Yayın The relationship between a mother's attitude toward domestic violence and children's schooling outcomes in Turkey(Sage Publications Inc, 2014-09) Rende, SevinçThis study explores the relationship between a mother's attitude toward domestic violence and her children's schooling outcomes in Turkey. The sample is drawn from the 2003 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey and consists of 7,951 children within the ages of legally mandated compulsory education. A probit regression model is used to analyze the data. The results suggest that the daughters of mothers who find domestic violence acceptable are 2.6 percentage point less likely to enroll in school, all else being equal, than the daughters of mothers who do not tolerate abuse. In comparison, the schooling outcomes of male children are not statistically sensitive to the mother's attitude toward wife beating. The policy implications of the results are discussed.Yayın Turkish sign language adaptation of the Turkish Health Literacy Scale-32(NLM (Medline), 2022-09-15) Ataseven Bulun, Mehtap; Çepni, Selden; Ermez, YusufSign language speakers are at a disadvantage in terms of health literacy due to the lack of health education materials in sign languages. Deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) individuals are excluded from health literacy research due to the lack of measurement tools in their language of excellent f luency. This study aims to provide the literature with a tool that allows the measurement of health literacy among DHH individuals. The Turkish Health Literacy Scale (THLS)-32 was translated into Turkish Sign Language (TSL). After the THLS-32 was translated into TSL in video format, it was tested for validity and reliability. The translated version of the scale was administered to participants from a DHH association in Turkey who are f luent in TSL. Subsequently, a study was conducted with 207 DHH individuals. The study group was assessed in terms of their mean index scores and evaluated to have “limited health literacy” according to the THLS-32 classification. We conclude that the THLS-32 in TSL is suitable to measure health literacy in DHH individuals and to assess the impact of the health education system.Yayın The effect of academic inbreeding on scientific effectiveness(Springer, 2011-09) İnanç Tunçer, Özlem; Tunçer, OnurIn academia, the term "inbreeding'' refers to a situation wherein PhDs are employed in the very same institution that trained them during their doctoral studies. Academic inbreeding has a negative perception on the account that it damages both scientific effectiveness and productivity. In this article, the effect of inbreeding on scientific effectiveness is investigated through a case study. This problem is addressed by utilizing Hirsch index as a reliable metric of an academic's scientific productivity. Utilizing the dataset, constructed with academic performance indicators of individuals from the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Departments, of the Turkish Technical Universities, we demonstrate that academic inbreeding has a negative impact on apparent scientific effectiveness through a negative binomial model. This model appears to be the most suitable one for the dataset which is a type of count data. We report chi-square statistics and likelihood ratio test for the parameter alpha. According to the chi-square statistics the model is significant as a whole. The incidence rate ratio for the variable "inbreeding'' is estimated to be 0.11 and this ratio tells that, holding all the other factors constant, for the inbred faculty, the h-index is about 89% lower when compared to the non-inbred faculty. Furthermore, there exists negative and statistically significant correlation with an individual's productivity and the percentage of inbred faculty members at the very same department. Excessive practice of inbreeding adversely affects the overall productivity. Decision makers are urged to limit this practice to a minimum in order to foster a vibrant research environment. Furthermore, it is also found that scientific productivity of an individual decreases towards the end of his scientific career.Yayın A proposal for a computational design and ecology based approach to architectural design studio(Springer, 2022-03) Karadağ, Derya; Tüker, ÇetinUsing computational design methods, this study aims to analyze the effects of an integrated design process model on the ecological awareness of architectural students, and on their ability to incorporate ecological issues in their design work. To this end, two studies have been carried out. The first one involves a survey about how ecology-related and computational design courses complement the architectural design studio at different universities in Turkey. The second one, which is the main study of this paper, presents the results of an ecology-based computational design workshop. According to the results of the first study, computer-based design courses in Turkey usually lack the dimension of “computational thinking”, focusing only on computer-aided design tools. Moreover, we have also found out that ecology courses in Turkish architectural education are mostly elective, and hence, have only very indirect connection to the architectural design studio. In the second study, we have demonstrated how incorporating computational thinking into the design process increase students’ awareness of the ecological dimension and their ability to make this dimension an integral part of their projects. The paper concludes by elaborating on the importance of computational methods in architectural education.Yayın Is it possible to define a universal technology management discipline?