Aim: In this study; we aimed to investigate the BMD values of healthy Turkish women living in Alanya and the region and to compare them with the studies performed in different regions of our country. Methods: The DXA results of 376 patients who met the inclusion criteria from the healthy participants who applied to Alanya Education and Research Hospital in 2017 were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the 376 participants included in the study was 62.47, the mean body mass index (BMI) was 28.62, and the mean vertebra t score was -1, 82 ± 2.34 while the mean hip t score was -0.93 ± 1.02. There was a statistically significant difference between the two cities in the 40-49 and 50-59 age groups. Kastamonu mean BMD was higher. No statistically significant difference was found between the two cities in the 60-69 age group, whereas there was a statistically significant difference between the two cities. In the age groups of 70-79 and 80 years, and in the age group above. The mean values of the Alanya BMD were higher. There was no statistically significant difference between the two cities in both the 40-49 age group and the 80 age group. However, there was a statistically significant difference between the two cities in the 50-59 years, 60-69 years and 70-79 age groups. The mean values of Alanya BMD were higher. Conclusion: regional outcomes and differences are important factors in interpreting BMD values. These differences may be the effect of locally utilizing the sunlight, but may also be influenced by regional nutritional habits. In addition, the differences in DXA devices used for BMD measurement and technical standards should be taken into consideration during measurements.

Baş boyun bölgesi birçok önemli anatomik yapılar içermesi nedeniyle özellik arzetmektedir. Karotis arterleri, juguler ven, kafa sinirleri, intrakraniyal yapılar travmalara karşıtehdit altındadır. Maksillofasiyal bölge ateşli silah yaralanmaları kanama, kozmetik deformite,infraorbital sinir yaralanması ve hava yolu güvenliği problemleri yaratabilmektedir. Bumakalede maksillofasial bölgeye isabet eden ve maksilla ön duvarına saplanıp kalan bir başboyun kurşunlanma vakası sunulmuştur

Purpose: Research and Development (R&D) and innovation activities critically impact an organization's development and competitive advantage. Although all industries have R&D and innovation activities, sectoral applications vary depending on readiness, investment opportunities, and organizational strategies. This study focuses on the automotive, textile, and main metal industries, with the highest export rates in Türkiye. This study aims to analyze R&D and innovation activities for the selected industries and provide practitioners with future insights. Methodology: Six different R&D and innovation indicators, i.e., current expenditure, personnel expenditures, trade investments, number of patent applications and number of R&D personnel, are considered for this study, and the GM (1,1) forecasting model is used to predict 2022-2030. Findings: As a result, although an increase in R&D and innovation activities in the automotive industry is expected, especially for each indicator, these values are limited for textile and main metal. It is realized that especially these two industries need more support. Originality: Within the scope of this study, future insights and suggestions are given under digitalization and technology adoption, encouraging postgraduate studies of employees and higher education - industry collaborations, adopting R&D and innovation as a part of corporate culture, extending R&D and innovation incentives, supporting SMEs in R&D and innovation activities according to sectoral comparisons.
