Published: March 2023

Background:
Blood glucose (BG) monitoring with portable blood glucose meters (PBGMs) is a critical aspect in managing canine diabetes mellitus. Some dogs best tolerate sampling from the ear, others from the lip, and others from other body sites. It is relevant to know if the choice of the sampling site affects the glucose concentration.
Aim:
To compare different sampling sites for BG measurement in diabetic and non-diabetic dogs using veterinary PBGM. Moreover, determining the possible impact of body condition score (BCS) on BG concentration.
Methods:
Thirty-seven healthy and 12 diabetic dogs were included. A veterinary PBGM was used to measure blood glucose concentrations in a total of 196 blood samples collected from marginal ear vein (MEV), carpal pad, saphenous vein, and cephalic vein. The results obtained from the different sampling sites were compared.
Results:
The carpal pad, MEV, cephalic vein, and saphenous vein blood glucose values were not significantly different at the different blood collection sites. There was no significant difference between higher and lower BCS in BG measurements in the different sampling sites
Conclusion:
Different sampling sites, likewise utilizing either a venous or capillary sample, had no significant effect on BG measurement using veterinary PBGMs. The BCS seems to have no relevant influence on dog blood glucose measurement.

Authors: Zha Haifeng
Published: March 2023

In recent years, influenced by the surge in the number of master's degree applicants and the new crown epidemic, the scale of graduate student admissions has maintained a relatively stable growth trend. While promoting the development of postgraduate education in China, the expansion of graduate students has also made universities face the challenge of declining quality of student sources. Therefore, this paper takes the total admission data of master's degree students from 2018 to 2022 of university A as the research sample, and analyzes the quality condition of student source of university A by analyzing the application ratio, overall admission, source of candidates and other basic conditions. It is found that: firstly, the admission ratio of university A is higher than the overall national admission ratio and reaches 5.63 in 2022. The proportion of admitted candidates of first-volunteer shows a wavy upward trend, while the proportion of admitted candidates of transfer is generally decreasing and shows a wavy downward trend. Secondly, the proportion of graduated students of double first-class construction universities among admitted candidates is relatively small, and the admitted candidates of A universities are mainly dominated by candidates of the first and second batches of undergraduates. Meanwhile,the percentage of admitted candidates of management and economics-related majors reached 70%. Thirdly, the analysis of the basic situation of admitted candidates found that the proportion of our students in the total admissions varied between 25% and 30%, which was relatively large. The proportion of admitted candidates from previous years is much higher than the proportion of admitted freshmen, with the proportion varying between 50% and 60%. The proportion of admitted candidates in the province is generally decreasing, but still occupies 70% of the total. In this paper, we analyze the situation related to the student source of college A, gain an in-depth understanding of its student source quality situation, and propose a path to improve the student source quality, which has important practical significance for college A to improve the student source quality structure and alleviate the continuous decline of student source quality.

Körpergewicht und BMI bezeugen einen hohen Lebensstandars im europäischen Mittelalter
Authors: Siegmund Frank
Published: March 2023

Body mass (BM) and body mass index (BMI) are often used as proxies for biological standard of living, and in medicine to identify weight related health risks. In archaeology, BM estimation was applied to early hominines (Ruff u. a. 1991; McHenry 1992; Grine u. a. 1995; Auerbach/Ruff 2004), but only exceptionally to individuals from agricultural populations (Ruff u. a. 2006). The present study applies four BM estimation formula based on femoral head to a systematic collection of medieval populations (4th–15th c. AD ) from Central Europe (33 series, 1349 individuals with known sex and age, i.e. 718 males, 631 females). The comparison of the estimations indicates the span of possible errors and shows the most plausible solution, given by the combination of BM estimation after Auerbach/ Ruff (2004) and stature estimation after Pearson (1899). The mean body mass of males in medieval times was 71 kg, of females 59 kg, mean BMI was 25.5 resp. 24.5, which indicates a good standard of living. The results are differentiated among age groups, social groups and periods within medieval age. The mean BMI increased significantly from early to late medieval times by 1.0 (♂) resp. 1.1 (♀), which was caused by a reduction of mean stature of 3.2 cm (♂) resp. 2.9 cm (♀). Comparison of BM, stature and BMI demonstrates a higher standard of living for subadults in Early Medieval time compared to 8th to 15th century. Different social groups within adults, as indicated by the early medieval grave goods, show no significant differences in BMI.

