Sınır Ötesi Tele-psikiyatri Uygulamalarına Hukuki Bir Bakış
No full textCovid-19 salgını, bireylerin eve kapanması noktasında teknolojinin itici gücü ile beraber muazzam şekilde teknolojinin imkanlarından faydalanılmasına zemin yaratmıştır. Bu konuda en önemli gelişmelerden birisi, pandeminin de etkisi ile doktor ve hastaneye fiziken ulaşma imkânı olan kişilerin özellikle tele-tıp uygulamalarına gösterdikleri rağbetin de artmasıdır. Psikiyatri ise, tıpta özel bir uzmanlık alanı olup özellikle işbu çalışmada da detaylı şekilde irdelendiği üzere tele-psikiyatri özellikle tele-tıp uygulamaları açısından sıklıkla tercih edilen yöntemlerden birisidir. Bu çalışmada özellikle dünyada ve Türkiye’de hızla gelişmekte olan sınır ötesi tele-psikiyatri uygulamaları ve bu kavramla bağlantılı farklı hukuki meseleler özellikle doktrin görüşmeleri ve uygulamadaki güncel bazı durumlar da ele alınarak irdelenmiştir.The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, along with the driving force of technology at the point of spending time at their homes, has created the basis for making tremendous use of the possibilities of technology. One of the most important developments in this regard has been the increase in the demand of people for tele-medicine applications who do not have the opportunity to reach doctors in person, due to the impact of the pandemic. Psychiatry is a special area of expertise in medicine and, tele-psychiatry has been one of the most preferred methods especially in terms of tele-medicine. In this study, legal issues related to cross-border tele-psychiatry applications and other important concepts in connection with tele-psychiatry in Turkey and the world have been reviewed taking into consideration of concrete examples and as well as doctrine opinions

Exploring Individual Differences in Infants' Looking Preferences for Impossible Events: the Early Multidimensional Curiosity Scale
No full textInfants are drawn to events that violate their expectations about the world: they look longer at physically impossible events, such as when a car passes through a wall. Here, we examined whether individual differences in infants' visual preferences for physically impossible events reflect an early form of curiosity, and asked whether caregivers' behaviors, parenting styles, and everyday routines relate to these differences. In Study 1, we presented infants (N = 47, M-age = 16.83 months, range = 10.29-24.59 months) with events that violated physical principles and closely matched possible events. We measured infants' everyday curiosity and related experiences (i.e., caregiver curiosity-promoting activities) through a newly developed curiosity scale, The Early Multidimensional Curiosity Scale (EMCS). Infants' looking preferences for physically impossible events were positively associated with their score on the EMCS, but not their temperament, vocabulary, or caregiver trait curiosity. In Study 2A, we set out to better understand the relation between the EMCS and infants' looking preferences for physically impossible events by assessing the underlying structure of the EMCS with a larger sample of children (N = 211, M-age = 47.63 months, range = 10.29-78.97 months). An exploratory factor analysis revealed that children's curiosity was comprised four factors: Social Curiosity, Broad Exploration, Persistence, and Information-Seeking. Relatedly, caregiver curiosity-promoting activities were composed of five factors: Flexible Problem-Solving, Cognitive Stimulation, Diverse Daily Activities, Child-Directed Play, and Awe-Inducing Activities. In Study 2B (N = 42 infants from Study 1), we examined which aspects of infant curiosity and caregiver behavior predicted infants' looking preferences using the factor structures of the EMCS. Findings revealed that infants' looking preferences were uniquely related to infants' Broad Exploration and caregivers' Awe-Inducing Activities (e.g., nature walks with infants, museum outings). These exploratory findings indicate that infants' visual preferences for physically impossible events may reflect an early form of curiosity, which is related to the curiosity-stimulating environments provided by caregivers. Moreover, this work offers a new comprehensive tool, the Early Multidimensional Curiosity Scale, that can be used to measure both curiosity and factors related to its development, starting in infancy and extending into childhood
Performing Disc Personal Inventory Analysis in Job Postings Using Artificial Intelligence Methods
No full textOne of the application fields of DISC selfevaluation analysis was introduced to predict people's performance and orientation in their working life. Each letter in the word DISC represents an essential personal characteristic, dividing the profiles of people in business life into four essential parts. In the current study, DISC analysis is conducted on job postings to match the person with the job posting. The current study was based on the analysis of 3 different datasets with job postings in English, Turkish and Romanian prepared by using web scraping methods and then labeled in accordance with DISC criteria. Several different machine learning algorithms have been performed on the DISC analysis outputs, and they reached the best results with accuracy values of around over 96% on the English dataset, around over 95% on the Turkish dataset, and around over 96% on the Romanian dataset, for both D, I, S, C models
