Abdurrahman Aktümsek An effort has been made to prepare a textbook covering the latest developments in zoology for students studying biology and taking zoology courses in different faculties. A large number of figures and pictures are presented for better understanding and reinforcement of the subjects.

Mehmet Topaktaş Genetics is the science that studies heredity and heredity in living things. In the science of genetics, besides the classic subjects such as Mendel's Studies, there are also rapidly changing fields, such as in the field of Molecular Genetics. The main thing in a genetics book is to provide the latest information in rapidly changing fields along with classical subjects. In addition, the author should reflect his own views on the book after synthesizing the acquired knowledge. For these reasons, I wanted this book to include not only the topics that I teach my students during limited class hours, but also all the basic topics that should be in a genetics book. That's what I tried to do while writing this book. For this reason, it took many years to write the book, and as a result, this work emerged. I hope that my book will add new richness to the knowledge of the target audience.
Target audience for this book:
• Scientists working in the field of genetics,
• Research assistants working on a postgraduate thesis in the field of genetics and students working on a postgraduate thesis,
• Students of the Biology, Molecular Biology and Genetics Departments of the Faculties of Science and Letters, the Science and Biology Teaching departments of the Faculties of Agriculture, Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Faculties, Education Faculties,
• Biology teachers of high schools and science teachers of primary schools and
• People from all walks of life who are interested in genetics.
The fact that the book reaches its goal will make me forget all my tiredness.

As we age, we change, and as we change, we change the world together. “Old” is the label. It is not our age that makes us old. Neither aging nor man has a single face. Every person goes from face to face throughout the day. He puts on and takes off his masks. Aging comes to us today with different faces. As we get to know them, we also recognize our aging and old age. Knowing about aging and old age means knowing the person and the age, especially in the age when the life expectancy sees 100 years and hopes that it will go beyond.
Old age doesn't have to be a sad end. As important as believing in destiny is believing that we can change it; that's the real issue. Getting old is our destiny, but changing old age is in our hands. Those who can predict their destiny can change their destiny. Seeing is possible with light. Knowledge is a powerful light. The mighty light of life in youth dazzles the eyes. In old age, however, life becomes more visible as the power of the light of life decreases. Our duty today is to improve the lives of those who can see life, to prepare the conditions for them to see a life full of peace, happiness and meaning.

Üzeyir Ok, Zümrüt Gedik, Zehra Erşahin Spiritual care and counseling, which is one of the application areas of the psychology of religion, has a strong potential in human service in different conditions. Religions and spiritual traditions; It is known that they have important roles in coping with the difficulties of life, making sense of life, feeling belonging to a social group, creating an identity and choosing a healthy life for people who belong to them. On the other hand, helping and caring for people living in difficult conditions is a universal human instinct. Helping gratuitously on a voluntary basis is seen as a virtue in almost all life philosophies and religious-spiritual traditions.
In Turkey, studies in the field of spiritual care and counseling, which bring together humanitarian service and religion-spiritualism, have gained momentum in the last 10 years. However, there are very few studies that deal with the subject holistically and in depth and emphasize the scientific basis. This book on spiritual care for the sick in hospitals intends to take existing studies a step further, both in terms of providing an empirical basis and in terms of being dedicated to a particular field.
After explaining the effect of spirituality on human mental and physical health in detail in the book, the spiritual care needs of the patients were compared with the non-sick groups in the study, and the perception levels of the religious officials who still practice spiritual care, their competencies, personality dimensions and field experiences that are effective in their competencies are discussed in depth. In addition to these, in this book, a hospital spiritual care study model has been tried to be created in line with the empirical findings and literature knowledge.

