Kara, Abdulkadir; Kara, Zeynep Avinc; Yildirim, Serkan
In measurement and evaluation processes, natural language responses are often avoided due to time, workload, and reliability concerns. However, the increasing popularity of automatic short-answer grading studies for natural language responses means such answers can now be measured more quickly and reliably. This study aims to build models for predicting automatic short answer scores using the pre-trained BERT deep learning language model and to reveal their effectiveness. For this purpose, two different score prediction models were created using an answerbased approach that aligns student answers with expert judgements and a referencebased approach that matches student answers with reference answers. The dataset includes answers from 246 Physics department students responding to 4 physicsrelated questions. The performance of these models was evaluated on four physics questions representing varying levels of cognitive complexity, using Cohen's Kappa for statistical comparison of agreement with expert scores. Our findings reveal a clear interaction between model architecture and task complexity. The answer-based model was unequivocally superior for the most complex, multi-class task, effectively capturing diverse, nuanced responses. Conversely, the reference-based model demonstrated a statistically significant advantage for a well-defined, mediumcomplexity binary task. This study concludes that the optimal model for ASAG in Turkish is contingent on the cognitive demands of the assessment task, suggesting that a onesize-fits-all solution may not be the most effective approach. This provides a critical framework for practitioners, demonstrating not only that effective models are feasible for complex languages, but that their selection must be guided by task complexity.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2025THE ROLE OF CAPITAL FLOWS IN THE INTERNATIONAL TRANSMISSION OF US MONETARY POLICY: THE CASE OF TURKEY
Akar, Nuri Cagri; Varlik, Cemil
This article aims to examine the impacts of US monetary policy (MP) changes on the Turkish economy. A Structural Vector Autoregressive (SVAR) model is estimated for the period 2002:01-2017:12, during which a flexible exchange rate regime was adopted in the Turkish economy. According to the impulse-response analysis, the Turkish interest rate responds positively and significantly to the US Effective Federal Funds Rate (EFFR). AThis result shows that the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey's (CBRT) MP follows the FED's MP, consistent with the dilemma hypothesis of Rey (2015). The analysis also demonstrates that both the EFFR and the VIX have a negative impact on net total capital inflows to the Turkish economy. The impulse-responses for the three components of net capital inflows indicate important conclusions. Firstly, neither EFFR nor VIX has a significant impact on Net Foreign Direct Investment (NFDI) inflows. Secondly, Net Portfolio Investments (NPI) respond significantly to the VIX but not to the EFFR. Thirdly, Net Other Investments (NOI) respond significantly to the EFFR but not to the VIX. These findings indicate that the NOI component plays a direct and major role in the emergence of the US MP's spillover effects on the Turkish MP.

Turk, Bahar; Yildiz, Tugba; Dursun, Mehmet Tahir
Within the context of tourism-related activities, numerous factors may influence a traveller's choice of destinations. Therefore, it is crucial to understand which factors will mostly influence destination selection. It is common knowledge that in a destination selection process, people are likely to visit sites they believe are worthwhile. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used in the study, and the data were collected from twelve experts, including six academicians of tourism and destination marketing, and six tour guides with more than ten years of experience in the sector. The research aims to determine the priority order of consumption values in determining the preferences of tourists for the destinations they have selected. The results show that epistemic value was the most important factor in determining a tourist's choice of destination. Moreover, it was found that the following dimensions, namely functional value, i.e., worth the money, emotional value, i.e., feel secure, social value, i.e., meet friendly and hospitable people, epistemic value, i.e., providing novelty experiences, and conditional value, i.e., personal safety have also been given priority. By identifying the priorities of a tourist in the destination selection process, it is envisaged that tourism businesses operating in tourist destinations will be able to provide better value-added activities, such as in food and beverage, lodging, entertainment, and travel agencies. In providing theoretical and empirical information for those involved in the sector, a more efficient process is thus ensured. With the help of this knowledge of what is expected of tourists as consumers, it will be easier to develop comprehensive strategies and solutions.

