İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2023Scopus SJRQ1New RSM-FEM-Based Active Lateral Earth Thrust Coefficient Determination Method for Inverted T-Type Cantilever Retaining Walls Supporting Narrow Granular Backfill
Kamiloglu, Hakan Alper
This study was aimed to (1) investigate the failure surface mechanism occurring behind the wall supporting narrow backfill with experimental and numerical approaches; (2) determine the effect of internal friction angle (phi), friction (delta), heel length (beta), foundation thickness (alpha), backfill inclination (psi), and backfill width (theta) parameters on lateral earth thrust coefficients; and (3) derive finite-element analysis (FEM)-response surface method (RSM)-based lateral earth thrust coefficient equations for inverted T-type retaining walls supporting narrow backfill. The study was performed for granular backfill. A small-scale test was performed to investigate the failure surface mechanism in the narrow granular backfill. The particle image velocimetry method was employed to determine failure surface patterns for various heel lengths and backfill widths. Finite-element (FE) analyses were also performed to verify the experimental results. From the analyses, it was seen that two characteristic soil blocks formed behind the horizontally translated wall. Due to these soil blocks, the wall was divided into three characteristic regions. Lateral active earth thrust coefficients were derived for the regions. RSM was employed to derive FE-based lateral earth thrust coefficient estimation equations for each region. In this context, three design matrices were created, comprising 76 runs. In the design, parameters phi, delta, beta, alpha, psi, and theta were used as independent variables. A total of 76 FE analyses were performed for various parameter combinations. The results of the FE analyses were used as a response. From the statistical analyses, lateral active earth thrust estimation equations for narrow backfill were derived. The suggested equations were compared with the results of experimental, numerical, and analytical studies, and it was seen that the method gives reliable results. The effects of independent variables and their interactions on lateral earth pressure coefficients were examined.

Purpose This study examined differences in eating behaviours, anthropometric indicators, and malnutrition risk among children aged 5-16 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD), including Down syndrome, developmental language disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods This study was carried out using a cross-sectional design and included 220 children attending special education and rehabilitation centres: 97 autistic children (girls: 26, boys: 71) and 123 children with other developmental disabilities (DD; girls: 44, boys: 79). The DD group comprised children with Down syndrome (n = 52, 42.3%), developmental language disorder (n = 58, 47.2%), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 13, 10.6%). Results Autistic children differed from children with other developmental disabilities in both growth patterns and eating behaviour profiles. Height-for-age z-scores were higher in children with ASD than in those with Down syndrome (DS) and developmental language disorder (DLD) (p=.01). Autistic children showed higher Food Fussiness scores than children with DS (p<.05). Associations between eating behaviours and BMI-for-age varied according to diagnostic group (all interaction p<.05). In other developmental disability groups, eating behaviours also varied according to BMI-for-age categories and malnutrition risk (p<.05). Among autistic children, malnutrition risk was associated with higher Food Responsiveness and Slowness in Eating scores (p<.05). Conclusion This study showed that eating behaviours, anthropometric measurements, and malnutrition risk vary among children with ASD and diagnostically distinct developmental disability subgroups, underscoring the importance of individualised, diagnosis-informed nutritional assessment and monitoring.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Religious School Identity and Socio-Political Criticism of Bahlul Dana in terms of His Humorous Stories
Sever, Mehmet
Someone with sense of humour reveals this characteristic of his in stories and narrations. Parables and humorous stories take an important place in terms of expressing thoughts and beliefs, and of showing the negative aspects of imaginations of religion and world, which are objected to. Especially in relation to people's transmitting their own religious school's understanding, stories and parables constitute the most important material in order to maintain continuity of ideas and beliefs in the historical process. The events experienced by remarkable figures in history are transmitted in story form, and belongingness to religious schools has been reconstructed through new stories and parables in time. In this sense, Bahlul Dana, who is a historical personage, is a person that became famous in the memory of Muslims with his jokes and stories. However, the criticism observed in his jokes caused him to be alleged as a member of Shi'a. It is important to analyse some rumours suggested about his being a Shi'ite and to reveal his identity of religious school in terms of understanding sociopolitical criticism and opposition tradition in Islamic thought.

Aydin, Tuba Agirman
In this article, the differential equation of lorentzian spherical timelike curves is obtained in E-1(4). It is seen that the differential equation characterizing Lorentzian spherical timelike curves is equivalent to a linear, third order, differential equation with variable coefficients. It is impossible to solve these equations analytically. In this article, a new numerical technique based on hermite polynomials is presented using the initial conditions for the approximate solution. This method is called the modified hermite matrix-collocation method. With this technique, the solution of the problem is reduced to the solution of an algebraic equation system and the approximate solution is obtained. In addition, the validity and applicability of the technique is explained by a sample application.

