W obecnych czasach coraz bardziej niepokoi ocieplenie klimatu. Jest ono wynikiem, między innymi, gromadzenia się nadmiernej ilości gazów cieplarnianych, w tym CO2. Z inicjatywy obrońców środowiska powstały w ramach Unii Europejskiej dokumenty, stanowiące wytyczne do obniżania emisji szkodliwych spalin, wydalanych przez masowe ilości pojazdów, poruszających się po drogach Europy i nie tylko. Wytyczne te, przyjęte przez państwa Unii, wskazują na konieczność - w zakresie zasilania pojazdów - na przechodzenie od tradycyjnych paliw kopalnych, na rzecz różnych, mniej szkodliwych dla środowiska kuli ziemskiej. W opracowaniu zaprezentowano tradycyjne paliwa do samochodów, tendencje w zakresie upowszechniania ich mniej toksycznych alternatyw oraz akty normatywne, wskazujące kierunki badań nad ich wdrożeniem. Zwrócono uwagę, na istniejący w Polsce stan w zakresie infrastruktury technicznej do dystrybucji nowych rodzajów paliw. Wymieniono etapy odejścia od tradycyjnej tzw. benzyny, na rzecz przede wszystkim pojazdów hybrydowych i elektrycznych. Zaprezentowana w skrócie problematyka bazuje na opracowanych pod kierunkiem autora, zaimplementowanych fragmentach pracy magisterskiej [18]. Analiza stanu wdrożenia nowych technologii zasilania pojazdów została pokazana na podstawie wywiadu z przedstawicielem ochrony środowiska i ankietyzacji, przeprowadzonej z pracownikami stacji paliw w mieście Tarnowskie Góry i jej okolicach.

Published: May 2024

To segregate the Titanium (Ti) from the reinforcements of the molten scrap of Titanium/Aluminum (Ti/Al) composite, application of ultrasonic vibration is known to be one of the sound techniques. Various studies have been looked at the effect of ultrasonic vibration on the melting process, however not much have been investigated with respect to the solidification process. To fabricate Ti/Al composites in situ, ultrasonic vibration can be effectively used to compress the solidifying melt during the casting process. In this line, the present study focused to investigate the influence of ultrasonic vibration and squeeze pressure on solidification behavior of the α-Al matrix, characteristics of the matrix-reinforcements interface, and distribution of reinforcements. The experimental data indicated that when the amplitude was 60 μm, the Vickers hardness, yield strength, and tensile strength of composites increased by 8.6, 3.9, and 3.1 %, respectively, due to gravity casting. While the squeeze pressure was increased from 50 to 100 MPa, the mean grain size decreased from 90 to 60 μm during the ultrasonic aided squeeze casting (SC) process. However, as the squeeze pressure was raised, the microstructures became coarser and the mechanical characteristics weakened. Yield strength, and tensile strength were increased by 18.7% and 3.2%, respectively, when the squeeze pressure was 100 MPa.
The Role of the Bank for International Settlements in the Global Financial Architecture
Authors:   , Akkaya Yerli Pelin
Published: May 2024

The aim of this thesis is to understand the role of the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in the global financial architecture (GFA) for the integration of peripheral economies into global finance during the 1990s. Even though there has been increasing attention to and a surge in academic studies concerning the BIS, its relation to peripheral countries, as the BIS expanded its membership and incorporated several new members during the 1990s, has been overlooked. While this study seeks to unpack the increasing interaction of peripheral central bankers within the transnational networks of central bankers established through the BIS, it aims to fulfil two objectives: first, empirically understand the specific role played by the BIS for the articulation of peripheral economies into global finance and hence to highlight the special role of the BIS played in the GFA during the 1990s. Secondly, I aim to contribute theoretically to the study of global governance by employing a critical political economy approach, specifically transnational historical materialism. By unpacking the socialisation process of peripheral countries within the BIS, I aim to contribute to the transnational historical materialist explanations of the role of global governance mechanisms. I employ the concept of socialisation, which focuses on the role of ideas and power relations to understand the social and political function of global financial governance arrangements. The thesis aims to unpack micro-processes of socialisation of new members that lead to compliance with international financial standards and norms. To this end, the study uses expert interviews with high-level central bankers from country case studies of Chile, Turkey and Malaysia. These countries were selected as they represent different geographical locations, associated with distinct significant turning points in the history of global finance and global financial governance, as well as they show similar patterns of economic development. The extensive research on the BIS during the 1990s and the analysis of country case studies’ economic development during their increasing interaction with the BIS shows the BIS fulfils the function of socialisation of new member countries for the dissemination of a new understanding of central banking, identified with scientisation, financialisation and transnationalisation via social dynamics such as authority of central bankers and their expert knowledge; informal, technical and depoliticised functions of the BIS that exercise persuasion and peer pressure; as well as identity formation to create a sense of belonging. Country studies show that the BIS has been crucial in propagating central banking ideas to peripheral countries, and the conceptualisation of socialisation from a Gramscian perspective corroborates how it has unfolded for the central banks of Chile, Turkey and Malaysia.

