YBM tabanlı projelerde ortak veri ortamı uygulamasının yararlarının ve zorluklarının analiz edilmesi: proje performansı üzerindeki etkileri
The construction industry is an information- and communication-dependent industry which requires a collaborative working environment among several stakeholders. The amount of produced data is being excessive considering the whole lifecycle of a building from design through demolition. Especially in the construction phase, which consists of many various operations, information management is crucial for project management and successful completion of the project. Traditional project management practices remain insufficient to manage excessive data and workflows, which may result in non-value-added activities such as delays, reworks, and loss of productivity. Building information modeling (BIM) is emerging as one of the significant milestones on the digitalization of the construction industry, which is fundamentally a digital representation of a building. However, the BIM is criticized for being insufficient to support communication, collaboration, and data exchange processes. At that point, common data environments (CDEs) are extensively changing the ways of working in built environment by combining BIM and cloud computing technology. Despite the general perception and current practices, CDEs should not be considered only as a digital information repository. CDEs are enablers of efficient project management by connecting all project data, processes, and teams in a single platform under BIM infrastructure. An accurately structured CDE for a project can provide numerous benefits, boosting both short- and long-term goals, to project stakeholders. However, current practices and literature remain quite incapable to present whole aspects of CDEs as cloud computing in BIM is a relatively new technology in the industry. For this purpose, this study aims to reveal full potential of CDEs, focusing on both short- and long-term benefits as well as challenges, through literature review, interviews, and the Delphi method. Benefits and challenges of CDEs were identified by literature review and semi-structured interviews with 5 subject matter experts (SMEs). Identified benefits and challenges were prioritized using the Delphi method in two rounds with twelve SMEs to reveal most significant factors of CDE implementation. Furthermore, the impacts of identified benefits on project performance were investigated based on the seven construction key performance indicators (KPIs) (i.e., time, cost, quality, safety, productivity, organizational sustainability, and client satisfaction). The results of this research were validated using Cronbach's alpha, interrater agreement (IRA), and standard deviation statistics. This study presents a comprehensive overview on CDE implementation in BIM-based projects by considering the impacts on project performance. The results of this study can increase the awareness of CDE implementation in the construction industry and promote the use of CDEs in projects by clarifying their full potentials.İnşaat sektörü, çeşitli paydaşlar arasında işbirliğine dayalı bir çalışma ortamı gerektiren, bilgi ve iletişime bağımlı bir sektördür. Tasarımdan yıkıma kadar bir binanın tüm yaşam döngüsü düşünüldüğünde üretilen veri miktarı çok fazla olabilmektedir. Özellikle çok çeşitli operasyonlardan oluşan inşaat aşamasında bilgilerin yönetimi, projenin başarılı bir şekilde yönetilmesi ve tamamlanması için hayati önem taşır. Geleneksel proje yönetimi uygulamaları, gecikmeler, işlerin tekrar yapılması ve üretkenlik kaybı gibi katma değeri olmayan faaliyetlerle sonuçlanabilecek aşırı veri ve iş akışlarını yönetmek için yetersiz kalmaktadır. Temel olarak bir binanın dijital temsili olan yapı bilgi modellemesi (YBM), inşaat sektörünün dijitalleşmesinde önemli kilometre taşlarından biri olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Ancak, YBM iletişim, işbirliği ve veri alışverişi süreçlerini desteklemekte yetersiz olmakla eleştirilmektedir. Bu noktada, ortak veri ortamları (OVO'lar), yapı bilgi modellemesini bulut bilişim teknolojisiyle birleştirerek inşaat sektöründe çalışma yöntemlerini kapsamlı bir şekilde değiştirmektedir. Genel algı ve mevcut uygulamadaki anlayışın aksine ortak veri ortamları, sadece dijital bir bilgi deposu olarak görülmemelidir. Ortak veri ortamları tüm proje verilerini, süreçlerini ve ekiplerini YBM altyapısı altında tek bir platformda birbirine bağlayarak verimli proje yönetimine olanak sağlar. Bir proje için doğru yapılandırılmış bir ortak veri ortamı, tüm paydaşlara hem uzun hem de kısa vadeli hedefleri destekleyerek sayısız fayda sağlayabilir. Buna rağmen, mevcut uygulamalar ve literatür, YBM ile bulut bilişim