MİMAR TURGUT CANSEVER’İN TASARIM DÜŞÜNCESİ ÜZERİNE ANTALYA KARAKAŞ CAMİİ BAĞLAMINDA BİR ÇÖZÜMLEME

Ankara’daki Türk Tarih Kurumu, Bodrum’daki Ertegün Evi ve Demir Turizm Kompleksi projeleri ile 1980 ve 1992 yıllarında Uluslararası Ağa Han Mimarlık Ödülü kazanan Turgut Cansever, dünyada bu ödülü üç kez alan tek isimdir. 1940’lı yıllarda İstanbul Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi’nden mimar ve İstanbul Üniversitesi’nden sanat tarihi doktoru unvanlarını alan Cansever, kuramsal çabalarıyla dönemin mimarlarından ayrışmaktadır (Düzenli, 2016, 249-50) (1). Mimarlığı günlük sorunları çözen teknik bir faaliyetin ötesinde, felsefe, din ve sanat ile aynı düzeyde varoluşsal bir disiplin olarak konumlandıran Cansever, tasarımlarını tutarlı bir felsefî sisteme dayandırmaya çalışmaktadır (Aydın, 1997, 324).
Mastering Public Administration: From Max Weber to Dwight Waldo

"Mastering Public Administration" is a wonderful starting point for an in-depth and nuanced study of the leading theorists in the field. With each chapter focusing on one figure, Brian Fry and new coauthor Jos Raadschelders weave an insightful narrative that not only humanizes these luminaries but makes their scholarship less abstract and easier for students to understand and apply. In addition to a new chapter on Charles Lindblom, the second edition includes a timeline that depicts a chronology of all of the figures - lives and seminal works. A Linkages to Contemporary Literature chart maps their ideas and impact, and a new conclusion discusses the connections between their scholarship, explores their continuing influence, and delves into the nature of the public administration field of study.
Short-Term Storage of Rooster Ejaculates: Sperm Quality and Bacterial Profile Differences in Selected Commercial Extenders

Bacterial contamination of semen has become an important contributor to the reduced shelf life of insemination doses in the poultry industry, which is why antibiotics (ATBs) are an important component of semen extenders. Due to a global rise in antimicrobial resistance, the aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of selected commercially available semen extenders to prevent possible bacterial contamination of rooster ejaculates. Two selected extenders free from or containing 31.2 µg/mL kanamycin (KAN) were used to process semen samples from 63 healthy Lohmann Brown roosters. Phosphate-buffered saline without ATBs was used as a control. The extended samples were stored at 4 °C for 24 h. Sperm motility, viability, mitochondrial activity, DNA integrity and the oxidative profile of each extended sample were assessed following 2 h and 24 h of storage. Furthermore, selective media were used to quantify the bacterial load and specific bacterial species were identified with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry. The results indicate that semen extenders enriched with KAN ensured a significantly higher preservation of sperm quality in comparison to their KAN-free counterparts. Bacterial load was significantly decreased in diluents supplemented with ATBs (p ≤ 0.001); however, KAN alone was not effective enough to eradicate all bacteria since several Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium and Micrococcus luteus were retrieved from samples extended in KAN-supplemented commercial extenders. As such, we may suggest that more focus should be devoted to the selection of an optimal combination and dose of antibiotics for poultry extenders, which should be accompanied by a more frequent bacteriological screening of native as well as extended poultry semen.
Conducting in-Depth Research on Influencing Mechanisms for Improving Social Media Services Using Cognition Theory

Abstract With the rapid popularization of communication technology, various social media platforms have grown rapidly. Social media plays an important role in promoting the whole social economy and spiritual culture. Therefore, understanding the social behavior of social users, mining the influencing factors in social media, and conducting in-depth research on its influencing mechanism have practical value for the improvement of social media services. Based on the research of social media development history, communication mode, application mode, and social behavior of social users, combined with social cognitive theory. The study aims to investigate the influencing mechanism for improving social media services using cognition theory. The data were collected from 233 users through an online survey; the collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM). Study results point to the importance of understanding cognitive mechanisms in the design and development of social media services by alienating cognitive insights. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on cognitive mechanisms that can be leveraged to improve social media services. Based on the study findings, it is suggested that social media platforms should focus on providing user-friendly interfaces, personalized content, and features that promote positive emotions to enhance user satisfaction and usage.
EU in the Views of Asia-Pacific Elites: Australia, New Zealand and Thailand. NCRE Research Series No. 5, December 2005

