  • Ties to Technoparks and University Characteristics in Turkey
    Volume 8, Number 1, 2021, 97{117 journal homepage: region.ersa.org DOI: 10.18335/region.v8i1.300 ISSN: 2409-5370 Linking the Performance of Entrepreneurial Universities to Technoparks and University Characteristics in Turkey Tuzin Baycan1, Gokcen Arkali Olcay2 1 Istanbul Technical University, Istanbul, Turkey 2 Gebze Technical University, Gebze, Turkey Received: 10 January 2020/Accepted: 2 December 2020 Abstract. Universities' third mission of knowledge commercialization imposes them a core role towards becoming entrepreneurial universities in the triple helix interacting with the government and industry. Entrepreneurial universities have crucial functions of providing entrepreneurial support infrastructure for innovation and engaging in the regional economy. Technoparks, in that sense, form an essential channel for universities to disseminate and commercialize the knowledge considering their geographical proximity and facilitating mechanisms. Measuring the performances of entrepreneurial universities and technoparks in quantitative metrics have been initiated by different government agencies in Turkey, which resulted in two different indices. The Most Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index and the Performance Index for Technoparks track performances annually. Using the data provided by the two indices, this study explores how the technoparks' performance can be linked to the universities' scores in entrepreneurship and innovation, along with some university-specific characteristics and their interactions. The geographical proximity provided by the technoparks contributes to the performance of entrepreneurial universities. While the increasing university size has a negative effect on university entrepreneurial scores, the socio-economic development factor of the region positively contributes to the scores. Young universities are also found to benefit more from the large share of the graduate students of their student composition on university entrepreneurship and innovation scores.

  • The Evaluation of Architectural Education in the Scope of Sustainable Architecture
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences 89 ( 2013 ) 496 – 508 2nd Cyprus International Conference on Educational Research, (CY-ICER 2013) The Evaluation of Architectural Education in the Scope of Sustainable Architecture İzzet Yükseka* aKırklareli University, Faculty of Technical Education, Kavaklı Campus, Kavaklı, Kırklareli, 39060, Turkey Abstract In this study, examining the course contents (syllables) in undergraduate and graduate degrees in the departments of architecture at universities in Turkey, the extent they give place to the sustainability issues has been determined. A literature survey dealing with the topic was made, the studies carried out were analysed, and the current situation was compared with the results of these studies. In conclusion, the courses of “sustainable architecture” content in the course syllabuses have increased, but this improvement has been quite incomplete. © 2013 TheThe Authors. Authors.

Introduction The way of our and future generations’ sustaining life conditions in the natural balance of nature or at least protecting the present day situation passes through increasing our environmental sensitivity. The building sector, which consumes a significant part of the world’s existing sources, should also be a pioneer to other disciplines. The architect who designs the artificial sites we will live in the future should consider building as a part of the natural environment not as a single component.

  • A Performance Assessment Model Recommended for Higher Education System in Turkey and a Case Study
    Psychology Research, October 2019, Vol. 9, No. 10, 420-431 doi:10.17265/2159-5542/2019.10.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING A Performance Assessment Model Recommended for Higher Education System in Turkey and a Case Study Hasan Tosun Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, Turkey There are so many university ranking systems for academic performance as based on different criteria in the world. These systems, which have been considered since beginning of 2000’s years, have quickly followed with their own hierarchical measures by higher education organizations. This paper mentions the main principles of a new system for university performance in Turkey and summarizes the study, which was made for the performance of selected universities throughout country. The system depends on teaching income, teaching structure, teaching quality, number of publications and projects, the index for entrepreneurial and innovative university, and student satisfaction. The aim is to provide a comparative study with well-balanced and justice decision for the related universities. This study includes the 10 universities (Anadolu, Çukurova, Cumhuriyet, Dicle, Erciyes, Fırat, İnönü, Ondokuz Mayıs, Selçuk, and Uludağ) which were founded between 1973 and 1978. In this study, data belonging to the period of 2010 and 2014 have been considered for the related universities. This study indicates that enlargement rate, localization, politicization, and degradation on management system influence the performance of universities. Keywords: academic performance, teaching, higher education, ranking system, university Introduction Universities in developed countries, rather than the institutions that carry out classical education and training services, mostly transform to the research organizations integrated with the industry and producing information (Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development [OECD], 2013).

