Reconnaissance and Discussion on Ground Motion Induced by the 2023 Türkiye-Syria Earthquake
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Towhata, I.; Çağlayan, P.Ö.; Tönük, G.; Erginağ, U.C.; Sendir Torisu, S.
This paper discusses the output from the damage reconnaissance conducted after the 2023 Türkiye-Syria earthquake. First, a large landslide occurred in a limestone gentle slope without much ground water. Second, the ground subsidence in the coastal area does not comply the the local soil conditions and other observed post-seismic situations. Third, the acceleration records exhibit stronger motion with longer period and shorter duration towards the western end of the causative fault and suggest supershear rupture. To understand these features of the ground motion, this paper proposes a hypothetical model that can reproduce these observations to a good extent. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Warning Notes in a Learner’s Dictionary: a Study of the Effectiveness of Different Formats
(International Journal of Lexicography, 2022) Çakar, Tuna; Nesi, Hilary; Nural, Şükrü
This study used an online correction task to explore the extent to which different types of warning notes in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English Online were heeded when users tried to correct errors in the use of L2 target words. The task was completed by 332 participants, yielding 1,819 answers produced after clicking on links to relevant entries. Warning notes were categorised in terms of their formatting features, but there were found to be inconsistencies in the way the dictionary associated different categories with different kinds of learner error. Participants judged warning notes with more visual enhancements to be more useful, but in the correction task the position of the warning notes also seemed to affect the degree to which the warnings were successfully applied. Different types of warning notes in learners’ dictionaries have not been examined previously in any depth, and the results suggest that some adjustments to formatting and placement might make them more effective.

State-Of Review of Transboundary Water Governance in the Euphrates–tigris River Basin
(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Kibaroğlu, Ayşegül
This article reviews the state of the art of transboundary water governance in the Euphrates–Tigris river basin, which is characterized by both political confrontation and cooperative institutional development. First, research on the physical characteristics of the basin is presented, with references to the literature on large-scale water development projects that underpin transboundary water interactions. Then, contending approaches to transboundary water governance are discussed, with specific references to the evolution of institutions. Finally, bearing in mind that transboundary water governance in the basin occurs in volatile political circumstances, current issues such as control of the water infrastructure by non-state violent actors and protection of water during armed conflict are scrutinized.

But the Poor Needed It More: Children's Judgments on Procedural Justice To Allocate Resources Between Two Candidates Equal in Merit, Different in Need
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Sıvış, Özce; Acar, Melike
The current study investigated children's judgments on procedural justice and its outcomes when the candidates were equal in merit but different in need. A total of 88 children (41 girls and 47 boys) aged 7 to 11 years were individually interviewed (Mage = 8 years 9 months, SD = 14.065 months). Results showed that, regardless of age, children tended to give educational resources to the resource-poor candidates. However, children's welfare considera-tion of the resource-poor candidates increased with age. Children also made differentiated judgments based on the resource type and treated educational materials as more necessary than educa-tional experiences. Children's age and socioeconomic status (SES) were associated with this differentiation. Younger and high-SES children were more likely to view the outcome of procedural jus-tice (i.e., drawing a stick) for allocating an educational experience (i.e., summer camp) as fair when the result favored the resource -rich candidate. Overall, findings revealed that children do not use a unitary form of fairness in the procedural justice context. The shift from strict equality to welfare concerns continues to develop over middle childhood. (c) 2023 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
The Impact of Organizational Gossip on Affective Organizational Commitment, Feelings of Loneliness, and Turnover Intention: a Mixed Methods Study
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2025) Kucuk, Burcu Aydin; Ucok, Dilek Isilay; Konuk, Hizir
This study examines the impact of organizational gossip on workplace outcomes, including affective organizational commitment, loneliness, and turnover intention, with a focus on differences between the public and private sectors. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research combines qualitative and quantitative data from surveys conducted with Turkish citizen partners and in-depth interviews with employees in both sectors. The findings reveal that positive gossip enhances social bonds and commitment, while negative gossip leads to loneliness and increased turnover intention, especially in the private sector where job insecurity is higher. The study introduces an integrated framework linking gossip dynamics to organizational processes. Practical implications suggest that managers should address negative gossip while promoting positive gossip to strengthen workplace relationships. This study highlights the dual role of gossip in shaping employee experiences and retention strategies.

