SAD is a relatively common disorder that is associated with lower self-concept in children and adolescents. Low paternal education, trait anxiety, and low self-concept may be the intervention targets for SAD prevention and treatment.
The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical features and frequency and importance of related co-morbid disorders of social phobia in a clinical sample. Eighty-seven patients meeting DSM-III-R diagnostic criteria for social phobia were studied. All patients were assessed by using a semi-structured socio-demographic form, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R, Manual for the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-III-R Personality Disorders, Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety. Sixty-eight (78.2%) of the group were male, 19 (21.8%) were female. The ages varied between 16-58 years, with a mean of 26.2 years (SD = 8.5). Fifty-one point seven percent of the subjects were assessed as having a co-morbid axis I disorder, of which 12.6% consisted of panic disorder and 10.3% agoraphobia. An additional axis II disorder had been found in 67.8% of the subjects, and 54.0% of them had been diagnosed as having avoidant personality disorder. The frequency of co-morbid disorders in our social phobic sample is lower than most of the studies in the literature. The interface between social phobia and avoidant personality disorder needs to be studied and discussed further.
The Marmara earthquakes occurred in the Marmara Region (North West) of Turkey in 1999 and resulted in a death toll of approximately 20,000. This paper investigates the relationships between diagnoses and certain variables in children who developed emotional and/or behavioral disturbances in the aftermath of the Marmara earthquakes and were subsequently seen at a child psychiatry outpatient clinic. The variables evaluated are gender, age, the location where the earthquake was experienced, and the degree of losses, bodily injuries, and damage to the residence. Medical records of 321 children and adolescents ranging in age from 2 to 15 years who presented at the clinic due to problems associated with the earthquake between August 1999 and February 2000 were reviewed. Of the patients, 25.5% were diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), 16.5% with acute stress disorder (ASD) and 38% with adjustment disorder. No relationship is found between gender and diagnosis. Younger age groups tended to be diagnosed with adjustment disorder. Those who had lost relatives, friends or neighbors were more frequently diagnosed with ASD or PTSD. The same was true for children whose residence was heavily damaged. Children and adolescents constitute the age group that is most severely affected by natural disasters and display significant emotional-behavioral disturbances. The frequency of ASD and PTSD found in our study is considerably high. Although rarely mentioned in the literature, adjustment disorder appears to be one of the most common reactions of children to trauma.
Tarımsal Araştırmalar Politikalar Genel Müdürlüğü (TAGEM) güçlü alt yapısı ve uzman personeliyle ülkemizde tarımsal araştırmaları destekleyen en önemli kurumlardan birisidir. Çalışmamızda 1992-2022 yılları arasında TAGEM tarafından hayvan sağlığı alanında desteklenerek sonuçlandırılmış 317 projeden üretilmiş bilimsel yayınların bibliyometrik analizi yapılmıştır. Enstitülerin sonuçlandırdıkları proje sayıları incelediğinde Veteriner Kontrol Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü 57 proje ile ilk sırada yer aldığı, bilimsel performansları incelendiğinde ise Elazığ Veteriner Kontrol Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü’nün ilk sırada yer aldığı görülmüştür. Proje sonuçlarının bir çıktısı olarak uluslararası ve ulusal dergilerde 142 makalenin yayımlandığı tespit edilmiştir. Projelerin kelime yoğunluk dağılım bulutu incelediğinde sırasıyla koyun, aşı, sığır, şap, ELISA, virus ve PCR en çok kullanılan anahtar kelimeler olmuştur. Yayımlanan makalelerin bilim dallarına göre dağılımları incelendiğinde ise, en çok mikrobiyoloji (53 makale) alanında yayım yapıldığı, bunu sırasıyla viroloji (46 makale), parazitoloji (22 makale), biyokimya, farmakoloji ve toksikoloji ile patoloji bilim dallarının takip ettiği belirlenmiştir. Projelerden yayımlanan makalelerin %69,7’lik oranını mikrobiyoloji ve viroloji bilim dallarında, %4,2’lik oranının ise farmakoloji ve toksikoloji bilim dalından olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmayla ilk defa TAGEM’in hayvan sağlığı alanında desteklediği araştırma projelerinden üretilen bilimsel yayımların bibliyometrik analizi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgularla araştırmaları yürüten enstitülerin bilimsel performansı karşılaştırılmalı bir şekilde ortaya konmuştur. Anahtar kelimeler incelenerek araştırma eğilimleri belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulguların araştırma ve insan kaynağı politikaları için önemli veriler içerdiği görülmüştür.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
