Yanyatır Ocaklı Tahtacı Alevilerinde Sazandarlık Geleneği: Sazandar İsmail Gacar Örneği

Die Ocaks stellen die zentrale Institution des alevitischen Glaubenssystems dar. Das Alevitentum existiert bis heute in einem großen geografischen Gebiet von Anatolien bis zum Balkan fort. Das alevitische Glaubenssystem weist je nach Ocak und Region unterschiedliche Merkmale auf, verfügt dabei aber insgesamt über ein breites Spektrum an Ritualen. Gemeinschaften, die einem Ocak angehören, tragen in der Regel den Namen des charismatischen Glaubensführers, der diesen gegründet hat. Bei den Tahtacı-Aleviten, die in diesem Artikel behandelt werden, handelt es sich hingegen um eine nach ihrem Beruf benannte Gruppe.Die alevitische Gemeinschaft der Tahtacıs wanderte im Laufe der Geschichte samt alter türkischer Glaubensvorstellungen und Kulturmerkmale aus Chorasan nach Anatolien ein. Heute leben die Tahtacı in der Mittelmeer-, Ägäis- und Marmararegion. Als Nomadenstamm war die Gemeinschaft mit der Holzverarbeitung beschäftigt, woher sie den Namen Tahtacı („Holzarbeiter“) bezog. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde der Name Tahtacı zum Namen einer Glaubensgemeinschaft. Die Tahtacı-Aleviten sind wie andere alevitische Gemeinschaften um Ocaks herum organisiert. Sie gehören zwei Ocaks an. Dies sind zum einen der Yanyatır-Ocak, dessen charismatischer Glaubensführer Durhasan Dede ist, und zum anderen der Hacı-Emirli-Ocak, dessen charismatischer Glaubensführer İbrahim Sani ist. Das Zentrum des Yanyatır-Ocaks ist das Dorf Durhasan in Ceyhan, Adana, während sich das Zentrum des Hacı Emirli-Ocaks im Dorf Kabaklar in Islahiye, Gaziantep, befindet. Die Tahtacıs sind eine der Gemeinschaften, bei denen eine nach außen hin geschlossene Struktur besonders ausgeprägt ist. Dadurch ist es ihnen gelungen, diese Struktur samt ihrer unterschiedlichen Rituale und Lebensstile bis in die letzten fünfzig Jahre am Leben zu erhalten und weiterzugeben.In diesem Artikel soll am Beispiel Ismail Gacars der Sazandar-Dienst (d.h., das Spielen der Langhalslaute während des Cem-Gottesdienstes) untersucht werden, der als einer der zwölf Dienste im alevitischen Glaubenssystem für das Überleben und die Weitergabe des kollektiven Gedächtnisses des Tahtacı-Alevitentums sorgt. Um ein besseres Verständnis der Thematik zu ermöglichen, wird zunächst die um den Ocak herum organisierte Struktur des alevitischen Glaubenssystems dargestellt, bevor der Sazandar-Dienst bei den Tahtacı-Aleviten im Kontext ihrer Ocaks und der in diesen vollzogenen Dienste und Cem-Gottesdienste erläutert wird. Der Artikel stützt sich dabei auf die Cem-Gottesdienste, Dienste und den Sazandar-Dienst im Yanyatır-Ocak, in dem İsmail Gacar als Sazandar diente.The Alevi belief system is institutionalized around ocak. The belief system has continued to exist, and still exist through ocaks in a very large region from Anatolia to the Balkans. The Alevi belief system, which differs according to ocaks and regions, has a rich ritual system. The communities affiliated to ocaks are generally named after religious leader, founder of the ocak. Tahtaci Alevis, who are the subject of our study, appear as group named after their profession. The Tahtacis are an Alevi community that migrated from Khorasan to Anatolia through history, brought along the old Turkish beliefs and culture, and lives in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara regions today. Due to their engagement with woodwork in nomadic lifestyle, they were called Tahtaci. Over time, this name has become the name of a belief community. As other Alevi groups, Tahtaci Alevis are also ocak centred. They are affiliated with two ocaks. One of them is the Yanyatir Ocak whose religious leader is Durhasan Dede, and the other one is the Haci Emirli Ocak, whose religious leader is Ibrahim Sani. The centre of the Yanyatir Ocak is in the Ceyhan village in Adana, and the centre of the Haci Emirli Ocak is located in Islahiye Kabaklar village in Gaziantep. The Tahtaci Alevi community is one of the main groups that keep the closed society structure alive in the strongest way. Tahtacis have managed to sustain and pass on the diversity of their ritual system and their lifestyle through the closed society structure until the last fifty years. Using the example of Ismail Gacar, this study will try to analyse the service of sazandar, which is one of the twelve services within the belief system that enables the survival and transmission of the Tahtaci Alevis’ sacred memory. For better understanding of the subject, first of all, the ocak-centred structure of the Alevi belief system will be explained, and then the service of sazandar among Tahtaci Alevis will be discussed in the context of the ocaks of Tahtaci Alevis, the services and cem rituals performed in these ocaks. The basis of the study will be cem rituals, services and the service of sazandar performed in the Yanyatir Ocak where Ismail Gacar serves as a sazandar.Alevi inanç sistemi ocak merkezli kurumsallaşmıştır. İnanç sistemi, Anadolu’dan Balkanlara kadar çok geniş bir coğrafyada ocaklarla varlığını sürdürmüştür ve sürdürmeye devam etmektedir. Ocaklara ve yörelere göre farklılıklar gösteren Alevi inanç sistemi, zengin bir ritüel evrenine sahiptir. Ocaklara bağlı topluluklar genel anlamda ocağın kurucu karizmatik inanç önderinin adı ile adlandırılır. Çalışmamıza konu olan Tahtacı Alevileri, yaptıkları meslek ile adlandırılmış bir zümre olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır.Tahtacılar tarihsel süreç içerisinde Horasan’dan Anadolu’ya göç eden, eski Türk inançlarını ve kültürünü beraberinde getiren ve günümüzde Akdeniz, Ege ve Marmara bölgelerinde yaşayan Alevi topluluğudur. Tahtacı ismini konargöçer yaşam tarzında ağaç işçiliği ile uğraşmaları sebebiyle almışlardır. Zaman içinde Tahtacı adlandırması bir inanç toplumunun adı haline gelmiştir. Tahtacı Alevileri diğer Alevi zümrelerinde olduğu gibi ocak merkezli yapılanır. Tahtacı Alevilerinin bağlı olduğu iki ocak vardır. Bunlardan birincisi karizmatik inanç önderinin Durhasan Dede olduğu Yanyatır Ocağı, ikincisi ise karizmatik inanç önderi İbrahim Sani olan Hacı Emirli Ocağı’dır. Yanyatır Ocağı’nın merkezi Adana Ceyhan Durhasan köyü, Hacı Emirli Ocağı’nın merkezi ise Gaziantep Islahiye Kabaklar köyüdür.Tahtacı Alevi toplumu, kapalı toplum yapısını en güçlü şekilde yaşatan zümrelerin başında gelmektedir. Tahtacılar, ritüel evrenlerinin farklılığı ve yaşam biçimleri ile kapalı toplum yapısını son elli yıla kadar canlı bir şekilde yaşatmayı ve aktarmayı başarmıştır. Bu makalede, Tahtacı Aleviliğine ait kutsal belleğin yaşamasını ve aktarılmasını sağlayan, inanç sistemi içerisinde on iki hizmetten biri olan sazandarlık hizmeti, İsmail Gacar örneklemi ile incelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Konunun daha iyi anlaşılması açısından öncelikle Alevi inanç sisteminin ocak merkezli yapılanmasının üzerinde durulacak daha sonra Tahtacı Alevi ocakları ve bu ocaklarda gerçekleştirilen hizmetler ve cem ritüelleri bağlamında Tahtacı Alevilerinde sazandarlık hizmeti açıklanacaktır. Makalede İsmail Gacar’ın sazandarlık hizmeti yaptığı Yanyatır Ocağında gerçekleştirilen cem ritüelleri, hizmetler ve sazandarlık hizmeti temel alınacaktır

