Governing Authority Through Bureaucracy: Conflicts Over Bureaucratic Cadres and the Rise of Authoritarianism in the Late Ottoman Empire (1908-1913)
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) İlter, Mustafa; İlter, Mustafa; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This article presents a historical analysis of how internal power struggles and conflicts among state actors can foster the development of authoritarian systems, particularly when a political network gains exclusive control over the bureaucratic apparatus through its authority over appointments and dismissals. Focusing on the intricate power struggles and factional rivalries surrounding gubernatorial appointments between 1908 and 1913, this article aims to provide an alternative approach to understanding how the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) became the dominant governing force within the state apparatus, enabling it to pursue an authoritarian agenda.

(dergipark, 2021) Leblebici, Asım; Leblebici, Asım; Mısırlıoğlu, Hüseyin Koray; Koçal, Gizem Çalıbaşı; Ellidokuz, Hülya; Başpınar, Yasemin; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Accurate survival prediction is crucial for advanced-stage patients to optimize treatment strategies and improve clinical outcomes. This study aimed to develop an artificial intelligence-assisted clinical decision support system (CDSS) for survival prediction in CRC patients using clinical and genomic data from the Cancer Genome Atlas Colon Adenocarcinoma Collection (TCGA-COAD) dataset. Methods: Machine learning algorithms, including C4.5 Decision Tree, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Random Forest, and Naive Bayes, were employed to create survival prediction models. Clinical parameters and genomic data from key pathways, such as glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and mTORC1, were integrated into the models. The models were evaluated based on accuracy and performance. Results: The Random Forest algorithm achieved the highest accuracy (82.3%) when only clinical parameters were used. When clinical data were combined with gene expression data, the model’s accuracy increased further. The resulting models were incorporated into a user-friendly web interface, SurvCOCA, for clinical use. Conclusions: This study demonstrates the potential of AI-based tools to improve prognosis predictions in CRC patients. Further research is needed, with larger datasets and additional machine learning algorithms, to enhance clinical decision-making and optimize treatment strategies.

General Purpose and Focused Invention, Market Value, and Productivity
(2024) Dindaroğlu, Burak; Dindaroğlu, Burak; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
We study returns to general purpose and focused invention at the firm level for a panel of manufacturing firms in the U.S. for the period 1976-1995, by studying their relationships with market value and Total Factor Productivity. We construct stocks of patents that lie at the two relevant tails of the distribution of the generality index (Trajtenberg et al., 1997; Henderson et al, 1998) to measure general purpose and focused invention at the firm level. In line with expectations, there is a market value premium to focused invention, and a productivity premium to general purpose invention. Estimates for the value of focus indicate that moving a single patent from the upper tail of the generality distribution to the lower tail would increase market value by .24×q million 1992 dollars on average, where q is Tobin’s q. The firm with the average general patent stock would gain 6.7×q million in market value if all its patents at the highest quartile of the generality distribution were moved to the lowest. In terms of the value of general purposeness, moving all its focused patents to the general category increases Total Factor Productivity by 2.3% to 2.8%, and five-year productivity growth by 3.9% to 5.2%, for the average firm. A potential implication is that corporate basic research is associated with significant long-term benefits in terms of productivity growth.
An Empirical Study of Sequential Offer Bargaining During the Festival of Sacrifice
(Elsevier, 2024) Dindaroğlu, Burak; Dindaroğlu, Burak; Ertaç, Seda; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
We report results from a unique data set of real -life bargaining transactions collected from the market for livestock (sheep) before the Festival of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) in Izmir, Turkey. This market is characterized by frequent and aggressive bargaining, which occurs in the form of sequential price offers. We record bargaining transactions as they occur, and collect detailed information on the bargaining environment, as well as on the characteristics of buyers and sellers. We also elicit each seller's outside option by means of an incentive compatible mechanism and obtain a reported maximum willingness to pay from buyers. We particularly focus on aspects of the bargaining process, such as non -price communication. In different types of empirical analysis, results robustly indicate that the presence and content of communication matters, for the likelihood of a sale as well as concessions made. Specifically, buyer -side communication is associated with larger concessions from the seller and a higher probability of sale. The presence of a mediator during the negotiation is associated with a higher probability of sale as well, while it has no effect on prices. We also provide results on the relative importance of groups of variables for predicting bargaining outcomes, which can provide directions for further research in bargaining.

