Yayın Açık Erişim Efficiency of temperature and storage duration on some morphological measurements and reproductive capacity of the entomopathogenic nematode Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)'s Turkish HBH hybrid strain(Entomological Soc Turkey, Ege Univ, 2023) Bütüner, Alperen Kaan; Susurluk, İsmail Alper; BÜTÜNER, ALPEREN KAAN; SUSURLUK, İSMAİL ALPER; 0000-0002-2121-3529; GXV-0837-2022; JVR-3089-2024Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are successfully used in the biological control of agricultural insect pests. This study aims to determine the body length of hermaphrodite individuals, egg diameter and reproductive capacity obtained from Infective Juveniles (IJs) stored at different temperatures and durations. Heterorhabditis bacteriophora Poinar, 1976 (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae)'s Hybrid Strain HBH was used in the study. IJs stored at 15, 25 and 35 degrees C for 7, 14 and 21 days were inoculated onto Galleria mellonella L., 1758 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) last instar larvae at a dose of 100 IJs. On the 2nd day of infection, hermaphrodite individuals and eggs were obtained by dissecting the larvae. The reproductive capacity was determined 10-12 days after infection. The study was conducted in Bursa Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Plant Protection Department, Nematology Laboratory in 2023. In conclusion, the longest hermaphrodite individuals and egg diameter were obtained as 6207.22 mu m and 55.65 mu m, respectively from the IJs stored for 7 days at 15 degrees C. The highest reproductive capacity was also observed as 167.500 IJs per G. mellonella larva in IJs stored under the same conditions with respect to temperature and time. This study is important for assessing the morphological effects of different temperature values and storage durations on EPNs.Yayın Açık Erişim Investigation of morphological and biomechanical properties of the scapula for shoulder joint(Galenos Publishing House, 2023-09) Cini, Nilgün Tuncel; Sak, Nazan Güner; Babacan, Serdar; Arı, İlknur; ARI, İLKNUR; Sak, Nazan Güner; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Anatomi Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0002-7410-7738; ELI-9107-2022; HNN-1671-2023Objective: The glenopolar angle is a helpful criterion for recommending operative treatment. This study aims to determine the morphometric features of the scapula and provide essential information that supplies scapular biomechanics to produce a formula.Methods: The study was carried out on 34 dry scapulae in the laboratory of the Anatomy Department of the Faculty of Medicine, Bursa Uludag University. We used calipers for the linear measurements and the ImageJ program for the area and angle parameters. A total of 23 parameters were evaluated in the study. Statistical analyzes were performed using SPSS 22.0 software. Results: According to the results of the correlation analysis, the highest correlation value of (R=0.957) was found to be the distance between the superior angle (angulus superior)-top of the glenoid plane and the inferior angle (angulus inferior)-the top of the glenoid plane. To estimate the glenopolar angle, we applied linear regression analysis and developed the following formula: Glenopolar angle =115.589 - (6.401 x the distance between the coracoid process and the top of the glenoid cavity) - (0.368 x angle between the glenoid plane and the lateral edge of the scapula extending towards the endpoint of the glenoid plane) (Adjusted R2=0.667).Conclusions: Glenopolar angle can provide information about the fracture risk of the glenoid cavity and allows orthopedic surgeons to make quick decisions about the risk in the region. We believe that the study will provide a different perspective on designing different products in industrial designs for shoulder joints, especially in implantations.Yayın Bilinmiyor Close-to-convexity of a class of harmonic mappings defined by a third-order differential inequality(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Yaşar, Elif; Yalçın, Sibel; YAŞAR, ELİF; YALÇIN TOKGÖZ, SİBEL; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Matematik Bölümü; 0000-0003-0176-4961; 0000-0002-0243-8263; AAG-8247-2021; AAE-9745-2020In this paper, we consider a class of normalized harmonic functions in the unit disk satisfying a third-order differential inequality and we investigate several properties of this class such as close-to-convexity, coefficient bounds, growth estimates, sufficient coefficient condition, and convolution. Moreover, as an application, we construct harmonic polynomials involving Gaussian hypergeometric function which belong to the considered class. We also provide examples illustrating graphically with the help of Maple.Yayın Bilinmiyor Validation of Turkish version of newest vital sign scale to assess health literacy(Galenos Publishing House, 2021-04) Çiftçi, Fatih; Demirci, Hakan; Çiftçi, Hilal; Ocakoğlu, Gökhan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Temel Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; HLG-6346-2023Objective: The aim of the study was to check Turkish validation ofthe Newest Vital Sign (NVS) scale.Methods: The participants were composed of the patients whowere registered in a Family Health Center located in Bursa betweenSeptember 2016 and February 2017.

