Bununla birlikte çağdaş edebiyatta hileci arketipi; kurnaz, doğruyu söyleyen, hikâye anlatıcısı ve evrenin yasalarıyla oynayan bir dönüştürücü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Hileci figür, gerçeği körü körüne kabul etmeyi reddeder; modası geçmiş zihniyetin yeri geldiğinde yıkılması gerektiği görüşünü savunur. Yıkıcı tutumuna rağmen kültürlerin tasarımına katkısından dolayı saygı duyulur. Jeanette Winterson’ın Atlas ve Herakles mitini tekrar kaleme aldığı Weight (Atlas’ın Yükü) adlı eseri, 2005 yılında farklı kültürlere ait mitleri tanınmış yazarlara yeniden yazdıran Canongate Myth Series projesi kapsamında yayınlandı. İngiliz edebiyatının önde gelen yazarlarından biri olan Winterson; titizlikle yazdığı hibrit kurgusunda, epik gelenekleri çeşitli edebi araçlar ve farklı türlerin karışımı ile yapı bozuma uğratır. Yazar, çok katmanlı eserinde gerçekte kendisini özdeşleştirdiği mitolojik kahraman Atlas üzerinden hikâyesini anlatır. Bu çalışma, eski miti yeniden kaleme alma sürecinde, kurnaz ve bilge bir dönüştürücü ve öykü anlatıcısı olarak Jeanette Winterson'ın hileci-sanatçı yönüne dikkat çekmeyi amaçlamaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2The Detailed Transseptal Puncture Technique for Optimal Closure in Patients With a Patent Foramen Ovale(Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Ilkay, Erdogan; Saricam, Ersin; Kacmaz, Fehmi; Yakici, Aysel; Koca, Cigdem; Ozeke, Ozcan; Onal, Mehmet ZulkufBackground The closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) using transseptal puncture has particular advantages and disadvantages. Thus, transseptal puncture should be re-evaluated in detail. Aims We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the detailed transseptal puncture technique in patients who underwent PFO closure due to cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack in terms of residual shunts and atrial fibrillation. Methods We prospectively analyzed 144 consecutive patients who underwent PFO closure by the detailed transseptal puncture technique between February 2013 and April 2023 in two centers. All of the patients had a >10 mm long-tunnel PFO. Results The procedural success rate was 100%. However, after the procedure, moderate pericardial effusion developed in one patient (0.7%) and an acute pulmonary embolism related to femoral vein thrombosis was observed in one patient (0.7%) during the first month. Complications related to the procedure were noted in two patients (1.4%) during the first month of follow-up. Residual shunts were observed in 1.4% of cases after PFO closure. Conclusion We demonstrated that the detailed transseptal technique is safe and effective for PFO closure. The detailed transseptal PFO closure technique significantly reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation, and the occurrence of residual shunts was significantly low following the closure.Article Robust Divergence-Based Tests of Hypotheses for Simple Step-Stress Accelerated Life-Testing Under Gamma Lifetime Distributions(Elsevier, 2026) Balakrishnan, Narayanaswamy; Jaenada, Maria; Pardo, LeandroMany modern devices are highly reliable, with long lifetimes before their failure. Conducting reliability tests under actual use conditions may require therefore impractically long experimental times to gather sufficient data for developing accurate inference. To address this, Accelerated Life Tests (ALTs) are often used in industrial experiments to induce product degradation and eventual failure more quickly by increasing certain environmental stress factors. Data collected under such increased stress conditions are analyzed, and results are then extrapolated to normal operating conditions. These tests typically involve a small number of devices and so pose significant challenges, such as interval-censoring. As a result, the outcomes are particularly sensitive to outliers in the data. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis requires more than just point estimation; inferential methods such as confidence intervals and hypothesis testing are essential to fully assess the reliability behaviour of the product. This paper presents robust statistical methods based on minimum divergence estimators for analyzing ALT data of highly reliable devices under step-stress conditions and Gamma lifetime distributions. Robust test statistics generalizing the Rao test and divergence-based tests for testing linear null hypothesis are then developed. These hypotheses include in particular tests for the significance of the identified stress factors and for the validity of the assumption of exponential lifetimes.Article Ab Adalet Divanı’nın Hukuk Yaratması Ultra-vires Tasarruf Olarak Görülebilir Mi?(2021) Arsava, Ayşe FüsunAB Adalet Divanı Taricco II davasında vermiş olduğu kararla İtalyan Anayasa Mahkemesi ile kendi arasındaanayasal kimliğin korunması konusundaki mevcut uyuşmazlığın tırmanmasını önleyebilmiştir.

