One of the most basic needs of human beings in order to survive is nutrition. sesame, which is rich in protein, fiber, minerals, and vitamins, has a very high nutritional value. The oil obtained from sesame took its place among the oils used in ancient Mesopotamia to facilitate the cooking of meals and to increase their flavor. Sesame, which is of vital importance for ensuring daily energy requirements and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, was considered a sacred plant in Ancient Mesopotamian societies and was widely used in religious rituals. This situation shows that sesame was considered not only as a food source but also as a religious symbol. From a medical point of view, the health benefits of sesame cannot be ignored either. It is known that sesame has been used for various medicinal purposes since ancient times. In traditional medicine practices, sesame oil has been used for skin care, massage, and the treatment of certain diseases. In addition, it is known that sesame has antioxidant properties and some components it contains have positive effects on health. Therefore, it can be said that throughout history, sesame has both contributed to people's physical health and had a very important position from a cultural point of view. In the article, based on cuneiform sources, the use of sesame, one of the main food sources of Mesopotamian societies, in various fields such as nutrition, religion, food culture, and medicine is discussed. The purpose of this study is to examine the usage areas of sesame in Ancient Mesopotamia, which have made important contributions to the formation of the world's cultural heritage.

Documentary cinema is a type of film in which facts are conveyed through the language of film and the director's original approach. The 2022 documentary Love, Deutschmarks and Death tells the story of the immigrants from Turkey to Germany since 1961 and the generations that followed them through their music culture. Migration from Turkey to Germany and its effects have been analyzed in many studies. There are also studies examining how migration is conveyed in fiction films and documentary cinema. However, there is no study that examines how migration is conveyed in documentary cinema with German in particular and music culture. This situation shows the importance of this study. The music culture described reflects realities in an artistic style, just like documentary cinema does. When the music depicting the problems of immigrants is combined with the documentary's depiction of immigrants through this music, a layered and effective narrative emerges. This study examines how the documentary Love, Deutschmarks and Death conveys immigrants and music culture through the elements of documentary cinema. How the music, interviews and archives in the content of the documentary are used, how they are connected or edited with each other, and how the music used reflects social realities are analyzed through content analysis. It has been observed that the documentary Love, Deutschmarks and Death narrates the social effects of migration by blending it with music culture and uses interviews and archives, which are the prominent elements of documentary films, with a subtle editing style.

This study, based on the argument that the literary-aesthetic field is deeply intertwined with social, cultural, and political spheres, examines the societal, cultural, and economic transformations brought about by modernity, alongside the paradoxes these changes create, through a sociological and literary approaches. The rise of the Industrial Revolution and capitalism profoundly impacted not only production processes but also the social roles and identity perceptions of individuals. Drawing on the analyses of Marx, Durkheim, Simmel, and Weber, this study investigates how capitalism reduces individuals to functional entities, alienates them, desensitizes them, and weakens social bonds, rendering them anonymous. The article further explores how the promise of freedom offered by capitalist modernity paradoxically transforms into structures that limit individual autonomy. The paradoxical effects of modern capitalism on both individuals and society are also widely reflected in literary works. Nineteenth and twentieth-century literature extensively addresses the themes of loneliness, alienation, and identity crises brought about by capitalist modernity. In this context, the study explores how authors such as Dickens, Flaubert, Kafka, Camus, Orwell, and Beckett engage with the paradoxes of capitalist modernity in their works. By integrating social, economic, cultural, political, and literary analyses, this article offers a comprehensive perspective on the effects of modern capitalism on human beings, their imagination, and society as a whole.

The history of discourse studies in the social sciences can be traced back to the 1970s. Post-structuralist thinkers, by giving central importance to the concept of discourse rather than ideology in explaining social variables, made the concept popular in social science research. During this period, social scientists began to emphasize the use of discourse in socio-cultural contexts through language and symbols, attempting to determine the characteristic features of political behaviors and systems. At this point, culture show itself in the political arena via language and signs has led to the establishment of a close link between political discourse and culture in the studies to be conducted. Cultural elements, on the one hand, form the toolset that shapes people's political attitudes, while on the other hand, politicians incorporate this toolset into their policies through their discourse. As a matter of fact, this study will focus on the connection between discourse, culture and society and the theoretical background that creates this connection will be emphasized. The aim of the study is to reveal how the relationship between discourse and culture affects political and social life in societies exhibiting collectivist characteristics and which materials can be used to examine this effect in political discourse studies. The aim of the study is to provide an alternative perspective to the theoretical background of political discourse studies of cultural characteristics such as "high power distance" and "high uncertainty avoidance" seen in collectivist societies, and the examination of materials that are the source of discourse analysis.

