The chosen paper mainly investigates the efficient usage of social media marketing of SMEs in Azerbaijan by scrutinizing its impact upon SMEs in recent times. In the study, annual dispatches from the State Statistics Committee of Azerbaijan, reports of local research centers, data from the Small and Medium Business Development Agency, domestic articles, media materials, as well as scientific research and empirical approaches of foreign scholars were used. Results confirmed that there is still a lack of information among SMEs in Azerbaijan concerning the successful use of social media marketing. Although SMEs have widespread access to social media in the country, they do not have high financial resources and enough SM experience, which are not able to achieve desired results by using social media marketing. The study depicts that SMEs in Azerbaijan need to closely monitor market developments and consumer trends, and update themselves accordingly before using the SMM effectively. It also helps the government to provide SMEs with training and online mentorship on social media marketing to ensure the effective use of it in the country. The contribution of the paper is to scrutinize and to define SMEs\' view of marketing through social media use. The study also examined the activities of SMEs in Azerbaijan, their usage of social media marketing, and its impact on their marketing activities. It also contributes to the domestic literature, as there are restricted studies in domestic literature such as monographs, academic books, and other sources.
The chosen article aims to investigate the history of silkworm development, the centers of silk production in Azerbaijan, and its occupied historical lands, the pace of development of silkworm breeding in the surrounding areas to study the material and spiritual culture of Azerbaijan. Simultaneously, the article does identify the design of the Kelaghayi, as an integral part of the Azerbaijani national women\'s clothing (scarf), considered one of the most valuable assortments of silk products, its classification by regions, the state of modern artistic composition and its application to contemporary clothing. To determine the specific characters of the regions, several sources of literature reflecting the ethnographic, historical, and artistic nature of folk art were analyzed. The variety of colors and ornaments of the figurative design of kelaghayis and their manufacturing technology in Ganja, Sheki, Basgal regions were scrutinized in the article.
In this paper, a design process and a hardware implementation for a wireless realtime home automation system approach based on NI MyRIO microcontroller board and LabVIEW platform has been developed. The proposed automated system has two hardware elements: the first one is a personal computer as a system main server hosting the designed LabVIEW platform and the second element is a NI MyRIO microcontroller board for managing the operating between the appliances and the sensors. The appliances can be automatically monitored, controlled, and accessed in response to the signals from the related sensors or manually by the system end-user through smart phone based on Wi-Fi and cloud computing technology. To approve the reliability of the proposed automated system, a hardware realization for three appliances: temperature management, light energy saving, and biometric security system of face recognition with fingerprint check has been introduced. The proposed system has a simple structure, economically cost effective and flexible scaling up for a proper automated home future.
The process of providing the security to secret information by hiding it into different information is called as the Steganography. The information which is to be hidden in an image is which is carrier is also in an image format. The secret image can be embedded in another image so that it makes the intruder hard to find the data which is hidden. In this method, the carrier image can act as a good source of embedding since the entire image is aligned in the form of pixels. Hence, the data which is embedded inside the carrier image makes it harder to the intruder to access and modify it. Embedding the secret information in these pixels of an image leads to high security. In this paper, selected TEB features such as such as Texture, Edge sensitivity and Brightness sensitivity where calculated are computed for the entire image and then further, the inference rules are formed, and then combined to embed the secret information in the pixels of the carrier image. and combined with the inference system for hiding the information. Experimental results show that this system hides the secret information more effectively with a high information hiding rate.
In this study, the improvement of a corridor consisting of four junctions, located in Atatürk University Campus, was studied. The traffic volumes of this corridor which are expected to arise after 20 years were determined by origin-destination matrix estimation method. The junctions located on the corridor were analyzed by utilizing VISSIM package software and they were evaluated according to the parameters of travel time, average delay, queue length, CO emissions and fuel consumption. However, one of the most important parameters of junction design is traffic safety. Since traffic safety is an abstract parameter, it cannot be used on micro-simulation analyses. Therefore, multi-criteria decision-making models are required to be utilized in order to observe the effects of traffic safety on the determination of a convenient junction type. For this reason, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, was utilized. Three different scenarios were constituted for the current corridor. The most convenient junction type was determined by comparing the scenarios with the existing condition via both micro-simulation and AHP method. Considering the results, it can be said that scenario 1 (the case that all of the junctions were roundabouts) is the most convenient junction type in terms of the parameters mentioned above and traffic safety.
