Hakan Yıldız Thanks to this diary written by a janissary clerk about 1711 Pruth Campaign, it is a probability that we have the opportunity to know better than the historian of the period.
While setting off the final campaign as a janissary who served for 55 years, the Janissary Clerk Hasan embraced the paper and quill to create a witness for the history, not only as a part of his job.
He recorded the campaign starting from the announcement of the war and to the thorough political evaluation of the period in an international scale: The campaign march, arrival at the battle zone, accommodation, battles, influx of serdengeçtis, desertion of soldiers, chasing off the enemy and signing a peace treaty…
Having mentioned about those who had neglected and disregarded their duties and obligations and were sentenced after the war and about the diplomacy processes with Russia, the Janissary Clerk Hasan puts an end to his words by expressing that: “I would like those who has the knowledge and read this diary to remember me with blessings, and to complete the deficiencies in my words and correct and cover up my mistakes.”

The Janissary Clerk Hasan was born as a son of a father who had also served as a janissary and followed the path of his father. He became a janissary in 1656-1657 and was promoted to the position of janissary clerk after having participated in Kamenice Campaign in 1672 and Uman Campaign in 1674. He was appointed to Crete in 1682 and served in various provinces of the island for 12 years. Between the years of 1694 and 1697, he served in Lesbos and between the years of 1697 and 1704 in Euboea. He was promoted to the office of Janissary Clerk in Istanbul in 1704. He participated in Pruth Campaign in 1711 despite of his grand old age and wrote about his campaign memories constituting this book.

Abdullah Said Arı, Alejandro Marambio-Tapia, Alem Kebede, Benjamin Kerst, Deborah Giustini, İbrahim Kuran, Jonathan Leif Basilio, Julia Seefeld, Kent E. Henderson, M. Onur Arun, Matthias Meißner, Necdet Yıldız, Silke Tophoven, Wai Lau A Quest for Justice stands as a competently curated work by two promising academics who, with courage, have embraced the critical social sciences tradition —a need that resonates strongly in contemporary justice studies. Justice remains a never-ending exploration, an expedition not only driven by the functional necessities that keep civilizations standing but also rooted in one of humanity's most primal values. A Quest for Justice conveys this complex notion implicitly, resonating from its very title to its closing words.
With its diverse approaches from political sociology, social policy, and political philosophy, the book delivers a robust and systematic collection of genuine and plausible ideas. Crafting a tapestry of theoretical and praxis-oriented insights, scholars from Turkey, the United States, Germany, Chile, Belgium, and the United Kingdom lay bare the difficulty of ensuring justice amid the myriad social maladies our societies face today. This volume transcends traditional paradigms, interweaving theory and practice, inviting readers to reflect, engage, and act in the ongoing pursuit of a living justice.

Esra Tarlan Demirbaş İtalya'da 17. yüzyılda ilk uygulama örnekleri görülen hayat sigortacılığı, 20. yüzyılın sonlarına doğru Türkiye'ye gelmiştir. Ülkemizde uygulanmaya başlanmasıyla birlikte, hayat sigortası poliçelerinin pazarlanması, hizmet pazarlaması için 1990'ların başında oldukça güncel bir konu olmuştur. Bahsi geçen yıllarda tüketicilerin hayat sigorta poliçesi ürününü seçerken karar verme yöntemlerini, poliçeleri seçme ve satın alma davranışlarını ve pazarda yeni görülen bu ürünle ilgili bilgi seviyelerini gösteren ampirik araştırma sonuçlarının da yer aldığı bu kitabın ilk bölümlerinde, hizmet pazarlaması ve sigorta hizmetlerinin pazarlanması konuları da detaylıca incelenmiştir. Kitabın, hizmet pazarlaması ve sigorta hizmetlerinin pazarlanması konularının yanı sıra hayat sigortacılığının yeni görülmeye başlanacağı az gelişmiş ve/veya orta alt gelişmiş ülkeler için de yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.
Life insurance products which emerged in Italy in the 17th century, appeared in Türkiye towards the end of the 20th century. Accordingly, the marketing of life insurance services became a hot topic for service marketing, in the early 1990's. Findings of the empirical research on consumers' decision-making process of life insurance services that was conducted in those years, take place in this book besides the conceptual study on the marketing of services and life insurance services. This book is not only a valuable source for the development of Turkish life insurance sector, but also a valuable guide for countries where life insurance products would emerge.

Erkut Akkartal This book explains with examples how the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods, contributes to the Logistics and Supply Chain decision processes. After the decision criteria are determined for the decisions to be made in the logistics processes, the alternatives are compared on the basis of criteria and the result is reached. Although numerical results are deterministic, person's experience, perception and company/individual selection policies also play a role in preference. The examples in the book are from the purchasing, warehousing and distribution legs of Logistics. Undoubtedly, the AHP method can be improved with fuzzy logic and other sophisticated methods, but here, examples are presented in the context of how a selection process can be transformed into an analytical thinking process in the simplest sense, and advanced techniques that can be used are left to the reader. It is aimed to keep in mind by reconsidering the theoretical dimension for each example. Each example is handled step-by-step and supported by detailed tables before the data is entered into the sofrware.

