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 19. yüzyıl osmanlı padişahlarının müzik politikalarından kesitler(Yakındoğu Üniversitesi, 2011) N/A; Baydar, Evren Kutlay; Teaching Faculty; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AFor centuries, Turkish music has been developed in monophonic texture with its own harmonic and rhythmic rules, different than the western music system. Music took an important position in the Ottoman Court, both in education and performance practices. The Sultans were raised with a music culture. In the Ottoman Empire, music was a part of life not only in the Court but also in the Military (as in the case of janissary music); therefore a reorganization in music was encountered both in the Court and the Military. During 19th century, Ottoman Empire encountered a “Westernization process” in music (as well as in other areas). With the enterance of polyphonic western music into the Ottoman Court, beginning with Selim III, but mainly during the period of Mahmud II, a great reconstruction in the Ottoman music begins. The reformations of Mahmud II, which were the first movements of polyphony in Turkey, were a break point in the Turkish music history. In this research, the enterance and development of Western music in the Ottoman Empire is discussed based on the music politics of each Sultan in rule, chronogically. / Türk müziği, yüzyıllar boyunca, batı müziği sisteminden farklı olarak tek sesli ve kendi makam ve usulleri çerçevesinde gelişme göstermiştir. Osmanlı saraylarında müzik, gerek eğitimi gerek icrası açısından çoğunlukla büyük önem taşımış, sultanlar müzik kültürüyle iç içe büyümüşlerdir. Osmanlı’da müzik sadece sarayda değil, askeri alanda da yoğun olarak kullanılmış, dolayısıyla müziğin gelişimi saray müziğinin yanısıra bu boyutta da ağırlıklı olarak etkilenmiştir. 19. yüzyılda Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda müzikte (ve diğer alanlarda) batılılaşma eğilimi görülmektedir. Çok sesli batı müziğinin III. Selim zamanından başlayarak ve esas olarak II. Mahmud’la birlikte Osmanlı sarayına girmesiyle Osmanlı müziğinde büyük bir yeniden yapılanma başlar. II. Mahmud’un reformlarının Türk müziğinde bir dönüm noktası oluşturmasıyla ortaya çıkan hareket Türkiye’deki çok sesliliğin ilk adımlarıdır. Bu araştırmada, batı müziğinin Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’na girişi ve gelişimi süreci, II. Mahmud’dan itibaren 19. yüzyıl boyunca hükümdar olan her padişahın müzik politikaları bağlamında kronolojik sırasıyla ele alınmıştır.Publication Metadata only 50 years after the labour recruitment agreement with Germany: the consequences of emigration for Turkey(Stratejik Araştırmalar Merkezi, 2012) N/A; Department of International Relations; N/A; İçduygu, Ahmet; Faculty Member; Department of International Relations; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; 207882Turkey is a country with relatively recent and ongoing experience of labour emigration. Starting with the signing of the bilateral Turkish-West German labour recruitment agreement in October 1961, it has been a country of emigration, a trend that significantly influenced part of its economic, social, and political history. This essay elaborates the last fifty-year history of labour emigration from Turkey, and its consequences for the country in the economic, social and political spheres. It aims to sketch briefly the trends and patterns of emigration flows with reference mainly to the changing nature of these flows over time. More specifically, the essay offers an overview of the main impacts of labour migration for the country. It concludes that neither the positive nor the negative consequences of emigratory flows for the country should be overestimated.Publication Metadata only A cause of pleural effusion is familial mediterranean fever(Look Us Scientific, 2016) Chousein, Efsun Gonca Uğur; Abalı, Hülya; Öztürk, Sakine; Çağlar, Emel; N/A; İliaz, Sinem; Doctor; N/A; Koç University Hospital; N/AFamilial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent abdominal pain and fever episodes. Pleural pain and effusion can also be seen, but rarely in the absence of abdominal pain. FMF is treated with colchicine to control symptoms