What Is Neuroentrepreneurship? the Theoretical Framework, Critical Evaluation, and Research Program
(2021) Çakar,Tuna; Girişken, Arzu
As interest in entrepreneurship research to identify the possible economic development opportunities that entrepreneurs can provide, entrepreneurship research's objective tools are reaching their limits. Researchers in entrepreneurship are striving to discover new techniques and methodologies to answer questions about what makes a person an entrepreneur and perhaps identify and encourage an entrepreneur in the next step. Although a great deal of research has been done to answer these questions scientifically, traditional techniques have failed to produce the desired answers. For this reason, researchers working in the entrepreneurship field have recently been increasingly interested in applying neuroscience methods, especially after the proliferation of research fields such as neuroeconomics, neuromarketing, and neuropolitics. Although the population of neuroentrepreneurship research is gradually increasing, we cannot say that the field has been studied theoretically enough yet. In this article, a theoretical definition of neuroentrepreneurship is made, and a scientific framework is tried to be gained on the way to future research.
Dağlık Karabağ Sorunu: Ermenistan için Çözümsüz Çatışma Olmasının Nedenleri
(Milli Savunma Üniversitesi, 2015) Güleç, Cansu
The conflict between Armenian and Azerbaijan around Nagorno-Karabakh was violent between 1988 and 1994. Nevertheless, Nagorno-Karabakh dispute is regarded as one of the frozen conflicts, which has been witnessed for many years. In order to stop and contain the conflict, other states and international organizations advocated peaceful settlement. However, the problem went through a number of phases and has not reached a final solution despite of many years of negotiation under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group. In this context, the objective of this paper is to understand the main impeding factors that prevent peaceful resolution and establishment of a long-lasting peace for Armenia. As a framework to analyze the case of Armenia-Azerbaijan dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh, this paper uses the "constructivist theory", which explains national histories and identities as fluid, evolving, and formed over time, and which claims that it is mainly social relationships between agents, structures, and institutions that can lead to ethnic conflicts. Contrary to the primordialist approach, which treats ethnic groups as concrete and independent entities that exist inherently, the explanation of intractability within a constructivist framework constitutes the main difference. In view of this, government policies are also constructed according to interstate perceptions, expectations and the concepts developed towards themselves and others. As a result, rather than only including one-dimensional "ancient hatred" paradigm; "the problem of security", "image of enemy", "other countries" involvement with having interests in the region", and most importantly "internal politics" can be regarded as the contributors to intractability for Armenia.
An Analytic Look at a Language Course Design Model
(2017) Mutlu, Gülçin; Ece Sarıgül
This study aims to qualitatively examine and elaborate on the characteristics of the course design model devised by Graves (2000). Drawing upon the traditional components and principals of instructional design, Graves' course design model is innovative or different in that it has been more specially developed for language course design purposes and thus is believed to be more suited to the nature of language courses with its consideration of the main elements or characteristics of language teaching and learning processes. This descriptive study centers upon the seven main examination criteria, which are in fact the main procedures as suggested by Graves (2000). These are a) defining context, b) conceptualizing content, c) organizing the course, d) formulating goals and objectives, e) assessing needs, f) developing materials and finally g) designing an assessment plan. In this essence, each criterion was first introduced and explained in detail before the researchers extend their critical outlook into the functionality and practical use of the relevant steps and strategies recommended by Graves (2000). This critical analysis and review on the Graves' course design model revealed that the model employs the traditional components of the ADDIE generic and lends itself well also to be used in the other disciplines other than foreign languages. The final part of this report will provide suggestions as regards the potential application of the model specifically in English language curriculum development and more broadly in the curriculum and course development procedures pertaining to other discipline areas.

Determining and Evaluating New Store Locations Using Remote Sensing and Machine Learning
(Tübitak, 2021) Ünsalan, Cem; Turgay, Zeynep Zerrin; Küçükaydın, Hande; Höke, Berkan
Decision making for store locations is crucial for retail companies as the profit depends on the location. The key point for correct store location is profit approximation, which is highly dependent on population of the corresponding region, and hence, the volume of the residential area. Thus, estimating building volumes provides insight about the revenue if a new store is about to be opened there. Remote sensing through stereo/tri-stereo satellite images provides wide area coverage as well as adequate resolution for three dimensional reconstruction for volume estimation. We reconstruct 3D map of corresponding region with the help of semiglobal matching and mask R-CNN algorithms for this purpose. Using the existing store data, we construct models for estimating the revenue based on surrounding building volumes. In order to choose the right location, the suitable utility model, which calculates store revenues, shouldbe rigorously determined. Moreover, model parameters should be assessed as correctly as possible. Instead of using randomly generated parameters, we employ remote sensing, computer vision, and machine learning techniques, which provide a novel way for evaluating new store locations.

