In his memoir Magellan, Stefan Zweig, while explaining the reasons for writing a book, states that "sometimes curiosity drives one to write". In Türkiye, too, there are many works on youth that are caused by academic curiosity. Therefore, youth in Türkiye has been analyzed by many disciplines in terms of literature. The diversity of literature ranges from psychology to sociology, biology to political science. What is striking in almost all of the works is that youth is accepted as a given concept. In this case, there is almost no conceptual discussion of youth in the books analyzed. The common feature of the literature in studies that can be evaluated within political science is the construction of youth as a subject. When the youth literature is evaluated in terms of the subject dimension, it reveals different construction data between 1930-1960, 1960-1980 and 1980-2010. In this study, we have tried to analyze the discourse on construction developed by books with youth as the subject. However, this study analyzes publications in which construction as a subject can be traced, while excluding studies outside the field, such as medicine or biology. When it comes to youth as a subject, the concept is evaluated not a priori but on the axis of subject-power relations. In this way, the process of defining youth as a subject on the axis of power was evaluated and expectations were tried to be revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Foreign students at the higher education level in Turkey vary in terms of the countries they come from. In the study, black African descent students who are studying in the province of Aydın, which is considered a medium-sized city with less experience in terms of meeting with foreigners, were targeted. Micro-aggression(s) often manifests as condescending, derogatory, vulgar words or trivial glances, gestures, and tones that are unconscious, unintentional, and implicit, but sometimes consciously or intentionally made. For this reason, in this study, the exposure of black African descent students to racial micro-aggressions, which can be revealed as a result of the conscious, intended or unintended actions of the local people, has been tried to be understood and explored on the basis of a qualitative research design in accordance with micro-interpretive understanding. For this purpose, micro-aggressions that black African descent students may be exposed to were tried to be defined around certain sub-themes or categories. In the study, it was determined that although black African descent students are less exposed to overt, vulgar or intentional forms of discrimination in terms of their life experiences in the city they live in, they are more likely to be exposed to implicit, unconscious or unintended micro-aggressive behaviors. In this sense, whether it has an overt or deliberate discriminatory purpose in the relationship with the stranger, such an approach infiltrates into life and invades everyday language and actions. Thus, micro-aggressive discriminatory behaviors continue to reproduce themselves continuously through exoticization, objectification, homogenization, denial of experiential realities, attribution of intelligence, jokes, nicknames, and impolite attitudes.

This study has been conducted to determine the innovativeness, entrepreneurship, curiosity and exploration characteristics of nursing students and the relationship between these characteristics. The population of this descriptive type conducted study is consisted of 250 students in third and fourth years in the nursing department of a university in Black Sea region. Sample of the study consisted of 236 students who agreed to participate in the study. The data have been collected with "Personal Information Form, Individual Innovativeness Scale, Individual Entrepreneurship Perception Scale, Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II". In the study, students; who were members of a club, who engaged in entrepreneurial/innovative activities, who received training on innovativeness, who were following innovative practices in health or nursing, who had ideas to develop innovative products, who wanted to work in a sector other than nursing or in private sector and who thought about continuing their education had higher curiosity and innovativeness levels (p<0.05). There was a weak and positive significant correlation between students' Curiosity and Exploration Inventory-II and Individual Innovativeness Scale scores (p<0.01). It has been determined that nursing students had moderate levels of curiosity, exploration, innovativeness and entrepreneurship characteristics and they were questioning about innovations. The students' innovativeness levels increased as their curiosity and exploration levels increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to investigate the mediating role of Manager Support in the effect of open leadership perceived by employees on innovative behavior of employees. For this purpose, the relevant literature has been extensively examined and a theoretical framework has been created to support the research models and hypotheses. The data required to test the research hypotheses were obtained from the public and private sector employees in the province of Bitlis. As a result of the analyzes, the dimensions of Supporting Curiosity and Accountability and Effective Use of Social Networks, which are sub-dimensions of Perceived Open Leadership, were found to have significant and positive effects on Innovative Behavior. On the other hand, no effect of Acceptance of Power and Continuous Sharing, which is one of the Open Leadership sub- dimensions, on innovative behavior was observed. As a result of adding Perception of Manager Support as a mediator variable to the analysis, the effect of Effective Use of Social Networks on Innovative Behavior disappeared and it was observed that it indirectly affected innovative behavior through the perception of manager support. Again, in the results of the analysis, it was found that the Perception of Manager Support partially mediated the relationship between Supporting Curiosity and Accountability and Innovative Business Behavior.

