IZNIK TILE MUD EXPERIMENTS WITH ORGANIC MATERIALS

Atilla Cengiz KILIÇ, Şükran DURAN — 2024-08-29

The Iznik tiles have a rightful reputation in the world ceramic literature. This reputation is due to the richness of color and pattern as well as the lack of glaze cracks in the ceramic body, despite the low degree of baking. This property is caused by the adaptation of mud, glaze and paint. Many analyzes have been made to investigate the structure of Iznik tile mud, but no definite result has been achieved. One of the reasons for this is the organic materials placed inside the Iznik tile mud. These organic materials give many properties to the mud such as bonding, plasticity, porosity and durability. It is not always possible to detect these substances that burns away during burning which is also called burning loss. In this study; In the light of historical sources, experiments were carried out to identify and apply these organic substances using the data available. The purpose of this research is to try to solve the ceramic technology of the period and to contribute to the restoration and conservation studies done today.

Pınar URAN, Mehmet SERTCELIK , Aynur SAHIN AKOZEL , Birim Gunay KILIC — 2024-08-29

Objective: We aimed to compare the specific learning disability (SLD) profiles, psychiatric comorbidity and socio demographic structures of children with very superior intelligence (VSI) (I.Q.>130); children with very superior intelligence diagnosed with SLD (G/LD) and children with dull-normal intelligence (DI/LD) (I.Q.: 80-89) diagnosed with SLD. Methods: We conducted a retrospective study on 97 cases in Ankara University School of Medicine Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry between 2013 and 2014. SLD Test Battery and WISC-R were administered to the children. Children who had learning disabilities (problems in reading, writing, math) and who were eligible for the study criteria, were included in the study. Results: Psychiatric comorbidity in DI/LD group (81%) was significantly higher than psychiatric comorbidities in other groups (x2=7.08 p=0.03). Most common psychiatric comorbidity among the groups was attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder. G/ LD group was more successful in Gesell Figures subtest than DI/LD group (z= -5.26, p<0.05). DI/LD group had higher dictation error scores than G/LD group (z= -3.36, p=0,01). Conclusion: Results of our study supports the theory of compensation of SLD-related weaknesses by giftedness-related strengths called as ‘masking’ condition and ‘twice-exceptionality view’ in the literature.

Berna KARAÇALI — 2024-08-29

“Color” emerging at the point, where the relevant domains of physics, chemistry, psychology, physiology, philosophy, sociology meet and intercept, moving and finding meaning at the boundaries of knowledge as well as experience covered by all conceptual disciplines, is a phenomenon stepping forward and becoming prominent in respect of artistic doctrines as well as applicatory dimensions. As one of the supporting elements of meaning in art, “color” is one of the basic and primary instruments of the visual language contrived and formed by art. As an active component of the visual language, the itinerary of color in contemporary art, as well as and including its place in conceptual and productive processes constitutes the subject matter of this study. Within premises and confines of Contemporary Art, the domain of production of avant-garde (pioneering) artists positioning color on the basis of artistic apprehension and indoctrination is located at the fundamental focus of the visual language constructed over color and such perception indicative of the idea defended by this text. In conclusion, observing and beholding contemporary art, “color” in the sense of eternally extending parlance of art, is maintaining its privileged status as a lively and ultimately active phenomenon bearing novel possibilities.

BEYOND A NECESSITY: THE ART

Fırat ÇALKUŞ — 2024-08-29

It will be more correct that explain in order to prove whether art is necessary, i t is necessary to understand how it emerged in the beginning and its role in the social circulation. Primarily art is a religious ritual, followed by a narrative interpretation of the religion, afterwards a form internalized, an image that has been broken from reality afterwards. As well as of human desire to know it is also important where the art is positioned in the production sense.The answer to this question lies in the endless learning desire for the inner dynamics of knowledge and art. The paradox that we find in the perceptual mechanism that the problem is more precious is that we actually increase our thinking about the existence of art, and we can add new proposals to the rich nature of art.The identity of thought is the most important display of the integrity of art. As a result, art which is a vehicle for revealing human existence will continue to breathe for as long as life continues.

