An evaluation of the tombs in Düzce Province within the scope of faith tourism
Get PDFBu çalışmanın amacı, Düzce ili türbelerinin İnanç turizmi kapsamında potansiyelini belirlemek ve bu türbelerin inanç turizmi açısından ilgi çekici hale gelmesi için neler yapılması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktır. Düzce'de bulunan türbelerin bu doğrultuda değerlendirilmesi ve önerilerde bulunulması turizm açısından Düzce iline katkı sağlayacaktır. Düzce'de inanç turizmi başlığı altında birçok tarihi yapı, cami, mezar ve mezar taşı mevcuttur. Bu kapsam da çalışma, Düzce ili ve ilçelerinde bulunan türbeler ile sınırlandırılarak hazırlanmıştır. Çalışma da turizm, inanç ve inanç turizmi üzerine kuramsal çerçeve oluşturulmuş, turizm ile bağlantısı olan kavramların açıklamalarına yer verilmiştir. Ardından çalışmanın bölümlerinden biri Düzce'nin genel özelliklerine ayrılmıştır ve türbeler konumlarına göre sıralanmıştır. Gözlem, görüşme ve doküman analizi teknikleri kullanılmış ve elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz yoluyla değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre türbelerin çoğunun unutulmaya yüz tutmuş şekilde olduğu görülmüştür. Yöre halkının inanç turizmi konusuna olumlu baktıkları ve türbelere değer vermektedirler. Ancak tarihi, şahsi ve manevi yönden çok fazla fikir sahibi olmadıkları, güvenlik tedbirlerinin batıl inançlar sebebiyle artırıldığı, çevre ve yapı düzenlemesi ihtiyacı yanı sıra ulaşım ihtiyacının da giderilmesi gerektiği ve tanıtım açısından büyük eksikliklerin olduğu belirlenmiştir. Tüm bunlar neticesinde çalışmanın son bölümünde Düzce ilindeki türbelerin inanç turizmi kapsamında ilerleme kaydedilmesi için potansiyelin geliştirilmesine yönelik stratejik öneriler sunulmuştur. Düzce'deki turizm veriminin artırılması için nelerin eksik olduğu konusunda öneriler getirilmiştir.The aim of this study is to identify the potential of the tombs in Düzce Province within the scope of faith tourism and to determine what measures need to be taken to make these tombs more attractive for faith-based tourism. Evaluating the tombs located in Düzce in this context and providing recommendations are expected to contribute to the tourism development of the province. Düzce hosts numerous historical structures, mosques, graves, and gravestones under the umbrella of faith tourism. In this regard, the study is limited to the tombs located in the city center and districts of Düzce. In the study, a theoretical framework has been constructed on tourism, faith, and faith tourism, and definitions of related concepts have been included. One section of the study is devoted to the general characteristics of Düzce, and the tombs are listed according to their locations. Observation, interview, and document analysis techniques were employed, and the data obtained were analyzed through descriptive analysis. According to the findings, most of the tombs are on the verge of being forgotten. While the local people have a positive attitude toward faith tourism and place value on the tombs, they lack sufficient knowledge about their historical, personal, and spiritual significance. It was also determined that security measures have been increased due to superstitions, that there is a need for environmental and structural improvements, that transportation issues need to be resolved, and that there are significant deficiencies in promotional efforts. In the final part of the study, strategic suggestions are presented to develop the potential of the tombs in Düzce within the context of faith tourism. Additionally, recommendations are made regarding what is lacking in order to increase tourism efficiency in Düzce. Key words: Tomb, Faith Tourism, Tombs of Düzce Provinc
Assessing disaster vulnerability and proposing an adaptive disaster risk reduction framework: the case of Istanbul
Get PDFThe importance of vulnerability analysis in disaster management is increasingly recognized, especially in megacities like Istanbul. This study focuses on conducting an in-depth analysis of the vulnerabilities of Istanbul's districts to various disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, floods, tsunamis, and sea-level rise. The evaluation considered three key factors: exposure, which refers to the shocks and stresses that a district may experience and the frequency and extent of potential losses; sensitivity, which indicates how the district responds to these shocks; and adaptive capacity, which reflects the district's ability to withstand and recover from such impacts. According to these key factors, indicators were identified, relevant data were collected and generated, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process method was applied for weighting. The study reveals that districts located in the southern belt, particularly those with dense urbanization and coastal areas, exhibit higher levels of vulnerability. Among Istanbul's 39 districts, 13 districts, including Gungoren, Bahcelievler, and Zeytinburnu, were classified as highly vulnerable. Additionally, 14 districts were moderately vulnerable, 9 had low vulnerability, and 3, including Silivri, Catalca, and Sile, had very low vulnerability. An adaptive disaster risk reduction framework was proposed for the districts. These findings are intended to assist local governments in more effectively planning disaster management and risk reduction strategies. The findings support Istanbul's resilience and offer valuable guidance for urban planning and disaster management, both locally and globally.Technological Research Council of TurkeyUrban Problems and Local Government Research and Implementation Centre at Marmara University [122K627]Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)TUBITAKThis study was conducted by the Urban Problems and Local Government Research and Implementation Centre at Marmara University and supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) under Grant Number 122K627.

