Insurgent Intimacies
Authors: Schields Chelsea
Published: February 2020

This article examines the intertwined arguments for sexual revolution and decolonization in the Dutch Atlantic in the 1960s and 1970s. In this period, Antillean activists in the Netherlands and the Netherlands Antilles celebrated aspects of the Cuban Revolution and the US Black Power movement for their purported ability to regenerate romantic love. Activists contended that socialism and antiracist activism could forge new bonds of erotic equality to explode the ongoing effects of colonialism, slavery, and the regimes of sexual violence that maintained both. Considering the centrality of sexual politics to Antillean radical imaginaries, this article argues that Antilleans viewed sexual liberation as a primary rather than ancillary component of self-determination. Illuminating the Atlantic currents that informed Antillean arguments for insurgent forms of intimacy—from revolutionary Cuba to black struggle in the United States—this article reconceives of both the substance and geography of the sexual revolution.
“Chilean! Is This How You Want to See Your Daughter?”
Authors: Casals Marcelo
Published: February 2020

This article studies the impact that the Cuban Revolution had on conservative political actors in Chile during the 1964 presidential campaign. At that time, Cuba served as a dystopian example for anticommunist forces through the direct identification between the Cuban experience and the Chilean Left. They utilized a “language of family” to give meaning to their rejection of any possible establishment of socialism in Chile. In this sense, an eventual electoral victory of the Marxist Left was seen as an attack—as in Cuba—on the stability of the family, traditional gender roles, and even parental control of their daughters’ sexuality. These representations were widely distributed through an anticommunist propaganda campaign known as the “campaign of terror,” which forged transnational networks among local actors, the CIA, and conservative Brazilian women. This triple articulation of anticommunism, Cuba, and gender became a potent discourse in the Chilean electoral campaign.
Rewriting Gender in the New Revolutionary Song
Authors: Chomsky Aviva
Published: February 2020

This essay examines the meanings of gender in the music of Cuba’s Nueva Trova, an important expression of what came to be known as the Nueva Canción (New Song) that flourished throughout Latin America between the 1960s and the 1980s. The continent-wide movement sought to challenge the commercialization of the airwaves by raising profound, revolutionary, and deeply Latin American themes while revaluing traditional instruments and styles. Music played an important role in articulating a rejection of capitalist and colonial values, a turn to popular and indigenous roots, a commitment to continent-wide revolution, and a vision of a better world. Through festivals, gatherings, and conferences, mass concerts and radio, international travel, and, under dictatorship, clandestinely circulated cassette tapes, the Nueva Canción exemplified a generation’s search for multiple meanings of liberation. In participating in radical critiques of Latin America’s social order, the Nueva Canción rewrote gender norms embedded in society and its music. Revolutionary singer-songwriters explored the meanings of human emancipation in ways that challenged traditional gender roles and ideologies. Political, personal, and love songs upended gender stereotypes to offer new, revolutionary meanings to romantic love. Songwriters linked the Cuban Revolution to other Latin American revolutionary processes and imagined how the new society would liberate the human spirit and human potential. Socially committed art reflected, explored, and contributed to imagining the new world, and reimagining gender played a role in the process and in its music.

Historicizing Sexuality in the Cuban Revolution
Authors: Lambe Jennifer L.
Published: February 2020

What should be the place of the Cuban Republic in histories of sexuality under the revolution? This essay argues that scholarly accounts of gender and sexuality in post-1959 Cuba want for a fuller engagement with their pre-1959 context. In particular, it seeks to open up a conversation about questions and topics in the history of sexuality that might straddle the 1959 divide, as well as the historiographical (and political) consequences of writing across it.
Ultrasonography for diagnosis of peri-implant diseases and conditions: a detailed scanning protocol and case demonstration
Authors: Chan Hsun-Liang , Kripfgans Oliver D.
Published: February 2020

Objectives:

Ultrasonography has shown its promising diagnostic value in dental implant imaging research in the three treatment phases, namely, planning, intraoperative, and postoperative phase. With increasing awareness of peri-implant diseases and a lack of an efficient diagnostic method, the aim is to propose ultrasound imaging as a potential solution by providing a detailed scanning protocol and case demonstration.

