    Coordinates of the East and West in Mim Kara’s Doğuya Hüzün Turları (Sorrow Tours to the East)

    Doğan, Çağlayan; Hakkıoğlu, Mümin

    This study aims to determine the borders of the east and west through arguments in Mim Kara’s Doğuya Hüzün Turları (Sorrow Tours to the East), a volume woven with prose poems. It will scrutinise the poet’s thoughts regarding the identity of the easterner and westerner through the said borders. When contemporary Turkish poetry and orientalist studies are taken into consideration, it is seen that the thoughts in Mim Kara’s Doğuya Hüzün Turları do not draw a distinction on places contrary to the general east-west tendency which is created with imperialist purposes. Mim Kara states that the places that are located east and west are not just determined by their coordinates. In the book, the general tendency is to escape, and this escape is from rationality and quantifiable knowledge towards innocence. When this escape is considered as a journey, not the coordinates but sorrow is the loadstar. In line with this, Kara’s multidimentional, innovative and profound narratives that are put forth in his book motivate us to write. Moreover, the east-west distinction that is presented differently from the premises in his book, is the focal point of the study. In this article, first the general orientalist arguments are studied, then, the profound investigation in terms of the perception of east-west, pure and rational reason is determined as a method of this study. In the conclusion, the

    Entropy generation of nanofluid flow in a microchannel heat sink

    Manay, Eyuphan; Akyürek, Eda Feyza; Sahin, Bayram

    Present study aims to investigate the effects of the presence of nano sized TiO2 particles in the base fluid on entropy generation rate in a microchannel heat sink. Pure water was chosen as base fluid, and TiO2 particles were suspended into the pure water in five different particle volume fractions of 0.25%, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5% and 2.0%. Under laminar, steady state flow and constant heat flux boundary conditions, thermal, frictional, total entropy generation rates and entropy generation number ratios of nanofluids were experimentally analyzed in microchannel flow for different channel heights of 200 mm, 300 mm, 400 mm and 500 mm. It was observed that frictional and total entropy generation rates increased as thermal entropy generation rate were decreasing with an increase in particle volume fraction. In microchannel flows, thermal entropy generation could be neglected due to its too low rate smaller than 1.10e-07 in total entropy generation. Higher channel heights caused higher thermal entropy generation rates, and increasing channel height yielded an increase from 30% to 52% in thermal entropy generation. When channel height decreased, an increase of 66%-98% in frictional entropy generation was obtained. Adding TiO2 nanoparticles into the base fluid caused thermal entropy generation to decrease about 1.8%-32.4%, frictional entropy generation to increase about 3.3%-21.6%. (C) 2018 The Authors.

    Automatic extraction of building boundaries from high resolution images with active contour segmentation

    Akbulut, Z.; Özdemir, S.; Acar, H.; Dihkan, M.; Karsli, F.

    Building extraction from remotely sensed images plays an important role in many applications such as updating geographical information system, change detection, urban planning, disaster management and 3D building modeling. Automatic extraction of buildings from aerial images is not an easy task because of background complexity, lighting conditions and vegetation cover that reduces separability or visibility of buildings. As a result, automatic building extraction can be a complex process for computer vision and image processing techniques. In order to overcome this difficulty region-based active contour model was used to automatically detect the boundary of buildings for this study. To extract object boundaries, the model grows or shrinks the initial contour in the image. The main objective of this paper is making active contours algorithm perform without user interaction and to detect automatically initial contours to segment buildings with a software coded in Matlab. This task carried out by morphological operations, band ratio and thresholding methods. In this study, high resolution aerial images with 8 cm ground sampling distance (GSD) were used. Three separate test zones were selected with varying building level of detail on these images. Finally, it was assessed the accuracy of segmented buildings using Correctness, Completeness and Quality metrics by comparing the results images and manually digitized reference image. The proposed approach for building extraction from images was shown to be 98% accurate on buildings with simple geometry and homogeneous roof textures. However accuracy of extracted buildings with heterogeneous roof textures and lighting, and complex geometry is 89%. The results clearly show that automatically calculated initial contour positions work in accordance with the active contour algorithm and easily extraction of the buildings boundaries.

