Get PDFABSTRACT:This study examines the effects of skepticism toward advertising in the use of adblocker software. A theoretical model in predicting a consumer’s likelihood in using ad-blocker software has been proposed and tested. Then, an online survey was used to gather data, to which 212 people responded. This data was then analyzed for statistical significance in predicting a given consumer’s likelihood of using adblocker software. The model is shown to be significantly more effective in this prediction with a 72.3% correct estimation rate. Skepticism toward advertising with regards to digital media is an area that has not been extensively covered in academic literature. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature, while also proposing future research that could ultimately benefit consumers and advertisers alike via re-establishing fields of marketing communications. Achieving such, would be a net benefit for all parties involved without the need to resort to software that unselectively blocks interparty relationships with consumers and corporations. This study proposes an original model to predict a given consumer’s likelihood of using ad-blocker software. The model in question incorporates various factors that are linked to consumer attitude and behavior that commonly were considered for advertising in the traditional media. Technical disciplines and technical branches of disciplines such as marketing and communications will benefit from a cognitive look at digital consumer behavior as most human action stems from human psychology to begin with. Thus, this study aims to have implications to a wide variety of disciplines in re-establishing the channels of communication for advertisers and consumers in the digital and nondigital media alike.ÖZET: Bu çalışma, reklam engelleyici yazılımların kullanımında reklama yönelik şüpheciliğin etkilerini incelemektedir. Bir tüketicinin reklam engelleyici yazılım kullanma olasılığını tahmin etmeye yönelik teorik bir model önerildi ve test edildi. Ardından, veri toplamak için 212 kişinin yanıtladığı çevrimiçi bir anket kullanıldı. Bu veriler daha sonra, belirli bir tüketicinin reklam engelleyici yazılım kullanma olasılığını tahmin etmede istatistiksel anlamlılık açısından analiz edildi. Modelin bu tahminde %72,3 doğru tahmin oranı ile önemli ölçüde daha etkili olduğu gösterilmiştir. Dijital medya ile ilgili olarak reklamcılığa yönelik şüphecilik, akademik literatürde kapsamlı bir şekilde ele alınmayan bir alandır. Bu çalışma, literatürdeki bu boşluğu doldurmayı ve aynı zamanda pazarlama iletişimi alanlarını yeniden kurarak nihai olarak hem tüketicilere hem de reklamverenlere fayda sağlayabilecek gelecekteki araştırmaları önermeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bunu başarmak, tüketiciler ve şirketler ile taraflar arası ilişkileri seçici olmayan bir şekilde engelleyen yazılımlara başvurmaya gerek kalmadan ilgili tüm taraflar için net bir fayda olacaktır. Bu çalışma, belirli bir tüketicinin reklam engelleyici yazılım kullanma olasılığını tahmin etmek için orijinal bir model önermektedir. Söz konusu model, geleneksel medyada reklam için yaygın olarak düşünülen tüketici tutum ve davranışlarıyla bağlantılı çeşitli faktörleri içermektedir. Pazarlama ve iletişim gibi teknik disiplinler ve disiplinlerin teknik dalları, dijital tüketici davranışına bilişsel bir bakış açısıyla fayda sağlayacaktır, çünkü insan eylemlerinin çoğu en başta insan psikolojisinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma, dijital ve dijital olmayan ortamlarda reklam verenler ve tüketiciler için iletişim kanallarının yeniden kurulmasında çok çeşitli disiplinlere çıkarımlar yapmayı amaçlamaktadır
An Integrative Perspective on Understanding Human Functioning: Positive Clinical Psychology
No full textThe number of studies conducted with a holistic perspective as an alternative to the traditional clinical psychology approach has increased. It is noteworthy that studies examine the effects of positive concepts on human health in addition to discomfort. In this study, it was aimed to examine four concepts that are frequently researched in positive psychology, namely well-being, psychological resilience, hope and coping in an integrative context. Also, it was aimed to give information about the positive clinical psychology approach and the studies which investigate these four positive concepts. Studies were searched through PsycARTICLE, EBSCO and Pubmed electronic databases. Totally 208 studies were reached and 26 articles were included in this review article. As a result, the effective results in treatment of psychological disorders and increase of well-being of an individual with positive psychology interventions suggest that it is important to expand the positive perspective in clinical psychology. It is thought that it may be clinically important that the presence/increase of positive concepts as well as the absence/decrease of psychopathologies should be one of the treatment targets of mental health specialists. It is hoped that adopting an integrative perspective in future studies will enrich empirical research in the field of psychotherapy
