Soybean meal (SBM), one of the main protein sources in turkey production is becoming expensive. Shrimp waste meal (SWM), a by-product of the shrimp industry is a good prospect as a cheaper alternative. It was hypothesised that Nigerian indigenous turkeys (NIT) should be able to digest and utilise SWM better than British United Turkeys (BUT) because of their hardy nature. A 56-day study was carried out to determine metabolisable energy and apparent nutrient digestibility of growing turkeys fed diets containing SWM. Four diets were formulated such that SBM in the control diet (diet 1) was substituted by SWM at 150, 300 and 450 g/kg (protein for protein) in diets 2, 3, and 4, respectively. Eighty (80) four-weeks-old male sex BUT and 80 NIT were allotted on weight equalisation into four dietary treatments replicated four times with five turkeys per replicate in a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement. The total faecal collection method was used for determining apparent and true nutrient digestibility and metabolisable energy values. The experiment was arranged in a completely randomised design and data collected were analysed using ANOVA with SAS package. At the starter phase, NIT recorded (p < 0.05) higher values for dry matter (DM), Ether extract (EE), nitrogen-free extract (NFE), Apparent metabolisable energy corrected for nitrogen (AMEn) but lower true metabolisable energy corrected for nitrogen (TMEn). Turkeys fed SWM recorded higher (p < 0.05) AMEn. At the grower phase, turkeys fed 300 g/kg SWM recorded higher (p < 0.05) values for CF and ash. Ash and CP digestibility values were higher (p < 0.05) in BUT ditto for TMEn. It was concluded that NIT could handle SWM better than BUT, however, only at the starter phase at 300 g/kg substitution for SBM.

Published: August 2023

Many natural disasters occur in today's world, resulting in the loss of human life. The application of sensor technology would not stop natural disasters from happening, but it will help those who are affected. It will take time and effort to find the humans who are still alive beneath the rubbles. Ordinary bots that are assigned to rescue missions involving the discovery of living humans trapped beneath massive piles of debris are ordinarily subject to repeated harm arising from continuous contact with the damaged structures. As a result, a significant demand for sensors exists. Sensors are becoming more important as a means of gathering sensory data from the affected area. It is possible to locate humans who are still alive, as well as ascertain the condition of victims who require immediate medical attention in order to survive, using this information. The primary goal of this study is to provide an overview of current sensor-based rescue robot research. Several papers were reviewed in the areas of design, interfacing, controlling, simulation, and applications. Furthermore, this review discusses the use of sensors in the detection of humans as well as the potential for future developments.
Lärchweiden im Toten Gebirge, Dachsteingebiet und der Osterhorngruppe: Struktur und Dynamiken ihrer Vegetation im Gefolge von Rücknahme und Aufgabe der Nutzung
Authors: Kurz Peter
Published: August 2023

Larch pastures are use-stabilized features of alpine cultural landscapes, which are characterized by a two-layer structure made of a loose screen of European larch (Larix decidua) with pastures underneath. As a product of rural alpine farming, larch pastures are widespread in the traditional use systems on both siliceous and carbonate subsoils in the high montane-subalpine altitudinal zone of the Alps (cf. Mayer 1974; 31f.). The combination of geology and cultivation shows a remarkable floristic diversity, especially in the case of formations over carbonate substrates. Rationalizations within alpine farming since the decades after the Second World War - and again accelerating within the past 20 years - promote dynamic changes within the vegetation composition of many larch pastures. The paper reconstructs the vegetation dynamics on larch pastures on carbonate under the influence of decline in use and abandonment using examples in Totes Gebirge, Dachstein massif and Osterhorn group. Via the tabular comparison of phytosociological vegetation recordings from eleven alpine pastures that are currently managed at various levels of intensity or were abandoned at different times, the directions and stages of dynamics are traced and the development of the number of species is examined.
Basidiobolomycosis: a case of a rare fungal infection misdiagnosed as adenocarcinoma of the colon
Authors: Tantawi Eyad , Alradadi Abdulrahman , Alradadi Rahaf
Published: August 2023

