A Hypothesis about the Author of Aja’ib al-Dunya
No full textAja’ib al-Dunya is one of the most famous Books of Wonders in Persian which has had a great impact on later works. Some scholars reject the attribution of this book to Abol-moayyed Balkhi, but identifying the author is a question that has so far remained unanswered. In the book Aja’ib Va Ghara’ib, Azari Esfarayeni referred to this book 14 times. In one of them, he attributed the book to Naser Khosrow. In this research, the author seeks to verify the accuracy of this attribution. The study demonstrates that the quotations made by Azari are available in the mentioned sources, and we can trust his honesty. Comparing those 14 stories shows that Azari used the same Aja’ib al-Dunya which is now available. Additionally, the examination of biographies and Naser Khosrow's works shows that he was probably interested in this branch of knowledge in an episode of his life. Therefore, it can be concluded that Azari Esfrayeni's statement is probably true and the book Aja’ib al-Dunya may have been composed by Naser Khosrow before converting to the Isma’ili thought and being entitled “Hojjat of Khorasan Island”

Hallyu marketing in Japan: a configuration approach to K-brand image
No full textSince cultural community factors shaping the Korean brand (i.e. K-brand) image are rarely discussed, this research identifies the key community elements shaping the K-brand image in Japan where favourable attitudes towards Hallyu (i.e. Korean wave) can occur online. Drawing on the community cluster framework for cultural branding, we employ a configuration approach using Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to uncover the critical cultural community factors and their combinations influencing the K-brand image. Our findings reveal two distinct paths shaping the K-brand image. This paper proposes theoretical and practical insights to strengthen the K-brand image
The Effect of Electricity Load Management on the Operations of Small and Medium Enterprises: A Case Study of La-Nkwantanang Madina Municipality
No full textGhana has been experiencing frequent power cuts over the last ten years. The need to expand and diversify its generation capacity in order to improve supply security is key for development. This study explored the effects of electricity load management on the operation of small-scale enterprises, and examined the effectiveness of these enterprises’ coping mechanisms. A cross–sectional survey design was adopted as well as the mixed approach research design. A total of 152 small scale traders were sampled from Madina in La-Nkwantanang Municipality in the Greater Accra Region. The study depicted that the recent load management is having adverse effect on the profitability of many SMEs owing to the coping mechanism measures such as retrenchment of workers, working at night, reduction in workers’ salaries and use of generators they have adopted to lessen the impact of the frequent load management reported less effectiveness in resolving the challenges posed by load management. This paper advocate that, government should invest in solar energy to be a substitute power supply to the country during the dry season where there is constant sunlight which obviously will also reduce pressure on electricity plants. Broken and unbroken but old plants can be fixed or replaced by VRA and ECG to enable them work effectively as well as explore other energy technologies such as the thermal energy and the wind energy to restore constant power supply.

A research on languages and methods used in the novel of Beksultan Nurjekeev's "Ey, Dunya Ey!"
No full textYirminci asrın başında yerleşik hayat geçen ve bu yerleşik hayata geçmenin Sovyetler birliği döneminde tamamlandığı Kazakistan’da Kazakçanın yazı dili olarak kullanılmaya başlaması da bu tarihten yaklaşık elli sene öncesine denk gelir. Ancak konuşulan bir dilin yazı dili haline gelmesi zordur ve zaman alır. Hele hele bu dil geniş bir coğrafyada kullanılıyorsa ve bu dilin konuşulduğu bölgede uzun yıllar başka bir dil eğitim ve resmi dil olarak kullanılmışsa yazı dilinin oturması, gelişmesini tamamlaması daha da uzun zaman alır. Kazakça bu maceranın öznesi olan bir dildir. Yazı dili olduktan sonra birkaç farklı alfabe ile yazılan Kazakçanın imlası da henüz oturmamıştır. Dilin yazılması ve imlası hala aydınlar arasında tartışma konusudur. Bu tartışmalar yaşanırken Kazakça ile pek çok edebi eser de verilmektedir. Çalışmada böyle bir dönemde verilen bir eser, üstelik tartışmaların tarafı olan birisi tarafından verilen bir eser üzerinde dil ve üslup incelemesi yapılmış, çağdaş Kazak edebiyatında önemli bir yere sahip olan Beksultan Nurjekeulı’nın dili ve üslubu “Ey, Dünye Ey!” romanı örneğinde ele alınarak dil ve üslubu değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın dil incelemesi bölümünde ses ve şekil bilgisi ile ilgili özellikler kelimelerin Kazakça sözlükteki yazımları esas alınarak değerlendirilmiş, aykırı kullanımlar tespit edilmiş, yabancı kelimeler ve kullanışları tespit edilmiş, dilin işlenmişliğine ve yazı dili oluşuna delil olması bakımından kelime grupları ve bunların yapısı ile incelenen metindeki cümle yapıları ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın üslup incelemesi bölümünde eser önce teknik olarak ele alınmış ve değerlendirilmiş; eserin anlatılışı, anlatıcının bakış açısı, romandaki zaman, mekân ve kahramanları; bunların birbiri ilme ilişkisi karşılaştırılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Üslup değerlendirmesinin bir parçası olarak yazarın Kazakça kelimeleri kullanışı, alıntı kelimelirin kullanışı, incelenen metinde yazarın kullandığı mahalli ve arkaik kelimeler, argo kullanımlar, metinde geçen atasözleri, deyimler; eserin edebiliğini göstermesi açısından yazarın kullandığı edebi sanatlar tespit edilerek verilmiş ve değerlendirilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Nurjekeulı, tarihî roman, Kazakistan 1916 olayları, Bolşevik ihtilali, Kazakistan’dan Çine göç, Jeltoksan OlaylarıAt the beginning of the twentieth century, Kazakhs’ transition to settle lives took place, and it was completed during the period of the Soviet Union. In Kazakhstan, the use of Kazakh as a written language is approximately fifty years before this date. It is difficult and time consuming for a spoken language to become a written language and it will take even longer time to settle and complete its development; if this language is spoken in a wide geographical area and foreign language has been used as an educational and official language for many years in the region. Kazakh is a language that is the subject of this adventure. The spelling of Kazakh, which was written in several different alphabets after it became a written language, has not yet been settled. About the writing and spelling of the language there is still no consensus among intellectuals; despite the fact that many literary works are also given in Kazakh. In this study, the language and style of Beksultan Nurjekeuli who has an important position in contemporary Kazakh literature and a work given by someone who is subject to the discussions, and the language and style of the "Kazakh" were evaluated by considering the “Ey, Dunya Ey!” novel as an example. In the language analysis section of the study, the features related to phonetics and morphology were evaluated based on the spelling of words in the Kazakh dictionary. At the same time, inconsistent uses have been identified, foreign words and their use have been identified, word groups and their structure and sentence structures in the text are examined in order to be evidence of language processing and writing language. In the style analysis section of the study, the work was first handled and evaluated technically; narration of the work, perspective of the narrator, time, place and heroes in the novel; their relationship to each other was evaluated by comparison. As part of the style assessment, the author's use of Kazakh words, the use of quoted words, the local and archaic words, slang uses, proverbs, and idioms in the text are analyzed. Besides these, the literary arts used by the author in order to demonstrate the workability of the work were also evaluated.
