Types of Anchors Supporting Offshore Floating Wind Turbine Platforms
Authors: Kiriş Barbaros , Demirci Hasan Emre
Published: December 2024

Energy is considered one of the most important resources throughout human history and is one of the most basic needs. Sustainability of energy, one of the basic elements of economic growth, can be achieved with environmentally friendly and renewable energy sources. These inexhaustible power sources contribute to long-term energy security by offering significant advantages in terms of energy supply.
Wind energy offers significant advantages in terms of environmental sustainability, economic benefits and technological advances. While it reduces energy costs with low operation and mainte-nance costs, it increases energy supply security and contributes to economic development by creat-ing new jobs. Wind energy, whose efficiency has increased thanks to technological developments, is becoming available in wider geographical areas. Therefore, wind energy is an indispensable compo-nent of the renewable energy portfolio and is at the center of global energy policies.
Wind speeds in the open seas are higher and more continuous than on land increases the energy production potential. Additionally, limited space on land and the need to respond to energy demand in densely populated areas make offshore wind farms attractive. Minimizing visual and noise pollu-tion is also an important advantage. Technological advances and falling costs have made offshore wind energy more economically viable.
Floating wind turbines, on the other hand, are wind turbines installed offshore on platforms floating on the water instead of structures fixed to the seabed. These turbines are designed for off-shore wind power generation, especially in regions with deep sea/ocean depths. Floating wind tur-bines have been developed as an alternative to traditional bottom-fixed offshore wind turbines and enable the use of wind energy in waters that are not shallow enough to reach the seabed.
Within the scope of this study, the anchor types used to support floating platforms were exam-ined and compared according to loading and seabed conditions, and an evaluation was made of which anchor would be used under which conditions through literature studies.
Numerical Evaluation of the Effect of Gypsum Panels as Infill Walls in Reinforced Concrete Frame Structures
Authors: Şen Ornela , Zaçi Kostandina
Published: December 2024

Gypsum is an abundant and environmentally friendly material which has been increasingly used in the construction industry for non-structural purposes such as partition walls and ceiling systems. Traditional infill/partition walls are commonly constructed with bricks or concrete blocks, which result in somewhat stiff partition walls. The brick/block walls are often damaged by seismic events, and in some cases they even collapse, which causes life and economic losses. Gypsum board panel partition walls generally come at an initial higher cost, but also have some advantages, such as good thermal and acoustic insulation, fire resistance, lightness and ease of assembly. The structural be-havior of gypsum board panel partition walls has not been investigated though. They are expected to have a somewhat positive impact or a lesser negative impact on structures during earthquakes, due to their lightness. This paper aimed to initiate a discussion on this topic by assessing the contribu-tion of the gypsum partition walls to the structural response of RC structures. This was done by evaluating five wall material/modeling scenarios and comparing the results. Two of the scenarios used brick walls, once modeled as loads and once modeled as compression struts. The rest of the scenarios used gypsum walls once modeled as loads and then as compression struts of different widths. The results of the study indicate that the contribution of gypsum walls to the structural behavior of RC frames is insignificant and can be safely neglected during the structural design process.

Authors: Nohutcu Gökçe Yıldız , Biçer Kübra Erdem
Published: December 2024

In this study, a new numerical method has been developed to solve high-order Fredholm-Volterra integro-differential equations under mixed conditions. In this method, Bell polynomials, their derivatives, and collocation points are used to transform the problem into a matrix equation system. When this equation system is solved, approximate solutions are obtained in the form of a truncated Bell series. To demonstrate the reliability and applicability of the numerical method, some numerical examples are provided. These examples are further analyzed based on the residual error function, and the results are examined through tables and graphs.