inşaat sektöründe nispeten yeni bir teknoloji olduğundan, OVO'ların tüm yönlerini sunmakta oldukça yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu amaçla, bu çalışma, literatür taraması, görüşme ve Delphi yöntemini birleştirme yolu ile, OVO'ların hem kısa hem de uzun vadeli faydalarına odaklanarak tüm potansiyelini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. OVO'ların fayda ve uygulamadaki zorlukları literatür taraması ve konusunda uzman 5 kişi ile yapılmış yarı yapılandırılmış röportajlar ile belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda belirlenen faydalar ve zorluklar, OVO uygulamasındaki en önemli faktörleri ortaya çıkarmak için 12 katılımcı ile iki turdan oluşan Delphi yöntemi kullanılarak önceliklendirilmiştir. Ayrıca, belirlenen faydaların proje performansı üzerindeki etkileri, 7 inşaat anahtar performans göstergesine (zaman, maliyet, kalite, güvenlik, üretkenlik, organizasyonel sürdürülebilirlik ve müşteri memnuniyeti) dayalı olarak araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışma, proje performansı üzerindeki etkileri göz önünde bulundurarak YBM tabanlı projelerde OVO uygulamasına kapsamlı bir genel bakış sunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın sonuçları, inşaat endüstrisinde OVO uygulamalarının farkındalığını artırabilir ve OVO'ların tüm potansiyellerini açıklığa kavuşturarak projelerde kullanımını teşvik edebilir
Perceptual processes of children regarding their nearby home environments living in two socially diverse subcommunities
Human life that is collective and diverse on the one hand, but complex and chaotic on the other, is largely experienced in metropolitan cities owing to a significant amount of migration. Istanbul can be defined as a city that constantly witnesses massive influxes of migration and ultimately becomes socially heterogeneous. It was hypothesized in this study that the multilayered urban character of the city affects the perceptions of city-dwellers, especially children. As such, the study focused on the perceptual differences of children living in socially diverse urban settings, and a comparative analysis was conducted to reveal the children's environmental perceptions regarding their nearby home environments. This case-study-oriented research was conducted with 11-year-old children from two subcommunities both located in the periphery of Istanbul: one from a gecekondu settlement on the fringes of Istanbul, and the other, a planned residential settlement (PRS). The methodology was based on the representations by the children since this methodology has the potential to present an understanding of spatial perception through both quantitative and qualitative dimensions. A representation of children's houses with their immediate surroundings was requested from the children so that two different cognitive map datasets were obtained regarding two diverse subcommunities. Significant results were obtained in the study, in which gender and settlement type were used as independent variables. As a result, it was revealed that the girls were more inclined to draw their own rooms, were more focused on indoor spaces and were further apt to draw the domestic appliances. When the results were evaluated depending on the settlement type variable, it was revealed that those living in PRS represented indoors more and were specifically focused on their own rooms, while those living in gecekondu settlement tended to draw domestic appliances and outdoor spaces more
Yetişkin-çocuk ilişkileri bağlamında okul öncesi dönemdeki çocukların sosyal becerileri
Children's relationship with adults (e.g., teachers and parents) and within-family relationships (e.g., Parent-Parent) are important drivers for development of children's social competence (Acar et al., 2018; Diener & Kim, 2004). The aim of the current study was to investigate the contributions of adult-child relationships (parent-child and teacher-child) and parent-parent relationships to children's social competence in early childhood. The current study also investigated the moderating roles of teacher-child relationship on the association between parent-child relationships and children's social competence and parent-parent relationships and children's social competence. Participants were parents and teachers of 127 Turkish children (M: 54.65, SD: 9.22 months). Parents reported on parent-child (closeness and conflict) and parent-parent relationships (cooperation, conflict, and triangulation) and teachers reported on their relationships (closeness and conflict) with children and social competence of children. Hierarchical regression models accounting for nesting structure of the data were run to test the hypotheses. Results showed that there were