Today, in parallel with globalization and changing conditions, states strive to increase their
tax revenues by means of placing excessive taxes on demerit goods and services which cause
negative externalities. When state needs revenue and wants to change people consumption
trends, it levies a tax on demerit goods and services that is called “sin taxes”, makes bad
habit as drinks, cigarettes, coffee, gambling and contains more calories or overweight. State
has begun to more interference on the economy with sin tax during the recent years. So, sin
taxes born to be got the requirement on economic and social causes. Sin taxes are taken
both increase of revenues and barriers environmental pollution, use of illegal and harmful
items. State which levies an additional taxes on harmful products and tries to reduce the use
of these goods and services, aims to increase budget revenues. In addition, many local
governments to shift the jurisdiction of the central state of sin tax debate comes up. In our
study, sin tax is presented its basic features, its purpose, its scope, its share in tax revenues
in Turkey and many countries, beneficial and harmful effects arising from its application, it
is focused on the period of change in taxation and its role in preventing a harmful habits.

Applicable Law to Cultural Property
MESUT AYGÜN
Assistant Professor
Anadolu Üniversitesi Hukuk Fakültesi Yunusemre Kampüsü 26470 Tepebaşı/Eskişehir –
TÜRKİYE
The requirement of the specific form of regulation for cultural property is true not only for
civil law but also for the conflict of laws. In a case initiated by the orginal owner against the
good faith purchaser to recover the stolen, lost or entrusted cultural property, the
significant question is whether the orginal owner or the good faith purchaser will be
preferred.
As long as different preferences are accepted in different systems, the real conflict of laws
will continue. Thus the choice of the connecting factor may change the result from one case
to another. A general rule to apply to property, which is almost universally accepted, is lex
rei stae, i.e. the law of the place where the goods are located. This principle, which does not
care about the conclusion, is in favor of the origainal owner in one case, and the good faith
purchaser in the other. The main purpose of the rule is to ensure the security and stability in
commerce.

Republic period from memorisation perspective
Sukru Ilgun, M. Fatih OZMANTAR
Department of Elemantary Mathematics Education, University of Kafkas, Kars, Turkey
The lesson of mathematics has been a lesson that there has been made renewals and
updatings often on teaching programmes and there has been in the centre of important
reform movements nearly in all countries of the world. During the history of Republic, there
has been 10 programme changes in our country. The so called programmes are as follows:
1924, 1926, 1936, 1948, 1968, 1983, 1990, 1998, 2005 and 2015. Especially when examined
the documents regarding 2005 and 2015 programmes, it has been seen thatit has been
avoided the usage of the terms of “repetition”, “exercise” and “consolidation” often
assimilated with behaviorism theory. Also there are some rumours about that the
programmes put into effect before 2005 have a memorisation approach. In the scope of this
study, it has been aimed that the points of view of the programmes put into effect during the
history of Republic regarding the memorisation of knowledge and the perspectives the
programmes have are put into effect. In the direction of this aim, the texts published by
National Educational Ministry of programmes mentioned above were exposed to content
analysis. In view of these analysis it was aimed to reveal how the programmes during the
history of Republic look the idea of the memorisation of mathematical knowledge and how
their positions are thereon. The results of the examinations showed that the programmes
mentioned give a great importance to explanation of mathematics by students, they are in
an open position regarding that the memorisation of mathematical knowledge is wrong.

BELIEF OF UN/AUSPICIOUS ANIMALS IN ANATOLIAN ALAWISM
Mehmet YAZICI
Assistant Professor
Department of Socil Work, University of Bingöl, Bingöl Turkey
One of the best way for understanding human’s and societies’ journey on the world is
looking at human-nature relationship. Therefore throughout the history philosophers and
scientists though to different extents has strived to understand the results and meaning of
this relationship. The relationship of human with nature is not limited only to meet his or
her practical needs. Also, human has tried to understand the nature in mental context.
Having such two kinds of relationship existed both in pre modern human and modern
human period. People who live in the same natural and societal area, their systems of
understanding nature turns into a common societal understanding by time. The result of
this common understanding is to accept some creatures in the nature as totem or taboo and
perceiving some of these creatures as good-bad, auspicious-unauspicious, holy-unholy.
Because of this sense, societies accept some creatures in the nature as fundamental
elements of their belief. This understanding also can be found in Anatolian Alawism. This
study focuses on accepting some animals as auspicious and some others as unauspicious in
Alawism. In master thesis that we prepared in Mimar Sinan University we found that
Alawites accepts some animals as auspicious and some other animals as unauspicious. This
study is based on integrating new datas to the datas included in mentioned thesis. In the
study, examples about animals that are accepted as un/auspicious by Alewites are given and
sources of these beliefs are handled. The aim of the study is both to understand Alewism and
their perception of nature focusing on especially example of rabbit which is accepted as
unauspicious.

Gonul (Kurt) Erhan, Emine Cabi
Department of Elementary Education, Baskent University, Ankara, Turkiye
This research was conducted to investigate whether the metacognitive awareness and
attitudes toward profession of teaching of the preservice teachers differ according to
independent variables including the reason for choosing the teaching profession, academic
average, the type of department they study, and the grade they attend. It is also aimed to
determine whether there is a meaningful relationship between metacognitive awareness and
attitudes toward the profession of teaching of the preservice teachers. The study group
comprised 187 preservice teachers attending to Elementary Mathematics Education, Primary
Education, Turkish Language Education, English Language Education, Early Childhood
Education, and Guidance and Psychological Counseling Program at Baskent University
Faculty of Education during the fall semester of 2015-2016. The participants were

A Comparative Analysis of Women’s Rights in Turkey, Tunisia and Iran
Senem Ertan, Fatma Yol
Ankara Sosyal Bilimler Üniversitesi, Hükümet Meydanı No:2 Ulus Ankara Turkey
This study examines the effect of state Islamization on women’s empowerment in three
Muslim countries; Turkey, Tunisia and Iran. The primary research question posed by this
study is does the involvement of religion in the ruling of a country influence the
government’s respect for women’s rights. After a historical analysis of religious role in
modernization processes, an analysis of contemporary social, political and economic status
of women is conducted to answer this question. The legal reforms are used as an indicator of
women’s rights in Muslim countries since the law system is the highest regulatory
framework of the states. Nevertheless, this study also examines the practical expressions of
the legal frameworks and analyzes the existing women’s rights practices such as women’s
economic participation, educational attainment, health and political empowerment by using
Global Gender Gap Index as the main source of data. Analysis of the legal reforms
demonstrates that governments have achieved better progress in developing and enforcing
policies about women’s empowerment in countries where there are anti-fundamentalist and
western style modernization processes. On the other hand, government’s particular aims of
interest and priorities of decision makers constitute the reasons of the selective gender
egalitarian reforms. The present study further supports the argument that Islam on its own
cannot be condemned as the reason for unequal treatment of women in Muslim countries.
However, this paper also confirms that patriarchal and traditional interpretation of Islam
and the implementation of religious rules lead to violation of women’s rights in Muslim
countries. Therefore, we argue that the establishment of secular and gender egalitarian law
system accompanied by the implementation of successful policies to empower women are
the preconditions for liberalization of Muslim women.

Political Communication and Elections: The Analysis of 7 June and 1
November General Elections in Turkey in terms of Political Communication
Emre Osman OLKUN, Şükrü BALCI
Instructor, Associate Professor Faculty of Communication, University of Selcuk, Konya,
Turkey
Democracy, power, government, service, success/failure, trust/distrust, scandal, polemic and
so many similar topics have become mostly discussed headlines of our political world.
However, nowadays the main question or problem of politics is definitely communication.
Miscommunication should be looked for so many problems related to politics. Because,
elections, successful election process and its sustainability which is conducted among
candidates in order to power is directly based on quality and effectiveness of political
communication processes between voters and candidates. In every election period, it is
always mentioned about competition between candidates of parties, reactions and behaviors
of voters and what kind of messages shared. Even some part of these questions can be asked
until next election period. Now that democracy is a dialogue established between political
candidates, the most apparent and colorful part of this dialogue is formed by political
communication and campaign activities. In this study, political parties AK Party, CHP, MHP
and HDP which passed 10 % electoral threshold and entered parliament in 7 June and 1
November General Elections will be taken in hand in terms of political communication.
Especially, this study will focus on some topics such as communication methods, message
strategies of parties for affecting voters, their usage of mass communication vehicles, what
kind of topics they gave priority in their elections campaigns and their vision about Turkey.
According to results of the study; political parties and leaders need to renew themselves and
support this process with political communication activities in order to legitimization of
their positions, sustainability and effectiveness.

The relationship between entrepreneurial tendencies and culture: evidence
from Turkey
Kurtulus Yilmaz Genc
Assistant Professor
Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences, Giresun University, Giresun, Turkey
The basic aim of this study is to search and reveal the relationship between entrepreneurial
tendencies and culture relationship, depending on a research that was conducted on
university students and the trainees of an entrepreneurship training programme. This study
investigates the basic entrepreneurial tendencies like risk taking, creativity, opportunity
seeking, self confidence, motivation, locus of control, tolerance to uncertainty,
responsibility, leadership, competitiveness, communication, honesty, dynamism, and their
relationship with cultural characteristics. Accordingly, the case study was conducted in
Turkey. So, Turkish cultural characteristics and its relationship with the expected
entrepreneurial characteristics (or tendencies) were discussed. The Turkish cultural
characteristics were firstly identified from the literature. Especially, Hofstede’s study on the
classification of (1980) cultures will be referenced. Again, personal observations and
experiences will be the other sources for this identification. Moderate level of individualism,
masculinity or femininity are the basic related characteristics of Turkey. On the other hand,
the power distance, and uncertainty avoidance are high in Turkish culture. The findings of
the research will be compared with the results of Hoftede’s study. The main hypothesis for
the research is: H1: Entrepreneurial characteristics are statistically significantly associated
with the cultural characteristics of Turkey.
Many different statistical methods will be used to analyze the data set. The results will be
discussed and concluded through comparing the results from previous studies. So,
suggestions and managerial achievements will be given.

This study discusses the logic of good qualitative and quantitative research, focusing on the
discussions of how we should reach to the facts via social science research. This study
basically draws a broad angle of the social science inquiry examining theoretical basis of
social science methodology set by pioneering scholars such as Popper, Kuhn, Farayabend,
Lakatos, Ackerman, and Harding. Building on King, Keohane, and Verba’s (1994) research,
the study provides critical evaluation of social science inquiry indicating that the logic of
good qualitative and quantitative research do not differ methodologically and substantively.
The differences are only stylistic. All good research derives from the same underlying logic
of inference. There are two styles of research but one logic of inference. The differences
between two researches are only stylistic and the distinctions are not important
methodologically and substantively.

Road safety behaviour of primary school learners: A longitudinal assessment
of selected South African cases
Gerda van Dijk

School of Social and Government Studies, North-West University, Private Bag X6001,
Potchefstroom, South Africa, 2530
The WHO (2013) reports that 1.24 million people die annually as a result of road traffic
crashes with young people considered to be especially vulnerable. Furthermore, 92% of
these crashes occur in low and middle-income countries such as South Africa (RTMC, 2015).
The three year longitudinal study, using a mixed methods approach and administered in five
selected sites throughout South Africa reports on findings pertaining to the road safety
behaviour of primary school learners. A computer-based road safety environment was
created and learners had to navigate their road safety choices when asked to walk from their
house to their school. Using the Theory of Planned Behaviour the research confirms that
theoretical knowledge rarely translates into actual practice and that the road safety
behaviour
choices
of
learners
are
the
product
of
their
acquired
knowledge.
Recommendations pertaining to road safety education in particular focused on both
contextual as well as cognitive development of learners. Road safety education will only lead
to a change in behaviour if teachers make strong connections to learners’ interests and
circumstances. The study acknowledges that safe road behaviour is difficult to achieve, but
school leaders, community leaders, municipal authorities and traffic officials should partner
with the schools - which could enhance the learning experience for learners if they perceive
important role models actively demonstrating the significance of behaving appropriately on
the road. By focusing on road safety holistically and in an integrated manner, including all
stakeholders the probability of effecting long-term behavioural change is more realistic.

Today, it has been frequently expressed the effect of the digitalized society and technology
on our daily lives in an irremediable manner and the discussions over the transition into
simple live have been drawing attention. These discussions, of which differences of real
social lives have been specified by means of concepts such as cyber culture and cyber
identities, contain criticisms towards the young people that are addicted to the fast living
and consumption. The revolutionary place and importance of internet in the lives of the
people, sociological, cultural, economical and psychological effects of the social media
networks via internet become the subject matter of many studies in national and
international areas. It has been observed that the positive or negative effect of social media
on socializing and those they pave the way for spending most of the daily life of the
individual, have been examined in these types of studies. How cyber identities isolate the
individual within the delusion of socializing has been taken part in the psychological based
studies in detailed.In this study, while daily lives under the effect of the technology, internet
and in particular to social media networks have been addressed with a critical perception,
voluntary simplicity concept and simple life approach will be used as a source in this critical
approach.

sector which composes 40% of national economy. Whereas the national economy shapes the
Central Government Budget, the budget also has a significant affect in the development of
the national economy. As the crisis of 2008 has effected first and foremost the United States,
and then the whole world, this financial crisis had a negative impact on the Central
Government Budget in Turkey as well. In particular, the decline in tax revenues increased
the budget deficits. However, before, Central Government budget deficits had been
decreasing rapidly in Turkey owing to the economic stability policies implanted within 2001
and 2008. Since 2010, Central Government budget balance has begun to progress in
accordance with the goals determined before 2008. In this study, the effects of financial
crisis of 2008 on the Central Government Budget will be analyzed and reviewed in the light
of current developments.

To have a social government characteristic is one of the primarily aims for democratic states
which are sensible to public values and bring synergy with the society. It can be said that
women take significant place in economy in the countries that have made important
progress on this aim. Governments have various tools to achieve this target. Thus the budget
is the main fiscal policy tool for any government that aims to achieve the target on a level of
human development. The public budget has to have some characteristics to achieve this
target. Having a social budgeting and gender budgeting approach to support it are a few of
those characteristics. Gender budgeting is a kind of social budgeting approach. Social
budgeting approach will be described as the decision of public policies to the public
priorities and the inclusion of these priorities to the budgeting process which is the main
fiscal tool. As first implemented in Australia the gender budgeting is an application to raise
the status of women in the society. In this sense the public budgets have serious functions to
end the discrimination between women and men. When the situation that women have only
the 1 percent of whole assets of the world and latter than men at the education level is taken
into account, it comes insight of why governments have to take steps for gender budgeting.
In this study by the discussion of women employment there have given some advices to
apply gender budgeting in Turkey.

After the 1980s, globalization that has affected many countries and Turkey, led to the
adoption of open economy policies and has brought external debt along with it. External
debt, which has initially seen as an additional source of financing by underdeveloped and
developing countries, might be as an instrument to execute the investments, economic
growth and development when it is used in an effective and productive manner. On the
contrary, when external debts are not used efficiently and revenues are not adequate for the
repayment of capital and interests of external debts, it is clearly seen that there occurs
negative effect of the external debt in the growth targets of those countries.Gross external
debt stock composed of central bank, private sector and public sector’s debts has been
increasing since the open economy policies has firstly been implemented. Today, external
debt of private sector has exceeded the total external debt of public sector and central bank
due to the policies aiming to decrease the budget deficit and to repay noninterest surplus
etc. In Turkey, it is seen that as external debt in public sector has been transferred to private
sector in which borrowing is made in the currency of US dollars, the exchange currency rate
has been influenced from that. This study will focus on the development of external debt of
private and public sector in Turkey, the bilateral interaction of each other as well as the
consequences of it in an comparative manner.

one of these fields. Especially in countries ruled by democracy, both political parties and the
people in management level get use of internet technologies in order to reinforce political
participation and direct people in favour of their benefits.When the literature about political
activism is searched for, lots of concepts from civil participation to political participation are
encountered. Together with the explanations to these concepts, political activism ,in many
sources, is defined as the activities conducted to affect the results of the elections or the
structure of the management. In this context, how and in what form people involve in these
activities gained different dimensions together with the developments in internet
technologies. As the internet has become an indispensable part of life and the social media
has become widespread, people have started to interact with the other people whether with
the same political view or not. These means are used heavily to promulgate politcal views
and find supporters in every process of political campaigns or electoral campaigns.For this
reason,the contribution of communication means provided by internet is great in increasing
the political participation and conduction of succesful campaigns. In this study, a general
evaluation on the effects of internet usage on reinfocing and mobilizing the political
activism and whether the the usage of internet contributes to politicai participation will be

It is not so logical to compare the European Union (EU) with any international organization,
especially without being comprehended truly within the historical and structural
development of the union. On the basis of assumptions and arrangements of politics, the EU
could be defined as a kind of supranational value sharing system which requires the sharing
of national sovereignty in related fields to the high authority within the system.In historical
retrospect, we observe that thoughtful propositions have been made public in order to
integrate the Europe in a safe manner. When we look deeply into the idea of unifying the
Europe, we find many thinker explained their own views favoring the integration of the
Europe to reach a union for sake of establishing peace and security on the basis of political
liberalism among the member states.The expectation of the contemporary context of the
developmental activities of the EU is that the act of acquiring a common identity will help
support the system in solving common problems through the institutions of the EU. The EU
has been founded after a long painstakingly research through a process of change realized in
a historical and political domain as well. EU provides not only economic benefits but also
allocate social, political and cultural values which will be a part of daily life to protect the
savings of the society. Regarding the Turkey's application to the EU for full membership, so
there are different views in Turkey and Europe. These will be analyzed also.

Tax amnesty is a very commonly used tax tools especially in developing countries. In Turkey
which is developing country is seen that referenced a lot to tax amnesties. Tax amnesties
although spoil a good source of income in the short term as the voluntary compliance of
taxpayers and taxpayers in the long run may be considered a practice that leads to
forgiveness expectations at certain intervals. The literature research in Turkey to date from
the first years of the Republic was founded exactly 33 times, though with different names,
large and small, tax amnesty applications have been identified. It shows that out of
approximately every 3 years a tax amnesty in Turkey. Amnesty expectations that the tax
liability of the taxpayer (real or punishment) with taxpayers paying the preferred way to pay
taxes on time, and at this point it decomposes. This question reveals some drawbacks. The

Companies may encounter lots of crises and situations,the sources of which might be
internal or external during their operational process.A crisis is somewhat a part of natural
process.It is important to know what kind of a crisis a company faces,the time of the
crisis,and to what degree the companies are prepared against the crisis.So many
communication methods are used to combat with crisis.Besides,the social media,which have
improved due to technological advances recently, have created an effective communication
means because of not being only a receiver but also a transmitter where every kind of idea
and feeling can be expressed freely owing to easy usage and access. Such a situation gives
firms the possibility to access their clients quickly and free of charge as well as making it
possible for the clients and other groups to transmit their messages to relevant or irrelevant
persons easily because of being open to other users in social media. In this concept,using the
social media freely may embody negative effects in that it can cause a crisis and discredit the
company. Social media is one of the prominent aspects in crisis management on social
media from the points of its dimensions ,and how,in what directions and by what kind of
means the companies,especially those with international reputation, manage the process.In

Going out of the borders: Reading habits, interests and tendencies of students
living in villages

Department of Turkish Language Education, Dumlupınar University, Kutahya, Turkey
Human beings learn new things as they read different kinds of texts; this eventually leads
them to purse new information, and consequently, they are easily able to keep up with the
fast-changing world. Underlying the objectives of the Turkish National Education System
which are to educate individuals who understand, research, analyze, criticize, question,
interpret, and have a full grasp of his/her rights and responsibilities, and have scientific
thought include reading and reading comprehension.
However, when we examine studies such as PISA that aims both to reveal the reading culture
in Turkey and to internationally establish the status of reading comprehension of Turkish
students, and the Map of Turkish Reading Culture (Ministry of Culture, 2011), it is clearly
seen that reading in Turkey has not earned the value it deserves. Given the fact that
societies have to re-define and re-structure themselves in every field as a result of the
developments that have taken place in the world in the last century, it is revealed that the
Turkish society whose majority has failed to acquire the literate forms of thinking, failed to
acquire the habit of reading and does not have a particular reading culture urgently has to
deal with the problem of reading. It is because reading is the key to acquiring, structuring,
generating and disseminating the information. It would be unwise to expect to see a society
surviving in the 21st century during which rapid developments are experienced since the
society is likely to fail to generate information as a result of not reading and eventually
unable to accomplish for a better future. Within this framework, many studies aimed at
revealing the reading habits of individuals studying at different levels of education and age
groups in Turkey have been carried out. When the content of the previous studies (Sahin,
2009; Arici; 2005; Ari and Demir, 2013; Can, Turkyilmaz and Karadeniz, 2010; Gur, 2014;
Mete, 2012) are examined, it is clearly seen that the universe and samples of these studies
were composed of participants who spent their lives in urban city centers. However, as a
result of scanning the web bases such as Web of Science, Wiley Online Library, Taylor and
Francis Online, EBSCO Academic Search Complete and ULAKBIM of Social Sciences, it was
found that no study was done in Turkey that investigated the reading habits, interests and
tendencies of students living in rural areas and villages. Within this framework, this study
designed according to qualitative research method aims to investigate the reading habits,
interests and tendencies of secondary school students living in rural areas and villages. For
this purpose, semi-structured interviews will be conducted in order to collect the data for
this study.
After the interview questions are prepared, they will be presented to four experts in the
relevant field for their expert views and then a pilot study will be implemented to test these
questions. The data to be obtained during the collection process will initially be analyzed
and based on these data, content analysis will be carried out in order to constitute the subthemes. During the process of constituting the sub-themes, two more experts in addition to
the researcher will analyze the data in detail and the sub-themes will be constituted. As a
result of data analysis, the reliability of the study will be calculated by the formula of
“Reliability = Consensus / (Consensus + Dissensus) x 100”.
In order to determine the participants for the study, “analogous (homogeneous sampling)”
technique, one of the techniques of purposeful sampling, will be used. The students living
and studying in the villages of the province of Kutahya will be included in the study. The
students and their families will be contacted and informed that a study titled “Reading
Habits, Interests and Tendencies of Students Living in Villages” is planned and asked for
their consent whether they wish to take part in the interviews for the study. As a result of
the interviews, 15 students will be included into the sampling by making sure that
individuals who may be a party to the problem are at the highest level of homogeneity.

The concepts of risk management and risk disclosures have received considerable attention
all over the world lately. However, there have been no research conducted about risk
disclosure practices in Turkey. This paper attempts to find out the risk management
disclosure practices within a sample of non-financial companies in BIST Corporate
Governance Index. This sample selection based on the assumption that as a part of good
corporate governance these companies will be more advanced in their risk disclosures. Their
annual reports for the year 2015 have been used for content analysis (a sentence based
approach was used). Risk information disclosures were analyzed considering the nature and
classification of the risks, temporal context (time orientation) and quantitative or
qualitative nature of the risks disclosed.
No previous risk disclosure studies related to non-financial companies in Turkey have been
done, therefore this research is valuable in linking risk management and transparency. This
study is also important for accounting setters and regulators which will help accounting
setters to improve risk disclosures in annual reports, management analysis and discussions;
for regulators to release a mandatory risk disclosure standard which will effect all decision
makers by providing information to analyse risk position of companies.
The results reveal that in absence of any regulatory guidance Turkish companies are not
voluntarily reporting risk information in the annual reports. Quantified risk disclosures are
in the minimum level and the biggest part of the risk disclosures are related to general
statements about companies’ risk policies which are not provide useful information about
risks they face. It is also obviously seen that financial risks are the most important part of
risks that are disclosed because of the capital market regulations.

and academic self-efficacy and a significant relationship (r=0.464, p=0.00) was found
between self-esteem and academic self-efficacy of these students. Moreover, a significant
difference between CGPA groups of students’ academic self-efficacy scores and a significant
difference between the classes of students’ self-esteem scores were observed. However, no
significant difference was found between female and male students’ self-esteem scores, no
significant difference between CGPA groups of students’ academic self-efficacy scores and
no significant difference between the classes of students’ academic self-efficacy scores.
From these findings, it was recommended that lecturers and university counseling services
need to identify ways to improve students’ self-esteem and academic self-efficacy to
enhance their academic performance.

One of the most important value in news production is the stories’ “currency”. Current
stories are followed more closely by the masses and the old ones remove from the agenda of
both masses and journalists.
Especially in recent years, news is being spreaded continuously by live broadcasts, breaking
news and internet. People can also follow the events by computers, tablets or mobile phones
throughout the day. At the end there are prime-time bulletins. This means that the media’s
race which accelerated by technology circulates the news widely untill night. Amazing speed
of the communication is tranforming the prominant news value: “freshness/currency”. One
day (as 24 hours) was enough for the traditional production rate of newspapers. But it is no
longer possible to continue at the same pace. This is because we live in a world that the
developments are outdating within munites. Information is consumed at an incredible rate
and so journalists are now faced with a critical question: “How would we convince people to
buy our newspapers which are made of yesterday’s events?” This study examines the needs
of journalists and news production for a better circulation. The analysis is expected to help

Turkey’s seek for Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) membership was a consequence
of Ankara’s multifaceted foreign policy paradigm, particularly heightened after 2007. This
new paradigm falls into the conceptual category of emerging middle powers diplomacy. As a
foreign policy behavioral aspect, these powers seek for amplifying their voice in various
relevant regions, via multilateral platforms. One of the regions that Turkey, in the post-2007
era, aspired to be more relevant was Asia, especially Central and Southeast Asia. SCO, as a
multilateral platform, has a peculiar significance, not only in terms of its potential to
support Turkey’s profile as an economic and commercial investor in Central Asia but also to
provide a leverage to Ankara in fostering energy contracts for future pipelines to bring
Central Asian energy to Europe via Turkey.
This paper aims to explore Ankara’s
multifaceted foreign policy from emerging middle powers perspective. In this framework,
the paper elaborates possible implications of Turkey’s, which is currently a dialogue partner,
SCO membership regarding the balance of power in Central Asia. For this elaboration the
paper aims to answer two main questions: how could Turkey manage the prospects of
Central Asian states in order to harvest their support and secondly under what
circumstances and conditions could Turkey transmogrify Chinese and Russian noncommitment for its membership?

