Kaya, Selim; Çeli̇k, Necati; Bayram, Tuncay
As well known, High Purity Germanium (HPGe) detectors have a wide range of applications in every area where radiation detection and measurements are involved. One of the most important parameters in this respect is the determination of the full energy peak (FEP) efficiency. There are certain parameters affecting the so-called FEP efficiency. Perhaps the most important one is the thickness of dead layers of the crystal itself. In the current study, we investigated the effects of the thickness of front, lateral and back dead layer thicknesses of the detector crystal on the FEP efficiencies for the energy range 30 keV–5 MeV using EGS4 Monte Carlo simulation package. It was shown that the change in the thickness of the front dead layer has significant effect on the efficiency values for the energy interval 30–400 keV. The change in the thickness of the lateral and back dead layer was shown to have significant effects on the efficiencies for the energy intervals 2–3 MeV and 3–5 MeV, respectively. The results were checked using GEANT4 and a good agreement was observed.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2022Scopus SJRQ2Innovative polygon trend analyses with star graph for rainfall and temperature data in agricultural regions of Turkey
Acar, Emine; Kankal, Murat; Akçay, Fatma; Şan, Murat
Agriculture is affected by climate change, such as extreme increases or decreases rainfall and temperature patterns. It is possible to research that effect by using trend analysis methodologies. This paper investigates trends of monthly total rainfall and mean temperature data of nine selected stations from agricultural regions of Turkey between 1969 and 2020. To the end, the classical Mann–Kendall, Innovative Trend Significance Test (ITST), and Innovative Polygon Trend Analysis (IPTA) with Star Graph methods providing the opportunity to examine seasonal behavior were used for trend analysis. The analysis reveals that about 96% of all monthly rainfall in the Mann-Kendall test has no trend. However, nearly all stations tend to decrease (increase) in November (September) in both innovative approaches. For temperature, it is seen that increasing trend or no trend dominated in general. There were increasing trends in the innovative approaches throughout the year except for April. Temperatures have increased significantly throughout the year in all regions over the last decades. With the help of IPTA, it was also concluded that the seasonal internal variability of rainfall over the entire time and in the last 30 years is quite complex and persists in all agricultural regions. The results show that irregular changes in rainfall and rising temperatures in all stations negatively affected crop yield and/or required more irrigation. In addition, according to the results obtained by comparing trend methods, innovative approaches are very insistent on determining of trend and provide additional information through a visual review of trend behaviors.

Topal, Meryem; Gulcin, İlhami
In this study, antidiabetic, anticholinergic, and antioxidant abilities of rosmarinic acid were evaluated and compared to standards. To determine its antioxidant activity different in vitro bioanalytical methods, including total antioxidant activity (TAA), ABTS•+ scavenging activity, O2•- scavenging activity, DPPH· scavenging activity, DMPD•+ scavenging activity, potassium ferric cyanide reduction ability, cupric ion (Cu2+) reduction capacity, H2O2 scavenging activity, and ferrous ions (Fe2+) binding activities were separately performed. Also, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), Trolox, α-tocopherol, and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) were used as the reference antioxidants. Rosmarinic acid inhibited the linoleic acid emulsion peroxidation by 89.2% while BHA, BHT, Trolox and α-tocopherol inhibited as 87.3, 97.6, 90.3 and 75.3%, respectively, at the same concentration (30 μg/mL). When these results are evaluated, rosmarinic acid had effective TAA than BHA and α-tocopherol and close to BHT and Trolox. In addition, rosmarinic acid exhibited Kİ values of 9.67 ± 0.81 nM towards acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and 33.56 ± 2.96 nM against α-glycosidase enzymes.

Top, Yener; Özbek, Adem
Enterprises are one of the main components of the economic system and they are indispensable for maintaining the sustainability of economic activities. The majority of these enterprises are small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Sustainability of SMEs depends on their good financial management. Inadequate financial literacy causes SMEs’ owners to make inaccurate financial decisions. The forest products sector is mostly composed of micro-scale enterprises in which financial problems are common. Therefore, this study aims to reveal the financial literacy status of the owners of micro-scale and wood-processing enterprises. For this purpose, 78 enterprises were selected as study population. Data were collected by applying a structured questionnaire to 43 of these companies by the face-to-face interview method. The structured questionnaire consisted of multiple-choice and open-ended questions and statements prepared on the Five Likert scales. Data were analysed by using the Independent-Sample T-Test, Mann-Whitney U-Test and correlation test. The reliability coefficient of the data was found to be 0.791. Of the enterprises, 58 % produced in the furniture sub-sector and 42 % in the wood products sub-sector. This study provides evidence that there was no statistically significant difference between the knowledge means of economics and financial behaviour of the furniture and wood products sectors. However, the enter-prise owners’ knowledge of financial analysis positively affected their financial literacy and financial behaviour.

