COVID-19 has altered many aspects of daily life, notably impacting shopping methods. This study examines how these changes affect consumer behavior, focusing on norm sensitivity, risk perception, and digital advertising. The purpose of this research is to understand the role of norm sensitivity, risk perception, and digital advertising as mediators in the relationship between COVID-19 and changes in consumer behavior. Qualitative data is collected from online meetings with 41 participants aged between 19 and 52 and it is analyzed by using MAXQDA. The unique aspect of this study is its qualitative approach and having a relatively large sample size compared to typical qualitative studies. The findings indicate higher sensitivity towards online shopping during COVID-19, perceiving traditional face-to-face shopping as risky mostly due to virus transmission, increased trust in digital channels, the undeniable effects of digital advertisements on purchasing, and the importance of making research before shopping. Furthermore, the findings revealed that shopping methods shifted from traditional face-to-face to online shopping during COVID-19 even in the early times of the pandemic. Based on these findings, businesses should prioritize enhancing their online shopping experiences by improving website usability and security measures. They may also implement safety protocols in physical stores to alleviate consumer concerns. Leveraging targeted digital advertising strategies and investing in consumer research can help businesses adapt to evolving consumer preferences and behaviors.

With the official announcement of the new type of coronavirus-induced COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic, an extraordinary situation that no one has ever encountered has started. Just as life was about to return to normal in Türkiye, two devastating earthquakes, centered in Kahramanmaraş, affected ten different cities. Many global and national developments in various fields, which are expected to happen in the distant future, were completed within 3 years. One of these fields was undoubtedly education. Hybrid learning is seen as a trending educational approach combining face-to-face and online learning. Plastinated specimens come to the forefront for hybrid education with various advantageous features. They are not only non-toxic, dry, odorless materials, but also can simulate the natural anatomic appearance in detailed manner. With the help of new-generation acrylic paints and dyes which can penetrate into tissues, plastinates offer a unique natural look rather impressive than any other techniques. Due to the features mentioned above, plastinates are also convenient materials for handling, transportation or storage. These issues will be discussed in our article in terms of compatibility with hybrid learning. The aim of this article is to give ideas and make suggestions about how plastinates, which have been used efficiently in anatomy practices and professional training, can be used in hybrid veterinary anatomy education. © 2024, Ankara University.

The rise of large-scale multimodal models has paved the pathway for groundbreaking advances in generative modeling and reasoning, unlocking transformative applications in a variety of complex tasks. However, a pressing question that remains is their genuine capability for stronger forms of generalization, which has been largely underexplored in the multimodal setting. Our study aims to address this by examining sequential compositional generalization using \textsc{CompAct} (\underline{Comp}ositional \underline{Act}ivities)\footnote{Project Page: \url{http://cyberiada.github.io/CompAct}}, a carefully constructed, perceptually grounded dataset set within a rich backdrop of egocentric kitchen activity videos. Each instance in our dataset is represented with a combination of raw video footage, naturally occurring sound, and crowd-sourced step-by-step descriptions. More importantly, our setup ensures that the individual concepts are consistently distributed across training and evaluation sets, while their compositions are novel in the evaluation set. We conduct a comprehensive assessment of several unimodal and multimodal models. Our findings reveal that bi-modal and tri-modal models exhibit a clear edge over their text-only counterparts. This highlights the importance of multimodality while charting a trajectory for future research in this domain., Comment: Accepted to the main conference of NAACL (2024) as a long paper

The integration of Large Language Models (LLMs) into healthcare promises to transform medical diagnostics, research, and patient care. Yet, the progression of medical LLMs faces obstacles such as complex training requirements, rigorous evaluation demands, and the dominance of proprietary models that restrict academic exploration. Transparent, comprehensive access to LLM resources is essential for advancing the field, fostering reproducibility, and encouraging innovation in healthcare AI. We present Hippocrates, an open-source LLM framework specifically developed for the medical domain. In stark contrast to previous efforts, it offers unrestricted access to its training datasets, codebase, checkpoints, and evaluation protocols. This open approach is designed to stimulate collaborative research, allowing the community to build upon, refine, and rigorously evaluate medical LLMs within a transparent ecosystem. Also, we introduce Hippo, a family of 7B models tailored for the medical domain, fine-tuned from Mistral and LLaMA2 through continual pre-training, instruction tuning, and reinforcement learning from human and AI feedback. Our models outperform existing open medical LLMs models by a large-margin, even surpassing models with 70B parameters. Through Hippocrates, we aspire to unlock the full potential of LLMs not just to advance medical knowledge and patient care but also to democratize the benefits of AI research in healthcare, making them available across the globe.

Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) is a nontoxic and degradable nanomaterial. ACC can be synthesized using the coprecipitation technique, which enables the incorporation of ions into its amorphous structure. Although ACC has been investigated for various applications, such as wastewater treatment, in vivo imaging, and drug delivery, its antibacterial properties have not been explored. Considering the extraordinary capability of bacteria to adapt antimicrobial strategies, as well as the extensive burden of bacteria-induced problems on healthcare systems and the world economy, the need for effective antibacterial agents is becoming a pressing issue. Herein, we introduced selenite-incorporated magnesium-stabilized amorphous calcium carbonate (ACMC) nanoparticles as a sustainable antibacterial material. For the first time, we demonstrated that selenite ions could be incorporated into ACMC nanoparticles while preserving the amorphous structure. Antibacterial activity analysis showed that selenite-incorporated ACMC (Se-ACMC) nanoparticles at 1 g/L concentration could significantly reduce the growth of Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis) and Gram-negative (Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) bacteria strains within 24 h of interaction. As an important observation, even the lowest selenite incorporation (4.38 +/- 0.19 mg selenium per g of nanoparticles) led to a more than 3-log reduction in the number of S. epidermidis colonies. Additionally, the antibacterial activity was enhanced with an increase in the amount of incorporated selenite. These results indicated that ion-incorporated ACMC nanoparticles can pave the way for applications as antibacterial agents.

Bu tez, Türkiye'deki yerel toplumun Suriyeli mültecilere yönelik dayanışma temelli kolektif eyleme (DTKE) katılım niyeti ile kolektif narsisizm (KN) arasındaki ilişkiyi ve iç-grup imajı tehdidinin bu ilişkideki rolünü incelemektedir. Hipotezler, çevrimiçi bir anket ve anket içine gömülü deneysel bir düzenek kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Veriler, çalışmanın bağımsız değişkeni Türklüğe-dayalı ulusal kolektif narsisizm olduğu için kendini Türk olarak ifade eden 319 katılımcının (210 Kadın, 105 Erkek, Ort.yaş =22.4) yanıtlarına dayalı olarak analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, daha yüksek KN skorlarının daha düşük DTKE niyetleriyle ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bulgular ayrıca iç-grup övgü koşulu altında, katılımcıların iç-grup eleştiri koşulu altındakilere kıyasla DTKE'ye daha büyük bir isteklilik gösterdiğini göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, iç grup imaj tehdidinin manipülasyonunun DTKE niyetleri üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olmasına rağmen, KN ile DTKE niyetleri arasındaki ilişkiyi düzenlememiştir. Çalışmanın tartışma kısmında; önceki çalışmalarla tutarlılıklar veya farklılıklar sunulurken, farklılıkların potansiyel nedenleri tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca katkılar ve potansiyel sınırlamalar da sunulmuştur., This thesis investigates the relationship between collective narcissism (CN) and the local community's intentions to engage in solidarity-based collective action (SBCA) on behalf of Syrian refugees in Türkiye, focusing on the role of in-group image threat. The hypotheses were tested using an online survey and with an experimental setup embedded in the survey. The data was analyzed based on the responses of 319 participants (210 Female, 105 Male, Mage =22.4) who identified themselves as Turkish since the study's independent variable is Turkishness-based national collective narcissism. The results revealed that higher CN scores were associated with lower intentions for SBCA. Findings also showed that under the in-group praise condition, participants demonstrated a significantly greater willingness to engage in SBCA compared to those under the in-group criticism condition. However, although the manipulation of in-group image threat had a significant impact on SBCA intentions, it did not moderate the relationship between CN and SBCA intentions. Consistencies or differences with previous studies and potential reasons for the discrepancies were discussed. Contributions and potential limitations were also presented.

