- ItemBibliometric analysis and mapping of the benefits and challenges of cloud ERP systems(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2023) Şahinaslan, Önder; Şahin, Ahmet; Şahinaslan, Ender; 122635Enterprise resource planning is an effective tool in achieving management goals. Cloud ERP systems and applications are platform-independent offerings of this management tool in a cloud environment. This study was carried out to make sense of the advantages, difficulties and relationships of the cloud ERP system with scientific studies. For this purpose, the Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases and the Publish or Perish, WOSviewer and Excel applications were used. Statistical analysis, text mining, word network association, visual mapping and trend analysis were performed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the total rate of publications produced in the last 3 years was 43%, the most cited work was Springer (20%) and the country was the USA (10%). It was determined that the three most frequently used keywords were ‘cloud ERP’, ‘ERP system’ and ‘ERP’. A strong correlation was found between ‘study’ and ‘challenge’ in text mining. The challenge was closely related to ‘SMEs’, ‘data’, ‘provider’, ‘technology’, ‘literature’ and ‘cloud environment’. In recent studies, the concept of ‘cloud ERP implementation’ in SMEs has come to the fore.
- ItemDetermining the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females(Bayrakol Medical Publishing, 2024-10) Uray, Ecem Özge; Batar, Nazlı; Tuna Tuğba; 256218; 336342Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females. Material and Method: This study was conducted between January and March 2022 with the participation of 120 adult females who applied to Özel Maltepe Ersoy Hospital, Nutrition, and Diet Polyclinic for body weight control. The researchers recorded participant information form, IPAQ-SF, 24-hour retrospective food consumption record form, and FINDRISK data through face-to-face interviews. NAR and MAR scores were used to determine the diet quality of individuals. Results: It was determined that as body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-height ratio, neck circumference, body fat percentage, and fat mass values increased, the diabetes risk scores of individuals increased (p<0.05). It was determined that decreasing lean body mass and percentage increased the risk of diabetes (p<0.05). Biochemical parameters FBG, Insulin, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TG values were found to be higher in individuals with high and very high diabetes risk compared to other individuals (p<0.05). It was determined that the risk of diabetes decreased as the physical activity levels of individuals increased (p<0.05). Diabetes risk score, and it was determined that there was no correlation between the biochemical parameters (p>0.05). Discussion: It has been determined that individuals’ anthropometric values, body composition, and physical activity level are important factors in the risk of diabetes. Appropriate health policies should be developed considering this situation.

Despite diligent treatment efforts, her condition took a devastating turn when, in June 2023, she was diagnosed not only with persistent RPF but also with advanced liver, omental, and duodenal cancer. Tragically, her condition deteriorated rapidly, leading to her passing on day 41 following her presentation. This case underscores the challenges of diagnosing and treating RPF. It highlights the importance of considering cancer development in advanced RPF cases that do not respond to treatment, often leaving limited options for effective intervention.
- ItemOutcomes of Liver Transplantation in Infants: A Retrospective Cohort Study(Elsevier, 2024-12) Erbiş, Halil; Kılınç, Eyyüp Mehmet; Fırat, Aynur; Aliosmanoğlu, Çiğdem; Ağca, Mevlüt Harun; Aliosmanoğlu, İbrahim; 104930Background. Liver transplantation (LT) is a crucial treatment for infants with end-stage liver disease, yet specific data on LT outcomes in infants under 12 months old remain limited. This study aims to present the clinical course and outcomes of infants who underwent LT, assessing the impact of demographic and etiological differences on mortality and survival. Methods. A retrospective analysis was conducted on 64 infants (< 12 months) who underwent LT between January 2019 and March 2024. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected from their medical records. LT-specific details, postoperative complications, and survival data were analyzed. Results. The median age of the infants was 157 days, with 37 boys (57.8%) and 27 girls (42.2%). Biliary atresia was the most common diagnosis (85.9%), and seven infants had undergone a previous Kasai procedure. The median pediatric end-stage liver disease (PELD) score was 15.5. Left lateral segmentectomy was the predominant graft type (60.9%). The median pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and hospital stays were 5 and 21 days, respectively. Complications occurred in 20 infants (31.3%), with vascular and biliary complication rates both at 12.5%. The overall mortality rate was 17.2%, with early (30-day) and late mortality rates of 6.3% and 10.9%, respectively. The median overall survival (OS) was 204.5 days, and the 1-year survival rate was 32.8%. Kaplan-Meier and log rank analyses showed no significant impact of sex, age, diagnostic groups, graft type, or surgical complications on OS (P> .05). Conclusions. LT in infants can be performed with acceptable morbidity and mortality rates, particularly with increased experience and standardized protocols.

