Trt Repertuvarında Yer Alan Dokuz Zamanlı Ölçülmüş Türkülerin Aksak Usûlüne Göre İrdelenmesi ve Aksak Usûlündeki Türkülerin Öğretimine Yönelik Öğretim Modeli Önerisi
Authors: TOPRAK Betül
Published: June 2019

Usûl, müziğin iki temel unsurundan (ses, ritm)
biridir. Köklü geçmişi ile Türk
müziği icrası ve eğitiminde önemli bir yere sahip olmuştur. Notanın mûsikî
dünyasına girmesi ile birlikte usûl uygulamalı eğitim sistemi olan Meşkin
kullanımı giderek azalmış ve Türk müziği eserleri batı nota sistemi esas
alınarak notaya alınan nüshalardan icra edilir olmuştur. Cumhuriyet döneminde
yapılmış olan derleme çalışmalarında, türkülerin notaya alınması da aynı bakış
açısı ile olmuştur. Türkülerin Türk müziği usûl kuramından uzak bir tutum ile
kendi gereklerince irdelenmemesi; türkülerde usûl tespitlerinin yanlış yapılmasına,
türkülerin; okunması zor ve yöre, tür, tavır vb. açıları yansıtmaktan yetersiz
bir şekilde notaya alınmasına sebebiyet vermiştir. Araştırmamıza konu olan
Aksak usûlündeki türkülerin mevcut notalar ile icra edilemediği ve bu notaların
THM eğitiminde kullanılamadığı görülmektedir. Dolayısıyla bu konunun çözüme
kavuşturulması, mevcut âsarın doğru intikal edebilmesi için önemlidir. Bu
araştırmada, TRT THM repertuvarındaki 9 zamanlı ölçülmüş türküler, Aksak
usûlüne göre irdelenmiştir ve Aksak usûlündeki türkülerin öğretimine yönelik
bir öğretim modeli önerilmiştir.

Mevlânâ
Celaleddin Rumî ile oğlu Sultan Veled’in sandukalarının bulunduğu Kubbe-i Hadrâ
namıyla maruf Türbe yapısının 1274 yılında mimar Tebrizli Bedrettin tarafından
inşa edildiği bilinmektedir

Türbenin
inşasında Alâmeddin Kayser’n maddi ve manevi desteklerinin bulunduğu bilinmekle
birlikte günümüzdeki mevcut yapının o dönemde inşa edilen ilk kubbe olup
olmadığı, daha sonraki dönemlerde değişikliğe uğradığı hakkında farklı bilgiler
nakledilmiş olmakla birlikte bugün için kesin bir bilgiye sahip değiliz.

Yeşil
kubbenin iç mekânında yer alan kalem işi tezyinatın Sultan II. Bayezid
döneminde yapılmış olduğunu, Kalem işi tezyinatı yapan sanatçının da Halepli
Mevlevi Mehmet oğlu Abdurrahman olduğu güney cephenin duvar yüzeyinde yer alan
kitabelerden anlaşılmaktadır. Kitabede tarih bulunmamakla birlikte II.
Bayezid’in saltanat dönemi 1481 -1512 yılları arası olduğu dikkate alındığında
tezyinatın da bu zaman diliminin herhangi bir noktasında yapılmış olduğu düşünülmektedir. 

2019
yılında tamamlanan restorasyon sonucunda ortaya çıkan ve söz konusu devrin özgün
tezyinat özelliklerini taşıyan nakışlar, Kubbe-i Hadrâ’nın beş yüz yıllık bir
süreçte yapısal ve sanatsal değişikliğe uğramadığını göstermektedir.
Datça Hızırşah Kilisesi