Background: Basidiobolomycosis is a rare infection caused by the fungus Basidiobolus ranarum. Since 1887, B. ranarum has been identified as an unusual fungus. It is a saprophytic fungus found in soil, decaying fruits and vegetables, and the digestive tracts of amphibians, fish, reptiles, and insectivorous bats. Since its discovery in 1964, this unusual and rare fungal infection has only been reported 71 times in the literature, and few cases were reported in Saudi Arabia.
Case Presentation: A 62-year-old female Burmese with a 2-month history of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and chronic abdominal pain, accompanied by weight loss, loss of appetite, and lower limb myopathy was pre sented. This myopathy was so severe that it rendered her bedridden, thereby diminishing her quality of life. No hemoptysis or bleeding per rectum was seen. Past surgical and medical history were unremarkable. No med ications or allergies were reported. Regarding her social history, she was married and a housewife with low socioeconomic status, and a significant language barrier. The patient was successfully diagnosed and properly treated.
Conclusion: Basidiobolomycosis is an emerging fungal pathogen. It usually causes subcutaneous infection, transmitted via traumatic inoculation. Gastrointestinal basidiobolomycosis is rare; it is associated with mass or inflammatory lesions in the gastrointestinal tract.

Published: August 2023

The Election of 1992 was an important result of the Kurdish movement, despite the confrontations and difficult circumstances that Kurdistan has gone through, the Kurdistan front was able to take desiccion about elections in order to establish a parliament and the Kurdistan Regional Government. The elections were the first democratic examination to add legitimacy to the Kurdish government to replace the Kurdish front. In fact, the process of election which had been done was not an easy decision because the Iraqi govemnemet imposed the siege on Kurdistan and on the other hand, regional pressures to prevent the existence of any other Kurdish region.

      Also, most of the political parties affiliated with the Kurdistan Front were not with the conduct of the elections, ultimately the elections were done. This research deals with the way of how the law of the elections was taken by the Kurdistan Front, then the conduct and completion of the elections, legal violations, and the lack of credibility of political parties when conducting the elections, finally, the results were decided in favor of Party and Yekiti, and the seats were divided equally between them.  The results of the elections had a negative impact on the parties that did not excel, so they made preparations and thought about forming serious alliances between the parties  (Kurdistan Democratic Popular party, Kurdistan Socialist party and Kurd Socialist Party) to form the Kurdistan Union Party in 1992, but it did not last long, The year after party was dissolved, and on August 16th 1993, in the eleventh conference, the party joined with the kurdistan Democratic Party.

La Casa de la Belleza: una lectura en clave de infancia
Authors: Pertuz Carol , Herrera Martha Cecilia
Published: August 2023

La infancia ha sido leitmotiv en la literatura. A través de la mirada infantil, las obras literarias nos devuelven espejos en los cuales nos confrontamos con el misterio de la existencia; los reflejos nos retan frente a la posibilidad de rehacer nuestras vidas, de volver a tejer lo que en el pasado fue doloroso o se produjo como potencialidad. El artículo ausculta los diferentes acercamientos a la infancia en la novela La Casa de la Belleza de Melba Escobar de Nogales. En primer lugar, encontramos el retorno a la infancia como explicación del personaje adulto. Un segundo acercamiento rastrea la aparición de los niños en el presente de la trama principal y los imaginarios que la sostienen. Una tercera aproximación vislumbra la infancia como modo de nombrar la otredad. Una cuarta alusión plantea un paralelo entre la condición de infantilidad, el ser mujer y sus implicaciones en la sexualidad.