Cantürk Kayahan The demand for education in the health sector is increasing day by day. As a former health worker, my main purpose in preparing such a book is to show how people in managerial or managerial positions other than doctors and allied health personnel, or candidates, as well as medical service managers, can make a better contribution to hospital performance. Because financial performance management provides an overview of hospital management and imposes responsibility on all managers, not just finance managers. In addition to these, the harmonious work of more than one professional staff within the organizational structures of hospitals is also of great importance in terms of patient health, hospital performance and country interests.
The general acceptance of hospital administrators by hospital personnel is possible with their analytical intelligence and solution-oriented approach as well as their abilities and merits. Managers should put themselves in the shoes of patients if they want to run a good and successful hospital, and should make it their life philosophy to treat patients and their subordinates the same way they would like to be treated. Thus, the corporate hospital management approach can be assimilated at every level from the bottom to the top. As a result, it is necessary to see the need for the subject in order to write and write a book. You must know what the student needs and why he or she should learn. In this study, the “Data Envelopment Model”, which is frequently used in the financial performance analysis of hospitals, was applied step by step and a road map was created in the Appendix so that students could make applications more easily. For a better future, we expect practical and theoretical studies from our students and academicians that will contribute to the field...

Gülay Budak, Gönül Budak Regardless of the field of activity and scale (size), the management phenomenon has a universal character for all businesses and institutions. The importance of the management phenomenon comes from the fact that it covers the issues that will enable organizations to achieve their goals. Undoubtedly, the effectiveness of the manager increases as he continues to have scientific knowledge and experience in subjects with a scientific content. Thus, managers use the scarce resources of the organization in an effective and efficient way to reach the goals of the organization.
The most difficult aspect of the management profession is "managing people". People, whose expectations, needs and competencies are constantly changing, lead managers to seek different management as an increasingly complex resource.
Management is a rapidly changing and developing field of science. On the one hand, while new concepts, techniques, models and theories are brought to the field of management, on the other hand, many theories whose accuracy and validity were defended for a period of time can be disabled or transformed by being criticized.
Our Business Management book covers many current topics that will contribute to the knowledge of undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students studying in the field of business administration, as well as managers and manager candidates working at different levels of the business world.

In addition, information on probiotics and the use of probiotics in clinical spectra is presented in their latest updated versions, while different application areas of probiotics and rational nutrition are listed one after the other.
Although the effects of microbiota and probiotics on health and diseases are known, there are still many questions to be answered. Although studies on microbiota have been started in Turkey, infrastructure and standardization problems have not been resolved and there is a need for regulation in many aspects. Because this area has a strategic importance for our country. Although it is changing rapidly, our eating habits are still different from Western countries. Therefore, it is likely that we have a unique intestinal bacterial structure of our own. With the studies to be done on this subject, special diagnosis and treatment methods can be developed for us. The Microbiota, Probiotics and Rational Nutrition book, in which the latest information, experiences and the point reached are discussed by teachers working in different fields of expertise, will also be instrumental in sharing and planning on what can be done in Turkey, who will take part in what way, and how to work.
With the hope and hope that it will be useful to all its readers...

Mustafa Şahin - Sırrı Akbaba One of the traumatic experiences in childhood and adolescence is "bullying" behaviors. Bullying behaviors of various types (verbal, physical, emotional, racist, hiding, behavior disrupting, taking/destroying something belonging to someone else and sexual) seen at school and in virtual environments adversely affect the social, emotional and psychological development of children and adolescents. and cause legal problems.
These negative effects of bullying behaviors are not limited to childhood and adolescence, but it is seen that they negatively affect important personality traits such as self-esteem, self-confidence, psychological resilience, psychological well-being and feelings of love, respect, tolerance and trust in bilateral human relations.
In this work, the types, causes and consequences of bullying behavior, which is an important obstacle to individual development and positive bilateral human relations, are discussed in detail, and a model for the prevention of these behaviors with empathic skills is presented. With this book, besides academicians and practitioners (school psychological counselor, child and adolescent psychologist, classroom guidance teacher) who will work on bullying; It is aimed to help school administrators, branch teachers and parents develop awareness about the types, causes and consequences of bullying behavior.

