Mekânin üretimini ve göçü yeniden düşünmek: İstanbul Fatih ı̇lçesi örneği
No full textIstanbul's Fatih district has rapidly transformed since the Syrian refugees started to settle as new dwellers following the forced migration flow due to the 2011 Syrian civil war. Since their collective settlements have accelerated and there has been a noticeable increase in the number of Syrian cafes, restaurants, and small businesses in the Fatih's spaces along with a number of local residents from Turkey have moved out of Fatih for new emerging urban spaces such as Basaksehir district, Fatih district has correspondingly changed its spatial relations and embedded new social and cultural parameters. As this indicates that the district is a significant constitutive and constructed phenomenon, the production of space emerges as a key analytical inquiry. This thesis focuses on this question by conducting ethnographic research. By doing so, it aims to elucidate how broader socio-political agencies intersect with micro-level local dynamics to shape the urban experience for both existing residents and newcomers. Therefore, the study aims to unveil the question of how the socio-cultural urban settings of Fatih have been produced and reproduced by existing residents and new inhabitants. This entails deciphering the multi-layered process of space production, which is constructed upon the interplay of macro and micro-level dynamics. By examining the affinitive interactions between various actors within the urban landscape, the study sheds light on the complex mechanisms driving the production and reproduction of space in Fatih. In this thesis, the close relationship of the Islamic religion with the production of space, significant migrant networks and the role of the concept of governmentality in the production of space stand out as the primary dimensions of the discussion on space and migration. These factors, which shape migrants' preferences and settlement dynamics, play a decisive role in the processes of forming their identities, feeling belonging and establishing spatial ties. Within this framework, the thesis analyzes how religious practices, as well as social, political, and economic networks, contribute to the production of space in Fatih.İstanbul'un Fatih ilçesi, 2011'de başlayan Suriye iç savaşının ardından Suriyeli göçmenlerin yoğun göç dalgasıyla birlikte hızla dönüşüm geçirmiştir. Fatih'e yeni gelen Suriyeli sakinlerin yoğun yerleşimi ve aynı dönemde, birçok yerel sakinin Başakşehir gibi yeni kentsel mekânlara taşınması, ilçenin mekânsal dinamiklerini değiştirmiş, yeni sosyal ve kültürel parametreler oluşturmuştur. Bu değişim, Fatih'i mekânın üretimi ve yeniden üretimi üzerinden çok katmanlı bir analiz için güçlü bir örnek haline getirmiştir. Bu tez, etnografik bir yaklaşımla, katılımcıların deneyimlerinden ortaya çıkan tema ve örüntüleri inceleyerek bu dönüşümün altında yatan dinamikleri açığa çıkarmaktadır. Daha geniş sosyo-politik yapılar ile günlük yaşam pratiklerinin kesişim noktalarını ele alarak, mevcut sakinler ve yeni gelen göçmenler için kentsel deneyimin nasıl şekillendiğini analiz etmektedir. Çalışma, Fatih'in sosyo-kültürel kentsel ortamının mevcut sakinler ve göçmenler tarafından nasıl üretildiği ve yeniden üretildiğini çözümlemektedir. Bu bağlamda, tez, mekânın üretimini makro ve mikro düzeydeki süreçlerin etkileşimi ile değerlendiren çok katmanlı bir çözümleme sunmaktadır. Fatih'teki farklı aktörlerin gündelik etkileşimlerini inceleyerek, mekânın üretimini ve yeniden üretimini şekillendiren karmaşık mekanizmaları açıklığa kavuşturmaktadır. Bu çerçevede, İslam'ın mekân üretimindeki rolü, güçlü göçmen ağlarının etkisi ve yönetimsellik kavramı, Fatih özelinde mekân ve göç ilişkisini anlamlandırmak için temel boyutlar olarak öne çıkmaktadır
Just kidding? Exploring the role of traditional versus counter-traditional gender role jokes on gender identity threat
No full textWhile traditional gender roles have been examined in the context of online communication, less is known about the implications of encountering counter-traditional gender roles (e.g., depicting men as caring and women as independent) on social media. We investigated participants' perceived gender identity threat upon exposure to traditional versus counter-traditional gender role jokes that targeted either men or women. An online experiment (N = 265) using a 2 (content: traditional versus counter-traditional gender roles) by 2 (joke's target gender: men versus women) by 2 (participant's gender: man versus woman) mixed design demonstrated that overall, jokes targeting women elicited greater identity threat and women perceived greater identity threat than men. Moreover, the three-way interactions showed that women, in particular, perceived greater identity threat from traditional gender role jokes targeting women. The current study highlights the damaging role of the spread of traditional gender roles through humor, particularly for women's gender identities
