Working life has been an inevitable piece of human history since ancient times. Following Industrial Revolution, industries searched for more resources for their productions and more time to work in order to produce. At the end, shift work systems were developed for continous production and many people around the world have been working in this system since then. However, human body is designed to live in cooperation with circadian rhythm and it has many effects over the body once the rhythm is diminished. Beverage industry is also one of those industries that has to produce continuously. This study aims to observe possible impacts of shift working on workers of a beverage factory based on their age, marital status, work experience and shift work experience. To achieve the aim of this research, the Survey of Shiftworkers (SOS) was used. This survey, shared with employees via Google Forms, was completed by 118 people and the survey results were evaluated with SPSS 22.0 program. The survey results showed that age, marital status and duration of shift work are the dominant determinants, especially on health and social-familial effects of shift work.

Crisis Management and Terrorism Sutalan, Zeynep (2011-05-27) Today it seems that we are living in an age of crises rather than war. Changes in the security paradigm with the end of Cold War, as well as globalization, have diminished the likelihood of conventional wars.

KNOWLEDGE IN THE HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF COMING-TO-BE AND PASSING-AWAY Yıldırım, Erdoğan (2018-06-01) Since the last decades of the 20th century the meaning and content of knowledge has dramatically changed. This necessitates adopting a historical perspective in approaching the questions of knowledge. But so far all the efforts of putting knowledge in a historical perspective since Hegel's historization of Spirit either suffer from the limitations of the presupposition of the One (Spirit or Being) or fail to ground the historicity of knowledge on the history of coming-to-be and passing-away. Moving from Hei...
Spatial impacts of globalization Işık, Banu Işıl; Kayasü, Serap; Department of City and Regional Planning (2010) Today, the world is in a continuous process of change, which is conceptualized as globalization.

Particularly following the 1970s, with the changes in the international economic system, the world has started to transform into a gl...

Futurist thinking in urbanism: a retrospective & prospective view in the global context of transforming socio-economic structures Efeoğlu, Hulusi Eren; Çalışkan, Olgu; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2018) The idea of future has always emerged as a major concept for humanity. Each and every period of the civilizations, there has been always a motivation for people to manifest their ideal futures. In the context of urbanism, the intellectual capacity of utopian thinking has influenced most of the discussions on urbanism during the history. In this regard, destructive impacts of industrial revolutions have become the triggering forces to construct the ideal image of the future city. When the first industrial re...
