Money: It is a means of exchanging and accumulating goods and services and determining their value. From past to present, commodities such as wheat, dates, hides, spears, and axes; metals such as iron, copper, gold and silver, negotiable instruments such as suftece, papers such as banknotes, and digital assets have been used as money. While these money kinds used throughout history are generally classified as commodity money, metallic money, receipt money and fiat money in the economic literature, they are classified as hilqaten/created money and ıstılahî/terminologically money in fiqh literature. Hilqaten money are currency that have a dual nature as both goods and money, as they derive their value from their own intrinsic value. Those minted from gold were used in circulation as dinars, those minted from silver as dirhams, and those with a low contribution of other metals in these coins were used in circulation as magşuş (mağlûbu'l-gış) money. Istılahî money is money that has become a measure of value when people say, "This is money" and derives its real value from an external value, not from its own intrinsic value. Those minted from metals other than gold and silver were used in circulation under the names of fülûs and those with a more contribution of other metals in these coins were used in circulation as magşuş (ğâlibu'l-gış) and settûka. Paper money, which became widespread in the 19th century, was built within a system by the economically and politically powerful states of the period, and the way in which paper money would be put into circulation was determined by international principles. In this context, from the beginning, the world paper money system generally went through four phases and took its current form. These are respectively; pre-1875 bimetallism gold and silver standard; monometallism only gold standard from 1875-1944; between 1944 and 1973 it was the gold exchange standard and after 1973 it was only the paper money standard. Before 1875, paper money in bimetallism standard system, that is, banknotes, was put into circulation as representative money in exchange for gold and silver. In the monometallism standard between 1875 and 1944, banknotes were put into circulation as representative money only in exchange for gold. In the gold exchange standard between 1944 and 1973, known as the Bretton Woods system, paper money was put into circulation in exchange for the dollar, which derived its value from gold. Thus, banknotes were traded in the markets as representative money, taking their value directly from dollars and indirectly from gold. In the current paper money standard, which is called the flexible exchange rate system after 1973, paper money is used in circulation as fiat money, deriving its value from its purchasing power only to the extent of the power of the authority that puts it into circulation. In this context quality of being measure of value, structure and kind of banknotes which emerged and spread more recently than others are explicit at many points in the economic literature, they are controversial in Islamic law. In this article, it is examined whether banknotes qualify as money according to Islamic law and, if so, what type and structure of money they are. In this context, the history, theory, and types of money have been analyzed in the economics and Fiqh literature and banknotes was substantiated in Islamic law with consideration the international monetary system. As a result, banknotes are ıstılahî a measure of value, should be subject to ijtihad according to the way it is put into circulation and it has been determined that it is a separate money as paper money, unlike dinar, dirham, fulūs etc. In this respect, paper money, which was put into circulation as receipt money directly or indirectly in exchange for gold, silver or both before 1973, should be evaluated as ıstılahî money in terms of value measure but is hilqaten money in terms of provision; after 1973, namely today, paper money that is put into circulation as fiat money in a way that derives its value from the power of the authority that puts it into circulation should be evaluated as ıstılahî money in terms of both value measure and provision.

Paper is a basic material derived from organic carbon used for writing and storing information. Books, letters, maps, and official documents are written on paper and enable the transfer of information from generation to generation. Archives and libraries provide an excellent food source for many microorganisms with their organic carbon sources and as a result, they cause biodeterioration. The rate of biodeterioration, on the other hand, depends not only on the composite properties of archival materials, but also on the environment in which they are foun In this study, which was carried out to contribute to active conservation practices, microbial samples were taken from the Department of Culture and Registration. These microbial samples belong to two works with archive numbers 756 and 759, located in the archive room of the Safranbolu collection in the central library within the Foundation Records Directorate. As a biocidal product, the active ingredients were 20% chlorhexidine digluconate, 15% polyhexanide, 3.9% lactic acid, 4.5% acetic acid and 70% ethyl alcohol, respectively. The effects of biocidal products on microorganisms were investigated by the disc diffusion method. Evaluation of the effectiveness on paper, which is important for conservation, was carried out with short and long-term aging tests, colour spectroscopy and SEM fibre degradation analyses.

Inflation, which refers to the decrease in purchasing power, is one of the prominent problems of the global economy. This problem affects all contracts related to money. On the other hand, Islamic law's approach towards the prohibition of interest is closely associated with the contracts. Indeed, in contracts made with paper money, the legal status of the contract becomes controversial when there is a depreciation in the value of the money before the contract is fulfilled and the debt is paid. For example, some jurists, citing the fatwa of Abu Yūsuf (d. 182/798), one of the founding leaders of the Hanafi school, on the change in the value of fels used as coins in transactions, argue that in case of fluctuations in the value of paper money, payment should be made according to the value at the date of the contract. Meanwhile, others argue that Abu Yusuf's opinion does not extend to paper money. In this study, I will analyze these two approaches by applying the qualitative research method in social sciences. As part of the analysis of the subject, I will comprehensively present and evaluate the views and approaches that appear in the contemporary literature. Then, I will discuss Abu Yusuf's view regarding the cause and subject matter of the debt. Thus, I will highlight the position of this view in the Hanafi madhhab literature based on historical data. I will also show whether this approach is valid for today's paper money. The main argument of those who claim that Abu Yusuf's approach to fels includes paper money is that paper money, like fels, has a nominal value. This means that the depreciation that is taken into account in fels is also taken into account in paper money. Another argument is that the change in value that is taken into account in fels, which is used as coins in transactions, will be taken into account in paper money, which is used as the main currency today. On the other hand, those who do not accept this approach argue that fels cannot be considered qiyamī because it is semen, and Abu Yusuf's opinion is limited to fels used as coins in transactions. According to the available data, I consider the arguments of those who claim that Abu Yūsuf's opinion on fels does not extend to paper money as problematic. Because one of the reasons given by those who hold the latter view is that fels cannot be equated with today's paper money since it was a type of coin that completed the fractions of dirhams in transactions. For example, according to the well-known Egyptian historian al-Maqrizī (d. 845/1442), fels were used not only as coins but also as the main currency. Therefore, the fluctuations in the value of fels, which functioned as the main currency, should be evaluated within the framework of Abu Yūsuf’s view. In addition, some Hanafi jurists expanded upon Abu Yūsuf’s view. For example, Ibn Ābidīn (d. 1307/1889), one of the leading figures of the late Hanafi school, in his treatise on the issue, evaluated the debased dirhams (maghlūb al-ghāsh/ مغلوب الغش (in the category of fels. This shows that Abu Yūsuf's approach is also applicable to today’s paper money. Therefore, we can say that Abu Yūsuf’s view on fels is also applicable to today's paper money. This is because Abu Yūsuf, as stated by Ibn Ābidīn, claims that fels is not produced as money and therefore has a nominal value. As a result, according to Abu Yūsuf's opinion regarding the fluctuation in the value of paper money, it is understood that those who claim that payment should be carried out based on the value on the day of the contract have a more accurate attitude.

