The new Champions League format and Financial Fair Play were discussed in the context of the research topic and the participants stated that these two concepts were useful but structurally lacking.                         Conclusions: As a result, the process and the findings show that; It will be the most accurate and efficient strategy for both football clubs and UEFA to give priority to the opinions of the fans in the actions to be taken. ​Extended English summary is in the end of Full Text PDF (TURKISH) file.   Özet Amaç: Araştırmada, 18 Nisan 2021 tarihinde kamuoyuna sunulan Avrupa Süper Ligi’ne ve etkilerine yönelik taraftar görüşlerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.                                                                                Yöntem: Nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması deseni kullanılmış ve amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi ile belirlenmiş, farklı meslek gruplarına mensup, UEFA Şampiyonlar Ligi organizasyonunu her müsabaka haftası, spor haberlerini ise haftada en az 4 gün takip eden ve bir futbol takımının taraftarı olan 11 erkek katılımcı araştırmanın çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığı ile veriler toplanmış ve içerik analizine tabi tutulmuştur.                                                                                                                       Bulgular: Elde edilen bulgular neticesinde, futbolun popülaritesini tehdit eden unsurlar olmasına rağmen spor branşları arasında zirvede yer aldığı ve köklü değişimlerden ziyade faydalı eklemelerle ilerlemenin futbol için daha uygun olacağı katılımcıların görüşleri doğrultusunda tespit edilmiştir. Avrupa Süper Ligi kurucularının maddi çıkarlarına öncelik verdiği ve benimsenen spor kültürüne uygun olmadığı gerekçesi ile katılımcıların büyük bir çoğunluğu söz konusu projeye olumsuz yaklaşım göstermişlerdir. UEFA’nın bu süreçteki tepkilerini samimi görmediklerini ifade eden futbolseverler, projeye yönelik taraftar protestolarını ise haklı bulduklarını belirtmişlerdir. UEFA’nın uygulamalarından Yeni Şampiyonlar Ligi formatı ve Finansal Fair Play, araştırma konusu bağlamında ele alınmış ve katılımcılar bu iki uygulamanın faydalı ancak yapısal olarak eksik noktalara sahip olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir.                                                                                                                                                Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, yaşanan süreç ve elde edilen bulgular göstermektedir ki; gerek futbol kulüplerinin gerek UEFA’nın atacağı adımlarda önceliklerini taraftar görüşlerine vermeleri en doğru ve verimli strateji olacaktır.

Nitel araştırma desenlerinden olgu bilim desenine göre yürütülen çalışmanın araştırma grubunu 22 öğretmen oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz tekniği ile incelenerek; frekans ve tablolar ile sunulmuştur. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre öğretmenlerin tamamına yakını eğitim ile ilgili en az bir blog takip etmektedir. En çok takip edilen bloglar; "egitimhane", "egitimpedia", "vitaminogretmen" olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu blogları öğretmenlerin takip etme sıklığı çoğunlukla haftada bir kaç gündür. Öğretmenler bloglar dışında sosyal medyadan da kendi branşları ile ilgili içeriklerin yer aldığı grupları takip etmektedirler. Öğretmenlerin büyük çoğunluğu eğitim ile ilgili herhangi bir basılı yayın takip etmediklerini ifade etmişlerdir. Katılımcıların eğitim ile ilgili blogları kullanım amaçları sorulduğunda çoğunlukla öğrencilerine ödev-proje vs konusu belirlemek için, yıllık-günlük plan hazırlamak için, alanı ve mesleği ile ilgili güncel gelişmeleri takip edebilmek için ve sınav soruları oluşturmak için takip ettikleri görülmüştür.  Öğretmenler, eğitim ile ilgili blogların kendilerine sağladığı katkıları; zengin içerik deposu olması, fikir paylaşımına imkan vermesi, güncellik sağlaması, bilgiye ulaşım kolaylığı, kişisel gelişime katkı sağlaması, iletişimi kolaylaştırması, motivasyon kaynağı olması ve zaman tasarrufu sağlaması olarak ifade etmişlerdir. Öte yandan hazırcılığa alıştırması, bilgi kirliliğine yol açması, üreticiliği sıfırlaması, emek hırsızlığına yol açması, fikir dayatması hissine sebep olması ve öğrencilerin sınav sorularına ulaşabilmesi gibi faktörler ise öğretmenler tarafından blogların olumsuz özellikleri olarak ifade edilmiştir.

