Breaking the rules in interactive media design education
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2009) Özcan, Oğuzhan; Yantaç, Asım Evren; O'Neil, Mary Lou
In today's interactive media design it is difficult for a designer to create aesthetic innovations and to break free from ordinariness. The most important factor limiting interactive media design aesthetics is that education seems to be more focused on following traditional rules of interaction design rather than innovative approaches. These rules limit creativity and often relegate design students to producing ordinary interface solutions. This is especially burdensome for us as teachers. In order to address this problem we developed an education model inspired by Lars von Trier's film Five Obstructions. We call this model 'breaking the rules'. In the 'breaking the rules' approach students produce within a range of probabilities design problem solutions in cases of total or partial visual/auditory/tactile obstructions. The most important outputs of the model are (1) to make design student think/look outside of the ordinary (2) to produce unusual solutions (3) to maximise design solutions with sound.

Prayer bead gestures and television: A case study on cultural inspirations for interaction art education
(MIT Press Journals, 2009) Özcan, Oğuzhan; Akdemir, Emre; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Ayça Ünlüer, Adviye
The authors interactive design-art educators recount their experience in using cultural inspirations as part of student exercises. The authors found that although students proposed various design concepts drawing from the surrounding culture very few moved beyond experience design art. In order to remedy this situation without giving explicit direction the authors encouraged students to examine cultural habits and/or artifacts from their past or their current lives in the hope that this could generate innovative design ideas. One such project is the Prayer Bead Gesture Based TV Input Device. ©2009 ISAST.

We argue that the EU membership process has necessitated democratization in civil-military relations

Feminists' dilemma-with or without the state? Violence against women and women's shelters in Turkey
(Ewha Womans Univ Press, 2011) Toktaş, Şule; Diner, Çağla
This article aims to describe the achievements of the women's movement in the struggle against domestic violence in Turkey and the points of contention between the state and feminists regarding this issue. Our goal in analyzing the Turkish case of violence against women is to reflect on how women's organizations work with the state; what they demand from it; and how they respond to the complex situations and dilemmas of state funded women's shelters. The article is based on field research; we used techniques of participant observation at annual congresses organized by women's organizations specialized in fighting violence against women and in-depth interviews with feminist activists, volunteers and social workers at women's shelters. It describes the experiences of feminists in Turkey, who are in the position of receiving support from and working closely with the state in running women's shelters.

Alevis and Alevism in the Changing Context of Turkish Politics: The Justice and Development Party's Alevi Opening
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2011) Soner, Bayram Ali; Toktaş, Şule
The Justice and Development Party (JDP Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi) has launched a rapprochement policy toward the Alevis. The JDP's Alevi Opening has presented a unique case in Turkey's latest identity politics not only because Alevi claims for the first time came to be involved in political processes for official recognition and accommodation but also because the process was handled by a political party which is regarded to have retained Islamist roots in Sunni interpretation. This article explores the JDP's Alevi Opening process and tries to explain the motivations behind the party's decision to incorporate the Alevi question in its political agenda. What is more the debate that the opening has caused is also under scrutiny with the positions and arguments held by the actors and the agencies involved in the process e. g. the Alevis (the secularist and the conservative wings) the General Directorate of Religious Affairs the National Security Council the JDP leadership and the Islamist intellectuals.

Effects of gender on credit card usage among university students in Turkey
(Academic Journals, 2011) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Cankaya, Serkan
In recent years much has been written about credit card usage among university students. Despite a vast number of studies little has been written about credit card usage among university students in developing countries. This research surveyed university students in Turkey in an attempt to understand their uses of credit cards. In particular we examined the impact of gender on credit card use. The literature on the impact of gender on credit card usage is a bit unsettled and this study seeks to add another dimension to the research in this area. Using both parametric and nonparametric measures we sought to isolate gender and tested whether or not it affects the ways that young people in Turkey use credit cards. The importance of this research centers on the portrait it provides of credit card usage among young people in a developing country as well as to pointing the factors that may influence future credit card use.

State autonomy and neoliberal transition: A case study Turkey: 1980-2001
(2011) Diner, Çağla
Much has been written about the neoliberal revolution that originated in the Northern countries in the 1970s and since then has spread to all countries in the world to a greater or lesser extent. The aim of this paper is to give an account of Turkey's relationship with neoliberalism between 1980 and 2001 which has been a rather troubled relationship. In this paper I argue that the neoliberal policies cannot be implemented in a state unless the class forces allow such an establishment. In spite of the fact that the military and the largest section of the bourgeoisie had a smooth alliance in the beginning of the liberalization period the Turkish state could not continue implementing the neoliberal project because of the conflicts the initial liberalization created between the capitalist classes and the resistances it invoked from the working classes which could have become threatening for the state due to the existence of a strong national liberation movement. So it is impossible to understand Southern governments' relationship with neoliberalism without taking into account the state's ever changing relationship with different segments of the population and its multiple roles as a territorial organization as well as a participant in the global capitalist economy.

