Yayın SMS distribution and information system(Işık Üniversitesi, 2003-07) Yüzücü, Haluk; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Bilgisayar Mühendisliği Yüksek Lisans ProgramıIn this master's thesis, a web based application software package is developed using a mobile terminal (Siemens M20), for sending SMS message to individuals or groups to disseminate information to cellular-phones. Employing utilizing the S/W developed in this thesis, SMS messages are sent to cell-phones via internet and users will get information using their cell-phone (Eg: for attendance, exam results, seminar days, etc..). Microsoft SQL Server Database is used for storing the user information, incoming and outgoing messages. ASP (Active Server Page) programming language is utilized for web based interface coding. The application software is developed on Siemens M20 mobile terminal device. Mobile communication has become an indispensable parts of everyone's daily life. This project, which has been developed by using SMS service, a branch of mobile communication, aims to enable people to access information with their cell-phones, when there is no internet. With this package institutions will be able to send announcements to groups of individuals as short messages at the same time. Besides these, with the developed web interface, SMS message will be sent only through cell-phones, but through internet as well.Yayın Citizenship in the age of the Internet: a comparative analysis of Britain and Turkey(Routledge Journals, 2014-01-02) Karakaya Polat, Rabia; Pratchett, LawrenceThe article links the literatures on citizenship studies and electronic democracy by analyzing the extent to which theories and practices of citizenship are being transformed in the age of the Internet. Distinguishing between the different citizenship traditions of liberal-individualism and civic-republicanism, we analyze the interplay between generic technological tools and the divergent historical legacies of citizenship in Turkey and Britain. Based on our analysis of governmental portals, main e-government applications, and censorship and surveillance practices, we argue that new information and communication technologies (ICTs) serve the states' interests by enabling increased surveillance capabilities, more efficient bureaucracy, better border controls and criminal investigations. In both countries, citizens benefit from electronic service-delivery applications primarily as consumers of public services, while their role as citizens are not particularly enhanced. Parallel to these convergence tendencies, we observe striking differences in the way electronic citizenship is practiced in these two countries, stemming from different traditions of citizenship as well as different levels of democracy consolidation. Despite some of the transformative power of the ICTs, their use is largely shaped by the existing understandings of citizenship in both countries.Yayın Digital exclusion in Turkey: A policy perspective(Elsevier Inc, 2012-10) Karakaya Polat, RabiaThis article explores the patterns of the digital divide in Turkey and analyzes policies related to this issue. Our analysis reveals that the digital disparities are interwoven with other social inequalities. This finding is parallel to the conclusions of previous research which suggests that digital exclusion can have a 'reinforcing' effect on social and/or economic inequalities. Having considered the current range of policies targeting either ICT access or skills, we argue that techno-centric solutions with huge budgets occupy the policy agenda at the expense of more sophisticated programs that take into account the social context of digital exclusion. These policies fail to address the most disadvantaged groups. Those who are old, disabled, female and reside in rural areas are less likely to be internet users and existing policies do not reach out to these groups.Yayın Anti-tobacco control industry strategies in Turkey(BioMed Central Ltd, 2018-02-26) Keklik, Seda; Gültekin Karakas, DeryaBackground: Transnational tobacco companies (TTCs) penetrated the Turkish cigarette market due to trade and investment liberalization in the post-1980 period and eventually secured full control. Despite tobacco control policies put in place in reaction to accelerating consumption, TTCs reinforced their market power through a variety of strategies. This paper explores industry strategies that counteract tobacco control policies in Turkey. Methods: The study employs both qualitative and quantitative analyses to explore industry strategies in Turkey. Besides the content analyses of industry and market reports, descriptive analyses were conducted for the sub-periods of 1999-2015. The analyses focus on the market strategies of product innovation, advertisement-promotion, cost management and pricing. Results: Rising sales of low tar, ultra-low tar, slim, super-slim and flavoured cigarettes indicate that product innovation served to sustain consumption. Besides, the tobacco industry, using its strong distribution channels, the Internet, and CSR projects, were found to have promoted smoking indirectly. The industry also rationalized manufacturing facilities and reduced the cost of tobacco, making Turkey a cigarette-manufacturing base. Tobacco manufacturers, moreover, offered cigarettes in different price segments and adjusted net prices both up and down according to price categories and market conditions. In response to the successful effect of shifts in price margins, the market share of mid-priced cigarettes expanded while those within the economy category maintained the highest market share. As a result of pricing strategies, net sales revenues increased. Aside from official cigarette sales, the upward trends in the registered and unregistered sales of cigarette substitutes indicate that the demand-side tobacco control efforts remain inadequate. Conclusions: The Turkish case reveals that the resilience of the tobacco industry vis-a-vis mainstream tobacco control efforts necessitates a new policy perspective. Rising market concentration by TTCs and the global nature of industry strategies require that the highly profitable manufacturing and trade of tobacco products should be discouraged on a basis of international collaboration. To reduce and eventually eradicate tobacco consumption, supply-side tobacco control measures are needed along with demand-side policies.Yayın Design and implementation of a smart beehive and its monitoring system using microservices in the context of IoT and open data(Elsevier B.V., 2022-05) Aydın, Şahin; Aydın, Mehmet NafizIt is essential to keep honey bees healthy for providing a sustainable ecological balance. One