Depremlerden Sonra İkincil Afet ve Yönetimi: Bir Yönetim Planı Önerisi
No full textIn this article, the environmental (air-odor-noise-image-water-soil pollution) problems and effects that emerged after the 06.02.2023 earthquakes are expressed as secondary disasters, and a pollution response management plan, and a pollution following plan has been proposed in draft form. For this purpose, especially earthquake and pollution issues were first examined from AFAD studies produced for different types of disasters. An earthquake activity map was prepared with the M>4 earthquake data of Kandilli Observatory. A table of wind velocity-temperature values has been prepared according to the earthquake zone cities of 7-8-9 February, taken daily from MGM. All the examination results, the prepared map and table were examined and interpreted. Accordingly, after the earthquakes, it is suggested that there should be a pollution response management plan and that pollution should be considered as a type of disaster, evaluated and added to the existing community-based disaster response management plans and a draft plan is suggested. This plan should be applied by starting pollution investigations as soon as possible after the earthquake. Because, the earthquakes and their numerous aftershocks occurred in winter conditions. It was first observed that air-water-odor pollution emerged and concentrated in cities where air temperatures increased. Therefore, it is proposed that the seasonal-geographic-topographic conditions of the countries should be taken into consideration in secondary disaster preparation and management. The effects of asbestos and mining in the region were also expressed. Therefore, if secondary disaster is added to the list of disaster types and institutionalized, it is thought that the proposed plan will make a significant benefit to disaster response management. </p

Ranking performance in Statistics and Operational Research: A fuzzy MCDM and cluster-based QS 2024 framework
No full textThe increasing complexity and competitiveness of global higher education necessitate the development of new approaches to rank and differentiate universities, even in relatively specialized fields such as Statistics and Operational Research. This study focuses on the top 250 institutions in this field and proposes a comprehensive ranking analysis framework. First, the impact ratios of basic performance variables, including academic dignity, employer dignity, citation counts, and H-index, are calculated using p,q-Quasirung Orthopair Fuzzy Sets (p,q-QOFSs) operators. Subsequently, universities are classified according to their performance using the K-means clustering method. Following this stage, the clustered universities are evaluated through the ALWAS (Aczel-Alsina Weighted Assessment) methodology to obtain a transparent and reliable ranking. The validity of the presented method was tested with sensitivity analysis. Two performance-based clusters were identified: one with 78 top-tier and another with 172 lower-ranked universities. Reputation indicators explained 54 % of the variance, research-oriented metrics 46 %. The ALWAS results were consistent with QS, placing MIT, Stanford, and Harvard at the top. By employing advanced multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on university rankings and serves as a strategic resource for institutions seeking to enhance their international visibility and competitiveness. The proposed framework offers valuable insights for university administrators, policymakers, and prospective students into the key determinants of excellence in the fields of Statistics and Operations Research
The relationship between fatigue levels and psychosocial adjustment in elderly individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: A descriptive study
No full textBackground: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is associated with physical limitations and significant social, psychological, and behavioral challenges. This study investigates the relationship between fatigue levels and psychosocial adjustment in COPD patients, considering their sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: A descriptive study was conducted with 160 COPD patients hospitalized in the Pulmonology Department of a university hospital. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews using a patient information form, the COPD and Asthma Fatigue Scale (CAFS), and the Psychosocial Adjustment to Illness Scale-Self-Report (PAIS-SR). Statistical analyses included Independent Sample t-test, One-Way ANOVA, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Spearman correlation analysis, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results: The mean age of participants was 68.70 ± 9.41 years; 71.9% were male, and 67.9% had COPD for over six years. Most participants (74.4%) reported limitations in daily living activities due to the disease, and 91.9% reported having social support. Mean scores were 58.03 ± 15.80 on the CAFS and 64.19 ± 6.41 on the PAIS-SR. Significant differences were observed in fatigue and psychosocial adjustment scores based on gender, social support, and disease impact on daily activities (p < 0.05). A weak positive correlation was found between fatigue levels and psychosocial adjustment (p < 0.05). Conclusions: COPD patients experience moderate-to-high fatigue levels and challenges in psychosocial adjustment, with fatigue negatively influencing adjustment. Interventions should focus on enhancing coping strategies, addressing psychosocial needs, and leveraging social support systems to improve patient outcomes
Tuning the solvation structure of zinc ions via urea enables long-cycling alkaline zinc‑manganese flow batteries
No full textThis work proposes a novel strategy utilizing urea as a bifunctional anolyte additive for zinc‑manganese (Zn[sbnd]Mn) flow batteries to regulate dead zinc formation and mitigate dendrite growth. Urea reduces the rate of zinc deposition, facilitating a uniform three-dimensional deposition and offering effective protection against alkaline corrosion of zinc via surface adsorption. The results demonstrate that incorporating 0.1 M urea into the anolyte solution of alkaline Zn[sbnd]Mn flow batteries extends the cycling time to 70 h under a current density of 60 mA cm−2, with an average coulombic efficiency (CE) of 97.1 % and an energy efficiency (EE) of 82.6 %. The results provide a promising and valuable approach to addressing the issue of zinc dendrites while also introducing an economical, sustainable, and highly reliable electrolyte alternative for Zn[sbnd]Mn flow batteries
PSİKOLOJİK DANIŞMANLIK VE REHBERLİK BÖLÜMÜ ÖĞRENCİLERİNİN KAYNAŞTIRMA/BÜTÜNLEŞTİRME UYGULAMALARINA İLİŞKİN METAFORİK ALGILARI
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı, psikolojik danışmanlık ve rehberlik bölümü öğrencilerinin kaynaştırma/bütünleştirme kavramına ilişkin algılarını oluşturan metaforların belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden olgu bilim (fenomenoloji) deseni kullanılmıştır. İlgili çalışmaya 2024-2025 eğitim öğretim dönemi içerisinde özel eğitim ve bütünleştirme dersini alan 75 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacı tarafından geliştirilen form “Kaynaştırma/Bütünleştirme …………… benzer/gibidir; çünkü ……………” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verileri, kategoriler altında içerik analizi yoluyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda bütün katılımcılar tarafından en fazla üretilen metaforlar; “çiçekli bahçe”, “vazo”, “tohum”, “renk paleti”, “yapboz”, “keşfedilmemiş cevher”, “tiyatro oyuncusu”, “oyun oynamak”, “pusula”dır. Bununla birlikte üretilen diğer metaforlar ise; “işleyen çark”, “önemli görev”, “gitar tellerinin akort edilmesi”, “ateşböceği”, “doğa”, “yalnızlık”, “kar tanesi”, “zincir”, “uçak”, “numaralı gözlük”, “yıldız”, “su birikintisi”, “fide”, “yumurta”, “orkestra”, “elin parmakları”, “maden”, “umut”, “tuğla” ile “masa” olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Araştırmadan ulaşılan sonuçlara göre katılımcı öğrencilerin kaynaştırma/bütünleştirme uygulamalarına ilişkin genel algılarının pozitif olduğu görülmüştür.
