Yayın Unnecessary bleeding, unnecessary suffering: normalcy and necessity of menstruation in promoting NovaSure (R)(Routledge, 2016-08) Erol Jamieson, MaralNovaSure (R) is an endometrial ablation procedure that destroys the inner lining of uterus to stop heavy bleeding. It is performed mostly on women entering menopause who are experiencing irregular and heavy bleeding. In this article, this biotechnology, promoted for women approaching the end of their reproductive life, is analyzed. The analysis is informed by a feminist science studies and medical anthropology background. The discourse of normal' menstruation and representations of menstruation in the promotional materials for NovaSure (R) are explored through a textual analysis of the NovaSure (R) website and patient brochure. The themes in the materials analyzed include the idea of getting back to life, normal' bleeding, and having a choice among different medical procedures and interventions. The possibility of getting rid of embarrassment that accompanies heavy bleeding is also emphasized. It will be argued that NovaSure (R) contributes to the redefinition of what is natural' and necessary' by combining the unnecessary period' idea of pills such as Seasonale (R), which is aimed toward women in their reproductive years, with the unnecessary suffering' idea related to menopausal complaints. While advertising the procedure, NovaSure (R) promotional materials co-construct the ideal user for the technology and reproduce the taboos and embarrassment that accompany menstruation.Yayın Secular but conservative? youth, gender, and intimacy in Turkey(Routledge, 2023-01-01) Özbay, Cenk; Erol Jamieson, Maral; Bağcı, Çiğdem; Özkaplan, NurcanThis article contributes to studies on youth in Turkey by exploring gender, sexuality, intimacy, and relationship practices among college students. Our findings show that there is change (a) towards greater gender equality; (b) about attitudes regarding family, sexuality, and romance; and (c) in understanding and experiencing gendered violence in the groups of students we examined. Progressive values appear to become more common among the participants despite the increasingly conservative tone of the political and cultural climate. However, traditional relationship patterns and norms, including the idealization of monogamous relationships, robust familial ties, and sensitivity for moral reputation, seem prevalent even though these were not associated with the ascendant politico-religious conservatism. By constituting ‘secular but conservative’ intimate selves and relations, our respondents approve the freedom and right to explore possibilities for others, and yet not immediately for themselves, as they preserve an unequivocal moral self.Yayın Does technology management research diverge or converge in developing and developed countries?(Elsevier Science BV, 2009-01) Çetindamar, Dilek; Wasti, Syeda Nazli; Ansal, Hacer; Beyhan, BernaThe main purpose of this paper is to understand whether the research of developing and developed countries in the technology management (TM) field converge or diverge in terms of topics, approaches, research focus, and methods. International trends are explored based on the comparison of developed and developing countries' academia, conducted through a content analysis of the main TM journals over the period of 1995-2005. The analysis of a random sample of 325 articles indicates a clear differentiation of major topics studied by developing and developed country academics. The paper ends with a call for future studies to focus more on the particularities of developing countries in order to enrich the TM literature by increasing our understanding of TM theory and its applications in developing countries.Yayın Digitally empowered: Psychometric validation of an instrument to measure patient reports of informational and decisional empowerment(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-11) Seçkin, Gül; Coşkun, İlkem[No abstract available]Yayın Is it possible to define a universal technology management discipline?(Bilgesel Yayıncılık San Tic Ltd, 2009-08) Ansal, Hacer; Aygören, Huriye; Ekmekci, Cavit UmutConsidering the diversity of needs and concerns in developed and developing countries, the evolution of technology management (TM) discipline would be expected to follow different paths to include different national experiences and unique needs of these countries. Whether this diversity is reflected in the mainstream TM research agenda is an important issue. Thus, the aim of this study is in two folds; first, to examine how the general research agenda of TM discipline has evolved in the academic research in a developing country context, namely Turkey, and next, whether this research agenda has converged or diverged with the patterns of mainstream TM research in international journals, by analyzing the Turkish academics TM publications both in the national and international scientific journals. The findings reveal that the TM discipline in Turkey indicates both divergent and convergent characteristics when compared with the results of recent studies about developed and developing countries.Yayın The effects of corporate ethical values and personal moral philosophies on ethical intentions in selling situations: evidence from Turkish, Thai, and American businesspeople(Springer, 2012-03) Marta, Janet; Singhapakdi, Anusorn; Lee, Dong-Jin; Burnaz, Huriye