The word miniature is based on italian word for “miniatur” and bases on the red liquid
named “minium” that used by the painters who decorates the books. The term miniature
easily fit in the meaning for paintings in India, Persia and Turkey as the Eastern named the
tiny little paintings miniature.
Ottoman miniature, lived its golden era between 16th and 17th centuries. Ottoman
miniature arts valuable for the Ottoman Empire, the palace hired artists to constitude a
community named “ehl-i hıref” since Fatih period. This community worked for the Sultan
during the Ottoman Empire’s wealthy and politically influent periods and created many
precious art works.
When Ottoman miniature arts studied visually, it’s understood that the styles (human

Assistant Professor
University of Sarajevo, Faculty of Law, Hrasnička cesta 15, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
This paper analyzes the provisions of applicable Civil Obligations Acts in Bosnia and
Herzegovina as well as Draft of Civil Obligations Act referring to commercial contracts. As
Bosnia and Herzegovina don't have a special commercial code, it is important to interpret
the provisions of existing regulations of general contract law. The reform process of contract
law in Bosnia and Herzegovina started in 2003, but it's not completed yet. Contemporary
trade business operations are specific by innovations characterized by the introduction of
new participants in the market, emergence and development of new models of doing
business and new business-legal constructions that eventually become new nominate
agreements. That is the main reason why domestic contract law should be reformed and new
types of modern forms of commercial contracts should be introduced as it is already done in
most contemporary legal systems. Commercial contracts are of great importance for the
legal and economic system of modern countries, especially for developing countries.
Therefore, there is strong need for establishment effective and usable legal framework of
modern commercial contract law in Bosnia and Herzegovina in order to improve the legal
environment for overall economic and social development.

Administration
The most important sources of income are taxes in public revenues. Taxes have many fiscal
and extra fiscal functions and they are one of the most important tools of fiscal policy. Taxes
are generally classified as direct and indirect taxes in the tax systems. The direct-indirect
taxes rate is of great significance in terms of the fiscal targets. The range of direct and
indirect taxes show some differences according to the development levels of countries.
While the share of direct taxes in total tax revenues is quite high before 1980s in Turkey;
there has been a rapid transition from indirect taxes to direct taxes in Turkey ever since
1980s. The share of direct taxes in total tax revenues has reached to 60 percent. The increase
of the direct taxes’ share in total tax revenues gives rise to several problems as well as the
positive situations. In this study; the increase of indirect taxes in Turkey is discussed in
terms of the objectives of fiscal policy and a comparison of the share of indirect taxes is
made between Turkey and European Union member states.

Transition to Presidential System in Turkey
Abdulkadir GÖLCÜ, Mustafa ŞEKER
New Media Department, Uşak University, Turkey
The concept of hegemony in media studies means that the ideas of the ruling class become
ruling ideas in society. According to this approach, mass media and news media are
controlled by the dominant class or political rulers in society which use it as a vehicle for
producing political and social consent over the rest of society. In this process, news texts
have become one of the most suitable areas for production of social consent in terms of
political situations. That is why; these texts are given a huge importance not only by
journalists or media experts but also politicians and social actors. Generally, production
process and discourse structures of news texts can shape or affect to readers perceptions
about the political events or situations. Being aware of this, news media and political actors
try to form public opinions and produce social consent about their policies or
implementations over news texts and discourses placed in news texts. Especially news
discourse is the most suitable place for shaping political perceptions and legitimizing
political implementations. In this study news published in the Turkish newspapers which
have close relations with political power will be analyzed in terms of consent production
about transition to presidential system in Turkey. For sampling, five newspapers and five
discussions were selected. As a qualitative research method, Critical Discourse Analysis
Method will be used for the analysis.

years, terrorism comes out as one of the most important reason of these international
migration movements. Unlike international mass exodus induced by terrorism usually give
rise to the destruction effects on host nation-states, international migration that took place
due to other reasons may have a positive impact on the economic performance of the host
nation-states. Therefore, host national states characterize terrorism based immigration
movements as threatening to their economies, and take more restrictive measures against it,
compared to other immigration movements.

and reasons by given to the views on the subject of economic schools. Latter, economic
impacts of international migration will be defined theoretically and then to demonstrate
differences economic and financial impacts of terrorism based immigration will be

DIGITAL DEMOCRACY AND SOCIAL MEDIA
Gülden Karakoç, Onur Taydaş, Enderhan Karakoç
Selcuk University Vocational School Of Social Sciences, Konya, Turkey
Depending on technological developments, internet is doubtlessly one of the most
significant developments in communication field. In so commonly use of internet which is
called “new media”, the effects of contents of internet is as important as that of investments
on the field, mobile technologies, and satellite networks are also big. For that reason, the
contents are gradually developing and utmost attention is paid to sustain its topicality.
However, the social networks which both facilitate the communication between the
individuals and provide them new relationships turned into a place where the “spiral of
silence” is broken. Thanks to social networks, individuals both maintained their social
relationships and they are able to comment on political and social events or react to those
events. When it is considered within this context, the size of effects of social networks on
the social events occurring all over the world may be seen.
Starting from the reasons mentioned above, it is fact that all the members or citizens have
equal rights in shaping the state policy. Especially through social networks, the citizens may
directly transfer their reactions to the institutions, enterprises, politicians, administrators or
bureaucrats and they may ask for their help for the deficiencies they encounter or may
directly seek for answers to the questions arising in their minds based on their respondents.
Hereby, it enables the individuals who are the fundamental principles of democracy gain a
quality indicating they have equal rights in shaping the policies of the organization or state.
For that reason, the researchers identify a new democracy such as “E-democracy”,
“Democracy 2.0”, “Advanced democracy” and “Digital democracy” in their researches in
order to draw attention to the significance of social networks and point out the new form of
democracy.
With reference to the developments experienced throughout the ages, the term democracy
which different definitions were made will be discussed under the title of “Digital
Democracy”. The differences between the classical perception of democracy and current
perception of democracy and the effects of social media on democratic societies will be
explained through the literature review.

Department of Labour Economics and Industrial Relations
In less than 5 years, more than 4.7 million people, including men, women, and children have
left their countries for their own safety and protection due to the war, oppression, violence,
and inhumane treatment in Syria. The first Syrian refugee to cross the Turkish-Syrian border
was in April 2011. As of February 2016, the number of refugees in Turkey has increased to
2.6 million, with only 260.000 refugees living in their designated camps. Due to the limited
capacity of camps, refugees have spread out to many different cities in Turkey. Denizli is one
of those cities. This study was carried out on refugees who have left their country because of
the war and conflict in Syria. Research/Study was carried out in-depth interview which is a
qualitative analysis method. Seven refugees from the Sumer and Akhan neighbourhood in

participants were asked a series of questions, prepared in Turkish, with help from an Arabic
interpreter. The conversations were recorded with the participants consent. The average
interview length was around 35 minutes; the shortest interview was 19 minutes and the
longest one was 58 minutes. Interviews were carried out in participants/refugees home with
their consent. All of the participants in this study remained anonymous and independently
designated. The findings obtained from these interviews provided information about both
the emigration process of refugees and their labour, shelter, and overall living conditions in
Denizli

In this study, the factors affecting Turkey’s hazelnut exportation are analyzed by the usage
of 21 years of data collected through 1992-2012 period. Cobb Douglas production function is
used in the study. Also, in the first formed model, supply and demand models are formed
and analyzed to define the statistically most meaningful consumption and production
variables in explaining the hazelnut exportation. The determination coefficient (R2) in the
hazelnut exportation, hazelnut supply and hazelnut demand equations varies between 0.482
and 0.979. According to the research findings, there is a decreasing returns to scale in
hazelnut exportation model while there is an increasing returns to scale in hazelnut supply
and demand models. In Turkey’s hazelnut exportation model; hazelnut world prices, shelled
hazelnut production amount, domestic hazelnut kernel consumption amount and almond
exportation amount are statistically meaningful. In Turkey’s hazelnut supply model;
hazelnut market price and walnut-hazelnut price parity; in Turkey’s hazelnut demand
model, almond-hazelnut price parity, shelled hazelnut production and walnut price

In shaping a society, the importance of educational institutions is unquestionable.
Improving individuals’ minds, adapting them to the society, raising their citizenship
awareness and having them embrace the social values can be counted as the primary
responsibilities of the teachers working in these institutions. They also have the missions
and responsibilities like being a role-model, preparing them to future and finally having
them be productive and responsible people.
From that perspective, teachers’ being taught in a sacred mission awareness thus putting
much emphasis on their own proficiency, being successful in their job, loving their job,
giving superior importance to preparing their students to the future or reengineering the
society have an extra importance. They are expected to be pedagogically complete and have
further general knowledge than the society.
In our research, we aimed the teachers’ updating their knowledge, gaining them professional
satisfaction and having them look forward to the future with hope thanks to an academic
information transmission between our universities and state school teachers. We called this
model as “Academic Information Bridge”. With this model, after signing the protocols
between universities and state schools, there will be small meetings at the end of each
month to find solutions to the problems of the state school teachers and by doing so
academic staff will also be able to update their knowledge and thereby universities
educational quality will be improved.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ORIENTED TRANSPORTATION POLICIES OF
THE EUROPEAN UNION

Selçuk University Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences
The rapid advancement of technology and ease of people’s access to the technological tools,
have allowed the communities to be directly contact each other independently of where they
are. This situation has been considered the leading actor for globalization, which is
supposed to cause the world become smaller. Development of technology has not only
impacted the communication but also has been effective on travel and transportation
activities. Today the rate of access to means of travel and transportation and purchasing
them personally has increased so substantially that, it cannot be compared with previous
periods. Although having a motor vehicle provides the individuals speed, time saving and in a sense- comfort; the terribly increase of the means of transport other than the public
ones has also brought along many problems, as well. Some of those negativities are; traffic
accidents, parking problems, stress caused by urban transport difficulties, psychological
traumas and the noise pollution caused by motor vehicles. Those negative phenomena
mentioned give rise to local problems. On the other hand, the greenhouse gases derived of
various compounds, which are exhausted to the atmosphere by motor vehicles, constitute a
cause for the global warming and depletion of the ozone layer and they create a worldwide
impact. The transportation sector that uses approximately 25% of the total energy of the
world, is the second source of greenhouse gases after the electricity generation sector.
Being aware of the fact that travel-transport has a wide service area with global impact,
European Union (EU) develops and maintains various actions in order to reduce and limit
the sector’s negative impacts on the environment. The subject of this study is to examine
the actions and projects, which are continued and targeted by the EU, in this respect. With
that aim in the study, first the historical background and the environmental fundamental
principles of the EU will be dealt, and then environmental protection-oriented
transportation policies of the EU will be evaluated after putting forward the environmental
problems originating from transportation.

Afyon Kocatepe Universitesi, Ahmet Necdet Sezer Kampusu
In this study, it is intended to make a theoretical and a conceptual discussion in political
sciences in the context of gender issues. Political science is a gender-blind discipline that
ignores gender issues. Even though some feminist theories take part in the mainstream
studies, they are evaluated as a marginalized category. One of the most important
contributions of this study is the inclusion of feminist theories in the mainstream political
studies through new institutionalism. In this study , it is intended to make a conceptual
analysis of feminist institutionalism that is a good cooperation of new institutionalism and
feminist theories. This theoretical combination of feminist institutionalism is a brand-new
issue in political science discipline, that’s why, the discussions over the theory are very
separated and not organized. Therefore, in this study it is intended to make an conceptual
analysis of feminist theory and new institutional approaches and then present a model of
feminist institutionalism as combining both new institutionalism and feminist theories
within the theoretical categorization.

THE UNCOMPROMISING COUPLE OF TURKISH MODERNIZATION; CULTURE
and CIVILIZATION
Ferhat Arık
PhD Student
Hacettepe University, Beytepe Campus, Faculty of Lecture, Department of Sociology
The distinction of ""culture and civilization"" is the outlook of the effort to build the Turkish
modernization on a solid ground, which is beyond a scientific conceptual discussion for
Turkish society. This conceptual duality -one of the reference points of Turkish
modernization- seeks via which tools and how the inevitable and obligatory interaction with
the ""modern world"" could be made. Shedding a light on one side of the modernization, this
article studies the conceptual discussion through Turkish Sociology perspective. The
conceptual discussion mainly focuses on two significant figures of the first and second
period of transformation and transition in Turkish sociology, who are Ziya Gökalp and Erol
Güngör respectively.
Both great sociologists converted ""culture and civilization"" concepts into the base units of
their analyzes to steer the Turkish modernization and determine the fundamental dynamics
during a period when the current social structure was under transformation and transition.
The period that Gökalp developed his analyzes is when an empire -entering into a
dissolution process- had its final struggles because it could not keep the pace with the fast
and threatening rise of the West. Failing with the rise of the West, the empire was
dominated by the desire to be like the West. Experiencing the social depression in person,
Gökalp tried to explain how a civilization could be transformed by preserving religious and
nationalist identities via his ""culture and civilization"" distinction.
Erol Güngör discussed the ""culture and civilization"" concepts in a different media with the
impact of changing conditions and technological progress in a period when a national state
was founded but when neither the industrialization nor urbanization and national economy
was completely modernized.
This study analyzes the Turkish modernization history in three parts. The first part is
discussed with Ziya Gökalp approach, second with Erol Güngör and the third with post-1980
economic and politic discussions.

A FORGOTTEN ANTAGONIST OF ANATOLIAN PRESS: AFİF EVREN (1908 1977)

Dr.
Department of Journalism, Faculty of Communication, University of Selcuk, Konya, Turkey
Afif Evren who was born in 1908 wrote poems, stories and essays throughout his active
journalism life beginning in 1922 as well as political news and comments. His books, essays,
anecdotes, and serials are the works with the characteristics and value of documentary
which all help us to understand the events of his period and recognize people. After 1952
when he had to close down the newspaper Babalık, he didn’t have a long term journalism
business. For short periods, he wrote on the newspapers of Yeni Konya, Öğüt, YeniMeram,
Zaman, Işık, Anadolu’da Hamle and Konya’nın Sesi. He had to frequently stand up to the
newspaper Ekekon published by CHP due to his critics on the local services and he haershly
criticized the newspaper and its newspaperman.
Evren didn’t employ fear and anxiety in his works and didn’t regard journalism as the
stepping-stone. In one of his article, he considered using his occupational authority and
journalism or any individual work for his own benefit as a moral weakness. He preferred
having by short hairs of his readers instead of political powers (CHP, DP). He occupied
himself with the problems of others and sought for solution to those problems. For that
reason, the Aunt Sally in his articles are mostly local and national political powers.
Majority of the people who write in the newspapers in Anatolia during his period consisted
of intellectuals including teachers, lawyers and doctors who conduct such activities as the
side job. In this term, Evren is among the leaders. He doesn’t have another profession except
journalism. He produced all his income from journalism, he lived by his pen, he didn’t have a
profession except journalism and he leaned over backwards for this purpose.
In this study, Afif Evren who is a forgotten opposition figure despite he should have left his
trace in the Konya press with a long history was discussed. It was aimed in this study to
reveal his contributions to the revealing and introducing the local cultural richness in
addition to his opponent identity. Within this framework, the examples from the newspaper
Babalık where he wrote majority of his political articles were analyzed.

Mass media have taken their place among the indispensables of our age. The TV, in
particular, enjoys a more important position than the other media in terms of both audience
and use/availability. Given that almost all homes in the world have a television set, the
quality, content and forms of broadcasts gain importance. Thus, positive and negative
effects of television on audiences constitute the subject matter of this study. The purpose of
the study is an investigation of the private and public children's TV channels in Turkey in
terms of both content and form. The number of children's TV channels broadcasting in
Turkey have reached almost twenty; however, the leading ones among them in terms of the
size of audience and coverage area are TRT Cocuk and Yumurcak TV. 24-hour-broadcasting
of these two television channels were recorded on video cassettes within the scope of this
study. The data that was obtained was studied under various headings using the content
analysis method. Almost all of the programs broadcasted on child television channels that
contain violent elements have foreign origin. This situation proves that domestic programs
are careful about violent elements. The perceptions of broadcast and broadcast contents of
channels do not fully overlap. However, it would not be wrong to suggest that broadcasters
are more cautious related to this matter.

Job satisfaction can be considered as one of the most complex concepts of organizational
behavior literature because of the multifaceted structure. But it is clear that job satisfaction
is an important factor when it leads to effective companies. Although job satisfaction
completely doesn’t mean motivation, job satisfaction theories are highly connected with the
motivation theories such as Maslow’s needs hierarchy theory, Herzberg’s motivator-hygiene
theory; the Job Characteristics Model; Expectancy theory, Equity theory and the
dispositional approach. If the business organizations want to have highly satisfied
employees, they should consider the above motivation theories. In the frame of Equity
theory, working status of employees can be the significant factor of job satisfaction level.
The aim of this study is to compare the job satisfaction levels of employees working as a
different status namely –contract and sub-contract- in the same state company. The data
gathered from 214 employees through using questionnaire form. We use Minnesota job
satisfaction scale to measure the value of job satisfaction level for each employee and
analyze the available data by using appropriate statistical tests. According to the results,
contract employees are significantly more satisfied than sub-contract employees. The
results are consistent with our a priori expectation. The most important inference from
these results is that the employees working as sub-contract status have more negative
feelings than contract employees because of job security, promotion opportunities and
income equality.

Turkey
The natural disasters have affected many aspects of human life from the past to present.
Therefore natural disasters have been the subject of many studies. These studies usually
include effects of natural disaster, coping with the natural disaster and management of the
natural disaster.
According to The International Disaster Database, natural disaster can be defined as “the
situation or event, which overwhelms local capacity, necessitating a request to national or
international level for external assistance; an unforeseen and often sudden event that
causes great damage, destruction and human suffering. Though often caused by nature,
disasters can have human origins”.
Disaster risk management has ensured the development sustainability for countries. So, the
public and private sectors have been cooperated in order to reduce macroeconomic and
capital costs caused by natural disasters. This partnership has reduced the financial impacts
of disasters and thereby it has ensured more resilient communities to the disasters.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of public and private partnership in
the management of natural disaster risk. It is also analyzed the role sharing of the public and
private sectors for effective natural disaster management. In the study, the new public and
private partnership structure is recommended in the natural disaster risk management for
Turkey.

Economic and/or financial problems have become complex structures and it’s very difficult
to find simple solutions for them. Both economics and finance are social sciences; and
therefore the problems related to these two fields must be solved in this perspective.
Computer-supported economic software and econometric tools have been increasingly used
in problem solving and decision making in social sciences. However in economics or finance,
decision maker must consider not only mathematical or computer-based solutions but also
human choices.
(MCDA) process is one of the most appropriate ways to find solutions to social problems. It’s
different than other traditional optimization methods. Human decisions and other choices
have been integrated into the solutions reached through MCDA. Although the origin of this
process goes back to the Classical Economists of the 19th century, the main developments of
this area are the products of the last thirty years.

and Herzegovina for politicians, policy-makers and overall the public. This paper will be
based on a survey as to test public perceptions about usefulness of democratic peace theory
of politics and to what extent present political establishment managed to apply liberal
democratic values coupled with open market economy in creating free and pluralist political,
economic and socio-cultural environment. Our survey will measure voters and political

that “Everyone has the right to own and inherit property. These rights may be limited by law
only in view of public interest. The exercise of the right to own property may not be in
contravention of the public interest.”

consequence of the right of property. This right has been given to people with certain
obligations in various laws. law liability to heirs of bringing tax laws are also included.
Heirs must firstly fulfil in obligations of tax laws - in terms of succession by inheritance- If

Differences in their developments between provinces and regions are one of the most basic
issues both for developing and developed countries. In addition to some other factors
causing these differences, the resources being used for different activity levels between
provinces and regions are thought to be effective and important. Significant development
differences between provinces and regions are observed. The reasons causing these
difference can be considered as the inadequate infrastructures, insufficient accumulations of
capital, the existing organisational structures and socio-cultural affecting negatively
development events, spatial issues (spatial econometrics), historical and geographical
impacts, and entrepreneurial culture. The data envelopment analysis (VZA) can be often
used for analyzing the inter-regional differences in terms of development. The effects of the
provinces’ resource usage can be measured and decided which provinces are efficient, and
which ones are not efficient economically. At the same time, the potential improvement
ratios can be calculated to make the provinces to be efficient. The aim of this study is to
measure the efficiency on the existing resources usage amongst these provinces with VZA
method, through public expenditures and other socio-economic and physical indicators in
the period of 2008-2013. With VZA method, it will be decided whether the provinces are
efficient or not. Then, the potential improvement ratios will be calculated to make the
efficient provinces to become efficient. As a result, alternative political proposals will be
provided for more effective use of their resources. Moreover, the effects of different
variables on the efficiency will be identified with the Tobit model.

Adoption is a legal relationship which builds an artificial paternity between adopter and
adopted. Through the history, there were some reasons and purposes to introduce adoption.
However these reasons or purposes also might prevent adoption from organizing. Besides
adoption is not arranged in some countries legal systems.
In point of making an adoption, the first purpose that we faced with is maintaining family’s
religious id est religious intents. Especially at the first era of Roman Law, this purpose is
prioritized. Being over of supersititious beliefs, evolving and changing in some social
structures and political, social, emotional and economic aims begin to create new intents of
adoption.
Building an adoption with Political intent shows itself with some ethnicities’ naturalization.
Changing statues of people who belong to some groups via adoption may be also accepted as
an implementation that aimed to political intent.
After Disappearing of religious purposes, the most desirable motive becomes emotional
purposes. These purposes are on to social purposes.
On the other hand social purposes are the purposes which are mostly taken as basis by
modern societies. These purposes include three subheading. The first of these shows up as
providing orphans parental love. The second is about providing to people who do not have
children the feel of being parent and keeping their family name alive. The last purpose is
providing the children’s benefit. This is also secure its position as the main purpose in
codes.
Economic purposes have also a role in building adoption. They are mostly shows itself in
heirdom. In modern society, making an adoption with such a motivation is not going to be
possible from the point of adoption stipulations.
In this study, we are going to discourse the purposes which underlie acceptance of making
adoption and try to conclude via commenting its place in legal systems.

International Trade and Finance, University of Dumlupınar, Kutahya, Turkey
Traditional costing methods are used in firms that have standard processes and limited
product and customer variety. But there is a need for new costing methods as a result of
some factors such as; greater customer variety due to globalization, changes in products,
services and production processes, greater need for accurate, trustable and quick
information and globalized competition. Therefore there are important topics that firms
need to deal with. Some of these are to focus on specific activities to increase profitability,
to decrease the cost of activities, to determine the activities that do not have high added
value and their costs, to determine the break-even point, to conduct profitability analyses
like customer profitability and whether every customer is profitable. In order to keep record
of these accounts, modern costing calculation methods like Activity Based Costing and Time
Driven Activity Based Costing are used. In this context, on the topic of “Using Modern
Costing Methods in Accounting Records of Exporting Manufacturing Companies”, with the
support of Dumlupınar University Scientific Research Projects Units, this research is
conducted on exporting manufacturing companies in Kutahya. After the talks with Kutahya
Chamber of Commerce and Organized Industrial Zone, it is not been found any information
in their publications / accounts about costing methods. Therefore, this research identifies
the usage of modern costing methods. The findings obtained in this research are statistically
analyzed and the underlying reasons of the preferences of the companies to whether or not
use the modern costing methods are discussed.

