Attitude of the community towards the deceased is also visible in the look of graveyards in a country. Their regular maintenance is of special importance because it reflects piety for the deceased, provides dignity in the location of their resting and ensures respect of the emotions of people who were close to the deceased. The look of graveyards depends on one of the key factors and that is the way how is their maintenance regulated. The author, therefore, in her paper makes an analysis of regulations around the most important matters in relation to the maintenance of graveyards in Serbia, with the aim to identify their good and bad sides and to formulate proposals on how to remove identified shortcomings. To this end, the paper deals with: - delineation of management, use and maintenance of graveyards; - identification of actions which need to be part of graveyards maintenance; - identification of the object, legal nature and subjects of maintenance of a graveyard, graves and gravestones.
Generic Submersions in Contact Geometry
Authors: SAYAR Cem
Published: December 2023

In the present paper, we introduce a new type of Riemannian submersion in the contact framework such that the fibers of such submersion are generic submanifolds, as given in [10]. This type of submersion is a generalization of many kinds of submersion introduced before in the literature. Once the Reeb vector field \xi is tangent to the fibers, its position is given such that it should lie in the anti-invariant distribution D^0, which is given in the definition of the generic submersion. Moreover, we give an example and some results for such submersions.
Energy-Efficient Lighting Design: An Investigation of Optimal Daylight Use in Different Window Sizes
Authors: DURAK Aylin , ÇİFCİ Ahmet
Published: December 2023

In recent years, with the frequently discussed concept of sustainability, designers have been increasingly demanded to improve spatial comfort conditions. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency in design has led designers to consider these issues at earlier stages of the design process. Daylight, seen as a clean, uninterrupted energy source and a cost-effective alternative to artificial lighting, also ensures visual comfort for individuals due to its good color rendering. Despite all these well-known benefits, design criteria have not been established to reduce the energy consumption rate caused by artificial lighting while taking into account the factors affecting daylight, an important input. This study presents an investigation aimed at achieving energy savings in lighting by using the ideal window concept and other parameters to optimally benefit from daylight. The study has been applied under cloudy sky and deep room conditions, which represent the worst-case scenarios. As an alternative to time-consuming mathematical calculations, the Velux Daylight Visualizer lighting simulation program was used to create three-dimensional designs for horizontal, vertical, square, and roof windows separately, and the effects of these windows on the daylight factor were analyzed. The impact of different furniture colors in the interior space was also examined. Following the investigations, it was observed that roof windows produced more daylight compared to others. However, since roof windows cannot be used in multi-story buildings, a comparison was made between horizontal, vertical, and square windows, and it was concluded that horizontal windows placed close to the upper wall were more efficient than the others. In addition, it was observed that lighter-colored furniture, among the light and dark furniture, produced more daylight compared to the other.

Authors: İLÇİN Mustafa
Published: December 2023

In this study, species belonging to the genus: Platycleis which have shown large population increases in agricultural lands and especially in cereal products in recent years, have been identified and species identifications have been made. Species identified are Platycleis affinis, Fieber, 1853, Platycleis intermedia Serville, 1838 and, Platycleis escalerai escalerai Bolivar, 1899. These species reach a density of 30-50 per m2 in the lands where they are found, and it has been determined that they damage plant products. Although the numbers reached by the species could not reach a herd-like reproduction, it was determined that they caused damage after a certain density. However, it has been observed that they cause economic loss in products. It has been determined that these species increase the damage size by intensifying in certain periods on the crops they damage, wild wheat, wheat, barley, and corn plants. In-plant protection against these pests, preventive measures within the framework of integrated pest management principles, cultural control practices, and the use of biological control agents at the focal point show significant results that appears to have been taken.

Published: December 2023

The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between clinical course and serum IL-6 level in neonatal calves with diarrhea. The study material consisted of 40 calves in the neonatal period. The calves were divided into 4 groups: group I (healthy, control, n=10), group II (with mild diarrhea, n=10), group III (with moderate diarrhea, n=10) and group IV (with severe diarrhea, n=10). The breed, age, sex and clinical findings of the calves were recorded. Etiological analysis was performed on stool samples taken from calves. Haematological analyzes were performed on the blood samples taken and serum IL-6 levels were determined using the ELISA test kit. WBC and NEU numbers of calves with diarrhea in group II, group III and group IV were found to be numerically higher than healthy calves in group I (P˃0.05). Calves in group II (239.76±11.05), group III (293±48.7) and group IV (300±25.06) had higher serum IL-6 levels than calves in group I (211.58±10.07) (P˂ 0.01). While IL-6 levels of group IV were higher than group III (P˃0.05), IL-6 levels of group III and IV were higher than group II (P˂0.01). According to the data obtained from this study, it was concluded that serum IL-6 is an important marker that can be used in the follow-up of the disease in diarrheic neonatal calves.
Numerical Analysis of Different Slit-Check Dams
Authors: İKİNCİOĞULLARI Erdinç , EMİROĞLU M. Emin
Published: December 2023

