    Tez (Yüksek Lisans) -- İstanbul Teknik Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2015Thesis (M.Sc.) -- İstanbul Technical University, Institute of Science and Technology, 2015Araştırma konusu olan Cihangir Camisi, Kanuni Sultan Süleyman tarafından, Haseki Hürrem Sultan’dan olan küçük şehzadesi Cihangir için 1559 – 1560 yıllarında Mimar Sinan’a yaptırılmıştır. Cami birçok kez yangın geçirdikten sonra 1889 – 1893 yıllarında Sultan II. Abdülhamit zamanında ise son kez, büyük ihtimal ile mimar Sarkis Balyan’a yaptırılarak günümüze ulaşmıştır. Caminin gerek ilk yapım dönemi olan 16. yüzyılda ve gerekse son yapım dönemleri olan 19. yüzyıldaki yapılarında değişmez plan şeması olarak dörtgen mekân üzerine kubbe ve yanlarda minare tasarımı kullanılmıştır. Geçirdiği bu dönemlerde, devrinin üslubuna göre biçimlenmiş olan cami son yapımıyla da Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun batılılaşma dönemindeki örneklerinden birini oluşturmuştur. Cami son olarak yapıldığı dönemde de, klasik Osmanlı mimari karakterini kaybetmemiş ve plan şemasındaki klasik tasarımın hâkimiyeti korunmuştur. Caminin ilk yapılışından bu yana geçirdiği yangınlar, doğal afet ve zamanın da doğal sonucu oluşan yıpranma ve kayıpları olmuştur. Son olarak 19. yüzyılda ikinci kez yeniden yapım süreçleri üzerinde yapılan araştırmalar ve çalışmalardan gözlemlenen sonuç, orijinali Mimar Sinan tarafından yapılan dörtgen planlı, tek kubbeli, önce tek daha sonra çift minareli olarak yaptırılan caminin ana karakteri ve plan tasarımında değişiklik olmadığıdır. Fakat camiye bağlı diğer bölümlerin (Tekke, hazire, hücre odacıklar, imarethane, sıbyan mektebi, avlu, sarnıç) mimari özellikleri ve yerleşim düzenleri hakkında kesin bilgiler olmadığından aynı kanıya varmak mümkün olamamaktadır. Caminin sade, gösterişten uzak süslemeleri ve tasarım sadeliğine karşın, 19. yy. daki batılılaşma etkileri cephe süslemelerinde dönemin bir karakteristiği olarak barok, rokoko, neoklasik, ampir süslemeler ile kendini göstermiştir. İç mekânda aydınlatma unsuru olarak avize, kandil kullanılmış seccadelerle ve duvarları dönemin tanınmış hattatlarının isimlerini içeren, Kur’an’dan ayetlerin yazılı olduğu levhalar ve sade kalem işleriyle süslenmiştir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun batılılaşma hareketinin getirdiği değişikliklerden, mimarlık alanındaki yapıtların da etkilendiği görülmektedir. Camimiz de bu değişiklikler süslemelerde ve özellikle yelpaze görünümünde açılan pencere düzenlemeleriyle açıkça görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda Cihangir Camisi, Sultan II. Abdülhamit zamanında son olarak yeniden yapılmasına rağmen klasik Osmanlı cami planından sapma göstermemiş ancak Dönem!in üslubunu yansıtan tasarım ve süsleme özellikleri ile birlikte Batı Mimarlığı izlerini de barındıran bir yapı haline gelmiştir.In this study we have examined and review the Mosque of Cihangir, during the years of 1559– 2015 which has been built under the reign of Süleyman the Magnificent for his son Cihangir; Who was also the son of Hürrem Sultan. Mosque was constructed in beetween 1559 and 1560 by Master Architect Mimar Sinan. The Mosque endured many fires but it has reached it’s latest outlook under the reign of Sultan Abdülhamit II, who has (strongly probable ) had the architect by Sarkis Balyan restore it between during the years1889 and 1893. We see that, during the building of the mosque, both in the 16. century and secondly in the 19. century, the unchanged plan of quatriladeral floor – base covered by one dome and minarets. Mosque remains one of the examples of classical Ottoman architecture. The original complex included other parts which not exists today.The design is the culmination of two centuries. With traditional Islamic Architecture and is one of the first mosque of the Classical period and secondly Westernization period.İnside decorations include verses from the Qur’an, many of them made by regarded as the greatest calligrapher of his time. The floors are covered with carpets, which are donated by the faithfull people and they are regularly replaced as they wear out. The many spacious windows confer a spacious impression glass windows with their intricate designs with Baroque elements and admit natural light. The many lamps inside the mosque were once covered with gold and gems. The great tablets on the walls are inscribed with the names of the caliphs and verses from the Quran. Considering all the periods that the mosque has seen, it should have been shaped according to those periods. However it can be seen that it has remained as the one of the last examples of the Westernisation period of the Ottoman Empire. Even during the last restoration it can be seen that it hasn’t lost it’s classical characterictics of Ottoman Architecture. it can be clearly seen that in it’s plan sheme; the rule of the classical theme.Ever since the Mosque’s first consruction; İt has endured many fires and a earthquake. Mosque’s final restoration was in the 19. century, it can be seen that