An Econometric Analysis on the Relationship between Infrastructure and Economic Growth
(2024) Sen, S.; Yilmaz, T.
Many academics and policymakers accept that infrastructure investments and services impact economic growth. The point of view on infrastructure investments differs according to the development level of the countries Since the infrastructure systems of many developed countries are at the saturation level, infrastructure investments in these countries generally occur in the form of improvements in the existing infrastructure stock. In many middle-income countries within the developing country group, existing infrastructure investments are insufficient. For this reason, it is necessary to provide new infrastructure investments and services. As a result, the income level of countries emerges as an important criterion to be considered in showing the effects of infrastructure investments on economic growth. Although many studies are conducted to reveal the relationship between infrastructure and economic growth for developed and underdeveloped countries (especially in the African region), this relationship is not adequately addressed in middle-income countries. For this reason, in this study, the effect of infrastructure on economic growth was examined within the framework of an endogenous growth model based on Barro (1990), considering upper-middle-income countries for the years 2011-2020. By considering transportation, telecommunications, and energy, known as economic infrastructure types, analyses were carried out with the system GMM estimator, which is one of the dynamic panel data methods. Estimation results show that telecommunications and energy infrastructure have an effect on economic growth, but transportation does not. In addition, statistically positive and significant results have been achieved in the models in which gross fixed capital formation represents the infrastructure

Development of a standard laboratory testing method for thermal diffusivity measurements of building walls: Combined use of Infrared thermography and guarded hot box
(2025.01.01) Tugla, R.K.; Tavukçuoglu, A.; Yazicioglu, S.
The thermal diffusivity value of a building wall can be calculated theoretically by using the thermophysical properties of its materials listed in standards and literature. In these lists, building materials in the same category can be defined by different thermal properties; therefore, the theoretically-calculated thermal diffusivity values can be misleading. In this study, an experimental setup was developed that can directly measure the thermal diffusivity (alpha, m(2)/s) value of building walls by the combined use of infrared thermography and guarded hot box methods. A 19cm-thick wall sample made of lightweight concrete block with pumice aggregate and mortar was prepared; this wall is positioned between a controlled warm ambient on its one side and a cold ambient on the other side, where its surfaces were monitored by sequential IR imaging. The thermal diffusivity value of the sample wall was calculated by using the data showing temperature change versus time and the relevant theoretical equation. The reference thermal diffusivity value ( alpha REF ) of the sample wall, calculated by using thermal properties measured by standard laboratory tests, is 3.40x10(-7) m(2)/s. The thermal diffusivity ( alpha IRT ) of the same wall, measured with the proposed IRT-GHB experimental setup, is 3.38 x 10(-7) m(2)/s. The value measured with that new setup is similar to the reference thermal diffusivity value. The results show that the new experimental setup can directly measure the thermal diffusivity of a wall. Compared to the existing ones, the proposed experimental setup presents a measurement technique that saves time and sets the basis of a scientific, practical, and more economical analytical method.
Discussion on Logic and Nahw in the Modern Period -Three Views on the Relationship between Aristotelian Logic and Arabic Grammar
(2023.01.01) Aydin, B.
