An Approach to the Green Area Parameter in Urban Transformation

In this study, the green area value is obtained from the feasibility reports which are made in 4, 6-hectare region that is declared as a risky area within the framework of the Law of Transformation of Areas Under Disaster Risk (No. 6306) and Implementation Regulation and the green area per capita (m2/person) is determined. In urban planning in which all of the land-use, social, technical infrastructure parameters need to be considered at the optimum level as a whole, according to this article; even if only the green area data is taken into consideration, the importance of making a transformation decision for the region is supported by the analysis. In this context; an analysis and calculation model has been proposed with the parameters defined in suggestion form which is bordered with the boundary value conditions in the light of international and national data. In the current situation, development plans’ situation and the draft case, it is tried to compare the amounts of the green areas and to give an approach for the green area ratio per capita

Turkey's tourism policies in the period of planned development

The purpose of this study is to investigate the tourism policies of Turkey in the period of planned development which started in 1963. It is a descriptive study in terms of purpose and a qualitative study in terms of data. The data were obtained from secondary sources and analyzed using descriptive analysis technique. According to the five-year development plans and the Tourism Strategy of Turkey 2023 document, Turkey's tourism policies have been created economically. In particular, the first four plans have often emphasized the economic orientation of tourism and mass tourism. The fifth plan highlighted the diversification of tourism, while the sixth plan highlighted the participation of the local community in tourism. The seventh plan aims to meet the expectations of local people and tourists with a competitive and productive tourism economy. The eighth, ninth and tenth plans have emphasized that the investments paying attention to physical and cultural environment should be supported for spread of tourism all over the country and year. Moreover, in the last three development plans and Tourism Strategy of Turkey-2023 document, the participation of different stakeholders in decision mechanisms and focusing on the tourism types generating more tourism revenue policies have been adopted

ANALYSIS OF RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES FROM REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EASTERN ANATOLIA REGION EXAMPLE

One of the most fundamental problems of today's economies is regional development differences. One of the most important instruments for eleminating developmental differences is energy sources. Energy resources are divided into two parts,  nonrenewable and renewable. The danger of extinction in sources like non-renewable energy sources such as oil and natural gas has led economic structures to concentrate on renewable energy sources such as wind and solar. In this context, renewable energy sources have become important both in macro and regional development. In this study, the role of renewable energy resources in regional development has been analyzed in the case of Eastern anatolia region. The empirical findings of the study show that both Turkey and the Eastern anatolia region have significant potential in terms of renewable energy sources, but that they do not make enough use of energy resources

Učinak hranidbe različitim količinama proteina na biokemijske i proizvodne pokazatelje nojeva (Struthio camelus).

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different dietary protein levels on the biochemical and production parameters of ostriches. Eighteen adult, eight-year-old ostriches (Struthio camelus) (six male and twelve female) were studied. For the experiment the ostriches were randomly divided into two groups of 3 breeding pairs each (one male and two female) to be fed with 20% and 23% crude protein, respectively. The 20% crude protein group was fed layer feed (20% crude protein, 2900 kcal/kg ME) and alfalfa (ad libitum) and the 23% crude protein group with layer feed (23% crude protein, 2900 kcal/kg ME) and alfalfa (ad libitum) between May and September. It was determined that biochemical parameters of ostriches which were fed with diets that included 20% and 23% crude protein levels did not differ significantly, but a significant difference (P<0.01) was found in egg fertility ratio and hatchability of eggs between dietary protein levels. It was concluded that a high crude protein level in breeding ostriches had a negative effect on the number of eggs and hatchability of total eggs, and the results of the present study showed that the crude protein ratio was not required to exceed 20%.Istražen je učinak hranidbe temeljene na različitoj količini proteina na biokemijske i proizvodne pokazatelje nojeva. Istraživanje je provedeno na 18 odraslih nojeva (Struthio camelus) u dobi od osam godina i to šest mužjaka i 12 ženki. Životinje su bile podijeljene u dvije skupine s po tri uzgojna para (jedan mužjak i dvije ženke). Prva skupina je dobivala 20% sirovog proteina, 2900 kcal/kg ME i lucerku (ad libitum), a druga 23% sirovog proteina, 2900 kcal/kg ME i lucerku (ad libitum) u razdoblju od svibnja do rujna. Ustanovljeno je da se biokemijski pokazatelji nojeva obje skupine nisu značajno razlikovali. Značajne razlike (P< 0,01) bile su utvrđene u oplođenosti i leživosti jaja u odnosu na sadržaj proteina. Zaključeno je da davanje velikih količina sirovog proteina rasplodnim nojevima negativno utječe na ukupan broj i leživost jaja te da količina sirovog proteina ne bi smjela biti veća od 20%

