Idioms in Filiz Özdem’s Sırlarla Dolu Konak
No full textDeyimler bir dilin gelişmişliğinin göstergesidir. Bu sebeple dilde önemli bir yer tutar. Ana dilini öğrenmeye başlayan çocuğun soyut kavramları anlayıp kavraması oldukça zordur, fakat deyimlerle soyut durumları anlatabileceğini okul öncesi çağlarda anlamaya başlar. Bu yüzden çocuğa hitap eden eserlerde deyimlere ne ölçüde yer verildiği önemlidir. Çocuk edebiyatı alanında oldukça üretken olan Filiz Özdem’in Sırlarla Dolu Konak adlı eseri de ilk gençlik romanı olarak kabul edilen 10-12 yaş grubuna hitap eden bir eserdir. Eser ilk olarak Haziran 2012’de YKB yayınları arasında basılmış, bugüne kadar da beş baskısı yapılmıştır. 118 sayfalık bir ilk gençlik romanı olarak kaleme alınan eserde Filiz Özdem yalın bir dil kullanmıştır. Eserde deyimlerin çokluğu ve herkes tarafından bilinen, dilde çokça kullanılan deyimler olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmayla Sırlarla Dolu Konak adlı eserde geçen deyimlerin neler olduğunu, nasıl kullanıldığını, dil özelliklerini yapıları bakımından vermeye ve varsa kalıp dışındaki kullanımlarını tespite çalıştık. 19 Temmuz 1965 İstanbul doğumlu Filiz Özdem İtalyan Lisesinden mezun olduktan sonra, İstanbul Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Felsefe Bölümünü bitirdi, aynı bölümde yüksek lisans programına devam etti. Saydam ve Seyirci adıyla şiirleri yayımlanan Filiz Özdem Urfa, Balıkesir, Mersin, Mardin, Kars illeri için şehir monografileri hazırladı. Pasolini'nin Fildişi Kulenin Dışından ve Luigi Malerba'nın İçimdeki Şahmaran adlı kitaplarını İtalyancadan Türkçeye çevirdi. Ressamlarla ilgili yirmiye yakın kataloğun metinlerini yazan Özdem'in birçok gazetede yayımlanmış yazıları, çeşitli dergilerde çıkmış şiirleri, yorumlayıcı sanat metinleri ve çevirileri var. Korku Benim Sahibim (2010), Düş Hırkası (2009), Yalan Sureleri (2010), Rüya Bekleyen Adam (2013), Aşk Meçhule Yürür (2015) gibi romanları da bulunan Özdem, daha ziyade 3-12 yaş grubuna hitap eden hikâyeler yazmıştır.Idioms indicate a sense of richness in a language. Thus idioms have a significant place in a language. Understanding and comprehending abstract concepts is rather difficult for a child who is just learning his/her native language. In this context idioms help pre-school children in their understanding of abstract situations. Therefore the amount of idioms that are present in children’s books is crucial. This paper explores the idioms in terms of both quality and quantity in Filiz Özdem’s novel Sırlarla Dolu Konak. Filiz Özdem has an important place in children and teenage literature. She has written productively for a wide range of age groups. Filiz Özdem’s novel entitled Sırlarla Dolu Konak is regarded as early youth novel mainly addressing the age group between 10-12. This novel was first published by YKY in June 2012. So far the book has been published for five times indicating its popularity among young readers. The book, which consists of 118 pages, employs a simple and clear language. Thus, the frequency and usage of idioms in the novel are many. It is observed that the idioms used in the novel are commonly used and known by most of the readers. This paper attempts to determine, list and define the idioms in the novel, and to identify how the author has used them in terms of syntax, style and lexical features
Evaluation of Education Areas Designed With Different Design Approaches in Meaning of Volume Acoustics Doğa College Cukurambar and Imkb Alparslan Secondary School
No full textEğitim, toplumların gelişimindeki en önemli araçlardan biridir. Etkili bir eğitim, kaliteli iletişim ile mümkündür. İletişime etki eden faktörler arasında, bulunulan mekânın etkisi büyüktür. Akustik gelişimi tamamlanmış mekânlardaki işitsel konfor şüphesiz ki daha iyi iletişime sebep olacaktır. Ülkemiz okullarında, ön tasarım aşamasında akustik koşulların ihmal edilmesi, sınıflarda sağlıklı iletişim ortamının sağlanamamasına sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışma eğitim yapılarının en önemli mekânı olan sınıflarda akustik konfor koşullarının önemi ile birlikte, kullanılan gereçlerin etkisini ortaya koymak amacı ile hazırlanmıştır. Araştırma kapsamı içinde ölçüm yapılmak üzere Ankara ili Çankaya ilçesinde bulunan iki okul seçilmiştir. Araştırılmak üzere seçilen okullardan ilki özel okul, ikincisi ise M.E.B. bünyesindeki tip proje devlet okullarından biridir. Bu araştırmada seçilen okullara ait sınıflar, hacim akustiğine uygunlukları açısından, kullanılan iç yüzey gereçleri doğrultusunda araştırılmıştır. Yapılan çalışmada seçilen iki okuldaki hacim olarak benzer sınıflar, akustik ölçüm cihazları ile ölçülmüştür. Belirlenen sınıflarda konuşmanın anlaşılabilirliğinde önem taşıyan akustik parametreler olan çınlama süresi (RT), erken düşüş süresi (EDT), konuşmanın açıklığı ve netliği (C50), konuşmanın belirginliği (D50), konuşma iletim indeksi (STI) ve hızlı konuşma iletim indeksi (RASTI) ölçümleri yapılmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Değerlendirme sonucunda, kullanılan mobilya ve yüzey malzemelerinin, sınıflardaki akustik konfor koşullarına etkileri incelenmiş, yeni tasarlanacak ya da iyileştirme çalışması yapılacak sınıflarda konuşmanın anlaşılabilirliğinin optimum düzeylere çıkarılabilmesi için önerilerde bulunulmuştur.Education is one of the most important tools for the development of