(Bilgesel Yayıncılık San Tic Ltd, 2009-08) Ansal, Hacer; Aygören, Huriye; Ekmekci, Cavit UmutConsidering the diversity of needs and concerns in developed and developing countries, the evolution of technology management (TM) discipline would be expected to follow different paths to include different national experiences and unique needs of these countries. Whether this diversity is reflected in the mainstream TM research agenda is an important issue. Thus, the aim of this study is in two folds; first, to examine how the general research agenda of TM discipline has evolved in the academic research in a developing country context, namely Turkey, and next, whether this research agenda has converged or diverged with the patterns of mainstream TM research in international journals, by analyzing the Turkish academics TM publications both in the national and international scientific journals. The findings reveal that the TM discipline in Turkey indicates both divergent and convergent characteristics when compared with the results of recent studies about developed and developing countries.Yayın Reliability, validity, and factorial structure of the Turkish version of the Empathy Quotient (Turkish EQ)(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018-07-03) Köse, Samet; Çam Çelikel, Feryal; Kulacaoğlu, Filiz; Akın, Ercan; Yalçın, Mehmet; Ceylan, VedatOBJECTIVES: Empathy is an essential ability that allows us to tune into how others are feeling or thinking. Empathy makes it possible to resonate with others' positive and negative feelings alike so that we can thus feel happy when we vicariously share the joy of others and we can share the experience of suffering when we empathize with someone in pain. Empathy training not only promotes prosocial behaviour, but also augments positive affect and resilience, which in turn fosters better coping with stressful situations. The Empathy Quotient (EQ) is a self-report questionnaire that was developed to measure the cognitive, affective, and behavioural aspects of empathy. Here, we aimed to examine the validity, reliability, and factor structure of the EQ in a Turkish sample. METHODS: Participants were 436 mostly college students and civil servants (195 female, 241 male). Sociodemographic information, the Turkish version of the EQ, Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale (MC-SDS) 33-item full version and MC-SDS 13-item shorter versions were administered. All statistical analyses were performed by using SPSS version 23 for Windows. RESULT: EQ scores were significantly higher in female participants ((X) over bar (Female)=46.45, SDFemale=0.62) compared to the male participants ((X) over bar (Male)=43.68, SD (Male)=0.56). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the scale was 0.76, Guttman's split-half reliability coefficient was 0.61, and test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.95. A positive and statistically significant correlation was found between the Turkish EQ and MC-SDS Full version (r=0.299, p<.01) and short form of MC-SDS (r=0.273, p<.01). A three-factor solution that accounted for 25.28% of the variance observed. CONCLUSIONS: The Turkish version of the EQ has satisfactory validity, good internal and test-retest reliability with a robust factorial structure to use in a clinical population in Turkey. Moreover, as predicted, women scores were statistically significantly higher on the EQ than men. This result was consistent with a series of earlier studies reporting gender differences (female superiority) on questionnaires that measure empathy. A better knowledge of empathy will have important implications for the examination and understanding of certain neurological and psychiatric disorders, including autism, narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, and may also provide important clues about the relevant brain circuitry underlying empathy.Yayın Kültür imleri - Kavramlar ve sınırlar ötesi(Istanbul Univ, Research Inst Turkology, Dept Art History, 2018) Akdeniz, HalilBu makale, ağırlıklı olarak kendi sanat çalışmalarım, kısmen de üniversitedeki sanat eğitimi yaklaşımım üzerinedir. Sanat çalışmalarım çevresel sanattan, tarihi ve kültürel çevreye uzanan, yaklaşık 40 yıllık bir sanatsal üretim sürecini kapsar. 1978 sonrası ve 1980’li yıllarda İzmir Körfez Kirlenmesi İle İlgili Görsel Değerlendirmeler resim dizisi ile başlayan fiziki çevre sorunları ile ilgili çalışmalarım, bilimsel araştırma laboratuvarlarının bilimsel verileriyle de destekli, sanat ve sanat dışı ögelerin kullanıldığı sanatsal çözümlemelerden oluştu. Daha sonra tarihi ve kültürel çevreye yönelik çalışmalarla; Efes-Ören Görsel Notlar dizisi, ardından Anadolu’nun değişik kültür bölgelerini kapsayan çalışma dizileri; Anadolu Uygarlıkları – Kültürlerarası, Anadolu Uygarlıkları – Kültür Çevresi, Anadolu Uygarlıkları – Kültür Logoları, Anadolu Uygarlıkları – Kültür Bakiyeleri ile devam etmiştir. Geldiğim nokta itibariyle de, son dönem Kültür İmleri – İmgenin İzinde yoğunlaşan çalışma dizileri ile devam etmektedir. İçinde yaşadığım coğrafya Anadolu, tarih boyunca Grek, Hitit, Likya, Frigya gibi çok sayıda kültürlere ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Anadolu Uygarlıkları kültürel zenginliği, farklı kültürler ve kültür katmanları ile benim çalışmalarımın konsept ve düşünce kaynağını oluşturmaktadır. Sanat dili evrenseldir. Fakat insanların yaşam tarzları, kültürleri ve görme alışkanlıkları farklıdır. Yani sanatlarının kendi kültür ve coğrafyalarından beslenen kanalları ve kökleri vardır. Çalışmalarım resim ekseninde olmasına rağmen tuval ve boya estetiği ile sınırlı değildir. Yüzeyden mekâna uzanan bir boyutu içerir. Sanatım düşüncelerimin notlarıdır. Konseptlerime göre değişik malzeme ve araştırma materyalleri yer alır. Bu makalenin eğitim açısından da hedefinde, bugün geldiğimiz “Üçüncü Kültür Dönemi“ aşamasında geleceğin eğitim modeli gibi gözüken sanattaki yaratıcılıkla bilimdeki yaratıcılığın birleştirilmesine yönelik, bilim ve sanatın birlikteliğini öngören içinde sanatın da yer aldığı bilim teknoloji ve mühendislik dalları; STEAM- Science/Bilim, Technology/Teknoloji, Engineering/Mühendislik, Arts/Sanat ve Mathematics/Matematik eğitim modelinin önemine işaret edilmiştir. Bu konuda dünyada bazı üniversitelerde ve araştırma kurumlarında, örneğin NASA uzay araştırma programlarına bile sanatçıların da dahil edilmeye başlaması, ve Austuralya Western Üniversitesinde biyo-konstrüktif deney ve araştırmalar yapan Symbotica A programı gibi çok özel eğitim programlarının yer aldığı geleceğin eğitim yönelimlerine işaret edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
