Adaptive Re-use of Medieval Caravanserais in Central Anatolia
(GANGEMI EDITORE S P A, PIAZZA SAN PANTALEO 4, ROMA, 00186, ITALY, 2019) Yoney, Nilufer Baturayolu; Asiliskender, Burak; Urfalioglu, Nur; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
Kayseri, located at the junction of two major trade routes from northeast to southwest and from southeast to northwest, has been a commercial center for at least 4,000 years. The 23,500 tablets found at the Assyrian trade colony in Kanesh-Karum dating around 2,000 BCE and located 20km from the modern city provide ample proof. The great number and relevant size of Medieval caravanserais around the city as well as commercial buildings at the center indicate that this importance continued. Some of these caravanserais are already in use, albeit with inadequate architectural preservation measures while others are abandoned and/or partially destroyed. Indeed, the preservation, restoration and adaptive re-use of Medieval buildings is a major problematic, bringing out issues and interventions related to lacunae and reintegration, liberation or clearance of additions, structural strengthening with traditional/contemporary technologies, partial reconstruction, consolidation, cleaning and conservation of original building materials, and preventive maintenance. This paper aims to consider the possible presentation and adaptive re-use of Seljukid caravanserais over and inventory of accessible and at least partially preserved examples, focusing on eight case studies from the late 12th and 13th centuries: Karatay Han (1240), Tuzhisar Sultan Han (1232-1236), Eshab-i Kehf Han (before 1235), Cirgalan Han, Saruhan, Agzikarahan (1231-1240), Alayhan and Oresin Han.
Adaptive reuse of industrial heritage: Resilience or irreparable loss?
(Docomomo, 2016) Baturayoğlu-Yöney, Nilüfer; Asiliskender, Burak; Özer, Aysegul; 0000-0003-3161-9415; 0000-0002-4143-4214; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Baturayoğlu-Yöney, Nilüfer; Asiliskender, Burak
The restoration and adaptive reuse of industrial heritage buildings and complexes, which present structurally and functionally resilient shells, provide us with an interesting dilemma in theory and practice: made of hard wearing materials to house straining functions and to last as long as possible, they are also flexible enough to adapt to almost any new purpose as a container. However, the presence of original machinery and equipment as well as designs based on machine-buildings may reduce the possibilities of adaptive reuse to a museum, where the buildings exhibit themselves, retaining the social, economic, historic and public aspects of cultural heritage as documents. Although originally built on the outskirts of urban settlements, today most industrial heritage complexes occupy central locations in the metropolitan sprawl of major cities. If disused, they are considered obsolete brownfields by local authorities and citizens despite personal and collective memories that may be attached to them. Their conversion into new uses presents major technical difficulties that require expertise in design and implementation. This paper discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of the adaptive reuse of industrial heritage and inherent problems, focusing on the case of the Sümerbank Kayseri Textile Factory (I. Nikolaev, Turkstroj, 1932-1935), which is being transformed into the campus of Abdullah GUI University. The restoration, renovation and adaptive reuse projects for different components of the complex follow similar principles of preservation and sustainability while they are modified to fit the architectural and technological characteristics of each building. Thus, although conversive and easily adaptable, the preservation of industrial architectural heritage becomes a dilemma between disruption and continuity, which the architects have to solve going beyond the possibilities of mere building stock on the one hand and that of the museum on the other.
Addressing the Modern Regimes of Urban Spectacle: Revisiting the Ottoman General Exhibition of 1863 in Istanbul
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2022) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; 0000-0002-8434-7882; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem
One of the most spectacular events of the Ottoman experience of modernity was the inauguration of the Ottoman General Exposition in Istanbul in 1863. The ancient Hippodrome, which is one of the most prominent venues of the city and the setting of memorable celebrations and festivals for centuries, hosted the event and provided the visitors with the opportunity to become part of the modern regimes of gaze and spectacle. This article posits three observer roles to reveal the multilayered structure of urban spectacle in mid-century Istanbul, namely the sultanic gaze, spectacle of the ordinary citizens, and the mediated experience of the foreigner. To understand the particularities of each position, I utilize several visual and textual documents about the exhibition event. Though just a single case in Ottoman urban history, the exposition enables us to understand how the new manner of modern urban spectacle emerged during a spectacular public event in Istanbul.
