Mahmud Şevket Paşa Written by Mahmut Şevket Pasha, illustrated by the Naval Ministry painter Hüseyin Hüsnü (Töngüz) Efendi, this work, consisting of three volumes and an addendum, named Ottoman Organization and Dress-i Military, is both military and military work from the foundation of the Ottoman Empire to its last period. He examines in great detail the organization of the military, as well as military outfits, which are not found in almost any other source. The first volume of the work covers the period from the establishment of the Ottoman Empire to the abolition of the Janissary Corps, the second volume covers the period from the establishment of the Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye Army to 1876, and the third volume covers the period between 1876-1903. The appendix to the work includes some partial changes made after 1903.
The first two volumes of the work, the third volume and the appendix, which were printed in the Mekteb-i Harbiye Printing House in 1909, were not published during the period, probably because they contain information about the current military organization. This part of the work, which includes the period of Sultan Abdulhamid, is also of great importance in that it covers a period in which the military organization developed tremendously. Mahmut Şevket Pasha, in the preface of the first edition, wishes that this last volume will be published in the future, and with this publication, we are fulfilling the will of Pasha a hundred years ago.
We hope that this magnificent work, which we have transferred from the manuscript copy containing all the volumes in the Rare Works Library of Istanbul University, to today's alphabet by being faithful to the language of the period, will be a source for detailed researches of history researchers.

Mustafa Can, Nejla Günay, Ramazan Erhan Güllü, S. Gül Akyılmaz, Tuğba Eray Biber The Ottomans managed to maintain their unity and integrity in three continents by establishing and administering one of the longest-lived states in the world, in a geography known as the old world continents. It would be a wrong approach to base this success only on military power. Because the Ottoman Empire was able to maintain its existence for about three more centuries after losing its military power. So, to understand this, “How did the Ottomans provide peace and prosperity in the Middle East, the Balkans and the Caucasus, where turmoil is dominant today?” The answer to the question must be sought. Thus, it will be possible to find clues on how to improve the relations of societies with different cultures and beliefs with each other and how to achieve peace.
The Ottoman State showed the sensitivity of managing the beliefs and values ​​of its people with different origins, beliefs and cultural characteristics, rather than interfering and preventing them. The most important aim of the state was to ensure peace and tranquility through the society's coexistence within the framework of mutual respect. For this reason, he developed a management model called the "Ottoman Nation System" and accepted different religions as interlocutors before the newly established religious institutions and leaders to represent them. The Ottoman State connected the Orthodox Christian people and especially other Christian elements in the Balkans to the Fener Greek Patriarchate, the Armenian people to the Armenian Patriarchate, and the Jewish people to the religious leader known as the Chief Rabbi and ruled through them. According to this, the leader of each congregation was obliged to collect the tax that his congregation had to pay, to deliver it to the treasury and to ensure that the members of the congregation comply with the laws set by the state. On the other hand, the state did not interfere with the religious and cultural lives of the communities by leaving them free in their own internal order.

Muhammed Emin Durmuş The concept of mukâtaa is used to express practices that have different legal consequences in foundation law, as in Ottoman financial law. In this study, the focus is mainly on the practice of mukataa, which means renting the foundation land to anyone who wants to build a building or plant a tree, with the right of decision and ownership of it. The foundations of the mukâtaa practice date back to before the Ottoman Empire, and the Ottomans further developed this practice, which they inherited, with some arrangements and used it for centuries. However, Ottoman lawyers, who saw that the mukâtaa practice caused the abuse of foundations over time, did not insist on this practice, on the contrary, they developed the more advantageous icâreteyn practice for foundations. This shows that mukataa paved the way for the practice of icareteyn. In this book, the historical background, nature, different practices, conditions, legal principles and rights of the mukataa contract in the 16th and 17th centuries have been tried to be revealed, especially based on fatwa journals and sharia registers.

Yavuz Unat Although the research on Ottoman science in Turkey is carried back to 1955 academically, it is still very new. For the last 20 years or so, important studies have been carried out on Ottoman science, and with these studies, general opinions about Ottoman science have gradually changed. In particular, the Ottomans did not follow the West sufficiently, and the evaluations made only by looking at the innovation movements are far from drawing the general framework of Ottoman science. Studies of the history of science show us that the success of civilizations is largely dependent on scientific and cultural movements. In this sense, it is impossible to say that the Ottoman Empire, which managed to become a 600-year-old world empire, failed in science. This book, which we call Science and Technology in the Ottomans, is a study that compiles the researches of science historians working in this field in Turkey and consists of some published articles. The aim of the study is to convey the researches and results in this field to the general reader. Science and Technology in the Ottomans consists of three main parts. The first chapter contains general writings on Ottoman science and is titled An Overview of Science and Philosophy. The second part is devoted to the subject of Mathematical Sciences (Mathematics, Astronomy and Physics) in the Ottomans. The third part includes the subjects of Geography, Geology, Medicine and Technology in the Ottomans.

