Turkey - Science topic

Dear all,

Turkey has been hit by several major earthquakes. Thousands of people died, millions lost their dearest and their homes. Turkey is trying to recover from both the figurative and real ruins. What would you suggest to do, both to academics and students affected by these earthquakes, to utilize academic studies to recover from these disasters? Thank you very much in advance.

Best wishes

In Turkey, translation is used in the multiple-choice format in language proficiency exams. I wonder if there are any other examples around the world.

The recent earthquake in Turkey and neighboring countries.

I am looking for information on the latest earthquake in Turkey. Can anyone help me find accurate and up-to-date records or data for the event? I have searched the PEER website but I couldn't find any appropriate information. Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Can we propose newer seismic provisions for designing a building along a faultline of tectonic plates? Is it possible to safeguard the occupants of such earthquake occured recently in Turkey of magnitude 7.8 richter?

Appeal to geophysicists and leadership of Turkey.

Greetings to you, colleagues. It's a tough time, I sympathize with you.

Moreover, I saw the anomalies of these two earthquakes ten hours before the start of the shocks.

Unfortunately, one station does not give data: about where this earthquake will be. This means that it is impossible to predict. For an accurate forecast, you need to have a network of five stations or more.

Only once I was able to give an accurate forecast of an earthquake of magnitude 8 with two stations - this is according to the anomaly in Haifa, I gave a forecast of an earthquake in the Sea of ​​Okhotsk - for 4 days. The error in the start time of the shocks was 10 hour, since there were no additional stations to get the intersections of the vectors, the triangle of error.

If you and your government want to create a working group that will supply equipment to seismic stations (for about 10 stations), then I am ready to give you advice on the interpretation of the Kozyrev-Yagodin wave, forecasting with high accuracy. I was offered this in a laboratory in Russia, but my children are in Israel and Turkey and I must, first of all, protect their lives.

At present, the dust storm has more and intense in the Middle East and have many environmental problems for some countries in this region especially in Iraq, the UAE, Kuwait, and Iran ,

Some researchers and scientists say that this problem is caused by climate change and others say by improper water management. For example, the construction of river dams in Turkey, Syria and other countries is the main cause of dust intensification. what is your opinion?

Before you put me in the same category as Von Daniken, hear me out.

When the ice spread across Europe, it basically annihilated everything and changed the landscape. New valleys and fjords later emerged where there had been none.

My reason for asking such a speculative question is partly related to the extraordinary age of the Göbekli Tepe site in Turkey, and the fact that in order to raise such structures skills are needed which presuppose organized learning of some sort.

Today archaeology has moved down at almost a molecular level. And I thought this might make it possible to search for clues of what preceded the ice-age in a new way. So, the question is does the evidence exist, and is any search feasible?

I want to apply Post-doc Chemistry in Turkey. Can anyone suggest me a University in Turkey???

Dear colleagues,

We are currently looking for the type material of Paul Oppenheim's 1919-work "Das Neogen in Kleinasien" (Zeitschrift der Deutschen Geologischen Gesellschaft 70), specifically of Neogene non-marine Mollusca from the Denizli Basin. Oppenheim himself wrote in the work that the material is deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, but it can't be found there. It couldn't be located in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, storing large parts of Oppenheim's collection, either.

Does anyone know of other places that stores parts of Oppenheim's types?

Kind regards,

Thomas

Hello, we applied Epidural Electrical Stimulation to a patient who had a Spinal Cord Injury for the first time in Turkey. As a result of my literature research, no information was given about the design of rehabilitation programs. How should the rehabilitation program be shaped for this patient? Also, how should epidural electrical stimulation mapping be?

I have T=5 N=26 panel data set for NUTS 2 Regions of Turkey. Can I use System GMM technique? Thanks in advance for your valuable comments.

We are a research group from different countries (Palestine, Jordan, India, Malaysia, Germany, Turkey, UK, USA) who are interested in investigating personality traits as well mental disorders from different perspectives, biological, psychological, and socio-cultural domains.

For those who find themselves having the potential to collaborate in data collection (in some cases already we have a plenty enough bulk of raw data), surveying and reviewing the related literature reviews, writing per the APA style, analyzing, interpreting results and drawing conclusions, etc..

Please, send your statement letter of interest to: wael.abuhasan@aaup.edu, and kindly determine where you are most fitting to play a role in such a research project.

Sincerely yours,

Wael M. F. Abuhasan

It is my observation that RG lists name of each regular department at each university heading. But, there are some departments that are not similar in each country. One example is "Department of Public Finance". This field is organized as a separate department in Turkey. In US, it is not named a separate department. It is a part in department of economics. It may have different structure in different countries.