Eğitimde Küreselleşme: Türkiye’deki Uluslararası Öğrenciler Üzerine Bir Çalışma
(2024) Mutlu, Ceyhan
Bu çalışmanın amacı, küreselleşmenin eğitim üzerindeki sonuçlarını incelerken, Türkiye’deki uluslararası öğrenciler üzerine bir araştırma yapmaktır. Bu öğrencilerin sayıları, eğitim düzeyleri, bölümleri ve uyruklarına göre dağılımları Yükseköğretim Kurulu (YÖK) tarafından yayımlanan istatistiksel veriler kullanılarak ele alınmaktadır. Bu verilerin analizinde nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden biri olan genel tarama yaklaşımı kullanılmaktadır. Tarama yöntemleri, örneklem boyutunun büyük olduğu araştırmalarda sıklıkla kullanılan bir analiz yöntemi olmaktadır. Daha rasyonel sonuçlara ulaşabilmek için araştırmanın kapsamı son beş yılla sınırlandırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Türkiye'deki uluslararası öğrenci sayısının her geçen yıl arttığı gözlemlenmektedir. En fazla tercih edilen öğrenim düzeyi lisans olurken, en fazla tercih edilen bölümün ise işletme bölümü olduğu görülmektedir. Bu öğrencilerin genellikle Türkiye’nin komşu ülkelerinden, Orta Doğu ve Afrika ülkelerinden geldiği, ancak öğrencilerin mezuniyet oranlarına baktığımızda ise, Avrupa’dan gelen öğrencilerin daha başarılı olduğu gözlemlenmektedir.
A Comparative Analysis on the Relationship Between Institutional Environment and Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies
(2018) Karadağ, Hande
Institutional environment plays an important role in the quality and nature of entrepreneurial activities and the development of entrepreneurship ecosystem. The aim of this research is to evaluate institutional factors of selected emerging markets with Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index data. Findings of the study indicate that Turkey has one of the lowest scores among other emerging markets for the institutional variable of staff training and also has comparably low scores in venture capital, business strategy, and technology transfer. Results of the study show that except South Korea, all the selected economies have scored low on the institutional variable of gross domestic expenditure on research and development as a percentage of the gross domestic product. The study is expected to make valuable contributions to the literature with its novel approach of using comparative Global Entrepreneurship and Development Index scores for analyzing the institutional environment and entrepreneurship relationship in emerging economies.

Turkiye's Water Security Policy: Energy, Agriculture, and Transboundary Issues
(2022) Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül
Water security refers to the availability of adequate quantities and qualities of water for societal needs and resilient ecosystems in the context of current conditions and future global change. Achieving water security is directly linked to food and energy security, protecting and preserving eco systems, and addressing key vulnerabilities and risks from climate change. Good water governance –including transboundary cooperation– is a crit ical feature of any effort to achieve water security. Yet the concept of water security remains abstract and broad. In an attempt to make the concept of water security-relevant in practice, this paper delineates Türkiye’s water se curity policy and practices through institutional and cross-sectoral (energy and food) analysis. Specific attention is paid to Türkiye’s transboundary water security policies.
Nato and Public Diplomacy: Opportunities and Constraints of 21st Century
(SAM, 2021) Güleç, Cansu
The main objective of this paper is to explain and interpret the evolution of NATO’s public diplomacy efforts in terms of the opportunities and limi- tations of today’s globalized environment. Public diplomacy refers to the efforts of states and non-state actors to better explain their values to the world. It concentrates particularly on “soft power” tools, such as science, art, culture, sports and media that enable interaction between societies. Because NATO is widely associated with security and defense issues, it is important to understand how it responds to the developments of today’s diplomatic trends with its own public diplomacy and communication ac- tivities. As technology continues to change and evolve, NATO’s commu- nication strategies have faced new types of networks and platforms. Now celebrating its 72nd anniversary, the Alliance seeks to embrace and imple- ment a contemporary communication policy with new mechanisms. Within this framework, this paper will provide a definition of the concept of public diplomacy, and explore the historical evolution of NATO’s public diploma- cy agenda. NATO’s coordination activities and values, practical means of communication and their expected impact will be discussed.