Akyüz, Ahmet Mutlu; Durmus, Ibrahim
It is essential for young Turkish individuals (university students) to rapidly develop their skills and abilities to take on leadership roles in society. To become well-equipped individuals who contribute to societal welfare and development, these young adults must undergo a healthy adolescent maturity process. Therefore, providing a supportive environment for Turkish adolescents during their maturation is crucial. This study investigates how fulfilling all hierarchical needs (PSN, LBN, ESAN) affects Turkish adolescents' life satisfaction (LS) and their personal (PM), familial (FM), and social (SM) maturity levels. The study sample consists of 397 Turkish university students. The proposed research model was tested using PLS-SEM analysis. The findings indicate that fulfilling all hierarchical needs positively affects life satisfaction. Additionally, life satisfaction serves as a mediator between the fulfillment of hierarchical needs and maturity levels. However, the most fundamental physical and security needs are not adequately met, hindering personal maturity. Furthermore, love and belonging needs and esteem and self-actualization needs positively impact all maturity levels.

Sadik, Ramin
Seizing the opportunity created by the revolutions in Russia, the three South Caucasian peoples declared their independence in 1918 and wanted to be part of the new order after World War I. At the same time, they engaged in an intense debate about their livingspace and the disputed borders between them. Azerbaijan followed a more restrained policy than the other two and favoured a negotiated settlement of the conflicts. Meanwhile, Georgia and Armenia went to war over the border dispute between them, and the region witnessed bloody confrontations for this reason. The dream of 'Greater Armenia' of the Dashnak Party, which is in power in Armenia, has been the main cause of the conflicts in the region. Dashnak's unending ambitions, its territorial claims against both neighbours and its preference for an armed rather than a political solution turned it into the main perpetrator of the turmoil. Consequently, the Armenian leadership's provocative actions against Georgia led to a fierce war between the two countries in December 1918. The war, which continued for three weeks, was halted by the intervention of Britain and France and ended with a peace treaty. This study focuses on the wars that took place between Armenia and Georgia in 1918. Within the scope of the study, the documents ofthe Georgian Central Historical Archive were examined, news, comments and analyses in the Georgian, Russian and Azerbaijani press of the period were meticulously scanned, and memoirs were examined. At the same time, as a result of reading, collating and evaluating the second-hand sources written on the subject, the study has been transformed into an original academic article.

Hasanov, Behram
This article analyzes three sociology of religion textbooks commonly taught in the faculties of Theology and Islamic Sciences in Turkey through content analysis to examine how the relationship between sociological analysis and theological arguments is established in these works and to what extent this relationship overlaps with the scientific framework of sociology of religion. The study finds that apologetic tendencies towards Islam are common in these textbooks and that the boundaries between sociological analysis and theological arguments are blurred. The study analyzes two prominent themes in the textbooks: (1) constructing a positive narrative of Islam and (2) advocacy based on sacred and academic authorities. The first theme emphasized that Islam is compatible with contemporary values and emphasized positive examples of Islam and avoided negative or controversial examples. At the same time, it was also found that Muslim societies advocated against the association of negative examples with Islam and emphasized the positive aspects of Islam in comparison with other religions. Within the framework of the second theme, it was determined that the defense of Islam was based on sacred texts and positive evaluations of Western social scientists. Instead of empirical data and sociological methods, direct reference was made to sacred texts, and the positive views of Western social scientists on Islam were selectively conveyed. As a result, the textbooks examined violate the methodological principles of sociology and produce a religious defense discourse. The study emphasizes that the sociology of religion literature in T & uuml;rkiye should be re-evaluated based on scientific objectivity.

Güzel, Ferdi
D & icirc;v & acirc;nu Lug & acirc;ti't-T & uuml;rk (DLT) is the very first work that provides information about Turkish dialects. The information given in the work concerning the dialects of that era and their distinctive features hold immeasurable value for the field of Turkish language studies. Besides the Hakaniye dialect, which was the literary language at that time, DLT comprises various information about several Turkish dialects. More than half of the records concerning dialects other than Hakaniye are about Oghuz dialect. Kasgarli often compared the Karakhanid written language with the Oghuz dialect. It isquite understandable to find more information about the Oghuz Turks' dialect than other dialects in DLT because the Seljuk State that managed to become the most powerful state in the Turkish-Islamic geography from the second half of the 11th century onward was the state of the Oghuzs. The vocabulary of the Oghuz dialect presented by Kasgarli in the DLT overlaps substantially with the modern Oghuz dialects. This research focuses on the words a & eng;, etrek, keri & scedil;, k & ouml;n & ccedil;ek, s & ouml;r & ccedil;ek, and yor & imath;g & ccedil;& imath;, all of which are recorded in DLT as Oghuz.

