Comprender el alevismo actual: una investigación de campo en Ankara, Turquía

Anthropology is a discipline that attempts to understand the human condition epistemologically. Concepts such as ethnicity or identity keep framing these studies. Alevism is one of those which is called ethnoreligious. However, Alevism has assumed different meanings according to regions and countries in the historical process. Discussions about what Alevism is have increased, especially in recent years. Different sources feed these discussions. Against the insistence on defining Alevism within the borders determined by the governments in Turkey and the discourse that ignores social diversity in general, Alevism feels the need to return to its resources, especially the historical and sociological studies of Alevi intellectuals, to seek a solution to this identity crisis. On the other hand, the organized Alevi movement, which has achieved various gains in Europe, expresses more confidently their demands for the rights of Alevis in Turkey, and they are also on the agenda in the country from time to time. The participants are Turks who do not have connections with Alevi organizations, do not have access to written sources of Alevism, and whose socialization spaces are usually their village associations in the city. Although their views sometimes show parallelism with the studies that seek the “essence/history” of Alevism, they also create unique ways of conveying the principles and philosophy of their beliefs and diversify their interpretations of Alevism. These interpretations sometimes have features that stretch the boundaries of traditional discourses.

Frente a la insistencia en definir el alevismo dentro de las fronteras determinadas por los gobiernos de Turquía y el discurso que ignora la diversidad social en general, el alevismo siente la necesidad de volver a sus recursos, especialmente a los estudios históricos y sociológicos de los intelectuales alevíes, para buscar una solución a esta crisis de identidad. Por otro lado, el movimiento aleví organizado, que ha logrado varios logros en Europa, expresa con más confianza sus demandas por los derechos de los alevíes en Turquía, y también están en la agenda del país de vez en cuando. Los participantes son turcos que no tienen conexiones con organizaciones alevíes, no tienen acceso a fuentes escritas del alevismo y cuyos espacios de socialización suelen ser sus asociaciones de aldea en la ciudad. Aunque sus puntos de vista a veces muestran paralelismo con los estudios que buscan la “esencia/historia” del alevismo, también crean formas únicas de transmitir los principios y la filosofía de sus creencias y diversifican sus interpretaciones del alevismo. Estas interpretaciones a veces tienen características que amplían los límites de los discursos tradicionales. Keywords: Alevismo; Antropología cultural; Antropología de la religión

Geographical Distribution of Settlements in the Province of Malatya According to Historical Periods

Settlements in this field of study, created from the time period, according to the present day distribution comparisons reasons outlined will be put in place as a chronological in terms of historical geography. People gathered and hunting periods are necessary for the whole year of life lived in the area of nutrients, grows spontaneously begins to produce its own did not find a way. This produced a revolution in human life and the action to this event is known as agriculture. Agriculture as a result of this activity obtained from the products to be consumed at a later time produce must be stored in protected locations. The caves and sheltered places in the existing in nature as most people are made by the housing. Whether single, many want it in terms of geography; place of residence or to create residential communities. Settlements in the field of research Prehistoric Neolithic period, Chalcolitic, Bronze Age period of history with the Hittites, Romans, Byzantines, Seljuk, Ottoman and Republic periods are organized on the basis of data were examined. To ensure easy understanding of issues as a result of research using data obtained by settling distribution maps were made. Days of our previous place, irrespective of the nature of the lists as have been transferred to the map, but to our place and period to be treated as a permanent place in their own are classified. According to this term in place mezra, plateau, and as neighbors, continued to place the district, village, town and city maps are made as they are classified. Executed using this map also placed in the Malatya province and the distribution of the particular geographic factors affecting the distribution has been emphasized

A dermatophyte infection in etiology was detected in a patient 46 years old, who applied to our clinic with erythema annular centrifugal lesions and she was treated antifungal treatment. We considered appropriate offering case to focus on research superficial fungal disease in erythema annular centrifugal etiology

Uzaklık algısı bellek tahminlerini etkiler mi?

Cataloged from PDF version of article.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 50-53).Thesis (M.S.): Bilkent University, Department of Psychology, İhsan Doğramacı Bilkent University, 2016.People predict their future memory performance to be better for the perceptually fluent stimuli than for the disfluent ones. For instance, their memory confidence is higher for the words written in large fonts than small fonts (Rhodes and Castel, 2008). This effect was previously believed to stem from experiential difficulty in encoding of the disfluent stimuli. However, a recent study showed that, one’s beliefs and theories, rather than experiential difficulty, make the major contribution to the effect of perceptual fluency on people’s memory predictions (Mueller, Dunlosky, Tauber and Rhodes, 2014). The close relationship between spatial distance and perceptual fluency increases the likelihood that spatial distance affects people’s memory predictions in the absence of experiential difficulty. The present study investigated the effect of perceived spatial distance on people’s judgments of learning (JOLs) and actual memory performance in two experiments. The perceived spatial distance of stimuli was manipulated by showing the stimuli at either top or bottom positions on a scene with depth perspective. At the same time, the depth cue was expected to produce physical size illusion enabling comparing the effects of perceived spatial distance and perceived size on JOLs. Results revealed no effect of perceived spatial distance or perceived size on JOLs and memory performance when tested with words (Experiment 1) or objects (Experiment 2). The null results for perceived size and JOLs were believed to stem from the size differences within the stimuli.by Esra Elibüyük.M.S

