Analysis of settlement parameters of architecture faculties on university campus
Get PDFThe selection of a suitable place for an activity is an important decision made for a project, which requires assessing it from different points of view. Educational use is one of the most complicated and substantial uses in urban space that requires precise and logical attention to its location and neighborhood with similar and consistent uses. Faculties of universities are educational spaces that should be protected against physical and moral damage to create a healthy educational environment. To do this, it is necessary to find and assess the factors affecting the location of educational spaces. The extant study aimed at finding and assessing the factors affecting the location of educational spaces to locate art and architecture schools or faculties in 4 important universities. The present study is applied developmental research in terms of nature and descriptive-analytical in terms of method. This study used the AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) weighing and controlled the prioritization through the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity) technique in the methodology phase. Since there was no criterion and metric for these centers, six were chosen as the primary metrics after reviewing the relevant theoretical foundations, early investigations, and collecting effective data. Finally, the results indicated the most important factors of vehicular or roadway access, pedestrian access, slope, parking, adjacency, neighborhood, and area. Among the mentioned factors, pedestrian access (w: 0.4231) had the highest weight and was the priority in the location of architecture faculty in studied campuses and areas inside the universities
Evaluation of error types seen in digital panoramic radiographs
Get PDFAims: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of different types of errors in panoramic radiography and explore potential
correlations between these errors, age, and gender.
Methods: A total of 2000 panoramic radiographs randomly selected from the patient archives of the Department of Oral, Dental,
and Maxillofacial Radiology at Dicle University Faculty of Dentistry, taken in 2023 for various indications, were analyzed. Two
experienced radiologists (BK and EK) reviewed the digital panoramic X-ray images. Interobserver agreement was assessed by
having both observers re-evaluate 10% of the sample. Patients with developmental anomalies, history of trauma, orthognathic
surgery, maxillofacial pathology (e.g., tumors/cysts), and those under 16 years old were excluded. Statistical analyses were
conducted using SPSS 20.0 software (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), with a significance level set at α=5%. Cohen’s kappa
statistics were utilized to calculate intraobserver agreement.
Results: In the analysis of 2000 panoramic radiographs, it was found that 81.16% exhibited at least one error. The predominant
error identified was the misplacement of the tongue against the palate, accounting for 34.75% of cases. A statistically significant
association was observed between increasing patient age and higher error rates (p<0.05). However, no significant correlation
was found between gender and error occurrence (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The prevalence of positioning errors in panoramic radiography is considerable. It underscores the importance
of providing adequate training to healthcare professionals and technicians to mitigate the risk of misinterpretation and
unnecessary exposure to radiation
The effects of reverse items on psychometric properties and respondents' scale scores according to different item reversal strategies
No full textThis study aimed to examine the effects of reverse items created with different strategies on psychometric properties and respondents' scale scores. To this end, three versions of a 10 -item scale in the research were developed: 10 positive items were integrated in the first form (Form -P) and five positive and five reverse items in the other two forms. The reverse items in the second and third forms were crafted using antonyms (Form -RA) and negations (Form -RN), respectively. Based on the research results, Form -P was unidimensional, while other forms were two-dimensional. Moreover, although reliability coefficients of all forms were obtained as above .80, the lowest one was acquired for Form -RN. There were strong -positive relationships between students' scores in the three scale forms. However, the lowest one was estimated between Form -P and Form -RN. Finally, there was a significant difference between the students' mean scores obtained from Form-RN and other two versions, but the effect size of the said difference was small. In conclusion, all these results indicate that different types of reverse items influence psychometric properties and respondents' scale scores differently
