Monoamine oxidase-A gene promoter polymorphism in female migraineurs
Erdal, Mehmet Emin
Objective: To assess whether there is a relationship between monoamine oxidase-A (MAOA) gene promoter polymorphism and migraine in female patients. Study design: A polymerase chain reaction based study in which MAOA promoter polymorphism was studied in 54 female migraineurs and 52 controls. Methods: The low (3-repeat) and high (one of 3.5, 4 or 5 repeat units) activityMAOA alleles were detected. The genotypes and allele frequencies were compared both within and between the groups. Results: The representation of both low (1/ 1) and high (2/ 2) activity genotypes were similar between the female migraineurs and controls. The allele frequencies were also similar between these groups. There was no relationship between the presence or absence of aura and MAO polymorphism. Conclusion: MAOA gene p...
Monoamine oxidase-A gene promoter polymorphism in temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction
Erdal, Mehmet Emin | Erdal, Nurten
Objective: In this study we aimed to evaluate the relationship between temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction (TMJPD) within the frame of monoamine oxidase-A gene (MAO-LPR) gene polymorphism. Methods: Ninety-three patients with TMJPD, and 91 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R), Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS), and State and Trait Anxiety Inventory tests (STAI-I and STAI-II) were applied to the patients that were diagnosed as having TMJPD according to the standard clinical examination protocol. Blood samples were taken from the patients, and the variability in the MAO-A gene was analyzed by amplification of DNA with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for a genetic association study. Results: The analysis of allele and g...
Not only Relational but also Structural: Revisiting the Resolution of the 1998 October Crisis through Elements of Structural Power
Sarı, Buğra
The 1998 October Crisis between Turkey and Syria has long been studied in various aspects. However, these studies are limited to an understanding that depicts the crisis as a relational power relationship in which Turkey forced Syria to cease its support for the PKK, which Syria would not have done otherwise. While not rejecting the relational explanation, this paper attempts to complement it with a structural approach, drawing on the post-positivist structural power conceptualization, by investigating how Syria’s structurally shaped subjective interests in the post-Cold War international structure and norms regarding international terrorism disempowered it resisting Turkey’s demands.

Investigation of the role of K-ATP channels in the cytotoxic effect of cypermethrin on rat-derived aortic smooth muscle cells
Söğüt, Fatma | Uzun, Coşar | Kibar, Deniz | Çömelekoğlu, Ülkü
We investigate role of ATP sensitive potassium (KATP) channel in cytotoxic effect of cypermethrin on rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Cytotoxicity analysis was performed at 0, 0.1, 0.5, 10, 50, and 100 µM concentrations of cypermethrin and the cell index (CI) was calculated. KATP currents were recorded using patch clamp technique for 50 and 100 µM concentrations and channel conductivity was determined by obtaining current-voltage characteristics. No cytotoxic effect was observed in the first 72 hours. At the 96th hour, only at 100 µM concentration, the CI value decreased significantly compared to control group and at 120 and 144th hours, it was observed that the CI value decreased significantly at all concentrations. Currents and conductivities were significantly decreased at 50 and 100 µM ...
Metaphoric Conceptualization of Love Pain or Suffering in Turkish Songs through Natural Phenomena and Natural Disasters
Muhammet Fatih Adıgüzel
suffering in love is metaphorically conceptualized in Turkish via natural phenom ena and disasters. Based on figurative expressions in sad love songs of Arabesque and Art music genres, the study reveals that love pain/suffering is expressed through three salient metaphors: 1) LOVE PAIN/SUFFERING IS NATURAL PHENOMENA,2)LOVE PAIN/SUFFERING IS NATURAL DISASTERS, and 3) the overarching metaphor (the suffering) LOVER’SBODYISALANDSCAPE(affected by weather conditions or natural disasters). It was unearthed from metaphoric expressions in lyrics that as part of a cultural scenario, natural phenomena anddisastersareprofiledasinternalized forces culturally imagined to directly affect vital body parts to express the emotional distress or anguish of the Turkish lover. The overarching metaphor LOVER...
Development and Validation of Breastfeeding Expectations Scale-A (BES-A): A Questionnaire for Pregnant Women
Eker, Aslı | İsbir, Gözde Gökçe
The aim of this work was to develop a measurement for the expectations of pregnant women about breastfeeding and examine the psychometric properties of the scale. The study was conducted with two separate samples, including women who were �28 weeks pregnant. The first sample, comprising 322 women aged 19 to 49 years (M ¼ 28.19; SD ¼ 4.86), was formed to conduct an exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The second sample, which consisted of 274 women aged 18 to 42 years (M ¼ 28.16; SD ¼ 4.85), was formed to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The Prenatal Attachment Inventory and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale were administered. Data were collected between April and November 2021. In the EFA, two factors were obtained: "1: Enthusiastic Expectations of Breastfeeding" and "2: F...