no associations between parent-child relationship and children's social competence. In addition, it was found that there was no association between parent-parent relationship and children's social competence. However, there was a significant association between teacher-child relationship and children's social competence. Teacher-child closeness was positively and teacher-child conflict was negatively associated with children's social competence. Results also showed that teacher-child closeness moderated the association between parent-parent conflict and children's social competence. Simple slopes analyses showed that combinations of high levels of parent-conflict and low levels of teacher-child closeness undermined the children's social competence. The findings highlight the importance of both parent-parent and teacher-child relationships for children's social competence. In the light of the findings, it was discussed through previous studies, considering the limitation, future directions, and implications. Keywords: social competence, parent-child relationship, parent-parent relationship, teacher-child relationship, preschool childrenÇocukların yetişkinlerle olan ilişkileri (ör. öğretmenler ve ebeveynler) ve aile içi ilişkiler, çocukların sosyal yeterliliğinin geliştirilmesi için önemlidir (Acar ve ark., 2018; Diener ve Kim, 2004). Bu çalışmanın amacı, yetişkin-çocuk ilişkilerinin (ebeveyn-çocuk ve öğretmen-çocuk) ve ebeveyn-ebeveyn ilişkilerinin erken çocukluk döneminde çocukların sosyal yeterliliğine katkılarını incelemektir. Bu çalışma aynı zamanda öğretmen-çocuk ilişkisinin ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkileri ile çocukların sosyal yeterliliği ve ebeveyn-ebeveyn ilişkileri ile çocukların sosyal yeterliliği arasındaki ilişki üzerindeki ılımlı rollerini incelemiştir. Katılımcılar 127 Türk çocuğun ebeveynleri ve öğretmenleridir (ortalama yaş: 54.65, SS: 9,22 ay). Ebeveynler ebeveyn-çocuk (yakınlık ve çatışma) ve ebeveyn-ebeveyn ilişkileri (iş birliği, çatışma ve üçgenleme) hakkında, öğretmenler de çocuklarla ilişkileri (yakınlık ve çatışma) ve çocukların sosyal yeterliliği hakkında rapor verdiler. Verilerin iç içe geçme yapısını açıklayan hiyerarşik regresyon modelleri, hipotezi test etmek için çalıştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, ebeveyn-çocuk ilişkisi ile çocukların sosyal yeterlikleri arasında hiçbir ilişki olmadığını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, ebeveyn-ebeveyn ilişkisi ve çocukların sosyal yeterlilikleri arasında herhangi bir ilişki olmadığı bulunmuştur. Öğretmen-çocuk yakınlığı pozitif ve öğretmen-çocuk çatışması çocukların sosyal yeterlilikleri ile negatif ilişkiliydi. Ancak, öğretmen-çocuk ilişkisi ve çocukların sosyal yeterliliği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Sonuçlar ayrıca öğretmen-çocuk yakınlığının ebeveyn-ebeveyn çatışması ve çocukların sosyal yeterliliği arasındaki ilişkiyi denetlediğini göstermiştir. Basit eğim analizleri, yüksek düzeyde ebeveyn çatışması ve düşük düzeyde öğretmen-çocuk yakınlığı kombinasyonlarının çocukların sosyal yeterliliğine zarar verdiğini göstermiştir. Bulgular hem ebeveyn-ebeveyn hem de öğretmen-çocuk ilişkilerinin çocukların sosyal yeterliliği açısından önemini vurgulamaktadır. Bulgular ışığında, sınırlılıklar ve olası uygulamalar dikkate alınarak önceki çalışmalarla tartışılmıştır. Anahtar Kelimeler: sosyal yeterlilik, ebeveyn-çocuk İlişkisi, ebeveyn-ebeveyn ilişkisi, öğretmen-çocuk ilişkisi, okul öncesi çocukla
İşlerin zamana bağlı bozulduğu durumlar için özdeş olmayan paralel makinelerde çizelgeleme
We consider scheduling of deteriorating jobs on nonidentical parallel machines where the objective is to minimize mean flow time while ensuring the average value (i.e., quality) of processed jobs on machines exceeds a threshold. Deterioration is considered to be time-dependent and has a two-fold effect on jobs. The processing time of jobs as well as their values are deteriorating with time. We analyze the scheduling problem where the processing time and the value functions take linear (piece-wise linear) forms. We first formulate the problem as a mixed integer linear program and obtain optimal solutions for limited problem sizes. We then develop a heuristic algorithm to solve the problem and several ideas to sort jobs in the system. Linear and poisson regression models are trained to predict position of jobs on machines and also used in rank aggregation with simple sorting lists to provide better sorting approaches.Bu tez çalışmasında, özdeş olmayan paralel makinelere atanmış zamana duyarlı işlerin ortalama kalitesinin bir eşiği aşması sağlanırken, tüm işlerin ortalama akış süresini en aza indirmeyi amaçlayan bir çizelgeleme sorunu