Ali Fuat Başgil (1893-1967): a principled pragmatist
No full textThis study examines Ali Fuat Başgil’s intellectual vigour as a jurist, his leadership capability as a practical politician, and his insights on political leadership as a statesman and philosopher. Başgil was one of the key intellectual figures during and after the Democrat Party government, and the Justice Party honoured his thoughts, ideas and actions. Başgil’s talent was spotted early and he was invited to Ankara from the world of university politics in Istanbul by the Prime Minister Adnan Menderes (1899-1961). He was a man of principle and always supported justice and truth, which made him immune to the power intrigues that undermined Turkey at various junctures. After the military coup of May 27, 1960, Başgil was one of the candidates for the presidency but he was forced to withdraw his name and renounce his candidacy on pain of execution by the representatives of the junta, who had just executed Menderes. Due to his genuine belief in democracy and his apprehension of the dangers ahead under military dictatorship, he refused to be a token president of the Senate when the military attempted to exploit the popular esteem in which he was held, and he courageously resigned from the phoney representative system. Başgil felt that courage was the fundamentally important quality for politicians, enabling them to make effective and appropriate decisions in times of crisis. This study seeks to determine political environment during and after 1960s military coup to highlight Başgil’s role and address a number of key political challenges in which he lived
Selectivity for dimers in pentene oligomerization over acid zeolites
No full textThe reactions of 1-pentene over acid zeolites were investigated in the liquid phase at 473 K. The primary reactions were isomerization, dimerization, and subsequent cracking of dimers. Zeolites consisting of only 10-membered (MFI) or 12-membered rings (FAU, BEA) behaved similarly, with dimerization and subsequent cracking products observed. Zeolites possessing 8-membered ring pores (MOR, FER) showed very different selectivity from each other and from other zeolites. MOR showed almost complete conversion of C10 olefins, such that hexene and butene from cracking were the dominant products. FER showed high activity and selectivity for dimerization, with very small amounts of cracking products observed.Peer reviewe
Bireylerin güç algılamalarında bilginin yeri : Bir araştırma

Doç. Dr. Fatma FİDAN Kabul Tarihi: 26 Temmuz 2005 Sayfa Sayısı: viii (ön kısım) + 71 (tez) + 1 1(ekler)Anabilim dalı: Çalışma Ekonomisi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Bilim dalı : İnsan Kaynaklarlı Yönetimi ve Endüstri İlişkileri Güç ilişkisi en küçük sosyal ilişkiden karmaşık sosyal ilişkilere kadar tüm durumlarda söz konusu olan bir kavram olduğu için, sosyal bilimlerin en temel konularından birisini oluşturmaktadır. Dolayısıyla güç ilişkisi konusu hemen hemen tüm sosyal bilim disiplinlerinin ilgi alanına giren çok önemli bir konudur. "Güç" aynı zamanda genelde edinilmek istenen bir "durum"a da göndermede bulunduğu için, bu "durum"un nasıl sağlanabileceği de önemli bir soru olmaktadır. Her ne kadar ekonomik zenginlik, siyasi ve sosyal kaynaklar güç elde etmede çok önemli birkaç dış kaynak durumundaysa da bunların dışında kişinin kendisinden kaynaklanan özelliklerin de güç sağlamada önemli olduğu inanılan noktalardan birisidir. Gücün bireysel kaynakları denince de genelde "bilgi" akla gelmekte ve yaygın olarak bu fikir paylaşılmaktadır. Dolayısıyla ister Bacon'un ele aldığı anlamda tabiata hükmetme bilgisi olsun gerekse Foucault'un yaklaşımındaki iktidarı pekiştirme anlamında bilgi olsun her halükarda bilgi, güç konusundaki önemini korumuştur. Ancak acaba gerçekten etrafımızdaki tüm bireylerin genel yaklaşımı bu yönde mi? Her ne kadar genel kanı ile bilgiye verilecek önemin belirlenemeyeceği doğruysa da bu sorunun cevabını bulmak en azından bize içinde yaşadığımız toplumun belli bir konudaki yaklaşımı ile ilgili, dolayısıyla bir ölçüye kadar bu toplumun profili ile ilgili önemli ip uçları verecektir. Bu tez, içinde bulunduğumuz toplumun güç konusundaki algılarım ölçmeye yönelik bir çalışmadır. Güç konusuyla ilgili önemli düzeyde bir literatür bulunmasına rağmen bireylerin algılarını teorik yaklaşımla karşılaştıran bir çalışmanın da bu literatüre farklı bir yaklaşımla katkıda burulması amaçlanmıştır. Dolayısıyla bu amaçla anket formlarıyla katılımcıların bu konudaki algılan ölçülmüştür. Analizler sonrasında yukarıda bahsedilen bilginin çok önemli olarak görüldüğü ancak şayet bir sıralama yapılırsa bu unsurun ilk sırada olmayacağı görülmüştür. Katılımcılar genelde bilgiye büyük önem atfetmelerine rağmen yine bir kişisel kaynak olan psikolojik unsurun daha önemli olduğunu belirtmişlerdir. Anahtar kelimeler: Güç, bilgi, bilgi güç ilişkisi, güç kaynakları, bireylerin güç algılar
