Is There an Opportunity to Establish the Social-Capitalism in the Post Socialist Transition?
No full textRecently Claus Offe has put the question that concerns the fate of the European model of social capitalism: Can the model of social capitalism survive the European integration in the context of certain contemporary tendencies? Offe has presupposed that the mentioned model is challenged by the processes of globalization and the integration of the post socialist countries into the European Union. The working hypothesis of the article is that there is an opportunity to provide a coherent answer to this question. The article consists of two parts. In the first part the author starts with the Polanyis socio-economic theory and emphasises the importance of this approach for the analysing of the tendencies of capitalism in Western Europe and in the post socialist countries. The author argues that with the Polanyis theory we are able to explicate the forms of the embedded liberalism in Western Europe after 1945 and the orientation of non-embedded neo-liberalism and the functioning of the workfare state after the crisis of the Keynesian welfare state. Despite the tendencies of the globalisation projected by neo-liberalism, the central element of the social capitalism, namely, the welfare state, remains with the dimensions of the continuity. In the next part the author points out that there is an asymmetrical structure between the Western-Europe and non-Western part of Europe concerning the socialisation of capitalism. The neoliberalisation in accordance with the model of the transfer of ideal-type of capitalism is more strongly implemented in the countries of transition. In addition, the mentioned theoretical approach provides opportunities to explain the failures of implementing of neo-liberalism in the post socialist countries. On the basis of the endorsing of the socio-economic aspects we can adress the issue pointed out by Offe.Karl Polanyi, Transition, Social capitalism, Welfare state
Neoliberalism: Befall or Respite?
No full textThe authors of this argumentative article emphasize that the range of the current crisis cannot be depleted in the diagnosis which is based on cyclic consideration. It is both systematic and structural, which is derived from the genesis and the modus of neoliberalism, which has become dominant during the previous decades. Other than that, it is emphasized that the current crisis is “great”, because it forces relevant actors to face the structural characteristics of contemporary shareholder-capitalism. The crisis also puts to a test the self-reflection of the economic science which faces certain deficits. The authors believe that, given the tendencies in today’s economy, there can be different scenarios for exiting the crisis and projecting a new modus of capitalism in the following period. Having in mind the openness of the present and the uncertainty of the future, the authors describe those scenarios without projecting which one of them will be dominant.Capitalism, Crisis, Neoliberalism, Cyclic, System, Structure
Discovery of Gamma-Ray Emission from M31 with The Fermi-LAT
No full textConference on Astrophysics of Neutron Stars in Honor of M Ali Alpar (ASTRONS) -- AUG 02-06, 2010 -- Cesme, TURKEYWOS: 000302936600014Two years worth of archival Fermi-LAT data was used to search for gamma-ray emission from M31 (the Andromeda Galaxy). Images of the data show no noticeable elliptical image. Subsequent on/off-source photometry using a CO image template show a 7 sigma excess in the number of on-source apertures in comparison to the off-source apertures, giving a measured flux of (4.945 +/- 0.71) x 10(-8) photons cm(-2) s(-1) for E > 100 MeV.Sabanci Univ, European Commiss FP6 Marie Curie Ac
Astrophysics of neutron stars 2010: a conference in honor of M. Ali Alpar: Çeşme, İzmir, Turkey, 2-6 August 2010

No full textEvolution of the Hersek Delta (Izmit Bay) (B. Alpar, C. Güneysu)
No full textBu çalışmada, jeolojik, jeomorfolojik, batimetrik ve sığ sismik çalışmalarının ışığında, Yalakdere’nin taşıdığı sediment yükünün körfez tabanında birikimi neticesinde İzmit Körfezi güney kıyısının ortasında önemli bir morfolojik yapı oluşturan Hersek Deltasının yapısal özellikleri, oluşumu ve gelişimi incelenmiştir. Bu gelişimde, yerel tektoniğin de büyük önemi vardır. Sismik kesitlerde akustik temel olarak gözlenen ve tektonik hareketlerden etkilenmiş F sismik birimi üzerinde Hersek Deltasına ait 4 ayrı çökel paketi (yukardan aşağı A, B, C ve D/E) ayırt edilmiştir. Hersek Deltasının doğusunda geç Pleistosen yaşlı C sismik biriminin gözlenememesi, yaklaşık 25,000 yıl önce günümüz deniz düzeyinden yaklaşık 60 m aşağıda yer alan Marmara Denizi sularının (yüksek deniz düzeyi) Hersek önündeki eşiği aşamayarak Eski Karamürsel Basenine geçemediği şeklinde değerlendirilmiştir. Hersek Deltasının gelişimi iklim oynamaları ve tektonik etkisiyle artan ve azalan hızlarda devam etmektedir
The Alpar canyon system in the Pannonian Basin, Hungary – its morphology, infill and development
No full textGiant incised canyons were recently recognized in Late-Miocene post-rift sediments in the central part of the Pannonian Basin. Though not connected to the world seas, Lake Pannon shows significant signs of relative lake level variations controlled by tectonics and climate changes. The incision surface of the Alpar canyon system is connected to SB Pa-4 (6.8 Ma sensu Vakarcs, 1997), earlier reported to represent a significant relative base-level fall in the basin, however, debated recently.
Incised several hundred meters in the preexisting substrate, the individual canyon valleys of the Alpar canyon system are enormous in size and display a multi-story nature. They loose topographic expression headwards and basinward. Widths of individual valleys range from 5 to 10 km, with smaller tributaries. In the study area several adjacent canyon valleys can be seen on seismic profiles. The valley depth is greatest near their confluence, where a major trunk valley (600–700 m deep) was formed by eroding most of the Upper Miocene succession. The canyons are filled with clay marls. They are incised into an extremely thick aggrading deltaic complex and are overlain by fluvial sediments, suggesting a major transgression in between.
The Late Miocene Alpár canyon system developed on the southern margin of the Mid-Hungarian Mobile Belt, the latter is characterized by NE-SW oriented fold axis and NE-SW oriented left lateral strike-slip faults. The canyon system coincides with a large releasing bend and/or extensional duplex of the Paks–Szolnok strike-slip system being active as sinistral during the Late Miocene.
Presumably, the formation of the deep canyons was generated by the close interaction of several factors and events in space and time, among them tectonic uplift forced relative base-level fall, the reactivation and bending/duplexing of a strike-slip fault system located near the coeval zone of the lake shoreline and shelf edge, and the possible change of sediment supply carried by overfed rivers
Missed nursing care: A cross-sectional and multi-centric study from Turkey
No full textAim: The aim of this study is to explore the extent of missed nursing care in Turkey and identify its predictors. Design: This was a descriptive, cross-sectional, multicentre study. Methods: A total of 477 nurses working in seven public hospitals participated in this study from March to July 2019. The survey included two components: a personal and professional characteristics data form and the MISSCARE survey. Results: The study revealed that emotional support, patient bathing and ambulation were the most frequently missed nursing care activities. An inadequate number of assistive personnel and staff, along with an unexpected increase in patient volume, were identified as the primary reasons for missed nursing care. Of the 21 missed nursing care activities, nine predictive models showed statistical significance (p < 0.05). Factors such as the type of unit, years of work experience, working hours, number of patients cared for in a shift and intention to leave the unit were found to be significant predictors of seven missed nursing care activities (p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study found that numerous variables influence each care activity, which suggests the need to devise more targeted and specific strategies to minimize missed nursing care. Thorough investigation into the impact of these strategies on each care activity is essential
