    Sustainable Software Engineering: Curriculum Development Based on Acm/Ieee Guidelines
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Mishra,A.; Mishra,D.
    Climate change risk and environmental degradation are the most critical issues of our society. Our technology-influenced daily lifestyle involves many types of software and apps which are used by society at large, and their use is increasing more than ever before. Sustainability is a significant topic for future professionals and more so for software engineers due to its impact on society. It is crucial to motivate and raise concern among students and faculty members regarding sustainability by including it in the Software Engineering (SE) curriculum. This chapter discusses how sustainability can be included in various courses of the SE curriculum by considering ACM/IEEE curriculum guidelines for the SE curriculum, literature review, and various viewpoints so that SE students can attain knowledge on sustainable software engineering. It also includes an assessment of key competences in sustainability for proposed units in the SE curriculum. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021. All rights reserved.

    Commercial Coal Preparation Plants Capability for the Removal of Trace Elements
    (Springer International Publishing, 2016) Özbayoğlu,G.
    Işiklar and Dereköy coal preparation plants clean lignite coals produced in Soma district. Run-ofmine coals contain trace elements and major elements that are associated with coal and inorganic matter. Trace elements are potentially harmful for human health and ecosystem. Physical coal cleaning is effective in reducing the concentration of many trace elements. In this study, the samples were collected from run-ofmine lignite (feed), coal preparation plant products, namely coarse (+18 mm) clean coal, fine (10-18mm, 0.5- 10mm) clean coals, middlings, coarse and fine refuses and slimes from the Dereköy and Işiklar plants systematically and chemical analyses of ash, trace and major elements were performed on each sample. Trace elements contents and distributions in each product were determined. During the cleaning of run-of-mine lignites in Işiklar and Dereköy coal preparation plants, 54.69% and 72.04% ash have been removed from the plants, respectively. Around 1/3 of Ga and Rb contents of Işiklar feed and more than 1/3 of Ga, Rb, Sr, contents of Dereköy feed could be removed by ash. Referring to major elements, rejection of 60% Ca and 53% Mg from Işiklar, and 69% Ca and around 80% Mg from Dereköy plants have been achieved. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016.

    A Statistical Analysis of Process Abnormalities in Slab Casting
    (Springer International Publishing, 2018) Keskinkilic,E.
    Continuous casting of slabs is conducted with two successive steel flows: first from ladle to tundish, then from tundish to mold. There are certain process abnormalities related to ladle, tundish and mold. For example, change of submerged entry nozzle (SEN) is the one encountered during steel flow from tundish to mold. Tundish exchange is the abnormality taking place due to replacement of processed tundish with the new one at rest. Another example is the flow of steel from ladle to tundish without a ladle shroud. In this study, a statistical analysis was conducted related to the process abnormalities in slab casters of a steel plant. Slab surface defects observed in slab yard was incorporated in this analysis. © 2018, The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society.

    Lgbti Rights in Turkey in the 2000s: Inertia Due To Political Resistance
    (Springer International Publishing, 2022) Yilmaz, G.
    The principle of non-discrimination constitutes one of the building blocks of democratic regimes and it promotes rights without discrimination on the basis of race, colour, sex, language, religion, ethnic or social origin, disability, age. Sexual orientation has been added to the list of possible areas for discrimination later on with the developments in the global Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex (LGBTI) rights. © The Editor(s)(if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

    Nutritional Management of Pediatric Ent Infections
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Kalyoncu,Z.B.; Norde,M.M.; Özel,H.G.
    Nutrition is the science that investigates how nutrients and food compounds nourish one’s body and interact with health and disease [1]. Although the relationship between diet and disease occurrence, prevention and treatment have been studied extensively [2], the interaction between nutritional status and ENT infections has been heavily understudied, especially among pediatric populations [3]. Nutritional care should be as specialized as medicine; thus, nutritional management of ENT infections needs to be tailored towards the personalized medical needs of the patients. Healthy and balanced nutrition not only maintains proper growth and development in children, but also decreases the risk of morbidity and mortality [4]. As both health care practitioners and parents become more aware of the impact of nutrition in acute and chronic diseases, it is essential to understand nutrition’s role in managing health and disease risk reduction [5]. Also, since parents feed their children daily, empowering them with the knowledge of a healthy diet would enhance their involvement and confidence in caring for the patients. Therefore, the aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the nutritional assessment and treatment to reduce the burden of pediatric ENT infections. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

    Effectiveness of macroprudential policies: Panel data evidence on the role of institutions, financial structure, and banking regulations
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Ekinci,M.F.; Özcan,G.
    The effectiveness of macro-prudential policies to mitigate credit cycles and reduce capital flow volatility is at the center of policy debates. In this chapter, we investigate the factors which influence the performance of macro-prudential tools by focusing on institutions, financial structure, and banking sector regulations. We find strong evidence indicating that macro-prudential measures are more effective when they are complemented with a tighter regulatory framework. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021.

    Non-Discrimination of Religious Minorities in Turkey: a Fairytale
    (Springer International Publishing, 2022) Akdemir,T.G.
    In Turkey, the principle of non-discrimination on the basis of religion has been a controversial issue given the fragility of the identity politics; the concept of minority, citizenship, unifying principles and religion being a gluing factor of society. © The Editor(s)(if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

    Fixed Point Theory in Metric Type Spaces
    (Springer International Publishing, 2016) Agarwal,R.P.; Karapinar,E.; O’regan,D.; Roldán-López-De-Hierro,A.F.
    Written by a team of leading experts in the field, this volume presents a self-contained account of the theory, techniques and results in metric type spaces (in particular in G-metric spaces); that is, the text approaches this important area of fixed point analysis beginning from the basic ideas of metric space topology. The text is structured so that it leads the reader from preliminaries and historical notes on metric spaces (in particular G-metric spaces) and on mappings, to Banach type contraction theorems in metric type spaces, fixed point theory in partially ordered G-metric spaces, fixed point theory for expansive mappings in metric type spaces, generalizations, present results and techniques in a very general abstract setting and framework. Fixed point theory is one of the major research areas in nonlinear analysis. This is partly due to the fact that in many real world problems fixed point theory is the basic mathematical tool used to establish the existence of solutions to problems which arise naturally in applications. As a result, fixed point theory is an important area of study in pure and applied mathematics and it is a flourishing area of research. © David Ralph 2015.
