Analysing the Relationship between Critical Thinking Skills and Problem Behaviours of Children at Social Risk through Visual Arts Education
(2017) Buyurgan, Serap; Demirel, Irfan Nihan
In this study, it is aimed to analyze the relationship between critical thinking skills and problem behaviours of children at social risk through visual arts education. In this context, Mixed method including both quantitative and qualitative dimension was used. Convergent parallel design was used to structure the study. In dimension quantitative of research, one group pre-test-post-test model as one of the pre-experimental models was used by applying the retention test. In the scope of the qualitative dimension, holistic single case design was used as a design of case study. The study was carried out on a group of 54 people (27 females, 27 males) who are identified to be at risk. Quantitative data were collected using the Art Criticism Target Behaviour Scale (ACTBS) that consisted of twenty questions and developed by the researchers. Qualitative data were collected by in-class activities, self-assessment form and performance task developed in two phases including both children's drawing and critical dimension. According to the results; as critical thinking skills develop, the students follow a more sensitive and inquisitive development of behaviours, their prejudices decrease, they gain a positive point of view to establish cause-effect relationship, they develop the ability to control negative behaviours, so their consciousness and awareness increase regarding family, environmental and social fact. As a result, it is recommended that visual arts education should be used effectively in relation to other disciplines in the teaching-learning process.

Classical Style as the Manifestation of Being Exclusive to the Elite Taste in the Ottoman Music
(2017) Ozturk, Okan Murat
When cultivation and enculturation according to the palace etiquette is taken as a criterion, it is possible to subject the Ottoman society to a two-layered social stratification in the form of those who have this decency (elites) and those who do not (commons). Whereas both musics specific for the elite and public tastes, they present a common structure in terms of four basic elements [tone/fret, tune/melodic motive, makam (melodic mode) and usul (rhythmic mode)] that shape music. Within this common structure, it can be seen that the distinctions between the music of the two strata are based on the style. At this point, the question of how the music produced and performed especially for the elite taste differs in terms of style gains importance. Various people, groups and circles belonging to the elite stratum, particularly the sultan and the dynasty, have become the main patrons of all the arts and sciences in the Ottoman world. In this article, it is emphasized that the musical works composed for the elite taste become special and privileged through the stylistic difference. This fact is considered here as a fundamental factor with the aim of analyzing the processes of canonization and classicization in terms of the development of a peculiar musical repertoire and style. One of the basic expectations of the Ottoman elite's patronage of the art of music has been to provide for the development of a subtle classical style that reflects their own musical taste. This situation clearly reveals its connection with sociological issues such as status, elite identity and taste culture.
The Clinicopathological and Prognostic Significance of CD24, CD44, CD133, ALDH1 Expressions in Invasive Ductal Carcinoma of The Breast CD44/CD24 Expression in Breast Cancer
(2015) Kapucuoglu, Nilgun; Bozkurt, Kemal Kursat; Baspinar, Sirin; Kocer, Murat; Eroglu, Hasan Erol; Akdeniz, Rasit; Akcil, Mehtap; 26298632
Background: Recently, there are several studies about cancer stem cells (CSC), indicating that they are the cells that initiate the tumor, provide progression, metastasis and responsible for the aggressive tumor behavior. Materials and methods: The purpose of this study is to investigate the expressions of CD24, CD44, their different combinations, ALDH1 and CD133 in invasive ductal carcinoma. Their relationships with clinicopathologic parameters, such as tumor grade, lymphovascular invasion, tumor size, axillary lymph node involvement, stage, hormone receptors, HER2 expression, basal like tumors, triple negative status and prognosis were also investigated. Tissue microarray method was used to investigate immunohistochemical CD24, CD44, ALDH1 and CD133 expressions in 105 invasive ductal carcinoma cases. Results: CD 133 expression was significantly associated with tumor size (p = 0.023) and stage (p = 0.009). CD133 expression was decreased in tumors with larger tumor size, higher stage and lymphovascular invasion. CD133 expression was positively correlated with CD44 (r = 0.212, p = 0.032) and CD44(+)/CD24(+) (r = 0.202, p = 0.040) expressions. CD44, CD24 and ALDH1 expressions showed no significant relationship and correlation with clinicopathologic features. There was a significant relationship (p = 0.048) between CD44(+)/CD24(-/low) phenotype and basal like tumors. EGFR expression was positively correlated with CD44(+)/CD24(-/low) phenotype (r = 0.211, p = 0.036). Conclusions: Basal like tumors are enriched for CSCs with CD44(+)/CD24(-/low) phenotype. CD133 can detect a different population of CSC in breast carcinoma. (C) 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.
