    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2022-04) Ayyadumi, Yasser Abdullah Mohsen; Falcıoğlu, Pınar; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Yöneticiler İçin İşletme Yönetimi (İngilizce) Yüksek Lisans Programı
    With the advent of the novel COVID-19 disease, the world has become facing an extraordinary situation that has changed the course of normal human life upside down and pushed them towards compulsory, recent technology-based alternative solutions, educational life is an integral part of that. The higher education institutions in Turkey rushed from the first moments to avoid the disruption of education process, and transformed into the full-fledged online learning system. Therefore, the current study addressed aims to investigate ‘How satisfied with the transformation to Blackboard Learning System BLS for high education students, Istanbul-Turkey, during COVID-19 disease period 2020 are’ through a comparison of undergraduate and postgraduate students’ perceptions via thirty items divided into six axes, which are included in a single model. An online questionnaire survey sent through BLS itself and WhatsApp was filled out by a total of 294 student respondents, wherein afterwards an inferential and descriptive study with quantitative approach has been employed for analyzing their perceptions. The findings are indicative that the Usefulness, Engagement, Communication and Ease of Use, Self-efficacy, and Challenges axes respectively have a statistically significant effect on students’ perceptions concerning satisfaction with the BLS. As the Usefulness and Engagement axes have the highest contribution to students’ satisfaction with the BLS, unlike, the Challenges axis has the least contribution. It can be reported that the transformation into BLS during COVID-19 disease period is satisfactory for higher education students. With superiority of postgraduate students’ perceptions, in terms of Self-efficacy, Communication and Ease of Use and Challenges axes, along with a clear supremacy of the postgraduate students’ perceptions over the Overall axes level. Moreover, all demographic dimensions except gender, place of the living, the kind of device preferred and the willingness in using BLS in the future, influence the undergraduate and postgraduate students’ perceptions. An ease of use and communication, increased self-efficacy, flexibility, availability, accessibility, transferability, affordability, interactivity, saving-time moderately and positive changes of students’ life are shown to be the most traits the BLS has. Unlike, BLS, while effective, gives rise to a sense of isolation, lack of concentration, the reluctance of attendance, plus fairly vulnerability of participation, which are demonstrated to be the most drawbacks in The BLS. Some recommendations might contribute to successful implementation and satisfying use of BLS have been suggested.

    The urban and architectural characteristics of Voyvoda street from past to present
    (Konya Technical Univ, 2021-06) Seçmen, Serengül; Süyük Makaklı, Elif
    Purpose: Voyvoda Street in Galata district of Istanbul originated centuries ago at the inner walls of the medieval city and was one of the most significant of its era, which has preserved its unique character and urban identity. In the nineteenth century, it became an important financial axis for the city. This study aims to understand the factors which determined the axial character of Voyvoda Street and its urban identity. The street, which is under the influence of new dynamics is examined in relation to spatial and functional transformation. Design/Methodology/Approach: The analysis was developed by two essential components: the street and the buildings that define the character of the street by its architectural components, and their functional transformation since the nineteenth century. The axial character of the street has been evaluated due to selected criteria. The data is based on literature review, the survey of historical maps, visual materials such as photographs and gravure prints, and on-site observations. Findings: The street has been shaped and transformed by social, political, and economic developments, external and internal migrations, the influence of modernist architectural movements, urban reforms, Western innovations in transportation, and technical developments. Voyvoda Street's strong character as an axis is determined by its historical buildings, which are attached to each other continuously that form a wall defining the boundaries of the street. It is one of the essential pedestrian connections and functions as a path. Since most of the buildings lost their original functions, following the re-use for various needs, the service and cultural industries have become dominant. Although the historical characters of some buildings have been changed by new additions, the original silhouette of the nineteenth century is still dominant. Research Limitations/Implications: Visual materials and resources of some buildings were available in detail, while for some of them, the materials were limited. Originality/Value: The previous studies concentrated on urban, and architectural aspects of Galata district as a whole, whereas this study focused on the urban identity of Voyvoda Street. The street and the historical buildings that define the axial character and the image of the street by its architectural components, and their functional transformation have been analyzed.