[From the Introduction]. With its population approximating 450m people and its territory covering the space from the Atlantic Ocean to the Carpathian Mountains, the European Union (EU) is a new “giant” on the world stage. Neither a nationstate nor a regional organization, the EU is growing in importance as an international actor. Traditionally, it has been known as a global economic powerhouse and currently holds the status of a leading economy in the ‘troika’ of major regions of the world economy – Europe/ EU, North America, and the Asia-Pacific. Alongside this projection as an economic ”muscle”, the EU has more recently sought new and complementary roles on the world stage – as an audible voice in the international political arena, a skilful international negotiator, a power with a ‘soft’ touch, a model for international integration, and a possible counterbalance to the USA.
Plasminogen System in the Pathophysiology of Sepsis: Upcoming Biomarkers

Severe hemostatic disturbances and impaired fibrinolysis occur in sepsis. In the most serious cases, the dysregulation of fibrinolysis contributes to septic shock, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and death. Therefore, an analysis of circulating concentrations of pro- and anti-fibrinolytic mediators could be a winning strategy in both the diagnosis and the treatment of sepsis. However, the optimal cutoff value, the timing of the measurements, and their combination with coagulation indicators should be further investigated. The purpose of this review is to summarize all relevant publications regarding the role of the main components of the plasminogen activation system (PAS) in the pathophysiology of sepsis. In addition, the clinical value of PAS-associated biomarkers in the diagnosis and the outcomes of patients with septic syndrome will be explored. In particular, experimental and clinical trials performed in emergency departments highlight the validity of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) as a predictive and prognostic biomarker in patients with sepsis. The measurements of PAI-I may also be useful, as its increase is an early manifestation of sepsis and may precede the development of thrombocytopenia. The upcoming years will undoubtedly see progress in the use of PAS-associated laboratory parameters.
Ingénierie de contrainte dans des cavités germanium : vers une application de laser intégré sur silicium

Le germanium dope n et contraint en tension est un candidat potentiel pour demontrer un laser sur silicium compatible avec un environnement CMOS. Dans ce travail de these, j’ai d’abord developpe un formalisme qui permet de calculer le gain optique en fonction de la deformation en tension, du dopage n et de l’injection des porteurs. Une technique de transfert de deformation via le depot de couche contrainte de SiN a ete optimisee. J’ai realise plusieurs types de cavites germanium contraintes sous forme de guides d’onde et de microdisques. Le transfert de deformation a ete optimise par sous-gravure et par une methode de bi-encapsulation qui a permis d’aboutir a une deformation biaxiale homogene et elevee de l’ordre de 1.5%. L’evaluation des deformations a ete confrontee a des simulations par elements finis, photoluminescence et spectroscopie Raman. L’etude experimentale et theorique des guides d’onde a montre l’avantage de la direction par rapport a la direction permettant une injection plus efficace de porteurs en centre de zone. L’etude experimentale des microdisques a permis d’observer des modes de galerie avec un facteur de qualite Q = 1540 a λ = 1940 nm. D’autre part, j’ai mis en evidence par photoluminescence la presence d’un fort dopage de 4×10¹⁹ cm⁻³ dans des couches germanium sur silicium epitaxiees par epitaxie par jets moleculaires utilisant une technique de co-dopage. Une modelisation du gain modal a permis de mettre en exergue l’effet du gradient de deformation dans le volume de la cavite. L’elargissement homogene a ete introduit dans la modelisation du gain optique afin de prendre en compte l’impact d’un dopage eleve.
Assessment of Fraction of Exhaled Nitric Oxide and Soluble Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products Biomarkers for Jordanian Asthmatic Children

