Beliefs of Living Donors About Recipients' End-Stage Liver Failure and Surgery for Organ Donation
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2017) Krespi-Boothby, Margörit Rita; Tankurt, A.; Acarli, Koray; Kanmaz, Turan; Yankol, Yucel; Kalayoğlu, Murat
Background. The concept of beliefs could provide a basis for how donors may perceive recipients' end-stage liver failure (ESLF) and surgery for organ donation. However there is no such quantitative study. Therefore the objective of this study was to explore beliefs of living donors about recipients' ESLF and surgery for organ donation. Methods. The sample comprised 16 living donors who donated a part of their liver to a patient who had ESLF. The data were analyzed by following established procedures for inductive qualitative analysis. Results. Analysis showed that donors' beliefs can be viewed in a number of groups. Beliefs about recipients' ESLF included diverse explanations for ESLF (blaming oneself and physicians) and physical symptoms (developmental slowing down). Beliefs about being a donor included reasons for being a donor (performing a good deed being healed) barriers to being a donor (other people being ignorant and selfish) ways to manage these barriers (following one's gut feeling) and factors facilitating being a donor (the feeling that one does not have many people to leave behind). Beliefs about surgery for organ donation included physical effects (pain feeling stiff). Beliefs about organ donation included views that general organ donation should be encouraged and that people's awareness should be raised. Conclusions. Existing psychological perspectives could help to interpret some beliefs. Nevertheless other beliefs not previously reported could be considered as targets for individual consultations/psycho-educational programs for fostering emotional well-being.

Heterogeneous effects of minimum wage on labor market outcomes: A case study from Turkey
(Walter de Gruyter, 2020) Orhangazi, Özgür; Tekgüç, Hasan; Tekgüç, Hasan
We assess the effects of a sharp minimum wage increase on wages, informality, and employment in Turkey, a large developing economy with one of the highest minimum wage-to-average wage ratios among OECD countries and widespread discrepancies between labor market outcomes of women and of men. We look at the quasi-experimental 2016 minimum wage increase and pay attention to identifying information coming from demographic groups. We find that the increase in the minimum wage had an economically substantial and statistically significant positive impact on wages. Despite the positive wage effects of the increase, we find no negative employment effects. However, we show that the minimum wage increase may have caused an increase in the share of informal employment among workers with less than tertiary education, especially for such workers working for small firms

Imperial legacies and neo-Ottomanism: eastern Europe and Turkey
(SETA Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, 2012) McDonald, Deniz Bingöl
This article examines whether the presence of imperial legacies in Central and South-eastern Europe affects their foreign policy stances and public opinion towards Turkish accession to the EU. It first discusses the boundaries of the ideational factors affecting the perception of Turkey namely the historical legacy of the Ottoman Empire as a European power in Eastern Europe. Secondly it looks at the ideational factors in how Turkish foreign policy more specifically Turkey's EU membership is perceived by Eastern and South-eastern European political elite and public. The author finds that in places where the Ottoman Empire is perceived in more historically distant terms the more positive or neutral views are of Turkish membership. It concludes with a juxtaposition of Eastern European stances with Turkey's new foreign policy strategies. It recommends that Turkish foreign policy should not neglect advocacy in the western part of the old Ottoman sphere of influence where new EU members lie. These may indeed by transformed into new allies to support Turkey's bid against the opponents among older EU members.

Literature of Immigration as a Literature of Europe
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2016) Schneider, Annedith
Any understanding of European literature that does not include immigrant literature results in an incomplete vision of literature created in Europe. As immigrant writers have sought to find a place for themselves and their writing the labels attached to that writing have been crucial. While such debates certainly have to do with the writers themselves and how they seek to have their writing read they also reflect an anxiety in Europe about what counts as European literature and not incidentally who counts as European. To examine these issues this article takes the example of the work of Franco-Turkish writer Sema Klckaya. In contrast to the usual French fear of communautarisme which signals for many the fragmentation of society along ethnic and religious lines the article argues that Klckaya's writing provides another model for national and European belonging one that depends perhaps paradoxically on sub-national and local belonging - in both the country of origin and the country of settlement.

