Between Stale Stability and Dynamic Contestation
Authors: Raos Višeslav
Published: December 2023

This article uses national survey data, quantitative party system indicators, as well as manifesto data to assess the proposition whether the Croatian party system is indeed one of the most stable systems among post-communist EU member states. The analysis spans three decades and focuses on changes after EU accession and confirms long-term stability of the Croatian party system. However, after the 2015 election, there was a decline in the popularity of the two major parties – Christian Democrats (hdz) and Social Democrats (sdp), and an emergence of several challenger parties – the center-right populist Bridge, which favors institutional reform and decentralization, the Eurosceptic, populist, and nationalist Homeland Movement, and We Can!, a green-left coalition of academics and environmentalists. In addition, the observed party system change was accompanied by a rise in civic referendum initiatives around bioethical issues such as sex education and same-sex marriage.
“Don’t Dig in the Graveyard”
Authors: Židek Nikolina
Published: December 2023

This article fills the gap on the research of memory of the Croatian War of Independence (1991–1995) in film and theatre and demonstrates that so far the arts have been the main channel of the emancipatory narrative, challenging the mainstream collective memory of a victim and victorious nation and serving as a space of fostering debate on the country’s recent past. The article focuses on the cultural representation of the war in Croatia in the last decade, since Croatian accession to the EU, while paying special attention to the reactions of the wider audience to such works, especially the key mnemonic actors, such as the war veterans and the nationalist politicians. The results show that even though theatre and film offer counter-narratives on the Homeland War and spur and spark the debate, it is yet to be seen if they can lead to a wider discussion in the society.
The Land of Milk and Honey?

Published: December 2023

Taking up the Croatian case and the gap in the literature concerning non-economic, micro-level drivers of migration, this article explores young peoples’ identity, and the perceptions of their country and the European Union. Survey data is analysed by means of hierarchical linear regression, aiming to answer the question to what extent the selected non-economic variables play a role in youth migration desire. Overall, the results show that these drivers do play a certain role. While perception of the EU seems to be irrelevant for young people’s migration desire, perception of Croatia is associated with it. Likewise, a stronger national identity acts as an inhibiting force. When comparing the EU and Croatia, young people do not demonstrate a defined vision of the EU, seeing it as a place where almost everything is better. In contrast, their opinion on Croatia is more nuanced, which makes variables connected to their local context more relevant.

Authors: Khakim Lutfi Abdul , Firmansyah Amrie
Published: December 2023

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) was considered the savior in the Indonesian economic crisis 1997 because of their agility to be owned by anyone who intends to do business. On the other hand, MSME faces the threats of limited capital and low-quality human resources. Initially, the effect of the threats was that MSMe caused environmental issues in the surroundings because of the law control management; thus, related research needs to be conducted. This study aims to evaluate the adequacy of the regulatory ecosystem related to MSMEs in Indonesia related to sustainability issues. With this aim, the qualitative descriptive method is very relevant to the needs of this research. The results of this study show that Indonesia's MSME regulatory ecosystem is still weak in raising sustainable issues. Practices to improve sustainability performance were identified, and suggestions to related institutions were also presented at the end of the writing. Research about the adequacy of government policies related to the sustainability of MSMe in Indonesia is infrequently conducted; thus, this research will contribute both academically and practically.

Mosses are an attractive model for studying the mechanisms of plant adaptation to unfavorable environmental conditions. There is little information in the literature on the pigment composition and its role in stress resistance of mosses, although this topic is quite widely covered for higher vascular plants. Unfavorable environmental temperature is one stress factors with the strongest effect on plants, since photosynthesis, the main energy-supplying producing process in plants, is sensitive to temperature and often inhibited before other cellular functions are impaired. Chlorophyll is known to play a central role in the process of photosynthesis. In this regard, the aim of the present work was to study the response of the moss Hylocomium splendens Hedw. to temperature stress. The chlorophyll content and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters in H. splendens shoots were investigated. Results showed that both elevated and negative temperatures decreased the content of chlorophyll a significantly, while, on the contrary, the content of chlorophyll b increased. It is interesting to note that the decrease in chlorophyll a under temperature stress was accompanied by an increase in the content of pheophytin a. The content of chlorophylls in the post-stress period did not recover to the control level. Temperature stress did not affect the maximum photochemical efficiency of photosynthesis, but the rate of electron transfer significantly decreased under the influence of low temperature. Thus, significant changes in the pigment composition of chlorophylls are not always accompanied by changes in fluorescence parameters to the same extent.
Estimation insecticidal action of Abamectin and Neem oil against Tuta absoluta insect (Lepidoptera : Gelechiidae)
Authors: Hanash Alyaa abdul-ridha
Published: December 2023

