Turkey
Kaizen that applies the philosophy “Welcome problems!” contains 2 -5 days of process and aims to
reduce all kinds of costs with a speedy development. Kaizen remarks the importance of time efficiency
in order to increase the customer satisfaction and competitive power. All the personnel in an institution
is responsible of Kaizen, that includes continous improvements about the process. Kaizen consists of
planning, implementation, sustainability and enlargement sections and improvement process starts
from the purchase of raw materials till the product arrives to the customer. In Kaizen, customer
satisfaction and customer loyalty are very important issues, because it is cheaper to get customer loyalt
than getting new customers. Thus, in Kaizen, quality assurance, minimizing costs and time
management come into prominence.
The first two provisions of Kaizen are “Team starts and finishes a day always together and it is
important to be always in time” and these two statements reveal the importance and indispensability of
time management that aims people to use their time most efficiently. In this study, the importance of
the time management concept in Kaizen philosophy is examined and it is tried to analyse the effects of
time management to the quality assurance and reducing costs. Waste of time is a waste of resources,
and this is not acceptable in professional business life.
Keywords: Kaizen, time management, customer loyalty

Instructor
Department of Literature, Bartın University, Bartın, Turkey
Writers of Old Anatolian Medical Texts didn’t regard to use especially Turkish terms when they create
their works but also they didn’t prefer the terms which belong to foreign languages completely. They
sometimes used the same words with their Turkish forms as well as Arabic, Persian, Greek and Latin
forms. Moreover, they sometimes used the foreign terms and right after they wrote the Turkish version
of this words. They generally preferred the original spellings of foreign terms but they used different
types of spellings especially in Persian, Greek and Latin originated words. That is to say, they didn’t
revealed systematic usages about spelling of this type of words. In this article, we will mention the
possible reasons of this spelling discrepancies and examine the proper examples which are belong to
most important Old Anatolian Medical Texts comparatively.

Associate Professor
Istanbul Universitesi Iletisim Fakultesi Gazetecilik Bolumu Beyazit Istanbul
It is a fact that the social networks have increasingly become the arena of our lives and involve
different aspects of our social presence from day to day. So, it requires people to play some social
roles. The Social Network is gaining more and more importance in today’s world and has a deeper
impact on the society as to the traditional media. Social media enables identity expression,
exploration, and experimentation; something natural for the human experience.
Social and group interactions in online and virtual communities develop and evolve from expressions
of human agency. The exploration of the emergence of agency in social situations has a crucial
importance to understand the psychology of agency and group interactions in social media.
Social media and online communities offer increased possibilities for connection, interaction and
participation but also new media with tools for self-presentation and identity management. Interacting
anonymously or eponymously, having one, none or many identities online expresses richness in online
communication.
This study explores practical aspects of identity construciton, relating to issues virtual communities
and social media. The study discusses elements that may encourage the construction of digital identity
and how the process, which the study refer to as spiral of transformation, reaches beyond the virtual
environment. This study also aims at concentrating on the virtual communities appearing in the social
networks while questioning their social and cultural qualities and values.
Keywords: Social media, virtual community, identity, construction, social networking.

of Turkey
Ugur Gunduz, Burcu Kaya Erdem
Associate Professor, Associate Professor
Istanbul Universitesi Iletisim Fakultesi Gazetecilik Bolumu Beyazit Istanbul
The widespread use of computer-based technologies, such as the Internet and the Web, constitutes a
new dimension in the study of virtual nationalism. The use of distance- and time-shrinking
information technologies, such as social media, virtual communities, and the web sites by nationalist
groups have attracted the structure of the context and discourse of nationalism in the age of
information.
Technological tools play a central role in the organization of society and in the shaping of the
opportunities and constraints, meanings and ways of life. People and groups adapt technology to their
needs and interests, producing transformations in the organization of social life and profoundly
changing the structures of current society. Apart from the basic ideologies and pressure groups the
inetrnet and social media has more a civil, conscious, confident perspective when compared to the
traditional ways of communication.
Networks are the pattern of social life and of dominant functions and processes in the rise of the
network society . Although the relationship between the concept of nationalism and information is
closely tied, the conditions under which networks of information and communication function in
nationalists’ contexts are new.
In this study the nationalist discourse in virtual communities and social media mainly in opposition
and resistance parts in the cultural and social context will be discussed. While analysing some
nationalists’ social media sharings based on hypothesis, inductive method will be used along with
literature review. The study also concentrates on the impact analysis to figure out the negative
consequences of these sharings on focus virtual groups and general users.
Keywords: Virtual nationalism, age of information, social media, virtual community, communication.

ACADEMICIAN MOTHERS’ CONSTRUCTION OF SUBJECTIVITY IN BETWEEN
THE CLAMP OF ACADEMIC PRODUCTION AND BIOLOGICAL
REPRODUCTION
Gulhan Demiriz, Tugce Zeynep Abali
Adnan Menderes University, Department of Sociology, Aydin, Turkey
Motherhood is thought as an area that everything is known about since it is characterised as the result
of women’s “natural”, “instinctual” desire; is seen as the constituent element of their subjectivities;
and, since it has ascribes a kind of holiness because a decent society is thought to be the product of the
mothers. In fact, mostly in sociological terms it is a much unknown area. Because, common-known
knowledge is the product of the patriarchal discourse and the understanding of the motherhood.
Gender-based assumptions and postulates shape this look towards motherhood while they also shape
women’s experiences and their way of looking towards maternity. Therefore, it is crucial to question
the background dynamics of individual narratives related to “womanhood”, “motherhood” and
“practices of ideal motherhood” in order to examine working women’s experiences of the construction
of subjectivity (in terms of tensions, dilemmas, alienation, strategies of adjustment to or open a fault
line in patriarchal system).
Within this framework, the main aim of this research is to examine the background dynamics of
academician mothers’ construction of subjectivity by looking at their narratives of their journeys of
motherhood together with academicianship. In the construction of subjectivity as women, academician
mothers are a group who in a sense force the possibility of reconciliation of motherhood
responsibilities with professional goals and with womanhood. In this respect, academician mothers
establish a field that gives us an opportunity to discover the junction points of main research questions.
In-depth interviews were carried out in order to reveal above mentioned background dynamics by
looking at the experiences of academician mothers’ construction of subjectivity as “women”, as
“mothers” and as “academicians”.

Figun Dinçer, Burcu Kaya Erdem
English Language Teaching Department, Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey
Chuck Palahniuk is an American novelist, who describes his work as transgressional fiction. He is the
author of the award-winning novel Fight Club, which also was made into an film of the same name.
He can be listed in “underground literature” in Turkey as well. Most of his books are translated all
over the world in different languages. The common themes of his works are observed to be social
satire with afflicted characters most of whom are drug users, addicted, outcast, alienated or revolt
against social order. His other novels Lullaby, Diary, Haunted and Rant have similar characters who
search for identity and freedom through violence. Most of his works also share features of “reverse
bildungsroman” in common along with this search. I suggest a close reading this transgressional
fiction through existentialism for a better understanding his works. Thus, this study aims to examine
some feauters of the reverse bildungsroman in The Fight Club through existentialist thought.

Fatma Lorcu, Sevil Demiralay
Trakya University Faculty of Economics & Administrative Sciences, Edirne
In the banking sector which has been experiencing a radical and fast process of change in recent years,
the focus has been concentrated on private marketing, and a fierce competition occurred at credit card
marketing. The competition in the credit card sector has led to an expansion of target consumer group
and students have become one of the key actors within this market. In particular undergraduates who
study banking have great importance for being both target consumers and target employers in the
credit card sector at the same time. Surveying the credit card attitudes of banking students who belong
to a young age group and follow the products and practices in the banking sector would also provide
opportunity to determine the requirements on topics like product planning, marketing, and employee
training.
In this study, the credit card using habits of banking students of the School of Applied Sciences at
Trakya University, and the factors and demographical characteristics playing a role on their habits
have been researched with the help of various parametric and non-parametric tests applied on data
collected by the survey method. Due to survey results, it’s been determined that the factors like
gender, number of possessed cards, monthly expenses and payments by credit cards and have an
impact on the credit card attitudes of the students , besides, the number of possessed credit cards is
directly proportionate to both emotional attitude and confidence in credit card usage.

The Potentialities of Research in Translation Studies as İnterdisciplinary
Mine Yazici
Professor
Department of Translation Studies, İstanbul University, İstanbul, Turkey
Interdisciplinary research provides several opportunities for scientific research especially in the fields
of newly acknowledged disciplines emerging from interdisciplinary relations. Translation studies as
one of the disciplines arising from the complex relatitions can prove not only the potentialities of
interdisciplinary research in the field of social sciences, but also the way interdisciplinary research
contribute to the autonomy of discipline. Furthermore, as a newly emerging discipline it is open to
multidisiciplinary . This paper will define and discuss the origins, objects or subjects of study,
methods, limitations and philosophical stances of research in terms of social sciences so as to
introduce this field of study and its potentialities in research to other old established disciplines .
Within this framework, I will first discuss the dual nature of Translation Studies as a field of study
open both to conceptual and empirical research and discuss why it lay behind other disciplines in spite
of long ages of translation activity held since Antic Age. Next, I will explain the descriptive, cognitive,
causal and applied methods of research conducted in the field of Translation Studies so as to
rationalize why translation studies be considered as a subfield of social sciences as opposed the old
established concept that it is a subfield of humanities. Lastly, I will focus on the nature of relations
Translation studies can develop with other disciplines for prospective ends and the barriers to
overcome limitations in research in the field of social sciences to open up gateways for research
projects.

Sanli ATES
Associate Professor
Çukurova University, Dept of Economics, Adana, TURKEY
This study investigates the validity of verdoorn hypothesis in Turkish manufacturing for the period
1963-2013 by using ARDL bounds test. Verdoorn foresees that there is a linear relationship that has
0.45 regression coefficient between growth rate of output and growth rate of per capita output in the
long-run. The study finds that Verdoorn’s hypothesis is valid for some of Turkish manufacturing
industry. In addition, if we decompose the components of long-run productivity growth, total factor
productivity and investment growth are the main sources of long-run productivity growth, but scale
effects other than transportation vehicles industry is the secondary and weak source.

Instructor Dr.
Foreign Languages Teaching Department Faculty Of Education, Uludağ University, Bursa, Turkey
The present study examines one of the major problems in metaphysics, namely the distinction between
the body and the soul. The distinction is discussed in relation with the metaphysical poetry in
Renaissance Literature in England. Particularly, the study investigates John Donne's "A Valediction:
Forbidding Mourning" in terms of references to the metaphysical problem of the body and soul
distinction. The poem reflects the Platonic Dualism which is relevant to Platonic Love. Firstly,
metaphysical poetry of 17th century English Literature is reviewed. The study specifically focuses on
John Donne as a metaphysical poet. Then, the metaphysical concepts of body and soul in the history of
philosophy until Donne's time are discussed. In this section, the emphasis is on the arguments by
Plato. Finally, John Donne's "Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" is analysed in terms of conceits and
paradoxes. The links among the metaphysical problems of body-soul, Platonic Dualism, Platonic Love
and Donne's Valediction are established. It is concluded that Plato’s distinction between the body and
the soul, and its connection to the idea of Platonic Love can be observed in Donne's Valediction.

İn this paper, a calligraphic tile panel which has a medallion form from the tomb of Eyüp Sultan will
compare with similar period examples as size, meaning and ornament. The panel assembled and
located on the tombs wall during the restoration.
XVI. century was tile art’s peak period. İn this period, geometric ornaments widely used by Seljuk’s
changed with plant ornaments. Floral ornaments used with rumi and clouds. Legendary and realistic
animal ornaments, symbolic motifs and chain ornaments are located in tile art design repertoire. And
also perfect examples of calligraphy took place on tiles. Our ancestors who want to imprinting into
Qur'an language every corner of life has bequathed to us the most beautiful examples of calligraphy art
just as stone works, wall paintings, ornamented plaster windows. The type of calligraphy was Qufi on
Seljuk tiles because of the technical regulations. This tradition carried on principalities period. Thuluth
calligraphy which has been reached it's ideal form preferred at The Ottoman Period. Our first example
is located in the tile arrangement of Süleymaniye Mosque's mihrab wall. These panels placed as
symmetrically, starting with Bismillah Al-Fatiha is written.Second one is from the mihrab tiles of the
Kadırga Sokollu Mosque. These panels located as the same position like Süleymaniye tiles and both
written on Al-Ikhlas. The other example is located on the mihrab of Kılıç Ali Paşa Mosque. It's written
on this tile panel ""Ya Hannan ,Ya Mennan"". Last one is in the Beylerbeyi Mosque mihrab tiles. It’s
written on this panel Al-Ikhlas and it has similarities with Kadırga Sokollu Mosque tiles.
As a consequence, Eyüp panel is different from others as it has a Persian inscription. Therefore, it
must be made for the palace. Compared with others, this panel similar as it has a medallion form, but
it's different from the others as size and meaning.

AN EMPIRE DISCOURSE: USÛL-İ Mİ’MÂRÎ-İ OSMANÎ
Serap Durmus, Nilgun Kuloglu
Assistant Professor
Department of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey
The aim of this study is to discuss the impact of textual representation in the establishment of the
relationship between the Ottoman Empire and Europe. The study investigates the effective role the
book titled Usûl-i Mi’mârî-i Osmanî (Ottoman Architectural Style) compiled in 1873 for World
Exposition Vienna played in the establishment of an architectural theory, and focuses on the
representation of Ottoman in Europe within the framework of Ottoman modernization in the 19th
Century.
The 19th Century is often considered a period where modernization, westernization, language,
representation, culture and so on were discussed as problems to be analyzed. In this context, Usûl-i
Mi’mârî-i Osmanî deserves attention in debates on contemporary architectural texts, as it is one of the
first discourse texts developed with reference to identity, and attempts to establish a link between
cultural identity and architecture. The problems mentioned in the text, and its claims to establish the
forms of architectural thought make it a literal and historical case providing substantial clues regarding
the development of the architectural writing tradition.
Usûl-i Mi’mârî-i Osmanî was prepared by a team headed by İbrahim Edhem Pasha, including Bogos
Şaşıyan, E. Maillard, Marie De Launay, and Pierre Montani Efendi acting as the exposition committee
tasked with preparations for the World Exposition 1873 Vienna (Launay et al. 1873). As the first
scientific and theoretical text produced by Ottomans, on Ottoman architecture Usûl-i Mi’mârî-i
Osmanî occupies an unrivalled place in architecture and history literature (Ersoy, 2015; Morkoç,
2010). Revealing the fact that architecture can be reflected not only through buildings, as it did
throughout its history, but also through texts, the manuscript was written in three languages –Ottoman,
French, and German.
13
The plurality of voices in Usûl-i Mi’mârî-i Osmanî offers its readers a multitude of distinct
perspectives as it presents an empire discourse in Europe. The distinction in question is a function of
the efforts to revisit and re-interpret architectural writing through an interdisciplinary perspective. In
this context, the novel perspective introduced by the study is also about the efforts to make inroads
into the textual realm of the Ottoman through rhetoric, which is effectively the art of ""influential
discourse"" and ""persuasion"". In a nutshell, Usûl-i Mi’mârî-i Osmanî presents a breaking point in the
architectural discourse in its evolution from a personal empire perspective to a bureaucratic empire
vision.

simultaneously with the fascist regimes in Europe (such as Germany and Italy) but is unique and
different. In particular, the 1940s were a period that Turkey's moderate approach to rising nationalist
movements in Europe. This period will be a period also be felt intensly the pressure of the big states
on Turkey. Many of the external developments of the period are reflected in domestic policy. These
reflections, shows itself not only in political life also in other areas especially on the press. Press,
undertakes tasks such as routing people and strengthen the legitimacy of the ruling besides provides
the freedom of information. In this respect, It’s concerned that the news and comments in the press,
directs large masses, effects people and creates perception. Located in a “questionnaire” of one of the
leading newspapers in the Turkish press, “Yeni Sabah”, in this study will be discussed. This
questionnaire was applied to some of the Turkish intellectuals and the results were published in the
newspaper. This questionnaire, probably shaped by under the nationalist tendencies, is an interesting

In order to market he brand more memorable, celebrities or popular people take part in the
advertisements, music, visuals or slogans are used. Furthermore, form time to time bad advertising is
preferred on purpose in order to be catchier. It is still a matter of debate whether there is good
advertising or bad advertising. Yet, to strengthen the brand’s position, differentiate the brand from
competitors and clarify consumer’s perception of brand; a brand needs a good advertising slogan.
After some time, advertising slogans become the equivalent of the brand in consumer’s mind. For
example, “Connecting people” slogan associates with the brand Nokia, although the brand has lost its
sales force today, slogan still keeps the brand in minds.
In this study, advertising slogans of global and Turkish brands are analyzed using text mining. Hidden
but meaningful relations of data set are tried to revealed. Common and different characteristics of
slogans are studied. Global and Turkish brands’ slogans are analyzed using association rules, common
words and their effects on culture are emphasized.

Changes in social and cultural aspects of life along with economic development makesthe analysis
ofentertainment and cultural expendituresextremely important from the economic point of view.
Establishing the link between the change in household entertainment and cultural expenditures would
make it possible for policy makers to understand the relationship between the social and economic
structure and entertainment culture. In addition, the evaluation of the entertainment and cultural
consumption patterns contribute to the formulation of cultural policies. Although there are numerous
studies on household expenditure in Turkey, there are only a few studies dealing with the household
entertainment and culture expenditures. The share of household entertainment and cultural
expenditures in total household expenditure is 3.1% in Turkey and 3.3% in urban area of Turkey in
2014 respectively. Data used in this study extracted from household budget surveys carried out in
2009. A distinctive characteristic of cross section survey studies is that they involve a number of zero
responses regarding consumption of a particular commodity. While applying ordinary least square
method with a data set involving zero responses in great deal results in biased parameter estimates,
excludingzero responses from sample leads to less efficient estimations (Amemiya, 1985). In this case,
empirical studies must be performed by using models with discreet dependent variable taking censored
nature of the sample into consideration. For this reason, in this study determinants of entertainment
and culture expenditures of the Turkish households are estimated employing Tobit model.

In this study, we aim to determine what public savings’ structural location in the analysis of effect
levels that are related to public borrowing requirement to cope with the deviation of financial balances
are, especially after 2009 global crisis in Turkey. Public savings as a financial option take up an
important place in the scope of expressed government budget balances related to public borrowing
requirements which are been increasingly location together with budget deficits. This fact especially is
pertaining to investments and capital's transfers that are subject in the public decision making process
towards economic growth in the future in developing countries like Turkey. Therefore, to increase
public savings’ limits appear on these countries as an inevitable financial phenomenon concerning that
have not sufficiently enough current investment savings to carry out towards the desired investments.
Turkey, as a developing country, has faced in two financial phenomenon that increase borrowing
requirement terms that lead to intend financial balances that have generally deviated after 2009
financial crisis. Firstly, it’s increasing foreign debt burden and the public savings' levels that have not
been enough to cover all the proportion of foreign debt payments since 2009. Secondly, the effect
level of global crisis on the exchange rates that directly causes the deviation of national currency
values as a meaningful important negative impact on budget balances that are aimed at together with

Mustafa Kemal University I.I.B.F. Antakya/HATAY/TURKEY
The increase of ICT channels sustained that there exist more efficient employer and employee match
up, and it facilitated the emission of knowledge which was firstly thought that would decrease the rate
of unemployment. Because of this reason, the aim of this study is to question the causality between
ICT channels and unemployment via panel data analysis method. According to the data which was
taken from 41 countries within the period of years 1980-2012, an analysis was performed and it was
found that there exists a causality relation between unemployment and ICT. When the results of
analysis was evaluated together, a causality relation from unemployment towards ICT was observed.
The results belonging to the countries were evaluated individually, and a causality relation from ICT
towards unemployment was determined in China, Finland, France and Israel. This relation is bilateral
within the countries as Greece, Italy and Korea. The causality case for Australia, Chili, Panama and
Uruguay was seen from unemployment towards ICT. The changing of this causality relation can be
derived from the differentiation in the income level.
Thanks to the ICT channels, the sustained knowledge exchange will increase the effective match
between employer and employees. Transaction costs would be decreased, and the obtained saving
could be transferred into the production, thus the unemployment would decline. Moreover, the easing
condition of accessing the knowledge via ICT channels will increase the qualifications of labor force.
The ICT investments can be used as policy tool in challenging with unemployment.

short stories, essays and poems about Istanbul. Istanbul, with its historic fabric, eclectic structure and
as being of bridge between east and west has been remarkable for not only native artists but also
foreign artists.
Ahmet Hamdi Tanpınar’s novels, short stories and essays are filled with views of Istanbul. Istanbul

Machinery Sector
Mehmet Burak CERAN, Baki Yilmaz
PhD Student
Akoren MYO, Selcuk University
Technological developments, the disappearance of borders between countries as a result of
international trade agreements, and the global market strategy of businesses that results in global
competition require businesses to operate in a highly competitive environment. Constantly shifting
conditions of competition in today's economy, businesses are compelled to sustain a competitive
advantage over their competitors beyond surviving under harsh conditions of competition.
Determination of correct costing method provides the businesses with getting rid of unnecessary costs
and increasing profitability to succeed in international competition. The high speed of technological
advances accelerates the transition from labor-intensive production to technology-intensive
production. In the course of this transition, the traditional costing methods prove unable to give
accurate results. As a result, modern costing methods have been developed. One of these modern
costing methods which is time-driven activity-based costing will be discussed in this study. Also its
application in agricultural machinery sector will be assessed with a survey.

The Share of Defense Expenditures in National Economies within the Context of Arms
Race
Hulusi Ekber KAYA
Instructor
Trakya University Kesan Yusuf Capraz School of Applied Disciplines
The budget allocated to the defense expenditures in many countries seems to be at the top most of the
time. The defense expenditures are quite high especially in countries which are close to the battle
fields geographically where the tension has been high from past to present or in the ones who wants to
play an active role in those areas. The Middle East is an obvious example for this topic. Defense
services are essential for a country. Countries spend their resources both for foreign and domestic
safety while developing technologies for this purpose. They either produce the technology themselves
or import it, which results in arms race in the international arena. While the countries with greater
economies carry on the race, the countries with shaky and fragile economies are dragged into
economic crises. The victory of the USA over the USSR in the Cold War or the current crisis that
Greece has been going through which has been a result of the arms race with Turkey can be good
examples. In this study, the share of the defense expenditures in national economies will be reviewed
based on the motives for defense expenditures within the scope of arms race.

Harnessing ideas have always been important for organisations. They have harnessed ideas mostly
from internal sources such as employees. Today, the world is more open and innovation is more
important for all kinds of organisations to compete and be successful in the hyper-competitive
environment. Thus, they need get not just internal ideas, but also external ideas too. An ideagora is a
marketplace for minds. Crowdsourcing platforms such as "acikinovasyon.com" provide ideagoras for
organisations and individuals; in other words, they bring seekers and solvers together. "No matter who
you are, most of the smartest people work for someone else,” as Bill Joy once said, it is possible to
harness lots of useful ideas from many individuals outside of the firm and use them for business
practices. This study aims to explain what is crowdsourcing, how it can be used for business
innovation practices and "acikinovasyon.com" platform as a case study by examining the website and
its contents.

Department of Art History, Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey
The etymological concept of the word pseudo-cufic is in Greek “pseudo” means “liar” and “cufic”
(kûfi) is used as a writing font in the Arabic alphabet. These verses because of not providing a
meaningful text mostly have taken their places in architecture as wall decorations. Besides the front
part they also have seen in frescoes. Not only in architecture pseudo-cufic decoration also encountered
in samples of handicrafts, textiles, glass, ceramics and metals. It requires us to question in which
points and the ways that the interaction has become as the examples of these ornoments used as
meaningless texts are having similarities to the letters of the Arabic alphabet and even some of them
have been exactly copied from letters. Therefore, in this study, the pseudo-cufic applications in
Byzantine architecture will be explained with a statement of how the kufi letters have come to
Byzantine architecture from different regions.

From the blooming of Islam at the scene of history in VII. Century Muslims had religional, political,
military and cultural relations with Byzatines and those relations have drawn attention of researchers.
In the term of Abbasids in which commercial activities got importance, economical dimension had
added to the cruising relations in political, military and cultural areas in the time of the Prophet, the
Four Caliphs and Emevids. The Abbasid-Byzatine commercial activities stands as a few researced
subject except the study of W.Heyd. Before the conquests of Islam Byzantines had the superiority
knew no rivalry in Mediteranean Sea. Coasts at the end of Asian trade were in their hands; Egypt
where Redsea unloaded Eastern goods, Syria where caravans took the road from Persian Gulf, Central
Asia unloaded their goods and the secondary points of Black Sea which Eastern trade had interested in
were all in their hands. However bereaving those by Arabs arose a situation that upset commercial
benefits of Byzantium. One of the roads by which Eastern goods transfered to West was Trabzon.
Thus Ibn Havkal told Trabzon as warehouse of Eastern products. There was a city where the bazaar
that Circassians, Muslims,Byzantines and Armenian traders visited every year did set up. At this point,
our main problem is that Muslims’ goods reaching there by which region of Abbasid State. In this
term primary bazaars that exchange was done were Antakya and Aleksandria beside Trabzon. This
study intends to take attention to commercial relations between Abbasids and Byzantium.

The Hobbesian Trap and the Harem
FATMA DORE
Assistant Professor
Afyon Kocatepe University, Faculty of Arts and Science, Department of Sociology
This paper will demonstrate that for Thomas Hobbes, man has the right of self-preservation and the
obligation to act in accordance with that right. The problem of this obligation is that there can be no
objective method for an individual to determine an existential threat, but only a subjective one. It is the
subjective judgement of the individual that leads to the problem of pre-emptive violence or the
Hobbesian Trap. As the individual is left to determine a threat to his life, he has the obligation to
neutralize that threat regardless of the intention of this supposed treat and regardless of whether he
wishes to act violently. This paper will also examine how, by expanding the concept of the “self” that
is obliged to be defended in accordance with an observation of Hobbes, the Hobbesian Trap can
additionally encompass perceived threats to one’s self-regard or honour. This paper will reveal that
within the frame story of The Thousand and One Nights, such a broad-based Hobbesian Trap is in
operation in the action of Shahriyar in his execution of his newly-wedded wives on the morning after
consummating his marriages to them. It will demonstrate that he acts pre-emptively to protect what he
regards as potential threats to his honour. It will finally show that one method for defusing the
Hobbesian Trap is through trust-building, and that Shahrazad wins the confidence of Shahriyar thus
causing him to spare her life and abandon pre-emptive bride killing, which is “salvation” for him.

Cultural heritages are a national treasure keeping the ancient memories of the society inherited from
past generations. It is significantly important to transfer this accumulation of knowledge to the
children of computer age who use technology skills for communicating, investigating, accessing and
using information about everything. Therefore, we need new and technology based methodologies to
reach these people. The aim of this study is to take advantage of 3D game technologies to prepare a
virtual museum platform which will be used as an interactive guide by millions of people all around
the world. This paper describes the integrated methods for generating the required platform using 3D
modelling techniques and game engines. Hagia Sophia Museum, which was chosen as a world
heritage site by UNESCO in 1985, is selected as the case study area for this study. The result of the
study is a life-like and realistic real-time 3D virtual museum not only giving visual materials but also

Cem Kırlangıçoğlu, Mehmet Fatih Döker, Uğur Karahan
Sakarya Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi
Today, everywhere is under construction. We build new houses, plazas, shopping centers, railway
systems and etc. Some people design our lifestyles while designing these buildings. How many of
designers think about human behaviours, crowd dynamics, possible circulation difficulties, pedestrian
flow or congestion problems inside and outside of these buildings? The aim of this study is to show
the importance of human based design processes for more liveable and safer spaces. This study
focuses on the application of microscopic pedestrian simulation techniques in the design process of a
high density metro station which is used by tens of thousands of people every day. The case study area
is selected as Haram Area West Metro Station of the first metro line of Madinah Al-Munawwarah,
Saudi Arabia. According to the predictions, nearly 40.000 passengers are expected to use this station
in one hour during Ramadan High Peak period in the year of 2040. The results of this study show the
benefits of using pedestrian simulation technologies to define the problematic areas of designs where
people experience high density, congestion, discomfort, frustration, inconvenience, dissatisfaction and
etc. This study should be seen as a first step towards understanding the underlying behavioural nature
of human for ideal designs and solutions.

Dorit Alt, Nirit Raichel
Regional Centre Zemach, Jordan Valley 15132, Israel
VaKE (Values and Knowledge Education) is a didactical approach based on the principles of
constructivism both for knowledge acquisition and for value education. It utilizes open teaching
methods and non-directive principles of interaction that are orientated to the aptitudes of the individual
learner. A case study describing the teachers' experiences with VaKE in the framework of LLAF, will
be presented in the context of a specific course dealing with instructional approaches in teaching for
undergraduate college students, enrolled in the Education and Community BA program. This study
used a qualitative case study which is an approach to research that facilitates exploration of a
phenomenon within its context using several data sources. The VaKE experience included two
dilemmas, formulated by the students, based on their professional experience. The facilitators of
VaKE have edit the dilemmas and omit personal references. The teachers of the course functioned as
an ‘orchestrators of the learning’ clearly defined functions and responsibilities within the process. The
students had to follow the steps of the VaKE process. Experiences of teachers and students were
gathered by open-ended questions. The students reported having learned and acquired new
information, and linked newly learned theories to authentic dilemmas. The teachers' reflections raised
several challenges, for example, presenting a dilemma, designed by the students, can narrow down the
story to a personalized dilemma, thus, linking other students to the story and make it relevant to them
can become difficult. Interpretation of the findings and implications for future research are discussed.

Associate Professor
Department of Eastern Languages and Literatures
Based on Düsap’s identity as a woman and as an author; her works and themes in her works will be
analyzed in this article. Sırpuhi Düsap who was born in 1841 in İstanbul has a special place in
Armenian literature and among Armenian women writers. Along with being the first female writer
using Armenian language, she is a significant intellectual who contextualized women’s lives. During
the modernization period of the Ottoman Empire that had great impacts on diverse areas and especially
on literature, Düsap kept up with the discussions on ‘‘equality’’. Also by the influence of the
modernization in the Western world; Düsap started to write about women’s situations living in the
Ottoman Empire. She dwelled upon the issues on women and women’s place in the society, in order to
create awareness about these social problems. Düsap who had a good level of education, by taking into
account the period that she lived, opened various schools and theatres and participated in publishing
newspapers and journals. Düsap generally focused on the problems of the educated, middle and upper
-class women in her works.
Works she had put down on paper have an important influence both on her successors and her
contemporaries. Sibil, Zabel Yasayan and Arşaguhi Teotig are the most important writers among who
had been influenced by Düsap’s work. Düsap is an important intellectual who had a significant impact
both on Turkish and Armenian women, believed that women should work and stand on their own legs
and included these themes into her works.
Düsap from this aspect; was a woman writer who influenced both her successors and contemporaries.
She has three novels titled; Mayda (1883), Siranuş (1884) and Araksiya (1887). Düsap in her first
novel Mayda emphasized the prejudice against widows. It has been asserted that; Düsap in Mayda,
objected the ‘‘natural’’ superiority of men. On the other hand, in her novel named Siranüş which was
written in 1884, it can be seen that women are more powerful against the androcentric society. She
pointed out that; women are sacrificed by their fathers and husbands and criticized the prearranged
marriages. In her last novel, Araksiya (or Mürebbiye), Düsap; gives wide coverage to gender
inequality, rivalry among families and women who had been negatively influenced by these issues.

Lifelong Learning in Applied Fields (LLAF Tempus Funded Project): Two case studies
on Problem-Based Learning
Dorit Alt, Nirit Raichel
Regional Centre Zemach, Jordan Valley 15132, Israel
Problem-Based Learning (PBL) is focused on solving authentic problems. It fits within the
constructivist theory of learning, which envisages learning as an active process by which students
build new ideas and concepts based on their own knowledge. In PBL students center on a complex
problem that does not have a single correct answer. They work in collaborative groups to identify what
they need to learn in order to solve a problem; engage in self-directed learning and then apply their
new knowledge to the problem. PBL will be exemplified by two case-studies that were conducted in
the LLAF project, in a course entitled: Introduction to informal education. In this course learning is
based on reading academic articles and finding literature describing case studies and field experiences
about the characteristics of informal education, its components, dimensions and its spheres of activity.
Multicultural groups of students, enrolled in the Education and Community BA program, collected
materials regarding the nature of informal education. The students searched for authentic questions
that concerned them with relation to an overarching question: How to motivate youth to get involved
in the community and society? To answer the questions raised, they collected materials and
interviewed professionals. The students synthesized theory and findings from the field, followed by
group and class discussions in light of the academic articles read by the group members. The
presentation will include: a description of the learning process and its evaluation. Implications of these
findings for the LLAF project will be discussed.

Menu is one of the important instruments of the interaction with customers in the food and beverage
industry. The need of change in menus in small or medium sized food and beverage enterprises can be
different from chain and big businesses. As “entrepreneur” factor in SMEs is in the forefront, the role
of entrepreneur becomes more important in the decision of menu changing. The owners or managers
of the enterprise are affected by their environment, their observations, experiences and attitudes when
it comes to decision of menu changing. In this study, the effects of the behavioral dimension of
entrepreneurial attitudes are examined in terms of menu changing in the small or medium sized food
and beverage enterprises. The reason for addressing only the behavioral dimension is to determine the
effects of an entrepreneur on menu changing through his/her behaviors within the frame of certain
attitudes. As a data collection tool, the scale of behavioral dimension within the scale of
entrepreneurial attitude formed by Robinson et al. (1991) is used. The population of this study consists
of food and beverage enterprises registered to Fethiye Chamber of Commerce and Fethiye Chamber of
Merchants and Craftsmen; the sample is all the enterprises within the population which participate in
this study voluntarily. In the data analysis process, absolute and percentage values, factor analysis,
Chi-Square analysis and correlation analysis are applied. According to results of the study, it was
determined that innovative entrepreneurs prefer to make some changes in the menu due to the fact that
the previous one has no longer reflect the image of their business; entrepreneurs in the personal
success category prefer to make some changes in the menu due to the fact that the previous one has no
longer reflect the image of their business and also they could continue their competition with other
businesses; and lastly, analytical entrepreneurs prefer to make some changes in the menu so as to
follow new trends in the industry.

BUSINESS JUDGMENT RULE IN TURKISH CORPORATE LAW PARTICULARLY
A COMPARISON WITH SELECTED LEGAL SYSTEMS
Sevgi BOZKURT YAŞAR
Assistant Professor
Uludag University, Faculty of Law, Gemlik/Bursa, TURKEY
At this study, the business judgment rule which is a principal for the limitation of examining of the
board of directors and officers decisions by courts was analysed. The business judgment rule provides
to protect and promote free exercise of the managerial power of joint stock companies directors.The
rule was developed as a common law doctrine and considerable influence, particularly in the State of
Delaware. This principle was also adopted in Australian Corporate Law in 1999 and South African
Companies Act in 2008.
When man view the Continental European Law system, it can be determined that the principle is
recently more used as a instrument to reduce liability and protect decisions of directors. While the
principle was implanted with the amendments of German Stock Corporation Act i.e. Act on Corporate
Integrity and Modernisation of Avoidance Rights in 2005, the legislator of Switzerland and Turkey is
reluctant to enactment of the rule. However the principle is subject to jurisprudence and academic
studies in Switzerland and Turkey.
The business judgment rule excusing board of directors from liability of their business decisions so
long as directors act on an informed basis, in good faith and in the honest belief that the action was
taken in the best interest of the company. The rule is described as a presumption in American version
while in the other countries -which were adopted the principle- some differences are observed in the
practice.

1. “Life, Bureaucratic Missions, and Wealth of Koca Sinan Pasha (1520-1596)”
Cafer Ciftci
Professor
Department of History, University of Uludag, Bursa, Turkey
Sinan Pasha, who was named as “the Conqueror of Tunisia”, “The Conqueror of Yemen” and “Great”
[Koca] in the sources, was one of the most famous, powerful, and wealthy statesmen of the Ottoman
History. It is known that the pasha was appointed to different missions of the state and has reached the
rank of grand vizier five times. In accordance with his fame and fortune, life and bureaucratic missions
of Sinan Pasha have been taken into consideration in various studies. For our intention is to participate
the conference with a panel titled as “Competence, Power and Wealth in Ottoman Bureaucracy: The
Example of Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha and his Foundations”, the first speech of the panel is to
deal with the topic at introductory level as it would be expected. Nevertheless, except the studies
focused on the issue, the pieces of information based on the main sources of the topic, namely
vakfiyes (foundation registration documents), which give us a clue about the life of Sinan Pasha will
be manifested at the introductory stage of the speech. The information on the Bureaucratic missions
and life of the pasha will be presented based on the texts produced by his friends and foes, summaries
[telhis] he wrote, published mühimme registers [mühimme defteri], and works of historical
chroniclers.
The main focus of the paper is movable and immovable wealth accumulated by Sinan Pasha during his
lifetime. The topic is still not dealt with a proper research. The most reliable sources that may inform
us about the wealth of the pasha are the vakfiyes which are in fact, registry documents of the
foundations he established. An important amount of these vakfiyes are located in the archives of
Directorate General of Foundations in Ankara. A great deal of documents about the topic are also
available in Ottoman Archives of Prime Ministry in İstanbul, in sub fond called Sinan Pasha fond,
under the foundations fond, and in many other fond. In accordance with the whole information
gathered from these sources, movable and immovable wealth of Sinan Pasha will be evaluated, and the
accusations made by chroniclers about the amount and the ways of the accumulation of his wealth will
be taken into consideration.

Koca Sinan Pasha Foundations: Purpose of Establishment, Functionality, and Its
Analysis in Terms of Employment
Hasan Basri Ocalan
Associate Professor
Department of History, University of Uludag, Bursa, Turkey
It is known that in the Ottoman State many services were rendered by the foundations and these
foundations were established particularly by the leading administrators of the state. The Grand Vizier
Koca Sinan Pasha has spent a great portion of his wealth for the charitable institutions he founded on
various locations of the Ottoman land. Having a look through the vakfiyes he had prepared for his
foundations, each of which are books approximately a hundred pages long, it can be seen that Sinan
Pasha has founded charitable institutions in cities like Damascus, Cairo, Yenişehir, Malkara, Istanbul
and Kaçanik, and donated a great deal of movable and immovable wealth for these foundations. Sinan
Pasha who in these cities established religious institutions like Mosques, dervish lodges, and prayer
houses, educational institutions like schools and madrasas, and social charitable institutions like ribats,
imarets, inns, baths and fountains explained in his vakfiyes how these foundations were to work an
whom and how to benefit from them. Especially from his vakfiye for the imaret it is possible to get the
specifics for the services rendered and conditions for benefiting from them.
The vakfiyes in Archives of Directorate General of Foundations in Ankara, some of which can be
found in original Arabic form and some survives in copies, and documents about functions of Sinan
Pasha foundations in Ottoman Archives of Prime Ministry are the first hand sources and of crucial
importance for the research on the topic. After reading of the vakfiyes and the other documents, the
information gathered from them will be evaluated from different perspectives. Primarily, the
information will be analyzed in terms of employment. As a result of an evaluation of the vakfiyes it
can be seen that Sinan Pasha has appointed a huge staff for his foundations and created a great deal of
employment. It is possible to observe that the pasha created positions which cannot be seen in some
other foundations, and assigned multiple “tasks” to a single servant in order to create a greater
employment.

Range of Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha Foundations through the Ottoman Land
Sezai Sevim
Associate Professor
Department of History, University of Uludag, Bursa, Turkey
Foundations of Koca Sinan Pasha were scattered over a wide area under Ottoman rule from the Middle
East to Asia Minor and the Balkans. It is a curious fact that the foundation buildings or the foundations
for different services can be found in the centers of big cities and in some small towns alike. Why
these settlements were preferred for the foundations? For this point, factors like populations of the
settlements during the time of establishment, presence or absence of other foundations in the area, or
the foundations’ links and missions related to the settlement should be taken into consideration.
My paper proposal titled as “Range of Grand Vizier Koca Sinan Pasha Foundations through the
Ottoman Land” will be evaluated in the panel within the aforementioned framework. Basing the work
on the vakfiyes the pasha prepared for his foundations, his foundation establishments which can be
spotted on many locations from Damascus to Cairo, or from Skopje to Yenişehir, and movable and
immovable grants reserved for keeping these foundations up and functioning will be detected
regionally. By the help of this research it can also be possible to reach some other pieces of
information indirectly. For example, by detection of the granted arable lands and its harvesting
amount, agricultural structure of a region can be enlightened.
The main sources employed for preparation of the paper are the vakfiyes belonging to Koca Sinan
Pasha foundations. The multiplicity and enormous size of the vakfiyes stand as a hardship for the
research. However, by a collective study on the vakfiyes and a cooperative effort spent together with
the other panelists who are interested in different aspects of the topic, the hardship can be eliminated.
In addition to the vakfiyes, some other archival documents are also to be included. For example, the
tax registers (tahrir defterleri) can be important sources for evaluation of the population of the
settlement where the foundation was established and for estimating how big the population the social
complexes were serving along with the others.

Koca Sinan Pasha in Literary and Historical Sources: The Dilemma of Philanthropy
and Cruelty
Sadettin Egri
Associate Professor
Department of Turkish Language and Literature, University of Uludag, Bursa, Turkey
Koca Sinan Pasha who left his mark over the Ottoman History as a statesman by the foundations he
established and his hundreds of charitable deeds, was also severely criticized and insulted during his
life time and after his death. The pasha has reached to the rank of grand vizier for several times, and
became famous for his character, his wealth, his reforms in administration, and for his foundations.
The criticism about his statesmanship seems sometimes organized and for personal reasons for the
other. As we can see different examples fluently in the literary and historical texts and in some
different documents, the reasons and sources of the criticism and insult can vary. Openly or indirectly
declared, written or orally expressed criticism could derive from opinion of society or a social group,
or can be explained by personal ambition, grudge, or expectations of a poet or author. Some
characteristics of criticism toward Sinan Pasha which also finds its reflection in poetry deserves some
attention. He is pictured as person who is revengeful, narcissist, cruel, weak for money, ignorant of
competence, without grace and kindness, violating the customs of patronage, bribing, unfairly
prospering, and showing hostility towards the men of the arts and sciences.
The Turkish statesmen were expected to protect and support the men of sciences and arts, especially
the poets, in accordance with the traditional framework of patronage. Although the statesmen of the
Ottoman era were generally loyal to this traditions, there were also exceptional figures like Rüstem
Pasha, Sokollu Mehmed Pasha, and Koca Sinan Pasha who were strongly against this approach and
taking the poets in no means as men of scientific mastery. Undoubtedly, it was a factor for criticism
that the expectations of support and patronage for the poets were never met by Sinan Pasha. However
this statesman is also ridiculed and even insulted for his policies, life, actions and character in
historical chronicles too. It is a dilemma that a man of philanthropy like Sinan Pasha is called as “dog,
carrion, filthy, or donkey corpse” after his death and criticized for location and physical features of his
grave. In Turkish tradition and in Islamic approach a deceased man is generally remembered with
good intentions, no matter how bad he actually was. One of the reasons why Sinan Pasha was not
approached in this manner was undoubtedly due to the personality of his son Muhannes Mehmed
Pasha.

A READING OF THE RELATION BETWEEN INORGANIC MODERNIZATION
AND MASS MEDIA IN THE CONTEXT OF AGNOTOLOGY The Case of the "İşte
Benim Stilim: All Star" Program
BURCU KAYA ERDEM
Associate Professor
FACULTY OF COMMUNICATION, ISTANBUL UNIVERSITY, ISTANBUL, TURKEY
The relation between modernization and mass media has been examined by many academic studies in
communication and sociology literature. The aim of this study is to present the argument that the
relation between scrutiny and the new social appearances, which are mediated by technology, cannot
be seen regardless of agnotology. Because of the perception that science, culture and knowledge are
consciously manipulated and used for different purposes, including marketing, and the role of mass
media in this process, it can only make sense with the concept of ""agnotology"" by Robert N. Proctor,
history scientist, in mind. This concept is explained as ""the cultural production of ignorance"".
The concept of agnotology is mainly used with ""modernization"" because Turkish modernization,
which is a unique modernization practice, reflects a superficial modernization approach that is
deprived of mental stimulation and philosophical knowledge and reduced to visual resemblance and/or
imitation. The superficial modernization practices, that is, the practices void of a deep intellectual
dimension, which are used in Turkish modernization, are still produced and upheld by the media in
this society of scrutiny which is built by the mass media today in cooperation with the government in
power. After the mainstream culture of modern society and mass media began replicating the culture
of the minority and made it their own, the ""cultural production of ignorance"" has become more
common and gained a new meaning. This popularization and meaning will be examined with a critical
analysis of ""İşte Benim Stilim: All Star"", which uses the words ""modern"" and classy"" in its
teasers.

Epistemological and Political Origins of John Locke’s Limited State Concept
Mumin Koktas
Assistant Professor
Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Yildirim Beyazit University, Ankara,
Turkey
John Locke is one of the precursors of the eighteenth-century Enlightenment movement and the
founders in the formation of modern political thought. It is almost impossible to make sense any
discussion about modern politics, such as natural rights, constitutional order, tolerance, limited state,
epistemology, without taking into account Locke’s explanations. Besides, Locke is one of the founders
of both British and American political thought. In other words, modern British and American
governments and political thoughts have been founded upon Locke’s insights. Locke's works can be
divided into two general categories. These works are mainly about epistemology (An Essay
Concerning Human Understanding, 1690) and political philosophy (Two Treatises of Government,
1689). However, Locke’s thought is handled separately from each other because of this distinction in
general. In this respect, Locke is presented as a thinker who has two main trends unrelated to each
other. So one would see a thinker dealing with human knowledge problem on the one hand and a
thinker writing about politics on the other side. However, Locke's epistemology and political
philosophy associated inseparably from each other. In this paper, Locke’s epistemology and political
philosophy will be considered together through the concept of limited state. The concept of limited
state is one of the best ways to connect human knowledge and political theory. In the most general
sense, political activities of the state to control and regulate all aspects of human life should be limited
because our knowledge is limited understanding the external world in a perfect way.

