Yayın Introducing professional skills during unit operations laboratory(American Society for Engineering Education, 2011-06-26) Rende, Sevinç; Rende, Deniz; Baysal, NihatUnit operations laboratory (UOL) course is considered to be a crucial and integral part of the chemical engineering education. The primary objective of the course is to enable students to combine theory and practice. Problems in industry however entail more than finding technical solutions. Indeed professional life requires other skills such as an ability to propose ideas, develop practical solutions, participate in teamwork, meet deadlines, establish communication between technical support and suppliers, oversee financial issues, and finally reporting and presentation skills. This study describes how in three consecutive courses, we preserve academic rigor of the UOL course while incorporating components such as experimental design, project development and teamwork, which aim to meet the needs of professional careers. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates of the program. The results show that graduates employed in industry frequently rely on these skills during job interviews, research and product development, whereas those who pursue advanced degrees in academia use these skills predominantly for their research, highlighting the need for adaptive approach for different graduate trajectories in designing the course. For both groups of graduates, the skills introduced during the UOL courses are reported to be valuable in their daily life, emphasizing life-long learning.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 İnsan kaynakları yönetiminde motivasyon ve eğitim amacıyla sosyal medya kullanımının Bursa sanayi ve ticaret odasına kayıtlı şirketler genelinde araştırılması(Işık Üniversitesi, 2018-01-18) Altıntaş, Bülent; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Işık Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Yöneticiler İçin İşletme Yönetimi Yüksek Lisans ProgramıHızla gelişen teknolojinin tüm dünyayı etkilediği günümüzde işletmelerin bu duruma ayak uydurabilmeleri için kendilerini sürekli yenilemeleri gerekmektedir.

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 A university museum: Istanbul Ex-libris Museum(İstanbul Ekslibris Derneği, 2016-07-01) Pektaş, HasipMuseums are cultural institutions that pass the treasures they host on to the future generations. The mission of modern museology is to educate the community and to contribute to its sociocultural development. Museums should not only be fostered by the state but all the segments of the society. Creating knowledge and carrying it on to the future generations, universities can be the leaders of museography. The communication and interaction of the museum and university with the public can be facilitated. There are only 38 university museums in Turkey. One of them is Istanbul Exlibris Museum (IEM) in Işık University. Small but highly functional museum has a collection of great value. Ex-libris are printmaking artwork affixed to the inside cover of books and contain the name of the owner of book. Istanbul Ex-Libris Society has organized three international competitions under the leadership of Hasip Pektas and the collected pieces of ex-libris have found a venue within the premises of Işık University. IEM has 14,000 pieces of ex-libris. All students visit the museum and participate in workshops. The goal of the museum is to remain for the future as an online museum. The purpose of this research is to share IEM’s development.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 University education in developing economies: access, competition, and neglect(Springer International Publishing, 2016-01-01) Staub, Donald FrancisThere is little disputing the link between education and economic development, whether at the level of the nation or the individual. There is abundant support of this tenet. However, at a global level, there appear to be fewer instances where a strategic effort is made by governments to effectively establish and sustain this linkage. This is particularly the case in developing, or emerging economies where governments may have made a commitment to a fully functioning education system-from pre-school through graduate school-yet a gap remains between design and implementation of the education system and realization of economic growth for individuals and the nation. This chapter discusses two critical factors that impede many developing countries from closing the gap. The first is access to quality higher education. The second is the lack of attention in primary and secondary education systems paid to the noncognitive, social, and emotional development of students so that they emerge from their education as healthy, stable, contributing members to the economy of their nation. Access to higher education in many developing countries has increased dramatically since the 1990s, due in large part to the growth in the number of private higher education institutions. Access does not guarantee that it will be a quality experience. Students may graduate only with large debts from tuition loans, yet with no employment to help pay for them. In addition, data clearly shows that affective and non-cognitive traits, which are teachable, can contribute to greater levels of innovation and economic growth, and fewer emotional and disciplinary issues at school and, further on, in the workplace.Yayın Manisa’da Osmanlı dönemi mirası: Sıbyan mektepleri(International Balkan University, 2019) Süyük Makaklı, Elif; Ozar, BetülAntik çağlarda Sypylos adıyla bilinen dağın kuzey eteklerinde kurulan Manisa (Magnesia Ad Sipylus), tarihsel süreç içinde yaşamını kesintisiz sürdürebilmiş önemli kentlerden birisidir. Kentin köklü tarihi ve kültürel kodlarını yansıtan mimari mirası, korunmaya değer önemli niteliklere sahiptir. Tarihsel süreçte sosyolojik, kültürel ve teknolojik gelişmelerden etkilenen kentler doğal bir şekilde büyümüş, değişmiş ve dönüşmüştür. Bu değişimler sonucu günümüzde tescillenmiş bazı yapıların özgün fonksiyonlarını yitirdiği görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada Manisa şehir merkezinde yer alan ve günümüze ulaşan seçili sıbyan mekteplerinin yerleşim, planlama ve yapısal özelliklerinin geçmişte ve günümüzde taşıdıkları anlamlar değerlendirilmiştir. Kentsel mekanı tanımlayan bir öğe olarak Sıbyan Mekteplerinin sokakla ve onun tanımladığı mekanla olan diyaloğunu ve bu mekanların geçmişte ve günümüzde toplumsal kavranışını anlamak çalışmanın bir diğer amacıdır. Çalışmada literatür taraması, haritalar ve görsel dokümanlar, alanda gözlem, fotoğraflama yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Manisa merkezdeki sıbyan mekteplerinin günümüzdeki mevcut kullanım durumları incelendiğinde birbirinden farklı fonksiyonlara sahip oldukları gözlemlenmiştir. Yapıların ana kullanıcısı olan çocukların eğitim aldığı işlevlendirmelerin yanı sıra farklı işlevlerin de kullanıldığı görülmektedir. Çocuk öznesini odağına alan işlevlendirmeler ile bu yapıların aktif bir şekilde kullanımının sağlanabileceği; çevrelerine, mahallelerine ve kente bütünselliği ile canlılık katan unsurlara dönüşebileceği düşünülmektedir. Özgün fonksiyonlarını yitiren bu yapıların kent içinde görünürlük ve algılanabilirlik düzeyi düşüktür ve yapılan yanlış işlevlendirmeler ve kusurlu müdahaleler ile zarar görmüşlerdir. Bu sebeple çalışmanın sonucunda yapıların bütüncül bir yaklaşımla koruma ve işlevlendirilmesine yönelik öneriler de üretilmiştir.
