Phoenix theophrasti Greuter türünün Türkiye’de tanımlanan yeni bir alttürü (Phoenix theophrasti Greuter subsp. golkoyana Boydak)

In the present study, a new subspecies (Phoenix theophrasti Greuter subsp. golkoyana Boydak) is described in Turkey. The unidentified Phoenix taxon native to Bodrum-Golkoy, Aegean Turkey and named as the "Golkoy Phoenix population" has been known to Golkoy's inhabitants for centuries. The Golkoy Phoenix population was considered to be representative of P. theophrasti. Boydak made the first of a number of trips to Golkoy and immediately noticed some distinct differences between the Golkoy Phoenix population, P. theophrasti Greuter, and Phoenix dactylifera L in the early summer of 1990. He continued his investigations on this taxon for many years to shed light on the subject. He made two new trips to the three native stands of P. theophrasti and the Golkoy Phoenix populations in 2015 and 2018. Measurements and observations were made on the morphological characteristics that showed distinct differences among the Golkoy Phoenix population, P. theophrasti, and P. dactylifera. These were related to the length of male stalks and female inflorescences and some fruit and seed characteristics. The results indicate that some distinctive morphological characteristics of the "Golkoy Phoenix population" merit its being described as a new subspecies. "Phoenix theophrasti Greuter subsp. golkoyana Boydak" differs from P. theophrasti Greuter with respect to its longer fruiting-female stalk length and longer male stalk length, its fruiting stalks hold fruits marginally higher, and its having seeds with slightly visible striate surface crust structures and deeper-wider grooves.Bu makale kapsamında Türkiye’de yeni bir alttür tanımlanmıştır (Phoenix theophrasti Greuter subsp. golkoyana Boydak). Ege Bölgesi, Bodrum-Gölköy’de doğal olarak bulunan ve “Gölköy Phoenix populasyonu” olarak adlandırılan tanımlanmamış bu takson, Gölköy halkı tarafından yüzlerce yıldan beri bilinmekteydi. Gölköy Phoenix populasyonu Phoenix theophrasti türünün bir temsilcisi olarak kabul ediliyordu. Bu makalenin yazarı, Gölköy’e yaptığı çok sayıdaki bilimsel gezinin, 1990 yılının erken yazında yaptığı ilkinde, Gölköy Phoenix populasyonu, P. theophrasti Greuter and P. dactylifera L. arasında önemli farklılıklar olduğunu gözlemledi. Yazar konuyu aydınlatmak için uzun yıllar bu takson ile ilgili çalışmalara devam etti. 2015 ve 2018 yıllarında, ülkemizde doğal olarak bulunan üç P. theophrsti populasyonu ile Gölköy Phoenix populayonuna iki bilimsel gezi daha yaptı. Gölköy Phoenix populasyonu, P. theophrasti, ve P. dactylifera arasında belirgin farklılıklar gösteren morfolojik özellikler üzerinde ölçmeler ve gözlemler yapıldı. Bunlar erkek çiçek sapları ve meyva saplarının uzunlukları ile bazı meyva ve tohum özelliklerini kapsamaktadır. Sonuçlar, “Gölköy Phoenix populayonu”nun bazı özgün ve farklı morfolojik özellikleri nedeniyle, onun yeni bir alttür olarak tanımlanmaya layık olduğunu ortaya koydu. “Phoenix theophrasti Greuter subsp. golkoyana Boydak”, P. theophrasti Greuter türünden daha uzun meyva sapları ve daha uzun erkek çiçek sapları, meyva saplarının marjinal olarak daha fazla meyva tutmaları, tohumlarının çok az belirli olan tohum kabuğu dokusu, daha derin ve daha geniş tohum oluğu ile ayrılmaktadır.Publisher's Versio

