Budgeting process for enterprises in hyperinflationary economies
No full textInflationary reporting is an important topic and it seems it remains as it is. Historical cost reporting fail to show the impact of chaining prices, and in an inflationary economy more realistic information is required to enable management to take steps to prepare future operating plans of their business entity. This thesis has two purposes: to help executives operating in high inflation environments manage their business better and to facilitate the generation of sensible budgeting system for their company. In the current global economy, if businesses are to succeed, they must do despite the demands caused by financial and currency interdependence. Hopefully this study will be useful not only for multinational investors but also by local business owners within high inflation countries. This thesis is composed of four parts and a conclusion. The first part gives general budgeting information and the basics of budget types. The second part was prepared with an emphasis on effects of high inflation in budgeting. In the third part, restatement methodology in budgeting process for enterprises that operates in hyperinflationary economies explained in detail and supported by an explanatory application to help users in understanding. The fourth part is concerned with budgeting practices used in a commercial pharmaceutical company operates in Turkey as a hyperinflationary country. I hope this thesis will be useful for people who are interested in budgeting on hyperinflationary economies.Ekonomik bir gerçek olarak ortaya çıkan enflasyon, bazı Dünya ülkelerinde olduğu gibi ülkemizde de yaşanmakta ve etkisi derinden hissedilmektedir. Hepimizin bildiği üzere enflasyonun zararına uğrayan ilk ekonomik birimler işletmelerdir. İşletmelerin teker teker zarara uğramaları ve sonuda yok olmaları, işletmelerden oluşan ekonomik yaşantının da yok olmasına sebep olacaktır. Bu nedenle, yapılacak ilk iş, enflasyonun işletmeler üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerinin neler olduğunun belirlenmesi ve bu etkilerin giderilmesini sağlayacak önlemlerin alınmasıdır. Enflasyon, işletmelerin ekonomik ve finansal yapılarını bozmakta, geçmiş ve geleceğe yönelik tüm işletme kararlarında kullanılan verileri anlamsızlaştırmaktadır. Bu tez iki ana amaç taşımaktadır ; enflasyonist ekonomilerde faaliyet gösteren firma yöneticilerinin daha etkin bütçeleme sistemleri geliştirmelerine yardımcı olmak ve işletmelerini daha efektif ve rantabl yönetebilmeleri ve daha isabetli uzun vadeli planlama yapabilmelerine ışık tutmaktır. Ümid ederim ki bu tez, sadece uluslararası yatırımcılara yol göstermekle kalmayacak, aynı zamanda yüksek enflasyon yaşanan ülkemizde faaliyet gösteren tüm yerli işletme sahiplerine de faydalı olacaktır. Tez dört ana bölümden oluşmaktadır: Birinci bölümde genel bütçeleme esasları ve temel bütçe çeşitleri anlatılmaktadır. İkinci bölüm yüksek enflasyonun bütçeleme üzerindeki etkisini açıklamak amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Üçüncü bölümde yüksek enflasyonist ekonomilerde faaliyet gösteren işletmeler için bütçeleme teknikleri, açıklamalı bir örnek yardımıyla anlatılmaktadır. Dördüncü ve son bölüm ise ülkemizde ilaç endüstrisinde faaliyet göstermekte olan bir ticari işletmenin Uluslararası Muhasebe Standardları No: 29'a göre bütçeleme uygulamaları yer almaktadır. Bu tezin yüksek enflasyonist ekonomilerde bütçeleme esasları ile ilgilenen tüm arkadaşlara yararlı olması en büyük dileğimdir
Caracterização do Espaço Livre Público do Terminal Barra Funda, Município de São Paulo, SP:: Infraestrutura, Composição Florística e Percepção Ambiental
No full textThe rapid growth of the city is the result of population growth, and this brings about the commitment of the quantity and quality of its open spaces and green areas. This study aimed to report the perception of passersby on the public space Barra Funda Terminal, as well as its plant diversity.

Diálogos intertextuais e traços memorialísticos em A solidão mais funda, de Ângela Vilma
No full textABSTRACT: This article analyzes the poetic production of the book A solidão mais funda, by the author from Bahia Ângela Vilma, from the perspective that there are two movements in the work. In the first, there are poems that try to dialogue with canonical authors, such as Fernando Pessoa, Cecília Meireles, Vinícius de Moraes, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, among others. In the second, there is a memorialistic trace, heir above all from Herberto Sales, an author whose work the poet had read since her adolescence. For this, we use the concepts of remembrance and reminiscence of Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), according to which the writer's act of remembering comes not only from his recollection, but also articulates memory and creative imagination, which is also treated by Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962). Thus, the poet starts from recollections, consciously or unconsciously: sometimes reconfiguring them according to the imagination of the lyrical self, sometimes fictionalizing them, making the reader live again their subjectivities.RESUMO: O presente artigo analisa a produção poética do livro A solidão mais funda, da autora baiana Ângela Vilma, sob a perspectiva de que existem, na obra, dois movimentos. No primeiro, poemas que ensaiam dialogar com autores canônicos, como Fernando Pessoa, Cecília Meireles, Vinícius de Moraes, Carlos Drummond de Andrade, Manuel Bandeira, entre outros. No segundo, está presente o traço memorialístico, herdeiro sobretudo de Herberto Sales, autor cuja obra a poeta lia desde a adolescência. Para isso, valemo-nos dos conceitos de recordação e reminiscência de Walter Benjamim (1892-1940), segundo o qual, o ato de lembrar do escritor provém não só de sua rememoração, como também articula memória e imaginação criativa, que também é tratado Gaston Bachelard (1884-1962). Assim, a poeta parte de rememorações, consciente ou inconscientemente: ora reconfigurando-as segundo a imaginação do eu-lírico, ora ficcionalizando-as, fazendo o leitor reviver suas subjetividades.
