3D Printing and Logistics
(Springer Nature, 2022) Bayraktar, A.N.
3D printing is a production process. 3D printing takes place among the techniques known as additive manufacturing and is used in the market as synonymous with additive manufacturing, and even commonly 3D printing is used instead. When there are three elements as digital model, feed material and 3D printer, then the needed product can be produced at any time and at any place by 3D printing. This technique has changed the principles of traditional production as producing the parts separately and then assembling. In other words, the traditional way of business will have been transformed to a new style. 3D printing is a disruptive and a growing trend in the business. It is assumed that 3D printing will cause and economic effect as 230$ billion to $550 billion per year by 2025. Also the increase in enthusiasm of companies in trying and using of this technology supports this assumed economic effect. Worldwide trademarks as Mercedez Benz, BMW, IKEA, Ford have shared their experiences, productions and savings. Experiences with 3D printing have shown that its usage is beneficial. Some of the benefits gained by 3D printing can be defined as shorter lead time, cheap production, fewer stocks, elimination of assembling requirement, acceleration of design process, etc. Shorter lead time, fewer stocks and elimination of flow for assembling requirements point out the change in supply chain and logistics market. With 3D printing, it is possible to produce closer to the customer by minimizing inventory, transportation and handling costs. As a service provider, logistics companies should review their service infrastructure in line with the needs of their customers who will adopt these strategies. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.

A Diagnosis of Stator Winding Fault Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition in PMSMs
(2020) Selçuk, Rumeysa; Dogan, Zafer
Stator winding faults may cause severe damages in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) if not detected early on. The earliest fault detection in motors should be made during transient states throughout the initial starting period. A new approach based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and statistical analysis was presented for detecting stator winding fault by way of transient state phase current of PMSM in this study. Models based on finite elements method were developed for the PMSM representing the healthy and faulty states in order to implement the suggested fault detection method. Afterwards, transient state stator phase winding currents were measured for healthy and faulty states under nominal load in accordance with motor models. These non-linear current signals monitored were separated into its Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF) via the EMD method. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used for determining the IMF that most resembles the characteristics of the main signal. Statistical parameter-based feature extractions were carried out for the IMF signals determined for the healthy and faulty states. Fault and fault level detection were carried out successfully by comparing the obtained feature vectors. The acquired results have put forth that the suggested method can be used securely for fault detection in electrical machines especially for early fault detection.

A Numerical Method for Integration of a Fuzzy Function Over a Fuzzy Interval
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Temelcan, G.T.; Gonce Kocken, H.; Albayrak, I.; Kocken, Hale Gonce
A numerical method is presented for evaluating the integration of a fuzzy function (FF) over a fuzzy interval (FI) by combining the integration methods proposed by Zimmerman, which is known as the fuzzy Riemann integral (FRI) of type-II. In this study, monotonic increasing (or nondecreasing) nonnegative continuous FFs are considered for integration. In the proposed method, first, a fuzzy-valued function (FvF) is induced by a real-valued function (RvF) via extension principle and then each component of the triangular fuzzy valued-function, which is a RvF, is determined as a triangular fuzzy number (TFN) by integrating over the FI. The left and right components of fuzzy integral value are determined from the TFNs obtained by taking the minimum of the left components and the maximum of right components, and the middle component is provided using a ranking function. Some numerical examples are given to explain the methodology. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