Campobasso, Italia
The digital environments are leading to the emergence of an inevitable decay and deterioration of
traditional cognitive faculties including the ability to concentrate and memory. Parallel perspectives
speak of new skills and styles of attention as a response to the digital environment strategies
characterized by an information glut that is unprecedented in human history. Also McLuhan says that
the media change our nature without our be conscious.
Main actors of this dialectic are Nicolas Carr (2011) and Howard Rheingold (2013), which
respectively respond to the questions of why the internet makes us stupid or intelligent.
Carr argues that Internet, understood as the multifaceted set of always-connected digital devices,
decreases the quality of our cognitive mode of attention and memory, making us lose some intellectual
faculties as the deep reflection and richness of collective and individual memory. The continuous
stresses of the digital environments do not enable the attention focused and the deep reflection.
According to Rheingold, however, the network can make more intelligent provided that you acquire
certain skills. In order for Internet to become a profitable environment is necessary an education on its
use without which the experience of new media will raise an unmanageable chaos.

in today’s society. In parallel with modernism, the fact that the violence phenomenon is increasing and
gaining different aspects leads questioning the effect of social environment, technology and media on
the child’s socializing process. In addition to the socio-cultural structure of the family which has the
first impact on the child’s socializing, the impact of the techonological devices’ place in family life on
violence should not be underestimated.

The Effects of Socio-economic, Ideational and Demographic Factors on Having Children
in Turkey in the Context of Demographic Change
Cevat Bilgin, Handan Kaynar Bilgin
Assistant Professor
Department of Econometrics, Cukurova University, Adana, Turkey
The mortality and fertility rates in the industrialized countries have decreased during the twentieth
century. The population growth have slowed down and the proportion of the old people has increased
in this process which is defined as demographic change . Social, ideational, economic factors,
individual and institutional changes led by modernization have been fairly effective on having
children; the desired number of children has been decreasing over time. In this context, compulsory
education, legal marriage age, increase in women's labor force participation, individualism and
secularization have remarkable effects on the behaviors of having children. Turkey has been
experiencing similar process. The fertility rate in 1960s was around 6, but the same rate have turned
out as 1.96 in 2015. According to the population projections on Turkey, the fertility rate will continue
to decrease. Under these circumstances, the population is expected to fall and there is an expectation
of population aging. In this paper, the factors affecting having children are searched. In addition, the
magnitudes and directions of these effects on having children are being analyzed. For this aim, the
ordered probit model is estimated by using the data on Turkey derived from World Values Survey
database. The dependent variable is defined as the number of respondent's children; the independent
variables are importance of religion, the level of happiness, fatalism, marital status, financial

Historiography of Ancient Food History Writing

Department of History, Faculty of science and Art, University of Recep tayyip Erdogan, 53100, Rize,
Turkey
The object of this study is to analyze research conducted on Ancient Greco-Roman cuisine and the
era’s typical palate, which are subjects within the scope of history, sociology and kitchen habits, in
terms of topic-source and scope and reveal the traces that they have left behind. Thus, the topic will
become much clearer and provide a road map for new studies. Athenaeus of Naucratis must have been
the first to write about the ancient history of food. The author who lived in 2nd century A.D. managed
to record the eating habits of the ancients by penning excerpts from Greek and Latin literature and
showcased them to the reader, while saving many works from disappearing off the face of the earth. In
the last 50 years, research on typical palates and eating habits, which have taken a back seat to
discussions on wars and political views for years, has been increasing rapidly since the 1950s. The
translation of classical texts into modern languages, the accumulation of knowledge which emerged as
a result of conducting archaeo-botanical studies more meticulously and certain institutions addressing
this topic, resulted in an increase in the research carried out on ancient eating habits. It can be seen that
research on the topic is centered on institutions in the UK. and France, and thanks to the contributions
of the research conducted in Germany and America, an intercontinental accumulation of knowledge
has been achieved. Although research between 1950 and 1990 focuses on the overall tendency of
ancient nations’ eating habits, research between 1990 and 2010 concentrates on textual analysis,
regional food preferences and the economic impacts of food products. However, in the recent years the
research at large has examined food’s relationship with health, religion, politics and philosophy as
well as how eating habits shape sociocultural life. Whereas the commentaries of classical age texts and
Archeo-Food essays, which have appeared as a result of know-how put forward by research in the last
20-30 years, aim to recreate the era’s typical palate as close to the original as possible.

“Space” as a Phantasmagorical Production Tool for Power in the Context of Lefebvre’s
Theory of Space: “Production of Space” in Turkish Political Communication from
Palaces to Balconies
BURCU KAYA ERDEM, REMZİ BİLGE
Department of Journalism,Communication Faculty, University of Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey
Since power can fundamentally be organized as the ability to control others’ behaviors with or without
their consent, it is also capable of producing the space within which it exists. According to Lefebvre,
who coined the concept of the production of space in order to explain how power enables tyranny,
exploitation and control in daily life through the occupation of spaces, the source of space is rhythms
that originate within the body and desire to be heard. In this sense, it is phantasmagorical or
illusionary. Space is not only the context of architectural narrative, nor a simple thing that requires no
inquiry. Space is the context of the conditions of the individual’s existence, society and power. In
other words, it is the context of all the narratives associated with life. This study will conduct a
semiological analysis of examples of the use of space in Turkish political communication history in
order to explain that space is an important part of the communication methods used by political actors
to have their ideological aims approved and to achieve their goals. Yet, as Althusser also argues,
ideologies are transferred to individuals by the ideological tools of the state, which is implicitly
founded on the ideology of the dominant class. Ceremonies, formal services and meetings are held in
spaces that carry traces of power. Thus, tracing the spaces where different powers have come into
contact with people throughout the history of Turkish political communication will give us hints about
their differentiating capabilities and choices.

Reflection of aspect category in Russian to Turkish within the framework of tense
category
Leyla Cigdem Dalkılıc
Assistant Professor
Department of Russian Language, Ankara University, DTCF, 45/45A Sihhiye/ANKARA
The Russian language has become one of the languages in high demand in Turkey, especially in recent
years. Interest in Russian has shown itself not only in course offerings but also in scientific studies.
The desire to understand the linguistic structure of Russian and Turkish - which belong to different
linguistic families - has accelerated these studies. This linguistic difference appears most starkly in
aspect and tense categories of both languages. The aim of this paper is to show: the use of aspect
category in Russian, which is not as clearly present in Turkish as it is in Russian, how it can be
translated to Turkish and the difficulties or dilemmas encountered in this process. Verbs with the same
lexical meaning but different grammatical meanings in Russian are divided into two types: perfective
and imperfective. Aspect category is the speaker’s way of describing what he/she saw subjectively,
evaluated and witnessed from his/her own perspective. In a sense, it also transfers a specific linguistic
world view. In that respect, although infinitive verbs belong to two different categories in Russian, this
is a feature which occurs only in conjugation. In this sense, “vid” represents an internal meaning
which is present in the suffix, not in the infinitive verb. In Turkish however – unlike in Russian aspect is not present as a grammar category. The difference in terms of tense category between the two
languages brings along certain semantic difficulties. Since each conjugated verb indicates a certain
time, aspect and tense categories are evaluated simultaneously in Russian. Meanings of aspect
category in Russian, which are present in verb lexemes and become clear with conjugations, are
revealed in tenses in Turkish. In this study, the issue of how aspect category is transferred within the
framework of tense category in Russian and Turkish will be examined comparatively.

Workforce Agility and Perceptions of Reward Management
Serol Karalar, Canan Cetin
Department of Business Administration, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey
Day by day, five star hotels face more competitors and problems because of dynamical structure of
tourism sector in which they operate. Hotel managers, who can provide competitive capacity to hotel
enterprises, are required in the hotel sector that is becoming more international. The notion of
organizational identification which means middle and top level managers’ feeling themselves one with
their organizations and the notion of workforce agility that provides hotels speed, proactivity,
adaptability and flexibility, and reward management practices that help to increase managers’
performance and work satisfaction level, appear at this point. There are various factors that affect
above-cited notions. It can be mentioned that managers’ socio-demographic characteristics have
effects on the said variables. On the other hand, those notions can affect each other mutually.
Accordingly; the purpose of this study has been determined as revealing the relationship between
managers’ characteristics of organizational identification, workforce agility and perceptions of reward
management and the effects of their socio-demographic characteristics on those variables. In the
context of research purpose, a survey has been conducted on 308 middle and top level managers who
work in five star hotels in Istanbul. Correlation analysis, Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests
have been implemented on the obtained data. In conclusion; it has been confirmed that there are
statistically significant differences on sub-dimensions of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards, organizational
identification and adaptability in terms of gender, age, education level, full-time work experience and
tenure. In addition to that, it has been revealed that there is a positive and medium level relationship
between intrinsic rewards & organizational identification and intrinsic rewards & proactivity.

The aim of this thesis is to reveal that as one of the most effective communication tool, theatre has an
interaction with the society by taking social responsibility on solving the social problems. This study
aims to reveal the relationship between the theatre of Brecht and the concept of social responsibility
via the Play ‘Kitchen of the Rich’ of Vasıf Öngören. In order to continue their functions, theatres need
to sell the tickets. This situation leads to theatre management. This study adapts the concept of social
responsibility, which is generally used by business management, to theatre. As the one of the most
important theatre theorists, Brecht focuses on social problems in his theatre plays. In the light of the
data we have, the most satisfactory information about questioning the theory of theatre was born in
Ancient Greece. From Ancient Greece to Brecht, the most important aims of theatre had been
entertainment and education. Brecht, who thinks that life is changeable, by bringing to his idea to the
stage, aims to change the spectators to active subjects who can produce solutions to their problems.
Vasıf Öngören is one of the most important representatives of theatre of Brecht in Turkey. The
techniques of qualitative research are used predominantly in this study. The structures of Brecht’s
theatre and Vasıf Öngören’s theatre are addressed descriptively and written documents are researched
on the movement of the 15th and the 16th of June, 1970 because it is the background of the Play
‘Kitchen of the Rich’ of Vasıf Öngören. The social effect of theatre is reveled on solving social
problems by the help of the Play ‘Kitchen of the Rich’ of Vasıf Öngören.

1930’LAR TÜRKİYESİ’NDE TARIMDA ÜRETİMİ ARTIRMA ÇABALARINA BİR
ÖRNEK: PULLUK KANUNU
H. Cevahir Kayam
Assistant Professor
Atatürk İlkeleri ve İnkılap Tarihi Enstitüsü, İstanbul Üniversitesi, İstanbul, Türkiye
Osmalı İmparatorluğu’ndan geri bir tarımsal yapı devralan Cumhuriyet Türkiyesi, ekonominin
belirleyici sektörü olan tarımda üretim artışı ve verimi artırıcı çabalara, daha kuruluş aşamasında
başvurmuştur.
Bu alanda makineleşme, sulama, tohum ıslahı, destekleme alımları gibi çeşitli politikalar
uygulanmıştır. Makineleşme çabalarını sadece traktörün yaygınlaşması olarak görmemek
gerekmektedir. İnsan emeğini ikame eden ve verimi artıran her türlü araç gereç ve enerjinin
kullanılması bu çerçevede değerlendirilmelidir. Neredeyse yerleşik topluma geçişten beri Anadolu’da
ekim işlemi için kullanılan karasabanın yerine pulluğun kullanımının yaygınlaştırılması çabaları,
1930’larda Anadolu’da tarımda teknolojik dönüşüm amacıyla başvurulan hamlelerinden birini
oluşturmaktadır.
Anadolu’da tarımsal alanda ilk makine kullanımı 1885 yılında Adana bölgesinde buharlı pulluklarla
başlamıştır. Bunu 1907’de traktörün girişi izlemiş ve çeşitli sorunlar nedeniyle makine kullanımının
yaygınlaşması yavaş bir seyir izlemiştir. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti yirmili yıllarda tarımın ve ülkenin
kalkınmasının yolu olarak makineleşmeyi gördüğünden bu alanda özendirici politikalara
başvurmuştur. Özellikle traktör kullanımının yaygınlaştırılması politikaları 1929 Ekonomik Bunalımı
ile birlikte yerini, pulluk kullanımının özendirilmesine bırakmıştır. Bu politikanın temel dayanağı,
insan ve hayvan gücü ile çekilebilen pulluğun yaygınlaştırılması ile karasabanın yaygın kullanımına
son vermek ve bunun sonucunda daha az sermaye yatırımıyla daha fazla verim artışı sağlamaktır.
Traktörün teşvikinden vazgeçilerek pulluğun yaygınlaştırılması, köylünün sahip olduğu çeki gücünün
(at, öküz) kullanılmasını da teşvik edecektir. Pulluk kullanımının yaygınlaştırılmasında, ithalata olan
bağımlılığa son vermek amacıyla 1931’de Pulluk Kanunu çıkarılmış ve yerli pulluk üretiminin
desteklenmesine başlanmıştır.
1929 yılına gelindiğinde kullanılan pullukların yüzde doksanını ithal pulluklar oluşturmaktaydı. Bu
durum özendirme çabalarına karşılık, pulluk kullanımının yeterince yaygınlaşmamasına neden
olmuştur. Yasa ile birlikte yerli üretimin desteklenmesine başlanmıştır. Fakat yerli üretimin
desteklenmesi amacıyla üreticiye prim verilmesi dışında, üretim için temel girdi olan demirin gümrük
71
resmi ve muamele vergisine tabi olması, 1935 yılında bu madde üzerine istihlak resmi konması, pulluk
ithali ile ilgili herhangi bir kısıtlamaya gidilmemesi gibi nedenlerle yerli üretimin ithal pulluklarla
rekabet edememesi sonucunu vermiştir. Böylece on yıllık sürede bir milyondan fazla çiftçiyi pulluk
sahibi yapma hedefi gerçekleşmemiştir.
Çalışmamızda pulluk kullanımının dönemin tarım teknolojisi içindeki yeri ve tarımsal üretimdeki
katkısı, Pulluk Kanunu’nun kabulü ve uygulandığı yıllarda tarımsal üretimi artırma çabaları içindeki
yeri ile ilgili tartışmalar ele alınmaktadır. Öte yandan bu çabaların genel iktisat politikaları ile nasıl
ilişkilendirileceği üzerinde de durulmaktadır.

DETERMINANTS OF DOMESTIC SAVINGS IN EAST ASIA AND TURKEY:
PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Ipek TEKIN
PhD Student
Cukurova University Department of Economics
Private saving rates are very low particularly in developing countries for which it is essential and
crucial to analyze the determinants of saving behavior in these countries. On the other hand East Asian
countries’ success in terms of high saving rates is striking. The aim of this study is to compare
developing East Asian countries which have higher saving rates among the others and Turkey which is
behind East Asian countries. Earlier empirical studies regarding the determinants of savings are
generally based on time series or cross sectional analysis. Differently, current study aims to estimate a
private saving model by using Panel data analysis method in which co-integration and granger
causality tests were employed for a group of East Asian countries and Turkey. In accordance with this
purpose and in line with Permanent Income and Life Cycle Income Hypothesis, GDP growth rate,
GDP per capita and real interest rate are taken into consideration as the determinants of saving
behavior. Apart from these variables, inflation rate, terms of trade, bank density and inequality are also
supposed to determine savings and are included in the estimated model. According to the results to
obtain which are associated with theoretical literature and traditional explanations income, real interest
rate and inflation are expected to have a positive impact on private savings. On the other hand real
wealth, public savings, bank density and deterioration in the terms of trade are expected to affect
savings negatively.

A Comparison between Heidegger's Conception of Language and Speech Act Theory of
Searle
Emrah Günok
Assistant Professor
Department of Philosophy, Yüzüncü Yıl University, Van, Turkey
Today, the destiny of philosophy is strongly bound up with the seemingly unbridgeable chasm
between the Anglo-American analytic philosophy and the more traditional paradigm presented by the
Continent. The relations between the philosophy of mind and the Husserlian phenomenological
thinking as one of the most important movements of the twentieth century, can be thought of as an
obtruding instance of the tension originating from the aforementioned gap. The so called tension
increases especially when the founder’s transcendental phenomenology begins to change into a kind of
phenomenological analysis whose existential and ontological overtones override in the hands of
Martin Heidegger.
In this paper, Heideggerian philosophy of language—if there is any—together with his
phenomenological account of Dasein and reality will be tackled vis-a-vis the Austinian/Searlian
conception of speech acts. If it can plausibly be argued that language is the entity by means of which
we primarily do things and only secondarily report the state of affairs around us as Searle maintains,
then Heidegger’s anti-instrumentalist conception of language can be handled in congruence with it in
that, both tenets emphasize the non-representative facet of language as the very essence of it.
Searle’s conception of the “phenomenological illusion” will be the focus of interest throughout the
above mentioned comparison. According to him, the thinkers of the phenomenological tradition are to
be blamed with idealism or perspectivism because of their refusal of the in-itself reality as the most
basic presupposition of any reasonable philosophy. At the concluding section of the present paper, it
will be stated that, as long as the non-representationalism shared by the linguistic account of
Heidegger and the speech act theory of Searle/Austin is accounted for, this accusation of Searle can be
shown to be incoherent.

The concept of role in family has value according to their position based on individuals and
interpersonal. Role merges within the social interaction process and varies according to the
relationship of the persons. Family members who may fulfill their own roles, have to learn and do the
behaviors that are required by their roles. Role-playing means either to fulfil the duties expected from
people in the family or in the group; or İt can be understood in the form of people imitating other
people’s behavior instead of them.
If wife and husband are in violation with the idea that they have the role-related behavior, their
relationships may be different. In this case, role disputes can be mentioned. In family roles, the role of
parents deemed from the family system, a logical process is underway that will continue with the
decision of children in the family. To adapt to the role of the child up to adapt to the role of the parent
arise in the learning process.
The changing roles of people, gives rise to a change of their movement and their behavior, mental
structures and in psychology. Role changes, both cause and result of the open behaviors between
family members

The Semiotic Study of The Translation of Advertisements Into Turkish
Sueda Özbent
Associate Professor
Department of Translation, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey
As companies today need advertising campaigns that appeal to large groups of people to better sell
their products on a worldwide scale, they are mostly required to think globally but act locally. In this
respect, advertising translation which is gradually becoming a professional translation practice is
already substantial in amount and keeps increasing. In dealing with texts regarding advertising,
translators, besides having sufficient knowledge about advertising, also need to have a prior
knowledge of translation methods and techniques and enhance their linguistic and translation
competence. To craft a successful marketing strategy, an accurate communication, branding and an
innovative perspective seem inevitable. Advertising texts having extra linguistic features, it is
necessary that they be treated differently in their translation. Auditory and visual features accompany
the oral component of the advertisements broadcast on the radio or in tv. When all these elements
come to interact with one another, they inspire ordinary people to purchase the product. As hybrid
texts, advertisements that reflect cultural values should be examined comprehensively. Trade marks
create certain symbols and colors for global use. What is not spoken orally is revealed through visual
images in advertising to sustain a long term memory; and therefore, its translation requires that a
semiotic approach be adopted. Advertisements are intended to transmit subliminal non-verbal
messages to fascinate the consumers. This study admits that advertising texts are part of a strategic
action to sell more products. The study seeks to highlight how significant it is to semiotically analyze
these texts with visual figures. To this end, Barthes’ concept of myth and the actantial model
developed by Greimas have been used.

Kurdish question has been one of the most contradictory phenomena for decades not only in Turkey
but in several countries in the Middle East. This paper attempts to examine the factors behind the
Kurdish question and ethnic conflict thereupon in Turkey by conducting individual-level analysis.
Previous research has been divided concerning relative importance of greed theory and of grievance
theory. This study focuses on the relationship between Kurdish question and socio-economic
characteristics of individuals, and grievances such as political discrimination, cultural discrimination,
and economic backwardness. We find that these grievances influence Kurdish question. We also find
that the Kurdish people that are directly affected by the ethnic conflict, that have favorable thoughts on
Kurdish ethnic-oriented parties, and that think that their ethnic identity is very important to them have
favorable attitudes toward grievance factors.

Fashion and Identity: the concealment or disclosure process?
Giulia Rossi
PhD Student
Department of Social Sciences, University La Sapienza, via Salaria 113, Rome, Italy
In the current fashion we are seeing a gradual encroachment of menswear in the feminine and vice
versa. The gender boundaries fade, tracing new shades identity possible, identified and captured by the
fashion system from a body increasingly at the service of fashion, which lends itself to be shaped and
defined to please the trend of the moment. While these encroachments could mark a loss, but on the
other hand they are presented as evidence of a positive process, in which the encroachment is an
enrichment, removal of barriers, greater ability to compete for both sexes with their feminine and
masculine. Fashion allows the explicit of these encroachments and their implementation indicates the
evolution of the identity dynamics. Fashion, according to the theoretical perspective of Fashion
Theory, is considered a system of meaning within which produce cultural meanings, aesthetic and
identity of the coated body. The dress so it must be analyzed as a cultural and social model together,
image immediately transmissible, communicable, of its identity. In relations in public, as well as
defines Goffman (1982) the dress is revealed bearer of signs that conceal a useful meaning to
encourage interaction or, conversely, to radicalize the insulation. The dress is never insignificant, even
in the face of nudity, which can in this reading - in fashion as a social construction - to be understood
as the absence of clothes.

Drive 48824 East Lansing/MI
Every energy generation and transmission method affects the environment and ecosystem. In recent
years, growing imbalance trends in global oil markets and ecological concerns over climate change
have become major challenges all over the world. In this regard, renewable energy has been utilized
by the world energy industry as a key actor or player. Renewable energy is also considered to be an
important component for creating a sustainable future and ensuring sustainable socio-economic
development due to ecological concerns on fossil fuels. Parallel with the developments in the world,
Turkey’s energy policy has been changing based on the goal of increasing the use of renewable energy
sources and EU energy policy over the last 10 years.
The primary aim of this paper is to discuss the new face of energy policy of Turkey in terms of
ecological perspective, using historical and descriptive methods in its analyses of the issues involved
in establishing this new perspective. The conclusions are based on an evaluation of data obtained from
field research on renewable energy cooperatives. Thus, this study presents an eco-political analysis of
energy policy issues using the case of renewable energy cooperatives. The three central questions are:
(1) how have new renewable energy sources, led by wind power, developed and expanded in recent
decades? (2) how can we apply, and also we can modify renewable energy cooperatives in terms of
ecological transformation? (3) How has the ‘identity’ of renewable energy cooperative (RES Co-ops)
been constructed in the USA? The ultimate purpose of this study is to provide a general model for
implementing sustainable energy development for Turkey based on the renewable energy cooperatives
practices in the USA.

Department of Social Work, Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey
Sexual abuse of children is as old as human history, but being regarded as a health issue and a social
problem corresponds to the 20th century. Sexual exploitation and abuse against children harms the
healthy physical, mental, emotional and social development of children, making a lasting and
irrecoverable impact on their lives, in Turkey, as well as all over the world. Child sexual abuse is use
of children under the age of 18 in sexual activities by an adult in order to achieve sexual satisfaction or
its toleration. It is estimated that the number of sexual abuse against children cannot be exactly
determined; only 15% can be detected and the incidence of sexual abuse in childhood in Turkey is
around 35%.
The aim of this study is to seek answer to the question of the society emerged upon increase of child
sexual abuse cases recently in Turkish visual and printed media: “Was sexual abuse against children in
previous years as much as today? Or did it increase recently?” and to determine the current status with
updated data.

The Law No 6306 on Transformation of the Areas under Disaster Risk was adopted for the purpose of
preventing the losses of life occurring due to natural disasters in our country and came in to force on
May 31, 2012. However said Law anticipates many interventions to property right. Property right is a
constitutional right and confers the person the right of use, benefit and consume. This right is a right
which is not only protected by national legislation but also protected by international agreements.
Consequently what kinds of interventions are brought to property right in terms of said law constitutes
the subject of this study.

DISABILITY IN CONTEMPORARY CHRISTIAN THEOLOGY
Suleyman Turan
Assistant Professor
Department of History of Religions, Recep Tayyip Erdogan University, 53100, Merkez, Rize
The persistent thread within the Christian tradition has been that person with disabilities is either
divinely blessed or damned. Since the late 1960s, a new theology emerged to challenge such
understandings. “Disability Theology” is broad, ecumenical, and interdisciplinary area. This theology
has emerged as people with and without disabilities have begun to highlight the importance of the
human experience of disability for theological reflection and practice. Disability theologians in
different ways have taken the principles of the Disability Studies model and applied a similar analysis
to the church in its theology and practice. Through a process of critical theological reflection on
ecclesial practices disability theologians seek to initiate a process wherein people with disabilities can
be empowered to find meaningful inclusion within religious communities. In this study, we will try to
examine the contemporary theologies like “Theology of Disabled God”, “Theology of Access”, and
“Theology of Interdependence”.

Benefits of Alternative Dispute Resolution
Ozgur Oguz
Dr.
anadolu uni.faculty of law, eskisehir, turkey
Parties can appeal alternative dispute resolution (ADR) only on private law relations which they can
dispose on freely. So, they cannot appeal ADR on divorcement, judicial separation, validity of
marriage, custody, tutelage, personality, rejection of acknowledgement of child, rejection of adoption,
determination of martial situation, maintenance, ex parte proceeding and bankrupt because they are
about public order. That kind of disputes which are about public order, can be solved only on courts.
Parties can apply alternative dispute relations instead of civil procedure on private law relations which
are not related with public order. So, why parties should choose the ADR instead of procedure? The
answers of that question which are related to each other, will be given below by titles.

A Study on the Perception of ELT Departments by the Academics of Other Disciplines
Hakan Dilman, A.Nejat TÖNGÜR
Assistant Professor
Maltepe University, Faculty of Education, ELT Department, Maltepe, İstanbul, Turkey
In Turkey, the English Language Teaching (ELT) had been considered a domain of Language and
Literature Departments from which most foreign language teachers were recruited until the 1980s
when Faculties of Education were formed with the centralization of higher education under the
umbrella of the Council of Higher Education. Although a remarkable percentage of teachers of English
is still graduates of English Language and Literature (ELL) and American Culture and Literature
(ACL) Departments, the majority of the teachers employed in state and private schools and foundation
universities are graduates of 60 English Language Teaching Programs in Turkish universities. The aim
of this study is to display the perceptions of ELT departments by the academics of other disciplines
with 11 open-ended questions. 50 academics working in colleges/faculties/post secondary vocational
schools without ELT, ELL or ACL background in 5 state and foundation universities in İstanbul,
Ankara and İzmir agreed to answer the questions. The responses show that most participants know that
the English Language Teaching Programs are in the Faculties of Education despite a few “School of
Foreign Languages” and “No Idea” answers. Although the academics unanimously believe in the
necessity of ELT departments for the time being and in the future, they state that other language
teaching departments must coexist with the ELT departments. The respondents do not quite agree on
the aim and function of the ELT departments and most academics do not know much about the
courses given in the ELT departments; however, they state that the main criterion for admission into
these departments must be having very good/excellent language skills. Besides, on the qualifications
and careers of the staff of the ELT departments, the participants prioritize excellent language skills and
foreign country experience. Almost all respondents agree on the employment opportunities of ELT
graduates in schools but many evidently believe that ELT graduates are also employable in imports,
exports, commerce, tourism, finance, banking and industries with their language skills.

The Death of a Poet on Media: Sylvia Plath will be Dying Forever
Bahar Ayaz, Himmet Hülür
Department of Journalism, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey
In this study, Sylvia Plath and her death on media will be examined. Plath, an American poet,
committed suicide on 1963 when she was 30. Her death was portrayed too many times by media.
There are books, videos, blogs and stories about her death. She placed her head in the oven while the
gas was turned on. Maybe this was an extraordinary story for media and thats why they emphasized it
too much. Afterwards, a Hollywood movie called ‘Sylvia’ abouth the relationship between Ted
Hughes and Sylvia Plath was released on 2003. Plath’s daughter Frieda Hughes words; “Watching
someone on TV means all they have to do is press ‘pause’ if they want to boil a kettle, while my
mother holds her breath on screen, to finish dying after tea.” reveals how she felt about this movie.
Media is exterminating the feelings, but besides that media is also replicating things too much and
therefore we are loosing the reality. Actually Plath is dying again in every single moment when
somebody watches the movie. Ironically, a Woody Allen movie cue expressed that Plath’s death is;
misinterpreted as romantic by the college girl mentality. So, media is not only replicating, it is also
creating a new reality. The media portrayal of Sylvia Plath and her death, supports Jean Buadrillard’s
claims that reality is killed by virtualization. This study examines Sylvia Plath and her death on media
within this context.

Internet has been taken place in education and social life rapidly and efficiently and provides large
range of knowledge, game, entertainment and communication opportunity. Internet addiction is a
health issue affecting people in the throughout world (Wang, Luo, Bai, Luo, Gao and Sun, 2013). Kim
and Davis (2006) define internet addiction as uncontrollable use of internet that cause psychological,
social and/or work problems in one’s life. Problematic internet use is studied with many variables such
as depression, well-being, and loneliness. In the present study, Problematic Internet Use and Hope
among University Students was studied.
The participants of the study were selected from Bartın University, Sakarya University and Nevşehir
University students in 2014-2015 academic years. Participants were consisted of 246 women and 127
men. In order to data collection, Problematic Internet Use Scale and Dispositional Hope Scale were
used. Data were analyzed using SPSS program. The effect of gender on excessive use and social
benefit/social comfort subscales of Problematic Internet Use Scale was not significant. On the other
hand, negative consequences of the internet subscale differed according to gender and it is found that
women’s negative consequences of the internet scores are low than men. Dispositional hope scores of
students also did not differ according to gender.
Considering the results of the study, activities to increase hope level to prevent problematic internet
usage is suggested in regard to guidance studies context. Furthermore, it is recommended to
investigate problematic internet use in different age groups and evaluate it from developmental
perspective.

From Shadow to Watercolor: Karagöz Characters in Güzin Duran’s Paintings
Ilkay Canan Okkalı
Dr.
Faculty of fine arts department of painting
Being a painter and calligrapher Güzin Duran (1898-1981) was also interested in collecting the
characters of the traditional Turkish shadow play Karagöz. She collected, in particular, the works of
the renowned 18th and 19th century masters Nazif Bey, Hayali Memduh and Kâtip Salih. The shadow
play, in which the figures are animated by an artist with the help of some other people, is a significant
cultural heritage which has been performed in the Ottoman palace, the month of Ramadan, during
circumcision feasts and religious festivals, and which is (still) enjoyed by people of all ages since the
16th century. This aspect of the play and the characters had attracted Duran’s interest. She exhibited
two hundred and eighty one watercolor paintings that she made of her collection at the Topkapı Palace
Museum in 1979. After this exhibition Güzin Duran donated her exhibited works of art to the museum.
This study aims to inform on the traditional shadow play called Karagöz while the depiction of the
Karagöz chararacters in the paintings of Güzin Duran are examined.

Return from Liquidation (Revival) in Corporations
Diğdem Göç Gürbüz
Associate Professor
Commercial Law, Marmara University Faculty of Business Administration, Istanbul, Turkey
With the amendments brought by Turkish Commercial Code, important innovations were introduced
in many aspects of commercial law. One of these innovations is corporations’ return from liquidation.
Return from liquidation (revival) is the legal notion which is possible during liquidation if certain
dissolution reasons are present and it gives to corporation the capacity to conduct commercial
activities stated in articles of association again by removing the purpose of liquidation. The purpose of
this enactment in the article 548 of Turkish Commercial Code numbered 6102 which was embraced
and applied through scholars and court rulings in the term of abrogated Code numbered 6762, is the
protection of the legal entities of corporations and continuation of their commercial activities.
Liquidation is entered into by expiration of a corporation’s duration, decision for termination and
adjudication of bankruptcy; return from liquidation is realized by General Assembly’s retrieval of
decision for termination, removal of bankruptcy or finishing bankruptcy through arrangement of
bankruptcy. In other causes of dissolution, return form liquidation is not possible. To be able to return
from liquidation, distribution of corporation’s assets among shareholders shouldn’t start. Otherwise a
decision for return from liquidation would be null. Resolution for return from liquidation can be
adapted in ordinary general assembly or extraordinary general assembly convening for the return from
liquidation with %60 affirmative votes of shareholders. This ratio can be aggravated with articles of
association and other measures could be foreseen for this purpose. Registration and announcement of
return from liquidation resolution is foundational.
Another innovation brought by Turkish Commercial is supplementary liquidation. If it’s understood
that it is mandatory for a corporation deleted from registry to follow supplementary liquidation
procedures with certain reasons, until these supplementary procedures are completed, reregistration of
corporation can be requested. When supplementary liquidation is over, legal personality of corporation
finishes as it is deleted from registry. However in return from liquidation, legal personality of
corporation continues.
Before Commercial Code, there was a similar enactment in Cooperatives Law. Residential Building
Cooperatives are deemed to fulfill their purpose and dissolve when jobs stated in articles of
association are completed and individual ownership is achieved as residents are registered in the name
89
of shareholders. However, in 6 months from the registration date, if articles of association is duly
amended and cooperative’s purpose is changed, provision regarding dissolution is not applied. (art. 81
amendment dated (3/6/2010).

Asymmetric Effect of Inflation on the Relative Price Variability in Turkey
Fatma Kolcu, Nebiye Yamak
Karadeniz Technical University, Beşikdüzü Vocational Junior College, Department of Management
and Organization, Beşikdüzü/Trabzon, Turkey
In free market economies, the price mechanism plays an important role in the conduct of economic
activities. In these economies, market prices are the main indicators which guide the allocation of the
resources. As predicted by economic theory, disruptions in the function of the price mechanism
prevent the efficient allocation of the resources. In periods of high inflation or deflation, the
effectiveness of the price mechanism is further reduced and the structure of relative prices in the
economy deteriorates. The empirical studies testing the relationship between inflation and relative
price variability have shown that there is mostly a positive relation between the two variables.
Empirical results implying the existence of the relationship between two variables have also come up
the question of whether the effect of inflation on relative price variability is asymmetric. Knowing of
the existence of asymmetric effect will be important for implementing economic policies. The purpose
of this study is to determine whether the effect of inflation on relative price variability is symmetric or
asymmetric in Turkey for the period of 2005:01-2016:04. For this purpose, first, relative price
variability was calculated by using monthly consumer price index of 12 expenditure groups. Later,
with the aid of relative price variability equation that contains both price increases and decreases as
separate explanatory variables, whether inflation has an asymmetrical effect on the relative price
variability has been tested within the framework of four different hypotheses. Empirical results
indicate that the effect of inflation on relative price variability is not symmetric.

Faculty of Architecture, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Karadeniz Technical
University, Trabzon, Turkey
Negative effects of rapidly growing cities on urban environment and human health have been
criticised recently. Sustainable urban planning approaches, which were developed to eliminate
negative effects, emphasise the importance of the concept Walkability. When the walking is preferred
to instead of car use, the damages of car use on urban environment eliminate, furthermore individual
who choose walking has become healthier in terms of both physical and mental. In this context, to
ensure walkability in the city centers have become more important, especially between open public
spaces which having intensive human use such as parks and squares. The necessity of walkability is to
being preferable which means humans choose to be pedestrian instead of to be driver. To achieve this
necessity, streetscape should create interesting experience, which means ‘Interesting Walk’, during
walking for pedestrian. Otherwise humans choose to drive instead of walking. In this scope, this study
has two main aims. First, explain definition of ‘Interesting Walk’ approach and then identify its
principles. Second, to offer streetscape design tips for interesting walk by analysing these principles
over the study area.
According to literature results of the study, streetscape elements should have got eight qualities
(diversity, porosity, depth, vertical orientation, human scale, easy access, good edge effect,
functionality) for create interesting walk experience. Survey to experts (urban planners and landscape
architects) is used as method for analyses interesting walk principles over the study area. Finally,
streetscape design tips are developed for interesting walk by using results of surveys and literature
study.

Trademark ownership in global world system, where commercial borders disappear day by day and
technology progresses with incredible speed, is important means in determining competitive power.
Trademarks which are diversified in buyers’ minds through intense advertisement and marketing
activities, became one of the most valuable assets of firms. Equal and effective protection of trademark
rights, which are crucial for both national and international commercial competition, in all world is
essential. In case of breach of trademark right use of litigation, which is viewed as the principal and
preferred resolution method, may cause delay in trials due to reasons like workload. However what is
desired is the quick resolution of disputes to arise due to rapid growth of trademark market, easiness of
imitation and the fact that it can be subject to unfair gain easily. In this study, arrangements of
mediation, which is alternative dispute resolution outside of litigation in disputes arising from
trademark law in Turkish law, will be included.

What Makes Philosophy Modern: A Research in Early Modern Philosophical Texts
Zeliha Burcu Acar
Assistant Professor
Department of Philosophy, University of Yüzüncü YIl, Van, Turkey
The first sign of modernity is the resignation of absolute being in philosophy. In early modern
philosophy we can detect some hints of this shift. First of all, the aim of establishing a firm ground for
the outer being apart from modern subject is given up. Secondly as we can see in the first
determination there occur a new concept as called modern subject. To found a firm basis for modern
subject and a firm basis for his/her methods of knowing become the main purpose of philosophy
together with the modern period begins. These are the main indications of modernity as it is accepted.
I think that there are two main important shifts in the background of these turning points. One of them
is concerning the concepts of intuition. To search the place of intuition in cognitive processes and in
knowing can give us important clues in terms of understanding the transition period of modernity. The
second important shift occurs in the conception of space and time. There is a period between early
modern thinking and Kant which the absolute conception of space and time is given up. After Kant
space and time become apriori intuitions of the subject. In this regard, in this presentation I will try to
question the conception of intuition and space and time in terms of the transition to modern
philosophy. I think that the search for these conceptions can help us to understand modern thinking so
I will try to explain them through reading of some early modern texts.

Health, being directly related to all segments of society, has always been on the agenda. The changes
and developments experienced in healthcare are quite important for the society. Discussions about the
violence in the health sector constitute an important part of health news. Defensive communication is
one of the communication issues that should not be ignored. Defensive approach poses significant
obstacles for the communication between health care professionals and patients, which can only be
established in desired levels when it is based on mutual trust. Defensive communication, when
performed by the healthcare professionals, raises unrecoverable communication problems. The main
purpose of this study is to make discourse analysis for the defensive behaviours of healthcare
professionals in communication, based on reflections in the press.
An expression made by Dr. Mehmet Müezzinoğlu, Health Minister of Republic of Turkey, in his
speech in ""Physician of the Year and the Successful Physician of the Year Award Ceremony"" held in
Bursa on 19 March 2016, had a big influence in the press. The expression of “We are dealing with an
ignorants army which is coming to a physician with only 3-minute knowledge” he made about the
patient relatives, took place in the headlines of press news. This sentence reflecting the defensive
communication is important in terms of being used by a high-level manager in healthcare sector. This
news, had also found its place in ""medimagazin” website which is one of the best-known among
websites making health news. The news and the related comments made in this website have been
subjected to discourse analysis. A total of 28 different commentators made 38 comments on the news.
Although five different occupational groups commented, 30 of the comments were made by 24
physicians.

Does Islamic Banking Have a Future in Germany?
Ciydem Catak
PhD Student
Department of Business Administration, Turkish-German University, Istanbul,Turkey
A new version of banking, called Islamic banking, has emerged over the last three decades and has
begun to rapidly spread worldwide. Islamic banking is in accordance with the laws of Sharia, and it is
based on the concept of profit-loss sharing instead of charging interest on loans. In addition, many
argue that Islamic banks are safer than conventional banks. These banks have started to offer attractive
products and necessary services as an alternative to conventional banking for both Muslims and nonMuslims alike. Over the last years, most Islamic banks have declared an increase in deposits by nonMuslims. Now, Islamic banking is the fastest-developing part of the global banking industry and has
already attracted significant attention.
With a Muslim population of nearly 6 million, in 2015 Germany opened its first Islamic bank, a
subsidiary of the biggest Islamic bank in Turkey. This bank targets all people living in Germany, nonMuslims as well as Muslims, and aspires to be a hub for Islamic finance in Europe. The main aim of
this study is to analyse the Islamic financial and banking market in Germany, specifically its
development, evolution and future prospects. We conducted a survey with specific questions
lamic
banking and its products.

The German Prince and the Romanian Political Elite: Crossing Important Political and
Cultural Borders at the Beginning of Charles I’s Reign (1866-1871)
Cosmin-Stefan Dogaru
Assistant Professor
Faculty of Political Science, University of Bucharest, Romania
Inviting Charles of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, a foreign prince, to accede to the throne of Romania in
1866 was a significant move in the Romanian 19th-century politics – it mainly favored the
modernisation process of the Romanian state that had been started and reinforced by the Romanian
political elite already for some time. At first, for Charles I, Romania represented a challenge, but it
progressively turn out to be a mission. On the one hand, the political elite reached a compromise by
electing a foreign prince and deciding that the local prince was an already outdated choice. On the
other hand, the foreign prince left his country and the environment in which he grew up (from a social,
political, cultural point of view etc.) and chose to become the prince of an unknown country. Thus,
both Charles and the Romanian political elite managed to cross-important political and cultural
borders.
My research belongs to the field of political history and, consequently I will particularly focus on the
part played by Charles I and the Romanian political elite
in crossing important political and cultural borders in the years 1866-1871, signifying an essential
stage relating to the construction process of the Romanian state. My methodological attempt, which is
still state-of-the-art for the contemporary research, is also an attempt to analyse historical facts and
data from the point of view of political science. I intend to use specialised historical and political
literature while analysing several specific sources of the age: memories, speeches, discourses etc.

Gazi University, Communication Faculty, Journalism Department, Çankaya, Ankara
In social places toilets provide us an independent area. This independent area can be used for another
activities behind resolving essential needs. One of these activities is writing the toilet door. Writing the
toilet door can be thought equivalent with street writing-graffitis. Street writing is defined as
vandalism, art or independent area by some persons. But street writing does not promise too much
independency enough, because that it is an area that other people can see the person who make some
graffitis on the wall. The difference between the writing the toilet door and street writing is due that.
Writing the toilet door gets out of the surveillence which public sphere brought and provides freedom
to individuals. With this writing, toilet, which is included in public sphere, becomes a field of
individual discourses.
In this study, the toilet door writings which appears on cafes’, bars’, schools’ and other public spheres’
in Ankara will be researched and the writings’ differences will be analyzed by gender. It is thought
that, on women’s toilet door writings political writings, on men’s toilet door writings sexually explicit,
homophobic writings are more common. Cognitively, it will be benefitted from the difference between
public sphere and private sphere, radical- feminst theory, psychoanalysis and some other poststructural theories and discourse analyse will be used as a method.

The Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) and the environment
Isabela Battistello Espíndola
Master Student
Department of Environmental Sciencies, Federal University pf São Carlos, São Carlos, São Paulo,
Brazil
In the last decades the impacts of humankind in the environment have been increasingly significant,
transcending borders and reaching several populations, which contributed to its recognition as a
fundamental human right by the United Nations, arguing that the preservation and conservation of this
environment is intrinsic for the very safety of mankind and other species. Since then the States and
other international actors have been pressured to adopt measures to include environmental issues in
their agendas and discussions. It is important to note that this growing concern for the environment is
recent and many of the first international agreements did not have this environmental variable. This is
also applied for the first regional integration processes, which often gave greater weight to economic
issues. It is worth noting that the recent intensification of regional integration processes has triggered
movements of political and strategic nature of various orders and directions, and among it is included
the environmental issues. Within this context, this article aims to analyze how the environment is
treated in UNASUR, one of the latest regional integration projects in South America, which currently
presents itself as an important space for the resolution of regional conflicts and establishment as a
supranational institution to integrate the countries of the region. In this sense, the analysis begins with
the UNASURs Constitutive Treaty, the principal legal system within the Union, to see how the
environment is considered in this regional integration process.

Dr.
Department of International Relations, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey
Internal Armed Conflicts, or in other words ""Armed Conflicts not of an International Character"" are
not always easy to identify neither according to International Law in general, nor according to
International Humanitarian Law, one of which the field application is internal armed conflicts.
On the other hand, as a close discipline to International Humanitarian Law (The Law of War) and a
separate field of International Law, International Criminal Law has made significant contribution to
this issue both by -but not limited to- criminal courts' statutes and by the decisions of these courts.
In this article, the above-mentioned contribution of International Criminal Law on the identification of
internal armed conflicts will be analysed by the evaluation of various decisions of international
criminal courts from ad hoc criminal courts to the permanent; the International Criminal Court (ICC).
As a conclusion, an identification of “non-international armed conflict” will be tried to be made from
the perspective of international criminal courts.

The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of organizational justice perceptions on employee
silence. According to Pinder and Harlos (2001), one of the most important determinants of employee
silence is organizational justice perceptions of workers. Social Exchange Theory (Blau, 1964)
provides a theoretical framework for understanding this relationship. Blau (1964) proposed that there
are two exchange relationships between employee and his/her employer (or supervisor). One of them
is economical exchange and the other one is social. In a social exchange relationship, one party
voluntarily provides a benefit to another and this makes an obligation of the other party to reciprocate
in return. Organizational justice is a valuable resource in a social exchange relationship that an
employee tends to reciprocate in positive way. Therefore we assume that high level of organizational
justice leads to low level of silence in an organization. For answering this question, we conducted an
empirical research in Ankara/Turkey. Total of 471 employees participated to our research. We found
that procedural justice effects employee silence negatively. The distributive justice’ effect on prosocial silence is positive. The other results will be discussed at the conference.

Investigating the predictive role of perceived organizational support on psychological
capital among high school teachers
Hilal Buyukgoze, Yüksel Kavak
Department of Educational Sciences, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey
In the current study, the relationship of public high school teachers’ perceived organizational support
and psychological capital levels was investigated in relation to their gender, education, type of high
school, tenure, marital status and membership to an educational union. The study group of the study
consists of 337 (182 female and 155 male) high school teachers from eight public high schools located
in Ankara- Altındağ. The data collection tools were “Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PsyCap)”
developed by Luthans, Avolio, Avey, and Norman (2007), and “Survey of Perceived Organizational
Support- Short Form (SPOS)” developed by Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison, and Sowa (1986).
The data were analyzed by utilizing t test, ANOVA, LSD test of post hoc tests, Pearson correlation,
and multiple linear regression. The construct validity of the scales were tested by confirmatory factor
analysis (CFA). The goodness of fit indices generated by CFA verified the factors of the scales. The
Cronbach alpha value of the SPOS was calculated to be .91, and .95 for the PsyCap. The main findings
are as follows; teachers perceive moderate levels of organizational support; the overall psychological
capital level of teachers is relatively high; married teachers have higher levels of hope than single
teachers; members of education unions have higher levels of hope than non-member teachers; teachers
working in vocational high schools have higher levels of resilience than teachers working in Anatolian
high schools; and, teachers with bachelor’s degree have higher levels of optimism than teachers with
graduate education degree. In addition, there is a moderate, positive and statistically significant
relationship between teachers’ perceived organizational support level and overall psychological capital
level (r = .44). Furthermore, it was found that the independent variables together predict 8 % of the
total variance in overall psychological capital level of teachers, and perceived organizational support is
a statistically significant predictor of psychological capital. Future implications and recommendations
for research and practice are discussed based on the findings of the study.

