In this study, blends of barley (22.9% dietary fiber, db) and green lentil (26.4% protein, db) flours were extruded at five blending ratios (barley: green lentil, 100: 0, 75: 25, 60: 40, 45: 55, 0: 100, db), two barrel temperature profiles (60-130 degrees C and 70-140 degrees C from feeder to die) and three feed moisture contents (15, 18 and 21%) to produce puffed snacks. Extrusion significantly improved in vitro protein digestibility (IVPD) of all blends by up to 10%. Decreasing feed moisture and increasing die temperature improved IVPD. Blending increased the limiting amino acid score and hence improved the in vitro protein digestibility corrected amino acid score (IVPDCAAS) of extrudates. On average, the blend 45:55 showed the highest average IVPDCAAS (68.62%) among the blends studied and lower glycemic index scores compared to the blend 60: 40. In general, extrusion did not substantially affect the soluble, insoluble or total dietary fiber contents of the blends. All extrudates from blends 60: 40 and 45:55 met the requirement to be labelled as "good source of dietary fiber" in the US.NSERC-Discovery Grant FundsThe authors would like to acknowledge NSERC-Discovery Grant Funds for F.

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
Bubble size distributions in non-yeasted wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour dough
No full textBread owes its appeal to its aerated structure which directly relies on the bubbles entrained into the dough during mixing. If the bubble size distribution (BSD) in the dough can be determined at the end of mixing, then the resulting loaf quality could be predicted before bread is fully manufactured. However, non-invasively monitoring the structure of a fragile opaque soft solid such as dough is challenging. This thesis addressed the challenge by determining dough’s BSD and its evolution using ultrasound and X-ray microtomography.
Using a resonant scattering model and the frequency dependence of the ultrasonic parameters measured in the dough, the change in the BSD in dough (made without yeast) with time as a result of disproportionation was determined. At 30 min after mixing, the median radius (R0) of the lognormal BSD was 6.5 microns. Converting the BSD to the radius dependence of bubble volume fraction (BVF(R)), R0V (the median radius of BVF(R)) was 66.4 microns and increased 18 % in the succeeding 90 min.
In order to validate the bubble sizes determined ultrasonically, X-rays from a synchrotron source were utilized to examine dough’s microstructure. Large numbers of very small bubbles were discovered and it was apparent that lognormality did not describe the BSDs. Nevertheless, lognormal characterization of the BVF(R) was appropriate. At 30 min after mixing R0V of the BVF(R) was 32.5 microns and it increased by 20 % in the succeeding 90 min, supporting the ultrasonic quantification of bubble volume changes due to disproportionation.
Changes in the mode, median and mean of the BVF(R) with time after mixing had the same trend for ultrasound and for X-ray microtomography. The time evolution of the mode of the BVF(R) obtained by ultrasound and X-ray microtomography matched very well; both increasing linearly as a function of time. Ultrasonic assessments of bubble sizes and their changes with time are very encouraging, but the ultrasonic model should use distribution functions that precisely define the empirical data, perhaps not making ‘pre-assumptions’ of lognormality for the BSD data.February 201
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

No full textReligion, 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
Promoting healthy lifestyle for sustainable development
No full textBozkurt Bekoğlu, Filiz (Dogus Author)Economic growth, environment, and health are three significant aspects of sustainable development. Nowadays, lifestyle is increasingly evaluated as one of the most important factors influencing health. As increasing health expenditure is an important problem for sustainable development, it is essential to examine the society in terms of their health-related habits and promote healthy lifestyle to support sustainable development. In this chapter, healthy lifestyle of highly educated Istanbulites is researched. The respondents are classified into three distinct clusters according to their healthy lifestyles as "young and single individuals with low healthy lifestyle tendency." "young and middle-aged individuals consuming natural food," and "elderly, married adults leading healthy lifestyles." Afterwards, analyzing the data by ANOVA and post-hoc tests, it is found that respondents in different clusters have significantly different green consumer values and health motivations. Finally, theoretical and managerial discussions are provided and some recommendations are made for academicians and practitioners
Causal Relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth
No full textIn this chapter, the authors investigate the causality relationship between the inflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth as measured by Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita in Turkey during the period 1974-2012 by using the Granger causality tests. The causality test indicates that economic growth Granger-causes FDI. This means that there is bidirectional causality from Reel GDP to FDI in Turkey. So the author results support "the growth-driven FDI hypothesis". This demonstrates that in the related time in Turkey, more direct foreign investment entered the economy together with an increase in economic growth
