Zen ve Kelimeler -Zen Geleneğinde Kutsal Metin-
No full textThe Zen tradition defines itself as a teaching and truth that is beyond words and language. According to Zen masters, Zen truth cannot be explained in words or language, nor can it be understood through the dualistic thought structure. Despite this negative attitude towards words and language, the concept of sacred texts has developed in the Zen tradition, with a rich corpus having emerged. The focus of the article is on the place of sacred texts in the Zen tradition. The article accepts the thesis that, despite the Zen tradition's negative attitudes toward language and words, the concept of sacred texts exists within it and overlaps with other religious traditions. Just as in other religious traditions, the Zen tradition has texts that are accepted as being sacred. Like any other tradition, however, the Zen concept of sacred texts has also been accepted as having its own unique aspects. In this context, the main claims of the article are that the literature of Zen sacred texts consists of two basic categories with different functions; that even though Zen negates language, it manifests itself through words and gains existence through texts in the minds, lives, and history of its accepters; and that sacred texts are also ritual objects and objects of worship in the Zen tradition. © 2024 Istanbul Universitesi.

The effect of ice application on hoku point and kaleidoscope application on cannulation related pain management in dialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula
No full textArteriovenöz fistül kanülasyonu ağrılı ve sık uygulanan bir işlemdir. Hemşirelerin bu girişimler sırasında hastanın ağrısının azaltılmasında nonfarmakolojik uygulamaları kullanabilirler. Çalışmanın amacı; hemodiyaliz tedavisi alan hastalarda arteriovenöz fistül kanülasyonuna bağrı ağrının yönetiminde Hoku noktasına buz uygulaması ve kaleydoskop uygulamasının etkinliğini ve ağrıyı etkileyen faktörlerin değerlendirilmesidir. Randomize kontrollü tek kör desende gerçekleştirilen çalışmanın evrenini Mart- Haziran 2023 tarihleri arasında üç farklı diyaliz merkezinde takip ve tedavileri yapılan hastalar (N=158) örneklemini ise dahil edilme kriterlerine uyan, G power analiz sonucuna göre belirlenen hastalar (n=102) oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veriler; Hasta Tanılama Formu, Sayısal Derecelendirme Ölçeği ve Yaşam Bulgusu Takip Formu kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Hastaların rutin diyaliz tedavisi sırasında kanülasyona bağlı ağrı düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir. Bir sonraki diyaliz seansında uygulamalara başlanmış ve takip eden iki farklı diyaliz seansında hastaların ağrı düzeyleri değerlendirilmiştir. Veriler IBM SPSS V23 ve R Programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Hastaların uygulamalar öncesinde sayısal derecelendirme ölçeğine göre fistül kanülasyonuna bağlı ağrı puanlarının ortalamanın üzerinde olduğu saptandı. Kaleydoskop grubunda 6,12±1,98, buz uygulama gurubunda 5,76±1,95, kontrol grubunda 5,56±2,02 idi ve aralarında anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır. Uygulamalara başlandıktan sonraki ağrı puanları değerlendirildiğinde; kaleydoskop grubundaki hastaların ilk kaleydoskop uygulaması sırasında değerlendirilen kanülasyona bağlı ağrı puanı 4,76±1,54, ikinci seans ağrı puanı 4,65±1,63, buz uygulama grubunun ilk uygulama sırasındaki kanülasyona bağlı ağrı puanı 4,32±1,63, ikinci seans ağrı puanının 4,26±1,83 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kontrol grubu ağrı puanı ikinci seansta 5,26±2,03, üçüncü seansta 5,5±2,14 olarak elde dilmiştir. Kaleydoskop grubu ve Hoku noktasına buz uygulama grubunun ağrı değerleri kontrol grubuna göre ilk ve ikinci uygulamada istatiksel olarak daha düşük bulunmuştur (p=0,045). Sonuç olarak kanülasyona bağlı ağrının azaltılmasında Hoku noktasına buz uygulaması ve kaleydoskop uygulamasının etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. Bu nedenle hemodiyaliz tedavisinde iğne kanülasyonuna bağlı ağrının kontrolünde maliyeti düşük, uygulaması kolay olduğundan kaleydoskop ve buz uygulamasının kullanımı önerilmektedir.The cannulation of arteriovenous fistulas is a painful and frequently performed procedure. Nurses can employ non-pharmacological interventions to reduce patient pain during these procedures. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effectiveness of ice application to the Hoku point and kaleidoscope application in managing needle-cannulation pain in hemodialysis patients, and to assess factors influencing pain. The study was conducted in a randomized controlled single-blind design. The population consisted of patients undergoing hemodialysis treatment in three different dialysis centers from March to June 2023 (N=158), with a sample of 102 patients meeting inclusion criteria determined by G Power analysis. Data were collected using a Patient Identification Form, Numeric Rating Scale, and Quality of Life Follow-up Form. Pain levels associated with cannulation during routine dialysis sessions were assessed. Interventions commenced during the subsequent dialysis session, and pain levels were evaluated over two consecutive sessions thereafter. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS V23 and R Program. Prior to interventions, mean pain scores related to fistula cannulation, as measured on the Numeric Rating Scale, were above average. In the kaleidoscope group, pain scores were 6.12±1.98, in the ice application group 5.76±1.95, and in the control group 5.56±2.02, with no significant differences found among them. Post-intervention pain scores revealed that during the first kaleidoscope application, pain related to cannulation was 4.76±1.54, and during the second session it was 4.65±1.63. In the ice application group, pain scores were 4.32±1.63 during the first session and 4.26±1.83 during the second session. The control group reported pain scores of 5.26±2.03 and 5.5±2.14 during the second and third sessions, respectively. Compared to the control group, both the kaleidoscope and ice application groups showed statistically lower pain scores during the first and second applications (p=0.045). In conclusion, ice application to the Hoku point and kaleidoscope application were found effective in reducing pain associated with cannulation. Therefore, due to their cost-effectiveness and ease of application, kaleidoscope and ice application are recommended for managing needle-cannulation pain in hemodialysis treatment
An enhanced sparrow search algorithm for model order reduction of proton exchange membrane fuel cell system
No full textRecently, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have gotten attention due to their many advantages such as low operating temperature, fast start-up capability, and high current density. As a result of growing interest in PEMFC technology, issues related to the operation and control of the PEMFC are also showing an increasing trend. A PEMFC system consists of several subsystems and thus is described by a higher-order model. It is known that such models have some drawbacks in terms of difficulty in controller design and computational complexity in real-time analysis. Considering the importance of applying proper control actions in a short time to avoid any damage, the need to develop a reduced-order model for the PEMFCs arises. This paper proposes an enhanced variant of the sparrow search algorithm (SSA), named ESSA, for model order reduction of the PEMFC system. The aim is to get a second-order model with minimum loss in important features of the original model. To examine the performance of the proposed method, a comparison is done with other meta-heuristic-based methods and some other literature approaches. Results validate the robustness of the proposed method for PEMFC system order diminution as well as its applicability to other complex systems
JSS⊕- Supplemented modules
No full textWe describe J(SS)(circle plus)- supplemented modules as a proper generalisation of circle plus(ss)-supplemented modules. We show that each direct summand of a J(SS)(circle plus)-supplemented module satisfying condition (D3) is also J(SS)(circle plus)-supplemented. Then we prove that the finite direct sum of J(SS)(circle plus)- supplemented submodules as a duo module is J(SS)(circle plus)- supplemented. Moreover, we have given some types of rings whose modules are J(SS)(circle plus)-supplemented
Translation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Profile of Fatigue and Discomfort-Sicca Symptoms Inventory (Short Form) for Patients with Primary Sjogren's Syndrome: Validity and Reliability Analysis of the Turkish Version
