The risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), increases significantly for women in a war/conflict context and forced migration process. However, SGBV exposure by migrant women is only considered as the unfortunate outcome of the war. This situation makes the appearance of SGBV even more obscure and makes it invisible. The aim of this review is to contextually (war/conflict context, journey, and destination country) evaluate the appearances of SGBV, which is the continuation of the conflict to which forced migrant women are exposed, and to discuss the contextual mechanisms that feed the SGBV spiral. As a result, SGBV to which forced migrant women are exposed has a spiral structure, but the appearances of SGBV are complex, interactive, transformative, and are fluidly and dynamically constructed with the contextual parameters in which SGBV action occurs. This construction process determines the direction of outcomes, needs, and interventions.

University education may influence attitudes toward gender roles. The awareness of students in the field of health services about the gender inequalities they will encounter both during the education process and in the future while providing health services will play a role in providing health services in a more effective and equitable way. In order for university students to approach men and women with an egalitarian perspective at an early age, their gender stereotypes must first decrease and their perspectives on social relations must change positively. Therefore, university education can play an important role in influencing gender perception and attitudes towards gender roles. There is no special course on prejudice and discrimination in the training programs of Vocational Schools of Health Services that train health technicians in Turkey. Based on this, this study aimed to examine the effect of the training program given to raise awareness of prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination on the gender perception and attitude of students who will provide health care in the future. For this purpose, answers were sought to the following questions: Is there a difference in students' gender perceptions of prejudice and discrimination before and after training? Are there any differences in students' gender role attitudes regarding prejudice and discrimination before and after education? Is there a relationship between gender perception and attitudes towards gender roles? As a method, a single-group the pretest-posttest semi-experimental method was used. The research was conducted with students taking the Prejudice and Discrimination course at the Vocational School of Health Services. 95 second-grade students participated in the research. The reason why sophomore students from the Disabled Care and Rehabilitation program, the Pharmacy Services program, and the Occupational Therapy Program were selected in the study is that the "Prejudice and Discrimination" course is given in the second-grade student spring semester. Descriptive Information Form, Gender Roles Attitude Scale (GRAS), and Gender Perception Scale (GPS) were used to collect data. Before the course program started, GRAS and GPS were administered to the participants as a pretest. Afterwards, a fourteen-week course period on "Prejudice and Discrimination" was carried out. At the end of the course, GRAS and GPS were administered to the participants as posttests. According to the students' descriptive characteristics, it was found that the mean age of the participants in the study was 21.6±3.3, and that 73.7% of them were female. According to the study, most students' mothers (56.9%) and fathers (38.9%) had completed elementary school. The families of 73.7% of the participants are nuclear families. The students' average number of siblings was found to be 2.8±2.1, and the majority (51.6%) of them had both brothers and sisters. The investigation discovered that 43.2% of the students lived primarily in the city center. Most students who participated in the study said that the Black Sea region was where they spent most of their lives (46.3%). The research revealed that prejudice and discrimination training provided via online distance education methods did not affect the gender perception and gender role attitudes of second-year Vocational School of Health Services students (respectively; p = 0.890, p = 0.976). However, a positive relationship was found between gender perception and attitudes towards gender roles (pretest r = 0,825, p < 0,01; posttest r = 0,893, p< 0,01). While the total scale score of women was higher than men according to GPS and GRAS scores according to sex before the training (GPS, p = 0.002; GRAS, p

UFUK 2020 Programı tarafından finanse edilen EQUALS-EU projesi çerçevesinde yürütülen bu çalışma, Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojileri (BİT) sektöründe çalışan kadınların karşılaştıkları toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı zorlukları ve sektördeki toplumsal cinsiyet eşitsizliğini nasıl yaşadıklarını anlamayı ve araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Yüksek maaşlar, prestij, en son teknolojiye erişim ve uluslararası kariyer fırsatlarına rağmen, toplumsal cinsiyet önyargısı, sınırlı kariyer gelişimi ve iş-yaşam dengesi kadınlar için engel teşkil etmeye devam etmektedir. Ayrıca, sektördeki dengesizlik erkek egemen bir şirket kültürü tarafından pekiştirilmekte, bu da haksız muameleye, eşitsiz karar alma uygulamalarına ve olumsuz işyeri ortamlarına yol açmaktadır. Doğum izni maliyetleri, evlilik tazminatı veya sosyal normlar gibi faktörlere ilişkin kaygılar işverenlerin kadınları istihdam etmekte tereddüt etmelerine neden olsa da vasıflı işgücü eksikliği işverenleri paradoksal bir "teknoerkil pazarlık" konumuna sokmaktadır. Diğer bir deyişle, sektördeki vasıflı işgücü eksikliği toplumsal cinsiyet temelli kalıp yargıların varlığına rağmen kadınların BİT sektöründe istihdamını kolaylaştırmaktadır.

