EXAMINATION OF PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS' SENSITIVITIES AND OPINIONS ON CULTURAL HERITAGE

Abstract This research, which was conducted examine primary school students' sensitivities and opinions on cultural heritage, was carried out with a mixed method. The study group, determined by the convenience sampling method, consists of 227 primary school 3rd and 4th grade students primary schools in Yozgat. The data of the research were collected with the "Cultural Heritage Sensitivity Scale" developed by Halaç, Gürdoğan-Bayır and Çengelci-Köse (2021) and the "Open Ended Questionnaire Form" developed by researcher. SPSS program was used in the analysis of the quantitative data, and the descriptive analysis technique was used in the analysis of the qualitative data. As a result of the research; It was concluded that primary school 3rd and 4th grade students' sensitivity cultural heritage was at the level of "totally agree". It was found that the students' sensitivity to cultural heritage showed a significant difference in favor of female students according to the gender variable, but did not show a significant difference according to the class and family type variable. In addition, it was concluded that while the students' sensitivity to cultural heritage did not show a significant difference according to the mother's education level variable, it showed a significant difference according to the father's education level variable. It was found that the students expressed their opinions on both tangible and intangible cultural heritage elements in their opinions on cultural heritage.

PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS’ VIEWPOINTS ON READING COMPREHENSION DIFFICULTIES OF 3RD AND 4TH GRADE PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS

The purpose of the present study is to determine the viewpoints of primary school teachers on difficulties experienced by 3rd and 4th grade primary school students in reading comprehension. The study was planned in Phenomenology Design, which is one of the Qualitative Research Methods. The study group consisted of 25 primary school teachers working at 7 primary schools in the city center of Bayburt. The sampling of the study was determined with the Criterion Sampling Method, which is one of the Purposeful Sampling Methods. Semi-structured Interview Forms were used for data collection. The Descriptive Analysis Methods were used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the study, it was concluded that difficulties in reading comprehension appeared in the form of difficulties in answering questions after reading a text; the cause of the difficulty in reading was students’ not focusing on the meaning; and teachers conducted plenty of activities suitable for the levels of students to overcome the difficulties in reading.   Article visualizations

Effect of thermomechanical processing on the mechanical properties of CuZn10 alloy

The effects of thermomechanical processing on the grain size, tensile strength, and strain rate of a CuZn10 alloy were investigated. Microstructures of thermomechanically treated samples were introduced using a scanning electron microscope. The relationships between the flow stress, reduction ratio, annealing temperatures, and strain rates were detected for determination of activation energies and optimized thermomechanical parameters. The effect of grain size on the mechanical properties was examined by tensile and microhardness tests. The typical fractographs of samples after tensile tests were examined using a scanning electron microscope. It was observed that the annealing temperature and aging time have significant effects on the optimum grain size. Mechanical properties of the thermomechanically treated samples were improved by strain rate, deformation ratio, annealing temperature, and aging time

Coronary flow reserve is also impaired in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism

The diagnosis of subclinical hypothyroidism and detection of its effects on cardiovascular system is important. Also, the patients with subclinical hypothyroidism even at the very early stage are at increased risk for developing atherosclerosis. We evaluated coronary microvascular circulation and endothelial dysfunction of epicardial coronary arteries by the measurement of coronary flow velocity reserve via a non invasive technique, transthoracic Doppler echocardiography in subclinical hypothyroidism. Coronary flow reserve in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism such as in overt hypothyroidism was lower than that of euthyroid subject. As a conclusion, endothelial and microvascular dysfunction, which are early harbingers of atherosclerosis, are shown in overt and subclinical hypothyroidism. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
