Multipl Skleroz Hastaları ile Bakımverenlerinin Psikolojik Belirti Düzeyleri, Sorun Alanları ve İhtiyaçları Açılarından Değerlendirilmesi
Department of Psychology
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a degenerative nervous system disorder which results from demyelinazation. The disorder whose etiology is not fully understood and which cannot be cured influences the person’s psychological health, daily lives and relationships, as well as their physical health. The aim of the current study is to investigate the adjustment to illness process, identify the needs, problems and psychological symptom level and its predictors of both the patients and their caregivers. To fulfill this aim, bu using both qualitative and quantitative method, information gathered from 40 MS patients and their caregivers is evaluated. Semi stuructured interviews were conducted and scales were administered measuring MS symptoms, health locus of control, ways of coping, caregiver well-being psychological symptoms. Results of the qualitative analysis revealed physical disability and illness symptoms, difficulties with social life, anxiety about the future and illness representations themes for the problems of patients. The needs of the patients were faith, social support and material needs. For the caregivers, the problems were illness symptoms, anxiety about the future and limitations of social life; whereas the needs were material, information and support and help. The results of the quantitative analyses revealed that as the level of physical symptoms increases, and the use of problem focused coping decreases, the level of psychological symptoms inceases. For the caregivers, as the level of fulfilling basic needs increases, as the use of problem focused coping decreases and as the use of emotion focused coping increases; the level of psychological symptoms inceases, too. Combining the qualitative and quantitative results, the themes specific to the patients whose level of psychological symptoms are high, were loneliness and rejection, for the caregivers negative point of view and rigidity. The results of the current study has important implications in terms of including both caregivers and the patients to the research focusing on chronic illnesses, as well as guidance for the psychosocial interventions for chronically ill people and their caregivers
Alan Özelinde Sosyalleştirme Yaklaşımı Çerçevesinde Etkili Ebeveynlik: Annenin Duygusal Erişilebilirliği ile Gelişimsel Çocuk Çıktıları Arasındaki İlişki
This study aims to examine effective parenting within the framework of the domains-of_x0002_socialization approach. Three separate studies were carried out. In the first study, Domain_x0002_Specific Parenting Interview (DSPI) was developed to measure parenting quality in different socialization domains and its psychometric properties were examined. The deductive content analysis of the DSPI was carried out in the second study. In the third study, the replicability of the first study was tested, the interactions between different socialization domains were examined qualitatively, and the relations of mothers' knowledge on effective parenting and the quality of their parenting behaviors with developmental child outcomes were examined. The participants of the first study consisted of 82 mothers with children between 35-76 months. The participants of the second study consisted of 50 mothers, which were randomly selected from the data set of the first study. The participants of the third study consisted of 141 mothers and fathers, who have children aged between 47-72 months. The findings of the first study provided evidence that DSPI is a valid and reliable measurement tool. The qualitative findings of the second study showed that the domains-of-socialization approach and the daily life interactions of mother-child dyads were mostly consistent. The third study showed that the quality of parenting behaviors in different socialization domains were related to various child outcomes through emotion regulation and inhibitory control.

Sıfıraltı Sıcaklık Muhafaza Koşullarının Su Verilmiş 2024 Alüminyum Alaşımının Yaşlanma Davranışına ve Şekillendirilebilirliğine Etkisinin Araştırılması
Industrial Engineering
The effect of storage conditions on the ageable 2024 Aluminum alloy, which was stored at different subzero temperatures (-12°C, -15°C, -18°C) after quenching, on the aging behavior and mechanical properties of the alloy at room temperature was investigated by performing hardness, tensile and formability tests. It was observed that the samples stored at -18°C hardened at a slower rate at room temperature compared to the samples stored at -15°C and -12°C. Using the data obtained, linear (Linear) and non-linear (Qudratic and Cubic) models were developed to predict the mechanical properties (hardness, yield and tensile strength) of the 2024 Aluminum alloy, depending on the subzero temperature storage conditions and the time spent at room temperature. It was concluded that the performance of Quadratic models obtained from the results of hardness tests was high, and Linear models could be used for future prediction. The results of the tensile tests showed that the Quadratic models have high performance and usability for future prediction. Finally, the relationship between yield strength and hardness values was examined. A 100% positive relationship was determined between hardness and yield strength values.
