Brain oscillations in neuropsychiatric disease
(2013-09) BAŞAR, EROL
The term “brain (or neural) oscillations” refers to the rhythmic and/or repetitive electrical activity generated spontaneously and in response to stimuli by neural tissue in the central nervous system. The importance of brain oscillations in sensory-cognitive processes has become increasingly evident. It has also become clear that event-related oscillations are modified in many types of neuropathology, in particular in cognitive impairment. This review discusses methods such as evoked/event-related oscillations and spectra, coherence analysis, and phase locking. It gives examples of applications of essential methods and concepts in bipolar disorder that provide a basis for fundamental notions regarding neurophysiologic biomarkers in cognitive impairment. The take-home message is that in the development of diagnostic and pharmacotherapeutic strategies, neurophysiologic data should be analyzed in a framework that uses a multiplicity of methods and frequency bands.

Brain's Alpha, Beta, Gamma, delta, and theta oscillations in neuropsychiatric diseases: Proposal for biomarker strategies
(2013) Başar Eroğlu, Canan; Güntekin, Bahar; Gülmen Yener, Görsev; BAŞAR, EROL
Brain oscillations have gained tremendous importance in neuroscience during recent decades as functional building blocks of sensory-cognitive processes. Research also shows that event-related oscillations (EROs) in "alpha," "beta," "gamma," "delta," and "theta" frequency windows are highly modified in pathological brains, especially in patients with cognitive impairment. The strategies and methods applied in the present report reflect the innate organization of the brain: "the whole brain work." The present paper is an account of methods such as evoked/event-related spectra, evoked/ERDs, coherence analysis, and phase-locking. The report does not aim to cover all strategies related to the systems theory applied in brain research literature. However, the essential methods and concepts are applied in several examples from Alzheimer's disease (AD), schizophrenia, and bipolar disorder (BD), and such examples lead to fundamental statements in the search for neurophysiological biomarkers in cognitive impairment. An overview of the results clearly demonstrates that it is obligatory to apply the method of oscillations in multiple electroencephalogram frequency windows in search of functional biomarkers and to detect the effects of drug applications. Again, according to the summary of results in AD patients and BD patients, multiple oscillations and selectively distributed recordings must be analyzed and should include multiple locations. Selective connectivity between selectively distributed neural networks has to be computed by means of spatial coherence. Therefore, by designing a strategy for diagnostics, the differential diagnostics, and application of (preventive) drugs, neurophysiological information should be analyzed within a framework including multiple methods and multiple frequency bands. The application of drugs/neurotransmitters gains a new impact with the analysis of oscillations and coherences. A more clear and differentiated analysis of drug effects can be attained in comparison to the application of the conventional wide-band evoked potential and event-related potential applications.

Collaborative Bilingual Teaching in Turkish EFL Context
(2018) Yılmaz, Melda; Dikilitaş, Kenan; 114284; 146362
The aim of this case study is to investigate the way of implication of collaborative bilingual teaching based on co-teaching model between English language teacher and content /class teacher in a private primary level school in Istanbul in the fall term of 2017-2018 academic year and to explore the perceptions and attitudes of the administrators and teachers related to this programme maintained in Turkish EFL context. During the bilingual collaborative teaching, each 1st grade class is staffed by two Turkish native teachers, a monolingual Turkish class teacher and a bilingual English language (L2) teacher, and the medium of instruction is both in the native language, Turkish, and the international language, English. In this study, qualitative research method was used and the data was collected by means of semi structured interviews with 4 administrators and 12 teachers and observations conducted in two classes where co-teaching bilingual education was operated. The data was analysed by means of inductive analysis, a bottom up approach. The analysis of the data revealed out information about the implementation of the programme and the teachers' practises based on different co-teaching roles, administrators and teachers' perceptions including the benefits of the collaborative bilingual education and the challenges faced in this programme and the future actions need to be taken for a successful bilingual education based on collaboration. Thus, the findings were categorized under three main themes: 1) Implementing Collaborative Bilingual Programme and Classroom Practices, 2) Administrators and Teachers' Perceptions, and 3) Future Actions (Actions Need to be Taken).