Cities are regarded as spaces of co-production of the social sphere, leaving diverse imprints on the memory and discourse of individuals within society. This study investigates these differences by categorizing them according to generations, focusing on the components of urban identity as perceived, lived, transformed, and interacted with by different generations within the city. The aim is to uncover the type of identity the city offers to various generations and the generation-oriented breakpoints in the production of collective memory. This research is intertwined with themes of urban politics, urban memory, and urban-public space, providing an opportunity to not only observe the generation gap but also to discern the distinct dynamics of the city. It underscores the importance of considering the generation gap in the city's collective accumulation and urban politics. The study draws on data from in-depth interviews with 12 participants, comprising three individuals from each of the X, Y, Z, and Baby Boomer generations, all of whom were born, raised, and currently reside in Eskişehir. Through an examination of factors such as age, upbringing, and life experiences, the research delves into how these elements shape individuals' senses of identity and attachment to the urban environment. Additionally, it explores how generational perspectives influence attitudes towards urban development, cultural identity, and community engagement in Eskişehir. By delving into these aspects, the study aims to provide deeper insights into how generational differences manifest within the context of urban identity in this specific city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Dieser Artikel behandelt das Thema Kultur und Wortfelder. An Stelle der realen Welt stellt jede Sprache eine halb fiktive Version von Dingen dar. Sprache schafft ihre eigene Sicht auf die Welt. Dies führt zu unterschiedlichen Wortfeldern für jede Sprache. Wortfelder aus dem Chinesischen und Deutschen werden hier als Erinnerungsorte mit ihrem kulturellen und historischen Hintergrund dargestellt. Auf dieser Grundlage wird die Bedeutung von Wortfeldern im Kulturkontext für das Sprachverständnis und die Sprachvermittlung aufgezeigt.

Vegan veya vejetaryen etik tutumu benimsemek küresel dünyada her geçen gün artan ve daha görünür hale gelen bir gerçekliktir. Birçok birey kendisini vegan veya vejetaryen kimlikleri esasında tanımlamaktadırlar. Bireyler sağlık sorunları, ekolojik tahribatlar, etik nedenler vb. unsurlar neticesinde etik tutumu benimsemekte ve yaşamlarını söz konusu etik tutum etrafında şekillendirmektedirler. Vegan/Vejetaryen kimliğinin benimsenmesi ile birlikte bireyler yeni bir kimlik inşa süreci içerisine girmektedirler. Yeni kimlik inşası ile birlikte bireylerin sosyal çevreleri de değişmektedir; örneğin bireylerin omnivor ve karnist bir düzen içerisinde vegan veya vejetaryen etik tutumu benimsemesi bireylerin etiketlenmesine, kimliklerini gizlemelerine neden olabilmektedir. Bu araştırmada veganlık ve vejetaryenlik bireysel ve sosyal kimlik unsuru olarak ele alınmakta, kesişimsel olduğu kimlikler ile ilişkileri irdelenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın temel amacı, vegan ve vejetaryen olan bireylerin sosyal ilişkilerini, toplumsal cinsiyet ilişkilerini ve inanç ilişkilerini çalışma kapsamında ele almaktır. Araştırma nitel yaklaşım ve fenomenolojik desen kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiş ve altı katılımcı ile çevrimiçi mülakat tekniğiyle görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Araştırmadan elde edilen veriler nitel veri analiz programı aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada bireylerin sömürü, tahakküm, ataerkil düzen karşısında başkaldırı gerçekleştirmeleri ve mücadelenin verildiği tarafın kimlikleri bir araya getirmesi kimliklerin kaçınılmaz kesişimselliğini ortaya koyduğu görülmüştür.

Duygular, soyut ve kişisel olmakla birlikte kültürel kaynaklı olması ve davranışlara yansımasından dolayı sosyolojinin ilgi alanı içerisinde yer almaktadır. Duygular psikolojik manada genetikle ilişkilendirilirken sosyolojik açıdan kişiler arası ilişkiler, iletişim, sosyal etki ve sosyal yapı içerisinde değerlendirilir. Sportif etkinlikler ise insanların bir araya gelerek, performans sergiledikleri ve duygularını birbirlerine aktararak sosyalleşmeyi destekleyen faaliyetlerdir. Beraberinde antrenman ve maçlarda yaşanılan endişe, kaygı ve öfke gibi olumsuz duygular ile mutluluk, sevinç ve istek gibi olumlu duygular spor insanlarının ve taraftarların davranışlarına yön verebilir nitelikteki görünümlerdir. Bu makale duygular sosyolojisi bağlamında Türkiye’deki sportif aktivitelerin duygu oluşturan yapısını ve spor insanları ve kamuoyu üzerindeki etkilerini ve rolünü tartışmayı hedeflemektedir. Bu amaçla ilgili literatür ve gözlemler çerçevesinde duygular ve spor ilişkisi irdelenmekte ve spor kültürünün oluşumuna ilişkin çıkarımlarda bulunulmaktadır. Nihayetinde sportif etkinliklerde ortaya çıkan olumlu ve olumsuz duygusal tepkilerin sosyal bağlamları içerisinde değerlendirilmesi gerektiği ve sosyo-kültürel özellikleri yansıttığı vurgulanmaktadır.