Hakan Yıldız ow much are we aware thet the secret of the Ottoman Empire's success in spreading three continents lies within the well-thought, planned and realized organizationsas as much as the valour and braveness?
Years long archive researches provides countless information for us to imagine this campaign organized in 1711 with its all.
...from the official war declaration following the opinion-taking meetings of the Sultan to the imperial orders issued to initiate the preparations on the campaign route...
...from ovens constructed in each range where the army would take a break to be able to provide them with fresh bread to the buzcus who would start to serve at the end of the winter season in order to keep foods and beverages cold...
...from seeing janissaries off from Istanbul with festivals to the arrival of the soldiers coming from numerous states at the determined points...
Briefly, as discovering the “Secret of the Ottoman Victories”, this book presents an alive panorama of a forgotten world.

Death, which we do not have a definite knowledge about what it is, continues to be a problem in philosophy from ancient times to this day. In fact, thinking about life rather than death because of the mysteries it carries is the wisest way of coping with death. Because the fear of death rather than death is abrasive and distracts people from their originality. Making sense of one's life with this perspective, organizing it accordingly, revealing its own meaning and value will be its only victory against death.

Halit Keskin, Ali Ekber Akgün, İpek Koçoğlu The book Organization Theory has been written to introduce the discipline of organization theory to the reader, to convey different perspectives, topics and theories in this field, and to create an infrastructure that can evaluate them. In the book, from the 19th century, when modernism, which emerged with the positivist approach in social sciences, shed light on the theory of organization, how the theory of organization developed until the 21st century, when the postmodernist approach was dominant in organization theory, which approaches were dominated by the theory of organization at different times, between approaches. It is aimed to systematically convey to the reader how conflicts are reflected in organizational theory and what difficulties they create in understanding organizations. While explaining how the theory of organization emerged and developed from a historical perspective, the book also aims to illuminate how social change overlaps with developments in other fields of science and its philosophical development as well as chronologically.
For effective learning of organizational theory, the diversity and complex nature of the field must first be acknowledged. Rather than trying to reduce the theory of organization to a single point of view, it is necessary to examine and enrich it within the framework of different perspectives of many paradigms. In this book, the complexity of organizational theory and its relevance to management practices as well as to social life are revealed by critical and distinctive assessments of different approaches, beyond the coherent and complementary explanations brought by the isomorphic approaches in many books to this field. It is aimed to break stereotypes in organizational theory, to prevent analysis based on a single paradigm, to prepare a suitable ground for reflexive thinking that is open to discussion and criticism, and to encourage a supra-paradigmatic understanding. Ultimately, the reader is expected to be able to understand the organization from different perspectives, think critically, move organizational theory beyond existing thought patterns, and develop enriching theoretical dialogues.

Salih Güney The reality underlying the success of organizations in today's globalization process is organizational internal effectiveness and efficiency. Because in difficult market conditions, organizations can continue their existence as long as they keep efficiency and productivity at high levels. The basic key to bringing efficiency and productivity to the desired levels is to know the "organizational structure" well.
Organizational behavior becoming a scientific discipline is very recent. However, the basic subject of organizational behavior, the human being and his productive work is very old. The interest of all scientists working on the organization has always focused on people and their efficiency.
People take part in an organizational structure at a certain period of their lives. The existence of people in organizational life depends on their success. This is closely related to the personal development of people. In this direction, Behavioral Sciences and Organizational Behavior trainings gain importance.
This book, whose chapter titles and topics were chosen primarily based on the needs of those who aim to be successful in business life, enables individuals to take a closer look at themselves and their business lives.

Yılmaz Akgündüz It is possible for organizations to reach their goals, by using their resources effectively and efficiently. The most important resource that organizations have is their employees, who are social and psychological assets. Understanding, influencing and directing the behavior of employees in the organization is the main focus of the field of organizational behavior. In this book, which consists of fifteen chapters, classical and contemporary organizational behavior issues are presented together.

Ali Şükrü Özbay, Zehra Gürsoy, Senem Doğan, Merve Aslankılıç The main audience for this book is expected to be language teaching professionals and EFL learners at different levels, although educators at all levels may find it useful. Over the last three decades, phraseology and the supremacy of multi-word combinations in various forms and labels have enjoyed a crucial role in understanding how the English language functions in terms of lexicality. The necessity of studying multi-word combinations has been advocated, and the inclusion of computational methods has been favoured by many leading linguistic specialists. Thus, this book is intended to introduce the lexical features of the English language to language teaching professionals and EFL learners worldwide through contextual examples. After a short introduction, the scope of the book is further extended to include English verbs with their most frequent complements. Each chapter offers literature connections related to phraseology, formulaic sequence, and lexical approach. Finally, a comprehensive list of multi-word combinations was added in the form of tables to support language teaching professionals and EFL learners inside and outside the classroom in their attempts to increase phraseological awareness.