Correlation between social skills and emotional intelligence inregarding language learning competences
(2011) Ataç, Selçuk
As far as technical education is concerned the lack of motivation plays a significant role in terms of academic achievement and failure within the concept of language learning and teaching. In order to supply a valid source of reference for the language teacher, we, at the Vocational School of Technical Studies, have conducted a survey to find out the effects of emotional and social skills of the learners, paying particular attention to the academic achievement, emotional intelligence and social skills and found out that students with higher academic scores were also equipped with certain social skills like self esteem and empathy. While doing this literature on the area has been scanned and case studies have been performed and one to one interviews were used so as to reach formal quantitative results. This study aims at finding out the importance of social intelligence and emotional intelligence in terms of managing language learning process. To reach this goal, a research has been conducted on the students of (n=240) of two institutions of vocational education in Istanbul. In the research, participants' emotional intelligence was assessed by the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI, 2nd Version) developed by Boyatzis and Goleman and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA-scale) proposed by Hjemdal, Friborg, Martinussen, and Rosenvinge. According to the results, relationship was revealed among emotional intelligence, social intelligence and language learning.

How is the brain working? Research on brain oscillations and connectivities in a new "Take-Off" state
(2016-05) Düzgün, Aysel; BAŞAR, EROL
The present report is a trial to survey analysis and applications of brain oscillations in cognitive impairment for opening the way to a new take off in research on brain oscillation. Although the number of papers related to brain oscillations rapidly increases, it is important to indicate the common principles governing the functioning of brain oscillations in the brain and body. Research scientists need a global view on the types of analysis, applications and existing oscillations. Further, scientists dealing with brain oscillations must have some knowledge from theoretical physics, system theory, and also general philosophy. The neuroscientists working on brain oscillations can mentally integrate several papers in the present report, and try to discover new avenues to augment knowledge on brain functions. A new take off in the search of brain oscillations indicates the strong need to survey this brunch of neuroscience in a broad panoply of science. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

Orta Okul Öğretmenlerinin Sürdürülebilir Öfke Kontrolü Eğitimlerine Duydukları İhtiyaçların Nedenleri
(2018-07) Mertoğlu, Münevver; 165897
Why are Anger Management Programs Essential for Secondary and High School Teachers? Because uncontrolled anger can cause negative psychological, neurological, hormonal, environmental, and sociological effects on students, school managers and teachers need to be trained in solving the problems with the students without expressing anger. Doing so will provide a role model for their students at school and their own children at home. For these reasons, anger management programs will become essential for the teachers and managers to change their attitudes to improve the students' personal development and academic success. The aim of this research is to determine the reasons for the problems occurring at schools; secondly to take recommend changes to the schools system, and thirdly to facilitate the maintenance of these changes. In this research, The Trait Anger and Anger Expression Scales are applied to the personal and professional data of the teachers and managers that participated in the research. To analyze the data the Kruskal Wallis Test and statistical measures such as mean, median, and standard deviation were used. The results indicate that in general there is no significant relationship in gender, seniority and socioeconomic status, between the teachers; however, among the 6th, 7th and 8th grade teachers there is are meaningfully higher anger test points compared to primary and high school teachers. The external anger points are significantly lower among the teachers who like their profession versus those who do not like their profession. As a result, sustainable anger management programs at schools via seminars, or training sessions can contribute to changing teachers' ideas and attitudes towards their students by providing information about the nature of adolescence, and solutions to addressing the challenges of working with adolescents.

Review of Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma response oscillations in neuropsychiatric disorders
(2013) Güntekin, Bahar; BAŞAR, EROL
Method and concepts of brain oscillations pervade the neuroscience literature, especially in cognitive processes. Electrophysiological changes in patients with cognitive impairment will provide fundamental knowledge, not only for clinical studies but also, in turn, for understanding cognitive processes in healthy subjects. This review includes description of brain oscillations in schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. The reviewed publications include several methodological approaches: analysis of spontaneous electroencephalogram (EEG) spectra, evoked oscillations, event-related oscillations, and coherences both in spontaneous EEG and event-related oscillations. The review clearly shows that, in cognitive impairment, fundamental changes are observed in all diseases under study. Accordingly, oscillations can most probably be used as biomarkers in clinical studies. The conclusions of this review include several remarks indicating the nature of brain oscillations, their application to cognitive processes, and the usefulness of recording brain oscillations in memory loss, attention deficit, and learning.

