The first part of the study includes a literature review on child abuse, child sexual abuse, moral-social and legal aspects of this issue, victim-suspect relations, the effects of sexual abuse on children, as well as the process of law enforcement during the sexual abuse inquisition and the theories of sexual deviance and sexual abuse issues. The findings of this research were compared with some similar studies (national and international) and the literature related to child sexual abuse in terms of the following dimensions; victims' age and gender, forms of abuse, victim-suspect relations, post-traumatic responses and complaints of victims, victims' parents approaches and responses, defense mechanisms and cognitive distortions of suspects. |
In the second and third parts, we explained the procedure and presented the outcomes of the analyses. |
In the second part, we described how the data was collected by taking the necessary permits and approvals, how the sample was selected and the related research method was administered. |
The relevant analyses and assessments were reported in two sections: descriptive and relational analyses. |
The findings of this research were compared with some similar studies (national and international) and the literature related to child sexual abuse in terms of the following dimensions; victims' age and gender, forms of abuse, victim-suspect relations, post-traumatic responses and complaints of victims, victims' parents approaches and responses, defense mechanisms and cognitive distortions of suspects. The first part of the study includes a literature review on child abuse, child sexual abuse, moral-social and legal aspects of this issue, victim-suspect relations, the effects of sexual abuse on children, as well as the process of law enforcement during the sexual abuse inquisition and the theories of sexual deviance and sexual abuse issues. |
We found that these commonalities depend on certain factors such as the victim's age (0-12, 13-15), whether there was a penetration or not and whether the suspects was a family member of the victim or not. |
In the final part of the research, sexual abuse cases were described and some further suggestions were made on the issues such as enriching the literature of sexual abuse, making the investigations of sexual abuse more effective, legal regulations, and increasing the number of informative and awareness-raising activities. The first part of the study includes a literature review on child abuse, child sexual abuse, moral-social and legal aspects of this issue, victim-suspect relations, the effects of sexual abuse on children, as well as the process of law enforcement during the sexual abuse inquisition and the theories of sexual deviance and sexual abuse issues. |
Violence against women is a violation of human rights which includes all sorts of attitudes that disrupts both physical and mental integrity and it can not be justified with any kind of religious, political or cultural grounds. |
So understanding their attitudes against this subject is very important to ameliorate the effectiveness of the prevention programs.In this study, 470 policemen who work in Fatih, Zeytinburnu and Eyüp districts between 02.03.2012 ? |
SPSS17.0 software was used in the analysis of the data. |
As a consequence of the research it is discovered that the participants are more confident in their attitudes towards violence against women than in professional roles in violence against women. |

The purpose of the experimental study, evolving out of bite marks on various materials created by volunteers, stating expressly the elimination and the prevision of suspects can be made or not. |
In our study, we let 20 volunteers (gender distribution is equal) get bitten styrofoam, apples, cucumbers, cheddar cheese, transparencies, and their upper arms (biceps). |
Under the leadership of ABFO , photographs were taken that show the structure of intraoral which are necessary for bite mark analysis, and the dental plaster models belonging to individuals were supplied and screened. |
After these operations, in Adobe Photoshop CS4 Extended software (with computer-aided) transparent coating is applied. |
Comparisons were classified within the standards and the results have been reached. |
In addition to the bite mark analysis, t- test which is a kind of statistical test and revealed that there is a significant differences bite mark areas between gender was applied. |
According to the results materials it is seen that is bitten by individuals and transparent coating which is obtained from dental plaster models belonging to individuals the bite marks on styrofoam, cheddar cheese and the upper arm of the traces are at much more positive chime (in sync) than the bites marks on apples, cucumbers and acetate materials. |
We believe this experimental study will contribute to forensic science of the bite mark researches and will support future studies. |

In addition to studies on this field; crime records of the ones attempted suicide and their families were investigated, the states of running away from home were ascertained and the blood type analysis was carried out and a meaningful connection between this data and suicide attempts was revealed. |
The analysis of data that is not available in other studies is really important for this study's originality. |
Everybody has to contribute to the prevention of suicide attempts and the coordination between institutions is of great importance. |
Impairment" is defined as the persisting failure of an organ or body system as a result of physical, chemical and psychological factors after the correct treatment and decrease in vocational incapacity/inability according to persons age. |
Vocational incapacity/inabilty in the indemnity claims and the loss of the earning capacity in the profession for the pension indemnity claims that are both known as 'impairment' in medical forensic practice are both calculated by using Declaratory Procedure Guidelines of the Incapacity to Work and Impairment Ratios of the Turkish Social Security Institution. |
In United States in order to evaluate impairment and disability ratios American Medical Association Evaluation of Permanent Impairment Guide (AÖY) is used. And the lowest correlation was seen between Declaratory Procedure Guidelines of the Incapacity to Work and Impairment Ratios of the Turkish Social Security Institution and American Medical Association Evaluation of Permanent Impairment Guide. |
In our study, incapacity to work and impairment ratios for non-traumatic neurological diseases that have been seen more often with the increase in average life expectancy were calculated for all cases according to the three guidelines: "Declaratory Procedure Guidelines of the Incapacity to Work and Impairment Ratios of the Turkish Social Security Institution", "Disability Criteria, Classification and Regulation of the Board of Health Reports that are given to Disabled People" and "American Medical Association Evaluation of Permanent Impairment Guide". |
In our study; the cases that had had non-traumatical neurological system malfunction and been referred to The Third Specialized Board of Turkish Council of Forensic Medicine during the quinquennium from 2008 to 2012 with the request from Public Prosecution Offices and The Courts for the evaluation of the disability and impairment ratios were retrospectively reviewed. |
In the assesment of the cases that lost % 60 percent or more of their body labour force it is found that; in 38 % of them there is paresis/plegia and speech disorder due to serebrovascular hemorrage (SVH), 12 % epilepsy, 7 % brain tumors or arteriovenous malformation, in 5 % vasculitis, infection or polio disease, 4 % MS, 4 % Parkinson disease, 3% myopathy,dystrophy or Myastenia Gravis disease and 23% combination of more than one of these diseases. |

