Using qualitative research methods from a feminist perspective ın migration studies
No full textIn recent years, there has been an increase in the number of academic studies on different refugee groups in Turkey and in the world. In particular, when we look at the migration literature in Turkey in the field of social sciences, it is seen that most of the studies carried out are based on qualitative research methods. Since the field of migration has intersectional disadvantages, the use of qualitative research is very important in understanding and defining this field. In migration studies, using qualitative research methods to understand the meaning and world of thought of individuals in-depth, increases the functionality of the research. The focus of this study is to discuss how the qualitative method used in the thesis study, which is based on feminist theory and carried out with the participation of young refugee women, is used in the field of migration, which includes many problem areas in itself. Within the scope of the study, the feminist perspective adopted by the researchers to focus on the experiences and wareness
of young refugee women and the strengths and limitations of the qualitative method used by the researchers were discussed. In the study; The "ethical" aspect of the research, "field dynamics" in the data collection process and "researcher's position" in the data collection process were discussed and ethical issues in the qualitative research process were discussed with examples from the field. It is aimed to make a contribution to the field, considering the limited resources related to the migration studies research process in Turkey's migration literatur
Analysis of user attitude toward smart city mobile applications through technology acceptance model
No full textŞehirlerin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerinin bir sonucu olarak akıllı şehir uygulamaları bir zorunluluk haline gelmektedir. Kent sakinlerinin mobil uygulamalar aracılığıyla akıllı şehir uygulamalarına entegrasyonu ise bu uygulamaları benimsemesine bağlıdır. Bu çalışma, İzmir Ulaşım Merkezi (İZUM) uygulamasına yönelik kullanıcı tutumunu teknoloji kabul modeli aracılığıyla analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmada; İZUM kullanıcı yorumları Maxqda yazılımı aracılığıyla ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, uygulamaya dönük kullanıcı tutumu olumsuzdur. Algılanan yararlılık, kullanıcıların tutumu üzerinde daha fazla etkiye sahip olup, en temel sorun sisteme erişilebilirlik ve sistemin eksik verilerle çalışmasıdır.As a result of cities' adverse effects on environmental sustainability, smart city applications have become a necessity. The integration of citizens into smart city applications through mobile applications depends on their adoption. This study aims to analyze the user attitude towards the Izmir Transportation Center application through the technology acceptance model. The user comments were analyzed via Maxqda software by using the content analysis method. The results indicate that user attitude towards the application is negative. Perceived usefulness has more effect on user attitude and the main problem of the application is system accessibility and running with incomplete data
Current status o the old population Turkey and The World
No full textYaşlılık, önlenmesi mümkün olmayan biyolojik, kronolojik ve psikolojik olarak gerilemelerin yaşandığı bir durumdur. Bireyin yaşam boyu maruz kaldığı çevresel faktörler, genetik özellikleri, yaşam şekli, beslenme alışkanlıkları gibi birçok etmen yaşlanma sürecini etkilemektedir. Toplum içindeki 65 yaş ve üzeri nüfusun sayısı ve oranı her geçen yıl artmaktadır. Toplum içinde yaşayan genel nüfus içerisinde, yaşlı nüfus oranının %10’u geçmesi o toplumun yaşlandığını göstermektedir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü’nün (DSÖ) 2020 yılı verilerine göre, 2019 yılında 60 yaş ve üzeri insan sayısı 1 milyar iken bu sayının 2030’a kadar 1,4 milyara ve 2050’ye kadar 2,1 milyara çıkması beklenmektedir. Nüfustaki bu artış daha önce görülmemiş bir hızda gerçekleşmekte ve özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde önümüzdeki on yıllarda hızlanması beklenmektedir. Ülkemizde bulunan yaşlı nüfusu 2010 yılında 5.327.736 kişi iken 2020 yılında %49 artış göstermiştir. Yaşlı nüfusta görülen bu artış 2030 yılında %12.9, 2060 yılında %22,6 ve 2080 yılında ise %25,6 olacağı beklenmektedir.Aging is a condition in which biological, chronological and psychological regressions that cannot be prevented are experienced. Many factors such as environmental factors, genetic characteristics, lifestyle, nutritional habits that an individual is exposed to throughout his life affect the aging process. The number and proportion of the population aged 65 and over in the society is increasing every year. The fact that
