THE BLEEDING WOUND OF TURKISH INDEPENDENCE LITERATURE: THE BALKANS

The rebellion prompted in the Ottoman Army by the proponents of the Committee ofUnion and Progress in 1912 accelerated invasions, oppositions and wars in the Balkans resulting with the loss of Albania, Greece, Crete, Bulgaria, Serbia, Austria,Hungary and Romania by the Ottomans. Furthe rmore the out break of World War I following the Balkan wars, inevitably led the Turks to fight for their freedom and independence.Movements of thought such as Civilizationalism, Westernism, Ottomanism, Pan-Islamism, Turkism and Marxism influenced and changed both the society and the government as well as the language and the literature during the historical period between the reforms undertaken in the Ottoman state in 1839 and the years of the Turkish War of Independence. In the 19th century during the break up process ofthe Ottoman state, Turkism earned its special place among other movements and led to the awakening of the Turkish society in attaining its national consciousness.The land losses experienced in the Balkans and the thoughts of freedom and independence that caused these losses spreading out among different societies bond to each other under the Ottoman tie, were of great importance in triggering this movement. The philosophers of that period from Genc Kalemler to Nev-Yunaniler,from Rubabcilar to Nayiler, from Hecenin Bes Sairi to Sairler Dernegi, from Dergahto the independent (wo)men of letters all have contributed largely to the forming of Turkish consciousness by frequently expressing the effects of social decomposition,disintegration and subversion on the individual. Turkism initiated by scholars suchas Omer Seyfeddin, Mehmet Emin Yurdakul, Aka Gunduz, Ahmet Rasim, Halide Edip Adivar, Mufide Ferit Tek in language and literature, by Yusuf Akcura in the state government and Ziya Gokalp in social sense, then has evolved to rise further and together with the narration of the social and individual suffering undergone inthe Balkans, has played a highly significant role in the forming of Turkish Independence literature. However while experiences of the Balkans -playing the biggest role in the rise and development of Turkism and the establishment of Turkish Independence literature - have mostly been analyzed and reviewed in terms of political and social aspects, we unfortunately see that the consequences caused by these experiences that are observable in language and literature in terms of aesthetics, have never been put under debate in academic circles "ontologically".Hence by the use of examples picked up from several works in hand and in the light of the theories and methods of aesthetics - presenting the ontological structure of signs as it is and thereby shaping critical processes - this study is aiming to depict how the painful times of the Balkans were reflected on Turkish Independence literature from the period starting with the Balkan wars until the establishment ofthe state of the Republic of Turkiye

Studies on population changes and parazitoids of olive fly (Bactrocera oleae Gmel.) (Diptera:Tephritidae) in olive groving areas Aydin province and investigations on the control methods compatible with organic olive production