Muhammed Fatih Gökmen Foreign (English) language teacher education has heretofore produced a plethora of theories, methods, procedures, and techniques, most of which are virtually based on a specific philosophical paradigm. In this vein, this book outlines and expatiates the cutting-edge pedagogy named as post-method pedagogy on the grounds of post-modern educational philosophy, the critiques imposed on the ‘method’ concept and the conventional teaching methods, complexity of the ELT profession, and the subjective role of ELT professionals - specifically language teachers. By virtue of the author’s three discretional rationales, the post-modern educational philosophy, theoretical postulations in post-method pedagogy, and the conducted pertinent research, the author orchestrated his own personal and professional ELT small-scale theory under the framework of four continuous teacher development, three post-method parameters, and the personal and professional qualities that ELT professionals might adopt.

Nalan Kalkan Oğuzhanoğlu The word pool formed during the translation process of many psychodrama books into Turkish, undertaken by the trainers of our institute, formed the basis of this book. The words that needed to be explained within the boundaries of psychodrama were tried to be analyzed with their interpretations and took their place on the pages.
This glossary will be obsolete as it is printed, but hopefully it will lead, with revisions and revisions, to become an increasingly comprehensive basic resource.

Aysun Devrim Yemenici, Beril Zeynep Hacıosman, Elif Çarpar, Elif Yöyen, Erkal Erzincan, Esra Akcan, Fatih Bal, Fatma Biçer, Filiz Tuna, Haydeh Faraji, Kahraman Güler, Kemal Er, Öznur Bozkurt, Yağmur Callak The effort to test different aspects of the psychological functions of events and situations is an important subject of contemporary psychology. In the process of realizing this function, the use of psychometric and statistical methods, as well as various, well-known standard tests, which are specially created as required by the relevant event and situation, are common. While psychologists working in the academic field may only focus on research and psychological theories aiming to deepen in a particular field, some other psychologists use this information in the field of applied psychology to provide immediate and practical benefit. Although these approaches show some differences, they are not mutually exclusive, and many psychologists become involved in a research process at some point in their career journey. Every psychologist who wants to be successful in his professional career should have a good command of quantitative and qualitative research methods. Quantitative psychological research includes the application of statistical analysis methods to psychological research and the development of new statistical approaches to measure or explain human behavior.
Most researchers consider the SPSS software program, which is the most widely used statistical analysis program in social sciences and especially behavioral sciences, as a difficult method. Spss Applications and Research Methods for Psychologists book is a guiding guide that also aims to ease the difficulties in this subject. This book will provide psychologists who want to do research with the ability to analyze research problems statistically, and to scientifically analyze the phenomena and events that fall into the field of psychology.

Osman İyilikci Quantitative data analysis is an important part of scientific research methods in psychology. One of the consequences of this situation is that the research design used during scientific studies in psychology determines which technique will be used to analyze the data obtained. From this point of view, all statistical analyzes in this book are handled together with the research design and measurement level they are related to.
The research examples and the topics covered in the book have been determined in accordance with the terminology that psychologists encounter in research methods, statistics and experimental psychology courses throughout their education. In order to increase clarity, the statistical analyzes in the book are handled through sample data files that the reader can download from the relevant web page. In addition, each analysis is supported by an example of an APA style report.
Considering the topics it covers, it is thought that the book is suitable both for those who are just starting to use SPSS and for researchers with SPSS experience. Therefore, the book is a helpful resource for both students and researchers in scientific research projects, research methods courses, and computer-applied statistics courses.

Qualitative research methods are one of the most effective ways to study this subject in depth.
Qualitative research methods are very important scientific research methods that have been preferred more frequently by researchers in recent times, both in terms of working directly with the person in their own language and not denying the potential effect of the researcher on the process. In qualitative studies, the goal is not to determine the truth or falsity of predetermined hypotheses, but to gather in-depth information about why and how experiences affect individuals. Within the framework of this basic stance, qualitative research has different methods, and each method has its own goal and analysis methodology. In this book, these methods are presented to the reader in detail in different chapters, by dealing with all the subtleties within the framework of both the purpose of the research and the ways to be followed according to the method used, and exemplified within the framework of studies in the field of psychology.

Zafer Cirhinlioğlu At first glance, the issue of health is perceived as a purely medical issue by large segments. Those who can take a closer look at the subject can see immediately that medicine is actually involved in the last stage of any health problem. The health of individuals goes through many stages until it becomes a medical issue and can be the subject of many other scientific fields. This is because it was well understood by the universities in the West, especially in the USA, that in these countries there are many branches and innumerable researchers outside of medicine dealing with health problems.
After the first publication of this book, social science researchers began to focus on health problems in our country. Some books and researches on the subject are made and published every year. The way to be healthy is actually not to lose our health. The creation of such a ground will only be possible if the social sciences are more actively involved in the solution of the country's problems.
Approaching "health" through social sciences is also important in terms of protecting the resources of our country, which is not very developed economically. Our investments are mostly in how sick individuals can be brought back to life, for example, we continue to build new hospitals. On the contrary, modern societies focus on how individuals can not get sick and develop their health policies at this point. The development of this understanding can be done much better by the social sciences. In order to be more effective in solving the health problems of our country, social science information should be discovered especially by the administrators. This book in your hand will help our people to understand their health problems from a better and broader perspective.