Metin Boşnak The portrayal of women in mythology, folklore, and literature as discordant palimpsests of universal realities canonizes patriarchal dicta, which the cherubim of politics, literature, and hermeneutics scrape clean and reinscribe as often as is necessary. In this book, Dr. Boşnak analyzes from a feminist perspective the origins of overt and covert misogyny in various works of nineteenth-century American literature: Washington Irving's “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Wife”, Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, and The Blithedale Romance, Henry James' The Bostonians, and The Turn of the Screw. Yoked together, the American writers champion the recurrent mythic patterns of the archetypal women in the Western canon: the pre-lapsarian and post-lapsarian Eve (Eve before and after the Fall) and that of Lilith (the Dark Lady). Tracing themes and motifs in American literature to their archetypes, Dr. Boşnak deconstructs claims about the “uniqueness” of American culture and letters.
Metin Boşnak is a published poet, essayist, and scholar of Comparative Literature and American Studies at Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University.

Rıza Karabağ ... (1890-1901 Anadolu coğrafyasına, özellikle de Amasya bölgesine; 1905-1908,1818-1920 Azarbaycan’ın bir çox şeher ve kendlerine yapılan köçlerden sonra] Sonuncu köç 1988-ci ilda oldu. Man bu sürgünü on yeddi yaşımda yaşadım. İlk qanlı layihalari “Xocalı” soyqırımı kimi bizi da soyqırım edib bizi mahv etmak idi. Amma o zaman Ermanistan’ın prezidenti Ağambekyan idi. Qış aylarında bir neça dafa Ermanilarin kandlarimiza tank va toplarla hücumu xabarini eşitdik. Har dafa xabar eşidanda dağlara qaçıb meşada gizlanirdik. İki metra yaxın qar yağırdı. Hücum hitandan sonra kandlarimiza qayıdardıq. Bu hücumlar bizi köç etmaya macbur etdiran hadalama siyasati idi. Çünki onlar (Aqambekyan hökumati) bizi sakitca uzaqlaşdırmaq qararına galmişdirlar. Üç ay çarasiz vaziyyatda mübariza apardıq. Evimizi tark etmak istamirdik. Yena da sonuncu dafa xabar galdi ki, Ermanilar tank va toplarla kandlarimiza hücum edib. Çaykand Şahar Sovet Sadirliyi (Baladiyya başçısı) Aftandil, Ağambekyan rahbarliyina bu hücumları dayandırılması üçün telefon edir va mahs bundan sonra hücumlar dayandırılır. Amma Ermanilar bir geca bizim kandimiza (Qarakaya) basçın etdilar. Biza tapşırdılar ki, buranı sassiz tark edak. Ermanilar, Ermanistan’ın bir çox bölgalarinda Türk kandlarina basçın edarak, camaatını tandirlarda yandıraraç çatla yetirdilar. Biz yurdumuzu tark etmasaydik, bizim da başımıza bu müsübatlar galacakdir. Taxminan on min ahalisi olan Qaraqoyunlu bölgasinin kandlari (Taxminan beş yüz min tüm günümüzdeki Ermenistan/Garbi Azerbaycan/İrevan Xanlığı bölgesinin Türk ahalisi) bir neça günda arzinda dağıdılaraç yox oldu. Bu, tam bir falakat idi. Ailamiz va çohumlarımız ila berabar atamın yük maşınına minib çaçdıç. Ovvalca Qazax, sonra Gadabaya galdik. Qaraqoyunlu ahalisi bir-iki aila birlaşarak yük maşınlarına minarak çaçırdılar. Geca çafil çaçdığımız üçün evimizi, torpağımızı, heyvanlarımızı va har şeyimizi çoyub çaçdıç. Bir neça gün Gadabayda çadırda yaşadıç. Sonra bizi Ermanilar tarafindan boşaldılmış Barumbarsum kandindaki Ermani evina yerlaşdirdilar. Digarlari İsa Ermani kandi olan Çardaklıya yerlaşdirildi. Bundan başça, onların çoxu Bakı, Sumçayıt kimi şaharlarda maskunlaşdılar. Ermanilar kanddan çıxanda heyvanları da daxil olmaçla har şeyi apardılar. Azarbaycan hökumati bizi Ermani evina yerlaşdirmakdan başça biza heç bir kömaklik göstarmadi. Farçli madaniyyata malik bu Ermani kandina va evlarina alışmadıç, çabul etmadik,, uyğunlaşa bilmadik. Bir neça ay çaldıçdan sonra ailalikca
Sumçayıt’a köçdük va tanış olmayan bir (şahar) hayata sıfırdan başladıç”.

