Aim: The study was designed based on the hypothesis that the online education process affected students' communication skills, burnout, self-confidence, and academic self-efficacy during the COVID-19 period. We aimed to investigate students' communication skills, burnout, self-esteem, and academic self-sufficiency in the online education process during the COVID-19 period. Material and Method: In our study, undergraduate students between the ages of 18-25 who are continuing their academic training in Istanbul were included. The burnout level of the participants was evaluated using the Maslach Burnout InventoryStudent Form, self-esteem Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, communication ability Communication Skills Scale, and academic competence using the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale. Results: 220 students were included in the research. 170 males (77.3%) and 50 females (22.7%) who met the inclusion criteria, were analyzed. According to the results of Pearson correlation analysis, a positive moderate correlation (r=0.448, p<0.001) between participants' burnout level scores and self- esteem scores, and a moderate negative correlation was found with academic self-efficacy scores (r=- 0.451, p<0.001). Conclusion: According to other studies in the literature, in our results, students' communication skills and academic self-efficacy are at the forefront during the COVID-19 period of the online education process. It can be said that more research is needed on how to improve communication skills and social interaction to improve academic self-efficacy.
Effect of administering kefir on the changes in fecal microbiota and symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease: A randomized controlled trial
(Aves, 2019) Yilmaz, Ilkay; Dolar, M. Enver; Ozpinar, Haydar
Background/Aims: Kefir is a kind of fermented probiotic dairy product. The objective of the present study was to investigate the effects of kefir consumption on the fecal microflora and symptoms of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Materials and Methods: Kefir was serially diluted and inoculated into de Man, Rogosa, and Sharpe agar and incubated at 37 degrees C for 48 to 72 h under anaerobic conditions. This was a single-center, prospective, open-label randomized controlled trial. Forty-five patients with IBD were classified into two groups: 25 for treatment and 20 for control. A 400 mL/day kefir was administered to the patients for 4 weeks day and night. Their stool Lactobacillus, Lactobacillus kefiri, content was quantitated by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction before and after consumption. Abdominal pain, bloating, stool frequency, stool consistency, and feeling good scores were recorded in diaries daily by the patients. Results: A 5x10(7) CFU/mL count of lactic acid bacteria colony forming units was found in a kefir sample as the total average count. Lactobacillus bacterial load of feces of all subjects in the treatment group was between 10(4) and 10(9) CFU/g, and the first and last measurements were statistically significant (p=0.001 in ulcerative colitis and p=0.005 in Crohn's disease (CD)). The L. kefiri bacterial load in the stool of 17 subjects was measured as between 10(4) and 10(6) CFU/g. For patients with CD, there was a significant decrease in erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein, whereas hemoglobin increased, and for the last 2 weeks, bloating scores were significantly reduced (p=0.012), and feeling good scores increased (p=0.032). Conclusion: According to our data, kefir consumption may modulate gut microbiota, and regular consumption of kefir may improve the patient's quality of life in the short term.

(Turkish Green Crescent Soc, 2022) Kendal, Kubra; Atac, Amine; Kose, Ilkay Tugce
The aim of this study is to reveal the level of game addiction, musculoskeletal system complaints, and mental toughness and to investigate musculoskeletal system discomfort risk and mental toughness by the addiction level in e-sports players. The population of the study consisted of a total of 204 e-sports players on various platforms in Turkey, 94 of whom were game addicted and 110 were not according to the seven-item Game Addiction Scale. The players were given the Demographic Data Form, the Cornell Musculoskeletal Discomfort Questionnaire (CMDQ), the Cornell Hand Discomfort Questionnaire (CHDQ), and the Sports Mental Toughness Questionnaire (SMTQ). In CMDQ and CHDQ parameters, neck (7.55 +/- 18.16 vs. 2.06 +/- 4.26; p =.014), upper back (9.32 +/- 19.41 vs. 3.32 +/- 7.56; p =.024), lower back (12.27 +/- 24.93 vs. 2.75 +/- 5.47; p =.007), hip (2.89 +/- 9.90 vs..88 +/- 2.89; p =.013), right hand B (2.18 +/- 10.34 vs..24 +/- 1.24; p =.005) and F regions (1.76 +/- 3.81 vs..82 +/- 2.96; p =.041) were significantly better in the non-addicted group. In SMTQ, the control sub-dimension (10.68 +/- 3.27 vs. 12.75 +/- 2.67; p <.001) and total scores (36.32 +/- 6.74 vs. 38.46 +/- 7.11; p =.021) were significantly better in the non-addicted group. These findings reveal that as the game addiction score increases, the risk of musculoskeletal system discomfort increases and mental toughness decreases. These results should be taken into account in e-sports players where a sedentary lifestyle is at the forefront.
