Article Vatandaşların Akılcı İlaç Kullanımı, Bilgi ve Tutum Değerlendirmesi: Ankara İli Metropol İlçeler Örneği(2017) Barutçu, İ. Abdurrahman; Tengilimoğlu, Dilaver; Naldöken, Ümitİlaç tüketimi her geçen yıl önemli oranda artmaktadır. Bu artışta nüfus artışının önemi olduğu kadar küreselleşen dünyada artan stresin de önemli bir payı vardır. Akılcı ilaç kullanımı, bir yandan hastalığın tedavi yöntemine doğru katkının sağlanması anlamına gelirken bir yanda da bireysel ve ülke ekonomisine katkı sağlamak anlamına gelmektedir. Gereksiz yere bekletilerek son kullanma tarihleri geçirilen ilaçlar ile tedavi sonrası artan ilaçların çöpe atılması, ülke ekonomisi açısından önemli düzeyde bir kayıp yaşanmasına yol açmaktadır. Bu noktada yapılan araştırmanın temel amacı, vatandaşların akıllı ilaç kullanımına yönelik bilgi tutumlarının değerlendirilmesidir. Bu amaçla Ankara ilinin Metropol ilçelerde yaşayan ve kolayda örneklem yöntemi ile seçilen 400 kişi ile yapılan ile anket sonucu veri toplama işlemi yapılmıştır. Toplanan veriler SPSS programı ile analiz edilmiş, analizler sonucunda insanların akılcı ilaç kullanımı konusunda önemli eksikliklerinin olduğu, azımsanmayacak bir oranda insanın kendi başına veya yakın çevresinden aldığı tavsiyelerle ilaç kullandığı, hastalandıklarında çoğunlukla öncelikle aile hekimlerine başvurdukları, doktorlara reçeteye ilaç ekletme eğiliminde oldukları sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştırArticle 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.

Artan taleple beraber üretici firmalar arasında görülen rekabet de yoğunlaşmaktadır. Tüketici istek ve beklentilerini doğru şekilde anlayabilen ve farklı pazar bölümlerine farklı stratejilerle ulaşmayı başarabilen firmalar, rekabette önemli bir avantajı elde etmiş olacaklardır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada, 132 katılımcı üzerinde organik gıda müşterilerinin satın alma davranışları incelenmiş ve müşterilerin ait oldukları farklı yaşam tarzı gruplarına göre satın alma davranışları ve sadakatlerinde bir farklılık olup olmadığı incelenmiştir. Katılımcıların ait oldukları yaşam tarzı belirlenirken VALS 2 ölçeğinden faydalanılmış olup, çeşitli demografik değişkenler ve ait olunan yaşam tarzı grubunun satın alma davranışında ne tür farklılıklar yarattığına ilişkin analizler ANOVA ve t- testi ile incelenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucunda, yaşam tarzı ya da cinsiyetin satın alma davranışında farklılık yaratacak bir etken olmadığı, buna karşın organik gıda satın alma davranışında yaş ve gelir seviyesi değişkenlerinin farklılık yarattığı gözlemlenmiştir.Article W-Band RCS Prediction of Small Objects: Comparing Two Widely Used Methods with Experimental Validation(Gazi University, 2025) Kara, Ali; Aydın, Elif; Yardım, Funda Ergün; Sezgin, DenizThis paper compares the accuracy of Shooting and Bouncing Rays and Electric Field Integral Equation methods for Radar Cross Section prediction of small objects at 77-81 GHz band. 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 Classification of Resilience of Turkish Health System to Extraordinary Health Crises at Provincial Level(2025) Bulut, TevfikThis study aimed to classify the provincial-level resilience of the Turkish health system using K-Means and Partitioning Around Medoids (PAM) clustering methods, utilizing data from the Ministry of Health's 2022 Health Statistics Yearbook. Prior to clustering analysis, the 15 variables used to assess health system resilience were reduced to 9 through Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Clustering analyses were subsequently performed on these remaining variables using the PAM and K-Means methods. The health systems of 81 provinces were classified into 3 distinct clusters based on their resilience. The PAM method was found to yield more optimal results compared to the K-Means method. According to the PAM method, provinces assigned to Cluster 3 demonstrated superior health system resilience compared to those in the other clusters. Based on the average values of the variables, the clusters were ranked in descending order of resilience: Cluster 3, Cluster 2, and Cluster 1. Significant disparities were observed both between and within clusters, primarily attributed to the uneven distribution of resources relative to population. Therefore, it is recommended that health system capacity be strengthened, using the highest-performing cluster as a benchmark. This approach can facilitate the construction of a more resilient and equitable provincial health system regarding service delivery supply, ultimately contributing to the establishment of a stronger national health system built upon strengthened provincial foundations.Article Creating a Distinctive “other”: the Perception of Turks as Asiatic or Mongol in U.s. Mainstream Media During the Cold War(2024) Koç, Zeynep ElifThis article explores how Turks were portrayed as descendants of Asiatic or Mongolian heritage in American mainstream media during the Cold War era. It begins by discussing the broader Western view of Turks as historically Asiatic and nomadic people, then delves into how American print publications, including news outlets and magazines, contributed to this perception. Generally, in the West, Turks were often imagined as Asiatic nomads, a characterization that was also linked to notions of barbarism and violence. In the U.S., there was a tendency to depict Turks as fierce and combative, aligning with the broader trend of portraying them as violent. However, there were instances where Turks were praised, particularly in contexts such as their significant contributions during the Korean War as part of the Southern effort which saw Turkish and Western interests align. Through analysis, this study concludes that Turks in American media were often depicted as Asiatic or Mongolian along four main themes: as formidable warriors, racially Asiatic, geographically Asiatic, and as part of Eastern/Asiatic civilization (by contrasting