This chapter explores the ways and channels through which Turkey-based political parties respond to non-resident citizens through external voting. It firstly provides a brief history of the legislation regulating external voting rights in Turkey. It then examines the representation of non-resident votes in the Turkish electoral system and in the Turkish Parliament. The chapter discusses Turkey-bas
Over the past two centuries, coastal regions have experienced various anthropogenic environmental stressors such as ocean acidification, pollution, warming, and deoxygenation that have impacted benthic marine life. Understanding the severity and potential outcomes of such changes is crucial for supporting effective environmental management strategies.Benthic foraminifera, protists with calcite tes
What does it mean for a business or industry to be and do good? And who can count themselves within the good economy? This article investigates the justification of goodness in mineral exploration and mining and uses the entwinement between value creation and destruction characteristic of mining to trouble notions of goodness in impactful industries. Based on analyses of indepth interviews, ethnog
What were the effects of having a distinctively African American-sounding name on educational attainment, occupation, income, marital status, and longevity in early 20th century America? How did those effects differ for people based on their phenotypical race/ethnicity? The findings of contemporary research have shown racialized names to be related to negative outcomes such as job interview callba
Objectives To investigate the effect of precarious employment (PE) on the risk of diagnosed chronic musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among Swedish workers in occupations with strenuous working conditions. Methods This nationwide register-based cohort study included workers registered as living in Sweden in 2005, aged 21-60 at the 2010 baseline. Three samples were included: workers with high biomec
BACKGROUND: Statins have been suggested to protect against breast cancer risk, but the observational evidence is inconclusive. We examined the association between statin use and breast cancer incidence among women at higher risk of breast cancer due to a history of benign breast disease (BBD).METHODS: Using Danish registries, we identified cancer-free women aged ≥50 years during 1996-2018 with a h
Anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that is mutated in approximately 10% of pediatric neuroblastoma (NB). To shed light on ALK-driven signaling processes, we employed BioID-based in vivo proximity labeling to identify molecules that interact intracellularly with ALK. NB-derived SK-N-AS and SK-N-BE(2) cells expressing inducible ALK-BirA* fusion proteins were generat
The focus of this article is Alain Resnais’ representation of collective and individual memory and identity in Hiroshima Mon Amour (1959). The film is based on Marguerite Duras’ script from 1958 and remains faithful to this original text. With partial reference to Giuliana Bruno’s views on imaginary cities and urban cartography, the screened urban space will here be read as an emotive map in which
In the policy discourse on societal challenges, it has become common to think of innovation policy as a key tool for addressing societal challenges. However, we argue that innovation policy has limits to what it can do, and for it to remain a useful tool for tackling societal challenges, it is necessary to re-assess its role. Thus, this paper addresses the following research questions: To what ext
In this article, we propose generalized two-parameter (GTP) estimators and an algorithm for the estimation of shrinkage parameters to combat multicollinearity in the multinomial logit regression model. In addition, the mean squared error properties of the estimators are derived. A simulation study is conducted to investigate the performance of proposed estimators for different sample sizes, degree
In this review, we analyze the existing literature on the role of alternative currencies within degrowth. While degrowth emerged in the early 2000s alongside growing awareness of accelerating environmental crises and widening global inequalities, alternative currencies have a longer history. Alternative currencies have served as devices for communities seeking to become less dependent on the domin
String intonation is a topic of pedagogical interest, but also a domain involving implicit, embodied knowledge that may be hard to convey in words. This study investigated how prominent string musicians approach expressive aspects of intonation, when only verbal means of pedagogical communication are possible. A search through the professional periodical The Strad with the combined keywords “expre
BACKGROUND: The degree to which avian migrants revisit the same sites to replicate routes from previous years has received more and more attention as the possibilities of tracking small to medium-size birds over multiple annual cycles have improved. Repeated measurements of individuals with an appropriate sampling resolution can potentially inform about their navigation and migration strategies an
A fundamental aspect of the human mind is its ability to perceive, understand, and remember life experiences, which we process as distinct and meaningful sequences of events, each with a clear beginning and end. This includes experiences from audiovisual media. However, while movies do not explicitly signal when one event ends and another begins, viewers still consistently and automatically percei
Recent years witnessed mass migration towards Europe, from Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine and the 2015 Migrant Crisis linked to war in Syria. This article explores UK government discussion around these two significant crises, focussing on the challenges they present and the portrayal of refugees. It asks how far ministers' language differentiated between Ukrainians and Syrians regarding welfare
In villages and cities across the Indonesian island of Java, hundreds of songbird competitions are held every week. In these competitions, members of one species of songbird compete each other, where the aesthetic qualities the song, including its rhythm, melody, timbre, and volume, are evaluated by a team of referees. First prizes are large cash awards and sometimes cars. Birdsong that incorpora
Swedish art and music schools (SAMS), established in the 1940s, aim to provide affordable extra-curricular instrumental and singing education for all children, regardless of their parents’ economic situation. The tuition is highly subsidized, with families contributing only about 7% of the tuition costs. While traditionally focusing on one-to-one instruction, a recent governmental report (2016) ha
Aim: Widespread greening and an increasing global terrestrial carbon sink over recent decades have been reported. However, the spatio-temporal relationships between vegetation greenness and productivity and the factors influencing this relationship remain unclear. We define a new metric of ecosystem-scale photosynthetic efficiency (EPE) to analyse its spatio-temporal pattern and investigate how po
