    Assessment of Traditional and Commercial Rosehip Marmalade Samples: Physicochemical, Antioxidant, and Antibacterial Properties in Gümüşhane Province

    Yilmaz, Firat

    In this study, the specific physicochemical, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties of 20 different rosehip marmalade samples, produced using traditional and commercial methods in the Gümüşhane province and its districts, were comprehensively analyzed. To detect the chemical composition of the rosehip marmalade samples, analyses were conducted for total dry matter, pH, ash, titratable acidity (malic acid %), soluble solids, water activity, and color (L*, a*, b*). Additionally, alongside the physicochemical analyses, the contents of hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, and total sugar) were also determined. To assess the antioxidant properties, analyses for total flavonoid content, total phenolic content, DPPH (% inhibition), and ABTS (% inhibition) were performed. Furthermore, the antibacterial activities of the rosehip marmalade samples against pathogenic bacterial strains such as Proteus vulgaris ATCC 29212, Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212, Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 23566, and Escherichia coli O157:H7 35150 were investigated.

    Experimental Demonstration of an Optic-DAC Based Transmitter Structure

    Baser, Oguzhan; Küçük, Mehmet Ali; Albayrak, Cenk; Türk, Kadir

    In this paper, an optical-DAC (ODAC) based transmitter design is proposed for indoor visible light communication (VLC) applications. The proposed design is practically realized and the communication performance of the experimental VLC system is investigated. In the ODAC transmitter, multilevel communication signal can be generated optically by independently switching light emitting diode (LED) groups with different powers. In this way, multilevel modulation techniques in VLC systems can be realized through a simple transmitter structure that can be digitally driven. In the proposed transmitter design, unlike the existing ODAC-based VLC transmitters in the literature, metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET) are used as switching elements in order to drive high-power LED for ambient illumination and communication. In the experimental studies, an offline VLC system using the designed ODAC-based transmitter with a power of approximately 10 W is tested at different switching speeds and distances. The results show that by implementing 8 PAM modulation in the proposed transmitter design, a data transmission rate of 6.264 Mbps is successfully achieved.

    Geochemical and petrological features of Carboniferous granites from the Güneydere (Bayburt) area

    Gücer, Mehmet Ali; Delimehmet, Zeynep; Çimen, Okay

    Middle-Late Carboniferousgranitic rocks are widely observed in larger outcrops in the Eastern Pontide orogenic belt of the Eastern Sakarya Zone. This tectonic belt is an important part of the Anatolian plate in terms of containing igneous rocks with a wide age and composition range. This study presents new petrochemical-petrological data on Carboniferous granites in the G & uuml;neydere and surrounding area of Bayburt (NE Turkey). The granitic rocks, which include an area of approximately 5 km, represent the pre-Jurassic basement in the study area. Besides, they are unconformably overlain by Early- Middle Jurassic volcano-clastics units and Late Jurassic- Early Cretaceous limestones. They mainly consist ofgranite, granite porphyry and aplite, to a lesser extent granodiorite and quartz monzonite. Rocks have high SiO2 contents (60.43-75.51%) and high K calc-alkali to shoshonitic affinities and have been derived from an I-type source. The granitic rocks are metalumine-peralumine in character and are similar to postcollisional volcanic arc granitoids. Whole-rocks major and trace element trends show that plagioclase, hornblende, biotite, apatite, and Fe-Ti oxide mineral fractionations play an important role in the formation of the rocks. It has been revealed that fractional crystallization and assimilation+magma mixing processes play a role in the development of granites. Also, the saturation temperatures calculated from the whole-rock zircon values reflect lower initial magma temperatures. All results obtained indicate that parental magma of studied granitic rocks have evolved from lower/middle crust- derived melts as a result of partial melting and differentiated and emplaced in the continental magma chamber.

    Reconfigurable Optical Filter Based Receiver Structure For Visible Light Communication

    Küçük, Mehmet Ali; Albayrak, Cenk; Türk, Kadir

    In this paper, a novel receiver structure is proposed to mitigate the inter-channel interference (ICI) effects that limit the data rate in multi-color visible light communication (MC-VLC) systems. Reconfigurable optical filters (ROFs) are used at the receiver side of MC-VLC systems to enable the separation of color channels. ROFs are optical elements that have the ability to electrically change their transmission spectrum. Utilizing this feature of ROFs, a receiver structure is developed that, unlike traditional receiver structures, can adaptively adjust the transmit spectrum based on channel state information. This adaptive adjustment is aimed at maximizing communication performance by effectively separating color channels in MC-VLC systems. The obtained results demonstrate that the proposed receiver structure achieves higher communication performance compared to traditional receivers.