Purpose: The current study aimed compare short and long-term metformin users according to sociodemographic characteristics and to examine the relationships between fatigue, tachycardia and psychological well-being. Materials and Methods: In cross-sectional study were reached 92 patients, 46 short-term and 46 long-term metformin users. It was measured fatigue with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Treatment Fatigue Scale (FACIT-F), tachycardia with saturation device, well-being with the World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5). Results: For the group using short-term metformin, the mean; year of metformin use was 1.82 +/- 0.77 and pulse rate was 82.48 +/- 8.80, FACIT-F score was 20.37 +/- 7.25, and WHO-5 score was 15.70 +/- 3.23. The group using long-term metformin mean year of metformin use was 5.93 +/- 2.68, pulse rate was 84.57 +/- 9.64, FACIT-F score was 25.33 +/- 5.65 and WHO-5 score was 12.63 +/- 3.70. Well-being negatively correlated with the year of diabetes, year of metformin use, pulse rate and fatigue. FACIT-F, metformin year and pulse rate explain a total of 41.9% of the variance in well-being. FACIT-F ((3=-.51, t=-5.82, p= .000) and the year of metformin use ((3=-.19, t=-2.12, p= .037) significantly decrease well-being, while pulse rate does not have a significant effect on well-being. Conclusions: Long-term use of metformin has been found cause fatigue and negative psychological well-being. Fatigue, year of metformin use and pulse rate number are important predictors of psychological well-being in Type II diabetes patients using metformin.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ2Academic Freedom Across Liberal Arts Colleges in Europe
Elgin, Ceyhun
This paper develops a novel index to assess academic freedom within liberal arts colleges (LACs) in Europe, addressing a critical gap in current higher education assessments. Existing university rankings largely overlook academic freedom, an essential element for fostering intellectual inquiry and democratic values. Using a mixed-methods approach-combining legal analysis, surveys, events data, media reviews, and social media analysis-the study constructs a comprehensive tool that captures both overt and subtle forms of academic repression. Findings reveal significant disparities in academic freedom among European LACs, influenced by governance structures, institutional policies, and external pressures such as political interference. The index not only highlights these differences but also offers a framework for policy development and institutional reform. By emphasizing academic freedom as a foundational pillar of higher education, this research calls for stronger institutional commitments and policy frameworks to safeguard it. The index can serve as a model for broader applications beyond the European context, informing global debates on academic autonomy.

Topcu, Muhammed Taha; Tozlu, Alperen; Bilen, Kadir
This paper presents a thermoeconomic analysis of the Dual-Loop Organic Rankine Cycle (DORC) integrated into the Erzurum Mall Power Plant (EMPP). The DORC system is designed to utilize waste heat at 425 degrees C and 9 kg/s, producing additional power for the existing plant. The integration of dual-loop ORC systems with different critical temperature fluids into an operational facility is analyzed. High-temperature cycles use working fluids such as Toluene, MDM (octamethylcyclotrisiloxane), n-Nonane, and n-Octane, while refrigerants R236fa, R600a, and R124 are employed in the low-temperature cycles. The designed model demonstrates that up to 11.4 % of the plant's existing capacity can be added as extra power. The Toluene/R600a combination is identified as the best fluid pair, delivering the highest total net power output (653.4 kW), the lowest total cost rate (19.18 $/h), and the highest exergy efficiency (20.18 %). Optimization of the DORC system is performed using the NSGA-II in MATLAB. For the toluene/R600a pair, the optimization results show an increase of 13.52 % in the net power output and decrease of 1.48 % in the total cost rate, which is a significant improvement over the initial results.

Yavuz, Mehmet; Balat, Sener; Kayali, Bunyami
Rapid changes in the field of technology have greatly affected learning and teaching styles as in every field. Artificial intelligence (AI), which is increasingly used in the field of education for different purposes such as improving learning outcomes or solving teaching problems, is one of the important technologies that contribute to this change. It is thought that there is a need for applications based on AI technology that can meet these needs in terms of sustainability of learning, especially in ODE environments where individual learning and instant feedback are important. Accordingly, the study aims to determine the impact of AI-supported flipped classroom applications on students' AI literacy and to evaluate their experiences and perceptions towards these applications. Explanatory sequential mixed design was used as the method in the study. In this context, in the quantitative phase of the study, a one-group pretest-posttest design from the weak experimental design was used to determine students' perceptions of flipped learning and AI literacy levels. In the qualitative phase of the study, a case study was used to determine students' views on learning experiences. The sample comprised 33 university students enrolled in a Web Design and Coding associate degree program. Data were collected through a flipped learning perception scale, an AI literacy scale, and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative findings revealed a statistically significant improvement in students' AI literacy levels from pre-test to post-test. Qualitative analyses indicated that AI-supported flipped classroom practices positively influenced students' motivation, interest in the course, and personalized learning experiences. Furthermore, the model fostered collaboration by promoting interactive learning environments and enhanced critical thinking and problem-solving skills. However, students also reported challenges related to managing their time effectively within this instructional model. The study concludes that AI-supported flipped classroom applications hold promise for improving AI literacy and fostering active, student-centered learning in higher education. Nevertheless, challenges such as time management warrant further attention. It is recommended that future research explore the implementation of this model across diverse courses and educational contexts, investigate strategies to mitigate time management issues, and conduct comparative studies between AI-supported and traditional flipped classroom models to further elucidate the sources of observed positive perceptions.

