    ANALYSIS OF RANDOM DISCRETE TIME LOGISTIC MODEL

    Merdan, Mehmet; Şişman, Şeyma

    In this study, the behavior of the logistic difference model is investigated under random conditions using discrete probability distributions. The logistic difference model consists of parameters that depend on the population models to be used. For the study of random difference equation population models, the parameters are treated as random variables which constitutes the basis of the study. Random models were created using Uniform, Bernouilli, Binom, Negative Binomial (or Pascal), Geometric, Hypergeometric, Poisson distributions and their numerical characteristics are obtained through their simulations. Then, the results showing random numerical characteristics such as expected value, variance, standard deviation, coefficient of variation and confidence intervals were obtained with MATLAB package program. Analysis of random logistic difference model is given with the help of graphics and tables.

    Reading comprehension, Mathematics self-efficacy perception, and Mathematics attitude as correlates of students’ non-routine Mathematics problem-solving skills in Turkey

    Öztürk, Mesut; Akkan, Yaşar; Kaplan, Abdullah

    Literature that investigates the factors affecting problem-solving evaluates the cognitive and affective components, such as reading comprehension, metacognition, Mathematics anxiety, Mathematics attitude and Mathematics self-efficacy. Recently, studies have shown that Mathematics attitude and Mathematics self-efficacy as affective factors, and reading comprehension as a cognitive factor could play a crucial role in the problem-solving of middle school students. This study investigated the influence of reading comprehension skill, Mathematics self-efficacy perception and Mathematics attitude on non-routine Mathematics problem-solving skills. It is hypothesized that non-routine problem-solving skills are related to reading comprehension skills, Mathematics self-efficacy perception and Mathematics attitudes. To achieve this aim, a reading comprehension skill test, a Mathematics self-efficacy perception scale, a Mathematics attitude scale and a non-routine problem-solving skill test were applied. The instruments were completed by 362 middle school students. A correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship of variables on non-routine problem-solving skills, and the predictive effects of the predictor variables on non-routine Mathematics problem-solving skills were examined by hierarchical regression analysis. The analysis also showed that for middle-school students’ non-routine Mathematics problem-solving skills, all related factors–reading comprehension, Mathematics self-efficacy perception and Mathematics attitude were significant. Reading comprehension skills and Mathematics self-efficacy perception significantly predicted problem-solving skills, and both predictors explained a total of 22% of the total variance.

    Rethinking European Union In A Changing World: Politics, Economics And Issues

    Ugur, Omer

    With the establishment of the EU, the goals and policies pursued through European Communities, and the targets and policies covered by new action areas, which include Economic and Monetary Union, European Citizenship, Common Security and Foreign Policy which will be progressed gradually by European Union treaty, have started to be addressed as a whole. The identity of the EU at the global level has also experienced change. In this context, the EU represents a political structure on its own, with its institu-tions, activities and authority, which constitute a supranational structure. Of course, it is not possible to say that this process continues without any problems and disputes. However, when we look at the development process of the EU, it is seen that this change and the transformation continue in the context of the requirements and the process continues dynamically. In this context, this study includes other studies discussing the developments of the EU in different policy spaces. In these studies, it has been examined whether EU policies have an impact on national structures, practices and actors and if there is, how and under what conditions this has become clear.

    A fuzzy decision maker to determine optimal starting time of shiftable loads in the smart grids

    Altaş, Ismail Hakkı; Çakmak, Recep

    Smart grid studies have been increased tremendously for past ten years in order to modernise and solve problems of current electrical grids. One of the aim of the smart grids is to react autonomously to the problems in electrical networks by means of artificial intelligence and decision maker. Fuzzy logic-based embedded control systems simulate human thoughts and decision making processes. So, fuzzy logic and fuzzy decision makers can be utilised in smart grids for automated system management. In this paper, a fuzzy decision maker has been proposed to manage time-shiftable loads in residences. The proposed fuzzy decision maker determines optimal starting time of time-shiftable loads in residential areas in order to provide balanced power curve and decrease peak load consumptions by scheduling the loads. Design stage of the proposed fuzzy decision maker have been introduced and presented clearly. Finally, a design example has been given to show the decision results.