Reforming Higher Education Finance in Turkey: the Alumni-Crowdfunded Student Debt Fund "a-Csdf" Model
(TEDMEM, 2016) Son-Turan, Semen
This study presents an innovative and sustainable system formobilizing Turkish university alumni to contribute to acrowdfunded pool repackaged as a student debt instrument withan elaborate performance tracking tool, various payoff structuresand income-contingent repayment schedules. The ultimate aim isto offer a remedy for the conspicuous global shortage ofalternative finance sources and various forms of aid to highereducation students in the short-term, and, through enablingequitable and egalitarian access to quality higher education,transforming society and enhancing economic development in thelonger-term. The model rests upon a six-dimensional frameworkand its infrastructure is facilitated by a newly emerged form ofdigitally enhanced financing, “crowdfunding”. The researchmethod involves content analysis and data triangulation forvalidation purposes to determine the sub-themes surrounding thehigher education problem in Turkey. The theme-driven keywordsare searched for on Turkey’s first original social network, EksiSozluk, to uncover trends and biases towards student loans, debtrepayment and associated concepts. Subsequently, the samekeywords are utilized in a Google Trends search volume analysis,and are finally validated by a focus group discussion. Thetheoretical framework to explain students’ attitudes towardsborrowing and loan repayment and the motivation behind alumniand charitable giving, rests mainly on behavioral economics. TheA-CDSF Model uniquely addresses the higher education financeproblem in Turkey and offers an easily implementable originalsolution for institutions and policy makers.
Neural Coreference Resolution for Turkish
(2023) Demir, Şeniz
Coreference resolution deals with resolving mentions of the same underlying entity in a given text. This challenging task is an indispensable aspect of text understanding and has important applications in various language processing systems such as question answering and machine translation. Although a significant amount of studies is devoted to coreference resolution, the research on Turkish is scarce and mostly limited to pronoun resolution. To our best knowledge, this article presents the first neural Turkish coreference resolution study where two learning-based models are explored. Both models follow the mention-ranking approach while forming clusters of mentions. The first model uses a set of hand-crafted features whereas the second coreference model relies on embeddings learned from large-scale pre-trained language models for capturing similarities between a mention and its candidate antecedents. Several language models trained specifically for Turkish are used to obtain mention representations and their effectiveness is compared in conducted experiments using automatic metrics. We argue that the results of this study shed light on the possible contributions of neural architectures to Turkish coreference resolution.
Are inflation expectations irrational in Turkey? Exchange rate pass-through analysis
(Journal of Financial Politic & Economic Reviews, 2023) Asfuroglu, Dila; Ertuğrul, Ayşe; Güneş, Gökhan Şahin
Are inflation expectations irrational in Turkey? Exchange rate pass-through analysisThis study investigates the rationality of inflation expectations in Turkey over 2011-2019 via exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) analysis. Relying on the assumption that the inflation rate and inflation expectations are going to change equally if the economic agents form rational expectations, we utilize the vector autoregression model with inflation expectations to quantify the ERPT to inflation and to inflation expectations. The results show that exchange rate shocks do not have the same impact on the inflation rate and inflation expectations over different horizons. In the short term, the inflation rate rises faster than the inflation expectations following unexpected exchange rate swings; however, they move in tandem after six months. With the time-varying analysis, we trace the evolution of the ERPT coefficients to characterize the nature of agents’ expectations. The findings document that the discrepancy between ERPT coefficients is persistent, inclining to chronic irrationality of expectations, with decaying degrees in the longer horizon, rendering adaptive formation of expectations over time.
The Future of Türkiye-NATO Relations in Light of the Strained Transatlantic Dialogue
(Seta Foundation, 2025) Kibaroğlu, Mustafa
This commentary aims to assess the impact of the changing approach of the U.S. under Trump's second administration on transatlantic relations, the future of NATO, its engagement in the war in Ukraine, and the prospects for further expansion toward the east. The paper also aims to shed light on how these developments may affect the future of Türkiye-NATO relations. While Türkiye remains a critical NATO member due to its strategic geography and military capabilities, domestic skepticism towards the Alliance has grown in response to unresolved disputes and perceived double standards. The commentary ultimately underscores that Türkiye’s future in NATO will depend on the Alliance’s ability to reconcile internal divisions, recalibrate its strategic vision, and balance Türkiye’s security concerns with broader transatlantic priorities. © 2025, SETA Foundation.

Heidegger's Conception of Poetic Dwelling Through Appropriation of History
(Beytülhikme Felsefe Çerçevesi, 2021) Keki, Başak
This paper explores the significance of poetic dwelling in Martin Heidegger's later thought in terms of its relevance to the essence of truth and his notion of the fourfold as world's disclosure. Heidegger emphasizes that the poetic provides us with a better understanding of our modern era, which is notable by the oblivion of Being. He regards history as a homecoming, which manifests itself when we remember that we are in a dialogue with the destining of Being. After clarifying the relationship between poetic dwelling and appropriation of history whilst referring to Friedrich Holderlin's hymn, "The Ister" ("Der Ister"), this paper argues that according to Heidegger, the precondition of participating in history is learning to listen and respond to the address of Being; which is only possible via the poetic which enables us to feel home and genuinely dwell on this earth.

