    Accountability through the annual reports of state universities in Turkey
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-10-20) Engin, Rıdvan; Demirbaş, Tolga; İktisadi İdari Bilimler Fakültesi; Maliye Bölümü
    State universities in Turkey have been implementing performance-based budgeting system for about ten years. The system aims to improve the effectiveness of service delivery by enabling universities to allocate their resources according to their own specific objectives taking into account the views of their stakeholders. This system, which is based on outputs and results, requires state universities to disclose their performance level to the public through annual reports. The evidence on the accountability level of state universities in Turkey is very scarce. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate to what extent the state universities in Turkey can account for their stakeholders through the annual reports they published. The authors conducted a content analysis of performance audit reports on 59 state universities published by the Turkish Court of Accounts, the external audit body, to achieve this goal.

    Self-help literature in Turkey from the perspective of translation studies
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-09-16) Gümüş, Volga Yılmaz
    There has been a great upsurge in the number of self-help materials, particularly the books, at the global and local scale. Translation is of particular importance in this market since self-help trends enter the local markets through translated works. Books of particularly American or European origin that have entered the Turkish publishing market through translation have resulted in an increase in the number of same genre books produced in the Turkish language. These translations create a large self-help market every year together with the ones written originally in Turkish. This study sets out to provide an overview of self-help publishing in Turkey with respect to objects (i.e. translated and indigenous self-help books). In order to achieve this aim, the study borrows concepts from Even-Zohar’s systemic approach to translation. With an overview of the self-help literature and with the analysis of the corpus of self-help books published in Turkey, this study aims to contribute to the research in the field of self-help literature from the perspective of Translation Studies. The present study has shown that translations from the West have contributed to the development of a ‘young’ literature, inspiring the production of similar works in the Turkish culture.