    Hazard analysis using a Bayesian network and linear programming

    Efe, Burak; Kurt, Mustafa; Efe, Ömer Faruk

    In order to make a system safer, it is necessary to determine which hazard should be removed by considering the interactions of all hazards in the process. In this study, the influence of the hazards related to iron works in a construction firm is examined by Bayesian network approach. If only the most important hazard is identified and removed from the work environment, it may be erroneous to comment on the levels of the remaining hazards. A Bayesian network is proposed to remove this problem. If there is more time and budget than planned for a process, these capacities will have to be reduced in other processes. Linear programming is proposed to remove this problem. A strong decision support system has been established by combining a Bayesian network and linear programming. A construction firm application has been demonstrated using the proposed method.

    Phytochemical profile and biological activity of a therapeutic orchid from Anatolia: Dactylorhiza romana subsp. georgica

    Kotiloğlu, Deniz; Acet, Tuba; Özcan, Kadriye

    In Anatolia, the tubers of Dactylorhiza romana subsp. georgica orchid are consumed as food and frequently used in folk medicine to alleviate the symptoms of some disorders. However, these properties have not been scientifically studied until the present day. In this research, we aimed to identify phenolic profile of the orchid tubers and determine their several features and functions. Among these, there are the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and the inhibitory effect against diabetes related enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase). In this sense, total phenolic content (Folin–Cicalteu assay), total antioxidant capacity (Phosphomolybdate method), antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH assays) and enzyme inhibition effects of tuber extracts obtained with different solvents (chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, or hexane) were determined by using spectrophotometric methods, and the phenolic profile was also analysed by HPLC. In addition, antimicrobial activity of the extracts against 3 g (+) and 3 g (−) bacteria and 2 forms of yeasts was determined by disc diffusion and micro dilution methods. Based on our findings, the total phenolic content and antioxidant properties of ethyl acetate extract were considerably higher than the others. The most abundant among the screened phenolic standards was found to be benzoic acid. The highest α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition was measured in methanol and chloroform extracts, respectively. The highest antibacterial (B. cereus) and anticandidal (C. tropicalis and C. albicans) activities were detected in the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively. In short, it was clearly seen that the D. romana subsp. georgica tuber had a great potential for being used in food and drug industries as a source of bioactive compounds.

    Validating InSAR-SBAS results by means of different GNSS analysis techniques in medium- and high-grade deformation areas

    Yalvac, Sefa

    This study aimed to validate the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) method by using relative and absolute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) techniques. In this context, two land subsidence areas, one high (Mexico City) and one medium (Aguascalientes), were monitored between 2014 and 2018 by using Sentinel 1A satellite data. The monitoring was carried out with the Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) technique using 46 images for Mexico City and 18 images for Aguascalientes. Concordantly, the GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) data in the regions were analyzed with relative and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS analysis techniques. The time series obtained from three different analyses were compared and the results were evaluated in light of statistical criteria. According to the results, it is determined that the InSAR-SBAS technique can vary up to ± 20 mm from the displacement values obtained from GNSS due to various noise sources. Such deviations were limited to a few samples, and in general the differentiations were reasonable in the range of 7–8 mm. The difference between the deformation velocity estimation results obtained from the three different methods varied between 3 and 10 mm/year. In this context, these findings suggest that the InSAR-SBAS technique is an effective method for monitoring land deformation with the accuracy of sub-centimeter decided. In addition, PPP which has become an increasingly popular technique showed fast and reliable results in the range of 5–10 mm for InSAR verification. Moreover, with this study, most current results for Mexico City, which is the world’s fastest subsiding metropole, were achieved. In the central region of the city, the detected 300 mm/year of subsidence rate was updated as 370 mm/year. In addition, Aguascalientes was monitored by using the Sentinel 1A satellite mission for the first time in this study. The 60 mm/year subsidence rate obtained for Aguascalientes in previous studies was updated and it was estimated that there are zones where this rate reaches up to − 115 mm/year levels. In this regard, it was concluded that the deformation rate has increased for both regions since the previous monitoring studies.