Transfer of the designs to the surface of ceramic wall tiles is performed by ink-jet digital printing technology. CMYK ink colors are used in ink-jet printing technology. The similarities between hues for various color types make it difficult to come up with different designs. In this study, the development of a wall tile matte glaze recipe with high color activity, which can be worked with CMYK+Pink ink colors. Different recipes were developed by increasing the amount of calcite, dolomite, zinc oxide and magnesite ratios, respectively. Firstly, matt glaze recipes are prepared and employed on wall tile with engobe, followed by CMYK+Pink ink digital decor application. Succeeding the sintering of tiles, L,a,b color measurements of ink decorated glaze recipes were made, and it was determined that the value of 'a' increased from 15.35 to 22.18. The hue angle and chroma values of the recipies were calculated. No significant differences were observed in the color activities of the colors other than pink, and the desired pink color intensity was achieved with one of the new wall tile matte glaze recipes. It was observed that the pink color intensity increased with the increase in the amount of CaO in the content of the matte glaze recipe. The color activity of the pink color could is not obtained in the glaze recipe where the amount of ZnO increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper was discovered and spread to the world by the Chinese Civilization about 2000 years ago. Although electronic media is used instead of paper, the use of paper continues to be used for magazines, journals, essential documents, records, and books. Besides, the use of paper for various packages is quite high. The raw material of the paper consists mainly of wood. Hence, the use of waste paper as the raw material in the manufacture of paper is growing nowadays. As a consequence, the storage, transportation, and recycling of waste paper have become an issue of waste management. The amount of paper waste in universities, one of the public institutions, was investigated in this study. Waste papers collected from the Seyitler and City Campuses of Artvin Coruh University was tracked for one year. It was calculated from the study that a total of 2,179 kg of paper waste was obtained in one year. It was found that the monthly average per person was 0.045 kg and the annual average was 0.49 kg. It was observed that the papers were collected in a temporary storage area and given to scrap paper collectors at certain periods. This study is aimed to be a pioneering study of waste paper inventory studies to be carried out in public institutions aiming at zero waste. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, in which the adsorption of Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions with the carbonization product obtained from the carbonization of paper mill waste sludge at different temperatures for two hours, it was observed that the adsorption efficiency increased with the increase of the carbonization temperature. The adsorption efficiency of Cd(II) ions depends largely on the pH of the environment. By contacting the 100 mg/L solution of Cd(II) with the carbonization product at 300, 400 and 500 °C at a dose of 5 g/L for 240 min at pH 5.5, the current Cd(II) ions were 45.3%, 52.4% and 61% removed. These values increased to 56%, 65.3% and 73.4% when the initial concentration of Cd(II) ions was taken as 50 Mg/L. When the dose was applied as 20 g/L for the initial concentration of 100 mg/L, all of the existing Cd (II) ions (except the carbonization product at 300 °C) were adsorbed. The results obtained for each carbonization product were applied to the Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms. The cadmium adsorption kinetics were defined with a second order model and the cadmium adsorption isotherm was determined to fit the Langmuir model better. The applicability of the results to the isotherm equations and the changes in the value of the isotherm constants depending on the carbonization temperature were examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A4 paper is the most widely used paper type that is produced by using wood-free writing & printing paper with the least amount of wood in its structure. A4 size paper is produced by cutting large and long rolls in width and length directions. The construction of this machine is not made in Turkey. In this study, a prototype designed for a paper cutting machine is presented. For this prototype, step motors are used that can be set at different speeds and polyamide rollers are used to transfer the paper from one line to another without tearing. Some problems that is encountered for the designed paper cutting machine are discussed and some analyses are made to solve these problems. It has been found that the misalignment of the shaft axes during the transfer of the paper and the not suitable construction of the shafts causes the non-uniform cutting of the paper. It is also observed that the speed of the motor must the paper adjusted at an appropriate rate, to avoid the stretch and break of paper. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to clinically and histopathologically evaluate the efficiency of different applications of medical ozone on corneal healing in the treatment of experimentally induced corneal alkali burns with sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in rabbits. For this purpose, 6 mm diameter filter paper impregnated with 1 N NaOH was applied to the central cornea of only the right eyes of 32 New Zealand rabbits for 1 min. The rabbits were randomly divided into four groups. The treatment continued for 21 days at three-day intervals. The first group was left as the control group (K) and was not applied medical ozone. The control group received no treatment. Subconjunctival ozonated blood was applied to the second group (M). Subconjunctival medical ozone was applied to the third group (S). Major autohemotherapy was applied to the fourth group (O). As a result of clinical and histopathological evaluations, highest degree of regeneration and healing findings in corneal tissues were in the M group. This was followed by O and S groups, respectively. The highest corneal tissue damage was observed in the cases belonging to group K. The cases closest to normal stromal thickness belonged to group M. It was noted that the K group had the highest stromal thickness and the farthest value from normal. In the light of the clinical, statistical and histopathological findings, different application techniques of medical ozone treatment in corneal alkali burn were found to significantly reduce complications compared to the control group and accelerate corneal reepithelization.

