Investigation of Some Real Estate Valuation Problems in Turkey

The urban population increases after the industrial revolution also increased the commercialization of real estate. In the future, this situation would require being able to determine the real estate values more than before. Today, real estate values are of much greater importance in terms of socioeconomic relations and activities in the world. Establishing a standardized real estate valuation system is among the important duties of public administrations. However, in general, the countries that could not catch up with the industrial revolution in the world and whose industrialization started very late and were not mature enough, could not reach the desired level in terms of real estate valuation. In other words, lagging in industrialization naturally leads to being late and behind in the real estate valuation branch, which is an output of industrialization. The problem created by this situation cannot remain local in today's socioeconomically globalized world. Therefore, the problem affects the whole world and developed countries. In this context, as an example, this study presents the contradictions related to the real estate legislation in Turkey and the application errors in valuation and offers suggestions for the elimination of all these.

Meta-synthesis of Research on Green Port Performance Evaluation Criteria

The green port concept refers to measures preventing ports’ negative effects on the environment. Ports are expected to adopt green measures within the framework of environmental concerns and sustainable development goals. To analyze if a port’s processes adopt the green concept, evaluation criteria should be defined. Existing literature handles this topic from regional perspectives or in terms of relations with other concepts. This study, which is the meta-synthesis of related articles (n=22), aimed to propose a common list of green port evaluation criteria for the development and operating sequences of a port. As the result of the meta-synthesis, it was revealed that the evaluation of green ports is based on six main criteria: environmental, energy and resources, management, social, ecological, and economical. Twenty-two sub-criteria were identified that are linked to the main criteria. By using the critical statements in the reviewed articles, the codes supporting these sub-criteria were determined. This model has revealed that a port adopting the green concept should consider all the dimensions of sustainability (economic, environmental, and social).

On the Issue of Systematization of Modern Terminology of Advertising and Public Relations

Introduction. The dynamic development and diversification of the modern public sphere, especially in the conditions of total digitalization and mediatization, requires modern scientific reflection.The article proposes the principles of classification of the system of terms of advertising and public relations. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the operationality of using a nested method of lexicographic fixation of advertising and public relations terms based on the classical model of G. Lasswell's communication of concepts.Methodology and sources. The problems of lexicography of terms of the communication sphere (journalism, applied communications, media communications) have their own scientific reflection. The article proposes a model of a modern dictionary of advertising and public relations, where the components of the G. Lasswell model form the basis of the nest principle.Results and discussion. The article suggests the main nests (conceptual and terminological fields) of the dictionary of advertising and public relations: basic; communication subjects; communication objects; communication tools (traditional and new); communication technologies; communication results; communication product. The analysis of the composition of dictionary nests made it possible to identify dichotomies as classifying features of dictionary terms: according to the original scientific discipline; according to the use in the thematic field; according to etymology; according to the writing of borrowings; according to the structure; according to the productivity of the word-formation model.Conclusion. Description and classification of the terminology of advertising and public relations revealed a number of problems of describing the terms of new social practices and scientific disciplines: the boundaries of the subject of research; the principles of selection of sources, the specifics of lexicographic processing (from the dictionary to the glossary and dictionary). The work on the dictionary may in the future provide material for discussing a number of linguistic tasks proper.

Flow and thermal fields modeling in jet impingement configurations using a Reynolds stress turbulence closure within the RANS and Sensitized-RANS framework

