Review Citation - WoS: 1Evolution of the Relationship Between Urban Planning and Urban Infrastructure(Kare Publ, 2018) Sahin, Savas ZaferIn the face of disasters caused by climate change and ecological degradation, the future of cities has become closely interrelated with the sensitive balance between urban planning and urban infrastructure. Integrated sustainable urban planning and management approaches, where the relationship between urban planning and urban infrastructure is re-examined to manage urban risks, manage the capacity of existing infrastructure, and adapt to climate change have been discussed for a long time. Particularly in the last 2 to 3 decades, in various countries and for different reasons, urban planning and urban infrastructure investments have diverged. Under the influence of neo-liberal policies, the urban planning process has often been transformed into a mechanism of re-distributing urban rents via urban projects, and urban infrastructure investments are presented to society as mega projects to help legitimize the effects of this transformation politically. This dissociation results in an inefficient and ineffective use of resources, a negative effect on the urban ecosystem, and an urban daily life that is fragile and disrupted. The development of a framework that re-integrates planning with infrastructure is an inevitable necessity.Review Citation - WoS: 57Citation - Scopus: 65Application of Minimum Quantity Lubrication Techniques in Machining Process of Titanium Alloy for Sustainability: a Review(Springer London Ltd, 2019) Osman, Khaled Ali; Unver, Hakki Ozgur; Seker, UlviRecently, the manufacturing sector is increasingly keen to apply sustainability at all levels of sustainability from system to products and processes. At the processes level, cutting fluids (CFs) are among the most unsustainable materials and need to be addressed properly in accordance with three main and decisive aspects, also known as the triple bottom line: ecology, society, and economics. Minimum quantity lubrication (MQL) is a promising technique that minimizes the use of CFs, thus improving sustainability. This paper presents a review of the literature available on the use of the MQL technique during different machining processes involving titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V). To carry out the study, four search engines were used to focus on the most cited articles published over a span of 17years from 2000 to 2016. The performance and drawbacks are compiled for each eco-friendly technique: dry, MQL, and cryogenics with combinations of MQL and cryogenics, critically considering machining parameters such as cutting speed, feed rate, and output measures, namely surface roughness, tool life, and cutting temperature. After drawing conclusions from critical evaluation of research body, future research avenues in the field are proposed for the academics and industry.Review KORONAVİRÜS (COVİD-19) SALGINI NEDENİYLE OKUL SINIFI ORTAMLARININ EV TABANLI SINIF ORTAMLARINA DÖNÜŞÜMÜ(2021) Güneş, Elif; Ünal, Bülent; Memikoğlu, İpekÖzellikle küçük çocuklar için eğitim alanları, okul öncesi ve ilkokulun en küçük çocuklar içinkullandıkları ve anında tanıdıkları ilk halka açık yerler olduğu için mekânsal algılarında en büyüketkiye sahip mekânlardır.

Kakao oranı ile en zengin olan bitter çikolatanın sağlık üzerine etkileri pek çok çalışmada değerlendirilmişancak tutarlı sonuçlar elde edilememiştir. Bazı araştırmalar, kakaonun yararlı etkisinin ancak çiğ tüketimi ile mümkünolabileceğini vurgularken, bazıları bitter çikolatanın yüksek doymuş yağ ve şeker içeriği nedeniyle vücut ağırlığında artışaneden olabileceğine dikkat çekmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra, kakao ve çikolata, teobromin ve kafein içeriğinden dolayı, belirginyüksek nabız ile ilişkilendirilmekte, bu nedenle aritmisi olanlarda ve yaşlı hastalarda tüketiminin kısıtlanması gerektiğibelirtilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, çikolatanın olumlu etkileri olduğunu gösteren bir çok çalışma da bulunmaktadır.Bu çalışmalarda, çikolatada bulunan sağlıksız bileşenlere karşılık, olumlu etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi gerektiğivurgulanmakta, istenmeyen olumsuz etkileri engellemek için uygun miktarlarda tüketilmesi gerektiği belirtilmektedir. Buderlemede, çikolata ve sağlık beyanları üzerine yapılan çalışmalar ve sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir.Review Citation - Scopus: 7Ion Exchange Membranes for Reverse Electrodialysis (red) Applications - Recent Developments(Amirkabir University of Technology - Membrane Processes Research Laboratory, 2021) Eti,M.; Othman,N.H.; Guler,E.; Kabay,N.The innovative membrane-based technology called reverse electrodialysis (RED) is capable of producing electrical power from the controlled mixing of two aqueous streams of different salinity. There has been tremendous progress so far in the development of RED process in terms of system development, spacer design, membranes properties and operational conditions optimization.

