Profiles and Geotechnical Properties for some Basra Soils
No full textBasra province is known for its logistic location for trading activity and oil industry. By geological point of view, Basra areas are believed to consist mainly of alternation of (clay, silty clay, clayey silt, silt and sand) type of soil. Any development of industry in this area should be affected by the occurrence of the clay soil. That is why the investigation to the soil is more than necessary. In this case, a vast testing program was carried out by the author to evaluate the various formations constituting the of some Basra soils. An attempt to characterize and discuss the nature, minerals, engineering behavior and field properties of soil samples extracted from more than one thousand and one hundred boring liner meters of three sites was performed. The average values of various geotechnical design properties are calculated and plotted with depth. A preview of climate, geology, seismicity and earthquakes of the study area was conducted. Finally, the typical soil profiles were prepared

No full textYeryüzünün en kadim toprak parçasından biri olan, günümüzde Irak ve Kuveyt arasına kalan ve İslam tarihi açısından büyük öneme sahip olan kadim “Basra Şehri’nde” insan nefesinin duyulması, şehirleşme ve kültürlerin oluşması çok eski devirlere dayanır. “Basra” deyince akla, Abbâsîler, Timur devleti, Safeviler, Farisiler, Akkoyunlu, Karakoyunlular gelse de aslında bu kadim topraklar, çok daha farklı devlet ve kültürlerin doğuşuna beşiklik etmiş pek çok kavme yurt olmuştur. Mesela: Milattan önce Asurlulara ve Irak'ın el-Hilla kasabasına yerleşen Babillilere ve daha pek çok uygarlıklara beşik olmuştur.
Basra Şehrinin, İslam tarihi açısından önemi ise, kuruluş hikâyesi ile başlar: İslam dinin Peygamberi Hz. Muhammed’in (s.a.v) övgüsüne mazhar olmuş şehir. Hz Ömer’in, Utbe bin Gazvan’ı görevlendirerek kurdurduğu kutlu şehirdir. Basra, o günden sonra ilimin, edebiyatın merkezi olmuş Mekke ve Medine’deki “Ukaz Panayırının” muadili olan “Mirbed panayırları” Basra’da kurulmuştur. Sadece panayır değil çeşitli edebiyat eserlerinin neşvü-nema bulduğu, pek çok şairin durağı haline gelen Basra, ‘İslam düşünce tarihi’ açısından da büyük öneme haizdir: “Deve Olayı; Zenci olayı” gibi tarih üzerinde etki bırakan pek çok vaka bu topraklarda cereyan etmiştir. Bu topraklar, tarihin akışına yön veren savaşlara, bilim-ilim dünyasına yön veren fikri akımlara, İslam dünyasının hukuk kaidelerini ortaya koyan pek çok fukahaya, mezhepler tarihi açısından başat rol oynayan isimlere, memleket olmuştur. İnsanlık tarihi ve İslam tarihi açısından önemli olan bu şehri, Abdülkadir Baş Ayân el-Abbâsî , “el-Baṣra fî-Edvârih’t-Târîḫiyye” ismini verdiği bu kitabında: Kuruluşundan Osmanlı dönemine kadar Basra’nın tarihi devirlerini anlatmıştır. Bu kadim toprakların şahit olduğu kültürü/harsı bir edebiyatçı naifliği ile bedii şekilde anlatan Abdulkadir Baş Âyân El-Abbâsî ve Abbasi ailesi Basra için yaptıkları hizmetler açısından ayrı bir önem taşımaktadır.
Bu çalışmada, Abdulkadir Baş Âyân el-Abbâsî’nin, “el-Baṣra fî-Edvârih’t-Târîḫiyye” kitabının Arapçadan Türkçeye çevirisi ve müellifinin hayatına dair yapılan araştırmalar mahfuz olup sadece “Basra tarihi” değil, Irak’tan, dünyanın pek çok ülkesine yayılan “Baş Âyân el-Abbâsî” ailesi tanıtılmıştır. Abdulkadir Baş Âyân el-Abbâsî’nin hayatı ve Basra’ya yaptığı hizmetler, bıraktığı eserler, Basra için yaptığı hizmetler anlatılmıştır.One of the most ancient pieces of land on earth, “the City of Basra”, which is now between Iraq and Kuwait, is considered in terms of Islamic history, but in fact, it is based on the hearing of human breath, urbanization and the formation of cultures in these ancient lands goes back much further. Although the Abbasi state, the state of Timur, Safavi, Akkoyunlu and Karakoyunlu states come to mind when “Basra” is mentioned, in fact, these ancient lands have been the cradle of many different nations and cultures. For instance: BC (Before Christ), It was the homeland of the Assyrians and the Babylonians who settled in town of El-Hilla in Iraq.
