    A new funerary inscription from Olympos (Lycia) and an addendum to TAM II 1075
    (Phaselis Research Station / Phaselis Araştırma İstasyonu, 2021) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Demirhan Öztürk, Ezgi; Faculty Member; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities
    This paper presents two funerary inscriptions found in Olympos, one of which has not been pub-lished before (no. 1). The inscription dated to the Ist-IInd centuries A.D. was recorded in 2015, and it belongs to the tomb of Arteimas and his family. Another funerary inscription (no. 2) was published with the number 1075 in TAM II, and we make an addendum to the published inscription. The rest of the inscription belong-ing to the tomb of Pausanias was noticed in 2015 in the course of a survey and the remaining five lines of this inscription were recorded with the inv. No. 37. / : Bu makalede Olympos'ta bulunan ve biri daha önce yayınlanmamış (no. 1) ve diğer yazıta (no. 2) addendum yapılmış iki mezar yazıtı tanıtılmaktadır. MS I-II. yüzyıllara tarihlenen bir numaralı yazıt 2015 yılında kaydedilmiş olup, yazıt Arteimas ve ailesinin mezarına aittir. Bir diğer mezar yazıtı olan (no. 2) TAM II'de 1075 numara ile yayımlanmış olup; yazıta tarafımızdan bir addendum yapılmıştır. Yazıtın geri kalanı 2015 yılında bir kontrol sırasında fark edilmiş ve geri kalan beş satır tarafımızdan yeniden kaydedilmiştir, yazıt Pausanias'ın mezarına aittir.

    An algebraic approach to physical fields
    (Elsevier, 2021) Fritz, Tobias; Department of Philosophy; Chen, Lu; Faculty Member; Department of Philosophy; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    According to the algebraic approach to spacetime, a thoroughgoing dynamicism, physical fields exist without an underlying manifold. This view is usually implemented by postulating an algebraic structure (e.g., commutative ring) of scalar-valued functions, which can be interpreted as representing a scalar field, and deriving other structures from it. In this work, we point out that this leads to the unjustified primacy of an undetermined scalar field. Instead, we propose to consider algebraic structures in which all (and only) physical fields are primitive. We explain how the theory of natural operations in differential geometry-the modern formalism behind classifying diffeomorphism-invariant constructions-can be used to obtain concrete implementations of this idea for any given collection of fields. For concrete examples, we illustrate how our approach applies to a number of particular physical fields, including electrodynamics coupled to a Weyl spinor.

    An historical geographic information system for Ottoman Studies. The c. 1907 Ottoman Census and Armenian Settlement in Istanbul
    (Peeters Online Journals, 2020) Ohanian, Daniel; Başkurt, Z. Mehmet; Department of History; Kabadayı, Mustafa Erdem; Faculty Member; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities; 33267
    The purpose of this article is to announce the publication of a partial transcription of the c. 1907 Ottoman census that relates to 24,000 Apostolic Armenian Istanbulites and of a historical geographic information system (HGIS), or interactive map, that shows where these individuals lived. Within this framework, the authors first present their argument that an unidentified, microfilmed population register housed in New York is the most substantial portion of this census currently available to researchers. In the second part of their article, they introduce HGISes as tools for the digital humanities and describe the process of creating one.