Occupation and evacuation of public property and determination of the criminal fee within the scope of court decisions
No full textMahkeme kararları kapsamında kamu mallarının işgali, tahliyesi ve ecrimisil bedelinin belirlenmesi hususunun ele alındığı bu çalışmamızda, öncelikle ecrimisilin tanımından ve tarihsel gelişiminden bahsedilmiştir. Türk özel hukuk sisteminde hiçbir yasal mevzuatta ecrimisil alacağı düzenlenmemiş olmasına istinaden hukuki niteliği konusunda öğreti de görüş birliği mevcut değildir. Kimi yazarlar borcun kaynağını sebepsiz zenginleşmeye, haksız fiile ya da kira benzerine dayandıran görüşler mevcuttur. Uygulamada ise; son olarak Yargıtay tarafından ecrimisil alacağı haksız fiile dayandırılmıştır. Türk kamu hukukunda; özel hukukun aksine ecrimisilin hukuki niteliğinin saptanması amacıyla hem Kanun hemde düzenleyici işlem niteliğinde olan Yönetmelik ve Tebliğ de düzenlemeler yapılarak kamunun özel mülkiyetinde ya da devletin hüküm ve tasarrufu altındaki taşınmazların herhangi bir hukuki sebebe dayanmaksızın işgal edildiğinin tespit edilmesi halinde işgalciden (fuzuli şâgil) istenen tazminat olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Ecrimisil talep edilmesi için fuzuli şâgilin kusurlu olup olmaması önemli olmadığı gibi idarenin de bir zararının olması aranmamaktadır. Kamunun özel mülkiyetinde ya da devletin hüküm ve tasarrufu altındaki taşınmazların idare ve denetim yetkisi Maliye Bakanlığı Milli Emlak Müdürlüğüne taşra da ise anılan Müdürlüğün taşra teşkilatı olan Milli Emlak Servislerine aittir. Çalışmamızda, Türk yargı sisteminde ecrimisil tazminatının hukuk nitelendirmesi yapıldıktan sonra ecrimisil kurumunun bir yönetim biçimi değilde caydırıcı nitelikte olması gerektiği belirtilmiştir. Ayrıca ilgili idareler tarafından ecrimisil bedelinin tahsili amacıyla tesis edilen ecrimisil ihbarnamelerine karşı açılan davalarda verilen yargı kararları incelenerek tanzim edilecek güncel ecrimisil ihbarnamelerinin hukuki olması noktasında ilgili idarelere tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.In this study, which deals with the Occupation, Evacuation of Public Property and Ecrimisil in the Turkish Legal System within the Scope of Judicial Decisions, firstly the definition and historical development of ecrimisil are mentioned. Since remuneration receivables are not regulated in any legal legislation in the Turkish Private Law System, there is no consensus in doctrine regarding their legal nature. Some authors have opinions that base the source of the debt on unjust enrichment, tort or rent-like. In practice; Finally, by the Supreme Court of Appeals, the penalty for retaliation was based on tort. In Turkish Public Law; Contrary to private law, in order to determine the legal nature of ecrimisil, arrangements have been made in both the Law and the Regulation and Communiqué, which are regulatory procedures, and in case it is determined that the immovable properties under the private ownership of the public or under the control and disposal of the state are occupied without any legal reason, the compensation requested from the occupier (undue) has been described. In order to claim compensation, it is not important whether the unnecessary person is at fault or not, and it is not required that the administration suffer any damage. The authority to manage and supervise immovable properties that are privately owned by the public or under the rule and disposition of the state belongs to the National Real Estate Directorate of the Ministry of Finance and, in the provinces, to the National Real Estate Services, which is the provincial organization of the said Directorate. In our study, after the legal qualification of ecrimisil compensation in the Turkish Judicial System, it was stated that the ecrimisil institution should have a deterrent nature, not a form of management. In addition, by examining the judicial decisions given in the cases filed against the penalty notices established by the relevant administrations for the purpose of collecting the penalty fee, recommendations were made to the relevant administrations on the legality of the current penalty notices to be issued

Predictors of science identity in primary school: epistemological beliefs, competency beliefs, and science learning experiences
