The inflationary effect of the increases in crude oil prices: structural breaks dynamic panel data analysis for selected OECD countries

Bu çalışmada; petrol ithalatçısı olan OECD üyesi seçilmiş 15 ülke için, 1960-2011 döneminde ham petrol ithal fiyatlarının enflasyon üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Analizde, herhangi bir ülkede meydana gelen bir makroekonomik şokun diğer ülkeleri de etkileyeceği varsayımını yani yatay kesit bağımlılığını dikkate alan panel birim kök ve eşbütünleşme testleri uygulanmış, seriler arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin varlığı tespit edilmiştir. Uzun Dönem Eşbütünleşme Katsayıları Tahmin sonuçlarına göre ham petrol ithal fiyat artışları ve ekonomik büyümenin enflasyonu arttırdığı, ekonomik büyümenin enflasyonist etkisinin, ham petrol ithal fiyatlarının etkisinden daha fazla olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.In this study the effects of crude oil import prices on inflation were analysed between 1960-2011 for the oil importing selected 15 OECD countries. The economic growth variable which is considered to be the descriptor of inflation was also included in the model. Panel unit root and cointegration tests considering the hypothesis that a macroeconomic shock happening in a country would affect the others, i.e. the cross sectional dependency were implemented in the analysis. As a result of the analysis it was found that there was a cointegration relationship between the series. The results of cointegration analysis showed that crude oil import prices and economic growth increased the inflation, and the inflationary effect of economic growth was higher than that of crude oil import prices

İşletmelerde beceri eğitimi takibi için yeni bir konum tabanlı görev dağıtım portalı

06.03.2018 tarihli ve 30352 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayımlanan “Yükseköğretim Kanunu İle Bazı Kanun Ve Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamelerde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile 18.06.2018 tarihli “Lisansüstü Tezlerin Elektronik Ortamda Toplanması, Düzenlenmesi ve Erişime Açılmasına İlişkin Yönerge” gereğince tam metin erişime açılmıştır.Yapılan araştırmada çoğu meslek lisesinin işletmelerde beceri eğitiminin takibi için herhangi bir yazılım kullanmadığı görülmektedir. Bu amaçlarla kullanılan yazılımlar da, mesleki eğitimin en önemli ayağını oluşturan okul-işletme işbirliğini sağlama ve devamlı hale getirme adına bir katkı sağlamamaktadır. Ayrıca meslek liselerinde işletmelerde beceri eğitimini denetleyecek öğretmenlerin çeşitli kriterlere göre görevlendirilmesini sağlayabilecek bir yazılım bulunmamaktadır. Günümüzde özel sektörde tüm iş süreçlerinin takibi amacıyla Kurumsal Kaynak Planlama (ERP) yazılımlarının kullanımının giderek daha fazla yaygınlaştığı görülmektedir. İşletmelerde, birçok modülden oluşan ve sektör ihtiyaçlarına göre çeşitli modüller seçilerek uygulamaya konulan hazır ERP yazılımları kullanılmaktadır. Kamu kurumlarında ise hazır yazılım çözümlerinin uygulanması zor olduğundan genellikle kurumun ihtiyacına yönelik ERP yazılım çözümleri üretilmekte ve uygulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ERP yazılımları ve okullardaki kullanım alanları dikkate alınarak, meslek liselerinde işletmelerde beceri eğitimi gören öğrencilerin eğitiminin takibinin sağlanması amacıyla konum tabanlı bir görev dağıtım portalı tasarımı gerçekleştirilmektedir. Aynı zamanda okul – işletme işbirliğinin geliştirilmesine katkı sunacağı düşünülen portal, okulların eğitim verdikleri alanlarda faaliyet gösteren ve iletişim halinde oldukları bir işletme veritabanına sahip olmalarını da sağlayacaktır. Çalışmanın birinci bölümünde çalışmaya neden ihtiyaç duyulduğu ve çalışmanın neyi amaçladığı anlatılmaktadır. İkinci bölümde ERP'nin ne olduğu ve nerelerde kullanıldığı ile ilgili bilgiler verilmiştir Üçüncü bölümde uygulamada kullanılan teknolojiler anlatılmış ve dördüncü bölümde de ayrıntılı olarak hazırlanan çalışmaya yer verilmiştir. Beşinci bölümde uygulamanın sonuçları ve geliştirme önerileri ile çalışma sonlandırılmıştır.The result of researches show us that there are few existing softwares used at vocational high schools for tracking internship of students at the companies. The existing ones used for this purpose, is not effective in providing communication between school and companies. On the other hand, there is not any software that automatically assigns teachers based on different criterians to track internship at companies. This work responds to this need also. Nowadays the use of ERP Softwares has been gradually increased for the purpose of management of all business processes. The proper off-the-shelf ERP Softwares which made up of various modules are used as per requirements in the companies. But in Public Sector because the off-the-shelf softwares are not easy to use, ERP Softwares are created from scratch as per institute requirements. By mentioning about ERP softwares and usage of them at schools, the track and management of the training of students based on a map-based portal design is created for the vocational high schools and companies. The portal is supposed to make a major contribution to the communication of school - company, at the same this system will provide benefit of having a company database for the schools of their education areas. In first phase of this work, it is aimed to explain why we need this work and what purpose of this work is. In second phase, definition of ERP and information about its usage area is given. In third phase, technologies used in developed software and in fourth phase the work is described in detail. In the fifth phase, the work completede with the results and suggestions

