Ahi Evran tarafından kurulan bu teşkilat, İslam ahlakı ve tasavvufi geleneklerle birleşerek mesleki eğitim, üretim kalitesi, toplumsal dayanışma ve adalet ilkeleri etrafında örgütlenmiştir. Modernleşmeyle kurumsal etkisini yitirmiş olsa da Mudurnu gibi bazı yerlerde Ahilik gelenekleri sembolik ve işlevsel olarak yaşatılmaktadır. Bu araştırmada Ahilik kültürünün tarihsel kökenlerinden başlayarak Osmanlı’daki lonca sistemine etkisi, ticaret ahlakı ve toplumsal bütünleşmeye katkısı ele alınmıştır. Mudurnu özelinde yapılan saha çalışmaları, resmi belgeler, röportajlar ve yerel gözlemlerle bu geleneğin günümüzdeki yansımaları incelenmiştir. Özellikle Mudurnu’da sürdürülen Esnaf Duası, Şed Kuşanma Töreni, Ahilik Haftası kutlamaları ve Orta Sandığı uygulamaları, Ahilik kültürünün gelecek kuşaklara aktarılmasında önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu bağlamda Ahilik, yalnızca tarihî bir kurum değil, aynı zamanda günümüz toplumuna etik, sosyal ve kültürel düzeyde yön verebilecek bir miras olarak değerlendirilmiştir.Ahilik played a significant role in shaping both the economic and social structures of Anatolia. Established by Ahi Evran, the organization combined Islamic ethics with Sufi traditions and was structured around principles such as vocational training, production quality, social solidarity, and justice. Although its institutional presence has diminished with modernization, Ahilik traditions are still maintained in symbolic and practical forms in places like Mudurnu. This study explores the historical roots of Ahilik, its influence on the Ottoman guild system, and its contributions to trade ethics and social cohesion. Based on fieldwork, official documents, interviews, and local observations in Mudurnu, the study examines how Ahilik practices continue today. Rituals such as the Esnaf Duası, the Şed Kuşanma Töreni, Ahilik Week celebrations, and the Orta Sandığı system are shown to play a meaningful role in the transmission of Ahilik culture to future generations. In this context, Ahilik is considered not only a historical institution but also a cultural legacy that offers ethical, social, and communal values to contemporary society.by İbrahim Mert Öztür
On üçüncü yüzyılda Geç Bizans Anadolu şehirlerinin kentsel dönüşümü
No full textCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 179-204).This thesis examines the urban transformation of Late Byzantine Anatolian cities in the thirteenth century, a period that was characterized by political fragmentation after the emergence of two successor states – the Empire of Nicaea and the Empire of Trebizond after the Fourth Crusade in 1204 and the frontier politics between the Byzantines and the Rum Seljuqs. This study explores the reactions and adaptations of cities in Anatolia in the thirteenth century to changing socio-political, economic and cultural factors such as the loss of imperial power after the Fourth Crusade, military threats, particularly from the Rum Seljuqs and nomadic Turks, growing commercial ties, and cross-cultural interactions on the frontier, focusing on four different cities – Nicaea, Trebizond, Laodicaea, and Ephesos. Using an interdisciplinary approach, combining a wealth of literary sources with material sources, and utilizing historical geography, this study uses a comparative and thematic approach to demonstrate the urban transformation resulting from the responses of these four cities to the socio-political, economic and cultural changes of this period. Also, this thesis considers the functions of these cities within the framework of being an ‘imperial’ capital and strategically located, particularly on the border, and having commercial and religious nuclei. The choice of selecting case studies from different geographies allows for an understanding of the development of frontier dynamics, influenced by topographic and geopolitical changes, imperial legitimacy and cross-cultural interactions. Considering all these, the thesis argues the urban transformation of Late Byzantine Anatolia cities emphasized their adaptations and reactions to the circumstances in the thirteenth century, paving the way for the transition from Byzantine city to Turkish city in the fourteenth century.by Furkan Çağla

No full textCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 61-66).With the popularity of electrical vehicles rising, research on Lithium ion batteries have the utmost importance. For an efficient and safe usage of these batteries, their performance and its decline have to be closely monitored. In this work, two techniques were used for predicting State of Health (SoH) for 8 Aspilsan INR18650 batteries: Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and Intermittent Current Interruption (ICI). In this thesis, firstly Lithium ion batteries and their working principle is discussed. Afterwards, background information for both EIS and ICI were given for understanding why they are suitable for application; moreover, how they can be utilized to understand the battery chemistry that causes the SoH decline. Following, how EIS and ICI were combined and used to correlate to battery SoH were presented. All 8 batteries were tested with a sequence made up of EIS, ICI, charging and discharging procedures in different States of Charge every 50 cycles. Then, the data acquired from these tests were checked against the capacities known from the cycling. For correlating these parameters, Distance Correlation (dCor) was applied as dCor reveals any type of association between two parameters, not limited to linearity. Afterwards, to verify the data acquired, the errors for ICI parameters were investigated. Moreover, Kramers-Kronig test was applied to all the EIS data acquired to validate the quality of the data. To add, binning using the ICI parameters were used to showcase the prediction power of using ICI parameters acquired. In the end, it is explained how and why capacity of this set of batteries can be predicted with 1.8% error range using ICI test at specific conditions in a relatively short amount of time.by Rezan Ezgi Sevge

