From the Efforts of the Weak Horses to the International Arena: The Istanbul Biennial and Art Worlds
No full textThis article discusses the role of the Istanbul Biennial in the city's journey to becoming a center of power in Turkey's cultural and artistic scene and its impact on the representation of contemporary art and artists from Turkey in global art institutions applying content analysis as methodology and using primary sources such as Istanbul Biennials and exhibition catalogs, archival documents, statements of biennial curators and artists. The Istanbul Biennial gained recognition as an artistic event after the 1990s and has had a gradually growing influence on Turkey's contemporary art scene. As the growing number of biennials in different cities around the world every year shows, the biennial is beginning to surpass events in museums and similar art institutions in importance as an exhibition format. Biennials also regulate the contemporary cultural and artistic scene of the countries in which they are organized and tend to establish themselves as a hegemonic power. The Istanbul Biennial's impact illustrates how Istanbul has become a center of attraction both in Turkey's and the world's artistic and cultural scene. The article will investigate the place of the Istanbul Biennial in the global art world and its impact on biennial exhibitions as one of the most hegemonic exhibition formats
The structural studies and optical characteristics of phase-segregated Ir-doped LuFeO3-? films
No full textIn this work, we carefully examined how Ir substitution into Fe sites can change the band of the LuFeO3 (LFO) material. LFO and Ir-doped LFO (LuFe1-xIrxO3 or LFIO for short, where x = 0.05 and 0.10) thin films were synthesized by utilizing magnetron sputtering techniques. The films were grown on silicon and indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates at 500 degrees C. The crystallographic orientation of the films was examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The crystallographic orientation of the thin films was examined using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). For surface topography research, atomic force microscopy (AFM) was employed. To look for the recombination of photogenerated electron-hole pairs in the materials under investigation, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy was used. Raman spectroscopy is then utilized to gather data on crystal symmetry as well as disorders and defects in the oxide materials. It was demonstrated that the LFO band gap was altered from 2.35 to 2.72 eV by Ir substitution into Fe sites. Moreover, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) was used to analyze conductivity, real and imaginary components of the dielectric constant, refractive index (n), extinction coefficient (k), and reflectance percentage.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) [116F025]; MEYS CR [LM 2018110]; Istanbul Medeniyet University Science and Advanced Technology Research Center; Istanbul Medeniyet University Science and Advanced Technology Research Center (IMU-BILTAM)This work was supported by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) through Grant No: 116F025.

No full textÖZET: Bu çalışma çölyaklı yetişkin bireylerde çölyak diyetine uyum ve çölyak diyeti eg?itim sonucu bilgi düzeyindeki deg?işimin tespit edilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya, çölyak tanısı alan 18-65 yaş arası (ortalama 33,9±9,9 yıl), Çölyakla Yaşam Derneg?i’ne üye olan 44 birey (%53,5 kadın ve %45,5 erkek) katılmıştır. Katılımcılara ilk test olarak sosyodemografik özelliklerini, tıbbi öykü, beslenme alışkanlıklarını ve besin tüketim durumlarını belirlemek için çevrim içi platform yardımıyla anket yapılmıştır. I?lk anketin doldurulmasının ardından bireylere çölyak diyetine ilişkin çevrim içi beslenme eg?itimi verilmiş ve sonrasında bilgi düzeylerindeki deg?işimi belirlemek amacıyla son test yapılmıştır. Katılımcıların çölyak diyetine uyumunun belirlenmesi için “Çölyak Diyeti Uyum Testi (CDAT)” kullanılmıştır. Katılımcıların beden kütle indeksi ortalaması 23,5±3,5 kg/m2 olup, %63,6’sı normal, %27’si hafif şişman, %6,8’i obezdir (p>0,05). En sık gözlenen semptomlar yorgunluk (%70,8), gaz-şişkinlik (%66,7), dikkat eksiklig?i (%54,2) (p>0,05). CDAT’a göre katılımcıların %45,5’inde yetersiz, %29,5’inde iyi, %18,2’sinde zayıf, %6,8’inde mükemmel uyum görülmüştür. Bekarların evli olanlara ve işsizlerin ise çalışanlara göre