During the October 30 2020 M(w)7.0 Samos Earthquake the Turkiye-Izmir-Bayrakli district was affected the most due to the geometry and the deep-soft alluvial nature of the basin although the district is approximately 70 km away from the epicenter. In this study the seismic response of the Bayrakli basin and the role of the soil stratigraphy and basin geometry on the recorded amplifications and prolonging of seismic shakings are investigated by using 1- 2-and 3-D non-linear finite element-based dynamic response analyses. The assessment results are presented in the form of spectral amplification ratios A(T). The highest A(T) values were estimated at spectral periods T = 0.85 and 1 s. They exceed five in both the east-west and the north-south directions more pronounced in the latter one. A(T) was decomposed into the product of two independent amplification factors namely rock to soil amplifications A(Soil)(T) and 1-D soil column to 3-D soil basin amplifications A(Basin)(T). A(Basin)(T) values for T = 0.85 and 1 s are estimated as high as 1.4 and 1.6 in the east-west and the north-south directions respectively. These values suggest that the 3-D geometry of the Bayrakli basin amplifies the spectral accelerations by 40-60% at T = 0.85 and 1 s. The unique combination of a deep-soft alluvial site with 3-D basin geometry and overlying 7-9 story residential buildings consistently favors and amplifies the seismic energy in the spectral period range of 0.7-1.0 s. This multi-fold increased seismic demand combined with poor structural design and construction details lead to localized structural damage and over 117 life losses.
A Bibliometric Analysis on Bio-Inspired Responsive Facades
(Gazi Univ, 2025-12-01) Bilmez, Busra; Maden, Feray
The implementation of responsive facades offers a promising strategy for reducing operational energy use while enhancing indoor comfort. These facades dynamically adjust their configurations, mirroring adaptive behaviors observed in living organisms. The bio-inspired responsive facade approach integrates principles from biomimicry and responsive architecture to develop systems that react intelligently to environmental stimuli. This study aims to analyze existing literature to identify key developments and trends in bio-inspired responsive facades. The research is conducted in three main phases. First, the study establishes its conceptual framework. Second, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is conducted using the Web of Science database, employing science mapping techniques via VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix R package. This analysis uncovers major trends, turning points, influential authors, leading journals, and significant conferences, offering a clear overview of the research landscape. In the third phase, 33 facade designs are selected from 141 identified publications for comparative analysis. Each design is examined based on material, control systems, movement mechanisms, and functional objectives. The review explores their natural inspirations, responsive stimuli, and material strategies to derive insights for future innovation. Results reveal that 45% of designs focus on improving thermal comfort in hot climates, often utilizing active systems or smart materials. Folding and rotating mechanisms are the most common modes of movement. However, only five designs progress beyond the conceptual phase, highlighting the need for practical implementation. By mapping the evaluation of this interdisciplinary field, the study establishes a systematic foundation for advancing bio-inspired responsive facade research.

A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO SUZUKI TALENT EDUCATION
(ANADOLU UNIV, 2016) Zehra Sak Brody; Brody, Zehra Sak
The Suzuki teaching method was created by Japanese violinist and pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki. The central tenet of his philosophy was that talent is not inborn, it can be gained through proper education. Therefore assuming that a child does not have some physical handicap 'every child can play'. Eventually it became one of the most popular teaching methods in the world. Suzuki started with the insight that if all children learn to speak their native tongues with the utmost fluency they must have the ability to learn to play an instrument fluently. The method is thus referred to as the 'Mother Tongue Method'. He believed that if a child starts at an early age learns with small steps and uses a violin of an appropriate size he or she could play the violin. The difference between the Mother Tongue Method and other traditional methods is that it starts at a very early age and includes the family - especially the mother - in the learning process. The formation of a cooperative triangle of teacher-parent-student is very important. Perhaps the most important factor in the success of this method is that Suzuki believed that children need to be taken seriously and that if they are they have the ability to learn and achieve anything.