Methods:

Ultrasound device specification and the setup for optimizing peri-implant tissue imaging was described. Two useful imaging modes, viz. B-mode and color flow, were introduced. Important anatomical structures for accurate diagnosis of peri-implant diseases were illustrated. Finally, a detailed scanning sequence was proposed.

Results:

Ultrasound images were acquired on live humans to exemplify the four peri-implant diseases and conditions, endorsed by the 2017 World Workshop organized by the American Academy of Periodontology and the European Federation of Periodontology. Ultrasound can provide not only cross-sectional anatomical images but also functional images (color flow images) that may be useful for evaluating the degree of peri-implant tissue inflammation.

Conclusions:

High-frequency ultrasonography could be another cross-sectional imaging modality in adjunct to radiographs for diagnosing imminent peri-implant diseases and conditions that negatively influence quality of life of millions of patients with implants. This case study provides a framework for future related research work and clinical scanning guidelines.

An experimental station has recently been completed with a beam line dedicated to atomic collision physics at the 5.5 MV TANDEM accelerator laboratory of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics (INPP) at the National Center for Scientific Research (NCSR) “Demokritos” in Athens. A Zero-degree Auger Projectile Spectroscopy (ZAPS) apparatus composed of a single-stage Hemispherical Deflector Analyser (HDA) and a 2-dimensional Position Sensitive Detector (PSD), combined with a doubly differentially pumped gas target has been set up for high resolution studies of electrons emitted from projectile ions at θ = 0◦ with respect to the beam direction in collisions with dilute gas targets. A terminal gas stripper, as well as both a foil and a gas post-stripper, have also been newly installed, enhancing the capabilities of the TANDEM by allowing for the production of more intense, highly charged ion beams, thus complementing and expanding the range of the available energies and charge states of the TANDEM. Using this setup, a systematic isoelectronic investigation of high resolution K-Auger electron spectra emitted from pre-excited ions in collisions with gas targets has been commenced within the APAPES initiative. Here, we present some highlights of this program together with recent results. This investigation is expected to lead to a better understanding of electron capture to excited states of the ion beam and in particular the overlooked role of cascade feeding of metastable states contributing to the capture cross sections, recently a field of contested interpretations awaiting further resolution.

Authors: Assimakopoulou A. , Souliotis G. A. , Bonasera A. , Veselsky M.
Published: February 2020

Proton – induced spallation reactions on 238U, 208Pb, 181Ta and 197Au targets at high energies were studied and investigated using the microscopic Contrained Molecular Dynamics (CoMD) model. Total fission cross sections, the ratio fission cross section to residue cross section, mean kinetic energy of fission fragments, mass yield curves and the number of nucleons emitted, before and after scission, as well as the total nucleon multiplicity were calculated using the CoMD model and compared with experimental data from the literature. Some of our calculations showed satisfactory agreement with available experimental data.The calculations of cross sections and the ratio fission cross section to residue cross section as a function of the proton energy gave us the opportunity to estimate observables for unmeasured nuclides.

One of the primary objectives of the field of Nuclear Astrophysics is the study of the elemental and isotopic abundances in our solar system. Although a lot of progress has been made regarding a large number of nuclides, there is still a number of neutron-deficient nuclei, ie the p nuclei, which cannot be created via the s and r processes. These processes are responsible for the production of the bulk of heavy nuclides. The pre-explosive or explosive phases of massive stars are considered potential loci for p nuclides production via various combinations of photodisintegrations and nucleon captures, along with β+ decays and electron captures. For the study of the vast network of nuclear reactions (over 20'000) that are responsible for observed isotopic abundances, the statistical model of Hauser-Feshbach is employed. The model requires the knowledge of nuclear reaction cross sections, quantities that can be measured in the laboratory. In this work, we report on recent experimental attempts to measure such cross sections in radiative proton-capture reactions involving 107,109Ag near the astrophysically relevant energy window. Measurements have been performed at the Tandem Accelerator Laboratory of the N.S.C.R. “Demokritos”. The results are compared to various theoretical models, using the TALYS and EMPIRE codes, in an attempt to provide experimental input to astrophysical models.