Turkey's Green Imagination: the Spatiality of the Low-Carbon Energy Transition Within the Eu Green Deal
(Uluslararasi Iliskiler Konseyi Dernegi, 2023) Akçalı, Emel; Özel, Soli; Görmüş, Evrim
This article asks the extent to which the EU Green Deal influences the EU periphery today and builds on the spatial conditions of multiple, co-existing decarbonization pathways within the EU Green Deal while problematizing the 'green imagination' of Turkey as an immediate neighbour and a candidate country for membership in the EU. As such, it uncovers that the current low-carbon transition process in Turkey is prone to be shaped by the highly politicized energy market in an authoritarian neoliberal structure on the one hand, and Turkey's priorities in energy issues and hard security on the other. The findings further reveal that Turkey's efforts to use more domestic energy resources to meet its consumption needs might also interfere with its efforts and obligations to decarbonize its energy sector. The scrutiny into the low-carbon energy transition in Turkey accordingl contributes further insight into the consequences of the spatiality of such transitions in an authoritarian neoliberal context, and what other alternative policies can be imagined and put in practice. Thus, more empirical research is warranted to reveal the spatiality of the low-carbon energy transition across various geographical settings. At the same time, the article argues that both the EU and its partners such as Turkey should be weary of creating green utopias when redesigning their green-energy space since utopias tout court may not always stimulate large-scale change in a revolutionary way in terms of sustainability, feasibility, good practice, and inclusiveness in decision-making processes.

Stancetaking in Spoken Elf Discourse in Academic Settings: Interpersonal Functions of I Don’t Know as a Face-Maintaining Strategy
(Hacettepe University, 2021) Çiftçi, Hatime; Akbaş, Erdem
Our study examines interpersonal functions enacted through a stance marker in spoken ELF academic discourse. We specifically focus on investigating the functions of I don’t know in an academic speech event by embracing an interpersonal pragmatics and sociolinguistics perspective to figure out how it contributes to the act of stancetaking as an intersubjective activity. We have examined 14 interactions of doctoral defense discussions from the ELFA corpus. Our detailed discourse analysis of these doctoral defense discussions has revealed five distinctive interpersonal functions of the stance marker I don’t know allowing speakers to construct their stance and adopt a face-maintaining strategy in the ongoing spoken discourse: prefacing a suggestion, seeking acceptance, hedging/mitigating, checking agreement, and expressing uncertainty. Considering the highly-context dependent and context-regenerated functions of I don’t know, our study attempts to delve into the relational and interpersonal aspect of communication, and thus contributes to research in this strand by disclosing the interpersonal functions of stancetaking as an intersubjective activity with a particular focus on ELF academic discourse.

Les Conventions Préparatoires
(Istanbul University Press, 2024) Işıntan, Pelin
La phase précontractuelle est une zone grise, difficile à cerner et gouvernée par la liberté contractuelle. Les parties sont libres d’organiser leurs pourparlers conventionnellement et s’imposer des devoirs contractuels même en période précontractuelle. Par convention précontractuelle nous entendons un acte bilatéral qui vise la conclusion du contrat négocié. Puisque le Code des Obligations turc ne consacre pas une section spécifique aux pourparlers les parties ont grand intérêt à organiser cette phase et définir les règles à suivre et leurs comportements réciproques. Les parties peuvent former des actes précontractuels sous des formes et avec des contenus très variés. Nous allons nous limiter aux actes bilatéraux conclus entre les parties puisque nous examinons les conventions préparatoires. Par conséquent, les actes unilatéraux tels que la lettre d’intention envoyée par l’une des parties avec l’intention de débuter les pourparlers ne seraient pas traités dans cet article. Ainsi nous envisageons une étude sur les conventions précontractuelles en tenant compte de leur effet obligatoire. Dans un premier temps, nous traiterons les conventions qu’on pourrait appeler les contrats préparatoires qui créent un effet obligatoire pour au moins une des parties, et ensuite nous examinerons les conventions munies d’un tel effet.
Consumer Loans' First Payment Default (fpd) Detection and Predictive Model
(MEF Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2018) Sevgili, Türkan; Koç, Utku
The project is based on the opinion that whether the loan applications which are profitable could be granted instead of prone the default (FPD) ones by using predictive models in machine learning by the credit decision authorities in banking sector. Default Loan (also called non-performing loan) occurs when there is a failure to meet bank conditions and cannot be repaid in accordance with the terms of the loan which has reached its maturity. This report is a research effort in the analysis of default loan applicants, especially FPD, from a real dataset obtained from a bank. Expectation from the study is that increase the efficiency of consumer loan allocation by providing predictive analysis of the consumer behavior concerning loan’s first payment default. FPD detection analysis is a crucial role for the determination of consumer loans at the application level. The study also provides an understanding on the reasons of non-performing loans and helps to manage credit risks more consciously. The methods proposed in this study can be extended to other individual consumer loans such as car credits and mortgage.
