Article Governing Authority Through Bureaucracy: Conflicts Over Bureaucratic Cadres and the Rise of Authoritarianism in the Late Ottoman Empire (1908-1913)(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) İlter, MustafaThis article presents a historical analysis of how internal power struggles and conflicts among state actors can foster the development of authoritarian systems, particularly when a political network gains exclusive control over the bureaucratic apparatus through its authority over appointments and dismissals. Focusing on the intricate power struggles and factional rivalries surrounding gubernatorial appointments between 1908 and 1913, this article aims to provide an alternative approach to understanding how the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) became the dominant governing force within the state apparatus, enabling it to pursue an authoritarian agenda.Article An Empirical Study of Sequential Offer Bargaining During the Festival of Sacrifice(Elsevier, 2024) Dindaroğlu, Burak; Ertaç, SedaWe report results from a unique data set of real -life bargaining transactions collected from the market for livestock (sheep) before the Festival of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) in Izmir, Turkey. This market is characterized by frequent and aggressive bargaining, which occurs in the form of sequential price offers. We record bargaining transactions as they occur, and collect detailed information on the bargaining environment, as well as on the characteristics of buyers and sellers. We also elicit each seller's outside option by means of an incentive compatible mechanism and obtain a reported maximum willingness to pay from buyers. We particularly focus on aspects of the bargaining process, such as non -price communication. In different types of empirical analysis, results robustly indicate that the presence and content of communication matters, for the likelihood of a sale as well as concessions made. Specifically, buyer -side communication is associated with larger concessions from the seller and a higher probability of sale. The presence of a mediator during the negotiation is associated with a higher probability of sale as well, while it has no effect on prices. We also provide results on the relative importance of groups of variables for predicting bargaining outcomes, which can provide directions for further research in bargaining.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 2Unwanted Others of the City: Counter-Cultural Production of the Roma People of Urla-Turkey(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Uştuk, OzanThis article examines a case of urban displacement and its impact on the local Roma community by uncovering the discursive strategies of the local governments and the tactical responses of the local people. Based on two-year-long ethnographic research, this study aims to understand the intricate dynamics of the counter-cultural production of the Roma people as a response to gentrification policies of local governments. The rapid rise of the rent value of land has motivated the capital class to force an exile strategy on Roma and accelerated existing segregation policies. During this time, some discursive strategies to manufacture public consent about the gentrification have circulated to change the representation of the Roma identity, replacing their imagery in mainstream society by mainly signifying them as the undeserving poor. This research aims to understand how strategic discourses and actions have positioned Roma in the societal and cultural sphere and in response, how everyday tactics of the Roma engenders counter-cultural forms through intercultural communication.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Nkx3.1 Expression Contributes To Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Prostate Cancer Cells(American Chemical Society, 2023) Saydullaeva, Iroda; Debeleç Bütüner, Bilge; Korkmaz, Kemal SamiStudies demonstrate that inflammation synergizes with highgrade aggressive prostate tumor development and ultimately metastatic spread, in which a lot of work has been done in recent years. However, the clear mechanism of inflammation inciting prostate cancer remains largely uncharacterized. Our previous study has shown that the conditioned media (CM)-mediated LNCaP cell migration is partially correlated with the loss of expression of the tumor suppressor NKX3.1. Here, we continue to investigate the inflammation-mediated migration of prostate cancer cells, and the role of NKX3.1 in this process to gain insights into cell migration-related changes comprehensively. Earlier, the model of inflammation in the tumor micro environment have been optimized by our research group; here, we continue to investigate the time-dependent effect of CM exposure together with NKX3.1 changes, in which we observed that these changes play important roles in gaining heterogeneous epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype. Hence, this is an important parameter of tumor progression; we depleted NKX3.1 expression using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and examined the migrating cell clusters after exposure to inflammatory cytokines. We found that the migrated cells clearly demonstrate reversible loss of E-cadherin expression, which is consistent with subsequent vimentin expression alterations in comparison to control cells. Moreover, the data suggest that the AR mediated transcriptional program also contributes to mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) in prostate cancer progression. Furthermore, the quantitative proteomic analysis showed that migrated subpopulations from the same cell line presented different phenotypes in which the proteins overexpressed are involved in cell metabolism and RNA processing. According to KEGG pathway analysis, the ABC transporters were found to be the most significant. Thus, the dynamic process of cellular migration favors diverse genetic compositions under changing tumor microenvironments. The different levels of invasiveness are supported by shifting the cells in between these EMT and MET phenotypes.Article Citation - Scopus: 1İzmir'in bir dağ köyü: Yamanlar ve Yamanlar Yörükleri üzerine etnotarihsel bir inceleme(Rector CIU Cyprus int Univ, 2023) Ustuk, OzanThis study examines the history, language, social, and economic transformation of the Yuruks living in the Yamanlar Village located in the Karsiyaka district, where there is relatively little information in the literature despite its proximity to the Izmir city center. Information collected from the Ottoman Era cemetery adjoining the village reveals