No full textBackground: The study aimed to translate the Profile of Fatigue and Discomfort-Sicca Symptoms Inventory Short Form questionnaire into the Turkish language (PROFAD-SSI-SF-T) and to investigate its psychometric properties. Methods: The study was completed by 104 patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome (pSS), and 83 patients filled out the scale a second time after 7 days for the retest measurement. The PROFAD-SSISF-T, Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy (Fatigue) (FACIT-F), EULAR Sjogren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), and Patient Global Assessment (PaGA) were applied to 104 patients with pSS for convergent validity. Results: PROFAD-SSI-SF-T found excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=0.935) and high test- retest reliability (ICC: 0.83; 95% CI: 0.75-0.88). The standard error of measurement ranged from 1.01 to 3.52, and the minimum detectable difference ranged from 0.92 to 1.17. There was a range from low to high correlation between the PROFAD-SSI-SF-T with ESSPRI, FACIT-F, and EQ-5D. There were no floor and ceiling effects in the PROFAD-SSI-SF-T scale. Conclusion: The PROFAD-SSI-SF-T is a valid and reliable scale to evaluate fatigue, discomfort, and sicca symptoms in Turkish patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome.American Medical Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, IsraelThis work was supported by a grant from The American Medical Program at the Faculty of Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel 2021.The funders had no role in the study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript

The Relationship Between Neurogastronomy and Eating-Drinking Preferences
No full textMoleküler gastronomi, nörogastronomi ve gastrofizik, gıda davranışının farklı yönlerine vurgu yapar, ancak hepsinin çabalarında kilit bir unsur olarak yiyecek memnuniyeti vardır. Yeme davranışının büyük ölçüde yemekten duyulan memnuniyet tarafından yönlendirilip yönlendirilmediği sorusu, farklı yaklaşımların anahtarıdır. Bu, çoğunlukla beslenme topluluğunda benimsenen ve yeme davranışının tamamen homeostatik ihtiyaçlar tarafından kontrol edildiği şeklindeki fikirlerle taban tabana zıttır. Elbette bunlardan biri diğerini dışlamıyor. Bununla birlikte, niteliğin niceliğin yerini alıp alamayacağı sorusu sorulabilir. Yani, daha yüksek duyusal tatmin sağlayan gıdaları yemek, daha az duyusal tatmin sağlayan benzer gıdalardan daha düşük enerji alımına neden olabilir mi? Bu çalışmada kavramsal olarak nörogastronominin tüketiciler üzerindeki etkisine dair yapılan çalışmalar incelenmektedir. Çalışmanın amacı nörogastronominin literatürde yer alan çalışmalarını inceleyerek yiyecek içecek işletmelerinde müşteriler üzerinde nasıl olumlu etki oluşturulacağına ve yanlış bir yönetimi engellemek ve müşteri memnuniyetini daha çok nasıl sağlanır? gibi sorulara da cevap bulmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Duyuların yemek yeme deneyimlerine nasıl etki ettiği ve yenilikçi bakış açısı ile farklı deneyimleri müşterilere yaşatmak için fizyolojik ve psikolojik bakımdan da etkisini araştırarak daha iyi hizmet sunmak için yapılan veya yapılabilecek yeniliklere de ışık tutacak ve literatüre katkı sağlayacaktır.Molecular gastronomy, neurogastronomy and gastrophysics all focus on different aspects of food behavior, but all have food satisfaction as a key element in their efforts. The question of whether eating behavior is largely driven by food satisfaction is key to the different approaches. This is in stark contrast to the idea, often held in the nutrition community, that eating behavior is entirely controlled by homeostatic needs. However, this does not mean that one excludes the other. However, the question can be asked whether quality can replace quantity. This study conceptually examines studies on the impact of neurogastronomy on consumers. The aim of the study is to examine studies in the literature on neurogastronomy to reveal its impact on customers in food and beverage businesses and its importance in ensuring customer satisfaction. Studies have investigated the physiological placebo effect that patients can heal with food and beverages, and the psychological effects on both people's emotions and perceptions. When examining the relationship between neurogastronomy and food and beverage preferences, the effects on taste experience, hunger and satiety, experience and habits are discussed. The effect of senses on dining experiences and offering different experiences to guests with an innovative perspective are important for food and beverage businesses. This study will also shed light on innovations that have been made so far or that can be made in the future in order for food and beverage businesses to provide better service to their guests and will contribute to the literature
