Published: January 2024

Devlet anlayışıyla hemen hemen eş zamanlı olarak tarih sahnesine çıkan istihbarat, her devirde önemini koruyan ve çağının gereklerine göre değişip gelişerek günümüze kadar ulaşan nadir kavramlardan biridir. İçinde barındırdığı temel dinamiklerden olan “gizlilik” insan doğasındaki merakı her daim celbetse de, doğduğu yüzyıldan günümüze kadar olan yolculuğuna eşlik etmek sanıldığı kadar kolay değildir. Yolcularından, sabır, dikkat, titizlik, özen gibi temel yetenekler bekleyen bu alan, yolculuğu tamamlayabilenlere “bilme”nin hazzını vadeder. Bu çalışma, bütün bir yolculuğa değil belki ama iki durak arasındaki mesafeye şahitlik etmek gibi iddialı bir girişimin öznesidir. Söz konusu iki durak, Osmanlı idaresinin yürütmüş olduğu istihbarî faaliyetler özelinde, 1520 yılından başlayıp 1695’te sonlanan, yaklaşık iki asırlık süreyi ifade etmektedir. Çalışmaya dayanak oluşturan kaynak grubunun başında Osmanlı arşivinden edinilen resmi evrak gelmektedir. Kronikler ve diğer telif eserlerden de istifade edilmiştir.

Cyclic Voltammetry Method for Analysis of Phosphate Concentration in Water
Authors: Agustin Qomariyah , Setiarso Pirim
Published: January 2024

Phosphate is a nontoxic element but a limiting element for productivity. Several methods have been established to analyze the phosphate concentration in water. This study aims to analyze phosphate concentration in water using the voltammetry method using cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetry is an electroanalytical method that measures the current outcome of oxidation-reduction reactions in response to the potential. The current outcome is directly proportional to the phosphate concentration in the solution. The calibration curve was formed from the KH2PO4 standard solution using concentrations of 0.1 mg/L, 0.2 mg/L, 0.4 mg/L, 0.8 mg/L, and 1.6 mg/L. The voltammogram showed that the analyte does not have an anode peak current (Ipa), which means that the analyte solution did not have an oxidation reaction, so the cathode peak current (Ipc) value was used. Based on the calibration curve, the linear regression graph with a straight-line equation is y = -0,00000645632x - 0,000208737 with R2 of 0,99737. Meanwhile, this cyclic voltammetry method was validated by calculating the LOD and LOQ values; the results are 0.1034 mg/L and 0.3134 mg/L, respectively. Hence, based on the analysis of phosphate concentration in water samples, this method works satisfactorily and is suitable for routine analysis because of its advantages.

A Journey across Countries, Constructs, and Dreams: Perspectives of Indian American Families of Youth with Developmental Disabilities on Transition from School to Post-School Settings
Authors: Rao Shridevi
Published: January 2024

This article draws on the findings of a qualitative study that focused on the perspectives of four Indian American mothers of youth with developmental disabilities on the process of transitioning from school to post-school environments. Data were collected through in-depth ethnographic interviews. The findings indicate that in their efforts to support their youth with developmental disabilities, the mothers themselves navigate multiple transitions across countries, constructs, dreams, systems of schooling, and services. The mothers’ perspectives have to be understood against the larger context of their experiences as citizens of this country as well as members of the South Asian diaspora. The mothers’ views on services, their journey, their dreams for their youth, and their interpretation of the ideas anchored in current conversations on transition are continually evolving. Their attempts to maintain their resilience and their indigenous understandings while simultaneously negotiating their experiences in the United States with supporting their youth are discussed.

Published: January 2024

Background: The aim of this prospective study was to assess the efficacy of Nicorandil (NR) and Isosorbide Mononitrate (ISMN) in coronary artery disease (CAD). Nicorandil strengthens CAD treatment by inhibiting cardiac fatty acid oxidation, easing aggravation and improving heart function, which is critical for preventing heart failure and other significant consequences. Methods: 110 patients with CAD were selected as research subjects and randomly assigned to two groups: observational (Group O) and control (Group C), with 55 patients in each. The control group was given traditional CAD treatment, whereas the observational group received NR and ISMN in addition to conventional treatment. The blood pressure, CRP, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), troponin T, and ST-segment levels of two groups were assessed and compared at baseline, as well as after the second and fourth months, respectively. Results: This study found significant differences (P<0.05) between the observational and control groups in terms of BP, CRP, troponin T, and ST segment levels after the second and fourth months, whereas LVEF rose significantly (P<0.05) using one-way ANOVA. Similarly, an independent t-test was used to assess significant improvements in each group. Conclusions: The addition of Nicorandil and Isosorbide Mononitrate to a standard CAD regimen was found to have an important association with LVEF and inflammatory mediators, which can significantly improve cardiac functions while also preventing other cardiovascular complications in patients with coronary artery disease.