ARCHAIC WORDS IN AN INTERPRETATION OF SURAH TEBAREKE BELONGING TO THE PERIOD OF PRINCIPALITIES

Yıldıray ÇAVDAR — 2024-08-29

Turkish has undergone various changes especially in terms of vocabulary in distant geographies throughout its history that have spanned long centuries. In the course of time, many words in Turkish were forgotten and replaced by other words or underwent changes. The only way to determine words that were used in earlier periods of Turkish but have fallen into disuse and been forgotten today is to examine historical texts written in Turkish. The word obsolete in linguistics refers to patterns, units or elements belonging to earlier times which are not used today. This notion is also expressed using the French word archaic. In this article, archaic words were identified of an interpretation of Surah Tebareke (Surah Mülk) in the Burdur copy belonging to the Period of Principalities. The book was translated into Turkish upon request by İshak Bey bin Murâd Arslan, who was the last prince of the Principality of İnançoğulları (who reigned between the years 1362 and 1368 and died after 1391). However, we do not yet known who the author of the work is and when it was written because so far we have failed to obtain a line ascertaining its author. The copy under investigation was copied by Edhem bin Hıfzu’llah Bin Hasan et-Tavîl el Baghdadî in 1422 (Hegira 826).

DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH ACCORDING TO KORAN

Ali SOYLU — 2024-08-29

When we study on the approach of the Holy Quran to the wealth subject, we can leady see that it does not reject the wealth but it approves it and says that it is necessary for surviving According to the Quran, the wealth is not an issue which must be kept away from again according to the Quran, extravagance and making wealth the purpose of the life are the behaviours which must be avoided. The Holy Quran has come as a strong message that removes all of the formations which makes the poor living without being aware of their rights and give up the staff of life however, this is a message which established love and friendship bridges between the poor and rich people but not hostility and grudge bridges. It (The Quran) never certifies that the wealth will circle only between the rich people as an exploitation and dominance tool thus many people will not find anything to spend. The verse which says that “...in order that in may become a fortune used by the rich among you…’’ (59. el-Hashr: 7)certifies this theory. Therefore the Quran has exposed the provisions required for decreasing the inequality between the wealths of the poor and rich to an optimal ratio and making everybody to have the standards for living humanely. It wants the existence of the strong public structure in which the equity is dominant in terms of the socio-economic issue as well as the all other issues and in which the balance is established between the wealths of the people.

Emrullah ÇİÇEK — 2024-08-29

Egypt was governed by a theocratic system. Accepting Pharaohs as Gods, formed a peculiar state. The Dynasty also adopted a management style where Pharaohs, their wives and children ruled the government. For example, when the Pharaoh went on an expedition, he left his wife with a clear mandate. Thus, in different periods of the Egyptian history, we can see Pharaohs women. However, the most important mechanisms of the central authority, was present in the control of Pharaoh. Pharaoh was considered to be the representative of God on earth. This belief has changed over time and when Pharaohs got strong they declared themselves God.

Yıldız ÖZKÖK — 2024-08-29

Federalism, one of the most important government models, was often dealt with in political and administrative dimensions, has recently begun to be examined at the financial level. There are many reasons why financial federalism has been generally acknowledged in the world in recent years. The most important reason of this acceptance is that the local government units better understand the local preferences and needs according to the federal government, and thus this improves the efficiency of the public sector, thereby it contributes the acchieve a higher growth rate and better macroeconomic performance.