The benchmarking experimental procedure in IBA (Ion Beam Analysis) is carefully designed in order to validate evaluated and experimental differential cross–section datasets of charged particles via the acquisition of EBS and NRA spectra from thick targets of known composition, followed by their simulations. In the present work, such benchmarking measurements have been performed at the laboratory of the Institute for Nuclear and Particle Physics “Demokritos”, for the elastic scattering of protons on natSi in the energy range of 1.1 – 3.5 MeV at four backward angles, at 140o, 150o, 160o and 170o. In addition, measurements were performed for the elastic scattering of deuterons on 16O in the energy range of 1.1 – 1.7 MeV at four backward angles, at 140o, 150o, 165o and 170o. More specifically, a thick non–polished Si target with Au evaporated on top and a Nb2O5 tablet were used. The spectra acquired were compared with simulated ones using the SIMNRA program along with the evaluated differential cross-section datasets from IBANDL. All the experimental parameters were thoroughly investigated. The obtained results, the observed discrepancies and the encountered problems during the benchmarking process are discussed and analyzed.

Knowledge of neutron cross-sections of various plutonium isotopes and other minor actinides is crucial for the design of advanced nuclear systems. The 240,242Pu(n,f) cross-sections were measured at the CERN n_TOF facility, taking advantage of the wide energy range (from thermal to GeV) and the high instantaneous flux of the neutron beam. In this work, preliminary results are presented along with a theoretical cross-section calculation performed with the EMPIRE code.
Analysis of the flow systematics in Au+Au collisions
Authors: Veselsky M. , Ma Yu-Gang , Souliotis G. A.
Published: February 2020

The new implementation of the Boltzmann-Uhling-Uhlenbeck equation, the VdWBUU simulation (with EoS-dependent in-medium nucleon-nucleon cross sections) appears to reproduce the flow observables in the Au+Au collisions in the energy range from 400 AMeV to 10 AGeV. The range of the feasible stiffness of the EoS can be identified, based on the analysis presented here, as encompassing compressibilities starting from 250-260 MeV and above, and thus consistent with the results of re-analysis of the giant monopole resonance data (250-310 MeV). Using that additional constraint, the range of feasible values of the stiffness of density dependence can be set as γ=1−1.25, with the value γ=1 appearing as as a global value of stiffness of the symmetry energy feasible over the whole range of constrained compressibilities. The implementation of BUU with the free nucleon-nucleon cross sections can not describe correctly the global trends of flow observables.
Nuclear equation of state constraints from tidal deformability of neutron stars
Authors: Moustakidis Ch. C.
Published: February 2020

We study the effect of nuclear equation of state on the tidal polarizability of neutron stars. The predicted equations of state for the β-stable nuclear matter are parameterized by varying the slope L of the symmetry energy at saturation density on the interval 65 MeV≤L≤115 MeV. The effects of the density dependence of the nuclear symmetry energy on the neutron star tidal polarizability are presented and analyzed. A comparison of theoretical predictions with the recent observation predictions is also performed and analyzed.

Published: February 2020

A small-field portable γ-Camera system based on a Position Sensitive Photomultiplier Tube (PSPMT) has been recently developed in our Lab. This γ-Camera system has been characterized on planar and tomographic level and exhibits high efficiency and resolution (0.95 ± 0.5 mm spatial resolution on planar imaging and 0.20μCi sensitivity on a tomographic level). Even though a portable γ-Camera system has many advantages, it shows a strong dependence from the operators hand stability which greatly affects the quality of the acquired image. To overcome these circumstances a need for a motion correction technique arises. In the present work, a simple a low cost solution to overcome this stability problem by means of commercially available equipment is proposed. It is based on the Nintendo’s Wii Remote sensors, a small handheld device which can be easily coupled to the portable camera. It comprises both, a 3D-accelerometer which reports the three detected components of the gravity acceleration and an infrared sensor for a fix-point distance evaluation. The Wii Remote sensors device is wireless and operates with modern communication protocols (Bluetooth). Based on the received accelerometer and infrared-sensor data by a DAQ system developed on the LabVIEW environment, the γ-Cameras DAQ system is capable to store all the primary parameters on an event-by-event basis and to perform the necessary motion correction in real time. Some typical image correction results are presented in the current work.