and to prevent amyloidosis and renal failure. A 41-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital due to recurrent fever, chest pain, and dyspnea. She had an exudative pleural effusion and responded to antibiotic therapy with partial radiographic resolution. She had recurrence of her symptoms three weeks after the completion of therapy. Pleural biopsy by video-assisted thoracoscopy revealed chronic non-specific pleuritis. The patient disclosed that two of her offspring had FMF. Gene analysis showed she was heterozygous carrier of M680I (G/C) mutation. Treatment with colchicine led to resolution of her symptoms and of the pleural effusion. Turkey has a high prevalence of FMF. Pulmonologists should consider FMF in the differential diagnosis of patients with recurrent pleural effusions. / Kırk bir yaşında kadın hasta tekrarlayan ateş, sol yan ağrısı, nefes darlığı yakınmalarıyla başvurdu. Arka-ön akciğer grafisinde solda plevral efüzyon ile uyumlu görünüm saptandı. Torasentez ile alınan plevral sıvı örnekleri eksuda özelliğinde olup nötrofil hâkimiyeti mevcuttu. Hastaya plöropnömoni tanısıyla antibiyoterapi uygulandı. Kısmi klinik ve radyolojik iyileşme ile taburcu edildi. Üç hafta sonra aynı şikâyetlerle tekrar kliniğimize müracaat etti. Hastaya Video Assisted Torakoskopi uygulandı. Biyopsi sonucu kronik nonspesifik plörit olarak geldi. Anamnez derinleştirildiğinde iki çocuğunda Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi (AAA) olduğu ve hastanın M680I (G/C) heterojen taşıyıcısı olduğu öğrenildi. Romatoloji bölümüyle konsülte edilerek hastaya oral kolşisin 0,5 mg 2x1 başlandı. Bu tedaviden sonra hastanın kliniği düzeldi, plevral sıvısı geriledi. AAA tanısı olan hastalarının %95 'inde ana yakınma abdominal ağrıdır. Abdominal ağrı olmaksızın plevral ağrı nadirdir. Plevral sıvı daha da nadirdir. Plevral efüzyonların etiyolojisini araştırırken Akdeniz bölgesinde yer alan ülkemizde, AAA’nin de plevral sıvı nedeni olabileceğini aklımızda tutmamız gerekmektedir.Publication Open Access A combined VBM and DTI study of schizophrenia: bilateral decreased insula volume and cerebral white matter disintegrity corresponding to subinsular white matter projections unlinked to clinical symptomatology(Aves, 2017) Ulaşoğlu-Yıldız, Çiğdem; Aslan, Selçuk; Talı, Erhan Turgut; N/A; N/A; Onay, Aslıhan; Eser, Hale Yapıcı; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; N/A; 134359PURPOSE: Grey matter and white matter changes within the brain are well defined in schizophrenia. However, most studies focused on either grey matter changes or white matter integrity separately; only in limited number of studies these changes were interpreted in the same frame. In addition, the relationship of these findings with clinical variables is not clearly established. Here, we aimed to investigate the grey matter and white matter changes in schizophrenia patients and exhibit the relation of these imaging findings with clinical variables. METHODS: A total of 20 schizophrenia patients and 16 matched healthy controls underwent magnetic resonance imaging to investigate the grey matter and white matter alterations that occur in schizophrenia patients using voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and whole brain voxel-wise analysis of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) parameters with SPM8, respectively. While the preprocessing steps ofVBM were performed with the default parameters of VBM8 toolbox, the preprocessing steps of DTI were carried out using FSL. Additionally, VBM results were correlated with clinical variables. RESULTS: Bilateral insula showed decreased grey matter volume in schizophrenia patients compared with healthy controls (P < 0.01). The opposite contrast did not show a significant difference. Psychiatric scores, duration of illness, and age were not correlated with the decreased grey matter volume of insula in schizophrenia patients. DTI analysis revealed a significant increase in mean, radial, and axial diffusivity, mainly of the fibers of bilateral anterior thalamic radiation and superior longitudinal fasciculus with left predominance, which intersected with bilateral subinsular white matter (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that