Alcohol use disorder and emotional abuse: the mediating role of early maladaptive schemas
(Cumhuriyet Univ Tip Fak Psikiyatri Anabilim Dali, 2019) Can, Yesim; Anli, Irem; Evren, Cuneyt; Yilmaz, Dogan
Objective: Studies have shown a relationship between the development of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and the existence of childhood traumas (CT). In this study, in order to gain a better understanding of the association between CT and AUD, the relationship between CT and AUD was analyzed. Further, it was investigated whether Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) play a mediating role in the relationship between emotional abuse (EA) and AUD. Methods: The participants were consecutively admitted male alcohol-dependent inpatients (n=220) and healthy controls (n=108). The participants were investigated with the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ-28), Young Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (YSQ-SF) and Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST). Mediation analyses were conducted in order to evaluate the mediating effect of EMS between the relationship of AUD and CT. Results: The difference between CT total score and the EA score between the control group and the AUD group were statistically significant. An analysis of different types of traumas in the correlation with AUD revealed EA as the main predictor of AUD both directly and through its mediating effect with the EMS. In addition, it was determined that in the relationship between EA and AUD, EMS such as Enmeshment, Emotional Inhibition, Dependence and Insufficient Self-Control had mediating effect. Discussion: CT, especially EA are quite common in male inpatients with AUD and the negative effects of EA may play an important role in the development of AUD by causing EMS. Our findings imply that those with EA history in childhood may be particularly vulnerable to the development of AUD in adulthood. Therefore, in the prevention of the development and in the treatment of AUD, it may be useful to take into consideration EA experiences, to screen EMS that may mediate such relationship through scales and to conduct interventions in this regard.
Pregnancy-Related Lumbopelvic Pain and Disability: An Invisible and Neglected Problem
(Ataturk Univ, 2023) Erten, Hacer; Aygun, Mahmure; Yilmaz Esencan, Tugba; Dogan Merih, Yeliz
Objective: This study was carried out to examine the frequency of lumbopelvic pain in pregnant women, the level of disability associated with it, and the factors that may affect the level of disability. Methods: The descriptive, cross-sectional and analytical study was carried out with 381 pregnant women who received service from the routine pregnancy follow-up outpatient clinic of a state hospital. A form including demographic, obstetric, and other descriptive characteristics of the cases, a visual pain zone diagram to determine the pain area, and the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) to determine the disability level were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistical methods and non-parametric tests were used in the analysis of the data. Results: It was determined that 86.35% (n = 329) of the participants had lumbopelvic pain and were mildly disabled according to the RMDQ total score (12.0 +/- 7.3). In the analysis performed according to subgroups, the mean RMDQ scores of pregnant women with pelvic girdle pain were found to be statistically significantly higher than those with low back pain (P <.05). Other variables associated with high disability scores were education level, parity, occupation, gestational week (trimester), presence of lumbopelvic pain in the previous pregnancy, work stress, and negative sexual life history (P <.05). Conclusion: Lumbopelvic pain is a condition that is common in pregnancy, can cause different levels of disability depending on some factors, and should not be ignored by antenatal care providers.
