Conference Object Citation - WoS: 6Personality and Individual Differences: Literature in Psychology-Psychology in Literature(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Aras, GoksenLiterature, which intertwines within such fields as history, philosophy, sociology, psychology and so on, is a discipline wherein language is used as a medium of expression so as to interpret man, existence and culture. The objective of this paper is to discuss literature in terms of its interdisciplinary structure, psychology, in particular, considering man and existence, personality and individual differences which have always been studied by writers, philosophers, artists, psychologists and psychiatrists. Several complex notions, unfathomable personalities and ambiguous motives have been associated with characters in literary genres: For example the term Bovarism is explained by means of Flaubert's Madame Bovary. Similar examples in literary works could be multiplied. Man and existence have been fundamental themes in literature, which has existed even before psychology. Works of literature and art enable individuals to be aware of their personalities and individual differences and to question life and existence, the main data in the field of psychology as well. It is overtly seen that there is a very strong correlation between literature and psychology since both of them deal with human beings and their reactions, miseries, desires, and their individual and social concerns by means of different concepts, methods, and approaches.

Mechanics of the process is studied in detail through physical trials and numerical models. Results show there are three distinct stages as the pin is pushed into the tube and that an optimum geometry maximising the joint strength exists. (C) 2014 The Authors.

B.; Coşar, Batuhan Mustafa; Ozhan, A. E. S.; Aydogdu, G. H.; Coşar, Batuhan Mustafa; Computer Engineering; Computer EngineeringIon beam sputtering is one of the widely used methods for manufacturing laser optical components due to its advantages such as uniformity, reproducibility, suitability for multilayer coatings and growth of dielectric materials with high packing densities. In this study, single Ta2O5 layers and Ta2O5/SiO2 heterostructures were deposited on optical quality glass substrates by dual ion beam sputtering. We focused on the effect of deposition conditions like substrate cleaning, assistance by 12 cm diameter ion beam source and oxygen partial pressure on the laser-induced damage threshold of Ta2O5 single layers. After-wards, the obtained information is employed to a sample design and produces a Ta2O5/SiO2 multilayer structure demonstrating low laser-induced damage without a post treatment procedure.

Numerical results for different solitary wave solutions including elastic and inelastic collisions, fusion of two solitons and with periodic solutions confirm the excellent long time behavior of the multi-symplectic integrator by preserving global energy, momentum and mass.

The purpose of this study is to determine learning styles of engineering students at Atilim University for a service course. A VARK questionnaire was administrated to the students who were enrolled in this course and learning styles of these students from different departments were determined and compared. This will provide a guide for instructors to improve their courses offered to different engineering departments based on the determined student learning styles.

EfeGraphics design education should aim to prepare the student for the existing graphics and advertising market. It is assumed that it does. However, graphics design today is fairly wide, flexible and experimental. Such experimentalism may carry graphics design far beyond conventional two-dimensional design. Combining three-dimensional design with computer games, website interface requirements and the discipline of animation, new products can be created. This study deals with the developing graphics design world, graphics design education and different levels of graphics design requirements within the sector. Differences between the education in the university and the requirements within the sector will be analyzed. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd. Selection and/or peer review under responsibility of Prof. Ayse Cakir IlhanConference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Mba Students' Preference On: Online, Formal and Hybrid Mba Programs(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Erkan, Turan ErmanIn recent years, there has been a rapid rise in student enrolments in both online and formal MBA programs. This study is based on the results of a case study in which over 30 students enrolled in a top-ranked online and formal MBA program. Thus, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been used for choosing the program. Due to the inability of AHP to deal with the impression and subjectiveness in the pair-wise comparison process, the FAHP has been used. The result of the research is interesting since neither an online nor a formal education program is preferred; a hybrid one has been developed.

Many companies and public administration try to identify and modify their Lifelong Learning strategies for their sustainability. The purpose of this Lifelong Learning case study is underlying the importance of the phenomena in the Turkish public sector. Business process management was used as a tool for designing and improving the operations in the center and rural area offices of Social Security Institution. The case study was held by an expert of the institution in terms of Lifelong Learning. The improved and managed business processes was clarified in the study in detail. The study states that if there were not Lifelong Learning phenomena in action there would not be any improvement and evaluation of this improvement in the system. (C) 2013 The Authors.

The main purpose of this study is to fill a substantial knowledge gap regarding reaching a uniform group decision in Industrial engineering curriculum design and planning. A comprehensive quality based course criterion model extracted from existing literature and expert opinions was developed. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDA) was used to identify the relative importance of course criteria for the purpose of tailoring an optimal four Industrial engineering curriculum for Bachelor's Degree students in Turkey.. The hierarchical model and analysis utilized in the present study will be useful for resolving several important multi-criteria decision-making issues in planning and evaluating Industrial Engineering programs.

Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a methodology to translate customer requirements into the final product or service characteristics. The purpose of the study is to evaluate different teaching methods in perspective of employers' expectations using the QFD approach. This study takes a sample Industrial Engineering course as an example and uses QFD methodology in assessing the effectiveness of teaching methods in the perspective of employers' expectations. The findings will help the instructors to improve their courses to meet the employers' expectations.