Purpose Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and soluble advanced glycation end-product receptor (sRAGE) are proposed as biomarkers of asthma, therefore we sought to assess their use in asthmatic children of Jordan. Patients and Methods We conducted a case-control study at The University of Jordan Hospital. A total of 141 asthmatic children followed by respiratory pediatricians and 118 healthy children aged 4–18 years were recruited. FeNO was measured by NObreath device and serum sRAGE by ELISA that detect endogenously soluble isoform (esRAGE) and total soluble RAGE (sRAGE). Results sRAGE in asthmatic was half of the control (p <0.001). In addition, ratio of esRAGE/sRAGE was two-fold higher in asthmatic (p = <0.001). Neither FeNO nor esRAGE levels were significantly different between groups. FeNO and asthma control test (ACT) score were negatively correlated corrected for age and body mass index (BMI), (r = −0.180, p= 0.034). For the uncontrolled asthma group, esRAGE/sRAGE negatively correlated with ACT score (r = −.329, p = 0.038). Receiver operating curve (ROC) analysis revealed significant predictive value (PV) for sRAGE and esRAGE/sRAGE in asthma detection with area under the curve (AUC) of (0.751 ± 0.031) and (0.711±.033), consequently. However, no biomarker had a significant PV for lack of control. Conclusion The current study supports utilizing sRAGE as a marker for asthma and present a potential therapeutic target. However, our results indicate that both FeNO and sRAGE have a limited role in the management of asthmatic children or assessment of asthma control.
Bone Marrow: The Central Immune System

Bone marrow is known as the site of hematopoiesis. What is not being described in textbooks of immunology is the fact that bone marrow is not only a generative, but also an antigen-responsive, immune organ. It is also a major storage site for antigen-specific memory B and T cells. That bone marrow is a priming site for T cell responses to blood borne antigens was discovered exactly 20 years ago. This review celebrates this important discovery. The review provides a number of examples of medical relevance of bone marrow as a central immune system, including cancer, microbial infections, autoimmune reactions, and bone marrow transplantation. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell-derived stromal cells provide distinct bone marrow niches for stem cells and immune cells. By transmitting anti-inflammatory dampening effects, facilitating wound healing and tissue regeneration mesenchymal stem cells contribute to homeostasis of bone and other tissues. Based on the evidence presented, the review proposes that bone marrow is a multifunctional and protective immune system. In an analogy to the central nervous system, it is suggested that bone marrow be designated as the central immune system.
Topological Event Cleaning for a Measurement of the Top Quark Mass

This note presents some preliminary tests on an analysis tool (called topological event cleaning) that could be adopted for the t quark mass measurement in the lepton+jets channel. The aim of such tests was to understand if some requests on the topological distribution of the 4 leading jets in the event could lead to a lower systematic uncertainty and to understand how it works in addition to b -tagging. The topological event cleaning seems to be not performing as hoped in terms of decreasing of the uncertainty, while the selected events show in average a better parton-to-jet assignment. The code version used for the analysis was 4.11. 2. This work (with the title “Meth-ods for the Measurement of the Top Quark Mass”) was written as a ﬁnal report for the Italian “Laurea Triennale” in Physics, under the supervision of Giorgio Bellettini (INFN – Pisa) and Guram Chlachidze (JINR – Dubna).
Description of body conformation of Nigerian Indigenous Turkeys using exploratory factor analysis