One of the most striking characteristics of global indigenous media productions is the self-awareness
of many indigenous media practitioners. This is particularly noticeable in their understanding of how
media can be used to re-examine and revitalize ancestral values, cultural identities and traditional
practice. Different researchers have recorded how indigenous film- and video-makers in Northern
Canada, the central Amazon and northern Australia, for instance, have been concerned about the
importance of giving the younger generations hope and cultural pride through a stronger connection
with their community, ancestry and heritage. But indigenous media are also inevitably produced and
consumed within a broader context of globalisation dominated by market-driven developments in
technology, world-wide processes of deregulation in broadcasting, and the growth of massive multinational media conglomerates which command interests that operate across the major world markets.
Indigenous media productions are in this sense part of a larger global process in which local cultures
and ancestral values are not so much being replaced by global media culture as getting inflected by
being made to co-exist with it. The local and the global have become deeply intertwined, paradoxically
reinforcing as they symbiotically transform each other.
Drawing on fieldwork into how young people in Malta perceive their country’s indigenous media in
an increasingly globalized media landscape, the paper explores some of the ways in which attempts to
preserve and revitalise ancestral values and local identities through the media are influenced by the
values and disjunctive flows of globalisation.

Murat Berberoglu, Ugur Uzun
Department of Business and Administration, Artvin Coruh University, Artvin, Turkey
Increased commercial use of internet has led to provide services for banking sector as these new
developing technologies have brought new risks in this area. One of the most important risks in the
banking sector has been cyber-attacks. The cyber-attacks can be occurred in some areas of the sector
such as stealing information, distributed denial of service (Ddos) and so on. The cyber-attacks between
December 15-25, 2015 to Turkish banking sector have been one of the most important examples on
this topic. Referring to this information, the first aim of this study is to measure the impact of the
cyber-attacks encountered during above given dates to Turkish banking sector. The second aim is to
measure the potential impacts of successful cyber-attacks to Turkey’s financial sector in the future. A
result of the research shows that the cyber-attacks between the dates did not cause a serious damage
for the sector. But, it is calculated that if the cyber-attacks can decrease the operations of the banking
sector by 10% in the future, the possible net profit of the sector would decrease ₺2.75 Million per day.

The effects of the antecedents on export performance: A study on Turkish olive oil.
Ismail Tamer Toklu
Assistant Professor
Department of Business Administration, Artvin Coruh University, Hopa, Artvin, Turkey
Olive oil mostly produced and consumed in the Mediterranean region in the World. But olive oil
consumption is expanding in the developed countries for last decades mostly because of health
consciousness. The increase in consumption leads to invest for olive oils in the producer countries and
this triggers their exports. Turkey is among the biggest olive oil producers and exporters in the world.
But the statistics show that Turkish olive oil exports fluctuate year by year. The aim of the study is to
investigate how the antecedents such as marketing strategies, innovation, export stimulus and barriers
affect the export performance. The data of the research were collected from 40 olive oil exporters in
Turkey. The collected data were analysed by using SmartPLS structural equation modelling. A result
of the study indicates that marketing strategies, export stimulus and barriers except innovation have a
significant effect on export performance.

Enhancing Guidance Competencies of Pre-Service Preschool Teachers
Hulya Bilgin
Instructor Dr.
Department of Preschool Education, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey
Because 0-6 age group is a very important period in terms of all developmental areas of children,
teachers have major roles and tasks. Preschool teachers are being natural leaders and counselors of
their own classrooms as well as being classroom teachers.
Teachers are the ones who are face to face with students. Many activities of guidance and counseling
program cannot be executed thoroughly without the help and cooperation of teachers. Teachers are the
ones who monitor students closely and encounter problems first. Thus, teachers should be using some
counseling skills as well as having basic ideas and attitudes about guidance and counseling. They
should take protective measures to prevent emergence of problems in their classrooms and they should
also have understanding and sensitivity of discovering problems that tend to come out (Tan, 1992).
Much more students would benefit from guidance services at the school with the participation of
teachers. Therefore, teachers should actively participate in the execution of especially classroom
guidance activities (Ergin, 2010).
The numbers of guidance counselors who work in preschool education institutions are not yet at the
desired number. Until reaching up to desired number, improving guidance knowledge and skills of
preschool teachers will be an alternative solution for preschool children to benefit from guidance and
counseling services. In addition, enhancing preschool teachers’ guidance competencies will also
provide the requirements to cooperate better with school counselor if any.
Therefore, enhancing guidance knowledge and attitudes of pre-service preschool teachers during their
undergraduate education would be to the point.

Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, TURKEY
Successfully designed campuses help to balance university’s academic, research and service missions
with its educational services and raise learning performances. High level of design and planning
service has close relation with campus legibility. Kevin Lynch, one of the leading theorists, did several
research on legibility used cognitive mapping as a tool and defined five fundamental legibility
elements, has been widely used in design research.
In this study, Black Sea Technical University is selected as the research area and its legibility level has
determined. Aim of this study is to define the legibility level of the campus by students perceptions. In
this context, Lynch's five fundamental legibility elements directed students to generate cognitive maps
of the campus, and each student's perception level on campus area is determined. Additionally,
integration levels of the areas in the campus will be generated in Space Syntax tools and the results of
each analysis will be compared.
Respondent group include students from Architecture, and Urban and Regional Planning departments.
End product is the analysis of the cognitive maps, produced by each student, based on legibility
elements. Legibility map of the campus has created, and the legibility level of the campus is
determined. Following, the results are classified as the areas with high, medium and low cognition.
Furthermore, depth maps and integration levels of the Campus will be analysed in depthmapX
application to compare the results with the cognitive maps. Finally, possibility of raising university’s
educational and research activities through design are discussed.

Critique of the “societas academica”. Knowledge and communication between Vico e
Habermas
Andrea Lombardinilo
Assistant Professor
Department of philosophical and educational sciences, economics and statistics, "Gabriele
d'Annunzio" University of Chieti-Pescara, Italy
This proposal focuses on the university reformism debate according to the antiphrastic dialectics
(peculiar of our modernity) between university and anti-university, in order to deepen the heuristic as
well as different and convergent approach fostered by Vico and Habermas.
In the foreground there is the development of the reflection on the “commoda” and “incommoda”
(advantages and disadvantages) of university. Both Vico and Habermas propose distant but synergic
interpretations in the light of different social and cognitive patterns as well as the consideration of the
attention paid by Habermas to Vico’s thought.
As a matter of fact, some of the matters pointed out by Vico in the inaugural speech On the study
method of our times given in Naples in 1708 (the didactic fragmentation, the excess of self-reference,
the separation between humanism and scientism, the limits of the freedom of research, to name a few)
characterize the social reflection about university. This happens in the hard years of the student protest
(University in the democracy, 1967).
Furthermore, it is worth noticing that the reflection on the destiny of universities is entrusted to the
form of the oral speech as Vico and Habermas and other important thinkers (Derrida, Morin,
McLuhan, Bourdieu) have done before. These are the ones who have dedicated some significant
programmatic reflections to the university reformism, therefore, the critic discourse on university and
the public analysis on the communicative act can be joined together, far beyond the self-reference
limits of our universities.

Instructor
School of Foreign Languages, Kafkas University, Kars,Turkey
This study attempts to explore the theoretical notion of ‘unhomely’ as an uncanny concept, employed
by Homi Bhabha through V.S.Naipaul’s ‘The Enigma of Arrival’. Widely used in the discussions of
migration and crossing borders, the postcolonial sense; unhomely focuses on discourses that draw
spaces in which one can see what is familiar and what is unfamiliar. In order to unravel the ambiguity
in spaces evokes the uncanny essences of unhomely experiences; the notion of unhomely creeps and
moves into uncanny by seizing the sense of identity as a never complete being. In Naipaul’s work, the
sense of identity, being mixed with the dislocation and ambivalence nature of unhomeliness circles
around the story told by the narrator, travelling from Trinidad to England. The external is side by side
with the internal. The locations are the ambushes for the inner selves by composing the ambivalence
ending of the displacement as unhomely, too. Within the light of all this information, this paper will
put an emphasis upon the notion of ‘unhomely’ negotiating the fact that it is either an advantage or a
disadvantage through transformational experiences related to the sense of identity in The Enigma of
Arrival.

Pinar Bagceli Kahraman
Assistant Professor
Uludag University Education Faculty Preschool Education Program, Bursa, Turkey
Preschool years between 0-6 ages are very important in developing children’s personalities, skills and
habits and shaping their attitudes. Preschool education is an educational process that provides children
environmental opportunities in accordance with their individual characteristics and developmental
levels and supports their developments. One of the aims of preschool education is to prepare children
for elementary education. With current education system that changed in 2012, children between 60
and 69 months can start school with permissions from their parents. Under these circumstances,
classroom teachers need to have adequate information about children in this age range. It is thought
that hearing the opinions of teacher candidates and supporting them affect their knowledge, skills and
attitudes after they start teaching. Based on this importance, this study aims to present the attitudes and
opinions of classroom teacher candidates on preschool education.
It is a general screening model study. Sample of the study is formed of 110 teacher candidates fro
Uludag University, Faculty of Education, Department of Elementary School Teaching. Three different
closed ended questions aimed at teacher candidates’ personal knowledge and four open-ended
questions aimed at their opinions about preschool education were used in the study. “Preschool
Perception Scale” that was developed by Kesicioglu (2013) as a three point likert scale was used in the
research in order to determine the perceptions of teacher candidates about preschool education.
Obtained data will be listed in tables. A code number (Ö1, Ö2…) will be given to each open-ended
question to give the opinions of teacher candidates more clearly and quotations will be included. The
results will be interpreted and discussed.

We aimed to identify basic dynamics of Salafi thought throughout history. Salafism is not a sect.
Rather, it is a protectionist mindset and world view. It is a reactionary revolt against current religious
acceptances in regions where socio-cultural world of Islam destabilized. Moreover, its expansionist
and interven-tionist approach does not fit the boundaries of a religious sect. As a technical term
“Salafism” is probably considered as “Hanbelism”. As a mindset “Salafism” exceeded the borders of
“Hanbelism” and even succeeded to invade mental in-frastructure of heirs of its archenemy “ehl-i rey
school”. This study aimed to in-vestigate the grounds for Salafi thought as a mentality by deciphering
the codes of its inner workings from classical to modern times and tried to demonstrate how well it

of family in religious education courses. At the end of study, we have been identified that expression
of the family is seen as one of the main objectives of these courses. In addition, we were understood
that the family had conceived as the basic unit of society. We have also determined that it has targeted
regulation of social relations by way of domestic relations of family. In line with these objectives, it
was frequently cited religious references, particularly the Islamic ones. Thus, religious institutions
have emerged for the Turkish education system as an authority for the verifier on the subject of family.

The present study elaborates on the relationship between school principals’ social justice leadership
behaviors and student engagement in relation to high school students’ opinions. The study was
conducted among high school students from two different school types. The data was collected by
Social Justice Leadership Scale (SJLS) of Özdemir and Kütküt (2015), and Student Engagement Scale
(SES) of Doğan (2015). SJLS is a 24-item and 3-factor Likert type instrument. Its factors are support,
critical consciousness and participation. SES consists of 31 items clustered in three factors. These
factors include emotional, behavioral and cognitive engagement of students. The data was anayzed by
utilizing MANOVA, Pearson Product-Moment correlation, and multiple linear regression. As for
validity, confirmatory factor analysis was conducted on LISREL software to test construct validity of
the data collection tools. Further, internal consistency reliability of the instruments was tested by
calculating Cronbach alpha values. The limitations and future implications for research and practice in
the field of educational administration are discussed in relation to the findings of the study.

Synchrony Types which have an effect on the translation in Voice-Over Transfer Mode

Faculty of Arts and Sciences, German Translation and Interpreting Department, Marmara University,
Goztepe Campus 34722 Kadıkoy/ Istanbul, Turkey
The aim of the study is to analyse the voice-over translation in documentaries which is one of the
transfer mode of the Audiovisual Translation. Common practice of voice-over which is accepted in the
world is to perform dubbing over the original voice. Original voice in this transfer mode continues to
be heard simultaneously in the background. Technically, the translated speech comes into play by
giving chance to be heard original voice a few seconds before and original voice is faded down with
narrator’s steps in. The translation usually finishes several seconds before the original and the sound of
the original is raised again to a normal volume so that the audience can hear a part of it. The reason of
original voice’s being heard a few seconds before the narrator and continuing to be heard in
background is to preserve authenticity and to give the chance of evaluation to the audience. From this
aspect, voice-over is accepted as the most reliable audiovisual translation method. After a literature
review of voice-over in Audiovisual Translation, the documentary “Sunflowers” originally produced
in English by BBC and an episode of the series “The private life of a Masterpiece” will be compared
with the Turkish version based on the classification of different types of synchronies. The comparison
will indicate asymmetries/divergences and parameters between the English and Turkish version. The
analysis also focuses on the role of the translator who should take into account both the technical
aspects of the voice-over translation mode and the substantial varying intrinsic characteristics between
languages during the translation process.

Administration 22030, Edirne, Turkey
Subjective well-being consists of negative, positive affect and life satisfaction, and generally has been
used as synonymous with happiness. Work alienation is a condition that can cause undesirable results
on work, organizations and individuals. Subjective well-being is desired to increase while alienation is
desired to decrease. Accordingly it can be thought that notions of subjective well-being and work
alienation are substantial.
In this context purpose of the research has been determined as revealing the employees’ subjective
well-being and work alienation. At first, related literature has been viewed and said notions have been
discussed theoretically. In first part of the study subjective well-being and in second part work
alienation has been examined in details.
In third part of the study, a survey has been implemented on academic staff in order to test the
hypotheses developed within the context of research purpose. Data gained from the 592 academicians
who works at public universities, has been evaluated by Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests on
SPSS 22. It has been commented on analysis results with the help of tables.
According to analysis results; it has been found out that there are statistically significant relationships
between powerlessness and gender, marital status, age, educational status, title; between meaningless
and marital status, age, job tenure, title, work unit, income; self-estrangement and marital status, age,
job tenure, title, income. Additionally there are statistically significant relationships between negative

The geographical factors are examined in this Islam Belief of outer community. Turkey is one of the
countries in which the Sunni Islam tradition is common. However, the Pre-Islamic belief factors and
the belief consept of Turkish community living in Anatolia have been differentiated with the coming
of Islam. The belief and practices related with nature which has been brought through the system of
Islamic belief from the Pre-Islamic belief has provided a basis of the Islamic faith of outer community.
So, astronomical and meteorological elements, holy trees, holy and sinister animals, certain days and
weeks, places which are used for visiting, stones and caves are the framework of our study. Thus, the
geographical elements in Pre-Islamic traditional Turkish belief system are keeping up-to-date.
Especially, it is possible to observe it in the Turkish communities who lived in touch with nature.

Audio-visual translation: Subtitling
Gulhanim Unsal
Associate Professor
Departement of French Translation and Interpretation, University of Marmara, İstanbul, Turkey
This study aims at studying subtitling, one of the oldest forms of audio-visual translation methods.
Subtitling is defined as type of audiovisual translation that has its own specifications, rules and criteria
and has restrictions of time and space which directly affect the final result of the work. Due to the
restrictions of space and time, subtitlers resort to shortening and/or adapting the original script.
However, it is essential that source text should lose neither its meaning nor linguistic features it has.
That is to say that, subtitling does not only consist of translating the textual context, but also
supporting the viewer in the image and the audio, with limited time and space. Although it is widely
practised in Turkey, subtitling does not receive enough attention it deserves. Thus, the study is to deal
with striking characteristics, difficulties and merits of of subtitling and to examine several French to
Turkish movie samples in terms of linguistics, syntactic and formal aspects.

Development and Promotion of Carpet - making in Konya: The First Carpet - Rug
Exhibition Dated 1901
EMRAH YILMAZ

Deparment of History, Anadolu University, Eskişehir / Turkey
Carpet production undeniably had a significant place in the Ottoman Empire. Anatolia had an evident
advantage as a center of carpet-making in the Ottoman geography. Carpet weaving culture is accepted
to have started with the nomadic tribes who settled in Anatolia. Among those, the Kaçar Tribe, by
settling in Uşak, took an important role in the development of carpet-making and weaving in the
region, and making Uşak a significant carpet-making and weaving center. Additionally, it is
understood that Ottoman rugs, which are known as Oriental rugs, were produced with serial-intensive
(mass) production methods, because transportation conditions had been improving since the late 19th
century and railways extended into the inner centers of the Anatolian plateau. In our study, we will
firstly analyze the carpet production patterns in Konya in the late 19th century and the early 20th
century, as well as carpet production centers in Konya and the surrounding region. Secondly, we will
thoroughly investigate the purpose and format of the first carpet-rug exhibition organized in Konya in
the Anatolia region, the efforts of Konya Governor Avlonyalı Ferid Paşa in opening and successfully
concluding this exhibition, the importance of the exhibition for later exhibitions and the exhibition
instructions which includes information regarding the terms of joining the exhibition. We know that
carpet-making is an important source of income in Konya, home and workshop style carpet production
became popular in the early 20th century, and in addition to carpets, female carpet producers also
wove prayer rugs, sheets, table cloths, linen towels, shirt fabrics and cloths in various colors and
designs. Consequently, in this article, historical conditions of carpet production in Konya, patterns and
development of production in Konya, and the impact of the exhibition which opened in 1901 will be
analyzed.

The cinema that is known as seventh art branch is a product of secondary culture. Cinema is one of the
art branches that deal with products of primary culture at the most. Domestic and foreign cinema
sector converts the products of folk literature like fairytale, saga, legend, myth, fable, anecdote, ballad,
song to modern narrations and transmit these narrations to broader range communities via mass media.
Especially fairytales among the mentioned narrations are turned into a screenplay in both Turkey and
world by changing episodes or doing no change in episodes as well as they can be used in other
fairytales without changing their episodes. Even though there is not really much place to fairytale
adaptations in Turkish cinema, there is an interest that increase day by day towards fairytale adapted
films. While fairytales are adapted to films in domestic cinema, they obey on totally fairytale or totally
digress from adaptation format by using name of fairytale or fairytale character. Whereas, in the world
cinema, films that are produced by recreation of fairytale and fairytale characters nearby films that
exactly overlap with plot of fairytale are shot. While 5 films are coming out in the Turkey between
2000-2013 years; this number is 28 in world cinema. While secondary oral culture periods are obliging
benefit from primary oral culture period, reproduction and usage of folk adaptations, Turkish cinema
makes no headway and continues to present fairytales that it takes from west without doing any
change. Starting from these implications; adaptations of fairytales that are products of folk literature to
Turkish and world cinema by taking modern narration format in this notice. Additionally, attitude that
Turkish and world cinema follow will be compared by supporting with quantitative data in the period
of adaptation of fairytales to films.

Department of Western Languages and Literature, Süleyman Demirel University, Isparta, Turkey
One of the most prominent sub-genres of Gothic fiction, vampire theme has caught a great deal of
attention in recent years. There is no doubt that charismatic and handsome depictions of vampires
paved the way for their popularity. Their characteristics, however, are still those that Stoker has
established in Dracula in 1897. Dracula has a great importance for Gothic fiction as it is both the first
and the most popular vampire novel. There are many productions on it both at the cinema and in
literature all around the world. Despite its worldwide popularity, Vampire theme has a poor history in
Turkish literature and arts.
The aim of this study is to highlight the reception of Bram Stoker’s epistolary novel Dracula (1897) in
Turkish arts. In this regard, Dracula and its Turkish counterparts will be examined at close quarters.
The study will particularly focus on the close analysis of Ali Rıza Seyfi’s 1928 novel Kazıklı
Voyvoda, which is more or less a summary, or a translation of Dracula. As Kazıklı Voyvoda (Vlad the
Impaler) is a real historical figure that Stoker is claimed to have based his fictional Count Dracula on
him, the study will need to have a brief look on him as well.

SAKARYA
This paper considers aesthetical aspects of Kant’s account on insanity. Firstly, I will start with internal
touchstone of insanity, that is, the positive aspects of illusions created by reason. Secondly I will turn
motives why Kant goes beyond the autonomous realm of reason and searches an external touchstone
in his theory of mental disorders.
The second one related with Kant’s definition of insanity as “in having lost public sense” and his
account should be read also as political one. While Kant says directly nothing definite regarding the
relations of politics and faculty of judgement, Arendt rightly recognized political implications of
Kant’s theory and, the possibility of collective mental disorders under the regime of totalitarianism.
At the end of this paper, I will try to show that these two touchstone of truth is not enough and there is
also third one, namely aesthetics, at work as a medium in Kantian dialectic. In Kantian system, mental
disorders, that is disorders of cognitive faculties, can be attuned by the improvement of artistical
ability of human species.

SPATIAL AND CULTURAL RESULTS OF NEOLIBERAL POLICIES:
PRODUCTION OF NEW DISCIPLINARY SPACES AND NEW CULTURAL
IDENTITIES
Aysun AYDIN OKSUZ, Zafer SAGDIC
Department of History of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical University,
Trabzon, Turkey
According to Foucault, commonly adoption of prison in Western societies in the ninetieth century
points on a very importance transition period in power fields. In the field of punishment, incarceration
has taken the place of public executions, torture or other ""demonstrations"". A ""double process of
change"" has been in question. Shows have disappeared and deprive of freedom and abusive discipline
have taken the place of giving suffer. This transition has begun changing spatial equivalent of
discipline concept. Discipline definition has begun to be expressed with words such as
shutdown/abstraction/hidden. Discipline in front of the community has evolved into abstraction from
the community and surveillance. Being under surveillance has become a natural part of the discipline.
Determination of the fact that surveillance is one of the most important tools of discipline has taken
'disciplining' concept into the daily life. Discipline was no longer just a criminal action that is
performed after the crime; with Foucault's definition, it has begun to turn into ""docile bodies"" or
social taming.
At this point, the following question takes place: to which places have places such as factory, hospital,
school, barrack - defined by Foucault - which are the surveillance-based discipline places in the
ninetieth century turned into and which cultural codes have begun to be produced by this transition.
When Foucault's docile bodies definition and the fact that surveillance is a natural part of discipline
are considered together and when it is thought that the basic discipline places of neo-liberal economies
in today's world are Malls, Residences and Office Buildings, it is seen that a new/complex/spiral
global cultural code is produced.
In this context, aim of this study is to create a critical perspective on how have the residence buildings,
high office blocks and shopping malls, which can be accepted as physical equivalent of discipline
concept, been normalized; how have they been a part of life without being aware; how have they been
turned into choice objects; and how these new covered/hidden discipline places produce a global
single cultural code.

PRODUCTION AND CHANGE OF CITY REALITY

Department of History of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical University,
Trabzon, Turkey
Entrance of Internet into the daily life with advancement of information technologies has changed the
communication style of individuals and allowed people use Internet tools more. The virtual world
provided by the Internet technology is a new cultural virtual reality world in which the users express
themselves and communicate with the other users. With opportunity of using virtual communication
programs in mobile devices, the users can instantly share the cities they go and every status shared in
Internet can turn into a new virtual culture code for that city. They can upload photos of the cities they
visit and they can make comments on these cities. In this way, one can have ideas and predictions on a
city he/she didn't go, as if he/she went there before.
Developments in communication technologies impact the city's perception and description too. With
Internet network, a new single world fiction and virtual cities have been created. This virtual visibility
of cities come before the physical experience and it becomes detectable with Internet tools. Therefore,
one can have information on a city he/she didn't visit physically. This situation creates a different
reality perception other than known and accepted real spatial culture description. In other words, real
cultural codes on a city, which are felt or defined with physical senses are now expressed with only a
mental/intellectual reality description.
In this context, aim of this study is to fins answers to questions of how the technological changes in
communication impacted and changed ""city reality, city perception"" concepts, how these concepts
are rebuilt and how the new virtual culture codes that can be created as result of these questions are
shaped. In accordance with the aforementioned inspections, firstly the definition of Internet and virtual
media and the new reality created by them will be discussed, then the problem about new virtual
cultural codes created by city culture and virtual media, and impacts and changes of these codes on
cities will be inspected.

In 18th and 19th century the political and the cultural interactions between Ottomans and Russians
considerably improved. In order to prevent the decedance of the Empire Ottomans started to have a
close look to Europe for the scientific improvements. This so called “Westernizing Movements” at this
period also caused to grow an interest in Ottomans in Western countries. They started to send artists
and scientists with the ambassadors, as a natural result of these interactions. The European culture and
art began to influence especially the Otoman court art. During the Tanzimat period, the Western
influences became more noticable. Painting exhibitions started to be held. The first fine art school
opened in Istanbul. The art students went to the Western academies to study painting. Osman Hamdi
Bey was the most ambitious student among them. While he was studying in Paris at Jerome’s studio,
he met Russian painter Vereshchagin. Both painters were influenced by Oriantalist movement. It is
possible to see the mystical atmosphere and the documentary value in their paintings.

The correspondence of Russian diplomats-ambassadors (’’stateynıye spiski’’) and the notes of
travelers, who were in search of new territories, give place not only to sacred places and relics of
Christianity, but also to impressions about Istanbul. With the political and commercial relations
between Russia and Turkey getting stronger in the 18th century, Petro the Great had to assign an
experienced diplomat, who would be in good terms with the Ottoman administrators. Petr
Andreyevich Tolstoy, chosen by the tsar, performs his missions successfully between 1702-1714 in
Turkey. The 12 years period with highly intense relations and difficulties becomes the centre of
attention for Russian historians and writers. In our study, the time that Petr Andreeviç Tolstoy spent in
Ottoman fields and in Istanbul are studied, depending on the reports of the ambassadors in state
archives, the historical-fictional work of investigator N. Pavlenko “Vokrug Trona. Ptentsi gnezda
Petrova. Strasti u trona” and the historical novel of Y. Fedorov “Poruçaet Rossiya”

Merve Ozkan Borsa
Dr.
Department of International Relations, Istanbul University, Istanbul, Turkey
It is unargued that the consequences of the migrant/refugee crisis the world is facing today, has
obviously been and is being affected by international legal regulations -besides that of the states
individually-. International legal regulations regarding this issue, however, have some shortcomings in
meeting the contemporary needs and in comparison to each other. In this article, one of these
international legal regulations, -though regional; effective and operative- the European Convention on
Human Rights and additionally the decisions of European Court of Human Rights (to see how the
provisions of this Convention are interpreted) will be handled and analysed to come to a conclusion on
the question of what extent these accord with the specific convention of the Convention relating to the
status of Refugees adopted in 1951 and whether they are adequate in order to overcome the challenges
of the recent crisis which requires to be met. On the other hand, one should be reminded of the fact
that the shortcomings and inadequacies are not limited to the European Convention on Human Rights;
1951 Convention and alike are neither devoid of these, as regards to various universal human rights
values, but, whilst recognising them, these issues will be left out of the limits of this paper. In the final
part of the study, some recommendations on how these inadequacies could be eliminated will be
discussed.

Although there are many studies upon questioning the relation between the economic growth, energy
consumption and environmental quality, the relationships between the institutional spheres in which
the economic activities realize were not questioned adequately in those studies. To obtain sustainable
development, institutions should be added to the analysis. To fill the gap, relationship between
institutional quality and CO2 emissions was questioned in this study. The datum for 13 middle income
countries which covers the period between the years from 2001 to 2011 was examined by the panel
data analysis method. In the realized study, the Pollution Heaven Hypothesis was also examined.
Variables which will represent the institutional quality level are taken as the subcomponents of World
Governance Index. These variables are the control of corruption, the government effectiveness,
political stability and the absence of violence/terrorism, the regulatory quality, the rule of law and
voice and accountability. Per capita income, fossil fuel usage and energy consumption were used as a
auxiliary explanatory variables in our model. Results support that institutional quality effect
environmental quality directly and indirectly. The effects of the variables which used as indicators of
institutional quality differ in the analysis.

Fyodor A.Emin is one of the most interesting writers of the 18th century Russian literature, because
when he came to Russia and began to live there it was not well known where he was born and who he
was. The famous writer and journalist Novikov and the publisher Kopnin who were his
contemporaries tried to write Emin’s biography on the basis of his works and on what he had told
them. But the Soviet researchers Beshenkovsky and Arzumanova found several documents in the
Russian government archives, which proved that Emin’s ancestors were from Poland and they
migrated to Ottoman Turkey. According to these documents, Emin, who had to become a muslim,
couldn’t continue to live in Istanbul as an Otoman soldier because of some uncertain reasons and went
to Russia. He lived in Russia until the end of his life serving three tsars. Emin as an immigrant was
always in need of money and in debt. Several times he wrote official letters to the tsars about his
insufficient salaries. At the end Catherine the Great lent him money, and asked to be notified about his
every future translation, which would pay back the debt, given by her. Besides, Emin tried to find a
kind of solution in the literature life by publishing novels, which were very attractive for the Russian
people. In spite of his short literature life and learning Russian quite late, Emin had managed to
become a very productive and popular adventure-romance novel writer among the ordinary people.
Today Emin from Istanbul is considered to be one of the founders of the Russian novel.

occurred in processes of changing and transformation. Fulfilling these needs brings with new
problems. Developing technology is paving the way for a set of new problems while offering solutions
for occurred problems. These problems occurred by discussing and evaluating the matter in terms of
ethic, legal and religious. One of these problems is paternity in surrogate motherhood as a result of
development of medical technology.
The only occurrence reason of conjugal community is not to have a child and thus continue the family
but this factor is situated in a central place for occurrence of “family” and its gaining continuity. As
well as “childlessness” is a reason for divorce in Turkey, the matter of artificial insemination will
remain on the agenda. In addition to this, the needs of people to have a child by using a different
method, will prompt the society to use helper reproduction techniques.
In our study, answers for a set of legal problems will be researched such as concept of motherhood,
legal characteristics of agreement made between surrogate mother and genetic mother-father; whether
the woman who gives birth or the woman who has the eggs will be considered as mother, for people
applying surrogate motherhood system; in terms of affinity law; equivalent of this condition in our
legal system, in cases of applying surrogate motherhood method in foreign countries or with illegal
ways; establishing paternity with father according to whether the woman who gives birth is married or

"RE-READING AYŞE KULIN'S GIZLI ANLARIN YOLCUSU AND BORA’NIN
KITABI AS WORKS OF QUEER THEORY"
Ozlem Dilaver
Instructor
Adnan Menderes University, School of Foreign Languages AYDIN/TURKEY
Queer, in a broad sense, is an umbrella term that is used to describe men and women who have a
sexual attraction to the people of the same sex. While this term had a pejorative meaning at first, it was
evolved later and became so named in the early 1990s. Even though queerness is considered as a taboo
by majority of people, it has recently gained popularity in the field of literature. Likewise in Turkey
many writers including Ayşe Kulin have shed light on this controversial theme. The aim of this paper
is to examine Ayşe Kulin’s two novels, Gizli Anların Yolcusu (The Passenger on a Secret Path) and
Bora’nın Kitabı (Bora’s Book), from the point of “queer theory”. As these two books are sequels, it
will be to the point to analyze both. The main concern of the books is the difficulties which the
protagonist Bora has undergone while he is trying to find his sexual identity in a traditional society. In
this sense; at the very beginning of the study, it will be focused on the term in question by providing a
short philosophical context. Then the books will be analyzed considering the data of “queer theory”.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether different urban environments have different impact on
way-finding strategies of blind people and if there are any impacts what these are. It also inquires how
blind people use their senses and how the priority of senses changes according to the urban context.
The participants of the study consist of 9 congenitally blind individuals and took place in an urban
fabric, namely Kemeralti District in İzmir and in an urban park, namely İzmir Fair Park. In the first
phase (learning phase), a first trial along the selected routes was conducted for each participant
individually accompanied by the researcher. In the second phase (test phase), the participants were
requested to re-walk the route and talk about the environmental cues they attend to. The participants’
verbal reports were recorded and transcripts of the recordings were coded according to the
environmental sensory inputs such as auditory, tactile and olfactory information. In addition, their
short-term memory was also evaluated. The results show that the characteristics of the urban
environment seem to have an impact on way-finding strategies of blind individuals. It was learnt that
the sound of the city and the echo of the environment is the most important factor for blind
participants in a dense urban environment. Environmental obstacles create echoes and give a sense of
enclosure which helps them orient themselves. However, in the park environment, the sense of
enclosure is almost impossible because of lack of boundaries in the environment.

SWOT Analysis Assessment of E-commerce in Organic Product Marketing
Esma Arda
Department of Economics, Trakya University, Edirne, Turkey
People’s eating habits have changed in the world as time passed by. Since the 1990s it is believed that
healthy and eco-friendly nutrition style should be adopted even though early on people would eat to
fill themselves only. At the present time consumers’ self-awareness about healthy food consumption
and nature conservation has increased their sensitiveness and demand on organic products. As a
consequence of that, organic agriculture has become widespread. By this way, eco-friendly agriculture
forms using modern technology have come up. After all these developments, organic products market
has emerged.
Organic products don’t include preservative synthetic chemical materials. Therefore, those products
don’t remain fresh for a long time, don’t have long storage life and can’t be produced due to market
demand. All those problems constitute organic products’ marketing issues. Consequently producers
direct themselves to e-commerce. Apart from traditional methods, e-marketing and e-commerce
oriented marketing strategies should be used in order to survive in national and international organic
products market. E-commerce enables organic products to be marketed and to set the whole country
and the world as potential market.
In this paper, SWOT analysis has been performed by determining strengths, weaknesses, opportunities
and threats oriented towards using e-commerce in organic products marketing, and SWOT matrix has
been generated. E-commerce’s contribution to organic agriculture sector, as an important instrument to
minimize agricultural marketing problems, has been evaluated. It can be mentioned that e-commerce
plays a significant role in establishing national and international supply-demand balance by internet
and computer without time and place limitation, and in providing active marketing.

University, Ankara, Turkey
Augmented reality (AR) has become a popular technological topic in recent years, and it is now also
widely used in educational environments. Because AR has attracted much scholarly attention, a review
is presently needed of academic studies that are focused on the applicability of AR in education. In the
current study, 68 articles dealing with the use of augmented reality (AR) in education and published in
Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) journals up to 2016 were analysed. The articles’ topic trends

The nineteenth and early twentieth centuries are periods in which are possible to observe a large
development of the architecture and the conceptions about the characteristics of housing, basing them
on the hygienists and moral theories that were being spread as well as through the technical and
aesthetic innovations associated with the emerging industrial reality. Within the context of housing
transformation and the enhancement of the distinction between the public and private spheres, it is
highlighted the bourgeois home model and the Art Nouveau architecture. In Brazil, the style had little
implementation among the architects, gaining prominence through the work of the french architect
Victor Dubugras. In this sense, this paper seeks to understand the conception of the bourgeois house
and its association with the Art Nouveau architecture developed in Brazil. This analysis focuses on
three residences designed by the architect Victor Dubugras for São Paulo’s bourgeoisie: the Uchôa
Village, Horacio Sabino’s residence and the residence of Arari’s baroness. Into these three residences,
the paper aims to investigated the characteristics of Art Nouveau, the spatial design, environments
arrangement and the association between the private and collective areas. Finally, it’s possible to
emphasized the residences analyzed in this paper can be considered a reflection of social, cultural and
economic conditions, mainly due to the bourgeoisie built-needs programs express the importance
given by this social group to its own public image.

their interests. In other words, collusion is two or more people to defraud a person of his rights or to
obtain something that is prohibited by law. Collusion, essentially related to private law, is made in
order to harm the interests of other individuals or provide benefit for parties. But the tax liability
resulting from private law procedure, these transactions has a results acording to tax law.
Collusion can be made both legal and illegal. In legal terms, all acts effected by collusion, agreement
especially for fraudulent purposes, are considered void in private law. But, collusion is considered
valid in Turkish Tax System.
In Turkish Tax System, the state of collusion and the position of the collusion is a controversial issue.

Department of Preschool Education, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey
The aim of this study is to examine age and gender differences in 3-6 years-old preschool children’s
gender development and perceptions related to gender. What gender self-concepts have preschool girls
and boys developed and what do they mean to them? This research was carried out with
phenomenology approach to collect detailed and in-depth information about preschool children’s
opinions and perceptions regarding their gender identity. The research was carried out with 40 (20
girls and 20 boys) preschool children aged 3-6 who continue their education in 4 private preschools in
Istanbul during 2015-2016 school year. As data collection tool, an interview form consisting of 13
semi-structured questions was used. Five questions in form was an adaptation of close-ended questions
in Slaby and Frey’s (1975) Gender Constancy Interview to determine the levels of children’s gender
constancy. Other seven questions are open-ended and developed by researchers to collect information
about children’s gender self-concepts. Data obtained from interviews were analyzed by using
descriptive analysis technique. Results were divided up into three main themes, including “games and
toys”, “gender constancy” and “perceptions related to one’s own and opposite gender”. Results have
shown that game and toy preferences of most children were based on gender stereotypes they have.
Most children did not demonstrate full degree of gender constancy regardless of their gender and age.
In addition, it was found that older children in both genders showed more rigidity of stereotypes
related to their perception of what their own and opposite gender can and cannot do.

Inheritance Rights of İllegitimate Children in Roman Law
GÜZİDE BURCU GÜNVEREN
Assistant Professor
Roman Law, Uludağ University, Turkey
In the Roman world, as a rule, marriages took place to have successive generations. Girls marrying at
fairly young ages were expected to bore a child by their husbands and the society. A newborn baby,
particularly a baby boy, to join a family was welcomed with great joy, since the baby would
presumedly maintain the family’s sacra, cult, and hand the family name down to the next generations,
which was not the only expectation of families from their future heir: other expectations include
handing family estate down to the next generations without destroying the family, providing the
needed support for parents that grow old in following years and eventually organizing their funeral
rites, ensuring that their memories are remembered with commemorations, and being responsible for
their tombs.
Childlessness was also commonly observed in Roman families. Romans could not reproduce due to
various factors, primarily such as infertility. Health problems including the tendency of miscarriage,
especially among pregnant women that were conceived at a very early age, prevented parents from
having children.

PHYSIOLOGICAL RESPONSES
Dilem Dinc, Asli Aslan
Cag University, Mersin, Turkey
Although there is a claim about Turkish Classical Music that while Rast mode interprets positive
mood, Huzzam mode interprets negative mood, this claim is not studied empirically. The purpose of
this study is to examine the relationship between Turkish Classical Music and emotions, and
physiological responses synchronized with emotions. 33 men and 52 women who are university
students participated in the study voluntarily. Data was collected individually in computer
environment. All participants were listened to 4 pieces of music. While listening to the pieces
participants’ physiological and emotional responses were measured. To analyze the data, ANOVA (4
mode: Huzzam1, Huzzam2, Rast1, Rast2 X 5 tempo and complexity: no music, fast-simple, fastcomplex, slow-simple, slow-complex) was carried out. Physiological measures were divided equally
to four epochs (time: 15s epochs) and analyzed. Findings showed that there are significant differences
between Rast and Huzzam modes. In Rast mode, fast-complex music elicited positive emotions; while
in Huzzam mode, slow music elicited negative emotions than music in Rast mode. Cardiovascular
responses discriminated moods induced by music. Music listened in Rast mode had higher
cardiovascular responses. On the contrary music listened in Huzzam mode had lower cardiovascular
responses. Results were discussed in the literature.

Joint effects of anxiety and mood on risk taking behavior for elderly and young.
Asli Aslan, Dilem Dinc, Bahtim Kutuk
Department of Psychology, Mersin University, Mersin, Turkey
Numerous studies showed that many factors, such as cognition, emotions and personality influences
the decision-making mechanism in potentially risky situations. In fact, mood state’s contribution to the
decision-making mechanism is quite substantial. Depressed people are often advised by their
therapists to think twice before taking important steps. In many studies, anxiety or stress levels found
to predict behavioral outcomes differently for the people from different age groups (e.g. Macatee, R.
J., ; Johnson, S. B. 2012, ). In this study, we examined the influence of positively and negatively
induced moods on risk-taking behavior for three different age groups (adolescents, young adults and
elderly). Participants in all there age groups were randomly assigned to positive and negative mood
conditions. Happy and negative mood states were induced by movie clips and music. Risk taking
behavior was measured by using Balloon Analogue Risk Task and study involved real money payoffs.
It was found that, young people behaved more risky on positive mood induction condition than the
elderly people. We also found associations between risk taking behavior, anxiety levels and perception
of risk levels.

Positive and Negative Economic Impacts of Mega Sport Events
Emre Cengiz
PhD Student

Türkiye
Mega sport events are defined as the activities that are organized for one or more times in a specific
time period; that draw intense attraction of the international media; and that leave their effects for a
long time. The examples to these events are the World Cup, European Cup, Summer Olympic Games,
and Winter Olympic Games.
Economic impacts, which start with the process of becoming a candidate for hosting the mega event,
continue in the time period that the event occurs in, and they continue for many years after the event is
done.
The economic impacts of mega events usually occur in three ways. The first one covers the
consumption expenses of the visitors, players, journalists, and the organisers. The second one is the
development that happens in the local economy with the new business investments and the expenses
for the design of the event facilities. In other words, they are the expenses made for ensuring the
security and functionality of the facilities. These three types of impact maintain their effects on the
hosting country for many years.
In this study, the negative and the positive impacts of the events on the countries that host the mega
sport events will be explained.

Due to being the organ that learning occured, brain itself and the structure and functioning of the brain
has been the focus of attention of educators. The rapid development of brain imaging technology
offers important clues to medical world and therefore to educators. As a result of research on brain and
learning, a teaching and learning approach that called “Brain Compatible Learning, Brain Based
Learning, Neuro-physiological Learning” in literature. But, according to some research findings, many
techniques used under the name of learning based on brain are neuromyths so it has been demonstrated
that the inventions of neuroscience was misunderstood and misused. The purpose of this study is to
determine the neuromyth level of teachers and teacher candidates and reveal if there is significant
difference in terms of some variables (gender, class, seniority, etc.)
Research was designed in survey model. The research sample was formed with 241 teachers that are
working in İzmir in the 2015-2016 academic year and 511 teacher candidates. In the collection of data,
“Educational neuromyhts test” that has 31 questions with options “right, wrong, I have no idea” that
was created by the authors by applying reliability studies. Score that can be taken from measuring tool
are in the range of 0-31.
According to the findings; while teachers are having an average score of “18,87”, teacher candidates
received an average score of “16,70”. While comparing the scores of teachers and teacher candidates,
a significant difference in favor of the teachers (p=.000) were found. The results of the research are
expected to led to a debate on “brain and learning” issues and ensure awareness on the issue while
contributing to comparisons between countries.

Environmental risks and technological progress in perception and practices of Italians
Benedetta Martino
PhD Student
Department of Communication and Social Research, University La Sapienza, Rome, Italy
This paper is concerned with environmental risks. In particular, it is concerned with how and why
different people produce the same risks in different ways and the implications that these have on
society as a whole. The notion of risk appears central to the concept of nowadays. Modern confidence
in progress, rationality, positivism, objective truth and knowledge have all been undermined and
eroded. For many years numerous international sources have shown the rapidity with which the human
being is gradually destroying the ozone layer. Man with his activities to globalize is contributing
global warming, increasing water and air pollution, and the consequence is the reduction of
biodiversity, the destruction of forests, the depletion of mineral resources. All this takes place even if
it is well known that man’s future mainly depends on protection and safeguard of the environment.
Many actions in our standard behavior and daily routine, as for instance turning the light and heating
on, making electrical appliances work, driving and throwing the disposal of waste away surely have
high impact on environmental quality. Furthermore these actions have different behaviors depending
of gender and age. It has been decided to create a web survey to analyze the relation between the
different behaviors, the environmental risks and the technological progress in perception and practices
of Italians.

begining of the 1970’s and has an increase importance with the crisis of the 2000’s. Evaluation of
results of the application of these fiscal rules is necessary because of the fact that fiscal rules has been
accepted as the single economic recipe and the budget rule during the development of neo-liberal
policies. In the scope of this study it is aimed to ascertain the reasons of fiscal rules rationalization
process based on neo-liberal policies. Thanks to this study it is planning to compensate for the
discursive critiques about fiscal rules. Therefore it is used the statistics published by Worldbank and
IMF for the evaluation of 89 countries. In the scope of this evaluation firstly it is formed on a scale for
the level of fiscal rules and secondly it is evaluated that the relationship between this level of fiscal
rules scale and the level of corruption, voice&accountabilitly. Finally it is planing to conclude that
rationalisation instruments of fiscal rules can not be realized in the meantime.

Vicious Bees of the Prosperous Hive: An Investigation on Mandeville’s The Fable of the
Bees
Isil Cesmeli
PhD Student
Department of Philosophy, Middle East Technical University, Ankara,Turkey
Dutch physician and pamphleteer Bernard Mandeville is notable for his masterpiece The Fable of the
Bees. He investigates self-regarding motives and selfish moral conduct of human species in it. His
assertion of selfishness as a primary motivation of man denotes the revival of Hobbesian pessimistic
thesis in the eighteenth century. Besides, in the first volume of The Fable a poem named “The
Grumbling Hive: or Knaves turn’d Honest” leads to his well-known paradox “private vices public
benefits.” He portrays vicious bees of a prosperous hive by giving moral motivation and private vices
and self-interested pursuits of them which turn into general flourishing. The story depicted in the
poem, says Mandeville, is a perfect simile of human species in the sense that qualifications which
seem to mortify us, in fact are attached and accompanied to a flourishing society. Does Mandeville
encourage vices like avarice, lavishness and dishonor? Is vicious prosperity preferable to virtuous
poverty? Or does he try to expose hypocrisy and fraud of mankind? The aim of this paper is to
examine Mandeville’s account regarding morals in the light of these questions and look into reactions
and criticisms of eighteenth century Scottish philosophers to his selfish hypothesis.

