Design of a linear quadratic gaussian controller for a manufacturing process
No full textYurtseven, Murat Kudret (Dogus Author), Ağaran, Berrin (Dogus Author)In this study, the design procedure and the performance analysis of a linear quadratic gaussian controller (LQGC) are presented. The controller is expected to regulate the production–inventory process of a manufacturing system along a pre-determined trajectory within the plant hierarchical control system; the hierarchical control structure is also described briefly in this chapter. The LQGC is based on a dynamic, discrete-time, and a stochastic model, aggregating products, and production processes. The simulation results show that the LQGC is well -suited for the intended purpose

No full textA Comparative Study on Nadine Gordimer's 'none To Accompany Me' and Its Turkish Translation in Terms of Postcolonial Themes and Language
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı Nadine Gordimer'ın Nobel Edebiyat Ödülü'nü aldıktan sonra yazdığı ilk romanı olan Yanımda Kimse Yok adlı eserinin Türkçeye çevirisini, biçem ve tema çerçevesinde incelemektir. Çalışmada Nadine Gordimer'ın tercih edilme sebebi, V. S. Naipaul, Chinua Achebe, Salman Rushdie gibi sömürgecilik sonrası dönemi ele alan birçok önemli yazarın dışında, Güney Afrikalı kadın bir yazarı incelemektir. Sömürgecilik sonrası dönemini yansıtan None To Accompany Me ve kitabın Türkçe çevirisi Yanımda Kimse Yok arasında çeviri üzerine yapılan bu nitel karşılaştırmada, koloni sonrası döneme ait temaların, dil ve biçemin hedef kültür olan Türkçe'ye aktarımının, Paul Bandia'nın üç katmanlı yaklaşımı ile incelenmesi uygun görülmüştür. Sömürge sonrası dönem eserlerinin dil, biçem ve içerdiği temalardan kaynaklı farklılıklarından ötürü, çevirmenin kullandığı çeviri stratejisi Paul Bandia'nın üç katmanlı çeviri yaklaşımı çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Bu yaklaşımın ilk basamağı Vinay and Darbalnet'in çeviri metodları, ikinci ve üçüncü basamağı ise Lawrence Venuti'nin yerlileştirme ve yabancılaştırma yaklaşımı açısından analiz edilmiştir. Genel olarak bu çalışmanın amacı, sömürgecilik sonrası metinlere özel olan biçem ve tema özelliklerinin hedef kültüre çeviribilim bağlamında aktarımını incelemektir.The aim of this study is to examine the translation of Turkish version of Nadine Gordimer's first novel None to Acoompany Me written after receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature within the framework of style, language and theme. The reason why Nadine Gordimer was preferred in this study is to examine a South African woman author other than many important authors in the postcolonial period such as V. S. Naipaul, Chinua Achebe and Salman Rushdie. As None to Accompany Me has specific cultural elements, linguistic structures and postcolonial themes that are intrinsic to the postcolonial period, it is conceded to benefit from two translational approaches and one translation method during the analysis of translator's translation strategy. Paul Bandia's tripartite or three-tier translation approach will be used as the main method and Lawrence Venuti's foreignization and domestication approach and Vinay and Darbalnet's translation procedures will be considered as supporting methods during the qualitative comparison of two books. The first translation step of Bandia's approach will be analyzed within the framework of Vinay and Darbalnet's methods and the second and third steps of translation process will be assessed in terms of Lawrence Venuti's foreignization and domestication approach. In general, the aim of this study is to examine the transfer of indigenous style and thematic features that are specific to the postcolonial texts to the target culture and language that is unfamiliar to postcolonial spirit
What Turkey expects from logistics outsourcing?