Authors: Eyici Gökhan , Saklakoğlu Nurşen
Published: December 2024

Martenzitik paslanmaz çeliklerin istenen mikroyapıya ve mekanik özelliklere dönüştürülmesinde genellikle geleneksel ısıl işlem yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. İş parçasının kesiti ve kullanılan çeliğin sertleşebilirliğine göre, uygun bir su verme ortamı ile iş parçasının kabuktan yüzeye yeterli bir soğutma hızı sağlanarak, tüm kesitte martenzit oluşturulabilir ve istenen sertlik elde edilebilir. Ancak geleneksel ısıl işlem yöntemlerinin uzun ısıl işlem süreleri, enerji sarfiyatı ve çevreci olmayan yöntemler oluşu gelişen teknoloji ile geleneksel ısıl işlemlerin yerini indüksiyon ile ısıl işlemin alabileceği düşünülmektedir. İndüksiyon ile ısıl işlemler her ne kadar yüzey sertleştirmede akla gelse de malzemenin hacimsel olarak sertleştirilmesinde de kullanım potansiyeli bulunmaktadır.
Bu çalışmada endüstriyel kesici bıçaklar göz önünde bulundurularak ince kesitli 440B malzemelerin geleneksel ısıl işlem uygulamaları yerine indüksiyon ile ısıl işlem uygulanarak hacim sertleştirilmesi yapılmıştır. 440B numunelere indüksiyon ile ısıl işlem öncesi 950 0C’de 30 dk normalize edilmiş ve ortalama 28 HRC sertliğe sahip oldukları görülmüştür. İndüksiyon ile ısıl işlem uygulaması 2 dakika boyunca 20 °C/s ısıtma hızı ile 1080°C’de uygulanmış ve Isomax ısıl işlem yağı kullanılarak soğutulmuştur. 2 farklı grupta numune üretilmiştir: 1) Yağda soğutma sonrası 180°C’de 30 dk iki kez temperlenmiştir (S2T); 2) Yağda soğutma sonrası -80 0C’de 24 saat kriyojenik işlem uygulanmış ve ardından 180°C’de 30 dk iki kez temperlenmiştir (SK2T). Numuneler sertlik ve aşınma özellikleri açısından karşılaştırılmıştır.
Deney sonuçları incelendiğinde en yüksek sertlik artışı SK2T numunede elde edilmiştir. Sertliğin %92 arttığı ve aşınma kaybının %56 oranında azaldığı görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, en iyi aşınma dayanımı kriyojenik işlem ile elde edilmiştir. 440B martenzitik paslanmaz çeliğin indüksiyon ile yüzeyden çekirdeğe sertleşebilirliği ortaya konmuştur.

Sebastán Jorgi: memórias afetivas de Buenos Aires na obra Orsái (1965).
Authors: Vieira Denise Scolari
Published: December 2024

Este ensaio pretende visibilizar o trabalho de pesquisa  sobre o escritor argentino Sebastián Jorgi , cujas referências imaginárias para pensar a cidade reconfiguram-se através das memórias afetivas na metrópole em transformação. Portanto, ao desarticular a lógica da Buenos Aires moderna, a voz poética manifesta a decisão de nomeá-la, a partir do bairro formulado, Barracas, mediante um deslocamento autorreflexivo, no qual surgem questões sobre história, linguagem, tradição cultural e filiações estéticas. Nesse sentido, serão estudados alguns poemas extraídos da obra Orsái (1965), a partir dos pressupostos teóricos consagrados na Poética do Espaço, de Gaston Bachelard e nas Estruturas Antropológicas do Imaginário,  de Gilbert Durand. Observa-se a opção pelo lunfardo, decisão que fornece não só a matéria-prima, como também, a topofilia inicial, que sobrepassa o deslumbramento e a experimentação, pois Jorgi vai nutrir-se dessa organicidade cultural entre os vários interlocutores, que com ele estabeleceram vínculos, durante sua trajetória artística, também nas décadas posteriores. Orlando Mario Punzi, da Academia Porteña de Lunfardo, alude à decisão programática de Sebastián Jorgi, na referida obra, mediante “uma necessidade física e espiritual, de  falar do tempo feliz de sua juventude”, mas da qual, Jorgi não pode desprender-se”(Punzi, 2009). Estudá-lo, no âmbito acadêmico propicia novas possibilidades interpretativas sobre um período histórico-cultural multifacetado e aberto à pesquisa