    The Development of The Self Efficacy Belief Scale for Teaching the Holy Qur'an

    Birinci, Ali; Akyildiz, Salih

    The teaching of the Qur'an can be defined as the process of planning, implementing, and evaluating external activities that support and enable the learning of the Qur'an. This process is carried out according to different age groups and levels in both formal and informal education institutions. The professional self-efficacy of the teachers/tutors plays an important role in the achievement of the goals set for the reading and teaching of the the Holy Qur'an. In this context, this research, which aims to develop a valid and reliable scale that can be used to measure self-efficacy beliefs in teaching the Holy Qur'an, was conducted using a survey design. The target population of the study consists of 570 teachers of religious culture and ethics working in formal education institutions in Trabzon. The study group was divided into two groups in order to conduct exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses, and the normality assumptions of both groups were satisfied. As a result of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) conducted on the first group data, a two-factor structure emerged. These factors were designated Reading the Holy Qur'an and Teaching the Holy Qur'an. The item load values exhibited a range of 0.642 to 0.889. It was observed that the first factor explained 36.239% of the variance, the second factor explained 33.857% of the variance, and the entire scale explained 70.096% of the variance, respectively. In the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) conducted on the second group data, chi 2/df: 2.635, RMSEA: 0.08, SRMR: 0.04, AGFI: 0.83, GFI: 0.88, CFI: 0.95, TLI: 0.94, NFI: 0.93 and IFI: 0.95 fit indices were obtained. The item-total correlations of the scale vary between 0.533 and 0.832. It was observed that the item discrimination analyses obtained as a result of the mean scores of the 27% lower and 27% upper groups of the scale were significant (p<.001) The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be .91 in the Reading the Holy Qur'an dimension, .94 in the Teaching the Holy Qur'an dimension, and .95 for the entire scale. the scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring teachers' and Qur'an course instructors' self-efficacy beliefs in teaching the Qur'an.

    Plateau Cuisine Culture as a Cultural Heritage: The Case of Gümüşhane

    Akyürek, Suat; Çalik, Ismail; Tas, Sedat; Pir, Rifat; Kaya, Fazil; Zeybek, Halil Ibrahim

    The large area of the mountainous and rugged areas in Turkiye have enabled the development of plateau activities and plateau culture. Plateaus, which are traditionally used for animal husbandry in Turkiye, have a characteristic of temporary settlement areas that are used for grazing animals, for small-scale agricultural activities or holiday in the summer months. Gumuhane (especially the lands in the north of the province) and its surroundings, where agricultural lands are narrow and fragmented, are among the areas where plateaus activities the most intense in our country. The plateaus, where the grass stays green for a long time, have significance for the people who are busy with animal husbandry in the region. Highlands, besides having various features, are also almost a hidden treasure of a cultural accumulation. Communities who changed their places for thousands of years between the plateau and winter season for animal husbandry first in Central Asia and then in Anatolia, they have evolved their culture as a result of their economic activities and geographical areas. Plateau cuisine is one of the most important elements of this culture. Plateau cuisine is one of the indispensable phenomena of plateau life, which has been practiced for centuries in Turkish social life. Plateau cuisine culture has gained a private identity with the addition of distinctive elements in many ways by time. Formation of culinary culture effected by many aspects. Such as; geographical region, socio-economic structure, traditions and customs, agriculture, animal husbandry, and technological developments. In the scope of this study, the last point reached by the plateau cuisine culture, which is a cultural heritage element, has been handled, and the positive and negative aspects of the plateau cuisine culture have been discussed in terms of development. To determine the current situation regarding the plateau cuisine on -site, the Gumuhane plateaus were carried out, where is one of the provinces of the Eastern Black Sea Region. The scope of these studies yielded with many interviews who are becoming highland residents, headmen, business owners, and various stakeholders. According to analyses, the plateau cuisine culture was categorized into four main themes and ten sub -themes. These four main themes constitute the basic structure of the Gumuhane plateau cuisine culture; it was concluded that animal products, agricultural products, local products, edible wild plants, and mushrooms. Each categorized theme was evaluated in the findings section based on the statements of the participants, observation and secondary data. Moreover, there is a decrease in the number of animals herded and the amount of cultivated land in the plateaus, the amount of animal and agricultural products produced by the plateau people in the past was high, but nowadays the households living in the plateaus are trying to produce enough for themselves in general, from the markets established in the central plateaus or from the markets close to the districts, and it was determined that they bought their basic needs. In addition, local foods made in the plateau are listed and it has been observed that the local food culture continues by using products specific to the region. Finally, suggestions have been offered to keep alive the plateau cuisine culture, ensure its continuity and transmit it to future generations as a cultural element.