All theories and conceptualizations bear traces of the special experiences of their owners. In this respect, it is valuable to examine the thinkers and thoughts that look at a subject from different perspectives. Based on such a justification, this book brings together thinkers with sociological perspectives on illness and health. For this purpose, 49 names from different fields, but thought to be related to health and disease, were studied. thinkers; short life stories, basic thoughts, views on health and disease have been systematically examined, and a different, rich and valuable information has emerged about the sociology of health and illness.

Lütfi Sunar, Büşra Bulut Recent developments in the world and in Turkey have accelerated the studies on the history of thought and brought these discussions to the center. Islamism, too, constitutes one of the most vibrant areas of Turkey's political and intellectual life. The increase and interest in the number of discussions and publications on Islamic thought determined the quality of the studies, while at the same time allowing the sources to diversify. As in all political views, press and publications have an important place in Islamist thought. Ideas in this field have carried out publishing activities in order to convey their message to large masses. In this sense, in order to understand the history of Islamism, it is necessary to understand the history of the press.
The Islamist Journals Project (İDP), which was implemented by the Scientific Studies Association (ILEM) in 2013, aimed to add a new dimension to the thought and debate on Islamism and to contribute to the rethinking of Islamist issues through journals, which are the most important primary source of Islamist thought. Within the scope of the project, these journals were archived and made available digitally. The fact that the printed source has become accessible has illuminated a large area in the context of the determination, explanation and comparison of words, actions and facts in this field. The IDP Oral History study further expanded this field and colored and diversified the period researches through the personal testimonies of the actors who gave life to the printed sources. This book in your hand includes interviews with 34 people within the scope of oral history. This book, in which 34 different names testify, gives a lot of information about the adventure, transformations and fractures of Islamist thought in Turkey after 1970. These narratives may not radically change what we know, on the contrary, they may confirm the presuppositions we have in the study of the period, provide a new perspective, or point to a point that is not always said behind what is said. What we want to do with this book is not to confirm the information and fact in the printed sources, but to approach the period under study in different ways.

Ferhat Tekin Territorial boundaries were seen and studied as the subject of the discipline of geography and international relations until the early 1990s within the tradition of social science. From its emergence as a science until the 1990s, sociology did not take an interest in or ignore borders. However, both the territorial borders and almost every discourse, symbol and practice related to them are directly or indirectly related to the society. Because in the modern sense, borders are coded as sociopolitical spaces where society begins on one side and ends on the other. In other words, modern society is built in relation to both land (territory) and borders more than ever before. Almost all territorial borders impose a sense of national culture and identity on their citizens. In this respect, borders are drawn in people's minds as much as they are marked on the ground. Sometimes the boundaries drawn on the land may not have an exact correspondence in people's minds or cultures. In this case, territorial boundaries can be largely ineffective but also injurious. In any case, life and culture at the border; It can lead to passivity, inhibition, and many other interesting forms of sociological relationships.
In this book, the border is discussed from a sociological perspective, on the one hand, what it means in terms of nation-state, national homogeneity and culture and how it functions, on the other hand, how the border is perceived by border people and border communities, and how it plays a role in shaping the border culture.

The world and humanity, succumbing to time, confirm this promise by living it every second. The impossibility of returning a second ago creates an environment that is constantly changing and transforming in international politics, as in many other fields. Terrorism, like everything else in international politics, is changing. Especially the September 11 attacks created a catalyst effect in the change and transformation of terrorism in the world and created a new beginning.
While political violence refers to the violent operation of politics through society or the state, radicalism (fundamentalism) refers to the tendency to make fundamental changes in science, religion and politics.

Senem Zaimoğlu, Şehnaz Şahinkarakaş The objective of educational research has always been to better understand language learning. However, as research on learning psychology and other related fields has progressed, people's perceptions of language learning have shifted. The purpose of this book is to shed new light on the understanding of social-emotional aspects of language learning together with core issues among young adults in a variety of language learning contexts. The particular feature of this book is to integrate the socially and the emotionally oriented perspectives of language learning. It brings the current situation among young adults to the light by focusing on the necessity of social-emotional competences for young adults in a rapidly changing society that requires them to deal with a variety of problems, stressful situations, and competing goals. In particular, the book offers unique insights into the new framework of social-emotional foreign language learning together with its theoretical foundations. Additional feature of this book is its discussion of different social-emotional assessments used in social-emotional learning. The book concludes by calling for SEL programs for young adults, which will support their social and emotional well-being in their language learning journey.