Bu tez arastirmasi, Türkiyeli yetiskinlerinin Suriyeli çocuklara yönelik tutumlarini ve bu tutumlari etkileyen çesitli degiskenleri Gruplar Arasi Temas Kurami ve Sosyal Kimlik Kurami çerçevesinde incelemek amaciyla gerçeklestirilmistir. Çalismalar, Suriyeli çocuklara yönelik olumsuz tutumlarin Suriyeli çocuklarin maruz kaldigi olumsuz kosullardan biri oldugunu ortaya koymustur. Arastirma hipotezleri, 254 katilimci (185 Kadin, 61 Erkek, Ort.yas= 28.04) ile çesitli ölçeklerden olusan bir online anket üzerinden test edilmistir. Sonuçlar, ödülü elde etmek için Türk bir çocuk daha fazla çaba sarf ettiginde, Türk yetiskinlerinin ödülü hakçalik prensibine göre dagitma ve bunu hakli bulmaya egilim gösterdiklerini ortaya koymustur. Ancak, Suriyeli bir çocuk ödülü elde etmek için daha fazla çaba sarf ettiginde, Türk yetiskinlerin ödülü esitlik prensibine göre dagitma ve bunu hakli bulma egilimi gösterdikleri görülmüstür. Ayrica, sosyal mesafe (Suriyeliler ile sosyal temas kurmaya daha fazla istekli olma), (olumlu) duygular, (daha yüksek) dindarlik ve ebeveynlik (çocuk sahibi olma) Suriyeli çocuklara yönelik tutumlar ile pozitif olarak iliskiliyken; (daha fazla) Suriyeli mülteciye maruz kalma ve (daha yüksek) gelir ise Suriyeli çocuklara yönelik tutumlar ile ile negatif olarak iliskili bulunmustur. Son olarak, gruba baglilik degiskeni ile Suriyeli çocuklara yönelik olumsuz tutumlar arasinda pozitif bir korelasyon oldugu bulunmustur., This thesis research aims to examine the attitudes of Turkish adults towards Syrian children and the variables influencing these attitudes within the framework of the Intergroup Contact Theory and Social Identity Theory. Studies have revealed that negative attitudes towards Syrian children are one of negative conditions to which Syrian children are exposed. The research hypotheses were tested with 254 participants (185 Female, 61 Male, Mage =28.04) through an online survey consisting of various scales. Results revealed that when a Turkish child exerts more effort to obtain the reward, Turkish adults tend to and consider it fair to distribute the reward based on the principle of equity. However, when a Syrian child exerts more effort to obtain the reward, they tend to and consider it fair to distribute the reward based on the principle of equality. In addition, social distance (more willingness to engage with Syrians through a variety of means), (positive) emotions toward refugee children, (higher) religiosity and parenthood (having a child) were positively associated; while (more) exposure to Syrian refugees and (higher) income were negatively associated with attitudes toward refugee children. Finally, group attachment was positively correlated with negative attitudes toward Syrian refugee children.

Members of honor cultures value engaging in moral behaviors and managing their social image to maintain their honor. These two goals reflect reputation and integrity concerns, which also have bearing on gender roles. In the current study, we examined a) evaluations of women and men described as diagnosed with COVID-19 and as either hiding or disclosing their diagnosis, b) the moderating role of honor concerns (reputation and integrity) and the gender of the infected person in these evaluations, and c) the relationship between honor concerns and individuals' own disclosure preferences among participants living in Turkiye, a country that exemplifies an honor culture. Findings revealed that participants with stronger reputation concerns evaluated a woman's hiding behavior more favorably than that of a man's. Moreover, higher integrity concerns were associated with lower levels of participants' own preference to hide a diagnosis for both men and women, whereas reputation concerns were positively associated with a preference for hiding a diagnosis among men only. Furthermore, a content analysis of participants' open-ended explanations of their views on women's and men's motivation to hide a diagnosis revealed further evidence for the gendered nature of reputation concerns. Our findings point to the importance of prioritizing integrity concerns (and downplaying reputation concerns) in public health campaigns in honor cultures.