that the Yamanlar Yuruks have lived here for at least 400 years. Mount Yamanlar, where the village is located, is of great importance because of its ancient history, as it witnessed the founding of Izmir (Smyrna). The social and economic lifestyle in the village has transformed as the city expanded toward residential areas atop Mount Yamanlar. The loss of traditional livelihood practices challenged the villagers and severely influenced their customs, which might be considered valuable pieces of cultural heritage. In this study, we conducted fieldwork, during which various data collection methods and techniques were employed to describe daily life in the village. Within the scope of this study, semi-structured and unstructured interviews were conducted with the local people, and an oral historical study was carried out. With this method, we aimed to present an ethnohistorical description of the Yamanlar Village by trying to establish a balance between the analysis of both written documents and oral data to make sense of the social and economic change it has undergone and to contribute to the literature on Izmir Yuruks.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Selfless Subjectivities That (re)build the Nation: Remaking the Modern Turkish Woman in the Early Republican Period in Turkiye(SAGE Publications, 2023) Yakalı, Dikmen; Ataman, BoraThis study explores the newly constructed female identities of the Early Republican Era in Turkiye (1923-1945). Through a thematic analysis of three contemporary women's magazines (Aile Dostu, Ev-Is, and Asrin Kadini) it aims to examine how conceptualizations of marriage and family were refashioned in the magazines to fit in the images within the newly constructed domestic ideologies of the state. We argue that the selfless subjectivities offered by the magazines point to dialogically constructed narrative identities which are not stable but fluid. The women's magazines of the Era aimed to reconstruct new identities by representing the Republic's ideas and official ideology to its people. Thus, they became one of the tools of social engineering in the way of transforming the nation into a modern, Westernized one. Analysing these magazines help us identify the repertoire of subjectivities and narrative identities from which women drew while making sense of their selves during an era of transformation.Article Interpersonal Trust, Invention, and Innovation Across European Regions(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Dindaroğlu, BurakMany studies in economics and regional science claim a positive link between interpersonal trust and innovation by demonstrating a positive effect of trust on patenting. This contrasts many findings from organization level studies on trust and innovation, who report a variety of findings including inverted-U type relations. A possible explanation is that trust exhibits different roles in invention and innovation, as the former relies on knowledge commons while the latter directly embeds commercialization and the market context. This study attempts to reconcile the two set of findings by studying indicators of invention and innovation in relation to trust at the same unit of observation, by using the regional variation in Europe. I study the relationship between interpersonal trust and patent applications (a measure of invention), trademark applications (a composite indicator) and the share of innovative sales in turnover by SMEs (a direct indicator of commercialization), across European regions. I show that trust positively affects trademark applications with an effect that is comparable to that on patent applications. However, trust exhibits an inverted-U type relationship with innovative sales. Results collectively point to a strong role of trust in all three creative activities, including a negative effect at the higher end when the indicator is directly contingent on commercialization and sales. I also estimate the extent of spatial spillovers in the effect of trust on all three creative outcomes. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.Article Gezegensel Siyaset Manifestosunun ardından yeşil teorinin uluslararası ilişkilerdeki konumu(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2022) Buhari Gülmez, Didem; Aydın Dikmen, BengüThis article sheds light on the current debates on the Planetary Politics Manifesto in order to better locate Green Theory in International Relations. In particular, it aims to go beyond the problem-solving vs critical theories binary that is observed in the studies on the location of Green Theory in the discipline. Therefore, rather than comparing Green Theory with the mainstream theories of International Relations, it focuses on the complex relationship between Green Theory and major critical theories such as Constructivism, Normative Theory, Poststructuralism, Critical Theory, Postcolonialism and Feminism from the perspective of the Planetary Politics Manifesto.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 9Search for Heavy Resonances Decaying To Z (ν Ν ¯)v (q Q ¯ ′) in Proton-Proton Collisions at S =13 Tev(American Physical Society, 2022) Karapınar, Güler; CMS CollaborationA search is presented for heavy bosons decaying to Z(νν¯)V(qq¯′), where V can be a W or a Z boson. A sample of proton-proton collision data at s=13 TeV was collected by the CMS experiment during 2016-2018. The data correspond to an integrated luminosity of 137 fb-1. The event categorization is based on the presence of high-momentum jets in the forward region to identify production through weak vector boson fusion. Additional categorization uses jet substructure techniques and the presence of large missing transverse momentum to identify W and Z bosons decaying to quarks and neutrinos, respectively. The dominant standard model backgrounds are estimated using data taken from control regions. The results are interpreted in terms of radion, W′ boson, and graviton models, under the assumption that these bosons are produced via gluon-gluon fusion, Drell-Yan, or weak vector boson fusion processes. No evidence is found for physics beyond the standard model. Upper limits are set at 95% confidence level on various types of hypothetical new bosons. Observed (expected) exclusion limits on the masses of these bosons range from 1.2 to 4.0 (1.1 to 3.7) TeV. © 2022 CERN.Erratum Citation - Scopus: 2Erratum To: Measurement of the Top Quark Mass With Lepton+jets Final States Using Pp Collisions at S = 13 Tev(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2022) Sirunyan, A.M.; Karapınar, GülerIn this article the author name Luigi Calligaris was incorrectly written as A.