Bu çalışmada Aydın ili zeytin alanlarında Zeytin sineği (Bactrocera oleae Gmel.) (Diptera: Tephritidae)' nin ortaya çıkış zamanı ve populasyon dalgalanmaları ile parazitoitlerinin belirlenmesi ve ayrıca Zeytin sineğine karşı organik zeytin yetiştiriciliğinde kullanılabilecek mücadele yöntemlerinin etkileri belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır.Yapılan populasyon takibi çalışmaları sonucunda Aydın ili genelinde tüm örnekleme alanlarında Zeytin sineği populasyonu çok düşük düzeylerde seyretmiştir. Ancak, 2009 yılı çalışmalarında Umurlu'da Zeytin sineği populasyonu diğer yıl ve yerlere göre biraz daha yüksek çıkmış ve 30.10.2009 tarihindeki sayımlarda tuzaklardan birinde 307 birey/tuzak olarak saptanmıştır. Zeytin sineğinin parazitoiti olarak sadece 2 birey (Chalcidoidea) elde edilmiştir. Bu sonuç, Aydın ili zeytin alanlarında çok düşük bir parazitlenmenin olduğunu göstermektedir. Farklı cezbedicilerden diamonyum fosfat (DAP), amonyum bikarbonat, amonyum sülfat, amonyum asetat, nu-lure ve feromon denenmiştir. Bunlardan, diamonyum fosfatın (DAP) %2' lik konsantrasyonu en etkili bulunmuştur. Bu tuzakların, kitlesel tuzaklamada % vuruk oranını her zaman Ekonomik Zarar Seviyesinin altında tuttuğu görülmüştür. Bunun yanı sıra zararlıya karşı mücadelede kaolin, spinosad ve bakır hidroksitin etkileri araştırılmış ve yapılan denemeler sonuncunda sentetik pestisitlere alternatif olarak kaolin ve spinosad oldukça etkili bulunmuştur.The emergence period and population changes of Olive fruit fly (Bactrocera oleae Gmel.) (Diptera: Tephritidae) and its parasitoids were studied in this study. Besides, control methods compatible with organic olive production were investigated as well. As a result of studies on population monitoring, it can be concluded that Olive fly populations fluctuated in a very low levels. However in Umurlu in 2009, olive fly population emerged a little higher than the other years and sampling places, and 307 flies/trap were catched at 30.10.2009 in Umurlu. Two parasitoid individuals (Chalcidoidea) were found during the studies. It shows that the incidence of the parasitoids is very low in olive groving areas of Aydın province. Effectiviness of different attractants, such as diammonium phosphate (DAP), ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium sulphate, and ammonium acetate, Nu-Lure and pheromone was studied. DAP in 2 % was the most attracttive. Olive fly populations were controlled under economical injury level in all study sites by the traps with DAP in 2 %. In addition, it was also studied the effectiveness of kaolin, spinosad, and copper hydroxide, and the results were showed that kaolin and spinosad were quite effective

Online Participation and Dissent in Turkey: From the Gezi Protests to the 15 July Coup Attempt

How do people use smartphones and online social networks to participate in social movements? The role of online social networks in political participation has previously been made light of with concepts like ‘clicktivism’ and ‘slacktivism’ which emphasise the authenticity of all offline activity over online practices. This thesis challenges the concepts and terminologies that reflect the dichotomous understandings of the online vs. offline worlds by questioning the scientific validity of the exaltation of street over online participation. The project proposes a more integrated understanding of participation in politics through an overlapping of online and offline actions and consequences with the help of two case studies concerning the recent political history of Turkey, namely, the 2013 Gezi protests and the 2016 attempted coup. Video posts created by participants in each case have been analysed to understand videocapturing and posting strategies and how different content has been created in anti-and pro-government political situations. The findings from these studies are interpreted with reference to the legal trajectory of Internet technologies and online social networks in Turkey and reveal how this changing online landscape acts both as a perpetrator and a product of certain political participation strategies. By proposing the concept of ‘meta-activism’ as key to understanding the inevitable role of online actions in political participation in the contemporary world, this thesis aims to demystify the purist notion of activism as a street-based practice. This thesis also contributes to discussions about online vs. offline participation under unusual political circumstances by presenting a specifically non-Eurocentric perspective on the practices and consequences of online participation in politics as well as bringing together findings from two very distinct cases of political upheaval in Turkey’s recent history

Renewable Energy Financial Management in the EU's Enlargement Strategy and Environmental Crises

AbstractThe European Union's enlargement process has entered a new phase. The completion of the accession negotiations with Croatia opened the way to membership in mid-2013. In addition, for Turkey, accession process remains the most effective framework for promoting EU-related reforms, developing dialogue on foreign policy issues, strengthening economic competitiveness and diversifying supply of energy sources. Similarly, improved energy cooperation with the enlargement countries directly benefits European citizens and businesses.Energy interconnection is a key element in the EU's cooperation with all neighboring countries aimed at promoting sustainable economic growth, trade and cultural exchange, employment, as well as at improving living conditions.All enlargement countries have now embarked upon a path of recovery, though at varying paces. For instance, Turkey has emerged from the crisis with a bigger economy and its growth continues to be impressive, but there are increasing signs of overheating. The Western Balkan economies are also beginning to recover, though it will take some time for them to reach pre-crisis levels.Meanwhile, climate developments will affect financial positions through their direct impact on tax bases and spending programs, and more importantly, through the policies needed to mitigate climate change and adapt behaviors and production to the new environment. The present study aims to investigate the relationship between economic growth, energy intensity, and financial management and CO2 emissions in case of the EU

