A new integrated rough multi-criteria decision-making model for enterprise resource planning software selection
Get PDFEnterprise resource planning (ERP) is widely used to boost the total market power of businesses. The wrong selection is one of the key reasons why ERP installations fail. Due to the complexity of the business environment and the range of ERP systems, choosing an ERP system is a complex and time-consuming procedure. ERP alternatives may be assessed using several criteria, so the ERP selection process may be considered a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In this study, the rough best worst method (BWM) was used to determine criteria weights, while the newly developed rough integrated simple weighted sum product (WISP) was used to rank ERP alternatives. Results suggest that the SFT -4 coded software is regarded as the best option, followed by SFT -5, SFT -6, SFT -2, SFT -3, and SFT -1. Results of the newly developed rough WISP method are compared to those of existing rough techniques in the sensitivity analysis. The differences between them have been found to be negligible. The outcomes show how effectively developed rough BWM and WISP integrated method performs in terms of ERP selection with usability, accuracy, ease of use, and consistency. This study will help decision-makers in a context where ERP is implemented choose the best ERP software for different sectors
Exploring the impacts of perceived locus of control on post-traumatic stress disorder among disaster survivors: A systematic review
Get PDFAim: The present systematic review explored the impacts of perceived locus of control on PTSD among individuals experiencing disasters. Method: This is a systematic review study carried out through a search of the relevant research published in English over the period December 2021 to April 2022. Accordingly, we sought the studies to review on the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane and Google Scholar databases using the keywords Child, Children, Adolescent, Adolescence, Adult, Aged, Elderly, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, PTSD, Internal-External Control, Locus of Control, Disasters, Natural Disasters. Results: A total of 1.011 studies were found in the five databases using the keywords above. Following the exclusions, the remaining six studies were recruited for this systematic review. The six studies in question addressed earthquakes (2), hurricanes (1), wildfires (1), SARS (1) and fireworks explosions (1). In the study with wildfire survivors, there was a weak significant association between external locus of control and PTSD among those directly exposed to the disaster (r = .15, p < .01). The study with survivors of the SARS epidemic demonstrated that those with a high perceived chance (external) locus of control suffered PTSD (p = .001). An internal locus of control is considered important in preventing PTSD, although an external locus of control appears to be a variable that causes/increases the prevalence of PTSD. Conclusion: It was concluded that perceived locus of control is related to PTSD in individuals experiencing a disaster. The additional evidence was that post-disaster PTSD among those with a high perceived external locus of control is stronger than those with a high perceived internal locus of control

Bu doğrultuda 2022-2023 Eğitim Öğretim yılında kullanılan 5,6,7 ve 8. sınıf seviyelerinde sekiz adet ders kitabı incelenmiştir. Mevcut çalışmada nitel analiz yöntemlerinden doküman analizi, çalışmanın veri analizinde ise betimsel analiz kullanılmıştır. Betimsel analiz için Koltaş (2020)' ın değerler değerlendirme ölçeğinde yer alan tema ve kategorilerden yararlanılmıştır. Kodlar ise bir uzman ve iki araştırmacı tarafından ortaklaşa belirlenmiştir. Araştırma 2018 yılında güncellenen fen bilimleri öğretim programında yer alan on kök değerden oluşmaktadır. Bu kök değerler: Dostluk, dürüstlük, adalet, özdenetim, sevgi, saygı, sorumluluk, sabır, yardımseverlik, vatanseverliktir. Bu araştırmada Nkod yazılımı kullanılmıştır. Kitaplar ayrı ayrı baştan sona 10 adet kök değerler, alt boyutları ve kodlar dikkate alınarak iki araştırmacı ve bir uzman ile Adobe Acrobat Pro DC yazılımı kullanılarak kodlanmıştır. Daha sonra bu kodlamalar Nkod yazılımına pdf formatında yüklenmiştir. Nkod aracılığıyla kodlamalar tablo halinde .csv formatına dönüştürülmüştür. Microsoft Excel programı kullanılarak bu .csv dosyası gerekli düzeltmelerden sonra değer kodlamaları ile frekans değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Daha sonra değerler ile ilgili frekansların yüzdeleri oluşturularak grafikler elde edilmiştir. MEB tarafından kabul edilen 5.,6.,7. ve 8. sınıf seviyelerinde fen bilimleri ders kitaplarında toplam 1698 adet değer ifadesi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. En çok değer ifadesi 5. sınıf seviyesine ait ders kitabında yer almıştır. En az değer ifadesi ise 7. sınıf seviyesine ders kitabıdır. Ünitelere göre tespit edilen değerler birbirlerinden farklılık göstermiştir. Çalışmada yer alan ders kitapların tamamı göz önüne alındığında hiç yer verilmeyen dürüstlük ve sabır değerleri olduğu tespit edilmiştir. 