In an international order dominated by hostility, distrust and negative stereotypes, dialogues across borders are a positive response. The conflict between Greece and Turkey is considered one of the most complex conflicts in Europe, and possibly beyond. For decades, the bilateral strife has repeatedly led insecurity as well as periodic violence and war. Also, in this part of the world, the past weighs heavily on the present. What happened long ago determines what happens today and may stand in the way of a peaceful future, or even in imagining one. Conflicts bedevil the bilateral relationship on multiple fronts. As in other cross-border rivalries, we are witnesses to dynamic developments as new contentious issues have emerged to complicate the agenda.
With an eye on what the two sides can do together; this book presents original research co-written by at least one Greek and one Turkish scholar with the objective to provide policy recommendations that could help in bridging the gaps to enhance Greek-Turkish dialogue and cooperation.

Ahmet Kazan In order to manage changing societal demands and find answers to economic problems, governments have placed a high priority on reforming their public administrations, particularly during the 1980s. In this period, public reform initiatives were mostly associated with the New Public Management paradigm. In this regard, it has served as the foundation for the reform initiatives in public administration that many developed and developing nations from around the world hope to implement.
While there are examples of successful adoption and implementation of the New Public Management paradigm, particularly in developed nations, there have also been implementation issues in developing nations, where the differences in their political, social, and economic structures have presented challenges for these nations when implementing the new paradigm. Türkiye went through a process comparable to other developing countries in terms of public administration and public financial management systems, despite its tremendous efforts to rebuild the public organization within the framework of the new paradigm in the aforementioned process.
The implementation outcomes of the New Public Management reforms and the causes of the issues encountered—particularly in Turkish Public Financial Management System—were examined in this study, and some recommendations for solutions were presented in this regard.

Ganna Plotkina, İlke Kadıoğlu Sienkiewicz, Megan Carlos, Özen Bağbaşlıoğlu Sarı, Pamela S. Wrona, Taryn Weinkam, Vincent Sienkiewicz, Zeliha Babayiğit, Zeynep Polat Turner With the growing number of clinical psychology programs in Turkey, it can be seen that there is a dearth of English language case studies that includes both Turkish and foreign clients. Many colleagues and students have echoed this point, expressing a need for a relevant, accessible, and informative guide to writing and analyzing clinical case material. It was for the purposes of meeting this need that we designed and organized this book. This book is a collection of various evidence-based, commonly used theoretical perspectives. It provides students with examples of how to analyze, organize, and interpret case material through the lens of various major psychological frameworks such as psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, humanistic, and internal family systems theory. The clinicians contributing to this book are a diverse mix of Turkish and American psychologists writing about cases that they have encountered in their practice.

Nigar Çağla Mutlucan The book draws attention to the growing importance of clusters today and examines academic studies on clusters. The purpose of the book is to find out the benefits of clusters, whether they catalyze for local, regional and even national development as claimed in theory, in short, whether they are a panacea. First, a thorough literature review is offered and then successful examples of clusters in the world are examined: the Baden-Württemberg automotive cluster in Germany, the Hollywood film cluster in the USA, the Hamburg aviation cluster in Germany, the automotive cluster in Japan, the Castellon ceramic cluster in Spain, and the Sassuolo ceramic cluster in Italy. Afterward, clusters in Turkey are briefly analyzed. Finally, the author's answer to the question of whether clusters are a panacea is presented and the conditions required for clusters to be successful are discussed.

Yakup Çelikbilek This book aims to introduce basic programming features through simple examples to students, instructors, engineers, computer programmers, and everyone interested in programming. Computer Programming is like language literature. While talking or writing in our daily lives, we create sentences to communicate with others by using characters between 25 and 30 according to the language used. Even though 25-30 characters may seem like less, we can create an infinite number of sentences including artistic activities, such as poetry, song, novel, etc. The better someone knows his/her language, the better s/he uses it. If not, s/he can only communicate. Programming languages are not different than spoken languages. Therefore, the better you know a programming language, the better you can speak it. The much better you know it, you can start making art with it. Besides all this, if you start thinking and evaluating like a computer, you can do more than art. And all this whole process of creativity starts with learning the ABCs of computer programming in the best way possible.
In light of all this information, this book deals with the ABCs of computer programming, which is the first step in talking effectively to a computer, through C and Java programming languages.

Annamaria Csiszer, Emine Akçadağ Alagöz, Emre Gündoğdu, Hakkı Göker Önen , Hayriye Asena Demirer, Idlir Lika, Keisuke Wakizaka, R.A. Yunus TURAN, Viktoriia Demydova, Yavuz Çilliler The idea of writing this book originated from the need to provide an up-to-date textbook for students of “Comparative Modernisation”. Nevertheless, it is designed to be of use to general readers with an interest in the subject by offering a compact history of the modernisation of various political systems. It informs readers about the modernisation histories of Türkiye, France, Russia, China, Iran, Japan and Hungary.
As Rustow pointed out, an initiative to understand modernisation with a single analytical framework in each political unit is impossible. A common framework would not neatly fit cases in different geographies and societies. Research on the Middle East may stress the influence of the Ottomans, Islam and the Eastern Question while research about Africa may involve the process of decolonisation, African socialism and blackness.
Concordantly, each book chapter about the modernisation of a political unit in this study comprises both the chronological advances in this unit in light of its unique historical conditions and a comparison of them with the intellectual, economic, social and political developments in the West in order to identify similarities and differences.

