The focus of this study is on the challenges that police encounter while combating violence against women, serving as the implementing entity with roles and responsibilities defined by Law Number 6284, also known as 'The Law on the Protection of the Family and Prevention of Violence Against Women,' and other relevant legislation. Rather than delving into detailed legislative discussions, this article treats the legal context and legislation as political documents. The concept of 'frame conflicts,' a term within interpretative policy analysis, has been employed to explore issues such as the meanings police attribute to the problem in practice, how they implement the policy within the framework of their defined roles, and the difficulties they encounter in this process. While combating domestic violence and violence against women, the practices developed by the police in their professional socialization process and the meanings constructed through these practices provide a 'mapping architecture of interpretation and meaning,' regarding the implementation process of the policy as referred in the interpretative perspective, especially concerning the police. It is believed that this type of analysis will fill an important gap in the literature. A sequential explanatory mixed method has been employed in this study. In this regard, exploratory quantitative research was conducted to define the problem. Qualitative research, built upon the problem areas/themes identified through the findings from the quantitative research, was completed by following the constructivist research process defined by grounded theory.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of e-health literacy on preoperative anxiety levels and fears about anesthesia of individuals who will undergo surgery. The research was carried out with 219 patients waiting in the preoperative waiting unit. The Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety Scale (APAIS) was used to evaluate the preoperative anesthesia anxiety, the E-Health Literacy Scale was used to determine the e-health literacy, and the questionnaire form was used to determine the fear of anesthesia, which was created by using the items in the literature in previous studies on anesthesia fear. According to the results of the research, the three items that patients fear the most about anesthesia are; “feeling pain during surgery”, “feeling pain after the effect of post-operative anesthesia” and “waking up in the middle of surgery”. There is no significant difference in anesthesia-related fears of patients with low, medium and high e-health literacy, only a significant difference in preoperative anxiety scores between patients with low and high e-health literacy. Study results were interpreted as the ability of individuals with high e-health literacy to evaluate the data obtained through digital channels in terms of reliability prevents them from experiencing unnecessary anxiety based on erroneous information.

Sleep deprivation causes cognitive problems such as difficulty in establishing a cause-effect relationship, decreased problem-solving abilities, loss of concentration and attention. This study aims to determine the effect of sleep deprivation on interval, chord, rhythmic, melodic dictation skills and perception in students with Musical Hearing Reading and Writing (MHRW) activity, which has a high relationship with learning and memory. The experimental research was conducted with 18 students (14 men and 4 women) who volunteered to participate (Age: 22±2.1, Mean Body Mass Index: 24,6 ± 2.3). To determine the levels of effect of sleeplessness in the study group, the present experimental study made use of the pre-test – post-test model. Although the participants' pretest and post-test success levels were not statistically significant in intervals and chords (p> .05), a statistically significant decrease was found in rhythmic dictation and melodic dictation writing success levels (p < .05). These findings clearly show that sleep deprivation which negatively affected musical learning and memory consolidation significantly decreases the achievement levels of students in MHRW.

This study aims at examining and comparing the situational conditions, terms and resources that are effective in the choice of job-occupation and situations that make them happy in their job in the country of origin (the country they come from) and the host country (Türkiye) from which they migrate. In line with this aim, the phenomenology approach, which is one of the qualitative research methods, has been used in this study. Qualitative data obtained as a result of structured interviews with 16 refugees who came to Türkiye from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq, currently working in an organization or running their own business, have been subjected to content analysis. According to the findings of the study, it has been determined that the majority of the refugees (f=13) have different jobs in the country of origin and the host country, and the factors that affect their choice of job-occupation have changed. While the main factor that causes the choice of job-occupation in the country of origin is the orientation of the family and being raised in that occupation from childhood (f=6), in the host country, the job-occupation is a necessity rather than a choice (f=11), the obligation to look after the family and financial needs have been the source of the motivation to work in any kind of job. When the two countries are compared, it has been determined that the reasons for the happiness of the refugees in the work they do in the host country also change. The sources that make them happy at work in the country of origin are spending time with family, achievement, service to the country, passion for the work, financial gain, spirituality, dignity and trust. Resources that make them happy at work in the host country are financial gain, social support, autonomous working conditions, being helpful to others, equity, appreciation and spirituality.

Populism, as a political concept, has garnered substantial attention emerging as a subject of growing global concern. This bibliometric research seeks to investigate the prominence and trends of populism, with a specific emphasis in academic publications in Turkey indexed in Dergipark. The keyword "populism" emerged as the most effective, leading to the exclusion of other keywords from the analysis. The primary objective of this study is to observe the evolving role in academic publications. This analysis does not seek to comprehend the underlying drivers and consequences of populism on democratic values and institutions. Instead, it aims to contribute to the expanding body of knowledge about populism by providing a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scholarly works. Drawing upon data retrieved from Dergipark, a prominent repository of academic publications, this study will discern publications on populism and its related subtopics, aiming to identify patterns and shifts over time. As a result, this bibliometric analysis will not only underscore the significance of the concept of populism but also lay a foundation for further in-depth research on the topic. By concentrating on Turkey and utilizing data from Dergipark, this study endeavours to enrich the academic understanding of the rise of populism.

