This study, which was carried out between 2016 and 2019, examines the methods applied in the project titled “Plural Heritages of the Istanbul Land Walls” supported by the TÜBİTAK Katip Çelebi -Newton Program with grant no. 116K830. It aims to contribute to the literature and experiences on the determination of heritage values by participatory methods. In this study, the walking ethnography method formed the basis of all other methods developed, i.e. cultural probes, co-production and photo-voice workshops. These methods were used to explore the values that communities ascribe to a cultural heritage site.
An Investigation of Motor Skills of 8- to 12-Year-Old Children With Autism Spectrum DIsorder Compared to Typically Developing Peers
No full textThe aim of this study was to examine the gross motor skills of 8-to 12-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in comparison with their typically developing (TD) peers. The research group consisted of a total of 95 participants between the ages of 8-12, 45 students diagnosed with ASD and 50 TD students attending Special Education Practice Schools. Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Competence Test 2 (BOT-2) and Gilliam Autistic Disorder Rating Scale-2 Turkish version (GARS-2 TV) were used as data collection means. In the analysis of the data, Mann Whitney U test was used for two-group comparisons of parameters that don't not show normal distribution. Spearman correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between variables. As a result of the study, bilateral coordination, balance, agility, agility, strength, upper extremity coordination skills and total gross motor scores of children with ASD were found to be lower than those of TD children (p0.05). Further, no signifi- cant relation was found between the GARS-2-TV and BOT-2 scores of the children with ASD. The development of gross motor skills is important for children to gain movement competence and interact with their environment and other children. The design and implementation of appropriate intervention programs to support motor skills can only be possible with the identification and understanding of existing motor deficits
The effect of a brief mindfulness-based stress reduction program on strengthening awareness of medical errors and risks among nursing students
No full textInformation: Healthcare professionals' awareness of medical errors and risks results in effective medical error reporting and patient safety. Mindfulness has positive effects on strengthening attention and awareness. How-ever, little is known about the use of mindfulness in patient safety education among nursing students. This study aimed to examine if a brief mindfulness-based stress reduction program would have a beneficial impact on (a) medical error attitudes, (b) the number of medical errors and risks in a simulation environment, and (c) self-confidence and satisfaction among nursing students.Methods: A quasi-experimental design with a control group was conducted with 78 third-year nursing students at a private, accredited, nursing program in Istanbul, Turkiye.Results: There was a statistically significant improvement in the intervention group between the pre-test and post-test for medical error attitudes (p 0.05).Conclusion: These results suggest that a brief mindfulness-based stress reduction program positively strengthens nursing students' awareness of medical errors and risks

Measurement of the top-quark mass using a leptonic invariant mass in pp collisions at root s=13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Get PDFA measurement of the top-quark mass (m(t)) in the t (t) over bar -> lepton+ jets channel is presented, with an experimental technique which exploits semileptonic decays of b-hadrons produced in the top-quark decay chain. The distribution of the invariant mass m(l mu) of the lepton, l (with l = e, mu), from the W-boson decay and the muon, mu, originating from the b-hadron decay is reconstructed, and a binned-template profile likelihood fit is performed to extract mt. The measurement is based on data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb(-1) of root s = 13 TeV pp collisions provided by the Large Hadron Collider and recorded by the ATLAS detector. The measured value of the top-quark mass is mt = 174.41 +/- 0.39 (stat.) +/- 0.66 (syst.) +/- 0.25 (recoil) GeV, where the third uncertainty arises from changing the Pythia8 parton shower gluon-recoil scheme, used in top-quark decays, to a recently developed setup
Extracting Psychological Features out of Drawings of HTP test