glütensiz diyete uyumu daha yüksektir (p0,05). Çölyak diyetine mükemmel ve çok iyi uyum gösteren bireylerin, yetersiz ve zayıf uyumu olanlara göre kalsiyum alım düzeyleri yüksek bulunmuştur (p>0,05). Çölyak diyeti eg?itimi sonrasında bilgi düzeyinde anlamlı artış oldug?u görülmüştür (p0.05). The most common symptoms were fatigue (70.8%), flatulence (66.7%), and lack of attention (54.2%) (p>0.05). According to CDAT, 45.5% of the participants had inadequate, 29.5% good, 18.2% weak, 6.8% excellent compliance. Gluten-free diet adherence is higher among singles than married and unemployed people (p0, 05). Calcium intake levels of individuals with excellent and very good adherence to the celiac diet were found to be higher than those with inadequate and poor adherence (p>0.05). It was observed that there was a significant increase in knowledge level after celiac diet training (p<0.05)
The mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between internalized stigma and psychological resilience in bipolar disorder
Get PDFIntroduction: Internalized stigma is known to be high in bipolar disorder ( BD). Concepts such as self-compassion and psychological resilience have recently begun to be studied as protective factors for BD. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationships between internalized stigma, self-compassion and resilience among individuals with BD. Method: One hundred and thirty-two male and female (18- 65 years of age) participants with a DSM 5 diagnosis of BD (BD-I & BD-II) were included. The remission criteria (YMRS< 5 and HDRS< 7) was evaluated using clinician-administered measures and all participants were found to be remitted. Correlation and mediation analyses were performed. Participants completed the Internalized Stigma in Mental Illness Scale (ISMI), the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA). Results: Significant correlations were found between internalized stigma, sub-dimensions of self-compassion (self-kindness, self-judgement, common humanity, isolation, mindfulness, and over-identification), and resilience in the expected directions like negative correlations between internalized stigma and positive dimensions of self-compassion (self-kindness, common humanity and mindfulness). Self-judgement and self-kindness mediated the relationship between internalized stigma and psychological resilience. Conclusions: The findings of the study shed light on which dimensions of self-compassion might be more beneficial to work with in order to increase resilience when working with internalized stigma in BD. This strengths-based investigation would be valuable to enrich psycho-social interventions for the prevention of relapse in BD
COVID caused a negative bubble. Who profited? Who lost? How stock markets changed?
Get PDFCompiling a unique, worldwide collection of trading data, we analyze investor types' aggregate trading in stock markets throughout the COVID-19 episode, to assess investor types' role in a worldwide negative bubble and their degree of sophistication in responding to it. Individual investors were the main buyers and consequently the winners during the rebound. Foreign institutional investors exited host markets; some domestic institutions exploited the negative bubble by well-timed buying. In US index futures, asset managers heavily sold into crash; dealers profited from the rebound. Individual investors' buying was driven by their contrarian behavioral traits and a unique positive shock to retail investor demand for self-serviced investing in stocks, driven by work-from-home practices and unprecedented stimulus. This shock has changed the participant composition of world stock markets. Overall, the COVID-19 episode has many unique aspects that cannot be accounted for under existing theories
"Sen" ve "ben", "biz" olduğunda: ilişki tanımlayıcı anılarda birlik hissi