Published: June 2019

Muğla ilinin Datça ilçesi sınırları
içerisinde yer alan eser, antik dönemden itibaren zengin kültür varlıklarına ev
sahipliği yapan Datça yarımadasındaki Osmanlı dönemine ait tek kilisedir. Osmanlı
devletinde 1774 tarihli Küçük Kaynarca Antlaşması ile başlayan azınlıklara
yeniden kilise inşa etme izni sonrasında gelişen süreçte, Anadolu’da Hıristiyan
azınlıkların yaşadığı bölgelerde yoğun imar faaliyetleri gerçekleşmiştir.
Osmanlı padişahlarının himayesinde gerçekleşen bu faaliyetlerde birçok eski
yapı ya tamir edilmiş ya da yeni kiliseler inşa edilmiştir. Bu kapsamda inşa
edilen yapılardan Anadolu’nun en güney batı noktasında yer alan, Datça
Yarımadasındaki tek Osmanlı dönemi kilisesi olan Datça Hızırşah Kilisesi
çalışmamızın konusunu oluşturmaktadır.  Ortaçağ’a
ait bir kilise kalıntısı üzerine inşa edildiği düşünülen yapı, doğu-batı
doğrultusunda tek nefli dikdörtgen planlıdır. Doğu cephesine eklenmiş içten
yarım daire, dıştan ise yedi cepheli bir apsisi bulunan eserin bir kitabesi
bulunmamakla birlikte, son yıllarda gerçekleştirilen restorasyon çalışmalarında
naos duvarında ortaya çıkarılan 1890 tarihinin inşa tarihi olabileceği
düşünülmektedir.  Kuzey girişin
sövesindeki taş süsleme, naos içerisinde yer alan duvar paye başlıkları ve naos
duvarlarındaki silmelerde bulunan stuko süslemeler ile naosun beşik tonoz
örtüsünde yer alan kalem işi süslemeler, yapının süsleme programını
oluşturmaktadır. 2015-2017 yılları arasında gerçekleştirilen restorasyon
çalışmaları ile bugünkü halini alan yapı, günümüzde Hızırşah Kültür Evi olarak
hizmet görmektedir. Bu çalışmada Datça Hızırşah Kilisesi’nin mimari ve süsleme
özellikleri ayrıntılı bir şekilde tanımlanarak; Osmanlı dönemi Anadolu kilise
mimarisi içerisindeki yeri, benzer örnekler eşliğinde değerlendirilecektir.

Introduction
Authors: Tošić Jelena , Lems Annika
Published: June 2019

Th is contribution introduces the collection of texts in this special section of Migration and Society exploring contemporary patterns of im/mobility between Africa and Europe. It proposes an ontological-epistemological framework for investigating present-day movements via three core dimensions: (1) a focus on im/mobility explores the intertwinement of mobility and stasis in the context of biographical and migratory
pathways and thus goes beyond a binary approach to migration; (2) an existential and dialogical-ethnographic approach zooms in on individual experiences of im/mobility and shows that the personal-experiential is not apolitical, but represents a realm of everyday struggles and quests for a good life; and (3) a genealogical-historical dimension explores present-day migratory quests through their embeddedness within legacies of (post)colonial power relations and interconnections and thus counteracts the hegemonic image of immigration from Africa as having no history and legitimacy.
Migration as Survival
Authors: Perl Gerhild
Published: June 2019

How to write about survival? How to tell survival? By exploring manifold reasons to withhold a story, I shed light on the limits of ethnographic knowledge production and the politics of storytelling that mobilize one story and silence another. Through engaging with the fragmented narrative of a Moroccan survivor of a shipwreck in Spanish waters in 2003, I reconceptualize the movement called “migration as survival” by theorizing it as an ethnographic concept. I explore the different temporalities of survival as living through a life-threatening event and as living on in an unjust world. These interrelated temporalities of survival are embedded in the afterlife of the historical time of al-Andalus and the resurgent fear of the Muslim “Other.” By suggesting an existentially informed political understanding of the survival story, I show how the singularity of the survivor is inscribed in a regime of mobility that constrains people and their stories.
“Looking for One’s Life”
Authors: Bachelet Sébastien
Published: June 2019

This article examines how “irregular” migrants from West and Central Africa make sense of their trapped mobility in Morocco: for many, crossing into Europe has become almost impossible, returning to home countries “empty-handed” a shameful option, and staying very difficult in the face of repeated infringement of their rights. I explore the limits of contemporary depictions of a “migration crisis” that portray migrants south of the Mediterranean Sea as simply en route to Europe and fail to engage with (post)colonial entanglements. The article recalibrates the examinationof migrants’ lived experiences of stasis and mobility by exploring the emic notion of “adventure” among migrants “looking for their lives.” A focus on how migrants articulate their own (im)mobility further exposes and defies the pitfalls of abstract concepts such as “transit migration,” which is misleading in its implication of a fixed destination.

In this work, the possibility of combining the methods of chemical functionalization of a mixture of polychlorinated biphenyls before the formation of a mixture of hydroxy- and methoxy-chlorinated biphenyls and the bacterial transformation of the compounds obtained with the aim of their utilization was investigated. As a result of a 100% conversion, a mixture of compounds identified as methoxy- (30 compounds), hydroxy- (44 compounds) and methoxy (hydroxy) derivatives (47 compounds) was obtained by reacting a mixture of Sovol with MeONa in MeOH and DMSO. PCB congeners. The total content of all hydroxy derivatives was 77.2%. It was established that the strain Rhodococcus wratislaviensis KT112-7 carries out the destruction of 73-93% of this mixture at the initial concentration of 0.25-1.50 g/l. The best result was obtained with a decomposition of 0.1 g/l of a mixture of methoxy- and hydroxy-polychlorobiphenyls (on the 10th day the total absence of the starting compounds). The specific rate of destruction was in direct correlation with the initial concentration of the mixture. It has been shown that during bacterial transformation there is no accumulation of toxic intermediate compounds.

