    Bayraktar, Hanefi; Türkkan, Gokçen Eryılmaz; Hırca, Tuğçe

    Bu çalışmada Bayburt şehir merkezine ait hava kirleticilerinin zamansal değişimleri, yerel meteorolojik parametreler ile olan etkileşimleri ve trendleri istatistiki yöntemlerle analiz edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda, 2017-2019 dönemi saatlik ölçülen PM10, SO2, NO, NO2, NOX ve O3 ile saatlik sıcaklık (t), rüzgâr hızı (ws), nem (rh) ve basınç (p) verileri analiz edilmiştir. Birincil kirleticilerden PM10 konsantrasyonlarının ortalama değeri 40.5 μg/m3 ve SO2 konsantrasyonlarının ortalama değeri ise 6.85 μg/m3 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Mann-Whitney U testi sonuçlarına göre, kirletici konsantrasyonlarının soğuk mevsim ortalamaları sıcak mevsim ortalamalarından istatistiki manada anlamlı şekilde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir (p=0.000<0.05). Kruskal Wallis testine göre kirletici konsantrasyonlarının yıllara göre ortalamaları arasında da istatistiksel açıdan anlamlı bir farklılaşma olduğu saptanmıştır (p=0.000<0.05). Hangi yıllar arasında farklılaşmanın olduğu Post-Hoc/Tamhane’s T2 analizi ile belirlenmiştir. Spearman’s rho korelasyon analizi sonuçları hava kirleticiler ile meteorolojik parametreler arasında istatistiki manada anlamlı bir ilişki ortaya koymaktadır (p=0.000<0.05). Buna göre, PM10 ile bağıl nem arasındaki ilişkinin negatif yönlü, SO2 ile hava basıncı arasındaki ilişkinin pozitif yönlü, NO, NO2 ve NOX ile rüzgâr hızı ve sıcaklık arasındaki ilişkinin negatif yönlü, O3 ile sıcaklık ve rüzgâr hızı arasındaki ilişkinin pozitif yönlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yenilikçi trend analiz yöntemi (ITA) sonuçlarına göre, PM10 seviyeleri azalış, diğer kirleticiler ise artış eğilimi göstermektedir. Kullanılan verilerin zaman aralığı göz önüne alındığında kirletici ortalamalarının her ne kadar sınır değerleri aştığı gözlenmese de kirleticilerin artış eğiliminde olması, pozitif hava kalitesinin korunması için daha fazla çaba gösterilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmadaki istatistiksel veri analizleri SPSS 22 programı ile gerçekleştirilmiştir.

    Emec, Seyma; Tekin, Duygu

    Housing is a place where sustainable urban spaces are produced and where people's physical, cultural, environmental, economic, social and psychological needs are evaluated together with their surroundings, rather than just a building where the need for shelter is met. With the acceleration of urbanization, new needs arise, and the first of these is the need for housing. The housing sector has become one of the most dynamic and continuous sectors associated with the increase in the need for housing. The need for adequate and accessible housing comes to the forefront in our country as well as in the world. Understanding and predicting the key features determining housing prices and value is an important consideration for urban planners and housing policymakers. In this study, machine learning and artificial neural network models were used to predict the housing demand of Konya, and their forecasting performances were compared. As a result, it was concluded that ANN is a better alternative for housing demand forecasting in Konya.

    Health-Seeking Consumer: Cognitive Dissonance Encountered After Panic Buying

    Yildiz, Tugba; Devecı, Fatma Gorgün

    This study aims to specify whether the “health-seeking” consumers’ information overload and cyberchondria that arise as a result of the information they acquire, cause panic buying and whether these purchases can later cause cognitive dissonance. The study sample, for which an online survey method was preferred, consisted of consumers aged 18 years and older who stated that they made panic purchases due to health concerns. Structural equation modeling and mediation analyses were applied to analyze the data in the study, which included 400 participants. The findings showed that health information seeking has an effective on information overload; both information and communication overload have an effective on cyberchondria; cyberchondria has an effective on panic buying and cognitive dissonance dimensions. Panic buying has an effective on cognitive dissonance dimensions and has a mediating effect between cyberchondria and cognitive dissonance dimensions. People's health concerns are a constant, which will in turn lead to a cycle of seeking information. With this foresight, the research investigates the consumers’ panic buying. However, proposed research model does not end with panic buying. The focus is on the response of the consumer after these purchases, and this is thought to be a contribution to the literature.

    Forecasting of Export Volume Using Artificial Intelligence Based Algorithms

    Ozden, Erdemalp

    Technological breakthroughs have transformed communication and taken transportation, health, and commerce to an unprecedented level. In this way, sudden developments have rapidly affected all countries. In this context, analysis methods are changing compared to the past, and annual analyses fail to catch the trend even for macroeconomic indicators. In this paper, new artificial intelligence-based estimation methods were used to see the future trend of export volume, and their estimation performances were compared by adding them to the classical econometric method. Historical quarterly data from 2013 to 2021 were used in the training and testing phases of the models. For this purpose, the variables of gross domestic product, foreign direct investment, and dollar exchange rate, which affect the export volume, were determined as inputs in estimating the export volume. According to the analysis results, support vector machine model was determined as the best method for predicting export volume in Turkey. This study can provide an essential basis for policymakers to export estimation and formulate their export-enhancing policies effectively.

