Choke points are social, cultural, political, institutional, or psychological obstructions of social-ecological systems that constrain progress toward an environmental objective. Using a soft systems methodology, different types of chokes points were identified in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, the Baltic, and the North and Mediterranean seas. The choke points were of differing types: cultural and political choke points were identified in Barra and the Mediterranean, respectively, whereas the choke points in the North Sea and Baltic Sea were dependent on differing values toward the mitigation of eutrophication. We conclude with suggestions to identify and address choke points.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE INTERCONNECTIONS BETWEEN FORMS OF OPPRESSION FROM AN ECOFEMINIST AND DECOLONIAL PERSPECTIVE Kesikkulak, Umut; Parkan, Barış; İbrahimhakkıoğlu, Fulden; Department of Philosophy (2022-2-11) This thesis investigates the interconnections between forms of oppression and the role of oppression of nonhuman nature in these interconnections by implementing a conceptual and logical analysis of the oppressive subjectivity, which functions to create, maintain, and justify oppression. A close reading of the studies of ecofeminist philosophers Karen Warren and Val Plumwood will reveal that dualist thinking is the necessary condition for justifying the oppressor's superiority, which is essential to justify...
Investigating modern industrial heritage through value based mapping of Zonguldak central scrubber area Can, Nilay Nida; Akkar Ercan, Z. Müge.; Urban Design in City and Regional Planning Department (2019) With the effect of industrialization, modernism has become a movement that transformed social lifestyle and manufacturing types concerning both urban, architecture, and socio-economic relations. Nevertheless, produced spaces of modernism, particularly industrial buildings, have been abandoned and become idle in conjunction with changing economic and social relations in industrial cities like Zonguldak. On the other hand, modern industrial buildings as a production space exhibit social, spatial, and socio-ec...
The role of social identity and collective memory in predicting in-group bias and collective action in Turkey‟s alevis Bükün, Mehmet Fatih; Cingöz Ulu, Banu; Department of Psychology (2014) The aim of this thesis is to examine the relationship between social identity, collective action participation and in-group bias in the Alevi community in Anatolia. In doing this, the mediatory role of collective memory is also investigated. In examining collective memory, one positive event and one negative event that Alevis had lived through in the past were selected (Namely, the re-opening of Haji Bektash Veli Dervish Lodge in 1964 which was closed in 1925 was chosen as the positive event and Madımak Mas...
Improving economy by education and human capital: the impact of science, technology, research and development Altun Taber, Ebru; Tunç, Gül İpek; Department of Economics (2019) This thesis is based on cross-sectional data analyses by using OLS methods to examine differences in countries’ per capita GDPs and specifically the effects of human capital, science, technology, research and development on these differences. The Human Capital Index (HCI) and PISA science scores make two different groups including 120 countries and 66 countries respectively. Countries ranked in terms of Human Capital Index are sub-divided into two parts according to their income class, which are high income...
