A Maid Came Free: From Sighting to Citing in Tracy Chevalier’s Girl with a Pearl Earring
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Uzundemir, Ozlem; Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Tracy Chevalier's ekphrastic novel Girl with a Pearl Earring explores the relationship between literature and art, as it narrates Jan Vermeer's paintings from the perspective of the story's narrator, Griet, who works as a maid in the Vermeers's house. In her fictional account, Griet gradually becomes the painter's assistant as well as his model, and subverts the gender issues in ekphrasis; the silent and gazed-upon female image in the eponymous painting gains a voice to critique Vermeer's art. This article will deal with Griet's transformation from a young maid into an art critic with respect to the issues in painting, namely colour, light and realistic representation, as well as the paragone between the viewing subject and the viewed object in ekphrasis.

Arab sources on the life of galen
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Starr, Peter; 144003
This paper contains a summary of the chapter on Galen’s life provided by Ibn Abi Usaybi’a. The Galen section shows the impressive range of the material on which a medieval Syrian physician, historian and bibliophile, could draw. Where the versions and fragments of information available to him are otherwise lost, the details he provides are of particular importance. At the same time it is clear that in the East the biography of Galen underwent some curious transformations, just as a large number of spurious works were in circulation. This paper also looks at little-known references to Galen which show his significance for medieval writers
Ayla Kutlu’s kadın destanı and the modification of the epic
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2005) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Ayla Kutlu's Kadın Destanı and the Modification of the Epic:Ayla Kutlu uses historical events in her fiction to make a correspondence between the past and the present, because she sees the historical background as the determining factor of what happens at present (Kutlu 9). Kutlu's work Kadın Destanı (Woman's Epic), published in 1994, is a rewriting of Gilgamesh from the viewpoint of a harlot who is abused by Gilgamesh. The female narrator of Kutlu's epic, Liyotani, talks about her suffering at the temple of Gilgamesh, while she narrates his story. Like Gilgamesh, Liyotani emphasizes the significance of writing, but their aim is different: while Gilgamesh desires to become immortal by engraving his story on clay tablets, Liyotani wants to finish writing her story before she dies in order to share her suffering with other women. In terms of form, Kutlu modifies the epic genre, which can be defined as .A long narrative poem in elevated style presenting characters of high position in adventures forming an organic whole through their relation to a central heroic figure and through their development of episodes important to the history of a nation or race. (Holman and Harmon 171). Although Kutlu.s epic is a narrative written in the form of a poem, the main character is a harlot, not a hero of a nation. Kutlu changes some characteristics of the epic to include heroines and their suffering in a patriarchal society. The aim of this paper is to show how Ayla Kutlu rewrites Gilgamesh and modifies the epic genre to connect women.s experience in the past with their present situation.
British national identity, topicality and tradition in the poetry of Simon Armitage
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Coussens, Catherine
This paper explores the treatment of British national identity, topicality and tradition in the work of Simon Armitage, alongside broader issues concerning contemporary public poetry in Britain. Armitage, with Carol Ann Duffy, is a major candidate for the position of Poet Laureate in 2009. Both poets have explored constructions of national identity in their work, but it is Armitage who has located himself more assertively within the arena of public, national poetry. Despite his focus on modern life-styles and discourses, and deployment of the mass media to disseminate his poetry into non-literary public spaces, Armitage is particularly sensitive to literary and cultural tradition. Within his work, which is deliberately accessible and contemporary, tradition is always at play in terms of allusion, response and interrogation. In this sense, his poetry both occupies and challenges notions of canonicity and traditional conceptions of British national identity. His recent focus on the theme of conflict also works to expose the inadequacy of mainstream assertions of continuity and meaning when constructing national identity. Armitage places Britishness and British literature within a broader ‘Millennial’ schema of eclipse, destruction and regeneration. For Armitage the recurrence of the theme of conflict throughout literary history both connects the literature of the present day with that of the past and emphasises the future’s instability and eternal lack of resolution. Therefore, Armitage’s modern translations of canonical texts like the Odyssey and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight foreground the fact that disharmony and conflict are, and have always been, national preoccupations
Challenges to Ekphrastic Poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “Standing Female Nude”
(2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Ekphrasis rests on the paragone between the sister arts, namely verbal and visual arts, the word and the image. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing in his Laocoön claims that the image is silent and fixed while the literary work is based on voice and action. W. J. T. Mitchell in his Picture Theory enlarges this binary opposition between the word and image in terms of gender roles: the female image versus the male word. The female image is objectified and gazed, while the male author/artist is the subject and the gazer. The poet laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s poem “Standing Female Nude” challenges such binary oppositions by giving voice not to the male artist but to his female model, and by attributing the role of gazing to her. Hence, the aim of this article is to display how Duffy deconstructs the ekphrastic tradition in her poem in order to subvert the domineering relationship between the artist and his model.
Challenges to ekphrastic poetry: Carol Ann Duffy’s “standing female nude”
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2013) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Bir görsel sanat yapıtını betimleyen şiirler, yazınsal metinler ve görsel sanatlar arasındaki farkların ortaya çıkmasını sağlarlar. Gotthold Ephraim Lessing’in Laocoön adlı kitabında sözünü ettiği gibi sanat yapıtı sessiz ve durağan olmasına karşın, yazınsal metin söze ve harekete dayanır. W. J. T. Mitchell Picture Theory adlı kitabında söz ve imge arasındaki böylesi ikili karşıtlığı cinsiyet rollerini de içerecek şekilde genişletir. İmge dişil, söz ise eril olarak ele alınır. Dişil imge bakılan nesne olmasına karşın, erkek yazar/sanatçı özne ve bakan konumundadır. Carol Ann Duffy “Standing Female Nude” adlı şiirinde, bu tür ikili karşıtlıkları sorgulayabilmek için erkek sanatçı yerine kadın modele söz hakkı verir ve bakma edimini de model üstlenir. Böylece, Duffy anlatıcının ister sanat yapıtı sahibi, ister sanatçının kendisi, isterse de yapıta bakan bir erkek olduğu resimbetimsel şiir geleneğini reddederek sanatçı ve modeli arasındaki güç ilişkisini sorgular.