A Case Study on the Selection of Optimum Loop Units for the Deployable Arch Structures Exposed to Lateral and Non-uniform Gravity Loads
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2020) K. Yuceturk; E. Aktas; F. Maden; S. Gur; C. C. Mitropoulou; Mitropoulou, C.C.; Aktaş, E.; Yücetürk, K.; Maden, F.; Gur, Ş.; ND Lagaros; KM Abdalla; GC Marano; MC Phocas; R AlRousan
Radially deployable arches may be created by using various types of units. However for any deployable structure to be constructed in real life it should satisfy the structural regulations and codes. Despite various advantages from architectural perspective deployable structures are weak to satisfy the operational code limits when compared to trusses with similar height and span. Therefore weight minimization is very important to reduce the dead loads of the structure which facilitates the code-conformance of the structure. The optimization of the deployable structures requires an initial selection of the loop types to define the structure parametrically. An initial selection strategy depending on the loads on the structure is important to increase the efficiency of optimization process. Under uniform gravity loads optimum arrangement for each unit type converges to a similar point. However in the real world the loads on the arches are not always uniform and the structure is exposed to nonuniform loadings such as point loads or lateral loads. This work focuses on the performance of various arches with different unit types under lateral and non-uniform vertical loads. Different lateral load and non-uniform gravity loading scenarios are created. For each scenario the arches with different units are analyzed. In all cases clear span and height are kept as same. The performance of an arch with a specific unit type for a given load is measured with a score that includes the deformations and the weight of the structure. All the members are assumed to be circular hollow sections with variable diameter and thickness to have a meaningful weight comparison between structures. This work intends to define an initial selection guide for deployable arches under typical non-uniform and lateral loading conditions. (C) 2020 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.

A circular food supply chain network model to reduce food waste
(Springer, 2022-05-09) Ozgur Kabadurmus; Yigit Kazancoglu; Damla Yüksel; Melisa Ozbiltekin-Pala; Yüksel, Damla; Pala, Melisa Özbiltekin; Kabadurmus, Ozgur; Kazançoğlu, Yiğit
Food loss and waste (FLW) is a growing global problem throughout the world. The rapid increase in food waste and deficiencies in treatment processes have led to greater harm to the environment. A circular food supply chain (FSC) is now an essential means of encouraging circular economy. Proper food waste treatment and recycling operations can not only benefit the environment but these wastes can also be used as raw material for production in a circular economy. In this study a circular food supply chain network model is designed to reduce the food waste generated in the circular food supply chain systems of municipalities. Then a mixed-integer linear programming model is generated to model the proposed circular food supply chain network model. The MILP model is a network model aimed at reducing the food waste generated. To do so two objectives are considered: the overall cost of the network is minimized and the amount of distributed food waste from the generation nodes to the end nodes is maximized. Due to the bi-objective nature of the proposed mathematical model the Improved Augmented Epsilon Constraint method (AUGMECON2) is implemented to solve the problem optimally. To illustrate the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed mathematical model two real-life case studies were carried out in Izmir the third largest city in Turkey. The computational results demonstrate that the proposed model is beneficial for both small and large municipalities since it provides the Pareto-optimal set where the total amount of distributed food waste is maximized and the total cost is minimized. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

