NOTE333 The aim of this dissertation is to reposition Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar in Turkish literature by showing the narrative techniques that he employs to undermine prominent social codes and discourses, especially morality. Most of the studies have associated the author with the tradition of Ahmet Mithat, and wiewed him as a writer who writes to educate the public through his most striking feature, moralism. This critical attitude turns into an effort to read his texts by adapting them to certain ideologies, and at the points where the text contradicts these ideologies, researchers try to explain this situation with the inadequacy of the author's technique. I will challenge these established judgments in this dissertation. I will primarily focus on his novels Gönül Bir Yeldeğirmenidir Sevda Öğütür (1922), Ben Deli Miyim (1924), Kaderin Cilvesi (1925) and Kokotlar Mektebi (1927) written after World War I. The common feature of these novels is that they have an unreliable first-person narrator. Besides unreliable narrator, the carnivalesque elements formed by the combination of the incongruities causes the ambivalent moral universe to be destroyed while it is being established, and no value left intact in his novels. In addition to successful dialogues, the frequent use of different narrative types such as letters and newspapers creates a polyphonic atmosphere which results in narratives where different ideas chase each other, and their meanings get lost.

| dc.description.abstract | Understanding how tactile sensation is processed in the somatosensory cortex is crucial for the development of neuroprostheses that can provide a realistic sense of touch. Exploring the electrophysiological basis of vibrotactile forward masking of fers valuable insights into how the brain integrates and responds to sequential sensory inputs. This understanding can help drive progress in the development of haptic inter faces and the enhancement of neuroprosthetic technologies designed to improve tactile perception. Epidural field potentials were recorded from the hind paw representation of the rat S1 cortex by using various experimental parameters. The effects of the prior stimulus on the test stimulus window measured as dB difference and latency difference were evaluated. The results indicated that all main factors had a significant impact on the dB difference. An increase in the amplitude of the prior stimulus was found to enhance suppression effects. The suppression decreased as the temporal gap in creased. By demonstrating the impact of the prior stimulus, the study underscores the fundamental influence of preceding sensory inputs in shaping subsequent sensory processing.