Abdul Qahar Khatir, Bilal Özden, Caner Özdurak, Gülşah Alcan, Haci Ahmet Karadaş, Lecturer Ayşe Çoban, Murat Yılmaz, Necdet Sezal, Sadife Kınalı This book, titled Contemporary Approaches in the Field of Economics, Finance and Management, consists of the studies presented online at the International Participated Economic Research and Financial Markets Congress (IERFM) held in Konya between 15-17 October 2020 and deemed appropriate to be published after the editorial review.
The book consists of 7 chapters in total and the chapters have been prepared by scholars studying in the fields of economics, finance and management, market professionals and those working in the financial media. The latest developments regarding the subject addressed in each section have been shared, discussed, evaluations have been made to be a source of motivation for new studies. Thus, it was tried to contribute to the literature by filling knowledge gap on the subject.
Similarly, in the future IERFM Congresses, it has been planned that the studies deemed appropriate after the editorial reviews will be published as book chapters. In this book, it is aimed to analyze the current developments in the field of economics, finance and business management in a scientific level. In this context, it is expected that the book will provide added value to the academic studies and people dealing with science.

These problems reveal that the current economic and production system cannot continue in the same way and that it is necessary to turn to alternative methods in order to leave a livable world for future generations. Sustainability and circular economy are on the agenda as key concepts for a more just and livable world in economic, social, and environmental terms.
This book, which focuses on these two important concepts, aims to determine the current situation and to offer suggestions for future studies with 17 chapters in which researchers working in different disciplines in the field of business administration contribute to current discussions in the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Türkiye.

As the reader charts a course through the turbulent waters of historical context and literary analysis, they discover how Patrick O'Brian's gripping tales of seafaring adventure transcend mere storytelling, offering profound insights into the dynamics of power, place, and identity. Through meticulous discourse analysis, the study unveils the hidden depths of maritime fiction, revealing how geopolitical representations are forged, contested, and disseminated in the currents of cultural imagination.
In this book, readers are invited to embark on a scholarly odyssey, where the sails of critical inquiry catch the winds of historical insight, guiding them to new shores of understanding. This work not only enriches our appreciation of maritime literature but also offers a compelling perspective through which to view the intricate tapestry of geopolitics woven into the fabric of society.

Büşra Müge Özdil, Emre Debreli In this book, we discuss the concept of critical pedagogy (CP) and its links to general education and ELT education in particular. Our discussion covers CP's role in education together with its theoretical foundations, and we expand our discussion through demonstrating a CP-ELT relationship. We later focus on the teacher roles discussed in the area of language teaching, and further discuss how these are influenced by CP theory. This discussion particularly demonstrates teacher roles such as: teachers as passive technicians, teachers as reflective practitioners, and teachers as transformative intellectuals. We believe that this book provides a valuable source in understanding the language teaching profession which requires a careful analysis of social, cultural and historical realities that have affected the profession, as well as the changing roles of the language teachers.

Deniz Say Sahin When it comes to health, it is inevitable to discuss not only biological facts but also a sociological relationship or behavior, a social group, and a social organization. Health, which remains the most important and valuable aspect of human life, is a sociological issue regarding obtaining, protecting, and maintaining it. As in many fields of social sciences, there are many different conceptual and contextual views on health sociology. This book opens a window for the current situation of the issues that have been discussed and changed rapidly within sociology of health. In this context, this work titled 'Current Discussions in Sociology of Health' is consist of articles about the areas and subject of health sociology, the change of physician-patient relations over time, the effects of demographic transformation on health policies, the concept of health literacy and the effects of technology in the field of health, the scope of rights and health worker-patient and hospital relations in the context of sociology of health.
Sağlık söz konusu olduğunda sadece biyolojik olgulardan değil, sosyolojik anlamda bir ilişki ve davranış, sosyal bir grup ve toplumsal bir kurumdan bahsetmek kaçınılmazdır. İnsan hayatının en önemli ve değerli yönünü oluşturan sağlık elde edilmesi, korunması ve sürdürülmesi bakımından sosyolojik bir konudur. Sosyal bilimlerin birçok alanında olduğu gibi sağlık sosyolojisi konusunda da kavramsal ve içerik olarak birbirinden farklı birçok görüş bulunmaktadır. Kitapta, sağlık sosyolojisi bağlamında çok tartışılan ve hızla değişime uğrayıp farklılaşan konuların günümüzdeki durumu ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda “Sağlık Sosyolojisinde Güncel Tartışmalar” isimli bu çalışma sağlık sosyolojisinin alanları ve konusu, hekim-hasta ilişkilerinin zaman içerisindeki değişimi, demografik dönüşümün sağlık politikalarına etkileri, sağlık okuryazarlığı kavramı ve teknolojinin sağlık alanındaki etkileri, sağlık sosyolojisi bağlamında haklar ile sağlık çalışanı-hasta ve hastane ilişkilerinin kapsamını inceleyen makalelerden oluşmaktadır.

