Yayın CSR practices in Turkey: Examining CSR reports(Greenleaf Publishing, 2015-07) Uyan Atay, Bilge; Tuncay Çelikel, AslıThis study examines the private companies that publish CSR reports in Turkey. Turkey has a growing economy, located in an international arena with an increasing number of global brands starting to export their products from Turkey with even more multinational enterprises (MNEs) planning to locate in the country. Now, some Turkish companies and subsidiaries of MNEs have started to publish CSR reports. Our findings show that strong Turkish conglomerates are playing a constructive role in macro-level development and governance in Turkey. They are also addressing local problems such as education, human rights, environmental protection and workers' rights. Besides, subsidiaries of MNEs are also having an impact with respect to the application of their headquarters' community programs in Turkish society.Yayın A new way of conducting war: Cyberwar, is that real?(Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg, 2014-12-01) Mehmetçik, HakanThere are numerous discussions on both the reality and impact of cyberwar. Most of the critics are based on the Clausewitzian perspective of war in which its political nature must exist, an act of war has to be characteristically violent and has instrumental purposefulness. Therefore cyberwar is generally regarded as a conduct of action that simply doesn't match with these Clausewitzian criteria of war. However during the last two decades, with the advancement of information technology and widening connecters of the world, many incidents such as Estonian and Georgian cases of cyberattacks, Stuxnet worms, and many other politically motivated cyberattacks, show us that we need to think carefully about the terminology that being used by scholars, experts and policy makers. In this chapter, I aim to discuss about the term cyberwar within a broader theory of war in International Relations studies. In doing so, my aim is to bring together related International Relations Theories and the contemporary cyberwar discussion and discuss the issue within a theoretical perspective.Yayın Laura Mulvey, afterimages: on cinema, women and changing times(Semire Ruken Öztürk, 2021) Gürkan, İpekMulvey’in düşünce hayatı esasında hep aynı veya benzer problemlerin temelinde ilerleyerek farklı açılardan o düşünceyi geliştirmeye ve anlamaya dayanıyor. Bu anlamda Mulvey, düşüncesini sürekli yeniliyor, sorguluyor ve bu sorgulamaya metinlerinin içerisinde büyük bir dürüstlükle yer veriyor. Afterimages’da Mulvey’in metinleri arasında diyalojik bağ metinlerle zihinsel bir ilişki kurmaya izin veriyor ve geçmişle güncel olan arasındaki gerilimin izini taşıyor. Mulvey’in güncelliği; kendi düşüncesi üzerine yönelen metinleri arasında kurulan bu açık diyalojik bağa ve bu bağın yansıtıcı özelliğine dayanıyor. Her bir metin öncekilerden izler taşıyor; aynı filmlere aynı düşüncelere geri dönüyor ama tekrara düşmeden, farklı açılardan yeniden sorgulayarak. Mulvey’in bu kitapta “geç üslup” meselesine eğilmesi satır arasına saklanmış en az iki anlamı öne çıkarıyor: birincisi kendi düşüncelerindeki değişimi gösteriyor, “kendi geç eserinde” aynı filmlere yönelerek, bir anlamda kendi geç üslubunu bu filmler yoluyla yaratıyor; ikincisi geç üslubun -dolaylı olarak ölüm fikrinin- sanat eserine yansıması düşüncesi öznellik ve yorum tartışmasını içeriyor. Bu tartışma da içten içe film çalışmalarında temsil politikalarına, anlamı göstergelerde arayan “yoruma” karşı bir eleştiriyi barındırıyor. Mulvey’in bu “geç eseri” hem geçmişe bakmanın belleğe başvurmanın ağırlığını ve biraz da melankolisini taşıyor, hem de güncelin popülist eleştirisinin “sinemanın ölümünü” ilan eden tüm serzenişlerin olumsuzluğuna hapsolmadan aksine bu dönüşümü kucaklayan, bitimsiz tartışmaların retorik örtüsünü kaldıran bir olumlamayla ilerliyor.Yayın CSR and social marketing as enablers of recovery after the global recession: The Turkish banking industry(IGI Global, 2018-01-01) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, MehmetCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new concept in Turkey. Leading companies including banks stress socially responsible activities in their marketing communications. The recent economic crisis put banks into the center stage again. Turkey was one of the few countries that emerged from the economic downturn relatively quickly. In the initial stages of the crisis, banks faced some criticism for protecting their self-interest more and not acting for the benefit of the society. Later, these criticisms got weaker and less frequent. This chapter examines the behavior of banks during the crisis with respect to CSR and social marketing. Particularly, the chapter analyzes how the banks behaved during the crisis and how they supported small and medium scale enterprises and local communities through CSR strategies, as well as how they utilized CSR efforts as a marketing tool. In addition, the outcome of these strategies is discussed.Yayın Advergaming - how does cognitive overload effect brand recall? Differences between in-game advertising (IGA) and advergames(IGI Global, 2017-01-06) Şağkaya Güngör, Ayşegül; Ozansoy Çadırcı, Tuğçe; Köse, Şirin GizemAdvergaming serves as a new and valuable form of online advertising, especially for companies that target young consumers. This study examines the impacts of cognitive overload with placement prominence on respondents' brand recall, recognition and brand attitudes. An experiment was conducted on a group of university students with an exposure to an advergame under low and high cognitive load stimulus. Results showed that brands that are placed prominently are better recalled in high cognitive load condition. However, cognitive overload doesn't have any significant effect on the recognition of the main brand in which the advergames is specifically designed. Moreover, there is no difference in recall of subtly placed products in low and high cognitive load conditions. However, there is a significant difference in brand attitude in different cognitive loads. The study both investigated the context of advergames and as well in-game advertising (IGA) situations. The results of the study have both practical and theoretical implications.Yayın Evaluation of wooden structures(Springer, 2019) Koca, GülruIn order to preserve the architectural heritage and sustainability of cities, the accurate evaluation of the mechanical properties