The Impact of Refugee Crises on Host Labor Markets: The Case of the Syrian Refugee Crisis in Turkey The civil war in Syria has culminated into major refugee crises in its neighboring countries. By the end of 2013 more than half a million people were seeking shelter in cities and refugee camps in Turkey. We analyze how the Syrian refugee influx in Turkey has affected food and housing prices, emp...

We have characterized sequences expressed in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells which are related to the intracisternal A-particle (IAP) genes of mice and Syrian hamsters. Several cDNA clones homologous to Syrian hamster IAP probes have been isolated and used to evaluate the abundance and expression of these retroviruslike sequences. DNA blot analysis with homologous Chinese hamster IAP probes r...

The head of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Health Emergencies Programme expressed alarm at reports of the use of highly toxic chemicals in an attack in the Syrian Arab Republic on 5 April. At least 70 people died and hundreds more were affected in Khan Shaykhun in the governorate of Idleb, according to United Nations Health Cluster partners who were treating patients – many of them women...

Historical sources indicate that the evangelist Luke was born in Syria, died in Greece, and then his body was transferred to Constantinople, and from there to Padua, Italy. To understand whether there is any biological evidence supporting a Syrian origin of the Padua body traditionally attributed to Luke, or a replacement in Greece or Turkey, the mtDNA was extracted from two teeth and its contr...

We have developed a qualitative and quantitative assay system for detecting cells lacking postconfluence inhibition of cell division (contact insensitivity, CS~) in golden Syrian ham ster embryo cells in culture by measuring the number of cells able to form colonies on a lethally irradiated, confluent monolayer of a contact-sensitive established cell line. A subpopulation in normal low-passage ...

Behavioral responses to social odors in Syrian hamsters are regulated by brain structures including the medial amygdala (Me) and bed nucleus of the stria terminalis (BNST). The role of these areas in regulating social behaviors has been previously studied in detail. However, the chemical phenotypes of neurons in these areas have not been well defined. Based on previous literature, we hypothesiz...

OBJECTIVES To examine the most frequent admitted polyclinics, diagnoses, and the costs of Syrian refugee patient in a Turkish university hospital in the metropolitan city of Istanbul, Western part of Turkey.  METHODS Research methodology consist of analyzing outpatient admissions to the Hospital Polyclinics of Faculty of Medicine, Istanbul University, Cerrahpasa, Istanbul, Turkey from January...

This study aimed at identifying the degree of alienation of the students of the Syrian refugee residing in both the refugee camps and cities , and to find out whether there were differences among the study sample's degree of alienation attributed to the variables: achievement, gender, number of alienation years, and the place of residence. To achieve this aim, the researcher applied a 70-item q...