Şebnem; Topçu, Yusuf İlker; Atakan, Mukaddes Gül Serap; Özkaracalar, TuğrulThe goals of this study are to test a pattern of ethical decision making that predicts ethical intentions of individuals within corporations based primarily on the ethical values embedded in corporate culture, and to see whether that model is generally stable across countries. The survey instrument used scales to measure the effects of corporate ethical values, idealism, and relativism on ethical intentions of Turkish, Thai, and American businesspeople. The samples include practitioner members of the American Marketing Association in the U. S., and full-time businesspeople enrolled in executive MBA programs in Thailand and Turkey. The study is positioned within a fairly new stream that assesses patterns across countries, rather than differences between them, in a way that might be called "culture free." The results show a generally positive influence between cultural ethical values and ethical intentions. The results also indicate that the positive effect of corporate ethical values on ethical intentions is greater for managers with low idealism and high relativism. We also discuss the implications of our results for managers of international businesses.Yayın Infection of the invisible: Impressions of a tuberculosis intervention program for migrants in Istanbul(Springer, 2015-10) Yasin, Neşeriz Yeşim; Biehl, Kristen Sarah; Erol Jamieson, MaralThis paper reviews the experience of the Istanbul Tuberculosis Aid Program, which targeted tuberculosis (TB) disease in the growing irregular migrant populations of Istanbul. This experience illustrated the importance of community-based public health interventions when dealing with an infectious disease like TB among vulnerable groups. Our data is derived primarily from a qualitative study carried out with program stakeholders. We summarize lessons for success of ITAP as: (1) Strengthening impact and outreach of TB intervention among irregular migrant communities through involvement of multiple stakeholders (2) Increasing TB awareness through a community targeted approach (3) Increasing TB contact tracing and treatment success among infected irregular migrants, and, (4) Improving overall health seeking behavior of irregular migrants through empowerment and trust. Given these particularities we list our policy suggestions for revision of regulations regarding TB control and healthcare needs of irregular migrant populations.Yayın Age, gender and socioeconomic status differentials vs. clinical diagnostic criteria in self-rated health among older adults with cancer(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-02) Seçkin, Gül[No abstract available]Yayın Bilgi yoğun profesyonel hizmet firmalarında bilgi yönetimi: Türkiye'deki reklam ajansları üzerine bir çalışma(Bilgesel Yayıncılık San Tic Ltd, 2010-12) Şahin, Çiğdem; Ansal, HacerBu çalışma, bilgi yoğun hizmet üreten firmaların performanslarına etki eden bilgi ile ilgili faktörleri ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Günümüz ekonomisinde firmaların en önemli stratejik gücü olarak değerlendirilen bilginin özellikle bilgi yoğun hizmetlerde yönetimi detaylı bir analizi gerektirmektedir (Grant, 1996). Bu çalışmada firmanın bilgiye ulaşım, bilgiyi paylaşım ve bilgi biriktirme yöntemlerinin firmanın performansı ile ilişkisi firmanın yerli ve yabancı kaynaklı olması çerçevesinde araştırılmaktadır. Önemli bilgi yoğun sektörlerden biri olan reklamcılık sektöründe yürütülen araştırmada, Türkiye'de faaliyet gösteren farklı performans seviyelerine ve kaynağa sahip altı adet reklam ajansı ile örnek olay çalışması yürütülmüştür. Araştırma firmanın yerli veya yabancı kaynaklı olmasının, firmanın bilgisini ve onu rekabet avantajına dönüştürebilme becerisini etkileyebildiğini göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın bir diğer önemli sonucu ise farklı sektörlerde ve birçok müşteriye hizmet vererek kazanılan deneyimin bilgi yoğun firmalar için önemli bir rekabet avantajı sunuyor olmasıdır.Yayın Foresighting FLOSS (free/libre/open source software) from a developing country perspective: The case of Turkey(Elsevier Science BV, 2011-12) Yıldırım, Nihan; Ansal, HacerSince free/libre open source software (FLOSS) promotes collaboration and contributions from different parties in software production and innovation processes, it can create a unique opportunity for developing countries, by generating an innovative capability in software technology. To benefit from this opportunity, it is important to understand the strategic factors and future trends that affect the development of an efficient FLOSS economy in developing countries. This paper aims to examine the strategic factors and future trends that are likely to affect the development and deployment of FLOSS in Turkey. Based on the internal and external factors identified through the practice of technological foresight, a SWOT analysis will be carried out to identify the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats for Turkey in creating a competitive software industry that can benefit from the advantages of FLOSS. Accordingly, with regard to the required technical infrastructure, an innovative/competitive business climate, skilled human resources and support for institutional structures, policy suggestions are outlined here that could be usefully implemented by government, industry and universities.