Assessing Mathematical Higher-Order Thinking Skills: an Analysis of Turkish University Entrance Examinations
No full textThe authors would like to thank the editors and anonymous reviewers who provided helpful feedback on earlier drafts. Their valuable comments led us to put our heart and soul into the challenge of improving the manuscript during the hard times of COVID-19 quarantine.Internationally, mathematics education reform has been directed toward characterizing educational goals that go beyond topic/content/skill descriptions and develop students’ problem solving. The Revised Bloom’s Taxonomy and MATH (Mathematical Assessment Task Hierarchy) Taxonomy characterize such goals. University entrance examinations have been seen as one way of accomplishing these goals and influence learning, teaching, and assessment in mathematics. The present study analyzed mathematics items (N = 1077) in Turkish university entrance examinations in 1998-2013 and objectives (N = 621) in mathematics curricula in 2005, 2011, and 2013 to determine the extent to which they represent the dimensions/categories of these taxonomies and the degree to which items are aligned with objectives in terms of reflecting the dimensions/categories of these taxonomies. The findings reveal that the items demand, to a large extent, automated computational skills; this is also evident in the relevant mathematics curricula. Implications for practice are discussed and could play a role in reforming assessment. © 2023 The Author(s). Published with license by Taylor ; Francis Group, LLC

Suriye İç Savaşının Dinamikleri ve Koruma Sorumluluğu Doktrini Çerçevesinde Avrupa Birliği'nin Suriye İç Savaşına Yaklaşımı
No full textThis study analysis the intricacies of the Syrian Civil War and the involvement of the European Union (EU) through the perspective of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. In the study, the emergence of the Arab Spring in the process leading to the civil war and its impact on the region, especially the Arab culture and the factors that fueled the uprisings are examined. The text proceeds to explore the genesis of the Arab Spring and its ramifications for the area, particularly the Arab civilization and the catalysts that propelled the revolts. This study charts the progression of the Syrian Civil War from its initial nonviolent demonstrations to its present state, with a focus on significant phases such as the Assad administration, the emergence of extremist factions such as Daesh, and the participation of Kurdish organizations such as the PKK, SDG, and YPG. The thesis delves into an examination of the definitions and attributes of terrorism as outlined in Turkish legislation as well as in international law and the European Union. An evaluation is conducted of the ramifications of the war and the present state of affairs. The present study delves into the notion of "responsibility to protect" and its implementation in averting extensive human rights transgressions. The text furnishes a comprehensive outline of the European Union's framework, fundamental principles, and function within the global arena. This thesis examines the extent of the European Union's participation in the Syrian Civil War while considering the ramifications of the conflict's aftermath for the EU. This study analyses the process by when the European Union (EU) became a participant in the Syrian conflict, assesses the consequences of its intervention, and provides recommendations for the EU to attain its foreign policy objectives in Syria. Based on the aforementioned conclusion, it is apparent that the European Union's execution of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle in the context of the Syrian Civil War is confronted with noteworthy obstacles and constraints. The primary impediments include divergent national interests, intricate decision-making processes, shifting demographics, increasing conservative and fascist ideologies, and challenges in collaborating with Turkey. The thesis posits a series of measures aimed at augmenting the efficacy of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine within the European Union (EU). These measures include the cultivation of intervention capabilities, the reconciliation of the disparity between verbal commitments and practical implementation, the promotion of solidarity among member states, and the resolution of the underlying causes of conflicts. In general, this study enhances comprehension of the Syrian Civil War and the European Union's involvement in accordance with the Responsibility to Protect doctrine. The text sheds light on the intricate and restrictive circumstances encountered by the European Union and puts forward suggestions for the EU to enhance its efficacy as a participant in safeguarding human rights and promoting its foreign policy goals in Syria.Bu tez, Suriye İç Savaşı'nın dinamiklerini ve Avrupa Birliği'nin (AB) müdahalesini Koruma Sorumluluğu (R2P) ilkesi perspektifinden incelemektedir.