    Effects of Mn Content on Microstructure, Mechanical and Dry Sliding Wear Properties of Eutectic Al–Si–Cu Alloy

    Alemdag, Yasin; Beder, Murat

    Abstract: In the present study, effects of Mn content on microstructure, hardness, tensile and dry sliding wear properties of eutectic Al–Si–Cu alloy in as cast-state were investigated. Mn addition to the eutectic alloy results in the formation of α-Al15Mn3Si2 phase in its microstructure. It was found that hardness of eutectic alloy increases continuously with increasing Mn content while its tensile strength and percentage elongation values decrease. It was also found that the friction coefficient and volume loss of eutectic alloy decrease as Mn content increases. Amongst the alloys, the lowest friction coefficient is obtained with Al–12Si–3Cu–2Mn alloy yet the Al–12Si–3Cu–1Mn alloy exhibits the highest wear resistance. Formation of adhesion layer, its oxidation and delamination were observed to be main wear mechanisms of Al–12Si–3Cu–(0–2)Mn alloys. These findings are explained in terms of formation of α-Al15Mn3Si2 phase, and its cracking tendency effect. Graphic abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

    Food label reading habits of health sciences students

    Odaman, Tayyibe Ayşe; Bahar, Rabia; Şam, Sedanur; Ilyasoğlu, Huri

    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the food label reading habits of health sciences students. Design/methodology/approach: The data were collected through a face-to-face survey with voluntary students (n: 520). The survey questionnaire consisted of three parts to gather information about their demographic and anthropometric characteristics and food label reading habits. Chi-squared test and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings: The health sciences students mostly read the food name, expiration date and ingredients on the food labels. However, they paid less attention to the nutrient contents, such as the fat type and carbohydrate, cholesterol, sugar, fiber and salt amounts. The female students paid more attention to the nutrient contents than the male students. Moreover, the Nutrition and Dietetics students paid more attention to the nutrient contents than the other students. Significant negative correlations were found between the carbohydrate, protein and fat amount reading habits and both the body mass index (p = 0.005, p = 0.001 and p < 0.001) and waist to height ratio (p = 0.040, p = 0.005 and p = 0.022). Research limitations/implications: This study does not allow one to draw conclusions for all university students. Originality/value: This study is first such study performed among health sciences students in Turkey.

    Evaluating the feasibility of blockchain in logistics operations: A decision framework

    Ar, Ilker Murat; Erol, Ismail; Peker, Iskender; Ozdemir, Ali Ihsan; Medeni, Tunc Durmus; Medeni, Ihsan Tolga

    The main purpose of this study is to investigate the feasibility of blockchain technology in logistics industry using a quantitative approach. To this end, a decision framework is proposed based on a multi-criteria decision structure that incorporates AHP into VIKOR under Intuitionistic Fuzzy Theory. This integration presents different solutions and rankings based on different decision-making strategies and also captures uncertainty in the evaluation process. While Intuitionistic Fuzzy AHP calculates the importance weights of the proposed criteria indicated as scalability, privacy, interoperability, audit, latency, visibility, trust, and security, Fuzzy VIKOR ranks the logistics operations demonstrated as materials handling, warehousing, order processing, transportation, packaging, fleet management, labeling, vehicle routing and product returns management. The proposed decision framework was applied in a large-scale logistics company located in Turkey. The findings of this study suggest that while the most important criteria are security, visibility and audit, the most feasible logistics operations proved to be transportation, materials handling, warehousing, order processing and fleet management in a possible blockchain implementation. The decision framework in this study may enable decision makers to evaluate the feasibility of blockchain in logistics operations, which is one of the main research gaps in the current blockchain research. Furthermore, this is the first study that integrates AHP and VIKOR methods under Intuitionistic Fuzzy Theory in the context of blockchain.

