(TUBİTAK, 2019) EL KHATIB, Mona; AGÜ, Yaşam ve Doğa Bilimleri Fakültesi, Moleküler Biyoloji ve Genetik Bölümü; EL KHATIB, Mona; 01. Abdullah Gül University
Akut myeloid lösemi (AML) çeşitli moleküler aberasyonlar ve sinyal yolaklarındaki bozuklukları_x000D_ içeren klonal hastalıklar ile karakterize edilen bir grup heterojen malignanttır. Hedgehog (HH)_x000D_ sinyal yolağı birçok kanserde deregüle edilen evrimsel olarak korunan bir sinyal yolağıdır. HH_x000D_ sinyal yolağı lizozomal degradasyon prosesi otofajinin temel regülatörü olan PI3K/AKT/mTOR_x000D_ aksesini de içeren diğer sinyal yolakları ile karşılıklı iletişim halindedir. Bu sinyal yolakları_x000D_ AML’de deregüle edilmiştir. Birçok çalışmada otofajinin AML için bir kaçış mekanizması_x000D_ olabileceği ortaya konulmuştur. Bizim çalışmamızda, HH ve otofaji yolaklarının farklı AML_x000D_ türleri üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Çalışmamızda KML hücresi olan K562 ve CMK, MV4-11,_x000D_ MOLM-13 ve NB4 AML hücreleri GLI1 inhibitörü GANT61 ve farklı otofaji modülatörleri ile_x000D_ muamele edilmiştir.MTT sonuçları NB4, MOLM-13 ve MV4-11hücre proliferasyonun GLI_x000D_ inhibisyonu sonrasında düştüğünü ancak CMK’nin diğer AML hücre hatlarına kıyasla GLI_x000D_ inhibisyonuna daha az sensitif olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Daha sonra, otofaji_x000D_ modülasyonunun farklı AML hücre hatlarının proliferasyonu üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir._x000D_ Otofajinin gerek otofagozom-lizozom füzyonu aşamasında gerekse otofagolizozomal_x000D_ degradasyon aşamasında inhibisyonunun ilaç konsantrasyonu ve muamele süresine bağlı_x000D_ olarak AML sağkalımını azalttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Otofaji modülatörleri ve GANT61’in_x000D_ kombinasyonunun MOLM-13 hücre hattı üzerinde sinerjistik bir etkisinin olduğu fakat CMK_x000D_ hücre hattı üzerinde sinerjistik etkisinin olmadığı gözlemlenmiştir. GANT61 muamelesinin AML_x000D_ hücre hatlarında otofajiyi artırdığı LC3II ekspresyonu ile western blot yöntemi ile ortaya_x000D_ konulmuştur. Buna ek olarak, kombinasyonun MOLM-13 hücresinde LC3II’yi artırdığı_x000D_ gözlenirken, bu oran CMK hücre hattında daha düşüktür. AKT proteinin ekspresyonu ilaca ve_x000D_ hücre hattına gore farklılık göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, HH ve otofaji sinyal yolaklarının_x000D_ hedeflenmesi MOLM-13 hücre hattı için umut vaatedici bir terapi iken, CMK hücre hattında_x000D_ benzer sonuçlara ulaşılamamıştır.

In the migration literature, there has been a shift of interest from studying exclusionary policies ofstates that result in the criminalization of ‘illegal’ migrants towards more subtle forms of incorporation.In this paper, I will examine such as migration regime imposed upon illegal Armenian migrant careworkers, which is characterized by the conditional acceptance of illegality rather than by strictpunishments and deportation. Within this context, Armenian migrant care workers are caught in a legallimbo of belonging and non-belonging. The paper argues that the terms of belonging and nonbelongingare traversable normative-legal categories negotiated by everyday actors in a way that oftencrisscross gender and class hierarchies. Migrant women could become more acceptable if they complywith certain gendered expectations and norms of work while at the same time could easily becomedeportable. At the same time, this article demonstrates that this legal limbo increases the genderedvulnerabilities and labour precarity in women’s everyday lives.