5. sınıf seviyesinde fen bilimleri ders kitaplarında yer alan değerler metin içerisinde doğrudan tespit edilememiştir. Anlamsal bağlamda çıkarımlar yapılarak saptanabilmektedir. 5. sınıf seviyesinde iki farklı yayın tarafından oluşturulan fen ders kitaplarında en fazla kullanılan kök değerler sırasıyla sorumluluk (%74,30), yardımseverlik (%11,34), adalet (%8,49), saygı (%3,00), vatanseverlik (2,31), özdenetim (0,23) dir. 6. sınıf seviyesinde iki farklı yayın tarafından oluşturulan fen ders kitaplarında en fazla kullanılan kök değerler sırasıyla sorumluluk (%78,89), yardımseverlik (14,38), saygı (%3,33), adalet (%1,91), vatanseverlik (%0,95), sevgi ve dostluk (%0,23). 7. sınıf seviyesinde iki farklı yayın tarafından oluşturulan fen ders kitaplarında en fazla kullanılan kök değerler sırasıyla sorumluluk (%93,49), yardımseverlik (%5,51), sevgi (%0,52), vatanseverlik ve adalet (%0,26). 8. sınıf seviyesinde iki farklı yayın tarafından oluşturulan fen ders kitaplarında en fazla kullanılan kök değerler sırasıyla sorumluluk (%88,67), yardımseverlik (%8,27), vatanseverlik (%1,96), adalet (%0,43), saygı (%0,65) tır. Ders kitaplarında (5-8) seviyelerinde en az kullanılan %0,17 (3 tane) sevgi, %0,17 (3 tane) dostluk, %0,06 (1 tane) özdenetim değerleridir. En fazla yer verilen %83,47 (1414 tane) sorumluluk, %12,16 (168 tane) yardımseverlik değerleridir. Araştırma sonucunda incelenen ders kitaplarında kök değerlerin sınıf seviyelerine göre dağılımları farklılık göstermektedir. Ulaşılan bir diğer sonuç ise dürüstlük ve sabır kök değerlerine kitaplarda yer verilmediği tespit edilmiştir. Özellikle her sınıf seviyesinde yer alan metin ve etkinliklerin farklı kök değerler içermesi öğrencilere fayda sağlayacaktır. Farklı kök değerlerin yer aldığı etkinlikler ve metinlerin oluşturulması için düzenlemeler yapılması gerekmektedir.In this research, it is aimed to examine the texts in secondary school science textbooks in terms of values education. In this regard, eight textbooks at the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grade levels used in the 2022-2023 academic year were examined. In the current study, document analysis, one of the qualitative analysis methods, was used and descriptive analysis was used in the data analysis of the study. For descriptive analysis, the themes and categories in Koltaş's (2020) values evaluation scale were used. The codes were determined jointly by an expert and two researchers. The research consists of ten root values included in the science curriculum updated in 2018. These root values are: Friendship, honesty, justice, self-control, love, respect, responsibility, patience, helpfulness and patriotism. Nkod software was used in this research. The books were coded separately, from beginning to end, using Adobe Acrobat Pro DC software, by two researchers and an expert, taking into account 10 root values, sub-dimensions and codes. These codings were then uploaded to Nkod software in pdf format. Using Nkod, the codings were converted into a tabular .csv format. After the necessary corrections in this .csv file using the Microsoft Excel program, value coding and frequency values were calculated. Then, graphs were obtained by creating percentages of the frequencies related to the values.5th, 6th, 7th grades accepted by the Ministry of Education. It was determined that there were a total of 1694 value expressions in science textbooks at the and 8th grade levels. The most value statements were included in the 5th grade textbook. The minimum value expression is a textbook for the 7th grade level. The values determined according to the units differed from each other. Considering all the textbooks included in the study, it was determined that there were values of honesty and patience that were not included at all. The values in the science textbooks at the 5th grade level could not be directly determined in the text. It can be determined by making inferences in semantic context. The most used root values in science textbooks created by two different publications at the 5th grade level are responsibility (74.30%), helpfulness (11.34%), justice (8.49%), respect (3.00%), and patriotism (2.31), self-control (0.23). The most commonly used root values in science textbooks created by two different publications at the 6th grade level are responsibility (78.89%), helpfulness (14.38), respect (3.33%), justice (1.91%) and patriotism. (0.95%), love and friendship (0.23%). The most used root values in science textbooks created by two different publications at the 7th grade level are responsibility (93.49%), helpfulness (5.51%), love (0.52%), patriotism and justice (0.26%). truck. The most commonly used root values in science textbooks created by two different publications at the 8th grade level are responsibility (88.67%), helpfulness (8.27%), patriotism (1.96%), justice (0.43%). respect (0.65%). The least used values in textbooks at levels (5-8) are 0.17% (3) love, 0.17% (3) friendship, 0.06% (1) self-control. The most frequently mentioned values are responsibility, 83.47% (1414), and helpfulness, 12.16% (168). As a result of the research, the distribution of root values varies according to grade levels in the textbooks examined. Another result was that the root values of honesty and patience were not included in the books. It will be especially beneficial for students to include different root values in the texts and activities at each grade level. Arrangements need to be made to create activities and texts that include different root values
