In this study, we focus on the stopwatch circuit by taking it as an example. The main function of a stopwatch is to keep, control and manage time. The goal here is how to design and realize a low cost, power efficient and less latency stopwatch. In this project, the 4-digit up counter was designed and implemented using Arduino development board and classical digital circuit elements. It was also simulated using the Proteus package program. A comparison was made between the two presented methods in terms of cost, performance and power consumption. As a result of the comparison, the lowest cost, highest performance and least power consumption were obtained from the circuit made using classical digital integrated circuits. Therefore, digital systems designed with classical digital integration are much more advantageous, especially when mass production is needed.","PeriodicalId":504667,"journal":{"name":"AYBU Business Journal","volume":"199 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139183136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Especially with the renewable energy sector gaining importance, the most basic way for companies in the renewable energy sector to be successful and ensure their continuity is to pay attention to their financial performance management and take a role in the global market. It is very important for companies to determine the status of their financial performance. Because of this situation, companies use ratio analysis, one of the methods used in the analysis of financial statements, in order to determine the status of their financial performance. It is used to determine the significant relationships between the accounts in the financial statements with the ratio analysis technique. In this method, mathematical relations are established between accounts or groups of accounts. With the results obtained with mathematical relations, it is tried to reach a judgment about the economic and financial structure of the enterprise. The aim of this study is to examine 8 companies operating in the energy sector in Turkey and operating in renewable energy sources among the companies registered in Borsa Istanbul (BIST). The financial statements of 8 companies for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022 will be examined using ratio analysis, one of the financial analysis methods, and their financial performance, liquidity, leverage, activity, and profitability will be examined. The reason for choosing the 2020 period is that it can reach the financial statements, and the number of companies in the renewable energy sector is at its maximum level. In the first chapter, energy and energy resources are defined, and the energy sector in the world and in Turkey is examined. In addition, similar studies in the literature are included in this section. In the second part, financial performance analysis and its methods are mentioned, and the multi-criteria decision-making method is mentioned. In the third part, their financial performances are analyzed and interpreted using the ratio analysis method. After these processes, after weighting the criteria objectively with Entropy methods, the companies were ranked according to their performances by making use of the distances from the ideal solution with TOPSIS, one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. In the last part, the findings obtained as a result of the application were presented, and in the conclusion part, evaluations were made and interpreted.","PeriodicalId":504667,"journal":{"name":"AYBU Business Journal","volume":"44 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139281633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some sectors, such as the Iron and Steel Industry (ISI), have served the development of humanity for centuries and have enabled humanity to create new tools and build solid structures. ISI is a main material provider for different industries such as household appliances, car production, building, and medical devices. The importance of iron and steel for humanity is obvious and the sector serves humanity for being an advanced civilization. On the other hand, iron and steel production requires complex production methods, high energy consumption, and toxic materials. An industry that is so important for the development of civilization harms the planet that we all live in and threatens all living creatures when it doesn’t have environmental consciousness. The iron and steel sector should make its production model more environmentally friendly. In this context, this study aims to explore the effects of Green Supply Chain Management practices on 3 performance aspects (environmental, operational, and economic) of Turkish ISI. Findings indicate that every single GSCM practices have a different level of positive impact on environmental and operational performance. However, the findings suggest that the effects of GSCM practices on economic performance are not enough to declare a positive relationship because it is not obvious and highly clear as environmental performance and operational performance.","PeriodicalId":504667,"journal":{"name":"AYBU Business Journal","volume":"22 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139321148","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