Check dam designs have attracted attention recently due to the clogging of classical check dam structures with sediment and wooden material carried during the flood quickly. These structures regulate flow characteristics and debris flow. However, until now, the impacts of these structures on flow characteristics have received little attention in the literature. Therefore, it is necessary to develop new models to increase these structures' trapping capacity or extend the clogging time. In this study, the flow characteristics of check dams with horizontal, vertical, and angled openings were numerically analyzed for two-phase (water and air) flow. The numerical model was validated using experimental results in the literature. For the study in which twelve analyses were performed, four different check dam models (i.e., check dam with the classical, the narrow horizontal opening, the vertical openings, and angled openings) and three different unit flows (0.04, 0.03, and 0.02 m3 s-1 m-1) were used in the analysis. The open-source software OpenFOAM and the k-ω SST turbulence model were used for the numerical analysis using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method. The highest energy dissipation rate among slit check dam models was seen in Model-3 at maximum unit flow, whereas it was attained in Model-2 at minimum unit flow. There is no difference in the energy dissipation rate at low unit flows whether the openings are positioned vertically or angled; nevertheless, the vertical model (Model-3) is observed to be more efficient at maximum unit flow.

Published: December 2023

This article discusses effective personnel management in rehabilitation centers in Kazakhstan. In modern business, with its inherent volatile competitive environment, the implementation of effective activities is impossible without effective personnel management. As a result of sociological research, the degree of satisfaction with the incentive system for medical personnel of the Rehabilitation Center Kokshe was revealed. From these data it can be seen that for the employees of the rehabilitation center, the most significant motivational factors are economic methods, and among the preferred motivational methods are socio-psychological ones. To substantiate the importance of applying socio-psychological methods in the system of medical personnel management and the formation of a personnel management model, methodological approaches of classical theories of motivation were considered: a questionnaire according to A. Maslow's theory and F. Herzberg 's tests. The effectiveness of the organization's activities is determined by the ratio of the results achieved and the resources expended on this and is made up of the efficiency of using various factors, one of which is motivated work. The success of healthcare institutions, including rehabilitation centers, depends on the extent to which medical workers realize their professional potential. We have proposed a more advanced and effective management approach – the KPI method for motivating medical personnel in Kazakhstan, which allows us to organically combine material and non-material incentives with the motivational impact of all healthcare workers. The presented calculations showed that the introduction of personnel assessment according to the KPI system for all medical services will provide a multiplier effect and improve the competitiveness of rehabilitation centers and healthcare in general.

Published: December 2023

To strengthen its international position, Kazakhstan is updating the transition to economic decarbonization within the framework of the adopted long-term low-carbon development strategy. This article examines the current problems of decarbonization of the mining and metallurgical industry, which is one of the largest atmospheric pollutants. General scientific methods were used, including the descriptive method, methods of retrospective and cause-and-effect analysis, generalization and structuring of initial statistical data presented in the open press. It has been established that in the current situation of economic and political challenges, the growth of investments in renewable energy sources is focused not so much on achieving environmental indicators, but rather reflects the desireof countries importing energy raw materials to increase their energy security. It is substantiated that the development of ESG principles is becoming a primary factor ensuring the competitiveness of enterprises and the priority of internal production goals of sustainable development. The study analyzes the prospects for using the best available techniques in the low-carbon development strategy of industrial enterprises. The authors conclude that achieving carbon neutrality will require the state to adopt a systematic approach to coal mining as the main source of energy generation. It is shown that institutional measures that stimulate the decarbonization of the mining and metallurgical sector of Kazakhstan in the medium and long term will increase energy efficiency and accelerate the transition of industrial enterprises to renewable energy. The example of Kazakhstan can be useful for countries expanding the presence of mining and metallurgical enterprises in the international market by mastering various decarbonization mechanisms, disclosing information on sustainable development and taking into account ESG risks.

