Authors: Erdem Fevziye , Arslanoğlu Murat
Published: January 2024

Araç bağlantı noktalarında kullanılan ön veya arka süspansiyon parçası olan rotilli kol ve sac salıncaklar burçlarının malzeme davranışının karmaşık olması nedeniyle, kauçuk parçalar çalışanların deneyimlerine ve deneysel çalışmalarına göre tasarım aşamasında değişkenlik göstermektedir. Araçlarda kullanılan ön ve arka süspansiyon parçası olan burçlar emniyet görevini üstlenmektedir. Burçlar tiplerine göre standart, boşaltmalı, dış borusu olmayan, flanşlı, küresel ve hidrolik burç olarak yediye ayrılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada hidrolik burçlar referans alınmıştır. Hidrolik burçlarda prototip ürünü üretmek için gerekli tasarım, imalat zamanı ve malzeme kayıpları düşünüldüğünde daha sistematik yöntemlere ihtiyaç duyulmuştur. Hidrolik burçların standart burçlara göre en önemli farkı tekrarlı yüklerde performansını devam ettirebilmesi ve sürücüye titreşimleri olabildiğince geç hissettirmesidir. Hidrolik burçlar, standart burçlarda kauçuğun tek başına yüksek sönüm özelliği gösteremediği durumlarda hidrolik sıvının akışkan özelliğinden yararlanarak odacıklara arasında dolaşması ile titreşim sorunu minimize edilmektedir. Bu nedenle hidrolik burçlar genellikle üst segment araçlarda en düşük frekansları sönümlemek için tercih edilmektedir. Hidrolik burçlar, standart burçlarda kauçuğun tek başına yüksek sönüm özelliği gösteremediği durumlarda hidrolik sıvının akışkan özelliğinden yararlanarak odacıklara arasında dolaşması ile titreşim sorunu minimize edilmektedir. Tasarımı incelendiğinde hidrolik burçlar hem geometrik yapıları hem de kauçuk reçetesi test sonuçlarını etkilemektedir. Çalışma prensiplerinde eylemsizlik yolu içinde hidrolik yağ dolaşmaktadır. Bu eylemsizlik yolu sönümleme işlemi yapmaktadır. Yağın dolaşmış olduğu yol iki ana duvar oluşmaktadır ve iki ana duvar arasındaki yağı birbirine iletmesi gerekmektedir. Ana duvar statik stiffness’ı (konfor) sağlayabilecek şekilde tasarlanmalıdır. Yan yüzeylerde kalan kauçuk ise sızdırmazlık görevini üstlenmektedir. Yan duvarların statik stiffness’a etkisi vardır ancak asıl görevi hidrolik yağın tutulması için hazne oluşturmaktır. Bu çalışma kapsamında hidrolik burçların hesaplamasında kullanılacak ampirik formül geliştirilmiştir. Kullanılan yağın yoğunluğu, dinamik stiffness değeri, kayıp açı ve ürünün tasarımından elde edilen veriler formülü etkilemektedir. Yapılan hesaplamalar sonucunda dinamik stiffness ve kayıp açı grafiği elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen grafik verilerinin birbiriyle uyumlu olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Oluşturulan hidrolik burç tasarım hesaplama yöntemi yeni geliştirilecek olan hidrolik burç tasarımlarına ışık olacaktır.