Published: December 2024

This study investigates the factors influencing the actual usage of freight forwarding services in Indonesia, focusing on the roles of desire, outcome expectancy, and perceived self-efficacy, with delivery risk and perceived trust acting as moderating factors. Grounded in Social Cognitive Theory (SCT), this study examines how personal cognitive factors and external risks influence users' attitudes and behaviors toward freight forwarding services. Data were collected from 616 respondents across Jakarta, Surabaya, and Makassar utilizing a structured questionnaire. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. The findings reveal that desire significantly influences both attitude and delivery risk, while attitude has a strong direct effect on actual usage. Outcome expectancy and perceived self-efficacy demonstrated weaker effects, particularly on attitudes, suggesting that other factors, such as trust and risk perceptions, play a more significant role in this context. Additionally, delivery risk was found to moderate the relationship between desire and attitude, while perceived trust did not moderate the link between attitude and actual usage. The research underscores the importance of trust-building and risk mitigation strategies for freight forwarding service providers in Indonesia. The study also provides theoretical contributions by applying SCT to the logistics sector and offers practical implications for enhancing service adoption in emerging markets.

Published: December 2024

The present study analyzed the relationship between the average annual temperature and the area of Amazonian forest in the departments of Peru during the period 2013-2021, using a panel data model with random effects. The data used come from the National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) and include the average annual temperature in degrees Celsius and the area of Amazonian rainforest in thousands of hectares, both disaggregated by department. Additionally, CO2 emissions resulting from the loss of tree cover, measured in megatons (Mt) of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), were considered as a control variable. The results revealed a positive and statistically significant relationship between the area of Amazonian forest and the average annual temperature, denoting that an increase of one thousand hectares in the extension of the forest corresponds to an increase of 0.0004 °C in temperature. In this sense, the finding contradicts the climate-regulating role played by forests, however, this is attributed to the influence of unobserved confounding variables that are linked to both forest area and temperature.

Published: December 2024

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has gained research attention as the result of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), which focus on responsible consumption and production (SDG-12). However, previous studies mainly focused on Carroll’s pyramid of CSR and other facets of CSR practices need to be further explored. The objective of the study is to examine the impact of CSR practices on customer purchase intention in the clothing industry by integrating the Triple Bottom Line (TBL) model and ISO26000 best practices with the Signalling theory as the theoretical foundation. Through an online survey, a total of valid 182 responses were obtained via purposive sampling. Multiple regression was utilized for data analysis. The results show that economic CSR had the strongest impact on customer purchase intention, followed by environmental, social, and customer issues. Surprisingly, there was no significant impact between fair operating practices and customer purchase intention. The current study is unique by integrating the TBL framework with the customer-related ISO26000 CSR practices in a single framework and utilizing the Signalling Theory as the underpinning theory to explain the relationships, which is novel in an emerging market. The results provide insightful implications to the clothing company's management to emphasize the (social, economic, environmental, and customer issues) CSR attributes to guarantee business sustainability and attract consumers in this competitive marketplace.