Sedanter yaşam tarzındaki artış daha fazla kadının hamileliğe aşırı kilolu veya obez olarak girmesine yol açmakta ve birçoğu hamilelik sırasında da aşırı kilo almaktadır. 2011-2014 yılları arasında yapılan bir araştırmada doğurganlık çağındaki (20-39 yaş arası) ABD’li kadınların %34,4’ünün fazla kilolu veya obez olduğu görülmüştür. 2016 yılında doğum yapan 18 - 24 yaşları arasındaki kadınların %21’i, 25 -34 yaşları arasındaki kadınların %23’ü ve 35 - 44 yaşları arasındaki kadınların %24’ünün obez olduğu bildirilmiştir. Gebelikte aşırı kilo alımı kronik hastalık yükünü artırırken anne ve bebek sağlığını riske atmaktadır. Bu potansiyel risklerden bazıları; gestasyonel hipertansiyon, preeklampsi, gestasyonel diyabet ve erken doğumdur. 2009 IOM yönergelerine göre; düşük kilolu kadınlar için önerilen gestasyonel ağırlık kazanımı (BMI 30,0 kg/m2) 5-9 kg’dır. Literatürde gebelikte aşırı kilo alımını önlemek için yalnızca beslenme, yalnızca egzersiz veya beslenme ile eş zamanlı egzersiz müdahalesi çalışmaları olduğu görülmektedir. Gebelerde yalnızca beslenme müdahalesi çalışmaları istatistiksel olarak anlamlı derecede düşük gestasyonel ağırlık kazanımı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Kılavuzlardaki gestasyonel ağırlık kazanımı oranlarına ulaşmaya yardımcı olma olasılığı en yüksek yöntemin beslenme olduğu bildirilmiştir (p = 0,013). Sadece egzersiz (p = 0,069) ve beslenme ve egzersiz (p = 0,056) müdahaleleri gestasyonel ağırlık kazanımını kontrol etme potansiyeline sahiptir ancak birçok çalışmada sonuçlar istatistiksel anlamlılığa ulaşamamıştır. Çalışmalardaki farklı beslenme stratejilerine rağmen müdahaleler evrensel olarak; meyve ve sebze tüketiminin artırılmasını, yüksek yağ ve şeker tüketiminin azaltılmasını önermektedir.

Authors: DİLBAZ Kübra , ÖZTÜRK ÖZEN Elif Ece , KARADENİZ Sinan
Published: December 2023

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a significant difference in positive uronalysis (Total UA) results and fertility in urine cultures during pregnancy.

Material and Methods: Our retrospective observational study included 177 patients who were admitted to our hospital between September 1, 2023 and November 1, 2023 and had a complete urinalysis performed. As a result of the total UA, patients with leukocytes/bacteria> 5, leukocyte esterase positive and nitrite positive were identified. Among the patients whose urine culture was detected according to the results of urinalysis, those whose urine culture was evaluated and those who were not were divided into two groups. The results of total UA and urine culture were compared. In addition, the weeks of gestation of patients with positive urinalysis results were recorded and it was investigated whether there was a correlation between the frequency of urinary tract infections (UTI) and pregnancy.

Results: A total of 177 patients who were followed up for pregnancy were included in the study. All patients had total UA results. When the total UA abnormalities were examined, it was found that the rate of those with a high leukocyte/bacteria ratio was 80.2%, the rate of those with positive leukocyte esterase was 61%, and the rate of those who were nitrite positive was 25.4%. According to the urine culture results, 54.8% of participants had no urine culture and 45.2% of participants had one. The rate of urine cultures was 77.5% without reproduction and 22.5% with reproduction. In addition, the mean gestational weeks of the patients was 25.96±11.57 weeks, the mean week of gestation according to ultrasound measurements was 26.02±11.64. and no significant association was found between weeks of gestation and the incidence of UTI.

Conclusion: In our study, no significant association was found between positive total UA results during pregnancy and urine culture reproduction. There is a need for comprehensive multicenter studies with a larger number of patients regarding the incidence of UTIs in relation to gestational age and other tests that can be used in the diagnosis of UTIs.