A literature review of_x000D_ acquisitions in terms of comparison between international and domestic deals is provided in this study._x000D_ Based on the literature, it was shown that international acquisitions differ significantly from domestic_x000D_ acquisitions in terms of motivations, outcomes, success factors, integration problems, information_x000D_ asymmetry, and diversification. The study also identifies new aveanues for acquisition researh. The_x000D_ acquisition paradox and motivation-outcome inconsistency are identified as major issues in acquisition_x000D_ research, and ways to deal with these issues including using benchmarking methodology, risk-adjusted_x000D_ returns, and examining motivations in different ways are provided. In addition, acquisitions by emerging_x000D_ market multinationals and private companies, acquisitions of state-owned enterprises, pre-announcement_x000D_ and negotiation stages are identified as understudied areas with great potential in acquisition research.
Do the Positive Aspects of Tourism Affect Hotel Staff’s Perceptions of Tourists? A Study in Antalya and Eskisehir
(İrfan YAZICIOĞLU, 2017) Emir, Oktay; Gazeloglu, Cengiz; Arslantürk, Yalçın; 0000-0002-7972-1980; 0000-0002-8222-3384; AGÜ, Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Temel Eğitim Bölümü; Gazeloğlu, Yalçın; 01. Abdullah Gül University
Tourism is a field of activity given importance by both the participants and the tourism investors. In addition to the environmental factors affecting tourism activities, there are economic, social and physical factors depending on tourism activities. As well as the positive aspects of these factors, there are negative ones, too. This study sets out to seek an answer to whether the positive social, economic and physical impacts of tourism affect the perception of tourist thought the opinions of hotel employees. The study data were obtained from hotels tourism establishment certificate in Eskişehir and Antalya in 2015. The total number of questionnaire form evaluated is 874. In order to test the relation among the variables under consideration structural equation model has been employed. The coefficients among the variables in the structural equation model are statistically significant. Considering the study on the whole, hotel employees have awareness of tourism and tourist concepts alike, and there is an inverse relationship between the social impacts of tourism on the perception of tourist in both cities. Besides, there is a linear relationship between the economic and physical impacts of tourism and the perception of tourist

This article reviews some of the contributions that the feminist ethics of care framework has made to the study of ethics. Although ethics of care framework has raised a successful critique of the masculunist bias inhering within the prominent Western moral theories, some feminist scholars have maintained a critical attitude towards care ethics because of its tendency to essentialize emotions of feminine caring. In reviewing these different feminist approaches to the study of ethics, the article argues that in thinking about the questions of war and justice in international realm, both care ethicists and its critique could be utilized for a more fruitful understanding of the ethical dimensions of our actions.
G7 Countries Unemployment Rate Predictions Using Seasonal Arima Garch Coupled Models
(2021) MUĞALOĞLU Erhan; KILIÇ Edanur; AGÜ, Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Ekonomi Bölümü; MUĞALOĞLU, Erhan; KILIÇ, Edanur; 01. Abdullah Gül University
Despite the unemployment data have been recently released as seasonally adjusted, seasonality may still exist in moving average (MA) or auto-regressive (AR) terms. This can be detected by searching for a regular pattern in auto-correlation function (ACF) and partial ACF (PACF) diagrams. Therefore, models that aim to forecast unemployment rates should consider their seasonal properties so as to obtain better mean equation estimations. Univariate models mostly employ integrated ARMA (ARIMA) or generalized auto regressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) models or any combination of them. Once the mean equations are structured better, GARCH estimations of variance equation is expected to perform better accuracy in forecasts. This study first examines the ACF's and PACF's of seasonally adjusted unemployment rate data in G-7 countries for 1995-2019 period. Then it compares the 4-quarter and 8-quarter ahead forecast performance of the seasonal ARIMA (SARIMA) coupled volatility models of GARCH in mean, absolute value GARCH, GJR-GARCH, exponential GARCH and asymmetric GARCH models. The performance of these models is also compared to SARIMA and MA filtered volatility models. The results show that seasonality should be re-examined even in seasonally adjusted unemployment data, since SARIMA models outperform ARIMA models in terms of out of sample forecast errors. Besides SARIMA-GARCH models provide better out of sample prediction accuracy.
Historicisizing World System Theory: Sugar and Coffee in Caribbean and in Chiapas
(Gaziantep Üniv. Sosyal Bilimler Enst., 2018) Balkılıç, Özgür; 0000-0001-6929-2548; AGÜ; Balkılıç, Özgür; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 06. İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi; 06.03. Sosyoloji
The world system theory has been developed during the 1960s and 1970s in order to explain the economic, political and cultural relationship between developed, developing and underdeveloped countries. The main assumption of this theory is that economic and political dynamics which have progressed from the late 16th century towards contemporary ages resulted in unequal and dependent relations between these countries. Consequently, while an advanced economy and consolidated democratic-political institutions emerged in the developed countries, the developing and underdeveloped countries whose natural resources and economic assets are being exploited by the core countries are subjected to a backward economy and politically unstable systems. However, the world system theory has not gone unchallenged; on the contrary, a considerable amount of social scientists accused it of being overwhelmingly functionalist. The main weaknesses of this theory are that it ignores the local Dynamics and it, related with the first point, reduces the lower classes to the passive recipients of historical transformations. In order to fulfill these gaps in the theory, several scholars, in an attempt to explain the expansion of capitalism in non-Western regions, focus on the local dynamics of commodity chains and labor processes in these localities. Following this criticism, this paper argues that the historical development of sugar and coffee production, both of which are the most important commodities of the world trade from the early 16th century cannot be explained ignoring the local dynamics and that the local aspect of labor strategies which are designed to keep the potential producers in the land and production process must be analyzed as an important factor in the historical development of the production of these two commodities. In doing so, the article will analyze the development of labor processes and strategies in sugar and coffee production in Caribbean in the 16th and 17th centuries and Mexico-Chiapas in the 19th century, respectively.

