    1923-1964 kölelikten evlatlık kavramına geçiş ve Afro-Türkler üzerinden incelenmesi
    (Bilkent University, 2020) Yalçın, Talya; Aladı, Tuğçe; Işık, Elif Sena; Duymuş, Kevser Naz; Midilli, Aybala Dilşad
    Kölelik kavramı çok eski bir kavramdır. Köleler, sosyal hayatlarında normal insanlardan statü olarak daha düşük görülmektedir. Zaman içerisinde bu olgu neredeyse tamamen yok olmakla birlikte toplumlar üzerindeki etkileri hala görülebilmektedir. Osmanlı Devleti'ndeki kölelik olgusu Atlantik köleliğinden daha farklıydı. Statü olarak köleler ile diğer insanlar arasındaki fark daha azdı. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin kurulmasıyla birlikte kölelik kaldırılmış ve yerini evlatlık kurumu almıştır. Evlatlığın köleliğin yerini almasıyla beraber köleler ailenin bir ferdi olarak görülmeye başlandı. Fakat bu evlatlık alınan çocuklar ailenin normal çocuklarından farklı yetiştirilmekte hatta bazen ev işçileri olarak çalıştırılmaktaydılar. 1964 yılı itibariyle kölelik ve evlatlık gibi benzer uygulamaların tamamı Türkiye'de kaldırılmıştır. Fakat Osmanlı Devleti'ne köle olarak gelen Afrika kökenli birçok insan bulunmaktaydı ve bu insanların çoğu günümüzde halen Türkiye'de hayatlarını sürdürmektedirler. Aslen Afrika kökenli, Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşı olan bu kişilere Afro-Türk denilmektedir. Bazı Afro-Türk aileler, eski nesillerde köle, sonrasında evlatlık olarak Türkiye'de yaşamışlardır. Toplumların dayattığı sınıf farkı ve ırkçılık gibi olgulardan seneler boyu etkilenmişlerdir. Kölelik ve evlatlık kavramlarının kaldırılmasıyla şu anda normal hayatlarına devam etmektedirler. Fakat bu kavramların etkileri az da olsa günümüzde hala görülebilmektedir.

    An analysis of public policy intervention in the recognition and enforcement of Foreign Family Law judgments under Turkish Private International Law
    (Centre for Promoting Ideas, 2012) Canyaş, A. B.
    Respecting the judgments of other states and implementing the requirements of such judgments to the highest degree in the domestic area serves the general interests of international society. In Turkish law, one of the most important interventions which may set aside these interests is Turkish public policy. When it has been concluded that enforcement of a foreign family law judgment is contrary to domestic public policy, its enforcement is to be refused. Revealing when public policy intervention should occur and determining the criteria which require such an intervention are the main purposes of this paper. In this framework, it has been concluded limited and constant public policy intervention contributes to international family law. Another major conclusion is that the Turkish Supreme Court should amend its tendency to stipulate that certain subjects are directly linked to public policy.

    On the optimal timing of regime switching in optimal growth models : a sobolev space approach
    (2007) Doğan, Erol
    In this thesis, we derive the necessary conditions of optimality of regime switching in optimal growth models, and extend the already established results in the literature to cover the multi-stage infinite horizon models depending explicitly to the switching instant. To this end, we utilize standard techniques from calculus of variations, and some basic properties of Sobolev spaces. We compare our results with previously established ones. In an application, we analyze the determinants of timing of technological adoption, under linearly expanding technological frontier.

    Preferences in the willingness to download an mHealth app: Discrete choice experimental study in Spain, Germany, and the Netherlands
    (JMIR Publications, Inc., 2023-12-25) Folkvord, Frans; Bol, Nadine; Stazi, Giacomo; Peschke, Lutz; Lupiáñez-Villanueva, Francisco
    Background: Despite the worldwide growth in mobile health (mHealth) tools and the possible benefits for both patients and health care providers, the adoption of mHealth is low, and only a limited number of studies have examined the intention to download mHealth apps. Objective: In this study, we investigated individuals’ preferences in the adoption of a health app. Methods: We conducted a discrete choice experimental study in 3 countries (Spain: n=800, Germany: n=800, and the Netherlands: n=416) with 4 different attributes and levels (ie, price: €1.99 vs €4.99 [a currency exchange rate of €1=US $1.09 is applicable] vs for free, data protection: data protection vs no information, recommendation: patients’ association vs doctors, and manufacturer: medical association vs pharmaceutical company). Participants were randomly assigned. For the analyses, we used the conditional logistic model separately for each country. Results: The results showed that price and data protection were considered important factors that significantly increased the probability to download an mHealth app. In general, the source of the recommendation and the manufacturer affected the probability to download the mHealth app less. However, in Germany and the Netherlands, we found that if the app was manufactured by a pharmaceutical company, the probability to download the mHealth app decreased. Conclusions: mHealth tools are highly promising to reduce health care costs and increase the effectiveness of traditional health interventions and therapies. Improving data protection, reducing costs, and creating sound business models are the major driving forces to increase the adoption of mHealth apps in the future. It is thereby essential to create trustworthy standards for mobile apps, whereby prices, legislation concerning data protection, and health professionals can have a leading role to inform the potential consumers.