it has kept it’s original scheme of plan from the Grand Architect Sinan ‘s period. We can cleary see Westernization influences and applications in the Mosque as being a masterpiece. However, it can’t be clearly understood the architectural specialities of the other portions of the Mosque. If the Mosque’s basic decorations and architecture are taken in to consideration, İt can be seen that during the 19 centuries in Westernization period the Baraque and rococo style decorations seen as the period characteristic of decorative style.If it can be judged , the aim of the Westernisation motives of the Ottoman period was not to change the cultural and artistic infrastructure but it was to fit in and to avoid the downfall of the Empire. Our subject the mosque of Cihangir encompasses all the characteristics of the time periods it has existed in .However it hasn’t shown any change from the classical Ottoman mosque plan sheme. But it can also be said that it has brought about certain architectural characrteristics according to Westernisation period.As a result it can be said that the mosques classical architecture can be redefined within the revaluation of the classical period. During Byzantine times, the area of the present neighborhood was probably not settled, although there were Byzantine buildings near present day Tophane and Fındıklı along the Bosphorus below Cihangir.During the reign of Süleiman the magnificent , the area was a forested hunting ground, it was one of the favorite places of Süleiman’s son Cihangir and after Cihangir’s death, Suleiman had mimar Sinan build a probably a wooden mosque there overlooking the Bosphorus. The neighborhood’s name comes from this mosque.Cihangir is one of the neigborhoods of the Beyoğlu district in İstanbul, the neighborhood has many narrow streets and it is located between Beyoğlu and Kabataş. The name means ’Conquerer’’ in Turkish and in turn, comes from the Persian compound word Johan+gir, meaning ‘’conqueror’’ of the world. The Cihangir mosque from which the neighborhood got it’s name, is like a prototype of the Dolmabahçe Mosque. Cihangir Mosque built by Mimar Sinan under the orders of Kanuni Sultan Süleyman, ( Suleiman the Magnificent) the original mosque, had quite a dramatic story, Suleiman, armed with the motive that his son Şehzade Mustafa ckoked to death. As a result, Hürrem’s son Şehzade Cihangir dies of grief and the mosque is constructed in his memory. İn late 19.th century, Levantines used to live in Cihangir, just like in Pera, In the 1920s and 1930s, Cihangir only consisted of two districts, In the 1940s and 50s the people that were working at entertainment spots in Beyoğlu began to live in Cihangir. This led to the construction of new buildings and the district became a settlement for well endowed people . After the second half of the 90s with the support of the public bodies and the efforts of the non-govermental organization the district gained it’s recent identity.The lexical meaning of the word ‘’Cihangir’’ is The person that captured the major part of the world ‘’ however, it is weird that such an ambitious word is the name for this mild district. To find out the fact we need to go back to the past to Suleyman the Magnificent had a son from Hürrem Sultan, named Cihangir. For the memory of his son, who died young. Suleiman had a mosque constructed in this place that looked like a large rock protruding from the sea The mosque that was constructed by mimar Sinan between the years 1559-1560 and was name Şehzade Cihangir Mosque this is how the district began to be called Cihangir. One of the places where you can see an amazing landscape of İstanbul.Cihangir Mosque’s garden has the best view of Bosphorus and İstanbul during the reign of Suleiman the Magnificent. The Cihangir district took it’s name from this mosque that sits high up on hill and overlooks the Bosphorus and is one of Mimar Sinan’s designs. İt was built in the 16th. century to commemorate Süleiman the magnificent son, Cihangir who in 1553 died of grief after his half brother Mustafa had been murdered by order of their father.Today building was reconstructed by Abdülhamit II in 1874 after the original building burnt down and althought it resembles the work of the famous architects the ‘’ Balyan Family’’they were not responsible fort his one. The mihrab inside has clouds painted on it that gives an impression of a stage set in a theatre. The picturesque Cihangir Mosque stands at the beginning points Cihangir Avenue. who died in Aleppo at the age of 22. When the mosque was totally damaged during the big fire in the 19.century. It was rebuilt by conntractor (foreman) Yani Kalfa and Todori Kalfa ( at he minaret ) and architect is unknown but strongly probably ( Sarkis Balyan ) with the order of Abdülhamit II. The Cihangir Mosque has one dome, two minarets and vaulted beautiful windows and interiorly decorated with distinctive examples of the line art . Baroque styled Cihangir Mosque looks similar to Dolmabahçe and Ortaköy Mosque.Yüksek LisansM.Sc