Linking Customer Justice Perception, Customer Support Perception, and Customer Citizenship Behavior to Corporate Reputation: Evidence from the Airline Industry
No full textBy applying the equity theory, organizational support theory, signaling theory, and the social exchange theory to the customer context, this study intends to investigate the antecedents and consequences of service customers' corporate reputation evaluation by examining the direct and indirect relationships between customers' corporate reputation evaluation, customer justice perception, customer support perception, and customer citizenship behavior. Self-administered online surveys were conducted by implementing snowball sampling among real airline customers in Turkey, and 741 valid surveys were collected. Direct and indirect relationships between the research variables were tested via structural equation modeling and bootstrapping methods. Results showed that distributive justice perception, interactional justice perception, and customer support perception positively affect customers' corporate reputation evaluation, whereas customers' corporate reputation evaluation positively affects customer citizenship behavior as well. Furthermore, it was found that customers' corporate reputation evaluation has a mediation role in the relationships between distributive justice perception, interactional justice perception, customer support perception, and customer citizenship behavior.Istanbul Bilgi UniversityThe author would like to thank Istanbul Bilgi University for its support in terms of proofreading the article
Special jurisdiction for peace in Colombia: an analysis in the context of transitional justice
Get PDFÖZET: Geçiş dönemi adaleti, toplumların çatışma sonrası süreçte geçmişte yaşanan hak ihlallerini ele alması ve daha demokratik, adil ve barışçıl bir yaşamı kurması bakımından önemli role sahip, çok disiplinli ve literatürde çok çeşitli tartışmalara konu olan bir kavramdır. Kolombiya Hükümeti ile FARC-EP arasında elli yılı aşkın süredir devam eden ve 220.000 binden fazla kişinin ölmesine ve çok ciddi insan hakları ihlallerine neden olan silahlı çatışma, dört yıl süren müzakere sürecinin ardından, 2016 yılında imzalanan bir barış anlaşması ile sona ermiştir. İşbu Anlaşma kapsamında oluşturulan Kapsamlı Sistem adlı geçiş dönemi adaleti sisteminin yargısal bileşeni olan Barış İçin Özel Yargı bu tez çalışmasının odak noktasını oluşturmaktadır. Bu tez çalışmasında, öncelikle Geçiş Dönemi Adaleti kavramı incelenecek, devamında Kolombiya barış süreci kapsamında oluşturulan kapsamlı geçiş dönemi adaleti sistemine genel bir bakış sunulacaktır. En nihayetinde ise, Barış İçin Özel Yargı organının özgün ve alternatif yaptırım sistemi, bu sistemin şartları, sınırları gösterilecek; ardından başta devletin ciddi suçlarının sorumlularını cezalandırma yükümlülüğü ile barış hedefleri arasındaki denge sürecinin karmaşıklığı ışığında alternatif yaptırım sistemi olmak üzere, komuta sorumluluğu ve üçüncü taraf sorumluluğu gibi tartışmalı bazı konular incelenecektir. Çalışmanın amacı, geçiş dönemi adaleti çerçevesinde oluşturulan bu özgün yargısal sistemi ve sistemin tartışmalı bazı yönlerini inceleyerek, dünyadaki diğer çatışmalar ve geçiş süreçlerinin ardından barış inşası ve hesap verilebilirlik tartışmaları bakımından nasıl bir emsal oluşturabileceğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmada, henüz uygulama aşamasında olan bu özel yaptırım sisteminin tüm bu tartışmalı yönlerine ve eksikliklerine rağmen, hayalleri somutlaştıran, umut veren ve çözüm arayan yapısı ile ülkede istikrarlı bir barışı sağlamak için önemli bir şans olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.ABSTRACT: Transitional justice is a multidisciplinary concept that has been the subject of various discussions in the literature, which has an important role in dealing with past violations of rights in the post-conflict process and establishing a more democratic, just, and peaceful life. The armed conflict between the Colombian Government and the FARC-EP has been going on for more than fifty years and caused more than 220,000 deaths and very serious human rights violations, ended with a peace signed in 2016, after four years of negotiation process. Special Jurisdiction for Peace, which is the judicial component of the transitional