The Mediating Effect of Workaholism in the Relationship between Teacher and Principal Behaviours Related to School Climate and Organizational Commitment
It was aimed to determine the mediating effect of workaholism in the relationship between teacher and principalbehaviours related to school climate and organizational commitment in this study. The study was designed throughcorrelational survey method. Organizational Climate Scale, DUWAS (Dutch Work Addiction Scale), Meyer andAllen Organizational Commitment Scale were used as data collection tools. 266 teachers working at primary andsecondary schools in Kütahya Province created the sample of the study. In accordance with the aim of the study,different measurement models were set and tested by structural equation modelling. In terms of the findings, thetests of only two models are successful. It is statistically proved that workaholism has a mediating effect only in therelationships between supportive principal behaviour and normative and continuance commitment dimensions oforganizational commitment. The positive relationship between supportive principal behaviour and organizationalclimate strengthens with the workaholic behaviours the teachers experience. In other words, workaholic teachersare more committed to their organizations in which the supportive principal behaviours are observed in comparisonwith their colleagues. However, any mediating effect of workaholism cannot be found in the relationships betweendirective principal behaviour, restrictive principal behaviour, collegial teacher behaviour, intimate teacher behaviour,disengaged teacher behaviour and organizational commitment
Konodontlar ile Toroslarda Mississipiyen kat sınırları : istatiksel analiz, taksonomy ve biyostratigrafi
Conodonts are important biostratigraphic tools for the delineation and calibration of the geochronological boundaries within the Carboniferous and used generally as stage-boundary markers for the Lower Carboniferous (Mississippian). The studied successions in the Central and Eastern Taurides were mainly deposited in a shallow marine environment during the Carboniferous time and they comprise less abundant and diversified conodont fauna. The conodont fauna represented by twenty-four species belonging to ten genera have been described from the studied sections (AS; AAO; BSE and HB) in the Taurides (Turkey). Regarding the first occurrences and last occurrences of biostratigraphically significant species within these sections, the following zones have been established across the Lower Carboniferous successions: (1) Polygnathus inornatus Zone (Hastarian-Lower Tournaisian); (2) Gnathodus cuneiformis – Polygnathus communis communis Zone (Ivorian-Upper Tournaisian); (3) Polygnathus mehli mehli Zone (Ivorian-Upper Tournaisian); (4) Gnathodus girtyi girtyi Zone (Brigantian-Upper Visean); (5) Gnathodus girtyi simplex Zone (Pendelian-Lower Serpukhovian); (6) Rhachistognathus muricatus Zone (Zapaltyubinsky-Upper Serpukhovian) and (7) Declinognathodus inaequalis - Declinognathodus noduliferus Zone (Bogdanovsky-Lower Bashkirian). Based on the recovered conodont assemblages, Visean - Serpukhovian boundary has been recognized by the first occurrence of Gnathodus girtyi simplex and the Mid-Carboniferous boundary is delineated by the first occurrence of Declinognathodus inaequalis, which is an index taxon for the basal part of the Bashkirian. Based on the microfacies studies it can be concluded that conodont elements essentially obtained from the crinoidal bioclastic packstone-grainstone, crinoidal packstone-grainstone, coated bioclastic grainstone, intraclastic grainstone and spiculite packstone facies in the studied sections. It can be concluded that that the occurrence of abundant crinoids are indicative criteria for the presence of conodonts. Additionally, geometric morphometric analyses of biostratigraphically important genus, Gnathodus, on the basis of data available in the literature emphasize the importance of numerical taxonomy and reveal that taxonomic revision of this genus is needed.Ph.D. - Doctoral Progra
Students' achievement goals and underlying reasons : their relation to intrinsic motivation and cheating
Ankara : The Graduate School of Education of Bilkent University, 2014.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2014.Includes bibliographical references leaves 61-66.Using an experimental design, this study investigated the causal-effect relationship
of achievement goals (AGs) and their underlying reasons (goal complexes) on
students’ intrinsic motivation and cheating behaviour. The design included giving
participants a specific task under experimental conditions. Additionally, a crosssectional
design was used to examine the relationship between the outcomes of a
given task and the endorsed goal complexes students have for their classes. The
study population included 219 students who participated voluntarily; they were from
an English Language Preparatory Program at a private non-profit university in
Ankara, Turkey. Seven experimental conditions were induced to the participants
through a given spatial task. The seven conditions randomly assigned to the students
consisted of three different AGs (i.e., an intrapersonal-approach goal, an
intrapersonal-avoidance goal, and a performance approach goal) along with two
motivational styles (i.e., autonomous and controlling), as well as a control (neither
goal nor reason given). In addition to the experiment, a survey was administrated to
assess students’ endorsed AGs and their underlying reasons (autonomous or controlling) for their English classes. The manipulation checks for the analysis
revealed that the experimental conditions were not successful; more specifically,
students were not induced to endorse their randomly assigned goal and reason.