The flow and thermal field characteristics underlying turbulent convective heat transfer in two reference configurations, representing a jet exiting a planar slot and a circular tube and impinging on a heated wall, are studied computationally. The performance of a conventional Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) and its scale-resolving variant, employed in the context of a time-accurate Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulation, is investigated in conjunction with different modeling approaches for the turbulent heat flux uj′θ′¯, whose gradient represents the turbulence-induced heat source in the temperature transport equation. In this so-called Sensitized-RANS modeling strategy, employing an improved eddy-resolving instability-sensitive Reynolds Stress Model (IISRSM, Jakirlić and Maduta (2015)), the unresolved ‘sub-scale’ turbulent correlations represent the solutions of a set of corresponding transport equations for the entire stress tensor ui′uj′¯. The turbulent scalar-flux models follow from the classical gradient-diffusion approach with the diffusion-like coefficients formulated as a function of both the scalar eddy-viscosity and the anisotropic Reynolds stress tensor. The latter model expressions also take into account various non-linear relationships in terms of turbulent stress components. The computational results of the fully-developed channel flow, featured only by the mean shear and constant wall heat flux, representing a preliminary investigated flow configuration, agree very well with the corresponding DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) database for both RSM versions in conjunction with all the turbulent heat flux models adopted. However, the study of the two flow impingement cases with the different structure of the impinging jet and nozzle-to-wall distance variations, characterized by a much more complex flow straining, using the considered conventional Reynolds stress model shows significantly different results for the Reynolds stress and thermal fields compared to the available DNS data, especially in the immediate impact region manifested by a significant overprediction of the turbulence intensity. In contrast, the IISRSM-relevant results for the mean flow and temperature fields, the associated integral characteristics, and the corresponding turbulence quantities are in very good agreement with the reference DNS data, due to the much higher predictive capabilities of this eddy-resolving turbulence model compared to its baseline counterpart.

Real polynomials with constrained real divisors. I. Fundamental groups

In the late 80s, V. Arnold and V. Vassiliev initiated the topological study of the space of real univariate polynomials of a given degree [Formula: see text] and with no real roots of multiplicity exceeding a given positive integer. Expanding their studies, we consider the spaces [Formula: see text] of real monic univariate polynomials of degree [Formula: see text] whose real divisors avoid sequences of root multiplicities, taken from a given poset [Formula: see text] of compositions which is closed under certain natural combinatorial operations. In this paper, we concentrate on the fundamental group of [Formula: see text] and of some related topological spaces. We find explicit presentations for the groups [Formula: see text] in terms of generators and relations and show that in a number of cases they are free with rank bounded from above by a quadratic function in [Formula: see text]. We also show that [Formula: see text] stabilizes for [Formula: see text] large. The mechanism that generates [Formula: see text] has similarities with the presentation of the braid group as the fundamental group of the space of complex monic degree [Formula: see text] polynomials with no multiple roots and with the presentation of the fundamental group of certain ordered configuration spaces over the reals which appear in the work of Khovanov. We further show that the groups [Formula: see text] admit an interpretation as special bordisms of immersions of one-manifolds into the cylinder [Formula: see text], whose images avoid the tangency patterns from [Formula: see text] with respect to the generators of the cylinder.

Determination of Spatial Pattern of Environmental Consequences of Dams in Watersheds

Many hydro-dams have been built for beneficial gains, but they are causing numerous unintended negative effects on the environment. The complexity of dam impacts and the insufficient knowledge of developing countries result in many uncertainties in managing land systems and environmental impact assessments (EIAs). Also, considering the consequences beyond the dam sites proved challenging in EIAs. In this context, this paper aims to determine the spatial pattern of the environmental consequences of dams, quantify the distance of impacts, and identify different patterns in both upstream and downstream areas. We considered the hydrological linkage of dams with wetlands in watersheds and the spatial relationship between watersheds to explicate the spatial pattern. Two hundred and ninety wetlands in the Mekong, Salween, and Irrawaddy Basins were categorized into those linked with dams and those without dams, and the hydrological characteristics were statistically compared for two periods (before and after the dam booms) using the Mann–Whitney U test. The watersheds having significant differences were found, and their spatial relationship in terms of location (i.e., upstream and downstream) and distance was determined by utilizing the HydroBASINS’ Pfafstetter coding system. The results indicate that the impacts of dams on downstream areas extend significantly farther than their effects on upstream regions in HydroBASINS level-7 representation. The quantitatively determined spatial patterns on upstream and downstream areas can provide accurate spatial baseline information in land system management and EIA.