STUDY OF LITHIUM ION CHARGING AND DISCHARGING CHARACTERISTICS
Authors:   Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Dayalbagh , Agra282005, KUMAR MEHER
Published: March 2023

Lithium –Ion batteries are now popular in majority of electronic portable devices like Mobile phone, Laptop, Digital Camera, etc. due to their long lasting power efficiency. These are the most popular rechargeable batteries with advantages like best energy density, negligible charge loss and no memory effect. Li-Ion battery uses Lithium ions as the charge carriers which move from the negative electrode to the positive electrode during discharge and back when charging. During charging, the external current from the charger applies an over voltage than that in the battery. This forces the current to pass in the reverse direction from the positive to the negative electrode where the lithium ions get embedded in the porous electrode material through a process called Intercalation. The Li- Ions pass through the non-aqueous electrolyte and a separator diaphragm. The electrode material is intercalated lithium compound. The negative electrode of the Li-Ion battery is made up of carbon and the positive electrode is a metal oxide. The most commonly used material in the negative electrode is Graphite while that in the positive electrode may be Lithium cobalt oxide, Lithium ion phosphate or Lithium manganese oxide. Lithium salt in an organic solvent is used as the electrolyte. The electrolyte is typically a mixture of organic carbonates like Ethylene carbonate or Diethyl carbonate containing lithium ions. The electrolyte uses anion salts like Lithium hexa fluoro phosphate, Lithium hexa fluoro arsenate monohydrate, Lithium per chlorate, Lithium hexa fluoro borate etc. Depending upon the salt used, the voltage, capacity and life of the battery varies. Pure lithium reacts with water vigorously to form lithium hydroxide and hydrogen ions. So the electrolyte used is non aqueous organic solvent. The electrochemical role of the electrodes charge between anode and cathode depends on the direction of current flow.
COMPARISON ON STUDY OF LITHIUM ION PARALLEL AND LEAD ACID PARALLEL CHARGING AND DISCHARGING CHARACTERISTICS
Authors:   Dayalbagh Educational Institute, Dayalbagh , Agra282005, KUMAR MEHER
Published: March 2023

Lead acid battery may be used in parallel with one or more batteries of equal voltage. When connecting batteries in parallel, the current from the charger will tend to divide almost equally between the batteries. No special matching of batteries required .If the batteries of unequal capacity are connected parallel, the current will tend to divide between the batteries in the ratio of capacities (actually, internal resistances).When charging batteries in parallel, where different ratios of charge are to be expected, it is best to make provisions to assure the currents will not vary too much between batteries. Lithium batteries can be connected to generate more energy to run larger motors or extra capacity. Connecting the lithium batteries in parallel is one way to increase the ampere-hours of a battery. As far as disadvantages, placing batteries in parallel can make them take longer to charge. Also, the lower voltage means higher current draw and more voltage drop. It may be difficult to power large applications, and one need thicker cables. Imbalanced lithium-ion cells die the first time one try to use them. This is why balancing is absolutely required. Battery cells, especially lithium cells are very sensitive to overcharging and over-discharging. Balancing is only necessary for packs that contain more than one cell in series. Parallel cells will naturally balance since they are directly connected to each other, but groups of parallel wired cells, wired in series (parallel-series wiring) must be balanced between cell groups.

