The study was carried out with respect to three income groups. A total of 36 households (12 from each income groups) were assessed using different participatory appraisals through semi-structured questionnaires. A special type of indigenous knowledge on housing pattern and food habit was explored in the Mro community, which correspond to the severe dependence on forest resources.展开更多

Together with the 2003 Mass Housing Act, 14 legal regulations were enacted between 2002 and 2008 to expand the field of activity and increase the funds of TOKI （Governmental Mass Housing Administration） which was already established during ANAP （the Motherland Party） Government in 1980s. As a result of those regulations, TOKI, as the ＂latest goddess of the construction myth＂, became the only authorized organization in the field of housing and land production in AKP＇s cities. It acquired new duties from generating profit-oriented projects to protecting historical texture, and it was authorized to make and approve zoning plans for the lands and plots handed over to TOKI of the last government （the Justice and Welfare Party） created as an investor-entrepreneur-contractor-performer group. This paper＇s aim is to indicate the transformation of TOKI foundation during the last twenty years, and also to prove that TOKI, as a governmental profit-oriented design tool, has demolished the unique DNA/morphological textures of the contemporary Turkish big cities by producing low profiled similar architecture and urbanity in the recent past.展开更多

Methods： The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with SSB treated between 1954 and 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. METHODS The clinical and pathological data of 6 patients with SSB treated between 1954 and 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS All patients were female and one was menopausal. The median age of the patients was 39 years old （range, 20-55）. All cases had a history of a palpable mass. The tumor rapidly augmented in a short time period in 3 patients. One patient had discontinuous pain and 3 patients had masses located in the upper outer quadrant of the breast. The median tumor radius was 6.0 cm （range, 3-15 cm）. According to the AJCC breast cancer staging standard （6th edition）, 1 case was of stage ⅡA, 2 cases were of stage ⅡB, 2 cases were of stage ⅢB and one case couldn＇t be staged. Four patients were initially treated by excising the tumor and then undergoing mastectomy or modified radical mastectomy after recurrence. Radical mastectomy was suitable for those with pectoralis major muscle involvement. Two patients received simple mastectom）~ 2 patients underwent radical mastectomy and another 2 patients received modified radical mastectomy. After surgery, all patients were identified as SSB through pathology, with focal ossification in one case and mucinous degeneration in another one case. Four patients who underwent axillary lymph node dissection did not have lymph node metastases. Three patients received chemotherapy after surgery. After a median follow-up time of 36.5 months （8-204 months）, 4 patients had recurrence after local excision and 3 patients had recurrence more than 2 times with a median time to recurrence of 2.5 months （1 to 4 months） after surgery. One patient had lung metastases at 7 months after the initial surgery and the other 5 patients were alive without disease at the end of the follow-up period. CONCLUSION SSB is difficult to diagnose preoperatively and is characterized by its tendency to .recur locally. To obtain negative margins, wide local excision or mastectomy must be performed. Axillary lymph node dissection is not mandatory. The roles of adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy have still been controversial.展开更多
