Examination of Women with Disabilities’ Representation in Turkish Cinema
from the Social Work Perspective
- Authors: Fatma KAHRAMAN GÜLOĞLU; Bircan KARASU
  Abstract: In order to understand how power of representation in cinema films shapes the social perception about women with disabilities, movies should be analyzed from a social work perspective. Women with disabilities, facing intersectional discrimination, are mostly portrayed with negative images in cinema. The aim of this study is to examine the presentation of female with disabilities characters in Turkish cinema films within the framework of moral, medical, social and human rights disability models and to reveal their images in films from a social work perspective. Thus, it is to discuss how the empowering approach of social work can empower women with disabilities through cinema. Siegfried Jäger's approach in critical discourse analysis was used as a method. 8 films with a disabled female character presentation were analyzed. Eight theme groups were identified in the analyzes: Victimage, victimizating; de-sexing or emphasizing being a woman, masculinity, being a victim of sexual violence; needy, helpless, vulnerable, needing support; restriction, overprotection; insensitivity, exclusion, humiliation; hidden, quiet, passive; being dependent; fighting negative images. It has been determined that the representation of women with disabilities in Yeşilçam Cinema is depicted as sick, needy, dependent and away from gender roles, with a medical and moral model-weighted point of view. In the Post-2000 Turkish Cinema, on the other hand, there is a representation dominated by the social model, trying to adapt to the society, but encountering social barriers at the point of work, education and starting a family. Little emphasis has been placed on the human rights model.

Newspaper Printing
- Authors: Mustafa KISA
  Abstract: Various brands and various structures of inks are used in web offset printing machines that print newspapers. In this study, the determination of the viscosity of the CMYK series Couldset type inks of three different preferred brands and the results of the viscosity values at +25 C degrees were examined. As a result of the test, it has been seen that three different ink brands have different values that cannot be ignored even though they are the same color series. If the values are below or above the desired ranges, the desired print quality on newsprint will not be achieved. As a result, there will be tearing on the paper, swelling in the screens, color distortions, loss of sharpness and contrast during printing. Newspaper printing machine with high printing speed will increase raw material loss due to high printing speed in web offset printing machines. In order to avoid such quality, time and financial losses, ink manufacturers should establish production standards.
