Istanbul is deeply honoured to be hosting this prestigious event and I invite all fans of football to experience this magnificent city of immense cultural heritage, countless landmarks and friendly people. Wishing you all a most enjoyable stay, Kadir Topbaş Mayor of Istanbul Istanbul welcomes you! We are very happy to be hosting the 38th UEFA Cup Final on 20 May 2009 at the Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium. I sincerely believe that Istanbul, as a city connecting Europe and Asia, is an excellent choice for this last UEFA Cup Final. The football fever that will be generated by this linking of two continents will certainly provide some unforgettable memories for football fans the world over. The Turkish Football Association gained lots of experience from organising the 2005 UEFA Champions League Final in Istanbul and the local organising committee, under the leadership of UEFA, has been working for the last 12 months to make the stadium and the surrounding area worthy of this prestigious event. We consider this Final as an important milestone for Turkey, who eagerly want to host EURO 2016. Thank you to all of you for being in Istanbul. Enjoy the Final and have a safe trip back home. Mahmut Özgener President of the Turkish Football Association 2 Istanbul: Where Past Meets Present Istanbul has a history of over 2,500 years and ever since its establishment on this strategic junction of lands and seas, the city has been a crucial trade centre. The historic city of Istanbul is situated on a peninsula flanked on three sides by the Sea of Marmara, the Bosphorus and the Golden Horn. It has been the capital of three great empires, the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman, and for more than 1,600 years, over 120 emperors and sultans ruled the world from here. No other city in the world can claim such a distinction. The Sultanahmet Square, the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapı Palace are but a few of the many tourist attractions in Istanbul, a city with historical landmarks on almost every corner. Istanbul is also a metropolis with over 13 million inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities of the world. With its street cafés, commercial shopping districts and centres, restaurants offering the best selections of both local and world cuisine, bazaars, Turkish coffee, and the natural beauty of the Bosphorus dividing the city into two and separating the two continents, all blended with the history of a city that has lived and evolved for thousands and thousands of years, Istanbul is one of the most lively and colourful places one can experience and one you will remember for a lifetime. Ring roads cross the Bosphorus over two suspension bridges to connect the two continents. The European side has now a fast tramway system and a metro, while comfort and speed on water has also been ensured by the hydrofoil terminals built on the seashores. All industrial establishments on the historic peninsula have been moved to new facilities in the suburbs and the new international bus terminal has reduced traffic intensity. The city is growing dynamically and developing at full speed on an east-west axis along the shores of the Marmara. Kadıköy district (Asian side) Kadiköy district is the home of Fenerbahçe SK football club, host of the UEFA Cup Final. It is also where both fan zones will be located, ready to welcome the supporters. There are also lots of places to eat around the market place, including traditional Turkish restaurants, patisseries, bars with live jazz, folk and rock music, and tea and backgammon houses. Behind the centre lies a large shopping and residential district winding uphill to the Bahariye Caddesi pedestrian street. This area was transformed during the economic boom of the 1990s, when many new bars were opened. The nightlife in Kadıköy is not overly ritzy: it is easier to find kebabs, lahmacun and fried mussels than haute cuisine. From here, the long shopping street, Bağdat Caddesi (Bağdat Street), heads east, with many affluent neighbourhoods between the shops and the coast. Behind the seaside parks and yacht marinas there are plenty of bars and cafés in areas such as Caddebostan. 3 Transfers from Atatürk Airport to the City Centre Atatürk airport in Istanbul is Turkey’s largest airport. From here you can travel to many destinations, both in Turkey and worldwide. In addition to a variety of forms of public transport that connect the airport to a variety of destinations in the city, the airport also runs its own bus service, known as Havaş. The Havaş bus service is significantly cheaper than taking a taxi. For those travelling to the airport, it departs, for example, from in front of the Municipality Art Gallery in Taksim every day at 05.00, 06.00, every half an hour between 06.00 and 23.00, and on the hour from 23.00 to 01.00. The bus service from Atatürk airport to Taksim and other parts of the city runs on the same schedule. The trip takes around 40 minutes. The price per person varies depending on the location in the city (4–15 Turkish lira (TRY)). The trip to the airport can often involve heavy traffic, especially during rush hour. It is always helpful to check the traffic conditions before setting out to the airport. If you take the coastal road connecting Aksaray and Bakırköy to the airport, you are likely to experience less traffic. Metro/Light-rail System The metro/light-rail system that departs from Kabataş, Eminönü and Aksaray offers an even less expensive way to reach Atatürk airport. The metro line from Aksaray to Atatürk airport is 20km long, the trip takes 32 minutes and trains run every seven minutes. The Aksaray–Airport metro runs every day from 06.00 to 00.40 and costs TRY 1.40. Ferry Lines Ferries run from the following harbours on the European side: from Karaköy to Kadıköy and Haydarpasha station; from Eminönü to Kadıköy, Haydarpasha, Üsküdar and Bostancı; from Beşiktaş to Kadıköy and Üsküdar; and from Kabataş to Üsküdar and the Prince Islands. From the Asian side ferries run from Kadıköy to Eminönü, Karaköy, Beşiktaş and the Prince Islands; from Üsküdar to Eminönü, Beşiktaş and Kabataş; from Bostancı to Eminönü and the Prince Islands; and from Haydarpasha station to Karaköy and Eminönü. Ferries run from Eminönü, Karaköy and Beşiktaş to Kadıköy Pier every day from 07.00 to 23.00 and cost TRY 1.40. 4 Sea Buses Istanbul’s sea buses (smaller and faster than the ferries) run from Eminönü to Kabataş, Kadıköy and the Prince Islands; from Kabataş to Bostancı and the Prince Islands; from Karaköy to Bostancı, Pendik, and Kartal; from Kadıköy to Bakırköy, Eminönü and the Prince Islands; and from Bostancı to Bakırköy, Yenikapı, Karaköy, Kabataş, Kadıköy and the Prince Islands. They cost TRY 6.00. To the Stadium The general public can access the stadium from the European side either by Metrobus or ferry. Metrobuses travel from Avcılar to Söğütlüçeşme via the O1 highway. The last stop on the Metrobus is the Fenerbahçe Şükrü Saracoğlu stadium. Ferries sail from Eminönü, Karaköy, Beşiktaş and Kabataş docks. Ferries drop off at Kadıköy Pier, where there is a 1.5km walkway leading to the stadium. General public wishing to come to stadium from the Asian side can take the buses that travel to Kadıköy and Bağdat Street (local name Bağdat Caddesi). Traffic in Istanbul is often particularly heavy during rush hour, i.e. from 07.30 to 10.00 and from 17.00 to 20.00.