RUM ERENLERİ HACI BEKTAŞ; VELî'YE NE AD VERDİLER? -HACI BEKTAŞ; VELİ VELÂYETNÂME'SİNDE GEÇEN AKTARMAÇ KELİMESİ ÜZERİNE BİR ARAŞ;TIRMA
No full textThe most comprehensive work on Haci Bektaş Velî's family, lineage, birth, discoveries and miracles is the work in the genre of maneuvers, which appears in manuscript records under the names Velâyetnâme-i Haci Bektaş-i Velî and Menâkibnâme-i Haci Bektaş-i Velî. The text of the Velâyetnâme, which contains topics such as the lineage of Haci Bektaş Velî, the founding leader of the Bektashi order, his introduction as a seyyid belonging to the family of the prophet, his going to the lands of Rum as a murshid in the position of the pole with the commission of Ahmet Yesevî, and his showing many miracles to the masters of Rum, has undoubtedly played a very effective role in increasing the importance of Haci Bektaş Velî's charismatic personality in the eyes of the masses of people and increasing people's loyalty to the order. Written in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, although there are disputes about the author of the work, the general opinion is that it is Firdevsî-i Rûmî. Both in the Velâyetnâmes and in some other works about Haci Bektaş Velî, some names/nicknames such as "Kutbu'l-aktâb, Sultânu'l-evliyâ, Burhânu'l-asfiyâ, Envâru'l-yakîn, küsâde-i bâb-i hikmet, ser-çeşme-i nûr-i dîn, Kutb-u Rabbânî, Sultânu'l-ârifîn" are given for Haci Bektaş Velî. All of these epithets are composed of Arabic phrases. In addition to these, when Haci Bektaş Veli showed miracles to the Rum saints and tied them to him, the Rum saints gave Haci Bektaş Veli the name Aktarmaç, which is a Turkish word. This study will focus on the word Aktarmaç in some copies of the Velâyetnâme of Haci Bektaş Velî. In nine of the eighteen copies examined, the word is found in the form Ahtarmac / Ahtarmaci / Aktarmac / Ohtarmac. It has been observed that the word has been variantized according to the manuscripts. The verb form of the word, ahtar- / aktar-, was analyzed semantically and comparatively in historical language texts. It is thought that the verb in question means 'to turn the heart, to bind to oneself' in the Velâyetnâme manuscripts and that this verb is used as a mystical term in the Velâyetnâme. The Sufi meanings of the word Ahtarmac / Ahtarmaci / Aktarmac / Ohtarmac, derived from the verb ahtar- / aktar- with the suffix -mac, such as 'one who turns to the path, binds to oneself, spiritual guide' have been pointed out. In this study, the word Aktarmaç is proposed as the Turkish equivalent of the Arabic word 'murshid'. © 2024 Ankara Haci Bayram Veli University. All rights reserved

No full textThe purpose of this study is to provide a phenomenological perspective on school leaders' perceptions of their roles, responsibilities and expectations in increasing equal access to educational technology in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. This research was conducted through in-depth interviews with a phenomenological approach. The participants consisted of school leaders (school principals [n = 24] and vice principals [n = 18]) working at various educational levels. The qualitative data obtained were analysed by content analysis. Following the data collection process, themes were formed with main words or sentences as a result of descriptive processes. The data obtained through interviews were analysed in a three-stage process of sorting, coding and categorisation. According to the findings, school leaders perceive the responsibility of integrating productive AI technologies into their schools as strengthening the technological infrastructure and supporting R&D studies to ensure equal opportunities in education. In providing equal access to Productive AI educational technologies, the leaders stated that especially economic and socio-economic conditions should be improved and the importance of the correct and efficient use of these technologies. Recommendations for future research are presented
