Native English speaking teachers as cosmopolitans or citizens of the world: An anthropological study in Istanbul, Turkey
No full textThe study of cosmopolitans – citizens of the world— and cosmopolitanism, traceable to ancient Greece, has, after a long decline in interest, made a strong comeback in social sciences since the 1990s, particularly in sociology and anthropology. This anthropological study aims to understand cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitans through native English speaking teachers (NESTs) living in and working at various foundation universities in Istanbul, Turkey. A qualitative method of in-depth interviews with 21 participants was employed over a period of 20 months. Drawing from Diogenes’ and Kant’s concept of “world citizen”, the author elaborates on this theory by highlighting how cosmopolitanism has varied due to globalization and given birth to new cosmopolitan types, one of which is the white-collar cosmopolitan, a category defined through themes and commonalities during data analysis and the interviews, to which NESTs belong. The findings also indicate that cosmopolitanism is evolving into a new form and producing new meanings through specific dispositions particularly, willingness to engage with “the Other” and to embrace cultural, social, ethnic, and religious diversity.Publisher versio

A variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a four-dimensional symmetry group and blow-up
No full textGüngör, Faruk (Dogus Author) -- Hasanov, Mahir H. (Dogus Author)A canonical variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a four-dimensional symmetry group containing SL(2, ℝ) group as a subgroup is considered. This typical invariance is then used to transform by a symmetry transformation a known solution that can be derived by truncating its Painlevé expansion and study blow-ups of these solutions in the L p-norm for p > 2, L ∞-norm and in the sense of distributions
Mahir Öztaş'ın hayatı-eserleri-sanatı
No full textMahir Öztaş, ortaya koymuş olduğu eserlerinde de görüleceği üzere titiz, ince eleyip sık dokuyan ve kendine has tutum geliştirebilmeyi başarabilmiş bir Türk edebiyatı yazarıdır. Sanat hayatına şiir ile başlayan yazar, öykü ve roman gibi kurmaca türlerde de eserler kaleme almıştır. İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi’nden mimar olarak mezun olmuştur. Hayatının bir döneminde mimar olarak çalışan yazar, bugün hâlâ yazarlık kariyerine devam etmektedir. Öztaş, kaleme almış olduğu şiir, öykü ve roman türlerinden eserlerinde, tercih ettiği farklı biçim ve teknikleri ile kendine ait bir üslup oluşturmaktan çekinmeyen, yenilikçi bir yazar olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bunun yanında eserlerinde tercih etmiş olduğu tema ve konu seçimlerinde istikrar göstermekte, kendine ait bir tarz ortaya koymaktadır. Eserlerinde fazlaca değindiği konular arasında bellek, yazmak ve zaman kavramları yer alırken, bu bağlamda yazarın zamana meydan okuyan eserler yazmayı hedeflediği görülmektedir. Öztaş, özellikle kurgu eserlerinde kişisel yaşamını, gezip gördüğü ülke ve şehirleri yolculuk teması ile birleştirebilmeyi başarmıştır. Ölüm, aşk, varoluş, cinsellik, korku gibi evrensel ve temel insanî hisleri anlatılarının temeline oturtmaktadır. Evrensel ve temel insanî konularda yazmayı tercih ettiği eserler, onun anlatılarının her dönem okunur ve ilgi çekici hâlini korumasına olanak sağmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Mahir Öztaş’ın hayatı, yazarın yazmış olduğu eserlerden, yapmış olduğu söyleşilerden, konuşmalardan, antolojilere yazmış olduğu yazılardan derlenmiştir. Yazarın hayatının ortaya konmasındaki amaç eserlerini hayatı üzerinden karşılaştırmalı olarak incelemek değildir. Yazarın özel hayatı ve anılarının edebiyat tarihine katkı sağlayacağı umulmaktadır. Ortaya çıkan bu çalışma kapsamında Öztaş’ın yazmış olduğu edebî eserler tahlil edilerek, sanat anlayışı üzerinde durulacaktır.Mahir Öztaş, as can be seen in his works, is a meticulous, scrutinized Turkish literature writer who has managed to develop a unique attitude. The author, who started his artistic life with poetry, also wrote works in fictional genres such as short stories and novels. He graduated from Istanbul State Academy of Fine Arts as an architect. The author, who worked as an architect for a period of his life, still continues his career as a writer today. Öztaş draws attention as an innovative writer who does not hesitate to create his own style with the different forms and techniques he prefers in his works of poetry, story and novel. In addition, he shows stability in the choice of themes and subjects that he prefers in his works, and reveals a style of his own. While the concepts of memory, writing and time are among the subjects that he mentions a lot in his works, it is seen that the author aims to write works that defy time in this context. Öztaş has succeeded in combining his personal life, the countries and cities he has visited with the theme of travel, especially in his fictional works. He bases his narratives on universal and basic human feelings such as death, love, existence, sexuality, and fear. The works he prefers to write on universal and basic human subjects allow his narratives to remain readable and interesting in all periods. In this study, Mahir Öztaş's life has been compiled from the works written by the author, the interviews he has made, speeches, and the articles he has written for anthologies. The purpose of revealing the author's life is not to examine his works comparatively over his life. It is hoped that the author's private life and memories will contribute to the history of literature. Within the scope of this study, the literary works written by Öztaş will be analyzed and the understanding of art will be emphasized
A Systematic evaluation of blockchain-enabled contract administration in construction projects