them with Western civilization). The article concludes that the U.S. largely followed the European trend of viewing Turks as part of Asiatic civilization and descent.Article Strain Hardening Behavior Characterization of Dual Phase Steels(2018) Davut, Kemal; Şimşir, Caner; Çetin, BarişThe requirements for higher passenger safety, improved fuel economy and weight reductionin automobile industry necessitates the usage of advanced high strength steel (AHSS)grades. Dual phase (DP) steels are the most widely used one among AHSS. DP steels becomeincreasingly popular, since they provide a combination of sufficient formability at room temperatureand tensile strength over 1000 MPa. The current standards for DP steels only specifiesyield and tensile strength. Steels from various producers have considerably different compositionand microstructure; however they still have the same grade name. Combined withthe inherited heterogeneous microstructure, those steels exhibit different strain hardeningbehavior. The aim of this study is to evaluate the strain hardening behavior of DP800 steels,obtained from different vendors and thus having different compositions and microstructures.The strain hardening behavior was characterized with tensile tests performed along rollingand transverse directions. The microstructure has been characterized with optical andscanning electron microscopes. The martensite fraction, grain size of ferrite and chemicalcomposition has been correlated to the strain hardening behavior. The results show thatthe steel with more micro-alloying addition has finer ferritic grain size, which cause higherinitial strain hardening rate. The steel with higher Mn and Cr has higher martensite fraction,which cause strain hardening rate to be higher at higher strain levels.Article Correlation of Clinical Signs and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in Patients With Lumbar Spondylosis(Turkish League Against Rheumatism, 2023) Altan, Lale; Ökmen, Burcu Metin; Tuncer, Tiraje; Sindel, Dilşad; Çay, Hasan Fatih; Hepgüler, Simin; Uğurlu, HaticeObjectives: The purpose of the study was to contribute further to this debated topic by investigating the correlation of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings with the clinical picture in lumbar spondylosis patients. Patients and methods: This multicenter retrospective study (as part of the epidemiological project of the TLAR-OASG [Turkish League Against Rheumatism-Osteoarthritis Study Group]) included 514 patients (101 males, 413 females; mean age: 63.6±10.8 years; range, 40 to 85 years) who were diagnosed as lumbar spondylosis by clinical examination and direct X-ray between December 2016 and June 2018. Demographic characteristics of patients, Visual Analog Scale for pain, presence of radiating pain, Roland-Morris disability questionnaire, straight leg raise test, deep tendon reflexes, neurogenic intermittent claudication symptoms, any decrease of muscle strength, and abnormality of sensation were recorded. Lumbar MRI findings of the patients were recorded as positive or negative in terms of disc herniation, intervertebral disc degeneration, root compression, osteophytes, spinal stenosis. Statistical analysis was done to assess the correlation between the clinical symptoms, physical examination, and MRI findings. Results: Correlation analysis of the MRI results and the clinical findings showed a significant correlation between straight leg raise test and root compression (p<0.001, r=0.328) and a significant correlation between neurogenic intermittent claudication and spinal stenosis (p<0.001, r=0.376). Roland-Morris disability questionnaire had a significant correlation with all MRI findings (p<0.05, r<0.200). Conclusion: The results of this study corroborate the notion that diligent patient history and physical examination are more valuable than MRI findings, even though a higher incidence of abnormal MRI findings have been obtained in patients with disability and dermatomal radiating pain.Article Team Decision Making Questionnaire Turkish Form (tdmq-Tr): Validity and Reliability Study(2021) Sabuncuoğlu, D. Melek Er; Aslan, Filiz; Şahin, Eren; Karaçul, Fikriye EdaObjectives: Professionals in the fields of education and health who work with children with special needs and their families should be in communication and cooperation. At each stage of these services, professionals specialized in different fields provide services to the child and family with different perspectives. In this way, it is ensured that children are evaluated in a multidimensional and comprehensive manner, and their families are informed. However, some difficulties may be encountered in the implementation of teamwork in the process of providing health, rehabilitation and education services to children and their families with special needs in Turkey. In the literature, although there are research studies on "teamwork" in some occupational groups in the field of health, there are no similar studies in the field of education. Based on this, a questionnaire is researched and this study is planned for the decision-making situation of the professional groups that provide services to children in our country. Materials and Methods: The aim of the study is to examine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Team Decision Making Questionnaire developed by Batorowicz and Shepherd (2008). 167 professionals working with children from both education and health fields participated in the study. Results: As a result of the statistical analysis of the data, the overall Cronbach α coefficient of TDMQ-TR was 0.96, the Guttmann Split-Two Half Reliability Coefficient was 0.92, and the correlation between both halves of the questionnaire was 0.86. The 19-item questionnaire is integrated with a single factor and 61.75 percent of the total variance is explained. Conclusion: As a result, TDMQ-TR is proven to be a reliable and valid tool for evaluating the team decision-making process.
