    2 boyutlu oyun tasarımında piksel sanat kullanımı
    (Ulmilya Yayıncılık, 2024-10) Can, Kemal Yaşar; Ayçe, Mehmet Taragay; 21436
    Tarihin ilk dönemlerinden beri bir eğlence aracı olarak görülen oyun aynı zamanda bir iletişim aracıdır. Teknolojik gelişmelerle birlikte, bilgisayar teknolojisinde ve yazılımlarındaki gelişmeleri takiben insanların oyun oynama davranışlarında da farklılıklar meydana gelmiştir. Bilindiği gibi oyun; belli bir amaca yönelik olan ya da olmayan, kurallı ya da kuralsız gerçekleştirilebilen; fakat her durumda çocuğun isteyerek ve hoşlanarak yer aldığı fiziksel, bilişsel, dil, duygusal ve sosyal gelişiminin temeli olan gerçek hayatın bir parçası ve çocuk için en etkin öğrenme sürecidir (Tdk: 2017). Günümüzde oyunlar dijitalleşmenin etkisiyle pek çok farklı türe, içeriğe ve görünüme sahip şekilde üretilmektedir. İki boyutlu cisimler sadece eni ve boyu olan cisimlerdir. İki boyutlu oyunlar ise sprite adı verilen düz grafikler kullanır ve üç boyutlu geometriye sahip değildir. Ekrana düz görüntüler olarak çizilirler ve kameranın perspektifi yoktur. 2D oyunlarda kullanılan piksel sanat ise temelde; belirli kuralları olan ve kurallara uyulduğunda rahatlıkla bir eser çıkartılabilen bir mecradır. Piksel sanat kullanılan oyunlara bakıldığında küçük dosya boyutuna sahip olmalarının da etkisi ile; hızlı yüklenme, kodlama da kolaylık, hızlı derlenme gibi özelliklere sahip olduğu görülür. Ancak 2boyutlu oyun tasarımında pixel art çalışmalarının nasıl hazırlandığı, bunların prensiplerinin, yöntemlerinin ve kullanılan uygulamaların neler olduğu konusunda yeterli kaynağın olmaması bu alanda gerçekleştirilebilecek oyun tasarımlarının da ve literatüründe eksik kalmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu sorundan hareketle bu çalışmada; pixel art kullanan 2 boyutlu oyunları kullanmak isteyen kimselere pixel art yapımı hakkında bir yol haritası oluşturulması amacıyla derleme bir bilgi içeriği ortaya çıkarmak hedeflenmektedir. Bu bağlamda yukarıda bahsedilen ihtiyaçlara yönelik olarak pixel art kullanan 2 boyutlu oyunlarda başta karakter, arkaplan, mekan ve oyunlardaki diğer nesnelerin oluşturulmasında izlenecek yol ortaya çıkartılacaktır. Çalışmanın hem bu alanda yapılacak çalışmalara, hem de literatüre önemli katkılar sağlayacağı öngörülmektedir.