Yumuşak mini robotlarda esnek aktif kuyruk ve gömülü propriyoseptif sensörler ile eğimli yüzeylerde hareket ve dokunsal geri bildirim sağlanması

Soft robots, while inherently adaptable, face limitations in stability and feedback when navigating uneven or inclined surfaces. To address this, an active compliant tail was designed and integrated with the ReMBoT robot, resulting in the extended platform TReMBoT. The tail provides force-controlled assistance that enhances balance, improves energy efficiency, and enables more reliable slope climbing. In parallel, a novel proprioceptive sensing approach was developed, inspired by the vestibular system of the human inner ear. A unimodal soft sensor capable of measuring inclination was first implemented and validated. This was further advanced into a bimodal version with tactile sensing, improving sensitivity and robustness under deformation while maintaining a lightweight and flexible design. Experimental validation confirmed the accuracy and repeatability of the sensing system, as well as its ability to support slope traversal tasks. Together, these developments demonstrate how compliant actuation and proprioception can be combined to improve the adaptability and resilience of soft robots.by Haider Rahee
Yapılı çevrelerde huşu: mimari stil ve bakış açısının görsel tanıma belleğine etkileri
Full text linkCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 67-76).In recent years, there has been a growing interest in neuroarchitecture. This emerging field integrates neuroscience, psychology, and architecture to investigate the built environment’s impact on cognition, emotion, and behavior. Aesthetic and emotional responses to architecture, especially the experience of awe, are becoming more recognized as significant factors influencing cognitive processes, including attention, memory, and decision-making. However, the association between awe, components of architecture, and perceptual perspective is still insufficiently examined. The present study investigated the interactions among awe, architectural style, and viewing angle on visual recognition memory in built environments, employing a 2 (awe: awe-evoking vs. non-awe-evoking) × 2 (style: traditional vs. modern) × 2 (angle: eye-angle vs. low-angle) within-subjects design. Thirty-six participants participated in a visual recognition memory task involving real-life architectural imagery. Analyses of recognition sensitivity d ′ indicated that traditional architecture revealed higher recognition sensitivity than modern architecture, and eye-angle perspectives yielded better sensitivity than low-angle perspectives. Awe alone did not yield a significant main effect; however, it interacted with architectural style, diminishing discriminability for modern architecture while having no effect or a slight improvement on traditional architecture. Analyses of the response criterion c revealed that awe, style, and angle independently modulated decision thresholds, with awe-evoking images eliciting a more liberal bias. This study contributes to the existing literature by establishing the contextual restrictions of awe’s mnemonic effects, indicating that architectural stimuli’s perceptual and stylistic characteristics moderate its influence on memory. The combination of affective science, neuroarchitecture, and signal detection theory provides a new framework for analyzing the interplay between aesthetic and perceptual factors in shaping memory within the built environment.by Beyza Gülzehra Ekinc
Miyeloproliferatif neoplazmlarda mutant kalretikülinin yeni karboksi-terminal alanındaki salgılama sinyallerinin karakterizasyonu
No full textCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 73-82).Myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are clonal hematopoietic disorders marked by excessive production of mature myeloid cells. In a subset of patients, mutations in calreticulin (CALR) drive the disease by constitutive activation of the JAK/STAT pathway. All CALR mutations result in a +1 frameshift that generates a novel carboxy- terminal sequence enriched in basic residues and lacking the KDEL ER-retention signal. While CALR normally resides in the endoplasmic reticulum as a multifunctional chaperone, in MPNs mutant CALR is aberrantly secreted, however the precise mechanism underlying this process remains not fully understood. In this study, we aimed to investigate the secretion mechanism of CALR mutant to better understand its role in MPN development. To this end, we employed both in silico and wet lab analysis such as ELM and CELLO prediction tools, site directed mutagenesis and Western blotting techniques. Contrary to the current understanding suggesting that CALR mutant secretion is mainly caused by the loss of the KDEL retention signal, our results indicate that the secretion is largely driven by the newly generated motifs rich in arginine residues. Furthermore, prediction scores suggest that these motifs may also direct the mutant protein to other subcellular compartments, particularly the nucleus. Understanding this mechanism is crucial, as it highlights specific motifs as potential therapeutic targets that could be exploited to develop treatments for CALR-mutant MPN patients.by Beana Puk
