A STUDY ON AMENDMENTS TO LAWS NO. 6545 AND 6552 AND LAWS


RELATED TO ADMINISTRATIVE JUSTICE

Mustafa Avcı

University of Anadolu, Faculty of Law, Head of Department of Administrative Law, Yunus Emre
Campus, 26470 Tepebasi, Eskisehir, TURKEY

This study examines the amendments to Laws publicly known as the 5th judicial package (Law no.
6545) and 6th judicial package (Law no. 6552) and the amendments in the field of administrative
justice, and explicates the amendments that are considered unconstitutional. The study further focuses
on the regulations that are amended or revised by these Laws, but are considered unnecessary from our
perspective. The study also includes some procedural amendments that are more urgent and essential
than the amendments to the Administrative Procedure Law, which constitute the main focus of this
study. First, the amendments regarding administrative justice brought by Law no. 6545 may be
outlined as follows: The structure and duties of Regional Administrative Courts, related to an appeal
system which has been (partially) lacking in the administrative justice, are defined. Furthermore, the
appeal is integrated into the system as a legal remedy. With this, the law defines the Regional
Administrative Court decisions that can be appealed to the Council of State and modifies other
Administrative Procedure Law provisions in consideration of the new system. Correction of a decision
is no longer a legal remedy in the system. An immediate judicial procedure, which already exists in
the French system, is introduced; however, the procedure is different than the practice in France.
Second, Law no. 6552 adds to the Administrative Procedure Law a specific judicial procedure related
to central and common exams. Article 28 of the Administrative Procedure Law, regarding the results
of administrative justice decisions, was also amended by this Law. Nevertheless, this amendment was
cancelled by the Constitutional Court for being unconstitutional. This study provides detailed
explanations about each amendment mentioned above and offers solutions to the amendments that are
considered problematic.

Race and Black America: An Enduring Heritage?

Tunde Adeleke

Center for American Intercultural Studies, 208 Carver Hall, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, USA

Race and racism are intertwined in, and many would argue synonymous with, the Black American
experience. From the very dawn of American history to the present, race has configured and
determined the Black experience. Examined critically, race assumed both negative and positive roles.
Since the White establishment constructed and utilized race as hegemonic force, Blacks responded by
re-conceptualizing race into a positive anti-hegemonic weapon of resistance. Race became, for Blacks,
a potent unifying and delineating resistance force as well as the means for reconstituting a
countervailing identity, and most significantly, creating a space of isolation and escape from what was
deemed the destructive power of the dominant White society. Thus, some Blacks took refuge in
racialized and essentialist construction of an alternate reality. However, not everyone is convinced of
the potency and utility of race. In her study titled The End of Blackness (2004), Debra Dickerson
argued that “Blackness is rapidly losing its ability to describe, let alone predict or manipulate, the
political and social behavior of African Americans…it diminished their sovereignty as rational and
moral actors.” She made a passionate call for deemphasizing race. Her plea has not resonated widely
among Blacks. Many continue to invoke what I tern a “gloracialized” worldview. They insist on
prioritizing race as unifying identity for Blacks globally. Even the election of the first Black president
has not fundamentally eroded or dented the appeal of race as identitarian and countervailing force.
This paper critically analyzes the development of racialized and essentialist worldview among Black
Americans and the contending schools of thought. It offers a prognosis for a post-racial America.

POTENTIAL HONOUR KILLING ASYLUM APPLICATIONS OF TURKISH


ASYLUM-SEEKERS AND ASYLUM GENDER GAP

Sibel Safi

Head of International Public Law Department

The Geneva Convention on the status of refugees offers the basic definition and the problem emerges
when the serious human rights violation like honour killing that do not clearly has its base on one of
these Convention grounds which can constitute a legitimate premise for refugee recognition. Honour
killings in Turkey are widespread and occur across education levels and little stigma is attached for
perpetrators. Disobedience was determined to be the most common reason given to justify honour
killings.

And in case of asylum applications, honour killings have often been seen as a private or domestic issue
and a further barrier to the recognition of gender-related persecution within current definitions and
interpretations of the Geneva Convention is the way in which persecutory practices which may be
common in ‘Third world’ countries are assigned to cultural differences. Lots of states like United
Kingdom, United States, Australia, France and New Zealand refer the’ particular social group criteria’
in order to accept the fear of honour killing as a ground for asylum. However the methods of
interpreting Particular Social Group utilized in judicial systems, creates lack of uniformity that
negatively affects the adjudication of honour killing asylum claims, resulting in inconsistent
judgments and unjust disparities.

Effects of Climate change on behaviour of snail harvesting Gypsy farmers

Dilek Eroglu

Abant İzzet Baysal University, Facuty of Sience and Arts, Department of Sociology Golkoy Campus
Area Bolu / Turkey

Snail gathering is an important source of livelihood for rural gypsy families in the humid forest areas
of Nothern Turkey. Eventhough there is no consumption and place in turkish cuisine of snail there are
some factories that are buying it from farmers. Collected snails having place asa processed snail for
European countries and also its shells to produce buttons for national market

This study was made in Bolu which is one of the important snail supplying city of Turkey. Focused
group interview with 20 gypsies were made for the study. The results indicate that predominantly
women with basic school level of education are holding indigenous knowledge on snail production
They knew all the details about snail's lifecycle. 70% of their income is derived from sale of snails and
the rest is from seasonal works of men. Causes of declining snail populations were attributed to habitat
loss through deforestation, overexploitation, climate change - indicated by extremely high
temperatures and low rainfall, high

dependence on agricultural chemicals (herbicides and pesticides) and lack of training on improved
snail husbandry. It was also determined that women create their own coping strategies like living
limited number of snails to produce new eggs for next year's harvest. It is suggested to broaden
agricultural extension programmes and add bioderversity conservation and capasity building
programmes for rural gypsies as well.

Build music routines - three musical procedures that could help the music teacher to
save time and noise

Meglena Apostolova

Shumen University, Bulgaria

Good discipline and behavior are serious issues in the music class. The music room is usually a noisy,
active place and the reason for that comes directly from the nature of the art we are teaching. That
makes music classes more difficult to manage.

There are three moments in the music class that could cause problems and waste our valuable teaching
time. They are: the entrance of the students, the transition from one activity to another and the end of
the class.

This article is about using three simple procedures, building three simple routines that could help the
music teacher to avoid the chaos during those movements, without talking, but using the art of music
to control the students’ behavior

The religious pluralism and dialogue discussions

Emine Yavasgel, Ece Karadogan Doruk

University of Istanbul

The basic principles of a pluralistic society involve different communities living together and
recognizing each other’s values and ideals. Such a recognition constitutes the principle of
responsibility to the other. What justifies pluralism is that it gives us the chance of understanding
ourselves and describing our identities by having a dialogue with the other as well as getting to know
about the identity of the other. It will be shown that identities can be re-described by the understanding
of pluralism, which is the prerequisite of preventing the identity from turning into difference-
privileging.

An analysis of the events in this century indicates that people are turning to the “Holy” as a solution of
social inequality and unrest. The main qualities that make us human are believing, trusting, sheltering
and affiliating. In the world of living things, only humans have the ability to create systems of values.
Accordingly, it will be beneficial to highlight the common holy and humane values with which no one
can disagree in order to prevent the conflicts resulting from ethnic, cultural and religious differences.
The dialogue between the three monotheistic religions plays a major role in this issue. Thus, this work
will perform a qualitative analysis of the religious pluralism model conducted in framework of the
dynamics of the “Holy,” global ethics design policies, the dialogue between religions and the news
production of the media regarding this subject.

The process that began with the industrial revolution in second half of the 18th century, brought about
wealth and prosperity to some western countries as well as various problems and environmental issues
to the most of the countries in the World. Previously, environmental issues that taken local dimension
is global today, thus strugling with this issues got international characteristic. While the resolution of
issues of climate change, industrial wastes, toxic gas emissions, air pollution, global warming e.t.c.
reguires intergovernmental collaboration, many matters also closely associated with local authorities,
institutions and social sectors as well as the attitudes and behaviors of individuals.

Main environmental issues in pre-modern World was based on preservation of freshwater resources,
cleaning of residential places (house, street, square, landscaping), to avoid to leave slaughtered and
dead animals and human waste to random places, various precautions againts epidemics, protection
and care of animals e.t.c. Both İstanbul-based central administration and provincial administrators and
foundations played a primary active role to solve this issues in Ottoman Empire. Central
administration by publishing firmans (ordinance) and laws, city administrations by controls of
muhtesib and the foundations by their services tried to resolve this problems and worked to build a
livable world. Besides there was foundations that working for the environmental issues directly,
another foundations founded for struggling with this issues even the purpose of establishment was
different. So, they provided environmental awareness and understanding in the community by their

The Relationship between Religion and State in the Period of Mahmud II: Sects and
Foundations

Alaattin Aköz

Faculty of Lecture, University of Seljuk

Mahmud II is the son of Abdulhamit I and he was born on 20 July, 1874. He came to the Ottoman
throne on 28 July, 1808 because of dethronement and killing of Selim III, his uncle, and enthronement
and dethronement of Mustafa IV, his elder brother. Despot administrator’s activities intensifying in the
period of his uncle and especially janissary riots had continued in the period of Sultan Mahmud II. He
believed that state would not be able to manage with old order in this troubled period because of Greek
and Mehmet Ali Pasha riots and the wars against Iran and Russia. So, he began radical reform
attempts to reconstitute the state.

Within the frame of these reforms, running of sects which had an important position at all levels of
state was interfered and Sultan Mahmud closed guild of janissaries and Bektashi lodges which are
opponent him authority. It is not true to associate abolition of guild of janissaries with closing of these
Bektashi lodges, because Sultan Mahmud was in tendency to block all kinds of activities against
centralization and his authority. The powers which Bektashis took from janissaries and increasing of
their followers were the examples for such a danger. Closing of Bektashi lodges is not connected to
their non-sunni religion. The best example for this is exile of sheiks that belong to Halidilik in
Naqshbandi. This is the step to provide central authority.

Sultan Mahmud made important alterations in foundations to establish the central authority. Here, he
united all foundations for centralization thus; he centralized everyone who earned income with lodges
and foundations. He blocked ulema to move excursively and create parallel power.

Humanitarian Intervention: Lessons from Libya

Ozhan Hancılar

Pamukkale University, IIBF, Denizli, Turkey

This paper will examine the 2011 Libya intervention from the perspective of international law and
look back at it as a humanitarian intervention. The international community’s response to the
humanitarian crisis in Libya was decisive and quick. The doctrine of “responsibility to protect” played
an important role in shaping this response. At first, military action in Libya was hailed as a model
intervention. But security in this country deteriorated rapidly and dramatically after the ouster of
Muammar Gaddafi. The initial success of the intervention has also been overshadowed by the failure
of the international community to protect civilians from atrocities committed during the Syrian civil
war.

The memory is the message. McLuhan: symbolism as parataxis

Andrea Lombardinilo

Department of Department of philosophical science, educational science, economics and statistics,


University "G. d’Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara, Italy

This proposal has a theoretical and hermeneutic perspective: it aims at investigating the role that
symbolism gains in McLuhan’s sociological research, pointing out how the study of memory and the
examination of the literary tradition is fundamental to understand, specifically, the developments of
communication and of cultural studies in their complexity.

The study revolves around the function of memory as interpretative key of future in the study of
symbolism carried out by McLuhan, since it’s exactly in this artistic movement that the sociologist
finds the opportunity to delete the representative practices (irrational and linear) of the modern man,
shaped by the reticular sensory of metropolis.

The analysis of McLuhan’s interpretation of symbolist poets shows a penetration inside the fractures
of communicative models, underlining that the linear connection of events is swept away from daily
life, declined according to the communicative instances of the interactive society.

In this frame, it will be pointed out how the linear connection of narrations is placed side by side by
reticular paths, according to a different conception of space in its hyper-textual dimension.

Consequently, it will be possible to focus on the mess of myths and symbols of the information
society, whose social impact is tied to the popular capacities of electric media. Today, as well as for
the past, writers are asked to interpret medial fluctuations of modernity, according to an endless
exegetic responsibility, based on the projective capability of memory.