The 241Am(n,2n)240Am reaction cross section has been measured at neutron beam energy 17.5 MeV, relative to the 27Al(n,α)24Na, 197Au(n,2n)196Au and 93Nb(n,2n)92mNb reference reaction cross sections, using the activation technique. The irradiation was carried out at the Van der Graaff 5.5 MV Tandem accelerator laboratory of NCSR “Demokritos” with monoenergetic neutron beam provided by means of the 3H(d,n)4He reaction, implementing a new Ti-tritiated target. The high purity Am target has been constructed at IRMM, Geel, Belgium and consisted of 40 mg 241Am in the form of AmO2 pressed into pellet with Al2O3 and encapsulated into Al container. Due to this high radioactivity (5 GBq), the Am target was enclosed in a Pb container for safety reasons. After the end of the irradiation, the activity induced by the neutron beam at the target and reference foils, was measured off-line by two 100%, a 50% and a 16% relative efficiency, HPGe detectors.

Published: February 2020

The important role of metals and metalloids in the aquatic environment can be studied by means of Syn- chrotron Radiation (SR)-based X-ray spectroscopic techniques. In the present work, we have performed analyses of data sets (μ–XRF, μ–XANES and μ–EXAFS), for coastal sediments and marine precipitates, obtained at the ANKA Synchrotron Facility in Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT, Germany). Prelim- inary results with regard to the distribution and speciation of toxic (Hg and As) and biocompatible (Fe) metals and metalloids are presented herein. It is therefore demonstrated that Fe is easily precipitated as FeIII oxyhydroxides, most likely related to As, as well as ferrihydrite-type FeIII hydrated oxyhydroxides, whereas Hg is rather accumulated in the form of methyl-containing compounds.

The author pays special attention here (for the first time in English-language scholarship) to the subject of salesmen or selling as depicted in Mamet’s drama and earlier in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, and Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire—each of which also features a salesman among its characters.
When Lift-and-Project Cuts Are Different
Authors: Balas Egon , Serra Thiago
Published: February 2020

In this paper, we present a method to determine if a lift-and-project cut for a mixed-integer linear program is irregular, in which case the cut is not equivalent to any intersection cut from the bases of the linear relaxation. This is an important question due to the intense research activity for the past decade on cuts from multiple rows of simplex tableau as well as on lift-and-project cuts from nonsplit disjunctions. Although it has been known for a while that lift-and-project cuts from split disjunctions are always equivalent to intersection cuts and consequently to such multirow cuts, it has been recently shown that there is a necessary and sufficient condition in the case of arbitrary disjunctions: a lift-and-project cut is regular if, and only if, it corresponds to a regular basic solution of the Cut Generating Linear Program (CGLP). This paper has four contributions. First, we state a result that simplifies the verification of regularity for basic CGLP solutions. Second, we provide a mixed-integer formulation that checks whether there is a regular CGLP solution for a given cut that is regular in a broader sense, which also encompasses irregular cuts that are implied by the regular cut closure. Third, we describe a numerical procedure based on such formulation that identifies irregular lift-and-project cuts. Finally, we use this method to evaluate how often lift-and-project cuts from simple t-branch split disjunctions are irregular, and thus not equivalent to multirow cuts, on 74 instances of the Mixed Integer Programming Library (MIPLIB) benchmarks.
Surgical treatment of tarsal coalitions in children and adolescents
Authors: Kothari Alpesh , Masquijo Javier
Published: February 2020