My point here is that those public finance scholars look for their department listing, and have no option to list their name. Some of them put their names on similar department listing such as department of economics or department of finance.

How to correct this technical issue? Suggestions?, thoughts?

I have a comparative study on Morocco and Turkey, and I am looking for references or studies on Turkish political institutions: the legislative, the executive, and the judiciary

I have an experiment like this: control group (n=3), treatment group 1(n=3), and treatment group 2 (n=3). I have one readout for all 3 groups: plasma IL-6 level. do I have to do a normality test such as Shapiro-Wilk test for each group before we perform one-way ANOVA test? In fact, the minimal sample number per group for running Shapiro-Wilk test is 6. so, that means I have to do nonparametric ANOVA test instead? what about post hoc Turkey test? do we need to run this Turkey test after we pass a normality test for each group?

I'm really confused on this and looking forward to your help. Thanks,

Li,

We are conducting a study on the of of prisoners as labourers, particularly 70,000 university students, who are incarcerated in Turkish prison system. If you have any research papers and items of work that explain the way factories are constructed specifically for prison labour, please let me know.

Could you please direct me to works on abusive supervision in Turkey? I am particularly interested in Turkish language and sociologically oriented papers and opinion pieces. DM me with papers please. We are starting a national study soon.

Dear colleagues,

I was trying to find texts of some of the capitulations treaties of the Ottoman Empire with European powers, as I am preparing study material. However, I was able to find only doctrinal sources (articles) quoting them, but no full text or parts of their texts.

Can anyone help me where to find their texts, ideally online in english. It can be any typical capitulations agreement like with England, France, Venice, Russia or any other. Just to give some examples in the study book to prove the point what they were about.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, I am a third year midwifery student in the UK. I have selected my papers for my literature review but I am struggling to justify my use of international papers rather than UK studies/papers (there wasn't any on my subject, but they are from the USA, Turkey and Switzerland all written in English). So how would i justify the use of these papers?

Any help would be great! Thank you! Amber

We know that the economic situation isn't good in the world because of this pandemic (COVID-19) including Turkey. So recently Turkey has taken some steps for its economy. 1st step: currency swaps with other countries amid this pandemic. After then some increased in the value of lira from the dollar. 2nd step: reinforcing its economy (Implementing long- and short-term economic stimulus based on Turkish lira with low-cost financing programs).

Hi, I want to get three years of hourly wind speed data at 50 meters height for specific locations in Turkey. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any good websites for this. Do you know any online sources for this?

Sir my teacher has given me a task to discuss the disaster risk management cycle in context of latest earthquake in Turkey 🇹🇷 and have given me time of 3 hours.

I am specifically looking for cases in Russian, Chinese, Turkey and South African courts which deals with Venezuelan recognition. Since the government of these countries recognize Mr. Maduro and not Mr. Guaido, I am trying to find does the courts in these country follow the one voice doctrine and accept that the courts should follow the recognition provided by their governments.

Different experiences occurring historically lead to some differences when considering different countries. What could be the reasons for these differences?

For example, the three countries which experience a revolution in the past (France, Turkey, Japan) in comparison, have different levels of political polarization, despite similar historical experience. What could be the reasons for this?

When a polarization scale is made; Turkey, France, Japan ranking Is it possible?

The mineral deposits of the Balkan Peninsula and western Turkey are bound to modern fold belts such as the Carpathians, Dinarides, Balkanides, Hellenides, and Pontides separated by large intermountain basins, e.g., the Pannonian Basin and bordering small basement structures such as the Dobrudja Zone. In view of the vast outcrops of Mesozoic and Cenozoic rocks, unsurprisingly, the majority of mineral deposits are found in Cretaceous, Paleogene, and Neogene rocks. This SE European mineral province is known for its porphyry-type and epithermal silver and gold deposits, e.g., Rosia Montana, Romania, Bor, Serbia, Chelopech, Bulgaria, and Kisladag, Turkey. The metallogenic districts are also host to Pb-Cu-Zn deposits. Additionally, Fe-Mn- and bauxite deposits are still mined. This Special Issue is open for new ideas and models created for these classical ore deposits. First and foremost it will be a forum for research on mineral deposits irrespective of their economic importance as a deposit under exploitation for quite a long period of time or as a newly discovered site in the state of a mining project, such as the lithium-boron mineralization in the Jadar Basin, Serbia. Even if some of the non-metallic mineral assemblages in sedimentary and igneous host rocks have not yet come under the spotlight of mining engineers and entrepreneurs they may be suitable targets for new genetic models and element concentrations hitherto not known from such lithologies. The following keywords should give an idea of the topics of interest for this Special Issue in view of the current and future technologies is given below:

Unconventional resources in uncommon environments should be the central theme of this volume. New ideas may be presented as a review or a research paper.