Afforestation of arid and semiarid ecosystems in Turkey

We sincerely thank the Turkish Ministry of Forest and Water Affairs for their support. We are grateful to both the editor and the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions, which improved the paper. We also thank Onur Askin for graphical designSustainable management of arid and semiarid forests requires careful planning and implementation. Afforestation by planting and seeding is a fundamental tool for the establishment of new forests on barren landscapes and restoration of degraded forests in arid and semiarid ecosystems. In afforestation efforts, the consideration of site preparation, selection of species, seed source, and planting methods pose a number of ecological and economic challenges. Possessing one of the world's richest floras, Turkey suffered from heavy degradation during the last millennia. Some studies suggested that forests and steppes once covered 60%-70% and 10%-15% of the Anatolian landscape, respectively. Growing population, overgrazing, clearance for agriculture, fires, excessive timber harvesting, and misuse of lands led to a 26% reduction in the forest area. The Turkish Forest Service completed 2.3 million ha of afforestation and 1.2 ha of erosion control works, mostly in semiarid landscapes. This article presents an assessment of afforestation activities in the semiarid and arid regions of Turkey and is a review of the efforts exerted during the period 1945 to 2014.Publisher's Versio

Parametric Study of an Organic Rankine Cycle Using Different Fluids

This work is an energy study of an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) for the recovery of thermal energy by comparing three organic fluids. This cycle is considered to be a promising cycle for the conversion of heat into mechanical energy suitable for low temperature heat sources; it uses more volatile organic fluids than water, which generally has high molecular weights, thus allowing operating pressures at temperatures lower than those of the traditional Rankine cycle. A thermodynamic model was developed using the Engineering Equation Solver (EES) software to determine its performance using different working fluids (toluene, R245fa and R123) under the same operating conditions, taking into account the effect of certain operating parameters and the selection of organic fluids on cycle performance. The results obtained show that the toluene organic fluid has the best thermal efficiency of the cycle compared to the other fluids; 14.38% for toluene, 13.68% for R123 and 13.19 for R245fa

The Effects of Different Irrigation Levels and Nitrogen Rates on Peanut Yield and Quality in Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey

The aim of research about irrigation and nutrition of peanut is to determine most suitable irrigation level and nitrogen fertilizer dose for peanut in the Harran conditions (Sanliurfa, Turkey).In this study, different amounts of the nitrogen (N-1:0, N-2:40, N-3:80, and N-4:120 kg N ha(-1)) were applied as ammonium nitrate in two times as planting and flowering times to peanut plants. The irrigation levels were determined as 100, 75, 50, and 25% of the irrigation required and labeled as I-1 (first irrigation), I-2 (second irrigation), I-3 (third irrigation), and I-4 (fourth irrigation), respectively. In this study, positive and significant effect were found that the need protein and the increasing of peanut yield with its components were increased with 120 kg ha(-1) nitrogen fertilization (N-4) and no-deficit water (100%:I-1) while the variable 100 fruit weight were increased with 80 kg ha(-1) nitrogen fertilization (N-3) and no-deficit water (100%:I-1) application on plant. The plant height and 100 seed weight except 2nd year were also increased with 80 kg ha(-1) nitrogen (N-3) and no-deficit water (100%:I-1)

MEDIATION ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE PERCEPTION OF ADMINISTRATORS’ POLITICAL AND PATERNALISTIC LEADERSHIP BEHAVIORS ON CONFLICT RESOLUTION BEHAVIORS

The purpose of this study was to examine the mediation role of organizational justice perception of administrators’ political and paternalistic leadership behaviors on conflict resolution behaviors. The study was conducted with 330 high school teachers working in the central district area in Elazığ. Percentage, frequency, arithmetical mean, correlation analysis and hierarchal regression analysis was used in analyzing the data. According to the correlation analysis results, there are positive and significant relationships between administrators’’ paternalistic leadership behaviors and organizational justice perceptions and between political leadership behaviors and conflict resolution behaviors. It was observed that there are negative and low level significant relationships between paternalistic leadership and political leadership behaviors, paternalistic leadership behaviors and conflict resolution behaviors, political leadership behaviors and organizational justice. According to the hierarchal regression analysis results, organizational justice perception has a partly mediation role on administrators’ political and paternalistic behaviors over conflict resolution behaviors.  Article visualizations

Kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk projelerinin banka tercihine etkisi( Geleneksel bankalar ve katılım bankaları üzerine karşılaştırmalı bir analiz)

