Advanced Detection of Retinal Diseases Via Novel Hybrid Deep Learning Approach
(int information & Engineering Technology Assoc, 2023) Aykat, Sukru; Senan, Sibel; Aykat, Şükrü
Diabetic drusen, choroidal neovascularization (CNV), and macular edema (DME) are some retinal diseases that can cause severe blindness and vision loss. Early diagnosis of retinal diseases is vital to prevent this irreversible damage to the eye. The problem statement of this study can be given as presenting new deep learning based results for detecting these retinal diseases. For this purpose, OCT dataset was used to detect CNV, DME and Drusen patients. This data set, which is frequently used in the literature, consists of CNV, DME, Drusen and Normal retina images. RestNet50, InceptionV3, InceptionResnetV2, MobileNet, DenseNet-201, Xception, EfficentNetB4, EfficentNetB7 and EfficentNetV2S models of the CNN architecture were applied to the data set and the performance results of these models were obtained. Then, in order to increase the classification performance of each of these models, hyperparameter tuning was performed by reducing the learning rate by half in each epoch. Later, a hybrid version of the EfficientNetV2S and Xception convolutional neural network models, the most successful of these hyperparameter-tuned models, was developed. The performance analysis results of our proposed hybrid deep learning model are given by comparing them with traditional deep learning models in the literature. These comparison results show that the classification success of the proposed model is higher than the success of traditional deep learning models in the literature. Thus, the proposed hybrid model can shorten the clinical diagnosis time. In addition, the costs of healthcare services can be reduced by intervening in treatable diseases earlier, instead of more costly interventions in the advanced stages of the disease.
Al-Ikhwan Al-Safa' On The Ethical Dimensions Of Art: An Analysis On Music
(Ilahiyat Bilimleri Arastirma Vakfi, 2018) Kilic, Muhammet Fatih
Since Ancient Geek philosophy, one of the most fundamental problems of the aesthetics has been the relationship between ethics and aesthetics. At the beginning of the questions that determine the nature of this relationship is the question of whether an object which is subjected to the judgment of beauty should have an ethically related content. Until modern times, this question has been answered to the point that, an object which is subjected to the judgment of beauty must also bear an ethical value. This answer states that in order to qualify an object or thing as beautiful in aesthetic sense, it should be connected to the good in ethical sense. From Ancient Greek philosophy to Islamic thought, we can clearly see the ideas and theories about this close relationship between ethics and aesthetics. This study aims to reveal the integrity between ethics and aesthetics in the philosophy of the al-Ikhwan al-Safa', a group of philosophers living in Basra and its environs during 4th/10th century, through the art of music. For this purpose, it is discussed in this article how music influences on human morality in their philosophy. The relationship between music and morality could be established in two ways in the philosophy of the al-Ikhwan: metaphysical and physical ways. When they connect music to metaphysics, they argue that music is a door to metaphysics, unlike the other arts. They refer to the strong effect of music in the human soul when they compare it with the other arts. As an auditory art, music has a richness of meaning that transcends the boundaries of the physical world and language. Through the sense of sight, one knows only what is at his side, but through the sense of hearing he may know the metaphysical truths that transcend time-space dimensions. As an art based on the sense of hearing, music can convey metaphysical truths to the audience differently from the other arts based on the sense of sight. Accordingly, music is a door for humans to direct them to the metaphysical truths and to enrich their morality. The al-Ikhwan al-Safa' assert that music has a divine and prophetic sources. These sources render it in relation to the wisdom. This thought about the source of the music also provides an explanation of the legitimacy of music. In order to emphasize this ground of legitimacy, they give some examples of usage of music used during religious rituals. They also argue that music in these rituals enriches human's morality. Another dimension as a metaphysical level for the relation between music and ethics in the philosophy of the al-Ikhwan is the mathematical basis of music. According to them, mathematics is the first path to the discovery of divine wisdom. This