Internet Search Volume and Stock Return Volatility: the Case of Turkish Companies
(IFRD, 2014) Son-Turan, Semen
This study analyzes the relationship of the volatility of stock returns and internet search volume (ISV). The dataset consists of 10 Turkish companies listed on the BIST-100 Index of Borsa Istanbul, and encompasses the period between January 2004-September 2013. The GARCH (1,1) model is applied with two alternative mean specifications. The use of the novel exogenous variable ISV as proxy for investor sentiment is complemented through the inclusion of trading volume.Results show that as the GARCH (1,1) model becomes increasingly nested, volatility persistence declines with however no case of a vanishing G(ARCH) effect.

Kent Mekanında Mikro Özgürlük Alanları
(2014) Arda İnceoğlu; Tuğçe Şahin; Şahin, Tuğçe; İnceoğlu, Arda
Bu makalede bir bölümü sunulan çalışmanın amacı, bir kentli olarak kentteki mevcudiyetimizi, kent mekanının mekansal ve yaşantısal olasılıklarının keşfini ve mevcut düzen ve yaşantıya alternatif olarak üretilen mekanları anlamaktır. Bunun yanı sıra, kentlinin gündelik eylemleri sırasında kentte keşfettiği mekanlarla birlikte, ürettiği mikro mekanlara odaklanılmaktadır. Çalışmada, İstanbul ve Ankara şehirlerinden konuya örnek teşkil edecek durumlar ile bir envanter oluşturma yol gidilmiştir. Oluşturulan envanterde yedi katman bulunmaktadır. Bu katmanlar mikro özgürlük alanının kullandığı kent mekanı, nasıl bir alternatif kullanım (kullanım saptırma) ortaya koyduğu, bunu yaparken hangi eylemi kullandığı, aktörlerin kimler olduğu, eylemin anlık ya da sürekli olup olmadığı ve eylemin gerçekleştirme biçiminin planlı ya da kendiliğinden gelişmesi şeklindedir. Bu makalede ise, envanterdeki İstanbul örneklerine odaklanılarak, `mikro özgürlük alanları’ ile ne anlatılmak istendiği, İstanbul’da bu kavrama denk düşen alternatif kullanımların neler olduğu, kent mekanları ve bu alternatif mekanların kent hafızasına nasıl yerleştiği üzerinde durulmaktadır. Envanterdeki yedi katman ile beraber her örneğin mekan, zaman, kullanım ve eylem katmanlarında nasıl yeni durumlar oluşturduğu birlikte görülmektedir.

What Serves Best Kurdish Self-Interests in Turkey: an Analysis in Light of the American Experience of Becoming a Nation and the Role of Education
(Kalem Eğitim ve Sağlık Hizmetleri Vakfı, 2014) Özcan, Mustafa
The ending of the Cold War at the close of the 20th century became a turning point for the acceleration of racial, ethnic, and religious conflicts around the world, specifically in the Middle East. Within various countries, struggles have arisen, as diverse social groups demand political, cultural, and religious rights. Turkey is one of those countries. Representatives of the Kurds are demanding rights ranging from cultural recognition to political autonomy and independence. Some Kurdish groups are using terror to realize their goals. The tension stemming from this conflict isdeteriorating the social, political, and cultural life of the country. The anomaly is that the Kurds have coexisted with the rest of the nation for more than one thousand year and their commonalities are more ample than their differences. America is a nation of immigrants from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds.
