1915 Events, New Issues and Reconciliation Within the Framework of Persistence of Conflict and the Concept of Intractable Conflict
(2017) Çoban Öztürk, Ebru; 105587
There are some concrete problems, with roots in the past, that have remained unsolved between Turkish and Armenian societies. These problems have become deeper through the years and have negatively affected the relationship between the two societies, and by now have been transformed into a chronic conflict. Nevertheless, this type of conflict does not involve physical violence today, yet it has been transformed into intractable conflict with its all defining features. This study attempts to investigate the relationship between the two societies around the concept of intractable conflict and the socio-psychological foundations of it. The socio-psychological foundation of the Turkish-Armenian conflict has generated a completely new bundle of problems. For both societies to follow a positive line of relationship, a due attention should be paid not only to the concrete problems, but also to the socio-psychological repertoire of intractable conflicts and find solutions accordingly. This article will apply Daniel Bar-Tal’s method of analysis when using the concept of intractable conflict that analyzes the said socio-psychological repertoire.
50. Yıldönümünde Ankara Anlaşması Perspektifinden Türkiye-Avrupa Birliği İlişkilerine Kısa bir Bakış
(2014) Akşemsettinoğlu, Gökhan; 104466; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler
The European Union is perhaps the most important organization, where the idea “to be incorporated with the West,” one of the most important basis of the Turkish political life and Turkish foreign policy, has become tangible. The relations between Turkey and the European Union became official with the Ankara Agreement signed in the year 1963 and which entered into effect on 1 December 1964 and has been in the workings up to date. This article was prepared to remind us of the main highlights of the Ankara Agreement on the occasion of its fiftieth anniversary on entering into effect, and to also give a brief summary of the relations, close to half a century, between Turkey and the European Union. This article reviews the Turkey-EU relations chronologically, the ups and downs of the relations, the problems encountered and explains the paths taken for the solution of the problems with historical examples. This article emphasizes the structure of this agreement which progresses when the geo-strategic importance of Turkey increases and which takes its shape according to conjunctural changes.

A case study: Internet based collaborative and cooperative learning
(int inst informatics & Systemics, 2007) Demirbulak, Dilara; Aşkun, Ali Rıza; Demirbulak, Dilara; 56475; Ortak Dersler Bölümü; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
The Internet has improved the quality and quantity of communication all over the world by providing opportunity to electronically deliver and share knowledge instantly all over the world. As for the impact of this on education the ones relevant for this study are the need to integrate educational technology and collaborative learning into curriculum. This is the third phase of a longitudinal study. It was carried out at an English Language Teacher Training Certificate Program, "Methodology" course at a Higher Education institution. The same course was being given by one instructor to two different groups of learners who had not met each other. Each week a different method was focused on by different groups of learners. Each group presented the principles of the method using the method itself and then discussions were carried out. The presentations were video-taped and discussions were carried out based on key points presented via power-point. The learners in the two courses focusing on the same methodology were asked to interact by means of the internet and their output was evaluated, Based on the results of data gathered it could be said that virtual teams learner outputs were, effective and in some cases were more effective than the face to face teams.

Bosna-Hersek'teki savaşa kadar samimi olan Türkiye-Yugoslavyailişkileri, üç etmen tarafından biçimlendirilmiştir: Yugoslavya'nınTürkiye'nin Avrupa'ya giden ticaret yolunun üzerinde yer alması,Yugoslavya halklarıyla paylaşılan uzun tarih ve o zamana kadar var olandostça ilişkiler. Diplomatik ilişkilerde savaşla birlikte bozulmagözlemlenmiş, bu nedenle ekonomik ilişkiler de savaşın ve sonrakiKosova krizinin kurbanı olmuştur. Ancak, diplomatik ilişkilerin yapısı veaktör davranışları, göze görünenden farklı bir nitelik sergilemiş, bu dailişkileri karmaşık bir gerçekliğe sokmuştur: iki tarafça kullanılan, bazendüşmanlık eşiğinde seyreden politik söyleme, büyükelçi geri çekme veretlerine rağmen, ilişkiler devam etmiştir.

A comparative civilizational reading for the Middle East and Turkey's new role in it
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2016) Atac, C. Akca; 17826
The 1990s witnessed a bloom of studies on the standard of civilization', which all aimed to explore the future of the rift between the East and the West. The Arab Spring and its implications for the primordial competition between the East and the West has once again required the revisiting of certain, rather more contemporary, theoretical aspects of the grand debate on civilization. This paper aims to introduce current arguments pertaining to the grand debate on civilization into the context of the Arab Spring. In doing so, it seeks to offer a comparative perspective of the quest for understanding the current situation in the Middle East with particular reference to the civilization discourse which is currently on the rise in Turkish politics. Turkey is among the actors in the Middle East seeking to assume leadership in order to establish peace in the region.