Investing capital in new territories of the Russian Federation: some practical problems and solutions
Authors: Belikova Ksenia Michailovna
Published: August 2023

The subject of the research in this article is the legal regulation of entrepreneurial activity in the form of capital investment in new territories of the Russian Federation – Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions in the context of a number of practical problems and solutions. The legal analysis of the Draft Law on the creation of a free economic zone (FEZ) in the new regions of Russia and the search for an answer to the question of who, under the sanctions of Western states and their unions, will act as investors in these territories, taking advantage of the serious benefits given. The research is conducted with such methods of scientific cognition as: general scientific dialectics, historical, of comparative legal analysis. The author proceeds from the subjective-objective determination of processes and phenomena. It is concluded that Russia, in the context of creating FEZ in new territories, needs to rely primarily on its own resources (on internal loans, people's enterprises, etc. based on the experience of the USSR and foreign states). On the other hand, it is necessary to develop BRICS and internal cooperation within BRICS in order to rid these countries of fear to invest in the Russian Federation, relying on the justification by diplomatic and military forces of the Russian understanding of the international legal aspect of the implementation of the right of peoples to self-determination and the principle of territorial integrity of the state. At the same time, it is concluded that excessive concentration of Russian assets in the hands of foreign investors should be avoided in the future.
Aeroacoustic Liner Impedance Metamodel from Simulation and Experimental Data Using Probabilistic Learning
Authors: Sinha Amritesh , Soize Christian , Desceliers Christophe , Cunha Guilherme
Published: August 2023

To be able to calculate a parameterized aeroacoustic liner impedance, a robust statistical metamodel is constructed as a function of the frequency and of the control parameters that are the percentage of open area and the sound pressure level. This construction is based on the use of simulated data generated with a computationally expensive aeroacoustic model, which translates to a very small training dataset. This means that the learning process has to be used and the probabilistic learning on manifolds algorithm is chosen. Although the aeroacoustic simulation is conducted on a large aeroacoustic computational model, some approximations are introduced, generating model errors that are taken into account by a probability model in the constructed training dataset. This probability model is calibrated using dimensionless experiments available from the open literature. Despite the fact that only a small amount of data is available, a novel statistical metamodel is successfully developed for which the predictions are consistent. This statistical framework allows for exhibiting a confidence region of the parameterized aeroacoustic liner impedance, which gives an information about the level of uncertainties as a function of the frequency and the control parameters.
Advances in Wall Interference Corrections for Two-Dimensional Lifting Bodies
Authors: Noel Simon , Birch David M. , Doherty John J. , Tipnis Tanmay
Published: August 2023

A novel approach to correcting the effects of wall interference has been developed for low-speed closed-wall wind tunnels using a nonlinear least-squares optimization process independent of the model geometry. Potential flow singularities are used to represent the test object, and the method of images is used to represent the tunnel walls. Trust-region reflective optimization enables the locations and strengths of singularities to be determined iteratively with only wall pressure measurements as independent inputs. Results are obtained from a range of two-dimensional and three-dimensional airfoil test cases using both computational fluid dynamics simulations and wind tunnel experiments, including a NACA 0012 with deployed spoiler, a NACA 0015, a NACA 4415, and a McDonnell Douglas 30P30N high-lift configuration. The nonlinear least-squares wall-correction method is shown to demonstrate a considerable improvement over the conventional two-variable technique.
First-Ply Failure Analysis of Helicoidal/Bouligand Bio-Inspired Laminated Composite Plates
Authors: Sharma Anshu , Tonk Anu , Garg Aman , Li Li , Chalak H. D.
Published: August 2023

Among the first, the present paper focuses on studying the first-ply failure load for bio-inspired helicoidal laminated composite plates. Five different layup schemes, namely, helicoidal recursive, helicoidal semicircular, helicoidal exponential, Fibonacci helicoidal, and linear helicoidal, were studied. The performance of the five helicoidal layups was compared with the commonly used cross-ply and quasi-isotropic lamination schemes. Maximum stress, maximum strain, Tsai–Hill, Tsai-Wu, and Hoffman failure theories were employed in the framework of the recently proposed finite-element-based higher-order zigzag theory to determine the first-ply failure load. It was observed that the maximum strain theory predicted the lowest value of the first-ply failure load, whereas Tsai–Wu predicted the highest one. For some cases, Tsai–Hill and Tsai–Wu theories were not able to predict the first-ply failure load. For plates having free edges, the bio-inspired plates exhibited the first-ply failure load compared to the conventional layup sequences.
On the Nature of Transonic Shock Buffet in an Axial-Flow Fan
Authors: Ranjan Majhi Jyoti , Venkatraman Kartik
Published: August 2023

