    An Interactive Attention Board: Improving the Attention of Individuals With Autism and Mental Retardation
    (Turkish Online Journal Educational Tech-Tojet, 2011) Sahin, Yasar Guneri; Cimen, Fatih Mehmet
    This paper presents a tool named Interactive Attention Board (IAB) and an associated software named Interactive Attention Boards Software (IABS) for individuals with Mental Retardation and Autism. The proposed system is based on several theories such as perception and learning theories, and it is intended to improve hand-eye coordination and attention duration of disabled individuals. Furthermore, the IAB system offers an interactive environment both for disabled individuals and educators, and enables a rapid improvement of disabled individuals' responses to various stimulants, and increases attention duration on a certain object. IAB aims to decrease disabled individuals' reaction time to stimulants, and to increase total concentration and attention period on a single object. Thus, these improvements in the attention help the educator to teach individuals about various cognitive concepts such as long, short, small, big, and colors, as well as educational concepts such as animals, vehicles and professions.

    A Sensor Selection Model in Simultaneous Monitoring of Multiple Types of Disaster
    (Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering, 2019) Sahin, Yasar Guneri
    This paper proposes a conceptual design of priority-based sensor selection model for use in simultaneous monitoring and managing of multiple types of disasters, especially in the detection and response phases. Sensors which measure different types of energy are critical components of real-time monitoring environment in disaster management. Moreover, the use of appropriate sensors in disaster monitoring has vital role in avoiding the production of inaccurate or useless data for management as inappropriate systems result in unreliable detection systems. In addition, building a disaster monitoring system with emergent technology products (sensors) may have significant installation and operational costs, which make the selection of process more crucial; low cost and efficient monitoring systems are likely to be widely adopted. In fact, while data gathered by most of the monitoring systems can be used in different types of disaster detection and response, these systems are usually designed for single type of disaster. In order to reduce the installation and operational costs of monitoring systems and to increase the monitoring availabilities, sensor systems which enable simultaneous monitoring of different disaster types would be beneficial. The proposed model provides also useful preference tables to make appropriate selection of sensor systems according to disaster types.

    Information Technology Asymmetry and Gaps Between Higher Education Institutions and Industry
    (Informing Science Inst, 2020) Sahin, Yasar Guneri; Celikkan, Ufuk
    Aim/Purpose This paper investigates the gaps between industry and academia perceptions of information technology fields, such as computer science, software engineering, and computer engineering, and it identifies areas of asymmetry between curricula and industry expectations. The study mainly focuses on the skills required of IT professionals (graduated students) and on how higher education institutes equip students for industry. Background Higher education institutes have several IT-related departments. However, it is not clear whether these departments have sufficient content to equip students with industry-related skills. Rapid advances mean that some curriculum topics are redundant before the end of a standard two- or four-year degree programs. Balancing the technical/non-technical skills and adjusting the curricula to better prepare the students for industry is a constant demand for higher education institutions. Several studies have demonstrated that a generic curriculum is inadequate to address current IT industry needs. Methodology The study involved a comprehensive survey of IT professionals and companies using a Web-based questionnaire sent directly to individual companies, academics, and employers. 64 universities and 38 companies in 24 countries were represented by the 209 participants, of whom 99 were IT professionals, 72 academics, and 38 employers. Contribution This paper is intended to guide academics in preparing dynamic curricula that can be easily adapted to current industry trends and technological developments, with content directly relevant to student's careers. In addition, the results may identify the skills that students need to secure employment and the courses that will provide skills in line with current industry trends. Findings The results indicate a lack of emphasis on personal and non-technical skills in undergraduate education compared to general computer science, software development, and coding courses. Employers' and software experts' responses emphasize that soft skills should not be ignored, and that, of these, analytical thinking and teamwork are the two most requested. Rather than a theoretical emphasis, courses should include hands-on projects. Rapid developments and innovations in information technologies demand that spiral and waterfall models are replaced with emerging software development models, such as Agile and Scrum development. Recommendations for Practitioners A multidisciplinary approach should be taken to the teaching of soft skills, such as communication, ethics, leadership, and customer relations. Establishing multiple learning tracks in IT education would equip students with specialized knowledge and skills in IT. An effective communication channel should be established between students and industry. It is also important to reduce the distance between academics and students and to provide an interactive environment for technical discussions. Enterprise level computing and Framework use provide job market advantages. Recommendations for Researchers Researchers and department heads, particularly those involved in curriculum design and accreditation, could use the results of this exemplary study to identify key topics for attention. Impact on Society Changes of various degrees are required in the current curricula in many higher education institutions to better meet student needs. Societies and technology are dynamic in nature, and information technology-related curricula in higher education institutions should be equally dynamic. Future Research Since technology (especially information technology) transforms and advances itself so rapidly, this study should be replicated t to investigate how these changes affect the gap between revised curricula and current industry expectations.