Health literacy is inadequate for less than half of thepeople living in our region.Yayın Bilinmiyor Epidemiology of colorectal cancer in Turkey: A cross-sectional disease registry study (A Turkish Oncology Group trial)(AVES, 2015-03-01) Manavoğlu, Osman; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/İç Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı; FLP-9613-2022; 56554133100Background/Aims: This study aimed to determine the epidemiological characteristics of colorectal cancer in Turkey. Materials and Methods: In this multicenter, prospective, and cross-sectional registry study, data for 968 patients with colorectal cancer from 21 centers in 7 geographic regions were analyzed. Results: Diagnosis was colon cancer in 662 (68.4%) and rectum cancer in 306 (31.6%) patients. In total, 60.9% of patients was male; mean age was 58.9 +/- 12.6 years. Among patients, 15.0% was drinking alcohol, 17.5% was smoking, 1.5% had familial history of polyposis, 15.0% had diabetes mellitus, 1.0% had inflammatory bowel disease. Fruit and vegetable consumption was low (<3 times/week) in 35.5% and red meat consumption was high (>= 3 times/week) in 47.4% of the patients. Median time-to diagnosis was 3.0 months and 4.0 months for patients with colon and rectum cancer, respectively. Mean body mass index was >25 in all group of patients. Distal rectum (61.3%) and sigmoid colon (36.8%) were the most common locations of cancer, for rectum and colon respectively. In total, 85.6% of patients were operated; 25.8% had emergency surgery. Low anterior resection rate was 64.2% in rectum cancer. In majority (89.8%) of the patients with rectum cancer who received preoperative treatment, conventional chemo-radiotherapy regimen was given. pTNM staging at diagnosis showed that stage III and IV patients were in majority (35.9% and 29.7%, respectively). Conclusion: Colon cancer is more frequent than rectum cancer in Turkey. Colorectal cancer patients are diagnosed at later stages. Most of the cases were operated. Interregional differences for risk factors are worthwhile for evaluation in future trials.Öge Bilinmiyor A species of Nilotonia Thor, 1905 (Acari, Hydrachnidia, Anisitsiellidae) new for the Turkish fauna(Scientific and Technological Research Council Turkey, 2008) Boyacı, Yunus Ömer; Özkan, Muhlis; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi; JHK-0887-2023; 7103273174Nilotonia (Manotonia) tegulata (Viets 1951), known previously from Africa and Italy, is new for the Turkish fauna. The morphological features are compared with similar species, and an identification key for subgenera of the genus Nilotonia is given.

Materials and Methods: Seventy ALL survivors, who were between 7 and 17 years of age and had completed therapy ≥2 years, were included. The control group consisted of their healthy siblings. HRQL was assessed by the age-specific KINDLR questionnaire. Results: No significant differences could be found among HRQL scores of ALL survivors with respect to variables such as sex, risk group, and having chronic illness. HRQL scores for physical well-being, emotional well-being, family, and social functioning of the patient and sibling self-reports and parent proxy reports were lower than the expected values for healthy and chronically ill children. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that both ALL survivors and their families need help via psychological counseling programs to improve their HRQL even after completion of therapy. Keywords: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia, Health-related quality of life, KINDLR questionnaireYayın Açık Erişim Isolated bitemporal hemianopsia due to traumatic chiasmal syndrome(Türk Travma ve Acil Cerrahi Derneği, 2016-01) Yazıcı, Bülent; Kıvanç, Sertaç Argun; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Göz Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı; 0000-0001-8889-1933; 0000-0002-0932-6977; AAH-6518-2021; AAA-5384-2020; 7005398015; 47861204900A 20-year-old man presented with complaints of inability to see the outer half of objects and blurred near vision while reading. His complaints began one year ago after a motor vehicle accident that caused cranio-orbital fractures. Ocular