CHILDREN’S LITERATURE THROUGH TRANSLATORS’ LENSES: A SHORT DISCUSSION OF TOPICS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE TRAINING OF TRANSLATOR’S OF CHILDRENS LITERATURE IN THE TRANSLATION & INTERPRETATION CLASSROOM

Mümtaz KAYA, A. Şirin OKYAYUZ — 2026-07-16

Translators of children’s books initially need to know children’s literature and analyze many examples. It is not possible for them to be able to recreate these works in translation without knowing the genres and the examples of good practice, along with the translation habitus of previous translators. Even though they are not deemed to be child development experts, they need to be aware of the child readers’ needs and the ways in which the literature for that specific reader is formulated. The aim of the paper presented below is to outline and provide the headings for a preliminary literary translation course module focusing especially on training young translators in translating children’s literature. The corpus entails subjects that are crucial for translators to know during the translation of children’s literature. In line with this idea, the first section of the study encompasses the profiles of ‘probable readers’ and the marketing of children’s books. A short of history of the evolution of the field and the current day situation is presented in a second section. The fourth section contains a summary of the cognitive and other developmental stages of the child reader. This is followed by a substantial section on the different types of literature present for child reader, the specific attributes of the genres. In conclusion, the benefits of including this type of a module in the training of translators of children’s literature is underlined and explained.

EARLY BRONZE AND IRON AGE SETTLEMENTS IN BAYBURT AND ENVIRONMENT

Veli ÜNSAL — 2026-07-16

The fact that Bayburt, located in the Upper Çoruh Basin, is on fertile lands and is close to water resources, has caused the region to be a place for settlement since the prehistoric ages. The settlement activities that began in the region at the prehistoric ages have continued uninterruptedly until today. The contribution of the mounds in Bayburt and its surroundings to Bayburt's history cannot be denied. These mounds are important settlements also because they reveal out the settlement characteristics of the region at the Early Bronze Age and the Iron Age. There is also a very important culture in the region, which was influential throughout the Early Bronze Age. This culture, called as Karaz culture, has shown a progress that is completely different from other regions of Anatolia and has spread from the Trans-Caucasus in the east to the Urmiye Lake, from Divriği-Kangal area in the west to Malatya-Elazığ region, from Kahramanmaraş and Amik Plain in the south to Palestine and to the Black Sea Mountains in the north. Bayburt and its surroundings are located in the core lands of this culture, which is called by different names in the areas it is observed. This study will give answers to the questions about where the settlements in Bayburt and its surrounding were intensified and how they developed during the Early Bronze Age and the Iron Age, and will refer to the relations between the settlement activities and the surrounding cultures of the above-stated periods.

THE CYPRUS ISSUE BETWEEN THE PERIOD OF DECLARATION OF THE TURKISH FEDERATED STATE OF CYPRUS (TFSC) AND THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE TURKISH REPUBLIC OF NORTHERN CYPRUS (TRNC) (1975-1983)

Yasin COŞKUN — 2026-07-16

TFSC, announced in February 1975 in the northern part of the island following the Cyprus Peace Operation in 1974, was an important decision taken by the Turkish Cypriot Administration. In addition to the Greeks, the United States and Britain also criticized this decision. In his statements, Denktaş tried to reduce the reactions to the Turkish Cypriot’s decision by saying that this step did not intend to establish an independent state. Later, in order to find a solution to the Cyprus problem, the peace negotiations between communities in Vienna began with the UN initiative, but no results were obtained. Another important development aiming to find a working solution on the island was the Denktaş-Makarios summit in 1977. The two leaders agreed on Four Guidelines which showed that both sides accepted a federative management model in Cyprus. Inter-communal talks, which resumed after this meeting, were interrupted by the death of Makarios in August 1977. In May 1979 the Denktaş-Kyprianou summit was held with the initiatives of the UN and the 10-point agreement was reached at this meeting. Following this agreement, the peace negotiations resumed. However, after the failure of inter-communal negotiations in bringing a solution to the problem, the TFSC declared the establishment of the TRNC on 15 November 1983.

