Yayın Saito, K. (2023). Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the idea of degrowth communism. Cambridge University Press(Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-04-30) Güzelsoy, HalitKohei Saito reviews the Marxian approach to ecology, building on the work done under MEGA project. Marx’s perspective on history and the exploitation of nature differs significantly from what commonly attributed to him. Saito rigorously examines Marx’s evolving ideas, questioning concepts such as economic growth, free time, and the development of productive forces. Consequently, the absolute conclusion to be drawn from Marx’s ideas is not the glorification of endless production. By redefining wealth, the concept of degrowth communism emerges as an important political strategy.Yayın A review of "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" by Klaus Schwab(Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2024-04-30) Abekah-Brown, Mustapha AkweiKlaus Schwab's "The Fourth Industrial Revolution" illuminates a period marked by remarkable technological advancements that are fundamentally reshaping our society. The book meticulously details breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, robotics, and biotechnology, while also acknowledging the challenges accompanying these innovations. Schwab sets out to achieve objectives centered around increasing awareness, fostering understanding, and promoting cooperation throughout the book. This book is an indispensable reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the ongoing revolution and its implications.Yayın Inequality of income distribution: a comparative analysis for developed and developing economies(IJOPEC, 2024-11) Teker, Suat; Teker, Dilek; Güzelsoy, Halit; Şimşek, Sidar Atalay; Puwanendram, Gayathri; Şiriner, İsmailThis study examines the changes in income distribution across selected countries from 2015 to 2022, with a focus on the significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic (2020-2021) on global income distribution. The data used in this analysis was sourced from the World Inequality Database, specifically looking at household income adjusted for after-tax earnings. Each household's income was allocated among adults aged 20 and older. The data were organized into ten income groups, creating ten distinct income levels for comparison. The study includes ten countries comprising five developed countries, namely; France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom and five developing countries, namely; Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Greece and Turkiye. The analysis spans the eight-year period from 2015 to 2022. All countries implemented various social programs to support those people most affected by the Covid-19 pandemic. Developed countries generally succeeded in protecting and restoring their pre-pandemic income distribution. In contrast, developing countries faced challenges with their social programs. Although the developing countries were successful in increasing their overall national income, they struggled to restore their pre-pandemic income distribution. An income transfer occurred from the bottom 20% and the middle 60% to the top 20% in these developing nations. By 2022, the average income per capita for the bottom 10% in developing countries was $9,500 while the top 10% was $141,000 resulting in a 14.8-fold difference. In developed countries, these figures were $25,700 for the bottom 10% and $160,400 for the top 10%, yielding a 6.2-fold difference.Yayın Development of e-commerce in Turkiye: post COVID-19 era(IJOPEC, 2024-11) Teker, Suat; Teker, Dilek; Orman, Irmak; Şimşek, Sidar Atalay; Puwanendram, Gayathri; Şiriner, İsmailThe COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed a significant transformation in consumer behavior, accelerating the adoption of e-commerce worldwide. This study focuses on the development and growth of e-commerce in Türkiye during the post-COVID-19 era, examining the sector's expansion from 2020 onwards. Key factors contributing to this growth include increased internet and smartphone penetration, advancements in digital payment systems, and heightened consumer reliance on online shopping duringlockdowns. The analysis highlights how these shifts have not only enhanced domestic retail e-commerce but also positioned Türkiye as a rapidly growing e-commerce market globally, with a projected compound annual growth rate of 11.6% between 2024 and 2029. Additionally, the article explores opportunities for Turkish businesses to leverage cross-border e-commerce for international market expansion, emphasizing the strategic role of digitalization, logistics improvements, and government incentives. By presenting key data and trends, the study underscores Türkiye’s potential to strengthen its presence in global trade through e-commerce, driving economic growth and fostering innovation in its digital economy.Yayın Woman pioneer in archeology and conservation in Turkey: Halet Çambel(ZRC Publishing House, 2018) Bolca, Pelin; Karadağ, Derya; Seražin, Helena; Franchini, Caterina; Garda, Emilia[No abstract available]Yayın Parametric material autopsies for generative crafting(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-06-23) Kavurmacıoğlu, Özgür; Ozar, Betül; Çimşit Koş, Fitnat; Delerel, ZehraThis research investigates the intersection of parametric design, AI-driven exploration, and bio-tectonic strategies to develop adaptive, ecologically responsive urban modules. By transforming industrial waste into responsive components, the study integrates digital and analog into a cohesive design process. The methodology is structured around three core practices: “Parametric Autopsies of Local Upcycling Material”, “AI-Driven Design Exploration”, and “Constructive Bio-tectonic Scenarios for Regenerative Environments”. These practices foster dynamic, site-specific solutions that align with ecological principles, creating scalable frameworks for sustainable urban regeneration. Findings demonstrate that combining parametric material autopsies, generative AI, and hybrid fabrication can lead to innovative design interfaces. These prototypes showcase the potential of integrating upcycled materials into nature responsive urban systems, paving the way for resilient, green cities that support both human and ecological well-being. This study lays the groundwork for future explorations in regenerative architecture, offering a vision for collaborative, adaptive urban environments.Yayın Transcalar bio-tectonics: unveiling responsive potential in architecture(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025-06-23) Çimşit Koş, Fitnat; Delerel, Zehra; Ozar, Betül; Kavurmacıoğlu, ÖzgürThis paper examines the concept of scale not merely as a measurement but as an interaction, introducing “transcalar tectonics” as an approach to address complex, multi-scalar environmental challenges. Conducted within the Transcalar Lab—a first-year architectural design studio—the study explores combining physical and digital interfaces through tectonic experimentation, contributing to the emerging field of bio-materials and bio-oriented design. Utilizing bio-materials and AI tools such as ChatGPT, Krea, Midjourney, and Runway, this research constructs a transcalar prototype that bridges micro to macro scales, highlighting the unique challenges posed by suppressed or disappearing scales. Through three iterative experiments, bio-materials are developed, AI-driven articulation potentials are explored, and a transcalar prototype is constructed. The findings reveal that micro and macro scale interactions challenge traditional form-making, shifting focus toward responsive, bio-oriented structures that transcend hierarchical scale. Ultimately, this research suggests a new paradigm in sustainable design, bridging structure and architecture with ecological, bio-responsive approach.