Gelı̇şmekte olan pazarlarda ı̇novasyonun C02 emı̇syonu üzerı̇ndekı̇ etkı̇sı̇
No full textThe research sought to investigate the effect innovation has on C02 emission in emerging markets. The study examined the relationship between innovation and C02 emissions in emerging markets and examined the presence of innovation Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC). The research design employed in the study was an explanatory and quantitative study. The research considered the emerging markets as classified by the S&P Dow Jones indices. There are a total of 23 emerging markets according to this index. The sample of 15 countries were used for the study due to data availability. This research mainly used secondary data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) database respective to each of the 15 countries. The study used a panel data to estimate the model, which comprises of time series and cross-sectional data to deal with variations across countries and over time. The empirical relations were analysed using the fixed effects model. The study found that the relationship between innovation and C02 emission yielded a negative result which implies that advancement in innovation leads to a reduction in C02 emission. After squaring innovation to establish the presence of innovation Environmental Kuznets Curve, the results shows that investment in innovation does not lead to an inverted "U" shaped curve, thus it leads to a reduction in emissions however after a certain threshold, further investments may result in diminishing returns.Araştırma, inovasyonun gelişmekte olan piyasalarda C02 emisyonu üzerindeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışma, gelişmekte olan piyasalarda inovasyon ve C02 emisyonları arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemiş ve inovasyonun Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisi'nin (EKC) varlığını incelemiştir. Çalışmada kullanılan araştırma tasarımı açıklayıcı ve nicel bir çalışmadır. Araştırma, S&P Dow Jones endeksleri tarafından sınıflandırılan gelişmekte olan piyasaları dikkate almıştır. Bu endekse göre toplam 23 gelişmekte olan piyasa bulunmaktadır. Veri mevcudiyeti nedeniyle çalışma için 15 ülke örneklemi kullanılmıştır. Bu araştırmada esas olarak 15 ülkenin her birine ilişkin Dünya Kalkınma Göstergeleri (WDI) veri tabanından elde edilen ikincil veriler kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada modeli tahmin etmek için panel veri kullanılmış olup, ülkeler arasındaki ve zaman içindeki değişimleri ele almak için zaman serisi ve yatay kesit verilerinden oluşmaktadır. Ampirik ilişkiler sabit etkiler modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışma, inovasyon ve C02 emisyonu arasındaki ilişkinin negatif bir sonuç verdiğini ortaya koymuştur; bu da inovasyondaki ilerlemenin C02 emisyonunda bir azalmaya yol açtığı anlamına gelmektedir. İnovasyon Çevresel Kuznets Eğrisinin varlığını tespit etmek için inovasyonun karesi alındıktan sonra, sonuçlar inovasyona yapılan yatırımın ters "U" şeklinde bir eğriye yol açmadığını, dolayısıyla emisyonlarda bir azalmaya yol açtığını, ancak belirli bir eşikten sonra daha fazla yatırımın azalan getirilerle sonuçlanabileceğini göstermektedir
Changes in the spheres of influence in Kazakhstan after the outbreak of the Ukraine War in 2022
Get PDFThis report provides the reasons for the change in Kazakhstan’s spheres of influence following the outbreak of war in Ukraine in 2022. It focuses on the economic aspects of the spheres of influence and the influence of Russia, China, Türkiye, and the E.U. The central thesis is that Russia has expanded its influence in Kazakhstan as dual-use goods are transported through the country. The analysis is based on the theory of a “negotiated hegemon,” which depicts Russia as a hegemon in Kazakhstan whose influence is limited by negotiations with Kazakhstan. The results show Russia has political and military influence, while the E.U. dominates economically. China’s influence is less than expected, and Türkiye has the least influence before and after the war in Ukraine. Kazakhstan is trying to balance Russia’s growing influence through global relations and cooperation with other actors while building trade relations with Russia within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union
Personal and social factors as a determinate of adolescent smoking
Get PDFBackground: Personal and social difficulties are key contributors to smoking during adolescence. Thisstudy examined personal and social factors that influence adolescent smoking. In all the study examinedgender, perception of academic success, relationship between students’ teaching-students relationship,and adolescent smoking.