    The Impact of Image on Corporate Reputation: The Case Of Giresun Municipality

    Güllüpunar, Hasan; Tekmen, Tuba

    The perception of a corporation by its environment is based on the presented conducts, produced service or product, and established communication with the target group in this process. This is the result of active communication between the source and the recipient. At the same time, there are marks of the past and the future in this perception. Both the total perception that has developed based on the interaction between the corporation and target groups for different reasons in the past, and the emotion that this interaction creates in relation to the future affect the outlook on the corporate outputs. Therefore, two types of perception can be defined by the environment of an institution. The first is a perception that is defined by the active communication process based on corporate behaviour, product, or service. The second is a perception that is an important factor in the background of the first perception and at the same time it is related to the past and the future which is affected from the first perception. These are defined in the literature as image and reputation. This study inquires into the effect of the citizens' impressions provided by the municipalities in terms of the president, staff or services on the general perception of the municipalities. In this context, a survey was conducted in Giresun city centre regarding Giresun Municipality. In the research, image factors related to municipality services and the power of representatives of Giresun Municipality based on the president and the staff were determined and then the effect of these factors on Giresun Municipality's general perception was examined. In the study, it was concluded that the image factors are important explanations of the general perception of the municipality and the biggest 'factor on the general perception is the mayor 'factor.

    AN ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF INSTITUTIONAL STRUCTURE ON TOURISM IN THE MEDITERRANEAN COUNTRIES

    Artan, Seyfettin; Hayaloglu, Pinar; Demirel, Selim Koray

    Institutional economics literature suggests that inclusive institutions encourage economic growth by increasing efficiency in many sectors of the economy. Institutional structure also has effects on the tourism sector due to the confidential environment and incentives it brings. In this context, when studies on determinants of tourism are examined, it is remarkable that there are a number of studies on economic and social factors, but that there are limited studies about institutional determinants of tourism. This study investigates the causal relationships between institutional factors and tourism sector in nine Mediterranean coastal countries also including Turkey for the period of 1995-2015 by using Konya (2006) panel causality analysis. The results of the study using variables of corruption and democratic accountability as indicative of institutional structure reveal causal relations between tourism expenditures and institutional factors.

    The Effects of Wood Preservatives on the Combustion Characteristics of Sessile Oak (Quercus Petreae L.)

    Yasar, Sekip Sadiye; Atar, Musa

    This study carried out to determine the combustion properties of the sessile oak wood (Quercus petraea L.) which impregnated with wood preservative and subjected to surface treatments. For this purpose, the samples, which were prepared from sessile oak wood according to ASTM-E 160-50 combustion principles, impregnated with wolmanit-CB (WC) and tanalith-E (T) in accordance with ASTM-D 1413-76 and then synthetic (St) and Water-based (wb) varnishes were applied according to ASTM-D 3023. The combustion test was carried out in 3 stages, combustion with flame (CWF), self-combustion without flame source (CWOF) and ember combustion stage (ECP). It was aimed to determine the combustion temperature values in CWF, CWOF and ECP stage, weight loss, total combustion time and demolition time. As a result, impregnation applications have increased the total combustion time to between 15-18% and reduced the demolition period. The exact opposite results were obtained for the varnish types, the total combustion time was reduced by 19-21% and the demolition time increased by 10-22%. In CWF stage, the highest temperature was obtained in water-based varnished samples (490 degrees C), the lowest in non-varnished samples (458 degrees C); in CWOF stage the highest temperature in water-based varnished samples (572 degrees C), the lowest in synthetic varnished samples (544 degrees C); and in ECP stage the highest temperature in non-varnished samples (306.5 degrees C), the lowest in the samples with the synthetic varnished (262.7 degrees C).

    Detection of foot bone anomaly using medical photogrammetry

    Reis, Catal H.

    Photogrammetry has been used for medical diagnostic and treatment. Mostly used medical photogrammetric techniques are Ultrasound, Computed Tomography (CT) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. CT and MRI are the most effective method for the early detection of foot and ankle anomaly. Researchers have been developing various methods to detect anomaly. Many image segmentation techniques are available in the literature. Computer Aided Diagnosing (CAD) system has been proposed in this study for detection of foot bone anomaly by the analysis of CT images. In this study, a segmentation based on edge detection method is proposed for the classification of anomaly in foot CT images. Edge detection algorithms are the most commonly used techniques in image processing for edge detection. Canny edge detector is evaluated in this study. In this study, .dicom medical image standard format and ten male patient's foot CT images (245 images and 50 test data) are used. The used parameters are detector collimation of 64 mm, scanning thickness of 1-5 mm, and pixel sizes of 512x512 in radiometric resolution of 16 bits' gray levels. The proposed method consists of five major steps: (i) calculating the horizontal & vertical gradient, (ii) determining gradient magnitude and gradient direction, (iii) applying non-maximal suppression, (iv) computing high and low thresholds, (v) hysteresis thresholding are applied to the multi-detector computed tomography to detect the bone anomaly. In this study, automatic edge-based digital image processing techniques are applied to detect of foot bone anomaly. The proposed canny segmentation method enables users segment anomaly in MDCT of foot very quickly and efficiently. The results demonstrate that the proposed segmentation method is effective for segmenting anomaly. The proposed method obtains satisfactory performances in terms of accuracy and F-measure the area under Receiver Operating Characteristic curve (ROC curve (AUC)). The proposed segmentation method achieves an accuracy of 0.86 and F-measure of 0.92, respectively. The purpose of our study is to detect the anomaly of the foot and it was the simplest and less time consuming process.