insula may be the main affected brain region in schizophrenia, which is also well supported by the literature. Our results were independent of disease duration and schizophrenia symptoms. White matter alterations were observed within bilateral anterior thalamic radiation and superior longitudinal fasciculus that intersects with subinsular white matter. Studies with larger sample sizes and more detailed clinical assessments are required to understand the function of insula in the neurobiology of schizophrenia.Publication Metadata only A comparison between drug experimenters and non-experimenters regarding their participation to the social activities: Istanbul sample(Galenos Yayınevi, 2007) Ögel, Kültegin; Ermağan, Eda; Eke, Ceyda Y.; N/A; Taner, Sevil; Other; N/A; Koç University Counseling Service (KURES); N/AThe goal of this study was to compare drug experimenters and non-experimenters regarding their participation to the social activities among 10th grade students in Istanbul. Method: Tenth grade students in age range of 15-17 of Istanbul were recruited for the study. The study has been done in 13 vocational, 24 public and 6 private schools that have been selected from different socioeconomic levels and regions of Istanbul. Results: The most frequent social activities that 10th grade students engage in have been found to be reading newspapers (%94,2), meeting with friends (%92,8) and doing sports (%83,6) whereas pop music was the most preferred type of music. Noticably, substance-nonexperimenters were more likely to read newspapers of 1.8 times, participate in a course of 1,48 times and read extracurricular books of 1,53 times than substance-experimenters. Riding car for recreation, going out for clubs/pubs, cafes and internet-surfing, going to internet cafes, going to Taksim and music concerts, soccer games were found to be higher for substance-experimenters, compared to substance-nonexperimenters. Conclusion: Our study revealed that substance-nonexperimenters prefer goal-oriented, structured and individualistic social activities. Positive correlation was found between substance use and engagement in social activities that are out of monitoring and control, unstructured and have aim of being in crowded contexts just for spending leisure time. / Bu araştırmada amaç; İstanbul ilinde madde deneyen ve denemeyen lise iki öğrencileri arasında tercih ettikleri sosyal aktiviteler arasında bir fark olup, olmadığını araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Araştırmaya İstanbul’da 15–17 yaş grubunu kapsayan lise iki öğrencileri alınmıştır. Araştırma, İstanbul’un farklı bölgelerinden, farklı sosyoekonomik düzeye sahip 15 ilçeden seçilen 13 meslek, 24 genel, 6 özel lisede gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular: İstanbul ili lise iki öğrencilerinin en sık yaptıkları sosyal aktivitelerin gazete okuma (%94,2), bir arkadaşlarıyla buluşma (%92,8) ve spor yapma (%83,6), en çok tercih ettiği müzik türünün pop müzik olduğu görülmüştür. Madde denemeyenlerde deneyenlere göre gazete okumanın 1.8, bir kursa katılmanın 1.48, ders dışı bir kitap okumanın 1.53 kat daha yüksek olduğu dikkat çekmektedir. Madde deneyenlerde ise eğlenmek için arabayla dolaşma, eğlence mekanlarına gitme, kahveye gitme, bilgisayar oyunları oynama, internet kullanma, internet kafeye gitme, Taksim’e gitme, müzik konserlerine gitme, futbol maçına gitme oranları herhangi bir madde kullanımı olmayanlara nispeten daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Araştırmamızda, madde denemeyenlerin belli bir amaca yönelik, yapılandırılmış ve bireysel olarak gerçekleştirilen sosyal aktiviteleri tercih ettiği görülmüştür. Denetim ve kontrolden uzak, yapılandırılmamış, kalabalık ortamlarda sadece vakit geçirmek için gerçekleştirilen sosyal aktivitelere katılımın ise madde kullanan öğrenciler arasında daha yaygın olduğu gözlenmiştir.Publication Metadata only A developed information center in nursing: Library of the Koç University School of Nursing(Üniversite ve Araştırma Kütüphanecileri Derneği, 2007) N/A; Güneş, Güssün; Other; N/A; Suna Kıraç Library; 37184This paper describes the foundation and development of the Koç University School of Nursing Library. Main explanations were