Probabilistic seismic safety assessment of bridges with random pier scouring
Authors: Hosseini Ali Raoof Mehrpour , Razzaghi Mehran S. , Shamskia Nasser
Published: August 2023

Foundation scour has been a reason for several cases of river-bridge earthquake-induced failure during recent decades. However, practising engineers often do not consider its direct effect on the seismic design procedure of such structures. The cavity around a bridge foundation is a random phenomenon depending on several uncertain parameters. This study provides a probabilistic platform to investigate the effect of random scouring on the seismic performance of a particular bridge. The procedure is implemented on an existing multi-span reinforced concrete bridge. To this end, the Monte Carlo simulation technique is utilised to generate samples of the random variables of the scour model to develop the scour hazard curve. A common type of reinforced concrete multi-span bridge is considered as a model. The Latin hypercube sampling method is employed to generate random scouring scenarios in the finite-element model, including uniform and non-uniform scour. Then, fragility curves are developed utilising cloud dynamic analysis. The results reveal that the scouring pattern is one of the most crucial sources of uncertainty. In most circumstances, uniform scour scenarios are more effective than the average of non-uniform cases. However, in some specific patterns, the effect of non-uniform scouring is dominant.
Littérature québécoise mobile: ré-imaginer les pratiques littéraires en culture numérique
Authors: Bertrand Gervais , Audet René , Lacelle Nathalie
Published: August 2023

Résumé Le but de cet article est de présenter le point de départ d’une réflexion sur les théories et les pratiques en culture numérique – autour des enjeux associés à la transition numérique de la littérature québécoise –, notamment à travers des exemples de projets mis en œuvre grâce au partenariat Littérature québécoise mobile (LQM). Ce partenariat a été financé par le Conseil de recherche en sciences humaines du Canada pour une période de 5 ans (2019-2024). Il trouve sa raison d’être dans la volonté commune des chercheuses et chercheurs universitaires, des institutions et des organismes culturels et littéraires impliqués (plus de 25 partenaires), d’explorer et d’accompagner la transformation des pratiques d’écriture et de lecture, d’édition et de diffusion en contexte numérique, sur un plan critique, mais surtout sur un plan pratique, en travaillant avec les intervenants du milieu pour développer des stratégies et des postures adaptées au nouvel environnement et ainsi soutenir la transition numérique de milieux culturels. Le partenariat se déploie en deux volets : un volet littéraire, qui s’ouvre sur deux pôles distincts, le pôle Montréal et le pôle Québec, permettant ensemble de couvrir le plus grand nombre d’activités littéraires et d’intervenants du Québec; et un volet éducation, préoccupé par les formes de la littératie contemporaine et par la transformation des pratiques d’édition, de médiation et de réception en littérature numérique jeunesse.AbstractThe purpose of this article is to present the starting point for a reflection on theories and practices in digital culture—around the issues associated with the digital transition of Quebec literature—, particularly through examples of projects implemented through the Littérature québécoise mobile (LQM) partnership. This partnership was funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada for a period of 5 years (2019-2024). It finds its raison d'être in the common will of university researchers, institutions, as well as cultural and literary organizations (more than 25 partners) to explore and accompany the transformation of writing and reading, publishing and distribution practices in a digital context, on a critical, but above all a practical level, by working with contributors in the field to develop strategies and positions adapted to the new environment and thus support the digital transition of cultural environments. The partnership is divided into two components: a literary component, which opens into two distinct poles, the Montreal and Quebec City poles, which together cover the largest number of literary activities in Quebec; and an educational component, concerned with forms of digital literacy and the transformation of publishing, mediation and reception practices in digital children and youth literature.