 
Água Funda by Ruth Guimarães: Mário, Valdomiro, the fear and “that philosophy one finds only in the common people’s language”
No full textO artigo pretende destacar a contribuição que Ruth Guimarães (1920-2014) trouxe à comunidade literária com seu romance Água Funda, de 1946. A carreira da autora deu-se a partir do encontro com Mário de Andrade, aqui analisado, que inseriu sua escrita dentro de anseios significativos da estética modernista. O texto demonstra também como o romance banhou-se no pioneirismo que seu conterrâneo, Valdomiro Silveira, teria feito a partir do material folclórico e linguístico da região do Vale do Paraíba, conseguindo Ruth, por sua vez, superar problemas que o escritor pré-modernista teria enfrentado ao tentar dar vitalidade e naturalidade àquele dialeto caipira. Água Funda recria de modo ímpar o que a autora chamou de “aquela filosofia que só se encontra na linguagem do povo”, agregando contribuições da cultura oral ameríndia, nagô e europeia, também retratadas no seu estudo folclórico sobre o medo, de 1950. Dessa forma, traz a perspectiva feminina de quem cresceu dentro daquele sistema simbólico, invocando assim o conceito de ‘escrevivência’, de Conceição Evaristo, e o chamado ‘lugar de fala’, formado a partir da contribuição de Gayatri Spivak e Linda Alcoff, nos anos 1980, e, hoje, uma das maiores bandeiras da crítica cultural feminista.The article gives light to Água Funda (1946), Ruth Guimarães\u27s first novel. The author’s career had a starting point in an encounter with Mário de Andrade, developed here, which puts her writing into significative approaches of the modernist aesthetics. The text also shows how it was influenced by the pioneerism of her townsman Valdomiro Silveira, when dealing with the folk culture and linguistics from Vale do Paraíba area. Ruth, however, could overcome some of the difficulties he had faced when shaping this ‘caipira’ dialect into something vivid and natural. Água Funda recreates uniquely what her author called “that philosophy one finds only in the common people’s language”, bringing together contributions from oral cultures, such as the Brazilian native American, the Nagô and the European ones, which are also part of her folk study about the fear, from 1950. This way she brings the perspective of a woman who was brought up into that symbolic system, related to the concept of ‘escrevivência’ by Conceição Evaristo and to the ‘place of speech’ one, formed in the 1980’s with the Gayatri Spivak and Linda Alcoff’s contribution to one of the major issues of the cultural feminist criticism today. 
The Author in Conflict in the 20th Century Explicit Poetics
No full textA partir del cambio en la noción de autor que tiene lugar en la década de los sesenta del pasado siglo, este trabajo aborda el conflicto que surge al tratar de comprender desde esta perspectiva la idea de autor en las poéticas explícitas, un género que tradicionalmente se funda en la estrecha identificación entre autor textual y autor biográfico. Se cuestiona la idea de un autor previo al texto y se explora la construcción de la figura de autor, mostrando todas sus complejidades.Beginning with the new approaches to understanding author in the decade of the 60’s, this work aims to present the conflict which this notion set out when it is confronted with explicit poetics, a genre with an apparently unbreakable link between textual author and biographical author. It is questioned the idea of a previous author in explicit poetics and it is analysed the construction of an image of the author in these texts, showing the complexity of the concept.Depto. de Lengua Española y Teoría de la LiteraturaFac. de FilologíaTRUEpu
Fabrication and characterization of Ga-doped ZnO / Si heterojunction nanodiodes
No full text32nd International Physics Congress of Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-09, 2016 -- Bodrum, TURKEYIn this study, temperature-dependent electrical properties of n-type Ga-doped ZnO thin film / p-type Si nanowire heterojunction diodes were reported. Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) process was performed to fabricate Si nanowires. Ga-doped ZnO films were then deposited onto nanowires through chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique to build three-dimensional nanowire-based heterojunction diodes. Fabricated devices revealed significant diode characteristics in the temperature range of 220 - 360 K. Electrical measurements shown that diodes had a well-defined rectifying behavior with a good rectification ratio of 10(3) +/- 3 V at room temperature. Ideality factor (n) were changed from 2.2 to 1.2 with increasing temperature.Turkish Phys SocResearch Projects Unit of Omer Halisdemir University [FEB 2014/25-BAGEP, FEB 2014/26-BAGEP]G.A. and F.A.A. would like to give thanks to Research Projects Unit of Omer Halisdemir University (The Project Code: FEB 2014/25-BAGEP and The Project Code: FEB 2014/26-BAGEP) for the financial support
Fabrication of p-type CuO thin films using chemical bath deposition technique and their solar cell applications with Si nanowires