Dubravka Kozina
Authors: Šintić Nika
Published: December 2024

U akademskom i prosvjetnom miljeu Dubravka Kozina (1956. – 2004.) pamti se poglavito kao ravnateljica IV. gimnazije u Zagrebu, i, ponešto rjeđe, filozofkinja s fokusom na prevođenje i interpretaciju Friedricha Nietzschea. Manje je poznato kako je Dubravka Kozina odigrala važnu ulogu u kreiranju i unapređenju nastavnog programa etike u srednjim školama, te da je u svojim posljednjim danima zasjela na mjesto ravnateljice Zavoda za školstvo, današnje Agencije za odgoj i obrazovanje; štoviše, izgledno je da je bila prva žena na vodećoj poziciji u jednoj od najstarijih samostalnih javnih ustanova u Hrvatskoj. Međutim, danas se njezino ime rijetko spominje čak i u institucijama čije je povijesti činila, ili mogla činiti, značajan dio. Razlog nedvojbeno leži i u dosadašnjem izostanku pokušaja da se njezino djelovanje i zasluge objedine u jedinstven panoramski rad koji bi nadilazio kratke leksikonske crtice. Upravo je zato cjelovit(ij)a slika nasljeđa Dubravke Kozine prikaziva jedino kombiniranjem formalnih i neformalnih izvora, od kojih potonji u ovom slučaju uključuju intervjue s njezinom obitelji, kolegama i prijateljima, kao i neobjavljene radove i skripte pohranjene u zbirci njezina supruga. Tek je tada moguće uvidjeti vrijednost humanističkog pristupa kojim je namjeravala zaokružiti čitav obrazovno-odgojni sustav. Uz nadu da tom uvidu mogu doprinijeti, predstojeća poglavlja nastoje sistematizirati prikupljene materijale o filozofkinji kroz tri tematske cjeline: biografski pregled, filozofski rad te djelatnost u području školstva.

Published: December 2024

The authors of the article used the Tetra-Primer ARMS-PCR reaction method to identify heterozygous carriers of the HH2 fertility haplotype in Holstein cows of foreign selection. A total of 150 DNA samples were tested, of which 8 individuals turned out to be heterozygous carriers of single-nucleotide deletion; the frequency of the harmful mutation was 5.4%. It has been established that the detection of DNA fragments on an electropherogram with sizes of 281 bp, 184 bp. and 145 bp, indicates that the animal is a heterozygous carrier of the HH2 fertility haplotype. It should be noted that to control the spread of harmful mutations, it is necessary to conduct selective genetic monitoring of the cattle population.

Investigating the Role of Cultural Blending in Creating Modern Menu Trends
Authors: Himanshu Mehra
Published: December 2024

Cultural blending has become a pivotal factor in shaping modern culinary trends, reflecting a dynamic interplay of tradition and innovation. In an era of globalization, the exchange of cultural elements extends beyond borders, influencing food preparation, presentation, and consumption. This study analyzes how cultural blending contributes to the making of modern menu trends with a focus on its contribution to culinary innovation, consumer preferences, and the issues that chefs and restaurateurs face in upholding authenticity. This research is an exploration into case studies of famous fusion cuisines and consumer behaviour analysis that brings into focus both the opportunities and the risks presented by the integration of diverse cultural influences into menus.
A mixed-methods approach is used in the research-including qualitative and quantitative analysis. A data collection approach was utilized: conducting interviews with chefs and restaurateurs, surveys with the diners, and a thematic analysis of the designs of menus from widely acknowledged fusion restaurants. In brief, results show that blending of cultures promotes creativity where creative dish making by chefs helps serve adventurous consumers. It brings into debate also issues of cultural appropriation, misrepresentation, and unsustainability. For example, successful fusion dishes, like sushi burritos or kimchi tacos, reflect creativity in the kitchen but usually involve a sensitive evaluation of ingredient sourcing and storytelling to avoid commodifying cultural elements.
The results show that cultural curiosity, presentation, and balance of flavors are the major factors affecting consumer acceptance of fusion cuisine. Millennials and Gen Z diners have a great appreciation for novelty and inclusivity in dining experiences. The study further highlights the role of digital platforms in amplifying the visibility of fusion cuisine, as food photography and storytelling on social media significantly influence menu trends and customer engagement.
This study is therefore relevant for understanding the development of cultural fusion in culinary arts, such as in fusion menus development, while pointing out a sense of cultural heritage respecting innovation. It provides a call for chefs and restaurateurs to develop collaborations with cultural experts, education about the roots of dishes, and sustainability to provide authenticity and integrity for the culture.