Authors: DEMİR İhsan Cemil , BALKI Ali
Published: August 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’nin 2022 yılında sürekli artan fiyatları baskılamak ve piyasaları canlandırmak amacıyla uyguladığı katma değer vergisi indirimlerine yönelik bireylerin algı, tutum ve davranışlarını Türkiye örnekleminde belirlemektir. Bunun için Türkiye genelinde 1.098 kişi ile yüz yüze ve online anket yöntemi kullanılarak veriler toplanmış ve regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, bireylerin katma değer vergisi indirimlerine yönelik algısı genel olarak pozitiftir. Bu durum, piyasanın canlandırılmasına yönelik izlenen katma değer vergisi indirimleri politikasına katkı sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca bireyler, katma değer vergisi indirimlerinin fiyatlara yansımadığını düşünmektedirler. 2022 yılı Ocak-Ekim döneminde tüketici fiyat endeksinin sürekli artması, bireylerde hâkim olan, indirimlerin fiyatlara yansımadığı algısı ile örtüşmektedir. Bu açıdan, katma değer vergisi indirimleri politikasının fiyatları baskılamak ve düşürmek bakımından yeterli olmadığını ifade etmek mümkündür.

Authors: DİRLİK Onur , TOPBAŞ Mehmet Emin , ÖMÜRİŞ Ece
Published: August 2023

In this study, the effect of Leader Member Exchange (LMX) behaviors on organizational commitment and job performance in municipalities is discussed. Since the administrations of the municipalities are elected, the administration is not permanent. In such cases, the effect of leader-member exchange on organizational commitment and job performance is not available to the best of our knowledge. For this purpose, the questionnaires collected from the employees of a municipality were analyzed by quantitative methods. As a result, it has been found that Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) has a positive effect on both organizational performance and job performance, and that organizational commitment mediates the effect of LMX on job performance.

DESIGN OF A TRIPLE-BANDPASS FILTER USING A MODIFIED T-SHAPED RECTANGULAR COUPLED WITH A STEPPED IMPEDANCE RESONATOR FOR SMART PORTABLE COMMUNICATION DEVICE APPLICATIONS
Authors: Arulaalan M. , Viswanathan Ramasamy  , Saravanakumar R. , S. Maheswari
Published: August 2023

This paper presents a ground-breaking triple-bandpass filter design utilizing a modified T-shape rectangular coupled with a stepped impedance resonator (MTSR-CSIR) for smart portable communication device applications. The MTSR-CSIR filter operates at (2.2, 3.62 and 4.6) GHz, providing wide passbands in three operating modes. To achieve the optimal performance, the filter design is executed on a multi-layered liquid-crystal polymer (LCP) substrate with a thickness of 50 µm, dielectric constant of 2.9 and loss tangent of 0.002. Simulation results for the MTSR-CSIR filter demonstrate a high level of accuracy and consistency with the measurement results for the fabricated filter. The filter exhibits an excellent stopband rejection, low loss and compact size while maintaining high-performance levels. Its performance parameters, such as insertion loss, return loss and group delay, are considered to evaluate the filter’s performance. The results highlight the applicability of the MTSR-CSIR filter for smart portable communication devices.

Authors: Ji Hongchao , Wen Yanke , Cui Guofa , Pei Weichi , Xiao Wenchao
Published: August 2023

In order to explore the hot formability of 22MnB5, a hot-tensile test of 22MnB5 high-strength steel plate was carried out using a Gleeble-1500 hot-tensile-testing machine. The stress-strain curves at 850 °C to 950 °C and 0.01 s–1 to 10 s–1 were obtained. The results show that 22MnB5 has an obvious positive-strain-rate sensitivity, and its peak stress decreases with the increase of temperature. The mechanical constitutive equation of 22MnB5 was established by using the improved Johnson-Cook model, and the fitting value was compared with the experimental value. Based on the dynamic material model, the hot-processing map of 22MnB5 was established and analyzed. The hot-processing process was determined as follows: deformation temperature 880 °C to 930 °C, strain rate 0.01 s–1 to 1 s–1.

Recodification of Gestures in Early Arabic Spoken Discourse Intralingually and Interlingually
Authors: Elewa Abdelhamid
Published: August 2023

This paper explores the symbolic values of gestures in early Arab discourse. The Prophet’s traditions are selected for analysis because they are the most canonical Islamic texts after the Qur’an. The paper analyzes the implications of the Prophet’s gestures as his traditions were related orally before they were recorded in scrolls later. Therefore, we can examine how these semiotic gestures are interpreted in the Arabic script as situated in the early oral culture and how they are codified or recodified intralingually, using corpus linguistics techniques. Findings show that the semiotic cues used by early generations should be situated in their original culture and re-codified to later generations for monolingual and cross-lingual communication. This study contributes to the understanding of the role of gestures in early Arabic discourse and provides insights into how they are recodified for different contexts and languages.