For this reason, it is vital to be prepared for ODDs both before and after. It is imperative to produce solutions with a multidisciplinary approach to developing and dynamic ODDs. For this reason, a systematic approach is important before, during and after ODDs from a Public Health Specialist perspective. The leading ODDs that remain up to date in Türkiye are refugees and migrants who are victims of floods, earthquakes and wars in our country due to our geographical location. In addition to these, many natural and human-induced ODDs such as landslides, transportation accidents and fires are experienced. There is also an absolute need for adequate knowledge for successful intervention in ODDs. Our insufficient level of theoretical knowledge makes things difficult in the already complex disaster area, and even drags the whole operation into chaos.

Aslıhan Öztürk, Ayşin Kayış, Başak Türkmen, Berna Nur Berker Döğer, Çağdaş Özdemir, Demet Güneş, Doğa Ulcay, Elif Dönmez, Fatma Gündoğdu, Gamze Temiz, Gül Zengin, Gülden Küçükakça Çelik, Hatice Karabuğa Yakar, Hatice Öntürk Akyüz, Hülya Elmalı Şimşek, İlknur Özkan, Kadriye Nilay Genç, Miray Aksu, Pelin Calpbinici, Sebahat Atalıkoğlu Başkan, Seçil Taylan, Seda Cansu Yeniğün, Semiha Akın, Zehra Aydın, Zeynep Dülger, Zeyno Bayram The incidence of cancer cases and the rate of death causes are increasing all over the world and in our country. Modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors have a large share in this increase. Cancer is an important health problem that requires constant care and affects the whole lives of individuals. The care of the patient diagnosed with cancer includes support with physical, emotional and social aspects as well as treatment. This holistic care approach requires nurses to use all their knowledge and skills.
The rapid increase in cancer cases has been an important factor in the development of oncology nursing. The care of the cancer patient requires an interdisciplinary approach, and at this point, the oncology nurse is an important and integral element. Oncology nurses are the pioneers who convey the necessary information about the care of the patient and the reasons for the treatment and care to the patients and their families during their treatment and ensure that all these are understood. Symptom management is an important area in oncology nursing, as the symptoms that occur in cancer patients affect the continuation of treatment, quality of life, and morbidity and mortality. The symptom burden experienced by the patients varies according to the patient's age, gender, primary cancer area, stage, treatment, and the presence of another chronic disease. Nursing care in symptom management encompasses care at home or in a healthcare facility. While planning, the adaptation process and characteristics of the patient should also be taken into account. Nurses should regularly evaluate patients' symptoms, observe the presence of psychological symptoms as well as physiological symptoms, and should not forget that the symptoms experienced by patients and their families are important to them.
We hope that this book, which covers the common symptoms in oncology and the roles of the nurse in the management of these symptoms, will be a useful resource for the nursing profession.

Behiç Serpek The Organic Chemistry book, which was mainly prepared to be useful to students in biology-based faculties such as Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmacy, consists of two parts, Basic and Organic Chemistry. The first chapter starts with the structure of atoms, which are the smallest building blocks that show all the qualities of an element, and covers chemical bonds, acids and bases, important physicochemical principles, and thermodynamics with analytical methods.
In the second part, the basic principles of organic chemistry, also defined as C-Chemistry, isomer, biologically important organic substance groups and reactions specific to these groups, monomers such as amino acids and monosaccharides in the structure of living things, polymers such as proteins, polysaccharides and nucleic acids are important biochemically. molecular structures have been tried to be given briefly and concisely.
It is thought that the book, which tries to emphasize the biological and biochemical importance of the subjects prepared in color so that the changes in the molecular structures during chemical reactions can be seen more clearly and the shapes can be observed more easily, will contribute to the education in the faculties that provide biology-based education and close the gap on this subject.