THE ROLE OF KANT’S PHILOSOPHY IN THE DEVELOPMENT HISTORY OF


SOCIAL SCIENCES

Ogun Urek

Department of Philosophy, University of Uludag, Bursa, Turkey

With his arguments in the history of thought, Kant is one of the leading philosophers who had been a
milestone in many aspects. In fact, particularly with his human perception and its direct consequence,
his ethic approach, Kant is a step further compared to many philosophers in the history of philosophy.
At the same time, Kant is the underlying philosopher of human sciences and sociology which today
we call as social sciences. The science, according to Kant, has two characteristics. On one hand,
science, with its synthetic aspect, demonstrates a structure based on facts, which is enlarging,
everlasting and open to development at all times. On the other hand, science, with its’ a priori
character, presents precise consequences based on mind. Thus, in Kant, besides the precision of the
outcomes revealed; science, with its synthetic a priori character, demonstrates a structure permanently
open to development as well. According to him, natural sciences such as mathematics and physics
follows a course through a priori, namely mind-based on synthetic namely facts. Nevertheless, this
method is not the only way to do science. From another point of view, science can be done with an a
priori synthetic methodologic approach starting from a priori through synthetic. This science is called
as moral metaphysics namely ethics. Thus, Kant is the philosopher underlying the foundations of
todays’ social sciences in an effort to establish a ground, in his philosophy, such a brand new science
approach that has such a genuine method.

The great importance of such contribution of Kant once again demonstrates itself as we today observe,
at our every step in the tangible practical life, the examples of how ethics-centered reasoning is
important for social sciences such as law, economy and politics.

A THREAT FOR THE FUTURE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES: INTERDISCIPLINARY


APPROACH

Ogun Urek

Department of Philosophy, University of Uludag, Bursa, Turkey

Interdisciplinary approach that got off the ground recently in the world of science is a result of
increase in the scientific accumulation and further nesting of disciplines. As a result of collation, with
each other, of the accumulations of the disciplines, this approach that emerged to find out more
efficient solutions to problems encountered, led to an increase in the number of departments in
particular in the natural sciences and accordingly led to a need of approach, with a more
comprehensive and a broader perspective, to problems depending on the developments in social
sciences. But yet interdisciplinary approach poses an enormous threat for the future of social sciences
which has not fully accomplished its improvement. Because social sciences yet has not parted from
natural sciences and announced its’ independence. In social sciences, matters are still addressed
according to social sciences logic. Such that, those involved in this area even still lack the awareness
that this field has its authentic perspective and methodology. No doubt that interdisciplinary approach
is a productive approach for natural sciences. However, when involved in a collective study with
natural sciences, social sciences will more strongly present itself as an independent field and will fail
to survive its existence.

automotive industry, the work stoppage action which automotive employees start with the demand of
rise in wages in the May of 2015 has become a case which also influences the international
environment by gradually growing. In this case, automotive employees, who strongly believe that
benefits are not distributed fairly, decision processes related to benefits are not conducted fairly and
along with this process interpersonal relationships are not fair at the industrial union which they are a
member of, develop a negative perception concerning with the legitimacy of industrial union and after
all, this perception leads many employees to intend leaving the membership of industrial union and
also generally to leave.

three variables that are not handled together much in the literature more comprehensible. As stressed
above, the method of the study is case study. Case will be analyzed through the newspaper reports
which are published during the situation. Scanning will be done within the visual and written press, the
encountered contents of the news about the case will be examined towards the statements orientated
the perception of injustice, the perception of legitimacy of the industry union and turnover intention by
using Google search engine. At the end of the study, propositions will be offered about to test at future

psychology will be handled in this manner. This occasion, which shows different and relatively distant
nations’ sharing each other’s sorrows in such sincerity, made history as a sad but meaningful example
which shows that indeed nations are friends to each other despite sometimes being enemies within the

Organ and tissue transportation is a kind of intervention which is closely related with personal rights.
This kind of intervention is not accepted as a aggression to personel rights but instead confirming to
lawful legal acts. In recent years organ and tissue transportation become widespread. A new category
of crime emerged due to the essentialness. This crime is handled in article 91 to 93 of Turkish Penal
Code. It is also imposed sanctions. Organ or tissue trade crime is organised to include from death or
alive person in Turkish Penal Code. This intervention is just acceptable if it contains penal and
medical conditions. In this article we analyse organ or tissue trade crime regulations in Turkish Penal
Code. We also try to shed light to types of transportation, investigate legal conditions of intervention
and debated points of criminal elements.

After the general elections, expectations regarding the forthcoming government increase the
uncertainties on financial markets, and might increase the volitality. It is common in the economic
literature before the general elections stock market indices increase and decrease after the general
elections. Although there are a lot of studies on the examination of calendar effects, there are few
studies on general elections. In this study, term income differences before and after the elections have
been researched with parametric and non-parametric statistical methods based on BIST 30, 100 during
the period of 03.08.2002-19.06.2015. The results of the study can be differentiated according to each
election term, and the selected statistical significance level.

Anthropomorphology and Sexual Discourse in Printed Advertisements: A Semiological


Analysis of Popular Magazines

SIRMA OYA TEKVAR

Department of Business, Karabuk University, Karabuk, Turkey

Anthropomorphology is one of the advertising methods, which creates identification between the
consumer and the product, hence enables audience to empathize with the advertisement’s promises
and makes the advertisement more striking. On the other hand using sexual discourse –as a traditional
way to attract consumer- in advertisements is a powerful psychological appeal to sell products. No
matter what the gender or sexual tendency is, the major goal of advertising is to channel audience for
more consumption while creating ideal images such as ideal body, ideal femininity - masculinity or
ideal sexuality. Within this framework, this descriptive study aims at analyzing anthropomorphic and
sexual discourse in printed advertisements by the method of semiology, a science which seeks not the
open, clear meaning of a text or an image, but the meaning which lies beneath. Therefore popular
woman and man magazines such as FHM and Cosmopolitan are selected to analyze as purposive
samples.

Demand for health care services in Turkey: A Multinomial Logit Model

Sitkican Saracoglu

Department of Economics, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey

The purpose of the study is to assess the factors that determine demand for health care services and to
analyse the effect of each factor in Turkey. The data for this study was collected in a 3-month period
from February to April 2014 via questionnaries employed in İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir and our
sample was comprised of 613 individuals who are older than 20. Because our dependent variable
indicating the type of provider selected has three categories (such as public clinics, public-university
hospitals and private health care services), a multinomial logit model was estimated. In our
multinomial logit model, public-university hospitals was designated as the reference category and each
of the other levels was compared with this reference. In addition, there are thirteen explanatory
variables affecting patients’ choice of health care provider: gender, age, marital status, education,
income, household size, insurance type, chronic disease, waiting time, distance, perceived health
status, life standard and price sensitivity. Our findings reveal that marital status, education and life
standard are not statistically significant, however, gender, insurance type, chronic disease, waiting
time, distance and price sensitivity are statistically significant at %5 level in the choice of health care
provider. Being a woman and an increase in waiting time, are negatively related in all cases.
Conversely, having private health insurance, having higher income level, having smaller household
size and having chronic disease, increase the probability to prefer private health care services with
compared to public-university hospitals.

Liability Companies

Hediye Bahar Sayin

Anadolu Üniversitesi Hukuk Fakültesi Yunusemre Kampüsü Eskisehir/Turkiye

The lawmaker has bestowed the right to follow-up resignation to partners of limited liability
companies unlike joint stock companies (Turkish Commercial Code, article 639). Accordingly, in the
case a partner wants to resign from their company based on the regulation and the company Articles of
Association or files a resignation suit with a justified reason, the company manager must inform other
partners of the situation (TCC, article 639/1). Within one month after receiving the notification, if the
reason stated in the company Articles of Association applies them, as well, the partners are entitled to
notify their managers that they will follow the resignation or to assert the justified reasons by filing a
suit for participating in the resignation suit (TCC, article 639/2). Whether the partners who will
participate in the suit are required to draw upon the same provision or the same justified reason
contained in the company Articles of Association or whether it is possible to assert other justified
reasons are left open in the legislation. This study aims to interpret the provision of article 639/2 of
TCC within the scope of the doctrine and the referenced Swiss Obligations Code.

The Equal Treatment Obligation of the Board of Directors in Joint Stock Companies

Hediye Bahar Sayin

Anadolu Üniversitesi Hukuk Fakültesi Yunusemre Kampüsü Eskisehir/Turkiye

The principle of equal treatment stipulates equality among equals. In the Turkish joint stock company
law, it has been stated in article 357 of the Turkish Commercial Code, for the first time, that
shareholders must be treated equally and under equal conditions. This is a fundamental principle
which guides many processes from the preparation of the company Articles of Association to business
operations and then to the company organs. It is not stated clearly in article 357 of the TCC those who
are obliged to apply this principle. As equal treatment is a basic principle, the addressees of this
principle in the Turkish joint stock company law, as a rule, are general assemblies and boards of
directors.

Carrying out company management and representation, boards of directors are under the obligation of
acting in accordance with the principle of equal treatment as well as with the rule of devotion, trust
and truth in the performance of its tasks. A board must especially act in compliance with the obligation
of equal treatment in the context of the right to information and inspection, payment of share prices,
profit distribution and transactions between the company and the shareholders.

Other than exceptional situations in which unequal treatments are considered to be legitimate, various
sanctions may be imposed against a board due to unequal treatments: such as a liability suit,
invalidation suit.

Forming world-view by language An investigation on Nineteen Eighty-Four and


Newspeak of George Orwell

Hamdullah Sahin

Anadolu Üniversitesi Eğitim Fakültesi Alman Dili Eğitimi Anabilim Dalı, Eskişehir, Turkey

The connection between language and world-view has been a phenomenon questioned by many
philosophers and linguists throughout history. Many theories have been put forward about this matter
and from time to time; also states of the world have used language in forming world-view for
propaganda purposes. In George Orwell’s dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, the totalitarian state
Oceania aims to create a new language –Newspeak- for this purpose and with this language it aims to
efface dangerous concepts such as rebellion, disobedience and thought crimes from people’s minds.
While effacing words and concepts above mentioned, this new language, a huge project, intends to
abolish synonymous and antonymous words. Therefore, as the words disappear, the boundaries of
human mind will be narrowed down and people will not be able to think beyond these boundaries. The
purpose of the current study is to question whether human mind can be formed by re-forming the
language with that kind of propaganda if suitable conditions are provided within the light of scientific
theories. For this purpose, linguistic features of Newspeak will be matched with the theories of
philosophers and linguists. Newspeak will also be associated with the literature topics. In this study,
one of the qualitative research methods, document analysis method, was used. The results revealed
that the thought can be limited by the language in an atmosphere resembling to the one in the novel,
but not in current conditions of the world.

Remnants of Sumerian in Modern Languages

KAMPUSU, ESKISEHIR, TURKIYE

Though the Babylon myth is widely known as the myth that explains the birth of languages, in recent
years Sumerian language proves to be a more plausible source that contained some of the words,
which we still use today, thousands of years ago. This paper focuses firstly on very few widely-used
words that are still valid in contemporary English and Turkish languages, some of which are still
rather “intact” both orthographically and semantically, and some used synonymously still in our daily
lives, legal terminology, &c. Secondly, it focuses on the names of Gods and Goddesses that were
depicted in different mythologies from Mesopotamia to European Alps and Asia and Asia Minor
(Anatolia), whose roots are found in Sumerian Mythology (Ut/Ot, Anu, Inanna/Ishtar/Astrate, &c.)
sharing quite similar linguistic and mythological characteristics. Thirdly, this paper focuses on the
difficulties rising in correct pronunciation of the words and comprehension of the
homonyms/homophones in Sumerian language due to the significant differences between Sumerian
and Akkadian languages as Sumerian texts have been read and translated through Akkadian language,
which eventually caused Sumerian language to be defined as “banana language”. This
paper/presentation mainly aims to look at the concepts that are long taken for granted in a new
perspective, and to raise some new question marks under the light of English and Turkish languages.

ABSENCE OF WOMEN IN TURKISH LOCAL GOVERNMENT SYSTEM

Pinar Savas Yavuzcehre, Misra Cigeroglu Oztepe

Department of Poitical Science and Public Administration, Pamukkale University

Local governments (LGs) are the crucial service units because of their closeness to the citizens and the
local problems. Despite the increasing significance of the LGs, the representation of women in the
local units is quite limited. In most countries, women are less actively involved in political and
economic life than men. This doesn’t change in representation of women in LGs. However, LGs
should reflect the diversity and composition of the community they serve at all levels and especially at
elected level. In the world the percentage of women representation in LGs is about %20,9. In Europe,
as of 30 countries, the percentage is %23,9. These numbers are significantly low.