Transonic buffet or self-sustained shock oscillation in transonic flow is not well-understood in fans and compressors. The present work is a numerical study of transonic buffet flow using a full-annulus model of a transonic fan—the NASA rotor 67. Firstly, results obtained with steady simulations are validated with experimental and numerical data available, and shock structures from these simulations are found to exhibit distinct features as seen in experiments. Unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations are then carried out at two operating points—near design mass flow rate and toward stall—on the fan characteristic to capture transonic shock buffet. The unsteady simulations are able to capture necessary attributes of transonic buffet flow. Further, wave propagation in an unsteady flow solution featuring transonic buffet is investigated to understand the mechanism driving shock buffet in axial turbomachines. Upstream- and downstream-propagating pressure perturbation waves are observed on the blade suction surface within a buffet cycle, while only an upstream-propagating wave is seen on the blade pressure surface. The driving mechanism of transonic buffet in this turbomachine is elucidated through a feedback loop of the upstream- and downstream-propagating waves—qualitatively and quantitatively. Besides the streamwise pressure waves, circumferential pressure waves propagating at part speed of the rotor in the spinning direction and radially outward moving pressure waves of similar speeds on the blade suction and pressure surfaces are also detected as distinct features of buffet flow for this turbomachine.

“Will you ever win?”
Authors: Ryan Jamie
Published: August 2023

Slap Shot’s Lily Braden is the origin of what I term the “willful wife.” The “willful wife” is a unique character of the hockey film genre as she appears in nearly every popular post-Slap Shot hockey film but is incredibly rare in other sports films. I define the willful wife as the girlfriend/wife of an athlete, in literature or film, who is unhappy with her partner’s devotion to sport, and so demands that he be a more attentive boyfriend/husband and/or father; however, later in the story, the willful wife then either illogically drops her demand or forgets about her previous relationship problems and reconciles with the athlete-protagonist. This article argues that Slap Shot is often considered a comedy rather than a satirical comedy, and as a result, Lily’s satirical journey in the film has been misread, which has led to the sexist legacy of the willful wife in the hockey genre. The resulting popular hockey film genre reproduces Lily’s “willful wife” storyline without any of her story’s satire or politics and in doing so, the genre ignores Lily’s critique of (dominant) heteropatriarchal hockey culture that relies on devaluing and demeaning women.

Through their eyes
Authors: Fowler Teresa Anne
Published: August 2023

Hockey culture has been demonstrated to be a site of racism, homophobia, misogyny and other forms of domination which keep men’s ice hockey stuck with hypermasculine narratives as young hockey boys chase a place within this culture. This study, conducted with an Elite U18 male ice hockey team in Western Canada, used photovoice as a means to enquire into young male athlete experiences in schools and the tension between being celebrated as a hockey boy and the domination of hypermasculinity in their everyday lives. Photovoice was used to open up conversations with images participants took during their days at a specialized sport academy regarding their feelings of disengagement in school. The findings show the weight of the hypermasculine narratives on hockey boys including toughness, homophobia, and classism as well as the implications on their mental health and risk of violent acts from being in an isolated and exclusive white patriarchal community. Young male athletes, desiring to continue to play elite hockey, unknowingly find themselves within a masculine moral paradox by becoming both constrained by and consenting to the hypermasculine narratives, further ensconcing hypermasculinity within hockey culture. The article brings together Connell’s hegemonic masculinity, Eisner’s three curricula, and Bourdieu’s theory of cultural reproduction as a means to generate awareness of the ways in which the entrenchment of masculine (hegemony) domination is deeply engrained in the fields of education, hockey culture, and the home.
“It’s still Cleveland baseball”
Authors: Bingaman James , Leach John
Published: August 2023