A Study on Strategies to Enhance the Status of English Subject
Authors: Guo Ao
Published: March 2023

The status of the discipline is the key to its development. This paper investigates the current status of the subject of English in high schools and argues that its reduced disciplinary status will have a profound impact on the development of English. From the perspective of an independent discipline, high school English teaching is a relatively independent discipline. The disciplinary position is both a matter of doctrine and jurisprudence. Because it has not been given its proper disciplinary status for a long time, high school English teaching used to be introduced as a flexible teaching mode in the profession of talent training. With the in-depth development of the reform of English teaching in high schools in China, the discipline construction of English teaching in colleges and universities needs more attention, and it is suggested that English is strengthened as a professional course, and the status of English discipline is continuously enhanced and upgraded.

Published: March 2023

Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a type of computer memory that has the ability to retain stored data even when power is disconnected. Its significance is growing due to the increasing need for fast storage and access to large volumes of data. To maximize the potential of NVM, efficient usage is crucial, which involves optimizing data structures, reducing read and write operations, and minimizing data transfer between NVM-connected applications in areas where low latency and high throughput is essential, such as in-memory databases, high-performance computing, and real-time analytics. Improving NVM efficiency can also enhance the durability and reliability of stored data by reducing the frequency of writes, extending its lifespan, and minimizing the risk of data loss. The aim of this study is to achieve 100% NVM efficiency through software modules developed for Telematic Control Units, which is critical for optimizing reliability in automotive applications. Moreover, efficient use of NVM plays a vital role in the hardware supply chain, covering the various stages of creating, deploying, and managing hardware components that use NVM. It is necessary to minimize waste, reduce costs, and improve the quality of manufactured products. Efficient use of NVM is crucial in optimizing the production and management of NVM-based hardware to minimize the number of discarded components, increase usable components produced, and reduce the need for rework. Therefore, the efficient use of NVM is vital for obtaining higher quality and cost-effective hardware components in the supply chain. The study describes the use of fully efficient NVM for Telematic Control Units, which provides a reliable and efficient solution, especially in addressing the supply problems experienced in hardware today.
GAS SENSORS BASED ON METAL OXIDE NANOPARTICLES AND THEIR APPLICATION FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY HAZARDOUS GASES DETECTION A MINI-REVIEW
Authors: Jońca Justyna , Sówka Izabela
Published: March 2023

Hazardous gases have adverse effects on living organisms and the environment. They can beclassified into two categories, i.e. toxic gases (e.g. H2S, SO2, CO, NO2, NO and NH3) and greenhousegases (e.g. N2O, CH4 and CO2). Moreover, their presence in confined areas may lead to fireaccidents, cause serious health problems or even death. Therefore, monitoring of these substanceswith gas sensors allows assessing the quality of the atmosphere, helps avoiding accidents and saveslives. Metal oxide semiconductor gas sensors (MOS) are one of the most popular choices for theseapplications owing to their numerous advantages, i.e. high sensitivity, long lifetime and shortresponse time. However, these devices have their limitations as well. They exhibit baseline drift,sensor poisoning and poor selectivity. Although much has been done in order to deal with thoseproblems, the improvement of MOS sensors continues to attract researchers attention.The strict control of gas sensing materials preparation is one of the approaches that helps to improveMOS sensors performance. Nanomaterials have been found to be more suitable candidates for gasdetection than materials designed at microscale. Moreover, it was found that the regular and orderedmorphology of metal oxide nanostructures, their loading with noble metals, or the formation ofheterojunctionscan exert additional influence on the properties of these nanostructures andimprove their gas sensing performance, which will be described in the following sections of thispaper. Following a discussion of the operation principle of MOS sensors, a comprehensive review ofthe synthesis and application of metal oxide nanoparticles in the construction of the MOS sensorsdedicated for environmentally hazardous gases is presented. The paper discusses also present issuesand future research directions concerning application of nanotechnology for gas sensing.