Abstract

Tuta absoluta  insect is one of the pests that has spread recently as a major pest for many species of the nightshade family especially the tomato crop, as it was recorded as an imported pest in Iraq in 2009. The harmful role of this insect is the larvae, as the larvae work mines as a result of their feeding on the mesophyll layer in the crop leaves, which affects the process of photosynthesis, in addition to the holes they make in the stems and fruits, which quickly become infected with mold as a result of the action of pathogens . Based on the above, this experiment was conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of some biological control elements in management the tomato leaf miner T. absoluta, which may have an important role in reducing its spread. Laboratory biocontrol tests indicated that significant difference among the treatments compared to control for all used pesticides concentrations and all time durations also biocide abamectin was superior to the botaincal insecticide neem oil in mortality rates. Results showed that the relative effectiveness of pesticides increased with the increase in the concentration used for all pesticides, the highest mortality rates were at high concentrations of both pesticides used in the experiment also increased with increasing time period, larvae mortality at a concentration of 10% for neem oil was 68.55, and the larvae mortality at 0.50  concentration of abamectin was 67.50 after 24 hours of treatment, and this percentage began to increase until it reached (90% and 94.50%) for ( neem oil and abamectin) respectively after 72 hours of treatment.

Authors: Saad Obaid Jameel AL-Masoodi
Published: December 2023

In this research, (ARCH) and (GARCH) were used, which are mathematical models for time series, as the study of time series is considered one of the topics of great importance in analyzing the behavior of various phenomena and interpreting them by analyzing their change according to time, adopting different time periods. Among the most prominent time series are series Finance, which is volatile, that is, characterized by the characteristic of instability (volatility), which makes the use of (ARMA) models inaccurate in its predictive results, which work on the assumption that the variance of the random error, which is distributed normally, and which is constant over time. As for time series, this condition is This is not true and it shows variation and fluctuations at different periods of the series.

This research aims to choose the best model for the conditional variance of the remainder of the time series model in the process of studying the surplus and deficit in the general financial budget of Iraq on a monthly basis for the period from January 2008 to September 2023. Accordingly, we will build a statistical model using the (ARCH) family and also know the risk element or Uncertainty) by using preference criteria to build time series models and then using the estimated model to predict the variance fluctuations of that model, The study showed that the best forecasting model is GARCH (2,0).

Published: December 2023

Introduction: Smartphone app interventions based on cognitive-behavioral therapy are promising scalable alternatives for treating mental disorders, but the evidence of their efficacy for postpartum depression is limited. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of Motherly, a standalone CBT-based smartphone app, in reducing symptoms of postpartum depression. Methods: women aged 18-40 with symptoms of postpartum depression were randomized either to intervention (Motherly app) or active control (COMVC app). The primary outcome was symptoms of depression measured by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at post-treatment. Secondary outcomes were anxiety symptoms, parental stress, quality of sleep, behavioral activation, availability of response-contingent positive reinforcement, and clinical improvement at post-treatment and 1-month follow-up. Exploratory analyses were performed to explore if app engagement was associated with treatment response. Results: From November 2021 to August 2022, 1751 women volunteered, of which 264 were randomized, and 215 provided primary outcome data. No statistically significant differences were found between groups at post-treatment: intervention: Mean (SD): 12.75 (5.52); active control: 13.28 (5.32); p=0.604. There was a statistically significant effect of the intervention on some of the secondary outcomes. Exploratory analyses suggest a dose-response relationship between Motherly app engagement and outcomes. Conclusions: our standalone app intervention did not significantly reduce postnatal depression symptoms when compared to active control. Exploratory findings suggest that negative findings might be associated with insufficient app engagement. Consistent with current literature, our findings suggest that standalone app interventions for postpartum depression are not ready to be implemented in clinical practice.