Risk assessment in mice and men
No full textUncertainty is a ubiquitous property of both physical and mental realms. Goal-directed actions that take place under these conditions thus probabilistically predict their consequences. Traditional decision-making research has shown that particularly humans are non-normative decision-makers under uncertainty. On the other hand, considering the cognitive system as an output of evolutionary history, it is not unlikely that it models the uncertainties that partly determine the consequences of its actions. It is also natural to assume that the same system uses these models of uncertainty originating from multiple stochastic processes along with its metric representation of the consequences in planning its actions. Indeed, more recent research has shown closer to optimal performance in decision-making tasks in which the uncertainty was experienced and/or originated from the sensori-motor system. In this research, we investigated this very process in the context of temporal decision-making in both human and mice subjects. We further used this experimental context to answer the essential questions regarding the functional architecture of mind. This questioning specifically targeted the degree of representational and computational power needed to account for decision-making under uncertainty. In order to answer this question, we conducted computer simulations providing different degrees of representational substitution/power and compared their outputs to the empirical data. We conclude that both human and mice are optimal decision-makers under uncertainty that originates from extrinsic and intrinsic (mental) stochastic processes and observed performance can be better explained by information-processing rather than associative frameworks of mind.Ph.D.Includes bibliographical references (p. 153-157)
Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid: An Alternative Perspective
No full textThe Bottom of the Pyramid (BOP) has emerged as one of the dominant ideas in business. Cognizant of the overwhelming attention BOP has attracted and its potential impact on the billions of the poor and on managerial practices, the author analyzes the different aspects of BOP approach on how large corporations can serve low income customers profitably. An attempt is made to provide an alternate perspective on the BOP concept. I argue for the facilitation of selective consumption by the poor by avoiding their undesirable inclusion (marketing products that are not likely to enhance their wellbeing or products that are likely to be abused by them) and exclusion (not offering products that are likely to enhances their wellbeing) in target market selection decisions by the private sector organizations. A framework is presented for assessing the appropriateness of large corporations’ participation in BOP markets. I also emphasize the need to strengthen the role of the poor as a producer for rapid poverty alleviation.
Consuming identity : the case of Scotland
No full textThe paper examines national identity in Scotland. The research explores how consumers perceive the symbols used to represent Scotland, how these symbols relate to their perceptions of contemporary Scottish identity and their responses to the use of these symbols to promote Scotland and Scottishness. A series of in-depth interviews revealed that national identity in Scotland was seen to be multidimensional. Activities associated with art and culture, as opposed to business and industry, were identified as primary characteristics of contemporary Scotland. The traditional symbols of Scottish identity (e.g. tartan and whiskey) remain dominant signifiers, however, and the problems of this are discussed
Upper and Lower Airways Interaction: Is the United Airway Disease Concept a Reflection of Reality? How Important Is It?
No full textThis book examines in detail many rhinologic issues that are not covered in other books, are still not completely understood, and can be difficult to deal with clinically.
In each chapter, three authors – a young otorhinolaryngologist, a senior author, and an international expert – elaborate on a specific issue, such as the role of immunotherapy in treating nasal polyps, the management of rhinitis during pregnancy, how rhinitis can differ in adults and children, how to choose between open or endonasal rhinoplasty, the ideal form of anesthesia for nasal surgery, etc.