In the summer of 2021, Cleveland’s Major League Baseball franchise announced the rebranding of the club’s nickname from the decades-long controversial “Indians” to the” Guardians.” The long-standing use of Native American imagery in sport has long been the source of contention, and for this reason, the Cleveland Guardians have continually been in the public eye prior to their rebrand. This article examines both the organization’s rebranding efforts and media coverage surrounding the team’s new identity. Guided by the theory of framing, this study applies themes of sports rebranding to analyze the team’s announcement video and sequentially deploys an inductive approach to identify the media frames present following the rebranding. Three sports rebrand frames were identified from the Cleveland Guardians’ announcement: regional pride, nostalgia, and rebirth. The media response looked at 79 articles and found two higher-order frames - broader movements and branding commentary – with six subcategories. In total, these frames indicated that rebranding efforts sought to center the new identity around the city of Cleveland while deemphasizing damages from the use of derogatory racial Native American imagery. The media response also shows that the rebrand is contextualized through broader movements and is politically contentious. Future directions of framing theory in sports rebranding and the discourse around the use and removal of racial imagery in sports is discussed.
Rage at the Rink

Published: August 2023

This article examines the problem of parental aggression in minor hockey in the Canadian province of Quebec. Findings of the study are based on 30 semi-structured, qualitative interviews with minor hockey stakeholders in Quebec, including parents, coaches, referees and league executives. Interviews were conducted in both French and English. All 30 study participants observed parental violence and harassment while watching, coaching, and/or refereeing minor hockey and shared their perspectives on why parental aggression occurs in Quebec minor hockey. Drawing on Spaaij’s (2014) social-ecological model, we introduce a social-ecological model specific to the Canadian minor hockey context, which includes structural, social environmental, situational, interpersonal and individual. Moving from the structural to the individual, these factors include 1) levels of racism, xenophobia, and identity-based antagonisms in society, 2) high parental expectations related to their children’s performance, team success, and development, the high cost of hockey, hockey’s cultural significance as Canada’s game, and the lack of leverage leagues and arenas to punish spectator misbehaviour, 3) the layout of arenas and the rules around alcohol at particular arenas, perceived ‘bad’ refereeing, illegal play, or unfair ice time allotments, higher levels of on-ice violence and injuries, and rivalries, 4) spectators trying to coach from the stands and/or yelling at referees and coaches, and 5) the behaviour and demeanour of spectators, coaches, referees, and even the players on the ice.
Coupling in Sport
Authors: Sarrazin Philip S. , Norcliffe Glen
Published: August 2023

China’s rise in recent years to become an economic superpower has been accompanied by active policies to promote sport and culture. Once chosen by the Olympic Committee in 2015 to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, China faced a problem since its hockey team was not strong and could potentially be humiliated in the climax events of the Games. The Chinese Ice Hockey Association (CIHA) decided on a strategic coupling with Canadian hockey expertise to create credible men’s and women’s hockey teams, including hiring Canadian coaches, taking teams to Canada for extended professional training, playing exhibition games against Canadian teams, inviting Canadian hockey teams and players to China, and recruiting Canadian hockey players with Chinese heritage to play professionally in China on the HC Kunlun Red Star team (men) and the KRS Vanke Rays (women). We label this relationship a global player production network. However, the strict Covid lockdown in China and the froideur that developed in Canada-China geopolitical relations after the detention in Vancouver of Meng Wanzhou and the arrest in China of Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, was followed by a decoupling of the Canada-China hockey relationship. But by granting national status to Canadian-born “heritage” players, and by selecting at the eleventh hour the Kunlun Red Star and Vanke Ray teams as their Olympic teams, China effectively re-coupled with Canada and was thereby able to field two credible hockey teams.

