The Moderating Role of Work Overload in the Effect of Transformational Leadership on Individual Innovativeness: A Study on School Administrators

This study was conducted to determine the regulatory role of excessive workload in the effect of transformational leadership behaviors of school administrators on individual innovativeness within the educational ecosystem. The data of the study were collected from teachers working in schools in Isparta city center. Within the scope of the research, the data collected with the participation of 1007 teachers using convenience sampling method were subjected to regularization analysis using bootstrap regression analysis. According to the findings, transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on individual innovativeness. Excessive workload was found to have a negative moderating role in the effect of transformational leadership on individual innovativeness. The findings were discussed in line with the literature and suggestions were made for future studies.

Investigation of the Highway Between Isparta-Ağlasun (Burdur) in Terms of Mass Movement Sensitivity

In our country, mass-ground movements such as landslides, rockfalls and avalanches are the most common types of disasters after earthquakes in terms of their destructive effects. The aim of the study is to determine the susceptibility of mass movements on sloping surfaces along the Isparta-Ağlasun road route. The study area includes approximately 41 kilometres of highway route between Isparta city centre and Ağlasun districts and its surroundings. Steep slopes on the road, loose soil properties in places, and torrential rains cause frequent rock falls, slope debris and mud flows on the study area. It is extremely important to identify the areas susceptible to ground movements along the route in order to take necessary precautions and prevent future loss of life and property. For this purpose, the parameters that are thought to cause mass movements along the road route were evaluated together with Geographical Information Systems programme and Analytical Hierarchy Method and the areas sensitive to low-medium-high and very high mass movements along the route were determined. The sensitivity map obtained was supported by field observations. With this study, areas sensitive to mass movements along the route were mapped and a database was created to help local administrators and planners.

A COMPREHENSIVE STUDY ON PLANT CONTAINERS USED IN URBAN OPEN SPACES: A CASE STUDY OF ISPARTA -TURKIYE

The type, size and shape of plants and containers must be carefully overviewed by urban designers. In Isparta city center, seven main types of planters were observed, even some have further subdivisions. These are; concrete-, wood-, plastic-, composite- (wood-plastic), metal- (aluminum), terracotta- and aluminum-wood combined planters. Each type of those has its own aesthetic and functional properties. However, aluminum and composite planters appeared to have resistance to weathering conditions, while many terracotta and concrete planters were found to be stained due to aging, because of lime and mineral salts in their structure. Moreover, terracotta, concrete, plastic and aluminum-wood containers appeared to be sensitive to physical damage, probably due to their weights and transportation difficulties. Besides many variations, only one sized wood-based planter (rectangular) and one type of wood framed trellis were observed throughout the study, which all looked rustic in appearance. In order to carry out sustainability, planters must have certain resistance characteristics; resistance to ageing, temperature variations, ultra violet radiations (natural colour stability), corrosion and wear, both in the case of normal usage and vandalism. In this sense, it is important to note that wood-based containers are not found to be suitable in the present form in the study area, which may be better to utilize as a wooden box. Only one type of trellis has been found to be used in some large planters (e.g., concrete, aluminum, wood, wood-aluminum and composite) and which is very useful for tall plants and vines which can catch the breeze and add movement.

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF INTRAVENOUS THROMBOLYTIC THERAPY IN PATIENTS OVER EIGHTY YEARS

: Introduction: Intravenous thrombolytic therapy (IVTT) is licensed for patients under 80 years in many countries. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate functional results and complication rates of IVTT in patients over eighty years and whether there is a difference in efficacy and safety between low dose and standard dose recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rTPA). Methods: A retrospective observational study of patients over eighty who admitted to Suleyman Demirel University Faculty of Medicine Hospital between August 2016 and April 2021 and to Isparta City Hospital between April 2017 and April 2021 and diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke were conducted. Third month modified rankin scores (mRS) and mortality rates of patients and hemorrhagic transformations were determined. Results: There were 29 patients in IVTT group and 25 patients in non-IVTT group. By the third month, it was observed that functional independence (mRS 0-2) ratio was increased more in IVTT group, but it wasn’t statistically significant (p: 0.087). In mortality and symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage rates, there wasn't statistically significant diffirence between IVTT and non-IVTT groups and low dose and standard dose rTPA groups by the third month. Conclusion: The efficacy and complication rates of IVTT in patients over 80 years were found similar to not receive IVTT. These results support the safety of IVTT in patients over 80 years. In low or standard dose rTPA preference, we observed that there wasnt’ statistically significance in efficacy and safety. We believe that these results will be supported by studies with larger number of patients.

ISPARTA AÇI BÖLGESİ (GÜNEYBATI TÜRKİYE) YAPILARIN SINIR TESPİTİ VE DERİNLİK TAHMİNİ ÜZERİNE HAVA MANYETİK VERİLERLE BİR ARAŞTIRMA

This paper aims to delineate the subsurface structures and their depths located in the Isparta Angle region (SW Turkey) through the aeromagnetic data. The dataset has been processed via the well-known mathematical tools such as spectral analysis and derivative methods. First, to separate these anomalies from each other, the spectral analysis has been completed and high anomaly regions have been determined around Isparta city. This could be attributed to the fact that these values might be stem from magnetic bodies (like volcanic cones, caldera) located in the Golcuk volcanic region. In addition, the average depths of deep and shallow causative bodies have been calculated to be 6.72 km and 0.31 km, respectively. Secondly, to delineate the exact location and the depth to top of the sources, analytic signal transformation and tilt method have been applied to the residual anomalies. The maps show six regions which have the high magnetization values and these anomalies have been investigated in detail to delineate the upper depths of subsurface structures. Especially, the study showed that Golcuk volcanic occurrences, which are one of the crucial structures in the region, have a deeper root (around 3.47 km) and larger lying magnetic bodies underneath the surface.