Dolgu Maddesi Eklenmesiyle İletken Polimer Kompozitlerinin Hazırlanması
Within the scope of the project, conductive polymer composites with uniform filler distribution were produced by mixing thermoplastic polymers and carbon-based conductive fillers in molten form. Electrical, mechanical, thermal and morphological characterization of the produced composites were carried out. In the project experiments, conductive polymer composites of different compositions were prepared by mixing high-density polyethylene (HDPE), Nylon 6, Polypropylene (PP), Poly(ethylene thermthalate) (PET) polymer matrices, carbon black and multi-walled carbon nanotube particles in a twin-screw extruder. Test specimens were prepared using pressure and injection molding devices. The electrical properties of the samples were determined using two- and four-point probe conductivity measurement methods. During the mechanical characterization processes, tensile and impact strength tests were applied to the composites. Thermal properties were examined using DSC (diffrential scanning calorimetry) device. Morphological features were examined by SEM (scanning electron microscope). The electrical conductivity of insulating thermoplastic polymers has been reduced to the semiconductor level. The lowest critical concentration value (0.25% carbon nanotube by weight) was obtained in the PET-carbon nanotube composite system. The mechanical properties of composites have changed with the addition of fillers. The best improvement in mechanical properties was observed in PP-based composites. In general, as the amount of filler in the composites increased, the percentage of crystallization decreased.

Rotator Cuff Yaralanmalarında Yaralanma Seviyesi ile Scapula Rotasyonu Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi
Rotator cuff injuries are prevalent across all age groups, involving damage to the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, and subscapularis muscles. Scapular rotation plays a pivotal role in shoulder movements. While the literature contains studies on the associations between rotator cuff injuries and scapular dyskinesis, scapular rhythm, and anatomical scapular position, a comprehensive investigation into the relationship between the severity of rotator cuff injuries and scapular rotation degrees remains conspicuously absent. The primary objective of this study is to discern the correlation between the degree of injury and scapular rotation in individuals afflicted with rotator cuff injuries of varying severity. The secondary purpose of our study is to determine the relationship between scapular rotation and shoulder joint range of motion at different levels of rotator cuff tears. The initial phase of the study will involve 20 participants. Based on the analysis of the data obtained, the required sample size will be calculated with 80% power. Individuals with rotator cuff injuries ranging from level I to IV according to MRI reports will be included in the study. Demographic data will be collected from the participants and the Palpation Meter (Palm) will be used to measure participants' scapular rotation in the coronal plane. Furthermore, the impact of rotator cuff tear severity on scapular rotation's effect on shoulder joint range of motion will be assessed by evaluating shoulder joint range of motion using the Baseline Digital Goniometer following the rotator cuff tear. After obtaining this data, the statistical analyses will be conducted to determine the relationship between injury severity and scapular rotation. The study's outcomes are expected to provide a substantial contribution to the existing body of knowledge, particularly in cases where statistical and clinical significance is demonstrated in scapular rotation for individuals experiencing different levels of rotator cuff injuries. Furthermore, this research has the potential to guide clinical evaluations of scapular rotation across various injury severities, consequently informing the development of treatment protocols and to provide guidance for future investigations.

Mathematics
Mapping class groups of surfaces play a central role in the theory of low dimensional topology. Any information about algebraic structure of these groups might be useful in the solution of some topological problem of low dimensional manifolds. That is one reason why understanding algebraic sturucture of mapping class groups is so important. Consider a nonorientable connected genus g surface with k marked points. The main task of this project was to obtain information on the algebraic structure of the mapping class gorups of these surfaces. Through the project we have obtained results about automorphism groups of curve complexes of nonorientable surfaces and we gave some immediate applications of these results. In particular, we have shown that any isomorphism between two finite index subgroups of the mapping class group is given by the restriction of an inner automorphism of the mapping class group. Moreover, we have shown that the outer automorphism group of a nonorientable punctured surface of genus at least five is tirivial. Finally, we have observed that the Torelli subgroup of a nonorientable surface contains the generators analogous to those of orientable surfaces.