Published: March 2023

Mastitis is the inflammation of udder parenchyma and mostly occurs due to an invasion of bacteria through its teat canal from environment or during milking procedure. Mastitis is a multifactorial threshold trait resulting from interaction between genetic components of the host, infectious agents and environmental factors (Keviletsu and Yadav 2009).This disease can be identified by abnormalities in the milk, udder parenchyma with or without systemic illness. Mastitis is the most common and costly disease of dairy cattle today and remains one of the major problems for the dairy industry. Significant economic losses are mostly due to pathogen-mediated damage of milk secreting tissue of udder, lower milk yield and its degraded quality, early culling, loss of genetic potential, higher veterinary expenses, and increased labour cost for a farmer. Among the several barriers in achieving the milk production targets, mastitis continues to remain as a most challenging impediment, since the affected quarters show 30% less productivity and cow loses about 50% of production (NAAS 2013). In the affected animals, the milk yield is reduced considerably. Estimates of milk yield loss by different workers range from 100 to 500 kg/cow per lactation. When clinical mastitis occurs, additional costs result from discard of abnormal milk, cost of drugs and veterinary services. According to a study, the estimated loss following clinical mastitis in cows was almost 700 kg in first lactation and 1, 200 kg in the second or higher lactation.

OUTPUT CONTROL BY LINEAR TIME-VARYING SYSTEMS USING PARAMETRIC IDENTIFICATION METHODS
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Vo Quoc Dat
Published: March 2023

The problem of control for time-varying linear systems by the output (i.e. without measuring the vector of state variables or derivatives of the output signal) was considered. For the control design, the well-known online procedure for solving the Riccati matrix differential equation is chosen. For synthesis of the observer of state variables, a new approach is proposed, providing the possibility of obtaining monotonous estimates of convergence with the regulation of transition time. The main idea of the synthesis of observers is based on the transformation of the original dynamic system to a linear regression model containing unknown parameters, which in turn were functions of the initial conditions of the state variables of the control object. Then the DREM algorithm is used to estimate the state variables. Some simulations on Matlab/Simulink prove the correctness of the theory built, ensuring the good quality of the response processes.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a therapeutic modality that can be applied with many photosensitizing compounds (PS). Photosensitization has shown promising results in damage against abnormal cell growth as cancer and inactivating a broad spectrum of microorganisms with no reported microbial resistance. Photodynamic processes occur by the light action at the appropriate wavelength in the presence of a PS that will be excited by the energy absorbed from the light source, where the interaction with the oxygen present in the cell will generate reactive oxygen species (ROS). The potential of phenazines as a photosensitizer is reviewed in this chapter as a practical guide to the future development of formulations that are effective for cancer treatment and microorganism control. Here we mainly summarize articles about phenazines from 2005 to 2021 when we performed a systematic search in the Science Direct, PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and Scopus databases. The carrier systems formed by micellar copolymers type Pluronic® have demonstrated effectiveness in incorporating several PS, ensuring its monomeric form for PDT applications. The fundamentals of the photosensitization mechanism are discussed. Studies have shown the beneficial impact of an appropriate incorporation technique to enhance the cellular uptake of phenazines compounds.

En çok bilinen gemi inşa malzemeleri çelik, alüminyum alaşımları, elyaf destekli kompozit ürünler ile birlikte ahşap malzemelerdir. Bu çalışmada en çok bilinen inşa malzemelerin aksine betonun gemi gövdesinin inşasında kullanıldığı periyotlar özellikle askeri uygulamalarda nedenleriyle birlikte incelenmektedir. Tarihçesi 1848 yıllarına kadar dayanan beton gemiler kargo gemisi, yüzer barç, yat, balıkçı tekneleri olmak üzere birçok alanda işletilmiştir. Çelik tedarikinin zor ve maliyetli olduğu, nitelikli iş gücü ihtiyacının tam olarak karşılanamadığı özellikle birinci ve ikinci dünya savaşı döneminde oldukça büyük ölçekli beton gemiler inşa edilmiş fakat bu gemilerin hiçbiri operasyonel faaliyetlerini günümüze kadar sürdürememiştir. Genellikle inşa edildikten kısa bir süre sonra ana amaçlarının dışında eğitim gemisi, depo veya dalga kıran olarak kullanılmış veya batırılmıştır. Bu çalışma beton gemiler ile ilgili tarihsel gelişimi ham çelik üretimini de göz önünde bulundurarak incelemekte aynı zamanda süreç boyunca beton gemilerle ilgili yaşan olumsuzlukları, gemilerin son durumu ile ilgili literatüre katı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Ayrıca literatürde oldukça az değinilen bu alana katkı sağlayarak, bu alanda çalışacak akademisyenler, uzmanlar ve denizcilik paydaşları için önemli bir kaynak oluşturmayı hedeflemektedir.