A tarsal coalition is an abnormal connection between two or more tarsal bones caused by failure of mesenchymal segmentation. The two most common tarsal coalitions are calcaneonavicular coalition (CNC) and talocalcaneal coalition (TCC). Both CNC and TCC can be associated with significant foot and ankle pain and impaired quality of life; there may also be concomitant foot and ankle deformity. Initial, non-operative management for symptomatic tarsal coalition commonly fails, leaving surgical intervention as the only recourse. The focus of this article is to critically describe the variety of methods used to surgically manage CNC and TCC. In review of the pertinent literature we highlight the ongoing treatment controversies in this field and discuss new innovations. The evidence-based algorithmic approach used by the authors in the management of tarsal coalitions is illustrated alongside some clinical pearls that should help surgeons treating this common, and at times complex, condition.

Fixation of AO-OTA 31-A1 and A2 trochanteric femur fractures using a sliding hip screw system: can we trust a two-hole side plate construct? A review of the literature
Authors: Vallon Faustine , Gamulin Axel
Published: February 2020

Trochanteric femur fractures are frequently fixed with a four-hole side plate sliding hip screw device, but in recent decades two-hole side plates have been used in an attempt to minimize operative time, surgical dissection, blood loss and post-operative pain. The aim of this review was to determine whether two-hole sliding hip screw constructs are an acceptable option for fixation of AO-OTA 31-A1 and A2 trochanteric femur fractures. An electronic MEDLINE® database search was performed using PubMed®, and articles were included in this review if they were reporting historical, biomechanical, clinical or outcome data on trochanteric fracture fixation using a two-hole sliding hip screw device. A two-hole dynamic hip screw with a minimally invasive muscle-splitting approach is recommended for fixation of AO-OTA 31-A1 simple trochanteric fractures; this implant is biomechanically safe, and allows the use of a minimally invasive muscle-splitting approach which potentially provides better clinical outcome, such as decreased surgical trauma, shorter operative time, less blood loss, decreased analgesics use, and shorter incision length. As the majority of reviewed publications relate to the dynamic hip screw, it is not clear whether the above recommendations can be extended to any other sliding hip screw device. An intramedullary device is recommended for all other extra-capsular proximal femoral fractures.

We study the ground state cooling of a mechanical resonator in the membrane-in-the-middle (MIM) optomechanical system driven by only one drive field, including a continuous-wave, square-pulse, or Gaussian-pulse field. Details of the dynamical evolution of the phonon number under different conditions are presented, and the effect of system conditions on cooling is discussed. We show that the theoretical cooling limit of a single cavity with a single continuous-wave drive field can be broken with the MIM system. Even a one order lower cooling rate, such as

Self-calibration method for temperature errors in multi-axis rotational inertial navigation system
Authors: Ban Jingxuan , Wang Lei , Liu Zengjun , Zhang Lixiang
Published: February 2020

Rotation modulation technology of inertial navigation system brings navigation performance increasement without any new requirement on inertial sensors. However, device errors still make significant influence on navigation precision. Traditional temperature model identification methods cost plenty of time which reduce production efficiency. Therefore, it is necessary to study an effective solution decreasing temperature resulted errors for engineering application. The paper proposes a fast-self-calibration method for temperature errors. A continuous rotation scheme is designed to excite 21 errors inside of 10 minutes. Kalman Filter algorithm is applied to estimate 21 errors taking velocity errors and position errors as measurements. In order to identify temperature model, the rotation scheme is repeated ten times to estimate error parameters under different temperature. Due to the fast rotation scheme, temperature rising rate can be higher than traditional methods and calibration time is shortened. Finally, the method is verified by simulations and experiments.