This study basically tried to understand how young people approach to fortune-telling behavior. The data obtained from 13 fortune-tellers through in-depth interviews were classified under 4 themes: which profile young people go to fortune-tellers, what young people talk about with fortune-tellers, young people's expectations from fortune-tellers, and fortune-tellers' place in the world of young people. Accordingly, while there is a sociodemographically diverse profile among young people who go to fortune-tellers, it has been determined that young people who are defined as anxious, curious and depressed come to the fore. On the other hand, it has been determined that young people usually conduct interviews with fortune-tellers on love relationships, family problems, future concerns and career. Besides, according to fortune-tellers, young people go to fortune-tellers to satisfy their curiosity, to consult, to be approved, and to talk. In addition, it has been understood that fortune tellers are important and influential people in the lives of young people. The data obtained suggest that fortune-telling behavior can be seen as an expression of young people seeking counseling and psychological support. Therefore, it points out the importance of effective youth work that will meet the needs of young people in this direction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concepts of Vahdet-i Vucud and Vahdet-i Shuhud have influenced many sects of Sufism and have become the disposition of many saints throughout the history. Especially the fact that both ways of spiritual progress were based on unity and that they were very enjoyable dispositions followed with love have always kept the interest in these two disciplines fresh. How Said Nursî discussed these two concepts in his works called Risâle-i nûr Collection has been a matter of curiosity, such as which criticisms he directed with their similar and different aspects, and whether these two dispositions could be accepted as the highest level in Sufism in his eyes. It was especially discussed whether the spirit of Vahdet-i Vucud was the ultimate point of perfection in spiritual progress. In his works, Said Nursî also discussed and interpreted in detail the deficiencies of the idea of Vahdet-i Vucud, whether the verses of the Qur'an were in line with their apparent meaning, and the dangers that could lead people to fall. Nursî, who considered the idea of "Vahdet-i Shuhud" as more harmless than the idea of "Vahdet-i Vucud", talked about the deficiencies of this mystical concept. And, he showed progress through the avenue of the Qur'an, which he called the profession of the Companions, and the way of the Companions and great saints, whom he called "succession of prophecy" as the highest spiritual level. After briefly mentioning the concepts of "Vucud", "Vahdet-i Vucud", and "Vahdet-i Shuhud", the information and criticisms given about these two dispositions, which are discussed in many places in the Risâle-i nûr Collection, and ultimately Nursî's opinions on these two concepts are summarized in the present study.

In the Islamic scientific tradition, there have been personalities who set the agenda, set the direction, and differed from their peers or equivalents thanks to their wide area of influence. The differences of these personalities were not only felt in their own time, but also their influence and power became more noticeable in the following periods and centuries. The lives of the people whose existence and difference are felt in any field of life have always been a matter of curiosity and were found worthy of research and learning. In the religious traditions, the prophets and the personalities who served as a brigde to their teachings were wondered, and details of their life adventures became the focus of attention. In the Islamic tradition of narration, the age of the subordinate who came after the companions and those who lived in that century performed a very important task in the transmission od religious/prophetic knowledge. The son of a very important family, one of the first muslims, Urwah b. Zubayr also stands as a figure that is dealt with in this contaxt. Because he took his place in the sources as a scholar of hadith, fiqh, tafsir and prophetic biography/maghâzî fields. Both in religious sciences and in the information about the life of Hz. Prophet, Urwah b. Zubayr covers a very large area. Our study, ‘’ A Personality of High Point in Science: Urwah b. Zubayr’’ is to explore and learn about Urwah’s life more closely; it is intended to touch on the unknown aspects of his life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is to the benefit of both parties that the relations between the EU and Turkey, which is an important country in its region, as parties with long-standing relations, continue at a certain level without breaking. While discussing a post-Brexit-weary EU and the future of integration, it is also a matter of curiosity how and how Turkey will take part in this integration. There is an EU that does not want to lose Turkey completely, and Turkey, which has not been able to get a positive sign for membership from the EU for many years, but still wants to maintain its relationship with the EU in a certain line. In order for the relations between the parties to continue at a certain level, the existing Customs Union integration is considered as a form of partnership that needs to be maintained and developed. The Customs Union relations that Turkey has developed with the EU is an area where deep and comprehensive relations with an economic nature are possible. If full membership will not be possible for Turkey in the near future, good relations that will develop on the basis of the Customs Union in the economic field, where mutual benefits are high, will also have a positive reflection on the political field. The study investigates the course of relations between Turkey and the EU and the possibility of integration in the light of external differentiated integration theories on the axis of the Customs Union.