of existing buildings is crucial. While inorganic building materials such as natural stones can be evaluated more easily, it is difficult to accurately assess the mechanical properties of wood. Mistaken evaluations of structural wooden members may lead to large-scale replacements in the maintenance and restoration of buildings. The techniques used in the evaluation of wood are; destructive, semi-destructive and non-destructive tests. Although destructive tests give accurate information about the mechanical properties of wood, they are not preferred in the evaluation of the existing structures because they cause the loss of structural integrity. The semi-destructive and non-destructive methods are being widely used for the last decades in the evaluation of structural wooden members. As these techniques do not give harm to the structural members, they allow the in situ evaluation of wooden structures. While semi-destructive tests are carried out with the extraction of a small piece without influencing the mechanical properties of wood, non-destructive techniques are carried out with the help of small devices in order to detect the interior defect and deteriorations. In this study, it is aimed to give information about some of the most used semi-destructive and non-destructive test methods.Yayın The repeat municipal elections of Istanbul, 2019: a new beginning for Istanbul and democracy in Turkey(Işık University Press, 2020-12-10) Celep, ÖdülThe Istanbul repeat elections held on June 23, 2019 re-solidified the electoral defeat of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in a major election. Earlier, the March 31, 2019 municipal election had already resulted surprisingly with the AKP’s loss of major provinces and metropolitan municipalities, Istanbul and Ankara in particular, to the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) and its party-allies of the Nation Alliance. The CHP’s candidate Ekrem İmamoğlu won even more decisively this time, with more than 54% of Istanbul’s voters. These wins in the municipal and repeat-Istanbul elections provide an opportunity for a new democratic onset in Turkish politics. The CHP-led municipalities of Turkey in general, and the Istanbul municipality by İmamoğlu in particular, have the potential to become the driving force of a new wave of democratization in Turkey. This policy paper aims to lay out clearly some steps to be taken for that direction.Yayın CSR and social marketing as enablers of recovery after the global recession: the Turkish banking industry(IGI Global, 2016-12-21) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, MehmetCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new concept in Turkey.

Wells' extraordinary dream world continue to captivate millions. While the limits of science today can be demarcated only through the human imagination, it was not all that different back in 1897, when this science fiction novel was first published. Wells' novel has in fact revived a subject that had been widely discussed in previous centuries which does perhaps fall under the shadow of alchemy. Much of what we know today that is possible through technology allegedly seemed to be conceivable primarily through alchemy or black magic before the positive leap forward in the sciences. Nevertheless, philosophers such as Sir Thomas More and Sir Francis Bacon may have raised the first serious concerns about science and ethics. The intersection of ethics and science is the core contact point, whereby the purpose and limits of science create a mutual entity. Especially recently, the ethics of science has been a topic of discussion following serious trepidations. The 'abode' of science in human life is undoubtedly undeniable. However, when massacres such as Hiroshima and Nagasaki are commemorated, it becomes necessary to reinvigorate the limits of science. As a matter of fact, "during the past decade, scientists, laypeople, and politicians have become increasingly aware of the importance of ethics in scientific research. Several trends have contributed to these growing concerns" (Resnik, 2005, p. 1). In that sense, this article purports to vigilantly explore the inevitable ramifications of science on man through the science fiction novel The Invisible Man and the ethics of science. This study will also explore how psychology structures moral values or ethics in science, and how psychological derivations constitute humans' actions through the theory of Transactional Analysis by Berne, the theory of Spiral Dynamics by Graves, and the Drama Triangle theory by Karpman, through the lens of the science fiction novel The Invisible Man.Yayın The porosity of borders: between formal and informal urban patterns(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2021) Cebir Meral, Gözde İrem; Özsoy, AhsenUrban spaces developed with formal and informal settlements that have varied permeability features are the places where any social, cultural and ethnic communities cohabit in a heterogeneous arrangement. Both formal/regular and informal/spontaneous modes of spatial production lead to changes in socio-economic and spatial relationships within the city. Planned and unplanned housing patterns intersect and are juxtaposed in time. The seam lines between the various parts of the patchwork-like settlements show different qualities in terms of transition characteristics, creating different patterns for the use of public and private space and spatial discontinuity. Therefore, fragmentation and disconnection are encountered between different social groups at the intersection of formal and informal residential settlements. The differences make the borders meaningful, however, to eliminate discontinuities in terms of creating quality urban environments; the boundaries should be more blurred, ambiguous and even seamless. Porosity/permeability characteristics of the borders as indicators of ambiguity strengthen the potentials of in-between space to increase communication and interaction providing urban fluidity. In the scope of the research, to analyze the connection/intersection of various formal/informal housing patterns in Istanbul in terms of their spatial and social dimensions, a comparative and mutual assessment is conducted. Creative approaches and bottom-up models of different countries related to the porosity characteristics of in-between zones are concluded along with the findings of the field study related to the theoretical framework.
