- MakaleYalnız künye2023Scopus SJRQ3Uncovering the gap between intention and behaviour towards knowledge sharing: Evidence from a hybrid healthcare institution
Uyan, Umut; Şanal, Musa
This study set out to test an integrative model towards knowledge sharing (KS) practices in health institutions, which have recently been referred to as knowledge-intensive organisations. The model assesses the relative contributions of various organisational and relational factors in explaining knowledge sharing intention (KSI), as well as the moderating effects of both socio-cognitive factors and the nature of knowledge to be shared on the relationship between KSI and knowledge sharing behaviour (KSB). The data utilised in the research were obtained from a health institution designed as a public-private partnership through the survey questionnaires. Findings suggest that highly formalised and hierarchical organisational structures negatively affect KSI, whereas constructive communication climate and organisational integration enhance it. The relationship between facilitating tools and technologies, which is the last of the organisational factors examined, and KSI was non-significant. Two out of the three relational factors, trust and affiliation, positively predicted KSI, but no statistically significant relationship was found between normative beliefs and KSI. Finally, the results suggest that the perceived reciprocity eases the translation of the intention towards KS into actual sharing behaviour, whereas the perceived power loss weakens the mentioned relationship.

Gulcicek, Demet
Drawing on archival research, Travelling Theory and Women’s Movements in Turkey examines the imagination of Europe in the context of women’s rights movements in a self-defined non-European setting. It brings travelling theory, poststructuralist feminist theories and orientalist studies together to provide an original theoretical framework for understanding the complex and often contradictory imaginations of Europe. Such imaginations can be an object of desire, fantasy, hate and hostility in a non-European context. This volume sheds light on the manner in which local power dynamics are reproduced, negotiated and subverted during the travel of women’s and feminist movements. With a focus on the late Ottoman Empire, the book questions how ‘Other’ positions can be inhabited by the ‘Self’ and unpacks sexual and normative dimensions of demanding women’s rights in this context. As such, it will appeal to scholars of sociology, cultural studies and gender studies with interests in feminist theory and notions of European and non-European categories.

Aykac, Yunus Emre; Yucesan, Melih; Gul, Muhammet
Solar energy stands out with its increasing potential in the world. The decision to choose the location of a solar power plant is very important due to the investment return. In this study, a solar power plant site selection for Tunceli, Turkey is studied with a two-stage multi-criteria decision-making approach. In the first stage, the importance levels of the determined nine factors are obtained by the best-worst method (BWM). In the second stage, the most appropriate site is selected among the eight districts of Tunceli. As a result of the first stage, solar and fault line emerged as the most and least important factor, respectively. The second stage showed that Pertek district is the most suitable place. A comparative framework has been created including five different MCDM methods, which strengthens the final decision's accuracy and reveals whether each method's results are correlated.

Gönen, Tahir; Cemalgil, Selim
Concrete quality is affected by many factors such as mixing ratios, material quality, transporting, placing and curing. One of the crucial factors that changes the compressive strength of concrete is aggregate which makes up 75% of concrete during concrete production. Properties of aggregate are more unstable than other materials depending on various reasons. Granulometry, moisture or organic substance amount of the aggregates which have same origin may differ within time. This study investigates physical and mechanical properties of crushed limestone and crushed river aggregates. It is on optimum design of concrete with crushed limestone and crushed river aggregates. At first, physical and mechanical properties of the aggregates are measured, then Taguchi method is applied. Test variables are water-to-binder ratio, cement dosage, river sand ratio to limestone and air entrained agent. L16 orthogonal array as an experimental design method is applied to determine the optimum concrete design in terms of compressive strength and flexural strength. Furthermore, contribution of variables on compressive and flexure strength is determined statically by using ANOVA method. Among the 4 different aggregate ratios evaluated in the study, the best performance is from the combination of 70% stream and 30% limestone. The weakest performance is from the series that do not contain any stream material.