No full textScience identity helps explain the attitude students have towards science, assessing how and why they choose to engage with it both inside and outside of school. Over time, each student develops an identity as a scientist based upon perceptions held by themselves and others. Students' science identity may vary depending on their gender, educational opportunities, and epistemological beliefs. For this reason, the study investigated the predictors of primary school students' science identity. A total of 775 primary school students aged 9-12 from the Turkish sample participated in the research. Structural equation modelling was used to examine the predictors of science identity. Findings showed that science identity is related to epistemological beliefs, science competence, and optional science learning experiences. Accordingly, the models used to explain science identity can be expanded with belief, competence, and experience variables. The current study has contributed to the understanding of the science identity in primary school students and has provided insights into the science identity of children in Turkey as an Eastern society.TUBITAKNo Statement Availabl

Within the scope of the research, the relevant narrations were examined in detail by using document analysis, one of the qualitative analysis methods, and Imam Tirmidhi's narration methodology and the place of the concept of prayer in hadiths were evaluated. The main purpose of the research is to analyze the narrations in the prayer section of al-Tirmidhi's work "al-J?mi'" from the textual aspect, to reveal its reflection on the Islamic tradition and its importance in the literature. In addition to this, the narrations narrated in the prayer section of his work "al-J?mi'" were analyzed by identifying and graphically analyzing Tirmidh?'s conclusions about their authenticity. The findings show how valuable al-Tirmidhi's contributions to the science of hadith are and that the method he followed is an important reference for today's hadith studies. In addition to determining the place and importance of prayer narrations in Islamic literature, the study also provides an important source for the correct understanding and interpretation of these narrations. The content analysis of al-Tirmidhi's prayer narrations examines the role of these narrations in religious practices and their meaning for believers. The study concludes that a special literature on prayer has emerged in the Islamic tradition and that al-Tirmidhi's al-Jami' is the source of this literature. In addition, it is concluded that the narrations that prioritize dhikr with the tongue over jihad and expenditure, and that promise the payment of debts and the strengthening of memory through recited prayers do not coincide with the Qur'an and the Prophet's sirah. Ultimately, this thesis analyzes the content and the script of the prayer narrations in Imam al-Tirmidhi's work "al-J?mi'" and reveals al-Tirmidhi's contributions to the science of hadith and the place of the concept of prayer in the Islamic tradition. The findings of the study are an important guide for the correct understanding and interpretation of prayer narrations
What we still don't know about weed diversity: A scoping review
No full textIncreased agricultural weed diversity is associated with reduced dominance of competitive weeds that reduce crop yields. In addition, diverse weed communities can promote biodiversity at other trophic levels and enhance ecosystem services. For both reasons, there is increasing interest in the relationship between agricultural management and weed diversity. Existing information in this area is limited, relative to the large number of influential factors, but knowledge is increasing rapidly. We conducted a scoping review to determine when, where, and how weed diversity has been evaluated in relation to management. From an initial set of 10 236 items retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus, 7198 were screened and 331 were included. The median publication year was 2015. Nearly half of all studies were conducted in Europe (n = 161, 49%). Organic cropping systems were included in 48 studies (15%). Tillage was the most common management factor (n = 111, 34%), followed by crop rotation (n = 73, 22%). There were 135 studies in which management factors were implemented for six or more years (41%). Most studies included measurements of species richness (n = 265, 80%) and/or Shannon-Wiener diversity (n = 145, 44%). Overall, this review identified a small and heterogenous-but quickly growing-body of literature on weed diversity. Priority areas for future research should include weed diversity beyond field crops in temperate environments, weed seedbanks, functional diversity, and best practices for measuring weed diversity.Cornell University Fellowship [2022-2023]We thank members of the Agroecology Group at Cornell University for helpful feedback on these ideas, and James Booth (Cornell University Library) for technical support.

EFIKASNOST NDVI SA GGE BIPLOT MODELOM U ODREĐIVANJU GENOTIPA VISOKO PRINOSNE DURUM PŠENICE (Triticum durum Desf.)