In the framework of this work, the compositions Li (Ni0.33Mn0.33Co0.33)1-xFexO2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) of the tetrahedron LiNiO2-LiMnO2-LiCoO2-LiFeO2 were investigated. The samples were synthesized by the gel combustion method with starch. For the first time it was obtained without admixtures LiNi0.2Mn0.2Co0.2Fe0.4O2 solid solution with a layered crystalline structure a-NaFeO2, which can be used as a cathode material of lithium-ion batteries. An electrochemical testing of the homogeneous sample LiNi0.2Mn0.2Co0.2Fe0.4O2 and the sample with a minimum iron content LiNi0.3Mn0.3Co0.3Fe0.1O2 was conducted. The results show feasibility of further studying the homogeneity region and the properties of the solid solution Li (Ni, Mn, Co, Fe)O2.
The fault system controlling methane seeps on the shelf of the Laptev Sea
Authors: Baranov B. V. , Lobkovsky L. I. , Dozorova K. A. , Tsukanov N. V.
Published: June 2019

The paper presents data obtained during the 69th and 72nd expeditions of the research vessel Akademik Mstislav Keldysh (2017, 2018). A mechanism of methane discharge that explains the localization of the seep fields in a limited area of the outer shelf and suggesting a system of deep and surface faults is proposed. Along the deep faults, gas fluid is transferred to the upper strata of the sedimentary cover, where it is accumulated below the gas hydrate stability zone and the permafrost horizon. The surface faults of the outer shelf break this caprock, creating conduits for the gas to migrate to the surface and to jet-release into the water column.

The article describes the experiment “Murman-2018” on remote electromagnetic sounding in combination with frequency and audio magnetotelluric soundings. The current from 29 kW power car-generator was fed into the ground using two mutually orthogonal grounded electric dipoles 1.6 and 1.9 km long. The measurements were carried out along three traces with maximum distances from the source up to 105 km in the mode of frequency sounding (in the range of 4-1000 Hz) and up to 56 km in the mode of remote sensing at direct current. The data processing was performed in the spectral mode and in the accumulation mode. The results of the experiment made it possible to quantify for the first time in the scientific literature the position of the boundary of a sharp increase in rock resistance at a depth of 10-15 km. The nature of the established boundary (the boundary of the “impenetrability” for direct current) is associated with the transition of the properties of the rocks of the Earth's crust from the fragile state in the upper crust to a plastic state at depths of 10-15 km and more. In foreign literature, this boundary is defined as the BDT-zone (brittle-ductile transition zone).

Este trabajo tiene como finalidad hacer una valoración y análisis correlacional y diferencial de variables motivacionales para comprobar la influencia en el aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico del alumnado universitario de Educación. En concreto, con una muestra  de 1558 estudiantes (74.5% mujeres y 24.5% varones), con una edad media de 21.7 años  y provenientes de 22 centros universitarios de República Dominicana, se pretende  conocer si las dimensiones de los procesos atribucionales, los factores de las metas académicas y del autoconcepto, además de la autoeficacia muestran, por una parte, valores   significativos de correlación con los enfoques de aprendizaje y el rendimiento académico y, además, si poseen un potencial y capacidad predictiva relevante sobre dichos enfoques de aprendizaje y de  rendimiento académico del propio alumnado. Los resultados muestran la existencia de correlaciones significativas relevantes de los principales factores y variables motivacionales con los Enfoques de Aprendizaje de Orientación Superficial (Eorsp)  y al Significado y Comprensión (Eorsg), así como con el Rendimiento académico (Rendbach). A través de modelos predictivos con análisis de regresión lineal múltiple se ha comprobado que factores importantes de atribuciones causales, como Atribución al esfuerzo y a la capacidad (Aec), y de Metas de aprendizaje y organización del estudio (Maore), de Estrategias de aprendizaje y organización del trabajo académico (Eorta), así como la Autoeficacia (Aef) poseen una alta capacidad predictiva sobre ambos enfoques de aprendizaje (Eorsg y Eorsp) y un bajo potencial predictivo sobre el Rendimiento académico. Otras variables como las Metas de valoración social (Mvs), Metas de rendimiento (Mr) y Metas de evitación de fracaso (Mef), así como Atribuciones causales a las materias y a la suerte (Fms) poseen valores medios de capacidad predictiva sobre los Enfoques superficiales de aprendizaje (Eorsp). Con estos resultados considerados relevantes, se han elaborado  unas conclusiones y propuestas dirigidas a la mejora de los procesos de enseñanza/aprendizaje para el profesorado y alumnado de Educación de los centros universitarios de República Dominicana.
alfabetización de los futuros docentes en investigación educativa: Una reflexión teórica desde el contexto de Chile
Authors: Perines Haylen , Campaña Karla
Published: June 2019

