    Governing immigrant healthcare:perspective of Turkish healthcare specialists in Istanbul

    Get PDF
    Istanbul has become one of the most immigrant-populated cities due to the recent migratory flows. In this thesis, I aim to explore understandings of Turkish healthcare specialists involving in public and mental healthcare delivery to immigrants in Istanbul. I analyze my ethnographic inquiry to search for how healthcare services are introduced, promoted and delivered to Syrian immigrant population residing in Istanbul. I examine the governing power of healthcare providers by focusing on the subjectivities constructed through technologies of governmentality such as regular medical examinations, healthcare training, immunization program, and therapy. In line with that, I argue the affirmative strategies developed to respond to immigrant patients and othering produced in immigrant healthcare delivery extends beyond the profession. Lastly, I focus EU-funds for health-related projects for immigrants conducted by local partners as a technology that facilitates “governing at a distance”.CONTENTS: ABSTRACT ..................................................................................................................... iv ÖZ .................................................................................................................................. v ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ............................................................................................... vii TABLE OF CONTENTS .................................................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................ x 1.INTRODUCTION ....................................................................................................... 11 1.1.

    Osmanlılar konut mimarisinde kendi inanç, anlayış, kültür ve birikimleriyle kendilerine özgü konut tipini oluşturmuşlardır. Osmanlı / Türk evi konusunda yapılan araştırmalarda farklı özellikler ve etkenler dikkate alınarak “Osmanlı Evi, Türk evi, Anadolu evi, geleneksel Türk evi’’ gibi tanımlamalar yapılmıştır. Bu evlerin ortak birtakım özellikleri olmakla beraber inşa edildikleri coğrafya, topoğrafya, iklim, malzeme, arsa biçimlenmeleri, ekonomik durum vb. nedenlerle farklılıklar gösterdiği görülmektedir. Bu çalışma kapsamında, Osmanlı / Türk evi ekonomik ve ekolojik etkenler bağlamında incelenecektir. Osmanlı / Türk evi ekonomik faktörler çerçevesinde ele alındığında, üretim yapılan bir mekân olduğu görülmektedir. Oda, bahçe, mutfak ve varsa ahır üretim yapılan evin alt birimleridir. Evin şekillenmesini belirleyen en önemli etkenlerden biri ekonomik imkânlardır. Osmanlı / Türk evinin yapısını dönemin veya konut sahibinin ekonomik durumu etkilediği görülmektedir. Yapılan araştırmalarda zenginlerin evlerinin çok katlı ve çok odalı, kullanılan malzemenin kalitesi ve çeşitliliği dönemin süsleme üsluplarına sahip olması ekonomik etkenlerin konut mimarisine yansıması olarak\ud değerlendirilebilir. Ekolojik faktörler çerçevesinde Osmanlı / Türk evi ele alındığı zaman ise; enerji etkin konut tasarımı çözümlerine örnek teşkil edebilecek ekolojik olarak tasarlandığı görülmektedir. Konutta kullanılan malzemenin coğrafyaya en uygun malzemelerden seçilmesi, gün ışığını yeterli şekilde iç mekana alması, plan tipleri, pencere, kapı ve malzemelerde standartların olması, oda-sofa ve oda-bahçe ilişkileri, çevreye olan atıkların en aza indirilmesi kısacası ekonomik ve ekolojik etkenler göz ardı edilmeden inşa edilmiştir. İç mekânda çok sayıda işlevin aynı anda gerçekleşmesi mekân kurgusu ve kullanımı olarak günümüz konut tasarımı ile karşılaştırıldığı zaman arazi, plan yerleşimi ve mobilya kullanımı açısından çok fonksiyonlu ve modüler olması, mekânsal kullanım açısından ekonomiyi beraberinde getirmektedir. Çalışmada Osmanlı / Türk evi arazi kullanımı, malzeme, plan kurgusu, iç ve dış mekan ilişkileri ekonomik ve ekolojik etkenler bağlamında incelenmişti

    Born-global Firms’ export performance considering innovation, business relations and country-level contextual factors : an analysis using GEM data from 2008 to 2015