üzerine odaklanılmıştır. İşlerin sistemde geçirdikleri bekleme süresinin artması işlem sürelerini uzatırken kalitelerini ise zamanla bozmaktadır. İşlem süresi ve kalite fonksiyonlarının doğrusal formlar aldığı çizelgeleme problemini analiz ediyoruz ve çözmeye çalışıyoruz. Problem önce karışık tamsayılı bir lineer program olarak formüle ediliyor ve sınırlı problem boyutları için en iyi çözümler elde ediliyor. Daha sonra sorunu çözmek için sezgisel bir algoritma ve bekleyen işleri sıralamak için yeni fikirler geliştiriyoruz. Doğrusal ve poisson regresyon modelleri, işlerin makinelerdeki öncelik sırasını tahmin etmek için geliştirildi ve ayrıca daha iyi sıralama yaklaşımları sağlamak için sıra kümelemesi yöntemi kullanıldı
Müzakere tabanlı dağıtık anlaşmazlık çözümleme ile çoklu etmenli sistemlerde yol bulma
This thesis addresses the problem of Multi-Agent Path Finding problem where multiple agents aim to reach their destination in a grid world without any colli sion. It aims to provide a solution achieving good trade-off between the privacy of the agents and the effectiveness of solutions. Accordingly, a token-based bilateral negotiation approach is presented to solve this problem in a distributed way. The proposed approach is evaluated empirically in various scenarios by comparing it with state-of-the-art centralized approaches such as Conflict Based Search and its variants. The experimental results showed that the proposed approach can find conflict-free path solutions albeit suboptimally, especially when the search space is large and high-density, whereas centralized approaches struggle to find optimal solutions. Despite being outperformed by suboptimal centralized solvers, the pro posed decentralized approach can achieve considerable results with naive agents by sharing minimal information about themselves. The proposed approach also enables agents to have their autonomy; thus, the proposed approach is convenient for MAPF problems involving self-interested agents.Bu tez, coklu etmenli sistemlerde yol planlamas problemine, muzakere yontemi tabanl bir yakla s m geli stirmeyi hede iyor.

Dual camera based high spatio-temporal resolution video generation for wide area surveillance
Wide area surveillance (WAS) requires high spatiotemporal resolution (HSTR) video for better precision. As an alternative to expensive WAS systems, low-cost hybrid imaging systems can be used. This paper presents the usage of multiple video feeds for the generation of HSTR video as an extension of reference based super resolution (RefSR). One feed captures video at high spatial resolution with low frame rate (HSLF) while the other captures low spatial resolution and high frame rate (LSHF) video simultaneously for the same scene. The main purpose is to create an HSTR video from the fusion of HSLF and LSHF videos. In this paper we propose an end-to-end trainable deep network that performs optical flow (OF) estimation and frame reconstruction by combining inputs from both video feeds. The proposed architecture provides significant improvement over existing video frame interpolation and RefSR techniques in terms of PSNR and SSIM metrics and can be deployed on drones with dual cameras.TÜBİTA
Olaylardan elde edilen çıkarımsal kanıtların dilde kodlanması: Türkçe konuşan çocuklar ve yetişkinlerden örnekler
Learning and communicating about events are fundamental aspects of an individual’s life. Yet, how people learn about events often vary with some events perceived in their entirety and others are inferred based on available evidence. Here we investigate how children and adults linguistically encode the sources of their event knowledge. We focus on Turkish – a language that obligatorily encodes sources of information for past events using two evidentiality markers. Children (4- to 5-year-olds and 6- to 7-year-olds) and adults watched and described events that they directly saw or inferred based on visual cues. The indirectness of the visual evidence giving rise to an inference was also manipulated. The results revealed that participants modified the evidential marking in their descriptions depending on (a) whether they saw or inferred the event and (b) the indirectness of the visual cues giving rise to an inference. There were no differences across age groups. These findings suggest that Turkishspeaking children and adults’ use of evidentiality markers in language are sensitive to the indirectness of the inferential evidence.Olaylar hakkında bilgi edinmek ve bunlarla ilgili iletişim kurmak, insan yaşamının önemli bir parçasıdır. Ancak, insanların olaylar hakkındaki bilgileri hangi yoldan edindikleri olayların tamamına şahit olup olmadıklarına ya da mevcut kanıtlardan çıkarım yapmalarına bağlı olarak