No full textInefficient and ineffective Construction Contract Administration (CCA) is at the root of many of the sector challenges. Emerging digital technologies such as blockchain are revealing some capabilities with the potential for improving CCA. This paper addresses the research question of whether and how can blockchain contribute to improving CCA and what are the specific challenges to its adoption in CCA. The study adopts a systematic review of studies in this domain and their subsequent analysis against a CCA framework. Most applications were found to be centered on two CCA functions; the financial management, and the document and record management. CCA functions that embed complex contractual logics such as claims and disputes resolution management have received scant attention. To advance blockchain application in CCA, a structured roadmap of its key challenges relating to technology, process, policy and society is proposed for future research. The outcome of this paper provides scholars, practitioners and policymakers, interested in construction contracts, with the evidence about the current level of blockchain contribution to CCA and a structured set of recommendations for future research
Developing a Parametric Cash Flow Forecasting Model for Complex Infrastructure Projects: A Comparative Study
No full textForecasting the cash flow for infrastructure projects has not received much attention in the existing models. Moreover, disregarding the cost flow behaviour and proposing models that entail a relatively high dimensionality of inputs have been the main drawbacks of the existing models. This study proposes a heuristic cash flow forecasting (CFF) model for infrastructure projects, and it explores the underlying behaviour of the cost flow. The proposed model was validated by adopting a case study approach,the actual cost flow datasets were mined from a verified data system. The results invalidated the employment of a dominant heuristic rule with regard to a cost-flow-time relationship in infrastructure projects. On the other hand, a mathematical parameter-based comparison between the trends analysed from previous studies revealed that the cost flows of infrastructure projects procured through a design-bid-build (D-B-B) route behaved in a similar manner to building projects procured through a construction management route. This research contributes to the body of knowledge providing a method to enable infrastructure contractors to accurately forecast the required working capital through adding a new dimension for project classification by coining the term “the quaternary flow percentage”. In addition, this study indicates the importance of identifying the impact of root risks on the individual cost flow components rather than on the aggregated cost flow, which is a recommendation for future research
Konsten att balansera: Revisorns integritet och klientrelationer i fokus
No full textTitel: The Art of Balancing: The Auditor’s Integrity and Client Relationships in Focus Level: Final Assignment for bachelor’s degree in business administration Author: Danait Bri and Mahir Khan Supervisor: Fredrik Hartwig Date: 2024 – May Aim: The study aims to create an understanding of how accountants balance in negotiation situations between maintaining good relationships with their clients while maintaining their independence and integrity. Method: In this study, we have used a qualitative method where the data collection took place through semi-structured interviews with five authorized accountants. A deductive approach together with an interpretive perspective has been used in data collection and analysis. A thematic content analysis has been used to answer the purpose of the study. Results and conclusions: The study shows that a long-term relationship does not lead to emotional involvement with the clients, but to a certain comfort. A higher degree of self-realization and taking an outside perspective helps the accountant resist external pressures. The auditor's independence can be threatened in long-term client relationships or by the prvision of non-audit-related services. Direct negotiations are unusual, instead there are discussions with elements of negotiation. Contribution of the thesis: The work highlights accountants' challenges in balancing the relationship with clients. The study shows that auditors usually have discussions with elements of negotiation rather than direct negotiations. The study has contributed with a new strategy which involves lowering the clients' expectations from the start to arrive at a reasonably good solution. Suggestions for further research: In future studies, it may be interesting to examine wheither the clients perceive that there are direct negotiations or discussions with negotiation elements that occur. Titel: Konsten att balansera: Revisorns integritet och klientrelationer i fokus Nivå: Examensarbete på grundnivå (kandidatexamen) i ämnet företagsekonomi Författare: Danait Bri och Mahir Khan Handledare: Fredrik Hartwig Datum: 2024 – maj Syfte: Studien ämnar skapa förståelse för hur revisorer balanserar i förhandlingssituationer mellan att upprätthålla goda relationer med sina klienter samtidigt som de behåller sitt oberoende och sin integritet. Metod: I denna studie har vi använt en kvalitativ metod där datainsamlingen skett via semistrukturerade intervjuer med fem auktoriserade revisorer. En deduktiv ansats tillsammans med tolkande perspektiv har använts vid datainsamling och analys. En tematisk innehållsanalys har använts för att besvara studiens syfte. Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar att en långvarig relation inte leder till känslomässig inblandning med klienterna, dock till en viss bekvämlighet. Högre grad av självförverkligande och intagning av utomstående perspektiv hjälper revisorn att motstå externa påtryckningar. Revisorns oberoende kan hotas vid långvariga kundrelationer eller vid tillhandahållandet av icke-revisionsrelaterade tjänster. Direkta förhandlingar är ovanliga, istället är det diskussioner med förhandlingsinslag som förekommer. Examensarbetets bidrag: Arbetet belyser revisorers utmaningar med att balansera relationen till klienter. Studien visar att revisorer oftast har diskussioner med förhandlingsinslag snarare än direkta förhandlingar. Studien har bidragit med en ny strategi som innebär att sänka klienternas förväntningar från början för att i slutändan kunna komma fram till en rimligt bra lösning. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: I framtida studier kan det vara intressant att undersöka om klienterna upplever att det är direkta förhandlingar eller diskussioner med förhandlingsinslag som förekommer