Get PDFABSTRACT: Previous studies showed that there is a relationship between the sense of unity of individuals and their relationship satisfaction. Also, it is implied that there is a link between the sense of unity and attachment security of couples. There were three aims of the present study. First aim was to examine what predicts relationship satisfaction. Another purpose of the present study was to study what predicts attachment security. It is hypothesized that “we” words (namely, the sense of unity) in relationship-defining memories and the levels of positive and negative emotions memories with these memories can predict not only relationship satisfaction but also attachment security of couples. Final goal of the present study was to conduct a content analysis for themes in relationship-defining memories. Participants wrote down the memories that most reflected and defined their relationship. Then, they rated their emotions they felt about these memories. Finally, they completed Couple Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Brief Accessibility, Responsiveness, and Engagement Scale (BARE) to measure their relationship satisfaction and attachment security, respectively. After conducting separate multiple regression analyses for examining what predicts relationship satisfaction and attachment security, it was revealed that the sense of unity, positive emotions, and negative emotions associated with relationship-defining memories predicted attachment security. Nevertheless, only the sense of unity and positive emotions experienced in relationship-defining memories predicted relationship satisfaction. On the other hand, fourteen themes emerged in participants’ relationshipdefining memories after four different coders analyzed dominant themes in memories. Results are discussed within the existing literature. Finally, clinical implications of results regarding the sense of unity, positive emotions, negative emotions, relationship satisfaction and attachment security were discussed.ÖZET: Daha önce yapılan araştırmalar, bireylerin birlik hissi ile ilişki doyumları arasında bir ilişki olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca çiftlerin birlik hissi ile bağlanma güvenliği arasında bir bağlantı olduğu da ima edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın üç amacı vardır. İlk amaç, ilişki doyumunu neyin yordadığını incelemektir. Bu çalışmanın diğer bir amacı, bağlanma güvenliğini neyin öngördüğünü incelemektir. İlişkiyi tanımlayan anılardaki “biz” kelimelerinin ve bu anılarla ilgili olumlu ve olumsuz duyguların, çiftlerin sadece ilişki doyumunu değil, aynı zamanda bağlanma güvenliğini de yordadığı varsayılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın son amacı ise, ilişkiyi tanımlayan anılardaki baskın temaları incelemek için bir içerik analizi yapmaktır. Katılımcıların ilişkilerini en çok yansıtan ve tanımlayan anıyı yazmaları istenmiştir. Daha sonra bu anılarla ilgili hissettikleri duyguları derecelendirmişlerdir. Son olarak, ilişki doyumlarını ve bağlanma güvenliklerini ölçmek için sırasıyla İlişki Doyum İndeksi (İDİ-4) ve Duyarlılık, Ulaşılabilirlik, Yakınlık Ölçeği’ni (DUY) doldurmuşlardır. İlişki doyumunu ve bağlanma güvenliğini neyin yordadığını incelemek için ayrı çoklu regresyon analizleri yapıldıktan sonra, ilişkiyi tanımlayan anılardaki birlik hissi, olumlu duygular ve olumsuz duyguların bağlanma güvenliğini yordadığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bununla birlikte, yalnızca birlik hissi ve olumlu duyguların ilişki doyumunu yordadığı bulunmuştur. Öte yandan, dört farklı kodlayıcının anılardaki baskın temaları analizinin ardından, katılımcıların ilişkiyi tanımlayan anılarında on dört tema ortaya çıktığı görülmüştür. Sonuçlar, varolan literatür çerçevesinde tartışılmıştır. Son olarak, birlik hissi, olumlu duygular, olumsuz duygular, ilişki doyumu ve bağlanma güvenliğine ilişkin çıkan sonuçların klinik psikoloji ve çift terapisi bağlamında anlamı tartışılmıştır

Integration
No full textStrategic temporality permeates the integration experience of Turkey’s Syrians in a number of ways. First, given their temporary legal status, there is a grey area between reception and integration, which is highly symbolic of ambiguous inclusion (Kaya & Nagel, 2021). Until recently, there has been no publicly announced national integration policy; instead, there was only a discourse about uyum (social harmony) that is not premised on permanent inclusion or equal rights with locals. Further, refugees face liminality in every possible sphere governing long-term settlement, such as in the labour market, education, housing, health and citizenship. Most work informally and experience economic precarity; a third of Syrian children are not in school; refugees must secure their own (often substandard) housing; linguistic and other barriers prevent full health care access, and pathways to citizenship or long-term permanent residence are limited. All of this creates feelings of profound anxiety and uncertainty for refugees as they go about their day-to-day lives. © 2023, The Author(s)