societies. Efficient education can be possible with a qualified communication. Current spaces are great factor that effects communications. No doubt that auditory comfort in spaces with completed acoustic development provide better communications. Neglecting the acoustical conditions in preliminary phase of design lead to an unhealthy communication in schools in our country. This study is prepared to propound the effects of the acoustic comfort conditions in classrooms which are the educational structure's most important spaces and the material used. Within the scope of this study two schools in Ankara situated in Çankaya area have been chosen to make measurements. First school chosen for the case study is a private school second is a public school depending on national education ministry especially for such regular type of projects. Selected schools have been researched by the classes' volume in terms of compliance with acoustic and in accordance with the inner surface of equipment. Similar volume classes chosen in both schools and they are measured with acoustic measuring devices. Such acoustic parameters like reverberation time (RT), early decay time (EDT), clarity (C50), distinctness (D50), speech transmission index (STI) and rapid speech transmission index (RASTI) which are significant for the intelligibility of speech has been taken into consideration for evaluation of the measurements taken in the determined classes. In accordance with the results, the impacts of furniture and surface materials on the acoustic comfort conditions are recovered in renewed or newly designed classrooms for revealing the most ideal level of speech intelligibility in classes

Effects of Probiotic Consumption on Absence Seizures
No full textObjectives: Probiotics are microorganisms of intestinal microflora that are beneficial for human health. Childhood absence epilepsy has 2 validated rat models: Genetic Absence Epilepsy Rats from Strasbourg (GAERS) and Wistar Albino Glaxo from Rijswijk (WAG/Rij). To date, there have been no clinical or experimental studies of the effects of probiotics on absence epilepsy. The present study was an investigation of the effects of probiotics on absence seizures in the GAERS rat model. Methods: GAERS were used to examine the effects of probiotics. Nine male GAERS were assigned to 1 of 2 groups (probiotic or control). The animals had free access to food and water. Commercially available probiotic product was provided in drinking water to probiotic group for 1 month. Surface electrodes were then implanted for electroencephalogram (EEG) recordings. Two aspects of EEG recordings were compared: cumulative duration and cumulative number of absence seizures. Results: Analysis of spike-and-wave discharges between the 2 groups showed no significant difference in either cumulative duration or number (p>0.05). Additionally, it was observed that probiotic group consumed more water than control group (p<0.05). Conclusion: Results indicated that probiotic consumption had no effect on duration or number of spike-and-wave discharges of GAERS after 1-month feeding period. This is the first investigation in the literature addressing interactions between probiotics and absence epilepsy, and further research is needed
Sanal Kaytarma: (Örgütsel Sosyalizasyon, Örgüt İklimi, Çalışan Motivasyonu)
No full textWritten by Dr. Filiz Tokur Göncü, Sanal Kaytarma (Cyberloafing) offers a compelling analysis of internet usage in the modern workplace, challenging the traditional view of non-work-related browsing as merely "time theft." This book explores the intricate relationships between organizational socialization, organizational climate, and employee motivation through extensive empirical research conducted on public sector employees. By framing cyberloafing as a potential mechanism for mental recovery and stress relief rather than solely counterproductive behavior, the author demonstrates how these digital breaks can positively influence employee motivation when understood and managed correctly. Essential for HR professionals, managers, and organizational behavior scholars, this work provides a fresh perspective on managing human capital in an increasingly digitalized and connected work environment.Dr. Filiz Tokur Göncü’nün kaleme aldığı Sanal Kaytarma, dijitalleşen iş dünyasında çalışanların mesai saatleri içindeki internet kullanım alışkanlıklarını, sadece bir verimlilik kaybı olarak değil, aynı zamanda psikolojik bir ihtiyaç ve motivasyon aracı olarak mercek altına alıyor. Kitap, örgütsel sosyalizasyon, örgüt iklimi ve çalışan motivasyonu gibi kritik kavramların birbirleriyle olan karmaşık ilişkisini, İstanbul'daki kamu çalışanları üzerinde yapılan ampirik bir araştırmayla derinlemesine inceliyor. Çalışanların yoğun iş temposunda zihinsel bir mola vererek yeniden enerji toplamalarını sağlayan "sanal kaytarma" davranışının, doğru yönetildiğinde örgütsel verimliliğe ve motivasyona nasıl pozitif katkı sağlayabileceğini ortaya koyan bu eser; modern yönetim stratejileri geliştirmek isteyen yöneticiler, insan kaynakları profesyonelleri ve akademisyenler için ufuk açıcı bir rehber niteliğindedir
Religion, Nationalism and Foreign Policy: Discursive Construction of New Turkey's Identity