Discussions on the relationship between Aristotelian logic and Arabic grammar were continued by linguists of the modern period as was among the early period linguists. These discussions focused on the purpose and functions of logic and grammar, as well as whether logic was effective in the formation and development of grammar. Discussions about the mentioned effect brought up the concept of the originality of Arabic grammar. This study deals with the discussion of whether Aristotelian logic was effective in the formation of Arabic grammar; and aims to clarify matters such as the existence, if any, the mentioned effect and to what extent it occurred in terms of method and content. In the study, firstly, information will be presented in the historical context of the subject, about the works of Syriac grammar, the first Arabic translations of the logic, the works of Sibawayhi's teachers that have not survived and the grammar schools of Alexandria and Pergamum. Then, the views on the discussion in question will be discussed by taking into account the other works of the authors, by referring to the basic grammar works, Aristotle's logic books and some Aristotle translations made in both the classical and modern periods. In the discussion of whether Aristotelian logic has an effect on Arabic grammar, the expression "Arabic grammar " refers to al-Kitab of Sibawayhi and the works produced before him, but which have not survived to the present day, since the problem addressed in the study is whether logic has an effect on the formation of Arabic grammar. There is no discussion about the influence of logic in later periods. In fact, in the debates between Sirafi and Matta, the traces of the objections developed against the logic and the intellectual disputes between the grammarians and the logicians can be followed. Regarding the formation of the Arabic grammar, the works of Abu'l-Aswad Al-Du'ali and his students are pointed out in the sources. It was stated that the fact of lahn was especially influential in the beginning of these studies, and besides, an intellectual effort to reveal the features of Arabic language and to study the Qur'an in terms of language was also mentioned. After these basic studies, the prominent names in the period up to the works of Khalil and Sibawayhi were divided into groups as part of Basra and Kufa grammar schools. In this context, the debate on whether Aristotelian logic was effective in the formation of these studies has been dealt with by three views in the modern period. Ibrahim Al-Madkur clearly states that Aristotelian logic has affected Arabic grammar in terms of content and method in the formative period. In order to prove this, after emphasizing the cultural environment in which Arabic grammar birth, he compares Sibawayhi's Al-Kitab with Aristotle's studies on logic. According to him, combination of various factors, including logic, in the formative period or the fact that Aristotelian logic is effective in determining its direction does not detract from the value of Arabic grammar. `Abd Al-Rahman Al-Haj Saleh, on the other hand, after referring to the studies published in the West and the Arab world on the discussion, states that the effect of logic on Arabic grammar was seen in later periods and emphasizes that it draws a completely different direction from logic in matters that are shown as examples of the existence of the effect. According to him, the first Arabic grammarian who used Aristotle's words is Al-Rummani and the effect of philosophy and logic began at the end of the third century (ah.) intensified in the fourth century, and Arab thought lost its originality. `Abduh Al-Rajihi, on the other hand, after making remarks about the historical process related to Greek grammar schools, works and Syriac grammar and the transfer of logic to Arabic; compares Aristotle's expressions with the expressions of Sibawayhi by quoting from English and early Arabic translations. In the study, three texts in question will be listed according to their publication dates; and the main ideas, opinions and results emphasized in the articles will be discussed by giving different opinions on the same point; and in order to avoid repetitions the names Madkur, Saleh and Rajihi will be used to point to the authors.
Examining the Volunteering Perspectives of Individuals Participating in Child Welfare Volunteer Activities
(2024.01.01) Aslan, H.; Tuncay, T.
Acts of volunteerism can be observed in schools, hospitals, and religious institutions, as well as and even more so in nearby streets and apartments. Volunteering behaviors mean different things in different societies based on economic, social, and cultural reasons. While volunteering may sometimes be perceived only as a philanthropic behavior, other times it is considered as the behaviors that contribute to economic development. The opinions of volunteers and administrators working in this field play a significant role in uncovering these meanings. In this context, the study aims to investigate the perceptions that volunteers and managers who participate in T & uuml;rkiye's child welfare volunteer activities have toward volunteering based on their experiences volunteering in this field. The field of child welfare is considered a source of intense participation in terms of volunteer work in T & uuml;rkiye. Therefore, this study has conducted in-depth interviews with 60 volunteers in the field of child welfare. The research has preferred the qualitative research method and phenomenological research design within its scope. The participants' narratives have been analyzed thematically, with three themes being identified and discussed in detail regarding their perspectives: the personal level, the family and social environment level, and the societal level. These themes reveal the importance of understanding how volunteering is perceived in T & uuml;rkiye. The research has concluded that individuals' personal experiences and the perspectives of family, friends, and the society in which one lives are able to affect one's perceptions about volunteering. Conducting future research on the subject as well as studies on areas where volunteering activities are frequently involved, such as elderly welfare, violence against women and women's rights, disaster situations, and how to protect the natural environment, may enable a more holistic perspective to be formed in order to reveal how volunteering efforts are perceived in different social services fields.
Semsizade Ahmet Ziyaeddin Uluoglu's Contributions to the National Struggle
(2023.01.01) Yilmaz, M.S.