justice system called the Comprehensive System established within the scope of this Agreement, constitutes the focus of this thesis. In this thesis, first of all, the concept of Transitional Justice will be examined, and then an overview of the comprehensive transitional justice system created within the scope of the Colombian peace process will be presented. Finally, the unique and alternative sanction system of the Special Judiciary for Peace, its conditions, and limits of this system will be shown; then, some controversial issues such as alternative sanction system, particularly in light of the complexity of the balancing process between the state’s obligation to punish those responsible for serious crimes and the peace objectives, command responsibility and third-party responsibility will be examined. The study aims to examine this unique judicial system created within the framework of transitional justice and some controversial aspects of this system and to reveal how it can set a precedent in terms of peacebuilding and accountability discussions after other conflicts and transition processes in the world. This study has concluded that despite the controversial aspects and deficiencies of this special sanction system, which is still in the implementation phase, it is an important chance to ensure peace in the country with its structure that embodies dreams, gives hope, and seek solutions
Working beyond pension age in Turkey: a qualitative analysis from a life course perspective
Get PDFÖZET: Emek piyasasındaki düzenlemeler ve emeklilik reformlarını kapsayan çalışma hayatının uzatılmasına yönelik politikalar ile birlikte ileri yaşta çalışmak bugünün toplumlarında bir norm haline gelmiştir. Dünyanın birçok ülkesinde olduğu gibi, Türkiye’de de giderek belirgin bir fenomene dönüşen emeklilik yaşının ötesinde çalışma olgusuna odaklanan bu araştırmanın bulguları Türkiye örneğinde katılımcıların emeklilik yaşının ötesinde çalışmaya devam etme kararlarını etkileyen faktörlerin karmaşıklığını ortaya koymaktadır. Yaşam seyrine yayılmış olan bu faktörler, refah sistemindeki ve emek piyasasındaki değişiklikler, hane halkı ihtiyaçları ve bireysel motivasyonlar gibi farklı düzlemlerde kesişmektedir. Son olarak, araştırma ileriki yaşamda çalışma anlatılarının aynı zamanda Türkiye’de yaşlılıkta gelir kaybı riskinin bireyselleştiğinin bir göstergesi olduğunu ileri sürmektedir.ABSTRACT: Working in later life is increasingly becoming the norm in contemporary societies. Current developments in labor market and pension policies have extended working lives. The literature suggests that retirement is no longer seen as a single event marking the end of paid employment, but it appears as a varied process. This leads to retirement becoming a more individualized, fragmented, and complex experience. Against this background, this research focuses on the emerging pattern of working beyond retirement age in Turkey. Based on a qualitative thematic analysis of the interviews from a life- course perspective, the findings of this thesis reveal the complexity of factors in explaining respondents’ decision to continue working beyond the retirement age in the case of Turkey. These factors, spread out over the course of life, cut across multiple levels, such as changes in the welfare system and the labor market, household needs, and individual motivations. Last but not the least, the article suggests that the narratives of working in later life are also indicative of the individualization of the risk of income loss in old age in the Turkish context
Kendinden ayarlanan rezonant modlu mikrotarayıcı kontrol sistemi
Get PDFABSTRACT: This thesis demonstrates design, implementation, and experimental results of a low-cost, and low-power one-dimensional two gimballed magnetically actuated scanner capable of unidirectional scanning with piezoresistive feedback system that can be used for bioscanning applications. The proposed exible scanner structure consists of an embedded planar electrocoil with the main fabrication material polyimide. Moreover, the system ensures real-time feedback signal by means of the graphite that is coated onto the exure for the sake of the closed-loop systems. The system is auto-tuned in order to maintain the resonant mode of the microscanner. The slight, and exible substrate material of the scanner reduces the energy consumption and performs as 1D-scanning. The optimization and characterization of the planar electrocoil embedded in the scanner, which activates the scanner by creating an electromagnetic eld with the e ect of the external magnet, has been completed. The size of the outer frame of the structure is 40 mm 40 mm, and the moving scanning surface is 15 mm 14 mm with a thickness of 150 m. In order to maximize the amount of scanner displacement and total optical scanning angle (TOSA), the positions of the system components is optimized. Polyimide-based scanner's optical scanning angle is 73:59 in slow-scan direction at the approximately 82 Hz. Moreover, the saturation point frequency from the real-time piezoresistive feedback is approximately 81 Hz. The average error rate result is a 1.2%. The proposed scanner structure is characterized and tested in various experiments using a laser doppler vibrometer setup, and a piezoresistive feedback setup