examination revealed complete bitemporal hemianopsia and slight exotropia. Central visual acuity was 20/20 in both eyes. Radiologic studies demonstrated fractures in the fronto-ethmoid and sphenoid bones and thinning of the optic chiasm. No hypothalamic-pituitary abnormality was detected. Clinical findings remained unchanged during follow-up. Although rare, blunt head trauma may cause an isolated damage to the chiasmal crossing nerve fibers, resulting in a complete, bitemporal hemianopsia associated with normal visual acuity. Traumatic chismal syndrome should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients presenting with bitemporal hemianopsia.Yayın Sadece Metadata The problem of foundational courses in teacher education(EDAM, 2007-05) Yüsel, Sedat; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Eğitim Bilimleri Bölümü; EFU-5429-2022The necessity of the foundational courses that take place in teaching courses in teacher education programs is a much-debated topic. Some writers argue that these courses are important since they help teachers and teacher candidates understand the dynamics in the process of teaching and learning and assist teachers in thinking extensively about the problems encountered while teaching so as to find rational Solutions to the,problems. On the other hand, some writers claim that there should not be any foundational courses in teacher education programs since teaching can be learned only by practice. Opponents argue that foundational courses cannot help teacher candidates. Since the 1950's, foundational courses have been taught in teacher education programs in Turkey. However, foundational courses were eliminate(] from teacher education programs, except psychology courses, by the Higher Educational Council (HEC) in the process of restructuring educational faculties in 1997. Even though there were not any scientific data supporting this decision, the decision has not been criticized. The HEC decided to bring new arrangements to teacher education programs in 2006. The foundational courses have been added back to teacher education programs with this arrangement. In this Study, after examining the opinions and practices that are for and against the foundational Courses, these courses have been evaluated in the light of the arrangements done by the HEC.Öge Açık Erişim A case of sarcoidosis with diffuse cavitary lesion in the lung(Galenos Publishing House, 2019-07) Turan, Demet; Yıldırım, Binnaz Zeynep; Cansever, Levent; Özgül, Mehmet Akif; Günaydın, Fatma Esra; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Göğüs Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı/Alerji ve İmmünoloji Bölümü; HKV-2265-2023Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous disease of unknown origin, which affects many organs and systems, and is often seen in young adults. The most common organ involved in sarcoidosis is the lung and various radiological features are observed. Bilateral hilar lymph node enlargement is the most common finding, followed by interstitial lung disease. Primer cavitary sarcoidosis is very rare. In this article, we present a case of sarcoidosis diagnosed by mediastinoscopy who had a history of contact with tuberculosis and diffuse cavitary lung lesions and hilar lymphadenopathies on thoracic computed tomography. Sarcoidosis should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of cavitary lesions of lung.Öge Açık Erişim The biodiversity and population fluctuation of plant parasitic and benificial mite species (Acari) in tomato fields of Ankara, Bursa and Yalova provinces(Türkiye Entomoloji Derneği, 2014) Çobanoǧlu, Sultan; Kumral, Nabi Alper; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Ziraat Fakültesi/Bitki Koruma Bölümü; 0000-0001-9442-483X; A-1388-2019; 15846048400A survey was conducted in North Western Region (Bursa - Yalova cities) and central Anatolia (Ankara city) of Turkey, during 2009-2010 to evaluate the mite diversity and population fluctuation on tomato plants. Thirty-four plant parasitic, predatory and neutral mite species were identified belonging to 14 mite families namely Tetranychidae, Eriophyidae, Tenuipalpidae, Bdellidae, Phytoseiidae, Stigmaeidae, Ascidae, Parasitidae, Ameroseiidae, Acaridae, Tydeidae, Iolinidae, Tarsonemidae and Oribatidae. Among these species, the plant parasitic mites, Tetranychus urticae Koch (Tetranychidae), Eotetranychus uncatus Garman and Amphitetranychus viennensis (Zacher), the predators, Pronematus ubiquitus (McG.), Neopronematus neglectus (Kuzn.) (Acari: Iolinidae) and Neoseiulus barkeri Hughes (Acari: Phytoseiidae) and the neutrals, Tyrophagus putrescentiae Sch. (Acari: Acaridae) and Tarsonemus bifurcatus Sch. (Acari: Tarsonemidae) were predominant species and corresponded to more than 87% of the mite specimens collected during the survey. Homeopronematus anconai (Baker) and N. neglectus which species are belong to Iolinidae were found as the first record for Turkey's fauna. Sorenson's similarity index varied 0.40-0.57, indicating a medium similarity among the cities. According to Shannon Wiener index, the biodiversity increasing mite fauna was plant parasitic mites in Ankara and predator mites in Bursa and Yalova. The population density of T. urticae on tomato began to increase in late-May and peaked three times in mid-June, late-July and mid-September in Bursa. In Ankara, the plant parasitic mite emerged in late-July and occured three peaks in mid-August, early September and mid-October.