Article Assessment of Artificial Lighting Conditions in Sunlight-Deprived Classrooms(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2025) Duyan, Fazila; Kaplan, ElifNumerous studies on classroom lighting emphasize a close and significant relationship between students' concentration, comprehension of course content, and the efficiency of activities such as drawing, writing, and practices, with the lighting conditions. In this context, it is particularly important to properly design both the physical and psychological effects of artificial lighting, especially in sunlight-deprived classrooms. This study examines the artificial lighting conditions of a classroom located in the basement of a university building, which has no visual connection to the outdoors. The classroom is utilized by students from the departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Industrial Design. The study investigates the effects of current artificial lighting on students, focusing on aspects such as visual perception satisfaction, light colour, illuminance level, glare, and the temporal light modulation effect. To assess students' perception of the existing lighting conditions, an online questionnaire was administered, and a total of 104 students (65 female, 39 male) who had previous experience with the classroom participated in the study. Technical measurements of the existing luminaires were conducted, and the classroom was digitally modelled using the DIALux Evo lighting software. The collected data were analysed using the SPSS statistical analysis program. The findings of the study indicate that students perceived the artificial lighting conditions as inadequate in terms of visual comfort. Moreover, based on technical measurements, simulations, and user evaluations, it was determined that the existing luminaires caused glare and temporal light modulation effects, negatively affecting the classroom environment.Article Determination of Post-Earthquake Trauma Level and Investigation of the Relationship with Physical Activity Status(Turkish Physiotherapy Association, 2025) Tosun, Anil; Yılmaz, Nergis; Luque, Demet Tekın De Las Penas; Tekin De Las Penas Luque, DemetAmaç: Çalışmanın amacı; 06 Şubat 2023’te meydana gelen Pazarcık-Elbistan merkezli depremler sebebiyle kişilerde oluşan travma düzeyinin, kişinin fiziksel aktivite durumu ile ilişkisini incelemektir. Aynı zamanda, kişilerde deprem sonrası ağrı varlığının sorgulanması ve bu durumun travma düzeyi ile ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Yöntem: Veriler çevrimiçi olarak Google formları aracılığıyla toplandı, 18-65 yaş arası 388 gönüllü katılımcı (299 kadın, 89 erkek) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Katılımcıların genel özelliklerini belirlemek için “Sosyodemografik Bilgi Formu”, travma düzeyini değerlendirmek için “Deprem Sonrası Travma Düzeyini Belirleme Ölçeği” (DSTDBÖ) ve fiziksel aktivite durumlarını belirlemek için “Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Formu” (IPAQ-KF) kullanıldı. Bulgular: Deprem bölgesinde bulunma durumuna göre DSTDBÖ genel puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark saptandı (p<0,001). Deprem bölgesinde bulunan 126 kişinin DSTDBÖ genel puan ortalaması 57,66±19,87 iken, bölgede bulunmayan 262 kişinin ortalaması 49,00±18,49 olarak bulundu. Spearman korelasyon analiziyle deprem bölgesinde olan ve olmayan bireylerin IPAQ-KF toplam puanları, DSTDBÖ alt faktör ve toplam puanları arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş olup sadece “Bilişsel Yapılandırma” alt faktörü ile IPAQ-KF toplam puanları arasında anlamlı bir ilişkiyi yansıtmayan negatif zayıf ilişki bulundu (deprem bölgesinde olanlar için Spearman korelasyon katsayı değeri =-0,18, p=0,042). Ve deprem sonrası ağrı yaşayan bireylerin DSTDBÖ puanları, ağrı yaşamayanlardan daha yüksek olarak saptandı (p=0,000). Sonuç: Bu çalışma ile deprem sonrası travma düzeyinin, fiziksel aktivite ile negatif ilişki gösterdiği belirlendi. İnaktif bireyler daha yüksek travma düzeylerine sahipken, minimal aktif bireylerde travma düzeyleri daha düşük bulundu. Bu bulgular, deprem sonrası fiziksel aktivitenin artırılmasının travma düzeylerini azaltmada etkili bir strateji olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu alanda daha fazla araştırma, eğitim ve proje çalışmalarının yapılması gerekmektedir.Article Seçici Enternasyonalizmden Askeri İzolasyona ABD Dış Politikasında Türkiye (1918-1923)(Istanbul University, 2025) Papuççular, HazalBu makale Millî Mücadele döneminde Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin Türkiye’ye yaklaşımını ve bu yaklaşımın zaman içindeki değişimini incelemektedir. Çalışma, Amerika’nın Millî Mücadele ile olan ilişkisine dair dört bulgu ortaya koymak- tadır. Birincisi, 1918 sonrasında Başkan Wilson’ın bölgeye bakışının çoğunlukla Ermenistan mandası üzerinden şekillenip sekteryan bir tercihi yansıttığıdır. Bu durum, başkanın enternasyonalist düşüncelerinde seçici olduğunu göstermektedir. İkincisi, Anadolu’daki gayrimüslimlerin durumunun Wilson’ın başkanlığından sonra da ABD’nin bölgeye bakışındaki önemli unsurlardan biri olmaya devam ettiğidir. Ancak Wilson döneminin aksine, ABD bu meseleleri takiple yetinmiş ve çoğu zaman konuya müdahil olmamıştır. Bu durum, ABD dış politikasında yaşanan askeri-siyasi izolasyon süreci ve bu zaman zarfında