ABSTRACT THE EVALUATION OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS AUTOPSİED BETWEEN 2008-2012 YEARS IN ELAZIĞ Although the transportation industry offers a lot of options to people today such as railway, seaway and airway, in our country, the "highway transportation " is generally the main choice and as the result, deaths, injuries, disabilities and consequently, significant economic losses occur. |
In our study, 422 in or out vehicle traffic accident case, in which the autopsies as well as corpse examinations were performed by Fırat University, Department of Forensic Medicine, between 01.01.2008 and 31.12.2012, were evaluated in terms of the data regarding the age, sex, date and season of the accident, the accident site, where the accident occurred, the role of the deceased in traffic (such as driver, passenger, pedestrian) whether the autopsy was performed or not, the safety status of the vehicle that involved into the accident for the passenger and the driver (safety belt, airbag etc.) |
the alcohol and controlled substance status of the cases, involved into the accident, the place that the death occurred, the admittance period at the hospital, the locations of the injuries, detected on the decreased persons and causes of death. |
In our study, 322 of 422 cases are male (%76.3) and 100 are female (23.7) in addition to the fact that the age average is 43.5±23.9 years. |
It was determined that the accident related deaths most commonly occur in the age group of 20-49 (%48.4) and most commonly occurred in summer with 161 cases. |
(%38.2) The Autopsy was performed on 388 of the cases (91.9) and %16.9 of the drivers were found of to be under the influence of alcohol. |
In order to prevent the traffic accidents, we concluded that increasing the traffic controls and inspections in holiday periods such as in summer seasons, taking the necessary measures for pedestrian safety, realizing a balanced distribution between the transportation alternatives, along with the alcohol, carrying out effective controls and inspections regarding drugs and encouraging the use of vehicle safety systems such as safety belts shall decrease the traffic accidents mortality and morbidity at a significant level. |

Aims: This study aims to research the apoptotic cell death that occurs in brain cortex and hippocampus region following repetitive traumatic brain injuries (R-TBI) and to brighten the relationship between secondary seizure after TBI and apoptosis. The increase of Bcl-2 production is detected the occurrence of the apoptotic cell deaths and as a response of the apoptosis in brain cortex and hippocampus in post R-TBI. |
Materials and Methods: Sprague Dawley 28 daily young rats are used in this study. |
The groups of Sham, R-TBI, low concentration pentylenetetrazole (lc-PTZ) and R-TBI+lc-PTZ are formed. |
The staining of hematoxylene and eosin as well as TUNNEL, caspase-3, Bcl-2, GFAP and c-fos immunohistochemistry staining are applied. On the brain sections that are gotten after the application of R-TBI and lc-PTZ, the increase of TUNNEL, caspase-3, Bcl-2 immunoreactivity and also observed the significant increase of caspase3 and Bcl-2 gene expression levels according to Sham group are determined. |
After the extraction of brain cortex region, Real Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR), Caspase-3 and Bcl-2 gene expression levels are detected. On the brain sections that are gotten after the application of R-TBI and lc-PTZ, the increase of TUNNEL, caspase-3, Bcl-2 immunoreactivity and also observed the significant increase of caspase3 and Bcl-2 gene expression levels according to Sham group are determined. |
Immunohistochemistry paintings are compared as semi quantitative evaluating between the groups. |
Gene expression levels are analyzed with the SPSS21 statistical programme. |
Findings: According to Racine scores young rats are observed the average 3.3 which normally not causative for convulsion in post lc-PZT. |
On the brain sections that are gotten after the application of R-TBI and lc-PTZ, the increase of TUNNEL, caspase-3, Bcl-2 immunoreactivity and also observed the significant increase of caspase3 and Bcl-2 gene expression levels according to Sham group are determined. The staining of hematoxylene and eosin as well as TUNNEL, caspase-3, Bcl-2, GFAP and c-fos immunohistochemistry staining are applied. |
The increase of Bcl-2 production is detected the occurrence of the apoptotic cell deaths and as a response of the apoptosis in brain cortex and hippocampus in post R-TBI. |
Either immunoreactivities or the gene expression levels are paradoxically decreased in R-TBI + dd-PTZ group. |
When we evaluate GFAP and c-fos immunoreactivity, it is detected the increase of the staining in all groups according to Sham group and the neurons in hippocampus region are more sensitive for the convulsion trauma and post trauma. |
It is fixed the increase of astrocyte and neuronal cell activation as secondary in either cortex or hippocampus region trauma. |
Result: R-TBI decreases seizure threshold in young rats and causes apoptotic cell deaths in cortex and hippocampus region of the brain. The increase of Bcl-2 production is detected the occurrence of the apoptotic cell deaths and as a response of the apoptosis in brain cortex and hippocampus in post R-TBI. |