Moreover, very few students cheated during the task. The survey results indicated
that during task engagement, autonomously-regulated AGs predict intrinsic
motivations, and control-regulated AGs promote a sense of pressure. One key
finding of this study was that while students who have controlling reasons behind
their AGs for an educational class tend to have controlling reasons for a specific task,
which was not found among students with autonomous reasons. Finally,
recommendations to improve the experimental design and implications of the results
for education and teaching practices are discussed.Özdemir, AyşeM.S
Procjena linter celuloze kao alternativne sirovine za proizvodnju upijajućeg papira
The study was carried out to evaluate Linter Cellulose (LC) as an alternative raw material for tissue paper production. Since LC is generally dark brown in color, it must be bleached before being used in tissue paper production. Bleaching process was applied to LC after impurities and oils were removed. LC was bleached in 9 different conditions with sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). The optical and physical properties of LC were measured in accordance with relevance standards in order to determine optimum bleaching condition. The best results in the optical properties were obtained by bleaching with 12 % NaClO. The whiteness, brightness, and yellowness values were found as 67.54, 64.39, and 6.20, respectively. The physical properties of bleached LC were not suitable for tissue paper production. For this reason, LC and wood fi bers (WF) were mixed at certain rates to produce tissue paper. The physical and optical properties of the paper obtained from the mixtures were analyzed to determine the optimum mixing ratio. The results showed that 40 % LC and 60 % WF mixtures can be used in tissue paper products. The important physical properties for tissue paper were Water Retention Value(WRV) and Water Absorption Time (WAT) and these values were found as 293.6 g·m-2 and 1.67 s. WRV and WAT of LC were found to be better than those of WF (267 g·m-2 and 2.62 s). As a result, when considering the shortage of pulp and paper raw material, the use of LC in tissue paper production would contribute signifi cantly to procuring the raw material and providing economic production.Istraživanje je provedeno radi procjene linter celuloze (LC) kao alternativne sirovine za proizvodnju upijajućeg papira. Budući da je LC tamnosmeđe boje, prije uporabe za proizvodnju upijajućeg papira potrebno ga je izbijeliti. Procesi izbjeljivanja LC-a primijenjeni su nakonuklanjanja nečistoća i ulja. LC je izbijeljen natrijevim hipokloridom (NaClO) pri devet različitih uvjeta. Izmjerena su optička i fizikalna svojstva LC-a u skladu s odgovarajućim standardima kako bi se odredili optimalni uvjeti izbjeljivanja. Najbolji rezultati optičkih svojstava dobiveni su izbjeljivanjem 12-postotnim NaClO. Vrijednost bjeline iznosila je 67,54 %, sjajnosti 64,39 % i žutila 6,20 %. Fizikalna svojstva izbijeljenog LC-a nisu prikladna za proizvodnju upijajućeg papira. Stoga je LC pomiješan s drvnim vlakancima (WF) u određenom omjeru kako bi se dobila sirovina prikladna za proizvodnju upijajućeg papira. Fizikalna i optička svojstva papira proizvedenoga od pripremljene smjese analizirana su radi određivanja optimalnog omjera miješanja LC-a i WF-a. Rezultati su pokazali da je smjesa od 40 % LC-a i 60 %WF-a može upotrebljavati za izradu proizvoda od upijajućeg papira. Važna fizikalna svojstva upijajućeg papira jesu sposobnost zadržavanja vode (WRV) i vrijeme upijanja vode (WAT). Za proizvedeni upijajući papir izmjerena je vrijednost WRV-a od 293,6 g·m-2 i WAT-a od 1,67 s. Utvrđeno je da su vrijednosti WRV-a i WAT-a za LC bolje nego vrijednosti za WF (267 g·m-2 i 2,62 s). Kada se uzme u obzir nedostatak sirovine za proizvodnju celuloze i papira, može se reći da bi upotreba LC-a za proizvodnju upijajućeg papira mogla znatno pridonijeti lakšoj nabavi sirovina i ekonomičnosti proizvodnje