MODELING CLIMATE CHANGE SCENARIOS FOR SPRING BARLEY IN SOUTHEAST OF ALMATY IN KAZAKHSTAN USING THE LINTUL APPROACH
Get PDFBarley stands as a cornerstone in agricultural landscape of Kazakhstan, weaving through diverse climate zones, and annually gracing over 1.5 million hectares. The intricate interplay between climate and food systems necessitates thorough analysis and strategic measures to food safety and nutritional security, as the evolving climate significantly influences both the quantity and quality of our food resources. This study aims to employ the LINTUL-MULTICROP Model to assess how spring barley adapts to both today’s climatic conditions and potential climate change scenarios to elevated levels of carbon dioxide and temperature under the specific conditions of southeast of Almaty. Three different global climate change models were studied (GCMs); i) GFDL-ESM2M, ii) HadGEM2-AO, and iii) MPI-ESM-MR for historical period (1986-2005) under RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 during the periods of i) 2040-2059 years scenarios, ii) 2060-2079 years scenarios, and iii) 2080-2099 years scenarios. Overall, the HADGEMAO and MPIESMMR models exhibited promising results in simulating yield, projecting an increase in spring barley yield for both RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios in GFDL-ESM2M model case also demonstrated stable increase in rainfed conditions. In conclusion, it should be noted that in the conditions of Kazakhstan, the cultivation of spring barley tends to change to growth in the southeast of Almaty
Heterodera schachtii (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) Associated with Cabbage-Cultivation Systems in Anatolia Region of Türkiye
Get PDFHeterodera schachtii (Schmidt, 1871) (Nematoda: Heteroderidae) is one of the most widespread plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) associated with cabbages, which cause severe yield losses in cruciferous vegetables. This study aimed to improve the current understanding of the prevalence and detection of H. schachtii in the cabbage-growing areas of Ni & gbreve;de Province, T & uuml;rkiye. Field surveys were conducted between November and December 2021, and 100 soil samples were collected immediately after cabbage harvesting. Heterodera schachtii populations were identified by morphological and morphometric methods along with Internal Transcribed Spacer of the ribosomal region (ITS-rDNA) and Cytochrome Oxidase Subunit (COI-mtDNA) sequencing. The mean body length of H. schachtii was 463 +/- 7 mu m, while stylet and hyaline length ranged between 20.7-27.8 mu m and 20.1-32.1 mu m, respectively. Nearly half of the surveyed areas were infested with H. schachtii with a 41% incidence rate. However, the Merkez District had the highest proportion of infested fields with an over 51% incidence rate. The population density was determined in 41 samples with a mean of 79.5 cysts per 250 g of soil. These results will help to determine the control and management strategies of H. schachtii.This study is a part of Gulsum Badel Akyol's thesis at the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences of Nide omer Halisdemir University
Isolation and Characterization of Lytic Bacteriophages Specific to Foodborne Pathogenic Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Use as a Biopreservative in Chicken Meat
Get PDFIn this study, bacteriophages specific to Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains were isolated from wastewaters, and their potential to be used as a bioprotective in chicken meat was investigated. Then, among the 35 isolated bacteriophages, two phages (vB_PaeS-K10 and vB_PaeS-K13) with a wide host cell range and strong clear plaque formation were selected and their morphological, physical-chemical, and genetic properties and their inhibitory effects against the host cell in chicken meat were determined. As a consequence of the examination by TEM (transmission electron microscopy), vB_PaeS-K10 and vB_PaeS-K13 phages belong to the family Siphoviridae of the order Caudovirales. The genome size, multiplicity of infection value, latent period, burst time, and burst size of vB_PaeS-K10 phage were 54.20 kb, 10, 75 min, 30 min, and 34.86, respectively, whereas those of vB_PaeS-K13 phage were 44.06 kb, 0.01, 20 min, 35 min, and 35.95. Both of them were resistant to high temperature and entirely active between pH 3 and 12, and the rate of absorption of the phages against their host cells increased with Ca2+ ions. Lytic activity test revealed that both phages reduced host cell density in LB broth at 4 degrees C and 37 degrees C. Moreover, vB_PaeS-K10 and vB_PaeS-K13 phages lethally infect P. aeruginosa at 4 degrees C in chicken meat, and this situation is the evidence of their potential to be utilized as bioprotective in chicken meat.Unit of the Scientific Research Projects of Nigde Omer Halisdemir University [GTB 2019/01-BAGEP]This study was a part of the project supported by the Unit of the Scientific Research Projects of Nigde Omer Halisdemir University (Project No: GTB 2019/01-BAGEP)