Allthough there has been a debate over joint custody in law doctrine in our country, no studies have been found in the literature assessing the factors that affect joint custody and parents' contemplations on the matter. In our study, concept of custody and joint custody in Turkish and comperative law, the effect of joint custody on both parents's and children's mental health after divorce, factors affecting parent's choices for joint custody has been discussed. |
In our study, concept of custody and joint custody in Turkish and comperative law, the effect of joint custody on both parents's and children's mental health after divorce, factors affecting parent's choices for joint custody has been discussed. |
The study sample consists of a 60 volunteer couples with at least one child under the age of 18 with ongoing contested (30 couples) and uncontested (30 couples) divorce cases at the Family Courts in Istanbul Anatolian Courthouse. |
Demografic Data Form for determining general characteristics of participants, Perpesctive of Joint Custody for determining participants' ideas on joint custody, Mc Master Family Assessment Device, FAD for determining spousal relations, Parental Attitude Research Instrument -PARI for determining parental attitudes were used. |
Data were analysed with SPSS 20 ( Statistical Package for Social Sciences). |
Frequencies and percentages were calculated by descriptive statistics, associations between categorical variables were calculated by Chi Square Test, comparisons of three and more groups were analysed by Krusal Wallis Test and comparisons of two groups were analysed by Mann Whitney U Test, .05 was accapted as significance level. |
Our study has exhibited that couples who prefer uncontested divorce had lower rates of conflicts, more agreement on joint custody, had a more democratic attitute toward their children compared to the couples who prefer contested divorce, parents from higher education level and economical status had more agreement on joint custody, the ratio of men who supports joint custody were higher, working mothers prefer ed consensus with fathers on decisions for children's mental and physical health, and in general indivuduals : individuals state an opinion in favor of joint custody for the responsibility, moral education and mental and phsysical healthcare of their children. |

We used to five different surfaces (walls, woods, metals, fabrics and foams), three different temperatures ( 4 °C , 25 °C and 37 °C ), two different times (one and four weeks) and three different pocket types (paper envelopes, plastic bags and cloth sacks) in our study. |
At the end of the microbiological analysis, longer waiting time of pockets, microbial growth increase in paper and cloth packages. |
The most common coagulase-negative Staphylococcus sp., Bacillus sp., Penicillium sp., Bacillus subtilis, S. aureus and E. coli was found during our examinations. |
We suggest that, sent the evidences to laboratory in short time and after desiccation, scrapt the blood samples to clean and steril paper, packages the evidences in paper envelope, don't conservative the evidences in a refrigatory, carry box etc. |
Evaluation and Proposed Solutions for the Sexual Abuse Cases Among 9-17 Age Group During the Forensic Period Objective The purpose of this study is to examine the individual, familial, socio-demographic properties related to the abuse, forensic medical and physchological examination findings of the cases reported to Istanbul University, Department of Forensic Medicine in 2013, in order to identify the trauma experienced during the forensic period and to generate solution proposals by determining the relationship between this trauma and diagnosed anxiety levels. |
Materials and Methods 60 females between the age of 9-17 have been evaluated. |
Cases with medium and severe mental retardation have not been included in this study. |
For the forensic medical consultations held with the victims and their families, the "Sexual Abuse Case Evaluation Form" developed by us for this study and "State–Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children" in order to measure the anxiety level, have been used. |
The acquired data related to anxiety levels has been compared with the relationship between the child and the offender, the form and quantity of sexual abuse and the existence of accompanying traumatic experiences, physical examination findings, the attitude of the victim and their family towards sexual abuse and the number of physical examination and interviews. |
Results % 87 of the incidents have been forwarded from courts and prosecutorials, and % 5 from the other departments of Istanbul Faculty of Medicine. |
It has been also determined that the % 40 of the abuses has been carried out by penetration, and that the incidental anxiety levels have been higher in the existence and the repeating of penetration. |
Conclusions The fact that the children have been obliged to describe the incident and undergo several examinations leads to an increase in the anxiety levels of the victim and further abuse. |
Key Words: Sexual abuse, anxiety level, genital examination, forensic medicine |
In the current competitive industry, pallets and storage racks may support heavy loads that have the potential to injure workers and damage equipment if the pallets and racks fail and loads fall. |
In spite of their complexity, racks are able to carry heavy loads, though they are designed as lightly as possible, and industries often rely on 3-dimensional Finite Element Analysis to achieve this objective. |