The Balkans, due to its geographical location, has hosted various empires, allowing the culinary culture in the region to diversify and enrich through interactions with different cultures. Balkan culinary culture has been shaped by factors such as history, geography, and ethnic diversity. Each country has its own unique flavors and traditions. The main objective of this study is to examine the menu contents of food and beverage establishments classified as "Balkan Restaurant" in Istanbul and analyze online customer reviews on Google. The study is designed as qualitative research, employing archival research, document scanning, and content analysis techniques as qualitative research methods. Establishments with inaccessible menu content were accessed through their official websites or social media accounts. In this context, 13 Balkan restaurants operating between 2010-2024 were subjected to a detailed evaluation, and a total of 2689 customer reviews were analyzed using content analysis methods. The content from Google reviews was obtained through a Python-based application. The obtained data was analyzed and visualized using the Microsoft Power BI program. According to results, restaurant menus were assessed under three primary categories: "delicious," "tasteless," and "expensive." Prominent and flavorful dishes like "Pljeskavica, Cevapcici, and Bosnian Dumplings" were highlighted in Balkan restaurants. This suggests that Balkan restaurants typically maintain their cultural heritage, keeping their menu offerings consistent without major alterations, thus preserving traditional elements throughout the years. It has been concluded that businesses not providing services in this manner are generally perceived by customers as either tasteless or expensive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Emotions are seen as very important in interpersonal relationships. Shyness, which is a self-conscious emotion, is also one of the important factors affecting interpersonal relationships. For this reason, shyness has become one of the important subjects of study. In particular, some studies have been conducted on cultural differences in terms of the definition and emergence of the concept of shyness. Considering the cultural differences in the conceptualization of shyness, it seems that there are some differences among societies. At the same time, these differences regarding shyness may change over time. Therefore, individuals' opinions are considered crucial in order to better understand these differences. This study aims to understand the concept of shyness in Turkish society and to reveal possible situations that cause shyness. To understand the concept of shyness and to determine the factors that cause shyness, open-ended questions were asked to a total of 147 participants from 3 different groups (people living in rural areas, people living in cities, and shy people). Data collected from participants were used to determine themes within the framework of 6 basic objectives related to shyness using the MAXQDA analysis program. In addition, qualitative study results were evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The incorporation of cultural elements into the language education curriculum, particularly within the context of second language acquisition, is widely acknowledged as an essential and foundational component that significantly enhances the overall effectiveness and success of the educational process. This inclusive approach not only fosters linguistic proficiency but also promotes cross-cultural understanding. It provides students with a comprehensive and immersive learning experience, cultivating a deep appreciation for diverse cultures while refining their language skills. It is crucial to recognize and understand the deep connection between culture and language, as they are closely intertwined and mutually dependent. The interconnected relationship between culture and language suggests that they should be considered together rather than separately in human communication and expression. In order to gain a deep understanding of a foreign language, learners should engage with the cultural context that shapes it. This includes exploring the traditions, beliefs, and customs that influence the language of a community. Immersing oneself in the cultural background not only enhances comprehension but also facilitates the attainment of fluency and proficiency in the language being learned. Therefore, educators in the field of language instruction are responsible for integrating cultural aspects into their teaching methods, ensuring that students receive a comprehensive language learning experience that encompasses both linguistic and cultural aspects. Incorporating cultural insights and practices into language teaching enables instructors to facilitate a more comprehensive and effective learning process, allowing learners to engage with the language in a meaningful and authentic manner. It is widely accepted that the integration of cultural elements not only enhances the learning experience but also plays a pivotal role in fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of the target language, thereby enriching the linguistic proficiency of the learners. This study aims to explore the role of translation in teaching culture to foreign language learners and its impact on their intercultural communicative competence. It focuses on assessing the current state of cultural education in the context of foreign language learning and the significance of translation in conveying cultural concepts to language students. The study also seeks to investigate teachers' attitudes towards incorporating translation in foreign language classrooms at Algerian universities and the impact of these attitudes on their teaching curricula. To acquire relevant information, a structured questionnaire was shared among a total of 18 instructors who specialize in foreign languages within the academic realm of Algerian tertiary institutions, aiding in the collection of primary data that was subsequently subjected to thorough examination and interpretation through the utilisation of a research framework that combines descriptive and analytical methodologies. The findings of the study indicate that translation plays a crucial role in enhancing linguistic competence for language learners. Understanding cultural nuances is essential for language educators and students due to the interconnectedness of language and culture. Integrating cultural components into language teaching is significant as it provides learners with diverse perspectives and contexts. Additionally, translation is important in educating foreign language learners about culture, helping them deepen their understanding of their own cultural background and compare it with the culture they are studying, thus improving their intercultural skills and enhancing their ability to acknowledge and respect cultural differences.

