YAPIBOZUM: BEDENİN BİÇİMSEL PARÇALANIŞI VE ALGISAL DÖNÜŞÜMÜ
(Güzel Sanatlar Enstitüsü, 2026-02-20) Şerife Barıç Sarıkaya; Seramik ve Cam
Postmodern art practice has been shaped by radically questioning traditional
aesthetic understandings and the fixed structures of form and meaning. The core of
this theoretical investigation is driven by the deconstructive framework drawn from
Jacques Derrida's philosophy. This concept aims to analyze established systems of
meaning based on binary oppositions (such as good/evil, male/female, whole/part)
and to subvert these hierarchical structures. Historically, the body has
predominantly been represented as an idealized and holistic form with a
predetermined meaning. However, with the Postmodern era, these uniform and
authoritarian forms of representation began to lose their validity. The deconstructive
approach strips the body of the social, cultural, and gender codes inscribed upon it,
transforming it into a multi-layered, fragmented, and continuously reinterpretable
domain of meaning production.
The reinterpretation of the body form through a deconstructive perspective focuses
on the potential that ceramic material carries as both a physical medium and a
conceptual form of expression in contemporary art, in the context of its relationship
with qualities such as fragility, transformation, and fragmentation. This study, by
utilizing the possibilities offered by the material character of ceramics and
transforming the medium into a conceptual means of expression, situates the
fracturing of idealized female and body representations beyond a mere formal
aesthetic choice, establishing it instead as a profound critical force against societal
norms and semantic rigidity. The research provides a theoretical foundation for
personal ceramic artworks produced with a perspective that handles deconstruction
beyond a mere analytical tool, adopting it instead as a strategy of fragmentation and
iv
reconstruction. These artworks, embodied through the metaphors of negative form
and trace, allow meaning to be reproduced collaboratively with the viewer.
Three Essays on Food Security: Sustainable Development, Structural Drivers and Agricultural Price Dynamics
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2025) Tandoğan Aktepe,Nisa Şansel; İktisat
This dissertation constitutes of three essays that focus on the role of food (in)security in sustainable development, identifying structural drivers of food (in)security with the COVID-19 period and the determination of the factors influencing agricultural price changes by taking three distinct crises (Global
Food Crisis (2008–2009), also called the global financial crisis; Russia–Türkiye aircraft crisis (2015–2016), and the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2021)) into account. The first framework provides insight into the significant role of food security/insecurity in sustainable development. This chapter unbares the
vicious circle between the food security and SDGs because a factor can serve as both a primary cause and a trigger or outcome, even some factors can act as both the cause and consequence of a determinant.Initiating action on these interconnected factors can trigger a butterfly effect within that vicious circle,
potentially transforming it into a virtuous circle, ensuring the foundation for sustainable development.In the second study, we investigate to identify structural drivers of food (in)security with the COVID-19period, during which food (in)security emerged as a prominent global concern. The study was conducted on the 2004-2022 period and 138 countries and applied through System GMM model. Based on the six key factors (economic, governmental, agricultural, political, demographical and environmental) and one
external shock (COVID-19 pandemic), we provide a general picture of the topic and yielded striking findings about food (in)security. The findings we obtained reveal the importance of the lagged value of the prevalence of undernourishment, inflation, food production, rural population, cereal import
dependency and COVID-19 pandemic. Among them, the variables including the lagged value of PoU (prevalence of undernourishment), COVID-19 pandemic, food production, inflation and cereal import dependency from the most to the least influential have been determined as triggering and aggravating factors on the food insecurity. The rural population appears the only positive influence on food security in our analysis. Taking some measures and improvements grounded on better production, distribution,
income level, infrastructure and policies may exhibit considerable potential on production growth, stronger national food systems and thus reducing the severity of food insecurity. The third focal point of our study is to examine the determinants of agricultural price fluctuations in Türkiye between 2002 and 2021, with particular attention to the impacts of three major crises (Global
Food Crisis (2008–2009), also called the global financial crisis; Russia–Türkiye aircraft crisis (2015–2016), and the COVID-19 pandemic (2019–2021)) of different causes. To capture both short- and longterm dynamics,
the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model is employed. The findings indicatethat, among the selected agricultural products and potential explanatory variables, the most influential drivers of price changes are government effectiveness, regulatory quality, nitrogen use, water pricing,
money supply, exchange rate, and GDP, each within their respective categories.