Acrylamide is a water-soluble vinyl monomer produced industrially as an agent for the production of plastics and cosmetics, in waste water management as a flocculation agent, and naturally in fried, baked, and roasted foods, especially when heated beyond 120 °C. Acrylamide (AC) is associated with severe neurotoxic complications through the initiation of oxidative stress. Hence the use of Carica papaya (CP), a natural antioxidant, in protecting the cerebellum of Wistar rats against acrylamide-induced oxidative stress. Forty adult female Wistar rats (180-200 g) were divided into four groups (n=10): Control (1 mL distilled water), AC (25 mg/kg), CP (300 mg/kg), and CP+AC (300 mg/kg+25 mg/kg). All treatments were administered orally for 21 days. Thereafter, the rats were weighed, and neurobehavioural tests were done. The rats were sacrificed, while their cerebella were dissected out and preserved for oxidative stress, antioxidant markers, and histological and immunohistochemical studies. Data were analysed using analysis of variance at p<0.05. There was decreased body weight, locomotor activities, and forelimb grip strength in the AC-treated group compared with the control and other treated groups. Increased lipid peroxidation and nitric oxide levels, decreased glutathione (GSH) levels, and catalase, superoxide dismutase, and glutathione peroxidase activities in the AC-treated groups compared with the control and other treated groups. Histologically, degeneration, pyknosis, shrinking and loss of Purkinje neurons, reactive astrogliosis, and apoptosis occurred in the AC-treated group compared with the control and other treated groups. In conclusion, acrylamide induced oxidative stress in the rat cerebellum, and administration of CP fruit extract offered protection from its neurotoxic effects.

The implementation of the agile approach needs to be evaluated as well as the level of project success of the agile team so that it is hoped that they can work more optimally. This research aims to find out and understand the implementation of the agile approach and the level of project success in the work teams that are formed. The variables that are the initial guide in conducting research are divided into the variables contained in the agile practice guide, namely the project life cycle, creating an agile environment, delivering products in an agile environment, organizational considerations. Apart from that, the research also explored the variables contained in the dimensions of project success. This research was carried out using a qualitative approach, collecting related documents and in-depth interviews conducted on the agile team which was the object of research. Next, to test the validity of the data, a member check process was carried out using data obtained from interviewees, namely leaders and agile team members. After processing and analyzing the data, it was discovered that the team did not fully implement the agile approach, including in relation to project approach objectives, project charter and team charter, location of work team members, and dependence on parties outside the team as well as in terms of the level of project success, including project effectiveness not being achieved, business and direct success in terms of cost savings has not been achieved, and new technology, products and market shares have not been created. The gaps that occur between theory and what is implemented in the field are expected to become input for further improvements.

Food spoilage is a major issue in our economy today, especially due to global climate change. Recent climate trends have led to an increased deterioration of freshly cut fruits and vegetables and has resulted in series of food poisoning as well as other health risk. Aside this, food spoilage and deterioration has affected negatively on national economy as from farm to store, supply chains are struggling with a food waste issue. This research aimed at using bioproducts in reducing the spoilage rate of fresh-cut tomatoes using lemongrass oil, ginger oil and garlic oil under 28OC and 4OC ambient temperatures. The bio-products (ginger oil, garlic oil and lemon grass oil) were extracted using domestic methods with coconut oil as the base oil. The bio-products were applied on the freshly cut tomatoes once daily. Visual observations on some anatomical features of tomatoes such as cuticle, placenta and pericarp were used to study rate and spoilage duration of tomatoes, while weight of the tomatoes at intervals and microbiological parameters were used in analyzing the effectiveness of the bio- products in reducing tomatoes spoilage rate. After 96 hours of study, the results showed significant (p<0.05) reduction in tomatoes spoilage rate in ginger oil assisted tomatoes compared to other bio-products and the control. Signs of pericarp wrinkle, cuticle deterioration and placenta damage were observed in the control from 24 hours. Similarly, significant reduction in tomatoes weight were observed in the control tomatoes which indicated spoilage. High fungal and bacterial count was also observed in the control tomatoes and the microbes observed showed some similarities with previously identified microbes that are associated with fruit spoilage and food poisoning. This research showed that ginger oil, garlic oil and lemon grass oil could be effective in reducing spoilage in freshly cut tomatoes, however future studies should be conducted to investigate the affectivity of other bio- products in reducing fruit spoilage.
Ateistlerin Siyer’in Mekke Dönemine Bakışı Üzerine Bazı Değerlendirmeler