In Turkey, women’s representation in the elected positions in LGs is around %1,2. After the local
elections held in March 30, 2014; women politicians elected for 3 of 30 metropolitan municipalities;
37 of 1364 municipalities and 2198 of 20498 municipal councilor positions. These percentages have
not been changed much over the 85 years since women got the right to be elected in the country.

In this general framework, this study aims to evaluate the representation of women in the LG in
Turkey. In this context, the theoretical framework is examined and the data and statistics regarding the
issue will be analyzed. Therefore, the main objective of the study is to draw attention to the
representation of women in LGs in worldwide and to examine the status of women in Turkish LG
System in particular.

accumulation is seen starting from prehistoric times until the 21st century. There are many factors
which are transmitters of culture but it is a reality that some of these factors play a more active role in
defining cultural identity. Today Anatolia, largely inhabited by Turks together with people coming
from different ethnic communities and less inhabited, is a rich source of quality. Places where we can

CHARITIES OF BUDIN GOVERNOR SOKULLU MUSTAFA PASHA IN HUNGARY

Meryem Kacan Erdogan

Eskisehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi

Mustafa Pasha belonging to Sokullu family served such as ledger chamberlain, sandjakbeyi and
beylerbeyi (governor) in provinces besides palace services. He worked lastly in Budin as beylerbeyi
(1566-1578) for approximately 12 years. He was a good statesman and put great effort for building the
city, gave support to commercial activities and sought for keeping Budin people protected from all
kinds of threats and dangers. In this respect, he cared much sustaining the peace with Austria. Besides
that, he showed great religious tolerance and was in close relationship with catholic and protestant
institutions in Budin and Pest. His peaceful politics and religious tolerance created symphaty towards
him both among Turks and Magyars.

Mustafa Pasha's longstanding service in Budin as governor is directly related with the support and
protection of his uncle Sokullu Mehmed Pasha in the capital as well as his personality and statesman
qualifications. Nevertheless, Mehmed Pasha's loss of influence left Mustafa Pasha alone and he was
executed being found guilty in Budin fire of September 1578. Some rumours regarding his wealth
spread in Istanbul and other reasons played role in his execution.

The distinctive character of Mustafa Pasha which separates him from other Budin beylerbeyis is his
generosity and benevolentness. He participated in the building of many cities including his hometown
Bosnia and Budin among other cities in Hungary, and spent a considerable amount of his wealth for
foundational works that he made built. This speech examines Mustafa Pasha's foundations in Hungary,
primarily those in Budin, based on the vaqfiyyes, by benefiting from tahrir defterleri (cadastral
records) and travel accounts of local and foreign travellers.

Graduate Unemployment as a Form of Depreciation

Muharrem ASLAN

Department Of Sociology, University of Artuklu, Mardin

"The industrialization has provided a significant transformation in the social structure of the western
societies. Major demographic changes have taken place and people have migrated en masse from rural
to urban areas. In this frame, migrants knowledge, whic was achieved through activites in agricultural
areas in long time and ad functionality of this knowledge lost its importance in the cites. A similar
process was also partly experienced in different time line in Turkey. The very functional knowledge in
the rural area have become unimportant by migration of these people to the cities. In a similar way
today, as a result of a rapid technological development, the knowledge of the university graduates they
have acquired during their university education, loses its function very quickly. This rapid change and
transition can consume its mision in the short time and throught this, current knowledge also can lose
its validity in the labor market and depreciate or invalidate the owner of these knowledge . Specially,
the transition from standard manufacturing systems to flexible manufacturing systems has brought the
constant renewal of knowledge. This can be observed more clearly specially in countries where neo-
liberal policies are rigidly applied.

Concentrating on the unemployment of university graduates in Turkey, the main objective of this
paper is to analyze how the individuals that have knowledge acquired during university education lose
their importance for the labor market, especially with changes of economic policies and the changes in
production format. The paper aims to investigate the unemployment of university graduates in Turkey
and its causes.

The study consists of three main sections. The first section focuses on terms like value and
depreciation; the changes in production structure and the capitalist culture; the relationship between
the new capitalist culture and employment and the cumulative results of the new capitalist culture. The
second section consists of following five sub-title: The change process in the production structure in
Turkey; the implemented neo-liberal politics and their impacts on social life; the education level of the
individuals; the relationship between the new capitalist culture and unemployment of university
graduates; the invalidation and the increase of the Number of Unemployed University Graduates in
Turkey. Finally, the third part consists of the results and the suggestions, bibliography and

and the last giving most inspiration to new ways of explaining international relations with concepts
like hierarchically ordered international relations, non-violent action, Confucian idea of harmony and
good neighborhood policy etc.

Focusing on China’s soft power instruments culminated in good neighborhood policy I argue that
China not only try to reassure its neighbours about its peaceful rising but also try to construct an
alternative development model to persuade its neighbours to peaceful coexistence. In this paper, I will
research the opportunities of defining IR different from conflictual realist perspectives which
significantly bases their conceptualization on the dark side of Western experience. In other words, it is
neither rational nor acceptable to explain international relations through constructions only nourished
from the experiences of war and conflict. Thus both Western and non-Western perspectives which
focuses on cooperational aspects of international relations and concepts like good neighborhood, non
violent action, harmony and perpetual peace deserves much more attention to mitigate the conflict
based realist perspectives in IR. Because comparing the heritage of Western perspectives on
cooperative models of International Relations with the non-Western especially the Chinese ones may
contribute to develop models to better explain the complex nature of ınternational or world society
relations.

Ferudun Ata

Department of History Faculty of Letter Seljuk University

Because of industrialization, colonialism race among European states lead to war involving whole
World at the start of 20th century. Wealth which industrial revolution provided and especially leading
imperialist countries such as England, France, Russia, Germany and Italy which want to maintain this
wealth shared the world with some secret agreements. Ottoman State which had underground and
overground treasures that were one of the competition areas was included in those sharing plans and so
it could not stay non-combatant.

Upon going to war, Ottoman State took some safety measures in country as well as fronts. One of
those was to send from their places because citizens working of great powers such as Russia, England,
France and Italy in country for years became in an instant enemy state citizens. Those people worked
in Ottoman country in numerous fields like engineer, doctor, pharmacists, machinist or merchants.
Because of war conditions, Ottoman state banished those non-military people into inlands against their
spying possibility in favor of their countries. Sometimes those banishments were realized on the
purpose of reprisal against enemy countries.

Those people were obligated to live in cities and towns in the middle of Anatolia even if they were
Muslims. Because those were the citizens of enemy states. Some of those people had their family and
on condition that not to leave the towns, they lived as free, not like prisoners in camps. Those people
were not faced with a problem except for climate of their location, financial difficulty, and disease and
they were allowed to return their country towards the end of the war.

With this presentation, it was focused on safety measures taken by Ottoman State against civil citizens
of enemy states.

THE OBSTACLES IN WOMEN’S PATHWAY TO PRINCIPALSHIP

Tamer Kartal, Osman Ferda Beytekin

Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı

Women, just as their male counterparts, have a right to actively participate in leadership in any facets
of the society. For decades, principal positions have been associated with men and masculinity,
whereas teaching has been associated with females or as a feminine profession. Women were not
appointed into school administration because of the stereotypic attitudes toward them and the belief
that they were not as competent as men. The number of women serving in administrative roles is not
proportionate to the number of women in the teaching profession. This research tries to identify the
obstacles experienced by women, currently as teachers and administrative positions at schools. In
other words, this research asked female educators what reasons discouraged them from seeking
administrative positions and what would motivate higher interest from female educators to seek the
administration. This research was conducted during the 2014-2015 school year at Izmir Bayrakli
district and included 10 female school administrator and 25 female teachers. Using in-depth interviews
and a phenomenological qualitative approach, the researchers examined how these women perceived
that gender bias affected their accession to school administration.

CONTRADICTION OF MODERN DEMOCRACY AND CAPITALISM

Aslihan Akkoc

Department of Sociology, Faculty of Arts and Sci., Afyon Kocatepe University , Afyon

Modern demokrasi ve kapitalizm arasında varolan çelişkiyi ortaya koymak çalışmada


amaçlanmaktadır. Modern demokrasi, 17. ve 18.yy’larda ortaya çıkmaya başlarken, önceki demokrasi
deneyimlerinden farklılaşarak, özellikle liberal siyasal anlayıştan etkilenerek* gelişim sergilemiş ve
genel karakterini kazanmıştır. Kapitalizmin ortaya çıkışı ve gelişimi açısından bakıldığında ise;
kapitalizm çok geniş bir toplumsal ve tarihsel bir mesele olmakla birlikte, sermayeyi büyütme odaklı
bir üretim süreci ve bunun için de maliyetin düşük, kârın yüksek tutulduğu bir ekonomik ve toplumsal
mekanizma olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu süreçte, kapitalizmin ortaya çıktığı dönemlerden beri
gelişmesine katkı yapan en önemli anlayış liberal anlayıştır.

Dolayısıyla modern demokrasi ve kapitalizm ortak bir zeminden ve kaynaktan ortaya çıkan ve
birbirlerine yakın dönemlerin ürünü ve hatta birbirleriyle ilişkileri itibariyle neredeyse birbirlerini
bütünleyen toplumsal, siyasal ve ekonomik yapılar olduklarını da söylemek mümkündür.

Modern demokrasi ve kapitalizm ortaya çıkış koşulları itibariyle bakıldığında; ortak bir zeminden
liberalizmden kaynaklanmaktadırlar. Buna rağmen bu iki toplumsal ve ekonomik kurum süreç
içerisinde sonuçları itibariyle birbirleriyle çelişmektedirler. İfade edilen çelişki, bütünselliğe içkin bir
çelişkidir. Ortak bir yaklaşımın ürünü olarak tarihsel süreçte karşımıza çıkan bu iki kurumun gelişen
süreç içerisinde ortaya konan sonuçlar itibariyle birbirleriyle çeliştiğini iddia etmekteyiz. Tarihsel
açıdan bakıldığında, 17. ve 18.yy’larda kölelik, modern demokraside 20. yy’a kadar sınırlı oy
kullanma hakkı ve kapitalist ilişkilerin mantığı açısından mesele açığa çıkmaktadır. “Modern
demokrasi” ile “kapitalist ekonomi” hem birbirini bütünlemekte hem de, ortaya koydukları sonuçlar
bakımından karşıtlıklar içermektedirler. Modern demokrasinin insan hakları kavramı ile kapitalist
ekonominin ortaya çıkardığı insan yaşamı üzerindeki olumsuz sonuçların çeliştiğini iddia etmekteyiz.

Socio-Psychological Factors Causing ‘Voluntary Servitude’ in the 21st century

Ferihan Polat, Özlem Özdeşim İkiz

Siyaset Bilimi ve Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü, Pamukkale Üniversitesi, Denizli, Türkiye

Since the beginning of human being the fact of obedience, approval and submission to the decision
and acts of governors by the governed, recognized as a great virtue. The thinker of 20st century Erich
Fromm classified the fact of obedience as introvert and extrovert. The introvert obedience is defined as
individual gives up their own free will; s/he accepts someone else’s will and decision’s instead of
his/her own decision. The extrovert obedience is explained as submission of individual to his/her own
mind and beliefs, this obedience is just an approval to the acts of governors not a submission. The
decisions and acts of individual are not shaped by others judgments and decisions, yet it is shaped by
his/her own free will and judgments.

On the other hand, Laboétie claims that giving orders by governor and approval of these orders by the
governed is two essential elements of obedience and both of them causes ‘voluntary servitude’. The
term of voluntary servitude, puts forward to explain the power relations in the 16st century by famous
French thinker Laboétie, is basic element of political theory. This theory has completely different
perspective in respect of explaining the power relations and focusing on the problem of how people
obey, than other theories developed at that time. Laboétie focuses on the factors causing this servitude
in the political theory and he claims that every political system and regime has the fact of ‘voluntary
servitude’, therefore, there is no such a political society consists of free people.

