Regional Development Oriented Mission Differentiation With the cooperation of the Council of Higher Education and the Ministry of Development, the program Regional Development-Oriented Mission Differentiation and Specialization was launched for the universities established after 2006 in order to increase the contributions of universities to the region where they are located and to encourage them to specialize in certain areas. In the 2016-2017 Academic Opening Ceremony, the President of the Republic was elected by the five pilot universities, including our university. 2. Specialization in Health and Environment Health: Traditional and Complementary Medicine SPECIALIZATION Environment: Recycling of Agricultural Wastes 3. Initial Studies: Propagation and Informative Meetings Cumayeri Cilimli Kaynasli Akcakoca Yigilca Provincial Council Bogaziçi Gumusova Golyaka Musiad In May 2017 the program was introduced in Düzce city center and in all districts, The regional development model by Traditional and Complementary Medicine was explained. 4. Specialization in Health: Traditional and Complementary Medicine Why Traditional and Complementary Medicine? Since our university was included in the program, the social, technological, economic and environmental factors of our region and the effects of these factors on the university were examined with internal and external stakeholders. As a result of the evaluations, the natural resources of Düzce and different plant species were found to be a good source for Traditional and Complementary Medicine. Furthermore, the fact that our university has an academic staff and an important infrastructure that can start to work in this field has played a role in the selection of this area. Because of the factors such as active participation of local people in the production of materials to be used in Traditional and Complementary Medicine studies, proximity to the metropolises of Ankara and Istanbul, low competitiveness in the fields of modern medicine, etc., Traditional and Complementary Medicine is the most appropriate option in the field of health.

The first earthquake rocked the Marmara Region of Turkey. The second earthquake occurred on the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ) with a macro-seismic epicentre near the town of Golcuk (Kocaeli Province) in the western part of Turkey. With a great deal of the emergency needs now met, the government, local and international agencies and NGOs are focussing their efforts from relief to recovery operations. There is currently a considerable need for reconstruction and rehabilitation projects targeting the most vulnerable communities and earthquake survivors. Over a year after the first earthquake, many families are just now beginning to rebuild their lives and return to a degree of normalcy. However, for many others still living in tents and makeshift shelters, the winter will continue to challenge their daily means of living and subsistence. One year after the earthquakes, The United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) conducted a needs assessment in the areas of Golcuk and Duzce which revealed that a large segment of the population is without any form of livelihood. A large proportion of the population in the earthquake-affected zones worked in factories prior to the earthquakes.

Comments on habitats, substrata, and key anatomical features are provided for each species. Key words — Ascomycota, lichens, lichenized fungi, biodiversity Introduction Turkish lichenology has a relatively short history compared to Europe and America. In the last 30 years, however, numerous papers have been published, including checklists of several regions in Turkey (e.g., John 2007, Halıcı & Aksoy 2009, Kınalıoğlu 2010a, Şenkardeşler 2011, Yazıcı et al. 2013, Kocakaya et al. 2014). About 1300 species of lichenized fungi are known from Turkey, but unfortunately there is no checklist of the whole country. At least 2000 lichenized fungi are expected to occur in the country, considering its size, phytogeographical diversity, and different habitats (Halıcı et al. 2007). It is clear that the lichen biota is still far from being completely known in Turkey and that taxonomic studies focusing on genera or species complexes are needed. The genus Candelariella includes species with 8- or polyspored asci of the Lecanora-type, biatorine or lecanorine apothecia, and a secondary chemistry with pulvinic acid and derivatives (Westberg 2005). Approximately 50 Candelariella species are known worldwide (Westberg 2004), and in Turkey 15 species—C.

These groups are ethnically different from Turks and were incorporated into the Ottoman Empire’s eastern provinces with de facto autonomy. The main objective of this study is to illustrate the need for a language curriculum and identify the obstacles that minority groups encountered in Turkey. This study examines three large communities: Arabs, Kurds, and Laz. The results indicate that minority people in Turkey who had poor Turkish language education were unable to learn their mother tongue within the formal educational settings from the foundation of the republic until 2012. Some of the ethnic groups’ languages, such as Laz, Kurdish, and Arabic, were started at schools as elective courses, but few, if any, textbooks written in these languages exist.