This study has discussed the reflections of socio-economic transformations on urban space during the last quarter of the 20th century. The new relationships of high-technology and information-centered new capitalism, global capital and finance flows, and the shift of industrial production from North America and Western Europe to southern countries have transformed the world's leading cities into centers of administration, control, finance, and banking. Alongside the processes analyzed as global cities or world cities, the relationship established by the new capitalism through the cultural-creative sectors with the creative city model also influences the forms of urbanization. The new global economy shaped by creativity and innovation is redesigning urban space to create a creative social environment and construct creative processes. Discussions on the creative city focus on the multi-actor, multi-layered, and interdisciplinary construction of the city and the visibility of societies' soft infrastructures in the city. In this context, developing South Asian cities like Singapore in recent years provide noteworthy examples. In this study, the relationship between the urban space and the new capitalism has been evaluated through the example of the Singaporean city-state using the lens of creative cities. The post-independence urban transformation and creative urbanization process in Singapore have been described in a narrative style using quantitative data provided by the Singapore Department of Statistics.

The Arabic language, with its rich history and vast literary heritage, is a complex and nuanced tongue. Grasping the depths of this language requires not only an understanding of its grammatical rules but also an immersion into Arab culture and civilization. Indeed, the revelation of the Holy Quran in Arabic has elevated this language to the cornerstone of Islamic faith and civilization. This has established Arabic as an indispensable tool and source for all Quran-based disciplines, including tafsir (Quranic exegesis), fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence), hadith (prophetic traditions), kalam (Islamic theology), and mantiq (Islamic logic). Fully comprehending Arabic's role as a tool and source is paramount to accurately and comprehensively understanding Islam and its civilization. This study delves into the functions and meanings of Arabic words, revealing the intricate nuances of its grammatical rules. Focusing on two significant grammatical patterns, "If'âl" and "Tef'îl," the research meticulously examines their functions and applications in the Arabic language. Utilizing qualitative data collection and analysis techniques, examples from Arabic texts and grammatical resources will be analyzed. The study's findings are anticipated to contribute to a deeper understanding of Arabic word functions and meanings, shedding light on the intricacies of Arabic grammar. Additionally, it is hoped that this research will foster a better understanding of Arabic language and culture, promoting communication and understanding between diverse cultures.

