Bu araştırmada, Ankara Üniversitesi akademik personelinin bilgi gereksinimleri doğrultusunda oluşturulan ve elektronik kütüphanede yer alan veri tabanlarının kullanılıp kullanılmadığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmış; bu amaca yönelik bilgi modeli ve içeriği belirlenerek uygulamaların gerçekleştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir.Education, research, and implementation activities of universities necessitate access to information in the most accurate and fastest manner in today's conditions. In this regard; Members of Ankara University have to access scientific information through the most contemporary information and communication technology in the electronic environment, primarily through the global internet system. Each scientific database has specific standard characteristics. These properties gain importance in terms of the correctness and speed of access to the data contained in the database. The sources of scientific information that the members of Ankara University will need are presented in the electronic environment using the most contemporary information and communication technologies. This article aims to determine the information needs of the members of Ankara University and to determine the information access and the use of information by identifying the information access model for researching the educational facilities and the necessary infrastructure and technical support so that the maximum benefit can be obtained from the electronic library. Aims at realizing their application by determining the information model and content for this purpose

Cost-effective colour sensor construction

In parallel with the rapid development of automation systems, there is a growing need to perceive different physical quantities in the industry. Various sensors have been developed to meet this need. Be affordable sensors, in terms of investment costs of systems and maintenance as well as repair costs are gaining importance. One of the commonly used sensors in automation is colour sensors. Colour sensors are frequently used in production lines especially for detecting defective products. Two general methods are used in colour sensors. The first of these methods is performed by camera and video processing microcontroller however this method is costly. Another method is the use of light source and LDR or phototransistor. The sensors produced by this method are more cost effective. These sensors have different types. In this study, a simple colour sensor was obtained by using white light source and three LDRs coated with red, green, blue film as well as arduino uno. The results obtained are compared with the RGB colour code table. In this way, the construction of a simple colour sensor has been studied in detail. © 2017 Majlesi Branch, Islamic Azad University.2-s2.0-8504866963

Gebelerde Farklı Trimesterlerde Görülebilen Problemlerin İncelenmesi

AMAÇ: Çalışmamızda, gebelikte görülebilen bel ağrısı, üriner inkontinans, konstipasyon ve sistit gibi problemlerin farklı trimesterlerdeki görülme sıklığının incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır.YÖNTEM: Gebelerin değerlendirilmesinde, bel ağrısı için Revize Oswestry Skalası, konstipasyon için Konstipasyon Ciddiyet Ölçeği, üriner inkontinans için İnkontinans Şiddet Ölçeği ve sistit için İnterstisyel Sistit Semptom İndeksi kullanıldı.BULGULAR: Bel ağrısı; 1. trimesterdeki gebelerin %13,3’ünde şiddetli iken, 2. trimesterdeki gebelerin %7,3’ünde şiddetli olup 3. trimesterdaki gebelerin %16,9’unda şiddetlidir. Konstipasyon; 1. trimesterdeki gebelerin %86,7’sinde, 2. trimesterdeki gebelerin %87,8’inde ve 3.trimesterdeki gebelerin %86,4’ünde görülmektedir.Üriner inkontinans; 1. trimesterdeki gebelerin %13,3’ünde, 2. trimesterdeki gebelerin %56,1’inde ve 3.trimesterdeki gebelerin %45,8’inde görülmektedir.Sistit; 1. trimesterdeki gebelerin %46,7’sinde, 2. trimesterdeki gebelerin %43,9’unda ve 3.trimesterdeki gebelerin %57,6’sında görülmektedir. Fakat trimesterler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05).SONUÇ: Gebeliğin tüm trimesterlerinde bel ağrısı, üriner inkontinans, konstipasyon ve sistit problemleri görülmekte olup, gebeliğin haftası ilerledikçe şikayetlerin görülme sıklığında artış olduğu bulunmuştur.OBJECTIVE: In our study, it is aimed to examine the incidence of problems such as low back pain, urinary incontinence, constipation and cystitis that can be seen during pregnancy in different trimesters.METHODS: Revised Oswestry Scale for low back pain, Constipation Severity Scale for constipation, Incontinence Severity Scale for urinary incontinence, and Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Index for cystitis were used in the evaluation of pregnant women.RESULTS: Low back pain; while it is severe in 13.3% of the pregnants in the 1st trimester, it is severe in 7.3% of the pregnants in the 2nd trimester and severe in 16.9% of the pregnants in the 3rd trimester. Constipation; it is seen in 86.7% of the pregnants in the 1st trimester, 87.8% of the pregnants in the 2nd trimester and 86.4% of the pregnants in the 3rd trimester. Urinary incontinence; it is seen in 13.3% of the pregnants in the 1st trimester, 56.1% of the pregnants in the 2nd trimester and 45.8% of the pregnants in the 3rd trimester. Cystitis; it is seen in 46.7% of the pregnants in the 1st trimester, 43.9% of the pregnants in the 2nd trimester and 57.6% of the pregnants in the 3rd trimester. However, there was no statistically significant difference between trimesters (p>0.05).CONCLUSION: Low back pain, urinary incontinence, constipation and cystitis problems are seen in all trimesters of pregnancy, and it has been found that the frequency of complaints increases as the week of pregnancy progresses

Examining the Cultural Validity of Fear Survey Schedule for Children: The Contemporary Fears of Turkish Children and Adolescents

The authors examined the cultural validity of Fear Survey Schedule for Children (FSSC-AM) developed by J. J. Burnham (2005) with Turkish children. The relationships between demographic variables and the level of fear were also tested. Three independent data sets were used. The first data set comprised 676 participants (321 women and 355 men) and was used for examining factor structure and internal reliability of FSSC. The second data set comprised 639 participants (321 women and 318 men) and was used for testing internal reliability and to confirm the factor structure of FSCC. The third data set comprised 355 participants (173 women and 182 men) and used for analyses of test-retest reliability, inter-item reliability, and convergent validity for the scores of FSSC. The sum of the first and second samples (1,315 participants; 642 women and 673 men) was used for testing the relationships between demographic variables and the level of fear. Results indicated that FSSC is a valid and reliable instrument to examine Turkish children's and adolescents' fears between the ages of 8 and 18years. The younger, female, children of low-income parents reported a higher level of fear. The findings are discussed in light of the existing literature
