Democracy Through Learner-Centered Education: a Turkish Perspective
No full textAimed at documenting the problems and constraints confronting learner-centered instruction in Turkey, this article first explains the link between democracy and education and the role of learner-centered instruction in realizing democratic ends. By drawing on John Dewey's ideas and Turkish scholars' perspectives on Turkish education, the article then presents the problems and constraints that pose threats to the implementation of learner-centered instruction in Turkey. The author also explains the problems within the Turkish educational system and teacher education programmes, and the challenges that in-service teachers and students may experience with learner-centered instruction. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008

Hanım (1862-1936) Osmanlı Devleti’nin çöküşüyle modern Türkiye’nin
doğuşuna tanıklık etmiş kadın yazarlarımızdandır. Son dönem Osmanlı
bürokrasisi içinde yetişen önemli devlet adamlarımızdan Ahmet Cevdet
Paşa’nın kızıdır. Fatma Aliye Hanım, bir paşa kızı olmanın bütün imkânlarından
yararlanmıştır. Bayanlar için eğitim imkânlarının oldukça yetersiz
olduğu bir dönemde özel dersler almış, on-on bir yaşlarında Fransızcanın
yanı sıra piyano çalmayı öğrenmiştir. Yetişmesinde en önemli rolü
oynayan öğretmeni ise, bir dönem Maarif Nazırlığı da yapmış olan babası
Cevdet Paşa’dır. Ahmet Cevdet Paşa, kızının eğitimine büyük önem
verir ve onun iyi bir eğitim alarak yetişmesi için her imkânı seferber eder.
İlme ve öğrenmeye meraklı olan Fatma Aliye Hanım, mümkün olduğunca
kendini yetiştirmeye çalışır. Onun ikinci önemli öğretmeni ise Ahmet
Mithat Efendi’dir. Özellikle yazmaya teşvik etmesi ve Tercüman-ı Hakikat’te
onun kalem tecrübelerine yer ayırması önemlidir. O, bir bakıma
Ahmet Cevdet Paşanın olduğu kadar Hace-i Evvel Ahmet Mithat Efendi’nin