Body dimensions are used to characterise livestock species. Factor analysis is a multivariate technique for examining the interrelationship among a set of variables that are correlated. Factor analysis was used to describe body conformation of Nigerian indigenous turkeys in this study. The biometric traits of Nigerian indigenous turkeys were measured at 20 th week of age and subjected to PROC FACTOR of SAS using varimax criterion of orthogonal rotation method. The highest Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.94 was observed between wing length and wing span. Three factors accounted for 87.41% of the total variance. The first factor accounted for 50.23% of the total variance, the second factor accounted for 24.39% while the third factor accounted for 12.79% of the total variance. The communality ranged from 0.77 in body weight to 0.98 in breast girth. All the biometric traits studied were very effective in explaining body conformation in Nigerian indigenous turkeys. Three factors explained all the biometric traits of Nigerian indigenous turkeys. The first factor explained body weight, body length, shank length, thigh length and keel length. The second factor explained wing parts while the third factor explained only the breast girth. It can therefore be concluded that the three factors obtained in this study described body conformation of Nigerian indigenous turkeys.
New Approach based on Association Rules for Building and Optimizing OLAP Cubes on Graphs

—The expansion of data has prompted the creation of various NoSQL (Not only SQL) databases, including graph-oriented databases, which provide an understandable abstraction for modeling complex domains and managing highly connected data. However, to add graph data to existing decision support systems, new data warehouse systems that consider the special characteristics of graphs need to be developed. This work proposes a novel method for creating a data warehouse under a graph database and demonstrates how OLAP (Online Analytical Processing) structures created for reporting can be handled by graph databases. Additionally, the paper suggests using aggregation algorithms based association rules techniques to improve the efficiency of reporting and data analysis within a graph-based data warehouse. Finally, we provide a Cypher language implementation of the suggested approach to evaluate and validate our approach.
Service-Oriented Network Resource Orchestration in Space-Air-Ground Integrated Network

Space-air-ground integrated networks (SAGINs) are envisioned to provide seamless coverage and enhanced flexibility compared with traditional terrestrial mobile networks, which has attracted much attention from both industry and academia. However, orchestrating heterogeneous resources in such a large-scale and dynamic network is challenging, especially encountering diverse services with multi-dimensional requirements. In this paper, we first propose a software-defined networking (SDN) and network function virtualization (NFV)-based reconfigurable SAGIN architecture for constructing service function chains (SFCs). Based on that, we investigate the SFC orchestration and wireless resource management where the virtual link rate adaption between each virtual network function (VNF) is introduced to improve the network resource utilization. Considering the limited physical resource and the heterogeneity in SAGINs, we jointly formulate the VNF embedding, virtual link rate adaption, and wireless resource allocation as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problem to maximize the network profit. Due to the NP-hardness of the problem, we first transform the problem into a continuous optimization problem by successive convex approximation. By introducing an additional penalty into the objective function, an iterative alternation algorithm is proposed to find a near-optimal solution of the transformed problem. Extensive simulation results show that our proposed approach outperforms the benchmarks in average network revenue, successfully serving probability, and resource consumption.
Exploring attractively interacting fermions in 2D using a quantum gas microscope

Recent advances in the field of ultracold quantum gases have played an important role in expanding our understanding of strongly-correlated quantum matter. These gases are isolated, clean and fully controllable systems, allowing bottom-up engineering of idealized condensed matter models. Interacting Fermi gases are particularly interesting because of their relevance to understanding systems ranging from hightemperature superconductors to neutron stars. In this thesis, I describe the development of a quantum gas microscope for studying Fermi gases of lithium-6 in two dimensions. With this tool, we can probe 2D systems containing over a thousand fermions and measure the spin or density on each site as well as n-point correlations of these quantities. The design of our microscope introduces several new simplifying features, including a novel Raman cooling scheme for imaging that does not require confining the atoms in the Lamb-Dicke regime in all directions. I report on two experiments we have performed using this instrument. First I present an exploration of attractive spin-imbalanced gases in two dimensions. We observe in-trap phase separation characterized by the appearance of a spin-balanced core surrounded by a polarized gas. In addition, we observe pair condensation in momentum-space measurements even for large polarizations where phase separation vanishes, indicating the presence of a polarized pair condensate. In a second experiment, we explore fermions in an optical lattice, described by the Fermi-Hubbard model. Compared to the repulsive model, the attractive model has received less experimental attention despite its rich phase diagram, including a possible FFLO phase in the polarized system. Using the microscope, we directly image charge density wave correlations in our system and use them to put a lower bound on pairing correlations. We also demonstrate that these correlations constitute
How Online Communities Affect Online Community Engagement and Word-of-Mouth Intention