Because fight songs are still being written and other fight songs are being updated to account for societal changes, a study of the themes that are common among fight songs would be valuable to those responsible for writing these important works. Literature related to college fight song studies, music, and branding, as well as music in advertising provides context to the study. The researchers engaged in a two-step process that involved theme identification and coded theme count. In the theme identification stage, the researchers used a common sample of two fight songs per conference to identify themes that consistently appeared in the song lyrics. The researchers then coded the full population of 130 songs seeking the identified themes across all songs. The most common themes were self-reference to the name of the university (97.7%), exclamation (93.1%), and togetherness (90%). The thematic analysis confirms the unification and excitement purposes that fight songs are intended to generate and confirm the role fight songs play in intercollegiate athletics branding— selling the concepts of unification and excitement to college sport consumers. The remaining themes included game-specific references, nickname, school colors, victory, vocalization, war, and word-splits.

Legalized sports gambling is relevant for professional sport stakeholders in the United States (U.S.). With the repeal of the Professional and Amateur Sport Protection Act, U.S. professional sport teams are now partnering with sports betting entities. Through the framework of sport entrepreneurship (Ratten, 2020), this study explores sports betting partnerships in professional sport teams and organizations (PSTO). Findings of the 10 semi-structured interviews with current employees involved with PSTOs suggest that the partnerships are mutually beneficial and supported by employees driven by consumer interest. For PSTOs, lead generation for potential ticket memberships, influx of advertising dollars, and the expansion of premium seating locations were derived from these partnerships. For the sports betting platforms, increased visibility and association with local professional teams were the primary benefits. Moreover, this study provides further insight
Exploration of Landscape Led Property Development

Increased low-density urban sprawl and population growth created pressure on the housing system of New Zealand. Combined with an already lacking supply of housing, consequences of heightened affordability and dissipating design quality came from the inability of government planning. Developers were provided with the power, through amendments and ruling changes, to develop properties much easier to fill the gaps in the market. A shift away from the people and the environment created an absence of personal outdoor spaces. Recreating the focal point of the user and wider environment was one that a landscape architect can do, through a socio-ecological lens.

The goal of this research was the inclusion of the user and environment back into the property development through its outdoor spaces while responding to density requirements within Wellington, New Zealand. The city offered a background of scaling density which boasted plenty of character. It also featured the potential for higher quality development of its outdoor spaces. Drawn into Mount Victoria as a case study, the research developed through this suburb’s investigation. Incorporation of interviews with professionals, site scaled analysis, and surveying of existing medium density housing (MDH) residents pushed this process even further. These tools helped provide the human element to the outdoor spaces of MDH developments. Knowledge gained showed the overall mediocre feeling that MDH residents within the suburb felt.

The thesis proposed a set of guidelines that would work within the socio-ecological parameters that this research aimed to reconnect with. The study further focused around the economically viable, usable, and positive creation of outdoor spaces. Design results explored a street-wide re-design and imaginative application of these guidelines at a large scale. Use of the small scale helped to show the minute details that benefited not only the users, but the wider environment of these designed spaces.