A Content Analysis of Sustainable Development in the Tourism Literature
(Taylor and Francis, 2019) Arzu Kalemci, R.; 42537
This study examines what fundamental issues are addressed in the tourism literature for defining sustainable development. By adopting a descriptive approach with a content analysis, 221 articles with the keywords “sustainable development” in their titles are analyzed in the current study. This study argues that although developmental and environmental dynamics is crucial, however, organizational dynamics of sustainable development should also be emphasized in the tourism literature. This study also shows that sustainability for companies operating in the tourism sector has a legitimating effect both at the organizational level and within the organization. © 2020 selection and editorial matter, Ipek Kalemci Tüzün, Mehmet Ergül and Colin Johnson; individual chapters, the contributors.
A Country Specific Approach To IFRS Accounting Policy Choice In The European, Australian And Turkish Context
(2015) Öztürk, Can; Öztürk, Can; 41482; Bankacılık ve Finans
IAS 8 defines the concept of accounting policy as "the specific principles, bases, conventions, rules and practices applied by an entity in preparing and presenting financial statements". Within the framework of this concept, this research that is derived from International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) contributes to the accounting literature by focusing on the alternative accounting policies' debate related to presentation and recognition issues in the European, Australian and Turkish context and concludes that there is an influence of local accounting policies over IFRS practice in Turkey and this influence still exists in Europe and Australia. This shows that as long as diversity in accounting policies of IFRS is present, entities are expected to be inclined to select their local accounting policies by leading to comparability of financial statements within the country rather than between countries in the IFRS context.

A Feminist Reading of Turkish Foreign Policy and the S-400 Crisis
(Sage Publications inc, 2021) Akca Atac, C.; 17826
Hypermasculine hegemonic masculinities have become the norm to dominate the foreign policies all around the world. As the populist foreign-policy visions, the byproducts of androcentric norm-creation, undermine the established rules for peace, diplomacy and co-existence in the international system, other experiences have faded away from the narratives that have defined and contributed to foreign policies. The accelerating urgency of the national security agendas of the hypermasculine states seek to cancel feminist definitions, practices and theories for the sake of physical force and state control. Nevertheless, more than any other period in history, it is these conflicting times that necessitate Cynthia Enloe's 'curious feminist' questions the most. Turkish foreign policy of the last decade has become a quintessential example of hypermasculine hegemonic masculinity, especially within the context of the S-400 crisis with the US, NATO and Russia; its feminist critics are distressingly rare. This paper aims to offer an alternative reading of Turkey's S-400 saga from a feminist perspective to contribute a Turkish case to feminist International Relations. First a definition of feminist International Relations will be provided. Then, the hypermasculine character of the Turkish hegemonic masculinity and its reflection on the current Turkish foreign policy will be analyzed. Lastly, the S-400 crisis of Turkey's decision to buy Russian defense missiles as a NATO member will be examined.
A Fuzzy AHP approach for selecting a global supplier in pharmaceutical industry
(2012) Taş, Ayşegül; 29252
Our study looks into the strategy that should be pursued for raw material procurement by a pharmaceutical firm operating in Turkey. In this paper, pharmaceutical research companies and food industry chemists operating in the global market in the pharmaceutical industry are examined and a suitable supply strategy is suggested for a company operating in Turkey under the specified criteria. The supplier selection is a multi-criterion problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria. This paper proposes a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP) to efficiently tackle both quantitative and qualitative criteria involved in selection of global supplier in pharmaceutical industry. Four main criteria and thirteen sub-criteria were identified for supplier selection in this problem. The number of suppliers to be selected under these criteria was identified as four. A numerical example presented illustrates the different selection criteria to select the best supplier in pharmaceutical industry.

A glance at the constitutive elements of the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Turk, H. Bahadir; Türk, Hasan Bahadır; 18664; Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler
Leadership is a major aspect of Turkish politics; leaders in Turkish politics are regarded as either almost sacred figures or the ultimate reason for all political, social and economic problems. Leaders are seen as decision makers who have a significant impact on almost all aspects of life. It can be contended that a historical continuance toward the leader-centered perspective is present in Turkish politics. This paper aims to present a descriptive framework outlining the elements that constitute the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics. To accomplish this goal, the paper presents two major arguments. It is argued that the constitutive elements of the leader-centered perspective in Turkish politics are a sui generis synthesis of patrimonialism, patriarchy, populism and militarism. Furthermore, this fourfold historical structure strengthens forms of charismatic leadership and can provide insight into the central role of leadership in Turkish politics.