Erken Dönem Ebeveynlik Desteği: Anne Duyarlığı ve Güvenli Bağlanmayı Arttırmaya Yönelik Müdahale Programı Uygulaması
Previous research has shown that caregiving behaviors that are ‘sensitive’ can be increased through positive feedback based systematic interventions. This project aims to adapt, implement, and empirically test the effectiveness of the VIPP: Video-Feedback Intervention to Promote Positive Parenting (Juffer et. A., 1993; 2008), which has been shown to be highly effective in a vast number of studies in enhancing positive parenting practices and maternal sensitivity in the Western cultures. First, interveners were certified through training and the translation of the manual, tests and other related documents were completed, and then the research was conducted in two major cities of Turkey, Ankara (n = 76) and İstanbul (n = 27) for two years. Mothers (N = 103) were coming from low-SES backgrounds. Using a randomized control trial design, mother-child dyads were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 63) and control (n = 40) groups. A number of video recordings, observational assessments, and self-report measures were employed in the periods of pretest, posttest, and follow-up. Maternal sensitivity and child’s attachment security were assessed through observation-based measures. Mothers were also asked to complete a set of self-report measures assessing child temperament and psychological adjustment as well as their parental stress, relationship satisfaction, and own attachment orientations. Results have shown that mothers and children in the intervention and control groups were not significantly different in terms of their basic characteristics in the pretest. GLM Repeated Measures analyses using 2 factor (intervention X control) X 3 time (pretest, posttest and follow-up) yielded significant differences on three out of 10 main outcome variables. Specifically, interaction effects were significant on Ainsworth Sensitivity Scale, self-reported maternal attitudes toward sensitivity, and marital satisfaction, indicating that mothers’ sensitivity and related attitudes were positively changed and their marital satisfaction were enhanced following the intervention. Additional analyses that were conducted comparing the pretest and posttest as well as pretest and follow-up measures within the control and the intervention groups separately, suggested that the levels of maternal sensitivity measured by the MBQS, and the child attachment security measured by the AQS have increased in the intervention group in the posttest and follow-up periods. Moreover, children’s internalization problems significantly decreased in the intervention group. Finally, to better understand the effectiveness of the VIPP, potential risk groups (High Risk vs. Low Risk) were created using the median split on a number of variables, such as the level of psychological symptoms and attachment avoidance. The findings suggested that compared to the control group, mothers who were categorized in the high-risk groups benefited more from the intervention. Overall, xi results have demonstrated that the effectiveness of the VIPP application had a moderate effect size and may have higher effect size if it is applied to the mothers from disadvantaged groups. The limitations of the study, suggestions, and directions for both future interveners and researchers were discussed. In sum, within the scope of the current project, an effective intervention instrument targeting to enhance maternal sensitivity and child security in the early years of children in Turkey has been adapted and validated as well as a number of measures were provided for the future interveners and researchers in this arena.

Low Temperature Behavior Of Hma And Sma Mixtures/tas Mastik Asfalt ve Bitümlü Sıcak Karısımların Düsük Sıcaklık Altındaki Davranısı
Low temperature cracks in asphalt concrete pavements are commonly seen in the East, interior, and west interior Anatolian regions of turkey where air temperature falls below -20 °C, or so low that the developed thermal stress exceeds the thermal strength of asphalt concrete and causes cracks. Low temperature cracking reduces the roadway's driving comfort by the increased surface roughness due to fracture, leading to the seepage of melting snow and rainfall water into the subgradethrough the surface cracks and causing loss of bearing capacity). Combined with the disruption caused by traffic loading, low temperature cracking weakens the structural integrity of the pavement and eventually increases roadway maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Low temperature cracking is one of the main reasons for pavement deterioration, ranked as the second factor in roadway maintenance and repair costs in the Northern regions (Figure 1). Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) has been widely used in turkey highways, it provides stone-on-stone contact and high asphalt content that can increase a pavement’s durability and resistance to rutting and reduce noise. However, drainage of binder and higher primary costs could be mentioned of its disadvantages. Since there is no consensus about the performance of SMA at low temperature, conducting a comprehensive study with different tests on the performance of Stone Matrix Asphalt at low temperatures would be beneficial. This project aims at characterizing the low temperature behavior of the Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA) and HMA in terms of gradation type,aggregate and asphalt type. Upon completing this proposed project, low temperature performance of SMA would be investigated, and a significant contribution will be provided to achieve long lasting pavements without frequent maintenance and rehabilitation. It is believed that the research outcomes will contribute to the national and international knowledge considering the fact that there is only a limited study available in the literature on low temperature performance of SMA.