Although all kind of scientific, social and political achievement of enlightenment until 21st century,
the term of voluntary servitude can still be seen in political society nowadays. The purpose of this
study is to understand psychological factors causes of voluntary servitude and the socio-economic
reasons of these psychological factors. For this purpose, this study analyzes psychic process causes
voluntary servitude, personality structure and social conditions creates these personality structures.

New media technologies have made possible to use any kind of media in a cell phone because of
convergence. Unfortunately, legal regulations cannot keep up with this speed. Basic human rights are
supposed to be for everyone but when it comes to discriminated people double standards are applied.
Turkey is the one the countries who uses this double standards for a long time. In the context of
developing democracy, Turkey is considered who cares about human rights more than before. In the
consideration of human rights, the concept of democracy is ignored when it comes to gay people.
Especially their basic human rights, like protection. Since communication age made everything fast
and trackable, gay people started to use new media technologies like other people. They started to use
it to meet people based on location easily but in the lack of protection given by law enforcements, they
witness human rights violations. This research shows how gay people who uses cell phone apps to
meet people are exposed to human right violations. Interview with 3 gay people who uses these
applications is used as a research method to understand what is happening in their life who has equal

In the global world, the creation of the supply chain has made it possible to use reliable, cheap and fast
transportation. However, it has also become more difficult to get into competition. In this
environment, businesses are supposed to make economic and qualified production as well as providing
a more effective service. They are also obliged to deliver the products whenever and wherever the
clients demand and also meet their expectations in terms of quality. Thus, logistic activities have
become a measurement of performance which directly influences the competitive capacities of
businesses. For these reasons, logictics play a major role in world economy and it is one of the most
important tools of world trade. It is even more important for developing countries, which have a big
potential for growth. This study includes 27 countries which have higher rates in the Logistics
Performance Index (LPI) and described as 'high income countries' according to the LPI rating. The
study will measure the effect of the macroeconomic indicators of these countries on the LPI using
regression analysis. According to the results of the analysis, countries with higher LPI scores have
better economies.

Foundational works which are indispensable to Ottoman social life are the reflection of the charity
concept. These works leave their mark on Islamic city integratively and collectively. Numerous
mosques and prayer rooms, schools for education, madrasahs, libraries, public buildings for social
services like imaret, inns, hamams, darüşşifas, religious lodges (tekke and zaviye), bazaars were put in
effect through foundations. New cities were built and existing ones had new outlooks thanks to
foundations as signs of civilization.

Ottoman geography was adorned with numerous foundational works which were built by sultans and
dynasty, statesmen and wealthy philanthropists rivalling each other in doing charity and thereby social
needs were met. Some of this kind charity institutions were built by İbrahim Paşa, who was once the
friend and even the confident, and then the grand vizier of Suleiman the Maginificent,and then lost his
respect and called as maktul meaning “killed”.

This speech tells about İbrahim Paşa’s foundational works in Selanik, Kavala, Zihne and Eğriboz and
the income that he granted for building of those works. The sanctuary which is called as Ayasofya
Church in Selanik and was converted to mosque and buildings constructed around it, the mosque,
madrasah, hamam and water wells in the surroundings, houses, rooms which were built in Kavala, a
zaviye which was built in a village of Zihne district, and finally the madrasah and hamam which he
made built in Eğribozare introduced within the framework of the speech. Additionally, based on the
vaqfiyye that is found in the Archives of the General Directorate for Foundations the speech gives
information regarding movable and landed estates granted by Paşa for construction of mentioned
works, officers employed in the establishments and their duties and salaries. Data related to the
functioning of the foundation also is evaluated in the speech, which was obtained by relying on
materials found among numerous documents and defters available for examination in the archives.

The Development of the Matrimonial Property Law in Certain European Countries and
Turkey in Accordance with the Principle of Equality

Senar Çağırgan Tuncer, Şebnem Meral Yalçın

Pamukkale University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences

In the conjugal union established by marriage, all issues arising out of the assets of the spouses are
arranged by the regulations on matrimonial regimes. From the patriarchal understanding of the past,
unfavorable legal results had emerged for women. The patriarchal understanding inevitably envisaged
different roles for husband and wife in the family economy (Harris-Short and Miles, 2011:432).
According to this, one of the parties used to work outside to bring money for the sustenance and
sheltering of the family and the other dealt with the housework. In this case, when the marriage
dissolved, the spouse who was not working outside used to fall in a far greater disadvantage (Harris-
Short and Miles, 2011:432).

It took too long even for the modern western societies to bring down the the patriarchal understanding
of the past in the Family Law which gave different roles to the spouses and abolish the privileged
position of the husband, thus giving way to a new understanding based on equality (Gürkan,
1978:386).

In our study, the concept of the property regime is explained in general terms; then the latest
developments in Western Europe concerning the property regimes are taken into consideration. Lastly,
the developments in Turkey will be analyzed in its historical details starting from the Islamic legal
understanding of the past to the modern period where the Turkish legislations are based on the
Continental European Law.

Women Employment in Services Sector: What has changed? What's the same?

Nagihan Durusoy Öztepe

Pamukkale Üniversitesi İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi C Blok Kat:3 Kınıklı / Denizli

As in all the World the share of services sector in employment is increasing in Turkey. Until the last
twenty years the agricultural sector employment has a significant share in the economy. With
decomposition in agricultural area, agricultural sector employment decreased and began to shift to
non-agricultural sectors. According to the data of Turkey Statistics Institution (TURKSTAT) in March
2015, %20 individuals are in agriculture employment, %20,5 are in industrial, %6,9 are in
construction and %52,6 are in services sector. Compared to industrialized countries, the agricultural
sector has still an important share in employment but a significant portion of employment is realized in
the services sector. Another notable factor is the limited growth in industrial employment. This case
shows us that, while the employment rate in agriculture is declining, these labor surpluses are
employed in the services sector. Services sector has a heterogeneous structure therefore it is a major
economic activity in terms of women's employment. According to the data of Turkey Statistics
Institution’s (2011), 4 out of every 10 women are employed in the services sector and the increase in
female employment in the services sector is higher than men.

The purpose of this study is analyzing the women's employment in the service sector according to the
service sub-sector. The status of women's employment in the services sub-sectors were examined
using micro data sets of Turkey Statistical Institute Household Labour Force Survey between the years
2008-2013. Services sub-sectors are classified according to the statistical classification of economic
activities in the European Community (NACE REV 2).

This study is based on the following assumptions:

Significant portions of women’s employment in the services sector are concentrated in low-qualified
jobs that do not require qualifications.
Skilled and educated women are very few in the performance of professional jobs in the service sector
compared to men.

The observed gender-based occupational segregation in the industrial sector is also in the services
sector.

Human rights are rights to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national
or ethnic origin, religion or any other status. Because of this principle, human rights are no more
concern of a nation's law system, but become an international concept. The best regime that protects
human rights is democracy and democracy as a system of government protects fundamental freedoms
of individuals. European Union accepts democracy and human rights as the fundamental rights and
gives priority to protecting these values by preparing and establishing agreements. European Union
sets out the conditions of redesigning the institutions for guaranteeing democracy, the rule of law and
human rights for candidate countries to EU accession and the Union does not start the pre-accession
process with the candidate countries that do not meet these constitutional requirements. The Council
decided to open accession negotiations with Turkey on 3 October 2005 in Luxemburg Summit and this
process is still ongoing and The Council annually declared Progress Report for Turkey. In adaptation
process, Turkey has made great improvements in terms of human rights and democracy. Especially the
newly reforms in criminal laws have supported the required regulations that guarantee human rights
and democracy. In this study, the reforms in criminal laws were analyzed in details together with the
framework of EU comments and the Process Reports.

Testamentary in Roman Law

Guzide Burcu GÜNVEREN

Roman Law, University of Uludağ, Bursa, TURKEY

The process of manumitting a slave by will (manumissio testamento) is one of the factors that enabled
him to obtain his freedom, ending his slavery in Roman law. The master of the slave, who prepared
the will, could directly free the slave upon the command that he stated in the testament. Moreover, in
accordance with the statement of the person who made the will, the process of manumission by will
could be fulfilled through a disposition imposing the freedom of the slave subject to a death by the
testator’s heir or to whom he legated a certain property in his favor. In this case, either the person who
became the master or the person who was legated a property in his favor conducted the manumission.
If the testator added a condition or set a due date for releasing the slave in the will, so as to perform the
process of manumission, it was necessary to wait until the condition was fulfilled or until the due date
arrived. In this period during which the slave waited for his freedom, the legal status of the slave is
defined as statuliber. When the condition was fulfilled or the due date arrived, the slave would be free
ipso iure even if the heir transferred him to another person.

saloons and well educated audience with its improving quality, the local dynamics in different
countries had a way pretty much to a kind of betterment of the cinema industry in general. Yet, looked
through the local dynamics, it could easily be seen that the cinema industry develops not only through
in its general sense but in a local sense in each and every country with its own dynamics. The main
aim of this research is to understand the dynamics of cinema industry, the importance of creative
industries for regional development, cultural policies, implications regarding the data and findings
including entrepreneurship, creativity, innovations and human engeineering. How human development
process and education in creative industries work is another issue to be discussed. Aiming to find out
how the universities, the industry and business dynamics, technology, innovation and knowledge
transfer between universities and business work would be figured out just to see how the local
dynamics are motivating the industry. The paper aims to find out how these dynamics work in Turkey
deveeloping its own ways to make the sector motivated.

A SOCIOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NEW YEAR CELEBRATIONS IN TERMS OF


RELIGION AND SECULARIZATION (KAHRAMANMARAŞ SAMPLE)

İlbey Dölek

Erciyes Üniversitesi, Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Kayseri

Religion” has an increasing importance in the globalized and modernized new world order. However,
secularization theories are put forward and sociological studies have revealed different results from
each other. On the other hand, secularism describes the space in which religious values are negligible
or neutralized and also religious differences like belief, practice, or feelings are unimportant. In
metaphysical terms, the secularism naturalizes the supernatural; in social terms, it humanizes the
sanctus. Becoming a global entertainment, the new year celebrations have been increasingly involved
in our lives in recent years. Preperations such as decorations of the shopping centers, christmas trees,
buying gifts to friends, special activities in cafes, ornamentations of streets and squares have been
done on celebration days. Although the new year celebrations are done for only entertainment, there
are different point of views about it in society. Is the religion effective in the New Year celebrations?
Is there any role of religion and secularization in determining the forms of celebrations? With this
questions, we aim to reveal the different ideas of the people have a conservative structure in
Kahramanmaraş. Quantitative and qualitative research techniques were used in this study. Our sample
group is composed of 166 randomly chosen people reside in Dulkadiroğulları and Onikişubat district
areas of Kahramanmaraş. In addition, some participants were only interviwed in order to contribute to
the survey. According to the results, the number of people who celebrates the new year is less than the
others .Also , the number of people who participate in the other alternative new year celebrations is
very low and most of them are young people. Results show us that most of the people in the survey
think traditionaly conversative about the celebrations. But it also shows that the effects of
modernization and secularization are clear on the young people who celebrate the new year outside
with their friends.

An Analysıs on the Opinions of Lu Xun in Transition from Traditionalism to Modernity


in China

Ist. Univ. Ed. Fak. Ordu Cad. No 196 34459 Laleli-Fatih-Istanbul, Turkey

As the founder of modern and realistic Chinese literature, Lu Xun brought great services to the
Chinese people in literature, education, translations and reforms. As a versatile historical figure, Lu
Xun received a very deep-rooted and well-established education in Classical Chinese, held very
significant offices and went to Japan for studying medicine as his grandfather bequeath him to go to
Japan or to Europe to this end. During his stay in Japan, Lu Xun strongly believes that the sole way to
eliminate and overcome underdevelopment is to adopt a westerner approach, thus begins to pen
articles from perspective that criticizes society. He holds bureaucratic offices when he turns back to
homeland, and makes translations from the western literature. He begins to take up an active role by
way of literature upon influence of the restoration period that emerged in China after 1915, as well as
the social poverty that gradually aggravated in China.

As it will be understood from the foregoing, what Lu Xun intended to do was to save the society he
lived in from obsolete and oppressive rules, and to bring it to an equal level as modern societies. By
way of his works written to serve this purpose, he guided the Chinese people towards modernisation in
literature, education and social life. As Lu Xun put it, the Chinese people needed to turn to the western
world in order to eliminate darkness, oppressive and repressive influence of the obsolete system.
China's invasion by Japan made Lu Xun extremely upset, and he dedicated himself to and succeeded
in persuading his people to fight against the obsolete culture and to generate a new national identity.
He masterfully employed literature in his fight.