Lale Tüzüner, Vasfi Kahya, Yüksel Yalçın In today's world, information is one of the most important resources in the management of individuals, institutions, societies and systems. When considered in this regard, concepts in the field of management have a more vital value with the development of digitalization and the increase in its domain. At this point, information management stands out and becomes increasingly important. The evaluation of variables such as human, process, structure, technology and culture, which have a very valuable place in the field of management, using data, information and knowledge, emerges as a very important reality.
Relatively increasing competition in economic activities has an important place in determining and implementing strategies of all institutions and organizations, global, national and local.
In order to be sustainable, the design of innovative and creative structures and processes using information management systems and applications forms the foundations of the future ecosystem.
The production and processing and use of information are considered as one of the most important ways of creating value within the scope of the new paradigm emerging as a result of developments in information, communication and production technologies. The ecosystem of the information society comes to life on this basis.
In this study, the application areas of the relevant conceptual framework and different variables are explained in three main sections, which are considered as ‘’data, information and knowledge”.

Sinem Eray A person who is responsible for choosing certain things at every stage of his life cannot always be rational in his choices. This situation does not change in every election about life, so it cannot be expected to show a different approach in party elections. In representative democracies, the people elect their rulers. Indeed, the key mechanism of reconciliation in a competitive society is elections. Although the history of voting dates back to ancient times, the same cannot be said for parliamentary democracy. Countries adopt different electoral systems according to their own government systems and administration styles. There are functional differences in their systems in countries that adopt the same electoral system. In this process, the consistency of the representation rate of the citizens of the country has a great impact on the country's democracies.
In the study, the concepts of democracy, political participation, government systems, political parties and representation are explained. The electoral systems are detailed with examples and the parliamentary elections of the last thirty years of the countries that are called democratic for each electoral system are analyzed.

Mehmet Çelik The influence of development aid on the foreign policy implementation of middle power countries has not been widely studied in the existing academic literature. In addition, states' perceived prestige, as an added indicator to measure a country's middle power status, has not been explored in the literature.
As such, this study attempts to academically contribute to the existing literature by investigating how development aid affects the foreign policy of a middle power country in its relationship with the aid receiving country. Through both primary and secondary empirical data collected, the theoretical framework was studied by applying Türkiye's development and cooperation agency, TİKA's, influence on Turkish foreign policy on Somalia and Bosnia and Herzegovina between 2002 and 2018 as a case study. This case study was precisely selected as Türkiye has been a rising middle power state since the early 2000s and the use of development aid as foreign policy instrument has been considered one of the key successes in establishing a prestigious presence worldwide.
Ultimately, this book attempts to answer the following theoretical questions: a) What is a middle power country? b) How does prestige contribute to the middle power status of a country? And, c) Do state development agencies positively or negatively affect middle power countries' foreign policies?

Tolga Gündoğdu Es ist höchste Zeit, auch im Bereich der universitären Lehre auf das digitale Zeitalter zu reagieren und konkrete Änderungen ins Leben zu rufen, mit denen das angehende schulische und universitäre Lehrpersonal auf die Herausforderungen des 21. Jahrhunderts kompetenzorientiert vorbereitet werden kann. Am effektivsten ist es, wenn man bereits während der LehrerInnenausbildung an Hochschulen damit beginnt, bestimmte zukunftsorientierte Kompetenzen zu vermitteln.
Denn es ist inzwischen unumstritten, dass die neue Generation der Jugendlichen und Kinder anders liest, schreibt, spricht und lernt. Sie erwarten und bevorzugen eine besondere Art und Weise der Wissensdarbietung, die sich so nah wie möglich ihrer Lebenswelt anpasst. Je größer die Distanz zur nun überwiegend digital gestalteten Lebenswelt der jungen Generation ist, desto schwieriger scheint es, ihr neues Wissen zu unterbereiten.
Vor diesem Hintergrund beschreibt dieses Buch aufbauend auf dem ‚digital storytelling'-Ansatz, die Entwicklung einer methodischen Herangehensweise, mit der eine erfolgreiche und gewinnbringende Vermittlung digitaler und mediendidaktischer Kompetenzen erreicht werden kann. Gemäß dieser Zielsetzung werden praktische Hinweise zur Schulung notwendiger digitaler Kompetenzen des 21. Jahrhunderts präsentiert und situationsorientiert mit konkreten Beispielen bereichert, wobei der ‚digital storytelling'-Ansatz als roter Faden der Methodik fungiert.
Das Werk richtet sich insbesondere an Lehrbeauftragte, DozentInnen und TrainerInnen, die für die Ausbildung und Vorbereitung von FremdsprachenlehrerInnen verantwortlich sind.