Method: Data used for this study are a portion of a large cross-sectional archival survey data titled “Aquestionnaire for high-school students on cigarette-alcohol-substance use” that was collected in 2018among three high-school types (Anadolu High School, Imam Hatip High School, and Vocation highschool) in Bagcilar, Istanbul. We examined the association between personal factors, social factors, andadolescent smoking by using the Spearman correlation and chi-square test of independence.
Findings: Of all the variables irrespective of the influence of school types, the results found a link betweennegative perception of academic success, teacher–student relationships, peer relationships, and gender onadolescent smoking. More specifically, a negative perception of academic success was found to influenceadolescent smoking in vocational high schools, while teacher–student relationships, and gender werefound to influence adolescent smoking in Imam Hatip high schools. The only variable that was found toinfluence adolescent smoking in Anadolu high schools was peer relationship pressures

Araştırmanın temel iddiası, Sabri Paşa’nın gelenek ile yenilik arasında bir denge kurarak, klasik şiir mirasını çağdaş duyarlılıkla harmanlayan özgün bir şiir anlayışını temsil ettiğidir. Çalışmada nitel çözümleme yöntemi esas alınmış; şairin mersiye, gazel, hiciv, toplumcu ve vatanî şiirleri yapısal, tematik ve anlatı düzeyinde teknik açıdan incelenmiştir. Şiir başlıkları, olay veya tema kurgusu, bakış açısı, bağlam/zaman-mekân unsurları, anlatım teknikleri ve üslup özellikleri bakımından detaylı bir çözümleme sunulmuştur. İsmail Sabri'nin şiirlerinde bedii unsurların yanı sıra klasik nazım kalıplarına bağlılık, tasvir gücü, içsel monologlar ve mecazlı anlatım dikkat çeker. Şairin dili sade fakat estetik açıdan yoğun bir yapı arz eder; bireysel duygularla toplumsal meseleleri iç içe geçiren bir üslup göze çarpar. Özellikle Abbasî ve geç klasik dönemden izler taşımasına rağmen, belirli dönemlere sıkışmadan geçmişle moderni buluşturan kontrollü bir yenilikçiliği benimsemiştir.This study aims to analyze the literary position and aesthetic orientation of the Egyptian poet Ismail Sabri Pasha within the context of the revival and literary renaissance movements of the modern era. The central thesis argues that Sabri represents a unique poetic vision that balances tradition and innovation, combining the classical legacy of Arabic poetry with a sensitivity to the cultural transformations of his time. The research adopts a qualitative analytical approach, focusing on Sabri’s elegiac, lyrical, satirical, social, and patriotic poems. These works are examined in terms of their structural, thematic, and narrative dimensions, including an analysis of poem titles, thematic and narrative construction, perspective, spatiotemporal context, linguistic style, and expressive techniques. Sabri’s poetry is characterized by aesthetic elements such as metaphor, vivid imagery, inner monologues, and classical prosody. His language remains clear and artistically refined, merging personal emotion with societal concerns. While his work bears the influence of the Abbasid and late classical traditions, Sabri does not confine himself to any specific literary era. Instead, he embraces a form of controlled innovation that bridges the gap between the classical and the modern
İşe alımda algoritmik ayrımcılık
Get PDFAlgoritmalar ayırımcı olabilir mi?2 Aslında uzunca bir zamandır biz bu soru üzerine düşünüyoruz. Hatta özellikle de Filistin’le ilgili mesele sonrasında konu daha çok gündeme gelmeye başladı. Ben her ne kadar iş hukuku boyutunda konuyu ele alacaksam da özellikle sosyal medyada uygulanan algoritmalar belirli seçimler üzerinden işliyor ve aslında bireylerin görüşlerini, fikirlerini bir nevi yönlendiriyor diyebiliriz. Hepimiz, bir dijitalleşme panoptikonunun içerisinde yaşıyoruz. Gerek kişisel görüşlerimiz gerek fikirlerimiz gerek ise kimliğimizle çok fazla göz önündeyiz. Yapılan araştırmalar gösteriyor ki, pek çok ülkede algoritmaların ayırımcı olabilmesine ilişkin aslında tereddütler var. Fakat özellikle insan kaynakları alanında Türkiye’de yapılan çalışmalar, algoritmalara karşı duyulan güvenin nispeten daha yüksek olduğunu göstermekte ki, algoritmalara sanki biz biraz daha fazla güveniyoruz. Bireyin devre dışı bırakılması, sanki daha tarafsız, daha doğru ve daha önyargısız bir seçimmiş gibi algılanabiliyor. Oysa durum böyle değil. Makineler, teknoloji ve algoritmalar doğası gereği önyargısız değildir, çünkü hepsinin arkasında insan etkisi vardır..