    Analysis of Negative Attitudes and Behaviours Mentioned in the Parable of Prophet Lot in the Qur'an in terms of Values Education

    Balik, Emrah

    One of the educational methods emphasized and applied by the Qur'an is the use of parables. In this context, there are many stories of prophets, individuals and communities in the Qur'an. The inclusion of parables in the Qur'an serves a number of purposes. In this regard, there is a strong similarity between the purposes of parables and the purpose of the Quran's revelation, primarily to ensure that people take lessons. This is because the Qur'an includes the historical experiences of past prophets and nations through parables when it talks about individual issues and social events that concern human life. Qur'an emphasizes that within the stories of past prophets and communities, there are numerous lessons for people of understanding, and these are not fabrications but sources of mercy and guidance for believers. As a source of guidance for believers, the Qur'an aims to give people a new faith through parables, to lead them away from superstitious beliefs, in short, to change their lives. Based on this feature, Qur'anic parables have an important position in terms of values education. Undoubtedly, one of the methods that can be utilized in values education is the method of education through storytelling/narratives. Indeed, the Qur'anic parables are witnesses to the existence of values such as good, right, beautiful, lawful, etc. since Adam. Because narratives are as ancient as human history itself. In this respect, the many different role models and examples of positive and negative behaviors interspersed in the Qur'anic parables allow people at all levels to draw their own conclusions. The dramatic narratives about the roles represented by the different characters mentioned in the parables and the consequences of the behaviors arising from these roles lead to permanent changes in attitudes and behaviors in the addressees. In this context, each parable in the Qur'an is important in terms of values education. In this context, the parable of Lot is a parable that should be meticulously emphasized and analyzed in terms of its aim to impart a set of moral principles and virtues to today's individuals and societies. Indeed, the fact that the scope of the impact of Quranic parables is not limited to the societies in which they occurred historically, but also encompasses dimensions relevant to today's individuals and societies, underscores the necessity of examining the story of Prophet Lot from the perspective of values education. In this context, the subject of the article was determined as Analysis of Negative Attitudes and Behaviours Mentioned in the Parable of Prophet Lot in the Qur'an in terms of Values Education. Prophet Lot, during his forty years of prophethood, forbade his people, who were sinful and committed many evils, especially homosexual intercourse between men, from disobeying Allah Almighty, and invited them to the consciousness of servitude and obedience to Allah. In this context, the parable of Prophet Lot in the Holy Qur'an is a parablethat deals with individual and social morality and presents the related issue in a perfect style. According to the account narrated in this parable, the vile behaviors exhibited by the people of Prophet Lot (peace be upon him) illustrate how the mentioned society trampled upon individual and societal ethics. Even today, some individuals and societies abuse similar moral principles and virtues. In such cases, it is a social responsibility to remind people of the experiences of individuals and societies in the past who have disregarded these moral principles and virtues, and to help them draw a series of instructive conclusions. In this regard, fulfilling sexual needs within the framework of halal, as in every human need, is one of the issues that Islam insists on. In this context, it is also important to identify the negative attitudes and behaviors mentioned in the parable of Lot in order to inculcate a world life based on faith and ethics in today's individuals and societies. Only in this way can people learn the necessary lessons from the past and be protected from the same or similar immoralities.