Liver Transplantation: Recipients’ Evaluation of Life From the Perspective of Living Donors
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016) Tankurt, Aslı; Krespi-Boothby, Margörit Rita; Acarlı, Koray; Kalayoğlu, Mü nci; Kanmaz, Turan; Yankol, Yucel
Aim. Liver transplantation affects not only recipients and living donors' lives but also the nature and quality of their relationship. Moreover the ways in which recipients of liver transplant experience life and views of living donors on how recipients experience life may differ. These differences may account for relational changes. It is also important to understand how recipients and their living donors' views differ if the aim is to devise psychoeducational programs for recipients and living donors. Therefore the present study examined the recipients' experience of life after a diagnosis of end-stage liver failure (ESLF) and transplantation surgery from donors' perspective. Methods. The sample consisted of 16 living donors who donated a part of their liver to a patient with ESLF. Thematic analysis was undertaken in parallel with interviews during which an interview guide was followed. Findings. Donors felt that recipients evaluated life after the diagnosis of ESLF and transplantation surgery in terms of limitations mixed relationships emotional changes and improvement in life. Conclusion. Experience of social limitations negative emotions and the feeling that one is supported by others could be interpreted in terms of existing psychological theory. Some ways of adjusting that have not been reported before within the context of ESLF extended the literature. These included others being frightened of being infected by ESLF and being insensitive experience of positive emotions and ways of improving. Overall compared with findings of previous qualitative work among recipients our findings suggest that donors' evaluation of recipients' lives converge with that of recipients.

Neural substrates of cognitive emotion regulation: a brief review
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Öner, Sezin
The current paper aims to review the recent evidence on the neural correlates of emotion regulation. The review is organized into two main sections. First cognitive models that neuroimaging research is based on are introduced with a specific emphasis on the process-specific explanations of emotion regulation. In the second section neuroimaging research is discussed in line with the evidence from human and nonhuman animals. Existing evidence suggests that regulation of emotions may be achieved either by bottom-up subcortical or top-down frontal mechanisms. The former way acts on the initial phases of emotion generation whereas the latter appears to influence the higher-order structures for cognitive change and modulation of emotional responses. Although there is still an ongoing debate on when the generation stops and regulation starts on the emotion process with respect to neural mechanisms underlying regulatory strategies appear to be more consistent. Potential questions are also addressed for future research to contribute to especially the individual differences adaptive emotion regulation.

A new China: Media portrayal of Chinese mega-cities
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd., 2015) Sevin, Efe; Bjorner, Emma
During the last two decades China has started to leave its closed-door policies in the international arena behind and has shown signs of participating in the global economy. Politically and economically China has been developing further relations with the rest of the world. The country points to its mega-cities in its official 5-year plans to facilitate and execute the outreach attempts. In this article we analyze the media representations of two of these mega-cities - Beijing and Shenzhen - with the objective of understanding how their brand images are portrayed and whether these portrayals are in line with the Chinese objectives. We focus on the media representations by arguing that international print media is a crucial platform that has the potential to influence the brand reception of audiences. Consequently we analyze the volume and subject of Beijing and Shenzhen in English language Chinese and international print media outlets. We evaluate the coverage through a place branding framework. The findings of this research suggest the low-level and narrow coverage of the print media hinders the potential of these cities to become world-renowned centers and help facilitate Chinese interaction with the rest of the world.

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

Perceived Happiness, Perceived Trust and Perceived Income Levels: The Case of the Reunified Germany
(Savez Ekonomista Vojvodine, 2019) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Günay, Simge
This study explored the possible impact of perceived income on individual (perceived) happiness in Eastern and Western Germany in relation to perceived trust and four socio-economic variables, namely gender, age, marital status and employment status. To examine the relationship between these variables, a generalized ordered logit model was applied using the World Values Survey data. Bootstrapping and marginal effects were used to obtain a more robust model. The findings provided insights regarding the impact of perceived income and perceived trust on individual (perceived) happiness in both regions after reunification. Perceived income had a positive effect on all happiness categories in both regions. Perceived trust had a stronger positive impact on individual happiness than that of perceived income, although its significance varied across individual (perceived) happiness categories. Analysis of marginal effects revealed differences between the base models.