Osmanlı’da telif ve tercüme faaliyetlerinin hız kazandığı II. Murad döneminde (1421-1451), hem sarayın talebi hem de halkın ihtiyaçları doğrultusunda ortaya konan eserler Türk kültürünün zenginleşmesine katkı sağlamıştır. Bu dönemin âlimleri arasında adı anılan Mahmud b. Kâdî Manyas, nâm-ı diger Manyasoğlu Mahmud da tercüme ve haşiye sahasında eserler kaleme almış münevver bir şahsiyet olarak dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada kaynaklarda adı zikredilmeyen, Sultan Veled’in Ma‘ârif adlı eserine Manyasoğlu Mahmud’un yaptığı tercüme konu edilmiştir. Saraybosna Gazi Hüsrev Bey Kütüphanesi’nde R-1430 yer numarasıyla kayıtlı ve H. 1051-M. 1641 yılında Dânişî Ahmed Efendi tarafından istinsâh edilen mecmû‘ada yer alan bu tercüme, Anadolu sahasında Sultan Veled’in Ma‘ârif ’ine yapılmış ilk tercüme özelliğini taşımaktadır. XV. yüzyılda gerçekleştirilen bu tercüme, elli altı fasıldan oluşan Ma‘ârif ’in on üç faslını içermektedir. Manzum ve mensur metinleri ihtiva eden Ma‘ârif tercümesi, kaleme alındığı yüzyıl dolayısıyla Eski Anadolu Türkçesi dil özelliklerini yansıtmaktadır. Çalışmamızda öncelikle Ma‘ârif müellifi Sultan Veled’in, mütercim Manyasoğlu Mahmud’un ve müstensih Dânişî Ahmed’in hayatları ve eserlerine dair bilgiler aktarılmış; Gazi Hüsrev Bey Kütüphanesi’nde R-1430 yer numarasıyla kayıtlı mecmû‘anın tavsîfi ve mecmû‘anın sonunda yer alan iki şerh metninin sahibi hususunda kısa bir tartışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sultan Veled’in Ma‘ârif ’ine ve Manyasoğlu’nun tercümesine dair öz bilgilerin aktarıldığı kısımdan sonra Manyasoğlu Mahmud’un Ma‘ârif tercümesinin çeviri yazılı metni sunulmuştur.

Bu makale, geleneğin tarihin herhangi bir zamanında adet haline getirilmiş davranışlar olduğu kanaatinin aksine, muayyen bir nassa dayalı, tarihin akışı içinde değişerek var olmaya devam eden canlı bir yapı olduğu düşüncesinden hareket etmektedir. Bu düşünceye göre gelenek; kendi mantalitesi, dinamikleri ve paradigmasıyla döneminin şartlarına uygun olarak sürekli ve yeniden inşa olmaktadır. Buna bağlı olarak bu çalışma, geleneğin modern dönem dışındaki tarihsel zaman kesitinde de kendini sürekli yenileyen canlı bir organizma olarak kabul edildiğini ve bunu “Klasik Türk Şiiri" ne yansıyan bazı teşbih örnekleri üzerinden göstermeyi hedeflemektedir.

Buradan hareketle çalışmamızda Bedri Rahmi’nin Âşık Veysel’i filmin senaryosunda nasıl ele aldığı nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi ile incelenmiştir.
İDRÎS-İ BİTLİSÎ’NİN ORUÇ VE BAYRAM MÜNÂZARASINA DAİR RİSÂLESİ
Authors: SALMANİ Milad
Published: August 2023

