Validation of methods time measurement data
Bahçıvancılar, Uğur; Çilingir, Canan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2012)
This thesis shows the results of an experiment in order to test the validity of Methods Time Measurement (MTM) data. MTM, developed in 1948, is one of the most commonly used Predetermined Motion Time Systems to calculate standard time for a task. However, there is limited research on the validity of the MTM data in the literature. Today’s technology provides new computerized tools to perform time studies. One of such tools is Real Time Method Study (RTMS). RTMS is a computerized method study tool being deve...
Aggregate Demand, Employment and Equilibrium with Marginal Productivity: Keynesian Adjustment in the Craft Economy
Nell, Edward J. (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6)
Most Post-Keynesians have approached the idea that marginal productivity accounted for the demand for labor with scepticism. None of them have thought that supply and demand for labor determined employment and real wages. All agree that Keynes' approach recast the argument in money rather than real terms. But if the market operates with money wages, how exactly does the real wage adjust to the marginal product? If the real wage adjusts in the labor market, why is full employment not established? When there ...
Labor market institutions and industrial performance: an evolutionary study
Kilicaslan, Yilmaz; Taymaz, Erol (2008-08-01)
This study investigates the impact of labor market institutions on industrial performance from a Schumpeterian perspective. We suggest that labor market institutions play a very important role in the process of creative destruction, because they may create an environment that encourages and enforces innovation, and help to reallocate resources, most importantly labor, through swift elimination of weak performers. We specifically look at the effects of the quantity of labor market regulations and inter-indus...
Economic growth and environment nexus: environmental Kuznets curve
Özokcu, Selin; Yücel, İsmail; Yılmaz, Ayşen; Department of Earth System Science (2015)
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the most important Green House Gases (GHGs) for contributing to global climate change. Human influence on earth through economic development is clearly emitting immense amount of CO2 emissions. Hence, examining the relationship between CO2 emissions and economic growth is crucial. In this study, the relationship between income and CO2 emissions in the context of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (hereafter EKC), which posits the existence of an inverted U-shape relationship betw...
Biotechnological modification of steroidal structures
Erkılıç, Umut; Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı; Department of Biotechnology (2008)
Steroids are important biological regulators existing in hormones which are used to control metabolism of the body. There are widespread applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Drugs of steroid nature - anti-inflammatory and antiallergic corticosteroids, diuretics, anabolics, androgens, gestagens, contraceptives, antitumor medications, etc. - are now widely used in human and veterinary medicine. Nowadays, biotechnological modifications of steroids are preferred over chemical modifications as a green ch...
