Zaman gazetesi köşe yazarlarının bir rol değişim göstergesi olarak Bourdieucü bağlamda söylemsel dönüşümleri (2011’den 2014’e)

Discursive Transformation of Zaman Newspaper Columnists as an Indication of Role Shift within the Context of Bourdieu Media contents shaped by the dominant power, present important material for the analysis of political and social relations. In this study, Zaman Newspaper columnists’ point of view about the journalists’ arrests that took place in March 2011 and in December 2014 is examined by the help of Bourdieu’s terminology (symbolic capital, field, habitus, doxa) that is used to analyse the impact of media and politics on each other. In this regard, discursive transformation in the articles is also questioned. It has been revealed that Zaman Newspaper which acted as a “technician of opinion” with the aim of carrying and legitimizing the discourse of the political power during the 2011 arrests has changed its position. This is mainly due to the transformation occurred in the symbolic capital of the newspaper following the changes in its relationship with the government. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the newspaper deprived of its doxasophus identity has started to question the doxa which it undisputedly accepted until then and to hold the opposition side. Les transformations discursives des chroniqueurs du quotidien « Zaman » en tant qu’indicateurs de changement de rôle sous une approche bourdieusienne Les contenus médiatiques modelés par le pouvoir dominant, représentent un matériel important pour l’analyse des relations politiques et sociales. Dans ce travail, nous examinons comment sont traitées les arrestations des journalistes qui ont eu lieu en mars 2011 et en décembre 2014 par les chroniqueurs du quotidien Zaman et les transformations discursives observées dans ce contexte, selon la terminologie bourdieusienne utilisée pour l’analyse des impacts médiatiques sur la politique et vice versa (le capital symbolique, le champ, habitus, doxa). Selon les analyses réalisées, il est possible d’indiquer que le journal, qui avait agit comme s’il jouait un rôle de “technicien d’opinon” au cours des arrestations de 2011 et qui visait la diffusion et la légitimation des discours du pouvoir, se trouve désormais du côté de l’opposition en raison des nouvelles stratégies issues des transformations de ses relations avec le pouvoir et en raison de la résistance de son habitus; il est également possible d’observer que le journal commence à questionner la plupart des doxa acceptés jusque sans discussion. Özet Egemen olanın güdümünde şekillenen medya içerikleri, siyasal ve toplumsal ilişkilerin analizine önemli bir materyal sunar. Bu çalışmada, Bourdieu’nün medya ve siyaset alanlarının birbirleri üzerindeki etkisini analiz etmede kullandığı terminolojiden (simgesel sermaye, alan, habitus, doxa) yararlanarak, Mart 2011 ve Aralık 2014’te gerçekleşen gazeteci tutuklamalarının Zaman Gazetesi köşe yazıları özelinde nasıl değerlendirildiği ve bu bağlamda gerçekleşen söylemsel dönüşüm irdelenmiştir. 2011 tutuklamaları evresinde bir tür ‘kanaat teknisyenliği’ rolüyle hareket eden ve iktidarın söylemlerinin taşıyıcılığını ve meşrulaştırılmasını hedefleyen gazetenin, iktidarla olan ilişkileri dolayımıyla sembolik sermayesinde meydana gelen dönüşüm ve habitusundaki direnme ile ortaya çıkan yeni stratejiler nedeniyle muhalif alana savrulduğu; doxasophus kimliğinden yoksun kalan gazetenin, o güne kadar tartışmasız kabul ettiği pek çok doxa’yı sorgular hale geldiği ortaya konulmuştur

The Protective Effect of N-Acetylcysteine Amide Against Paraquat-Induced Neurotoxicity

N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA) is a new antioxidant molecule with powerful radical scavenging properties. The aim of this study was to investigate neuroprotective effects of NACA against paraquat (PQ) toxicity in the midbrains of rats by using motor coordination tests and biochemical and histological analysis. Thirty adult Wistar albino rats were divided into three groups: Group 1: control (n = 10), Group 2: PQ (10 mg/kg) (n = 10), and Group 3: PQ (10 mg/kg) + NACA (100 mg/kg) (n = 10). NACA was administrated intraperitoneally 30 min before PQ injection. Performance was measured for a period of 28 days. The rotarod and accelerod tests were performed prior to and after the experimental period. After the experimental period, rats were sacrificed and midbrain tissues were removed. According to biochemical data, malondialdehyde levels exhibited a significant increase (P \u3c 0.05) when the PQ group was compared to the control group, whereas the NACA-treated group showed a significant decline (P \u3c 0.05). The total glutathione levels (P \u3c 0.01) and the glutathione peroxidase and butyrylcholinesterase activities (P \u3c 0.05) in the NACA treatment group were significantly raised compared with the PQ group. The main finding in the rotarod and accelerod tests was that the PQ+NACA group had improved motor coordination functions, whereas the PQ group had lost motor coordination (P \u3c 0.05). Our histological data were also outstanding and were consistent with biochemical and motor coordination results in terms of the protective role of NACA against PQ-induced neurotoxicity

Urinary tract infection and their risk factors association in renal transplant recipients

Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) remains one of the most common and major complications after renal transplantation. Objective: The study was undertaken to get an insight regarding the bacterial pathogen which is responsible for UTI in post renal transplant patients and their risk factors association. Methods: This was an observational study, conducted in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) from December 2010 to December 2011. Twenty- one renal transplant recipients were evaluated for UTl after surgery up to six weeks. Microscopic examination and culture of urine were performed in every pre-transplant period, 3rd POD, 7th POD, within six weeks and as per patient's clinical condition. UTI was considered when bacterial count wa

Journalism and politics in Bourdieuan context: newspaper journalists’ metamorphosis

In February 2011, Turkish police raided on OdaTV, accused of trying to launch a coup. Zaman newspaper did not evaluate it as an intervention against freedom of media. In December 2014, Turkish police raided the daily Zaman newspaper. At this point, Zaman newspaper writers evaluated this process as a violation of the freedom of speech. In this paper, we will explain the differentiation of Zaman newspaper’s evaluation of the arrest of the journalists in 2011 and in 2014.The main frame of the study is also designed around the concepts of sociologist Bourdieu’s terminology
