Article THE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY OF UNIVERSITIES AND ITS IMPACT ON BUILDING ORGANIZATIONAL REPUTATION: THE CASE OF MARDIN ARTUKLU UNIVERSITY(MAU, 2019) Abedtalas, MusallamThis article investigates the stakeholder's recognition for the Mardin Artuklu University's activities relating to social responsibility and its impact on the university's organizational reputation. Using data collected from a straddle sample of 919 persons of stakeholders of the university, we carried out ANOVA, two independent samples t test and multiple linear regression. The results suggest that there is less than medium level of recognition, the administrative staff has the highest level of recognition between the stakeholders and the social responsibility, in general, has very important role in building the organizational reputation for the university, with different levels of importance for the different fields of practicing social responsibilityArticle Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Determinants of the economic adaptation of refugees: the case of Midyat Camp(2021) Aljasem, Abdulnaser; Abedtalas, Musallam; Lokman Toprak, Wissam Aldien Aloklah, Abdulhamid Alawak, Şehmus AykolIn the context of the bottom-up approach to development and poverty reduction, this is the first study to use the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA), with a slight adjustment, to study the economic adaptation of refugees within camps. The object- ive of this study was to explore the factors affecting the economic adaptation of refugees in Midyat Refugee Camp in Turkey. The study used a focus group to help design the questionnaire that was subsequently used to collect data from a sample of 393 households in Midyat Camp. The data was used to estimate a Structural Equations Model. The findings indicated that the most important factors in deter- mining refugees’ economic adaptation are human capital, social capital and institutions.Conference Object دور القطاع المصرفي في نقل السياسة النقدية في سورية(2009) Abedtalas, MusallamThis paper testes the narrow channel of transmission monetary policy, the banks loans channel. We found an active transmission of monetary policy signals through this channel with the level of banks’ liquidity.Article Syrian higher education and social capital in times of conflict(University College London, 2020) Abedtalas, MusallamThis paper explores the role of higher education (HE) in fostering social capital as a means of building a sustainable peace in Syria. We draw on a qualitative study in Northeast Syria to argue that the HE sector is currently playing a negative to weak role in developing social capital as it is highly politicised and suffers from outdated curricula and unsuitable teaching approaches.Article The Factors of Residents' Support for Sustainable Tourism Development(AHM International, 2016) Abedtalas, Musallam; Toprak, LokamnIn this paper we examined the factors of residents’ support for sustainable tourism development in Mardin city-Turkey, in the context of gender as social structure. We found that people are sensitive about positive and negative effects of tourism, in association with society attachment and involvement, with bigger role for the later. And the perceptions of positive effects reduce their evaluation of the negative effects. Also we found that women are less active in transforming their attitude toward the effects of tourism to behavior toward sustainable tourism. But they are ready, more than men, to support sustainable tourism and ignore its negative effects, in spite of their higher sensitivity for the negative effects. So we recommend raising the role of local community and giving women more chances in the different levels of tourism activities.Article The Determinants of Tourism Demand in Turkey(AHM International, 2015) Abedtalas, MusallamUsing data oftheinboundtourist arrivalsto Turkeyfrom France, Germany,UK, US,andNetherlands over the period 1986-2012, we appliedautoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach to test for cointegration, and we estimated long run model anderror correction model for tourism demand. The results referred that the most significant factor determines inboundtourist flows arethereal per capita income and realeffective exchange. We found weakeffects for price and financial crisis, but the political events playedastrong role differed from country to other.The added value of this article is the estimation of international tourism demandinTurkey using new approach and the newest data for TurkeyBook Turizm Ekonomisi(DETAY YAYINCILIK, 2017) Toprak, Lokman; Abedtalas, MusallamTourism as a subject of interdisciplinary scientific thinking is based on the application of relevant theories from different mother theories in order to contribute to a better understanding and mastering of problems of the real world of tourism. The mother discipline of the course is economics which is applied to tourism, more precisely tourism economics based on theories of international economics, new economic geography, industrial economics, environmental economics, and new political economics. The theoretical objective is to contribute to a body of knowledge which can sooner or later establish tourism economics as a sub-discipline of its self.Article دور العوامل الديمغرافية في تحديد الموقف السياسي للطلبة السوريين في جامعة ماردين من الحدث السوري(MAU, 2018) Abedtalas, MusallamThe Syrian event formed a social laboratory that can test various theories of social sciences. Given the intensity of the conflict and the depth of the fluctuations and changes created, there are clear horizontal and vertical divisions and overlapping of the Syrian society's political attitudes towards what is happening. The importance of demographic factors in this regard was remarkable, which is an opportunity to study the factors that determine the political attitude and highlight the demographic factors. Due to the special circumstances of Syria and the difficulty of reaching all segments of society, we chose to study the political attitude of the Syrian students at Mardin Artuklu University. We distributed a questionnaire on a random sample and 212 could be accepted. After carrying out the statistical analysis of the data it was found that the most important demographic factors contributing to determining the age of political attitude, Where the older segments of the youth tended to opposition mood, and the ethnic factor, where it was found that Arabs have an attitude closer to the opposition mood compared to Kurds. While there was no significant effect on the factors such as religion, financial situation and gender.