the proportion of the elderly population exceeds 10% in the general population living in the society indicates that the society is aging. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) 2020 data, while the number of people aged 60 and over was 1 billion in 2019, this number is expected to increase to 1.4 billion by 2030 and to 2.1 billion by 2050. This increase in population is occurring at an unprecedented rate and is expected to accelerate in the coming decades, especially in developing countries. While the elderly population in our country was 5,327,736 in 2010, it increased by 49% in 2020. This increase in the elderly population is expected to be 12.9% in 2030, 22.6% in 2060 and 25.6% in 2080
Enhancing the photo-response characteristics of graphene/n-Si based Schottky barrier photodiodes by increasing the number of graphene layers
No full textThe impact of the number of graphene layers on the spectral responsivity and response speed of graphene/n-type Si (Gr/n-Si)-based Schottky barrier photodiodes is investigated. Gr/n-Si photodiode devices are fabricated by transferring chemical vapor deposition-grown graphene layers one by one on n-Si substrates, reaching up to three graphene layers. The devices show a clear rectifying Schottky character and have a maximum responsivity at a peak wavelength of 905 nm. Wavelength-resolved and time-dependent photocurrent measurements demonstrated that both spectral responsivity and response speed are enhanced as the number of graphene layers is increased from 1 to 3 on n-Si substrates. For example, the spectral responsivity and the response speed of the fabricated device were found to be improved by about 15% (e.g., from 0.65 to 0.75 AW-1) and 50% (e.g., 14 to 7 μs), respectively, when three graphene layers are used as the hole-collecting cathode electrode. The experimentally obtained results showed that the device parameters, such as spectral responsivity and response speed of Gr/n-Si Schottky barrier photodiodes, can be boosted simply by increasing the number of graphene layers on n-Si substrates. © 2022 Author(s)
Waiting for regeneration: Temporalities of gentrification in İzmir Ballıkuyu neighborhood
No full textThis paper explores the process of waiting in temporalities of gentrification in the case of Ballıkuyu neighborhood. For Ballıkuyu, which is one of the oldest districts at the center of Izmir, Turkey, local authorities portrayed a shiny future with a regeneration and development plan that they announced in 2014. Since then, oscillating between hope and despair, the residents of the neighborhood have been waiting for the implementation of this plan, under the pressure of displacement due to both gentrification and the gradual decay of their built environment. With a longitudinal research conducted between 2014 and 2021, this paper aims to get insights into the use of this process as a strategy by local authorities, into its effects on socio-spatial integrity of the built environment and into the potentials that it may hold for the residents. The research methodology depends on semi-structured interviews and site observations that expand over this time period, and integrated with the content analysis of social media posts and news on local newspapers. The study concludes that even though the prolonged waiting process weakens the residents’ sense of agency, place attachment and energy for collective resistance, it is not a stagnant situation, but an active condition which perpetually compels the residents to develop new social and spatial tactics not only for solidarity and better communication, but also for re-appropriating a more livable environment. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V
Light-induced modification of the Schottky barrier height in graphene/Si based near-infrared photodiodes
No full textThe impact of light on the Schottky barrier height (SBH) in p-type graphene/n-type Si (p-Gr/n-Si) based near-infrared photodiodes is investigated. Hall effect and optoelectronic transport measurements carried out under illumination of 905 nm wavelength light showed that zero-bias SBH in such photodiodes can be effectively tuned in a range between 0.7 and 0.9 eV consistent with the variation in their open-circuit voltage. Shockley-Read-Hall model, which considers the charge recombination through mid-gap and interface states at the p-Gr/n-Si heterojunction, is used to explain the experimentally observed nonlinear dependence of SBH on the incident light. Light induced tunability of SBH at the graphene/semiconductor heterojunction is of great importance especially for the development of new generation optically driven devices in which graphene acts as a functioning element. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.BAP-089The authors thank the researchers in Center for Materials Research of ?zmir Institute of Technology (?YTE MAM) and Sparks Electronics Ltd. in Turkey for their support in device fabrication processes.

