Erdogan’s Turkey : Islamism, Identity and Memory
This book explores the role of religion in the transformation of Turkey under the reign of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, AKP).It attempts to come to terms with the current political crisis in Turkey and the government’s move toward authoritarianism.The chapters included in this book examine various ideological, political and social factors that have driven the transformation of the AKP.The book seeks to answer questions about how and in what direction have the AKP’s objectives and strategies changed in the last two decades the party has been in power, and the divergence between professed ideals and practices.The book also focuses on the major repercussions that the 15 July 2016 coup d'état attempt has had on key Turkish state institutions and policies, and how it has also affected Turkish foreign policy toward regional and international powers.The book addresses the many gaps and omissions in earlier studies of the AKP, and posits that there have been a more complex set of circumstances impacting Turkish politics since 2002 and that it makes little sense to continue to view Turkish politics as just a clash between Islam and secularism.Erdogan’s Turkey is a significant new contribution to the study of Turkish politics and politics in general, and will be a great resource for academics, researchers and advanced students of Political Science, International Relations, History, Geography and Sociology.The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal Middle East Critique.

Entrepreneurial Identity and Identity Work
Identities can potentially serve as powerful elements that both drive, and are shaped by, entrepreneurial actions.Entrepreneurial identity is a complex construct with multidisciplinary roots, and therefore there is scope to more fully enrich our theoretical understanding of identity and identity formation, at both individual and organizational levels, and their relationship to entrepreneurial processes, practices and activities.This book highlights two key features of contemporary research on entrepreneurial identity.First, to see it as a dynamic rather than a (relatively) fixed and unchanging feature, shaped by different life episodes.It is increasingly fluid, multilevel and multidimensional, comprising multiple subidentities rather than a univocal (and unchanging) self.As such, it has a profound effect not only on the way we feel, think and behave, but also on what we aim to achieve.Accordingly, it is vital that its dynamics are better understood, particularly in determining how actors behave in an entrepreneurial context.The book’s second focus is on identity work as the process through which entrepreneurial identities are formed and shaped, and the contributors demonstrate how the dynamics of identity formation relate to entrepreneurial outcomes in a range of individual and organizational contexts.This book was originally published as a special issue of Entrepreneurship & Regional Development.

Theoretical Neuroscience : Understanding Cognition
This textbook is an introduction to Systems and Theoretical/Computational Neuroscience, with a particular emphasis on cognition.It consists of three parts: Part I covers fundamental concepts and mathematical models in computational neuroscience, along with cutting-edge topics.Part II explores the building blocks of cognition, including working memory (how the brain maintains and manipulates information "online" without external input), decision making (how choices are made among multiple options under conditions of uncertainty and risk) and behavioral flexibility (how we direct attention and control actions).Part III is dedicated to frontier research, covering models of large-scale multi-regional brain systems, Computational Psychiatry and the interface with Artificial Intelligence.The author highlights the perspective of neural circuits as dynamical systems, and emphasizes a cross-level mechanistic understanding of the brain and mind, from genes and cell types to collective neural populations and behavior.Overall, this textbook provides an opportunity for readers to become well versed in this highly interdisciplinary field of the twenty-first century. Key FeaturesRooted in the most recent advances in experimental studies of basic cognitive functionsIntroduces neurobiological and mathematical concepts so that the book is self-containedHeavily illustrated with high-quality figures that help to illuminate neurobiological concepts, present experimental findings and explain mathematical modelsConcludes with a list of core cognitive behavior tasks, ten take-home messages and three open questions for future researchComputer model codes are available via GitHub for hands-on practice

What creates identity?
Identity is created through a combination of factors such as personal experiences, cultural background, social interactions, and self-perception. Our upbringing, beliefs, values, and relationships all play a role in shaping who we are and how we see ourselves. Additionally, external influences such as societal norms, media representation, and historical context can also impact our identity formation. Ultimately, identity is a complex and multifaceted concept that is continuously evolving as we navigate through life.