  • A View of the History of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine
    A VIEW OF THE HISTORY OF THE ISTANBUL FACULTY OF MEDICINE Prof. Dr. Nuran Yıldırım The Istanbul Faculty of Medicine, the Department of History of Medicine and Ethics Attributing the roots of the Istanbul Faculty of Medicine to the Fatih Darüşşifa after a great deal of discussion, the 500th anniversary of medical education in Istanbul was celebrated in 1970. The soundest documents showing that medical education was carried out in the Fatih Dârüşşifa were the appointment papers (rüus) of medical students for the dârüşşifa in the 60 years between 1723 and 1783. These nine rüus, which were recently published, clarify that there were positions for six medical students in the dârüşşifa, and that whenever a vacancy came up, a new medical student would be appointed by the chief physician to undergo a systematic medical training. 1-Archival document concerning Ismail Efendi‟s appointment in place of Derviş Mehmet in Fatih Darüşşifa after his death. With the opening of the Süleymaniye Medical Medrese, medical education in Istanbul, which had started with the Fatih Dârüşşifa, became institutionalized. The opening of a medical medrese for the first time in the Ottoman State is accepted as being an important step in our history of medical education. The Süleymaniye Medical Medrese (Süleymaniye Tıp Medresesi) was a medrese for specializing, or a “post-graduate” course, as only students who had completed their classic medrese education could continue. Not only did the physicians that were trained join the scholarly classes, but at the same time they could be qadi or rising even to the level of sheikh-ul-Islam or grand vizier.

Smith, afer his appointment to the prestigious project for the new Istanbul Embassy Building of United Kingdom, whose conceptual design was probably by renowned architect Sir Charles Barry, had attained the interest and trust of Ottoman statesmen. Consequently he was assigned to realise a number of important architectural projects contributing to the modernization of Ottoman Architecture. Some of the Smith’s important works for the Ottoman Porte are: A military hospital [Gümüşsuyu Askeri Hastanesi], a naval hospital, a school of medicine later known as Mecidiye Kışlası then Taşkışla, a part of the Selimiye Barracks, a Glass Pavilion in Dolmabahçe Palace and Tophane Imperial Kiosk [Tophane Kasrı] for Sultan Abdülmecid; a building for the Board of Trade, renovation of the Naum Teatre.

  • Gentrification of Moda
    STRUGGLE, AND BACK HOME: GENTRIFICATION OF MODA By Kaan Kubilay Aşar Submitted to Central European University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Supervisors: Prof. Judit Bodnár Prof. Ju Li CEU eTD Collection Budapest, Hungary 2019 i Abstract This thesis argues that an emancipatory social movement might result in heightened political polarization among social groups constrained by extant economic inequality. Based on the case study of the commercial gentrification in Moda neighborhood in the aftermath of the Gezi protests in 2013, this research highlights that the retreat of dissident urban youth from Taksim to Kadıköy and the rapid gentrification of Moda neighborhood are the social manifestations of the overall process of neoliberal restructuring of Istanbul. Moreover, it analyzes the newly opened third-wave cafés, pubs, and theatres as new territories of dissident urban youth. The in- depth interviews with gentrifiers and geospatial analysis of Moda neighborhood suggest that gentrification produced a socio-spatial segmentation of politically differentiated consumption places in Moda neighborhood. This thesis shows that the politicization of citadins is highly dependent on their daily practices of familiarizing consumption places with their social space. CEU eTD Collection ii Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Judit Bodnár for her relentless help and sage guidance which motivated me to excel on the validity of my arguments and to produce insightful research. Without her extended comments and support, this thesis would not have been what it is now. I thank my second supervisor, Ju Li, for her concise comments and insights.