Rauf Arıkan This booklet has been compiled for young researchers and students; It is designed as a guide for conducting research, writing reports, and presenting research. It is essential that the explanations with questions and answers are clear, short and easy to understand. The theoretical part or broad explanation of the subjects is left to other source books. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all researchers whose ideas we have benefited from, quoted or inspired by, including those whose names we cannot include in the bibliography. If real data is used in the sample solutions, the source is stated, if the source is not specified, the data is hypothetical. This booklet is like a simple pick of the knowledge room for those who want to learn and research.
The long process after entering the room is up to the young people. Fundamental concepts, the framework of scientific research, its possibilities, limitations, reaching facts, especially in social sciences, expressing them in writing and verbally are the inventory of our research room. By saying this, planning research, being aware of information sources, resorting to sampling, collecting and analyzing appropriate data, organizing tables and graphs, presenting and defending the research in the classroom or in front of a jury, describing the research in a science congress or turning it into a journal article, in all these stages, scientific studies are carried out. We want to express staying within ethical rules. We aimed to provide this with small questions and simple answers to them. We tried to deal with our subjects and examples within the framework of social sciences. The fact that human and social problems, not physics or chemistry, gained a larger dimension than before, led to this result. Poverty, unemployment, inflation, lack of education, inefficiency, malnutrition, injustice in income distribution, fair administration, waste, basic human rights, peace, immigrants, asylum seekers, unhappiness, environmental problems, etc. The topics started to attract more attention of researchers and this type of research became sought after. All of these are “What are we going to investigate?” ready-made research topics for young people who ask. New technologies and the phenomenon of globalization have expanded the dimensions of the business. Internet literature and the production and sharing of virtual data provided many conveniences, but also increased complexity and information pollution.
Today, there are more than 200 universities and 8 million university students in Turkey, and the number of academic dissertations completed annually is about 75 thousand (2019 data). Again, there are 185 TV channels and 10 thousand internet news sites in our country. It is also useful to remember the prevalence of computers and smartphones. In our book, we try to emphasize the importance of reinforcing and supporting this huge system with educated human resources, scientific research and accurate information.

In the case of a large number of variables, multivariate statistical analysis techniques are needed to analyze them together.
In this book, which is prepared as an undergraduate and graduate level textbook, multivariate statistical analysis techniques are discussed both theoretically and practically. In addition to the main multivariate statistical analysis techniques, advanced multivariate statistical analysis techniques are also included in the book. Analysis techniques in the content of the book were explained within the framework of basic conceptual information and applications were made with Stata, SPSS and R programs.
In order to guide students and researchers who will apply multivariate statistical analysis techniques, the book includes applications on various subjects in the field of social sciences, and attention has been paid to the detailed interpretation of the analysis results. Since these applications seek answers to various research questions by using real data, the book also has the feature of a research book, so it can be used by sectoral researchers, undergraduate and graduate students in all areas where multivariate analysis techniques are applied.
This book, which consists of twenty-one chapters, has been prepared by academics working at various universities in Turkey, whose fields of expertise are statistics, econometrics and operations research, and includes the following topics.

• Basic Assumptions of Multivariate Statistical Analysis Techniques
• Analysis of Data Entry and Multivariate Analysis Assumptions with Stata, SPSS and R Programs
• Multiple Linear Regression Models

Aysel Aziz How is research done in the social sciences? The book tries to answer this question from A to Z, starting from the thought stage of the research, explaining what processes it went through, how its design was made, how the data sources related to the research were collected, what observation techniques were available. Among these observation techniques, indirect and direct methods and data collection techniques used in both academic studies and social research are explained. It focuses on the features of preparing a questionnaire (questionnaire), one of the common observation techniques needed in many fields. Monography, content and discourse analysis, which are widely and intensively used as observation techniques, and oral history studies and action research, which are among the direct observation methods that are becoming more and more widespread in different disciplines, are also included. In the last part of the research, the rules for writing the findings and results of a research are explained.
In the "Appendix" part of the research, there are updated examples of data collection techniques described in the book and jargon definitions related to the field.

The current stop of the journey of using communication technologies, which started with the telegraph, is seen as social media. In an increasingly digitalizing world, social media undoubtedly affects people in every aspect of their lives. Consumer, customer, parent, business person, lover, voter… Regardless of identity, people are more or less in contact with social media, they affect someone more or less on social media, and they are also more or less influenced by others on social media.
This book presents a selection of theoretical and empirical studies on the role of social media in human and mass psychology.

Social media is a social communication process and a virtualized form of socialization. Communication, which takes place in our lives in every form and form that progresses from face-to-face communication to virtual communication today, is at the center of our lives, especially with the form of social media that we have started to use intensively with the COVID-19 pandemic. In today's world, when we are confined to our homes due to the pandemic, and live all our socialization activities and all processes of life in digital form, almost all subjects related to human and society have become virtualized versions of our lives in the physical world, by becoming virtualized and massified with the effect of social media. This book, which aims to provide answers about social media, which has become a virtual society, consists of topics that form social life, about the society, and also determines our virtual lives and agendas by moving to social media, and offers different perspectives on the sociology of social media.

İbrahim Arslanoğlu No matter which branch of sociology you want to specialize in, it is necessary to know sociological theories. As in every science, field studies in sociology can only be carried out by establishing a correct theoretical framework. For this, the information to be learned from the sociological theories course is extremely important.
Two things stand out in the books written in Turkey. The first is the inability to understand what the writer is saying. The other is that they tire the readers by making the word too long. For this reason, a relatively small volume of the book has emerged as the subjects in the book are explained concisely. In addition, since the language of the book is extremely simple and understandable, the readers will not bore it and will read it with pleasure.
The book will be extremely useful to graduate students, especially undergraduate students, researchers and curious readers.

