Article Americanization of Political Campaigns: a Comparison of the Cases of Forza Italia and the Young Party(Turkiye Orta Dogu Amme Idaresi Enstitusu, 2010) Turk, Hasan Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerSimilar to political institutions and structures, political campaigns have also undergone dramatic transformations. The Americanization of political campaigns, which are characterized by certain peculiarities, such as the personalization of politics, weakening of party organizations, wide use of media channels in the political marketing process, need for specialization, primacy of opinions over ideologies and conceptualization of citizens as policy consumers, is a by-product of these dramatic transformations. This paper aims to compare Forza Italia and the Young Party through the Americanization of political campaigns with special emphasis on the connection between the transformation of political campaigns and the crisis of representative democracy.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 8Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of Cohen- Mansfield Agitation Inventory in Patients With Dementia(Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2012) Baştuğ, Gülbahar; Ozel-Kizil, E. Tugba; Bastug, Gulbahar; Erdogan, Seyda; Sakarya, Direnc; Durmaz, Nazli; PsikolojiIntroduction: Cohen-Mansfield Agitation Inventory (CMAI) is frequently used in patients with dementia for the assessment of agitation severity. This instrument is especially used in research investigating the severity of behavioral symptoms and their treatment responses. In this study, psychometric properties of the Turkish version of CMAI were investigated in patients with dementia (n=52). Materials and Method: CMAI-Turkish version was applied by face-to-face interview to the caregivers of dementia patients who were admitted to a geriatric psychiatry outpatient clinic. For validity, the correlations between CMAI total scores and Neuropsychiatry Inventory (NPI) total and subscale scores were evaluated. For internal consistency, Cronbach alpha value of the items was calculated. Results: CMAI scores were significantly correlated with NPI scores and Cronbach alpha value of the scale was high (0.89). Conclusion: Turkish version of CMAI is a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of the frequency and severity of agitation behavior. Further studies might evaluate inter-rater reliability of the scale in inpatients with dementia.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Reading the Emergence of Turkish Nation-State Through the Concept of Habitus(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2011) Turk, H. Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThis study aims to investigate the emergence of the nation-state in Turkey and read this process through Pierre Bourdieu and Norbert Elias' concept of habitus. In so doing, first of all, the concept of habitus will be explored. The debates concerning the process of the emergence of the nation-state in Turkey and whether the concept of habitus is fruitful will also be discussed. This study underlines the theoretical opportunities of the concept of habitus, particularly, from the angle of the debates concerning the emergence of the Turkish nation-state and Turkish nationalism. On this axis, this study shows that there is a clear link between Turkish nation-state formation and the Turkish national habitus.Article Experimental Study and Theoretical Investigation of High Temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Micro-Cogeneration Application(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2018) Yapıcı, Ekin; Devrim, Yilser; Ozgirgin Yapici, Ekin; Makine MühendisliğiIn this study, a house hold micro-cogeneration system is designed using high temperature proton exchange membrane (HTPEM) fuel cell. HTPEM type fuel cells gain the highest interest lately, due to their advantages in terms of increasing efficiency and power quality, reducing harmful emissions and flexibility of operation with respect to the other fuels. The micro-cogeneration system involves producing both electrical energy and hot water and/or vapor together in an economical way, utilizing single fuel (HTPEM fuel cells) for household applications. During the operation of the fuel cell, for high efficiency and stable power production, the access heat of the stack should be removed constantly and the temperature of the stack should be held stable. Heat recovered from the designed innovative cooling system is used for acquiring energy for heating water. This way, thermal efficiency is almost doubled compared to simple cycle. In the scope of this study, 225 W HTPEM fuel cell stack is designed and tested at 160 degrees C operation temperature with hydrogen gas and air. During operation, for homogenous distribution of temperature among the cells, for a short start up period leading to a fast required steady state temperature and for constantly removing the access heat produced in the cell, the cell stack is cooled by using a cooling fluid (Heat Transfer Oil 32- Petrol Ofisi). Selection of insulation material type and thickness for the cell stack is done using natural convection and radiation loss