A CLUB BELONGS TO A CITY- A REGION- AND A COUNTRY: ATHLETIC CLUB DE BILBAO
(ISTANBUL UNIV PRESS ISTANBUL UNIV RECTORATE, 2021-08-06) Mertcan Akan; Zaloa Zabala Inchaurraga; Akan, Mertcan; Zabala Inchaurraga, Zaloa; M Unver; M Tanriverdi
Euskal Herria which means Basque country refers not only to a geographical region but also to a society culture and thought. The Civil War that took place in Spain between 1936-1939 and the following Franco period (1939-1975) have played a critical role in shaping the memory of the Basque society and forming the present identity. The city of Bilbao which is the center of the country's largest region Bizkaia (Vizcaya) is also one of the places where the Basque identity and memory are being lived and kept living densely. The post-Franco period and the flood disaster in 1983 triggered a social cultural artistic and architectural transformation process in Bilbao city throughout which the city left its idyllic and industrial identity behind. This experience made Bilbao one of the most specific examples of how a city can be transformed by adhering to its historical origins. The purpose of this article is to emphasize the active role played by the Athletic Club one of the most important clubs in the institutionalization of modem football in Spain and how a sport club is owned by a city and its society. Carrying out a rare policy in contemporary industrial football with the mission of being the representative of the Basque country the club continues its struggle with athletes trained mostly from quarry. In this sense Athletic Club managed to bring the local struggle of its own lands together to a global stage. Thus as a sport club the Athletic Club has been = so effective in the information of identity and city culture that it has become one of the rare examples of this in the world.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE EXERGOECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF TEXTILE DRYERS USING SPECO METHOD
(EGE UNIV, 2012) Ahmet Cay; Isik Tarakcioglu; Arif Hepbasli; Hepbaşlı, Arif; Çay, Ahmet; Tarakçıoğlu, Işık
This study reveals the exergoeconomic analysis of stenters by using Specific Exergy Costing (SPECO) method. The cost balances and auxiliary thermoeconomic relations were developed for direct gas heated (DGHS) and hot oil heated (HOHS) stenters by the application of the control volume models. The exergy cost of the evaporation of water was selected to be the main parameter. It was shown that the falling-rate period of drying led to the highest exergy costs while exergy costs varied between 0.19 US$/GJ and 0.59 US$/GJ depending on the drying periods. Increasing the exhaust air humidity ratio and the residual moisture content of the fabric outlet decreased the exergy costs linearly.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Data Augmentation Methods for Speech Emotion Recognition
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Umut Avci; Avci, Umut
The limited availability of labeled emotional speech data remains a significant challenge in the development of robust speech emotion recognition systems. This paper presents a comprehensive investigation of the effectiveness of diverse data augmentation strategies for enhancing emotion recognition performance. Three different data augmentation categories were examined: audio-based transformations image-based modifications and feature-level synthesis. Seventeen transformations were used in audio-based data augmentation to change the time and frequency content of the raw audio signal. Eight transformations such as shifting rotating and zooming were applied to the spectrogram images for image-based data augmentation. The SpecAugment method was also used to transform the spectrograms into versions with masked time and frequency axes. In feature-space-based approaches new feature vectors were generated using five oversampling algorithms and a generative adversarial network. Experimental results from the EMO-DB and IEMOCAP datasets demonstrate that the data augmentation approaches enhance emotion classification performance by up to six percent. Empirical evidence indicates that training sets augmented through combinations of audio-based transformations yield the highest performance gains. In contrast the GAN-based approach fails to improve the classification performance. © 2025 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
A Comprehensive Overview of Foreign Language Teachers' Professional Development: Self-directed and Institutional Professional Development Activities of English Teachers in Turkey
(Turkish Education Association, 2024-07-30) Çaǧri Özköse-Biyik; Oner Uslu; Bıyık, Çağrı Özköse; Uslu, Öner
When the literature on the professional development of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers is examined professional development predominantly encompasses institutional activities. This study critically examines conventional definitions and practices related to the professional development of EFL teachers arguing that in line with the demands of the era teachers' professional development should also include self-directed individual activities. However for professional development activities to contribute to the ultimate goal of student learning it is important for the organizational culture in which teachers are situated to be supportive of their professional development. To seek answers to research questions about how the institutional and self-directed activities carried out by EFL teachers in Türkiye and the organizational culture influence these activities an exploratory sequential strategy was employed in the research. First qualitative data were collected and then quantitative data were collected through a survey tool developed based on the qualitative data. Comprehensive individual interviews were conducted with a total of 28 teachers across Turkey and survey data were collected from 819 teachers. The findings are presented as self-directed (unstructured) professional development activities (e.g. use of search engines reading news websites watching videos/series etc.) and institutional (structured) professional development activities (participation in national and international conferences etc.). The necessity of foreign language teachers being involved in many individual activities through self-direction beyond their participation in activities planned by institutions for the professional development of a foreign language teacher is discussed. The study proposes a comprehensive perspective on the concept of professional development related to EFL teachers and offers recommendations for the field of foreign language teacher education. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.

