This study explores the interaction of the essential components of creativity and collaboration in a digital environment in the design process. The framework is based on Amabile's componential theory of creativity, which is composed of three intra-individual components of creativity and the social environment. The digital environment as the social component of creativity provides the technical infrastructure for the analysis of data related to creativity and collaboration. Protocol coding method is used for the analysis of the qualitative and quantitative data stored in The Modular Object Oriented Developmental Learning Environment (MOODLE) forum posts that were formed by the comments or critiques given during the collaboration process by the team members, instructors or jury members. Findings indicate that the social environment component named as the reactivity to proposals is closely related to idea generation as the creative relevant process component and group interaction as the task motivation component. Furthermore, it is found that the number of sketches and design ideas produced through critiques are the main design issues that enhance creativity in collaborative digital environments. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.

This study argues that the shift towards a more multidisciplinary professional life in contemporary design practice requires design curricula to equip students with collaborative skills. The study offers that by the aid of web-based collaborative learning (WBCL) in design education, different disciplines may be brought together during their education. A case study is held as a rehearsal of professional life; involving architecture and interior architecture students collaborating on a common project, using WBCL. The evaluations of the participating students about the process were analyzed. The findings convey that there is a mutual problem of recognition of professional domains. In order to diagnose and possibly reconcile tensions that may occur due to this problem in professional life, this paper asserts that integrating interdisciplinary work to the design curricula would be beneficial.

This study explores the impact of virtual classrooms as an emerging classroom typology in comparison to the physical classrooms in the design process. Two case studies were held in order to infer design students' classroom preferences in the project lifecycle. The findings put forth figures that compare two forms of design communication in the two classroom types in terms of their contribution to design development. Although the students acknowledged many advantages of web-based communication in the virtual classroom, they indicated that they are unwilling to let go off face-to-face encounters with the instructors and fellow students in the physical classroom. It is asserted that the future design studio will be an integrated learning environment where both physical and virtual encounters will be presented to the student. Utilizing the positive aspects of both communication techniques, a hybrid setting for the design studio is introduced, comprising the physical classroom as well as the virtual one. The proposed use for the hybrid setting is grouped under 3 phases according to the stage of the design process; as the initial, development and final phases. Within this framework, it is inferred that the design studio of the future will be an integrated form of space, where the physical meets the virtual.

ÖZAkut mezenter arter embolisi, acil girişim gerektiren, nekroz geliştiğinde yaygın ince barsak rezeksiyonu ve sonrasında gelişen kısa barsak sendromu nedeniyle yaşam kalitesini düşüren, morbidite ve mortalitesi oldukça yüksek bir hastalıktır. Multidetektör kontrastlı BT, akut mezenterik embolinin erken tanısında oldukça önemli-dir. Biz burada, kontrastlı abdominal BT ile erken tanı ve sonrasında bağırsak rezeksiyonu gerekmeden yalnızca embolektomi yaparak tedavi ettiğimiz olguyu sunmayı amaçladık.Anahtar Kelimeler: Akut mezenter arter embolisi, multidetektör abdominal BT, embolektomi ABSTRACTAcute mesenteric arterial is an emergent state that requires urgent intervention. If massive small bowel necrosis is evident not only the patient's quality of life can be worsened after short bowel syndrome due to massive small bowel resection but also it has high morbidity and mortality rate. Multidetector CT is a valuable tool for the evaluation of acute mesenteric arterial embolus. We present herein a case of acute mesenteric embolus which was detected with contrast-enhanced CT of the abdomen and treated with open embolectomy without resection of small bowel.

As a result of liberalization and the globalization of international trade, factors of production and consumer products come from destinations around the world, and therefore the interdependence of supply chains between suppliers and wholesalers is increasing day by day. In this research, an optimization is carried out for the transportation in the supply chain, which aims to change route because of Russia and Ukraine war. The method is applied to the supply chain of a company that sells ready meals. This study aims to increase the competitive structure in the new market by reducing the cost of a fast food company that does not carry out maritime transport in its supply chain.

Eğitim hizmetlerinde başarı, birçok aktörün (yönetici, eğitmen, idari personel, öğrenci) ortak hareket etmesini ve bütünlük arz eden bir sistemin gerekliliğini zorunlu kılar. Bununla birlikte bu aktörlerin sunmuş oldukları hizmetlerin kalitesinin değişik zamanlarda ölçülmesi ve ölçüm sonuçları çerçevesinde iyileştirici önemlere odaklanılması gerekir. Bu araştırma, yükseköğretim kurumları bünyesinde öğrenci işleri daire başkanlığı kapsamında verilen hizmetlere katkı sağlamak düşüncesiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmada öğrenci işleri biriminden hizmet alan üniversite öğrencilerinin hizmet kalitesi beklentisi algılarının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Eylül 2014-Haziran 2015 döneminde Karabük Üniversitesi Öğrenci İşleri Daire Başkanlığından hizmet alan 507 üniversite öğrencisinden anket tekniği kapsamında veri toplanmıştır. Anket verilerinin analizi sonucunda hizmet kalitesine yönelik beklentiler için güvenilirlik, heveslilik, fiziksel özellikler, empati ve güven olmak üzere beş boyuta ulaşılmıştır. Bu boyutlar, öğrencilerin demografik ve diğer özellikleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Öğrencilerin hizmet kalitesi beklentilerinde güvenilirlik, heveslilik ve güven boyutları öne çıkmıştır.
