- MakaleAçık Erişim2020Modern Man in Techno-Scientific Progressivism and Nostalgic-Developmentalism Dilemma
Demir, Sertac Timur
This article interrogates the human crisis of the modern age with a comparative and synthesist approach. Indeed, in the hands of techno-scientific progressivism that has been accelerated since the industrial revolution and the nostalgic-developmentalism that is provoked by the progressivism, the central issue in crisis is not humanity; but man himself. Moreover, this crisis, which encircles daily life entirely, is not merely epistemological, also ontological. Perhaps the most valid question of the day for the modern individual who is torn between techno-scientific progressivism that glorifies speed, technique, method, invention and externality, and the doctrines of nostalgicaldevelopmentalism that prioritise the past, memory, mystical orientation and internality, is perhaps to remain human. While Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968), one of the two philosophical films subject to analysis in the article, refers to such a progressivism; and Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris (1972) visualises developmentalism. Beyond a science-fiction analysis, this study, which approaches both positions critically, aims to focus on the crucial questions that become evident in the films with the answers of significant thinkers such as Paul Chesterton, Gaston Bachelard, Gunther Anders, Ivan Illich, Lewis Mumford, Zygmunt Bauman and Y. Noah Harari. Besides, as a proposition, it can be stated that today sci-fi movies -even the most extraordinary ones- have ironically turned into one of the most authentic projectors in making sense of the fantastic world we live in.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2020Criticism of Kant's Conception of Freedom in Adorno
Tüzen, Muhammed Ahmet
Adorno, who has critical thoughts on the positivist perspective that is the core of the philosophy of Enlightenment and the mental comprehension to which positivism depends, states that Kant's notion of freedom, which puts strictly adhesion to the law in the center, is an abstract, disconnected from experience, compelling/oppressive nature. Accordingly, Kant, who activates the mind against the blind power of nature, explains the free action as to act according to the pure mind. In Kant, which approaches moral laws as freedom laws, freedom is considered as the law that both is to use of the mind in an absolute manner and must be obeyed and treated accordingly. In this context, Adorno implies that Kant's moral philosophy is structured in such a way as not to allow it to act otherwise, although it does not have authoritarian thoughts. This study which is based on Adorno's thoughts aims to evaluate Kant's understanding of freedom in four parts within the above-mentioned framework: (i) Freedom as a balancing force against the causality of nature, (ii) freedom disconnected from experience and spiritualized, (iii) freedom to express action by centering the law, (iv) freedom intertwined with bourgeois work ethic.

Seferoglu, Aysegul Gunes; Seferoglu, Mehmet Tevfik; Akpinar, Muhammet Vefa; Çelik, Muhammet
Recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) materials are an alternative to natural aggregate (NA) because they reduce environmental pollution and provide energy and cost savings. In many countries abroad, the usage of RAP materials in road pavement layers are permissible at certain rates. However, the mechanical properties of RAP materials are dependent on; the materials are derived from the in which pavement layer, the service life and construction characteristics of the road it is milled, the properties of the materials used (bitumen and aggregate) in the layer and the characteristics of the milling machine. In this study, two types of RAP materials (RAP(1) and RAP(2)) obtained from the degraded wearing layers of two different roadway using milling machine were mixed with NA in different rates (0%, 15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, 100%). Some of the characteristics of the mixtures were examined with reference to 100% NA mixture values by performing laboratory tests such as bitumen ratio, sieve analysis, modified proctor and California bearing ratio (CBR) on the mixtures obtained. According to the results, maximum rates of RAP(1) and RAP(2) which can be used in plant-mix base type-1 layer as an alternative material to NA is determined according to Turkey Highway Technical Specification. In addition, in the case of using RAP materials, the profit rates of material costs to be reduced by the reduction of the need for NA material are also determined by cost analysis.

Gül, Zeynep; Tang, Mustafa; Yolcu, Halil
The effects of applications of zeolite, nitrogen and zeolite + nitrogen on yield, quality and some morphological traits of silage corn was researched at the Research Station of the Agriculture Faculty, University of Ataturk, Eastern Turkey, during 2012 and 2013. Treatments included a control, three zeolite (Z(1): 500, Z(2): 1000, Z(3): 1500 kg ha(-1)), three nitrogen (N-1: 50, N-2: 100, N-3: 150 kg ha(-1)) and nine combinations of zeolite + nitrogen. The experimental design was randomized complete blocks with three replications. The application of zeolite + nitrogen application enhanced silage yield by 5.8-18.9%, dry matter yield by 4.5-21.4%, corncob rate by 6.6%, plant height by 3.0-16.1% and leaf rate by 17.5%. Further, the application of zeolite + medium or low nitrogen application produced similar silage yield, dry matter yield, dry matter rate, crude protein content, ADF, NDF, corncob rate, stem rate, plant height and leaf rate in comparison to the highest level nitrogen application. The results indicate that the application of zeolite + nitrogen can be used to increase efficiency of nitrogen and to decrease nitrogen requirements in silage corn for yield and other parameters.

Kahya, Volkan; Araz, Onur
In this study, a simple method is proposed to obtain the optimum design parameters of vibration absorbers consisting of several tuned mass damper units connected each other in parallel. The method is essentially the extension of the formulas proposed by Den Hartog for single degree-of-freedom tuned mass dampers to multiple tuned mass dampers. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, an application to high-speed rail bridges are made. The bridge is modeled as a simple Euler-Bernoulli beam, and the train is modeled as a series of moving loads. The equations of motion are solved numerically by the Newmark method. The results of the study showed that multiple tuned mass dampers designed by the proposed method show good performance in reducing the resonance vibrations in high-speed rail bridges.