SOME FINDINGS ON THE TARIQAS EDUCATION AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES

Hüseyin DEMİR, Tunay KARAKÖK — 2026-07-16

Tariqas taking a part in societies as the instutionalized form of the sufistic belief as of Hijri V. Century undertook religious disclosure and guidance mission and through the history they showed up in various Muslim societies in different ways. At this point, the word Sect meaning “way” can be understood as the way of pleasure, joy, knowledge, love and attraction that leads subjects to the God. In general, the word “way” in Arabic language means the way that must be followed to reach the God. From another point of view, sufism schools which were built to reach God in sufistic ways also bring to the mind the word Sect. As the instutionalized and organised form of sufistic beliefs and views around a Sheikh, the sect represents an organisation established to spread these beliefs and views and to educate students in these respects. In this study, we mention the common features of sects showing up in a systematic way in Islamic history of thought for the first time as of Hijri II. Century and being popular after the systematization of Sufism. Besides, we aim to spread these views of Sects defended by a Sheikh and his followers among the society and in this process we mention our detections about the content and quality of the related education and training activities, the adopted rules, the way of their applications, the finance of these organizations and the related resources from the literature review that we carried out for the study.

2006-20012 YILLARI ARASINDA BELÇİKA’ DA ORTAYA ÇIKAN POLİTİK İSTIKRARSIZLIĞIN MALİ PİYASALARI ÜZERINE ETKISI

İbrahim Emre GÖKTÜRK, H. Serdar YALÇINKAYA — 2026-07-16

As one of the six founder states of European Union, Belgium is one of the locomotive states which economically proved itself with its developed financial markets, as well as playing a remarkable role in the political arena. However,” Valon-Flaman” debate related to its historical roots seems an important obstacle that interrupts the political and economic life of Belgium in certain periods. The political instability starting from 2006 to 2012 can be cited for these periods. The aim of this article is to examine the effect of political instabilities of Belgium between 2006-2012 on its financial markets. In this period which the political stability could not be established the relationship of financial markets of Belgium with political instability has been researched by using Johansen Cointegration Analysis, and a cointegration in long term between the data has been identified. Besides, it is also identified that the objective function has been fallen into a structural crash between 2005-2011. While researching the relationship of political instability with unemployment and inflation, the same methods have been used, the cointegration in the long-term between data has been identified, but a structural crash in objective function could not be found. In accordance with these identified findings, it has been identified that the political instability on Belgium scale has affected the financial markets in a negative way, but its effect on the macroeconomic structure remained limited.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOURISM AND CULTURAL OBJECT DESIGN

Atilla Cengiz KILIÇ — 2026-07-16

Today there is an almost negative perceptual size of objects considered as souvenirs in society culture. However, these objects are quite important in terms of a country's presentation ( reputation ) and economic benefit ( income ). It is necessary to fix this negatice perception again by means of another point of view and to convey it into a new comprehension. The most important part of a country's tourism income is obtained from touristic objects known as souvenirs, in other words from handcrafts. These objects play an effective role in a country's presentation, but because of not taking enough care, presentation causes insufficient and wrong information. Especially in the situations where the economic income of local products is well enough, the products lose their value because other areas interfere with them. For example, the touristic objects produced as windmills have been made to refer to the windmills in Bodrum, but today they are being sold in almost every part of Turkey and seem as if they belonged to those regions. In this way, the perception is being corrupted and the local culture is being damaged by the product's degeneration. Because the degenerate souvenirs in touristic products have been produced by using daily themes unconsciously without education, we often meet such situations. To prevent this, we should not leave especially our handcrafts into the hands of people producing them unconsciously just for financial benefits and into the local culture, lack of supervision. It is necessary for us to do more scientific study related to the subject, and for this, universities should do elaborate academical research and study. Particularly the Fine arts students should be taught to interpret the culture they have gained in their society, to have a producer identity as well as being an artist, and to gain the interpretation ability for the culture as an object.

