The life-works and art of Mustafa Balel
No full textMustafa Balel (1945- ) 1972'de Yeni Ortam'da başlayıp günümüze uzanan yazarlık hayatında toplumsal gerçekleri konu etmesi ve ayrıntıları sivriltmesi ile döneminin yazarlarından ayrılır. Sanat hayatı boyunca başta öykü olmak üzere roman, anlatı, gezi yazısı ve çocuk edebiyatı alanlarında eserler vermiştir. Balel, toplumdaki yapıyı eserlerinde okura sunmuştur. Bu bağlamda yazar, Türk toplumunun sanıldığı gibi ataerkil değil anaerkil bir yapıda olduğu görüşünü savunmaktadır. Bu durum eserlerinde baskın kadın tiplerini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Yazarlık hayatı boyunca hiçbir zaman realizmden kopmayan Balel, yaşamın kendisini eserlerine taşımıştır. Bunu yaparken de gerçekleri olduğu gibi söyleyen çocuk anlatıcılardan yararlanmıştır. Toplumdaki sosyoekonomik yapıya dayanan sınıf ayrımını eserlerinde vurgulayan yazar, toplumsal gerçekçi bir çizgiye sahiptir. Daha çok aile, şiddet, kadın hâkimiyeti, yalnızlık ve göç temalarını konu etmiştir. Ele aldığı toplumsal konulara paralel olarak dilde de halktan kopuk bir tutum izlemeyen Balel, daha çok halkın yöresel söyleminde yer edinen deyim ve atasözlerinden faydalanmıştır. Bu karakteristik özellikleri farklı edebî türlerde kaleme aldığı eserlerinin tamamında görülür.Mustafa Balel (1945- ) whose career as a novelist started with Yeni Ortam (New Circumstances) in 1972 and pursued up to now is distinguished from his contemporaries as depicted social realities and sharpened details. During his art career, he produced novels, stories, narration, itineraries and works in children?s literature. Balel has presented the social structure to readers. In this context, the author argues that Turkish society is not a patriarchal as supposed but matriarchal. This case has lead to dominant women characters in his works. Balel, who have always stuck to realism, reflected his own life in his works. While doing this, he made use of children narrators who tell the truth as it is. The author who emphasizes social stratification in his works which is based on socioeconomic structure follows a social realistic line. In his works, he mostly treated family, violence, women dominancy, loneliness and immigration. In parallel with social issues he handled, Balel used idioms and proverbs established in people?s local language and thus did not have a language style different from people. This characteristic is seen in all his works in different literature genres
Pakistan’s Agricultural Development since Independence: Intertemporal Trends and Explanations
Full text linkThe main objective of this paper has been to review Pakistan’s historical experience in agricultural development in terms of growth, income distribution, and rural poverty. While the long-term growth rates between 1949-50 and 1994-95 were satisfactory, the variations around the average have been rather too large over the various decades. Beginning with a stagnating sector of the 1950s, agriculture witnessed record growth rates during the Sixties. This was followed by the lowest growth rates of the early Seventies, and acceleration in the second half of the Seventies. The experience since 1979-80 has been mixed, but the growth rates have been rather low through the Eighties and the Nineties. The trends in income distribution and poverty varied directly in relation to the agricultural growth rates, especially when they were in excess of the threshold level of 4.5–5.0 percent per annum. In general, a growth rate of 5.0 percent or higher has induced positive changes in income distribution and poverty. In view of this positive association, the pursuit of a high growth policy in agriculture should guide Pakistan’s future development strategy. The efficiency of resource use, a greater dependence on modern technologies, and a minimisation of government intervention in the market mechanism are the essential pillars of the high growth strategy.
The use of interactional metadiscourse : a comparison of articles on Turkish education and literature
Full text linkThis study aims to determine the use of interactional metadiscourse in articles from the domains of Turkish language and literature. The study employed a descriptive research model to examine 20 articles from the Mustafa Kemal University Journal of Social Sciences Institute (all articles were published between 2010 and 2015 and each has only a single author). Of these randomly selected articles, 10 were on Turkish language education and 10 were concerned with Turkish literature. Hyland and Tse's metadiscourse model was adopted to examine markers of interactional metadiscourse in all fundamental parts of these articles. For the evaluation of the obtained data, the content analysis technique and the Mann-Whitney U test were used to determine whether the interactional metadiscourse demonstrates any significant differences regarding the domains of Turkish language education and literature. Experts were consulted to ensure the reliability of the research. As a result, this study revealed that there is more use of interactional metadiscourse markers in the field of Turkish language education than in the field of literature, and this difference is significant, according to the Mann-Whitney U test. Further, it was found that hedges and boosters demonstrate a significant difference in studies on Turkish language education and literature; however, no significant difference in the uses of attitude markers, engagement markers, and self-mentions was observed.This study aims to determine the use of interactional metadiscourse in articles from the domains of Turkish language and literature.

Evaluation of dominant allelopathic weed through examining the allelopathic effects of four weeds on germination and seedling growth of six crops
No full textLeaf aqueous extracts were used to examine the allelopathic effects of Melilotus indica, Medicago polymorpha, Elusine indica and Fumaria indica at four concentrations (10, 20, 30 and 40% W/V) on germination percentage, radicle and hypocotyl growth of six crops, namely Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare, Medicago sativa, Trifolium spp., Raphanus sativus and Trigonella foenum-graecum. All weed extracts showed pronounced inhibitory effect on germination and seedling growth of tested crops, however inhibition was not consistent over studied parameters. Weeds exerted different allelopathic effects on test crops. Fumaria indica exhibited a significant negative effect on germination of all tested species at 20, 30 and 40% aqueous extracts, followed by Elusine indica and Medicago polymorpha, and Melilotus indica at 10% concentration level. Melilotus indica halted the hypocotyl growth of tested crops at 10 and 20% aqueous extracts, followed by F. indica at 30 and 40% dosage. Radicle growth of all recipient species was also stunted under the aqueous extract of M. indica at 20, 30 and 40%, followed by Medicago polymorpha except 10% concentration. Elusine indica showed negative effects on hypocotyl growth at higher concentrations as compared to Medicago polymorpha, whereas radicle growth was not affected under different aqueous extracts of E. indica. Leaf debris method was used in greenhouse to further authenticate the allelopathic effects of dominant allelopathic weed viz., Melilotus indica at four concentrations (0, 25, 50 and 75 g per 300 g of soil) on germination percentage, shoot and root length of four crops, namely Medicago sativa, Trifolium spp., Hordeum vulgare and Triticum aestivum. Powdered leaf debris of M. indica mixed with clay loam soil appeared to have strong allelopathic inhibition under higher concentrations on germination and shoot growth of Medicago sativa and Trifolium spp. as compared to Hordeum vulgare and Triticum aestivum, whereas inhibitory effects were more pronounced on Trifolium spp. and Triticum aestivum, in terms of their root length. Hence, M. indica proved a strong allelopathic weed that should be removed from field to avoid harmful effects during early growth stages of tested crops. Moreover, it is recommended that all these species be phytochemically examined for their allelopathic potential and possible development of environmental safe bio-herbicides to control weeds
