Relationship Between Privacy and Facebook Usage of Female Digital Immigrants
No full textAkikol, Rahime (Arel Author)In today's postmodern society, the social structure has really affected individualization, and electronic devices that bring about digital culture have enabled connections between people thorough social networks. Currently, it is seen as a necessity to belong to the electronic social environment. In the social network context, the culture of personal presentation and 'inner self' in public space is not only popular among adolescents and youths, but now includes female digital immigrants who tend to display as much as possible. However, the attitudes of digital immigrants are different because of differences in age as well as cultural and educational backgrounds. To reveal the relationship between Facebook usage and privacy, a semi-structured interview was conducted with eight people obtained through objective snowball sampling. A questionnaire containing 25 questions was prepared using the data from the interviews and distributed to 367 people in different regions of Turkey. The obtained data were analyzed in the SPSS package. The research findings indicate that female digital immigrants share their personal information with a large number of people because of their direct communications through Facebook and thus tend to show their private lives to the public

Naşide Gökbudak'ın Biyografik Romanları
No full textThe biographical novel is a literary genre that is based on narrating the life of a real person
within the structure of the novel. The biographical novel, as a genre that emerged with
the fusion of biography and novel genres, is successful as long as the balance between
fact and fiction is consistent. As an author who started writing after the age of sixty-five, Naşide Gökbudak generally deals with real lives and events in her novels. The first feature which draws attention in the novels of the author is that historical periods form the temporal basis of the works. The novels generally cover the Republican period and aftermath. Therefore, in the works,
it is possible to see the social, political and cultural changes of the period and their effects
on people from the author's point of view. In the "Introduction" chapter of the study, the life and the authorship of Naşide Gökbudak are described. In the "First Chapter", the theoretical framework of the biography and biographical novel genres has been drawn and the boundaries of the biographical novel have been established. In the "Second Chapter", the identified works were analysed in
detail by means of the comparative method.Biyografik roman, gerçek bir kişinin yaşamını roman yapısı içinde kurgulayarak
anlatmaya dayanan edebî bir türdür. Biyografi ve roman türlerinin birleşmesi ile ortaya
çıkan bir tür olarak biyografik roman, gerçek ile kurgu dengesinin tutarlı sağlandığı
oranda başarılıdır. Naşide Gökbudak, altmış beş yaşından sonra yazmaya başlayan bir yazar olarak,
romanlarında genel itibariyle gerçek hayatları ve olayları ele almaktadır. Yazarın
romanlarında dikkat çeken ilk özellik, tarihî devirlerin eserlerin zamansal zeminini
oluşturmasıdır. Romanlar genel olarak Cumhuriyet dönemi ve sonrasını kapsamaktadır.
Dolayısıyla eserlerde dönemin toplumsal, siyasal ve kültürel değişimleri ile bunların
insanlarda bıraktığı tesirleri, yazarın bakış açısından görmek mümkündür.Çalışmanın "Giriş" bölümünde Naşide Gökbudak'ın hayatı ve yazarlığından bahsedilmiştir. "Birinci Bölüm"de biyografi ve biyografik roman türlerinin kuramsal çerçevesi çizilerek biyografik romanın sınırları verilmiştir.

Introduction : Why Gender and the EU?
No full textThis chapter introduces the debates surrounding the Europeanisation of non-members and identifies existing knowledge gaps of Europeanisation. It then introduces the EU’s gender policies and the Turkish context, briefly addresses the shortcomings of Europeanisation framework and offers a rationale on how feminist approaches strengthen its explanatory value when applied to gender policies. Europeanisation offers a well-equipped toolbox to analyse how EU membership has impacted the gender equality policies of different clusters of countries such as old and new member states, candidates and third countries. Turkey is an illustrative case with which to study the EU’s impact due to the length of its relations with the EU, which makes it possible to trace several independent variables within the EU’s influence mechanisms of conditionality and social learning, whilst its quest for a European identity makes it relevant to generalise the insights of the Turkish case to candidates, non-members and third countries. Through the case of Turkey, this chapter introduces how the book will make the case for why Europeanisation needs a feminist rationale to be able to move forward. © 2021, The Author(s)
Conclusion : Can the EU Be a Feminist Actor?
No full textThe concluding chapter offers an overview of the extent to which Turkey has adopted and applied EU norms in different gender policy areas, and further scrutinises the impact of the Europeanisation process on women’s development. Building on the findings of seven empirical chapters touching upon both the adoption and application of the EU’s rules, we offer a condensed summary of the extensive lack of feminist thinking and framing in the EU’s approach to infusing gender justice in target countries. Drawing on the case of Turkey and pulling together the gender equality implications from the empirical chapters, this chapter highlights the importance that feminist constructions of the EU should build on for a successful, flourishing, and gender-sensitive Europeanisation process. Lastly, it compares the findings of Europeanisation of gender equality policies in Turkey with the findings of the research on Central and Eastern Europe enlargement, identifies the mechanisms that are in place, and summarises the insights gained from the case of Turkey. The chapter concludes by highlighting that the EU is not yet a feminist but a progressive gender actor. © 2021, The Author(s)
Hypoprolactinemia, a neglected endocrine disorder
No full textThis special issue of Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders is dedicated to hypoprolactinemia. Prolactin is known for its actions on the mammary gland including development, preparation for postpartum lactation, as well as synthesis and maintenance of milk secretion. However, prolactin has many other physiological effects on reproduction, embryonic and fetal development, homeostasis, neuroprotection, behavior, and immunoregulation. In clinical practice, physiopathology and clinical consequences of increased prolactin secretion are generally well understood, and medical treatment to decrease prolactin levels is available and effective in most cases. Unlike prolactin excess, hypoprolactinemia has been a neglected endocrine disorder and nospecific replacement therapy is commercially available. Prolactin is the only anterior pituitary hormone not addressed by clinical hypopituitarism guidelines. In recent years, human studies have revealed that hypoprolactinemia is associated with metabolic, sexual and neuropsychologic alterations. Therefore, this special issue of Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders is aimed to enhance our incomplete understanding of hypoprolactinemia. A total of 17 articles were authored by respected scientists and clinicians from a variety of disciplines including adult and pediatric endocrinology, pathology, gynecology, reproductive medicine, oncology, and neurosurgery. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer ScienceBusiness Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.The Yeditepe University Open Access System is a compendium of indexed publications.

Academic Success in English Medium Courses: Exploring Student Challenges, Opinions, Language Proficiency and L2 Use
No full textThe growth of English medium instruction (EMI) programs at universities worldwide has raised questions about the implications of teaching through L2 English on students’ content learning outcomes. This study examined the impact of four factors on students’ academic success (e.g. content learning) in the Turkish EMI context: (1) students’ language-related challenges; (2) students’ opinions about the effectiveness of EMI; (3) students’ perceived language proficiency levels; and (4) the amount of L2 English used in EMI classes. Students’ perceived academic performance was taken as a proxy of EMI success. The study employed a quantitative empirical design using questionnaires and regression analysis. Data were collected via an online questionnaire from 498 students at an EMI university in Turkey. The results revealed that students’ language-related challenges and perceived language proficiency were the only predictors that were associated with academic success in their EMI courses at a statistically significant level. The amount of English used in the classroom was not found to predict success in EMI, suggesting that students may benefit from multilingual models of teaching. These findings underscore the importance of adequate language support for students on EMI programs, and implications are discussed with respect to EMI policy, program planning, and teacher pedagogy. © The Author(s) 2023.The Yeditepe University Open Access System is a compendium of indexed publications.