Due to the large number of studies in the field, it is not easy to analyze all relevant studies. There are few studies exploring the big picture of research trends in the field. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to examine longitudinal trends of game-based research in education using text mining tech-niques. 4980 publications were retrieved as an experimental dataset indexed by the SCOPUS database in the period 1968 to mid-2021. The results include descriptive statistics of game-based research, trends of the research topics, and trends in the frequency of each topic over time. They show that the number of studies focusing on the use of games in education has increased, particularly since the 2000s when Internet use accelerated and became widespread. Approxi-mately 70% of all the studies were conducted in the last 10 years. One third of the studies is related to the main topic of game-based learning. It is significant that in the last three decades the topic of serious games has been among the top three trends. Considering usage acceleration of the topics, the highest values belong to game-based learning, serious games and student science games, in that order. The findings of this study are expected to guide the field by providing a better understanding of the trends of games in education and offer a direction for future research.Review Citation - WoS: 91Citation - Scopus: 105Recommendations for Head and Neck Surgical Oncology Practice in a Setting of Acute Severe Resource Constraint During the Covid-19 Pandemic: an International Consensus(Elsevier Science inc, 2020) Mehanna, Hisham; Hardman, John C.; Shenson, Jared A.; Abou-Foul, Ahmad K.; Topf, Michael C.; AlFalasi, Mohammad; Holsinger, F. ChristopherThe speed and scale of the global COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in unprecedented pressures on health services worldwide, requiring new methods of service delivery during the health crisis. In the setting of severe resource constraint and high risk of infection to patients and clinicians, there is an urgent need to identify consensus statements on head and neck surgical oncology practice. We completed a modified Delphi consensus process of three rounds with 40 international experts in head and neck cancer surgical, radiation, and medical oncology, representing 35 international professional societies and national clinical trial groups. Endorsed by 39 societies and professional bodies, these consensus practice recommendations aim to decrease inconsistency of practice, reduce uncertainty in care, and provide reassurance for clinicians worldwide for head and neck surgical oncology in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and in the setting of acute severe resource constraint and high risk of infection to patients and staff.Review Citation - Scopus: 3Reconsidering Development Aid: a Systemic Analysis(Pluto Journals, 2020) Gülseven,Y.In the political and academic debates on development aid in the post-Cold War years, there is often reference to a “new aid architecture.” This study explores what is new about this “new architecture of aid” and traces change and continuity by comparing the form and essence of aid architecture in the Cold War and the post-Cold War years. It discusses to what extent development aid can be interrogated within the inter-systemic competition during the Cold War period. After having located aid into a systemic framework, it seeks to understand the emergence of the “new aid architecture” in the post-Cold War years. To this end, it first analyses the relevance of aid to the hegemonic project that pursues the proletarianization of the world’s poor. It then focuses on aid’s role in transforming social and industrial relations to promote capitalist competitiveness at the global level. In this respect, it pays particular attention to “global value chains.” This study argues that “new aid architecture” is nothing more than an attempt to set a new framework for the role and contribution of aid in expanding and deepening the hegemony of capital over labor on a global scale in the absence of the Soviet factor. © 2020 Pluto Journals.
