Öğe Multidimensional perfectionism and humor styles the predictors of life satisfaction(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Calisandemir, Fatma; Tagay, OzlemThe person that has the biggest value and importance after family is the child's first teacher in his/her life. While the child met the teacher at the beginning of the primary school in the period when pre-school education did not become widespread, now the situation has changed and the importance of pre-school education has expanded, too. Consequently, teachers of pre-school education have important tasks and responsibilities in this stage. The main purpose of this research is to reveal whether there is a relationship between multidimensional perfectionism, humor styles and life satisfaction and the extent to which the variables of multidimensional perfectionism, humor styles contribute to the prediction of subjective well-being. The inputs of the research have been obtained from totally 287 Pre-school Teacher Training students of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University. Life Satisfaction Scale that was developed by Diener, Emmons, Larsen and Griffin (1985) and adapted in Turkish by Koker and Yetim (1991) has been used to determine the students' life satisfaction levels. Besides this scale, the inputs of the study have been obtained by using Multi-Dimensional Perfectionism Scale that was developed by Hewitt and Flett (1989) and adapted in Turkish by Oral (1999) and "Humor Style Scale" that was developed by Weir (2003) and adapted in Turkish by Yerlikaya (2003). Standard multi regression analysis has been used to reveal predictive powers of their perfectionism levels' and their styles of humor's life satisfaction levels of the candidates for pre-school teaching in the research.

Selection and/or peer-review under responsibility of The Association Science Education and TechnologyÖğe Plant species microendemism, rarity and conservation of pseudo - alpine zone of Kazdagi (Mt. Ida) national park - Turkey(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Ozturk, Munir; Uysal, Ismet; Karabacak, Ersin; Celik, SezginKazdag (Mt. Ida) forms a natural border between the Provinces of Canakkale and Balikesir in the north-western part of Turkey. It was declared as National Park in 1993 because of its rich plant cover, a restricted zone of Abies nordmanniana ssp. equi-trojani forest, natural beauty and mythology. The pseudo-alpine zone consists of 189 specific and infraspecific taxa of vascular plants. A total of 55 endemic taxa (29.10%) were recorded from this area. Out of these 22 (40%) taxa are restricted only to this area, and 5 taxa are non-endemic but rare in Turkey. In this paper, habitat characteristics, conservation strategies and management of these taxa are given. Our investigations revealed that, out of 55 taxa, 12 are critically endangered (CR), 10 endangered (EN), 11 vulnerable (VU), 9 not threatened (NT) and 18 with lower risk (LC). Although Hieracium idae, Dianthus arpadianus var. trojanus, Minuartia garckeana and Paronychia sintenisii are recorded as data deficient (DD) category in IUCN criteria, these taxa are transferred to CR category.