A comparison of the cognitive actions of designers in geometry-based and parametric design environments
(2020) Tunger, Cetin; Pektas, Sule Tasli; 0000-0003-0596-6405; B-9453-2008
Purpose - This paper aims to compare designers' cognitive behaviors in geometry-based modeling environments (GMEs) and parametric design environments (PDEs). Design/methodology/approach - This study used Rhinoceros as the geometric and Grasshopper as the parametric design tool in an experimental setting. Designers' cognitive behaviors were investigated by using the retrospective protocol analysis method with a content-oriented approach. Findings - The results indicated that the participants performed more cognitive actions per minute in the PDE because of the extra algorithmic space that such environments include. On the other hand, the students viewed their designs more and focused more on product user relation in the geometric modeling environment. While the students followed a top-down process and produced less number of topologically different design alternatives with the parametric design tool, they had more goal setting activities and higher number of alternative designs in the geometric modeling environment. Originality/value - This study indicates that cognitive behaviors of designers in GMEs and PDF-s differ significantly and these differences entail further attention from researchers and educators.
An Early Christian Martyrion and Opus Sectile Pavement from Bathonea
(2023) Sazak, Batuhan; Aydingun, Sengul; Aydingun, Haldun; 0000-0002-0309-2348; F-5144-2018
Archaeological excavations started in 2009 at the ancient harbour settlement of Bathonea on the Firuzkoy Peninsula in the Kucukcekmece Lake Basin on the western side of Istanbul. The excavations uncovered harbours, roads, squares, water structures, military, civil and religious buildings dating between the century BC and the XIth century AD. In the area coded as Area 8, surrounded by the remains of a fortress, building with a square exterior and octagonal interior plan, a domed structure and a crypt is thought to martyrion due to its characteristics. During the excavations carried out in this building, a geometrical floor slab in opus sectile technique was unearthed. In addition, mosaic pavements were recovered from the dome, arches, vaults and walls of the building. The tesserae, which appear to have been embedded in a thick plaster, are made of natural stones such as green, blue, yellow, red, white, marble, glass and tiles, as well as many gold and silver gilded ones. In this paper, the fragments of the geometric opus sectile floor tile, some of which were
The effect of kefir consumption on the lipid profile for individuals with normal and dyslipidemic properties: a randomized controlled trial
(2022) Yilmaz, Ilkay; Arslan, Bahattin; 0000-0001-5938-3112
Objective This research was conducted as a prospective, self-controlled, eight-week clinical trial to investigate the effect of kefir consumption on the lipid profile of individuals with normal and dyslipidemic properties. Methods Kefir microorganisms given to volunteer subjects were determined using classical microbial count methods and qReal-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction. The study was carried out with 23 volunteer hospital health personnel between the ages of 20 and 55 who met the research criteria and did not have any health problems. The volunteers regularly consumed kefir on an empty stomach for four weeks. In the last stage, the eight-week study was completed by making blood and anthropometric measurements of the subjects, who continued to be studied without kefir consumption for four more weeks Results Considering the changes in the serum lipid profiles of 13 individuals with dyslipidemic symptoms during the 4-week period they consumed kefir, Total Cholesterol values decreased by 9.15% compared to initial values, LDL-Cholesterol values decreased by 10.64%, HDL-Cholesterol values decreased by 6.9%, and triglyceride values decreased by 2.46%. The changes in the serum lipid profiles of 13 individuals with dyslipidemic findings at the end of an eight-week study were a 5.71% decrease in total cholesterol values (p<0.018) considered statistically significant, as well as a 5.31% decrease in LDL-Cholesterol values (p<0.021); the HDL-Cholesterol results were found to be significant with an 8.58% decrease in the values (p<0.035) and insignificant with a 17.21% increase in the triglyceride values (p<0.926). We concluded that regular kefir consumption was effective in both women and men in lowering total cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol from blood lipid profiles, especially in individuals with dyslipidemic symptoms, while this effect was not observed in normal individuals. Conclusion Kefir can positively affect the total cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol blood parameters of dyslipidemic individuals with high serum lipid values.
