    Bilişsel Psikoloji Perspektifinden Muhaddislerde Tenkit Metodu

    Bogha, Asmaa Al

    Bu araştırma, hadis tenkit yöntemini içeren İslami bilgiler aracılığıyla psikolojik durumları okumayı ele almaktadır. Çünkü uygulamalı hadis çalışmaları münekkidin, psikolojik terimleri kullanmasa da bilişsel psikoloji alanına yönelik değerlendirmeler yaptığına işaret ediyor. Hadisleri kabul veya reddetmede bilişsel psikoloji ilmiyle ilgili bu bilimsel kuralların uygulanması, konularının insan olması sebebiyle bu iki ilim arasında bir benzerlik olduğunu ortaya koyar. Dikkat, ezber, hafıza ve ölçüm testleri gibi bilinçsel süreçlerle ilgili bazı hususlar ve bu süreçlerin odak noktası olan insan psikolojisiyle ilgili, yetenekler, motivasyonlar ve onları etkileyen dengesizlikler gibi konularda her iki ilim karşılaştırıldı. Sonra birleştikleri ve ayrıldıkları noktaları tespit etmek için tenkit yönteminde muhaddislerden ve psikoloji ilmindeki araştırmacıların çalışmalarından örnekler sunuldu. Sonuç olarak çıkış noktası ve sonuç bakımından farklılıklar gösterseler de zihinsel eylemler ile ilgili konular bakımından iki ilim arasında kısmi bir benzerlik olduğu sonucuna ulaşıldı. Hadis münekkitlerinin sika tarifinin gerçekleşmesi için zabt şartı, psikologların bahsettiği dikkat anlamını içermektedir. Ancak sevap ve günah gibi şeri' sebeblerden dolayı muhaddisler bu konuda daha seçici davranmışlardır. Bilişsel psikolojide araştırmacılar, insanın zihinsel becerilerinin dikkat ve odaklanma becerisinde rol oynadığını kanıtlamışlardır. Ravilerden makbul olanı diğerlerinden ayırt etmek için raviler arasında karşılaştırma yapan hadis münekkitlerinin dikkati de bu noktada yoğunlaşmıştır.

    Öğretmen Adaylarının Yaratıcılık Kavramı Üzerine Görüşleri

    Tasyürek, Zeynep

    Yaratıcılık, insanın kendi duyuş ve hayal gücü ile özgür ve özgün bir dünya tasarlamasıdır. Bu araştırma, öğretmen adaylarının yaratıcılık üzerine görüşlerinin alınmasını ve okullardaki yaratıcılık algısının öğretmen adayı gözüyle tespit edilmesini amaçlamıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden temel nitel araştırma deseni tercih edilmiştir. Örneklem seçiminde ise katılımcılara, neredeyse nitel araştırma ile eşanlamlı görülen ve yargısal örnekleme olarak da bilinen amaçlı örnekleme yöntemlerinden ölçüt örneklem kullanılmıştır. Öğretmen adaylarının yaratıcılık ile ilgili görüşlerini derinlemesine incelemek amacıyla araştırmacı tarafından yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu geliştirilmiş ve veri toplama aracı olarak kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılı, eğitim fakültesi, sınıf öğretmenliğinde okuyan dördüncü sınıf öğretmen adayları oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın katılımcıları 28’i kız, 17’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 45 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Öğretmen adaylarının hayallerindeki yaratıcı okulda ilk sırada, okulun ve sınıfın öğrenci ile birlikte oluşturulmuş belli köşelerinin olması yer almıştır. İkinci sırada, doğa ile iç içe olması yer alırken, sonrasında ise öğrenciler derslere göre sınıfların olması, okul ve bahçede oyun alanlarının ve atölyelerin olması, organik bahçesinin ve kütüphanesinin olması gibi hayallerindeki okul anlayışına yer vermişlerdir. Verilen tablonun diğer kısmında da atık malzemelerle okul etrafı şekillendirilmeli, insan yetiştirmeli, teneffüs saatleri olmamalı ve ders-teneffüs içi içe koordineli yürümeli, okul ismi farklı ve beden eğitimi dersinde matematik işlenmeyen bir okul olmalı ifadeleri yer almıştır. Elde edilen veriler sonucunda öğretmen adayları okullara ve üniversitelere yaratıcılık ile ilgili dersler konulması ve eğitim programlarının esnek olması ve yaratıcılığı teşvik etmesi, okul ve öğretmenin zamana göre kendilerini yenileyebilmesi, öğretmen adayları, öğretmen ve müdürlere yaratıcılık üzerine hizmet içi eğitim verilmesi gibi önerilerde bulunmuşlardır.

