In the last years of the 19th century, architects who were under the influence of the nationalist ideas that developed in the last years of the 19th century and were strengthened with the declaration of the constitutional monarchy, led to the emergence of the First National Architectural Period as a reaction. They also considered this period as an eclectic architectural style in which they reinterpreted the facade, plan and ornamental elements of Ottoman and Seljuk architecture with Western construction techniques. In this architectural process, many public buildings, hotels, bank buildings, ministry buildings, educational buildings and residences were built. Educational buildings are an important group among the new types of buildings constructed in Konya, which has maintained its political and cultural importance throughout history. In this study, the facade and spatial quality analyses of the Sanayi Mektebi, Male Teachers' High School (Dârü-l Muallimin), Girl Teachers' School (Dârü-l Muallimat) and Gazi Mustafa Kemal, Hakimiyet-i Milliye and İsmet Paşa Primary Schools, which are among the educational buildings built during the First National Architectural Period and which contributed to the identity of the city of Konya, were examined. The authenticity and conservation values of the selected educational buildings were determined and compared with each other. According to the results obtained from the facade and spatial analyses of these samples; authenticity values are determined depending on the rate of having the characteristics of the period and conservation criteria. The fact that no previous study has been carried out in this period and group of buildings using the method defined increases the originality value of the subject. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Economists believe that exports of high-tech industries by causing knowledge spillover, increasing competitiveness of firms in foreign markets, increasing the productivity of factors of production and rely on skilled labor, reducing risk and stabilizing export revenues, and so on, high-tech industries can be lead to rapid economic growth in all economic sectors. Several studies have stated that these effects occur only in developed countries. In this paper, the relationship between high-tech industry exports and GDP growth for 30 developing and 30 developed countries over the period of 2007–2020 by applying (Kónya, Economic Modelling, 23(6), 978-992, 2006) and (Dumitrescu and Hurlin, Economic Modelling, 29(4), 1450-1460, 2012) bootstrapping panel causality approaches has been examined and compared. Results of panel causality tests indicate that in the selected developing and developed countries, there is no significant effect of high technology export on GDP growth and there is only one-way causality from GDP growth to high technology export. In addition, the causality test at the level of countries shows that in some developing and developed countries, there is a positive causality from high technology export to GDP growth, although the number of these countries is limited in both groups.

Excavated in the Sille region of Konya (Turkey) province, Sille stone (SS) is a building material used during the Roman, Seljuk, and Ottoman periods. The presence of SS in cultural assets is due to its robustness, nevertheless different environmental factors have caused the deterioration of SS based structures. Among the restoration strategies developed in order to prevent the destruction of cultural heritage, repairing mortars are the most common. These mortars can either mechanically reinforce the building or create a barrier against humidity or pollution that cause destruction. Furthermore, according to the Venice charter, mortar properties like color, freeze/thaw, etc. must match with those of the structure. In this study, for the first time composite mortar has been prepared from Sille stone powder (SSP) with polymer (epoxy, phenolic, polyurethane, and polyester) matrix. The mechanical and hydrophilic properties of the composite mortar prepared with different compositions and grain size distributions were investigated. The most suitable mortar is prepared with 30 wt.% polyester matrix and 70 wt.% SSP with grain size between 63–150 μm. The composite color fits well with the SS while its compression strength is more than 62% higher than the original SS. Moreover, the contact angle of the composite mortar is 62.15o which is higher than the 24.53o of the SS showing an increase in hydrophobicity of the structure after restoration. For this reason, polyester matrix mortar is compatible with SS-based cultural heritage and contributes to its preservation over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mevlevi cuisine, which carries the traces of history in Konya in Turkey, is an ethnic type of cuisine that is identified with that region. It is known that with the opening of more restaurants in the concept of ethnic cuisine, there will be a positive interaction in the region in terms of gastronomic tourism. Purpose of the research: To evaluate the meals and drinks of ethnic cuisine by the guests who prefer ethnic restaurants, using the menu analysis method. Case study, one of the qualitative research models, was used in the research. The research sample consists of Somatçı Fihi Ma Fih restaurant, which tries to keep an ethnic culinary culture alive with the concept of Mevlevi cuisine in Turkey's Konya province and volunteered to participate in the research. The data collection phase of the research was carried out in the light of the interview, document review and information obtained with both the manager and the chef of this restaurant, which constitutes the sample of the research. As a result of the study, a total of 14 menu items selected from the menu were subjected to menu engineering analysis. After this analysis, a total of 6 products were included in the stars group, 4 products in the problem group, 3 products in the horses group and 1 product in the puzzles group. As a result of the research, it was suggested that the Mevlevi cuisine dishes, which are not liked by the guests who prefer ethnic dishes, should be removed from the menu and replaced with the ones with stronger taste.

