Introduction ; Online learning provides a ubiquitous and self-paced learning experience, while face-to-face learning encourages commitment in a prescheduled formal instruction. Blended learning (BL) combines these two mediums and provides flexible learning opportunities. While faculty development programs have utilized these two mediums separately, BL has not been fully implemented locally until recently. Identifying elements that enable or hinder faculty within a newly implemented BL program can enhance the learning experience and support professional development. The current study aims to identify how junior and senior faculty members of medical departments at a Turkish university perceive enablers and barriers in a new BL faculty development program. Methods This research is a multiple case study with qualitative inquiry using in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. Using a BL approach, the research team designed faculty development activities based on the FourComponent Instructional Design model. Participants accessed the activities on a Moodle learning management system. Faculty experiences in blended faculty development were examined. The study group consisted of 26 participants, with 14 junior faculty in case 1 and 12 senior faculty in case 2 from different medical departments at a Turkish university. Data were collected and analyzed using qualitative methods. Results This study identified enablers and barriers within a BL faculty development program. While participants identified three barriers, they identified eight enabling elements in a BL program. A lack of time was the most critical barrier to participation in the program. Setting goals for personal development and obtaining skills in teaching were essential enablers within the BL program. Conclusion The use of an online platform to support face-to-face faculty development programs is beneficial in several ways for faculty. Faculty developers can utilize BL to foster engagement and motivate faculty for increased participation, especially if they seek to mitigate known barriers to a successful BL program. Online communication and activities are suggested to develop communities of practice in the workplace. Strategies to eliminate workload and provide guidance on time management are required for both junior and senior faculty.

Amphoteric Surface Hydrogels from Hydrogen-Bonded Multilayers: Reversible Protein Uptake
Kharlampieva, Eugenia; Erel Göktepe, İrem; Sukhishvili, Svetlana (2006-10-08)
INTRODUCTION. The aim of producing bioactive materials motivated the use of hydrogels as materials which control binding, absorption and release of proteins1,2. Advantages of using multilayering to produce surface hydrogels include the applicability of the technique to virtually any substrate type, and the possibility to control the film thickness by a simple variation of the number of layers. In our study, we report on one-component hydrogels derived from hydrogen-bonded multilayers which show pH-dependent...
An expert system for the quantification of fault rates in construction fall accidents
Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Dikmen Toker, İrem (2016-03-01)
Introduction. Expert witness reports, prepared with the aim of quantifying fault rates among parties, play an important role in a court's final decision. However, conflicting fault rates assigned by different expert witness boards lead to iterative objections raised by the related parties. This unfavorable situation mainly originates due to the subjectivity of expert judgments and unavailability of objective information about the causes of accidents. As a solution to this shortcoming, an expert system based...

Robust quality metrics for assessing multimodal data
Konuk, Barış; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this thesis work; a novel, robust, objective, no-reference video quality assessment (VQA) metric, namely Spatio-Temporal Network aware Video Quality Metric (STNVQM), has been proposed for estimating perceived video quality under compression and transmission distortions. STN-VQM uses parameters reflecting the spatiotemporal characteristics of the video such as spatial complexity and motion. STN-VQM also utilizes parameters representing distortions due to compression and transmission such as bit rate and p...
Generalized kerr-schild metrics in einstein‘s gravity
Çelik, Ufuk Can; Tekin, Bayram; Gürses, Metin; Department of Physics (2020-9)
Several aspects of the Kerr-Schild ansatz; including the generalized ansatz which has a generic background metric instead of a flat metric, Kerr-Schild groups and Classical Double Copy, are investigated. It is shown that, in vacuum, not all generalized KerrSchild spacetimes are algebraically special, whereas the Kerr-Schild spacetimes are always algebraically special. We also touch upon Kerr-Schild-Kundt spacetimes and further discuss their universality property before we continue with the Kerr-Schild ...