What is gender identity?
Gender identity is a deeply-held sense of one's own gender, which may or may not align with the sex assigned at birth. It is a personal understanding of oneself as male, female, a blend of both, or neither. Gender identity is separate from biological sex and can be fluid and diverse, encompassing a wide range of identities beyond the traditional binary of male and female. It is an integral aspect of a person's identity and how they perceive themselves in relation to the world.

Archiving Caribbean Identity : Records, Community, and Memory
Archiving Caribbean Identity highlights the "Caribbeanization" of archives in the region, considering what those archives could include in the future and exploring the potential for new records in new formats.Interpreting records in the broadest sense, the 15 chapters in this volume explore a wide variety of records that represent new archival interpretations.The book is split into two parts, with the first part focusing on record forms that are not generally considered "archival" in traditional Western practice.The second part explores more "traditional" archival collections and demonstrates how these collections are analysed and presented from the perspective of Caribbean peoples.As a whole, the volume suggests how colonial records can be repurposed to surface Caribbean narratives.Reflecting on the unique challenges faced by developing countries as they approach their archives, the volume considers how to identify and archive records in the forms and formats that reflect the postcolonial and decolonized Caribbean, how to build an archive of the people that documents contemporary society and reflects Caribbean memory, and how to repurpose the colonial archives so that they assist the Caribbean in reclaiming its history. Archiving Caribbean Identity demonstrates how non-textual cultural traces function as archival records and how folk-centred perspectives disrupt conventional understandings of records.The book should thus be of interest to academics and students engaged in the study of archives, memory, culture, history, sociology, and the colonial and postcolonial experience.

Regulating Transnational Heritage : Memory, Identity and Diversity
There is a vast body of international and national law that regulates cultural heritage.However, the current regulation remains quite blind to the so called "transnational heritage".This is heritage where there is no community recognized in law that it can be directly attributed to and that can be responsible for its safekeeping and preservation.It can also be items of heritage where the claim of ownership is disputed between two or more peoples or communities.Transnational heritage challenges the idea of monolithic, mono-cultural, ethno-national states.There are a number of examples of such cultural heritage, for instance the Buddhist Bamiyan statutes in Afghanistan, Palmyra in Syria, the Jewish heritage of Iraq, or various items that are currently housed in large, often Western, museums, as a result of colonial practices.This book explores the regulation of transnational heritage.By discussing many cases of transnational heritage and the problems that arise due to the lack of regulation the book analyses the manifestations of memories and constructions of communities through heritage.It focuses particularly on the concept of community.How are communities constructed in cultural heritage law and what falls outside of the definitions of community?The book underlines that the issues surrounding transnational heritage involve more than a communal right to culture.It is argued that transnational heritage also directly affects wider matters of law such as citizenship, human rights, sovereignty, as well as the movement of people and cultural goods.

Is gender identity sexist?
Gender identity itself is not inherently sexist. Gender identity is a deeply personal and individual experience that reflects a person's internal sense of their own gender, which may or may not align with the sex they were assigned at birth. However, societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes around gender can be sexist, as they often reinforce traditional gender roles and perpetuate inequality between genders. It is important to separate the concept of gender identity from these societal constructs in order to promote understanding and acceptance of diverse gender identities.

What is identity theft?
Identity theft is a type of crime where someone wrongfully obtains and uses another person's personal information, such as their name, Social Security number, or credit card details, without their permission. This stolen information is then used to commit fraud or other illegal activities, often resulting in financial loss or damage to the victim's reputation. Identity theft can have serious consequences for the victim, including damage to their credit score, difficulty obtaining loans or credit, and potential legal issues. It is important for individuals to safeguard their personal information and regularly monitor their financial accounts to detect any suspicious activity.

Is cloning identity fraud?
Cloning is not the same as identity fraud. Cloning refers to the creation of a genetically identical copy of an organism, while identity fraud involves using someone else's personal information for fraudulent purposes. While cloning may raise ethical and moral concerns, it is not the same as the criminal act of identity fraud. However, the potential misuse of cloned genetic material could potentially lead to identity fraud if used to create false identities.