    Examination of the Mediating Role of Attachment Dimensions in the Link between Suicide Probability and Cognitive Distortions about Relationships in University Students

    Yazici-Celebi, Gulin; Yilmaz, Muge; Karacoskun, Muhammed Enes; Sahin, Aybuke Irem

    Suicide, which is defined as an individual's intentionally attempting to end his or her life, is considered an important public health problem. In this study, it was aimed to examine the relationship between cognitive distortions and suicide probability in university students who are in age groups at risk for suicide, and to examine the mediating roles of the attachment dimensions of anxiety and avoidance, in this relationship. The study group consisted of 441 university students. In the study, Suicide Probability Scale, Experiences in Close Relationships Inventory, Cognitive Distortions in Relationships Scale and a personal information form were used as data collection tools. In accordance with the purpose of the study, a correlation analysis between variables and regression analyses were applied to examine the mediating roles of avoidance and anxiety in the relationship between cognitive distortions and suicide probability. The findings showed that there was a moderate positive correlational relationship between suicide probability scores and avoidance scores and there was a moderate positive correlational relationship between suicide probability scores and cognitive distortion scores. It was shown that there were low and moderate positive correlations between cognitive distortion scores, and avoidance and anxiety scores. The results of the mediation analyses showed that anxiety and avoidance had a partial mediating role in the relationship between cognitive distortion and suicide probability. The results were discussed in light of the literature.

    Portfolio Construction with Market Multipliers: An Application in BIST

    Yalçin, Selcuk

    In the portfolio construction process, it is an important process to correctly identify the stocks to be included in the portfolio. There are different studies in the literature that use different valuation methods to determine the right stocks. This study uses the market multipliers method to determine the stocks to be included in the portfolio. In the study, it is investigated whether a return above the return of the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) 100 Index can be obtained with the portfolios to be formed using the market multipliers method. For this purpose, portfolios were formed by using 3 different market multipliers (P/E, FV/EBITDA, and M/B) among the companies in 12 different sectors in the BIST. 15 different portfolios were formed for 5 years and the performance of each portfolio was analyzed. Return and risk calculations of these portfolios were made and compared with the BIST 100 Index. In the study, all of the portfolios created using market multiples provided lower risk and higher returns compared to the BIST 100 Index. In particular, the portfolios constructed with F/K and PD/DD multipliers provided better results. AAsAa result of the study, it was concluded that it would be beneficial for investors to create portfolios by using F/K and PD/DD multipliers in portfolio construction processes.

    Decoding Inflation: Role of Institutional Quality in Türkiye Using Advanced Econometric Techniques

    Çiçen, Yildirim Beyazit

    Persistent inflation remains a significant economic challenge in T & uuml;rkiye. The causes of high inflation have been examined through various factors, including supply and demand, as well as monetary and fiscal policies. However, few studies have included institutional factors in their analyses. The objective of this study is to determine whether institutional quality affects inflation in T & uuml;rkiye. A novel and robust econometric analysis method is employed in this study. Between 2005 and 2019, the inflation rate, the International Country Risk Guide's (ICRG) Political Risk Rating index, which measures the quality of institutional structure, and the changes in currency exchange rate basket variables in T & uuml;rkiye were examined using the Fourier KPSS stationarity test and the Fourier Shin cointegration test. The results of the analysis indicate that inflation rate is co-integrated with institutional quality. The deterioration of institutional quality in T & uuml;rkiye between 2005 and 2019 has been associated with an increase in inflation. While the implicit inflation targeting period in the inflation targeting regime implemented in T & uuml;rkiye after 2002 was relatively successful, the explicit inflation targeting period failed to reduce inflation. The primary reason for the inability to achieve the specified inflation targets during these periods is the deterioration in the quality of institutions. It is also important to note that central bank independence is not immune to political influence and is one of the most important factors affecting inflation targeting.