No full textAksaray University;IEEE Seccion Espana;University de La Laguna2023 International Conference on Electrical, Computer, Communications and Mechatronics Engineering, ICECCME 2023 -- 19 July 2023 through 21 July 2023 -- -- 192890The House-Tree-Person (HTP) test is extensively used in different contexts to assess personality related issues. At test time, the respondent is requested to draw a house, a tree and a person. The drawings are later interpreted by therapists to assess emotional indicators. Due to its simplicity, this test is used with individuals aged over 3 years. This paper presents the first results of a bigger project, which aims to use artificial intelligence and image processing techniques to classify House-Tree-Person pictures, to extract psychological features out of those drawings and to find the optimal combination of those signs that may be indicative of psychological maladjustment. Having done the initial HTP classification task, this research focuses on the pictures of houses, searching for the presence/absence of the roof. This work used sketches provided by the department of Psychology of Istanbul Bilgi University and other drawings retrieved from multiple resources and from the internet. In the HTP classification task, the reached performance is 96.81% and 98.84% in the validation and test sets, respectively. In the roof detection task, the achieved accuracy is 70.73%, over a test set of 41 "house"images from which 29 were correctly classified. © 2023 IEEE
Modeling and Implementation of an Adaptive Wireless Sensor Network for Low Power IoT Applications
No full text8th International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologies, SpliTech 2023 -- 20 June 2023 through 23 June 2023 -- Hybrid, Split/Bol -- 191291Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) consist of low cost and energy small electronic devices such as sensors, actuators, routers and gateways. A WSN can sense various type of data, such as temperature, humidity, pH.. etc, with the sensors scattered on an agricultural region and collect the data at a cloud database via multi-hop data transmission routes. The number of periods that a WSN operates is the network lifetime which strongly depends on the limited battery energy of the devices. Hence, in order to prolong the lifetime, we propose a centralized mathematical model which deploys minimum number of devices within limited budget, efficiently utilizes the device battery by planning their active/sleep schedules and determining the minimum energy consuming data flow paths towards the cloud. We also realized the proposed model on hardware level using low power embedded system architectures. © 2023 University of Split, FESB.Istanbul Bilgi University RDI; Turkish Scientific and Research Council; Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, TÜBİTAK, (121N489
Automatic detection of attachment style in married couples through conversation analysis
Get PDFAnalysis of couple interactions using speech processing techniques is an increasingly active multi-disciplinary field that poses challenges such as automatic relationship quality assessment and behavioral coding. Here, we focused on the prediction of individuals' attachment style using interactions of recently married (1-15 months) couples. For low-level acoustic feature extraction, in addition to the frame-based acoustic features such as mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs) and pitch, we used the turn-based i-vector features that are the commonly used in speaker verification systems. Sentiments, positive and negative, of the dialog turns were also automatically generated from transcribed text and used as features. Feature and score fusion algorithms were used for low-level acoustic features and text features. Even though score and feature fusion algorithms performed similar, predictions with score fusion were more consistent when couples have known each other for a longer period of time
Physical activity level and sedentary behavior in patients with bronchiectasis: A systematic review of outcome measures and determinants
No full textBackground: Changes in respiratory functions negatively affect the physical activity (PA) levels of patients with bronchiectasis. Therefore, detecting the most frequently used assessments of PA is essential as determining related factors and improving PA. This review study aimed to investigate the PA levels, compare levels with the recommended PA guidelines, determine the outcome measurements of PA and examine the determinants related to PA in patients with bronchiectasis.Method: This review was conducted using databases of MEDLINE, Web of Science, and PEDro. The searched terms were the variations of the words bronchiectasis and physical activity. Full texts of cross-sectional studies and clinical trials were included. Two authors independently screened the studies for inclusion.Result: The initial search identified 494 studies. A hundred articles were selected for full-text review. Following the application of the eligibility process, 15 articles were included. Twelve studies used activity monitors and five studies used questionnaires. The studies that used activity monitors presented daily step counts. The mean number of steps ranged between 4657 and 9164 for adult patients. It was approximately 5350 steps/day in older patients. One study investigated children's PA level reported 8229 steps/day. The functional exercise capacity, dyspnea, FEV1 and, quality of life as related determinants with PA have been reported in the studies. Conclusion: PA levels of patients with non-cystic fibrosis bronchiectasis were lower than the recommended levels. The objective measurements were frequently used in PA assessment. In further studies, it is needed to investigate the related determinants of PA in patients.& COPY; 2023 SPLF and Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved
