Parenting and Education: Navigating Class, Religiosity and Secularity in Istanbul
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Kolluoglu, Biray; Dincer, Evren M.
This article studies the educational choices that secular and religious professional and managerial middle-class parents in Istanbul make for their children. It explores the ways in which class intersects with religion in Turkey where, politics, culture, social, and even economic life are marked by a deep divide among the religious and the secular. Focusing on a particular segment of the middle classes, that with higher economic and social capital, the article brings to fore the ways in which religiosity and secularity structure the processes of transforming privileges into acquired rights in the form of educational qualifications and extracurricular skills. It explores the current sociological conjuncture that bereaves both groups, albeit in different ways, of their ability to fully mobilize their accumulated economic, social, and cultural capitals in reproducing their class position in their children. The article argues that exploring the parenting of education along the secular and the religious divide can unravel the foundational elements of the ongoing competition and conflict in Turkey and enables a deeper understanding of the current divide and the potential for a future reconciliation. The study relies on a qualitative study that entails interviews with thirty families and two focus groups.
Phase-Synchronized Fluidic Oscillator Pair
(AMER INST AERONAUTICS ASTRONAUTICS, 1801 ALEXANDER BELL DRIVE, STE 500, RESTON, VA 22091-4344 USA, 2019) Tomac, Mehmet N; Gregory, James W.
The relative phase of oscillating jets from a pair of fluidic oscillators was synchronized in this work. The means for this synchronization was mutual interaction through a shared feedback channel between the two oscillators. Flow visualization and hot-wire measurements indicated a strong correlation and phase synchronization between the two oscillators. A numerical analysis offered better understanding of the internal flow physics that led to the synchronization phenomenon. A portion of the output jet from one fluidic oscillator was redirected and crossed over into the adjacent oscillator, leading to momentum transfer between the two oscillators. A portion of this cross-oscillator flow was directed into the shared feedback channel and constituted the main feedback flow. In this process, one of the shared feedback channel outlets was blocked by a vortex, allowing only one oscillator to receive feedback flow. The primary mechanism for in-phase synchronization was the cross-oscillator flow, which was divided into phase-modulated momentum injection to the primary jet and modulated flow input to the shared channel feedback channel.

Emotion Detection Using Multivariate Synchrosqueezing Transform via 2D Circumplex Model
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Ozel, Pinar; Akan, Aydin; Yilmaz, Bulent; Özel, Pınar; Akan, Aydin I.; Yilmaz, Bulent
Emotion detection by utilizing signal processing methods is a challenging area. An open issue in emotional modeling is to obtain an optimum feature set to use for the classification process. This study proposes an approach for emotional state classification by the investigation of EEG signals via multivariate synchrosqueezing transform (MSST). MSST is a post-processing technique to compose a localized time-frequency representation yielding multivariate syncyrosqueezing coefficients. After obtaining these coefficients from EEG signals for 18 subjects from DEAP dataset, coefficients and self-assessment-mannequins (SAM) labels of those subjects are used for emotional state classification by using support vector machines (SVM) nearest neighbor, decision tree, and ensemble methods. The accuracy rate is 70.6% for high valence high arousal (HVHA), 75.4% for low valence high arousal (LVHA), 77.8% for high valence low arousal (HVLA), and 77.2% for low valence low arousal (LVLA) cases using SVM. © 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

A Gendered Analysis of Palestinian Refugee Women's Experiences of Migration From Syria to Türkiye
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2024) Kurtoglu, Ayca; Llyod, Armagan Teke; Salimoglu, Zafer
After the outbreak of the conflict in 2011, millions of people fled Syria across its borders. This gave way to a new category of people, "Syrian refugees." While this categorical understanding constitutes the basis for legal entitlements, it homogenizes all fleeing Syria and results in concealing the differential experiences and vulnerabilities of particular groups. The paper challenges this blanket categorization by focusing on the migration experiences of Palestinian women from Syria to Turkiye around the concepts of biological and social reproduction which represent the largely neglected aspects concerning the process of forced migration. By drawing on six women's experiences, the paper concludes that the homogeneity of the Syrian migrants is an illusion; women's migrations are shaped through their gendered and ethnic history; and women face gender-specific challenges and opportunities in both home and host countries. We particularly argue that policies on border control and migrant's integration fail to consider the subjective conditions and needs of particular groups within the Syrian migrants.
In-silico Identification of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma Molecular Mechanisms
(IEEE, 345 E 47TH ST, NEW YORK, NY 10017 USA, 2019) Ersoz, Nur Sebnem; Guzel, Yasin; Bakir-Gungor, Burcu
Representing approximately 70% to 80% of thyroid cancers, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type of thyroid cancers. PTC is seen in all age groups, but it is seen more frequently in women than in men. Detection of biomarker proteins of papillary thyroid cancinoma plays an important role in the diagnosis of the disease. In this study, we aim to find target genes and pathways that are associated with papillar thyroid carcinoma, by integrating different bioinformatics methods. For this purpose, usingin-silico methodologies, candidate genes and pathways that could explain disease development mechanisms are identified. Throughout this study, firstly we identified differentially expressed genes as the amount of their protein product differ between patient and healthy groups. Secondly, by using active subnetworks search algorithms, topologic analyses and functional enrichment tests, candidate proteins,which could be thought as PTC biomarkers, and affected pathways are identified.
A rational utilization of reinforcement material for flexural design of 3D-printed composite beams
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD, 1 OLIVERS YARD, 55 CITY ROAD, LONDON EC1Y 1SP, ENGLAND, 2019) Ciftci, Cihan; Sas, Hatice S.
Recent developments in composite industry address the adaptation of 3D printing technology to overcome the design and manufacturing challenges of the traditional composite processing techniques. This adaptation can be performed with the development of design methodologies corresponding to the type of structural load-carrying members in a structure. Considering the frequently use of beams in structures, the development of the design methodology of beams is essential for the adaptation of the additive manufacturing. Therefore, in this paper, the flexural loading concept is analytically formulated to derive moment capacity for the flexural behavior of 3D-printed composite beams. Then, the formulation is adapted to develop a design methodology of 3D-printed laminates under flexural loading. Additionally, the analytical solutions developed for the design methodology presented in this paper were verified with a good agreement with experimental studies.

(Agro Arge Danismanlik San ve Tic As, 2016) Delibalta, M. S.; Uzal, N.; Lermi, A.
The processes during the search, production and enrichment of mining operations naturally affects the air, soil, water resources in turn the natural environment and living organisms. In general, the environmental impact of coal opencast mining operations is much more significant than that of underground mining and mineral processing. After stripping of the material filling the holes in coal opencast production, with the rise of surface water and ground water level is composed of large or small ponds. Low pH (acidic characteristic) and high metal concentrations (Al, Ca, Mn, Fe, Cu, Zn, Pb) of these ponds, containing sulfide minerals and the waste materials, for the sustainability of natural resources is one of the biggest environmental problems. This paper is to investigate geochemical characteristics of the pond waters in the Ilgm Coal deposit area. Geochemical analyses were made by ICP-MS in waters taken from ponds in each three-month periods. Highest heavy metal contents 1839 ppb Mn and 9777 ppb Fe, the average pH values 6.49-7.81, turbidity (NTU) 0.1263.6, sulphate content 0.05-2.67 mg SO4/L, chemical oxygen demand 4-136 mg O-2/L, and electrical conductivity 285 mu S/cm4.68 mS/cm have been measured during the monitoring study of five different lignite opencast mine post-production lakes of the TKI GLI Ilgm. Analyses were performed in three-month periods. The results were evaluated within the framework of relevant laws and regulations.

Pressure-Induced Amorphization of MOF-5: A First Principles Study
(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, 2018) Erkartal, Mustafa; Durandurdu, Murat; Erkartal, Mustafa; Durandurdu, Murat
Amorphous metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and the amorphization of crystalline MOFs under mechanical stimuli are attracting considerable interest in last few years. However, we still have limited knowledge on their atomic arrangement and the physical origin of crystalline-to-amorphous phase transitions under mechanical stimuli. In this study, ab initio simulations within a generalized gradient approximation are carried out to investigate the high-pressure behavior of MOF-5. Similar to the previous experimental findings, a pressure-induced amorphization is observed at 2 GPa through the simulations. The phase transformation is an irreversible first order transition and accompanied by around 68% volume collapse. Remarkably, the transition arises from local distortions and, contrary to previous suggestions, does not involve any bond breaking and formation. Additionally, a drastic band gap closure is perceived for the amorphous state. This study has gone some way towards enhancing our understanding of pressure-induced amorphization in MOFs.
Alçaltıcı/Yükseltici Dc/Dc/Ac Eviricilerle Yüksek Performanslı Anahtarlamalı Relüktans Motoru Sürücü Sistemi Tasarımı Ve Gerçeklemesi
(2021) Tekgün, Burak; Boynuegri, Ali Rifat; Yaşa , Yusuf; Alan, Irfan
Anahtarlamalı relüktans motorları (ARM) 1800?lü yılların ortalarında keşfedilmesine rağmen, 1960?lı yıllarda yarı iletken anahtarların icat edilmesine kadar potansiyeli anlaşılamamış makinalardır. Modern yarı iletken teknolojisinin icadı ve gelişmesi ile birlikte ARM?lerin kullanımı yaygınlaşmıştır. ARM?ler basit yapıları, düşük üretim maliyetleri ve sağlamlıklarından dolayı birçok uygulamada tercih edilmişlerdir. Geleneksel olarak ARM, her bir faz için iki yarı iletken anahtar ve iki diyot kullanılarak oluşturulan sürücülerle sabit giriş gerilimi işlenerek, sırasıyla fazlar enerjilendirilmektedir. Faz sargılarındaki akımın enerjilendirilme esnasında yükselme süresi ve enerji kesildiği durumdaki akımın azalma süresi DC bara voltajına bağlıdır. Bu durum uygulamalarda enerjilendirme süresinin akımın sıfıra gitme süresi de göz önüne alınıp kısa tutulmasına, dolayısıyla komütasyon esnasında düşük tork üretimine, yüksek tork salınımına ve ortalama tork üretiminde azalmaya sebep olmaktadır. Bu projede, geleneksel sürücü topolojisinden farklı olarak ARM, bir DC/DC dönüştürücü ve tek fazlı bir tam-köprü evirici yardımı ile ideale yakın bir enerjilendirme akımı oluşturularak ARM daha yüksek performans ile kontrol edilmesi sağlanmıştır. Projede önerilen ARM sürücüsü her bir fazı bir DC/DC dönüştürücü ve bir tam-köprü evirici içeren modüler yapılı sürücülerden oluşmaktadır. Önerilen sürücü yapısını geleneksel ARM topolojilerinden ayıran özelliği DC/DC dönüştürücü devresidir. Burada makinanın faz sargılarının ihtiyaç duyduğu akım dalga şekli DC/DC dönüştürücü ile sağlanmaktadır. Tork üretiminin pozitif olabilmesi için stator ve rotor kutuplarının tam hizalandığı andan kısa bir süre önce negatif gerilim uygulanarak, faz akımının hızlı bir şekilde kesilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu durumda ise gerilim önerilen devredeki tam-köprü devresi yardımıyla tersine çevrilerek ve DC/DC dönüştürücünün çıkış gerilimi en yüksek seviyesine getirilmek suretiyle akımın hızlı şekilde sıfıra inmesi sağlanmıştır ve böylelikle makinanın performansı artmıştır. sadece DC/DC çevirici katında yüksek frekanslı anahtarlama olduğundan anahtarlama kayıplarının azalarak ve geleneksel topolojiye göre daha yüksek verim sağlanmıştır. Önerilen sürücü sisteminin AC motorların sürücüleri olarak yenilenebilir enerji sistemlerinde ara yüz elemanı olarak uygulanabilir olması, arıza giderme zamanında önemli ölçüde azalmaya neden olarak üretimdeki sürdürülebilirliğin artırılmasına destek olacağı öngörülmektedir.

Structure Health Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks on Structural Elements (vol 82, pg 68, 2019)
(ELSEVIER, RADARWEG 29, 1043 NX AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS, 2020) Ayyildiz, Cem; Erdem, H. Emre; Dirikgil, Tamer; Dugenci, Oguz; Kocak, Taskin; Altun, Fatih; Gungor, V. Cagri
This paper presents a system that monitors the health of structural elements in Reinforced Concrete (RC), concrete elements and/or masonry buildings and warn the authorities in case of physical damage formation. Such rapid and reliable detection of impairments enables the development of better risk management strategies to prevent casualties in case of earthquake and floods. Piezoelectric (PZT) sensors with lead zirconate titanate material are the preferred sensor type for fracture detection. The developed sensor mote hardware triggers the PZT sensors and collects the responses they gather from the structural elements. It also sends the collected data to a data center for further processing and analysis in an energy-efficient manner utilizing low-power wireless communication technologies. The access and the analysis of the collected data can be remotely performed via a web interface. Performance results show that the fractures serious enough to cause structural problems can be successfully detected with the developed system.
Karabuğday Nişastasından Yenilebilir Film Üretimi ve Nişastanın Yağ Asitleri ile Modifikasyonunun Film Mekanik Özellikleri Üzerine Etkisi
(TÜBİTAK, 2022) Kahraman, Kevser; Aydemir, Levent Yurdaer; Koca, Esra; Oskaybaş Emlek, Betül
Bu proje, karabuğdaydan yüksek saflıkta ve verimde nişasta üretilmesini, üretilen nişastanın çeşitli yağ asitleri (10C, 14C, 18C) kullanılarak elde edilen amiloz-lipit kompleksinden film üretimini amaçlamaktadır. Amiloz-lipit kompleksi üretiminde herbir yağ asidi için en etkili iki reaksiyon parametresi (sıcaklık, süre, pH, yağ asidi/nişasta oranı) belirlenmiştir. Herbir yağ asidi için en etkili iki parametre kullanılarak merkezi kompozit tasarım ile deneme tasarımları oluşturulmuş, komplekslerin kompleks indeks (KI), görünür amiloz, sindirilebilirlik, su bağlama-çözünürlük, çirişlenme, berraklık ve sineresis derecesi gibi özellikleri açısından karakterize edilmiştir. Kompleks oluşumunun nişastanın yapısına etkisi XRD ve FT-IR ile incelenmiştir. Amiloz-lipit kompleks oluşumu ile nişastanın enzime dirençli nişasta miktarı artmış, şişme gücü azalmıştır. En yüksek KI değerine sahip amiloz-kompleksi içeren nişastalar kullanılarak gliserol varlığında filmler üretilmiştir. Gliserol konsantrasyonu, çözelti sıcaklığı ve pH?nın film mekanik özelliklerine etkisinin araştırılması amacıyla, bu parametreler kullanılarak yanıt yüzey yöntemi ile deneme tasarımları oluşturulmuş, film üretimi gerçekleştirilmiş ve optimum film karakteristiklerine sahip film üretiminin sağlandığı parametreler belirlenmiştir. Optimum koşullarda amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanılarak üretilen filmlerin gerilme dirençleri miristik (1,09 MPa) ve stearik asit (3,360 MPa) için kontrol filme göre daha yüksek, uzama değeri ise kaprik asit (%114,59) için daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanılarak üretilen filmlerin çözünürlük, nem ve kalınlık değerleri kontrollere göre daha yüksek bulunmuştur. En iyi su buharı bariyer özelliğine amiloz-miristik asit kompleks filmi (0,394 g.mm/m2.h.kPa) ile elde edilmiştir. SEM ve AFM görüntüleri amiloz-lipit kompleksi kullanımının film morfolojik ve topografik özelliklerine etki ettiğini göstermiştir. Su ile yüzey temas açısı sonuçlarına göre sadece amiloz-stearik asit kompleksi filmi hidrofobik yüzeye sahip olmuşlardır. Tüm sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde proje kapsamında karabuğday nişastasından enzime dirençli nişasta kaynağı olma potansiyeline sahip amiloz-lipit kompleksi oluşturmuş; oluşturulan bu komplekslerden mekanik özellikleri yüksek yenilebilir film üretimi gerçekleştirilebilmiştir.

