Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’nin enerji talebini tahmin etmek amacıyla Girdap Arama (Vortex Search, VS) algoritması temelli yeni bir doğrusal regresyon modeli geliştirilmiştir. Modelde Türkiye’deki gayri safi yurtiçi hâsıla (GSYİH), nüfus, ithalat ve ihracat verileri girdi parametrelerini; ortaya çıkan enerji talebi ise tahmin edilecek çıktıyı ifade etmektedir. 1979-2005 ve 1979-2011 yılları arasındaki veriler kullanılarak geliştirilen iki farklı tahmin modeli literatürdeki benzer çalışmalarla karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, geliştirilen VS modellerinin karşılaştırma yapılan modellerden daha başarılı veya rekabetçi sonuçlar elde ettiğini göstermiştir. Çalışmada son olarak, Türkiye’nin 2030 yılına kadar talep edeceği enerji miktarı, VS ve diğer modeller ile 3 farklı senaryo üzerinden tahmin edilmiştir.

Talaşı imalatta önemli bir alan olan frezeleme işlemleri çok yönlü bir imalat biçimi olup endüstride oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Frezeleme işleminin istenilen hassasiyetle yapılamaması malzeme üzerinde bazı mekanik sorunlara ve hatta malzeme kayıplarına yol açmaktadır. Ekonomik değeri yüksek olan malzemenin atıl duruma gelmesi zaman, para ve iş gücü kaybına neden olmaktadır. Hata tespit ve tahmini, ürün kalitesini yükseltmek, kullanılan malzeme masraflarını azaltmak ve zamandan tasarruf sağlamak için önemli bir işleve sahiptir. Yapılan bu çalışmada, frezeleme işlemi sırasında, kesici takımda oluşan mekanik titreşimlerin yüzey kalitesi üzerindeki etkileri deneysel olarak incelenmiştir. Yapılan testlerde titanyum (Ti6Al4V) iş parçası kullanılmıştır. Test parametreleri, 4 farklı seviyede kesme hızı (Vc m/dk), 4 farklı seviyede ilerleme oranı (f mm/diş) ve sabit kesme derinliği (ap/mm) alınarak tam faktöriyel yöntemi ile belirlenmiştir. Testlerden elde edilen ortalama yüzey pürüzlülüğü değerleri için regresyon analizleri yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde, titreşimin ve ilerleme oranının artışı ile ortalama yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerinin arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu durum kesici takımda oluşan titreşimin kesilen iş parçası yüzey pürüzlülüğü üzerinde önemli bir etkisi olduğunu açıkça ortaya koymaktadır. Kesme hızı ve ilerleme oranı miktarlarına göre; yüzey pürüzlülük değeri aralığı 0,33-0,66 µm aralığında değişim göstermiştir. Yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerinin en küçüğü, ilerleme hızının en az olduğu değerlerde görülmüştür. En büyük Ra değeri ilerlemenin en fazla olduğu değerlerde elde edilmiştir. Kesme hızının 50 m/dk, ilerleme hızının 0,10 mm/diş parametreli test yapılırken kesici takımın deforme olduğu görülmüştür. Bu durumun yüzey pürüzlülük değerlerini olumsuz yönde etkilediği düşünülmektedir.

The objective of this study is to reveal the honey consumption preferences of consumers in Erzurum and their consumption of other bee products. In this study, a survey was conducted with 400 people living in Erzurum. Descriptive statistics and frequency tables were created with the data obtained from the survey results and factors affecting honey consumption were determined by multivariate regression analysis. Honey consumption, which is dependent variable, affected by the education level of the consumers, the number of children in the family, the presence of honey-producing relatives or acquaintances and the income level. Honey consumption increases if consumers graduate from a higher education level. Honey consumption increases as the number of children in the family increases. Increasing income also increases honey consumption positively. In addition, the frequency consumption of filtered honey and honeycomb honey affects the consumption of honey. The percentage explanation of variability in honey consumption of the created model was 84.80% and the model was significant according to the analysis of variance (Anova). As a result of the study, it was determined that the domestic beekeeping sector could be revitalized by encouraging domestic consumption, and that educating consumers about the importance of honey consumption for a healthy life would also contribute to the treatment of honey consumption.

