A Semıologıcal Analysıs Of Story “Bacayı İndir Bacayı Kaldır” By SadrI Ertem / Sadri Ertem’in “Bacayı İndir Bacayı Kaldır” Adlı Hikâyesine Göstergesel Bir Çözümle
No full textSome propositions of social realism require authors to handle their relationship with the
society in a realist approach. The point emphasized by the realist authors is the necessity of
correcting wrong conscious. These authors believe that social formation has a purpose which
will appear in the last instance. For that reason it is first necessary to give information of
the reality. This information keeps individuals away from the wrong conscious and enables
them to perceive class interests and thus the individual can start struggling for changing the
world. The author needs to show the individual all the deformities in the society explicitly
so that a better world could be established. For this purpose social realist authors present the
apparatuses in the text which the system use while trying to change the individual as tools
that serve for preserving the order, on the other hand they oppose to the fact that principles
such as injustice and inequality, which they use for transforming the conditions in order to
continue the presence of the purpose of the order, are presented as a data originating from
the natural structure of the society. Preserving something which exists in a place where the
change of human being and the order is considered equivalent brings along that realities are
not accepted as they are but as they are shown. Sadri Ertem’s story which is analysed in this
study is a good example for that
Railway track degradation: The contribution of a spatially variant support stiffness - Local variation
No full textThis study addresses the contribution of spatial variance in the railway track support stiffness to the expected long-term track degradation. Hereto, a novel frequency-domain model is developed with a double periodicity ‘layer’, capable of dealing with both sleeper periodicity and arbitrary non-uniformity in track properties. The model application focuses on a locally reduced support stiffness (hanging sleeper) along the track. The resulting susceptibility to degradation is assessed by quantifying the mechanical energy dissipated over the influence length under a moving train axle. Different descriptions of this energy amount are benchmarked with respect to their predictive value. In the presence of a degraded sleeper support, hanging sleepers are found to develop faster with increasing train speed; the speed effect may be estimated as roughly linear. Moreover, degradation increases progressively with an increasing local relative stiffness reduction. Coincidence of the train speed corresponding to the sleeper passing frequency with the first resonance peak of the system leads to severely increased degradation; increased damping however attenuates dissipation peaks at resonant speeds and shifts their position upwards. The effect of a degraded support is most significant on soft subgrades. The effect of multiple degraded sleeper supports increases up to three sleepers, for any train speed. With respect to the system parameters, particularly the railpad stiffness has significant effect; especially for high-speed tracks a high pad stiffness is very unfavorable. Other effective control parameters in the case of degraded sleeper supports are the sleeper spacing and the rail cross-sectional properties; for example replacing a 54E1 with a 60E1 rail profile may reduce energy dissipation with roughly 30% on high-speed track. An increasing unsprung vehicle mass is unfavorable for track degradation, again with the effect increasing with the train speed. The developed methodology is shown to have significant potential with respect to railway track design in terms of multi-parametric optimization for concrete cases with a given input in terms of soil properties and operational regime.Accepted Author ManuscriptRailway Engineerin

Participation caught in-between projects and policies?
No full textOver the recent decades, we have experienced a shift away from technocratic planning towards the idea of place-based mediation, and the role of society in making the city. Initiating new readings the role participation and collaboration has on: (a) consensus building between capacity of participants, (b) the encouraging of broad range of contexts to shape evidence-based decision-making, including sociocultural, economic, and technological contexts, and (c) new forms of partnerships and funding between academic, municipalities, and companies. This has lead to contemporary planning practice and theory embracing the idea of reimagining and redefining, complexities and contexts that shape the city. By carrying out a literature review, the discussion of new instruments, strategies and formats, and theories that are currently being employed is expanded on. The author questions if this has lead to an urbanism approach where the strategic and spatial, formal, and informal frameworks of participatory practices appear to coexist
Effects of railway track design on the expected degradation: Parametric study on energy dissipation
No full textThis paper studies the effect of railway track design parameters on the expected long-term degradation of track geometry. The study assumes a geometrically perfect and straight track along with spatial invariability, except for the presence of discrete sleepers. A frequency-domain two-layer model is used of a discretely supported rail coupled with a moving unsprung mass. The susceptibility of the track to degradation is objectively quantified by calculating the mechanical energy dissipated in the substructure under a moving train axle for variations of different track parameters. Results show that, apart from the operational train speed, the ballast/substructure stiffness is the most significant parameter influencing energy dissipation. Generally, the degradation increases with the train speed and with softer substructures. However, stiff subgrades appear more sensitive to particular train velocities, in a regime which is mostly relevant for conventional trains (100–200 km/h) and less for high-speed operation, where a stiff subgrade is always favorable and can reduce the sensitivity to degradation substantially, with roughly a factor up to 7. Also railpad stiffness, sleeper distance and rail cross-sectional properties are found to have considerable effect, with higher expected degradation rates for increasing railpad stiffness, increasing sleeper distance and decreasing rail profile bending stiffness. Unsprung vehicle mass and sleeper mass have no significant influence, however, only against the background of the assumption of an idealized (invariant and straight) track. Apart from dissipated mechanical energy, the suitability of the dynamic track stiffness is explored as an engineering parameter to assess the sensitivity to degradation. It is found that this quantity is inappropriate to assess the design of an idealized track.Railway Engineerin
An Exposition of Research Methodology in Management and Social Sciences
No full textIn writing this paper the author has consciously stood apart from his earlier works and attempted to dispassionately review his own position so that some degree of clarity of thought might emerge in the process. The paper is based on the author’s contribution between 1992 and 2012 to this subject and which has been used as the basis for several doctoral level investigations under the author’s guidance. They had played a major role in helping the author to crystallize his views. To these scholars, therefore, the author’s gratitude is unflinchingly extended. Management has been described as being concerned with and based on the science of decision making and operating from the foundations of the art of decision executing. Hence, research in the area of modern Human Resources Management, especially, is both interesting and challenging having its one foot planted in industrial sociology and industrial psychology while the other placed in supply chain management and organisational restructuring. Hence, the argument of this paper is more relevant to serious research scholars and to those management teachers who wish to pursue rigorous academic research. This is not meant for those in the cut-copy-paste league, which unfortunately is, of late, becoming quite prevalent within the Indian academia

Hopeful Hybridities:Transformative Interspecies Relationships in Dystopian and Post-Apocalyptic Visual Narratives
No full textThis chapter asks how the visual grammar of comics might subvert the established tropes of dystopian fiction. Is it possible to suggest new ways of being and seeing from within? In addressing these questions, Kahn uses three epic graphic narratives that engage with this question through exploring alternative communities, especially human/animal collaboration or species hybridity. All three texts utilise postmodern narrative strategies to explore dystopias as products of late modernity, attempts to close down critical thinking rather than question established ideologies. Via polyphonic perspectives and competing verbal and visual strategies, the examined narratives empower the reader to reconsider norms of power, identity, and the binaries of conventional dystopian narrative closure.© 2019, The Author(s).