Blokzincir Üzerine Kavramsal Bir Öneri: İşletme Likiditesi Dağıtık Kayıt Defteri

Referring to the famous analogy which explains blockchain concept as “A wants to transfer money to B”, the study reverses it as “B wants to have trade credit from A” then the paradigm will rather be crediting instead of debiting. To what extent will a supplier allow trade credit upon request is a decision of accounts payable, but the extent to which a third party will offer more trade credit for the first borrower will require a reconsideration of that customer’s liquidity which is restricted by the accumulation of trade credit along with bank credit already held. The usage of trade credit and the level of bank credit are the main liquidity generators in a supply chain. The study reveals the need for a distributed ledger of liquidity based on trade credit by proposing the use blockchain technology to create zones of private distributed ledgers on liquidity. In the future, the suggested zones are expected to cooperate with government agencies and central bank in the challenge for eliminating informal transactions within the economy. Hence, trade credit in the short-term and relative liquidity indicators are presented in order to reveal the potential for an economy by giving evidence with the long-term data available in Turkey. The study depicts a conceptual proposal with the potential implications therein. Along with their blockchain challenge, the proposal in this study will strategically help the commercial banks which could consider investing on such a shared ledger of liquidity in terms of trade credits on firm-level.Çalışma, blokzincir kavramını “A, B’ye para transferi yapmak istiyor” şeklinde açıklayan meşhur analojiyi “B, A’dan ticari borç edinmek istiyor” şeklinde tersine çevirmekte ve böylece paradigmayı değiştirerek borçlanmaya yönlendirmektedir. Bir tedarikçinin; bir müşterisinden gelen talep üzerine hangi düzeye kadar ticari borç kullandırabileceği, bir ticari alacak edinme kararıdır. Ancak, üçüncü bir tarafın ilk borç alana açacağı ilave ticari borç veya kredi ise o müşterinin potansiyel olarak hali hazırdaki ticari borcunun ve/veya banka kredisinin birikimli düzeyleri ile sınırlandırılmış olan likiditesinin tekrar değerlendirilmesini gerektirecektir. Ticari borç ve banka kredisi bir tedarik zincirindeki temel likidite yaratıcıları olmaktadırlar. Çalışma, ticari borcu esas alan dağıtık bir likidite kayıt defteri gereksinimini ortaya çıkartarak, likidite konusunda özel dağıtık kayıt alanlarının yaratılabilmesi için blokzincir teknolojisinin kullanımını önermektedir. Gelecekte, önerilen bu alanların devlet kuruluşları ve merkez bankası ile ekonomideki kayıtdışı işlemlerin azaltılmasında işbirliği yapmaları beklenmektedir. Bu kapsamda, kısa vadeli ticari borç ve ilgili likidite göstergeleri ile bir ekonomideki bu yönde bulunan potansiyeli ortaya koyabilmek amacıyla Türkiye örneğinde mevcut uzun vadeli veriler çalışmada kanıt gösterilerek sunulmaktadır. Çalışma kavramsal önerisiyle ilgili potansiyel sonuçları ve etkileri de ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma ile getirilen öneri, özellikle ticari borç üzerinden firma düzeyinde burada ifade edilene benzer bir paylaşımlı kayıt ortamına yatırım yapmayı değerlendirebilecek ticari bankalara, blokzincirinin yarattığı gelişime karşılık vermenin yanı sıra stratejik yararlar da sağlayacaktır