Individual differences research on masculine honor has heavily focused on men's aggressive responses to insults by male strangers, but much less is known whether honor-oriented individuals (men and women) are less forgiving - express more avoidant and vengeful, but less benevolent motivations - towards peers following in-sults, and their underlying concerns in being less forgiving. Using 200 British participants (dignity group) in Study 1, and 146 British (dignity group) and 178 Turkish (honor group) participants in Study 2, we examined whether (1) masculine honor-oriented individuals are less forgiving of peers after insults, and (2) this association is indirectly explained by concern with avoiding loss of social respect or maintaining personal integrity. Results showed that masculine honor-oriented individuals were less forgiving of insulting peers, which was indirectly explained by concern with losing respect, but not keeping personal integrity. We also report that the presence of a third-party audience did not have an effect on the observed pattern of relationships. These findings expand our understanding of why, despite the many benefits of forgiveness, some individuals may be less willing to forgive people who have hurt them.

This study aimed to develop a protocol for the thin section plastination of the kidney with local polyester resin and examine the anatomical details of this specimen. The sample was fixed with 10% formalin fixation solution and then sectioned into 3 mm slices. The four stages of the polyester plastination technique were used. Firstly, the samples were kept in 99.5% acetone baths at-25oC for the dehydration. After this process, the sections were placed in polyester resin and the impregnation process was started at room temperature (20oC) under vacuum. Following the forced impregnation, the curing chambers were constructed and the curing process was continued under ultraviolet light. The data of each applied stage were recorded carefully and the protocol for polyester plastination of kidney sections was successfully established. The specimens were observed from a different point of view with a thin cross-sectional appearance. The anatomical morphology and the structures of the sections of the kidney such as renal parenchyma and circulatory components were preserved well. The final products could be used as educational samples for cross-sectional anatomical training of kidneys.

Intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a pervasive global issue. The media plays a significant role in shaping society's perceptions and understanding of IPV. This study focuses on the representation of femicide in Turkish newspapers, with a specific focus on the context of Turkey as an honor culture characterized by a distinct emphasis on female sexual purity and male dominance. Honor cultures often justify violence against women in the name of preserving honor. This research aims to investigate how newspapers depict honor-based IPV through quantitative analysis, content analysis, discourse analysis, and frame analysis of femicide cases. The findings reveal that newspapers frame IPV within an honor culture by victim-blaming and justifying men's violent behavior. Additionally, news coverage often portrays honor-based IPV as isolated incidents, failing to recognize its reflection of the broader honor culture. These portrayals inadvertently perpetuate and legitimize IPV, discouraging women from seeking assistance and support. © 2023, IGI Global. All rights reserved.

These portrayals inadvertently perpetuate and legitimize IPV, discouraging women from seeking assistance and support. © 2023, IGI Global. All rights reserved.

The level of destruction caused by an earthquake depends on a variety of factors, such as magnitude, duration, intensity, time of occurrence, and underlying geological features, which may be mitigated and reduced by the level of preparedness of risk management measures. Geospatial technologies offer a means by which earthquake occurrence can be predicted or foreshadowed; managed in terms of levels of preparation related to land use planning; availability of emergency shelters, medical resources, and food supplies; and assessment of damage and remedial priorities. This literature review paper surveys the geospatial technologies employed in earthquake research and disaster management. The objectives of this review paper are to assess: (1) the role of the range of geospatial data types; (2) the application of geospatial technologies to the stages of an earthquake; (3) the geospatial techniques used in earthquake hazard, vulnerability, and risk analysis; and (4) to discuss the role of geospatial techniques in earthquakes and related disasters. The review covers past, current, and potential earthquake-related applications of geospatial technology, together with the challenges that limit the extent of usefulness and effectiveness. While the focus is mainly on geospatial technology applied to earthquake research and management in practice, it also has validity as a framework for natural disaster risk assessments, emergency management, mitigation, and remediation, in general.

