The aim of this thesis is to examine how political Islam as an ideology of the Turkish state has constructed gender roles and influenced gender-based violence in Turkey. The political Islam, as a term, refers to a broad political movement. My focus of interest is the political Islam as advocated by the Justice and Development Party and its discourses shaped within this ideology. In order to invest
This research explores the contemporary turn towards neutral aesthetics in dressing and interior decoration as a cultural technology that regulates visibility, produces respectability and reproduces classed norms through embodied practices and digital infrastructures. In this study, neutrality is approached through the lenses of minimalism and monochromatism, representing a curated visual language
Although consisting of EU (potential) candidate countries, the Western Balkan Six (WB6: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia and Serbia) remain largely absent from the study of party politics. Mapping the dominant lines of party contestation in the region and comparing them cross-nationally is vital to understanding what types of ideological conflicts divide the par
This article examines a case study of international Communist propaganda during the Cold War. The Institute of Historical and Socio-Political Research (ISISP), a historical propaganda organization affiliated to the Romanian Communist Party (RCP), succeeded in penetrating the Iron Curtain by distributing its works through a social network provided by the Italian Liberation Movement Institute, and i
Extended AbstractIn this paper, I examine why the Gallipoli War narrative has become increasingly important in the discourse of the JDP (Justice and Development Party) governments over the last two decades, and how this visible tendency is related to the construction and protection of the neoliberal government in Turkey. I frame the discussion by utilizing Loïc Wacquant’s concept of the “centaur s

With MAX IV construction well underway and beam commissioning expected to commence in July 2015, first studies have been launched on improving the optics of the MAX IV 3 GeV storage ring with the goal of further reducing the emittance from the baseline design (320 pm rad) towards 150 pm rad while improving the matching of the electron beam to insertion devices to further improve the resulting phot
What happens when the state removes the usual obstacles preventing refugees to ‘integrate’? Our article analyses the case of Ukrainians who fled the war to settle in France. Their legal status is different from that of ‘classic’ refugees: the EU directive on temporary protection gives them the freedom to move and the right to work. Moreover, they benefit from a rather positive attitude of the gene
This study demonstrates how Leviticus 21 formulates priestly sanctity through laws that regulate gender, class, and impurity within the Holiness Legislation. By applying a synchronic critical discourse analysis, informed by the distinction between ritual and moral impurity, the analysis explores how legal form produces hierarchical exclusions that reinforce priestly dominance, sanctioned through a
ocusing particularly on Poland and Ukraine, with less detailed considerations of other parts of eastern Europe, this chapter examines the politicization of Holocaust memory in the post-Cold War period. An attempt to forge a new, postcommunist identity in eastern Europe also entailed an evasion of wartime reality. The all too real suffering of Poles or Ukrainians during the Second World War was con
Background: There is limited data on the organisation of paediatric echocardiography laboratories in Europe.

Background: Unhealthy lifestyle behaviours, including unhealthy alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, smoking, and nonadherence to dietary recommendations, are major contributors to non-communicable diseases and mortality. While adopting healthy behaviours can reduce these risks in middle-aged adults, research is limited. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess the distribution of unhea
The associations among educational level, occupational status, and atherosclerosis were investigated during 1992-1994 in a general population sample of 4,176 Swedish men and women. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT) and carotid stenosis were determined by B-mode ultrasound. Socioeconomic differences in mean carotid IMT and odds ratios for carotid stenosis prevalence were estimated. In wom
Abstract The principle of fiscal neutrality is at the core of the EU VAT system. Neutrality in the EU VAT system comprises of two main elements, that is, equal treatment of taxable persons in the same situation and giving taxable persons the right to deduct input VAT for cost components. The right to deduction is an important element of the VAT system to achieve fiscal neutrality. Deductibility en
Theorists of the transnational cleavage, defined as a political reaction against European integration and immigration, also regularly conceptualise international trade preferences as a component of this contemporary societal divide. Yet empirical analyses of this cleavage focus on the former two topics, while trade and the transnational cleavage has not been systematically investigated. Making use
