A research on the effect of global trends in Turkish kitchen furniture sector

Through survey results, this study evaluated global trends’ effects on Turkish kitchen furniture production. The level of knowledge and difficulties of catching up with and implementing developmental trends in the Turkish kitchen furniture sector has been seen as having a structure equivalent to world standards because the level of material and technological development has been determined by four criteria: consumer demand, housing plans, technology inadequacy, and material inadequacy. According to the results, findings in this framework, consumer demand was most influential (45.4%) in capturing and implementing enterprises’ trends. Evaluation results on kitchen furniture projects implemented by Turkish enterprises within the last 5 years showed that they mostly worked with models with one-lid views in cabinet-door applications (41.6%). As a result, world trends reflect the direct influence of Turkish kitchen furniture manufacturers on cabinet-door models and color preferences for kitchen units

A research on the preferences of material and size in the Turkish kitchen furniture industry

This study intended to investigate the interaction developing rapidly through the impact of globalization experienced in every field on the material and size preferences of the kitchen furniture sector. The results of the survey conducted on the Turkish kitchen furniture manufacturers were evaluated within the framework of the international kitchen trends. As a result it was seen that the most preferred kitchen area was between 8 and 11 m2 regarding the distribution of the kitchen areas in Turkey. A tendency of using MDF in the production of the kitchen cabinets was observed with 61.8% in relation with the body material preferred to be used in the kitchen furniture sector. The preferred body sizes of the kitchen cabinet was determined by considering the width and height preferences of both the upper and lower cabinets, the size of 61-90 cm seemed to be the most preferred sizes both for the upper and lower cabinets. According to the height, 72 cm size was found to be the most preferred size. While the most preferred size among the cellar cabinets was determined to be smaller than 60 cm, its height was revealed to be bigger than 200 cm.

Recognizing Students and Detecting Student Engagement with Real-Time Image Processing

With COVID-19, formal education was interrupted in all countries and the importance of distance learning has increased. It is possible to teach any lesson with various communication tools but it is difficult to know how far this lesson reaches to the students. In this study, it is aimed to monitor the students in a classroom or in front of the computer with a camera in real time, recognizing their faces, their head poses, and scoring their distraction to detect student engagement based on their head poses and Eye Aspect Ratios. Distraction was determined by associating the students’ attention with looking at the teacher or the camera in the right direction. The success of the face recognition and head pose estimation was tested by using the UPNA Head Pose Database and, as a result of the conducted tests, the most successful result in face recognition was obtained with the Local Binary Patterns method with a 98.95% recognition rate. In the classification of student engagement as Engaged and Not Engaged, support vector machine gave results with 72.4% accuracy. The developed system will be used to recognize and monitor students in the classroom or in front of the computer, and to determine the course flow autonomously

Bu amaçla, hızlı bir gelişim sürecini yakalamış olan Türkiye mobilya endüstrisi içinde, gerek üretim kapasitesi, gerekse ticaret hacmi bakımından en önemli alt sektörlerden biri olan Türkiye mutfak mobilyası sektörü üzerinden global trendlerin etkisi analiz edilerek değerlendirilmiştir.Trends and reflections rapidly developing with fhe impact of the globalization experienced in every area today also show themselves in furniture production and trade. Exposures arising from the trends are more apparent in the furniture industry compared to the other industries. The close relationship of furniture with fashion causes the impact of the trends to be seen easier in various areas from design to production technology of furniture, procurement methods to renewal and changing intervals. On the other hand, the developing technology and business administration practices oblige following up the trends. For this purpose, the status, production capacity and the trade volume of the Turkish kitchen furniture sector, which has gained a quick development process, are examined and the impact of the trends is assessed
