Nondestructive evaluation of residual stresses in nanostructured coatings by synchotron radiation:
No full textThis thesis presents a strain mapping in nanostructure Al2O3/TiO2 ceramic coatings on metallic Titanium substrates by synchrotron radiation. The mapping is obtained under various boundary conditions (tension/compression loads, four-point bending, etc.) and is accomplished using high energy (deeply penetrating) synchrotron white radiation with photon energies up to 200 keV to perform high precision x-ray diffraction on small volumes (1 µm to a few cm), which are then integrated into high resolution 3D maps of the strain fields. Strain mapping in conventional micro-size ceramic coatings are performed for comparison. The underlining structural and functional parameters in processing of these coatings, which result in dramatic improvements in their performance, are discussed. The thesis also presents mechanical properties such as elastic modulus, yield strength, etc., which are deduced from energy dispersive X-ray diffraction (EDXRD) strain mapping in conjunction with modeling.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Nazia Ikram Ahmed

In Northern Iraq di̇lemma growns of Shia and Sunni religious groups and movements (Sample of İslamic group)
No full textÖZET Bu çalışmada Kuzey Irak’ta faaliyet gösteren Komeleyi İslami grubu araştırma konusu olarak seçilmiştir. Hareketin doğduğu bölgede olmaları hem de daha önce birlikte hareket ettiği veya etkilendiği diğer İslami guruplar da araştırma konusuna dâhil edilmiştir. Kuzey Irak bölgesindeki mevcut İslami hareketler bu paralelde değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. Komeleyi İslami ve diğer İslami hareketler geliştikleri sosyal, kültürel, tarihi ve siyasi şartlar göz önüne alınarak değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu çerçevede Kuzey Irak tarihi ve coğrafi şartları göz önünde bulundurularak anlaşılmaya gayret edilmiştir. Bu bölge geçiş bölgesi olma özelliğinden dolayı hem İslam öncesi hem de İslam sonrası dönemde gelişen sosyal, kültürel ve siyasal değişmelerin alanı olarak tezahür etmiştir. İslami dönemde ise tarihi süreç içerisinde heterodoks mezhepler, Şia ve Sünnilik bu bölgede seyir halinde olmuşlardır. Geçiş bölgesi ve çeşitli din ve mezheplerin karşılaşma alanı olarak Kuzey Irak, bugün itibariyle ana damar olarak Sünniliğin hâkim güç olarak karşımıza çıkmasıyla tezahür ettiğinden, Sünniliğin incelenen Komeleyi İslam’a ve bölgedeki diğer İslami hareketlere etkisi araştırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma bu kavramsal çerçeve içerisinde yürütülmüştür. İslami dönem araştırmanın ana gövdesidir. Bölgede yaşayan Kürtler, Türkmenler ve Araplar bu hareketlerin doğduğu bölgenin unsurları olmaları hasebiyle inceleme konusu içerisinde değerlendirilmiştir. Yine çalışmamızda Komeleyi İslam’ın lideri ve kurucusu olan Ali Bapir üzerinde durulmuştur. Hareketin doğmasında ve bugünlere gelmesinde Ali Bapir portresi ön plana çıkmaktadır. Dolayısıyla hareketin en son lideri konumunda olan bu şahıs üzerinden yapılan analizler de önem taşımaktadır.

Due to the facts that they are originated in the same hinterland and that they have once worked together or at least have been influenced, the rest of the Islamic movements have also been included into the research. Existed Islamic movements in the northern Iraq have been considered in this line. By taking social, cultural, historical and political conditions in which they have evolved into consideration, the research have sought to be examined the Komaleyi Islami and other Islamic movements. Under these circumstances, particularly the northern Iraq has been analysed together with its historical and geographic conditions. This region has emerged, since being a trans- region, as a field of social, cultural and political transformations in both pre and post- Islamic ages. Throughout the Islamic age, heterodox denominations, Shia and Sunni have been valid variations. Because of that, as a trans-region and a place in which various religions and denominations has been encountered, the northern Iraq has emerged as where Sunni sectarians have been prevailing it has been examined that to what extend Sunnism has influenced on the Komaleyi Islami and other Islamic movements. The research field has been operated within this conceptual framework. Islamic age is fundamental point of the research. Since Kurds, Turcoman and Arabs are ethnic subjects of the region; they are also included and considered into the research. In the research, Ali Beqir, himself, the founder and leader of the Komeleyi Islami, consists of substantial part. It is being talked of him by shedding lights on his charismatic leader portrait affecting the emergence and evolution of the movement. Key Words: Komeleyi Islami, Shia, Sunnism, Northern Iraq, Charismatic Leade
Perceptions of secular and Islamist actors on İslam in the context of political parties (Example of Iraqi Kurdish region)