(Yildiz Technical University, Fac Architecture, 2020) Gocer, Ozqur; Gocer, Kenan; Basol, Altug Melik; Kirac, Mustafa Furkan; Ozbil Torun, Ayse; Bakovic, Mujesira; Ozcan, Baris; Sıddıquı, Faizan Pervez; Torun, Ayşe Özbil
Not only do university campuses consist of a variety of social and educational buildings, they also create an integrated system with their outdoor spaces and furniture, recreation and landscape areas. Outdoors have the potential to create social interaction, rest and relaxation, recreation, exchange of ideas and a strong sense of ownership and belonging. Creating a common identity for social life by enabling people to communicate and socialize with each other is the most important function of outdoor spaces. However, although the rationality of external spaces is designed, it is possible to use other than what is expected in practice. The relationship between the external spaces and the building groups, the adequacy, the duration of use, the accessibility and the interaction of the physical environment should be examined with a holistic approach to understand the difference between expectations and reality. In order to identify user needs in outdoor spaces as a way to assess if human use and design intentions are in fact successful, post occupancy evaluation (POE) is recommended as the most significant advanced method. Unfortunately, although studies on the evaluation of indoor spaces have been increasing day by day, there is no comprehensive study of POE that can be applied to the outdoor spaces, especially in university campuses. In this study, a POE method which discusses the variables that affect the use of outdoor space and the interaction between these variables is introduced. The proposed method was applied in a suburban university campus and the results were evaluated in terms of outdoor use.
A Robust Hybrid Control Model Implementation for Autonomous Vehicles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2024) Al-Jumaili, M.H.; Ekşioǧlu, Y.E.; IBRAHIM, A.A.; Bayat, O.; Ozok, Yasa Eksioglu
This work presents a robust control strategy for controlling autonomous vehicles under various conditions. This approach makes use of two controllers to guarantee excellent performance and a few faults when the car is traveling. Model Predictive and Stanley based controller (MPS) is the name of the new control system. This combines the functionality of a Stanley controller with a model predictive controller. The suggested approach tries to address these issues and provides a high-performance control system. Utilizing the finest aspects of both controllers and attempting to improve the other, this hybrid approach to integrating two well-known controllers provides advantages. The MPS is put to the test on straight and curvy roads in a variety of scenarios for both path-following and vehicle control. This controller has demonstrated excellent performance and adaptability to handle various autonomous driving conditions. When the findings are compared to earlier controller kinds, the suggested system performs better. © 2024 IEEE.
A Solution Algorithm for Finding the Best and the Worst Fuzzy Compromise Solutions of Fuzzy Rough Linear Programming Problem with Triangular Fuzzy Rough Number Coefficients
(Springer Nature, 2023) Temelcan, Gizem
An algorithm for the solution of the fuzzy rough linear programming (FRLP) problems with triangular fuzzy rough number parameters is proposed to overcome the uncertainty in decision-making problems. While the costs of the objective function and the coefficients of constraints are triangular fuzzy rough numbers, the variables are in the triangular fuzzy form. Fuzzy optimal solutions are found by solving two distinct fully fuzzy linear programming (FFLP) problems, obtained from the lower and upper approximations of the FRLP problem. These solutions are utilized to evaluate different fuzzy objective function values, and these values are compared according to their supports to specify the worst and the best fuzzy rough compromise solutions. The decision-maker (DM) can make a final decision within the bounds of these supports according to the direction of the optimization. Also, the algorithm yields approximate fuzzy rough compromise solutions in the infeasibility case of the FFLP problems. To demonstrate the efficiency of the algorithm, some numerical examples are illustrated.