The increase in the elderly population has necessitated the diversification of services for this population. Economic, psychological, social and health-related changes and problems in the life of the elderly person affect not only the elderly but also those living with them. As a result, it is necessary to carry out various studies by adopting different approaches to the problems that individuals are likely to encounter from the adult years. Based on this need, in the book "Group Programs for Individuals in Middle and Advanced Adulthood", programs and therapeutic content are planned for solving problems that can be experienced from adulthood on. The book you are reviewing is designed to consist of four functional parts. In the first part of the book, “social issues in middle and advanced adulthood” are mentioned. In this section, sessions that support communication skills, provide informative counseling, psychoeducational, life-cycle-based group therapy, adapt to menopause and andropause period, career planning in advanced adulthood, social life skills after retirement and make effective use of free time are planned. In the second part, group sessions based on cognitive-behavioral, psychoeducational, narrative therapy and mindfulness-based techniques were developed, addressing the process of “adapting to the changing cycle in advanced adulthood” under the headings of adapting to changing roles, empty nest syndrome, adaptation to second marriage, and developing grandparenting skills. In the third part, under the title of “psychological support for special groups in advanced adulthood”, psychological support groups are planned for people who are in need of special care, who are responsible for caring for the disabled and those with Alzheimer's disease, and who have adult patients in intensive care, and it is aimed to protect the mental health of individuals living with these special groups. In the fourth part, group studies supported by cognitive behavioral, expressive, humanistic and spiritual approaches were prepared for individuals who are trying to provide "psychological support to individuals in advanced adulthood" and who are trying to cope with depression, fear of death and the grieving process.
We hope that the “Group Programs for Individuals in Middle and Advanced Adults” book, which is supported by enjoyable and practical exercises, will be a resource that can be easily used by those who volunteer to support individuals in their old age.

Halit Keskin, Ali Ekber Akgün, İpek Koçoğlu The book Organization Theory has been written to introduce the discipline of organization theory to the reader, to convey different perspectives, topics and theories in this field, and to create an infrastructure that can evaluate them. In the book, from the 19th century, when modernism, which emerged with the positivist approach in social sciences, shed light on the theory of organization, how the theory of organization developed until the 21st century, when the postmodernist approach was dominant in organization theory, which approaches were dominated by the theory of organization at different times, between approaches. It is aimed to systematically convey to the reader how conflicts are reflected in organizational theory and what difficulties they create in understanding organizations. While explaining how the theory of organization emerged and developed from a historical perspective, the book also aims to illuminate how social change overlaps with developments in other fields of science and its philosophical development as well as chronologically.
For effective learning of organizational theory, the diversity and complex nature of the field must first be acknowledged. Rather than trying to reduce the theory of organization to a single point of view, it is necessary to examine and enrich it within the framework of different perspectives of many paradigms. In this book, the complexity of organizational theory and its relevance to management practices as well as to social life are revealed by critical and distinctive assessments of different approaches, beyond the coherent and complementary explanations brought by the isomorphic approaches in many books to this field. It is aimed to break stereotypes in organizational theory, to prevent analysis based on a single paradigm, to prepare a suitable ground for reflexive thinking that is open to discussion and criticism, and to encourage a supra-paradigmatic understanding. Ultimately, the reader is expected to be able to understand the organization from different perspectives, think critically, move organizational theory beyond existing thought patterns, and develop enriching theoretical dialogues.

Salih Güney The reality underlying the success of organizations in today's globalization process is organizational internal effectiveness and efficiency. Because in difficult market conditions, organizations can continue their existence as long as they keep efficiency and productivity at high levels. The basic key to bringing efficiency and productivity to the desired levels is to know the "organizational structure" well.
Organizational behavior becoming a scientific discipline is very recent. However, the basic subject of organizational behavior, the human being and his productive work is very old. The interest of all scientists working on the organization has always focused on people and their efficiency.
People take part in an organizational structure at a certain period of their lives. The existence of people in organizational life depends on their success. This is closely related to the personal development of people. In this direction, Behavioral Sciences and Organizational Behavior trainings gain importance.
This book, whose chapter titles and topics were chosen primarily based on the needs of those who aim to be successful in business life, enables individuals to take a closer look at themselves and their business lives.