Ozdemir, Umit; Mete, Suleyman; Gul, Muhammet
Today, it is vital for humanitarian organizations operating in many different fields to select volunteers from the determining criteria according to the needs of the institution. Failure to select volunteers in accordance with the institution's needs may cause the volunteers to be unable to continue their duties and interrupt the institution's work. When choosing volunteers, it is essential for effective volunteer management to classify (expert, experienced, inexperienced, and insufficient) them according to the institution’s needs and assign them starting from the volunteer in the best class volunteer when necessary. The aim of this study is to determine the criteria weights in the classification of volunteers who want to participate in search and rescue activities in humanitarian aid organizations according to the criteria determined before their assignment. In this study, a questionnaire is applied to field experts in Turkey to determine the most important and least important criteria, then criteria weights are calculated by using the Best-Worst Method (BWM). The findings obtained as a result of our study are evaluated and suggestions are made on how to improve it for future studies.

Polat, Berivan Yilmazer; Savaş, Sedat; Polat, Alper
Anti-tank weapons are among the infantry weapons used by the armies of many countries. Anti-tank rockets and explosives such as TNT, generally used for armour piercing, are also frequently used in terrorist attacks. These attacks damage the protection facilities built from reinforced concrete. Rockets or similar explosives’ rapid speed and burst temperatures pierce reinforced concrete during strikes, resulting in casualties and damage to crucial strategic structures. This study aimed to devise an economic and applicable reinforced concrete plate that could absorb the impact of anti-tank rockets and Trinitrotoluene (TNT) type explosives. Therefore, 5 different samples, produced from C50 reinforced concrete and 150×150 cm in size, were formed by combining plates of different numbers and thicknesses. Also, a sample, which was a single thick plate, was prepared. In destructive testing, Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG-7) was used as the anti-tank rocket launcher. As a result of this study, the impact damage was reduced with hollow concrete plate geometries, and recommendations were developed for complete prevention.

Torgut, Gulben; Ayhan, Nagihan Karaaslan; Acikses, Aslisah
The precipitation method was adapted to synthesize the poly(ε-caprolactone-copolymer- ethylene oxide) (ε-CL-co-EO) composite with the salt of lanthanum (La), a rare earth element. This salt was incorporated into the polymer of different weight percentages to study how it affects the thermal and dielectric properties of the polymer. The resulting products were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetric analysis. XRD and SEM data show that the polymer mixes homogeneously with the metal salt. Thermal degradation data show that the thermal stability of composites synthesized with La is lower than that of pure polymer. The dielectric properties and A.C conductivity measurements of the composites were investigated by using impedance analyzer in the frequency range (100 Hz to 20 kHz) at room temperature. The electrical property results of (ε-CL-co-EO)/La composites displayed that dielectric constant (έ), dielectric loss (ε"), tan delta (tan δ) and A.C electrical conductivity (σac) increase with increasing La content. The largest conductivity of (ε-CL-co-EO)/La composite filled with 20 wt% La was 8.80 × 10−8 S/cm, which was 162% times pure (ε-CL-co-EO). In addition, impedance (IZI) of composites was evaluated from the dielectric data. This procedure is eco-friendly and easy to handle, which provides a promising route to polymer composites in the application of the conductivity field.

The world has recently tended to turn to renewable energy sources due to the serious negative impact of fossil fuels on the environment. One of the top priorities for solar energy is the selection of the most suitable location of the solar power plant to be established. In this study, the most suitable solar power plant location selection for Tunceli, a province located in the eastern part of Turkey, is studied with an approach based on Geographic Information System (GIS) and the best-worst method (BWM). A weighting was performed using the BWM model for 16 sub-criteria under four the main criteria of “climatic conditions, geographical conditions, land conditions, and location (distance to crucial points)”. Afterward, maps were created for these criteria, and a 6-point scale in the legends of each map for each sub-criteria was applied. Finally, the most suitable locations were determined with GIS-based calculations.

A Nafion–titanium (IV) oxide-graphene modified glassy carbon electrode (n-TiO2-GR/GCE) was used for the electrochemical determination of bisoprolol fumarate (BF). The modified electrode was prepared by depositing Nafion–titanium (IV) oxide-graphene onto the glassy carbon electrode by simple drop-casting. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and square wave voltammetry (SWV) were used in the electrochemical determination of bisoprolol fumarate. The linear working range of bisoprolol fumarate for n-TiO2-GR/GCE DPV was from 3.0 × 10−7 to 5.0 × 10−6mol L−1 and the detection limit was 1.01 × 10−7mol L−1. In addition, with this developed method, the determination of bisoprolol fumarate in tablets was successfully performed with a recovery of 98.65%.

