TÜRKİYE İMALAT SANAYİNDE İTHALATIN PİYASAYI DİSİPLİNE ETME HİPOTEZİNİN TESTİ: PANEL VERi YAKLASIMI

Dısa açılma ve rekabet arasındaki iliski “ithalatın piyasayı disipline etme“ hipotezi olarak bilinir ve ampirik literatürün yogun ilgisini çekmektedir. Oligopolistik yapıya sahip yerel endüstriler, uluslar arası rekabete maruz kalarak daha rekabetçi davranmaya zorlanır. Bu durum, fiyatmaliyet marjlarının düsmesine ve çıktı seviyesinin artmasına neden olarak, yerel firmaların piyasa gücünü azaltacaktır. Bu makalede, iki haneli Türkiye imalat sanayi verileri ile panel veri ekonometrik teknikleri kullanılarak disipline edici ithalat hipotezi test edilmis ve ithalat penetrasyonunun Türkiye imalat sanayi iki haneli alt sektörlerinde 1966-2001 döneminde, piyasayı disipline etmede önemli bir rolü oldugu sonucuna varılmıstır

The Relationship Between Energy Consumption and Economic Growth: Evidence From A Structural Break Analysis For Turkey

In this study the aim was to investigate empirically the role of energy consumption in economic growth for the Turkish economy. The data used include annual energy consumption and economic growth series from 1960 to 2008. We used aggregate as well as various disaggregate data on energy consumption, including, oil, electricity, coal and renewable energy. Our contribution is that we take a structural breaks modeling approach in this paper. In the literature, the Kejriwal cointegration test has not been applied to date. The main conclusion of the study was that Turkey’s energy consumption and economic growth has a positive relationship varying quantity with structural breaks. Keywords: Energy Consumption; Economic Growth; Cointegration with Structural Breaks; Turkey. JEL Classifications: C22; O13; Q4

Growth performance and some morphological traits of Honamli goat kids until weaning age in extensive condition

The aim of this study was to determine growth performance until weaning age of Honamli goat kids reared in extensive conditions in Turkey. Study was carried out with 75 Honamli kids (44 female, 31 male), kept at the Research and Training Farm of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Mehmet Akif Ersoy University in Burdur, Turkey. Birth weight of male kids was higher than that female kids and also birth weight of single kids was higher than that twin kids. Live weight in the 120th day of male, female, single and twin kids were 24.4 kg, 22.0 kg, 26.9 kg and 21.2 kg, respectively. Withers height, body length, chest circumference and nose length on the 120th day were detected as 61.6 cm, 58.4 cm, 59.2 cm and 18.4 cm, respectively in female Honamli kids. Same measurements were 63.9 cm, 61.7 cm, 62.7 cm and 20.0 cm for males Honamli kids

Etlik Piliçlerde Temel Refah Sorunları

In broilerchickens, selection and management practices that support growth have beencaused by selection, in terms of growth rate and carcass yield, and somewelfare problems. The main welfare problems in broiler chickens are caused bygenetic and environmental problems. We can classify high growth rate, diseases,contact dermatitis, skeletal problems and locomotor activity as geneticproblems, and stocking density, litter, air quality, light, feeding, feedmanagement and breeding equipment as environmental problems. The latest studyon the implementation of the 2007/43/EC directive on broiler chickens and thecare and management practices addressing welfare-health issues were reported inthe European Parliament council in 2018. The report found that controls basedon foot pad dermatitis monitoring and scoring in chickens were the mosteffective method for improving animal welfare. It has been reported that moretechnical applications such as ventilation, which particularly affect thewelfare of broilers, are still a problem. As a result; In order to improve thehealth of broiler chickens and the quality and biosafety of livestock products,the issue of welfare should not be underestimated and the most appropriatestandards should be provided. Turkey must be made as soon as possible solutionsto the problem of the welfare of broilers and standards. Otherwise, it mayresult in problems related to food safety, the integration of the broilerindustry to international standards, and a new obstacle in the export ofrelated products. This review was made to give information about studies on thepurpose of determining the genetic and environmental problems affecting welfareconditions in broiler chickens and bringing standards to welfare problems.Etlik piliçlerde, büyüme oranı ve karkas verimi bakımından seleksiyona tabii tutulma ile büyümeyi destekleyen beslenme ve yönetim uygulamaları bazı refah sorunlarının ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Etlik piliçlerde temel refah sorunları genetik ve çevresel sorunlardan kaynaklanmaktadır. Yüksek büyüme hızı, hastalıklar, kontakt dermatitis, iskelet problemleri ve lokomotor aktivite genetik sorunlar olarak, yerleşim sıklığı, altlık, hava kalitesi, ışık, besleme, yem yönetimi ve yetiştirme ekipmanlarını ise çevresel sorunlar olarak sınıflandırabiliriz. Etlik piliçlerde 2007/43/EC direktifinin uygulanması ve refah-sağlık sorunlarının ele alındığı bakım ve yönetim uygulamaları ile ilgili en son çalışma 2018 yılında Avrupa Parlamentosu konseyinde rapor edilmiştir. Raporda piliçlerde ayak pedi dermatitinin izlenmesine ve skorlanmasına dayanan kontrollerin, hayvan refahını iyileştirmede en etkili yöntem olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Özellikle piliçlerin refahını etkileyen havalandırma gibi daha teknik uygulamaların halen bir sorun olarak devam ettiği bildirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; etlik piliçlerin sağlığını, hayvancılık ürünlerinin kalite ve biyogüvenliğini iyileştirmek için refah konusu hafife alınmamalı ve buna yönelik en uygun standartlar sağlanmalıdır. Türkiye\u27de de en kısa zamanda etlik piliçlerin refah sorununa çözüm ve standart getirilmelidir. Aksi halde gıda güvenliği ile ilgili sorunların ortaya çıkmasına, etlik piliç endüstrisinin uluslararası standartlara entegrasyonunun etkilenmesine, ilgili ürünlerin ihracatında yeni bir engelin ortaya çıkmasına neden olabilir. Bu derleme etlik piliçlerde refah koşullarını etkileyen genetik ve çevresel sorunların belirlenmesi, refah sorunlarına standart getirilmesi amacıyla yapılan çalışmalar hakkında bilgi vermek amacıyla yapılmıştır