The aim of this study is to introduce Theory of Semiotic Mediation, which is a theory regarding mathematics teaching, in Turkey and provide an example for its practice. After describing the main characteristics and concepts of the theory, semiotic potential of a sheet of paper, which was chosen as an artifact of Theory of Semiotic Mediation, was analyzed in paper folding activities in order to discuss the practice of the theory and also the signs were analyzed that occurred in the building and conceptual constructing of quadrilaterals with only one symmetry axe (isosceles trapezoid and rhombus). The study was a case study which was carried out with 35 students who were studying in 10th grade. The students were divided into groups of four and five. Only one groups’ activity was reported in this paper. The analysis of the semiotic potential of paper folding showed that it was an artifact that helps students to reconstruct concepts such symmetry and equality by means of coincide and crease and to think deeply on the characteristics of quadrilaterals like rectangle, square, trapezoid and etc. which students have already known. The paper has properties that can be used as an artifact of the Semiotic Mediation Theory. In order to be used the mentioned theory in classes, it was founded that teachers’ guidance role was quite essential. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, investigates recycling possibilities of office paper in archive form (stored for at least 5 years). These papers are mostly made by burning. This is to destroy tons of paper raw materials. These papers may be presented with a simple pulping or recycling with small fractionation. This will contribute greatly to the country's economy. The study will also look at the physical and optical properties of these papers. These papers are likely to lose fiber resistance and brightness due to the physical conditions (humidity, temperature) and the mushrooms and insects. In addition, loss of the shine and resistance of the fibers will come to the fore when the ink is removed from these papers. How much of these losses are in the study will be investigated. This will be done in conjunction with a number of applications to compensate for losses. With these operations, tons of waste paper raw materials will be obtained and new waste white office paper will be produced with the desired quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: This paper aims to find out the factors that are likely to increase the citation impact of Turkey-addressed international papers. Method: For this purpose, we downloaded bibliographic records of some 226,000 TR-addressed papers that were published between 2006 and 2015, there from selected a sample (2%) using stratified probabilistic sampling technique, and obtained relevant data from various sources such as the number of citations and coauthors, journal impact factors (JIF) and journal quartiles pertaining to each paper in the sample. We then identified 19 independent variables on article, journal, cooperation, support and access levels and analyzed the data using the hurdle model. Findings: The strongest factors increasing the number of citations of TR-addressed papers are five-year JIFs and journal quartiles (Q1) in which TR-addressed papers appeared and the number of references in papers' reference lists. These factors also reduce the number of papers with zero citations. Papers published in cooperation with other countries collect higher numbers of citations. Factors such as the subjects of papers, whether papers received monetary support or not, and methods by which papers can be accessed (open or closed access) have no impact on the number of citations received. Implications: Findings indicate that academic promotion and support policies encouraging publishing in high impact journals while forestalling publishing in low impact journals should be developed in order to increase the scientific impact of TR-addressed papers. Originality: This is the first study using hurdle model to investigate the direct impact of several article, journal, collaboration, monetary support and access level explanatory variables on the number of citations that TR-addressed papers receive.

Intensive Care Units (ICU) are units where vital support with advanced technology is given to critically ill patients and multidisciplinary approaches are frequently applied. As we all see during the pandemic, the ICU beds are limited in number; therefore, appropriate use of ICU beds is very important to give the necessary treatment to patients on time while allocating the resources rationally and efficiently. Practices to be implemented for this purpose may cause conflicts between the patients, relatives of the patients, the society and the healthcare team. It is crucial to prevent these conflicts and to ensure that they are resolved properly when they arise. This policy paper prepared by Turkish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infection (Klimik), Turkish Society of Intensive Care and Turkish Bioethics Association brings suggestions to physicians and healthcare administrators regarding the rational use of intensive care units. We presume that it will be effective as supported by the professional organizations and medical associations operating in our country. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Ottoman State was in a condition of insufficient preparation as it entered the First World War, which would determine its fate. This war had brought domestic production to a halt and created great obstacles to imported products. In this war, which started in 1914 and lasted for four years, the state suffered great losses in terms of economic, military, political and humanity, while the people behind the war suffered great scarcity. Especially in basic consumer products such as flour, milk, cheese and butter, prices increased excessively. This scarcity and price increase were not limited to food and other essential necessities. As a matter of fact, the scarcity of paper, which is a significant material in education, was felt seriously in this period. The fact that the available paper stocks were finished in a short time and the lack of paper caused the education, press and broadcasting activities to be disrupted. Even, the lack of paper reached the level that would prevent the usual activities in government offices. In this study, the paper scarcity that emerged in many parts of the state, especially in Istanbul during the war period between 1914-1918, attempts to supply the paper, the influences of the lack of paper and the activities of the Manager of the Government Printing Office, Mr. Ismail Hamit will be examined.

Rapid developments and innovations in information technologies necessitated transformation in accounting practices. In this process, accounting applications were moved from paper to electronic environment and applications such as e-invoice, e-ledger, e-declaration, e-reconciliation came into effect. Thanks to this transformation, the functions of accounting became faster, easier and less costly. In this ever-increasing environment of rapid development and change, it has become very important for professional accountants to follow new technological developments and renew their knowledge according to the requirements of the age. In this research, it is aimed to determine the technology usage levels of accounting professionals. For this purpose, a research was carried out on the members of the profession operating in the Gaziantep region. Questionnaire method was used in the research. As a result of the research, it has been determined that technological products are very important in professional work for the majority of professional accountants and the biggest obstacle in the adoption of Industry 4.0 in the field of accounting is customer resistance.

