Dijital kolonyalizmin kökenleri
Full text linkThis article explores the historical and structural foundations of digital colonialism by examining how contemporary digital infrastructures, dominated by powerful multinational corporations and nation-states, replicate and extend traditional colonial hierarchies. Drawing on perspectives from political science and communication studies, the study conceptualizes digital colonialism as a multidimensional phenomenon encompassing economic, technological, epistemic, and cultural domination. It argues that digital platforms function as tools of extractive capitalism, enabling the appropriation of data, algorithmic governance, and monopolization of digital infrastructures. The article highlights how this digital hegemony disproportionately affects the Global South, reinforcing dependencies and limiting technological sovereignty. Utilizing the ethnography of written texts as a methodological framework, the study contextualizes digital colonial practices within broader histories of imperialism and capitalist expansion. While mapping the ideological and structural mechanisms of digital colonialism, the article also investigates possible resistance strategies, including digital sovereignty, open-source alternatives, and transnational cooperation. Ultimately, the article advocates for a critical rethinking of global digital governance structures to promote justice, autonomy, and equity in the digital age.Bu makale, günümüz dijital altyapılarının güçlü çok uluslu şirketler ve devletler tarafından nasıl kontrol edildiğini ve bu kontrolün geleneksel sömürgeci hiyerarşileri nasıl yeniden ürettiğini inceleyerek dijital sömürgeciliğin tarihsel ve yapısal temellerini araştırmaktadır. Siyaset bilimi ve iletişim çalışmaları perspektiflerinden hareketle dijital sömürgecilik, ekonomik, teknolojik, epistemik ve kültürel boyutları olan çok yönlü bir olgu olarak ele alınmaktadır. Dijital platformların, verilerin çıkarılması, algoritmik yönetim ve dijital altyapıların tekelleştirilmesi yoluyla sömürücü bir kapitalizmin araçları haline geldiği ileri sürülmektedir. Makale, bu dijital hegemonyanın Küresel Güney’i orantısız biçimde etkilediğini, bağımlılık ilişkilerini pekiştirdiğini ve teknolojik egemenliği sınırladığını ortaya koymaktadır. Yazılı metinlerin etnografisi yöntemine dayanan çalışma, dijital sömürgecilik pratiklerini emperyalizm ve kapitalist genişleme tarihleri bağlamında değerlendirmektedir. Dijital sömürgeciliğin ideolojik ve yapısal mekanizmalarını haritalandıran makale, dijital egemenlik, açık kaynak teknolojiler ve ulusötesi iş birlikleri gibi direniş stratejilerini de incelemektedir. Sonuç olarak çalışma, adalet, özerklik ve eşitliği önceleyen yeni bir küresel dijital yönetişim yapısının inşası için eleştirel bir yeniden değerlendirme çağrısı yapmaktadır
The impact of internal control system effectiveness on store performance in the retail media sector in the age of sustainability: Case of D&R store
Full text linkThis study mainly aimed to examine the impact of the effectiveness of the internal control system on store performance through the example of D&R Store in the retail media sector in Türkiye. In the study, it was investigated whether the effectiveness of the internal control system has a significant and positive effect on the perception of store performance through the COSO internal control components. It was also investigated whether these perceptions differed according to demographic characteristics. Methodologically, a descriptive online survey method including a questionnaire prepared in accordance with the 5-point Likert scale was used to collect data. 302 employees responded to the survey included statements regarding demographic characteristics and COSO’s main internal control components. The data were analyzed with SPSS-22. The study concluded that all COSO internal control components (control environment, risk assessment, control activities, informationcommunication, monitoring) have a positive and significant effect on store’s performance perception. Furthermore, the study revealed that these perceptions differed according to demographic characteristics. While statistically significant differences in perceptions were found according to demographic characteristics such as gender, job position, and years of professional experience, no significant differences were found based on demographic criteria such as age and educational level. The study is considered to contribute to the literature because it is the first study to investigate the impact of the effectiveness of the COSO internal control system components on store performance together with the example of D&R Store in the retail media sector. The study is limited by the selected sample store, number of participants, survey questions-answers, the applied statistical analysis methods and tests. Therefore, in order to reach more general results, it is suggested to expand the studies with more diverse and larger numbers of stores in the retail media sector, employees, survey questions and statistical methods