The century we are in is in constant development and change. These changes that occur
create certain differences in human nature. A modern human is now characterized as a being
with a wide perspective who investigates, questions, can think critically and solve problems,
has a wide point-of-view and tries to understand different thoughts by showing empathy.
Cüceloğlu (1993) defines critical thinking as “an active and organized cognitive process that
aims to understand ourselves and events that occur around us by being aware of our own
thinking processes, considering the thinking processes of others and implementing what we
have learned”. This research is based on the presumption that there is a relationship
between the reading interests and habits of students and their critical thinking tendencies in
today’s education world.
With this study, it is aimed to determine whether the critical thinking tendencies of
Candidate Turkish Teachers vary by their reading habits and reading interests, and show the
relation between them. In line with the purpose, the students studying at the Department of
Turkish Teaching of the Education Faculty of Dumlupınar University during the Spring Term
of 2015-2016 Academic Year were included in the scope of the study. A survey study was
conducted on the sample determined. Reliability analysis, frequency analysis, t-test,

An Evaluation on New and Changing Responsibilities of Strategic Public
Relations in the Context of Organisational Strategy Levels
Çİğdem Karakaya
Assistant Professor
Akdeniz Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi Dumlupınar Bulvarı Kampüs Antalya Türkiye
Changing business paradigms have led to the focus of public relations from communication
applications to relationship management. This shift can be closely related with
organisational strategy levels. While there are five organisational strategy levels (enterprise,
corporate, business, functional, operational) in organisational management literature,
public relations contributes to enterprise, functional and operational strategy levels. The
main reason why public relations provide insights for enterprise strategy level is that this
strategy mainly focuses on the relationships between corporate and society, which is the
basic responsibility of the domain of public relations. In this strategy level public relations
scans the macro environment, segments the organisational stakeholders and publics,
determines the strategic issues and builds the potential scenarios to management as an
input for strategic decisions. These inputs can be used not only for strategic decisions in the
enterprise strategy level, but also they guide to the public relations department’s strategy in
the functional level. In parallel with the inputs from enterprise strategy level, in the
functional level public relations strategy is developed either planed or deliberate, then
strategic communication plan is set off. According to the strategic communication plan,

Language and Literature, Office 210, Kırklareli, Turkey
The representatives of expressionism developing at German in the 20th century were in
favor of uprising against the lifestyle that was brought about by industrialization and
defying all the impositions of society. They refused to support any kind of authority which
edit and create the system concept that led to the crisis they were in. Expressionists try to be
the spokesman of “new man” arising from the chaos caused by war and sharp social
contradiction. Radical revolt, tragic situation, underlining the paradox, fantastic narrative,
dream world try to subrogate the unconscious and mental reality on the place of action by
an exaggerated and grotesque expression.
In “Canlı Maymunlar Lokantası” which was penned by Gungor Dilmen in 1963, a restaurant
that serves alive monkey brains for their private customers in Hong Kong is selected as a
place. The reason behind the unusual place and fiction in the drama is for making stunnig
the criticism of colonialism activities that was accelerated by Industrial Revolution
strengthened the sovereignty of the West on the East and caused the Eastern countries
becoming dependent on Europe in terms of economy. In the drama, a contumacy and
reaction against the world order are concerned as the expressionist theater. As much as the
criticism of West, East’s unresponsiveness against the West and the acceptance of injustice
are given through by the waiter who is apathy while Mr. Wong is being eaten alive and Çoo.
Thus in the drama, on both sides are criticized by a sarcastic manner and the extraordinary
characters that are chosen by a deliberate decision.

Great Depression. Eight years after the eruption of the global crisis, advanced countries, and
especially the European Union (EU), are still in a profound state of macroeconomic and
financial fragility. Dramatically affected by the global financial and economic crisis, Europe
resorted to a substantial amount of macroeconomic stimulus to support its recovery.

Economics and Administrative Sciences, Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University
Great Britain becomes a member of European Union after a controversial and long process in
1973, during the first enlargement wave of EU. Great Britain, one of powerful countries of
the world, although initially was quite reluctant to join the union, later accepted
membership, but has maintained its independence on some of the key issues. During the
period over the last forty years, the relations between the Union and Great Britain have not
reached the expected level. Today, a contradictory and controversial process has been going
on. One of the main problems between the Union and country is the migration problem.
Great Britain's immigration policy disagree with the EU, and the relations strained more
with economic crisis and the issue of GB’s membership to the Union put on the agenda.
Great Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron announced in his speech in 2013 that if the
Conservative Party wins the 2015 general elections, he would hold a referendum on GB
membership to the Union. And as Conservative Party won the election and come to the
power alone, holding a referendum became an obligation. Although initially it was planned
to be held in 2017, now it is scheduled to be held on the 23th June 2016, earlier date than
expected.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Great Britain's immigration policy on
its relation with the EU. Also, GB population, labor market, migration flows to the country
over the last ten years will be discussed and the reasons will be studied. At the same time,
the reasons of the opinion differences on immigration between Great Britain and EU will be
identified and views on the future development of the issue will be put forward.

Local Services in the Context of Political Preferences: The Case of Konya
Ali ŞAHİN, Yasin TAŞPINAR
Selcuk University Faculty of Economics and Administratice Sciences
Generally, in the studies related with the citizen satisfaction about the services; the levels of
satisfaction with various services and preferences or expectations regarding service types or
areas are dealt and some suggestions about the actions to be taken are made in that context.
However in this research, we will discuss whether the citizens’ perceptions of the services
provided to them are affected by their political choices. There is a reality relating to the
services offered to citizens, and that reality is constant and concrete, when viewed
objectively. On the other hand, the fact about whether the perception of that reality is
affected by the degree of similarity of one’s political preferences to that of the local
authority, administrator and some decision-making bodies of which are determined through
a political election process, is at least as important as the reality itself.
Local governments, which are the closest service units to citizens, are organisations dealing
with citizen satisfaction, due to their authorities being elected and their being face to face
with the citizens. There are many factors that affect the citizens' perception of satisfaction
with local services. Some of those are the factors such as; the attitudes of the staff, the speed
and efficiency of services, and the adequateness of the price. On the other hand, some
personal characteristics of citizens may also have an impact on the level of their satisfaction.
The subject of our research is the relationship between the political preferences and the
perception of and also the satisfaction with the local government. The findings obtained
through the field study will be analysed in this regard and it will be tried to determine the
strength and direction of the supposed relationship.
In the application part of the study, field study method, which takes the data obtained
through questionnaires as the base, will be used. The distributed and returned
questionnaires of the field research will be controlled in terms of consistency and reliability.
The data on the questionnaire forms will be the encoded and uploaded to the statistical
analysis program. The questionnaire data collected during the field study will be analyzed

METAPHORS ABOUT ACADEMIC STAFF
Ali KORKUT, İsmail KESKİN
School of Foreign Languages, Dicle University
Although it is generally regarded as ‘simile’, metaphor can be considered an analogy which
provides relational information about something. Metaphors are very widely used and
pervasive in almost any discipline, in sociology, language and literature, education,
psychology and religion. Metaphors can indicate clues regarding subtle perceptions in mind.
They reflect what people have in their subconscious, and provide opportunity for us to infer
about things and phenomena in general. When considered within the educational sciences,
they may be worth using in order to develop schools, educate the faculty better or
strengthen the quality of education services the stakeholders demand. This study aims to
reveal what/which metaphors the prospective teachers have in their mind about the
academicians teach their class. The working group is comprised of prospective teachers
studying in different departments in Ziya Gökalp Faculty of Education, Dicle University.
Data regarding participants' perception of the academicians were collected using a sentence:
"Academician is like ........... , because .......". The expression ‘like’ indicates the relationship
between the subject and the source and the background of the metaphorical imagination is
concretized by the word ‘because’. In this research was used phenomenological design,
along with a qualitative research method. The analysis and interpretation process of the
metaphors will follow a four-step procedure, namely (1) metaphor identification, (2) the
classification of the metaphors, (3) the category development, (4) the validity and reliability.
The data collection process is continued at present, and the findings and discussion will be
shared at plenary session at the conference.

Health is one of the most important rights of individuals. Because of this, individuals
frequently benefit from the mass media as well as health institutions. However, commercial
broadcasting and publishing of monopolized media make individuals misinformed; impose
upon them and reinforce consumption. In recent years, this kind of unethical journalism
approach reflects on not only traditional press, but also the Internet journalism. This
problem has become visible in these channels. From this point of view, the main assumption
of this study is “the Internet newspapers as a type of monopolized media pursue a
commercial, manipulative, tantalised, alarmist, and consumption-oriented publishing policy
in health issues”. Accordingly, the aim of this study is to reveal and interpret unethical
components in health news.

Rapid changes that constantly occur in the technology of work and methods of doing a
business create a pressure on organizations with regards to adapting to their environment,
and thus, organizations are forced to change. The organizations lagging behind the changes
in their environment fail to reach their aims and targets in time, and accordingly risk their
existence. There are many factors that hinder the organizations from keeping pace with
changes that are regarded challenging because the organizations try to change deeplyrooted individual and organizational habits within the organizations. One of the most
significant impediments against organizational change and development is the concept of
organizational inertia that is associated with stagnation, inactivity, quiescence, idleness,
dilatoriness, and inability to take action, impeding the efficiency of an organization.
This study aims to identify the effect of organizational inertia, which creates significant
results on organizational efficiency, on the stress and job burnout levels of the staff that
significantly influence the job performance at the workplace, and to determine the
intermediary effect of stress on variables, as well as stress concepts. It was applied the scales
related to the organizational inertia, stress, and burnout for the academic and
administrative staff of a public university. After the field study via e-mail, it it is concluded
that there is a positive relationship between organizational inertia perceptions and and both
dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) of university staff and
in this relation; organizational stress has a mediator role. In this context, the more
employees perceive organizational inertia, the more they experience burnout.

Environment, which can make a direct or an indirect impact on living creatures, has been
able to draw attention on the problems arising from unconscious utilization of humans since
the 20th century. The growth and variation of the environmental issues necessitated the
legislation of environment as a right. With its both singular and collective qualities, the
environmental right which is included within the third generation fundamental rights and
liberties and which has a recent history, underlines sharing the responsibility of
environmental protection. Mechanisms of enforcement and responsibility have been
improved by the environmental law, and the environmental right has been guaranteed by
the legal assurance and thus fulfilling the objective of legating a livable environment to the
next generations is intended. Since the protection of the environmental right requires
cooperation, the issue has gained importance in law and 1970s became the years that the
environmental right was constitutionalized. After the 1980s, like many other developing
countries, legislative arrangements diversified both quantitatively and qualitatively in order
to reduce and control the environmental problems in Turkey too. In this study, which is
indited in order to draw attention to the importance of environmental right that is anchored
in the right to live, the reasons underlying the awareness towards the environment are
addressed and the development of the environmental right is examined closer with the help
of legislations. In this context, firstly, a background that we can evaluate the development of
the environmental right by referring to the change within the views over the environment is
formed. The definition, importance, constituents and the development of the notion of
environmental right within the international platform take part in the second part. A
panoramic analysis of how environmental right reflects on Turkish legislation takes part in
the third and the last part of the study.

A Political Party “of Turkey” Sacrificed for the Sake of Conjuncture: Peoples’
Democracy Party (HDP)
Atil Cem CICEK, Selcuk Aydin, Huseyin Baran
Political Science and Public Administration, Kafkas University, Kars, Turkey
Many political parties have been founded that represent or claim to represent Kurdish
politics. All but Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) and Peoples’ Democracy Party (HDP) were
closed down by the Constitutional Court on the grounds of having organic ties with terror.
HDP, despite being referred to solely as a regional party and having difficulties due to their
organic ties with PKK, has taken major steps towards becoming a party “of Turkey” with a
different rhetoric, thus being different from its predecessors. HDP’s being “a political party
of Turkey” was not only going to represent the Kurds but also those who were feeling
alienated. This rhetoric was welcomed as a glimmer of hope by the segments who felt
excluded. In addition to that, positive messages were given to the public about the
resolution of the State-PKK conflict by finding political solutions. The disarmament and
politicization of PKK were almost completely attributed to HDP’s success.
The elections of June 7, 2015 created the opportunity that HDP (and many other segments)
were hoping for. HDP gained access to the Parliament with 80 representatives and 13.1
percent vote ratio. Despite this, it took a passive stance about disarming PKK and implied
with its discourse and actions that the politics did not mean much to PKK. The Peace
Process, which had been carried out for years with the state, was seriously damaged after the
June 7, 2015 elections with PKK taking up arms yet again with all its power. However, a
significant political representation to take the Kurdish question to the Parliament had been
formed. In the light of these, what were the developments that put the Peace Process in
disarray and what were the facts that caused PKK to take up arms again? This study will try
to answer these questions in the light of the recent developments in Syria that are assumed
to be in favor of the Kurds.

There are many types of behavior and acts that corrupt political decency. Behaviors and acts
that disrupt political decency can be briefly named Political Corruption. Political corruption
is present in different sizes and varieties in all governmental systems as monarchy, oligarchy
or democracy. Political corruption, which is one of the main problems of modern-day
political approach, it is also one of the underlying reasons of disruptions in the functioning
of political mechanism. Political corruption is a concept that is also closely related to ethics.
The institutional works carried out in this area in Turkish political life has not been
sufficient until recently. Today, one of the important institutions established for this
purpose is the Commission of Political Ethics. When the methods and principals employed
and the results achieved by the Commission are observed, it is clear that there are some
disruptions. For this reason, in our study, solution suggestions aimed at the disease of
political corruption in the framework of the political understanding of Farabi, one of the
Islamic thinkers, will be generated. Farabi associates the goal of the state, a political
organization, with virtue, a moral concept. But in modern day politics, the political ethics
understanding that Farabi offers leads us to an impasse between the ideal and reality. This
impasse is mentioned in our study and solution suggestions will be made through the
appropriate points.

support some social responsibility projects by considering their responsibilities to the
society. As opinion leaders, famous people’s involvement about social responsibility
projects, can be useful for increasing the awareness of the project and also encourage other
people as well. However, it can be an arguable subject if these actions are really a part of
charity or not. Mostly, people’s perceptions about charity are the same with social
responsibility. However, charity, which is really different from corporate social
responsibility, is another important issue to be explained. As it is known, today, not only the
products and services, but also the other things like opinions, places or people can be
marketed. So, it can be thought that the famous people use this situation as a marketing tool
for themselves. In this study, attitude towards charity is examined with the case of Ice
Bucket Challenge. By this aim, a descriptive research is designed.

Bosnia remained a state of Ottoman Empire from 1463 to 1878. This region, also known as
‘Evlad-ı Fatihan’, have been an important location through history. There has always been
cultural interaction and strong relationships between Bosnia and Turkey. This interaction
and friendly relations continues even today.
For the Ottoman Empire, the 19th century was a period of innovation in almost all areas.
The first printing press in Turkish language and other languages, particularly in İstanbul and
other centers of the Empire, emerged and developed in this century. Bosnia is one of the
countries, outside of today’s Turkey, where Turkish press emerged and maintained its
existence for long years.
In the 19th century when Ottomans published the first Turkish newspapers, 6 newspapers
were published in Bosnia. These newspapers were: Bosanski Vijestnik, Bosnia, Bosanski
Cvijetnik(Gulsen-i Saray), Neretva, Vatan.
In this study, among these six newspapers, we selected three of them: Bosnia, Bosanski
Cvijetnik (Gulsen-i Saray) and Vatan newspapers. The subjekt of this study is how those
three newspapers gave the coverage on publishing policies, present situation those days and

In this paper we analyze regional house price convergence in Turkey using monthly data of
seven big cities covering the period January 2003 and June 2015. Both linear unit root and
unit root with structural breaks tests do not support the existence of house price
convergence in Turkey. The results also suggest that the implementation of the mortgage

IN THE TURKISH CEMENT INDUSTRY

Department of Economics, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey
In today's competitive conditions, the importance of the concept of efficiency is increasing
day by day. In terms of businesses that operate in the same industry, efficiency indicators
are guiding in determining the competitive strategies. In this study efficiency analysis of a
total of 17 businesses, which operate in the Turkish cement industry and trade on Istanbul
Stock Exchange, is made for 2009-2015 period. Data Envelopment Analysis is used for
efficiency measurement.
Data Envelopment Analysis, which is a frequently used method in applied studies in various
fields, measures efficiency both according to maximum output with the fixed input and fixed
output with the minimal input, under the assumption of both variable and fixed returns. In
this context, the stages of analysis are listed as selecting the decision-making unit, creating
input-output sets, the selection of the model and the evaluation of the results. In this study,
the output oriented efficiency measurement is performed under the assumption of variable
returns to scale. In order to reveal comparative efficiencies of businesses operating in the
cement sector, two methods have been utilized. In the first method, current ratio, financial
leverage ratio and the ratio of short-term liabilities in total liabilities are used as inputs; the
return on equity and the return on assets are also considered as outputs. In the other
method inputs are unchanged; but distributed profit ratio to net profit and price-earnings
ratio are included in the model as outputs.
According to the results of efficiency analysis, which is made with the help of Data
Envelopment Analysis, in both methods the level of businesses efficiencies detected as
similar in some years. In this context, a business with good profitability doesn’t mean that
this business provides the best returns. In the same manner, a profitable business profit
distribution ratio is determined not to be equally high. On the other hand, a business, which
exhibits good performance in the industry, has been shown not to be equally effective on
financial profitability. It is concluded that, factors related to the market are also effect on
efficiency of the businesses.

In Turkey, for the organization of health services to be effective, efficient and equitable, to
obtain their finance and to deliver them, Health Transformation Program (HTP) is
introduced by year 2003 and various applications are initiated in the direction of HTP’s
particular components. One of the components determined by HTP is to remove the role of
Ministry of Health’s health service server, and to turn the Ministry of Health into an element
planning and monitoring the whole system, and to ensure that all the health service
institutions, particularly hospitals can meet the incomes and the expenses of their own. For
this purpose, in 2011, ‘Decree Law Concerning the Organization of the Ministry of Health
and Its Affiliates’ is published and in the direction of PSC, Ministry of Health Service is
restructured and Public Hospital Unions are constituted. With this legal regulation,
hospitals are expected to be able to meet their expenses with own income. An important way
for hospitals to balance their incomes and expenses is to use their sources efficiently.
In this study, it is aimed to analyze the status of Turkey Public Hospital’s efficiency, quality
and performance and to classify hospitals in terms of performance indicators. In this way, it
will be possible to determine if the hospitals can use their sources efficiently or not. In the
research, the data are provided from the Ministry of Health and they belong to the year of
2014 of the hospitals. In the research, each public hospital’s performance indicators
(average day that patient stays, inpatient rate, bed turnover rate, bed turnover range, bed
occupation rate and crude mortality rate) are calculated separately and hospitals are
clustered in terms of performance indicators using clustering analysis. Research analyses are
performed using Microsoft Office Excel 2016 and SPSS 20,0 packaged software. With the
research it is determined that more improvement is needed on indicators, particularly on
bed occupation rate and several suggestions are made in this direction.

In this study, it is aimed to examine the course of hospital merger and acquisition
transactions that took place between the years 2008-2015 in health sector in Turkey. In
addition, revealing the factors that cause mergers and acquisitions is among the objectives
of the study. Research is a descriptive study; it is investigated hospital mergers and
acquisitions between the years 2008-2015 in health sector by scanning reports published by
""Ernst & Young"" and ""Deloitte"". Data related to merger and acquisition transactions is
classified by year of transaction, company that acquire, country that acquire, destination
country, share proportion, deal value and type of transaction (merger or acquisition).
48 hospital merger and acquisition transactions was realized between the years 2008-2015 in
the health sector in Turkey. Transactions were in the form of acquisition except one merger.
It is identified that there were 4 transactions in 2008, 1 transaction in 2009, 10 transactions
in 2010, 15 transactions in 2011, 2 transactions in 2012, 7 transactions in 2013, 6
transactions in 2014 and 3 transactions in 2015. While 29 of 48 hospitals was acquired by
companies operating in Turkey, 19 of 48 hospitals was purchased by companies outside
Turkey. The general trend was towards the purchase of the entire hospital.
When taken into account difficulties in the health and hospital sector (cost, legal
requirements, etc.), it is predicted that hospital chain will acquire small hospitals in Turkey,
that have growth potential in the future, enabling economies of scale advantages and
facilitates the geographically spread.

The Developments in Foreign Direct Investments in Turkey After 2000’s
AYSE GUNAY BEKAR
Assistant Professor
Department of Public Finance, Faculty of Economic and Administrative Sciences, University
of Dokuz Eylul, Izmir, Turkey
Investments in a foreign country can be made in various forms, not only in the form of
financial assets such as foreign bonds, equities and financial bills but also in the form of
phsical capital. While investments on financial assets are named as financial investment or
portfolio investments or indirect investments, investments on real production are named as
real investments or direct investments.
Foreign direct investments can be defined as “Investments of foreign firms on the firms in
another country by purchasing a domestic firm, providing initial capital for a new firm or
increasing capital of a domestic firm”. A foreign investment is accompanied by new
technology, information about business administration and visitorial power of the foreign
investor. With the aim of spreading its production in other countries rather than the country
in which it is established, if a firm establishes production facilities or purchases domestic
production facilities in other countries in which the corporate office of this firm does not
exist, we define this investment as ‘a foreign direct investment’.
World countries have a great competition among themselves in order to benefit from foreign
direct investments. The most important reasons for this competition are the significant
benefits of foreign direct investments to these countries such as capital, technology, modern
know-how, management skills and marketing and exporting opportunities.
Foreign direct investment to Turkey has significantly grown especially after 2003. Due to the
improvements in economic indicators, starting the negotiation process with the EU towards
Turkey’s full membership and putting the Foreign Direct Investment Law into force have
made Turkey a more attractive country for international investors. Although Turkey faced
relatively low foreign capital inflows until 2000’s, since then it has achieved to attract more
foreign capital inflows. In this paper, we analyse the developments in foreign direct
investments in Turkey especially after 2000 and the effect of these investments on the
Turkish economy.

The number of the accountancy profession members has been increasing every passing day.
Techological changes, differentiation of the expections of customers cause emergence of a
different competition in this intensity. However, the point which should not be forgetten
refers to competition in the quality of the service provided and the work done by also
considering ethical values. Nowadays, liables are not contented with experience and low
payment, they also expect vocational and technical consultancy procurement. Under these
conditions, attitudes of the accountancy profession members to their liables gain
significance. There are a number of studies on the issue in the related literature. Since
behavioural characteristics come into prominence more frequently, number of the studies
conducted has increased. In this study, it is aimed at assessing attitudes of the accountancy
profession members to their liables. For this purpose, the questionnaire designed after
literature review will be applied to the accountancy profession members in Corum and the

Public opinion as a user of knowledge uses the information produced by accountancy
information system in the point of decision making. However, accuracy and reliability,
independency and objectivity of the information provided by profession members via
financial tables are closely related with the qualities of profession members who prepare the
tables. One of these qualities refers to professional consciousness and ethics which appear
among the qualities of accountancy profession members. Among these qualities, being
ethical and behaving ethically reserves quite significant place. While informing public
opinion, profession members working in our country should obey the laws, generallyaccepted accountancy principles, internal and international standarts, ethical principles and
rules throughout the process in order to reach the intended consequence. In addition, how
much information providers are perceived or recognized ethically by public opinion rather
than how much they behave ethically is significant. For this reason, this study is conducted
in order to learn the assesment of public opinion on the accountancy profession members.
This study will use questionaire as a research method and people who live in Corum will be

The latest country where conflicts, which occurred in the Arab world recently and are called
the Arab Spring, are seen widespread is Syria. Russia and the USA have also intervened in
the conflicts in Syria which have started with a civil commotion and are going on with the
invasion of the terrorist organization called ISIS. The Syrian people who had no life safety
within the war fled to their territory and took refuge in Turkey and many European
Countries. While European Countries hesitated in opening their gates to the refugees at
first, Turkey opened its gate to the neighbouring country Syria and many refugees entered
Turkey. The refugees who want to pass to the European Countries have tried to pass the seas
riding small vessels. However, some refugees who fled to ensure their life safety succumbed
to the waves in small dinghies and lost their lives. The world states remaining silent to this
situation terrified with the corpse of the three year-old Baby Aylan who came to be washed
up ashore dead in Bodrum, a district of Muğla, on 2nd of September 2015 and many
newspapers both in Turkey and in the world brought up the issue to the agenda as
“humanity washed ashore”. As a result of the questioning of conscience and humanity of the
world states with the photo of the baby washed up ashore, some European countries opened
their gates to the refugees. With the photo of the baby washed up ashore, which came to the
fore in the world, the news have been built mainly in a way that can manipulate the feelings
of humans. Therefore, the aim of this study is to examine how the photo of the baby washed

Jacques Derrida describes the cinema as ‘a battle of phantoms’. By this way, he claimed that
cinema between ‘the light and darkness’ and the reality between ‘existence and absence’ can
be in compliance. Derrida as a philosopher chased things invisible from when and where we
look from and he argued that the cinema does or must do this. This study, which tries to
read the cinema film from a post-structuralist perspective, focuses on invisible thing on the
track of Derrida and his sons and also it refers to a context which was established by meta
narratives with language games. Ömer Kavur signed ‘Ah Güzel İstanbul’ is analysis object of
this study. This study is based on the constructive theory of representation which expresses
that films contibute on construction of the reality by giving different answers to the
dilemmas and changes of social life. For this purpose, deconstructive method is applied and
it is seen that hegemonic opposition as a dominant and repressed term is provided by
‘rationalism’ as primary meta narrative and ‘irrationalism/love’ as secondary meta narrative.