Münâzara, önemli bir edebî gelenektir. Türk edebiyatı araştırıcıları münâzaranın ebedî ‘tür’den ziyade edebî ‘tarz’ olduğu kanaatindedirler. Münâzaralar form veya içeriklerine göre çeşitli gruplarda sınıflandırılmaktadırlar. Münâzara geleneğinde genellikle iki canlı veya iki cansız, birinin diğerinden üstünlüğü konusunda tartışmaya başlar ve bu tartışmalar diyalog hâlinde gelişir. Önceki asırlardan Arapça, Farsça ve Türkçe çok sayıda münâzara risâlesi günümüze ulaşmıştır. Osmanlı sahasında yazılan ve bugüne kadar üzerine yeterli çalışma yapılmayan önemli münâzara risâlelerinden biri, İdrîs-i Bitlisî’nin Münâzaratü’s-savm ve’l-‘îd adlı eseridir. Bu risâle Farsça kaleme alınmıştır ve eser Münâzara-i Rûze vü Iyd olarak da bilinmektedir. Bitlisî, eserini 909/1503 yılında tamamlayarak II. Bâyezîd’e sunmuştur. Eser, form olarak mensur ve manzum karışıktır ve şimdiye kadar ikisi Türkiye biri ise İran’da olmak üzere üç nüshası tespit edilmiştir. Bitlisî’nin bu eseri kısa bir risâledir. Münâzarayı başlatan oruç veya Ramazan ayıdır. Oruç, kendi üstünlüğünü dile getirir. Bayram veya Şevval ayı ise gerekçeler sunarak kendi üstünlüğünü savunur. Sonra sıra hakem olarak Kurban Bayramı’na geçer ve Kurban Bayramı münâzara taraflarının önce faziletlerinden bahseder, sonra da aslında biri olmazsa diğerinin de olmayacağına ve dolayısıyla ikisinin de aynı üstünlükte olduğuna hüküm verir. Eserin sonunda II. Bâyezîd’e hitâben yirmi üç beyitlik bir kaside de yer almaktadır. Bitlisî, oruç ve bayram arasında münâzarayı başlatmadan önce kısa bir mukaddimede Akkoyunlu hükûmetinden kaçarak Anadolu’ya doğru yola çıktığını, bu yolculukta tek başına olduğunu, Anadolu’ya vardığında hristiyanların çok ve müslümanların az olduğu bir şehre vardığını ve bu şehre ulaştığında Nevruz ve Ramazan ayının denk geldiğini dile getirir. İdrîs-i Bitlisî, İslâm diyarına varmak üzere yaklaşık bir asır önce müslümanlar tarafından fethedilen Bulgaristan’ın Sofya şehrine gider. Sofya’da Oruç ve Bayram Münâzarası risâlesini kaleme alır. Bu çalışmada İdrîs-i Bitlisî’nin Oruç ve Bayram Münâzarası risâlesinin nüshaları tanıtılacak ve akabinde eserin muhtevâsı ile ilgili detaylı bilgi verilecektir.
“SENLİK BENLİK NEDİR BIRAK” ŞİİRİ BAĞLAMINDA ÂŞIK VEYSEL’İN MANEVİYATI VE DİNDARLIĞI
Authors: DOĞANAY Süleyman
Published: August 2023

Âşık Veysel, şiirleri ve türkülerindeki anlam derinliğiyle yirminci yüzyılın en önde gelen ozanlarından biridir. Çocuk iken gözlerini kaybetmesi, yoksulluk ve yoksunluk içinde bir yaşam sürmesi, onun dünyaya farklı bir pencereden bakmasında ve âşıklık sanatına yönelmesinde etkili olmuştur. Din psikolojisinin araştırma alanlarından birisi, edebî şahsiyetlerinden hayat hikâyelerinden, eserlerinden ve onların yaşadıkları dönemin sosyo-psikolojik atmosferinden yola çıkarak dinî düşünce, duygu ve davranışlarını bilimsel yöntemlerle incelemektir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle Âşık Veysel’in hayatından özlü çizgiler sunulmuş ve Din psikolojisi alan yazınında dindarlık ve maneviyat kavramlarına yüklenen anlamlardan genel hatlarıyla bahsedilmiştir. Âşık Veysel’in yaşamının olgunluk döneminde dilinden dökülen “Senlik Benlik Nedir Bırak” adlı şiiri semantik tahlil yöntemi kullanılarak düşünceye dayalı metotla analiz edilmiştir. Bir sehl-i mümteni erbabı olan Âşık Veysel, inandığı dinini bir araçtan ziyade bir amaç olarak görmektedir. O, İslam’ın müntesiplerine birlik ve beraberlik içinde yaşamayı, yaratandan ötürü yaratılanı sevmeyi, dinî düşünce alanındaki farklı yorumları birer kültürel zenginlik olarak görebilmeyi öğütlediğini söylemektedir. Âşık Veysel’i müntesibi olduğu İslam dininden memnun ve dinî yaşayışından zevk alan hümaniter bir dindar ve maneviyatı kuvvetli bir insan şeklinde betimlemek mümkündür.