This article delves into the transliteration methods employed in translating Chinese to other languages, drawing on the "Five Principles of Non-Translation". It examines the essence of this theory and its contemporary feasibility, highlighting the value of Xuanzang's principles.
AN UNUSUAL FLOWER AMONG THE TRADITIONAL ANTHEMION IN SMINTHEION: ARUM MACULATUM
Authors: Kaplan Davut
Published: May 2024

Anthemion frieze in Greek and Roman architecture consists of lotus and palmette
flowers, whose origins are based on Egyptian and Assyrian art. Compared to the classical
and Hellenistic architectural samples, there is much more variety in the architectural
decorations of the Roman period, apart from the lotus-palmette. The reason for this diversity
in decoration stems from the idea of Rome to emphasize the local and to increase the richness
in decoration. During this period, the change in the arrangement of the lotus-palmette shows
itself with the different arrangement and style of the lotus and palmettes on the same
structure. In this thought, which aims to create richness instead of uniformity, decorations
can either increase or decrease in size or be adorned in high relief or shallow, depending on
where they are used. Vivid specimens that show the highest quality of workmanship and are
pleasing to the eye are preferred in visible areas. Anthemion decoration has been widely used
in the Hellenistic triple arrangement since the Augustus period and the Julius-Claudian
period. In the Traian and Hadrian Periods, a return to the classical style of the Augustus
period was made, and the triple arrangement became fashionable again. One example that
adds a new type to this traditional lotus-palmette (anthemion) frieze is the Smintheion frieze
block fragment. Here, the arum maculatum is placed instead of the lotus flower between the
alternating open and closed palmettes seen in the most common anthemion decoration. Arum
maculatum and arum species have been used in the treatment of some diseases since ancient
times to find healing and continue to be used today. The fact that this plant is the most
powerful and showy plant that survived around Gülpınar-Smintheion must have had a great
impact on people. Arum is a plant that impresses people with its external appearance and
leaves different implications with its sexual connotation. At the same time, it is different from
other plants in that it contains both male and female flowers and its physical structure. Due
to this structure, it attracts insects to itself and makes extraordinary fertilization. The appearance of the plant and its use in the field of health caused it to be named differently.
The depiction on the frieze block in Smintheion must be related to the healing properties of

The background of this research is the large number of women in village government in Cipayung Village, Padarincang District, Serang Regency, from village heads, village staff, heads of BPD, members of BPD, PKK, and posyandu. Researchers want to see how the policies made by the government of Cipayung Village are gender responsive or not. This study uses gender theory from Sara Longwe which has five indicators to analyze the level of equality and empowerment of women, namely welfare, access, awareness, participation and control. This research also uses qualitative methods and a case study approach in its writing. The results of this study are that Cipayung Village is not gender responsive in its APBDes, there is only a general budget for women, namely the PKK and Posyandu, there are no specific policies for women that can empower women. Even though there are many women who fill positions in village government, this does not mean that Cipayung Village has a special policy for women, this is because there is no initiative from the village head to make special policies for women starting from policies regarding welfare, access, awareness, participation, and control. As well as the absence of encouragement from women in Cipayung Village for the village government to make special policies for women that can empower women. There were deliberations on village development plans specifically for women in Cipayung Village, but women in Cipayung Village more often made suggestions related to physical development such as environmental roads and street lighting.