    CYB mtDNA mutations and expression status of genes in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in patients with schizophrenia

    Dirican, Ebubekir; Uzunçakmak, Sevgi Karabulut; Özcan, Halil

    Purpose: This study aimed to screen for cytochrome b (CYB) mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations and analyze the mRNA expressions of genes in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in patients with schizophrenia. Materials and Methods: In this study, whole blood was obtained from 44 schizophrenic patients and 41 healthy individuals for DNA (patients) and RNA (patients and control) isolation. Samples for CYB mtDNA mutations were amplified by PCR and identified by Sanger DNA sequencing. RT-PCR and 2- increment increment Ct method was used for mRNA expression of PIK3CA, AKT1, and mTOR genes. Results: In schizophrenia patients, m.15326 A > G (43/44), m.15452 C > A (5/44), m.15078 A > G (3/44), m.14872 C > T (3/44) and m.14798 T > C (3/44) was the most common CYB mtDNA mutations. In silico analysis showed that some of the mutations were associated with the harmful, disease-causing or benign character. The mRNA expression of the PIK3CA, AKT1, and mTOR genes in schizophrenia patients was significantly higher than in healthy individuals. There was a significant moderate positive correlation between the PIK3CA and AKT1 genes. In addition, by ROC analysis, PIK3CA, AKT1 and mTOR genes were found to have good diagnostic power in the patient group. ROC analyzes showed that PIK3CA in particular has significant diagnostic value for schizophrenia patients with 80% sensitivity and 63.4% specificity. Conclusion: Both of CYB mtDNA mutations frequency and PIK3CA, AKT1 and mTOR mRNA expression were higher in schizophrenic patients compared to healthy individuals. We believe that studying these mechanisms in

    Impact of gossypin on gene expression of HSP60 and HSP70 in different cancer cell lines

    Dirican, Ebubekir; Çinar, Trfan

    Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of gossypin on the expression level of heat shock proteins (HSPs) genes in different cancer cells. Materials and Methods: Cells were grown under standard culture conditions. Cancer cells were treated with different concentrations (5-100 mu g/ml) of gossypin and cisplatin (50 mu M) as positive control. Cell viability and effective dose range (5-100 mu g/ml) of gossypin were determined by MTT at 24, 48 and 72 hours. After RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis, HSP60 and HSP70 gene expression levels were analyzed using RT-PCR. For gene expression analysis, the 2-(Delta Delta ct) method was used. Results: According to the Mil results, 25-50-100 mu g/ml of gossypin doses were found effective on HSP60 and HSP70 gene expression levels in the cancer cell lines. Gossypin affected with dose-dependently the expression of HSP60 and HSP70 in the three cell lines. In the three cell lines, 50 mu g/ml and 100 mu g/ml of gossypin doses significantly reduced the expression of HSP60 and HSP70 compared to control group. Conclusion: Our results strongly supported the anticarcinogenic effect of gossypin at various doses in different cell lines. However, we believe that further in vivo research and human studies are needed. Our findings suggest that gossypin could be suitable candidate agent for further investigation to develop new strategies for the prevention and/or treatment of different cancer types.