Personal and familial predictors of depressive feelings in people with orthopedic disability
(Termedia Publishing House, 2017) Harma, Mehmet; Selcuk, Bilge; Harma, Mehmet
BACKGROUND People with orthopedic disability experience limitations in physical ability which can cause psychological problems such as depressive feelings. This paper investigates the role of family environment caregiver characteristics and personal resources in the acceptance of disability and depressive feelings of persons with orthopedic disability. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE Data were collected from 161 Turkish people with orthopedic disability (mean age = 35.60 years SD = 10.18) and their family caregivers (e.g. parent spouse). The participants with disability completed scales for functional independence acceptance of disability family environment locus of control learned resourcefulness and depression. The family caregivers completed measures of social support their own depression burden of caregiving and acceptance-rejection of their care recipient. RESULTS Analyses via multivariate statistics and SEM showed that depressive feelings of individuals with orthopedic disability and their acceptance of the disability were predicted by multiple factors including the affected persons' learned resourcefulness and locus of control family environment and interactions with their family caregiver but not by their functional independence. CONCLUSIONS Overall a supportive family environment and acceptance of disability appear to lower the risk of having depression for individuals with orthopedic disability. Family caregivers' attitudes towards their care recipients were related to the family environment and feelings of burden appeared to impair the affected individuals' acceptance of their condition.

R&D Activity and Financing Constraints: Evidence from Turkey
(Savez Ekonomista Vojvodine, 2020) Orhangazi, Özgür; Orhangazi, Özgür; Yalçın, Cihan
We analyze the relationship between financing constraints and firms' R&D activity using a rich and comprehensive firm-level balance sheet and income statement data set of manufacturing firms in Turkey for the period 1996 to 2013. Using a firm-specific, time-varying financing constraints index, we find that financing constraints have a negative relationship with firms' R&D activity, after controlling for other determinants of R&D such as firm size, capital intensity and export market participation.

Rekabet ve İşbirliği İkileminde Yönünü Arayan Türk-Rus İlişkileri
(Ahmet Yesevi Üniversitesi Mütevelli Heyet Başkanlığı, 2015) Çelikpala, Mitat
Son dönem Türk-Rus ikili ilişkileri, işbirliği ve stratejik ortaklık söylemleri etrafında tanımlamaktadır. 1990’lı yıllara hâkim olan rekabet söyleminin yerini alan bu yeni bakış açısı, TürkRus ikili ilişkilerinin seyrinde temel bir dönüşüme işaret etmektedir. İki ülkenin ilişkilerini geliştirirken işbirliğinin boyutlanmasını sağlayacak hedef bölgesi olarak, 1990’lı yıllarda rekabetin en yoğun biçimde yaşandığı Avrasya’yı seçmesi ise, Türk Dış Politikasının genel çizgisi ve ikili ilişkilerin seyri açısından, yaşanan dönüşümün farklı bir yönüne işaret etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, Türk-Rus ilişkilerinde yaşanan dönüşümün sebepleri ve sonuçları hem söylem hem de eylem boyutunda ve tarihsel süreç dikkate alınarak sorgulanmakta; bu dönüşümün Türkiye’nin Avrasya söylem ve politikalarına yansımalarının yanı sıra, Türk kamuoyu ile dış politika yapıcılarının rol tasavvurlarında gerçek bir dönüşümün söz konusu olup olmadığına cevaplar aranmaktadır.

Remembering successes and failures: rehearsal characteristics influence recollection and distancing
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Öner, Sezin; Gulgoz, Sami
We investigated the relationship between components of rumination brooding and reflection and autobiographical remembering by testing whether voluntary and involuntary rehearsal mediated rumination-related variation in the sensory-affective and metacognitive features of memory experience. We focused on achievement and failure memories as both are goal-related events yet they represent distinct experiences in terms of valence and functionality. For failure memories brooding was associated with intense recollection and reduced psychological distance. Brooding was related to enhanced distance of achievements indicating the disruptive effects of brooding on remembering. Although reflection attenuated the recollective experience for both achievement and failure memories it brought achievement memories to a subjective closer past. Structural equation modelling demonstrated the mediating role of involuntary remembering on the pattern of remembering experience.

Rental Price Convergence In A Developing Economy: New Evidence From Nonlinear Panel Unit Root Test
(Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2010) Bilgin, Mehmet Hüseyin; Lau, Chi Keung Marco; Demir, Ender; Astrauskiene, Nijole
We examine the hypothesis of nonlinear rental price convergence using relative rental price index of three major cities of Turkey namely Istanbul Izmir and Ankara span from the period from January 1994 to February 2010. Our results indicate that all cities exhibit rental price convergence towards its national mean level for the period of January 1994 to December 2004. In contrast none of the cities show evidence of convergence from January 2005 to February 2010. The evidence clearly shows rental price divergence in Turkish property market.