Taşıtlarda sürüş konforunun ve güvenliğinin sağlanması için ön düzen ve süspansiyon bileşenlerinin belirli bir uyum içinde çalışması gerekmektedir. Bileşenlerin kusursuz çalışabilmesi için bir çok farklı tipte küresel mafsal kullanılmaktadır. Bu mafsallardan birtanesi de rotillerdir. Rotiller temel olarak üç ana parçadan oluşmaktadır. Bu üç ana parçadan biri yataklama görevi yapan POM (polioksimetilen) malzemeden imal edilmiş yatak parçasıdır. Yataklar bilyalı pim ve gövde arasındaki sürtünme katsayısını azaltarak parçaların daha sessiz çalışmalarını ve salınım hareketlerini daha kolay gerçekleştirmelerini sağlarlar. Yataklar boşluksuz olarak ve bazı durumlarda belirli sıkılık oranında birleştirilerek ilgili sisteme montajları yapılır.Bu sıkılık durumu fazla ya da az oluğu durumlarda ise yüksek moment değerlerine veya eksenel boşluklara sebebiyet vererek taşıt konforunu olumsuz etkiler. Eksenel boşluk yataklarda meydana gelen elastik ve plastik defarmosyonlar sonucu bilyalı pim ile yatak arasındaki mesafe olarak tanımlanır. Eksenel boşluk oluşumu sıkılık durumu fazla ya da az oluğu durumlarda gerçekleşeceği gibi yatak geometrilerinden kaynaklı ölçülerdende gerçekleşebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada 5000 N'luk tam değişken eksenel çeki-bası yükü altında yatak geometrisinde yer alan 3 farklı cidar kalınlıklarına sahip yatak kullanılmıştır. Yatak parçasının geometrik özellikleri değiştirilirken, yatak iç cidarı sabit tutulup dış yüzeyden ölçü değişimi yapılmıştır. Gövde parçası için yatak ile gövdenin birleştiği alanı yatak dış cidarında meydana gelen değişim kadar ofset yapılmıştır ve sıvama kapağı ile rotil geometrik özellikleri sabit tutulmuştur. Çalışmada sonlu elemanlar metodu kullanılmıştır. Yatağa 5000 N yük altında 11 tekrarlı çeki-bası yükü uygulanarak eksenel boşluk testi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde yatak cidar kalınlığındaki değişimin eksenel boşluğu etkilediği görülmüştür.
Snow Blower Application at Backhoe Loaders
Authors: Öz Fatma
Published: January 2024

During heavy snowfalls in winter, clearing large piles of snow on the roads is a very laborious process. It is necessary to take quick action to make the closed roads usable and not to stop the flow of life. Snow blowers are needed when equipment such as snow knives are not sufficient. However, since these types of machines are specially produced abroad, their costs are high. The Türkiye General Directorate of Highways and Hidromek Company have carried out a series of studies in order to popularize the use of snow blower. It is foreseen that if snow blower adaptation can be provided to backhoe loader construction machines that are widely used all over the world and especially in Türkiye, access to this equipment will be easier. Thus, technological dependence on foreign sources will also be reduced. As a result of the studies, the design of a snow blower with a capacity of 2000 tons/hour and its adaptation to the backhoe loader machine were achieved. Due to the need for such a high snow spraying capacity, radical changes were made in the main lines of the machine. Placing a power unit instead of the excavator part of the machine and placing a snow rotary attachment on the front arm was deemed the most appropriate solution.

Authors: Kaya Baran , Büyük Cihan , Öztürk Miraç
Published: January 2024

The exhaust manifold is one of the engine parts in internal combustion engines that operates under the influence of high temperatures. To prevent issues arising from the expansion movement due to high temperature effects, the exhaust manifold of a 6-cylinder commercial diesel engine has been designed in three parts. Sealing rings that can withstand high temperatures are used in the three-part exhaust manifold to prevent gas leaks. For the exhaust manifold, 1-dimensional, thermal, flow, and structural analyses have been performed. Initially, based on the structural analysis of the exhaust manifold conducted without sealing rings, sealing ring selection was made according to the deformation values of the exhaust manifold. In the structural analysis, the PEEQ (equivalent plastic strain) method, which is utilized to determine the thermomechanical fatigue crack initiation area, is employed. In this study, an approach using this method was undertaken, and the crack initiation area was examined.