Published: August 2023

This study aims to show how patriarchal civilizations physically, emotionally, and socially oppress and enslave women. Sidhwa has shown Pakistani gender-based class system quite effectively in her work. She discusses marginalized and double-colonized Pakistani women as victims of patriarchal culture who confront a variety of national and household challenges, and overcomes patriarchal and cultural constructs in order to be in peace with society and culture. This paper ‘Transcending Patriarchal and Cultural Construct in Bapsi Sidhwa’s The Pakistani Bride’, attempts to show how women in patriarchal cultures and societies suffer many issues in their lives and how they repress their needs, longings, and emotions in order to find a comfortable position in their households as well as in society at large.
The Speech of Social Media Influencers in Najd: Introducing a New Source of Sociolinguistic Data
Authors: Alajmi Nasser M.
Published: August 2023

This study explores using the speech of Najdi social media influencers in Snapchat and TikTok as a source of sociolinguistic production data. Saudis in general, Najdis in particular, post their daily life vlogs on these apps building a huge volume of recorded speech in the local dialects. This type of content has been examined to introduce the possibility of using it as a source of production data alongside/instead of the sociolinguistic interview. The speech of 18 social media influencers, representing three sub-dialects of Najd, has been transcribed and analyzed to test whether it is natural and not mostly formal. The variables have been ranked according to Labov’s (1972) classification of speakers’ awareness: stereotype, marker and indicator. It was found in this study that, similar to data elicited from the interview, social media influencers tend to use their local variants which are classified as markers and/or indicators, and they avoid using stereotypes. In some social settings, the social media influencers were even more spontaneous than they would be in an interview. The study suggests that the speech of social media influencers in Najd is an easily accessible, larger, and better-quality source of sociolinguistic production data.
La huella del plástico.

Published: August 2023

La gran masificación del uso del plástico es actualmente una de las problemáticas medioambientales más preocupantes y ante ello, es necesario meditar y actuar. El presente artículo reflexiona sobre la omnipresencia del plástico y propone desde la educación artística y con alumnado de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad de Granada, una estrategia desde el grabado -la sobre estampación- para interpretar la saturación del material y su constante presencia en el medioambiente y en nuestro cuerpo.  El objetivo principal de la propuesta educativa es analizar las propiedades estéticas del plástico para conferir al material la capacidad de estampar y producir imágenes artísticas relacionadas con esta problemática. Las imágenes obtenidas son analizadas mediante instrumentos desprendidos de las metodologías basadas en artes, que permiten entender el proceso de creación del alumnado desde lo visual y lo sensible, estableciendo un diálogo con otras disciplinas como el video mapping para generar una pieza colaborativa.
La pintura expandida como paradigma y experiencia en la enseñanza superior de las artes
Authors: Ortega Solano Julio César
Published: August 2023

Desde la irrupción de las nuevas tecnologías digitales como fenómeno global y con la aparición de nuevos materiales de síntesis industrial, el campo de la pintura ha venido experimentando un cambio de paradigma en su práctica artística.

Este cambio se centra en el efecto, que ha pasado de la realidad de la naturaleza a la nueva realidad virtual digital. Si entendemos la práctica pictórica desde la realidad de la naturaleza como un simulacro de la realidad, la práctica pictórica desde la realidad virtual digital, ya no simula, sino que presenta una nueva realidad en la pintura.

Es un hecho, que el entorno digital produce cambios notables en las conductas sociales, en consecuencia y como reflejo de la sociedad, estas no pasan desapercibidas dentro de la practica pictórica en la enseñanza superior de la artes.