Unwanted Others of the City: Counter-Cultural Production of the Roma People of Urla-Turkey
(Taylor & Francis, 2024) Uştuk, Ozan; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This article examines a case of urban displacement and its impact on the local Roma community by uncovering the discursive strategies of the local governments and the tactical responses of the local people. Based on two-year-long ethnographic research, this study aims to understand the intricate dynamics of the counter-cultural production of the Roma people as a response to gentrification policies of local governments. The rapid rise of the rent value of land has motivated the capital class to force an exile strategy on Roma and accelerated existing segregation policies. During this time, some discursive strategies to manufacture public consent about the gentrification have circulated to change the representation of the Roma identity, replacing their imagery in mainstream society by mainly signifying them as the undeserving poor. This research aims to understand how strategic discourses and actions have positioned Roma in the societal and cultural sphere and in response, how everyday tactics of the Roma engenders counter-cultural forms through intercultural communication.

Nkx3.1 Expression Contributes To Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition of Prostate Cancer Cells
(American Chemical Society, 2023) Saydullaeva, Iroda; Debeleç Bütüner, Bilge; Korkmaz, Kemal Sami
Studies demonstrate that inflammation synergizes with highgrade aggressive prostate tumor development and ultimately metastatic spread, in which a lot of work has been done in recent years. However, the clear mechanism of inflammation inciting prostate cancer remains largely uncharacterized. Our previous study has shown that the conditioned media (CM)-mediated LNCaP cell migration is partially correlated with the loss of expression of the tumor suppressor NKX3.1. Here, we continue to investigate the inflammation-mediated migration of prostate cancer cells, and the role of NKX3.1 in this process to gain insights into cell migration-related changes comprehensively. Earlier, the model of inflammation in the tumor micro environment have been optimized by our research group; here, we continue to investigate the time-dependent effect of CM exposure together with NKX3.1 changes, in which we observed that these changes play important roles in gaining heterogeneous epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype. Hence, this is an important parameter of tumor progression; we depleted NKX3.1 expression using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and examined the migrating cell clusters after exposure to inflammatory cytokines. We found that the migrated cells clearly demonstrate reversible loss of E-cadherin expression, which is consistent with subsequent vimentin expression alterations in comparison to control cells. Moreover, the data suggest that the AR mediated transcriptional program also contributes to mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) in prostate cancer progression. Furthermore, the quantitative proteomic analysis showed that migrated subpopulations from the same cell line presented different phenotypes in which the proteins overexpressed are involved in cell metabolism and RNA processing. According to KEGG pathway analysis, the ABC transporters were found to be the most significant. Thus, the dynamic process of cellular migration favors diverse genetic compositions under changing tumor microenvironments. The different levels of invasiveness are supported by shifting the cells in between these EMT and MET phenotypes.
İzmir'in bir dağ köyü: Yamanlar ve Yamanlar Yörükleri üzerine etnotarihsel bir inceleme