A conceptual framework for blockchain-based sustainable supply chain and evaluating implementation barriers: A case of the tea supply chain
(WILEY, 2022-03-23) Sachin Kumar Mangla; Yigit Kazancoglu; Abdullah Yildizbasi; Cihat Ozturk; Ahmet Calik; Calik, Ahmet; Yildizbasi, Abdullah; Ozturk, Cihat; Mangla, Sachin Kumar; Kazancoglu, Yigit
The increasing population and income inequality in the last decades have made it necessary to focus on the concept of sustainability. In the changing world order with economic crises instabilities pandemics and social media sustainability awareness differs significantly from past years. In addition developing new technologies and concepts (big data blockchain IoT robotic etc.) plays a crucial role in meeting social awareness in terms of sustainability. Food sustainability is also one of the most important pillars in this concept. The integration of new technologies in agriculture and food chains will enable the current world population to use resources more efficiently and sustainably. Blockchain one of the technologies that emerged with the arrival of Industry 4.0 is a technology that can be used effectively in many sectors. Particularly in supply chain networks it is seen as a technology that supports the sustainability concept due to its features such as decentralization reliability transparency consensus standards and traceability. However since blockchain is an immature and new technology there are some challenges with integrating it into existing conventional systems. This study aims to present a conceptual framework for the integration of blockchain technology to establish a sustainable tea supply chain define possible actions and prioritize the possible risks that may arise in this integration process, this will be done through the Spherical Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (SF-AHP) approach. In this context initially the current tea supply chain will be considered and the activities carried out will be defined in terms of technological environmental and strategic sustainability. Then the design that includes the integration of all activities with blockchain technology is presented. The proposed design covers the entire tea supply chain from end to end and is considered with regard to all sustainability dimensions. In the proposed framework barriers that may be encountered and risks that may arise at each stage of the tea supply chain process are identified, managerial implications are then presented to eliminate these risks. To enhance the use of the recommendations made risks and barriers are prioritized with SF-AHP management. Thus the problems that need to be solved primarily in the technological transformation process can be evaluated more clearly. The proposed theoretical framework is expected to extend to all agricultural practices and support technological advances throughout the agricultural sector.

A critical review on classification and terminology of scissor structures
(Int. Association for Shell and Spatial Structures, 2019-03-01) Feray Maden; Yenal Akgün; Gökhan Kiper; Şebnem Gür; Müjde Yar; Koray Korkmaz; Korkmaz, Koray; Yar, MÜJde; Kiper, GÖKhan; Akgun, Yenal; Maden, Feray; Gur, Sebnem
When the existing literature on the research of scissor structures is thoroughly investigated it is seen that different researchers use different terminologies and classifications especially for the definition of the primary units and the motion type. Some of the studies define the whole geometry based on the geometric properties of the primary scissor units and the unit lines while some other studies define it according to the loops. All these studies use different names for similar elements. This article aims to review the literature on the classification and terminology of scissor structures and represent the state of art on the studies. Tables are represented showing all approaches in the literature. In addition the article criticizes the missing points of each terminology and definition and proposes some new terminology. In order to arrive at this aim different definitions of the primary scissor units and motion types used in key studies in the literature are investigated thoroughly. With several examples it is demonstrated that naming the scissor units according to the resulting motion type might be misleading and it is better to specify the motion type for the whole structure. A classification for transformation of planar curves is presented. © 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The use of European Credit Transfer system (ECTS) provides a reference standard for exchange students across the European Union (EU). It helps more transparency and compatibility to compare the self-study period and performance of students from the different educational structures. However the implementation of ECTS and re-design of courses according to ECTS can be comparatively problematic in most countries. Teachers generally would like to learn the actual workload that is necessary to successfully complete the course(s) of the study program because this is a more realistic evaluation for the duration of study except the teaching time. In this study we describe the design and implementation of a Windows Vista sidebar gadget tool namely Helo Gadget. It runs like an instant messenger on the desktop and interactively collects data from the users. It periodically asks what the students are doing at that moment and saves the answers in the database. The statistics generated by the tool can be used to improve performance of the students and calculate the necessary course credits. The proposed tool enables teachers to monitor the activities of their own students and see these meaningful statistics of courses and students in a daily routine. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