El presente artículo busca describir cómo se puede alfabetizar a los futuros docentes en investigación educativa con la mirada puesta en Chile y Latinoamérica, asumiendo que su formación académica de pregrado carece de un sistema intencionado para educarlos al respecto. En la revisión teórica, se describen cuatro elementos que deben ser considerados por los actores educativos involucrados en el desarrollo de la carrera docente: 1) la presencia de la investigación en los programas y en el perfil de egreso de las carreras de pedagogía; 2) la importancia de que los formadores de profesores tengan un rol investigador activo; 3) la utilización de los artículos de investigación como recurso pedagógico; 4) la incorporación de estudiantes de pedagogía en proyectos de investigación, asumiendo que es fundamental que los docentes del mañana desarrollen gradualmente un habitus investigativo que contribuya a su mejor preparación profesional. Como principales hallazgos destacamos la idea defendida por Catalán (2017) en cuanto alfabetizar a los futuros docentes implica la compleja tarea de comprender que como educadores no solo deben ser receptores o consumidores de conocimiento, sino que también deben participar en su producción. El artículo finaliza con algunas reflexiones a modo de conclusión que enfatizan los cambios urgentes y las profundas transformaciones que necesita la formación docente en materia de investigación.

POST-TREATMENT FOLLOW-UP OF NASOPHARYNGEAL CARCINOMA PATIENTS: A REVIEW
Authors: Mayangsari Ika Dewi
Published: June 2019

Introduction

Locoregional failure of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) occurs despite the aggressive treatment that has been done. Optimal and accurate follow-up schedule after the radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy sessions could improve the patient's quality of life (QoL).

Discussion

Kwong et al. reported complete histological remission within 3 months after therapy and positive histological signs at >12 weeks considered a persistent disease. Kong et al. (2017) showed that the pathological treatment response using CT scan and MRI and stated that the median time to full regressions is 4.9 months. Some studies also reported that primary tumor continuously regressed >4 months after treatment and delayed remission >12 weeks is not a prognostic factor for poor survival.

The use of MRI is superior to CT scan to detect residual or recurrent NPC. MRI showed good results in differentiating mature scar and tumor, whereas CT scan could not differentiate fibrosis and tumor because of the radiation therapy-induced inflammation. On the other hand, PET-CT has higher sensitivity compared to CT scan and MRI, but poor cost-effectiveness. Various studies and NCCN 2018 guidelines recommend the use of imaging between the third and sixth months after therapy to evaluate treatment response. 

Conclusion

Assessment of treatment-related late toxicities also an important factor to improve patient’s QoL. Evaluation of nutrition, speech difficulties, swallowing, hearing, dental care should be done annually and peer support groups can help improve patient’s QoL.

Assessment of residual disease should be done at the minimum of 10 weeks after the completion of the therapy and long-term follow-up is a must because locoregional recurrences of NPC are common within the first two to three years after the treatment.
Oil Consumption and Economic Growth in Turkey: An ARDL Bounds Test Approach in the Presence of Structural Breaks
Authors: Özaydın Özgür , Güzel H. Alper
Published: June 2019

The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between oil consumption and income in Turkey, using annual data from 1961 to 2016. The stationarity properties of the series are analyzed with Lee and Strazicizh (2003), unit root test allowing for two structural breaks, along with the conventional unit root tests namely ADF, PP and KPSS. Due to conflicting findings of the unit root tests, ARDL bounds test approach to cointegration is used to capture the relationship between oil consumption and income. The findings of the ARDL bounds test indicated that oil and income are cointegrated. The causal relationship between the variables is also examined by employing Toda and Yamamoto (1995), approach to Granger non-causality. The outcomes of the Toda and Yamamoto (1995), procedure showed that the direction of the causality is running from real GDP to oil consumption, but not vice versa. Both bounds test and Toda and Yamamoto (1995), test results reveal that, energy conservation policies will not harm economic growth in Turkey.
An Assessment of the Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on Employment: The Case of Ghana’s Economy
Authors: Eric Osei Addo
Published: June 2019

