Feminist/ nationalist discourse in the first year of the Ottoman revolutionary press (1908-1909) : readings from the magazines of Demet, Mehasin and Kadin (Salonica)

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Feminist/ Nationalist Discourse in the First Year of Ottoman Revolutionary Press: Readings from the Magazines Demet, Mehasin and Kadın (Salonica) This paper examines the emergence of a Feminist discourse and its evolution alongside with Turkish nationalism in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the Ottoman revolutionary press by focusing on the readings of Demet, Mehasin and Kadın, which appeared after the 1908 Revolution and provided an early debate for discussion of women’s rights in the context of the Turkist movement. This paper reveals the aspirations and forces, which shaped early Turkist feminist discourse and the way in which it contributed to the construction of “the new image of the Turkish woman”. Nationalism elevated women’s roles as mothers and wives and the emergence of a self-sacrificing, de-sexualized, patriotic image for women.Keskin, TülayM.S

Havuzlu ignimbri̇te (Niğde-Bor) geochemi̇cal, mi̇neraloji̇cal-petrographi̇c investi̇gati̇on of charecteri̇sti̇cs

Havuzlu-Bor (Niğde) yöresinde gözlenen ve Kapadokya Volkanik Provensi içerisindeki diğer ignimbiritlerle benzeştirilerek farklı adlamalar altında incelenen Havuzlu ignimbiriti ilk kez bu çalışma kapsamında detaylı olarak incelenmiştir. Havuzlu köyünün batısında kömür çökelimi saptanmış ve yapılan kömür petrografisi çalışmaları sonucunda tespit edilen framboidal piritlerin ignmbirit çökelimi ile eş zamanlı gölsel ortamlarda ve yer yer tüf çökelimlerinin de gerçekleştiği belirlenerek ve yörede Havuzlu ignimbiriti ile Havuzlu tüfü ayırtlanmıştıThe Havuzlu ignimbirite in Havuzlu-Bor (Niğde) which was resembled and named related to the other ignimbirites in Capadocia Volcanic Province is firstly investigated in detail. The Havuzlu ignimbrite and Havuzlu tuff were discriminated and specified in the case study area by the framboidal pirites which were determined by the coal deposition in near west of Havuzlu Village and the coal petrography studies as well as the simultaneous tuff deposition in lacustrine environments

The audıt system applıed ın turkısh armed forces and USA sample

Köylü Keskin, Meltem (Aksaray, Yazar)Çalışmanın konusunu Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri’nin yürürlükteki mevzuata göre yapılan iç denetim ile uluslararası standartlar çerçevesinde Sayıştay tarafından yapılan dış denetim oluşturmaktadır. Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri’ndeki bir ya da iki yıl için atanan subay iç denetçilerin, denetim görevlerini bitirmesini takiben denetlediği birimin başındaki komutanın emrinde yeni görevine başlama ihtimali vardır. Bu yüzden, iç denetim sırasında bağımsız davranamayabilirler. Çalışmanın metodu literatür taraması biçimindedir. Bu çalışma, bağımsız bir iç denetim hizmeti için Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nin ordu iç denetiminde kullandığı ordu denetim ajansını örnek olarak göstermekte ve Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri’nde objektif ve bağımsız bir iç denetim sağlayacak bir model önermektedir.The subject of this study is the internal audit which is implemented according to current regulations of Turkish Armed Forces and external audit which is carried out by Turkish Court of Accounts according to international standarts. Internal auditors are appointed by Turkish Armed Forces among military officers for internal auditing for one or two years. There is a probability that after completing their audit mission, the military officers may work under the commander of the unit which they audited previously. Therefore, they may not act independently during their auditing mission in the army. The method of this study is literature review. This study gives the US Army Audit Agency as an example for independence one internal auditing service, and proposes a model which provides an objective and independent internal auditing in Turkish Armed Forces

Evaluation of chromosomal abnormalities and common trombophilic mutations in cases with recurrent miscarriage

WOS: 000335444500034PubMed: 26060483Background: Recurrent miscarriage (RM) is a frequent obstetric problem. Its' pathophysiology is poorly understood. Infections, genetic, endocrine, anatomic and immunologic problems have been suggested as causes for RM. Objective: To evaluate the frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and 3 common thrombophilic mutations in couples with RM. Methods: A retrospective data collection was performed for the results of the cytogenetic analysis of the couples and Methylenetetrahydrofolate Reductase (MTHFR) C677T, Factor V Leiden (FVL) G1691A and Prothrombin (PTm) G20210A mutations of the mother in 142 couples suffering from RM. Results: Prevalence of FVL, MTHFR, and PTm gene mutations were similar between cases shaving 2 or >= 3 abortions (P=0.528; P=0.233; P=0.375). In patients with FVL, MTHFR and PTm gene mutations, the OR's of having >= 3 abortions when compared to having 2 abortions were 1.515 (95% CI: 0.414-5.552), 0.573 (95% CI: 0.228-1.441), and 2.848 (95% CI: 0.355-22.871). All cases with PTm mutation had >= 3 abortions and all abortions occurred between 6-8 gestational weeks. Conclusion: Chromosomal abnormalities and thrombophilic mutations (especially PTm) seem to have an important role in RM. Additional larger studies involving investigation of more genes that may have a role in pregnancy are needed to assess this association

Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Polymorphisms (Promoter-786T/C, Exon 894 G/T and Intron G10T) in Unexplained Female Infertility

WOS: 000332502000004PubMed: 24504178Background/Aims: Recent investigations in both males and females show that there may also be some genetic risk factors associated with infertility, and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) has important functions in implantation. We aimed to investigate the association of three different polymorphisms of eNOS (promoter -786T/C, exon 894 G/T and intron G10T) with unexplained female infertility. Materials and Methods: Two groups of patients were included in the study: (1) women with unexplained infertility and (2) healthy, fertile women with normal menstrual cycles. eNOS polymorphisms were studied in genomic DNA of each patient by polynnerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method. Results: Forty-one women with unexplained infertility and 40 fertile women were included. Baseline physical characteristics and hormonal parameters of the two groups were similar. For eNOS exon 894 G/T polymorphism, the GG honnozygotes were significantly lower and the heterozygotes GT were significantly higher in the infertile group than in the control group (p 0.05). Conclusion: Altered eNOS protein caused by eNOS exon 894 G/T polymorphism might cause implantation failure, which may be a possible cause of unexplained female infertility. (C) 2014 S. Karger AG, Base