Effects of chronic low- and high-dose ethanol intake on the nitrergic relaxations of corpus cavernosum and penile nitric oxide synthase in the rabbit

Epidemiological evidence showed that chronic ethanol consumption is a major risk factor in the development of impotence. The present study investigated the effects of carbachol-, electrical field stimulation (EFS)-, sodium nitroprusside (SNP)- and papaverine-induced relaxant responses in the isolated corpus cavernosum tissues from rabbits submitted to an 12-week course of chronic low (5% v/v) or high ethanol intake (30% v/v). Increased carbachol- and EFS-induced relaxant responses but not SNP and papaverine, were observed in low ethanol-fed rabbits compared with controls. However, impaired carbachol- and EFS-induced relaxant responses were observed in high ethanol-fed rabbits compared with control rabbits. There were no significant differences in SNP- and papaverine-induced relaxant responses between control and high ethanol-fed rabbits. In addition, decreased neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS) immunoreactivity in penile tissue were found in high ethanol-fed rabbits, but increased the immunoreactivity in low ethanol-fed group, compared with control group. These results suggest that alterations in nitric oxide (NO) production within the cavernous tissue in the high ethanol-fed rabbits are, at least in part, responsible for the erectile dysfunction.Kocaeli University Research FundKocaeli University [200319]This study was supported by a grant from Kocaeli University Research Fund (Project number: 200319).

Comparative Analysis of Apoptotic Resistance of Mesenchymal Stem Cells Isolated from Human Bone Marrow and Adipose Tissue

Aim. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) isolated from human bone marrow (hBM) and adipose tissue (hAT) are perceived as attractive sources of stem cells for cell therapy. The aim of this study was to compare MSCs from hBM and hAT for their immunocytochemistry staining and resistance to in vitro apoptosis. Methods. In our study, we investigated the antiapoptotic ability of these MSCs toward oxidative stress induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and serum deprivation. Results were assessed by MTT and flow cytometry. All experiments were repeated a minimum of three times. Results. Flow cytometry and MTT analysis revealed that hAT-MSCs exhibited a higher resistance toward H2O2-induced apoptosis (n = 3, hBM-hAT viability H2O2  58.43 ± 1.24–73.02 ± 1.44, P < 0.02) and to serum-deprivation-induced apoptosis at days 1 and 4 than the hBM-MSCs (n = 3, hAT-hBM absorbance, resp., day 1: 0.305 ± 0.027–0.234 ± 0.015, P = 0.029, day 4: 0.355 ± 0.003–0.318 ± 0.007, P = 0.001, and day 7: 0.400 ± 0.017–0.356 ± 0.008, P = 0.672). hAT-MSCs showed superior tolerance to oxidative stress triggered by 2 mmol/L H2O2 and also have superior antiapoptosis capacity toward serum-free culture. Conclusion. In this study we found that hAT-MSCs are more resistant to in vitro apoptosis
