Using a qualitative approach,this research explores how gender roles are constructed, maintained, and challenged within the context of the Italian-American community’s mafia culture, as portrayed in the show. To achieve this goal, a content analysis of selected episodes from the series was conducted, focusing on the portrayal of gender roles and the ways in which they evolved over time. The sample consisted of 10 episodes from different seasons of the show, selected based on their relevance to the study’s research questions. The analysis was guided by a feminist theoretical framework, which acknowledges the role of power and inequality in shaping gender roles and relations. A thematic analysis approach was employed to identify recurring themes and patterns in the data, including the construction of masculinity and femininity, the performance of gender roles, and the challenges to traditional gender norms. The findings of the study suggest that the Italian American Mafia culture’s gender roles are not rigid and unchanging, but rather can vary depending on factors such as social status, age, within the mafia hierarchy. The study provides insight into how gender roles within subcultures can be fluid and how media can affect societal norms around gender. In conclusion, this study contributes to the growing body of literature on the Italian-American Mafia culture and provides insights into the changing dynamics of gender roleswithin this community and sheds light on the ways in which gender roles are shifting within Italian-American Mafia subculture community. Ultimately, this study emphasizes the importance of continuing to examine and question our assumptions about gender roles in all contexts, including those traditionally associated with organized crime.

This message is basically shaped according to the worldview, political attitude and ideology of producer, scenarist or director. Feminist movie criticism makes the things in the sub-text of this narrative visible in order to make audience rethink about the women/men roles presented in cinema. This theory especially unveils the obscure patriarchal discourses in the movies and identifies the conditions in which there is inequality on behalf of women. From this point, David Fincher’s 2014 movie Gone Girl is analyzed in the context of feminist theory. The aim of this work is to reveal the relationship between the movie’s narrative structure and the presentation characters, and the patriarchal values in social field. In other words, it is aimed to show how the movie justifies and strengthens the patriarchal values in social field. Narrative and character analysis is made and to whom, how and why the positive and negative values in the movie universe are attributed is depicted. According to the results gained from the analysis, the movie Gone Girl creates a dilemma of innocent man and devil woman in the heads of the audience and includes many features towards the reestablishment of patriarchal values on behalf of men. At the same time, on the basis of the narrative language, shooting angles and scales, body languages, visual effects, gestures and mimics, it is seen that woman is depicted as bad and psychopath. As a result, the concepts such as innocence and guiltlessness are depicted as the features belonging to men. At the end of the narrative, the mistreated man is forced to live with a woman who deludes everyone with demonic plans.

The anti-semitism, which had risen with the Second World War, has been replaced by Soviet hostility with the spread of Communism and by Muslim hostility as a result of the 9/11 events. Actors with effective mechanisms on a global scale, particularly the western managers, have emerged as the ones who created the new perception of the “enemy” spreading to the international arena, who frozen it in the collective memory and who made it widespread. One of the most important channels in which the perception of the enemy is created is undoubtedly the cinema films. The Islamophobic elements are widespread in the West because of this perception in Hollywood-produced films. Islamophobia, created through films, makes a significant contribution to the expansion of political maneuvering capabilities of the Western states in the international arena, gaining political positions and giving them global legitimacy. From this point of view, it is aimed to reveal the extent of Islamophobic elements in recent Hollywood films and how these elements are structured in those films. In this study, content analysis technique, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used to reveal the current situation. According to the results obtained from the analysis of the research data, both in visual and literary terms, and also in the sub-text, there are many Islamophobic elements in the last period of Hollywood productions which are evaluated here.

Özellikle sahip oldukları geleneksel mimari yapılarının geleceğe taşınması konusunda hassas olunması gereken yerleşim yerleri olan tarihi kentlerde, biçimsel ve anlamsal birlikteliği yansıtan tasarım dilinin çözümlenebilmesi ve bu sayede ortaya çıkan biçimsel kodların analiz edilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu kentlerde, yeni tasarımların/var olan yapıların tarihi referanslardan ve kodlardan yararlanılarak yani geleneksel olana öykünülerek inşa edilmesi/yenilenmesi, geleneksel konut mimarisine ait özelliklerin çağdaş dönemdeki yansımalarını göstermesi, kentin mimari üslubunun ve geleneksel kimliğinin sürdürülebilmesi bakımından önem taşımaktadır. Geleneksel mimarideki anlayışın birebir aynısının yapılması, “geleneksele öykünme” olmayacak ve anlam çelişkisine yol açacaktır.

The roles, the skills and the application processes which are required by the occupations are changing in the context of both the possibilities of internet technologies and personal digital competencies. The competitive environment in the production process normalizes the different expectations of consumers. Therefore, employees have to improve themselves by permanently adapting to the new technologies and software of their field. The ones who work in media sector are also affected by this process. In the climate of constant change, media professionals are needed to fulfil their professional roles successfully by using technologies and software in media field. For vocational mobility, the success which will be shown in digital literacy and digital skills instrumentalizes the profession of indemnification. Because the traditional media productions which are used in the past have recently been replaced by new media technologies. Various interaction environments of the new media have made it necessary for employees to constantly improve themselves in the atmosphere of the change for the design of information, visuals, the development and enrichment of existing information by using data, its reliability, personal professional creativity and sharing. Various interaction environments of the new media have made it necessary for employees to constantly improve themselves in the atmosphere of change for the design of information, visuals, the development and enrichment of existing information by using data, its reliability, personal professional creativity and sharing. Therefore, products and services in the media sector create different transformations both in the sector and on employees. Thanks to the converging technologies in the field of media, employees can act independently of time and space and be visible in the global arena with their professional performance. In this way, with their professional roles which are adapted to new technologies and software, they can stay within the dynamics of the global world and harmonize their business performance with their global stakeholders.