Foreign policy during 2011 parliamentary elections in Turkey: both an ıssue and non-issue
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Yanık, Lerna K.
This article focuses on the foreign policy sections of 2011 election manifestos of the Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi (Justice and Development Party) (AKP) the Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi (Republican People's Party) (CHP) the Milliyetci Hareket Partisi (Nationalist Movement Party) MHP and the Emek Demokrasi ve Ozgurluk Bloku (Labor Democracy and Freedom Bloc) (EDOB) the pre-election Bars ve Demokrasi Partisi (Peace and Democracy Party) (BDP). Foreign policy is both an issue and a non-issue for Turkish electorate because although foreign policy issues have almost no impact on voters choices the parties still continue to devote space to foreign policy performances promises and projections in their election manifestos. The analysis of 2011 election manifestos reveals that the AKP primarily envisions a Turkey with more commonalities with the East than with the West but yet ranked Turkey's relations with Europe and the West higher

Smuggling and trafficking in Turkey: an analysis of EU-Turkey cooperation in combating transnational organized crime
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2012) Toktaş, Şule; Selimoglu, Hande
Since the 1990s there has been a global proliferation of transnational organized crime (TOC). Turkey as a transit site between the East and the West has been one of the routes through which organized crime groups transport illicit goods in collaboration with other networks of crime. This paper investigates TOC in Turkey and maps out Turkey's role as a transit country in smuggling and trafficking. The paper also deals with Turkey's contribution to international efforts in combating TOC in light of its EU membership process. The European Commission's annual reports on Turkey's progress towards EU membership that highlight the achievements as well as the shortcomings of Turkey in combating TOC are presented. The paper argues that Turkey has introduced successful reforms and expanded its institutional capacities due to the progress it has achieved in the specific area of combating TOC as evidenced by the EU progress reports.

From the Atlantic pact to NATO: debating Turkey's location and function in the Turkish grand national assembly
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2012) Yanık, Lerna K.
This article using critical geopolitics as a framework analyzes identity formation in Turkey during Turkey's NATO accession. The main thesis of this article is that identity that is made through foreign policy discourse should not only be confined to debates about location culture and values but should also include a country's own perceptions about its international function. This article analyzes debates in the Turkish Grand National Assembly just before and after Turkey's NATO accession and it argues that though Turkish elites perceived itself as part of the West in terms of location culture and values this was not the case in terms of international function. By becoming the disseminator of the Western security understanding to the Middle East as part of the West Turkey during these years has started to carve itself a liminal identity. This limnality however was a covert one because Turkey perceived itself as part of the West in terms of location culture and values but assumed an in-between role in terms of function in the international system.

Atlantik Paktı’ndan NATO’ya: Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde Türkiye’nin konumu ve uluslararası rolü tartışmalarından bir kesit
(Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği İktisadi İşletmesi, 2012) Yanık, Lerna K.
Bu makale Türkiye’nin Kuzey Atlantik İttifakı’na (NATO) giriş sürecinde dış politika söylemleri aracılığıyla oluşan kimliği, eleştirel jeopolitik çerçevesinde irdelemektedir. Bu makalenin ana tezi ülkelerin dış politika yoluyla oluşturdukları kimliklerin sadece konum, kültür ve değerden ibaret olmadığı, bu denkleme bir de ülkelerin üstlendikleri uluslararası işlevin eklenmesi gerektiğidir. Türkiye örneğini değerlendirmek amacıyla Türkiye’nin NATO’ya girişinden hemen önce ve sonrasında Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nde (TBMM) yapılan çeşitli konuşmalar incelenmiştir. Varılan sonuç bu yıllarda konum, kültür ve değer olarak kendini Batılı sayan Türkiye’nin Doğu’ya uzanmayı görev olarak bellediği ve dolayısıyla üstü kapalı bir eşiksel kimlik yaratıldığıdır.

Öz yeterlilik ve hemodiyaliz tedavisi: Nitel ve nicel bir yaklaşım
(Türkiye Sinir ve Ruh Sağlığı Derneği, 2013) Krespi-Boothby, Margörit Rita; Salmon, Peter
Giriş: Öz yeterliliğin ölçülmesine yönelik teori temelli yaklaşım, hemodiyaliz hastalarının diyet ve sıvı tüketimi kısıtlamaları konusunda yaşadıkları zorlukları açıklamak konusunda yetersiz kalmaktadır. Amaçlar: Bu kısıtlamalar nedeniyle yaşanan zorlukların çeşitliliğinin tespit edilebilmesi, klinisyenlerin hasta görüşmelerinde hastaları yönlendirebilmeleri için bu zorlukların sayısallaştırılması için nitel ve nicel araştırmaların yönlendirebilmeleri ‘açısından’ bir araya getirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öz yeterlilik kavramı, diyet ve sıvı tüketimi konusundaki zorluklar üzerine temellendirilmiş ve elde edilen bulgular, karşılaştıkları her zorluğun üstesinden gelebilme kapasiteleri hakkındaki hasta algılarının sayısallaştırılmasını sağlayacak bir anket formunun hazırlanması amacıyla kullanılmıştır. Yöntem: Nitel çalışmanın örneklemi 16 hemodiyaliz hastasından oluşurken, nicel çalışma 156 hemodiyaliz hastasını içermiştir. Bulgular: Nitel bulgular, hastaların diyet ve sıvı tüketimine yönelik kısıtlamalar nedeniyle bir dizi özgül zorluk yaşadığını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bunların arasında pratikte yaşanan kısıtlamalar, başkalarıyla bir araya gelmek, hemodiyalizi diyete uymamanın telafisi olarak görmek, diyet ve sıvı kısıtlamalarından sıkılmak, rahatsızlık, duygusal sıkıntı gibi duygusal zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Sıvı kısıtlamalarıyla ilgili karşılaşılan en yaygın zorluk hastanın yemek yerken sıvı tüketme hakkının kalmamış olmasıdır. Diyet kısıtlamalarıyla ilgili yaşanan en yaygın zorluk ise diyetten sıkılmak olarak bildirilmiştir. Sonuç: Bulgular, temellendirilmiş öz yeterliliğin bütüncül bir olgu olduğunu ancak geniş çapta özgül zorluklar barındırdığını önermektedir. Tespit edilen zorluklar, diyet ve sıvı kısıtlamalarına uyum sağlamayı geliştirmek için gerçekleştirilebilecek eğitimsel müdahalelere bir kanıt temeli sağlamıştır