Since it is thought that it can make the teaching process more enjoyable and create a basis for the permanence of knowledge, it was deemed appropriate to use intelligence games as a tool in this process. In order to enrich the content of science education teaching, we present our original and scientific book, Science Education and Activity Examples with Intelligence Games for Students with Special Education Needs, as an example to you, our valuable science teachers and education stakeholders.

Akif Avcu, Çınar Kaya, Çiğdem Demir Çelebi, Derya Eryiğit, Erdem Sevim, Halil Ekşi, K. Gamze Yaman, Mustafa Otrar, Müge Yüksel, Simel Parlak, Tuğba Türk Kurtça It is obvious that the presence of a child with special needs at home affects all family members. The financial and moral efforts of parents to support the developmental processes of their children can sometimes lead to very tiring experiences. During this time, the needs of siblings with normal development also appear, but these needs can be ignored. It should not be forgotten that having a sibling with special needs can affect a child with normal development from career choice to character. When the domestic and international literature is examined, it is seen that support groups, psychological counseling and guidance activities are mostly focused on parents, but there is not much work on siblings. The book "Living with My Special Sister", whose main purpose is to fill this gap, includes a psychoeducation program to support secondary and high school students with special needs siblings in their problems, as well as psychological counselors, psychologists, special education specialists who work/will work in the field within the scope of rehabilitation counseling. and aims to be a guide for social workers. In the five different chapters in the book, a content that will provide clues about both the social perspective and the emotions experienced by family members and their coping methods is aimed. This study, which is planned without forgetting that the sibling with normal development, as well as the parents, has a common denominator, will further strengthen the family system.

Betül İlter, Ebru Özbaş, Elif Süel, Marilena Z. Leana Taşcılar, Nüket Afat, Sevgi Topçu, Yasemin Deringöl The education of gifted and talented students, or as it has been called until today, is an area that has been known for a long time and is being developed. However, most of the studies carried out in our country focus mainly on meeting the educational needs of gifted children. Problems such as motivation, perfectionism, and math anxiety experienced by gifted children, their reflections on educational processes, and offering solutions such as bibliotherapy that can be used in support training rooms for these problems are issues that are not emphasized much. Therefore, this book; It aims to raise awareness of teacher candidates, teachers working in this field, psychological counselors, psychologists and parents of gifted children on these issues. For this purpose, academic theses and studies on the emotional problems of gifted children have been provided to you in a simpler language.
The common wish of all authors is to contribute to your being a high-aware supporter of the issues that our special talented/gifted children have emotional difficulties. We invite you to discover the inner worlds of gifted children! Happy reading….

Specific Learning Disability (SLD); It is a neurobiologically based disorder that is often noticed with the beginning of the child's academic life, but if it is not detected and intervened by specialists, its lifelong effect compels the person to struggle in all areas of his life, and genetic and environmental factors are effective. The definition of "DYSLExia" is used more often than "Specific Learning Disorder", as it is often defined as only the difficulty experienced in the "reading" skill.
Although it is sometimes defined as "disorder", sometimes "disease", sometimes "difficulty", sometimes "difference", it is a condition independent of intelligence that seriously affects both social and academic life of the individual, but in some cases it is a mis-perceived "intelligence retardation". is a hassle.
ÖÖG; Since it is a difficulty that affects language development and use, verbal and written expression, literacy and mathematics skills, it can lead to school failure and additional school adjustment problems. Considering the importance of school life in the child's mental development, when not correctly detected and intervened, the accompanying Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder, Anxiety Disorders and Behavioral Disorders are often overlooked comorbid conditions and pave the way for the child to experience emotional trauma.
As a result of nearly 10 years of experience and experience, it was decided to write this book. Practical practices of a team of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists and Child Psychologists were shared. I hope it will be used as a reference book about what are known to be true about SLD, the importance of early detection and correct intervention, and what the legal rights of the child with SLD are…