dış ilişkilerde ticari çıkarların ön planda olmasıyla yakından ilişkilidir. Üçüncüsü, Türklerin Millî Mücadele’de zamanla artan başarısının da ABD’yi iktisadi ve ticari çıkarları sebebiyle Ankara’ya karşı daha farklı bir politika izlemeye itmesidir. Sonuncusu ise hem gayrimüslimler hem de iktisadi çıkarlar çerçevesinde, yardım misyonları, iş çevreleri, lobi grupları gibi birbiriyle çatışan hedefleri olan çeşitli aktörlerin bu süreçte Amerikan siyasetini etkilemek için yoğun çaba sarf ettiğidir. Makale, Ankara’nın ABD’ye temel bakışının ise İngiltere ve Fransa’ya karşı bir denge oluşturma politikası olarak analiz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, Türkiye’nin ABD ile olan ilişkileri kuruluş dönemi diplomasisini de iyi bir biçimde yansıtmaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5Qualitative and Artificial Intelligence-Based Sentiment Analysis of Turkish Tweets Related To Schizophrenia(Turkiye Sinir ve Ruh Sagligi dernegi, 2023) Dikec, Gul; Oban, Volkan; Usta, Mirac BarisObjective: The aim of this study was to qualitatively examine Turkish tweets about schizophrenia in respect of stigmatization and discrimination within a one-month period and to conduct emotional analysis using artificial intelligence applications. Method: Using the keyword 'schizophrenia,' Turkish tweets were gathered from the Python Tweepy application between December 19, 2020 and January 18, 2021. Features were extracted using the Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) method and artificial neural networks and tweets were classified as positive, neutral, or negative. Approximately 5% of the tweets were qualitatively analyzed, constituting those most frequently liked and retweeted. Results: The study found that, of the total of 3406 schizophrenia-related messages shared in Turkey over a period of one-month, 2996 were original, and were then retweeted a total of 1823 times, and liked by 25,413 people. It was determined that 63.4% of the tweets shared about schizophrenia contained negative emotions, 28.7% were neutral, and 7.71% expressed positive emotions. Within the scope of the qualitative analysis, 145 tweets were examined and classified under four main themes and two sub-themes; namely, news about violent patients, insult (insulting people in interpersonal relationships, insulting people in the news), mockery, and information. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the Turkish tweets about schizophrenia, which were emotionally analyzed using artificial intelligence were found often to contain negative emotions. It was also seen that Twitter users used the term schizophrenia, not in a medical sense but to insult and make fun of individuals, frequently shared the news that patients were victims or perpetrators of violence, and the messages shared by professional branch organizations or mental health professionals were primarily for conveying information to the public.Article Citation - WoS: 1The Reflection of Store Image on Icon Brand Perception(Marmara Univ, Fac Communication, 2021) Ulker, Yelda; Tosun, NurhanToday, the increase in the number of stores has led to the emergence of many stores with similar features. The brands had to determine different strategies from stores of other brands while creating images of their stores because of this situation. In line with this purpose, brands, while creating store images, attach importance to store atmosphere elements such as color, product, packaging, store window layout, and light. In addition, the brands that want to be long-lasting and have the loyalty of the consumer today aim to become icon brands. Brands that endeavor to be icon brands also determine the elements of store atmosphere in line with this purpose. In other words, brands that care about store atmosphere differentiate and address the emotions of consumers, and usually try to become icons. In this context, the main purpose of the study is to determine whether there is a significant relationship between store image and icon brands and their sub-dimensions "brand personality", "identity myth" and brand storytelling perception. For this purpose, the research was applied to university students who consume coffee excessively, and the reflection of Starbucks' store image on icon brand perception was examined. In this context, the sample of the research consists of students of Marmara University. This is because it is the second state university with the highest student population in Istanbul and there are Starbucks stores around the campuses of Marmara University, unlike Istanbul University, which has the highest student population. In the study with a sample of 431 people, according to the regression analysis, there was a significant relationship between store image and icon brand perception. In the light of the data obtained, it is concluded that there is also a significant relationship between brand image and icon brand sub-dimensions "brand personality", "identity myth" and "brand storytelling' perception.Article Evaluation of Growth in Children Aged One- Two Years: a Cross- Sectional Study(Istanbul Univ, 2022) Guldemir, Hilal Hizli; Simsek, Tugce; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezObjective: The study was conducted to evaluate growth in children aged 1-2 years. Methods: In this study conducted with 302 children