Primary school teacher candidates' perceptions of aesthetics: a case study from Turkey
Get PDFThis study examines the metaphors about aesthetics produced by 67 primary school teacher candidates at a state university in Turkey. The research is a basic qualitative study. In the determination of the study group of the research, the easily accessible sampling method, one of the purposeful sampling methods, was preferred. The data were collected through an opinion form, which was created using structured pattern questions. Content analysis technique was used in the analysis and the interpretation of the data. The metaphors provided by the participants were analyzed and classified under various themes. The results show that the aesthetic perceptions of primary school teacher candidates differ significantly and vary; also reveal that they prioritize form more in aesthetics, explain aesthetics based on comparison, and have a mental image focused on value judgment. The study empirically demonstrates that overall the same metaphor is understood differently by different people and provides clear evidence for individual differences in understanding metaphor
Elucidating the genetic diversity and population structure of international cotton germplasm using inter-primer binding site (iPBS) retrotransposon marker system
Get PDFCotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is an important crop throughout the world and is one of the most important industrial raw materials. It is very important to characterize the available cotton germplasm aiming to identify novel genetic and genomic resources that can be used for future cotton breeding. Keeping this in view, a total of 179 cotton genotypes were characterized with the inter-primer binding site (iPBS) retrotransposon marker system. Seven iPBSretrotransposon primers yielded a total of 134 scoreable bands and among these, 128 bands were polymorphic. The mean polymorphic bands per primer were 18.28, with values ranging between 16 and 21. The mean polymorphism rate of 7 iPBS retrotransposon primers was calculated as 96.28%. The polymorphism information content value varied between 0.31 and 0.46 with an average of 0.395. Genetic similarity was calculated using the POPGENE software and values ranged between 0.320 and 0.955. Population structure and neighbor-joining analysis divided the evaluated germplasm into two populations. The analysis of molecular variance revealed that maximum variations (96%) are due to differences within the populations. The information presented here has comprehensively demonstrated the potential of iPBSretrotransposon markers in detecting genetic diversity and phylogenetic association analyses of cotton. This knowledge will be helpful for future cotton breeding.Scientific Research Project Coordination Unit of Nigde Omer Halisdemir University; [TGT 2020/22-LUETEP]This research (Project Number: TGT 2020/22-LUETEP) was funded by the Scientific Research Project Coordination Unit of Nigde Omer Halisdemir University

Devletin Dönüşümünde İletişim Teknolojisi Yayılımının Rolü: Osmanlı İmparatorluğu Örneği (1823-1923)
Get PDFThis study examines and evaluates the processes of communication technology transfer and adoption during the last century of the Ottoman Empire, 1823-1923. To this end, the adoption processes of four technologies, the postal system, telegraph, telephone, and the printing press, are examined in detail. The objective is to explain the underlying reasons for technology adoption by the government by using a historical perspective. In general, the study's primary purpose is to examine the effect of technology on administrative processes historically. The findings of the study show that these communication technologies were instrumental. First, they connected the Ottoman countryside to the Imperial Capital (Istanbul) for administrative and military purposes, making it easier for the central Ottoman Administration to control the Empire. Second, they were instrumental in integrating the Empire's economy into the global capitalist economy, and along the way, transforming the Ottomans into a de-facto semi-colony. The impact created by these technologies, which were used for administrative centralization provides important lessons for current technological transformation processes
