This thesis was done using quantitaive and qualitative methods. The aim of the quantitative part was to understand child cancer patients’ well-being in relation to their mother’s parenting, personality and selfobject needs. ANCOVA analyses revealed that when mothers who have high selfobject needs (primary narcisisstic relational needs) also have high level of conscientiousness personality trait or show high controlling parenting attitude towards their children, the children were reported as having more externalizing problem behaviors. However, when mothers who have high selfobject needs also have conscientiousness personality style at the highest level, the children were reported as not having many problem behaviors. Thus, the compensating role of being very highly conscientious among mothers who have high selfobject needs in reporting child problems were discussed. In the second part, two mothers’ selfobject experiences were investigated using qualitative narrative inquiry. Using narrative analysis, mothers’ selfobject needs in relation to experiencing cancer diaognose and treatment was elaborated comperatively, using interview transcripts.

Analysis and testing of a contraction-and-expansion micromixer for micromilled microfluidics
Yıldırım, Ender (2017-10-01)
In this paper, numerical analysis and experimental investigation of a micromixer, which was specifically designed for microfluidic devices fabricated by micromilling, is presented. The mixer is composed of series of contractions and expansions in zigzag arrangement along a mixing channel. Mixers, fabricated by micromilling on polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), were tested with %0.1 Ponceau 4R red food dye solution and distilled water. According to experiment results, over 70% mixing efficiency could be obtained...
