    A prenatal coparenting intervention with unmarried father-mother dyads: fidelity of intervention delivery by male-female community mentor teams
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, Ltd., 2017) Salman-Engin, S.; Little, T.; Gaskin-Butler, V.; McHale, J. P.
    Background: Most prenatal preventive interventions for unmarried mothers do not integrate fathers or help the parents plan for the development of a functional coparenting alliance after the baby's arrival. Furthermore, properly trained professionals have only rarely examined the fidelity of these interventions. Purpose: This report examines whether experienced community interventionists (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood service personnel) with no formal couples' therapy training are capable of pairing together to deliver with adequate fidelity a manualized dyadic intervention designed for expectant unmarried mothers and fathers. Methods: Three male and four female mentors (home visitors, health educators, fatherhood personnel) working in paired maleY female co-mentor teams delivered a seven-session BFiguring It Out for the Child[curriculum (six prenatal sessions, one booster) to 14 multirisk, unmarried African American families (parent age ranging from 14 to 40). Parental well-being and views of fatherhood were assessed before the intervention and again 3 months after the baby's birth. Quality assurance analysts evaluated mentor fidelity (adherence to the curriculum, competence in engaging couples with specified curricular content) through a review of the transcripts and audiotapes from the sessions. Mentors also rated their own adherence. Results: Although the mentors overestimated adherence, quality assurance analyst ratings found acceptable levels of adherence and competence, with no significant maleYfemale differences in fidelity. Adherence and competence were marginally higher in sessions that required fewer direct couples' interventions. Parents reported satisfaction with the interventions and showed statistically significant improvement in the family dimensions of interest at 3-4 months posttreatment. Conclusions/Implications for Practice: Findings support the wisdom of engaging men both as interventionists and as recipients of prenatal coparenting interventionsVeven in families where the parents are uncoupled and non-co-residential.

    Roma hukukunda sözleşmesel bona fides (dürüstlük kuralı) kavramı ve çağdaş hukuka etkisi
    (Türkiye Barolar Birliği, 2018) Uçaryılmaz, Talya Şans
    Bona fides, dürüstlük ve sadakat etik değerlerinin hukuk kuralı haline gelmesinin temel örneklerindendir. Roma usûl hukukunda doğmuş, daha sonra sözleşmeler bakımından önemle uygulanmaya başlamış olan ilke, çağdaş sözleşmeler hukukunda dü-rüstlük kuralı olarak karşımıza çıkmakta ve sözleşmeleri yorumlayıcı, tamamlayıcı, düzeltici ve borç doğurucu işlevler göstermektedir. Bu işlevleri dolayısıyla geçmişten bu yana pek çok farklı doktrinin do-ğuşuna da kaynaklık etmiş olan bona fides, sadece ulusal hukuklar bakımından değil değişen sosyo-ekonomik paradigma neticesinde uluslarüstü metinler açısından da büyük rol oynamaya başlamıştır. Nitekim bona fides, hukukun küreselleşmesi için ihtiyaç duyulan ulu-sal hukuk kurallarının katılığını aşacak esnekliğe sahiptir.

    What do audiences think about literary adaptations: a reception study on Turkish TV series and fidelity
    (2017-01) Ecevit, Aygen
    Fidelity discussion has a long history in adaptation studies and despite all negative criticism towards fidelity concern, the discussion about fidelity still remains. This thesis, with its audience based perspective, aims to contribute to this discussion by exploring the spectators’ perception about fidelity with a discourse analysis in respect of two main questions: Do audiences care about fidelity? If so, what does fidelity mean according to them? To investigate these issues, two Turkish TV series, Aşk-ı Memnu (Forbidden Love) and Behzat Ç. Bir Ankara Polisiyesi (Behzat Ç. An Ankara Detective Story) are selected as case studies and discourse analysis, as a method, is used. In order to gather information about their reception, analyzing Ekşi Sözlük (Sour Dictionary) entries about these two series’ is used as the methodology. Susers’, who are also readers and spectators, entries who mentioned their idea about fidelity and adaptation are collected and they compared between these cases. As main results, it reveals that fidelity care is fairly low for both of them but they have different kind of fidelity notions. Furthermore, this study also demonstrates these susers’ comparative fandom behaviors and it attempts to enlighten how do their habit of writing entries and being a part of a specific online community enrich their experience of watching these shows.