(Gazi Mühendislik, 2023) Bulut,Nurten; Hacıbeyoğlu, Mehmet; 0000-0002-1895-8749; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Bölümü; Bulut, Nurten; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02. 04. Bilgisayar Mühendisliği; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
In the face of the rapidly increasing population of our world today, researchers have turned to studies that use existing resources more effectively and efficiently in addition to searching for new resources in order to meet the rapidly decreasing needs such as raw materials and nutrients. The use of hydroponic agriculture, which is one of the alternative methods that can be used to meet the need for nutrients, which is one of the greatest needs of humanity, has become more popular day by day. The use of nutrient solution water instead of soil, the fact that it is not affected by weather conditions, that it can be applied indoors and that it can be vertically oriented are the characteristics that make hydroponic agriculture different from other agricultural methods. In addition, the lack of soil in this agricultural method brings with it the need for more observation and supervision. The aim of this study is to show that the observation and surveillance needs necessary to increase yield in hydroponic agriculture can be achieved using machine learning and deep learning methods. For this purpose, it has been observed that the efficiency of hydroponic agriculture has been increased in experimental studies conducted using five machine learning and deep learning methods. The deep learning method has achieved better results with 99.7% success compared to other methods.

Although industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) have become_x000D_ an important part of textile facilities in reducing environmental pollution_x000D_ problems, they also produce sludge and various emissions such as high chemical_x000D_ oxygen demand, color and conductivity which have serious negative impacts on_x000D_ the environment. One of the processes with enormous chemical consumption in_x000D_ industrial WWTP of textile facilities is the neutralization process, which aims to_x000D_ adjust the pH of the wastewater. Neutralization processes needed to be optimized_x000D_ in order to determine its overall environmental impacts and then identify the most_x000D_ environmentally appropriate options. The aim of this study is to compare the_x000D_ environmental impacts of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid, which are two_x000D_ alternative chemicals used in the neutralization process of textile facilities, using_x000D_ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach. The environmental impacts resulting from_x000D_ the use of these two chemicals proposed according to the Reference document on_x000D_ Best Available Techniques (BREF) Document for Textile Industry were revealed by_x000D_ the CML-IA method and the gate-to-gate method. According to the results, using_x000D_ carbon dioxide instead of sulfuric acid, the best improvement was in the abiotic_x000D_ depletion category with 92%, while the least improvement was in the_x000D_ eutrophication potential with 39%. No improvement was observed in the global_x000D_ warming potential and human toxicity impacts.

User ratings on items like movies, songs, and shopping products are used_x000D_ by Recommendation Systems (RS) to predict user preferences for items that have_x000D_ not been rated. RS has been utilized to give suggestions to users in various domains_x000D_ and one of the applications of RS is movie recommendation. In this domain, three_x000D_ general algorithms are applied; Collaborative Filtering that provides prediction_x000D_ based on similarities among users, Content-Based Filtering that is fed from the_x000D_ relation between item-user pairs and Hybrid Filtering one which combines these_x000D_ two algorithms. In this paper, we discuss which methods are more efficient in movie_x000D_ recommendation in the framework of Collaborative Filtering. In our analysis, we use_x000D_ Netflix Prize dataset and compare well-known Collaborative Filtering methods_x000D_ which are Singular Value Decomposition, Singular Value Decomposition++, KNearest Neighbour and Co-Clustering. The error of each method is calculated by_x000D_ using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE). Finally, we conclude that K-Nearest_x000D_ Neighbour method is more successful in our dataset.

