Review Citation - WoS: 156Citation - Scopus: 198Challenges and Best Practices in Industry-Academia Collaborations in Software Engineering: a Systematic Literature Review(Elsevier, 2016) Garousi, Vahid; Petersen, Kai; Ozkan, BarisContext: The global software industry and the software engineering (SE) academia are two large communities. However, unfortunately, the level of joint industry-academia collaborations in SE is still relatively very low, compared to the amount of activity in each of the two communities. It seems that the two 'camps' show only limited interest/motivation to collaborate with one other. Many researchers and practitioners have written about the challenges, success patterns (what to do, i.e., how to collaborate) and anti-patterns (what not do do) for industry-academia collaborations. Objective: To identify (a) the challenges to avoid risks to the collaboration by being aware of the challenges, (b) the best practices to provide an inventory of practices (patterns) allowing for an informed choice of practices to use when planning and conducting collaborative projects. Method: A systematic review has been conducted. Synthesis has been done using grounded-theory based coding procedures. Results: Through thematic analysis we identified 10 challenge themes and 17 best practice themes. A key outcome was the inventory of best practices, the most common ones recommended in different contexts were to hold regular workshops and seminars with industry, assure continuous learning from industry and academic sides, ensure management engagement, the need for a champion, basing research on real world problems, showing explicit benefits to the industry partner, be agile during the collaboration, and the co-location of the researcher on the industry side. Conclusion: Given the importance of industry-academia collaboration to conduct research of high practical relevance we provide a synthesis of challenges and best practices, which can be used by researchers and practitioners to make informed decisions on how to structure their collaborations.

Bununla birlikte çağdaş edebiyatta hileci arketipi; kurnaz, doğruyu söyleyen, hikâye anlatıcısı ve evrenin yasalarıyla oynayan bir dönüştürücü olarak tanımlanmaktadır. Hileci figür, gerçeği körü körüne kabul etmeyi reddeder; modası geçmiş zihniyetin yeri geldiğinde yıkılması gerektiği görüşünü savunur. Yıkıcı tutumuna rağmen kültürlerin tasarımına katkısından dolayı saygı duyulur. Jeanette Winterson’ın Atlas ve Herakles mitini tekrar kaleme aldığı Weight (Atlas’ın Yükü) adlı eseri, 2005 yılında farklı kültürlere ait mitleri tanınmış yazarlara yeniden yazdıran Canongate Myth Series projesi kapsamında yayınlandı. İngiliz edebiyatının önde gelen yazarlarından biri olan Winterson; titizlikle yazdığı hibrit kurgusunda, epik gelenekleri çeşitli edebi araçlar ve farklı türlerin karışımı ile yapı bozuma uğratır. Yazar, çok katmanlı eserinde gerçekte kendisini özdeşleştirdiği mitolojik kahraman Atlas üzerinden hikâyesini anlatır. Bu çalışma, eski miti yeniden kaleme alma sürecinde, kurnaz ve bilge bir dönüştürücü ve öykü anlatıcısı olarak Jeanette Winterson'ın hileci-sanatçı yönüne dikkat çekmeyi amaçlamaktadır.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 10Ann-Assisted Forecasting of Adsorption Efficiency To Remove Heavy Metals(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Buaısha, Magdi; Balku, Şaziye; Yaman, Şeniz Özalp; Özalp Yaman, ŞenizIn wastewater treatment, scientific and practical models utilizing numerical computational techniques suchas artificial neural networks (ANNs) can significantly help to improve the process as a whole through adsorption systems.In the modeling of the adsorption efficiency for heavy metals from wastewater, some kinetic models have been used such as pseudo first-order and second-order. The present work develops an ANN model to forecast the adsorption efficiency of heavy metals such as zinc, nickel, and copper by extracting experimental data from three case studies. To do this, we apply trial-and-error to find the most ideal ANN settings, the efficiency of which is determined by mean square error (MSE) and coefficient of determination (R2). According to the results, the model can forecast adsorption efficiency percent (AE%) with a tangent sigmoid transfer function (tansig) in the hidden layer with 10 neurons and a linear transferfunction (purelin) in the output layer. Furthermore, the Levenberg–Marquardt algorithm is seen to be most ideal for training the algorithm for the case studies, with the lowest MSE and high R2 . In addition, the experimental results and the results predicted by the model with the ANN were found to be highly compatible with each other.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 2The Detailed Transseptal Puncture Technique for Optimal Closure in Patients With a Patent Foramen Ovale(Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Ilkay, Erdogan; Saricam, Ersin; Kacmaz, Fehmi; Yakici, Aysel; Koca, Cigdem; Ozeke, Ozcan; Onal, Mehmet ZulkufBackground The closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) using transseptal puncture has particular advantages and disadvantages. Thus, transseptal puncture should be re-evaluated in detail. Aims We aimed to assess the effectiveness of the detailed transseptal puncture technique in patients who underwent PFO closure due to cryptogenic stroke or transient ischemic attack in terms of residual shunts and atrial fibrillation. Methods We prospectively analyzed 144 consecutive patients who underwent PFO closure by the detailed transseptal puncture technique between February 2013 and April 2023 in two centers. All of the patients had a >10 mm long-tunnel PFO. Results