    Cellular Biomarkers in Mytilus galloprovincialis L. (Mediterranean Mussels) from Izmir Bay (Turkey)
    Katalay, S; Ayhan, MM; Guler, C; Aldag, C; Kilic, T; Yavasoglu, NUK
    In this study, cellular biomarkers and heavy metal concentration in the Mytilus galloprovincialis L. (Mediterranean mussels) collected from eight sites of Izmir Bay (Turkey) were determined to reveal water pollution for the first time in these stations. Results show that heavy metals (As, Cu, Hg, Zn, Cd, Sn, Pb) have been specified in mussels' tissues collected from all stations. According to GST, SOD, CAT activities, and TBARS contents, mussels in the outer bay have exposed more oxidative stress than the ones in the inner bay. Digestive gland tissues of them were showed more inhibition at AChE levels than gills. Also, abnormal nucleus rates and micronucleus frequencies (MN) were found to be higher in the inner bay than in the outer bay. This study showed that heavy metal pollution in different levels is an environmental issue on the Izmir Bay. Especially the coastal regions of the bay have been extremely affected by anthropogenic effects due to growing population.

    Examining the Mental Toughness Levels of Young Football Players
    Kurtay, M; Kilic, T
    Following the screening model 431 players, who were playing at the development leagues selected for this study. To collect the data one-on-one interviews from the participant football players were taken. The personal information form and the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ) were used as research tools. As a result, there was a statistically significant difference concerning the control sub-dimension of the mental toughness for the league and championship experience variables was evidenced. Following the club variable, a statistically significant difference between the general mean scores of the mental toughness and control/ continuity sub-dimensions of mental toughness was found. As per the position variable, no significant difference was observed in mental toughness levels.