06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır.Günümüzde bireyler ürün ve hizmet satın alma tercihlerinde sadece bireysel faydaya değil toplumsal faydaya da dikkat etme eğilimindedirler. Değişen dünya ve tüketim alışkanlıklarıyla birlikte tüketiciler ürünü ve hizmetin kendisinden ziyade sağladığı değerleri de satın almaktadır. Bu sebeple tüketiciye sadece kaliteli ürün ve hizmet sunmak değil aynı zamanda değer yaratmak da önemli hale gelmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra çeşitli stratejilerle ya da yollarla farklılık yaratmak da rekabet avantajı sağlamak için zorunluluk haline gelmeye başlamıştır. İşletmelerin faaliyetlerini kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk bilinciyle yürütmesi farklılaşmak için önemli bir ölçüt haline gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, geleneksel bankalar ile katılım bankalarının tercih edilmesinde kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk projelerinin etkisini incelemek, kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk algılarını karşılaştırarak anlamlı sonuçlar elde etmektir. Bu alandaki literatür çalışmaları incelendiğinde katılım bankası ve mevduat bankası karşılaştırması yapılmamış olduğu görülmektedir. Dört bölümden oluşan çalışmada, birinci bölümde kurumsal sosyal sorumluluk detaylı bir şekilde ortaya koyulmuştur. İkinci bölümde ise müşterilerin banka tercihlerini etkileyen faktörler incelenmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde Türk Ekonomi Bankası ve Kuveyt Türk Katılım Bankası hakkında genel bilgiler verilmiş olup, yapmış oldukları sosyal sorumluluk faaliyetlerine yer verilmiştir. Dördüncü bölümde ise anketörler İstanbul ili Bakırköy, Fatih, Kadıköy, Pendik ilçelerindeki Kuveyt Türk ve TEB banka şubelerine giderek yüz yüze anket tekniği ile banka müşterilerine anket uygulamışlardır. Ankete 451 banka müşterisi katılmıştır. Araştırmada elde edilen verilerin analizleri IBM SPSS 23.0 yazılımı aracılığıyla yürütülmüştür. Sonuç bölümünde analizler değerlendirilerek, bankalara öneriler sunulmuştur. Anahtar Kelimeler: KSS, Tercih, Katılım Bankaları, Mevduat BankalarıToday, individuals tend to pay attention not only to individual benefit but also to social benefit in their choice of product and service purchase. Along with the changing world and consumption habits, consumers also buy the values that the product and service provide rather than the product itself. For this reason, it has become important not only to provide quality products and services to the consumer, but also to create value.In addition, making a difference with various strategies or ways has become an imperative to provide competitive advantage. It is becoming an important criterion for differentiation of businesses to carry out their activities with corporate social responsibility awareness. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of corporate social responsibility projects in choosing traditional banks and participation banks, and to achieve meaningful results by comparing corporate social responsibility perceptions. When the literature studies in this field are analyzed, it is seen that there is no comparison between participation bank and deposit bank. In the study, which consists of four chapters, corporate social responsibility was revealed in detail in the first chapter. In the second part, the factors affecting the bank preferences of the customers were examined. In the third part, general information about Turkish Ekonomy Bank and Kuveyt Turk Participation Bank was given as well as their social responsibility activities. In the fourth part, the interviewers went to Kuveyt Türk and TEB bank branches in Bakırköy, Fatih, Kadıköy, Pendik districts of Istanbul and applied a questionnaire to bank customers with face-to-face survey technique. 451 bank customers participated in the survey. The analysis of the data obtained in the research was carried out through IBM SPSS 23.0 software. In the conclusion part, analyzes were evaluated and suggestions were presented to banks.

THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL CAPITAL ELEMENTS ON JOB SATISFACTION AND MOTIVATION LEVELS OF TEACHERS

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of social capital elements’ on job satisfaction and motivation levels of teachers. The mixed method was used in the study. The quantitative data were analyzed through Correlation and Multiple Regression analyses. An interview form developed by the researchers was used for analyzing the qualitative data. According to the correlation analysis, there is a positive and high level of relationship between social capital and job motivation. According to the regression analysis results, the three sub dimensions of social capital are significant predictors of job motivation levels of teachers; the other finding suggests that only the communication-social interaction sub-dimension is a significant predictor of teachers’ job satisfaction levels

Reflections of Seljuk Bookbinding Style on the 15th Century Ottoman Bindings (Examples of Çorum Hasan Pasha Manuscript Library)

Reflections of Seljuk Bookbinding Style on the 15th Century Ottoman Bindings (Examples of Çorum Hasan Pasha Manuscript Library) Abstract Binding is the general name of the book covers, which both have protective qualities and give aesthetic pleasure to the eyes with the decoration applied on it. According to the binding fragments found in Chotscho, the Turkish binding art must have started in Central Asia. These bindings set an example for Turkish bindings produced after it, both technically and in terms of decoration. Seljuk Turks, who came to Anatolia from Central Asia, brought this art with them and developed it here. The bookbinders of the period produced many decorated bookbindings during this period and formed the Seljuk style of binding. The medallion is generally in circular form and is located at the center point of the cover. From an ornamental point of view, the decoration of the front and back cover in a different way is the main feature that distinguishes Seljuk binding from other period bindings. The preference for different types of decoration in the border decorations is also one of the distinguishing features of the Seljuk binding style. Seljuk bindings also attract attention in terms of the material used in the inside of covers and the motif applied. Generally, the inside of the cover is covered with leather. There are full geometric and rūmī patterns on the inside of the cover. The effect of Seljuk binding style on Anatolian Principalities, especially Karamanids, has been determined by various studies. These effects and reflections continued in Turkish-Islamic bindings until the end of the 15th century. The theme of the article is 15th-century Ottoman bindings in which these reflections can be seen. The Çorum Hasan Pasha Manuscript Library, which has not been the subject of any study in this regard, has been determined as the research area. As a result of the researches carried out in this library, five examples from the 15th century were identified. The first of the examples is the binding of the work with inventory number 3374, with the copying date of 839/1435. This binding reflects the Seljuk binding style in terms of double-row border decoration, medallion form, and decoration technique applied with nails. The second example is the binding of the manuscript with inventory number 4064 and dated 850/1445. The waqf seal of Sayyid Ahmad Fayzī, the mufti of Çorum, is found on various pages of this work. The binding of the manuscript shows the Seljuk influence with different medallion designs on its front and back cover. In addition, the type of decoration of the corner piece is also a reflection of the same style. The third example is the binding of the manuscript dated 842/1438 with inventory number 4117. This binding is one of the important examples where the Seljuk style on one cover and the Ottoman early period binding style on the other cover come together in one binding. The fourth example is the binding of the manuscript with inventory number 4115, which was completed in the month of Muharram of 885/1479. The medallion of this binding is in narrow pointed oval form. This binding reflects the Seljuk style especially in terms of border decorations and technique. The fifth example is the binding of the manuscript with inventory number 4933. In the manuscript, there is the waqf seal dated 1201 (1786) in the name of Suleyman Feyzi and an ownership record written Muhammed b. Ahmad al-Shāfiī 934 (1527). The binding of the manuscript was decorated with Seljuk patterns using the gold-ink dyeing technique. The border decoration is also the type that stands out in the Seljuk decoration repertoire. In our article, it was determined that the Seljuk binding style continued to show its effect partially after the 15th century. Two bindings (4768, 4062) dated the 16th century are also available in the library. The binding of the manuscript, like 4117, has the characteristic of different decoration types of the front and back cover, which is the most typical feature of the Seljuk binding. As a result, it has been determined that the binding subject to the article coincides with the Seljuk bindings in terms of decoration types and production techniques and bears the reflections of this style. Reflections have also been compared with similar examples from the 15th century. According to this; the 15th century is a period in which the Seljuk State continued its continuity in terms of binding art, even if not in an administrative sense. Previous period effects that can be observed in every branch of art were also valid for 15th-century bookbinders who produced works in Anatolia