THE EFFECTS OF TAX AMNESTIES ON TAX REVENUES IN TUR-KEY: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS

Zuhal AKBELEN, Zehra Berna AYDIN , Orhan POLAT — 2026-07-16

This study aims to put forward the effects of tax amnesties over the tax revenues during the period between 1994 and 2016 in Turkey with analysis of regression. Also the effects of tax amnesties over tax revenues are supported with the help of nom-parametric tests. It has been done two different modelines. İn the first modelling; tax amnesties inflation and (GDP) Gross Domestic Product are handled as three variables to explain tax revenues. İn the second modelling; the variation of tax revenues is tried to explain with the help of the changes in tax, tax amnesties, GDP and inflation rates. İt has been attained the first modelling in this study that tax amnesties aren’t efficient in tax revenues but variations of GDP and inflation rates are considerably efficient in tax revenues. Also it has been concluded in the second modelling that only GDP changes is efficient in the changes of tax revenues not the changes of tax amnesties and inflation rates.

RESEARCH ON THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OF STUDENTS REGARDING THE SECTIONS OF THE FLOWER: 6TH GRADE CASE STUDY

Nedim DİKMEN, Mehmet Akif HAŞILOĞLU , Alper KAYABAŞI — 2026-07-16

This study aims to exhibit the level of knowledge of a group of students - chosen by sampling method - via the drawing method, regarding the sections of the flower. The comprehension of the sections of the flower, which holds an importance place in science, plays a significant role in the understanding of some other related topics. In the study, 25 6th grade students were chosen as the main body. The students were asked to express the flower sections by drawing. In order to enable the free expression of students’ knowledge in this issue, no template was asserted and an environment was provided where every type of drawing could be performed freely. 30 minutes were given to the students for this application. The students’ lack of perception and error in basic concepts, create some negativity regarding the acquisition of basic behaviours needed for the obtaining and transfer of knowledge. In this study, perception and level of knowledge regarding the flower sections were assessed by the drawing method. Consequently, it was seen that the majority of students are considerably insufficient and have conceptual errors.

AN EVALUATION ON THE GENERAL SELJUK HISTORY

Yaşar BEDİRHAN — 2026-07-16

As the events that happened in the past have been said to be history, the history of science that deals with these phenomena is called history. Seljuk period is accepted as the summit of history in the Islamic world. Until the Seljuks, the Turks never founded a state with the name of a family member. For this reason, unlike the views of European and Soviet historians, the Turkish society does not offer a class structure. The Seljuk devolved Turkish society and state structure had an organization, social and social structure, which had its own special characteristics and felt like this self-denial. Unfortunately, only a small part of the works written by the Seljuks about themselves came up to us. These belong to the next period from the Great Seljuk state. Most of these sources have disappeared from the turn of the Oghuz rebellion and the Mongol invasion, especially after the burning of the libraries of Samarkand, Buhara, Ürgenç, Merv, Gazne and Baghdad. Our goal here is to draw attention to the breadth and richness of Seljuk devolution history as language, style, method and subject. In addition, today, most of these resources are offered to the service of the scientific community. Nevertheless, many manuscript researchers of this period in the libraries of Egypt, Iran, Turkey, Russia, France and England await.

Fatma KÖYBAŞI, Celal Teyyar UĞURLU , Eyüp Can YAZICI , Gökhan İBİCEK — 2026-07-16

The purpose of this study is to examine the views of the students of the education faculty and graduated of the faculty of education faculties on the interview application to teacher appointments. The research is qualitative study and its model is case study. The study group is composed of five students from the Faculty of Education who are student at the last grade 2016-2017 academic year at Cumhuriyet University and five teachers who have graduated in 2016 from the Cumhuriyet University Faculty of Education but have not been assigned. The data collection tool is a semi-structured interview form. In this case study, the study was analyzed with descriptive analysis. Interviewing teacher candidates negatively affects their psychological, sociological, self-esteem and professional expectations. While prospective teachers who are graduated are adversely affected in term of economics, senior students are not exposed to such an effect. The interview application reflected all of dimensions.