    2023 cumhurbaşkanlığı ve milletvekili seçimi dış mekân reklamı ve kampanya çalışmalarının grafik tasarım açısından genel bir değerlendirilmesi
    (Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2024-11) Yılmaz, İbrahim; Ayçe, Mehmet Taragay; 21436
    Siyasi reklam; siyasi parti adaylarının tanıtılması ile adayın siyasi kimliği hususunda seçmeni ikna etme ve tanıtım araçlarının etkili bir şekilde kullanılması aracılığıyla yapılan bir iletişim yöntemidir. Bu süreç adayların mesajlarını doğrudan seçmene iletmelerine ve siyasi tartışmaları etkilemelerine olanak tanıyan bir tür kampanya biçiminden oluşur. Seçimi kazanmak, en iyi aday olmak veya en iyi fikirlere sahip olmaktan çok daha fazlasını içerir. Adaylar, çeşitli medya türlerinde reklam yayınlayarak isim bilinirliği oluşturabilir, önemli konuları vurgulayabilir ve rakiplerinin eksikliklerini topluma yansıtabilirler. Günümüzde seçim reklamları ve kampanya harcamaları daha çok çevrimiçi platformlara yönelmiş olsa da siyasette hâlâ dış mekân reklam çalışmalarına marka bilinirliği ve görünürlüğü açısından büyük ölçüde devam edilmektedir. Dış mekân reklamcılığı diğer reklam biçimlerinden daha fazla kişiye hitap eder ve insanların zihninde diğer tüm medya araçlarından daha çok önem verilmektedir. Dünya reklam tasarımcıları arasında gerilla reklamcılık olarak da bilinen dış mekân reklamcılığı, insanların aniden karşılarına çıkması ve kitleleri harekete geçirmesinde etkili olmasıyla da grafik tasarım ve reklamcılık alanındaki yerini almıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı 2023 seçimlerindeki reklam afişlerinin tasarım açısından gelişim ve değişimlerini incelemektir. Bu seçim gerek toplumsal gerek siyasal olarak Türkiye’de bulunan siyasi görüşler açısından iki farklı gurubu temsil etmiştir. Her ne kadar Türk toplumu arasında olsa da seçimlerde kullanılan argümanlar seçimlerin tanıtım çalışmalarında büyük farklı söylemlerin de ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu araştırma seçilen siyasi kampanya afişlerinde yer alan görsellerin tipografik ve grafiksel bakımdan özelliklerinin belirlemesi ve incelemesi amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada, siyasi kampanya afişlerinin siyasi adayların oy toplamak için kullandıkları temel görsel iletişim araçları olarak nasıl işlev gördüğü incelenmiştir. Grafiksel olarak siyasi kampanya afişlerinde, anlam ifade eden çeşitli renkler, resimler yanında, illüstrasyonlar da kullanılmıştır. Çeşitli siyasi partilerin farklı politik yaklaşımları olmasına rağmen bu seçimde siyasi görüşlerin belirgin söylemleri afiş tasarımlarını da önemli ölçüde etkilemiştir.

    A comprehensive analysis of apricot drying methods via multi-criteria decision making techniques
    (Wiley, 2024-10) Abdulvahitoğlu, Aslı; Abdulvahitoğlu, Adnan; Cengiz, Nurten; 382420
    Food and food safety have been among the most important issues for people throughout history. Societies have always tried to be self-sufficient in food and have avoided becoming dependent on foreign sources. However, the fact that most foods are seasonal and the increasing population's food consumption have revealed the need to preserve foodstuffs for a long time. The old and well-known method used today for extending shelf life is the drying process. The drying process is preferred over other preservation methods for reasons such as being more economical, easier to transport, having a longer shelf life, more concentrated nutritional value, and containing fewer additives. This ensures that dried foods are of higher quality in terms of physical, chemical, microbial properties, and nutritional values compared to other packaged foods. While the drying process was traditionally done over a long period, technological advancements have led to the production of higher quality and more valuable commercial products in a shorter time. In this study, traditional and technological methods used in drying apricots were compared according to the parameters determined by experts in the field. Since multiple parameters are effective in the comparison, Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques were used. The optimum apricot drying method was determined by combining the results obtained from different MCDM techniques with the Borda rule.

    A simple magnetic resonance scoring system for predicting suitability for primary anterior cruciate ligament repair
    (Erzincan Binali Yıldırım Üniversitesi, 2024-08) Kılızay, Yusuf Onur; Erdoğmuş Gülcan, Server; Yılmaz, Hazal Berfin; Yalçın, Gülay; 334080; 392815; 202217; 308202
    Objective: This study developed a simple magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scoring method to assess the suitability of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) remnant for primary repair and aimed to test the success of this scoring method on operative images of patients undergoing early ACL surgery. Methods: The video-recorded operative images of patients who underwent ACL reconstruction and the MRI images of the same patients taken in our hospital were retrieved from the hospital archive. Two surgeons evaluated whether the ACL could be primarily repaired on the video images recorded during the operation. Magnetic resonance primary repairability (MPR) scores and repairability status on video images were compared. Results: The mean age of the patients was 30.4 ± 8.6 years. The evaluation of remnant size on MRI showed moderate agreement between observers (P < .001, Cohen’s kappa = 0.605). The assessment of the repairability score based on MRI and video observation demonstrated substantial agreement between observers (P < .001, Cohen’s kappa = 0.743 and P < .001, Cohen’s kappa = 0.762, respectively). Conclusion: The MR primary repairability score (MPR score) is suitable for use in the decision-making process for the primary repair of the ACL.