No full textThis book provides a critical discussion on how different discourses of nationalism in the Turkish media construct contested concepts of New Turkey's identity, which has great importance for mapping modern Turkey's place in the world of nations. Drawing on a Discourse-Historical Approach, the author analyses different discourses on Turkish national identity and foreign policy in Turkish media in the second term of the AKP government from 2007 to 2011, which was the period of consolidation of Muslim conservative nationalism in both internal and external relations. By using three case studies, including the Presidential elections in 2007, the launch of Kurdish Initiative in 2009, and the debate of axis shift in Western orientation of Turkish Foreign Policy in 2010, the book argues that not only has AKP's Muslim nationalism reconstructed new Turkish foreign policy, but also new Turkish foreign policy discourse has reconstructed Turkish nation's Muslim identity and reinforced Muslim nationalism. © Filiz Coban Oran, 2022
Prelimbic Cortex Deep Brain Stimulation Reduces Binge Size in a Chronic Binge Eating Rat Model
No full textBackground: Binge eating (BE) involves the consumption of a large amount of food in a short period of time and a loss of control during the binge episode. It is a key feature of the major subtypes of eating disorders like bulimia nervosa, BE disorder, anorexia nervosa binge/purge type. Alterations in the mesocorticolimbic pathway play a crucial role in its pathophysiology. Objectives: We hypothesized that BE rats receiving deep brain stimulation (DBS) in the prelimbic cortex, a functional analog of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in humans, would have a reduced binge size compared with those receiving sham stimulation. Methods: Eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with a DBS electrode in the left prelimbic cortex. A protocol which included limited access to a sweet-fat diet was used to achieve a chronic BE state in the rats. After reaching a stable binge size, each rat had undergone sham, low-frequency stimulation (60 Hz), and high-frequency (130 Hz) stimulation for 3 sessions each, and 2 consecutive treatments were separated by at least 2 empty sessions to allow a washout of the effects. A one-way ANOVA was used for the data analysis. Results: Low-frequency (60 Hz) stimulation of the prelimbic cortex significantly reduced the binge size compared to the sham stimulation (p < 0.0001). High-frequency DBS (130 Hz) had no significant influence on this behavior when compared to sham stimulation (p = 0.9). Conclusions: This study suggests that low-frequency prelimbic cortex stimulation in BE would be useful for correcting prefrontal hypofunction which is strongly associated with BE and addiction pathogenesis.

The Problem of Violence Against Women in Terms of Media Reflections and Public Relations
No full textViolence and violence against women can often arise in different forms, in terms of their structural characteristics, such as physical violence, psychological violence, sexual violence, deprivation and neglect and it might have biological, sociological and economic reasons. In order to prevent violence, the circumstances that lead to violence must be removed. We can mention legal, social, cultural and economic reasons which make it difficult to prevent violence. There is a need for a common literature and approach to prevent violence, as well as a common sense which handles all components together. In order to prevent violence against women and to fight against violence, it is necessary to determine the main problems and to take measures within the framework of institutional, social and individual dimensions by switching to broad-based common sense. The measures to be taken include the establishment of legal and economic regulations and the establishment of qualified public health policies. In order to explain all such arrangements, to overcome economic, cultural and / or social obstacles and to create an individual and social consciousness about legal regulations, a public relations strategy is needed which does not overshadow the current situation, reveals the problem and brings a solution to it. This study aims to emphasize the role of public relations in preventing violence and promoting gender equality. Within the scope of the research, which is conducted in order to understand the violence on women in terms of media reflections, Hurriyet Newspaper was selected as the most circulated newspaper in Turkey and by considering the diversity of reader profile that the newspaper has in 2017. Accordingly, an online archive scanning was performed between 1 January 2017 and 30 June 2017, by using the keywords woman and violence. The research that carried out in cooperation with the Ministry of Family and Social Policy and Hacettepe University and the data obtained from the newspaper scanning are largely compatible with the types and nature of violence results. Prevention and improvement of protective measures of violence against women seen as an important problem for Turkey, that should be addressed with an integrated approach. The study emphasized that combating violence is an important role of public relations. In this context in the light of research results of Hacettepe University, we can advise on combating violence against women, it is expected to be effective if planned and managed as a part of institutional, individual, and social categories