ACTIVITIES OF USA IN THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE

Ömer Lütfi TAŞCIOĞLU — 2026-07-16

In this article, activities and policies of USA towards Armenians in the Ottoman Empire were examined in detail. Due to the relation to this subject, US policy regarding the Treaty of Lausanne is also examined. The states which aimed to partition the Ottoman Empire that started to collapse in the 1820s, exploited Greeks, Serbs, Bulgarians and Montenegrins in the Balkans and Armenians in Anatolia. The countries which played a dominant role in provoking Armenians against the Ottoman Empire were Russia, Britain, France and the USA. US missionaries and embassy officials played a most important role as regards the Armenians. They took some selected Ottoman Armenians to the USA and brought them back to the Ottoman Empire after training. These Armenians served as leaders of the rebellion against the Ottoman Empire.

SHORT OUTLINE OF TURKISH GRAMMAR UNDER TYPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Nihal DURMUŞ — 2026-07-16

The present study includes a short outline of Turkish grammar. The topics of phonology, morphology and syntax are generally presented with a view on language typological features. In the first section a typological classification of the Turkish language is given which is followed by a description of its general characteristics. Phonology and suprasegmental features (accent, intonation) are described in the following part. The next two sections are devoted to the morphology and syntax of the Turkish language. Since the considerations of these study do not extend beyond the semantics of NPs, the section on the syntax of the Turkish language is kept accordingly brief. In the outlook of the study, a special phenomenon in Turkish is highlighted, which is reflected in the different ways in which plural forms are used in morphosyntactic respects. This particularity of the Turkish language is attributed to the linguistic phenomenon "transnumerality". Subject-related research on the treatment of bare NPs and kind reference is also referred to in the outlook.

THE ACTİVİTİES OF REFİK KORALTAN İN THE FİELD OF AGRİCULTURE AS THE BURSA MAYOR (1939-1942)

Özlem YILDIRIM KIRIŞ — 2026-07-16

Refik Koraltan was born in the late Ottoman Empire and witnessed the most important periods of Turkish political life. As a politician, lawyer and administrator, he took important duties. In the occupation process which started with the end of the First World War and the heavy treaties signed at the end of the war, he provided support and contributed to the national struggle in his mission. He was elected as the first deputy from Konya and continued this duty until 1935.Between 1935 and 1942, Refik Koraltan, who took a break as an administrator in his political life, was in the position of Artvin, Trabzon and Bursa governor. In this study, it was tried to evaluate the works carried out in the field of agriculture in the region while Refik Koraltan was in charge of Bursa governorship. Refik Bey contributed to the development of the region by working on policies to follow in the field of agriculture according to climate and geography of the region. As he did as a governor in Artvin and Trabzon, he recommended the manufacturer the production of products suitable for the climate and natural conditions of the region in the province of Bursa. He worked in this direction. Refik Koraltan worked on the development of the region by encouraging the producers in areas such as cosmetology, fruit, silk pest, viniculture, beekeeping, tobacco production, animal breeding and olive production. The years Refik Bey served as Governor of Bursa (1939-1942) both affected Turkey and the whole world. It was the years of World War II. During this period when İsmet İnönü was the President, Turkey made a great effort not to enter a possible war.The administrative task of Refik Koraltan, who was elected as Icel deputy in 1942, ended. He again participated in the Turkish Grand National Assembly. From this date, he continued active politics until the military coup of May 27th. The death sentence about Yassıada's trials resulted in life imprisonment. Refik Bey, who was released with a special political amnesty in 1964, lost his life in 1974 as a result of his discomfort.

