We see that many professions are reshaped today, the value of new professions directly related to information and technology is increasing day by day, and the professions of the future are shaped almost in the "cloud" in this context.
The definitions we hear popularly today, such as the German-origin Industry 4.0 and Japan-based Society 5.0 approaches, Education 4.0, Internet 4.0 and Web 5.0 are new paradigms and expansions that have emerged in this context. These new concepts are new values ​​that need to be known globally. These new values ​​create new expectations and new markets. Undoubtedly, it is teachers who will best explain the scope, meaning and value of these populist concepts expressed in digital transformation.
This book has been prepared in order to explain the new paradigms that are taking shape in the “cloud”, their infrastructure and basic dynamics especially to teacher candidates. Apart from teacher candidates, we think that this study will be a useful educational resource for those who want to look at the field of "Information Technologies" as a whole.

Bülent Akbaş, Onur Şeker, Hüseyin Türk In recent years, two new regulations regarding the design of steel structures, connections and structural elements have entered into force in our country: 1) Regulation on Design, Calculation and Construction Principles of Steel Structures - ÇYTHYEY, (2016); 2) Turkey Building Earthquake Code, TBDY : Chapter 9 – Special Rules for the Design of Steel Building Structural Systems Under the Impact of Earthquakes (2019). Among these regulations, ÇYTHYEY proposes a force-based evaluation and two design approaches (Design with Load and Strength Factors and Design with Safety Factors) in the design of steel structural elements and combinations. TBDY: In Chapter 9, there are principles of earthquake resistant steel structure design, in which significant changes were made after the 17 January 1994 Northridge earthquake.
With the entry into force of these regulations, the need for two types of resources regarding steel structure design has increased in our country: a) Examples of how the principles and design criteria in the regulations emerged and how they will be applied; b) Design tables and charts to assist engineers in practice. This handbook has been prepared to meet the second type of resource need. These design tables and charts, similarly prepared by the American Institute of Steel Construction, have been prepared in this handbook as design tables for European profiles that are widely used in our country.
The design tables in this handbook have been prepared for different steel grades in accordance with the Design with Load and Strength Factors (YDKT) approach, and the sections are organized as follows:
cross-sectional features,
Ductility and compactness requirements,
Design of elements under bending and shear effect,
Design of elements under axial compression and tension,
Design of elements in compound bending effect.
It is thought that the tables in the book can be easily used by civil engineers in the design of steel structural elements, in the undergraduate and graduate level Steel Structures courses in the Civil Engineering and Architecture Departments, in project and homework studies.
In this first volume of the handbook, a limited number of tables of I-profiles have been created. In the second volume, which is being prepared, it is planned to prepare design tables for different profiles and cross-sections.

Ferhan Sami Atalay Environmental pollution occurs as a result of uncontrolled discharge of waste materials, which are released as a result of human activities and which are not evaluated, to the receiving environment such as air, water and soil, and causes significant changes in the ecological balance of nature. The resulting global environmental problems such as climate change, desertification, loss of biodiversity, deforestation, destruction of the ozone layer endanger the sustainability of the environment, and pose significant threats to the health, survival, food and water resources of humans and other living species.
Maintaining a healthy life is only possible with a healthy environment. For a healthy environment, the natural balance, that is, the protection of the ecosystem, is only possible with the control of environmental pollution.
This book has been prepared in order to give the necessary processes and design principles for the treatment of wastes that cause air, water and soil pollution as a result of production and consumption activities, and solutions of problems and design examples are given for a better understanding of treatment/disposal process designs.
In the first part of the book, environmental problems are briefly introduced; In the second part, as air pollution control processes, the designs of cyclones, wet scrubbers, bag filters and electrostatic filters in the retention of solid particles, physical processes such as filled absorber, adsorption, membrane in the treatment of dangerous substances in flue gases and the processes involving reactions are examined, sulfur dioxide; Examples of the design of control processes for gases that cause important environmental problems such as nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide are given.
In the third chapter, water pollution and control processes are discussed and the physical; chemical and biological treatment processes were investigated. In this section, exemplary designs have been made by adsorption, air stripping and water purification with ion exchangers; in chemical treatment processes, precipitation, electrochemical treatment, wet air oxidation, advanced oxidation processes are examined and sample problems are given.
The processes applied in the biological treatment of wastewater are given and the design of the activated sludge treatment system is made.
In the fourth chapter, which deals with soil pollution, physical bioremediation and chemical treatment processes are examined and sample problems are included.
In the last part of the book, solid wastes and their management are examined and re-evaluation of solid wastes; their regular storage; composting; biogas production; burning (incineration); Information about pyrolysis and gasification processes are presented and sample designs are given.
In conclusion, this book has been prepared as a useful resource for undergraduate and graduate students and engineers interested in environmental pollution control.