Tez aynı zamanda hem Türk hukukunda hem de uluslararası hukuk ve AB'ye göre terörizmin tanımlarını ve özelliklerini incelemektedir. Savaşın sonuçları ve mevcut durum değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma ayrıca Koruma Sorumluluğu kavramını ve bu kavramın büyük ölçekli insan hakları ihlallerinin önlenmesindeki uygulamalarını incelemektedir. AB'nin yapısı, temel değerleri ve uluslararası sistemdeki rolü hakkında genel bir bakış sunmaktadır. Bu tez, AB'nin Suriye İç Savaşı'na müdahil olma sürecini, savaşın sonuçlarının AB üzerindeki etkisini de dikkate alarak analiz etmektedir. AB'nin çatışmaya nasıl taraf olduğunu incelemekte, müdahil olmasının sonuçlarını değerlendirmekte ve AB'nin Suriye'deki dış politika hedeflerine ulaşması için öneriler sunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, AB'nin Suriye İç Savaşı'nda Koruma Sorumluluğu'nu uygulamasının önemli zorluklar ve kısıtlamalarla karşı karşıya olduğu açıktır. Farklı ulusal çıkarlar, karmaşık karar alma mekanizmaları, değişen demografik yapı, yükselen muhafazakâr ve faşist duygular ve Türkiye ile iş birliğindeki zorluklar başlıca engeller arasındadır. Bu tezde, Koruma Sorumluluğu Doktrini' nin AB içindeki etkinliğini artırmak için müdahale kabiliyetlerinin geliştirilmesi, söylem ve eylem arasındaki uçurumun kapatılması, üye devletler arasında birliğin teşvik edilmesi ve çatışmaların temel nedenlerinin ele alınması gibi adımlar önerilmektedir. Genel olarak bu araştırma, Suriye İç Savaşı'nın ve AB'nin Koruma Sorumluluğu ilkesi çerçevesindeki müdahalesinin anlaşılmasına katkıda bulunmaktadır. AB'nin karşılaştığı karmaşıklıkları ve kısıtlamaları vurgulamakta ve AB'nin Suriye'de insan haklarını koruma ve dış politika hedeflerini ilerletme konusunda daha etkili bir aktör olması için tavsiyeler sunmaktadır
Turkey's Green Imagination: the Spatiality of the Low-Carbon Energy Transition Within the Eu Green Deal
No full textStiftung Mercator; German Federal Foreign Office; Centre for Applied T urkey Studies (CATS) at Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik; international network of think tanks and research institutions working on TurkeyThis article was produced in the framework of the CATS Network project ?Environmental Geopolitics in the Southern Mediterranean: The Potential for Cooperation between Turkey, Egypt and Israel?, funded by Stiftung Mercator and the German Federal Foreign Office. The Centre for Applied T urkey Studies (CATS) at Stiftung Wissenschaft und Politik (SWP) in Berlin is the curator of CATS Network, an international network of think tanks and research institutions working on Turkey.This article asks the extent to which the EU Green Deal influences the EU periphery today and builds on the spatial conditions of multiple, co-existing decarbonization pathways within the EU Green Deal while problematizing the 'green imagination' of Turkey as an immediate neighbour and a candidate country for membership in the EU. As such, it uncovers that the current low-carbon transition process in Turkey is prone to be shaped by the highly politicized energy market in an authoritarian neoliberal structure on the one hand, and Turkey's priorities in energy issues and hard security on the other. The findings further reveal that Turkey's efforts to use more domestic energy resources to meet its consumption needs might also interfere with its efforts and obligations to decarbonize its energy sector. The scrutiny into the low-carbon energy transition in Turkey accordingl contributes further insight into the consequences of the spatiality of such transitions in an authoritarian neoliberal context, and what other alternative policies can be imagined and put in practice. Thus, more empirical research is warranted to reveal the spatiality of the low-carbon energy transition across various geographical settings. At the same time, the article argues that both the EU and its partners such as Turkey should be weary of creating green utopias when redesigning their green-energy space since utopias tout court may not always stimulate large-scale change in a revolutionary way in terms of sustainability, feasibility, good practice, and inclusiveness in decision-making processes

Institutional Quality and Geography of Discontent in the Eu
No full textThere has been a significant rise in anti-establishment votes in the European Union (EU). The decline in socio-economic outcomes and migration played an important role in understanding the rising discontent. However, none of the existing studies analysed the effect of socio-economic factors in different institutional settings. Our findings confirm that institutional quality is of paramount importance in explaining the recent rise in populism in the EU, as institutionally developed EU regions are less opposed to EU integration. Remarkably, the effects of socio-economic factors on populist votes vary in different institutional settings. The findings highlight that institutional improvements are vital for the EU perception of less developed and socio-economically isolated EU regions