    An examination of the psychological resilience of preschool children with and without Montessori education
    (Wiley, 2024-08) Sezgin, Elif; Şener, Tülay; 157389
    This study aims to compare the psychological resilience of children who receive Montessori education with those who do not receive Montessori education(the group attends a school where education is provided according to the Preschool Education Programme of the Ministry of National Education). The study used the Relational Scanning Model Comparison Types to compare the psychological resilience of children who received Montessori education with those who did not. The research involved 99 children aged 3–6 years who received regular preschool and Montessori education during the 2021–2022 academic year. It is reported that no developmental or neurological defects were observed in any of the participants. The study group comprised 50 children aged 3–6 years from a private kindergarten affiliated with National Education in Nilüfer district and 49 children aged 3–6 years from a private Montessori kindergarten in Nilüfer district. According to the study, children who received Montessori education demonstrated comparatively higher levels of psychological resilience than those who did not receive Montessori education. It has been observed that there exists a weak but meaningful correlation between the psychological resilience of children and their social relationships/social performance, particularly in those who have received Montessori education for an extended duration. As a result, it can be inferred that Montessori education positively impacts children's psychological resilience.

    Assessing competition in the Turkish cement industry: insights from the boone indicator
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2024-08) Yıldız, Hakan; Köprücü, Yılmaz; Şengül, Serkan; 355807
    Purpose – This paper investigates the degree of competitiveness within the Turkish cement industry, employing firm-level quarterly data spanning from 2008 to 2016. Design/methodology/approach – To assess the level and trajectory of competition among Turkish cement firms, we employ the Boone indicator (β) as formulated by Boone (2008). This indicator, rooted in the concept of relative profit differences (RPD), serves as a robust metric for gauging competitive dynamics. According to the ß indicator, firms exhibiting higher relative efficiency are expected to secure greater profits and market shares in a fiercely competitive market. Additionally, we utilize concentration indices for the purpose of revealing comparable findings. Findings – Empirical findings reveal that an enhancement in firms’ efficiency corresponds to a proportionally modest increase in either market share or profits, implying a lower degree of competition within the Turkish cement industry. Although the specific magnitudes of ß estimates exhibit temporal fluctuations, we may conclude that the Turkish cement industry does not conform to the ideals of perfect competition. The concentration indices calculated on the sample also support this result. Research limitations/implications – This research is limited to the Turkish cement companies over the period 2008–2016. Originality/value – The studies measuring the level of competition in the Turkish cement sector are generally based on concentration ratios. In this study, we assess the competition level by using a different methodology based on parametric procedures.

    (İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2023) Şahinaslan, Önder; Şahin, Ahmet; Şahinaslan, Ender; 122635
    Enterprise resource planning is an effective tool in achieving management goals. Cloud ERP systems and applications are platform-independent offerings of this management tool in a cloud environment. This study was carried out to make sense of the advantages, difficulties and relationships of the cloud ERP system with scientific studies. For this purpose, the Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases and the Publish or Perish, WOSviewer and Excel applications were used. Statistical analysis, text mining, word network association, visual mapping and trend analysis were performed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the total rate of publications produced in the last 3 years was 43%, the most cited work was Springer (20%) and the country was the USA (10%). It was determined that the three most frequently used keywords were ‘cloud ERP’, ‘ERP system’ and ‘ERP’. A strong correlation was found between ‘study’ and ‘challenge’ in text mining. The challenge was closely related to ‘SMEs’, ‘data’, ‘provider’, ‘technology’, ‘literature’ and ‘cloud environment’. In recent studies, the concept of ‘cloud ERP implementation’ in SMEs has come to the fore.