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Testimonies of Syrian Academic Displacement Post-2011: Time, Place and the Agentic Self(Elsevier Ltd, 2020) McLaughlin, C.; Dillabough, J.; Fimyar, O.; Al Azmeh, Z.; Abdullateef, S.; Abedtalas, M.; Shaban, F.This article explores the experiences of protracted displacement in a group of 19 displaced Syrian academics now living in Turkey who are often referred to as the ‘precariat’–that is, a group or collective of people who are living in conditions of high unpredictability, insecurity and uncertainty. As part of a small-scale collaborative professional enquiry semi-structured interviews with these academics were conducted to understand the social, affective and professional experiences, needs and concerns of the academics during and after their forced displacement. The key concepts of ‘precarity’ and ‘crises of selfhood’, alongside memory and testimony, inform the analysis. This article seeks to provide an account of this collective experience and its complex character and concludes with observations on how one might understand the constraints on professional agency and how might one support displaced academics in such contexts. Solidarity in exile and the development of political friendships are argued for as a principle to inform all work (Arendt, 1958). © 2020Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 18Conflict, insecurity and the political economies of higher education: The case of Syria post-2011(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2018) Abedtalas, Musallam; Dillabough, Jo-Anne; Fimyar, Olena; McLaughlin, Colleen; Al-Azmeh, Zeina; Abdullateef, ShaherThis paper stems from a 12-month collaborative enquiry between a group of Syrian academics in exile in Turkey and academics from the University of Cambridge into the state of Syrian Higher Education after the onset of the conflict in 2011. The purpose of this paper is to draw on 19 open-ended interviews with exiled Syrian academics; two focus groups; mapping and timeline exercises; and 117 interviews collected remotely by collaborating Syrian academics with former colleagues and students who were still living inside Syria at the time of data collection. The findings of the research suggest that Syrian HE after 2011 was fragmented across regions; in some cases non-existent, and in others deemed to be in a state of reform in order to meet student needs. Key issues that emerged from this work are human rights’ abuses directed against academics and students including the detainment, purging and kidnapping of academics, an increased militarisation of university life and a substantive loss of academic and human capital. Design/methodology/approach – The overall design involved two workshops held in Turkey (in June and July, 2017) at which the Cambridge team explained the stages of undertaking qualitative research and planned the collaborative enquiry with Syrian co-researchers. The first workshop addressed the nature of qualitative research and explored the proposed methods of interviewing, using timelines and mapping. The instruments for interviewing were constructed in groups together and mapping was undertaken with the 21 Syrian academics in exile who attended the workshop. Syrian academics also built their own research plans as a way of expanding the consultation dimension of this project inside Syria, engaged in survey and interview protocol planning and discussed ways to access needed documentation which could be drawn upon to enrich the project. The Syrian coresearchers interviewed remotely HE staff and students who had remained in, or recently left, Syria; the key criterion for group or participant selection was that they had recent and relevant experience of Syrian HE. The second workshop focused on data analysis and writing up. There was also wide consultation with participants inside and outside Syria. As part of the research, the Cambridge team conducted open-ended interviews with 19 Syrian academics and students living in exile in Turkey. This involved interviewing Syrian scholars about their experiences of HE, policy changes over time and their experiences of displacement. The researchers developed this protocol prior to the capacity-building workshops based on previous research experience on academic and student displacement, alongside extensive preparation on the conditions of Syrian HE, conflict and displacement. In addition to interviewing, a pivotal element of methodological rigour was that the authors sought to member check what participants were learning through mapping and timeline exercises and extensive note-taking throughout both workshops. The major issues that the authors confronted were ethical concerns around confidentiality, the need to ensure rigourously the protection of all participants’ anonymity and to be extremely mindful of the political sensitivity of issues when interviewing participants who may not feel able to fully trust “outsider” researchers. Issues of social trust have been reported in the literature as one of the most significant drawbacks in conducting research in “conflict environments” (see Cohen and Arieli, 2011) where academics and students have been working and/or studying in autocratic regimes or were operating within political contexts where being open or critical of any form of institutional life such as university work or the nation could cost them their jobs or their lives. Findings – The accounts of Syrian academics and students emerging from this work point to some of the state-building expressions of HE manifested in the shaping of professional and personal experiences, the condition and status of HE, its spatial arrangements and their associated power formations, and resulting infeelings of intense personal and professional insecurity among Syrian scholars and students since 2011. While acknowledging that the Syrian situation is deemed one of the worst humanitarian crises in the region in recent decades, these accounts resonate, if in different ways, with other studies of academics and students who have experienced highly centralised and autocratic states and tightly regulated HE governance regimes (Barakat and Milton, 2015; Mazawi, 2011). Originality/value – Currently, there is virtually no research on the status and conditions of higher education in Syria as a consequence of the war, which commenced in 2011. This work presents a first-person perspective from Syrian academics and students on the state of HE since the onset of the conflict. The major contribution of this work is the identification of key factors shaping conflict and division in HE, alongside the political economies of HE destruction which are unique to the Syrian war and longstanding forms of authoritarian state governance