[EN] The current unit labor cost based real exchange rate index published by the CBRT has a limited coverage and comprises only developed countries. Both the low number of countries in coverage, and the limited representation rate, along with the bias towards developed countries, lay the question marks on the use of the current index as a healthy competitiveness indicator. This note introduces the new unit labor cost based real exchange rate indices, calculated for 2003 - 2016 on an annual basis, with extended coverage that reduce the bias towards developed countries. Thereby the indices fulfill the need for more balanced competitiveness indicators and also become comparable with the other consumer and producer prices based real exchange rate indices published by the CBRT. While the current index indicate appreciation of the Turkish lira after 2010, due to the slow recovery of labor markets in Europe after the global financial crisis; the new coverage-extended indices show that the Turkish lira depreciated, in line with the other real exchange rate indicators.

In a retrospective study, single-port access TLH (SPA-TLH) with the OCTO Port was performed on 34 patients with benign gynaecological indications from July 2013 to May 2014 by two surgeons (Ahmet Kale and Hasan Terzi). All patients were divided into two groups. The first 15 patients who underwent SPA-TLH were classified as Group 1, and the second 19 patients who underwent SPA-TLH were classified as Group 2. Patient data were analyzed for age, body mass index (BMI, kg/m(2)), weight of uterus, vaginal cuff suturation time, estimated blood loss, operation time, hysterectomy indications and operative outcomes. The median time needed for the surgery was 75 min in both groups. The duration of suturing of the vaginal cuff was shorter in Group 2 compared with that in Group 1.

In this paper, excess public employment is analyzed under the efficiency wage framework to find out how wage and effort (productivity) differentials between public and private sectors actually affect the labour market or more specifically equilibrium levels of employment, wages and productivity. These differentials are assumed to be exogenous first but later on this assumption is relaxed and they are endogenized. The paper investigates how the total welfare responds to changes in these differentials in terms of two different models. The results show that an effort of raising employment by the government eventually leads to a reduction in total welfare by curbing private employment. We contribute to the existing work by providing a different approach by defining an explicit outside option, namely the g...

Food waste may cause both environmental and economic problem if it is not managed properly; however, it can meet various demands of a country if it is used as a resource. Turkey is a large producer of many fruits and vegetables (e.g. tomatoes, figs, cherries and grapes), and accordingly, solid wastes of these agricultural products constitute an important part of total wastes in Turkey as in other European (EU) countries. Therefore, a proper agricultural waste management system should be designed and used in order to achieve a circular economy. Experts recommend that a gricultural wastes should be utilized for obtaining animal feed, composting material, energy and bioactive compounds or feeding people in need instead of throwing them. The aim of this study is to summarize potential solutions to agricultural food waste problem in Turkey based on scientific literature. Materials and Methods: In this artic...

Various investigators have not agreed on the nature and ranking of these criteria. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the predictive factors for pregnancy rate after controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH)/ IUI. Materials and Methods: Retrospective study of all patients undergoing IUI at Zeynep Kamil Gynecologic and Pediatric Training and Research Hospital from January 2006 to December 2009. In total 980 IUI cycles in 569 couples were analyzed. All women in the study underwent ovarian stimulation using gonadotropin and IUI was performed 36 h after triggering ovulation. The primary outcome measure was clinical pregnancy rates. Predictive factors evaluated were female age, body mass index (BMI), duration of infertility, type of infertility, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level and estradiol (E2) on third day of the cycle, number of preovulatory fol...

otherization towards the different ones have been witnessed. The anti-semitism, which had
risen with the Second World War, has been replaced by Soviet hostility with the spread of
Communism and by Muslim hostility as a result of the 9/11 events. Actors with effective
mechanisms on a global scale, particularly the western managers, have emerged as the ones
who created the new perception of the “enemy” spreading to the international arena, who
frozen it in the collective memory and who made it widespread. One of the most important
channels in which the perception of the enemy is created is undoubtedly the cinema films.
The Islamophobic elements are widespread in the West because of this perception in
Hollywood-produced films. Islamophobia, created through films, makes a significant
contribution to the expansion of political maneuvering capabilities of the Western states in
the international arena, gaining political positions and giving them global legitimacy. From
this point of view, it is aimed to reveal the extent of Islamophobic elements in recent
Hollywood films and how these elements are structured in those films. In this study, content
analysis technique, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used to reveal the
current situation. According to the results obtained from the analysis of the research data,
both in visual and literary terms, and also in the sub-text, there are many Islamophobic
elements in the last period of Hollywood productions which are evaluated here.
