KURDISH CINEMA AS A TRANSNATIONAL DISCOURSE GENRE: CINEMATIC VISIBILITY, CULTURAL RESILIENCE, AND POLITICAL AGENCY
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Cambrıdge Univ Press, 2014)Within the last few years, "Kurdish cinema" has emerged as a unique discursive subject in Turkey. Subsequent to and in line with efforts to unify Kurdish cultural production in diaspora, Kurdish intellectuals have endeavored to define and frame the substance of Kurdish cinema as an orienting framework for the production and reception of films by and about Kurds. In this article, my argument is threefold. First, Kurdish cinema has emerged as a national cinema in transnational space. Second, like ...

NATO's Evolution and Turkey's Contribution to the Transatlantic Security
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2015)Turkey has been member of NATO for more than six decades. Turkey's contributions to NATO's collective defense have evolved in quantity and quality in step with changes in the ends and means of security. In terms of its contributions to the alliance, two elements of continued stand out. The first one is Turkey's location. Its proximity to zones of risks and threats in NATO's assessments has turned Turkey into an asset. The other element is Turkey's ability to raise and maintain a large army at a ...

Revisiting the Mainstream Approaches of the Theories of International Relations
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2015)The view that we have reached the end of the "grand debates" in International Relations (IR) is widespread among the majority of IR scholars. Today, we observe that the references to the great theoretical debates in the prominent journals of IR have significantly diminished and that the most relevant debates have been among the scholars belonging to the same school specifically over empirical studies rather than between theories/paradigms. 'this paper, by revealing the challenges generated by the ...

Cybernetic narrative Modes of circularity, feedback and perception in new media artworks
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2015)Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explore how second-order cybernetics (von Foerster, 2002) functions in new media artworks, specifically through information, system and user. While formulating the relationship between new media artworks and the discourses surrounding cybernetics the paper analyzes Popp's (2006) Bit. Fall, Wojtowicz's (2007) Elsewhere News and Zeren Goktan's (2013) The Counter, as exemplars of alternative methods of narration. This study further argues that these new media ...

A mathematical characterization of the gel point in sol-gel transition
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2015)We model the sol-gel transition in terms of Susceptible-Infected-Removed (SIR) and Susceptible-Exposed-Infected-Removed (SEIR) models and compare with experimental results. We show, numerically, that the "gel point" described as the onset of the gelation phenomena and measured experimentally, corresponds to an accumulation point of the extreme values of the derivatives of the gelation curve. We define the "critical point of a sigmoidal curve" as the limit of the points where the derivatives reach ...

Competing frameworks of Islamic law and secular civil law in Turkey: A case study on women's property and inheritance practices
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science LTD, 2015)The article stems from empirical research conducted with a group of women living in Istanbul who have conservative life styles bounded by an Islamic worldview. It attempts to illuminate the negotiation and contestation between the official civil law and Islamic law. The findings demonstrate that women inherit and bequeath property in a social setting where their gender roles are defined by their adherence to Islam. We argue that in Turkey women's inheritance practices are not determined solely in ...

Feature Extraction Based on Deep Learning for Some Traditional Machine Learning Methods
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning and deep neural architectures can extract high level features automatically without handcraft feature engineering unlike traditional machine learning algorithms. In this paper, we propose a method, which combines feature extraction layers of a convolutional neural network with traditional machine learning algorithms, such as, support vector machine, gradient boosting machines, and random forest. All of the proposed hybrid models and the above mentioned ...

Sickle Cell Anemia Detection
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)Anemia is a common name given to falls in oxygen transport capacity due to some of the functional disadvantages of red blood cells. Pathology Laboratorians put the tissue on the microscope glass and try to diagnose Anemia disease. Processes have been taken for a long time and it has been caused to distract. Therefore it has been caused to misdiagnose the Laboratorian. This work shortens the diagnostic period of the disease and to minimizes error probability of this diagnosis by extracting healthy ...

Effect of temperature and graphene oxide on the swelling of PAAm-GO composite gels
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Avestia Publishing, 2019)Graphene oxide (GO) is a two dimensional carbon material with similar one-atom thickness, and is a light material having extremely high strength and thermal stability [1]. Thus, GO is an efficient filler for the enhancement of the electrical, mechanical and thermal properties of composite materials [2]. We focused on GO as a nanofiller in polyacrylamide hydrogels and PAAm-GO composites to investigate the effect of temperature and graphene oxide on the swelling. Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels have ...

Delineating the concept of corporate social innovation: Toward a multidimensional model
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Inderscience Publishers, 2019)Business organisations are facing increasing pressure over their role in society. Social innovation is a relatively new concept used to define efforts to develop novel and innovative solutions to social challenges. The aim of this study is to conceptualise a novel form of social innovation, namely, ‘corporate social innovation’, by focusing on social innovation efforts initiated by private sector organisations. This study also aims to provide insight into: 1) the definition of corporate social ...

Russian and Turkish foreign policy activism in the Syrian theater
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(International Relations Council of Turkey, 2019)Russia and Turkey have been involved in remarkable redefinitions of their foreign policies while navigating through turbulent times in the Post-Cold War era. This has manifested in a search of being recognized as a great power. The tragic civil war in Syria has been the theatre of these ambitions of these two states in highly controversial ways. They have been on the opposite sides until recently on the essential question of the regime change in that country. The risk of a direct fight has even ...

Rewriting history: Interpreting heritage in saint petersburg and istanbul
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Taylor and Francis, 2019)Our chapter analyses the paradoxes of reconstructing and reinterpreting architectural heritage, with a focus on the phenomenon of disappearing history. We argue: In the process of multiplication of actors involved in the reconstruction and reinterpretation of heritage sites, history and historical facts are playing a dwindling role. Using two case studies—Degtyarnyy Lane, a former tram station and park in Saint Petersburg, and the Emek Cinema building and Roma Garden in Istanbul, both of which are ...

Sway on a tightrope: The development of a mutualistic relationship between Turkey and DAESH
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(International Relations Council of Turkey, 2019)The Arab revolts have changed the regional balances. Syria is one of the particular examples of these changes. The shifting balances also presented ideal ground for the identities that have been suppressed throughout years. In addition to Al-Qaedah, new version of jihadism appeared at the stage which is known as Daesh. In this research, one intends to comprehend Turkey’s interaction with Daesh in the context of Syrian Civil War to shed light on the evolution of the global jihadism. Ankara has ...

Intuition and deliberation in morality and cooperation: An overview of the literature
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(CRC Press, 2019)This chapter focuses on a question that remains in relative neglect in the management literature-whether intuitions support ethical and cooperative behavior. It provides an overview of the literature and discuses the emerging picture on dual-process accounts of morality and cooperation. Despite the growing scholarship on the pros and cons of intuitive managerial decision-making, the literature understandably prioritizes the aspects of strategic business decisions and consequent corporate financial ...