Perceptions determine how people comprehend an object, a concept or a condition and how people
feel about these mentioned topics. A method which is employed to evaluate perceptions is metaphor.
In this study, determining students' perceptions regarding "science courses" and "science course
teacher" is aimed with the help of metaphors and drawings. This study utilizes qualitative research
methods and employs science case patterns. In addition, the study is in the form of survey model. The
researchers have focused on survey forms including open-ended statements such as "Science courses
are like......; since........", "Science course teacher is like......." as devices to gather data. Also the
researcher asked the students to make drawings for each metaphor. Through these methods, reaching
metaphors' symbolic meanings has been aimed. The gathered data have been analyzed by content
analysis method. The research's study group comprises 490 students who are from 4 different middle
schools functioning in the districts of İzmir in 2015-2016 education term. After analysis, 229 boys and
205 girls, in total 434 students have been included to the study. Various metaphors related to each
concept have been attained. Gathered metaphors have been associated with their explanations and
presented by creating common themes. The data gathered from this study have significant role in
enlightening the preparation process of the future programs. Covering and analyzing these studies in
the teaching courses might help students to improve and change their thoughts as well as helping them
to make judgements while questioning concepts. Furthermore, this study could be considered as a
resource for the future quantitative and qualitative studies.

Education was first brought into agenda with the United Nations, Declaration of Universal Human
Rights as a “right” in the field of international human rights; and in the following process, the
understanding of education not only being the subject of a public service but also being the subject of
a right has been brought into use by many other countries.
The right to education has been included in universal and regional human rights declarations with a
rich coverage, common language and standards. This right has been transferred to positive law, and
has been influential in expressing the need for additional measures to enable children’s groups, who
lived in a situation deprived of this right, and especially the disadvantaged groups, to benefit from the
right to education in an equal manner without being discriminated.
Parallel to the developments in international law, the right to education has been recognized as a basic
right at the constitutional level by the majority of the countries all over the world; and the precautions
that should be taken in order to ensure the education of children, who are in difficult economic
conditions or who are in difficult situations in terms of language, religion, ethnical origin, being a
foreigner and immigrant; and also to include the handicapped, who need special education in the
educational processes.
In this study, the level of Turkey in performing the liabilities in the field of education accompanied by
the present constitutional regulations will be determined since Turkey is the participating party of the
majority of the relevant international agreements. Also, recommendations will be provided on how to
make amendments in the Constitution and in the new constitution that is planned in agreement with
international principles and standards.

Department of Entrepreneurship, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey
The term ‘ecopreneurship’ is a combination of two words, ‘ecological’ and ‘entrepreneurship’.
Ecopreneurship can thus be roughly defined as ‘entrepreneurship through an environmental lens’.
Creativity is a process of the generation of new ideas. Therefore, enterpreneurship is an innovative
process which includes both individual and organizational perspectives. On the other hand,
enterpreneurship is a network which combines creativity and innovation in order to commercialize
results after finding an idea. Ecopreneurship is a sub-field of enterpreneurship; thusly, innovative and
creative relations are valid for ecopreneurship, too; field of ecopreneurship is on progress because of
the great importance of ecology for today’s World. In general, most studies have examined the effect
of individual creativity. In this study we will examine the effect of organizational creativity. The
sample of research has been chosen from Karabük University akademik staff. Karabuk University is a
organization that give importance to ecological envoirement and it has “Global Green Award” because
of it’s environmental success and sustainability. Data taken from questionaire which will analyze the

The role of self-regulation between perfectionism and procrastination
Juno ChunLin Ju, YiHsuan Hsu
Department of Counseling and Industrial/Organization Psychology, TaoYuan 33348, Taiwan, ROC
In a society which highlights efficiency and preciseness, people tend to regard perfection as an
important standard we should pursue. However, there always are gaps between expectation to be
perfect and reached perfection, and the phenomenon pervade. This study therefore aims to investigate
the perfectionist's procrastination in learning situations. This current study hypothesizes different type
of perfectionism has different influence on procrastination, and self-regulation might regulate the
relationships between both. The research adopts questionnaire survey to collect data and recruits the
undergraduates, graduate students, executive master program students, and doctoral students in
Taiwan, totals 595 people. With correlation and hierarchical regression analyses it can be found that
higher degree of positive perfectionists have lower degree of active procrastination, while no
significant correlation with passive procrastination. The higher degree of negative perfectionists shows
a significant positive correlation with active and passive procrastination. In addition, self-regulation
shows no significant regulation effect on the relationship between negative perfectionism and active or
passive procrastination. It is believed that positive perfectionists consider punctuality as one of the
standards of perfection therefore they won't procrastinate. On the other side, negative perfectionists
might use evasive and passive procrastination in order to avoid possible failures which hence paralyze
their motivations and actions engaging in tasks. Based on the results, the current study recommends
the intervention toward negative perfectionist with procrastination might focus on identifying and get
rid of irrational beliefs, also learning stress management skills and establishing positive inner language
in order to develop adaptive lifestyle.

The sample covers a five-year period of 2010-2015. In order to measure the financial strength of the
firms, the GRA is performed on a selected set of their liquidity, operating efficiency, financial
leverage and profitability ratios. For the purpose, each firm’s calculated financial ratios are converted
into a single score via the GRA method so that it reflects the firm’s overall performance. The
calculated performance scores are used for ranking the firms. As a result of the study, “Ege Seramik”
appears to be the best in financial performance, followed by “Kütahya Porselen” and “Usak Seramik”
respectively.

Postmodernism begining with its own query and resolution of modernism, by returning to the classical
figure image on painting, taking references from the past, with its color, form, confronts us by
enabling all the posibilities of pictural expressions. Postmodernists who challenged the individuality
and the innovation urge of modernism, by peaking the quoting, they put figure and the political image
which the modernism had revolted, at the center of painting. During this period it is seen that there had
been researches upon the problem of meaning and content which push the limits of place and material.
With this study modern painting which’s boundaries are drawn and postmodern painting will be
compared, the effects of postmodern period on painting and its reflections will be emphasized. By the
literature review, postmodern painters and their works will be examined, The study will come through
by analysing formally and iconographically the chosen painters and their works from the world and
Turkey.

After the war Hanns Chaim Mayer changed his name to Jean Améry. Because he after the war as a
way of distancing himself from all things German. He was arrested, tortured, and sent to a number of
concentration and extermination camps, namely, Auschwitz, Buchenwald and Bergen-Belsen. In 1978,
at age sixty-six, Améry took his own life in a hotel room in Salzburg. He write the existential
condition of the Nazi victim in post-war Europe. He feel uncomfortable in peaceful, lovely land,
inhabited by hardworking, efficient, and modern people. He speaks as a victim and examine his
resentments. Resentments were by no means evident on the days when he left the last of his
concentration camps, Bergen-Belsen, than returned home to Brussels, which was really not his home.
But he had first doubts in 1948, while passing through Germany on a train. Germany's politicians, had
distinguished themselves in the resistance movement, speedily and enthusiastically sought to affiliate
with Europe. Suddenly there was good reason for resentments. Améryean resentments look past and it
is not a revenge nor one of atonement. He believe to have recognized that a forgiving and forgetting
induced by social pressure is immoral. It seems his resentment of purpose is reconciliation.

Open and green areas that are basic elements of urban pattern are described areas as unstructured and
served potential areas for suitable recreational uses. While open and green areas are planned for public
welfare, in the direction of increasing the field of these areas urban renewal works have been
accelerated in recent years especially all kinds of areas of lost their functions. These areas where are
unusable or left for several reasons, have to be transformed thereby to protect within their historical,
cultural and natural values contain in themselves. The areas where are related or unrelated to the city,
contribute to the city by related in this way for using land, physical, functional, social, economic and
ecological meaning. In this context, the beginning of the carried out work has been in Ruhr Region of
Germany where was based on mining and iron-steel industry. This region was subjected to
comprehensive rehabilitation program for depletion of reserves after the war and health conditions that
were reached threatening level in pollution due to becoming unlivable. Thereby the region was both
reacquired and an important example of conversion of the abandoned post-industrial areas in the
world.
In this study, the areas where lost their functions in Turkey and the world were reacquired to the cities
and the contribution of these areas to the quality of urban life were examined by model

Landscape architecture progressed as garden art in historical time, especially 18th century. While
gardens had formed formal, symmetrical approaches until these times, formal approach changed with
naturalistic art movement which was dominated especially Europe after 18th century and started to
formed by the effect of other art movements. Modernism was pioneer movement for becoming artistic
and cultural trend with modern idea from the mid 19th century. Cubism movement was accepted as
the birth of modernism and found a place prominently in many field such as architecture, literature.
Biomorfism that focused on the power of natural life and closeness to the organic forms came up at the
beginning of 20th century and was adopted by some part of art nouveau designers. Modernism
movement was started to be queried as the retrospective re-evaluation effort from the mid 20th century
and postmodern movement showed itself as change effort.
Art movements from 18th century to today have been effective in landscape architecture as in many
areas. In this study, the effect of art movements on landscape architecture was examined and briefed

Rethinking Popper's Politics

Popper thinks that all human products -whether it is social or individual- are the results of a single
process.This process is called problem Popper thinks that all human products -whether it is social or
individual- are the results of a single process.This process is called problem-solving. He puts this
concept in the centre not onlyof epistemology, but also theory of science and his thoughts on the
political structure. For this reason, as it is essential for philosophical thinking to be consistent, we
believe that all his ideas in other areas should be evaluated taking the aforementioned process into
account.
It is clear that ‘ problem-solving’ action indicates the existence of a problem. If we put ‘ problemsolving’ to the very beginning of the adventure of knowledge as claimed by Popper, we define
knowledge or search for knowledge as 'troubleshooting'. This attitude inevitably leads us to mistakes
and deficiencies or it leads us just to see only the adverse situations. The situation develops this way in
all fields of human thought; our information process begins with a problem. Not only the scientific
process but also the political life alter and advance in this way.
According to Popper, science is the search for right and this search progresses not by the accumulation
of the rights but eliminating wrongs. The objective of the political field is the search for freedom. In
parallel with Popper’ s ideas on knowledge and science, freedom should be increased through
removing the restrictive conditions not through duplicating freedom. This means shortly that; in
decisions, especially in political field, objectives should not be planned ignoring and staying away
from the current condition-even if it is an undesirableone- of the society.Just as we think that a
politically mighty society is an ideal one and although we think that it is impossible to achieve it but
that we can correct the existing deficiencies of current society, we should continue thinking in the
same way for scientific activities; science is the search for the right. However, we have no tools
enabling us to distinguish the right from wrong. But beside this, we have a conception of right. And
this conception forces us to search for it. The focal point in this search is the idea that right can be
found through the elimination of wrongs. To put it in a nut shell, according to Popper, every sphere of
life- not only for human beings but also for other creature creatures- is a process of elimination of

The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between pre-service preschool teachers’ selfleadership skills and motivation to teach. The research was carried out with survey model of
quantitative research method. The study group included 186 pre-service preschool teachers who are
senior students at Department of Preschool Education at three (1 foundation and 2 public) universities
in Istanbul in spring semester of 2015-2016 school year. “Self-Leadership Scale” which was
developed by Houghton and Neck (2002) and adapted for educational organizations in Turkey by
Konan and Atik (2015) and “Motivation to Teach Scale” which was developed by Kauffman, YılmazSoylu and Duke (2011) and adapted into Turkish culture by Ayık, Ataş-Akdemir and Seçer (2015)
were used as data collection tools. Pearson Product-Moment Correlation, Mann-Whitney-U and
Kruskal-Walli-H analysis were conducted for data analysis. Results have shown that there is a
significant positive correlation between pre-service teachers’ Self-Leadership Scale total scores and
Motivation to Teach Scale total scores (p<,01). It was also found that behavior-focused strategies and
constructive thought strategies of Self-Leadership Scale were in a significant positive relationship with
both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Motivation dimensions of Motivation to Teach Scale. Results have also
shown that there is a significant positive correlation between seven dimensions of Self-Leadership
Scale and Motivation to Teach Scale. In addition, students’ mean scores of Self-Leadership Scale
significantly differ according to their GPAs on behalf of students with higher GPA.

Urban Poverty and Homelessness
Meryem KÜÇÜK
PhD Student
Sakarya University Esentepe Campus, 54187 Sakarya/ TURKEY
Developments in and after the 19th century that occurred in line with the social changes of the
industrial revolution, transformed the outlook and semantic dimension of poverty. While old poverty
makes life livable and bearable through informal mechanisms within the community, new poverty
eliminates this positive state and instead leaves its place to the deepening of poverty. With the new era
poverty, social differentiation and separation, social exclusion, marginalization, social deprivation,
public violence, hunger and misery became more apparent. In other words, the new poverty
phenomenon that emerged from social changes and transformations, resulted in the creation of
“homeless people” who represents the deepening of poverty and social exclusion. Homelessness not
only exhibits the life spent under bridges, in ruined buildings, parks, on cardboard boxes, but also
displays social and spatial isolation. While the urban area continues its race to attract more capital, it
overlooks the homeless people who are integrated with deep poverty at the edge of the city and
somehow stay out of life. Ultimately, the problematic of homelessness is becoming widespread
nowadays and it turns out to be a significant phenomenon waiting for its resolution.
The research evaluates this problematic as a type of urban poverty, and aims to analyze the challenges
throughout the process, measures developed against this problematic and similarities of homeless
people with underclass group. In-depth interviews were conducted with homeless people using the
method and technique determined in line with the research’s goal. The study is composed of three
sections. The first section of the research lays out a discussion on the conceptual and theoretical
framework related to the subject area. Basic concepts and definitions related to urban poverty has been
covered. The economic, social and cultural factors of urban poverty is analyzed and its relationship
with homelessness is questioned. Thereafter, citing the historical origins of the underclass debate, an
assessment has been made on the formation of underclass phenomenon in Turkey. Finally, the section
concludes by referring to the meaning and scope of homelessness, cross country differences on its
meaning and theories explaining homelessness. The second section of the research addresses the
studies and practices performed in different countries. At the same time, the research covers the
theoretical and applied studies in Turkey with a brief data analysis. Finally, the section concludes with
a description of services for homeless people in Turkey. The third and last section of the research lays
out a comprehensive data analysis on the qualitative research conducted in Zeytinburnu District Sports

Complex Lodging House that has been opened by Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality Directorate of
Almshouse between the dates 24 .02.2014-29 02.2014 to protect the homeless people from cold

homeless people’s socio-demographic characteristic 2.Challenges homeless people face and the
measures they take against them (The other side of the street) 3.Causes of homelessness and
4.Evaluation of the homeless people with underclass indicators.

Institutions of higher education today need to be more autonomous to meet the specific demands of
their environment and make the necessary amendments depending on their own decisions. Such
autonomous institutions require leaders that can influence, motivate and encourage followers, in other
words, transformational leaders. The number of female leaders in Turkish higher education institutes
is increasing but it is not at a satisfactory rating at the moment. The study aims to find out the
transformational characteristics of female leaders through metaphors. This is a descriptive study and 9
female leaders in senior-management positions participated in the study and the answer of the question
“What is a female leader in HEI like? Why?” is tried to be found out. The study also reveals how these
metaphors are connected to transformational leadership characteristics.

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the styles of humor and
perceived stress, anxiety and depression among college students. Humor Styles Questionnaire, Coping
Humor Scale, Life Events Scale, Daily Hassles Scale, Perceived Stress Scale, Trait Anxiety Inventory
and Beck Depression Inventory were administered to 409 (199 females, 210 male) college students.
Results indicated that the Affiliative Humor, Self-Enhancing Humor (subscales of HSQ which
assesses the healthy styles of humor) and Coping Humor were negatively correlated with perceived
stress, anxiety and depression. No significant relationship was found between Aggressive humor and
negative affect however Self-Defeating humor was weakly but positively correlated with negative
affect. The results of the hierarchical regression analyses showed that humor styles were not
moderating the effects of major life events but only aggressive humor style was moderating the effects
of daily hassles on negative affect. Results failed to support the hypothesis that humor moderates the
negative effects of stressful life events on mood.

The study is aimed to determine the prevalence of compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue
(secondary traumatic stress, burnout), level of subjective well-being (experienced positive and
negative emotions) and self-care of workers in helping professions. Another purpose was to determine
whether subjective well-being and self-care can predict compassion satisfaction, compassion fatigue of
selected respondents. Research participants were 220 workers of helping professions - psychologists,
social workers and health professionals. Respondents completed the Slovak adaptation of Professional
Quality of Life Scale, the scale of positive and negative state of mind and the Performed Self-Care
Questionnaire. The results showed a higher incidence of positive than negative aspects of helping - a
higher incidence of compassion satisfaction than compassion fatigue (secondary traumatic stress and
burnout), and experiencing often positive than negative emotions. We also found higher incidence of
physical than psychological self-care. Self-care and subjective well-being have proved to be
significant predictors of compassion satisfaction and fatigue. A higher rate of compassion satisfaction
was explained by frequent positive emotions and physical and psychological self-care. Level of
secondary traumatic stress was mainly explained by experiencing of negative emotions. The most
important protective factor of burnout was psychological self-care. The results indicate the importance
of psychological well-being and self-care in experiencing positive and negative consequences of
helping. It can be used among helping professionals in order to promote compassion satisfaction and
to eliminate the negative effects of helping - stress and burnout.

The emergence of English as a global language and the rise in technological developments and their
frequent and increasing use has made it inevitable for the two fields to come together, making it
possible for English language teachers to integrate WEB 2.0 tools into their language classrooms to
make them more enjoyable, engaging, collaborative and their learners more autonomous. Basal and
Aytan (2014) state that WEB 2.0 is “the second generation of the World Wide Web, which makes it
available for people to collaborate and share information online easier.” This study explores the effects
of using Quizlet, a WEB 2.0 tool, on language learning performance, collaboration and autonomy on
young-adults. The questionnaire was administered at the end of a 16-week studying period with the
tool being used each week in an integrated-skills curriculum. The sample group consisted of 80
Turkish students, with an English background from high school, studying B Level in Preparatory
Classes of Anadolu University, aged 17-19. The researcher’s observations of students’ use of Quizlet
and its effectiveness are as follows: While Quizlet tremendously helped students enhance their
language learning performance, especially in the areas of grammatical structure and vocabulary
learning, it led them to be slightly competitive rather than collaborative during whole-class activities.
Furthermore, learners became more aware of their strengths and weaknesses in language learning, thus
leading them to take more responsibility of their learning and to be more autonomous. The final results
of the questionnaire are being analysed and will be finalized soon.

Anadolu Universitesi İki Eylul Kampusu YDYO ofis C 305 Eskisehir
There has been a shift within the field of language learning and teaching recently with major emphasis
being put on learners and learning instead of teachers and teaching. Considering this new interest, the
following questions become crucial to answer; How do learners process new information? What
strategies do they use to learn or remember the information and improve as a language learner?
Richards and Platt (1992) state that learning strategies are "intentional behavior and thoughts used by
learners during learning so as to better help them understand, learn, or remember new information."
This study explores the use of learning strategies as an important element in the success of youngadult learners of foreign languages. The SILL (Strategy Inventory for Language Learning) by Oxford,
which consists of 6 categories: memory, cognitive, compensation, metacognitive, affective, and social,
was administered at the beginning and at the end of a four-month studying period. Results from the
survey indicated that metacognitive strategies were most frequently used, while memory strategies
were least frequently used and also highlighted that there was a remarkable increase in the
implementation of metacognitive strategies at the end of the four-month period. The overall sample at
the time of the current study consisted of 86 Turkish students studying B Level in Preparatory Classes
of Anadolu University (AUSFL), aged between 17-19, 44 (51.1%) male and 42 (48.9%) female.

The new institutionalism focus on the growing and startling homogeneity of organizational forms and
practices. The new institutionalism’s emphasis on institutional rationality and isomorphic elements for
the organizations. On the other hand universities or generally higher education institutions pledge a
wide range of variety and diversity for programs, structural elements or curriculum they have in recent
years. The purpose of this research is to find out the elements, causes and results of isomorphism in
growing number of waqf universities in Turkey depending on the thoughts of trustees boards members
of the waqf universities. This qualitative study was designed with a phenomenological approach to
describe the thoughts of board of trustees’ members of higher education institutions on isomorphism in
their institutions. Participants of this study were ten (n=10) as members in trustees boards in different
Waqf Universities in İstanbul, Turkey. The data of the study was collected with face to face interviews
with the participants. The data was analyzed via descriptive analysis. The researcher found out three
main themes; (a) coercive, (b)mimetic and (c)normative in accordance with the kinds of isomorphism
in the literature. The results highlighted that the causes of isomorphisim in waqf universities were
legislative regulations, achievement pressure, academic expectation of students, families or sectors. On
the other hand one of the remarking result of the isomorphism in universities was being an ordinary
institutions in population ecology of these institutions. The results of the study were discussed in the
light of the existing literature. The researcher brought suggestions for both policy makers and further
researchers according to the discussions.

Department of Public Relations and Publicity, University of Gazi, Ankara, Turkey
According to Baudrillard, simulation is expressed as “derivation through models of the fact that lack
an origin or a reality”. At this point, a reality that is put indicators instead of the original is possible.
The universe of simulation, imaginary and real have intertwined. Hyperreal has taken the place of the
principles of truth. Movie screen is also affected by this process. Additionally, cinema has contributed
to the advancement of this process by reformating the fact that is represented. Especially, in the type of
the science fiction movie, this situation can be seen clearly by looking at the illusion and fantasy
created with demonstrations. Therefore, the aim of this study, the reflection of simulation in cinema is
to reveal. In accordance with this purpose, it will be discussed first the simulation theory in the scope
of study. Then, it will be focused on the relationship between simulation and cinema. In the last part of
the study, the Truman Show movie have been selected by judicial sampling method to examine in the
context of simulation theory. The Truman Show movie is written by Andrew Niccol in 1998. This
movie is talking about the tragic life of a person named Truman Burbank. He has lived in a studio for
years but he thinks this is real life. In this context, the Truman Show movie that is thought to be
related to the this subject will be examined by considering the stylistic and depth narrative dimension
from the perspective of Baudrillard’s simulation theory.

Actions, behaviors, preferences and decisions as well as rights and wrongs of an individual all point to
a system of values. Because people’s acts and behaviors, as well as their assessment of events closely
relate to the values they hold dearly, the effects of values on political preferences constitute an
important topic of scholarly investigation.
This study aims at figuring out the range of values that are most influential in political decision
making in Turkey. This paper will examine Turkey’s 12 June 2011 parliamentary elections by
utilizing the data gathered for a TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of

Human who exists in time and location, lived the migration by social movements and obligations in
historical process. The migration started in time with human especially in social life.
Migrations bring people dynamism, enthusiasm, and excitement and also bring and increase ethnicity
awareness. In Social movements occurred by natural, social, economic, changing of forces or cultural
necessity, large amount of population in ethnical structure migrate with destroying current social
structure and try to find identity, try to exist in what opportunities their new locations provide them.
Two kinds of results can be expected in this kind of changing process; assimilating the new orders
cultural features or creating ethnic group to gain social power by owned traditional qualities. We can
say, in generally, to maintain ethnic differences can actually be an advantage to individual or group. It
must be emphasized that migration increases ethnic consciousness, keeps alive solidarity and people
put all their strength to hold on to life. Ethnic identity creates similarities in main culture on the other
hand erosions occurred in ethnic culture gain new dimensions. New identities have some common
parts with old identities but will have differences.
The purpose of the study, taking into account the data from people that have forced migration into
Turkey from Syria, to determine the dynamism, enthusiasm, excitement, ethnic awareness, identity
structure which make up our assumption by using techniques such as interviews. Study will be carried
out by literature monitoring and practice.

Research on idiosyncratic deals: A selective review and synthesis
Severin Hornung
Dr.
Institute of Psychology, University of Innsbruck, Austria
Idiosyncratic deals, commonly referred to as “i-deals”, are an upcoming “hot” topic in organizational
research. I-deals stand for personalized non-standard workplace arrangements negotiated between
individual employees and employer agents, such as supervisors or managers, providing recipients with
extra flexibility in work hours, special job tasks, or development opportunities. A reflection of shifting
paradigms in organizational theory, i-deals cover the middle ground between top-down human
resource practices and bottom-up proactive behavior. In contrast to micro-politics or favoritism, ideals evoke procedural justice and yield advantages for both workers and organizations. The first part
of this contribution will review theorizing on i-deals, including individual negotiation, mutual benefits,
heterogeneity in forms, scope, and composition, as well as distinctness from and intersections with
related concepts. The second part will provide a synthesis of eight empirical studies investigating these
assumptions using survey methods. Studies were conducted within a larger research program the
author was involved in, and integrating results was part of the final program evaluation. The main
focus was on the two broader types of flexibility and development i-deals. Antecedents included
organizational (e.g., work arrangement), individual (e.g., proactivity), and interpersonal (e.g.,
leadership) factors. Outcomes captured individual (e.g., satisfaction) and organizational benefits (e.g.,
performance), as well as mediating processes (e.g., work design). Stated objective was to compile a
meta-model of individualized employee-employer negotiation. Based on this aggregation, the quality
of evidence with regard to different correlates is evaluated according to methodological criteria and
implications for research and practice as well as limitations are derived.

Department of Preschool Education, Marmara University, Istanbul, Turkey
In this research, the teachers' explaining their views on pre-referral process for students at risk was
aimed. Thirty teachers working as classroom teachers in different primary schools in Kocaeli were
participated in this research. The study was implemented by using semi-structured interview which is
one of the qualitative research techniques. According to the research findings, it was concluded that
the classroom teachers had recognised for students at risk owing to the fact that they demonstrate
academic deficiency, have difficulty in socialization and compliance in classroom. It was observed
that most of the teachers had taken advantage of classroom schedules and acquisitions to designate the
students’ knowledge level; and they had also supported those students by performing additional
studies and utilizing classroom schedules convenient with the students’ level. It was resulted that
teachers principally make seating arrangements for students at risk in classroom environment. It was
determined that teachers prefer the way of giving information about the students with special needs to
ensure that they are accepted by other students in the classroom; moreover they prefered warning the
students in the event that the students disrupt the classroom atmosphere. It was also determined that
classroom teachers mainly employ peer teaching and also visualized teaching style in which they
performed dramatization techniques for students at risk. It was concluded that teachers used visualized
materials and technological devices and assign homework below the level of the classroom level for
students at risk.

Renewable Energy Production Potential and Development Relationship: The Case of
Turkey
Turgut Bayramoğlu
Assistant Professor
Bayburt Universty, Economics Deparment, Bayburt, Turkey
The energy sector is one of the fast-changing sectors. Available energy projections and growth and
development aims of countries shows that energy importer countries can be exporter or energy
exporter countries can be importer up to this point in time. Increase in population growth,
industrialization rates, and middle class mania of developing countries with the increasing energy
demands has contributed to this trend. This situation pushes the countries invest the renewable energy
(RE) sources and provide the energy supply security with non-externally dependent energy resource
type. On the other side, to achieve the development objectives of countries the increase of energy
usage is an acceptable fact. As a developing country, Turkey each passing day increases the energy
demand so that increases energy dependency. 58% of the Turkey’s foreign trade deficit is energy
originated and in 2020 this is expected to rise to $80 billion. The share of renewable energy in
electricity production in Turkey is 28%. Therefore, renewable energy has a vital importance in Turkey
in every aspect. These trends shows that importance of RE for Turkey in order to achieve the
development goals by taking Sustainable Development Goals into consideration. Turkey should invest
REs and increase the production of them in order to improve environmental indicators, reduce regional
development disparities, prevent migration to meet its growth targets, and reduce the unemployment
rate. Briefly, in this study the contribution of the usage of the renewable energy and increasing the
production for development is examined in the case of Turkey.

İİBF Trakya Üniversitesi Edirne Türkiye
After WW II. countries are considered as developed, developing and underdeveloped in economic
literature. The most important factors that affect the level of development are the ones that satisfy the
basic needs like education and health. Especially in underdeveloped countries, education and health
are under heavy government intervention because of market failure. Although government
intervention is considered as a solution to market failure, it is accompanied by corruption. Corruption
is an issue that whole world fight against to create a decent society. Corruption not only paves the way
for revenue loss and affects economic growth negatively, but also it decelerates the economic growth.
Sustainable development goals, whose primary objectives are to end poverty, to save the planet and to
ensure well-being for all, is focused on 17 goals. Reducing child and maternal mortality, HIV,
tuberculosis, poliomyelitis are some of the medical goals.
In this study, corruption indicators and sustainable development goals for health will be compared by
using statistical methods. With this comparison, Turkey’s position among neighbouring countries will
be defined and suggestions will be made.

This study seeks to identify the political and economic relations between the Ottoman Empire and the
Republic of Dubrovnik in the 18th century. Aside from other archival documents, the primary sources
of this study are from the Registers of Foreign Affairs (Düvel-i Ecnebiye Defterleri), classified under
the codes A.DVN.DVE.d 19/7 and 20/8 in The Prime Minister’s Ottoman Archives (Başbakanlık
Osmanlı Arşivi: BOA). These registers, dated 1779-1806 and 1788-1806 respectively, are the last
known records that the Ottoman Empire published regarding Ottoman-Dubrovnik relations throughout
history.
Using data from A.DVN.DVE.d 19/7 and 20/8, we aim to shed light on all forms of OttomanDubrovnik relations during the 18th century, and we will determine both the quantitative and
qualitative aspects of said relations. Further on in this study, we will examine how the 18th century is
often perceived as a declining period for Dubrovnik and question this stance in favor of the argument
that Dubrovnik was always a lively port, even in the 18th century, where a plethora of goods and
services were always provided. This period in Dubrovnik’s history remains important to the region’s
fate, and even though it faced periodic troubles throughout its history, Dubrovnik remained a strong
city-state.

Prevention of neuropsychiatric disorders involves early diagnosis and treatment. However, eventhough
for many neuropsychiatric disorders treatment is not possible, early diagnosis help slowing the
processes. In addition, an establishment of a diagnosis allows for the planning of important things for
the family as well as for the patient. Neuropsychological testing is part of the work out that involves
physical examination including neurological assessment for diagnosis, treatment or planning. With a
rapidly growing elderly population in all of the World quick bed side cognitive screening becomes
very important. In current study, a shorter version of 3W3S (Three Words and Three Shapes) test was
administered to the elderly people. 3W3S test was originally constructed by Wientraub and Mesulam

In the period from in the first invasions at 652 to Sicilia island to the year 1091 which the Muslims
completely lost their control of the island, Muslims was provided for the establishment and
continuation of Islamic civilization with the Aghlebids, Fatimids and the Kalbids. But here it should
be noted that the most effective administration is performed by Aghlebid administrators.
The Islamic sovereignty on the island, not only in area of militarily, but in area of Islamic Culture has
shown itself. Civil-cultural structure was supported with scholars and intellectual activities in the
region, also mosques and madrasas in the towns have been quite effective in this subject.
Despite of chronologically earlier, the way of influence of Islamic Culture to West by Andalusia and
Sicily, because of the importance of military and social devastation the Crusades are more often
examined.
Behind the effect of the European reformation and the Renaissance Andalusia and Sicily is too
obvious to be ignored. Particularly from the tenth century this effect on not only science, technology,
management and the fields of culture, but also in social life has shown itself.
In the beginning, the academic effects in the field of astronomy, mathematics, philosophy, medicine,
chemistry, zoology and botany manifests itself in translation of the works of Muslim scholars.
Introducing Arabic numerals to Europe by Leonardo of Pisa for the first time. Again, the university
system of European taken from Muslims and a school of education in Arabic was opened at Geneva in
the 1207
As can be seen from the Arabic word passing Italian, art, clothing, food, agriculture, and managementrelated words, at the same time, shows the area of influence. In addition to its role in the transfer to
Europe of some philosophical works, İdrisi’s geography work to be educated in European universities
for centuries.
The transition of Islamic medicine to Europe are also partly by means of Sicily. Information on
astronomy and astrology to the West, via Sicily were transferred. The paper production in Italy,
however, is achieved by way of Sicily in 1154. Italian art has influenced Islamic Art. Silk weaving and
199
sericulture in addition to related techniques was passed to northern Italy in thirteenth century. Units of
measure that are used in some regions in Italy, is even influenced by Muslims
We will try to illustrate the effects of Islamic civilization to westward from the standpoint of the Sicily

by 5 sections including demographic questions, job satisfaction, work alienation, job performance and
intention to leave job. There are 702 people has accepted to join research. The study has been
conducted in 11 training and research hospitals that serves under Association of Public Hospitals
Northern Anatolian Region of Istanbul. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis has been
used in this study.
Result: 695 questionnaire form was evaluated in this research and majority of respondents are belongs
to the gender group of women (%77,1). Majority of participants are being composed of nurses
(%50,4). In terms of choice of profession willingly, 479 Employees (%68,9) indicate that they have
chosen their job voluntarily and 448 of all staff are satisfied what do they do. According to the logistic
regression results accurate classification rate is %81,4. One unit of increase in job satisfaction causes
%87,6 decrease in work alienation. A unit of increase in intention to leave causes %48,1 increase in
work alienation. If a worker chooses its job willingly work alienation decreases %57,6.
Conclusion: According to the research results work alienation is affected by demographic variables
(choice of profession willingly, manner of work), job satisfaction and intention to leave of workers.
Whereas Job performance, professional time, marital status, managerial status have statistically
significant relationship with work alienation, they couldn’t join the model.

An investigation of cointegration and causality between socio-economic indicators and
female labor force participation in Turkey
Hacer Simay Karaalp-Orhan
Associate Professor
Department of Labor Economics and Industrial Relations, Pamukkale University, Denizli, Turkey
Female labor force participation is an important driver of growth and development. Unlike from male
labor force participation rate female labor force participation rate affected from a wide variety of
economic and social factors. A significant difference between male and female labor force
participation rate is observed in Turkey. While male labor force participation rate is 71.3%, female
labor force participation rate in Turkey is quite low by EU and OECD standards: it was 30.3% percent
in 2014, compared to 51.8% in EU-28 and 51.5% in OECD countries. The aim of this study is to
examine the existence of a causality relationship between female labor force participation and some
socio-economic indicators such as real GDP per capita, total fertility rate, urbanization rate and
education level by using a Granger causality time series analysis over the period 2004-2013. The Data
was obtained from TurkStat. According to the analyses results, a negative relationship is expected to
found between the fertility rate and female labor force participation. Due to the opportunity cost of
child care, women with children have lower participation rates, particularly in urban areas. As a
country develops, economic activity shifts from agriculture to industry which causes the decrease of
labor force participation rate through migration, so urbanization reduce participate rate. Female labor
force participation follows an U‐shaped trend over the course of economic development. Moreover a
positive causality relationship is expected to found between female labor force participation and
education level. High education encourages women to join the labor force.

An Evaluation About Dynamics of The Global Economic Crises
Ufuk Selen
Associate Professor
Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey
The purpose of this study is to make assessments about the dynamics of the global economic crisis and
to draw attention to the global economic crisis arising from capitalist accumulation model. Essentially,
economic crisis is an indicator that the current capital accumulation model has lost its function and the
need for a new model of accumulation has emerged. The economic crises that led to the emergence of
a new accumulation model and the bankruptcy of the accumulation model occur in 5 gradual process.
These can be systematized as; the establishment of accumulation model that will allow to increase the
marginal productivity of capital, the reduction of the marginal productivity of capital, the quest for
new sources of profit and orientation speculation, resetting the marginal profit ratio due to
accumulation model and reaching the natural limits of speculative profits. The economic crises
depending on the working cycle ‘’money - commodity – money’’, and based on the theoretical
justification, embodied in the bankruptcy of the capitalist accumulation model prepare the ground for
the transition to a new model of accumulation.
Each accumulation model is built to keep the marginal efficiency of capital at the highest level. As the
capital accumulation level increases, the accumulation model loses to the law of diminishing returns
and marginal return on capital is decreasing over time. Focusing on the profit-maximizing capital is
gain speculative character in order to improve the declining productivity. Speculative profit seeking
leads to the disappearance of the relationship between the real and financial sectors and the money the goods - money cycle, on which the accumulation models are based, is broken. In this case, the
search process for the establishment of a new cycle model is being experienced as an economic crisis.
Each global economic crisis took place in this systematic. Although it is the full unformed, it can be
said that has been the established of a new global accumulation model based on public economy after
2008 global economic crisis.

Rewriting the Income Tax Law with ‘Zipper Procedure’: EU Applications and
Evaluation for Turkey
Adnan Gercek
Professor
Department of Tax Law, Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey
Income Tax Act in Turkey, has become unjust, complex and inefficient law. Therefore, reform in
income tax was needed, and the new draft legislation was prepared as a single tax act, combining
Income Tax Act and Corporate Tax Act. But, the new draft legislation is not more clear and simple
than old one. Because, the new draft legislation was formed with “zipper procedure” by combining
same articles of these two acts.
Income and Corporate Tax Act were legislated separated from each other in sixteen member states of
European Union. These two acts were legislated as a single act, consists separated chapters ın eight
member states of EU. Only in four member states of EU, these two acts were legislated as a single act.
For example, in the UK, natural and legal person’s ıncome were organized in the same tax law, with
Income and Corporate Tax Act 1998. But after approximately 10 years of practice in due cause
confusion, Income Tax Act and Corporate Tax Act were enacted separated from each other.
It isn’t true to combine Income Tax Act and Corporate Tax Act in a single act. Because income tax has
progressive rate and subjective character, but corporate tax has flat-rate and objective character.
Therefore, it does not bring any simplicity writing these two acts intertwined with “zipper procedure”.
Income tax and corporate tax should not be combined in new draft legislation. Alternatively, income
and corporate tax can be written in separated chapters in new act. This systematic, will be more proper
for easier understanding and implementing of the taxes with different characteristics.

Women’s Organizing in Turkey: Preventative role of Turkey’s Kurdish Women in
Conflict Escalation
Fatih Cicek
Master Student
Department of Public Administration, Manisa Celal Bayar University, Manisa, Turkey
Turkey has been in conflict with one of the oldest ethnic groups in the Middle East, the Kurds. This
long-lasting conflict has generated vital circumstances for both of the parties starting from human
casualties to financial loss, to deep social fragmentation and social costs. However, as is in all wars
and armed conflicts, women suffer the most as widows with children. Kurdish women are not only
victims of an ethnic conflict but also suffer from the very low status given them by the patriarchic
society they live in. Owing to traditional and cultural structures of different communities, women in
Turkey have been perceived by state and men as only mother and wife and their organizing as a threat.
Hence, Kurdish women have to deal with patriarchy and ethnic conflict at the same time. This state of
being of Kurdish women lead them to get organized and to seek the ways to ease the suffering they get
both from patriarchy and consequences of the armed conflict. Focus of this paper is to examine where
women stand in Turkish-Kurdish conflict and what is their role in conflict prevention, to seek the
motivations behind Kurdish women’s organizing and their political and social mobilization starting
from 1980s up to today and to examine women initiatives, their organizing and involvement with
politics in order to prevent and/or get rid of the situation they are in.

Understanding of the Revolutions in British Political Thought in the Eighteenth-Century

Department of Political Science and Public Administration, Yildirim Beyazit University, Ankara,
Turkey
In the late 18th century, the British Empire had struggled from two different revolutions occurring in
America and France. In order to avoid from the possible negative effects of these revolutions, the
Empire made efforts in both politics and wars. The first revolution occurred in America in the second
half of the 18th century and continued as an independence war against the Empire. The second
revolution took place in France in 1789 as an internal issue in terms of its social and political
dynamics. In other saying, the 18th century came with two significant revolutions and the British
Empire was related with both of them as the main player. The efforts that made by the British Empire
actually focused not only on politics and wars but also on the philosophy. The British philosophers,
either stood by their country by theorizing the British conservatism or defended France with the idea
of revolution, had significant roles to shape modern politics. There is no doubt that Edmund Burke and
Thomas Paine were the main characters of this philosophical struggle in terms of their ideas during the
process. While Edmund Burke was defending the British Empire with his idea of conservatism,
Thomas Paine was standing by France as a revolutionist. This paper examines the differences of the
ideas of the Edmund Burke and Thomas Paine on revolution, human rights and the form and nature of
government.

Traditional arts are unique arts of a nation. For this reason, it belongs to the cultural heritage of the
communities in which filtered, synthesized and transferred from one generation to the other by the
master-apprentice relationship. It is a unique communication tool that is the reflection of the social
life, traditions and customs of the community and convey its tastes, beliefs and thoughts by the most
concise and immortal phrases at the same time. Decorative arts have also been born and survived its
developing in this sense. This source of motifs in this art, their development and changes recorded in
the process of history, usage patterns, their stylization and meanings they carry in a composition are of
great importance. Turkish tile art is also one of the areas that makes up the most beautiful examples of
Turkish decorative arts. Anatolian Turkish tile art revealed unique examples by synthesizing the
effects taken from different culture environments. Some motifs and patterns used in tile were loaded
some symbolic meanings with their stylized forms in this process. In this study, it will be focused on
the symbolic meaning of certain motifs used in the Turkish tile art and give a place to some symbolic
expressions attributed to some classic Iznik tile patterns.

The union of the «Two Cultures». For a new historical-social research program
Andrea Lo Bianco
PhD Student
Dep. of Political Science, "La Sapienza" University, Rome, Italy
The subject matter of discussion I propose is made up of two interrelated themes. The first one cuts the
entire proposal transversely and it would be a call for tearing down the disciplinary barriers among
social sciences, rethinking their division of work and knowledge. More than a century ago Durkheim
foresaw that «science, carved up into a host of detailed studies that have no link with one another, no
longer forms a solid whole» (The Division of Labor 1984: 294). The ever-increased thrust towards a
sterile technicality has brought about his thought. The discussion will be permeated by the
nomothetic/ideographic problematic and the so called «two cultures» in order to stress how stifling is
the compartmentalization of knowledge for our comprehension of the world and its overall dynamic.
The second theme arises from my firm belief to uphold what I would call a convergence between the
two cultures, the Historical Sociology. It is a powerful instrument of inquiry but disregarded and
neglected. By means of a brief explication of my idea of historical, holistic, compared and integrated
social science, the discussion would show a clear image of the Historical sociology’s nature, stressing
its own becoming the «interscience» of braudellian mémoire. The entire analysis aims at highlighting
the relevance of a «science of complexity» structured on the assumption of the irreducibility of the
complexity of human reality and endeavor. Thus, this proposal would be a call for a «Sociological
Imagination» for the Twenty-first century, an intellectual challenge and a collective responsibility.

Human resources of any society is decisive and effective factor in the investment of physical and
natural available resources and, of course, the lack of effectiveness of these human resources, along
with some other factors, makes the investment community for its natural resources more expensive
and less productive, which leads to a slow growth rate and development .And the reality of women in
any society is effectively a benchmark for judging the degree of real growth for this community and
his accession.
And especially to the reality of women in any society is effectively a benchmark for judging the
degree of growth of the truth and his rise, borders are offering this community are the same as the
degree of advancement of women which came near the man and the ascent is closely linked with the
advancement of women, they can not actually apply in isolation from women, where there is a failure
women's share in it is the largest and the least fortunate of the opportunities fortunes progress is
measured not only sharply higher, but a large degree bottom out.
It is clear that the result of the participation of women is not just to generate income for women, but
also bring social benefits are the result of women's empowerment and independence, and that the
participation of women in the forces factor affecting social change.
Given that sustainable development will not be realized until the face of prejudice and discrimination
against women, and this distinction is clear from the inequality in the distribution of resources and
thus lead to the exclusion of women from development programs.
Women is one of the social groups that are still demanding the application of the rights guaranteed by
its laws and legislations and international and local constitutions and relate mostly to remove various
forms of qualitative differentiation and enable them to participate in public life.

Is Family Life Cycle Affecting Behavioral Biases? An Analysis on Active Investors as
Consumers of Stocks
Funda Bayrakdaroğlu, Hüseyin Sarıkaya
Department of Business Administration, Muğla Sıtkı Koçman University, Turkey
It seems that interdisciplinary studies have brought novel perspectives to the field of finance
concerning behavioral finance. The contribution of marketing- in particular consumer behavior- to this
point of view is remarkable. How the factors, which are considered in consumer behavior, affecting
the destination preferences of visitors for holiday make the same sense as for investors. Moreover, the
effect of psychological biases on the choices of investors that are affirmed by various studies in the
literature is worth to examine. The relevant biases- also called “heuristic”- are representativeness,
availability, adjustment and anchoring, over optimism, over confidence, herd effect and regret
aversion heuristics. Starting from this point, the aim of the study is to analyze whether Family Life
Cycle (FLC), which is a considerable factor in consumer behavior, has any effect on the psychological
biases of investors regarding their investment decisions. In line with this purpose, a face-to-face
questionnaire was employed through 148 individual investors. According to the findings of the study,
there is significant relation between Family Life Cycle of investors and their representativeness, over
confidence, over optimism and herd effect heuristics.

Thank You for Oversharing! Re-thinking Privacy and Publicity in the Era of Big Data.
Vera D'Antonio
PhD Student
Via Salaria 113, 00198, Roma (Italy)
Part of a larger PhD thesis, this contribution discusses the emerging concerns about privacy and the
release of personal information on social network sites (SNSs). With increasing frequency and with
particular impact on the youngest age brackets of the population, people share intimate moments and
details of their personal and private lives on on SNSs. As social media usage permeates people’s lives,
an increasing portion of their daily behaviour leaves digital traces online. Institutions, businesses and
even single citizens get to know more about people through the information that the latter – more or
less consciously – render public and available on the Web. Privacy online today is, more than ever, the
object of a dynamic interdisciplinary debate involving Social Sciences, Psychology, Law, Philosophy,
Computer Science, in particular concerning government surveillance and personal data management.
What is at the center of this debate, however, is the way we not only conceive, but also problematise
the theme of privacy since the rise of the Internet and, in particular, in the "Big Data Era," a period
characterized by the most massive production and sharing of data that mankind has ever witnessed.
This research aims to understand the youth culture in connection with the use of Facebook and privacy
concerns. In particular, the attention is placed on how teens use the social media affordances and the
resources that Facebook makes available to them to protect their personal data and life or, on the
contrary, oversharing on Facebook their innermost thoughts, and why.

