Item A New Approach for Discriminating the Acoustic Signals: Largest Area Parameter (LAP)(2018) Ankishan, Haydar; Inam, S. CagdasFeature extraction of sound signals is essential for the performance of applications such as pattern and voice recognition etc. In this study, a method based on a novel feature is proposed to separate pathological human voice signals from healthy ones as well as to separate subgroups of pathological voices from each other. The voices are examined in time-frequency domain. Their differences obtained from the results of the proposed method are investigated and the mechanism of the method is demonstrated using experimental cases. It is concluded that the method succeeds to discriminate the voices marked "healthy" and "pathological".Item Status of the Albanian Muslims in Greece During the Population Exchange on the Basis of the Minutes of Lausanne Conference and the Reports of the Embassy of Albania in Athens(2017) Ozcan, HalilThe Subcommittee of Population Exchange at Lausanne Conference addressed the exchange topic in twelve sessions between January, 11, 1923 and January 30, 1923. The convention and protocol concerning the exchange between populations of two countries were signed on January 30, 1923 by the Turkish and Greek Governments. Accordingly, it was decided to conduct compulsory population exchange between the "Turkish nationals of Greek Orthodox religion" who had domiciled in Turkish territories and the "Greek nationals of Muslim religion" who had domiciled in Greek territories. Despite Greece provided all assurances at Lausanne Conference and afterwards, it took action to exchange the Albanian Muslims, who lived in Epirus-Chameria region where almost all of the population was Muslim with the immigrant Greeks who came from Anatolia, due to the fact that the Albanian Muslims were "Greek nationals with Muslim religion." During this period, Mid'hat Frasheri was assigned to the Embassy of Albania in Athens on January 1923. The Ambassador discussed the situation of the Albanian Muslims in Greece, with the authorities, the League of Nations, the Mixed Exchange Committee, the Turkish authorities and mainly the Greek authorities. Mid'hat Frashri sent approximately 200 reports, which included these discussions to the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.Item Home Application by Hemodialysis Patients for Hypertension Management(2017) Gokdogan, Feray; Kes, Duygu; Turgay, Gulay; Tuna, DonduOBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine home application by hemodialysis patients for hypertension management. MATERIAL and METHODS: The population of the descriptive study included a total of 279 patients who were treated at the hemodialysis centers of two state hospitals, one private hospital and one training and research hospital situated within Karabuk province. A total of 120 patients who were over 18 years of age, had hypertension, could communicate, and whose clinic state were stable, who did not have any mental and psychiatric disorder and who accepted to participate in the research voluntarily were included in the sample. RESULTS: It was determined that 59.2% of the patients who participated in the study did not measure their blood pressures at home regularly; 44.6% did not take their medication regularly and did not know the name and dosages of their medication (60.7% and 64.3% respectively); 73.2% had stopped taking medication without the physician's knowledge; 85% used salt in meals; and 70.8% and 46.7% respectively did not comply with the liquid limitation. CONCLUSION: It is important to reveal the effects of a nursing care approach for supporting hypertension self-management at home of our patients based on their individual characteristics through studies focusing on regular training, monitoring and providing consultancy services.Item Max-Min Space Approach for Acoustic Signal Analysis(2017) Ankishan, Haydar; Baysal, Ugur; 0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019; AAJ-5711-2020Acoustic signals having pathological problem are difficult to discriminate from each other. Despite the presence of many features, the difficulties arise from the chaotic and nonlinear nature of these voices. Unlike the existing features, a new feature and feature space are emphasized in this study. Considering the maximum and minimum values of acoustic signals at certain time intervals, the relation between them is revealed and Max-Min space is created. Experimental studies have shown that the space distribution between pathological and normal sounds is completely separated from each other and that the space-scattering field sizes are different from each other. As a result of the studies, a time-based feature is introduced which allows the separation of chaotic and nonlinear acoustic signals in the literature.Item A New Approach for Estimation of Heart Beat Rates from Speech Recordings(2017) Ankishan, Haydar; Baysal, Ugur; 0000-0002-6240-2545; AAH-4421-2019; AAJ-5711-2020Today, people are able to have information about their mental state, behavior, and health status in some issues from the features of the voices. The study involves calculating the heart rates of people using nonlinear equations with the help of the features of sound recordings. The model proposed for the study consists of the four inputs of the difference equation parameters which change with constant and variable sound features. When the experimental studies were examined, it was observed that the heart rate could be predicted with an accuracy of 89.76% by using 10s sound recordings. With the proposed equation, it is observed that the heart beat rate is related to the speech features, can be calculated these features with minimal error rate and also the nonlinear equation is presented in the literature.Item Elevator Parking Approach in Nearest Car Method(2018) Ciflikli, Cebrail; Tartan, Emre OnerA fundamental factor that determines the system efficiency and the quality of service in elevator group control systems is the used elevator dispatching algorithm. Along with the elevator dispatching algorithm, using an elevator parking algorithm can provide improvements in the performance of an elevator group control system. In this study considering a system that uses Nearest Car Method as the elevator dispatching algorithm, average passenger waiting time is investigated under different traffic conditions using three parking algorithms and when no parking algorithm is used. For a more efficient elevator control system an adaptive park algorithm which is changing according to varying traffic conditions is proposed.Item Jinekoloji ve obstetride acil hasta bakımı ve yönetimi(2019) Çolak, Eser; Ceran, Ufuk; Arman Çaldır, Feyza; Taşdemir, Ümit; Özdemir, Duygu; Eroglu, Semra; Gökmen, Zeynel; Silahlı, Musa; Türk, Emin; Yücesan, Selçuk; Üstün, Burcu; Coşkun, Bora; Buğra, Coşkun; Gürbüz, Ali SamiItem Biyokimya(2018) Güven, AyselItem Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection Induces an Angiogenic Response through Hepatic Stellate Cells (HSCs) and Leads to Early Post-Transplant Liver Fibrosis (LF) and Poor Graft Survival.(2019) Ozdemir, B.H.; Ozgun, G.; Soy, E.H.

Materials and Methods: Twenty accredited sleep centers in thirteen provinces participated in this multicenter prospective study. OSAS symptoms and polysomnographic examination and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >= 5 cases OSAS study group; patients with AHI <5 and STOP-Bang <2 were included as control group. Demographic characteristics (age, sex, body mass index-BMI) and anthropometric measurements (neck, waist and hip circumference, waist/hip ratio) of the subjects were recorded. Results: The study included 2684 patients (81.3% OSAS) with a mean age of 50.50 +/- 0.21 years from 20 centers. The cases were taken from six geographical regions of the country (Mediterranean, Eastern Anatolia, Aegean, Central Anatolia, Black Sea and Marmara Region). Demographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements; age, neck, waist, hip circumference and waist/hip ratios and BMI characteristics when compared with the control group; when compared according to regions, age, neck, waist, hip circumference and waist/hip ratios were found to be statistically different (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.05, respectively). When compared by sex, age, neck and hip circumference, waist/hip ratio, height, weight and BMI characteristics were statistically different (p<0.001, respectively). Neck circumference and waist/hip ratio were respectively 42.58 +/- 0.10 cm, 0.99 +/- 0.002, 39.24 +/- 0.16 cm, 0.93 +/- 0.004 were found in women. Conclusion: The neck circumference was lower than the standard value in men, but higher in women. The waist/hip ratio was above the ideal measurements in both men and women. In this context, the determination of the country values will allow the identification of patients with the possibility of OSAS and referral to sleep centers for polysomnography.