Libertarian Understanding of Abortion and its Critics
Seval Yaman
Instructor Dr.
Ankara Sosyal Bilimler Universitesi, Hukumet Meydani No: 2 PK: 06030 Ulus, Altindag,
ANKARA, TURKEY
Abortion has become a very political and contentious issue all around the world. There are
very different political and moral as well as legal and theoretical standpoints on this issue.
This paper will discuss how libertarians view and conceptualize abortion since it presents
extremely relevant and difficult challenges for the core assumptions of this theory.
Self-ownership is the core and the first moral principle of libertarianism defined as one’s
ownership of his/her body including its parts, capacities, labour and by extension of
whatever acquired by these in a non-aggressive manner. As the second principle, nonaggression axiom states immorality of initiation of coercion, physical force, threats, or fraud
against other people to achieve personal, social or political goals. While these principles are
mostly discussed in relation to the idea of private property and the minimization or removal
of state intervention, they are perfectly applicable to the debates over abortion and could be
interpreted as conflicting with one another.
There are some libertarians who in Rothbardian line start with a very hard assumption that
the fetus or embryo is an individual having rights against the mainstream idea which does
not accept fetus as an individual at least until certain weeks. Rothbard stated that ""no being
has a right to live, unbidden, as a parasite within or upon some person's body” because
“fetus becomes a parasitic “invader” of the person, and the mother has the perfect right to
expel this invader from her domain.”
In this paper, I will try to contextualize and evaluate this argument and its critics. I will do
this using a libertarian framework and critically discussing terms such as self-ownership,
non-aggression, and natural rights used by Rothbard to justify the termination of pregnancy
regardless of fetal age.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the perception and attitudes to green economy of private
sector enterprises operating in Bursa, one of the most important industrial cities of Turkey.
UNEP defines a green economy “as one that results in improved human well-being and
social equity, while significantly reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities. In
its simplest expression, a green economy is low-carbon, resource efficient, and socially
inclusive. In a green economy, growth in income and employment are driven by public and
private investments that reduce carbon emissions and pollution, enhance energy and
resource efficiency, and prevent the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.” Our work
entails a survey form prepared in accordance with the elements appeared within the green
economy definition intended to explore perception and attitudes of the firms to green
economy. Aforementioned survey had been sent via mail to miscellaneous firms of various
scale and sector operating in 8 organized industrial districts within the period December

Cankiri Karatekin University, School of Health
In this research, the comparison of the academic self-esteem and interpersonal problem
solving skills of refugee and non-refugee preschoolers and examining the relation between
them is aimed.
The working group of the research consists of preschooler children in the nursery schools
who are refugees (20 children) and non-refugees (20 children) at the ages of 5-6, totalling 40
children. The data were gathered by “ General Information Form”, “ Interpersonal Problem
Solving Scale” developed by Özdil (2008) and “Academic Self-Esteem Scale” adapted into
Turkish by Cevher (2004). Shapiro-Wilk, t, Mann-Whitney U tests and Pearson Correlation
Analysis were used in the analysis of the data.
The 65% of the refugee children are at the age of six and half of them are girls and 60% of
the non-refugee children are at the age of five and half of them are girls. As a result of the
analysis, there is no significant statistical difference between the academic self-esteem of
the refugee (X=70,7±15,8) and non-refugee (X=72,9±21,9) children (t(38)=-,364, p>0,05). It is
determined that the constructive problem solving skills of the non-refugee children are
statistically significantly higher (U=120, p<0,05). There is no significant difference between
the destructive problem solving behaviours of the children (U=154,5, p>0,05). When the
mean ranks are examined, it is found that the non-refugee children (22,78) demonstrated
more destructive problem solving behaviours than the refugee children (18,22). It is seen
that there is a medium level, positive and significant relation (r=0,582, p=0,000) between the
academic self-esteem and constructive problem solving skills and there is a medium-level,
negative and significant relation between the academic self-esteem and destructive problem
solving behaviours (r=-0,381, p=0,015) of the children. It is thought that interventions which
will develop self-concept and provide solving the problems in a constructive way are
required and important for the preschool children who are at risk.

Ideologization of Ecology or Ecologization of Ideologies: A Case Study on
Ideological Articulation of Ecofeminism
Mehmet Demir, Nese Senel, Emrah Inalpolat
Kafkas Universitesi Iktisadi ve Idari Bilimler Fakultesi Merkez/KARS
Due to their need to support and expand their discourses, movements or ideologies like
feminism tend to get articulated to such super structures as socialism, Marxism or ecology.
Additionally, in order to extend their ideological circles and empower their potency of
action, the superstructures could get articulated into more narrow-scoped infrastructures. In
this study, these articulations will be discussed through the theory of ecofeminism, which is
mainly formed by bridging ecology and feminism. Ecofeminism is defined as a critical theory
that functions as a bridge between the disciplines of feminism and ecology/ ecocriticism and
the theory articulates both of these ideologies.
Essentially, ecofeminism is a radical literary theory and a political movement based on
ecology and to some it is a sub-branch of ecocriticism yet to some others it is a sub-branch
of feminism which proclaims that the subjugation of the females and the exploitation of
nature are all interrelated stratums conducted by a prevailing masculine mindset; thus, this
radical ecological criticism necessitates the analyses of these interconnected oppressions.
According to the ecofeminist understanding, the patriarchy exerts and maintains its power
and domination by making use of authoritative power structures that are based on dualisms
like human/nature, men/women, nature/culture. Thus, ecofeminists attempt to destroy all
the established dualities and they disseminate ecologically informed societies where
equality and liberation are maintained for all genders. In order to destroy all these
established dualities, ecofeminists make use of several ideological superstructures as well as
various infrastructures and narratives. Within the context of articulation of ideologies, in
addition to getting articulated into such ideological superstructures as feminism and
ecology, ecofeminism is also exposed to several infra-articulations and infra-divergences
within itself. In this study, the ideological articulation of infra- and super-structures will be
studied within the context of ecofeminism as the case study.

Turkısh Cınema in the Light of Socıal Change: The Case of Lutfi Akad's
"Mıgratıon Trılogy"

PhD Student
Department of Radio, Television and Cinema, University of Erciyes, Kayseri, Turkey
Cinema has always been an interesting field of art. Plato put forth the “Cave Metaphor” in
the ancient Greek. “Cave Metaphor” describes peoples’ desire to recognize other people and
cultures. In the same sense, cinema provides us the chance to learn about different cultures.
Modern cinema emerged in the 19th century. The first films were in the form of documents
representing images. Cinema was seen as a means of amusement in its initial stages, but it
evolved into a simulation of social life along with the development of advanced technology
and social changes encountered throughout the 20th century. It also took over a social
function along with the political and economical changes that took place after the 1950’s.
The concept of immigration became a matter of concern in the Turkish cinema in the
aftermath of industrialization during the 1950’s. There was an influence of “Social Reality
Movement” emerging in the 1960’s in the selection of these topics. Lütfi Akad’s films called
“Gelin, Düğün and Diyet”, also known as “the Migration Trilogy”, cultivate the dilemma
between the rural and the modern over the concept of family. These films give accounts of
migration, modernization, cultural changes and syndication. The study analyzes the
representation of social change in cinema in “Migration Trilogy”. The study also analyzes
the content of these films in the light of social problems specific to this era. The data from
the content analysis is also subjected to an interpretive analysis.

Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) As a Cultural Practice: Is a cultural right or a
violation of human rights?

Dr.
Anadolu Üniversitesi, İktisat Fakültesi, Kamu Yönetimi Bölümü
Despite it is considered as violence against women by United Nations, the practice of female
genital mutilation (FGM) is still performed in many parts of the world.
FGM defenders regard FGM as a cultural practice.They recognise such an application as a
right ıf a woman has consent. In fact, FGM defenders ignore the role of culture, the role of
gender. They neglect the norms that society imposes because if a person is taught to behave
in a particular way, it is difficult to behave differently.
On the other hand, the opponents regard FGM as a practice which violates the human rights
and quite a torture for the women.
The source of the problem is that the concept of human rights and cultural rights are not
clear in our minds. We do not have a obvious definiton about human rights, cultural rights
and their limits.
In this paper it is going to be disscussed the fact of “Female Genital Mutilation” which is a
violation of human rights apply to girls at the ages between infancy and age 15; or in other
words it is going to be disscussed the fact of “Female Genital Mutilation” which is a cultural
practice of girls whom experienced at the ages between infancy and age 15.
FGM is going to be examined in the context of human rights, cultural rights and gender.

Kadir Canoz, Omer Bakan
Selcuk University, Faculty of Communication, Konya / TURKEY
Sponsorship is one of the activities of companies which is used to achieve their target
audiences, socialize with them and introduce themselves. Sponsorship which provides
mutual commercial benefits both for sponsors and sponsored organizations is held in the
areas of sport, culture, arts, social, adventure, trip, programme and events. In recent years,
companies which operate in the oil sector often attract attention with their sponsorship
activities by having media coverage. However there are few scientific studies about their
sponsorship activities. Therefore it is important to examine the characteristics of the oil
companies’ sponsorship activities.
For this aim, sponsorship activities of oil companies in the last four years were analyzed by
content analysis method by using their web pages and web-based information obtained from
Google search engine. Results of the study indicate that international companies made more
sponsorship activities than local companies. Results also indicate that maximum number of
sponsorship activities were done in sport area and the number of sponsorship activities
increased over the years.

Turkey
The objective of this study is to examine the relations of the life satisfaction, spontaneous
decision making, fear of negative evaluation and stress among a group of university
students. The study group consists of 500 participants who are students of public university.
Our study was based on voluntary participation. 51% of participants were male students and
66% of participants have the economic status as moderate. We used Structural Equation
Modeling for the data analysis. The results were X2/df=1.839; GFI=0.90; CFI=0.94;
RMSEA=0.04; SRMR=0.05. The goodness of fit provided evidence that the hypothesized
model was stable. All estimated path coefficients were significant. We found that the fear of
negative evaluation and the spontaneous decision making have a positive impact on the
stress and the stress has negative impact on the life satisfaction. The fear of negative
evaluation and the spontaneous decision making explained %17 of the variation in the
stress. The stress plays a mediating role for fear of negative evaluation and spontaneous
decision making style on the life satisfaction.

TEACHERS’ REMINISCENCES: PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS’ MEMORIES OF
THEIR TEACHERS
Nihan Koran, Neslihan Avcı
Department of Preschool Eduation,Cyprus International University, North Cyprus
The purpose of this research was to analyze childhood memories of their own teachers, by
3rd year undergraduate students, who were prospective teachers in the Department of Early
Childhood Education at a university in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, in the
2014-2015 academic year. In this context, answers were sought to questions relating to the
content of the prospective teachers’ memories and how these recollections of their teachers’
affected the prospective teachers. This is a qualitative research study, using narrative
analysis. The working group for the research comprised 33 volunteer prospective teachers,
who were 3rd year undergraduate students from the Department of Early Childhood
Education, during the 2014-2015 academic year When closed-ended questions were asked of
the prospective teachers they generally replied with memories from when they were 6 to 13
years of age and with recollections of their primary school teachers. When replies to the
open-ended questions were analyzed it was found that there were more negative memories
than positive ones and it was established that these negative recollections were generally an
indicator of emotional and physical abuse. It is understood that these recollections could
include instances of emotional abuse, discrimination , refusing to consider children as
individuals, insulting behavior and allowing other students to witness acts of violence.
Punishments, slapping, beating, throwing chalk, being forced to do something against their
will, were evaluated as instances of the physical abuse recalled by the prospective teachers.
The prospective teachers considered these negative memories to include outcomes, such as
losing their confidence and initiative, having negative feelings towards their teachers,
feeling worthless, having negative attitudes towards teachers, and being alienated from
school. The prospective teachers recalled fewer positive memories than negative ones.
Positive attitudes included, giving gifts to the students, treating them with compassion and
kindness, giving them responsibility and maintaining contact with the children. The
prospective teachers indicated that positive effects, such as having fond memories of a
teacher and continuing to visit their teacher, led them to feel more confident and increased
self-belief in their own success.

The Effect of The Decision Making Style on Faith in Intuition
Mine Aydemir, Neşe Aral
Turkey
In this study we discussed the factors that affect the faith in intuition of university students.
For this purpose, we analyzed the relationship between faith in intuition and decision
making styles (rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and spontaneous). These styles were
expected to be accompanied by faith in intuition. We explored a multiple regression model
which explains these relationships. 330 students, who were studying at public university,
participated in the study. The study participants, approximately 56% were female and 19%
were last year students. A descriptive, self-reported questionnaire study was administered to
the participants. According to the empirical results, correlations between faith in intuition
and intuitive style were statistically significant (r = 0.53, p< 0.05). The avoidant style was
related to faith in intuition as predicted (β=-0.113; p<0.05). And also, both the spontaneous
style (β=0.142; p<0.05) and intuitive style (β=0.484; p<0.05) was associated with faith in
intuition. We have found that thirty percent of the variation in the faith in intuition could be
explained by the explanatory variables that rational, intuitive, dependent, avoidant, and
spontaneous styles (R2=0.30; p<0.05).

Accounting and Finance, Uludag University, Turkey
The timeliness of information release can affect the level of uncertainty associated with
decisions based on the reported information; thus, the timeliness of financial statements is
considerably important. Audit report lag (ARL) can be defined as the period between a
company’s financial year end and the audit report date and is influenced by a number of
factors. Most of the recent literature has focused on the antecedent factors affecting ARL.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of business strategy on ARL in longitudinal
research and, in this way, to enhance our understanding of the factors of ARL. Because of
the characteristics of different strategy types, it is expected that auditing processes will be
different for different strategy types. For this purpose primarily cluster analysis is used to
determine strategy types, and panel data analysis is used to test the hypothesis. The findings
of prior studies related to ARL antecedence, such as the size, leverage, liquidity, profitability
of companies, number of subsidiaries and reportable segments, auditor opinion, auditor
type, auditor change, corporate governance index and industry of the company, are also
included in the analysis of this study as control variables.

European identity was formulated by developing relations with other communities in the
historical process and varying values. In this historical process the main factor of European
identity was an Islam, but confrontation of religions was always dangerous. In this context
does religion an actually belief of conscience or is it still a main factor to define “other” in
Europe?,
After starting 11 September 2001 and still ongoing discussion of the clash of
civilizations such as the phenomenon in today's environment, the existence of Muslim and
European identity should not be missed is a historic opportunity. At this stage Turkey and
Turks examination of Europe especially for Western side becomes a big important. If this
examination is passed successfully, new beginning for humanity will be possible; different
civilizations conflicted and had an interaction, they will complete lacks of each other then
tend towards to new approach. At this moment European Union is a unique platform for
assembling two different cultures, if Christianity and Muslim are combined in a same
community with tolerance, common life with different aims and values which are fixed with
multicultural concepts, this will be positive impact on all

Historical and cultural textures of cities, social, economic, political, etc. structures changing
in the process of urban development create an urban identity. Nowadays the negative effects
of unplanned-developing urbanization result in the loss of cultural identity and continuity.
Within this scope, the importance of urban corridors came to light for regenerating the
cultural identity and continuity of urban areas.
The area between the urban square within the territory of Trabzon and the areas around
Ortahisar was selected as the research area. First of all, the open and green areas of this
region were evaluated so as to constitute a cultural, historical and social corridor, and it was
aimed to enable Trabzon to gain these features appropriate for today’s urban sense. In
accordance with these aims, two routes between the areas selected as the research area were
shown on the map and introduced to 62 subjects. Using the technique of visitor employed
photography in the research, each visitor was given a camera and asked to photograph the
places that took their attentions from cultural, historical and social aspects and where they
spent most of their time on the route.
Therefore, it was defined which one of these two routes would be evaluated and developed
as an urban corridor in terms of historical, cultural and social aspects. Thereafter, the
findings obtained by subjects on the route on which the urban corridor was planned to be
constituted, were charted on the map. Finally, an urban corridor solution was revealed for a
more perceptible, preferable and functional understanding, by doing a planning on the map
in order to put forward historical, cultural and social areas that were important to the city
but not perceived by the visitors.

The most significant component shaping the communicative behaviours, eating and
drinking, clothing and consuming habits of societies/individuals is the culture in which they
live and the system of values feeding the culture. Advertisements which become an
indispensable part of daily life and which are important communication and marketing
instruments between producers and consumers are like mirrors that reflect the society
which it has arisen from or refer to the values of that society. Also defined as a cultural text
due to this characteristics, advertisements use the language, images, values and myths of
the target group. In this context, using religion which is one of the basic components of
culture and traditional components, either directly or associatively, is seen as the most
commonly applied method in the promotion and marketing of products. Such
advertisements, especially broadcast during the aid of Ramadan in Turkey and other Islamic
countries, are seen to appeal to consumers at all times as independent of special days, as
well as they exist on special days, such as New Year’s Eve, Thanksgiving and Easter Days in
Western countries.
In this study, how religious and traditional cultural components are used, what types of
signs are benefitted, how the meaning is formed, and how produced messages are
communicated in German and Turkish advertising texts which are chosen as sampling will
be investigated. In the study ,where verbal and audio-visual signs will be assessed, how
much the approaches such as “advertisements aim at selling not only products, but also
social values and ideals” correspond to reality within context of advertisements studied is
among the subjects to be discussed.

Business Administration , Uludag University, Turkey
2008 Global Financial Crisis which is considered the worst financial crisis since the Great
Depression of the 1930s also has affected organizations in Turkey mostly in 2008 and 2009
and has created strong situations for companies to thrive. Most of the organizations take a
lean stance and try to compete effectively on a low cost basis during crisis time. It is argued
that cost cutting strategies like downsizing be necessary to accomplish immediate
performance improvements, they may be not sufficient for long term success. In last global
crisis, recent surveys indicated that 79 percent of all companies have cut costs in response to
the global economic crisis but only 53 percent of executives think that doing so has helped
their organizations weather it. Corporate Anorexia as a managerial metaphor, described
organizations that engage in excessive cost cutting measures such as extreme downsizing
and it is regarded as organizationally dysfunctional, obsessive behavior. It is assumed that
organizations are more likely to show anorexic behavior during crisis time. Thus the aim of
this study is to investigate the anorexic behavior of organizations before (2006-2007) during
(2008-2009) and after the crisis 2010-2014) and found out the effect of anorexic behavior on
organizational performance. To determine extreme cost cutting of organizations; marketing
and R&D expenses and number of employees will be collected from the financial statements
of organizations listed on Borsa İstanbul for each year between 2006 and 2014. Results will
be assessed for each industry separately.

The expansion of commercially use of the internet due to the facilitation in all areas of our
lives has changed the usual idea of shopping. Consumers can easily buy the products they
want by entering the shopping site without any limit of time and space. This means that
consumers and producers meet without agents; and consumers reach the services and
products at lower costs without being tired. Although the history of internet shopping is new
in Turkey, the number of internet shoppers has reached to 10 million. This corresponds to
%28 of internet users. In this paper, consumers' reasons for purchasing from shopping sites
have been examined in the framework of technology acceptance model. The factors affecting
online shopping are being tried to put forth through this model. There are people who are

Television news not only reports an event and provides information about it but also has
become a product that is prepared after going through certain stages of a production
process. An attempt was made to identify the “Ideology Building Strategies”, which is an
important part of this construct and diverts news contents from objectivity, and “Way of
Expression and Style”, which emerges as a result of it, in connection with two different
events, which were the subject matters of this study. In this framework, to represent Turkish
televisions, TRT 1, ATV, FOX TV and NTV were chosen and CNN and BBC channels were
chosen to represent the world televisions. The news programs broadcast on those channels
between January 7th and 14th 2015 covering “Charlie Hebdo” and the news programs
covering the “3 Muslim Youths Murdered in the USA” broadcast between February 11th and
19th 2015 were investigated used the content analysis method in terms of “Ideology
Building Strategies” and “Way of Expression and Style”. The study shows that ideology
building strategies significantly differentiate according to case and channels. So that BBC
and CNN TV Channels do not present “Charlie Hebdo” news strategy of legitimation while
they more prefer styles of unification and decomposition. Additionally domestic channels
frequently use legitimation and decomposition ideology building strategies. Differently from
“Charlie Hebdo” news, analysis also exhibit that CNN and BBC channels frequently use
legitimation and unification strategies on “3 Muslim Youths Murdered in the USA”. On the

Department of English Language and Literature, Kafkas University, Kars, Turkey
Sociolinguistic studies indicate social factors, linguistic relations and social changes. Today,
most of the studies on speech acts have focused on gender, styles, slang uses and standard
and dialectic uses. However, in Turkish context, a limited number of studies have examined
the social semantic changes related to context and meaning. In this study, a corpus has been
formed by examining frequently used refusal and compliment speech acts that are used in
communication with babies and children in Kars region and that change according to the
purpose or to the listener. Data of the study were obtained from face-to-face interviews and
a discourse completion test (consisting of 24 items) that was applied to 130 parents who
have a child that attends either primary or secondary school and who live in the villages
where local authentic culture is intense. A discourse analysis was made in accordance with
the data obtained from the test and factors such as proximity in communication, distance,
gender and politeness were investigated. It is anticipated that this study might be a guide for
the teacher-parent-student orientation for kindergarten and primary school teachers that
will serve in the region. The recognition of the styles used in the communication among
mother-father-child/infant
in
Kars
region
might
eliminate
prejudices
and
misunderstandings. Thus, findings of the study may allow kindergarten and primary school
teachers form real meanings in their parent-student-teacher perception styles. Furthermore,
as this article focuses on communication techniques/styles that parents living with regional
culture direct to their children according to age, gender, behaviour and the context of
interaction, teachers can facilitate from the discourse analysis detailed here to refine their
interactions with students and to improve communication with them.

Economics & Industrial Relations Post Code: 16059 Gorukle Campus-Nilufer, Bursa / Turkey
Labour courts are specialized courts that the settlement of individual, collective and social
security disputes between workers, employers and the government. Until 1971, labour courts
in Turkey consisted of representatives of employers and workers, two lay judges, and one
professional judge who had obtained a university degree in law and had passed the
judicature exam and had completed court practice. Today, the labour courts are composed of
one professional judge. In the Turkish judicial system, professional judges are appointed to
different specialized courts and this constitutes an obstacle to specialization. Labour courts
in Germany and France consist of the participation of lay judges. In Germany, a professional
labour judge would begin his career as a labour judge and during all of his judicial business
life he would work as a labour judge. The vast majority of labour disputes are resolved in
mediation in Germany and France but mediation in labour disputes is not applied
successfully in Turkey. In Germany also is found a specialized Supreme Federal Labour Court
to appeal labour disputes. The study focuses on three proposals. The first proposal with
constitutional amendments (which will not harm and guarantee the independence of
professional judges and the courts) lay judges should be included again in the labour courts.
The second proposal is labour judges should be an expert in labour law. If they start their
careers as a labour judge until retirement they must work in same profession. The last
proposal is that labour courts should be organized separately and should have special
Supreme Labour Court.

The Approach to Global Security Problems in Schools’ Emergency Plans
Emine Sarı, Deniz Koçoğlu
Department of Public Health Nursing, Selcuk University Health Science Faculty,Turkey
Schools are commonly seen as safe environments where millions of children continue the
socialization that begins in their family environment. However, situations such as natural
disasters, rising violence in schools, terrorist attacks and flu epidemics negatively affect
school safety, which shows that it is imperative for schools to be prepared for these dangers
(COSH 2008). It is a prerequisite for the maintenance of educational activities in schools
that school security be provided and that students feel safe (Pişkin etal., 2011). Students are
not experienced with emergency procedures and may be hard to direct in these situations. If
there are not sufficient emergency training programs for students, school administrations,
and the school building is not prepared, injuries and damage may be worse than expected
(DSE-Assam, 2011). Current global terrorist attacks are another reason to develop safety
awareness in children and design emergency plans for schools. In the U.S., schools are
provided with the specifics about what to do in case of a bomb alert, yet this is not a topic of
agenda in many countries. This presentation was prepared to take note this issue and
present an applicable model for school emergency planning. As in all plans for extraordinary
dangers, these plans for the danger of terror or bombing should include: determining risks
and, if possible, preventing them, applying first aid and evacuation procedures, building
effective communication with authorities, and determining and making the necessary steps
for the school to resume its regular operation as soon as possible (Özmen etal., 2015).

demolished as private channels were established one by one thus forming a mixed television
broadcasting market. This can be described as the most important milestone in the history
of television broadcasting in Turkey given the content of television programmes was
substantially changed. The emergence of theme-channels and digital platforms within the
historical process were also important breaking points in terms of television broadcasting.
In this sense, the study aims to reveal the course of television broadcasting in Turkey for the
last 20 years providing answers to some questions like what kinds of programmes are
viewed, what kind of programmes are fore grounded and creating a detailed picture of the
changes in the broadcasting approach of television channels. In this study, the television
broadcasts of TRT 1, Kanal D, Star TV, Show TV and ATV in 9 different periods between
1995-2015 will be compared with each other according to the types of programmes they
broadcast more, along with evaluations on the reasons for the changes observed in different
periods. In conclusion, a comprehensive chart of broadcasting will be formed regarding the

this crisis. The Austro-Hungarian State annexed Bosnia, which they acquired with Berlin
Agreement signed in 1878, with the power they gained from the negotiations with Russia on
October 6. The announcement of II. Constitutionalist Period by Ottoman Empire and the
worries regarding the new administration may take Bosnia and Herzegovina under their
control were efficient in the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bulgaria declared its
independence unilaterally one day before the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by
benefiting from the turmoil in the country.The importance of press for informing the
Ottoman Empire citizens about the annexation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the declaration
of independence by Bulgaria and the boycott towards Austria is undeniable. The boycott
practice, which was announced to public through newspapers running under the structure of
the Party of Union and Progress, found support through press and spread to Anatolia with
this means. Meanwhile, humor press produced funny realities and used its power of protest
and demolition and informed the people about the boycott. In this study, which has
qualitative history research character, evaluations are made related with the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina, the declaration of independence by Bulgaria and boycott towards
Austria through cartoons published on Dalkavuk, Davul, Kalem and Boşboğaz ile Güllabi,

As a measure of development, energy has a priority in economic literature. However, both
economic and social costs caused by traditionally energy sources have led to questioned the
importance of this resources. In addition to this, some problems such as pollution and
dependence on foreign energy bring about new researches instead of existing energy
sources. Alternative and nuclear energy sources, which are named as “clean energy”, are
expected to take the place of the old method. However, there are many factors affecting the
use of new energy sources such as energy prices, energy production, energy dependence,
economic growth, trade openness, and the use of carbon dioxide. Besides, development
levels of countries influence significantly the degree of interaction between these factors.
In the present study, firstly alternative and nuclear energy and the determinants of this
energy use will be discussed in the theoretical context and then the required empirical tests
will be applied for Balkan countries-Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Montenegro, Kosovo, Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Turkey and Greece. Panel Data
Method is preferred for analysis, which covers a period between the years of 1997-2011.

