    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[A Hybrid Digital Video Watermarking Method Based on DCT and DWT]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Digital video watermarking is one of the solutions for copyright protection of digital  multimedia data and draws great attention of both researchers and digital video owners. In  this work, a new hybrid digital video watermarking method which uses the discrete cosine  transform (DCT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is proposed. Each frame is processed  with one of the DCT and DWT methods or a combination of them, half of a frame by the  DCT method and the other half by the DWT method. Selection of the watermarking for each  frame in the video is determined randomly. The proposed method has undergone several  attacks in order to check its robustness and compare to the DCT and DWT methods. The  proposed hybrid method including a watermarking diversity throughout the video improves  robustness against attacks.Keywords: Digital video watermarking, discrete cosine transform (DCT), discrete wavelet  transform (DWT), copyright protection.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Classification of Fetal State from the Cardiotocogram Recordings using ANN and  Simple Logistic]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, we present a comparison of machine learning technics using antepartum  cardiotocographs performed by SisPorto 2.0 in predicting newborn outcome. CTG is widely  used in pregnancy as a technique of measuring fetal well-being, mainly in pregnancies with  increased risk of complications. It is a non-invasive way for checking the fetal conditions in  the antepartum period. CTG is a continuous electronic record of the baby’s heart rate  acquired via an ultrasound transducer placed on the mother’s abdomen. The information efficiently took out from these recordings can be used to envisage pathological state of the  fetus and makes an early intervention possible before there is a permanent damage to the  fetus. Using features extracted from the FHR and UC signals, the techniques ANN and  Simple Logistic was trained to predict the normal and the pathological state. The dataset  which consist of 1831 instances with 21 attributes was tested by using the methods which is  mentioned above. The CTG recordings were also categorized 1655 of them as normal and  176 of them as pathological by three expert obstetricians’ consensus. They were showed that  ANN and Simple Logistic based methods were able to classify the data as normal and  pathological with 98.5% and 98.7% accuracy, respectively.

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Structural Engineering Applications of Artificial Neural Networks]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[In this study, infilled planar frames and confined reinforced concrete section have been  analysed using Artificial Neural Network (ANN). ANN architecture was chosen in which  multi layer, feed forward, and back propagation algorithm was used. The training data of  infill frame used were provided by a finite element model in which non-linearity of materials  and the structural interface were taken into account under increasing lateral load. Using the  proposed analytical model (layered model) were generated the training data for confined  reinforced concrete section. Analytical technique uses realistic material models for confined  and unconfined concrete. After completing the training phase, verification of the performance  of the network was carried out using old (included in training phase) and new (not included in  training phase) patterns. The controls conducted in the test phase. The findings of this  exercise show that the ANN algorithm can be successfully and easily used within reasonable  accuracy in order to decrease computational time in finding infill frame and the momentcurvature  relationships of reinforced concrete sections.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Deposit insurance is an insurance system that guarantees bank deposits of people in case of  bank failure or a run on the bank. The system is first introduced in 1933 for Turkey and taken  its final form with regulations in 2004. Deposit insurance in Turkey is handled by Savings  Deposit Fund Insurance and according to the latest regulations compensation limit covers a  maximum of 50,000 TL per depositor per member institution. Deposit insurance system  which is adopted in most countries has various advantages for both individuals and banks.  However academic debates commonly focus on whether this system encourages banks to take  excessive risk. In this context the purpose of this study is to analyze the link between deposit  insurance and bank risk taking. For this purpose, a panel regression analysis is applied to the  ratio of deposits under insurance to total deposits and basic risk measures of banks operating  in Turkey during 2004-2010.

    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Finding the different ways of the improvement as a multidimensional process causes  different improvement ways in all countries in the world. The economic improvement that  cause a structural changing is very important in all economies all over the world and it is  necessary for the least developed countries at the same time. These countries have solved the  phenomena of poverty, unemployment, low life standards and unimproved. The  differentiation in the socio-cultural structures of the least developed and developing countries  effect the improvement in a positive way.  In the study, the socio-economic factors of improvement and a classification according  to the gross national product levels per person in the least developed and developing countries  have been done by taking the definition accepted by World Bank into consideration. There are  fifteen countries in the classification of the least developed and developing countries. The  data of thirty-three factors in the comparison of these countries have been obtained from the  data source of World Bank, OECD, EUROSTAT and UN (2000 – 2009). The Statistical and Casual Models in the kinds of econometric models have been  estimated with ‘’Panel Model Method’’. For choosing the suitable model, the test for  choosing model ‘’Hausman’’ has been used. As a result, the factors determined to the  improvement of the countries in a different improvement levels have been discussed and the  comments related to them have been made.]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The Investigation On Sustainability Of Total Quality Management In Higher Education  Through Deming’s Pdca Cycle]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Total Quality Management (TQM) is an approach that seeks to improve quality and  performance which will meet or exceed customer expectations. This can be achieved by  integrating all quality-related functions and processes throughout the organizations. Total  Quality Management (TQM) is an integrated organizational effort designed to improve  quality at every level. In a TQM effort, participation of all members of an organization is  very important about sustainability. The term sustainability has become popular in policyoriented  research as an expression of what public policies ought to achieve. According to  Brundtland, sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present  without compromising the needs of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability  management, the ability to direct the course of a company, community, organization, or  country in ways that restore and enhance all forms of capital (human, natural, manufactured,  and financial) to generate stakeholder value and contribute to the well-being of current and  future generations. TQM as a management system could be expanded to include components  of sustainability.  The methods for implementing this approach come from the teachings of such quality leaders  as Philip B. Crosby, W. Edwards Deming, Armand V. Feigenbaum, Kaoru Ishikawa and  Joseph M. Juran. For example W. Edwards Deming in the 1950&#039;s proposed that business  processes should be analyzed and measured to identify sources of variations that cause  products to deviate from customer requirements. Deming created a (rather oversimplified)  diagram to illustrate this continuous process, commonly known as the PDCA cycle for Plan,  Do, Check, Act.  In higher education, this study is aimed that offering sustainability of quality education  among the most important goals for university strives to achieve. Moreover the purpose of  this study is to increase the degree of quality awareness, practice, and appreciation of using  PDCA cycle in higher education. As a result, in this study it is mentioned about relationship  between sustainability of total quality management in higher education using by PDCA cycle  technique.Keywords: Total Quality Management, PDCA Cycle, Sustainability, Sustainability  Management, Higher Education]]></dcterms:abstract>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Importance Of Training Aimed At Production In Businesses:  Educational Studies Carried Out By The Turkish Private Sector]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[There are basically three kinds of educational activities in the World and in Turkey. These  are formal/organized education, non-formal education, and informal education. In this age the  importance of informal education is increasing. This is due to the inadequacy of formal  education and its complementary, non-formal education, for the postfordist contexture of  production. In Turkey, businesses do not play a part in any of these three kinds of educational  activities. However, their active output are getting larger and larger from formal to informal  education. While there is an indirect participation of the businesses on this issue in formal and  non-formal education, in informal education there is direct participation. Actually, the core of  informal education constitutes the learnings experienced in the work place.  In this study, within the training aimed at production in the businesses, apprenticeship  workshops which are implemented within the frame of formal education and vocational  training which is the extension of formal education, as well as various educational activities  and informal education which are implemented within the formal education are discussed.  The necessity of informal education and its further connection to productivity is emphasized.