Yalçın Karagöz With this book, the researcher; will be able to analyze and interpret the results by looking only at the subject of interest, without examining the entire book. This book has been prepared for undergraduate, graduate and especially scientific research. Regarding the subjects, the examples were solved first theoretically and then with SPSS, AMOS and META package program. In this book, single and multivariate statistics are explained almost completely. In addition, since the book also contains theoretical information, it can be preferred in undergraduate and graduate education.

Yalçın Karagöz This book has been prepared for undergraduate, graduate and especially scientific research. In this book, in quantitative, qualitative and mixed research, how the research process (determining the research problem, establishing hypotheses, determining the sampling method, data collection, reliability, validity, analysis of the data, evaluation of the findings, reporting, publication ethics etc.) will be carried out, quantitative, qualitative and mixed research. terms of use of analysis methods, use of package programs (SPSS-AMOS-META) in the analysis of data, statistics specific to the field of health, etc. tried to be given. In quantitative methods, parametric and nonparametric techniques and their differences, analysis methods to be applied according to these differences are given. Similarly, the differences between qualitative methods and the situations to be applied according to these differences are given.

An interdisciplinary approach is needed in order to understand and analyze the crime phenomenon and the definition of crime, which is multifaceted and dependent on many factors, and the changing criminal practices. In this book, which deals with the sociology of crime and the philosophy of punishment, the different perspectives of various academics, who are philosophers, sociologists, and lawyers, take place on different subjects. This book can be taught in both undergraduate and graduate compulsory and elective courses not only in sociology and philosophy departments, but also in law faculties, and it can be a resource for those who do research in these fields.

Abdulhakim Koçin, Eyüp Ertüren It has been 95 years since the Sheikh Said incident, which left its mark on a period in the history of the Republic of Turkey. The court records regarding this incident, which are in the archives of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, have remained closed until recently; It could not be examined by researchers other than those with special permission.
This book is the translation of the judgment number 69. Decision numbered 366 pages in Ottoman Turkish, which is among the files of the Independence Court. Therefore, in this book, there are translations of the statements and defenses of 92 people who were tried in the same case with him within the scope of the Sheikh Said incident, more than a hundred letters presented to the court as evidence and read in the court, and some reports.
While translating the documents in the book, no simplification has been made in order not to harm the originality of the text and to make it a text that can be used safely by those who will do research on this subject. In addition, the causes, effects, etc. of the incident in the book. not entered into the analysis; No evaluation has been made regarding the members of the court committee and the excused.

Alpaslan Aliağaoğlu, Abdullah Uğur Cities directly or indirectly affect a very large part of the world's population by connecting the surrounding population to themselves, due to their central location and the variety of goods and services they produce, together with the dense population they contain. For this reason, cities have a complex and rapidly changing structure by nature. For this reason, cities are difficult to plan, and their problems are many and varied. Globalization, which has been increasing its impact since the 1990s, has made this structure of cities even more complex.
Solving the problems of the cities and ensuring a healthy city development is only possible by analyzing the cities in a multi-faceted manner. This study aims to update the city, which has a long history and a rapid change, and the urban geography issues that deal with it, and to contribute to the multi-faceted analysis of cities.

Yavuz Alptekin, Mustafa Poyraz, Nilüfer Öztürk Aykaç, Selin Bitirim Okmeydan, Yaşar Erjem This study is one of the most comprehensive methodological studies on “urban sociology” in Turkey. The book has sixteen titles in fourteen chapters. Because two of the chapters consist of two separate titles. However, the book has been meticulously written in a way that makes the book "Efradını mosque, aghyarını" a work of expertise, and the issues and issues that should be included in a Urban Sociology book are masterfully handled by the author of each chapter, without going into unnecessary issues and discussions that will increase the volume and number of pages of the book. Except for the two chapters written by the editor, each chapter was written by a different academic from fifteen different universities in Turkey who are experts on the subject. The book has a methodology that can provide the educational material of the relevant courses in departments such as Sociology, Public Administration and Architecture of universities, as well as in a depth to meet the scientific information needs of academics and researchers from various levels who research different dimensions of City, Urbanization and Urban life, and finally, by reading these subjects from scientific books, the book is qualified. It is a complete book in simplicity that can meet the needs of curious readers who want to get information. This issue can be better understood when the sixteen main headings in the book, which are covered in fourteen chapters, are reviewed.

