Assessment of Criminal Charges Brought Against Teachers
(Nesibe Aydin Education inst, 2020) Okdem, Meltem
The aim of this study was to assess the charges brought against teachers in criminal courts in Turkey. A qualitative research method was used in the study. The study used the document analysis method because it involved the study of legal documents. In order to determine what cases against teachers were brought to trial between 2004 and 2018, charges filed against teachers were obtained via www.kazanci.com and www.LegalBank.com. databases. The themes in the study were determined in accordance with the Turkish Criminal Law as crimes against the person, crimes against the nation and the state, and crimes against society. The study was initiated as a result of the fact that cases of violence in schools have increased rapidly in recent years. One factor in this is offenses committed by teachers, and this situation will cause grave social problems in the future if no measures are taken. It was found that most charges brought against teachers in the criminal courts were cases related to crimes against the person. This was followed by crimes against the nation and state and crimes against society. The curriculum of Faculties of Education should include courses such as human rights, education law, anger control and conflict management to raise teachers' awareness of these issues.

Comparative Performance Analysis of Filtering Methods for Removing Baseline Wander Noise From an Ecg Signal
(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2024) Ozaydin, Selma; Ahmad, Imteyaz
ECG signals play a vital role in the diagnosis of cardiovascular conditions. However, they often suffer from the effects of various noise sources, including baseline wandering, respiratory artifact noise, power line interference and electrode motion artifacts. To overcome these challenges, it is imperative to implement low-frequency signal noise reduction strategies. Such strategies aim to significantly improve the quality of ECG signals, thus promoting more accurate and reliable diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. This paper conducts a comparative analysis to assess the effectiveness of commonly used filtering and wavelet techniques in reducing Baseline Wander (BW) noise within ECG signals generated by the influence of breathing or electrode movements. It is common to observe the selection and evaluation of only one particular technique in the existing literature. In contrast, this study aims to provide a comprehensive comparative analysis, providing insight into the performance and relative merits of different techniques. Our research uses both filtering and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) techniques in baseline noise removal. In this context, a reference point is established utilizing noise-free signals and a meticulous investigation of the wavelet-based approach that most effectively eliminates the resulting noise is provided. Subsequently, we assess the reference input and output signal via Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) and Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical test measurements. The most important contribution of this work to the scientific community resides in the comprehensive examination of IIR/FIR-based and wavelet method-based filtering methods capable of yielding the highest SNR levels across various ECG signals with various types of BW noise. Additionally, the effectiveness of the Chebychev-II filter in BW noise removal is highlighted. Our study was conducted using the MATLAB platform and code command lines were shared to facilitate the reproduction of our study by other researchers. It is considered that this study will be an important reference in the selection of effective techniques for removing BW noise within ECG signals.
Do Depreciations Really Trigger an Inflow of Foreign Direct Investment? the Case of Turkey
(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2018) Erunlu, Zeynep
In this study, the relationship between real exchange rate and foreign direct investment is examined using the Logistic Smooth Transition - Autoregressive Distributed Lag (LST-ARDL) model. Analyzing the effect of real exchange rate changes on foreign direct investment is very crucial for a developing country like Turkey which has a relatively large foreign debt stock. The estimation results show that foreign direct investment inflows to Turkey increase when Turkish Lira appreciates against the US dollar and this effect is especially strong during periods of high investment inflows. Thus, for Turkey to attract productive capital flows rather than unstable short-term portfolio flows it has to maintain a strong currency against the US dollar.

Mobbing Used Against Teachers by School Administrators: Examples of Case
(Hacettepe Univ, 2023) Okdem, Meltem
Mobbing means psychological violence, siege, harassment, inconvenience or annoyance. Mobbing against a teacher in schools can also negatively affect other teachers and create negativities in their performance. Also, this costs society a lot. It is crucial for teachers raising young people who are our future to work peacefully in their workplace both for themselves and for students. The purpose of this study was to assess mobbing behaviors, which are used by school principals against teachers and are submitted to the court. The study chose the "qualitative" research method. The study reached the mobbing cases opened by teachers against school principals on (www.LegalBank.com). The study investigated the mobbing cases by giving keywords without date restriction. Since the study investigated the court decisions to determine the mobbing behaviors used by school principals against teachers, it used the "document review" method and reached 15 cases between 2010 and 2020 within this scope. As a result of the study the school principals most displayed behaviors in the category of "attacks against professional career" of the teachers. Eight of the cases were attacks against professional career. Then the study reached six mobbing cases against communication. However, the study encountered no behaviors related to "attacks against social relations". In order to prevent these behaviors, we can recommend the following: Awareness should be raised in teachers concerning psychological harassment/intimidation in schools, seminars should be organized for them to protect from such behaviors via in-service training applications, awareness should be raised in teachers concerning their legal rights, the crime of administrators applying mobbing should be registered and they should not be allowed to get promotion and should be suspended for a certain period of time.
