Technology causes the emergence of new forms of behaviour in many areas, by making daily practices of behaviour change. Technology, which has the position of forcing the social life to change drastically, has also become active in personal relationships, as well. With digitalisation that has accelerated especially since the late 20th century, a transformation in information and communication technologies has been witnessed, and after that, first the internet, and then the social media, where the individuals and groups can share with each other or with a as, sharing the class notes and achieving the scientific resources. On the other, hand although the academics think that the social media supplies an interactive sharing between academics-student relationships, they think that the traditional communication methods make it more respectable in the eyes of the students themselves. It is seen that the determinant of this attitude of the academicians is the traditional relationships arising from professional and social status.
Oil and natural gas, which are the most used energy sources, are consumed as raw materials in many fields. The development of technology and population increase makes these energy sources important for financial markets and the overall economy. Turkey, energy importing and developing country, maybe influenced intensely by changes in energy prices. In this study, long-term and short-term relationships between energy prices and Borsa Istanbul indices using daily data between 01.01.2007-31.10.2017 were examined by Johansen cointegration, vector autoregression (VAR), Granger causality tests, and impulse-response functions. The long-term relationship between energy prices and Borsa Istanbul indices was not found. On the other hand, it was concluded that energy prices positively impacted Borsa Istanbul indices in the short-term. Furthermore, oil prices Granger cause natural gas prices, Food Beverage, and Chemical Petrol Plastic Indices.
Spaces that have the identity of public spaces function as mechanisms of meaning production. Under the study, the differences between spaces for producing meaning and the role of the media in the production of meaning to the extent of the relationships of space users with media are examined through the example of traditional coffee shops and Starbucks as an example of modern coffee shops in Turkey. The main purpose of this study is to determine the distinctive structure of the two public spaces, the demographic characteristics of the people who prefer these two spaces, and the differences in their relations with the media. In this context, the study was carried out on the coffeehouses and new generation of coffee shops in Kayseri Province in order to understand the two different public spaces, and the relations of the people in this area with the media and the extent to which the media determines the agenda of the people belonging to two different places and the basic differences. Traditional coffeehouses, which emerged as events that have changed or resisted to a certain extent modern life in the triangle of space, human and communication technologies, and Starbucks-style shops, which are among the meeting spaces of modern life, constitute the examination step of this research in terms of understanding and interpreting the social environments. The other dimensions of the study consist of the people who spend time in two different places and the messages they receive from their communication tools and of examining their differences occurred in terms of effects. In this context, the method of observation and semi- structured interview technique was used in the study carried out to understand the communication technologies and media relations of the people who spend their time in the relatively traditional neighborhood coffeehouses and Starbucks, which represent the modernity and is located in the more active points of the city. The results of the research show that both public spaces have an effective position as a tool to determine public agenda as media differentiates according to the space in the using form of social media and traditional media, while the demographic characteristics of the people have decisive features to choose coffeehouses and new generation of coffee shops.
The Covid-19 pandemic, which started in China and has spread all over the world, has had various social, political and economic consequences. With new measures implemented due to this pandemic in Turkey, particularly in the field of education, the 2020–2021 spring semester was officially declared to be completed through distance education, effective as of March 16, 2020. In this study, the problems in distance education were examined in the light of the distance education experiences of communication academics teaching at communication faculties in Turkey during the pandemic. Focusing on the relationship between education and communication, the study aimed to reveal communication academic staff’s evaluation and views of distance education. The research, which used a questionnaire to obtain qualitative and quantitative data, was carried out by reaching 91 participants, who constitute a sample of 1100 communication academics who teach at 65 communication faculties (private and state), by e-mail. The results were analyzed through 5-point Likert scales under the categories titled (i) Criteria for communication conditions, (ii) Levels of agreement with propositions related to face-to-face education methods, (iii) Levels of agreement with propositions of distance education methods, (iv) Levels of agreement with the effectiveness of distance education, and (v) Perspectives on the instructional methods by the content of the course, and interpreted in light of the qualitative data about the general assessment of the distance education process during the pandemic. Analysis results of frequency tests, descriptive tests and qualitative data showed that communication preferences were an important factor in determining the efficiency of training methods. While the face-to-face education model is preferred over distance education due to its efficiency by communication academics, they attribute the success of distance education to using visual, audio and written materials. In addition, the success of distance education and face-to-face education models was found to vary by the nature of the course (applied-theoretical).
