Öğe Afet Yönetiminde Etik Sorunlar(2015) Kaptan, KubilayDepremle ilgili tahminler insanların farklı algılara sahip olduğu gelişmekte olan ülkelerde toplumun dikkatinin yanı sıra medyanın da dikkatini çekmiş durumdadır. Çoğu zaman, toplumda halk efsaneleri bilimsel gerçeklerin yerini alabilmektedir ve bu durum doğal afetler hakkında söylentilere yol açmaktadır. Bu makale doğal afetler ile ilgili söylentiler ve özellikle deprem durumunda toplum, medya ve hükümetin tepkisi hakkında söylentilere değinecektir. Bu araştırma sözde uzmanlardan kaynaklanan söylentiler yerine bilim insanlarının paniği önlemek için üstlenmeleri gereken etik sorumluluğa dikkat çekmektedir. Bu makale, Türkiye'de, Van Gölündeki ani yükselme, Samsun İlinde meydana gelen ani sel ve Van'da gerçekleşen deprem (M 6.7, 23 Ekim 2011) ile ilgili söylentileri gösterip, Bilim İnsanlarının bu söylentileri önlemek için ortaya koyduğu çabaları özetleyecektirÖğe Bilim ve Sanatın Birbirini Tamamlaması(Anadolu Üniversitesi, 2017) Kaptan, KubilayBu makale, sanatta ve bilimde örneklemeyi incelemektedir. Hem bilimsel deneyler hem de sanat eserleri, sahip oldukları özelliklerinden bazılarını vurgulamakta, görüntülemekte veya aktarmaktadır. Böylece bu özelliklere dikkat çekerek eserlerin incelenmesi ve yansıtılması için hazır hale getirirler. Michelson-Morley deneyi, ışık hızının sabitliğini örnekler. Pollock, boya viskozitesini örneklendirir. Yine de, bilim, “gerçeklere uymak” için; sanat ise, “kayıtsız kalmak” için yapılır denir. Bu makalede aksi savunulmaktadır. Bilim, sanat gibi genellikle kurgu yoluyla anlayışı ilerletmek için gerçeği küçümser. Bu makale kapsamında dikkate alınan testler; bilim kurguları, edebi ve resimsel kurgular ve estetik düşünce deneyleridir.Öğe Education in Disaster Management: What Do We Offer and What Do We Need? Proposing a New Global Program(Cambridge Univ Press, 2016) Khorram-Manesh, Amir; Lupesco, Olivera; Friedl, Tom; Arnim, Gotz; Kaptan, Kubilay; Djalali, Ahmadreza R.; Foletti, MarcoObjective: Although there is a significant willingness to respond to disasters, a review of post-event reports following incidents shows troubling repeated patterns with poorly integrated response activities and response managers inadequately trained for the requirements of disasters. This calls for a new overall approach in disaster management. Methods: An in-depth review of the education and training opportunities available to responders and disaster managers has been undertaken, as well as an extensive review of the educational competencies and their parent domains identified by subject matter experts as necessary for competent performance. Results: Seven domains of competency and competencies that should be mastered by disaster mangers were identified. This set of domains and individual competencies was utilized to define a new and evolving curriculum. In order to evaluate and assess the mastery of each competency, objectives were more widely defined as activities under specific topics, as the measurable elements of the curriculum, for each managerial level. Conclusions: This program enables interagency cooperation and collaboration and could be used to increase and improve decision-makers' understanding of disaster managers' capabilities; at the strategic/tactical level to promote the knowledge and capability of the disaster managers themselves; and as continuing education or further career development for disaster managers at the operational level.Öğe Effectiveness of externally bonded FRP systems in strengthening of RC structures in seismic areas(Ice Publishing, 2017) Kaptan, KubilayThis study concerns the use of externally bonded fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials in the restoration of existing buildings. The first part of the paper reports on the results of an experimental programme developed by the author and aimed at evaluating the cyclic response of previously damaged reinforced-concrete (RC) specimens repaired using carbon-FRP reinforcements. The test results showed that the adopted reinforcing systems were capable of giving repaired specimens a significant increase in strength and deformation capacity as compared with undamaged specimens tested without external reinforcement (control specimens). A remarkable degradation of stiffness was observed in the repaired specimens. In order to evaluate the influence of the presence of damaged columns, inelastic dynamic analysis of spatial structures was performed. The numerical results obtained indicate better seismic performance of structures containing repaired elements when compared with corresponding structures comprising undamaged members.Öğe Engineering Models of Masonry by Joint Repairing Techniques(Akademik Platform, 2016) Kaptan, KubilayWhen repointing historic masonry, it is the quality of the bond between mortar and stones that decides on the lifecycle of the structure. Once the composite system or the mortar start cracking, moisture can penetrate into the masonry and destroy the system. What mortar to use for what kind of masonry is normally an empirical decision. But in how far the mortar eventually selected is really suited for the purpose in question will not turn out until several years later. It is with this knowledge in mind that a simple engineering model has been developed, which is easy to use and which is to permit the likelihood of cracks to be assessed quantitatively. The model is based on calculations made for stresses occurring on the surface of the masonry and only requires a few material parameters. A combined, complex research model is being developed, which is to provide for exact structural analysis. For this model, the temperature and moisture transport is calculated with the aid of an FDM program. The temperature and moisture fields thus determined are then transferred to an FEM program which uses the material models of Rots (1997), Lourenço (1996) and Van Zijl (2000) for stress and deformation calculation.Öğe Ethical Issues in Disaster Management(Artvin Çoruh Üniversitesi, 2015) Kaptan, KubilayThe predictions related to earthquakes have drawn the attention of society as well as media in the developing countries where the ‘common’ people have different perceptions. Most often, popular myths take over scientific facts among the public, and this can lead to rumors about natural hazards. This article will mention rumors related to natural disasters, and particularly the rumors regarding the response of society, media and government when earthquakes happen. This research emphasizes the ethical responsibility needed to be undertaken by scientists to avoid panic instead of the rumors by pseudo-experts. This article ummarizes the efforts provided by the scientists to prevent the recent rumors about a sudden water rise in Lake Van, the flash flood occurred in the Samsun Province and the earthquake happened (M 6.7, October 23, 2011) in the Van Province in TurkeyÖğe INTEGRATION OF SCIENCE AND ART(Anadolu Univ, 2017) Kaptan, KubilayThe aim of this study is to explore exemplification in science and art. Both research studies and works or art emphasize, exhibit, or express some of their unique characteristics. They therefore attract attention on them so that they would be accessible for evaluation and reflection. The Michelson-Morley test illustrates the consistency of the velocity of light. Pollock's illustrates the viscosity of paint. Nevertheless, it is told that science is done to obey the facts but art to be indifferent to them. This study claims the otherwise. Science, like artwork, frequently scorns reality to enhance comprehension via fiction. In this study, the tests considered include scientific fictions; fictional and pictorial fictions, as well as thought experiments in aesthetics.