    Comparative Analysis of Migrant Integration Policies of Turkiye and Selected Countries

    Ustabulut, Mete Yusuf; Boylu, Emrah; Basar, Umut

    Turkiye's migrant integration policy, which is one of the most migration-receiving countries in the Middle East owing to regional conflicts during the 2000s, is assessed alongside that of other receiving nations in the Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX). These index ranks nations in eight key categories: labor market mobility, family reunion, education, health, political participation, permanent residence, access to nationality, and anti-discrimination. This study examines Turkiye's change in migration policy ratings by comparing the index 2015 and 2020 with six European countries (Germany, Belgium, France, Norway, Finland, Sweden). It is found that there was a significant disparity in index scores between Turkiye and these European countries in the 2015 MIPEX report; however, this difference has narrowed in the 2020 report. Turkiye's migrant integration policy rankings have improved substantially (+17), according to the 2020 report. As a result, Turkiye's policy indicator has increased from slightly unfavourable to halfway favourable . Although this score and increase are not at the desired level, they may indicate comprehensive improvements in Turkiye's integration policies in the following report.

    Investigation of the effect of gossypin on MMP-2 and MMP- 9 genes in prostate cancer cells

    Dirican, Ebubekir; Çinar, Irfan

    Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the effects of gossypin on matrix metalloproteinases -2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 genes in prostate cancer cells. Materials and Methods: PC3 cells were grown in culture and treated with three different concentrations of gossypin (25-50-100 mu g/ml) and cisplatin (50 mu M) as a positive control. First, RNA isolation was performed. Then, cDNA synthesis was performed and RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes. Results: Gossypin decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression in prostate cancer cells in a concentrationdependent manner. Three concentrations (25-50-100 mu g/ml) of gossypin in PC3 cells reduced the mRNA expression of the MMP-2 gene. While the fold change value of MMP-2 gene expression was 0.3482 +/- 0.040 in the 100 mu g/ml gossypin group, it was 1.007 +/- 0.1425 in the control group. In addition, 50 mu g/ml and 100 mu g/ml concentrations of gossypin decreased the mRNA expression of the MMP-9 gene. The expression level of the MMP-9 gene in prostate cancer cells was 0.4740 +/- 0.038 in the 100 mu g/ml gossypin administered group, while it was 1.009 +/- 0.1687 in the control group. There was a positive correlation between the expressions of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, it is seen that gossypin reduces the expression of MMP-2 and MMP9 genes in prostate cancer cells and the effects of gossypin on other genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in cancer need to be investigated to reveal the anti-cancer.

    Exploring Problem Areas of Elderly Patients with Diabetes and the Support Provided by Their Family

    Dastan, Buket; Hintistan, Sevilay

    Objective: Diabetes increases problems in emotional areas particularly among the elderly patients by aggravating negative emotions such as loss, anxiety and fear and makes these patients need higher level of family support. This study aims at exploring problematic areas of the elderly diabetic patients and their family support levels. Methods: The data of this descriptive study were collected by the researcher by conducting a face to face interview with 218 elderly diabetic patients who presented to Endocrine Polyclinics of State Hospital between October 2015 and October 2016. To collect the data, Patient Information Form, Problem Areas in Diabetes Scale (PAID) and Hensarling's Diabetes Family Support Scale (HDFSS) were used. Results: Although problem areas among the patients were found to be fewer than expected; it was found that there were significant differences between problem areas and sex, diabetes time, treatment type, length of oral antidiabetic medicine use and insulin use, development of diabetes-related complication and hospitalization due to these complications in the recent year (p<0.05). Besides, the family support levels of the elderly patients were below the moderate level, and the number of individuals the patients live together with, the number of people receiving support due to diabetes and the number of people who received support from their spouses because of diabetes was a significant variable that affected HDFSS total score and the subscale scores (p<0.05). Conclusion: For a better diabetes management, sex and diabetes related variables should be taken into consideration while delivering health services and increasing family support levels can make positive contributions to the mood of the elderly patients.