Nowadays, the increasing competition is forcing companies to make more consistent and accurate decisions about supplier selection. When the paper production sector is discussed, cellulose which is the main raw material for paper production is obtained from various suppliers. In addition, the supplier selection decision has a complex structure that includes many qualitative and quantitative criteria and a large number of decision makers. By the way, there are feedback and mutual interactions within the problem. For these reasons, Analytical Network Process method has been preferred as a solution method in this study. Using the relevant method, four different alternative suppliers have been evaluated in terms of the four most commonly used criteria (quality, price, delivery and service) in the literature and the sub-criteria of these criteria and the best alternative has been chosen.

I feel like I need to put emphasis on the verb barındır- in detail because I frequently came across with this verb in scientific papers, thesis studies, essays and notices; and I also realized that the verb barındır- was used instead of other verbs which have a different and detailed meaning. Therefore; I increased the number of examples that I found in thesis studies and essays, which I directly examined, as well as the general network through which I searched for the verb barındır- and I made an assessment over these examples. During this search, the verb barındır- which was used in a few essays on law, foreign language teaching and tourism apart from the knowledge of state of being Turkish was also included in the examples. I did not explain the sources of the examples due to scientific ethics. Prior to the essay, semantic fields of simple and derived versions of the verb in its historical process were indicated; opinions about the root and stem meaning of this verb were evaluated; examples in which the researchers preferred the verb barındır- in today's scientific papers were shown, then it was tried to prove that the verb shelter and the verb barındır- was initially used in the meaning of "being present in a place, earning one's keep, sheltering, supplying an accommodation for someone to live" while this meaning has recently been expanded to new connotations which are closely related to the main meaning. When the researchers, for whatever reason, used the verb barı-/barındır- differently from its meaning in the past, it caused a semantic extension; and the verbs which had a semantic extension were digressed from their own areas of use by being included within the conceptual field of the verb barındır-. This study has been written up for throwing light upon this instant / simultaneous process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Energy is an important in put for economic and industrial development and an indispensable production input for the continuation of the production process. In a very large part of economic and social life, electrical energy is widely used because of its easy usage and other advantages. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the production of paper and paper products and the gross national product, which is an indicator of economic growth, on the consumption of electricity by panel data analysis. For this purpose, a panel data set was established for 20 OECD countries between 2006 and 2016 from Eurostat and Wordbank. Crosssectional dependence, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation assumptions were tested for the model and deviations from the assumptions were observed. Parameters were estimated using the Driscoll-Kraay estimators, which are resistant to these deviations. As a result of the analysis, it was found that an increase of 1% in the production of paper and paper products increased the electrical energy consumption by 0.22%, the increase of 1% in the per capita gross domestic product increased approximately 0.62% in electricity consumption.

Capacitated lot sizing is a frequently encountered production-planning problem in manufacturing companies. However, many real life factors are usually not taken into account during the model development phase for these problems. In this study, an integrated lot-sizing and scheduling problem of a paper bag production firm is considered. A mixed integer mathematical programming model is proposed for modeling and solving the problem. Setup cost/time between product and period changes are considered in the proposed model. It is aimed to minimize the total cost of production, holding inventory, backorder, procurement and setup for product type change and product period change. It is observed that productive utilization of manufacturing resources and the generation of more effective production plans are possible by the application of the proposed model.

In accordance with global migration trends, Russian geography became a source of emigration starting from the mid-19th century. On the other hand, following their independence in the early 19th century, Latin American countries became recipients of migration waves from different countries, including multinational Eurasian states such as Ottoman, Russian, and Austria-Hungarian empires. The migration wave from Russian Empire to Latin America started around the 1850s and lasted until the collapse of the empire in 1917. Argentina was the leading destination of emigration for the early migrant Russian citizens who were then officially called the “Ruso” and came from various ethnic and religious backgrounds. Within the context of this paper, which focuses on the migration and adaptation processes of Ruso immigrants in Argentina, the social, economic, cultural, and religious dimensions of their new lives are discussed. The paper concludes that early Ruso immigrants eventually constituted a labor diaspora and, despite being ethnically and religiously the most heterogeneous migrant movement from the Russian geography, Russian language, and culture continued their dominancy in the lives of at least the first immigrant generation.

This notice of correction was written on the detection that some of the journals in the paper entitled "A Research on Turkey-Addressed Dropped Journals from Web of Science" were not removed from the Web of Science. This was mainly due to the change of names of journals and their ISSNs. Since the information about the journals that were removed from the Web of Science were obtained from Clarivate Analytics, there were some erroneous information about these journals in the aforementioned study. The "Findings and Discussion" part of this study was rewritten after the corrections. The new analyses and corrections do not change the basic findings of the study, as well as its results. The authors of the study apologize to all the stakeholders regarding the previous version of the study because of their using of the Clarivate Analytics data, which led to the impression that some journals were not included in the Web of Science, although they are in fact still being indexed.