A Discrete Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for the Energy-Efficient No-Wait Flowshop Scheduling Problem
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019) M. Fatih Tasgetiren; Damla Yuksel; Liang Gao; Quan-Ke Pan; Peigen Li; Yuksel, Damla; Tasgetiren, M. Fatih; Gao, Liang; Li, Peigen; Fatih Tasgetiren, M.; Pan, Quan-Ke; CH Dagli; GA Suer
No-wait permutation flow shop scheduling problem (NWPFSP) is a variant of permutation flow shop scheduling problem (PFSP) where the processing of each job must be continuous from start to end without any interruption. That is once a job starts its processing it has to be processed until the last machine without any interruption. The aim of this study is to propose an energy-efficient NWPFSP for the determination of a trade-off between total flow time and total energy consumption by obtaining the Pareto optimal set that is the non-dominated solution set. A bi-objective mixed-integer programming model is developed where the machines can operate at different speed levels. Since the problem is NP-complete an energy-efficient discrete artificial bee colony (DABC) and an energy-efficient genetic algorithm (MOGA) also a variant of this algorithm (MOGALS) are developed as heuristic methods. First the performance of these algorithms for comparison with the mathematical model is represented in small size instances in the scope of cardinality and quality of the non-dominated solutions then it is shown that DABC performs better than two other algorithms in larger instances.

A Feminist Critique of Femvertising: The Example of Dove's My Hair Is beyond the Rules Campaign
(ANKARA UNIV FAC COMMUNICATION, 2021-05-31) Burcu Dabak Ozdemir; Ozdemir, Burcu Dabak
This study uses Dove's (Turkish) TV advertisement My Hair Is beyond the Rules to develop a feminist critique of the new advertising method known as femvertising. The study begins by identifying four common points shared by post-feminist and femvertising discourse: (1) love yourself or love your body (2) your decisions are important (3) trust yourself and (4) buy to feel good. The study then critiques these four points from a feminist perspective: The first point contradicts feminist body politics. The second point is a result of neoliberal individualism and contradicts the idea of feminist gathering. The third point misappropriates feminist political and ideological concepts by placing them into an apolitical cultural climate. And the last point embraces commodity feminism.

Renewable and sustainable energy generation technologies have been in the forefront due to concerns related to environment energy independence and high fossil fuel costs. As part of the EU's 2020 targets it is aimed to reach a 20% share of renewable energy sources in final energy consumption by 2020 according to EU's renewable energy directive. Within this context national renewable energy targets were set for each EU country ranging between 10% (for Malta) and 49% (for Sweden). A large share of renewable energy research has been devoted to photovoltaic systems which harness the solar energy to generate electrical power. As an application of the PV technology building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems have attracted an increasing interest in the past decade and have been shown as a feasible renewable power generation technology to help buildings partially meet their load. In addition to BIPV building integrated photovoltaic/thermal systems (BIPV/T) provide a very good potential for integration into the building to supply both electrical and thermal loads. In this study we comprehensively reviewed the BIPV and BIPVT applications in terms of energy generation amount nominal power efficiency type and performance assessment approaches. The two fundamental research areas in the BIPV and BIPVT systems are observed to be i) improvements on system efficiency by ventilation hence obtaining a higher yield with lowering the panel temperature ii) new thin film technologies that are well suited for building integration. Several approaches to achieve these objectives are reported in the literature as presented in this paper. It is expected that this comprehensive review will be beneficial to researchers and practitioners involved or interested in the design analysis simulation and performance evaluation financial development and incentives new methods and trends of BIPV systems. © 2018 Elsevier B.V.