    EMPIRICAL RELATIONS AMONG THE PARAMETERS ASSOCIATED WITH EARTHQUAKE RUPTURE MECHANISMS FOR IRANIAN EARTHQUAKES

    Öztürk, Serkan; Ghassemi, Mohammad Reza; Sari, Mahmut

    In this study, we aimed to derive the new and more reliable empirical relationships among different seismic parameters associated with the earthquake rupture mechanisms for Iranian earthquakes. For this purpose, we firstly converted the surface wave magnitudes into moment magnitudes in order to prepare a uniform earthquake dataset. Thereafter, we estimated the empirical relationships between moment magnitude and surface rupture length, moment magnitude and maximum displacement, and surface rupture length and maximum displacement. These linear empirical equations were obtained by orthogonal regression and the goodness of fits were discussed in terms of the correlation coefficients. The results obtained by the orthogonal regression in this paper are compared with the results obtained by the least square method in the literature. The present study confirms that representations of statistical correlations among different earthquake faulting parameters can be given more clear and straightforward by the orthogonal regression as compared to the least square method. In addition, such kind of relationships may provide some significant insights for the calculation of the maximum surface rupture length, maximum surface displacement, and associated maximum credible earthquakes for different seismotectonic regions of Iran as well as the estimation of earthquake magnitudes in paleoseismological studies.

    Investigation Of Mechanical And Physical Properties of Concrete Produced to Lead-Zinc Mining Waste Rocks

    Çullu, Mustafa

    The purpose of this study is to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of concrete produced from lead-zinc mine waste (tallow) products. In this context, the physical chemical, mineralogical and petrography characteristics of rocks obtained from zinc-lead mine were analyzed first. Concrete strength classes of C16/20, C25/30 and C35/45 5 replaced with 25%, 50% and 75% rates of limestone were prepared with lead mine waste. The physical and mechanical properties of the prepared concrete samples were determined. As a result, when lead-zinc mine waste is used as concrete aggregate, while the porosity and the water absorption of prepared samples were decreased, the physical density were increased as compared to limestone. As the result of the positive effect of physical properties, compressive and tensile strength were increased.

    Suffixes -(I)p /-(U)p and Their Functions in Turkmen Turkish

    Gökçür, Uyesi Engin

    Suffixes -(I)p and -(U)p have been used as verbal adverb suffixes during the historical development of Turkish language. When these suffixes are added, verbs modify the central meaning in terms of 'situation, time and style.' Therefore, they are used instead of the verbal adverb suffix (- arak), not used in Turkmen Turkish, that is used to refer to situation and style. These suffixes mostly form verbal adverbs stating situation and style with their function mentioned above in Turkmen Turkish. Besides, when they are added to verbs, they form descriptive verbs by attaching verbs to auxiliary verbs. In this case, it has been seen that they take role in the formation of descriptive verbs that refer to sufficiency, quickness, duration, process, ending and starting. As these suffixes have the function of attaching completed conclusions to another conclusion, they have lost their verbal adverb function in time in Azerbaijani Turkish as in Turkmen Turkish and have been used as past perfect tense. These suffixes are used especially in second-person singular and plural in past perfect form in Turkmen Turkish. They are used in the form of past perfect tense when followed by the (- dir) affix.

