Publication Metadata only Prophylactic cranial irradiation in small and non-small-cell lung carcinoma(Springer, 2016) Topkan, Erkan; N/A; Selek, Uğur; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; 27211At initial presentation, approximately 10–14 % of small-cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) patients manifest with radiologically evident brain metastases (BM) which arises up to 69 % at 2 years. Similarly, brain failures are reported in 21–54 % of all non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) patients, and of these, the brain is the first site of relapse in 15–30 % cases. Although significant improvements have been achieved in local and distant control of both SCLC and NSCLC as a result of implementation of aggressive treatment modalities, unfortunately such aggressive treatments proved no noteworthy viability in lessening of overall brain or brain as the first site of relapse rates. Regarding its counteractive actions on BM emergence, the potential beneficial effects of prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) in patients with limited-stage SCLC (LS-SCLC), extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC), and locally advanced NSCLC (LA-NSCLC) have been addressed with several randomized trials and meta-analysis. Based on the results of these investigations, PCI of 25 Gy (2.5 Gy in ten fractions) should be recommended for all medically fit LS- and ES-SCLC patients with any objective response to primary therapy in order to reduce BM incidence rates and to prolong OS times. Although the PCI studies in LA-NSCLC patients suggest significant reductions in BM incidence rates with PCI, yet in the absence of an established survival benefit, it is currently quite difficult to recommend its routine use in LA-NSCLC patients. However, future studies involving high-risk patients may prove worthy in determination of the exact impact if they are needed in order to reliably comment on the issue of PCI in LA-NSCLC patients.Publication Metadata only From crime and punishment to empathy and acceptance: family therapy training and supervision with Turkish juvenile probation officers(Taylor and Francis, 2019) Department of Psychology; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 222027The first offense of the youth indicates an underlying unresolved issue in the family system and the youth involved in crime is the symptom carrier. Probation officers need to work with youth to identify their needs for further resources to prevent future crime. For Ahmet, crime emerged as a way of connecting with his uncle; it was a shared experience that made him feel connected to a family member. Although crime was dysfunctional and harmful, it had an emotional and a relational meaning for Ahmet. In the eyes of the family, Ayse was not a motivated idealistic helper, nor was she their ally. They perceived Ayse simply as another representative of the state, an officer, and a symbol of institutional punishment. The beauty of family therapy is to collect broken pieces of hearts of family members and heal them through hope, connection, loyalty, trust, acknowledgment, and empathy.Publication Metadata only Linguistic strategies serving evaluative functions: a comparison between Japanese and Turkish narratives(Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Inc., 2003) Nakamura, Keiko; Department of Psychology; Küntay, Aylin C.; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 178879N/APublication Metadata only Turkish literature(Springer, 2018) Parla, Jale; Department of History; Department of Comparative Literature; Ertem, Özge; Uslu, Mehmet Fatih; Teaching Faculty; Faculty Member; Department of History; Department of Comparative Literature; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 37406My basic thesis about the cultural and epistemological significance of the theme of the fathers and sons has not changed over the years. The quest for a father as absolute authority continued to inform Turkish thought and literature, with only a few exceptional interludes as with the novels of the 1970s. It is, I feel, a mind-numbingly uninteresting phenomenon. Why? Because it has been the same for centuries-the quest for a father, the readiness to escape from freedom, the insecurity when faced with the possibility of a fatherless vacuum, and the need to fill it at all costs. In my subsequent work, I rethought and revisited the Tanzimat (Reorganization) period of 1839-1876, and I came to realize that certain themes that persist in the literary and cultural spheres-modernization, Westernization, issues concerning language reform-were taken up and debated much more judiciously and liberally back then, particularly when compared to the sectarian, prejudiced, and hostile debates of later periods. In this respect, I draw the line with the Servet-i Fünun (Wealth of Knowledge) period of 1891-1901, during which cultural and literary quarrels became harsher and were carried into the partisan disputes of the Republican era.Publication Metadata only Context shapes human development: studies from Turkey(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018) N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; Kağıtçıbaşı, Çiğdem; Cemalcılar, Zeynep; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A; 40374This chapter aims to provide a comprehensive perspective on human behavior by studying the role of the distal environment on developmental processes. Social class, or more specifically socioeconomic status, is an all-encompassing context that has great significance in engulfing human phenomena. This chapter first reviews extant psychological literature on the