Article Türkiye’de İklim Değişikliği: Yapısal Kırılma Analizinden Kanıtlar(2026) Ekinci, Mehmet; Şentürk, Muhammet ŞakirSince the second half of the 20th century, scientific evidence has firmly established climate change as an irreversible and serious global issue, leading to a steady increase in the number of studies addressing the topic. Temperature and precipitation are two primary indicators of climate change. This study investigates the presence of climate change in Türkiye’s NUTS-2 regions by examining long-term trends in these two variables. Data covering the period from 1950 to 2021 were obtained from the station-based records of the Turkish State Meteorological Service. The datasets were aggregated by NUTS-2 regions, and the Bai-Perron multiple structural break analysis was applied to identify significant shifts in temperature and precipitation patterns. The analysis detected structural breakpoints in average temperature across 25 out of 26 regions, with the exception of the TRA1 region (which includes Erzurum, Erzincan, and Bayburt provinces). These breakpoints primarily occurred during the 1990s and early 2000s. Across all regions, temperatures exhibited varying degrees of increase. The most significant temperature rise was observed in the TRB2 region (Van, Muş, Bitlis, and Hakkari), while the smallest increase occurred in the TR81 region (Zonguldak, Karabük, and Bartın). No structural breakpoints were identified in precipitation levels, suggesting that the pronounced changes in temperature have not yet been mirrored in precipitation patterns. However, when precipitation trends were analyzed relative to the years in which temperature breakpoints occurred, notable regional variations in precipitation amounts were observed. The effects of urbanization and industrialization on temperature change were also examined. The analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between temperature change and urbanization, but no significant relationship with industrialization.Article Citation - WoS: 3Continuity and Change in Turkish Foreign Policy Toward Africa(Hale Sivgin, 2008) Uchehara, Kieran E.This article aims to give an overview of Turkey's improving relations with African countries. It indicates that Turkey's international relations concentrate more on her relations with the European Union, Caucasians, Balkans, the Middle East and USA. Turkey's opening up to Africa today, is a new development in her international relations. However, such relations had existed during the times of the Ottoman empire, especially with north Africa. Turkish academics, universities and media have not yet grasped the importance of Africa in the academic sense and as such none of them has a center on African research. Likewise, the African academics, universities and media. Other than communications between Turkey and African countries and related institutions on the subject matter, it is not possible to talk about significant serious data on Turkey-Africa relations. The relations between Turkey and Africa were on each individual African country's basis. However, with the recent development in the world today known as "globalization", Turkey is trying to improve her political and economic relations with the entire African continent and with the recent development, we have seen that there are high level visits between Turkey and African conutries. Trade relations between Turkey and African countries are in progress.Master Thesis Büyük Güç ile Küçük Devlet Arasında: Türkiye'nin Iı. Dünya Savaşı'ndaki Mücadelesi(2018) Şengil, Mehmet Ali; Ünal, HasanKüçük devletlerin büyük güçler karşısında etkisiz kalması bir kader midir? Veya büyük güçlerin mücadelelerinde arada kalmamak için bir yol var mıdır? Ya da küçük devlet görüntüsünde olup, aslında büyük güçlerle küçük devletler arasında konumlanan ülkeler olabilir mi? Türkiye'nin İkinci Dünya Savaşı boyunca sergilediği duruş, bu anlamda bir model oluşturuyor. Diğer küçük devletler arasında Türkiye, denge politikasına dayanan becerikli diplomasisiyle öne çıktı. Bu tez, askeri ve iktisadi olarak zayıf bir ülkenin, hassas, karmaşık ve değişken dengeler içerisinde, sırtını jeopolitik konumuna ve diplomasi becerisine dayayarak hayatta kalma mücadelesine dikkat çekmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Savaşın tam ortasında, savaş dışı kalmış bir ülkenin verdiği mücadele, teorik bakış açısı da dahil edilerek göz ele alınacaktır.
