GLOBAL TERRORISM AND ISLAM IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER: THE CONSTRUCTION OF ISLAMIC TERROR PERCEPTION THROUGH ISIS IN THE WESTERN WORLD

Mehmet Zeki DUMAN — 2026-07-16

In this paper I focus on roots of international scale terrorist attacks occurred in particularly the Middle East countries and from time to time in Europe and America and the relationship of these acts with political Islam in the last fifty years. Especially after Gulf War, America's colonialist policies that aim to re-establish the hegemonic domination of Western world as it was reinforced with wars in Iraq and Afghanistan under "New World Order" caused strengthening of fundamentalist movements in Muslim communities that is fostered by militant pietism and claiming to fight against forces threatening the sacred values. In these societies where religious traditions dominate, while opposition to west was radicalized on the one hand it caused radical movements to spread on the other hand. However, the basic justification of this paper is the use of ISIS by Western Societies in order to identify Islam with terrorism and to impose this perception all over the world as a result of orientalist perspective against East and particularly against Islam as a historical attitude.

THE WESTERN CLASSICAL CONCERT ETIQUETTE: A STUDY ON CLAPPING ETIQUETTE

Gülay KARŞICI — 2026-07-16

The data gathered through dozens of activity observations focusing on the clapping rule mentioned in the etiquette of Western classical music activities, participatory observation as a chorist member in polyphonic choirs and the data collected through interviews with fifty people about this music have shaped this article. This qualitative study was carried out to understand how the non-compliance with the rule of applause was perceived by the Western classical music scene, the judgments about the audience who did not abide by the rule, the reactions to the untimely applause and the reasons for the applause. Both the field study methods and techniques, as well as the classical concert etiquette collected by literature review, were listed in a certain order. While I think that some of these items should be applied not only in activities but also in social life, I think that the etiquette in some articles such as clapping rule should not be exaggerated.

ARCHAEOLOGICAL TRACES IN CONTEMPORARY TURKISH CERAMIC ART WALL PANELS: MALATYA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE CERAMIC PANEL APPLICATIONS

Halil Fazıl ERCAN — 2026-07-16

The ceramic art gained a new momentum in 17th and 18th centuries with the use of ceramic materials as an expression of art in contemporary art. In Europe, the famous artists of the period such as Picasso, Dan Flavin, Georges Braque and Joan Miro have created contemporary ceramic pieces in this context. Within the framework of this understanding, academies have been established in our country since the 1920s, and ceramic pieces started to be produced by artists of the period who had studied abroad. In contemporary ceramic works produced in our country, it is also seen that the forms belong to archaeological periods are treated as direct or indirect images. In this study, examples in which archaeological images take place are investigated in contemporary ceramic wall panel applications, and archaeological patterns used in the design of these ceramic panels are examined. The design process of the contemporary ceramic panel application of the Malatya Chamber of Commerce, which uses archaeological patterns as images, is evaluated based on the ceramic panel applications made in Modernist style which contains archaeological forms.

THE ROLE OF NEWS EDITORS IN THE MEDIA: WHO HAS THE FINAL WORD?

Cihan OĞUZ — 2026-07-16

It is explicit that the media is the particular architect of the bridge of communication between the rulers and the ruled. In addition to being a reality in nature of work, it is also a attribution that emphasizes the power of the media. The direct relationship between the public opinion (community) and the media considered among the “discourse elite” acquires a quite different dimension when it comes to news case: At this point, it becomes a process that the editors decide for the news to be arranged in terms of content and visuals, shaped, qualified as message and assumed to formal structure. The role of the news editors, who are defined as “gatekeepers” in the media jargon, in this process is not only to open the communication channels and sometimes to focus on the hourly changing agenda, beyond that, also to motive the mental formation of the audience / reader by means of a series of news. However, a certain question in this process has emerged that who has / have the final word. Are gatekeepers also spokespersons of media owners who are qualified as “patronage”. Then how will they make news in behalf of public opinion? Is there this contradiction in nature the media? Here, all these questions are always debated. This is main reason why the editors are resigned that it is originating from administrative conflict and sometimes are encountered in the media or why editors are dismissed on the grounds of “new structuring”: Who should say the final word?