is because God has created the world in a harmony with the supreme proportions that describe the specific relation between the world and the numbers. Music is an art that is located in mathematics and that these supreme proportions could be obviously seen. Accordingly, music presents definitively the truth, divine wisdom and secrets. The al-Ikhwan argue that music is similar and harmonious with the sounds that emerge from the movements of stars and planets. The happiness in the celestial world where there is no generation and corruption is reproduced by the artist in the world of generation and corruption through music. Thus, music increases the desire to rise to the celestial world. This desire is described by the al-Ikhwan as trying to resemble to God. This description demonstrate that they evaluate the nature of music in a metaphysical context. Consequently, performing music, according to them, creates a result that redirects the human to the metaphysics. This metaphysical redirection does not only have a theoretical dimension in the sense that one acquires knowledge of the truth, but also has a practical content in the act of human in the sense of the resemblance to God. This practical content concerns the moral development of a person. Regarding the relation between music and morality, the al-Ikhwan al-Safa' offer a physics-based explanation in addition to these metaphysical bases. They argue that music creates psycho-physiological effects on humans and that the melodies coming out of the strings of the lute influence the four elements; blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm in the human body. The background of this explication is the Hippocratic-Galician medical theory, which has become widespread in the Islamic world since the ninth century. Within this theory, they reveal that music influences the physical and psychological states of human and that it can create permanent moral virtues such as courage, generosity, chastity, and mercifulness.
Ali Al-tusi's Contributions To the Seventeenth Discussion of Al-ghazali's Tahafut
(Beytulhikme Felsefe Cevresi, 2016) Kilic, Muhammet Fatih
In this paper, I analyze the 17th chapter of a 15th century Tahafut work by Ali al-Tusi which is devoted to the problem of causality. This analysis argues that Ali al-Tusi agrees with alGhazali's 17th discussion of causality and presents a number of conceptual and argumentative structures. Like al-Ghazali, Ali al-Tusi argues that the ontological relationship between cause and effect is not necessary and that this non-necessity does not weaken the certainty of our knowledge of the causal order. Ali al-Tusi differs from al-Ghazali by utilizing the concept of nafs al-amr in order to deny causal necessity, applying the distinction between true and ordinary causality for the two realms of causality (i.e. physical and metaphysical), and focusing on the contradictions between the physical and metaphysical explanations of the philosophers' theories of motion. Consequently, Ali al-Tusi's Tahafut cannot be considered as a commentary in the narrow sense, because he goes beyond the original context of al-Ghazali by taking into account post-classical thought on causality.
Analysis of legionella and Some Chemicals in Water Samples in Mardin Province
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2022) Dundar, Abdurrahman; Yildirim, Idris; Dundar, Nagihan Demir
In this study microbiological and chemical analyzes were carried out on water and swab samples taken from two water wells, a water tank and taps of buildings belonging to a public institution in Mardin Province. In these specimens the presence of Legionella and its serogroups as well as the parameters such as chlorine, nitrate, nitrite concentration, pH level and electrical conductivity were analyzed. While Legionella growth was not observed in 25 water samples, L. pneumophila serogroup 1 was detected in 4 of 25 swab culture samples taken from the same places. The pH values of water samples ranged from 7.53 to 8.02 the lowest pH value was observed in well no 1 as 7.53 while the highest was observed in well no 2 as 8.02. The lowest electrical conductivity value was measured at well 2 as 376.44 mu S cm(-1) and the highest was measured as 446.57 mu S/cm from well 1. As a result of the analyzes made in our research nitrite was not detected in any of the water samples. Whilst the nitrate amount was found to be the lowest with 4.30 ppm in the well, the highest with 10.85 ppm in the well 2. The chlorine values in the well 1 and 2 from which water samples were taken and the main tank were measured as 2.21, 2.05 and 2.43 ppm respectively. These values were found to be in the range of 1.68-1.73 ppm in the samples taken from the building taps.