In this study, as a Turkish Sinologist, efforts will be made to scrutinize Lu Xun's approach to Chinese
traditionalism and modernisation, and whether his guidance offered to the Chinese people as a
salvation is modernisation or westernisation by nature, consequently to reveal his approach to and
perception of his own traditional culture on his way to modernisation.

of the football players were higher than the other branches. While the decline in the static balance
performance after the Wingate test was statically meaningful in football, basketball and handball
branches, the changes in the dynamic balance performance after the Wingate test it was not statically
meaningful in any of the branches. Both the pre-test and post- test scores in static and dynamic balance
showed a strong positive correlation with the height and body weight for all subjects. Furthermore, it
was noticed that the pre-test and post- test score in static balance showed a positive meaningful
correlation with average power values of the pre-test score in dynamic balance. All the other balance
scores, except pre-test scores in leg power and dynamic balance, showed a meaningful positive
correlation.

It was observed that the static and dynamic balance of the athletes in five sport branches with different
structural features had differences and the balance performances of the football players were higher
compared to other branches. Besides, while the static balance performances just after the tiring
Wingate test affected negatively in football, basketball, and football branches, any negative effect in
dynamic balance performances was not noticed in any of the branches.

Problems and problem-solving are essential parts of life. A problem is an action creatimg the need for
solving in an individual; and a solution, which is not known by an individual; however, is still worked
on to be solved (Charles and Lester at al Baykul, 1999). One of the important aspects of the problem-
solving process consists of problem-solving strategies. The use of appropriate problem-solving
strategies and problem solving steps are significant in terms of succeeding at solving problems.

The aim of this study is to investigate the usage level of problem solving and problem-solving
strategies of secondary school students. The study was conducted by using the sampling method with a
total of 72 students from the two provinces in the Black Sea region of Turkey selected by random in
the second term of the 2014-2015 academic year. In this qualitative research for the case study,
content analysis was applied. The data obtained were submitted to the views of two experts so as to
achieve reliability and validity of the study, moreover; correspondence percentage was calculated.

In the study, we used three creative problems developed by Smith (1997) as data collection tools, and
adapted them into Turkish. The problems applied were evaluated according to Polya's stage of
problem solving (1945). Prediction and control, logical reasoning, predicting, and establishing
connections strategies were also used in both of the problems. In the evaluation phase of the problems,
the results obtained from both of the problems suggested that the students are successful at evaluating
the answers they provided.

COMMERCIAL FILM ANALYSIS

Feryal GÜNAL, Zafer TURAL

ÇOMU Çanakkale/TURKEY

Mass media growing with communication technology is in an extensively crucial position, both
socially and culturally. Mass media, which has constantly been giving explicit and implicit messages
to us how to describe the world and how to live, has explored a communication way that is now
beyond sending messages, and has created a way that now impresses, persuades, manipulates, even
dictates.

Commercials are the main financial sources for mass media tools. Commercials have functions such as
having a product preferred and introducing it, and creating need for that product. The methods
commercials use to perform these functions have been considerably improved firstly by
communication and by the relationships they formed with many disciplines. For these reasons, many
disciplines that include visual, auditory, language characteristics should be applied together when a
commercial is analyzed.

The commercial that is examined in this research is about promotion of one of the new productions
called “Fritos Shots” which has been published in a commercial series under the notion of “Doritos
Academy” created by firm called “Doritos”. Verbal expressions, sound effects, musical statements,
atmosphere and objects employed in the commercial are examined with analyses. Moreover, it is tried
to identify what kind of messages are given to the consumer. Semiotics,which has been represented by
such researches as Ferdinand Saussure, Roland Barthes and Umberto Eco, creates the theory of this
research.

An Assessment on Religious Geopolitics of the Balkans

Muhammed Murat Arslan

Turgut Ozal University

The Balkans has been rich in terms of lingual, religious, cultural and ethnic diversity for its history. It
is inevitable that this diversity contributed the Balkans. When the last two centuries is considered, it is
found out that this diversity turned into a matter of conflict and this area faced serious problems. The
effects of the geography into the politics of the countries are in the field of geopolitics. Energy
potential, distance from economically important areas, seaports etc. of a country are being considered
when geopolitics is studied. Additionally, the factors like language, culture and history are also in the
study area of the geopolitics. Religious geopolitics, which can be defined as the social science of the
effects of beliefs and the religious symbols into the politics, is one of the most important term to
understand the Balkans as the identities formed by religions are very important elements for societies
to understand themselves. The religions alive in the mentioned area are Catholic and Orthodox
Christianity, Islam and Judaism. In the history of Balkans, both the ages of conflict caused by religious
identities and the ages of unique peace can be found. In this research, the effects of religious
references into the domestic politics of the Balkans and the approaches of the other countries to the
mentioned area in the frame of religious geopolitics are going to be studied. Furthermore, it is going to
be evaluated that in what ways the different fractions of one religion influences the geopolitics of the
mentioned region. The main focus of the research is going to be the religious geopolitics of the
Balkans. Both the historical stages of the topic and the current reflections of it are going to be
mentioned. Finally, it is going to be indicated broadly that what the religious geopolitics means for the
Balkans.

WHY SHOULD I SHARE? EXAMINING MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS OF


KNOWLEDGE SHARING IN MANUFACTURING FIRMS

Bilge Aksay, Mevhibe Ay Türkmen

Adana Science and Technology University ADANA

At macro level, countries try to increase their knowledge producing capacity via different political and
economic implications, whereas firms try to create knowledge based technology, products and
services, at worst try to adapt them as they are appraised a firms’ most competitive and valuable asset.
But at the core of the knowledge creating and sharing process resides individuals, so this research aims
to understand individual knowledge sharing behavior and knowledge sharing fear. We will test Ipe’s
(2003) conceptual framework on knowledge sharing among manufacturing firms in Adana province,
Turkey . In this framework, factors that influence knowledge sharing between individuals in
organizations are motivation to share, opportunities to share and nature of knowledge under a given
cultural work environment. We, specifically focused on motivation factors for sharing knowledge,
conceptualized as knowledge as power, reciprocity, relationship with recipient, and rewards for
sharing. Knowledge as a source of power which may lead to fear of losing one's unique value was
measured by knowledge sharing fear scale (Renzl 2008), reciprocity was measured knowledge sharing
scale (Liao, Fei et al. 2007) which has two sub dimensions as donating and knowledge collecting to
measure the degree of knowledge sharing between employees in a firm. Relationship with recipient
has two elements as trust and the power and status of the recipient thus investigated by interpersonal
trust at work scale (Cook and Wall 1980). In order to analyze rewards for sharing, real and perceived
rewards for individuals that come from sharing knowledge, items adapted from Bock and Zmud’s
(2005) research were used. Finally the effect of organizational culture, examined from innovativeness
of the firm on hypothesized motivation factors for sharing knowledge indicated in the model will be
analyzed.

This article, based on a review of existing literature in knowledge sharing area, tests a model that
identifies motivational factors of knowledge sharing in organizations. The preliminary results of the
research show that knowledge sharing fear and the reciprocity factors play a very important role on
innovativeness of a firm. Following hierarchical regression analysis of preliminary research results,
some recommendations for manufacturing firms will also be presented.

Administration, Edirne, Turkey

Under intensive competition, modern organizations have to incorporate employees with various
characteristics. Analyzing those characteristics gains importance in order to increase performance and
job satisfaction level and to gain competitive advantage against other organizations. It is a fact that
employees display behaviors in line with their demographic characteristics. Said behaviors direct
employees to positive activities intended for organization's purposes. On the other hand, negative
behaviors push them to undesired behaviors by the organization. Those negative behaviors, named as
deviant workplace behaviors, are affected by many internal and external factors. Deviant workplace
behavior has several personal, social, organizational and economic effects. Deviant workplace
behavior has to be examined in details due to its importance and broad content in terms of employees
and organizations.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of academicians’ demographic characteristics on
deviant workplace behavior. In this context; the notion of deviant workplace behavior has been
explained. Afterwards, a questionnaire has been implemented on academicians working at a state
university. Gained data has been analyzed with the help of statistical package and it has been
commented on the results.

The Effect of Demographic Characteristics on Nepotism: A Research on Academicians

Isil Usta

Trakya University, Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences, Department of Business


Administration, Edirne, Turkey

Nepotism, also known as favoritism of diverse kinds, is a problem encountered in professional life.
Nepotism stands for appointing unauthorized people for a job. In organisations where nepotism
prevails, favoritism can be observed in a number of practices such as recruitment, distribution of tasks,
performance measurement, payments, and promotions. Employees working in organisations with
nepotism are considered to be acquaintances, relatives, friends, family members, or people supporting
the same political or religious view; rather than for their knowledge, skills, success, and experience.
This leads to a biased management of organisations. Nepotism damages not only organisations, but the
employees as well. Employees constitute the main structure of organisations and expect to be treated
in a fair and equal way. On the other hand, nepotism harms the sense of justice in organisations,
causing a lack of confidence. Employees who lose their confidence in the organisation and conceive
that their expectancies are not met could harm the organisation in the long term by delaying their
work, being absent, or quitting work.

The purpose of this study is to measure the effect of academicians’ demographic characteristics on
nepotism. In accordance with this purpose, the notion of nepotism has been explained. Afterwards, the
findings and results of the questionnaire implemented on academicians, have been revealed.

Trakya University, Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences, Department of Business


Administration, Edirne, Turkey

When employees can not communicate well in working life, it causes various problems with each
other. This leads to the feeling of loneliness. The causes of loneliness are varied and include social,
mental or emotional factors. The feeling of loneliness arises from human emotions such as
abandonment, isolation, depression, insecurity, anger, hopelessness, insignificance. Another situation
evolving in the context of that feeling is the fact of silence. Employees in work life consciously or
unconsciously avoid sharing information that can benefit their organizations. The notion of
organizational silence, defined as avoiding thoughts and worries on organizational problems, has
important effects in terms of employees and organizations.

The purpose of this study is to measure the relationship between loneliness and organizational silence
on academicians. In this study, the relationship between the notions of organizational silence and
loneliness has been examined using Organizational Silence Scale and Loneliness Scale. It has been
commented on the findings with the help of statistical software package.

Belgrade Şehrengiz (Poem, Introducing the City) of Hayreti, One of Rumelian Poets

Berrin Akalin

Abant İzzet Baysal Üniversitesi, Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi, Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü
Gölköy/BOLU

Rumelian Poets have the distinguished place in the Classical Turkish Poem. Most of the poets, who
are listed in the collection of biographies, were born in Rumeli. They became the pioneer on some
subjects and made the significant contributions to the Classical Turkish Poem.

The tradition of writing Şehrengiz in our literature was also started by the Rumelian poets. The region,
where the Ottoman invaded in Europe and extends from Thrace to the Balkans, is known as Rumeli.
Sometimes, Rumeli is called as Balkans (Şemseddin Sâmî 1996: III/2376; III/1632; IV/2852;
Gökbilgin 1956: 247-285; İnciciyan-Andreasyan 1974: 11-88; Pitcher 1999; Özbaran 2004). The
borders of Rumeli had always changed depending on the conquest movements, and began to
narrowing from the century XVII.

With the invasion and inhabiting of Rumeli that were started in the century XIV, the culture life awoke
with the contributions of Evrenosoğulları, the raider who was active in Rumeli (İsen 1998: 80-86;
Arslan 2001) and of Abdullah İlâhî, the Sufi (TDEA 1981: IV/358). The cities such as Edirne,
Gallipoli, Sarajevo, Serres, Vardar Yenicesi, Skopje, Bitola, Plovdiv, Thessaloniki, Sophia and
Belgrade had become an important culture and art center in a short time.