Published: March 2023

Dil, toplumların birleştirici unsurlarından birdir. Osmanlı Devleti de özellikle son dönemlerinde dilin bu özelliğinin farkına varmıştır. Aydınlar ve devlet adamları dil politikaları geliştirmişler; Türkçe ile ilgili çalışmaların yürütülmesine öncülük etmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılmış ayrıca içerik analizinden de faydalanılmıştır. Konuyla ilgili arşiv belgeleri ve basılı ve elektronik kaynaklar taranmıştır. Alan yazında bulunan çalışmalardan faydalanılarak Osmanlı Devleti son dönemi dil politikası ve 1869 Maarif-i Umumiye Nizamnamesi’nde yer alan Türkçe eğitimiyle ilgili kısımlar incelenmiş ayrıca yine arşiv belgelerinden yararlanılarak okullar için ayrı ayrı verilen mevzuatlar üzerinden konu tartışılarak yorumlanmıştır.Sonuç olarak; Osmanlı Devleti yöneticileri halkın birliğini ve dirliğini sağlamak için Türkçeyi birleştirici unsur olarak görmüşlerdir. Uzun Türkçe tartışmaları sonucunda ilk anayasa Kanun-ı Esasi ile birlikte resmi dil Türkçe olmuş bu konuda pek çok düzenleme yapılmıştır. Türkçeyi yeni nesle öğretmek öncelikli amaç olmuştur. Özellikle okullarda Türkçe dersleri zorunlu hale getirilmiştir. 1869 tarihli Maarif-i Umumiye Nizamnamesi’nde Türkçe önemli bir yer tutmuştur. Ancak maddi yetersizlikler ve öğretmen sıkıntısı mevzuatın uygulanmasını sıkıntıya sokmuştur. Dilde sadeleşme çalışmaları, tercüme eserlerin artması, telif eserlerin teşvik edilmesi, Türkçe öğretmenlerinin yetiştirilmesi, Türkçe bilmeyenlerin okullara alınmaması ve memur olamaması, afişlerin, duyuruların Türkçe olması şartı gibi önlemlerle Türkçe yaygınlaştırılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Bu çalışmadaYaratıcılığın ve hayal gücünün ifadesi olan güzel sanatlar, insanda güzellik ve zevk uyandıran, duygu ve düşüncelerin estetik bir şekilde ifade edilmesinde araç görevi üstlenen bir dışa vurumdur. Farklı şekillerde varlığını gösteren güzel sanatlar her zaman ilgi görmüş ve sanatçının özgür bir şekilde duygu ve düşüncelerini yansıtmada önemli bir rol oynamıştır. İnsanlık tarihi boyunca hayatın bir parçası olan sanat; kimi zaman dönemini olduğu gibi yansıtmış, kimi zaman eleştirmiş, kimi zaman da bir düşünceyi özgür bir şekilde vurgulamıştır. Bu bağlamda sanat, hem kişiye özeldir hem de toplumun bir parçasıdır. Umut, istek, korku, heyecan, üzüntü, mutluluk gibi duyguları harekete geçiren sanat, insanın var olduğu her yerde vardır. Bu duyguları sanatçı yaşadığı ve gözlemlediği çevreyi, algılama şekline göre biçimlendirip; şiir, resim, müzik, heykel gibi sanat eserlerine dönüştürmüştür. Bu eserler biçim ve ifade şekilleri farklı olsa da toplumsal bir amaca hizmet etmiştir. Bilgi birikimlerinin yetenekle buluştuğu, farklı sanatsal çalışmaların bir araya geldiği bu kitap güzel sanatlar alanında çeşitli faaliyet gösteren sanatçıların hazırladığı bölümlerden oluşmaktadır. Çalışma ile güzel sanatlar alanına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.

