Article Epistemic Extraction Zones in Migration Studies: Rethinking Over-Research and Research Fatigue Among Syrian Refugees in Turkey(Wiley, 2025) Ozdemir, ZelalThis paper explores the phenomenon of over-research among Syrian refugees in Turkey, highlighting how sustained and repetitive research attention has created research saturation zones that shape both refugee experiences and knowledge production. Drawing on unstructured conversations with six Syrian refugees in Ankara, the study examines how research fatigue manifests not only as reluctance to participate but also as strategic responses through which refugees navigate frequent encounters with researchers. While existing literature has addressed research fatigue and ethics in refugee studies, less attention has been given to how academic incentives, humanitarian logics, and policy imperatives intersect to produce systematic inequalities in knowledge production. To address this gap, the paper advances the concept of epistemic extraction zones, referring to contexts where knowledge is persistently mined from marginalized communities to satisfy institutional demands with limited reciprocity or epistemic agency. This conceptual lens shifts the debate from individual withdrawal to the structural political economy of knowledge production. The analysis identifies three key dynamics. First, the emergence of research saturation zones in contexts of protracted displacement, where the same communities are repeatedly targeted for study; second, refugees' strategic yet ambivalent engagement with research, combining pragmatic hope with critical awareness of its limited effects; and third, the paradoxical consequences of over-research, where intensified attention produces epistemic extraction that narrows the circulation of knowledge and reinforces hierarchies. The article also reflects critically on the researcher's own position within these dynamics. By theorizing epistemic extraction zones, the paper contributes not only to refugee studies but also to broader sociological debates on power, inequality, and the ethics of knowledge production, highlighting the need for more reflexive and politically accountable research practices.Department Industrial Design(2009)World Design Organization, of which we are an institutional member, defines industrial design in a nutshell as “a trans-disciplinary profession that harnesses creativity to resolve problems and co-create solutions with the intent of making a product, system, service, experience or a business, better.” Industrial designers place people at the heart of the process. They perceive user needs in depth through empathy and apply a pragmatic, user-centered problem solving process to design products, systems, services and experiences. They are the strategic shareholders of the innovation process and are in a unique position to bridge the gap between various professional disciplines and commercial interests. They value the economic, social and environmental effects of their work, as well as its contributions in the creation of a better quality of life. Founded in 2009, our department offers mandatory professional courses, technical courses and professional elective courses to prepare our students to become well-equipped and competitive in their business life.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Existence of Solutions for Odd-Order Multi-Point Impulsive Boundary Value Problems on Time Scales(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2022) Georgiev, Svetlin G.; Akgol, Sibel Dogru; Kus, Murat EymenUsing a fixed point theorem due to Schaefer, the existence of solutions for an odd-order m-point impulsive boundary value problem on time scales is obtained.

Illustrative examples are provided.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 24Synthesis and Temperature-Tuned Band Gap Characteristics of Magnetron Sputtered Znte Thin Films(Elsevier, 2020) Isik, M.; Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, M.; Gasanly, N. M.Zinc telluride (ZnTe) is one of the attractive semiconducting compounds used in various optoelectronic devices. The usage of ZnTe in optoelectronic applications directs researchers to search its optical characteristics in great detail. For this purpose, structural and optical properties of magnetron sputtered ZnTe thin films were studied by means of x-ray diffraction and transmission spectroscopy measurements. Structural analyses indicated that ZnTe thin films having cubic crystalline structure were successfully grown on soda-lime glass substrates. Transmittance spectra in the 400-1000 nm were recorded in between 10 and 300 K temperature region. The analyses of absorption coefficient spectra resulted in band gap energies decreasing from around 2.31 (10 K) to 2.26 eV (300 K). Temperature dependency of gap energy was studied by Varshni and O'Donnell-Chen relations to determine various optical parameters like absolute zero temperature band gap energy, change of gap energy with temperature, phonon energy.Master Thesis Sesli Betimlemede Korku Ögelerinin Çevirisi, Bird Box: Bir Netflix Filmi(2024) Altıniğne, Elif Naz; Aksoy, Nüzhet BerrinSesli betimleme, görme engelli izleyicilerin film, televizyon dizisi gibi görsel ürünlere kolay erişimini sağlayan görsel-işitsel çevirinin bir alt alanıdır. Bu tez, bir örnek olay olarak Kafes (2018) filmine odaklanarak korku/gerilim türünde sesli betimleme çevirisini araştırmaktadır. Korku filmlerinin negatif duyguları yansıtmak için görsel ögelere ağırlık vermesinden dolayı bu araştırma korku filmlerindeki sesli betimleme örneklerine odaklanmıştır. Nispeten yeni ve gelişen bir alan olarak sesli betimleme ve sesli betimleme çevirisi, özellikle korku filmlerinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan görsel unsurların aktarılmasında belirli zorluklar doğurmaktadır. Bu araştırma, korku/gerilim türünde sesli betimleme çevirisinin sesli betimlemenin zorluklarına ve kısıtlamalarına bir çözüm olacağı ve zaman kazandıracağı hipotezine dayanır. Göstergebilim Kuramı, Film Çalışmaları ve Çeviribilim alanlarından elde edilen nitel verilere dayanan bu araştırma, sesli betimleme anlatısının hem Türkçe hem de İngilizcede nasıl işlediğini, sesli betimlemenin nasıl çevrildiğini ve çevrilmek üzere hangi göstergebilimsel kodların seçildiğini anlamaya çalışmıştır.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 ON A GENERALIZED α-ADMISSIBLE RATIONAL TYPE CONTRACTIVE MAPPING(Yokohama Publ, 2016) Erhan, Inci M.; Kir, MehmetRecently, many generalized contractive conditions which involve rational contractive inequalities have been introduced in the context of partially ordered metric spaces.

It is a well known fact that games and simulation are potentially creating safer and cheaper active learning environments. Even when several benefits of games and simulations are reported in the literature, there is no exact definition of a game and simulation drawing the borders in between. Hence this causes to some complexities and misunderstandings in the field. Accordingly, in this study a definition for simulations and games is searched by being based on the studies found in the literature. Based on these definitions a borderline for the games and simulations will be provided. Results of study aim to guide the educational technology designers by better defining their education designs and better understanding their affect on the educational environments.Researcher