In this study, paper processing residues containing a large extent cellulosic fibrous with inorganic filler such as calcite and clay minerals were used in the manufacturing of high density polyethylene (HDPE) composite. The residues ranging from 10 to 60wt% were loaded into HDPE in order to evaluate the effect of the paper processing residue filler on mechanical properties of HDPE. The composites were produced using mixing process by a high-speed thermo-kinetic mixer and molding process. Mechanical properties of the produced composites were analyzed using standard test methods. According to results, it was observed that the flexural modulus of composites increased with increasing filler contents. Especially, the flexural strength was increased by 26.3% for the 40wt% filler content. The tensile strength of paper industry mill residues filled HDPE composites exhibited an increase of 10-20% compared to that of HDPE matrix. Consequently, in the present study, paper processing residues filler without any modifying agent was used for the production of HDPE composites having better mechanical properties compared to HDPE. Thus, paper processing residues which have no economic value and cause an environmental problem have served as a filler material for HDPE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The most basic requirement of our modern age is the use of technology. The educational process is directly affected by these requirements and relevant changes. Especially the materials used in the educational processes are replaced mostly with the technology-based materials. The smart boards that have replaced the black boards, the tablet PCs that are candidates to replace the books and notebooks of the students are among the most concrete indicators of this change. The purpose of the study is to determine the understanding levels of the Primary School 4th Graders on the texts, whose readability levels are the same, read from paper and from the screen, and to reveal the viewpoints of the teachers and students on reading from the screen. For this purpose, the results of the Success Test applied to the students about the texts read from the paper and from the screen, and the viewpoints of the teachers and students on reading from the screen were evaluated. The study was conducted with thirty-nine 4th Grade students of a Primary School located in Yenimahalle County of Ankara, and three Class Teachers who worked at the same school. The students and the teachers were selected with the Random Sampling method. Printed texts and texts in digital medium whose readability levels were the same were used in the study to collect the data. In addition to this, structured interviews were made with the students and the teachers. The numerical data of the study were analyzed with the SPSS 15 Package Program. The interview questions were analyzed with the Content Analysis Method. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that there was a significant difference between reading from printed material and from the screen, and the academic success levels of the students in favor of the reading from printed material. In addition, it was also determined that there were differences between the teacher and student viewpoints on reading from printed material and from screen. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study operating pressure driven systems which is known their efficiency in literature, for paper and pulp industry wastewaters in batch conditions were executed by using NFloose/NFtight membrane combination. The batch NFloose/NFtight experiments were respectively applied at 12 and 20 bars by conventional membrane filtration process, at a stirring rate of 300 cycle/min, at pH 10 and at a temperature of 25 °C. Determination of most suitable membrane at batch operating conditions were made by using 8 different membranes (for NFloose NP010, NFG, MPF36 and CK3001 and for NFtight NP030, NF270, DS-5DK, ESNA) through organic matter removal and filtrate flux values. In NFloose membranes at a filtrate flux of 4.12 L/m² h removal of 61.0% TOC and 76.9% COD and MPF36 membrane was determined to be best NFloose membrane. The filtrate water obtained by MPF36 were later passed through NFtight membranes. In all NFtight membranes generally the organic matter removal efficiency was good and ESNA was selected to be the best membrane in terms of effluent quality by obtaining organic matter removal at rates of 93.9% TOC and 94.2% COD with 10.05 L/m² h filtrate flux. From this point of view, in short term operation of paper wastewaters by pressure driven NFloose/NFtight integrated membrane system, it was seen that good quality of outlet water with 7.15 pH and a conductivity coefficient of 144 μS/cm and at 13 mg/L TOC and 28 mg/L COD concentrations could be obtained also that good quality of reuse water could be produced in terms of aimed effluent water.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the paper and screen reading skills of the 4th-grade elementary students according to some variants. 102 students in total from four schools in Çanakkale Province participated in the research. Research data were gathered by Reading Skills Scale developed by Obalar (2009) and Screen Reading Preference Levels Scale validity and credibility tests of which is carried out by the researchers. In the research, students were made to read texts which are at the same level from the paper one by one in different environments, 2 observers evaluated the reading skills of the students and the data was obtained by applying Screen Reading Preference Levels Scale to the same students. Analysis of the data was carried out by SPSS 21.0 programme. While the analysis of the data was carried out in line with the sub-goals, as for the descriptive analyses, results of frequency, percentage, arithmetic average and standard deviation are used as descriptive statistics. After the hypothesis testing, it was decided to carry out Pearson correlation test for relationship analyses, independent sample t-Test for the difference analyses in accordance with gender variable, Kruskall Wallis H test for difference analysis in accordance with the weekly time to read books variables. The significance level was taken to be (p), 05.It was suggested that screen reading preference levels did notdemonstrate a meaningful difference according to the gender variant, paper reading skill levels demonstrated a meaningful difference according to the gender variant in favour of female students. It was understood that 82,4% of the students preferred screen reading at a medium level and paper reading skill levels of 49% of the students were at a partially sufficient level as well. Also, a meaningful relationship between the weekly time to read books and screen reading preference was not found, and a relationship which is in a positive direction, meaningful at a small level emerged between the weekly time to read books and paper reading skills. There isn't a meaning relationship between students' weekly time to read books and screen reading preferences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Rags used in the papermaking as raw materialis collected from garbage or second hand cloths from households. In the nineteenth century, the paper production technology developed and it simultaneously caused an increase in the demand for rags. The domination of England and the USA in the paper industry also made them the largest importers of the material. As a result of the competition between the two countries, the rag prices increased in Europe and some European countries prohibited the rag exporting for protecting their paper industries. Therefore the two countries turned towards the Ottoman port cities. This study primarily aims to examine the papermaking and rag sector in the Ottoman Empire and to understand how the internal market was affected and fluctuated after the Western countries' interest in the Ottoman rag market. Afterwards it aims to follow how this sector transformed and organized in the cities with the capital inflowing. In addition, the paper puts forward some views on the formal and informal line of papermaking industry and rag pickers, relationship between the sector and municipal sanitary reforms.