As the globalisation of education accelerates, there is a growing need to develop an
understanding of the factors that influence student learning within the context of
accounting education.
This paper examines the perceptions of first-year accunting students as they commence
their study of accounting at University of Akdeniz and University of Kahramanmaraş Sütçü
İmam. It explores a range of factors which impact on students’ learning: their motives for
entering higher education, their rationale for selecting an accounting programme, their
preparedness for further study and their expectations. The study also explores the influence
of these antecedent variables on academic performance in the first accounting module. The
data were collected using the MEPU Questionnaire (Motives, Expectations and Preparedness
for University) which was developed by Byrne and Flood (2005 and 2007) by implementing to
students in Antalya and Kahramanmaraş. Frequencies of demographic questions and means
and Standard deviations for the statements are performed. Mann Whitney U tests are used
whether there are significant differences between students’ gender or school and their
motives, expectation, preparedness and academic performances. According to the results,
almost the half of the students are interested in a career in accounting. Significant gender
differences and school differences were identified between motives for entering higher
education, expectation, preparedness and academic performances.

What makes a good marriage? Factors contributing to marital quality among
divorcees and married people in BiH
Selvira Draganovic
Assistant Professor
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Psychology program, International University of
Sarajevo, BiH
Love and close relationships are of extreme importance to each and every human being. To
love and being loved back is one of the basic emotional needs. People expect that love and
marriage will bring them great happiness (Bird i Mellville, 1994) thus, many are in a search
of eternal love happiness and satisfaction. Research indicates that good or quality marriage
and family rather than marriage and family in general serve as a foundation of good mental
and physical health, are sources of good social support (Old and Schwartz, 2010) and are
reflection of good life quality in general. Although love is frequently pre condition in one's
decision to marry, good/quality marriage does not come with the words „I do“ neither the
marriage survives on its own. Whilst social and personality psychologists partition love into
simple features Sternberg (1986), colors (Lee, 1988), and equations (Zajonc, 1968), good and
quality marriage does not depend on love solely, but other, subjective and objective factors,
which compose marital quality and stability, which are differently measured and explained.
Depending on approach, marital quality is explained with different theories and can be
measured in three ways: as satisfaction (subjective feeling of happiness and joy which
partners experience with one another) as mutual adjustment of spouses (at different
domains of married life like: communication, sexual behavior, decision making) and marital
relationship assessment (synthesis of the first two approaches in which partners,
independently, assess general marital quality and quality of a series of single dimensions.
Theory of social exchange, investment model and equality theory, theory of investment and
distribution of responsibility, attachment and behavioral theory are the most known
theories which explain marital satisfaction and quality. On a sample of 366 participants (199
divorcees and 167 married), with an open ended question „what is necessary for
good/successful marriage, we explored participant’s perception of “good marriage” and got
following answers: understanding, (divorcees 46%, married 59.2%) as key factor, then love
(divorcees 37.1%, married 43.1%), respect (divorcees 28.6%, married 28.7%) trust (divorcees
17%, married 17.9%), tolerance(divorcees 5%, married 17.3%), communication skills
(divorcees 15%, married 15.5%). Enlisted answers fit into theories of marital quality and
satisfaction.

Because the obesity that begin during adolescents is a risk factor for adult obesity the early
diagnosis and treatment in an early stage is very important. The purpose of current
descriptive study is to determine the Body Mass Index (BMI) of High school students and
examine its relationship with socio-demographic and nutritional characteristics. The study
group is 530 high school students in Turkey. Data collected by reseachers with a
questiaonaire. Of the students 34,6% underweight and 29,3% overweight/obese. 92, 5 %
consume processed food 79,4 % not eats three meals a day (mostly breakfast (65,6%) left
out). Overweight/obese is prevelant among senior students (33,0%) and underweight is
prevelant among senior students (46,7%). Sex, socioeconomic and demoghraphic
characteristics and also having education about nutrition, eating processed food and skiping
the meals are not statistically important for BMI, But the students who eat processed foods
between class break (45,5%) and for the reason having no time for meal during school
(38,1%) are more obese and those eat processed foods for the reason that they like and
prefer are (39,3%) more underweight.
As a result, the prevelance of obestiy among students are high as compared with Turkey and
World, but also the prevelance of underweight are high is noteworthy. Eating processed
foods between class break, and having no time for meal during school are related with BMI
(overweight/obesity) and enjoying and prefering processed foods is also related with BMI
(underweight) as statistically.

PhD Student, Assoc. Prof. Dr.
Ondokuz Mayıs University, Department of Elementary Education, Samsun
Mathematics education is one of the most beneficial educations we ever receive in our lives.
Therefore, a great amount of importance is attached to mathematics education. In order to
fruitfully carry out mathematics education, improvind mathematical thinking skills of
students is of high significance. It is required to place emphasis on improving mathematical
reasoning skills for a fruitful mathematics education. Mathematical reasoning skills could be
considered a process of correlating new situations and revealing the unknown based upon
previously known situation. Developing such skills is important for the mathematics
education students receive.
The objective of the study is to determine the mathematical reasoning levels of 7th grade
secondary school students. This research has been conducted during the first semester of
the academic year of 2015-2016. The study group consists of 91 students studying at a
secondary school in the province of Samsun. The case study, which is one of the qualitative
research methods, has been employed as the method of this research. This method has been
chosen so as to clearly reveal the situations which already exist. The obtained data has been
analyzed through content analysis. In order to calculate the content validity of the study,
the formula developed by Miles & Huberman (1994) has been used.
Three problems developed by Erdem (2015) in his doctoral thesis, which is named as the
Effect of Enriched Learning Environment on Mathematical Reasoning and Attitude, have
been used in this study. The problems applied have been evaluated through using the
gradual rating scale of Marzano (2000). The retrieved findings suggest that students have
tried to achieve the fastest solution and clearly express the solution process. However, it has
been found out that some students could solve the problem, yet could not clearly explain
their mathematical reasoning process. Moreover, a part of the students has been able to
determine the strategy for solving the problem, but has not been able to find the solution to
the problem.

MATHEMATICS EDUCATION AND REASONING SKILL
Esen Ersoy, Belgin Bal İncebacak
Assistant Professor, Res. Asst.
Ondokuz Mayıs University, Department of Elementary Education, Samsun
Reasoning is a person's ability to use the knowledge in their head after rationally filtering it.
The reasoning skill, which involves the ability to think, is a mental phenomenon. The
conception of reasoning can be defined as obtaining new facts through correlating among
existing phenomenon. A person could deliver a decision regarding a new situation by
associating an existing phenomenon to another. When students improve their reasoning
skill; their ability to solve non-routine problems, with which they face for the first time in
their lives, could also improve. Thereby, it is also possible to easily overcome a danger by
rationally reasoning, so as to live a healthy life.
The objective of the study is to determine the reasoning levels of 5th grade secondary school
students. This research has been conducted during the first semester of the academic year of
2015-2016. The study group consists of 51 students studying at a public school in the
province of Samsun. The method of the study is case study. The reason why case study has
been chosen as the method is because this research aims at providing insight into the
situation which already exists. The papers handed by students have been analyzed through
content analysis. In order to ensure the content validity for the qualitative study, the
formula developed by Miles & Huberman (1994) has been used.
The problem called Going to the Movies from the Chapter 1 of normal units, which is named
Problem Solving Questions from PISA (Program for International Student Assessments)
(2015), as the data collection tool for the study. The problem called Going to the Movies
consists of 2 questions. The problems applied have been evaluated according to the
reasoning stages of NCTM (2000). The retrieved findings suggest that students have realized
that reasoning is important while solving the problem. Furthermore, they have tried to solve
problem through making deductions from the problems. It has also been observed that in all
stages of problems, discussions and results have been solved through revision.

This paper questions what it means to “remember” a battle which happened almost 627
years ago. The Battle of Kosovo occurred between Ottoman and a coalition of Serb,
Bulgarian, Albanian, Bosnian and Wallachian Orthodox Christian forces on Kosovo Plain on
June 15, 1389. Historical darkness regarding what happened on the battle field allowed for
appearance of competing historical accounts of the Battle in Serbian and Turkish
historiographies. This work, questioning the significance of the battle for the
aforementioned historiographies, will focus on various instances through which the Battle
of Kosovo has been raised to the attention of the public, in other words, the battle was
collectively remembered. Taking for granted the political motivations behind the urge to
“remind”, this work will also analyze the varying contexts within which this particular event
has been commemorated, in other words, collectively remembered.

Thomas Aquinas (1224/6 - 1274), one of the greatest Thirteenth Century -even of the Middle
Age- philosopher, interested especially in topics like metaphysics, philosophy, philosophy of
religion, political theology and ethics. The theme of this manuscript is the thoughts of that
extremely important philosopher about human freedom. He has internalized the
philosophies of Greek philosophers like Plato and Aristotle on the one hand and drew
attention by his deeply sophisticated knowledge about Christianity on the other hand. Thus,
his ideas about freedom are important especially today when the concept of freedom has
become an extremely important value. Moreover, when one considers that the Aquinas’s
thoughts represent the official view of Catholic Church, he/she will appreciate the
importance of these thoughts and ideas well. Aquinas’s thought about freedom keeps its
importance and actuality even today. He traces the topic in the context of concepts like
‘God’s knowledge’, ‘intellect’, (free) ‘will’ (voluntas) and the ‘area of action’. For him
freedom is consisted of “free act” and a free act should have at least three presuppositions:
Firstly, a field of action in which more than one course of action is objectively possible;
secondly, an intellect that is able to work out more than one course of action; and finally, a
will that moves itself.

According to Islamic philosophy, Allah created the entire universe (existence) with the aim
of being known. Allah, having eternal excellence, created the entire universe utmost perfect
as well. For Nursi, science (funun) essentially points out that perfection, too. And Allah
created the human beings with the aim of being known and being introduced to others by
them. Thus, Hz. Adem who was created as first human was a prophet at the same time.
The “Knowing Allah and obeying Him” principle means acting relevant to all His most
beautiful names by which He manage the universe, realizing the same excellence for all
humanity and finally meeting his/her Creator in the other world. Naming the period of the
Latest Prophet (Hz. Muhammed) as “Asr-ı Saadet” (century of happiness) has located in the
history of humanity as the concrete evidence of that knowing and obeying.
At the time when human beings used their will against the “Knowing Allah and obeying
Him” principle trusting and depending on their own reason and power, they suffered from
wars, famine, misery and tyranny, which is contrary to routine order of the universe.
In the same way, the Western Civilization which exclude the revelation and employ power
centered materialistic worldview, caused to tremendous tragedies like two World Wars. By
the end of Cold War it become appear that West Civilization had used concepts like equality,
liberty, democracy and human rights in order to manipulating the masses. That tremendous
lie collapsed entirely with the recent times’ experiences.
A century ago, Said Nursi stated that the Western Civilization will collapse inevitably and
right-centered Islamic Civilization (against power-centered Western Civilization) will bring
justice and peace to humanity again. Thus, (for him) being the voice of silence majorities,
Turkey will be the leader of new Islamic Civilization’s reawakening, rebuilding and
revitalization process who advocates the common values of humanity against all the World.

POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION PRACTICES TOWARDS WOMEN IN TURKISH
SOCIAL INSURANCE LAW: WOMEN-FRIENDLY SOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEM

Department of Labour Economics & Industrial Relations, Uludag University, Bursa / Turkey
Discrimination in working life is one of the basic problems of social policy at nationally and
internationally. It is the act of treating a person differently —negatively or positively—
because of that person's race, class, religion, sexual orientation/gender or any other group to
which that person belongs, rather than assessing individual needs and merits. Positive
discrimination towards women means that the act of giving advantage to them in society
that are often treated unfairly because of their sex/race/religion etc. According to the ILO,
social insurances in industrial society were regulated by only men and taken account of their
needs. After World War-II developing the service sector and increasing participation of
women in the workforce (especially in a-typical works) made essential new regulations
towards women in social insurance systems.
Social insured person is defined gender-neutrally in Turkish Social Insurance Law no 5510.
But there are some special provisions for the benefit of women “called positive
discrimination”, like the possibility of early retirement. But, the unique positive
discrimination regulation towards women in Turkish Social Insurance System is girls qualify
orphan’s pensions without any age limit. In addition to this women may receive pensions’
widows and orphans’ pensions from both the husband (as a widow) and parents (as a girl).
Looking these practices, we can call “Turkish SIS is a women-friendly system”.
Social Security Reform (2008) also has brought new regulations may called as positive
discriminations for the benefit of women such as maternity borrowing; early retirement for
women with disabled children; maternity and parental leaves; work-life (motherhood)

Competence is defined like the „global or specific subjective perception (feeling,
expectation, belief) of one person about one's ability to realize apparent behaviours and
show results which are expected“ (Bezinović, 1988, pg 53).
In this study, we examined whether school achievement and giftedness are contributing to
the self-perception of personal competence of elementary school children. We used matched
participants sampling of gifted and average students with control variables of gender, age,
academic achievement, observed motivation for school achievement, observed socioeconomic status. N=62 elementary school students. Instruments used were SocioDemographic Questionnaire and Self-Perception Profile for Children by Susan Harter.
Results imply that all participants percieve themselves as the most competent in Behavioral
Competence (M=20.32), than School Competence (M=20.26), Global Self-Worth (M=19.26),
Social Competence (M=18.03), Physical Competence (M=17.45) and at least in Athletic
Competence (M=16.16).
Subscales of self-perception are positively intercorrelated, which means that students with
higher perception in one aspect have high self-perception in other aspects as well, or that
different aspects of self-perception belong to one general one (rho from 0.354 to 0.767).
When it comes to the differences between gifted and average children we found significant
differences in subscale of School Competence (Mann-Whitney U = 340.500, sig= 0.047)
where gifted children percieve themselves as more competent than non-gifted students.
When gender differences are observed as independent variable, there are statistically
significant differences on the Social Competence scale, (Mann-Whitney U =52.500
sig=0.007), and Physical Appearance Scale (Mann-Whitney U =66.000, sig=0.036. where
gifted boys percieve themselves as more competent than gifted girls.

Bilateral relations are changing towards to multidimensional and continuous relationships
by the globalization process in the varying nature of intercountry relations. The public
diplomacy has an increasing importance in communication strategies of the countries with
its aspects of functionality, collaboration and multi-gains in the world where the traditional
diplomatic relations give its place to the multidimensional and long-term relations. Foreign
aids, which has an important place especially in this communication management process
developed by a country for the citizens of other countries, reflects a process in which the
gains of the parties are diversified and extended over a long-time. Foreign aids constituting
an important dimension of the communication strategy of the countries can be evaluated in
a very diverse range such as emergency, economic, social, cultural, educational, technical,
and agricultural and health. It is seen that Africa has an important place within the scope of
the public diplomacy of Turkey at the point of communicating with different geographies
and creating relations on the axis of the values and interests. Firstly, a theoretical basis has
been provided about the foreign aids in the context of public diplomacy in the study.
Afterwards, the secondary data concerning the subject on the axis of interstate connection

Education is a life-long process. The musical education which is included in the extensive
formation of education takes a highly significant part in social, cognitive, sensual,
kinesthetic and language development of any individual. Also being a way of expression,
music can be one of the most efficient methods in expressing himself/herself of the
individual. Music is known to have an important function in human education because of its
effects on the human and close relations with the other scientific fields. A musical education
which is arranged based on the individual differences of the children enable them develop
their skills in this field. The goal of musical education in the pre-school period is to assist
the emotional, cognitive, language and psychomotor development of the children, to
provide them express himself/herself freely with such musical elements as songs and
rhythms and meet with the musical culture. All these require the teachers who have taken a
comprehensive musical education. The course contents of the course musical education at
the undergraduate programs of pre-school education at the education faculties in Turkey
and the application of musical education by the pre-school teachers constitute the main
problem of this study. Accordingly, the course contents of the course musical education
conducted at the Department of Pre-school Education at Gazi Education Faculty of Gazi
University will be examined thoroughly, and it will be interviewed with those graduated
from the department mentioned above and working for at least two years in the profession,
and then the semi-structured interview forms will be assessed in a scientific approach.

Department of Mathematical Engineering, Yildiz Technical University, Esenler, Istanbul.
Game theory which is studying the cases involving mutual struggle with mathematical
methods is a branch of applied mathematics.
In this study dealt with the events of the conquest of Istanbul which has great importance in
world history, mathematical modelling using strategies involving some important details
during the conquest is aimed. Byzantine and Ottoman Empire intended to achieve their
objectives (the aim is to conquere Constantinople for the Ottoman Empire and to protect the
walls for the the Byzantine Empire). There are strategies they used against each other to
ensure the highest return.
This study is the creation of mathematical modelling of the problems dealt with conquest
event. It is assumed that there is a finite number of strategies of these opponents. A twoperson matrix game is discussed and the mathematical modelling of the game characterized
with a matrix has been developed by determining strategies to be used in the games.
Discussed strategies are determined from the books and other documents from various
libraries, from the information given by experts in the field of historians. The numeric value
of the strategies are obtained according to the views from the expert historians.

Dr.
European Union Research Center, Ankara University,Cebeci,Ankara,Turkey.
Since 2013, Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) of European Union (EU) has been in a period
of change in accordance with the Europe 2020 Strategy. Especially with the rearrangement
of CAP tools after the 2003 Reform, signs of the radical transformation have started to
become apparent and paved the way for the “new CAP”. Accordingly, with more efficient
and simpler methods designed for EU with 28 members, the process of “new CAP” will be
questioned based on how the expectations of consumers and producers met, thus confidence
built, during the current cycle. This period which is very important in reshaping the future of
CAP is being discussed in the context of “Legitimacy of CAP”. At this stage, different views
of economically and socially different countries, especially liberal England who is at the
edge of decision for exit from the EU, conservative France and relatively new member
Poland will be discussed. Aim of this study is to deliver the tendencies of CAP after 2013.
Regarding this issue, European Union’s benefits and global equilibrium will be examined to
assess to what extend the needs and expectations of the EU citizens have been taken into
account. Moreover, CAP’s future scenarios and diversion tendencies will be debated within
the context of Legitimacy of CAP.

A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS ON THE USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PUBLIC
RELATIONS OF ONLINE SHOPPING SITES
EMEL TANYERİ MAZICI, PINAR GÜNER KOÇAK, HASAN ALTİNCİK
Erciyes Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi, Kayseri, Türkiye
Intended purposes of social media differ in today’s world and it has become a corporate
communication tool for corporations. Social media, which is evaluated as a public relations
course, carries great importance in terms of reaching internal and external shareholders.
The presence of corporations in social media paves the way for their target audience to reach
them without any filter and provides the possibility of a two-way symmetric
communication. When being evaluated in terms of rivals, it is seen that the corporations
that don’t engage in social media activities are more inadequate and defenseless to
criticisms, requests and needs arriving from this course compared to those who use social
media.
The developments in information technologies have made online shopping a part of daily
life in terms of free-time constraint, accessibility to product and services of
corporations/enterprises, campaigns conducted by these corporations, etc. The presence of
these enterprises on social media is vital so that they may gain the trust of their target
audience and announce the information/campaigns from the first hand. According to 2015
data, the number of online shopping sites engaging in e-commerce activities in Turkey is
around 22 thousand and when it is considered in terms of the ones with higher awareness, it
is seen that social media and the advertisements given to social media are the important
reasons for this high awareness. In this regard, the question comes up as how rival
companies with high-awareness that operate in the same sector use social media and what
type of perception they create in target audience. The aim of this study is to conduct a field
research towards NevşehirHacıbektaşVeli University students regarding public relations use
of the online shopping sites on social media with a qualitative analysis related to social
media use of defined online shopping sites (hepsiburada.com, N11.com, kitapyurdu, D&R)
and to determine the appearance of consistency on the activities of these enterprises and
the perception of target audience with the findings. Post-modern marketing tools and
literature data of social media public relations shall be presented in the first part of this
study, while findings shall be given place in the second part, then derived results and
recommendations shall be evaluated in the last part.

One of those situations where it is compulsory to demand the bankruptcy of a company is
the fact that company has more liabilities than assets.
However, individuals who are entitled to manage or represent the company or one of the
creditors may request for the postponement of bankruptcy by submitting a realisable
recovery project that improve the company’s financial situation to the court. If the court
finds the project serious and credible, the court decides the postponement of bankruptcy.
On the postponement decision, a new execution proceeding shall not be commenced except
for labour credits and existing execution proceedings stop.

If the court rejects the request for the postpone of bankruptcy or determines that recovery is
unrealisable at the end of postponement period, the court decides adjudication of
bankruptcy of the company.

Historical past of Turkish painting in the western sense encompasses the last two centuries
only. The process of military mandatory art classes coming into the curriculum of
Mühendishane [engineering school] and the inauguration of Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi [School
of Fine Arts] in the last decades of the Ottoman Empire constitute the first phases of the
history of Turkish art of painting. The Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi founded in 1883 is the most
important stage in fine arts education in Turkey for providing classes in painting, sculpture
and architecture in the western sense. Important graduates of this school guided the Turkish
painting in the coming decades. Osman Asaf, an artist of life-long dedication to art, is of
importance for being one of the first generation graduates of this school. He was born in
Sarajevo in 1868 and moved to Istanbul with his family at a young age when his father
passed away. He spent almost all his life in Istanbul and his interest in art paved the way for
him to study at the Sanayi-i Nefise Mektebi, from where he graduated in 1889. He worked as
a teacher due to economic reasons but he never lost his connection with art. Osman Asaf
was one of the founders of Osmanlı Ressamlar Cemiyeti [Association of Ottoman Artists]
(1909), the first association bringing together the Turkish artists and he was also the
responsible director of the journal of the association which started to be published in 1911.
His works are in oil, gouache and water colours and he depicted landscapes of Istanbul and
its streets. The common feature of his many paintings is the expression style with vivid
colour harmony in a calm and tranquil atmosphere. This research aims to determine the
place in Turkish art of Osman Asaf, who has been the scope of only few studies, taking into
consideration his life, works, style, and similarities to and differences from his
contemporaneous artists.

Are Conspiracy Theories Deconstruction of Constructed World Model of
Liberalism in International Relations?
Gokhan Capar, Onur Ayda
Department of Political Science and International Relations, Kafkas University, Kars/Turkey
Although conspiracy theories in international relations appear to be unreal and imaginative,
in reality, the only weakness of them is their inapplicability to scientific criteria. However,
conspiracy theories are not completely falsifiable. Actually, at this point, owing to the cover
over the separation of scientific and unscientific realities, statements to fulfill the gap
between the image and the reality in international relations are stigmatized as conspiracy
theories, and so, they’re put aside. The international relations literature and academies do
not/cannot focus thoroughly on these statements labeled as unscientific. In fact, any fiction
having explanatory power (able to combine parts) in the face of events that we live through
might be successful in representing the picture of the reality. However, most discourses
against the discourses used by super powers to justify their own foreign policies are excluded
as they are felt to be conspiracy theories. Indeed, conspiracy theories might provide a
different perspective for the reality so long as they’re supported by data.
As is known, social-political events are formulated as a narrattion and given
meaning/constructed. For instance, after Cold War, especially in and around Middle East,
attempts to build up a new liberal world were formulated by liberal dissertations like “the
end of history”, democratic peace and picturized. This perspective was included in scientific
literature and liberal discourses were used as an instrument to cover the reality. The
transformation of this image into the reality meant military interventions and security
problems. In this context, can conspiracy theories considered as a counter statement taking
the cover hiding the gap between the image and the reality? Can conspiracy theories
deconstruct the image given to the world? Within this scope, by emphasizing the concept
that science doesn’t examine things that needs to be, but it examines things that exist, the
aim of the study is to discuss liberalism as a scientific being that picturizes an ideal world in
international literature and to prove international security problems that it emerges in
practice.

Education, Davutpasa Campus, Esenler, Istanbul, Turkey
In the present study, three different activities with concrete manipulatives to develop
elementary school students’ spatial abilities were presented for pilot study. The volume and
surface area of three dimensional figures were calculated in two activities. Rectangular
prism, cube and square prism were constituted with different colour mathematical cubes by
eighth grade students. In the other activity, the properties of three dimensional geometric
shapes were analyzed. The number of edges, faces and vertices of prisms and pyramids were
determined in the third activity. Case study was determined as method of the study.
Worksheets were prepared for each activity to collect quantitative data. Besides, students’
views regarding to the applicability of the activities were collected with interview form
prepared by researchers. The interview form consists of six open-ended questions. Data
obtained from the interview form were evaluated qualitatively and content analysis was
used. Eighteen eight grade students from a public school in İstanbul consisted of the study
group of the study. Findings obtained from the interview forms were analyzed seperately for
each activity. Findings revealed that students had difficulty in understanding of three
dimensional shapes’ properties, and some calculations about them. The participants also
stated that they didn’t come across such activities in their mathematics courses.