Hematocrit Levels and Thrombotic Events in Patients With Polycythemia Vera: an Analysis of Veterans Health Administration Data
(Springer, 2019) Parasuraman, Shreekant; Robyn Scherber; Jingbo Yu; Li Wang; Dilan Paranagama; Sulena Shrestha; Başer, Onur
Patients with polycythemia vera (PV) have a high incidence of thrombotic events (TEs), contributing to a greater mortality risk than the general population. The relationship between hematocrit (HCT) levels and TE occurrence among patients with PV from the Veterans Health Administration (VHA) was evaluated to replicate findings of the CYTO-PV trial with a real-world patient population. This retrospective study used VHA medical record and claims data from the first claim with a PV diagnosis (index) until death, disenrollment, or end of study, collected between October 1, 2005, and September 30, 2012. Patients were aged ? 18 years at index, had ? 2 claims for PV (ICD-9-CM code, 238.4) ? 30 days apart during the identification period, continuous health plan enrollment from 12 months pre-index until end of study, and ? 3 HCT measurements per year during follow-up. This analysis focused on patients with no pre-index TE, and with all HCT values either < 45% or ? 45% during the follow-up period. The difference in TE risk between HCT groups was assessed using unadjusted Cox regression models based on time to first TE. Patients (N = 213) were mean (SD) age 68.9 (11.5) years, 98.6% male, and 61.5% white. TE rates for patients with HCT values < 45% versus ? 45% were 40.3% and 54.2%, respectively. Among patients with ? 1 HCT before TE, TE risk hazard ratio was 1.61 (95% CI, 1.03–2.51; P = 0.036). This analysis of the VHA population further supports effective monitoring and control of HCT levels < 45% to reduce TE risk in patients with PV.

When Words and Pointing Compete: Young Children's Referential Comprehension Under Uncertainty
(Elsevier Science Inc, 2025) Ates, A. Beyza; Kuntay, Aylin C.
The present research comprised two studies examining how 2- to 4-year-old children resolve referential uncertainty. Study 1 investigated first touches-objects initially selected or touched immediately-and takeaways-objects ultimately selected or given-as two distinct object selection behaviors, along with the verbal responses accompanying them. Study 2 explored how communicative context (i.e., preactivation of familiar object labels prior to object selection) and child characteristics (i.e., age, vocabulary knowledge, and selective attention) influenced children's referential strategies. Using a modified version of Grassmann and Tomasello's (2010) paradigm, two experimental conditions were implemented: In the Familiar-Familiar condition, when presented with two familiar objects, Experimenter 1 labeled one object to be given to Experimenter 2, while pointing to the other. In the Novel-Familiar condition, when presented with one novel and one familiar object, Experimenter 1 used a novel label while pointing to the familiar object. Results demonstrated that ostensive pointing was a stronger cue than verbal labeling in guiding children's object selections. Children modified their selections between first touches and takeaways in 17-34% of trials or verbally responded to the contradiction in 13-40% of trials. Furthermore, preactivation of familiar object labels and individual characteristics-particularly age and selective attention-were linked to variations in referential strategies. These findings highlight the complexity of referential resolution, where children integrate verbal and nonverbal cues, providing nuances about communicative development and insights about how it could be supported.

Mobilising Youth for Elections: Electoral Inclusion of Youth in Turkey Under Competitive Authoritarianism
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Uzun, Begüm; Keçecioğlu, Zeyno
Scholars have paid scant attention to how state-society relations are shaped in contexts where democratic and authoritarian institutions co-exist under new forms of authoritarianism. Furthermore, the realm of youth citizenship in such regimes is a nascent area warranting deeper exploration. This study draws on the case of Turkey to address these gaps by investigating why political parties, which previously marginalised young voters, have fervently mobilised youth during elections that paradoxically coincided with the process of autocratisation. We employ a content analysis of party programmes, election manifestos, and social media campaign content of major political parties, as well as secondary sources on Turkish and youth politics spanning from 1983 to 2023, to address this puzzle. Our analysis unveils three key findings. Firstly, transformative events such as the Gezi Park Protests and digital activism have invigorated youth political involvement, compelling both government and opposition parties to prioritise youth electoral engagement. Secondly, the shift from a parliamentary to a presidential system has heightened political parties' focus on securing the youth vote to win elections. Lastly, political parties strive to align youth political values with their own ideologies, and the process of election campaigning provides ample opportunities for such a goal.

A Strong Integer Programming Formulation for Hybrid Flowshop Scheduling
(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Ağralı, Semra; Ünal, A. Tamer; Taşkın, Z. Caner
We consider a hybrid flowshop scheduling problem that includes parallel unrelated discrete machines or batch processing machines in different stages of a production system. The problem is motivated by a bottleneck process within the production system of a transformer producer located in the Netherlands. We develop an integer programming model that minimises the total tardiness of jobs over a finite planning horizon. Our model is applicable to a wide range of production systems organised as hybrid flowshops. We strengthen our integer program by exploiting the special properties of some constraints in our formulation. We develop a decision support system (DSS) based on our proposed optimisation model. We compare the results of our initial optimisation model with an improved formulation as well as with a heuristic that was in use at the company before the implementation of our DSS. Our results show that the improved optimisation model significantly outperforms the heuristic and the initial optimisation model in terms of both the solution time and the strength of its linear programming relaxation.