TRANSITION FROM FILM NOIR TO NEO NOIR IN CINEMA: POINT BLANK

Ali ÖZTÜRK — 2026-07-16

Film Noir is the transfer of economic, cultural and political problems and inconsistencies in the social structure, which emerged in the 1940s. The subject is the depiction of a dark world in which the struggle, intrigue and murder become ordinary among some ambiguous forces. In the films of this genre, the intense dialogue flow, visual narrative language dominated by night shots, dark shadows, sharp lighting contrasts, and oblique camera angles are common. In the films, characters depict the types of people who have their own way, live alone, and often establish limited relationships with women who are the source of their misfortune. The transformation from 'Film Noir' to 'Neo Noir' is a phenomenon that develops, matures and emerges over time. What are the social transformations that led to this phenomenon? What are its characteristics? How did these features reflect Neo Noir on both form and content? As an answer to the aforementioned questions, it is seen that the relationship between the USA in the 1960s and 1970s is directly related to each other within the context of cause and effect relations. The moral structure of the society, the assassination of the President of the USA, J. F. Kennedy, the murder of the African-American leader Martin Luther King, the rise of conservatism, student movements, feminism, sexual revolution, anti-militarism and similar social developments were effective in the rise of Neo Noir films. This study discusses the neo noir period after the film noir period and the changes in the narrative structure of the neo noir. To this end, the movie Point Blank has been examined within the context of the transition from the film noir to the neo noir in cinema. The changes in space, character and iconographic elements are examined in the film analysis.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY OF ELDERLY EMPLOYEES: LITERATURE REVIEW

Gamze ÜNVER, Sema ÜSTÜNDAĞ — 2026-07-16

Summary: Introduction: According to OECD definition, all employees who are in the second half of their working life but have not yet reached their retirement age are within the scope of aging labor force. In every country in the industrialization process, the proportion of employees over the age of 50 will increase significantly over the next 25 years. Elderly workers are different from their younger colleagues because of normative changes (physical / biological, psychological / mental and social) that are a natural consequence of aging. Experiences of elderly individuals increase the performance of their work, while their musculoskeletal diseases, vision and hearing loss, cardiac and respiratory diseases, skin, metabolism and immune system problems increase their job performance and their vulnerability to environmental hazards. In addition to the negative health consequences caused by aging after the age of 60, the risk of work-related diseases and accidents is a concern. Policies focus on issues such as encouraging elderly people to stay in the labor market, pension and age, and encouraging self-funded retirement rather than relying on pensions, while inadequate research into the health and safety of seniors is insufficient. Materials and Methods: In the literature review, researches with elderly individuals were examined and compiled. Conclusion: Considering the experiences of elderly people with difficulties in dealing with their health, occupational accidents and risks should be reduced. Occupational health and safety experts have responsibilities in the workplace nurses, workplace physicians and occupational health professionals.

Mustafa ÜNLÜ, Ali Kemal ŞEHİRLİOĞLU , Samim DÜNDAR , Cenk ÖZLER — 2026-07-16

There are a lot of different methods used for obtaining quality-loss and worth functions. In this study, we introduce an approach that is more flexible and have some advantages over classical quadratic quality-loss functions. Pearson Type IX distributions are used for obtaining quality-loss and worth functions. It is possible to have special quality-loss and worth functions for asymmetric nominal the best (NTB), smaller the better (STB) and the larger the better (LTB) type quality characteristics by using suggested approach. Also we calculated expected losses for asymmetrical tolerances and analysed them by using suggested quality-loss and worth functions for different hypothetical process distributions. We introduce a way to determine any Pearson Type I Bell-shaped distributions by using expected value, lower limit, the upper limit and mode values. Besides, we propose a method for determining Type IX J-shaped distributions by using expected value, lower and upper limit informations. After determining the Pearson distributions, we use them to obtain the loss and the corresponding worth function.