QUANTITATIVE APPROACH
Murat Sayılı, Bilge Gözener
In this study, the factors affecting Turkey’s hazelnut exportation are analyzed by the usage
of 21 years of data collected through 1992-2012 period. Cobb Douglas production function is
used in the study. Also, in the first formed model, supply and demand models are formed
and analyzed to define the statistically most meaningful consumption and production
variables in explaining the hazelnut exportation. The determination coefficient (R2) in the
hazelnut exportation, hazelnut supply and hazelnut demand equations varies between 0.482
and 0.979. According to the research findings, there is a decreasing returns to scale in
hazelnut exportation model while there is an increasing returns to scale in hazelnut supply
and demand models. In Turkey’s hazelnut exportation model; hazelnut world prices, shelled
hazelnut production amount, domestic hazelnut kernel consumption amount and almond
exportation amount are statistically meaningful. In Turkey’s hazelnut supply model;
hazelnut market price and walnut-hazelnut price parity; in Turkey’s hazelnut demand
model, almond-hazelnut price parity, shelled hazelnut production and walnut price
variables are determined to be statistically meaningful.

644 citizens passed away on a devastating earthquake happened in Van city on October 23,
2011. Relatives of died victims asked for compensation for lack of support.
Compensation for lack of support, a name established in doctrine and practice, aims to a get
compensation from the entity that caused the death to people who the deceased one were
supporting while alive.
Relatives of the deceased who mostly died due to staying under debris of buildings sue
builder or owners of buildings according to TDC article 69. However, usufructary right
owners and residence right owners have also been added as possible responsible persons to
TDC article 69. As a result, two new sides have been added to counteract damage in
compansation for lack of support.
The new arrangement in TDC reflects intensified state of flawless responsibility. Moreover,
bringing a rescue proof has not been predicted for responsible persons. In this sense,
builder, owner, usufructary right owners or residence right owners will be responsible of
compensation for lack of support if the deceased ones were supporting some people while
alive, or if there is a strong possibility that they would support those people in future.
Owner is responsible from defects or lackness of maintenance in building, while usufructary
right owners and residence right owners will be responsible of lackness of maintenance in
building. Another important point to note here is the owner will be responsible with those
people in all conditions.
Earthquake is not considered force majeure in practice. Nevertheless, August 17, 1999
earthquake which had 7.4 magnitude has also not been considered force majeure. Van local
district has also not considered earthquake as force majeure.
Along these line, we will evaluate legal disputes around this issue and their implications for
future legal cases in this presentation.

Life span of human being is increasing as a result of medical developments in all over the
world as well as in our country and we observe an increase in old population worldwide.
Doctors encounter impact of increasing old population as an increase in dementia cases.
Dementia is a clinical condition characterized with disorders in behaviour and high cerebral
function, a continiously advancing and frequently irreversable neuronal degeneration in
brain.
Essentially, existance of a decrease in ability to tackle needs of daily life, a decay in
perception, judgement, questioning, producing solutions to problems encountered in life,
social behaviour and appropriate emotional responces, increasing isolation, disability of
differentiating between right and wrong, memory loss in form of forgetting starting from
near memory to far memory are noticable changes in various cognitive functions.
If we consider that dementia is a congnitive function disorder, it is inevitable to observe that
it affects differentiating ability of a person. It is necessary to get a restriction order
according to TPC article 405 -if necessary conditions are satisfied- in order to protect the
dementia patient from legal responsibility. One can assign a legal advisor or a truestee as
well as a guardian to a restricted dementia patient.
One frequently encounters a situation in which most of the physicians who are being asked
opinions for evaluation of restriction order are hesitant on what kind of evaluation should
be performed and they are insufficiently informed about concepts of guardian, trustee, and
legal advisor assignments.
Purpose of this presentation is to help physicians to make them understand these three
concepts better, to protect dementia patients better and to prevent legal suffering of both
patients and doctors.

Students are expected to display the desired behaviour within the context of educational
activities. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the evaluation to determine how much the
students have learned at the end of the educational activities. Achievement test is given as a
one of the assessment tools to evaluate the progress of the students. Through the
assessment tools, the educators can have an idea about the academic achievement of the
students. Thus, it is essential to develop valid and reliable achievement tools for a healthy
evaluation.
In this study, a multiple-choice achievement test was developed in line with the ratioproportion subject involved in the mathematic curriculum of the seventh graders. Also, the
categories Atılgan (2015) introduced is taken into consideration for the test. The aim behind
developing the achievement test is to assess the effectiveness of education and reveal the
students’ success. Thus, it is essential to include the critical behaviour in the scope of the
test and the table of specifications was prepared for this purpose. In line with this table, 42
test items are written regarding the categories of Bloom Taxonomy, remembering,
understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating and creating. 10 assistant professors and 3
math teachers have expressed their opinions about these 42 test items. Regarding their
opinions, the items were revised. After the revision, the items were turned to test. The items
were not ordered from easy to difficult and the items which evaluate the same objects were
not ordered successively. Also, the instructions for the items were added and the font size
suitable for the level of the students was decided. 380 eighth graders’ students solved this
test. The data of the test was analyzed through Finesse packet programme and
distinctiveness and difficulty index were calculated for each item. 11 items whose
distinctiveness index below 0.30 were excluded from the test. Since there are enough items
to evaluate the defined objects, 6 items were also omitted. As a result, final test was
prepared consisted of 4 items for remembering, 6 items for understanding, 9 items for
applying 3 items for analyzing, 1 item for evaluating and 2 items for creating categories.
As a result of obtained data, statistics of the achievement test was calculated. The mean of
the test is 11.36, standard deviation is 4.803, item distinctiveness is 0.406, item difficulty is
0.454 and K-20 reliability co-efficient is 0.803. As a conclusion, a reliable and valid
achievement test for the ratio-proportion subject is developed.

TRANSLATING POETRY IN THE LIGHT OF SEMIOTICS
Didem TUNA, Sunduz OZTURK KASAR

Galatasaray Lisesi Istiklal Cad No: 159 34430 Beyoglu ISTANBUL TURKEY
Among the literary genres, poetry is the one that resists translation the most. Creating a
new and innovative language that breaks the usual rules of the standard language with
brand-new uses and meanings is probably one of the most important goals of the poet.
Poetry challenges the translator to capture not only original images, exceptional symbolism,
and subjective connotations but also its musicality, rhythm, and measure. Faced with this
revolutionary use of language, the translator needs a guide so as not to get lost in the
labyrinths of the poetic universe. The universe of sound and meaning unique to each
language and the incompatibility of these languages with each other makes the duty of the
translator seem impossible. At this point, semiotics may function as a guide, opening up the
mysteries of the universe built by the poet and giving clues as to how it can be conveyed in
the target language. This allows us to suggest the cooperation of semiotics and translation
studies. From this perspective, we plan to present a case study that will exemplify this
cooperation. Our corpus consists of Shakespeare’s sonnet 130 and its Turkish and French
translations. This study will compare the translators’ creations to the original sonnet to see
the extent to which the balance of the original text’s meaning and form is preserved in the
translations and how skillfully and competently the signs that constitute the universe of
meaning are transmitted in the target languages.

By defining the mental health as “to love and to work” Freud highlighted the importance of
working for mental health. It is known that, apart from the contributions one gets from
working, adverse conditions in the work environment also affect the mental health of
individuals. Due to adverse effects of physical, environmental and psychological factors at
workplaces, in 2010, International Labor Organization has included mental illnesses as one
of occupational illnesses. Mining is a labor-intensive line of work. It is considered as having
the severest service conditions and among the most risky sectors in the whole world with
respect to work accidents and occupational illnesses. The most important problems
observed in underground mining are collapses, explosions and water flood incidents that
result in death and severe injury. Underground mine workers carry on a shift basis,
manpower based work in unfavorable environmental conditions. In addition to all these, the
workers are constantly face to face with life threatening incident risks like collapses, mine
gas explosions and water floods. Existence of life threatening factors puts the mental health
of the workers in this line of work, into a high-risk group. The mental health problems that
can be seen in mining line of work are psychotic disorders, mood disorders, anxiety
disorders, drug dependence and psychosomatic illnesses. Psychiatric nurses have roles like
development of mental health, training and consulting. For this reason, they have a very
important role in identification of the groups that posses mental health risks. These nurses
also, help in the planning of attempts to protect mental health. In this study, the working
conditions of mining sector, the effect of these conditions on the mental health of workers
and the role of psychiatry and mental health nurses in this field has been examined.

Factors affecting, and methods to improve, the language development of EAL
learners
Kevin Norley
Teacher
Department of ELT and Basic Skills, Bedford College, Cauldwell St, Bedford MK42 9AH
It is well known that common learning difficulties which EAL (English as an Additional
Language) adult learners experience, whatever their starting point, relate to the degree to
which the phonological system and grammatical structure of their own language differ from
the English language (mother tongue interference). However, such difficulties also need to
be considered in the context of the learners’ reasons and motivation for learning the English
language. In comparing and contrasting behaviourist and humanistic theories of language
learning, this paper considers how, in the context of an ever increasing and diverse
immigrant community, the influence of culture and social class impacts upon the learning
experiences of EAL learners. In focusing on some of the most common grammatical errors
made by a range of EAL learners, and the reasons for those errors, relating to the learners’
first language use, this paper argues that the delivery of language leaning should take place
within a culture of constant, and consistent, error correction of pronunciation and grammar,
not just to EAL learners, but to native speakers throughout the education system, as this
would provide a higher level of expectation, onto which the delivery of English language
learning can be directed. It outlines a method whereby through comparing and contrasting
commonly confused tenses in pairs, more effective learning of the ‘target language’ can be
delivered, and further considers the degree to which the sharing of cultural assumptions and
knowledge about social systems and rituals can further assist EAL learners in the learning
process.

An examination of the relationship between L2 Motivational Self System and
L2 Learning in Turkish EFL context
Cevdet Yılmaz
Associate Professor
Department of English Language Teaching, Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Turkey
Research on motivation to learn a second / foreign language has received considerable
attention in the last decade. Various studies have found that motivation is very strongly
related to achievement in language learning (Gardner, 1972; Oxford, 1980). Current studies
devoted to motivational theories on L2 learning emphasized the central role of the ‘selves’
in motivating L2 learners. Recently, Dörnyei ( 2009) has proposed a new L2 motivation
theory called the L2 motivational self system. Drawing on Dörnyei’s (2009) L2 motivational
self system as the main theoretical framework, the present study aims to examine the L2
motivational self system beliefs of university English majors in Turkish context. The focus of
the study is on the five motivational constructs as identified by Dörnyei including “ideal L2
self”, “ought-to L2 self”, “criterion measures”, “attitudes toward learning English” and
“integtativeness”. To collect data, a questionnaire of 30 items consisting of these
dimensions was administered to 160 EFL pre-service teachers. Data then were analysed
using both descriptive statistics and correlational analysis conducted to investigate the
relationship between the dimensions of L2 self system and L2 learning. The findings suggest
the importance of students’ potential to perceive themselves as ideal L2 speakers in
language learning. The results of correlations proved a strong relationship between the
“ideal L2 self” and “criterion measures” which is referred to as the learners’ intended efforts
to learn English. These findings have far-reachig implications for EFL pre-service teachers,
given that they can improve their ideal L2 self in future teaching environments.

This study aims to examine students’ perception of intelligence and their goal orientation
and investigates the correlations between students’ perception of intelligence and their goal
orientation in Faculty of Education. The study uses correlational research design. The study
group consists of 1430 students who were attending in Faculty of Education. The study uses
“Implicit Theory of Intelligence Scale “which was adapted into Turkish by Beyaztaş and
Hymer (2015) in order to specify students’ perception of intelligence. The study also uses
“Goal Orientation Scale” which was adapted into Turkish by Beyaztaş and Kaptı (2016).
The analysis of the study includes descriptive statistics such as arithmetic average and
standard deviation values in order to specify students’ perception of intelligence and their
goal orientation. The multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) was run to test the
variations through students’ perception of intelligence and their goal orientation in terms of
students’ age, sex, class level, and major. One of the multi variable test statistics Wilk’s
Lambda statistics was used in order to determine whether there was a difference between
the group averages according to any dependent variables. The F statistic was used in order to
determine which dependent variables caused the difference between the groups. When
differences were found between the groups, Tamhane and LSD comparison tests were used
by controlling the equivalence of variances. Based on findings, results and conclusion will be
discussed.

Adaptation of Goal Orientation Scale through Faculty of Education in Turkey
Dilek ILHAN BEYAZTAS, Suzan Beyza KAPTI
Erzincan University, Faculty of Education, Erzincan/Turkey
This study aims to adapt “Goal Orientation Scale”, originally developed by Dweck (2000), in
order to measure students’ goal orientation in Turkey. The study follows the process that
was recommended by Hambleton and Patsula’s (1999) study. The scale was originally
developed with four items in order to specify students’ goal orientation. In the first three
items, a likert scale with six degree was developed to measure students’ opinion from
“strongly agree” to “strongly disagree”. The fourth item consists of two categories. The scale
consists of two dimensions which are “learning goal” (For me it is more important to learn
in class rather than receiving high grade) and “performance goal” (Even though I hate, I
prefer learning more rather than being the first in class).
The reliability and validity of “Goal Orientation” scale was tested with 524 students who
were attending Faculty of Education Department of Literacy, Primary Education, and
Mathematics in 2015-2016 term. CFA was run to examine structural validity of the scale.
CFA was structured in four item which were six degree likert type and reliable. The study
first examined if the CFA was suitable for implementation and CFA’s hypotheses support or
not. The fit indices calculated through CFA were found to be RMSEA= 0.00, CFI= 1, GFI= 1,
AGFI=1, and SRMR= 0.0044. It was observed that the χ2= 0.26 (sd=1) statistics were
significant (p<01) and it was calculated as χ2/ sd=0.26. The observed values show that the fit
indices is consistent. After CFA, the linguistic equivalence was calculated. The findings on
the linguistic equivalence indicated that the correlation between the items included in the
Turkish and the original form varied between .78 and .91.

Strategic Voting Behavior: A Systematic Review of Literature
Betul Aydogan Unal
Dr.
Department of International Relations, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey
In electoral behavior literature, if a voter casts its vote for a party other than its most
preferred in order to reach its favorable outcome is called strategic voting. Given its extent
in elections, strategic vote plays a critical role on election results. Regarding the scarcity of
an up to date systematic review on the methods to determine strategic voting behavior, this
study aims to fill this gap through systematic literature review based on rigorous criteria. By
examining pioneering studies in the field, the study specifically attempts to systematize the
existing literature, comparatively explore the efficiency of different research methods for
determining the size and direction of strategic voting, identify research gaps, and suggest
potential areas for future research. This study shows that survey designs and identifying
voting strategies from electoral data are the major methods used in the current review.
Systematic analyses of strategic voting frequently devise survey designs that are highly
costly to implement and low in representation. The less common approach in the literature
has been a focus on the election results data, however, current implementations within the
literature disregard the problem of ecological fallacy, thereby produce misleading findings.
The use of latest advances in ecological inference with the actual data from the election
results on a ballot box level offers better ways to narrow down the margin of error stemming
from secret voting despite its requisite for an enormous data collection.

School of Foreign Languages, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey
To evaluate communication skills of grade-4 midwifery students in a health sciences faculty.
Effective communication skills are so important for midwives to maintain fruitful
professional ties while working with healthy and ill people.
Materials and Method: Data of descriptive study were collected via questionnaire and
interviews with volunteer 68 (71.5%) grade-4 students (total: 95) between 1st and 23rd
March 2016. While variables including age, long-settled location, family type, perception of
economic condition and parents’ educational status were investigated, difficulties in social
contact, experiencing communication problems with patients and their relatives in clinical
applications, attending social activities at satisfactory level, choosing the profession
voluntarily and readiness for communication with patients before professional life were
asked to evaluate mutual communication skills in “Communication Skills Inventory”. Data
were assessed with average, standard deviation, percentage and t test in independent groups
(Independent- Samples T Test).
Results: Mean age was 22.62±1.43. Of participants, 57% were found to live in cities for a long
time, 69% to be from middle income families, only 7% and 44% of their mothers and fathers
to have high school and over degree, 94% to experience no communication challenges in
social life, and 13% to experience communication challenges with patients in clinical
settings. The most significant problem was with refugees with Syria and Iraq due language
difference.
Conclusions and Recommendations: Pre-graduation communication skills of grade-4
midwifery students are quite satisfactory, and this is good for candidate midwives on the
brink of professional life. Similar studies are recommendable to be performed in other fields
during pre-graduation period with larger samples.

RESULTS: The BDM scores were 36.58 ±10.01 for the patients and 30.25 ±9.65 for the patient
relatives. There is no statistically meaningful difference between BDM point averages of
patients who know the diagnosis and have enough information about the illness (p>0.05).
There is a statistically meaningful difference between the groups and BDM point averages
are higher for patient relatives who know the illness of their patients (p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: As a result of this study, it is seen that, both patients and their relatives face
a severe depression; being an in-patient or outpatient, knowing the Diagnosis of disease
having adequate knowledge does not effect the depression points; depression points are
higher for those patient relatives that know the identity of disease of their patients.

Trabzon, Turkey
The modernization efforts started in the final phases of Ottoman Era, become an official
modernization project with the establishment of Turkish Republic. Political and juridical
reforms made in the first stage, soon followed by economic and cultural modernization
goals. 80% of the population of Turkey was living in the rural areas during the early years of
the republic. In order to achieve goals of the Republic, modernization had to be expanded to
rural areas. Thus, to generate an interaction, institutions such as community centers and
rooms, village institutes and modern education schools were built all around the country. In
this sense, Village Institutes plays an important role, as a new educational organization and
a fundamental part of developing a new identity through institutions. The scope of Village
Institutes which employs a ‘Work in Education for Work’ slogan and ‘Hands on Learning’
methods was not only training instructors to teach the public how to read and write, but also
teaching them modern agricultural techniques. Thus, the village-teacher engagement would
contribute to the rural development. For this purpose, as a genuine educational and cultural
movement, Village Institutes project legislated in 1940 and 21 institutes had opened till
1948.
In this paper Besikduzu Village Institute, located in Trabzon, is studied as one of the
institutes. Institute served as a regional education center from various cities; Giresun, Ordu,
Gumushane, Rize, Hopa. The purpose of this study is to reveal the ideology, educational
policy, foundation, architectural characteristics of Besikduzu Village Institute, seen as one
of the Turkish Republic modernization symbol of Trabzon, and to evaluate its regional
contributions.

Involuntary, we have directed consuming as a result of increased production after the
industrial revolution. Even though we do not need, we believe that we need and live in a
symbolic satisfaction by consuming. Therefore, our consumption becomes continuity. The
concept of consumer society caused by increased consumption refers to the shopping
centers which increasing number in the city by the day.
From past to present, consumption processes and patterns are important in terms of urban
spaces in the urbanization process related to production. In this process shopping areas
which shown as a product of industrialization and modernization, increases the rate of
consumption on the other hand creates public spaces realized people's leisure activities
outside shopping.
In this study, firstly, consumption, consumption society concepts have been discussed and
process of emergence of the consumer society case has been examined. Secondly, the effects
on city development of shopping centers, extends to the present day starting from the
traditional markets and shopping culture, have been analyzed for the case Vialand mall
located in Istanbul. The result of this study, Vialand mall is a space larger scale compared to
other centers in the city; it is understood to have gathered the mixed publicity fiction,
bringing together the shopping, entertainment centers. Also Vialand mall offers a different
experience for users living in this area and other parts of the city with different architectural
decor while increasing the demand for visits that can be said to contribute to the fusion of

What determine the banks’ profitability? Evidence from Turkey
Narman Kuzucu, Serpil Kuzucu
Medipol University, School of Business, Kavacik, Beykoz, Istanbul, TR
Recently there has been a debate over bank profitability and performance after the collapse
of some US and European banks during the global financial crisis. In this study, we aim to
examine both the bank-specific determinants and macroeconomic factors which explain
bank profitability. We utilize a panel dataset of 19 commercial banks operating in Turkey
between 2004 and 2014. The dataset represents nearly all the deposit banks, and excludes
the investment banks. Our study generates two sets of results. The firm-level results show
how bank funding and portfolio structures affect profitability. While total assets and loans
to securities ratio are positively associated to return on equity, deposits to wholesale
funding ratio is negatively related to profitability. Equity and risk-weighted assets to total
assets ratios are found statistically insignificant. These results suggest that larger and retailoriented rather than securities-oriented banks are likely to be more profitable. However,
wholesale funding versus deposits is associated with higher returns. At macroeconomic
level, GDP growth and credit default swap (CDS) spreads which represent the market's
current perception of sovereign risk are negatively related to bank profitability, whereas
higher public debt, public deficit, current account deficit and interest rates are associated to
higher bank profits. Inflation is statistically insignificant in relation to bank profitability.
The results show that negative economic conditions except sovereign default risk may have
positive effects on bank profitability. The evidence from Turkey’s banks demonstrates that
unfavorable economic conditions may mean a good fortune for banks.

The upheaval in the working life created by the technology since the beginning of life until
today has aimed the creation and development of social welfare on the one hand and has
designated the threat perception for the human life and the working environment involved
in. While the occupational accidents and illnesses have becoming apparent social problems
due to the mechanisation process and various chemicals since the beginning of industrial
era until today, it necessitated some safety measures to be taken against these problems.
In the study, where in the historical process, the effects of the reflections of these
transformations, which have been experienced in the production process, on working
conditions and the re-design of these conditions are discussed; it is seen that working
conditions and the occupational health and safety applications, which are seen as the
transmission of these working conditions, have had repeated transformations both in the
global scale and Turkish case. The analysis of this process aims not only to scrutinize the
reflections of economic infrastructure on supersutructure in the historical process but also
to scrutinize how the current dominant fictive system, namely the neo-liberalism, has
designated this conceptual process with global and Turkish cases.

Being successful has become one of the most important issues for the society, parents and
other individuals interact with them and accomplishing it becomes one of the most
important goal. Reading, writing and basic abilities on mathematics are the most important
academic abilities that students have to be successful. The students who haven’t been
reached to these abilities, fail. One of the reason of being unsuccessful at school is being
with learning disability diagnosis. Even though the students with learning disability have
regular or high intelligence level, their academic success is lower than their peers because of
having problems during the learning process. It can be said that may not reading fluently
and reading mistakenly are the most common problems for children with learning
disabilities. The aim of this study is to execute the relation between socio demographic
features and reading strategies of children with learning disability. In this study the data of
socio demographic features collected by using “Demographic Information Form” and the
data of the level of reading strategies collected by using “Reading Strategies Met cognitive
Awareness Inventor” of which validity and reliability studies made by Ozturk (2012) . The
sample of the study is 50 students from 5,6,7 and 8 grades with learning disability in İzmir.

Department of special education, Dokuz Eylül University, İzmir, Turkey
Inclusive education, which leads children with special needs to get education with their
peers, aims to either have the inclusive educated student get appropriate social abilities and
so to be accepted by their peers or raise the academic success of them. Study results show
that one of the variables that make the inclusive education effective is the attitudes towards
inclusive education. Especially, it is seen that the attitudes of teachers and peers have a role
for inclusive educated students’ and social acceptance.
In our country for more than thirty years, inclusive education has been implemented. In
many studies that have been made on this process, it has been determined that children at
the primary grade aren’t preferred as a playmate by their peers are refused and acquired as a
low statue. The study results on teachers’ attitude shows that the teachers’ aren’t against to
this practice indeed, but they face may problems and they state that there are many defects.
In some studies it is stated that teacher’s attitudes towards students with special needs
affects peers attitudes towards them. This study has been made to investigate the
relationship between the teachers’ attitude towards inclusive education and peer acceptance
to determine some variables that affect these attitudes.
The study group composes of 30 teachers that work in a secondary school in İzmir and 140
students with regular developed at the range of 10-14 years. Teachers’ attitudes are gathered
by using “Attitude Scale Towards Disabled” which is developed by Yuker and Block (1986
and adopted in Turkish language by Ozyurek (2006), peer attitudes are gathered with “
Attitude Scale of Peer Towards Disabled Friends” which is developed by Cambra in 2002 and
the validity and reliability of scale made by Kargın and Baydık (2002).

Akdeniz Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fak. Ekonometri Bölümü ANTALYA
In Turkey, health sector has made significant progress with the Health Transformation
Program (HTP) which was put into effect in 2003. Health expenses which constitute one of
the important parameters of the health sector showed an increase parallel to the Gross
National Product within the scope of HTP reform process. Increase in the health expenses
requires effective use of sources of financing. In this study where out-of-pocket health
expenses contributing to the financing of health services were analyzed, the periods before
and after HTP were compared and the impacts of the reform policy were evaluated. In this
context, data of the household budget surveys for 2002 and 2012 carried out by the Turkish
Statistical Institute were used and factors determining the out-of-pocket health expenses
throughout Turkey and for urban and rural areas were examined. The relations between the
out-of-pocket health expenses of households and various variables including age, sex,
marital status, educational status, professional status of the head of the household, size and
income of the household, heating system used in the house and property type were analyzed
by Quantile Regression model. It is thought that the analysis results may lead the health
policies to be implemented for quality and sustainable heath services. There are only a
limited number of comparative studies covering both health expenses and Quantile
Regression model in the literature. This study will contribute to this limited literature.

