16. Yüzyıl Giysi Tarihi Yazımı Üzerine: Giysilerde Doğu-batı Etkileşimi, Egzotizm ve Güç
(2013) Er, Fehmiye Dilek
Moda tarihinde batılı-olmayan giysilerin sunum ve dekorasyonları her zaman fantastik, büyüleyici, epik, dikkat çekici, egzotik, ruhani, zamansız ve değişmez gibi sözlerle ifade edilmiştir. Doğulu giysiler ve görünümler üzerindeki bu yaklaşım batılı anlayışın diğer kültürler üzerindeki yüceliğini, farklılığını ve gücünü gösterme arzusuyla yakından ilişkilidir. 19. yüzyıldan başlamak suretiyle doğunun dikkat çekici sunumları, batı giysi tarihinde batılı olmayan giysilerdeki teknik ustalıklar ve bu giysilerdeki özgün motifler egzotik olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bu amaçla hem giysi tarihi hem de modern moda tarihi yazımında doğunun her zaman egzotik, primitif, öteki ve otantik olma noktasında bir söylem söz konusu olmuştur. Özellikle 16. yüzyıl Osmanlı İmparatorluğu?na ait egzotik giysiler ve kumaş teknikleri aynı dönem Avrupa modasına yoğun bir şekilde adapte edilirken giysiler ihtişamın ve gücün de bir göstergesi olmuşlardır. Bu çalışmada giysi tarihi açısından Osmanlı İmparatorluğu?nun en gösterişli dönemlerinden biri olan 16. yüzyılda giyilen Avrupalı giysilerinde Osmanlı giysi kültürünün izleri, egzotizm kavramı çerçevesinden incelenecektir. Bu çalışmada batılı giysilerdeki egzotik gösterimler aracılığı ile okumalar yapılırken, “egzotizm” kavramı, batıya ait olmayanı anlatma noktasında ele alınacaktır. Çalışma gücün kullanımı ve ihtişamın anlatımı olarak kullanılan lüks kumaşlardan üretilen egzotik giysi ve aksesuarları,16. yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu?nda kullanılan giysilerin aynı dönem Avrupa modasına adapte edilme biçimlerini de içerecektir.
1946-1949 Dönemi Basınına Toplu Bakış*
(2015) Akan, Aysun
Tek Parti iktidarı boyunca siyasal iktidarın sıkı kontrolünde olan basın demokrasiye geçiş dönemi olarak adlandırılan 1946-1949 yıllarında, yasalarda yapılan değişiklerden dolayı rahatlamış ve yeni oluşan siyasal ortamda siyasal mücadelenin bir alanı haline gelmiştir. Anı- lan dönemde yayınlanmaya başlayan gazete ve dergilerin ağırlıklı olarak siyasal içerikli olması basının varolan siyasal çeşitliliği yansıtma konusunda etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Ancak aynı dönemde sanat, edebiyat ve kültür ile ekonomi, ticari ve sanayi alanlarındaki yayınların sınırlılığı ülkenin sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel gelişmişlik seviyesinin bir göstergesidir.
1950-1960 Yıllarında Türkiye ile Sovyetler Birliği Arasındaki İlişkiler
(2014) Kurban, Vefa
Türkiye ile Sovyetler Birliği arasındaki ilk temasların Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın 26 Nisan 1920 tarihinde Lenin’e yazdığı mektupla başladığı söylenebilir ve bu dönem iyi komşuluk ve dostluk ilişkileriyle tanımlanabilir. Mustafa Kemal Paşa’nın vefatı, İkinci Dünya Savaşı’nın başlaması, Stalin’in Türkiye’den toprak talebi ve Boğazlar rejiminde değişiklik talepleri, ayrıca Soğuk Savaş’ın da etkisiyle iki ülke arasındaki ilişkiler farklı boyut kazanmıştır. 1950’li yılların başlarındaki Türk dış siyasetinin esas prensiplerini, bazı Sovyet araştırmacıları, anti-komünizm ve Sovyet karşıtlığı olarak görmekte ve bu durumu eleştirmektedirler. Stalin’in ölümünden sonra Sovyetler Birliği’nin Türkiye’den bundan böyle toprak talebinde bulunmayacağını resmi bir şekilde bildirmesinin yanında, Sovyetler Birliği ile ticari anlaşmalar imzalaması, Türk ve Sovyet siyasileri arasındaki ilişkiler, karşılıklı ziyaret planları Amerika’nın da dikkatinden kaçmamıştır.