değişiklik gösterir. Bu çalışmada çocukların ve yetişkinlerin olaylar hakkındaki bilgileri nasıl edindiklerini dilsel olarak nasıl ifade ettikleri araştırılmıştır. Bunun için, iki kanıtsallık eki kullanılarak geçmiş olaylar için edinilen bilginin kaynağını belirtmenin dilbilgisi açısından zorunlu olduğu Türkçeye odaklanılmıştır. Anadili Türkçe olan çocuklar (4-5 yaşındakiler ve 6-7 yaşındakiler) ve yetişkinlerden, doğrudan gördükleri veya görsel ipuçlarına dayanarak çıkarım yapmak durumunda oldukları olayları izleyip gördüklerini anlatmaları istenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda hem çocukların hem de yetişkinlerin (a) olayı görüp görmediklerine veya çıkarımlarına ve (b) bir çıkarıma yol açan görsel ipuçlarının dolaylılığına bağlı olarak anlatımlarındaki kanıtsallık eklerini değiştirdikleri bulunmuştur. Bu bulgular, Türkçe konuşan çocukların ve yetişkinlerin dilde kanıtsallık eklerini kullanmalarının onların çıkarımsal kanıtların dolaylılığına duyarlı olduğunu göstermiştir

The typological plan of Zaragoza for the typological process of the medieval city
Studies on the formation process of building types delineate a long term transition in the form of the city. The findings
of the excavations done in Palmyra and Bet Shean have revealed that the transition from the late Roman period to the
Umayyad one happened with strong continuity of the built environment (Raymond, 2008). The evolution of building
types has been expounded by Caniggia (1979) in Naples as the formation of courtyard houses over the Roman Domus
substrata. Meanwhile, no trace of transition from Roman Domus was found in parts of central Italy (including Rome),
southern Italy (excluding Naples), and Provence (Petruccioli, 2008). This paper aims to describe the typological process
subsistent in the development of medieval Zaragoza with reference to the forces shaping the building blocks and their
organization. The city of Zaragoza was founded by Caesar Augustus as a colony after the victory of the Roman Empire
in the Cantabrian Wars in 14 BC on the site of an Iberian city named Saldube. In the VIII century, the Roman city was
included in the Umayyad caliphate. Previous theoretical reconstructions based on archeological evidence cast the urban
tissue of Caesar Augusta into a grid plan with special buildings and courtyard houses as the leading residential type. This
study evaluates the territory as a historically identified organism (Strappa, Carlotti, Camiz, 2017) by mounting the
individual building survey plans done by Dionisio Casañal y Zapatero for the Geographic and Cadastral Institute of
Zaragoza in 1911 into a typological plan in order to individuate the typological process within the medieval city
Search for long-lived particles decaying to leptons with large impact parameter in proton–proton collisions at s√=13TeV
A search for new long-lived particles decaying to leptons using proton–proton collision data produced by the CERN LHC at s=13Te is presented. Events are selected with two leptons (an electron and a muon, two electrons, or two muons) that both have transverse impact parameter values between 0.01 and 10cm and are not required to form a common vertex. Data used for the analysis were collected with the CMS detector in 2016, 2017, and 2018, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 118 (113)fb-1 in the ee channel (eμ and μ μ channels). The search is designed to be sensitive to a wide range of models with displaced eμ, ee, and μ μ final states. The results constrain several well-motivated models involving new long-lived particles that decay to displaced leptons. For some areas of the available phase space, these are the most stringent constraints to date.BMBWF and FWF (Austria); FNRS and FWO (Belgium); CNPq, CAPES, FAPERJ, FAPERGS, and FAPESP (Brazil); MES and BNSF (Bulgaria); CERN; CAS, MoST, and NSFC (China); MINCIENCIAS (Colombia); MSES and CSF (Croatia); RIF (Cyprus); SENESCYT (Ecuador); MoER, ERC PUT and ERDF (Estonia); Academy of Finland, MEC, and HIP (Finland); CEA and CNRS/IN2P3 (France); BMBF, DFG, and HGF (Germany); GSRI (Greece); NKFIA (Hungary); DAE and DST (India); IPM (Iran); SFI (Ireland); INFN (Italy); MSIP and NRF (Republic of Korea); MES (Latvia); LAS (Lithuania); MOE and UM (Malaysia); BUAP, CINVESTAV, CONACYT, LNS, SEP, and UASLP-FAI (Mexico); MOS (Montenegro); MBIE (New Zealand); PAEC (Pakistan); MSHE and NSC (Poland); FCT (Portugal); JINR (Dubna); MON, RosAtom, RAS, RFBR, and NRC KI (Russia); MESTD (Serbia); SEIDI, CPAN, PCTI, and FEDER (Spain); MOSTR (Sri Lanka); Swiss Funding Agencies (Switzerland); MST (Taipei); ThEPCenter, IPST, STAR, and NSTDA (Thailand); TUBITAK and TAEK (Turkey); NASU (Ukraine); STFC (United Kingdom); DOE and NSF (USA).