Published: March 2023

Günümüzde sporun önemi pek çok açıdan anlaşılmıştır. Bu durum antrenörlerin de önemini de ortaya koyarken kişilik özelliklerinin ve bu özelliklerin uygulanma şeklinin de aslında gerekliliğini göstermiştir. Çalışmamızda antrenörlerin öncelikle önemi üzerinde durulmuştur. Ardından lider olmanın faydaları açıklanmış ve nihayet liderlik stilleri ve yaklaşımları ile detaylandırılmıştır. Amacımız antrenörlerin sporcu ve takım üzerindeki etkilerini araştırarak bu etkiler neler olabileceğini alan yazın taranarak ortaya koymaktır. Araştırmamızda öncelikle sporcunun tek başına başarısına odaklanmanın veya kişisel olarak gelişimine katkı sağlayarak yol almanın olumlu ve olumsuz yönlerinden yola çıkılmıştır. Bu anlamda liderlik özeliklerine bakılmış, liderlik yaklaşımları ve stilleri irdelenmiştir. Sonuçta gelmiş olduğumuz nokta antrenörlerin sadece çalıştırdıkları sporcu veya takımlar için değil aslında temas ettikleri her bir birey için ne denli önemli bir noktada olduğudur. Bu sebeptendir ki; antrenörlerin her daim bu bilinçle ve istikrarla çalışarak, sadece başarı odağı olmadan hem kendileri hem de diğer ilişkide oldukları kişi veya kuruluşlarla el ele ilerlemeleri doğru olacaktır. Bu süreçte de bireysel gelişimleri için hiç durmadan çalışıp her türlü faydayı sağlamak primer hedefleri olmalıdır. Bunun için de en önemli husus hem kendi kişiliklerine hem de çalıştırdıkları branşa uygun bir davranış stilini kullanmaları herkes için en uygun olacağıdır.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, motivasyon kavram ve kapsamından yola çıkarak spor örgütlerinde motivasyon ve performans arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaçla motivasyon ve performans üzerine literatür taraması yapılarak; motivasyon türleri, araçları, teorileri ile performans türleri ve performansı etkileyen unsurlar hakkında elde edilen detaylı bilgilerin derlenmesi sağlanmıştır. Sonuç olarak spor örgütlerinde çalışanların motivasyon ve performansı arasında olumlu yönde bir ilişki olduğu ve bu konunun örgüt yönetimi tarafından ele alınması gerektiği, motivasyon ve performansın arttırılması için çalışanların yeteneklerini geliştirecek eğitimlerin aldırılması, ihtiyaçlarının karşılanması, yeterli kaynak ve iyi bir çalışma ortamının sunulması, en önemlisi de çalışanlarını iyi bir yönetim anlayışıyla yönetmesi gerektiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu olanakları sağlayabilen örgütlerin daha yüksek performansla çalışan bireylere sahip olabileceği ve dolayısıyla da daha yüksek değer ve prestij sahibi olarak köklü bir işletmeye dönüşme imkanı elde edebileceğini söylemek mümkündür.