1d Convolutional Neural Networks and Applications: a Survey
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2021) Kiranyaz, Serkan; Avcı, Onur; Abdeljaber, Osama; İnce, Türker; Gabbouj, Moncef; Inman, Daniel J.
During the last decade, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have become the de facto standard for various Computer Vision and Machine Learning operations. CNNs are feed-forward Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) with alternating convolutional and subsampling layers. Deep 2D CNNs with many hidden layers and millions of parameters have the ability to learn complex objects and patterns providing that they can be trained on a massive size visual database with ground-truth labels. With a proper training, this unique ability makes them the primary tool for various engineering applications for 2D signals such as images and video frames. Yet, this may not be a viable option in numerous applications over 1D signals especially when the training data is scarce or application specific. To address this issue, 1D CNNs have recently been proposed and immediately achieved the state-of-the-art performance levels in several applications such as personalized biomedical data classification and early diagnosis, structural health monitoring, anomaly detection and identification in power electronics and electrical motor fault detection. Another major advantage is that a real-time and low-cost hardware implementation is feasible due to the simple and compact configuration of 1D CNNs that perform only 1D convolutions (scalar multiplications and additions). This paper presents a comprehensive review of the general architecture and principals of 1D CNNs along with their major engineering applications, especially focused on the recent progress in this field. Their state-of-the-art performance is highlighted concluding with their unique properties. The benchmark datasets and the principal 1D CNN software used in those applications are also publicly shared in a dedicated website. While there has not been a paper on the review of 1D CNNs and its applications in the literature, this paper fulfills this gap. (C) 2020 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Ltd.
2011-2013 Constitution-Making Process and Media Field in Turkey
(2019) Akın, Altuğ; Yaman Akyar, Burcu
This paper examines so-called “Constitutional Process” which took place between 2011 and 2013 in Turkey to eventually fail after more than two years of intense work and rise of expectations both in Turkish society and international community from the perspective of media and communications. How Turkish media influenced the constitution making process including workings of Constitutional Conciliation Commission is discussed, surveying relevant media content or performance with a particular focus on the political economy of Turkish media during that period. Traditional media outlets such as newspapers and television channels, and nowadays largely digital platforms, function as present-day agoras where political agenda is determined and contested. These online and offline channels have different levels of influence on discussions of the political elite, as presented extensively in media and communication studies. Together with the global media environment, national media foster the emergence of its own elites, while maintaining multi-layered relationships with high-level political decision-making processes. Media channels therefore bear symbolic powers that impact political policymaking by employing methods such as agenda setting and framing. In this line of thought, this article approaches Turkish media space as a specific field while its content and its political economy are examined in relation with the constitution making process to reveal the role played by media during highly politicized processes, such as constitution making, as well as eliciting the dynamics that herald such media performance.

25-Hydroxyvitamin Levels in Sjögren’s Syndrome: Is It the Right Time to Dismiss the Case or Not
(Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2024) Sımsır, Ilgın Yıldırım; Tanigor, Goksel; Karabulut, Gonca; Barutcuoglu, Burcu; Yılmaz, Zevcet
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate whether patients with primary Sjögren syndrome (SjS) have different levels of 25 OH-D3 (vitamin D) when compared to healthy populations and whether differences in 25 OH-D3 correlated with disease activity or markers. Methods: Eighty-eight female patients with SjS and 3,338 age-matched healthy female controls were included in this study. 25 OH-D3 levels were compared with healthy controls. Then the patients were stratified according to their 25 OH-D3 levels, either insufficient/deficient or normal (<50 nmol/L or ≥50 nmol/L). The disease activity was evaluated using The EULAR SjS disease activity index (ESSDAI) and its components. Correlation analyses were also performed for a possible correlation with disease characteristics and markers of activity. Results: No differences in 25 OH-D3 levels were found between SjS and healthy populations (p>0.05). No correla- tions were found between patient characteristics or labo- ratory values (p>0.05). Conclusions: This study did not find a link between disease characteristics and disease activity and 25 OH-D3 levels. Prospective studies with more patients should be conducted to reach a conclusion.