No full textÜlengin, Füsun (Dogus Author) -- Ağaran, Berrin (Dogus Author) -- Önsel, Şule (Dogus Author) -- Conference full title: IX International logistics & supply chain congress: international retail logistics in the value era: 27-29 October 2011, Çesme, İzmir, TurkeyThe economies of the world have become increasingly interdependent, and organizations have come under tremendous pressure to maximize productivity and profitability. Creating value through outsourcing has emerged as a popular competitive strategy for firms of all sizes in all types of industries. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of third party logistics in Turkish companies from the users’ perspective to identify the types of logistics services outsourced, problems encountered in outsourcing these services, logistics costs, decision makers in outsourcing logistics activities, and information sources used in the decision-making process. A structured survey was selected as the tool for data collection. The field study involved face-to-face interviews with 204 companies out of top 500 companies ranked in terms of turnover that are registered with industrial associations and chambers of commerce in Turkey. Moreover, a decision support system based on Bayesian Causal Map is proposed for 3PLs in order to assist them in their service proposals for different sectors. This study is a first attempt to reveal and compare the outsourcing perception of the companies in different sectors, to expose the firms’ underlying motives as well as the respective importance of these motives for outsourcing logistics activities in Turkey. The use of Bayesian Causal Map based on the survey results provides an important guide to the 3PL providers to pick a suitable strategy and to prioritize their operational activities in different sectors in such a way to achieve a competitive advantage
A comprehensive analysis of the logistics sector in Turkey to identify the requirements for technological improvement
No full textAğaran, Berrin (Dogus Author) -- Ülengin, Füsun (Dogus Author) -- Önsel, Şule (Dogus Author) -- Conference full title: The 12th World Conference on Transportation Research, 11-15 July, 2010, Lisbon.Supply Chain Management is a management philosophy developed after realizing the necessity of coordinating the firms in order to increase profitability and survive in the market under the circumstances of rough and rapidly increasing global competition. According to this philosophy, all the processes from raw material procurement to final product sales and all the players who take place in these processes are the links of a chain. The success of the supply chain depends on the success of the each member across the chain, however the success of individual participants itself does not mean a successful SCM application is achieved. Hence the paper aims at analyzing the basic actors of the logistics sector in Turkey; namely logistics service providers, logistics service customers, the equipment and hardware providers, and logistics information system providers to reveal the snapshot of each party and to point out the gaps regarding requirements of different sectors and offered services. A field study involving face-to-face interviews with each of the 428 companies operating in the logistics sector as customers, service providers, information systems providers or equipment providers was performed for the research. The requirements for technological improvement in these four perspectives as well as in the logistics sector globally are identified by exposing open-ended questions of the interviews. The requirements are sorted according to the strategic considerations of the sector stakeholders. Finally a global result is established for the logistic sector by using order weighted averaging operator

Deshti Qipchaq in 16 century according to Travelogue by Maciej Miechowita (Text-analyzing-commentary)
No full textLeh tarihçi Maciej Miechowita İki Sarmatya: Asya-Avrupa Sakinleri Hakkında Tetkikat isimli eserinde şöyle der: "Güney Yurdu ve Hindistan'a kadarki tüm kıyı halkları Portekiz kralı tarafından keşfedildi. Leh kralının ordusu tarafından keşfedilen ve Kuzey Denizi'nden doğuya kadar uzanan bir alanda yaşayan halkla Kuzey Yurdu ise şimdi tüm dünyanın malumu olacaktır". Nitekim müellifin ön görüsü boşa çıkmadı ve Miechowita külliyatı uzun süre Avrupa'da en çok tartışılan ve istifade edilen eserlerden biri haline geldi. Böylelikle bu tarih kaynağının farklı dillere çevrilmesi de kaçınılmaz oldu. Asya ve Avrupa Sarmatyası olmak üzere iki kısımdan müteşekkil külliyat, yazarın Olomouc piskoposu Stanislav Thurzo'yu muhatap alan mektubuyla başlamıştır. Söz konusu mektup eserin giriş kısmı mahiyetindedir. Birinci faslın birinci bölümünde; öncelikle Asya ve Avrupa kıtalarının sınır bölgesinin kısa bir tarifi yapılmış, daha sonra yazarın Tatar adıyla andığı Moğolların ilk kez bu topraklarda ortaya çıkışı, Doğu Avrupa seferleri, Hristiyan âleminin Moğol hanlarına elçi gönderişi, genel itibarıyla Tatarların fiziksel ve karakteristik özellikleri, halkın gelenek görenekleri, yerleşim yerleri, yaşayış ve inanç biçimleri gibi unsurlar ile hanların şeceresi tetkik edilmiştir. Devam eden bölümlerde ise; Türklerle meskûn Sarmatya'da vaktiyle hüküm süren Gotlar, Alanlar, Vandallar, Sueviler ve Ugorlar gibi topluluklardan bahsedilmiş; ayrıca yazarın kökenini Tatar soyuna dayandırdığı Osmanlılar ile Altın Orda Devleti, Kırım ve Kazan