Sadik, Ramin
During World War I, fierce clashes took place between the Ottomans and Russia on the Caucasus Front. The Ottoman state, whose army in the region was not fully prepared for the war, was heavily wounded in the Sarikamis Operation and then could not adequately defend against Russian attacks. Consequently, the conflicts in the east ended in defeat for the Ottomans. Especially after the Russians took control of Erzurum in 1916, they intensified their military operations directly to the west, south and east coast of the Black Sea. Having taken Erzurum, the Russian Caucasus Army command devised a plan to capture Trabzon, a strategically located city that played a key role in equipping the Ottoman III Army in the east. In fact, if the Russian army captured Trabzon, it would be able to supply its troops in the east with arms, ammunition and food more quickly. In this sense, Trabzon was very important for the Russians. Consequently, after the occupation of Erzurum, the Russian armies moved towards Bayburt and Gumushhane via Askale on the one hand, and towards Trabzon with both navy and land forces in the eastern Black Sea region on the other. In late March 1916, attacks on Trabzon intensified, culminating in the occupation of the city on April 18, 1916. In this study, the process of the occupation of Trabzon is written in the context of Russian sources. The main difference of this study from the previous ones is that it was prepared by analyzing the information provided in the Russian archival documents and press of the period, as well as in Russian-language sources in general. Therefore, the archival records of the correspondence of Russian commanders with their headquarters during the occupation of Trabzon and the day-to-day news of newspapers and magazines about the war constituted the basis of the originality of the article.

Cuce, Erdem
U-value assessment is a significant process to be able to evaluate the thermal insulation performance of building materials notably windows. About 60% of energy losses from building envelope is attributed to windows, hence accurate and reliable thermal resistance evaluation of glazed areas is of vital importance for a sensitive energy demand analysis of buildings. U-value assessment of windows is usually conducted through theoretical and numerical methods in literature. However, dwellers frequently complain about the insufficient thermal insulation performance of commercial glazing products when compared to the reported U-values in datasheets. This inconvenience arises from the lack of comprehensive experimental tests which simulate the actual operating conditions. Therefore, in this research, argon filled double glazed windows, which is one the most common fenestration products in market, is numerically and experimentally analysed in terms of U-value performance. Although computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses reveal that the U-value of the reference sample (4 mm pane + 20 mm argon + 4 mm pane) is 0.89 W/m(2)K, which is in good accordance with the theoretical data (0.80 W/m(2)K), it is observed from the environmental chamber tests that the U-value in simulated operating conditions is 1.25, 1.18 and 1.32 W/m(2)K for top, centre and lower positions of the window sample. The tests are repeated for accuracy verification, and the U-value is found to be 1.23, 1.18 and 1.31 W/m(2)K for the said points. In this respect, it is concluded that thermal bridges and edge effects play a key role in actual U-value performance of glazing products. Therefore, experimental performance figures are recommended to be utilised in energy demand analyses of buildings. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Sözen, Hasan
This study is carried out to compare and to reveal the similarities and differences between Religious Education Curriculum for Alevies (Grades 14) and the Islamic Religious Education Curriculum (Grades 1-4), which are being implemented in the North Rhine-Westphalia State of Germany. Accordingly, the basic approach, purpose, content, measurement and evaluation situations on which both programs are based are examined and evaluated based on the data obtained. The main problem of the study is The comparison of Alevi and Islamic religion course teaching programs implemented in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In the study, qualitative research methods and document analysis are used, and the teaching programs in question are examined in terms of the approach over curriculum, the structure and content of the teaching programs, objectives and overall attainment, as well as evaluational dimensions of the course. The data obtained as a result of the analysis are grouped according to the criteria of similarity and difference, and the differences between the curriculums are interpreted based on the results obtained. During the analysis process, both teaching programs are examined closely and the necessary encodings are made. No categories have been previously defined for coding, except for problems and sub-problems. The documents examined in the study are the Alevi religion course curriculum published in 2013 by the Ministry of Education of the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, (1-4 Classes) and an Islamic religion course curriculum published by the same ministry in 2014 (1-4. Classes). The main reason for the preference of North Rhine-Westphalia state teaching programs in the study is that the province in question has the most crowded Muslim student population in Germany. The study is the first in terms of comparing the basic approach, goals, course subjects, measurement and evaluation dimensions on which both curriculum are based, and revealing similarities and differences between them. It is believed that the research will make a significant contribution to program development in religious education and training in this aspect and offer a different perspective. As a result of the study, it is determined that the Alevi and Islamic religious education curriculum are similar with the approaches, objectives, structural features and measurement and evaluational dimensions. Both teaching programs are based on the approach of faith-centered/confessional, interfaith-oriented religious teaching and the approach of correlation didactics. Alevi and Islamic religious education course curricula focus on project and research-based activities of students, their performance, cooperation and active participation. It has been observed that all necessary precautions have been taken for students to be active in the educational process, to share their experience, and to learn by doing and experiencing. It is accordingly, concluded that both curriculum have been prepared with a student-centred and constructivist understanding. When the main objectives of the curriculum are examined, it is seen that they focus on the development of religious identity of individuals and have similar measurement and evaluation approaches. It has been observed that students use religious references in regulating their own lives, attitudes and behaviours, and use the guidance of religious knowledge and tradition. There are both significant differences in sections of the curriculums and the patterns of the units according to class levels among the curriculum. It is determined that religious education curriculum for Alevies curriculum has a wider and more detailed subject content than the Islamic religious Education Curriculum. Content in both curriculum is based on the principles of faith, culture and tradition in general. However, many topics in the Islamic religion course curriculum (basic principles of faith, revelation-communique, Islamic Society/Ummah, etc.) is not included in the curriculum of Alevi Religion course. Similarly, many topics related to Alevi culture and tradition are not located in the Islamic religion course curriculum. In addition, these topics such as Musahiplik, Cemevi, Twelve Imams, are observed that have not included in the Islamic religion course program, while the topics are reserved in Alevi teaching program. In the Islamic Religious program, the relationship between the mosque, the church and the synagogue, similarities and obvious differences are addressed, while no information about the Cemevi is given. In both teaching programs, although common subjects such as Allah, Hz. Muhammad, Ehl-i Beyt ( family of Hz. Muhammad), places of worship, religious days and nights, other religions, holy books, etc. are concluded, they have subjects, contents, understandings and approaches distinctly. The religious days and nights (The Feast of Nowruz, the month of Muharram and the Ashura fast, the day of Ashura) mentioned in the Alevi religion course are considered with reference to the Islamic religion, while the religious days and nights included in the Islamic religion course curriculum are not associated with Alevism. In the Islamic religion course curriculum, the main sources of the Islamic religion are used, in other words, the Koran and Sunnah are utilized, on the other hand, in the course of Alavi religion, the main sources formed around Alevi culture and tradition (Buyruk, Nehcu'l Belaga, Velayetname, Makalat, etc.) are investigated. In the Islamic religion course curriculum, students are expected to know the basic principles of faith, understand religious forms and phenomena, and adapt them to life, as in the Alevi religion course curriculum. It is aimed that they benefit from their existing knowledge and skills in regulating their social relations and run to work in developing a culture of coexistence. In this aspect, it can be said that both curriculum have similar objectives. But this does not mean that the curriculum is the same in terms of content and understanding. Although Alevi and Islamic religion course curriculum are different from each other at some points, it can be mentioned there is a structural similarity ( based approach, measurement and evaluation dimension, etc.) But focusing the way content and content which are understood and reflected, it is also seen that there are significant differences between them. This situation (with the religion of Islam) means for Alevi which tends towards the same prophet, the same book and the same sacred; yet beyond having different interpretations and understandings about deeds and creed, can also be regarded as an effort to present Islam as a different religion. However, the values that stand out in both programs and teachings, as well as the knowledge, cultural elements and traditional interpretations used, prevent us from concluding that Alevism is a non-Islamic understanding. Currently, Alevism continues to maintain its original place in the Islamic cultural tradition with historical and current perspectives, such as extreme-moderate-radical interpretations and understanding.