(HİTİT ÜNİVERSİTESİ, 2016) Başbük, Musa; Eryılmaz, Aytekin; Coşkun, Sefa B.; Atay, Mehmet Tarık; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Makine Mühendisliği Bölümü; Atay, Mehmet Tarık; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 02.01. Mühendislik Bilimleri; 02. Mühendislik Fakültesi
I n recent years, a great number of analytical approximate solution techniques have been introduced to find a solution to the nonlinear problems that arised in applied sciences. One of these methods is the homotopy analysis method (HAM). HAM has been successfully applied to various kinds of nonlinear differential equations. In this paper, HAM is applied to find buckling loads of Euler columns with elastic end restraints. The critical buckling loads obtained by using HAM are compared with the exact analytic solutions in the literature. Perfect match of the results veries that HAM can be used as an efficient, powerfull and accurate tool for buckling analysis of Euler columns with elastic end restraints.

A growing body of literature reports structural, cultural, social, and political barriers making_x000D_ it challenging and stressful to integrate peace education in teacher education and in-service_x000D_ teacher education programs. To support peace educators in achieving what they stand for, this_x000D_ study proposes integrating wellbeing practices and approaches into the curricula. Drawing_x000D_ from the fields of peace education, educational leadership and policy studies and higher_x000D_ education, this study examines wellbeing as a potentially promising scholarly field to support_x000D_ peace education scholarship. For happiness and life satisfaction, wellbeing links a person's_x000D_ physical, mental, emotional and social health factors not just to internal factors such as_x000D_ optimism, resilience and self-esteem but also external factors such as income, satisfaction at_x000D_ work and social networks. In order to explore the ways wellbeing can contribute to peace_x000D_ education, we first expand on peace education as a controversial and challenging practice_x000D_ especially for practitioners in the field. Next, we discuss wellbeing practices as they relate to_x000D_ educational settings. Finally, we discuss that peace educators can be supported by wellbeing_x000D_ practices to overcome the degrading and demotivating effects of their practices.
Step by Step Design Procedure of a Distribution Static Synchronous Compensator (DSTATCOM)
(ÇUKUROVA ÜNİVERSİTESİ, 2015) Teke, Ahmet; Yoldaş, Yeliz; Latran, Mohammad Barghi; 0000-0002-9821-9339; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Elektrik - Elektronik Mühendisliği Bölümü; Yoldaş, Yeliz; 01. Abdullah Gül University
DSTATCOM is one of the power conditioning devices that is used to mitigate power quality problems in distribution systems. The overall performance of the DSTATCOM is strictly related with the proper selection of power circuit configuration and controller algorithm. The power circuit of DSTATCOM consists of dc link capacitor, inverter and passive filter. The control circuit of DSTATCOM consists of reference signal extraction, DC link voltage control, AC voltage control and switching signal generation. Compensating current reference signal is generally derived from the measured quantities by the use of the Instantaneous Symmetrical Component Theory (ISCT) and dq theory based method. A proportional integral (PI) controller is generally used to maintain a constant voltage at the dc-link of a Voltage-Source Inverter (VSI). Furthermore, by connecting a delta connected inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) passive filter at inverter output, the high order harmonics generated by the DSTATCOM can be easily and effectively eliminated. This study presents the design procedures for power and control circuits of 300 kVA DSTATCOM in detail.

(Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam Üniversitesi, 2023) EREN, Orhan; GERÇEKÇİOĞLU, Eyüp; BENLİCE, Esra; YILMAZ, Erkan; DURAN, Ali; 0000-0002-6260-2424; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; DURAN, Ali; 01. Abdullah Gül University
Recycling processes have gained great importance for both environmental and economic sustainability and_x000D_ development. A prototype system was developed using physical separations including size sieving and magnetic_x000D_ separation for the recycling of solid die soaps used as lubricants in industrial wire drawing processes. The chemical_x000D_ composition of the waste obtained after the wire drawing process was elucidated by using X-ray fluorescence (XRF)_x000D_ analysis and extraction methods. The results showed that there was 67% reusable soap in the waste, and most of the_x000D_ remaining waste was made up of metals. Parameters such as particle size, sieve pore diameters, shaking time and_x000D_ magnetic field strength were optimized and an industrial scale prototype recycling system was designed. Finally, a_x000D_ prototype recovery system was established. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), light microscopy,_x000D_ thermogravimetric/differential thermal analyzes (TGA/DTA), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF) and Fourier_x000D_ transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) were used for the characterization. 88% of the soap in the waste was_x000D_ recovered, and the soap obtained was successfully used in wire drawing process without causing any deformation in_x000D_ the wire. These findings clearly demonstrate that offered system design engineered solution has a great potential to_x000D_ become a way out point for the waste recycling gain in the recovery and reuse of lubricant powder.
