fetched live from OpenAlex

Recent years have seen an increase in the number of Turkish soap operas broadcast outside of Turkey, particularly in the Arab world. Turkish television stars quickly became pop idols in the Middle East and the Balkans, creating great sympathy for the Turkish identity, culture, and values. Egypt, with its large population and great importance in the region, epitomizes the salient geography of audiences where Turkish soap operas have become a pervasive phenomenon, and is therefore the focus of this study, which explores two sets of questions: (1) How have Turkish soap operas influenced Egyptian people, mainly students, in terms of their understanding of Turkish culture and Turkey's role in the Middle East?

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