2d Model of a Biomass Single Particle Pyrolysis-Analysis of the Influence of Fiber Orientation on the Thermal Decomposition Process
(Mdpi, 2025) Hercel, Paulina; Orhon, Atahan; Jozwik, Michal; Kardas, Dariusz
Understanding the influence of heat transfer on the pyrolysis process is crucial for optimizing industrial biofuel production processes. While numerous scientific studies focus on experimental investigations of pyrolysis using laboratory-scale devices, many neglect the essential role of thermal energy in initiating and controlling thermal decomposition processes. This study presents a transient two-dimensional numerical model of biomass single-particle pyrolysis, which includes the energy balance, mass conservation equations and pyrolysis gas pressure and velocity equations. The model employs explicit numerical methods to manage the high computational demands of 2D transient simulations, but is successfully validated with the use of experimental data found in the literature. The model reflects the heterogeneous structure of wood by using different thermal conductivity coefficients depending on the wooden fibers' orientation. The results demonstrate the impact of fiber orientation on the heat transfer and thermal decomposition processes. The anisotropic properties of wood led to varied temperature fields and pyrolysis decomposition stages, aligning well with experimental data, thus validating the model's accuracy. The proposed approach can provide a better understanding and lead to improvement in biofuel production processes, enabling more efficient and controlled conversion of biomass into fuel. By optimizing the pyrolysis process, it contributes to the development of sustainable energy preservation and regeneration methods, supporting a shift towards more sustainable fuel production patterns using renewable biomass resources like wood.

2db: a Proteomics Database for Storage, Analysis, Presentation, and Retrieval of Information From Mass Spectrometric Experiments
(Biomed Central Ltd, 2008) Allmer, Jens; Kuhlgert, Sebastian; Hippler, Michael
Background: The amount of information stemming from proteomics experiments involving (multi dimensional) separation techniques, mass spectrometric analysis, and computational analysis is ever-increasing. Data from such an experimental workflow needs to be captured, related and analyzed. Biological experiments within this scope produce heterogenic data ranging from pictures of one or two-dimensional protein maps and spectra recorded by tandem mass spectrometry to text-based identifications made by algorithms which analyze these spectra. Additionally, peptide and corresponding protein information needs to be displayed. Results: In order to handle the large amount of data from computational processing of mass spectrometric experiments, automatic import scripts are available and the necessity for manual input to the database has been minimized. Information is in a generic format which abstracts from specific software tools typically used in such an experimental workflow. The software is therefore capable of storing and cross analysing results from many algorithms. A novel feature and a focus of this database is to facilitate protein identification by using peptides identified from mass spectrometry and link this information directly to respective protein maps. Additionally, our application employs spectral counting for quantitative presentation of the data. All information can be linked to hot spots on images to place the results into an experimental context. A summary of identified proteins, containing all relevant information per hot spot, is automatically generated, usually upon either a change in the underlying protein models or due to newly imported identifications. The supporting information for this report can be accessed in multiple ways using the user interface provided by the application. Conclusion: We present a proteomics database which aims to greatly reduce evaluation time of results from mass spectrometric experiments and enhance result quality by allowing consistent data handling. Import functionality, automatic protein detection, and summary creation act together to facilitate data analysis. In addition, supporting information for these findings is readily accessible via the graphical user interface provided. The database schema and the implementation, which can easily be installed on virtually any server, can be downloaded in the form of a compressed file from our project webpage.