Analysis of coronary angiography related psychophysiological responses
(BMC, CAMPUS, 4 CRINAN ST, LONDON N1 9XW, ENGLAND, 2011) Okkesim, Sukru; Kara, Sadik; Kaya, Mehmet G.; Asyali, Musa H.; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü;
Background: Coronary angiography is an important tool in diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, it is the administration is relatively stressful and emotionally traumatic for the subjects. The aim of this study is to evaluate psychophysiological responses induced by the coronary angiography instead of subjective methods such as a questionnaire. We have also evaluated the influence of the tranquilizer on the psychophysiological responses. Methods: Electrocardiography (ECG), Blood Volume Pulse (BVP), and Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) of 34 patients who underwent coronary angiography operation were recorded. Recordings were done at three phases: "1 hour before," "during," and "1 hour after" the coronary angiography test. Total of 5 features obtained from the physiological signals were compared across these three phases. Sixteen of the patients were administered 5 mg of a tranquilizer (Diazepam) before the operation and remaining 18 were not. Results: Our results indicate that there is a strong correlation between features (LF/HF, Bk, DN1/DN2, skin conductance level and seg_mean) in terms of reflecting psychophysiological responses. However only DN1/DN2 feature has statistically significant differences between angiography phases (for diazepam: p = 0.0201, for non_diazepam p = 0.0224). We also note that there are statistically significant differences between the diazepam and non-diazepam groups for seg_mean features in "before", "during" and "after" phases (p = 0.0156, 0.0282, and 0.0443, respectively). Conclusions: The most intense sympathetic activity is observed in the "during" angiography phase for both of the groups. The obtained features can be used in some clinical studies where generation of the customized/individual diagnoses styles and quantitative evaluation of psychophysiological responses is necessary.
Analysis of mosaic mortars from the Roman, Byzantine and Early Islamic periods sourced from Gerasa’s Northwest Quarter
(SPRINGER OPEN, 2024) Ball, Richard J.; Ansell, Martin P.; Su-Cadirci, Tuğçe Büşra; Baki, Vahiddin Alperen; Fletcher, Philip J.; Lichtenberger, Achim; Raja, Rubina; Wootton, Will; 0000-0001-6617-0924; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Su-Cadirci, Tuğçe Büşra
This study analyses and compares around 650 years of mosaic mortar production spanning the Roman, late Roman and Umayyad periods, at Gerasa/Jerash in Jordan, offering a better understanding of composition, structural features, and manufacturing processes. It assesses the value of optical and electron microscopy examination of morphological and textural features, pore structure using MIP, and composition studies using EDX, XRD, FTIR, TGA, and Raman spectroscopy. The study indicated high density lime adhesive was used compared to other mortars. Wood was used as a fuel when producing the lime and natural fibres were incorporated when manufacturing mortars. Aggregates were primarily calcitic with a small proportion of silica-based aggregates. Key outcomes of the study conclude that early Roman mortars were of highest quality, which was demonstrated through the careful selection of materials including different stone for lime and tesserae, and differences between layers. Late Roman mortars used the same slaked lime plus fibres and charcoal. Mortars dating from the Umayyad period also had the same higher lime content than late Roman, but higher porosity with fibres and charcoal. In general, the mortars showed slight differences in content and aggregate; different stone for lime and tesserae. The research attests to underlying traditions as well as changes in mortar mixes and methods according to context and time. The resulting data is contextualized within local and regional approaches.