    Bilateral locked posterior shoulder dislocation overlooked for 15 months treated with the modified McLaughlin procedure: A case report
    (Bayçınar Tıbbi Yayıncılık, 2023) Saylık, Murat; Gökkuş, Kemal
    Neglected bilateral posterior shoulder dislocation is a rare injury caused primarily by an epileptic seizure. The injury is usually associated with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion in the anteromedial aspect of the humeral head. The modified McLaughlin technique may avoid instability and osteoarthritis when 20 to 40% of the articular surface is affected by reverse Hill-Sachs. In this article, we present the clinical results of a case overlooked in the literature for the longest time, i.e., for 15 months. A 46-year-old male patient was receiving treatment for epilepsy for five years. There was no fall or trauma in the four seizures he had during this time. The last seizure was 15 months ago. When the patient presented to our clinic, both shoulders were symmetrically deformed, the anterior shoulder contour disappeared (empty socket sign), and there was a loss of upper contour. The computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a posteriorly locked dislocation with a reverse Hill-Sachs lesion in 32% of the left shoulder and 36% of the right shoulder. We applied the modified McLaughlin procedure to the dominant right shoulder and, two months later, we used it to the left shoulder (with a graft taken from the anterior superior iliac spine). At one-year of follow-up, both shoulders were moderately functional: forward elevation left 70° and right 50°, abduction left 40° and right 60°, and internal rotation: the back of the hand could touch the fifth lumbar vertebra. Meanwhile, the patient did not suffer from recurrent dislocation. The pre- and postoperative Constant-Murley Scores for the right and left shoulder were 30/52 and 11/48, respectively. Although the operational outcomes using the modified McLaughlin technique were not ideal, with no recurrence, the patient seemed to be satisfied with this outcome. In conclusion, in neglected locked shoulder fracture-dislocations, the modified McLaughlin technique is a method that can respond to the pathophysiology by eliminating reverse Hill–Sachs lesion.

    (Esma Dumanlı Kadızade, 2023) Musuloğlu, Büşra Nur; Sezgin, Esin; 230880
    Arketip sözcüğünü psikoloji literatürüne kazandıran isim Carl Gustav Jung olmuştur. Zaman içerisinde, Jung’un, evrendeki varlıkların miktarı kadar, söylemiyle ifade ettiği arketipler üzerine birçok farklı tanım ve kategori oluşturulmuştur. Çocuk edebiyatı, arketipler için geniş bir çalışma alanı sunmaktadır. Çocuk edebiyatında yer alan edebi eserlerde basit bir dil kullanılmasına karşın yorumlamayla açığa çıkarılacak derin anlamlar bulunmaktadır. Bu araştırmada birçok farklı disiplinin üzerinde çalışmalar yürüttüğü ve son derece önemli görülen arketip kavramına yönelik yayınlanmış olan çalışmalar aracılığıyla çocuk edebiyatında arketip kavramını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olan, doküman inceleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Veri toplama işlemi DergiPark veri tabanı üzerinden gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamına 17 makale dahil edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler doküman analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilmiştir. Arketip kavramını temel alarak çocuk edebiyatı eserlerini inceleyen çalışmaların; edebi eser türlerine, yayın yıllarına, incelemiş oldukları arketiplere, kolektif bilinçdışı kavramına yer verme durumlarına bakılmıştır. Yayınlanan makalelerin edebi türlerinin yalnızca masal ve öykü olduğu görülmüştür. İncelenen 17 makalede yer alan eserlerin 9’unun masal, 8’inin ise öykü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Konu hakkında en yakın tarihli makalelerin 2022 yılında yayınlandığı ve bunların sayısının 3 olduğu görülmüştür. Bu alanda en fazla makale ise 5 makaleyle, 2021 yılında yayınlanmıştır. 2017, 2016, 2015, 2012, 2011 ve 2010 yıllarında konu hakkında makale yayınlanmamıştır. İncelenen makalelerde toplam 12 farklı çeşit arketipe ulaşılmıştır ve en sık ele alınan arketipin gölge arketipi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Gölge arketipini sırasıyla, anne, yaşlı bilge, animus, kahraman, anima, persona, yeniden doğuş, baba, self, hilebaz ve asi arketipi takip etmiştir. İncelenen 17 makaleden 15’inde arketiplerin incelenmesinde önemli bir kavram olarak görülen kolektif bilinçdışı kavramı incelenmiş, 2’sinde ise kolektif bilinçdışı kavramı incelenmemiştir. Gelecekte çocuk edebiyatı alanında yapılacak olan çalışmalarda arketip kavramının masal ve öykü türünden farklı edebi türlerde de ele alınarak incelenmesinin literatürde tespit edilen bir eksikliğin giderilmesine katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir. Gelecekte, çocuk edebiyatı alanında yerli ve yabancı daha fazla edebi eserin incelenmesiyle de literatürdeki çeşitliliğin artırılmasına katkı sunulabilir.