Sub-similarity matching based on data mining with dihedral angles
(2013) Berki Çimen, Egemen; Akın, Fatih; Demirer, R. Murat
Protein sub-similarity matching remains largely unknown even though it is becoming one of the most important open problems in bioinformatics for drug and vaccine design. Variations in human immune responses to vaccines are, and thus responses, fail. We propose a new matching and protein alignment method based on clustering and Longest Common Subsequence (LCS) techniques. After clustering, we found LCS between a candidate protein and meningitis outer membrane antigen for each candidate. Each similarity was scored, and closest similarities were determined with statistical methods. We located three closely matching proteins among a total of 50 human immune system proteins. Moreover, we selected a HIV-1 related protein from one of scenarios, because it revealed a relationship between HIV and meningitis patients. We also found that Ω main chain torsion angle for atoms CA, C and N is the best angle for determining sub-similarities between meningitis antigen and immune proteins.

Türkiye’de Kadın Girişimciliği, Kadınları Girişimciliğe Yönelten Sebepler ve Sosyo-Ekonomik Yapılanmada Mevcut durum Analizi ile Kadın Girişimcilere Sağlanan Ulusal ve Uluslararası Destekler
(2019-06) Çeliköz, Selen; 141171
Kadın Girişimciliği; kadınların sosyo-ekonomik anlamda güçlenmesi, girişimcilik rolü üstlenebileceğiyle ilgili görüşü kapsayan girişimcilik çeşididir. Türkiye'de kadınları girişimciliğe yönlendiren nedenlerin başında ülkenin makroekonomik koşullarının hane halkı geliri üzerinde yarattığı olumsuz etkileri azaltmanın çabası gösterilebilir.Kadınların küçük işyeri kurma eğilimi çeşitli nedenlere dayanmaktadır. Birincisi, kadınların haneye ek gelir sağlamak amacıyla kendi niteliklerini kullanarak küçük iş yerleri kurmaları, İkincisi, hane gelirindeki azalmaya paralel olarak kadınların herhangi bir ücretli işte çalışma isteklerinin artışıdır. Ancak başvurulan işlere uygun eğitim ve becerisi olmayan kadınların iş bulamamaları kendi hesabına çalışma seçeneğini doğurmaktadır.Kadınları girişimciliğe yönlendiren faktörleri hem pozitif hem de negatif, kişisel ve dış koşulların etkili olduğu "iten ve çeken faktörler" olarak ayırıma tabi tutabiliriz. Negatif faktörler kadınları girişimciliğe iterken, pozitif faktörler kadınları girişimciliğe çekmektedir. Günümüzde, "mikro finansman sistemi" özellikle kırsal alanda geliri arttırmak ve istihdamı desteklemek üzere tasarlanmış birçok müdahale stratejilerinden biri olarak görülmektedir. Böylece zamanla özellikle kadınların kendi işine başlaması mikro finansman bir seçenek olarak da değerlendirilmektedir. Kadın girişimcilerin karşılaştıkları engel ve zorluklar erkek girişimcilere oranla oldukça yüksektir. Bunlar arasında"eğitim, kadınların toplumsal rolünün algılanışı, iş bağlantıları, aile tepkileri, iş yükü, aile içindeki güç ilişkileri" temel başlıklar olarak sıralanabilir.Kadın girişimciliğinin geliştirilmesine yönelik yapılan çalışmalar içerisinde kadın girişimcilere son dönemde sağlanan teşvikler, destekler, kadın girişimciliğinin gelişmesini sağlamaktadır.Bir vakıf üniversitesinde "Uygulamalı Girişimcilik Eğitimlerine" katılan kadın girişimci adaylar üzerine yapılan analiz çalışması ile 1980'li yıllardan itibaren Türkiye'de girişimcilik kültürünün gelişmesi ve önem kazanması sürecinde kadın girişimcilerin sayısının da hızla arttığı tespit edilerek profil çıkarımı yapılmıştır

Views of hayek, hebb, and heiisenberg:Toward an approach to brain functioning
(2011) BAŞAR, EROL
Purpose - The conceptual ideas of Hebb, Heisenberg, and Feynman are embedded in the framework Hayek's so-called New Psychology. The present survey tries to bridge these concepts. Methodology - A theoretical and empirical informed approach. Findings - The theory of D. O. Hebb opened the way to "Neurobiology of Learning" in the past century. The S-Matrix theory of Werner Heisenberg and the so-called Feynman Diagrams that consider everything in the path-history of particles opened up new avenues to predict production of elementary particles. This as Hayek proposed or assumed in his theoretical monograph The Sensory Order. Originality/value of paper - Besides Fuster and Edelman few (if any) currently practicing neuroscientists have any knowledge of or appreciation of Hayek's philosophical psychology.
