Paracetamol is a common analgesic drug widely used in all regions of the world more than hundred tonnes per year and it poses a great problem for the aquatic environment. Its phenolic intermediates are classified as persistent organic pollutants and toxic for the environment as well as human beings. In the present study, the irradiation of aqueous solutions of paracetamol with 60Co gamma-rays was examined on a laboratory scale and its degradation path was suggested with detected radiolysis products. The synergic effect of ozone on gamma-irradiation was investigated by preliminary ozonation before irradiation which reduced the irradiation dose from 5 to 3 kGy to completely remove paracetamol and its toxic intermediate hydroquinone from 6 to 4 kGy as well as increasing the radiation chemical yield (Gi values 1.36 and 1.66 in the absence and presence of ozone, respectively). The observed amount of formed hydroquinone was also decreased in the presence of ozone. There is a decrease in pH from 6.4 to 5.2 and dissolved oxygen consumed, which is up to 0.8 mg l(-1), to form some peroxyl radicals used for oxidation. Analytical measurements were carried out with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and ion chromatography (IC) both qualitatively and quantitatively. Amounts of paracetamol and hydroquinone were measured with gas chromatography after trimethylsilane derivatization. Small aliphatic acids, such as acetic acid, formic acid and oxalic acid, were measured quantitatively with IC as well as inorganic ions (nitrite and nitrate) in which their yields increase with irradiation.
Araştırmanın amacı İstanbul'a medikal tedavi amaçlı gelen turistlerin tedavileri boyunca katıldıkları rekreasyon faaliyetlerinin tespit edilmesi ve bu faaliyetlerin müşterilerin tatmini ile ilişkisinin ortaya konulmasıdır. Araştırmanın veri toplama sürecinde anket tekniğinden faydalanılmıştır. Anket medikal tedavi amaçlı İstanbul'a gelen 415 turiste uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra t-testi, ANOVA, regresyon ve korelasyon analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırmanın sonucunda İstanbul'a gelen medikal turistlerin tedavileri dışında boş zamanlarını değerlendirdikleri rekreasyon faaliyetleri ayrı ayrı belirlenmiş ve medikal turistlerin boş zaman davranışları ile tatminleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum gelen turistlere medikal hizmetlerine uygun rekreasyon faaliyetlerinin oluşturulması gerekliliğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bu doğrultuda aracıların faaliyetlerini yönlendirmesi tercih edirlilikte etken olacaktır.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