Kabak, Turgay
When looking at studies on folk beliefs in Turkey, we generally find two types of publications. The majority of research focus on revealing the origins of folk beliefs, I which identified through fieldwork, in old Turkish religion and mythology, and I establishing connections between the past and the present. The studies in the second group involve analyses of folk beliefs collected from one region of Turkey with those from other regions, or with folk beliefs from different regions of the Turkic world using a comparative method. There are scarcely any studies that address the functional dimension of folk beliefs and examine them from this perspective. The existing studies are quite narrow in scope. There is no study that extensively examines folk beliefs collected from a specific region according to the functional theory, as done in this study, which is one of the context-centered theories used by many researchers in the field of folklore. In this study, folk beliefs obtained through the field collection method from the district of Yomra, located in the Trabzon province of the Eastern Black Sea I region of Turkey, were analyzed according to functional theory. As a result of the I examination conducted, it has been found that the folk beliefs in the region have eleven functions which are: helping to protect public health, assisting public veterinary, protecting from evil spirits and beings, ensuring abundance and prosperity and protecting from famine, bringing good luck and averting bad luck, predicting and directing natural phenomena, transferring intangible cultural heritage, helping to make prophecy, establishing a connection with sacred, reconciling the old and the new, and securing social unity. Thus, the folk beliefs of a region have been examined for the first time with a holistic approach, from a functional perspective, and a model is developed that can be applied to other regions as well as folk beliefs will remain.

The city of Erzurum has always maintained its feature of being one of the most important cities of the region in terms of military, trade and culture and art throughout history. Being geographically at the junction of important civilizations and being at the transition point of these civilizations has not only preserved this feature but also caused its cultural and artistic richness to be very diverse and of high standards. The city, which was the gateway to Anatolia for the Turks, was also the city where the first Turkish architectural works were built. Structures such as the Ulu Mosque, the Twin Minarets and the Yakutiye Madrasahs not only raised the building standards of the architectural tradition in this city to a very high level, but also became a reference for later structures in terms of building standards. The high building standards that began with the Saltukids and Ilkhanids gained new momentum in the 16th century. After this transformation, very large foundations were established in the city and intensive construction activities began. Many valuable structures were added to the city in the construction activities that continued uninterruptedly until the Republic period. One of these is the & Ccedil;ortan Mosque, which is thought to have been built in the 1850s. The mosque with wooden pillars and wooden beams is a structure that greatly reflects the architectural tradition of Erzurum and the characteristics of the period in which it was built. With this study, both the cultural and artistic characteristics of the structure will be determined and brought to the literature, and the restoration conveyed in detail.

Aksakalli, Ayhan
This article explores how Third Way policies have weakened class consciousness in education and how a Marxist model of education offers a powerful alternative to this weakening. By blending neoliberal approaches with social democracy, the Third Way promotes individualistic and market-oriented reforms in education, which have been found to deepen class inequalities and weaken class consciousness. These policies make the education system an instrument of capitalist ideology and hinder the achievement of social justice. The article argues that the Marxist model of education has the potential to reverse this weakening and rebuild class consciousness in education. This model is built on collective consciousness, the importance of critical pedagogy and the need for democratization in education. Education should be transformed from a system that prioritizes individual achievement into a tool for social justice. The research analyzes in detail the destructive effects of neoliberal education policies on class structures and demonstrates that Marxist education offers an effective solution to these inequalities. As a result, it is emphasized that the education system should be restructured as a tool to strengthen class consciousness and ensure social transformation.