What the media doesn’t see: Afghan and Syrian labor in Turkey
Full text linkEste estudio examina la imagen de los inmigrantes afganos y sirios en los medios de comunicación turcos, centrándose en las dimensiones socioeconómicas e ideológicas de esta representación. A través del análisis de contenido, la investigación pone de manifiesto que las narrativas de los medios de comunicación a menudo asocian a estos migrantes con la delincuencia y los problemas de seguridad, obviando al mismo tiempo sus contribuciones económicas, en particular en el mercado laboral informal. El estudio destaca que estas representaciones contribuyen a marginar y excluir a los inmigrantes, perpetuando el racismo institucional. Al analizar críticamente estas representaciones mediáticas, el estudio reclama una información más equilibrada y medidas políticas inclusivas que reconozcan la contribución de los trabajadores migrantes a la sociedad turca.This study examines the portrayal of Afghan and Syrian migrants in Turkish media, focusing on the socio-economic and ideological dimensions of this representation. Through content analysis, the research highlights how media narratives often associate these migrants with crime and security concerns while overlooking their economic contributions, particularly in the informal labor market. The study underscores how such portrayals contribute to the marginalization and exclusion of migrants, perpetuating institutional racism. By critically analyzing these media depictions, the study calls for more balanced reporting and inclusive policy measures that recognize the contributions of migrant workers to Turkish society

Havayolu gelir potansiyelini detaylandırma: Havayolu endüstrisinde ek gelir stratejileri üzerinde kapsamlı bir çalışma
No full textThe airline industry is distinguished by its high operating costs, intense competition, and susceptibility to domestic and international disruptions, resulting in chronically low profitability. The competitive landscape of the sector has been fundamentally reshaped by the rise of low-cost carriers, which not only disrupted traditional cost structures but also pioneered the concept of ancillary revenue. This innovation enables airlines to generate income beyond conventional ticket sales by diversifying their revenue streams through non-core offerings. Ancillary revenue, defined as income derived from supplementary products and services beyond an enterprise's primary operations, has become a cornerstone of contemporary airline strategies. Airlines increasingly rely on advanced revenue management systems to optimize inventory allocation and maximize overall revenue. These systems play a critical role in enhancing financial resilience and fortifying competitive positioning within the industry's volatile environment. Heightened competition, spurred by the aggressive growth of low-cost carriers and the industry's inherent vulnerability to political and economic shocks, has driven legacy airlines to adapt. Traditional carriers have progressively incorporated elements of the low-cost model, such as unbundling services and charging for previously included amenities, as a means to reduce costs and boost revenue through ancillary channels. This strategic shift reflects a broader objective to achieve sustainable profitability in a fiercely competitive market. To counteract the pricing pressures of low-cost competitors, traditional airlines have integrated sophisticated revenue management practices to optimize inventory utilization and operational efficiency. Consequently, ancillary revenue has emerged as a critical driver of financial performance and long-term viability in the sector. To reduce their costs and increase revenue, traditional carriers have changed their business model by separating some of the products and services they offer their passengers and charging them separately. In this study, confirmatory analysis will be applied to reveal the importance of the subcategories that a la carte services of the ancillary revenue.Havayolu sektörü, yüksek işletme maliyetleri, yoğun rekabet ve hem yerel hem de uluslararası etkiler karşısındaki kırılganlığıyla karakterize edilmekte olup, bu durum sektörde kalıcı olarak düşük kârlılığa yol açmaktadır. Düşük maliyetli havayolu şirketlerinin sektöre girişi, yalnızca geleneksel maliyet yapılarını değiştirmekle kalmamış, aynı zamanda yan gelirler konseptini tanıtarak sektördeki rekabet dinamiklerini