and their mothers, data on children and their families were obtained using a questionnaire. Z-scores were determined by measuring the weight and height of the children, and these were compared with percentile curves developed for Turkish children. Energy and macronutrient consumption were determined by taking a daily food consumption record for each child. Results: The average age, birth weight and height of children were 18.6 +/- 3.2 months, 3.2 +/- 0.5 kg and 50.0 +/- 2.3 cm, respectively. Their current weight and height were determined as 11.4 +/- 1.6 kg and 80.6 +/- 6.5 cm. It was observed that 85.6% of the children had normal body weight, 69.5% normal BMI and 56.2% normal height z score. It has been determined that body weight and height z-scores are higher in girls compared to boys (22.1%, 32.6% and 24.7% respectively in + 2SD). Body weights of children with high monthly income were also found to be significantly higher (15.6% in + 2SD, p=0.038). Conclusions: It has been concluded that the standards, gender and the economic status of the family in this age period are effective on childrens' growth.Article Citation - WoS: 1The Effect of Training on Stress and Coping With Stress in Patients Receiving Infertility Treatment(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2020) Eroglu, Nermin; Temiz, GamzePurpose: This study was planned and applied semi-experimentally to examine the effect of education given to patients receiving infertility treatment on stress and coping with stress. Materials and Methods: The study is semi-experimental. It was held between May 2017 and January 2018 with individuals who applied to a foundation hospital in Istanbul province for IVF treatment. The sample was made up of 40 infertile individuals. The data were collected by the researcher through face-to-face interview method. Training was given after pretesting. Post-test was performed one month after the training. Results: The pre-education stress scale of middle school graduates of infertile women was higher, this difference disappeared after education, and there was a statistically significant difference between the infertility stress and coping scale subscale mean scores. As the use of active ignoring, active struggling and passive ignoring coping methods of women, the use of the methods of coping with the infertility subscale scores increased, the infertility stress subscale scores increased.. Conclusion: In this study, the relationship between infertility and stress research was investigated and it was concluded that the treatment process and results are an important source of stress in patients. According to the results obtained, it is recommended to determine the stress level and methods of coping with stress, and provide training and counseling on patients who apply to the hospital for infertility treatment.Article Potential Publicity of the Remnant Space in the Upper Modern City: London Low-Line Railway Example(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2020) Akaydin, Ozlem Eren; Onal, FerideCities have been exposed to an uncontrolled change, consumption, and transformation process because of the profit-oriented planning systems with the developments dependent on technology and capital. Due to the reasons that can be detailed under major circumstances such as the increase in the private vehicle usage, the planning approaches generated for public spaces during the modernism period, the determination of regional distinctions with stable boundaries, the disconnection in the transitions of public-private spaces, and the inaccurate applications in decontamination of city centres from industry, military and massive transportation areas; caused the existence of the remnant space problematic nature. Especially in cities that are developed very fast, urban outdoor spaces cannot adapt to this process and transform into remnant spaces with generating different problems in daily life. The main theme of the study is to define these problematic urban pieces formally and conceptually in today's upper-modern city context, which is defined with extremism. In the upper-modern city, there are critical changes in public space because of globalization. All the terms and qualifications that are attached to public space; remain incapable because those changes occur in a very fast time period. To explain the upper modern urban space through the scope of anthropology; the urban fabric should produce daily identical interactions, but in upper-modern cities, urban fabric has various losses because of temporary interactions. In the scope of anthropology, the historical and contextual side of the urban space is so valuable, unique, and nominative but in an upper-modern cities, urban space is general and has connectivity problems with its context and close environment. After expanding the meaning of the upper-modern city; remnant space is defined within the interactive relation of the existing similar terms in the international literature. Lands of contempt, empty space, border vacuums, defensible space, lost space, space of uncertainty, awkward space, residual space, gapscape, modern wasteland, and liminal space are associated with the remnant terms. These associated terms helped to explain the remnant space through the emphasis of potentials as new public spaces of the upper-modern