Ankara’da Millî Bayram Kutlamaları: Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde Kamusallığın Performatif Biçimleri
(Koç Üniversitesi VEKAM, 2022) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; Kaymaz, Elif; Sezen, Öykü Su; 0000-0002-8434-7882; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem
Makale, Ankara’da Cumhuriyet’in ilk yıllarında resmî bayram kutlamaları bağlamında performatif kamusallığın oluşumunu incelemektedir. Bayram kutlamaları tek bir aktör üzerinden ve tek bir kavramsal çerçeve içerisinde değerlendirilemeyecek kadar karmaşık toplumsal pratiklerdir. Çalışma, bayram kutlamalarının eş zamanlı okunması gereken bir dizi sosyomekânsal katman aracılığıyla anlaşılabileceğini savlamaktadır. Dolayısıyla makalede, kamusallığın fiziki altlığı olan kutlama mekânları, kitlelerin kontrol ve yönlendirilmesini sağlayan sosyomekânsal kurallar dizgesinin ve kutlama mizansenin etkinliğini artırmak için devreye sokulan maddi, manevi kimi araçların oluşturduğu bir ağın parçası olarak ele alınmaktadır. Resmî bayram kutlamalarındaki kamusallığı tartışmak ve farklı performatif ilişkileri tanımlamak için üç ilişkili tema önerilmiştir. Bunlar, kitlelerin hareketliliğinin teşviki, teknolojik gelişim ve teknik sergileme, kurucu imgeler ve anlatıların farklı araçlarla dolaşıma sokulmasıdır. Sonuç olarak, birbiri içine geçmiş, birbirinden beslenen bu temaların, Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi’nde millî bayramlar aracılığıyla yeniden üretilen toplumsal rıza kültürünün ve ulus devlet inşası stratejilerinin törenler bağlamında açıklanabilmesine olanak sağladığı ortaya konulmuştur.
Architectural Restoration projects in metropolitan areas: the case of the Supyo Bridge
(SCUOLA PITAGORA EDITRICE, 2015) Polimeni, Beniamino; Piscitelli, M; 0000-0003-1935-8523; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Polimeni, Beniamino
In the last ten years, Asian metropolises have invested large amounts of money in urban renewal projects by encouraging large-scale environmental interventions that re-introduced nature to the cities and promoted a specific identity for the downtown areas. Among these projects, the restoration of the Cheonggyecheon River in Seoul is the most well-known case. The transformation of the river in twenty-nine months from an outdated highway into a multipurpose linear park deserves recognition as a pivotal project in modern urban design. The plan is an outstanding achievement that recovers the biological and social ecology of the city and demonstrates the keen ability of design at the urban scale to generate concrete transformation successfully over vast territories. As an example of a process of urban identity, the creation of this large-scale intervention evokes the historical legacy of the city and has been considered a step towards redeveloping the city's cultural heritage. The construction of a network of pedestrian pathways to connect the historic places and the restoration of the historic monuments are part of a cultural strategy characterized by a long debate of how to restore these areas. In particular, the restoration of two historic bridges Gwangtonggyo and Supyogyo was a highly controversial section of the plan as several interest groups voiced opinions on how to restore historical and cultural sites and their remnants and whether to replace the bridges or not. This article will examine the different restoration strategies designed for the Supyo Bridge ( Supyogyo) that has stood in the Jangchungdan Park since 1965 and, according to the main project, should be relocated in its original position.

Bidding for Olympic and Paralympic games, a tool for transportation investments and tourism? The case of Istanbul
(Routledge, 2023) Baş, Ahmet; Delaplace, Marie; 0000-0002-1674-1597; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Baş, Ahmet
Since the start of the modern Olympic Games, and more recently the Paralympic Games, urban development linked to this mega-event has changed: the mono-stadium model typical of the early modern Games has been replaced by the model of an Olympic district. Because the events take place across multiple sites, the Games are often associated with investments in transportation. The paper aims to explore how, even in the case of a failed bid to stage the Olympic and Paralympic Games (OPGs), bidding for the Games can give rise to urban developments. In particular, bidding to host the Games can contribute to the reinforcement of transportation infrastructure. This study draws upon the case of the Istanbul bid. The Istanbul case is analyzed from the perspective of the bidding process before and after the reference to the Olympic Committee. The study examines the changes in the capacity of the transportation and tourist infrastructure through the official reports, statistics and annuals, as well as related literature. The case shows how bidding for big events such as the OPGs can drive investment and directly or indirectly impact economic activities, in particular in the tourism sector, whatever the result of the bidding process.
A chapter in the modernization of Turkey: damming the rivers, claiming the natural landscape, and building of the Seyhan Dam in Cilicia
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2020) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
This article examines building of the Seyhan Dam (1953-1956) in Turkey. Both Turkish and American agents played significant roles for planning and implementation of the project during the Cold War era. The 1950s provided necessary conditions in Turkey for the rise of new actors and developments to facilitate transition from limited modernity, which had mostly manifested in urban areas, to a more comprehensive state of modernity extended to rural areas. This extension had irrevocable impacts on the natural landscape as well. By referring to some patterns of modernization, this article posits building of the Seyhan Dam as a significant example to demonstrate how state-led modernization extended its scope by means of taming rivers and opening of plains for agriculture in the Cilician (cukurova) region from late Ottoman to Republican periods.