The importance of the City of Basra in terms of view of Islamic history begins with the story of its foundation: Prophet of Islam religion Hz. Muhammad (May Allah’s blessings and Peace be upon him) to Hazrat Omar: “he advised him to establish a settlement/ homeland here” Upon this, Hz. Omar set the foundations of Basra. Basra became the center of science and literature after that day and the “Mirbed fairs”, the equivalent of the “Ukaz fair” in Mecca and Medina, were established in Basra. Basra, where not only a fair but also a variety of literary works, became the stop of many poets, It is also of great importance in terms of the 'history of Islamic thought': Many events that shape history such as “The Camel Incident; Negro incident”, have taken place in these lands. These lands are the wars that guide the flow of history, the intellectual currents that guide the world of science, It has become a hometown and homeland for many fuqaha (islamic lawyer) who revealed the legal principles of the Islamic world, and for the names who played a leading role in the history of sects. This city, which is important in terms of human history and Islamic history, Abdulkādir Baş’ayân el-Abbâsî, in his book named “al-Baṣra fî-tevârih’t-târîḫiyyah”: He has described the Historical periods of Basra from its foundation to the Ottoman period. The Abdulkādir Baş’ayân el-Abbâsî family, who describes the culture witnessed by these ancient lands in the best way with the delicacy of a literary writer, is of particular importance in terms of their services.

In particular, the life of the Author Abdulkādir Baş’ayân el-Abbâsî and his services to Basra, the works he left, his lineage and his services for Iraq, especially Basra, are explained
Speech critics between Basra and Qufa echoles within the framework of İ'tilâfu'n-Nusra of Ez-Zebîdî
No full textİslâmî fetihler sonucu günlük konuşma dilinde "lahn"ın ortaya çıkması üzerine dönemin âlimleri Arap dilini lahn tahribatından kurtarmak için çeşitli çalışmalar içerisine girmişlerdir. Bu amaca yönelik olarak ilk gramer çalışmaları önce Basra'da başlatılmış, sonrasında ise Kûfe'de devam ettirilmiştir. Arap dili daha çok bu iki merkez tarafından şekillendirilmiş, neticede gramer konusunda iki farklı ekol ortaya çıkmıştır. Bazı nahiv meselelerinde farklı görüşlere sahip olan ve farklı ıstılahlar geliştiren Basra ve Kûfe dil ekolleri temel gramer kurallarının ve nahiv ıstılahlarının oluşturulmasında önemli rol oynamışlardır. ez-Zebîdî'nin İ'tilâfu'n-nusra adlı eserini merkeze alan bu çalışma temelde Basra ve Kûfe dil ekolleri arasında ihtilâf arz eden nahiv konularını mukayeseli bir şekilde değerlendirmeye tabi tutmayı ve müellifin söz konusu hususlarla ilgili görüşlerini yansıtmayı amaçlamaktadır. Eserin dilbilimsel açısından incelenmesi Basra ve Kûfe dil ekollerinin kullanmış oldukları terminolojiyi bilme, takip ettikleri metodolojiyi ve sahip oldukları görüşleri anlama açısından önem arz etmektedir. Bu araştırma giriş, üç bölüm ve sonuçtan ibarettir. Giriş kısmında çalışmanın konusu, önemi, amacı, yöntemi, sınırlandırılması ve kaynakları hakkında bilgi verilmiştir. Birinci bölümde nahvin anlamı, konusu, isimlendirilmesi konusundaki rivayetler, gramer ekolleri ve önde gelen temsilcileri gibi çalışmayla direk ilintili hususlar değerlendirmeye tabi tutulmuştur. İkinci bölümde müellifin hayatı ve eserinde izlemiş olduğu üsluba değinilmiştir. Üçüncü bölümde ise nahiv konusunda Basra ve Kûfe dil ekolleri arasındaki ihtilâflı meseleler izah edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Sonuç bölümünde ise ele alınan konularla ilgili kısa bir değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Anahtar kelimeler: Nahiv, Lahn, ez-Zebîdî, Hilâf, Basra, Kûfe, Bağdat, Endülüs ve Mısır Dil Ekolleri.As a result of the Islamic conquests and the use of "Lahn" afterwards, the muslim scholars began to struggle against the harms of lahn inside the Arabic language. For this purpose, the first grammar studies were performed in Basra and continued in Qufa respectively. The Arabic language was shaped mostly by these two centres. This led to two basic and original echoles which had their own ideas. These echoles had different views in some speech critics and developed different solutions. The Basra and Qufa echoles played important roles to create grammar rules and speech critics. The main target of this work is to compare the controversial matters between Basra and Qufa language echoles on the speech topics