    Abstract This book investigates recent policies introduced into Turkey which are designed to reduce state activities and open up the country to international investment and trade. This is done in the context of the UNs Millennium Development Goals continuing to stretch into the distant future amid the ongoing instability of the global financial system and economic pressures on the West. The focus is on agriculture and the major effects of a deliberate restructuring of an agrarian economy as seen through the lens of the peasant, the village and poverty. This unique socioeconomic review of Turkey, which is generally thought to be a contemporary success story of the neo-liberal paradigm, argues for a new understanding of the destructive effects of global capitalism. Some issues addressed are the effects on Turkeys countryside as its agricultural sector has been catapulted onto the world market, how farming has changed and what this has meant for small-scale enterprises. Also discussed is how rural communities have fared, capital relations have been transformed in the process and the impact this has had on the nations poor. Finally, the ways in which neo-liberalism has guided governments response to the new social needs is discussed along with how Turkeys experience parallels similar developments worldwide. This serves as a window to the reality of development at a time when the philosophy for growth underpinning development is facing an increasingly profound crisis of confidence worldwide

    Abstract The cytologic diagnosis of acinic cell carcinoma (ACC) can be challenging due to its polymorphous appearance and sharing cytomorphologic characteristics with other benign and malignant neoplasms as well as non-neoplastic diseases, even though various histomorphological aspects of ACC have been documented. We presented a 39-year-old female patient applied with right pre-auricular parotid swelling spreading infra-auricular region which was gradually increased in size for 3 months. Ultrasonographic examination revealed hypoechoic well-circumscribed mass with 17 × 22 × 29 mm size. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed intra-parotid solid lesion with cystic areas, slightly hypointense on T1 and hyperintense on T2 weighted images. The mass was pushing the retromandibular vein medially, still lateral to it in the caudal images, but in dumbbell-shape spreading through parapharyngeal space in superiorly cranial images. Fine-needle aspiration cytology was also performed with guidance of ultrasonography. The cytological examination of the lesion was characterized by the predominance of heterogeneous lymphoid cells, clusters of epithelial cells with a variety of cytologic appearances, including granular, transparent, vacuolated, and oncocytic, and the presence of numerous naked nuclei with a protein-like foamy background. Due to intense lymphocytic inflammation, it was considered as benign primary parotid tumor such as Warthin's tumor. The excision material was examined histopathologically. Immunohistochemical analysis showed that this carcinoma was positive for DOG1, SOX10, cytokeratin 7 and negative for mammaglobin. This salivary gland tumor was reported as a rare variant of ACC with lymphoid-rich stroma. To improve the diagnostic accuracy, various morphological aspects of ACC should be considered in the pathological practice.

    Abstract Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) is one of the high-economic soft fruit crops, which plays an important role in farmers’ incomes in Turkey. In a disease survey conducted in 2018 and 2019 growing seasons, typical disease symptoms resembling fire blight caused by Erwinia amylovora were observed in Yozgat and Mersin province of Turkey. The diseased strawberry plants showed intense black to brown necrotic areas in the midribs and veins on the leaf area and the attached stems. Twelve strains of E. amylovora were isolated from naturally infected strawberry plants on the basis of disease symptoms. The strains were initially characterized based on physiological, biochemical characters, and pathogenicity tests and identified using MALDI TOF MS analyses. All strains were identified as E. amylovora based on their protein fingerprint patterns obtained by the MALDI TOF MS system. The identification of representative strains was further confirmed by PCR amplification of a specific region by using taxon-specific primers, sequencing 16S rDNA and 3 housekeeping genes (gapA, mdh and recA). Obtained partial nucleotide sequences of each gene were submitted to BLAST analysis and strains shared 100% (for gapA), 99.45% (for mdh) and 100% (for recA) nucleotide identity with each other and sequence of complete genomes of E. amylovora strains available in GenBank. Constructed phylogenetic trees with concatenated sequences of gapA, mdh and recA genes allowed distinctly to separate strawberry E. amylovora strains from other Erwinia species. Representative bacterial strains were further tested for copper and streptomycin sensitivity. None of the strains grown on the nutrient medium containing 2.56 mM copper sulphate and 5 ppm streptomycin sulphate indicated that strawberry isolates are sensitive to copper and streptomycin for now. This study is the first report of a natural outbreak of bacterial fire blight disease caused by E. amylovora on strawberries in Turkey. Since disease is transmitted by bees, the presence of the pathogen may seriously influence local strawberry production in the future.

    Abstract Pectobacterium species are one of the main bacterial agents of soft rot and blackleg diseases that cause economic damage to potato crops. Farmers around the world suffer losses from both diseases and use different strategies to control. In this study, local potato genotypes were evaluated for disease severity of soft rot and blackleg. We discovered putative genotypes with low disease severity for both diseases. In the tuber experiment, the lowest soft rot was determined for genotype 18 with 34% disease severity. The highest soft rot was found in the cultivars Natasha, Laperla and Sultanecem. In the plant experiment, the lowest lesion length was measured in the cultivars Sultannur, Orchestra and Marabel. The 33% disease severity for these cultivars was also calculated for genotypes 18 and 32. With regard to soft rot and blackleg of potato, this is the first study to determine disease severity of Turkish local potato genotypes.

    Abstract Background: This study aims to investigate the effect of recent influenza and pneumococcal vaccines' administration on the development of COVID-19 infection in kidney transplant recipients during the pandemic.
    Methods: The effect of influenza and pneumococcal vaccines on the clinical course of the disease in COVID-positive (COVID group, n: 105) and COVID-negative (control group, n: 127) recipients has been examined. The control group included patients with negative rRT-PCR test results. At the time of the study, no patient was vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine. The patients' influenza and/or pneumococcal vaccination rates in 2019 and 2020 were determined. In 2019 and 2020, 32 and 33 people in the COVID-positive group and 61 and 54 people in the COVID-negative group had received influenza and/or pneumococcal vaccines, respectively. The median study follow-up times of the COVID-negative and COVID-positive groups were 13.04 and 8.31 months, respectively.
    Results: Compared with the COVID-negative group, the patients in the COVID-positive group were younger and had a longer post-transplant time. In addition, the rate of transplantation from a living donor and the rate of COVID positivity in family members were also higher. The influenza vaccination rates in the COVID negative group were significantly higher than the COVID-positive group in 2020 (23.8% vs 37%, p = 0.031). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of COVID-19 in family members and lack of pneumococcal vaccination in 2020 increased the risk of being positive for COVID-19. There was no significant difference in the hospitalization rates, the need for dialysis and intensive care, the hospital stay, and the graft dysfunction in the COVID-positive patients with and without influenza and pneumococcal vaccines.
    Conclusion: The observations made throughout this study suggest that influenza and pneumococcal vaccination in transplant patients may reduce the risk of COVID-19 disease and provide additional benefits during the pandemic period.