    Irdemez, Sahset; Yesilyurt, Duygu; Torun, Fatma Ekmekyapar; Kul, Sinan

    In this study, treatment of lead containing wastewater using sewage sludge ash obtained from the incineration unit in the domestic wastewater treatment plant in Gaziantep province in Turkey was investigated. The main purpose of the study is to determine the potential of using the treatment sludge ash, which comes out as waste in the treatment plant, in the treatment of wastewater of another industry. As a result of this study, the most suitable adsorption conditions were determined and focused on the kinetics of adsorption. In the experiments, the lead adsorption capacity of sewage sludge ash was determined as 122 mg g-1 at 0.5 g L-1 adsorbent concentration in wastewater containing 100 mg L-1 Pb2+under optimum conditions. As a result of the research, it was determined that the adsorption reaction proceeds according to the pseudo second degree reaction and is suitable for the Langmuir isotherm. As thermodynamic constants, & UDelta;H & DEG; = 7.407 kJ mol-1 and & UDelta;S & DEG; = 33.25 J mol-1 were determined. As a result of this, it was determined that the adsorption reaction was endothermic, spontaneous and random, and adsorption was physical adsorption. The results show that sewage sludge ash can be used in the treatment of water containing high concentrations of Pb2+.

    THE NEXUS BETWEEN SOCIAL UNREST AND MIGRANT REMITTANCES: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM GEORGIA

    Ari, Yilmaz Onur; Koç, Umit

    The paper examines the social unrest and migrant remittances relationship for Georgia using monthly time series data covering January 2007- July 2019. The Granger Causality Test was employed in the application of the econometric technique. Frequency domain causality test was also used in order to empower the findings of the study. The empirical findings showed that there is a bidirectional causality between the reported social unrest index (RSUI) and the remittance inflow to Georgia. Besides, frequency domain causality test results indicated that RSUI was the Granger cause of remittance inflow in the medium term (7-10 months), while remittance inflow was the Granger cause of RSUI in the short term (2-6 months). Social unrest comprises protests based on basic economic needs such as food, gas, electricity etc. Therefore, social unrest can be a supportive factor of remittances inflow to Georgia. This is in line with the view that remittances sent by Georgian immigrants to their families in Georgia are used for consumption rather than investments. On the other hand, remittances can be a determinant of social unrest for Georgia because the existence of separatist movements in Abkhazia and former South Ossetia can be interpreted as remittances can be an important source to fund these movements.

    Crafts and Craftmanship in Bayburt Province as an Example of the Problems Faced in Transmission of Intangible Cultural Heritage

    Kabak, Uyesi Turgay

    Trading is one of the first planned and organized activities that mankind put forward after his life on earth started. Because human beings are not a being that can meet all their needs by themselves. They also need what other people produce in order to survive. People all over the world have developed different organizations in order to meet this need, which has led to the birth of trade, professions and money flow. The Ahiorder organization developed by the Turks in Anatolia and its surroundings and the craftsmen within this organization met all the goods and services needed by the Turkish people in the past with an intensive way of working. However, these crafts and the activities of the craftsmen performing these should not be considered merely as commercial activities. Because a very rich tangible and intangible cultural heritage has also been formed around these activities. The purpose of this study is to examine the situation of the five facing extinction among the handicrafts in Bayburt province, which are one of the first forms of production and have a production process intensive by hand. Document analysis and field research methods, which are among qualitative research methods, were used in this study. Observation and interview techniques were used in the field research. Then, the data obtained were examined in the light of the relevant literature and it was determined that even in the province of Bayburt, where traditional life continues to a certain extent compared to other big cities, crafts and craftsmen cannot compete with the industrial and commercial power of modern times and are about to disappear. The situation revealed by this result does not only mean the disappearance of some crafts. It is seen that a wide-ranging traditional knowledge of the craftsmen who carry out this craft, from learning the profession to its execution, from selling to the public to the professional law among tradesmen, has begun to disappear without being transmitted to future generations. The disappearance of professional knowledge, which is one of the important corners of the national culture and accepted by UNESCO in the intangible cultural heritage list within the framework of various conventions, also shows that we are facing with great problems in the transmission of our intangible cultural heritage to the future generations in our country in general and in Bayburt in particular. Today, the products that are the concrete output of the crafts are taken under protection by amateurs, museums and various institutions in our country, even if they are disconnected from their context; however, it is not enough to keep only materials in order to keep the cultural value of these crafts alive. The materials must be kept alive with the context of the production process. Only in this way can the cultural codes in the professional knowledge be transmitted to the future generations and brought to the world cultural heritage. The point of the study is that if it is late in the province of Bayburt, this intangible cultural heritage will become extinct together with the craftsmen who are the last representatives of their profession. In this regard, it was remarked that this process can be reversed with the projects in which the official institutions, the experts employed at the universities and the Turkish National Commission for UNESCO are partnered together in terms of cities.