Ozdes, Duygu; Tilki, Nida; Seker, Serdal; Duran, Celal
In the present research, brewed tea waste (BTW) was utilized as a green, low-priced, and abundant adsorbent for separation/preconcentration of Cd(II) ions through solid-phase extraction method from water and foods for the first time. BTW was applied as a natural adsorbent, without using any chelating agent to bind Cd(II) ions or any chemical reagent for its modification. A three-layer artificial neural network model using backpropagation algorithm was utilized to explicate a prediction model for the extraction performance of Cd(II) ions by selecting the input parameters as solution pH, quantity of BTW, sample volume, eluent concentration and volume, and equilibrium time for desorption. The preconcentration factor, relative standard deviation, and detection limit were attained as 100, 3.03%, and 0.56 µg L−1, respectively. It was decided that the Langmuir isotherm model is acceptable to characterize the retention of Cd(II) ions on BTW. This result pointed out that the active binding sites on the BTW surface are homogeneously distributed. Adsorption capacity of BTW was achieved as 41.5 mg g−1 which is higher than several expensive and difficult-to-prepare adsorbents. Adsorption kinetics was elucidated by pseudo-second order kinetic model. After confirmed the accuracy of the method with spike/recovery studies, it was employed for Cd(II) determination in water (stream and sea water) and food (eggplant, lettuce, parsley, apple, and apricot) samples with high accuracy. The inferences of the study proved that the BTW offers a magnificent application prospect in the extraction of Cd(II) ions.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate self-efficacy and health literacy of patients undergoing hemodialysis, to investigate the relationship between health literacy and self-efficacy, and to determine the factors affecting self-efficacy. Methods: The study was conducted in Eskisehir and Gumushane state hospitals affiliated to the Public Hospitals Association with the participation of 198 patients receiving hemodialysis treatment for chronic renal failure. The inclusion criteria were as follows: being ⩾18 years old, receiving hemodialysis, and agreeing to participate in the study. The study data were collected using face-to-face interview technique, and they were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis. Results: The mean age of the patients was 59.73 ± 16.32 years. Of the patients, 46% were primary school graduates, and 63.6% reported having other chronic diseases. The mean health literacy and self-efficacy scores were found to be 79.43 ± 26.09 and 23.98 ± 7.42, respectively. The results showed that the self-efficacy scores of the patients increased as the general health literacy scores increased, with a strong linear correlation between these variables (r = 0.712; p ˂ 0.001). Patients with advanced age, low educational level, and widowed patients had lower self-efficacy and health literacy scores than others (respectively eta2 = 0.263, 0.116, 0.268, 0.141). Conclusion: High score of health literacy positively affects the self-efficacy score of hemodialysis patients.

Consumers' demand for healthy foods has been increased. The aim of this study was to develop a functional cookie from wheat flour with flaxseed (FS) and Cornelian cherry (CC). The effects of the levels of FS flour (10–30 g for 100 g composite flour) and CC powder (2–10 g for 100 g composite flour) in the cookie formulation on the cookie properties were investigated by using response surface methodology. The lightness of the cookies was decreased with the addition of the FS and CC. The incorporation of the FS into the formulation enhanced the content of omega-3 fatty acids. Both FS and CC enhanced the total phenolic contents (TPCs) and antioxidant capacity of the cookies. Moreover, they did not have effects on the hardness and overall acceptability. The developed cookie contained FS (23.6 g 100 g−1) and CC (10 g 100 g−1) that provided α-linolenic acid (16.5 g 100 g−1), TPC (340.2 mg GAE 100 g−1), and antioxidant capacity (996.6 μmol TEAC 100 g−1). Our study indicated that the combination of wheat flour with FS with CC can have the potential to enhance the nutritional and functional values of the cookies. Novelty impact statement: The combination of wheat flour with flaxseed and Cornelian cherry in the cookie formulation enhanced the contents of omega-3 fatty acids, total phenolic content, and antioxidant capacity of the cookies. The developed cookie may be an alternative product for consumers who look for healthy bakery products.

