İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2023The Relationship between Urbanization, Energy Consumption and Carbon Dioxide Emissions: Panel Ardl Analysis for Newly Industrialized Countries
Akyol, Mehmet
An increase in the world population, technological advancement, and economic concerns bring along an increase in urbanization and energy consumption. Increasing urbanization speed and energy consumption cause environmental problems. The main hypothesis of this study is based on the idea that urbanization rate and energy consumption increase carbon dioxide emissions in developing countries. To test this hypethesis, the study ana-lyzed the relationship between urbanization, energy consump-tion, and carbon dioxide emission specific to newly industrialized countries. Panel ARDL method was utilized in this study that scrutinized the years between 1990 and 2018. According to the long-term results of the analysis, urbanization negatively affects carbon dioxide emission in the country group aforementioned; energy consumption and economic growth that is control vari-able have a positive effect on carbon-dioxide emission. Regarding short-term results, only the energy consumption positively af-fects carbon dioxide emission while other variables are statisti-cally insignificant. The results of the analysis reveal the necessity of policies towards smart city applications in reducing carbon dioxide emissions in newly industrialized countries. In addition, turning to renewable sources in energy consumption plays a key role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

Yalçin, Selcuk
In the portfolio construction process, it is an important process to correctly identify the stocks to be included in the portfolio. There are different studies in the literature that use different valuation methods to determine the right stocks. This study uses the market multipliers method to determine the stocks to be included in the portfolio. In the study, it is investigated whether a return above the return of the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) 100 Index can be obtained with the portfolios to be formed using the market multipliers method. For this purpose, portfolios were formed by using 3 different market multipliers (P/E, FV/EBITDA, and M/B) among the companies in 12 different sectors in the BIST. 15 different portfolios were formed for 5 years and the performance of each portfolio was analyzed. Return and risk calculations of these portfolios were made and compared with the BIST 100 Index. In the study, all of the portfolios created using market multiples provided lower risk and higher returns compared to the BIST 100 Index. In particular, the portfolios constructed with F/K and PD/DD multipliers provided better results. AAsAa result of the study, it was concluded that it would be beneficial for investors to create portfolios by using F/K and PD/DD multipliers in portfolio construction processes.

Çiçen, Yildirim Beyazit
Persistent inflation remains a significant economic challenge in T & uuml;rkiye. The causes of high inflation have been examined through various factors, including supply and demand, as well as monetary and fiscal policies. However, few studies have included institutional factors in their analyses. The objective of this study is to determine whether institutional quality affects inflation in T & uuml;rkiye. A novel and robust econometric analysis method is employed in this study. Between 2005 and 2019, the inflation rate, the International Country Risk Guide's (ICRG) Political Risk Rating index, which measures the quality of institutional structure, and the changes in currency exchange rate basket variables in T & uuml;rkiye were examined using the Fourier KPSS stationarity test and the Fourier Shin cointegration test. The results of the analysis indicate that inflation rate is co-integrated with institutional quality. The deterioration of institutional quality in T & uuml;rkiye between 2005 and 2019 has been associated with an increase in inflation. While the implicit inflation targeting period in the inflation targeting regime implemented in T & uuml;rkiye after 2002 was relatively successful, the explicit inflation targeting period failed to reduce inflation. The primary reason for the inability to achieve the specified inflation targets during these periods is the deterioration in the quality of institutions. It is also important to note that central bank independence is not immune to political influence and is one of the most important factors affecting inflation targeting.