    Earthquake Performance of Reinforced-Concrete Shear-Wall Structure Using Nonlinear Methods

    Çavdar, Ozlem; Çavdar, Ahmet; Bayraktar, Ender

    In earthquake engineering, the performance-based design method is used to determine the expected performance level of structures under an earthquake effect. The level of performance is related to the damage situation that could occur in the structure after the earthquake. In performance-based structural design, it is predicted that more than one damage level can emerge under one earthquake effect. In this study, the seismic behavior of a reinforced-concrete shear-wall building that collapsed during the 2003 Bingol earthquake was investigated by nonlinear static analysis and nonlinear dynamic analysis. The selected reinforced-concrete shear-wall structure is located in Bingol, Turkey. Local code was considered for assessing a seismic performance evaluation of the selected reinforced-concrete shear-wall building. The performance goals of the reinforced-concrete shear-wall structure were evaluated by applying the pushover (incremental equivalent earthquake load) method and procedures of the code and nonlinear dynamic analysis. According to the code, the reinforced-concrete shear-wall building was not expected to satisfy life safety performance levels under a design earthquake. In this study, one collapsed building was selected in order to test the reliability and usability of performance analysis methods under different earthquakes.

    USAK SUGAR FACTORY AS A SUCCESS OF PRIVATE ENTREPRENEURSHIP

    Damlibag, Fatih

    Nuri Seker founded Usak Sugar Factory in 1926. He targeted to produce Turkish sugar from beet. Thus, he wanted to easily ensure this need of Turkish people. He also planned to provide a regular source of income to poor peasants. He established a company and began to collect capital for the factory. Czechoslovak Skoda firm provide technology to the factory. After inauguration, Usak Sugar Factory met water supply and agricultural pest problem. Nuri Seker also had to teach newly sugar beet cultivation to peasants. In contrary to all difficulties, factory started its operations and sugar production was steadily increased. But Nuri Seker faced with financial difficulties, because experience years in sugar production increased factory's debts. As a result of these debts, government decided to liquidate the factory's company. Nationalization was practiced on 6 August 1931. During the liquidation process, rights of public partners became main argument point. Later, government decided to pay face values of public partners' shares. Eventually, links of private entrepreneurs were totally severed from Usak Sugar Factory.

    Bayrakdaroglu, Serdar; Can, Ibrahim

    Background & Study Aim: Among martial arts boxing and kickboxing are the most popular combat sports. The purpose of this study was knowledge about anaerobic power, lower-body strength characteristic and some kinetic and kinematics during loaded squat jump movement in Turkish national boxers and kickboxers. Material & Methods: Seven boxers (age: 25.5 +/- 2.57 years; boy: 174.2 +/- 4.38 cm; weight: 69.5 +/- 5.53 kg) and 6 kickboxers (age: 24.3 +/- 4.03 years; height: 176.1 +/- 9.45 cm; weight: 70.5 +/- 10.25 kg) who had ranks in competitions at Europe and World Championships. Totally 13 athletes (age: 25.0 +/- 3.24 years; height: 175.1 +/- 6.91 cm; weight: 70.0 +/- 7.70 kg), participated voluntarily in this study. Was applied and maximal anaerobic power, maximal anaerobic capacity, minimum anaerobic power and fatigue index values as both absolute and relative was obtained. One repetition maximal (1RM) values in full back squat (SQfull) movement was defined. Loaded-squat jump (SJLoaded) movement was applied by using an external load that corresponds to 40% of body weights of the participants by utilizing an isoinertial velocity transducer (T-Force dynamic measurement system) and values of mean propulsive velocity (MPV), peak velocity (PV), mean propulsive power (MPP) and peak power (PP) were obtained. Results: There are no statistically significant differences between velocity and power values during SJLoaded movement with 1RM and anaerobic power values of Turkish national boxers and kickboxers (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result, the reason that there are no significant differences between both groups; it can be suggested that both groups consist of high-level athletes who participated in Europe and Word championships and their training systems and methods are similar to each other.

    Old Concepts, New Contents: The City, Cinema and the Stranger

    Demir, Sertac Timur

    This study is a cinematic portrait not of the real, but essentially of the updated Istanbul. In the case of the strangers of cinematic Istanbul, the most strategic, useful, as well as the most difficult step for updating the city's image is to shift the axis from its centres, touristic places, familiar characters, common values and usual events to its corners, secondary places and characters, minimalist conditions, ambivalent values and current changes. For this purpose this study analyzes five films as sociological testimonies without touching upon their details but by focusing on their references: Politiki Kouzina/Bir Tutam Baharat/A Touch of Spice (Tassos Boulmetis, 2003), Koprudekiler/Men on the Bridge (Asli Ozge, 2009), Kac Para Kac/A Run for Money (Reha Erdem, 1999), Uzak/Distant (Nuri Bilge Ceylan, 2002), and 11'e 10 Kala/10 to 11 (Pelin Esmer, 2009). These films, which constitute the framework of this research, are breaking points of modern Istanbul's social and urban history and of changing form of strangers.

