The ımportance of morphological knowledge in the reading comprehension difficulties in a highly agglutinative language: Evidence from poor comprehenders
No full textThis study examined the importance of morphological knowledge in the reading comprehension difficulties of poor comprehenders reading in a highly agglutinative language, Turkish. Participants were 56 students recruited from the second and third grades. In the assessment process, we applied three experimental paradigms addressing the participants' morphological and morpho-syntactical knowledge at the lexical and the supralexical levels. Data were collected in individual sessions and analyzed by running a series of GLM ANOVAs and calculating the Spearman–Brown correlation coefficient. Findings suggest morphological knowledge is an important indicator of reading comprehension difficulties in Turkish, a highly agglutinative language. The acquisition of adequate reading comprehension seems to be modified by particularities of the morphological knowledge. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature
The Turkish version of the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Instrument: translation, validity and reliability
No full textPurpose To translate the original 42-item National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life Questionnaire (NEI-RQL-42) into Turkish and to investigate its validity and reliability. Methods The linguistic translation followed the international guidelines of forward and backward translation. Ninety-five consecutive subjects (37 myopes, 18 hyperopes and 40 emmetropes) who had a visual acuity of 0.8 or better in the worse eye completed the NEI-RQL-42 and the Turkish version of the 25-item National Eye Institute Visual Functioning Questionnaire (NEI-VFQ-25). Eighty patients completed the NEI-RQL-42 for a second time within 2 weeks. Psychometric evaluation of the Turkish NEI-RQL-42 involved the assessment of internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent and known-groups validity. Results Internal consistency was generally high (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83-0.95), with the exception of three subscales (glare, alpha = 0.65; suboptimal correction, alpha = 0.66; appearance, alpha = 0.62). Test-retest reliability, assessed by the intraclass correlation coefficient was good (ICC = 0.74-0.95) except for the subscale suboptimal correction (ICC = 0.61). Almost all subscales and the overall score showed significant inter-correlations. Low to moderate correlations were found between the subscales of the NEI-RQL-42 and the NEI-VFQ-25, which measure similar constructs. The NEI-RQL-42 showed good construct validity in terms of refractive error (myopia, hyperopia and emmetropia) and mode of refractive correction (spectacles, contact lens and no correction) discrimination. Conclusion The Turkish version of the NEI-RQL-42 is a reliable and valid measure of vision-related quality of life in patients with refractive error

Book review: Reading new India: post-millennial Indian fiction in English
No full text"Reading New India: Post-Millennial Indian Fiction in English." E. Dawson Varughese. Bloomsbury. February 2013. --- The book describes how Indian fiction has moved beyond notions of ‘postcolonial’ writing to reflect an increasingly confident and diverse cultures by exploring the work of such writers as Aravind Adiga (author of the Man-Booker Prize winning White Tiger), Usha K.R. and Taseer. Emily Coolidge Toker finds the the splendor and the misery of Reading New India is that it whets the appetite for the fiction it introduces but necessarily fails to satiate the appetite thus awakened
Tear Cytokine Levels in Vernal Keratoconjunctivitis: The Effect of Topical 0.05% Cyclosporine A Therapy
No full textPurpose: The aims of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of topical 0.05% cyclosporine A on clinical signs and symptoms of vernal keratoconjunctivitis (VKC) and to examine its effect on tear cytokine levels. Methods: Twenty-one patients with active VKC and 15 healthy volunteers were included. Patients were treated with topical 0.05% cyclosporine A. Symptoms and signs were scored on the day of enrollment and at the end of month 1 and month 3. Tear and serum samples were collected before and on the third month of treatment. Interleukin (IL)-2, soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R), IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-13, IL-17, eotaxin, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha), and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) in cell-free tear and serum supernatants were measured by multiplex bead analysis. Results: At the end of month 1 and month 3 with topical 0.05% cyclosporine A treatment, statistically a significant decrease was observed in sign and symptom scores of the patients (P < 0.0001). Tear IL-2, sIL-2R, IL-9, IL-17, IFN-gamma, and eotaxin levels in VKC patients were significantly higher than those in controls (P < 0.05). IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, and TNF alpha levels tended to be higher in VKC patients. There was also statistically significant reduction from before 0.05% cyclosporine A treatment to after treatment in tear levels of IL-4, IL-5, IL-17A, TNF alpha, IFN-gamma, and eotaxin (P < 0.05). IL-2 and sIL-2R levels tended to be lower than pretreatment levels. Conclusions: Topical 0.05% cyclosporine A is effective in alleviating signs and symptoms of VKC patients and shows its effect probably by decreasing the local production of some inflammatory mediators in tears