A CRITICAL OVERVIEW OF MICHEL FOUCAULT’S SEARCH FOR METHOD

Gürhan ÖZPOLAT, Güney ÇEĞİN — 2026-07-16

It can be stated that it is quite common to classify and evaluate Michel Foucault’s later works methodologically under the titles of archaeology and genealogy in academic literature and this distinction is maintained by Foucault’s commentators in two different ways. The commentators in the first group who argue for a methodological break thesis indicate a visible methodological difference between his earlier and later works although they observe a thematic continuity between archaeological and genealogical methods. On the other hand, the second group of commentators speak of a completed project instead of a methodological rupture/break while keeping the aforementioned distinction and in this manner, they describe archaeology and genealogy as the two interwoven phases of this completed project. In this paper, we adopt a position closer to the second approach in this line of interpretation but we also support some of the findings of the first position. And rather than the general tendency that the both line of interpretation often follow, we offer a comparative reading starting from the similarities instead of the differences between archaeology and genealogy.

THE BUGYETÜ’L-MERÂM GÂYETÜ’L-GARÂM INTERPRETATION OF MAHMUD B. MUHAMMED B. EL-HASAN EL-EZHERÎ ES-SARAYÎ ED-DERBENDÎ: KAVS-NÂME

Necip Fazıl ŞENARSLAN — 2026-07-16

When investigating the kavsnames (historical archery documents), it is see that the history of archery was started with prophet Adam. For this reason, archery has begun with the life of mankind and has revealed itself throughout history through almost everywhere that mankind has existed. Especially as a warfare, it conduced toward gaining superiority of the past states in wars. It is undoubtedly inevitable that such an important instrument has created a unique knowledge throughout history. It is seen that the archery books written especially in the Ottoman period are called Kavsnâme. Generally, the contents of these books are similar to each other. The work we investigate named as “Kavsname” is the translation and the commantary of Mahmud b. Muhammed b. El-Hasan from the book, “Bugyetü’l-Merâm Gâyetü’l-Garâm”, which was originally written in Arabic by Tayboga el-Eşrefî, famous Mamluk musketeer. It is distinguished from other kavsnames in terms of detailed description of the performances in festivals, archery, and martial arts. The aforesaid work having a single scribal copy in the Topkapı Palace is of great importance in terms of archery history.

AN EVALUATION OF NOWADAYS SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND OLD SOCIAL MOVEMENTS

Murat SARI — 2026-07-16

We can say that the social movements, which have become an important topic all over the world today, are revealed by the beginning of the history of mankind and continue to be influenced by the conditions of the period they are in. Social movements have become an integral part of human history. Societies formed by the beginning of the history of mankind create social movements of small or large-scale actions or struggles, carried out by people who have gathered together common desires for the elimination of common troubles with the functioning of the existing system or for its improvement. There are many different factors that cause social movements to occur. These factors ensure that people come together and initiate social movements and social movements. In this study, social movements are influenced more by the conditions that people are in the cause of them and they are in a state of power or announcing their requests to others. Social movements are

THE NOTION OF SELF IN HEIDEGGER AND FOUCAULT

Abdurrahman DENKTAŞ — 2026-07-16

Throughout the history of philosophy, the concept of self, which is sometimes regarded as a substantial unity and sometimes conceived as a subject oriented to knowledge through knowing himself at a certain level, is dealt with by Heidegger and Foucault by reaching similar points with different perspectives. In Heidegger, the notion of self -, is based on the axis of the question of being through the criticism of traditional metaphysics and the criticism of enlightenment metaphysics- which is supposed to have a fundamental relation with traditional metaphysics. Foucault, in his post-1980 studies, is seeking a subject aware of his own possibilities to oust the subject criticized in his pre-1980 studies on a social-political level. In both philosophers, the notion of self has no longer a strict, static and precise conceptual content. Being away from a strict and static sense of self, both philosophers provide a similar perspective on how human beings should be oriented to being and truth.

