Description
Yoksulluğun her biçiminin ortadan kaldırılması günümüzde insanlığın karşı karşıya olduğu en büyük sorun olmaya devam ediyor. Aşırı yoksulluk içinde yaşayan insanların sayısı 1990 ile 2015 arasında 1,9 milyardan 836 milyona düşmek suretiyle, yarıdan fazla azalmış olsa da, hala çok sayıda insan en temel insani gereksinimlerini karşılama savaşı vermektedir. Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Amaçları, başlamış olduğumuz şeyi bitirme ve yoksulluğun her biçimi ve boyutunu ortadan kaldırma yönünde oldukça cesur bir taahhüttür. En korunmasız durumda olanların hedeflenmesi, temel kaynaklar ve hizmetlere erişimin artırılması ve çatışmalar ile iklim temelli afetlerden etkilenen toplumların desteklenmesini içerir.

    Patient satisfaction in outpatient medical care: the case of Iraq
    (2020-08-01T00:00:00Z) Al-Ezzi, Saad Ahmed Ali; AL-EZZI, SAAD AHMED ALİ
    Background:Healthcare providers are increasingly interested in patient satisfaction as an indicator to assess the quality of health services. This study investigates the level of satisfaction among Iraqi patients attending the outpatient (OP) clinic.Methods:This was a cross-sectional study conducted from October to December 2019 among outpatient attendees in two busiestcenters in Iraq. A convenience sample of 235 (response rate of 88.0%) completed the self-administered short-form patient satisfaction questionnaire (PSQ-18). The independent variables included socio-demographic, economic, and self-perceived health status. Data were analyzed in SPSS, where descriptive analysis (mean ± standard deviation) and univariate (independent sample t-test, ANOVA test) and multivariate linear regression -Enter technique- was done at 0.05 level of significance and 95% confidence interval.Results: The mean age of respondents was 39.3 (±14.8). The sample was mostly women (55.3%), and 37.4% in the age group of 30-49 years. More than half of participants residing in the urban regions (54.5%) from families of monthly household income less than 500,000 Iraq Dinars (USD 400). However, the majority (70.6%) have the first visit to the OP clinic, and 53.6% self-perceived health as good or very good. Results of multiple linear regression showed that patients residents in rural regions (B= 5.4 ,P<0.001), married (B= 4.8,P<0.001), unemployed (B= 4.7,P<0.001) and low educated (B= 1.5,P<0.051) exhibited higher service satisfaction score compared to urban residents, single, employed and high educated participants respectively. However, patients aged fifty years and more (B= -2.1,P<0.001) and those with poor health (B=-2.5,P<0.001) exhibited lower service satisfaction scores compared to young age patients and the healthy participants, respectively.Conclusion:The high demand for the use of health resources in metropolitan cities by the rural population indicates inequality in the distribution of health services and an increase in the rural-to-urban displacement.

    Hasta Mahremiyeti
    (2020-04-01T00:00:00Z) İlkılıç, İlhan; Önder, Orhan; KUCUR, CÜNEYT
    The sense of shame is part of human nature. What, then, is the role and significance of such a particular sensation, one that causes mental anxiety in a sick person’s weakest and the most vulnerable state? We know from historical documents going back as far as ancient Greece and Egypt that respecting patient privacy should be regarded as a moral duty for physicians in charge of treatment. However much today’s healthcare may have changed compared to centuries past, we note that patient privacy has not lost its importance. In the current healthcare system, digital recording of private information and images enables others, in principle, to access these personal data quite easily. While we cannot reject the advantages offered by modern medicine, we need to consider how to design a healthcare system that respects patient privacy. What should be the standards of privacy in emergency services where urgent decisions and interventions have to be made? How should we guarantee patient privacy during medical education? The chapters of this book approach questions like these from the perspectives of different disciplines. The writings illustrate the increasing complexity of patient privacy issues in modern healthcare systems, particularly the growing difficulty to protect confidential data. At the same time, we can observe that patients are becoming more aware of their rights and their sensitivity in this area has increased. In our opinion, an approach that requires us to choose between the two values –health and privacy – would be wrong. Therefore, the question we should focus on is: -what kind of healthcare system should be developed to ensure the greatest respect for humans’ natural right to privacy?- If we want to answer this question and find sustainable solutions for these problems, it is crucial to use a multidisciplinary approach. From this perspective, the present volume is a first contribution to be published in Turkey to pursue this aim, including articles offered from various disciplines.

    Electrochemical Study of Quantum Dots-Labeled Oligonucleotide Probes for Detecting Nucleic Acid of African Swine Fever Virus
    (2020-01-01T00:00:00Z) Banas, Dominik; Aksu, Davut Ahmet; Noguera, Marta Valle; Pay, Mert; Hosnedlova, Bozena; Kizek, Rene
    The study presents the cornerstone of the design of a biosensor for rapid detection of African swine fever virus (ASFV), affecting members of the Suidae family, in meat and meat products. Due to the widespread and serious socio-economic impact of this virus, there is an effort to prevent its spread by using a rapid detection, which can also be done by unprofessional operators (e.g., farmers). There are several methodological approaches utilizing nucleic acid amplification, e.g. PCR or RT-PCR, which require several technical steps or a high concentration of pathogen in the sample. Another technique that could overcome the above problems is the electrochemical nucleic acid detection. In this experimental work, the adsorptive transfer technique was used when the nucleic acid was accumulated on the electrode and a non-specifically linked oligonucleotide was washed away. To verify the stability of the ODN CA signal, the signals for King F and King R were measured for 15 days and control charts were generated. No measurement exceeded the 2 SD limit. The results show good reproducibility of measurements among individual days. QDs of 5 nm, with an excitation maximum at 327 nm and an emission maximum at 607 nm with an absorption maximum at 550 nm interacted with ODN. The adsorptive transfer technique was used in which the oligonucleotide was first bound to the electrode and then quantum dots was bound to the oligonucleotide, which was detected by measuring the signal of the separate oligonucleotide probes (King F and King R) (n = 10) and measuring the cadmium signal (n = 10). The oligonucleotide signals were King F 33 +/- 5 nA, King R 22 +/- 3 nA, King F/QDs 16 +/- 9 nA and King R/QDs 16 +/- 5 nA (oligonucleotide signal) and King F/QDs 62 +/- 16 nA and King R/QDs 89 +/- 18 nA (cadmium signal). These findings can be used for further experimental work in hybridizing oligonucleotide probes to viral DNA.
