Yayın CSR and social marketing as enablers of recovery after the global recession: the Turkish banking industry(IGI Global, 2016-12-21) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, MehmetCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new concept in Turkey. Leading companies including banks stress socially responsible activities in their marketing communications. The recent economic crisis put banks into the center stage again. Turkey was one of the few countries that emerged from the economic downturn relatively quickly. In the initial stages of the crisis, banks faced some criticism for protecting their self-interest more and not acting for the benefit of the society. Later, these criticisms got weaker and less frequent. This chapter examines the behavior of banks during the crisis with respect to CSR and social marketing. Particularly, the chapter analyzes how the banks behaved during the crisis and how they supported small and medium scale enterprises and local communities through CSR strategies, as well as how they utilized CSR efforts as a marketing tool. In addition, the outcome of these strategies is discussed.Yayın Low-noise broadband amplifiers(CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group, 2016) Grebennikov, Andrei; Kumar, Narendra; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa[No abstract available]Yayın DAG 4m telescope: optics completion, on-site integration and test(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, OnurAMOS 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.Yayın Lossy matched and feedback broadband power amplifiers(CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group, 2016) Grebennikov, Andrei; Kumar, Narendra; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa[No abstract available]Yayın First domino tile in the social innovation process: idea creation of university students(IEEE, 2016-09-08) Yıldırım, Nihan; Ansal, HacerInterrelations 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.Yayın Yeşil çatı sistemlerinin su ve enerji dengesi açısından değerlendirilmesi(Istanbul Univ, Fac Forestry, 2016) Ekşi, Mert; Uzun, AdnanYeşil çatı kavramı, günümüzde sığ derinliğe sahip bir yetişme ortamı üzerinde (2-10 cm), değişken çevre koşullarına uyum sağlayabilen otsu bitki türleriyle bitkilendirilen, bakım ihtiyaçları düşük olan, üzerinde bulunduğu binaya ve şehre sağladığı katkılar nedeniyle tesis edilen ekstensif (az yoğun) çatı bahçeleri için kullanılan bir terimdir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, İstanbul iklim şartlarında yer alan bir yeşil çatı sisteminin, ısı yalıtımı, su tutma, yüzeysel akış, bitki büyüme durumu gibi özelliklerinin ve çevresel etmenlerle olan etkileşiminin karşılaştırmalı ölçümler yardımıyla belirlenmesidir. Çalışma kapsamında, bir araştırma alanı kurularak (İÜ Yeşil Çatı Araştırma İstasyonu), yeşil çatı sistemlerinin İstanbul şartlarında su ve enerji dengesi açısından değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır. Bu sayede İstanbul şartlarındaki bir yeşil çatı sistemi su ve enerji dengesi açısından değerlendirilmiş, kentle ve üzerinde bulunduğu yapıyla olan ilişkileri tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, yeşil çatı sisteminin referans çatıya oranla genel ortalamada %77 oranında ısı verimliliği sağladığı tespit edilmiştir. Çatı yüzeylerinde oluşan sıcaklık dalgalanmaları, çatının yeşil çatı ile kaplı bölümünde %79 oranında daha düşük olarak ölçülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra çatı yüzeyine gelen yağış, yetişme ortamındaki nem içeriğine bağlı olarak %12,8 ile %100 oranında yeşil çatı sistemi içerisinde biriktirilmiş ve sistemden su tahliyesi 23 saate kadar ertelenebilmiştir.Yayın Distributed amplifiers(CRC Press-Taylor & Francis Group, 2016) Grebennikov, Andrei; Kumar, Narendra; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa[No abstract available]Yayın A nonparametric approach for optimal reliability allocation in health services(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2016-02-01) Aksezer, Sezgin ÇağlarReliability evaluation of healthcare services has been a challenging task for both operations managers and system engineers working in the respective field. The purpose of this paper is to develop a data envelopment analysis-based reliability allocation model. Design/methodology/approach – A two-phase optimization scheme for the reliability evaluation and allocation of homogeneous system entities, namely, hospitals, operating in a healthcare network is proposed. First, reliability evaluation is performed nonparametrically through the frontier estimation technique data envelopment analysis by considering several failure modes and failure free discharged patients as the inputs and output of the service system. Subsequently, optimal reliability allocation that maximizes the overall network reliability subject to a budget constraint is carried out by utilizing weights of the inputs and output calculated on the Pareto optimal frontier, which is constructed from the most reliable hospitals operating in the network. Findings – The popular performance assessment methodology DEA is found to be an invaluable reliability assessment and allocation tool, where optimal weights of the associated envelopment model, under certain budget restrictions, are used to maximize overall network reliability. Originality/value – An empirical illustration of the proposed model is presented on a set of hospital network data from Turkey. Modeling implications can be carried out on similar service operations where identification of the critical performance indicator costs is possible.Yayın 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, SelahattinThe 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.Yayın High-efficiency broadband class-e power amplifiers(CRC Press Taylor & Francis Group, 2016) Grebennikov, Andrei; Kumar, Narendra; Yarman, Bekir Sıddık Binboğa[No abstract available]