Changes in the Teaching of Literature: A Study of Practices in the English Language and Literature Department at Çankaya University during the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Sağlam, Berkem; Guvenc, Ozge Ustundag; Saglam, Berkem; Uzundemir, Özlem; Cakirlar, Ozkan; Uzundemir, Ozlem; 18329; 32109; 105401; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
During the COVID-19 pandemic, academics and students have had to respond to the unexpected and unplanned shift from face-to-face to online teaching. Since teaching and learning through online portals has been a new experience, this has prompted the academics in the English Language and Literature Department at Cankaya University to seek alternative and creative ideas to promote student productivity, participation and motivation. The aim of this case study is to discuss how the course materials, teaching methods and assessment have been redesigned to meet the needs of online education during the pandemic. With the examples from changes in the syllabi, student survey and sample student responses, this study also reveals how the academics in the department have had an opportunity to re-evaluate systems of teaching both on and offline and to refresh their role as instructors.

We hope that this format will help the readers comprehend these new ideas and trends deeply and reflect upon them carefully.
Configuration of Transient Shelters As Alternative Spaces Through Nomadic Acts in Doris Lessing'S
(Cyprus International University, 2019) Güvenç, Ö. Ü.
Doris Lessing's short story "An Old Woman and Her Cat" from her collection, The Temptation of Jack Orkney, revolves around the nomadic experiences of an old and homeless woman in various places and her survival under poor living circumstances with her cat. The places occupied by the old woman in this story such as the Council flats, the room in the slum and the ruined flat in a wealthy neighbourhood cannot be considered as proper homes where people have a sense of belonging; rather, they are just material places she tries to appropriate as shelters temporarily on the way without a feeling of warmth and attachment to them. Focusing on the woman and the cat's relationship with their surrounding provides a discussion on space and nomadism within the framework of Henri Lefebvre's spatial tripartite - the perceived, the conceived and the lived - which is related to Rosi Braidotti's theory on nomadism. It also reveals the social norms and values, which disregard an old woman and her cat's struggle for life in a metropolis. Therefore, this article aims to discuss not only the material qualities of transient places in London and their conceived perspective which segregates the poor and the homeless from the wealthy but also the old woman's configuration of alternative spaces for herself out of the ruins without a sense of home.