    Babanzada's Methodological Critique of Mansurizada on the Subject of Polygamy

    Gönan, Yavuz

    Usul al-Fikh is a branch of science that aims to analyze the subjects within the scope of Islamic law according to a certain method and hierarchy. According to general and traditional acceptance, this hierarchy consists of the kitab, sunna, idjma. and kiyas, which are called al-adilla al-shar'iyya / al-adilla al-arb'.a. According to those who hold this view, this hierarchy should be taken into account when finding a solution to a legal problem. The above hierarchy also reflects the epistemological understanding of Islamic law, i.e., the source of knowledge and the method of its application. Accordingly, the source of knowledge is revelation, and reason functions as a method for understanding the verses and hadiths that reflect revelation. Since revelation is static and social demands and needs are variable or dynamic, people who will use reason, i.e. mudjtahids or jurists, have important tasks to perform in order to find solutions to these new situations. If we look at the history of Islamic jurisprudence, we will see many examples of the solutions that the mudjtahids developed for the new situations, demands, and needs that arose, as well as the quality of the method they used to develop these solutions. Throughout Islamic history, Muslim societies have experienced many events, such as the Crusades and the Mongol invasion, which have affected their social institutions and dynamics. These events have led to changes and transformations in Muslim societies, and Islamic law has tried to find solutions to the problems arising from these events. One of the greatest transformative (traumatic) forces facing Islamic societies is the phenomenon of Westernization and the social demands and needs it brings with it. During the final decades of the Ottoman Empire, particularly during the First and Second Constitutional Periods, the topics of 'family' and 'women' constituted some of the most pressing social concerns of the era. These issues, which were shaped by the process of Westernization, prompted considerable debate within the social sphere. The issue of polygamy, which has a legal dimension as well, is the most debated issue of this problem and has been the subject of a considerable number of articles both for and against it. Given the absence of legal regulation on family law in the Medjelle, which was regarded as the Civil Code of the period, there was a clear expectation and demand for the elimination of this deficiency. In response to these expectations, the Hukuk-i 'A'ile Karar-namesi was prepared in 1917 and entered into force. Prior to the decree's enactment, there were significant discussions among Ottoman intellectuals, including Babanzada Ahmad Na'im (1872-1934) and Mansurizada Sa'id Bey (1848-1921), particularly regarding polygamy. In these debates, there were those who argued that a law could be enacted to make monogamous marriage compulsory and prohibit polygamy. Conversely, there were also those who opposed this. Mansurizada, who considers polygamy to be an impediment to societal advancement as Babanzada asserts, posits that the legislative authority has the prerogative to prohibit polygamy by making monogamous marriage obligatory through legal regulation. He posits that the issue of polygamy falls within the purview of dja'iz, and that the legislator is thus empowered to enact legal regulations pertaining to a subject that falls within the scope of dja'iz. On the contrary, Babanzada posits that this matter is not within the purview of dja'iz, and thus the legislator is unable to enact legislation to restrict polygamy. In essence, the debate between them is a debate of method. It is evident that both intellectuals sought to persuade the public while presenting their views and employed certain methods to substantiate their views in the articles they wrote for this purpose. Mansurizada employs the syllogism method in the science of logic as a means of regulating polygamy through legal means. According to Babanzada, the use of such a method is to reverse the hierarchy of the al-adilla al-shar'iyya. Therefore, the assertion put forth by Mansurizada, namely that marriage with one spouse would be legally mandated, is problematic. He maintains that polygamy is subject to regulation through the kitab, sunna, idjma., and that it cannot be subjected to a new regulation using the method employed by Mansurizada. Otherwise, the legislator would be exceeding his authority and intervening in an area that is legally regulated by the Shari'ah. This is an untenable state of affairs. The present study will elucidate Babanzada's critiques of Mansurizada's methodology, which was predicated on the premise that polygamy could be constrained by legal regulation on the basis of Usul al-Fikh.

    Cultural Representation Practices and Meaning Production: Expression of Religious and National Values with Symbols

