Methods: A total of 114 cases (38 males and 76 females) of Meniere's disease were treated with EA of Ermen(耳门 TE 21), Tinggong (听宫 SI 19), Tinghui (听会 GB 2), Yifeng (医风 TE 17), Fengchi (风池 GB 20) and Baihui (百会 GV 20). The treatment was given 3 times a week,9 times altogether. Follow-up was made at the end of the 3rd, 6th and 12th months after treatment. Results; Follow-up in 114 patients showed that after EA treatment, 63 cases (55.26%) were cured, 30 (26.31%) had remarkable improvement in their symptoms, 10 (8. 77%) responded with improvement and 11 (9.65%) failed in the treatment, with a total effective rate of 90.35%. Conclusion: EA treatment was effective in controlling Meniere's disease patients' symptoms and reducing attack.展开更多

Detecting a fraud in the organizations is very hard, because not only such a fraud is exercised by the people who have deep professional knowledge, but they also use some peculiar methods to hide their tricky activities. Therefore, it is obvious that it is necessary to have the fraud examiners and especially fraud auditors who should have deep professional knowledge and experience. The aim of this study is to give some general information about employee fraud, which targets the different functions of the companies, takes many forms, and reaches important levels in recent years, in qualitative point. In this study, firstly, forensic accounting is a highly dynamic area in nowadays which is related to fraud auditing and its profession, and its search area of frauds and employee frauds subjects have been reviewed. Finally, qualitative data were collected about fraud incidents which had occurred and been sent to the court in the province of Kars in Turkey. Actual case analysis method has been used in this study. The obtained data have been analyzed by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 17 statistics package program. Results of the study have been discussed and interpreted in details.展开更多

In addition, the by-products of olive production also find many uses. Due to the specific climatic requirements of the olive tree, olives are primarily cultivated in Mediterranean countries. The olive tree is widely distributed across Turkey. The Aegean, Marmara, Mediterranean, and southeastern Anatolia regions are the leading olive-producing regions of Turkey. Similar to most olive-cultivating countries around the world, the majority (nearly 73%) of the olives produced in Turkey are processed into olive oil. The average annual production of olive oil in Turkey is 150,000 t. The leading olive-producing provinces in the southeastern Anatolia region are, in descending order of importance, Gaziantep, Kills, Sanllurfa, Mardin, Adlyaman, Slrnak, and Diyarbaklr.展开更多

Chain of crises in financial markets spread to other sectors see that starting. This phenomenon depending on the potential risks of financial market actors, and especially banks, system identification, measurement, and control needs to be increased. This is referred to as the Basel Accords, depending on the needs the agreement of risk management has emerged. At first glance, the Basel Ⅱ Accord in terms of risk management in financial institutions risk management recommendations to the perception of the principles of the Basel Ⅱ Accord, but with a specific timetable, gradually emerges as a set of rules that must be passed as risk management. Finally, the financial crisis spread across the world from the United States, how much it reveals that risk management in the financial markets. In this study, capital adequacy ratio (CAR) banks operating in Turkey's correlation analysis investigated the effect of the banks.展开更多

In the Ottoman language, the word "tile" also means "Chinese work", or "belonging to China". The art of Turkish tiles occupies a place of prominence in the history of Islamic art. Its roots can be traced at least as far back as the Uygurs of the eighth and ninth centuries. Its subsequent development was influenced by the Karakhanids, the Ghaznavids, and (especially) Iranian Seljuk art. With the Seljuks' victory over the Byzantines at Malazgirt in 1071, the art followed them into Anatolia and embarked upon a new period of strong development fostered by the Anatolian Seljuk sultanate. The first major development in the art of tile-making occurred primarily in Anatolian Seljuk architecture. Various techniques have been used in the art of tiles which gave hundreds of samples for centuries. This study explores the glazed tile techniques used in the production of the S elj uk and Beylik periods.展开更多

It is also evidence that policy of the United States of America to make for its internal politics between two world wars was abandoned and it was intended to dominate world politics. Likewise, it can be considered as the smoking gun for power loss of continental Europe, including England, against the Soviet Union. When Turkey had to find its way into Western alliance in this new period divided into two poles and called as "Cold War", it intended to enter into economic acquis formed by Marshall Plan. Turkey, in the process to prevent the spread of communism against the Soviet Union that started mainly by Truman Doctrine, was of the first priority status by the USA just like Greece. It can be said that Turkish economy made an important progress to move into liberal system from its statist structure through Marshall Plan. Accession process to European Union integration mandated by the USA was started by Republican People's Party (CHP) and it was also continued in Democratic Party period with liberal program that took over the power as a result of elections in Turkey. Although Marshall Plan created economic added value in Turkey at the beginning, it could not create a sustainable welfare process as consultants coming from the USA had insisted on unilateral economic policies and Turkey was directed towards military spending due to being seen mainly as a buffer state against the Soviet Union and Middle East. It can be also said that arrangements arising from double standards in the application compared to European countries caused economic instabilities in the long run.展开更多

The experiment was carried out in a uniform wall heat-fluxed tube by varying turbulent airflow for Reynolds number ranging from 5300 to 24000. In the pres- ent work, the WVGs with an attack angle of 30° were inserted into the test tube at four different winglet pitch ratios (Rp = P/D) and three winglet-width or blockage ratios (Ra = e/D). The experimental results at various Rp and RB values were evaluated and compared with those for smooth tube and tubes with twist- ed tape or wire coil. The measurement reveals that the WVGs enhance considerably the heat transfer and friction loss above the plain tube, wire coil and twisted tape. The Nusselt number and friction factor increase with the increment Of RB and Re but with the decreasing Rp. The average Nusselt numbers for the WVGs with various Ra are in the range of 2.03-2.34 times above the plain tube. The thermal performance for the WVGs is found to be much higher than that for the wire coil and twisted tape and is in a range of 1.35-1.59. Also, a numerical investigation is conducted to study the flow structure and heat transfer enhancement mecha- nisms in the winglet-inserted tube.展开更多

Surface pressure-area isotherm indicates that stable monolayer is formed. The monolayer morphology on mica was investigated by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Columnar domains of ca. 100 nm X (20–30) nm appearing in the micrograph have ordered orientation. Polarized UV-vis spectra and small-angle X-ray diffraction pattern show that the macrocycles tilt in the monolayer. The orientation angle of the naphthalocyanine ring with respect to the substrate was found to be ca. 54°. Each monolayer is ca. 3.53 nm thick. The columnar domain comprises 4–6 rows of columnar supramolecular assemblies where the molecules stack face-to-face.展开更多