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of online communities on online community engagement and word-of-mouth intention. The current research model was extended and developed into a theoretical model that conceptualizes the relationship between the main concepts to study the influence of utilitarian value, hedonic value, entitativity value, social presence, social support, and community identification on online community engagement, which will therefore affect word-of-mouth intention. Therefore, based on the collected survey questionnaire of 338 responses in Jordan, the results were analyzed using Amos 22. EFA is used to test reliability and validity, analyze the validation of the convergent model and the discriminant validity and analyze the data description. Moreover, this study applied Path Analysis, which was used to check the hypotheses of the studies that were previously developed by researchers. The findings of the seven hypotheses that were conducted to test the research hypotheses indicate that entitativity value, social support, social presence, community identification, and word-of-mouth intention significantly influence online community engagement. However, the utilitarian value and the hedonic value did not influence online community engagement significantly. In addition, the results represent various findings that hold essential implications and accordingly, recommendations are suggested for future marketing research and practices.
Agglomerative Clustering of 2022 Earthquakes in North Sulawesi, Indonesia

This paper presents a cluster analysis of earthquake data in the surrounding region of North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The dataset comprises seismic data recorded throughout the year 2022, obtained from the BMKG earthquake repository. A total of 211 earthquakes were included in the analysis, with a minimum magnitude threshold of 2.5 and a maximum depth of 300 km. The agglomerative clustering technique, combined with the elbow method, was employed to determine the optimal and distinct number of clusters. As a result, four unique clusters were identified. Cluster 1 exhibited high magnitudes, with an average magnitude of 4.4, and shallow depths, averaging at 20 km. Cluster 2 also had high magnitudes, averaging at 4.4, but deeper depths, with an average of 199 km. Cluster 3 consisted of earthquakes with low magnitudes, averaging at 3.4, and shallow depths, averaging at 21 km. Lastly, Cluster 4 comprised earthquakes with low magnitudes, averaging at 3.4, but deeper depths, with an average of 136 km. Among the 211 earthquakes, 29 were assigned to Cluster 1, 39 to Cluster 2, 100 to Cluster 3, which had the highest population, and 43 to Cluster 4. This study provides valuable insights into the clustering patterns and characteristics of earthquakes in the region, contributing to a better understanding of seismic activity in North Sulawesi, Indonesia
THE TRIPARTITE RELATIONSHIP AMONG EFL TEACHERS’ COGNITION, PERCEIVED AND ACTUAL CLASSROOM PRACTICES OF READING INSTRUCTION

Understanding the beliefs that guide teachers’ decision making and actions in their classrooms could help educators adjust how they work with teachers to provide more targeted feedback, to support teachers‘ professional growth and development throughout their career. The ultimate aim of this study was to show the tripartite relationship among EFL teachers’ cognition, perceived and actual classroom practices of reading instruction at secondary schools in Addis Ababa. A descriptive survey research design was employed. Questionnaire, interview and classroom observation were used as major data collection instruments. Particularly, questionnaire and interview were used to explore teachers’ cognition, and perceived practices of reading instruction whereas classroom observation was done to assess their actual classroom practices. The study was held at six secondary schools found in Gulela sub city in Addis Ababa. 80 English language teachers who were active in the academic year of 2022 had taken part in filling the questionnaire. And classroom observation and interview were done with six EFL teachers. The study participants were selected purposively. Finally, the data attained via questionnaire was analyzed quantitatively by using SPSS, whereas data from interview and classroom observation were qualitatively narrated. The finding revealed that EFL teachers’ cognition of reading instruction and their actual classroom practices lied on the bottom up approach of reading instruction whereas the report of teachers’ perceived classroom practices indicated that they implement top-down approach. EFL teachers’ cognition of reading instruction was found to be contradicting with their perceived classroom practices but congruent with their actual classroom practices.