Does sacrifice always lead to burnout in romantic relationships? The role of relational equity and appreciation
Get PDFEarlier studies have extended the literature on sacrifice by examining the positive and negative effects and addressing two different aspects of sacrifice, i.e., perceived as satisfying and perceived as harmful. However, there has been less focus on the psychological mechanisms that underlie the perception of sacrifice as harmful within couple relationships. The present study investigates whether the perception of sacrifice harmfulness is associated with couple burnout and explores the roles of relational equity and appreciation in these relationships. The participants comprised 749 married individuals residing in various cities across T & uuml;rkiye (Mage = 33.41, SD 1/4 = 9.12). Data were collected using the Demographic Information Form, the Couple Burnout Measure, the Appreciation in Relationships Scale, the Relational Equity Scale, and the Perceived Sacrifice Harmfulness Scale. The PROCESS macro was used to simultaneously test the mediation effect of relational equity and the moderation effect of being appreciated (Model 8). The findings indicated that perceived sacrifice harmfulness was positively associated with couple burnout and negatively associated with relational equity. Relational equity partially mediated the relationship between perceived sacrifice harmfulness and couple burnout. Moreover, the perception of being appreciated moderated this mediation at the first stage of the process. Furthermore, among partners who perceive their sacrifices as harmful, those with low levels of being appreciated feel unequal within the relationship. The results from this study extend research on the potential consequences of perceived sacrifice harmfulness and emphasize the importance of uncovering the underlying mechanisms. Additionally, while these findings do not provide direct practical implications, they offer insights that may inform behavioral recommendations for couples in clinical settings
The implications of integrating positive psychological frameworks into clinical practice in cardiac surgery
Get PDFThere is a growing recognition of the significance of the mental and emotional readiness of patients prior to undergoing heart surgery. Self Determination Theory, a part of Positive Psychology delves into the realms of happiness, drive, and satisfaction in life. This theory highlights the importance of autonomy, competence, and relatedness as fundamental basic psychological needs necessary for attaining life satisfaction, motivation, and psychological well-being. To examine these aspects in this study, it is assessed the levels of basic psychological needs, motivation levels, and levels of psychological energy of patients undergoing heart surgery. Basic Psychological Needs Scale, Motivation Scale, and Psychological Energy Scale are used for data collection. Through an analysis involving independent samples t-tests on 55 patients, the research findings revealed these psychological outcomes associated with heart surgery. Following heart surgery, participants showed decreases in their levels of psychological needs satisfaction, motivation, and psychological energy
“A century in the cinema” or the centenary of Turkish cinema: some pretexts for not approaching the history of early Turkish cinema from the perspective of the new film history
Get PDFEn 2014, le centième anniversaire du cinéma turc a été prestigieusement célébré au Festival International du Film d’Antalya avec la publication d’un ouvrage collectif intitulé Un siècle au cinéma : cadeau pour le centième anniversaire du cinéma turc. Cinquante-deux auteurs ont mêlé le discours scientifique au discours cinéphilique dans ce livre historique qui mélange les approches thématique, politique, économique, sociale, féministe, scénaristique, filmocentrique, auteuriste, anecdotique et didactique au détriment d’une approche historienne qui pourrait problématiser les sources, les méthodes, les objets et l’écriture de l’histoire traditionnelle du cinéma turc. Dans cet ouvrage hétérogène, quatre auteurs