The signification of autism as narrative prosthesis forms the focus of this paper as it analyses and explores how the condition of autism has been re-presented in popular autism fiction. The study looks at the term ‘popular fiction’ as indicative of works that have had a wide readership, works that have evolved as best sellers and predominantly works that have been shelved as ‘popular fiction’. Mark Haddon’s The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (2003), Jodi Picoult’s House Rules (2010) and Steig Larsson’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2008) are the works under consideration here.
Breaking the Silence: A Critical Analysis of Dalit Women's Worldview in Urmila Pawar's Motherwit
Authors: Kamna Singh
Published: January 2024

The Dalit group is among the most oppressed under the contentious but widely accepted social structure known as caste, but some Dalit women have experienced even worse subjugation. The perspective of oppressed Dalit women is examined in this essay. Not Dalit women in isolation, but rather Dalit women collectively. In doing so, Motherwit, a collection of short stories by Urmila Pawar, is the main subject of this essay. It aims to initiate a conversation about the worldview of Dalit women, which is situated at the nexus of gender, caste, and class. It also aims to address the worldview that has largely gone unchallenged in both the well-known Dalit and feminist discourses in India. The article has been divided into three sections. The first section provides a brief biography of Urmila Pawar and then discusses the rise of Dalit women writers, focusing on her collection of short stories Motherwit. The second section discusses the text's themes, offers a commentary on how it uses language, and ends with a statement on Dalit feminism. Women from various castes and social classes may identify with Pawar's feminism since it is not exclusive to any one lady.

A field experiment was conducted under irrigated condition to study the effect of planting geometry and intercropping on growth characters, leaf yield and quality in newly evolved, triploid, high yielding, recommended and popular S 1635 mulberry (Morus alba L.) along with intercrop yield and additional net profit. The plants were established through saplings in seven different spacing with variable number of plants / ha and were maintained through recommended package of practices for irrigated garden. Four different suitable intercrops, one in each season and one green manure crop in July September were taken up annually in mulberry for judicious utilization of space, time, nutrients and also for soil enrichment.
      Significant differences were observed among the treatments in all the parameters studied. Growth attributes and leaf quality were improved along with soil nutrient status in paired row system, particularly in (90cm + 120cm) × 60cm spacing. Besides, it registered almost similar leaf yield (29 488.98kg/ha/year) compared to 60cm × 60cm spacing (control) in spite of 42.9% less plant population (15 873/ha) over control (27 777/ha), higher leaf yield / plant (0.37kg) and optimum intercrop yield as well as additional net profit of r35 368/ha/year (r5974.00 more over control).
      Hence, this paired row spacing [(90cm + 120cm) × 60cm] may be useful and recommended to the farmers for mass practice in the cultivation of S 1635 mulberry with four intercrops and one green manure crop / year at least up to three years which did not adversely affect mulberry under irrigated condition. In addition, there is also a scope for partial mechanization which enables to reduce manpower requirement as well as economy in cultivation.

Moroccan TV Advertising in 2023: Towards a Gender- Transformative Agenda
Authors: CHAHBANE Sarra , ALAOUI Sadik MADANI , CHAHBANE Kaoutar
Published: January 2024

This study examines the contemporary landscape of Moroccan TV advertising in 2023, specifically focusing on its evolutionary trajectory towards the adoption of a gender-transformative agenda. Against the backdrop of heightened societal consciousness regarding gender equality and the imperative of inclusive representation across various domains, including the realm of advertising, this article delves into the concerted efforts undertaken by the Moroccan advertising industry to challenge entrenched gender norms and cultivate a more transformative paradigm. Traditionally, advertising has been culpable of reinforcing and perpetuating gender stereotypes, constraining men and women within narrowly defined roles. However, catalyzed by social movements advocating for equality and inclusivity, advertisers find themselves compelled to reevaluate their approaches, embracing a more encompassing and diverse framework. Given this, this paper employs qualitative content analysis to scrutinize a curated corpus of five Moroccan advertisements, investigating how they challenge prevailing gender portrayals and deviate from perpetuating stereotypical representations. The analysis of the findings reveals the extent to which the selected advertisements actively engage in the transformative representation of gender by challenging rather than nurturing gender stereotypes. It unveils the way the selected advertisements demonstrate a deliberate departure from the stereotypical depiction of women in domestic roles or as passive objects, to portraying them in diverse and empowered positions. Similarly, men are depicted beyond conventional masculine stereotypes, showcasing a broader spectrum of roles and expectations. Accordingly, this study not only provides insights into the current state of Moroccan advertising with regard to gender transformative practices but also contributes to the broader discourse surrounding the role of advertising in promoting gender equality and in