The objective of this research was to assess the efficacy of bowel preparation (BP) and colonoscopy compliance of video training given to patients prior to colonoscopy. Material and methods. In this single-blind randomized controlled study, patients in the control group received traditional written instructions with the same content as oral instructions. A total of 139 patients were included in the study, 70 of whom were allocated to the video education group, and 69 to the traditional education group. After the procedure, both groups’ BP quality and satisfaction with education were measured. Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, Boston Bowel Preparation Scale, Colonoscopy Preparation Compliance Form, and Education Satisfaction Form were used in the study. Results. The BP quality scores of the patients in the video group were found to be higher than the traditional method (p<0.05). In addition, it was found that the educational satisfaction scores, general BP compliance score, solid diet compliance scores, and liquid diet compliance scores were higher in the video group than in the traditional method patients (p<0.05). Conclusions. Video-based colonoscopy preparation training is an effective alternative to traditional methods.
- ItemThe effect of conscious mindfulness-based program (MBP) applied to emergency nurses on their anxiety and quality of life: A randomized controlled study(Kare, 2024-09) Çalışkan, Behice Belkıs; Güneş, Ayşegül; Tekin, Yasemin Eda; Ayvaz, Meryem Yıldız; Kızıl, Hamiyet; 292320Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of a mindfulness-based program applied to nurses working in the emergency department on their anxiety and professional quality of life. Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with 50 nurses working in the emergency department. Data were collected with a sociodemographic information form, state-trait anxiety & imath;nventory (STAI), and quality of life scale for employees (ProQOL-30). Mindfulness-Based Program (FTP), which lasted for 8 weeks and was an application of 2.5 h/week, was applied to the experimental group. A pre-test before the application and a post-test after the application (1 week after the application was completed) were administered to the experimental and control groups. In evaluating the data, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kurtosis, Skewness, Chi-Square, and Fisher's exact tests were used. Results: It was found that the STAI state and trait anxiety pre-test mean scores of emergency nurses were not significantly different between the experimental and control groups (p>0.05), but the STAI state anxiety post-test mean score was significantly lower in the experimental group (t=-3.527, p=0.01). In addition, no significant difference was detected between the ProQOL-30 scale general and all subscale pre-test scores of the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). In addition, while there was no significant difference between the ProQOL-30 scale general and sub-dimension pre-test and post-test scores of the control group (p>0.05), it was found that the ProQOL-30 general score average increased significantly after the application (t=-2.113). Conclusion: It was concluded that the mindfulness-based program is a program that reduces the anxiety levels of emergency room nurses and increases their work-life satisfaction levels.
- ItemThe predictive role of eating disorders and physical activity in findrisc diabetes risk: the sample of nutrition and dietetics students(Pontificia Universidade Catolica Campinas, 2024-06) Hamurcu, Pınar; Batar, Nazlı; 256218Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eating disorder risk and physical activity level on diabetes risk in students enrolled in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 313 students enrolled in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at a private foundation university during the academic year of 2021-2022. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews using the Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale, and Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire. The data was analyzed using IBM®SPSS® v.26 statistical software. Results Among the Nutrition and Dietetics students, 91.1% were female, mean age was 21.42±3.62 years, and mean body mass ındex was 21.72±3.25 kg/m2. According to International Physical Activity Questionnaire assessment, 8.9% of the students were categorized as inactive. The SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale assessment revealed that 25.6% of the students were at risk of developing an eating disorder. The Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire assessment indicated that 90.7% of the students had a low to slight risk of diabetes. The results of the correlation analysis showed that as International Physical Activity Questionnaire scores increased, Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire scores decreased by 16.8% (p=0.003), and as SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale scores increased, Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire scores also increased by 28% (p<0.001). The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that International Physical Activity Questionnaire significantly predicted Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire score, accounting for 3.8% of the variance, while SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale predicted Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire score, accounting for 8% of the variance (p<0.001). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that physical activity level and susceptibility to eating disorders have a significant effect on the development of diabetes mellitus.
- ItemThe role of ergonomics training and posture exercises in surgeons’ musculoskeletal system disorders(Turkish Surgical Assoc, 2024-09) Külekçioğlu, Sevinç; Dilektaşlı, Evren; 249947Objective: The surgeon needs to understand the risks involved in performing surgery with ergonomic errors. Although there are many barriers to ergonomic effectiveness, success begins with the surgeon’s awareness, recognition of existing obstacles, and education. The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of ergonomic training and posture exercises on the surgeon’s pain, physical workload, psychological state, and quality of life to prevent musculoskeletal system disorders and extend career life. Material and Methods: Surgeons who had completed at least one year in their profession, worked an average of 40 hours a week, had musculoskeletal pain in at least one area, and volunteered to participate in the study, regardless of gender and age, were included in the study. Researchers carried out the ergonomics training and exercise program individually by giving face-to-face training. Surgeons were asked to complete the physical workload questionnaire (PWQ), Beck depression index (BDI), and short form health survey (SF-36) before and one month after the study. Changes in visual analogue scale (VAS) and activities of daily living were recorded. Results: Surgeons who received ergonomic training and exercise programs showed significant improvements in pain, physical workload, depression, and quality of life measurements. Conclusion: To prevent fatigue and pain resulting from the accumulation of ergonomic flaws, surgeons should be trained and guided on proper posture and endurance, and encouraged to maintain a comfortable and natural posture.