COMPARISON OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN BOBI FRS AND TAS/TFRS USING TABLES

Ahmet ALATAŞ, İsa KILIÇ — 2026-07-16

The aim of this study is to determine the differences between the Financial Reporting Standards for large and medium enterprises(BOBI FRS) published byPublic oversight which is to be applied/implemented after january 1st,2018 and the Financial Reporting Standards(TAS/TFRS).For this, based on BOBI FRS sections, the points that differ completely or partly from TAS/TFRS are presented in comparison with summary tables. For a better comprehenion sake, the similar features of the two standards were studied. The sections of BOBI FRS that are in complete accordance with TAS/TFRS are ignored, as they are outside the scope af our study. In general it can be said on these two standards that BOBI FRS is more comprehensible than TAS/TFRS due to its clear and simple language.As difference of BOBİ FRS from TAS/TFRS, prudence concept is evaluated specifically. Giving a special importance a different special section for footnotes has taken place in BOBI FRS. The maturity differences of stocks,revenues, tangible and intangible asset groups for one year or lesss durations are not seggregated in BOBI FRS while the TFRS seggregates all maturity differences.In TFRS goodwill is subjected to impairment test while it is not amortized. In BOBI FRS goodwill is amortized but not subjected to impairment test.BOBI FRS measures the financial tables based on the costs while TAS/TFRS measures the financial tables based on the true values.

Elif Merve ALPAK, Tuğba DÜZENLİ , Emine TARAKCI EREN — 2026-07-16

It is the natural beauties, historical heritage and social-cultural life that distinguish cities from each other and make them unique. These features give cities a rich identity and a strong urban image. But our world changes from past to present depending on various reasons (technological developments, rapid population growth, etc.). This leads to the disappearance of these features which make the cities different from each other and the creation of similar cities. These negativities cause cities to lose the identity of the city, the image of people leaving their mind, and the alienation of people from their surroundings, neighborhoods and cities. Urban identity is changing in the negative (changes in appearance, changes in activities) in cities, people are weak in relation to the environment, which reduces the sense of ownership and loyalty of people's cities.

Nuh Mehmet BÜYÜKSİVASLIOĞLU, Doğan DOĞAN , Vlada PISHCHIK — 2026-07-16

It has been a topic that I have wondered at which level the job stress relationship between age and gender is, considering that job stress is an important factor affecting athletic efficiency positively according to coaches' gender and work experiences, and also the effect of their educational status and work and occupational experiences on coping with perceived stress. Sub Problems: 1. Do coaches' job stress levels differ according to gender? 2. Do coaches' job stress levels differ according to work experience? Coaches/trainer of The Ministry of National Education in Kayseri province form the sample of the research. This research aims to reveal stress levels of different genders who work for The Ministry of National Education and have coaching certificate. 122 coaches out of 311 were reached by simple random sampling. The research was conducted face to face. Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) was used to measure coaches' stresses. The scale was developed by Cohen, Kamarck and Mermelste in 1983 and its Cronbach's Alpha was found as 0.86 in reliability studies. In this research, the scale that was translated into Turkish by Bilge, Öğce, Genç and Oran (2007) was used and its Cronbach's Alpha was found as 0.81 in reliability studies. A high total number means high levels of perceived stress. High scores from subscales, though, is a negative condition. It is determined that, in the analyses done for sub problems, statistical significance in coping with stress according to gender is 0.023 and it is 0.004 in perceived stress, which is a subscale of stress, whereas there is statistical significance between it and the subscale coping with stress at 0.002 level and 0.001 between it and stress.

Muslim Arts were influenced by the other nations' arts, especially those newly converted to the new faith of Islam. Muslims quoted new and useful trends that enhanced the Islamic features of their cultural identity along with their traditions. Therefore, the formation of new architectural elements, and the invention of new technical vocabulary are significant in the art of the Islamic cities.