Öge Açık Erişim Effects of aerobic exercise on bone-specific alkaline phosphatase and urinary CTX levels in premenopausal women(Bayçınar Medical Publishing-Bayçınar Tıbbi Yayıncılık, 2013-12) Alp, Alev; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Anabilim Dalı.; ABG-2019-2020; 56256023200Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on bone turnover by urinary cross-linked C-telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX) and serum bone-spesific alkaline phosphatase (BAP) in comparison with a control group. Materials and Methods: 100 premenopausal volunteers from our outpatient unit were randomized into 2 equal groups. The exercise group (n=50) performed the exercise sessions supervised by a physiotherapist for 40 min a day, 5 times a week for a duration of 2 months. The control group (n=50) maintained their sedentary lifestyle for the duration. Urinary CTX and BAP levels in the subjects were measured before and at the end of the intervention. Results: The changes in CTX and BAP from baseline were statistically significant in the exercise group for but not in the control group. When the groups were compared with each other, the exercise group was found to be superior to the control group for the change in CTX. Conclusion: Two months of regular submaximal aerobic exercise decreased bone resorption rate in premenopausal sedentary womenÖge Sadece Metadata The predictors of remission in major depressive disorder(2013) Akkaya, Cengiz; Eker, Salih Saygın; Sarandöl, Aslı; Cangür, Şengül; Kirli, Selçuk; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Psikiyatri Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Biyoistatistik Anabilim Dalı.; EKJ-8427-2022; Q-9477-2019; FVU-6404-2022; JHH-9596-2023; CZU-1387-2022; 14061855100; 36341064200; 14020405100; 8604063700; 14019745700Background: We aimed to determine the predictors of remission in major depressive disorder (MDD) with antidepressant treatment (AT). Methods: The subjects were recruited from the databases of the previous four studies. 178 patients were separated in to two groups at the final visit regarding remission. The patients were analyzed in terms of sociodemographic and clinical features regardless of their AT. Results: The difference in sociodemographic and clinical features was insignificant between the groups. Remitted patients had lower scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS), Montgomery-Asberg Depression Scale, Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale, and the Clinical Global Impression Scale compared to baseline whereas Social Adaptation Self-evaluation Scale (SASS) scores were higher. To evaluate the impact of basal scores of HDRS and SASS on non remission rates, logistic regression analysis was performed. The analysis result was significant (p<0.001). Valid classification rate was 66% for this model. For this model, the scores of HDRS and SASS at visit 1 are significant risk factors for non-remission (p<0.001). As the value of HDRS increases, the risk of non-remission increases 1.095 fold (Odds ratio 95%, confidence interval: 1.045-1.147), whereas as the value of SASS decreases the risk of non-remission increases 1, 076 fold (Odds ratio 95%, confidence interval: 1.042-1.114). For each patient non-remission possibility can be predicted by "p(non remission)=1/[(1+exp (-0, 093xV1HDRS+0, 075xV1SASS)]" equivalent via this model. Conclusion: The findings of the present study suggest that severe level of depression, anxiety and social maladaptation at baseline are more likely to predict remission.