Analyzing the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis in Terms of Economic Growth and Different Types of Globalization in Turkiye
(Istanbul Univ, 2023) Polat, Melike Atay; Ergun, Suzan
Environmental pollution has become one of the issues most widely discussed by researchers, scientists, and policy makers these days. In particular, investigating the determinants of CO2 emissions is one of the leading areas of interest for scientists. Meanwhile, globalization causes countries to interact with each other economically, politically, and socially, and this interaction inevitably affects the environment. Therefore, globalization is an important determinant of CO2 emissions. This study aims to evaluate the dynamic effects different types of globalization (economic, social, and political) have on environmental quality in Turkiye with reference to the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis during the 1970-2018 period using the vector error correction model (VECM). The presence of a long-term relationship among CO2 emissions per capita, GDP per capita, economic globalization, social globalization, and political globalization for Turkiye has been demonstrated using the Johansen cointegration test. According to the results, the VECM Granger causality test has determined a short-term one-way causality nexus from economic globalization to CO2 emissions and from social globalization to political globalization. In terms of long-term estimators, the study has concluded GDP per capita, economic globalization, and social globalization to significantly and positively affect CO2 emissions per capita and the square of GDP per capita and political globalization to negatively affect CO2 emissions per capita at a significant level..

An Assessment Of Camel Plays Based On Animal Imitations
(Selcuk Univ, inst Turkish Studies, 2019) Uygur, Hatice Kubra
Beneath the surface of Anatolia's history lies a well-established tradition of plays. If we go way back, it is known these plays have mystical and ritualistic aspects. Over time, these plays have turned into theatrical plays binding the society together, entertaining and providing them a good time. In this study, "camel plays" carrying traces of the culture of camel breeding in many parts of Anatolia will be exemplified. Lifestyle in Anatolia bounded by the land and animal breeding emerges in the cultural identity and memory of society. This influence is spread across all areas with life styles and its impact on vocabulary. It is possible to identify this influence in daily life, traditions and oral cultural artifacts. Among oral cultural artifacts, camel plays are living traditional plays. During onsite surveys on the culture of camel breeding conducted, it is seen that camels had their part in many areas of life in past but in time, their numbers decreased and function within life evolved into wrestling therefore they remained for entertainment purposes only. In many parts of Anatolia, especially during winter months, festivals or wedding ceremonies, camel plays based on animal imitations are performed. The remarkable point in this study is that camel plays still exist within collective memory of society even in places camel breeding has long started to fade. Contribution of camel plays on the sustainability of culture derived as a result of literature scanning will be assessed in this study.
The Challenges of "renewed" Enlargement To the Western Balkan Countries
(University of Warsaw Centre For Europe, 2024) Yaris, Zelal Basak
In the last two decades, acting as an anchor for a transition to democracy and a market economy, the EU has given membership perspectives to the North Macedonia, Montenegro, and Croatia. At the outset, the EU triggered democratic reforms, empowered civil society organisations, and established democratic rules in those countries. However, on Croatia's joining the EU in 2013, the Union demonstrated what can be best described as apparent enlargement fatigue and took a break from the widening of Western Balkan countries for the fi ve subsequent years. However, the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 revitalised the EU enlargement policy towards Western Balkan countries for security and geostrategic considerations. In that purview, this paper seeks to explore contextual constraints associated with the EU's renewed enlargement policy towards Western Balkan countries. Using the conceptual framework of Alcaro and his co-authors (2022), it is argued that the EU renewed enlargement operates in a context driven by the following three key processes: (1) multi-actor geostrategic competition; (2) regional fragmentation; and (3) intra-EU contestation. In this context, considering international, regional, and institutional contextual constraints, the EU's leverage on the Western Balkan countries would not be taken for granted, suggesting that the EU needs to develop hybrid strategies transcending classic tools of enlargement.