Characteristics of Rural Architecture and its use in the çomakdaĞ Region: çomakdaĞ KizilaĞaç Village, Turkey
(Taylor & Francis Group, Vernacular Architecture, 2020) V. Betül Kurtuluş; Neriman Şahin Güçhan; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9768-6982; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Kurtuluş, V. Betül
Çomakdağ is a rural region consisting of five villages and six plateau settlements in the Beşparmak mountain range in Milas district, Muğla province, Turkey. The simple stone masonry buildings on the rocky cliffs and the indigenous lifestyle of the local people form unique characteristics of the region. The historic urban fabric is still visible, and the traditional lifestyle continues in the region. However, the population has been decreasing, and some parts of the traditional fabric have lost their local characteristics. This article presents the typical characteristic of the Çomakdağ houses that date from the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The aim is to introduce the rural architecture of the region and investigate the interactions between spaces and daily life. Moreover, physical interventions to adapt the houses to today’s needs in the Çomakdağ Kızılağaç village are explored through observations and interviews.
A conceptual process model for the sustainability of a healthy building
(Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture, 2016) Sarp Yalçin, Asutan; Balanlı, Ayşe; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü;
Healthy buildings may lose their healthy characteristics over time and due to changing circumstances during their usage phase, which may lead to biological and psychological health problems for their users. Thus a process model is required for buildings which ensures that the initial healthy environment is retained. This study therefore introduces a conceptual Process Model for the Sustainability of a Healthy Building. In the study, the sustainability of the healthy building and its criteria were determined by the help of the definition of sustainability and associated criteria. Then, the changes which prevent the building from sustaining its healthy status were introduced. Based on the events that lead to the loss of healthy building performance, the actions and functioning of the process model were created. Action steps were then composed and the relationship between these steps were established. As a result, the principal components of this model are determined as Achievement of a Healthy Building, Sustainability Assessment of a Healthy Building, and Sustainability Management of a Healthy Building. Application of the procedures in the proposed model can help maintain the healthy characteristics of buildings throughout their operational lifespan, thereby preserving the basic requirement for a healthy environment. © 2016 Istanbul Teknik Universitesi, Faculty of Architecture.

(GAZI UNIV, CENTER CAMPUS TECHNOLOGY FAC B BLOCK EK BINA, 2ND FL, ANKARA, 06500, TURKEY, 2018) Ilerisoy, Zeynep Yesim; Pekdemir Basegmez, Merve; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü
In this study, the place of movement concept in architectural design is investigated; the possibilities provided to the user by evaluating the varying potentials in architectural design have been discussed as a hypothesis. In this direction, movement concept in kinetic structures applied from the 20th century to today are examined. The paper depends on a qualitative methodology, which is a non-numerical method that depends on constructed cases in order to support research hypothesis. Relations, differences and conceptual partnerships between cases have been revealed by investigating the application points of movement and user participation in the design of these structures that is fast-spreading particularly. From the studied examples, it is determined that the surface movement is preferred, when the movement point is taken into consideration the facades are primarily used, and the most common movement type is the sliding movement. Afterwards, it has been revealed that the different physical properties of the movement and the possibilities that are provided change independently of each other. Even in many cases the movement is preferred due to multiple purposes. The most common purpose is adapting to environmental conditions. As a result, this study, which aims to strengthen the perception of architects, will set an example for the development of kinetic architecture.