    Kiziloglu, Sadiye Kotanli

    The symbols that people use to express themselves are used as an indicator of national consciousness, holiness, faith and religion. The value and importance they attach to these forms of expression are embodied especially with some symbols, and they become an important means of expressing oneself. Each user has symbols that they use for different purposes. The use of accessories with symbols containing Islamic meaning or figures reflecting national values has become common, especially in recent times. It is observed that different figures are used by different users around us, and it is assumed that these uses have a value not only in terms of aesthetics but also in terms of communication. Based on this assumption, the study investigates how users use icons as a means of communication, the data obtained is evaluated in line with their own opinions, and the purposes of their use are tried to be revealed. In this context, the subject of the study is the use of religious and national symbols in the context of communication in daily life. In this study, the purpose or intention of the symbols used in a way that can express a meaning at the social level is analyzed through objects used in daily life in line with user opinions, and the importance of symbols in the context of communication is evaluated. In this context, the aim of the study is to determine for what purposes and in what way the symbols thought to represent religious and national values are used as a form of visual communication. In the study, it is questioned within which meaning patterns a person establishes his values, beliefs, thoughts or point of view, not verbally but non-verbally, with the use of symbols. In this context, it is aimed to reveal the users' purpose, intention or desire of using symbols in the context of communication. Qualitative research technique was used and three questions were asked to the users using the semi-structured interview technique. Users were determined by criterion sampling, one of the purposeful sampling types, and a total of 26 people, 10 of whom were women, were interviewed. The data obtained as a result of the interview was subjected to qualitative content analysis, and codes, categories and themes were identified while interpreting the data. Themes regarding the answers given for each category were interpreted in the context of communication. According to the results obtained from the study, symbols containing religious and national values are used by both male and female users along with accessories such as rings, necklaces, bracelets and watches. While the letter Allah and the letters Elif Vav are frequently used in the use of religious symbols, the symbols of the star and crescent, IYI, crescent, tugra, double-headed eagle, gray wolf are used to express national feelings. As a result, symbolic objects are designed to reflect national feelings and thoughts; as a means of spiritual satisfaction that provides peace and happiness; reflecting the ideological point of view and being a transmitter of social identity; have religious meaning and value as an indicator of faith it has been determined that it has purposes of use such as protection from evil eyes and being a means of psychological relaxation.

    Reflections on the Criticisms of Ibrahim al-Nakha'i (d.96/714)

    Futsi, Ali

    Although Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʻī, one of the greatest representatives of the school of jurisprudence in Kufa in the second half of the first century A.H., was considered reliable and reputable both in his own time and among the scholars of later periods, he was subjected to the criticisms of some Ahl al-Hadith scholars. It noteworthy that a significant portion of these criticisms is directed towards al-Nakhaʻī's orientation as a hadith scholar rather than his identity as a jurist. For example, when the allegations against al-Nahāʾī that he rejected hadiths and that he had little semāʾ are examined, it can be said that he actually sought some criteria such as the conformity of the narrations to the practice of Kūfah in addation to some of the conditions he sought in the narrators. Therefore, these allegations are not supported by any data; on the contrary, they show that al-Nakhaʻī's method of receiving hadith was based on solid foundations. In addition, this situation shows that the school of Kūfah took a different approach to the evaluation of hadiths than the Ahl al-Hadith, who took a literal view of the issue. The reasons for al-Nakhaʻī's narration of ḥadīth in the sense the meaing are his jurisprudential orientation and his opposition to the writing of ḥadīth. This shows that he narrated hadith based on a jurisprudential methodology and that he was the pioneer of the school later known as the Hanafites in the first century of the Hijr, who approached hadith in a different way than the Ahl al-Hadith. The fact that al-Nakhaʻī focused on the jurisprudential parts of the ḥadith and did not use writing in narrating the ḥadith is among the main reasons for his tendency towards narration by meaning, while the absence of any criticism against al-Nakhaʻī except for the narration of Ibn Sīrīn (d. 110/729) shows that Ibn 'Awn's (d. 151/768) criticism did not go beyond a personal opinion. There is no explicit criticism of al-Nakhaʻī's mursal narrations other than the evaluation of their authenticity and weakness, and no critical commentary has been identified except Ibn Hajar's (d. 852/1449) statement that "he was a sika, but he used to mursal a lot". In the evaluations of the Ahl al-Hadith who criticized Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʻī's mursal narrations, the influence of their approach to mursal narrations can be observed. Although it has been said that al-Nakhaʻī made mistakes in the Arabic language, it is not correct to say that someone whose name is included in the most authentic isnads and whose narrations with meaning are accepted by hadith scholars does not have a good command of Arabic. Moreover, al-Nakhaʻī is also Arab in terms of ancestry. His statement about Abū Hurayra (d. 58/678), "He is not a jurist," is prominent in a report quoted by al- Dhahabi (d. 748/1348). However, in other sources, these criticisms are presented in general terms and seen as a general tendency of the school of Kūfah. al-Nakhaʻī's statements generally reflect the views of the school of Kūfah and the focus of criticism is on the people of Kūfah rather than al-Nakhaʻī himself. The criticisms of Abū Hurayra's narrations were not limited to Hanafīs, but were also made by Ahl al-Hadith scholars on similar grounds. Therefore, if a criticism is to be made, it should be addressed within a general framework, not by reducing it to al-Nakhaʻī’s person. Although there are a few examples of al-Nakhaʻī's association with Shiʿism, it is not compatible with the Shiʿite sect in general. Dhahabi 's definitions show that al-Nakhaʻī should rather be evaluated within the framework of Ahl al-Sunnah. Ibn Qutayba's (d. 276/889) categorization of al-Nakhaʻī as a Shīʿī does not coincide with the Shīʿī understanding of later periods and leads to a wrong conclusion. There is not enough evidence for al-Nakhaʻī to be considered a Shīʿī, so it is not correct to attribute him to this sect. al-Nakhaʻī used ra'y in matters of jurisprudence, but he rejected this method in matters of faith and even argued that ra'y was bid'ah. While he generally used the word 'ra'y' for the bid'ah sects in matters of belief, he used ra’y in practical matters and produced solutions by making qiyās in matters about which there was no clear ruling. However, he adhered to the narrations in matters where there was a hadith. al-Nakhaʻī's devotion to narrations and his tendency to make qiyās in matters where there was no hadith played a major role in shaping the school of fiqh in Kūfah. In conclusion, it can be said that al-Nakhaʻī used ra'y and qiyās in fiqh, but he rejected these methods in matters of faith and adhered to the narrations.

