Editorial 17th International Conference on Mechatronics Technology, October 15-18, 2013, Jeju Island, Korea(Elsevier, 2015) Hwang, Sung Ho; Kim, Joon-wan; Dorantes-Gonzalez, Dante Jorge; 02.03. Department of Mechanical Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 01. MEF UniversityIn recent years, Mechatronics has gained a lot of interest as more applications have been introduced to industry and society. The need for new mechatronic technologies in the form of advanced production systems, mechatronic devices, control systems, robotics, biomedical applications, MEMS, and measurement systems, among others, is very much required in improving productivity and competitiveness in many industries. Thus, this conference was organized to address the state-of-the-art technology for the benefit of researchers and users, and this time the conference made a special focus on the topic: Sustainable Mechatronics Technology.Editorial Ban the Bomb by ... Banning the Bomb? a Turkish Response(Taylor & Francis, 2017) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa; 04.04. Department of Political Science and International Relations; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityThe golden age of deterrence has reached its end. Nuclear weapons, once a star player on the international stage, no longer enjoy a place in the limelight. To be sure, some policymakers still ascribe to nuclear weapons the same prestige that, during the Cold War, they gained because of their unmatched destructive power and the leverage they provided nuclear weapon states in the international arena. But the Cold War environment, in which nuclear weapons in the hands of two superpowers played a vital role in maintaining strategic stability, does not exist anymore. Nor is it likely to be replicated in the future – despite certain parallels between US–Soviet relations during the Cold War and present-day US–Russia relations. Meanwhile, it is painfully obvious that nuclear deterrence is useless against apocalyptic terrorist organizations motivated by religious extremism. If such a group acquired and used a nuclear weapon, there would be no “return address” toward which retaliation could be directed. And apocalyptic terrorists probably do not fear destruction in the first place. Now that the golden age of deterrence has reached its end, banning nuclear weapons has become achievable – as long as the values that policymakers ascribe to them can be undermined. Now is the time to strip away the handsome mask that hid nuclear weapons’ ugly face throughout the Cold War. It is time for the world to treat nuclear weapons just like chemical and biological weapons – those other weapons of mass destruction – as mere slaughtering weapons, undeserving of prestige. It is time to ban nuclear weapons – just as biological and chemical weapons were banned through the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention.Editorial Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Engineered Rivers in Arid Lands: Searching for Sustainability in Theory and Practice(Taylor & Francis, 2017) Schmandt, Jurgen; Ward, George; Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül; 04.04. Department of Political Science and International Relations; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityBeginning in the early twentieth century and progressing rapidly since the 1950s, large-scale water works have created engineered rivers. In dry-land basins they control flooding and provide water and energy to farms, cities and industry. Yet, they face numerous challenges. In 2013 we formed an interdisciplinary team to study future conditions of nine river basins worldwide. This paper presents the methodology and interim results for two of our basins, the Rio Grande and the Euphrates-Tigris. We conclude with a new definition of the sustainability of engineered rivers in arid lands, using dependable reservoir yield under drought conditions as the central indicator.Editorial Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 13Hepatic Decompensation in Patients With Hiv/Hepatitis B Virus (hbv)/Hepatitis C Virus (hcv) Triple Infection Versus Hiv/Hcv Coinfection and the Effect of Anti-Hbv Nucleos(t)ide Therapy(2014) Wang, Li; Devine, Scott; Lo Re, Vincent, III; Olufade, Temitope; Başer, Onur; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityThe incidence rate of hepatic decompensation was higher in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/hepatitis B virus (HBV)/hepatitis C virus (HCV) triple infection than in those with HIV/HCV coinfection (24.1 vs 10.8 events per 1000 person-years; hazard ratio [HR], 1.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.12–3.18). Compared with HIV/HCVinfected patients, the rate of decompensation was increased among HIV/HBV/HCV-infected patients receiving no anti-HBV therapy (HR, 2.48; 95% CI, 1.37–4.49) but not among those who did receive such therapy (HR, 1.09; 95% CI, .40–2.97)Editorial Memory and Anxiety: A Sociocultural Approach(Cambridge University Press, 2025) Batiashvili, Nutsa; Topcu, Meymune Nur; Wertsch, James, V.Editorial Citation - Scopus: 2Mr. Trump, Post Nuclear Ban Treaty, Nato’s Nuclear Weapons in Europe Are Obsolete(SETA, 2017) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa; Sauer, Tom; 04.04. Department of Political Science and International Relations; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityThis commentary makes the case as to why the U.S. tactical nuclear weapons that have been stationed in Europe since the 1960s should be removed, and how this could be done in the most effective way under the presidency of Donald Trump. It concludes with a summary of the expected benefits of this move, and a reminder that the costs of continued muddling through are substantial.Editorial Strategic Financial Management for Small and Medium Sized Companies Conclusion(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2015) Karadağ, Hande; 04.03.

MEF University...Editorial Strategic Financial Management for Small and Medium Sized Companies Introduction(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2015) Karadağ, Hande; 04.03. Department of Business Administration; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityResearch shows the majority of small businesses fail in their early years due to poor financial management, turning the dreams of many business owners and novice entrepreneurs into nightmares. This book serves as a guide to prevent these financial disasters. In an applicable fashion, Karadag explains how financial management in an enterprise can be conducted strategically to attain significant improvement in business performance. Karadag takes the basic strategic management model of environmental scanning-planning-implementing-feedback as a framework, and approaches the core financial practices and instruments as elements of strategic financial management, which any small or medium sized enterprise can use as tools for sustainable organizational performance and growth. With its unique strategic outlook, this text is a vital reference for nonfinancier small or medium sized enterprise owners and individuals who aim to successfully establish and run their own businesses.Editorial Strategic Financial Management for Small and Medium Sized Companies Preface(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2015) Karadağ, Hande; 04.03.

Department of Political Science and International Relations; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityWater is about people and human security. Unfortunately water has become a source of conflicts around the world, especially in the Middle East. There is a critical need for active water cooper- ation between nations in the region. This article discusses possible ways to achieve such cooperation, using tools developed under the Blue Peace concept. The article highlights a positive example of con- crete steps taken by Turkey and Iraq in the area of track-two hydro diplomacy, which could potentially expand to other countries in the region. Experiences from around the world demonstrate that sustainable active water cooperation is possible and there are many examples that could be adapted by countries in the Middle East.Editorial The Flipped Approach To Higher Education Designing Universities for Today's Knowledge Economies and Societies Preface(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2016) Sahin, Muhammed; Kurban, Caroline Fell; 04.02. Department of Psychology; 02.04. Department of Civil Engineering; 02. Faculty of Engineering; 04. Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; 01. MEF UniversityEditorial The Future of Türkiye-NATO Relations in Light of the Strained Transatlantic Dialogue(Seta Foundation, 2025) Kibaroğlu, M.; 01. MEF UniversityThis commentary aims to assess the impact of the changing approach of the U.S. under Trump's second administration on transatlantic relations, the future of NATO, its engagement in the war in Ukraine, and the prospects for further expansion toward the east. The paper also aims to shed light on how these developments may affect the future of Türkiye-NATO relations. While Türkiye remains a critical NATO member due to its strategic geography and military capabilities, domestic skepticism towards the Alliance has grown in response to unresolved disputes and perceived double standards. The commentary ultimately underscores that Türkiye’s future in NATO will depend on the Alliance’s ability to reconcile internal divisions, recalibrate its strategic vision, and balance Türkiye’s security concerns with broader transatlantic priorities. © 2025, SETA Foundation.
