Publication Metadata only “And in the soup kitchen food shall be cooked twice every day”: gustatory aspects of Ottoman mosque complexes(Taylor and Francis, 2016) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Ergin, Nina Macaraig; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and HumanitiesN/AItem Metadata only “At Least, at the border, i am killing myself by my own will”: migration aspirations and risk perceptions among Syrian and Afghan communities(Routledge Journals, Taylor and Francis Ltd, 2023) 0000-0002-1498-0025; 0000-0002-9426-428X; Department of International Relations; N/A; Önay, Ayşen Ezgi Üstübici; Taşan, Eda Kirişçioğlu; Faculty Member; PhD Student; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 238439; N/AIt is well-documented that border controls make migration journeys riskier for people on the move. Policymakers construe deaths in migration journeys as resulting from the individual risk-taking attitudes of migrants. However, risks involved in migration journeys are not only related to border control measures. Based on the analysis of 30 semi-structured interviews conducted with Syrian and Afghan migrants in Turkey, we embrace a social constructionist approach to unpack how migrants form their aspirations based on their risk perceptions. Our findings explain why some migrants would still move onwards despite violent borders while others stay or search for "safer" ways for onward migration.Publication Metadata only “Beware the young doctor and the old barber”: development and validation of a job age-type spectrum(Elsevier, 2021) Reeves, Michael Dennis; Fritzsche, Barbara Ann; Smith, Nicholas Anthony; Ng, Yin Lu; Department of Business Administration; Department of Business Administration; Marcus, Justin; Faculty Member; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 124653Taking a worker-centric approach, with evidence based on the experiences of working individuals, the current study examines the age-related stereotypes of jobs, the characteristics of age-stereotyped jobs, and the consequences of occupying them. In Study 1, we utilize samples of working adults from the US, Turkey, and Malaysia to establish validation evidence for a spectrum of 160 jobs (n = 123 raters per job). Study 1 findings indicate that entry-level jobs and jobs requiring manual labor or the use of technology are younger-typed, whereas senior level jobs and jobs requiring large investments in training or education are older-typed. The age-typing of jobs was found to be similar across countries for the vast majority of jobs. We then provide criterion validity evidence in Study 2, by testing the interactive effects of chronological age, job age-type, and sex on psychological age and perceived age and sex discrimination across samples of workers from these same three countries (n = 1469). Results upheld theoretical predictions based upon career timetables theory, prototype matching theory, and intersectional salience of ageism theory. The interactive effects of chronological age and job age-type were stronger for women than for men; the hypothesized patterns of effects were overall consistent for women but not for men.Publication Metadata only “Das recht auf vergessen" im rahmen des schutzes personenbezogener daten und die beurteilung in bezug auf die Türkei(İstanbul Kültür Üniversitesi, 2017) N/A; N/A; Önok, Rıfat Murat; Faculty Member; Law School; 178418Das “Recht auf Vergessen” hat in den letzten Jahren in der internationalen Literatur an Popularität gewonnen. Die Zahl der wissenschaftlichen Studien zu diesem Thema nimmt rasch zu. Wir sind jedoch weit entfernt davon, einen Konsens in der Lehre über die Grundlage dieses Rechts, sein Zweck und noch wichtiger über sein Inhalt und Umfang zu erzielen. Nach der Google-Entscheidung des EuGH, das hinsichtlich der Existenz (oder Nichtexistenz) eines solchen Rechts eine neue Dimension aufwirft und in Bezug auf Individuen an Bedeutung gewinnt, ist es nunmehr notwendig, das Recht auf Vergessen unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Es fällt auf, dass auch der “Yargıtay” damit begonnen hat, dieses Recht in seinen Entscheidungen zu nennen. In diesem Zusammenhang werden in diesem Aufsatz die Begriffsbestimmung, streitige Fragen in Bezug auf den Inhalt dieses Rechts, die Verbindung und Folgen der Google-Entscheidung mit diesem Recht, sowohl theoretische als auch praktische Fragen, die sich aus dem EUGH-Urteil und der Umsetzung eines solchen Rechts ergeben können, sowie