Tarihte yasa(lar) konusu geçmişte bazı din adamları, filozof ve sosyal bilimcilerin ilgisini çekmiş ve bunlar bu alanda önemli entelektüel çabalar ortaya koymuşlardır. Söz gelimi Augustinus, Comte, Durkheim, Hegel, Marx, Spencer gibi düşünürler tarihin akışını belirleyen genel ilkeler konusunda çeşitli yaklaşımlar ortaya koymuşlardır. Örneğin Augustinus’a göre tarih, Tanrı’nın insanı yaratmasıyla başlamış olan ve insanın kurtuluşuyla son bulacak olan bir akıştır. Comte’a göre tarih düşünsel bir evrime tabi olup insanlık tarihi üç aşamadan (teolojik, metafizik, pozitivist) geçmektedir. Hegel’e göre ise tarih insanlığın düşüncesinin diyalektik bir düzlemde sürekli gelişmesini ifade etmektedir. Marx açısından tarih bir sınıf savaşları tarihi olup belirli aşamalardan geçmekte (ilkel komünal, feodal, köleci, kapitalist) ve tarihin sonunda sınıfsız bir toplum (sosyalist) teşekkül edecektir. Spencer da tarihi evrimsel bir çizgide okuyan düşünürlerden biridir. Ona göre tarih bir evrime tabi olup sürekli ilerlemektedir. Tüm bu yaklaşımların ortak niteliği tarihin belirli hedeflere doğru yürüyen yasalarının olduğu fikridir.İbn Haldun’da da bu yönde bir yaklaşımın mevcut olduğu görülmektedir. Ona göre tarih iki boyutlu bir yapıya sahiptir. Çizgisel ve döngüsel. Bu, tarihin yasasıdır. Keza ona göre tarih belirli bir yöne doğru da hareket etmektedir. Tarihin yönünü belirleyen dinamikler ise şehirleşme ve sekülerleşmedir. İbn Haldun’a göre insanlığın ilk yaşam formu olan göçebelik (bedevilik) şehirleşmeye (hadarilik) doğru evrilmektedir. Bununla birlikte ve şehirleşmeye paralel olarak tarihin başlangıcında hayatın hemen hemen her alanını kuşatan (gerek teorik gerekse de pratik alanlarda) din, kurumsal bir farklılaşmaya ve daralmaya uğrayarak diğer bilgi ve yaşam alanlarının ortaya çıkmasıyla kendi öz alanına çekilmektedir. Bu süreç sekülerleşmeyi tanımlayan önemli bir unsuru (kurumsal/yapısal farklılaşma) ifade etmektedir. Dolayısıyla İbn Haldun düşüncesinde şehirleşme ve seküler, The subject of law(s) in history has attracted the attention of some clergy, philosopher and social scientists in the past, and they have made important intellectual efforts in this field. For example, thinkers such as Augustinus, Comte, Durkheim, Hegel, Marx and Spencer have put forward various approaches to the general principles that determine the course of history. For example, according to Augustine, history is a flow that begins with God's creation of man and will end with man's salvation. According to Comte, history is subject to an intellectual evolution and human history goes through three stages (theological, metaphysical, positivist). According to Hegel, history represents the continuous development of humanity's thought on a dialectical plane. For Marx, history is a history of class wars and goes through certain stages (primitive communal, feudal, slave, capitalist) and at the end of history, a classless society (socialist) will be formed. Spencer is one of the thinkers who read history in an evolutionary line. According to him, history is subject to evolution and is constantly progressing. The common feature of all these approaches is the idea that history has laws that move towards certain goals.It is seen that Ibn Khaldun also has an approach in this direction. According to him, history has a two-dimensional structure. Linear and cyclical. This is the law of history. Likewise, according to him, history moves in a certain direction. The dynamics that determine the direction of history are urbanization and secularization. According to Ibn Khaldun, nomadism (Bedouinism), the first life form of humanity, is evolving towards urbanization (hadariism). However, and in parallel with urbanization, religion, which encompassed almost every aspect of life at the beginning of history (both in theoretical and practical areas), has undergone an institutional differentiation and narrowing and is retreating into its own sphere with the emergence of othe

This study aimed to develop a protocol for the thin section plastination of the kidney with local polyester resin and examine the anatomical details of this specimen. The sample was fixed with 10% formalin fixation solution and then sectioned into 3 mm slices. The four stages of the polyester plastination technique were used. Firstly, the samples were kept in 99.5% acetone baths at-25oC for the dehydration. After this process, the sections were placed in polyester resin and the impregnation process was started at room temperature (20oC) under vacuum. Following the forced impregnation, the curing chambers were constructed and the curing process was continued under ultraviolet light. The data of each applied stage were recorded carefully and the protocol for polyester plastination of kidney sections was successfully established. The specimens were observed from a different point of view with a thin cross-sectional appearance. The anatomical morphology and the structures of the sections of the kidney such as renal parenchyma and circulatory components were preserved well. The final products could be used as educational samples for cross-sectional anatomical training of kidneys.

