The Effect of Health Literacy Level on the Use of E-Health Applications

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to measure the effect of health literacy (HL) level on the level of use of e-health applications among public employees, excluding health workers serving directly to the public and working in public institutions in the downtown area of Yozgat, Turkey. Methods: The study is cross-sectional and was conducted in 2021 among public employees. 476 public personnel working in state institutions in the city center participated in the study. Chi-square test, t-test, ANOVA, and multinomial logistic regression were used to evaluate the data. Results: Of the participants, 64.3% of them were male, 74.9% were married, 45.3% were in the 30-39 age group, and 60.9% were undergraduates. It was observed that 21.5% of the people in the research group had insufficient health literacy (SSL), 41.3% were problematic and 37.2% were sufficient. It was seen that the most used E-health application was E-pulse with 84.9%, followed by Life Fits into Home (LFH) and Central Physician Appointment System (CPAS) (64.3%), and the lowest was the hospitals' online systems (29.1%). The use of E-Nabız (e-Pulse) and E-Devlet (e-Government) SSI applications according to HL level was not found to be statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: The vast majority of public employees use E-Pulse, and approximately 2/3 of them use LFH and CPAS. Less than half of the participants in the study had a sufficient health-literacy level, and the effect on e-Health practices was not found significant

Towards achieving net zero emission targets and sustainable development goals, can long-term material footprint strategies be a useful tool?

This study analyzes material footprint (MF), which can be essential in achieving net zero emission targets and sustainable development goals for EURO-26 countries. Increasing the efficiency of MF rather than domestic material consumption is more effective in reducing emissions. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between MF, economic growth, and CO2 emissions for EURO-26 countries. For empirical analysis, second-generation panel cointegration tests and long-term coefficient estimators, which consider the cross-sectional dependence, are employed. The empirical results indicate that (i) there is a long-term relationship between the variables and (ii) MF increases the CO2 emissions. However, the positive relationship between economic growth and CO2 emissions is statistically insignificant. According to the individual results, while the impact of MF on CO2 emissions is negative in developed countries, MF increases CO2 emissions in developing countries in general. Overall findings reveal that long-term material footprint strategies should be implemented in EURO-26 countries and material footprint policies can be used as a strategic tool to achieve net zero emission targets and sustainable development goals (SDGs)

ORDER BASED EMIGRANT CREATION STRATEGY FOR PARALLEL ARTIFICIAL BEE COLONY ALGORITHM

Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm inspired by the foraging behaviors of real honey bees is one of the most important swarm intelligence based optimization algorithms. When considering the robust and phase divided structure of the ABC algorithm, it is clearly seen that ABC algorithm is intrinsically suitable for parallelization. In this paper, we proposed a new emigrant creation strategy for parallel ABC algorithm. The proposed model named order based emigrant creation strategy depends on sending best food source in a subcolony after modifying it with another food source chosen sequentially from the same subcolony at each migration time. Experimental studies on a set of numerical benchmark functions showed that parallel ABC algorithm powered by the newly proposed model significantly improved quality of the final solutions and convergence performance when compared with standard serial ABC algorithm and parallel ABC algorithm for which the best food sources in the subcolonies directly used as emigrants

Assessing the diffusion of nanotechnology in Turkey: A social network analysis approach