Aging in Turkey
(Faculty of Economics Osijek, 2020) Kilic, Burak; Kilic, Zafer
This study covers the services offered to the elderly, individuals who work in this field, statistical data on aging in Turkey, and similar issues. The data in this study was collected from the literature review and from written sources. In the literature, the concept of age is divided into two: biological and chronological. Although chronological age is the same in all humans, biological age varies according to individuals. Chronological age is the number of years a person has been alive. Biological age is the representation of the biological step as a unit of time. Aging is the state where individuals gradually lose their physical and psychological power. The increasingly elderly population has also caused the academic environment to focus on the field of older people. Moreover, the increasing elderly population has accelerated the process of developing national policies and plans in countries and the process of producing services in line with the developed plans and policies. According to the aging data of the United Nations, there is an increase in the number and proportion of elderly individuals in the world. As a result, in this case, Turkey does not differ, so the elderly population is increasing with each passing day.
Akıllı Havalimanları: Havalimanı Yolcu Hizmetlerinde Yolcuların Ortak Kullanımlı Self Servis (CUSS) Kullanma Deneyimine Yaklaşımları
(2025) Pamuk, Mehveş
Havacılık her zaman teknolojiye dayalı bir sektör olsa da havalimanlarında birçok yolcu hizmetleri görevlilerle yolcuların temasını gerektirmiştir. Bu manzara teknoloji yayılımıyla beraber dönüşmektedir. Bu dönüşümlerden biri olan Ortak Kullanımlı Self Servis (CUSS) kiosk teknolojileri uçuş öncesi biletleme, koltuk atama, belge kontrolü, bagaj teslimi, etiketleme, biniş kartı bastırma gibi kontuarda yapılan işlemleri yolcuların kendisinin tamamlayabilmesini sağlamaktadır. Ancak tüm işlem ve sorumlulukları yolcuya aktarmaktadır. Bu durum, teknolojiye aşina olan, hızlı tempolu yolcular için kolaylık olarak görülebilirken, bazı yolcular için geleneksel yönteme kıyasla henüz alışılmadık, karmaşık bir durum olabilmektedir. Bu çalışma havalimanlarındaki CUSS kiosklarına ilişkin deneyimlere odaklanmış, yolcuların CUSS faydalılık algısı, kullanım özyeterlilik algısı, insan etkileşimi gereksinimi ile CUSS kullanımı davranışsal niyeti arasındaki ilişkilerin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla nicel araştırma yöntemine dayalı olarak uygun örnekleme yoluyla erişilen Türkiye’de farklı havalimanlarında CUSS kiosklarını kullanma deneyimine sahip 372 katılımcıdan veri toplanmıştır. Veriler SPSS yazılımında analiz edilmiştir. Bulgulara göre CUSS fayda algısı, yolcu özyeterliliği ve davranışsal kullanım niyeti arasında güçlü ve pozitif ilişkiler bulunmuştur. Buna karşılık, yolcularda insan etkileşimi gereksinimi arttıkça sistemin faydalılığına, kullanım yeterliliğine ve kullanım niyetine yönelik algılar anlamlı şekilde azalmaktadır. İleri yaş grupları ve daha düşük eğitim seviyesine sahip bireyler insan etkileşimine daha fazla ihtiyaç duymakta ve CUSS sistemlerine daha temkinli yaklaşmaktadır.
Akıllı Tarım Literatürünün Toplumsal Cinsiyet Perspektifinden Türkiye Bağlamında Değerlendirilmesi
(2023) Gürsoy, Ozgür Burçak; Çolak, Ezgi
Dijital teknolojiler, iktisadi ve sosyal yaşam üzerinde köklü dönüşümler yaratmıştır. Son yıllarda, artan dünya nüfusu, iklim değişiklikleri, pandemi gibi dışsal şokların etkileri ve gıda rejiminde yaşanan krizler sonucu tarım sektörünün sürdürülebilirliği ve tarımda teknoloji kullanımı üzerine tartışmalar yoğunlaşmıştır. Bu bağlamda, tarımsal verimliliği arttırmayı, kaynak kullanımını etkin kılmayı ve çevreye verilen zararı azaltmayı amaçlayan ve “akıllı tarım” olarak isimlendirilen kimi uygulamalar dünyada ve ülkemizde sektörde yer bulmaya başlamıştır. Bu makalede, akıllı tarımın ne olduğu, hangi uygulamaları içerdiği ve sosyal bilimlerde hangi bağlamlarda tartışıldığı ortaya konmaktadır. Makalede, akıllı tarım üzerine literatüre “duyarlı yenilikçilik” kavramının ışığında ve toplumsal cinsiyet ilişkileri merkezli bir şekilde yaklaşılmaktadır. Araştırmamız ülkemizde durum tespiti ve uygulama sonuçlarını sunan belge ve raporların ile TÜİK Hane Halkı Bilişim Teknolojileri Kullanım Araştırması sonuçlarını veri kaynağı olarak kullanmaktadır. Elde edilen nitel ve nicel ikincil verinin betimsel analizi yapılarak akıllı tarım uygulamalarının ortaya çıkarabileceği olumlu ve olumsuz sonuçlar özellikle tarımsal yapıdaki kadınların konumu bakımından sorgulanmıştır. Sonuçta, akıllı tarım uygulamalarının ve tarımın dijitalleşmesine dair politikaların, toplumsal cinsiyet duyarlılığı ile tanımlanmasının gereği ve önemi vurgulanmıştır. Yine, özellikle ülkemizde geliştirilecek uygulamaların bilgisayardan ziyade mobil cihaz kullanımına dayalı ve orta yaş ve üstünden ziyade genç çiftçileri hedeflemesi gerektiği önerilmektedir.
An Analysis of Airports’ Sustainability Promotion Activities on Instagram through Content Analysis Method
(IGI Global, 2026) Beğendik B.; Beğendik, Behiye
This study evaluates how airports in Türkiye communicate sustainability-related activities on Instagram by applying content analysis within the framework of the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The results indicate that airports post content related to the SDGs, but they mostly focus on economic and operational topics, especially SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), which emphasizes digital advancements, new services, and infrastructure improvements. Airports display environmental themes, albeit in limited and uneven ways. From a strategic innovation perspective, airports tend to signal sustainability primarily through modernization and efficiency narratives rather than comprehensive environmental transformation. Accordingly, airport operators should move beyond symbolic messaging by communicating measurable environmental targets, actions, and outcomes on Instagram. © 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.