Emergency Remote Teaching of Technical Drawing During the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2022) Kentel, Aysu Sagun
Hybrid teaching, which combines face-to-face and online teaching, was widely adopted in higher education during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially in courses where implementation, experimentation, and practice are core activities. This paper presents observations of teaching effectiveness of a hybrid teaching framework designed within emergency remote teaching (ERT) in a technical drawing course during the pandemic. The objectives of the study are to analyse the teaching effectiveness of the designed framework and to understand its benefits and challenges for improvement of ERT of practice-based courses. Teaching effectiveness is analysed based on students' feedback, students' participation, analysis of students' grades, and instructors' observations. The findings revealed that students' adaption and participation was high and there was a positive correlation between in-class practice and individual learning processes. Most students stated that some of the online teaching activities (e.g. feedback, class notes, answer keys) can be integrated in face-to-face teaching in the future.
Evaluation of Interior Architecture Education Programmes in Terms of the Multidisciplinary Approach
(2021) Ozdamar, Betul Bilge; Ozdamar, Murat; 1302-597X
Purpose: Interior architecture is based on theoretical, practical, and practice-based knowledge associated with other design disciplines that form a multidisciplinary framework. The aim of this study is to evaluate the art, science, and technical competencies that form the basis of knowledge and skills for the students within interior architecture education in Turkey. The other discussion is to what extent the courses provided during education meet the basic learning outcomes and provide for the professionals as part of the multidisciplinary study. Research Methods: Courses included in educational programs are categorised under 'theoretical/theoretic', 'artistic/aesthetic', and 'technical/practical', and are taken as a basis in the study, and the ratios and quantitative response values are determined. Besides, the joint readings of the subject are obtained by the interviews conducted with professionals. Findings: In the research, the numerical data of the courses related to art and aesthetic values, and the courses aiming at the application by transferring technical knowledge are obtained. The theoretical course workload yielded higher values. For findings related to the basic competencies acquired by the professional interior architects, there is the problem with 'technical expression' and 'experience in practice' within education. Implications for Research and Practice: The discussion of the standardisation through the educational programs should be avoided with a flexible approach. The consistency will be ensured through training practices and collaborations aimed at professional practices. In the future, collaborations for professionalism and studies in education and practice will play a supporting role after the graduation of students. (C) 2021 Ani Publishing Ltd. All rights reserved
Experiential Learning in Basic Design Studio: Body, Space and the Design Process
(2021) Caner Yuksel, Cagla; Dinc Uyaroglu, Ilkay; 0000-0001-6602-0205
Basic Design is the beginning of design course series in architectural education which initiates architecture students to both architectural education and the profession. First-year design curricula have generally common goals of students' acquisitions about design knowledge, skill and competence; however, ways of teaching may vary. Here, we discuss our approach to teaching basic design during the second semester focusing on a particular phase of the curriculum. The aim of the article is to evaluate our teaching method, which is based on Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory and targets at developing students' comprehension and internalisation of body and space relations. Experiential Learning Theory underscores a four-stage learning cycle: concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation and active experimentation. Referring to this cycle, we prioritised real-life experiences to encourage students to explore various ways, modes and stages of designing. The cycle begins with lived experiences of body movements and space through 'contact improvisation' which simultaneously involves discovering movements of one's body in relation to other bodies and space using basics of sharing improvised touch and movement consciousness. While practising contact improvisation in groups, students reflect on their experiences through sketches, photographs and videos. Based on their reflections, they produce three-dimensional abstractions, which later transform into spatial designs. By the end, we state that these experimental exercises positively contribute to teaching/learning 'body, scale and space' within the basic design curriculum and question how future studies can be articulated to enhance design learning.

The Impacts of Friendship, Advice and Negative Ties on Intention To Leave: The Case of Nurses in A Special Branch Hospital
(2021) Sozen, Cenk; Samanci, Simge; Tokmak, Ismail; Turgut, Hakan; Basim, Nejat; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0080-5285; GZA-5645-2022
OBJECTIVES The high turnover rate of nurses has been a matter of debate among scholars. Nurses' social interaction patterns and the social structure they are situated within may provide clues about possible causes of their high turnover intentions. This study aims to investigate the possible effects of negative and positive ties on the intention of turnover among nurses. DESIGN & SETTING A hybrid research methodology was used. Social network analysis was used to reveal the positions of the nurses (n = 126) in the positive and negative networks. A statistical model was formed with varying types of centrality measures, intragroup conflict, and intention to leave variables. The data was collected from all the nurses working in a special branch hospital. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION The findings of the study clearly indicate that negative interactions directly and indirectly affect the intention to leave, and the nurses demand professional support from their colleagues. The findings also show the existence of a fragmented social structure among nurses, which suggests the increased importance of brokerage roles. Managers should closely monitor the negative interactions among nurses, and they need to use conflict management techniques frequently to reduce hostile relations in the business environment. Managers should especially seek ways to increase altruistic tendencies among colleagues because nurses demand professional support ties more than friendship relations.