    1960 sonrası çağdaş sanatta suyun kullanımı
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2019-08-22) Andırın, Mine; Kara Sarıoğlu, Didem; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Sanat Kuramı ve Eleştiri Yüksek Lisans Programı
    Tarih boyunca insanoğlu, canlılığının devamı için, varlığına muhtaçlığı sebebiyle suya yakın olmuştur. İlk yerleşim yerlerini su kenarlarına kurmuş, hastalıklarına şifayı suda aramış, kimi zaman da suyun gücünden korkarak suyu kutsallaştırmıştır. İnsanlık tarihinde büyük öneme sahip olan su, sanatçıları da etkilemiştir. Su kavramı, manzara resimleri ve mitolojik betimlemelerle, sanat tarihinde sıklıkla karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu tez çalışması, suyu salt bir malzeme veya tamamlayıcı unsur olarak görmeyip, kavramsal olarak ele alan çağdaş sanatçıların 1960 sonrası eserlerinde onu nasıl bir ifade aracına dönüştürdüklerini incelemektedir. Konu ele alınırken tarih boyunca insanoğlunun suya olan yaklaşımı araştırılmıştır. Suyun fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri, felsefe, mitoloji ve dinler tarihindeki yeri ve yaşamsal süreçteki önemi araştırılmış, devamında suyun çağdaş sanatçıların 1960 sonrası eserlerinde sanatçılar tarafından nasıl işlendiği analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma boyunca görülmüştür ki, 1960 sonrası sanat üretiminde suyun farklı halleri olmasından yararlanarak değişim ve dönüşümü ortaya koyan süreçlerin sergilendiği, gaz halinde mekana yayılmasının izleyeni deneyimleyene dönüştürdüğü saptanmış ve sanatçıların çalışmalarında suyu kullanma sebeplerinin farklı halleri olmasından, hayati öneminden kaynaklandığı tespit edilmiştir.

    Co-registration of 3d point clouds by using an errors-in-variables model
    (Copernicus Gesellschaft MBH, 2012-08-25) Aydar, Umut; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Akyılmaz, Orhan; Akça, Mehmet Devrim
    Co-registration of point clouds of partially scanned objects is the first step of the 3D modeling workflow. The aim of co-registration is to merge the overlapping point clouds by estimating the spatial transformation parameters. In the literature, one of the most popular methods is the ICP (Iterative Closest Point) algorithm and its variants. There exist the 3D least squares (LS) matching methods as well. In most of the co-registration methods, the stochastic properties of the search surfaces are usually omitted. This omission is expected to be minor and does not disturb the solution vector significantly. However, the a posteriori covariance matrix will be affected by the neglected uncertainty of the function values. This causes deterioration in the realistic precision estimates. In order to overcome this limitation, we propose a new method where the stochastic properties of both (template and search) surfaces are considered under an errors-in-variables (EIV) model. The experiments have been carried out using a close range laser scanning data set and the results of the conventional and EIV types of the ICP matching methods have been compared.

    The recurrence of an Indian dream, Magic Seeds
    (Cyprus International University, 2021) Edman, Timuçin Buğra; Boynukara, Hasan; Gözen, Hacer
    Magic Seeds is a work of fiction, but it also serves as a reflection of the real world, the history of India, where value judgments in a society return to their starting point only by reforming in accordance with the reconstruction of a given society. Willie, who is in search of identity and a home, finds the remedy in joining the guerrilla order. However, here, he fights through the shadow of the past, which he can never escape. The shadow of the past is the hierarchy itself, and this article explores the never-ending transformation of hierarchy, anarchism, and the search for order through the novel Magic Seeds. This article is a comparative study of the novel Magic Seeds, and history, the Naxalite movement in India from the 1960s until the early 2000s. Through the historical revolutionary Naxalite movement and a political association of the Marxist–Leninist Communist Party of India in West Bengal in 1960s, this study also reveals why an anarchic movement apparently returns to its starting point, and legs behind the decolonization or reconstruction of a society due to the deep-rooted and pre-structured hierarchy in a society by considering the terms humanization, dehumanization, hierarchy, cast system, anarchism, transformation and reconstruction.
