Hacı ÇİÇEK — 2024-03-12

Although the Qur’ân was sent down in Arabic, it is an ageless book that appeals to all people. The revelation of the Qur’ân in Arabic made Arabic, which remained local in the Arabian Peninsula, a global language. The Qur’an address all nations. In this respect, all nations that embraced Islam competed in writing translations and interpretations of the Qur’ân in their own languages. As in the languages of other Muslim nations, many Qur'ânic interpretations and commentaries were written by the Turks. In fact, these works were evaluated as the most auspicious actions. In this context, it is possible to say that Arabic is the luckiest language among the world languages. It is natural that there are different perspectives and nuances in the cultural context where the mind is located. It has been observed that more than one meaning is given to the same word by different authors in Turkish translations. It has even been observed that changes have been made in the words and concepts even in the translation copies of the same translation author(s) published on different dates. It can be said that the use of words and concepts in the language in different forms plays a role in this. Because, as in every text, the most important point, especially in sacred text translations, is references to understand and assimilate the given meaning. In this study, some evaluations and analyze were made about the translations of the word "îlâf" in the meanings of the Quraysh sura.

Şeyda Nimet AKGÜN — 2024-03-12

Mental retardation is a neurodevelopmental condition that starts during the developmental stages and causes inability to maintain independent life and adaptation problems in daily life due to cognitive retardation. In this study, the effects of visual perception and motor planning skills on the daily life of preschool children aged 5-7 years were investigated. A total of 60 individuals diagnosed with mental retardation, 30 with mild mental retardation and 30 with moderate mental retardation were included in the study. Frostig Developmental Visual Perception Test was used to measure visual perception skills; Posture Imitation Test, Verbal Command Praxis, Bilateral Motor Coordination Test, Balance Test during Standing and Walking Test were used to check motor planning skills; and Functionality Measurement for Children (WEEFIM) was used to evaluate as an occupational therapist. When the statistical results were analyzed, children with moderate mental retardation had lower results in all scores than children with mild mental retardation. Functioning measures in all children with MR were highly correlated with both visual perception and motor skills (p<0.01). In the regression model in which visual perception and motor skills are based on functionality, these skills explain 90.1% of the change in WEEFIM. In children with Mental Retardation, visual perception skills and motor planning skills can positively affect the child's functionality in daily life.

In this respect, there are various cultural differences even between districts in some of our neighboring provinces. City identity reaches a certain maturity over a long period of time. The expectations of residents and future guests should be met by developing appropriate communication strategies. Branding the city in a certain area or product is extremely important in terms of increasing the value, importance and attractiveness of that place. Branding is important for Rize to become a center of attraction by highlighting its unique values. Rize province has been known and known for its tea for years. In the studies conducted by researchers on Rize, the first thing that came to mind was tea. Rize has various different features other than tea.

As a result, brand cities and their activities in our country were examined and how Rize could become a brand city with tea was investigated. It has been revealed that the city's potential for change and development can be highlighted with tea. In addition, it has been seen that natural and geographical beauties will contribute to the promotion of the city, but tea is the main element.

All Aspects Of Adolescent Suicides

Oğuz POLAT — 2024-03-12

Death is a difficult reality to grasp for adults, and even more so for children. It is generally thought that children cannot comprehend death until a certain age. Suicide attempts in children and adolescents show a sad increase in transition from childhood to adolescence. Suicides occur through various factors, primarily psychological, sociological, and biological factors. It is observed that suicides often rank 2nd or 3rd among the top 10 causes of death in children and adolescents worldwide. In a world that readily praises the potential of youth, the disquieting reality of adolescent suicide persists as a silent crisis. This article seeks to expose this silent struggle, delve into its multifaceted causes encompassing psychological factors and forensic sciences, and address the urgent need for collective action. Despite being overlooked by the public eye, adolescent suicides reveal a crisis in a period expected to be filled with boundless hope and enthusiasm. The statistics surrounding adolescent suicides present a story too alarming to ignore. This complex crisis includes psychological aspects, as the tumultuous journey of adolescence is characterized by emotional turbulence and the formation of identity. When these natural struggles intersect with issues such as depression, anxiety, or untreated mental illnesses, the risk of suicide escalates.

Aysel Özge KOCABAŞ — 2024-03-12

Due to its location and geological characteristics, our country has been exposed to many natural disasters, especially earthquakes, in the past and today. These disasters have caused economic and environmental losses as well as damage to many historical and cultural heritage. Especially earthquakes pose a great threat to the transfer of historical buildings to future generations due to their great destructive effects. As a result of the recent earthquake in our country, dated 6 February 2023 and centred in Kahramanmaraş, the historical environment and buildings in Antakya, where the damage of the earthquake was felt most severely, were severely damaged and deteriorated. Within the scope of this study, the post-earthquake condition of the Habibi Neccar Mosque in the historical city centre of Antakya, which was largely destroyed by the earthquake, was determined. What kind of interventions can be made in order to preserve the unique identity and historical context of cultural heritage and to transfer it to future generations has been investigated.

Rock Tombs Located In Koramşalı District Of Erdemli District Of Mersin Province

Harun KURT — 2024-03-12

Türkiye's geography has hosted many archaeological civilizations. Many architectural works have survived from past civilizations. Grave structures have a special place among these works. Past human communities sent their dead off to their last journeys according to their beliefs. Of course, rock tombs also have an important place among different grave structures. Koramşalı neighborhood, located in the Erdemli district of Mersin province, within the Cilicia Pedias, hosts such structures. Even though today they are quite worn out due to both human influence and the long passage of time, they continue to defy people and time where they are. No archaeological site scanning or excavation work has been carried out in the region. Of course, it would be better if they were evaluated together with other works found in this region. However, the most intact structures in the region that have survived to the present day are the rock tombs that will be discussed here. The rock tombs, which can be easily seen and attract attention even from far away, are no longer the target of illegal excavators. Some rock tombs that survived until recently were completely destroyed by the smugglers. It should be everyone's duty to put a stop to this destruction, to introduce these graves to the authorities and the scientific community, to attract attention and to ensure that what remains is passed on to future generations.