No full text32nd International Physics Congress of Turkish-Physical-Society (TPS) -- SEP 06-09, 2016 -- Bodrum, TURKEYRecently, CuO has attracted much interest owing to its suitable material properties, inexpensive fabrication cost and potential applications for optoelectronic devices. In this study, CuO thin films were deposited on glass substrates using chemical bath deposition technique and post-deposition annealing effect on the properties of the prepared samples were investigated. p-n heterojunction solar cells were then constructed by coating of p-type CuO films onto the vertically well aligned n-type Si nanowires synthesized through MACE method. Photovoltaic performance of the fabricated devices were determined with current voltage (I-V) measurements under AM 1.5 G illumination. The optimal short-circuit current density, open-circuit voltage, fill factor and power conversion efficiency were found to be 3.2 mA/cm(-2), 337 mV, 37.9 and 0.45%, respectively. The observed performance clearly indicates that the investigated device structure could be a promising candidate for high-performance low-cost new-generation photovoltaic diodes.Turkish Phys SocOmer Halisdemir University [FEB 2014/25-BAGEP, FEB 2014/26-BAGEP]F.A.A. and G.A. would like to give thanks to Research Projects Unit of Omer Halisdemir University (The Project Code: FEB 2014/25-BAGEP and The Project Code: FEB 2014/26-BAGEP) for the financial support
The ancient DNA and archaeobotanical analysis suggest cultivation of Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta at Yumuktepe and Yenikapı Pottery Neolithic sites in Turkey
No full textArchaeobotanical materials subject to aDNA analysis were recovered from Yumuktepe and Yenikapı, two important archaeological sites in Anatolia and date back to the Pottery Neolithic Period i.e., 7th millennium BC. Many charred ancient seeds representing various cereal species including a great number of wheat grains were documented in mentioned sites. Among the cereal seeds, charred wheat samples were tentatively identified as Triticum aestivum subsp. spelta L. or Triticum new glume wheat (NGW) or atypical emmer or naked wheat in Yumuktepe and Yenikapı showed similarities with the morphological characteristics of T. aestivum subsp. spelta wheat, but it was difficult to reach a firm conclusion. This study aimed to provide genetic data to enable more precise identification of charred wheat seeds using an ancient DNA (aDNA) approach. aDNAs were successfully extracted from the representative charred seeds of T. aestivum subsp. spelta or NGW or atypical emmer or naked wheat. The PCR amplification of 26SrDNA and IGS gene regions with aDNA was carried out and sequenced. The expected product sizes of IGS 158 bp for the D genome and 87 bp for the A or B genomes and DNA sequence comparisons with other wheat species revealed that T. aestivum subsp. spelta or NGW or atypical emmer or naked wheat samples included the D genome from Aegilops tauschii and is more likely to be T. aestivum subsp. spelta. The discovery of T. aestivum subsp. spelta grains in the Yenikapı and Yumuktepe suggest that the cultivation of hexaploid wheat was widespread. Further, spelta hulled wheat, which is the progenitor of the hexaploid wheat, might have been cultivated in these settlements. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V
Exploring the Interaction of L2 Reading Comprehension with Text- and Learner-related Factors
No full textAbstractAs a complex cognitive skill involving a variety of processes working in concert, the ability to read along with the reading comprehension process and the factors affecting the nature of this process are continually drawing the attention of L2 researchers. The intricate nature of reading comprehension emerges evidently especially in foreign language settings, in which the readers endeavor to extract meaning from texts laden with textual and syntactic structures somewhat foreign to them. Reading comprehension in an L2 is characterized by its dynamic nature since it is affected by a combination of text-related and reader oriented variables. The present study aimed to examine L2 reading comprehension in relation to vocabulary knowledge, topic familiarity, perceived situational interest, sources of interest and strategic reading behaviors. The study was carried out at a major state university in Turkey in the fall term of 2015-2016 academic year. A total of 83 freshman students enrolled in the department of English Language Teaching participated in the research. Data were collected by means of a reading comprehension test, a vocabulary test, a topic familiarity scale, a perceived interest questionnaire, a sources of interest questionnaire, and a reading strategies inventory. The data gathered through these instruments were subjected to statistical analyses. Contrary to expectations, the study did not reveal any significant correlations between L2 reading comprehension and any of the aforementioned text- and learner-related factors. The study concluded that participants⿿ limited lexical coverage might have built on the linguistic difficulty of the text and overridden the influence of other text- and learner-based determiners of reading comprehension. Reading comprehension especially in a foreign language is undoubtedly under the impact of different textual and learner oriented factors. However, the findings attained through this study could not provide any evidence for such an interaction and added on the inconclusive results of several previous studies