    Teachers' Expectations From Computer Technology and Interactive Whiteboard: a Survey
    (2010) Şahin, Yaşar Güneri; Gözde; Gizem; Orhan N.; yücel
    This study investigated the level of technological tools and interactive whiteboards (IWB) usage in teaching, and the teachers' expectations from these IWB technologies. Furthermore, the most challenging problems with IWB systems that the teachers face were also investigated. A total of 527 primary and high schools teachers were selected randomly from 22 different schools and 5 different cities in Turkey, and a survey was administered to all subjects and 486 (n=486) valid questionnaires were returned for analyzing. The results showed that while 75.3% (366 of 486) of the participants use technological tools such as projection devices, educational software and computers, only 36.6% (178 of 486) use IWB systems in their lectures, and only 27.4% (133/486) of the teachers were active IWB users. In addition, some other useful results were gathered, such as the lack of significant gender difference found in the level of technological tool usage, however, significant difference was found according to number of years of teaching experience. © 2010 IEEE.

    An Improved Interactive Whiteboard System: a New Design and an Ergonomic Stylus
    (2010) Sahin Y.G.; Yucel K.; Orhan N.; Misirli G.; Bal G.
    Interactive whiteboards (IWB) are very useful tools to facilitate the understanding of audience, and they have successfully been used for a number of years in the field of education. However, due to the manufacturing expenses and the overheads of required environmental devices, many interactive whiteboard systems (IWBS) are too expensive, and therefore, may not be feasible solutions. However, it is possible to implement IWBs without purchasing additional equipments, thus benefiting from IWBS at a low cost with reduced system requirements. The features of Nintendo Wii Remote Controller (NWRC), such as camera for tracking infrared lights and Bluetooth module for connection, make it very convenient tool for developing an interactive whiteboard system. This system reduces the manufacturing costs, provides a wide-range use, and portability. NWRC has been used in education for many purposes for several years. This paper addresses the solutions of several problems caused by IWBS with NWRC such as ergonomics of the IR pen, reflection problems, and interruption on drawing; thus it proposes very convenient, cost effective, useful interactive whiteboard system that can be used in education. © 2010 IEEE.

    Detection of Hidden Hostile/Terrorist Groups in Harsh Territories by Using Animals as Mobile Biological Sensors
    (Mdpi, 2008) Sahin, Yasar Guneri; Ercan, Tuncay
    Terrorism is the greatest threat to national security and cannot be defeated by conventional military force alone. In critical areas such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Turkey, regular forces cannot reach these hostile/terrorist groups, the instigators of terrorism. These groups have a clear understanding of the relative ineffectiveness of counter-guerrilla operations and rely on guerrilla warfare to avoid major combat as their primary means of continuing the conflict with the governmental structures. In Internal Security Operations, detection of terrorist and hostile groups in their hiding places such as caves, lairs, etc. can only be achieved by professionally trained people such as Special Forces or intelligence units with the necessary experience and tools suitable for collecting accurate information in these often harsh, rugged and mountainous countries. To assist these forces, commercial micro-sensors with wireless interfaces could be utilized to study and monitor a variety of phenomena and environments from a certain distance for military purposes. In order to locate hidden terrorist groups and enable more effective use of conventional military resources, this paper proposes an active remote sensing model implanted into animals capable of living in these environments. By using these mobile sensor devices, improving communications for data transfer from the source, and developing better ways to monitor and detect threats, terrorist ability to carry out attacks can be severely disrupted.

    A public health information system design
    (2011) Şahin, Yaşar Güneri; Çelikkan, Ufuk
    The integration of modern information technologies into health care resulted in development of public health care information systems for the purpose of aiding the medical community by providing for less error prone diagnoses and treatment of diseases. The architecture presented in this paper is an evidence-based health care information infrastructure which collects considerable amounts of reliable, evidence-based data over time from various sources, and that it classifies, interprets and makes the data readily available and accessible to the health care provider before patient consultations. Among many other goals, the proposed system's key objective and contribution is gathering Patients' Ancillary Data (PAD) and incorporating this information into the diagnosis and treatment workflow. The data from medical tests is enriched and complemented by patient ancillary data such as hereditary, residential, travel, custom, meteorological, biographical and demographical data. Automatic provisioning of PAD, another goal of the proposal, helps to diminish problems and misdiagnosis situations caused by language barriers-disorders that frequently prevent the acquisition of patient data. This attribute of the system assists physicians to shorten time for diagnosis and consultations, therefore dramatically improving quality and quantity of the physical examinations of patients. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.

    Real-Time Monitoring Environment To Detect Damaged Buildings in Case of Earthquakes
    (2011) Şahin, Yaşar Güneri; Kabar A.O.; Saglam B.; Tek E.
    Detection of damaged buildings in case of an earthquake is a vital process for rapid response to casualties caused by falling debris before their health deteriorates. This paper presents a system for real time detection of damaged buildings in the case of an earthquake, using video cameras to supply information to national disaster management centers. The system consists of video cameras which monitor buildings continuously, an algorithm to detect damaged buildings rapidly using video images, and a database to store data concerning sound and damaged buildings. The detection method used in the system is applicable for local areas only (several small buildings or one big building), but it may provide accurate information about the buildings immediately after a disaster. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