  • Lack of Any Relationship Between ABO and Rh Blood Groups and Clinicopathological Features in Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Turkish Oncology Group
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2012.13.8.4129 ABO and Rh Blood Groups and Clinicopathological Features of Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors in Turkey RESEARCH ARTICLE Lack of Any Relationship between ABO and Rh Blood Groups and Clinicopathological Features in Patients with Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumors: Turkish Oncology Group Yüksel Ürün1, Güngör Utkan1, Şuayib Yalçın2, Hasan Şenol Coşkun3, Murat Koçer4, Nuriye Yıldırım Özdemir5, Mehmet Ali Kaplan6, Ülkü Yalçıntaş Arslan7, Feyyaz Özdemir8, Derya Öztuna9, Hakan Akbulut1, Fikri İçli1 Abstract Background: An association between the ABO blood group and the risk of certain malignancies, including pancreatic and gastric cancer, has been reported previously. However, it is unclear whether this association is valid for gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). In this study, ABO blood groups and the Rh factor were investigated in a series of GIST cases. Material and Methods: In 162 patients with GIST, blood group and Rh factor were examined and compared with a control group of 3,022,883 healthy volunteer blood donors of the Turkish Red Crescent between 2004 and 2011. The relationship of blood groups with tumor size, mitotic activity, and age were also evaluated. Results: Overall, the ABO blood group and Rh factor distributions of the 162 patients with GIST were similar to those of the general population. There were no significant differences between both ABO blood types and Rh factor in terms of tumor size, mitotic activity, and age. Conclusion: This is the first study reported on this issue. In our study, we didn’t find any relationship between GIST and ABO blood group and Rh factor.

  • Pattern of Disease Onset, Diagnostic Delay, and Clinical Features In
    Pattern of Disease Onset, Diagnostic Delay, and Clinical Features in Juvenile Onset and Adult Onset Ankylosing Spondylitis SALIH OZGOCMEN, OZGE ARDICOGLU, AYHAN KAMANLI, ARZU KAYA, BEKIR DURMUS, KADIR YILDIRIM, OZLEM BAYSAL, ALI GUR, SALIHA KARATAY, ZUHAL ALTAY, REMZI CEVIK, AKIN ERDAL, YUKSEL ERSOY, AYSEGUL J. SARAC, IBRAHIM TEKEOGLU, MAHIR UGUR, KEMAL NAS, KAZIM SENEL, and HASAN ULUSOY ABSTRACT. Objective. To assess the frequency of juvenile onset ankylosing spondylitis (JOAS) in Turkish patients with AS and to compare with adult onset AS (AOAS) in a cross-sectional study design. Methods. A total of 322 patients were recruited from the joint database of 5 university hospitals in eastern Turkey. Results. Patients with JOAS (n = 43, 13.4%) had significantly longer diagnostic delay (9.21 vs 5.08 yrs), less severe axial involvement and more prevalent uveitis (OR 2.92, 95% CI 1.25–6.79), and peripheral involvement at onset (OR 3.25, 95% CI 1.51–6.98, adjusted for current age; and OR 2.26, 95% CI 1.07–4.76, adjusted for disease duration). Patients with AOAS had higher radiographic scores and more restricted clinimetrics but similar functional limitations and quality of life. Conclusion. JOAS and AOAS had distinctive courses and Turkish patients with AS had similar fea- tures compared to other Caucasian patient populations. (First Release Nov 1 2009; J Rheumatol 2009;36:2830–3; doi:10.3899/jrheum.090435) Key Indexing Terms: ANKYLOSING SPONDYLITIS JUVENILE ONSET ADULT ONSET DIAGNOSTIC DELAY Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory dis- with AS and determined the differences in clinical and radio- ease that mainly affects the sacroiliac joints and is charac- logical data and delay to diagnosis in JOAS versus AOAS.
