On the following two pages, you might see the names of the books and people who have worked throughout the publishing process. Till 1993 a lot of friends of us have taken place in Central Registry Committee. I am grateful to them. For efforts they spent in communicating with foreign and domestic nephrology centers and for supports in evaluating and commenting the collected data, I especially thankful to Kamil Serdengeçti, President of Turkish Society of Nephrology and to Gültekin Süleymanlar, General Secretary, who are the indispensable and permanent names of our society. Mehmet Rıza Altıparmak and Nurhan Seyahi, two young assistant members of Central Registry Committee have spent too much effort. Many thanks to them and to Lale Sever who has given her best support in evaluation of pediatric nephrology results. Registry studies which were performed with an amateur spirit till three years ago, are being executed by a professional company since 2002, under control, support and audition of our Central Registry Committee. You might see the graphics showing the now and then of the Turkish Registry for a period of 15 years. In recent years, Turkish Nephrology Registry has started to take place in two big registries as a result of contribution established with ERA-EDTA and USRDS. For the support they gave to Turkish Nephrology Registry, we are grateful to Kitty Jager, Director of the ERA- EDTA Nephrology Center and to Allan J. Collins, Director of the USRDS Coordinating Center. You might also find the figures of this two big registries and comparative graphics by USRDS, including Turkish results. Turkish Registry of 2004 is completed again with the extreme supports of the responsible persons of nephrology, dialysis and transplantation centers. We stated the names of both them and the centers at the back pages of this book. By this means we voice our gratitudes to them. We are also grateful to managers and the staff of Omega Contract Research Organization who have collected the data under the control and support of our Central Registry Committee and prepared the analysis report, and to Fresenius Medical Care, the company that has yet once more sponsored the printing of this book.

  • Persistence of Armenian and Greek Influence in Turkey
    Minorities and Long-run Development: Persistence of Armenian and Greek Influence in Turkey ∗ Cemal Eren Arbatlı Gunes Gokmen y July 2015 Abstract Mass deportations and killings of Ottoman Armenians during WWI and the Greek-Turkish population exchange after the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922 were the two major events of the early 20th century that permanently changed the ethno-religious landscape of Anatolia. These events marked the end of centuries-long coexistence of the Muslim populations with the two biggest Christian communities of the region. These communities played a dominant role in craftsmanship, manufacturing, commerce and trade in the Empire. In this paper, we empirically investigate the long-run contribution of the Armenian and Greek communities in the Ottoman period on regional development in modern Turkey. We show that districts with greater presence of Greek and Armenian minorities at the end of the 19th century are systematically more densely populated, more urbanized and exhibit greater economic activity today. These results are qualitatively robust to accounting for an extensive set of geographical and historical factors that might have influenced long-run development on the one hand and minority settlement patterns on the other. We explore two potential channels of persistence. First, we provide evidence that Greeks and Armenians might have contributed to long-run economic development through their legacy on human capital accumulation at the local level. This finding possibly reflects the role of inter-group spillovers of cultural values, technology and know-how as well as the self-selection of skilled labor into modern economic sectors established by Armenian and Greek entrepreneurs.

  • A Comparison of Argentinean and Turkish English Language Teacher Education Curricula
    ISSN 2335-2019 (Print), ISSN 2335-2027 (Online) Darnioji daugiakalbystė | Sustainable Multilingualism | 9/2016 http://dx.doi.org/10.7220/2335-2027.9.7 Andrea Paola Diaz CAECE University, Argentina Arda Arikan Akdeniz University, Turkey A COMPARISON OF ARGENTINEAN AND TURKISH ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER EDUCATION CURRICULA Summary. In this study, we look at the education of English language teachers in two countries, namely, Argentina and Turkey. We specifically discuss the curricula of the teacher education programs by focusing on the specific courses taken by prospective teachers of English in each country and the steps they have to take to start teaching officially. Methodologically, we studied and analyzed two sample curricula, one from each country, in terms of the titles of the courses offered. While comparing, first, each curriculum was studied individually to understand the general outlook of it in terms of the type of English language teacher it aims to graduate. Hence, we tried to understand to “ideal” teacher that is to be educated for the country’s specific needs. Then, courses are grouped under categories and the groups are compared with each other. Results show that the Argentinean curriculum aims at graduating “proficient” language users who will develop their knowledge and practice of the language teaching methods on the job whereas the Turkish curriculum aims to graduate a workforce of teachers who have strong knowledge of teaching methods and who, most probably, will develop their language skills in time. This finding is supported with another which shows that literature and culture-related courses are given a significant place in the curricula offered at Argentinean teacher education institutions whereas little importance is given to literature and culture-related courses in the Turkish curriculum.
