The metaverse is a new place where people's avatars spend their time playing, working, having fun, cultural outing, and more. Although metaverse offers many experiences to its users, one of the metaverse experiences where users spend the most time is the gaming experience. Therefore, this study investigates the opinions of the participants who experienced the Nikeland sports game, which is the initiative of the Nike sports brand in the metaverse. Within the scope of the research, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the participants who experienced the Nikeland game. Seven themes were obtained: the age beyond sports, atmospheric, feelings, chaotic structure in access, flow, perception of reality and innovative brand in this research. As a result of the findings, although the game initiative of the Nike brand in the metaverse is still in its infancy, it has been seen that there is a belief that this initiative will come to better places in the future. As a consequent of the literature review of the metaverse and the opinions of the users who have experienced the Nikeland game, the researchers have obtained results that the concepts of sports and metaverse are not far from each other and that the sports brands in the metaverse will increase.
This study is about scientific analysis of Multiple Sclerosis rehabilitation. For this purpose, scientific mapping method was used in the analysis of publications. Scientific studies published in the Web of Science (WoS) database on rehabilitation in patients with multiple sclerosis between 1986-2021 were analyzed by bibliometric analysis method. VOSviewer package program was used to analyze the data. The data were analyzed in terms of variables such as the author of the publications, countries, active journal, citations, institutions, keywords. As a result of the study, regarding the publications on multiple sclerosis and its rehabilitation; the highest number of studies were published between 2018-2021, with the USA in the first place in this regard; Researchers affiliated with the University of Alabama Birmingham have the most publications on this subject; most publications were published in the journal Disability and Rehabilitation; the researcher who contributed the most to the subject is Robert W. Motl; It was seen that the most cited publication on multiple sclerosis belongs to Kurtzke JF. From Turkey, Idiman E. is at the forefront of the names that contribute to this field. As a result of the findings, it has been observed that the publications on multiple sclerosis and its rehabilitation have increased in recent years. This study can provide researchers with useful information about research directions and limitations, and co-authorship of publications. Focus on research base and collaborations should be increased for high quality multiple sclerosis rehabilitation studies.
In this research, Middle School Mathematics Curriculum and Middle School Mathematics Textbooks were examined in terms of ethnomathematics approach. Answers were sought to the questions of 'how is it related to culture?' within the subject of acquisitions, content (lecture), learning-teaching process (activities) and evaluation (questions) in the books prepared within the scope of the Middle School Mathematics Curriculum implemented in Türkiye. In this study, document analysis -which is a qualitative research method, was conducted. Examples of mathematical tasks suitable for these achievements were examined in the textbooks of all Middle school grades (5-8th grades) published by the Ministry of National Education, which were prepared in accordance with the Mathematics Curriculum (5-8th Grade) published in 2018 and the curriculum. The examinations were made in the context of the relationship between acquisitions, content, learning-teaching process and evaluation with culture. Considering these four titles, only two acquisitions were associated with culture in the Mathematics Middle School Curriculum, which includes a total of 52 acquisitions in the sources examined. When the textbooks are examined in terms of content, activity and evaluation, it is seen that culture is emphasized in subjects such as Numbers and Operations, Geometry and Measurement, Algebra, Data Processing as a field of learning. The emphasis on culture in terms of content and learning-teaching process is equal when examined of these two titles. Association with culture is rare (with 6 question) in the evaluation part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