Amaç: Günümüzde lokal ileri evre rektum kanseri tedavisinde neoadjuvan kemoradyoterapi uygulanması standart tedavi yaklaşımıdır (1). Çalışmamızda lokal ileri evre rektum kanseri hastalarında neoadjuvan kemoradyoterapi sonrası radyolojik yanıt derecesi ile postoperatif patolojik cevap oranları arasındaki korelasyonun değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu çalışmada 03/09/2020 ile 07/09/2022 tarihleri arasında endoskopik biyopsi sonucu rektum adenokanseri tanısı alan ve neoadjuvan kemoradyoterapi uygulanmış 42 hastanın verileri retrospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Tüm hastalara eş zamanlı kapesitabin + radyoterapi (28fr*180cGy) tedavi protokolü uygulandı. Eş zamanlı tedavi sonrası 26 hastaya cerrahiye kadar olan süreçte 12-16 haftalık kapesitabin + oksaliplatin tedavisi verildi. Pelvis bölgesinde uzman radyolog tarafından cerrahi öncesinde neoadjuvan tedaviye klinik yanıtın değerlendirilmesi amacıyla radyolojik mrTRG sistemi kullanıldı. Radyolojik yanıtlar; TRG=1 (sadece düşük sinyalli fibrozis, tümör sinyali yok), TRG=2 (%75'ten fazla fibrozis ve minimum tümör sinyal yoğunluğu), TRG=3 (%50 tümör/fibrozis), TRG=4 (%25'ten az fibrozis, baskın tümör sinyali), TRG=5 (tedavi sonrası değişiklik yok) olarak kabul edildi. Cerrahi prosedür olarak 14 hastaya (%33,33) abdominoperineal rezeksiyon (APR), 28 hastaya (%66,67) ise aşağı anterior rezeksiyon (LAR) uygulandı. Cerrahi sonrası patolojik yanıt değerlendirilmesinde Modifiye Ryan patolojik tümör regresyon skoru kullanıldı. Patolojik yanıtlar; skor=0 (tam yanıt), skor=1 (Komplete yakın yanıt), skor=2 (parsiyel yanıt), skor=3 (tedavi yanıtı zayıf ya da yanıt yok) olarak kabul edildi. Çalışmamızda patolojik ve radyolojik cevap skorlarının korelasyonuna bakıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların 28'si erkek (%66,66) 14'ü (%33,34) kadın olup, yaş ortalaması 59,5 (35-81) dir. Hastaların ilk başvuru tarihinden cerrahiye kadar geçen süre medyan 5 (3-10) aydır. Anal girimden itibaren 0-5 cm distal rektum, 6-10 cm orta rektum, 11-15 cm arası ise proksimal rektum olarak sınıflandırıldı. 23 hastanın (%54.7) tümörü proksimal, 8 (%19) hasta orta rektum, 11 hasta (%26.3) distal rektum yerleşimlidir. Değerlendirmelerde 6 hasta (%14,28) patolojik regresyon skor=0, 7 hasta (%16,66) skor=1, 18 hasta (%42,85) skor=2, 11 hasta (%26,19) skor=3 olarak değerlendirildi. Radyolojik olarak ise 3 hasta (%7,14) mrTRG SKOR=1, 11 hasta (%26,19) mrTRG skor=2, 7hasta (%16,66) mrTRG skor=3, 11 hasta (%26,19) mrTRG skor=4, 2 hasta (%4,76) mrTRG skor=5 olarak değerlendirildi. 8 hastanın neoadjuvan tedavi sonrası MR görüntülerine ulaşılamadığı için değerlendirilememiştir. Radyolojik olarak tam ve tama yakın cevap alınan 14 hastanın 9'u (%64,2) patolojik olarak da tam ve tama yakın cevap aldığı görüldü. Radyolojik olarak kötü yanıtlı veya yanıtsız 13 hastanın 9 tanesinde (%69,2) patolojik olarak da kötü yanıt veya yanıtsız olarak görüldü. Patolojik ve radyolojik yanıtların arasındaki korelasyonu değerlendirmek için Pearson korelasyon testi uygulandı. Aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir korelasyon olduğu görüldü (p<0,001). Sonuç: Radyolojik tümör regresyon yanıtları ile patolojik tümör yanıt skorları arasında anlamlı bir korelasyon saptanmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucuna göre, radyolojik olarak tam ve tama yakın cevap alınan hastaların, eş zamanlı tedavi sonrası cerrahi olmaksızın bekle ve gör prosedürü doğrultusunda takip edilmesi uygulanabilir görülmekle beraber, gelecekte daha fazla hasta katılımının olacağı çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır.

