MAPPING the FAULTLINES: Structural Crisis of the World-System and Turkey” 10Th of May 2012 ______________________________________________________________________________ Istanbul Şehir University, Center for Modern Turkish Studies & Keele University, School of Politics, International Relations and Philosophy presents a Workshop on “MAPPING THE FAULTLINES: Structural Crisis of the World-System and Turkey” 10th of May 2012 Workshop will be conducted in English Time: May 10, 2011 - Thursday // 14.00-18:00 Venue: Istanbul Şehir University Altunizade Campus 5th Floor Meeting Hall The current global crisis is an expression of the structural changes and deep-rooted contradictions, which have occurred within the global system in the last 30 years. The present crisis has reminded us that we live in a dynamic world where empires and systems come and go according to history’s dictates. It seems that the Bretton Woods system is in eclipse, and the world is moving toward a multi-polar global structure. In the long history of global political economy, crises come and go, as do the focal points around which they form. To understand the dynamics of the current process of change we must also understand the history that gives it volume and reach. The current crisis is destined to bring about fundamental changes in the world. The world will be different when the carnage stops. The crisis will bring irreversible geopolitical consequences. We are not saying that it is all over for the USA. It is still one of the strongest countries in the world. But the reality is that the US economy and the rest of the US-centred economies of the West are fast losing ground. China, India and other significant emerging economies, including Turkey, have been strengthening considerably. What is underlying the current crisis is this historical shift: the ‘unipolar’ phase of US dominance is being replaced by a ‘multipolar’ phase, in which the US will continue to remain one of the most prominent powers, but has to share this position with China, India and the leading emerging economies as new rising global superpowers. This workshop will look at this process of Global Shift and try to assess the changing position of Turkey on the Grand Chessboard.

The sample group of the study consists of academicians working at Marmara University and Istanbul Gelişim University. As a data collection tool in research, in addition to the personal information form "International Physical Activity questionnaire", developed by the World Health Organization and adapted to Turkish by Öztürk (2005) was used. In the evaluation of the data, besides descriptive statistics, Chi-Square test was used. As a result of the analysis, a difference was found between the physical activity levels of the academicians working at Marmara University according to their gender, age and monthly income level. No statistically significant difference was found between the gender, age, marital status, weekly lesson hours, university service years, monthly income and body mass indexes and physical activity levels of the academicians working at Istanbul Gelişim University. As a result, it has been determined that the participation levels of the academicians working in the sports science faculties of state and foundation universities differ in terms of some socio-demographic characteristics.

    TOJET: The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology – April 2013, volume 12 Issue 2 TWITTER USAGE OF UNIVERSITIES IN TURKEY Özgü YOLCU Istanbul University, Turkey [email protected] ABSTRACT Universities are among the users of the most popular social media networks. Usage of social media by especially students and many other people and institutions, which constitutes the target audience for universities, encourages the universities to effectively use this environment. Twitter is among these social media networks which facilitate the communication by providing a faster, easier and economical means to interact with target audience in different parts of the world. In order to contribute to effective use of Twitter, tweets of the top ten most followed state and foundation universities in Twitter were examined in our research. These tweets were then compared with each other by their subjects, by tools they use, and by the participation of users to the tweets posted. Differences among them were attempted to be identified by using the content analysis method. Keywords: Internet, Twitter, Social Media 1.
