Perceptions of the Dilemma – Order versus Freedom at Managing Faculty: A Literature Review

This study aims to examine the perceptions of the middle management (deans and heads of departments) and academicians on the dilemma order versus freedom at faculty management. It discusses how this dilemma is seen at an operational level and how it can be managed at university where both parties -with a managerial role or not- are academicians/academics and have professional expertise. The literature on organizational dilemmas was analyzed to answer the questions “which side of the dilemma is seen dominantly in different organization types?”, “how does examining organizational structures from different perspectives help understand educational organizations?” and “in that way how can dilemmas be managed in educational contexts especially in the academic context?” The major findings include the tendency to one side of the dilemma in different perspectives to organizational structure creates problems in the organizational management. However, balancing the order or freedom dilemma at an operational level improves effectiveness. Balancing dilemmas at faculty management is specifically difficult due to differing perceptions of academicians and the management. It needs the effective usage of other instruments in organizational life. The dynamics of organizational structures and processes in Higher Education (HE) institutions are growing attention due to the growing importance of HE institutions worldwide. Research on how effectively the operating core itself at HE institutions is managed is becoming more important in the field. This study explores the problems in the management of faculty at an operational level based on dilemmas between academicians and the middle management.

Entwicklungspsychopathologische Analysen im Kindes- und Jugendalter : unter besonderer Berücksichtigung des Migrationshintergrundes

Theoretical background. Different burden factors in migrant children and adolescents are discussed, such as a low socioeconomic status, low language competences in the language of the immigration country or, compared with non-migrant children, often poorer school performance. Even though the number of migrant children has increased, there are actually almost no German studies analyzing the mental constitution of these children and adolescents in detail. Questioning. This research project questioned if the prevalence of mental disorders in migrant children is higher than that of their counterparts without migration background and whether they are at risk for certain specific burden factors. Furthermore, particular attention was paid to their mental health care visits. In addition, the identification of risk factors in specific disorders or in syndromes was of interest. Methods. In order to operationalize the questions European and American literature was systematically researched and retrospective child and adolescent psychiatric health care data of Bremen (2005-2012; N = 5594) were analyzed. Results. Migrant children and adolescents showed a higher prevalence in mental disorders than their non-migrant counterparts, particularly in internalizing disorders. Furthermore, specific migrant risk factors were found, such as child-related factors (e. g. cultural identity, acculturation stress), familyrelated factors (e. g. discrepancy in child and parent cultural orientation, strong family cohesion) or environment-related factors (e. g. discrimination experiences, ethnic density in school class). Even a specific ethnic affiliation (e.g. African, Asian, Turkish or Moroccan) or a different cultural orientation (e. g. collectivistic) influenced their mental constitution negatively. Analysis of risk factors identified disorder-specific and syndrome-specific risk factors, such as gender, educational background or the family situation. Conclusions. Based on these results more selective study designs and analyses in ethnic minority groups in research context are recommended. Additionally, in consideration of transdiagnostic perspective relevant risk factors in children and adolescents are presented. For psychodiagnostic the implementation of standardized interviews or questionnaires with cross-cultural contents is recommended to identify migration specific risk factors adequately

Cytosolic NADPH balancing in Penicillium chrysogenum cultivated on mixtures of glucose and ethanol

The in vivo flux through the oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway (oxPPP) in Penicillium chrysogenum was determined during growth in glucose/ethanol carbon-limited chemostat cultures, at the same growth rate. Non-stationary 13C flux analysis was used to measure the oxPPP flux. A nearly constant oxPPP flux was found for all glucose/ethanol ratios studied. This indicates that the cytosolic NADPH supply is independent of the amount of assimilated ethanol. The cofactor assignment in the model of van Gulik et al. (Biotechnol Bioeng 68(6):602–618, 2000) was supported using the published genome annotation of P. chrysogenum. Metabolic flux analysis showed that NADPH requirements in the cytosol remain nearly the same in these experiments due to constant biomass growth. Based on the cytosolic NADPH balance, it is known that the cytosolic aldehyde dehydrogenase in P. chrysogenum is NAD +  dependent. Metabolic modeling shows that changing the NAD + -aldehyde dehydrogenase to NADP + -aldehyde dehydrogenase can increase the penicillin yield on substrate