eine Reihe von Fragen, die sich im Zusammenhang mit diesem Recht für die Türkei ergeben können untersucht. / Son yıllarda uluslararası literatürde popülarite kazanan kavramlardan biri“unutulma hakkı”dır. Konuya dair akademik çalışmaların sayısı hızla artmakla birlikte;hakkın dayanağı, hizmet ettiği amacı ve daha da önemlisi, tam içeriği ve kapsamı hakkın-da doktrinde görüş birliği sağlanmasına henüz uzağız. Buna rağmen, böyle bir hakkınvarlığının (veya yokluğunun) bireyler açısından önemi ve konuya yeni bir boyut kazandı-ran, Avrupa Birliği Adalet Divanı’nın Google kararı sonrasında, unutulma hakkının irde-lenmesi zorunluluk arz etmektedir. Yargıtay’ımızın da kararlarında kavrama yer vermeyebaşladığı dikkati çekmektedir. Bu bağlamda, çalışmada; kavramın tanımı, içeriğine dairtartışmalı hususlar, Google kararının bu hakla bağlantısı ve sonuçları, gerek ABAD kara-rından gerekse böyle bir hakkın uygulanmasından kaynaklanabilecek teorik ve pratiksorunlar, Türkiye açısından bu hakla bağlantılı birtakım meseleler incelenmiştir.Publication Metadata only “Do you feel like becoming a leader?” Emotions and the likelihood of self-nomination for leadership(Elsevier Inc., 2022) Department of Psychology; N/A; Department of Psychology; Aycan, Zeynep; Shelia, Salome; Faculty Member; PhD Student; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 5798; N/AN/AItem Metadata only “Do you feel like becoming a leader?” emotions and the likelihood of self-nomination for leadership(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) 0000-0003-4784-334X; Shelia, Salome; Department of Psychology; Aycan, Zeynep; Faculty Member; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 5798Publication Metadata only “Doing What Matters in Times of Stress” to decrease psychological distress during Covid-19: a rammed controlled pilot trial(Wolters Kluwer Medknow Publications, 2022) Uygun, Ersin; Karaoğlan Kahiloğulları, Akfer; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; N/A; Department of Psychology; Acartürk, Ceren; Kurt, Gülşah; İlkkurşun, Zeynep; Faculty Member; Teaching Faculty; Master Student; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 39271; 368619; N/ADespite the increasing psychological distress during Covid-19, utilisation of face-to-face psychological interventions decreased profoundly. The aim of this study involving two parallel, two-armed pilot randomised controlled trials was to examine the effectiveness of a guided self-help intervention "Doing What Matters in Times of Stress" (DWM) in decreasing psychological distress in Turkish and Syrian participants. Seventy-four Turkish nationals and 50 Syrian refugee adults with psychological distress were randomly allocated to a DWM group or wait-list control group. The primary outcome measure was the Patient Health Questionnaire 9 postintervention. Secondary outcome measures were the Generalised Anxiety Disorder Scale, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Checklist for DSM-5, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale and Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II postintervention. Although this study was not powered to detect a significant effect for DWM postassessment between DWM and the control group, results showed a significant improvement in depression symptoms among Turkish participants in the DWM group (d = 0.46) and in PTSD symptoms among Syrian participants in the DWM group (d = 0.67) from pre- to postintervention assessment. These results indicate the potential of DWM to decrease mental health problems during the pandemic and importance of a fully powered, definitive controlled trial to examine its effectiveness both for the host community and refugees to reduce psychological distress during Covid-19.Item Metadata only "My friend diabetes carbohydrate-bolus calculator": User experiences of a bolus calculating carbohydrate counting mobile app for people with Type 1 Diabetes(Via Medica, 2023) 0000-0002-8552-5206; 0000-0003-3781-3892; 0000-0001-6312-6004; 0000-0002-8889-6811; N/A; 0000-0003-3919-7763; 0000-0003-1633-9570; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; Karakuş, Kağan Ege; Gökçe, Tuğba; Can, Ecem; Eviz, Elif; Muradoğlu, Serra Küpçüoğlu; Mutlu, Rahime Gül Yeşiltepe; Hatun, Şükrü; Undergraduate Student; Doctor; Nurse; Researcher; Doctor; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; N/A; N/A; School of Medicine; N/A; School of Medicine; School of Medicine; Koç University Hospital; N/A; N/A; N/A; 