Erol, Ismail; Peker, Iskender; Turan, İsmet; Benli, Tolga
Since solar panels and wind turbines have limited lifespans, solar photovoltaic energy supply chain (SPvESC) and wind energy supply chain (WESC) in Turkey needs a paradigm shift to improve the efficiency and recyclability of solar panel and wind turbine components. The circular economy (CE) is a viable strategy for reducing the negative effects of linear supply chains in the SPvESC and WESC. However, despite the several drivers of implementing CE in the SPvESC and WESC, there are also barriers to CE initiatives. It is argued that further studies are needed to explore the drivers and challenges for CE adoption in different industries of developing and developed countries. Hence, the goal of this research is to explore the driving and restraining forces for CE adoption in Turkey's SPvESC and WESC through a decision framework that includes Neutrosphopic DELPHI-based Force Field Analysis, Neutrosphopic-DEMATEL, and Nominal Group Technique. The findings of this research suggested that because the total score of restraining forces is higher than that of driving forces in force field analysis, it is critical to investigate the relationships among the restraining forces. Our findings also suggested that nonexistence of effective incentives and regulations proved to be the most prominent restraining force.

Maden, Nafiz; Elmas, Ali
The origin and development of the Black Sea Basin (BSB) remain controversial. In this study, we determined the main tectonic features of the BSB using satellite gravity, heat flow, and seismological data. Positive gravity anomalies are observed in the arc region due to high-density material, while negative gravity anomalies are seen in the trench region owing to the mass deficiency and sediments. The trench region has a relatively low heat flow anomalies along the Black Sea coasts. The Moho depth increases from 18.11 km in the Eastern Black Sea Basin (EBSB) to 51.83 km in the Eastern Anatolia Plateau (EAP) with an average of 34.13 ± 6.15 km. The lithosphere thickness changed between 78.48 km beneath Anatolia and 120.57 km below the EBSB with an average of 99.17 ± 8.17 km. The low heat flow and Moho temperature values indicate that the lithosphere is strong and cold beneath the BSB. The numerical results, therefore, provide evidence for southward subduction of the Tethys oceanic lithosphere below the Anatolian plate during the late Mesozoic-Cenozoic. Considering all geophysical and geological data, we conclude that the Black Sea Basin represents a relict basin, rather than a back-arc basin.

We aim to investigate the effect of Single Market Programme on the spatial interaction of labour income share amongst the EU countries. Spatial panel data analysis is used for the aim of the study. The dataset is obtained from AMECO and WDI databases and covers the time period of 1960–2017. The results show that sign of spatial interaction between these countries in term of the labour income share has turned from positive to negative after the Single Market Programme. In other words, the Single Market Programme has induced to decrease the labour income share by negatively affecting the spatial interaction between these countries. In addition, we find that although the negative impacts of capital-output ratio and trade openness on the labour income share decrease, the negative impact of total factor productivity increases after the Single Market Programme. The results of robustness check also confirm our empirical findings.

Yildirim, Ercan; AR, Ilker Murat; Dabić, Marina; Baki, Birdogan; Peker, Iskender
This study seeks to form an end-to-end analysis of Open Innovation stages, developing a three-part consecutive multi-stage decision making model for a suitable innovation structure by linking the processes used to determine the innovation type (open, closed), the OI type (inbound, outbound, coupled), and the collaboration type (science-based, market-based). The decision-making criteria for the OI stage are determined by academic literature and finalized by Delphi technique. The criteria for relationships are determined through expert evaluation. The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process is applied in order to determine the weights and rankings. The most important criterion to consider when choosing the innovation type is open innovation awareness. For the OI type, the most important criterion is knowledge acquisition and, for collaboration, it is network building. This approach allows us to predict the potential risks or costs of the OI process and the possibility of decision errors can thus be reduced.