A new causal discovery heuristic
(Springer, 2018) Prestwich, S. D.; Özkan, İbrahim; Tarim, S. A.; Ozkan, I.; 6641; 169580; Yönetim Bilişim Sistemleri
Probabilistic methods for causal discovery are based on the detection of patterns of correlation between variables. They are based on statistical theory and have revolutionised the study of causality. However, when correlation itself is unreliable, so are probabilistic methods: unusual data can lead to spurious causal links, while nonmonotonic functional relationships between variables can prevent the detection of causal links. We describe a new heuristic method for inferring causality between two continuous variables, based on randomness and unimodality tests and making few assumptions about the data. We evaluate the method against probabilistic and additive noise algorithms on real and artificial datasets, and show that it performs competitively.
A new classifier design with fuzzy functions
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2007) Celikyılmaz, Aslı; Türkşen, I. Burhan; Aktaş, Ramazan; Doğanay, M. Mete; Ceylan, N. Başak; 112010
This paper presents a new fuzzy classifier design, which constructs one classifier for each fuzzy partition of a given system. The new approach, namely Fuzzy Classifier Functions (FCF), is an adaptation of our generic design on Fuzzy Functions to classification problems. This approach couples any fuzzy clustering algorithm with any classification method, in a unique way. The presented model derives fuzzy functions (rules) from data to classify patterns into number of classes. Fuzzy c-means clustering is used to capture hidden fuzzy patterns and a linear or a non-linear classifier function is used to build one classifier model for each pattern identified. The performance of each classifier is enhanced by using corresponding membership values of the data vectors as additional input variables. FCF is proposed as an alternate representation and reasoning schema to fuzzy rule base classifiers. The proposed method is evaluated by the comparison of experiments with the standard classifier methods using cross validation on test patterns.

A New Clustering Method With Fuzzy Approach Based On Takagi-Sugeno Model in Queuing Systems
(IGI Global, 2013) Zanjanbar, F.G.; Şentarli, I.
In this paper, the authors propose a new hard clustering method to provide objective knowledge on field of fuzzy queuing system. In this method, locally linear controllers are extracted and translated into the first-order Takagi-Sugeno rule base fuzzy model. In this extraction process, the region of fuzzy subspaces of available inputs corresponding to different implications is used to obtain the clusters of outputs of the queuing system. Then, the multiple regression functions associated with these separate clusters are used to interpret the performance of queuing systems. An application of the method also is presented and the performance of the queuing system is discussed. Copyright © 2013, IGI Global.

A Nonlinear Analysis of Weak Form Efficiency of Stock Index Futures Markets in Cce Emerging Economies
(2012) Karadagli, E.C.; Donmez, M.G.; 17735
Futures markets, through carrying considerable impact on the spot market, serving such functions as price discovery and risk reduction for all market participants, and providing beneficial effects on the economic growth process especially in emerging countries, appear to be a vital part of a well-functioning economy. Accordingly, this paper examines weak form futures market efficiency of five CEE Emerging Economies. For this purpose, besides the traditional unit root tests, to account for nonlinearities in financial data, we employ nonlinear unit root tests along with their panel extensions. The results suggest that although the examined markets are efficient in linear sense, inefficiencies prevail when we account for nonlinearities. These findings imply that the examined countries, especially Poland and Turkey, need to take precautions to overcome the obstacles in their prevailing market structures, especially inherited in the sources of nonlinearity in the financial data, and to ensure a more efficient futures markets. © EuroJournals Publishing, Inc. 2012.

A nonparametric panel data model for examining the contribution of tourism to economic growth
(Elsevier, 2023) Dogan, Ergun; Doğan, Ergun; Zhang, Xibin; 43080; İktisat
We apply a nonparametric panel data model with cross-sectional and time-varying coefficients to examine the relationship between tourist arrivals and economic growth in the Schengen area from 1995 to 2019. In contrast to the parametric models employed in other studies, our nonparametric model makes no assumption about functional form and, hence, allows us to model the relationship nonlinearly. We find that the tourism-economic growth relationship in the Schengen area is nonlinear and time-varying. While the relationship between tourism and economic growth was positive and significant during 1995-2003, it was negative and significant during the Global Financial Crisis (2007-2008) and the European recession of 2012-2013. One additional contribution of the study is the finding that total factor productivity (TFP) has been growing at 1.45% per year. The results also show that country-level TFP growth was disrupted during the aforementioned negative economic shocks.

A Poisson process with random intensity for modeling financial stability
(Ediciones Doyma, S.L., 2016) Ilalan, D.; İlalan, Deniz; Bankacılık ve Finans
Stock market crashes are hazardous for financial stability and usually modeled via Poisson processes having a predetermined fixed intensity. This study uses a more general framework by allowing the intensity to be random in order to model rare events called the “unpredictable unknowns”. Three stock indices, namely Japan Nikkei 225, US Dow Jones Industrial Average and Turkish BIST 100 are analyzed. Simulation results indicate that in stable markets, we encounter fewer unpredictable unknowns compared to unstable ones. However, it is also shown that stable markets are more prone to severe financial crises. © 2015 Asociación Española de Finanzas