    This study aims to perform a validity-reliability test by developing the Functional Literacy Experience Scale based upon Ecological Theory (FLESBUET) for primary education students. The study group includes 209 fifth grade students at Sabri Taskin Primary School in the Kartal District of Istanbul, Turkey during the 2010-2011 academic year. Structure validity of scale is examined with exploratory factor analysis and first factor is named as school, second factor as family and third factor as environment in accordance with Ecological Theory. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient, item total and residual item correlation in relation to scale are figured out. Then, significance of difference between top 27% and bottom 27% group item average and relation between item discrimination and two practices have been examined. Total Cronbach alpha value of this scale accounts for .86 and total item value is between .26-.56. t-test results are of no significance, with the difference between the top 27% and the bottom 27% of the group's item average being significant, correlation value between two practices is high and there is a significant relation at .001 level as a result. All these results put forth that Functional Literacy Experience Scale based upon Ecological Theory (FLESBUET) is valid and reliable scale for education sector

    Diffusive author(s), cohesive author: Analysis of S/N (1994)

    No full text
    This study indicates the ways in which various aspects of the author(s) are brought forth in Dumb type’s performance art, the S/N production. Previous research has suggested a non-hierarchical organization of Dumb type and the absence of a “privileged author” in Dumb type’s collaborative work, S/N. However, the results that I have investigated from member’s interviews on the creative process of S/N along with my analysis of the recorded images of S/N, indicate a different aspect of the author(s). First, S/N was created through, so to speak, the collective ideas of the members of Dumb type. Further, S/N has at least nine quotations from previous performances, installations, and printed writings, besides the work-in-progress technique. Explicating one of the “author functions” as given by Michel Foucault, each text has plural subjects of the author. However, it has been revealed from members’ interviews that Teiji Furuhashi had a decision-making role in selecting the members’ ideas within the performance. Since then, S/N has had plural subjects of creation; however, Furuhashi is one of the subjects of creation along with the “privileged author.” S/N has plural authors (diffusive authors) yet at the same time, it has a “privileged author,” Teiji Furuhashi (cohesive author)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Constructing the Partnership with Turkey on the Refugee Crisis: EU Perceptions and Expectations

    No full text
    The article sheds light on the period of intensified dialogue between Turkey and the EU and how it has been perceived by the latter since the climax of the Syrian civil war and the ensuing humanitarian crisis. To this end, the paper analyses official documents and expert interviews through the qualitative research program ATLAS.ti in order to trace salient patterns in the discourse of EU institutions, premised on the methodological approach of grounded theory. The findings of the analysis suggest that the official EU approach to the partnership has been mainly imbued in a security perspective that seeks to externalize the refugee crisis, pursued with the promise of re-invigorating Turkey?s long inert accession process

    Software development is a must for almost all industries including services, production, health and even construction. Being so widespread, software development industry needs metrics for especially two reasons; performance evaluation of development teams and continuous improvement. Moreover, use of metrics and measurements provides the ability to understand the problems and waste in the value stream so that they can be eliminated. This paper proposes a model of metrics -to be called as Agile Performance Indicators- which is also being developed and tested in the largest Digital Operator in Turkey

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    No full text
    We 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

    Can archives of audiovisual TV interviews be used to make authors more visible to students, and thereby reduce the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers in college classes? We examined students in a college course who learned about one scholar's ideas through watching an audiovisual TV interview (i.e., visible author format) and about another scholar's ideas through reading a formal text description (i.e., invisible author format). For the invisible author, native language speakers scored significantly higher than the non-native language speakers on a corresponding exam question (i.e., a cognitive measure), generated more words on the exam question (i.e., a motivational measure), and mentioned the author's name more often in answering the exam question (i.e., an affective measure). For the visible author, the groups did not differ on any of these measures. These findings provide evidence for the idea that making the author visible through audiovisual TV interviews can eliminate the learning gap between native and non-native language speakers. 3 Universities around the world serve students who are non-native speakers of th
