    Changing identity of space/place : the case of Bars Street in Bodrum
    (2006) Bilgenoğlu, Burcu
    This study is on changing identity of space/place. It addresses problems of space/place with respect to continuity and change. It attempts to establish and test a framework of tangible constituents through which real sites can be examined and which allow understanding and rendering the changes occurring in each of these constituents and their relationships over time. Based on a literature survey on space, place and identity, a conceptual framework in terms of physical characteristics of the built environment, functional organization and social characteristics is derived. Such a framework appears appropriate especially for sites where rapid functional re-organization is underway, while relative continuity in the physical characteristics is maintained. In this way, by exploring various aspects of these constituents, their interdependencies and effects, changes in the identity of space/place can be depicted, identified and examined. This framework is, then, employed in a case study comparing two different conditions of the same site. The framework is employed as a tool to (1) study these two conditions of the site in terms of continuity and change, (2) test the efficiency of the constituents in the examination of identity of space/place. Thus, diverse techniques, such as documentation, observation, spatial analyses, in-depth interviews and statistical analyses were used in a complementary way to explore and compare the given conditions. The findings of the case study supported the effectiveness of the selected constituents as tools for the study. In the course of the work, their relationships to and their effects upon identity of space/place were rendered and exemplified.

    Order of limits in reputations
    (Springer, 2016) Dalkıran, N. A.
    The fact that small departures from complete information might have large effects on the set of equilibrium payoffs draws interest in the adverse selection approach to study reputations in repeated games. It is well known that these large effects on the set of equilibrium payoffs rely on long-run players being arbitrarily patient. We study reputation games where a long-run player plays a fixed stage-game against an infinite sequence of short-run players under imperfect public monitoring. We show that in such games, introducing arbitrarily small incomplete information does not open the possibility of new equilibrium payoffs far from the complete information equilibrium payoff set. This holds true no matter how patient the long-run player is, as long as her discount factor is fixed. This result highlights the fact that the aforementioned large effects arise due to an order of limits argument, as anticipated. © 2016, Springer Science+Business Media New York.

    Prof. Dr. Ali Demirsoy’un çalışmaları ve Türkiye’de biyolojinin gelişimine katkıları
    (Bilkent University, 2020) Kılınç, Ece; Kumdakçı, Bilge Zehra; Türkçapar, Mehmet Berk; Ekin, Yiğit; Eren, Arda
    Prof. Dr. Ali Demirsoy özellikle evrim alanında Türkiye’de aktif araştırmalarını sürdüren ve geniş kitlelere hitap edebilen sayılı isimlerden biridir. Bu araştırma yazısında Ali Demirsoy’un proje makalelerinden, katıldığı söyleşilerden, röportajlardan, kitaplardan, mesleğiyle ilgili yayınlardan, dokümanlardan ve eski öğrencilerinden alınan bilgilerden yola çıkılarak hayatı ve Türk bilim dünyasına katkıları anlatılmıştır. İlk olarak Prof. Dr. Ali Demirsoy’un hayatına dair bir araştırma yapılmış, daha sonra araştırmanın odak noktası genişletilerek kendisinin biyoloji bilimine katkılarından, ana akım medya tarafından sıkça gündeme getirilen evrim ve özellikle Türkiye’de evrimin gelişmemesi üzerine fikirlerinden, son olarak da Türkiye’nin bilimsel araştırmalardaki yetersizliği ve güncel problemleri üzerine görüşlerine değinilmiştir.

    Theorems on the core of an economy with infinitely many commodities and consumers
    (Elsevier BV, 2008) Evren, Ö.; Hüsseinov, F.
    It is known that the classical theorems of Grodal [Grodal, B., 1972. A second remark on the core of an atomless economy. Econometrica 40, 581-583] and Schmeidler [Schmeidler, D., 1972. A remark on the core of an atomless economy. Econometrica 40, 579-580] on the veto power of small coalitions in finite dimensional, atomless economies can be extended (with some minor modifications) to include the case of countably many commodities. This paper presents a further extension of these results to include the case of uncountably many commodities. We also extend Vind's [Vind, K., 1972. A third remark on the core of an atomless economy. Econometrica 40, 585-586] classical theorem on the veto power of big coalitions in finite dimensional, atomless economies to include the case of an arbitrary number of commodities. In another result, we show that in the coalitional economy defined by an atomless individualistic model, core-Walras equivalence holds even if the commodity space is non-separable. The above-mentioned results are also valid for a differential information economy with a finite state space. We also extend Kannai's [Kannai, Y., 1970. Continuity properties of the core of a market. Econometrica 38, 791-815] theorem on the continuity of the core of a finite dimensional, large economy to include the case of an arbitrary number of commodities. All of our results are applications of a lemma, that we prove here, about the set of aggregate alternatives available to a coalition. Throughout the paper, the commodity space is assumed to be an ordered Banach space which has an interior point in its positive cone. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    The US policy on the Cyprus question : continuity and change
    (2005) Dündar, Murat
    This thesis analyzes continuity and change in the US policy on the Cyprus question in chronological order, starting from 1950s, when US interest in the island began to increase by the beginning of the Cold War, to this day. It mainly puts the determinants of US policy in the Cold War and post-Cold War period and tries to find continuing and changing aspects of it while looking at its effects on finding a solution to the problem. It examines the Annan plan, as the latest and most important effort of the international community for the solution, in detail. The thesis aims to put forward a general picture of US policy on Cyprus especially focusing on crisis periods, and thus explain its role in the evolution of the conflict. The study claims that policy of the US on Cyprus has been very much related with its interests in Mediterranean, its strategic security needs in the region and neighbouring regions and its relations with Turkey and Greece. These determinants indicate that main lines of US policy on Cyprus have not changed radically through this almost fifty years old conflict although it sometimes showed little variations.