The Initial Steps Towards The Strong Curriculum. The Research On Turkish/Russian
Translation BA Programs In Turkey
Nilufer Denissova, Hulya Arslan
Department of Russian Language and Literature, Anadolu University, Eskisehir, Turkey
This paper reports the results of the research of 5 BA programs in Turkish/Russian Translation (TRTBA) in Turkey. The main objectives of the study are to perform the descriptive-comparative analysis
of the empirical data, to identify the major problems and to offer the possible solutions. This research
is the preparatory stage of the project on the in-service training design for the teaching staff of the
departments in question. In this context, all 10 of TRT-BA programs of the country (5 of them
currently inactive) were investigated. Empirical data includes the curricula, the syllabi, the academic
staff CV's and the interviews with the Heads of the departments. These statistics were compared with
the similar programs of the CUITI member universities, such as Hacettepe (Turkey), Moscow State
University (Russia), Université de Montréal (Canada), Heriot-Watt University (Great Britain), etc. The
body of the empirical data was construed in the light of the various studies on translation competence,
curriculum design and translation teaching practices (Dollerup & Lindegaard 1992; Kiraly 1995, 2000;
Schäffner 2000; Colina 2003; Pym 2003; Kelly 2005; Nord 2005; Albir 2007; Calvo 2011, etc.) The
shortage of the academic staff with the postgraduate degree in Translation Studies was identified as the
fundamental problem of the current period. To overcome the difficulty in the shortest possible time,
two solutions are offered: 1- To design the in-service training program for the actively working
teaching staff; 2- To include the elective courses on translation theory, history and practices into the
curriculum of the Russian Philology programs.

Diversities became the focus point of companies at the end of the 1990s with such factors as changes
in competition and economy with the globalization process, changes in the demographic structure of
labor, legal arrangements etc., and it has been acknowledged as a case of 21st century which is
required to be managed both internally and externally. Especially the companies with diversity of
labor have begun to regard this as a means for competition. Diversity management, encompases a
number of subjects such as age, gender, marital and social status, disability, sexual orientation,
religion, personality, ethnicity and culture on the basis of categorizations as primary and secondary
diversities, visible and invisible diversities, diversities on the superficial levels and profound levels
especially among the international companies and positioned among the strategies and policies of
human resources. This study looks for an answer to the question of “Do the defined practices of any
international business on the issue of diversity management according to its diversity management
strategies and policies vary across countries? / What kind of differences is at stake between the
international and local practices?” Accordingly, integrated and operational practices on the issue of
diversity management are defined by examining the diversity management practices defined by an
international company which integrated the strategies and policies of human resources, and diversity
management practices in Turkey as a case study.

A DISCUSSION ON NORMAL SCIENCE AND INCOMMENSURABILITY THESES
BETWEEN PARADIGMS
Ahmet EYİM
Assistant Professor
Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi Felsefe Bölümü Van Türkiye
In this study a comparison between the incommensurability theses of Thomas S. Kuhn and Paul
Feyerabend who are two remarkable philosophers in philosophy of science will be made. As it is
known, in his Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Kuhn mentions normal science which starts with the
period of the scientific community to reach a consensus on a paradigm. As a result of activities in
normal science, anomalies appear and these anomalies results in crisis in science. With the period of
crisis, rival theories revealed. Kuhn proposes that these rival theories (or paradigms) are
incommensurable.
Like Kuhn, Feyerabend also concerns with the concept of incommensurability. Feyerabend uses this
concept differently in the sense that Kuhn uses. Feyerabend’s incommensurability thesis does not
imply that the two rival theory cannot be comparable. Feyerabend argues that there must be a rival
theory even if scientific community is sure that their paradigm is true and they believe in that they are
right to stick to it. New paradigms have to be supported by scientists and the resulting problems must
be solved by using these paradigms. In Kuhn’s understanding of paradigm and scientific activity, there
is only one single paradigm in normal science, however Feyerabend argues that multiple paradigms
can exits at the same time. This study aims at comparing Kuhn’s and Feyerabend’s
incommensurability thesis and discussing the problems in which the incommensurability thesis results.

The purpose of being obliged to pay taxes according to everyone's financial resources is to be
obligated to pay tax with individual’s social, economic and financial causes and it is necessary to
make according to financial resources. On the other hand, in Turkey, the tax burden on wage earners,
especially the minimum wage is very high. Large portion of the income tax is paid by wage earners
and the vast majority of the income tax payers are composed of wage earners. The tax burden on poor
and fixed incomes doesn’t secure the justice in taxation and tax burden on them encourages shadow
employment. Although minimum living allowance application is a little bit reduce the tax burden on
minimum wage, minimum wages are inadequate to meet the vital needs of the people.
The cost of the minimum wage on employer is also had a separate burden. The excess of the tax
burden leads to high labour costs and it leads to unemployment and economic inequality in Turkey, as
in many countries.
Therefore, administration's basic task is to create a fair tax system, with minimum wage. In our study,
minimum wage will be determined the tax burden, the cost to employers, compared of Turkey and
many other countries, the effects of the application will be examined and the increase of minimum
living standard will be brought solutions.

CROWDSOURCING ARTWORKS - THE POWER OF DIGITAL COLLECTIVE
CREATIVITY
Francesca Moretti
PhD Student
Coris, Sapienza - Università di Roma, Via Salaria 113, Rome, Italy
Nowadays, in the era of Web 2.0 where culture is influenced by multiple forms of digital participation,
we are witnessing a general alteration in how we conceptualize the creative process.
From the beginning of the XX century a paradigmatic shift has taken place: often artworks were the
result of cooperation between an artist and his spectators. Thus the line between these two once
separated worlds has become increasingly blurred.
Over the last decades avant-garde art has been strongly charmed by the power of crowd insights,
however only with the advent of the Internet this relationship has evolved effectively. Whereas before
the introduction of the web collective artworks were tied to a physical space, now with on-line
crowdsourcing there is a complete despatialization both in the creation and in the fruition moment.
Furthermore it is now possible to connect on a global scale with the creativity of a multitude of people
with different cultural backgrounds, producing a form of art fully mediated by technology.
Consequently this new type of product has the potential of broaden the boarders of the contemporary
art audience, engaging not only niches already highly alphabetize with this elitist world.
Unfortunately the literature on this theme is scarce even though this new form of art is increasing in
popularity. Therefore the paper aim will be to analyze not just the aesthetic implication of these hybrid
cultural products, but also the consequence of digital collective creativity by leading an empirical
study on three of the most celebrated on-line crowdsourced artworks.

Buca, İzmir, Turkey
Sometimes for dealing with poverty and income inequality as a social state, sometimes for establishing
command economy by publicly owned production as a communist state and sometimes leaving the
economy alone to recover on its own as a regulatory state, governments' role has always existed in
economic life. Such these roles of governments in economy, in other words, the level of the state
intervention in economy differentiate the combination of public revenue and expenditure severely.
In order to finance increased public expenditures governments borrow when tax income is insufficient.
Especially, after the idea of “ the task of the government is not do previous duties or make them better,
but do what has not done yet” becoming popular with Keynes and his followers’ accepting borrowing
as ordinary public revenue have caused high public debt burden. As a result, Keynes and his
followers’ advocacy of the state intervention forced them to accept public debt as an ordinary revenue.
In this study debt burden on future generations have been discussed rather than requirement of the
debt. Borrowing made by governments has impact whether on current generation or future generations
will be discussed by the views of economic schools. On the other hands, it will be focus on what
should be understood from definition of future generation and differing effects of internal debt and
external debt. Because it is observed that the lack of consensus on the some consepts is an important
of the debate on the issue

Families and Schools Together in a Multicultural Society. Identification of good
practices for the social integration of immigrant families, starting from the school
context
Alessia Bartolini
Assistant Professor
Department of Philosophy, Social and Human Sciences and Education , University of Perugia, Italy
Families and schools can find their meeting point in education and education may be the ground for
family-schoolrelationship design and organization, using the logic of cooperation and joint
responsibility. The presence of parents within the school has, as a matter of fact, positive implications
in terms of learning, personal growth and social development of children; furthermore, it represents a
valuable opportunity both for the families and for the schools.
For these reasons, the participation of foreign parents should as well be encouraged and supported, as
a new educational challenge. The school may, in fact, become a place of meeting and lively exchange
between the families, an active laboratory of shared values, able to break down the barrier of cultural
bias, thus encouraging social integration.
The research project Fa.C.Im (Immigrant families in the city), made in a
Municipality of Umbria, relates to the identification of good practices for the social integration of
immigrant families. The research examined the ways in which immigrant families benefit from the
services that can facilitate their integration into society and also analyzed the importance of the
parental presence in primary school in order to identify practices able to promote their participation in
the integration process. The research was conducted in two complementary directions: on families
with questionnaires translated in English, French, Arabic and Chinese language and on teachers with
focus groups. The research experience with parents and teachers made possible the creation of new
educational and family needs platform, as a premise for the definition of good integration practices.

Architecture, 59030, Tekirdag, Turkey.
At the present time, as the green areas diminish, cemeteries are biotopes gaining importance especially
in urban areas because of their dense vegetation. These areas drop high temperature in the cities with
their microclimatic effects, and thus, enhance the climate. They absorb air, dust, and noise and in this
way contribute preventing environmental issues. Providing a habitat for different floras and faunas and
together with their biological and ecological specifications, cemeteries also serve the citizens
versatility by affecting their psychological state positively with the relaxing influence of its plantal
potential.
In this study, it is aimed to examine the situation of ornament plants in cemeteries across Tekirdag and
to reveal the importance of these areas within urban greenery. In this context, periodical field studies
are conducted in 3 cemeteries of the city between 2015 and 2016. Ornamental plants are photographed
and species are identified and evaluated in regard to their suitability and adaptability to the area.
Moreover, the structural uses in the area and the current condition and sufficiency of the equipment are
examined. Thus, the current condition of the cemeteries, which have an active role in linking the
greenery in the city and the neighborhood, will be presented and planning will be done in the light of
ecological and technical criteria.

The quality of the local services produced and provided by municipalities plays a role in the
development of the social structure on the one hand and contributes to the effective use of resources on
the other hand. In other words, providing quality services helps the public become aware of the
concept of “quality”, and it also prevents re-using the resources for the same service with high
standard production, which makes it possible to make use of the resources in different fields. The
contribution of the locals emerges an important factor in rendering quality services as well as the
administrations’. The participation of the public in evaluating the quality of the services that
administrations provide will play an important role in more effective use of resources. This will
improve as the public participates more in the process of producing and providing services. Requests
and complaints about the services financed by citizens and presented by administrations will lead
municipalities to rendering more quality services. In this study, a survey was carried out to find out the
perception level of the people living in Bursa about the quality of the services presented by the
municipalities in Bursa. The results of the survey were analyzed in terms of the perception of quality
and presenting quality services.

Unintended Consequences and the Objective Meaning of Social Action. Notes on the
“Indeterminacy in the past” debate.
Lorenzo Sabetta
PhD Student
Department of Communication and Social Research, Sapienza - University of Rome, Rome, Italy
Over the last fifteen years, mainly on the pages of «History of the Human Sciences», it has developed
a lively debate focused on some insights of Ian Hacking concerning action theory, variously
challenged or defended by a number of scholars belonging to heterogeneous disciplinary field (Fuller,
Leudar, McMillan, Roth and Sharrock among others). Social scientists – this is the controversial
Hacking’s idea – would be able to change the past, insofar as they present past actions under new
descriptions. In fact, if a description of this kind did not exist at an earlier time, at that time one could
not act intentionally under that description: the meaning of previous courses of actions, then, would
change following the later, scientific, interpretation. In summary, we can not only change our
understanding of the past, but through changing that understanding we are retrospectively altering the
past itself. Starting from the Hacking’s hypotheses and the interest that they have aroused, the present
paper attempts to highlight the importance of unintended consequences of human action in the debate
at hand. Although they have been neglected in this context, it seems that the unforeseen effects of
social action are the crucial element in order to furnish a correct understanding of the debate itself.
Based on an heterodox interpretation of mertonian concept of latent function, the goal is to show the
link between indeterminacy of social action and its objective meaning, as well as the relevance of this
link for the construction of sociological theories.

A Psychoanalytic Analysis of Joan Riley’s The Unbelonging
İBRAHİM AKKUŞ
Instructor
Yabancı Diller Yüksekokulu Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Dokuz Çeşmeler Kamp. Buca, İzmir, Türkiye
The purpose of this psychoanalytic analysis of Joan Riley’s The Unbelonging is to examine the
emergence of the protagonist Hyacinth’s identity through the rejection of destructive entitlement and
the abandonment of narcissism. Although people around Hyacinth—in particular, her father and the
white Britons whom she first encounters at school—depend on destructive entitlement as a way of
managing their egos in the wake of traumatic change, she is herself too weak and unformed to respond
to change except by retreating into herself through the exercise of narcissistic nostalgia. However,
through the formation of relationships with other black people (especially Perlene) and the emergence
of a political conscious (especially in the wake of Dr. Rodney’s speech), Hyacinth is able to transcend
the psychic short-cuts of destructive entitlement and narcissism in favour of a self-sustaining hybrid
identity of the kind discussed extensively by Paul Gilroy. Hyacinth begins to understand how to weave
together and perform Jamaican-ness, Englishness, blackness, and African-ness in ways that allow her
to manage the pains, and exploit the benefits, of post-colonial displacement and rootlessness. Although
it takes a great deal of time and psychic suffering for Hyacinth to begin to develop a hybrid nature, and
although Hyacinth’s skills at performativity remain inchoate, The Unbelonging is still highly
instructive in its depiction of the various psychic options available to black people brought into contact
with hostile white culture.

Yakup KOC
Assistant Professor
Faculty of Education, Erzincan University, Erzincan, Turkey
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between high school students’ physical
education course sportsmanship behaviors and their patience levels.
The sample of study involves a total of 702 students (376 female, 326 male) from public high schools
within the Erzincan province who were selected randomly in 2015-2016 academic year. A survey, the
Physical Education Course Sportspersonship Behavior Scale (Koç, 2013) and the Patience Scale
(Doğan&Gülmez, 2014) were implemented and the students were asked questions with regard to their
grades, genders, the type of sports to which they interested in most during physical education courses
and whether they took part in school teams. The validity and reliability of scales were studied.
The students’ scores based on the scales were analyzed by independent variables. The data with
normal distribution were analyzed using One Way ANOVA and t-Test. Correlations (Pearson) were
used for relationships among scales. Data were evaluated using SPSS 22 and LISREL 8.7 programs.
Sportsmanship and patience levels of the students by their grades did not manifest a significant
difference (p>.05) whereas sportsmanship levels were observed to be significantly higher for females
and patience levels were significantly higher for males (p<.05). Some dimensions of the scales were
observed to significantly differentiate depending on the type of sports to which they interested in most
during physical education courses and whether they took part in school teams or not (p<.05).
Furthermore, a positive significant relationship was observed between physical education course
sportsmanship behaviors and patience levels of the students (r=.38).
These results are recommended to be taken into consideration for sportsmanship applications to be
planned for physical education courses and activities that improve patience are recommended to be
adapted to physical education programs.

Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli University, School of Foreign Languages, Nevsehir, Turkey
The purpose of this study is to explore the perceptions of ELT instructors working at a higher
education institution in Turkey regarding integrating global citizenship education into ELT
classrooms. The research has been designed in accordance with phenomenological approach, which is
one of the qualitative research methods. Data was collected through the interview method and a semistructured interview form has been used as the data collection tool. Data was analysed by using
content analysis technique and 12 ELT instructors have voluntarily participated in this study. Findings
have revealed that participants mostly focus on the “value” dimension of global citizenship such as
respecting diversities, human rights, gender equity and sensitivity to global issues. The participants
have also reported that the ELT curricula don’t help to raise students as global citizens and citizenship
of dominant cultures are highlighted in ELT course books. The instructors have defined their roles and
responsibilities in preparing students as global citizens as being a role model and increasing students'
awareness of both national and global citizenship. While it has been found out that no specific practice
is implemented by most of the participants, discussion activities regarding global issues are conducted
by very few instructors to promote global citizenship. Predominantly grammar-based teaching and
student unwillingness have been found as challenges in preparing students to become global citizens.
As a result, it has been concluded that ELT instructors have insufficient levels of knowledge, skills,
attitude and action related with global citizenship.

ULUDAG UNİVERSITY HARMANCIK VOCATIONAL SCHOOL
Timely and planned local tax collection, which constitutes an important place in municipal revenues,
is significant in order for local public goods and services to be offered in optimum way. Therefore, it
is necessary for citizens as taxpayers to have a high-level tax awareness. Awareness level of citizens
about local taxes seem to affect their behaviours in this regard.
Looking on a general perspective, there are two main factors that influence local tax awareness:
economic and social. After theoretical information on aforementioned factors were provided in this
study, Bursa citizens’ perceptions on local taxes were measured through using a questionnaire. The
questionnaire consists of five point Likert scale along with various questions of descriptive nature and
relevance. The questionnaire analysis was carried out through SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social
Sciences). In this procedure, frequency distribution regarding descriptive information of participants
was included first. Second, awareness level of citizens about local taxes was analysed using various
questions. In the third part of the analysis, local tax awareness with respect to descriptive information
of participants was measured by means of Anova test.
In conclusion, this study revealed that Bursa citizens had an average level of knowledge on local taxes;
that tax payment culture should be improved; that tax amnesty harms this culture; and that there are
significant differences among the groups with regard to answers given in statements about the fact that
tax payment is a sacred duty. Encompassing these differences, it is suggested that policies on groups,
where local tax awareness should be improved, be included; that tax payment culture be formed; and
that local tax realisations be increased accordingly.

FINANCIAL TRANSACTION TAXES AND EUROPEAN UNION IN THE LIGHT OF
COUNTRY EXPERIENCES
Semih Sen
Instructor
Department of Public Finance, Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey
The 2008 global financial crisis in the United States of America, and European debt crisis later on and
the destruction caused by this crisis on the public finance of the countries have urged the financial
transaction taxes attract global attention. In this regard, European Commission took a concrete step
and suggested a financial transaction tax to be applied at the European Union level. Financial
transaction taxes are the low rate, ad valorem basis taxes which are applied to the purchase and/or sale
of the financial instruments. The theoretical objectives of the tax are to reduce the short-term
speculative transaction volume in the financial markets and to reduce the volatility and to provide
income to the state thereof. Furthermore, contributing to the financing of the global public goods and
to establish fairness in taxation comes among the other objectives.
Financial transaction taxes have previously been applied and are still being applied by different
countries. This paper investigates the experiences of Sweden and the United Kingdom. Because, it is
considered that these experiences involve some concrete lessons from which we can learn regarding
the current applications and the next ones.
Financial transaction taxes got into the agenda of the European Union also after the suggestion of the
European Commission. This paper will investigate whether the financial transaction taxes, put on the
agenda of the European Union following the global crisis, are useful or not based on their previously
stated theoretical objectives.

TURKEY
In this study, the relation between R&D and economic growth in defense sector will be discussed. The
effect of technology on economic growth has been discussed since Schumpeter (1911). Endogenous
growth theories in 1990’s argue that R&D activities are the key component for higher economic
growth rates. However, results on the literature on growth- R&D relation conflict each other. Some
studies argue that there is a positive relation between R&D and growth, however some others provide
results that show negative relation (or no relation). This subject is especially important for high-tech
industries that have the highest R&D expenditure shares. Literature on the relation between R&D and
economic growth in defense industries, which is one of the high-tech industries, also provide
contradicting results. This study will carefully analyze the previous literature on this issue and try to
identify the reasons behind these contradictions.

The Success of Tax Policy Precautions in Turkey Against Global Economic Crisis
Caglayan TABAR
Instructor
Uludag University
An economic crisis is the occurrence of incidents suddenly and unexpectedly in an economy which
affects the economy in a negative way. One policy applied to minimize such negative impacts is the
tax policy. The objective of this study is to analyze the tax policy precautions taken in Turkey at the
time for reducing the negative impacts of the global economic crisis on Turkey’s economy and to
decide whether such precautions have been successful.
The Global Crisis having emerged in the USA in 2008 due to the troubles in the household credit
market has mainly affected Turkey with regards to foreign trade, credit, and reliability aspects, caused
to recession in the economy and therefore caused a real crisis and failure of economic indicators in the
country.
Firstly, the monetary policy measures were taken in Turkey against the crisis, however when these
measures became insufficient, fiscal policies, predominantly the tax policy, were brought about. The
main reason behind it is the lack of resource due to the reductions in tax incomes. Therefore the
initiatives were applied as a tax deduction instead of public expenditures. A significant part of the tax
deductions were enforced to expense taxes (VAT and Special Consumption Tax). These deductions
were taken for automotive, white goods, furniture, construction sectors, the most susceptible ones, and
it was aimed to revive the relevant sectors. It was observed that the production and sale figures of
these sectors increased during the period of tax deductions.

Education Faculty about respect for diversity. In the 21st century when different cultures can live
together, individuals must be educated for social development and ensuring a livable community in a
way of being sensitive to differences. Therefore, we need education to raise awareness about
differences and help individuals become sensitive to different cultures. In the recent studies, it was
emphasized that it is significant to educate prospective teachers being sensitive to cultural differences.
It is an undeniable fact that teachers can face students with different cultural characteristics in a
multicultural social structure. For this reason, it is essential to design a multicultural education and
training planning from teaching instruction to teacher training. Scanning method of quantitative
research designs was used in this study. This study was conducted with 356 prospective teachers who
are chosen by appropriate sampling and studying at different departments of Education Faculty of

their condition. Those patients placed on hemodialysis, like many other chronically ill individuals
have to adjust to their daily life and have to find way to improve their quality of life level.
OBJECTIVE; the purpose of this study was to examine the Quality of Life in patients with End-Stage
Renal Disease(ESRD) on hemodialysis. METHODS; Cross-sectional study with data collection by
convenience sampling, through the application of KDQOL SF-36 Inventory which was adapted to
Turkish population by Koçyiğit and socioeconomic scale and adherence to treatment questionnaire.
The sample was 142 adult patients of two private clinics in Adana, Turkey. All of the hemodialysis
patients were willing to take the Inventory was included in the sample. SAMPLE; gender
characteristics: 96 males and 46 females having an average of 58 with 14.35 SD. RESULTS; The
physical function, physical role, pain, general health, vitality, social function, emotional role subscale
scores of KDQOL SF-36 was higher for male patients, for those with higher education and with less
number of children and who use internet more frequently. For the mental health subscale, females, less

Linguistic Field: A Cognitive Hypothesis for Language Perception
Laura Di Ferrante, Sergio Pizziconi
Department of Communication and Social Research
In 1980s in Italy, the configuration of prejudice distributed hierarchically standard Italian, regional
varieties, and dialects (Baroni 1983; Galli de’ Paratesi 1984; Volkart Rey 1990); in 2007 a research
carried out in Italy (Di Ferrante 2008) using matched guise technique (Lambert et alii 1960) revealed
that there is a difference in the intensity of prejudice toward different varieties of Italian, both regional
and foreign. These same results emerged from a survey carried out in the Italian-Swiss community in
Switzerland as a replication of the Italian research (Catricalà & Di Ferrante 2011).
Drawing on Kurt Lewin’s “theory of fields”, our hypothesis is that the same type of differences should
emerge when verbal languages are involved. When processing linguistic environment, individuals will
refer to perceptual schemes that can be more or less finely tuned, in the first place, in relation to the
linguistic varieties each individual declares to master or to be acquainted with. The differences in the
configuration of the perceptual field are regarded as a relevant variable in a series of linguistic and
sociolinguistic functions. As a first test of the hypothesis, we have compared the results of the two
studies carried out in Italy and in Switzerland about the perception of varieties of Italian. Both the
studies used matched guise technique on more than 400 subjects. The hypothesis of the linguistic field
proved to be able to account for the variation in linguistic prejudice and attitudes.

COMPARATIVE DESCRIPTION OF THE IDEOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS OF ART
FROM THE BEGINNING TO END OF NINETEENTH CENTURY
Nuray Gumustekin
Associate Professor
Faculty of Fine Arts, Graphic Department, Balikesir University, Balikesir, Turkey
Art is an activity which presents a different world-view, whose aim is to obtain a material
transforming it and to position an objective into it. Art is a social matter of fact and artist is an
insurgent person. To Plato, artists are those who give birth to a new reality. The things, which are just
thought by most people, get molded and put into words by the artists. As Mc Luhan’s saying goes,
artists are “dews” of the morning, they give us a distant, early warning which comes over our culture.
Art is the reality of the community. Artist is essential for the comunity and warning the artist for not
forgetting his social assignment is the right of the community as well. An artist with full of thoughts
and livings of his age does not only put reality into words, but also pursues the goal of forming it. In a
decaying society, art has to also reflect the decaying, and so long as it does not blow off, it should
indicate that the world can change and should help it change.
One of the steady characteristics of the important periods of the art is that there is no contradiction
between the improvement of the creative powers with the thoughts of the administrative class or rising
revolutionist class and the common benefit of the society. In such balanced periods, there is the belief
that a new, compatible union will soon come true and that the advantages of one class means the
advantages of all. And artist is a messenger for this system.
After designating notions of the art and the artist, what is aimed with this research is to describe the
ideological functions of the Western and Ottoman Plastic Art comparatively by designating what is
intellectual for both sides.

Managing the Crisis Communication in Today's World Replete with Crises
Ali Murat Vural
Professor
Istanbul University, Communication Faculty, Beyazit. Istanbul
The rapid change, diversification, wide spreading, accessibility and cheapness experienced in
communication technology and consequently developing communication instruments now require the
paradigm shift in managing the crisis and crisis communication as in many issues. The changing
means and methods of communication have also changed people's social environments, understanding,
and forms of socialization. The ways of sharing an opinion, conviction, experience and speculation
regarding any issue are now realized very rapidly, in an extremely manipulative manner and with a
devastating feeling. Besides, the competition and stakeholder relations and the business and relation
environments show an impatient, unstable and aggressive approach towards the smallest negativity,
probably, because of the feeling caused by the conditions of the age in which we live.
Nevertheless, the management and communication of crises definitely require being addressed with a
sensitivity which is much greater than always, regarding crisis as part of a daily management and
being ready according to this. Because the management of crisis communication is no longer a
management business to be implemented only when you face the crisis. In other words, it is not an
optional business; it is an integral part of the strategic communication plans of the institutions or
companies.
Crises come and go, but sometimes it is possible to face the damage caused by them again even after
years. Sometimes, the place of the experiences and the emergent perceptions in the memory causes
reputation at the individual or corporate level to undergo erosion deeply and silently even without
noticing. Although we are experiencing an intensive and fast-changing agenda today; while it is still
supposed that what has happened in relation to a crisis experienced has come and gone and been
forgotten, it is possible to face the situations in which this is not true. Human memory can forget, but
the digital world is now recording and reserving everything. In this sense, the study is based on the
information obtained based on the experiences and observations which are experienced on the
Management of Crisis Communication and includes the propositions for direct application.

A Study on the Students of Medical Promotion and Marketing About The Relationship
Between Moral Values and Religious Beliefs in Choosing the Field of Medical
Representative
Fatih BAYRAM, Tugba GUNGOR, Secil BAYRAM
Karabuk University Faculty of Business
The purpose of this study is to find out the reason why the graduates of Medical Promotion and
Marketing are not volunteer to do their own jobs claiming that this job is not appropriate for them in
terms of their moral and religious values. For this purpose, a suitable vocational attitude scale has been
conducted on 204 students studying this department at Karabük University in April, 2016. Besides
fivefold vocational attitude scale, the students were asked demographic information and osgood types
of questions to reveal the correlation between them. The question about the level of belief and medical
promotion reveals that pearson correlation is p=0,036. The information level of the Medical Promotion
and Marketing students for the vocational inquiries is quite low. It is understood that the students
unwillingly choose their department without having any information about it. Throughout the
education years, these students form their attitude and approach towards their jobs. Besides being
defined in various way, the concept of ethic can be summarized as moral standards and rules. Ethic
determines “good-bad”, “right-wrong”. Being loyal to these ethic rules is beneficial for all levels of the
society in the long run. The most important function of the religion is to regulate the society and set
the consistency among people to ensure the peace. In this perspective, it can be stated that the whole
religions show parallelism with the idea of ethic by forming “good” and “bad”. However, it is not
possible to claim that ethic attitudes are only shaped by religious beliefs. For this reason, it can be
stated that an atheist go beyond the norms of moral values. The existence of ethic values and the
promotion of drugs is open to discussion in this occupation. It is aimed that the students of Medical
Promotion and Marketing department should gain self awareness about ethic rules via new curriculum.
Additionally, it is thought that these students should be guided appropriately while choosing the
department of Medical Promotion and Marketing.

A Search for a Translation Method for Proverbs and Idioms as Cultural Language
Elements: The Cases of Russian and Turkish
Reshat YILDIZ
Instructor
Department of Russian Language and Literature, Gazi Üniversity, Ankara, Turkey
Translation studies is a field of research which investigates the concept of language, which is a holistic
expression of the accumulation of belief, history and culture, differently than linguistics. The basic
point that distinguishes translation studies from linguistics is that the former’s field of investigation is
bidirectional as source language and target language and its obligation to handle these languages as an
organic whole. Literary translation is supposed to deal with these languages interconnectedly with
concepts such as history, culture and literature. Otherwise, achieving equivalence in translation will be
difficult when a cultural linguistic element is come across. The most obvious cases for these
difficulties are idioms and proverbs, as in any other language; because, there are endemic parts of
these elements peculiar to a particular culture along with some universal aspects to them. The
translation of such elements according to some predetermined translation methods is expected to
facilitate the translator’s work. Considering the importance of translation methods for idioms and
proverbs, this study investigates possible methods and models in this context. Furthermore, this study
aims to contribute to the achievement of systemic and equivalent translation by presenting substantial
examples from translations of idioms and proverbs from Russian to Turkish.

The Relationship Between Corporate Image and Organizational Commitment in Health
Care Services
Tugba GUNGOR, Aysegul OKSAY SAHIN
Karabuk University Vocational School of Health Services
Image can be defined as the concept, object and symbols that are envisioned in people’s mind through
imagination. There are various kinds of image such as personal image, country image, brand image,
positive image, negative image, mirror image and corporate image. Corporate image is the whole of
perceptions resulting from feelings, emotions and opinions about that organization in the target
audience’s mind after their interaction with the organization. The corporate image that the
organization wants to create itself may be different from the image about that organization in the target
audience’s mind. In order to create and maintain a persuasion on extrinsic and intrinsic target
audience, it is from now on inevitable for the organizations to make effort on creating a unique and
persuasive image that is in harmony with reality instead of embracing the cooperate image which has
been shaped by the effect of extrinsic factors. The concept of organizational commitment can be
explained as willingness to work for the organization, being aware of the insufficiencies of the
organization and working hard to overcome these deficiencies through own means, the high cost of
leaving the organization or not having other alternatives. Organizational commitment helps the
employee feel like a part of the organization and makes the negative behaviours such as being absent,
being late and leaving the job lessen. In order to minimize all these negative aspects and to increase
the quality of the service given, managing the corporate image through appropriate strategies which is
one of the factors that affect organizational commitment comes to the forefront as an important factor.
In the study which has been done with the sample of nurses, it has been stated that the level of
organizational commitment is not high both in our country and abroad. There are also some studies
which have indicated that there is a positive relationship between perceived corporate image and the
sub-dimension attendance dependence; similarly, there are also some studies which the organizational
commitment of the employee of an organization having a positive corporate image is really high.
Hospital administration should immediately take precautions like developing the corporate image
positively so as to increase the organizational commitment of the nurses.

The purpose of the study is to determine 6 th grade students’ water footprint profile and to evaluate the
profile in terms of water consumption education in Turkey. The water footprint is an indicator of
freshwater use that looks not only at direct water use of a consumer or producer, but also at the
indirect use. The water footprint is a measure of humanity’s appropriation of fresh water in volumes of
water consumed and/or polluted. Increasing population, the adoption of individual lifestyle, increasing
consumption result in freshwater pollution. For the last fourteen years, studies have been emphasizing
on the water footprint of humanity. The USA’s average water footprint is 2480 m3/cap/year; China’s
is 1240 m3/cap/year while Turkey’s average water footprint is 1642 m3/cap/year during 1996-2005.
On the other hand, between 2006-2011 it increased to 1977 m3/cap/year in Turkey.This study is a
survey and the water footprint profiles of sixth grade students was determined based on the personal
calculator-extended which is developed by Hoekstra in 2002. First of all, the survey used for the
personal calculator was adopted to Turkish and administered to 200 sixth grade students in
Artvin/Turkey. The data obtained from the calculator will be analyzed by descriptive statistics and for
comparison between gender, family SES(education, income, occupation etc.), t-test and ANOVA will
be used. The results will be discussed in terms of consciously water consumption education in

A Study on Relations Between Self-Construal and Perception of Gender by University
Students in Turkey
Alper Çuhadaroğlu, Osman Nejat Akfirat
Faculty of Education, Maltepe University, Istanbul, Turkey
There are two prominent self – construal types in western cultures. One of them is “autonomous self
construal” which is related with becoming independent and separation. The other one is “related selfconstrual” which is related with dependency. However, in societies like Turkey where family bonds
are still important even in urban life, another self-construal type, “autonomous-related self” is also
defined. It is stated that Turkish society is dominated by a collectivistic culture. In Turkish society,
close bonds within family, relatives, neighbours and social groups are very important. It is also stated
that in such societies, in spite of rise in urbanisation and modernisation, there is also a rise in close
bonds within social groups. Another important fact, which is highly affected by culture, is gender.
Gender is a group of norms and cultural expectations about how to behave a person according to their
sex and also includes stereotypes related with a sex. The aim of this study is to examine relationships
between some socio-demographic variables such as sex, family, area of residence, self-construal types
and perception of gender by university students in Turkey. The participants consist of 134 (106
female, 28 male) college students selected from a state university in Turkey. The self in Family
Context Scale and Perception of Gender Scale were used to collect data. According to the results, a
significant and positive relationship between students’ autonomous self-construal type and gender and
a significant and positive relationship between autonomous-relative self-construal and gender have
been detected. Results have been discussed in cultural context.

between the last five years. This means that today's Islamic banking assets are more than $2.4 trillion.
Although Islamic assets are less than 1 percent of global banking assets, it is rapidly growing
especially after the global crisis that started in the USA in 2008. Not only Islamic countries but also
western countries use an array of Islamic financial instruments that are buying and selling in their
financial markets. For example, one of the Islamic financial instrument, named sukuk -similar to
Islamic bond- was valued at $320 million in Britain in 2012 (Calamur 2013).
Even though the history of Islamic banking is brief, the Islamic banks have to establish their principles
and they should not look through conventional banking windows. Some countries achieved this, but
for instance the Turkish Islamic Banking system is still under control by conventional banking rules.
This is an ethical problem for their clients. Most of their clients use Islamic banking instruments; they
believe bank management obey Quran ad hoc. On the other hand, many clients of Turkish Islamic
banking warn the bank manager about charging interests rates for their instruments which is forbidden
by Islamic rules. This is an ethical dilemma. The aim of this study is to examine whether Turkish
Islamic banking system activities are ethical or not.

Themed environments are continuously being integrated to our daily lives. The idea of theming may
be used for touristic, economical, political and cultural purposes. Shopping environments hold an
important place in daily life practices and it is possible to observe that different design approaches are
being employed to attract more people such as theming. Theming can be considered as one of the
ways to include fun and fantasy in shopping environments. Themed indoor marketplaces can be
understood as a representative of this. In this study, it is aimed to discuss the construction of outdoor
marketplaces and the idea of neighbourhood in themed environments.
Urbanization in Ankara introduced new practices to the daily lives of people, which include large
shopping malls and indoor marketplaces. The idea of neighbourhood in Ankara is gradually being lost
especially outside its center area. The shops used to be separate and included the outdoors market, the
bakery, the greengrocer, the butcher and more. It is possible to see the fading of this street shopping
culture in the process of urbanization, and it is being replaced with indoor marketplaces. However,
some indoor marketplaces reconstruct the idea of neighbourhood shopping through theming. To
exemplify this situation, two marketplaces from Ankara, Marketplace of Kentpark Shopping Mall and
the Marketplace of Yaşamkent Beğendik, are selected. Interviews with customers are used to
understand how people experience these themed shopping environments.

Alternative Dispute Resolution in Administrative Disputes
N. Sebnem Sayhan
Assistant Professor
Department of Political Sciences and Public Administration, University of Istanbul, Turkey
Judicial Review, as the most essential method of review of the Administration, is unable to protect the
individual person who is powerless against the more powerful Administration, due to reasons such as
the Administrative Judicial system functioning at a slow pace under heavy work load, the limited
nature of judicial review and hefty economical costs of filing a Court action. Lately, within modern
legal systems, it has become common practice both in Judicial and Administrative disputes to apply to
alternative methods to resolve disputes without taking the judicial route. In our paper, the instutions of
ombudsman- and mediatorship, along with methods such as Arbitration, Mediation, amicable
settlement before the Courts, which are mainly applicable to Judicial disputes shall be evaluated in a
general manner and the topic of General Administrative Procedure, which, in our country was
discussed upon in length, but a conclusion was not reached, and the applicability of said dispute
resolution methods and their ability to become an alternative to Administrative Procedure was
reviewed.

Associate Professor
Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Faculty of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical
University, Trabzon/TURKEY
The first universities opened in Turkey out of İstanbul and Ankara were Karadeniz Technical
University of Trabzon, and Ege University of İzmir, having been opened on May 27th, 1955, by virtue
of the Laws No.6594 and 6595. They were followed a year later by ODTÜ (Middle East Technical
University) of Ankara, and by Atatürk University of Erzurum as of 1957. The most important feature
of this period was that, all four universities were built in the form of campus.
Campus of Black Sea Technical University (KTÜ), which was attained by way of competition, and
thereupon designed as campus, is an educational and living environment for 35,000 students, and
3,500 academic and administrative personnel extending over 188 hectares of land. With its design in
campus layout bringing along significant advantages in terms of spatial quality, it is an integrated and
attractive living environment thanks to its educational, socio-cultural, accommodation, and green
areas.
KTÜ campus’ living environment has been assessed in view of its physical environmental quality and
social facilities by means of the periodical surveys organized thereat in the years 2012, 2014, and
2016. Students were undergone survey with 95% safety/5% error margin, and random sample method.
In the survey consisting of all types of questions, visual materials and maps were also made use of;
Total of 2250 survey findings (750 per each period) have been interpreted.
While the data attained from the field surveys have been assessed via statistical analysis method, such
issues as recreational, social, and cultural utilities/facilities, levels of their utilization, urban utilization,
accessibility, security, etc. have been assessed by way of linking with user profiles. In recognition of
the campus’ importance in terms of social interaction for serving the students as their living
environment throughout their educational periods, the facilities and negativities it currently possesses,
and those getting changed in the course of time have been assessed for the purpose of determining the
level of satisfaction.

Psychological and demographic factors affecting the political and social participation of
Turkish immigrants in Germany
O. Nejat AKFIRAT
Assistant Professor
Kocaeli University, College of Education, Department of Education Sciences Kocaeli/Turkey
Gradual democratization of societies as a result of socio-economic and cultural changes has naturally
brought the participation of masses in social and political life into the forefront. Politics and
government is now not only a profession of professional politicians and administrators, but it is also a
common platform where all citizens participate. Social and political participation is both an indicator
of being a contemporary society and an area of personal development. The individuals involved in
political and social processes are observed to have more positive psychological features and fewer
psychological problems compared to those not involved. This study is a descriptive survey model
research which aims to determine the social-political-psychological factors of the social and political
participation of Turkish immigrants living in Germany. In the study, a mixed method design
combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods and data analysis was used. The
quantitative data of the research were obtained through the administration of “political and social
participation scale” to 125 university students (60 female, 65 male) studying in Germany. The
qualitative data of the research were obtained through the interviews conducted with 11 people who
lived in Germany and came to the forefront in terms of political and social participation. A regression
analysis was carried out to the data obtained from the university students in order to understand the
nature of their participation, whereas a content analysis was performed to the qualitative data. As
aresult of the analyses, it was found out that family, confidence level, exhibition of responsible
citizenship behavior, school life and political activity perceptionare effective in the political
participation of Turkish university students. As a result of the interviews conducted with high political
participation in Germany; family, school, general self-efficacy perception, xenophobia, desire to fight
injustice, citizenship behaviors and problems foreigners experience were found to be effective in their
political participation. It was also found out that level of confidence in people and the country, general
self-efficacy perception, performance of studies on social issues in their school life and desire to carry
out studies on social issues in the future are effective in the social participation of young people. As a
result of the interviews conducted with high political participation in Germany, family, school, selfefficacy perception, xenophobia, desire to fight injustice, problems foreigners experience were found
to be effective in their social participation.

The increased need for revenues has created a renewed interest in taxes which are the most important
source of revenue. This need produced many studies on tax compliance. Tax compliance can be
defined as accurate reporting of tax liability by the taxpayers.
The studies on tax compliance seek to reveal the possible effects of many economic and sociopsychologial factors and factors related to tax administration that are beyond the limited number of
variables in classical studies on tax complience and propose ways to increase tax compliance.
The regulatory role of public authority is important in establishing and improving tax compliance.
This paper focus on analysing and evaluating the legal regulations which encouraging the tax
compliance and make some recommendations.

Dr.
Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences , Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey
In this study investigates the relationship between real exchange rates and foreign exchange reserves
in Turkey using quarterly data over period 2003-2014. In the analysis, the unit root tests were used to
test the stationarity of each variable firstly. In the second stage, Johansen co-integration test was
applied in order to determine whether a long-term relationship exists between the variables. In the
final stage, Impact-Response and Variance Decomposition analysis based on the VAR model were
carried out to determine the effects that occur as a result of short-term positive shocks. As a result of
the unit root tests all variables were found to be stationary in the first difference. Johansen cointegration test applied in the next step resulted that the series don’t move together in the long run.
Then in order, with Impulse- Response analysis and Variance decomposition, predictions for 10 terms
period were made. However a significant relation could not be found.

Seeing light at the end of the tunnel: the role of Positivity in the relationship between
Experience of Unemployment and Perceived Competences to Find a Job
Annalisa Theodorou, Cristiano Violani, Guido Alessandri
Department of Social and Developmental Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome, Rome, Italy
Introduction. Jahoda (1981) described unemployment as a negative event since it deprives the
individual of latent functions which are fulfilled by having a job. From another perspective (Warr
1984, 2007), unemployment is a role transition and the experience of this condition depends on the
resources the individual can count on. Consistently with the Conservation of Resources Model
(Hobfoll, 1989) individual’s Positivity, defined as a sense of control and satisfaction with one’s life,
could play an important role in moderating the subjective Experience of Unemployment (EU,
perceived either as a Loss or as a kind of role Transition) and the individual’s Perceived Competences
to Find a Job (PCFJ). In the present study, we tested empirically this hypothesis. Participants. We gave
a structured interview to 101 unemployed workers (51.5% female), aged 35 to 45, selected at a hiring
hall in Rome, Italy, based on the ILO criteria for unemployment. Method. Measures of Positivity, EU
and PCFJ were analysed through a Moderated Multiple Regression Model where statistical
significance of regression parameters was established through a bootstrap procedure with 10,000 runs.
Results. We found a significant interaction effect of EU and Positivity on PCFJ, controlling for
gender, age and length of unemployment. Interestingly, high levels of Positivity intervened in
moderating the interaction only when unemployment was perceived as a Loss. Conclusions. Positivity
could represent an important resource to foster in vocational guidance and counselling programmes
aimed at promoting a way out of the unemployment, which nowadays affects increasing number of
people around the world.

Ethnic diversity and media: the representation of migration in the three main Italian
newspapers
Marta Tedesco, Gianluca Giraudo
Department of communication and social research, Sapienza University of Rome, Italy
In the production of journalistic contents that characterizes the contemporary information world, we
assist to rising phenomena - such as scandal politics, the continued creation of breaking news and the
tendency to the spread of unverified news - that have been studied among others by Castells and
Boczkowski. This context is also influenced by the increasing digitalization in the process of sources
retrieval and news elaboration and by the frantic consumption by readers. Among other consequences,
we observe a greater approximation in treating delicate topics such as diversity ethnic. This phenomen
has emphasized also by the research activities of a collective and multidisciplinary reality such as
“Carta di Roma”, engaged in the reporting of cases of "bad" journalism in reference to migration
issues. In the background of this theoretical framework, the present study intends to focus on the
treatment that online editions of three main Italian newspapers reserve to the ethnic diversity. “La
Repubblica”, “il Corriere della Sera” and “la Stampa” are compared to study similarities and
differences in the narration of the most recent migration episodes, with the aim of drawing the
mainstream journalistic approach to these phenomena. From a methodological point of view, the
research conducts a content analysis on ten items – contributions that show a specific interest in the
expression of ethnic diversity – of each newspaper.

Woman in Turks According To Dede Korkut Book
Sami BASKIN, Tuğba KARAKAYALI
Department of Education, University of Gaziosmapaşa, Turkey
Literary texts have been blended with the cultural elements of the societies they belong to. Every
writer tells the society s/he belongs to, the life s/he knows and the situation s/he could imagine.
Therefore; the readers acquire knowledge about the lifestyle, nutrition and belief of the society in
which these works have been produced and also their relations with nature and other nations. The data
have been attained from Dede Korkut (Dresden Copy) book in this study in which the social role of
woman in Turkish folk culture in Old Periods, viewpoint towards the woman and the non-human
entities associated with woman have been examined.
Dede Korkut book is one of the oldest works of Ghuzz Turks. This work estimated to have been
written in the second half of 15th century consists of twelve stories and a foreword transferred for
centuries from mouth to mouth and being a verbal traditional work. These foreword and stories
contain information regarding the lifestyle, economy, belief, dresses, feedings and nature of Ghuzz
Turks. Based on this information, it is possible to discover the social, psychological, economic etc.
role of the women in life. In addition; the attributions associated with women, the names given to the
entities in nature by inspiration from women or the situations in which women have been defined with
transfers from nature are also important data for the definition of women in the old Turkish culture.
Dede Korkut (Dresden copy) book has been examined with document scanning method for the women
to be able to be described in the Turkish culture in that period and for all these feminine situations to
be able to be revealed, document analyses of the sections detected to be about women have been
conducted; names, attributions and assimilations related to the women have been collected and they
have been interpreted.
As a result of the examination; it has been observed that women are separated into four groups
according to their behaviors in the foreword section of Dede Korkut book. Three of them are the
unwanted types of women. Only one group has been described as good women. It has also been
indirectly told in the stories that the status of the daughters is lower than the boys. For instance; it has
been told in the assemblies arranged by Bayindir Han every year and in which Ghuzz masters have
been invited that those having sons have been welcomed in white marquees, those having daughters
272
have been welcomed in red marquees and those having no daughter or son have been welcomed in
black marquees.
Regarding the names given to the women; Turkish names such as Can Kiz, Salcan Hatun, Banu Cicek
have been preferred as well as the names with Arabian Islamic roots and that are still used today such
as Zeliha, Zubeyde, Ayna Melek, Kutlu Melek.

