  • Violence Against Women: Prevalence and Risk Factors in Turkish Sample Selma Sen* and Nursen Bolsoy
    Sen and Bolsoy BMC Women's Health (2017) 17:100 DOI 10.1186/s12905-017-0454-3 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Violence against women: prevalence and risk factors in Turkish sample Selma Sen* and Nursen Bolsoy Abstract Background: This study reports on a large cross-sectional study of violence against women in Turkey, and outlines the risk factors associated with intimate partner violence. The purpose of this study was to identify in order to evaluate the domestic violence against women living in Manisa and to determine the risk factors affecting this situation. Methods: We implemented a cross-sectional descriptive study in the Manisa province of Turkey. The research data were collected by using a “Women’s Information Form” consisting of 32 items, and “Scale of Domestic Violence Against Women”. The study was conducted with 1760 women who complied with the inclusion criteria. Results: It was determined that score averages of 30.0% of women from the scale of domestic violence against women were above the score average of the scale (71.38 ± 10.71) and they were exposed to violence more than the others. A statistically significant difference was obtained in the statistical analysis made between score averages from the scale of domestic violence against women and such variables as age, education, employment status, social insurance, immigration status, place of residence, marital age, year of marriage of women; age, education status, employment status of husband; and whether the husband has another wife (p < 0.05). Conclusions: It was also found out that the rate of domestic violence against women is high, women does not perceive many behaviors of their husbands as violence, and the most important factor leading to this situation is social status.

  • Evidence for Terrane Boundaries and Suture Zones Across Southern Mongolia Detected with a 2‑Dimensional Magnetotelluric Transect Matthew J
    Comeau et al. Earth, Planets and Space (2020) 72:5 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40623-020-1131-6 FULL PAPER Open Access Evidence for terrane boundaries and suture zones across Southern Mongolia detected with a 2-dimensional magnetotelluric transect Matthew J. Comeau1* , Michael Becken1, Johannes S. Käuf2, Alexander V. Grayver2, Alexey V. Kuvshinov2, Shoovdor Tserendug3, Erdenechimeg Batmagnai2 and Sodnomsambuu Demberel3 Abstract Southern Mongolia is part of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt, the origin and evolution of which is not fully known and is often debated. It is composed of several east–west trending lithostratigraphic domains that are attributed to an assemblage of accreted terranes or tectonic zones. This is in contrast to Central Mongolia, which is dominated by a cratonic block in the Hangai region. Terranes are typically bounded by suture zones that are expected to be deep- reaching, but may be difcult to identify based on observable surface fault traces alone. Thus, attempts to match lithostratigraphic domains to surface faulting have revealed some disagreements in the positions of suspected terranes. Furthermore, the subsurface structure of this region remains relatively unknown. Therefore, high-resolution geophysical data are required to determine the locations of terrane boundaries. Magnetotelluric data and telluric-only data were acquired across Southern Mongolia on a profle along a longitude of approximately 100.5° E. The profle extends ~ 350 km from the Hangai Mountains, across the Gobi–Altai Mountains, to the China–Mongolia border. The data were used to generate an electrical resistivity model of the crust and upper mantle, presented here, that can contribute to the understanding of the structure of this region, and of the evolution of the Central Asian Orogenic Belt.

  • Ölüm Ve Zulmün Üç Hali: Birinci Dünya Savaşı'nda Bitlis
    Akademik İncelemeler Dergisi (Journal of Academic Inquiries) 1 Cilt/Volume: 9, Sayı/Issue: 2, Yıl/Year: 2014 Ölüm ve Zulmün Üç Hali: Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Bitlis Cephesi Three State of Death and Oppression: Bitlis Front in World War I Adem Ölmez Özet Bu makalede Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nda Bitlis’te Müslümanların ve Erme- nilerin çektiği sıkıntılar, üç aşama/hal halinde anlatılmaktadır. Birinci aşa- ma, Rusların ilk taarruzları sırasında Müslümanlara yaptıkları katliamlardır. İkinci aşama, 1915 ortalarında yerli Ermenilerin çektiği sıkıntılardır. Bilin- diği gibi, Rusların geri çekilmesi üzerine bölgedeki Ermeniler korunmasız kaldılar. Bu süreçte Müslümanların saldırılarına maruz kaldılar ve göçe zor- landılar. Üçüncü hal ise, 1916 başlarında Rusların yeniden saldırıya geçme- leriyle başladı. 1916 başlarından itibaren Bitlis üzerinden güneye ilerlemeyi planladılar; ancak planları istedikleri gibi gitmedi. Bitlis’te düzenli ordularla milis güçlerinin ittifak ettiği büyük bir direnişle karşılaştılar. Rus-Ermeni bir- likleri Bitlis’i geçebilmek için büyük katliamlar yaptılar. Müslüman ahalinin yaşadığı yerlerde kadın, çocuk ve ihtiyarlardan oluşan grupları toplu olarak katlettiler. Rus Ermeni kuvvetleri yeniden Müslüman ahaliye zulmetmeye başladılar. Bu süreç Rusya’da Bolşevik devriminin belirtilerinin görülmeye başlamasına kadar devam etti. Ermenilerin Ruslarla birlikte hareket ederek eski komşuları olan Müslümanlara zulmetmesi Müslümanlar arasında Er- menilere karşı büyük nefretlerin oluşmasına zemin hazırladı. Daha sonraki olaylarda bu nefretlerin büyük payı oldu. Anahtar Kelimeler:Bitlis, Birinci Dünya Savaşı, Ermeni, Rus, Kürt Milis- leri. Doç.

Cerpa ([email protected]) Abstract The Eocene tectonic evolution of the easternmost Caribbean Plate (CP) boundary, i.e. the Lesser Antilles subduction zone (LASZ), is debated. Recents works shed light on a peculiar period of tectonic duality in the arc/back-arc regions. A compressive-to-transpressive regime occurred in the north, while rifting and seafloor spreading occurred in Grenada basin to the south.
