This descriptive and cross-sectional study aims to evaluate academic dishonesty among university nursing students in Turkey. The study's sample included 196 students. Two instruments were used for gathering data. The first instrument, a questionnaire, which included some socio-demographic variables (age, class, gender, education, family structure, parents' attitude and educators' attitude) formed the first part. The second part included the Academic Dishonesty Tendency Scale developed by Eminoğlu and Nartgün. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Kruskall Wallis, One-way Anova, t- test and Mann-Whitney U test. It was found that academic dishonesty was at medium-level (2.60-3.39) in nursing students.

This study was carried out with the aim of determining the effect of the professional behaviour of nurses on their job satisfaction. The sample of the study included 531 nurses working in university, state and private hospitals in Turkey. Data were collected using two questionnaires which included the demographic characteristics of nurses, a Behavioral Inventory Form for Professionalism in Nursing (BIPN) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. The results from the BIPN showed that the mean score of nurses was low. The mean score of job satisfaction was at a medium level. The relationship between job satisfaction and professionalism was found to be statistically significant and in the positive direction. Based on this result, in order to increase job satisfaction, increasing the performance of arrangements directed towards the development of professional behaviour that is found within the scope of the professionalism scale is recommended.

Nursing has been a dynamic process since the existence of humanity on Earth. As a part of this process, whether nursing is an occupation or a profession has been a long-lasting question. There exist different sets of criteria and schemes of classification that are used to define professions. In this article the authors inquire into the professionalism of nursing in Turkey in view of the criteria for nursing professionalism first set by B. K. Miller et al. (1993).

Günümüzde hızlı nüfus artışı ve sanayileşme ile birlikte enerji ihtiyacı her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu enerji ihtiyacının büyük kısmı petrol ve kömür gibi fosil kaynaklardan karşılanmaktadır. Hem artan enerji ihtiyacını karşılamak hem de fosil kaynakların zararlarını azaltmak için yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına olan ilgi artmaktadır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarından olan güneş enerjisi gelecek için en önemli alternatif enerji kaynaklarının başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Isparta ilinde kurulması düşünülen parabolik güneş kolektörlü Organik Rankine Çevriminin (ORC) modellemesi ve sistemin termodinamik analizi yapılmıştır. Kojenerasyon sisteminin birinci ve ikinci yasa analizleri yapılarak enerji ve ekserji verimleri hesaplanmıştır. Parabolik güneş kolektörleri yardımıyla toplanan ısı, ORC sisteminde mekanik güce dönüştürülerek evin elektrik ihtiyacı karşılanmıştır. Daha sonra sisteminin kondenser kısmından atılan ısı ise evin ısıtma ihtiyacını karşılamak için kullanılmıştır. Böylece fosil kaynakların çevreye verdiği zarar önlenmiş olunacak ve yakıt tasarrufu sağlanacaktır. With today's rapid population growth and industrialization, energy needs are increasing day by day. Much of this energy needs come from fossil sources such as oil and coal. There is increasing interest in renewable energy sources in order to meet both the increasing energy demand and the fossil resources. Solar energy from renewable energy sources is one of the most important alternative energy sources for the future. In this study, the model of Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) with parabolic solar collector assumed to be established in Isparta province and the thermodynamic analysis of the system are done. First and second law analyzes of the cogeneration system were performed and energy and exergy yields were calculated. The electricity needs of the house were met by converting to ORC with mechanical collecting using parabolic solar collectors. Then the driver includes the heating requirement of the house for the discharge of the condenser from the container. Thus, damage caused by fossil resources will be prevented and fuel saving will be ensured.

Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted illustrations and for supplying the proper creditline information. For the transliteration of Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish, Muqarnas follows the system used by the International Journal of Middle East Studies. All transliterated words and phrases in the text and transliterated authors' names and titles in the endnotes must follow this system. Exceptions are proper nouns (names of persons, dynasties, and places) and Arabic words that have entered the English language and have generally recognized English forms (e.g., madrasa, iwan, mihrab, Abbasid, Muhammad); these should be anglicized and not italicized. Place names and names of historical personages with no English equivalent should be transliterated but, aside from ʿayn and hamza, diacritical marks should be omitted (e.g., Maqrizi, Fustat, Sanʿa).