Tarihi Coğrafya Bakımından Önemli Bir Kaynak: Cihannüma

Due to this year is the 400th birthday of Kâtip Çelebi, 2009 was accepted as the year of Kâtip Çelebi by Unesco. In the memory of this, the achievement of Kâtip Çelebi “Cihannüma” has been analysed and introduced at geographical point in this work. There are a lot of researches about Kâtip Çelebi and his life. A few of them are about his geographical achievements. Being known as “Hacı Halife” in the East of the World and “Hacı Kalfa” in the West, Kâtip Çelebi wrote numerous achievements during his life. Some of them is considerably important for historical geography. Kâtip Çelebi examined the geographical achievements written in the East and the West. He understood from them how important geography is and indicated that the places, which can not be gone, can be learnt from geographical achievements. Then he wrote two books called as Cihannüma”. He wrote the first book according to the opinions of the people who consider right. However this book didn’t adapt the geographical views of the West. Therefore between 1650-1655 he wrote the second book. Besides, Kâtip Çelebi emphasised on the importance of the cartography and making map in geography. Accordingly, he specified the necessity of maps in the geography books. For this reason, he translated Mercator Atlas. In 1732 İbrahim Müteferrika published “Cihannüma”, when he saw the importance of this geographical achievement. He added some extra information to this achievement. At the end, Kâtip Çelebi and his achievement “Cihannüma” were known at short notice in the West and the East of the World. Being 762 pages, Cihannüma is an achievement of Regional Geography. It informs about the continents and many of countries of the Wold. There are 38 shapes in this achievement and 25 of them are maps. Seas, continents, islands, rivers, settlements, roads, economical activities are also mentioned in Cihannüma. Kâtip Çelebi offered all of thems by geographical methods, which were not used before. The achievement is completely important for historical geograph

Türkiye Taşkömürü Kurumu’nun Zonguldak İli Ekonomisine Etkisi

Taş kömürü çıkarımı yapan ve yaptıran tek kurum olan Türkiye Taşkömürü Kurumu (TTK), Batı Karadeniz bölgesinde hatta tüm Karadeniz Bölgesi açısından ekonomik anlamda büyük katkılar sağlamıştır. Bu kurumun özellikle Zonguldak ilinin gelişimi açısından belirleyici bir etkisi olmuştur.Kurumda yapılan kömür çıkarımı zorlu süreçlerden geçmektedir. Kurumun işletmeleri, fabrikaları, kuyuları ve lavuarlarının bulunduğu yerler hem şehirsel gelişim alanlarını hem de göçün yönünü tayin etmiştir. Türkiye Taşkömürü Kurumu'na bağlı olarak bölgede birçok sanayi kuruluşu kurulmuş olmakla birlikte ağırlıklı olarak demir-çelik sektörü bölge ekonomisine hakimdir. Kurumda çalışan işçilerin yapmış olduğu diğer faaliyetlerde bile Türkiye Taşkömürü Kurumu'nun önemli etkileri olmuştur. Yapılan tarım, hayvancılık, ormancılık, sanayi ve ticari faaliyetler Türkiye Taşkömürü Kurumu etkisinde kalmakta kurumdaki üretime göre şekillenmektedir. Kamu yatırımlarında da en büyük payın madencilikte olduğu görülmektedir.

ŞANLIURFA İLİ’NDE DÖNEMLİK VE GEÇİCİ BİR YERLEŞME: HOLLİK

With openings on their walls, near to roads and waters and with also appearance different from study area’s dwellings call attention to in the sides of cotton fields which are one of the irrigated agricultural lands in the South-eastern Anatolian Region, especially in the east of Euphrates. During the land surveys done for long and different times we have seen these kinds of dwellings made up of sun-dried bricks, briquettes, rocks, reeds and rushes. The increases in holliks numbers are subject to time and irrigated land expansion, so they have spatially widespread diffusion areas. The dwellings in research area are called as hollik by the people living in them. Same of the holliks stand on the same palace and are used for a long time, some, however, are seasonally moved. Although individually constructed on the sides of fields, holliks have been, recently, seen as side by side units with more than one hollik in the quarter where irrigation is applied. In these respects mentioned above, holliks are typical settlements peculiar to the study area. In addition to cotton holliks, there exist vegetable, peanut, herdsman holliks. Therefore, we have thought it will be appropriate to study the holliks with periodic and temporary settlement properties in Şanlıurfa province. To give precedence to how kinds of settlement units the holliks are, and to introduce them to the scientific world are the aim of this stud