The poem under the title of “Der-ta’rîf-i Belgrat ve Dilberân-ı ân-Şehr” in murabba form in the divan
of Hayretî, who raised in Vardar Yenicesi that was one of those culture centers, is a şehrengiz that was
written for Belgrade. The poet praises the beauties of Belgrade throughout thirteen versicles with
repeating verse, “Nazîrin görmedim yârân bu şehr-i cennetâsânın”. Even though Hayretî travelled
worldwide, he did not see any place as beautiful as Belgrade. The Belgrade’s stone is Bedahşan ruby,
soil is musk and amber, the water is selsebil river or Kevser. Its people are the angels with nymph
face. This is like a garden of Eden with the numerous beauties having the angle appearance, with the
very beautiful face, Kevser lips, tuba tall… After the poet praises Belgrade, he wishes Belgrade to live
until the Judgment Day in the last versicle which he mentions the name of Belgrade.

İlâhî bu Beligrad’un esâsın üstüvâr eyle

İçinde cümle mahbûbın cihân durdukça var eyle

Belâ-keş Hayretî’nün cânın anlara nisâr eyle

Nazîrin görmedüm yârân bu şehr-i cennetâsânun

HayretîMr 33/13

Hayretî has also a second şehrengiz in Mesnevi form with 261 verses which is not available in divan
about Belgrade (For the text and evaluation, see: Çavuşoğlu 1974: 325-356). In this abstract, Belgrade
will be discussed in Hayreti’s perspective and his place and significance in the culture life will be
reviewed.

Testing a multidimensional model to measure well-being among university students:


experience from Italy and Serbia

Belgrade University, Faculty of Medicine, School of Public Health, Dr Subotica 15, 11000 Belgrade,
Serbia

Standardized well-being measures are increasingly being included in national surveys as a supportive
tool in policy-making and to foster cross-national comparisons. However, one of the main challenges
in well-being research is to elaborate multidimensional models and its components. Accordingly, our
goal was to test a comprehensive multidimensional model of well-being (MWB) across Italy and
Serbia.

This pilot study included a consecutive sample of Italian (N=112; Mage=24.61; age range=19-29;
69% females) and Serbian (N=94; Mage=22.65; age range=19-29; 70% females) university students.
Participants filled in an anonymous questionnaire investigating self-perceived well-being in different
life domains: overall life situation, relationships, community, occupation, physical health, and
psychological health. In addition, following the OECD Guidelines on Measuring Subjective Well-
being, we included two control measures: life satisfaction and eudaimonic well-being, i.e. good
psychological functioning.

An Exploratory Factor Analysis on MWB’s domains reported a one-factor solution in both Italian
(53.1% of total variance explained) and Serbian (55.1%) sub-groups. On these bases, Multigroup
Confirmatory Factor Analysis tested measurement invariance across sub-groups, yielding satisfactory
fit results, χ2=52.64, df =30, p<.01, CFI=.94, TLI=.94; RMSEA=.06. A composite mean score for
MWB was calculated for Italian (α=.81) and Serbian (α=.84) samples. Bivariate correlations, using
Pearson’s r, indicated that MWB’s scores were significantly correlated (at p<.01) with life satisfaction
(r=.73 and r=.65 for Italians and Serbians, respectively) and eudaimonic well-being (r=.69; r=.58).

These results can stimulate the adoption of more comprehensive models of well-being to enhance
cross-national research in this field. Further longitudinal researches are needed to test reliability and
validity across time.

Eskişehir Osmangazi Üniversitesi, Fen_edebiyat Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü, F 4 Blok, No. 116.

After industrial revolution, the structure of global economy got changed. Developed countries was
trying to encourage manufacturing raw material and to prevent industrial material in the countries
which they saw as the source of raw materiel and the market of product.

İn the 19th century, Ottoman Empire had a range of raw material and production. European contries
desiring provide a role to the Ottomans as raw material producter in international division of work
wanted them to give up industrial production but to bring only raw material out. On top of that, each
European country who wanted the Ottomans to be only a raw material producer pushed the Ottoman
manifacturers to produce based on its own needs.

Although all military, political superiority and effort of European countries could not have a direct
impact on the production in Ottoman Empire. In this work, I will argue that Ottoman Empire was
never evolved a monoculture economy; nonetheless, its production was aeffected by the needs of
European markets.

situation significantly affects their behavior, their physical, moral, social and psychological
development. This requires direct work with the child and his family. It is also necessary to work with
him individually and in a group in cooperation with teachers. Undoubtedly that social work with
children in the school area in time of crisis require from the social worker sufficient skills and
information about the problems suffered by children in such times. This paper discusses the impact of
wars and conflicts on children's behavior and their physical, social, psychological and moral
development. As well as this paper will discuss the role of social work in working with these children
in the school field, which skills and information social workers must have and which services must be

PSYCHODRAMA WITH SEXUAL ASSAULT SURVIVORS

Ilkay Basak Adiguzel

Department of Social Work, Hacettepe University, Ankara, Turkey

Group psychotherapy and psychodrama are two methods that feed one another and are used together
(Altınay, 2007: 31-32). Psychodrama is a more clinical form of group psychotherapy. Though its point
of origin is experimental theatre, it has evolved from this feature and turned into a more structured
method (Tahar and Kellermann, 1996). The psychodramatic approach establishes a relationship with
individuals through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, intuitive, intellectual, emotional, relational,
behavioral, and similar channels (Pramann, 2008: 2). That shows that psychodrama has a rich holistic
content for coping with different problems. Mostly used in group work, the psychodrama method is
considered by mental health specialists effective in treating a lot of mental and relational problems.
Sexual assault to women is a destructive experience for body and spirit. Women are traumatized again
and again by the fact that sexual assault events are not reported to judicial authorities because of
shame, fear, and so on; women have to prove their sexual assault claims; and processes related to
health, security, and legal rights are not women-oriented. Therefore, group psychodrama that provides
an individual with the awareness that s/he is the actor of his/her own life is considered effective in
repairing the sense of confidence; reducing feelings of guilt, shame, and fear; strengthening him/her
psychosocially; revealing the destructive effects of experiences on him/her; and making him/her lead a
good and balanced life through ensuring the unity of his/her self and life. This study focuses on group
psychodrama method in the case of women experiencing sexual assault.

This research aims to display the profile of female convicts and to analyze the dimensions of female
criminality in Turkey. In this research, quantitative method is used. The data have been collected from
240 female convicts who were imprisoned in 6 female prisons in Turkey. In accordance with the
findings of research, characteristics of female convicts and facts that affect women criminality
unearthed. The results of the research show that female criminality is related to several factors and that
it is parallel with the related literature. The research group displays that women’s family and their own
experiences are determining factors in female criminality. It is seen that the structure of the family, the
environment, childhood experiences, married life, and experience of violence, substance addiction,
and impoverishment are important factors in female criminality. The types of crime frequently
committed by women can respectively be cited as follows: burglary, narcotics related crimes, and
murder. Female convicts commit crime mostly due to financial troubles. Another important finding in
relation to committing crime is that women commit murder because of violence-beating-abuse and
honor.

SEARCH FOR SENTIMENTAL HERDING IN THE CEE STOCK MARKETS?

Selma Ayture

Aksaray University, SUTİYO, Sereflikochisar, Ankara, Turkey

Herding distorts the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) Hypothesis and leads to inefficient pricing.
Sentimental herding and adverse herding are hypothesized (Hwang and Salmon 2004) to occur, but
not observable, when there is stress and ambiguity about market conditions and may also be caused by
information asymmetry. Using a state-space model we have extracted herding indicators by using the
Kalman filter for markets in Poland and Romania. The reason for choosing these markets is simply
because Poland had longer experience with market economy relative to Romania when it joined the
EU in 2004, three years earlier than Romania (Romania joined EU in 2007). While I hypothesize that
there is sentimental herding in both stock markets, my search is to see if Polish investors behave
differently than the Romanian investors given their different periods of market exposure. I found
evidence that both markets experienced sentimental herding and some adverse herding, but that the
magnitude of herding was moderate. Herding persistency was lower in Poland relative to Romania,
indicating that Polish investors were quicker in turning back to the risk-return equilibrium path, which
may be explained by the fact that Poland was exposed much earlier to free market conditions and
hence had more experience with the market mechanism.

The aim of this study is to determine the burn out levels of personnel working in nursing homes. This
is a cross-sectional study among screening models. Maslach’s burn out inventory and personal
information questionnaire prepared by researchers are used to collect data. Data in our research are
obtained from staffs (n=109) working in a nursing home. Data are summarized by numbers and
percentages and it is seen normality assumption is hold. Therefore, independent samples t-test and
single factor analysis of variance are applied. Sample space of the research is composed of 160 staffs
working in nursing home. 30 female 79 male staffs agreed to participate in the research group and
therefore research sample is made up of these 109. Results of statistical analysis shows that significant
differences between burn out level and demographic properties such as being satisfied with elderly’s
attitude, desire to work in an another job, working period and income level. Nursing homes is one of
the places where elder people took service gregariously. Findings in this study reveal that burns out
levels of the staffs are high. Effective intervention at burnout should be done both individual and
organisational basis. The most important one is to develop a solution approach towards reasons by
detecting the factors caused burnout. Staff’s contribution to service provided can be derived. It is very
important to remove these problems in increasing the service quality provided to the elder.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF NORMS AND VALUES ON WOMEN MANAGERS’


MANAGEMENT STYLES

Ayca Guzel and Ayse Cigdem Kirel

Anadolu University, Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Eskisehir, Turkey

Norms are a kind of chain of rules that determines which kind of behaviours are desirable and which
are undesirable in a society. Laws might be consider as example of written norms. General customs,
traditions, religious rules, moral principles, forms of politeness are examples of unwritten norms. The
values are shared criterions or ideas that indicate which type of behaviours are good, correct and
desired. Our values not only shape our lives and acts, but also enable us to make judgments about
other people based on their acts. Management styles and organizational culture mutually affect each
other. Studies have shown that organizational culture could not be considered independent from
managers’ or employees’ cultures, norms and values. Therefore the mutual relationship between these
two concepts can be mentioned. In gender related studies, women who are exposed to intense
inequality and considered worthy to subordinate roles like low-level manager, take part more
dominantly and actively in working life day by day. One of the criticized topics about the management
styles of women, who barely reach the manager positions despite sustaining covert discrimination, is
observation of their commitment to values and norms. The aim of this study is to examine how women
managers’ commitment to norms and values affects the management styles and in this regard where
and how they take place in organizational discrimination.

Akoren Vocational School, Selcuk University, Turkey

The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of a firm operating in the chemistry sector that
produces detergent in achieving to reach the predetermined quality standards, the effect of this
effectiveness on the efficiency of the firm and to assess whether the quality management system is
understood correctly throughout the firm. In this study, the quality targets set by the company were
analyzed for efficiency calculations. These quality targets are production quantities, defective products
and packaging damages. Three-year-targets and yearly values for these goals were evaluated. The total
amount of production efficiency ratio was above 0.98, defective products were between 0.66 and 1,
and packaging damages efficiency ratios were between 0.72 and 1.08. For financial efficiency, the
company’s three-year income statement was used. Its financial efficiency ratio was above 1.02. These
values were evaluated using trend analysis, and it was determined that the quality management system
ensured continuous quantitative improvement and development. The most important output indicator
in the quality management system is the measurement of customer satisfaction. It was determined that
none of the predetermined quality targets are appropriate for measuring customer satisfaction. This
shows that the company does not have a long-term perspective. Moreover, it can be said that
management sees the company as a closed system. However, in today’s world, change and product
cycles are very rapid, and customer needs change very quickly. The quality targets of the customers
should be at the core of the inputs and outputs of businesses.

The economic growth and unemployment are the most important issues of the economy which is the
main concern of economists’ cases. According to the theory, when the economic growth increases,
unemployment rates expected that show decreasing. But in contrary, unemployment rate failed to
reach the desired rate in Turkey. Although Turkey has been reached 9.4% growth rate after crisis
2001, unemployment rate has not reduce below 10%. So, the economic growth does not provide to
contribute to employment in Turkey. In this context, the leading cause of unemployment in Turkey is
high rate of population growth. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the
unemployment rate and economic growth and to analyze the effects of the crisis on growth and
unemployment. In this study, relationship between economic growth and the unemployment rate by
considering the after 1980 described with econometric model and solutions can be brought for the
prevention of unemployment.

