Öz: Otomotiv Mühendisleri Derneği (SAE) tarafından organize edilen Formula Student yarışmaları dünyadaki en prestijli öğrenci yarışması olarak her sene çeşitli ülkelerde düzenlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de ilk defa Fırat Üniversitesi'nde Fırat Racing Formula Student Takımı tarafından üretilen elektrikli, 4 tekerden tahrikli ve 4 çekiş sistemine sahip bir Formula Student yarış aracının süspansiyon sistemine ait dinamik simülasyonu MSC Adams Car yazılımında yapılmış ardından araç tekerlek sistemine ait taşıyıcı parçasına zeminden gelen kuvvet doğrultusunda Sonlu Elemanlar Analizi uygulanmıştır. Dinamik simülasyon için önce Bilgisayar Destekli Tasarım (CAD) ortamında tasarlanan süspansiyon sistemine ait bağlantı noktaları, parçalar ve mafsal bilgileri Adams Car yazılımında Hardpoint adı verilen bağlantı noktalarına ait koordinatlar kullanılarak modellenmiş sonrasında ise tekerlek sisteminin simülasyonu yapılarak tekerlek merkezine zeminden kuvvet 2960.9 N olarak bulunmuştur. Bulunan bu kuvvet değeri ANSYS Mechanical Academic yazılımında Sonlu Elemanlar Analizi yöntemi kullanılarak alüminyum 7075 T6 malzemesine sahip taşıyıcı parçasının dayanımı analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre parçada maksimum 0.01432 mm toplam deformasyon oluşmakta ve 12.661 MPa değerinde eşdeğer gerilme görülmektedir.

Economic growth is an important concept that countries focus on and try to achieve by applying various strategies. Because a growing economy increases the welfare level of the people and enables countries to consolidate their existence. For this reason, many countries around the world are trying to develop their foreign trade activities, which is one of the most important driving forces of growth. In foreign trade, it is important that the movements of these products in the supply chain are carried out effectively and efficiently as much as the products produced. An effectively executed logistics system helps to reduce costs, increase efficiency, and gain competitive advantage. In other words, logistics, while providing the sectoral connection within the national economy, is the whole of the activities that connect the country's economy to the global economy, in other words, it is extremely necessary for the execution of foreign trade. A number of factors can affect the efficiency of logistics, including infrastructure, technology, and the regulatory environment. In our study, it is aimed to evaluate the competencies of Turkey and Turkic Republics, which have a common language, race, culture, and tradition, in the field of logistics and to reveal the relationship between logistics competency and economic growth. The logistics competence of the countries is represented by the Logistics Performance Index published by the World Bank. In addition, macroeconomic data consisting of GDP per capita, foreign trade and growth of these countries were obtained from the World Bank and compared between countries.

The construction sector is developing and growing together with the sub-sectors it depends on. Overall, macroeconomic balances have positive effects on employment, growth and development, with improving effects. The construction sector, which is one of the most important indicators of economic vitality, has become even more important nowadays with urban transformation activities. Renewal, transformation and remediation have been implemented in many countries in the world in recent years due to economic and social, population densities and natural disasters in our country. In Turkey, some legal arrangements have been made in order to improve the urban transformation applications. Within the said legal arrangements, the costs to be generated by urban transformation have not been determined. In this study, a financing model is proposed for the costs that will arise through urban transformation.

Consumption is defined as the use of goods and services produced in order to meet the needs and demands. However, the goods and services consumed are not only indicator of purchase power but also social status. At this point, the aim of conspicuous consumption comes to the fore. Conspicuous consumption for social status was first discussed by Thorstein Veblen in his book, The Theory of The Leisure Class, in 1899. According to Veblen, this kind of consumption is carried out in order to raise the social status by the upper social class and other classes trying to be similar to them rather than to the need. The views of Veblen are important when considered today's consumer society and constitute an important point of reference for gaining an insight into the world of over-consumption, especially for the younger generations. For this reason, in our study, we aim to conduct a questionnaire for Kırklareli University students in order to understand how the concept of conspicuous consumption has acquired dimension for university students. As a result of the study, it will be tried to determine whether the students have conspicuous consumption; which factors are affected if the students turn to conspicuous consumption and whether the students have loaded symbolic meanings to the commodities they purchased.

According to the general theory, it is recognized that exports increase employment. Recently, in the world economy, increasing unemployment, foreign trade of the impact on employment has led to new research. Many of the aforementioned studies validating the theory, some of them have different results. In recent studies in Turkey was a different result. In this study, Turkey and the European Union countries in terms of trade effect on employment will be examined. For this purpose, employment and foreign trade data for the years 2000-2012 using a panel data analysis will be done. Exports, imports, wages, and production depending on the change in employment and the interaction will be investigated. Depending on available data at the sectoral level, there will be a distinction. Especially in the last ten years, the recession and rise in unemployment in Europe will be discussed with the relevant dynamics. In Turkey, the current account deficit, growth, unemployment issues are noteworthy. European Union accession process, Turkey and the European Union countries in the comparison will be significant in the economic indicators.
