Thesis (Master)--Izmir Institute of Technology, Energy Engineering, Izmir, 2017 ; Includes bibliographical references (leaves: 163-171) ; Text in English; Abstract: Turkish and English ; xiv, 177 leaves ; In this study, feasibility of Cogeneration/Combined Cycle System will be evaluated for the Izmir Institute of Technology. Turkish Energy Policy lacks some key factors which need to be highlighted for achieving Energy targets. The first aim of this study is to compare the policies and implementation of combined cycle systems of Turkey with Europe and to analyze the steps carried out by European Countries to achieve sustainability. The main objective of this study includes the implementation of a combined cycle system based on the data collection from the authorities of the Institute to analyze the deficiencies of existing system and to propose a more efficient system for meeting the energy demand. Two systems were taken in consideration, a gas turbine and a reciprocating engine based combined cycle system, detailed energy analysis with emissions and cost analysis were presented to determine what case provides the best solution to meet the energy demand. ; Bu çalışmada İzmir Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsü için kojenerasyon / kombine çevrim sisteminin fizibilitesi değerlendirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, sürdürülebilirliği sağlama kapsamındaki başlıklardan biri olan kombine çevrim sistemlerinin uygulamalarında, Avrupa ülkeleri ile Türkiye'nin politikalarını karşılaştırmaktır. Ayrıca, enstitü için tasarlanan kombine çevrim santralinde kullanılacak alt sistemlerin kısa bir tarifi de verilmiştir. Ana hedef, mevcut sistemdeki eksiklikleri analiz etmek ve İzmir Yüksek Teknoloji Enstitüsünün enerji talebini daha verimli bir sistem tasarlayarak karşılamak için, enstitü yetkililerinden alınan verilere dayanan bir kombine çevrim sisteminin uygulamasını içermektedir. Kombine çevrim santrali için gaz türbini ve pistonlu motor (ısı geri kazanım ünitesi ve buhar türbini üretimi olan) olmak üzere iki farklı durum değerlendirilmiştir. Veri analizi, tesisin kapasitesi hakkında bilgi sağlamanın yanı sıra, elektrik tüketimi ve toplam tüketimin gelecekteki değişimi hakkında da fikir vermektedir. Enerji analizi ise, her bir durum için toplam enerji üretimini vermektedir. En son olarak, tasarlanan sistem ile mevcut sistem kıyaslanarak, toplam enerji tüketimi ve atık salınımı açısından ne mertebede bir iyileştirme yapıldığı değerlendirilmiştir.

Water problems of today require a multidimensional and multifaceted response, bringing together an array of stakeholders, including the government, private sector, civil society and international funding agencies. In fact, as the world moves towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such an approach will become a necessity. The SDGs have an important focus on water whereby the goal no. 6 calls for clean and accessible 'water for all.' Meanwhile, the National Water Policy (2018) has recently been promulgated as well. The policy came about after a consensus was developed amongst all provinces in line with an integrated water management strategy for Pakistan. In this context, this study aims to: 1. Introduce and highlight the importance of water stewardship for the corporate sector in Pakistan. 2. Use a case study approach in assessing how private sector can contribute towards sustainable water stewardship and collective action. 3. Present key recommendations that can contribute to the development of an effective and sustainable corporate response to water management problems. This analysis will be useful for policy makers and private sector alike. It will be a critical knowledge product that highlights some of the current water stewardship initiatives and promotes the idea of collective action to address key water scarcity challenges in the country. Moreover, proposed policy actions will help incentivize the private sector to become aware of their social responsibility and think on the lines of social impact investment.

Announcing "war on terrorism" by United States had dire consequences upon independent Pakistani journalists. Pakistan army has carried out several military operations against local and foreign militants those expected to be hidden in these regions. During these operations journalists were restricted from objective and free coverage and therefore they remained embedded with military in FATA. The embedding process created by the Pentagon and implemented for the first time in Iraq, was highly criticized by American citizens for not showing real casualties in Iraq war. Similarly, Pakistani journalists experienced this practice of being embedded in FATA after 9/11 attacks and the coverage went pro-military where civilian casualties were misrepresented. On one side this practice was praised by some journalists for their security and protection while on the other side it was highly criticized by public for violation of human rights. The method of analysis of choice was descriptive and explanatory. For the purpose different journals, research articles, existence literature and books were consulted. This paper shows that in the present age of media galore conflicts are viewed not just from the opposing parties 'perspective but media is also considered a party to the conflicts. Moreover, the paper finds that it becomes very difficult for a journalist to report independently while staying 24/7 with an army unit in a conflict zone. And if they go against the commandments of army they could be killed, and nobody would report this big tragedy. By considering the above facts it has become crystal clear that media portrayals of conflict all over the world including Pakistan have seen major concern to media professionals, combatants and public.

"Picture a world where autonomous systems operate continuously and intelligently, utilizing real-time data to make informed decisions. Such systems have the potential to revolutionize agriculture, urban infrastructure, and industrial automation. This transformation, often termed the Internet of Self-Sustaining Systems (IoSS), is a pivotal topic that demands academic attention and exploration.Addressing this critical issue head-on is The Convergence of Self-Sustaining Systems With AI and IoT, which offers an in-depth examination of this transformative convergence. It serves as a guiding light for academic scholars seeking to unravel the vast potential of self-sustaining systems coupled with AI and IoT. Inside its pages, readers will delve into AI-driven autonomous agriculture, eco-friendly transportation solutions, and intelligent energy management. Moreover, the book explores emerging technologies, security concerns, ethical considerations, and governance frameworks. Join us on this intellectual journey and position yourself at the forefront of the AI and IoT revolution that promises a sustainable, autonomous future."--
