The Financial Performance-Corporate Reputation Nexus in Turkey in the Institutional Theory Context

The scholars who indicate the institutional quality as one of main sources of economic growth state that any endeavor of companies increasing production and employment are no longer sufficient for sustainable growth. Therefore, economies need intangible assets such as corporate reputation (CR). CR entirely depends on stakeholders’ perception. In this study, we investigate the potential linkage between CR and financial performances of companies, which can affect the stakeholders’ perception, in Turkey between 2006 and 2016. The results show that any increase in companies’ assets fosters the perceptions of stakeholders in next period while a raise in indebtedness causes worse reputation

The behaviour of roof gable walls under the effect of earthquake load

In this study, the effect of earthquake loads on roof gable walls and the behaviours of these roof gable walls are investigated. In preparation of the study, two experiments on cradle roof system which gets and does not get any loads off the roof members were carried out in all. The experiments were performed on the shaking table in Earthquake Research Department of General Directorate of Disaster Affairs. Through the experiments, some considerable results were obtained on the behaviours of roof gable walls under the effect of horizontal dynamic loads. The results obtained at the end of these examinations are given and discussed. Furthermore, suggestions to make the brick gable walls more reliable against the loads of earthquake are given. When the results of the experiments were generally taken into consideration, it was realized that the gable walls in both roof systems would partly or completely collapse even under the effect of a little horizontal dynamic load

INVESTIGATION OF SHEAR BEHAVIOR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS UNDER SIMPLE AND FIXED SUPPORT CONDITIONS

Many experimental studies were carried out to research about reinforced concrete beams, which are an important part of the structural bearing system. In these studies, simple support conditions were generally taken into consideration. However, it is known that the support zones of beams in reinforced concrete buildings are closer to the fixed support conditions. In this study, the effect of the change of support conditions in reinforced concrete beams on the beam shear behavior was examined. For this purpose, 4 full-scale reinforced concrete beam elements were tested on a 4 point loading mechanism. Two of these specimens were tested with simple support and two with fixed support. In order to determine the behavior of the test elements, load-displacement curves were drawn, stiffness and energy consumption capacities were determined and cracks formed during the test were examined. When the test results were examined, it was found that the behavior of the fixed supported specimens were quite different from the ones of the simple supported specimens

Dynamiques épilinguistiques d’apprenants du secondaire général ivoirien sur les langues vivantes étrangères

Résumé : Cette étude, inscrite dans le double champ de la sociolinguistique et de la didactique des langues-cultures, a pour objectif de décrire les représentations linguistiques des apprenants du secondaire général ivoirien à partir de leurs discours épilinguistiques sur les langues vivantes étrangères apprises à l’école. Dans une approche quantitative et qualitative, nous tentons de répondre au moyen d’un questionnaire et d’un entretien semi-directif à ces questions : Quelles sont les représentations linguistiques des apprenants sur les langues vivantes étrangères apprises dans l’institution scolaire ivoirienne ? Quel est l’impact de ces représentations sur l’apprentissage de ces langues ? Les discours épilinguistiques ont été obtenus dans trois établissements secondaires. Les résultats permettent de se rendre compte du contraste saisissant entre les représentations linguistiques positives des apprenants sur les langues vivantes étrangères et leur motivation à les apprendre. Bien que leur conscience disciplinaire soit claire, les difficultés d’apprentissage et quelquefois certaines pratiques enseignantes sont loin de leur faciliter la tâche.   Mots-clés : Côte d’Ivoire, enseignement-apprentissage, langues vivantes étrangères, représentations linguistiques