about the collection structure and user services provided, through which the importance of a special library for the professional development of nursing in Turkey has also been stressed upon. / Bu makalede, Koç Üniversitesi Hemşirelik Yüksek Okulu Kütüphanesi’nin kuruluşu, koleksiyon yapısı, sunulan hizmetler ve Türkiye’de hemşireliğin profesyonel gelişimi için kurulmuş bir branş kütüphanesi olarak öneminden bahsedilecektir.Publication Metadata only A gradual view of the endogenous growth model in Turkey: the quantile regression approach(Ekonomi ve Finansal Araştırmalar Derneği, 2021) Dursun, Serap; N/A; Altaylar, Merve; Master Student; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; N/AThis study aims to estimate an endogenous growth model that will allow the dynamics of the Turkish economy to be followed in the 1990-2020 period and to reveal the gradual structure of this model. The linearity behavior of the macroeconomic indicators, which are the subject of the research, was determined by the Harvey, Leybourne and Xiao (2008) test; stationarity structures were investigated in detail through ADF (1979, 1981), Lee and Strazicich (2004) and Hepsağ (2019) unit root tests and KPSS (1992) stationarity test. In order to deal with the theoretical problem of the estimated macroeconometric model, the residual augmented least squares (RALS) technique was applied in the first step. The overall inferences from this model are that R&D expenditures and export volume have an increasing effect on GDP per capita. For a more detailed and graduated view, the quantile regression technique was used and it was possible to observe the effect of endogenous growth variables on different quantiles of GDP per capita. Findings show that the effect of R&D expenditures on GDP per capita values in lower quartiles is increasing, but it is not statistically significant in the upper quartiles. It has been noted that the export volume has the opposite effect with R&D, and while there is no statistical significance on lower quartiles of GDP per capita, it has an increasing effect in the upper quartiles. Thus, while R&D expenditures are expected to accelerate the GDP per capita, exports are burdened with the acceleration effect in the transition to upper quartiles. Empirical findings provide evidence for the validity of R&D based endogenous growth and export supported growth theory. /Öz: Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ekonomisinin dinamiklerinin 1990-2020 dönemleri arasında izlenmesine olanak sağlayacak bir içsel büyüme modeli tahminlemek ve kademesel yapıyı ortaya çıkarmak amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırmaya kapsamındaki makroekonomik göstergelerin doğrusallık davranışları Harvey, Leybourne ve Xiao (2008) testiyle; durağanlık yapıları ise ADF (1979, 1981), Lee ve Strazicich (2004) ve Hepsağ (2019) birim kök testleri ve KPSS (1992) durağanlık testi aracılığıyla ayrıntılı bir şekilde araştırılmıştır. Tahminlenen makroekonometrik modelin teorik problemlerinin üstesinden gelmek amacıyla ilk aşamada RALS tekniğine başvurulmuştur. Bu modelden sağlanan bütünsel çıkarımlar Ar-Ge harcamaları ve ihracat hacminin Kişi Başı GSYİH üzerinde arttırıcı etkisi olduğu yönündedir. Daha ayrıntılı ve kademeli bir bakış için ise kantil regresyon yaklaşımından faydalanılmış ve böylelikle içsel büyüme değişkenlerinin, Kişi Başı GSYİH’nin farklı kantilleri üzerindeki etkisini gözlemlemeye olanak sağlanmıştır. Bulgular, Ar-Ge harcamalarının, düşük kantillerde Kişi Başı GSYİH değerleri üzerindeki etkisinin giderek arttığını ancak yüksek kantiller üzerinde istatistiki bir anlamlılığı olmadığını göstermektedir. İhracat hacminin ise Ar-Ge ile tam tersi bir etki alanı olduğu, Kişi Başı GSYİH’nin düşük kantilleri üzerinde istatistiki bir anlamlılığı bulunmazken yüksek kantiller üzerinde arttırıcı bir etkisi olduğu kaydedilmiştir. Böylelikle Ar-Ge harcamalarının, Kişi Başı GSYİH’ye ivme kazandırması beklenirken yüksek kantillere geçişte hızlandırma etkisini ihracat yüklenmektedir. Ampirik bulgular Ar-Ge'ye dayalı içsel büyüme ve ihracattan beslenen büyüme teorisinin geçerliliğine ilişkin kanıtlar sunmaktadır.Publication Metadata only A new and simple technique for vagal ganglia ablation