Neural networks have revolutionized language modeling and excelled in various downstream tasks. However, the extent to which these models achieve compositional generalization comparable to human cognitive abilities remains a topic of debate. While existing approaches in the field have mainly focused on novel architectures and alternative learning paradigms, we introduce a pioneering method harnessing the power of dataset cartography (Swayamdipta et al., 2020). By strategically identifying a subset of compositional generalization data using this approach, we achieve a remarkable improvement in model accuracy, yielding enhancements of up to 10% on CFQ and COGS datasets. Notably, our technique incorporates dataset cartography as a curriculum learning criterion, eliminating the need for hyperparameter tuning while consistently achieving superior performance. Our findings highlight the untapped potential of dataset cartography in unleashing the full capabilities of compositional generalization within Transformer models.

We introduce SAGE; a Generative LLM for inferring attribute values for products across world-wide e-Commerce catalogs. We introduce a novel formulation of the attribute-value prediction problem as a Seq2Seq summarization task, across languages, product types and target attributes. Our novel modeling approach lifts the restriction of predicting attribute values within a pre-specified set of choices, as well as, the requirement that the sought attribute values need to be explicitly mentioned in the text. SAGE can infer attribute values even when such values are mentioned implicitly using periphrastic language, or not-at-all-as is the case for common-sense defaults. Additionally, SAGE is capable of predicting whether an attribute is inapplicable for the product at hand, or non-obtainable from the available information. SAGE is the first method able to tackle all aspects of the attribute-value-prediction task as they arise in practical settings in e-Commerce catalogs. A comprehensive set of experiments demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach, as well as, its superiority against state-of-the-art competing alternatives. Moreover, our experiments highlight SAGE's ability to tackle the task of predicting attribute values in zero-shot setting; thereby, opening up opportunities for significantly reducing the overall number of labeled examples required for training., Comment: (17 pages)

How does psychology vary across human societies? The fundamental social motives framework adopts an evolutionary approach to capture the broad range of human social goals within a taxonomy of ancestrally recurring threats and opportunities. These motives—self-protection, disease avoidance, affiliation, status, mate acquisition, mate retention, and kin care—are high in fitness relevance and everyday salience, yet understudied cross-culturally. Here, we gathered data on these motives in 42 countries (N = 15,915) in two cross-sectional waves, including 19 countries (N = 10,907) for which data were gathered in both waves. Wave 1 was collected from mid-2016 through late 2019 (32 countries, N = 8,998; 3,302 male, 5,585 female; Mage = 24.43, SD = 7.91). Wave 2 was collected from April through November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic (29 countries, N = 6,917; 2,249 male, 4,218 female; Mage = 28.59, SD = 11.31). These data can be used to assess differences and similarities in people’s fundamental social motives both across and within cultures, at different time points, and in relation to other commonly studied cultural indicators and outcomes.

These motives-self-protection, disease avoidance, affiliation, status, mate acquisition, mate retention, and kin care-are high in fitness relevance and everyday salience, yet understudied cross-culturally. Here, we gathered data on these motives in 42 countries (N = 15,915) in two cross-sectional waves, including 19 countries (N = 10,907) for which data were gathered in both waves. Wave 1 was collected from mid-2016 through late 2019 (32 countries, N = 8,998; 3,302 male, 5,585 female; M-age = 24.43, SD = 7.91). Wave 2 was collected from April through November 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic (29 countries, N = 6,917; 2,249 male, 4,218 female; M-age = 28.59, SD = 11.31). These data can be used to assess differences and similarities in people's fundamental social motives both across and within cultures, at different time points, and in relation to other commonly studied cultural indicators and outcomes., Correction in: Scientific Data, Volume 9, Issue 1, Article Number 575, DOI 10.1038/s41597-022-01672-0
