Semra Ertan - Word and Body as Instruments of Socio-Political Protest
No full textThe bachelor thesis is dedicated to Semra Ertan, a poet and activist of Turkish origin, who lived since the 1970s with her parents in Germany, who worked there as guest workers (Gastarbeiter). In 1982, Ertan publicly set herself on fire in Hamburg. Although the publication of her poetry collection in 2020 aroused interest in both Germany and Turkey in her work and life's destiny, academic research is still lacking. The thesis aims to present the person and work of Semra Ertan as a topic that has not yet been researched. The student will first outline the development of the situation of the Turkish guest workers in Germany since the bilateral agreement between Germany and Turkey, introduce the author herself, and in the main part of the thesis will analyze her poems as such and the relationship between Semra Ertan's poems and her self-immolation. Thesis will try to answer the question of whether and how aspects of the author's life can be seen in her poems. To answer this question, in addition to the thematic analysis of the poems the approaches of the social contextual studies of literature as outlined by Josef Šebek will be used.Bakalářská práce je věnována Semře Ertan, básnířce a aktivistce tureckého původu, která žila od sedmdesátých let 20. století s rodiči v Německu, kteří zde pracovali jako hostující dělníci (Gastarbeiter). V roce 1982 se Ertan v Hamburku veřejně upálila. Přestože vydání její básnické sbírky v roce 2020 vzbudilo v Německu i v Turecku zájem o její tvorbu i životní osudy, odborné zpracování dosud chybí. Práce si klade za cíl představit osobu a dílo Semry Ertan jakožto téma v akademickém prostředí doposud nezpracované. Studentka nejprve nastíní vývoj situace tureckých pracovních sil v Německu od uzavření bilaterální smlouvy mezi SRN a Tureckem, představí samotnou autorku a v hlavní části práce pak bude analyzovat její básně jako takové a také vztah mezi básněmi Semry Ertan a jejím sebeupálením. Pokusí se odpovědět na otázku, zda a jakým způsobem lze v básních spatřovat aspekty autorčina života. K zodpovězení této otázky bude vedle tematické analýzy básní využívat přístupy sociálně kontextového studia literatury, jak je nastiňuje Josef Šebek.Department of Middle Eastern StudiesKatedra Blízkého východuFilozofická fakultaFaculty of Art

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has dramatically worsened people’s psychological well-being. Our aim was to examine for the first time the concurrent and longitudinal relations of family resilience with hedonic and eudaimonic well-being, and the moderating role of socio-demographics. For people having a romantic partner, we also explored whether family resilience and dyadic coping were uniquely related to well-being. One cross-sectional study (N = 325) and one 10-week follow-up study (N = 112) were carried out during the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic (April–May 2020) in Northern Italy. Adult participants completed an online questionnaire in both studies. Correlation, multivariate regression, and moderation analyses were carried out with IBM SPSS version 28 and its PROCESS macro. Significance of differences in correlation and regression coefficients was tested through Steiger’s procedure, Wald test, and SUEST method. Family resilience was found to relate more strongly to eudaimonic (versus hedonic) well-being concurrently and to hedonic (versus eudaimonic) well-being longitudinally. The concurrent or longitudinal relations with hedonic well-being were generally stronger for females, part-time workers, and people undergoing multiple stressors. For people having a romantic partner, family resilience was concurrently associated with well-being independently of dyadic coping, whereas dyadic coping was longitudinally related to well-being independently of family resilience. Family resilience was found to protect, in the short term, the psychological well-being of people facing the pandemic outbreak. Its protective role mainly concerned hedonic well-being and was more pronounced for more vulnerable people. For persons having a romantic partner, however, dyadic coping seemed to have equal, if not greater, positive short-term effects

No full textSardina pilchardus is a multiple spawning fish, i.e., the species that spawns periodically during the spawning period. in order to examine the reproduction biology of the species, the specimens were obtained in the known spawning period indicated by the current literature obtained from fishers who were commercially fishing in December 2018 and January-February 2019. After the fork length and total length together with their weight measurements, the specimens were dissected in the laboratory. the adult females’ gonads were then fixed in 4% formalin solution for fecundity. A total of 170 individuals was examined and the values of their fork length, total length and weight were computed as 9.7-13.4 cm (mean: 11.16±0.81), 10.5-15 cm (mean: 12.3±0.89), 8.06-23.7 g (mean: 12.7±2.93), respectively. 44 of the supplied specimens were male (25.9%), 122 female (71.8%) and 4 (2.3%) uncertain, thus, the female: male ratio was determined as 2.77:1. According to ?2 test results, a statistically significant difference was observed among individuals. For the specimens examined, the fork length-weight relationship was calculated as W = 0.0098FL2.96, while total length-weight relationship was W = 0.0071TL2.97. in order to calculate the fecundity, sub-samples were taken from the anterior, median and posterior parts of 15 ovaries in the ration of 2 - 5% of the ovary weight and the mature oocytes were counted. As a result, the species’ fecundity was found to be between 4,600- 9,800 (6,110±1,755). the relationship between total length and fecundity was computed as W= 1,640.7 TL-13,907 and a linear relationship was determined
Length-weigth relationships for syngnathid fishes of the Aegean Sea, Turkey
No full textIn this paper we present length-weight relationships of three pipefishes, Syngnathus acus, Syngnathus typhle Nerophis ophidion, and two seahorse species, Hippocampus hippocampus, Hippocampus guttulatus from izmir Bay, on the Turkish coasts of the Aegean Sea. Overall, 1010 specimens of five different species of Syngnathidae were weighed and measured. The sample size ranged from 29 for H. hippocampus to 570 for S. acus. The values of the exponent b in the length-weight regressions (W=aLb) varied between 2.42 (N. ophidion) and 3.54 (S. acus). Linear regressions of length-weight relationships were significant for all species. Positive allometry in weight vs. length for S. acus, isometry in S. typhle and H. hippocampus and negative allometry for H. guttulatus and N. ophidion were observed

Overall, 923 specimens of three different species of the family Macrouridae were weighed and measured. The sample size ranged from 43 for bluntsnout grenadier to 782 for saddled grenadier. The values of the exponent b in the length-weight regressions (W=aL(b)) varied between 2.51 (glasshead grenadier) and 3.49 (bluntsnout grenadier). Regressions of length-weight relationships were significant for all species. Positive allometry in weight vs. length for bluntsnout grenadier, isometry in saddled grenadier, and negative allometry for glasshead grenadier were observed.Amer Fisheries So

Trade and regional development in a developing country: The case of Turkey
No full textOktay, Ertan (Dogus Author) -- Gözgör, Giray (Dogus Author)There is widespread literature investigating the relationship between increasing trade openness and economic development; however the relationship between trade (openness) and regional development remains limited. This paper empirically examines the relationship between trade openness and regional development in Turkey. For this purpose, we initially define the regional development index for 81 provinces in Turkey. The definition is based on the concept and the calculation method of the human development index. We then add a few control variables within panel data estimation frameworks to contribute to the explanations of the relationship. The empirical findings show that the increases in trade openness are positively associated with future increases in regional development. In addition, the levels of government investments positively contribute to regional development. However, a negative relationship exists between the size of a province and its development