Evaluation of life improvement in trans men After mastectomy: A Prospective study using the TRANS-Q
No full textBackground: Mastectomy is the most common and sometimes the only surgery performed in FtM transgender individuals. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the improvement in life standards of patients who underwent double incision mastectomy with free nipple-areolar complex graft and periareolar mastectomy by using TRANS-Q in trans men. Materials and Methods: TRANS-Q was performed in 71 trans men at the preoperative and postoperative 1st year, and the revision and complication rates in both groups were compared. Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in the postoperative satisfaction rates in both groups. We observed that the patients who underwent periareolar mastectomy had significantly higher satisfaction rates than the patients who underwent double incision mastectomy with free nipple areolar complex graft. In both groups, postoperative satisfaction rates were found to be significantly higher. Conclusion: Improvement in life standards has been observed in trans men who underwent mastectomy, and late results should be evaluated with further prospective studies.

Renal infectious diseases
No full textÜriner sistem enfeksiyonları, en sık görülen bakteriyel enfeksiyonlardan birdir ve böbrek, üreter, üretra, mesane ve idrar yoluna kadar olan bölgelerdeki enfeksiyonu ifade etmektedir. Üriner sistem enfeksiyonları anatomik olarak alt ve üst üriner sistem enfeksiyonu olarak ikiye ayırmaktadır. Alt üriner sistem enfeksiyonları; sistit ve üretritis, üst üriner sistem enfeksiyonları; akut piyelonefrit, kronik piyelonefrit ve renal tüberkülozdur. Üriner sistem enfeksiyonlarına sıklıkla Escherichia Coli yol açmaktadır. Ayrıca bu enfeksiyonların %30'u Enterobacteriaceae ailesinin bazı üyeleri, %20 Staphylococcus aureus ve gram (+) koklar, pneumoniae ve pseudomonas, proteus vulgaris, streptococcus faecalis, heamoplilus influenza neden olmaktadır. Üriner sistem enfeksiyonları, her yıl tüm dünya genelinde yaklaşık 150 milyon insanı etkilemektedir. Kadınlarda erkeklerden daha sık görülmesine rağmen, her yaş ve cinsiyette görülmektedir. Kadınlarda üretra ile anüsün anatomik yakınlığı ve üretranın kısa olması nedeniyle üropatojenler sıklıkla rektal floradan kaynaklanır. Seksüel ilişki, diyafram kullanımı, tekrarlayan üriner sistem enfeksiyonları, hamilelik, üriner kataterizasyon, anatomik anormallikler, immünosüpresyon risk faktörleri arasındadır.Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial infections and refer to the infection in areas up to the kidney, ureter, urethra, bladder and urinary tract. Urinary tract infections are anatomically divided into upper and lower urinary tract infections. Lower urinary tract infections; cystitis and urethritis, upper urinary tract infections; acute pyelonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis and renal tuberculosis. Escherichia Coli often causes urinary tract infections. In addition, 30% of these infections are caused by some members of the Enterobacteriaceae family, 20% by Staphylococcus aureus and gram (+) cocci, pneumoniae and pseudomonas, proteus vulgaris, streptococcus faecalis, hemoplilus influenza. Urinary tract infections affect approximately 150 million people worldwide each year. Although it is more common in women than men, it is seen in all ages and genders. Because of the anatomical proximity of the urethra and anus in women, and the short urethra, uropathogens often originate from the rectal flora. Sexual intercourse, diaphragm use, recurrent urinary tract infection, pregnancy, urinary catheterization, anatomical abnormalities, immunosuppression are among the risk factors