327618; N/A; 153511; 153504Objective: Meal management in Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) has barriers such as miscalculation of doses, insuffi- cient carbohydrate counting and numeracy skills. "My Friend Diabetes Carbohydrate Bolus Calculator" mobile app was developed as a hybrid version of nutrition apps and insulin titration apps to calculate meal's carbs and the matching bolus dose. This study investigates facilitator role of the app on lives of people with T1D. Materials and methods: People with T1D or their car-egivers were recruited from children diabetes foun-dation social media accounts, and they answered an online survey which examines the effects of the app on carbohydrate counting, diabetes management, and the usability of the app with 17 Likert-type questions (5-point). Descriptive and non-parametric tests were performed to analyze responses.Results: Of the 165 people who completed the survey, 58 (35.2%) had T1D, 107 (64.8%) had relatives with T1D; 87 (52.7%) participants were female, the mean age was 13.1 +/- 8.9 years, and the mean duration of dia-betes was 4.72 years. Of the participants, 130 used the app and agreed that the app improved the users' meal management, diabetes management, carbohydrate, and dose calculations (Mean score = 4.38 +/- 0.57). They were more confident in the dose calculation, freer in the food choices, and more confident in diabetes care because of the app (Mean score = 4.46 +/- 0.57). Conclusions: ''My Friend Diabetes Carbohydrate-Bolus Calculator" mobile app improved T1D management. Diabetes teams can reach more people through mobile apps and improve their clinical outcomes.

This phenomenon, which is referred to as “O/F shift”, leads to a reduction in motor performance. Note that liquid or solid rocket motors are not subject to temporal O/F variations, which is wrongfully considered as one of the most critical disadvantages of hybrid rockets. In this paper, the effect of “O/F shift” is quantified for hybrid rocket motors. Analytical formulas for the temporal O/F variation and the overall c* efficiency drop associated with the variation has been derived for single circular port motors. It has been shown that for a typical motor, c* efficiency drop due to O/F variation is well below 0.2%, a value which is too small to be measured in an actual motor test. It is also shown that for a wagon wheel type multiport configuration (with triangular ports), efficiency drop is significantly worse than the single circular port case. Even for the multiport systems, the shift does not have a controlling effect on the overall efficiency of the motor. A number of strategies have been outlined to control the adverse effects of O/F variation in a hybrid rocket. For a single circular port design with limited throttling, no mitigation is required. For systems with deep throttling requirements, aft oxidizer injection seems like a viable strategy to retain a high level of overall efficiency.Item Metadata only "Oh no, they caught it!": vicarious experience of COVID-19, protection motivation and protective behaviors(Sage Publications Ltd, 2023) 0000-0002-0886-7982; 0000-0002-2797-242X; 0000-0003-3550-9918; N/A; Department of Psychology; Department of Psychology; N/A; N/A; Cemalcılar, Zeynep; Lemi, Baruh; Özden, Mehmet; Elazab, Khaled; Faculty Member; Faculty Member; Master Student; Master Student; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 40374; 36113; N/A; N/AUtilizing the components of the protection motivation theory, this study investigated the role of close others' diagnosis of COVID-19 (as a vicarious experience) in individuals' adherence to protective behavior against COVID-19. Path analysis of online survey data from 3695 participants showed that the presence of a diagnosed close other was positively related to perceived vulnerability, while being negatively related to perceived response efficacy and self-efficacy. In addition, perceived severity and efficacy appraisals were positively associated with protective behavioral tendencies. Although efficacy appraisal mediated the relationship between vicarious experience and protective behavior, threat appraisal did not mediate this relationship. In sum, the results suggest that efficacy appraisal derived from vicarious experiences can be more consequential for protective behaviors than threat appraisal. Implications of these results on future large-scale health crises are discussed along with limitations and future directions.