s’intéressent seulement « aux débuts du cinéma en Turquie » en construisant leurs objets historiques à partir d’un discours narratif et réhabilitant plutôt que descriptif et démonstratif. Leur relation aux archives non-filmiques doit être critiquée parce qu’ils privilégient souvent l’utilisation des documents secondaires par rapport aux sources primaires. L’objectif de cet article est d’analyser la réflexion menée et les instruments de recherche utilisés par ces historiens sur les premiers temps du cinéma turc à travers un corpus de quatre textes tirés de cet ouvrage. Le but est donc de mettre en question la compétence scientifique et la vérifiabilité empirique de ces textes en les comparant aux principes méthodologiques et épistémologiques du concept de « nouvelle histoire du cinéma ».2014 yılında Türk sinemasının yüzüncü yılı, Uluslararası Antalya Film Festivali’nde Sinemada Bir Asır: Türk Sinemasının 100. Yılına Armağan başlıklı kolektif çalışmanın yayınlanmasıyla itibarlı şekilde kutlandı. Elli iki yazar; tematik, politik, ekonomik, sosyal, feminist, senaryo merkezli, film merkezli, auteurist (yönetmen merkezli), anekdotik ve didaktik yaklaşımları harmanlayan bu sinema tarihi kitabında, tarihsel yaklaşımın zararına olacak şekilde bilimsel söylemi sinemasever söylemle karıştırarak geleneksel Türk sinema tarihinin kaynaklarını, yöntemlerini, nesnelerini, sorunlarını, dönemselleştirmelerini ve yazımını sorunsallaştıramadı. Üstelik bu heterojen çalışmaya katkı sunan sadece dört yazar, tarihsel nesnelerini betimleyici ve kanıtlayıcı olmaktan ziyade anlatısal ve rehabilite edici bir söylemden inşa ederek, kendilerinden önceki araştırmacıların ele aldıkları “Türkiye’de sinemanın başlangıcı” meselesi ile ilgilendi. Onların filmsel olmayan arşivlerle olan ilişkileri genellikle birincil kaynaklar yerine ikincil belgelerin kullanımını tercih ettikleri için eleştirel yöntemin süzgecinden geçirilmelidir. Söz konusu dört yazarın ikincil kaynaklara veya filmsel olmayan kaynaklara güvenmeleri sorunsallaştırılmalıdır çünkü onlar; genellikle birincil kaynaklara kıyasla anılara, tanıklıklara ve geç yayınlanmış akademik yazılara öncelik vermektedir. “Yeni sinema tarihi” paradigmasına hiç uygun düşmeyen bu yaklaşım, eleştirel tarih yazımı çözümlemesinden ziyade yerleşik Türk sinema tarihyazımı anlatılarındaki kronolojik kilometre taşlarını, ilkleri, öncüleri, başlangıç yani big-bang arayışını ve temel mitleri vurgulayan, pekiştiren geleneksel, ulusalcı bir tarih yazımını sürdürmektedir. Bu metinlerin, sinema/film araştırmaları disiplininin kurumsallaştığı Batı üniversitelerinde ortaya çıkan, yerleşen ve gelişen yeni sinema tarihi paradigmasının metodolojik ve epistemolojik ilkeleriyle karşılaştırılması ve bilimsel yeterlilikleri ile ampirik doğrulanabilirlikleri sorgulanmalıdır. Bu makalenin amacı da adı geçen anma kitabından alınan dört metinden oluşan doğru bir örneklem üzerinden yazarların Türk sinemasının ilk dönemlerine dair tefekkürlerini ve kullandıkları araştırma araçlarını tarihyazımsal işlem yaklaşımından analiz etmektir
Şehirlerin Fazileti Üzerine Bir İnceleme: Askalân Örneği
Get PDFGünümüzde Filistin meselesi çerçevesinde yaşanan gelişmeler, Hz. Peygamber’in (s.a.v.) Şam bölgesine dair müjdelerinin tespit edilmesini ve bu alanda yapılan akademik çalışmaların artırılmasını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Hz. Peygamber döneminde Bilâdü’ş-Şâm olarak bilinen ve bugünkü Filistin’i de içine alan bölgede, Kudüs başta olmak üzere, hakkında rivayet bulunan önemli şehirler arasında Askalân ve Gazze yer almaktadır. Rivayetlere göre, Hz. Peygamber’in bu iki şehir için “iki gelin” ifadesini kullandığı ve burada yaşayanları müjdelediği nakledilmiştir. Ayrıca, Hz. Peygamber en faziletli ribâtın Askalân’da yapılacağını haber vermiştir. Ancak, Askalân hakkında birçok uydurma rivayetin bulunması, bazı âlimlerin bu rivayetleri genellemesine neden olmuştur. Oysa Askalân’ın faziletine dair nakledilen rivayetler arasında senedi sahih olanların yanı sıra, zayıf olup sahih rivayetlerle desteklenenler de bulunmaktadır. Bu durum, konunun tamamen asılsız olmadığını göstermektedir. Nitekim İbn Hacer ve İmam Süyûtî gibi âlimlerin de bu doğrultuda görüş belirttiği bilinmektedir. Bununla birlikte, Askalân’ın faziletiyle ilgili rivayetler, İslâm dünyasında İstanbul’un fethini müjdeleyen rivayetler kadar geniş bir kabul görmemiştir. Bu durumun en önemli sebebi, Askalân bölgesinin erken dönemde Müslümanların hâkimiyetine girmesi ve dolayısıyla uzun vadeli bir fetih beklentisinin oluşmamasıdır