Karakterizacija pulpe i papira izrađenih od stabljika bamije (Abelmoschus esculentus)
In this study, the usability of okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) stalks in pulp and paper production was investigated. Firstly, chemical components and fiber morphological properties were determined to investigate the suitability of okra stalks for pulp and paper production. Holocellulose, cellulose and lignin contents were found as 76.1 %, 46.4 % and 16.0 %, respectively and the fiber length, fiber width and cell wall thickness were measured as 0.64 mm, 16.97 μm and 3.66 μm, respectively. According to these data, it has been determined that okra stalks are suitable for pulp and paper production. Four different cooking experiments were carried out by adding sodium borohydride (NaBH4) in different proportions (0 %, 0.3 %, 0.5 %, 0.7 %) to okra stalks by the alkali sulfite method. The yield, chemical, physical and optical properties of the pulps were determined and optimum properties were obtained from the cooking experiment by adding up to 0.7 % NaBH4 into cooking liquor. With the addition of 0.7 % NaBH4, pulp yield, breaking length, and burst index increased about 7.73 %, 3.84 %, and 11 %, respectively. Consequently, it has been concluded that pulp produced from okra stalks can be used in the paper industry by blending with long or recycled fibers in certain proportions.U ovom je radu istraživana upotrebljivost stabljika bamije (Abelmoschus esculentus) za proizvodnju celuloze i papira. Radi ispitivanja prikladnosti stabljika bamije za proizvodnju celuloze i papira, najprije su određeni udjeli kemijskih komponenata i morfološka svojstva vlakana. Utvrđeni udjeli holoceluloze, celuloze i lignina iznosili su 76,1 %, 46,4 % i 16,0 %. Duljina vlakana, širina vlakana i debljina stanične stijenke bili su 0,64 mm, 16,97 μm i 3,66 μm. Prema tim podatcima utvrđeno je da je stabljika bamije pogodna za proizvodnju celuloze i papira. Zatim su provedena četiri različita pokusa kuhanja alkalno sulfitnim postupkom, uz varijabilni dodatak natrijeva borhidrida (NaBH4): 0 %; 0,3 %; 0,5 %; 0,7 % s obzirom na količinu stabljika bamije. Određeni su prinos pulpe, njezina kemijska, fizikalna i optička svojstva te su postignuta optimalna svojstva pulpe u procesu kuhanja uz dodatak 0,7 % NaBH4 smjesi kemikalija za kuhanje (bijeli lug). Uz dodatak 0,7 % NaBH4, prinos pulpe, duljina loma i indeks pucanja papira izrađenoga od vlakana bamije povećali su se za oko 7,73 %, 3,84 %, odnosno 11 %. Posljedično, zaključeno je da se pulpa proizvedena od stabljika bamije može upotrebljavati u industriji papira u određenim omjerima pomiješana s dugim ili recikliranim vlaknima

Ante Rosa As An Anti-Bildungsroman