Promoting Stakeholder Adherence To Mediterranean Diet On Campus Through Menu İnterventions And Social Marketing Strategies / Menü Müdahaleleri ve Sosyal Pazarlama Stratejileri ile Kampüste Paydaşların Akdeniz Diyetine Uyumunu Geliştirmek
Food service comprises the production of meals consumed outside the home, including consumers from all age groups and in different sectors. This service sector has evolved through the years, providing an increasing number of meals, which have been drifting away from the Mediterranean Food Pattern. Food service is an important setting for public health interventions, educating consumers and modulating behaviours through the meals provided. Prior research on eating habits has mainly focused on a single stakeholder - typically consumers - and on a narrow set of outcome variables. Although these studies provide important clues about the determinants of adherence to food offer, research has yet to address this issue using an integrative approach of multiple stakeholders (e.g., the consumers, food providers, decisors) across a set of different variables. Also, intervention initiatives, usually act only on the environment without strategies that efficiently engage all the stakeholders involved. Social Marketing is one of the strategies, empirically verified, designed to promote change behavior, which contributions to health and well being of citizens are positively recognized by many. Establishing and managing long-term partnerships that include different groups of stakeholders - consumers, government, retailers and other players - are key elements in the application of mid and upstream social marketing to complex issues. This project, developed in Portugal, Turkey, and Croatia, aims to identify the compliance of food service menus with the Mediterranean Diet in public high education institutes canteens, pinpointing opportunities to intervene, namely: 1) promoting changes in the food offer addressing proximity to the Mediterranean Food Pattern, creating, and offering plant-based meals, with seasonable and local food products and 2) developing tailored social marketing strategies to engaging stakeholders to encourage healthier and sustainable food habits. It gathers a team comprised of nutrition experts on public health and food service, food technologists, gastronomy experts, psychologists, and marketers, with a vast experience and professional skills. To achieve the objectives researches will: 1) develop and index to evaluate compliance of menus with the Mediterranean Diet; 2) based on personal interviews, define priority stakeholders and define methodology for engagement; 3) evaluate perceptions, barriers and facilitators through self-administered surveys and in-depth interviews; 4) develop of a 1-month meal plan framework; 5) develop tools concerning the concept premises to empower the catering employees and consumers to understand the proposed menu methodology; 6) develop a new food concept/product “student bag” (meal on the go) and test it for industry scale up; 7) use previous diagnose to develop social/emotional marketing strategies directed to stakeholders and consumers to achieve food behaviour change and 8) measure the impacts of the implemented strategies through a feasibility test. The project's main ambition is to change the food service paradigm, by creating and implementing a new healthy and sustainable food service concept that truly complies with the Mediterranean diet, as well as solutions that comply with consumers new needs, and also developing and implementing strategies that engage all the stakeholders with this concept. We expect to create the reference in terms of food offer that will be demanded by consumers of the next generations and the standpoint to inspire the other food service sectors/ settings achieving an effective and sustainable food offer change and positively influence food service consumers’ food pattern towards Mediterranean recommendations, while addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (3 - good health and 12 - responsible consumption and production; 17 - partnerships for the goals).

Aydınoğulları-erken Osmanlı Döneminde Ayasuluk/efes'te Kültür ve Teknoloji Transferi: Disiplinler Arası Araştırmalar Işığında İsa Bey Hamamı Seramikleri
Ayasuluk/Ephesus city, which was conquered by the Turks in 1304 and became the capital of Aydınoğulları since the middle of the century, had one of the busiest ports between Asia and Europe in the 14th-15th centuries in the Western Anatolia region (Pfeiffer-Taş 2014; 2019). However, until the researches in recent years, the view in the literature was dominant, that the port of Ephesus became unusable since the 7th (AD) century, that the city lost its importance and turned into a small settlement with the conquest of the Turks. The importance of Ayasuluk Port, which continued its activities in today's Pamucak region during the Aydınoğulları period, in close and long distance trade has been documented with excavation findings such as ceramics and coins, as well as written sources. The city had played an important role both regionally and in terms of interactions and culture-technology transfer between China, the Middle East and Europe. Although the Seljuk-Islamic ceramic production tradition and techniques, which came to the region with the Turks, are observed in the unearthed findings, the presence of imported products is also important in terms of reflecting the interactions. It is thought that concrete data, which cannot be reached with the research methods of social-humanities, can only be reached by archaeometric methods due to the insufficient written sources and information of the period. The presented project aims to reach new data on the role of Ayasuluk in the interactions between Asia and Europe. It covers the interdisciplinary research of 47 samples belonging to the Principalities-Early Ottoman periods, which were taken from the ceramics found during the archaeological excavations carried out between 1978-1993 under the presidency of the Ephesus Museum Directorate in the İsa Bey Bathhouse and which have not been analyzed before. Thus, after the Byzantine period, it is aimed to enable new interpretations on culture and technology transfer in connection with socio-economic changes, ceramic production and consumption. For this purpose, archaeometric analyzes of ceramics will be made by applying XRD, ICP-MS, SEM-EDS, Raman, FTIR spectroscopy and thin section petrography methods in order to find answers to questions about clay, lining, glaze properties and production technologies. The data to be obtained will be evaluated comparatively by bringing together the data previously obtained from other examples, which were included in the literature in a complex way. A digital catalogue will be formed by using the data about the production features of ceramics, origin, etc. The digital catalogue will be evaluated together with the socio-economic, urban, commercial and political developments of the region.
