Adverse effects of Interbank funds on bank efficiency: evidence from Turkish banking sector

This paper investigates the relationship between interbank funds and efficiencies is for the commercial banks operating in Turkey between 2001-2006. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is executed to find the efficiency scores of the banks for each year, and fixed effects panel data regression is carried out, with the efficiency scores being the response variable. It is observed that interbank funds (ratio) has negative effects on bank efficiency, while bank capitalization and loan ratio have positive, and profitability has insignificant effects. Our study serves as an illustrative evidence that interbank funds can have adverse effects in an emerging market

Altınkum kumsalında (Kuzey Kıbrıs) yeni bir geç holosen eolinit bulgusu

In this study, we investigated the main depositional characteristics and obtained Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) ages of coastal eolianite on the north coast of Cyprus, where this occurrence had not previously been recorded. Based on EDX/SEM and XRD data and field observations, the studied eolianite that crops out between elevations of 1 m and 14 m a.s.l. is made up predominantly of quartz grains, most of which consist of medium- to fine-grained sand. The rock comprises aragonite, calcite and quartz with lesser amounts of bornite and hematite as accessory minerals. OSL ages indicated that the initial deposition of eolianite sands took place at 1.51 +/- 0.21 ka years ago.Bu çalışmada, daha önce bu konuda bir bulgunun kaydedilmediği Kuzey Kıbrıs kıyılarında tespit edilen kıyı eolinitinin başlıca birikim özellikleri ve Işık Uyarımlı Lüminesans yaş verileri araştırıldı. EDX/SEM ve XRD verileri ve arazi gözlemlerine göre deniz seviyesinden itibaren 1−14 m yükseltiler arasında yüzeyleyen eolinitte orta-ince kum boyutundaki kuvars taneleri egemendir. Kayaç aragonit, kalsit ve kuvars dışında az oranda bornit ve hematit içerir. OSL yaşları Eolinit kumlarının ilk birikim yaşının günümüzden 1.51±0.21 bin yıl önce biriktiğini göstermektedir.Publisher's Versio

Arıburnu yalıtaşının (Gelibolu Yarımadası, Türkiye) kökeni ve yaşı üzerine

The beachrock formation on the Ariburnu coast situated in the Gelibolu Peninsula has been studied by field observation, thin-section interpretation, physicochemical analyses including ICP-AES and SEM/EDS, and OSL dating. These analyses reveal the presence of different amounts of major (Si, Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Al and Na) and trace elements within the beachrock cement with Si (36.2%) and Ca (32.68%) dominating the overall composition. Beachrocks composed of highly-fractured and friable beds reach a total thickness of 80 cm extending from + 60 cm at the uppermost level down to-1 m at their most seaward extent and grade from conglomerate to lithic arkose in vertical section. The total amount of CaCO(3) ranges between 59.08% and 36% and the cement consists of high-Mg calcite based on EDS analysis. From SEM examination, four main morphologies were identified in cement material: (1) micritic coatings, (2) cryptocrystalline pore-filling cement, (3) meniscus cement and (4) microbial cement and suggest the presence of marine phreatic conditions with the exception of meniscus bridges, which imply that cementation may have been dominated by carbonate-rich meteoric waters at any successive stage of cementation. Five buried beachrock samples under unconsolidated beach sand were sampled for Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating and show that the minimum and maximum ages of beachrock are 1.42 +/- 0.20 ka and 2.28 +/- 0.28 ka BP, respectively.Bu çalışmada Gelibolu Yarımadası’nda, Arıburnu kıyılarındaki yalıtaşı oluşumu arazi verileri, ince kesit yorumlamaları, ICP-AES, EDS ve SEM analizleri ve OSL yaşlandırması ile ele alındı. Analizler yalıtaşı çimentosu içinde Si, Ca, Mg, K, Fe, Al ve Na gibi ana ve iz elementlerin nispeten farklı oranlarda bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Bileşimde Si (36.2%) ve Ca (32.68%) egemendir. Yalıtaşları bol kırıklı ve kırılgan, toplam 80 cm tabaka kalınlığına sahip olup, en yüksek seviyede +60 cm’den deniz içinde –1 m’ye kadar takip edilirler. Düşey kesitte çakıltaşlarından litik arkoza geçişlidirler. Toplam CaCO3 miktarı 59.08% ve 36% arasında değişir. EDS analizlerine gore çimento maddesi yüksek magnezyum kalsittir. SEM analizlerine göre çimento maddesinde 4 ana morfoloji tanımlanmıştır; (1) mikritik tabakalar, (2) kriptokristalin boşluk dolgusu çimento, (3) menisküs çimento ve (4) mikrobial çimento. Bu çimentolar, çimentolanmanın izleyen bir devresinde karbonat bakımından zengin meteorik sularca meydana getirildiğini gösteren menisküs çimento hariç, denizel freatik koşullarda geliştiğini göstermektedir. Kıyı çizgisi gerisindeki plaj kumları altından çıkarılan 5 örneğin ‘optik uyarımlı ışınım tekniği (OSL)’ yöntemi ile yaşlandırması yapıldı. Analizler yalıtaşının oluşum yaşı için minimum 1.42±0.20 bin yıl ve maksimum 2.28±0.28 bin yıl yaşlarını vermektedir.Publisher's Versio

The History of Geomorphology Science in the Turkey (1915-2016)

If the qualities of the geomorphology analyses that develops as one of the sub-disciplines of physical geography parallel to the Geography of Turkey in our country from the foundation of our republic to the day, it is understood that the three branches of development that differ from each other in order to attain the present state of this branch of science: (1) Pre-Modern Geomorphology Period (Before 1933), (2) The Establishment and Organization of Modern Geomorphology and the Period of Ascension (1933-1999), (3) Computer Age: Periods of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems Applications (2000-2016). In this article, the processes that emerged during these periods and periods mentioned above, the artifacts that emerged, and the academicians and researchers who occurred them, were elaborated and tried to be explained due to the History of Development of Geomorphology in Turkey. This study, as seen in the following bibliography, we are pleased to announce that we will be able to write our article in 2010 ("Geomorphology Researches in Turkey (19232010)" published by TUBA (Turkish Academy of Sciences) in 2012 (Ertek, 2012)