4-6 yaş tipik gelişim gösteren ve Otizm Spektrum Bozukluğuna sahip olan çocuklarda zihin kuramı, yönetici işlevler ve dil ilişkisi
No full text4-6 yaş tipik gelişim gösteren (TGG) ve Otizm spektrum bozukluğu (OSB) olan çocuklarda zihin kuramı (ZK), yönetici işlevler (Yİ) ve dil ilişkisinin ve bu değişkenlerin aracı etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanan bu araştırma korelasyonel (ilişkisel) araştırmadır. Çalışma grubunu Gaziantep ilinde bulunan, Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı'na bağlı okullarda eğitimlerine devam eden, herhangi bir gelişimsel yetersizlik tanısı almamış 4-6 yaşlarında olan 44 TGG çocuk ile Gaziantep ve Diyarbakır illerinde bulunan özel eğitim ve rehabilitasyon merkezlerine devam eden 44 OSB tanısı almış çocuklar oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma grubunun belirlenmesinde aile izin formu, Gilliam Otistik Derecelendirme Ölçeği (GOBDÖ-2) ve Raven Renkli Progresif Matrisler Testi (RPM) kullanılmıştır. Çalışma verilerinin toplanmasında dil becerilerinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla Türkçe Erken Dil Gelişimi Testi (TEDİL); Yİ değerlendirilmesinde gece-gündüz görevi, boyut değiştirerek kart eşleme görevi (BDKE), anlamsız sözcük tekrarı listesi ve ZK becerilerini değerlendirmede ise sözel ve SOYİ yer değişikliği işlemleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya başlamadan önce uygulanacak işlemlerin ve kullanılacak materyallerin çocukların yaşına uygunluğu, materyallerin dikkat dağıtıcı olup olmaması, yönergelerin uygunluğu gibi süreçte yaşanabilecek herhangi bir sorunu değerlendirmek amaçlı pilot uygulamalar yapılmıştır. Araştırmada tüm veri araçlarının uygulama güvenirliğini belirlemek amacıyla video kayıtları bağımsız gözlemci tarafından izlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçları incelendiğinde; OSB olan ve TGG katılımcılara uygulanan sözel yanlış inanç işlemi (SYİ) ile SOYİ yanlış inanç işlemleri (SOYİ) arasında farklılık bulunmamıştır. Yİ bileşenlerinin gruplar arasındaki farklılıkları incelendiğinde; bilişsel esneklik (BE) görevinde gruplar arasında fark bulunmazken ketleme ve çalışma belleği (ÇB) TGG çocukların lehine anlamlı farklılık bulunmuştur. Değişkenler arasında ilişkiye bakıldığında; SYİ ile SOYİ arasındaki ilişkinin OSB olan 4 yaş grup ile TGG olan 6 yaş çocuklarda orta düzey pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. 6 yaş OSB olan grupta SYİ ile ketleme arasında; 4 yaş TGG olan grupta SOYİ ile ketleme arasında düşük düzey pozitif yönde ilişki bulunmuştur. Ketleme ile BE arasındaki ilişkinin ise sadece TGG çocuklarda 4 yaş grubunda düşük düzey pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu; ÇB ile ketleme arasındaki ilişkinin ise OSB çocuklarda 5 yaş grubunda düşük düzey pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. TGG çocuklarda 6 yaş grubunda ÇB ile BE arasında düşük düzey pozitif yönde ilişki olduğu ; ÇB ve dil arasındaki ilişkinin ise TGG çocuklarda 5 yaş grubunda düşük düzey pozitif yönde ilişkili olduğu görülmektedir. 6 yaş OSB olan grupta ise dil-SYİ ve dil-ketleme arasında orta düzey pozitif yönde ilişki anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Araştırmada Hayes tarafından geliştirilmiş bir makro olan bootstrap yöntemiyle güven aralığı hesaplanarak değişkenlerin birbirleri üzerindeki aracı değişken etkisi incelenmiştir. 6 yaş OSB olan çocuklarda ZK'nın dil üzerindeki etkisinde ÇB'nin aracı rolü olduğu bulunmuştur. TGG 6 yaş grupta ise ÇB'nin dil üzerinde etkisinde ZK'nın aracı rolü olduğu belirlenmiştir. Dil ile ZK ilişkisinde ketlemenin aracı rolünü tespit etmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilen aracı değişken etkisi sonuçlarında ise TGG 5 yaş ve TGG 6 yaş olan grupta dilin ketleme üzerinde ZK'nın aracı rolü olduğu görülmekteyken OSB 6 yaş grubunda dilin ketleme üzerinde etkisinde ZK'nın aracı rolü görülmemektedir. Elde edilen bulgular dahilinde OSB olan çocuklarda dil, yanlış inanç işlemleri ve Yİ bileşenlerinin ilişkisi alanyazın temelinde tartışılmıştır.This study is a correlational study which aims to examine the relationship between mind theory, executive functions, and language and the mediating effect of these variables in the children with typical development (TD) and children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) between the ages of 4-6. The study group was composed of 44 children with normal development, at the age of 4-6, who continue their