Introduction: Heart disease is a major public health concern with millions of reported deaths annually. Data mining techniques have received attention in recent years as a tool aiding diagnosis and prediction of heart disease cases. This systematic review examines the application of data mining methods to cardiac disease diagnosis in order to identify specific types of heart-related disease that are diagnosed using data mining techniques as well as the most successful data mining methods.Material and Methods: This study involved a systematic review of IEEE, Science Direct, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus and MEDLINE databases from 2008 until April 2023. Inclusion criteria were original papers that used data mining methods for heart disease diagnosis. Non-English papers, those without full text, studies conducted on animals, and other types of papers (conference abstracts and letters) were excluded from the study. All the retrieved references were then assessed by title and abstract according to PRISMA, after which full texts of relevant articles were analyzed. The final sample comprised of 47 articles.Results: Various classification methods have been utilized to diagnose heart-related disease using different mining tools, with genetic neural network data mining method having the highest accuracy among the studied techniques. Results show that predicting cardiac disease is the most commonly performed task. The demographic, bio-clinical, personal and exercise-related attributes, as well as other features used for classification were identified. The findings suggest that data mining methods hold great potential for detecting and preventing heart disease on both individual and population scales.Conclusion: The study findings have implications for the prevention and treatment of cardiac disease, especially in high-risk individuals. Data mining methods can be widely applied to detect and prevent heart disease on a population scale, as well as supporting decisions for the most suitable treatment for individual patients to prevent death and reduce treatment costs.
Examining Pre-Service Science Teachers' Personal and Enacted Pedagogical Content Knowledge About Seasons
Authors: KILIÇ Aygün
Published: January 2024

This study examined pre-service science teachers’ pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) about seasons. The framework of this study was based on the Refined Consensus Model (RCM), and pre-service teachers’ topic-specific PCK was also discussed in two dimensions: personal PCK (pPCK) and enacted PCK (ePCK), which are included in this model. The pPCK of the pre-service teachers represents their declarative PCK, and their ePCK represents their dynamic PCK. This qualitative descriptive research included 18 pre-service science teachers. In the study, knowledge of pre-service teachers’ pPCK was collected in vignette-based individual semi-structured interviews, and data on their competencies regarding their ePCK, which they revealed in a real classroom environment, were collected through field observations and teaching video recordings. The study’s qualitative data were evaluated using two separate rubrics developed by the author using the literature. Accordingly, it was determined that the pre-service teachers who participated in the research had limited pPCK and ePCK on the seasons and that their topic-specific pPCK was partially better quality than their topic-specific ePCK. Moreover, pre-service teachers’ ePCK was observed to be different from their pPCK, but their ePCK was based on their pPCK. In this context, it was seen that the results of this research are consistent with RCM.

The aim of this research is to develop a scale for determining pre-service teachers’ attitudes towards recycling. The research was carried out using a quantitative research design. The research was carried out in the education faculties of two state universities located in the east and west of Türkiye. 284 pre-service teachers (62 males, 222 females) who were selected by the easily accessible sampling method participated in the research. During the scale development process, an item pool consisting of 56 statements was created. The draft scale, which was prepared after the expert opinion, was applied to the pre-service teachers. After validity and reliability analysis, three factors with 32 items were obtained, which explained 42.456% of the total variance. The factors were named “Responsibility and Behavior,” “Consciousness and Awareness,” and “Economic Value”, respectively. The Cronbach”s Alpha coefficient was calculated as 0.893 for the “Responsibility and Behavior” factor, 0.785 for the “Consciousness and Awareness” factor, and 0.801 for the “Economic Value” factor. In addition, Cronbach’s Alpha was calculated as 0.884 for the overall scale. According to the findings, it can be said that this scale developed in the research is sufficient in terms of validity and reliability. However, in future studies, similar scales with confirmatory factor analysis can be developed and applied to large samples to examine participants’ attitudes toward recycling.