Tailoring the microstructure and mechanical properties of LPSO-containing Mg–Ni cast alloy by yttrium addition

The effect of yttrium addition on the evolution of phases, grain refinement, and mechanical behavior of Mg-0.5Ni cast alloy was investigated. It was observed that while the base alloy contained a eutectic structure containing α-Mg and Mg2Ni, in the Y-containing alloys, the long period stacking ordered (LPSO) structures and Mg24Y5 phase appeared at the expense of the eutectic structure. The dendrite arm spacing (DAS) was significantly refined, so that adding 0.5 and 2 at% Y led to the refinement of DAS from 141 to 56 and 22 μm, respectively. Accordingly, hardness, tensile and shear strength were improved, being successfully represented by the Hall-Petch-type relationships in terms of DAS. The highest elongation to failure in tensile tests was obtained at 0.5 % Y addition, which was ascribed to the refinement of microstructure and partial replacement of the deleterious α-Mg + Mg2Ni eutectic structure by the LPSO phase. However, further addition of Y led to the formation of intergranular interconnected network of LPSO structure with deteriorated ductility. Therefore, the best strength-ductility synergy was obtained for the Mg99Ni0.5Y0.5 alloy, as evaluated by the tensile toughness. Finally, the tensile and shear properties were correlated according to the von-Mises criterion.

The effects of past and expected experiences on revisit intention: a study of Australian and Indonesian tourists

PurposeThis study aims to better understand tourists’ revisit intention from their perspectives of past and expected experience and to investigate whether the formation of revisit intention differs between tourists from different nationalities.Design/methodology/approachThe sample consisted of 250 Indonesian tourists who have visited Australia and 275 Australian tourists who have visited Indonesia. The data were analysed by conducting structural equation modelling and multi-group analysis with group comparisons.FindingsIndonesian tourists’ intention to revisit Australia was influenced by past feeling experience and expected experience, while Australian tourists’ intention to revisit Indonesia was influenced by past feeling and relating experiences and expected experience. Both samples differ significantly in terms of relations between experiences and revisit intention. The relationship between past thinking experience and revisit intention was positive for Indonesians but negative for Australians. The relationship between past relating and expected experience was positive for Australians but negative for Indonesians. In addition, the influence of expected experience on revisit intention was stronger for Australian than Indonesian tourists.Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study, for the first time, enriches tourism literature in understanding revisit intention by investigating revisit intention in relation to both past and expected experiences, along with examining nationality differences in the revisit intention formation.

Numerical homogenization by an adaptive Fourier spectral method on non-uniform grids using optimal transport

This article focuses on the computation of the solutions to periodic cell problems that arise in a number of homogenization schemes. Formulated in terms of a generic constitutive relation, encompassing the linear and non-linear cases, a model problem is intended to be discretized on a Fourier-basis and solved using a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based iterative scheme. Such a spectral method, which makes use of a uniform grid and global basis functions, has inherent limitations for correctly capturing any localized features of the solution, such as singularities or discontinuities. An adaptive method is proposed here to overcome these shortcomings. It relies on the introduction of a non-homogeneous bijective mapping between the original physical domain and a computational domain, where the Fourier spectral method will be used to solve a transformed problem. This makes it possible both to discretize the original equations on a non-uniform grid, concentrating grid points where necessary to increase computational accuracy, and to maintain the use of standard FFT schemes. To compute the mapping, an approach based on optimal transport is proposed and a numerical scheme based on FFT tools is described. A number of adaptive strategies are then discussed, either based on a priori material-based considerations, or a posteriori using a preliminary solution. The properties of the transported problem in the computational domain are described and the applicability, up to minor modifications, of a number of standard iterative schemes is discussed. A set of numerical examples is included to assess the performances of the method, both in the case of linear conductivity and for a strongly non-linear elastoplastic problem, evaluating its results both qualitatively with full-field comparisons and quantitatively with error measurements relatively to the number of iterations, the discretization and the original material contrast. Overall, these results show that, for a given discretization and compared with a computation on a regular grid, a systematic gain in accuracy is obtained using the adaptive method on a non-uniform grid.

Equivariant K-theory of Springer varieties

The aim of this paper is to describe the topological equivariant K-ring, in terms of generators and relations, of a Springer variety Fλ of type A associated to a nilpotent operator having Jordan canonical form whose block sizes form a weakly decreasing sequence λ=(λ1,…,λl). This parallels the description of the equivariant cohomology ring of Fλ due to Abe and Horiguchi and generalizes the description of ordinary topological K-ring of Fλ due to Sankaran and Uma [13].