    Investigation of green consumers 'subjective well being within the scope of purchase behavior, attitudes and personality traits

    Erciş, Aysel; Yildiz, Tugba

    Environmental problems that increase with global developments require individuals to behave more envi- ronmentally. The determination of this requirement depends on increasing the awareness of individuals and motivating green consumer behaviors. At this point, one of the most important factors is the happiness and satisfaction levels of people's lives, known as subjective well-being. The increase in the subjective well-being of individuals creates a win-win relationship between the environment and the consumer, and presents the gains of being a green consumer back to the consumer as life satisfaction. In this study, personality traits were first examined in order to define green consumers correctly. Later, the effect of personality traits on the environment and helping attitudes was revealed, and finally, the effect of green purchasing behavior on sub- jective well-being, which is an important indicator of social welfare, was investigated. The results revealed that personality traits affect green consumers' attitudes towards both the environment and helping, and these attitudes have an effect on green purchasing behavior. In addition, it was determined that green purchasing behavior was effective on the output variable of the model, subjective well-being.

    Analysis of the Validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve Hypothesis for Turkey

    Yıldız, Şaduman

    Environmental wastes increasing with the industrialization process have caused environmental problems to come into prominence worldwide. Therefore, the relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution has become the center of attention for many researchers, and many studies have been conducted. One of the most important hypotheses that reveal the relationship between these variables is the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). In this context, the study aimed to examine the validity of the EKC, which revealed an inverse-U-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental pollution, for Turkey in the period between 1990 and 2015. The relationship between environmental pollution and economic growth in the study was analyzed through the ARDL limit test. According to the analysis results, it was concluded that the EKC hypothesis was valid for Turkey in the period mentioned. In this respect, environmental degradation initially rises as economic growth increases, but environmental pollution decreases with the increase in environmental consciousness after a certain threshold growth level. Moreover, the study elucidated that the increase in the amount of renewable energy consumption reduced environmental pollution. Accordingly, it is recommended to produce with clean technology that will enhance the environmental quality in the production process and implement a stable growth policy that will increase the amount of renewable energy consumption within the total energy consumption. Furthermore, legal regulations can be made to promote the use of environmentally friendly technologies in production, and tax reductions or various investment supports can be provided within this framework.

    Impact of gossypin on gene expression of HSP60 and HSP70 in different cancer cell lines

    Dirican, Ebubekir; Çinar, Trfan

    Purpose: The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of gossypin on the expression level of heat shock proteins (HSPs) genes in different cancer cells. Materials and Methods: Cells were grown under standard culture conditions. Cancer cells were treated with different concentrations (5-100 mu g/ml) of gossypin and cisplatin (50 mu M) as positive control. Cell viability and effective dose range (5-100 mu g/ml) of gossypin were determined by MTT at 24, 48 and 72 hours. After RNA isolation and cDNA synthesis, HSP60 and HSP70 gene expression levels were analyzed using RT-PCR. For gene expression analysis, the 2-(Delta Delta ct) method was used. Results: According to the Mil results, 25-50-100 mu g/ml of gossypin doses were found effective on HSP60 and HSP70 gene expression levels in the cancer cell lines. Gossypin affected with dose-dependently the expression of HSP60 and HSP70 in the three cell lines. In the three cell lines, 50 mu g/ml and 100 mu g/ml of gossypin doses significantly reduced the expression of HSP60 and HSP70 compared to control group. Conclusion: Our results strongly supported the anticarcinogenic effect of gossypin at various doses in different cell lines. However, we believe that further in vivo research and human studies are needed. Our findings suggest that gossypin could be suitable candidate agent for further investigation to develop new strategies for the prevention and/or treatment of different cancer types.

    Investigation of the effect of gossypin on MMP-2 and MMP- 9 genes in prostate cancer cells

    Dirican, Ebubekir; Çinar, Irfan

    Purpose: The aim of this study is to explore the effects of gossypin on matrix metalloproteinases -2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 genes in prostate cancer cells. Materials and Methods: PC3 cells were grown in culture and treated with three different concentrations of gossypin (25-50-100 mu g/ml) and cisplatin (50 mu M) as a positive control. First, RNA isolation was performed. Then, cDNA synthesis was performed and RT-PCR was used to evaluate mRNA expression levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes. Results: Gossypin decreased MMP-2 and MMP-9 mRNA expression in prostate cancer cells in a concentrationdependent manner. Three concentrations (25-50-100 mu g/ml) of gossypin in PC3 cells reduced the mRNA expression of the MMP-2 gene. While the fold change value of MMP-2 gene expression was 0.3482 +/- 0.040 in the 100 mu g/ml gossypin group, it was 1.007 +/- 0.1425 in the control group. In addition, 50 mu g/ml and 100 mu g/ml concentrations of gossypin decreased the mRNA expression of the MMP-9 gene. The expression level of the MMP-9 gene in prostate cancer cells was 0.4740 +/- 0.038 in the 100 mu g/ml gossypin administered group, while it was 1.009 +/- 0.1687 in the control group. There was a positive correlation between the expressions of the MMP-2 and MMP-9 genes. Conclusion: According to the results obtained, it is seen that gossypin reduces the expression of MMP-2 and MMP9 genes in prostate cancer cells and the effects of gossypin on other genetic and epigenetic mechanisms in cancer need to be investigated to reveal the anti-cancer.
