Reading the Older People Researches in Architecture through Bibliometric Analysis (1975-2022)

The increase in the elderly population all over the world has made it necessary for many disciplines, from health to psychology, from economics to humanities, to conduct field-oriented studies. Architecture is one of the disciplines that play an important role in old age in terms of its relationship with the built environment. This study aims to reveal the intellectual structure, research topics, and trends of scientific studies on elderly users in the discipline of architecture. In this study, in which bibliometric analysis of articles for older adults was made in the Web of Science database between 1975 and 2022, the structure of the field and relations were analyzed by creating science maps through performance analysis and VOSviewer software. In the analyzes made, it has been seen that the number of articles on the elderly has increased in recent years. Although it has a wide distribution in terms of subject variety; housing, aging in place, age-friendly environment, and accessibility are the current topics in the field. This study contributes to the literature by presenting the current course of elderly user-oriented studies in architecture from a bibliographic perspective. On the other hand, it is thought to be a guide for new research by revealing the deficiencies in the field

Hanefî Ceza Hukuk İlminde Sistematik Mezhep Görüşüne Aykırı Rivayetlerin Te’vil Yolu Olarak Siyaset

Bu makale Hanefî fakihlerin ceza hukuku alanında sistematik mezhep görüşüne aykırı buldukları bir kısım rivayetleri te’vil ederken siyaset terimini nasıl kullandıklarını göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Amacı gerçekleştirmek için ilk olarak Hanefî ceza hukuk ilminde siyaset teriminin anlaşılma biçimi üzerinde durmak gerekmiştir. Bu bağlamda birçok Hanefî fakihin siyaset olarak isimlendirdiği yaptırım kategorisini kamu otoritesinin salt kendi takdiriyle ilişkilendirmiş olduğunu tespit etmek önemlidir. Siyaseti kamu otoritesinin salt kendi takdiriyle ilişkilendirmek onlara kendi sistemleriyle uyumlu bulmadıkları bir kısım nasları te’vil ederken siyaset terimine başvurma imkânı vermiş görünmektedir. İkinci olarak makale Hanefî fıkıh kitaplarında siyaset teriminin bir te’vil yolu olarak kullanıldığı birçok hukuki tartışmayı analiz etmektedir. Bu tartışmalarda Hanefî fakihler siyaseti prensip olarak meşru bir yasama alanı olarak görmelerine rağmen sistematik mezhep hukukunun gelişiminde dikkate almamaktadırlar. Söz konusu yaklaşım onların bütün bir İslâm hukukunu fıkıh ve siyaset hükümleri olarak iki ayrı kategoride ele aldıklarını göstermektedir

Anthropometric Evaluation of the Crèches Children Furniture in Turkey

The dimensions of the living and working space and buildings, the types of material and different riggings should be designed to conform to the users’ anthropometric measures. The first requirement to design on ergonomic system is to measure the human being who will work and live in that system. Because of this, anthropometric measures are the most frequently used ergonomic data during the design process. In this research paper, we attempt to organize a new data base of anthropometric data to use in the design of children’s equipment and furniture used in crèches. A starting point for research on the proper dimensions of crèche furniture is to investigate how the dimensions of furniture reflect the body dimensions and the functional needs of the children using furniture. The anthropometric data of 3, 4 and 5 year-old-children in crèches was used. We report the results of the measurements of 18 anthropometric characteristics of children which constitute a set of basic data for the design of functional spaces and furniture

Short communicationi: Shelled acorn seed (Quercus cerris) as a diet ingredient onthe performance of growing Japanese Quail

This study was carried out to investigate the effects of dietary inclusion of shelled acorn seed (Quercus cerris) on the growth performance and carcass yield of Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica). Four hundred four-day old quail chicks were used in this study. Experimental diets contained 0, 5, 10, 15 or 20% shelled acorn seed. The experiment lasted 38 days. There were no differences between treatments in body weight, body weight gain, feed intake and feed conversion ratio. Furthermore, the mortality rate and carcass yield were not affected by the inclusion in the diet of different levels of shelled acorn seed. The inclusion of shelled acorn seed to the quail diets did not cause any harmful effect on the health of the birds. These results suggested that up to 20% shelled acorn seed could be included as an energy source in quail diets.