Determinants of sleep disturbance and sleep quality in children of mothers with fibromyalgia
(Turkish League Against Rheumatism, 2023) Kartaloglu, Isil Fazilet; Karagul, Sevil; Arslan, Sule
Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether maternal diagnosis of Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) affects the sleep quality of children. Patients and methods: This prospective study was conducted with 80 female participants (mean age: 36.2 +/- 5.9 years; range 25 to 50 years) and their 80 children (27 males, 53 females; mean age: 6.6 +/- 2.6 years; range 2 to 12 years) between August 2019 and November 2020. The FMS group included 40 female FMS patients and their children, whereas the control group consisted of 40 healthy females and their children. In addition to sociodemographic variables, functional status was evaluated by the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ), which was completed by mothers with FMS, and the Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ) was used to evaluate the sleep quality of all children. Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic characteristics ( p > 0.05). The CSHQ score of the two groups was above 41 points and was at a clinically significant level. The median value for the CSHQ score was 60.5 and 52 in the FMS and control groups, respectively. Sleep time, waking up at night, parasomnias, disrupted breathing during sleep, and sleepiness scores were higher in the FMS group than in the control group, and the differences were statistically significant (p < 0.001). The delayed falling asleep score, which was reversely coded, was lower in the FMS group than in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Conclusion: This pilot study showed that the children of mothers with high Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire scores had sleep disorders. Maternal diagnosis of FMS negatively affects the sleep quality of children.

(Pamukkale Univ, 2020) Cicek, Bunyamin; Aydogmus, Tuna; Gundogdu Is, Emine; Sun, Yavuz
In this study, it has been reported that Q345B steel combine with different steels using electric arc welding method and the mechanical properties were investigated. Produced by hot rolling processes, Q345B steel is a low-alloyed medium tensile strength and highly usable steel. The steel used contain less than 0.2% carbon and less than 0.55% silicon, chromium and nickel. In this study, Q345B steel generally used at low-pressure/temperature zones in thermal power plant (boiler wall etc.) is combined with 16Mo3 and P265GH steels. The Q345B steel is welded to make the mechanical properties easy to compare. After joining, specimens were collected from the welded areas and used in the preparation of mechanical and metallographic processes. In this process, all joints were subject to tensile, charpy, hardness and bending tests. In addition, the collection of macro images from welding were used in observation of transition zones which were operated. Electrodes with a basic character cover were used (E7018) as filler metal in the joining processes. All mechanical tests met the requirements of the relevant standards and all welds were identified as valid weld.

(Galenos Yayincilik, 2019) Incekar, Mujde Calikusu; Cecen, Eda; Balci, Serap; Mutlu, Birsen; Ogut, Nehir Ulu; Hamilcikan, Sahin
Objective: Noise must be reduced and taken under control because negatively affects the health of health personnel and preterm newborns in particular. The American Academy of Pediatrics reported that noise levels must be kept below 45 dB. However, many studies demonstrated that the desired level could not be reached. This research was conducted with the aim of evaluating the level of noise in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), and the effect of given education on controlling the noise. Materials and Methods: This research was conducted with doctors (4), nurses (18), and personnel (4) who worked in the 3rd level NICU of a university hospital. This research had a pre-test, post-test quasi-experimental design in a single group. Ethics board and institutional approval were granted from the hospital. A noise information form that was prepared by researchers, educational program on noise control, noise observation form, and noise measuring equipment were used in the study. Noise was measured for 24 hours over 7 days in repeated measurements in the unit before education, after education, and 6 weeks after the education program. Results: The noise levels were significantly lower 6 weeks after the education program compared with before the program (p<0.01). The percentage of correct answers given to questions in the information form was significantly higher 6 weeks after the education program compared with before the program among health personnel (p<0.01). The kappa compliance level was found significant among observers in the evaluation of doctors, nurses, and personnel in accordance with the noise observation form (p<0.01). Conclusion: It could be suggested that the education method was effective in terms of reducing noise, reducing noise levels in the environment, improving the information level of health personnel, and positively affecting the behaviors of personnel. It can also be concluded that the noise observation form is reliable.