Öge Sadece Metadata Learning with peers: An interdisciplinary comparative study of learner interaction and satisfaction on an instructional design course(EDAM, 2013-09) Öncü, Semiral; Özdilek, Zehra; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Fen Eğitimi Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Bilgisayar ve Öğretim Teknolojileri Eğitimi.; 0000-0001-8549-094X; AAH-1616-2021; A-5306-2016; 35339476800; 26656970800The aim of this study is to examine undergraduate students' satisfaction levels through learning with peers. Specifically, students from two departments were brought into a collective group activity to understand whether they experienced different levels of satisfaction by working with peers from a different department. Data gathered from a sample of 47 Science Education (SE) and 72 Computer Education and Instructional Technology (CEIT) students during the fall 2011 semester. Students overall were highly satisfied. Students of the two departments did not significantly differ from each other in terms of satisfaction. That means they equally enjoyed the activity. There were six themes that were identified that cause satisfaction in this interprofessional work: Performing responsibilities, socialization, cohesion, work habits, learning in general, and professional development. The most prominent theme was cohesion, and it emerged out of mostly positive but also negative student opinions. The least prominent was professional development and it was mainly expressed as a positive theme. It is argued that students do not articulate the scope of the study as much as they can. It is also argued that the nature of the assigned task let them consider the social aspects more than the other aspects.Öge Açık Erişim The first record of pseudoscorpions in honeybee hives in Turkey(Scientific Technical Research Council, 2013) Harvey, Mark; Girişgin, Ahmet Onur; Girişgin, Oya; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veterinerlik Fakültesi/Parazitoloji Bölümü.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Karacabey Meslek Yüksekokulu.; 0000-0002-0020-2708; 0000-0001-9896-1093; B-5286-2017; JRY-1676-2023; 16030783600; 57221061095Three pseudoscorpions identified as Neobisium validum were found in a honeybee hive in Bursa Province of Turkey. They were collected from the bottom of the hive but no relationship between the pseudoscorpions and bees was observed. This case is a first report of pseudoscorpions in a honeybee hive from Turkey.Öge Sadece Metadata The effectiveness of embedded teaching through the most-to-least prompting procedure in concept teaching to children with autism within Orff-based music activities(EDAM, 2013) Deniz, Jale; Düzkantar, Ayten; Eren, Bilgehan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/Müzik ve Güzel Sanatlar Bölümü.; JWP-0528-2024; 55795155300The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of embedded teaching through the most-to-least prompting procedure in concept teaching to children with autism in Orff-based music activities. In this research, being one of the single subject research designs, multiple probe design was used. The generalization effect of the research was assessed in the form of a pre-test and post-test, discussing the organization about interpersonal generalization in different environment. The maintenance of learning was checked by means of the observation sessions applied one, two, and four weeks after the practice was completed. The research was conducted with 3 children with autism between the ages of 3-6 in Nova Special Training and Rehabilitation Center in Istanbul. In research process, full probe, daily probe, teaching, observing and generalizing sessions have been organized. All of the sessions were done by one-to-one teaching method. The data of reliability among the observers and of application reliability were collected. According to research results, it was clear that the embedding teaching through the most-to-least prompting in Orff-based music activities is effective to teach concepts to the chilren with autism. It was understood that the maintenance was kept after the training was completed. It was also clear that the concept which was thought is effective in the generalization of different settings, different people and different materials. Additionally, social validity was verified in research to determine the importance of purposes of research, teaching methods to reach these purposes and research results.Öge Açık Erişim Simultaneous detection of six different groups of antimicrobial drugs in porcine oral fluids using a biochip array-based immunoassay(Kafkas Üniversitesi, 2013) Rumbeiha, Wilson K.; Ensley, Steve; Olsen, Chris; Schrunk, Dwayne E.; Oruç, Hasan Hüseyin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Veterinerlik Fakültesi/Farmakoloji ve Toksikoloji Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-5399-2395; AAI-2212-2021; 55944769400The objectives of this study were 1) to determine whether a biochip array-based immunoassay could be used to detect 6 different group antimicrobials in porcine oral fluids collected under experimental conditions; 2) to determine the feasibility of antimicrobial detection in clean versus dirty oral fluid samples; and 3) to determine if the assay could be used to detect chlortetracycline