Otoriter sağ popülizmin yükselişinde, anti-feminist ve reaksiyoner söylem ve politikaların etkili olduğu, sağ popülist liderlerin siyasi iletişim ve üsluplarında da erkeklik vurgusunun yoğunluğu, popülizme toplumsal cinsiyet perspektifinden bakan araştırmacıların sıklıkla vurguladığı bir nokta olagelmiştir. Bu çalışma, otoriter sağ popülist liderlerin, liberal demokrasiye itiraz ederken, neden agresif bir maskülinist söylemi merkeze aldığı sorusuna yanıt aramaktadır. Otoriter sağ popülizm, liberal demokrasinin temsil ve çoğulculuk anlayışına karşı çıkarken nasıl bir toplumsal cinsiyet tahayyülüyle hareket etmektedir? Bu soruya yanıt ararken, feminist teorinin liberal demokrasi eleştirisinden ve analitik bir araç olarak aile metaforundan, özellikle de "kardeşler arası ilişkiler" metaforundan yararlanıyoruz. Çalışmada, otoriter sağ popülizmin, halkı homojen bir yapı olarak, lideri ise halk ile yekvücut olarak kurgulayışına odaklanıyor ve farklılıklara karşı takınılan agresif tavrın temelindeki toplumsal cinsiyet tahayyüllerinin analizini sunuyoruz.

The UN's Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda emphasizes women's victimhood and peacemaking roles. However, women participate in two-thirds of armed movements and affect conflict outcomes in unique gendered ways. This article argues that excluding female perpetrators from the WPS agenda generates new insecurities for them and broader societies. By highlighting women's contribution to perpetuating conflict, I propose a framework to incite policymakers to view women's empowerment as a mainstream security concern and implement policies aligned with the goals of the UN WPS Agenda. First, I explore reasons to avoid reinforcing gender norms that portray women as victims and peacemakers. These reasons encompass assessing: 1) women's contributions to armed organizations, 2) their exclusion from post-conflict rehabilitation programs, 3) the limited visibility of human rights violations by women and the underrepresentation of male civilians as victims, and 4) "saving vulnerable women" rhetoric as a justification for Western power involvement. Then, I examine gender inequality as a fundamental cause enabling these factors, underscoring the need to regard gender inequality and traditional gender norms as central security concerns.

In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between secondary school students' problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. 261 secondary school students were included in the study in which the relational survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. "Problem Solving Inventory" and "Critical Thinking Tendency Scale" for secondary school students were used as data collection tools. In the analysis of the data, mean, percentage, frequency, correlation, regression and two-way analysis of variance were used. As a result of the research, it was determined that there is a positive and moderate relationship between the problem solving skills of secondary school students and their critical thinking skills, and that critical thinking skills have a predictive effect of 9.5% on their problem solving skills. There is a positive relationship between gender, grade level and school type variables on problem solving skills and critical thinking skills. In addition, it was determined that while the joint effect of critical thinking and gender was significant on the problem solving skills of secondary school students, the joint effect of critical thinking and grade levels was not significant, and the joint effect of critical thinking and school type was not significant.

In parallel with the rapid advancement of technology, the increasing use of smartphones causes some problems. "Nomophobia", which refers to the state of being away from the cell phone or having connection problems, is one of these problems. The aim of this study is to examine whether the level of nomophobia of academicians teaching at a university located in the west of Türkiye differs significantly in terms of age, gender, academic title and marital status variables. The sample of the study consisted of 205 academicians working at the university who voluntarily participated in the study. In the data collection process of the study, a questionnaire was used to determine the level of nomophobia. Data analysis of the study was carried out using independent sample t-test and analysis of variance test. The results of the analysis revealed that there was no statistically significant difference between the participants' general nomophobia levels and nomophobia dimensions in terms of gender, marital status and academic title variables, while there was a significant difference between the categories of age variable. Considering the findings of the study, it can be said that it is very important to understand how nomophobia questionnaire scores differ according to demographic characteristics in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of academicians and to develop new strategies in this direction.