Tanrı inancını kabul etmeyen ateizm, bu inancın yer aldığı tüm dinleri eleştirmektedir. Özellikle modern dönem ateizmi birçok eleştirisini bilimsellik adına yapmaya çalışmakta, fikirlerini bu yöntemle yaygınlaştırmaya gayret etmektedir. Ülkemizde de aynı yöntem takip edilmektedir. Birçok internet sitesi, sosyal medya hesapları, makale, dergi ve kitap gibi yayınlarla ateizm yaygınlaştırılmaya çalışılmaktadır. Ateistlerin ülkemizde yaptığı faaliyetlerde yoğunlaştığı ve çeşitli eleştiriler yaptığı din, doğal olarak İslâm’dır. Ateistler, ateizmin Türkiye toplumunda belli bir ciddi karşılığının bulunmaması sebebiyle toplumun büyük çoğunluğunun inandığı İslâm’a karşı iddialarını dile getirirken bilimi kullanmaya ve fikir özgürlüğünü öne çıkarmaya çalışmaktadır. Ateizmin ülkemizdeki dinle alakalı eleştirileri İslâm, Hz. Muhammed ve Kur’ân-ı Kerîm merkezinde toplanmaktadır. Özellikle Hz. Muhammed’in hiç yaşamadığı, dolayısıyla onun tebliğ ettiği bir İslâm ve Kur’ân’dan bahsedilemeyeceği, büyük bir imparatorluk haline gelen Emevîler’in devletin devamlılığını sağlamak amacıyla bugünkü anlamda İslâm ve Kur’ân’ı icat ettikleri iddia edilmektedir. Ateistler bu ve benzeri iddialarını Hz. Peygamber’in hayatının bazı kesitleriyle irtibatlandırıp dile getirmektedir. Dolayısıyla ortaya siyere dair çok sayıda iddia çıkmakta ve bunların incelenmesi gerekmektedir. Bugüne kadar Hz. Peygamber’in hayatına dair öne sürülen bu iddialar hakkında siyer alanında yapılan Türkçe bir çalışma tespit edilememiştir. Bu çalışmada alandaki zikredilen boşluğu doldurmak amacıyla, ilk olarak ateistlerin Mekke dönemi ile alakalı bazı iddiaları belirlenmiş; bu iddialar konularına göre sınıflandırılarak siyer açısından değerlendirilmiştir. İnanç ve fikir özgür-lüğüne önem veren ve bunları sıkça dile getiren ateistlerin, İslâm ve Müslü-manlar hakkındaki fikirlerini düşünceden eyleme, yazıya vb. faaliyete dönüştürünce; söz konusu hassasiyetlerinin ortadan kalktığı gözlemlenmiştir. İncelenen döneme has olmak üzere ateistlerin Hz. Peygamber ve İslâm’ı tümden reddetmeyi amaçladığı ve yazılarını da buna göre şekillendirdiği, çoğu zaman iddialarda bulundukları konular hakkında önemli detaylara yer vermediği belirlenmiştir. Bunun yanında ilmî anlamda literatür ve bilgi eksikliği göze çarpmakta; birçok konunun ana mecrasından çarpıtıldığı görülmektedir.

Published: December 2023

Este artículo tiene como objetivo describir cómo construyen la identidad profesional los directores escolares y sus implicaciones en el desarrollo del liderazgo y la gestión emocional. La literatura actual señala que la construcción de la identidad profesional tiene un gran impacto en el desarrollo organizativo, el clima y la cultura de los centros. La construcción de esta identidad, fuertemente ligada al liderazgo, se conforma como un proceso gradual donde interviene la comunidad educativa en su conjunto. La información se ha recabado en dos centros educativos, indagando cómo su funcionamiento y clima se ven influenciados por la identidad profesional de los directores, así como por sus habilidades emocionales y la formación recibida. La metodología, de corte cualitativo, ha empleado entrevistas abiertas realizadas en distintos momentos y a distintos informantes de cada comunidad educativa en dos centros escolares liderados por directoras consideradas eficaces. Entre los principales resultados destacan la importancia de la motivación en el acceso al cargo, la preocupación por el logro de resultados favorables, la resiliencia para la gestión del estrés, la eficiencia profesional, la resolución rápida de problemas, la actitud positiva y la iniciativa para la gestión de Proyectos. Como conclusión, se aborda la necesidad de una formación en los procesos de dirección y gestión en las escuelas eficaces y la importancia de la capacidad de resiliencia como medio para promover la construcción de una identidad profesional que contribuya a mejorar el funcionamiento de los centros escolares en situaciones difíciles.