The Criticism of Social Assistances from the Perspective of Public Choice Theory
Serdar Yay
Instructor
Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Suleyman Demirel University, Turkey
Social assistances, including all kinds of financial supports with social and economical aims for poor
and needy people and groups in the society, in the widest sense is a political instrument consisting of
financial and practical social income made by semi-official and voluntary organizations based on the
authorization given by government agencies or law in order to make people who are deprived of living
themselves and people around them self-sufficient.
Public choice theory, briefly it can be defined as ‘Economic Analysis of Political Science’, is a
discipline, based on the early 18th century, explain decisions and practices in political process by
using of instruments, methods and assumptions that economics use. James M. Buchanan, who led to
the birth of Public Choice Theory, analyzes social assistances made by the state from the perspective
of public choice theory in his published ‘Samaritan's Dilemma’ study in 1975 by inspiring from
Samaritan story in Bible. Buchanan describes this dilemma as a game in which receipts and aiders
bargain and exploit aids. When we, as a society, evaulate Samaritan’s Dilemma game limited by a
charitable person’s interaction, It is seen that social assistances move away from real purpose and turn
into an exploiting field. According to Buchanan, the way getting rid of Samaritan’s Dilemma is not
social assistances made by states, but social assistances made by voluntary organizations.
In this study, social assistances will be discussed from the perspective of Public Choice Theory and
Samaritan's Dilemma, pioneer of the theory about social assistances, will be assessed.

One of the most important administrative features at the end of 20. Century and in 21. Century is that
different administrative approachs performed and these approachs shaped our current administrative
structure. In this process, in which some new concepts and prcatices are implemented at both national
and global level, especially changes in private sector had led to significant transformation in the field
of administration by affecting public sector directly. Since then the mid-1970s, new public
administration concept with flexible organizational structure, decentralization and minimal state
concept replaced with traditional public administration approach centralized, rigid hierarchical and
strict adherence to rules. Since the beginning of the 1980s, traditional public administration was no of
use both theorically and practically. New forms of public administration were adopted and this new
approach showed up as new paradigma in public sector.
After 1980s, New public administration approach popularized worldwide and Turkey couldn’t remain
insensitive against this transformation. This new administrative approach being implemented in
Turkey by Turgut Özal, begun to show the impact of transformation in public administration.
In this study, changes occuring on the field of both the central and local units in the framework of the
new public administration approach of Turkey public administration will be examined and good
governance principles, which is prerequisite for democracy and citizen-oriented development of
Turkish publich administration, will be mentioned based on the governance concept that puts
communication between the governing and administer in the framework of the principle of

Administration, Uncubozkoy Campus, 45030, Manisa,Turkey
The contemporary marketing environment which is highly competitive and uncertain forces
companies to be different from their competitors. For making difference and gaining competitive
advantage, providing unique values to customers has come into prominence. As delivering brand
values, the brand promise must be embraced by employees because they’re brand ambassadors.
Implementing the approach called internal branding helps companies to make employees understand
the brand values. This study aims to investigate implementation of internal branding in a
manufacturing organization. While analyzing previous studies, it has been detected that the studies
about internal branding is too limited in our country. There are lots of studies about internal branding
in foreign literature however most of them focused on service firms. For this reason, it is believed that
this study which investigates the internal branding practices in a manufacturing firm will contribute to
national and international literature. Data gathering methods for this study are observation,
examination of the web site and documents of the firm, paired depth interview. The paired depth
interview’s conducted with two managers of Vestel A.Ş. who have information about internal
branding practices. Paired interviews provide interaction between people so researchers can get more
data. The question form was constituted by investigating previous studies which are about steps of
implementing internal branding. After analyzing data we had an idea about steps, difficulties and
critical success factors of internal branding practices in a real manufacturing firm. Finally, we offered
managerial implications for firms to motivate, inspire and engage employees via internal branding.

A Specific Building For Women in Kyzikos
Hacer ÇORUH
Assistant Professor
Harran University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of Archaeology Şanlıurfa - TURKEY
Kyzikos is one of Anatolia's most leading cities. According to ancient writers Kyzikos was established
by the goddess Kore (Persephone). The people of Kyzikos believed that Zeus gave Kyziskos to
Persephone as a dowry. Kore and her mother Demeter’s cult was dominant in the city. This mystery
cult is based on the myth of Kore’s abduction. Several Anatolian cities such as Sardis, Gordion, Nysa,
Hierapolis, Magnesia and Tralles considered that Kore’s abductıon occured ın their cities. The people
of Kyzikos also traditionally believed the abduction occured within their city. This event was
celebrated and immortalized in the coinage of the city. Various elements of this civic myth are
portrayed in cultic celebration.
Images of the cult of Kore Soteira were frequently depicted on the coins. One such element appears to
be a large, round structure, probably a cult structure, that contains a door near the middle; the door is
shown always closed. A short stairway is shown approaching this door. The door is flanked by two
torches wıth snakes curling upwards. Keeping the door closed and the unusual architecture of the
building is due to the secret rituals.
Kyzikos coins from the 2nd and 3rd century A.D. must be associated with secret ceremonies of
Demeter and Kore. What is surprising is that archaeological finds concerning the cult of Kyzikos Kore
so far are missing. Only epigraphic and the ancient sources, along with ancient coins minted by the
city, serve as our only evidence regarding this cult.

Language dominance in bilinguals
Horabail Venkatagiri
Associate Professor
2130 Pearson Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011 USA
When a speaker speaks two or more languages, how are those languages organized in the brain, what
relationship exists between these languages in the brain of the speaker, and how does the speaker use
the languages for communication? These are the questions answered in the bilingual/multilingual
research literature. In answering these questions, the concept of “language dominance” plays a central
role. It is held that, in bilinguals, the language the speaker is more proficient in is dominant. Through a
thorough literature review and new data, I will argue in this presentation that for bilinguals who use
both languages on a regular basis in their communities, one language is not dominant. Language
dominance is context and topic specific – one language may be dominant for communication in certain
contexts and for certain topics while the other language may be dominant for a different set of contexts
and topics. Facts, stored in our memory, are retrieved using a language and thoughts are generated
using a language. Let's call facts and thoughts as "knowledge structures." We only have one set of
knowledge structures, which can be retrieved using either language. In a particular context or for a
particular topic, the language that has the more direct connection to the pertinent knowledge structures
is dominant. If a French speaker studied human anatomy in English, for topics related to human
anatomy, English is dominant even though, when talking about cuisine, for instance, French may be
dominant. I will offer a revised definition of bilingual language dominance.

Identification of Preschool Teachers’ Digital Empowerment Levels
Fatma Elif Kilinc, Guluzar Sule Tepetas Cengiz
Faculty of Health Sciences - Yıldırım Beyazıt Universitesi Ankara, Turkey
As interwoven concepts, knowledge and technology play active roles in the development processes of
societies. Technology use is increasing rapidly in the world. The skills required to access and utilize
information have changed parallel to widespread use of technology and it has become imperative to
develop digital empowerment skills. Digital empowerment includes easy access to necessary
information that is generated by various technologies which digitally cache and transfer information;
understanding and evaluating the accessed information and knowledge generation. Hence, learning
environments’ and teachers’ competences in efficient technology use and in organizing technology
based learning experiences affect acquisition of digital empowerment skills by students. This study
aimed to identify preschool teachers’ digital empowerment levels. A descriptive method was used to
present preschool teachers’ digital empowerment levels. Study group was composed of 107 preschool
teachers employed in Bolu province. “Digital Empowerment Scale” developed by Akkoyunlu, Yılmaz
Soylu and Çağlar (2010) was used as the data collection tool. It was found that 21.5% of the teachers
had moderate digital empowerment levels while 78.5% had high digital empowerment levels. When
teachers’ digital empowerment mean scores were examined in terms of subscales, it was found that the
highest level of digital empowerment was observed in “awareness” followed by "motivation",
"technical access" and "empowerment”.

University as a brand and Social Media
Moira Colantoni
PhD Student
Department of Communication and Social Research, Sapienza Università di Roma, Rome, Italy
The aim of this paper is to analyze how universities use social media, especially as regards their
growing penetration rate among users, both worldwide – there are over 2 billion unique accounts – and
at European level where we can sum over 400 million accounts (We are Social, January 2016). This
trend is combined with a growing interest by academic institutions, both public and private, in these
specific communication fields, which are intended both as complementary to traditional means of
contact with the student, as well as a wider communication channel. The background of this context is
the ever more competitive approach of universities in relation to orientation and tutoring activities,
which emphasizes a logic of competition involving the university’s ability to promote itself as a brand,
in order to increase entrants and obtain, inter alia, funds in support of teaching and research.
In this paper I will focus on the best European public universities within the EHEA (European Higher
Education Area), according to the 2015 Shanghai Ranking, and how they use social media to engage
with the academic community. I will try to find out if there are any common and recurring best
practices; if it is possible to identify categories of use and if there is or is not a structured dedicated
team, in which a social media manager exists. By doing so, this paper will help us comprehend the
relevance of social media across some European academic excellences.

The region term generally means as terrain of which borders are determined by certain criteria.
Although it had some different meanings during the historical process, today, it is usually used to
define the spatial organisations formed against the new statues emerged along with globalisation. On
the other hand, regional planning is an instrument for aggregation of the regions for economical, social
and environmental goals. The regional planning in Turkey can be regarded as a kind of planning that is
prepared the spatial organisations in the development plans to reach these goals and to direct how the
physical planning should be made. The key element taken as a reference on the subject what the
regional plans should include in Turkey is the Level 2 classification based on the NUTS(Nomenclature
of Units for Territorial Statistics) adopted along with EU harmonization process. In this level
framework, in Turkey, 26 regions has been established and a Development Agency is charged with
each of them. The Development Agencies are essential factors on local level to make the regional
plans. Therefore, there are 26 regional plans in Turkey. In this study, by studying some selected
reginal plans, what the priorities established for environment will be determined and evaluated with
each other comparatively, and what is amed with these priorities in the point of Development
Agencies will be emphasised.

Assistant Professor
Department of PreSchool Teacher Training, Education Faculty, Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University,
Turkey
The objective of this study is to examine the levels of the self-efficacy of primary school teacher
candidates towards first reading-writing education and whether they differentiate by various variables.
The study is prepared in accordance with the scanning model. The universe of this study consists of
the primary school teacher candidates who receive education at an Education Faculty of a public
university in Istanbul province. As for the sample, it consists of 124 primary school teacher candidates
who receive education at the Education Faculty of two public universities in Istanbul province. As for
the data collection tool, the “Self-efficacy towards First Reading-Writing Education Scale” developed
by Delican (2016) was employed in this study. As a result of the study, there is not a significant
difference between the self-efficacies of the primary school teacher candidates towards first readingwriting education depending on their age. The self-efficacy of the primary school teacher candidates
towards first reading-writing education creates a significant difference depending on the gender
variable. In the preparation, application and evaluation sub-dimensions and on the scale overall, the
self-efficacy of females towards first reading-writing education is higher when compared to males.
There is a significant difference depending on the variable of the grade in which the primary school
teacher candidates receive an education. The self-efficacy of the primary school teacher candidates
who receive education in the 3rd grade towards first reading-writing education is higher when
compared to the primary school teacher candidates in the 4th grade. There is not a significant
difference between the self-efficacy of the primary school teacher candidates towards first readingwriting education depending on the variable of thinking that teaching first reading-writing to primary
school first grades is a hard work. The self-efficacy of the primary school teacher candidates who have
previously helped their siblings or nephews/nieces during the process of learning first reading and
writing towards first reading-writing education is higher in regard to the application and evaluation
sub-dimensions and the scale overall. It was observed that the self-efficacy of the primary school
teacher candidates towards first reading-writing education in regard to the preparation and application
sub-dimensions and the scale overall was high; the self-efficacy of the primary school teacher
candidates towards first reading-writing education according to the evaluation sub-dimension was at a
quite high level.

Could We Use Kinect Technology for Foreign Language Education?
Erman Yukselturk, Serhat Altiok, Memet Ucgul
Faculty of Education, Kirikkale University, Kirikkale, Turkey
In this study, we propose a novel approach that makes the student have chance to examine and
evaluate on one's own and then promotes metacognition in foreign language courses. In this novel
approach, Kinect technology, through which students can monitor themselves and find the opportunity
to participate in the activities or games as a group in environments close to real life, would be used.
For this purpose, Kinect-based situational games would be developed as a learning material for
students who take foreign language courses. As a result, we will discuss several variables that have a
significant upgrade capacity by using this innovative approach. This study is supported by TUBITAK
(The Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey, project no: 115K489).

The Role of Positive Self-Evaluation and Attachment for Existential Meaning among
Young Women
Ivana Václaviková, Lenka Selecká, Jana Holienková
Department of Psychology, University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Trnava, Slovakia
This article deals with the topic of how young women make sense of life and focuses on crucial factors
that may play an important role in their lives as existential meaning makers: core self-evaluations and
adult attachment. Positive core self-evaluations represents an individual fundamental positive
evaluation about themselves, their own abilities and their own sense of control. It may be expected, the
positive self attitude should be a protective factor against the feeling of existential frustration. Further,
an individual is inherently living in social boundaries. As such, close relationships are essential for
process of meaning in life creation. Due to importance of rearing in the development of actual
relationships, the examination of father's rejection is included. The research sample consists of 383
women (M=24.68; SD=4.33). The LOGO-TEST (Lukas, 1971, trans. Balcar, 1992), The Experiences
in Close Relationships-Revised (Brennan, Clark, Shaver, 1998, trans. Bieščad, Hašto, 2009), The Core
Self-Evaluations Scale (CSES; Judge et al., 1997, trans. Karasová, Očenášová, 2014), and s-EMBU
(My memories of upbringing, Arrindell, et al., 1999, trans. Poliaková, Mojžíšová, Hašto, 2007) are
used. The linear regression analysis has confirmed the core self-evaluations as a predictor for
existential meaning: the lower core self-evaluations, the higher existential frustration (B=-0.590;
p=0.000). Another important predictors confirmed are attachment-related anxiety (B=0.167; p=0.000)
and avoidance (B=0.077; p=0.049). Further analysis has shown another differences between women
with high and low core self-evaluations in terms of adult attachment, and father's rejection. Theoretical
implications and gains for counselling process are discussed.

Will the secular-laic society bring social gender mainstreaming with the outlooks of
feminist movements in Turkey?
Eylem Sayin
PhD Student
Public Administration, University of Mugla Sitki Kocman, Mugla, Turkey
The struggle for gender mainstreaming; against discrimination of the idea that people in the
conservatives defend male and female are not equal physically, is not intended to start a sexual
function equivalence discussion. Implied equality here is the understanding that there will be equality
as human beings; regardless of women's and men's reproductive differences. Although suggested that
this will be possible with the construction of the modern system of the equality principle is used, how
much the effect on this patriarchal structure is controversial. Here the problem is; beyond
fictionalizing, whether to establish effective modernization, or not. As stated by Marx, “social
progress can be measured with the social position of women in an infallible way.” From this
perspective, the social position of women and the exposure of the negative effects, indicates that the
perspective trying to figure out modernization couldn't solve the problem exactly or follow the right
way to solve the problem. All over the world and especially in Turkey, it wouldn't be exaggerated to
say that there is a hypocritical attitude in ensuring gender equality when we consider the plight of the
woman. Modern-looking patriarchal structures in decision-making, formed a scene of what they want
to see and to be seen, rather than producing a solution with the understanding of a secular society and
a laic-secular state.

Zeytinburnu/İstanbul
The Garip Movement in Turkish poetry, also called First New, was initiated by three young poets,
Orhan Veli, Melih Cevdet and Oktay Rifat, with the publication of a book of poems titled Garip in
1941. Garip means “bizarre” or “odd,” and the word was used literally both for the movement and the
book because these poems were unusual and uncommon for that period. Orhan Veli explained the
particularities of the movement in the foreword of the book. Rhyme and measure were avoided in the
poems written within this framework. The poets were against metaphors, figurative expressions, all
kinds of artificiality, and fancy or ornate use of language. They tried to apply everyday language to
poetry, and accordingly, they used certain words and expressions not previously employed in poetry.
Ordinary people and their lives was a major theme. They were against poeticality in particular and also
everything that was of yore.
In this study, the titles of the poems in the book will be examined as gateways to the universe of
meaning projected in each poem to see the extent to which they reflect the poem and the particularities
of the movement. After that, the English and French translations of the titles will be compared with the
original titles, and the results will be evaluated by Jean Claude Coquet’s Theory of Instances of
Enunciation from the point of view of the semiotics of translation; the translator will be treated as the
receiver of the discourse in the context of the original text and the producer of discourse in the context
of the target text

Artvin Çoruh University Faculty of Forestry Department of Landscape Architecture 08000, Artvin,
Turkey
Due to the increasing urbanization in the times we live in, human life became a stress factor. Thus,
physical and psychological renewal became a significant need for urbanites. Changing the
environment is one of the ways to fulfil this need. Individuals who consider urban environment
unsatisfactory for this purpose started to be interested in rural recreation areas and natural
environments to satisfy their needs to spend quality and rejuvenating time. Rural recreation areas
provide the best opportunities for the urban individuals to be in a natural environment. Individuals
prefer these areas for clean air, tranquility, natural visual attractions and similar reasons. Furthermore,
several different factors (age, gender, income level, cultural background, etc.) could be effective on
individuals’ choice for recreational activities. Determination of these factors would guide the planners
and administrators in identification of the sufficiency, content and adequacy of the recreation activities
that would be developed.
The objective of the present study is to determine the qualities effective on the preference of
individuals on rural recreation areas. In the context of the study, the effectiveness of 20 identified
factors on preference was determined using a survey form. The relationships between the participants’
demographic data and the effectiveness on preference were analyzed. The rates of preference of the 20
effective rural recreation area preference factors were identified and correlation analysis was
conducted. At the end of the study, several recommendations were presented on identification and
planning of recreation areas.

Qualities and Metaphors Attributed to Women in Kutadgu Bilig
Sami BASKIN, Tuğba KARAKAYALI
Department of Turkhis Education, gaziosmanpasa university, Tokat, Turkey
Kutadgu Bilig which describes how social life must be and shows the qualifications of ideal person is
one of the masterpieces of Turkish literature. Yusuf Has Hacib identified the ideal person as “a person
who is purified from all bad qualifications and adorned with good manners” in his work. According to
him “this person is a believer who has piousness and attaches to Allah for dear life. He is a wise and
savant who learned all lore and ingenuities in his term. He has some qualifications such as poetry,
eloquence, calculation, geometry, medicine etc. as well as knowing all languages and alphabets. He
doesn’t give up justice and integrity and he is also modest and demure. He doesn’t steal, tell lies, drink
alcohol and gossip. He is quite generous and bighearted. He behaves merciful and conscientious to the
people around him. He behaves according to the customs and etiquettes”. All these good manners are
necessary to discharge social functions properly. This is an obligatory situation for the leading people
such as emperor, vizier, governor, commander as well as common people such as clerk, cook, soldier.
Therefore in the work, a social person and the relation between the people was explained. As a matter
of course women are the important part of this statement. In some cases, characteristics attributed to
the women are mentioned, and sometimes embodied metaphors were produced using qualities
belonged to the women. Such kinds of lexical units which are the examples of the richness of Turkish
expression and opportunities given to poet from literature provide important datas to understand Yusuf
Has Hacib’s poetic language and viewpoint to women.
For example, in these lines the world was personalised and likened to flirtatious woman.
Ara kılkı kız teg kılmçı silig
Sevitür sunup tutsa birmez elig
Ara körse yügrür bezenip udu
Ara körmedük teg kılur yir kodu
Yusuf Has Hacib used this common metaphor related to the women (to be coward like a woman) to
encourage the warriors.
290
Yağıda kereksiz yüreksiz kişi
Yüreksiz kişi ol tişiler işi
The poet used some common metaphors that reflects girl’s features who is going to get married
(hosewife; virgin, etc.) For example, in this couplet the features of the girl are follows;
usa ew kızı al elig tegmedük
seniñde adın er yüzin körmedük
To find out and analyse Yusuf Has Hacib’s metaphors and qualities related to women, the book called
Kutadgu Bilig published by Kabalcı Publications was analysed using document scanning method and
these metaphors were found out and these document analysis were described.
As a result of the research, it was seen that a lot of metaphors related to woman (such as being wellbehaved, virgin, having good family, having piousness and modesty otherwise it is imperfection etc.)
were used and they reflect the life style of Turkish people and social understanding. At the same time,
abstract concepts were embodied and the descriptions were made to emphasize the concrete concepts
using women’s features (for example darkness of the sky was likened to an angry woman who covers
her face with her hair).

Artvin is recognized as an important gene source, because of the rich genetic diversity found in
Turkey's flora. Artvin has a great variety of native plant species. However, the number of cultivated
plant species doesn't reflect this richness. Exotic species are extensively used for planting applications.
Nowadays, environmental problems have attracted an increasing interest in public agenda raising the
public awareness for ecological issues and creating significantly higher expectations. Using native
species in landscape applications is becoming a more common practice. There is a great body of
literature that denotes using native plant species to support ecological integrity of urban and rural
spaces. To utilize these benefits, first of all, the flora of the each region has to be elaborately
recognized and specific propagation methods have to be determined. The goal of this research was to
determine some native herbaceous species present natural areas in Artvin flora and their possible use
as ornamental plants in landscape applications..

While municipalities are providing services in local areas, the welfare service and social welfare
delivery of them for the groups which can be defined as poor and/or disadvataged are regarded as
requirement of the welfare state constitutionally. Welfare service is defined in cash and kind aids for

Is The Nursing Image Changing ?

Assistant Professor

Karabuk/TURKEY
Professional image is the concept that a group is evaluated by the community and these values are
accepted widely. The basis of a successful image is the fact that the people have a positive image
about themselves. How the individuals perceive themselves and the image that they give off is very
important. While the professional image is a rare subject that has been searched about it has a great
importance on account of the fact that it affects the work, attitude and behaviors. It is known that the
image has an important role as a factor reflecting professionalism and affecting nursing which has a
centenary history around the world. A prestige of a profession is valued through the quality of the
service it gives to the community. It is necessary for the members of the profession and the people
who will take advantage of the services to completely understand the contribution that nursing makes
about health care. Nursing image affects the individuals who think about choosing nursing as a career,
the decision makers about nursing practices and the behaviors of the people receiving the service. The
decreasing value of nursing in the eyes of the community affects the professional image negatively and
it has some more effects such as the decrease in job satisfaction of nurses, weakening in professional
and organizational commitment, high level of tension in working atmosphere, low work performance
and intention to go on working. It is quite important in health care organizations about ensuring the
quality of service to make the nurses stay within the organization and to prevent them from leaving the
profession. According to the studies, the reasons such as inadequacy of nurse employment, bad
working conditions, high number of professional risks, and inadequacy of clinical branch out, little
number of male nurses affect the nursing image negatively. Each nurse has to be aware of how his/her
professional perception and activities affect the professional image. Members of the profession who
have absorbed the profession, has a positive opinion about the future of nursing, contributes to the
community and who can present this contribution will affect the professional image of the community
positively. In this study, changes in nursing image in Turkey and their effects have been searched.

The Road to Survival, The Road to America
Aysegul Gundogdu
Instructor Dr.
Department of American Culture and Literature, Dokuz Eylul University, Tınaztepe Kampusu, Buca,
Izmir
American road movie, as a genre, is known for its, as Laderman puts it, “embrace of the journey as a
means of cultural critique” (1). This journey becomes the starting point both for new possibilities and
possible dangers outside of the society and cultural borders. The road itself is the emblem for freedom,
adventure, pioneer spirit and challenging of both the order and the borders of society. In many of the
traditional examples of this genre are the movies depicting heroes and/or heroines leaving society,
order and “home” to search for a new and different meaning of life.
In a somewhat different context from this theme of the traditional American desire for free and open
roads, based on Cormac McCarthy’s novel with the same title, the movie The Road (dir. John
Hillcoat) depicts a post-apocalyptic America where all is dust and ashes with a gloomy gray
atmosphere. This is not America promising a free city upon a hill to its settlers but a dangerous and
deserted no man’s land where a father and son are on a long journey trying to reach to the sea just to
save themselves and to survive.
Accordingly, this paper aims at discussing how The Road presents a different version of the traditional
road movie structure and a different version of America with its basic premises of freedom,
individuality and being the city upon the hill as the promised land.

DOUBLE-FACED NATURE OF THE FREE MARKET IDEOLOGY: THE
DISCOURSE OF THE MINIMAL STATE AND FREE MARKET ECONOMY: AN
ASSESSMENT ON THE AXIS OF THE KARL POLANYİ GREAT
TRANSFORMATION
BETUL SARI
Master Student
Department of Economics, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey
World have underwent a radical transformation in the context of the economical, social, political,
cultural aspects after the Second World War. The Great Transformation was written by Karl Polanyi in
order to introduce those transformations before their materialization. Polanyi’s main thesis is that there
is no such thing as free market. He called the impossibility of an economy independent of government
and existence of the free market economy as a stark utopia. With another saying, according to Polanyi,
emergence of economic liberalism is not a spontaneous process. On the contrary, such an economic
structure requires state intervention intensively. This case is still evident with some experiences. As
known after the Second World War, Keynesian doctrine showed its effect almost until mid 1970s.
During this period, measures in order to increase the power of the state system have accelerated and
‘’interventionist state’’ approach was adopted. Oil crises of 1970s enables the economic system to
remodeling with neoliberal order. After those cases, state became the main supporter of the
deregulation, liberalization and privatization procedures in many countries. On the other hand, the
2008 crisis have proved the impossibility of the free market and also the necessity of the state
intervention for the continuation of the economic system. As emphasized by the Polanyi, the
functioning of the market system always depends on the legal, administrative and regulatory
interventions of state. In addition to state intervention, international institutions such as the World
Bank and IMF, proposes several policies to many countries and intervenes to the world economic
system. Those cases reflected both advocation the necessity of the free market system and for the
continuation of that perpetual regulations. When viewed from the mirror of history, some events have
proved that repeatedly. The main objective of that study, realize the understanding of the free market
system with the help of the Polanyi’s Great Transformation and prove its maintenance of validity and
quality through historical perspective.

THE DESIGN MAKES THEM PROGRESSIVE…
It is one of the hardest periods for a manufacturer, to say “I can do it” for a new furniture design;
because it means that, he/she has to be working for the production/manufacturing way/process of that
design.
The interior architects/designers have to decide and know about the production process of the design;
and in order to know it, they should be experienced through the subject. But the other part of the
production, which is the manufacturer; they should also have to be open for the improvements or the
developments in order to get on with the interior architects/designers.
Because of this, new technological improvements, and design approaches should be traced with both
by the interior architects/designers and the producers. But apart from technical and production topics,
the main point is “to be open for a new idea”, which is the main point for a new design.
By this way, in order to be able to respond for the new designs of the interior architects/designers,
production identities have to have the knowledge about the subject, and should be open minded for the
subject. By having the questionnaires and/or surveys with the students, the interior
architects/designers, the business executives, the main question “What is the Impact of New Design
with the Designer and The Production Identities” will be answered. With the help of this study it will
be displayed that; we have to know and check about the professional needs for the students that they
will be facing with after their graduation, and by the help of the questions and questionnaire(s), it will
be a chance to discuss about the professional point of view related with the topic.

David Cameron's Policy on Turkey's European Union Membership Bid: From Full
Support to Exclusion
Ugur Burc Yildiz
Dr.
This study aims to explore the policy of British Prime Minister David Cameron on Turkey’s European
Union membership bid. It is argued that although Prime Minister Cameron, like his predecessors did,
had given powerful support to Turkey’s European Union membership for several reasons, such as to
weaken federalist ambitions for the European Union and prevent German-French cooperation for
deepening in the Council of the European Union, he has changed this policy in recent one and a half
years because of three important reasons. First, due to Britons’ rising concerns on the impacts of the
Syrian refugee crisis and the increasing threat of terrorism in Europe, Prime Minister Cameron clearly
saw that it became politically impossible to support Turkey’s EU membership. Second, BritainEuropean Union Agreement of 20 February 2016 provided that the Britain would not be bound to
"ever closer union" with other member states of the European Union, meaning that Britain officially
managed to save itself from participating in a possible federal Europe. Third, Prime Minister Cameron
had to announce his opposition to Turkey’s European Union membership since he saw that Leave
votes were gaining strength shortly before the Brexit referendum. In contrast with the common
argument in Turkey, the study concludes that if Britain remained in the European Union, it would no
longer support Turkey’s membership because of Britons’ mentioned rising concerns and the Britain’s
gain of special status in the European Union as a result of the February 2016 agreement.

The Role of Values in the Relationship between Political Discourse and Political
Preferences: An Analysis of Turkey’s 12 June 2011 Parliamentary Elections from a
Values Perspective
Mustafa Yilmaz
Associate Professor
Department of Public Relation and Publicity, Kocaeli University, Kocaeli, Turkey
Actions, behaviors, preferences and decisions as well as rights and wrongs of an individual all point to
a system of values. Because people’s acts and behaviors, as well as their assessment of events closely
relate to the values they hold dearly, the effects of values on political preferences constitute an
important topic of scholarly investigation.
This study aims at figuring out the range of values that are most influential in political decision
making in Turkey. This paper will examine Turkey’s 12 June 2011 parliamentary elections by
utilizing the data gathered for a TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of
Turkey) funded research project: ‘A Political Values Map of Turkey in the 2000s: An Analysis of the
Relationship between Political Discourse and Political Preference.’ It will conduct a content analysis
using the Schwartz Scale of Values. The data is drawn from the cover pages and political news pages
of five major daily newspapers representing different political ideologies: Cumhuriyet, Hürriyet,
Radikal, Yeni Şafak and Zaman for a one month period preceding the 12 June elections. This was a
period when the Ergenekon investigations were proceeding at full speed and the debates over the
possibility of Turkey’s transition to a presidential system were voiced loudly for the first time.
This paper asks what values political actors reference in their discourses. It investigates whether there
are significant similarities or differences in the discourses of winners and losers. It also examines how
politicians present and connect the different values they reference in their discourses.

People may develop false memories about past events. This is a fundamental topic both from a
theoretical (e.g. the nature of semantic knowledge) and applicative (e.g. eyewitness memory) point of
view. Emotions may play an important role when a witness try to remember an event during a trial.
We explored the role of the emotions in the production of false memories. In fact, positive and
negative emotions (such as happiness or sadness) may, respectively, broaden or restrict the focus of
attention. Given that a large part of information is outside the focus of attention in case of a negative
emotion, it can be predicted a higher number of false memories. The Deese- Roediger-McDermott
(DRM)-based paradigm allows to investigate false memories. Participants are presented with a list of
semantically-related words for learning. In a subsequent recognition memory task, people report the
presence of another semantically-related word that was not actually present. In order to enhance the
ecological validity of the research, we developed a DRM-like paradigm prose recognition memory
task by writing a short story with 10 target words and two alternate endings (happy or sad, i.e. the
experimental conditions). Participants (n = 92) were assigned to one of the two conditions and they
had to evaluate the emotion evoked by the story. After a series of filler tasks, an incidental memory
recognition test was administered. We observed that participants who read the sad story were more
likely to produce false memories. Theoretical and applicative implications for psychology are
discussed.

The impact of United Kingdom's E.U. membership referendum on European Affaires
Viron Matarangas
Dr.
İİSBF, İstanbul Bahçeşehir University, Turkey
The decision to hold a referendum in the U.K. about this State's future in the E.U. was by itself a
political event of major importance. The result in favour of leaving the E.U. might have been an
unexpected outcome even for Mr. Cameron despite the highest percentage of Euroscepticism in
Europe.
U.K.'s citizens have never wholeheartedly accepted E.U.'s fundamental rules such as the free
movement of persons including the right of establishment of E.U's citizens and the integration process.
U.K. citizens are convinced that, the transfer of the decision making power in specific sectors to
<supra-national> authorities is an antidemocratic procedure, because powerful <technocrats in
Brussels> (allusion is made to European Commission' s staff) decide about us without consulting us!
İt is to be noted that U.K. has always been and still is in favour of a free trade area, a concept
substantially different from that of the Single Market.
On the other hand, U.K. is traditionally opposed to the existence, on the opposite shore of the English
Channel, of a State or a Union of States stronger than itself!
Nowadays the German dominated E.U. has become a powerful Banking and Credit Organization.
İnstead of tanks, arms and the famous warplanes <Stukas>,
Germany uses Euro and Banks to achieve her domination in Europe.
Referendum' s real aim is to weaken E.U., loosen the institutional ties between member States and
impede further integration process.
U.K. together with USA are worried about a strong E.U. which might have sometime in the future a
European army, potentially independent of NATO.
The referendum was simply a way of putting the cat among the pigeons, and to muddy the waters.
304
The result of the referendum will make little difference. The U.K. is going to stay in the E.U. in one
form or another.

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) research has become the main area of the complex decision
problems. In literature, many technıques are used in order to solve these problems. TOPSIS
(Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) proposed by Hwang and Yoon (1981)
is one of these methods are most commonly used. According to this technique, the best alternative
would be the one that is nearest to the positive ideal solution and farthest from the negative ideal
solution. The positive ideal solution is maximizes the benefit criteria and minimizes the cost criteria,
whereas the negative ideal solution maximizes the cost criteria and minimizes the benefit criteria.
The foreign exchange market (FOREX) is the largest financial market in the world, with a volume of
over $2 trillion daily. The first step of investing in the FX market is to decide the right brokerage firm
for investors. Many criteria as spread, scalping, speed of transaction and swap etc. are affected to the
deciding of selection brokerage firms. In this study, the criteria used in the selection of brokerage
firms have been weighted by the investor and decided the brokerage firm by using TOPSİS.

Gender continuum in Italian advertising. The representation of the LGBT identities
according to the professionals
Chiara Landi, Paola Panarese
Dipartimento di Comunicazione e Ricerca Sociale, La Sapienza, Roma
Object and Research question
The paper regards the advertising practice as it relates to gender. In order to appreciate the commercial
“culture of production” (du Gay, 1997), we studied the production processes that lead to particular
gender representations. In fact, in spite of persistent criticisms of advertising’s treatment of gender
(Kilbourne, 1999), few authors have focused their attention on the production process behind the
gendered messages (Tuncay Zayer & Coleman, 2014).
In particular, the paper aims to describe some results of a research about the influence of the
production process in the Italian television commercials representation of gender. In particular, we
focus on LGBT issues emerged in the survey, in the light of a gradual spread of a gay friendly
advertising.
The specific objective of the paper is to study the reasons that lead to the representation of the entire
gender continuum in advertising - masculine, feminine and LGBT identities - differing from previous
research focused on the objectification of the female body and the roles of the dichotomy man/womanwomen .
Methods
Because the study’s aim is to understand practitioners’ thinking about the work of advertising in their
own terms and to evaluate those thoughts relative to existing theories, a qualitative design was
selected. Semi-structured in-depth interviews with senior-level agency practitioners (40 creative,
planning, and account directors working in Italy) were used as the key field method. Respondents
were selected using snowball sampling. The views on LGBT issues within the advertising have
emerged without direct questions, but the theme has naturally developed in conversation.
308
Results
First results provide evidence for the existence of such autonomous practitioner knowledge schemas.
Advertising agency professionals know well the bias of the most common representations of gender in
Italian advertising. They recognize the most frequent sex-stereotypes and are critical towards them.
They believe that gendered images are mainly caused by inexperienced operators or customers.
Regarding the specific issue of homosexuality and gender diversity, LGBT identities introduced in
some campaigns are not considered examples of a start of a recognition of the existence of a reality
characterized by a mosaic of identity or a path for a full social inclusion, but it is considered as a trivial
operation for the acquisition of new potential buyers.

The notion of "City" in the Situationist International
Ruken Aslan
Assistant Professor
Trakya Üniversitesi Güzel Sanatlar Fakültesi Karaağaç EDİRNE
The Situationist International, formed in Italy in 1957, as a collaboration between Letrist International,
IMIB (The International Movement for an Imaginative Bahaus), Cobra movement and the London
Psychogeographical Association, was one of the most radical political movements in the contemporary
art scene. A group of artists and intellectuals led by theorists such as Guy Debord and Henry Lefebvre
advocated for an approach in art whose focus was not the final product but everyday life experience.
In everyday life experience, space constitutes a very important part of how we experience ourselves
and the city. Their notion of “dérive”, an act of drifting in the city evokes Baudelaire’s image of “the
flaneur” and the city strolls of the Surrealists. However, the Situationists’ drifting in the city differs
from theirs in that “chance” hardly plays a role. They produce maps in which they examine the
psychogeographical effects of the cities on the inhabitants, considering the city as a formation of
which the individual experiences of people are also a part. The city as such contradicts with the
capitalist notion of the city as based on the consumption of commodities and a stable and unified
whole. Contrary to the capitalist subject who passively accepts and consumes what is offered , the
situationist subject takes an active stance; a subject who is political, anarchistic and playful and
continually open to communication with her/his environment.

This paper aims to investigate the role of technology gap and spillovers in the Turkish manufacturing
industry. For this purpose, a series of econometric analyses are conducted by using firm-level panel
data over 2003-2006. In our analyses, it is expected a negative correlation between technology gap and
productivity level of the firms, because it is assumed that higher technological capabilities are
necessary to benefit from the technological spillovers. Our findings produce highly significant and
negative coefficients on technology gap variable interacted with forward spillovers as expected. This
result indicate that firms with low technological capability have been benefited less from forward
spillovers, in other words, highly technological firms benefit more from the forward technology
spillovers. On the other hand, estimation results could not produce any significant evidence on
technology gap variables interacted with horizontal and backward spillovers. In sum, the estimation
results confirm the importance of the technological capabilities of the firms in order to benefit from
forward technology spillovers.

Selçuk University, Department of Economics, Room A213, Selçuklu Konya Turkey
The purpose of this research is to emprically examine the relationship between Turkey’s nuts export
quantity and its own export price by using the Koyck and Almon technics. The reason for choosing
specifically nuts industry is the importance of it in the economy. Turkey is the largest nut producer and
one of the major nuts exporters in the world. According to statistics, nearly 75 percent of the world
nuts production is carried out by Turkey. Also, the share of our country in world exports is around 70
percent. In the analysis annual time series data for the Turkey’s nuts export quantities and price are
used over the period 2000-2014. The effects of export price and its lag values on nuts exports are
seperately estimated by using Koyck and Almon technics. This analysis investigates which model
better explains the behaviour of Turkey’s nuts exports, export price and its lagged values as an
explanatory variable. According to the findings the relationship between the nuts export quantity and
export price are not explained very well by the models.

The aim of the study is to divide OECD countries into the groups with cluster analysis using heath
systems indicators based on 2000 and 2013 years, determine the position of the Turkey in 34 OECD
countries and changes in the clusters over time. The data were obtained from The Official Websites of
World Health Organization (WHO) and Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD) between June 15 and 20, 2016 and analyzed using SPSS 20.0. Satisfaction with Health
Services, Life expectancy at Birth, Infants Deaths per 1 000 live births, Difference female-male, Low
birthweight per 1000 live births, Cancer Incidence per 100 000 population, Perceived Health Status
(good or very good) and Maternal Mortality Rates have been obtained both 2000and 2013 in order to
carry out the study. According to the cluster analysis results; in 2000, Mexico, Turkey, Japan, Korea,
Estonia, Portugal, Chile and Greece have constituted a cluster and the rest countries of OECD have
constituted a different cluster. Also Mexico is the most similar country with Turkey in terms of the
Health status indicators in 2000. In 2013, some changes have been took place. The group include
Turkey have expanded with Austria, Finland, Spain, Poland, Japan. So OECD countries have been
divided into two different groups like 2000. The first group include Turkey, Austria, Finland, Spain,
Poland, Japan, Estonia, Portugal, Poland, Chile, Greece and Mexico and the rest countries of OECD
constitute the second different group. Despite some changes in the Health Status indicator, there are no
many changes between 2000 and 2013 in the groups. The position of the Turkey is not very good
compared with the developed OECD countries such as Germany, Belgium, and Norway etc.

Assistant Professor
Selcuk University, Department of Sociology, Room 213, Selcuklu Konya TURKEY
This research aims to analyze the religiosity and self-monitoring of the university students in Turkey.
In order to show the relationship between religiosity and self-monitoring, a survey conducted on 872
students of 17-26 years of age who are receiving undergraduate education at three universities.
Religiosity was measured by the Religious Orientation Scale that developed by Allport and Ross. This
scale consists of two sub-scales namely intrinsic and extrinsic. An important point here is that there
are few studies that differentiate the religiosity with fourfold typology as asserted originally by Allport
and Ross. In this study Allport and Ross’s fourfold distinction used but with mid-points not median
splits as its original version. According to Allport and Ross; intrinsic religious people find their master
motive in religion and briefly they live their religion while the extrinsic use their religion. In this type
individuals use their religion instrumentally to attain other goals. Self-Monitoring was measured by 18
items self monitoring scale originally created by Snyder. According to Snyder individuals differ in the
degree to which they monitor their self-presentation, expressive behavior, and non-verbal affective
display. Some individuals are more talented in arranging and controlling these behaviors than other
individuals. As a result, it was found that the intrinsic religiosity has a positive relationship with the
low self-monitoring while the extrinsic religiosity has a positive relationship with the high selfmonitoring.

Professor, Dr.
Celal Bayar University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Manisa/TURKEY
As the whole world, the role and the importance of urban management in the country’s development
are becoming increasingly important too in Turkey. Localization tendencies that are experienced
globally have forced local-regional initiatives to be located at the center of focus of the economic,
social and cultural development. In this way, local administration organizations, civil society
organizations and other urban actors, due to their increasing role in the local development, become
prominent for the development of the country.
New regional development understanding that is sustainable, balanced, people-oriented, flexible,
competitive, participatory and that contains the efforts of the local actors, local potentials and
dynamıcs, strategic approach and learning based activities becomes widespread and prominence.
Within this perspective, in the phase of the determination of local and regional potentials and
dynamics, their planning by using common sense with a participatory understanding and in harmony
with the national priorities and in the phase of supporting development policies and competitive
projects that are flexible, action-oriented, people-oriented and open to the distribution of roles
necessitates institutions that have locally and globally high technical capacities. In this context, local
administrations come to the fore both as an instrument to provide efficient and effective service
delivery and a democratic participation unit and becoming one of the major actors aforementioned
transformation process.
In this study the role of local governments for the local and regional development process will be
examined with special emphasis on Turkey. The subject will be analyzed for the Turkish local
governments, through considering related global developments and within the framework of current
situations and projections for the future.

Selcuk University, Department of Sociology, Room 213 Selcuklu Konya TURKEY
Within this study, the relation between the position of women and men in family and the participation
of women to education and working life will tried to be analyzed in three generations of women in a
family in Konya which is known to be a conservative town. What is tried to be understood in this
study is the evaluation of the distinction between private and public which is often used in Feminist
studies, by the 3 different generations of women in the same family. The main question here is how
women’s position in their private lives affects their attitudes towards women’s participation in
education and in working life. It is assumed that as it is seen many feminist studies, women accept
private sphere-public sphere division in their lives because they have accepted patriarchal conservative
value judgments and gender roles. In our research, whether the women who are relatively more
conservative and patriarchal in their family lives and women who have accepted relatively more
equalitarian life style, have differences in terms of the division private sphere and public sphere, is
tried to be understood. In addition the basic variables affecting these differences were analyzed. In this
context an interview was conducted with 150 women, including 50 from each three generations.
Eventually; generations, education and urban life are the main indicators of the differences that are
found in this study. Another main finding is the women who have accepted relatively more
equalitarian life style is more participated in working life and education than the women who are
relatively more conservative and patriarchal.

How women make their choices: Personal characteristics in relation to
dominant/submissive or extrovert/introvert men face preference
Lenka Selecka
Dr.
Department of Psychology, University of Ss. Cyril and Methodius, Trnava, Slovakia
Research constantly attempts to reach consensus on the answer what women prefer while making a
decision about attractive male faces. In general, bilateral symmetry of physical traits is thought to be
an important predictor for partner preference. From the psychological point of view, there is an
interconnection between certain personal characteristics and facial traits, while stable personal traits
and affections could after time be reflected in specific facial traits. Faces high in symmetry receive
higher ratings of attractiveness, health, and positive personality attributes. Thus, it could be assumed,
that women make their choices by estimation of man's personal characteristics, which are
unconsciously perceived and evaluated from their face, ergo based on the image of physical beauty.
Another question is, how their own personal characteristics influence the process of attractiveness
evaluation. In this research, the connection between females personality traits and assumed personality
trait of a male's face image is explored. The women (N=288; M=21.23y; SD=6.135) are asked to
choose the more attractive face from two possibilities; shown personality traits on the male's faces
image are introversion/extraversion and dominance/submissiveness. Personality Inventory KUD
(Miglierini, Vonkomer, 1986) is used to assess personality traits: dominance/submissiveness,
rationality/sensuality, and extraversion/introversion. The results provide evidence the women differ in
the decision about the attractiveness of male faces depending on their own personality traits. The most
preferred are the choices of an extrovert face and dominant male face. Women create two main
clusters based on the combination of preferred choice and their personality traits.