Nursing Care in Robotic Radical Cystectomy and Intracorporeal Orthotopic Urinary Diversion Surgeries
(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Kalkavan, Emek Bakanoglu; Sendir, Merdiye
In this article, the management of nursing care in robotic cystectomy and urinary diversion surgeries, which are performed for treating bladder cancer, is explained considering the current literature. Bladder cancer is a type of cancer that is highly prevalent worldwide, and it is seen more frequently in men than in women. Radical cystectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy are the reference treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer, and they play a key role in managing high-risk nonmuscle-invasive cancer and saving the patient following radiotherapy. While radical cystectomy involves the removal of the bladder, urethra, uterus, Fallopian tubes, ovaries, and anterior vagina in women, it involves the removal of the bladder, urethra, prostate, and seminal glands in men. Urinary diversion performed following robotic cystectomy is a curative surgical method associated with functional and metabolic changes that could affect the patient as well as the quality of life of the patient. Urinary diversions performed following removal of the cancerous bladder aim to divert the urinary flow toward its normal path or form a new path for urine to be released directly or by accumulation. In robotic cystectomy and urinary diversion surgeries, the role of the nurse in the management of the preoperative, perioperative, and postoperative stages is highly important. The optimal management of nursing care and nurse training programs, especially for the postoperative period, aims to increase the quality of life of the patient by preventing complications, shortening their hospital stay, and organizing their activities of daily living.

(Galenos Yayincilik, 2019) Incekar, Mujde Calikusu; Yangil, Ayse Ipek; Kaya, Gizem; Genc, Gamze; Dogan, Zehra; Yildiz, Suzan
Aim: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between psychosocial development and liking of children in nurses working in pediatric clinics. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a descriptive and correlational study on 110 nurses working at two hospitals. Data were collected using an information form, the Modified Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory, and the Barnett Liking of Children scale. Descriptive statistical tests, Mann-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation and regression analysis and Cronbach's alpha were used in the data analysis stage. Results: It was found that there was a positive, weak, and significant correlation between the liking of children and the subscales of trust, autonomy, industry, identity, and generativity (p<0.05). At the same time, there was a very weak, positive, and significant correlation between the liking of children and the subscales of initiative and ego integrity (p<0.05). No significant correlation was observed between the liking of children and the subscale of intimacy (p>0.05). It was observed that there was a weak correlation between the level of liking of children and the determinant variables of trust, autonomy, initiative, industry, identity, intimacy, generativity, and ego integrity (R-2 =0.133). Conclusion: It was concluded that nurses' levels of trust and autonomy increased the level of liking of children.

(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Jayawardene, Wasantha; Pinar, Salih; Torabi, Mohammad; Xun, Pengcheng; Ozer, Mustafa
Background/aim: We aimed to develop an instrument that can assess the perceptions and opinions of young people regarding the causes and consequences of obesity and the role of individuals, families, communities, and government in addressing obesity. Materials and methods: A 36-question (101-item) survey was developed by adopting, translating, and revising multiple-choice or Likert-scale questions from existing surveys to assure construct cross-cultural validity. A two-factor mixed-effects model estimated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) to measure the test-retest reliability of questions administered 2 weeks apart to a convenient sample of Istanbul high school and university students, aged 15-25 years (n = 122). Results: The mean ICC for university and high school was 0.70 and 0.63, respectively. University students were more consistent in relating the problem to society and public policy preferences. High school students were more consistent in relating the problem and solution to themselves and their immediate environments. Using a 0.5 cutoff for the ICC's lower 95% confidence limit, followed by reevaluation of the question flow, a 19-question (36-item) survey was retained for adolescents and a 26-question (52-item) survey for young adults. Conclusion: While the survey items have moderate to excellent reliability for high school and university students, it can be administered longitudinally to suggest changes to policies and interventions, and after cross-cultural validation, it can be utilized to compare obesity perceptions across different populations.

