Spatial Requirements for Elderly and Disabled People in the Frame of Universal Design
(Khazar University Press, 2017-12)
Yavuz ARAT
The living areas and fulfilling all the requirements of these areas’ users are very important for designers. Space design for the old and disabled users in the scope of privileged individuals is important from this point. The situation of the privileged individual mass fulfilling their basic needs like shelter, education, working and entertainment in a physically and psychologically unlimited way unlike to the other individuals is exposed as the most important design problem. Designers must pay attention to the user desires and requirements while they design spaces. However, the desires and requirements of the changing/changed body structures of old and disabled people happen to be different from the people without any handicaps in their bodies. In this scope the stereotyped “average dimensions” used in designs are not valid in the spaces with specialized users. In other words, the arrangements without changing their living environments or using the privileged human typologies as design inputs in rebuilt spaces make it possible for old and disabled people to live without detaching from life. The basic target wanted here is with the aim of continuing a life without detaching from their families. The universal design handled in this scope developed a suggestion aiming to expose the ability to continue an equal life with all living creations. In the study the outer and inner space qualities of Konya Selcuk University Elderly and Disabled Education, Care Application and Research Center (EDCRC) project will be exemplified from the point of spatial requirements of privileged individuals.

Effective online learning sessions require designing sessions that address learners'engagement and achievement across diversegroups. The duration and frequency of the session affect user satisfaction and quiz results, but it is difficult to optimize both simultaneously.This paper presents a combined optimization model that uses stepwise regression, NSGA-II, and gray relational analysis (GRA) to optimize the design of a session, leveraginga publicly available e-learning dataset (more than 2,500 anonymized records). Directional relationships between session parameters and outcomes were quantified using regression models,and Pareto-optimal solutions were identified using NSGA-II, which were further assessed under three teaching-priorityscenariosusing GRA. The results show that a 60-minute weekly session is theoptimal balance between the more satisfaction-focused designs, and that allotting 113 minutes across eight sessions is optimal for quizperformance. The explanations of the regression models (R2 = 0.20 for satisfaction and R2 = 0.11 for quiz scores) are modest, suggesting that the results should be viewed as guidance for decision-making rather thanprescriptions. Despitethese shortcomings, the framework emphasizes trade-offs between the timingand frequency of online learning and offers a data-driven,systematic approachtooptimizing online learning. Thisresearch contributesto evidence-based instructional design and provides practitioners with actionable insights to enhance international online learning.

Tarihin Ulus Devlet İçin Gerekliliği: Karabağ Örneği
(TESAM Akademi, 2026-02-18)

Milliyetçilik kuramlarından biri olan modernist yaklaşıma göre modern devletler 18.yy’de moderniteyle birlikte ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu kıstasta, millet, milliyetçilik, egemenlik, toprak kavramları, modern anlamda ulus-devletlerin ayrılamaz bileşenleridir. Bu çalışmada ulus-devletin inşasında tarihin rolüne vurgu yapılmakta ve genel anlamda Azerbaycan’ın, özelinde ise Karabağ’ın tarihi ele alınmaktadır. Ruslar, kendi çıkarları doğrultusunda Ermenileri kullanmış ve uygulamış oldukları iskân politikası sonucu bölgede demografik değişimin onların lehine evrilmesine sebep olmuşlardır. Ermenilerin, Azerbaycan toprakları üzerindeki talepleri hususundaki baskıları bu olgu üzerinden şekillenmiştir. Tarihi gerçeklerin yardımıyla birlikte, Azerbaycan’ın yoğun mücadelesi zaferle sonuçlanmıştır. Bu çalışma, Karabağ savaşında Azerbaycan milliyetçiliğinin neden Ermenistan milliyetçiliği karşısında başarılı olduğunu sorgulamaktadır. Sonuç olarak yapay tarihin, gerçekte var olanı yenmesinin mümkün olmayacağı vurgulanmaktadır. Çalışmada konuyla ilgili literatür taraması yöntemi kullanılmış, akademik kitaplar, hakemli dergiler ve medya arşivlerinden yararlanılmıştır.

This paper presents a comprehensive examination of the mathematical modeling and optical-thermal analysis of an innovative solar beam-down parabolic dish concentrating (BD-PDC) collector. This study aims to develop a novel design that addresses key challenges such as heat transfer losses and extensive structural requirements inherent in traditional concentrated solar power systems. The innovative BD-PDC system integrates a secondary hyperbolic reflector with a primary parabolic dish collector, directing concentrated solar radiation towards a receiver at ground level. A comprehensive mathematical model was developed and analyzed to assess the optical and thermal performance of the proposed system. The research utilizes the Monte Carlo ray-tracing methodology for optical analysis to optimize various system components and create a prototype. Furthermore, to evaluate the performance of the BD-PDC system under real-world conditions, this study incorporates direct normal irradiance (DNI) data from Jodhpur, India. The diurnal simulations indicate that the BD-PDC exhibits considerable effectiveness in harnessing and focusing solar radiation, yielding peak thermal efficiencies of 76.8 % while generating solar thermal power of 16.51 kWh per day. An assessment of system efficacy was conducted across various seasonal intervals, with peak performance noted during the winter season. This investigation provides critical insights into the design and development of BD-PDC-type solar concentrator systems, contributing to the advancement of more efficient and sustainable solar energy technologies.
