Öğe An interactive web application for propensity score matching with R shiny; example of thrombophilia(2020) Demir, Emre; Köse, Serdal Kenan; Akmeşe, Ömer Faruk; Yıldırım, EnginAim: The aim of this study was to develop a new web-based R Shiny package that calculates propensity score using many algorithms such as logistic regression, machine learning, and performs matching analysis with balance evaluation. In addition, it was aimed to explain the process of matching analysis on a real data set by comparing the number of live births between those with methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) homozygous mutations and those without mutations in women hospitalized due to abortion in the gynecology and obstetrics clinic. Material and Methods: The web-based application was developed using R shiny. The “matchIt” library was used for matching analysis and PS prediction. The “cobalt” library was used to evaluate balance and generate plots. Results: The abortion variable, which was statistically significantly different in the groups before matching (p=0.010), was similar in the groups after matching (p=0.743). In addition, when the descriptive statistics and p values of the other variables were examined, it was seen that almost full balance was achieved after matching and the confounder variables were similar distributed in groups. After matching analysis, it was determined that the result variable “livebirths” did not show statistically significant difference in the groups (p=0.864). Conclusion: In this study, we developed an interactive web application for matching analysis based on propensity score. It is thought that this application will facilitate the studies of the researchers.Öğe Bibliometric analysis of publications on house dust mites during 1980-2018(Elsevier Espana Slu, 2020) Demir, Emre; Akmeşe, Ömer Faruk; Erbay, Hasan; Taylan Özkan, Hikmet Ayşegül; Mumcuoğlu, Kosta Y.Background: The global prevalence of allergic diseases has increased dramatically in recent years and are now recognized as significant chronic diseases worldwide. One of the most important allergens that causes allergic diseases is house dust mites. Objective: This study aims to present a bibliometric overview of research published on dust mites between 1980 and 2018. Methods: Articles published from 1980 to 2018 were analyzed using bibliometric methods. The keywords ?Dust mite*,? and ? Dermatophagoides ? were used in the Web of Science (WoS). Simple linear regression analysis was used to estimate the number of future publications on this subject. Results: A total of 4742 publications were found, 2552 (53.8%) of them were articles. Most of the articles were on subjects related to immunology (1274; 49.9%) and allergy (1229; 48.1%). Clinical and Experimental Allergy (222; 8.7%) was the journal with the most publications. The USA was the country that most contributed to the literature with 461 (18.1%) articles. The countries producing the most publications on this subject were developed countries. The most active author was W.R. Thomas (66; 2.5%). The most productive institution was the University of Western Australia (91; 3.6%). The most cited article was published in the New England Journal of Medicine .Conclusion: According to the findings, developed countries were the most productive in publishing on house dust mites. By planning multinational research rather than regional studies, it may be suggested that researchers in underdeveloped or developing countries could also-conduct more research on this subject.(C) 2019 SEICAP.

Also, distance education contributes to human’s lifelong learning through giving education opportunities to working people whose financial situation and time are limited. With the development of information technologies in the world and Turkey, distance education methods and techniques also developed. Also the more the number of students taking part in distance education rises, the more the number of institutions giving distance education rises. Needs for preparing contents and managing these contents for lessons given by distance education method appeared with this raise. On this study, a platform has been developed for lecturers to create lesson contents and the efficiency of developed implementation has been analyzed statistically. It is aimed on distance education to design an efficient content development system through thinking the roles such as lecturers, managers and studentsÖğe A study on the factors affecting the academic performance of distance education students and formal students(Hitit Üniversitesi, 2016) Kör, Hakan; Erbay, Hasan; Demir, Emre; Akmeşe, Ömer FarukRecently the numbers of distance education programs and students enrolling in them have increased significantly. This increase also carries the question of what factors may have an effect on academic success. The demographic features, motivation levels, personal development status and basic computer literacy of students have been taken into account and their effects on the academic success of students have been analyzed. With this purpose, surveys prepared with the help of professional opinion have been applied to certain groups. The sample group of this study consists students of the Kırıkkale University Distance Education Center and the formal education students of the Kırıkkale Vocational School. The results have been analyzed with the help of the SPSS data analysis program (version 22.0) and have been turned into figures. The academic success of distance learning students and formal education students have been compared and this data has been used to identify whether there are any significant connections between academic success and the factors determined. In the conclusion of this study, the figures have been explained separately, and suggestions have been made regarding both distance education and formal education.Öğe Student perceptions for distance education and efficiency analysis of the system(Hitit Üniversitesi, 2016) Akmeşe, Ömer Faruk; Demir, Emre; Dünder, EmreWith the increase in the number of universities and students requesting distance education as well as the development of Information Technologies, new institutions providing distance education have come up and this situation has made the research of the efficiency of distance education a more important issue. Considering the social and economic structure, population growth rate and young population as well as the number of students and academicians in our country, it is realized that distance education is of high importance for our country. The aim of this study is to evaluate the distance education used in the mutual courses in Hitit University in 2013-2014 educational term (Turkish Language, Ataturk’s Principles and History of Turkish Revolution) by the students, to analyze the efficiency and to develop distance education system in accordance with these findings. Survey method has been used to measure the perceptions of the students for distance learning and to evaluate the system of distance learning. The sampling of the research has been conducted with 321 students chosen randomly and homogeneously among 4000 students actively studying in the faculties, graduated from schools and vocational schools of Hitit University.