Near- and Far-Field Characterization of Planar mm-Wave Antenna Arrays With Waveguide-to Transition
(Springer, 2016) Salhi, Mohammed Adnan; Kazemipour, Alireza; Gentille, Gennaro; Spirito, Marco; Kleine-Ostmann, Thomas; Schrader, Thorsten
We present the design and characterization of planar mm-wave patch antenna arrays with waveguide-to-microstrip transition using both near- and far-field methods. The arrays were designed for metrological assessment of error sources in antenna measurement. One antenna was designed for the automotive radar frequency range at 77 GHz, while another was designed for the frequency of 94 GHz, which is used, e.g., for imaging radar applications. In addition to the antennas, a simple transition from rectangular waveguide WR-10 to planar microstrip line on Rogers 3003 (TM) substrate has been designed based on probe coupling. For determination of the far-field radiation pattern of the antennas, we compare results from two different measurement methods to simulations. Both a far-field antenna measurement system and a planar near-field scanner with near-to-far-field transformation were used to determine the antenna diagrams. The fabricated antennas achieve a good matching and a good agreement between measured and simulated antenna diagrams. The results also show that the far-field scanner achieves more accurate measurement results with regard to simulations than the near-field scanner. The far-field antenna scanning system is built for metrological assessment and antenna calibration. The antennas are the first which were designed to be tested with the measurement system.
Ball Lens Based Mobile Microscope
(Gazi Univ, 2016) Icoz, Kutay
In this paper we report a low cost, simple and mobile microscope based on attachment of a ball lens to a cell phone. The system's noise and parameters affecting the image quality is investigated. The ball lens provides approximately 100X magnification and together with the cell phone's integrated lens and image sensor, 3,4-micron resolution is reached. The field-of-view of the system is 1500x1500 mu m where the price of the ball lens and the holder is less than 10 cents. By using this system as an optical light microscope, we are able to acquire images of micro particles and micro sensors. When combined with image processing methods, this optical system is capable of doing complex analysis as an alternative to commercial optical light microscopes.

Glass Ceiling in Academia Revisited: Evidence From the Higher Education System of Turkey
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Bulbul, Serap
Current study investigates the gender gap in academic promotions in Turkey taking a new perspective on the widely established existence of gender inequality in academia. The dataset includes the eight most-prominent research universities in Turkey and the nature of the 'glass ceiling' is explored by looking at the gendered distributions of: (1) academic seats -indicating academic performances, and (2) coauthorship patterns concerning genders. Findings suggest that there is gender disparity in academic performances as well as in academic promotions. In addition, gender is found to be a significant factor in explaining the current situation in academic ranks and subtle discrimination practices may exist instead of overt discrimination practices as it is also suggested in previous studies. In sum, results show two main points: (1) There is evidence of gender gap in academic promotions in Turkey, (2) A new variable -cross gender coauthorship- for glass ceiling research may provide further insight about the issue.