deleterious effects of low social class on development and presents three studies as cases in point, demonstrating the significant impact of the context and contextual change on behavior. Kağıtçıbaşı’s theory of family change proposes three models of family: family of interdependence, family of independence, and family of emotional interdependence. Parenting, however, directly reflects family characteristics. Thus family change theory has led to a theory of the autonomous-related self. The chapter also presents research illustrating the impact of the objective environment and in particular the detrimental effects of low socioeconomic status on various developmental, social, and academic outcomes of Turkish samples.Publication Metadata only Ethno-religious division of labour in urban economie s of the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century(Berghahn Books, 2020) Güvenç, Murat; Department of History; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem; Faculty Member; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 33267N/APublication Metadata only Feeling attached to symbolic brands within the context of brand transgressions(Emerald, 2015) Sayin, Eda; Department of Business Administration; Canlı, Zeynep Gürhan; Faculty Member; Department of Business Administration; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 16135Purpose We propose that brands with strong associations and dedicated customers may be vulnerable if customers perceive them as exploiting their relationship. Methodology/approach - We start by reviewing the literature on brand meaning, brand attachment, brand relationships, and brand transgressions. The extant literature implies that as a result of their willingness to sustain their brand relationship, highly attached consumers will either discount negative information about a brand or attribute the responsibility for the negative information to some external factors. We propose, on the other hand, that when negative information dilutes the reason for brand attachment, the norm of the consumer brand relationship is violated (brand transgression). Then we argue that highly attached consumers of that brand will react more negatively (when compared to consumers not feeling highly attached) toward the brand. Findings We introduce a typology of brand transgressions against the (1) expressive, (2) exclusive, (3) expert, and (4) empathic nature of brands. We discuss the possible effects of attachment levels on consumers' reactions after such brand transgressions. Additionally, we articulate the moderating effects of four consumer motives (need for self-enhancement, need for uniqueness, need for risk avoidance, and need for justice) on consumer reactions. Originality/value - Our reasoning counters the literature suggesting that highly attached consumers of a brand will engage in relationshipsustaining behaviors. We contribute to the brand-transgression literature by providing a more structured and detailed definition of brand transgressions by classifying them under four distinct types.Publication Metadata only Making language around the globe: a crosslinguistic study of homesign in the United States, China and Turkey(Psychology Press Taylor and Francis Group, 2008) N/A; Department of Psychology; Özyürek, Aslı; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/ABut what happens when a child is not exposed to a conventional language?In 1985, Dan Slobin encouraged the eld of language acquisition to take advantage of the fact that the world’s languages constitute a range of “experiments of nature.” Different types of languages pose different types of acquisition problems for the language-learning child. By observing children who are exposed to languages that vary systematically along one or more dimensions, we can get some sense of which aspects of languages, if any, present stumbling blocks to the language-learner. Moreover, to the extent that we see children change the input they receive, we get insight into the role children themselves play in shaping the language they learn-as Dan so eloquently put it, the child as “language-maker” (Slobin, 1985a).Publication Metadata only Reconstruction techniques for mega bone defects(Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2015) Eralp L.; Şen C.; Eren, İlker; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; 168021Trauma, tumors, and infections requiring resection leave orthopedic surgeons a problem to deal: bone defects. Bone defect management is a long-lasting topic, and different treatment strategies are suggested. Currently, segment transport techniques are accepted as gold standard for extensive defects. In the last decade, various treatment approaches are popularized. In this chapter, both segment transport and more recent techniques such as vascularized grafting or cage reconstruction are presented. © Springer Berlin Heidelberg 2015.

Before to start the anesthetic induction we have to assess the anatomic airway changes, the cardiopulmonary fitness, lung mechanical function and lung parenchymal function. Chest radiograph and CT scan preoperative assessment it’s necessary to decide which is the optimal airway devices including DLT, bronchial blockers or both to perform a lung isolation or a selective lobar blockade guided by fiberscope to avoid tracheobronchial damage. Protective ventilation and permissive hypercapnia is very important to manage these patients. Moreover, it’s necessary to apply a protective ventilation but if anesthesiologists needed have to be ready to use other methods to improve the gas exchange as high frequency ventilation and extracorporeal ventilatory assistance among others.