    Turkey's Long-Term Electricity Consumption Forecast

    Emec, S.; Akkaya, G.

    Demand forecasting is essential primarily for planning. Although it is crucial in many sectors and issues, it has particular importance for electricity. Therefore, the issue of electricity consumption forecasting has recently become a prevalent topic. In light of the above, this study aimed to develop an appropriate model to estimate the long-term electricity consumption of Turkey. The study consists of three steps. In the first step, eight models were developed to separately investigate the effects of eight input variables frequently used in electricity consumption forecasting studies in the literature. In the second step of the study, two models consisting of input variables with high impact in the first step were developed, and the trained performances of the developed models were calculated by using the regression analysis. In the final step, the combined effect of eight variables on electricity consumption forecasting was investigated using regression analysis. It can be conclude that the model in the third step showed significant results, and the model performance was good. Finally, Turkey's electricity consumption forecast for the years 2020-2030 was performed using the model in the third step.

    The Dynamics Affecting the Export-Import Ratio in Turkey: A Hybrid Model Proposal with Econometrics and Machine Learning Approach

    Özden, Erdemalp

    The indicators related to foreign trade are conventionally measured in a currency or as the ratio of the country's gross domestic products. The ratio of exports to imports, alternatively, provides more useful results when comparing the foreign trade performance of economies both over time and with other countries as a unit-free indicator. In this study, the macroeconomics and financial determinants affecting this ratio are examined both econometrically and using the machine learning method. In this context, the autoregressive distributed lag model method was first used to investigate the relationship between normalized gross domestic products, exchange rate, consumer price index, producer price index, crude oil and Turkey's ratio of exports to imports rate between 2010-2021, monthly. Long-term analysis showed that the 1% depreciation of the Turkish Liras against the US dollar increased the ratio of exports to imports rate by 0.7 points. In addition, a 1% increase in consumer price index will increase ratio of exports to imports by 1.9 points, while a 1% increase in producer price index will cause a -0.8 point decrease on the ratio of exports to imports. Then, the pattern between the variables was analyzed with quadratic support vector machine, a machine learning method. Finally, the novel ARDL-SVM hybrid method was developed, and the pattern between the variables was examined. The findings revealed that although the econometric method provided a broader scope for interpreting the relationships between variables, the developed ARDL-SVM method successfully captured patterns between variables.

    The Effects of Urbanization, Life Expectation at Birth and Commercialization on Income Inequality: A Research on the Community of the Independent States and Some Baltic Countries

    Gültekin, Omer Faruk

    One of the important results of economic development is the development of trade and the increase in welfare. A reflection of the increase in welfare is the prolongation of human life and the increase in urbanization. Through these indicators, societies are expected to develop economically and socially. In this study, as a reflection of welfare, the effect of commercialization, average life expectancy and urbanization on income inequality in the Commonwealth of Independent States countries and some Baltic countries that gained independence after the dissolution of the Soviet Union after 1991 were investigated. In the study, trade openness and the share of countries in world trade representing commercialization, urbanization representing the increase in welfare, and disposable Gini coefficient and market Gini coefficient representing income inequality examined. For the estimations, four models were created and different results were obtained for each model. In the analysis process, descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, multicollinearity, cross-section dependence, heteroscadasticity, autocorrelation tests were applied. Depending on the test results, the Driscoll-Kraay test was applied and the results were estimated. According to the results, it can be said that while commercialization has a positive effect on income inequality, urbanization has a negative effect on income inequality.