The rise or fall of China has always been the determining factor in the East Asian regional order. The re-emergence of China as a great power in the 21st century accelerates the discussions on how the regional and global order will be shaped. China's economic and military power leads an asymmetrical dependency relationship with many actors in favor of China. It is a matter of curiosity whether the economic and military inequality between China and other countries will lead to a hierarchical order as in the tribute system. In this study, what kind of order the rising China will seek was analyzed based on historical experiences. The study aims to answer the question of how an economically and militarily powerful China will conduct its foreign affairs. It is argued that the economic and military asymmetry between China and other countries will allow China's relations with some countries to be carried out on an unequal basis, as in the tribute system.

Fortune telling, its past dates back to BC. 4000s, throughout the history, it has been one of the methods of getting people's curiosity about the future by using various tools and practices. From past to present, various interpretations have been made by using a lot of things such as natural disasters, organs, bones, stars, stones and water. The more people’s interest in fortune-telling increased, the more fortune-tellers who take over it as a occupation appeared and afterwards fortune books were written so that everyone wanting can tell fortune. Fortune telling, which is forbidden with the acceptance of Islam, has nevertheless not been completely abandoned. It has subsisted in a different context to attribute it to good. Quran fortune telling are also one of the fortune tellings in this context. In this study, firstly, a general evaluation about fortune and fortune telling has been made, the methods of looking at the Quran fortune have been classified under four headings, and the studies on Quran fortune-telling have been evaluated.

Dreams affects people psychologically. A link between dreams and physiology exists because the physiological effect brought by feelings such as curiosity, excitement, anxiety, fear, joy, and happiness is a state experienced by people establishing a connection between dreams and the future. Dreams can affect people both positively and negatively. This effect can be even more striking with the interpretation of dreams. When an evaluation is made in the context of dreams and religion, the mention of dreams, especially in the Quran and hadith, affects believers, and the appreciation of some Sufis or scholars for this concept increases the power of dreams and enables the belief that dreams have a connection with reality. However, dreams clearly have a reality not only religiously but also scientifically, where studies have been conducted on dreams. This reveals that dreams should not be accepted only by believers. Yet, when Ali Haydar Haksal's work Rüya Rüya Içinde is studied, the author is seen to evidently process his stories in the context of dreams and Islam. In this study, after some information about dreams is provided, the way dreams are handled in stories is mentioned, and some Islamic information is explained. The examples from the Quran and some mystical elements, especially the hadiths, used are also mentioned. It has been concluded that the author tries to establish a connection between the form and the content and aims to explain some religious issues to the reader. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the Slow School approach is examined within the framework of conceptual and theoretical foundations. The main characteristics of the Slow School approach are explained. Slow Education, whose foundations were established in 2001 by Maurice Holt, has been spreading all around the world by the teachers, parents, and scholars who are looking for new innovative ways for their children to be more aware of what they are learning. Slowness in the Slow Movement means localization, creating artwork, and revealing and discovering the self. As it is in Slow Food, the knowledge which has just been gained and the work which has just been done need enough time to be reviewed in order to represent the interests and motives of the maker and to turn them into end products. Also, during this process, people get interacted with each other and socialize which ends up with localization, as well. Slow School movement highlights deliberative thinking. When students try to learn something, they should not be stuck in a normative framework, on the contrary; there should be an atmosphere where they can move independently and discover their own interests and present their curiosity. In slow pedagogy, learning is regarded as an individual's private process. The fundamental feature of slow learning is that individuals learn and discover at their own pace. Compared to the requirements of the 21st century, when is the time to become more competitive and fussy, slow pedagogy enables individuals to have less dependency and more autonomy when they determine their own learning process and decide on their steps.

