A condensed Cretaceous succession from the Beyaz Aladağ Unit (Aladağlar, Eastern Taurides, South Türkiye): calpionellids and planktonic foraminiferal biozones
The Aladağlar region is located at the west end of the Eastern Taurides and is characterized by napped structures/thrust sheets. The thrust sheets named “Beyaz Aladağ” form the most prominent mountainous part of the Aladağlar to the east of the Ecemiş strike-slipe fault. A previously unidentified condensed pelagic succession was discovered in small outcrops which are difficult to access. This study describes the Cretaceous condensed pelagic succession and produces a biostratigraphic framework based on the present calpionellids and planktonic foraminiferal assemblages studied in thin sections. A complete Cretaceous succession was identified by combining different outcrops affected by regional tectonic and erosional processes. We define the Cretaceous succession as “a chaotic succession” that includes gravity slide limestone blocks and debris flow intercalations which constitute approximately half of the 50 m thick succession. In different localities, different stratigraphic intervals (Berriasian-Valanginian, Albian, and Turonian) of the Cretaceous succession unconformably overlie the Triassic-Lower Jurassic shallow marine platform carbonates. The succession is composed of pinkish and light beige colored, thin-bedded cherty pelagic limestones together with carbonate breccias and boulders mainly derived from Lower Jurassic shallow marine limestones. The Berriasian-Valanginian interval is characterized by the occurrence of abundant calpionellids, sparse radiolarians, and calcispheres. This interval is constrained by the presence of Calpionella gr. alpina/elliptica, Remaniella sp., and Crassicollaria sp. It is conformably overlain by an unfossiliferous interval which is considered Hauterivian-early Albian(?) in age since sedimentation seems to be continuous. The upper Albian-Coniacian interval is characterized by the presence of abundant and well-preserved planktonic foraminifera. The upper Albian Pseudothalmanninella ticinensis and Thalmanninella appenninica Zones and the upper Cenomanian Rotalipora cushmani Zone are distinguished. The Turonian-Coniacian interval is the most complex part of the succession because it also contains gravity-slide blocks of Albian and Cenomanian pelagic limestones as well as carbonate breccias. The Helvetoglobotruncana helvetica (lower-middle Turonian), Marginotruncana schneegansi (upper Turonian), and Dicarinella concavata Zones (upper Turonian-Coniacian) are identified in the Turonian-Coniacian interval. The condensed Cretaceous succession can be correlated in terms of tectonostratigraphic position, stratigraphy, and paleoenvironmental setting with the Boyalı Tepe unit in the Beyşehir-Hoyran nappes of the Central Taurides, with the Domuzdağ unit in the Lycian nappes and with the Urbut succession in the Bornova Flysch Zone of the Western Taurides. These successions have been interpreted as platform margin deposits (Tauride Carbonate Platform) or as off-margin drowned carbonate platforms removed from a continental source. The absence of platform margin bioclasts confirms the latter interpretation.Scientific and Technological Research Council of TurkeyDepto. de Mineralogía y PetrologíaCAI Ciencias de la Tierra y ArqueometríaFac. de Ciencias GeológicasTRUEpu
Fihrist-i Şahan of Solak-zade Mehmed Hemdemi Celebi and the Diyarbakir's Poets Lebib and Mulhem's Appendix to the Fihrist-i Şahan
This article is two parts: In the first part, we researched properties form and meaning Fihrist-i Şahan and shortly introduced the work's author Solak-zade Mehmed Hemdemi Çelebi. Fihrist-i Şahan's manuscript texts which founded libraries; manuscript's abdicates and books number given and than we established poems and historians that they have write appendix to this work. Afterwards we researched two poems from Diyarbakır Lebib and Mülhem 's Eulogies appendix to this work and informed properties form and meaning on the work. In the second part, we established called Fihrist-i Şahan of Solak-zade's Eulogy's comparative and transcript text. And we added to the Diyarbakir's poets Lebib and Mulhem's appendix to it
An investigation on the k-fibonacci matrices
Bu çalışmada genelleştirilmiş k-Fibonacci sayıları ile genelleştirilmiş k-Fibonacci matrislerinin tanımları verilmiştir. lk olarak k-Fibonacci matrisinin bazı özel matrisler ile ayrışımı verilmiş ve bu ayrışımlardan yararlanarak k-Fibonacci matrisinin tersi hesaplanmıştır. Daha sonra k-simetrik Fibonacci matrisi tanımlanmış ve k-simetrik Fibonacci matrisinin Cholesky ayrışımı verilmiştir. Ayrıca k-simetrik Fibonacci matrisinin özdeğeri için sınırlar elde edilmiştir. Simetrik Fibonacci matrisinin özdeğerler toplamı ve Fibonacci matrisinin Euclidean normu hesaplanarak k-Fibonacci matrisinin Euclidean normu üzerinde durulmuştur.In this study, definitions of the generalized k-Fibonacci numbers and generalized k-Fibonacci matrices are given. First factorization of k-Fibonacci matrix is given with some special matrices and calculated inverse of k-Fibonacci matrix by this factorizations.Afterwards, we defined k-symmetric Fibonacci matrix and Cholesky factorization of k-symmetric Fibonacci matrix is given.Then bounds are found for eigenvalues of k-symmetric Fibonacci matrix. The Euclidean norm of k-Fibonacci matrix that are calculated by the additional of symmetric Fibonacci matrix?s eigenvalues and the Euclidean norm of Fibonacci matrix is closely mentioned

Language learning strategies of language e-learners in Turkey
The purpose of this study was to determine the use of language learning strategies of e-learners and to understand whether there were any correlations between language learning strategies and academic achievement. Participants of the study were 274 e-learners, 132 males and 142 females, enrolled in an e-learning program from various majors and taking an English course through e-learning in Turkey. The Turkish version of Strategy Inventory of Language Learning (SILL) was used as the data collection instrument. The results of the study revealed that while participants used cognitive and affective strategies least, they preferred to take advantage of metacognitive and memory strategies the most. In addition, a significant difference was found for females in cognitive strategies and for males in metacognitive strategies. Finally, this study suggested that using language learning strategies had an effect on academic achievement. © The Author(s) 2015
Faces
Faces is a project run by Sude Arslan, Onur Alp Solak and Asst. Prof. Celia K. Naivar Sen. The purpose of the study is to test if we attribute social threat to feminine facial features. Previous literature demonstrates that facial features may change participant ratings of trustworthiness (Todorov et al., 2008), dominance (Flowe, 2012), and aggression (Carré et al., 2009). Geniole and colleagues (2012) demonstrated that the judgment of aggression is linked with the femininity or the masculinity of male faces, while the link with female faces was not quite relevant. However, a new study by Palmer-Hague and Geniole (2022) has shown that face-based threat assessments also occur for female faces, but it captures social threat instead of physical threat. In accordance with the findings of this research, we wanted to see if we find a similar result when we manipulate the facial masculinity and femininity of male faces. We wanted to see if we attribute social threat to males when male faces are feminized. Thus, we are investigating if we attribute social threat to feminine features.
Hypotheses
1) Feminized faces of males will be interpreted as more socially threatening compared to masculinized male faces.
2) Masculinized faces of males will be interpreted as more physically threatening compared to feminized male faces