    Comparative analysis of different drying methods on strawberry aroma compounds via multi-criteria decision-making techniques
    (MDPI, 2025-01) Cengiz, Nurten; Abdulvahitoğlu, Aslı; Abdulvahitoğlu, Adnan; 382420
    Food and food safety, as one of the basic issues of human life, has made it necessary to store foods for a long time with the increasing population. One of the oldest and most common methods of extending the shelf life of food products is the drying process. The drying process contributes to the higher quality of foods in terms of physical, chemical, and microbial properties by ensuring that beneficial contents such as vitamins, minerals, and aroma compounds are better preserved. The aroma values of foods, which consist of taste and smell components, gain importance. In foods, the taste is determined by permanent components, while smell is determined by volatile components. The loss of volatile aroma compounds in the strawberry drying process negatively affects product quality. Small changes in aroma compounds can lead to significant differences in product taste. Therefore, strawberry aroma is a critical factor for consumer appeal and commercial success. In this study, the effects of drying methods on the aroma compounds of strawberry fruit were compared with Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques. In this study, PSI-based MCDM techniques were used to make the most appropriate choice among strawberry drying methods. The values of 23 distinct aroma compounds obtained with different drying methods applied to strawberry fruit were analyzed with 7 different MCDM techniques. The calculations gave similar results and these results were combined with the Borda rule. Accordingly, the drying methods with the highest scores were determined as freeze drying.

    Comparison of clinical and radiological results of lateral retinacular release or lateral retinacular lengthening methods combined with medial retinaculum plication in patellofemoral instability
    (Cureus INC, 2022) Saylık, Murat; Bilgin, Yücel; Atıcı, Teoman
    Introduction In this study, we aimed to compare the clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent medial retinaculum plication (MRP) combined with lateral retinacular release (LRR) or lateral retinacular lengthening (LRL) with the diagnosis of patellofemoral (PF) instability. Methods In our study, we retrospectively analyzed 75 knees of 75 adult patients (43 females and 32 males) who underwent MRP+LRR or MRP+LRL due to PF instability without osseous pathologies. Patients were divided into two groups (MRP+LRR and MRP+LRL) according to the surgical method. The clinical and radiological results of the two groups were compared. Results MRP+LRL surgery was performed on 45 knees and MRP+LRR surgery on 30 knees. The mean age was 26.5 (18-43) years. There was no significant difference between the two groups in the change in patellar lateral shift (PLS) (p=0.429) and congruence angle (CA) (p=0.218) values. However, there was a significant difference between the two groups in the change in patellar tilt angle (PTA) (p=0.009) and lateral patellofemoral angle (LPFA) (p<0.001) values. The change in PTA and LPFA values was higher in the MRP+LRL group. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of pre-operative and post-operative Lysholm knee scoring scale (p=0.205, p=0.228), Kujala pain scale (p=0.393, p=0.596), and Tegner activity level scale values (p=0.121, p=0.899). Conclusions MRP+LRR or MRP+LRL provided successful results for correcting the instability in PF instability without osseous pathologies such as patella alta, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) dysplasia, trochlea dysplasia, genu valgus, and tibial-femoral torsion. While PTA and LPFA values improved more with the MRPLRL method, clinical results were similar in both methods.

    (Hacettepe Üniversitesi, 2024-09) Kavlak, Erdoğan; Erdoğmuş, Server; Kavlak, Ebru; Yalçın, Gülay; 392815; 308202
    Purpose: It is known that the health-related quality of life of children with neurological problems is adversely affected. But these problems also have a negative impact on the whole family. This study was conducted to examine the quality of life of children with mental and physical disabilities and their healthy siblings. Material and Methods: 82 children with mental and physical disabilities between the ages of 2-18 and their healthy siblings were included in the study. The sociodemographic data of the participants were recorded. The Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory was used to measure health-related quality of life, and the Gross Motor Function Classification System was used to evaluate the gross motor functions of children with disabilities. Results: 82 (48 boys, 34 girls) mentally and physically disabled children with a mean age of 9.87±5.06 years and 82 (34 boys, 48 girls) healthy siblings with a mean age of 12.68±3.65 were included in the study. When the quality of life of mentally and physically disabled children was examined, it was seen that there was no significant difference between the two groups (p>0.05). There was no significant difference between the quality of life of the healthy siblings of mentally and physically disabled children (p>0.05). Discussion: It was observed that the quality of life of healthy siblings of mentally and physically disabled children was similarly affected. It should not be forgotten that the quality of life of their families and healthy siblings will also be adversely affected during the treatment process of disabled children.

