How to struggle with exclusionary right-wing populism: evidence from Turkey
No full textThis paper investigates the new character of the strategy of the Republican People's Party (CHP) using populism to combat the success of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP). We consider populism along a left-right axis in terms of the differentiation of exclusionary and inclusionary approaches and conduct a content analysis of campaign speeches by Ekrem Imamoglu during the 2019 local elections, as well as speeches of the party elites given during the currency crisis of 2018 and the COVID-19 pandemic. We argue that an alternative to the exclusionary right-wing populism may construct images of egalitarianism, participatory budgeting, and agrarian populism instead of mobilizing security or survival issues
SIFIR ATIK VE MODÜLER MODA TASARIMI: BİR KOLEKSİYON ÖNERİSİ
No full textZero waste fashion design is a way and at the end of the pattern designing process occurs no cut-and-sew waste. Modular fashion design is a process in that one garment can have the appearance of different designs which can be modified by the consumer. The zero waste fashion design and modular fashion design are considered together as a multiple design methodology to supply sustainable fashion production. Although both design techniques are completely unique, the common aim of sustainability design results can be reached through the combination of the two. In this study, a collection was designed by integrating these two design methodologies: zero waste and modular fashion. If consumers have an active role in the sustainable design process, the responsibility for sustainable fashion design falls partially on them. The consumer is one of the three pillars of sustainable design philosophy, so they have a major role in helping create a balance on the sustainable fashion production and a sustainable fashion market. Thanks to this harmony, the design process should consider consumer-centered design options and consumer demands. In this study, an experimental development practicing method via modular and zero waste fashion design methods were used to create a suggested collection. At the end of this study, three garments were designed for that suggested collection, and each can be worn in three or four different looks. © (2023). All Rights Reserved

A Study of Systemic Approaches to Treating Patients with Physical Illness or Disability in Turkey
No full textMedical problems can affect a person's physical health, mental health, relationships, quality of life, and the people with whom the patient is connected. Although we presume mental health professionals in Turkey work with individuals coping with health issues, there has been no prior published research. This study sought to determine how mental health professionals in Turkey approached their patients currently coping with a physical illness or disability and to what degree they collaborated with other care providers. Results revealed limited education on how to work with patients and their families currently coping with illness or disability, low interdisciplinary collaboration, and low family involvement in mental healthcare related to medical issues. The authors discuss how mental healthcare providers can use the findings of this study to advance systemic training and improve the use of systemic approaches for patients and their families coping with illness and disability in Turkey
Alkali-activated basalt powder/slag systems: compressive strength and microstructural characterization
No full textThis study investigates the potential use of basalt powder as a sole precursor or blended in high amounts in slag-based alkali-activated systems. Eight alkali-activated mixes are prepared and comprehensively analyzed to determine the compressive strength development and microstructural characterization of basalt powder-based and basalt powder/slag blends activated by sodium hydroxide and a mixture of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. The mixes are characterized from a microstructural viewpoint via X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and scanning electron microscopy analyses. The results show that while basalt powder-based mixes have low compressive strength values, ranging between 2 and 9 MPa, basalt powder/slag blend mixes exhibit a moderate compressive strength, i.e., 20 MPa at 28 days. Furthermore, sodium-silicate-activated basalt powder/slag blend mixes achieve high compressive strengths at early and further ages. The low strength values of the basalt powder-based mixes are attributed to the low concentration of reactive species and lack of Ca2+ ions in the medium, while the high compressive strength of the blended mixes is mainly associated with the formation of calcium aluminosilicate hydrate [C-(A)-S-H] or Na-enriched calcium sodium aluminosilicate hydrate [C-(N)-A-S-H] gel phases along with the calcic-plagioclase, which afford a denser microstructure. The obtained results show that basalt powder can be used in high concentrations, i.e., 50%, in alkali-activated systems, and basalt powder/slag blends can be a feasible, alternative binder system for use as a structural material.Istanbul Bilgi University Research Fund [2019.02.004]This research was conducted at the Construction Materials Laboratory of Istanbul Bilgi University.

Search in diphoton and dielectron final states for displaced production of Higgs or Z bosons with the ATLAS detector in p s=13 TeV pp collisions
Get PDFA search is presented for displaced production of Higgs bosons or Z bosons, originating from the decay of a neutral long-lived particle (LLP) and reconstructed in the decay modes H -& gamma;& gamma; and Z -ee. The analysis uses the full Run 2 dataset of proton-proton collisions delivered by the LHC at an energy of p1/4 13 TeV between 2015 and 2018 and recorded by the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an ffiffi s integrated luminosity of 139 fb-1. Exploiting the capabilities of the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter to precisely measure the arrival times and trajectories of electromagnetic objects, the analysis searches for the signature of pairs of photons or electrons which arise from a common displaced vertex and which arrive after some delay at the calorimeter. The results are interpreted in a gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking model with pair-produced Higgsinos that decay to LLPs, and each LLP subsequently decays into either a Higgs boson or a Z boson. The final state includes at least two particles that escape direct detection, giving rise to missing transverse momentum. No significant excess is observed above the background expectation. The results are used to set upper limits on the cross section for Higgsino pair production, up to a & chi;& SIM;01 mass of 369 (704) GeV for decays with 100% branching ratio of & chi; & SIM;01 to Higgs (Z) bosons for a & chi;& SIM;01 lifetime of 2 ns. A model-independent limit is also set on the production of pairs of photons or electrons with a significant delay in arrival at the calorimeter
Measurement of the properties of Higgs boson production at ?s=13 TeV in the H? ?? channel using 139 fb-1 of pp collision data with the ATLAS experiment
Get PDFMeasurements of Higgs boson production cross-sections are carried out in the diphoton decay channel using 139 fb(-1) of pp collision data at root s = 13TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The analysis is based on the definition of 101 distinct signal regions using machine-learning techniques. The inclusive Higgs boson signal strength in the diphoton channel is measured to be 1.04(+0.10) (-0.09). Cross-sections for gluon-gluon fusion, vector-boson fusion, associated production with a W or Z boson, and top associated production processes are reported. An upper limit of 10 times the Standard Model prediction is set for the associated production process of a Higgs boson with a single top quark, which has a unique sensitivity to the sign of the top quark Yukawa coupling. Higgs boson production is further characterized through measurements of Simplified Template Cross-Sections (STXS). In total, cross-sections of 28 STXS regions are measured. The measured STXS cross-sections are compatible with their Standard Model predictions, with a p-value of 93%. The measurements are also used to set constraints on Higgs boson coupling strengths, as well as on new interactions beyond the Standard Model in an effective field theory approach. No significant deviations from the Standard Model predictions are observed in these measurements, which provide significant sensitivity improvements compared to the previous ATLAS results