Yaptırımı (cezayı) ve sonuçlarını ağırlaştıramama kuralı
(Yetkin Yayınevi, 2014) Selçuk, Sami; Çınar, Ali Rıza
2004/5271 sayılı Yeni Ceza Yargılama Yasası’nın istinaf, temyiz, yasa yararına bozma ve yargılamanın yenilenmesi (m. 283, 307/4, 309/4-b, 323/2) yollarında benimsenen ve yaygın anlatımıyla “aleyhe bozma yasağı kuralı”, kişisel görüşümüze göre “yaptırımı (cezayı) ve sonuçlarını ağırlaştıramama kuralı” denilen konu üzerine yaptığımız incelemenin üzerinden üç yıl geçmiştir.Bu arada yeni incelemeler ve Yargıtay kararlarıyla konu zenginleştirilmiştir.İncelememizde Türk yargısının “yaptırımı (cezayı) ve sonuçlarını ağırlaştıramama kuralı”nı algılamasında ve kurala yaklaşımında, dolayısıyla uygulamada sorunlar yaşandığı, köklü değişikliklere gereksinme olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştı.O incelmede hukuk uygulamasının sağlıklı olarak olabilmesi için özellikle şu görüşlere yer verilmişti:1-Kural, 1929 yılından bu yana dayanılan “kazanılmış hak” görüşünden arındırılmalıdır.2-Kuralın yanılgıya yaslanan bir lütuf, atıfet, iyilik, bağışlama olduğu, bu yüzden genişletilmemesi gerektiği anlayışı bir yana bırakılmalıdır.3-Kural, sanık/hükümlü yararına düzenlenmiş bir kurum bulunduğu için sanık/hükümlü aleyhine yorumlanamayacaktır.Elbette bunlara kimi koşullar da eklenmişti.Bu koşulların ne denli gerçekleştiğini, elbette kitapta yansıtılan kuramsal ve yargısal görüşleri inceleyen okurlar değerlendireceklerdir.Kitap, benim incelememe çok değerli meslektaşım sayın Prof. Dr. Ali Rıza Çınar’ın bilimsel incelemesi de eklenerek ve bir bütün olarak meslektaşlarımızın değerlendirmesine sunulmuştur.Yapıt, Yargıtayın son kararları ile de zenginleştirilmiştir. Bu kararların bulunmasında, özetlenmesinde, ayrıma tabi tutulmasında emek, bütünüyle Sayın Çınar’ındır.
The Thinking-About Test for Undergraduate Students: Development and Validation
(Springer, 2014) Ubuz, Behiye; Aydın, Utkun
Two studies were conducted for the development and validation of a multidimensional test to assess undergraduate students' mathematical thinking about derivative. The first study involved two phases: question generation and refinement of the Thinking-about-Derivative Test (TDT). The second study included four phases as follows: test administration, generalizability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and subgroup validity analysis. Findings suggested that the 30-item multiple-choice TDT, which comprises 6 mathematical thinking aspects, enactive, iconic, algorithmic, algebraic, formal, and axiomatic thinking, demonstrates acceptable levels of reliability and validity. Followed by additional cross-validation studies, the TDT may be a useful tool for mathematics education researchers and mathematicians. Directions for future research and implications for educational practice are discussed.
Regula Iuris and Its Reflections on Lex Mercatoria
(SIHDA (68th Session), 2014) Erdoğan, Başak
The rise of lex mercatoria is a common trend in our current legal environment. The subject attracts attention of many academics from different legal systems and academic discussions have been constantly flourishing. The core of these discussions is the roots and sources of lex mercatoria. Concerning its roots, opinions diverge on whether it stems from ius gentium or from medieval merchant law. Another related issue is whether we are facing another era of lex mercatoria with the adoption of soft laws such as UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. As to the sources of the ‘merchant law’, debates focus on which sources lex mercatoria do possess. In general, international conventions on commercial law, commercial customs and usages, model laws, standard contracts and general principles of law are seen as part of lex mercatoria, however different views are taken on their consideration as a source of this legal system detached from national laws. Accordingly, it should not be wrong to say that lex mercatoria is still an ambiguous concept despite its popularity. Hence, opinions vary on its applicability as an ‘anational’ legal order as well: some acclaim its detachedness from national legal systems whereas others cast doubt its existence as a separate legal order. Nevertheless, we do often come across lex mercatoria as a reference to applicable law, especially in arbitral practice. This paper aims to establish a link with regula iuris and lex mercatoria. Some legal maxims are already deemed as being a source of lex mercatoria: examples include ‘pacta sunt servanda’, ‘venire contra factum proprium nemini licet’ (prohibition of inconsistent behavior), ‘culpa in contrahendo’, ‘clausula rebus sic stantibus’ etc. Accordingly, this paper evaluates the place of these maxims in lex mercatoria practice and attempts to find out whether lex mercatoria can be also seen as a new regula iuris on international level.
The Importance of Rural, Township, and Urban Life in the Interaction Between Social and Emotional Learning and Social Behaviors
(EDAM (Educational Consultancy and Research Center), 2014) Kıyar, Fatma; Totan, Tarık; Atalay, Zümra; Deniz, M. Engin; Ozyesil, Zumra
Whether an individual lives in a rural or urban setting may have direct impact on a wide variety of psychological patterns adopted by students. In this study, the effects of positive and negative social behaviors on the relationship between social and emotional learning needs and skills gaps of students who reside in both rural and urban areas have been examined. The participants of this research consist of 348 female and 319 male students, forming a total of 667 middle school students living in the province of Çanakkale, Turkey as well as in its surrounding areas. The Matson Social Skills Evaluation Scale, the Social-emotional Learning Scale, the Social and Emotional Learning Skills Scale, and personal information form were used to collect data for this research. The Baron and Kenny’s approach and the Sobel test were followed during the examination of the model created in the data analysis process. The mediator test examined the effects of positive and negative social behaviors in relationship to students’ level of social and emotional learning needs and social and emotional learning skills. As a result of this test, it was found that both positive and negative social behaviors exert partial mediation effects over students living in rural and urban areas of the province of Turkey researched.