in a patient with functional atrioventricular block: electroanatomical approach(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2018) Aksu, Tolga; Guler, Tumer Erdem; Yalin, Kivanc; Bozyel, Serdar; N/A; Mutluer, Ferit Onur; Faculty Member; School of Medicine; Koç University Hospital; N/AIncreased parasympathetic tone may cause symptomatic functional atrioventricular block (AVB) and necessitate pacemaker implantation. In these patients, where there is no structural damage to the conduction system, removal of the vagal activity using radiofrequency ablation seems to be a theoretically rational approach. Several methods have been used to determine suitable areas for vagal ganglia ablation. The aim of this report was to describe a new method to detect parasympathetic innervation sites without the need to use additional equipment or extend procedure time. A 51-year-old man was referred to the clinic for implantation of a permanent pacemaker because of symptomatic second-degree AVB and recurrent syncope. The functional nature of the AVB and a supra-Hisian location were verified with standard electrocardiography, Holter recordings, atropine sulfate test, and a standard electrophysiological study. Using conventional recordings, the electrograms were divided into 3 subgroups and sites demonstrating a fractionated pattern were targeted. All of the fractionated electrogram sites considered suitable for usual ganglion settlement were ablated. Biatrial ablation was initiated from the left atrial side. During left atrial ablation, the intrinsic basic cycle length of sinus node accelerated to 800 milliseconds despite AVB persistence. Subsequently, 1:1 atrioventricular conduction was achieved when ablation was applied around the coronary sinus ostium. The patient was completely asymptomatic, experiencing no episodes of dizziness or syncope, and was taking no medications at the end of 9 months of follow-up. In conclusion, electroanatomically guided vagal ganglia ablation may be a good alternative to pacemaker implantation in well-selected patients with functional AVB.Publication Metadata only A new technique for the surgical treatment of atlantoaxial instability: C1 lateral mass and C2-3 transfacet screwing(Turkish Neurosurgical Soc, 2018) N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; Şentürk, Salim; Akyoldaş, Göktuğ; Yaman, Onur; Özer, Ali Fahir; Doctor; Faculty Member; Doctor; Faculty Member; N/A; School of Medicine; N/A; School of Medicine; Koç University Hospital; N/A; Koç University Hospital; N/A; 203677; 219524; 1022Atlantoaxial instability is a special entity that may be caused by many disorders such as trauma, tumor, arthritis, congenital malformation and infection. Atlantoaxial fixation is needed to provide stability, prevent neurological deficits and correct deformity. The aim of this report is to introduce an alternative technique for the treatment of atlantoaxial instability in patients who have vertebral artery anomaly, anomalous C2 or osteoporosis. C1-2-3 fixation was performed in a 50-year-old male patient with atlantoaxial instability due to os odontoideum. C1 lateral masses were identified and screw placement was performed. C2 facet joints were identified bilaterally. The superior margin of the junction of pedicle and the lamina was used as the entry point and 3.5x22 mm screws were inserted from C2 facet joint to the C3 facet joint in the mediolateral and craniocaudal direction under fluoroscopic guidance with caution. The posterior fixation screws were interconnected with two rods. Finally, autologous grafts were placed posterolaterally to encourage the fusion. The patient"s complaints were relieved after the surgery. C1-C2 instability was not seen in the postoperative radiological examinations. In the surgical treatment of C1-2 instability, our technique could help reduce the possibility of vertebral artery injury in patients who have a vertebral artery course anomaly or when it is difficult to place C2 pedicle screws due to anomalous C2 pedicles and osteoporosis. High fusion rate could be achieved with this technique due to passing through the four cortical surfaces. No wire or allograft was required. Thus, the instrumentation cost could be reduced.