No full textThe use of spectral indices such as normalised difference vegetation index (NDVI) is becoming an important element in the evaluation of physiological traits in cereal crops. Determining the correlation between spectral readings taken at different phenological stages of wheat plants and grain yield (GY) is crucial. This study aimed to demonstrate the effectiveness of NDVI in combination with the GGE biplot model in identifying high yielding durum wheat genotypes. Field experiments were conducted in multiple environments and growth stages to evaluate the relationship between NDVI and grain yield (GY). Twenty-five durum wheat genotypes were tested for two years under rainfed and supplementary irrigation conditions using a split plot experimental design. The results showed significant positive correlations between NDVI and GY, especially at the generative stages under rain-fed conditions. In contrast, NDVI at the grain-filling stage showed a weaker relationship with GY under supplemental irrigation. Genotypes exhibiting high NDVI values up to the stem elongation stage tended to have lower grain yields, emphasizing the importance of considering growth stage dynamics. GGE biplot analysis provided visual information on genotype-trait relationships, helping to identify genotypes with consistent performance in different environments. This study highlights that NDVI can be used to predict yield potential and guide selection in durum wheat breeding programs and the GGE biplot model serves as a valuable tool for genotype evaluation and selection. © (2024), (Serbian Genetics Society).

A legal assessment of the Cjeu's Judgment of 29 September 2022 (C-633/20) on insurance intermediation in the context of group insurance shemes
No full textAvrupa Adalet Divanı (ABAD), 29 Eylül 2022 tarihli ve C-633/20 sayılı kararında, bir hizmet sağlayıcısının müşterilerini, kendi adına daha önce yaptırdığı grup sigortasına katılmaya teşvik etme yönündeki faaliyetinin, sigorta aracılığı kavramı çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesi gerektiğine hükmetmiştir. Kararında esas olarak ücret ve aracılık faaliyeti unsurlarına odaklanan ABAD sigorta dağıtımının yalnızca sözleşmenin kurulmasıyla sınırlı olmayıp, sigorta sözleşmelerine ilişkin danışmanlık sunma, öneride bulunma, sözleşme hazırlıklarını yürütme ya da sözleşmenin yönetimi ve uygulanmasına katkıda bulunma gibi işlemleri de kapsadığını belirtmiştir. Divan, “ücret” kavramını geniş biçimde yorumlayarak, aracılık faaliyeti karşılığında elde edilen her tür maddi veya maddi olmayan menfaati bu kapsamda değerlendirmiş ve dolayısıyla hizmet sağlayıcısının ekonomik bir fayda sağladığı her ödemenin ücretli aracılık olarak kabul edilmesi gerektiğini ifade etmiştir. ABAD ayrıca, sigorta ettirenlerin sigorta teminatını bireysel poliçe aracılığıyla mı yoksa grup sigortası kapsamında mı elde ettiklerine bağlı olmaksızın, tüm sigortalılar açısından eşit bir koruma düzeyinin sağlanması gerektiğini vurgulamıştır.In its judgment of 29 September 2022 in Case C-633/20, the Court of
Justice of the European Union (CJEU) held that the activity of a service
provider who encourages its clients to join a group insurance policy previously
taken out in its own name must be regarded as falling within the scope of the
concept of insurance intermediation. Focusing primarily on the elements of
remuneration and intermediary activity, the Court clarified that insurance
distribution is not limited to the mere conclusion of a contract but also
encompasses activities such as providing advice on insurance contracts, making
recommendations, carrying out preparatory work for the conclusion of such
contracts, and contributing to their management and performance. Furthermore,
the Court adopted a broad interpretation of the concept of “remuneration,”
considering it to include any form of material or immaterial benefit received in
return for intermediation activity. Accordingly, any payment from which the
service provider derives an economic advantage should be regarded as
remuneration for intermediary services. The CJEU also emphasized that an
equivalent level of protection must be ensured for all insured persons,
irrespective of whether they obtain insurance coverage through an individual
policy or as part of a group insurance scheme