Authors: Duarte Samuel Correa
Published: January 2024

O presente texto versa sobre a constituição da educação do campo como área especializada e as políticas educacionais direcionadas para essa temática. Nosso ponto de partida é a constatação da exclusão sistemática da população rural das políticas sociais, em especial a educação. Procuramos apresentar em nossa exposição a trajetória de luta pela educação do campo e os princípios que movem sua prática na articulação entre escola e comunidade com vistas a promoção da emancipação dos educandos. Do ponto de vista metodológico foi empreendida abordagem qualitativa, construída através de pesquisa bibliográfica. A questão que orientou a pesquisa pode ser assim expressa: quais as condições para a efetivação de uma educação do campo adequada para a realidade social da comunidade escolar? Argumentamos que a formação de professores, currículo, calendário escolar, transporte e infraestrutura são aspectos de primeira ordem para se pensar uma educação que supere o modelo educacional centrado no paradigma urbano e permita aos educandos do campo acessar saberes e competências condizentes com sua realidade social.

This disease represents an escalating social issue, particularly in a society with an increasing elderly population. In 2019, 271,998 people succumbed to dementia, making Alzheimer's disease the sixth most prevalent cause of death. The pathophysiology of Alzheimer's disease is complex and not fully understood. It is a multifaceted disease, with its pathogenesis influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. One of the genes involved in the pathogenesis of the disease is the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene, which is one of the most common risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. The significance of other genes, including presenilin genes (PSEN1 and PSEN2), the TREM2 gene, the MAPT gene, and the APP gene, linked to various forms of dementia, is also emphasized. Another issue is the growing number of identified genetic variants within genes implicated in the onset of dementia. Dementia diseases are also characterized by chemical alterations in the brain, including the accumulation of abnormal excitotoxic proteins, varying degrees of inflammation, and metabolic disorders. This review summarizes current research in the field of dementia and highlights the significance of molecular factors in its pathogenesis. Gaining insight into the pathogenic mechanisms of dementia may allow for faster diagnosis of the disease and facilitate the creation of more efficient patient care plans.

Authors:   Korea Integrated Resort Forum, Jeon Hee-Sun
Published: January 2024

Purpose: In this study, we analyzed how customer misbehavior affects employees' emotional dissonance and deviant behavior in complex resorts.
Method: A survey was conducted on the employees of the resort complex, and an empirical analysis was conducted on 300 questionnaires using the SPSS 22.0 program.
Results: In poor customer behavior, rude behavior, neglect attitude, and sexual harassment were found to have a significant positive (+) effect on emotional dissonance, and emotional dissonance was analyzed to have a positive (+) effect on deviant behavior toward organizations and deviant behavior toward people.
Conclusion: In order to reduce the emotional dissonance and deviant behavior of the employees from the bad behavior of the customers, it was confirmed that more active and concrete action plan and corporate and social support were needed.
Interdisciplinary Research Implications: This study is a study of complex resort companies in the tourism industry, and if interdisciplinary research on customer bad behavior in the leisure field is conducted in connection with the aspect of physical education in the future, it is expected to spread to applied research.

Authors:   Korea Integrated Resort Forum, Kim Sun-June
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of hotel and restaurant employees' congestion perception on job engagement and customer orientation.
Method: Simple regression analysis, multiple regression analysis, and correlation analysis were conducted to analyze the relationship between the validity and reliability of each variable.
Results: In this study, it was found that among hotel and restaurant employees' congestion perception, human congestion perception increases job engagement and can increase customer orientation accordingly, but spatial congestion perception decreases employees' job engagement and consequently can have a negative effect on customer orientation.
Conclusion: The significance of this study can be found in that it confirmed the effect of crowded service space on hotel and restaurant employees while emphasizing the importance of service space for efficient service provision of employees in service companies.
Interdisciplinary Research Implications: This study is targeted at hotels and restaurants located in Seoul among the tourism industry, and it is considered that it can be spread to applied research if interdisciplinary research on congestion perception in the leisure sector is carried out in connection with the aspect of physical education in the future.
Influence of by-products under different methods of soil cultivation on the yield of winter rape in the Western Forest-Steppe