    A Neutrosophic VIKOR Method-Based Decision-Making with an Improved Distance Measure and Score Function: Case Study of Selection for Renewable Energy Alternatives

    Eroğlu, Hasan; Şahin, Ridvan

    In this study, a new score and distance function which provides more accurate results than the studies in the literature and considers the decision maker’s cognition has been proposed. In order to show the effects of the new score function coefficients on neutrosophic numbers, a new representation named “4D Plot” has been proposed. VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje which means multicriteria optimization and compromise solution in Serbian) method, which is based on the creation of a conciliatory solution within the framework of alternatives and evaluation criteria, provides highly effective results in multiple criteria decision-making problems. Neutrosophic numbers play an active role in facilitating the decision-making process in many studies. In this context, extension of the classical VIKOR method is introduced in detail in this study. The framework of the extended neutrosophic VIKOR method has been established. The proposed method has been applied to the renewable energy alternative selection problem in Turkey and compared with different methods and different scenarios. It has been shown that the proposed method gives more effective and accurate results. Furthermore, the sensitivity and accuracy of the study are enhanced by a sensitivity analysis. We have extended the classical VIKOR method for SVN numbers with a newly generalized score function and a distance measure. As a novel and newly presentation named “The 4D Plot” has been developed and applied in this paper to SVN numbers for presenting the effect of the new score function. The renewable energy alternative selection was made in Turkey with the proposed method by the opinions of the experts and the ranking of the alternatives was obtained. A sensitivity analysis has been made to show the accuracy and validity of the study. With the proposed distance measure and score function, it is shown that more accurate results can be found in multiple criteria decision-making problems. The model will provide solutions for many soft computing problems such as engineering and economy by finding more effective and accurate results in the neutrosophic number space according to the preference of decision makers. As a future work, the presented functions and framework can be adapted to different MCDM problems.

    Characterization and selection of alfalfa cultivars based on agronomic and quality characteristics information from continental climatic conditions of turkey

    Karakoy, Tolga; Nadeem, Muhammad Azhar; Ton, Aybegun; Celisiz, Yeter; Anlarsal, Adem Emin; Hatipoglu, Rustu

    Alfalfa is one of the most important crops mainly grown for forage and hay production in the world. Present study was aimed to investigate the green herbage and hay yield as well as some quality parameters such as acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), digestible dry matter (DDM), crude protein, dry matter contents, organic matter, crude oil and raw fiber of 9 different alfalfa cultivars. This study was conducted during two consecutive years (2015 and 2016) at two locations in Turkey (Sivas -Center and Sivas-Altinoluk). The mean values of ADF, NDF, DDM, crude protein (CP), green forage yield and dry forage yield were 43.73%, 52.69%, 50.70%,19.71%, 59163 kg ha- 1 and 13866 kg ha- 1 respectively. Dry forage yield reflected a positive and highly significant correlation with plant height, number of tillers and fresh forage yield. The varieties called Delta and Azzura performed very well for both locations during the whole period of study and also expressed a great level of winter resistance. Kayseri is a local cultivar in Turkey and it is revealed to be poor in terms of all the studied traits. According to the results of the study, it was concluded that the cultivars, Delta and Azzura, could be successfully grown in the continental climate regions of Turkey, and they could be also used in the breeding program of alfalfa to develop alfalfa varieties with high winter resistance and high yield and quality of forage.

    A novel similarity measure for single-valued neutrosophic sets and their applications in medical diagnosis, taxonomy, and clustering analysis

    Şahin, Ridvan; Karabacak, Mesut

    As a generation of Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy set, the single-valued neutrosophic set is an important modeling approach for expressing and processing the inconsistent and indeterminate information very well. Similarity measure is an important tool frequently used in a variety of areas, from clustering analysis to medical diagnosis. Although neutrosophic literature has many similarity measures, they have some disadvantages that do not provide the general conditions of the similarity measure for some specific values. In this chapter, we present a novel similarity measure to handle the relationship between two single-valued neutrosophic sets. It uses a matrix norm and a strictly increasing (or decreasing) binary function called fuzzy implication, and provides axiomatic definition properties of similarity measure. The advantage of using fuzzy implications is that it offers not only different final options to decision-makers but also gives a parameterized class of similarity measures of SVNSs. It is appeared that the developed similarity measure gives better results when compared to other existing similarity measures. Finally, several numerical examples related to pattern recognition, such as medical diagnosis and taxonomy approach, and clustering analysis are performed to demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed similarity measure.