Recently, there has been a great demand for boron-containing compounds (BCCs) with unique biological properties. The demand for the use of these compounds not alone but as additives in composite materials is increasing day by day. In this study, the effect of adding B2O3 compound to the blend of PLA and PEG polymers, which is an important biocompatible shape memory polymer, was investigated. In order to examine the effect of increasing B2O3 additive on the thermal properties of PLA-PEG blend, it was determined by using a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), and it was seen that while the melting temperature of PEG decreased, the melting temperature of PLA increased. In addition, when the thermal stability of the composites was examined, increasing of thermal stability was observed with the addition of B2O3 and a three-step degradation occurred. It was determined that the B2O3/PLA-PEG composite was homogeneous by taking X-ray measurements and SEM measurements. The antimicrobial property of the PLA-PEG blend improved with the increasing B2O3 contribution were observed from the antimicrobial activity measurements of the composite against 4 different bacteria. However, it was determined that the PLA-PEG blend preserved its shape memory effect with increasing diboron trioxide contribution.

Fırat, E.
An experimental investigation has been undertaken to determine the effects of plain and notched base flaps on the drag performance of simplified tractor-trailer combination without any intermediate gap, Generalized European Transport System (GETS). Both plain and notched base flaps are rigid, made up of three identical flaps whose length is equal to the width of the GETS model, and not angled inward or outward. The experiments examined three-sided flap configurations corresponding to various combinations of seven heights of the plain part (from 10 to 40 mm in steps of 5 mm), four notch amplitudes (from 2.5 to 10 mm in steps of 2.5 mm), and five notch wavelengths (from 10 to 50 mm in steps of 10 mm). It is shown that the drag performance of the plain flap at zero yaw highly depends on the height of the plain flap. The maximum drag reduction occurs for e/w=0.1 yielding a drag reduction of 1.9% when compared to the GETS model without flap (baseline GETS). It was shown that the time-averaged drag coefficient increased slightly until a maximum was reached at e/w=0.3 but then decreased slightly with increasing e/w. Under zero yaw angle conditions, GETS model with a notched base flap, e10-a05.0-λ20, gives the lowest drag. The addition of this base flap to the GETS model resulted in a 2.8% drag reduction. This notched base flap was shown to be more effective not only at reducing <CD> under yawed flow conditions tested but also at reducing time-averaged side coefficient under yawed flow conditions tested, compared to the e10-a00.0-λ00 flap

Introduction: In this study, we aimed to investigate the selfitis behaviors and self-esteem of nursing and medical technology students. Material and Methods: This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 612 students studying in the departments of nursing and medical technology at a university in eastern Turkey. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal Wallis test were carried out. Results: The participants were between the ages of 18 and 24. Most of the participants in both department groups were women. More than 90% of the participants in both groups were using social media. It was determined that they used WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter most, and they took selfies for sharing these selfies with their friends on social media. A statistically significant negative correlation was found between the selfitis behaviors of the participants and their self-esteem levels. Conclusion: The nursing and medical technology students who participated in this study had moderate levels of selfitis behaviors and self-esteem, and there was a negative relationship between these two variables. To facilitate the socializing of students in real life, we recommend that their family and close circle support be increased. We recommend raising awareness on print and visual media regarding problematic social media usage behaviors.

Synthesis of five different new compounds (1-5) were carried out. Their structures were characterized by spectroscopic methods such as Fourier transform infrared, Proton nuclear magnetic resonance, Carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance and Elemental analysis. Cytotoxic activities of five new sulfonamide based-Schiff base compounds were determined by MTT assay using A-2780 (human ovarian cancer) and MCF-7 (breast cancer) cell lines. LogIC50 values of the sulfonamide derivates compounds were calculated by Graphpad Prism 12 programme after a 24-hour treatment for A2780 and MCF-7 cells. Comet assay experiments were performed to determine DNA damage using LogIC50 concentrations of all compounds in A2780 and MCF-7 cells. All compounds significantly reduced A2780 and MCF-7 cell viability compared to control groups (p < 0.05). In addition, all compounds caused DNA damage in A2780 and MCF-7 cells (p < 0.05). These results show that the synthesized compounds exhibit cytotoxic effects against cancer cells and that the cause of cell death is due to DNA damage. Communicated by Ramaswamy H. Sarma.