Published: February 2020

Complex-shaped light fields with specially designed intensity, phase, and polarization distributions are highly demanded for various applications including optical tweezers, laser material processing, and lithography. Here, we propose a novel (to the best of our knowledge) optical element formed by the twisting of a conic surface, a twisted microaxicon, allowing us to controllably generate high-quality spiral-shaped intensity patterns. Performance of the proposed element was analyzed both analytically and numerically using ray approximation and the rigorous finite difference time domain (FDTD) solution of Maxwell’s equation. The main geometric parameters, an apex cone angle and a degree of twisting, were considered to control and optimize the generated spiral-shaped intensity patterns. The three-dimensional structure of such a microaxicon cannot be described by an unambiguous height function; therefore, it has no diffraction analogue in the form of a thin optical element. Such an element can be produced via direct laser ablation of transparent targets with structured laser beams or direct laser writing via two-photon photopolymerization and can be used in various micro- and nano-optical applications.

Investigation of Libyan and Turkish students' thinking levels in solving quadratic word problems based on SOLO Taxonomy
Authors: Elazzabi Awatef , Kaçar Ahmet
Published: February 2020

This article presents a study of the skills of Libyan and Turkish students in their quadratic word problems based on SOLO Taxonomy. The research model used in this study is a case study. The participants were 27 students at a high school in Kastamonu, Turkey and were 27 students at a high school in the city of Tripoli, Libya. The data were obtained by thinking test consisting of three problems. The test was applied to the students in the spring semester of 2017-2018 academic year. Overall, the results showed that Turkish students had multiple structural levels of 48.15% and relational structural levels of 10.37%, which is considered a good ratio, and were better than Libyan students with multiple structural levels of 21.50% and relational-structural levels of 9.00%. This shows that the majority of Turkish students participating in the study may be successful in moving advanced thinking levels in these problems. On the other hand, there are students who cannot answer the problems as well as pre-structural and uni-structural students. Some of the reasons why these students’ levels are low may be misinterpretation of the problem, difficulty in understanding word problems and turning them into mathematical symbols, and negligence.

On March 18 2014, the Republic of Crimea became a federal subject of the Russian Federation and the Ukrainian legal system was changed to the Russian system. The transition period was set to end on January 1 2015. This transition period was characterized by the fact that the law was created on a day-to-day basis, and as the residents of Crimea were unfamiliar with Russian law they found themselves in a legal vacuum. Laws were adopted in an urgent manner to ensure that the unification was as smooth as possible. In practice it became apparent that the allocated time was not sufficient, and the transition period was extended in some areas. The Article presents a review of the accession procedure and the legal regulations established in the Republic of Crimea during the transition period, and identifies some issues which have arisen.
Corporate Consistency and the Regulations of the Corporate Governance System
Authors: Kamiński Ryszard , Flieger Michał
Published: February 2020

Corporate governance involves not only working out the relationship between a company and its shareholders, but also a search for consistency on a daily basis. When consistency is achieved, the shareholders’ satisfaction is higher and relations improve. Consistency is a prerequisite for a company’s effectiveness and efficiency, and it is the board’s task to make a corporation consistent. The first part of the paper introduces M. Flieger’s concept of corporate consistency, where platforms of consistency are introduced and the consistency model is proposed. This is the first time that such an introduction has been made, and this may lead to further discussion and research. The author points out that managers are rarely aware of the consistency problem, and there are no tools which enable a consistent system to be worked out. This makes the concept of corporate consistency worth investigating. In the second part of the paper, R. Kaminski focuses on the development of the European Union and Polish regulations, which were introduced as a consequence of the changing conditions in company activity. This section determines the content and sequence of the main issues discussed in the article. These include: the characteristics of the concept of a corporate governance system, the presentation of changes in regulations regarding a corporate governance system in the EU and the presentation of Polish regulations on corporate governance. The primary sources used in the work were literature and the rules and standards (mandatory and optional) on corporate governance. Both authors used descriptive analysis and the comparative method.
Enhanced Cooperation and Free Movement. Territorial Aspects of ‘Harmonisation’
Authors: Malaga Miłosz , Wilińska-Zelek Anna
Published: February 2020

In this article we examine the notion of ‘harmonisation’ in its interplay with the application of provisions on the free movement of goods. Due to the introduction of the European unitary patent protection system, we are witnessing the first cases of adopting enhanced cooperation in the internal market. This fact raises new, systemic questions concerning the concept of ‘harmonisation’ in European Union law. Are only legal, substantive aspects covered by its definition or should the territorial range of a legal act be taken into account? If yes – to what extent? Since the adoption of enhanced cooperation covers the field of intellectual property rights, the above questions concern the relationship between exercising those rights on the one hand and the principle of free movement on the other. A closer look at this matter leads to the conclusion that the unitary patent might not provide the solution to one of the problems that created for. More generally, in this article we conclude that when defining the concept of ‘harmonisation’, one should take its territorial scope into account narrowly, so as not to infringe the principles of EU law.

