    A cross-linguistic approach to children's reasoning: Turkish- and English-speaking children's use of metatalk
    (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Hartwell, Kirstie; Köymen, Bahar; N/A; Özkan, Fatma Ece; Master Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    When collaboratively solving problems, children discuss information reliability, for example, whether claims are based on direct or indirect observation, termed as “metatalk”. Unlike English in which evidential marking is optional, languages with obligatory evidential marking such as Turkish, might provide children some advantages in communicating the reliability of their claims. The current preregistered online study investigated Turkish- and English-speaking 3- and 5-year-old children’s (N = 144) use of metatalk. The child and the experimenter (E) were asked to decide in which of the two houses a toy was hiding. One house had the toy’s footprints. When E left the Zoom meeting, an informant told the child that the toy was in the other house without the footprints in three within-subjects conditions. In the direct-observation condition, the child witnessed the informant move the toy. In the indirect-witness condition, the informant checked both houses and said that the toy was in the other house. In the indirect-hearsay condition, the informant simply said that the toy was in the other house. When E returned, the child had to convince E about how they knew the toy was in the other house using metatalk (e.g., “I saw it move”). Turkish-speaking children used metatalk more often than did English-speaking children, especially in the directobservation condition. In the two indirect conditions, both groups of 5-year-olds were similar in their use of metatalk, but Turkish speaking 3-year-olds produced metatalk more often than did English-speaking 3-year-olds. Thus, languages with obligatory evidential marking might facilitate children’s collaborative reasoning

    Other non-reproductive endocrine abnormalities in the survivors of childhood and adolescent cancers: review
    (Türkiye Klinikleri, 2014) Polat, Mehtap; Güzel, Yilmaz; N/A; Öktem, Özgür; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; 102627
    There are numerous treatment-related risks for long-term adverse outcomes among survivors of childhood cancer after exposure to chemotherapeutic drugs and radiotherapy. Cancer types in which risk of endocrine system abnormality is higher are central nervous system tumors, Hodgkin Lenfoma and hematological disorders with patients who underwent whole-body irradiation and high-dose, especially alkylating agents chemotherapy drugs, prior to the scheduled bone marrow transplantation. Cognitive dysfunction after cranial irradiation, poor cardiovascular outcomes, obesity, radiation-associated differences in pubertal timing, development of primary hypothyroidism, impaired skeletal growth breast cancer as a second malignant neoplasm, and osteonecrosis. Growth retardation and shortness of the target size can be seen in patients with growth hormone deficiency, central precocious puberty and primary hypothyroidism. Adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) deficiency can be seen in long-term use of corticosteroids, in the presence of brain tumor, in patients undergoing radiation on the pituitary region, or depending tumor growth or compression. In this review article, up to date information about other non reproductive endocrine abnormalities in the female survivors of childhood and adolescent cancers.