Interior Design Approach As Part of Passive Fire Safety Measures - Evaluation of the Re-Used Historical Bandabuliya Building Evacuation System
(2019) Bilge, Betul
The risks that emerge during an emergency and disasters as well as the damages caused by such risks adversely affect human lives, the buildings they live in and the interiors of such buildings. Emergency and disaster management system is a holistic process. Within this process, the Interior Architects' command in the flow of management system is significant in terms of being acquainted with when to step in and at what point of the system flow to play a part. The risks that are revealed as a result of management activities and the requirements produced afterwards designate the necessity for taking and implementing measures beforehand. At this point, how important the indoor arrangements and planning are in terms of loss of lives and safety during and after an incident rises distinctively to the surface, apart from the structural arrangements intended for prevention and mitigation. The system built should demonstrate not attenuating but strengthening and supporting approaches in terms of a secure design. A safe architecture that has been established in line with legal requirements and regulations is an integral part of a system that cannot be abstracted from interior space. In the study, Interior Space Design Approaches as Part of "Passive Safety Measures"which area part of the emergency management system have been characterised. The system setup discussed pursuant to fire threat has identified the fundamental approach criteria in terms of a secure indoor evacuation. The purposed design system relation has been assessed on the historical Famagusta- Bandabuliya Building that has been refunctioned.
Investigation of the changes in volatile composition and amino acid profile of a gala-dinner dish by GC-Ms and LC-MS/MS analyses
(2021) Tabak, Tolgahan; Yilmaz, Ilkay; Tekiner, Ismail Hakki; 0000-0001-5938-3112; AGG-0511-2022
This study aimed to investigate the changes in volatile composition and amino acid profile of a dish "duck breast, beetroot mille-feuille" prepared in the Turkey Gala Dinner of an international gastronomy association. The ingredients collected from bazaars and chain markets were prepared and processed according to the original recipe. In raw ingredients and cooked products (P1, P2, and P3), volatile organic compounds were semiquantitatively by GC-MS and amino acids quantitively by LC-MS/MS. The volatile composition and amino acid profile between P1, P2, and P3 products were tested with one-way ANOVA using SPSS version 20.0. In the final product, the dominant volatiles was found to be oily, waxy with lard and tallow notes (oleic acid), floral (squalene), and green-floral and citrus-floral (9-octadecenamide). In contrast, the dominant amino acid profile exhibited bitter-sweet and bitter-salty-sour tastes. The statistical test showed that the volatile composition among the product groups was not interrelated (p = 0.613412 0.05), whereas the amino acid profile was related (p = 0.067352 < 0.10). Overall, our study revealed that the desirable taste of the Gala-dinner dish "duck breast, beetroot mille-feuille" was formed by the co-existence of some dominant volatiles belonging to the fatty acid, triterpenoid, and fatty amide groups and some predominant amino acids, including valine, glutamic acid, aspartic acid, leucine, and lysine, as well as depending on the preparation and cooking conditions.
THE MAKING OF THE COMMERCIAL CENTER IN TIRE (14TH-16TH CENTURIES) (1)
(2015) Yuksel, Cagla Caner
Today Tire is one of the administrative districts under the city of Izmir Located southeast of Izmir, it is situated on the southern edge of the Kucuk Menderes Plain and the northern fringe of the Gume Mountains (Figure 1). It is surrounded by the neighboring administrative districts of Bayindir to the north about 18 km away, Odemis to the northeast and east about 35 km away, and Selcuk to the west about 40 km away (Figure 2). The town is renowned for its lively traditional markets, particularly open air bazaars held once a week. Rich both in food products and in traditional handcrafts, these markets are still significant nodes of attraction in the region (2). This article reveals how the markets of Tire came on the scene back in the 14th 16th centuries. It sheds light on the making of the town's commercial center in the given periods that Correspond to two distinctive, yet consecutive eras of first the Aydmid Principality and next the Ottoman rule.

(2021) Gökmen, Yunus; Turen, Ufuk; Erdem, Haluk; Tokmak, İsmail; 0000-0002-0080-5285; 32782051; AAS-6901-2021; L-8769-2014
Objectives: National interpersonal distance preference is considered a cultural characteristic. Interpersonal distance is critical for the spread dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19's spread trend shows various characteristics in different countries. We believe that 1 of the factors influencing this variation could be national interpersonal distance preference. Methods: We used regression analysis based on data of national interpersonal distance preferences (social, personal, and intimate) presented by Sorokowska et al. and COVID-19 rate of spread data for 40 different countries that were calculated using Our World in Data's data. Results: National interpersonal distance preferences, with its 3 dimensions, significantly influence the rate of spread of COVID-19 in countries. Conclusion: Understanding the relation between national interpersonal distance preference and spread of COVID-19 might be very useful information in decision-making processes of individuals, societies, and governments to develop culturally well-suited counter-pandemic policies, strategies, and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic or any epidemic or pandemic threats in the future, instead of standard fit-to-all strategies.