In this article, it is aimed to reveal the life of Ahmet Ziyaeddin Uluoglu, the founder and president of Kastamonu Mudafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti/Kastamonu Association for the Defence of National Rights, his place in the community life and his services in Kastamonu during the National Struggle. In the research, Devlet Arsivleri Baskanligi Osmanli Arsivi/the Presidential State Archives, the work named "Bayrami in Kastamonu and the Semsizade Family", which is about the abandoned documents of the family, the sources that shed light on the local history and the Kastamonu press were used. The fact that no independent study has been carried out about Uluoglu until today is important in terms of revealing his contributions to the National Struggle at the local level. It is understood that Uluoglu was elected and served as a member of the board of directors in the 1918 and 1921 congresses of the Kastamonu Hilal-i Ahmer Society, as the president of the Kastamonu Himaye-i Etfal Society in the 1922 congress, and as a member of the board of directors in the 1923 general assembly of the Kastamonu Farmers Union. Uluoglu is the founder of Kastamonu Association for the Defence of National Rights, and as far as we can determine, he successfully carried out the duty of president of the society until the end of the War of Independence. During the National Struggle period, the wire held against the occupation of Urfa, Antep and Maras has his signature in the rallies and protest telegrams. He was awarded the "Medal of Independence, with white ribbon" for his sacrifice and heroism in the War of Independence. He was elected as an enterprising member of the provincial administrative committee in the transformation of the Association for the Defence of National Rights into the People's Party. In the study, Ahmet Ziyaeddin Uluoglu served under the difficult conditions of the period during the National Struggle and the establishment of the Republic of Turkey, and in addition to his benevolence, religious and national identity, he also took a place in the local history of Kastamonu with his social personality, such as "Nakibulesraf", Bayrami Dervish Lodge. In addition to his duties, it was concluded that he continued to serve as an orator in Atabey Gazi Mosque after the proclamation of the Republic. His situation highlights Uluoglu's manager and intellectual personality in terms of being a part of society life, as well as his cleric identity.
The Idea of Unity or Disunity of Sciences: The Case of Fodor and Dupre
(2024.01.01) Tekin, O.F.
The debate over the unity or division of sciences is a significant topic in the history and philosophy of science. From ancient philosophers to today, scientists have attempted to unify, classify, or segment the sciences. Greek philosophers approached this issue through the concepts of " One" and "Many." For instance, Parmenides focused on static substances, whereas Heraclitus emphasized becoming and flux. Empedocles pointed to the four elements, Democritus to atoms, Pythagoras to numbers, Plato to forms, and Aristotle to categories. In the Islamic world, Ibn Khaldun expanded the unity of sciences through social sciences, while Avicenna classified sciences based on practical and universal aspects. With the return to nature in the 16th century, sciences were reshaped through natural sciences. F. Bacon emphasized the importance of experiment and observation, categorizing sciences in a pyramid. Galileo proposed that nature is structured on mathematical symbols, while Descartes and Leibniz developed their scientific views based on Newtonian physics. Kant evaluated sciences not by searching behind phenomena but as a cognitive unity based on principles. In the modern era, positivism gained prominence. Since the 19th century, thinkers of the Vienna Circle advocated for the unity of sciences, reducing all epistemic activities to positive science. These thinkers envisaged scientific philosophy grounded in physical science. Reductionism was considered the most important method for achieving the unity of sciences. This paper will critique Fodor 's physicalism based on reductionism and defend Dupre 's idea of the disunity of sciences. Dupre argues that the reductionist method cannot be applied to special sciences like biology and that, although occasionally interacting, sciences should be considered independent modes of knowledge with their specific domains and methods. The paper will begin by presenting the historical development of the unity of sciences within the context of the philosophy of science, focusing on the views of the Vienna Circle philosophers. It will examine the thoughts of neo -positivist philosophers such as Carnap (1928, 1934) and Nagel (1961) on the unity of sciences, Hempel 's nomological -deductive explanation mo del (1965), and the claims of Oppenheim/Putnam (1958) regarding the unity of sciences. Subsequently, Fodor 's views on the unity of sciences will be evaluated, and physicalism based on reductionism will be analysed. After discussing the shortcomings and errors of this view, Dupre 's argument for the disunity of sciences will be examined, particularly highlighting the inapplicability of reductionism in special sciences like biology. Ultimately, it will be argued that, rather than achieving a unified science reduced to physical laws, the contemporary understanding of science is better served by recognizing the distinct and autonomous nature of different scientific fields.