An investigation on determining optimum wall ratio–cost relationship of shear walled reinforced concrete buildings

Reinforced concrete walls are very efficient structural elements in terms of carrying the lateral loads that are expected to affect the structures during the service of the buildings. These elements, which are not used for economic reasons in buildings designed in areas with low seismic hazard, can actually provide a significant increase in performance with a very small increase in construction cost. In this study, a total of 9 building models have been created and the relationship between optimum reinforced concrete wall ratio and cost on these buildings has been investigated. The design and analysis of the models were carried out according to the criteria specified in TSC 2018. Three different structural systems specified in TSC 2018 were used in the designed models. These structural systems used; RC frame structures, RC wall-frame structures and RC wall structures. These structures were analyzed by Response Spectrum Method which is linear analysis method and base shear forces were obtained. Then, push-over analysis, which is a nonlinear analysis method, was applied to obtain the base shear forces that the structure can actually carry. After the analysis, the quantities of materials to be used for the construction of the structural systems of the models were calculated and current manufacturing prices and rough costs were calculated. In order to compare the obtained costs with the structural performances, nonlinear shear forces and linear shear forces ratios were calculated and the over strength factors were calculated for each model. In the light of the data obtained from the studies in the literature, when the over strength factors and cost values are examined together, it is concluded that the optimum design for the conditions specified in TSC 2018 will be provided with the RC wall ratio between 0.001 - 0.0016. It is concluded that lateral load carrying capacity of construction increases up to 650% by increasing the construction cost by 17% for the designed models

Methods: Forty-four cases diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction between 24 and 34 weeks of gestation were included in the study as the study group and 44 cases in the similar weeks of gestation and growing consistent with the week of gestation were included in the study as the control group. The fetal adrenal gland sizes of the cases were examined in the transverse sections of fetal abdomens. Results: No significant difference was found between the study and control groups in terms of maternal age, gravida, parity, body mass index and the week of gestation during diagnosis (p>0.05). The zscores of total length, total width and cortex width of the fetal adrenal glands were higher in the study group than the control group which was statistically significant (p<0.001). The z-scores of the medulla width of the fetal adrenal glands were lower in the study group than the control group which was statistically significant (p<0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of the z-scores of the medulla length of the fetal adrenal glands (p>0.05). Conclusion: It is possible to consider that the changes observed in the fetal adrenal gland sizes of the cases diagnosed with intrauterine growth restriction is a result of chronic hypoxia associated with uteroplacental failure and a component of poor fetal programming associated with the long-term poor health outcomes

A Trust-based Recommender System over Arbitrarily Partitioned Data with Privacy

Recommender systems are effective mechanisms for recommendations about what to watch, read, or taste based on user ratings about experienced products or services. To achieve higher quality recommendations, e-commerce parties may prefer to collaborate over partitioned data. Due to privacy issues, they might hesitate to work in pairs and some solutions motivate them to collaborate. This study examines how to estimate trust-based predictions on arbitrarily partitioned data in which two parties have ratings for similar sets of customers and items. A privacy- preserving scheme is proposed, and it is justified that it efficiently offers trust-based predictions on partitioned data while preserving privacy