(Academic Journals, 2011) Aksu, Baki; Koc, K. Huseyin; Karademir, Devrim
With its increasingly expanding uses, the furniture industry has become a basic industrial sector in the world, especially in the developed countries, and it represents 2% of the total labour and 2% to 4% of the total production. The global foreign trade of furniture was around $174 billion in 2008. Though it has been growing fast, the furniture industry in Turkey is far from the level in the developed countries. In regard to the Turkish furniture industry, 99% of which consists of small and medium scale enterprises, just like all the other industries, few data are needed to be able to make accurate evaluations. The current conditions in the small and medium scale enterprises have been neatly described in this study. It tries to offer solutions to the problems, analyze the competition opportunities and shed light for future studies by eliminating inadequate data. It is the first study in the field since there has not been such research which covers the whole country except for the regional ones.

Analyses of Chemical and Physical Egg Quality Parameters of Laying Hens Housed in Different Conditions in Turkey
(Sakarya University, 2023) Uysal Afacan, R.S.; Afacan, Reyhan Selin Uysal
The aim of the present study is to determine the content of chemical and physical quality parameters of hen eggs (liquid whole egg (LWE), liquid egg yolk (LEY), and liquid egg white (LEW)) produced for different housing and feeding conditions in Turkey. Chemical quality parameters (protein, lipid, and moisture) and physical quality parameters (total soluble solid (°Brix), pH, conductivity, and yolk:white ratio) were analyzed using different egg samples. Kjeldahl, wet ashing, and oven-drying official methods were used for the protein, total lipid, and moisture analyses of egg samples. The highest protein content in the LEY and LEW samples were found to be 19.0% and 15.13%, respectively for the tenth sample having fortified feeding (selenium+DHA) parameters. For LWE samples, it was also obtained 15.65% with the second sample having a not fortified feeding parameter. The highest total lipid content for LWE samples was determined as 10.43% for the seventh sample which housed under cage free conditions and fed with organic (omega3+EPA+DHA) fortifiers, while it was found with a value 25.7% for the second and third LEY samples possessing a not fortified feeding parameters. The highest moisture content was determined as 78.37%, 54.64%, and 89.11 for thirty-first LWE sample (with not fortified feeding), third LEY sample (with not fortified feeding) and sixth LEW sample (having cage free and organic parameters), respectively. As a result, the minimum, average, and maximum contents of the chemical and physical quality parameters were determined for laying hen eggs raised in several housing and feeding conditions in Turkey. © 2023, Sakarya University.

(2023) Mızrak, Filiz
In today's fast-paced and ever-changing business landscape, effective decision-making is paramount to achieving success and maintaining a competitive edge. This holds particularly true in the aviation sector, where Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a pivotal role in optimizing workforce performance and ensuring operational efficiency. However, HRM decision-making processes are often confronted with multifaceted challenges that encompass various criteria and encompass both objective and subjective factors. To tackle this complexity, a novel and adaptive approach is needed. In this study, we employ a Fuzzy Logic Approach to analyze the criteria influencing decision-making processes in HRM within the aviation sector, aiming to provide a comprehensive and flexible decision-support system for HRM practitioners and contribute to the sector's overall performance and success. The contribution of this study lies in its innovative application of Fuzzy Logic to HRM decision-making in the aviation sector. By capturing the inherent uncertainties and vagueness that HRM practitioners encounter, the proposed Fuzzy Logic-based model offers a more robust and context-sensitive decision-support system. Based on the Fuzzy Logic application and sensitivity analysis, the findings reveal the significance of employee satisfaction as the most influential criterion in HRM decision-making within the aviation sector. The Fuzzy Logic model demonstrated a strong positive correlation between high employee satisfaction levels and favorable HRM Decision Outcomes. This finding emphasizes the pivotal role of employee satisfaction in shaping HRM strategies and outcomes within aviation organizations.
