2017 Medical Technologies National Conference, TIPTEKNO 2017 -- 12 October 2017 through 14 October 2017, Today, with the improvement of socioeconomic conditions, consumption of ready-To-eat foods increased and a more non-mobile lifestyle became widespread. Thus, the incidence of a number of metabolic problems together has begun to increase. These problems arise in the form of bodily changes, deterioration of glucose tolerance, disorders of fat metabolism and blood pressure elevation. It is called the 'metabolic syndrome'. The metabolic syndrome is a definition that emphasizes the importance of combining some risk factors that increase the development of cardiovascular disease and diabetes, not alone. The aim of this study is to develop a decision support system that helps the doctor working on the data obtained from the demographic and laboratory tests necessary for the diagnosis of the metabolic syndrome. By entering the data of the person through the developed user-interface; it is aimed to determine the risk factor of the person according to the analysis result. In this study, the program was run on the data of 56 patients including 34 female and 22 male, using Mamdani type fuzzy logic clusters in the LabVIEW platform. © 2017 IEEE.

2018 Medical Technologies National Congress, TIPTEKNO 2018 -- 8 November 2018 through 10 November 2018, Cognitive state of a person can be monitored by the use of brain electrical activity measurements (Electroencephalogram, EEG). In the concept of this study, it is aimed to classify EEG topographies using deep learning. Among the cognitive test paradigms, Stroop test with four colors is used to collect EEG from two participants. P300 and N400 components are selected as two classes. P300 topography is computed using the average of EEG from 280 to 320 ms after the stimuli while 380 to 420 time window is used for N400 topographies. After the EEG artefact rejection processes, 440 topograph images were used to train the deep network. Randomly selected 10 images that were excluded from training set were used for testing. All of the test images were correctly classified while 73% of the training set images were correctly classified. © 2018 IEEE.

24th Signal Processing and Communication Application Conference, SIU 2016 -- 16 May 2016 through 19 May 2016, In the last few decades, the relationship between the mental workload and electrophysiological measurements are being studied. The aim of this study is to measure the electrophysiological responses of the autonomic and central nervous system to the increased mental workload. In this concept, backwards counting paradigm is used to increase the mental workload while the brain electrical activity (EEG), hearth rate variability (HRV) and electrodermal activity has been measured synchronously. During the increased mental workload, EEG alpha band suppression and increased EDA were observed. On the other hand, hearth rate variability has not been changed with respect to paradigm. © 2016 IEEE.

This study deals with the distribution of the national wealth in Turkey according to the principles of democracy. National wealth can be formulated for use in the legal field as the sum of the previous year’s household assets and the assets of legal persons governed by public law added to the net national product of the current year. Democracy is the possibility for everyone to participate in politics (participation) with his or her differences (in his or her interests based on income, age, state of health and similar conditions and his or her ideology) and thus to have an influence in politics through his or her differences (pluralism). This study is based on the idea that the way which the national wealth is distributed must be brought up before anything else, in order to find out whether a state has a democratic nature or not. Indeed, everyone expects a better life from an organization like the state, and such a life satisfying all human needs such as housing, health, education, freedom, culture, green spaces has a monetary consideration.; Cette étude traite de la répartition de la richesse nationale en Turquie vis-à-vis des principes démocratiques. La richesse nationale peut être formulée à des fins d'utilisation dans le domaine juridique comme le total du patrimoine des ménages et des personnes morales de droit public de l’année précédente additionné au produit national net de l'année donnée. La démocratie exprime la possibilité pour chacun de participer à la politique (la participation) avec ses différences (dans ses intérêts- selon son revenu, son âge, son état de santé et des états similaires- et son idéologie) et d’avoir ainsi une influence en politique à travers ses différences (le pluralisme). Cette étude se base sur l'idée que doit être analysée avant tout la manière dont est répartie la richesse du peuple pour savoir si l'Etat revêt un caractère démocratique. En effet, l’attente de chacun d’une organisation comme l’Etat ne peut être qu’une meilleure vie et cette dernière satisfaisant tous les besoins des hommes tels que l’hébergement, la santé, l’enseignement, la liberté, la culture, les espaces verts a une contrepartie monétaire.

2014 22nd Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference, SIU 2014 -- 23 April 2014 through 25 April 2014 -- Trabzon, Kruskal's minimum spanning tree algorithm is a graph algorithm which constructs the tree with the minimum total edge length. The starting node of the tree generated by Kruskal's algorithm is not important. This is an advantage in diffusion tensor fiber analysis. In this study, a tractography approach, which does not depend on user selection, independent from a starting node, covers the whole region of interest, and calculates all the connectivity, is proposed. In this diffusion tensor tractography study, the advantages and limitations of the Kruskal's minimum spanning tree method are discussed, and a tractography algorithm based on this approach is developed. © 2014 IEEE.

Bu makalede, İstanbul‟un ekolojik yapısını genel hatlarıyla ve daha çok resmî kaynaklara dayanarak belirtmeye çalıştık. İstanbul‟un bu ekolojik yapısının sonucu olarak ortaya çıkan ve tarih boyunca İstanbul‟un birer simgesi haline gelen erguvan ağacından ve çiçeklerinden bahsettik. Bazı istisna devirler hariç idarî, ticarî, siyasî ve kültürel başşehir olma özelliğini hiçbir zaman kaybetmeyen İstanbul için tarım hiçbir dönemde önemli olmamış, İstanbullular gıda ihtiyaçlarını daha çok dışarıdan karşılamışlardır. İstanbullular için öncelik erguvan ağacı gibi görselliği öne çıkan ağaçlar ile lale gibi çiçekler olmuştur. Günümüzde İstanbul‟un bu sembollerinin tekrar hatırlanması ve yaşatılması için resmî kurumlar tarafından yapılan çalışmalar ve projeler, hem kültürel hem de ekonomik hayatımız için önemli olmakla birlikte, tarihî olarak sorumluluklarımız arasındadır.

2nd World Conference on Educational Sciences, WCES-2010 -- 4 February 2010 through 8 February 2010 -- Istanbul -- The present study aimed to investigate the effects of Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL) environments, on students' conceptual understanding of matter, scientific process skills and attitudes towards science. A teaching intervention was designed on the basis of IBL principles, which was put into practice in a 5th grade science class (n = 20). Instruction lasted 8 weeks in total as provided by normal science curriculum. The success of teaching intervention was tested via concept test, scientific process skills test and attitude scale. The findings indicated that IBL had a positive impact on students' conceptual understanding and scientific process skills, but did not make any difference on their attitudes towards science. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.