The procedural success rate was 100%. However, after the procedure, moderate pericardial effusion developed in one patient (0.7%) and an acute pulmonary embolism related to femoral vein thrombosis was observed in one patient (0.7%) during the first month. Complications related to the procedure were noted in two patients (1.4%) during the first month of follow-up. Residual shunts were observed in 1.4% of cases after PFO closure. Conclusion We demonstrated that the detailed transseptal technique is safe and effective for PFO closure. The detailed transseptal PFO closure technique significantly reduced the risk of atrial fibrillation, and the occurrence of residual shunts was significantly low following the closure.Article Makroekonomik ve Sosyo-Politik Endeks Nitelikli Çalışan başına Reel GSYH’yi Nasıl Etkiler? Türk Cumhuriyetleri’nden Kanıtlar(Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2023) Kucuker, Mustafa Can; Omay, Tolga; Celik, Esref Ugur; Erdal, Fehmi BuğraBu çalışmada, nitelikli çalışan başına reel GSYH düzeyini etkileyen sosyoe- konomik faktörler üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu amaçla Türk Cumhuriyetleri için makroekonomik ve sosyo-politik performans endeksleri oluşturulmuştur. Yeni oluşturulan bu endeksler kullanılarak, nitelikli çalışan başına düşen reel GSYH düzeyinin belirleyicileri literatürde ilk kez analiz edilmektedir. Ampi- rik sonuçlar, belirli eşik düzeylerinin nitelikli çalışan başına reel GSYH düze- yini önemli ölçüde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, çalışmada yer verilen ülkelerin politika yapıcıları, ülkelerinin refahı açısından iyi organize edilmiş politikalar yürütmek için makroekonomik ve sosyo-politik perfor- mans endekslerin eşik değerlerini ciddi şekilde göz önünde bulundurmalıdır.Article Citation - WoS: 21Citation - Scopus: 24Best Proximity Points of Generalized Almost Ψ-Geraghty Contractive Non-Self(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2014) Aydi, Hassen; Karapinar, Erdal; Erhan, Inci M.; Salimi, PeymanIn this paper, we introduce the new notion of almost psi-Geraghty contractive mappings and investigate the existence of a best proximity point for such mappings in complete metric spaces via the weak P-property. We provide an example to validate our best proximity point theorem. The obtained results extend, generalize, and complement some known fixed and best proximity point results from the literature.Article Dance of the Corporate Veils: Shareholder Liability in the United States of America and in the Republic of Turkey(2008) Davıs, B. E. Wendy; Hızır, SerdarThe foundation of corporate law is the existence of a legal entity separate from its shareholders, thus shielding shareholders from liability for corporate obligations. Courts have rarely, and with trepidation, pierced through this corporate veil to impose liability on shareholders for corporate malfeasance. These instances have become more common in recent decades, suggesting that corporate investors and parent corporations acquiring subsidiaries need to be diligent to minimize their risk. In this article two academicians discuss the consequences of wrongdoing and mismanagement underlying the pros and cons of the systems adapted by both countries.Article A New Model for Customer Equity(2017) Özgen, PelinIn this study, the fundamental model of customer equity is studied and an alternative model is tested where attitudinal and behavioral customer loyalty are treated as two additional individual components of customer equity. In gathering required data, survey method is used with 377 respondents based on judgement sampling. In order to test the proposed model, a different calculation for customer equity is applied. In model testing, LISREL package program is used and structural equation modelling (SEM) is applied. Results indicate that the proposed model stating that customer equity, has two more components, namely attitudinal loyalty and behavioral loyalty, is significant at 95% confidence level, has a high goodness of fit (GFI = .93) and has an acceptable level of root mean square error (RMSEA= .07). However, results also show a correlation between value equity and brand equity terms, which can be tested with different products or sample in future studiesEditorial Acemp-Optim 2019 Opening Speech(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Bulent Ertan,H.[No abstract available]Article Yeni-osmanlıcılığın Ekonomi Politiğinin Bir Eleştirisi: Ulusötesi Bir Hegemonya Projesinin Yükseliş ve Düşüşü(2017) Şenalp, Mehmet GürsanBu çalışma 2000'lerin ilk on yılında \"Yeni Türkiye\"nin dış ilişkilerinin ekonomi-politiğine odaklanıyor. İlk kısımda son yıllarda öne çıkan ve dış politikaya politik ekonomi perspektifinden yaklaşan bazı ana akım çalışmalar eleştirel bir değerlendirmeye tabi tutuluyor. İkinci kısımdaki kuramsal tartışma ise Marksist uluslararası (veya küresel) politik ekonomi (UPE) yazınında \"Amsterdam Okulu\" olarak bilinen çevrenin katkılarına dayanıyor. Analiz Van der Pijl'i izleyerek Yeni-Osmanlıcılığı, ulusötesi bir kontrol kavramı (hegemonya projesi) olarak sistem kaynaklı neoliberalizme belirli şartlarda eklemlenmek üzere dizayn edilen bir sınıf projesi olarak okuyor. Buna göre bölgesel düzeyde bir kontrol kavramı olarak Erdoğan ve Davutoğlu tarafından pazarlığa sürülen söz konusu stratejinin kaderi sistemik ve ulusötesi mücadeleler diyalektiğince çizilmiştir. Bu mücadeleler dünyayı yıkıma sürükleyen para ticareti yapan (money-dealing) ulusötesi sermaye fraksiyonunun küresel liderliğine karşı ve ondan yana olan sermaye fraksiyonları ve işçi sınıfları arasında; ulusal, bölgesel ve uluslararası seviyelerde bir çok devlet bağlamında aynı anda cereyan etmektedir
