Türkiye'nin yumuşak gücü ve sivil toplum kuruluşları: IDDEF örneği
Get PDFIsmailaga is a religious community implementing faith-based activities at the domestic and international levels with the instrument of an NGO, IDDEF. IDDEF (The Federation of Organizations that Value Humanity) is one of the NGOs of Ismailaga conducting educational and humanitarian aid activities with the religious spirit of Sufism at the international level, chiefly in African and Asian countries. This study first explores the values of Ismailaga in creating a civil society and analyzes IDDEF's international activities affecting Turkey's diplomatic relations in the context of soft power. In this thesis, the conceptual and theoretical framework related to community, identity, and civil society is emphasized, and qualitative research is carried out using participant observation, in-depth, semi-structured interviews, and a literature review. The study describes the values and mentality of the Ismailaga community, which forms the center of IDDEF's activities, and analyzes IDDEF's international education and humanitarian aid activities based on religious, Sufistic, and ahlusunnah (orthodox) values, revealing how it affects Turkish foreign policy in the context of soft power.İsmailağa, sivil toplum kuruluşları aracılığıyla yurt içinde ve yurt dışında inanç temelli faaliyetler yürüten dini bir cemaattir. İDDEF (İnsana Değer Veren Dernekler Federasyonu), başta Afrika ve Asya ülkeleri olmak üzere uluslararası düzeyde dinin tasavvufi boyutuyla eğitim ve insani yardım faaliyetleri yürüten İsmailağa'nın sivil toplum kuruluşlarından biridir. Bu araştırma, İsmailağa'nın bir sivil toplum oluştururken sahip olduğu değerleri araştırmakla birlikte İDDEF'in yaptığı uluslararası düzeydeki faaliyetlerin yumuşak güç bağlamında Türkiye'nin diplomatik ilişkilerini etkileyip etkilemediğini konu edinmektedir. Bu tezde cemaat, kimlik ve sivil toplumla ilgili kavramsal ve kuramsal çerçeve üzerinde durulmuş ve katılımcı gözlem, derinlemesine mülakat ve literatür taraması metotları kullanılarak nitel bir araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışma, ilk olarak İsmailağa cemaatinin IDDEF'in faaliyetlerinin merkezini oluşturan değer ve zihniyetini betimlemektedir. Daha sonra da İDDEF'in dini, tasavvufi ve ehli sünnet değerlerine dayalı uluslararası eğitim ve insani yardım faaliyetlerini analiz etmek suretiyle yumuşak güç bağlamında Türk dış politikasını nasıl etkilediğini ortaya koymaktadır
Constructing a Universal Ruler: Sultan Mehmet II and Hybrid Legitimacies of the Ottoman Empire
Get PDFThis study revisits the complex
imperial identity of Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II (Muhammad al-Fatih), to challenge the conventional portrayal of his reign as exclusively Islamic. While modern Muslim communities in Indonesia and Turkiye celebrate him as an ideal Islamic hero, a closer reading of historical sources reveals a ruler whose legitimacy emerged from a deliberate synthesis of Islamic, Byzantine, and Persian traditions—an identity best described as Islamicate. Through a critical examination of Tursun Beg’s Tarih-i Ebü’l-Feth, this study demonstrates how Intellectuals strategically wove together sacred, political and aesthetic symbols to construct Mehmed II’s authority as a universal ruler rather than a merely Muslim conqueror. By unsettling the binary of Islamic versus Christian civilizations, this study situates Mehmet II within a broader, polycentric Islamicate world and highlights the continuing relevance of his hybrid legitimacy for rethinking pluralism and political identity in contemporary Muslim societies
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