In this study, a new linear regression model based on Vortex Search (VS) algorithm was developed for estimating Turkey's energy demand. In this model, Turkey's gross domestic product (GDP), population, import and export data refer to input parameters; resulting energy demand refers to output to be estimated. Two different estimation models developed by using data between 1979-2005 and 1979-2011 were compared with similar studies in the literature. The results showed that the developed VS models obtained more successful or competitive results than the compared models. Finally in this study, the amount of energy that will be demanded in Turkey until 2030 was projected with VS and other models according to 3 different scenarios. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study is to determine the importance of packaging on consumer buying behavior. The data used in the study were conducted on a voluntary basis using the survey technique. The sample size of the study is 100 according to the probability sampling method of households located in the Selcuklu district of Konya province, Turkey. The reliability of the data prepared to determine the effect of packaging on consumer tendency to buy food products was determined by Cronbach's Alpha test. In the study, the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test value was found to be 0.776. In order to develop the scale, the factor analysis method was used which renders a large number of variables as statistically significant and independent factors. As a result of the analyses performed, five factors were identified towards the effect of packaging features on consumers' purchase of the food products. In the light of the data obtained from the study, it was concluded that the factors affecting the consumers' decision to buy any product were factors such as packaging's usage, appearance, healthiness, and its recyclability. The decisiveness of packaging attributes in consumer's purchase decision was determined by factor analysis and the effect of packaging on consumer's purchase of food products was examined by regression analysis along with other factors (income, age, education). According to the results of the regression analysis, it was determined that the effect of the packaging was higher on the consumers with higher income and education. It is seen that for consumers who think that the image of packaging and its ease of use are positive in the eyes of the consumers, the packaging is more effective in their purchase of food products compared to other consumers. The most important feature among the packaging of food products affecting consumer purchasing decisions is that the production and expiry information is in an easily visible position.

In this research, since transition to its restructuring, developments in agricultural sector were analysed with outlines. Because of the fact that this transition was in 2001, 2001 year was regarded as year of start. The reasons for the transition have been to increase the farmer registration system, subsidize the agricultural sector, and sustain the importance of the agriculture for economy. In the study, 2001-2016 period were examined, and it was observed that there were important developments in rural in 16 years. These were decrease of the agricultural areas, decline of the field farming, too much migration mobility from rural towards urban, and significantly diminishing of the rural population and the number of agricultural enterprises. Because agricultural lands were not sufficiently utilized, some crops' production potential dropped off. Even if animal products' production increased, that was not enough to satisfy the domestic demand and to export. Thus, it was determined that most of agricultural products was imported. By regression analysis, agricultural area size was estimated and it was seen that decrease of the agricultural areas could continue in the following years. In the study, some constructive proposals were also brought forward regarding improvement the agriculture and the rurals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is known that the concepts of technology, innovation and knowledge are the most important triggers and actors of the evolution of Industry 4.0.It is not possible for countries to avoid the journey of Industry 4.0. Therefore in order to compete the countries are required to produce by applying flexible, customer-specific, digitized intelligent manufacturing models that based on real-time communications between people-machines-products, which are the core characteristics of Industry 4.0. It is discussed in the literature that the Industry 4.0 has many advantages as well as advantages. To benefit from the advantages of Industry 4.0 at the highest level and to be least affected by the disadvantages; it is stated in the academic literature and in the reports of international organizations that sustainability approaches should be evaluated within the scope of economic, social and environmental dimensions. In this study, it is aimed to determine the effects of Industry 4.0 actors and tools on sustainable development and environmental performance. For this purpose, the indicators of global indices published by international organizations, which are a repressive guide in determining the country's road maps, were used as affecting and affected variables. "Global Innovation Index" in order to represent Industry 4.0; "Sustainable Development Goals" and "Environmental Performance Index" to represent sustainable development have been determined as the research input data. Data set of 116 countries that included in 2018 reports of the selected indices was used in the analyses. 17 Sustainable Development Goals were contained as dependent variables in the Regression Analyses after dimension reduction with Factor Analysis. Regression models have established with several versions showing the effects of innovation on sustainable development and environmental performance. The obtained significant regression models were interpreted comparatively with literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, for solving multi-group classification problems, a new two-stage hybrid classification method based on regression analysis and mathematical programming has been developed. In the first step of the proposed method, the classification score of each unit is estimated with the help of the linear regression equation for each unit. In the second step, the classification of the units is performed by the mathematical programming model based on clustering analysis. The proposed method combines the strengths of regression analysis and mathematical programming method. From the 10 real data sets taken the well-known literature and simulation study results, it is observed that the proposed method outperforms the regression analysis, mathematical programming and artificial neural network based classification methods.