Dicle Dövencioğlu, Elif Aysimi Duman, Güneş Ünal, İnci Ayhan, Nihan Alp, Nur Soylu Yalçınkaya "This book; It consists of studies that uniquely address issues that have emerged as a result of several centuries of theoretical and empirical discoveries, contradictions and even tides in the history of psychology. The articles in the book show how wide the conceptualization level of psychology is, from the gene/environment interaction that largely determines our lives to the perception in the social environment. In addition, the book covers techniques ranging from animal models to MRI and EEG, and explains how and why psychology research has benefited from these methods. Apart from this scope and original content, another aspect that makes this book valuable is that it is in Turkish. Unfortunately, the dominance of English and its universality as the language of science brings with it the publication and dissemination of most of the researches in this language. Although the existence and prevalence of a lingua franca is important because it enables all scientists in the world to agree with each other, it is obvious that Turkish must be a scientific language and a means of communication. For this reason, I hope that this book will be an encouraging factor for young scientists to bring their ideas and products into our language.”

İbrahim Ethem Özgüven Parallel to the developments in the world, "psychological tests" in our country started as a "translation" movement of tests developed in other countries at the beginning of the current century, and there was no development effort and effort on the tests. In today's sense, writing, testing, applying, doing item analysis, choosing good questions and preparing the posttest, and conducting validity and reliability studies started in the mid-1950s. In the period since the 1950s, important institutions have been established in the fields of measurement technique, psychological tests and test development in our country.
Increasing demand for tests; It has enabled the rapid development of psychology and the branch of psychological tests in our country compared to other branches. Psychological Tests book; He focused on "test development", "appropriate use of psychological tests and appropriate interpretation of the obtained scores", "introducing psychological tests, especially those found in our country".
This book is about psychological tests in undergraduate and partially graduate programs applied in psychology, psychological counseling, psychiatry, assessment and evaluation, program development, child development and education, vocational and technical education, special education, classroom teaching, social services and other related departments of universities. It has been prepared as a “textbook” that can be read.

Psychology attracts the attention of almost everyone at some point because it tries to explain the "me" as a human being. Some want to understand themselves, some their partner, their boss, some their children and some their parents. In other words, the effort to understand people and ourselves in the first place leads us to learn psychology. As in the verses of the famous folk poet of Anatolia, Yunus Emre, which are rosewood in our language, "Science is knowledge, knowledge is knowing yourself, if you do not know yourself, it is a lot of reading".
However, this self-knowledge, self-learning, self-discovery can often turn into a toy in the hands of those who turn science into a profit for their own interests. As a matter of fact, not understanding psychology correctly "Are you reading my mind now?" It may also cause you to become the target of the question. “I am also interested in psychology.”, “We also understand psychology, I love personal development books.” Such sentences will be some of the things that those who will specialize in this field will often hear. So, is psychology really a field that anyone who is interested in can specialize in by reading a few books? I can imagine that you answered “no” to this question. Still, it can be equally dangerous to popularize psychology too much and push it away from science, leaving it only in the hands of scientists and making it elitist. Because science will only be useful as long as it reaches people and continues to develop like a living organism in life.
The science of psychology was shaped centuries ago by the answers given by philosophers to the questions they asked to understand human, and then it was born as a science on the basis of physiological studies. Psychology continues to keep our curiosity alive today, with hundreds of theories and millions of concepts written about it.

Our colleagues who provide services in the field of health and are responsible for care have very important responsibilities. Our colleagues are expected to use scientific evidence, follow up-to-date information, and convey the results of their work to care.
Our colleagues, who are aware of these responsibilities, carry out studies in many fields, especially in complementary medicine applications, in order to obtain new evidence and contribute to the development of databases of their professions.
However, the legal regulations on complementary medicine practices cause us to have difficulties in permitting the studies we will do in this field. We wanted to create this book in order to draw attention to the work of our colleagues on complementary medicine practices, whose place and importance in the field of health are well known, and to shed light on what they will do.
Hope it will be useful to your readers and the literature…

Every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. Based on this fact, therapeutic communication is an effective and empathetic communication method, where personal space, privacy, confidentiality and trust are provided, information meets compassion, which can be used to increase the delivery/quality of health services and to increase patient/client satisfaction. Health professionals should know how to communicate with patients/clients and their relatives while evaluating patients/clients; It is very important for the individuals with whom they communicate to realize that they are also human beings with their own values and feelings. This book will be a guide for healthcare professionals and students, who are future healthcare professionals, to develop their therapeutic communication skills by approaching their patients/clients with a holistic perspective.

