  • Evaluation of a Chromogenic Medium for Rapid Detection of Extended Spectrum B-Lactamase Producing Salmonella Spp
    Indian J Med Res 124, October 2006, pp 465-468 Evaluation of a chromogenic medium for rapid detection of extended spectrum b-lactamase producing Salmonella spp. Sesin Kocagöz, Fatma Budak* & Deniz Gür** Yeditepe University School of Medicine, Department of Clinical Microbiology, Istanbul, *Kocaeli University School of Medicine, Department of Microbiology, Kocaeli & **Hacettepe University School of Medicine Children’s Hospital, Clinical Microbiology Laboratory, Ankara, Turkey Received December 1, 2005 Background & objectives: Salmonella spp. resistant to second- and third-generation cephalosporins and related antibiotics by production of various extended-spectrum b-lactamases (ESBLs) are on the rise in Turkey. Early detection of ESBL producing Salmonella is important to institute appropriate treatment in time. In this study rapid detection of ESBL production among clinical isolates of Salmonella was evaluated using double-disk synergy test in a new chromogenic medium. The colour of the medium changes from red to yellow with bacterial growth and red circular inhibition zones are produced around disks containing antibacterials. Methods: A total of 182 clinical isolates of Salmonella were evaluated in this study. The presence of ESBLs in clinical isolates was determined by double-disk synergy test using Mueller-Hinton (MH) agar and Quicolor E&S. Results: Six isolates were shown to harbour ESBL enzymes with double disk synergy test by Mueller Hinton agar. The same results were obtained using Quicolor E&S agar after 4-6 h by changing its colour in response to the metabolic activity of growing bacteria. Interpretation & conclusion: Our findings showed that with this new medium, the results can be evaluated rapidly within as 4-6 h and the enhancement of inhibition zones can be easily detected with the colour changes thus enabling the treating physician to institute the right treatment regimen immediately.

    Asian Journal of Education and Training Vol. 4, No. 3, 186-196, 2018 ISSN(E) 2519-5387 DOI: 10.20448/journal.522.2018.43.186.196 Investigation of Aggression Levels of University Students (Kocaeli University Case) Özlem Keskin1 Hakan Akdeniz2 1,2Faculty of Sports Sciences, Department of Recreation, Kocaeli, Turkey ( Corresponding Author) Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the aggression levels of university students in different departments in terms of sport and other variables. The population of the study consists of university students studying at Kocaeli University; the sample group consists of a total of 700 students, 378 male and 322 female, studying in the Faculty of Sports Sciences, Faculty of Communication and Faculty of Education of Kocaeli University. A screening model was used in this survey. A Personal Information form developed by the investigator and a Turkish-adapted Buss-perry aggression scale was utilized to determine the aggressive attitudes of the individuals. The frequency distribution specified the demographic features and analyzed the data; the T-test examined the relationship between the two independent variables; Anova Variance was used to review the connections between more than one variable. Finally, the significance level is accepted as p<0.05. According to the findings of the research, there are statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in terms of gender, family structure, school department, family attitude, mother still living, sporting situation, kind of sport performed, reason for involvement in sport, cigarette- alcohol abuse and income level. We can state that sport positively affects the aggression levels of university students. Sport also varies by the gender variable, and males are more aggressive than females.

No. 49/11, Kızılay 06420 Ankara, Turkey Phone: +90 (312) 310 66 36 ▪ Fax: +90 (312) 310 64 63 [email protected] ▪ http://www.tihv.org.tr HRFT Academy [email protected] ▪ http://www.tihvakademi.org/ This report is part of HRFT’s ongoing project “Supporting Academics as a Human Rights Actor in a Challenging Context,” funded by the European Commission’s European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights (EIDHR) Turkey Programme. Its content is the sole responsibility of HRFT and can in no way be regarded as reflecting the views of the European Union. Preface This report is part of a broader research project currently in progress.* Conducted by the Human Rights Foundation of Turkey (HRFT), the research is meant to explore the recent crackdown on Turkish universities and the destruction of the academic environment. The present report focuses on a special episode of that story, namely, the case of Academics for Peace. Turkish government declared a national state of emergency immediately after the failed coup in June 2016. Yet, universities were already in a de facto state of emergency that started with the case of Academics for Peace and the by now internationally well-known “Peace Petition,” released on January 11, 2016. What came to happen after the petition was a lynch campaign that lasted for months to silence and oppress its signatories. Academics who signed the petition were exposed to a variety of rights violations by political authorities and with the involvement of various agents, including university administrators, colleagues, public prosecutors, security forces, pro-government press and aggressive nationalist groups.
