Yayın The 2007 Parliamentary elections in Turkey: Between securitisation and desecuritisation(Oxford Univ Press, 2009-01) Karakaya Polat, RabiaOn 22 July 2007, 84% of the Turkish public went to polling stations to cast their votes in General Election. The incumbent Justice and Development Party (AKP) won a landslide victory, receiving 47% of the vote, the largest share since the elections of 1957. The political debate before the elections focused on two issues: the election of the next president and a potential military incursion into Northern Iraq. These issues have become deeply ingrained into the two main ongoing salient issues in Turkey: political Islam and the Kurdish issue. Drawing upon concepts from Securitisation Theory, this article argues that the election results can be explained by reference to Turkey's longstanding regime problems and the perceptions of these problems by the public. An analysis of the securitisation and desecuritisation of political Islam and the Kurdish issue provides insights into the understanding of the election results and its implications for the future of democracy in Turkey.Yayın Formal thought disorder and familial risk in first-episode psychosis: A study of cortical thickness and neuroimaging-transcriptomic association analysis(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2026-01-16) Çabuk, Tuğçe; Zhang, Yuanchao; Palaniyappan, Lena; Şahin Çevik, Didenur; Avcı, Hanife; Çakmak, Işık Batuhan; Yılmaz Kafalı, Helin; Şenol, Bedirhan; Karlı Oğuz, Kader; Toulopoulou, TimotheaFormal thought disorder (FTD), a prominent feature of schizophrenia, encompasses disruptions in thought, language, and communication. This study examines cortical thickness (CT) alterations in first-episode psychosis (FEP) patients (N = 24), their siblings (SIB) (N = 21), and healthy controls (CON) (N = 21) to explore potential neural correlates of FTD. Using structural MRI, we analyzed whole-brain CT and its relationship with positive and negative FTD measured by Thought and Language Index. Out-of-sample spatial correlations of gene expression with regional CT were also performed using a transcriptomic dataset. FEP had significant CT reductions in right middle frontal gyrus (MFG) compared with SIB and CON and in superior frontal gyrus (SFG) compared to CON; but SIB did not differ from CON. GLM analyses demonstrated that negative FTD exerted a significant main effect on CT in the MFG and SFG. By contrast, positive FTD showed no significant associations with CT. Neuroimaging-transcriptomic association analysis identified key biological pathways linked to cortical morphology. These findings emphasize the specific association between negative FTD and CT alterations in frontal brain regions, confirming prior reports. Future research should examine larger cohorts and investigate additional FTD subtypes to further elucidate neural correlates and potential familial risks of schizophrenia.
