    Relations between Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention Behaviour of Female Students at a School of Health and their Healthy Life Style
    (Asian Pacific Organization Cancer Prevention, 2010) Malak, Arzu Tuna; Yilmaz, Derya; Tuna, Asli; Babacan Gümüş, Aysun; Turgay, Ayse San
    Regular breast self-examination (BSE) and pap-smear tests are the two of the positive heath behaviors for improving, promoting and protecting the health of adolescent girls. The present quasi-experimental research was carried out with the purpose of analyzing the relations between breast and cervical cancer prevention behavior of female students at a School of Health and their health lifestyle. The research was conducted at Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University School of Health between November 2008 and February 2009. A total of 77 female students attending the first and second grades were included in the sample. Education pertinent to the matter was provided and evaluation was made three months later. A knowledge evaluation form for breast and gynecological examination, the Healthy Life-Style Behavior Scale (HPLP), was used in data collection. Number percentages, the McNemar Bowker test, the t test and the Mann Whitney U test were used in the evaluation. Despite the information they had received, not all of the students performed regular breast self-examination (BSE) prior to the education. For 24.7% (n=19) the reason for not ding regular BSE was their having no symptoms and for 29.9% (n=23) it was due to thinking that they would not have breast cancer. The reason for not having pap smear test was a virgin status. Three months after the education, knowledge level scores of the students increased approximately three and a half times (from 23.8 +/- 9.8) to 81.2 +/- 8.0). The rate of having regular BSE was 88.3% after three months, however; there was no pap smear test probably due to the fact that it was a taboo. When the rate of having regular BSE three months after the education and HLPL scores were compared, the scores of those having it regularly and the scores of those not having it regularly were found to be close and no statistically significant difference was detected (p > 0.05). In conclusion, consultancy service units should be established to comprehend the barriers perceived by adolescent girls who do not have regular health screening, to make appropriate strategic planning in order to eradicate the hindrances in Muslim societies and to enhance the motivation of youth with continuous education.

    Some Thoughts on the Troy Type Owl-Headed Idols of Western Anatolia
    (Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2016) Yilmaz, Derya
    The subject of this study is a marble idol recovered at the Maydos Kilisetepe mound located near the town of Eceabat in the province of epsilon anakkale in Turkey. The idol belongs to a type known as a Troy type, specifically Type 2C of Blegen's typology. It is also known as an owlheaded idol, as proposed by Schliemann. The distribution maps of these idols show that they are widely found in western Anatolia. There are no identical examples from local settlement sites; on the contrary they all vary. The contexts of the idols, which in the majority of cases come from domestic contexts, are examined in greater detail to reach a better understanding of their use. From this we conclude that the idols were employed within a domestic cult environment. The chronology of the owl-headed idols is also considered; they appear in the middle to late Early Bronze Age but continued to be used at the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age. The idols reflect the beliefs of the people and probably symbolise the mother-goddess who had the role of protecting the household. Owlfaced goddess representations also figure on pottery and stelae of the third millennium BC in Mesopotamia, Syria and the western Mediterranean as far west as the Iberian Peninsula. The artefacts considered in this article suggest that wide-ranging contacts existed in a geographical area encompassing Mesopotamia and the Mediterranean.