Published: January 2024

The absence of a clear position on the application of a particular method of basic tillage and the use of post-harvest residues in crop rotation draws attention to the minimisation of tillage. Therefore, the need to substantiate and develop efficient energy-saving tillage technologies and the use of by-products in crop rotation is quite important and remains relevant. The aim of the research is to study the impact of by-products and soil cultivation, which will create optimal conditions for the development of winter rape in the Western Forest-Steppe of Ukraine. The research was carried out during 3 rotations of 4 crop rotation in a stationary field experiment of the Institute of Agriculture of Western Polissya of the National Academy of Agrarian Sciences in 2009-2020. Against the background of soil cultivation, including ploughing, disc cultivation to a depth of 10-12 and 6-8 cm, two methods of using crop residues of crop rotation were studied - diversion and use as fertiliser with the addition of compensatory nitrogen in the amount of N10 per 1 tonne. The results showed that when growing winter rape with the removal of the predecessor straw from the field during ploughing to a depth of 20-22 cm and disc cultivation to a depth of 10-12 and 6-8 cm, the soil density at a depth of 0-10 cm was 1.22-1.28, 1.23-1.28 and 1.23-1.35 g/cm³, respectively, and at a depth of 10-20 cm – 1.26-1.30, 1.30-1.35 and 1.32-1.36 g/cm³. The use of straw as an organic fertiliser led to a decrease in the bulk mass of all the studied soil layers under any method of treatment, but at the same time contributed to an increase in the number of weeds, which increased with a decrease in the depth of treatment. On average, over the three years of crop rotation, the seed yields for ploughing by 20-22 cm, disking by 10-12 cm and disking by 6-8 cm against the background of straw alienation were 2.91, 2.83 and 2.59 t/ha, respectively, and for incorporating it into the soil – 3.04, 2.88 and 2.72 t/ha. As noted in the studies, tillage and fertilisation using non-commodity crop residues increase the soil protection effect, significantly reduce the negative impact of weeds in crops, improve soil fertility and increase the productivity of crops in the rotation
Investment preference characteristics of MZ generation foreigners residing in Korea
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Industry Society, Kim Seone , Cho Yong Duk
Published: January 2024

This study aims to examine the investment preference characteristics of MZ generation foreigners in Korea through empirical analysis. The survey period was conducted online and offline for about 60 days from March 01, 2022 to April 30, 2022. For the analysis of the collected data, descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were performed using the SPSS 23.0, and the results are as follows. First they preferred residential and Seoul areas the most when investing in Korean real estate. Second, they tended to invest in real estate in the area where they lived.Second, they highly tended to invest in the area where they live. Third, it was found that the longer they lived in Korea, the more they acquired residential real estate beyond the restrictions, such as understanding the language and systems in Korea. Fourth, they will become active market participants in real estate investment in Korea once they have extra funds for investment. It is hoped that the results of this study will be used as basic data for the efficient development of foreign-related industries by the government and local governments as well as the preparation of balanced policies for Koreans and foreigners in line with the changes of the times.

Published: January 2024

This fundamental and very important for our country economic topic is the subject of the monograph by Assoc. Prof. Dimitar Zlatinov1 from the Department of Economics of the Faculty of Economics of Sofia University "St. Kliment Ohridski and the International Economics Section of the Institute of Economic Studies at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. The aim of the author is "to trace the channels of macroeconomic impact of fiscal and monetary policy in Bulgaria in the short and long term, taking into account the stages of cyclical development of the country in the post-2000 period" (pp. 7-8). The main scientific thesis that is defended is that despite the fiscal rules imposed by EU membership and the Monetary Council in place since 1997, the country "has pursued a discretionary and countercyclical fiscal policy. However, it is characterised by low effectiveness and efficiency and cannot have a real impact on accelerating catching-up economic development" (p. 8). The chosen research method is modelling macroeconomic dependencies and effects of fiscal and monetary policy on actual and potential GDP.
