Item Transience and the Modern Turkish Interior(2023) Hasirci, Deniz; Ultav, Zeynep Tuna; Sumnu, Umut; AAC-5579-2020Despite the expansion of research in modern interiors around the world and a more inclusive dialogue with regards to geography, ultimately, the field is still lacking theory and methods derived from its own specific needs rather than being adapted from architectural research, and a focus on its transient nature that is likely to lead to more impactful research and preservation results. Modern Turkish interiors research have also expanded greatly with individual, as well as projects or research groups like docomomo_tr interiors and DATUMM (Documenting and Archiving Modern Turkish Furniture) that create awareness through various forms of scholarly (documentaries, archival work) and popular (public exhibitions, popular books and magazines, newspaper pieces, and films) interiors research and several struggles are common worldwide, socio-cultural and economic reasons result in a faster pace in Turkey, creating an urgency to implement innovative methods and approaches fitting contemporary prerequisites of the field.Item The Power Bases in Multiplayer Video Games(2023) Omerbas, Ali CagilThis study deals with how players employ different power relations while playing videogames. Power is a difficult concept to define but it is usually explained with the ability to influence. Social psychologists John French and Bertram Raven's studies have defined five bases for social influence: coercive (based on punishment), referent (based on affection), reward (based on reward), expert (based on expertise) and legitimate (based on agreed regulations) powers. Many other studies have tested their theory in various fields, and it proved to be a lasting one. Researchers conducted studies in areas such as education, business, sports with this theory and obtained meaningful results. However, the power bases of video game players has never been studied, despite the fact that video game studies has already been established as an academic field -with many scholars discussing empowerment through games. This study focuses on measuring the power of a player over another one. There can be two types of such relations: it can either take place among players in an everybody-for-themselves kind of environment - which is called inter-power relations, or it can take place between the members of a team, working together for a common goal. This is called intra power relations. This study demonstrates that expert and reward powers are preferred in inter and intra-power relations, referent being another valid option for teamwork.Item 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-5645-2022OBJECTIVES 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.Item Emergency Remote Teaching of Technical Drawing During the COVID-19 Pandemic(2022) Kentel, Aysu SagunHybrid 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.Item A scientometric analysis and review of spatial cognition studies within the framework of neuroscience and architecture(2021) Pektas, Sule Tasli; 0000-0003-0596-6405; B-9453-2008Although there is a large potential overlap between neuroscience and architecture, the studies bridging these fields are rare and newly emerging. Moreover, a gap is observed between the constructs, terminologies and research methods of architecture and neuroscience. In order to alleviate these problems, this study investigates main research themes and developments in spatial cognition research over the past two decades on the basis of the author keywords of published articles. Vosviewer (c) bibliometric analysis software was utilized to conduct keyword co-occurrence analysis, keyword clustering, and timeline analysis of keywords and current research on spatial cognition is discussed accordingly. The paper also reviews existing research at the intersection of neuroscience and architecture and comments on how this nexus could evolve in the future. It is concluded that embodied spatial cognition and affordances of architectural design provide a robust framework to guide further studies in this track.Item Experiential Learning in Basic Design Studio: Body, Space and the Design Process(2021) Caner Yuksel, Cagla; Dinc Uyaroglu, Ilkay; 0000-0001-6602-0205Basic 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.Item 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-0511-2022This 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.Item 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-9453-2008Purpose - 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.
