Beypazarı, Kilci and Başören blind thrusts together with Erenler back Central Anatolia, Turkey thrust constitute the Beypazarı Blind Thrust Zone which is an active neotectonic structure as indicated by earthquake activity. NW-SE contraction created by the interaction between the North Anatolian Fault Zone, the Kırıkkale-Erbaa Fault Zone and the Eskişehir Fault Zone produced the Eldivan-Elmadağ Pinched Crustal Wedge, the Abdüsselam Received: 27.04.2016 Pinched Crustal Wedge and the Beypazarı Blind Thrust Zone. These structures take up the internal deformation of the Accepted: 08.09.2016 Anatolian Plate. 1. Introduction the right lateral North Anatolian Fault and the Eskişehir Fault. This NW-SE contraction produces Beypazarı flexure (Rondot, 1956; Kalafatçıoğlu the NE-SW trending thrust faults, folding axes and and Uysallı, 1964; Kavuşan, 1993a), later known as monoclines that most prominent one is named as the Beypazarı monocline (Yağmurlu et al., 1988; Demirci, Beypazarı-Çayırhan monocline. 2000) is one of the important structures in NW central Anatolia. The region between Beypazarı and Kavuşan (1993a), however, proposed that in Çayırhan were mainly investigated by geochemistry every stage of the Beypazarı-Çayırhan basin, NW- oriented studies due to lignite, trona and geothermal SE contraction was operational.

  • Dendrochronologically Dated Ottoman Monuments
    Dendrochronologically Dated Ottoman Monuments Peter Ian Kuniholm 4 Dendrochronologically Dated Ottoman Monuments Peter Ian Kuniholm INTRODUCTION Dendrochronology or tree-ring dating has been carried out by the author in former Ottoman lands since 1973. The method is, at its sim- plest, to compare the alternately small and large annual growth-rings from trees from a given climate region-in this case as far west as Bosnia and as far east as Erzurum-and to match them so that a unique year-by-year growth profile may be developed. By means of this a precise date determination, accurate even to the year in which the wood was cut, is possible. See Kuniholm (1995) for a fuller discussion of the method; and then see Kuniholm and Striker (1983; 1987) and Kuniholm (1996) for earlier date-lists of Ottoman, post-Byzantine, and Byzantine buildings, including brief notices of dates for a dozen more dated Ottoman buildings, principally in Greece, and additional notices of sampled but not yet dated buildings which are not repeated here. What follows is a compilation, in reverse chronological order, of over fifty dated buildings or sites (more if one counts their constituent parts) from the nineteenth century back to the twelfth (Figure 4.1). Some are major monuments (imperial mosques, sarays, sifayes) clearly deserving of more comprehensive treatment than can be pro- vided here; others (tiirbes, mescits, obscure medreses, and private houses) are little-known, perhaps even unheard of except to special- ists; but all help to form part of the tree-ring sequence which begins with the rings of trees still standing in Turkish forests and extends in an unbroken chain to A.D.360 for oak, A.D.743 for pine, and A.D.1037 for juniper.

  • The Obstacles on Woman's Path to School Administration
    Anatolian Journal of Education April 2020 ● Vol.5, No.1 e-ISSN: 2547-9652 www.e-aje.net pp. 105-118 The Obstacles on Woman’s Path to School Administration12 Semra Kıranlı Güngör Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Faculty of Education, Educational Sciences, Turkey, [email protected] Feride Meriçelli Teacher of English, Directorate of National Education, Turkey, [email protected] This study aims to determine the reasons why the number of the woman principals in school administration is low. The study was conducted in spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year with the participation of sixteen-man principals and fourteen-woman principals, serving in thirty public pre-schools, primary and secondary schools. The study was carried out by interview technique which is one of qualitative research methods. The content analysis of the data was carried out. The obstacles of woman principals to find place in administration stem from the eagerness of the women to be a principal. The mother roles, the household chores, the idea that the administration is suitable for the men, the women do not support their same gender are some of the obstacles for women not to prefer being principals. Even if women want to be principal, prejudge shown to them and the lack of confidence resulting from the prejudge cause the women work harder and consume away. It has been concluded that the social roles, the social culture, patriarchal structure and society, the queen bee syndrome and the glass ceiling syndrome are the reasons which prevent the women to go forward in administration. Keywords: education administration, woman principals, feminism, glass ceiling syndrome, queen bee syndrome INTRODUCTION Although women constitute half the population of the world and Turkey, they are not represented in the same proportion as men in economic activity and business life.

The temporal changes in the sinuosity and braiding characteristics of the river were determined for the periods 1987-2000 and 2000-13. The right and left shorelines of the Kizilirmak River and the shorelines of islands and bars within the river channel were extracted automatically from the satellite images by integrating the normalized difference water index (NDWI) and modified normalized dif- ference water index (MNDWI). The data required for measuring the sinuosity and braiding characteristics were obtained by evaluating the shorelines in the GIS environment. The braiding index (BI), braid-channel ratio (B), and braiding ratio (BR) were used to determine the braiding of the river, and the sinuosity index was used to determine the sinuosity of the river. The Kizilirmak River was divided into 21 analyzed sections based on the locations of dams. The sinuosity decreased in 15 sections in 1987-2000 and 2000-13. The BI, B, and BR values decreased in 11 sections in 1987-2000 and in 9 sections in 2000-13.