way of keeping honey bees healthy is to be able to monitor and control the general conditions in a beehive and also outside of a beehive. Monitoring systems offer an effective way of accessing, visualizing, sharing, and managing data that is gathered from performed agricultural and livestock activities for domain stakeholders. Such systems have recently been implemented based on wireless sensor networks (WSN) and IoT to monitor the activities of honey bees in beehives as well. Scholars have shown considerable interests in proposing IoT- and WSN-based beehive monitoring systems, but much of the research up to now lacks in proposing appropriate architecture for open data driven beehive monitoring systems. Developing a robust monitoring system based on a contemporary software architecture such as microservices can be of great help to be able to control the activities of honey bees and more importantly to be able to keep them healthy in beehives. This research sets out to design and implementation of a sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring platform using a microservice architecture. We pointed out that by adopting microservices one can deal with long-standing problems with heterogeneity, interoperability, scalability, agility, reliability, maintainability issues, and in turn achieve sustainable WSN-based beehive monitoring systems.Yayın The internet and political participation : exploring the explanatory links(Sage Publications Ltd, 2005-12) Karakaya Polat, RabiaThere is a growing literature exploring the role of the Internet in influencing levels and styles of political participation. However, it is not yet clear why the Internet is perceived as a medium that can, at least potentially, increase participation. Moreover, putting the emphasis on the Internet as a technology rather than on its information and communication capabilities signals a tendency for technological determinism. In order to avoid this, the article explores the relation between the Internet and political participation by examining three different facets of the Internet: the Internet as an information source, as a communication medium and as a virtual public sphere. The main argument of the article is that it is these facets of the Internet that may affect levels and styles of political participation and hence are of interest for political scientists. The article also emphasizes the relevance of established theories of participation within political science in evaluating the potential role of the Internet for affecting levels and styles of political participation.Yayın The survey on Near Field Communication(MDPI, 2015-06) Coşkun, Vedat; Özdenizci Köse, Büşra; Ok, KeremNear Field Communication (NFC) is an emerging short-range wireless communication technology that offers great and varied promise in services such as payment, ticketing, gaming, crowd sourcing, voting, navigation, and many others. NFC technology enables the integration of services from a wide range of applications into one single smartphone. NFC technology has emerged recently, and consequently not much academic data are available yet, although the number of academic research studies carried out in the past two years has already surpassed the total number of the prior works combined. This paper presents the concept of NFC technology in a holistic approach from different perspectives, including hardware improvement and optimization, communication essentials and standards, applications, secure elements, privacy and security, usability analysis, and ecosystem and business issues. Further research opportunities in terms of the academic and business points of view are also explored and discussed at the end of each section. This comprehensive survey will be a valuable guide for researchers and academicians, as well as for business in the NFC technology and ecosystem.Yayın Design science in NFC research(IEEE, 2010) Özdenizci Köse, Büşra; Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz; Coşkun, Vedat; Ok, KeremNear Field Communication (NFC), as one of the promising technological developments, provides means to short range contactless communication for mobile phones and other devices alike. NFC has become an attractive design science research area for many academicians due to its exploding growth. A better understanding of the current status of NFC research is necessary to identify the gap between theory and practice. In this paper, we evaluate NFC literature from a design science point of view and seven important guidelines of the design science research are employed for evaluating some of the NFC related studies which propose innovative artifacts. Design science perspective of NFC literature gives beneficial guidelines for future studies. This rigorous and holistic literature review with the objective of bringing to the state-of-art in NFC design science research provides advancement of knowledge in NFC research and further research directions.Yayın QoS-constrained core selection for group communication(IEEE, 2005) Karaman, Ayşe; Hassanein, HossamThe core-based approach in multipoint communication enhances the solution space in terms of QoS-efficiency of solutions in inter and intra-domain routing. In an earlier work [KH04], we showed that the constrained cost minimization solutions in core-based approach proposed to date are restrictive in their search to a subrange of solutions, and we proposed SPAN, a generic framework to process in our identified extended solution space. In this paper, we study the core selection component of SPAN and propose two novel algorithms, SPAN/COST and SPAN/ADJUST, which define the core-selection component of SPAN. SPAN/COST mainly optimizes the cost distances to be traveled between the source-core and core-receiver pairs on the multicast trees, while SPAN/ADJUST selects the cores based on the numbers of nodes they dominate and adjusting the set based on cost. Our algorithms consistently outperform their counterparts proposed to date and can be considered pioneering in their optimization range of multiple metrics and processing in the extended solution space.Yayın Voice enabled web application by using speech application language tags ''salt''(Işık Üniversitesi, 2004-04) Koçoğlu, Feride Yeşim; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa; Işık Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, Enformasyon Teknolojileri Yüksek Lisans ProgramıThis master thesis presents and discuses building and deploying speech enabled applications that will enable millions to 2Speak and Listen to the Web3 at multimodal user interface over a cell phone , PDA, or other handheld device and desktop PC using the speech application language tags(SALT).