education in the schools in Gaziantep affiliated to the Ministry of National Education, and who were not diagnosed with any developmental disability, and 44 children with ASD who attended special education and rehabilitation centers in Gaziantep and Diyarbakır. Family consent form, Gilliam Autistic Rating Scale (GOBDÖ-2), and Colored Progressive Matrices Test (CPM) were used to determine the study group. In the collection of the study data, Turkish Early Language Development Test (TEDIL) was used to assess language skills, day-night task, card matching task by changing size, non-word repetition list were used in the assessment of executive functions, and relocation process were used to assess theory of mind skills. Also, non-verbal substitution, which does not require the language use of children, was used. Before starting the study, pilot applications were conducted to evaluate any problems that may be experienced in the process, such as the suitability of the procedures and materials to be used for the age of the children, whether the materials are distracting or not, and the suitability of the instructions. In the study, video recordings were watched by an independent observer to determine the application reliability of all data tools. In the examination of the study results, no difference was found between the verbal false belief process (VFBP) and nonverbal false belief process (NFBP) applied for the ASD and TD participants. In the examination of the differences of executive function components between the groups, while there was no difference between the groups in the flexibility task, a significant difference was found in favor of the TD children in the inhibition and working memory tasks. Considering the relationship between the variables, it was found that the relationship between VFBP and NFBP was significant in the 4-year-old children with ASD and 6-year-old children with ND. A relationship was found between VFBP and inhibition in the 6-year-old ASD group and NFBP and inhibition in the 4-year-old TD group. The relationship between inhibition and flexibility was found only in TD children at the age of 4 and the relationship between ÇB and inhibition was found in the ASD children at the age of 5. It was found that there was a relationship inTD children at the age of 6 between ÇB and flexibility ; and there was a relationship between ÇB and language in TD children at the age of 5. In the 6-year-old group with ASD, the relationship between language and VFBP and language and inhibition was found to be significant. In the study, the mediating effect of the variables on each other was examined. The mediation effect of the variables was examined by calculating the confidence interval with the bootstrap method, a macro developed by Hayes. It was found that ÇB had a mediating role in the effect of theory of mind on language in children at the age of 6 with ASD. In TD children at the age of 6, it was determined that theory of mind had a mediating role in the effect of ÇB on language. It was observed in the results of the mediation test performed to determine the mediating role of inhibition in the relationship between language and theory of mind that language had a mediating role on inhibition in the group with TD at the age of 5 and TD at the age of 6, while it didn't have a mediating role in the effect of language on inhibition in the ASD group at the age of 6. The relationship between language, false belief processes, and the components of executive function in children with ASD was discussed on the basis of the literature, within the scope of the findings obtained
Türkiye'nin özelleştirme deneyimi: 2000'lerde büyük ölçekli kamu iktisadi teşebbüslerinin özelleştirilmesi.
No full textPrivatization, which is the most important component of neo-liberal policies since the 1980s, has been legitimized by the neo-liberal doctrine through a purely economic and technical terminology. Contrary to this, this thesis maintains that privatization is a highly political process, shaped by intertwined class- and identity-based interests in different countries. To support this argument, the thesis makes a comparative analysis of the privatizations of large-scale state economic enterprises in Turkey in the 2000s, namely Petrol Ofisi, TÜPRAŞ, ERDEMİR, Türk Telekom and PETKİM, as part of the neo-liberal transformation of the Turkish state. It concludes that the privatizations of large-scale SEEs in Turkey represent typical examples to what David Harvey terms as “accumulation by dispossession” throughout which wealth has been transferred from the laboring classes to capital by the active involvement of the state though the Turkish experience has its own historical specificities. Political preferences made by governments in charge since the late 1990s in general and by the Islamist AKP government after 2002 in particular have to be understood to make sense of these specificities. ay contribute to social transformation of the region in the long term.M.S. - Master of Scienc