I have whole rock mantle peridotite (harzburgite and dunite) analyse results (ICP-ES) from ACME (Canada) and Academia Sinica (Taiwan). There are three samples problematic for me. I need to explain why these sample's Al₂O₃ (2.69-3.91 %wt.) contents are high but CaO contents (0.12-0.14) are low... What reason could increase Al₂O₃ and/or decrease CaO content?

Besides, Cr₂O₃ contents (4.5-6.3 %wt.) of these peridotites are also high than others. But compared to other samples, there is no significant difference in terms of the Al₂O₃ content of spinel (by mineral chemistry-EPMA).

How can the scenario be interpreted in this case?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Colleagues,

We have received information within the scope of the bilateral cooperation project that signed between Turkey and France Ministries (details about the project support can be found in the attached file). The main topic of the project will be on the indigenous chicken breeds, their genotyping and valorization. We would like to invite you to join our project.

I will share our project proposal with interested colleagues.

***the deadline for the project submission is 27th June 2019.

Waiting for your responses.

Russia and Turkey's policies intersect at some point. In the events in Syria, in the perspective of various organizations in Syria, in the Eastern Mediterranean, Libya and Europe, these intersections are experienced in the energy lines. The downing of Russia's plane and the killing of its ambassador did not break relations. Be a member of NATO, Turkey does not adversely affect relations with Russia. Russia-Turkey relations will be shaped by how the process next time?

TWF was established by a code number 6741 in 2016. Turkey handed over the precious public companies that fund by executive decision. What's really interesting is that TWF's chairman of the board and, the person who appointed the auditors is President of the Turkey. Besides, TWF depends on presidency in terms of administrative law and TWF's vice chairman of the board is Minister of Finance who son-in-law of the president. Is there another sovereign wealth fund in which the president is so active? I know that there are similar situations in Arab countries, China and Russia. But I don't know if there is a sovereign wealth fund managed directly by the president.Currently, TWF which does not currently have much activity, in later times, under these circumstances, it would be beneficial to Turkey?

Hi!

Currently I am analyzing my data and I've got some results of which I don't know what to do with it. I've tested whipped cream on whipping time at three different moments: day 0, day 1 and day 2 (three different groups). Therefore I used a one-way ANOVA test to analyze if there's a difference between the means of the groups. This test is significant, however, when I use a Post Hoc test to analyze which groups differ, these results are all insignificant. The variances are equal so I used the Turkey test (but any other test I can use in my program give the same insignificant results).

I think this is because the ANOVA may give a type I error (incorrect rejection of the H0 hypothesis that there's no difference between the groups) and the Post-Hoc can do a more reliable analysis between the groups. But I don't know exactly how it works.

Does somebody might know how to draw a clear conclusion from these results! I would be very grateful for any help you can provide!

I am trying to reconstitute the coexistence rules that existed between tigers and lions from the Caspian sea and India from historian texts. Unfortunately it lacks concrete situations even in India where

I have read your film on lions on the trees. Perhaps it was a possible mean of coexistence at least in temperate forests of Armenia and India

Have you other ideas on this subject ?

Could you give me also the contact with your Indian colleague who appeared in the film ?

thank you

What publishers does the "Academic Journals" listed as predator include? For example, I found the "Academic Journals of TURKISH" published by "Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey" as a publisher with interesting Journals.

Since Turkey is located in the Mediterranean macroclimate region in the sub-tropical zone, great rainfall variations can be seen between the years. at the north part, extreme rainfall and flood hazards and at the south and south-west part overheating are among main problems. However, the severity and of these variations is different from region to region. how can we define the most risky region, which its built heritage will be affected more in terms of future climate change?

I am currently in Turkey with 21 samples of loggerhead turtle (Caretta carreta) plasma that require protein electrophoresis, the lab that was due to be running the samples today now says they are unable to do so. Any suggestions would be hugely welcome.

This question is very important for conference managers in Turkey. For example, our conference (October 2019, https://www.intraders.org/october/ ) presentation language is English. We are close to İstanbul and we have 3 nights İstanbul Program.

Hello!

