Research paper thumbnail of IRT-based classification analysis of an English language reading proficiency subtest

However, misclassification is to some extent inevitable and may have important consequences for stakeholders. Recent research suggests that classification efficacy may be enhanced substantially using computerized adaptive testing (CAT). Using real data simulations, the current study investigated the classification performance of CAT on the reading section of an English language proficiency test and made comparisons with the paper-based version of the same test. Classification analysis was carried out to estimate classification accuracy (CA) and classification consistency (CC) by applying different locations and numbers of cutoff points. The results showed that classification was suitable when a single cutoff score was used, particularly for high- and low-ability test takers. Classification performance declined significantly when multiple cutoff points were simulta...

Particularly in the last century, access to information about the health of the community in the healthcare system, which has made patient-centered care a target, has made it possible to understand and evaluate this information, both in raising the quality of health and making a visible difference in the development of health. Work on health literacy, which has become a public health problem, has been accelerated all over the world, especially in the European countries. Health literacy is defined, categorized and developed in different forms. The aim of the studies is to raise the awareness of health and the quality of health care in parallel therewith. The greatest share in this regard falls to health personnel and nurses. The nursing profession, which is in contact with the patient in person; Based on the independent roles that he has, he undertakes training and counseling in the provision of c...

Bu nedenle ayni yas grubu ogrencilerinin hem 2011 yilinda hem de 2015 yilinda katildiklari TIMSS arastirmalarinda okul, fen bilimleri ogretmeni ve fen dersi ile ilgili ayni sorulara verdikleri cevaplari arasindaki degisimin fen basarisi uzerindeki etkisi ortaya konmaya calisilmistir. Arastirmada nicel arastirma yontemlerinden bir tanesi olan betimsel arastirma modeli kullanilmistir. Ornekleme, TIMMS arastirmasina 2011 yilinda katilan 7479 dorduncu sinif ogrencileri ile 2015 yilinda katilan 6079 sekizinci sinif ogrencileri dâhil edilmistir. Verilerin analizini gerceklestirme surecinde SPSS 24 paket programi kullanilmistir. Sonuclara gore, ilkokul dorduncu sinif ogrencilerinin fen bilimleri dersine calismak zorunda olmadigini, ilginc seyler ogrendigini ve ogretmenin ilginc seyle...

Research paper thumbnail of Role of Grafting in Tolerance to Salt Stress in Melon (Cucumis melo L.) Plants: Ion regulation and antioxidant defense systems

Herein, it was aimed to determine if the salt tolerance of two salt-susceptible melon genotypes, SCP-1 and SCP-2, could be improved by grafting onto TLR-1 and TLR-2, which are salt-tolerant melon genotypes, and Albatros commercial melon rootstock. The grafted plants were grown in plastic pots containing a peat: perlite mixture and exposed to NaCl at doses of 0 and 200 mM under greenhouse conditions. The salt-tolerant rootstock significantly diminished the damaging effects caused by salt stress via a reduction in the uptake of Na and Cl, which enhanced Ca and K uptake and micronutrition. Stressinduced activities of catalase, superoxide dismutase, ascorbate peroxidase, and glutathione reductase were considerably higher in the grafted plants. The results showed that grafting salt susceptible plants onto the salt-tolerant rootstock improved the growth regulation. The salt tolerance of the grafted melon seedlings may have partially been the result of the decreased Na and Cl, and malondialdehyde contents and higher antioxidant enzyme activities.

Bu nedenle geçmişte eğitim alanında farkına varılan değerlerin canlandırılması, tarihten dersler çıkartılması; çağdaş uygarlık seviyesine ulaşılmasında atılacak adımlardan biri olmalıdır. Bu çalışmada, tarihi araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak, Atatürk'ün eğitim, öğretmenler ve ilköğretim hakkındaki görüşleri doğrultusunda eğitime bakış açısı tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Genel araştırma türlerinden betimsel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak belirlenen durum tanımlanmaya ve açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Kaynak taraması sonucunda elde edilen veriler; "fen", "eğitimin insan yaşamındaki yeri", "Atatürk'ün eğitime verdiği önem", "Maarif Kongresi ve önemi", "Atatürk'ün fen bilimlerine bakışı" ve "Atatürk'ün görüşlerinde gençler ve öğretmenler" konu alanları ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Atatürk'ün görüşleri doğrultusunda eğitimine yönelik öneriler sunulmuştur.

The classification has five different categories of goods, namely, raw-material-intense, labour-intense, capital-intense, easy-to-imitate and hard-to-imitate. For analysis, Turkey's export data (US dollars) between 1996 and 2015 is used. Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) formula by Bela Balassa (1965) is taken as methodology to analyse. In compliance with Turkey's RCAs of the period, it is found out that Turkey has competitiveness (comparative advantages) on the export of labour intensive and capital intensive goods while it has competitiveness disadvantage on the raw-material intense, easy-to-imitate and hard-to-imitate goods which are research-based goods. It means the goods exported by Turkey is mostly production of labour intense technology, thus it demonstrates that the labour factor is the most significant production factors for Turkey. However, Turkey has disadvantage on easy-to-imitate and hard-to-imitate researchdevelopment-based goods strengthen by innovation and high value added products, which are commonly accepted as development indicators for countries.

By this study, it is tried to find out whether the countries having great share of seafood export also have got competitiveness in export or not. Methodology-Therefore, top ten countries that have the biggest share in the seafood export worldwide are chosen and the Standard International Trade Classification (SITC) Revision 3 product groups are used to analyse by Revealed Comparative Advantage (RC A) method. Findings-The findings of the analysis have surprisingly showed that Vietnam, Denmark and Chile which have lower-shares of global seafood export also have specialization and comparative advantage on seafood export while the USA with higher-share has competitiveness disadvantage with no specialization. Conclusion-The countries with high-export numbers have not as competitive as it was expected in the seafood trade.
