    Coping with famines in Ottoman Anatolia (1650-1850)
    (Routledge, 2020) N/A; Çelik, Semih; Researcher; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/A
    This chapter attempts to stitch together that sporadic information to construct a longue duree analysis of famines that took place in Ottoman Anatolia for around two centuries defined by crises and reconfiguration. Pioneering studies have offered explanations for the late sixteenth-century political and demographic crisis in Ottoman Anatolia, focusing on the large-scale famines during the 1580–1630 period. Other studies on famines in the Ottoman Empire focus heavily on the later nineteenth century, a time when formal structures and policies of famine relief had been more firmly established by the Ottoman administrators. Historical famine studies seem, over a long period of continuing debates, to have come to an agreement that famines should be identified in connection to whether excessive deaths took place in a region or not. Bread prices in the pre-modern period show substantial short-term fluctuations due to frequent crises related to harvest conditions, transportation difficulties, wars and various other causes.

    Tissue welding by Thulium laser system: predosimetry studies
    (Routledge, 2009) Bilici, Temel; Tabakoğlu, Özgür; Topaloğlu, Nermin; Kurt, Adnan; Gülsoy, Murat; N/A; Department of Physics; Kalaycıoğlu, Hamit; Sennaroğlu, Alphan; PhD Student; Faculty Member; Department of Physics; Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; College of Sciences; N/A; 23851
    Abstract Laser tissue welding predosimetry studies are performed on Wistar rat skin by using diode-pumped and fiber-coupled Thulium (Tm:YAP) laser system emitting at 1980-nm, which is developed for medical applications. The success of laser tissue welding at 100 mW ve 160 mW of Tm:YAP laser powers is analyzed by macroscopy and histology results. Tm:YAP laser dosimetry of 100 mW, 5 second (34,66 W/cm2 ) is found successful for tissue welding studies. / Özetçe Medikal uygulamalar için geliştirilen 1980-nm dalgaboyunda ışıma yapan diyot pompalı Tulyum (Tm:YAP) laser sistemi ile Wistar tipi sıçan derisi üzerinde laser doku kaynağı öndoz çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Tm:YAP laserinin 100 mW ve 160 mW güçlerinde uygulanan laser doku kaynağının başarısı makro fotoğraflar ve histolojik sonuçlar ile analiz edilmiştir. Tm:YAP laser sisteminin 100 mW, 5 saniye (34,66 W/cm2 ) dozu doku kaynağı çalışmaları için başarılı bulunmuştur.

    Understanding eu fisheries management dynamics by engaging stakeholders through online group model-building
    (Mdpi, 2022) Gambino, Monica; Malvarosa, Loretta; N/A; Gerçek, Erda; Teaching Faculty; Graduate School of Business; N/A
    The Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) has a challenging mandate to find the right policy mix to simultaneously achieve all three aspects of sustainability: economic, social, and environmental. But development and implementation of an effective and sustainable fisheries management policy has been a challenge all over the world. The evidence of this failure is found in the continuous decline in fish stocks. Faced with the difficulty in fulfilling this mandate, the European Commission has increasingly been embracing fisheries stakeholders' involvement. Stakeholder involvement in policy development and implementation is important because it tries to bring the relevant interested parties together, understanding and paying attention to what is important to each and every stakeholder, identifying the individual and common issues. This process in turn can foster connections, trust, confidence, and buy-in, and commitment for the implementation of the policy. This research describes a group model-building (GMB) approach using system dynamic methodology as a participatory model building tool, enabling stakeholders to become deeply involved in the identification and modelling of the complex issues faced by the EU fisheries. Given the geographical diversity of the stakeholders, GMB was applied online, both synchronously and asynchronously, providing participants time to carefully reflect on key variables, their relationships, and the behaviour of the overall system. The study demonstrated the need and relevance of an adequate engagement of the stakeholders, with online stakeholder consultation proving an effective method of engagement. Hence, the study is very relevant for both scientists and managers. The GMB process meant the final model evolved significantly from the initial one offered, which pointed to active involvement in and progressive learning from the modelling process itself, as the methodology argues. Two quantitative stock-flow models using actual numbers were built not only to aid the GMB process but to depict how all three aspects of sustainability could actually be met with the right set of policies that consider feedback loops and inherent trade-offs.