From the classical period of Arabic literature known as the Jahiliyyah era to the modern era, the portrayal of women has been a recurring element across various literary genres. Whether in poetry or prose, one of the themes frequently utilized by writers and poets is the concept of womanhood. In the ghazal genre of Jahiliyyah poetry, women typically manifested themselves within the contexts of love and admiration; whereas in modern Arabic literature, particularly in the genre of short stories, women emerge as significant elements upon which authors focus and whom they integrate as main characters in their works. Short story writers from various regions of the Arab world have penned narratives concerning women who strive to assert themselves within society, contending as liberated individuals within patriarchal structures. Unlike many Arab short story writers who predominantly engage with political and ideological subjects such as the Palestinian issue, Ulfet al-Idlibi, a prominent Syrian author renowned for her short stories, adopts a distinctive approach in her depiction and utilization of female characters. Rather than delving into politically charged narratives, al-Idlibi's stories center on the institution of family and the role of women within it within her societal context. Possessing a realist perspective, al-Idlibi draws inspiration directly from her environment and society in crafting her narratives. Consequently, themes related to women in her stories encompass the position and value of women within traditional Syrian families, the challenges encountered by women within family life, and the struggle for existence among family members amid traditional customs and contemporary trends. Her story "The Blue Curtains" (الزرق الستائر (serves as an exemplar of her stylistic approach. "The Blue Curtains" primarily narrates the plight of a family on the brink of collapse due to their inability to conceive children. The protagonist, portrayed as the narrator, finds himself torn between appeasing his mother's demands for him to divorce his current wife—who has been unable to bear children—and marry a younger woman from the neighborhood in hopes of having offspring. However, the protagonist, despite his harmonious relationship with his wife, whom he loves deeply and remains devoted to, is reluctant to divorce her. Implicit within this conventional narrative lies the juxtaposition of three distinct female characters: the mother, representing traditional culture; the neighbor girl, who prioritizes her own interests even at the expense of breaking up a family; and the protagonist's wife, portrayed as the most significant character in the story following the narrator himself. Al-Idlibi portrays the woman within the Syrian societal framework through these three typified characters, each embodying different facets of familial conflict. This paper, based on the example of the short story "The Blue Curtains", explores the position of women in Ülfet al-Idlibi's stories and their reflection in literature. It begins by providing a brief history of the short story in Arabic literature and delves into the life, works, and literary persona of Ülfet al-Idlibi. Subsequently, it examines how the author addresses and portrays female characters in her various stories through examples from different narratives. The focus then shifts to the analysis of "The Blue Curtains", exploring its plot, characters, time and space limitations, character profiles—especially those of the female characters—narrative perspective, and stylistic features such as language and tone. The paper concludes with a translation of the short story as an appendix. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to objectively examine the criticisms feminist theologians have directed at the concept of a masculine God in Judaism and Christianity, and the consistency of these criticisms. Additionally, the antiwomen views attributed to theology in Judaism and Christianity due to patriarchal and social pressures and their consequences are investigated. By utilizing critical, interpretative, and holistic methods of analysis, we strive to create a context to explore issues such as whether the religions of Judaism and Christianity are/are not monopolized by men as feminist theologians claim, the alleged dominance of patriarchal mentality in this regard, and the language of religion has always been used by men. Furthermore, this paper examines the different teachings on gender roles, contemporary debates on gender equality in various societies, and the definitions of male and female roles developed by Judaism and Christianity. From this perspective, feminist theology emphasizes the association of religious texts with gender and advocates for women's voice in the theological discourse. Feminist theology criticizes the notion of a masculine God and male-dominated mindset with various arguments, asserting that this idea exists in Judaism and Christianity. The primary goal of feminist theology is to eliminate generalizations about women, especially in theological contexts. It also seeks to demonstrate that women, like men, have a voice in theological matters. Feminist theology is a discipline that examines and critiques gender issues within the religious domain. This discipline re-evaluates and critiques religious texts and practices that have traditionally been interpreted from a masculine perspective. Feminist theologians criticize the attribution of theological teachings, passed down through generations, to a single gender. The aim of feminist theology is to reshape religious experience and belief on the basis of gender equality and justice. It critically assesses traditionally male-dominated religious doctrines, texts, and practices, advocating for changes in current practices. Feminist theology, playing a significant role in gender issues within religion, contributes to moving towards a more just and equitable structure, supporting women's increased visibility and influence in religious fields. It provides a significant contribution to understanding the relationships between gender and religious matters more deeply and creating a more just society. This paper will address the issues tackled by feminist theology, their solutions, and the criticisms directed at the concept of a masculine God. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The debate over the unity or division of sciences is a significant topic in the history and philosophy of science. From ancient philosophers to today, scientists have attempted to unify, classify, or segment the sciences. Greek philosophers approached this issue through the concepts of “One” and “Many.” For instance, Parmenides focused on static substances, whereas Heraclitus emphasized becoming and flux. Empedocles pointed to the four elements, Democritus to atoms, Pythagoras to numbers, Plato to forms, and Aristotle to categories. In the Islamic world, Ibn Khaldun expanded the unity of sciences through social sciences, while Avicenna classified sciences based on practical and universal aspects. With the return to nature in the 16th century, sciences were reshaped through natural sciences. F. Bacon emphasized the importance of experiment and observation, categorizing sciences in a pyramid. Galileo proposed that nature is structured on mathematical symbols, while Descartes and Leibniz developed their scientific views based on Newtonian physics. Kant evaluated sciences not by searching behind phenomena but as a cognitive unity based on principles.In the modern era, positivism gained prominence. Since the 19th century, thinkers of the Vienna Circle advocated for the unity of sciences, reducing all epistemic activities to positive science. These thinkers envisaged scientific philosophy grounded in physical science. Reductionism was considered the most important method for achieving the unity of sciences. This paper will critique Fodor’s physicalism based on reductionism and defend Dupre’s idea of the disunity of sciences. Dupre argues that the reductionist method cannot be applied to special sciences like biology and that, although occasionally interacting, sciences should be considered independent modes of knowledge with their specific domains and methods. The paper will begin by presenting the historical development of the unity of sciences within the context of the philosophy of science, focusing on the views of the Vienna Circle philosophers. It will examine the thoughts of neo-positivist philosophers such as Carnap (1928, 1934) and Nagel (1961) on the unity of sciences, Hempel’s nomological-deductive explanation model (1965), and the claims of Oppenheim/Putnam (1958) regarding the unity of sciences. Subsequently, Fodor’s views on the unity of sciences will be evaluated, and physicalism based on reductionism will be analysed. After discussing the shortcomings and errors of this view, Dupre’s argument for the disunity of sciences will be examined, particularly highlighting the inapplicability of reductionism in special sciences like biology. Ultimately, it will be argued that, rather than achieving a unified science reduced to physical laws, the contemporary understanding of science is better served by recognizing the distinct and autonomous nature of different scientific fields.

