    (SPIE, 2022) Pirnay, Olivier; Albart, Pierre; Bastin, Christian; De Ville, Jonathan; Gabriel, Eric; Leseur, Thibault; Lousberg, Grégory P.; Méant, Laurence; Orban, Sabrina; Tortolani, Jean-Marc; Amalfi, Manfredi; Marchiori, Gianpietro; Rampini, Francesco; Busatta, Andrea; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur
    AMOS with EIE as main subcontractor has recently completed the erection of the 4 m telescope located at the Turkish Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) set up by the Ataturk University Astrophysics Research and Application Centre (ATASAM) of Erzurum. The telescope design is based on a Ritchey-Chrétien configuration with two folded Nasmyth focal planes and a focal length of 56m. The optical train is composed of three mirrors: the primary mirror (M1) with an optical aperture of 4m, a convex secondary mirror (M2), and a large flat folding mirror (M3). Diffraction-limited performances in optical and near infrared spectral bands will be achieved thanks to the combination of active and adaptive optics systems. The active optics system is controlling the shape of the primary mirror by means of 66 axial force actuators and position actively the secondary and tertiary mirrors by means of hexapods. The adaptive optics system will be implemented at one of the two Nasmyth ports. As main contractor, AMOS is in charge of the overall project management, the system engineering, the optical design and the active optics development. As main sub-contractor and partner of AMOS, EIE is in charge of the development of the mount. Following the factory acceptance in Europe, the telescope was dismounted and delivered in early 2021. The activities onsite were carried out according to the assembly, integration and verification plan (AIV plan). In the meantime, the fabrication of the 4 m primary mirror was completed, and the full set of mirrors was forwarded on-site before the end of the year 2021. In this paper is presented a brief description of the design and performances of the telescope followed by the project progress status at the time the optics are being integrated in the telescope for the first time. This includes the review of the mirrors as-built quality and the excepted performances of the telescope mount after alignment and tuning. The path forward final acceptance is explained with the presentation of the optical alignment method and the test carried-out on-sky.

    First domino tile in the social innovation process: idea creation of university students
    (IEEE, 2016-09-08) Yıldırım, Nihan; Ansal, Hacer
    Interrelations between creativity, innovativeness and entrepreneurial skills of individuals have long been discussed in the literature. Due to the challenges regarding their measurement, most studies focused on the intentions rather than the outcomes. The idea generation that requires creativity is the first stage of social innovation. The young population's creative potentials in participating social innovation practices deserve a special attention as they play a critical role in the innovativeness and entrepreneurship of societies. This study aims to explore the factors that determine the creative intentions of university students that are important in generating social innovation projects. A structured survey based on the literature was conducted among 600 management and engineering students from 3 universities from the different percentiles of the Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index for 2012 of the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology. The survey included questions on the demographic characteristics, environmental factors, motivators, university/institutional context, perceptions and creative thinking attitudes. By conducting reliability and factor analysis, accuracy and validity of data is tested and the impact factors were identified. Findings reveal that visionary attitude, curiosity, exploration and learning, attitude for own creativity, self-esteem, perception about the learnability of creativity, university and social environment are components of creative thinking intentions of students and some of these factors vary by year of study and university.

    Mixed-method validation of pedagogical concepts for an intercultural online learning environment: a case study
    (Assoc Computing Machinery, 2007) Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Nguyen-Ngoc, Anh Vu; Kuru, Selahattin
    The rise of social software poses the challenges to the design and evaluation of a pedagogically sound online learning environment (OLE). Our OLE addresses these challenges by the integration of three pedagogical concepts - cross-cultural collaboration, self-directed learning and social networking - with the aim to advance participants' competencies and by mixed-method approaches to evaluating the complex situations. A validation trial involving four European countries was conducted. Groups of students co-created a questionnaire, which was assessed to provide an indicator of task performance. Multi-source (surveys, blogs, emails, diaries, chats, videoconference, and interviews) and multi-perspective data (facilitators, students, researchers) were studied with social network analysis, content analysis and conversation analysis. Several a posteriori research questions are addressed.

    DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gozlemevi) telescope mount performances
    (SPIE, 2024) Marchiori, Gianpietro; Rampini, Francesco; Amalfi, Manfredi; Bressan, Riccardo; Ghedin, Leonardo; Battistel, Cristina; Manfrin, Cristiana; Vio, L.; Niero, Tiziano; Marchiori, Tommaso; Pirnay, Olivier; Gabriel, Eric; Méant, Laurence; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur
    The DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi) Eastern Anatolia Observatory is an astronomical project fully funded by Turkish Ministry of Development and the Atatürk University of Astrophysics Research Telescope (ATASAM). DAG Observatory is provided with a 4m-class optical and infrared telescope, equipped with secondary (0.76m) and tertiary mirrors which furnish the telescope with two Nasmyth foci. Since 2015, the project has seen the crucial contribution of EIE GROUP in the Design, Production and on-site Installation of the mount structure of the 4m class optical/near-infrared telescope (DAG Telescope) in contract with AMOS company. EIE GROUP is also the main contractor of the 18.6m-diameter Rotating Building (DAG Dome) at an altitude of 3170m asl on the Erzurum Plateau, Turkey. After completing a full assembly and testing in the factory, the telescope was subsequently disassembled and transported to the final installation site. Now, on-site assembly activities have been completed, and all internal acceptance tests regarding the mount structure have been conducted. This document focuses on the on-site assembly activities of the EIE Group, as well as the related internal pre-commissioning, commissioning, and functional and acceptance tests.

    Mikro ölçekli hisselerde anormal fiyat hareketlerinin LSTM ile tahmini
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025-08-15) Recal, Füsun; Kayaçetin, Nuri Volkan; Kayahan, İsmail
    Bireysel yatırımcıların karar alma süreçlerinde gözlemlenen aşırı iyimserlik, sürü psikolojisi ve yakın geçmişteki performansa aşırı tepki gibi davranışsal eğilimler dar yatırımcı tabanları ve düşük likiditeleri nedeniyle arbitraj mekanizmasının göreceli olarak zor işlediği mikro ölçekli hisselerin değerlerini makul ekonomik temellerden koparabilir. Bu çalışmada, bu tip davranışsal eğilimlerin hisse fiyatı ve işlem hacmi üzerinde belli örüntüler bırakacağı fikrinden yola çıkılarak, Borsa İstanbul’da işlem gören mikro ölçek hisselerdeki anormal fiyat ayrışmalarını, geçmiş fiyat ve hacim bazlı değişkenler yardımıyla tahmin eden bir LSTM modeli geliştirilmiştir. İncelenen hisselerin yarısından çoğunda modelden elde edilen tahminler gerçekleşen getirilerle pozitif ve istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki içindedir. Sonuçlar, mikro ölçekli hisselerdeki fiyat ayrışmalarının geçmiş fiyat ve hacim verisiyle kısmen de olsa açıklanabildiğini göstermektedir.