The aim of this study is to examine the satisfaction of needs, happiness, academic motivation and life purpose of students who work and do not work in a job that provides financial benefits during the university life. The research is based on correlational research design. The sample of the study consists of 381 (261 women and 120 men) students studying at universities throughout Turkey during the 2021-2022 academic year. The data were collected through The Psychological Needs Scale, Oxford Happiness Scale-Short Form, Academic Motivation Scale, Scale of Life Goals-Short Form and Demographic Information Form. In line with the main purpose of the study, independent groups t-test was used to examine whether the average means of variables differed by gender and financial benefit, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between satisfaction of needs, happiness, academic motivation and life purpose. The results revealed that there was a significant and positive relationship between the satisfaction of needs, happiness, academic motivation and life purpose. The level of inner purpose, happiness and academic motivation, which is one of the two sub-dimensions of life purpose, differed according to gender. The difference was in favor of women. The level of relationship need, happiness in life, academic motivation and life goals, which was one of the three subdimensions of need satisfaction, differed according to economic freedom. The difference was in favor of students who did not work at a job.

This study intends to investigate the concept of social capital on the basis of evidence provided by theoretical perspectives and empirical studies. Various definitions of social capital touch upon beliefs, values, networks, and trust by complicating the meaning and creating conceptual chaos. In addition to shaky conceptual foundations, methodological inadequacies are also framing numerous problems and challenges. Moreover, lack of power, class, race, gender etc. analysis in the literature makes it difficult to contribute to poverty alleviation. In this respect, first, the origins of the social capital, definition, and the development of the concept will be explored. The investigation of the role of the World Bank in the promotion of the concept and the empirical evidences will constitute second part of this work. It is argued here in order to foster mechanisms of development, social capital projects require broader, more collaborative, and innovative approaches.

There has been much scholarly attention given to the role of women in the labor market throughout the years. While there are plenty of evaluations of ideas and perspectives regarding work-life concepts, there is limited understanding regarding the theoretical foundation of work-life concerns specifically about mothers. This study aims to provide an overview of theories used to investigate the work-life issues of working mothers. The data were collected from the Web of Science database. A total of 63 research studies examining the work-life challenges faced by employed women were evaluated based on theoretical frameworks. It was seen that identity theory and gender perspective are dominant perspectives in the current literature. In addition, the prevailing work-life perspectives adopted in the studies are work-life balance and work-life conflict. The study offers a detailed examination of the various theoretical perspectives employed in understanding the work-life difficulties encountered by employed mothers.

As epitomized by the invasion of Ukraine, the lasting geopolitical power struggle between the West and the rising nations, including Russia, has been dragging the international system towards polarization again. Its epicenter lies in the contest over the meaning of modernity that becomes particularly evident in the antagonistic attitudes towards sexual rights. Linking sexual rights to modernity has been counteracted by the discourse on traditional values. This article aims to critically examine Russia's advocacy of traditional values in the geopolitical context. Built on the tripartite of cultural authenticity, sovereignty, and anti-Westernism, the discourse of traditional values conveys the resistance to the imposition of liberal values regarding gender equality and sexual diversity as the constitutive parameters of modernity. The investigation extends beyond a simplistic unipolar or bipolar worldview and argues that Russia's stance is not merely counter-hegemonic against the West but also serves its imperialist aims as evidenced by its invasion of Ukraine.

The primary aim of the current research was to examine whether ethical leadership behaviors of managers in private call centers located in provinces in the TRA2 region affected employee voice and motivation. In the study, ethical leadership, employee voice, and employee motivation were examined conceptually, and studies in the literature conducted with the variables discussed in this study and their results were included. The hypotheses developed based on the proposed model in accordance with the study's aim were tested by path analysis and interpreted. The study population consisted of private call center employees operating in the TRA2 region. An online survey method via Google Forms was employed as the data collection method. The data acquired from the survey study were analyzed by utilizing the SPSS and YEM AMOS statistical programs. The analysis showed that managers' ethical leadership behaviors significantly affected employee voice and motivation, and employee voice also significantly affected motivation. The difference analysis performed in the research identified significant differences between gender and employee voice and motivation, between marital status and employee voice and motivation, between ethical leadership and education and seniority, and finally, between the province of work and employee voice and motivation.
