Item Prospective Aspect of Topography: The Example of the Grand Bazaar (Kapali Carsi) in Istanbul(2023) Demirel, Emre; Goudarzi, Soufi Moazemi; 0000-0002-9367-2249The Grand Bazaar was constructed, there have been significant changes in shopping practices. Particularly the spread of Global trade boosted the opening of new shopping centres, high-street department stores and shopping malls. Despite all these changes in shopping habits, the Grand Bazaar still continues to be an actively used shopping area; it has never lost its customer interest and its socially vivid atmosphere. This research explores the reasons why the Grand Bazaar has not been lost its social dynamism over the course of time? This question has various answers, but this research argues that one of them is particularly related to its peculiar spatial formation that encourages social interactions. In this account; this research methodologically focuses on two main components, these are: how the Grand Bazaar was spatially constructed and how it was experienced by users. These purposes will be accomplished by the analyses of the writings and drawings of the important Western travellers. It is revealed that articulated in topographical account, the Grand Bazaar eliminates the boundaries between the spaces and thus between the people. This continually enhances the mutual relationships between inside and outside. This study focuses on the main interest of the topographic approach which is not much the representative qualities; re-expression of the exterior appearance of the building in shape and profile or any stylistic display, but it is more to create an open venue or a stage which enhances the spatial and social connectivity between interior and exterior worlds, ergo between individual and collective lives. As a result, the study demonstrates how the Grand Bazaar's topographical attitude lends a 'formative' aspect to an architectural context. The Grand Bazaar tries to abolish borders by emphasizing topographical aspects such as permeability, spatiality, and delay in order to create an in-between environment, and also a common social ground.Item An Early Christian Martyrion and Opus Sectile Pavement from Bathonea(2023) Sazak, Batuhan; Aydingun, Sengul; Aydingun, Haldun; 0000-0002-0309-2348; F-5144-2018Archaeological 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 wereItem 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; 0000-0001-5938-3112Objective 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.Item Spatial Analysis of the Effects of Single- and Double-Bed Layouts on Patients' Communication Patterns and Psychological States in Dialysis Centers(2021) Yalcin, Meryem; Ozdamar, Betul BilgeThe present study was aimed to examine the effect of the interior layouts in dialysis treatment centers (single-bed and double-bed layouts) on patients' communication and well-being. Spatial design of dialysis centers should be examined with respect to their functionality and effects on patients' psychological state. The interior bed layout in dialysis centers may influence patients' communication with other patients and healthcare staff as well as their spatial perception. This study was carried out in three dialysis centers in Ankara, Turkey, that had both single-bed and double-bed layouts in similar interior spatial conditions. Patients were randomly selected from these centers and 119 patients completed the questionnaire. The patients who received treatment in the single-bed layout had a more positive attitude towards the interior atmosphere; however, their interactions with healthcare staff and other patients were less than those who received treatment in the double-bed layout. Bed-row layout in dialysis centers has considerable effects on patients' communication, interaction with other patients and staff, and spatial perception. The present study thereby, provides insights into the criteria that need to be considered while designing treatment areas.Item Evaluation of Interior Architecture Education Programmes in Terms of the Multidisciplinary Approach(2021) Ozdamar, Betul Bilge; Ozdamar, Murat; 1302-597XPurpose: 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.

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.Item An Overview of Middle Eastern Museology through Cultural Heritage and Museum Studies with a Focus on Jordan(2021) Guneroz, Ceren; Karaoz, Billur TekkokThe 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.Item National Preferred Interpersonal Distance Curbs the Spread of COVID-19: A Cross-Country Analysis(2021) Gökmen, Yunus; Turen, Ufuk; Erdem, Haluk; Tokmak, İsmail; 0000-0002-0080-5285; 32782051; AAS-6901-2021; L-8769-2014Objectives: 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.Item A study on conceptual associations of colors in preschool children(2019) Mazlum, Ozge; Mazlum, Fehmi Soner; 0000-0003-2284-563X; 0000-0002-9821-8547In this study, the conceptual associations of colors in preschool children were examined with an interdisciplinary perspective. Designed as a preliminary review, this study provides insights and suggestions about how conceptual associations of colors can be used for developing products and services for kids and improving the effectiveness of learning activities in education. This study was designed as descriptive survey because it describes an existing situation. This research's working group was chosen through a purposive sampling method. The study also includes interpreted components. Two-stage interviews were made with 204 children aged between 60 and 72 months in pre-school education in Ankara with active participation of their form teachers, and the data were collected using the context analysis technique. The study found that children show dominant preference for certain colors in connection with certain concepts and they made consistent spectrum preference for certain concepts. These preferences indicate that the children aged between 60 and 72 months are able to make associations between concepts and colors and attribute meanings to colors in the background, with important hints for the use of colors in designing products and planning learning activities for children.Item THE MAKING OF THE COMMERCIAL CENTER IN TIRE (14TH-16TH CENTURIES) (1)(2015) Yuksel, Cagla CanerToday 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.