Kürşat Taştan, Sinan Yılmaz, Nalan Sabır Taştan Türkiye, which has not been accepted as a full member of the European Union due to political reasons, is one of the important countries of Europe with its historical and geopolitical position, military and economic power and institutional infrastructure.
The quantitative growth of Turkish higher education, which started in the 2000s in direct proportion to the country's greatness, has resulted in Türkiye's attempts to become one of the leading European higher education countries, with expansive physical campuses and high-tech distance learning opportunities.
In the book, the reflections of the higher education quality studies in Türkiye, which followed the studies starting with the Bologna process in Europe, and the systematic studies of Turkish Higher Education Quality Council (THEQC), which was established as a national quality assurance agency in 2015, are tried to be illustrated based on the data of a scientific study.
Higher education quality studies, which started with the establishment of THEQC, have been a turning point for the Turkish higher education system. Turkish higher education, where the diffusion and adoption of quality management by ESG standards have been completed in general, has the potential to create Europe's most successful universities in the next ten years by applying quality more and more.

Alanlar içi ve alanlar arası kavramsal dalgalanmaların söz konusu olması, kavramlar üzerinden ya da kavramlara yönelik olarak gerçekleştirilen okumaların sürekli güncellenmesini gerektirmektedir. Alanlar arası dolaşımda içerikler paylaşıldıkça zenginleşmekte ve yeniden ele alınıp dönüşmektedir. Beş ülkeden 14 akademisyenin kaleme aldığı bu kitapta yer alan bölümler de farklı içerik bileşimleri üzerinden yeni kavramsal uzlaşılara ve okumalara yol açacak şekilde tasarlanmıştır.
The concepts in language, literature, translation, and in social sciences tend to be supple and flexible content-wise. The conceptual fluctuations within and among disciplines require continual updates of conceptual readings. The content becomes richer when shared among disciplines and is transformed with a redefinition. With this in mind, the chapters of this book, penned by 14 academics from five countries, are designed to pave the way for novel conceptual and consensual readings aligning in a smooth and interrelated combination of different contents.
Les concepts en langue, en littérature, en traduction et, plus généralement, en sciences sociales ont tendance à être souples et flexibles sur le plan du contenu. Les flottements conceptuels au sein des disciplines et entre elles exigent des mises à jour continues des lectures conceptuelles. Le contenu s'enrichit au fur et à mesure qu'il est partagé entre les disciplines et se transforme avec une redéfinition. C'est dans cet esprit que les chapitres de cet ouvrage, rédigés par quatorze universitaires de cinq pays, sont conçus pour ouvrir la voie à de nouvelles lectures conceptuelles et à de nouveaux consensus notionnels.

Ahmet Kürşat Albayrak Art has been a dynamie foree that humans have been eagerly exploring for eenturies, revealing itself through the works of artists. This remains true today, but ehanging societal fractures highlight the inspiring power of art and its impaet on people through artists even more distinetly. in this book, an attempt has been made to evaluate a segment of the relationship between the artist and their environment, opportunities, and materials through art and the environment from the perspeetive of societies. Efforts have been made to present views on coneepts sueh as art and artistle movements throughout the proeess. it is inevitable that the artist, driven by their circumstanees and curiosity, explores new avenues, and this inevitably affeets their artistle works.
Events and situations ereate new fractures in the artist's mirror. Furthermore, artists possess a pereeptive and sensitive nature. We bring forth the aesthetie sensitivity hidden within us through the artist's work, or our spiritual state becomes enriched with art, gaining momentum and providing us with clues for living a dynamic life. Any contribution or critique regarding this study is welcome. Our work eonsists of three parts. The first part addresses aestheties and the environment, while the second part discusses the influenees shaping the artist, including their artistle movements or beliefs. The third part aims to explore how materials and teehniques in painting leave traees on students. Our greatest wish is for this study to serve as a beneficial eompass for art enthusiasts.

Hasan Kazak, Bilge Afşar, Orhan Çeker, Osman Okka An integrated system, Islam consists of several subsystems. The economy has an important place in these sub-systems. In this respect, Islam also includes regulations on economic growth and development. Undoubtedly, the most important of these regulations is the zakat institution. Zakat was mentioned in many parts of Koran with the prayer, accepted as the pillar of religion in many places and an important message that zakat and prayer should not be separated was given.
The most known and prominent feature of the zakat institution is its contribution to the fair distribution of national income, which is an important indicator in terms of economic development. A lot of work has been written on this subject and this issue has been mentioned in almost every sermon of Islamic scholars. However, the zakat institution has much more significance and benefits in terms of economic growth and development process.
The main purpose of this study is to create a resource for the qualitative and quantitative studies that will be carried out, by revealing other contributions of zakat to economic growth and development, which are not in the foreground but are actually much more functional as well as its other well-known contribution to income distribution.

Özgür Demirtaş A good leader is someone who can recognize the talents of their employees and has a strong intuition for selecting the most appropriate employees for the job. A great leader can recognize greatness in others, not only in themselves. They look for employees who deserve to be promoted within their organization. For an organization, one payoff of hiring a suitable leader is that its business will continue to grow as there will be right individuals hired for the right positions.
Every department in an organization has its own leader. Yet, a larger organization is still in need of a highly recognizable figure that will be responsible for making sure that the leadership figure in each department of the business is on the same page and completely understands the short and long-term goals of the business.