Perceptual Coding-Based Informed Source Separation
(IEEE, 2014) Girin, Laurent; Kırbız, Serap; Ozerov, Alexey; Liutkus, Antoine
Informed Source Separation (ISS) techniques enable manipulation of the source signals that compose an audio mixture, based on a coder-decoder configuration. Provided the source signals are known at the encoder, a low-bitrate side-information is sent to the decoder and permits to achieve efficient source separation. Recent research has focused on a Coding-based ISS framework, which has an advantage to encode the desired audio objects, while exploiting their mixture in an information-theoretic framework. Here, we show how the perceptual quality of the separated sources can be improved by inserting perceptual source coding techniques in this framework, achieving a continuum of optimal bitrate-perceptual distortion trade-offs.
A Value-Adding Approach To Reliability Under Preventive Maintenance Costs and Its Applications
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2014) Dubey, Rameshwar; Kılıç, Erdem; Ali, Sadia Samar; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm
No equipment (system) can be perfectly reliable in spite of the utmost care and best efforts on the part of the designer, decision-maker and manufacturer. The two sides of maintenance are corrective and preventive maintenance. It is generally assumed that a preventive maintenance action is less costly than a repair maintenance action. We examine this proposition in detail on the basis of a failure-time model that relates conformance quality to reliability. Illustratively, we present reliability in the context of contracts with asymmetric information. The model shows how to overcome information rents through price distortions and quantity rationing. The paper ends with a conclusion and an outlook to future studies.
Turkish adult guardianship in perspective
(Durham, 2014) Kurt, Ekrem
Turkish Adult Guardianship is based upon a triple bond hierarchy. In the first phase the guardian is autharized who is inspected by a family council or the magistrate judge. On top of this hiererchy the supervisory authority, namely the trial judge is located. The person under the guardianship authority may gain the rights and owe within the consent of the guardian who is under gradual inspection of the magistrate and trial judge.
Quantification and Minimization of Sensor Effects on Modal Parameters of Lightweight Structures
(JVE INTERNATIONAL LTD., 2014) Körük, Hasan
This paper aims to quantify the adverse effects of contact type sensors on modal parameters of lightweight structures and to present a practical way for identification of modal parameters of structures with minimal sensor effects. The adverse effects of a contact type sensor on natural frequencies, damping levels and mode shapes are explored using the theoretical model of a typical beam-like sample carrying a sensor and a controlled experimental study based on measurement of frequency response functions using non-contact excitation and response sensors. The half-power and circle fit modal identification methods are used to extract modal parameter from measured data. The experimental and theoretical modal analysis results are evaluated, and a practical methodology based on classical acoustic and vibration frequency response functions is suggested to identify modal loss factors and natural frequencies of lightweight structures with minimal sensor effects.

(JVE INTERNATIONAL LTD., 2014) Körük, Hasan; Arısoy, Ahmet; Bilgin, Necati
The flow noise in household refrigerators is quantified in this study. First, the sound pressure measurements in a quiet room using typical household refrigerators are conducted and the noise characteristics of the refrigerators are presented. Then, the flow noise in household refrigerators is quantified using the results of the overall analysis and Fourier transform of the measured sound pressure data. After that, the flow noise in household refrigerators is quantified using the sound pressure measurements conducted using a specially designed test rig. The frequency characteristics of the flow noise in household refrigerators are also explored and the contribution of the flow noise is identified.
An Analysis of the Causes of Water Crisis in the Euphrates-Tigris River Basin
(Springer, 2014) Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül; Maden, Tuğba Evrim
The Euphrates-Tigris river basin now faces severe water crisis that have been fueled by national development projects in a mainly water-scarce region. Increasing demand-induced scarcity is further complicated by a history of international tensions between the three riparian nations of Turkey, Syria and Iraq and has occurred in a changing climate. Water is a critical security issue for these nations. This essay analyses the causes of the water crises by reviewing the historical hydropolitical international relations of the region.
