Publication Metadata only A quantitative approach: hope labor among Turkish female bloggers(Hacettepe Üniversitesi Edebiyat Fakültesi, 2021) N/A; Sim, Melike Aslı; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis study investigates the blogosphere in Turkey from a gendered perspective, focusing on how blogging reshapes women’s cultural and social environment. Based on a quantitative approach, a snowballing survey method is conducted, to explore the spaces within which women seek “self-realization,” “self-formation” and “publicity” in the digital world, particularly, through the practice of blogging. There are two main questions that undergird this project: “Do women, performing in social media, unintentionally become subjugated to a form of exploitation and alienation, as the literature on digital labor suggests?” “Is hope labor is influential in female bloggers’ blog usage and content writing? Research findings demonstrate that these women, while constructing their identities as bloggers, incorporate to the neoliberal restructuring of Turkey via articulation of blogging with the global market system. Although blogs provide employment opportunities and economic gains, main motivation behind women’s blogging practices remain to be self-realization and self-fulfillment, leaving hope labor less influential in blog writing. Traditional views like unemployed women participate to public sphere via blogging activities wriggling out of their inherited gender roles also remain to be an over determination since employed women feel more emancipated through blogging. / Bu çalışma Türkiye’deki blog dünyasını, blog yazmanın kadınların kültürel ve sosyal çevrelerini yeniden şekillendirme biçimlerine odaklanarak, toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifinden inceliyor. Kartopu anket çalışması yöntemine dayanan çalışma, blog yazma pratiği doğrultusunda kadınların dijital dünyadaki “kendini gerçekleştirme”, “kendini bulma” ve “kamusallık” arayışlarına ışık tutuyor. Çalışmanın iki ana sorusu var: “Sosyal medyada özgürleşme (ekonomik veya sosyal) arayışı içerisinde olan kadınlar, dijital emek literatürünün iddia ettiği gibi sömürü ve yabancılaşmaya maruz kalıyorlar mı?” ve “Kadınların blog yazma ve kullanmalarında umut emeği etkili mi?” Bulgulara göre, kadınlar blog yazarı kimliklerini kurarken aynı zamanda blog yazma sayesinde girdikleri global pazar sistemiyle, Türkiye’nin neoliberal yeniden şekillenmesine de entegre oluyorlar. Bloglar ekonomik kazanç ve iş imkanları sağlasa da kadınların blog yazmasının ardındaki ana motivasyon, umut emeğini geride bırakarak kendini gerçekleştirme ve kendini tatmin etme dürtüsü olarak karşımıza çıkıyor. İşsiz kadınların blog yazma aktiviteleri ile içselleştirilmiş toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinden sıyrıldıklarını ve kamusal alana katıldıklarını öngören geleneksel düşünce de iş sahibi kadınların blog yazma sayesinde daha özgür hissettiklerinin ortaya çıkmasıyla bir genellemeden öte gidemiyor.Publication Restricted Energy and spectrum-efficient communication techniques for next-generation internet of things(Koç University, 2018) Pehlivanoğlu, Ecehan Berk; Akan, Özgür Barış; 0000-0003-2523-3858; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Electrical and Electronics Engineering; 6647Publication Metadata only Liquid love in Iran: a mixed method approach(Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational research (MCSER), 2015) Shahghasemi, Ehsan; Masoumi, Hosna; Akhavan, Manijeh; Tafazzoli, Bijan; PhD Student; Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities; N/AThis study explores the dimensions of “liquid love” among Iranian Internet users. Over the last decade, the phenomenal growth of the Internet has caused fundamental changes in the Iranian lifestyle. One aspect of the Iranian lifestyle is the strict cultural codes on how males and females can interact. Now, on the Internet, most of this cultural barriers have been removed. It is very important to study how heterosexual relationships are rampant in the Iranian cyberspace, and what are the causes and consequences. Therefore, this study conducts a quantitative study on more than 500 Iranian young Internet users and then analyses 3000 Iranian blog posts which Iranians have written on heterosexual relationships online which Zygmunt Bauman calls it “liquid love.” Finally, a comparison of both phases revealed that this kind of relationships are rampant in Iran, and this phenomenon has generally left unpleasant feelings and consequences on the Iranian young Internet users, as discussed in their answers to our questionnaire and their posts on their weblogs.Publication Restricted Making opportunity sales in attended home delivery(Koç University, 2021) Ötken, Çelen Naz; Yıldız, Barış; 0000-0002-3839-8371; Koç University Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering; Industrial Engineering; 258791Publication Restricted Managed video services over software defined networks(Koç University, 2018) Bağcı, K.