The Professional Experiences and Training Needs of Probation Officers in Turkey
(SAGE Publications, 2018) Aydoğan, Ramazan; Ergin, Murat; Şahin, Banu Çankaya; Safi, Ommay Aiman; Tuncer, Ayşe Esra
Summary The current study uses a series of focus groups and participatory methodology to investigate the work experiences and needs of Turkish probation officers and their directors. All participants were employed at an office of Parole and Probation in Istanbul, Turkey. During the concurrent focus groups, officers (n?=?57) discussed their daily work experiences and needs (Phase I). A follow-up focus group was conducted (n?=?25) to discuss potential interpretations of the themes and generate solutions (Phase II), followed by a mini-focus group with the directors (n?=?5) to explore their experiences with the probation system and officer training (Phase III). Findings Officers identified needs for training, improvements of the work environment, professional support, and more thorough risk assessment tools. The follow-up focus group revealed that officers were highly motivated to improve their rehabilitative skills but felt constrained in supervising offenders in the punitive justice system. Several solutions generated through focus groups included mentoring programs to support novice officers, training programs to acquire interviewing skills, and team building activities and events to increase morale. Application The current study bridges the gap between officers and directors in the probation system and generates solutions to the occupational needs of officers. Researchers communicated those needs to the directors, and the study initiated action toward implementing rehabilitative training programs for officers with a particular focus on risk assessment and basic clinical skills. The study has direct implications for the improvement of probation practice and supervision in Turkey.

Consistency of Adults’ Earliest Memories Across Two Years
(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Gülgöz, Sami; Demiray, Burcu; Ece, Berivan
The consistency of earliest memories in content, dating, and memory qualities was investigated. A total of 84 (27 males; Mage = 24.93, SD = 1.36) adults reported earliest memories, estimated ages, and rated their recollections on memory qualities with a two-year time lag. At Time 2, their original reports at Time 1 were presented and they were asked to report whether the earliest memories they recalled at Time 2 were the same. Fifty-six per cent of the participants reported the same earliest memories and those remembering the same events had earlier memories than those remembering different ones. Although no significant differences were observed in estimated ages on the basis of mean ages, a predating bias of later memories and a tendency to postdate earlier memories were observed on the basis of a 48-month cut-off point. Thus, how the data is analysed is critical in detecting dating biases or errors affecting conclusions and interpretations about the dating consistency of earliest memories. Finally, memory qualities of earliest memories displayed a high level of consistency with a two-year time lag regardless of remembering the same versus different event.

Electric Vehicle Routing With Flexible Time Windows: a Column Generation Solution Approach
(Taylor & Francis, 2020) Taş, Duygu
In this paper, we introduce the Electric Vehicle Routing Problem with Flexible Time Windows (EVRPFTW) in which vehicles are allowed to serve customers before and after the earliest and latest time window bounds, respectively. The objective of this problem is to assign electric vehicles to feasible routes and make schedules with minimum total cost that includes the traveling costs, the costs of using electric vehicles and the penalty costs incurred for earliness and lateness. The proposed mathematical model is solved by a column generation procedure. To generate an integer solution, we solve an integer programming problem using the routes constructed by the column generation algorithm. We further develop a linear programming model to compute the optimal times to start service at each customer for the selected routes. A number of wellknown benchmark instances is solved by our solution procedure to evaluate the operational gains obtained by employing flexible time windows.

Gis-Based Assessment of Seismic Vulnerability Information of Old Masonry Buildings Using a Mobile Data Validation System
(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2021) Özsoy Özbay, Ayşe Elif; Ünen, Hüseyin Can; Karapınar, Işıl Sanrı
This study proposes a geographic information system (GIS)–based rapid visual screening approach for seismic vulnerability assessment of masonry buildings in culturally and architecturally important historical regions. Through the application of the proposed methodology, a prioritization strategy for seismic vulnerability assessment of the heritage masonry buildings in Galata, a historical center of Istanbul, Turkey, was performed. This approach is based on an integrated methodology including a data collection process conducted through visual inspections and standard survey forms filled on site, generation of a georeferenced building database enabling the calculations and mapping of the vulnerability scores, and camera-based data validation process. The validation process provides an online collaborative mobile mapping system through georeferenced images gathered from the field. By the updatable data validation process, the reliability and efficiency of the GIS-based building database are enhanced by minimizing the errors during the visual screening and the cost of data correction due to reinspection is reduced.