Online News Media Portrayal of ADHD on the Websites of BBC and CNN International during the COVID-19 Pandemic
Get PDFPurpose. Individuals with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have experienced exacerbated symptoms and negative effects during the pandemic on both physical and mental health. However, the leading global news websites did not cover the vulnerabilities and special needs of individuals with ADHD in the context of the neurodiversity approach. I argue that both and did not incorporate the neurodiversity approach aiming to increase acceptance and inclusion of the differences without viewing them as deficits. Methods. The present study explores online news media portrayal of ADHD during the COVID-19 pandemic through content analysis between March 2020 and October 2022. The news articles mentioning ADHD (64 from and 56 from ) were analyzed. Results. Findings show that ADHD was dominantly framed as a medical issue, far from the neurodiversity perspective. Only 13 news articles among 64 (approximately 20%) on and 4 among 56 (less than 10%) on incorporated the neurodiversity approach that would benefit both individuals with ADHD and the whole society during the pandemic. Practice Implications. The findings show a need for more awareness of neurodiversity in the news media and a broader coverage of ADHD-related neurodiversity during the pandemic
New techniques for jet calibration with the ATLAS detector
Get PDFA determination of the jet energy scale is presented using proton-proton collision data with a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 13 TeV, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 140 fb(-1) collected using the ATLAS detector at the LHC. Jets are reconstructed using the ATLAS particle-flow method that combines charged-particle tracks and topo-clusters formed from energy deposits in the calorimeter cells. The anti-kt jet algorithm with radius parameter R = 0.4 is used to define the jet. Novel jet energy scale calibration strategies developed for the LHC Run 2 are reported that lay the foundation for the jet calibration in Run 3. Jets are calibrated with a series of simulation-based corrections, including state-of-the-art techniques in jet calibration such as machine learning methods and novel in situ calibrations to achieve better performance than the baseline calibration derived using up to 81 fb(-1) of Run 2 data. The performance of these new techniques is then examined in the in situ measurements by exploiting the transverse momentum balance between a jet and a reference object. The b-quark jet energy scale using particle flow jets is measured for the first time with around 1% precision using gamma+jet events

Effects of Materialist Values and Work Centrality on Organizational Citizenship Behaviors
Get PDFThe current study investigates the effects of work centrality and materialistic values on organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs). The importance of organizational citizenship behaviors has been well documented in the management literature. Although OCBs are hard to define, researchers emphasize that these behaviors are more or less discretionary, less likely to be formally linked with organizational rewards and contribute to the organization by promoting a positive social and psychological climate. Although the accumulation of research on OCBs and related constructs is vast, materialistic values as an antecedent have received scant attention. In the current study, materialistic values and work centrality are investigated as predictors of OCB, which have inverse effects on the construct. In a cross-sectional design, 439 employees from various companies in Turkey participated in an online survey. The findings support the claim that inverse effects from work centrality and materialistic values influenced OCB. Upon deconstructing the antecedents’ impact on the dimensions of OCB, the results revealed a positive predictive effect of work centrality on helping and civic virtue. In contrast, materialistic values exerted a negative influence only on helping behaviors. Implications and future research directions are discussed in line with the findings
