A thorough understanding of pathogenic microorganisms and their interactions with host organisms is crucial to prevent infectious threats due to the fact that Pathogen-Host Interactions (PHIs) have critical roles in initiating and sustaining infections. Therefore, the analysis of infection mechanisms through PHIs is indispensable to identify diagnostic biomarkers and next-generation drug targets and then to develop strategic novel solutions against drug-resistance and for personalized therapy. Traditional approaches are limited in capturing mechanisms of infection since they investigate hosts or pathogens individually. On the other hand, the systems biology approach focuses on the whole PHI ...

Su, canlıdır, Allah’ı zikreder, O’na şükreder, hamd eder. Su, bütün biçimlerin kendinden çıktığı esas madde, varoluşun özü, yaratılışı önceleyen ve onu sağlayan temel unsurdur. Yaradılış su ile başladı. Bir damla sudan yaratılan, su içinde serpilen, su kenarına yurt kuran, suyla temizlenen, susuzlukla terbiye edilen, hayatı su ile devam eden ve sudan mahrum kaldığında sona eren insanoğlunun künhünde hep su oldu. Bu şekilsiz, kokusuz, renksiz ve tatsız mucize, binlerce yıllık çağıltısıyla kültürlerin gelişmesine, uygarlıkların kurulmasına vesile oldu. Hiç azalmayacakmış gibi zannedilen bu değerli kaynağın tehdit altında olduğuna artık hepimiz vakıfız. Şu hâlde bize düşen, insan davranışlarının su üzerindeki etkilerini ahlâkî açıdan inceleyen, bu davranışların ahlâkî kurallara bağlı olarak gelişmesi gerektiğini savunan bir değer yargıları bütünü olarak Su Ahlâkı’nı gündemimize almaktır.
This study provides a systematic overview of articles and article systems in the world’s languages using a sample of 104 languages. Articles can be classified into 10 types according to their referential functions: definite, anaphoric, weak definite, recognitional, indefinite, presentational, exclusive-specific, nonspecific, inclusive-specific, and referential articles. All 10 types are described in detail with examples from various languages of the world. The book also addresses crosslinguistic trends concerning the distribution and the development of different article types, and it proposes a typology of article systems. The aim of this study is to provide a general crosslinguistic overview concerning the attested properties and distributions of articles. It is geared towards readers with interests in language typology and the nominal domain, and it can serve as a point of reference for language-specific studies of articles or determiners.
This book examines how hate crime, as a contemporary legal concept, is introduced and represented in Turkish public discourse. The study addresses questions of how effective the hate crime debate in Turkey has been in identifying bias-motivated violent incidents and how social institutions perceive hate crimes and influence the related debates instigated by social movement actors. First of all, the study explores the movement against hate crime in Turkey, and argues that hate crime has operated as an umbrella term, diverting distinct identity movements into dialogue and collaboration, but has also created a partial collective identity. Thereafter, to grasp the repercussions of the emerging anti-hate crime movement in the public discourse, the book focuses on the media and parliament. Accordingly, media and the governing bodies, in both direct and indirect ways, are shown here to constitute an impediment to the recognition of bias and prejudices.
In recent years, the demand for health services has increased as a result of the awareness of society in countries, increasing inequalities, unemployment, migration, climate change, epidemics, inflation, aging, increasing use of health technologies, and similar developments. This has led to a significant increase in healthcare spending. To meet this rising demand and health spending, policymakers have had to create new resources and enact new policies and regulations for resource allocation. Growth rates in national economies have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in recent years. The studies to be conducted in this Research Topic will guide policymakers in the future by showing how economic growth affects health services and whether it leads to differentiation among countries. The research will examine the relationships between health spending, health indicators, and economic growth in OECD countries. OECD stands for “The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development”, a group of 38 countries with market-based economies where the governments collaborate to ensure sustainable economic growth.
