Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Exploring Emotional Intelligence at Work: a Review of Current Evidence(IGI Global, 2017) Orta,I.M.; Camgoz,S.M.Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to perceive, understand, regulate, and use emotions. Organizational settings are now considered important arenas for the manifestation of human emotions. In order to establish long-term success, today’s organizations continually emphasize the search for emotionally intelligent employees. This chapter provides a detailed overview of the current literature on emotional intelligence with respect to work-related attitudes, behaviors, and outcomes. In particular, it provides empirical evidence for the associations of emotional intelligence with job satisfaction, work performance, organizational commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, effective leadership, and well-being. This chapter also provides practical implications and suggestions for future research by addressing plausible moderators and mediators, which are related to emotional intelligence. © 2018 by IGI Global.

Cultural diversity and cross-cultural management are significant issues among GSD teams. In software development projects, mentoring dramatically reduces the learning curve for novice human resources. Due to the large amount of electronic communication instruments, a remarkable number of different e-Mentoring concepts have emerged, which provides opportunity for mentoring that would not otherwise be possible. This chapter presents key success factors to enable e-Mentoring as a tool to develop a common culture in GSD scenarios. These success factors enable the correct application of mentoring programmes and the use of this to build a common culture in organizations that perform GSD. © 2014, IGI Global.Book Part Commercial Coal Preparation Plants Capability for the Removal of Trace Elements(Springer International Publishing, 2016) Özbayoğlu,G.Işiklar and Dereköy coal preparation plants clean lignite coals produced in Soma district. Run-ofmine coals contain trace elements and major elements that are associated with coal and inorganic matter. Trace elements are potentially harmful for human health and ecosystem. Physical coal cleaning is effective in reducing the concentration of many trace elements. In this study, the samples were collected from run-ofmine lignite (feed), coal preparation plant products, namely coarse (+18 mm) clean coal, fine (10-18mm, 0.5- 10mm) clean coals, middlings, coarse and fine refuses and slimes from the Dereköy and Işiklar plants systematically and chemical analyses of ash, trace and major elements were performed on each sample. Trace elements contents and distributions in each product were determined. During the cleaning of run-of-mine lignites in Işiklar and Dereköy coal preparation plants, 54.69% and 72.04% ash have been removed from the plants, respectively. Around 1/3 of Ga and Rb contents of Işiklar feed and more than 1/3 of Ga, Rb, Sr, contents of Dereköy feed could be removed by ash. Referring to major elements, rejection of 60% Ca and 53% Mg from Işiklar, and 69% Ca and around 80% Mg from Dereköy plants have been achieved. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2The Meaning of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries(Springer, 2009) Capoglu, GoekhanThe meaning of innovation and entrepreneurship and policies to promote innovation differ across groups of developing countries. On the one hand, there is a small group of countries such as China, South Korea, Brazil, and Mexico which has achieved a certain stage of capitalistic development that provides an institutional environment for encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship. On the other hand, there is a large group of countries in Africa and Asia as well as in Latin America which lacks the critical level of capital accumulation even for sustainable development let alone for the growth of innovation and entrepreneurship. There is also a group of countries such as India with a world-class high-technology clusters developing in the midst of increasing poverty. That is, a generalization of policy proposals will fail to address the specific needs of country groups with different institutional characteristics. Appropriate government policies need to be designed to address specific needs of different country groups.Book Part Smart Urban Planning(Taylor and Francis, 2017) Huston,S.; Jadevicius,A.; Zafer Sahin,S.Smart urban development recognises the interconnection between urban, social, ecological and economic spheres but also requires a robust governance framework, innovation and institutional learning. Smart urban development involves multidisciplinary collaboration and widespread consultation. Big data and high-tech decision-support systems (DSS) can be part of the solution but not without administrative competency, civic professionalism and policy learning. Strategic plans should balance