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.Conference Object Sts: AI-Driven Smart Test Scenario Generation Tool(IEEE, 2025) Baglum, Cem; Yayan, UgurOne of the most critical steps in the software testing lifecycle, test scenario generation, reduces process efficiency due to its high time and resource requirements. As an innovative solution to this issue, the Smart Test Scenario Tool (STS) has been developed. Smart Test Scenario Tool (STS) enhances contextual accuracy and automation in test scenario generation by analyzing documents in xlsx, py, cpp, txt, and docx formats using large language models. This approach minimizes time loss, and the risk of errors encountered in traditional manual testing processes while transforming test procedures into a context-driven and systematic framework, offering an innovative contribution to the literature. Strengthened with a Streamlit interface, MongoDB-supported database management, and Ollama integration, the system enables the test scenario generation process, a critical component of the software testing cycle, to be conducted more efficiently and reliably. The validity of the study was confirmed through two distinct projects, the first implemented in Python and the second in C++.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 Reading Basic Design Principles Through Modern Architectural Structures(Nilay Ozsavas Ulucay, 2023) Yıldırım Coruk, İ.; Coruk, Ipek YildirimBasic design principles are taught within the scope of basic design education in the first-year studios. Basic design education and its content have different dimensions from the education system the student previously received due to its structure and difficulty comprehending because it contains new literature for the student and often has abstract educational content. On the other hand, the students have difficulty perceiving the information acquired in this course and question how they can benefit from it in the following years and professional life. Therefore, the aim of the study is to analyze the basic design principles through modern architectural structures. In the study created by qualitative research method, the data were obtained by analyzing the principles mentioned in the determined examples. These examples were selected among the Bauhaus and later modern buildings by considering the role of the Bauhaus school, where the basic design principles emerged in the spread of modern architecture, and the scope of the study was created. As a result of the study, concrete uses and equivalents of basic design principles were revealed with the determined examples. Thus, data on how students will benefit from basic design principles have been revealed. © 2023, Nilay OZSAVAS ULUCAY.

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 Citation - WoS: 1Problems and Insights on Space: the Effects of Phenomenology Theory on the Concept of Space(Yildiz Technical Univ, Fac Architecture, 2020) Ulubay, Serhat; Onal, FerideThis study was an examination of a change in the means and manner of comprehension of the concept of space and the questions it stimulated as a result of the emergence and development of phenomenology theory in the last century. Phenomenology theory is based on the argument that our understanding of phenomena is related to our consciousness and promotes a different and deeper form of comprehension by asking questions about the essence of existence. The movement grew in the early 20th century, and challenged the dominant view of rational reality and Cartesian assumptions. Phenomenology encourages questioning what has been defined as concrete and immutable, arguing that phenomena can be grasped through internal experience rather than simply visible physical appearance and predefined ideas. According to this new concept, all of our acquisitions we call "experience" help us make sense of phenomena. Science makes its inquiries based on adopted and accepted experiences about the world. However, the phenomenological approach suggests that all adopted data, including the fundamentals of science, should also be questioned. The essential objective of the phenomenological philosophy is the extension of the field of questioning to explore the essence of facts and primary phenomena. This radical questioning deeply affected and altered the intellectual agenda of the time. Philosophers discussed and examined the intrinic meaning of many phenomena. The concept of space lends itself to this new kind of assessment. Phenomenology theory, which aims to contribute to the base of scientific knowledge and to increase the critical foundations of philosophy, opened the prevailing semantics of space perceived as an object defined with rational boundaries and mathematical assumptions to discussion. Phenomenological opinion, contrary to the Cartesian way of thinking, argues that space cannot be deliniated by the patterns of a single reality and that an infinite number of descriptors that we discover through our acts and experiences can be applied. This vision of space is discovered through all of our direct life experiences and queries of all realms, including the social and cultural arenas, psychology and the human body, ideas of the self and the question of existence, as well as hard science. Different methodologies applied by philosophers of the phenomenology school of thought diversified the basis of questioning and definition, and thereby enriched the concept of space. This study examines the methods of reading and questioning the definition of space used by phenomenological theorists and the contributions this interpretation brought to the conceptualization of space. The critical approach of the Cartesian way of thinking was compared and contrasted with the phenomenological view. All of the acquisitions and dynamics of life are in a state of constant change. The structure of societies, the way they comprehend the world, cultural and individual mental acts are not fixed like a photograph pausing a moment. A Cartesian view considers space to be a static and frozen object. A primary contribution of phenomenology to the intellectual environment of the last century was to encourage exploration of the fact that the mode of questioning has no boundaries, that the accepted realities cannot constitute the only starting point of our questioning. In addition, it reminded us that all our social and individual experiences are a means to grasp and comprehend the concept of space. We exist in this world through our thoughts, perceptions, memory, and body; therefore, we can comprehend phenomena, including space, via all of our life experience. This study examined how the idea of space has been shaped over time, focusing on the principles of phenomenological questioning and sixteen theorists considered pioneers of this way of thinking. The questioning put forward by phenomenology changes kinetically, and it is possible that such theories of the evaluation of space can be a tool for the diversification of today's thought on the subject and the discovery of news ideas of space.