    Comparing Physics Textbooks in Terms of Assessment and Evaluation Tools

    Takaoglu, Zeynep Baskan

    Assessment and evaluation instruments provide teachers the opportunity of shaping education in the beginning, contributing to education during the process and evaluating education at the end of the process. Textbooks, on the other hand, are resources that present the aforementioned contributions to teachers at first hand. Thus, the study aims to compare the distribution of assessment and evaluation instruments in the physics textbooks being used in the academic year of 2011-2012 and 2016-2017 according to units, settlement within units and types of assessment instruments that are used. For that purpose, 9, 10, 11 and 12th grade textbooks being used in physics lessons in the academic year of 2011-2012 and 2016-2017 were examined via document analysis method. As a result of the study, it was determined that the highest number of assessment instruments in physics textbooks from two different years was encountered in the unit of force and motion. The reason for this unit having higher number of questions could be associated with higher number of mathematical operations in the unit intended for allowing students to overcome their mathematical deficiencies by practicing such questions. It was observed that the number of questions was increased especially in the books being used in the academic year of 2016-2017 and alternative assessment instruments were fewer than traditional assessment instruments. Traditional assessment instruments are still used very frequently in the textbooks, which proves the effect of traditional approaches in assessment and evaluation. Another reason for this condition is that a result-oriented evaluation is used in the university entrance exam. In the light of these results, it is suggested to make the university exam student-centered rather than making an arrangement in textbooks.

    An Analysis of Relationship between Military Expenditure and Economic Growth in Turkey (1960-2016)

    Topal, Mehmet Hanefi

    A growth number of empirical studies have investigated the relationship between military expenditures and economic growth in Turkey. However, there is no consensus on the relationship between military expenditures and economic growth in literature. The aim of this study is re-examining the relationship between military expenditures and economic growth covering the period of 1960 and 2016 within the context of cointegration and causality analysis. In addition to traditional analysis, we employed cointegration test with multi structural breaks and time-varying causality analysis. According toBayer and Hanck's (2013) standart cointegration test results the military expenditures negatively affect long-run GDP per capita. However, Maki's (2012) cointegration test with multiple breaks results show that there is no relationship between military expenditures and GDP per capita. On the other hand, time-varying causality results also indicate that the causal linkage between military expenditures and economic growth has disappeared due to economic and politic shifts in Turkey after the middle of 1970s.

    Do We Need Friendship in the Workplace? The Theory of Workplace Friendship and Employee Outcomes: The Role of Work Ethics

    Ozbek, Mehmet Ferhat

    This study builds and tests the models that two types of workplace friendships (friendship with coworkers and friendship with the supervisor) may have a negative influence on employees'job insecurity and turnover intention. Further, this study assumes that the positive association between workplace friendship with a supervisor and job performance is stronger for employees having a low work ethic than for those with a high work ethic. This study also assumes that the negative relationship between friendship with a supervisor and organizational deviance is stronger for employees who have a low work ethic but not for those with a high work ethic. To test these hypotheses, 313 data samples have been collected from service sector employees. According to the results, two types of workplace friendships (friendship with coworkers and friendship with a supervisor) are negatively related to job insecurity and turnover intention. The results also show that friendship with a supervisor was positively associated with job performance for employees having a low work ethic but not for those with a high work ethic. Furthermore, the results show that friendship with a supervisor was negatively associated with organizational deviance for employees having a low work ethic but not for those with a high work ethic. Surprisingly, the friendship with a supervisor is positively associated with organizational deviance for employees having a high work ethic.

    The Problem of Positioning Erasmus in the context of His Thoughts about War and Peace

    Yesilçayir, Celal

    Desiderius Erasmus who is known as a prominent philosopher of renaissance period has been mentioned as a humanist or pacifist in many sources. Nevertheless, it seemed that he articulated some different thoughts beyond the ideas attributed to him. About the point in question, this work aims to discuss how to position Erasmus in ideological terms through analyzing his ideas he revealed in his works about war and peace. Within this context, it will be examined to what extent the ascription of humanist and pacifist frequently to him is coherent. Consequently, it will be tried to suggest a proposal about how we should describe him depending on the findings.