    The Effect of Servant Leadership on Work Engagement: The Mediating Role of Person-Organization Fit

    Kenek, Gokhan

    This study aimed to explore the relationship between servant leadership and work engagement and investigate the mediating role of personorganization fit in this relationship. The research was conducted in July 2023 on blue-collar employees in the glass industry in the Marmara Region. A total of 266 employees participated in the survey. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted using the MPLUS7 package program, and hypotheses were tested using the SPSS26 program. The results of the analyses indicated that servant leadership positively influences person-organization fit and work engagement. Additionally, it was found that person-organization fit increases work engagement. Furthermore, it was revealed that person-organization fit partially mediates the effect of servant leadership on work engagement.

    Relationship between Organic Agriculture And GDP Per Capita, Economic Growth, and Unemployment: Panel Data Analysis

    Merdan, Kurtulus

    The increase in the world population recently has also increased the need for agricultural products. The need for food products has made it necessary to obtain more products per unit area. At this point, producers have focussed on the use of hormones, chemicals, and fertilisers to increase productivity and meet the demand for cheap food, and the process that increases production in the short term has become a threat to human health in the long term. Over time, the negative effects of chemicals on humans and the environment were observed, forcing producers to seek new methods. This process has led to independent studies on organic agriculture in every country. In this study, the effects of organic agriculture on some economic variables were revealed. In this context, the analyses focus now the variables of area allocated to organic agriculture on a regional basis, production amount and number of producers affected GDP per capita, economic growth, and unemployment in Turkey between 2003 and 2021. The scientific dimension of the study was prepared using data obtained from domestic and foreign literature and the electronic database of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock. In this study, in which panel data analysis was used, EViews 12 programme was employed. For the variables used in the study, the geographical region cross-section dependence was determined, and the stationarity of the series was examined with the CIPS (Cross-Sectionally Augmented IPS) unit root test. As a result of the study, it was determined that organic production amount, number of organic farmers, and organic production area did not have a significant effect on economic growth and unemployment. Organic production area and the number of organic farmers had a positive and significant effect on GDP per capita, but the amount of organic production did not have a significant relationship

    Psychometric validation of the Persian version of Philanthropy Scale in university students

    Güngör, Sunay; Ersanli, Ercumend; Karimi, Kambiz; Öztürk, Mesut

    In this study, we culturally adapted the Philanthropy Scale for Iranian university students, assessing its validity and reliability. Our sample included 600 students from Tehran and Tabriz universities. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) validated the three-factor model, demonstrating excellent fit values. Internal consistency, measured by Cronbach's Alpha, was alpha = .838 for the total score. Sub-dimensions had values of alpha = .812 (not being self-seeking and being sincere), alpha = .745 (love and unconditional acceptance), and alpha = .689 (honesty). Spearman-Brown correlation coefficients, assessed via the split-half method, were r = .825 for the total score, r = .757 (not being self-seeking and being sincere), r = .705 (love and unconditional acceptance), and r = .769 (honesty). These results signify robust reliability.