    The Relationship Between Trait Anxiety Levels And Future Expectations Of Young Individuals

    Gönen, Mevlut; Öktem, Tuncay

    The future expectations of the youth of university-age can influence many of their decisions like the choice of university till their life plans. Many factors, including the psychological state, can affect the expectation for the future. In this study, the relationship between anxiety, which is one of the mentioned psychological factors, and future expectation was examined. A total of 1026 people from various cities of Turkey were enrolled in the special talent exam held by Bayburt University School of Physical Education and Sports. The state and trait anxiety scale developed by Spielberger and his friends was used.The Turkish reliability and validity study of the scale was conducted by Oner and Le Compte. The trait anxiety dimension of the related scale was used. The Future Visions Scale developed by Ginevra and his friends was used. The Turkish reliability and validity study of the scale was conducted by Akca and his friends. Research data were analyzed using SPSS 25 package program. As a result, there is a moderate negative relationship between the trait anxiety scores of all individuals participating in the research and the optimism and hope sub-dimensions of the future expectations scale, and a moderate positive relationship was found in the pessimism sub-dimension. In the correlation test according to gender, there is a negative moderate relationship in the optimism and hope sub-dimensions, and a positive moderate relationship in the pessimism sub-dimension in both female and male individuals. In the analysis made for another variable, the type of high school graduation, although there was a negative moderate relationship between trait anxiety and optimism and hope sub-dimensions, a positive moderate relationship was found with the pessimism sub-dimension.

    MARRIAGES IN THE SHADOW OF POLITICS IN THE RUPEN DYNASTY

    Aktas, Yasemin

    Marriage, which is the smallest structural unit of the society and where the foundation of the family was laid, was made a part of politics by the states and implemented. There are many reasons for attempting marriage between states, and many factors can be listed, such as ending wars, the continuation of peace, acquiring allies, and being able to leave an heir. Starting from the 11th century, in the Rupen dynasty that emerged in cukurava, political marriages were made in order to gain strong allies and dominate the region starting from the baron Constantine. Relationships were established with the Latin kingdoms, the Byzantine state of Nicaea, and the Crusader counties by exchanging daughters. In addition to political and military reasons, the desire of the Crusader counts to obtain financial benefits through dowry was also effective in the marriages, most of which were with the Crusader counts and Latin kings. Marriages, where arbitrariness was not in question, could start and end under certain conditions under the control of the church. In this study, the purposes, processes and termination of marriages performed by the Rupen dynasty that emerged in cukurova were discussed.

    A New Approach to Human Capital: Crime Adjusted Human Capital Index on European Countries

    Kabakçi Günay, Eylul; Yildiz, Umit; Günsoy, Guler; Günsoy, Bulent

    Human capital is a one of the essential components in the economic growth and development. Also, the belief that education and health level, which are the main components of human capital, are main features of a happy and healthy society, is getting stronger. But there is a fact that crime is a destructive notion that affects a society???s human capital. In this context, this study aims to create an alternative social welfare measurement method that includes crime rates as a component to human capital on 35 European countries. In this regard, first, a general crime index was generated by using 13 different crime categories of the 35 European countries, and then this index was adapted to the Human Capital Index. As a result, the Crime-Adjusted Human Capital Index (CAHCI) was obtained. It was observed that the country rankings we obtained based on the CAHCI differ significantly from the rankings made based on the Human Capital Index. Significant number of countries, which ranks high in the Human Capital Index, ranks lower when crime rates are considered, indicates that the reliability of social welfare measures based on human capital should be questioned.