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to examine the educational problems of basic education students migrating from Syria encountered in the schools. The research study group involved 37 Syrian students, 4 school managers and 18 teachers who were willing to participate to the research from four different secondary schools. The study group was chosen according to accessibility criterion. The data were collected through interviews. Therefore, the data was analyzed according to the qualitative methods. In the analysis of data collected by using face to face interview technique and semi-structured interview form, the content analysis method was used. According to the research results, it was determined that Syrian students have a language problem, especially during their education. They had sufficient knowledge of the Turkish language to manage their daily lives, however, academically the knowledge was concluded as insufficient. The main problems occurring among Syrian students are communication skills and adaptation. Main causes of these two problems are the differences between the ethnic origin among the Syrians students and the integration and communication with Turkish students. The Syrian students can be divided into two group as Syrian Kurdish or Syrian Arab. Both groups indicate that it is hard to communicate with each other due to the language difference. Furthermore, the Syrian girls expressed that they have more difficulties in being accepted and making friends, which causes the feeling that they are left alone. The findings of the research reveal that Syrian parents do not visit the school and that their skills of understanding and speaking Turkish are far behind their children's ability to understand and speak Turkish. According to the students 'views, the main reason for their parents' not visiting the school is the language problem. According to the data obtained from the interviews conducted by the administrators, guidance teachers and class teachers of the schools, it has been determined that some Syrian students have problems in integration during school, lack of motivation for the classes, and a more introvert student profile compared to other students. On the other hand, it was also stated that it was uncommon that Syrian students were included or had caused for any improper circumstances at school or were involved in any disciplinary case.

Abstract Background Letrozole can significantly decrease the estrogen level, and has been administrated to prevent the incidence of early ovary hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). However, the effect of Letrozole on prevention of OHSS reached to controversial conclusions. The present meta-analysis aim to examine whether Letrozole could reduce the incidence of early OHSS after assisted reproductive technology (ART). Methods An exhaustive electronic literature search was conducted on MEDLINE, Google Scholar, CNKI and WANFANG MED ONLINE, from inception until May 2018. We include clinical trials that examined the effect of Letrozole on the prevention of early OHSS. The main outcome measures were the incidence of total early OHSS, mild early OHSS, moderate early OHSS, and severe early OHSS. Results Eight studies included in the review. Of these, five publications evaluated the effect of Letrozolel on the prevention of total, mild, moderate, and severe OHSS, respectively. The results indicated that there was a significantly decreased incidence of total OHSS with Letrozole compared with control group, and there were no significantly differences in the incidence of mild, moderate, and severe OHSS between study group with Letrozole and control group. Eight studies reported the incidence of moderate + severe OHSS. We found a significant decrease in incidence of moderate + severe OHSS in high-risk women with Letrozole. Conclusions Letrozole has no beneficial effect on the prevention of mild, moderate, and severe OHSS, individually; Letrozole should not be considered as the first-line treatment for prevention of OHSS. Further cohort studies are required to explore the effect of Letrozole on the prevention of OHSS. Plain English Summary This study aimed to examine whether Letrozole could reduce the incidence of early OHSS after assisted reproductive technology (ART). A meta-analysis including 8 studies was conducted. There were no significantly differences in the incidence of mild, moderate, and severe OHSS between study group with Letrozole and control group. Letrozole has no beneficial effect on the prevention of mild, moderate, and severe OHSS, individually.