The Relationships Between PTSD, Traumatic Growth and Self-Awareness of Bankers
who are Working in the Border Town Kilis, which is Frequently Bombed by ISID: An
Experimental Study

Toros University, Bahcelievler Mh. 16. Cd. Pk:33140 Mersin, Turkey
INTRODUCTION: Kilis is a Turkish city on the border with northern Syria and since January, ISID
has been raining missiles down on Kilis. The assaults have taken the lives of 21 people, including
eight Syrian refugees, and wounded scores of others. Many buildings have been devastated. The
people mostly remain indoors, day and night. Everyday life in the town has come to a standstill as
anger against both the government and refugees has begun to boil over. OBJECTIVE: the purpose of
this study was to examine the relationships between PTSD, traumatic growth and self-awareness of
bankers who are working in Kilis, and also the effect of group counseling intervention with one week
interval between pretest and posttest. METHODS; pretest posttest design with non-equivalent control
group study with data collection by convenience sampling, through the application of Anxiety
Sensitivity Index, whose Turkish validity and reliability study was conducted, PTSD CheckList –
Civilian Version which was adapted to Turkish population Kocabaşoğlu and collequages at 2005, The
Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) and Self-Compassion Scale (Neff, K. D.
2003). The questionnaires were also given to bank workers in Adana as a control group. SAMPLE:
The sample was 9 bank workers in Kilis (mean age 33.3 ± 7.3) and 10 bank workers in Adana (mean
age 37,3± 8.8), Turkey. Gender characteristics: 5 males and 4 females in Kilis group and 5 males and
5 females in Adana group were participated. RESULTS: There was a strong positive correlation
between the total scores of The Posttraumatic Growth Inventory and Self-Compassion Scale. The
scores of Kilis group for PTSD CheckList – Civilian Version was higher compared to Adana group in
the pre-test condition. Furthermore, in the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Kilis group had higher
scores in the sub category of “positive change in interpersonal relations”. However, intervention
program did not have a significant impact on the posttest scores of Kilis group, most probably because
of ongoing bombing and short interval between pretest and posttest. CONCLUSION: the results
provide evidence showing that being exposed to life- threatening conditions can yield to symptoms of
PTSD, but at the same time it provides grounds for posttraumatic growth, since it fosters selfcompassion in the persons who are exposed to traumatic events.

Vocational School of Social Sciences, Başkent University, Ankara, Türkiye.
The progresses of modern life augment employees' needs while competitive pressures recently
increase the demands of businesses from employees. The searching for struggle methods for WorkFamily and Work-Family Conflict (WFC-FWC) which are triggered by different roles which exhibited
between the difficulties of business-life that meet economic expectations and the circumstances of
family-life that meet social expectations. In this context the primary aim of this study; to determine the
effects of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) that based on Role Theory on WFC-FWC which lead to
negative job attitudes in interaction between the members and the leader. Secondary aim is
investigation of the mediating role of Organizational Trust (OT) which have a significant impact on
employee’ attitudes on the reletionship between LMX and WFC-FWC. In accordance to these aims, a
questionnaire was used to obtain data from 363 participants employed at High-School Departments of
private schools in Ankara. The questionnaire was prepared with Scandura & Graen (1984)'s LMX
scale, Netemeyer, Boles & Mcmurrian (1996)'s WFC-FWC scale, and Bromiley & Cummings (1996)'s
OT scale. The validity of scales authenticated with multi-factor structure for WFC-FWC, and OT, with
one factor structure for LMX. The reliability of scales were calculated as Cronbach's alpha values
(LMX=0.88;WFC=0.87-FWC=0.83;OT=0.79). According to the hypothesis tests which done by
hierarchical regression analyzes showed that there are significant relationships between LMX and

Digital games have become a part of the life of particularly children and young people. Aim of the
""Programming my own game"" summer program is giving opportunity to middle school student to
create their own game by using kodu game lab.
26 sixth and seventh grade students attended to “Programming my own game” summer program for
five days. During the program the students had learnt programming via kodu game lab. Kodu is simple
visual programming environments lets kids create games on PC and Xbox. Young children can make
their own game without design and programming skills. Kodu can be used to teach creativity, problem
solving, storytelling as well as programming.
The research design of the study is qualitative in nature, more specifically; case study method is used.
Semi-structured interviews have chosen data collection methods. Interviews with 21 students attended
to the program have conducted and transcribed word by word. However, data analysis process is still
continues. Expected results of the study are evaluation of the program, evaluation of the kodu game
lab as o tool for learning programming, the students' gaining from the summer program and how the
summer program affected the students’ career preference. The summer program supported by

Assistant Professor
Department of Landscape Architect, Karadeniz Techinical University, Trabzon, Turkey
Trees that play a significant role in fulfilling the individuals’ longing for nature are among the
important components of urban ecosystem. Especially in cities under dense population pressure, plants
are needed to increase the quality of urban life. Transportation is among the most significant problems
of urban life. When planning the roads, it is necessary to consider and implement plant elements
among the maim components of the roads. Plantations that would be conducted in urban roads which
have dense load, are quite effective for driver and pedestrian traffic safety. They increase the quality of
life especially for pedestrians, who have priority in urban area. They create visual values, regulate the
urban climate and reduce the pollution. Road trees, in addition to their functional and aesthetic
contributions, make the city to achieve an identity and sustainability. Planted roads integrate with
other green areas in the city and contribute to urban open green areas.
In the present study, the effects of planting designs on urban comfort against the negative impact of
intensive use of main transportation roads in the city will be discussed. In this context, planting design
choices will be produced on Kahramanmaraş Street, which is a main transportation corridor in
Trabzon city center and vehicle-pedestrian safety and comfort will be assessed. The solutions provided
by the produced planting designs in visual quality and comfort level for the problems on the existing
transportation axis will be stressed.

Campus, İstanbul, Turkey
This study attempts to investigate the relationship between the preschool teachers’ self-regulation
levels and their levels of classroom practices to promote self-regulation. Also, the study aims to
examine the teachers’ self-regulation levels and their levels of classroom practices to promote selfregulation in relation to their age, educational background, experience, hours of preschool education
and the number of professional training programs they attended.
The participants are 465 preschool teachers who are employed in several schools around the city of
Istanbul/Turkey. The data were gathered through “Self-regulation Scale” (Aydın, Özer and Yel, 2014)
and “Preschool Teachers’ Practices to Promote Self-Regulated Learning Scale” (Adagideli, Saraç and
Ader, 2015).
Descriptive statistics analyses showed that the preschool teachers’ self-regulation levels (M=190.86,
SD=25.03) and their levels of classroom practices to promote self-regulation (M=39.33 SD=13.64) are
midlevel.
The results also indicated that there are statistically significant differences between the teachers’ self
regulation levels and their age, educational background, experience, hours of preschool education and
the number of professional training programs they attended.
There are also statistically significant differences between the teachers’ levels of classroom practices
to promote self-regulation and their age, educational background, experience, hours of preschool
education and the number of professional training programs they attended.
Pearson product moment correlation coefficient analysis showed that there is a statistically significant
positive strong relationship between preschool teachers’ self-regulation and their practices (r=.597,
p=.000).

Ataturk Faculty of Education, Marmara University , Goztepe Campus Istanbul ,Turkey
Toy preferences in early childhood have an impact on and are reflective of gender socialisation which
is considered an indicator of, amongst other things, future life decisions.The extent to which culture
affects toy preferences is the focus of a future investigation in which Turkish and British children’s
preferences and a number of related variables will be measured. Here we piloted the procedure which
comprised of an observation and a questionnaire. Nine children between four and six years of age,
who attend a public preschool in Istanbul and their parents, participated in this pilot study. Children’s
toy preferences were observed in three settings; playing(1) On their own, (2) with a group of children
of the same gender and (3) with a group of children of the opposite gender. Data relating to factors
influencing these preferences was also collected from the children themselves by asking them to
explain why they chose the toys that they did and from the children’s parents; by asking them to
observe their children during their play at home and report their preferences as well as the average
time they spend engaged in different types of play. The procedure adopted proved fit for purpose and
will be used in the main study investigating cross cultural differences in gender-typed play and the
extent to which a number of other factors, such as gender, educational level of the parents, gender of
the child and cultural beliefs are related to gender stereotyped play.

Görükle Campus, 16059 Nilüfer/Bursa.
The resource allocation and use is one of the most discussed issues in the world. Especially in a
globalizing world, a country which ignores performance, unable to use correctly its resources, and to
adopt right form of government and lack of keeping pace with innovation, would be underdeveloped
regardless of its public or private sector organizations. In this study, financial efficiency of the
metropolitan municipalities in Turkey which is very important in the local authorities is investigated.
In this efficiency research, conventional data envelopement analysis allowing use of multiple input
and output as a non-parametric linear programming based method and fuzzy data envelopement
analysis were used. When we investigate financial structure of metropolitan municipality in Turkey,
its dependence on central government with income is an outstanding feature of the municipalities.
With this regard, variables which can be influenced by the municipality have been taken as an input in
the generated input oriented model. We determined three inputs and three outputs. The input-oriented
data envelopment analysis of 16 metropolitan municipalities in Turkey was conducted under constant
returns to scale (CRS) assumption and variable returns to scale (VRS) assumption. According to the
CRS efficiency score and the VRS efficiency score, six municipalites and five municipalities were
relatively inefficient, respectively. Thus, we suggest that the inefficient metropolitan municipalities
might be changed with certain rates for becoming more effective.

Augmented Reality (AR) is described as enriching real world’s objects with using materials like
sounds, images, 3 dimensional figures and animations and delivering the created content to users. AR
has lots of potential application area in industry, medicine, tourism and education.
Computer aided education materials have been developed for engineering education for many years.
Naturally, the majority of this content works only on computers and is not able to interact with the real
world. Along with the popularization of portable devices, educational contents have started to be
developed compatible with these devices. However, such studies are new and they only transfer old
education materials to portable devices. AR allows users to interact with real world while using
education materials. The current studies show that the students are highly motivated to use education
materials which developed with AR. In this study, we mentioned AR application which is being
developed for Data Structure Course on Computer Engineering curriculum.

Department of Landscape Architecture, University of Nevsehir Haci Bektas Veli, Nevsehir, Turkey
Human and the traces of the human are the basic elements of the landscape. It is possible to see
different lifestyles in all landscapes caused by human activities. The landscape resulted by this
interaction is defined as a “cultural landscape”. Cultural landscapes are the results of the culture
reflection to spaces. It varies according to the culture of the communities living on and constitutes the
identity of its geography. Traditional houses as a resource of cultural landscape are examples of civil
architecture which reflect the natural, social and historical features of a region. In the cultural richness
of Anatolia, courtyards of the traditional houses have an important role in the development of house
plans. Courtyard, which is transition space between the house and street, is gathering and distribution
area of the house and social area where a lot of daily needs are met.
Avanos is one of the most important settlements in Cappadocia region located on the Assyrian Trade
Road and Silk Road. The settlement, which has a horizontal development along the northern and
southern shores of the Kızılırmak River, is an important attraction center in terms of tourism with its
city pattern and cultural landscape resources. This study aims to demonstrate the features of the
traditional courtyard house in Avanos bearing the traces of unique natural and geological structure
with different beliefs and cultures.
In the study, relationships between house, courtyard and street are evaluated. Besides, design features
of the courtyard, the current uses, plant materials and changes occurred in the courtyard landscape in
time are identified. As a result, the requirement of the protection of traditional houses and their
courtyard properties are highlighted as an important part of cultural tourism in Cappadocia region.

The impact of oil price on macroeconomics in the developed and developing oil
exporting countries: A panel data analysis
Sabit BAIMAGANBETOV
PhD Student
Department of Economics, Akhmet Yassawi University, Kazakhstan
In recent years, a large body of literature has focused on the links between oil prices and
macroeconomic variables. The effects of oil price on macroeconomics are expected to be different in
oil importing and in oil exporting countries. Namely, an oil price increase (decrease) should be
considered good (bad) news in oil exporting countries and bad (good) news in oil importing countries.
Most of the studies assume that the relationship between oil prices and macroeconomic aggregates to
be linear and estimate it by using standard linear VAR (Vector Autoregressive) model and
cointegration framework. This paper assesses empirically the effects of real Brent oil price on the
economic growth, real exchange rate and inflation for the quarterly period 2001-2015 in 14 oil
exporting countries by using panel unit root test and panel cointegration analysis. The empirical
findings show that the oil prices have an impact on economic growth and real exchange rate for oil
exporting countries.

We live in an eradominated by the neoliberal governmentality. The most basic characteristic that
differentiates this type of power from others is that it hascapacity topenetrate in every area of society
throughself-improving governing strategies.The governmentality of our age dominates
individuals’attitudes and personality. However, it achieves it not by utilizingcoercion but regulating
individuals’social space. Thus, individualsbelieve that every decision is their choice. In this way,
power ceaselessly updates itself and guarantees its continuity.
Then, we should ask,what are the tools of this type of ruling? It will be claimed in this study that the
most basic tool of ruling is togenerate risk perception in the minds of individuals. As such, it is
considered that the generated risk perception provides the desired basis in order to effectually
construct new subject(ivities). Adopting an approach that takes risk to center, from social relations to
working life, from ideas about city and space to future plans and expectation would provide a better
understanding of both these subject(tivities) and the trust mechanisms developed by those subjects.
This study involves in-depth interview data from 32 participants in order to base the discussions of the
study and also make sense of composition of social life and relations.

Conditions for Granting Legal Aid in Civil Proceedings in Respect of Decisions of the
European Court of Human Rights
Mehmet Ertan YARDIM
Assistant Professor
Cibali Campus, Kadir Has University, Fatih, Istanbul
In the resolution of civil conflicts, a litigant shall cover primarily a serious financial burden such as
court charges, expenses of proceedings and maybe the fee of a lawyer, if he or she is represented by a
lawyer. Court charges, expenses of proceedings and the fee of a lawyer can cause very high
remuneration, when they add up. It is possible that someone, who does not have the financial means to
find that sum of money, cannot have access to a court. Denial of bringing a claim before the court due
to the lack of sufficient financial resources, can be considered as a violation of the sixth article of the
European Convention on Human Rights and the right to a fair hearing. As a result of this possibility,
legal aid laws and systems have been established to ensure the right of access to a court.
The right to appointed free lawyer is not guaranteed in civil proceedings and in dispute in criminal
proceedings according to the European Convention on Human Rights. In this manner, one of the
issues that we have to discuss is to determine who will be granted a legal aid lawyer or legal aid in
general. Conditions of granting legal aid shall be determined very precisely. A statement of too loose
conditions can cause the abuse of the system; on the other hand, can too tight conditions cause a denial
of the right of access to the courts. We try to evaluate conditions of granting legal aid in respect of
decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and consider articles in Turkish law and some other
foreign law systems.

In societies faced with the challenges of globalization, neoliberal populism presents itself as an answer
to the so-called crisis of representation. Paradoxically this new version of populism is defined as
political strategy that enable personalist leaders with a charismatic appeal to constitute a direct
relationship with atomized masses, and to outweigh the political parties and the control mechanisms of
a democratic regimes.(Roberts 1996, 2003, 2006, Weyland 1999a, 1999b, Knight 1998, Connif 1999)
Neoliberalism also serves as complementary policy framework of this rising form of populism in
countries and regions that present different historical and socioeconomic contexts as well as diverse
levels of prosperity, inequality and poverty. Thus, in a comparative perspective, this paper is interested
to see how the rise of neoliberal populism as a new political trend affects democratization process in

Gulsen Atas, Kayhan Delibas
Adnan Menderes University, Science and Literature Faculty,Sociology Department, C Block, Aydın
Identity is one of the significant concepts thathas been frequently discussed since the last quarter of
twentieth century. The visibility of identityhas increased in the politicalsphere rather than other areas
which in turnlead to the emergence of “identity politics”. Thus, an identity-based political
approachreplaced a class-based political approach.
Identity politics in Turkey began to be conceived as a serious issue in the 1980s. From then on, sphere
of political debate has been limited to the topic of“Islamist Identity Politics” emerging in a religious
context. The emphasis of identity politics on the “difference” ensured its continuity. Thus, identity
politics begun to undermine social and political integration.
Although the religious identity politics that originated in Ottoman Empire and was carried on by
National Vision Movement had been interrupted by February 28 period (1998), it has reached a new
dimension with the rate of votes AKP gained in 2002.AKP declared itself as “conservative
democrat”,avoided usingthe religious symbolismopenly and crudely andemphasized its democratic
role.
In this study, the rise of Political Islam experienced post 1980 in Turkey will be discussed within the
context of identity politics and politics of difference. Furthermore, there will be an attempt to
comprehend the present situation. In addition, study will try to focus on how AKP is perceived and
assessed by their electors for fifteen years regarding its discourse on keeping religious identity in the
background.

The historical geography is a part of the human geography to relate with the geographies of the past
time and with the impact of the past in shaping the geographies of the other times. Geography is very
important to history because it shapes the next time of a culture or civilization. Geography is important
because it is a main factor in why people choose to live where they do, in how much the people come
into contact with others outside their region how battles are fought. Geography can affect all aspects of
the people who live in each geographical region.
Historical Geography has been accepted as a title belonging to the research of the development of
geography for a long period. Dating from XIX. century a new understanding managed studies of this
area that stands on geography in historical sense. However this area gained importance in XX. century
by taking in hand the geographical effect on historical events and thus some new studies can be done.
Nowadays historical development is widely considered in human researches and the problems are
discussed in a perspective featuring by the methods of historical geography. Furthermore, the studies
that take into consideration the effects of geographical elements namely geographical potential to
behaviors of societies or dealing a human presence in a definite place gained importance for the ones
accepting this discipline. For that reason in order to use the historical materials successfully historical
geographer must have the aim and the model that is always in mind of the geographer.
This study investigates concepts of geography, history, historical geography and so on; The survey
investigates approaches to the teaching of geography, resources of geographic and historical,

Tourism is the most rapidly growing industry in the world. Ten percent of the worldwide revenues
originate in the tourism industry. At the same time, 1/9 of the current employment is in the tourism.
Today, due to overpopulation and related increase in built environment, providing the required oxygen
for people became a recreation activity. In time, decreasing oxygen amounts due to increasing
population enhance the risk of individuals to come down with illnesses. Thus, individuals do not only
attend recreation activities to have fun or to rest, but also need to participate in these activities for
health reasons. Environmental resources, especially forests are among the significant factors that could
serve health tourism. Forests are becoming health centers focused on tourism with their climatic and
flora/fauna characteristics. Forest resources are open tourism centers provided for people. In our age,
demand to forest resources is increasing and among these demands, nature oriented tourism activities
lead others.
The most significant reason behind the increase in forest and nature tourism activities during recent
years is the increasing urban population. People have to cope with dense environmental problems such
as air and noise pollution, concretion, etc. Individuals who have to spend their days in indoors need to
change the quality in spaces they live and work. Reflections of this need onto the tourism industry
highlight new pursuits.
The possibilities that forests can present to individuals would have significant effects on human health
and contribute to national economy as long as these sctivities are conducted in a rational and
systematic manner. In the present study, forest tourism and the role of forests in health tourism will be
discussed. The facilities and recreation possibilities that forest lands would provide in health tourism
will be identified. Its effects on physical and mental health of individuals will be determined in detail.

There is a consistently rural-urban migration due to for reasons such as the rapid growth of the world
population, rising living standards and employment opportunities all over the world. This makes life in
the cities increasingly difficult and brings with it many problems. After the 1990s, urban agriculture
concept comes to the fore for fulfill the need of food of increasing urban population.
Urban agriculture includes all of the operations for the purpose of growing food products which the
city needs. Urban agriculture areas provide opportunity to agricultural production, for recreaction and
socialisation environments of citizens and also contribute to urban green areas in term of ecological in
the cities.
Ankara Atatürk Tree Farm which is established on an area of 330 hectares in 1923 in Ankara. The
farm is the one of the contemporary civilization project of Turkish Republic with all of the details that
from the choice of area where it has been established, to fiction of agriculture, industry, manufacture
and entertainment. This project which has the feature of urban forest, is one of the most
environmentally-conscious projects have been implemented around the world as well as in Turkey.
From this point of view, a model “Ankara Atatürk Tree Farm” that generates a new approach for urban

Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey
Capital cities are identified as distinctive space. This shows the way of centralization as economical,
social, physical and spatial situation in which country its’ capital. Producing central national space, a
capital is possible by defining which one is politically and economically organized. To define
politically and economically organized, is possible by determining its mode of production. This
production, by its definition, separates economic and political institutionally, but this separation
doesn’t effect constitutive holism of economical and political which are keystones of sustaining the
production. Formational capitalist mode of production is observed under the history of producing
English national market as economical and parliamentary state organization as political of English
capitalism. This historicity is concretized in London. Capitalist mode of production ensured market
and state balance in London but when the mode of production began spreading a different interaction
among state and market is required. These separate, capitalist countries as formative, derivative and
circle. In this context, Britain represents the formative, France, Germany and USA represents
derivative and circle tells the countries that capitalized after 20th century. Variety that appears after
capitalist mode of production makes difference in institutionalizing of central capitals as physically
and socially as well as making a balance difference between market and state. Within this scope,
economy based London, political centralisation and absolute monarchy based Paris and Ankara as -the
symbolic and political founder of nation state after an empire- capital cities examples will be studied
under the discussion of capitals in formative, derivative and circle capitalisms.

A number of factors determine a person’s character, belief, behavior and their internal locus of control.
One in particular, is birth order, that is, where the child is placed in regards to his or her other siblings
within the family constellation.
Additionally, the environment and the interplay of the family dynamics also help to crystallize certain
behavioral patterns. This study focuses on birth order in respect to the first born. In a qualitative
analysis conducted, two new areas were manifested. These areas are separate from what other
researchers have already posited. The data revealed that first born are less likely to become parents due
to an early assumption of parental role. This seemed to have been the case where younger siblings
were present in the household. In addition to this finding, the data also revealed that first born,
especially, females tend to have a tumultuous relationship with their mothers. This estranged
relationship results from the first born early role of a surrogate mother.

Along with urban planning and policies focused on economic issues, urban areas appeared as rent
areas. The conception of urban rent which is identified unearned and valued revenue has endogenized
as a part of cities. For last decades urban renewal policies and adjustments, arisen in the urban faces,
mostly turned into ground rent to urban rent. In this study main question is urban renewal triggered
urban rent? Besides this study will be searched how to distribute urban rent, which institutions
collaborate with each other and how to protect urban rights for public in the frame of local democracy.
This study aimed to execute which actors how to turn into a ground rent to urban rent after urban
renewal and draw map route to optimise urban rent in Turkey. In the first part, the form changes from
ground rent to urban rent will be described using by national and international literature searching and
the differences and similarities between ground rent and urban rent revealed by arguing. In the second
part, the relation between urban renewal and urban rent will discuss the on the basis of urban renewal
philosophy instantiate examples of some countries. In the third part, Turkey will be evaluated by using
relevant regulations in the frame of actors, roles and responsibilities. In the suggestion part, this study
will be made a comparison between Turkey and other countries and built a fair and applicable model
for urban rent practices in the context of local democracy specific to targeted urban rights.

Mariateresa Gammone, Francesco Sidoti
Piazzale Salvatore Tommasi (Coppito) Università dell'Aquila- L'Aquila 87100 - ITALY
Can legality be taught or is it assimilated by the immediate environment? Is it a
spontaneous human tendency, or is it enforced by public power? The main result is the idea that self
control is given more by habits than anything else, including education and rule of law. Institutions
and educationists try to change and influence habits, and do achieve some result, but habits cannot
change in a day, because they are embodied first in the flesh then in the mind. Habituation to legality
is a matter of surviving centuries and coercive surroundings.

on active employees in health organizations that have to function to serve fair and equally to everyone.
With this objective the nepotism scale developed by Büte and Tekarslan in 2010 and the
organizational justice scale which took place in Colquitt’s research in 2001 were adapted to be used in
health organizations and applied on the healthcare staff working in a university hospital, a state
hospital and a private hospital in Muğla. The scope of the study consists of 246 staff of three different
hospitals.
The study analyzes nepotism and organizational justice in terms of educational level, demographical
data, years of service and group of staff. As the data does not show a normal distribution, in order to
analyze data non-parametric tests were used. The relationship between nepotism and organizational
justice was tested with correlation analysis. The study found out that General Organizational
perceptions of participants is a little above the average level which is 2,95 ± 1,08. General nepotism
perception is on the level of 3,43 ± 1,03.

Department of Turkish Language and Literature, Akhmet Yassawi University, Kazakhstan
Literature is a beautiful image of life, and is closely connected with the history of the people and the
history of literature.
The art of artistic expression is a view of the spiritual life of country and as its significant domain was
formed and developed with the history of the country. If we consider the human mind, creative
thinking as a historical phenomenon that develops in thousand years, then the literature is undeniable
achievement of an idea of art in the history of mankind.
It is obvious that it took thousands of years to the formation of Kazakh nation as in iron age they were
the tribes of saks, gun, usun, kangly; in ancient middle age states were karluk, ogyz, kymaktribes;
developed middle age states were naimans, kereits, zhalayrs kypshaks, and we can say that the history
of Kazakh literature did not start in the XV century as it is stated in former Soviet times, it started
from ancient times.
Therefore, the history of the national literature is one of the main issues of periodization.Because
before the independence of Kazakhstan, the problem of periodization in two thousand years old
Kazakh literature had not been investigated.
That’s why this article deals with the revealing of sources of kazakh literature, dividing the
distribution of the periods in the history of Kazakh literature went through a long history. In addition,
to investigate its development ways , divide into periods and promote scientific works to generation.
And we will also consider the teaching ways .

The aim of the study is to work on the effect of social capital and knowledge sharing on patient safety.
Although the studies included both in the national and international literature serve a significant
amount of information to discuss the progress in the field, it is found out that studies on the effects of
social capital, which influences how hospitals act, and knowledge sharing on patient safety are scarce.
Therefore, it is possible to state that there is a significant shortage. Our study which aims at
contributing to the lack of studies in the field preferred to choose nurses working in a private hospital
as the research sample. The reason to prefer nurses is that they are in a medium position in the health
service area and that they have an important role and function both of which determine the level of
quality of health service given. This is a cross-sectional area study. Data will be collected over survey
method and quantitative method will be followed. The survey will follow 5 scale likert method
developed by Chang, et al. (2011). The first part of the study will consist of questions determining
demographical information about the nurses and the second part will consist of questions determining
social capital, knowledge sharing and patient safety. By testing whether levels of social capital
(including social interaction, trust and shared vision) support individual knowledge sharing directly or
not the study is going to search for the effect of knowledge sharing on patient safety. In order to test
the data collected SPSS program will be used.

Department of Education Science, University of Uludag, Turkey
The concept of abuse is researched in a wide range of spectrum such as physical, sexual, emotional
and economical. A closer look to researches which had been already done showed that researchers
gave special consideration to emotional abuse and they had difficulty to embody the concept. The
evidences showed that the difficulty of defining the concept arises due to the facts that the emotional
abuse encompasses the other kinds of abuse, it accompanies the other abuses and its hardness of
drawing limits. The concept of emotional abuse would be defined as exposure to abasement and
aggressive behaviors, exclusion, to be criticized constantly, unsatisfied need for love, undervaluation.
In that respect, it is to be wondered the effect of negative emotions that are resulted from these
experiences on general wellbeing. The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between teacher
candidates’ perception of emotional abuse level and general wellbeing. The study was conducted with
432 participants who are students in the Education Department of Uludağ University. Descriptive
statistics were used as a method in this study. The datas were gathered by “Emotional Abuse
Perceived Scale” (Ersanlı, Yılmaz ve Özcan; 2013) and “Psychological Well-being Scale” (Telef,

Cultural practices and human rights

Cultural practices such as female genital mutilation or bride kidnapping, until recently, were
phenomenons that affected certain cultures and regions of the world. Currently, through the issue of
immigration and population movements, they began to appear in various parts of the world and
become global problems. It is estimated that in the European Union there are approx. 500 000 women
who have undergone genital mutilation. The consequences of these treatments are often long-lasting
pain, infectious diseases, and in many cases premature death. In Germany and Canada, the courts
impose lower penalties for perpetrators of honor killings, justifying these acts as cultural premises. In
Kyrgyzstan, every third marriage is arranged with a previously kidnapped woman, against her will,
and the perpetrators of such acts who are at the same time future spouses are unpunished, because their
guilt is difficult to prove. The aim of this work is to analyze cultural practices on the examples of
female genital mutilation, honor killings and bride kidnapping in the context of human rights.

SIMMEL PRIMA DI MCLUHAN Forme, media e percezione
Federico Tarquini
Dr.
Dipartimento Coris, Sapienza Università di Roma, Roma, Italia
I fondamentali studi di Georg Simmel sulla metropoli sulla moda e sul denaro fissano il momento in
cui la vista assume una condizione predominante nelle modalità percettive impiegate dall’individuo
nella comprensione del mondo. La vista, nella metropoli, serviva per interpretare il moltiplicarsi dei
segni, delle immagini pubblicitarie, e dei simboli del potere, racchiusi dentro un dato monumento
celebrativo. Tale senso veniva assunto come presupposto all’esercizio intellettuale della persona,
stabilendo pertanto il suo primato sia sul versante della percezione che su quello della costruzione del
sé.
La frattura tra l’individuo e il resto del suo mondo venutasi a creare a seguito delle nuove condizioni
di vita tipiche della metropoli, sembra poter essere l’humus che permetterà la fioritura del sistema
novecentesco dell’industria culturale. Questo perché tale separazione innescò una specifica
disposizione dell’uomo ad usare – su questo tema insisterà molto de Certau – le immagini e i simboli
disseminati nel suo quotidiano per ricostruire il senso della propria esistenza e della propria
esperienza. La metropoli, in senso assoluto, appare come il laboratorio in cui trovare in nuce le
condizioni di possibilità che garantiranno lo sviluppo novecentesco del sistema dei media. Tutto ciò
porta ad una ridefinizione radicale del concetto di medium, non più inteso come mero strumento, ma
come metafora del tempo storico corrente. Lo studio della metropoli tende, pertanto, a coincidere con
lo studio dei media, laddove appare chiaro che le forme storiche, così come le forme di conoscenza,
siano in-formate dal medium culturalmente egemone.
I concetti di forma, medium, sensi e modalità percettive hanno caratterizzato l’opera simmeliana,
offrendo un punto di vista fondamentale per comprendere l’evoluzione novecentesca dell’industria
culturale. Il paper si propone di mostrare quanto tali concetti abbiano caratterizzato, direttamente e
indirettamente, le più importanti teorie che Marshall McLuhan ha offerto agli studi dei processi
culturali e comunicativi. Con ciò si vuole delineare un approccio teorico, discendente da questi due
autori, capace di misurarsi con le questioni sollevate ancora oggi dai media digitali

Marketing activities of marinas take a great percentage of their running costs same as other businesses.
Nevertheless, the factors that create marketing budget in marinas differs from other businesses as;
sponsorships, attendance to expos, international memberships and price cuts. Therefore, efficiency
measurement of marketing activities play a critical role for executives to create suitable marketing
strategies. The main aim in this study is to measure the efficiency of marketing strategies of the
marinas which take place in Turkey by using Data Envelopment Analysis. This Analysis is a special
application of linear programming which is mainly used to evaluate production and service efficiency
of corporations that have the same purpose and aim. In other words, Data Envelopment is a nonparametric efficiency evaluation analysis improved for similarly economic units which have multiple
good and service inputs and outputs. Literature and expert views are gathered to determine input and
output variables in this application. In this study three inputs and also three outputs are chosen. The
inputs are the number of personnel, total yacht capacity and running costs including operational and
marketing. The outputs are total income, marinas occupancy rate and customer satisfaction. By using
the results of the study non-efficient marketing activities are determined and some suggestions have
been made.

NOTES ABOUT THE LEGAL STATUS OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSETS AND THE
PROTECTION REGIME IN TURKISH LAW
Mehmet Akif Bardakci, Sevim Budak
Dr., Assoc. Prof.
University of Istanbul, Faculty of Political Sciences, Gülhane Campus, Alemdar Mah. Soguk Cesme
Sok. Fatih/Istanbul
As it is impossible to give a complete definition or list of environmental assets, it is also impossible to
subject these assets to the same legal status.
The criteria in determining the legal status of environmental assets are to protect these assets, and to
ensure these assets are transferred to the next generations. In this context, the divisions between public
and private law in terms of assets are taken into consideration in order to protect the environmental
assets. Because of the insufficiency of the protection regime that private law provides for assets,
public law stood out in determining the legal status of environmental assets.
However, subjecting the legal status of environmental assets to public law is not efficient enough to
solve the problems about the protection of these assets. One reason for this is that the legal status that
public law, and administrative law in particular provides for the assets is inspired from private law.
Other reasons can be listed as the absence of conceptual unity, the disorganization of the legislation,
and the absence of provisions about many issues in the legislation. The law enforcement authorities of
public corporate entities in protecting the public assets do not exceed the context of general
administrative law enforcement authorities.
As a result, in determining the legal status of environmental assets, by embracing the idea of a
protection regime that excludes the government, which is the subject of both the national law and
international law, is irrational; we believe that a protection environment on a minimum level can only
be created by referring to private provisions about each environmental asset, in the existing legislation
about public assets.
This study will aim to make suggestions about the necessary regulations to protect the environmental
assets and to transfer them to the next generations, after elaborating the approaches about the legal
status of environmental assets and the situation in the positive Turkish law.

The Public Relations (PR) discipline which started to show itself as “press relations” during the ‘60’s
in the public sector started its existence in the private sector in the 1980’s. However at the present
moment, it is not possible either to talk about a common conception and a reputable process both in
conceptual and practical terms along with the ethical principles.
This study, departed from the ground of determining certain problems in recognizing and
understanding the public relations discipline as a profession and its rightful social perception and
recognition. Starting from this opinion, the study has the objective of exposing the basic problems
related with a common perception about the public relations discipline and of making an analysis over
the professional organisations which are the most important stakeholders to provide support in
eliminating such problems.
The basis of our study has the objective of making a comparative analysis of the PR professional
organisations which have activities in Turkey, determining the deficiencies of the professional
organisations and posing a proper model in terms of forming a public relations perception in Turkey,
starting from the studies of the PR professional organisations in England for improving the reputation
of the profession. Within this framework, the conceptual framework of public relations and the basic
reasons for the lack of forming a common perception in terms of the professional organisations, the
main perception problems of the public relations in Turkey and the findings about managing the
process shall be shared.

Traditionally, when a visitor visits a museum, it may take a brochure/headphone to be informed about
the objects or a guide gives guidance to it. In all cases the visitor is passive. Namely, It cannot interact
with the objects. Additionally, the guidance is limited with audio. Visitor experiences can be improve
with using mobile augmented reality (AR). Augmented reality can be described as enhancing realworld objects with artificial objects such as voice, video or 3 dimensional drawings and interactions. It
is possible to turn a smartphone into a museum guide with using augmented reality technology. AR is
more than audio guidance. It is possible to develop interactive guidance applications with using AR. In

Metropolitan municipality has been one of the important social issues in many countries and this is
one of the main issues of metroplitan areas among the various problems since the 20th century.
Metropolis/Metropolitan city has emerged due to the expanding of the metroplitan cities and
amalgamating with other annexed towns based on the rapid urbanisation during three industrialization
periods and especially along with the third industrialization period. The terms such as Metropoltan
area, metropolis and metropolitan municipality are used for each of them. Metropolis is defined as a
country’s biggest city which has control over urban and social groups around this area in point of
economical and social ways and where socio-economical relations of country with other countries can
be done or in this sense and coutrywide, a city of the coutry’s cities. Besides, Metropolitan cities are
such cities where they have large population, industry and service sectors have developed when
compared with the neigbour cities.
Turkey has experienced an urbanisation process since 1950 and so population with economical
activities has started to be accumulated in metropolitan cities. Along with Ankara and İzmir, especially
a large amount of population has been accumulated in İstanbul and around these provinces, alot of
small residences has emerged. After that the issue of governing of metropolitan cities has started to be
on the agenda. In this context, there were some legislature drafts to solve the issue of governing of
metropolitan cities but none of them were enacted until 1980. Since 1980, Turkey has met with
metropolitan municipality models legally and after that time, metropolitan municipality models
suggesting either some temporary and short solutions or long term solutions have been implemented in
Turkey.
In this study, metropolitan municipality models has been evaluated from 1980 up to now and
effectiveness and applicability of these models have been discussed.

It is a well known fact that Italian immigrants who arrived in Russia in the period of reign of Peter the
Great played an important role in the development of the Russian Empire. Foremost among them were
architects, artists, merchants, doctors and officers whose professional skills helped to build up St.
Petersburg, capital city of Russian Empire, which in course of time became closer to the Western
Europe in terms of culture. We also know that their children who was born in Russia called it as their
homeland and spoke Russian as their native language. One of these Italian children was Mikhail
Ivanovich Scotti (Michel Angelo Pietro Scotti), Russian painter of Italian origin. He was born in St.
Petersburg on October 29, 1814. His father, Giovanni Battista Scotti, was the decorative painter
invited to Russia by Giacomo Quarenghi. During his life, Mikhail Scotti had drawn a lot of paintings,
icons and frescoes and many times traveled to Italy. Furthermore, he visited Istanbul, where he painted
icons for Russian Embassy. But despite of his achievements, he has never gained international fame.
In this paper, we want to tell about the life of the artist and his works; by this way, we plan to show his
place in Russian and in Italian Art.

Local Taxes and Tax Compliance: The Theoretical Analysis From The Perspective Of
Local Taxes in France
Selçuk İpek
Associate Professor
Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi Biga İİBF Maliye Bölümü Biga-Çanakkale
Since tax is generally regarded as the transfer of purchasing power of individuals to the public sector
without quid pro quo, tax is seen as a financial burden by the most of the taxpayers. However, the
most important source of revenue to finance public needs is also tax. Therefore, the complete and
timely fulfillment of tax obligations of the taxpayer (tax compliance) are extremely important to
achieve the objectives related to taxation.
The factors affecting tax compliance must be identified in a good way in order to increase the tax
compliance of taxpayers. There are many factors determining the tax compliance of tax payers. We
can classify them as individual and environmental factors. While individual factors can be listed as
ability to pay, and tax awareness and ethics, social and demographic factors can be listed as the
acceptance of political authority, loyalty to the government, the opinion of taxpayers on other
taxpayers, the compatibility of the public services with the preferences of taxpayers and the effects of
the efficient use of public expenditures on taxpayers. The environmental factors can be listed as tax
justice, the frequent change and the complexity of tax legislation, tax rates, the frequency of tax
amnesties, lack of document order and underground economy, lack of effective implementation of tax
penalties, and the prevalence of tax exclusions and exemptions.
The sharing of services between central and local governments also requires the sharing of revenue
sources in the public service process. After the sharing of revenue sources, both administrations want
to collect revenue sources, in particular taxes, in an efficient way. However, the level of tax
compliance can affect the income sources of those administrations. The views of taxpayers in terms of
the factors affecting tax compliance vary from the view point of central government taxes and local
taxes.
In this study, the concept of tax compliance is primarily dealt with. After listing the factors that
determine tax compliance, the positive and negative aspects of local taxes are revealed theoretically.
Finally, local taxes in France are evaluated theoretically in terms of such factors.

AN OVERVIEW OF THE MINORITY RIGHTS IN JOINT STOCK COMPANY
UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF NEW TURKISH COMMERCIAL CODE
Ebru Tuzemen Atik
PhD Student
Karamanoglu Mehmetbey University, 70100, Karaman, Turkey
The new Turkish Commercial Code which was put into use in 2011 has strengthened the rights of
minorities in joint-stock companies by providing a more rational view. Minority rights are one of the
protective rights and serve the purpose of ensuring democracy within the company and to prevent the
domination of the majority over the minorities. This is an important issue in terms of protecting the
rights of shareholders in joint stock companies that are a type of stock corporation whose shareholders
are often not closely related to each other. However, the balance of benefits should be established in a
healthy way while ensuring the protection of minority rights. Indeed, during the practice of former
(repealed) Turkish Commercial Code, the functioning of minority rights in the company had
sometimes faced with the causing of congestions. Therefore, the new code has offered rational
solutions like the purchase of minority shares in some cases to the majority shareholders. Thus, on the
one hand, minority rights have been strengthened and on the other hand, it intends to solve the
problems arising from the application of the company's operation with practical methods in the
exercise of these rights. This study aims to provide a general view about the improvements and the
alterations introduced with regard to minority rights in joint-stock companies by comparing the former
and the present code in Turkish law.

Numerous people were obliged to emigrate due to worry about their lives and adverse living
conditions caused by the civil war in Syria. Obviously, this situation affects the children who
immigrate to different countries with their families most. A number of measures were taken in Turkey
so that the future of child refugees would be affected as least negatively as possible. One of these
measures is to provide the Syrian children with the opportunity to continue their education at various
educational institutions. The aim of this study is to address the problems that Syrian child refuges in
Turkey encounter in education. This study was designed as a qualitative research. Interviews with
Syrian children in Tokat were performed using semi-structured interview technique. The data obtained
were analyzed using content analysis technique.
It was found in the study that Syrian child refugees were having difficulty in adapting the educational
institutions. As a result of the interviews, the participants emphasized that they were having problems
because of their lack competency in Turkish language, and consequently they were having difficulty in
communicating with their peers and teachers and felt excluded. Moreover, it was observed that the
participants had problems with understanding curriculum.

Entrepreneurship has an important place in the economic development and progress of countries.
Therefore, it is important for individuals to have the spirit of entrepreneurship today.
Locus of control has an important effect on individuals’ viewpoints about events depending on having
either internal or external locus of control. Individuals with internal locus of control are more
successful, bold, and self-confident and they perceive the opportunities much faster. These are also the
characteristics of successful entrepreneurs.
In this study, the relationship between FEAS students’ locus of control and their entrepreneurship
tendency was investigated. Within this context, the problem of this study is to determine whether the
students studying at the departments of Business Administration, Economy, Public Administration and
Finance had internal or external locus of control and to determine the relationship between their locus
of control and entrepreneurship tendency. As the data collection tools, Entrepreneurship Scale, which
was developed and validated by Yılmaz and Sünbül (2009), and Internal-External Locus of Control
Scale, which was developed by Rotter (1966) and adapted into Turkish by Dağ (1991), were used. 506
students filled in the scales. 424 of them were suitable for data analysis. The analysis process is
ongoing.

"The eery institution of family in ‘ Amour ‘
Pass to the dark side with Haneke"
SABİRE SOYTOK
Assistant Professor
Dokuz Eylul University Fine Arts Faculty of the Department of Film Design, İzmir, Turkey
Since Haneke started to shot movies, he has been telling stories of middle class european families.In
order to show the similarities in european society, the director dont even change the names of the
characters.In his movies, the woman name is Anne, the man name is George and the girl name is Eva.
The common point of these families are their problem with communication and the unexpected things
that happens to them. They try to resolve by themselves the problems they encounter in modern life.
We watch Anne and George trying to resolve the problems they face in everyday’s life.
The director takes interest in the ‘mean’ and ‘dark’ side. This is why violence is the main problem : he
researches its root. Sometimes you may see a violence with no reason (Ölümcül Oyunlar) or
sometimes a person running from his past and taking a new identity (Saklı) or an unknown apocalypse
(Kurdur Günü).
In his movies, he shows, persons experiencing identity problems and communicating problems. And
this is shown trough one of the safest place known: the family.
Anne and George usually lives in insular conventional cities and houses. In Haneke movies houses are
places that protects the families and closed them like prisons. The ‘prison’ is emphasize in the movies
; ‘Yedince Kıta’, ‘Saklı’ and ‘Ölümcül Oyunlar’. But on his last movie ‘Aşk’ it is centerlined.
The movie ‘Aşk’ takes as a main subject the agedness period and its deperate situation. This time we
witness the natural violence of life and sickness. The movie is quite hard and shows the humans being
desperate face to sickness in a life in which relationship are established trough materialism.
The movie tells the story of a wife that keeps getting sicker and her husband who finds himself oblige
to kill her in order to stop her pain. It questions the modern relationship in a conventional lifestyle. In
a life in which materialism has taken a real place and can not go further, how is it to be old, sick, to be
a husband and a child ? With these questions we see as a result a strong and dark movie.
366
But you may notice that there is not violence as we are used to see like on the other movies he has
done. The violence is life itself and the way it was treated.
We are this time face to organs that are getting old, putrefactive in each in a long. The most relieving
aspect of the movie is the behaviors of George to his wife. The way that whatever happens his still
holds the hand of his wife facing desperatly sickness.

Assistant Professor
Department of German Language and Literature, Namık Kemal University, Tekirdag, Turkey
It is not difficult to realize that in recent decades Germanic studies in general have visibly lost weight
towards engineering sciences, natural sciences and economics. The situation of German studies in
Turkey is not different. Thus, in the scientific discourse, it is repeatedly talked about a ""crisis"" or
even an ""extinction"" of German as a foreign language in Turkey.
But why is this? How does the current situation of German as a foreign language in Turkey look like?
Which positive and negative aspects can be noted? And does German as a foreign language have
really no future in Turkey?
The aim of this contribution is to provide answers to these questions, particularly regarding problems
and desiderata at university level:
Initially, a brief historical review of the development of German as a foreign language in Turkey will
be given. Then, the current situation of the subject will be considered in detail: First, the general status
of German as a foreign language within the Turkish education system will be described. Afterwards,
current aspects of research and teaching in the field of German as a foreign language at university
level in Turkey will be regarded, and problems here encountered will be identified. Based on these,
desiderata for the future of Germanic research and teaching will be formulated. As this can affect the
situation of the German language in Turkey as a whole, the present paper can be regarded as a
contribution to the future of German as a foreign language in Turkey.

Landscape Value of Urban Coastal Zone

/ TURKEY
Water has been always the first priority for human beings through the history. Water is used for many
purposes such as cleaning, irrigation and drinking. Water has been always an element in urban
landscape design; it is either naturally or artificially included in urban landscapes to meet the demand
of urbanite. Therefore, water and coastal areas are important habitats that host many plant and animal
species. Coastal zones have been inhabited by many civilizations to reach for more comfortable living
standards by crating big cities. Human population density is always very high on these areas and its
rate shows ever increasing trend.
Coastal zones are characteristic elements contributing to shape urban identity in landscape designs.
The history, economy and socio-culture of the coastal cities are basically determined by the
geographical location and relation with the coast. Moreover, these areas are also very important in
terms of ecological sustainability and recreational facilities that they offer for the local inhabitants.
In this study, the importance of water front is stressed in terms of ecology, recreation and aesthetic
aspects in urban landscape design. Mitigation policies and sustainable design concepts are proposed
for deteriorated coastal landscapes due to urbanization and high population density.