Eğitim-öğretim ve araştırma-geliştirme; toplumların ilerlemesinde ve gelişmesinde vazgeçilmez bir unsurdur. Üniversiteler bu işlevleri en üst düzeyde karşılayan kurumlar olmakla birlikte, değişen sosyokültürel yapı ve ortaya çı- kan yeni ihtiyaçlar yükseköğretim sisteminde önemli işlev değişikliklerine neden olmuştur. İşlev değişikliklerinin yanı sıra önceleri sadece eğitim verilen mekânlar olan üniversiteler, bugün sahip oldukları sosyal, kültürel ve sportif yapıları ile aynı zamanda birer sosyalleşme mekânı haline de gelmişlerdir. Küreselleşme ile birlikte değişikliğe uğrayan yerel dinamikler üniversitelerin global, bölgesel ve yerel ölçekteki rollerini yeniden tanımlamış ve üniversitelerin topluma sağlamış olduğu katma değeri ön plana çıkarmaya başlamıştır. Üniversitelerdeki bu işlevsel ve yapısal değişiklikleri sosyokültürel yapıdaki değişim tetiklemektedir. Bu nedenle değişen bir yükseköğretim sisteminde sosyokültürel etmenlerin ve bu etmenlerin öneminin göz ardı edilmemesi gerekir. Bu çalışmada, sosyokültürel etmenlerin dünya yükseköğretim sistemini mekânsal yapıları ile birlikte tarihi süreci içinde ne şekilde etkilediği ortaya konulacak ve mevcut değişime bakılarak geleceğin üniversiteleri üzerine bazı değerlendirmelerde bulunulacaktır. Bu amaçla çalışmada ilk bölümde toplumların ve üniversitelerin geçirdiği değişim tarihi süreci içinde analiz edilecek, ikinci bölümde üniversitelerin mekânsal yapı ve biçimleri üzerinde durulacak, üçüncü bölümde sosyokültürel etmenlerin belirleyiciliğine vurgu yapılacak ve son olarak dördüncü bölümde mevcut durum ve eldeki veriler ışığında geleceğin üniversitelerine ilişkin bazı değerlendirmelerde bulunulacaktır.

Education and research are vital for social development and progress. The changing sociocultural structures and new needs have resulted in some important functional changes in higher education systems with a deep impact on universities serving these needs at the highest level. Besides experiencing these functional changes, the universities today have become spaces of socialization with their social, cultural and sports facilities, replacing their traditional spatial role of offering education only. The local dynamics changing with globalization have now reshaped the global and local roles of universities, highlighting the added value they provide to the society. Sociocultural changes trigger all these functional and structural changes in universities. Therefore, sociocultural factors and their importance should not be ignored in a changing higher education system. In this study, the impact of sociocultural factors with their related spatial structures on world higher education system will be analyzed within their historical contexts, and some suggestions for future universities will be offered considering the current changes. In the first part of the study, the changes in societies and universities will be presented within the historical context. In the second part, the spatial forms and structures of universities will be discussed. In the third part, the catalytic effects of the specific sociocultural factors will be highlighted and elaborated on. Finally, some suggestions will be made for the universities of the future in the light of the current situation and the data available.
Determination of Factors Affecting International Students’ Satisfaction Levels Using CHAID Analysis
(Journal of University Research, 2024) Ayten, Asım Mustafa; Göver, İbrahim Hakan; 0000-0002-4464-6204; 0000-0002-1258-0124; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Ayten, Asım Mustafa; Göver, İbrahim Hakan
Internationalization has recently been a core element for higher education institutions (HEIs) worldwide. Various components provide internationalization in HEIs. However, international students stand out from the others due to providing numerous benefits to host countries. Therefore, HEIs around the world seek to increase the number of international students and their satisfaction levels. This study, inspired from the importance of international students, seeks to determine the factors affecting the satisfaction levels of international students who study at a Turkish state university. To this end, an on-line survey consisting of 25 questions were administered to a total of 330 international students studying at Middle East Technical University (METU). Survey data were evaluated using the CHAID (Chi-Squared Automatic Interaction Detection) analysis. The findings of the analysis indicated that the international students’ implications, study degree and gender played a major role in their satisfaction levels. Considering these influential factors determined by the CHAID analysis will contribute to the internationalization strategies which is developed to attract more international students to HEIs.
Determination of the acoustical performance of multipurpose music classrooms
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022) Aslan, Ahmet; Oktav, Akın; Metin, Buket; 0000-0002-9212-4523; 0000-0001-7539-7776; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Aslan, Ahmet; Metin, Buket
It is important to analyse the multipurpose music classrooms (MMCs), where active teaching and music practice are held in the same space, with an eligible acoustical parameter set. In the current study, three different operational conditions (OCs) are introduced to determine such a parameter set, which includes T30, EDT, D50, C80, and STI. The aim of the study is to outline the acoustical performance of the MMCs according to the OCs. The acoustical performance of three MMCs located in three different schools is investigated. For the experimental component of the study, impulse response tests are conducted in the MMCs. The computational analysis incorporates the construction of 3D models of the MMCs. To cope with the epistemic uncertainties, a model update study is performed by synthesizing the experimental and computational outcomes. The results of the updated models are then compared to the regulations and the relevant studies available in the literature.
