    Control charts are used to control the process in order to supply products with requested properties. Classical control charts are inadequate to control the process that contain vagueness and hesitancy. In this case, extensions of fuzzy set theory could be applied to the control charts. In this study, a novel intuitionistic fuzzy c control chart based on a ranking method for triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers is proposed for the first time in the literature. The novelty of the study is to use a novel ranking method to give all decisions about the process in a fuzzy environment for triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. An application is implemented on a data set, and results are interpreted

    Narrative social structure : anatomy of the Hadith transmission network, 610-1505

    In both the social sciences and the humanities, current scholarship typically examines speech and social action as separate entities. But do they truly act in isolation? In Narrative Social Structure, Recep Senturk challenges the prevailing understandings of speech and social action, of actor and organization. Using the example of the hadith transmission network, Senturk demonstrates the synergy between speech and action in producing social reality. Hadith, a brief narrative about the Prophet Muhammad transmitted across generations by a chain of narrators, represents the longest recorded social network presently known to sociologists and historians. This book presents the first attempt by a sociologist to unearth the long hadith transmission network from ancient historical sources and analyze it using the most recent qualitative and quantitative analytical tools. It demonstrates how both synchronic and diachronic analyses uncover the structure of generational and inter-generational discourse networks used in the process of identity and authority formation. The author concludes that these networks of narrative are constantly at work in the world. Even if we are not aware of it, we are always part of them

    Local Government Budgeting for Gender Equality

    AbstractToday, gender responsive budgeting approach is adopted to participate in women's social, cultural and gender life more effectively in the economic sphere by local government. Gender responsive budgeting is to strengthen the equality perspective at all stages of the budget process to approaching gender equality in public institutions and organizations, or to reduce inequalities. Gender responsive budgeting, is reflected in the male-female equality instead of a separate budget for women. As stated in the 5018 Public Financial Management and Control Law, public institutions and organizations made strategic plans and the budget of institutions must be prepared depending on strategic plans. If expenditure is not in the strategic plan, an allocation in the budget is impossible. It is important that the preparation of the strategic plan is the basis for gender responsive budgeting. Allocations have been increasing day by day at modern societies that value to positive discrimination. This study has been investigated the gender equality approach in 39 districts in Istanbul. Data were obtained from TUIK's data population of 2014. To clarify the distinction created by the gender equality approach has benefited from the cluster analysis. Thus, the district has been determined whether the rates are close together in the same group. The hierarchical method was used in 39 districts because clustering number of sets wanted to predetermine. Ward's (variance) method depending on hierarchical clustering method is adopted. The results were visualized by Dendrogram. The Euclidean distance measure has been applied for determining the distance between criteria. Consequently, it is analysed in detail how the budgets of districts in Istanbul organized by gender equality approach

    Studies about Web surveys are carried on computers by visitors surfing web page and e-mail addresses. In this study, a web site with a membership service is determined and a survey form with two different designs is planned to carry, as a pilot survey, on anonymous visitors and members using their e-mail addresses of this web site. Responses of two different respondent groups for the same topic in same survey form are statistically compared. The survey is carried on each one of anonymous visitors and members of this web site by their e-mail addresses for one month. 102 anonymous visitors and 100 members by e-mail participated in the survey. In the survey, altitude questions about update level of the web site and personal questions are asked to respondents. In the conducted survey, it is seen that generally responds of the each of the respondent groups to altitude questions are determined as statistically different, but both of the respondent groups are pleased with usage of relevant web site and design of the survey form. According to the result of conducting the same survey study on the same web site, it can be said that visitors of the relevant web site and with known e-mails group determined by using probability sampling are really different. However, repetition of this study according to time which may increase the sample sizes, affect on the results.Web Questionnaire, e-mail Questionnaire

    Effects of different recruitment maneuvers on bacterial translocation and ventilator-induced lung injury

    BACKGROUND: Investigated in the present study were the effects of various recruitment maneuvers (RMs) using the same inflation pressure-time product on bacterial translocation from lung to blood, and ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). METHODS: Tracheotomy was performed on anesthetized rats, and ventilation was initiated using pressure-controlled mode. Subsequently, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was inoculated through the tracheotomy tube and ventilated for 30 minutes before rats were randomly separated into 4 groups. Group 1 underwent sustained inflation (SI), Group 2 underwent low-pressure SI, Group 3 underwent modified sigh, and Group 4 was a control group. Blood cultures were taken at baseline, 15 minutes after randomization (after each RM for the first hour), and finally at 75 minutes after the last RM. The rats were euthanized and the lungs were extirpated. The left lung was taken for measurement of wet: dry weight ratio, and the right lung was used for pathologic evaluation. RESULTS: Positive blood cultures were found to be higher in Group 3 at early study periods. Total pathological scores were also higher in Group 3. CONCLUSION: Higher severity of ventilator-induced lung injury occurred in the modified sigh group, evidenced by bacterial translocation and results of histopathological evaluation