En este sentido, y como referente, tenemos las obras pictóricas Peter Halley y Fabián Marcaccio, estas obras son un claro ejemplo de unas prácticas pictóricas creadas a partir de esta nueva realidad digital. En el caso de Halley, desde una visión conceptual del fenómeno digital y su influencia social y, en el caso de Marcaccio, a partir de la utilización del software y el hardware digital para la creación pictórica.

Conceptos y métodos en la aplicación práctica de nuevos sistemas para la creación de una pintura referenciada del entorno digital, que nos sitúa ante lo que en la actualidad viene denominando como pintura expandida. Una pintura que en muchos casos se libera de soporte para desarrollarse en sí misma.
The Right to Freedom of Religion and Jurisdictional Conflicts in Malaysia
Authors: Mohamed Adil Mohamed Azam , Wan Naim Wan Mansor Wan Naim , Mohd Amin Azril
Published: August 2023

In Malaysia, the Federal Constitution provides significant legal protections for religious freedom. Article 11 guarantees the right to practice and propagate one's religious beliefs freely, except for restrictions on propagation concerning Muslims under federal law. Furthermore, Islam holds a unique position in the country, according to Article 3 (1). The Malaysian legal system consists of two court systems, the Syariah courts and civil courts. While the Syariah courts serve as an essential institution for Muslims and maintain the Islamic identity of the nation, issues of jurisdiction can arise, particularly in interfaith cases. This study explores Malaysia's Universal Periodic Review of religious freedom and analyses jurisdictional conflicts through interviews with national law experts. After carefully considering Malaysia's unique historical and socioeconomic context, it is concluded that upholding the Federal Constitution is of utmost importance and implementing UPR recommendations should be separate from it.
Dwelling into the Role of Ahamkara in Academic Performance: A Qualitative Inquiry
Authors: Tayal Namita , Sharma NovRattan
Published: August 2023

A student's academic performance is conditioned on factors within the pupil or outside, in the environment. The Western body of knowledge emphasizes the positive role of ‘Self’ and related variables such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, self-confidence, and others on the academic performance of students. An Indian counterpart to the concept of self is ‘Aham’. The present study aimed at qualitatively understanding the role of Ahamkara in the academic performance of school students. For this purpose, a semi-structured interview technique was utilised for data collection. A total of 11 interviews were recorded and transcribed. Thematic Network analysis framework forwarded by Attride-Sterling (2001) was utilized for data analysis. Based on the analysis 4 global themes emerged. They are: Formation and maintenance of a sense of self through Identification; Active engagement of Self in the learning process leads to growth; Ignorance of Self, a path to failure; and Failure an opportunity to maintain the optimal sense of self.
Systemic Model of Educational Teacher Knowledge: Teacher Collaboration as the Main Key
Authors: Verástegui Macarena Verástegui Martínez , Ayuso Jesús Manso , Úbeda Gómez Jorge
Published: August 2023

Models for understanding teacher knowledge do not consider the possibility of teachers themselves generating it. The model of Verástegui y Úbeda (2022) has developed in response to the need to overcome this limitation, which it does by including teacher agency as a key element for understanding teacher knowledge. The aim of this research is to define the degree of operationalisation of the Systemic Model of Educational Teacher Knowledge, using a qualitative methodology comprising discourse analysis of a semi-structured interview and focus groups with a total of 25 teachers. The main findings show that the model is comprehensible to teachers, it partially approximates their experience, and it incorporates new elements for understanding the nature of the concept. Consequently, this research makes it possible to overcome some dichotomies in the conceptualization of educational teacher knowledge and incorporate collaborative dynamics into its comprehension and generation. Finally, updates to the model are suggested, highlighting the inclusion of three elements of pedagogical content knowledge – personal, enacted, and collective – and new research lines are proposed to validate its capacity for researching the object of study.

The error detection features by modified Hamming codes — codes with odd column weights, or Hsiao codes — are analyzed. The error detection properties of Hsiao codes are considered separately for data symbols, as well as for all code word symbols. It is shown that Hsiao codes detect any errors with odd multiplicities and errors with multiplicities d < 4. The Hsiao codes error detection performance is compared with the error detection performance by classic Hamming codes. The experiments results showing the Hsiao codes high efficiency in organizing the calculation testing at the automation device outputs are given. Hsiao codes can be very effectively used in solving problems of automation devices synthesis with the malfunctions and errors detection in calculations, including the devices synthesis with controllable structures and with concurrent calculation testing circuits.