3D dendritic spine segmentation using nonparametric shape priors
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2017) Bocugoz E.; Erdil E.; Argunsah A.O.; Unay D.; Cetin M.
Analyzing morphological and structural changes of dendritic spines in 2-photon microscopy images in time is important for neuroscience researchers. Correct segmentation of dendritic spines is an important step of developing robust and reliable automatic tools for such analysis. In this paper, we propose an approach for segmentation of 3D dendritic spines using nonparametric shape priors. The proposed method learns the prior distribution of shapes through Parzen density estimation on the training set of shapes. Then, the posterior distribution of shapes is obtained by combining the learned prior distribution with a data term in a Bayesian framework. Finally, the segmentation result that maximizes the posterior is found using active contours. Experimental results demonstrate that using nonparametric shape priors leads to better 3D dendritic spine segmentation results. © 2017 IEEE.
4483 Sayılı Kanun Uyarınca İtiraz Merciinin "İdari" Niteliği Sorunu
(2024) Karahan, Barış
Memurlar ve diğer kamu görevlilerinin yargılanması konusunda genel kanun niteliği taşıyan 4483 sayılı Memurlar ve Diğer Kamu Görevlilerinin Yargılanması Hakkında Kanun bu kişilerin görevleri sebebiyle işlediği suçların soruşturulmasını kural olarak izne tabi tutmaktadır. İzin vermeye yetkili makam anlamına gelen yetkili merci kararlarının yine “idari” nitelikte olacağı öngörülen itiraz merci kararıyla inceleneceği öngörülmüştür. İtiraz merci eldeki işin bir dava, kendisinin de bir mahkeme olmadığını birçok kararında vurgulamakta ve yaptığı incelemelerde 2577 sayılı İdari Yargılama Usulü Kanununu uygulamayarak bunu teyit etmektedir. Bununla birlikte temel hak ve özgürlüklerin korunması amacı ağır bastığında bu yaklaşımdan sapıldığı görülebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada temel hak ve özgürlüklerin korunması amacı ağır bastığında itiraz merciinin “idari” niteliğinin sürdürülüp sürdürülemeyeceği tartışılmaktadır.

Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia With Focal Cryoablation, Compared With Radiofrequency Ablation: Single-Center Experience
(Arquivos Brasileiros Cardiologia, 2024) Topaloğlu, Caner; Fici, Francesco; Van de Borne, Philippe; Taşkın, Uğur; Doğduş, Mustafa; Saygı, Serkan; Tengiz, İstemihan
Background: The ablation of atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) with cryoablation is an alternative to radiofrequency (RF) ablation in patients due to the low risk of total atrioventricular block. An increase in early-late recurrences after cryoablation is reported as an important disadvantage. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to compare the acute procedural success and the long-term recurrence rates of patients, with AVNRT who underwent methods. Methods: 73 patients with AVNRT were included in the study: 32 with cryoablation and 41 with RF ablation. There was no statistically significant difference between acute procedural success in methods. The ablation procedure was performed by an operator experienced in arrhythmology. The choice of RF or cryoablation was made in the electrophysiology laboratory based on the material already available during the procedure. After the procedure, the patients were evaluated every 3 months for 2 years in polyclinic control. The significance level adopted in the statistical analysis was 5%. Results: The 2 groups of patients were homogeneous. The fluoroscopy time (p<0.001) was shorter, but atrium-his (p=0.004) and his-ventricular (p=0.015) times were longer in the cryoablation group. There was no significant difference, in terms of acute procedural success, post-procedure jump without a single echo, and presence of echo and jump. Conclusions: Cryoablation requires less fluoroscopy time and is a safe non-inferior alternative to RF ablation in patients with AVNRT. The risk of AV block is a significant problem with the use of RF energy, making it less suitable for use in young and physically active patients.