The British public atitude survey regarding inflation and interest rates

The importance of achieving the price stability objective consists in remaining the inflation expectations close to the inflation target in the medium term. As part of its price stability objective, the Bank of England has the task of achieving a 2% inflation target, measured by the annual change in the consumer price index. Regarding these facts, the inflation expectations play a key role in the household and business decision because the inflation expectations are very important for the wage negotiation, and because inflation expectations play an important role in household’s savings decisions. In this article we focus upon the Bank of England / GfK NOP Attitude Survey. The first section deals with some aspects as: the random location, the sample design, the selection of the respondents and the confidence limits for observed survey data. The second section debates the latest trends in household inflation perceptions and expectations. The final section summarizes the public’s attitudes to interest rates and the conduct of the monetary policy.price stability, inflation risk, inflation expectations

Great imitator — ocular syphilis

We examined a 44-year-old woman without any known systemic disease with a decreased vision of a month duration in her left eye. She had undergone left uneventful cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation elsewhere 14 years ago. On examination, her Snellen visual acuity was 1.0 (with the correction of –0.50–0.25 × 120) in the right eye and 0.4 (with the correction of +0.75–2.25 × 115) in the left. There was left hypochromic heterochromia. While the right anterior segment was unremarkable, there were small to medium-sized keratic precipitates, 3+ anterior chamber cells, a posterior chamber intraocular lens with an intact posterior capsule, and a few vitreous cells in the left eye. Fundus autofluorescence imaging revealed peripapillary hyperautofluorescence in the left eye, and fluorescein angiography revealed a marked optic nerve head and perivascular leakage at the posterior pole. The findings were not compatible with Fuchs uveitis, so the full infectious panel was worked out. Serologic investigations yielded the presence of syphilis, and the patient was treated successfully with systemic antibiotics. Our case demonstrates the mimicking nature of ocular syphilis and the importance of high clinical suspicion when reaching the correct diagnosis

Some effects of nationwide small ruminant breeding project under the breeder conditions on goat flocks and their owner

The nationwide small ruminant breeding project under the breeder condition has been started in the year of 2005. The project planned to solve some of the problems related with small ruminant breeding system. Especially, to find the solution for inadequate productivity, lack of organisation, insufficient collaborations, low education, and unreliable registration system were the main parts of the mentioned project. Project planned with sub-projects according to districts and breeds. At the beginning, project started with sheep flocks, and then goats were included. Local sheep and goats associations were involved the project. Project personals were chosen and educated according to project rules. Also, meetings were organised with the selected breeders and the breeders were informed about the projects and their duties. In our region we were examined the goat flocks from the year of 2011 to at the end of 2016. During the period of the project some increases on the live weights of the animals have been detected. Also, breeders directly or indirectly had education about their job. At the end of the scheme, some of the positive effects of the project have been observed on the lives of breeders, goats, collaborations and market situations.The nationwide small ruminant breeding project under the breeder condition has been started in the year of 2005.