In order to determine the effect of working conditions on the lubricated wear behavior of Zn-40Al-2Cu-2Si alloy in the as-cast and T6 heat-treated states, its tribological properties were studied at different oil flowrates, contact pressures, and sliding speeds in comparison with SAE 660 bronze. It was observed that the friction coefficient, temperature, and wear volume of both materials decrease, but their average surface roughness increase with increasing oil flowrate. As the pressure increased, the friction coefficient and average surface roughness of the experimental materials decreased, but their temperature and wear volume increased. It was also found that the working temperature of these materials increased, but their wear volume showed a decrement and a subsequent increment with increasing sliding speed. In addition, their wear volume and average surface roughness showed opposite changes with the sliding speed. Zn-40Al-2Cu-2Si alloy in both as-cast and heat-treated conditions showed lower wear volume and friction coefficient than SAE 660 bronze. This indicates that Zn-40Al-2Cu-2Si alloy can be used to manufacture diesel engine crankshaft journal bearings.

The spread of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative (MDR) bacteria is a global public health problem, as infections caused by MDR Gram-negative bacteria are difficult to treat. New antibiotic agents need to be developed to overcome this problem, and phytochemicals show promise at this point. In this study, methanol extracts were prepared from cinnamon, thyme, nettle, white tea, rosehip, and antibacterial activity of the methanol extracts was studied against two MDR Gram-Negative bacteria (K. pneumoniae and A. baumannii) by broth microdilution method. The MICs of methanol extracts of cinnamon, rosehip, thyme, white tea for A. baumannii were found as 0.015125 g/ml, 0.07825 g/ml, 0.030625 g/ml, 0.00796875 g/ml, respectively. It was found that only cinnamon methanol extract had antibacterial activity in the used extract concentrations against K. pneumoniae and the MIC value was 0.0605 g/ml. The effects of plant methanol extract with antibacterial activity and imipenem combinations were studied in vitro using the checkerboard method. The FIC Indexes were obtained from the checkerboard results and it was observed that the combination of methanol extract and imipenem showed an antagonistic or additive/indifferent effect but not a synergistic effect. We evaluated the binding affinity of epigallocatechin 3-gallate, quercetin, cinnamaldehyde, carvacrol, and thymol phytocompounds using in silico methods, which are well known as a phytocompounds in white tea, cinnamon, thyme, nettle, and rosehip and have antibacterial activities. The results suggested that these phytocompounds should be supported with in vivo and in vitro experiments to investigate their potential for being inhibitor candidates.

Bingöl, Özhan; Güzey, Hacı Mehmet
Due to the quadrotor’s underactuated nature, suspended payload dynamics, parametric uncertainties, and external disturbances, designing a controller for tracking the desired trajectories for a quadrotor that carries a suspended payload is a challenging task. Furthermore, one of the most significant disadvantages of designing a controller for nonlinear systems is the infinite-time convergence to the desired trajectory. In this paper, a finite-time neuro-sliding mode controller (FTNSMC) for a quadrotor with a suspended payload that is subject to parametric uncertainties and external disturbances is designed. By constructing a finite-time sliding mode controller, the quadrotor can follow the reference trajectories in finite time. Furthermore, despite time-varying nonlinear dynamics, parametric uncertainties, and external disturbances, a neural network structure is added to the controller to effectively reduce chattering phenomena caused by high switching gains, and significantly reduce the size of the control signals. Following the completion of the controller design, the system’s stability is demonstrated using the Lyapunov stability criterion. Extensive numerical simulations with various scenarios are run to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Akçay, Fatma; Kankal, Murat; Şan, Murat
The issue of detection of hydrometeorological trends remains relevant because of the importance of climate change in design, operation, and management studies related to water resources. This study examines the effects of changes in climate and land use on monthly flows (1962–2018) in the Eastern Black Sea basin, Turkey, using innovative trend analysis methods. In this context, innovative polygon trend analysis (IPTA) and innovative trend significance test (ITST) were used to detect the trends and compared with Mann-Kendall test. Only stations with homogeneous data that did not experience non-climatic changes are used in the analysis. IPTA and ITST approaches are much more sensitive than Mann-Kendall in detecting trends. Although the innovative methods are mostly compatible with each other (90%), IPTA presents additional information about trend transitions between successive parts of time series. Results indicate significant decreasing trends in summer months, likely due to diminishing precipitation and effective evaporation.