Sexual harassment against women is one of the important social problems addressed all over the world. It is a fact that has existed for hundreds of years, although the place and types of it change. Harassment has been transferred to the digital environment, as everything has become digital with the Internet. It is claimed that women are subjected to harassment while working or looking for a job. To investigate the prevalence of workplace harassment and harassment on online platforms used for professional purposes and its psychological effects on victims, an online nonprobability sampling survey on 245 white-collar women aged 20-40 working in the private sector was conducted. The results suggest that the harassment that women are most exposed to is cyber harassment. It has been observed that 73 women out of every hundred have been subjected to harassment on professional digital platforms. In the types of harassment experienced, persistent online dating requests, receiving unwanted romantic messages, sexual jokes and insults are the most common types of harassment. It has been revealed that the psychological and physiological effects of physical abuse are also seen in victims of cyber harassment.

The increase in the demand for digital skills has attracted attention in job postings published in the communication sector in recent years. The aim of this study is to reveal the frequently demanded skills and qualifications for the position of social media specialist, which is directly related to digital skills, in the context of Türkiye. For this purpose, descriptive content analysis was employed on 244 job postings published on Bigumigu.com and Mediacat.com, which publish the job postings of agencies in Türkiye. As a result of the analysis, it is possible to say that the most dominant demand of the job postings is experience in terms of years. Having agency experience, being fluent in English, being able to work in a team and having high communication skills are among the most demanded qualifications. Digital content management, digital advertising management, data analytics, design, reporting, and presentation skills are also among the most frequently requested skills. The most surprising result of the research is that agencies do not require a university education. It is important for universities to revise their curricula on the basis of these demands to respond to the needs of the sector and to train qualified graduates.

This study is aiming to reveal how the earthquake, dated February 6, 2023, with the epicenter of Kahramanmaraş, appears on social media. In the study, content analysis method was used, and a total of 500 images (still images with or without sound) shared with the hashtag "6 February" on İnstagram were examined and how the earthquake was reflected with these contents was tried to be determined. Shared images were classified under certain themes and recorded by counting. Then, the images selected as samples and the obtained numerical data were analyzed and interpreted qualitatively. This analysis enabled us to reveal the meanings and representations produced by the visuals. The results obtained in the study were also compared with the results of similar studies in the literature. As a result of the study, it was seen that the earthquake dated February 6, 2023 was heavily represented on social media with dramatic and manipulative posts.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology has been in growing use in healthcare to promote health via identification, prevention and treatment of diseases. The current study determined the perceptions and opinions of healthcare professionals (HPs) concerning the use and the pros and cons of AI. The study's quantitative arm included 233 HPs who completed the AI Pros and Cons Scale in İstanbul, Türkiye. The qualitative arm of the study included 11 physicians whose opinions were asked with interviews. In the quantitative arm, perception scores of HPs were high about pros and cons of AI, with higher scores favouring pros. In the qualitative arm, the majority of the physicians considered AI an indispensable assistant in their clinical practice, making clinical decisions faster, reducing workload and time consumption, and providing an early and accurate diagnosis. AI was not considered to fully replace the profession of HPs and final decisions would always be in the hands of physicians. There were also considerable concerns about overdiagnosis, insensitivity to emotional factors, and medical errors that might result from an insufficient amount of data. Currently, AI has already taken a long way in undertaking numerous tasks that once were only performed by HPs. This is particularly valuable for HPs to enhance their knowledge and capabilities.

This article elaborated on the possibilities of feminist interference to the reading of informal settlements. In so doing, we focused on a squatter settlement (Limontepe) in a metropolitan municipality (İzmir Metropolitan Municipality) in Turkey, and tried to interrogate the institutional, official history, based on city registers, parliamentary decisions and state and municipality archives. We argue that the way peripheral populations and/or marginalized groups are treated in official histories of nation-states leads to partial knowledge of the place. We propose that the knowledge collected, accumulated and exchanged through everyday lives of the inhabitants, past and present might be a viable option to check the official history writing and fill in the blanks therein. The article is an attempt to walk through feminist (auto)ethnography to tie the knowledge of the past to today’s placemaking practices. As feminist researchers we consider engaging in the everyday life practices of inhabitants as a way to participate in the dynamic knowledge production processes of the place.

In so doing, we focused on a squatter settlement (Limontepe) in a metropolitan municipality (İzmir Metropolitan Municipality) in Turkey, and tried to interrogate the institutional, official history, based on city registers, parliamentary decisions and state and municipality archives. We argue that the way peripheral populations and/or marginalized groups are treated in official histories of nation-states leads to partial knowledge of the place. We propose that the knowledge collected, accumulated and exchanged through everyday lives of the inhabitants, past and present might be a viable option to check the official history writing and fill in the blanks therein. The article is an attempt to walk through feminist (auto)ethnography to tie the knowledge of the past to today’s placemaking practices. As feminist researchers we consider engaging in the everyday life practices of inhabitants as a way to participate in the dynamic knowledge production processes of the place.","PeriodicalId":471658,"journal":{"name":"OPUS Toplum Araştırmaları Dergisi","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135131590","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