Regulation involves a continuous action of monitoring, assessment, and refinement of rules rather than
ad hoc operation. Implicit in this definition is also the expectation that ex ante rules will be dominant
form of regulatory control"(Levi-Faur). In order to achieve a good quality regulation, it might be need
a regulatory impact assessment. Specially, poor quality regulation is a particular challenge in
developing countries. As a developing country, Turkey has some regulatory institutions in different
sectors. It might be useful to discuss that it is possible better regulation in the country using a new
regulatory perspective. For this purpose, regulatory impact assessment is going to be evaluated in
developing countries. Then it will be given information about the regulatory institutions in Turkey.
Finally, it will be provided a discussion about a new regulatory perspective for Turkey.

COST OPTIMIZATION OF INFEASIBLE FEED MIXING PROBLEM WITH THE


GOAL PROGRAMMING

Mehmet Akif Sahman, Abdullah Oktay Dundar and Adem Alpaslan Altun

Guneysinir Vocational School, University of Selcuk, Turkey

In feed mixing problems, by-products having different ingredients are mixed to produce one or more
products according to desired quality and cost targets. Feed mixing problems should be formulated to
optimize a given objective function. This is usually cost minimization satisfying defined limits and
conditions. In general, feed expenses correspond to 70%-80% of total expenses in any breeding
business. Hence, one of the most significant problems that managers in this industry should deal with
is the preparation of cost-effective feed mixes. In feed mix, LP may not generate solutions due to strict
constraints in linear model and lack of nutrients of feeds in feed mix. Goal programming was preferred
in feed mix problems which could not be solved by linear programming. Goal programming was used
in three different ways. Firstly, feed mix problems which cannot be solved by linear programming
were modified with positive and negative deviation variables and minimum value of these deviations
was calculated. Based on quality value(s) decision maker can reorganize constraints with deviations or
use a solution if deviations are negligible. Secondly, a model minimizing deviations and cost was
used. As expected, this model results in higher deviation values compared to the model with only
deviations, but this model also decreases cost. Lastly, pre-emptive goal programming was used. By
pre-emptive goal programming, decision maker was allowed to modify current models however he/she
wants. Decision maker can assign higher priorities for more important constraints. The aim of study is
to minimize cost as well as deviations.

Tekirdag, Turkey

Risk management strategies in agriculture are an increasingly important theme. Farmers are faced with
many kind of different risk and uncertain situations which can classified as; production and technology
risks, finance risks, marketing and price risk and human being origin risks. These risks and
uncertainties lead to income volatility for the agricultural firms. Farmers apply various risk
management strategies as; product differentiation, stable production operations, contract production
and insurance. By using one or more of the risk management strategies, farms’ income volatilities and
financial needs can be minimized. In order to avoid the production risk of these firms, agritourism can
play an important role in risk management regarding to provide regular and extra income opportunity.
Agritourism is briefly, defined as the practices to attract visitors the areas that are used for agricultural
purposes. These visits can also contribute to the economic sustainability. This purpose of this paper is
to measure farmers’ perception for agritourism as risk management strategies in Tekirdağ. Moreover
the study makes some suggestions to the firms for popularizing agritourism. The material of this study
consists of agricultural firms in Tekirdag province of Turkey. According to the sampling, it was
interviewed 118 farmers with 90% confidence level. The tendencies of farmers were analysed using a
Likert scale. Farmer’ perceptions on agricultural tourism purposes have been mapped by applying
"Multidimensional Scaling Analysis" (ALSCAL Multidimensional Method). It has utilized Young's
Q-Stress For two-dimensional solution. S-stress values were found 0.07871. In the generated a spatial
map; the purposes of agritourism has shown, in general and special purpose (dimension 2), important
and unimportant purposes (dimension 1). Farmers can expect elimination of important problems of the
country and regional agriculture such as migration of young people, problem of financial, risk
management against increasing natural disasters by agricultural tourism.

Department of Agricultural Economics, Namik Kemal University, Tekirdag, Turkey

Geographically, Turkey is among the most suitable countries for grape production in the world.
Turkey offers a potential of growing around 1250 grape varieties. Traditionally Turkey is specialized
in producing table grapes and raisins. As an export product, grape is consumed as raisin, wine, canned
and grape juice in every month of the year. Turkey ranks sixth country in the world in grape
production with about 4 million tons. (163 million USD) Turkey is in the first place in seedless dried
grape export value while 84% of the seedless dried grape is being exported to European Union. In
agriculture the prices are subject to the periodic fluctuations. Cyclical supply and demand in grape
production should be observed in more than one year. Because of this property in agricultural
products, production quantity-price relationship is analysed using distributed lag model. As a
multiyear agricultural product, grape is expected to have more lag than the other one-year agricultural
products. For this purpose Turkish grape production and price relationship is analysed using Koyck
model.

The increase in greenhouse gases, caused by industrialization and inefficient use of energy resources,
has also negative effects on growth and development. Carbon emission trading is a prominent issue of
the Kyoto Protocol which aims to eliminate these effects. Even though Turkey has not benefited from
the mechanisms in the Kyoto Protocol due to absence of greenhouse gas restrictions; it has an
important place in terms of its projects for Voluntary Carbon Markets. In this study, within the
sustainable financing environment, carbon emission trading and infrastructure development efforts for
carbon markets in Turkey are examined. The current situation is set out in the context of sustainability
index and carbon footprint criteria. The study in which policy recommendations are made for reducing
the carbon footprint discusses the impacts of spreading carbon trade in Turkey on macroeconomic
variables, including foreign exchange earnings in particular.

Institutions which are not banks that make up the shadow banking system are establishing a bridge
between the borrower and the lender. This study examined the functioning of the shadow banking
system. Shadow banking practices mean the fact that transactions are not subject to the regulations of
financial institutions such as banks not exist in Turkey. Shadow banking constitutes a serious risk for
the global economy because it reached “bulky” volume. However, it does not create a problem for
Turkey. During Global Financial Crisis, Turkish banking sector showed continuous strength
legitimating the regulations have been taken since 2001. After Turkey, developed countries such as
USA, China, Japan, the United Kingdom and the Eurozone were comparatively analyzed and the
shadow banking has reached a substantial size in the world compared to the existing banking system.
Also the strong ties between shadow banking and Global Financial Crisis have tried to be explained.

Fish is a healthy food for public nitrification. In Turkey fish consumption is still not at desired level
although its health benefits. While having rich fishery resources in Turkey, fish consumption is lower
than European Union. Average fish consumption of EU and Turkey are 22,86 and 6,3 kg/capita
respectively. Statistics show that there are differences in the amount of fish consumption among the
regions of Turkey. In this study, fish production, consumption, imports and exports are compared
between Turkey and the European Union. In Turkey 44,16% of total 528.561,8 tons of fish production
is aquaculture and 55,84% of fishery in 2013. In the European Union, 6,05% of the total 5.470.368
tons of fish production, including aquaculture and fishery 93,95% respectively. In 2011, Turkey's
export and import are 62.855 tons and 59.959 tons respectively, while the European Union's export
and import is 5.146.306 tons and 7.080.900 tons respectively. The aims of this study are to compare
Turkey and EU countries about fishery sector, to estimate Turkey’s future fish production with

Alienation is an old concept as humanity which can be defined as case that is alienation from yourself,
society, its values, the environment in which he live of individual. First we encounter this concept as
an ontological problem that has expressed unhappiness of individual by gaining an economic identity
with Karl Marx and with the development of industry. Technological developments, new
breakthroughs in the industry, community-type society transitions have accompanied a set of problems
and they had people made unhappy. We face alienation concept more philosophically at Hegel. Hegel
who took concept of alienation from a theological plane, then submit to the orders of philosophy.
Alienation is more the separation of the soul from the body for him and is in the form of a substance
present in the world. Tevfik Fikret who is the most important poet of the wealth of sciences (Servet-i
Fünun ) he had been in an uncomfortable environment created by the imagination and reality clash and
he had reflected this in works. This situation, which led to unhappiness and often reflected in the
works, and these works have gained as a result of a philosophical dimension queries. in our study,we
will try to examine Gayya-yı Vücud which is an important poem of Tevfik Fikret under the alienation

CINEMA FILMS BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS

Nilufer Pembecioglu and Adnan Kilinc

Istanbul University Faculty of Communication, Beyazıt, Istanbul, Turkey

The term transmedia is very popular in nowadays, however, the links between the different types of
media was established throughout the history, almost from the very first days. The social events of the
society, was reflected in the pictures of the past. The walls of the caves carved with the first hunting
scenes were the first examples of transmedia. The events in the real society were transferred to the
media in such a way that, even if the society is changed and vanished somehow the media is still there
to refer to the events. Later on, the history witnessed the social events taking place in the real society
transferred to the different types of media such as cinema or television films, weekly serials, radio
programs, cartoons, etc. This study aims to find the correlation between the most read newspaper
events reflecting social life and relations on a national or international basis. The correlation between
the national and international events and feature films were discussed throughout the study. The main
aim is to find out how the cinema films said to be based on actual events are related to these events.
And what are the main reasons for their popularity. In other words what are the main reasons to make
the people follow this somehow ‘known’ message in the cinema saloon once again? Cinema has
always been popular in the sense of becoming a mass media tool for the society. At the beginning it
was a way of escaping the real world, finding out more about the unknown things. In this context, the
cinema was opening the doors of the unknown worlds and exotic life far away and difficult to reach on
your own. The directors are expected to deliver these unknown and difficult to reach scenes to the
audience to make them happy and knowledgeable. However, in this case, the known events, taking
place in real life, the contact with the events through the other media disproves the theory of escape for
the cinema films. Regarding that these true story films are usually the successful ones, having big
budgets, great cast and higher box office rates, the study concentrates on how these ‘known’ dynamics
help the films to gain such a success. The study has three main parts; one is the literature review
concentrating mainly on the films and events to find out if there is any correlation between these
events and the cinema films. The second part concentrates mainly on the audience reflections and
preferences aiming to find out the level of consumption and dynamics of cinema going. To find more
about the dynamics of the films based on the true events, the audience will also be questioned if they
would like to have a film based on a true event, what would the theme be. These would provide
enough to see the future trends of the audience as well as to understand the supply and demand
balance of the sector. The data will be collected in France and Lithuania in which cinema going
activities are high and the creative industries are given special importance. The last part of the study
aims to provide a documentary as a final product including interviews with the national and
international audience as well as the film directors and cinema critics.

EXAMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LINGUISTIC AND


MATHEMATICAL SKILLS’ OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Department of Educational Sciences, Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, Istanbul, Turkey

Children encounter mathematical concepts very early starting from the first months of their lives. In
preschool years children with their natural curiosity and eagerness to learn are open to rapid
mathematical development (Taşkın, 2013). A considerable amount of studies focus on the relationship
between mathematical and linguistic development (Abedi, Lord, & Hofstetter, 1998; Abedi, Lord, &
Plummer, 1995; Cocking & Chipman, 1988; Garcia, 1991; Lepik, 1990; Noonan, 1990), and reveal a
strong connection between these domains. Evidence for this connection was found in children’s lower
performance in word problems compared to problems in numeric format (Carpenter, Kepner, Linquist,
& Reys, 1980). Students also show lower performance when presented a mathematical problem other
than their first language (Mestre, 1988). Beside the fact that language skills affect mathematical
development, language is used as a facilitator for mathematical understanding (Simpson & Cole,
2014). In this vein, the aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between language and

INSTITUTION EMPLOYEES ON WOMEN MANAGERS

Department of Local Government, University of Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli, Nevşehir,Turkey

While women have been constituting almost half of the total workforce all over the world and taking a
part in private and public sector for many years, they have not been adequately represented
management positions, and it has been seen that the factors affecting women in terms of participating
in labor force also have effected progress cases in their careers. Even educated and successful women
can suffer from patriarchal understanding that gives women heavy responsibilities and the sexual
division of labor, and women have been faced with a glass ceiling formed by barriers that can not bee
seen and passed in the labor market. Turkey, by year 2014, was ranked as the second in the world with
11.1% rate of chairwoman, and located on the 8th rank among the 40 countries with 31% rate of of
female managers. On the other hand, in the public sphere, the proportion of senior women managers
remained at 9.4% in the country. It has been seen that previous studies have not drawn attention to this
significant difference between the private sector and the public sector rates, and there is no any
research which is based on analysing findings that may be partly have cause for this difference in
Turkey’s conditions. With the purpose of filling this gap in the literature, in the first part of this study,
obstacles in front of being female manager in Turkey and factors which can cause to be successful or
failure of women in the management field have been evaluated within the context of requirements of
management activity and Turkey's social, economic and cultural conditions; in the second part of the
study, it has been tried to reach data that might be useful in terms of evaluating reasons of low rate of
female managers in the public sphere. In this regard, a questionnaire study was conducted on
employees working in different public institutions in Nevsehir province. Based on research findings, it
also has been targeted revealing to what extend opinions of public employees on women managers can
vary according to gender (sex). It is expected that research findings will be useful for many researchers
conducting research in this field.