Effects of calibration sample size and item bank size on abilityestimation in computerized adaptive testing
(EDAM, 2015) Şahin, Alper; Weiss, DJ.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of calibration sample size and item bank size on examinee ability estimation in computerized adaptive testing (CAT). For this purpose, a 500-item bank pre-calibrated using the three-parameter logistic model with 10,000 examinees was simulated. Calibration samples of varying sizes (150, 250, 350, 500, 750, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, and 5,000) were selected from the parent sample, and item banks that represented small (100) and medium size (200 and 300) banks were drawn from the 500-item bank. Items in these banks were recalibrated using the drawn samples, and their estimated parameters were used in post-hoc simulations to re-estimate ability parameters for the simulated 10,000 examinees. The findings showed that ability estimates in CAT are robust against fluctuations in item parameter estimation and that accurate ability parameter estimates can be obtained with a calibration sample of 150 examinees. Moreover, a 200-item bank pre-calibrated with as few as 150 examinees can be used for some purposes in CAT as long as it has sufficient information at targeted ability levels.

Genly’s Reformation of His Self through Intersubjective Encounter in The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
(2022) Demir, Yağmur Sönmez; 30410
Bu çalışmanın amacı Ursula K. Le Guin’in Karanlığın Sol Eli adlı eserindeki ana karakter Genly Ai’nin benliğinde ve kimlik algısındaki değişimi metin analizi yaparak göstermektir. “Lanet bir gezegen” dediği Gethen’de iki yıl geçirdikten sonra, Genly (efendi) başkasını (köleyi) yani Estraven’i daha yakından tanıma fırsatı bulur ve öznelerarası karşılaşmayı deneyimler. Hegel’in diyalektiği açısından değerlendirildiğinde, Genly kendi benliğinin dışına çıkarak başkasını da kendisinden bağımsız bir benlik olarak kabul eder. Bu süreç onun benliğinde bir değişime sebep olur, ve Gethen gezegenine bağlılık hissetmesini ve kendini orada evde hissetmesini sağlar. Bu makale, başka bir gezegende uzaylı olan Genly’nin benliğini yolculuk, öznelerarası karşılaşma, ve evde hissetme aşamalarıyla yeniden oluşturduğunu öne sürer.
Male Friendship As Masculine Individuation in Romeo and Juliet
(2016) Aral, Halide; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
The purpose of this essay is to analyse from a Jungian perspective how heroic masculinity and Christianity, due to their negative attitude toward the feminine, problematize masculine individuation and cause tragedy in Romeo and Juliet. Although all male characters in Verona fall short of the mature masculinity that could come with developing a relation to the feminine, I focus on Romeo and Mercutio whose problematic development clarifies man’s difficulty with integrating the feminine without forgoing the masculine structure. Romeo, the puer, who represents the spirit, suffers from a positive mother complex. Mercutio, the trickster, the dark side of the puer, represents the body which is considered evil by Christianity, and has a disturbed relation to the feminine. Hence he compensates for, completes, and gives body to Romeo who is otherwise nothing but the spirit. Being the evil component, Mercutio is essential to the individuation process, and with his simultaneous resistance to and what seems to be an unconscious identification with the feminine, Mercutio serves as a medium through which Shakespeare presents what we may now call, following Eugene Monick’s model, bisexual androgyny as an alternative to heroic masculinity. But this potential as embodied in Mercutio is wasted tragically by the heroic masculinity in Verona.

Nature, Criticism Of The World, And Love In “Dover Beach” And “Love Among The Ruıns”
(2015) Güneş, Ayşe; 53100; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Matthew Arnold’s “Dover Beach” and Robert Browning’s “Love among the Ruins” have been analyzed comparatively with other poems. However, there has not been a comparative study of these two poems written by two Victorian poets, and such a study is valuable as these poems have common qualities. To cite a few, in both poems, nature is a prevalent theme portrayed through ambivalent images, and the world is criticized for different reasons. These reasons are loss of faith in “Dover Beach” and foul human nature in “Love among the Ruins,” and war in both of them. In relation to the theme of criticism against the world, change is a concept portrayed through contemplation of the past. In “Dover Beach,” this change is expressed through the depiction of loss of faith, and in “Love among the Ruins,” the change is physical within the context of a fallen empire. Love is appreciated in both poems for different reasons. In “Dover Beach,” it is the only saviour, and in “Love among the Ruins,” it is considered as a peaceful and eternal force. This paper attempts to make a further study to compare “Dover Beach” and “Love among the Ruins” which share remarkable thematic similarities as well as differences in terms of their imagery of nature, criticism against the world, and appreciation of love.

