Convergence in Homicide Rates Across the European Union Countries: Toward an Effective and Genuine Security Union
(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Adiyaman, Ezgi; Kasman, Saadet
This paper investigates whether homicide rates among the European Union (EU) member countries tend to converge over the period 1990 to 2018. We use the concept of beta-convergence proposed by Barro and Sala-i-Martin (1992) and employ the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM, hereafter) methodology for 2-years span panel data of 26 EU member countries. The results provide strong evidence for both absolute and conditional convergence of homicide rates across EU countries. Moreover, speed of homicide convergence is increased by the control variables, namely GDP per capita and unemployment rate. Hence, we conclude that the economic integration contributes to the process of convergence in homicide rates in the EU. JEL classification: O47; C23; K42

Can the Prognosis Be Predicted in Subacute Thyroiditis?
(2023) Saklamaz, Ali; Çiftçi, Özcan
Aim: Subacute thyroiditis (SAT) is a thyroid disease that seriously affects the quality of life for patients caused by acute inflammation of the thyroid gland. Apart from classical acute phase reactants, the values and rates obtained from peripheral blood count (mean platelet volume (MPV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR)) values are also accepted as practical indicators of systemic inflammation. Our aim in this study is to compare the effects of systemic inflammation markers and the treatments given in the laboratory tests of our patients with a diagnosis of SAT, on the hypothyroid state one year later. Material and Methods: In this study, which was carried out with a retrospective method, 133 patients were included in the study. The medical data of these patients at the time of SAT diagnosis and one year later were analyzed. 37 patients were in the steroid group and 97 patients were in the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) group. Results: The male/female ratio was similar in both groups. Female dominance was observed in both groups in patients diagnosed with SAT. The thyroid tests of the groups, which were hyperthyroid at the beginning and euthyroid one year later, were similar between the groups (p>0.05). Both groups had an increase in acute phase reactants at baseline (erythrocyte sedimentation rate [ESR] and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels) and normalized after treatment. Neutrophil (p0.05) and platelet (p0.05). Conclusion: Inflammation markers and treatments applied in SAT patients did not have a significant effect on the prognosis

Evaluation of Sodium Borate Glasses for Radioactive Waste Immobilization Applications
(Springer, 2017) Erenturk, Sema Akyil; Bengisu, Murat; Erdogan, Cem
Properties of sodium borate glasses, including chemical durability, leaching rate, glass transformation temperature, and melting temperature were analyzed for waste immobilization applications. The lowest dissolution rate (1.6 x 10(-8) g cm(-2) min(-1)) among candidate sodium borate host glasses was achieved in 45Na(2)O center dot 5P(2)O(5)center dot 5PbO center dot 45B(2)O(3). Similarly, the lowest dissolution rate (5.5 x 10(-8) g cm(-2) min(-1)) for simulated waste glass compositions was achieved in 20SrO center dot 80(30Na(2)O center dot 60PbO center dot 10B(2)O(3)). Clear vitrified waste products containing up to 35 mol% SrO and 25 mol% Cs2O were obtained. Low melting temperatures ranging from 222 to 440 A degrees C were achieved in simulated waste glasses.

Real Time Transaction Server
(2010) Ünlütürk, Mehmet Süleyman; Atay C.
In this paper, a windows server is designed to facilitate communication in a complex system such as hospital information system. The server has a Publish - Subscribe architecture that acts like a network router. Each client in the system sends its events with an event type. These events are received by any other client in the system which has a subscription to a channel that includes that event type. With this architecture, a client needs to open a single socket link to the real time transaction server (RTTS), regardless of the number of event types. This eliminates the burden of opening and maintaining multiple links for communication needs that are inherent in a complex system. Communication overhead is further reduced by providing a client control windows DLL that exposes a small set of methods, properties and events to connect, send and receive events from the system through RTTS.
