Yarn and spinning technology is a complex process that is a combination of raw materials, machinery, and automation technology where continuous improvements, researches and innovations run progressively. For the evolution of spinning technology, academic publications, postgraduate theses, and technological contributions of related shareholders must be considered as adherent supplements. Aim of this study is to examine the accomplished 236 postgraduate theses related to conventional and novel textile fibre types, staple spun/filament yarn technology and machinery, yarn types with structural and functional varieties, and modified spinning technologies in Turkish Universities. Moreover, it is aimed to reveal any trend in theses on yarn technology and the regional textile clusters in Türkiye. The methodology of the pursuit is a quantitative assessment where postgraduate level, thesis subject, year of thesis defence, and raw materials used in the theses are concerned. The findings showed that researchers focussed on conventional spinning systems and yarns in parallel with the spinning capacity and import potential of the country. Other extractions of the study are; classical ring system is mostly studied by the researchers, modern spinning technologies are included in many theses, reflections of global circumstances are distinguished in theses with keywords of manmade/recycled fibres, and blended yarns.

This study aims to investigate the graduate theses between the years of 2010 and 2022 about refugee children in Türkiye. In this regard, 157 theses that are accessible at the Council of Higher Education's Databases of the National Thesis Center were examined. The method of this research was case study, and content analyses were used. The theses included in the study have been analyzed concerning the years they were published, the kind of thesis, the research techniques, the purpose of the research, the sample size, the age, gender, and ethnicity of the sample, as well as the cities where the data was gathered. The findings of the research are presented in the tables in the form of percentages and frequencies. According to the results, it was seen that most postgraduate-level theses about refugee children were made in 2019. As a method, it was determined that the most qualitative research method was used. The aims of the research were examined in five categories: education, social cohesion, psychology, health, and others. When the ethnic identities of the study groups in these theses were examined, it was seen that most Syrians were present. As a result of the research, it was also determined that most of these were conducted for refugee children in İstanbul. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Flipped learning has been one of the most popular trends in education in the last decade. History of flipped learning dates back to 2007 when two chemistry teachers in the USA recorded videos and screencast them for enabling their students to compensate for the lessons they missed. Flipped learning emphasizes effective use of class time by changing the traditional task of teachers and students inside and outside the classroom. In flipped learning, students' roles as passive lecture listeners change to active participants in classroom activities. As its name suggests, flipping takes the presentation or lecture part which is traditionally done in the classroom and places that in pre-class work. It can be considered as a pedagogical model in which the typical lecture and homework elements of a course are reversed. Subsequent to the first implementation of this new instructional model, a lot of institutions have started to integrate the model into their education systems and research on flipped learning has begun to gain popularity. This study aims to analyse master's and doctoral research on flipped learning conducted in Turkey. As data collection tool, document analysis method was used in the study. To this end, some key words related to flipped learning were searched in the data base of National Thesis Center (NTC) provided by the Council of Higher Education. It was found that 57 master's and 31 doctoral research was conducted in different disciplines between the years of 2014 and 2019 in Turkey. The scope of majority of these studies was usually based on determining students' attitudes, perceptions, academic achievements, and selfefficacy beliefs. Some studies focused on the contribution of flipped learning to learners' development of 21st century skills as well as to general competence levels. The study also found that flipped learning was implemented in a wide range of disciplines such as history, chemistry, music, science education, social studies, accounting education, medical studies, and foreign language education which constituted the greatest proportion of the current academic research in Turkey.

The aim of this study is to perform a citation analysis of dissertations completed at the Department of Management Information Systems (MIS) in Turkey between 2006 and 2018. For this purpose, a total of 177 dissertations including 173 master's and 4 doctoral dissertations were analyzed through citation analysis to investigate general characteristics and bibliometric features. The key findings show that the average number of dissertations completed per year was 14 and there is not a common pattern for the distribution of completed dissertations by the years. Most of the dissertations were completed at Boğaziçi University (45%) and Gazi University (26%). An average dissertation was 121 pages long. The average number of citations in dissertations was 76, and journals received more than half of the citations (52%) while books did 27%, electronic publications 14%, theses 5% and other types of documents/sources 2%. More than half of the journals (61%), the most frequently used source type in dissertations, were in English. "Information Management", "Management Information Systems (MIS) Quarterly" and "Journal of Marketing" were among the most frequently cited journals. "Fred. D. Davis", "Viswanath Venkatesh" and "Icek Ajzen" were the most frequently cited authors. The mean half-life of the sources cited in the dissertations was 7,3 years. This study is the first one which has analyzed the dissertations completed at MIS Departments in Turkey through the citation analysis method. In this respect, the findings can be used to examine the intellectual features of MIS discipline/field in Turkey and to create core library collections in the field. Moreover, this study is expected to be a pioneering one for similar citation analysis and bibliometric studies related to other types of sources in addition to dissertations and for other researchers in the field of MIS in the future.

Turkish doctorate programs are mainly composed of course work, preliminary examination, and dissertation stages. In these stages, naturally, several traditions and approaches are followed in different universities and graduate institutes. In this study, it is aimed to identify the main tendencies in preparing PhD dissertations in humanities and social sciences and to analyze the current situation in terms of production of academic knowledge and academic institutionalization in Turkey. Towards, the preparation processes for preliminary examinations and their contents, the procedures for the selection of advisors, dissertation subjects and research methodologies, and rationale for the study subjects, preference of research methodologies and academic writing techniques, and lastly relations with advisors and dissertation committee members are chosen for investigation. Quantitative methodology and survey technique has been used in the study to reach people who have completed their doctoral study on humanities and social sciences in 2011, 2012 and 2013 years in ten Turkish Universities that have given most doctoral graduates in social sciences. 405 people have responded the questionnaire form. The results indicate that the main motive behind selecting dissertation topics is related to career advancement, i.e securing a good position within the university system. Study found that systematic literature review is the most used research methodology and the reading-noting of all related sources than starting to write according to the materials is the most used academic writing technique in dissertations. Also, it is found that 1/3 of the participants had no chance to choose his/her advisors. Most of them perceived their relationship with their advisors positively, while admitting that the rate of advisors who actively contributed to the writing process is only 45%.
