This study aimed to investigate the aggression and empathetic tendency levels of the students studying at Mustafa Kemal University by considering the gender and sport education variables. “Personal Information Form” developed by the researchers, the “Aggression scale” developed by Kiper (1984) and the “Empathic Tendency Scale” developed by Dökmen (1988) were used as data collection tools. The aggression and empathic tendency levels of the participants were compared in terms of their genders and whether they were doing sports or not. The study group of the research consisted of 535 participants including 254 women and 281 men who were studying at the Mustafa Kemal University during the 2012-2014 academic year. The scale of the aggression and Empathic tendency scale for non-parametric tests, Mann Whitney U test for binary comparisons is the significance level used is 0.01 and 0.05 level has been tested. When considering the findings it was discovered that according to the gender the destructive aggression and passive aggression levels of the women regardless to their sport educations were significantly higher. Again in terms of gender variable woman who do not get education of sport empathic tendency levels are more higher than man who do not get education of sport. As a result: in terms of the participants of this study according to the sport status the gender variable was not a significant variable in changing the aggression and empathic tendency levels, as well as it could be stated that doing sports was effective to some sub-dimensions. ÖzetBu araştırmada, Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesi öğrencilerinin cinsiyet ve spor eğitimi alma durumları dikkate alınarak, saldırganlık ve empatik eğilim düzeylerinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, Kiper (1984) tarafından geliştirilen ‘‘Saldırganlık Ölçeği’’ ve Dökmen (1988) tarafından geliştirilen ‘‘Empatik Eğilim Ölçeği’’ kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların saldırganlık ve empatik eğilim düzeyleri, spor yapıp-yapmama ve cinsiyet değişkenleri açısından mukayese edilmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2013-2014 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında Mustafa Kemal Üniversitesinde öğrenim gören 254’ü  kadın, 281’i erkek olmak üzere toplamda 535 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Saldırganlık ölçeği ve Empatik eğilim ölçeklerine yönelik non-parametrik testlerden ikili karşılaştırmalar için Mann Whitney U Testi kullanılmış olup anlamlılık düzeyi 0.01 ve 0.05 düzeyinde sınanmıştır.  Bulgulara bakıldığında katılımcıların cinsiyet değişkenine göre spor eğitimi alan ve almayan kadınların, Yıkıcı saldırganlık ve Edilgen saldırganlık düzeylerinin anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu bulgulanmıştır. Yine cinsiyet değişkeni açısından spor eğitimi almayan kadınların, spor eğitimi almayan erkeklere oranla empatik eğilim düzeylerinin anlamlı düzeyde yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir  Sonuç olarak; bu çalışmanın katılımcıları açısından spor yapma durumlarına göre, cinsiyet değişkeninin genel manada saldırganlık ve empatik eğilim düzeylerini değiştirmede belirleyici bir değişken olmadığı, bunun yanı sıra bazı alt boyutlarda spor yapmanın etken olduğu söylenebilir.

AbstractObjective: This study aims to determine the correlation between risk factors and erosive esophagitis development.Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study on a consecutive series of 19.672 patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal endoscopy between 01.01.2011-31.12.2017. A total of 3005 patients, diagnosed with erosive esophagitis, were included in the present study and stratified according to Los Angeles classification.Results: During the studied period we found 3005 patients with erosive esophagitis, sex ratio male to female was 1.3/1, the most common forms of esophagitis being grade A and B: 74.54% patients with esophagitis grade A, 14.80% patients with grade B; 5.29% patients were with grade C and 5.35% patients with esophagitis grade D. In severe esophagitis the male predominance was more prevalent (249 males, 71 female), with a sex ratio 3.50/1. The correlation of male gender with severe esophagitis was highly statistically significant (p < 0.0001, OR 2.97; 95% CI 2.25-3.91). Hiatal hernia was diagnosed in 1171 patients, the presence of large hiatal hernias, being an important predictor, with statistical significance (p < 0.0001, OR 3.41; 95% CI 2.22-5.21), for severe esophagitis development. Incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection was 11.51%, in the entire study group, with no statistical significant difference between patients with mild or severe esophagitis (12.02% vs 7.18%).Conclusion: Erosive esophagitis is a frequent disease, the most common forms being grade A and B. Male gender and the presence of hiatal hernia are the most important risk factors for erosive esophagitis development, in our study group.

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.