The most crucial form of human communication is speech signals. Almost all encounters use speech signals in conversations. With a microphone, sounds and different speech signals can be transformed into electrical form. Physical disability can result from a variety of causes, such as age-related issues, health issues, and accident-related injuries. For these challenged individuals who suffer from impairments in their hands and legs, vehicles are used as a means of transportation. It might be challenging for anyone with certain conditions, such as paralysis, to manually push a wheelchair or use a remote assembly. For these individuals, the project is made to work with voice-based commands, enabling the paralyzed or impaired person to offer directions simply by speaking into the provided microphone. Additionally, the device has directional buttons for remote vehicle control. An Atmega328-based circuit interfaced with a voice recognition module builds up the system. The voice recognition module receives user commands and translates them into digital data, which the micro-controller analyzes to obtain directional orders. The transmitter circuit and the receiver circuit make up the whole system. The voice recognition module is part of the transmitter circuit, and the motor and driver assembly are part of the one that receives circuit. For communication, an NRF trans-receiver module is used. The command issued to the vehicle is shown on a 16*2 LCD. Keywords: Bluetooth module, Arduino, wireless night vision camera, robotic arm.

This paper is on recruitment and selection process at PNB MetLife Insurance Company Limited. The process of identifying, screening, shortlisting, and choosing the best applicants to occupy the necessary vacant jobs is known as recruitment and selection. The primary objectives of this research are to determine how candidates are recruited, on what criteria the selection process is based, and what skill set is necessary for a certain position. The aim of this research is to investigate the PNB MetLife's recruitment and selection procedure and to investigate whether the procedure is simple to comprehend and use different methods that are used by the organisation. The study's research design is descriptive. Primary data have been collected for this project. 50 candidates make up the sample size for the questionnaire method used to acquire the data. The data indicates that employee referrals (72%) are the dominant source for internal recruitment, and employment agencies (42%) lead in external recruitment. High satisfaction (88%) with the resume screening process and clear job descriptions (94%) reflect positively on organizational practices, while a strong awareness (94%) of referral schemes supports internal hiring strategies. Such insights offer valuable guidance for refining recruitment approaches and enhancing employee satisfaction, thereby fortifying organizational success. This project makes an effort to offer suggestions for improving recruitment efficiency and lowering hiring costs.

Salah satu metode perkuatan pada elemen struktur seperti balok yang mengalami degradasi kekuatan akibat kebakaran atau korosif pada tulangan adalah dengan penggunaan fiber reinforced concrete (FRP), dalam hal ini digunakan type glass fiber reinforced concrete (GFRP). Dalam riset ini akan membandingkan penelitian terdahulu dimana balok beton bertulang dengan dimensi 150 mm x 200 mm x 3300 mm menggunakan tulangan tarik 3D13 mm dan tulangan geser P8-80/200 mm (BE) dibandingkan dengan balok beton bertulang menggunakan tulangan tarik 3D10 mm dan tulangan geser P8-100/175 mm (BK) serta balok beton bertulang dengan tambahan perkuatan GFRP (BNS). Mutu beton yang digunakan dari hasil pengujian kuat tekan untuk balok eksisting BE yaitu 21.82 MPa sedangkan balok kontrol BK dan BNS menggunakan mutu beton 23.48 MPa, yang berarti mutu dari ketiga variasi balok hampir sama atau mendekati. Hasil uji lentur menunjukkan balok BK memiliki kapasitas ultimate lebih rendah dari balok BE sebesar 19.12%, sedangkan balok BNS mimiliki kuat ultimate lebih besar dari balok BE sebesar 17.28%. Fenomena ini menunjukkan perkuatan dengan GFRP mampu mengembalikan kapasitas beton yang hilang dan lebih baik dari sebelumnya.
Erdem Etiğine Yönelik 'Kişilikten-Yoksunluk' İtirazı ve Bu İtiraza Karşı Bir Savunu
Authors: Dağ Enes
Published: May 2024