Authors: ÇELİK Halil İbrahim
Published: December 2023

Osmanlı Devleti döneminde şehir tarihi araştırmaları için şer‘iyye sicilleri önemli bir kaynaktır. Şehirlerde yargı, yönetim ve toplum işleriyle ilgilenen kadıların resmî işlemlerinin kayıtları olan şer‘iyye sicilleri, şehirlerin siyasi, idari, sosyal, ekonomik ve kültürel yaşamına dair bilgiler sunarlar. Osmanlı Devleti’nde yargıçlık da yapan kadılar, Cumhuriyetin ilk yıllarında devam eden inkılaplar sırasında özellikle miras davalarına bakmışlar ve bu davaların kararları şer‘iyye sicillerine yazılmıştır. Nevşehir 18 Numaralı Şer‘iyye Sicili’ne 1920-1927 tarih aralığındaki miras paylaşımı konuları kayıt edilmiştir. Bu dönemde Nevşehir’de Müslüman Türklerle birlikte Rumların da yaşadığı, Rum vatandaşların miras işlemlerinin de şer‘iyye sicillerinde yer aldığı görülmektedir. 1920-1927 döneminde Nevşehir’deki kişi ve yer adları, günlük yaşamda kullanılan eşyalar, mirasa konu olan tereke toplumun sosyal hayatı konusunda bilgi sahibi olunmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu kayıtlar Nevşehir’in idari, sosyal yapısı hakkında kıymetli bilgiler ihtiva etmektedir. Çalışmada 75 varak ve 150 sayfadan oluşan sicil kayıtları günümüz alfabesine aktarılmış ve tahlil edilmiştir. Şer‘iyye sicili kayıtlarından Nevşehir’in Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ilk yıllarındaki sosyal yaşamı ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu bilgilerin günümüz toplum yapısının tanınmasına ve sosyal gelişmelerin kökenlerinin anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.
Framing the Study of Digital Religion: Waves of Academic Research, Theoretical Approaches and Themes
Authors: ERGEN Yunus
Published: December 2023

The phenomenon of “digital religion” has emerged as a research field over the past quarter century as religious experiences integrate into the digital sphere. Within this field, researchers have adopted various theoretical frameworks and empirical methodologies to illuminate the complex dynamics that arise from the interaction between digital culture and religion. However, the existing literature on this topic is characterized by fragmentation, which makes a comprehensive understanding of its trajectory difficult. This fragmentation is particularly noticeable in the absence of a coherent narrative that outlines the field’s development. This study aims to provide a scholarly framework for understanding the trajectory of Digital Religion Studies (DRSs), encompassing successive waves of academic research, theoretical paradigms, and thematic foci. This study provides a qualitative assessment of existing literature on the relationship between digital culture and religion through a comprehensive review. A thorough literature review reveals that research in the field of digital religion can be classified into four distinct phases: descriptive, categorical, theoretical, and integrative. The prominent theoretical frameworks that have emerged media ecology, mediation, mediatization, religious-social shaping of technology (RSST), and hypermediation. Finally, the thematic categorization of research primarily revolves around topics, such as rituals, authenticity, identity, community, authority, and embodiment.
Transnational In-Group Solidarity Networks in the Case of #Hellobrother
Authors: POOLE Elizabeth , RİCHARDSON John E. , GİRAUD Eva Haifa , DE QUİNCEY Ed
Published: December 2023

This paper examines the dynamics of one hashtag, #hellobrother, shared on Twitter following the Christchurch terror attack on 15th March 2019. It was analysed as part of a larger study #Contesting Islamophobia: Representation and Appropriation in Mediated Activism which explores the potentials and limitations of counternarratives against Islamophobia on Twitter. Using three ‘trigger events’ (Awan, 2014), Brexit, the Christchurch terror attack, and the Covid pandemic as its starting point, the study analysed six weeks of tweets at different points in time. The data on #hellobrother demonstrates an affective response which, through the affordances of Twitter, gave rise to strong networks of transnational solidarity. It illustrates both the limitations of its potentially transient solidarities but also the capacity of social media to offer visibility to counternarratives, which at specific moments, following specific events can become normative.