Gönan, Yavuz
Usul al-Fikh is a branch of science that aims to analyze the subjects within the scope of Islamic law according to a certain method and hierarchy. According to general and traditional acceptance, this hierarchy consists of the kitab, sunna, idjma. and kiyas, which are called al-adilla al-shar'iyya / al-adilla al-arb'.a. According to those who hold this view, this hierarchy should be taken into account when finding a solution to a legal problem. The above hierarchy also reflects the epistemological understanding of Islamic law, i.e., the source of knowledge and the method of its application. Accordingly, the source of knowledge is revelation, and reason functions as a method for understanding the verses and hadiths that reflect revelation. Since revelation is static and social demands and needs are variable or dynamic, people who will use reason, i.e. mudjtahids or jurists, have important tasks to perform in order to find solutions to these new situations. If we look at the history of Islamic jurisprudence, we will see many examples of the solutions that the mudjtahids developed for the new situations, demands, and needs that arose, as well as the quality of the method they used to develop these solutions. Throughout Islamic history, Muslim societies have experienced many events, such as the Crusades and the Mongol invasion, which have affected their social institutions and dynamics. These events have led to changes and transformations in Muslim societies, and Islamic law has tried to find solutions to the problems arising from these events. One of the greatest transformative (traumatic) forces facing Islamic societies is the phenomenon of Westernization and the social demands and needs it brings with it. During the final decades of the Ottoman Empire, particularly during the First and Second Constitutional Periods, the topics of 'family' and 'women' constituted some of the most pressing social concerns of the era. These issues, which were shaped by the process of Westernization, prompted considerable debate within the social sphere. The issue of polygamy, which has a legal dimension as well, is the most debated issue of this problem and has been the subject of a considerable number of articles both for and against it. Given the absence of legal regulation on family law in the Medjelle, which was regarded as the Civil Code of the period, there was a clear expectation and demand for the elimination of this deficiency. In response to these expectations, the Hukuk-i 'A'ile Karar-namesi was prepared in 1917 and entered into force. Prior to the decree's enactment, there were significant discussions among Ottoman intellectuals, including Babanzada Ahmad Na'im (1872-1934) and Mansurizada Sa'id Bey (1848-1921), particularly regarding polygamy. In these debates, there were those who argued that a law could be enacted to make monogamous marriage compulsory and prohibit polygamy. Conversely, there were also those who opposed this. Mansurizada, who considers polygamy to be an impediment to societal advancement as Babanzada asserts, posits that the legislative authority has the prerogative to prohibit polygamy by making monogamous marriage obligatory through legal regulation. He posits that the issue of polygamy falls within the purview of dja'iz, and that the legislator is thus empowered to enact legal regulations pertaining to a subject that falls within the scope of dja'iz. On the contrary, Babanzada posits that this matter is not within the purview of dja'iz, and thus the legislator is unable to enact legislation to restrict polygamy. In essence, the debate between them is a debate of method. It is evident that both intellectuals sought to persuade the public while presenting their views and employed certain methods to substantiate their views in the articles they wrote for this purpose. Mansurizada employs the syllogism method in the science of logic as a means of regulating polygamy through legal means. According to Babanzada, the use of such a method is to reverse the hierarchy of the al-adilla al-shar'iyya. Therefore, the assertion put forth by Mansurizada, namely that marriage with one spouse would be legally mandated, is problematic. He maintains that polygamy is subject to regulation through the kitab, sunna, idjma., and that it cannot be subjected to a new regulation using the method employed by Mansurizada. Otherwise, the legislator would be exceeding his authority and intervening in an area that is legally regulated by the Shari'ah. This is an untenable state of affairs. The present study will elucidate Babanzada's critiques of Mansurizada's methodology, which was predicated on the premise that polygamy could be constrained by legal regulation on the basis of Usul al-Fikh.

Çavdar, Ozlem
Concrete structures designed prior to the implementation of modern building codes are still in use today. These structures are known for their inadequate design and poor performance during earthquakes. In this study, a performance analysis was conducted on an existing school structure in Istanbul, Turkey. The reasons for the damage were explored, and the structure was evaluated to determine the necessity for strengthening, the potential strengthening methods, and the appropriate comparison. Finally, recommendations were presented based on the available data from this study. The building was constructed in 1996 and has calculation reports and a static project. Linear and nonlinear methods were employed to determine the earthquake safety of structures after a mathematical model was created. The earthquake resistance of both the existing and retrofitting states of the school building was analyzed using linear and nonlinear analysis methods. The controlled damage limit could not be determined due to the high seismic intensity. A retrofit project has been devised for this low seismic performance building, comprising column jacketing, wrapping of beams with FRP, and the addition of shear walls.

Karahan, Selim; Tekel, Muharrem
Paper mills use excessive amounts of water throughout production to produce paper. While mills treat water for reuse, sludge is generated and must be processed as a waste, along with some washing water. In this study, waste sludge from a kraft process mill mixed with up to 40% black pine (Pinus nigra) wood chips was investigated for multi-purpose board production using urea formaldehyde resin and ammonium chloride as a hardener. The panels were pressed at 150 degrees C for 7 minutes between 2.4 MPa and 2.6 MPa. The resulting panels were 18 mm thick, with a density of from 0.69 gr/cm3 to 0.71 g/cm3. Measurements of density, moisture, water absorption, thickness swelling, modulus of rupture, modulus of elasticity and internal bond strength to the surface were carried out on the particle board panels. The results indicated that panels could be used for general purposes.

