OBJECTIVE: A 1 -day point prevalence study was planned to obtain country data by determining the clinical characteristics, follow-up and treatment methods of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases that required intensive care unit (ICU) treatment in the second year of the pandemic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All patients who were hospitalized in the ICUs due to COVID-19 between March 11, 2022, 08.00 AM, and March 12, 2022, 08.00 AM, were included in the study. Demographic characteristics, intensive care and laboratory data, radiological characteristics, and follow-up results of the patients were recorded. RESULTS: A total of 811 patients from 59 centers were included in the study, 59% of the cases were male, and the mean age was 74 +/- 14 years. At least one comorbid disease was present in 94% of the cases, and hypertension was the most common. When ICU weight scores were examined, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation -II: 19 (15-27) and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment: 7 (4-10) were seen. Sepsis was present in 37% (n = 298) of cases. PaO2/FiO2 ratios of the patients were 190 the highest and 150 the lowest and 51% of the cases were followed via invasive mechanical ventilation. On the study day, 73% bilateral involvement was seen on chest x-ray, and ground -glass opacities (52%) were the most common on chest tomography. There was growth in culture in 40% (n = 318) of the cases, and the most common growth was in the tracheal aspirate (42%). CONCLUSION: The clinical course of COVID-19 is variable, and ICU follow-up was required due to advanced age, comorbidity, presence of respiratory symptoms, and widespread radiological involvement. The need for respiratory support and the presence of secondary infection are important issues to be considered in the follow-up. Despite the end of the second year of the pandemic and vaccination, the high severity of the disease as well as the need for follow-up in ICUs has shown that COVID-19 is an important health problem.

Orman yakma suçuna ilişkin Yargıtay kararları üzerine bir inceleme
(2023) Cesur, İ.; Bulut, A.
Orman yakma suçu ve uygulanacak yaptırımlar, 6831 sayılı Orman Kanunu’nda düzenlenmiştir. Özellikle son yıllarda iklim değişikliğinden kaynaklanan etkilerin daha yoğun hissedilmesi ve Türkiye’de terör amaçlı yangın çıkarma eylemi de sıklıkla başvurulan bir suç olmasından dolayı orman yangınlarına ilişkin kanundaki düzenlemelerin önemi gittikçe artmaktadır. Yangının başlaması için gerekli olan yanıcı, yakıcı ve tutuşturucu unsurların bir araya gelmesiyle ortaya çıkan orman yangınları, kuraklık ve rüzgârın etkisiyle kısa sürede çok geniş alanlara yayılabilmektedir. Türkiye’de yaşanan orman yangınlarının yalnızca %2’si yıldırım düşmesi gibi doğal yollarla meydana gelmektedir. Geriye kalan %98’lik kısmında, insan faktörünün etkili olduğu bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle Orman Kanunu uyarınca orman yakma suçu ve unsurları ile 5237 sayılı Türk Ceza Kanunu (TCK)’ndaki yangına sebebiyet verme suçu, taksir ve kasıt ile işlenen orman yakma suçu ve 6098 sayılı Türk Borçlar Kanunu (TBK)’nun ilgili hükümleri bir arada değerlendirilecektir. Ardından orman yangınlarına sebebiyet verme şeklinde ortaya çıkan uyuşmazlıklara ilişkin yargı kararları incelenerek, orman yangınlarının ardından ortaya çıkan uyuşmazlıklara ilişkin yargısal süreç analiz edilmeye çalışılacaktır.
Temporal Analysis of Riparian Buffer Zones and Demographic Trends in the Coastal Districts of Kastamonu
(2024.01.01) Bulut, A.; Aktürk, E.
Aim of study: This study investigates the temporal changes of forest areas within and outside the Riparian Buffer Zones (RBZs) and examines their correlation with demographic trends in the coastal districts of Kastamonu from 1987, 2000, and 2016 to assess how population dynamics influence forest cover. Area of study: The study was conducted in four coastal districts in northern Kastamonu province, T & uuml;rkiye, covering approximately 1000 square kilometers and focusing on 153 forest villages. Material and methods: Geographic Information Systems and remote sensing data delineated and analyzed land cover and population changes. The study used Landsat imagery and population data to explore spatial and temporal dynamics within the RBZs Main results: The study found a significant increase in forest area from 1987 to 2000 and a subsequent decrease from 2000 to 2016, Awith these changes showing a weak but significant negative correlation with the declining local population. Research highlihts: AThe findings suggest that declining rural populations may reduce anthropogenic pressures on forests and pose challenges to effective forest management and conservation. The research highlights the need for sustainable strategies integrating demographic change with forest conservation efforts to maintain ecosystem services and biodiversity.
The impact of computer-assisted and direct strategy teaching on reading comprehension
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Bulut, A.; Yıldız, M.
Background: The use of computer-assisted reading comprehension is of critical importance in the context of promoting effective and engaging literacy education in the digital age. It provides students with the opportunity to work at their own pace and convenience, thereby facilitating self-directed learning and accommodating various learning preferences and schedules. Objectives: The objective of the study was to investigate the impact of computer-assisted and direct strategy teaching on reading comprehension, reading comprehension self-efficacy and reading comprehension metacognitive awareness. An experimental application based on the SQ4R strategy was conducted in the direct strategy teaching (DST) and computer-assisted strategy teaching (CAST) programmes. In the DST group, the implementation of the SQ4R strategy was conducted through direct strategy teaching, whereas in the CAST group, the same activities were carried out with the assistance of computer-based resources. The principal objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of computer-assisted strategy instruction. Methods: This study employed a combined sequential descriptive design, integrating qualitative and quantitative research models. The study was conducted with 61 fourth-grade students, enrolled in three classrooms of a public school situated in the central district of Kastamonu, Turkey, which is characterised by a moderate socioeconomic level. The quantitative component of the study was designed as a pre-test–post-test control group experimental study. The qualitative component of the study comprised focus group interviews and observation. Two experimental groups and one control group were established in the course of this study. In the quantitative dimension of the combined sequential descriptive model, the Reading Comprehension Test, Metacognitive Reading Comprehension Scale, and Reading Comprehension Self-Efficacy Scale were employed as data collection instruments. In order to collect data in the qualitative dimension, semi-structured interview and observation forms were employed. Furthermore, the researcher's diaries, maintained throughout the research process, were employed as a data source. The quantitative data were analysed using the following techniques: arithmetic mean, frequency, percentage, standard deviation, ANOVA and covariance analysis (ANCOVA). A descriptive analysis was employed for the evaluation of the qualitative data. Results and Conclusions: Upon examination of the post-test scores of the CAST, DST and control group students in the Reading Comprehension Test, it was observed that the CAST group exhibited the highest average. A statistically significant difference was also identified between the CAST group and the control group. Nevertheless, no statistically significant difference was identified between the DST group and the control group. Nevertheless, an examination of the mean scores reveals that the DST group exhibited considerably higher Reading Comprehension Test scores.