hanlıkları ile Nogay Orda anlatılmıştır. Avrupa Sarmatyası'na adanmış ikinci fasılda ise, genel olarak yazar Rusya'yı ve Moskova'yı iki ayrı ülke olarak birbirinden ayırmış; Rusya başlığı altında bu topraklara dâhil ettiği Kiev, Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk vb. kneziklikler ile Litvanya'yı incelemiştir. İlk bölümde Rusya coğrafyasının ayrıntılı bir tasviri yapılmış, ülkede bulunan yiyecek-içecek, halkın inanç biçimi gibi konulara yer verilmiştir. Litvanya ve Sarmatya coğrafyasının genel bir tasviri ile Litvanya Büyük Dukalığı'nın siyasî vaziyeti de yine bu bölümde ele alınmıştır. İkinci bölümde ise; Moskova Knezliği ve knezliğin fetih bölgeleri olan Perm, Ugra, Korela'dan bahsedilmiştir. Doğu Avrupa tarihinin önemli kaynaklarından olan bu eser 2021 yılı içerisinde kitap olarak basılacaktır.Polish historian Maciej Miechowita states in his book, called Two Sarmatias: A Study on the Asian-European Inhabitants: "The Southern lands and all coastal people up to India were discovered by the Portuguese king. The North lands hosting people who live in an area stretching from the North Sea to the east, which was discovered by the army of the Polish king, from now will be known to the whole world". As a matter of fact, the author's foresight did not come to naught and the Miechowita's corpus became one of the most discussed and exploited works in Europe for a long time. Thus, it was inevitable that this historical source would be translated into different languages. Composed of two chapters, Asia and Sarmatia, the corpus begins with a letter of the author addressing Stanislav Thurzo, bishop of Olomouc. The letter in question is intended as an introduction to the work. In the first section of the first chapter, a short description of the border region of the Asian and European continents was made, and thereafter some elements such as the emergence of the Mongols, called Tatars by the author, in these lands, their East European expeditions, Christians sending messengers to the Mongolian khans, the physical and characteristic features of the Tatars in broad strokes, traditions, settlements, lifestyle and beliefs of the people as well as the genealogy of the khans were studied. In the following sections communities such as the Goths, Alans, Vandals, Suevi and Ugors who once ruled in Sarmatia, now inhabited by the Turks were mentioned and moreover the Ottomans whose origin the author traced to Tatars as well as the Golden Horde State, Crimean and Kazan khanates and the Nogai Horde were covered. In the second chapter dedicated to European Sarmatia, the author separated Russia and Moscow in general terms as two distinct countries. Under 'Russia' heading he studied Kievan Rus' such as Kiev, Novgorod, Pskov, Smolensk, etc. and Lithuania which he incorporated in Russian lands as well as. In the first section a detailed description of the Russian geography was made and subjects such as food and beverage across the country and belief of the people were treated. This section described Lithuania and Sarmatia geography in general terms and discussed the political situation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The second section addressed Perm, Ugra/Yugria, Korelia, which were conquered by Grand Duchy of Moscow. This work, one of the important sources of Eastern European history, will be published as a book within 2021
Gendered Space in Alexander Mccall Smith’s the No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency
No full textClassic detective fiction provides an ideal space where issues of gender identities can be investigated along with the changing modes of crime fiction. Previously, in detective or crime fiction, women were displayed as victims or villains attached with social and cultural stereotypes. However, beginning in the 80s and 90s female characters started to be represented as detectives and investigators, which allowed space to the renegotiating of women’s place in social and gender norms. Against this background, Alexander McCall Smith comes to the fore as a unique author who has managed to create the Mma Ramontswe character, owner of Ladies’ No. 1 Detective Agency in an African setting, mainly Botswana, the country where he lived as a child and as a youth. Mma Ramotswe is an unconventional detective conducting her amateur profession in a space predominantly inhabited by herself and a fellow assistant lady detective. The novels evolving around No. 1 Ladies’ Detective Agency in serial form develop in two tracks. Firstly, the office of the agency is essentially a space for lady detectives which provides a metaphorical opportunity to explore gender roles in the less known country of Botswana, a former British colony, within the frame of postcolonial issues that are dealt with extreme subtlety by the author. Secondly, the outer space, which is Africa, where the stories occur is a geographical space recreated by a Scottish, white, medical law professor who never refrains from displaying his partiality towards Africa. Hence, the outer space becomes subject to a representation by the interpretation of a male author belonging to the colonial culture. Consequently, my presentation will focus on the discussion of metaphorical representation of gendered space in the detective fiction of Alexander McCall Smith and the social, cultural and postcolonial aspects of the representation of Africa being the outer space of these novels. © 2021 Ovidius University.