IS THE INPATRIATION AN ALTERNATIVE TO EXPATRIATION:


THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EMPLOYING
EXPATRIATES AND INPATRIATES AND ORGANIZATIONAL REACTIONS OF
TURKISH COMPANIES

Mehtap Araci

Gülşehir Vocational School, Nevşehir Hacı Bektaş Veli University, Nevşehir, Turkey

In the global business arena the competition gets aggravates and multinational companies (MNCs)
seek out for new staffing options to stay competitive. In these options, expatriation and inpatriation
plays an increasingly important role. Inpatriates are host-country personnel in MNCs foreign
subsidiaries whose knowledge of the local market, business practices, and cultural preferences make
them a significant source of international management talent for MNCs. Expatriates managers, on the
other hand, are home-country personnel who hold key positions in MNCs foreign subsidiaries, mainly
to establish control in the foreign market. Both of them are MNCs strategic sources of human capital,
through which knowledge is developed, carried, and exchanged within the MNCs network. These
different assignee types have various differences as well as having a lot of similarities. The issue that
which assignment type is the right choice to obtain competitive advantage and success in the global
rivalry for the MNCs displays variability by countries as well as by organizations. Because of this, the
organizational reactions become different to employ one of them. It has been seen that there has been
rather insufficient comparative research on employing expatriates and inpatriates in literature and there
has not been any management study on the reasons of choosing one of these different assignment
types of Turkish companies. As a result of this gap, the aim of this study is to assess the similarities
and differences between employing expatriates and inpatriates as comparative and the organizational
reactions of Turkish companies. It is hoped that this study can be useful for both the success of
business employing expatriates and inpatriates and for numerous scholars to study in this field.

Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Namık Kemal University, Tekirdag, Turkey

Functional foods have become the corner stone of food innovation in the past few years. Functional
foods have existed on the Turkish food market since 1990 and the number of functional food products
is increasing. However, the interests in and attitudes to functional food among consumers is crucial if
these foods are to be consumed and thereby exert their potential health benefits. Functional foods
presumably enable the consumer to lead a healthier life without changing eating habits. In this paper, it
is aimed to analyze the approaches of different consumers, living in the city of Istanbul, towards a
variety of functional foods, the socio – economic status of the families and their approaches to
functional foods. Applying a face to face survey to 611 people living in Istanbul, their attitudes to
functional foods were examined. A Likert type scale was used to evaluate each of the questions. The
collected data was analysed by principal component analysis (PCA), descriptive statistical analysis
which consumers' attitudes on functional foods. According to the results of the research, 73, 2 % of the
consumers noted that they have had functional foods at least once before. As a result of the research,
37, 2 % the consumers stated that they have sometimes had the mineral water, one of the functional
foods used in the study, and considering the judgments, it was observed that the mineral water had the
highest consuming frequency. Consumers with a general health interest have a positive attitude to
functional food and perceive the foods as necessary, rewarding to consume and health promoting.
Different characteristics of the Turkish consumers were associated with consumption of different
functional food products. A significantly larger proportion of the females had consumed probiotic milk
products and fibre-rich bread than males. Although the enhanced health benefits attracted consumers’
attention, concerns on the artificial ingredients and effectiveness of the health benefits have formed
negative attitudes towards functional products. Thus, understanding factors that influence consumers’
perceptions and acceptances of functional food is essential for food industry in their new product
development strategies making.

NEGLECTED ROLE OF MAHMUD II AND HIS DIPLOMATS IN THE


LITERATURE TO SOLVE THE MEHMET ALI PROBLEM BY USING
DIPLOMACY

Serkan Demirbas

Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Department of History, Eskişehir,
Turkey

Military history of Mehmet Ali Problem (1832-1839) is well documented historical facts in both
Turkish and English literature. However, the unknown side of the story is what role Mahmud and his
finest diplomats played in the process of resolving the Mehmed Ali problem using diplomacy. This
role has been overlooked by the vast majority of scholars. This neglect ensues from a lack of
knowledge of the Ottoman diplomatic effort in this process. The most obvious way to overcome this
problem is to depart from the orientalist perspective, and use the Ottoman documents, which bear
witness to Mahmud’s instructions to his diplomats and their reports from various European capitals of
their progress and observations. When examining this intensive diplomatic period from the point of
view of the Ottomans, it becomes clear that in fact Mahmud was not a Sultan who merely sat back
smoking his water pipe and watched incidents unfold in his Empire’s lands; On the contrary, he had
his own diplomatic plan, courage, motivation, resourcefulness and some capable diplomats who did
their utmost to faithfully implement their sovereign’s diplomatic orders. Therefore, the highest priority
of this paper is to reveal some aspects this stupendous and dramatic diplomatic struggle made by the
Ottomans in this period. Bearing in mind the above stated points, this paper attempts to contribute the
academic literature on the Orientalism- which has been largely done in the field of cultural history- by
looking at a specific example in the field of diplomatic history.

TRADITIONAL FELT MASTER MUSTAFA YÜNEL IN ÖDEMİŞ, BADEMLİ

H. Nurgul Begic

Bahçelievler mh 73 sk 13/5 Çankaya, Ankara, Turkey

Traditional handicrafts are the activities which are arisen from human needs and continued based on
these needs. In this context, Felt Art is also one of the archaic arts which were arisen from needs and
continued its existence thanks to its functionality. When its usage areas throughout history are
observed, it has supplied vital needs in various areas; from tents to rugs, from swaddling clothes to
boots, from hats to garments. It is the most primitive textile material without warp and weft and it is
formed by pressuring the wool in a warm and humid environment with the help of the water and soap.
In the Turkish history which is ranging from Central Asia to Anatolia, traditional Felt Art has been
kept alive with them. Geographical conditions in Central Asia forced Turks to live a nomadic life.
Husbandry was the most important factor for them to live on. With a life style like this, they supplied
their vital needs like housing, nourishment and clothing by animals. Their tents, rugs and nappes, their
hats which protect them from rain and many clothes they wear were manufactured from felt. Felt
maintained its function in various areas of life. Besides, they garnished the felt products and gave them
an aesthetical and artistic value. They brought this culture with their migration to Anatolia from the
Central Asia and they also used it in their new lands and life styles. Especially in Ahi Community
whose effects had continued for seven ages during Anatolian Seljuk Empire, Anatolian Beyliks and
Ottoman Empire periods, rules of this art formed and it took its place as a traditional handicraft.
Master-apprentice relationships in workshops also played an important part to pass down this art.
However with the mass production which is a result of Industrial Revolution, with the rapid
transportation, development of technology, expansion of alternative textiles to the world market,
globalisation of the economy and the changing life style, day by day felt products gave its way to the
alternative products. As a result of these developments, masters quited their jobs and the workshops
were closed one by one. Those which are not closed keeps working under difficult conditions. In this
context, in Bademli Town which is a part of Ödemiş district of province of İzmir, the only felt
workshop belongs to 1922 born Mustafa Yünel who tries to maintain this art. The master who had
learned Felt art by traditional methods; from father to son and he still continues to produce
Felt art by adapting it to the modern-day and contributes cultural wealth to be introduced.

Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Education, Canakkale, Turkey

In Turkey, in accordance with the reconstructing process in the education faculties, it is included
“School Experience I. II.” and “On-Site School Training” classes in the teacher training programs of
the education faculties since 1998-1999 academic year. In forward years, School experience classes
were removed from some of the programs. It may be said that these classes have important
contributions in terms of getting prepared to teaching by developing Faculty-School cooperation and
gaining more experience in practice because, the teacher candidates observe and practice the
knowledge that they acquired in the faculty in a real education environment. In this process, teacher
candidates may find the opportunity to acquire significant outcomes from the instructors and school
teachers who are responsible for the practice classes, school management and school environment. It
has been considered that those who have positive impressions toward the practice school will be more
avid to develop their teaching skills. Along the same line, it is expected that the school managers and
teachers will be more supportive to the teacher candidates in a school which has a positive climate.
The aim of the study is to determine whether there is a significant correlation between the faculty of
education students’ impressions toward the climate of practice schools and their utilization levels from
On-Site School training or not. The research has been conducted to relational screening model and a
survey oriented to the students attending to the On-Site School Training classes was developed. The
survey paper was finalized after referring expert opinions. In the analysis process of the collected data
frequency, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, f-test and t-test were used. The findings show that
according to the students attending to the On-Site School Training classes the school climate is low in
terms of relationships, education quality, parent support etc. the Students’ utilization level from On-
Site School Training is mid-low. It has been determined a significant difference in accordance with
gender variance. There is a significant correlation between the faculty of education students’

Central banks are the most efficient institutions for maintaining and sustaining of their countries’
economic stability. Through their policy instruments, central banks have many functions such as price
stability, maintaining the value of national currency, injecting money into economy, maintaining of
stability and development of financial markets etc. Shortly, monetary policy has a key role for
economic process. For performing this function successfully, the idea that central banks should avoid
from political effect and orientation, has lead to an important debate on independency of central banks.
It is important that central banks have legal independence besides their actual sense of the
independence. Central Banks’ independence has been provided with law No. 4651 in Turkey.
However it is still a matter of discussion at what level is the independence provided in terms of law.
This study examines the importance of central banks and the independence and autonomy of the
Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) as to what cases compared to other major central
banks. In this study author identifies that the legal independence of CBRT has significant gains in the
context of the struggle against inflation and economic stability. On the other hand, it was observed that
despite of its legal independence, CBRT has not yet reached a de facto independence at the level of the
central banks of developed countries. In this study, the analysis has been done by utilizing several
researches about the central banking and the statics of CBRT and Turkish Statistical Institute.

and/or animal fairs in specific settlements at specific date intervals once or twice a year. According to
the research we have conducted, examples of traditional fairs still exist in a total of 63 settlements in
54 districts located within the boundaries of 21 provinces in Turkey. The area with which a fair
interacts is not solely limited to the settlement in which the fair is set up. Numerous tradesmen who
deal with mobile trade also participate in the county fairs, along with the visitors on regional and
national scales. Fairs have a significant place in the regional, and even national, commercial system
due to the presence of a large number of mobile fair tradesmen of various geographical origins. The
products and services subject to trade at fairs are sometimes directly offered for sale by producers,
whereas they are sometimes supplied from various wholesale centers. In this process, the availability
of wholesale centers with different distributional characteristics in Turkey according to the product
branches is striking. The study presented here constitutes the section on “determination of the
geographical relationships of the economic and commercial activities taking place at fairs” in our
research, which addresses the traditional fairs in Turkey on the national scale. Some 13 traditional fairs
distributed in 4 distinct geographical regions of Turkey were specified as samples within the scope of
the research. It was aimed to apply 50 questionnaires to the product and service sellers at each sample
fair and the questionnaires were applied to a total of 611 fair tradesmen. The data obtained from the
questionnaires show that some wholesale centers from which the flow of products and goods to the
fairs is provided according to the product branches stand out. In addition, producers and their
distributional characteristics according to the product branches also reveal the spatial relationships of
the trade of products and goods at the fairs.

RECONSIDERED DURING THE SYRIAN CONFLICT

Devrim Umit

Department of International Relations, Karabuk University, Karabuk,Turkey

This paper will analyze the “model partnership” between Turkey and the United States through both
countries’ internal dynamics and relations with the countries in the Middle East, particularly those
neighbors to Turkey, as the two countries have been fighting against violence and extremism while
seeking peace and stability in the region. Syrian conflict stands as a turning point in the bilateral
relations when Turkey has recently stepped in the air coalition to combat the ISIL, the Islamic State in
Iraq and the Levant, though at a belated stage, which might harbor opportunities as well as challenges
for both Turkey and the United States in terms of fighting against extremism and the possible turning
of the ISIL free zone into a no-fly zone all which might better the bilateral relations and launch new
venues for a more cooperative period. Therefore, this paper will look into the possibility of the “model
partnership” during the Syrian conflict.