Bu çalışmada, İzmir kent merkezine çok yakın mesafede olmasına rağmen literaürde hakkında son derece sınırlı bilgi bulunan Karşıyaka ilçesine bağlı Yamanlar Köyü Yörüklerinin tarihi, dili ve köyün geçirdiği sosyal ve iktisadi dönüşüm konu edilmiştir. Köyün hemen yanı başında bulunan Osmanlı döneminden kalma köy mezarlığından ulaşılan bilgilere göre Yamanlar Yörüklerinin en az 400 yıldır bu bölgede varlık gösterdikleri anlaşılmıştır. Köyün bulunduğu Yamanlar Dağı aynı zamanda İzmir’in (Smyrna) kuruluşuna tanıklık eden antik dönemden kalan mirası sebebiyle de önem taşımaktadır. Kentin zamanla Yamanlar Dağı’ndaki yerleşim bölgelerine doğru gelişmesi, köyün sosyal ve iktisadi yaşam biçimini değiştirmiştir. Geleneksel geçim biçimlerinin yok olması, köylülerin yaşamlarını zorlaştırdığı gibi kültürel miras ögesi olarak görülebilecek pratiklerini de olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Çeşitli veri toplama yöntem ve tekniklerinden faydalanılan bu incelemede, köydeki gündelik yaşamı betimlemeye yönelik saha bir çalışması yürüttük. Bu çalışma kapsamında göre yöre halkıyla yarı yapılandırılmış ve yapılandırılmamış görüşmeler yapılmış, sözlü tarih incelemesi gerçekleştirdik. Bu yöntemle hem yazılı dokümanlar hem de sözlü verilerin analizi arasında bir denge kurmaya çalışarak Yamanlar Köyü’nün etnotarihsel bir tasvirini yapmak, geçirdiği sosyal ve iktisadi değişimi anlamlandırmak ve İzmir Yörükleri hakkındaki literatüre katkı sunmayı amaçladık.

Destined for Coal?: a "hierarchy of Harms" and the Prospects of Renewable Energy in Kosovo
(Springer, 2022-03) Aydın Dikmen, Bengü; Aydın Dikmen, Bengü; Buhari Gülmez, Didem; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Relying on interviews conducted in the summer of 2019 with parliamentary advisors, civil society activists, public officials and the EU, OSCE, and UNDP missions in Kosovo, this study provides an overview of the debates about the building of the new coal power plant by a US-led (UK-based) Company ContourGlobal. It discusses how different actors in Kosovo state and society approach the renewable energy question. An important obstacle against Kosovo's transition to renewable energy derives from the absence of consensus about the main threats and goals facing Kosovo. In this context, rationalist and constructivist stances imply different "hierarchies of harms". © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022. All rights reserved.
Eu as a Good (enough) Governance Exporter in Kosovo? Local Views on the Aborted Kosovo E Re Power Plant Project
(Springer, 2022) Buhari Gülmez, Didem; Aydın Dikmen, Bengü; Aydın Dikmen, Bengü; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This study focuses on the EU's perceived role in Kosovo as a good governance exporter through political conditionality. Local debates on the EU's stance towards the recently aborted coal power plant project (Kosovo e Re) reflect a disappointment with the EU's failure to prioritise good governance reforms that have not been implemented sufficiently in Kosovo. The study mainly benefits from interviews conducted in Pristina in 2019 in order to explore various EU, domestic and international factors hindering the EU's capability as a good governance exporter. Following the EU's limited transformative agency in contested states, it concludes that the EU is perceived by local actors in Kosovo as a "good enough governance" exporter that favours stability in the region and transatlantic partnership at the expense of good governance reforms. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

Field Experiments in Bargaining
(Springer, 2022) Dindaroğlu, Burak; Dindaroğlu, Burak; Ertaç, Seda; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Understanding price formation and surplus division in bargaining contexts has long been of interest to economists. Laboratory experiments contribute to our understanding of bargaining by inducing valuations and costs, which are usually unobserved in natural negotiation settings, and allow control over the negotiation process. Field experiments, on the other hand, allow economists to study bargaining in more natural contexts with higher external validity, and can be particularly useful when bargaining behavior draws on context-specific characteristics and experiences that may be stripped in lab settings or involves biases that would not surface under observability. In this chapter, we provide an overview of field experiments studying bargaining behavior and outcomes in a variety of settings, from bargaining for auto rickshaw to markets for livestock. We offer a methodological discussion, position field experiments in bargaining in the tradition of field experiments in economics at large, and highlight difficulties in the design and implementation of fieldwork for such environments. We also discuss potential areas and issues where future field experiments are of special importance for understanding price formation in bargaining. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.