Culture is the whole of tangible and intangible elements such as values, beliefs, food habits, social lives, visual arts, proverbs and idioms that distinguish one society from another and are shared by the people living in that society. Cultural elements are transmitted from generation to generation in various ways, including cartoons. In this context, the cartoon named "Alpman", which is one of the cultural cartoons, was discussed. In the cartoon examined within the scope of the study, answers are sought to the questions of which elements of Turkish culture are conveyed, which cultural elements are processed more and how these elements are depicted. In line with the purpose and questions determined in the study, in-depth interview method as well as mixed analysis in which content and discourse analysis methods are used together are used. As a result of the study, it is seen that in addition to material items such as tents, horses, arrows, bows, carpet weaving in the cartoon, intangible items such as stories, proverbs and folk medicine are also included. It is seen that the participants generally know the horse, archery, mangala game, wrestling, tent, shadow play and zerde dessert of Turkish culture. In particular, horse riding, archery and tent living seem to be the most well-known cultural elements. Another striking result is that shadow play is also known, and especially the play called Hacivat and Karagöz comes to mind first. However through the Alpman cartoon, it was learned that the lynx animal is important in Turkish culture and that the game of Çevgen is a cultural game. It is one of the valuable features of the cartoon that it reminds the cultural elements that are about to be forgotten in each episode. It is suggested that the number of cartoons about cultural elements should be increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mosques are at the heart of Muslim lives, especially in non-Muslim communities—the variety of cultures and nationalities of the immigrants determines the concept of mosques in Britain. The landscape of the mosques in Britain differs in regard to the cultural, national and denominational concepts. Most of the mosques are focused on either specific nationalities or denominations. The current article explores the ways in which mosques are situated in contemporary societies in relation to expressing Islamic and cultural identities, using Cambridge Central Mosque, which debuted in Britain in 2019 with the motto "eco-friendly", as a case study. The current research focuses primarily on examining the architectural, sustainable, and social aspects of the Cambridge Central Mosque. After engaging with the design feature of the Mosque, the article questions the meaning of 'British Mosque' in its functioning and multicultural structure. Eco-friendly mosques have been on the agenda since the beginning of Islam. There are many mosques in history. For example, Esrefoglu Mosque in Konya was built using ecological materials and has survived for 900 years. In the 21st century, the increased interest in eco-friendly buildings due to the growing rate of industrialisation and the ensuing pollution of the environment has reminded us to focus on sustainability, as it has always been a core concept in Islam and Muslim lives. Offering a good perspective on this issue, The Cambridge Central Mosque represents an overarching space for all Muslims, women, and families. It is an example of environmentally friendly, sustainable, and integrated with the social structure in the modern world. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of using different varieties of cultures in yogurt production on some chemical, sensory properties and volatile compounds. Six different starter cultures were used for this purpose. It was revealed that the protein, ash, titratable acidity, lactose and tyrosine values of yoghurts varied between 4.13-4.38%, 1.10-1.21%, 0.92-1.23%, 5.62-6.19% and 9.57-14.76 mg tyrosine/100g yogurt, respectively. Solid phase microextraction technique and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry were used to determine volatile components. Acetaldehyde, diacetyl, acetoin, acetic acid, butanoic acid and hexanoic acid were determined as the characteristic volatile compounds of yoghurts. As a result of descriptive sensory analysis, the terms lumpy structure, consistency, ropy structure, fermented and sour were determined as the most intensely perveived sensory characteristics by the panelists.

Mardin Biennials are among the important city biennials of Türkiye, which started in 2010 and continues today. Mardin Biennials which differ from other city biennials as a series of events that aim to reveal both the unique motifs of the city and current problems through contemporary art practises still continue their existence despite the various difficulties they experince from time to time. Motivated by the unique cultural dynamics of the city, Mardin Biennials have distinguished themselves from being a boutique biennial with its structure that brings together local and foreign artists and its variable conceptual frameworks. The study aims to discuss the Mardin Biennials which have been ongoing from their beginning to the present day in the context of aesthetics evaluations, and in the light of the conceptual frameworks of the biennial texts or the evaluations of various writers and critics.

Language is the most important tool that reflects the existing culture and its elements in a society. Dialects are also language elements that reflect the life, differences and cultures of a society or community and enrich the vocabulary, morphemes and phonological elements of that language. The fact that this language element differs from region to region and region to region is one of the indicators of the development and richness of Turkish. One of the most important language elements of dialects, which is one of the elements of this richness, which serves to determine the meaning and meaning of the nouns in the sentence, adds functionality to the semantic and structural richness of Turkish. Many studies have been made and continue to be done on case suffixes, which are an important part of both dialects and Turkish. Recently, studies that are handled from different perspectives, especially in areas such as compilation, review and comparison, have gained intensity. However, the studies on the dialect features of Adıyaman province and its region remain in the shadow of this density. Therefore, in this study, while the case suffixes in the dialect structure of Adıyaman province and its region are discussed, the different uses of case suffixes in the compilation texts and their interchangeable use in sentences are tried to be determined. In addition, the semantic differences of case suffixes depending on the context are also shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Individuals' desire to live in different nations to improve their living standards grows as globalization accelerates and countries' environmental conditions change. Even though people have a strong desire to do so, it is extremely difficult to adapt to a new culture. There are numerous factors that influence people's crosscultural adaptability. The concept of cultural intelligence, which plays an important role in helping individuals understand individuals from different cultures and behave appropriately in that culture, is the most important of these factors. Cultural intelligence analysis can help individuals overcome or avoid these challenges. Individuals' personalities, in addition to cultural intelligence, are considered as another factor that has a significant impact on the results. The analysis of personality structures can reveal whether or not they can adapt to different cultures. The purpose of this study is to investigate the concepts of cross-cultural adaptability, cultural intelligence, and personality in the context of Business Administration graduate students' intentions to live abroad and to determine the extent to which these three concepts are related.