This paper has focused on whether a reading of God-human relations can be made between Plato's cave allegory and al-Māturīdī's knowledge of narrative (khabar) and its functions. In the above framework, it has been noted that there are some similarities between Plato's ideas about the visible and perceptible world and al-Māturīdī's knowledge of narrative (khabar) as a type. Again, in this study, while reading the similarities through some of the themes identified, the differences were also pointed out. In the first title of the paper, the knowledge of narrative and its functions according to al-Māturīdī have been included. The first of these functions is the overlapping the knowledge of narrative in line with reality. For the verification of the knowledge of narrative, this point is important. It has also been understood that the knowledge of narrative is related to nature (fıtrah). Again, in order to eliminate social problems that cannot be eliminated by human beings, the knowledge of narrative is an important factor. The knowledge of narrative has impacted the elimination of defects about how a person can know in all aspects what are advantages and disadvantages for him. Finally, it has made it possible to correctly construct the relations between the universe, man, and God. The second title has a discussion of Plato's allegory of the cave and its essential elements. The important point here is that education in the cave allegory is not the teaching of something new, but the remembrance of what is in the human soul and the inclination of the soul towards truth. Secondly, there has been a reference in this title to the fact that voices and shadows are deceptive in the cave which is the world. It has also been indicated that it is necessary for the moral ascent in order for one to be able to reach the perceptible world. Fourthly, it has been said that whoever connects with the perceptible world can in a way remember the salvation of others. Finally, it said that there is a relationship between education and reminder. In the third place, the similarities between the foundations in the allegory of the cave and the functions of the knowledge of narrative have been mentioned. Among these analogies, it has been pointed out that the spirit in Plato and the nature in al-Māturīdī have similar functions. Secondly, the deceptiveness of the visible world in the allegory of the cave and the deceptiveness of the world in al-Māturīdī's knowledge of narrative have been pointed out. It has been mentioned that the perceptible world in Plato and the afterlife in al-Māturīdī are essential. Both Plato and al-Māturīdī are concerned with being a moral person, which is an important point. It is significant to remind with education in Plato a person who is inclined to the good or an essential and to be subject to the knowledge of narrative in al-Māturīdī. In the fourth title, attention was drawn to the differences between the functions of the cave allegory and the knowledge of narrative. Again, it has been discussed whether or not some of the questions are answered even though some of the elements are not present in the allegory of the cave. It has also been discussed whether the knowledge of the narrative can answer these questions or not. In the conclusion, the possibility that Plato's world of thought and al-Maturīdī's world of thought, despite all their differences, may have been fed by a common ground on Godhuman relations is mentioned.

The mantra of a new homeland, a new society, a new state, in which Kemalist republicanism manifested itself, corresponds to such a moment of transformation. The emergence of a brandnew regime comes with a specific ideological program. Thus, Kemalism is the name of this ideological program following the Turkish War of Independence. Yet, the mere exposition of an ideological program is not enough on its own. In this respect, Kemalism needs to unify society around its ideological program. Hence, the need for an intellectual class has arisen. In order to facilitate social mobilization around the Kemalist doctrine, there was a necessity to organize educators and nurture new generations. The ideological background that shaped all this policy-making developed under the very influence of the corporatist vision. An important function is attributed to these social organizations shaped by corporatism. This paper will question the function of the Halkevi, which were established as corporatist social bodies under the One-Party rule, in the formation of new generations. The paper will also investigate how the nationalist conservative figures raised in Adana Halkevi evolved into anti-communist intelligentsia, subsequent to the transition to Multi-Party Life.

This paper intends to elaborately describe the Chaghatai manuscripts at the library of the Uzbek Zawiya in Jerusalem. The images of the manuscripts digitalized by the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library are used for this purpose. All the data based on the photos are compared with the information provided by both the printed and digital catalogs prepared for the manuscripts. Identified deficiencies have been completed and errors have been corrected. This paper consists of an introduction and three main chapters. Aspects making Jerusalem sacred for Muslims, the fact that Jerusalem has been a holy route for Muslim dervishes and pilgrims throughout history, and the lodges and quarters built in this city during the reign of the Ottomans for dervishes and pilgrims who came from around the Muslim world, particularly Central Asia, are stated in the introduction. The location, architecture, services, and history of the Uzbek Zawiya, which was one of the destinations of visitors who transported various cultural goods from their homeland to Jerusalem, are mentioned in the first chapter. The library of the zawiya, comprised of manuscripts transported here from different Islamic areas, is expressed in the second chapter. The Chagatai manuscripts at the library are described in the third chapter. Manuscripts, including Chagatai texts, are elaborately explained in every way, and transcribed texts taken from samples of the manuscripts are presented in the last chapter. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study proportional integral derivative control of pH which is the output variable of paper mill wastewater treatment process with electrocoagulation has been performed. Flow rates of 0.1 M HCl and 0.1 M NaOH solutions have been chosen as manipulated variables. Firstly dynamic analysis and system identification studies have been carried out. pH data was collected by giving step changes to acid and base flow rates and auto regressive moving average with external input models were obtained by using recursive least squares method for each process where pH affected by acid and base flow rates respectively. Models were used in theoretical proportional integral derivative control program coded in MATLAB to determine optimum proportional integral derivative controller parameters by trial and error method. These parameters were then used in real time proportional integral derivative controller coded in MATLAB/Simulink to perform experimental studies. When coordinated control is applied to process by using acid and base flow rates as manipulated variables, pH value ranged from 5 to 11 and it is shown that the highest removal efficiency of turbidity and colour are 98.6% and 99.4%, respectively.

