    Labor as a source of value and capital formation:Ibn Khaldun, Ricardo and Marx – A Comparison

    No full text
    Exclusive writings on the contribution of Ibn Khaldun to economics in the English language have not been many, the references to his work also remain scanty and far between. Even in what little is available mostly authors talk about his views on professions, markets and the cloud he castes on merchants. The present paper avoids treading the familiar tracks. It sees close similarities between the views of Ibn Khaldun (1332 – 1406), David Ricardo (1772 – 1823) and Karl Marx (1818 -I823) in regarding labour as the measure of value and source of capital formation in the course of economics maturing to an academic discipline. The three intellectuals agree, directly or indirectly, that labour creates economic surplus which it does not receive. Even so, the policy implications each derives from this conclusion are interestingly much different. Ibn Khaldun did not -- indeed imbued with Islamic faith he could not – think of workers’ predicament becoming a source of social turmoil. Ricardo implicitly saw labour exploitation in a free enterprise system of organizing production but himself being a great capitalist he could not swallow the pill and once tended to regard cost of production – wages plus profit – as the measure of value. Marx regarded exploitation of labour as the intrinsic vice of capitalism that revolution alone could obliterate.Labor; Capital formation; Value,Ibn Khaldun,Ricardo; Narx

    No full text
    İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti, Osmanlı Devleti'nin son zamanlarında ve Cumhuriyet Dönemi'nin ilk zamanlarında siyasi olarak oldukça etkili olmuştur. Bu cemiyetin sarıklı mebuslarından Hasan Fehmi Tümerkan Meclis-i Mebusan'da ve akabinde TBMM'de yapmış olduğu konuşmalarla, önerilerle ve kanun teklifleriyle ön plana çıkan mebuslardan biri idi. Kendisi, dönemin yenilikçi anlayışını benimseyerek reform taraflısı oldu. Hasan Fehmi Bey eğitimini bitirince İlahiyat Fakültesi'nde müderrislik yapmış ve Sinop Müftülüğü görevini icra etmiştir. İstanbul'un işgalinin ardından ise Malta'ya sürgün edilen isimler arasındadır. Esaret hayatı boyunca kendisini Kur'an'ı Türkçe'ye çevirme işine adamıştır. Böylelikle sadece bir siyasetçi değil; aynı zamanda dini ilimlere katkı sunan bir yazar da olmuştur. Şunu da belirtmek gerekir ki Sinop mebusu ve ardından Kastamonu milletvekili olarak görev yaptığı zamanlarda, kaleme aldığı eserleri ile ilmi ve fikri yönünü ortaya koymuştur.The Committee of Union and Progress (İttihat ve Terakki Cemiyeti) played a pivotal role in the political landscape during the final years of the Ottoman Empire and the early period of the Turkish Republic. Among its notable members was Hasan Fehmi Tümerkan, a turbaned deputy who distinguished himself through his speeches, legislative proposals, and policy suggestions in both the Ottoman Chamber of Deputies (Meclis-i Mebusan) and later in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM). Tümerkan embraced the progressive ideology of the era and was a staunch advocate of reform. Following his education, Hasan Fehmi served as a professor at the Faculty of Theology and later held the position of Mufti of Sinop. After the occupation of Istanbul, he was among those exiled to Malta. During his time in captivity, he dedicated himself to translating the Qur'an into Turkish. In doing so, he emerged not only as a politician but also as an author contributing to Islamic scholarship. It is also worth noting that during his tenure as a deputy representing Sinop and later Kastamonu, he demonstrated his intellectual and scholarly inclinations through the works he authored

    Sustainable development from an Islamic Perspective: meaning implications and policy concerns

    No full text
    Abstract This paper examines the debate on the meaning of sustainable development and the policy implications of different approaches from an Islamic perspective. It integrates mainstream and Islamic positions on the subject and argues that to whatever definition of sustainable development one might subscribe, eventually, each ends in an environmental concern. This paper attempts to show that the continuous increase in output of goods and services worldwide imposes a trade off between material prosperity on the one hand and pollution poisoning of human beings on the other. It engages in the intensifying debate about how the benefits of the former and the negative impact of the latter could be more evenly distributed. The paper takes inspiration from the maqasid (objectives) of the Shari’ah and verses of the holy Qur’an that indicate a way out of this impasse. It holds that the worldview differences of secularism and Islam are the basic reason of divergence between their approaches to development. It argues that the Islamic approach is more agreeable to environmental protection and concludes that issues surrounding sustainable development have moral, ethical, social, and political complexities and that economics or economists alone cannot resolve the problem.Sustainable; Development; Islamic perspective; Policy concerns