Subjective Status and Perceived Legitimacy Across Countries
(John Wiley and Sons, 2020) Andrighetto, Luca; Croizet, Jean‐claude; Bocian, Konrad; Essien, Iniobong; Batruch, Anatolia; Autin, Frederique; Durante, Federica; Bukowski, Marcin; De Lemus, Soledad; Babincak, Peter; Conway, Paul; Bae, Jaechang; Easterbrook, Matthew J.; Brandt, Mark J.; Dragon, Piotr; Crawford, Jarret T.; Bourguignon, David; Butler, Sarah E.; Butera, Fabrizio; Chryssochoou, Xenia; Becker, Julia C.; Spears, Russell; Bodroža, Bojana; Forgas, Joseph P.; Badea, Constantina; Peker, Müjde; Degner, Juliane; Kuppens, Toon
The relationships between subjective status and perceived legitimacy are important for understanding the extent to which people with low status are complicit in their oppression. We use novel data from 66 samples and 30 countries (N = 12,788) and find that people with higher status see the social system as more legitimate than those with lower status, but there is variation across people and countries. The association between subjective status and perceived legitimacy was never negative at any levels of eight moderator variables, although the positive association was sometimes reduced. Although not always consistent with hypotheses, group identification, self-esteem, and beliefs in social mobility were all associated with perceived legitimacy among people who have low subjective status. These findings enrich our understanding of the relationship between social status and legitimacy.

Where Do We Go From Here? Is Responsibility Sustainable?
(2015) Wegge, Juergen; Pearce, Craig L.
In this special issue we have brought together a veritable ‘‘dream team’’ of thought leaders, and rising stars, from academia, consulting and the c-suite to address the ‘‘Leadership Imperative for Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility.’’ Clearly, the decisions and actions of individual leaders matter to the social performance and long-term viability of their organizations. Ultimately, activities such as formulating sustainability policies, engaging in community outreach programs, supporting social causes, or seeking alternatives to disruptive layoffs are the result of managerial decisions, and so are activities that are widely considered unethical, such as bribery, fraud, environmental pollution, and employment discrimination. While corporate executives are constrained in their ability to engage in these activities by corporate governance regulations, company policies, and the law, they have some degree of discretion in their choices. David Waldman, a noted leadership scholar, put it succinctly:‘‘Firms do not make decisions pertaining to responsibility or CSR; leaders do."

Exports, Real Exchange Rates and Dollarization: Empirical Evidence From Turkish Manufacturing Firms
(Springer, 2019) Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; Yalçın, Cihan
We attempt to uncover the relationship between the real exchange rates and exports shares of manufacturing firms in Turkey by taking into account FX exposures and various firm characteristics. We use a large panel of manufacturing firms to carry out an empirical analysis for the period 2002–2010. Contrary to macro-evidence, firm-level empirical evidence suggests that a depreciation of the Turkish lira seems to favor the external competitiveness of firms in general. We document that a real depreciation of the Turkish lira has a positive impact on export shares and its impact is muted to some extent for firms operating in sectors that use imported inputs intensively. In addition, we estimate that export shares increase as a result of real depreciation for firms having low (naturally hedged) and moderate FX debt-to-export ratios. We do not confirm a strong balance sheet channel where a depreciation of the currency may harm firms’ export performance due to currency mismatch. On the contrary, FX borrowing is estimated to support export performance probably due to undermining finance constraints.
Burdens of Masculinity Among Heterosexual, Gay, and Bisexual Men in Turkey: More Masculine, More Conflicted, Less Satisfied
(Springer, 2025) Toplu-Demirtas, Ezgi; Oztemur, Gizem; Keskin, Berat; Fincham, Frank D.
Although bivariate associations among masculinity ideology, gender role conflict, and life satisfaction have been documented in Western countries, they have received limited attention in Turkey. Moreover, the majority of peer-reviewed research on masculinity has focused on heterosexual men's experiences. The current study, therefore, explored the relationship between masculinity ideology and life satisfaction in Turkish men with gender role conflict as a mediator and sexual orientation (heterosexual men vs. gay or bisexual men) as a moderator variable. Data were collected online from 195 men (128 heterosexual, 53 gay, and 14 bisexual) between the ages of 18 and 42 (M = 25.39, SD = 3.53) using the Life Satisfaction Scale, Masculinity Ideology Scale, and Gender Role Conflict Scale. The moderated-mediation analysis revealed that masculinity ideology and life satisfaction were significantly associated via the mediator of gender role conflict. Both heterosexual and gay or bisexual men who adhered more to masculine ideology experienced greater gender role conflict and thus felt less satisfaction with life. After discussing the results and their limitations, recommendations for further research and practice are offered. We conclude that addressing gender role conflict in clinical work may be a profitable approach to increasing men's life satisfaction.