Existing studies on RCS prediction methods often lack comprehensive comparisons between computational and experimental results, particularly for small objects measured with a 77 GHz radar. This study addresses this gap by presenting an in-depth analysis of both simulation and measurement data. In this work, three targets with varying geometries and materials were measured with a frequency modulated continuous wave radar and simulated using Ansys HFSS and CST Studio Suite. The measurements were performed with a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) frequency modulated continuous wave radar operating at 77–81 GHz. This study aims to emphasize the importance of considering both efficiency and accuracy when opting for an RCS prediction method. Overall, the outcomes of both methods have largely demonstrated good alignment. It has been noted that, while Shooting and Bouncing Rays method offers promising time-saving advantages, Electric Field Integral Equation method remains a valuable tool for complex geometries where precise results are crucial.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Comparison of Three Different Learning Methods of Multilayer Perceptron Neural Network for Wind Speed Forecasting(Gazi Univ, 2021) Bulut, Mehmet; Tora, Hakan; Buaisha, Dr.magdiIn the world, electric power is the highest need for high prosperity and comfortable living standards. The security of energy supply is an essential concept in national energy management. Therefore, ensuring the security of electricity supply requires accurate estimates of electricity demand. The share of electricity generation from renewables is significantly growing in the world. This kind of energy types are dependent on weather conditions as the wind and solar energies. There are two vital requirements to locate and measure specific systems to utilize wind power: modelling and forecasting of the wind velocity. To this end, using only 4 years of measured meteorological data, the present research attempts to estimate the related speed of wind within the Libyan Mediterranean coast with the help of ANN (artificial neural networking) with three different learning algorithms, which are Levenberg-Marquardt, Bayesian Regularization and Scaled Conjugate Gradient. Conclusions reached in this study show that wind speed can be estimated within acceptable limits using a limited set of meteorological data. In the results obtained, it was seen that the SCG algorithm gave better results in tests in this study with less data.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 45Study on the Cytocompatibility, Mechanical and Antimicrobial Properties of 3d Printed Composite Scaffolds Based on Pva/ Gold Nanoparticles (aunp)/ Ampicillin (amp) for Bone Tissue Engineering(Elsevier, 2021) Topsakal, Aysenur; Midha, Swati; Yuca, Esra; Tukay, Ari; Sasmazel, Hilal Turkoglu; Kalaskar, Deepak M.; Gunduz, OguzhanOver the years, gold nanoparticles (AuNP) have been widely used in several biomedical applications related to the diagnosis, drug delivery, bio-imaging, photo-thermal therapy and regenerative medicine, owing to their unique features such as surface plasmon resonance, fluorescence and easy surface functionality. Recent studies showed that gold nanoparticles display positive effect on osteogenic differentiation. In line with this effect, 3-Dimesional (3D) scaffolds that can be used in bone tissue were produced by exploiting the properties of gold nanoparticles that increase biocompatibility and support bone tissue development. In addition, ampicillin was added to the scaffolds containing gold nanoparticles as a model drug to improve its antimicrobial properties. The scaffolds were produced as composites of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) main matrix as PVA, PVA/AuNP, PVA/Ampicillin (AMP) and PVA/AuNP/AMP. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), tensile measurement tests, and in vitro applications of 3D scaffolds were performed. As depicted by SEM, scaffolds were produced at pore sizes appropriate for bone tissue regeneration. According to FTIR results, there was no modification observed in the AMP, PVA and gold nanoparticles due to mixing in the resultant scaffolds. In vitro results show that 3D printed composite scaffold based on PVA/AuNP/AMP are biocompatible, osteo-inductive and exhibit antimicrobial properties, compared to PVA scaffolds. This study has implications for addressing infections during orthopedic surgeries. The PVA-based gold nanoparticle 3D tissue scaffold study containing ampicillin covers a new study compared to other articles based on gold nanoparticles.Book Non-Discrimination in Turkey(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Yilmaz,G.The book “Non-discrimination in Turkey” focuses on issue areas within the broader non-discrimination framework in Turkey.