This dissertation assesses the diffusion of nanoscience and nanotechnology in the scientific community in the last decade using Social Network Analysis (SNA) in Turkey. This dissertation aims to evaluate the flow of knowledge diffusion of nanotechnology among scientists by using ethnographic methods, co-words analysis and by focusing on an invisible college in the scientific community in terms of citation analysis in Turkey. A total of 10,062 articles and reviews were extracted from WoS (2664 between 2000 and 2005, and 7398 between 2006 and 2011) using a compound text query. Results compiled from co-authorship network analysis comprised a high closeness centrality indicating the small-world phenomenon which facilitates the diffusion of nano-related technology in Turkey. We discovered the scientists who are instrumental in the diffusion of nanotechnology knowledge in the network. We test the hypotheses that: (1) prolific authors stimulate the diffusion of nanotechnology in network structure; (2) dissemination of nanotechnology is more diffusive within sub-clusters than that of the whole network structure; and (3) taxonomy identified by co-word analysis in the research process matches the findings at the global level. Universities with the highest co-occurrence in terms of centralities in the network structure were studied. Then, we compared the results from each period to investigate the rate of diffusion of nano-related technology in Turkey. We found out that research on nano-related technology is done in a wide spectrum from Materials to Biomedical Sciences. Moreover, we found that TÜBİTAK and the Ministry of Development (MoD) have increased their funding support. We corroborate the findings by interviewing the key scientists or authors who are instrumental in the diffusion of nano-related technologies in Turkey. We collected and elaborated on 10 interviewees' responses using a qualitative method (Latent Semantic Analysis). Outcomes indicated that scientists' behavior who participated in interviews share similar patterns matching their co-authorship maps. It was concluded that the diffusion of nano-related technology is steadily progressing due to scientific collaboration among scientists through social network

Tezimizde, XVIII. yüzyılda Manisa'da tutulan şeri'yye sicillerinin ne olduğu, hangi konuları içerdiğini anlatmaya çalışacağız. Osmanlı toprakları içerisinde Manisa'nın siyasi, sosyal, ekonomik durumu hakkında şer'iyye sicilleri bize ışık tutacaktır. Bilindiği gibi şer'iyye sicilleri Osmanlı yönetim örgütü içinde kadı'nın mahkemede tuttuğu kayıtları içermektedir. Siciller bize hem devlet örgütünün işleyişi hem de sosyal hayat hakkında önemli bilgiler vermektedir. Şer'iyye sicilleri kadıların görevleri gereği mahkemede verdikleri hükümleri, merkezden gelen belgeleri, sorumlu oldukları önemli olayları kaydettikleri defterlerdir. Şer'iyye sicilindeki konular bir kaza ideresinde meydan gelebilecek konular ve tarihi gerçekleri kapsar. 181 nolu şer'iyye sicili farklı tarihleri ihtiva etmektedir. Bu defterde Lale devrininin sosyal ve ekonomik yapısı anlatılmıştır. 181 numaralı Manisa şeriye sicilinden, o dönemin ekonomik, sosyal, kültürel ve hukuku durumunu, askerlikle ilgili bilgileri, savaş öncesi ve sonrası toplumsal olaylarını çıkarmak mümkündür.Court registers are the notebooks in which Moslem judges recorded the orders they gave at the courts, the documents that came from the center and the important incidents they were responsible for. Court registers include the orders, nomination certificates, imperial orders, the registers of the important incidents that happened in the county, towns and villages where essays were traversed as scripts, verdicts by the courtregister judges and regents at the courts The subjects in the court registers include all kinds of incidents, regulations, historical facts that can happen in a county administration. It is possible to reveal out the economical, social, cultural and legal conditions, the information related to military service of that period, the social incidents before and after the war In this work, the introduction of Manisa Court Register Notebook that has the number 181, the evaluation of Manisa in which the register is recorded, the summary of the orders and the classification of these orders according to their subjects are done.

TIME AND FREQUENCY DEPENDENCY OF FOREIGN EXCHANGE RATES AND COUNTRY RISK: EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY

This study examines the time and frequency dependency nexus between foreign exchange (FX) rates and country risk in Turkey. We considered Turkey because it is a negative outlier country in terms of the progress of these indicators. Using quarterly data from 1990/Q1 to 2018/Q4 and the Wavelet Coherence approach, we find that an increase in the country risk causes an increase in the FX rates at different frequencies, especially in the medium and long term and different periods. The results highlight the significance of country risk for the progress of the FX rates. Policy implications are discussed