No full textBu araştırmada Irak Kürt Bölgesi'nde faaliyet yürüten seküler ve İslamcı aktörler ele alınmaktadır. Söz konusu aktörler bağlamında yürütülen araştırma nitel bir çalışmadır. Bu nedenle araştırma boyunca mülakatlar yapılmış, birincil veri kaynakları olarak belgeler tedarik edilerek incelenmiş ve sanal etnografya kapsamında yazılı ve görsel internet kaynakları taranmış ve indirilerek arşivlenmiştir. Farklı ontolojik zeminlere sahip oldukları düşünülen seküler ve İslamcı aktörler, Kürt bölgesinde yaşanan toplumsal, siyasal, kültürel değişim ve dönüşümler üzerinde etkili olmuştur. Tarafların kimi zaman çatışmalı kimi zaman da uzlaşmaya dayalı bir zeminde bir araya geldikleri görülmüştür. Dini ve etnik kimliğin yeniden inşa edilmesi sürecinde ontolojik farklılık, merkezi bir yer edinerek tezahür etmiştir. Bununla birlikte söz konusu ontolojik farklılık melez kimliklerin ortaya çıkmasına da engel olamamıştır. Kürt kimliğinin şekillenmesinde rol oynayan seküler ve İslamcı aktörlerin ulusal bilinç etrafında yakınlaştıkları fakat dini kimlik söz konusu olduğunda ayrıştıkları gözlemlenmiştir. Bu çerçevede araştırma melez kimliklerin ortaya çıkma süreçlerinde yaşanan dönüşümleri keşfedebilmeyi amaçlamıştır. Çalışmanın kategorik çerçevesini Irak Kürtleri bağlamında Kürt sekülerizmi ve Kürt İslamcılığı oluşturmaktadır. Söz konusu aktörler siyasal partiler olarak faaliyetlerini yürüttüklerinden toplumsal tezahürleri belirgindir. Bu durum araştırmanın aktörleri ile ilgili kaynaklara ulaşılabilmesine imkân tanımıştır.
In this study, secular and Islamist actors operating in the Iraqi Kurdish region are addressed. The research regarding to mentioned actors is a qualitative study. Because of that, interviews are conducted, official documents as primary sources are obtained and examined and visual and written internet sources are scanned, downloaded and archived as virtual ethnographic method. Secular and Islamist actors which are considered having distinctive ontological ground have been influential on social, cultural changes and evolutions in the Kurdish region. It is seen that these actors have intercepted sometimes in conflicts and sometimes in compromise. In the process of reconstruction of religious and ethnic identities, ontological distinction reveals as core matter. However, such an ontological distinction could not prevent the emergence of hybrid identities. It is observed that, being quite influential on formation of Kurdish ethnic identity, secular and Islamist actors come close on the theme of national conscience but differentiate each other on the theme of religious identity. In this regard, the research aims to discover changes and evolutions occurring in the process of emerging hybrid identities. Kurdish secularism and Kurdish Islamism are composing categorical framework of the research in the context of Iraqi Kurds. As these actors are functioning as political parties in the region, it can be argued that their social appearance is clear and sound and this made related documents of the actors accessible
Italy
No full textIn January 1831, the Parisian printer Firmin Didot published a Manifesto announcing the imminent publication of the Egyptian and Nubian monuments by Jean-François Champollion and Ippolito Rosellini, based on the notes and images made during the 1828–29 Franco-Tuscan expedition (see p. 22). It contained a description of the work, equally divided between the French and the Italians, to be organised in three parts, to include albums of plates and volumes of texts in French and Italian, and to be issued in a series of fascicles. The death of Champollion in 1832, and subsequent conflicts between his brother Champollion-Figeac and Rosellini, stymied the joint project. Rosellini thus published his Monumenti dell’Egitto e della Nubia alone, in the face of many financial and interpersonal problems, between 1832 and his untimely death in 1843. The ninth and last volume of text and the third and last volume of plates, already prepared by the author, were posthumously published in 1844. This monumental work, presenting an extraordinary quantity of textual, archaeological and visual material, has been fundamental for the development of Egyptology in the Italian peninsula. Almost all the important Italian libraries subscribed to its fascicles, as attested by letters that Rosellini himself wrote to librarians and scholars all over Italy, asking them to sign the subscription Manifesto or informing them about the plans for the publication
Seizing the Opportunity: Dynamics of the Salafi-Wahabi Movement in Turkey
No full textBeing a secular state after centuries under the Islamic sultanate of the Ottoman Empire, Turkey has been challenged by various internal political turmoil and controversies over religion and its relation to the state. As such, fierce debate has become unavoidable for Islamist and revivalist groups that feel discriminated against for practicing Islam in public spaces. This article discusses Salafism and Wahabism in contemporary Turkey, starting from its inception to its da'wah and development strategies in society. The article used a qualitative approach with a literature review. The data was collected from secondary sources, including research results by scholars and various pieces of information in the mass media that emerged during the era of Recep Tayyip Erdogan until 2022. This article scrutinizes (1) the history of the resurgence of Salafism and Wahabism in Turkey due to the influence of the social and political situation; (2) pro-Islamic political policies in the government providing an opportunity for Salafi and Wahabi to develop in Turkey; and (3) the form and strategy of a pro-active and non-confrontational Salafi group in Turkey. This third part is very urgent for this article because it relates to secular Turkey's social, political, and cultural contexts