TEZ12785Tez (Yüksek Lisans) -- Çukurova Üniversitesi, Adana, 2020.Kaynakça (s. 73-74) var.XIII, 75 s. :_res. (bzs. rnk.), tablo ;_29 cm.Bu çalışma gelişen teknolojinin ürünü olan İnsansız Hava Aracı (İHA) ile arazinin tanımlanmasını sağlayan ortofoto harita, Sayısal Arazi Modeli (SYM), halihazır harita verilerini üretmek ve diğer üretim yöntemlerine göre avantaj-dezavantajlarını araştırmaktadır. Halihazır haritalar; klasik yöntem olarak da adlandırılan yersel yöntemler, son yıllarda gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte yüksek çözünürlüklü uydu görüntüleri, LiDAR verileri ve hava fotogrametrisi gibi yöntemler kullanılarak üretilmesine rağmen bu teknolojik araçlar ve yöntemler maliyet açısından külfetli olmaktadır. Ayrıca bu teknolojiler sürekli değişen arazi topoğrafyasının haritaların güncel tutulması ihtiyacını karşılayamamaktadır. İHA’ların maliyetinin düşük olması ve boyutlarının gittikçe küçülmesiyle birçok alanda kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. İHA’lar askeri ve güvenlik amacıyla kullanılmasına devam etmekle birlikte sivil amaçlar nedeniyle de kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında Ordu İli, Altınordu İlçesinde yaklaşık 3 hektarlık bir alanda İHA ile alınan görüntüler üzerinden ortofoto harita ve 1/1000 ölçekli halihazır harita üretilmiştir. Ayrıca bu üretim sürecinin diğer veri alım yöntemleri ile kıyaslaması yapılmıştır. Çalışma alanının yüksek çözünürlüklü ortofoto haritası, sayısal yükseklik modeli, nokta bulutu verisi gibi veriler Pix4D programında, BÖHHBÜY’e uygun olarak halihazır harita üretimi ve haritanın paftalandırılması gibi işlemler ise NetCAD programında üretilmiştir. Bu tez çalışması, İHA’ların haritacılık uygulamalarında, yersel ve diğer uzaktan algılama yöntemlerine göre daha hassas, düşük maliyetli ve hızlı çözümler üretmesine iyi bir örnek niteliğindedir. Bu sayede hızla değişen yeryüzü topoğrafyasının haritalarda güncellenmesi işlerinde daha hızlı, düşük maliyetli, güncel teknolojik yöntemlerin gelişmesine katkı sağlaması amaçlanmıştır.This study investigates the advantages and disadvantages of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is the product of developing technology, to produce terrain, orthophoto map, digital terrain model (SYM), current map data and other production methods. Although current maps are produced by using terrestrial methods, also known as classical methods, with the developing technology in recent years, such as high resolution satellite images, LiDAR data and aerial photogrammetry, these technological tools and methods are costly. UAVs are being used in many areas with low cost and increasing size. UAVs continue to be used for military and security purposes, but are also used for civilian purposes. Within the scope of this study, orthophoto map and 1/1000 scale current map were produced on images taken with UAV in an area of approximately 3 hectares in Altınordu District of Ordu. Data such as high resolution orthophoto map of the study area, digital elevation model, point cloud data are produced in Pix4D program, current map generation and map layouts are produced in NetCAD program. This thesis is a good example for UAVs to produce more accurate, low cost and faster solutions in mapping applications than local and other remote sensing methods. In this way, it is aimed to contribute to the development of faster, low cost, up-to-date technological methods in updating works of the rapidly changing earth topography on maps
