Endocrine Disruptors Attitude Scale: A Scale Development Study
(AVES, 2025) MİRAL, MUKADDES TURAN; Mamuk, Rojjin; Di̇şsi̇z, Melike; İşgüven, Şükriye Pınar
Objective: Endocrine disruptors are substances and mixtures that cause health problems in individuals and generations by affecting the endocrine system. There is no measurement tool for the assessment of people’s attitudes toward endocrine disruptors. The development of a valid and reliable measurement tool for the measurement of the attitudes of adult individuals toward endocrine disruptors is the aim of this study. Methods: This study with a methodological design was conducted with 366 participants who were at least 18 years old and literate in Turkish between December 01, 2021, and March 01, 2022, in İstanbul and Famagusta. To collect data, the “Participant Introduction Form” and “Endocrine Disruptors Attitude Scale” were used. Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, dependent samples t-test, Cronbach’s α internal consistency coefficient, and Pearson correlation analysis. Results: When the item–total score correlations of 35 items in the draft scale were examined, 14 items with less than 0.30 and negative values were excluded from the scale. The correlation coefficient of all the remaining items was positive and significant (P < .001). The difference between test and retest mean scores was not statistically significant (P > .05). Cronbach’s α reliability coefficient was determined as α = 0.81 for the Consumer behavior sub-dimension, α = 0.80 for Nutrition and hygiene, and α = 0.85 for the whole scale. Conclusion: The scale is concluded to be a reliable and valid tool and can be utilized for determining the determination of attitudes of adults toward endocrine disruptors.
Harmonic Close-to-Convex Mappings Associated with Salagean q-differential Operator
(Babes-Bolyai University, 2025) Mishra, Omendra; ÇETİNKAYA, ASENA; Sokol, Janusz
In this paper, we define a new subclass (Formula presented) of analytic functions and a new subclass (Formula presented) of harmonic functions (Formula presented) associated with Sălăgean q-differential operator. We prove that a harmonic function (Formula presented) belongs to the class (Formula presented) if and only if the analytic functions h+∊g belong to (Formula presented) for each ∊ (|∊| = 1), and using a method by Clunie and Sheil-Small, we determine a sufficient condition for the class (Formula presented) to be close-to-convex. We provide sharp coefficient estimates, sufficient coefficient condition, and convolution properties for such functions classes. We also determine several conditions of partial sums of (Formula presented).
A Bibliometric Analysis of Turkish Educational Sciences in the Context of Education and Science Journal
(Ozgen Korkmaz, 2025) MUHARREM, ALTUNIŞIK; Aktürk, Ahmet Oğuz
This study aims to provide a bibliometric overview of the publication and citation trends of the Education and Science Journal (ESJ), one of the most prestigious and longstanding international journals in the field of educational sciences in Türkiye, which has been in publication for 48 years since 1976. The study covers the period from 2007, when ESJ began to be indexed by Web of Science (WoS), to the present day, and it aims to provide researchers with insights and understanding specific to the journal regarding the current status and development of the field of educational sciences in Türkiye. Metadata for a total of 1270 articles published in the journal during this period were obtained from the WoS database. The study includes bibliometric analyses such as the total number of publications and citations, h-index, citations per paper, average number of citations per year, citation thresholds, and total link strength for ESJ between 2007 and 2022. In addition, the study presents visual maps that are generated on the basis of bibliometric mapping analysis conducted using VOSviewer software, including co-authorship, and co-occurrence of author keywords analyses. The results indicate that ESJ has significantly developed over time, enjoys a significant national authorship network, and that in recent years, researchers publishing in ESJ have been focusing on research topics such as action research, mixed methods, meta-analysis, middle school students, social sciences, and mathematical literacy.
Decision Support System for Store Location Selection in Retailing
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Döner, Zümra Begüm; Bütkül, Mehmet; Özcan, Tuncay; Konyalıoğlu, Aziz Kemal; APAYDIN, TUĞÇE
In the retail industry, many companies strive for excellence by increasing their productivity, aiming for more suitable target customers, etc. However, these are just a few of the examples that these companies need to consider while developing their business. Each decision must be well-analyzed and deeply investigated before execution, especially for the long-term decisions such as store location selection. For retailers, selecting an appropriate store location is rather complex due to occasion-specific micro and macro factors. Accordingly, this paper addresses this issue by, first, analyzing the literature about these factors. Then, appropriate methods are analyzed and chosen to form a structure for the suggested decision-making model. To apply these methods, which are Fuzzy AHP, TOPSIS, and set covering optimization model, a real bookstore is taken as an example with the appropriate data, and MS Excel and PYTHON are used to fully implement each method. Finally, all steps are combined to design the overall system, which acts as an information system, with its interface. Overall, this paper contains valuable insights about the retail environment, location selections and so forth. The decision support system designed in this paper should help retailers to make better location selection decisions, helping them also by reducing the amount of time and resources that they need to consume, ultimately benefiting the entire society by increasing the accessibility of goods and services.
Sözcük Ölümü ve Erinç Edatı Üzerine
(Türk Dil Kurumu, 2025) TÜRK, VAHİT
Bir dilde eş anlamlı sözlerin uzun süre bir arada yaşaması çok karşılaşılan bir durum değildir. Dillerde sözlerin kullanımdan düşmesinin çeşitli nedenleri vardır. Nedenlerden bir kısmıyla bütün dillerde karşılaşılır, bir kısmı ise dillerin kendi tarihiyle ilgilidir. Söz ölümü genellikle bir sözün anlam alanına dilin kendi kaynağından ya da başka bir dilden bir sözün girmesi nedeniyle olur. Ana yurttan ya da ana kitleden uzaklaşan kitlelerin dilinde zaman içinde değişmeler görülmeye başlanır ve bu durum lehçe oluşumlarının da asıl nedeni olur. Türk dili, sözcükleri öncelikle ad ve eylem olarak iki ana bölüme ayırır. Sıfat, zarf, zamir; sözcüklerin cümle içinde yüklendikleri görev adlarıdır. Türk dilinin yapısında edatın olmadığı, bu sözcük çeşidinin sonradan adlardan ya da eylemlerden türetildiği dilcilerin benimsediği bir görüştür. Edatlar, kalıplaşmış ve kendi başlarına anlam yükü olmayan ancak cümlenin anlamına katkısı olan sözlerdir. Erinç, Türk dilinin ana yardımcı eylemlerinden biri olan er- eyleminden türemiş, Bengü Taşlarda, Uygur ve Hakanlı metinlerinde karşılaşılan bir sözcüktür. Bu sözcüğün cümleye katkısı, anlama kesinlik ya da olasılık katmaktır. Hakanlı metinlerinden sonra yazı dilinde karşılaşılmayan bu sözcük yerini er- ve özellikle tur- eyleminin geniş zaman çekimli biçimlerine bırakmıştır. Bugünkü Türk yazı dillerinde de erinç sözünün cümleye kattığı işlevle turur biçiminden gelen -dIr bildirme ya da kuvvetlendirme eki kullanılmaktadır.