(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2021) Calikusu Incekar, Mujde; Caglar, Seda; Kaya Narter, Fatma; Tercan Tarakci, Emriye; Ozpinar, Emine; Demirci Ecevit, Esra
Background/aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of the supplemental feeding tube device (SFTD) and bottle methods on weight gain, transition to full breastfeeding, breastfeeding success, and duration of discharge in preterm infants. Materials and methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted with a total of 46 preterm infants including 23 infants in study (SFTD) and control (bottle) groups. An information form, an infant follow-up form for feeding, and LATCH breastfeeding assessment instrument were used to collect the data. Results: The gestation week of the infants in the study group was 31.22 +/- 2.76, and in the control group it was 30.52 +/- 2.47. The birth weight of the infants in the study group was 1586.3 +/- 525.35 g and 1506.09 +/- 454.77 g in the control group. The daily weight gain of the infants was 24.09 +/- 15.21 g in the study group and 27.17 +/- 17.63 g in the control group. The infants in the study group (4.70 +/- 2.44 days) transitioned to full breastfeeding earlier than those in the control group (6.00 +/- 4.10 days). LATCH 2nd measurement scores were significantly higher in both groups than LATCH 1st measurement scores (p < 0.01). Although it was not statistically significant (p > 0.05), the infants in the study group (10.22 +/- 5.20 days) were discharged earlier than those in the control group (13.48 +/- 8.78 days). Conclusion: The SFTD and bottle methods were determined to be similar in terms of daily weight gain, transition to full breastfeeding, breastfeeding success, and duration of hospitalization.

(Doc Design Informatics Co Ltd, 2022) Zingiloglu, Fatma; Beydag, Kerime Derya
Objectives: This research was conducted to determine the effects of nurses' fear of COVID-19 on their dietary habits and use of supplements. Methods: The research, which is descriptive and cross-sectional, was shared as an online survey over the social networking site and social networking with the snowball sampling method. It was carried out between December 2020 and March 2021 with 485 nurses who worked actively during the pandemic and agreed to participate in the study. The data were obtained with the questionnaire in line with the relevant literature and the COVID -19 Fear Scale. The data were used to evaluate the number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, median, minimum, maximum, t-test, ANOVA test, and chi(2) test. Results: Fear levels were found to be higher in nurses who regularly took food supplements during the pandemic and didn't have adequate or balanced nutrition, who couldn't eat most of the time due to working conditions, who took the food supplements to help in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and who recommended them to the individuals around them (p<0.05). Conclusion: It was determined that there was an increase in nurses' use of food supplements before and during the pandemic, and this increase was statistically significant (p<0.001).
A comparative study of silver electrodeposition from pyrophosphate-cyanide and high concentration cyanide electrolytes in the presence of brighteners
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2020) Akben, Hatice Kubra; Timur, Servet Ibrahim
A study of the electrodeposition of silver from 2 different types of electrolytes; (1) neutral pyrophosphatecyanide electrolyte and (2) alkaline high concentrated cyanide electrolyte in the presence of a variety of additives such as 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, potassium selenocyanate, and potassium antimony tartrate was performed. Influence of additives and cyanide concentration on microstructure and kinetics of the cathodic processes were studied. A brightener couple, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole and potassium antimony tartrate, were combined within this investigation and detected to be highly effective for silver electrodeposition. The rapid increase in current density at the same potential interval related to grain refinement effect of potassium antimony tartrate was shown. The cyclic organic compound, 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, polarizes the reduction to high cathodic potential in pyrophosphate electrolyte. However, the sufficient levelling effect required for the mirror-bright appearance seems to be related to the high polarizing effect of the high concentration cyanide content. In the case of pyrophosphate electrolytes, sufficient levelling cannot be achieved, so semigloss coatings are obtained. The low cathodic potential electrodeposition of silver in pyrophosphate electrolyte, which is found to proceed by 3D instantaneous nucleation, is polarized to high cathodic potentials and grows into 3D progressive nucleation and diffusion-controlled growth in high concentration cyanide electrolyte.

(Marmara Univ, Inst Health Sciences, 2023) Dal, Nursel Alp; Beydag, Kerime Derya
Objective: This study was carried out to develop a measurement tool that determines the factors that may be effective in women's fear of getting pregnant and to test its validity and reliability. Methods: The sample of the study, which was carried out with a methodological design, consisted of 240 sexually active women who presented to the obstetrics clinic of a hospital in the Anatolian side of Istanbul between February 1 and June 1, 2021. The draft of the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale was created by the researchers. The item pool for the draft scale consisted of 22 items. After the validity and reliability analyses, the final form of the scale contained 18 items. The scale consisted of three dimensions: physical reasons (5 items), psychological reasons (6 items), and social reasons (7 items). After evaluating the content validity of the scale, its test-retest reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity were examined. Explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Bartlett's test of sphericity, Cronbach's alpha test, and Shapiro-Wilk test were used in the development of the scale. Results: In the validity and reliability study of the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was found to be .83. The total Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was determined as .95, and the Cronbach's alpha values of the dimensions were .91 for physical reasons, .89 for psychological reasons, and .90 for social reasons. Conclusion: In line with these data, it was determined that the Fear of Getting Pregnant Scale is a valid and reliable scale.