Bir erdem etikçisi olan M. Stocker, 20. yüzyılda yeniden canlanan erdem etiğinin rakip ve alternatif bir teori olduğunu göstermek adına, diğer modern ahlak teorilerinin faile eylemde bulunma sebepleri ve gerekçeleri verirken onlara güdüleri ve motive edici unsurları sağlayamadıklarını savunur. Stocker deontoloji ve sonuççuluk gibi bu tarz teorileri, failin doğasını hesaba katmadıkları için “ahlaki şizofreni”yle niteleyerek failin gelişimine ve karakterine vurgu yapan erdem etiğinin bu konudaki özgünlüğünü ortaya koymaya çalışır. Ancak Stocker’in argümanı, erdem etiğinin de aynı eksiklikten mustarip olduğunu ve bunun da “kişilikten-yoksunluk” olarak nitelenebileceğini söyleyen bir grup yorumcunun itirazına maruz kalmıştır. Buna karşılık erdem etiğini savunan ve bu yorumcuları eleştiren karşıt bir kutup daha doğmuştur. Bunun neticesinde erdem etiğinin “kişilikten-yoksun” olup olmadığına yönelik literatürde yer alan önemli bir tartışma devam etmektedir. Bu makale, önce Stocker’in argümanını mercek altına almakta, söz konusu literatürü tanıtmakta ve bu literatürde erdem etiğine saldıran en güçlü iki yorumcu olan T. Hurka ve S. Keller ile erdem etiğini savunan en ünlü iki yorumcu olan J. Annas ve G. Pettigrove’un sırasıyla saldırı ve savunu argümanlarını analiz etmektedir. İkinci olarak bu makale, anılan tartışmanın savunu kutbunda yer almakta, ancak benzer savunuyu yapan yorumcuların argümanlarının zayıf taraflarını saptamaktadır. Aynı tarafta ve fakat farklı bir pozisyonda durma iddiasında olan makale, erdem etiğini söz konusu itiraza karşı savunmak adına Anscombe’un “ahlakta otorite” teorisini yardıma çağırmaktadır. Eğer bu makale Anscombe’un “ahlakta otorite” teorisinin erdem etiğini “kişilikten-yoksunluk” itirazından kurtarabileceğini ortaya koymayı başarabilirse, bu, son tahlilde Anscombe’un erdem etiğine bir başka katkısını göstermek açısından ayrı bir önem arz edecektir. Bunu gösterme çabası makalenin iddiaları arasındadır.
Large Deflection Analysis of Functionally Graded Beam by Using Combining Method

Published: May 2024

In this study, the large deflection behavior of a circular cross-section beam is examined using the Combining Method (CM). The CM is a numerical solution method that uses block diagrams in the Matlab-Simulink program and weighting coefficients in the Differential Quadrature Method (DQM). The beam material considered is Functionally Graded Material (FGM). Boundary conditions of the beam are taken as clamped-free (C-F) and a singular load is assumed to be applied from the free end of the beam. Geometric nonlinear analysis is performed while calculating the large deflection equations of the beam and performing numerical analysis. The effects of increasing the force applied to the beam, changing the beam cross-section in the longitudinal direction, and changing the material index of the FGM on the extreme deflection behavior of the beam were examined. For comparison purposes, the results obtained from CM are compared with the results obtained from both SolidWorks-Simulation and Ansys-Workbench programs. As a result of the analysis, increasing the applied force causes the x and y coordinates of the end point of the beam to decrease. The change in geometry and material index greatly affects the large deflection occurring in the beam.
Effect of Cold Compaction Pressure on Porous NiAl Articles Produced by Using Space Holder Urea via VCS
Authors: Sarıyer Gülizar , Çamurlu Hasan Erdem
Published: May 2024

Porous NiAl samples were obtained by using 20, 40, 60 vol.% space holder urea particles. The urea particle size was in the range of 150-300 µm. Pressures of 50, 100, 200 and 300 MPa were applied by cold press to the mixtures formed by nickel, aluminum, preformed NiAl powders and urea particles. The dimensions, macrostructure, microstructure and compressive strength of the parts produced with different cold compaction pressures were analyzed after volume combustion synthesis (VCS). The aim of the study is to determine the cold compaction pressure which provides the closest dimensional changes after VCS, in samples having different urea amounts. These samples will be used for forming a multi-stack article in a further study. Since a high difference in dimensional change of different layers during VCS will lead to cracking and separation, similar dimensional change is required for different layers in a multi-stack sample design. The samples which were cold pressed with 300 MPa pressure sometimes contained cracks after they were taken out of the die after cold pressing or after VCS. Therefore, they could not be subjected to characterization. The closest dimensional change and higher compressive strength values after VCS were obtained in samples having different urea contents, when they were cold pressed at 200 MPa. The highest mean compressive strength (218.8±29.5 MPa) was attained in the sample which was prepared with 20% urea particles and which was cold compacted with 200 MPa.