cities. The aim of the study is to evaluate the potentials of remnant spaces within the publicity, questioning their spatial offsets in the upper modern city and emphasise the necessity of regenerating these spaces through a theoretical approach that focuses on the human experience. In this context, the Low-Line Railway, which is one of the most important transportation arteries of London, has been examined as a remnant space. The Low-Line refers to the important city flows along the route in between Southwark tube station in the west, London Bridge Station in the east. The most important key approach is to evaluate a remnant space within its unique context to explore its core potential of the remnant space. For this reason, the remnant space is evaluated within its dynamic context by addressing a group of specifications that emphasise the human scale importance as a basis. Resilience; adapting to contextual changes. Placemaking; defining the functional requirements by understanding user needs, regeneration; supporting the remnant space with new values. Social interaction; encouraging active living and recreation. Exemplary; creating an example approach by enhancing biodiversity within the city. Green infrastructure; generating nature-based sustainable solutions for the area. Active pedestrian flow: providing opportunities to reduce the dominance of vehicles. Communication and engagement; getting involved in the user experience, residents, and businesses into the process. Through these criteria, awarded competition projects have been evaluated and potentials of the remnant space have been exposed by enhancing user experience importance.Review Molecular Characterization of Resistance and Virulence Genes in Enterococcus Faecium Strains Isolated Between 2000-2021; Systematic Review(Bilimsel Tip Yayinevi, 2022) Kahraman Kilbas, Elmas Pinar; Kilbas, Imdat; Ciftci, Ihsan Hakki; Kılbaş, Elmas Pınar KahramanIntroduction: The spread of Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) is a major threat in healthcare institutions, especially for patients in the risk group. The aim of this study is to reveal the antibiotic resistance genes, virulence genes and other accompanying factors detected in vancomycin resistant Enterococcus faecium strains isolated from various clinical specimens in different parts of Turkiye. Material and Methods: For this purpose, a systematic search was carried out using different electronic databases between January 2000 and September 2021. A total of 17 studies were evaluated within the scope of systematic review. Results: The vanA gene was detected the most between the years 2000-2007, and no statistically significant difference was found according to the years. The prevalence of the vanB gene was highest between 2008 and 2013, and no statistical difference was found according to the years (p> 0.05). The vanA gene was mostly detected in Eastern Anatolia, Black Sea, Mediterranean and Aegean, vanB Central Anatolia and Southeastern Anatolia regions. No reports related to the vanC gene were found. Since all strains were E. faecium in our study, it is an expected finding that the vanC gene region was never reported. The esp and hyl gene between 2014-2021. Conclusion: The prevalence of resistance and virulence genes among bacteria is a matter of great concern, limiting treatment options. In particular, effective measures should be taken to prevent healthcare-associated VRE infections, and each institution should report its own resistance data.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6An Integrated Methodology Proposal for Sustainable Fashion: Understanding and Examining Criteria Affecting the Second-Hand Clothes Shopping(Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2022) Usta, Saliha Karadayi; Kadaifci, Cigdem; Karadayi-usta, SalihaSustainable fashion is an important movement that offers numerous benefits in the long run by questioning the actual needs of the consumer, selecting the natural fabrics, preferring the brands providing ethical working conditions for the employees, using the acquired clothes as long as possible, repairing when necessary, and recycling into yarn when the lifetime is over, or transforming into a new product by changing the function of the items. In this context, the most active role of consumers is to prefer quality products that can last for many years and to extend the time of the products remaining in use, especially through the purchase and sale of second-hand clothes. While current papers provide roadmaps based on conceptual details, and consumer perception and attitude, there is no comprehensive study in second-hand shopping practices specific to clothing. Hence, the aim of this study is proposing an integrated methodology to understand the criteria that consumers pay attention in second-hand clothes shopping platforms as a tool that makes sustainable fashion possible via literature review, individual interviews and text mining, to determine the weights of these criteria according to their importance via Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) methodology, and to compare the prominent platform alternatives via Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) technique. The criteria weights vary depending on the sustainability awareness of consumers, and on the generation gap.