Geriatrik Bireylerde Akıllı Telefon Bağımlılığı ile Yalnızlığın İlişkisi
Authors: Dalaylı Feyza
Published: March 2023

Yaşlılık döneminde fiziki olarak yalnız kalan kimseler hem psikolojik hem de fiziksel sağlık açısında problem yaşayabilirler. Konuyla ilgili yapılan araştırmalar yaş ilerledikçe yalnızlığın arttığını göstermektedir (Pinquart ve Sorensen, 2001; Hawkley ve Cacioppo, 2010). Dolayısıyla yaşlı bireylerin yalnız kaldıkları dönemleri değerlendirmek için çeşitli aktivitelerle uğraşmak istemeleri kaçınılmazdır. Dijitalleşmenin yaşamın her alanında görülmeye başlaması ve akıllı cihaz kullanımının artışının da özellikle yalnız kalan bireyler arasında daha yaygın olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu araştırmada da geriatrik bir diğer ifadeyle yaşlı bireylerde akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ile yalnızlık arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Akıllı telefon aracılığıyla 8 yaşlı bireyle hem sosyal medya ortamı olan Instagram hem de telefon sohbet uygulaması olan WhatsApp’ta görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Aynı zamanda bu kişiler ile WhatsApp ve Instagram hesaplarında arkadaş olunup 30 gün boyunca profilleri de ayrıntılı olarak incelenmiştir. Cinsiyete bağlı analiz yapabilmek için 4 birey erkek ve 4 birey kadın olarak seçilmiştir. Aynı zamanda bu görüşmeler belli periyodlar aracılığıyla yapılmış olup aynı zamanda akıllı telefonlarında geçirdikleri zaman aralıkları da saptanmaya çalışılmıştır.

Günümüzde tüketiciler farklı markalarla karşı karşıya kaldıkları için karar vermede ve satın alma sürecinde bazı zorluklarla karşılaşmaktadır. Tüketiciler bazı ihtiyaçlarını gidermek için birbirinden farklı satın alma davranışı göstermektedirler. Bu satın alma kararı aşamasında tüketiciler, ihtiyaçlarını en iyi şekilde karşılayacak ve kendilerinde tatmin duygusu oluşturacak bir marka arayışına girmektedirler. Gelişen teknoloji ile artık neredeyse üretilen çoğu ürün ya da hizmet birbirinin aynısı haline gelmiştir. İşletmeler bu benzerliğin önüne geçerek ve kendilerini diğer işletmelerden ayırarak bir farklılık oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadırlar. Markaların pazardaki konumlarını koruyabilmeleri ve bu pozisyonlarını devam ettirebilmeleri için tüketicileri elde tutmaları gerekmektedir. Dolayısıyla markalar mevcut ve potansiyel müşterilerin zihinlerinde kendilerini en iyi marka olarak konumlandırmayı başararak markaya karşı bağlılık oluşturmalıdırlar. Artan rekabet ortamında bireylerin markalara duydukları güven ve bağlılık satın alma sürecinde tüketicilere faydalar sağlamaktadır. Bu bakımdan marka bağlılığı olan bireyler satın alma kararı aşamasında çok fazla zorluk yaşamamaktadırlar. Marka bağlılığı, aynı ürün veya hizmeti sunan markaların olduğu rekabet ortamında tüketicilerin bir markayla duygusal bağ kurması ve markanın ürün ve hizmetlerini tereddüt etmeden satın almasıdır. Markalar rekabet ortamında varlığını koruyabilmek ve devamlılıklarını sağlayabilmek için mevcut müşterilerini elde tutmaları, potansiyel müşterileri de etkilemeleri gerekmektedir. Markalar bu şekilde karlılığın devamını sağlayabilirler. İşletmeler sahip oldukları markaları devamlı ve etkin şekilde kullandıklarında tüketicilerin algılarında yer edinip bulundukları konumu sağlamlaştırmakta ve marka bağlılığını güçlendirmektedirler. Çalışmada, değişen teknoloji ve hızla büyüyen pazarlarda markaların tüketicilerle kurdukları bağ, tüketicilerin markaya duyduğu güven, marka bağlılığı ve tüketicilerin satın alma davranışını nelerin etkilediğini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Trabzon Üniversitesi’nde öğrenim gören öğrencilere 07 Aralık-21 Aralık 2022 tarihleri arasında çevrim içi anket yapılmıştır.