Abnormal Cross Frequency Coupling of Brain Electroencephalographic Oscillations Related To Visual Oddball Task in Parkinson's Disease With Mild Cognitive Impairment
(Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Bayraktaroglu, Zubeyir; Akturk, Tuba; Yener, Görsev; de Graaf, Tom A.; Hanoglu, Lutfu; Yildirim, Ebru; Gunduz, Duygu Hunerli
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder caused by degeneration in dopaminergic neurons. During the disease course, most of PD patients develop mild cognitive impairment (PDMCI) and dementia, especially affecting frontal executive functions. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that PDMCI patients may be characterized by abnormal neurophysiological oscillatory mechanisms coupling frontal and posterior cortical areas during cognitive information processing. To test this hypothesis, event-related EEG oscillations (EROs) during counting visual target (rare) stimuli in an oddball task were recorded in healthy controls (HC; N = 51), cognitively unimpaired PD patients (N = 48), and PDMCI patients (N = 53). Hilbert transform served to estimate instantaneous phase and amplitude of EROs from delta to gamma frequency bands, while modulation index computed ERO phase-amplitude coupling (PAC) at electrode pairs. As compared to the HC and PD groups, the PDMCI group was characterized by (1) more posterior topography of the delta-theta PAC and (2) reversed delta-low frequency alpha PAC direction, ie, posterior-to-anterior rather than anterior-to-posterior. These results suggest that during cognitive demands, PDMCI patients are characterized by abnormal neurophysiological oscillatory mechanisms mainly led by delta frequencies underpinning functional connectivity from frontal to parietal cortical areas.

Absence of Costal Element of the Foramen Transversarium of Atlas Vertebrae: a Case Report
(2018) Hayran, Mürvet; Yonguç, Gökşin Nilüfer; Baylan, Hüseyin
We detected an atlas vertebra of which costal elements of its foramen transversarium were not developed bilaterally. The costal elementis an arch of bone that form the anterior portion of foramen transversarium. The vertebral arteries running towards cranial cavity aresurrounded and protected by foramina transversarium of upper six cervical vertebrae. Surgeons should be aware of this variation beforeoperations to neck region, because the vertebral arteries may easily be injured due to lack of anterior bony protection of the costalelements. As well as the vertebral artery, the nerve plexus around vertebral artery may also be responsible of some complications due tofailure of this bony protection.

Abstinence-Related Motivational Engagement Scale: Validity and Reliability in Turkish People
(Bilimsel Tip Publishing House, 2018) Yavan, Tulay; Gulesen, Asli; Bebis, Hatice
OBJECTIVES: This research aimed to conduct a validity and reliability study of the Turkish version of the abstinence-related motivational engagement (ARME) scale. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study included 122 people and was administered in a smoking cessation clinic. The sociodemographic-smoking status characteristics questionnaire and the ARME scale were used for data collection. A psycholinguistic language adaptation was performed. In the validity, analyses, content, construct, and criterion-related validities were used. For content validity, expert evaluation was performed. For construct validity, principal component analyses (exploratory factor analyses) were performed. Orthogonal (Varimax) rotation was used to explore multiple factors. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test was used to assess the adequacy of the sample size. For criterion-related validity, we compared the ARME scale points of people who were abstinent and had relapse for smoking at the end of the sixth month. In the reliability analysis, standard deviation (SD) and item analysis, internal consistency, and test-retest methods were used. RESULTS: The four factors explain 58% of the total variance. Items have factor loading between 0.409 and 0.805. When the factor structure of the scale was assessed, the items in each factor group have a factor load of at least 0.40. Due to one-dimensional use of the original scale, it has been decided to maintain this scale in its original form. The ARME scale points of people who quit smoking were statistically higher than the points of people who had relapse at the end of the sixth month. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were between 0.846 and 0.763. Significant and positive correlation was found between the test-retest scale scores. CONCLUSION: The Turkish adaptation of the ARME scale, which was developed for adults who quitted smoking, is an adequately valid and reliable measurement instrument. It is considered that the scale might be used reliably in different cultures as well.