WOMEN IN THE IDEAL SOCIETY: UTOPIA AND THE CITY OF THE SUN

Yasemin ŞANAL — 2024-08-29

Thomas More’s famous work, “Utopia”, focuses on the perfect society living on the island called Utopia, which means ‘no-place-land’. Since life in Utopia is based on equality, women have many rights in society such as equal education, equal job opportunities, and equal payment. Another celebrated utopia “The City of the Sun”, written by the Italian philosopher Tommaso Campanella, tells of an ideal social life based on equality, as well. Since there is no private ownership in both states, it means that men do not hold any financial superiority over women. Nonetheless, it seems that in these two 'ideal' societies women are not in fact fully equalized. In Utopia, women are allowed to work, read, write, swim, fight, vote, and even become priests. However, women are still inferior to men. Women are separated from men in almost every area of daily life. For example, men and women sit and eat separately, and they sit separately in the temples during prayers. There is a similar situation in The City of the Sun. For here, women and men sit in separate places even when they eat; it is seen that women are kept separate from men as regards to food and drinks, education facilities and working conditions. In these works which could be considered a reaction against the social order in the Renaissance England and Italy, it is seen that although they are given more power and rights, total equality is not possible for women even in the no-place-land.

Hüseyin USLU — 2024-08-29

In this study, effects of foreign direct investment (FDI) on economic growth in Turkey is investigated by time series analysis with structural break method for 1980-2017 period. Trade openness is used as a control variable and the structural break dates are included in the analyzes with dummy variables. The series were found to move together in the long-run by Johansen cointegration test. In the long-run analysis carried out by VEC method; it is seen that the effect of FDI on GDP is not statistically significant while the effect of foreign trade volume (FTV) on GDP is positive and statistically significant. According to the results; as foreign trade volume of Turkey increases by 1%, GDP increases by an average of 0.813%, in the 1980-2017 period. In short-run analysis; it is significantly determined that FDI affects GDP positively, but the short-run effects of FTV on GDP are found to be statistically insignificant. In the causality test conducted by VECM method; causality relationships between FDI, FTV and GDP are valid in the long-run, whereas this relationship is partially valid in the short-run.

AS AN EXISTENTIAL CRISIS: THE DISCONNECTED

Derya KARAOSMANOĞLU — 2024-08-29

The point that existentialism reached today has a long history. Since Heidegger’s Sein und Zeit was published, avant-garde intelligentsia has started to consider existentialism as the philosophy of our era. Jaspers undertook to transmit the principles of the new philosophy to large mass of educated readers in Germany. During and after the war existentialism movement wend its way to the cultural sphere of the West and achieved great success in France and America with leading German existentialists and Husserl who pioneered them. –This success is not only limited with United States, but also includes Latin American countries.- Are all of these temporary enthusiasm that will fade away in couple of years or a new philosophy which will really break new ground? The answer depends on to what extent the new philosophy –existentialism- reflects the reality and whether it could give enough answers to the crucial questions which was faced by the humankind of that era or not. Atay wrote “The Disconnected” at the climax of his maturity as a writer. With it he created a new type of novel which would produce an effect in the literary progress of the 80’s generation: novel of disappointment. Novel of disappointment describes concepts of people of bourgeois society that was obligatorily formed, concepts that are about life, falling apart against the brutal force of real life. Disappointment have not come to existence first time in Atay (‘s novels) during the progress of modern novel –Turkish novel or Western novel-. First major novel in the world, Don Quixote was also a novel of “lost dreams”. However bourgeois society which was in the process of birth with Cervantes, still destroys feudal dreams that keep agonizing; on the contrary, in Atay(’s novels) concept that carried onto art, society, and human because of the progress of the little bourgeois society or it can be said, top level ideological products of progress of the little bourgeois society turn into an absolute dream when they collide with the terrifying reality of real life. In the Turkish literature, novel of 80’s shattered several dreams. However that shattering effort wend its way to remains of the sensations and thoughts which was still alive. On the other hand, perception or point of view which is extensive, and rich in terms of reality concepts (emerging from the same point of perception in either case) most of the time defeated the dreams that are unfounded, low-quality, and that anchored spoiledly to the soil of reality. However this tragic mocking laugh has tinkled first time –for 80’s generation- for good in the novel of Atay, over the ideological product that pioneered the progress of little bourgeois, inside a clarified unity we see how economy, capitalism force the little bourgeois ideals to a tragic deterioration for the first time in here.