Which country after Greece? Sustainability of budget deficits in selected EU countries: A panel cointegration analysis with multiple structural breaks under cross-section dependence

The sustainability of budget deficits is one of the most important macroeconomic problems in countries. High public spending and insufficiency of public revenue are the main reasons for the collapsing of Greek, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Ireland economies. In this study, the sustainability of budget deficit has been examined for 17 EU countries by means of panel cointegration with multiple structural breaks under cross-section dependence, for the period of 1996-2012. At the end of the analysis; cross-section dependence was determined in these countries. Therefore, an economic shock that comes to one of these countries also affects the others. According to the long-run analysis, budget deficits of these countries are sustainable in weak form

Revisiting the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis in a tourism development context

This study investigates empirically an extended version of the Environmental Kuznets Curve model that controls for tourism development. We find that international tourist arrivals into Turkey alongside income, squared income and energy consumption, cointegrate with CO2 emissions. Tourist arrivals, growth, and energy consumption exert a positive and significant impact on CO2 emissions in the long-run. Our results provide empirical support to EKC hypothesis showing that at exponential levels of growth, CO2 emissions decline. The findings suggest that despite the environmental degradation stemming from tourism development, policies aimed at environmental protection should not be pursued at the expense of tourism-led growth

Ham Petrol Fiyat Artışlarının Enflasyonist Etkisi: Seçilmiş OECD Ülkeleri İçin Yapısal Kırılmalı Dinamik Panel Veri Analizi

In this study the effects of crude oil import prices on inflation were analysed between 1960-2011 for the oil importing selected 15 OECD countries. The economic growth variable which is considered to be the descriptor of inflation was also included in the model. Panel unit root and cointegration tests considering the hypothesis that a macroeconomic shock happening in a country would affect the others, i.e. the cross sectional dependency were implemented in the analysis. As a result of the analysis it was found that there was a cointegration relationship between the series. The results of cointegration analysis showed that crude oil import prices and economic growth increased the inflation, and the inflationary effect of economic growth was higher than that of crude oil import prices.Bu çalışmada; petrol ithalatçısı olan OECD üyesi seçilmiş 15 ülke için, 1960-2011 döneminde ham petrol ithal fiyatlarının enflasyon üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir.