New Spectral Approaches To the Simultaneous Quantitative Resolution of A Combined Veterinary Formulation By Ann and Pca-Ann Methods
(Walter de Gruyter & Co, 2011) Dinc, Erdal; Baleanu, Dumitru; Baleanu, Dumitru; Sen Koktas, Nigar; 56389; Matematik
The simultaneous spectral prediction of levamisole (LEV) and triclabendazole (TRI) in combined veterinary formulation was performed by the new chemometric methods, artificial neural network (ANN) and principal component analysis-artificial neural network (PCA-ANN). Despite the overlapping spectra of LEV and TRI in the same wavelength region, the proposed methods do not use any separation procedure for the analysis of the related compounds. Good precision and accuracy were observed for the applications of the proposed artificial neural network models to an independent binary mixture set consisting of the active compounds. These methods were successfully applied for the chemometric quantitation of a veterinary formulation of LEV and TRI.
Once an insider, now an outsider: Doris Lessing’s African laughter
(Çankaya Üniversitesi, 2008) Uzundemir, Özlem; 49324; İngiliz Dili ve Edebiyatı
Doris Lessing’s African Laughter is a travel book including her four visits in 1982, 1988, 1989 and 1992 to Africa, the place where her childhood memories belong to. Pleased to hear the end of the white man’s supremacy, she traveled to the country, not only to visit her friends and relatives but also to observe the social and political changes that took place after the country gained its independence. The aim of this article is to analyze the dynamism Lessing observes in Zimbabwe, namely the political controversies, the blending of cultures and the continuation of the colonial hatred in people’s attitudes and lifestyle as well as to evaluate her visits as inward journeys to her past through an emphasis on the fallibility of memory.
Proposed Turkish body mass index cut-off points compared with the World Health Organization and AsiaPacific indices
(2022) Dagalp, Rukiye; Aydıntuğ, Yavuz Sinan; Aydintug, Itir; Aka, Sema P.; Iper, Doruk; Aka, Bahar
Beden Kitle Endisi (BKE) hesaplamalarında, toplumlararası antropometrik farklılıklar nedeniyle ülke ve cinsiyet bazında belirli kesim noktalarının belirlenmesi önemlidir. Bu sebeple bu araştırmada, Türk genç yetişkinleri için spesifik beden kitle endisi [TR-BKE (kg/m2)] kesim noktalarını saptamak için bir çalışma yürütülmüştür. TR-BKE, Dünya Sağlık Örgütü endisi (DSÖ-BKE) ve Asya-Pasifik endisi (AP-BKE) sınıflandırmaları ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Bu araştırmada 196 olgunun (97 Erkek, 99 Kadın, yaş ortalaması 22,5 yıl) ağırlık ve boy ölçümlerini içeren verileri incelenmiştir. DSÖ-BKE ve AP-BKE’ye göre hesaplanan BKE sınıflandırılmıştır. Bu verilere istatistiksel Ampirik Kural uygulanarak TR-BKE ve ayrıca erkekler ve kadınlar için TR-BKE erkek ve TR-BKE kadın endisi kesim noktaları bulunmuştur. Veriler hem DSÖ-BKE hem de AP-BKE’ye göre sınıflandırıldığında sonuçlar tutarsızlık göstermiştir. Bu nedenle TR-BKE hesaplanarak cinsiyete göre belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’ye özgü BKE kesim noktaları ve aynı zamanda erkekler ve kadınlar için ayrı BKE kesim noktaları bulunmuştur. Buna göre “genç erişkin” yaş grubunda erkeklerin %70,1’i kadınlarda ise %78,8’i normal sınıflamaya, erkeklerin %14,4’ü, kadınların ise %10,1’i zayıf gruba girerken, erkeklerin %5,2’i ve kadınların %4,0’ı obez gruba girmektedir. Bu sonuç Türk genç erişkinler için obez olma durumuna kıyasla, zayıf olma durumunun daha ciddi olduğunu ortaya çıkartmıştır. BKE hesaplamalarında araştırılan ülkeye özgün olarak; yaş gruplarının, cinsiyetin ve bu hesaplamalarda yaşlanmaya bağlı boy kısalma miktarının göz önüne alınması önerilmiştir.
