Bio-Based Self-Healing Plasters for Industrial Applications

Bio-Based Self-Healing Plasters for Industrial Applications ugurhersek Thu, 04/25/2024 - 10:26

Quota: 2 Students
Date:01.07.2024-09.08.2024
Application Deadline:07.06.2024

Description:
The proposed research aims to develop natural or bio-based additives for crack remediation in cement-
based materials. While there is extensive research on various self-healing approaches, the field
application of the method still needs to be improved. The proposed project directly responds to this
challenge by establishing different additives for dry mix mortars. The designed dry mix mortar will have
an advanced rheological property that could be adapted to grouting, plastering, and even 3D printing. The
critical innovation and novel aspect of BioCrete is to develop a self-healing approach for cement-based
mixes through biomineralization and adapt the self-healing mortar to different field applications (i.e.,
plaster, grouts, and 3D printing).

3D Printing for Earth Materials (3D-EARTH)

3D Printing for Earth Materials (3D-EARTH) ugurhersek Thu, 04/25/2024 - 10:02

Quota: 2 Students
Date:01.07.2024-09.08.2024
Application Deadline:07.06.2024

Description:

The Green Deal and the Paris Agreement have forced the construction industry to maintain a “zero
carbon” and “digital transformation” criteria through their production methods. These developments made
the concrete industry paradoxical in achieving optimization among improved performance, cost, and
sustainability. For example, mortars that produce structural elements with three-dimensional (3D) printers
use three times more cement than conventional concrete to control hydration and improve rheology. This
increases the production of high cement volumes and makes the environmental impact even more
pronounced.
The main objective of this study is to develop building materials suitable for 3D printing using locally
available soil. For this purpose, the rheological properties of the soil materials designed to be produced in
3D printers will be controlled by using bacterial cells. Microorganisms will stabilize natural clays (kaolin
and bentonite) to obtain a natural material. In the planned research, the rheological properties of the
printable material will be examined by determining the interaction of clays and microorganisms and
physiochemical changes. In this context, clays' physical and chemical properties will first be determined.
First, the interaction of cells with clay-based materials will be examined using Zeta potential
measurement, Fourier Transform IR, and Scanning Electron Microscopy.

Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child

Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child ugurhersek Thu, 04/04/2024 - 11:57

Project Supervisor: Dr. Öğretim Üyesi Sevgi Usta
Duration: 22-26 July 2024
Application Deadline: 20 May 2024

Topic: Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child

The title of the Project: Interdisciplinary Research Laboratory on the Rights of the Child

United Nations and Child Rights: The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), which was prepared in ten years with the initiative of Poland and consists of 54 articles, is an international convention that entered into force in 1989.

It has been signed by all countries of the world and entered into force in all countries except the USA. Countries that have signed the Convention have promised to protect children's rights, with the authority to make reservations to some of its articles related to their domestic law or culture. Our country signed the convention in 1989 and put it into force in 1995 with some reservations

The Convention describes the social, economic and cultural rights of children and the responsibilities/duties of governments in relation to childhood, all of which are interrelated and integrated. The Convention binds all institutions, organisations and individuals working with or for children to the principles of the protection of the child's right to life, survival and development, the best interests and priority of the child, participation and non-discrimination, and they are obliged to realise children's rights in relation to these principles.

The Committee on the Rights of the Child has been established within the United Nations to examine the progress made by each State in fulfilling its obligations under the present Convention. Each State shall submit to the Committee, at the intervals specified in the Convention, measures taken to give effect to the rights recognised in the Convention and reports on the progress made in the enjoyment of those rights. Another authority granted to the Committee under the Optional Protocol to the Convention on the Rights of the Child on the Procedure of Referrals is to receive and finalise the applications of children alleging that one of the rights under the Convention has been violated. In 2018, Turkey became a party to this Protocol.

The internship will start with general and theoretical information about the Convention and therefore the theories of children's rights in the international sense and the history of children's rights, the rights and principles it contains and the relevant Protocols, the introduction of the Committee, the development of children's rights in Turkey in interaction with the CRC and internationals, the reflection of children's rights on judicial decisions, and will continue with the reports on children's rights of the countries selected by the students, as well as Turkey's reports, and the decisions of children's applications to the Committee.

During the internship, a practical work will also be completed. With regard to the State's duty to undertake to ensure that the principles and provisions of the Convention are widely known by children as well as adults through appropriate and effective means, it is planned to carry out a dissemination, especially visual promotion work for the right between 1-3 to be selected by the students.

Digital Strategy in the European Union ugurhersek Wed, 03/27/2024 - 07:09

Project Name: Digital Strategy in the European Union

Subject Title: Artificial Intelligence and Robot Law Laboratory Study

Date: 24-28 June 2024

Last Application Date: 3 June 2024

Content: The European Union creates legislation with its own unique methods with its unique supranational legal system and sets an example for countries outside the Union, especially our country. As a summer internship in the Artificial Intelligence Law Laboratory, we will learn what the EU's regulations are under the title of digital transformation; How the EU makes its legislative arrangements and especially the content and effects of the Artificial Intelligence Law will be examined; It will be evaluated in terms of Turkish law.

The internship program has been prepared for a total of 5 days between 24-28 June. In the study, it is planned that students will master the basic knowledge of the EU digital transformation and artificial intelligence and develop their research, presentation and text preparation skills.