The literature is in respect of the fact that foreign direct investment has been a key aspect of the development strategy of most developing countries. The main objective of the study is to examine the extent FDI influence employment creation in the non-mining sector of Ghana for the period 2000 – 2016 using time series (annual) data conducted with the aid of OLS (Multiple Linear Regression) model, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL-ECM) Bounds Testing Approach and Granger-Causality test in the estimation of level relationship / cointegration and causality (respectively) between the study variables (for robustness checks). The result of this study shows that FDI has a statistically significant and a positive impact on employment growth via jobs creation in Ghana. Again, evidence shows that the study variables are cointegrated and have a long run relationship. Further robust test from Granger-causality shows no causal relationship from FDI to employment growth or from employment growth to FDI (at significance level of 5%). In addition, the study identifies factors such as wage structure, investment freedom and subsectors as important indicators influencing employment in the country. Finally, the study recommends policies to help create enabling political and socio-economic environment for FDI thereby creating more sustainable jobs and tackling the current high rates of unemployment in Ghana.
The Effectiveness of State and Non-State Actors in Combating Human Trafficking and Ensuring Safe Migration Concerns of Zimbabwean Women
Authors: Wellington Teya , Jeffrey Kurebwa
Published: June 2019

This study focuses on the effectiveness of State and Non-state actors in combating human trafficking and ensuring safe migration of Zimbabwean women. The study relied on qualitative research methodology while data was gathered through primary and documentary search. Respondents were purposively selected from victims of human trafficking and organisations that deal with combating human trafficking. These included IOM, Zimbabwe Republic Police (ZRP) Human Trafficking Desk, Ministry of Justice, Legal and Parliamentary Affairs. The study revealed that human trafficking in Zimbabwe thrives under conditions of vulnerability which are caused by various factors ranging from poverty, limited educational opportunities, poor economic conditions, gender and age. A strong relationship between Government and NGOs’ inadequate adherence to the Palermo Protocol standards and escalation of human trafficking was also exposed. Though Zimbabwean has several laws that deals with human trafficking, implementation of these laws still remains a challenge. This has contributed to the escalation of human trafficking cases from Zimbabwe to neighbouring countries, particularly South Africa.

Published: June 2019

Resistance to internal browning of pineapple fruits depends on several factors such as the cultural techniques through mineral fertilization. The objective of this work is to study the effects of the potassium fertilization for pineapple on internal browning of fruit in post-harvest conservation. The experiments have been carried out on the site of the University Nangui Abrogoua (Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire) of July 2015 to the end of October 2016. Potassium has been applied according to four modalities of treatments (T0; T1; T2 and T3) made in 2nd, 4, 6 and 7th months (respectively) after plantation. The incidence of internal browning (IB), the phenolic content, sugars and ascorbic acid have been determined after post-harvest conservation of fruit. The activity of phenolic biosynthesis enzymes (PAL and TAL) and oxidation enzymes (PPO and POD) were evaluated. The results showed that BI intensity in pineapple fruit decreases with the potassium amount applied in field. This IB drop was correlated with the content of reducing sugars, total phenols, activity of PAL and the PPO. No symptom of IB was observed on pineapple fruits under treatment T2 (34 g of K2O/plant). Potassium has a depressive effect on phenolic biosynthesis. In effect, it inhibits the IB in the both varieties of pineapple studied that are Smooth Cayenne and MD2.

Several recent studies have found that there are issues with the implementation of higher order thinking skills from aspects such as lack of knowledge on the educators’ part, inadequate understanding of the strategies to inculcate HOTs amongst teachers, insufficient materials and references to teach HOTs and improper environmental settings to instil the learning of HOTs in the education classrooms. Teachers lack the appropriate pedagogical knowledge to teach HOT (Fisher, 1999; Zohar, 1999; Zohar and Schwartzer, 2005). This paper analyses further the implementation of higher order thinking skills for the teaching and learning of HOTs which is of paramount importance in order to address these rife matters.

New evidence on Para-Mongolic numerals
Authors: Hölzl Andreas
Published: June 2019

Para-Mongolic is a technical term that designates languages that were related to the Mongolic languages, but which split off from this lineage before Proto-Mongolic times. One source of knowledge for Para-Mongolic comes from loanwords in surrounding languages, of which borrowed numerals in the Tungusic language Jurchen are a well-known example. The paper presents new evidence found in Tungusic languages that were previously almost unknown in the West and briefly sketches the place of those languages within the Tungusic family.
