To ensure the quality of the Ph.D. research the Department introduced a special procedure for periodic evaluation: after a period of nine months the potential Ph.D. candidates are asked to present their research design, theoretical framework and methodological approach to the members of the Department and to an external review, drawn up by the professors of the Department and by external reviewer. Depending on the assessment of the review group, the candidates will have the opportunity to continue their research at the Department. In the mean time the (public) review sessions developed into an important element for the scientific debate of the Department. The sessions became a meeting point for the whole Department to discuss new research issues and new methodological approaches and to develop new research collaborations. In this framework the external members of the review group are playing an important role. Their critics form a mirror for the scientific standards of the Department as well as for the scientific (and social) relevancy of the research issues. With the publication of the this book we want to offer to a broader public the opportunity to deal with this debate. The different contributions are based on the papers the Ph.D. candidates prepared for the reviews and have been updatedas a result of the remarks of the peer group and the discussion during the review sessions. As a result the contributions are reflecting the ongoing efforts to redefine the discipline of urbanism under globally changing conditions. The review sessions of the department started in 2004. This book presents the results of the sessions that took place late 2007 and throughout much of 2008.

Expectation based evaluation framework for hospital information systems measurement model ) Gürsel, Güney; Saka, Osman; Arifoğlu, Ali; Department of Health Informatics (2012) Evaluation is essential for Medical Informatics as well as many other disciplines. There is a growing interest and investment for evaluation researches and self evaluation works. Hospital Information System (HIS) evaluation frameworks have largely been discussed in the literature. However, existing frameworks lack one important aspect, to what extent user expectations from HIS are met. To complement this deficiency we designed an evaluation farmework for evaluating the user expectation in HIS. User expectat...

The first essay aims to investigate the role of knowledge in the economic growth and catch-up process of the OECD member countries during the 1995-2011 period, by utilizing panel data techniques. The empirical results suggest a positive impact of knowledge indicators on the economic growth performances of OECD countries and that there is convergence to the common long-run equilibrium in OECD. The second essay analyzes t...
The role of politics and instability on public spending dynamic and macroeconomic performance : theory and evidence from Turkey İsmihan, Mustafa; Tansel, Aysıt; Özcan, Kıvılcım-Metin; Department of Economics (2003) This Ph.D. thesis comprises of two parts. Part I develops a framework to provide insights into the understanding of several political macro-economy issues related to fiscal policy making. This framework links the overall macroeconomic performance to the public spending and borrowing decisions. The key feature of this framework is that it makes a distinction between productive (e.g. public investment) and non-productive public spending (e.g. popular spending). It is shown that a high level of political insta...
The Role of hydraulic loading and nutrients in the ecology of mediterranean shallow lakes Coppens, Jan Emma Pieter; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik; Department of Biology (2016) In this Ph.D.-research three approaches were used to study the relationship between external nutrient loading, hydraulic loading and in-lake nutrient processes in shallow lakes under different climate conditions: a space-for-time mesocosm experiment on a climate gradient across Europe; time series analysis of long-term water and nutrient budgets of Lakes Eymir and Mogan; a combination of catchment and lake modelling of Lake Mogan under the projected climate conditions for 2020-2090. The mesocosm experiments...
