Preparation, characterization and investigation of adsorption properties of chemically crosslinked acrylamide/citraconic acid/sodium acrylate terpolymers

Bu çalışmada, akrilamid monomeri ile birlikte yardımcı monomerler; sitrakonik asit ve sodyum akrilat kullanılarak, kimyasal çapraz bağlı terpolimerlerin sentezi, karakterizasyonu ve sentezlenen polimerlerin yüzeye soğurum özelliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Kimyasal çapraz bağlı akrilamid/sitrakonik asit/sodyum akrilat ve akrilamid/sodyum akrilat/sitrakonik asit polimerleri, çapraz bağlayıcılar olarak etilen glikol dimetakrilat ve 1,4-bütandiol dimetakrilat kullanılarak sulu çözeltide serbest radikalik polimerleşme tepkimesi ile hazırlanmıştır. Tepkimede N,N,N',N'- başlatıcı olarak amonyum persülfat, hızlandırıcı olarak tetrametiletilendiamin kullanılmıştır. Sentezlenen kimyasal çapraz bağlı polimerlerin yapısal karakterizasyonu Fourier Transform nfrared Spektroskopisi (FT-IR) analizi ile yapılmıştır. Şişme karakterizasyonu için akrilamid/ sitrakonik asit/sodyum akrilat ve akrilamid/sodyum akrilat/sitrakonik asit polimerlerine 25oC'da dinamik şişme testleri uygulanmıştır. Şişme kinetiği ve difüzyon mekanizması ile ilgili parametreler şişme çalışmaları kullanılarak hesaplanmıştır. iv Kimyasal çapraz bağlı akrilamid/sitrakonik asit/sodyum akrilat ve akrilamid/sodyum akrilat/sitrakonik asit polimerlerinin yüzeye soğurum özelliklerinin araştırılmak için Basic Blue 12 (BB 12) gibi bir boyarmadde ve uranil iyonlarını içeren uranyum asetat gibi iki model seçilmiştir. Kimyasal çapraz bağlı akrilamid/sitrakonik asit/sodyum akrilat ve akrilamid/sodyum akrilat/sitrakonik asit polimerleri, 25oC'ta BB 12'nin ve uranyum asetatın sulu çözeltileri ile dengeye gelinceye dek etkileştirilerek soğurum özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Deneyler sonucunda %21,70-78,91 oranında BB 12, %18,46-40,72 oranında uranil iyonu soğurumu saptanmıştır. In this study, it was aimed that synthesis of chemically crosslinked terpolymers by using acrylamide as monomers with citraconic acid and sodium acrylate, characterization and the investigation of adsorption properties of synthesized polymers. Chemically crosslinked acrylamide/citraconic acid/sodium acrylate and acrylamide/sodium acrylate/citraconic acid polymers were prepared by free radical polymerization in aqueous solution using ethylene glycol dimethacrylate and 1,4- butanediol dimethacrylate as crosslinkers. Ammonium persulphate as initiator and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine as accelerator were used in the reaction. Structural characterization of chemically crosslinked polymers was made with Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis. Dynamic swelling tests were applied to chemically crosslinked acrylamide/citraconic acid/sodium acrylate and acrylamide/sodium acrylate/citraconic acid polymers at 25oC for swelling characterization. Parameters about swelling kinetics and diffusion mechanism were calculated by using of the results of swelling studies. Basic Blue 12 (BB 12) and uranium acetate (for uranyl ions) were selected as model molecules to investigate adsorption properties of chemically crosslinked vi acrylamide/citraconic acid/sodium acrylate and acrylamide/sodium acrylate/citraconic acid polymers. Adsorption properties were investigated by interacting of chemically crosslinked acrylamide/ citraconic acid/sodium acrylate and acrylamide/sodium acrylate/citraconic acid polymers samples with BB 12 and uranium acetate (for uranyl ions) until equilibrium at 25oC. At the end of the experiments 21,70-78,91 % BB 12, and 18,46-40,72 % uranyl ions adsorptions were determined

Spatial evaluation of primary sugar factories in early republican period in Turkey

During the early republican period of Turkey, new industrial complexes were emerged through modernity project and modern architecture. One of this industrial complexes were the sugar factories with their production and residential buildings, which were particularly significant, both as quintessential modern buildings and as built manifestations of modernity project in Turkey. This study is focused on the architectural findings of the primary sugar factories built in early republican period in Turkey. As a case study, the primary/main four sugar factories, which were established at the first ten years of Republic; Alpullu, Uşak, Eskişehir and Turhal factories were selected. These factories have been the subject of limited studies separately so far. Therefore the present study investigates the role of primary sugar factories in the industrialization period, as a new architectural planning reflecting industrial city idea of modernism and their effects on the community of the cities. The research methods include field study procedures to identify and analyze them, with their site complexes, building materials and architectural elements that characterize the continuity of settlement identity. As a result, primary sugar factories in Turkey have characteristically simple form, small, variable in squares and well-designed buildings and their architectural complexes actually serve as symbols of social and cultural identities of their time. © 2017, Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