önemli ölçüde dönüştürmüştür. Bu yenilik, geleneksel bilet satışlarının ötesine geçerek kullanılmayan gelir kaynaklarını değerlendirmekte ve havayolu şirketlerinin gelirlerini çeşitlendirmelerine olanak tanımaktadır. Yan gelirler, bir işletmenin ana faaliyetleri dışında sunulan ürün ve hizmetlerden elde edilen gelir olarak tanımlanmakta ve günümüz havayolu operasyonlarının ayrılmaz bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Havayolu şirketleri, ileri düzey gelir yönetim sistemlerinden yararlanarak envanter tahsisini optimize etmeyi ve toplam gelirlerini artırmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu sistemler, rekabetin yoğun olduğu ve zorlu piyasa koşullarında havayolu şirketlerinin finansal dayanıklılıklarını artırmak ve rekabetçi konumlarını güçlendirmek için stratejik olarak tasarlanmıştır. Düşük maliyetli havayolu şirketlerinin büyümesiyle artan rekabet baskısı ve sektördeki siyasi ve ekonomik dalgalanmalara olan hassasiyet, geleneksel havayolu şirketlerini yenilik yapmaya yöneltmiştir. Geleneksel taşıyıcılar, düşük maliyetli iş modelinin unsurlarını giderek daha fazla benimseyerek hizmetlerini ayrıştırmış ve eskiden bilet fiyatına dahil olan ürün ve hizmetler için ek ücretler talep etmeye başlamıştır. Bu paradigma değişikliği, yalnızca maliyet azaltma gereksinimlerini karşılamakla kalmayıp, aynı zamanda yan gelirler akışları yoluyla gelir maksimizasyonu amacına da hizmet etmektedir. Düşük maliyetli rakiplerin agresif fiyat stratejilerine karşı koymak için geleneksel havayolu şirketleri, envanter kullanımında maksimum verimlilik sağlamak amacıyla gelişmiş gelir yönetim sistemlerini giderek daha fazla entegre etmektedir. Bu operasyonel strateji, yan gelirlerin havayolu şirketlerinin finansal performanslarını sürdürülebilir kılmada hayati bir rol oynadığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu çalışma, yan gelirler kategorilerinin önemini sistematik olarak incelemek için birinci düzey doğrulayıcı faktör analizini kullanacaktır. Bu yaklaşım, havayolu iş modellerinin kârlılığına ve stratejik sürdürülebilirliğine ilişkin daha derin bir anlayış sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır
“Worship is not merely about form”: Religiously integrated cognitive behavioral therapy in a case of scrupulosity
No full text[Early Access]Treating clients with scrupulosity (religious obsessive–compulsive disorder) requires clinicians to be prepared for various forms of resistance and ambivalence. These individuals may experience hesitation not only during therapy but also when initially seeking help. In particular, concerns about not being fully understood, being misinterpreted, or unintentionally misrepresenting their faith may contribute to hesitation in seeking professional support, especially among individuals with strong religious sensitivity. This case study presents the therapy process and outcomes of a client with scrupulosity, using a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach integrated with religious interventions. In previous attempts to receive treatment, the client had avoided fully disclosing his symptoms due to feeling inadequately understood, perceiving that his concerns were normalized without sufficient exploration, and experiencing discomfort due to concerns about misrepresenting his religiosity. The client was assessed using the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) scales before treatment, after treatment, and at follow-up stages. The results showed significant improvement: his obsessive–compulsive disorder symptoms remained below the clinical threshold at the 9-month follow-up, and his overall functioning increased considerably. To better understand which aspects of the treatment contributed to the observed outcomes, qualitative data were obtained from the client’s responses to an open-ended therapy evaluation form. These responses emphasized the importance of the therapist’s sensitivity to the client’s religious values and the effective use of religious references throughout the therapy process. The case illustrates how a therapeutic approach that respects the client’s faith-based concerns can foster trust, improve treatment engagement, and contribute to both clinical and spiritual well-being
Quantitative analysis of cryptocurrency susceptibility: A mathematical benchmarking model