    No full text
    The concept of early internationalization created a new type of entrepreneur that is called a born-global. In today's world, every other individual is aiming to be a successful entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs can perform better if provided with necessary resources. What makes born-global successful or what factors contribute to the success of born-global? Considering the high failure rates for all types of entrepreneurs, we conceptualize a research model where we test to what degree born-global firms benefit from various factors such as innovation, business relations and country-level context on success as measured by export. In testing our research hypotheses, we compose a data-set covering more than 70 economies globally drawn from GEM data and apply multiple linear regression and hierarchical linear models. Our findings suggest that firm innovation and country contexts interact with firm age on firm exports. Besides, existing business relations of the entrepreneur also significantly affect success controlling for various entrepreneurial and business characteristics including entrepreneurial experience, fear of failure, startup skills, and industry. Our results shed light on the literature on how innovation, business relations, and country context interact on the success of born-global making several implications for policymakers, entrepreneurs.

    Ambassadors, spies, captives, merchants and travelers : Ottoman information networks in the East, 1736-1747

    Get PDF
    This thesis sheds light on the Ottoman information networks in the East during the reign of Nadir Shah in Iran. It emphasizes singular cases of agencies who convey (and process) information, such as ambassadors, spies, captives, merchants, couriers, and travelers, but with due effort to depict the clear and implicit connections and links among them. The study is limited to the period when Nadir Shah reigned in Iran from 1736 to 1747, because the intensity of the developments and contacts in this interesting period provides an opportunity to investigate the sources and agents of information with due attention to detail. The study emphasizes Ottoman agents but it makes room for the voices, views and actions of Iranian and other actors as well. The thesis is based mainly on Ottoman sources but benefits from other sources as well. Its main focus is on Anatolia, Iraq, the Hedjaz, Iran, and India, and on individuals who were in contact with the Ottoman central and local officials. The research combines descriptive and analytical approaches. The descriptive side of the study aims to show how and when intelligence arrived in Istanbul. In the process, it introduces new or hitherto neglected Ottoman sources and agents as well. Münif’s ambassadorial report on Iran and Müteferrika’s Zeyl-i Tarih-i Seyyah are cases in point. Careful assessment of the available information helps correct some chronological and geographical mistakes in the current literature and draw attention to incoherent narratives in the primary sources. At the analytical level, this research points to the tensions and complexities of policy making. It points to friendly or hostile relations among certain Ottoman agents and how two political factions, led by Ahmed Paşa and Hacı Beşir Ağa, respectively, influenced the making of the Ottoman government’s Iran policy in the 1730s and 1740s.CONTENTS: Abstract ................................................................................................................... iv Öz ............................................................................................................................ vi Dedication ............................................................................................................. viii Acknowledgements ................................................................................................. ix Table of Contents ..................................................................................................... xi List of Tables .......................................................................................................... xiv List of Diagrams ................................................................................................... xviii List of Maps ........................................................................................................... xix List of Figures .......................................................................................................... xx Abbreviations......................................................................................................... xxi Notes on Dates and Transliteration ....................................................................... xxv CHAPTERS 1.

    A reevaluation of the politics of Düzce uprisings against Ankara during the national struggle period

    Get PDF
    This study investigates the rebellion of Düzce in a flexible chronology, from wide range of documents. Its claim is that the rebellion of Düzce was not simply a reactionary royalist movement against parliamentarists, to which religious fanaticism, ignorance, and enmity against progress at the minds of rebels ignited; it was a result of chronic social, administrative and security problems in the local context. Düzce was a little village at the edge of İstanbul’s periphery until the mid-nineteenth century. The migration waves triggered by Ottoman withdrawal from the Caucasia and the Balkans, and the Russian advance in the North transformed this little village into a populous town. The town had multilingual, multicultural and multi-ethnical structure. It was a challenge for the officers of modernizing Ottoman state to organize the immigrant settlements and the new chaotic structure of the town. Public security had been under threat since 1880s, because of the diversity of the population, and the clashes among communities in the local context. From 1908 on, the social incoherence in the town became the context of political opposition against the Committee of Union and Progress. The disasters of Great War caused the opposition in town to integrate with the revanchist politics of the Liberal Entente Party after the armistice of Mudros. The North Caucasian communities in the region rejected to support Grand National Assembly, and they rebelled against the opening of GNA. In the fall of 1920, the rebellion ended and the rebels confirmed to the GNA rule.CONTENTS: Abstract iv Öz vi Dedication viii Acknowledgements ix Table of Contents x CHAPTERS 1. INTRODUCTION 1 1.1.