Evlat Kaybı Yaşamış Annelerin Kaybettikleri Çocuklarıyla Süregiden Bağ Deneyimlerinin Ve Geride Kalan Çocuklarıyla İlişkilerinin Yorumlayıcı Fenomenolojik Analiz İle İncelenmesi
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2026) Kıyan, Büşra; Psikoloji
The death of a child is considered one of the most devastating experiences for a parent. It involves both the grieving process of the parents and the continuation of the relationship with any surviving children.During this process, parents may experience their relationship with both the lost and surviving children in different ways. The present study aims to explore in depth the grief processes of mothers who have lost a child, their relationships with their surviving children, and their experiences of maintaining a bond with the deceased child. Given the importance of subjectivity in the grief process and the parent-child relationship, the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a qualitative approach, was used. Indepth interviews were conducted with six participants, and the interviews were analyzed accordingly. As a result, three main themes were identified: "Journey through the labyrinth of grief: Mothers' Experiences of Loss," "Maternal Experiences with the Surviving Child After the Loss," and "Maintaining the Bond through Mental Representations of the Deceased Child". The results were discussed in relation to the existing literature on grief and loss. The results are expected to contribute to the literature on parental grief and provide valuable insights for clinical practice regarding parents’ maintain with both their deceased and surviving children
KRONİK OBSTRÜKTİF AKCİĞER HASTALIĞI FENOTİPLENDİRMESİ: ATOPİNİN ÖNEMİ
(Tıp Fakültesi, 2025) Gamze Göktaş; Göğüs Hastalıkları
Goktas, G., Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Phenotyping: The Importance of Atopy Hacettepe University, Faculty of Medicine, Thesis for Speciality in Pulmonology, Ankara, 2025. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stands as a major respiratory condition marked by diverse clinical features, calling for tailored treatment strategies. The goal of this research was to assess how common type 2 inflammation is among COPD patients and to contrast those with type 2 inflammation (type 2 COPD) against those without it (non-type 2 COPD) based on demographics, clinical signs, treatment regimens, exacerbation rates, and overall disease severity. This investigation involved 215 COPD patients monitored at the Chest Diseases Outpatient Clinic of Hacettepe University Faculty of Medicine. Participants were categorized into the type 2 inflammation group if their blood eosinophil count reached ≥300 cells/µL, if atopy was detected, or if those with counts ≥150 cells/µL showed use of high-dose inhaled corticosteroids alongside symptoms of seasonal allergic rhinitis. Evaluations included pulmonary function tests (PFTs), symptom assessments (mMRC, CAT, SGRQ), treatment approaches, histories of exacerbations, associated conditions, imaging results, and lab values. Data analysis relied on SPSS software, deeming differences significant at p<0.05. Results indicated type 2 inflammation in 56% of cases. Among the type 2 COPD cohort, inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) use—especially at higher doses—and combinations with long-acting beta-agonists (LABA) were notably more frequent (p<0.05). Exacerbation occurrences, along with antibiotic and systemic steroid prescriptions, appeared elevated in type 2 COPD, though these trends approached but did not fully reach statistical significance. Within the GOLD E category, bronchiectasis and audible rales were more prevalent in patients exhibiting type 2 inflammation (p<0.05). No meaningful variances emerged in symptom scores or spirometry measures across groups. Atopy prevalence stood at 10%. Overall, type 2 inflammation emerges as a frequent subtype in COPD, linked to better responses to ICS and heightened exacerbation risks. While atopy aids in classifying COPD phenotypes, it plays a less central role than eosinophilia. These insights highlight the value of biomarker-guided, individualized therapies for managing COPD. Moving forward, research should emphasize long-term monitoring and collaborative efforts across multiple sites to strengthen these observations.
İnternette Doğmuş Halkbilimi Ürünlerinin Metin Merkezli İncelenmesi: Caps Örneği
(Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2025) Kuşku, Nida; Türk Halkbilimi
This study aims to examine capses, a folklore product born in the internet environment, through a text-based approach. It questions how the historical-geographical method (HGM), developed by the Finnish School in the 19th century, can be adapted to cultural environment of the internet for the purpose of analysing internet-based folklore products. The study addresses how the unique archival nature of the internet can be utilized in obtaining folklore data and conducting text-based analysis. While HGM seeks to analyse folk narratives based on their historical, geographical, and structural features, the internet folklore research method developed in this study demonstrates how a similar analytical approach can be applied to the internet products. This method was successfully implemented on folklore products that emerged in online platforms. In this context, the production and dissemination environments of capses, their formal characteristics, and their circulation dynamics were examined, and their ur-forms (basic form) were identified. The recorded nature of the internet, combined with archival studies and compilations carried out in collaborative dictionaries, forums, and other platforms, allowed for the identification of the earliest capses and even their pre-formation stages. The methodology used in the study enabled access to data where textual and visual elements could be examined simultaneously. Furthermore, the study showed that visual folklore products can also be systematically analysed using text-centered methods, and that their basic forms can indeed be identified. The limitations of HGM regarding the identification of basic forms—one of its key criticisms—have been overcome thanks to the recorded nature of internet culture. The evolutional sequence of capses was revealed in detail, and their visual content could be traced back to their moment of creation, allowing access to the earliest examples in their structural lineage. This study is also the first in academia to address capses in such a comprehensive manner. Although the main focus is text-based analysis, the formal properties of capses, the profiles of their producers and consumers, their creation and dissemination dynamics, and the characteristics of the internet environment that enables their emergence to have been summarized to contribute both to the understanding and historical documentation of caps culture. While offering a methodological contribution to internet-centered folklore research, this study also draws attention to the cultural significance of capses, a folklore product that is now nearly obsolete. It demonstrates that the internet can be used effectively in folklore research and that products like capses can be located within cultural history through systematic methods.
