TBMM’de Grubu Bulunan Partilerin Seçim Programlarının İdeolojiler Açısından Analizi
Full text linkBirey ve toplum refahını gerçekleştirmek üzere teori ve kuramlar ileri süren ideolojiler dünyada yaşanan değişim ve dönüşümlere göre şekil almaktadır. Bazıları güncelliğini korumakla birlikte bazıları kendilerine gösterilen ilgiyi kaybetmiştir. İdeoloji referanslı siyasal söylemler, siyasetçilerin belli bir seçmen kitlesine değil de, bütün seçmenlere yönelik çalışmalarıdır. Seçmen beklenti ve isteklerinin öneminin günümüzde daha da artması nedeniyle seçmen ilişkileri temel olarak siyasetçilerin tüm söylemlerini etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle artan siyasal rekabet koşularında, seçmen-siyasetçi ilişkilerine ve siyasal söylemlerin neler getirip neler götürebileceğine dair partilerin ve adayların bilgilendirilmelerine özellikle önem verilmelidir. Siyasal çekişmelerin ve parti sayılarının çok olduğu ülkemizde, büyük seçmen kitlelerine sahip partilerde yarışma, küçük partilere oranla çok daha ince çizgilerde gidip gelmektedir. Ülkemizde son yıllarda seçmen ihtiyaçlarına daha fazla önem verildiği ve partilerin söylemlerini bu doğrultuda oluşturdukları görülmektedir. Bu nedenle partilerin daha başarılı olabilmesi için seçmen ilişkilerine daha çok önem verilmesi; parti içi eğitim ve seminer programlarıyla adayların yetiştirilmesi niteliğinde olan gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada ülkemizde 7 Haziran 2015 genel seçimi ile bu seçimin tekrarı olan 1 Kasım 2015 genel seçimlerinde TBMM'de grubu bulunan siyasi partilerin, parti programları ile internet sayfalarından derlenen verilere göre seçim sürecindeki söylemleri ve bu söylemlerin ideolojik orjinleri hakkında bir araştırma yapılmıştır
Comparative Advantage of Turkish Olive Oil in Global Markets: An Empirical Analysis
Full text linkPurpose: This study aims to reveal the comparative advantage of the selected countries in olive oil industry. These selected countries are the main olive oil producers and mainly located in Mediterranean Seacoast. Spain, Italy, Greece and Turkey will be the subject countries in this analysis and compared with each other in terms of their export performance and comparative advantage in olive oil industry globally. Olive oil industry has a volume of around 20 billion Euros every year. Design/methodology/approach: The data for the research was collected from mainly World Bank and trade ministries of subject countries. Revealed Comparative advantage Index (RCA) is used to compare the advantage of these countries in olive oil industry. These indexes found in this analysis will be added to the olive oil RCA indexes of these countries that are found in the previous researches. The obtained data were analyzed through RCA Index formula modeling. Findings:Consuming olive oil is increasing day by day over the world. The research results show that Turkey has comparative advantage in olive industry over Greece. Last few years, Turkey has improved its comparative advantage over Italy. Spain and Italy are the leading countries in olive oil industry in terms of comparative advantage. It has also been found that Turkey has consistently increase its advantage over the last decade. Practical implications: After the comparison of RCA indexes of Spain, Greece, Italy and Turkey, it is found that higher amount of production of olive oil is not enough itself to improve the competitiveness of a country in olive oil market. Branding, packaging and marketing activities that are supported by research and development expenditures are highly important factors for a consistent competitive advantage in olive oil industry. Olive oil consumers are highly motivated on the packaging and label of a product when it comes to olive oil. They usually trust Mediterranean brands comparing to others. Originality/value: The study answers the advantages of selected countries in terms of olive oil performance in global markets. Export performance of olive oil is much likely to improve the competitiveness of a country rather than a country that produces high volume of olive oil. Production itself is not enough to increase competitiveness of a country in olive oil market
Direct and crossover effects of brinzolamide, betaxolol, and latanoprost on choroidal thickness
No full textAslan, Mehmet Gokhan/0000-0002-3250-1606; Findik, Huseyin/0000-0001-7343-8757Purpose: To investigate the acute effects of brinzolamide, betaxolol, and latanoprost (drugs commonly used in the medical management of glaucoma) on choroidal thickness using enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT). Methods: Ninety healthy volunteers were evaluated in this prospective study. Participants were randomly divided into 3 groups. Brinzolamide, betaxolol, and latanoprost were administered into the left eyes of the first group (n = 30), second group (n = 30), and third group (n = 30), respectively, and artificial tear (Sodium hyaluronate) was instilled into the right eyes of all participants. Subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT) was measured using EDI-OCT before and 45 minutes after administration of the antiglaucomatous drops. Results: SFCT revealed a significant increase in the left eye (administered antiglaucomatous drop) in the brinzolamide (p = 0.001) and betaxolol groups (p = 0.049) and a significant increase also in the right eye (administered artificial drop) in the brinzolamide (p = 0.001) and betaxolol groups (p = 0.001). However, SFCT did not reveal a significant increase in the left eye (p = 0.213) or in the right eye (p = 0.062) in the latanoprost group. Conclusion: Brinzolamide and betaxolol caused an increase in SFCT, while latanoprost had no significant effect on SFCT
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
The acute effects of single cup of coffee on ocular biometric parameters in healthy subjects
Full text linkAslan, Mehmet Gokhan/0000-0002-3250-1606Purpose: To evaluate ocular biometric changes in healthy subjects after caffeine consumption from a cup of coffee. Methods: A total of 36 subjects were included in this prospective observational study. Axial length (AL) and anterior segment parameters including aqueous depth (AD), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and central corneal thickness (CCT) were measured with optic biometry, Lenstar LS 900 (Haag-Streit, Inc., Koeniz, Switzerland) before and 1 and 4 h after ingesting a cup of coffee (60 mg caffeine/100 mL). Results: Mean age of the participants was 30.05 +/- 7.43 years (range, 19-45). At baseline, 1st, and 4th hour, AL values were 23.9 +/- 1.04 mm, 23.91 +/- 1.04 mm, and 23.89 +/- 1.04 mm, respectively, and no significant difference was observed (P>0.05). At baseline, 1st, and 4th hour, AD values were 3.06 +/- 0.3 mm, 3.11 +/- 0.3 mm, and 3.09 +/- 0.3 mm, and ACD values were 3.6 +/- 0.32, 3.66 +/- 0.31, and 3.64 +/- 0.31, respectively. AD and ACD values were significantly greater than baseline at 1st and 4th hours following coffee ingestion. Coffee intake caused a significant reduction in LT, compared with baseline and at the 1st and 4th hours which were 3.76 +/- 0.28 mm, 3.69 +/- 0.32 mm, and 3.72 +/- 0.27 mm, respectively. No statistically significant difference was determined in between the 3 measurements in terms of CCT (P>0.05). Conclusion: Caffeine causes a significant increase in AD and ACD and a significant decrease in LT following oral intake, for at least 4 h. Copyright (C) 2019, Iranian Society of Ophthalmology.