Vedat Martin İNCE Günümüzde, dünyada yaygın olarak kullanılan ortak yabancı dillerden birisi de Almancadır. Türkiye’ye her yıl milyonlarca Alman veya yabancı dili Almanca olan turist gelmektedir. Bu nedenle, ülkemizde Almanca bilmek bir ayrıcalık konumundadır; ancak buna rağmen bu ihtiyacın karşılanabileceği eğitim kurumlarında, yerli imkânlar ile üretilmiş eğitim malzemesi yok denecek kadar az ve olanlar da temel iletişim amacıyla kullanılmasını öğretmek açısından çok yetersizdir. İşte bu nedenle “Eisberg” adlı kitap hazırlanmıştır.
1. Kitabın ağırlık noktasını konuşma kalıpları, kelime hazinesi ve temel diyaloglar oluşturmaktadır. Bunların yanında dil bilgisi de ihmal edilmemiştir.
2. Görsel malzemeler hem sınıf içinde hem sınıf dışındaki faaliyetlerde öğretim elemanlarına ve öğrencilere yardımcı olacak ve onların yükünü hafifletecektir.
3. Konu anlatımları ve yönergeler, Türkçe açıklamalarla birlikte verilmiştir.
4. Kelime hazinesi, temel ihtiyacı karşılayacak kelimelerden oluşmaktadır.
5. Dil bilgisinin ağır konuları yerine, daha temel konulara yer verilmiş; detaya girilmemiştir.

Gökhan Murat Üstündağ Even though there is large literature on mass political culture, indeed, there is so limited number of works on elite political culture. To my knowledge, there is no scholarly work examining Turkish elite political culture after the 1990s. In this regard, main purpose of this research is to fill this gap by shedding a new light on basic aspects of elite political culture in Turkey. In order to explore the basic aspects of elite political culture in Turkey, the ideology of conservatism which is argued to be “dominant” ideology in Turkey was used in this study. In this regard; the Justice and Development Party elite was taken as case study and the records of Grand National Assembly between 2002 and 2016 were analyzed by applying critical discourse analysis based on interpretivist epistemology. As such in this study, the basic aspects of elite political culture, and concomitantly basic principles of Turkish conservatism were examined in a systematic way.

Ahmet Demirden, Buğra Sarı, Hakan Kıyıcı, Murat Tınas Terrorism studies are significant for a number of reasons. The findings can inform the policy and decision makers on multifac­eted levels, including evidence based policy, and prevention as well as rehabilitation programs. As it was observed, the following 9/11 ter­rorist attacks, states and communities tend to react ideological violence in an unstructured manner based on the common-sense perception of threats. As such, terrorism studies have considerably amplified with an objective of providing policy makers and practitioners with evidence based findings. Terrorism studies can also be described as a versatile field for collaboration among various fields, from international rela­tions to forensic psychology and public administration. In line with this understanding, the present book compromised of a number of multidisciplinary contemporary issues in terrorism studies, including (i) Anti-government extremism (AGE), (ii) Nexus between organized crime and terrorist groups, (iii) Exploitation of children by terrorist groups, (iv) Non-state actors in counter radicalization, and (v) International efforts of combatting terrorism in pandemic environment. The multidisciplinary perspective in the content of the book provides the reader with emerging issues in terrorism in a comparative framework.

Bahar Çelik “English for Future” is designed not only to teach English to children and young people, but also to use English as a tool to help them acquire the soft skills they will need in the future, such as “self-control, design thinking, collaborative work, proper use of technology, problem solving, critical and creative thinking”.
The lesson plans and activity suggestions prepared in accordance with the 5E model, the advantages of which are recognized by professionals, are designed in a way that teachers can adapt them into their own lessons, as well as a useful resource that can serve as a guide for young people who prefer self-directed learning. The topics are based on themes that will support the personal and academic skills of our students by examining the curricula of countries that have proven their success in education. We hope that it will be useful to education stakeholders...