Can Çalıcı, Cihat Yaşaroğlu, Erkin Sarı, Ferhat Arı, Gülten Ünal, Hilal Peker, Hüccet Vural, M. Fatih Bükün, Mert Aytaç, Musa Bozkurt, Ömer Çamur, Sebur Kapu, Üzeyir Kement Although studies have been carried out for more than a century in the field of "Environmental Psychology", which examines the mutual relationship between man and his natural and built environment, it has been about 60 years that the field emerged as a discipline. While we sometimes exhibit environmentally friendly behaviors in our interaction with the environment, we sometimes exhibit behaviors that harm the environment. In an area where human behavior is so important, we can say that Environmental Psychology is one of the most important disciplines we will apply to understand the behavior of individuals regarding the environment.
In human-environment interaction, we can sometimes see the damage we do to the environment without being a subject matter expert. For example, the closure of people in their homes at the beginning of the Pandemic period, which has made its impact felt all over the world as in our country since 2019, almost caused the revival of nature. We saw flowers bloom on the streets, in the streets, in places with heavy human circulation before. However, with the removal of the restriction, the signs of our going out into nature began to be visible again. We have now added masks and gloves to the objects that we used to throw on the ground (!) before. Formerly “Please do not throw garbage!” next to the warnings “Please do not throw masks!” It looks like the warnings will be added as well. These and similar events, which most of us have witnessed or somehow learned from the press, give clues about the human-nature relationship and also reveal the importance of environmental behavior.
This work named Introduction to Environmental Psychology; It will be an important resource for researchers doing postgraduate research, students taking environmental courses at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and all curious readers and researchers who care about the "environment", which is vital for human beings. We also consider this work as a start and hope that it will be instrumental in other studies that will contribute to the field.

Ejder Ayçin "Multi-Criteria Decision Making" methods, which support decision makers at all levels in decision-making processes to make more effective and correct decisions in solving the problems encountered, are discussed in detail in this book.
In the second edition of the book; 20 different methods, which are widely used in the literature, are included with their theoretical explanation and current application examples. In the solution of sample applications, package programs such as Super Decisions, M-MACBETH, VISUAL PROMETHEE, QM for Windows, EMS and MS Excel were used. By explaining 28 different sample applications, each step of the solution is supported with screenshots, it is aimed to understand the methods in the best way by the reader.
It is thought that the book will be an important resource especially for researchers studying at graduate and doctorate level, academics working in the field of quantitative decision making, and all decision makers who use scientific methods in decision-making processes.

Gülay Demir, Ahmet Turan Özyalçın, Hüdaverdi Bircan In order to produce an effective and rational solution to decision-making problems, the purpose of the task should be clearly formulated, a set of criteria should be defined, and the selected criteria should be weighted with the most appropriate method. It should be analyzed with scientific-based multi-criteria decision-making methods that allow researchers to choose the most effective and most appropriate solution among the available alternatives.
This book has several features. First, it will help researchers or decision makers find the necessary methods for the problems they need to analyze, by categorizing the methods as those that weight criteria and those that rank alternatives. Secondly, those who want to gain in-depth information about a particular method can access the "general information" section of each method. Third, a total of 27 methods used for weighting and ranking were solved with the developed MCDM software. It is thought that this will have two great benefits for the reader. By combining information and theoretical content, readers can easily see how the method works in practice through the example. They can also facilitate the decision-making processes they have to solve by seeing how the method can be used in practice. Fourth, they can benefit from the answers of the exercises solved by signing up on the website established as an online platform, and they can reach the solution of any decision problem within seconds by entering a new problem and using 27 methods defined in the system.

Examined methods: AHP, ANP, DEMATEL, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, TOPSIS, VIKOR, MOORA, ENTROPI, COPRAS, SWARA, WASPAS, SMAA, GRA, MABAC, ORESTE, TODIM, ARAS, EDAS, CODAS, MACBETH. In the book, the theoretical part of these methods, which are widely used in MLKV, are explained in detail and their applications with MS Excel solutions for real problems are given. Applications can be easily accessed from the publisher's website. Although there are free/paid software for some MLKV methods, it is beneficial for the readers to examine the applications with MS Excel solutions after absorbing the theoretical part. Applications with MS Excel solutions, which are presented with the book, can be developed specifically for the problem, for applications to be made with methods that do not currently have existing software. For methods with software, researchers/managers who have completed this process can easily interpret and analyze the results of the software.