    An insight into Old Hittite metallurgy : alloying practices at Hüseyindede (Çorum, Turkey)
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2019) Department of Archeology and History of Art; Arıkan, Gonca Dardeniz; PhD Student; Department of Archeology and History of Art; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities
    This paper presents archaeological and analytical data on metal artefacts from Hüseyindede (Çorum, Turkey), dated to the Old Hittite period (ca 16th century BC). Hüseyindede, which is set in a rural landscape, demonstrates continuity in alloying traditions from the Early Bronze Age III (ca 26th/25th-22nd/21st century BC) and the Assyrian Trading Colonies period (20th-18th century BC) to the emergence of the Hittites. In addition to known alloying practices of the period, the site presents, for the first time, evidence of the existence of copper-nickel alloys, namely cupronickels, which so far have been documented only at the Late Bronze Age capital of the Hittites, Boǧazköy/Hattuša. The Hüseyindede cupronickel objects now pinpoint the presence of this technology to regions spreading out from the Halys basin from the Old Kingdom Hittite period. / Bu makalede, Eski Hitit Dönemi’ne (yaklaşık M.Ö. 16. yy) tarihlenen Hüseyindede (Çorum, Türkiye) yerleşiminde ele geçen maden eserlerin arkeolojik ve analitik verileri sunulmaktadır. Kırsal olarak tanımlanabilecek bir alanda konumlanmış olan Hüseyindede yerleşimi, Erken Tunç Çağı III (M.Ö. 26./25.–22./21. yy) ve Assur Ticaret Kolonileri Çağı’dan (M.Ö. 20.–18. yy) Hititlerin ortaya çıkışına kadar geçen süreçte, maden alaşımlama teknikleri açısından bir sürekliliğin var olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Dönemin bilinen alaşımlama tekniklerinin yanı sıra Hüseyindede’de, kupro-nikel olarak isimlendirilen ve Geç Tunç Çağı’nda Hititlerin başkenti Boğazköy/Hattuša’dan bilinen bakır-nikel alaşımlarının en erken örneklerinin bulunduğuna dair kanıtlar, bu çalışmada sunulmaktadır. Hüseyindede’de ortaya çıkarılan kupro-nikel eserler sayesinde bu alaşımlama teknolojinin, Kızılırmak kavsi içerinde Eski Hitit Dönemi’nden itibaren bilindiği saptanmıştır.

    British workers and Ottoman modernity in nineteenth-century Istanbul
    (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2021) Department of History; Sefer, Akın; Researcher; Department of History; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    In the mid-nineteenth century, when the Ottoman state launched an industrialization campaign within the context of increasing contacts between the Ottoman and British governments, hundreds of British industrial workers migrated to Istanbul to work in Ottoman military factories, along with technology transfer from Britain. This article narrates the history of these workers and of the community they established in Istanbul in a period spanning four decades, from the beginning of the mechanization efforts in the 1830s until the economic crisis in the mid-1870s. Drawing on archival evidence from Ottoman and British sources, it analyzes the larger context of British workers' migration from Britain, their relations with the Ottoman state officials and local workers, and their experiences and struggles in the workplace and the city. Although both British and Ottoman historians have largely ignored their experiences due to their marginal numbers and distinct statuses, these workers actively took part in the Ottoman industrialization process, in the development of capitalist class relations, and in the social, cultural, and spatial transformation of the capital city in the Ottoman age of reforms. By means of this analysis, the article aims to highlight the significance of immigrant workers as actors of the history of large-scale transformations in the late Ottoman Empire as well as underlining the role of trans-imperial labor migration in the history of modernity.

    Changing life styles - changing competencies: Turkish migrant youth in Europe
    (Center for Historical Research / Zentrum für Historische Sozialforschung (HRS), 2010) Department of Psychology; Kağıtçıbaşı, Çiğdem; Faculty Member; Department of Psychology; College of Social Sciences and Humanities
    "Veranderte Lebensstile - Veranderte Kompetenzen: Turkische Migrationsjugendliche in Europa". This paper examines the plight of Turkish migrant youth in Europe particularly as migration involves social change in terms of changing life styles which require changing competencies. For the migrant youth to be assets, rather than problems, for the receiving society, their full integration into society should be ensured. This requires the enhancement of their cognitive competence and psycho-social development involving the autonomous-related self. Drawing parallels between rural to urban migration and international migration with regard to the experienced social change, the Turkish Early Enrichment Project (TEEP) is taken up as a case in point. TEEP showed that early childhood enrichment through supporting the mothers among rural to urban migrants in Istanbul, Turkey was beneficial for both the cognitive competence and the psycho-social development of their children. The gains were found to be sustained into young adulthood. Similar programs of intervention and support would be highly beneficial for ethnic migrants in Europe, particularly for Turkish-German youth, given the fact that they tend to do poorly in school. Immigrants' positive youth development, involving the enhancement of autonomous-related self, cognitive competence, psychological and socio-cultural adaptation, promises to provide far reaching benefits to the receiving societies, as well.