While learning a language we pursuit a long journey of gaining new words in this process. This study
particularly focuses on what factors play crucial role in what words the learners of English specifically
prefer adding their vocabulary knowledge. The study is conducted on the first year students of Uludağ
University ELT Department during their reading and vocabulary course. The learners are presented a
long reading passage involving many new vocabulary items and asked which ones are worth retaining.
By considering textual clues, the learners both reveal their opinions about the new words by listing
order of importance and giving reasons about it. As a result, repetition in the text, involving no
contextual and morphological clues of the words could be assumed as the most frequent reasons for
triggering the learners’ interest to learn about the items.

Implicit and Explicit Conflict: Implications for Educational Relations.
Jose Maria Barroso Tristan
PhD Student
Departamento multidisciplinar e multi-institucional de difusão do conhecimento, Universidade federal
da bahia, Salvador, Brasil
This article aims to analyze how conflict, both implicit and explicit, impacts on relationships in the
educational process. We start from a conception of conflict as an inherent element of social relations,
so that we define it as the divergence between subjects, whether individual or collective.
Consequently, we assert that conflicts are constantly implicated in the educational processes and that if
they become manifest or not depends fundamentally on the authority figures. Through this notion of
conflict, we will describe the different types of relationships established between individuals, and the
social consequences involved. Such analysis of relationships will be based on the categories proposed
by Fromm (1986) of rational and irrational authority, bearing in mind that the latter can be divided into
two subcategories: obvious authority and anonymous authority. Rational authority aims to establish a
more democratic relationship in which subjectivities are respected, and to favor the emergence of
conflicts that can be resolved through dialogue. Irrational authority promotes a kind of authoritarian
relationships, whether explicit or implicit, that impede the emergence of conflicts, leaving everything
tacit but not expressed, therefore unresolved. By analyzing the implications that each type of
relationships contains about conflicts, we can draw conclusions about the most coherent form to deal
with conflicts in educational spaces in democracy.

On the concept of time in Cahit Koytak's poem, “İnsan Olmasaydı”
Arzu Yildirim
PhD Student
Department of Turkish Language and Literature, University of Sakarya, Sakarya, Turkey
Time as a concept is one of the most controversial issues in philosophy. Scholars, who deal with it, do
not think that it is independent of being. Cahit Koytak, in his poem called İnsan Olmasaydı which
occurs in his Yeni Başlayanlar İçin Metafizik, discusses this concept within the frames of poetry
tradition and he somewhat reveals his own conception of being. In the poem Koytak works the
concept of time through the classical period’s perception of being and he uses the poetic language of
the modern age and also presents a mystical perspective to his readers. Poetry as an art is a product of
the man’s attempt to transcend the objective reality and it has an aspect that exceeds the limits of
temporality. This clearly can be seen in Koytak’s poem. In this article, I am trying to show that how,
in the poem, man’s search for truth is dealt with through the concept of time.

Organizational commitment is an indispensable concept for businesses of the day, among which an
intensive competition takes place to keep qualified personnel under their roof. Organizational
commitment is a critical factor for enterprises to reach success. It is an important factor that predicts
the personnel’s devotion, intention to quit the job, job performance, and motivation. In this regard, a
study was carried out on 554 employees who were randomly selected and volunteered to take part in
the study with the aim of determining the organizational commitment levels of the personnel working
in 4- and 5-Star accommodation businesses operating in Alanya district of Antalya, a touristic city in
Southern Turkey, and finding out the relationships between their job satisfaction levels and their
education levels, income levels, and the departments they work in. In the study, a 2-part questionnaire
form was used for data collection. In the first part of the questionnaire, there were questions aimed at
determining the demographic and economic situation of the participants while 5-point Likert-type
Organizational Commitment Scale consisting of 18 items developed by Allen and Meyer (1990) and 3
sub-dimensions (affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment) was
used in the second part. For the analysis of the data obtained from the participants, SPSS 22 for
Windows package was used. The results of the statistical analyses carried out indicated that there was
a significant difference (p<.01) between the organizational commitment levels of the personnel
according to education level, monthly income, and the departments they work in.

There are lots of technologies that can be integrated to teaching and learning process such as social
networking, interactive presentation tools, file storage and sharing tools, blogs and wikis, online
examination tools, animation and video tools, mapping and drawing tools and learning management
systems. These technologies are referred as Web 2.0 and defined as using of the network platforms
which allow people to interact, collaborate and share with each other. This study is a descriptive study
as it aims to analyze pre-service teachers' views who attended a 5-days seminar, supported by
TUBITAK, related to web 2.0 technologies in teaching and learning. The study sample consisted of 40
pre-service teachers who study at Faculty of Education from 18 different universities. The data is
collected through a questionnaire consisting of 21 five-point Likert-type questions and three openended questions. The collected quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (e.g.,
means, standard deviations) and the qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. The results
of the study indicated that almost all pre-service teachers were quite satisfied with all activities during
the seminar. They suggested that the pre-service teachers should attend similar activities to update
their knowledge and learn current improvements in their area. This study and similar studies showed
that pre-service teachers want to be aware of current technological and pedagogical improvements.
Increasing the number of such events is important to inform them about new developments in their

Classroom interaction has been one of the most influential aspect especially in foreign language
learning/teaching. Today, many researchers claim that through classroom interaction knowledge can
be constructed and skills can be enhanced. It is essential to understand how interaction contributes to
language learning and teaching in EFL practices. In the light of these ideas, the current study
investigated into identifying and interpreting teacher-student interaction within two tertiary level EFL
classrooms. The main purpose of the study was to find out the effectiveness of the reflectivity upon
undergraduate students in line with Classroom Interaction (CI) course at Master of Arts (MA) in
Uludag University. Data collection was conducted through observation and audio recording of the
classes. The teacher-student interaction was finalised with a transcription of a short interview in the
classroom. The analysis of results indicated that both learners and lecturers consider classroom
interaction as an important pedagogical strategy in enhancing language learning /teaching. The study
suggests that the student-teacher interaction implements several pedagogical strategies: favouring
comprehension, making sure the involvement and participation of all students or establishing an
orderly and positive learning environment take place. The lecturer should establish and maintain the
pace of the lesson, encourage student participation and get all students involved, he/she should also
deliver a well-structured lesson and provide positive feedback.

Contrastive Linguistics in Foreign Language Teaching
Özlem Tekin
Assistant Professor
Department of German Language and Literature, Namık Kemal University, Tekirdag, Turkey
Contrastive linguistics as a comparative linguistic method has its focus on the identification and
characterization of commonalities, similarities and differences between two or more languages. Based
on the linguistic commonalities and differences, potential positive and negative influences, which the
mother tongue is supposed to have on the foreign language, should be determined and used in foreign
language teaching.
But can the results of theoretical linguistic comparisons be really used effectively in foreign language
teaching? Can contrastive linguistics help identify foreign language errors? Should contrastive
linguistics play a role in modern foreign language teaching? And if so, how could contrastive
linguistics be implemented in foreign language teaching?
The aim of this contribution is to provide answers to these questions:
First, the importance of contrastive linguistics in determining foreign language errors will be
explained. This covers both, the determination of what language errors are, and the determination of
their causes. Based on this, the role of contrastive linguistics in foreign language teaching will be
examined: First, the methods of language teaching to date will be analyzed to see whether language
comparisons have played a role in them. Then, the current discussion on foreign language teaching
will be set forth in detail, and it will be discussed whether contrastive linguistics should play a role in
today's foreign language teaching or not. In conclusion, some concrete suggestions for the use of
contrastive linguistics in foreign language teaching will be given, which also addresses the role of
textbook authors, teachers and learners.

The mission space of the social welfare state is quite broad and it is accepted that basically social
security, education, health, income redistribution and social welfare services of the duties of the
welfare state. It leads to inequality of opportunity, social exclusion and poverty, such as Turkey, to
have not access to education in countries with poor of understanding welfare state and the level of
socio-economic development. Thus, the fundamental responsibilities assumed by the social welfare
state in education (such as be free compulsory education, made accessible to wider social circles of
higher education, the organization of vocational and technical education) are necessary to provide that
eliminating the existing inequality of opportunities in society, everyone is trained and able to fully
develop its potential and individuals may be useful to himself and to society.
Education is an important force in the development and growth of the a country's economic, political,
social and cultural aspects. In Turkey, to ensure gender equality in education is necessary and
important for the development of both economically, politically, social and cultural aspects as well as
to put into practice the democratic way of life. Therefore, gender inequality in education is an
important issue that not just the girls or their families, but also interests of society as a whole because
it is about social justice.

Administration, Second Floor, Room Number: 238, Besevler/ANKARA 06500
As a result of technological developments and the increase in internet use, online shopping has
become an attractive option for consumers while buying goods and services which will meet their
needs. Therefore, it is of significant importance for businesses to establish a system for constantly
growing e-retailing market and to update the system whenever necessary while reaching their
customers. Taking these into account, this study aims to explain consumers’ online shopping
intentions through Technology Acceptance Model which was developed by Davis in 1989. In addition,
this study focuses on determining the effect of technology readiness on consumers’ online shopping
intentions by using Technology Readiness Index which was developed by Parasuraman in 2000.
Within this scope, the objectives of the study are to find out the effects of consumers’ technology
readiness on the perception that online shopping is useful and does not require much effort, and on
consumers’ online shopping intentions as well as to determine the mediating roles of perceived
usefulness and perceived ease of use in the relationship between consumers’ technology readiness
propensity and their online shopping intentions. Related hypotheses were developed based on the
research model and data are still being collected through online questionnaire on internet. Hierarchical
Regression Analysis will be performed to test the hypotheses of the study. The expected result based
on preliminary findings is that consumers’ technology readiness affects their perception that online
shopping is useful and does not require much effort, and it has an influence on their online shopping
intentions. It is also expected to find out that perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use have
mediating roles regarding online shopping.

Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon,
Turkey
The simplest definition of the concept of privacy is secrecy and it has a structure which differs from
culture to culture and also from time to time in the same society. Privacy, existed in both eastern and
western cultures since ancient times, is an interdisciplinary concept that is in the interests of the
different science fields such as philosophy, sociology, psychology, law, architecture, politics and
lately also information technology. Privacy, in fact is a fundamental human need and failure to meet
privacy needs has been shown to be related to antisocial behaviors and behavioral disorders. The lack
of a common meaning that is valid for everyone and absence of certain limits of privacy make it
interesting. Privacy is perceived with different dimensions such as religious, legal, personal,
physical/sensual, spatial and cultural, and its content and boundaries vary from generation to
generation.
In this context, the study focuses on what privacy means for the university students. The hypothesis of
this study is that the privacy concept is most perceived with the religious, personal and
physical/sensual dimensions than the others mentioned above. A questionnaire with open and closedended questions designed to test this, and applied to students of Karadeniz Technical University
English prep classes in level undergraduate and graduate (130 women, 243 men) in the 2015-16
Academic Year Spring Semester. Privacy is most perceived with which dimension and the place of
spatial dimension between them has been questioned by the questionnaire. The obtained data will be
analysed with SPSS. It is planned to determine whether there is a perceptual difference between the
sex and educational level of subjects, as well as to determine what privacy means to them.

Department of Sociology, Karadeniz Technical University, 61080, Trabzon, Turkey
Network society concept has been spread which used by Manuel Castells when analyzing today’s
society to refer the new social organization and cultural mode of operation that brought by
infrastructure based in communication and transport techniques. Castells argues that the world has
been undergoing structural transformation in recent years which is a multi-dimensional and coexisted
with a new technological paradigm that based on information and communication technologies and
shaped in the 1970s and spread worldwide unequally. After 1980 the socio-political structure diversity
that occurring on the techno-ground which caused by the integration with global structure has
produced a cultural transformation in Turkey. In this context, it emerged a new model of competition
between religious groups for Turkish modernization: network-based competition. The differences
appear here, cannot be addressed only in a reductionist simplicity as the differentiation of vehicles.
This, must be considered as a state of consciousness arising as a wide conversion mechanism in the
context of the relationships, culture and restructuring. As each group structuring, religious groups are
socio-cultural extension of their age. Contemporary world has experienced a structural and
instrumental transformation at the point where technological development. In this context the form of
religious groups and their activities in the network society are carry serious differences from previous
periods. In this communique the religious competition cases in the case of Turkey will be discussed
over the concerned theoretical framework.

All over the world, the economic and cultural transformations have been occurred with the
globalization and the world has begun the tendency of monoculture as predicted by the researchers.
Neo-liberal policies underpinning this transformation have brought about cultural pollution, the part
called neoconservatives have begun to complain about the disappearing of the traditional curriculum,
history, literature and values. After the referendum “Brexit”, the people in Britain who have wanted to
leave from European Union, is giving us, a clue related to these kinds of complaints.
This article aims to identify on how and to what extent the discourse of the “neo-conservatism” has
been involved in Turkey; if so, it aims to discuss the impacts on the Turkish education system. For this
purpose, government programs, development plans and practices will be analyzed by qualitatively

AN ANALYSIS ON THE RECONSTRUCTION STRATEGIES AFTER THE CIVIL
WAR IN TURKEY: DIYARBAKIR SUR DISTRICT CASE
Pelin Pınar Ozden
Associate Professor
Faculty of Political Science, Istanbul University, Istanbul, TURKEY
Throughout history, civil wars have been damaging the social-economical and physical pattern of the
cities irredeemably. Lebanon, which became a ruin with the civil war in 1975-1990; Beirut, which
entered a reconstruction process in 1980’s, Egypt (Tahrir square in Cairo), Tunisia and Syria (Sheikh
Maqsood district in Aleppo) examples, which flared up with a domino effect and became civil war,
demonstrated the grand and devastating influences of civil war on the cities and people realistically.
A similar process is encountered today in Turkey. The civil war happening in the eastern region of our
country in the last few months has damaged many settlements in terms of social-economical, cultural,
and physical aspect. Settlements such as Cizre, and Sur which is in the protection list of UNESCO,
have became ruins, and the local people were forced to move to other places. Dispossession and the
process of creating unmanned lands continue in these areas rapidly. Although there are some returns to
the areas, there aren’t any policies that will ensure the reconstruction. Those who return are left to their
own destinies. In this process, the only claim that is used in politics is urban transformation. However,
considering the urban transformation experiences of the country, we can say that this process will
possess other policies that will threat the identity and the unique character of the settlements.
This study, in the context of identity and character titles, aims to make an analysis on the post-civil
war reconstruction strategies of Sur district, and to make suggestions.

MAX WEBER’S CORPORATION THESIS AND THE IDEA OF SULTANISM
Ibrahim Mazman
Associate Professor
Kirikkale University Fen Edebiyat Fakultesi Sosyoloji Bolumu Kirikkale
Max Weber, as a well-known German sociologist in his search for the dynamics paving way for the
rise of West handled the concept of corporation in Northern Italian city states like Genoa and Venice
as the heritage of Roman law in his Economy and Society. Weber dealt with the problem of
institutional autonomy and public institutional identity as independent components resistant to
political interferences. On the other hand, Weber was concerned with the concept of Sultanism to refer
to the absolute power of a monarchic ruler over state issues. Weber dealt with this notion as the lack of
any constitutional contract between state and society. In this regard, this study will tackle the problem
of contractual state with respect to Roman law and early corporations in early Italian city states. In
addition, it will deal with the concepts of Oriental state and Sultanism dependent on the absolute will
of a ruler and lack of a political contract with his subjects. Third, this study will make a comparative
sociological analysis on their historical roots which have brought about these two different types of
political institutions in terms of Weber’s works on this area.

University of Montreal, Montreal, QC, Canada
The aim of this paper is to put in evidence the impact of the collaboration between teachers on
pedagogical practices and on fourth-grade students’ reading achievement. The problematic concerning
the difficulties faced by teachers such as the lack of collaboration, was examined by several studies
through the concept of community of practice (Lave and Wenger, 1991; Wenger, 2005) and applied to
the work of teachers, lecturers and trainers (Yandell and Turvey, 2007; Bathmaker and Avis, 2005;
Avis and Fisher, 2006). Ronfeldt et al. (2015) explored the collaboration between teachers from public
schools in Miami, with an impact on student’s outcomes. We used PIRLS (Progress in International
Reading Literacy Study) 2011 data to perform a quantitative research to analyze the variables
measuring the collaboration among teachers from 3 provinces in Canada and the results on the
pedagogical practices and the students’ outcomes, from a community of practice perspective. We
found that teachers’ collaboration had a significant impact on student’s reading achievement.

Information and communication technologies (ICT) that its power is based on economic growth and
competitiveness are very effective tools to spread the distinctive its own icons and symbols
constituting the language and the culture of the society. Countries that have the necessary technology
information capability and economic power have been emerging as a decisive actor in production of
political, economic and socio-cultural elements of this global order. These conditions owned by the
developed countries spontaneously create “a global memory” in the world, and this memory shaped by
global culture is generated with the various socio-cultural tools all over the world.
Television is a mass communication tool allowing for social interaction, and the tool reflects the
society in which all values including historical, political, social and cultural elements. From this
perspective, television series have been playing a very important role for the creation of language and
memory of the society. Because these series include many images related to cultural and spatial
representations of the society. The interpretation of the images that is very important in terms of
revealing its reflections on the local culture.
This study discusses the content of television broadcasting in framework of television series under a
classification based on concepts of urban, space and memory, and this discussion comprises only 3
selected Turkish television series named MedCezir, Karagul and Ask Yeniden. In this context, the
effects of global culture on local culture are analyzed with three selected television series on the basis
of the first season of 2015 covering the period of 6 months between January and June. The methods
provided by semiotics are used in this analysis, and thus all selected series are evaluated in terms of
spatial, cultural and ideological representations

Department of Journalism and Public Relations, University of Zagreb, Zagreb, Croatia
Internet traffic has increased in every sense. It is gathering new users every day and under these
circumstances is becoming dominant medium for transferring data and getting information. Numerous
organizations are adopting new ways of servicing their customers online and therefore many
professions are also changing. Public relations profession overlooks communication habits and in
order to sustain positive relationships it needs to observe and analyse the newest virtual locations
where online image and reputation are transformed. Furthermore, opinions are shaped in these
occasionally hidden locations. Public relations research is dealing with challenges of effects
measurements and as a part of that it should be able to measure media relations. However online
communicative practices are far more complex for measurement than statistical analysis of emoticons,
likes and dislikes and the true meaning is hidden in the word content or in the electronic word-ofmouth. The author is introducing a research model for analysis of user comments and their reactions
towards content on the social media sites. This research refers to the concept of organizational image
and reputation, organizational presentation in online media and its relationship with users. The author
is discussing several media theories that could explain the effects of online media on users.

Managing fear. Contrasting real and media represented terrorism: a training project to
prepare police and journalists
MIHAELA GAVRILA
Assistant Professor
Department of Communication and Social Research, Sapienza University of Rome, Via Salaria 113,
00198 Rome
The phenomenon of terrorism is no longer limited to covert actions and intelligence, but indeed part of
broader social reality. This implies the need for a trans-disciplinary semantic map related to
contrasting terrorism and an analysis of those media mechanisms which generate insecurity among the
general public. A few of the disciplines having dealt with the complexity of recent terrorist events are
strategic studies such as international law, social science, political science, and psychological
approaches. In this regard areas which need to be addressed include
1. Communication and its industrial and propagandistic power, also considering its ability to foster
symbolic violence (Galtung, 1968; Bourdieu e Passeron, 1970; Gallino 2004; Boltanski, 2000);
2. Politics and its (national and supranational) institutions;
3. The need to reinterpret international geopolitics in view of understanding such recent trend in
expansive and borderless imperialistic politics, be they economic, cultural, or religious;
4. Taking care of the weakest and most exposed members of the community such as children, elderly,
culturally weak, as both subjects and audiences of communication.
5. The lack of a strong project to contrast western unpreparedness (eg. the lack of an European military
inter-force coordination project and the lack of a European journalism able to deal effectively in
complex multi-national contexts);
According to various national and international researches (primarily the Eurobarometro and the
Osservatorio Europeo sulla Sicurezza in the various editions of the survey), in recent years the fear of
terrorism in Europe is reaching and even exceeding the fear for the economic crisis and the job loss.
This reversal in the ranking of the fears is closely linked to the conscious use of media power by
terrorism. Besides, Internet is changing the character of media representation of terrorism. The web
394
and the new technologies offer through blogs, sites, discussion groups, social networking sites the
chance to field alternative communication strategies bypassing the official information channels.
A complex environment and a media reality feeding myths, representations, propaganda and counterpropaganda networks, opposing information and soliciting new interpretive paradigms and an
analytical perspective in part still unexplored.
These new and global strategies and ways of doing further highlight the apparent omnipotence and the
desire to create a conflict, dominate and redraw borders, keeping alive or smothering the economies of
entire nations (Grasso, 2014).
In addition, there is the need to manage the effects of medial storytelling upon so complex topics. In
fact, the mainstream communication promotes the logic of emergency and of sensationalism at any
cost, following an ephemeral and short-term time horizon (Amadou-Mathar M’Bow, 1982, ed. or.
1980).
In this context , the police forces as guarantors and education to security protagonists and reliable
reference points for personal action are bearers of a strategic function. This paper aims at developing a
transnational training project for law enforcement personnel and communication operators. Such an
initiative, which will involve the network of Inter-force Police Schools, international journalistic
agencies, as well as European universities, could be a compelling operational response to the global
problem of terrorism.

Believer transactions can be made effectively according to the principle of freedom of contract
although it is not regulated in The Turkish Obligations Law. Believing transfers a right to the believed
provided that it use in a particular purpose and manner and give back this right when the goal also
happens at the believer transaction.
The two sides which are called the believing and the believed are available in the believer transactions.
The believing is called that it is alienator as believer to a trusted person a right or the object. The
believed is called that it is person who uses as a right of his own, right or the object which is
transferred as believer, but for their own benefit or without their own benefit.
The belief agreement is subject to form in the believer transactions which concerning the transfer of
immovable properties with the transfer of receivable. To be made in formal manner in ded of the belief
agreement is required in the believer transactions which concerning immovable properties.
The legal nature of belief agreement is controversial in the believer transactions. Opinions which in
the direction become a original itself contract, proxy contract or kind of proxy a relationship of the
belief agreement have been put forward in the doctrine.
The belief agreement is a promissory transaction which contains the expiration causes of believer
transaction and the conditions of being used by believed of transferred right, to be managed, return to
believe, which determines the right and debts between the believing and believed person.
These transactions emerge usually with saving an operation which shows itself in the form of a saving
operation with the aggregation so as to form a whole of debt-inducing transaction. Legal reasons may
occur in various ways in saving transactions. These may contain legal reasons such as the cause of the
pursuance, the cause of the acquisition, the cause of the donation, the cause of renovation and the
cause of fulfilling a condition.
Believer transactions end in various ways: these are the realization of the aim, the expiration of the
prescribed period, the withdrawal of the proxy, the death of one of the parties, the incapacitation of the
one of the parties and breaking contract.

It arises debt which gives back the issue of faith of the believed in case of the end for reasons such as
the realization of the aim of the believer transactions, payment of debt, the elapse of a certain period.

Real estate brokerage services are not so popular in Thailand. Possible reason is the quality of services
derived from brokers. The providers of brokerage services are individuals or business entities. This
study concentrates on relationship between the satisfaction of customers who have sold residential
estate via real estate brokerage firms at least one time within a past year and the quality of services
offered by brokerage firms. In addition to service quality measured by SERVQUAL, this study
included two more constructs, namely the perceived value and the professionalism, which is
knowledge and skills of staff, constructs. Using a structure questionnaire, all valid 244 respondents
rated their opinions with five-point Likert scale. Using exploratory factor analysis to reduce
measurement items used for all three constructs and multiple regression analysis to analyze the
relationship between customer satisfaction and three constructs, this study found perceived value,
service quality and professionalism have significantly positive relationship with customer satisfaction.
The factor with most magnitude is the perceived value, followed by professionalism and service
quality. This study suggests that brokerage firms should provide good services with reasonable price
in order to gain customers satisfaction.

YILMAZ KARA, Ozcan Yemen
Department of Science Education, Bartin University, Bartin, Turkey
The purpose of this research can be determined as diagnosing the conceptual understanding of science
teacher candidates on photosynthesis and respiration in plants through a two-tier multiple choice test.
The research design of the study was the survey method. The two-tier multiple choice diagnostic test
for the conceptual understanding of the issue of photosynthesis and respiration in plants was
completed by 45 science teacher candidates (73% female). The administration process was 25 minutes
in average. The subject areas covered through the test were the plant nutrition, role of water in plants,
role of leaves in plants, gas exchange, energy transformation, definition and importance of
photosynthesis, the role of light in photosynthesis, respiration in plants, and the relationship between
photosynthesis and respiration in plants. The results of the photosynthesis and respiration in plants test
were revealed that the teacher candidates are not able to conceive photosynthesis as a chemical
reaction and they do not appreciate the role of chlorophyll. In addition, the alternative conceptions of
teacher candidates on of the energy concept concerns the form of energy required as well as the notion
of harnessing the sun’s energy. Further, teacher candidates hold the alternative conception that plants
receive all their nutrients from the environment. Moreover, teacher candidates confuse photosynthesis
with respiration and also believe that respiration occurs when there is no photosynthesis. As a
consequence, the administration of the test revealed that the science teacher candidates had limited
scientifically acceptable responses for photosynthesis and respiration in plants even at higher
education.

Environmental Competencies of Classroom Teachers
Nevriye Yazcayır
Gazi Faculty of Education, Gazi University, Turkey
According to traditional approach, teacher competencies are determined in three main fields: field,
pedagogical and cultural competencies. However, nowadays teacher competencies are discussed in
broader and different dimensions with regard to reform studies in education, developments in teacher
education, scientific results in the fields of education sciences and other sciences. Now, environment
competencies have been one of the most important teacher competencies.
Teachers need to understand the complex relationships between environmental integrity and
sustainable development; to recognize environmental consequences of economic growth programs at
local, national, regional and global level; to have a sense of responsibility and value judgments to
work active for protection and improvement of the environment. Teachers are also able to apply
environmental education at every type and level of their education as hardware adequate knowledge
about the problems which are as a result of environmental and socio-cultural development and
solutions.
This study aimed at to determine the environmental competencies of classroom teachers. This research
will be carried out as a qualitative research. Descriptive analysis method will be used in analysis of
data. In the research, the data gathered at four stages and with different data collection methods from
40 classroom teachers by means of using Delphi technique. Research stages are given below.
Stage 1: Three written open-ended research questions were given to 40 classroom teachers and
teachers’ responses to these questions were taken in a written form.
Stage 2: A three-hour face to face brain storming meeting comprised of two rounds will be organized
and 20 classroom teachers’ opinions will be collected.
Stage 3: A list of classroom teachers’ environmental competencies will be made based on the opinions
determined at Stage 1 and Stage 2. The list will be given to 40 teachers. It will be asked if they agree
with competencies in the list.
Stage 4: Environmental competencies of classroom teachers will be defined based on the data gathered
from the research.
Findings aren’t included in the abstract because the research process continues.

Instructor
School of Foreign Languages, University of Haci Bektas Veli
The present study reviews the attitudes of the junior and senior students towards microteaching.
Microteaching technique, developed at Stanford University in the United States, is a way to better
train pre-service teachers (Huber and Ward, 1969). In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the use of
microteaching spread rapidly in the U.S, Europe and some other developing countries. Nowadays,
many teacher education programs use microteaching to expand the scope of junior and senior students
while mastering various teaching skills and teaching experiences. Microteaching also orients these
students to gain teaching experiences for natural classroom environments. It has become a successful
and an interesting technique for transferring theory into practice for a pre-service teacher in a teacher
education program. Junior and senior students recommend the use of the microteaching in teacher
education because of the advantages. It is effective in developing and sharing certain teaching skills
and getting rid of the mistakes. It allows for understanding important behaviours in classroom
teaching. It increases the junior and senior students’ self-confidence. For both pre-service and
experienced teachers, it provides an extensive application domain. It enables to develop teaching
competency models. The participants of the study are junior and senior students attending in English
Language Teaching department at different universities, in Turkey. The data was collected by means
of a Likert type scale developed by Ogeyik (2009). The scale was applied to 96 students. The study
showed that ELT students at universities in Turkey generally held positive attitudes towards
microteaching with regard to its effectiveness for professional development, self-assessment, selfconfidence, material production and teaching experiences in various courses.

The purpose of the study is to examine the relationships between life satistfaction, coping strategies,
personality traits and various socio-demographic characteristics (sex, education level, perceived socioeconomical status etc.) of individuals in the course of divorce and to determine the variables predicting
their life satisfaction.
The sample of the study consists of 113 individuals in the course of divorce whose trials are conducted
by the family courts in Izmir Courthouse. Demographic Data Form, Satisfaction With Life Scale, Five
Factor Personality Inventory-Short Form and Coping Strategies Scale were used to collect data.
Results revealed that there is no significant differentiation between the life satisfaction levels of male
and female participants. Extraversion, openness and neurotism are the personality traits which have
significant correlations between life satisfaction. Among the coping strategies only avoidance has a
significant correlation with life satisfaction. Regression analysis revealed that “avoidance” as a coping
strategy and “neurotism” as a personality trait are the most important predictors of life satisfaction.
The individuals with higher levels of avoidance and neurotism have lower life satisfaction levels. In
addition, consistent with previous studies, results revealed significant associations between
sociodemographics (duration of marriage, number of children, perceived economical status) and life
satisfaction. One Way ANOVA results of satisfaction with life revealed significant differences
between groups. The results are discussed along with the literature findings, strengths and limitations
of the study and suggestions for future researches.

The aim of the study was to examine views of individuals using hallucinogenic substances and their
habits of psychoactive substance, especially hallucinogenic substances.
The sample of the study consisted of individuals using hallucinogenic substances in Turkey. A
purposive sampling method was used in the study. The data of the study were collected through a
semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher. In the process of conducting the study, 16
participants were interviewed and detailed information about their use of hallucinogenic substances
was obtained. The content analysis of qualitative data was carried out and the related themes were then
determined.
The content analysis of the data showed that the participants used hallucinogenic substances such as:
LSD, hallucinogenic mushrooms, peyote/mescaline, DMT (ayahuasca, changa), ketamine, salvia
divinorum, nutmeg, datura stramonium and morning glory seeds. In addition to these hallucinogenic
substances, it was observed that participants also use psychoactive substances like marijuana, ecstasy
and cocaine regularly.
The study findings revealed that following hallucinogenic substance use, the participants experience
various effects on their perception, affection and cognitive processes. It was also observed that the
positive effects of substance use outweighed the negative ones. The findings showed that the
participants had preferences about time, place, mood and people before hallucinogenic substance use,
and made arrangements accordingly.
The results suggested that hallucinogenic substance use habits differ from other psychoactive
substances. For example, the participants generally used hallucinogenic substances a few months a
year and felt no need to increase the dosage or showed any symptoms of withdrawal.

The aim of this work is to disseminate a Comprehensive Computerized Intervention for Depression.
While face to face cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) remains the psychological standard of care in
the treatment of depression, other delivery formats, such as two-way online video, have been tried
successfully in the recent years.
Automated interventions for depression (e.g., internet-delivered sessions) have been shown to have
comparable clinical outcomes with standard CBT. They also come with benefits such as convenience,
cost reduction and greater reach. However, such interventions also come with less desirable outcomes,
such as a high dropout rate, or limited long-term improvement.
Building on these recent advances, have developed an app – a mobile Intervention for Depression that
aims at minimizing the problems that current automated solutions face. To this end, our proposed
solution incorporates insights from Graphic Design, gamification theories, and Artificial Intelligence,
to increase the quality of the user experience, potentially leading to better clinical outcomes.

Toys and plays are very important in the children’s world. Play supports the overall development of
children. It is the most natural learning environment. The game is a voluntary activity that the child
willingly attend. Toys are tools of the game. Dolls have an important place especially in the girls’
world. Most of the time, they imitate their mother, pretend being like their mother using the dolls in a
dramatic play.
When considering the importance of the play in a child life, ıt can be seen the importance of the toys
used in a play. There are different variety of toys at the present time. They may be made of different
materials, may have different colors and different features.
In this study, the children and their mothers’ doll preferences they played in their childhood were
investigated. What features do the girls look for in the dolls they play? How they make their doll
preferences? What is the choices based on? As it is known there are a lot of dolls with different
features in the market place. There is no much studies on traditional dolls and the new generation dolls

Are Spiral Programs Integrative and Hierarchic?
Ayfer Sahin
Associate Professor
Ahi Evran Universitesi Egitim Fakültesi, Kırsehir, Turkey
In spiral programs, subjects are re-taught as appropriate occasions arise. Every subject is sequential in
itself. Subjects are based on one another and presented gradually. Newly learnt concepts are linked to
previous ones. In other words, the subjects taught at a lower level are not only revised, but their
contents are also expanded at higher levels.
The program currently implemented at preschools in Turkey is developmental, spiral and eclectic in
character and is designed by considering children’s developmental features, fields of interest and
needs (MEB, 2013: 8). Additionally, the primary education program in Turkey was developed through
the use of various educational approaches besides ‘spiral programming’ (MEB, 2009). Skills present
in a particular domain of learning are congruous not only within the domain, but are shared among all
other domains of learning (MEB, 2015).
Preschool and primary educations in Turkey are integrated under the ‘basic education’ framework. In
this sense, preschool education programs and primary education programs are to be established one on
top another in accordance with spiral programming. However, it’s common knowledge that
commissions in Turkey develop programs without working in coordination with each other. This
causes some disconnections and problems in the implementation of programs. As a requirement of
spiral programming, this study aims to reveal to what extent these two programs adhere to the
principles of integrity and progress.
It’s believed that the current study will guide authorities at the Ministry of Education, program
designers, writers and all stakeholders in education system in future programming.

Uludag University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Gorukle Campus, Nilufer/BURSA
Research about “teaching social sciences” had been going on for many decades. But we come to hear
more often nowadays in education as well as in research. In our faculties we as lecturers take it almost
for granted that lecturing, consolidate and extend learning is applied and done. But do our students can
acknowledge what we do in class for teaching and assessment as a matter of fact? In this study, we
aimed to investigate the impact of homework and projects on contentment with the course.
Participants were 233 undergraduates (M age= 21.48 years, SD= 4.86 year). Students filled out a
group of structured questions and also an open ended question about the contentment of the overall
course. The effects of learning by homework/project evaluated on the two dimensions (structured
answers/quantitative, an open ended answer/qualitative) of contentedness, controlling for the basic
variables (gender, CGPA). First, the results revealed that they rated the contentment of course is high
(M = 4.18, SD= 0.60, range= 2-5). Regression analysis in predicting the contentment indicated that
perceived effectiveness of homework/project on learning is the only significant predictor of overall
contentment after controlling for student’s gender and CGPA. Separate qualitative analysis predicting
domains of effectiveness of homework/project revealed that the enjoyment and amount of time spend
on homework predicts benefit and hardness dimensions of effectiveness, but not the meaningfulness
dimension. We further discussed the implications of the findings considering both the course context
and broader classroom environment.

Children’s literature involves oral and written works that demand the needs of 2-14 aged children, and
aim these children’s emotions and notions. Child books have important roles in acquisition of
individual values about life and reality since early childhood. Child books animate different characters
by the expression power of drawing and language. Constructions are set based on the characters and
their relationships. Then, experimentation regarding children’s learning of human, nature, and life is
formed. Value can be stated as “material and moral elements of a nation’s social, cultural, economic
and scientific values”.
One requirement of realizing the aims of Turkish National Education is educating individuals that
adopt the values of Turkish Nation. Families, educational institutions, and teaching materials have
important roles to raise individuals who adopt social values and put them into practice. One of the
important materials is written child books.
This study aims to determine the national and universal values that are in the child books of
elementary third and fourth grades.
One of the qualitative methods, document analysis method was used in the study. Universe of the
study was consisted of written child books of elementary third and fourth grades. Sample was
consisted of child books that are sold in the city center of Kırşehir. Random sampling method was
used and 200 Turkish written child books of local and foreign authors. To collect data, “Values

Following Traces of “the Invisible Hand” in the Distribution of National High-Stake
Test Scores: Who is Actually Privileged by the State-Funded Public Education
Monopoly?
M. Semih SUMMAK, Mahmut KALMAN
Faculty of Educational Sciences Gaziantep University Gaziantep-Turkey
There is an awful lot of studies showing a strong relation that exists between all kinds of academic
achievement and socioeconomic status (SES) of families. Neo-liberal free market-inspired reforms in
education are mainly criticized for their hidden differential effects arising from the interrelations
among class, gender, and race. This presentation raises the question about justifiability of state-funded
and delivered public education which is believed to assure fair and equitable education for all. Taking
transformative stance as the guiding philosophy, a case study (bounded by a municipal district in a
Greater metropolitan city in the Southeastern part of Turkey) is designed. TEOG (Transitory National
Examinations from Basic to Secondary Education) scores were examined in a comparative manner to
understand the effects of SES in the distribution of scores among different schools in the municipal
district. The study makes a contribution to in depth understanding of actual beneficiaries of the public
education monopoly based on the distribution of high-stake national test scores. Preliminary findings
of the study indicate that TEOG scores of the schools in the high SES-family-inhabited neighborhoods
are far more ahead of low SES-inhabited ones in the same district. Contrary to its major premise, statefunded and operated education, in this case at least, seem to privilege higher SES families in regard to
success in TEOG examinations.

Museum: The Third Eye
Şule Göle
PhD Student
Akdeniz University, Institue of Social Sciences, Antalya, Turkey
The conception of museum in the modern sense, drives from the Cabinets of the Curiosities which
have flourished in Renaissance. The Cabinets of The Curiosities as a form of seeing the world, reflect
unstable and inconsistent world view of man in the Renaissance. In The Cabinets of The Curiosities,
rare, unusual, exotic and interesting objects are collected by the philosophers, noble man, researcher
and merchants. In the Renaissance the man is curious about the world, he is searching and collecting
the nature and universe in order to understand it that differs from the medieval understanding of
universe. This way of searching the world engenders the new conception of knowledge based on the
perception of worldly bodies which has paved the way for the modern experimental science. The
collected objects in the cabinets of the curiosities constitutes a microcosmos of whole universe, that is
the macrocosmos. In this study, the concept of microcosmos as a third eye of seeing the world will be
studied for how it transformed into the concept of museum in the modern sense.

Museum as a Postmodern Rhetorical Device
Hasan Aslan
Professor
Akdeniz University, Faculty of Literature, Department of Philosophy, Antalya Turkey
After Alan Sokal’s fake paper the nature of the modern knowledge has become cursorial. This
situation is called as “postmodern condition” by Lyotard. This “condition” doesn’t represent just the
relativization of the knowledge but, on the other hand, implies losing the reliability of knowledge for
which the modern philosophers were searching. The character of knowledge is determined mainly by
the producers of the knowledge with using the rhetorical elements for persuading the audience. It
seems that what called as a “postmodern condition” does not take place just in restricted area of
research but compasses the whole intellect of our age. In this study, the relation of the postmodern
condition to the museums will be discussed. It will be claimed that as a rhetorical device the museums
contributes the production of the knowledge in the postmodern sense.

Mankind’s most important tool to understand and make sense of life and world is thinking. Thinking
act directs many characteristics even it seems so ordinary. Speaking, discussion, making a choice or a
judgement are all under the control of thinking activity. All people think inherently. But they think
prejudicedly, deficiently, incorrectly and based on inexpedient information if they don’t gain effective
thinking skills. However, today, information society whose improvement based on information and
communication technology demands autonomous individuals who try to understand knowledge which
he/she faces inquiringly, can make free decisions without taking hold of others and can take different
approaches to events. At this point in the 21th century, mankind should constitute their own
elimination system for the acquired information. The mental process fulfil logical filter duty that is
reguired by mankind can be stated by critical thinking. Critical thinking is defined by the skill of
taking the responsibility of his/her own ideas.
In this study an achievement test towards evaluating critical thinking skill was developed. Firstly, the
achievement test which was developed to determine the level of critical thinking sub-skills acquired by
students consists of 39 items. This test form was implemented in 5th grade of a secondary school and
after that implementation students were asked to state their opinions about style, length and puzzling
parts of the test form. After then some words that were not understood properly by students were
changed and some long texts were shortened. After editing, the test form were implemented in two
classrooms which were chosen unbiased in a secondary school in Afyonkarahisar. One of the
classrooms has a low socio-economic level and the other classroom has a high socio-economic level.
After the implementation index of difficulty and index of discrimination of each item and KR-20 and
KR-21 values of whole test were calculated. KR-20 and KR-21 values of the form of achievement test
which consists of 39 items are respectively .84 and .82. Finally the number of items of the
achievement test was reduced to 33.

Department of Curriculum and Instruction, Afyon Kocatepe University, Afyonkarahisar.
Education and social structure have an interactive relation. Therefore each change which occurs in
social structure influences education system. Today the human model which is demanded by
information society is like a guide for educational instutions’ activities. The perception that learning
occurs by transferring knowledge from teacher to students give its place to teaching-learning
environment in which students are motived to question, think, discuss, explore new perspectives and
generating knowledge. That perspective change in education requires diversification of strategy,
method and techniques which are used in classroom besides many changes in each component.
Snowball technique which is one of these alternative methods provides cooperative learning and
cultivates discussion in classroom. By this method each student consider a problem or subject by
himself/herself and then discuss that problem or subject within a group which consists of more
students at every turn.
In this study to take teachers’ opinion about application of “snowball” method in teaching and learning
process was aimed. The study group consists of 18 teachers who are working in Afyonkarahisar in
2015-2016 school year. Data obtained via the form developed by the researchers will be analysed by
content analysis and will be interpreted. The analysis process is in progress.

The Academic Incentives: Motivators for Productivity or Barriers for Integrity?
Barış Uslu
PhD, The Department of Educational Sciences, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey
Since 1970s, the ‘entrepreneurial university’ discourse have gain more importance in global higher
education. Most universities strongly embraced the entrepreneurship to increase their financial
independence from governments. In line with the desire of income generation, mainly research
universities from developed countries started to be managed by professional administrators, not by
senior academics. Via the ‘accountability’ model, these business-minded managers spread
performative culture in academia and set up various performance criteria about publications, research
funds, teaching loads, etc. Then, they completely returned to the Taylorist logic, piece-rate pay, and
developed merit-pay system in academia. This payment system easily found place in developed higher
education systems, and led to the emergence of the contingent/temporary academic labor. On the other
hand, the merit-pay system have not strongly placed in developing higher education systems yet due to
the higher job security of academics. However, the merit-payment approach has reflected to bonus
payments via academic incentives. As one of the developing countries, Turkey started new academic
incentive program in 2015 to increase the productivity in academia and the attractiveness of academic
salaries. This program also brought serious questions related to its effects on academic productivity as
well as academic integrity. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to examine the effects on
academic productivity and integrity. For this purpose, the researcher conducted qualitative inquiry. He
carried out interviews with 10 Turkish academics from different disciplines. He then performed
content analysis by coding the interview transcripts. After forming the complete code-list, another
researcher coded the transcripts by using the code-list. The researcher calculated the inter-coder
reliability as .81 that provides evidence for adequate reliability. He then following the qualitative
analysis steps: Data Reduction, Data Display, and Conclusion Drawing/Verification. The data were
categorized in three themes. In the first theme, despite its positive goals, Turkish academics underlined
the methodological adversities of the academic incentive program, as follow: “The program aims to
tempt academics to produce more by extra payment, but the evaluation criteria in different categories
like projects, publications, presentations, etc. are not equally fit all sorts of disciplines – assoc.prof.
from geography.” As a second, a prof. from social science claimed that “academics from several
departments will increase their activities with mostly low quality works, but many others will jam on
the brakes due to the highest limit of 100 points” and an assist.prof. from chemistry confirmed this
claim: “as one of the top performer in my department, I already slowed down my publication pace,
417
because I can get maximum score with less articles.” As the last theme, the interviewees highlighted
several points related to academic honesty and research/publication ethics, such as: “academics with
higher title may put their names on the studies without any contribution – res.assist. from
mathematics”, “as a part of our academia, citation-gang will work more effectively – assist.prof. from
business”, and “many academics will produce many papers/presentations based on fake data in
relatively short time and carry out little projects without consideration of research ethics – prof. from
marine sciences.” Accordingly, the higher education policy makers should re-organize the evaluation
criteria by taking disciplinary differences into consideration, remove the highest limit for scoring, and
form more serious rules related to academic ethics and operate stricter peer-review evaluation by the
committees firstly at the departmental level.

This study is designed within the qualitative research methodology by using a single case study
approach, in order to examine the educational administrators’ perception and application differences
that are currently active in the Girne District of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. The
researchers prepared seven open-ended interview questions and conducted face to face interviews with
17 participants from public schools and three from private schools. The data analysis is done by
NVivo 10 Qualitative analysis software. The findings of the research reveal that decision making
process is applied by the administrators after formal meetings with the staff. In the planning process,
Ministry of Education’s plans are applied by combining the institutional plans and goals. During the
stuffing process, the shared management approach is generally applied to assign the duties that are
planned. Communication process is handled through formal and informal ways. Coordination is
arranged by formal rules and regulations to supply discipline and equity amongst the staff. In order to
have a positive effect on the staff, administrators’ aim is to count on humanistic approaches rather than
formal dialogues for a better institutional rapport. Finally, the assessment process of the institution is
done through formal documents that the Ministry of Education requires and by means of the
institutions’ annual plans. The findings of the research also reveal that there is a positive interaction
between the staff and the administrators no matter it is private or a public school, whereas on some
occasions there is a gap between the superiors and the administrators.

“Orhon Inscriptions” which is the very first written work of Turkish language and history, and which
reflects Turkish state intellection; the political treatise work of Yusuf Has Hacip “Kutadgu Bilig”
which significantly contributed to Turkish political life and Turkish state administration process; and
the political treatise work of Sarı Mehmet Paşa “Ottoman Statecraft” (Nesâyihü’l-Vüzerâ ve’l-Ümerâ)
which was written so as to be able to solve the administration problems of Ottoman statesmen. The
studies about leadership include such wide disciplines as management, politics and psychology, and
every branch of science evaluates from its own point of view. In the study, leadership approaches
determine within the framework of which leadership approaches these three works were in different
periods in terms of state administration and what the characteristics of the statesmen and top
government officials were. By the analysis of the works via document review, state administration in
the works, characteristics that the administrators should have and the duties of the top government
officials were detected. The data gathered was analyzed by means of content analysis and evaluated
within the framework of modern leadership theories.
