    English Language Testing and Evaluation Course in English Language Teacher Education Programs in Turkiye: Who, What, and How?
    (2023) Sahin, Sevgi; Hatipoglu, Ciler
    This study investigates the current state of a language testing course taught in Foreign Language Education Departments in Turkiye. It examines who teaches the ELTEC, how course content is determined, and which topics and textbooks are covered. The participants of the study included 21 ELTEC instructors from 13 universities. Semi-structured interviews and documentation were utilized to collect the data. Adopting a mixed-methods research design, the researchers collected qualitative data and employed a rigorous systematic content analysis. Then they quantized the content analysis results to provide descriptive findings. The results reveal that teacher educators often use a textbook-based approach to create the ELTEC content; therefore, it falls behind the recent developments in LTA. The content coverage is heavily summative assessment-oriented with little or no focus on formative assessment and giving feedback. It is suggested that the ELTEC instructors and curriculum developers make qualitative and quantitative changes to the ELTEC to improve the Language Assessment Literacy of future EFL teachers by means of a situated-LTA training approach.

    (2016) Balcan, Baran; Simsek, Ergun; Ugurlu, Aylin O.; Demiralay, Ebru; Sahin, Sevgi; 0000-0003-3598-3986; 26849007; A-4721-2018; AAA-2925-2020
    Sirolimus is a mammalian target of the rapamycin, a protein kinase, which is responsible for inhibition of T cell and B cell proliferation. Sirolimus has side effects on lugs, and may cause cryptogenic organizing pneumonia, diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, lymphocytic pneumonitis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, desquamative interstitial pneumonia, and pulmonary alveolar proteinosis. Diagnosis is based on the combination of clinical, radiological, histological, and pathological investigation. We report a case of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage in a 33-year-old, female renal transplant recipient. After discontinuation of sirolimus, radiological images and clinical condition of the patient got better. We also planned steroid therapy for 6 months by tapering the dosage slowly. After steroid therapy, full recovery of pulmonary functions achieved, and the patient is observed in our outpatient clinic with lack of any pulmonary symptoms.

    Wegener Granulomatosis Complicated by Brain Abscess Caused by Nocardia spp.
    (2016) Sahin, Sevgi; Balcan, Baran; Kiziltas, Safak; Aydin, Mehtap; Y-1366-2018; A-4721-2018
    Wegener granulomatosis is a multisystemic disease associated with high mortality rate and characterized by necrotizing granulomatous vasculitis predominantly in the respiratory tract and kidneys. Presence of kidney failure at the time of diagnosis describes a poor prognostic marker. We presented a Wegener granulomatosis case complicated with brain abscess caused by Nocardia.