Authors: Bujny Jędrzej , Mądry Tymoteusz
Published: February 2020

This paper addresses the issue of the functioning of regional facilities for the processing of municipal waste in the light of the provisions of the Competition and Consumer Protection Act of 16 February 2007. The authors seek answers to the question of whether in certain specific situations it is possible to conclude that a given facility holds a dominant position on the market in which it operates. Two situations will be subjected to close analysis, namely those in which only one or two facilities with RMWPF status operate in a given region of municipal waste management.

ENDÜSTRİYEL MÜŞTERİ SADAKATİ: MÜŞTERİNİN DEĞER ALGILAMASI VE DEĞER ODAKLILIK DÜZEYİNİN ROLÜ - GSM SEKTÖRÜNDEN BİR ÖRNEK -
Authors: KANIBİR Hüseyin , NART Sima
Published: February 2020

Bu çalışma, endüstriyel pazarlarda müşteri sadakati ile müşterinin değer algılaması arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmektedir. Ayrıca endüstriyel müşterinin değer algılamasının, müşterinin “değer-odaklı” olup olmaması ile ilişkisi de sorgulanmaktadır. Bu amaçla, GSM sektöründeki üç ana operatörün (Turkcell, Avea, TelsimVodafone) endüstriyel müşterilerinden oluşan 331 işletmeyi kapsayan bir anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Toplanan veriler kümeleme analizi ve ki- kare testleri yoluyla incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, endüstriyel müşterilerin yüksek düzeyde değer algılaması ile yüksek sadakat düzeyi arasında açık bir ilişkinin varlığını göstermektedir. Ayıtı zamanda, müşterilerin değer-odaklılık düzeyi ile değer algılama düzeyleri arasında da anlamlı bir ilişki söz konusudur.

KÜRESEL EKONOMİ VE TÜRKİYE
Authors: OK Süleyman Tuluğ
Published: February 2020

Bu çalışma, 20. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde ortaya çıkan ve tüm dünyayı kasıp kavuran, 1992 yılından beri yaşanan teknoloji devrimi ve Internet sayesinde de zaman ve mekânı daraltan, dünyayı adeta tek bir pazaryeri haline getiren küreselleşme olgusunu çeşitli boyutlarıyla incelemektedir. Küreselleşmenin, ülkelerin karbon dioksit gazı emisyonundan kayıt dışı ekonomilerine kadar geniş etkileri vardır. Küreselleşmenin etkisiyle ortaya çıkan yeni gelişmekte olan ekonomiler, belki de dünyanın yarınını şekillendirecek ve üzerinde dikkatle durulması gereken bir fenomendir. Küreselleşme sürecinin Türkiye üzerindeki etkilerinin anlaşılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Son 25 yıllık yakın tarihimize baktığımızda, ülkemiz hızla dışa açılmış ve bunun sonucunda birçok gelir dağılımı sorunuyla karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Ekonomideki bu sorunlar siyasi alana halen devam eden istikrarsızlık olarak yansımıştır. Gelinen noktada Avrupa Birliği’ne giriş müzakereleri devam eden Türkiye’nin, şu ana kadar ıskalamış göründüğü küreselleşme sürecini yeniden yakalayabilmesi ve uluslararası rekabette kendine yer edinebilmesinin yolu teknoloji üretmekten geçmektedir. Türkiye ancak inovasyona dayalı yüksek teknoloji ve katma değer üreterek küreselleşmesini tamamlayabilecek ve küresel pazarda rekabet gücünü arttırabilecektir.