In this regard, we will not first lease our minds to the West or borrow their minds and lie on it. Because not only they are thinking, we are thinking too, we are also making “production ideas”.
Today, Turkey is located in the "periphery", not the center that determines and determines the intellectual agenda in the world, and often acts in a peripheral situation depending on the agendas determined by the center.
Therefore, our second goal is to help pave the way for getting out of the periphery and being at the centre. At the same time, it is to help the revival of our civilization, which we belong to in history, as an alternative, and to contribute to our thought life in its rebuilding.
This book also aims to reveal that contemporary Turkish thought is strong enough to be showcased in the world thought arena. If the development of our intellectual life towards its “natural medium” continues, it is certain that Turkish thought will make a significant contribution to world thought by producing newer and more original ideas. Now, we should leave behind the period of self-evaluation according to the thoughts of Western thinkers, and aim at the level where they can evaluate their own thoughts by looking at our products of thought, as in the past. We must be aware of it, so that we can move on to the periods of producing more of our new and universal ideas.

Soner Aksoy Objecting is an important act of courage that not everyone uses. This action has an important place in the life of thinking people. Those who use their minds may prefer to criticize while thinking and to judge when necessary. While some object to it from within, others express it. That's what I like to express without hesitation. Actually, I don't want to make it seem like a person to accept everything that is said, read or even see, and swallow it like a pill without question.
My purpose is not to mean a blind person who opposes everything that comes his way without thinking, back and forth, constantly objecting. I think that transferring the protest action with a reasonable and balanced approach can yield good results. This is a trait we expect from our intellectuals in particular. It should be done in order to tell the truth, to tell what is right without hesitation, to reveal any mistakes or mistakes, and to illuminate a view from a different perspective in order to seek the truth and the better.
Unfortunately, there is such a disease in our country. A secret virus implanted in minds when they were younger. It is almost a secret way of stopping development, growth, change, shooting ourselves in the foot, destroying the creative qualities of our children, killing the excitement and reducing productivity! There is a strong need for an education and training system that kills this hidden virus of society. What we need is serious and responsible for events; They are brave and virtuous young people who do not approach cynically, question, judge, try to learn why and why, and know how to object.

Yunus Emre Aydınbaş In this sixth book of the Pocket Books series, which aims to deal with the basic institutions and issues of Islamic economics in a content that can be easily understood by people of all levels, rather than a theoretical depth; The issue of saving, which has not received the attention of Islamic economics researchers, has been handled not only from an economic point of view, but also from a multifaceted perspective in terms of social, legal, moral and cultural aspects.
Despite its small volume, the work reveals the current state of Islamic economic studies through the concept of savings, and invites the reader to a modest search for the political economy of Islam from the crossroads of thought on the question of how the savings phenomenon can be shaped in Islamic economy.

Ahmed Tahir Nur, Alaaddin Günay, Ali Aslan, Asiye Aykıt, İsmail Taşpınar, M. Taha Boyalık, Mehmet Gel, Müstakim Arıcı, Özkan Öztürk, Şükran Fazlıoğlu Taşköprülüzâde, one of the most prolific names of the Islamic tradition of thought in the 16th century, on the one hand gives a true representation of his era, which is called the Late Renewal Period and which stands out with its methodological integration efforts, on the other hand, stands out as a complete heir to the scientific knowledge produced in previous periods. In this respect, he reconsidered the main problems that developed within the traditions of theology, philosophy and mysticism, which he inherited, in accordance with the gradual understanding of knowledge and reality of his age, and brought a holistic view to different fields of theoretical and practical thought with the works he wrote.
This book, on the one hand, reveals Taşköprülüzâde's contributions to the field of practical philosophy through the basic concepts of political and moral thought, on the other hand, it shows the ways in which the thinker deals with the tradition of Islamic linguistics and its main problems by focusing on the linguistics tradition. In addition, in the book, the reader will have the opportunity to observe the practical politics of Taşköprülüzâde, who is also a judge, by seeing how Taşköprülüzâde has contributed to the polemic literature that can be considered current in terms of the thinker's refusal against the Jews.

Abdurrahman Atçıl, Mehmet Arıkan, Mustakim Arıcı Taşköprülüzâde Ahmed Efendi left his mark on Ottoman thought as a versatile scholar. In this book, besides examining the life story of Taşköprülüzâde in detail, we tried to position him in his family, starting with his grandfathers, to describe him in the context of his teachers, peers and students, to classify and introduce his works. We included the life stories of three generations of the Taşköprülüzâdeler family and tried to write a collective life story. We have published an unknown work of Taşköprülüzâde that contains autobiographical records. In addition, the relations of the members of four generations of the family with the bureaucracy of the period were discussed in a separate article. The story of Taşköprülüzâde, which is told here and discussed in a broad framework about how an Ottoman scholar grew up and how he produced, claims to present a model for the writing of the "ulema biography" and the studies of the ulema. Our study, in a more general sense, is a candidate to be a cornerstone in the studies of Ottoman ilmiye with its "ulema family monograph" feature.

