EFFECTS OF MEETING SPACES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF A CONCEPT SELECTION TASK BY ENGINEERING DESIGN TEAMS

Given the increasing importance of collaboration and the resulting use of virtual tools, this research investigates the performance of engineering design teams using a concept selection task in three meeting spaces, face-to-face, 2D online and 3D virtual. Cisco\u27s WebEx and Sun Microsystems\u27 Wonderland were used as the 2D online meeting space and the 3D virtual environment, respectively. Twenty-four two-person design teams were formed and randomly assigned to the meeting spaces. Eight teams performed a cell-phone concept selection task in each meeting space. Four dependent variables were measured: task completion time, team satisfaction, self-evaluated quality and expert-evaluated quality. Following data collection, one-way ANOVA was used to analyze each variable to determine the differences, if any, among the meeting spaces. ANOVA results did not support rejection of the null hypothesis for any variable. These results suggest that 3D virtual environments support design concept selection tasks as well as 2D online meeting spaces and that both of these technologies are viable alternatives to co-located meetings when it is difficult or expensive to bring team members together for a co-located meeting

Paradigmalar değişirken toplumbilimleri öncelemek

Tarih başta olmak üzere toplum bilimleri alanına dair araştırma ve inceleme eksenli çalışmalar nicelik açısından olduğu kadar nitelik açısından da son yıllarda önemli bir gelişme göstermektedir. Bu durum kitap okuma, yazma-çizme merkezli kültürel eğilimlerimizin artışından/ zenginleşmesinden çok küreselleşmekte olan dünyanın genel gidişatının yanı sıra ülke içi siyasasında yetki sahibi olanların Cumhuriyet Dönemi ile eski Türk Tarihini (Kültürünü) bağdaştırmaya dönük tavrın/politikanın bir sonucu gibi görünmektedir

İslam hukuk tarihini İbn Haldun üzerinden okumak: İbn Haldun’un modern dönem İslam hukuk tarihi yazıcılığına etkileri

As an Ash‘ari and Maliki jurist, Ibn Khaldun’s various theories, ranging from economics to politics, sociology to philosophy, and history to literature have long been subject of inquiry by prominent scholars. However, his opinion on Islamic sciences such as fiqh, hadith, tafsir and their historical development have rarely been subject of investigation. This article aims to present Ibn Khaldun’s views on the history of fiqh and its impact on modern historiography of Islamic law through Muslim and Orientalist scholarship. The main framework of history of fiqh in his Muqaddimah gave both Muslim and Western scholarship of history of Islamic Law an opportunity to reconsider established views. After imperial politics and cultural impact of western countries on Islamic societies, Muslim scholars and intellectuals tried to find solutions for increased modern problems and intercept western challenge. As a result of this consideration, call for ijtihad arose among Muslim scholars. They used Ibn Khaldun’s concept of the history of Islamic Law in order to justify their thesis by periodization of the history of Islamic Law within the framework of ijtihad and taqlid. On the other hand, since the main concern of western scholars is the origin of Islamic Law, they applied his opinions to their approach to the early development of Islamic law. Although both Muslim and Orientalist discourses used his attitude for legitimating their conceptions, they did not consider his historical context.Bir Eş‘ârî ve Mâlikî fakihi olan İbn Haldûn’un ekonomiden siyasete, sosyolojiden felsefeye, tarihten edebiyata birçok alandaki teorileri üzerinde çalışılmakla beraber, İslamî ilimler ve bunların tarihlerine dair görüşleri ne yazık ki çok az araştırmaya konu edilmiştir. Bu yazının amacı İbn Haldûn’un fıkıh tarihiyle ilgili görüşlerini verip bunun modern dönem fıkıh tarihi yazıcılığına etkilerini Müslüman akademi ile ve Oryantalist İslam hukuk tarihçiliği üzerinden incelemektir. İbn Haldûn’un Mukaddime’de fıkıh tarihiyle ilgili sunmuş olduğu çerçeve, Müslüman İslam hukuk tarihi yazarlarıyla Oryantalistlere kendi tezlerine meşruiyet kazandırmak için önemli imkânlar sunmuştur. Özellikle Batılı devletlerin İslam coğrafyasındaki sömürge politikaları sonucunda gün yüzüne çıkan modern problemlere çözüm bulma çabasında olan Müslüman bilginler, ictihâd vurgusunu yüksek bir şekilde seslendirdiler. Bu çerçevede fıkıh tarihini de bir ictihâd tarihi olarak görüp onu ictihâd ve taklîd ekseninde dönemlendirdiler. Bunu yaparken İbn Haldûn’un seleflerinden farklı bir perspektifle ortaya koyduğu fıkıh tarihi yaklaşımından yararlandılar. Batılı İslam hukuk tarihçileri de temel problemleri olan İslam hukukunun kökeni meselesini incelerken İbn Haldûn’dan çokça istifade etmişlerdir. Her iki taraf da kendi teorilerini meşrulaştırmak için İbn Haldûn’un görüşlerinden azami derecede istifade etmekle beraber onun tarihsel bağlamını göz ardı etmişlerdir

Gender Imbalance: The Case of Women’s Political Participation in Turkey

The primary aim of this paper is to show the links between women’s demographic characteristics and their political participation. Focusing on low female participation in politics, we carried out a survey with 408 women living in Ankara, Turkey. The paper attempts to answer the following questions: What is the level of female political participation? What are the obstacles preventing female political participation? What is the level of female participation in political parties and Non-Governmental Organizations? What kind of links can be made between women’s demographic characteristics and their political attitudes and behaviors? What suggestions could be made to increase female political participation? Findings reveal that women’s active political participation in Turkey is not at the expected level. There are several barriers to their higher involvement. Women are still not independent of their families and are influenced by the politics of their parents and spouse. This can also be seen as a sign of patriarchy. Several suggestions are made to improve the existing situation