Oyun kuramı ve mekanizma tasarımında listelerden seçim
Full text linkCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 61-63).Game theory models choice via preferences or treats choice as primitive. This thesis studies strategic environments in which players choose from lists and integrates this perspective into game theory and mechanism design. It develops a list-based framework with a corresponding equilibrium notion and presents existence and uniqueness conditions. In mechanism design, the implementation problem within this framework is visited and necessary and sufficient conditions are derived. Libertarian Paternalist mechanisms, which preserve each player’s full menu while steering choices via ordering, are analyzed, and the conditions for implementation are characterized. Finally, efficiency is analyzed through two different approaches: efficiency of mechanisms, a novel approach, and efficiency of social choice rules, the standard in the literature.by Serkan Karademi
Bilkent Üniversitesi Sağlık Merkezi ve Bilkent Şehir Hastanesi onkoloji polikliniğinde hasta, hasta yakınları ve sağlık çalışanlarının işitsel algılarını karşılaştırmaya yönelik bir çalışma
Full text linkCataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 57-63).This thesis aims to compare soundscape perceptions in the waiting areas of two different outpatient healthcare environments, which are the Bilkent University Health Center and the Bilkent City Hospital Oncology Polyclinic. The Health Center is a small facility located on the university campus, whereas the Hospital Polyclinic is a part of the much larger city hospital complex. 138 participants took part in the study, including 70 individuals at the University Health Center and 68 at the Hospital Polyclinic. Participant groups included patients, patients’ relatives, and healthcare staff, allowing for comparisons across user groups within settings. Perceptual data were collected on-site using a questionnaire based on ISO/TS 12913-2 Method A. Measurements of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound levels (LAeq) were also taken during peak occupancy in both settings. The questionnaire data were analyzed using IBM SPSS 27.0 Statistics software. Significant differences were tested with non-parametric tests (Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U). Correlations were examined using Spearman’s Rho. The results revealed that human sounds were the most dominant source in both healthcare settings, consistently identified by all user groups. Perceived Affective Quality (PAQ) results showed that the University Health Center was perceived as significantly more uneventful, calm, and vibrant, whereas the Hospital Polyclinic was perceived as more annoying and chaotic. In the Health Center, healthcare staff perceived the soundscape as significantly more vibrant than patients and patients’ relatives, while no significant differences were found among user groups in the Hospital Polyclinic. The sound environment in the Health Center was also rated as more appropriate than Hospital Polyclinic. Correlation analysis further showed that longer stays in waiting areas of both settings were associated with negative perceptions, which were greater in the Hospital Polyclinic. These results emphasize how differences in environmental characteristics between the two settings influence users’ auditory perceptions and show that different user groups may perceive the same environment in different ways.by Oya Yıldı

One can consider the first use of vaccination in Ottoman hands as a state initiative that was supported from the very institutional level: the Vaccine Production Institute (1892), and the Constantinople Imperial Bacteriology Institute (1893). The Turkish government continued this emphasis when it established the Hifzissihha in 1928, an organization dedicated to providing widespread vaccinations with the goal of catching up to European standards in preventing infectious diseases. However, starting in the 1980s, neoliberal economic policies and international financial organizations forced the government to step back from its leading role in healthcare and eventually privatized vaccine development and distribution. The paper discusses the political, social, and economic factors that brought such changes in policies and the negative effects on public trust. The paper is a call for revision of current health policies to achieve sustainable vaccination strategies in Turkey.Bu makale, Türkiye'de aşılamanın tarihini ana hatlarıyla açıklamaktadır: Osmanlı İmparatorluğu'nda variolasyonun ilk kullanımından Cumhuriyet dönemindeki kitlesel halk sağlığı uygulamalarına ve yeni dönemde aşı tedarikinin özelleştirilmesine kadar. Osmanlı'da aşılamanın ilk kullanımı, kurumsal düzeyde desteklenen bir devlet girişimi olarak düşünülebilir: Aşı Üretim Enstitüsü (1892) ve Bakteriyolojihane-i Şahane (1893). Türk hükümeti, bulaşıcı hastalıkları önlemede Avrupa standartlarını yakalama amacıyla yaygın aşılama sağlamaya adanmış bir kuruluş olan Hıfzıssıhha'yı 1928'de kurduğunda bu vurguyu sürdürdü. Ancak, 1980'lerden başlayarak, neoliberal ekonomik politikalar ve uluslararası finans kuruluşları hükümeti sağlık hizmetlerindeki lider rolünden geri adım atmaya zorladı ve sonunda aşı geliştirme ve dağıtımını özelleştirdi. Makale, politikalarda bu tür değişiklikleri getiren politik, sosyal ve ekonomik faktörleri ve kamu güveni üzerindeki olumsuz etkileri tartışmaktadır. Makale, Türkiye'de sürdürülebilir aşılama stratejileri elde etmek için mevcut sağlık politikalarının gözden geçirilmesi çağrısında bulunmaktadır.by Beril Ünve