Levels of attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness of students in international baccalaureate diploma program and students in national program: Uluslararası bakalorya diploma programı ve ulusal programda öğrenim gören öğrencilerin çevreye yönelik tutum ve çevre farkındalık düzeyleri

This research will be covering the comparison of TED Ankara College IB and national program students’ attitudes toward environment, and their their levels of awarness in terms of this subject. The research also covers the variable of gender in comparison of levels of awarness and attitude toward environment between the students who are taking the IBDP ‘’ESS’’ course and who aren’t. The statistics in the research is obtained by ‘’Attitude toward environment scale’’ and ‘’Environmental awarness scale’’. The scales and the research had been done on 25 students from IBDP Turkish-Mathematics track, 45 students from IBDP Math-Science track and 39 students from the national program. The 109 students who had taken part in the research consists of 57 female and 52 male students. The findings of the survey show that there is a significant relation between students' attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness levels and gender, but there is not a significant difference of students’ attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness levels when the track and program variables are taken into consideration. Results also show that there is a linear correlation between the attitude toward environment and environmental awareness levels of both students in IBDP taking the "Environmental Systems and Societies" course and the students taking the national program curriculum. Findings put forth in the study are important for mirroring the levels of attitudes toward environment and environmental awareness levels of students who are taking an intensive environmental education in an international programme and of students who are taking environmental education in biology curriculum of the national programme. In the light of the findings of the investigation, importance of expert advice in the process of preparing curriculum about the environmental education and encouraging students to actively participate in the activities about environment is highlighted.   Özet Bu araştırma, TED Ankara Koleji Vakfı Özel Lisesi’nde uygulanan Uluslararası Bakalorya Diploma Programı ve ulusal programda öğrenim gören öğrencilerin çevreye yönelik tutum ve çevre farkındalık düzeylerinin karşılaştırılmasını amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmada ayrıca cinsiyet değişkenine göre ve UBDP’de “Çevre Sistemleri” dersi alan ve almayan öğrencilerin de çevreye yönelik tutum ve çevre farkındalık düzeylerinin karşılaştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada sunulan veriler, “Çevre Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Çevre Farkındalık Ölçeği”nden elde edilmiştir. Ölçekler, TED Ankara Koleji’nde öğrenim gören UBDP Matematik- Fen alanındaki 45 öğrenciye, UBDP Türkçe-Matematik alanındaki 25 öğrenciye ve ulusal programdaki 39 öğrenciye uygulanmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan 109 öğrencinin 57’si kız, 52’si erkektir.  Araştırmanın bulguları, öğrencilerin çevreye yönelik tutum ve farkındalık düzeyleri ile cinsiyetleri arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu, fakat öğrencilerin çevreye yönelik tutum ve farkındalık düzeylerinde alan ve program değişkeni göz önünde tutulduğunda anlamlı bir farklılık olmadığını ortaya koymuştur. Bulgular ayrıca UBDP’ında “Çevre Sistemleri” dersi alan ve ulusal program öğrencilerinin çevreye yönelik tutum ve çevre farkındalık düzeyleri arasında anlamlı lineer bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Çalışmada ortaya konulan bulgular, uluslararası bir programda yoğun bir şekilde çevre eğitimi ile ilgili ders alan öğrencilerle ulusal biyoloji öğretim programı dahilinde çevre eğitimi gören öğrencilerin çevreye yönelik tutumları ve çevre farkındalık düzeylerini yansıtması açısından önem taşımaktadır. Araştırmanın bulguları ışığında çevre eğitimi programları hazırlanırken uzman görüşlerine başvurulmasının ve çevre ile ilgili aktivitelere öğrencilerin aktif katılımlarının önemine dikkat çekilmektedir

Evaluation on Spatial Quality in Retail Stores through Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA)

In today's world, where consumption is increasing rapidly, the designs of retail stores have gained importance with the increasing competition between institutions. One of the most predominant factors in the contact of the store with the customer is the spatial quality, which reveals the ability of the spatial features to meet user expectations. The study aims to determine the spatial quality indicators in retail stores and to expose the relationship between the importance and performance perception of these criteria among user groups. For this purpose, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), which has been a user-participated method and has powerful advantages in measuring service quality, was used in the study. In the first stage of the study, we determined the spatial quality indicators (functional, technical, and aesthetic) and sub-indicators by a literature review. The second stage is fieldwork performed in the determined study area, Koçtaş. At this stage, visual data of the study area was obtained, and 119 people (97 customers and 22 personnel) participated in the survey. In the third stage, IPA was used in analyzing the data. In the fourth stage, results were evaluated by supporting the visuals of the space. As a result of the study, the store was weak, especially in terms of aesthetic indicators, and significant differences were perceived by users between the importance and performance of spatial performance indicators. The study will lead up for research on examining the relationship between importance and performance in spaces with different functions by including the user in the process of determining and improving spatial quality