Assistant Professor
Department of Art History, Faculty of Letters and Humanities, Mugla Sıtkı Kocman
University, 48000, Mugla
Tiles have been used both on the interiors and exteriors of Anatolian Turkish architecture as
a decorative element dependent on the architecture. Indoors, the tiles were preferred on the
mihrabs, sarcophagus, wall surfaces, tympana of windows and doors, arch spandrels,
buttress piers, elephant legs, and pendentives. Outside, they are usually found on the walls
of the latecomers’ area, on the tympana of courtyard windows, and minarets. These
examples feature usually underglaze and monochrome glazed tiles. Furthermore,
monochrome glazed tiles inlaid in stone blocks are attested outdoors, usually on the portals,
arch spandrels, window tympana, window frames, minaret body or facades to a certain
extent within a program. Stones inlaid with tiles decoration is for the first time studied in
detail here, constituting the scope of this paper, and it is attested quite seldom on
architecture.
This implementation was first realized in the Anatolian Seljuk period, and continued under
the Saruhan, Menteshe and Karaman Emirates; its more developed examples are gradually
seen in the Ottoman architecture. Examples are found on the facades at Gök Madrasa in
Tokat (1270) in the Anatolian Seljuk period; at Great Mosque in Manisa (1368) of Saruhan
Emirate; at İlyas Bey Mosque in Balat (1404) of Menteshe Emirate; at Ibrahim Bey Mosque in
Karaman (1432) of Karaman Emirate; Green Mosque and Madrasa in Bursa (1421), Koza Han
in Bursa (1491), Mahmut Pasha Tomb in Istanbul (1474) and Pasha Bey Tomb in Skopje
(early or mid-fifteenth century) of the Ottoman period. Usually turquoise, seldom cobalt
blue glazed tiles are inlaid in the stone and usually squares, triangles and stars as well as
palmettes are seen as motifs.
This paper will present the stones inlaid with tile decoration, which is attested only on
limited number of monuments both in Anatolia and the Balkans from the 13th to the 15th
century, with regards to their places on the architecture, their forms and composition
features as well as with comparisons in detail with examples inlaid on gypsum and brick.

The Archie Bunker Effect: Why Don't We Confront Prejudice?
Keenan Jenkins, Paschal Sheeran
Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, 235 E. Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
Confronting prejudice is an effective way of reducing prejudice (e.g., Czopp et al., 2006).
However, when given the opportunity to do so, people rarely confront prejudice (e.g.,
Dickter & Newton, 2013; Kawakami et al., 2009). The current study examined three possible
explanations for failing to confront observed prejudice: 1) Is it impolite to confront? 2) Is
the perpetrator not seen as prejudiced? 3) Do we think the perpetrator cannot change his
attitudes? One hundred ninety White participants were randomly assigned to read a scenario
in which either a young White person (23-years old) or an older White person (74-years old)
makes a prejudiced comment. Participants who read about the older person’s prejudiced
comments reported being less likely to confront, t (156) = 2.66, p = .01. Further, those who
read about the older person’s prejudiced comments were more likely to believe that
confronting was a violation of politeness norms, less likely to rate the perpetrator as
prejudiced, and less likely to believe that prejudiced attitudes are malleable; all ts > 2.55, all
ps < .05. However, when all three aforementioned explanations were tested as simultaneous
mediators, only participants’ judgment of politeness norms significantly mediated the effect
of perpetrator age on likelihood to confront prejudice (indirect effect: b = -0.24, 95% CI: 0.48, -0.10). These results suggest that people may fail to confront prejudice because they
believe it is impolite to confront, despite the potential benefits of confronting (e.g.,
decreased prejudice).

The Effect of Goal and Implementation Intentions on Confronting Prejudice
Keenan Jenkins, Paschal Sheeran
Department of Psychology & Neuroscience, 235 E. Cameron Avenue, Chapel Hill, NC 27599
Background: Past research has shown that confronting racial prejudice is an effective way to
curtail future acts of prejudice (e.g., Czopp et al., 2006). However, research also suggests
that people often fail to confront observed prejudice when given the opportunity (e.g.,
Dickter & Newton, 2013). The current study examined the effect of goal intentions and
implementation intentions on confronting prejudice. Implementation intentions are if-then
plans that link goal intentions (e.g., “I intend to confront prejudice!”) to a critical situation
and a response that will help to achieve that goal (e.g., “If I hear someone make a prejudiced
remark, then I will calmly confront by asking, ‘What did you mean by that?’”).
Methods: Ninety-five White participants completed two sessions. In session 1, participants
completed a survey in which they received either a goal intention (n = 32) to confront
prejudice, an implementation intention (n = 29) to confront prejudice, or no intention (n =
34). In session 2, participants were told they were in a “group-decision making study.”
During the study, a White confederate made a prejudiced remark about a Black confederate
who was not in the room. Participants’ responses were videotaped.
Results: Confronting was more common in the goal intention condition (43.8%) than in the
implementation intention condition (24.1%) or control condition (20.5%); this difference
was marginally significant, χ2 (2)= 4.83, n = 95, p = .08. These results suggest that forming
and internalizing the goal to confront prejudice makes confrontation more likely.

Dokuz Eylul University Buca Faculty of Education
The theory of mind is defined as the understanding of others’ beliefs, emotions and
thoughts. The false belief tests which are used to determine the level of theory of mind,
based on commenting what others’ think. To create such a cause-result relationship is
important to describe the complex circumstances which exist natural social interaction.
Gifted individuals have high ability to manage novelty as a new task or a new situation and
have superior cognitive skills. At the same time giftedness includes transforming a new task
to an automatic task by intellectual ability that provides coping with new tasks and
situations. As the literature the relationship between theory of mind and giftedness needs to
be examined in terms of both views: social and cognitive fields. The aim of this study is to
determine the theory of mind levels of gifted individuals and to examine the difference
between gifted and regular developed pupils.
The sample of the study is 22 gifted and 16 regular developed students from 6,7,8th grades.
To collect the data “Strange Stories Test” and “Eye Test” are used from advanced level test
of theory of mind tests. The “Strange Stories Test” which developed by Happe (1994) consist
28 short stories which aim measure the ability of metalizing. The “Eye Test” which is
developed by Baron-Cohen (1995) consist 28 eye images that aim to make experimental
choose the emotion expression from the given options.
The data of the study has a normal distribution, for this reason T-Test is used in the
analysis. As the results of the analysis there is no significant difference between the levels of
theory of mind of gifted and regular developed individuals.

The Metaphor Perceptions of Pre-service Teachers for “Gifted Children”
Filiz KARADAĞ, Vesile YILDIZ DEMİRTAŞ, Halil ÖZTÜRK
Metaphors have become an important communication tool for cases that definitions are
inadequate and the expression should be strengthened. Metaphors enable to see a definite
concept or phenomenon as a different concept or phenomenon by transferring individuals’
conscious perception style into another perception style. So, while the defining and
commenting process of concepts are getting easy, how the concepts are perceived comes
into surface. Gifted or giftedness concept changed many name in our country in recent
years; prior to 2006 it is mentioned as “high intelligence” , but by that year it is called in the
title of “giftedness” and by 2013 it has been expressed as “special talent” . In our country,
gifted children is defined as showing high performance comparing to their peers in terms of
intelligence, creativity, arts, sports, leadership capacity and special academic field. It has
been seen that it is important to learn how the pr-service teachers perceive the concept of
“gifted child” which changes in terms of scope and name. Because of that, in our study it is
aimed to introduce concepts of “gifted child” to pre-service teachers by means of
metaphors.
In this study phenomenological research method from qualitative research methods is used.
In 2015-2016 Educational Year Spring Semester in Dokuz Eylül University pre-service
teachers asked for completing the sentence of “Gifted child is like…, because …”.In order to
reveal their cognitive images about giftedness. The developed metaphors by the participants
has been realized with 5 phases ; coding and eliminating stage, sample metaphor image
compile stage, category developing stage, validity and reliability stage and for qualitative
data analyzing to transfer the data to SPSS program stage.
The implementation of the research has been realized but data analysis is still continued.

The Metaphor Perceptions of Special Education Department Pre-service
Teachers for “Special Education Teaching”
Sıla DOĞMAZ, Vesile YILDIZ DEMİRTAŞ, Halil ÖZTÜRK
As the literature metaphor is defined as “expressing one concept as phenomenon according
to how he/she perceive it by using similes” or “to give another meaning to the word except
of its own meaning”. So, metaphors are modeling mechanism of how are individual express
himself and how he/she constructs his own world. For this reason, improving creative
thinking metaphors method is utilized for planning, developing education program, and
couriering to learn. Recently, most f the studies on different disciplines of social sciences are
about education. Besides that, while getting teachers and pre-service teachers define their
professional perceptions, metaphors are also utilized. Because metaphors provide teachers
and pr-service teachers to define their own professional perception, it also provides them to
change their thoughts about that issue. It has been observed that pre-service teachers of
Special Education Department has different professional perception, between the period of
starting to get undergraduate education and the period they get professional experience
prior to their gradation. Thus, in this study it is aimed to introduce concepts of “special
education teaching” to Special Education Department pre-service teachers by means of
metaphors.
In this study phenomenological research method from qualitative research methods is used.
In 2015-2016 Educational Year Spring Semester in Dokuz Eylül University 2 and 4 grades

There is an important between the academically success and cognitive abilities of student
with learning disabilities, and this difference continues to happen though the child has any
inability and has appropriate learning experience. One of the field that the children with
learning disabilities have problem is the ability of “solving problems”. Many cognitive
models have been created for problem solving process. One of these methods is the diagram
method which focuses on distinguishing the solving process into simple stages. In diagram
method, the students are required to determine what are the issued and what are asked and
what are the mathematical operations are for solving the problem. In our country, no study
about views of teacher who will provide education to the students with learning disabilities
on alternative methods for teaching mathematic. It has been observed that in order to put
forth the matters encountered and the offer solutions more studies should be operated. The
aim of the study is to define whether the diagram method is effective on students with
learning disabilities about verbal problem solving abilities for mathematic.
The study has been accomplished with semi-structured interview method. The study is
accomplished with 6 teachers who get training about utilizing diagram method and 22
students with learning disabilities and get education form teachers.
Semi- structured interview forms used to determine the efficiency of using diagram method
for solving problems. Teacher interview form consist of 9, student interview form consist 18
items. Research implementation has been done but the data analysis is still processed.

Assistant Professor
Department of Turkish Language and Literature, Bitlis Eren University, Bitlis, Turkey
Adventure of Westernization in Turkey has a long history. Changes/ Westernization in
social, political, cultural and economic fields reaches to an important point with the
Tanzimat. Society of Turkey enters a new period of civilization starting with the Tanzimat.
Westernization in the field of literature began with the Tanzimat literature and with Servet-i
Fünun literature reached its peak. During this period, successful examples of Western
literature types are produced. In particular, novel has gained a Western style. This literary
form novel has become both witness and pioneer of Westernization process. The most
obvious reflection of the Westernization process in the period novel takes place over the
phenomenon of woman. Women have become the object of westernization both in social life
and novels.
Mehmet Rauf is one of the prominent novelists of Servet-i Fünun literature. Rauf published
women's magazines Mehasin and Süs. In his works he often dealt with issues of love and
women. Sadness and pessimism are the common themes of the author and this coincides
with the general literary concept of Servet-i Fünun group. The author, in his works,
especially portrays romantic feelings, dreams, love and music. Love and music are raison
d’être of each other. Especially the piano is a symbol of both aesthetic sensitivity and
westernization.
The novel Genç Kız Kalbi (Heart of a Young Girl) of Mehmet Rauf was published in 1912. In
the novel themes such as phenomenon of Westernization, cultural differences and women's
rights are dealt with. Women's rights are one of the most important themes in the novel.
The fact that women don’t have equal rights with men in Turkey causes unjust treatment of
women and this is reflected as unacceptable situation. The focus of the novel Pervin is
spokesperson of the author. She is a young girl with ideas far ahead of his time on women's
rights. Her ideas and demands constitute an approach that shakes the grounds of sexoriented society. Throughout the novel Pervin claims women’s righst and never gives up.
Considering the values of that period this approach is valuable.

Associate Professor
Erciyes Üniversitesi, İlahiyat Fakültesi, 38 039 Kayseri, Turkey
Endowing money for the construction of a fountain and a water supply line to it was an act
of piety which played an important role in Ottoman life. Fountains were diverse, both as
regards their structures and their functions. Besides providing water which is one of the
most fundamental elements for the preservation of life and the maintenance of daily and
religious life, fountains were a source of good deed for the builders of these edifices. As built
forms fountains are significant in that they contribute much to our understanding about the
values, the political structure, the family relations, the art, and especially the otherworldly
views and expectations of the people who created them. Among other pious acts the
characteristic feature of fountains is the inscriptions they carry. Fountains represent a
cultural link between the Ottoman era and the modern Turkish society. In the beginning of
the 2000’s the emergence of new fountains in the urban landscape of many Turkish cities
recalled this link. Build on a sidewalk, in the courtyard of a school, in a cemetery or in a park
etc. and supplied with the water supply network of the municipality, these new fountains
seems to be reduced to a main function: providing salvation for the people. Based on a
fieldwork carried out in many Turkish cities, the aim of this paper is to analyze the
soteriological aspect of fountain construction in modern Turkish society and to present the
relations between fountains, their benefactors and their beliefs related to the afterlife and
how these beliefs reflate the social and familial relations of people. This survey will also
emphasize the vital role of water in enabling this system.

Destructive Deviance in Organizational Behavior

Hrasnička cesta 15, 71210 Ilidža, Sarajevo Bosnia and Herzegovina
Recently, the number of reported cases of unethical and deviant practices in organizations
have encouraged us to embark on further research into this field. Deviant behavior in the
workplace has been divided into two forms, that is, constructive and destructive deviant
behaviors. Constructive deviant behavior is seen as unethical behavior that draws positive
outcome, such as whistle-blowing. Destructive deviant behavior, on the other hand, is seen
as unethical behavior that draws negative outcome, such as deception and stealing. The
research problem of this peer-review article is to review the causes and effects of destructive
behavior in organizations. Social disintegration, loss of capital and human skills are some of
the recognized outcomes of destructive deviant behavior. For the methodology of this study
article, secondary sources of data were drawn from peer-review articles and literature. The
data (from books, internet publications, journal articles, and etc.) was analyzed to elicit
conclusion and offer recommendations for future studies. This research concludes that the
occurrence of deviant behavior imparts a chain of worrying negative outcome into the
workplace. The underlying effect is a reduction in the job performance of workers. Evidence
of these negative outcomes is eminent if management fails to establish the necessary policy
and procedure to curb the activators of this phenomena.

Communication Faculty, Erciyes University, Kayseri, Turkey
After civil war in Syria began in 2011, millions of Syrians have left their county because of
conflicts and poor conditions, and migrated to various countries, especially neighboring
countries. Turkey is one of these countries. According to data of United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), number of registered Syrian refugees in Turkey is 2
million 715 thousand 789 as of 3 March 2016. Only 272 thousand 439 Syrian refugees are
living in temporary protection centers that have been established in 10 provinces by
Republic of Turkey Prime Ministry Disaster and Emergency Management Authority (AFAD).
The other part of Syrian refugees are living in various provinces of Turkey. Some social,
cultural and economic problems are being experienced in the process of integration into
Turkey of Syrian refugees. In addition, Turkish people’s exclusionary and discriminatory
approach towards the Syrian refugees are exacerbating the existing problems. In the
formation and becoming prevalent of exclusionary and discriminatory attitudes towards the
Syrian refugees, the role of media is greater. Negative characterizations as ‘illegal, criminal,
thief, murderer’ about Syrian refugees on the media are becoming prevalent and reinforcing
prejudices and xenophobia in the public opinion. In this study, Turkish press’ racist and
xenophobic discourse about Syrian refugees in July-August 2014 period when ‘We don’t
want Syrian’ campaigns have been organized and Syrian refugees have been protested in
various provinces of Turkey will be analyzed.

A Psychoanalytic Approach To "Pity " in Literature
OZGUL SEZER
PhD Student
hacettepe üniversitesi alman dili ve edebiyatı bölümü ankara türkiye
The attitudes and behaviours faced by people with disability in a society are shaped by
cultural values acquired by that society. Pity is an emotion that plays always an important
role in dealing with those people. In this study, it is aimed primarily to compare this
emotion in two different literary books. The purpose of this comparison is to analyse the
differences and/or the similarities of "pity" depicted in Stefan Zweig's longest work of
fiction, Ungeduld des Herzens (1939), and Hasan Ali Toptaş's first novel Sonsuzluğa Nokta
(1993). The common points for these novels are both psychological novels that
comprehensively narrate the pity and have characters who can be called as disabled. Toptaş
describes the main character with disability as a person pitied by his wife and other people
while Zweig tries to write up his main character, the young lieutenant Anton Hofmiller, that
feels compassion for a paralytic girl, Fräulein Edith von Kekesfalva. The psychoanalytic
literary theory influenced by Sigmund Freud at the beginning of 20. century is applied to
interpret both literary works. It is tried through this theory to explain the characters as the
object of analysis and how the pith effects the characters and their behaviours and as a
result what this emotion leads to in these novels.

'Turkey's Foreign Agricultural Trade ın the Framework of Global Agricultural Trade
Liberalization'' In this paper,liberalization of agricultural trade will be analysed within the
context of the World Trade Organization in order to assess the results of the transformation
of the agricultural sector on foreign agricultural trade in developing countries including
Turkey. It is observed that the World Trade Organization's Agriculture Agreement will
consalidate Turkey's position as a net importing country in terms of agricultural foreign
trade in the medium and long term. Despite its natural competitive advantages and its
qualitative and quantitative production capasity to ensure food security,Turkey is still a net
importing country due to lack of production capacities and efficiency issues in agriculture.
Furthermore,Turkey's foreign trade policies also resulting in being a net importing country
should also be linked to its agricultural policies. In many developing countries,policies
focusing on liberalization could be in conflict with food security,interest of agricultural
producers and foreign trade targets.In an economic situation where the food demand is
rapidly growing,it is crucial to consider potential problems that could arise from setting
agricultural policies solely based on ınternational economic organizations' standart policy
requirements.

With each passing day, advancing technology, as the world increases its energy consumption
in Turkey and make it difficult to meet the need for energy. However; Our potential is
limited in the use of energy resources. Every time the growing energy needs in a rational and
to produce the optimum solution and evaluation of alternative energy sources for energy has
become inevitable. Solving unlimited energy needs through the use of limited resources is
not possible, it is necessary to assess the potential of alternative energy sources at an
optimum level. In this study, in terms of wind energy potential of alternative energy sources
provinces in Turkey it will be analyzed by cluster partition model with a mathematical
algorithm. Provinces of Turkey with the help of the data obtained as a result of the analysis
were presented to the use of optimal classification made in terms of wind energy potential.
For this purpose, meteorological data obtained from the General Directorate to determine
appropriate zones and regions to evaluate the wind power in the province in the light of
potential wind energy areas according to their level of importance to the data obtained from
the cluster compartment model will be made of the classification of the provinces. When we
consider the issue in terms of the results of the study will include further scientific studies
and made important findings in terms of the decisions will form the basis of entrepreneurs

It is seen that there are two basic ways to put out a new product in the historical
environment by approaching in a harmony (!) with and/or contrast (!) to the historical
environment. How to put out a new product by approaching in a harmony with the historical
environment? How to put out a new product by approaching contrast to the historical
environment? Is the former to adopt the data from the historical environment, while the
latter is reject them? Are these two approaches diametrically opposite? If one is there, other
is not? Could they exist together? If possible, how? In what rate? When two approaches exist
together, how the final status should be referred? … are discussed in this study. The topic is
handled through two examples in the literature.
Caixa Forum and Museum Der Culturen are two intentionally selected examples. These are,
at first glance, understood as two examples of design approaches which clearly articulate the
historical environments. When the selected examples are read in a more detail, it seems the
necessity to reconsider the design approaches for the historical environments.
In this study, two examples are tried to read by a deconstructive perspective. The study
questioning the historical environment design approaches is complemented by making deep
readings. The importance of recognizing the historical environment is emphasized once
again with this work. When putting out new products, taking into account the data from the
historical environment is an approach to facilitate the work in this area. However, the
classifications created by “design approaches for the historical environment” are seen not to
explain enough the practice.

the part of an important duty that should be the architect to consider in improving the
quality of life for disabled people. But yet in some cases, the needs of disabled people are
known when the buildings have been finished. Therefore, the architects are required to
afford more sensitivity to this issue related to designing process.
Development of empathy should be developed by the architects to obtain the right
architectural. As is common knowledge, the appropriate place in the process of developing
empathy in the overall designing is architectural school.
This paper is intended to tell about disclosure of sensibility of the students who are training
in architecture department, urban and regional planning and interior architecture for
disablement and build environment via survey. It is expected to show the results how
architecture students attach the disablement to their designs. In other words, the study is

competitive advantages for banks in the financial market whose nature was changed by
regulations. The main instruments of shadow banking system are hedge funds, money
market mutual funds, derivative instruments and repurchasing agreements markets. Shadow
banking, which is a bridge between commercial banks and investment banks, unregulated,
has had dominance in securitization market. Commercial banks found more funds with
shadow banking transactions and thus lend more credit than standard. Moreover, risk
pervades whole financial system instead of one institution by the instrument of shadow
banking As a result, banks had more activity/transaction volume and more profitability in
the financial market.
Shadow banking can be considered an actor of the 2008 crisis. Actually commercial banks
have used this situation. Due to shadow banking crises has deeped in 2008. International
markets have effected negatively. On the other hand shadow banking have many advantages
in banking system. It market funds and relaxes the source circulation and increase the
reserve currency in the market.
The aim of this study is to analyse the effect of shadow banking on money markets by
discussing its place in 2008 global crisis.

painting because of his artistic experiences and the huge age gap between two. Rivera is not
a disregard and unchangeable figure on Frida’s life and art works as well as nationalistic
elements. Frida Kahlo represents national identity and indigenous spirit with her manner of
dressing and its exhibition on the paintings. Painting was a way to earn live at the beginning
of her artistic life. Later on, painting is a life style for Frida, she lost three children and
different health problems made her life worse, however, she fulfills her life with painting.
Kahlo who painted her first self-portrait in 1926 until she died in 1954 produced more than
one hundred images. Each self-portrait is an explanation of Frida’s within different aspect
without repetition. The self-portrait means identity of entirely herself with each point of her

Department of Radio Television and Cinema, University of Erciyes, Kayseri, Türkiye
The studies, which accept that new media fosters public discussion and participation,
exaggerate the democratic potential of technological innovations. The debate on democracy
and new media needs to be considered with a critical approach. The purpose of this study is
to reveal the power relations and the controling actions of the actors which are dispersed
into new media. The electronic surveillance of states to control the internet’s realm become
an oppressive action in an authoritarian regime, besides these tight-political rules can cause
both hierarchical and unequal implications among the netizens in a digital platform. The
investigation of new media by aspects of critical thought is useful in order to depict how the
power relations are interlinking with a decentralized, multilateral and unequal manner in
the new media environment. By doing so, the question of ‘who is driven new media?’ is
revealed and the linkage between economy politics and the actors that controled the
networks can be shown also. With regard to this, an analytical framework is chosen for this
study to explore the power relations which is based on a computer-mediated
communication. The policies and applications of the AKP government on internet will be
viewed and internet cencorship in Turkey will be discussed in this study. New media policies

Internal and External Factors behind Iran’s Nuclear Policies and Activities
Zeynep Sartepe
PhD Student
Department of Int.'l Relations, Uludağ University, Turkey
This paper examines main motivations behind Iran’s nuclear programme before and after
the Islamic Revolution of 1979 from a historical perspective with a particular focus on
internal and external dynamics that give rise to emergence and development of its nuclear
activities. The answer to question ‘why Iran goes nuclear’ lies in factors such as its threat
perception, its search for (inter)national prestige and honor, consensus among the Iranian
leaders, elite groups/factions and public to develop its own nuclear programme. Beginning
with a civil nuclear cooperation agreement between Iran and the USA in 1957 as part of the
United States Atoms for Peace Program, ‘the nuclear option’ was a source of national
prestige and a kind of modernization tool for the Shah’s regime. For the USA, Iran as an
island of stability, was seen as a bulwark state against the Soviet influence in the Middle
East during the Cold War years. The nuclear cooperation between Iran and the USA came to
a sudden halt with the Islamic Revolution which turned them into their archenemies. The
eight year war with Iraq (1980-88) made the Islamic regime to revive its nuclear activities
which later on became an integral part of security politics of Iran. The birth of new ‘nuclear
states’ such as Israel, India and Pakistan, the Shiite character of the regime surrounded by a
Sunni world, events of 9/11 and the invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq were hugely effective
in the acceleration of its activities. The paper ends up with a brief evaluation of the impact
of nuclear negotiations between Iran and P5+1 countries and the final agreement (JCPOA)
on Iran’s nuclear policies.

Do not Disturb: An Investigation of Resisting Secondary Task Engagement
during Intrusions
Bing Chun Lin
Assistant Professor
College of Administrative Sciences & Economics, Koc University, Rumeli Feneri Yolu,
Sariyer
Intrusions are cessations in task progress due to the onset of a secondary task initiated by a
fellow employee. Secondary tasks can range from simple greetings to complex questions.
Intrusions have recently been identified as a significant source of stress in the workplace
(Lin et al., 2013), and are anticipated to increase with each additional communication
technology made available (Turner et al., 2010). However, it is unclear why employees, even
when informed about the disruptive nature of intrusions, continue to engage them (i.e.,
secondary task engagement). We assume resisting secondary task engagement consumes
self-regulatory resources, the limited resource used by employees to regulate behavior (see
Muraven & Baumeister, 2000). This act of resource consumption has been identified to
result in employees stress (see Hobfoll, 1998). We further assume resisting secondary task
engagement consumes more self-regulatory resources than simply engaging in the
secondary task altogether. Thus, we designed an experiment wherein participants were
given a data entry task, and were interrupted every 30 seconds with an instant message.
Participants were randomly assigned to two groups: One group was instructed to resist
engaging the messages, and the other group was told they were free to answer the messages
as they wished. We have recently begun data collection (4 of 60), and anticipate finishing
data collection in May. Regardless of results, our findings will conclusively determine
whether simply telling employees to resist engaging their secondary tasks is an effective
means of alleviating the disruption of intrusions.