Classification of Eeg Signals Using Hilbert-Huang Transform-Based Deep Neural Networks
(IEEE, 2019) Zan, Hasan; Yildiz, Abdulnasir; Ozerdem, Mehmet Sirac; Zan, Hasan
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurologic disease. Electroencephalogram (EEG) contains physiologic and pathological information related human nervous system. EEG signals used in this study are obtained from Bonn University, Department of Epileptology EEG database. Original database has five subsets (A, B, C, D, E). Data have been reorganized into three groups which are healthy (AB), interictal (CD) and ictal EEG signals. Furthermore, in order to examine effect of signal length on classification performance, three different lengths are used. Hilbert-Huang transform is applied to the signals and they are represented as image files. Then, generated images are fed into deep neural networks with five different structures for classification. Accuracy is calculated for all cases to asses performance of proposed method. it is clear that successful results could be obtained using Hilbert-Huang transform along with deep learning networks.

(Ieee, 2020) Aykat, Sukru; Senan, Sibel; Ensari, Tolga; Aykat, Şükrü
Electroencephalogram (EEG) are signals used for the analysis of the electrical and functional activity of the brain. These signals are commonly used to detect epileptic seizures. The aim of this study is to classify healthy and epileptic individual EEG signals using artificial neural networks (ANN). For this purpose, the open data source of the University of Bonn was used. The success rates of the classification results obtained with the designed ANN model show the effectiveness of this ANN structure in the application under consideration.
Combining Multiparametric Mri and Psa Density for Improved Diagnostic Accuracy in Prostate Cancer
(Galenos Publ House, 2024) Celikkaleli, Ferhat; Ozden, Cuneyt; Bulut, Suleyman; Gokkaya, Cevdet Serkan; Aktas, Binhan Kagan; Kizilkan, Yalcin; Sagir, Sueleyman
Objective: The objective of this research was to investigate the combined use of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (Mp-MRI) and prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) to increase diagnostic accuracy in detecting prostate cancer (PCa) and to reduce unnecessary biopsies. Materials and Methods: This retrospective analysis included 399 patients who underwent prostate biopsy at Ankara City Hospital between 2021 and 2022, primarily due to clinical indications suggestive of PCa. The patient cohort was categorized into distinct groups according to their PSAD, with a defined threshold of 0.15 ng/mL/cc, and their respective prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) scores; subsequently, the diagnostic performance metrics, including sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values for determining Pca, were meticulously evaluated across different combinations of PI-RADS classifications and PSAD levels. Results: Among the 399 patients, 37.6% had PCa and 16.8% had clinically significant PCa (csPca). Patients who exhibited PI-RADS scores of 3 or higher combined with a PSAD score of at least 0.15 ng/mL/cc exhibited the greatest positive predictive value, achieving 74.1% for overall PCa and 39.3% for csPca. The integration of PI-RADS assessment with PSAD thresholds notably enhanced diagnostic accuracy, leading to improved detection rates of clinically significant cases while concurrently minimizing the frequency of unnecessary biopsy procedures. Conclusion: The simultaneous application of Mp-MRI and PSAD enhances the precision of Pca diagnosis and serves as a valuable tool for reducing the need for unnecessary biopsies, especially in patients with PI-RADS scores of 3 or above accompanied by elevated PSAD levels.
Comparison of Selected Physical Performance Characteristics of Elite Young Turkish and Indonesian Badminton Players
(int Journal Applied Exercise Physiology, 2020) Ozgur, Beyhan
The goal of this study was to compare the physical performance characteristics of elite young Turkish and Indonesian badminton players. Eleven Turkish (age 16.09 +/- 1.04, height 172.70 +/- 5.43 cm, body weight 65.07 +/- 8.55 kg) and twelve Indonesian (age 17.17 +/- 1.11, height 175.42 +/- 5.71 cm, body weight 68.50 +/- 8.27 kg) elite male badminton players participated voluntarily in this study. Height, body weight, body mass index was measured and standing long jump, overhead medicine ball throw (2 kg), back strength, leg strength and dominant hand-grip strength tests were performed to the athletes. The results of the analysis have shown that leg strength values of Turkish athletes were significantly higher than those of Indonesians (p<0.05), while other characteristics were similar (p>0.05). The current study indicates that it is more important to focus on the technical, tactical and motivational characteristics of Turkish badminton players and other country players of the same level in order to improve their performance to the high level.

