Promoting Migration-Oriented Resilience and Social Cohesion in Adana

This study analyses the vulnerabilities, opportunities and urban resilience and social cohesion awareness that emerged in Adana province in the face of the mass migration movement towards Adana province after the civil war that started in Syria in 2011. In this respect, we will first try to make conceptual fixations on resilience awareness. After explaining the historical origin and evolution of the concept, we will address the issue of putting the issue on the agenda of our country and municipalities at the local level. Afterwards, we plan to make use of the Migration Master Plan prepared by Adana Metropolitan Municipality with the perspective of increasing urban resilience against migration and establishing resilience.
 Based on these points, we would like to summarize the study under three main headings. In the introduction section, we will try to reveal the political and historical background of the issue at the scale of Adana. In the first section, we will discuss the issue of urban resilience in the face of migration by making conceptual fixations. In the second section, we will try to understand the impact of Syrian migration on the city in Adana. In the third part, we will discuss the vulnerabilities and opportunities set out in the Migration Master Plan prepared by Adana Metropolitan Municipality and discuss the problems, targets and solution vision. The study will conclude with a general evaluation on the subject.

Development of Nystagmus Test and Measurement for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Vertigo is the illusion of rotation occuring due to a problem or a set of problems in the balance system of the body, and it is the situation that objects or places around the patients are in a revolving position around themselves. In vertigo, which is examined under two main headings as central and peripheral, central vertigo can be caused by aneurysms, tumors, and brain vascular distruption caused by brain lesions, while peripheral vertigo can occur due to thyroid types and metabolic disorders. Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, colloquially called ‘crystal floating’, is the most common type of peripheral vertigo and many diagnostic, exercise and treatment methods are used in case of BPPV. However, today, as a result of the increase in computer use, treatment interactions have increased significantly. In line with the software created in this study, a computer-based diagnosis system and measurement system of nystagmus movements due to BPPV were developed. The system consists of three parts: mechanical, software and hardware. Visual Studio c# software interface and connection control software were formed in accordance with the diagnostic methods obtained from the literature. Software panels prepared on the interface for bithermal caloric and other tests are opened and the electronystagmography data prepared accordingly are graphed on Digilent Waveforms Analog Discovery. The performance of the BPPV test and measurement system were applied to the control group consisting of 10 healthy individuals. Dix-Hallpike, gaze, head rotation, optokinetic, pursuit tracking, bithermal caloric, Head Shaking and Saccadic tests were applied. As a result, the time for the preparation of the bithermal caloric test to 30-degree temperature value of the 3900 ml and 2600 ml was calculated as 4.00 ∓ 1.8 s and 3.67 ∓ 2.8 s. For 44-degree temperature value, they were -1,70 ∓ 2,75 s and -0,70 ∓ 3,09 s. Thus, it is seen that the developed system will enable the diagnosis of patients with BPPV to be determined in accordance with integrated visual stimuli in an accurate and ergonomic environment.

Emergencies in movement disorders

Movement disorders can be defined as the abnormality of the speed and form of body movements. Although movement disorders often occur chronically, they can sometimes develop acutely or sub-acutely, and some can be fatal if not diagnosed and treated early. Here, emergencies in movement disorders are discussed under two main headings as emergencies related to hyperkinetic movement disorders and emergencies related to hypokinetic movement disorders. This review draws attention to the importance of that accurate diagnosis and early treatment can be life-saving in emergencies in movement disorders. It also provides recommendations for diagnosis and therapy.

Yetenek Yönetiminin Örgüt Teorisi Bağlamında İncelenmesi

The concept of talent management has been examined from the perspective of theories such as resource dependency theory, McKinsey research, and human capital approach, which are frequently cited in the literature. In this study, the values that the concept of talent management expresses for organizations in terms of different theories were examined and it was aimed to contribute to the literature. In the literature, the relationship of talent management with different variables has been examined in studies or theses related to talent management, and in some studies, the theories on which talent management is based are mentioned. However, these theories have not systematically been found in studies that only constitute the main headings of the study. It will be useful to researchers who want to use the concept of talent management in order to see the theories on which the concept of talent management is based in a single study.

Surface-Activated Pencil Graphite Electrode for Dopamine Sensor Applications: A Critical Review

Pencil graphite electrode (PGE) is an alternative, commercially available, ready-to-use, screen-printed electrode for a wide range of electroanalytical applications. Due to the complex-matrix composition and unpredictable electro-inactive nature of PGE in its native form, a surface pre-treatment/activation procedure is highly preferred for using it as an electroactive working electrode for electroanalytical applications. In this article, we review various surface pre-treatment and modification procedures adopted in the literature with respect to the sensitive and selective detection of dopamine as a model system. Specific generation of the carbon-oxygen functional group, along with partial surface exfoliation of PGE, has been referred to as a key step for the activation. Based on the Scopus® index, the literature collection was searched with the keywords "pencil and dopamine". The obtained data were segregated into three main headings as: (i) electrochemically pre-treated PGE; (ii) polymer-modified PGEs; and (iii) metal and metal nanocomposite-modified PGE. This critical review covers various surface activation procedures adopted for the activation for PGE suitable for dopamine electroanalytical application.