KOTLER ON STRATEGIC MARKETING

Filiz ASLAN ÇETİN — 2024-08-29

Philip Kotler önemli bir fikir lideri olarak pazarlamada oldukça tanınmıştır. Şimdiye dek onun katkılarıyla ilgili fazlasıyla konuşulmuş ve de yazılmıştır. Bundan ötürü, daha önce belirtilen iç görüsüne ve saygınlığına katkıda bulunmak bizim için zor bir görevdir. Yine de onun başarıları nedeniyle kendi takdirlerimizi kayda geçirme fırsatını memnuniyetle karşılıyoruz. Buna ek olarak, bu ciltte yer alan stratejik yönetim konusunu ele alan makalelerin alt kümesine arka plan sağlamak ve ilişkilendirmek amacı taşıdık. Bu nedenle Philip Kotler’in pazarlama düşüncesi ve uygulamasına vermiş olduğu genel katkılarına istinaden bakış açımızı sunmanın öncelikle bir yükümlülük olduğunu hissediyoruz. Onun katkılarını 3 geniş alanda vurguluyoruz; pazarlama yönetiminin rolünü ve görevlerini kavramsallaştırma, pazarlama kavramının genişletilmesi ve nicel pazarlamaya öncülük etme. Açıkçası, Philip Kotler pazarlama teorisi ve uygulama sınırlarını ilerletmede bir “öncü kişi” olmuştur, alanın nasıl ve nerede gelişeceğine, güzelleşeceğine ilişkin sürekli olarak keskin bir duygu sergilemiştir. İlk olarak, Kotler pazarlama yönetim anlayışımızı bilgilendirmek ve zenginleştirmek için farklı disiplin kaynaklarından gelen ifadeleri ve bilgileri uygulama alanına entegre eden sayısız kapsamlı çerçeveler geliştirmiştir. Onun katkıları sadece çok sayıda dergi makalesinde değil, aynı zamanda yaygın olarak kullanılan; “Pazarlama Yönetimi: Analiz, Planlama, Uygulama ve Kontrol” kitabında bulunabilir. Kitap ilk kez 1971’de yayınlandı [bunu Phil ile kontrol edin] ve şimdi 13. baskısında (2009). Bu cildin tanıtılmasından sorumlu bu dörtlünün neredeyse tümü, Kotler’in kitaplarından ya bir öğrenci kadar ya da MBA eğitimi veren bir fakülte kadar pazarlamayı öğrendi. Bu çerçevelere ek olarak ikinci sırada, Phil “pazarlama kavramını genişletme ve daha ileri götürme” hareketinin kuruculuğunu üstlendi. Çok sayıda geniş çaplı atıflı makale ve düzinelerce kitap vasıtasıyla, Kotler ve onun eş yazarları hayal gücüyle pazarlamayı yeni sektörlere, yerlere ve kuruluşlara götürdü. Alanın sınırlarını genişletirken pazarlamanın rolü ve işleviyle birlikte pazarlama stratejileri ve politikalarının şarta bağlı doğasını açıklayarak, özünü ve uygulamasını anlaşılması için derinleştirdi. Son olarak, Kotler nicel pazarlamanın erken bir öncüsü oldu. Pazarlama biliminin oluşum aşamalarını modelleme üzerine bir dizi inceleme makalesi yazdı ve büyük ses getirdi; “Pazarlamada Karar Verme: Model Geliştirme Yaklaşımı”, ilk kez 1971’de yayınlanan bu kitap hem fakülte hem de doktora öğrencileri için vazgeçilmez bir referans kaynağı oldu. Şimdiki versiyonu, Gary Lilien ve Sridhar Moorthy ortak yazarlığındaki “Pazarlama Modelleri (1992)” bu pozisyonu işgal etmeye çalışıyor. Phil’in katkıları ile daha geniş perspektifle seçilmiş altı makaleyi stratejik pazarlama çerçevesinde konumlandırdık ve onlar hakkında detaylı yorumlar yaptık. Bu makaleyi Phil ve onun çalışmalarının, kişisel olarak her birimizi nasıl etkilediğine dair bazı kişisel gözlemlerle kapatıyoruz.