Two young people bring uncertainty to a village in which everything is in a systematic progress. The citizens of Pleasantville, who had previously never suspected the possibility of different situations, evaluations, behaviors, and choices, react to this situation differently. The movie, Pleasantville, demonstrates the individuals' relations with uncertainty as parallel with the findings of the literature on uncertainty. The first reactions generally appear as a surprise. Later, responses follow two separate processes. These processes are defined as curiosity sourced and anxiety sourced processes. Curiosity sourced process are represented in the movie as parallel to the literature which assumes the association between uncertainty and exploration. On the other hand, the anxiety sourced processes were represented as similar with the theories in which uncertainty is defined with such processes as rigidity in attitudes, group identification, and setting up rules. The movie analysis, which demonstrates similarities with the psychology literature, can be helpful to both daily life practices and researchers studying human behavior. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The population of this study, which was conducted with people who applied to a smoking cessation clinic, consisted of the individuals who applied to Erzincan Binali Yıldırım University Mengücek Gazi Training and Research Hospital Smoking Cessation Clinic for smoking cessation. The sample of the study consisted of 126 individuals. In the study, an information form was used to obtain data from the sample. SPSS 23 packaged software was used to analyze the data, and nonparametric tests were preferred for data analysis. The number of factors that cause smoking cessation is more than twice the number of factors that cause smoking initiation. It was determined that health and economic reasons were effective among the reasons for smoking cessation, and being unable to cope with enthusiasm, curiosity, and stress were the most important reasons for smoking initiation. The desire of smokers to smoke is increasing, especially after meals, under stress, and while drinking tea or coffee. Even if individuals quit smoking, the success of smoking cessation decreases over time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The first thing that should be done in the fight against smoking is to prevent smoking initiation, especially in children and young people. The aim of this survey is to determine the factors that are effective in smoking initiation. The study included 200 smokers who were admitted to the pulmonary diseases and smoking cessation outpatient clinics. Of the 200 cases, 135 (67.5%) were men. The most frequent reasons for start of smoking were being influenced by friends (80%) and curiosity (78.5%). The incidence rates of the following reasons were higher in men: curiosity, emulating to smokers, inducement of friends, wanting to prove oneself to the surroundings, and effect of cigarette advertisements (p=0.027, p=0.001, p=0.011, p=0.001, and p=0.045, respectively). In women, the presence of a smoking spouse or partner and psychological problems were more effective (p=0.003 and p=0.026, respectively). As a result, many of our cases started smoking in their youth because of their friends' effects and out of curiosity. Surrounding influence and psychological and social factors were also effective. Therefore, preventive measures can be planned to keep young people away from smoking by considering the reasons regarding age and gender that lead to smoking. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Backpacking is an essential and rising market in the tourism industry. Other than mass tourists, it is known that backpackers have an extraordinary, intense experience during their vacations, immerse themselves to places/destinations, lose their sense of time, have a high concentration and sense of joy and curiosity. Although the effects of flow experience which is one of the primary motivations for backpackers on escape experience is discussed theoretically in the literature, it is not measured. The present study aims to measure the relationship between flow and escape experiences. Survey technique is used to gather data and the data is gathered from various online platforms which backpackers are members of. Among the obtained data, 231 questionnaires were analyzed. The theoretical model which focused on the flow and escape experiences is tested using structural equation modelling, and the model had good fitting indices. As a result of the study, flow which had enjoyment/curiosity, focused attention, distortion of time dimensions, affected the escape experience positively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Being sceptical about the future, curiosity and the aim of learning the unknown have been seriously problematic for the human race since the creation. As a result of overcoming this problem and having desire to find out the unknown pertaining to the future and to shape their life in this direction, people had taken steps in order to find out the unknown through object, food and drink or twitching body parts for centuries. The empery created by sciences of unknown in the daily life of societies was transferred to the literary texts and as a consequence of this, there were several texts put down on paper in prosaic or poetic form whose writers were either known or unknown. One of the most known examples of this situation is a kind of fortune-telling that has settled in our culture by going under the names of seğir-nâme or ihtilâc-nâme and that has been described as interpretation of the future through looking at the twitching of the body parts. Our study has transliterated the text titled as İhtilâcnâme that is located in Digital Vatican Library with the code of Borg.turc.79 and contains information regarding twitches, and has been put down on paper for the purpose of emphasizing of the importance this text within its period of time. In 137 works in total mentioning about the twitch, the estimated results related to twitching body parts and future are presented as tabular before the transliteration of the text.
