PERCEPTIONS OF THE "LANGUAGE" CONCEPT OF TURKISH TEACHER CANDIDATES: A SAMPLE ANALYSIS OF METAPHORS

In this study, it is aimed to determine the opinions of Turkish teacher candidates on the concept of "language". The study group of the study; in the academic year of 2018-2019, a total of 190 teacher candidates studying at Fırat University Turkish Language Teaching Department are formed. In the study designed with qualitative research design, open-ended question form was used as data collection tool. The Turkish teacher candidates were asked to complete the expression using the metaphors "It looks like / language ... because ..." The obtained data were analyzed by the content analysis method and 167 valid metaphors were obtained for the concept of "language". Metaphores were collected under eight conceptual category and analyzed. As a result of the research, it was determined that prospective teachers developed many language metaphors. "Mirror (6.58%)", "bridge (5.38%)", "infant (5.38%)", "water (4.19%)", "sun (4.19%)" "tree (3.59%)" metaphors have been identified.  Article visualizations

The effect of microwaves on ion exchange in zeolites

Thesis (Doctoral)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Chemical Engineering, Izmir, 2009Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 135-143)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishxvi, 220 leavesRecent innovations of microwave field lead many scientists to focus on this phenomenon and it has been begun to be applied in different fields of zeolite applications. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of microwave irradiation on ion exchange degree and on the structure of natural zeolite. The clinoptilolite rich mineral from Western Anatolia was used throughout the experiments. The ion exchange experiments were performed using AgNO3, Co.(NO3)26H2O and Cu (NO3)25/2H2O within 0.01M - 1M and 40 oC - 80 oC concentration and temperature range in conventional waterbath and microwave. Different solid and solution conditions on ion exchange degree were determined, as well. Metal exchanged minerals were characterized by using instrumental techniques. Antibacterial activity of the Agexchanged clinoptilolite against E. coli was determined by Kirby.Bauer method. The Ag +, Co2+ and Cu2+ amounts within the mineral increased with decreasing S/L while increased with increasing temperature and time. For some utilized parameters microwave treatment was effective however on the whole it did not significantly improved the degree of ion exchange compared to waterbath treatment. The inspection of XRD patterns and FTIR spectra of metal exchanged minerals confirmed that no transition of clinoptilolite phase and no shifts in peak positions occurred with exchange methods applied. The sorption processes are controlled mainly by external-phase mass transfer. Ag+, Co2+ and Cu2+ sorptions on NaCLI exhibited a good fit to Freundlich model and Langmuir models. All metal exchanged minerals showed considerable superiority against E.Coli

The changing role of planners in local planning practices: A comparetive analysis of two planning studies of İzmir

Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, City and Regional Planning, Izmir, 2009Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 96-105)Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and Englishx, 107 leavesThe main goal of this thesis is to understand the changing role of urban planners in a historical perspective. Moreover, the historical perspective of the role of planners is investigated parallel to the changes in planning. To understand the role of planners, especially in the planning practices of Turkey, the period before and after the 1980s are examined. Initially, planning theories and relevant theoretical studies as well as case studies from around the world are analyzed in terms of the role of planners. To understand the role of planners before and after the 1980s, two comprehensive planning studies are selected from İzmir, Turkey. One of them is the 1973 Master Plan prepared by İzmir Metropolitan Planning Office and the other is the 2007 Master Plan prepared by İzmir Metropolitan Municipality. The in-depth interview method with the planning staff is used as the methodology of the thesis
