  • Turkish President Turgut Özal's Impact on Nursultan
    TURKISH PRESIDENT TURGUT ÖZAL’S IMPACT ON NURSULTAN NAZARBAYEV’S PERCEPTION OF TURKEY* Nursultan Nazarbayev'ın Türkiye Algısına Tugut Özal'ın Etkisi Din Muhammed AMETBEK** Abstract Nursultan Nazarbayev as the founding President of Kazakhstan played a determinant role in the formation of Kazakh foreign policy. In this respect, the article examines Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey as a decision maker in foreign policy are based on observation rather than realities. Nazarbayev is aware of the fact that the national identity of Kazakhstan is divided between two competing poles; Russian and Kazakh, in a broader sense; Slavic and Turkic. From this perspective, Nazarbayev’s perception of Turkey is significant as it is not only related to foreign policy but at the same time the national identity of Kazakhstan. The study argues that the President of Republic of Turkey of early 1990s Turgut Özal with his active diplomacy towards Kazakhstan contributed to the positive image of Turkey. The research concludes that close and reliable relations between Nazarbayev and Özal became the basis of a strategic part- nership between Kazakhstan and Turkey. Keywords: Turgut Özal, Nursultan Nazarbayev, Kazakhstan, Turkey, Perception, National Identity Özet Kazakistan’ın kurucu Cumhurbaşkanı Nursultan Nazarbayev’in, Kazak dış politi- kasının oluşumunda belirleyici rol üstlendiği kesindir. Bu bağlamda, makale, Nazarba- yev’in Türkiye algısını ele almaktadır. Çünkü inşacı ekolün iddiasına dış politika kararları gerçeklere değil algı üzerine alınmaktadır. Nazarbayev Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliğinin Rus ve Kazak olarak, daha geniş kapsamda Slav ve Türk olarak yarışan iki kutba ayrıldığının farkındadır. Buradan hareketle, Nazarbayev’in Türkiye algısı, yal- nızca dış politika açısından değil aynı zamanda Kazakistan’ın ulusal kimliği açısından da önemlidir.

Björnsson1,2,3 Published online: 16 July 2019 # Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Purpose of Review Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is not an uncommon liver disease in many parts of the world. DILI is one of the most common causes of acute liver failure in most countries. The current review summarizes the global epidemiology of DILI. Recent Findings The number need to harm in terms of DILI due to amoxicillin-clavulanate was approximately 1 out 2300, but was higher for azathioprine (1 out of 133) and infliximab (1 out of 148). A retrospective Chinese study showed the highest rate of DILI in hospitalized patients with an incidence of approximately 24 patients per 100,000 annually with a more favorable prognosis in the DILI cohort than previously reported from Europe, the USA, and Asia. Summary Although large DILI registries from Europe and the USA have collected much data, more prospective studies with continual enrollment are needed particularly as new therapies such as immune modulatory and oncological medications with longer half-lives and latencies come to market. Keywords DILI . Hepatotoxicity . Epidemiology . Incidence . Prognosis . Global Introduction performed. Two in Europe and one recently in the USA are notable [13, 14, 15•]. Hepatotoxicity, drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and adverse With growing registry and cohort data, some recurring liver reactions are terms used interchangeably.