calculations. For the most efficient operating conditions, micro-cogeneration system water inlet and exit temperatures, water and cooling fluid flow rates, convenient pipe diameter and pump power calculations are done to finalize the design. With the cogeneration system designed during the studies, by recovering the access heat of the insulated HTPEM cell stack, district water with initial temperature of 15-20 degrees C is heated around 50 degrees C. Data gathered during studies indicate that fuel cell micro-cogeneration application is highly viable.Article Citation - WoS: 6Investigation of the Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Form of Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire(Gunes Kitabevi Ltd Sti, 2013) Ozel Kizil, Erguvan Tugba; Baştuğ, Gülbahar; Duman, Berker; Altintas, Ozge; Kirici, Sevinc; Bastug, Gulbahar; Baran, Zeynel; Altunoz, Umut; PsikolojiIntroduction: Amnestic type of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is characterized by the presence of subjective memory complaints and impairment of memory tests. This study aims to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of the Subjective Memory Complaints Questionnaire (SMCQ). Materials and Method: The study sample consisted of 45 MCI patients and 44 healthy elderly controls. The SMCQ is a 14-item, "yes-no" questionnaire which evaluates the severity of subjective memory complaints. The discriminant validity of SMCQ was evaluated by comparing the scores of the two groups. For concurrent validity, the correlations between SMCQ and two widely-used cognitive screening tests (MMSE and ADAS-Cog) were calculated. ROC analysis was performed to test the diagnostic validity. For reliability analysis, internal consistency was calculated. Results: SMCQ scores of the patients were higher than the controls. SMCQ scores of the subjects were positively correlated with ADAS-Cog and negatively correlated with MMSE scores. Cronbach's value was 0.83. ROC analysis yielded a sensitivity of 80% and a specificity of 66% (cut-off=4.5). Area under the curve was 0.843. Conclusion: SMCQ is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for the assessment of SMC in elderly patients. However, community based studies should be carried out for suggesting SMCQ as a screening tool.Article The Problem of Checking The Political Power in The Tradition of Siyasat-Nama: The Case of Nushatu's-selatin(Turkiye Orta Dogu Amme Idaresi Enstitusu, 2017) Turk, Hasan Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThe problem of how to be able to check the political power lies at the very heart of the historical debates over politics. This problem is part and parcel of another vital political problem that can be best described as the necessity of setting limits to the power of rulers. Accordingly, one might argue that checking the political power and setting limits to it are not basically and simply the same thing. This paper, moving from this assumption, attempts to shed some light upon the problem of checking the political power through the lenses of an Ottoman bureaucrat of the sixteenth century, namely, Mustafa Ali of Gallipoli. In so doing, the paper focuses on a text written by Mustafa Ali in 1581. The major argument of this paper is that Mustafa Ali's text, Nushatu'sSelatin (Advices to Sultans), which is an example of Siyasat-nama genre of books, deals with the problem of checking the political power with a particular emphasis upon three certain principles: Justice, fear of God and merit.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Ann and Anfis Performance Prediction Models for Francis Type Turbines(Turkish Soc thermal Sciences Technology, 2020) Aylı, Ülkü Ece; Ayli, Ece; Ulucak, Oguzhan; Makine MühendisliğiTurbines can be operated under partial loading conditions due to the seasonal precipitation fluctuations and due to the needed electrical demand over time. According to this partial working need, designers generate hill chart diagrams to observe the system behavior under different flow rates and head values. In order to generate a hill chart, several numerical or experimental studies have been performed at different guide vane openings and head values which are very time consuming and expensive. In this study, the efficiency prediction of Francis turbines has been performed with ANN and ANFIS methods under different operating conditions and compared with simulation results. The obtained results indicate that it is possible to obtain a hill chart using ANFIS method instead of a costly experimental or numerical tests. ANN and ANFIS parameters which effect the output, have been optimized with trying 100 different cases. 75% of the numerical data set is used for training and 25 % is used for validation as testing data. To asses and compare the performance of multiple ANN and ANFIS models several statistical indicators have been used. Insight to the performance evaluation, it is seen that ANFIS can predict the efficiency distribution with higher accuracy than the ANN model. The developed ANFIS model predicts the efficiency with 1.41% mean average percentage error and 0.999 R-2 value. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first study in the literature that ANN and ANFIS are used in order to predict the efficiency distribution of the turbines at different loading conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Institutional Change in the Turkish Film Industry (1950-2006): Social Exclusion Impact of Globalization(Ankara Haci Bayram veli Univ, 2011) Kalemci, Rabia Arzu; Kalemci, R. Arzu; Ozen, Sukru; İşletmeThis study examines the impact of globalization on the organization of production chain in the Turkish film industry. Adopting the historical institutionalist approach, the study examines the institutional change in the organization of production, distribution and exhibition chain in the Turkish film industry for the period of 1950-2006. The main finding of the study is that as a result of opening up the industry to the foreign direct investment in 1989, the organization of production chain evolves from a network structure dominated by regional distributors to a hierarchical network structure dominated by the big US film companies. Another finding is that the multiplex type of film theaters particularly located in big cities emerges as a supplementary form to the theaters with single screen that has been widespread in the previous period. This leads to an increase in the number of cities without theaters. The study emphasizes that the social exclusion manifested by increasing 'theaterlessness' is inherent within the multiplex type of film theater diffused through globalization.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Rethinking the Relationship Between Leader and Mass Through Political Theology(Ankara Haci Bayram veli Univ, 2019) Turk, H. Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkilerThis study aims to analyze the relationship between leader and mass through political theology. In so doing, the study is structured into two major sections. The first section focuses on the concept of political theology. The second section discusses the relationship between mass and leader from a historical perspective and with reference to political theory. The study argues that rethinking the relationship between mass and leader through political theology provides an opportunity to make sense of the nature of this relationship.Article A Document on the Vision of Cultural Heritage Conservation and Education in the Early Republican Period: Memorandum on How to Utilize the Antiquities and Historical Artifacts in Classes(Hacettepe Univ, 2025) Onge, MustafaPublic consciousness for the conservation of the cultural heritage had been one of the most significant problems of Turkey hitherto. The founders of the republic, the intellectuals and the statesmen, who knew that the ignorance is the major cause of this problem, proposed the use of the cultural heritage of all types in the history lessons as the course material. This practice took place in the curriculum of the schools for the first time in 1926. In order to define its method better, a guidebook with the title "The Memorandum on the Usage of Antiquities and Historical Artifacts in the Courses", is published in 1935,addressing the teachers. This guidebook, which was strangely named as "memorandum", focuses on the idea of creating heritage conservation awareness in the public by making school age teenagers understand and embrace their cultural heritage. In this context, being completely different from the present-day authoritarian attitudes, the memorandum should be accepted as a significant document, which define a conservation attitude socializing heritage conservation by public education. This document also contains the evidences, which are related to the changes in terminology for defining cultural heritage in T & uuml;rkiye, with respect to the changing attitudes and ways of understanding. Although it is not known how it had emerged, it is very probable that the memorandum was a part of the series of developments relating cultural heritage conservation in T & uuml;rkiye, during the 1930's. The memorandum text was consisting of twenty-four articles. The teachers were being instructed on how they are going to use the cultural heritage of all kinds in the courses, how they are going to make the cultural heritage meaningful for the students and make them enjoy the cultural heritage. It is noteworthy that the text contains application proposals like homework on the cultural heritage examples and establishment of school museums. Although the memorandum is an outdated document, the topics in it have timeless special importance. Therefore, the memorandum can be accepted as the expression of a cultural heritage attitude beyond its age. In this study, it is aimed to carry out extensive research on the memorandum. The memorandum is analyzed with respect to the heritage conservation related developments of its period and its importance is discussed in terms of its relation to present day conservation attitudes. In addition to being valuable as a document describing the conservation approaches of the early Republican Period, it has been revealed that the memorandum is up-to-date in terms of its content and an expression of the willing approach to conservation of its period. This study is prepared by using written and live sources.