Implementation and Methodology of a Pilot, Localized Video Library of Cataract Surgeries for Residency Training in a Tertiary Philippine Eye Institute

Objectives. Video-based learning of surgical skills is a useful complement in training programs. This is more evident where direct patient exposure is limited due to multiple factors. In ophthalmic surgery, access to high quality ocular surgery videos such as for cataract operations, can provide significant learning points for trainees in an institutional program. Creation therefore of a local, curated, and indexed library of cataract surgery would support alternative means to maximize training of new ophthalmic surgeons. The objective of the project was to develop a local library of cataract surgery videos as an adjunct teaching tool for resident trainees in a Philippine tertiary eye care center.Methods. A collection of cataract surgery videos from 2013-2020 were compiled into a single workstation. Videos were reviewed and catalogued using set keywords for easy searchability and labelling.Results. 256 videos of cataract surgeries were compiled into the library. 6 main headings for the keywords, with 159 total subheadings were established to provide robust tagging and search options to index the video.Conclusion. Particularly in Ophthalmic surgery, refinement of surgical technique is essential in ensuring better postoperative visual outcomes. This is achieved through repetition and careful dissection of operative technique. The use of a library with multiple videos of a similar procedure allows trainees more exposure to certain cases. This ultimately affords trainees, better experience and confidence in their own surgeries.

A Systematic Review of Sources of English Language Anxiety

Research on sources of language anxiety (LA) of undergraduates specifically when they engage in speaking activities has generated a plethora of discrete findings. An apparent gap is that these findings have not been used to inform a coherent framework where various sources of LA are identified and properly grouped. Such a framework is important for developing proper interventions to manage LA effectively in English as a Second Language (ESL)/English as a Foreign Language (EFL) contexts. This paper utilized a systematic review methodology to examine the key studies published from 2015 to 2020 on sources of LA in ESL/EFL contexts. When assessed against the inclusion/exclusion criteria, five of the 121 studies identified were selected to be included in the systematic review. The review revealed a number of anxiety sources that emerge specifically when students engage in oral performance. These were categorized under three main headings: (i) learner-specific, (ii) in-class, and (iii) out-of-class. It further highlighted the importance of out-of-class sources in ESL/EFL contexts and how they have been neglected and underrated in the literature specifically in defining LA. Hence, it is expected that this review will advance the understanding of LA, especially regarding LA in socio-culturally complex ESL/EFL contexts. Such a comprehensive understanding of the sources of LA is fundamental in the reconceptualisation of a coherent framework to successfully address it.

Understanding the choice for sustainable modes of transport in commuting trips with a comparative case study

This study aims to understand the reasons behind people's modal preferences in commuting trips, which contribute to transportation-related problems and to develop and prioritize policies that increase the use of sustainable modes. For this reason, in this study, a comparative case study was conducted to evaluate the factors that lead to choosing or not choosing sustainable modes. Commuting trips in San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Jose and Sacramento, which are large cities with high automobile dependency and many potential alternatives to driving, were examined using the National Household Transportation Survey (NHTS) and spatial data. The factor classifications suggested in the literature were shaped according to the scope of the study and examined on four main headings. Proximity analyses were completed in the GIS environment to evaluate the environmental effects. The effects of all factor parameters on modal preferences were calculated for each mode of transport in the study with Binary Logistic Regression analyses. As a result of the comparative analysis, the barriers to using sustainable transportation modes in cities and the reasons for driving are determined. As a result, long-term policies were determined and prioritized with literature to manage these causes and barriers. The results show that modal choices are affected by many different parameters, the reasons differ locationally, and accordingly, the policy measures in each region should be different.

School Administrators’ Views on Problem Situations and Solution Recommendations in Distance Education during Covid-19 Pandemi