Readers will gain inspiration from the diverse applications of ORB and RANSAC, spanning landscapes, architecture, and beyond.
On the Spurious Effect of Intergroup Friendship on Outgroup Attitudes in Schools: The Role of Social Influence and the Positive Impact of Exposure to Outgroup Peers
Authors: Zingora Tibor
Published: December 2023

Intergroup friendship in schools is regarded as a powerful strategy for improving outgroup attitudes. However, stochastic actor-oriented modeling (SAOM) studies have often revealed no association between intergroup friendship and outgroup attitudes. We investigated whether SAOM studies reported no effect of intergroup friendship on outgroup attitudes, what was responsible for this surprising finding, and whether exposure to outgroup peers was positively related to outgroup attitudes. Our meta-analysis of SAOM studies confirms no association between intergroup friendship and outgroup attitudes. Examining longitudinal social network data of 2,700 German students, we found that a positive link between intergroup friendship and outgroup attitudes appeared only when we did not control for social influence. Exposure to outgroup peers was, however, positively associated with outgroup attitudes. These findings reframe intergroup contact theory by suggesting that intergroup friendship is not essential for improving outgroup attitudes. Instead, social influence and exposure to outgroup peers affect their outgroup attitudes.

Late European Neanderthals, associated with the Micoquian techno-complex, spread over vast area from Western Europe to the Altai. There were no sites found in the territories to the east of the Volga region. The key site of the Eastern Micoquian, Sukhaya Mechetka, which was discovered in 1951 in the Volgograd region, was for a long time the eastern outpost of Neanderthals in Eurasia. In the last five years, the results of paleogenetic analysis have confirmed the archaeological hypothesis of the migration of late European Neanderthals, the producers of the Micoquian, from Central and Eastern Europe to Altai. Until then, the genesis of Altai industries was associated with a wide range of European and Near Eastern techno-complexes, and anthropological remains were interpreted more in a Near Eastern context. In this regard, the industry of the Sukhaya Mechetka site, located on the route of the supposed migration of the Micoquians, acquires additional relevance in the research of the variability of the easternmost complexes of this cultural tradition. The attributive and technological analysis of tool kit from Sukhaya Mechetka was carried out and, using mathematical statistics methods, their results were compared with the available data on the Altai sites: Chagyrskaya and Okladnikov Caves. The new data were supplemented by the published materials from the Sukhaya Mechetka site. As a result, high level of technical-typological similarity of the compared industries in the context of primary flaking, bifacial tool production, tool typology and morphology was revealed. The structure of the Sukhaya Mechetka tool kit is closest to the Chagirskaya Сave, which is characterized by a large number of simple side-scrapers. At the same time, the site lacks of high-quality raw materials used to make bifacial items and intensively worked unifacial tools. In the Okladnikov Cave complexes this deficit is less. In composition and morphology of unifacial and bifacial tools, Sukhaya Mechetka is closest to the assemblages of the Antonovka I site and Chagyrkaya Cave. They share similarity with Okladnikov Cave in terms of a significant number of leaf-shaped and crescent-shaped tools. Some new characteristics were additionally determined for the assemblage of Sukhaya Mechetka. It was established that the primary decortications of cores was carried out outside the site. We also reconstructed the stages of production, rejuvenating and reshaping of bifaces on the site.

The Soil Reclamation Laboratory was organized in 1968, the year of the foundation of the Institute of Soil Science and Agrochemistry (ISSA) of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Over its 55-year history, the laboratory has been one of the few IPA departments that has not changed its name and main research directions. Times have been changing, attitudes towards science and reclamation have been also changing, as well as the heads of the laboratory, but its traditions have been preserved. Based on the analysis of the laboratory’s publications, three stages of soil research in technogenic landscapes can be distinguished. At the first stage, information is accumulated about the properties of man-made substrates, their fertility potential and conditions of technogenic soil formation. The second stage is marked by the generalization and genetic interpretation of the accumulated material, which result in the classification of soils of such man-made landscapes. It is noteworthy that the classification developed in the laboratory correlates well with other classification systems (Classification and diagnostics of soils of Russian (2004), Field guide for Russian soil (2008), Keys to Soil Taxonomy (2014), IUSS Working Group WRB (2022)). The third stage is characterized by the expansion of the geography of field research, interpolation and correction of ideas about the soil properties and regimes in the man-made landscapes. Currently, the team of researchers of the soil reclamation laboratory continues to study man-made landscapes located in various regions of the Russian Federation, actively using the experience and achievements of the founders of the laboratory. The main attention is paid to the assessment of the soil-ecological status and prospects for further use of disturbed territories on the basis of soil-genetic and soil-geographical studies. Thus, the soil reclamation laboratory continues to work on fundamental problems related to primary soil formation and restoration of soil functions in disturbed areas, as well as to carry out scientific and practical work related to solving reclamation problems at specific man-made sites.
Max Reger and Ukraine in the Context of Music Research and Performing Practice
Authors: PIRIEV ALEXANDER , SUMAROKOVA VIRA
Published: December 2023