Novel Theory Leads To The Classical Outcome For The Precession of The Perihelion of A Planet Due To Gravity
(2014) Yarman, Tolga; Kholmetskii, Alexander; Arik, Metin; Yarman, Ozan; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9002-3326; A-3421-2016
We offer a novel method which lets us derive the same classical result for the precession of the perihelion of a planet due to the gravitational effects of the host star. The theoretical approach suggested earlier by the first author is erected upon just the energy conservation law, which consequently yields the weak equivalence principle. The precession outcome is exactly the same as that formulated by the general theory of relativity (GTR) for Mercurial orbit eccentricities, but the methodology used is totally different. In our approach, there is no need to make any categorical distinction between luminal and subluminal matter, since, as we have previously demonstrated, our theory of gravity is fully compatible with the foundations of quantum mechanics. Our approach can immediately be generalized to the many-body problem, which is otherwise practically impossible within the framework of GTR. Our approach thus leads to a unified description of the microworld and macroworld physics. (C) 2014 Physics Essays Publication.
An Overview of Middle Eastern Museology through Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies with a Focus on Jordan
(2021) Guneroz, Ceren; Karaoz, Billur Tekkok
The Arabian Gulf has gained international attention in museum studies due to the number of new museums with cultural policies that have opened within the last decade. In particular, there have been developments in the Gulf countries such as Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, and Qatar, and in the center of the Middle East such as Jordan. This study highlights Jordanian museums that seek to show a unity of national culture with contents similar to Western museums and examines cultural heritage studies in Jordan in terms of both historical and contemporary museum approaches. In Jordan, cultural heritage studies evolved within a system of historical development and practices. This research compares traditional and contemporary Jordanian museums in line with their histories, mission, vision, and approaches to museology. Archeology museums, university museums, a children's museum, and the Jordan National Museum are evaluated, and a general framework is created for museology in the Middle East. It is pointed out that the increase in the number and variety of museums since the 1990s is a positive development, but at the same time, museums are struggling with financial difficulties and a lack of qualified staff. Moreover, common problems affecting museology in Jordan include a lack of educational units in museums other than a few major museums in the country, need for the use of modern technology, lack of cooperative studies, lack of complementary activities such as conferences and seminars, difficulty of competition with other organizations in the entertainment industry, lack of promotional materials, and insufficient public opinion in the fields of archeology and cultural heritage.
Parametric Design as A Creation Tool for The Memory Space
(2021) Yilmaz, Meltem; Mendilcioglu, Riza Fatih
Purpose This study theoretically discusses the role of parametric design in memory-space design in contemporary architecture. Subsequently, it aims to strengthen the discussion by examining three structures with different interpretations of parametric design: namely, the Abu Dhabi Louvre Museum in the UAE with its attempt to create social and cultural memory; the Yinchuan Museum in China, which has weak ties with its past due to political reasons, trying to re-create its ancient culture with its understanding of contemporary culture; and Istanbul City Museum, which uses parametric design to present the layered structure of its local and cultural memory, are the exemplary architectural structures considered. The three structures' treatment of parametric design, their differentiations of parametric-based form creation methods, and their different ways of constructing cultural memory and space relationship through parametric methods constitutes the purpose of the research. Design/Methodology/Approach In the study, descriptive scanning method was followed, and an interview was conducted with Alper Derinbogaz, the architect of the Istanbul City Museum. Findings The findings of this study are indicated as the use of information as a source of form in creating societies' cultural memories, the opportunities for cultural and environmental adaptation, and the flexible understanding of design provided by parametric design. These were deduced in all three examples where non-Euclidian and topological forms strengthen the monumentality of the museum structures. Research Limitations/Implications It is the fact that the parametric design approach is just developing and the number of museums that have social and cultural importance in contemporary architecture may be seen as determine the limit of this study. However, the continuous increase in the number of samples may weaken this limitation. Social/Practical Implications The social and cultural effects of parametric design on the creation of memory spaces are discussed. Originality/Value This study is the first study that researching the cultural, environmental and formal harmony that parametric design provides in contemporary museum buildings.
