    "The author is her own character" : a few words on the right to an autobiographical reading of İnci Aral's novels

    No full text
    This article focuses on the problem of autobiographical reading of the novels by İnci Aral, a modern Turkish writer who is considered to be one of the most remarkable authors of Turkish postmodern literature. None of her novels has been explicitly referred to as an autobiography, but numerous autothematic statements (such as "the author is her own character" used as a title of this article) allow to advance a thesis on an autobiographical character of İnci Aral's writings. In the article the right to an autobiographical reading of the İnci Aral's novels has been justified by analyzing the profile of the novels' characters in comparison to the author's biography. Special importance has been attached to the repeatability of narrative motifs such as difficult childhood and unsuccessful marriage and depression, which are motifs corresponding to İnci Aral's personal experience

    Investigating the Mediating Effects of Perceived Memory-Sharing Functions on Event Centrality and Self-Compassion Relationship Among Turkish Children When Parents Are the Listeners

    No full text
    This study examines patterns underlying how Turkish emerging adults sharing memories of guilt with their parents impacts their self-compassion, with a focus on parental listening. One main objective of this paper is to conduct gender-based analyses comparing the influence of parents, separately mothers' and fathers' impacts as listeners, on their children's outcomes as narrators. This research aimed to investigate the relationship between emerging adult children's event centrality of their guilt memories and their self-compassion scores through perceived functions of memory-sharing with their parents (directive, emotion regulation, self, and social). Besides mediational analyses, t-tests were conducted based on the listener’s gender. 308 Turkish male and female participants from different cities filled online surveys. The results revealed that while the perceived social function of memory-sharing tends to buffer the negative relationship between emerging adults' event centrality and self-compassion, the self-function appears to intensify this negative relationship. Moreover, most participants preferred their mothers as listeners when sharing their negative memories. Furthermore, participants were more likely to perceive self and directive memory-sharing functions when the preferred listener was the father. In contrast, participants predominantly opted for the social function when the listener was the mother. Results are discussed in light of the literature.</jats:p

    Feasibility of Bolted Connectors in Hybrid FRP-Steel Structures

    No full text
    Due to the low weight and excellent durability of composite materials, Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) decks mounted on steel superstructures are becoming all the more common in engineering practice. Bolted joints are generally used to facilitate connections between an FRP deck and steel girders in road bridges. The connections are subjected to both high magnitude static forces as well as fatigue loading due to overpassing vehicles. With ever increasing traffic on both road and railway bridges, fatigue performance is of critical concern. Bolted FRP joints have been extensively researched in the past under static loading, but less is known about the fatigue and creep behaviour of such joints. Furthermore, little research exists on non-pultruded FRP profiles connected using bolted connections. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate connectors’ feasibility by means of static, fatigue and creep experiments on four different types of bolted joints comprising mechanical connectors and injection techniques. The study focuses on application in vacuum infused GFRP panels with integrated webs made of multi-directional laminates, connected to steel bridge superstructures. In addition, experimental results are validated by Finite Element Analyses (FEA). Based on the obtained results, the novel injected steel-reinforced resin (iSRR) connector developed at TU Delft shows promising potential in hybrid steel-FRP bridges where good fatigue endurance of the connection and local loads in FRP panel, are required.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Steel & Composite Structure

    Shear Force in Bolted Connection Due to Traffic and Temperature Loads in Hybrid Steel-FRP Bridges

    As many bridges are reaching the end of their service life, researchers are searching for new solutions to extend the lifespan of those bridges. Fibre reinforce polymers (FRP) could be possible a solution for bridges with deck problems. Lightweight FRP decks can be installed quickly via bolted connectors on steel substructure. In general, shear force in the connector is not taken into account during the design of FRP decks because slip behaviour and interaction with steel substructure is unknown. This research connects to research at TU Delft on non-slip shear connectors for FRP decks. Aim of this paper is to quantify shear forces in bolted connectors due to traffic and temperature loads. The direction of webs, fibres in panel facings and the expansion coefficient of resin has been investigated to determine the influence of the FRP deck on the shear force in the connectors. To investigate the results of traffic loading and temperature loading on real bridges, a database of bridges in the Netherlands has been used. Results from the analyses offer an indication of the influence of the laminates on the shear force in the connectors and show shear force ranges that can occur in existing bridges.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Steel & Composite Structure

    Reconciling Computer and Hand: The Case of Author Identity in Design Presentations

    No full text
    As computers were newly emerging in the field of architectural design, it was claimed that the impact of computers would change the way architects design and present. However, within the course of computer use in design, although the field of architectural practice might have been altered extremely, in architectural education there still seems to be a bond to conventional mind-hand-paper relation. One of the reasons for that bond is the fact that although being related to many technologies, architecture essentially positions itself around an artistic core that is still fed with conventional modes of creation. Architectural education aims at adopting and working on this very core. One of the major contributors in the formation of this core is the presence of author identity. This paper makes a critical approach to computers in terms of expressing author identity in design presentations especially during design education. We believe that the author identity is important in design education in terms of identifying the potential and skills of the student. Especially in design education the final step of design process turns out to be the presentation, unlike architectural practice where the presented design is actually built. Within this conception, two different studies were held in an educational environment with 160 design students and 20 design instructors. The results of both studies pointed at the fact that the digital opportunities that exist for design education should evolve around preserving and underlining the author identity in design presentations

    Does Reflection Increase Accuracy Rather Than Bias in the Assessments of Political Fake News

    No full text
    The literature emphasizes two theoretical frameworks to explain the psychological mechanisms underlying belief in political fake news: motivated vs. reflective reasoning. The motivated reasoning account asserts that individuals are predisposed to accept fake news aligned with their political identity, with reflection further entrenching such beliefs through an identity-protective function. Conversely, the reflective reasoning account argues that reflection improves accuracy by inducing a cognitive decoupling effect, thereby diminishing the acceptance of fake news. However, existing research has not definitively established the causal effect of reflection due to methodological limitations, including reliance on correlational studies and the ineffectiveness of manipulation techniques to activate reflection. In light of these shortcomings, we conducted a high-powered and preregistered experiment employing a strong reflection manipulation (i.e., debiasing training) and equally representing American Democrats and Republicans. Our findings indicate that individuals from both political affiliations are prone to believing and disseminating politically aligned fake news via social media. Despite employing a stronger reflection manipulation in contrast to past research, we failed to replicate the mitigating effect of the reflection on the acceptance of fake news. We observed that reflection reduced Democrats' willingness to spread fake news, yet it did not affect Republicans. These outcomes underscore the significant role of identity in the assessment of fake news and reveal that the mitigating effect of reflection is contingent upon an individual's identity group.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK)Open access funding provided by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUB & Idot;TAK).Social Science Citation Inde