Stablecoins and emerging market currencies: A time-varying analysis
Get PDFPurpose: Owing to the growing evidence of crypto asset connectedness and correlation with traditional financial assets, this study sought to determine if there is a time-varying correlation and/or connectedness between the stablecoin market and the currencies of emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) with significant cryptocurrency penetration. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA) to create stablecoin and EMDEs currency returns and volatility indices for EMDEs with significant cryptocurrency penetration. We then employ a time-varying correlation and time-varying parameter vector autoregressive (TVP-VAR) connectedness measures to document the time-dependent correlation and connectedness between the EMDE currencies and the stablecoin market. Findings: The result points to a spillover of return shocks from the EMDE currencies to the stablecoin market prior to and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This is indicative of a flight-to-safety role of stablecoins for EMDE currencies. This calls for increased attention to the stablecoin market by money market investors and monetary authorities. Originality/value: The paper contributes to the growing cryptocurrency and finance literature by empirically examining the level of connectedness between stablecoins and emerging market currencies. Knowing the relationship (correlation) and shock spillover (connectedness) between the stablecoins and the EMDE currencies will be valuable to currency investors’ diversification and hedging strategies, and to macroeconomic policymakers in designing and implementing regulation
Mass expert group decision-making based on q-learning and molecular fuzzy logic for floating renewable energy materials investments
Get PDFFloating renewable energy systems refer to energy projects deployed on water surfaces, playing a vital role in future energy strategies by promoting the use of sustainable resources. These systems reduce dependency on fossil fuels, meet growing energy demands, and ensure energy security by enabling countries to produce their own energy. The performance of these investments is influenced by technical and environmental factors. Despite their importance, there is a lack of comprehensive studies identifying the most critical factors affecting performance, creating a gap in the literature. This study addresses this gap by developing an innovative decision-making model using information gain, Q-learning, molecular fuzzy cognitive maps, and molecular ranking techniques. Hence, the main purpose is to identify the most critical determinants and optimal strategies for floating renewable energy investments, providing valuable guidance for decision-makers and investors. The study contributes to the literature by providing a structured criterion set for decision-makers. The findings obtained from the study highlight the optimization of areas with multiple uses. According to this criterion, it is possible to use other energy systems in an area other than floating systems. This situation also brings a cost advantage. It also supports purposes such as environmental protection and preventing water waste. Another important criterion, environmental integration, is to create an energy production system that is compatible with the living creatures living here by protecting the natural ecosystem on the water surface where the floating systems will be installed. Furthermore, it introduces novel methodologies that are rarely used in existing studies, such as calculating expert importance weights and modelling complex factor interactions. By addressing these gaps, the study offers both theoretical and practical advancements, ensuring more efficient and sustainable investment strategies in floating renewable energy systems. It is concluded that space optimization with multi-use potential and environmental integration with ecosystem protection are found as the most critical determinants. Tidal energy systems and wave energy converters are the most effective investment alternatives