In this study, chitosan (C)/gelatin(G)/starch(S) composites incorporated pineapple peel extract (PPE) and aloe vera gel (AVG) were prepared by the casting method as antioxidant agents. Mechanical, water vapor permeability (WVP), moisture content, solubility, opacity, and color properties of the effects of PPE and AVG at different concentrations (0%, 10%, and 30%) were investigated. The prepared films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy in attenuated total reflection (ATR-FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), mechanical, water barrier, opacity, and color. PPE and AVG extract incorporated edible films improved thermal stability of edible films. Tensile strength decreased with the addition of extracts; the maximum tensile strength was 8.15 MPa for CGS film. The WVP of the films increased with the increasing PPE and AVG concentration. As a biological activity, the films inhibited the growth of gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) and gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli). With the addition of PPE and AVG to the CGS film, its antioxidant properties were enhanced. In addition, the prepared films were applied for strawberry coating both in the refrigerator and at room temperature. Consequently, these edible-coated films can be used for active food packaging/coating to extend the shelf life of fruits.

Akkurt, Nevzat; Shedd, Tim; Memon, Abid Ali; Usman; Ali, Mohamed R.; Bouye, Mohamed
After introducing the advantage of nanofluids for optimizing heat transfer, many research articles have been written considering the different types of domains. In our article, we will observe the turbulent transport of a hybrid mixture through the three-dimensional L-shaped channel to analyze the characteristic of heat generation via forced convection. The hybrid nanofluid is composed of aluminum oxide copper (Cu) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3), which will be present in the base fluid by the volume fraction of 5%, 15%, 25%, and 35% in the base fluid (water). To analyze the forced convection, the Reynolds number (Re) will be kept at 10,000 to 40,000. The simulation will be developed using the three-dimensional κ-ϵ turbulence model and energy equations via COMSOL Multiphysics 5.6. The numerical outcomes will be verified using the literature's correlations for the average Nusselt number. It was found that the average Nusselt number at the mid of the channel is increased by increasing the volume fractions of both aluminum oxide and copper, but the rate of increase because of copper is greater than the rate of increase because of aluminum oxide. The study also suggests that to get more benefit from the transport of a hybrid mixture, keep the Reynolds number high. The temperature along the channel length is the function of mean thermal diffusivity, which is directly proportional to the volume fractions of the hybrid mixture.

Say, Y.; Aslan, N.; Alla, A.M.A.; Özmen, H.
Different surface treatments are applied to improve the surface properties of metallic biomaterials. Chemical etching is one of the common techniques used for roughening the surface. In this regard, the effects of different chemical media on the surface roughness, degradation, and ion release of 316L SS steel were investigated in this study. The 316L SS steel was exposed to chemical etching in six different chemical media including HNO3, H2SO4, HCl, HClO4, NaOH and Na2CO, at four different concentrations (1, 2, 4, and 8 Molar), and at three immersion times (10, 60, and 180 min). SEM, EDS, and XRD analyses were used to examine the morphological and chemical impacts of chemical etching on sample surfaces, and roughness was measured on all sample surfaces. The effect of surface treatment on the degradation and ion release of the samples was comparatively examined. Characterization analyses indicated that the HNO3, H2SO4, and HCl media did not cause a significant reaction on the surface of the 316L SS. On the other hand, different phases were observed on the sample surfaces exposed to HClO4, NaOH, and Na2CO3 media. It was determined that the roughness had no linear correlation with the concentration and immersion time, and similarly, the degree of degradation and amount of ion release displayed no change depending on the roughness. Samples etched in H2SO4, HClO4, NaOH and Na2CO3 provided the highest roughness. It was found that H2SO4 caused a significant increase in the amount of ion release.
