Findings- As a result of the comparison study the similarities and detailed information are provided about the case study. Also, the additional benefits of the project mentioned in the case study is determined. Conclusion- A successful PPP Project example and its fundamentals are determined according to the case study. With the help of additional benefits of the project, a revaluation approach to be considered for PPP Projects for the future studies.Amaç- Hükümetler, vatandaşlarının refahı için ulaşım, sağlık, eğitim gibi sektörlerde çeşitli hizmet ve yatırım faaliyetlerini çeşitli metodolojiler ile ifa ve icra eder. Kamu Özel İşbirliği modeli finansal ve işletimsel avantajları nedeniyle Türkiye’de son zamanlarda çok tercih edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın ana amacı, Kamu Özel İşbirliği (KÖİ) projelerinin temel ilkelerinin anlaşılması, uluslararası örnekler ve prensiplerin bir örnek olay analizi olarak Avrasya Tüneli ile karşılaştırmasının gerçekleştirilmesidir. Yöntem- Kamu Özel İşbirliğinin temel ilkeleri ve uygulama süreçleri açıklayıcı araştırma modeli kullanılarak verilmiştir. Önerilen organizasyon yapıları, süreç döngüsü ve uygulama süreçleri, karşılaştırmalı örnek olay analizi modeli kullanılarak teorik bilgi ile pratik uygulamanın kıyaslaması yapılmıştır. Bulgular- Karşılaştırma çalışması sonuçlarına göre tespit edilen benzerlikler ve örnek olay analizi ile ilgili detaylı bilgi paylaşılmıştır. Ayrıca örnek vaka analizinde proje ile ilgili tespit edilen ek faydalar da bu çalışmada belirtilmiştir. Sonuç- Başarılı bir Kamu Özel İşbirliği projesi ve temel ilkeleri, örnek olay analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Projenin ek faydalarının tespiti vasıtasıyla yeniden değerleme yaklaşımı geliştirilmesi ve diğer KÖİ Projelerinin gelecek çalışmalarda kullanması değerlendirilecektir.Publisher's Versio

Bilimsel Süreç Becerilerine Dayalı İlköğretim Fen Eğitiminin, Bilimsel Problem Çözme Becerilerine Etkisi

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the primary science education based on science process skills on the scientific problem solving skills of elementary students. In the study, quasiexperimental design with a control group was used. In order to determine the scientific problem solving skills of the students, Scientific Problem Solving Test was applied to the experimental and control groups as pre and post test. The coefficient of the Cronbach alpha reliability of the test was found as 0,86. Results showed that the science education based on science process skills enhances the scientific problem solving skills of students.Bu araştırmanın amacı, bilimsel süreç becerilerine dayalı ilköğretim fen eğitiminin, öğrencilerin bilimsel problem çözme becerilerine etkisini belirlemektir. Bu amaçla, ilköğretim Fen ve Teknoloji Dersi 6. sınıf yaşamımızdaki elektrik ünitesi kapsamında bilimsel süreç becerilerine dayalı bir program uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada, yarı deneysel yöntemin ön test – son test kontrol gruplu deseni kullanılmıştır. Öğrencilerin bilimsel problem çözme becerilerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla Bilimsel Problem Çözme Testi deney ve kontrol gruplarına ön test ve son test olarak uygulanmıştır. Testin pilot uygulamasında cronbach alpha güvenirlik katsayısı 0,86 bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonunda, bilimsel süreç becerilerine dayalı yürütülen fen eğitiminin, öğrencilerin bilimsel problem çözme becerilerini arttırdığı belirlenmiştir

Crisis project management and the effect of national culture under crisis: A study from Turkey

Crisis management is a critical function in organizations, specifically developing and emerging countries dealing with crisis in a minor and major scale frequently. Crisis in projects should be handled immediately and professionally in where the projects threat the reputation of a company. In traditional organizations, most common organizational behavior under crisis seems to take the risk with no supported mechanism. Project management based organizations practice risk management under project management methodologies, surprisingly we cannot find many companies are prepared for crisis. This behavior may associate with national culture, especially Hofstede's extensive work on national cultures. Therefore, this paper investigates cultural characteristics of Turkish business culture under crisis, and identifies the relationship with the natural culture dimensions and crisis project management. Two-stages survey questionnaires are employed and data analyzed using different statistical analysis. Our results indicate that power distance, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientations are the national cultural dimensions observed significantly under crisis situations. Further investigation and recommendations are discussed.Publisher's Versio

The Awareness Levels of Pre-School Education Teachers Regarding Science Process Skills

In this study, of the developmental domains in Pre-school Education Program 2009 for Children 60-72 months of age, inclusion frequency of science process skill attainments in cognitive domain in the daily lesson plans practiced in a year and the awareness levels of the pre-school teachers regarding science process skills are examined. In respect to this, to determine the awareness of the pre-school teachers regarding science process skills, an Interview Form was prepared. From qualitative research techniques, content analysis and descriptive analysis were applied to the interview forms. According to the analysis results, it is concluded that teachers do not give much place to the science activities in pre-school education and awareness levels of teachers regarding science process skills are remarkably low.

Cost Analysis of Ertapenem Therapy for Urinary Tract Infections and Assessment of Its Suitability for Outpatient Parenteral Antibiotic Therapy Programme in Turkey

Introduction: The primary aim of this study was to evaluate whether there was a difference between outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (OPAT) and inpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy (IPAT) costs of ertapenem for urinary tract infections (UTI"s) due to extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Gram-negative bacilli, and to discuss suitability of ertapenem for OPAT programme of Turkey for the near future. Materials and Methods: A total of 53 patients hospitalized with the diagnosis of UTI and treated with ertapenem were retrospectively evaluated. The cost of ertapenem treatment as IPAT was actual costs retrieved from the hospital records. The estimated cost of the same antibiotic for the same patients as an OPAT programme was then calculated and the costs were compared. Results: The cost difference between IPAT and OPAT was 12.305 (€ 5783). Outpatient parenteral antibiotic therapy programme would provide an estimated 20% reduction in treatment costs. The estimated number of bed days saved, if the patients had received the treatment as OPAT, was calculated to be 583 days, which constitutes about 5% of the total number of hospitalization days. Conclusion: Applying ertapenem therapy through OPAT programme for UTIs caused by ESBL-producing Gram-negative bacilli will decrease the financial burden of health expenditures and the number of inpatient bed days in Turkey