Published: August 2023

Trauma is like light: it is energy that can be felt but not seen. Stemming from experiences as early as childhood, it can manifest into unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns in individuals, which are often passed down to the next generation unintentionally. The purpose of this qualitative study is to uncover previously unexplored trauma-informed areas in professional practices from 2021-2023 with a focus on "healing" to further break down the stigma of this topic within minority & immigrant communities. Using multiple design research methods with a participatory focus and weaving in insights gained from autoethnography, the research looks at trauma & healing at different scales to explore resources that can be created to help on a personal, community, and national level. This paper hopes to serve as a resource for those trying to understand how they can help themselves, and for professionals in the trauma-informed field to expand the boundaries of the industry.

Published: August 2023

El regreso de las madres al trabajo o al estudio es una barrera para la continuidad y duración de la lactancia en ausencia de políticas y estrategias para fomentarla. La disponibilidad de salas amigas de la lactancia materna aporta a su protección al disponer de un espacio para la extracción y conservación de la leche materna. Se realizó una revisión narrativa con el objetivo de resaltar la importancia de las salas amigas de la lactancia materna en instituciones educativas. Se consultaron artículos en las bases de datos Biblioteca Virtual de Salud, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, JAMA Network, Open gray, Ovid Nursing, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus y Springer Link entre junio y agosto de 2020. Se usaron las herramientas CASPe y STROBE para la selección de doce estudios. Se incluyeron artículos de investigación sobre el tema en el contexto de instituciones educativas, publicados entre 2015 y 2020, disponibles en texto completo en inglés y español. Se encontró que, en ausencia de salas de lactancia en las instituciones educativas, las mujeres deben utilizar lugares inapropiados para la extracción y conservación de la leche, lo cual afecta la experiencia y la duración de la lactancia. Criterios como disponibilidad, accesibilidad física y de información, dotación y privacidad de las salas, son aspectos de gran relevancia. Las salas amigas de la lactancia materna en instituciones educativas aportan a promover y proteger esta práctica, favoreciendo que las mujeres puedan combinar su rol de madres y estudiantes o trabajadoras, sin verse obligadas a suspenderla tempranamente.
"My Mother is My Homeland": Subversive Representations of the Black Puerto Rican Matriarch in Mayra Santos-Febres’ Our Lady of the Night/ Nuestra Señora de la noche (2006) and Amina Gautier's Now We Will Be Happy (2014)
Authors: McCauley Jennifer Maritza
Published: August 2023

In this scholarly essay, I explore how Mayra Santos-Febres and Amina Gautier create subversive representations of Black Puerto Rican women in their texts, and how both writers expand the representation of the Black matriarch and nationhood. I also argue that both writers evoke problematic Black motherhood tropes to dismantle them. Mayra Santos Febres fictionalizes Isabel Luberza or "Isabel La Negra" to create a new, complicated mother of Puerto Rico who eschews stereotypes and has agency and self-possession. Santos-Febres thus reclaims the stories of obscured Black Caribbean women like Isabel La Negra as her own and creates new national narratives. Gautier uses absent Black American mothers married to Puerto Rican men to show the necessity of Black women in American and Caribbean spaces. Gautier explores the ramifications of the loss of the Black mother on the Puerto Rican family, and the myth of a true Puerto Rican motherland. I also argue that writing about the erasure of Black women as a Black woman is a kind of subversive act itself, as the Black woman's narrative stands in as a societal mirror. Both writers show how these complex "fictional mothers" can serve as "fictive kin" to Black women searching for radical sites of home.
Clinical and Laboratory Parameters and Complication Rates In Patients With Myocardial Infarction Without Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease
Authors: Suspitsyna I. N. , Sukmanova I. A. , Safonova E. A.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To evaluate clinical, anamnestic and laboratory data and the incidence rate of complications in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) without obstructive coronary artery (CA) disease.