This study aims to assess the amount of biogas and value of energy produced from animal manure in Konya province. Therefore, the potential of biogas was calculated by considering the number of cattle, broilers, and laying hens. It was calculated that a total of 5.63 million tonnes of animal manure comprising 5.25 million tonnes of cattle manure, 1.07 thousand tonnes of broiler manure, and 382.38 thousand tonnes of laying hen manure could be taken from these animals in the province. 105.67 Mm³ biogas can be produced from the available amount of this manure. It was calculated that electric energy of approximately 266.53 GWhel can be produced from this biogas. Furthermore, greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction was calculated to show the environmental benefits of biogas production from animal manure. Upon benefiting from the total of the calculated biogas potential, it was determined that CO2 emission reduction ranging from 1.04–1.57 million tonnes could be provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Konya urban identity on the urban landscape design of Konya city through eye tracking technique (method) through individuals. Within the scope of the research, first of all, a literature review on the subject was made. Afterwards, urban landscape areas with dense urban identity components determined in the light of literature resources were visited and photographs were obtained from these areas. Interviews were held with experts in the field of Konya urban identity, and as a result of these interviews, the photographs to be used in eye tracking analysis were determined. The photographs were uploaded to the eye tracking program and heat maps of the eye movements of the volunteer participants were created using the eye tracking device, and the numerical data (fixation numbers and fixation times) of the eye tracking analysis were reached. In addition, questionnaires were applied to the participants after the eye tracking analysis. As a result of the research, it was revealed that heat maps and eye tracking numerical data supported the questionnaires. Based on this, the conclusion that Konya's urban identity has an effect on Konya's urban landscape design was reached through the people who participated in the study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As part of this research, the Ladik-Sarayönü area of Konya province's air quality has been assessed utilizing an AI (Artificial Intelligence) method. A total of 103 field samples were analyzed experimentally. Data from experiments was used to inform the design of a multi-layer perceptron feed-forward back-propagation artificial neural network model. The Bayesian method has been employed as the training procedure in an artificial neural network model with 15 neurons in its hidden layer. One hundred experimental data points were used to develop a network model that predicts mercury values of the geoaccumulation index value in the output layer based on the following input variables: mercury, distance to the pollution source, source of pollution, characteristics of the sampled place and the primary factor that controls moving parameters. The majority (90%) of the data is used for the model's training process, while the remaining (10%) is used for validation. By comparing the model's anticipated outcomes with experimental data, an artificial neural network was used to evaluate the model's prediction performance. To forecast mercury values of the geoaccumulation index, the created artificial neural network had an error rate of − 4.04 to 3.98% (with an average of − 0.58%). The MSE for the network model is 2.1 × 10−1, and the R value is 0.9533. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, infections that may emerge from viruses and phytoplasmas were investigated in carrot cultivation fields in the Ankara and Konya provinces, which are located in the Central Anatolia Region of Turkey and have the largest agricultural areas of the country. A total of 272 symptomatic and asymptomatic carrot plants, together with their root and leaf parts, were collected from 61 fields by performing periodic field studies during the plant vegetation periods between 2018–2019. Samples were tested against carrot virus Y (CarVY), carrot red leaf virus (CtRLV), carrot red leaf virus-associated RNA (CtRLVaRNA), carrot mottle virus (CMoV), carrot torradovirus 1 (CaTV), carrot yellow leaf virus (CYLV), carrot thin leaf virus (CTLV) and cucumber mosaic virus (CMV) agents by Reverse Transcriptase-PCR (RT-PCR). To determine phytoplasmas, samples were tested using universal primers by nested PCR. Molecular tests conducted to investigate the aforementioned viruses produced negative results, but phytoplasma infections were widely found. 16SrVI-A "Candidatus Phytoplasma trifolii" and 16SrI-B "Aster yellows" subgroups were detected by in vitro/in silico RFLP and sequencing analyses. Disease incidence caused by both phytoplasma groups was 39.34%. This study determined for the first time that 16SrVI and 16SrI groups cause severe infections in the carrot fields of Turkey.

Traditional earthen architecture is a process through which local building masters have used specific techniques, know-how, and skills encapsulating cultural values that have survived in local building traditions. The knowledge and practices of building masters and local communities that have continued through the building tradition in rural settlements constitute a significant aspect of intangible cultural heritage. Konya's earthen building culture is so specific that it embodies the practices, knowledge, and know-how of local building masters on adobe construction techniques and, the practices of maintenance, renewal, repair, and ornamentation of traditional buildings carried out by local peasant women. This study surveys the intangible values of Konya's earthen-building culture to develop an integrated approach to conservation. The data obtained for this paper from the architectural surveys of traditional buildings, on-site observations, photographic documentation, and in-depth interviews carried out with building masters, local people, and local authorities were gathered in July 2017 and September 2018 during fieldwork in Çavuş and Değirmenaltı Villages in Hüyük, Sarayönü and Kadınhanı.

This study presents archaeometric analyses of glazed tiles produced with the cut-mosaic technique to reveal information about the Anatolian Seljuk period's architecture and ceramic technology. The Persian Seljuk artists also used the same technique. For this purpose, physical, chemical, thermal, mineralogical, microstructural, and molecular analyses were carried out on the tiles from the Seljuk period unearthed in the Kılıçarslan Square excavation in Konya, the capital of the Anatolian Seljuk State from the twelfth-century to the beginning of the fourteenth-century. SEM, XRD, and Heat Microscopy analyses showed that the Seljuk period tiles were not fired at high temperatures like today's tiles and were probably fired at temperatures below 1100 °C. WD-XRF analyses revealed that the glazes are classified into two categories, one being alkali varying the content of Na2O + K2O between 13 and 16 wt% (PbO between 0.5 and 2 wt%) and the other being lead-alkali type in which PbO content varies between 13 and 15 wt% and alkali content 10–14 wt%. The cobalt content in the blue color is around 0.2 wt%, and copper content in the turquoise-colored samples varies between 2.9 and 4.4 wt% depending on the lightness and darkness of the color (higher amount for tile 1 and tile 3, which are darker than the others). The brown color is obtained by the presence of MnO (3.3 wt%). Raman analysis showed that the difference in sintering temperature caused the color tone difference in Seljuk period tiles, and glazes were formed in the range of 800–1000 °C depending on the Ip values.