Diverse viewpoints on tactical urbanism in vacant lots: a collaborative design with young planner candidates in Türkiye
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2024) Görgün, Esra Kut; Kaya, İlgi Atay; AGÜ, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Mimarlık Ana Bilim Dalı; Görgün, Esra Kut
Urban design and planning require collaborative processes that integrate diverse user perspectives. Tactical urbanism involves small, temporary interventions in public spaces to meet daily needs through the collaboration of various stakeholders. This paper aims to foster tactical urbanism in vacant lots, emphasising the significance of incorporating diverse perspectives. The study, based on participatory action research, discusses the individual viewpoints of young city planner candidates assuming diverse roles across three themes: belonging, aesthetics, and usefulness, and to evaluate the results of two-method exercises applied in the Kar & scedil;& imath;yaka case study in & Idot;zmir. Participants, consisting of students from various universities in T & uuml;rkiye, expressed their individual opinions and collective viewpoints through the techniques of photovoice and six thinking hats, respectively. Comparing two methods for evaluating vacant lots within three themes of tactical urbanism demonstrated that the photovoice technique enabled students to search for meanings of spaces and express their thoughts through photos. Meanwhile, the six thinking hats technique facilitated empathy towards diverse perspectives. The findings underscore the essentiality of adopting a holistic approach to urban design that encompasses aesthetics, functionality, and inclusivity, integrating diverse opinions. Young planner candidates in this study acknowledged the importance of collaboration and diverse perspectives in urban design and planning.
Educating Masses: The Committee of Union and Progress Clubs and Schools in the Late Ottoman Empire
(Routledge, 2022) Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem; 0000-0002-8434-7882; AGÜ, Mimarlık Fakültesi, Mimarlık Bölümü; Tozoglu, Ahmet Erdem
This article examines the social and architectural context of an extensive building campaign in Turkey in the early twentieth cen-tury. The Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), one of the Second Constitutional Period’s prominent political and cultural actors (1908–18), commissioned club and school buildings for social outreach operations. Influenced by their European counterparts, the Committee’s protagonists believed that a social revolution could be accomplished by employing the education of the masses. Moreover, education was also essential to create a national identity for an Empire in a struggle. In this context, many clubs (for adults) and schools (for the youngsters) mushroomed in many cities simul-taneously. Accordingly, the architecture of new club and school buildings reflected societal concerns and provided remarkable examples of their kinds. The education of the masses and the use of social propaganda by state agents in Republican Turkey have been scrutinized so far. Still the origins of the social engineering projects should be examined to contextualize Republican period developments. Thus, this article examines the building and impact of the clubs and schools of the CUP in the provinces and constitutes a contextual frame for their formative role in Turkish modernization.
Enhancing Oil Rejection in PVDF and PSF membranes: The Role of SiO2 NPs
(WILEY, 2025) Senol-Arslan, Dilek; Gul, Ayse; 0000-0001-9639-2843; AGÜ, Mühendislik Fakültesi, Malzeme Bilimi ve Nanoteknoloji Mühendisliği Bölümü; Senol-Arslan, Dilek; Gul, Ayse
Oily water negatively affects both land and marine ecosystems. To combat this, membrane production can effectively treat oil waste and recycle over 90% of it. This study compares the influence of SiO2 nanoparticles on oil rejection in two types of membranes: polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and polysulfone (PSF). The SiO2 NPs are characterized by FTIR, SEM analysis, and zeta potential measurements. SiO2 NPs embedded PSF and PVDF membranes were characterized by FTIR, SEM analysis, contact angle, water permeability, oil rejection measurements, and recycling experiments. The results of the experiments showed that oil rejection reached maximum values of 92.2% for 2 wt% PSF/SiO2, and 94.1% for 2 wt% PVDF/SiO2 membranes. The experimental results demonstrate that the incorporation of SiO2 nanoparticles enhances the oil rejection efficiency of two distinct membrane types, exhibiting notable performance disparities contingent on the selected membrane material. This methodology achieves a recycling rate of over 90% for oil waste, signifying a substantial advancement in environmental protection and sustainable development. Consequently, the membrane production technique is regarded as an efficacious approach for the management and recycling of oil waste.