The EU-Türkiye Deal and the Eastern Mediterranean Route: A Succes or A Failure

Ayşem Biriz KARAÇAY — 2024-03-12

The Mediterranean region saw an unprecedented surge in mixed migration flows and the provision of migrant smuggling services in 2015. Over a million migrants and asylum seekers arrived in Europe that year, with more than 80 percent of them crossing the Aegean Sea from Türkiye to Greek islands. In Europe, the influx of unwanted “others” through mass migration has instilled fears at both societal and political levels. Despite the persistent migratory pressure, the European Union (EU) has struggled to devise adequate solutions to regulate the large numbers of refugees, particularly by curtailing irregular migration, human smuggling, and trafficking. In an attempt to deal with irregular migratory flows, the externalization of borders introduces new spatial dimensions for the EU's immediate neighbours, such as Türkiye. The key policy instruments for Türkiye facilitating this externalization process include the 2013 Readmission Agreement, the 2015 Joint Action Plan, and the EU-Türkiye Deal of 18 March 2016. At this background, the aim of this article is to understand the effectiveness of the EU-Türkiye Deal in mitigating irregular border crossings along the Eastern Mediterranean Route. The paper concludes that migration governance strategies implemented in response to the Syrian crisis have introduced new challenges for both Türkiye and the EU.

The Role of Women in Teaching Turkish Culture to Young People

Melek ALPAR — 2024-03-12

It is estimated that the number of Turks living in the world is around 350 million. So much so that there is no continent in the world where Turks do not live. On the other hand, it is possible to talk about a common culture that includes all Turks. Although these traditions undergo some changes as they move away from the central region or encounter cultures in other regions, they essentially contain fundamental similarities. For example, red ribbons tied to rings at engagements and to wedding dresses at weddings always represent good luck and fortune. The horse is a must for all Turks. Respecting elders is essential. Women have had a respected place in Turks since the beginning. These traditions have been passed down from generation to generation and have survived to the present day. When evaluated in general, it can be seen that the main factor in this cultural transfer is women. Because women are prominent and important in the transmission of culture due to their role in the family and their influence on children. This situation has not changed today. Women have an important role in building society on solid foundations and maintaining the family structure in a healthy way. In this study, cultural similarities in the Turkish World will be revealed and the role of women in transferring this culture to future generations will be emphasized. In the study, in addition to the previous theoretical studies on the subject, the results of field research were presented with a cultural anthropological perspective and research method, and the universe of the study was limited to the Turkish World.

Fear Marketing In Disinfectant Advertisements During The Pandemic: The Example Of Lysol And Purell

Canan YAŞAR — 2024-03-12

Fear marketing, which is defined as taking advantage of the power of fear for marketing purposes, is used in many areas from health services to marketing of cleaning products. Fear is one of the forces that push people to buy. For this reason, fear can be a reason to buy in existing markets, but it can also lead to the formation of new markets. With the emergence of swine flu, antibacterial gels, and the emergence of the Covid-19 epidemic, products such as masks, disinfectants and visors have been in high demand in the consumer market. The aim of this study is to reveal whether the messages in the advertisements of Lysol brand''Rest Easy No Matter Where They Rest'' and Purell's ''Peace Of Mind'' advertisements published in 2020, which give a fear message in disinfectant advertisements, are perceived and interpreted correctly by consumers. In the research, advertisements were analyzed using Semiotic Analysis Method.

Atıf Yılmaz Movies From The Perspective Of Feminist Theory In Cinema

Ufuk UĞUR — 2024-03-20

Turkish cinema has produced films with the Yeşilçam style of production for many years. These types of films are primarily commercial films that aim to achieve success at the box office. With the start of television broadcasts in our country and the development of the video industry, there was a greater need for cinema. Despite the Turkish audience's desire to leave movie theaters and watch movies at home for a while, the interest in movies has not decreased in our country. It can be seen that the films shown in movie theaters, especially in the last twenty years, are mostly commercial films produced according to the wishes of the public. However, before this period, it is seen that directors in the field of cinema turned to different themes and made productions that said something other than commercial films, highlighted women's issues or told women's stories. Again, evaluating this period for Turkish cinema through Atıf Yılmaz's films and addressing it from the perspective of the director's work, which paved the way for films dealing with women's themes, will be important in terms of how women's issues are represented in Turkish cinema. It is possible to say that Atıf Yılmaz, who featured female characters in most of his films or tried to deal with women's issues, had a positive impact on the generation of directors who came after him in this sense.

Effects Of Media On Consumption Habits

Ufuk UĞUR — 2024-03-20

In today's world, media is seen as the most effective tool in determining people's consumption habits. Media provides advertisements of products and services to consumers and is effective. Various products and brands are constantly promoted through television, the internet, magazines and other media platforms. These advertisements encourage consumers to choose certain products and brands and shape their consumption habits. Consumers' attention is attracted by highlighting brands through various methods in almost all types of media. In addition, companies promote their products through social media. At the same time, it is observed that consumers are guided by product placement in television media, news or TV series platforms. In this respect, it is possible to say that the media affects the consumption culture. Nowadays, brands or products gain popularity and are associated with a certain lifestyle through the media. In this context, media has a significant impact on shaping consumption habits. Consumers unconsciously choose certain products under the influence of the media. In this respect, it is important to critically evaluate media content and develop conscious consumption habits.
