Abstract. Internationalization in higher education (IHE) has been a policy issue for countries and a strategic orientation for individual universities. Historically internationalization has always been a part of the university. In the traditional, face-to-face education internationalization has specific rationales and meanings for countries, universities and individuals. However, with the developments in ICT internationalization gained a new meaning. The most prominent aspect of this meaning is that internationalization gained a virtual dimension. The purpose of this article is to identify the traditional meaning and rationales of IHE as well as approaches to internationalization. Besides the article defines virtual internationalization and discusses the approaches to virtual internationalization in the context of open and distance education. Finally, the article covers the opportunities and challenges come along with virtual internationalization. The article concludes that although virtual internationalization provides new opportunities, failing to tackle the challenges may end up with limited accomplishment of internationalization.

Near real-time estimation of ionosphere vertical total electron content from GNSS satellites using B-splines in a Kalman filter Erdogan, Eren; Schmidt, Michael; Seitz, Florian; Durmaz, Murat (Copernicus GmbH, 2017-2-27) Abstract. Although the number of terrestrial global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receivers supported by the International GNSS Service (IGS) is rapidly growing, the worldwide rather inhomogeneously distributed observation sites do not allow the generation of high-resolution global ionosphere products. Conversely, with the regionally enormous increase in highly precise GNSS data, the demands on (near) real-time ionosphere products, necessary in many applications such as navigation, are growing very fas...
Effects of microwave and ultrasonic extraction methods on total phenolic content of nettle (Urtica diocia) Ince, Alev Emine; Şahin, Serpil; Sumnu, Gulum (null; 2011-12-01) Abstract. Effects of different extraction methods at different conditions on total phenolic content (TPC) of nettle (Urtica diocia) were investigated. Water was used as solvent. TPC analysis was performed according to Folin-Ciocalteu method. In microwave extraction, heating was achieved using microwaves at 407W power level. Effects was obtained as 1:30 solid-to-solvent ratio for 10min. Extraction was also performed conventionally at 1:30 solid-to-solvent ratio for 30min for comparison. There was no signific...
Circulation of the Turkish Straits System under interannual atmospheric forcing Aydoğdu, Ali; Pinardi, Nadia; Özsoy, Emin; Danabasoglu, Gokhan; Gürses, Özgür; Karspeck, Alicia (Copernicus GmbH, 2018-9-11) Abstract. A simulation of the Turkish Straits System (TSS) using a high-resolution, three-dimensional, unstructured mesh ocean circulation model with realistic atmospheric forcing for the 2008–2013 period is presented. The depth of the pycnocline between the upper and lower layers remains stationary after 6 years of integration, indicating that despite the limitations of the modelling system, the simulation maintains its realism. The solutions capture important responses to high-frequency atmospheric...
Reviewing the Implementation of Life Sciences Curriculum in Turkey Using Elicitation Techniques Engin Demir, Cennet (2018-06-01) Abstract. The aims of this case study were (1) to investigate the general characteristics of the Life Sciences Curriculum (LSC); (2) to examine how the LSC is implemented in a public primary school from the perspectives of teachers, students and administrators; and (3) to identify whether implementation of the curriculum was in line with the principles of constructivist pedagogy. The study participants consisted of the school administrator, 2 co-administrators, 4 classroom teachers and 87 students fr...
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...
