Publication Restricted Analyzing the Wastewater Treatment Facility Location/Network Design Problem via System Dynamics: Antalya, Turkey Case(Academic Press Ltd. - Elsevier Science Ltd., 2022) DEMİREL, DUYGUN FATİH; Gönül-Sezer, Eylül Damla; Pehlivan, Seyda AlperenWastewater treatment facility location selection and network design issues have become attractive topics in the field of wastewater management due to increasing human population, resource scarcity, environmental concerns, and rise of necessity for sustainable solutions for future policy designs. Especially in areas where the demand for wastewater treatment increases dramatically over the years because of reasons such as high migration levels, rapid industrialization, and tourism activities, the problem turns out to be more critical and dynamic. The existing studies try to deal with the issue through mathematical modeling approaches based on optimization perspectives, which require significant computational effort. In this study, an alternative approach based on system dynamics (SD) method is proposed to examine the complex dynamic and nonlinear structure of waste-water treatment facility location selection and network design problems. The proposed SD simulation model is designed for a densely populated industrial and tourism spot, the city of Antalya, located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey. The model is capable of determining where and when to build a new wastewater treatment facility as well as generating the generic wastewater network structure to be built for the five districts situated in the city center based on cost issues for 2015-2040 period. In addition, the impacts of demand level changes for wastewater treatment due to population variations are analyzed via several scenarios to help decision makers to develop sustainable and cost-efficient management policies. Although SD is a frequently utilized approach in the water/wastewater management arena, to the best of our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to examine the complex and dynamic nature of wastewater treatment facility location selection and network design problems through SD approach.Publication Restricted Forecasting of Turkey's Total Electricity Consumption in Sectoral Bases Using Machine Learning Algorithms(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) HAJJAR, MHD KHAIR; ÜLKÜ, İLAYDAElectrical energy is a milestone in the economic growth of each country. This study forecasts the sectoral and total electricity consumption in Turkey until the year 2050. This study, utilize two distinct time series forecasting methods namely Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) and Sequential Minimal Optimization (SMO) as a model to generate the forecasting formulas. The sectoral and total electricity consumption for Turkey from the year 1970 to 2020 was obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute and fed to the models to forecast the upcoming years. The two models were evaluated and compared using determination coefficient R2 and mean absolute percentage error MAPE. It is found that MLP performed better in forecasting the commercial, governmental, illumination and other sectors and SMO performed better in forecasting the industrial and household sectors alongside the total electricity consumption. © 2022 IEEE.Publication Restricted Global Impact of the Pandemic on Education: A Study of Natural Language Processing(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2022) AYAZ, TEOMAN BERKAY; USLU, MUHAMMED SAFA; AĞCABAY, İBRAHİM; AHMED, FARUK; KORKMAZ, ÖMER FARUK; KÜREKSİZ, MESUT; ULUÇAM, EMRE; YILDIRIM, ELİF; KOCAÇINAR, BÜŞRA; AKBULUT, FATMA PATLARSchool closures due to the Covid-19 pandemic have changed education forever and we have witnessed the rise of online learning platforms. The education units of the countries made great efforts to adapt to this new order. The expanding, quick spread of the virus and careful steps have prompted the quest for reasonable choices for continuing education to guarantee students get appropriate education and are not impacted logically or mentally. Different methods were attempted to understand how students were affected by this big change. In addition to the significance of traditional surveys and consulting services, the utilization of social media analysis is used as a supportive approach. This paper analyzes the feedback of students on social media via tweets. Deep sentiment analysis is employed to identify embedded emotions such as negative, neutral, and positive. We also aimed to classify irrelevant tweets as the fourth category. Our experiments showed that the tweets are mostly biased toward negative emotions. © 2022 IEEE.Publication Restricted An Integrated Assessment of Food Waste Model Through Intuitionistic Fuzzy Cognitive Maps(Elsevier, 2023) EMİR, OĞUZ; Ekici, Şule ÖnselIn recent years, the waste management field has received substantial attention from policymakers, organizations, academics, and researchers due to increased focus on sustainability and carbon footprint reduction as well as concerns around rapid depletion of natural resources, public health, and environmental impact. Studies on food waste management have become especially important given the dramatic growth of the world's population and global hunger and malnutrition crisis. Considering the fact that one-third of the world's food supply is wasted or lost annually while hundreds of millions of people are living with food insecurity, it is easy to understand the importance of research studying appropriate food waste management actions for sustainability. Since the subject of food waste involves complicated linkages, the determination of a suitable model is pivotal. Integrated assessment models (IAMs) have been commonly used to uncover hidden patterns and present insights to policymakers. Furthermore, these models are well-designed to integrate data, information, and multidisciplinary knowledge into a single framework. This project presents a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) extended with intuitionistic fuzzy sets using the documentary coding method. This intuitionistic FCM (iFCM) is used to analyze the primary factors, explore the interactions between food waste factors, and prioritize some policies to reduce food waste by incorporating hesitancy weight factors representing the lack of information. Then several what-if scenario analyses are generated to review the interrelationships between factors in the developed model and facilitate a decision-making process for researchers. Eventually, it is concluded that food waste reduction is achievable with the implementation of the right policies, and this also improves the other concepts such as the intention not to food waste, shopping routines, and planning routines.