Top, Yener; Sönmez, Gulen
Micro-scale enterprises contribute to the economies of the countries they are located in, such as employment generation, rural development, and providing training opportunities for semi-skilled workers. They constitute the majority of enterprises in terms of number, but their share in the production rate is low. Furniture manufacturing is one of the sub-branches of the main manufacturing industry, and the majority of the enterprises that produce furniture are micro-scale. These enterprises face several challenges. One of these challenges is that a significant portion of their employees have not received any formal vocational training. The communication opportunities and tools (such as social media) of our time have made it easier to access information. This has made informal education possible for those who have not received a formal vocational training or have received it but want to improve themselves. In this study, the use of social media in the vocational development of employees of micro-scale enterprises manufacturing furniture was investigated. With this objective, a structured survey was conducted face-to-face with 110 participants in the central district of Trabzon to adequately represent the target population. To analyze the data, frequency tables, Spearman Correlation Analysis, Kolmogorov-Smirnov Normality, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U and Chi-Squared Tests were used. The findings indicate that a significant majority of the employees are aged between 25 and 54, with 47.2 % lacking any vocational training. Furthermore, substantial differences were observed in the employees' use of social media for vocational development purposes, correlated with their age and educational level.

Kiziloglu, Sadiye Kotanli
The symbols that people use to express themselves are used as an indicator of national consciousness, holiness, faith and religion. The value and importance they attach to these forms of expression are embodied especially with some symbols, and they become an important means of expressing oneself. Each user has symbols that they use for different purposes. The use of accessories with symbols containing Islamic meaning or figures reflecting national values has become common, especially in recent times. It is observed that different figures are used by different users around us, and it is assumed that these uses have a value not only in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of communication. Based on this assumption, the study investigates how users use icons as a means of communication, the data obtained is evaluated in line with their own opinions, and the purposes of their use are tried to be revealed. In this context, the subject of the study is the use of religious and national symbols in the context of communication in daily life.

Ericek Maraslioglu, Serife
According to the findings of the Turkish General Social Survey (TGSS), feelings of loneliness are more prevalent among young people. Due to the frequent changes in values, emotions and thoughts that characterise individuals during this period of life, it can be said that they are particularly vulnerable to loneliness. Existential loneliness, a deeper form of loneliness, is also referred to as ultimate loneliness. Potential triggers for young individuals to experience existential loneliness include meaninglessness and the inability to make oneself understood or express one's feelings. However, loneliness has been associated with various mental and physical health problems, there is insufficient research on individuals experiencing existential loneliness during adolescence. Against this backdrop, the present study aims to examine the mediating role of dysfunctional attitudes in the relationship between religiosity and existential loneliness in individuals in early adulthood. Ethical approval for the study was granted by the G & uuml;m & uuml;& scedil;hane University Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Committee on 28/05/2025 (approval number 2025/5). The study included 408 participants (294 women and 114 men) aged between 18 and 29. Data were obtained using the Religiosity Scale, the Existential Loneliness Scale , and the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. These were analysed using IBM SPSS AMOS and the PROCESS add-on module for SPSS. Correlation analysis revealed that religiosity was negatively associated with existential loneliness and dysfunctional attitudes, while existential loneliness and dysfunctional attitudes were positively associated with each other. Additionally, the analyses revealed that dysfunctional attitudes played a mediating role in the relationship between religiosity and existential loneliness. The mediation analysis conducted within the scope of the study was performed using the PROCESS macro (Model 4). Interventions targeting dysfunctional attitudes and promoting a healthier self-concept/self-image could be crucial in safeguarding young adults against existential loneliness. These results shed light on potential psychological mechanisms that explain the effect of religiosity on loneliness experienced by young people.

Constantin Fahlberg invented saccharin during the end of 1870's. Saccharin was a product that it has strong sweetening power. Potential to sugar substitute and support of German government were provided to enlarge its market rapidly. But due to its chemical origin, some medical concerns were shown towards this product. Some doctors thought that usage of saccharin caused health problems. Due to these medical concerns, many European governments banned or restricted the entrance of this product to their countries. Fahlberg thought that his product did not deserve these critiques. According to him, critiques were originated from shaken interests of sugar industry. Near to 1900's, saccharin also entered Ottoman market. Similarly, it was also criticized by Ottoman doctors. In front of this situation, approach of Ottoman State towards saccharin happened within three stages. In the first stage, Ottoman officials did not foresee a risky situation for the usage of saccharin as a substitute for sugar. Because saccharin is a chemical drug for diabetes disease and sugar prices were very convenient. As to second stage, critiques to saccharin were taken into account. High sugar prices of this period were caused some probable risks of food fraud according to officials. Additionally, medical studies of the period provided more information about probable risks of saccharin. As a result of this situation, Ottoman State applied quantitative restrictions in saccharin import. In addition, the product could be only brought by pharmacists. Third period of saccharin in Ottoman State happened within compelling conditions of World War I. After extreme increases in sugar prices; there was an excessive demand for illegal usage of saccharin, because sugar almost disappeared from market. In front of this situation, official permission was given to saccharin usage with some restrictions.