“Multi-Criteria Decision Making Methods: MS Excel® Solutions for Applications I consider one of the most comprehensive books ever published in this field. There are 22 chapters in the book, which are covered in a wide range from the most known and used methods to many new methods developed in recent years and prepared by experts in the subject. The presence of solved problems prepared on current issues in each chapter adds a special value to the book. I am really pleased that such a qualified study has been prepared in the Turkish language of science.

“Decision making is a process of selection and qualification that people face at every moment. There is a serious need for a systematic analytical flow, depending on the size of the decision under consideration. In addition, considering the decision problem together with the criteria in the ecosystem and evaluating it in terms of these criteria is of great importance in terms of the accuracy and validity of the decision. Within the scope of this book; The systematic handling of the decision process, the determination of the most appropriate method and its evaluation with a systematic analytical flow have been successfully handled with real-life applications. In particular, analytical decision-making approaches are explained in a detailed and understandable way. I think that the book will be an important reference source for every evaluator who will take part in the decision process, and it will be a masterpiece for students who want to examine this process.”

These techniques need to be reinforced and applied. The most suitable language for understanding programming logic is C programming language. Today, C language comes to the fore in the construction of almost all operating systems, writing the modules of operating systems and almost everywhere where speed is required.
There are many books on the shelves of many publishing houses in the world that describe algorithms and programming in C language. However, there are not enough examples of applications in any of them. In this book, 365 examples with solutions are given to reinforce the basic programming logic of people who are starting to write programs. These examples start from the basics and work their way up to advanced topics. In addition, in the last part of the book, sorting and search algorithms that are frequently used in data structures are included. With this feature, the book also serves as a basis for the data structures course. Some of the examples used have been compiled from certain websites and books and are indicated in the references section.

Timur Karaçay Thanks to the technological developments in computer hardware, it has been calculated that the life expectancy of a newly emerging language is 10 years on average. All languages ​​make updates and adjustments parallel to the development of hardware and computer science. The language that does not do this job completes its average life span and withdraws from the scene.
Java emerged in the 1995's and has always kept its flagship place. Because Java brought great innovations to computer science. The last version of Java at the time of writing this book was Java 9. Java 9 differs from previous versions; Deep Java 9 describes these differences and innovations.
All versions of Java are backwards compatible up to Java 9. By breaking this rule, Java 9 also brought innovations that are considered revolutionary in the language.
Java 9 continues to support previous versions. This means that Java can be used as is the JCF:Java Collections Framework, which has revolutionized computer science.
Java, which has not lost its place in the flagship since its emergence, will continue to be a robust and reliable language preferred by large enterprises from now on.
This book describes the innovations brought by Java up to version 9. These topics, which are not given much importance in the Introduction to Java lessons, are the hand tools of the professional programmer.
Deep Java 9 is for those with an introductory knowledge of Java. For the non-Java reader, we recommend reading a good java book before starting this one.

Ferhan Sami Atalay The reactor, the apparatus in which the reactions take place, provides the required volume or the required amount of catalyst for the reaction. Reactors should also be equipped to ensure proper temperature and concentration distribution. For this reason, the selection and design of the reactor should be made considering the ideal conditions and the economic, safe and environmentally friendly operation of the plant.
reactor design; It is obtained from simultaneous solutions of equations (mostly differential equations) obtained by considering mass and energy balances, chemical kinetic (reaction rate expression, etc.) information together.
Many accidents in industry result from poor design and operation of the chemical reactor. Therefore, a reactor should be designed under realistic conditions. In the design, not only the reactor dimensions and the design results such as the number of pipes should be considered, but also the transfer of heat energies to be taken / given in the reactor, the selection and design of the mixer in liquid reactors, the mechanical design of the reactor, safety measures and process control systems should also be designed. Since reactor safety and controllability problems will arise especially in exothermic and irreversible reactions, both the control systems and the discharge systems of the reactor should be designed very well in this type of reactors.
In the book; Basic information about mechanical design, control and safety systems in reactors is presented and industrially used batch reactor, continuously fed stirred tank reactor, piston flow fixed bed and multi-tube reactor, fluidized bed reactor, bubbling liquid-gas phase reactor and furnace reactor where thermal molecule fragmentation is performed. By giving the design principles of different types of industrial reactors, examples of their applications in this industry are given.