The influences of boundary spanning capabilities and long–term orientation on opportunism in inter–firm relationships

ABSTRACT Opportunism is a common issue in inter – firm relationships, which increases transaction costs, impairs firm performance and supply chain efficiency, and deteriorates relationship quality. Previous studies have intensively investigated factors influencing opportunism but overfocusing on the organisational level. Recently, supply chain researchers have called for identifying factors influencing opportunism at the individual level to gain a more comprehensive understanding of opportunism. Based on transaction cost theory, resource dependence theory, and boundary spanning theory, this study seeks to advance the emerging research stream on opportunism at the individual level by investigating how buyer agents’ boundary spanning capabilities and firms’ long – term relationship orientation can help manage supplier agents’ opportunism. Using a cross – sectional data set of 406 buyer agents from manufacturing companies collected from February to April 2021 in Japan, we tested a set of hypotheses through regression and conditional process analyses. Our findings suggest that buyer agents’ strategic communication and firms’ long – term relationship orientation are critical factors that reduce supplier agents’ opportunism.

Analysis and Forecast of Contemporary Chinese Population

The analysis and projection of current Chinese population dynamics is the main emphasis of this study. This topic is extremely important in terms of demography, economics, sociology, and international relations. With approximately 1.43 billion people, China is the most populous country in the world and a worldwide giant in both economic and geopolitical terms. This study looks at historical, cultural, economic, and policy-related issues in an effort to understand the intricacies that have led China to this demographic prominence. China's population increase may be traced back to its ancient civilization, which cultivated cultural customs and conventions that still have an impact on demographic patterns now. The demographic dividend, a population surge in the middle of the 20th century, signaled a turning point, and the one-child policy that followed, implemented in 1979, produced distinctive demographic contours and long-term repercussions. Fertility rates and generational dynamics have been influenced by the government's evolution of family planning programs, which have ranged from strict measures to more relaxed methods. Understanding and predicting China's population changes is urgent because of the societal and worldwide repercussions of this country's changing demographics. This study sets out on an exploratory trip to understand the complex causes and possible future trends in light of previous studies. This paper wants to contribute to a thorough knowledge of China's demographic evolution and its effects on global society by shedding light on these factors.

“In the Midst of Chaos There Was Shape”: Formalist Aesthetics and Ekphrasis in To the Lighthouse

Abstract Virginia Woolf’s autobiographical novel To the Lighthouse explicitly connects itself with Bloomsbury formalist aesthetics, with a special acknowledgement of Roger Fry’s formalist influence. This essay focuses on the influence of Fry’s formalist principles on To the Lighthouse, but additionally proposes a reorientation of reading that argues for Woolf’s modifications of formalism, which is concretized as the reconciliation of formalism and everyday life, where everyday life is specified as Woolf’s notion of “moments of being.” The essay contends that such a reconciliation is facilitated by representation and thus adopts James Heffernan’s theory of ekphrasis to analyse Lily Briscoe’s painting. Drawing on Heffernan’s definitions of ekphrasis, this essay regards the formalist elements in Lily’s picture as representational but not pictorial, whereas the object represented in Lily’s picture – in the text, Mrs. Ramsay – is of second-degree representationality, which spells out as intimacy and unity in terms of human relations. With intimacy and unity as core values in her mind, Lily eventually manages to represent Mrs. Ramsay’s being until “there she sat.”

Private Investment and Economic Development: Ensuring Sustainability in the Future

Objectives: The objectives of this study are 1) to examine the role of private investment in economic development towards sustainability in Vietnam by utilizing provincial-level data from the period 2000–2020 and 2) to construct an economic development index based on four main pillars: economy, science and technology, energy models, and multidimensional poverty. Methods/Analysis: The study employed the CS-ARDL estimation method to investigate the short- and long-term relationships between private investment and economic development. Furthermore, to address issues related to slope heterogeneity, endogeneity, and cross-sectional dependence, the study applied the AMG and CCEMG models to assess this relationship in the long term. Findings: The study identified a positive long-term relationship between private investment and economic development. Additionally, investment in science and technology, agricultural land urbanization, vocational training for labor, trade openness, and private sector finance exhibited significant associations with private investment. Novelty/Improvement: The study successfully developed an economic development index and elucidated the relationship between private investment and economic development. The research underscores two critical strategies for attracting and promoting private sector investment: improving the workforce through training and expanding export markets. The effective implementation of these strategies can address subsequent challenges and expedite sustainable economic development progress. Doi: 10.28991/HEF-2023-04-04-04 Full Text: PDF