Prediction of Innovation Values of Countries Using Data Mining Decision Trees and a Comparative Application with Linear Regression Model
(Istanbul Univ, Sch Business, 2021) Dogruel, Merve; Umit, Seniye
Innovation levels and capacities of countries are two very important factors for competitiveness as well as the current Industrial 4.0 Revolution. In this context, capacity and level are relative concepts, with a great need for a common measurement system on global-based comparisons. The Network Readiness Index (NRI) and the Global Innovation Index (GII), which meet this need to a significant extent, are globally important indices with an effective and academic infrastructure to determine the innovation levels of countries. This study includes regression tree analysis and linear regression analysis and comparison using the indicators within the dimensions below the subscales of the GII score and NRI index based on supervised machine learning. The regression tree application aimed to make the Gil estimation based on the NRI indicators and determine the best discriminating Gil indicators. Therefore, the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm is used for analysis. The analysis result determined the indicators within the scope of NRI that are used in the Gil scores and country ranking estimation. Linear regression analysis was performed with the same data set, and the regression tree obtained by the CART algorithm was compared with the linear regression model.
The Protection of Child Rights Under the FIFA Transfer System
(Istanbul Univ, Fac Law, 2019) Basar, Feyza
The protection of minors is an important legal and social issue which concerns all stakeholders. Recently, the high mobility level of minors within the football industry has raised questions about their welfare and rights. Particularly, the exposure of young players to emotional and physical harm, financial exploitation, and human trafficking through engaging with football are the most crucial subjects in this field. This fact has been motivated international, regional and national football authorities like the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) to develop a necessary legal framework for the protection of children. International agreements such as the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and the national legislations of the States that are parties to these agreements have not been adequate to provide child athletes with enough protection from emotional and physical harm, economical exploitation and human trafficking. With a view to protecting minors from the detrimental impacts of such practices, FIFA, together with other stakeholders in football, has developed and implemented strict regulations for international transfers. Originally adopted and introduced in 2001, the Regulations on the Status and Transfer of Players (RSTP) that govern the international transfer of minors, went through modifications in 2005, 2009, and 2015 to expand its scope to improve the protection given to young players. In this paper the protection of child rights shall be considered and reviewed under the FIFA and UEFA rules and regulations in the light of the CAS decisions. This is because the CAS has been an integral part of this regulatory regime for not only being a supreme arbitral authority resolving disputes related to the violations of the framework by football stakeholders but for also clarifying its practical operation through its jurisprudence by examining and interpreting its specific provisions.
THE H-INDEX AND THE PROBLEM OF MEASURING ACADEMIC SUCCESS: STRESSING TO OVERCOME DEFICIENCIES AND LIMITATIONS
(Mehmet Akif Ersoy Univ, 2023) Firat, Serhat; Ogus Alramazanoglu, Buket; Genc, Guelsen; Karasin, Yusuf; Kurutkan, Mehmet Nurullah
The aim of this study is to determine the deficiencies of the h-index, to produce solutions in this direction and to reveal the limits of the h-index. In this study, document analysis, which is included in secondary data analysis, was used. Except for the H-index, indices used in the scientific world are generally examined in 3 groups. In this direction, a total of 33 indexes were examined by 3 scientists, each index type being compared. The publications and citations of scientists are based on the October 2021 period via Google Scholar. Although the h-index, developed by Hirsch, in which n citations to n publications of a scientist is presented as output, is the most used criterion in the scientific world, it has been determined that there are missing aspects. In the study, it was seen that the scientist with a low h-index may have a higher value in other index types. It has been concluded that the other indexes examined in the study are alternatives to the h-index and that a new type of index should be developed that exceeds all limitations..