Linkages between American and European Publicly Traded Airline Companies - Evidence Resulting from the Diebold-Yilmaz Method
No full textIn this paper, the author implemented the Diebold and Yilmaz approach to analyse the connectedness between the major American and European publicly traded airline companies. The author calculated the return and volatility spillover index for the whole sample using a dynamic rolling sample analysis. The results show that all airlines are significantly linked but there is a clear division into two markets. It was found that return spillovers are more intensive than volatility spillovers. Moreover, the average connectedness level is higher in the U.S. market for returns as well as for volatility. An increase of connectedness occurred due to the certain events: issues linked with the condition of the global economy and long-term crude oil price changes.W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badania powiązań w świetle metody Diebolda i Yilmaza pomiędzy notowaniami najważniejszych linii lotniczych w Stanach Zjednoczonych i w Europie. Wyznaczono indeks powiązań dla dziennych zwrotów i zmienności dla całej próby oraz w ujęciu dynamicznym. Wyniki badania wskazują, że notowania wszystkich analizowanych linii lotniczych są ze sobą powiązane, ale istnieje wyraźny podział na dwa rynki. Powiązania między rynkiem europejskim a amerykańskim są znacznie słabsze niż efekty zarażania pomiędzy liniami lotniczymi z jednego rynku. Efekty zarażania są silniejsze dla zwrotów niż dla zmienności. Ponadto średni poziom indeksu powiązań jest wyższy w Stanach Zjednoczonych niż w Europie. Na zmiany poziomu powiązań w czasie miały wpływ wydarzenia z otoczenia makroekonomicznego i rynku kapitałowego oraz długotrwała zmiana poziomu ceny ropy naftowej
Conservation of Selected Churches in the Most Region and Karviná Region and their Significance for Geotourism
No full textAbstractCoal mining in the Czech Republic has left significant marks on the geomorphology of the regions. Simultaneously, it has also affected the lives of people who have lived there for centuries. This article selects two areas, where the consequences of mining are pronounced. It compares the open cast mining in the brown coal deposit in Most and the underground mining of hard coal in the Karviná Region. Only few monuments have survived out of the original buildings. Certain landmarks are the churches that appear in both of the localities. In Most the original church was relocated by almost one kilometre to another place. The Karviná Region has several churches that have tilted due to mining subsidence. The buildings are the witnesses of the original settlements and suitable destinations for tourists. Overall, the areas have high potentials for the development of non-traditional forms of tourism, especially geo-montane tourism
A Study on the Performance of GPR for Detection of Different Types of Buried Objects
No full textAbstractThe objective of this research is to evaluate the applicability of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) method to detect burried objects in the shallow depths using 250 MHz and 800 MHz center frequency antennas. For this purpose, different objects were burried in several places of a certain test site. GPR data were collected along six paralel profiles using 250 MHz and 800 MHz antennas which are compatible with RAMAC CU II system. The reflections profile data were processed using the computer program ReflexW. After the processing of data, the reflected /scattered reflections on the processed radargrams were examined and the radargrams were interpreted to determine the depths and positions of the objects from the surface. Also, the data obtained from 250 and 800 MHz antennas were compared and the differences between them in terms of resolution were discussed
Churches Influenced by Underground Mining in the Karvina Region Used for the Purposes of Geotourism
No full textAbstractThe article aims to point out the mutual relations between underground mining and its manifestations on the ground surface. For the purpose, churches in the Karviná Region were selected. The buildings have been affected by over 200-year long extraction of hard coal. Some of the buildings have been influenced from the start of the mining activities, others later on. Thanks to the combined effects of the historical significance of the monuments and their diversion from the vertical axis, the buildings have become even more interesting. Moreover, they clearly document how the anthropogenic mining activities influence the built-up area. Some of the buildings have been preserved to date, some had to be demolished, unfortunately. Nowadays, the monuments are becoming significant sites of geotourism interest
Monuments of the Czech Republic on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List and their Significance for Geotourism
No full textAbstractThe article presents the monuments from the Czech Republic enlisted on the UNESCO World Heritage Site List. Each country tries to choose representative sites and monuments that document the structural and architectural development in a given region. Therefore, the Czech Republic carried out an analysis of their monuments. As the Czech Republic has a very rich and expressive history in the very centre of Europe, its history has significantly affected its civil engineering and architecture. It is also a country with a varied geological structure and geomorphology. Today's untraditional forms of tourism, among which we also find geotourism, may thus build on such knowledge and expand the current offer of destinations. Learning about the geological structure is also important in terms of future renovation and reconstruction work. The current list of UNESCO cultural sites will be expanded by further unique sites and buildings. For this reason, it is important to combine knowledge from more specialised disciplines, such as geology and mining science
A comparison of fatty acid, cholesterol and vitamin composition in sea bass [Dicentrarchus labrax (Linnaeus, 1758)] and sea bream [Sparus aurata (Linnaeus, 1758)] from three cage farm areas: Antalya and Mugla (Turkey) and Iskele (Northern Cyprus)

The results showed that the muscles of D. labrax and S. aurata farmed fish were rich in n-3 fatty acids, but with important differences. For example, the muscles of sea bass farmed in Iskele were rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). Palmitic acid (C16:0) was the primary saturated fatty acid, and oleic acid (C18:1 n-9) the primary mono-unsaturated fatty acid in the muscle and liver samples of the cage-farmed sea bass and sea bream. There were no significant differences in the cholesterol content in the muscles of sea bream farmed in Iskele, Antalya or Mugla. In conclusion, the n-3/n-6 ratio in the muscle of farmed S. aurata and D. labrax is within the recommended limits for a healthy human diet, being very suitable for human nutrition.European Univ Lefke, Cyprus Marine Sci Fdn, World Sturgeon Conservat Soc, Prime Minist, Minist Foreign Affairs, Minst Agr, Turkish Republ No Cyprus, Nat Resources & Foo