Patient factors affecting COVID-19 vaccination in pregnancy: A survey study

Amaç: Gebe kadınlar, koronavirüs hastalığı (COVID-19) pandemisinde enfeksiyonun ciddi komplikasyonları açısından yüksek riskli bir grup olarak tanımlandı. 2 Haziran 2021 tarihinde Dünya Sağlık Örgütü, aşılamanın faydalarının olası risklerden daha ağır bastığı tüm gebelere COVID-19 aşısının yapılmasını önerdi. Gebe ve emziren kadınların COVID-19 aşısını yaptırması kendilerinin ve doğacak bebeklerinin sağlığını korumaktadır. Bu çalışmada amacımız, maternal mortalite ve morbidite ile perinatal mortalite ve morbiditeyi azaltan COVID-19 aşılarına yönelik gebelerimizin düşünce ve tutumlarını araştırmaktır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya katılan 482 gebeye yapılan ankette, COVID-19 aşıları hakkında kimden ve nereden bilgi aldıkları, aşı olmak istememe nedenleri, diğer aşılara bakış açıları sorgulandı. Bulgular: Gebelerin %51,5’i aşı olmayı kabul etti. Bu oran, amaçlanan genel toplum aşılama oranına göre düşüktür. Gebelerin, kendilerinin veya ailelerinden bir kişinin COVID-19 enfeksiyonu geçirmesi veya bu enfeksiyon nedeniyle bir yakınının kaybedilmiş olması aşıyı kabul etme kararını etkilemiyordu. Aşıyı kabul eden gebeler, COVID-19 enfeksiyonunu geçirmesi halinde kendi sağlığının olumsuz etkileneceğini düşünüyordu. Bu grup gebelerin doğum sonrası bebeğine aşılarını yaptırma ve eşlerinin aşılı olma oranı yüksekti. Aşıyı kabul etmeyenlerde, COVID-19 aşısına güvenmeme oranı anlamlı olarak yüksekti. Bu grupta aynı zamanda doğum sonrası aşıyı kabul etmeme ve doğum sonrası bebeğine aşı yaptırmama oranı da yüksekti. Sonuç: Aşıyı reddeden grup aşı hakkında bilgiyi çoğunlukla yakın çevrelerinden ve ailelerinden, aşıyı kabul eden grup ise bilgiyi çoğunlukla doktorlarından almıştı. Bu nedenle gebelikte aşı uygulamaları ve etkileri ile ilgili bilgilerin, güncellenmiş doğru bilgilerle donanmış sağlık çalışanları tarafından verilmesinin daha etkili olacağını düşünüyoruz. Riskli bir grup olan gebelerin bakış açısının değerlendirilmesinin ve aşı reddi ile aşı tereddütü nedenlerinin sorgulanmasının, COVID-19 enfeksiyonu ile mücadelede önemli bir adım olacağını düşünüyoruz.Objective: Pregnant women are defined as a high-risk group in terms of severe complications of COVID-19 infection. Vaccination of them not only protects their own health but also that of their unborn child. In this study, we aim to investigate the opinion and behavior of pregnant women in regards to COVID-19 vaccines which reduce both maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity. Method: Four hundred and eighty-two pregnant women were surveyed on their source of information on COVID-19 vaccines, reasoning behind refusal of vaccination and their general opinion on vaccines. Results: About 51.50% of the participants agreed to get vaccinated during their pregnancy. Self or family history or loss of a relative from COVID-19 infection was not shown to affect the decision to be vaccinated. Those who agreed on vaccination thought that the infection would cause greater harm than the vaccineitself; vaccination of their spouses and consent to pediatric vaccination protocols after birth were also elevated. They primarily obtained information from their health-care provider. In contrary, lack of trust in vaccination was stated as a reason in the rejecting group, they both refuse vaccination even after delivery and pediatric vaccinations after birth. They seem to obtain information on vaccinations from their close relations and their family. Conclusion: In our opinion, it is more effective for information about vaccination during pregnancy to be given by health-care professionals who have up-todate information. We believe that investigating the reason behind rejection and hesitation of COVID-19 vaccine among pregnant women is a crucial step in our battle with the disease