Selfless Subjectivities That (re)build the Nation: Remaking the Modern Turkish Woman in the Early Republican Period in Turkiye
(SAGE Publications, 2023) Yakalı, Dikmen; Yakalı, Dikmen; Ataman, Bora; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
This study explores the newly constructed female identities of the Early Republican Era in Turkiye (1923-1945). Through a thematic analysis of three contemporary women's magazines (Aile Dostu, Ev-Is, and Asrin Kadini) it aims to examine how conceptualizations of marriage and family were refashioned in the magazines to fit in the images within the newly constructed domestic ideologies of the state. We argue that the selfless subjectivities offered by the magazines point to dialogically constructed narrative identities which are not stable but fluid. The women's magazines of the Era aimed to reconstruct new identities by representing the Republic's ideas and official ideology to its people. Thus, they became one of the tools of social engineering in the way of transforming the nation into a modern, Westernized one. Analysing these magazines help us identify the repertoire of subjectivities and narrative identities from which women drew while making sense of their selves during an era of transformation.

Network Analysis of Innovation Mentor Community of Practice
(Emerald Group Publishing, 2023) Altınışık, Günda Esra; Aydın, Mehmet Nafiz; Perdahçı, Ziya Nazım; Pasin, Merih
PurposePositive effect of knowledge sharing (KS) on innovation has come to the fore and government-supported innovation and mentoring communities or mentor networks have become widespread. This article aims to examine the community connectedness and mentors' preferences for professional competency-based KS of such innovation community of practice networks (CoPNs).Design/methodology/approachThe paper constructs a directed weighted CoPN model with a node-attribute-based novel fingerprint edge weights. Based on the CoPN, Social Network Analysis (SNA) metrics and measures including Giant Component (GC) were proposed and analyzed to identify mentors' connectedness preferences. The fingerprint was proposed as a novel binarized node attribute of competence. Jaccard similarity of fingerprints was proposed as edge weights to reveal correlations between competences and preferences for KS.FindingsThe work opted to conduct a survey of 28 innovation mentors to measure a CoPN. Both a name generator question and a second set of questions were employed to invite respondents to name their collaborators and indicate their professional competence. SNA metrics result in differing values for GC and the rest, which lead us to focus on GC to reveal salient metrics of connectedness. Jaccard similarity analysis results on GC demonstrate that mentors collaborate in an interdisciplinary manner.Originality/valueBased on the CoPN, the methods proposed may be effective in predicting preferred relationships for interdisciplinary collaborations, providing the managers with an analytical decision support tool for KS in practice.
Interpersonal Trust, Invention, and Innovation Across European Regions
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023) Dindaroğlu, Burak; Dindaroğlu, Burak; 01.01. Units Affiliated to the Rectorate; 01. Izmir Institute of Technology
Many studies in economics and regional science claim a positive link between interpersonal trust and innovation by demonstrating a positive effect of trust on patenting. This contrasts many findings from organization level studies on trust and innovation, who report a variety of findings including inverted-U type relations. A possible explanation is that trust exhibits different roles in invention and innovation, as the former relies on knowledge commons while the latter directly embeds commercialization and the market context. This study attempts to reconcile the two set of findings by studying indicators of invention and innovation in relation to trust at the same unit of observation, by using the regional variation in Europe. I study the relationship between interpersonal trust and patent applications (a measure of invention), trademark applications (a composite indicator) and the share of innovative sales in turnover by SMEs (a direct indicator of commercialization), across European regions. I show that trust positively affects trademark applications with an effect that is comparable to that on patent applications. However, trust exhibits an inverted-U type relationship with innovative sales. Results collectively point to a strong role of trust in all three creative activities, including a negative effect at the higher end when the indicator is directly contingent on commercialization and sales. I also estimate the extent of spatial spillovers in the effect of trust on all three creative outcomes. © 2023 Wiley Periodicals LLC.
Gezegensel Siyaset Manifestosunun ardından yeşil teorinin uluslararası ilişkilerdeki konumu

This article sheds light on the current debates on the Planetary Politics Manifesto in order to better locate Green Theory in International Relations. In particular, it aims to go beyond the problem-solving vs critical theories binary that is observed in the studies on the location of Green Theory in the discipline. Therefore, rather than comparing Green Theory with the mainstream theories of International Relations, it focuses on the complex relationship between Green Theory and major critical theories such as Constructivism, Normative Theory, Poststructuralism, Critical Theory, Postcolonialism and Feminism from the perspective of the Planetary Politics Manifesto.