Velittin Kalınkara Our elderly world has also started to age demographically. Although the phenomenon of aging is mostly accepted as a problem of developed countries, it is now an issue that should be emphasized as much as developed countries. Since the beginning of the twentieth century, there has been a significant increase in the number and proportion of the elderly as a result of the improvement of health conditions, decrease in fertility and increase in quality of life with the effect of industrialization. This increase; It has caused rapid and important changes in family and community life, changed social institutions, behavior and values, and affected the status and functions of the elderly. In this process, while the family structure and social structure changed, the readiness of the family and the institutions did not change in the same direction. While the improvement of living conditions ensures longevity, the economic, social and health-related problems of longevity are generally ignored.
This book will be useful for individuals to equip themselves with basic information about aging and to develop an attitude towards solving problems. It is a source book especially for academicians working in health and social fields, students studying in the field and those who are interested in the subject.

Abdullah Korkmaz, Amine Aydın, Beyzade Nadir Çetin, Ersan Ersoy, Fatih Kars, Işıl Kalaycı, İbrahim Kaygusuz, Metin Özkul, Meyrem Tuna Uysal, Osman Özkul, Serkan Güzel, Taner Tatar, Ümit Akca, Yasin Yılmaz, Yaşar Kaya, Yeşim Elvan Gökçe Scientific theory is a set of propositions to explain the formation of the universe. Scientific sociological theory, on the other hand, is a set of propositions to explain how the universe of social action, interaction and organization works. Our view of the world is based on our theoretical perspective. It is possible to realize the complexity and ambiguity of the ordinary aspects of the social world, by looking at the routines of daily life again with sociological theories. While doing sociology, sociologists focus on certain aspects of events, approach their subjects with some acceptance, give weight to some research methods and seek answers to some specific questions. This theoretical view brings about the emergence of an explanatory and systematic result. Sociological theories are not formal and empty patterns, but on the contrary, modernity, family, city, consumption, disability, risk, old age, epidemic diseases such as Covid-19, refugees, occupations, etc. It is directly related to various areas of daily life. How we see, understand and explain these areas of daily life, as well as how we act in them, is closely related to what shape it takes.
Trying to understand human behavior, interaction and order, sociology focuses on a more systematic exploration and rediscovery of what people do in their daily lives and routines. Even if the apparent ordinariness of everyday life makes theoretical studies on the concept difficult, sociological discussions have an important place in this discovery process.
In this study, which strives to understand sociological theories, sociological debates of traditional and modern periods, and various fields/concepts of daily life, issues that can be classified in the context of both the comprehensive features of social structures and institutions and the details of individual encounters and human interactions are discussed. .

Akif Avcu Today, many different statistical processes have become an integral part of test development processes in order to examine the qualities that measurement tools should have. With the widespread use of measurement tools, these procedures have been accepted as a "standard" for many researchers. In particular, confirmatory factor analysis and explanatory factor analysis are carried out to examine the construct validity. On the other hand, it is seen that these analyzes carried out today are carried out with techniques based on item response theory. In addition, the examination of structural equivalence, person congruence, and differentiated item functions are increasingly used in studies to determine validity. In addition to providing theoretical explanations on this new understanding of the validity and reliability, this book also includes a content that explains how the analyzes are carried out in the R software environment and how the findings are interpreted. For this reason, the R software environment is introduced in a part of the book. In order to make it easier for researchers to make applications, the R codes of the sample analyzes and the data sets used are also available to the readers. With this book, it is hoped that the frequency of use of modern test development applications in future studies will increase.

Levent Şarlak In this book, it is aimed to reflect the political view of The Times Newspaper, which was considered as the "semi-official newspaper" of England, the biggest political power of the period, to the Balkan Wars, which is also considered to be the forerunner of the First World War. Although the main subject of the book is the Balkan Wars, from the Unionist figures of the period to the Ottoman Armenians; Many different topics published in The Times, from discussions on Thessaloniki to the proposal for the Ottoman Empire, whose map, financial and administrative division were almost identical to the Treaty of Sevres of 1920, were also discussed under different headings.
Confirming the argument that the First World War was a war of partitioning the Ottoman Empire, nearly half of The Times' overall pre-war one-year editorial deals directly with Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. In this war of division, the rivalry between the Great Powers also took place in Paris, St. Petersburgh was reflected in newspaper columns with telegrams from Vienna and Berlin; In these capitals, the Ottoman government, especially the Union and Progress administrators, was followed with the meticulousness of an intelligence officer. In this respect, the Istanbul correspondent, who could be considered the main source of The Times on the Ottoman Empire at that time, was the British intelligence officer working in the Ottoman lands since 1905 and the person who trained the famous British agent Lawrence at the Cairo station; It is not a coincidence that readers' letters come from people like Gertrude Bell and Mark Sykes, Sykes of the Sykes-Picot Agreement...

Cevat İnal, Ali Erdi, Ferruh Yıldız In our country, maps in different scales are produced for different purposes. These maps are used by different professionals in all kinds of projects and applications based on the earth. Technical staff outside the map industry should know and be able to apply the subject and simple measurement techniques in order to be able to carry out the technical principles and application projects related to the production of these maps they use. This work has been prepared in such a way that it can be a reference source for the problems related to topography of technical staff working in sectors such as construction, architecture, city and regional planning, geology, mining, environment and agriculture, especially outside the mapping sector. In addition, the main issues of the map-cadastre sector related to topographic measurements are also included in the work.
