Bu kapsamda lisansüstü öğrencilerin motivasyonu ve öğrenmeleri sırasında karşılaştıkları başlıca zorluklar üzerinde durulmuştur. Çalışmada farklı motivasyon teorileri kullanılmış ve bu bağlamda, çalışma özellikle enstrümantal ve bütünleştirici motivasyona odaklanan sosyo-eğitim modelini ele almıştır (Gardner, Tremblay ve Masgoret, 1977, Gardner ve Tremblay, 1995). Yabancı dil motivasyonuna yönelik çalışmalar çoğunlukla nicel yöntemle gerçekleştirilirken, bu çalışmada karma yöntem yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Verileri toplamak için, 2018-2019 eğitim öğretim yılında Marmara Üniversitesi'nde Türkçe öğrenen 60 yüksek lisans öğrencisine 5’li derecelemeli Likert ölçeğiyle puanlanan soru formu (anket) uygulanmış ve yarı yapılandırılmış mülakat gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada ayrıntılı bilgi sahibi olmak ve kontrol edilemeyen dağılımdan kaçınmak için...

The study is based on survey methodology through a questionnaire administered on the owners and employees of small firms. Data are analyzed using statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). Two hypotheses are proposed and tested. The characteristic of entrepreneur is found to be a significant factor for business success of SMEs in Bangladesh. However the firm characteristics are found not to be significant factor on the business success of SMEs in Bangladesh. The results of the analysis show that only one of the demographic factors which is duration of organization operated has significant effect toward business success of SMEs. SMEs that are operated longer period have been more successful in comparison to those who have been in operation for a shorter period. In addition to this, independent sample t-test shows that gender plays a significant role on business success of SMEs in Bangladesh. This study has implications for entrepreneurs and policy makers.

The clinical phenotype is variable and includes asymptomatic individuals, episodic hemolysis induced by oxidative stress, and chronic hemolysis. G6PD deficiency is common in malaria-endemic regions, an observation hypothesized to be due to balancing selection at the G6PD locus driven by malaria. G6PD deficiency increases risk of severe malarial anemia, a key determinant of invasive bacterial disease in malaria-endemic settings. The pneumococcus is a leading cause of invasive bacterial infection and death in African children. The effect of G6PD deficiency on risk of pneumococcal disease is undefined. We hypothesized that G6PD deficiency increases pneumococcal disease risk and that this effect is dependent upon malaria. Methods We performed a genetic case-control study of pneumococcal bacteremia in Kenyan children stratified across a period of falling malaria transmissi...
