The Annals of Operations Research invited submissions of papers to a special volume on Advances of OR in Commodities and Financial Modelling, on the occasion of the 55th Meeting of EWGCFM (EWGCFM 2015; http://ewgcfm2015.iam.metu.edu.tr/index.html), which was organized by the Institute of Applied Mathematics (IAM; http://iam.metu.edu.tr/) of Middle East Technical University, EURO Working Group “Commodities and Financial Modelling” (EWGCFM; http://www.ewgfm.eu/), and The Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO; http://www.euro-online.org/). This conference took place on the campus of METU (http://www.metu.edu.tr/) in Ankara, Turkey, during May 14–16, 2015. The participants of EWGCFM 2015 as well as other researchers in the area were welcomed to submit their recent research achievements.

Space plasma effects on Earth-space and satellite-to-satellite communications: Working Group 4 overview
Radicella, SM; Tulunay, E (2004-01-01)
This paper summarizes the the activities carried out by Working Group 4 of COST 271 Action. The structure of this Working Group included four Working packages that were dealing with different aspects of the same overall problem related to space plasma variability and irregularities effects on advanced satellite systems. General comments about the most relevant achievements and possible future lines of research are given.
Industry specific information content of financial ratios and financial distress modeling
Sayarı, Naz; Oran, Adil; Muğan, Fatma Naciye Can; Department of Business Administration (2013)
The aim of this study is to investigate uncertainty levels of industries and explore those financial ratios that have the highest information content in determining the set of industry characteristics and use the most informative ratios selected in developing industry specific financial distress models. First, we employ factor analysis to determine the set of ratios that are most informative in specified industries. Second, we use entropy method as a Multiple Attribute Decision Making Model, to measure the ...
A discussion of the concepts of validity and reliability in qualitative and quantitative Research
Sadık, Olgun (2019-06-01)
: The purpose of this paper is discussing the main issues in conceptualizing reliability and validity between qualitative and quantitative research approaches. The researcher examined the arguments about validity and reliability in inquiry methodology and identified three main debates primarily in qualitative research. The first one was about qualitative inquirers’ limited emphasis on the data collection process to increase the robustness of their research efforts. Most of the strategies in qualitative rese...

Deindustrialization, decline and restructuring in socio-spatial context: a multi-layer exploratory study on a mono-centric local economy, Zonguldak case
Işın, Şenay; Pınarcıoğlu, Mehmet Melih; Department of City and Regional Planning (2009)
This thesis investigates in deindustrialization process, its decline impacts and restructuring process in socio-spatial context. Both deindustrialization and restructuring processes are evaluated regarding a muti-layer conceptualization of the problem. Zonguldak Case is chosen to investigate in the deindustrialization process taken place in the mono-centric local economy dependent on coal mining, the decline impacts of this process on the whole urban set-up including labour households, the city, other econo...