taking the İ'tilâfu'n-nusra of ez-Zebîdî into the centre and to reflect the author's view about the relevant matters. The examine of the work in grammar point of view is of great importance to get to know the terminology that Basra and Qufa language echoles used, the methodology they followed and to understand their views. This study covers an entry, three chapters and conclusion. In the entry part, the selection the topic of the work, the aim, methods, sources and its importance are given. In the first chapter, the meaning of speech, its subject, rumours about its name, grammar echoles and their leading actors are explained. In the second part, the life of the author and the method he followed in the work is given. And in the third part, the controversial matters between Basra and Qufa language echoles on speech tried to be explained. In the conclusion part, a short evaluation is done about the issues examined. Keywords: Syntax, Grammatical Error, ez-Zebîdî, Opposite, Basra, Qufa, Baghdad, Andalus and Egypt language Echoles
Terrorism and drugs in Europe. Background paper commissioned by the EMCDDA for the EU drug markets report 2019.
No full textDespite much speculation and conjecture over potential crossovers between terrorists and the drug trade in Europe, no study has examined the issue. This paper fills this gap by empirically examining such crossovers in the European Union between 2012 and 2017. Based on a unique open- source database, two main themes emerge. Firstly, the only area with deep and sustained crossovers is Northern Ireland, where Republican and Loyalist paramilitaries have sought to influence or control the drug trade. The consequences are threefold: conflict with “regular” criminals; internal divisions within paramilitaries; and the potential alienation of the very communities they claim to represent. Secondly, many European jihadists have backgrounds in consuming or dealing drugs, and their radicalisation does not always change this behaviour. Indeed, of the 69 jihadists who carried out an attack in Europe between 2012 and 2017, there is evidence that at least 5 individuals (7% of the total) consumed illicit drugs in the days or hours prior to their attack. This suggests that extremists do not automatically break from familiar, habitual, and possibly addictive patterns, and that radicalisation is no guarantee of an absolute, abrupt, and permanent change in lifestyle
Rus İmparatorluğu'nun Basra Körfezi Politikasının Teşekkülü
No full textThis article deals with the Russian Empire's first political and commercial contacts in the Persian Gulf and its relations in the region. Based on the analysis of documents compiled from the Russian Empire Foreign Policy Archive (AVPRI), the study reveals the role of the Imperial consulates in Baghdad and Basra in establishing mutually beneficial contacts between representatives of the commercial and industrial circles of the Russian Empire and the Arab markets in the region. It pays particular attention to the British policy opposing the initiatives of the Russian structures. The author finds the difficulty that prevented the success of the Russian plans in the region not related to the geographical remoteness but to the necessity of keeping friendly relations with Great Britain. At the same time, the growing Russian presence and military demonstrations between the last quarter of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century paved the way for the change in the political balance of powers. They contributed to formalizing the Russian-British agreement of 1907 for the legal division of “spheres of influence” in the East. © 2021 Chulalongkorn University. All rights reserved

More Than Bargaining Chips:How Jabhat Al-Nusra and Islamic State Kidnapped and Used Hostages in Lebanon
No full textThis paper presents an empirical examination of the Arsal hostage crisis in Lebanon, when Jabhat Al-Nusra and Islamic State kidnapped over 35 soldiers and police officers in 2014. Following interviews with 30 hostages’ families and analysis of the jihadists’ propaganda, three themes emerge. First, the hostage-taking had intrinsic emotional value for the jihadists and was not only a means to secure extrinsic concessions. Second, the crisis was often shaped by local, micro-level factors that guided how and when violence was used against hostages. Third, the jihadists coerced the captives’ families, leveraging them against the Lebanese State and local communities
