Drawing on the literature on minorities' and ethnic groups' perceptions of the police, this article investigates the differences between Kurds and Turks in terms of their perceptions of the police in Turkey. We conducted survey research using a nationally representative sample of 1,804 people. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that Kurds in Turkey have a more negative perception of the police than Turks, regardless of their gender, education, income, party affiliation, and sectarian identity. It is concluded that the historical relationship between Kurds and the Turkish state has had a decisive effect on how Kurds perceive the police.
Experience in various countries demonstrated that populist leaders enfeeble democracy. Once elected, populist leaders concentrate power in their hands while undermining horizontal checks on their power. By drawing upon the Trump presidency in the U.S., this article reveals one of the dynamics in which populist leaders bypass institutions of horizontal checks in policy-making. It argues that populist leaders use social media platforms to disseminate discourse to convince people that a certain course of action is necessary and thereafter bypass formal institutions in policy-making. Trump used discourse first to discipline the federal bureaucracy, second to roll back Obama-era social and environmental regulations, and third to reorient the US migration policy. His discourse became pervasive thanks to his efficient use of Twitter, which allowed him to achieve political change without going through formal institutional channels.
This study presents a new theoretical framework for understanding one of the ways in which populists generate support in elections. It argues that populist movements securitize elections by triggering perceptions of ontological insecurity among voters. Through this strategy, populist movements amplify voters’ negative image of the country they live in and the challenges they face, which contributes to populist movements’ electoral success. Building upon this theoretical framework, this study offers an explanation for the 2015 double general elections in Turkey. The Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, AKP) experienced disappointment after losing its parliamentary majority in the June 2015 elections. However, the AKP increased its votes by 8.6 percent in the November 2015 elections. Between these two elections, the AKP had used the Kurdish question to trigger perceptions of ontological insecurity, which enabled it to securitize the elections in November. This strategy helped the AKP win the November elections.
Robotic desktop devices have been used for academic purposes for a variety of investigation and development studies. Desktop devices for academic/educational purposes have been highly anticipated especially in the fields of haptics, teleoperation systems, and control studies. This paper's motivation is to present the steps of designing, manufacturing, and implementing of Educational Desktop Robot R 3 D to be used for haptics, teleoperation, and redundancy control studies. The design, manufacturing details, kinematic, and dynamic model of the robot are described in the manuscript. Additionally, a case study is carried out for end effector control in task space is given and the results are shared. ß 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Hoewel veel organisaties actief diversiteitsbeleid voeren, zijn diversiteitsinterventies niet altijd even effectief gebleken. In dit artikel bespreken wij verschillende knelpunten bij het succesvol implementeren van diversiteitsmaatregelen. Hierbij constateren we dat wetenschap en praktijk zowel inhoudelijk als methodisch niet altijd goed op elkaar aansluiten en dat het nodig is deze gaten te dichten om effectief diversiteitsbeleid vorm te geven en om wetenschappelijke kennis te vergroten. Specifiek stellen we dat, om effectief te zijn, diversiteitsbeleid zich niet alleen dient te richten op het vergroten van de diversiteit van het werknemersbestand (focus op aantallen), maar ook op het creëren van een inclusief werkklimaat (focus op cultuur). Daarnaast beargumenteren we dat succesvol diversiteitsbeleid zich niet alleen richt op het creëren en managen van zichtbare verschillen (bijv. geslacht, leeftijd en etniciteit), maar ook op het omgaan met onzichtbare verschillen (bijv. persoonlijkheid, werkervaring en seksuele oriëntatie). Vervolgens stellen we dat een belangrijk deel van de oplossing ligt in de gebruikte methodiek en presenteren we een model van onderzoeksgestuurd diversiteitsbeleid. We constateren dat het in de praktijk niet altijd duidelijk is hoe organisaties dit kunnen realiseren en bespreken de mogelijke oorzaken hiervan. We sluiten af met concrete handvatten om dit model in de praktijk te brengen.
