    Database Covering the Prayer Movements Which Were Not Available Previously
    (Nature Publishing Group, 2023) Mihçin, Şenay; Şahin, Ahmet Mert; Yılmaz, Mehmet; Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Tuna, Merve; Akdeniz, Sevinç; Can, Nuray Korkmaz; Tosun, Aliye; Şahin, Serap
    Lower body implants are designed according to the boundary conditions of gait data and tested against. However, due to diversity in cultural backgrounds, religious rituals might cause different ranges of motion and different loading patterns. Especially in the Eastern part of the world, diverse Activities of Daily Living (ADL) consist of salat, yoga rituals, and different style sitting postures. A database covering these diverse activities of the Eastern world is non-existent. This study focuses on data collection protocol and the creation of an online database of previously excluded ADL activities, targeting 200 healthy subjects via Qualisys and IMU motion capture systems, and force plates, from West and Middle East Asian populations with a special focus on the lower body joints. The current version of the database covers 50 volunteers for 13 different activities. The tasks are defined and listed in a table to create a database to search based on age, gender, BMI, type of activity, and motion capture system. The collected data is to be used for designing implants to allow these sorts of activities to be performed.

    Database Covering the Previously Excluded Daily Life Activities
    (2023) Mihçin, Şenay; Şahin, Ahmet Mert; Yılmaz, Mehmet; Alpkaya, Alican Tuncay; Tuna, Merve; Can, Nuray Korkmaz; Şahin, Serap; Akdeniz, Sevinç; Tosun, Aliye
    In biomedical engineering, implants are designed according to the boundary conditions of gait data and tested against. However, due to diversity in cultural backgrounds, religious rituals might cause different ranges of motion and different loading patterns. Especially in the Eastern part of the world, diverse Activities of Daily Living (ADL) consist of salat, yoga rituals, and different style sitting postures. Although databases cover ADL for the Western population, a database covering these diverse activities of the Eastern world, specific to these populations is non-existent. To include previously excluded ADL is a key step in understanding the kinematics and kinetics of these activities. By means of developments in motion capture technologies, excluded ADL data are captured to obtain the coordinate values to calculate the range of motion and the joint reaction forces. This study focuses on data collection protocol and the creation of an online database of previously excluded ADL activities, targeting 200 healthy subjects via Qualisys and IMU motion capture systems, and force plates, from West and Middle East Asian populations. Anthropometrics are known to affect kinematics and kinetics which are also included in the collected data. The current version of the database covers 50 volunteers for 12 different activities, the database aims for 100- male and 100- female healthy volunteers as the final target including C3D and BVH file types. The tasks are defined and listed in a table to create a database to make a query based on age, gender, BMI, type of activity and motion capture system. The data is collected only from a healthy population to understand healthy motion patterns during these previously excluded ADLs. The collected data is to be used for designing implants to allow these sorts of activities to be performed without compromising the quality of life of patients performing these activities in the future.

    A Novel Efficient Method for Tracking Evolution of Communities in Dynamic Networks
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) Karataş, Arzum; Şahin, Serap
    Tracking community evolution can provide insights into significant changes in community interaction patterns, promote the understanding of structural changes, and predict the evolutionary behavior of networks. Therefore, it is a fundamental component of decision-making mechanisms in many fields such as marketing, public health, criminology, etc. However, in this problem domain, it is an open challenge to capture all possible events with high accuracy, memory efficiency, and reasonable execution times under a single solution. To address this gap, we propose a novel method for tracking the evolution of communities (TREC). TREC efficiently detects similar communities through a combination of Locality Sensitive Hashing and Minhashing. We provide experimental evidence on four benchmark datasets and real dynamic datasets such as AS, DBLP, Yelp, and Digg and compare them with the baseline work. The results show that TREC achieves an accuracy of about 98%, has a minimal space requirement, and is very close to the best performing work in terms of time complexity. Moreover, it can track all event types in a single solution.

    A Review on Predicting Evolution of Communities
    (Selçuk Üniversitesi, 2021) Karataş, Arzum; Şahin, Serap
    In recent years, research on dynamic networks has increased as the availability of data has grown tremendously. Understanding the dynamic behavior of networks can be studied at the mezzo-scale (e.g., at the community level), as communities are the most informative structure in nonrandom networks and also evolve over time. Tracking the evolution of communities can provide evolution patterns to predict their future development. For example, a community may either grow into a larger community, remain stable, shrink into a smaller community, split into several smaller communities, or merge with another community. Predicting these evolutions is one of the most difficult problems in social networks. Better predictions of community evolution can provide useful information for decision support systems, especially for group-level tasks. So far, this problem has been studied by some researchers. However, there is a lack of a survey/review of existing work. This has prompted us to conduct this study. In this paper, we first categorize the existing works according to their methodological principles. Then, we focus on the works that use machine learning classifiers for prediction in this decade as they are in majority. We then highlight open problems for future research. In this way, this paper provides an up-to-date overview and a quick start for researchers and developers in the field of community evolution prediction.