The impact of institutional contexts on rational-intuitive cognitive reasoning and strategic entrepreneurial behavior
Get PDFPurpose - This study examines the effects of regulative, normative and cognitive-cultural institutions on rational and intuitive cognitive reasoning and their subsequent impact on strategic entrepreneurial behavior. The study also explores the mediating role of rational and intuitive cognitive reasoning in the relationship between institutions and strategic entrepreneurial behavior.Design/methodology/approach - The proposed model was tested with 2,051 survey responses collected from firms operating in the manufacturing (n: 784), service (n: 764) and retail (n: 503) sectors in T & uuml;rkiye. The data were analyzed using Smart PLS software and structural equation modeling.Findings - The findings show that normative and cognitive cultural institutions positively affect rational and intuitive cognitive reasoning. However, the analysis could not confirm this effect for regulative institutions. Findings suggest that normative and cognitive cultural institutions affect strategic entrepreneurial behavior through rational-intuitive cognitive reasoning.Originality/value - Building upon institutional and cognitive experiential self theories, this study offers new insights into the relationships among regulative, normative and cognitive-cultural institutions, rational and intuitive cognitive reasoning and strategic entrepreneurial behavior of firms.TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye) [1059B192300243]This research was supported by TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye) under grant number 1059B192300243
Gastrointestinal features of pediatric iga vasculitis and their association with renal complications: an observational study
Get PDFImmunoglobulin A (IgA) vasculitis is the most common systemic vasculitis in childhood, primarily affecting the skin, gastrointestinal system (GIS), joints, and kidneys. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical and laboratory characteristics of mild and severe GIS involvement in pediatric patients with IgA vasculitis and to investigate its association with renal involvement. A retrospective review was conducted on 794 pediatric patients diagnosed with IgA vasculitis between 1997 and 2024. Demographic data, clinical findings, and laboratory parameters were collected from patient records. GIS involvement was classified as mild (abdominal pain, vomiting, or occult blood in stool) or severe (melena, hematochezia, or intussusception). Renal involvement was defined based on hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, or renal insufficiency. Among 794 patients, 430 (54.2%) were male, with a mean age at diagnosis of 7.8 +/- 3.3 years. GIS involvement was observed in 422 (53.1%) patients, of whom 333 (78.9%) had mild GIS involvement and 89 (21.1%) had severe GIS involvement. Renal involvement was detected in 171 (21.5%) patients, and was more frequent in those with GIS involvement (26.3% vs. 16.1%, p = 0.001). GIS (55.6% (n = 306) vs. 47.1% (n = 115)) and renal (24.5% (n = 134) vs. 15.2% (n = 37)) involvement were more common in patients aged > 5 years than in patients 5 years), and the presence of occult blood in stool were associated with a higher likelihood of renal involvement in pediatric IgA vasculitis. However, the severity of GIS involvement did not correlate with renal involvement, suggesting that renal pathology may be influenced by independent mechanisms rather than the severity of GIS symptoms.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBIdot;TAK)Open access funding provided by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUB & Idot;TAK)