Creation of Female Identity With Religious References in Patriarchal Culture and Discourse on Negative Feminine Dispositio
(Sirnak Univ, 2022) Altay, Saadet; Erkol, Ahmet
In history, the features that defined the male gender versus the female gender were largely accepted as good in contrast with the bad features of the female gender. This patriarchal way of thinking has existed as a dominant mode of thought throughout history and across many societies. In the last two centuries, objections have been raised against this dominant patriarchal thought and practice and struggle ensured. As a result, the subject at the center of the arts and sciences historically is in question as the women's perspective came to be represented in diverse expressions of thought, from art to politics, from economics to the sciences. The concept of "patriarchal/male-dominated thought" has led to a re-evaluation of everything that is human. There are no studies directly on this subject in the field of theology, and the existing ones are in the form of repeating what is available in Muslim culture. Studies on the subject are mainly in the field of anthropology and sociology. Therefore, the study of this topic in the field of Theology and especially Social Theology is an issue that should be taken into consideration. Because the studies in the field of Kalam are mainly in the form of either the repetition of the previous acquis or the understanding of what was written. For this reason, the approach of today's Muslim thought on this issue should be examined based on basic sources and presented to the world of thought. Within the scope of all these evaluations, in our study, first of all, the definition of human in the Qur'an will be based on the simple definition of man and woman, without distinguishing between men and women. Because all kinds of evaluations that are not made on this basis are subjective or shaped by the influence of previous cultures and beliefs. Based on this reality, first of all, the concept of "fitrah" in the Qur'an and the psychological and social reflections and meanings of this concept will be explored. Then, the concept of "female fitrat (nature)" will be analyzed in Muslim culture, and how this concept shapes women's and social life and affects Muslim thought today. It is important to understand how concepts such as "feminism" and "gender" belonging to the modern period are discussed in the discipline of Social Kalam with an approach that centers the text of the Qur'an. Specifically, this paper will discuss how relevant past and present Kalami debates are for contemporary questions around gender and feminism and address whether a new approach to the subject is possible. This is a basic study to determine what kind of ideas or advice Islam or the Kalam Discipline offers on the issue of "Female Fitrat (Nature)", as a fundamental question for all societies. Because this topic and discussion focus on the modern period, the theories of modern feminism will be used together with studies in the field of anthropology and sociology. Since the subject will be discussed in terms of the discipline of "Social Kalam", classical Kalam sources will also be used in today's studies.
A Cross-Sectional Study of Emergency Care Services During the Covid-19 Pandemic: A Multicenter Study of Healthcare Staff Perspectives
(Springernature, 2024) Butun, Ahmet; Yesil, Yesim
Introduction: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has significantly impacted various aspects of healthcare services, including emergency care services. Healthcare staff face mental issues and physical exertion when caring for patients potentially infected with COVID-19. Understanding the experiences and perspectives of emergency department (ED) healthcare staff during the COVID-19 pandemic is essential to inform evidence-based interventions and strategies to mitigate the impact on emergency care services. This study aims to investigate the experiences of ED healthcare staff regarding emergency care services during the COVID-19 pandemic, thus providing valuable insights into the challenges faced. Materials and methods: This study utilized a cross-sectional study design. Data were collected from 256 ED healthcare staff working in nine different hospitals located in Turkey between November 15, 2021, and December 30, 2021. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: A total of 256 participants were included in the study. Of the participants, 58.6% were nurses, 19.5% were ED doctors, and 21.9% were emergency medical technicians. In addition, 67.2% of the participants were infected with COVID-19, and almost all of them (94.1%) were psychologically affected by the pandemic process. It was found that 85.2% of ED healthcare staff felt excluded by society due to being healthcare staff and 71.9% had to be separated from their families. Nurses were separated from their families at the highest rate (78%) during this period. Conclusion: More than half of the ED healthcare staff had problems accessing protective equipment and were separated from their families during the pandemic due to the risk of COVID-19 transmission. Although the number of ED visits decreased because of restrictions at the beginning of the pandemic, ED visits increased again with the abolition of restrictions.