A mathematical model and optimization of total production cost and quality for a deteriorating production process
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, 2016-12-09) Mohammad Hossein Zavvar Sabegh; Abolfazl Mirzazadeh; Eric C. Maass; Yucel Ozturkoglu; Mohammad Mohammadi; Shiva Moslemi; Sabegh, Mohammad Hossein Zavvar; Maass, Eric C.; Mirzazadeh, Abolfazl; Mohammadi, Mohammad; Ozturkoglu, Yucel; Moslemi, Shiva
Proper production planning can considerably improve a producer's competitiveness in delivering low-cost products with high quality and short-cycle time. In a deterioration process the quality may change during a production run leading to early product failures. To mitigate the impact of deterioration such as process shifting the optimal resetting cycle before the next setup must be determined as well as the initial settings at the beginning of a production run. The aim of this study is to propose a mathematical model that consists of a new quality loss function and adds maintenance costs to the ordering and inventory holding costs commonly considered in the classical model. The model is applied to a real-world case study to demonstrate the effect of initial settings of the mean quality characteristic. The results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach in terms of total production cost as compared with the economic production quantity model.

A Memetic Algorithm for the Bi-Objective Quadratic Assignment Problem
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2019) Cemre Cubukcuoglu; M. Fatih Tasgetiren; I. Sevil Sariyildiz; Liang Gao; Murat Kucukvar; Tasgetiren, M. Fatih; Kucukvar, Murat; Sariyildiz, I. Sevil; Fatih Tasgetiren, M.; Cubukcuoglu, Cemre; Sevil Sariyildiz, I.; Gao, Liang; CH Dagli; GA Suer
Recently multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) have been extensively used to solve multi-objective optimization problems (MOPs) since they have the ability to approximate a set of non-dominated solutions in reasonable CPU times. In this paper we consider the bi-objective quadratic assignment problem (bQAP) which is a variant of the classical QAP which has been extensively investigated to solve several real-life problems. The bQAP can be defined as having many input flows with the same distances between the facilities causing multiple cost functions that must be optimized simultaneously. In this study we propose a memetic algorithm with effective local search and mutation operators to solve the bQAP. Local search is based on swap neighborhood structure whereas the mutation operator is based on ruin and recreate procedure. The experimental results show that our bi-objective memetic algorithm (BOMA) substantially outperforms all the island-based variants of the PASMOQAP algorithm proposed very recently in the literature.

A method of strategic evaluation of energy performance of Building Integrated Photovoltaic in the urban context
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2018-05) V. Costanzo; R. Yao; E. Essah; L. Shao; M. Shahrestani; A. C. Oliveira; M. Araz; A. Hepbasli; E. Biyik; Essah, E.; Shahrestani, M.; Yao, R.; Biyik, E.; Shao, L.; Costanzo, V.; Oliveira, A. C.
This paper presents an integrated bottom-up approach aimed at helping those dealing with strategical analysis of installation of Building Integrated Photo Voltaic (BIPV) to estimate the electricity production potential along with the energy needs of urban buildings at the district scale. On the demand side hourly energy profiles are generated using dynamic building simulation taking into account actual urban morphologies. On the supply side electricity generated from the system is predicted considering both the direct and indirect components of solar radiation as well as local climate variables. Python-based Algorithm editor Grasshopper is used to interlink four types of modelling and simulation tools as 1) generation of 3-D model 2) solar radiation analysis 3) formatting weather files (TMY data set) and 4) dynamic energy demand. The method has been demonstrated for a cluster of 20 buildings located in the Yasar University in Izmir (Turkey) for which it is found the BIPV system could achieve an annual renewable share of 23% in line with the Renewable Energy Directive target of 20%. Quantitatively compared demand and supply information at hourly time step shows that only some energy needs can be met by BIPV so there is a need for an appropriate matching strategy to better exploit the renewable energy potential.