logistic infrastructure imperatives with ecological and local considerations. Institutionally, traditional planning confronts alternate policy foci. For Healy 'Clashes between conceptual frameworks and legitimising rationales are commonplace'. The rapidly evolving global economy accentuates stakeholder tensions. Urban regeneration quality is multifaceted but considerations include architecture and design merit, density and housing affordability, public realm enhancement, connective infrastructure. Smart development is adaptable and evolves in response to multiple pressures. It operates in a networked, collaborative system of vertical, horizontal and bottom-up local institutions. © 2018 selection and editorial matter, Simon Huston; individual chapters, the contributors.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Effectiveness of Social Media Sharing on Tourism Event Choice(Taylor and Francis, 2018) Dedeoğlu,B.B.; Kuçukergin,K.G.[No abstract available]Book Part Citation - WoS: 28Developmental Patterns in Internal Modification of Requests a Quantitative Study on Turkish Learners of English(John Benjamins B V Publ, 2012) Goy, Elif; Zeyrek, Deniz; Otcu, BaharThe present cross-sectional study investigates the development of internal request modification of Turkish learners of English. The data were collected through role-play performances of participants from two different English proficiency levels in four situations and compared against native speakers of American English. The situations varied in terms of power, social distance and imposition. By statistical means, it was shown that beginner learners underused syntactic and lexical/phrasal downgraders (except please) and higher proficiency learners showed a slow development in their employment of both subtypes. No clear correspondence between social factors and the use of internal modifiers was found. The results suggested weak attentional control over pragmatic knowledge. It is concluded that the reason for slow pragmatic development must be multicausal.Book Part Citation - WoS: 15Citation - Scopus: 15Comparison of Hematopoietic and Spermatogonial Stem Cell Niches From the Regenerative Medicine Aspect(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2018) Kose, Sevil; Yersal, Nilgun; Onen, Selin; Korkusuz, PetekRecent advances require a dual evaluation of germ and somatic stem cell niches with a regenerative medicine perspective. For a better point of view of the niche concept, it is needed to compare the microenvironments of those niches in respect to several components. The cellular environment of spermatogonial stem cells' niche consists of Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, vascular endothelial cells, epididymal fat cells, peritubular myoid cells while hematopoietic stem cells have mesenchymal stem cells, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, megacaryocytes, macrophages, vascular endothelial cells, pericytes and adipocytes in their microenvironment. Not only those cells', but also the effect of the other factors such as hormones, growth factors, chemokines, cytokines, extracellular matrix components, biomechanical forces (like shear stress, tension or compression) and physical environmental elements such as temperature, oxygen level and pH will be clarified during the chapter. Because it is known that the microenvironment has an important role in the stem cell homeostasis and disease conditions, it is crucial to understand the details of the microenvironment and to be able to compare the niche concepts of the different types of stem cells from each other, for the regenerative interventions. Indeed, the purpose of this chapter is to point out the usage of niche engineering within the further studies in the regenerative medicine field. Decellularized, synthetic or non-synthetic scaffolds may help to mimic the stem cell niche. However, the shared or different characteristics of germ and somatic stem cell microenvironments are necessary to constitute a proper niche model. When considered from this aspect, it is possible to produce some strategies on the personalized medicine by using those artificial models of stem cell microenvironment.Book Part E-mentoring in global software development teams: Success factors to develop a common culture(IGI Global, 2012) Colomo-Palacios,R.; Mishra,A.; Casado-Lumbreras,C.; Soto-Acosta,P.Global Software Development (GSD) teams face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal, and cultural separation between team members.

This technique enables the isolation and selection of germ, hematopoietic, and somatic stem cells including skin stem cells (SkSCs). Here, we have tried to describe the isolation of stem cells by MACS using CD34 antigen for SkSCs, again CD34 for hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and Thy-1 for spermatogonial stem cells (SpSCs). MACS allowed the isolation of CD34+, CD34+, and Thy-1+ human SkSCs, HSCs, and SpSCs with minimum 98% purity.