Short-Term Clinical Evaluation of Tibial Tunnel Angle and Position in Anatomical Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction
Get PDFBackground and Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the influence of the angle and position of the tibial tunnel in the coronal and sagittal planes on short-term postoperative clinical outcomes following arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Materials and Methods: This retrospective study included 40 patients who underwent anatomical ACLR between 1 January 2023 and 31 December 2023 and had a follow-up period of at least 4 months. The angle of the tibial tunnel on the AP radiograph and both the angle and anteroposterior position on the lateral radiograph were measured. Clinical evaluations were conducted using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, and the Lysholm Knee Score, along with measurements of knee flexion and extension, to assess short-term outcomes at 1, 2, and 4 months postoperatively. Results: In patients whose tibial tunnels were positioned at 40-50 degrees in the coronal plane, Lysholm scores were significantly higher at the 2nd and 4th months compared to other angles. In the sagittal plane, a tunnel angle between 30 degrees and 40 degrees was associated with significantly increased IKDC scores at both the 2nd and 4th months. Additionally, tunnels with an anterior-posterior ratio of 0.4-0.6 in the sagittal plane were associated with limitations in flexion and extension at the 4th month. There was no significant difference in VAS scores between the groups. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that optimizing the tibial tunnel angle in both the coronal and sagittal planes may play a crucial role in early postoperative knee function. Specifically, tibial tunnels placed between 40 degrees and 50 degrees in the coronal plane and 30 degrees and 40 degrees in the sagittal plane were associated with higher functional scores. However, tunnels positioned with an anterior-posterior ratio of 0.4 to 0.6 were linked to greater joint motion limitation. These findings indicate that angular and positional optimization of the tibial tunnel may have contributed to improved functional recovery following ACL reconstruction
Systematic identification of needlefish (Belonidae) species using molecular genetic and morphological markers in the Mediterranean and Black Seas
Get PDFIn this study, we aimed to clarify the taxonomic status of Belonidae species distributed in the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea by conducting detailed genetic and morphological markers. A total of 550 needlefish samples were caught between January 2022 and January 2024. The data set used in the study contains a total of 171 sequences for the COI gene and 120 sequences for the 12s rRNA gene from different Belonidae species, including data from GenBank. Systematic analysis of needlefish species was investigated by using sequencing of mtDNA COI and 12s rRNA gene regions and morphological characters in the Turkish Marine Waters. A separate analysis of the two mitochondrial genes supported by morphological characters revealed that each species is grouped within itself. The genetic and morphological analyses showed that Belone belone acus and Belone belone euxini which are considered as the subspecies of Belone belone are not subspecies of the genus Belone and should be considered at the species level, Belone belone. Belone svetovidovi is also considerably different from Belone belone and should be considered as a different species. T. acus imperialis, which is thought to be distributed in the Mediterranean Sea, is not a subspecies of Tylosorus acus and should be revised as Tylosorus imperialis which genetically differs from Tylosorus acus and also other Tylosorus species at the species level.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey [TUBITAK-121N777]Bulgarian Academy of Sciences [BAS-IC-TR/1/2022-2023]TUBITAKThis study was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK-121N777) and the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (BAS-IC-TR/1/2022-2023).