A Research on the Investigation of Outdoor Noise of Some Primary Schools in Isparta City Center, Turkey

Okullar; öğrencilerin eğitim aldıkları ve geleceklerini şekillendirdikleri alanlardır. Okullarda eğitimin sağlıklı bir şekilde devam edebilmesi için okul bahçeleri, dış mekanla okul arasında tampon görevi görmektedir. Kentsel açık yeşil alan birimlerinden birisi olarak kabul edilen okul bahçeleri; çocukların okul zamanı içinde ve dışında kullandıkları, kentleri açık yeşil alan bakımından bir miktar da olsa rahatlatan alanlar olarak gösterilmektedir. Okul bahçeleri, çocukların hem eğitim aldıkları hem de serbest zamanlarında vakit geçirdikleri alanlar olduğu için kullanım yoğunluğu oldukça fazladır. Bu yüzden, okul bahçelerinde ve çevresinde yaşanacak çevre sorunlarının en aza indirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Isparta kent merkezinde seçilen 4 resmi ilkokulda okul bahçesinde ve bahçe dışında, gürültü düzeyinin belirlenmesi amacıyla ölçümler yapılmış ve ölçüm verilerinden yararlanılarak gürültü haritaları hazırlanmıştır. Çalışma yapılacak olan okulların belirlenmesinde; kent merkezine yakın olmaları, öğrenci sayıları, bahçe büyüklükleri ve çevresindeki kullanımlar dikkate alınmıştır. Ölçümler, okullarda eğitim öğretimin devam ettiği hafta içi ve 08.30-17.00 saatleri arasında 5 dakika süre boyunca yapılmıştır. Ölçümlerin her noktada farklı gün ve saatlerde alınmasına dikkat edilmiştir. Ölçümler için her okulda teneffüste bahçe içinde, teneffüste bahçe dışında ve ders esnasında bahçe dışında olmak üzere belirlenen noktalardan üç ölçüm yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, WHO tarafından belirlenen okul bahçeleri çevresindeki gürültü sınır değerleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, tüm okullarda Leq değerinin 55 dB(A) üzerinde olduğu görülmüştür. Bu değerin WHO tarafından belirlenen okul bahçeleri çevresindeki gürültü sınır değerinin (55 dB(A)) üzerinde olması nedeniyle, okul çevrelerinde önlem alınması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Long-term analyses of water–rock interaction and its effect on Gölcük Lake water quality (Isparta-Turkey)

Water quality varies significantly depending on degree of leaching from aquifer rocks and pathway rocks. Waters’ chemical compositions are determined by degree of water–rock interaction, mineralogical and geochemical properties of lithological structures, and environmental factors. Golcuk Lake is used partly as the source of Isparta City’s drinking water. Volcanic rocks in this region are lava, volcanic breccia, agglomerate, and tuff and range from andesite to trachyandesite. Main hydrogeochemical facies determined in the area are (Na+-HCO3−). Concentrations of Mg2+, Na+, SO42−, and Cl− in the lake water samples increased in some years resulting from ion exchange of rock forming minerals by rainwater. The purpose of this research is to provide a better understanding of long-term water–rock interaction and its effect on water quality. Water quality indices were calculated using the Turkish Standard (TS) 266 of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the use of Golcuk Lake water as drinking water was assessed by Isparta. The fluoride content in Golcuk Lake was determined to be higher than the average.

It was observed that the participants were satisfied with the general quality of the city hospital in these four dimensions. Participants expressed their satisfaction especially with the cleanliness, hygiene and the new and spaciousness of the building. On the other hand, it has been revealed that factors such as waiting in line, confusion and size in the hospital, not getting enough information and parking lot are decrease the level of patient satisfaction.

A Study on Surrounding Elements in Housing Gardens: Case Study of Isparta City

The aim of this study was evaluating surrounding elements of selected housing gardens located in 33 neighborhoods of Isparta city center. The total of 278 face-to-face survey technique was applied on household and their responds were noted. It has realized that majority of garden walls had not appropriate design and landscape practice techniques applied. Because the light intensity and shady properties are important influence on garden planting, 164 of responders reported that their garden has a shady property. Moreover, six type of wall element (stone, concrete, briquette, wood, metal, plant) were observed but these walls are mostly constructed with concrete (72), followed by stone (17), metal (8), briquette (7), wood (2) and plant (1), respectively. In addition, 43 walls were found to be made combination of these six basic structural elements. But some surrounding elements were made from mortarless stone and bare concrete that are not particularly attractive. Some pictures from front-, back- and side garden’s surrounding structures (walls, fences, boundary elements) of family house gardens presented for evaluating. It was found that many of garden walls had no aesthetic and functional properties and mostly neglected appearance. In this sense, some suggestions have been made under landscape architecture discipline.