DergiPark: 449042trakyasobedSevgi Soysal’s Tante Rosa which is regarded as a collection of stories by some critics and is considered a short novel by the others has been published serially in Dost magazine (1966-68). Writer created Rosa who based on her aunt Rosa and is antagonist of her book which consists of fourteen related stories. According to our opinion, this work is a kind of bildungsroman differentiating from usual bildungsromans. It is a genre firstly appeared in German literature and we name it also “development novel” dealing with subjects such as material and spiritual elements which contribute to antagonist’s development, the stages which have been experinced by him/her and the ideal personality he/she has eventually reached. At the centre of the novel, there is a story based upon a development process. Writer handles Rosa who has an unusual personality and a life with full of failure in this novel and the process of turning into an adult in Tante Rosa occurs in contrast to similar novels. While the character is expected to obey the society and its rules in bildungsromans, Rosa has difficulty in adapting herself to society and defies it instead of being a part of it. In the work of Soysal the consecutive events which have been experienced by a person in his/her whole life is treated but these events and negative/positive experiences do not carry to him/her an ideal point. On the contrary Rosa always attacks the ideal concept and sometimes subverts it with colorful scenes. Rosa never reaches an ideal point and turns into a “completed personality”, an “adult who found the meaning of life.” It would not be wrong to name her as an anti-hero. Moreover, although the novel includes a “development story” it hasn’t been fictionalized in accord with the typical features of genre. This work may be regarded as a parody or a kind of “anti-bildungsroman”. In this article, possibilities of how Sevgi Soysal’s Tante Rosa could be read as an “anti-bildungsroman” will be discussed on the basis of these assumptions.Sevgi Soysal’ın bazı eleştirmenlerce öykü kitabı bazı eleştirmenlerce öyküler toplamı ve kısa roman olarak değerlendirilen Tante Rosa isimli eseri, 1966-68 yılları arasında seri yazılar hâlinde Dost dergisinde yayımlanır. Yazar, birbiriyle ilintili on dört öyküden oluşan kitabın kahramanı Tante Rosa’yı, teyzesi Rosel’in kişiliğinden yola çıkarak yaratmıştır. Bu eser, kanaatimizce alışılmış olandan farklı bir “bildungsroman”dır. Alman edebiyatının bir roman çeşidi olan ve “oluşum” romanı olarak adlandırabileceğimiz bildungsroman, kahramanın oluşumuna etkisi olan maddi ve manevi unsurları, geçirdiği aşamaları, sonunda ulaştığı ideal durumu/kişiliği konu edinir. Romanın merkezinde gelişim ya da oluşum eksenli bir öykü vardır. Tante Rosa’da ise yazar, sıra dışı bir kişiliğe sahip olan Rosa’nın başarısızlıklarla dolu hayatını ele alır, olgunlaşma bu eserde bir anlamda tersine işler. Bildungsromanda kahramanın yaşadığı topluma ve onun kurallarına uyum sağlaması beklenirken, yaşadığı topluma ayak uyduramayan Rosa, toplumun bir parçası olmaktan ziyade, toplumu hayatı boyunca karşısına almıştır. Soysal’ın eserinde de bir karakterin hayat çizgisi boyunca geçirdiği zincirleme aşamalar söz konusudur; ancak bu aşamalar ve yaşanan olumlu/olumsuz deneyimlerin Rosa’yı ideal bir noktaya taşıması umulurken; sürekli “ideal” kavramını gerileten, kimi zaman yıkan ve karşıtı olan renkli bir tablo sunulur. Rosa, beklenen ideal noktasına ulaşamadığı gibi, bu roman türünü belirleyen “tamamlanmış kişilik”, “yetişkin ve hayatın anlamını kavramış insan tipi”ne de dönüşemez. Ona bir “anti-kahraman” demek çok yanlış olmaz. Üstelik her ne kadar romanın merkezinde bir “gelişim öyküsü” bulunsa da bu alışılmış kalıplara uygun şekilde kurgulanmamıştır. Bu eseri, bir anlamda bir parodi ya da tersine “bildungsroman” olarak görmek mümkündür. Bahsi geçen varsayımlardan hareket edilerek bu yazıda, Sevgi Soysal’ın Tante Rosa isimli eserinin tersine bir bildungsroman örneği olarak okunabilirliğinin imkânları tartışılacaktır
