ÇALI, ECEM
All human lives are impacted by technology, from small instruments to complex systems. Thus, human beings are willing to accept or reject emerging technologies. One of the most important instances of these emerging technologies is drone technology. Numerous industries, including transportation, security, surveillance, agriculture, the military, and construction, have adopted this technology for their jobs. Construction can be seen as one of the top industries in terms of drone usage, serving as the link between the physical and digital worlds. The purpose of this study is to understand the impact, acceptance, and rejection of emerging technologies which is drone technology, in the construction sector, take a sociological picture of the current situation of the industry, and understand the impact of drones to produce the reality of data from the theoretical framework of Edwards and Ramirez (2016) that contains six dimensions which are (1) intended and unintended effects, (2) direct and indirect effects, (3) reconstitution in use, (4) immanence of effect, (5) degree of success, and (6) degree of discontinuity.

Designing for new generation electronic musical instruments: Strategies to improve interaction, user experience and live performance
Öke, Ethem Hürsu; Pedgley, Owaın Francıs; Şener Pedgley, Bahar; Department of Industrial Design (2020-10-30)
Since the turn of the 21st century, ground-breaking advancements in technology have led to the emergence of a completely new ‘species’ of electronic musical instrument. These instruments, which are heavily driven or dependant on technology, have been accompanied by an interdisciplinary movement in the field of musical instrument research and design, interconnecting music-making to disciplines including, but not limited to, industrial design, interaction design, user experience (UX) design, computer sc...
Adoption factors of health monitoring systems for smart healthcare: a systematic review
Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (null; 2019-04-13)
Although there have been several studies that focus on technical aspects of health monitoring systems, adoption of these systems remains largely unknown. A limited number of researches has explored the factors influencing users’ adoption of these systems that provide successful system implementation. In this study, we reviewed articles addresses the adoption of health monitoring systems. We extract criteria that influence the adoption decision that has been made at some stage to use health monitoring system...

The evolution of a new technology depends upon a good theoretical basis for developing the technology, as well as upon its experimental validation. In order to provide for this experimentation, we have investigated the creation of a software testbed and the feasibility of using the same testbed for experimenting with a broad set of technologies. The testbed is a set of programs, data, and supporting documentation that allows researchers to test their new technology on a standard software platform. An import...
Coordination of nanometrology in Europe (CO-NANOMET)
Turan, Raşit(2010-12-31)
Nanotechnology has the ability to become the most promising technology advance for the 21st Century. It offers a huge potential of applications and economic benefits, which may contribute to the European economy. Scientifically and economically, nano-metrology is an indispensible part for nanotechnology which must develop hand in hand with the developments of nano-science and –technology. The programme of work set out in this project will address the need within Europe to develop the required measurement fr...
Assessing Information Technology Use in Organizations: Developing a Framework
Sezgin, Emre; Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (2011-10-07)
Increasing use of current and developing information technologies (IT) within business and production processes is a required transformation to survive in the market. However. IT should be well-managed to be adapted by an organization as a whole. This study proposes a new model for the assessment of IT use in organizations. The aim is to assist decision making processes in information technology management through exploring strength and weaknesses of organization on IT tools and applications. The model has ...