The project of modernity, which started in the last period of the Ottoman Empire, turned into a planned action in the country with the Republic of Turkey. In this context, within the project of modernity, planned development for economic independence and the development of industry were given importance. The İzmir Economy Congress (1927) and the First Five-Year Industry Plan (1934) ensured the realization of industrial investments in this process. These investments were seen as the elements that sustain the revolutions and the basic requirements for economic/social development and were realized by the state. As one of the first steps in the modernization process of the country, the Kocaeli SEKA Paper Factory area is a concrete example where the stages of this process can be followed. With the global crisis in the second half of the 20th century, the service sector began to become a predominant sector in industrial cities. Industrial areas, which used to be located in city centers in the past, started to be decentralized towards the periphery. In this process, production areas in city centers began to lose their usability in terms of both location and production due to technological obsolescence. With its locations covering large areas in city centers, it has become attractive in terms of new uses. The need to maintain these areas, which are also important in terms of urban history, except for their original functions, but maintaining the value created by the original function, has revealed the concept of industrial heritage. After the transfer of the SEKA area, whose functioning ended, to the municipality in 2005, it was aimed to reuse. This area, which is important for the history of the city, needs to be evaluated within the scope of the concept of industrial heritage, apart from its original functions, but maintaining the value created by the original function. In this study, the coastline, historical and industrial structures of SEKA, which affects the social and economic structure of the city, will be evaluated especially with the implementation of the Sekapark Urban Transformation Project. In addition, in order to ensure the effective and efficient use of the whole area, suggestions have been developed regarding the buildings and areas that have relatively limited use in the current situation.

This study aimed to minimize the concentration obtained after the concentrate flow resulting from continuous operation of the NFloose/NFtight membrane filtration is treated through a hybrid Advanced Oxidation (Fenton and photo- Fenton)/submerged UF processes. With the MPF-36/ESNA membrane filtration, 71 mg/L COD and 19 mg/L TOC values were obtained in the final effluent. The treatment of the resultant concentrate current with the IOP/submerged UF hybrid processes, it was observed that UVC-submerged UF process provided the best performance. TOC and COD values in the UF effluent were found to be close to the values of the raw paper wastewater used and it was determined that it could be fed to the NFloose input. Thus, while water recovery is ensured, it was also observed that the minimization of the membrane concentrate through hybrid process will achieve significant contributions to concentrate waste management.

Traditionally used major techniques for creating pattern with dye on fabric surfaces are printing application using metal and wood, stencil techniques, and resist dying, which is also known as tie-dying, stich and wax resist techniques. In addition to those techniques, recently use of mabling on fabric surfaces, also referred to as paper ornamental art, has become widespread. Tokat, Kastamonu, Ankara, Bartın and Mardin were important hubs where block printing was applied intensively. In Malatya and particularly Adıyaman, aprons which were worked on with wax resist or batik-dying namely "Bervanik" and those made with tie-dying had been used in Bursa Keles for women dressing. Today, changing life conditions and life style, and comsumer preferences have led to subtantial changes in this field as in all branches of traditional art. Furthermore, mass production has taken the place of the artisanal works. However, traditional printing techniques have been used for original designs by the artists. In this presentation, new designs that are made using traditional printing techniques used alone or with other ones will be highlighted.t. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Yüzyıldan Beri Türkiye Türkçesiyle Yazılmış Kitaplardan Toplanan Tanıklarıyle Tarama Sözlüğü" (Browsing Dictionnary with testimonials collected from books written in Türkiye Turkish in 13th Century). This work is not only one of the most important Turkish dictionaries but also a significant source for researchers in terms of revealing the historical process of Turkish language. There are many aspects of negative side of human character. For instance, here human stinginess is defined as: cığan "parsimonius", his ignorance as: bilmez "ignorant" or bilüsüz "ignorant", his discouragement as: babak "coward". It is important to set which negative characters are stated in which words to reveal the richness of the world of Turkish notion, and therefore to display the power of Turkish language [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The compilation of folk narratives of Chagatay coincides with the second half of the 19th century, the period following the Russian occupation of Central Asia. The content of these compilations is varied and includes many examples of folk literature, among which proverbs are the folk phrases that have attracted the most attention from Orientalists. Arminius Vámbéry was the first to record examples of proverbs from the region, and he included them in his Ćagataische Sprachstudien, published in 1867. Vámbéry's collections inspired other scholars of the time, including the Russian orientalist Nikolai Petrovich Ostroumov. The subject of this article is the Chagatay proverbs that Ostroumov collected in Turkestan in the 1880s. Ostroumov published the first part of proverbs in 1888 under the title Poslovitsı tuzemnago naseleniya Turkestanskago kraya (Proverbs of the local people of the Turkestan region) and the second part in 1891 in Tashkent under the title Poslovitsı i pogovorki tuzemnago naseleniya Turkestanskago kraya (Proverbs and idioms of the local people of the Turkestan region). These works are very important because they are among the first compilations of proverbs, and their examples were recorded in the last period of Chagatay. At the same time, the examples of proverbs are a valuable source that contributes to the study of Chagatay in the 19th century in terms of phonetic and morphological features, as well as the vocabulary and dialectology. Ostroumov brought together both the Russian translation and the Arabic text of the proverbs in his work. In this paper, which aims to introduce the compilation in Turkey, we have transcribed the text in Arabic letters, given information about some words in the text, and tried to evaluate the proverbs in general.