    No full text
    In 1829 the distribution of thousands of David Walker's Appeal, a militant anti-slavery pamphlet, written by a black abolitionist, caused much consternation in many American slave states. This thesis is a descriptive study of the political reaction to the pamphlet in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The reactions of the white community and the state and local officials were outrage and subsequent repression; David Walker's pamphlet and the excitement it caused in the slaveholding South is an important chapter in African-American history. The goal of this thesis is to add to the present knowledge about this important document

    Three-Dimensional Compatible Sacrificial Nanoimprint Lithography for Tuning the Wettability of Thermoplastic Materials

    No full text
    We report the tuning of surface wetting through sacrificial nanoimprint lithography (SNIL). In this process, grown ZnO nanomaterials are transferred by imprint into a metallic glass (MG) and an elastomeric material, and then etched to impart controlled surface roughness. This process increases the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of both surfaces, the Pt57.5Cu14.7Ni5.3P22.5 MG and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), respectively. The growth conditions of the ZnO change the characteristic length scale of the roughness, which in turn alters the properties of the patterned surface. The novelty of this approach includes reusability of templates and that it is able to create superhydrophilic and superhydrophobic surfaces in a manner compatible with the fabrication of macroscopic three-dimensional (3D) parts. Because the wettability is achieved by only modifying topography, without using any chemical surface modifiers, the prepared surfaces are relatively more durable.Peer reviewe

    Bridging the Motivation Gap for Individual Annotators: What Can We Learn From Photo Annotation Systems?

    No full text
    The importance of incentives and socially based motivation for metadata generation should not distract attention entirely from the need to design tools for metadata generation that use every means available to maximize the efficiency and intrinsic motivation of the individual annotator. The popular application domain of (individual) photo management has recently given rise to a number of strategies and methods that can serve as a source of inspiration for the design of metadata generation support for the semantic web. This position paper offers a brief synthesis of relevant work that is intended to serve as a basis for the representation of this perspective at the Insemtive 2008 workshop

    Bu çalışmada, İş Bankasındaki görevinden emekli olduktan sonra, 2000?li yılların başından itibaren edebiyat dünyasına adım atan Hasan Eskil?in roman ve hikâyeleri, klasik metin tahlili yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Hasan Eskil kaleme aldığı romanlarda, kendi öz yaşamından veya belgelere dayalı tarih okumalarından yola çıkarak konusunu köy veya tarihten alan eserler kaleme almıştır. Olaylarını merkezî figürlerin etrafında kurgulayan Eskil?in romanları, Köy Enstitüleri bağlamında ortaya çıkan edebiyattan farklı bir yerde konumlanırken, tarihî romanın kurucusu Walter Scott ile ciddi benzerlikler göstermektedir. Heyecan unsuruna yaslanmış metinler kaleme alan yazar, zaman zaman özensiz kurgulanmış cümle yapıları ve karakterlerle karşımıza çıksa da, incelediğimiz metinlerin hepsi sinematografik etkileyicidir. Türk edebiyatına şu ana kadar yedi roman ve bir hikâye kitabı kazandıran yazar, alt metinlerde oluşturduğu sosyal arka planla da dikkat çekmektedir.In this work, novels and stories of Hasan Eskil, who stepped into the field of literature from the beginning of the 21st. Century after his retirement from İş Bankası, are examined through the classical text-analysis method. Hasan Eskil, through his own life experiences or his readings based on the documented history, penned works that base their subjects in history or countryside. While the village novels of Eskil, who constructs incidents around the central figures, are in a different field from the literature that takes its roots from the institution authors; his historical novels have serious similarities to the founder the genre, Walter Scott. Although we sometimes witness the carelessly-constructed sentences and characters of the author that gives priority to excitement elements, all of the narrations are competent in terms of cinematography. The author, who redounded seven novels and a storybook to the Turkish Literature, stands out with the social background that he created in subtexts