Dilaver Tengilimoğlu, Oğuz Işık, Mahmut Akbolat Healthcare businesses that offer labor- and technology-intensive services have a complex structure.

Zafer Cirhinlioğlu At first glance, the issue of health is perceived as a purely medical issue by large segments. Those who can take a closer look at the subject can see immediately that medicine is actually involved in the last stage of any health problem. The health of individuals goes through many stages until it becomes a medical issue and can be the subject of many other scientific fields. This is because it was well understood by the universities in the West, especially in the USA, that in these countries there are many branches and innumerable researchers outside of medicine dealing with health problems.
After the first publication of this book, social science researchers began to focus on health problems in our country. Some books and researches on the subject are made and published every year. The way to be healthy is actually not to lose our health. The creation of such a ground will only be possible if the social sciences are more actively involved in the solution of the country's problems.
Approaching "health" through social sciences is also important in terms of protecting the resources of our country, which is not very developed economically. Our investments are mostly in how sick individuals can be brought back to life, for example, we continue to build new hospitals. On the contrary, modern societies focus on how individuals can not get sick and develop their health policies at this point. The development of this understanding can be done much better by the social sciences. In order to be more effective in solving the health problems of our country, social science information should be discovered especially by the administrators. This book in your hand will help our people to understand their health problems from a better and broader perspective.

All theories and conceptualizations bear traces of the special experiences of their owners. In this respect, it is valuable to examine the thinkers and thoughts that look at a subject from different perspectives. Based on such a justification, this book brings together thinkers with sociological perspectives on illness and health. For this purpose, 49 names from different fields, but thought to be related to health and disease, were studied. thinkers; short life stories, basic thoughts, views on health and disease have been systematically examined, and a different, rich and valuable information has emerged about the sociology of health and illness.

The book includes the existing or realized practices within the theoretical context of the issue of children living on the street.

Aysel Aziz How is research done in the social sciences? The book tries to answer this question from A to Z, starting from the thought stage of the research, explaining what processes it went through, how its design was made, how the data sources related to the research were collected, what observation techniques were available. Among these observation techniques, indirect and direct methods and data collection techniques used in both academic studies and social research are explained. It focuses on the features of preparing a questionnaire (questionnaire), one of the common observation techniques needed in many fields. Monography, content and discourse analysis, which are widely and intensively used as observation techniques, and oral history studies and action research, which are among the direct observation methods that are becoming more and more widespread in different disciplines, are also included. In the last part of the research, the rules for writing the findings and results of a research are explained.
In the "Appendix" part of the research, there are updated examples of data collection techniques described in the book and jargon definitions related to the field.

Yalçın Karagöz This book; specially prepared for scientific research. The examples related to the subjects were solved first theoretically and then with SPSS, AMOS and META package program. A researcher who wants to do statistical analysis; will be able to analyze and interpret the results by looking only at the subject of interest without examining the entire book.
The book has been prepared by taking into account the contents of SPSS, AMOS and META package programs, which are frequently used in scientific research. In addition, MINITAP package program was used for power analysis.
In the classification of analysis techniques; The number of variables, data characteristics and the purpose of the analysis were taken into account. Almost all univariate and multivariate statistical analysis methods are explained. Almost all of the parametric and non-parametric statistical analysis methods are explained. In addition, association measures, reliability and item analysis, structural equation modeling were examined in detail.
Although this book has been prepared especially for scientific research, it can also be used for undergraduate and graduate education since it also contains theoretical information.