in oral fluids of swine ingesting a routine diet containing chlortetracycline. Biochip array-based immunoassay is currently used for simultaneous detection and quantitation of different group six antimicrobials in milk, urine, meat, honey, and feed. The assay had not been investigated for potential use in oral fluids. Following evaluation of different extraction procedures, a centrifugation method was chosen. Results showed that of the six target drugs, norfloxacin, ceftiofur, florfenicol, streptomycin, tylosin and tetracycline could be detected in both clean and dirty oral fluid samples. However, tetracycline was not well recovered in dirty samples. Chlortetracycline from tetracycline group was detected in all oral fluid samples collected from the field at concentrations ranging from 176.0-698.6 ppb. In conclusion, this assay can detect all target antibacterials from different groups in clean and dirty oral fluid samples with the exception of tetracycline which was not well-recovered from in dirty samples.Öge Açık Erişim A group-decision making and goal programming-based solution approach for the student-project team formation problem(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2019) Çavdur, Fatih; Sağlam, Aslı Sebatlı; Küçük, Merve Köse; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Endüstri Mühendisliği Bölümü; 0000-0001-8054-5606; 0000-0002-9445-6740; 0000-0001-6877-2937; AAG-9471-2021; AAC-2099-2020; AAE-4504-2019; 8419687000; 57191223084; 57191227592In this study, an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and goal programming-based solution approach for the student-project team formation problem is proposed. In the first and second phases of a two-phase goal programming-based approach developed in a recent study of authors, students and advisers are allocated to project teams considering several criteria. The AHP method is used to determine the criteria weights for the goal programming models. Surveys are conducted with students and advisors to determine the criteria weights for each student and advisor. Since the criteria weights are different for different decision makers, a distance-based non-linear (DBNL) mathematical programming model is used to determine a group decision. The proposed approach is implemented on a real-life project-team formation problem. The results are compared with the real-life allocations in terms of the problem criteria considered in the study and it is observed that our approach produces significantly more satisfactory results. Additionally, although it takes a considerable amount of time to perform the allocations in real-life, using the proposed approach, allocations can be performed in a few hours, including the only once-conducted survey time. The presented approach is proposed for a special problem in this study; however, it can be easily adapted to other project-team formation problems.Öge Sadece Metadata A study to determine the norms for the trail making test for the age range of 20-49 in Turkey(Türkiye Sinir ve Ruh Sağlığı Derneği, 2015) Kurt, Murat; Türkeş, Nevin; Can, Handan; Dikeç, Banu Elmastaş; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Nöroloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Psikoloji Bölümü.; JIV-7777-2023; AAH-8501-2021; COC-9498-2022; 35886020700; 55371079500; 36165087700Objective: The main goal of the study is to determine the normative values of Trail Making Test (TMT) for people between 20-49 years of age; to examine the effect of age, education and sex variables over TMT scores and identify the reliability coefficient of the test. Method: The sample of the study consisted of 133 women and 130 men, 261 voluntary and healthy participants in total. The data of the research was collected according to 3x2x2 factorial experimental design; and the participants were distributed to experimental conditions well balanced in terms of the levels of age, education and sex. TMT A and B form, and Beck Depression Scale (BDS) were applied for the assessment. Results: Seven scores were calculated determining for Turkish normative values; 3x2x2 factorial multivariate variance analysis was applied in order to identify the effect of levels of age, education and sex over TMT scores. According to the results of the analyses, it was found that main effect of education was significant, while the main effects of age and sex variables were not (p<.05). The test-retest reliability coefficients of the TMT changed between .71 and .87. Conclusion: This study indicated that especially the TMT B and subtest scores were affected by the education in the range of 20-49 years of age. Additionally, normative values depending on the means of TMT scores for 20-49 age group were obtained in the study; it was shown that TMT was a reliable assessment tool.