Positioning the Principal in School Social Network: A Research on Leadership
Behaviors and School’s Innovative Climate
Yasir Armagan, Selahattin Turan
Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, Turkey
The one who starts leader- follower relationship, makes up connections, and carries the
burden of sustaining the relationship is generally the leader himself/herself. Leadership
requires the management of social relations. According to the point of view of social
network, in order to understand the efficiency of the leader, it is necessary to look into the
position of that leader in wider networks s/he takes place in. The position of the leader in a
social network may foster or limit the distribution of information and sources in that social
network. Social interaction among individuals at school is seen as a keystone for leadership.
When the fact that leadership requires the activation of the social interactions is taken into
consideration, the social network of a school can be seen as an important means of
communication by which the leader displays his/her effect. In addition, there is a consensus
on leadership being important to develop and foster the climate and conditions for
innovation. The social network position of the school principal is thought to play a role in
the relationship between the leadership behaviours and the perception of innovative school
climate. The discourse of “social network position of the school principal” implies three
centrality measures as degree, closeness and betweenness. Each measure puts forth related
but differing points of view about the position of the school principal in the social network.
The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the school principals’ social
network positions and leadership behaviours and the school’s innovative climate.

Yasir Armagan, Cemil Yücel
Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Eskisehir, Turkey
Various studies regarding the classification of organizational culture are found in the
literature. In this study, Quin and Cameron’s organizational culture model called as
“Competing Values Framework” has been used. In this model, there are four organizational
cultures resulting from an axis, -one side of which is labelled as focus within the
organization and the other side is labelled as focus outside the organization,- intersecting
another axis, -one side of which is labelled as flexibility and dynamism, and the other side is
labelled as stability and control-. These culture types are called clan, adhocracy, hierarchy
and market culture. The aim of this study is to define the school cultures in middle schools
and high schools in Turkey in terms of student perceptions using metaphors within the
Competing Values Framework and to reveal what kind of relations exist between these
school cultures and the sense of school belonging.

Universal Design and Urban Squares: A Case Study of Trabzon Meydan Park,
Turkey
Reyhan MİDİLLİ SARI, Fatih Yazıcı
Department of Architecture, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey
Streets, squares, parks, urban open spaces that are important in the formation of cities are
vital areas which provide city dwellers to come together, reach and get connect with each
other and constitute a society belonging by connecting the city’s function. So, urban squares
being vital parts of urban life and used by city dwellers for the purpose of social, cultural,
political and commercial needs both in special days and usual days are public areas. Being an
important instrument of participation to social life, the urban squares must be discussed
carefully in the context of form, function, and spatial organization for the potential users.
And also, urban squares have to be equal, accessible, perceptible, secure, and utilizable and
offer diversity for the individuals that constitutes the society. At this point, the universal
design approach stands out by developing a different perspective for user factor in design
and remarks as an approach appreciating the human.
Universal design is an approach which adopts an understanding that human who is
described as the user don’t have standard characteristics and abilities, which defends that all
the products and environment can be used by people as many as possible regardless of age,
ability, gender and situation. It also integrates individuals and contributes to the existence
in the society. Elders, disables, kids, people who have different measurement like too tall,
too short, too weak or too fat, people who have continuous or temporary disease, healthy
people, people who lost physical qualification, pregnant, parents that have children and so
many different users don’t be parsed with universal design approach, on the contrary they
are included in design by an inclusive view. All these people with different abilities and
qualifications using the product or environment without hindrance and participating to the
social life can be possible only with designs and applications that are considering universal
design policy.
Urban squares designed in our cities and forming dense areas cause usage and accessible
problems in consideration of user variety especially for the elders, disabled and children.
From this point of view, the aim of this paper is examining Trabzon Meydan Park and its
surroundings, being the city’s most important gathering, socializing and transition zone, in
the context of the user variety and universal design approach. In this study, firstly checklists
have been created. After, the checklists were filled via on-site monitoring, measurement,
observation and photography techniques. The obtained data were transferred to the maps
and results were interpreted. In the conclusion, the utility of Trabzon Meydan Park in the
context of universal design was commented and suggestions were made

Magazines
ILTER ALKAN, BAYBORA TEMEL
Trakya University, Faculty Of Fine Arts, Edirne, Turkey
Graphic design has a more dynamic structure than all other fields of design by virtue of the
elements it embodies. This dynamic structure of graphic design renders it a driving force. In
order for graphic design to manifest its effect in the most correct and systematic way, it
needs to appeal to all the data and fields of communication. And this aspect of graphic
design indicates that it constitutes an inseparable whole with communication. In order to
evaluate a product of graphic design, one must have a good comprehension of
communication culture and knowledge.
The purpose of this study is to probe the changes that the designs of actuality and business
magazines appealing to high-class, as one of the most effective media organs have
undergone in terms of design and content since the 1920’s, and to stress the significant role
of visual identity in magazine designs.
With this purpose in mind, the method of the study, followed during the preparation
process, was grounded essentially on literature review together with descriptive
observations and research on the visual and written resources. First, a literature review was
conducted so as to examine the concepts of Popular Culture and Capitalism, and how these
concepts give shape to design was tried to be propounded. The research is theoretically
supported by the arguments of Frankfurt School members, Theodor W. Adorno and Max
Horkheimer.

Assessment, Turkey showed improvement in low performance students between the years
2003 to 2012 and taking place in the same range with countries such as Brazil, Germany and
Greece. Disadvantaged students make up a significant part of the aforementioned group also
showed a tendency to develop over the years indicated. Although point increase in PISA
2012 applications, it did not demonstrate a statistically significant increase, and therefore
does not reflect the truth. Hovewer, Turkey has stagnated during success when compared
with other countries even fallen back on some of the topics that have been identified.
The students tested by PISA are aged between 15 years are scale six levels and divided into
three groups. Low performing students are located at the entrance of this six-digit level. Low
performing students are more often immigrants and minority language students also tend to
be social economically disadvantages. According to OECD report, increased level in the low
performing students have a significant economic gain in the long term. When exceeded the
critical threshold of students in OECD member countries, forecast in the coming years it
means that the economy will contribute 200 billion USD. In addition, measures will be taken
in the fight against low performance, it will ensure the success of the high-level triggered
indirectly. If necessary measures are not taken in the low performance of disadvantaged
students, it is a risk of dropping out of school and causes the level of education is falling.
The purpose of this study is to determine the cause of the increase occurring in
disadvantaged students are based PISA 2012 data on low performance between 2003 to 2012
years in Turkey and to develop recommendations for ensuring continued growth is

The nation state comprehension which has emerged since the second term of 19th century
in Europe desperated the ottoman intellectual people for not rescuing the Devlet-i Aliyye
Fired by the Commitee Of Union and Progress the term modern society closed up themselves
to the france followed by ottoman. In the book The Division of Labour in Society (1893) by a
french intellectual Durkheim, appearently seem that the social constructions influenced by
the solidarity model in which there is no classes but division of labours attracted Ottoman
intellectuals narrowly though attracted republicans broadly. These people who had an active
role in the establishment of the Turkish Republic, didn’t use the social heritage in order to
strengthen the state under the power of army, easy social transitions between social status
and a good division of labour but the social engineering to combine the society. For this
reason solidarist-korporatizm is seen as a social model.
In this work the effects of corporation philosophy on the society in order to form an
aggregated society after the national warfare is studied. While working the topic, it is
noticed to the rules and practices of the republicans in order to establish general conception
on society. Because it is suggested that the practices which studied in the work have an
indirect affect both on society and the general conception established economical model.
Esspecially the books read by Mustafa Kemal Pasha about soldairizm, underlined parts,
solidarizm spirit in İzmir Economics Assembly, Labour Law and Community Laws are
studied in this work. Solidarism perceived as mutual support in Ottoman Empire, became
official policy with corporation which means rising division of labour in Europa, esspecially
after the year 1935.
One of the main purpose of the essay is the reveal of the societal model imagined by the he
Turkish War of Independence, by the help of publications on the memories and Solidaristcorporationist of the period. This new model tried to be rooted by the Küçük Mecmua
magazine, Especially started by the Ziya Gökalp, supported by the intellectual Tekin alp,
Necmettin sadık(sadak), Zekeriya sertel. You will find the ideas of writers about Solidaristcorporationist, working in Küçük Mecmua.
While working, the ideas of Ziya Gökalp and tekin alp and the Works of Mustafa Nami about
solidarizm will be used as the main sources. On the other hand, the book The Division of
Labour in Society(1893) written by Durkenheim, called the father of solidarizm is the among

Department of International Relations, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey
This study provides the first direct derivation of the size of strategic voting in 2014 local
elections and sheds light on the conditions under which voters will vote strategically. In
doing so, the study uses ballot level data to infer the extent to which citizens casted their
votes for their second-most preferred candidates rather than their most preferred ones.
Recent studies have derived these political quantities of interest from sound survey designs
and experiments, yet, there is little systematic knowledge on the configuration and
characteristics of strategic vs. sincere voting at provincial level in Turkey. By using latest
advances in ecological inference and using actual data from the election results from around
174,000 ballots, the study offers the first-cut dataset on the predicted percentage of
strategic voting in 2014 local elections.

This study is a qualitative study carried out to find out the opinions of the secondary school
English teachers about the reflections of the decisions taken by the Committee of teachers’
group on school success. The study was implemented between the years 2015 and 2016. The
sample consisted of ten teachers who work in two socioeconomically different (one with
high and the other with low socioeconomic situation) but successful schools and two
socioeconomically different but unsuccessful schools according to the TEOG results of the
education year 2014-2015. A semi-structure interview was used to find out how the teachers
apply the decisions, if they are teams in their schools and how this affects students’success.
A face to face interview was made with the teachers in the schools. As a conclusion of this
study it was found that the teachers working in successful schools could apply decisions
such as the number of the exams and homework subjects,methods and techniques which will
be applied. One of the other important result is that most of the decisions have been
remained on the paper and could not catch a chance to be implemented especially by the
teachers working in academically unsuccessful schools. In addition it was found that the
number of the meetings are inadequate and they ought to be made with the participation of
the school directors. With the light of the views of the English teachers working in
academically successful and unsuccessful schools, it was found that the effects of committee
meetings on the school success to the successful schools is above average. As for
unsuccessful schools committee meetings seem to have no benefits as they remain as a
matter of form.

The Examination of the Settlement Law No 2510 from a Legal Aspect
Sadullah ÖZEL
Assistant Professor
Batman Üniversity, Batman, Turkey
One of the elements of a heterogeneous society structure in Turkey is tribalism. After
switching to the Republican regime; belongingness, relations and life-styles of individuals
living in the tribal order have been incompatible with the purpose of creating a modern state
sovereignty and national identity. The idea that the said structure of the tribes has created
or may create a public order problem has led the newly formed state authorities to take some
tough measures against tribes. As the desired results from the Settlement Measures, which
the Republic of Turkey implemented for the first time in 1927, could have not been
achieved, the Settlement Law numbered 2510 was enacted in 1934. The main objective in
the preparation of the Act was tosuppress the tribal system. Taking the action based on the
""East and Southeast” report prepared by Şükrü KAYA, the Interior Ministry submitted the
first draft of the Settlement Law to the Parliament on 2nd ofMay, 1932. During the
preparation works of the said law, an article, which includes also “Nomads” and “Gypsies”
into the tribes to be resettled, was added to the Law. Consisting of fifty-five articles, the
draft law was presented to the Parliament with some slight changes by the Provisional
Council on 11th of June, 1934 and adopted on 14h of June,1934.
Examination of this Law’s legal framework, reasons and historical background in the light of
the 1924 Constitution will assist in solving some of the current problems. Settlement Law no
2510, contains some provisions that are contrary to fundamental rights and freedoms
guaranteed Under the 1924 Constitution. Following the adoption of the said law, several
tribes in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region were forced to migrate to western
regions, whereas a lot of families were sent from West to Eastern Regions. The influence of
the social shock resulted from the forced migration set forth by the Settlement Law is still
continues. The Settlement Law, which was lacking of legitimacy even according to the
conditions of that period, has become a thing of the past, however the fault lines created by
its earthquake still cause nuisance for the modern Turkey.

University, Turkey
The purpose of this research is to investigate faculty’s perceptions on the quality of
organizational communication and to examine the differences among their perceptions in
terms of their personal, professional, and institutional characteristics. Among their
characteristics, faculty’s managerial roles deeply influence their communication perceptions
due to the freedom of establishing and directing organizational communication practices by
their formal authority. Therefore, the impact of managerial roles was eliminated during the
analysis by assigning managerial duties as the covariant variable. The data were collected
from 776 faculty who work in Turkish public universities via online application of the
Organizational Communication Scale after the adaptation to university environment. The
level of faculty’s perceptions on the quality of organizational communication was
determined by using descriptive analysis, and the quality level of communication in
universities is at medium level (Mean: 3.05; sd: .69). The differences among faculty’s
organizational communication perceptions were analyzed by performing ANCOVA with
including all independent variables together. There are significant differences among
faculty’s perceptions in terms of their seniority and the locations of universities (in favor of
older faculty and ones from universities in Marmara and Central Anatolia regions). These
inequalities among faculty’s communication perceptions may result in the potentially
longer personal friendship between managers and older faculty and the well-designed
communication
channels,
especially
electronic
mediums,
as
a
part
of
stronger
institutionalization in universities of Turkey’s developed regions. Consequently, university
managers should operate various events to empower informal interactions with younger
faculty and establish functional channels by benefiting new technologies to quicken formal
communication in their institutions.

study have been carried out. In order to obtain the data of this study, databases of ULAKBIM,
ASOS Index and National Thesis Center have been researched. Any assertion that has been
presented in scientific activities such as national and international symposiums or congress
has not been included in this study. The studies which have been examined for their metaanalysis comprise the experimental application results of 4E, 5E and 7E learning models that
are used in science lectures at the level of primary school, secondary school, high school and
university. Experimental research designs having pre-test and post-test patterns have been
used all across the studies that are within the scope of the study. 4E, 5E and 7E learning
models and traditional approaches have been used as independent variables in the study
whereas academic success has been used as dependent variable. Effect size analysis has been
performed in order to identify the effect of the studies conducted on academic success. The
effect size model which has been calculated in this study is a random effects model because
of the features of data that have been obtained. In order to determine the effect size,
computer-based statistic program has been used and Cohen's d calculation criteria has been
taken into consideration in order to test the effect size. Q value which has been calculated in
order to identify the homogeneity level of data, demonstrates that the homogeneity of the
effect size values that have been obtained in the study is appropriate. Therefore, it proves
that statistical techniques used for the analysis provide reliable results. It has been
identified that the learning models whose effect sizes on academic success are examined,
have stronger effect levels in comparison with traditional methods. The effect size according
to publication types have been identified to be from highest to the lowest as follows:
postgraduate studies, refereed journals and doctorate studies. The effect sizes of the
learning models whose effect has been examined in the study according to education levels,
are as follows consecutively: high school, secondary school, primary school and university.
It has been concluded that the effect size of the studies whose sample group is composed of
maximum 25 people, is higher than the sizes of sample groups composed of 26-50 people or
50-75 people. Furthermore, it has been determined that 5E model has the highest effect size
among these three learning models. The study has been completed with various suggestions
for people who implement these learning methods.

Learned Helplessness on Public Administration
Fatih YÜKSEL
Professor
Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi
Learned helplessness is the condition in which an individual remains unresponsive after he
has been exposed to a series of events which hinder learning. Liable to happen in several
environments, this condition can also be seen in business life. The condition of helplessness
with its negative effect on the performance of employees is a serious issue that prevents the
adequate utilisation of human capital– which is the most important source for institutions.
It is possible to encounter with the traces of learned helplessness in public administration
which is a part of business life. However, it is observed that no emphasize has been put on
the issue in the literature of public administration. In fact, we suggest that such problems in
public administration as disinclination to work, doing the tasks and activities perfunctorily,
counting the new applications and innovative actions as unnecessary, and not exceeding the
routine operation not only underlie learned helplessness but also are the samples of the
behaviours and attitudes particular to learned helplessness.

This paper presents legal framework and reflections of lifelong learning in Turkey and
briefly discusses some of the key issues to maintain an ongoing fluency in the application of
lifelong learning so that the lifelong learning may play a meaningful role in shaping the
future of society and individual. It has been found that the human being since the day of his
existence, he must do a number of initiatives in order to survive, and these initiatives have
made the inevitable learning as the natural process of life. Therefore, inevitably it means
that an individual continues learning since the beginning of his life. Now, thanks to
technological advances, immediate access to all information and can be accessed quickly;
with economic development, taking shape in the new global economy; with social change,
each social system, new forms of communication and are subject to change so as to create
new social interactions. Adding to that, the lifelong learning is not the only an individual’s
efforts to get it; the societal policies too should play the crucial role in order to make this
process accessible to everybody. The societal policies should not just be focused on the
social economic development; they should also focus on the provision of personal welfare as
well as equipping an individual in order to fit well in the society.

Osman Ferda Beytekin
Associate Professor
Faculty of Education, Ege University, Izmir, Turkey
The paper aims to discuss several technologies from outside the education community that
should be considered by school leaders in the education sector. It describes how technology
currently is being used by school administrators and teachers and discusses the importance
of building technological competences for school leaders. It has been stated that traditional
educational management models of the schools are now being challenged by digital
technology. Both the competence of educational administrators and the teachers are getting
more important in our era in terms of efficiency in educational management, leadership,
efficient school development and vision setting. It is clear that an effective school culture
and a national success in the field of education can only be achieved by training
accomplished and sophisticated education administrators and instructors. There is no doubt
that for these education administrators and instructors one of the aspects of being efficient
is their technological competence due to the current era that we are in. It is important for
school leaders to develop activities using technology, so that leaders are not just using
technology for the daily routines, but instead foster the development of meaningful
activities that are relevant to success of the schools in the rapid change of the technology.

We are at the beginning of a revolution that is fundamentally changing the way we live,
work and relate to one another (Schwab,2016). Previous industrial revolutions liberated
humankind from animal power, made mass production possible and brought digital
capabilities to billions of people. This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however,
fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing
the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and
industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human. The purpose of this
research is to determine the possible effects of Industry 4.0 on Turkish Educational System
according to the perceptions of school principals. During the research the eight key concepts

A Research on Learning Styles of Teacher Candidates
Hasan Arslan
Associate Professor
Canakkale Onsekiz Mart University, Faculty of Education, Çanakkale, Turkey
It is possible to state that, today’s educational systems need to focus on learner centered
education philosophy, by taking into account of individual differences, to create an
individualized learning process. The learning process, that would be created by this kind of
an educational understanding need a hard planning and preparing period. The quest of, by
what kind of applications this process could be put into action, leads us directly to the
formative regulations of learning-teaching processes (Alkan, 1997). An educational vision
which is that depends on the acceptance of individuals who learn differently. An educational
structure in which individual differences are at the basis, the acceptance of individuals who
learn by using different techniques, brings another value that allows using different
instructional techniques (Demirel, 2000). Instructional techniques that would be formatted
depending on the individual differences and that are appropriate to the new educational
approaches, without no doubt, would sustain the effectiveness of the learning environment,
by increasing the participation of the learner .

Learning: An action research
Mehmet Ali Icbay, Emre Kocak
Assistant Professor
In this research, it is aimed to enhance the success of foreign language teaching by use of
connections coming in sight via examining the process of displaying performance in foreign
language (English) learning period. For this, ‘Action Research’ has been used as a model.
The participants of this study are students who study in 9-A class of a high school in Şarköy/
Tekirdağ, students’ parents, teachers who have lessons in 9-A class and the researcher’s
himself who has English lessons in 9-A class. In this research, since the confidentiality of
participants’ information is protected, the name of the school where the study took place is
not used. In order to find the answers of this study’s questions, qualitative data were used.
Data collection tools were organized by researcher’s himself by taking account of
possibilities and circumstances. That’s why, in this study, video recordings, interviews,
observations, research notes, students’ homework and projects and student recognition
forms were used. In data analyzing process ‘content analysis’ were used. In consequence of
this study, it can be said that instead of classic, grammar based and form focused foreign
language teaching system; a foreign language teaching approach in which target language is
used in a context, communicative and guided in accordance with linguistic needs is more
efficient in term of putting theoretical foreign language knowledge into practice. Depending
on the findings, a number of recommendations are suggested from the point of student,
teacher, school management and students’ parents.

QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS
Mine AGDAC, Benan AGDELEN, Ozgur BATUR
The purpose of this research is to identify educational administrators and supervisors’
motivators and de-motivators of lifelong learning process that are currently active in the
Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. In order to reach relevant data, qualitative case study
is conducted and the data are gathered through interviews between December 2015 and
April 2016 from a study group of 20 participants within the age range of 41 to 65. All of the
participants have started their MA and PhD process in their late thirties after an average
service of ten years in their major fields. The data are analyzed by using NVivo 10
Qualitative Analysis Software. Findings reveal that the major motivation for late graduate
education of the participants have direct connection with their personal desire in learning
process and to gain academic competency to be more efficient in their professions. The
leading obstacles of the participants to start their graduate education at the beginning of
their career are the country’s undesired political and military turmoil, the lack of MA and
PhD programs and some personal reasons like financial and family issues. Findings also
reveal that the majority of the participants identifies their late graduate education as ‘the
right time is now’ depending on their raised awareness, and has led them to be more
efficient in terms of academic and social interactions in their professional life. Participants’
expectations from governments and educational policy makers are to supply better
circumstances in order to aid motivated learners to accomplish their goals, internalize the
lifelong learning process as a governmental issue and set up legislative structures for inservice education for a better fulfillment of the teaching process.

Risk Culture
Vahap Önen, Cengiz Türkoğlu
The ICAO Safety Management Manual (Doc 9859) and many other guidance materials
published by the regulatory authorities around the world refer to models and frameworks
such as‘4 Components of Safety Culture’ (Reason, 1997), Ron Westrum (three categories of
organisation culture), ‘Culture Ladder’ (Hudson, 2001) and ‘Just Culture’ model (Dave Marx ‐
Outcome Engenuity, 2015). As a result, the stakeholders in aviation have so far considered
only these perspectives in terms of measuring, assessing and developing their safety culture.
While these models are valid and – when effectively applied – can have significant impact
on organisations’ safety performance, it can be argued that these models seem to be very
much focused on collection of past event data, which is inevitably backward looking and
they do not specifically aim to explore how risk is perceived and managed at different levels
in organisations. Risk Culture’ – on the other hand – has been studied and recognised as an
important part of organisation culture, in other risk oriented industries such as financial
institutions as well as some safety critical industries. Additionally the role of ‘risk culture’ in
overall risk management process is recognised within the ISO 31000:2009 ‘Risk Management
– Principles &Guidelines’, which is not a certification standard but used as a guideline by
many organisations. The idea of introducing ‘Risk Culture’ as a new component of ‘Safety
Culture’ has links with a number of previously mentioned models. The concept of ‘Risk
Culture’ may proactively identify Acceptable’ & ‘Unacceptable’ risks by a way of
organisational development and learning.

THE CHALLENGES OF INTERNATIONALIZATION IN HIGHER EDUCATION:
“HEED THE VOICE OF STUDENTS!”
Gülşah Taşçı Kaya, Seyfi KENAN
In recent years, cross border student mobility is one of the significant strategies in
internationalization. In many countries, it comes out as a significant human resource and
contributes to the academic, socio-cultural, politic and economic progress and international
competition substantially. Especially, the growing importance of Turkey’s strategic location
makes the internationalization and international student mobility an important current
issue. Within this context, the purpose of this study is to identify the problems that the
students at higher education institutions in Turkey experince, those who go abroad within
the scope of internationalization (within the scope of Erasmus program) and to present
suggestions to solve these problems. This study was conducted with 10 students studying at
universities in İstanbul and who went abroad via Erasmus program. In this study, a
qualitative research method was used and the students were asked open-ended questions
including in face to face interview. The data were collected as voice recordings within 20152016 education years and they were evaluated. The findings gathered within the qualitative
study
were
analysed
through
categorisation.
The
views
of
the
students
on
internationalization’s challenges were grouped into four different categories: (1) : academic,
(2) economic, (3) politic, (4) socio-cultural. As the results of this study; the most significant
problems were determined as bureaucratic obstacles, foreign language problems, course
selection and accreditation problems, socio-cultural problems. Lingual and personal
development was identified in all students as the most affective gain of this program. The
most significant gained various opportunities were found as cultural awareness, the feeling
of being a global citizen, foreign language development, enrichment of curriculum etc.
Lastly, it will be given some various suggestions targeted the question of what can be done
in order to decrease the challenges encountered in student mobility which is one of the
significant dimensions of internationalization. There is no doubt that internationalization
will play an increasing role in oppening of Turkish higher education in a much qualitative
way to the world in both ways.