Aarti Garg, Adalet Hazar, Anjali Rana, Avichal Sharma, Chintalapati Neelima Rani, Karnabir Singh Sidhu, Kavita Dahiya, Nil Çağlar Bektaş, Pallavi Pandey, Parveen Garg, Rajender Kapil, Rajinder Kapil, Rajwinder Kaur, Şenol Babuşcu, Simarpreet Kaur, Simranjit Singh, Sunita Kamboja, Tripti Sharma, Wishey Kataria The processes of leading and managing an organization are collectively referred to as "corporate governance:' Corporate governance is supposed to foster management that is both innovative and conservative so that a company can be set up for long-term success. This is done for the purpose of ensuring that a firm is set up for success in the future. On the other hand, good governance is fundamentally about boosting openness and accountability within existing procedures; as a result, it may have significant benefits to the non-listed sector. in recent years, it has become increasingly customary to apply the term "corporate" to characterize governance and accountability concerns outside of the commercial realm. This usage of the term "corporate" has gained popularity. in light of recent developments, the parameters of corporate governance have become more expansive, and the incorporation of entrepreneurial activity is now part of this framework.
Corporate entrepreneurship is the practice of fostering an entrepreneurial mindset and ethos within an established company in order to develop new lines of business, goods, or services in order to increase the company's value and revenue. This can be accomplished by encouraging employees to think like entrepreneurs and by providing them with opportunities to act as entrepreneurs themselves. The spirit of entrepreneurship in the workplace cultivates an environment that is conducive to the development of new concepts and opportunities for growth. it provides an overarching perspective on the organization's capacity to think and behave entrepreneurially, including the people, systems, and culture that are necessary for doing so successfully. Building capabilities that allow corporations to speed up the establishment of new businesses is the objective of corporate entrepreneurship, which seeks to achieve this goal by encouraging its participants.
We present the work of a number of researchers who have paid the nascent topic of entrepreneurial corporate governance the attention it warrants in this collection. Their contributions may be found throughout the book. This book is intended to serve as a guide for readers as well as business researchers who are interested in delving more deeply into the subject of entrepreneurial corporate governance.

Ömer Lütfi Taşcıoğlu La Première Guerre mondiale était une compétition pour diviser le pillage des terres ottomanes entre les grandes puissances de l'époque. Les attaques impérialistes sont venues des deux côtés. La défense de l’État (ottoman) sur le front oriental, n’a rien de différent de sa défense sur la péninsule de Gallipoli à l’ouest, en termes de sécurité de tous les peuples du pays.
Ensuite, le gouvernement n'a pas eu d'autre choix que de mettre en pratique la pratique de la déportation pour éviter la rébellion, à savoir: la trahison arménienne, qui est aujourd'hui généralement symbolisé par la date du 24 avril 1915, qui devient également une veille du "débarquement britannique à Gallipoli".
Le décret de réinstallation émis par le gouvernement ottoman visait à empêcher les résidents locaux de soutenir, de renforcer et d'inciter les mouvements arméniens agressifs, qui se battaient volontiers pour l'armée adversaire (russe) contre leur propre pays, étant eux-mêmes et aux citoyens de l'Empire ottoman. En plus de cela, sous la forme de gangs armés organisés, ils assassinaient des innocents turcs et / ou musulmans de la région.
Cette décision de réinstallation temporaire a également résolu d'autres problèmes au sein des lignes de communication logistique de l'armée et des autres lignes d'approvisionnement, qui ont été empêchés par ces gangs.
Des gangs arméniens poignardaient l'armée ottomane dans le dos, et des mutinés arméniens causaient encore d'autres maux tels que torturer et massacrer honteusement des femmes, des personnes âgées et des enfants dans les maisons turco-musulmanes laissées par les jeunes de la maison, ceux qui étaient alors occupés à mener des batailles féroces sur les lignes de front d'une guerre féroce, ce que ces gangs faisaient était exactement un "nettoyage ethnique", que dans ces circonstances, la décision de l'État était une précaution obligatoire de la situation de guerre stratégique.

Ömer Lütfi Taşcıoğlu La Primera Guerra Mundial fue una competición de repartimiento el saqueo de tierras otomanas entre las grandes potencias de la época. Los asaltos imperialistas venían por ambos lados. La defensa del Estado (Otomano) en el 'frente oriental' no era nada diferente de su defensa en la Península de Gallipoli en el occidente, en términos de la seguridad de todos los pueblos del país.
Entonces el gobierno no tenía más remedio que poner en vigor la práctica de deportación para evitar la rebelión, i.e: la traición, armenia, la que hoy suele ser simbolizada por la fecha del 24 de abril de 1915, el que también pasa a ser un día antes del 'desembarco británico en Gallipoli'.
El decreto de reubicación emitido por el Gobierno Otomano tenía la intención de impedir a los residentes locales apoyar, reforzar e instigar a los agresivos movimientos armenios, quienes voluntariamente estaban luchando por el ejército adversario (ruso) en contra a su propio país, siendo ellos mismos ya los ciudadanos del Imperio Otomano. Además de esto, en forma de unas bandas armadas que organizaban, estaban asesinando a las inocentes gentes turcas y/o musulmanas de la zona.
Esta decisión de recolocación temporaria resolvió también unos otros problemas dentro de las líneas de comunicación logísticas del ejército y las otras líneas de suministro, las que se impedían por éstas bandas.
Las pandillas armenias estaban apuñalando al ejército otomano por la espalda y los mutinos armenios causaban aun otros males como que torturaban y masacraban vergonzosamente a las mujeres, a los ancianos y a los niños en las casas turcas/musulmanes dejadas atras por los jóvenes de la casa, quienes entonces estaban ocupados luchando feroces batallas en las líneas del frente de una feroz guerra, lo que hacian aquellas bandas era exactamente una “limpieza étnica”, que en estas circunstancias, la decisión del estado era una precaución obligatoria del la situación estratégica bélica.
