This study examines students&amp / #65533 / perceptions about level of communication, online course support, satisfaction in a web enhanced course and students&amp / #65533 / feelings about computers and the web. Addition to them gender differences in students&amp / #65533 / perceptions were studied. The data were collected by using survey at the end of the term and analyzed by using descriptive statistical analyzing methods. Results showed that students&amp / #65533 / feelings about computers and the web were slightly positive. Students&amp / #65533 / perceptions about online course support were slightly positive. Students&amp / #65533 / perceptions were neutral about level of communication and satisfaction results. No difference has found in students&amp / #65533 / computer and the web feelings, level of communication, online course support and satisfaction results in terms of gender.

Each year many forest fires have occurred and huge amount of forest areas in each country have been lost. Turkey like many world countries have forest fire problem. 27 % of Turkey&amp / #65533 / s lands are covered by forest and 48 % of these forest areas are productive, however 52 % of them must be protected. There occurred 21000 forest fires due to several reasons between 1993 and 2002. It is estimated that 23477 ha area has been destroyed annually due to wildfires. The fire management strategies can be built on the scenarios derived from the simulation processes. In this study a GIS &amp / #65533 / based fire simulating model is used to simulate a past fire occurred in Marmaris &amp / #65533 / &Ccedil / etibeli, Turkey, in August 2002. This model uses Rothermel&amp / #65533 / s surface fire model, Rothermel&amp / #65533 / s and Van Wagner&amp / #65533 / s crown fire model and Albini&amp / #65533 / s torching tree model. The input variables required by the model can be divided into four groups: fuel type, fuel moisture, topography and wind. The suitable fuel type classification of the vegetation of the study area has been performed according to the Northern Forest Fire Laboratory (NFFL) Fuel Model. The fuel moisture data were obtained from the experts working in the General Directorate of Forestry. The fire spread pattern was derived using two IKONOS images representing the pre- and post-fire situations by visual interpretation. Time of arrival, the rate of spread and the spread direction of the fire were obtained as the output and 70 % of the burned area was estimated correctly from the fire simulating model.

In der Zeit der Weimarer Republik war Adele Schreiber eine der bekanntesten Frauen Deutschlands und in allen Verzeichnissen bekannter deutscher Frauen zu finden. Durch den Bruch in ihrem Leben, herbeigeführt durch die sich abzeichnende Herrschaft der Nationalsozialisten, die sie ins Exil zwang, geriet sie in Vergessenheit und war schon nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg in die Bedeutungslosigkeit gefallen. In der vorliegenden Arbeit soll nicht nur das Leben Adele Schreibers an sich, sondern auch ihre Position in der Frauenbewegung ab der Jahrhundertwende thematisiert werden, die zahlreichen Querverbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Organisationen, aber auch zwischen Adele Schreiber und anderen Mitstreiterinnen. Adele Schreiber ist eine derjenigen Frauen, die seit der Jahrhundertwende in vorderster Reihe in der Frauenbewegung mitgekämpft haben. Setzte sie sich, 1898 in Berlin angekommen, zuerst intensiv für die Schaffung einer Frauenversicherung ein, so kämpfte sie wenig später gleichermaßen für das Frauenwahlrecht und engagierte sich im Mutter- und Kinderschutz. Doch neben aller sozialpolitisch engagierten Arbeit und journalistischer Tätigkeit für die Durchsetzung der Rechte der Frau war Adele Schreiber auch politisch tätig. Als Reichstagsmitglied der SPD ab 1920 bemühte sie sich auf politischer Ebene um eine gesetzlich festgelegte Anerkennung und Mündigkeit der Frau. Selbst nach dem Exil, das sie in der Schweiz und in Großbritannien verbrachte, verfolgte sie bis zu ihrem Tod 1957 mit wachen Augen die politischen Entwicklungen in Deutschland und der Welt. / During the time of the Weimar republic, Adele Schreiber was one of the most famous women in Germany and could be found all the accounts by well-known German women. Due to the break in her life brought about by the threatening seizure of power by the National Socialists which forced her into exile, she became forgotten and by the end of the Second World War she had already disappeared into insignificance. The following work attempts not only to explore the life of Adele Schreiber itself, but also her position in the women's movement from the turn of the century onwards, the numerous inter-connections between the separate organisations and between Adele Schreiber and other fellow-activists. Adele Schreiber is among those women who fought in the front line of the women's movement from the turn of the century onwards. Having initially committed herself intensively, as a newcomer in Berlin in 1898, to the cause of introducing an insurance for women, she fought equally hard a short time later for women's suffrage and she became involved in the issues of maternity leave and child protection. But besides all her committed socio-political activities and her work as a journalist for the attainment of women's rights, Adele Schreiber was also politically active. As a member of the Reichstag for the SPD from 1920 onwards, she strived in the political arena for a legally effective acknowledgement and declaration of women as political entities. Even after she went into exile in Switzerland and Great Britain she followed vigilantly the political developments in Germany and throughout the world until her death in 1957.