The volume will appeal to a wide readership, from otorhinolaryngologists to allergists and facial plastic surgeons, as well as trainees and students in related fields
Zygmunt Bauman’ın Gözlüğü ile Çalışma İlişkilerine Bakmak
No full textBu çalışmada Zygmunt Bauman’ın bazı kavramlarıyla çalışma ilişkilerinin günümüzdeki görünümüne yeniden bakılmaktadır. Bilindiği gibi sosyal bilimciler, içinde yaşadığımız toplum tipini adlandırmak için uygun bir niteleme üzerinde değil, ancak mutlaka yeni bir isimle adlandırmanın gerekliliği üzerinde uzlaşmış görünüyorlar. Bu bağlamda ‘sanayi toplumu’nun çalışma ilişkileri kalıpları tümden değişmiş ve çok daha ‘akışkan’ yapılar karşımıza çıkmış durumdadır. Bu yapıların çalışma hayatında ne tür bir görünüm ortaya çıkarttığını ortaya koymada Zygmunt Bauman’nın kavramları oldukça açıklayıcı durumdadır. Bu çalışmada da onun akışkan modernlik, ağır modernlik, sivil zayiat, turist-aylak ayırımı, iş etiği ve cemaat kavramları ele alınacaktır
Razkrinkavanje skozi roman
No full textBackground and Purpose: This study is based on the assumption that the novel, which is a modern narrative form, reflects the canon of the period in which it was written. In this context, the study tries to show how human resources management practices were carried out in large-scale industrial units in a period when the human resources management function was not specialized, with The Jungle novel by Upton Sinclair. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study is based on a typology that Bruce E. Kaufman used while describing the early history of US HRM. Kaufman lists fourteen factors that characterize early HRM. One of them is the revealing activities of the Progressive movement. Therefore, the novel is considered here as a means of disclosure. Designed on this basis, the study analyses The Jungle novel around the following themes: the foreman’s empire, child labour, occupational health and safety, wages, job insecurity, career, and the blue-collar/white-collar divide. Results: The novel shows that although the scale of manufacturing units grew in the early 1900s, human management practices were not yet institutionalized and specialized. Therefore, HRM routines are carried out with the arbitrary attitude of foremen, wages are below the natural wage level, child labour is widely used, and there is a working life full of risks in terms of occupational health and safety. Conclusion: When the narrative of the novel about human management is read in parallel with the academic studies describing the period, the parallelism between the two narratives shows why the novels can be used as material for academic studies.Ozadje in namen: Ta študija temelji na predpostavki, da roman, ki je sodobna pripovedna oblika, odraža kanon obdobja, v katerem je bil napisan. V tem kontekstu študija poskuša prikazati, kako so bile prakse upravljanja s človeškimi viri izvajane v velikih industrijskih enotah v obdobju, ko funkcija upravljanja s človeškimi viri še ni bila specializirana, z romanom “The Jungle” avtorja Uptona Sinclaira. Načrt/ Metodologija/ Pristop: Študija temelji na tipologiji, ki jo je Bruce E. Kaufman uporabil pri opisu zgodnje zgodovine upravljanja s človeškimi viri v ZDA. Kaufman našteje štirinajst dejavnikov, ki zaznamujejo zgodnje upravljanje s človeškimi viri. Eden od njih je razkrivanje dejavnosti gibanja Progressive. Zato je roman tukaj obravnavan kot sredstvo razkrivanja. Na tej osnovi študija analizira roman “The Jungle” okoli naslednjih tem: cesarstvo nadzornika, otroško delo, varnost in zdravje pri delu, plače, negotovost zaposlitve, kariera in delitev med modrim ovratnikom in belim ovratnikom. Rezultati: Roman kaže, da čeprav se je obseg proizvodnih enot v zgodnjih 1900-ih povečal, prakse upravljanja s človeškimi viri še niso bile institucionalizirane in specializirane. Zato se rutine upravljanja s človeškimi viri izvajajo z arbitrarnim odnosom nadzornikov, plače so pod naravno ravnjo plač, otroško delo je široko razširjeno, delovno življenje pa je polno tveganj v smislu varnosti in zdravja pri delu. Zaključek: Ko se pripoved romana o upravljanju s človeškimi viri bere vzporedno z akademskimi študijami, se vzporednost med obema pripovedima kaže, zakaj se romani lahko uporabljajo kot gradivo za akademske študije