An Intertextual Journey to the Early Times of Mankind and Creation in Modern Turkish Novels: The Re-interpretings of the Adam and Eve Parable
Rabb’in sözünün insanlara aktarımının somutlaşmış biçimi olan kutsal metinler, edebiyatın birçok şubesinin ve diğer sanatların, yüzyıllardan beri önemli kaynakları arasındadır. Özellikle Batı edebiyatının ve kültürünün oluşmasında İncil’in tesiri çok büyüktür. Benzer şekilde Kur’an-ı Kerim hem klasik Türk edebiyatı hem de halk edebiyatı ürünlerinin büyük çoğunluğuna nüfuz etmiş; onları içerik ve kurgu noktasında beslemiştir. Kur’an’dan kişiler, olaylar, ibret verici kıssalar, yol gösterici ve doğruluğu telkin eden ayetler çıkış noktası yapılarak oluşturulan hikâyeler, Türk edebiyatındaki birçok klasik ve modern eserin içeriğini zenginleştirmiştir. Modernleşme ve sonrasında gelişen süreçte ise kutsal metinler zengin bir kaynak olarak romana ve diğer anlatı türlerine sirayet etmeyi, onları beslemeyi sürdürmüştür.Özellikle postmodernizmden sonra, kutsal metinlere yönelim, anlatı türlerine farklı şekillerde yansır. Postmodernizmle ilişkilendirilen ve aşağı yukarı onunla aynı zamanda (1960’lar sonrası) çıktığı üzerinde fikir birliği olan metinlerarasılık kuramı, roman yazma pratiğini benzer şekilde zenginleştiren bir teknik açılım sunar. Postmodernizmin çoğulculuk anlayışı ve her türlü farklılığı yok sayan eşitleyici tutumu özellikle geleneksel anlatılara, kutsal metinlere kucak açar. Parodi, pastiş, yeniden-yazma gibi metinlerarası tekniklerle geleneksel ve dinî metinler romanın çok katmanlı kurgusuna dâhil edilir ve çoğulculuk anlayışının sergilenmesinin bir yöntemi olur. Bundan dolayı bu makalede kuramın bilinçli bir şekilde kullanılmaya başlandığı 1970 sonrasındaki Türk romanlarının kutsal metinleri dokularına, kurgu ve içeriklerine nasıl sindirdiği Âdem ile Havva kıssası üzerinden irdelenecektir.The sacred texts, which are the embodiment of the transmission of the word of the Lord to people, have been among the important sources of many branches of literature and other arts for centuries. Especially the influence of the Bible on the formation of Western literature and culture is immense. Similarly, the Quran has influenced the majority of both classical Turkish literature and folk literature; it has supported them at the point of content and structure. Stories based on people from the Quran, events, exemplary tales and the verses that are guiding and suggesting truth enriched the content of many classical and modern works in Turkish literature. In the period of modernisation and its aftermath, sacred texts continued to intermingle and feed the novel and other narrative genres as a rich resource.Especially after postmodernism, the interest in sacred texts is displayed in different ways in narrative forms. The intertextuality theory, as usually accepted, which is associated and concurrent with postmodernism (around the 1960s), offered technical possibilities that enriched the novelism too. Postmodernism’s understanding of pluralism and its equalizing attitude that ignoring all kinds of differences especially embraces traditional narratives and scriptures. Traditional and religious texts are included in multi-layered structure of novel and become a method of displaying the pluralism through the intertextual techniques such as parody, pastiche and rewriting. So in this study, how the Turkish novel absorbed the sacred texts into its textures, structures and contents will be examined in the context of the Adam and Eve parable, especially after 1970s when the intertextuality started to be used as an intentional way