F-18-Fdg Pet/Ct Findings in Differentiated Papillary Carcinoma of Thyroid and Determination of Metabolic Activity

DergiPark: 379076tmsjAims: In well differentiated thyroid cancers, FDG PET has a relatively low sensitivity. F-18 FDG PET/CT is an imaging method which is used before the treatment and in high risk patient groups with suspected recurrent disease. In this study we aim to determine the character of metabolic activity in differentiated thyroid cancer and in case of metastasis and to evaluate the findings of F-18-FDG PET/CT images in high risk patient group of differentiated thyroid cancer. Methods: The data of 79 patients who underwent imaging for staging or restaging and followed at Trakya Univerısity Faculty of Medicine from 2010 to 2015, were included in this study. Patient reports were analyzed retrospectively. Age, gender, size of thyroid lesion, presence of lymphadenopathy, other organ metastases (lung, liver, brain, bone) were included in the study. Results: The findings of 79 patients (29 male, 50 female) with papillary differentiated thyroid cancer were included in the analyses. The mean age of participants was 51±15 years. 14 patients (18%) were evaluated as normally. Recurırent disease was detected in the thyroid gland of 10 patients (13%) (SUVmax: 6.2±5.1; 2.3-19.3). In 54 patients (68%) lymph node metastasis was detected (SUVmax; 5.8±5.1; 2.1-24.2). 12 patients had liver metastasis (SUVmax: 5.7±3.9; 2.0-11.7), 12 patients had bone metastasis (SUVmax: 6.1±2.9; 2.2-13.9), 8 patients had lung metastasis (SUVmax: 4.3±4.5; 1.0-4.9) and one patient had brain metastasis (SUVmax: 10.2). Conclusion: Papillary differentiated thyroid cancer is associated with a tumor showing low glucose affinity, but it is understood that the tumor changes its behavior and gets metabolically active in the patients within the high risk group and in those with systemic metastasi

Fatty acid profile and sensory properties of lamb meat from males of five indigenous breeds

The objective of this study was to determine meat quality characteristics, fatty acid profiles, and sensory characteristics of 50 single-birth male lambs from five breeds: Artli (n = 10), Cepni (n = 10), Hemsin (n = 10), Karayaka (n = 10), and Of (n = 10). At the beginning of the experiment, the average age and weight of the lambs were 120 +/- 5 d and 30.7 +/- 0.68 kg respectively. After 60 d of intensive fattening, the average live weight before slaughter was 40.96 kg +/- 0.76 kg. All evaluations were performed on samples from the longissimus thoracis et lumborum (LTL) muscle. There was no difference between breeds in terms of the pH values of the hot carcasses, whereas the cold carcass pH values were higher (P<0.001) in Hemsin animals than in the other breeds. Meat chemical properties (such as organic matter; dry matter; and fat, measured as the ether extract), physical properties (such as cooking loss; drip loss; and water-holding capacity, WHC), and instrumental values (such as colour, L* and b* values, chewiness, hardness, and resilience) were significantly affected by breed differences. Additionally, the differences between breeds were found to be significant in terms of the fatty acid composition and the evaluation of organoleptic properties, such as sensory characteristics, flavour, and juiciness of cooked (boiled or roasted) meat. The results show that lamb meat's physical, chemical, and sensory properties vary by breed. The differences found in the composition and presence of meat fatty acids between and within breeds can be used as a source of variation for future genetic improvement strategies

Simulated Patient Practices in Psychiatry and Communication Training

One of the effective methods of teaching to earn cognitive and psychomotor behaviors for students is interactive methods in which they actively participate in learning process. Simulated/standardized patient can be used in simulation application which is one type of the interactive methods. The simulant patient consists of those who have been trained to act and display the real patient scenario. The simulant patient provides a safe learning environment based on experience in virtual or laboratory environment prior to the actual patient environment for students. This application helps students to increase the level of knowledge and skills, their self adequacy, their motivation and their safety, reduce their level of anxiety and improve their clinical decision making skills. The aim of this article is to briefly review simulated patient practices in communication training and psychiatry
