Title: Unwanted others of the city: Counter-cultural production of the Roma people of Urla-Turkey
Authors: Uştuk, Ozan
Abstract: This article examines a case of urban displacement and its impact on the local Roma community by uncovering the discursive strategies of the local governments and the tactical responses of the local people. Based on two-year-long ethnographic research, this study aims to understand the intricate dynamics of the counter-cultural production of the Roma people as a response to gentrification policies of local governments. The rapid rise of the rent value of land has motivated the capital class to force an exile strategy on Roma and accelerated existing segregation policies. During this time, some discursive strategies to manufacture public consent about the gentrification have circulated to change the representation of the Roma identity, replacing their imagery in mainstream society by mainly signifying them as the undeserving poor. This research aims to understand how strategic discourses and actions have positioned Roma in the societal and cultural sphere and in response, how everyday tactics of the Roma engenders counter-cultural forms through intercultural communication.

Title: NKX3.1 expression contributes to epithelial-mesenchymal transition of prostate cancer cells
Authors: Saydullaeva, Iroda; Debeleç Bütüner, Bilge; Korkmaz, Kemal Sami
Abstract: Studies demonstrate that inflammation synergizes with highgrade aggressive prostate tumor development and ultimately metastatic spread, in which a lot of work has been done in recent years. However, the clear mechanism of inflammation inciting prostate cancer remains largely uncharacterized. Our previous study has shown that the conditioned media (CM)-mediated LNCaP cell migration is partially correlated with the loss of expression of the tumor suppressor NKX3.1. Here, we continue to investigate the inflammation-mediated migration of prostate cancer cells, and the role of NKX3.1 in this process to gain insights into cell migration-related changes comprehensively. Earlier, the model of inflammation in the tumor micro environment have been optimized by our research group; here, we continue to investigate the time-dependent effect of CM exposure together with NKX3.1 changes, in which we observed that these changes play important roles in gaining heterogeneous epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) phenotype. Hence, this is an important parameter of tumor progression; we depleted NKX3.1 expression using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and examined the migrating cell clusters after exposure to inflammatory cytokines. We found that the migrated cells clearly demonstrate reversible loss of E-cadherin expression, which is consistent with subsequent vimentin expression alterations in comparison to control cells. Moreover, the data suggest that the AR mediated transcriptional program also contributes to mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition (MET) in prostate cancer progression. Furthermore, the quantitative proteomic analysis showed that migrated subpopulations from the same cell line presented different phenotypes in which the proteins overexpressed are involved in cell metabolism and RNA processing. According to KEGG pathway analysis, the ABC transporters were found to be the most significant. Thus, the dynamic process of cellular migration favors diverse genetic compositions under changing tumor microenvironments. The different levels of invasiveness are supported by shifting the cells in between these EMT and MET phenotypes.

Title: İzmir'in bir dağ köyü: Yamanlar ve Yamanlar Yörükleri üzerine etnotarihsel bir inceleme
Authors: Uştuk, Ozan; Özcan Gönülal, Yasemin
Abstract: This study examines the history, language, social, and economic transformation of the Yuruks living in the Yamanlar Village located in the Karsiyaka district, where there is relatively little information in the literature despite its proximity to the Izmir city center. Information collected from the Ottoman Era cemetery adjoining the village reveals that the Yamanlar Yuruks have lived here for at least 400 years. Mount Yamanlar, where the village is located, is of great importance because of its ancient history, as it witnessed the founding of Izmir (Smyrna). The social and economic lifestyle in the village has transformed as the city expanded toward residential areas atop Mount Yamanlar. The loss of traditional livelihood practices challenged the villagers and severely influenced their customs, which might be considered valuable pieces of cultural heritage. In this study, we conducted fieldwork, during which various data collection methods and techniques were employed to describe daily life in the village. Within the scope of this study, semi-structured and unstructured interviews were conducted with the local people, and an oral historical study was carried out. With this method, we aimed to present an ethnohistorical description of the Yamanlar Village by trying to establish a balance between the analysis of both written documents and oral data to make sense of the social and economic change it has undergone and to contribute to the literature on Izmir Yuruks. © 2023 Cyprus International University.

Title: Field experiments in bargaining
Authors: Dindaroğlu, Burak; Ertaç, Seda
Abstract: Understanding price formation and surplus division in bargaining contexts has long been of interest to economists. Laboratory experiments contribute to our understanding of bargaining by inducing valuations and costs, which are usually unobserved in natural negotiation settings, and allow control over the negotiation process. Field experiments, on the other hand, allow economists to study bargaining in more natural contexts with higher external validity, and can be particularly useful when bargaining behavior draws on context-specific characteristics and experiences that may be stripped in lab settings or involves biases that would not surface under observability. In this chapter, we provide an overview of field experiments studying bargaining behavior and outcomes in a variety of settings, from bargaining for auto rickshaw to markets for livestock. We offer a methodological discussion, position field experiments in bargaining in the tradition of field experiments in economics at large, and highlight difficulties in the design and implementation of fieldwork for such environments. We also discuss potential areas and issues where future field experiments are of special importance for understanding price formation in bargaining. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