When I searched on the net I found out that the whole Bible has been translated into Geez / Classical Ethiopic before 6. Century AD. But unfourtunately I could not reach to such a translation of Bible anywhere. Dilmann’s translation is available but this is ofcourse a new one. So, is it possible to reach to the ancient Geez translation of Bible which had been made before sixth century AD or not. And does such a translation exist still or is it perished/lost?

If anyone could reply my question I would be very happy …

Yours Faithfully

I am a graduate student at Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen University, Institute of Social Sciences, Department of Management and Organization. It was necessary to develop a questionnaire for my thesis study. For this reason, in order to get expert opinion and to correct my mistakes, I needed to apply to the opinions of management and organization experts. I think that it would be helpful and necessary to take your opinions about my work which I have explained below. Thank you in advance for your valuable time and contribution.

System, environment, strategy and dialectical method are assumed to be important independent variables in the solution of management problems. At the same time, it is important questions to what extent management gives importance to these concepts, which are independent variables of strategic management, and to what extent they have a positive attitude. The success of management in modern theories; knowledge of these concepts, consciousness, depends on believing in the necessity of these concepts. İn my thesis I want to examine to what extent they give importance to these variables work in different types and sizes of organizations in Turkey. I aim to investigate the level of consciousness and attitudes towards these concepts. It is therefore necessary to develop a scale.

Worried for my research

The systematic use of millet as designation for non-Muslim Ottoman communities. People were bound to their millets by their religious affiliations (or their confessional communities), rather than their ethnic origins, according to the millet concept. In the Ottoman Empire, a millet was a separate court of law pertaining to "personal law" under which a confessional community (a group abiding by the laws of Muslim Sharia, Christian Canon law, or Jewish Halakha) was allowed to rule itself under its own laws. (Wikipedia)

In one of the meeting with Director Cotton, I come to know that Pakistani breeder are practicing Pure line/Pedigree Selection for the development of cotton. They are also considering the cotton as highly self pollinated crop? However, literature show that it is not fully self pollinated crop? Why not synthetics or composite varieties evolved in cotton

I think practicing purre line in cotton could reduce the phenotypic plasticity to adapt multiple environmental conditions. It may drain the varieties which come and disappears often quickly?

So I want to What kind of breeding methods are practiced in other countries like China, India, USA, Turkey?

Any body interested we could review the breeding methods of cotton mutually?

Sir, I would like to have your kind feed back in lieu with the treaties of Lausanne and Sevres.

I am working on a panel data modeling research aiming to find labor force dynamics which are affecting employment of young newly graduated women engineers in Turkey. We employed the latest Labor Force Survey to build our model, however as you would realize, for country level inferences Turkstat provides weights for each observation, each observation represent a specific share of the Turkish population. However after filtering all female, young, new graduates, who have an engineering degree and works in a role related to engineering my sample fell to 726 from 370,000. From that point I think I am no longer trying to make an inference on Turkish population and should I keep using weights in modeling and discussion part? Or should I treat data as an ordinary random sampled survey and give the same weight for each individual.

Basrah city is the point where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers unite into the Shatt al-Arab. In recent times, the city has been facing a serious fresh water shortage due to a decreasing river level, which resulted in salt water intrusion. The salinity levels of the Shatt al-Arab increased more than fifteen-fold in the last year, as total dissolve solids, which measures water purity, increased from approximately 10000 to more than 28000 ppm. Although there are several causes related to this issue, the problems started in the 1990s as Turkey built several dams on the Euphrates river. As part of its GAP project, Turkey is now finishing the construction of the Ilisu dam on the Tigris river, which will have a huge impact on Iraq’s water provision. It will reduce fresh water levels in Tigris river by 25%. This impact will be mostly felt at the downstream end of the river, at which lies Basrah.

the power of any economy is governed by several determinants, including the value and stability of currency, the interest rates, and the overall structure of the monetary policy.

however, the value of currency is very vulnerable to political circumstances, as we see in Turkey, but how can the economy observe such shock and what is the impact of the currency on the economic development?

While, there is another opinion that Turkish business leaders believe that an Iran unbound by such restrictions would become a rapidly growing export market for Turkish goods and services as well as a fertile field for investment. According to an industrialist familiar with Turkey’s economic relations with Iran, an end to the sanctions regime could open the way for exports of Turkish goods and services to Iran worth more than $90 billion in the medium term. Additionally, the ability to import more of its energy from Iran would reduce some of the squeeze of Turkey’s current dependence on Russia, especially in the gas sector.