Material and methods. This study included 158 patients with MI without obstructive CA disease (main group), 150 patients with MI and obstructive CA disease (comparison group), and 55 patients without documented ischemic heart disease (IHD) (control group). Clinical and anamnestic data, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, concentrations of high-sensitivity troponin and C-reactive protein (CRP) were evaluated, and electrocardiography, Holter electrocardiogram monitoring, echocardiography, and coronary angiography were performed for all patients.

Results. The incidence rate of MI without obstructive CA disease was 1.9%, which was in general consistent with international data. Patients with MI without obstructive CA disease were somewhat younger than patients of the comparison group. Traditional risk factors, such as arterial hypertension (AH), acute cerebrovascular disease, diabetes mellitus (DM), and obesity were more frequently observed in patients with MI and obstructive CA disease, but the body weight index was significantly higher in MI patients without obstructive CA disease. The multivariate regression analysis identified the most significant factors associated with the development of MI in the group without obstructive CA disease: lipid metabolism disorders, AH, DM, male gender, smoking, and family history of IHD. Patients with MI without obstructive CA disease had a lower troponin level but a higher CRP level. Patients with MI without obstructive CA disease had a higher left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF); acute heart failure (AHF), acute LV aneurism, and arrhythmias were the most frequent complication in this group.

Conclusion. Patients with MI without obstructive CA disease had a higher LV EF, and their most frequent complications were AHF, acute LV aneurism, and arrhythmias.
The role of epicardial obesity in the development of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction
Authors: Gritsenko O. V. , Chumakova G. A. , Trubina E. V.
Published: August 2023

Aim. To study the effect of epicardial adipose tissue on risk of left ventricular (LV) diastolic dysfunction (DD) in patients with visceral obesity.

Material and methods. Obesity leads to the development of LV DD and is a major cause of heart failure with preserved LV ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the contribution of epicardial adipose tissue to DD is understudied. This study included 101 men with general obesity (body weight index, 32.9±3.6 kg /m2). Based on severity of epicardial obesity (EO), two groups were formed: group 1, patients with an epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EATt) >7 mm (n=70), and group 2, patients with EATt <7 mm (n=31). Arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, coronary atherosclerosis, and disorders of LV diastolic function according to echocardiography (EchoCG) were the exclusion criteria. Diastolic function and LV mechanics were evaluated by speckle-tracking EchoCG for all patients at the start of the study and again at 4.7±0.3 years.

Results. At baseline, none of the patients of either group had significant differences in EchoCG characteristics of LV diastolic function (left atrial volume index, LV early diastolic longitudinal lengthening velocity, peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity, and the ratio of diastolic transmitral flow velocity to mean mitral annular velocity (E / e′). However, there were significant increases in the LV untwisting velocity to –122.11 [–142.0; –116.0 degrees /s –1] degrees/s and the time to LV peak untwisting velocity to 472.3 ms. Repeated EchoCG showed an increase in left atrial volume index in group 1 to 35.04 [33.0; 39.7] ml /m2. Repeated evaluation of the LV mechanics revealed increases in the times to LV peak untwisting and twisting and decreases in the LV twisting and untwisting velocities. The logistic regression analysis showed that EATt was a risk factor for LV DD in obesity. Furthermore, the ROC analysis determined the optimal EATt cut-off threshold of ≥9 mm as a predictor for LV DD development.

Conclusion. EO facilitates the development of LV DD and, thus, represents a major cause for HFpEF. An EATt value of ≥9 mm can be considered as a risk factor for LV DD development in patients with EO.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to determine the effect levels on organizational agility abilities as a result of the implementation of Industry 4.0. Organizational agility was examined in terms of four basic criteria: responsiveness, flexibility, quickness and competence in this study. In addition, twelve sub-criteria have been defined in relation to the basic criteria. In order to determine the sub-criteria, the related studies were first examined conceptually and then expert opinions were used. These experts consist of five engineers working in textile companies for the ready-made clothing group. In the study, FUCOM was used to determine the effect levels of the criteria. In the results of study, it is thought that Industry 4.0 has the most impact on quickness, followed competence, flexibility and responsiveness among the organizational agility. When all the criteria are evaluated, the three agility capabilities that the Industry 4.0 process has the most impact on businesses are identified as “short operation time”, “operational efficiency”, “product quality”.

