The project aims to contribute to the participation of children with disabilities in social life through quality inclusive education in early childhood, and to facilitate their access to economic and social life in the long term. The project aims to reach children with disabilities and their families, as well as children with typical development and their families. In this way, awareness will be raised about the acceptance of individuals with disabilities in the society and it will be ensured that the problems faced by disabled individuals are overcome together. The project will last 36 months; It is implemented in a total of 90 pilot schools in the provinces of Antalya, Bursa, Konya, İzmir, Gaziantep and Samsun. In order to improve the cognitive, emotional and social development of all children within the scope of inclusive education, the current situation analysis has been prepared by scanning the national and international literature on inclusive education in early childhood for children with disabilities. In this context, Children's Activity Book sets, Teacher Activity Handbook and Story Book (38 pieces) sets were developed for each of the 3-4 year old, 5-6 year old and 6-7 age groups, and distributed to 32,000 students in total studying at pilot schools. Audio descriptions of all the story books were made and presented to the service of our students. The awareness of families of children with disabilities (3-7 years old) on inclusive education rights, opportunities and the importance of school-family cooperation has been increased. Within the scope of this target; A total of 12 awareness-raising seminars were held in 6 pilot provinces in order to raise awareness and raise awareness of families and society on the rights of children with disabilities, reaching approximately 16,000 parents. It is aimed to increase the awareness of decision-makers, families of non-disabled children about the right of disabled children to receive quality inclusive education and to provide their support in this regard. In this context, a “Community Intervention Guide” which defines the interventions was prepared in order to eliminate the psychological or social exclusion that children with disabilities are exposed to and to inform families, caregivers and society about the rights of children with disabilities in general. Within the scope of awareness-raising activities, "Children's Festivals" where these games are played were organized in each pilot province by developing games that children with disabilities and their typically developing peers can play together. It is aimed to equip teachers with knowledge and skills so that they can provide quality inclusive education for all children (3-7 years old). In this context; Inclusive education in early childhood "teacher training module" was developed and prepared in a format that can be downloaded to EBA. 142 teachers were trained to become "educator trainers" and 1250 teachers were reached through these teachers. In addition, information seminars were organized for pilot provincial administrators and school administrators. During the project, "children's portfolios" and "teacher portfolios" were developed in order to follow the development of teachers and children. After the project pilot implementation period, these portfolios will be analyzed and a comprehensive development report will be prepared. Within the scope of the project visibility activities, a total of 6 short films were shot, one in each province, and a public spot was shot. In addition, posters and brochures on inclusive education were prepared and distributed to pilot provinces. The project implementation process will end in December 2020. 2018 Engeli Olan Çocuklar İçin Kapsayıcı Erken Çocukluk Eğitimi Projesi: Engeli olan bireylerin karşılaştıkları sorunların üstesinden birlikte gelmeyi hedefleyen bu proje, Antalya, Bursa, Konya, İzmir, Gaziantep ve Samsun illerinde olmak üzere toplamda 90 pilot okulda uygulanacaktır.

Abstract. Data security has become a major issue in recent years. It becomes a requirement to store the sensitive data with at least two backup systems in geographically distributed data centers in order to provide the security. In addition, there is a huge need for the computational power to analyze the big data generated through various high-throughput multiomics applications such as next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry platforms. In this study, a geographically distributed asynchronous replication application and architecture, called LUNGBASE, based on the OpenStack Swift has been introduced. This study enables to replicate the data generated through the LUNGMARK project, a lung cancer molecular profiling study through bioinformatics-supported integrative multiomics analysis, carried out at the Molecular Oncology Laboratory of the TUBITAK-Marmara Research Center (MRC), Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Institute (GEBI), in different geographical regions. In this paper, we proposed an architecture and application model that can perform an effective file transfer operations and smart and automated data movement on distributed environment.

In this study, soil and water potential of Konya Basin, its use in agriculture and problems resulted from the agriculture and sustainability were analyzed with detail. Nowadays in such basin, some problems have observed about the sustainable agriculture, water resources and environmental sustainability issues. The reason is excess water uses in agriculture. Agriculture performed in the present form has led to the excess water uses in agriculture. The most important cause of excess water use is increase of the planting areas of highly water consumption crops and adding highly water consumption new crops to the crop pattern. In this study, it has estimated that irrigation areas in basin have increased by unplanned and senseless, available water potential of basin is insufficient for these areas and unavailable ground water potential of 1.4 billion m3 has extracted. In the other word, for irrigation areas, usable water resources are not enough. To solve the problems related to water and sustainable water resources; excess water uses from the basin resources should be stopped and only consumable water potential must be used. In addition, use of waste water and drainage water, developing crop varieties resisted to the drought and salinity conditions, establishment of new irrigation techniques and use of irrigation technologies that are highly efficient are necessarily prerequisite.