Right-censored data is encountered in many areas related to biology, industry, economics, genetics and related fields, primarily clinical trials and health field. The most important characteristic of this data type is that it contains incomplete observations of the person or object of interest. In modeling studies, as incomplete observations result in biased and inconsistent results, several methods have been developed to solve this problem. In this study, many different methods which are used in the literature to be included in the modeling process of right and censored data are examined. Some of these methods can be ordered as follows: Kaplan-Meier weights, Gaussian and kNN imputation methods and synthetic data transformations. Generally, since the censored data points are unknown or can be partially known, classical statistical analysis and modeling methods can be used by assuming some assumptions about the distributions of these observations. In addition, these observations can be estimated using some nonparametric methods which are not based on distribution assumptions. Apart from these two main headings, it is possible to say that the censored data points are removed from the data set even if they are not preferred. In this study, the proposed solution methods for inclusion of right-censored data into regression analysis are presented in stages, from the simplest methods to the most advanced methods, and it is tried to explain how these methods can reflect the effect of censorship. The main purpose of this study is to examine the methods that allow the necessary arrangements for the censorship of the data before the data is added to the regression model. Of course, it is not possible to examine all the existing methods, the most commonly used methods are selected in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research is to demonstrate empirically that gerrymandering takes place specifically in the municipal elections which first started by the law 6360 in 2012 and not only leads to expansion of the political power's hegemony while limiting the opposition party's electoral boundary but also centralization. In order to prove this argument, civil voluntarism model, which deals with the relationship between electoral behaviors and voter's profile, was used. We use data on voter qualifications and election results from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI) and the Supreme Electoral Board (SEB), two state institutions. And we also used an economic data we created from a real estate website. The findings show that the areas dominated by the opposition party are shrinking. Furthermore, the findings show that the ruling party that made this regulation tended to be centralized to the extent that it did not leave its domination areas to their local representatives. In this case, the regulation cannot be seen as a simple arrangement about only expanding of electoral boundaries. It also shows that mobilizes the dynamics of recentralization in Turkey and the place is instrumentalized for this purpose. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globalization homogenizes the needs, expectations and satisfaction of consumers and allows companies to use standardized advertising strategy in every culture. Some of of the campaigns with the failure were prepared without paying attention to cultural differences, companies have moved towards integrated marketing communication studies based on the 'Think global act local ' approach. In this research it is aimed to determine the brand's advertising strategy and the variables that constitute global consumer culture perception on Turkey's global brand Turkish Airlines 'Dream' advertisement. For this aim a questionnaire was prepared to learn the attitudes of the students who are studying in certain departments at Gumushane University Faculty of Literature. After the factor analysis to designate the variables, the dimensions of 'Attitudes towards an advertisement', 'Global advertising' and 'Global consumption trend' were determined. In addition, regression analysis revealed that the global consumption trend variable is statistically significant in explaining an advertising attitude and global advertising dimensions. It is thought that the results obtained from studying which contribute to academicians and market researchers working on this field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Turkish banking sector within the period of 2005-2016, the relationship between the non-performing consumer loan ratios and macroeconomic and banks specific variables were analyzed by regression analysis methodology using time series data quarterly. In our study, the defined models were estimated by Least Squares methodology. According to the results of the analysis; we have faund negative and statistically significant relationship between the variables of growth, unemployment, total equity / total assets ratio and non-performing consumer loan ratios in Turkish banking sector. On the other hand, the effects of inflation, interest rate in consumer loans, real effective exchange rate, return on assets, total loans to total deposits ratio on non-performing consumer loan ratios is statistically insignificant.