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. Studies on DLT and discussions concerning relevant words in etymological studies has been reviewed, and based on the available evidence from historical and contemporary dialects, Turkey Turkish subdialects being in the first place, new insights are offered about these words

Filiz, Tunahan; Kaplan, Kadir
Introduction Mathematical problem-solving is fundamental for academic success and real-life challenges and involves more than procedural and computational skills. As most primary school mathematics problems are text-based, reading comprehension self-efficacy may be closely associated with students' performance in mathematical problem-solving. Grounded in Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, this study examined the associations between reading comprehension self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving, focusing on the sequential indirect associations involving of mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.Methods A quantitative, correlational research design was employed. The sample consisted of 518 fourth-grade students from 14 provinces across seven regions of T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using validated scales measuring reading comprehension self-efficacy, critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and mathematical problem-solving skills. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis and regression-based mediation analysis.Results The findings revealed that mathematical reasoning and critical thinking partially accounted for the association between reading comprehension self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving. The findings indicated significant indirect effects through critical thinking skills (beta = 0.18, K2 = 0.23), mathematical reasoning skills (beta = 0.04, K2 = 0.19), and the sequential pathway from mathematical reasoning to critical thinking (beta = 0.01, K2 = 0.03). Although the sequential mediation effect was statistically significant, its effect size was relatively small compared with the individual mediation effects, particularly that of critical thinking skills.Discussion These results highlight the interconnected roles of foundational cognitive processes in relation to higher-order mathematical problem-solving skills. The study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the relevance of considering reading comprehension self-efficacy, mathematical reasoning, and critical thinking as interconnected factors in early mathematics education.

Aydin, Nevzat
Sunnah, along with Quran, has become an essential criteria in the Islamic thought in determination and critique of hadith in terms of their relatedness to the Prophet. However, different approaches toward the determination and the content of the Sunnet as the essential factor in terms of the articulation and functionality of this criteria have been appeared in the long historical proccess. Thus, this paper, especially, is a step for articulating the place of ma'rouf/mashour sunnah, which was a dominant concept in the first two centuries of the Hijri calendar, in determination and critique method of hadith and also, its historical background and function. Even though there are some limitations of active usage of ma'rouf/mashour sunnah originated from different understandings of sunnah, it is an important and primary criteria developed from methodological structure of the determination and the critique of hadith, and also it is a criterion which keeps its value in its consistency, applicability and functionality.