    Covid-19 pandemisinin Türkiye bankacılık sektöründeki sistemik risk üzerine etkileri: MES analizi ile karşılaştırmalı bir inceleme
    (Muhasebe ve Finansman Öğretim Üyeleri Bilim ve Araştırma Derneği, 2025-01) Şengül, Serkan; 355807
    Bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki bankacılık sektörünün COVID-19 pandemisi öncesi ve sonrası dönemdeki sistemik risk seviyelerini analiz etmektedir. 2016-2023 yılları arasında Borsa İstanbul'a kote altı bankanın (Akbank, İş Bankası, Garanti BBVA, Yapı Kredi, Halkbank ve Vakıfbank) Marjinal Beklenen Açık (Marginal Expected Shortfall-MES), koşullu korelasyon ve koşullu volatilite gibi finansal risk göstergelerine dayanan analiz, pandeminin sektörde kırılganlıkları artırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuçlar, pandemi süresince uygulanan genişletici politikaların bankaların kısa vadeli likidite ihtiyaçlarını karşılamasına rağmen uzun vadede sistemik riski yükselttiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, pandemi sonrası dönemde Türkiye'deki ani politika değişiklikleri ve merkez bankası bağımsızlığına dair belirsizliklerin finansal istikrarı zayıflattığı gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışma, Türkiye’de finansal düzenlemelerin kriz dönemlerinde daha dayanıklı bir bankacılık yapısının geliştirilmesi için stratejik önemini vurgulamaktadır.

    Dams in the wake-up call of the 2023 Türkiye earthquake sequence: Insights from observed damages, risk assessment, and monitoring
    (Elsevier, 2024-01) Hariri-Ardebili, Mohammad Amin; Tosun, Hasan
    On February 6, 2023, Türkiye experienced a significant earthquake with a magnitude of 𝑀𝑤 7.81, followed by four additional earthquakes throughout the day, measuring 𝑀𝑤 5.8 and above, including one with a 𝑀𝑤 7.5. As a result, over 100 dams in the region experienced low to high seismic loads. The impact of these seismic events resulted in a range of damages to dams, varying from light to severe. The authors participated in several post-earthquake reconnaissance missions to collect perishable data regarding the damage. This paper is threefold: First, it explores the seismic performance and observed damage in 17 dams (majority embankments) based on data collected from the field. During the seismic activity, embankment dams underwent failure modes such as strength deterioration, yielding, settlement, tension crack formation, as well as sliding along planar or circular surfaces. Second, the paper offers an updated seismic risk analysis for ten selective damaged dams in the regions. Total risk factors are quantified using two different methods. The results show that the majority of the studied dams are classified as high and very high-risk dams. Third, the paper evaluates 11 other dams in the region that were equipped with sensors for monitoring the ground motions. The recorded acceleration at the crest and the abutment are further used to investigate the amount of amplification based on transfer functions. These recordings will be crucial for subsequent model calibration and system identification. Overall, the paper’s objective is to contribute to sharing post-earthquake reconnaissance mission information and to establish the groundwork for in-depth numerical analyses and quantitative risk assessments of dams located in seismically vulnerable areas.

    Deconstructing the language laws: Arundhati Roy’s linguistic strategies in The God of small things
    (Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi, 2023) Koç, Nesrin; Koç, Nesrin
    Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things (1997) is a story which portrays how things deemed to be the smallest are connected to, shaped, and constructed by the bigger discourses of history, colonialism, gender, caste, and religion which define the subject. With her linguistic strategies aiming at deconstruction of the language, Roy unveils how the voice of the subaltern is located on the margins of the dominant discourses, and therefore, listening to the subaltern’s voice requires dwelling on the alternative spaces of existence constructed by the subaltern. Estha’s refusal to speak, Ammu, Velutha and Rahel’s resistance to the laws that determine interpersonal relations and their use of the language of the body are among the significant examples of the mechanisms used by the subaltern to resist domination. By exploring Roy’s linguistic strategies through close reading and textual analysis of the silences and alternative linguistic positions of the postcolonial subject, who is further marginalised by gender, caste and religion, from a position that combines postcolonial theory with a Lacanian perspective, this study aims to highlight how Roy creates a unique linguistic expression through the subversive strategies she utilizes to disrupt hegemonic power structures and challenge the established norms of society, culture and language. Designing, constructing, deconstructing and reconstructing, as in the architectural profession in which she was trained, Roy transforms standard English into an effective tool of communicating the postcolonial subject’s experiences of subalternity.

    Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females. Material and Method: This study was conducted between January and March 2022 with the participation of 120 adult females who applied to Özel Maltepe Ersoy Hospital, Nutrition, and Diet Polyclinic for body weight control. The researchers recorded participant information form, IPAQ-SF, 24-hour retrospective food consumption record form, and FINDRISK data through face-to-face interviews. NAR and MAR scores were used to determine the diet quality of individuals. Results: It was determined that as body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-height ratio, neck circumference, body fat percentage, and fat mass values increased, the diabetes risk scores of individuals increased (p<0.05). It was determined that decreasing lean body mass and percentage increased the risk of diabetes (p<0.05). Biochemical parameters FBG, Insulin, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TG values were found to be higher in individuals with high and very high diabetes risk compared to other individuals (p<0.05). It was determined that the risk of diabetes decreased as the physical activity levels of individuals increased (p<0.05). Diabetes risk score, and it was determined that there was no correlation between the biochemical parameters (p>0.05). Discussion: It has been determined that individuals’ anthropometric values, body composition, and physical activity level are important factors in the risk of diabetes. Appropriate health policies should be developed considering this situation.

    Doğuşundan ölümüne, yok oluşundan dirilişine yazar figürünün tarihsel değişimi
    (Bidge Yayınları, 2023) Koç, Nesrin
    Yazar figürü varlığı ve yokluğu etrafında şekillenen tartışmalar ile tarih boyunca edebiyatta önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Şüphesiz, bu tartışmaların en bilindik örneklerinden biri de Roland Barthes’ın “Yazarın Ölümü” denemesidir. Barthes’ın metni yaratan yazardan ziyade metnin kendisine yaptığı vurgu, metin okuma biçimlerini de kökten bir değişikliğe uğratmış, yazara karşı eleştirel bir tutum takınmış olan edebi teorilerin yaygın olarak benimsenmesi ile yazar metnin gerisine itilmiştir. Yine de yazar edebiyat dünyasında yazan kişi, yazman, karakter, Foucault açısından bir “işlev” ya da Barthes’ın deyimiyle “halıdaki figür” de olsa varlığını sürdürmeye devam etmiştir. Postmodernizm ve post-postmodernizm ise “ölmüş” olan yazarı yeniden ön plana çıkarmıştır. Postmodernizm ve sonrasındaki dönem değerlendirildiğinde postmodern ironinin yerini post-postmodern içtenliğin, yapısökümün yerini ise yeniden yapılandırmacı yöntemin almasıyla yazar algısında bir değişim yaşandığı söylenebilir. Bu çalışma, yazarın doğuşu, ölümü ve yeniden dirilişi bağlamında tarih boyunca yazar tanımının geçirdiği değişimleri ele alarak yazarlık ve otorite arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemektedir.

The titles and abstracts of the studies were reviewed and 6 studies, including 4 randomized controlled trials and 2 nonrandomized studies, that met the inclusion criteria were included in the systematic review. As a result of this systematic review, it was determined that the motivational interviewing method was effective in increasing medication compliance in patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder. In the studies, it was determined that motivational interviewing was applied alone, with medication reminder system or with an educational program. It was determined that motivational interviewing was applied twice a week or twice a month, between 20-60 minutes and between 3-6 sessions. Subjective and objective measurement tools assessing medication adherence and symptoms were used to evaluate the effect of motivational interviewing. It is recommended to increase randomized controlled experimental research examining the effect of motivational interviewing method on medication adherence in patients diagnosed with bipolar disorder and to use motivational interviewing techniques and skills by mental health professionals to increase patients' medication adherence.