No full textThe rise of cryptocurrencies has brought attention to significant security challenges, particularly the 51% attack. This study focuses on developing benchmarks to evaluate varying levels of vul nerability among cryptocurrencies. A detailed review of the literature identifies a lack of ap proaches having statistical rigor, leading to the development of a comprehensive susceptibility test model. The proposed model is basedonkey parameters extracted from existing studies and validated with additional quantitative data for accuracy and reliability. Benchmarking thresholds are determined using k-means clustering, allowing for the classification of cryptocurrencies into distinct security profiles. The analysis identifies five clusters: resilient cryptocurrencies have sus ceptibility scores below 0.532, while scores exceeding 1.557 indicate high vulnerability. The re maining clusters represent intermediate levels of resilience and risk. These findings contribute to a better understanding of cryptocurrency security, supporting informed investment decisions and providing a basis for future research and policy development
Compensation for benefits in case of ghasb (Extortion) and itlaf (Destruction) in terms of Islamic law
No full textBu çalışmada gasp ve itlaf durumunda menfaatin tazmini ile ilgili İslam hukukçularının görüşleri delilleriyle ele alınmaya çalışılmıştır. İslam hukuku, mülkiyet haklarının korunmasını ve zararın giderilmesini temel ilke olarak benimsemiştir. İslam hukukunda mala yönelik haksız fiiller hırsızlık, gasp ve itlaf gibi başlıklar altında ele alınmış, ceza ve borçlar hukuku bölümlerinde incelenmiştir. Hırsızlık ceza hukuku kapsamında ele alınırken, gasp ve itlaf ise bir kısmı ceza hukuku bölümünde işlenmekle birlikte genel olarak borçlar hukuku ve tazminat ile ilgili bölümlerde ele alınmıştır. Gerek menfaatin tanımlanmasında gerekse hukuki tasarruflara konu olmasında mezhepler arasında içtihad farklılıkları oluşmuştur. Buna bağlı olarak gasp ve itlaf gibi haksız fiillerde menfaatin zarara uğraması ve tazmini ile ilgili de farklı görüşler benimsenmiştir. Maddi zararlar nispeten kolay tespit edilip telafi edilebilirken, menfaat kaybı gibi soyut ve ihtimale dayalı zararlar hukukî açıdan daha karmaşık bir mesele olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu bağlamda klasik fıkıh kaynakları ve mezheplerin yaklaşımları, özellikle başlangıçta menfaati mal olarak görmeyen Hanefî mezhebi ekseninde analiz edilmiştir. Ancak vakıf ve yetim mallarının korunması gibi pratik ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda Hanefî içtihatlarında zamanla istisnalar geliştirilmiş ve menfaatin belirli şartlarda tazmin edilebileceği kabul edilmiştir. Diğer mezheplerde ise menfaatin doğrudan mal kapsamında değerlendirilmesi erken dönemden itibaren tazmininin kabulü yönünde ictihada sebep olmuştur. Osmanlı döneminde Mecelle ile bu görüş daha da sistematik hale getirilmiştir. Çalışma, nihayetinde İslam hukukunun adalet ve zararı önleme gibi temel amaçlarıyla uyumlu bir şekilde menfaat tazminine imkân tanınması gerektiği sonucuna varmaktadır.In this study, the views of Islamic jurists regarding the compensation of benefits in cases of ghasb (usurpation) and itlaf (destruction) are examined along with their legal evidences. Islamic law adopts the protection of property rights and the rectification of harm as fundamental principles. Unlawful acts against property in Islamic law are addressed under the categories of theft, usurpation, and destruction, and are examined within both criminal and civil (contractual and compensatory) legal frameworks. While theft is generally discussed under criminal law, ghasb and itlaf are primarily dealt with in the context of civil obligations and compensation. There are significant differences of opinion among the Islamic schools of law concerning the definition of benefit (manfa‘ah) and its eligibility to be the subject of legal transactions. Consequently, different juristic approaches have developed regarding the compensability of benefits lost due to unlawful acts such as ghasb and itlaf. While material damages can often be easily identified and compensated, the loss of benefits—being abstract and probabilistic—poses more complex legal challenges. This study analyzes classical jurisprudential sources with a particular focus on the Hanafi school, which initially did not recognize benefit as a form of compensable property. However, in response to practical necessities—especially concerning the protection of waqf (endowment) and the property of the orphan—later Hanafi jurists introduced exceptions, acknowledging that benefits could be subject to compensation under specific circumstances. This evolving approach was eventually codified in a more systematic manner during the Ottoman era through the Mecelle. In contrast, other schools of Islamic law (Shafi‘i, Maliki, and Hanbali) have generally treated benefit as a form of property from the outset, leading to differing legal interpretations. Ultimately, this study concludes that permitting the compensation of benefits is in harmony with the essential aims of Islamic law—namely, the realization of justice and the prevention of harm