Published: August 2023

This study examines the performances of insider and outsider CEOs (Chief Executive Officer) based on the top 100 companies in 2021 issue of the Brand Finance Turkey report. Each company has executive managers who plan and manage strategies to advance within the scope of the relevant mission and vision. The influence of managers, known as CEO or General Manager, is of great importance to the company. The article examined CEOs, financial statements and share values of the top companies traded in Istanbul Stock Exchange between the years 2010-2019. Assuming that all other conditions are equal, the impact of relevant CEOs appointed from inside or outside the firm, on the company's success had been studied. ROA (Return on Assets), ROE (Return on Equity) calculations and the change in the Borsa Istanbul share prices of each company in terms of each CEO change for the related years have been analyzed. In addition, the number of CEOs along with their tenure were also calculated. t-Test was used on the data. In conclusion CEO’s internal and external appointment had little to no impact on the company's success and share value.
KARBONDİOKSİT EMİSYONU (CO2) İLE İHRACAT, ENERJİ, DOĞRUDAN YABANCI YATIRIMLAR VE EKONOMİK BÜYÜME ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: ÖZEKENCİ Emre Kadir
Published: August 2023

Ticaretin serbestleşmesi ve sanayileşmenin hızla artması gelişen piyasa ekonomilerindeki ülkelerin karbondioksit (CO2) emisyonunu ve küresel ısınmadaki payını arttırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, gelişen piyasa ekonomisinde yer alan Türkiye’nin ihracatı, enerji tüketimi, doğrudan yabancı yatırımları ve ekonomik büyümesinin karbondioksit emisyonu üzerinde bir etkisinin olup olmadığının araştırılmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, 1990-2015 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımı ile kısa dönemdeki etkiyi tespit etmek amacıyla Vektör hata düzeltme modeli (VECM) kullanılmıştır. Yapılan ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımı sonuçlarına göre, CO2 emisyonu ile doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve enerji tüketimi arasında uzun dönemli istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve pozitif bir ilişki tespit edilirken, ihracat ve ekonomik büyüme arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamsız ve negatif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlardaki %1’lik artış CO2 emisyonu %9; enerji tüketimindeki %1 artış ise CO2 emisyonunu %76 artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sınırlılığı, enerji tüketim verilerinin 2015 yılına kadar hesaplanmış olması ve serinin devamının olmaması olarak ifade edilebilir.
Analysis of heat transfer and flow over a rotating cylinder at subcritical Reynolds numbers based on Taguchi method
Authors: BARATI Ebrahim , ZARKAK Mehdi Rafati , JALALI Shohreh
Published: August 2023

The flow past the rotating circular cylinder and the effect of buoyancy on heat transfer char-acteristics are studied numerically for the Reynolds number of 20 and 40 and the Prandtl number of 0.7. The lift and drag coefficients, Strouhal number, and local Nusselt number on the cylinder are studied under the sway of combined buoyancy (at the Richardson num-ber varies from 0 to 2) and different rotational directions. Although the interaction between buoyancy and rotation is a puzzling heat transfer problem, the direction of rotation is found to have significant effects on the flow patterns and heat transfer rate. The main innovation of the present work is to determine the extreme points of Nusselt numbers when different conditions are applied. For a positive rotation, the maximum local Nusselt number is at θ=225o, and the minimum local Nusselt number is at θ=100o. In contrast, for a negative rotation, the maxi-mum and minimum local Nusselt numbers are at θ=140o and θ=270o, respectively. Applying Taguchi method, it is found that average Nusselt number is more dependent on Reynolds number than other factors. Additionally, it can be concluded that the direction of rotation can be used as a powerful tool to adjust the heat transfer rate and the required value of drag and lift. Consequently, without applying different rotation speeds, it would be difficult to stabilize the flow, and with the aid of Taguchi method, it is determined that rotation is deciding factor in stabilizing flow patterns. The results are in good agreement with the experimental results.