  • The Story of the Life and Times of Thomas Cosmades
    Thomas Cosmades The Story of the Life and Times of Thomas Cosmades Introduction For years friends and family have been requesting me to put down at least the highlights of my life, pleasant and unpleasant. Following serious thought I concluded that doing this could be of service to people dear to me. Also my account can benefit coming generations. Many recollections in my thoughts still cheer my heart and others sadden, or make me ashamed, even after many years. If I fail to put my remembrances on paper they will die with me; otherwise they will profit those interested. I am confident of their being useful, at least to some. Innumerable people have written and published their life stories. Some have attracted favorable impressions and others the contrary. The free pen entrusted for free expression shouldn’t hesitate to record memories of some value. We are living in an age of intimidation and trepidation. People everywhere are weighing their words, writings, criticisms, drawings, etc. Prevailing conditions often dictate people’s manner of communication. Much talk is going around regarding democracy and free speech. Let’s be candid about it, democratic freedom is curtailed at every turn with the erosion of unrestricted utterance. The free person shouldn’t be intimidated by exorbitant reaction, or even violence. I firmly believe that thoughts, events and injustices should be spelled out. Therefore, I have recorded these pages. I did not conceal my failures, unwise decisions and crises in my own life. The same principle I have applied to conditions under which I lived and encountered from my childhood onwards.

  • An Ottoman Global Moment
    AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In History By Kahraman Sakul, M.A Washington, DC November, 18, 2009 Copyright 2009 by Kahraman Sakul All Rights Reserved ii AN OTTOMAN GLOBAL MOMENT: WAR OF SECOND COALITION IN THE LEVANT Kahraman Sakul, M.A. Dissertation Advisor: Gabor Agoston, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This dissertation aims to place the Ottoman Empire within its proper context in the Napoleonic Age and calls for a recognition of the crucial role of the Sublime Porte in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). The Ottoman-Russian joint naval expedition (1798-1800) to the Ionian Islands under the French occupation provides the framework for an examination of the Ottoman willingness to join the European system of alliance in the Napoleonic age which brought the victory against France in the Levant in the War of Second Coalition (1798-1802). Collections of the Ottoman Archives and Topkapı Palace Archives in Istanbul as well as various chronicles and treatises in Turkish supply most of the primary sources for this dissertation. Appendices, charts and maps are provided to make the findings on the expedition, finance and logistics more readable. The body of the dissertation is divided into nine chapters discussing in order the global setting and domestic situation prior to the forming of the second coalition, the Adriatic expedition, its financial and logistical aspects with the ensuing socio-economic problems in the Morea, the Sublime Porte’s relations with its protectorate – The Republic of Seven United Islands, and finally the post-war diplomacy.

  • Lessons from the Crimean War: How Hospitals Were Transformed by Florence Nightingale and Others
    HISTORY Infect Dis Clin Microbiol 2019; 1(2): 110-118 Lessons from the Crimean War: How Hospitals were Transformed by Florence Nightingale and Others Uğurgül Tunç Department of Archaeology and History of Art, Koç University Graduate School of Social Sciences and Humanities, İstanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT The spread of infectious diseases claimed more lives than battle wounds during the Crimean War (1853-1856). Istanbul, then the Ottoman capital, was transformed into a medical hub where new ideas were tested and exchanged among physicians, surgeons and nurses from all over Europe to control the spread of disease. Although the most well-known figure of this international effort was Florence Nightingale, the medical community serving in Istanbul at the time had many other heroes and heroines. While Nightingale’s work played an important role in shaping healthcare facilities in the second half of the 19th century, there were other factors at play that led to this transformation. Notably, the Crimean War was the first major armed conflict that was directly reported from the front by newspaper reporters as it was happening; a possible catalyst for the significant improvements in hospital conditions that Post-Crimean War Europe witnessed. Most of these improvements were measures that had already been proposed prior to the Crimean War. Pavilion style typology in hospital architecture was one such measure dating back to the first quarter of the 18th century. This article attempts to question the changing attitudes in Europe towards healthcare facilities immediately after the Crimean War and questions their links to political aspirations of the time. he Crimean War (1853-1856) transformed Istanbul, then the Ottoman capital, Corresponding Author: into a medical hub where new ideas were tested and exchanged among doctors Uğurgül Tunç and nurses from all over Europe to control the spread of infectious diseases that T E-mail: claimed more lives than battle wounds.