This study was conducted to get school principals’ views on transition to the distance education (via TRT-EBA TV and Education Information Network), which was implemented within the scope of the measures taken at schools in Turkey with Covid-19 pandemic, to identify the problems at schools in this process, to determine the activities to overcome the problems and to reveal administrators’ recommendations. In this qualitative research, the phenomenology design was preferred. The study was carried out in the spring semester of the 2020-2021 academic year. 15 school administrators working in Gaziantep were included in the study using the maximum sampling method. Due to the pandemic conditions, interviews were held with the participants by technological devices and data were collected in this way. The data were analyzed by content analysis. According to the findings, problems concentrated under four main headings (categories) at schools during pandemic. These are technology, adaptation, planning and school-family cooperation. In line with the school administrators’ views, problem situations were identified in sub-headings such as access to technology-based (online) education, student's technological proficiency, students' attendance in online classes, the environment in which students attend in distance education, distance education experience, supervision in distance education, teachers' adaptation to distance education, students' adaptation to distance education, psychological state and motivation, communication, preparing course schedules, arranging lessons such as remunerating the courses and calculating additional course allowances, planning in-school activities, providing parents' support for distance education and establishing school-family cooperation. Many activities and administrator recommendations to eliminate these problems were determined and presented in tables in the findings section. At the end of the study, some recommendations such as improving the infrastructure providing access to distance education, organizing trainings to increase technology literacy for both teachers and students, etc. were included for practitioners, policy makers and researchers.

Benchmarking of Irrigation Performance in Karataş and Karaçal Irrigation Associations

This study was carried out to evaluate the system performances of Karataş and Karaçal irrigation associations located in Burdur province. Karataş irrigation association was put into operation in 1982 and Karaçal irrigation association in 2015 with irrigation areas are 5476 and 4975 ha, respectively. The same public personnel were appointed to both irrigation associations as the Head of the Association in 2018, and as of 2019, both irrigation Associations were gathered under the management of Karataş irrigation association. In this study, the performances of Karataş irrigation, which has an old and predominantly open canal system, and Karaçal irrigation systems, which are relatively new and have a pressurized irrigation system, between the years 2015-2019 have been evaluated. In the performance evaluation, a set of indicators under two main headings as water use efficiency, and financial efficiency recommended by the International Technology and Research Program in Irrigation and Drainage (IPTRID) was used. According to the results of the research, when the water use efficiency is examined, especially Annual relative irrigation supply (0.53-0.73 for Karataş; 0.47-0.96 for Karaçal) and irrigation ratio (20-72% for Karataş; 36% for Karaçal) 55) values were not at the desired levels. In terms of Financial Efficiency, cost recovery ratio (119-401% for Karataş; 144-311 for Karaçal) and revenue collection performance (78-442% for Karataş; 10-130 for Karaçal) were found to be high. Although this is a new irrigation, Karaçal irrigation shows that relatively high maintenance costs are incurred. Total operating maintenance and management (MOM) cost per unit area is US$ 9.60-14.98/ha for Karataş and as 1.32-22.92 US$/ha for Karaçal. These values showed that, in general, both irrigations have sufficient financial strength.

Lived Experience of Adult Female Cancer Survivors to Discover Common Protective Resilience Factors to Cope with Cancer Experience and to Identify Potential Barriers to Resilience.

Primary objective - Phase I: The primary objective of this study was as follows: (1) To identify common protective resilient factors that enabled the adult female cancer survivors to cope with the cancer experience. (2) To identify potential barriers to the resilience of adult female cancer survivors. Secondary objective - Phase II: The secondary objective of this study was to develop and validate a resilience tool for cancer survivorship. A mixed approach using sequential exploratory design was used in the study. A qualitative approach using phenomenology design was used in the first phase followed by a quantitative approach in the second phase. In the first phase, in-depth interviews were conducted until data saturation with 14 female breast cancer survivors chosen by purposive and maximum variation sampling methods based on inclusion criteria. The researcher used Colaizzi's data analysis framework to analyse the transcripts. Findings were configured as protective resilience factors and barriers to resilience. Based on the analysis of the qualitative phase, the researcher developed a 35-item resilience tool for cancer survivorship. Content validity, criterion validity and reliability of the newly developed instrument were assessed. In the qualitative phase, the mean age of the participants was 57.07 years and the mean age at diagnosis was 55.5 years. The majority 11 (78.57%) of them were homemakers. All 14 (100%) of them had undergone surgery. The majority 11 (78.57%) of them had all three modes of therapy, that is, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. The categories of themes identified are presented under two main headings, that is, protective resilience factors and barriers to resilience. The theme categories identified under protective resilience factors were personal, social, spiritual, physical, economic and psychological factors. The barriers to resilience identified were lack of awareness, medical/biological barriers, social, financial and psychological barriers. The developed resilience tool had a content validity index of 0.98, a criterion validity of 0.67, internal consistency of 0.88 and stability of 0.99 at a 95% confidence interval. Principle component analysis (PCA) was used to validate the domains. PCA of protective resilience factors (Q1-Q23) and barriers to resilience (Q24-Q35) had Eigenvalues of 7.65 and 4.49, respectively. The resilience tool for cancer survivorship was found to have good construct validity. The present study has identified the protective resilience factors and barriers to resilience among adult female cancer survivors. The developed resilience tool for cancer survivorship was found to have good validity and reliability. It will be useful for nurses and all other healthcare professionals to assess the resilience needs of cancer survivors and to provide need-based quality cancer care.