The Impact of Human Relationships to Material Acquisition in Construction Projects

Construction projects have long been plagued with issues of delays, over budget and poor quality. One of the main factors that have been associated with the common issues is material acquisition, with delays in the arrival of material, poor material quality, materials that do not comply with the required specification, unavailability of required construction materials, damaged materials, loss of construction materials sent to site, theft and vandalism. Even though construction material acquisition is an arising problem in the industry, the studies conducted in this area is still scarce. Previous studies have mainly focused on isolated subjects in material acquisition, rather than the entire spectrum on the subject matter. Therefore, this study aims to establish the improvement strategies for construction material acquisition from the human relationships perspective. A quantitative questionnaire was sent to the respondents via email, personally distributed to the contractor’s office, WhatsApp's application and google form to 1200 active contractor that have been registered with CIDB Malaysia under grade G7. The respondents were limited to purposive sampling criteria which have been determined earlier. Based on the data from 286 questionnaires, findings in this research were structured and analysed using descriptive statistical analysis (mean, standard deviation and frequency) with the aid of SPSS24 software. Finding from the results revealed that the improvement of human relationship was critical to improve construction material acquisition hence, addressing urgent issues including long term relationship such as trust, experience, and responsiveness, clearly understand the client’s needs and objectives, establish strategic partnership with suppliers and long-term resources commitment achieved the highest percentage from respondents. Finally, the study on the impact of human relationships to material acquisition in construction projects can be used as a guidance to enhance the construction material acquisition approach for contractors undertaking projects in Malaysia.

A phenomenological inquiry into students’ research practice experiences in Iran’s higher education: special focus on supervisor-student relationships

ABSTRACT The increasing demands on faculty members and students to conduct research might result in domination in supervisor-student relations across cultural contexts. This study aimed to explore how students’ research relationships with their supervisors are manifested within TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) postgraduate curriculum in Iran’s higher education. In so doing, 17 MA and PhD students, drawing upon phenomenological research, were recruited to participate in the study. The findings, analyzed through thematic analysis, suggest that university professors, by building low-quality, hierarchical relationships in terms of professional and interpersonal relations concerning research engagement, sustain their power relations which might be construed as accepted norms within Iran’s higher education setting. The study brings ethical behavior into focus to humanize research practice and improve supervision processes/outcomes.

Zero utility principles coinciding on binary risks

AbstractIt is known that the zero utility principle under Cumulative Prospect Theory can be uniquely extended from the family of all ternary risks. On the other hand, the extension from the family of all binary risks need not be unique. We establish a characterization of those zero utility principles which coincide on the family of binary risks. The characterization is expressed in terms of relations between the systems of generators of the principles.

The results of asking a deceptively simple question: what is for sale in Australian VET markets?

ABSTRACT Assuming Australian training markets represent successful policy implementation facilitates an exploration of the implications for their future evolution by querying what is sold in these markets. A Foucauldian discourse analysis of relevant documentation suggests that training markets overwhelmingly provide products and/or services. Further examination finds that these two are conceptually confused as is the contention of a single national vocational education and training market. Ontological rhetorics have been used to indiscriminately conflate products and services in pursuit of preferred political values. The performative work being done by uncritically mingling the discourses of two distinctively different markets for bureaucratic and political purposes, when combined with executive federalism, contributes to VET’s exasperating complexity. Brief transactions that provide multiple useful, yet low-value, compliance-driven products differ substantially from markets that deliver educational services by developing longer term relationships that increase the national stock of higher level occupational skills. Making explicit the different perspectives that have fashioned the product and services artefacts invites more tailored market operational and regulatory approaches as well as creating the possibility of a more inclusive approach to VET policy making and delivery of vocational knowledges.