Savant Syndrome: Clinical and Neuropsychological Features

Savant syndrome defines the people who have severe developmental and mental disabilities but also have extraordinary mental skills which are missing in many people. Although general mental capacity is under average mental level, savant has excessive knowledge about one or more domains. It is accepted that as many as one in 10 persons with autistic disorder have such remarkable abilities in varying degrees, although savant syndrome occurs in other developmental disabilities or in other types of central nervous system injury or disease as well. Males outnumber females by an approximate 6 : 1 ratio in savant syndrome. Savant skills are limited to five general categories. These are music, art, calender calculating, mathematics and mechanical or spatial skills. Savant skills can also be divided into three as savants who have splinter skills, talented savants and prodigious savants. A remarkable memory welds to the special abilities determined in savant syndrome. Savant syndrome can be congenital or it can be acquired. Most often savant skills emerge in childhood, superimposed on some underlying developmental disability present at birth. However, acquired savant skills can also appear, when none were previously present, in neurotypical individuals following brain injury or disease later in infancy, childhood or adult life. Savant skills don’t depend on only rote memory. It is approved that an enhanced or spared ability to represent and manipulate highly organised domain-specific information. Various theoretic models were defined to explain the neuropsychological profile in savant syndrome. Interest in savants has a long history, stretching back to the early 18th century; nevertheless, the savant syndrome remains as much a mystery now as it did when it was first described. Given that many questions about the existence and nature of savant talent remain unanswered, it seems likely that research efforts will continue unabated

The conservation of modern architectural heritage buildings in Turkey: İstanbul Hilton and İstanbul Çınar Hotel as a case study

This article contributes to the conservation of modern architectural heritage buildings by emphasizing the retrofitting of their construction systems. Modern architectural heritage buildings in Turkey are crucial in terms of transferring not only the cultural identity of the nations to further generations but also architectural sustainability of its distinguished period. By time, where these buildings can have constructional problems with its original structural systems, proposing a new system related with new earthquake regulations is inevitable in order to conserve them. Because most of the buildings are under threat of being demolished. The purpose of the research is to evaluate existing modern architectural heritage buildings in terms of its existing structural system and to develop a constructional model for renewal of them. As a case study, two hotel examples in İstanbul as a modern architectural heritage is selected, one is Hilton Hotel and the other is Çınar Hotel respectively. Then, the architectural plans and sections of the buildings as a data has been collected through literature survey by content analysis. At the end, the model proposal has been developed for each hotel buildings according to existing structural systems. The proposed models can be applied to sustain the life of the hotel buildings with a retrofitted structural system. So, the paper tries to conserve/protect the modern architectural heritage buildings by retrofitting its construction via presenting a remarkable study of two hotel buildings. © 2022 THE AUTHOR

Unwelcome Guests: The Detention of Refugees in Turkey's "Foreigners' Guesthouses"'

 As European countries bordering the Mediterranean have introduced increasingly harsh measures to stem the flow of irregular migration across their frontiers, Turkey has become one of the main crossroads for flows of migration from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East into Europe. At the same time, as part of Turkey’s accession process, the European Union has stepped up pressure on Turkey to prevent the movement of migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees into Europe. As a result of Turkey’s efforts to limit irregular migration flows, thousands of foreign nation­als without travel documents, refugees among them, are detained while attempting to either enter or exit the coun­try illegally. They are primarily held in detention centres, which are officially referred to as “foreigners’ guesthouses.” Turkey’s Ministry of Interior (MOI) severely limits access to detainees in these facilities by international and domestic NGOs and advocates. Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Turkey (HCA), a leading human rights NGO based in Istanbul, has provided legal aid to refugees since 2004 through its Refugee Advocacy and Support Program. Based on inter­views conducted by HCA with forty refugees from seventeen countries, this report examines refugees’ access to proced­ural rights in detention, as well as conditions in “foreigners’ guesthouses.” It identifies gaps between reported practice and standards of treatment set forth in Turkish legislation and international guidelines on detention.Alors que les pays européens riverains de la Méditerranée mettent en place des mesures de plus en plus sévères pour endiguer les flux de la migration irrégulière à travers leurs frontières, la Turquie devient l’un des principaux carrefours des flux migratoires vers l’Europe en provenance d’Afrique, d’Asie et du Moyen-Orient. Dans un même temps, dans le cadre du processus d’adhésion de la Turquie à l’Union européenne, cette dernière a intensifié la pression sur les autorités turques pour empêcher la circulation de migrants, demandeurs d’asile et réfugiés vers l’Europe. Suite aux efforts de la Turquie à limiter les flux migratoires irréguliers, des milliers de ressortissants étrangers sans papiers, réfugiés parmi eux, sont détenus soit en tentant de pénétrer ou de quitter le pays illégalement. Ils sont pour la majorité placés dans des centres de détention, officiellement désignés « centre d’ hébergement pour étrangers ». Le ministère de l’Intérieur turc limite sévèrement l’accès des ONG nationales et internationales et des défenseurs des réfugiés aux détenus dans ces établissements. La Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly - Turkey (HCA), chef de file des ONG des droits humains basée à Istanbul, fournit une aide juridique aux réfugiés depuis 2004 grâce à son programme de défense et de soutien des réfugiés. Appuyé par des entretiens qu’a menés la HCA avec une quarantaine de réfugiés provenant de dix-sept pays, cet article étudie le droit procédural des réfugiés en détention, ainsi que les conditions dans les « centres d’ hébergement . » L’auteur identifie des lacunes entre les pratiques déclarées et les normes de traitement énoncées à la fois dans le droit turc et les directives internationales sur la détention