The authors highlight the main directions and approaches to the study of the legacy of the outstanding composer, conductor, performer and teacher Max Reger. Its 150th anniversary was celebrated on the European territory on March 19, 2023. The significant contribution of German musicology to the scientific development of Reger's legacy made it possible to expand the idea of the composer's work in informative-biographical, theoretical, musical-textological and performing aspects. The invaluable contribution of Max Reger's widow, Elsa Reger, who published the autobiography "My life with and for Max Reger" in order to disseminate any possible information about the character and work of her husband, is described. It is noted that during the artist's lifetime he was considered old-fashioned, and his music was seen as too difficult to understand. It was found that modern musicologists point out the uniqueness of the figure of M. Reger, which is manifested in his collection of key achievements of German culture and his contribution to the consolidation of stylistic trends from post-Romanticism to Neoclassicism. An attempt was made to trace the influence of M. Reger's music on the stylistic practice of Ukrainian composers, but, unfortunately, it was not successful due to the lack of confirmed facts. A coincidence in the activities and priorities of M. Reger and M. Skoryk was revealed, analogies with the work of the Ukrainian composer arose in the process of research. Such analogies include: the national idea "as the main factor in the formation of meaning-making landmarks" as well as the attitude of composers to sound material and its organization. Recently, there has been activity in the development of Ukrainian Regeriana, which is felt, first of all, in the last decades. Information about the latest research and interpretive approaches to the performance of M. Reger's music has been introduced into the scientific circulation in connection with his 150th anniversary. It is proved that the change in the vector of European performance practice at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries towards an increase in the significant weight of the performance of intellectual music determined M. Reger's work as a component of musical culture and a paradigm of the composer's influence already on modern performance in the world as a process. The figure of M. Reger is considered as one that resonates with his famous predecessor J.S. Bach. A conclusion is made regarding Reger's music, which is experiencing a renaissance period, demonstrates its scale, emotional and creative potential, but still remains underappreciated in Ukraine.
Formation of Associative Thinking of Future Conductors in the Process of Processing Music of Theater Genres
Authors: TKACHUK VOLODYMYR
Published: December 2023

The specifics of the conductor's work on works of music and theater genres were studied, the components of this process and the importance of associative thinking were determined. The specifics of the genre of operetta, musical comedy, which consists in the fact that the main role in the productions of plays is played by the director, who builds the dramaturgical concept of the play, and in most cases is also the author of the script, is considered. Attention is drawn to the obligatory implementation of the stage work of the director in close contact with the conductor, who is responsible for the musical component of the performance. It is noted that the foundations of a conductor's professional skill are laid in the process of professional training and are consolidated during artistic practice in musical theaters. Attention is focused on the role of theatrical performance in the education of associative thinking in future conductors. The specifics of the conductor's work in the operetta theater and the opera theater are characterized as a means of analyzing the creative experience of outstanding artists. The role of the conductor's associative thinking is defined not only in psychological (as thinking with the help of images and associations) and art history aspects (as a subfactor of the synthesis of arts), but also from a sociological point of view — as corporate thinking based on interpersonal interaction of participants in the creative process, joint activity which is aimed at achieving a specific result. The need for creative adaptation of the score for a specific composition of the musical theater orchestra is substantiated. The nature of the conductor's creative interaction with the director, soloists, choir and orchestra is highlighted. Problematic aspects of students' artistic practice in musical theater are outlined and ways to overcome them are proposed. Attention is focused on creative competitions as one of the means of professional formation of conductors. Four pedagogical conditions and basic principles of formation of associative thinking of students of the opera and symphonic specialty are defined. The importance of associative thinking as a professionally necessary quality of a musical theater conductor is proven. It was found that the work of a musical theater conductor requires the formation of a set of professional competencies (professional skills, musical abilities, personal qualities, individual and psychological characteristics)
Psychological and Physiological Determinants of the Formation and Manifestation of a Pianist's Individual Performance Style
Authors: LIN MA
Published: December 2023

The author examines the essence of the concept "personal temperament" taking into account the context of the scientific theories developed by Hippocrates - Galen, A. Haller, H. Vrisberg, S. Sigaud, E. Krechmer, B. Merlin, V. Nebylitsyn, I. Pavlov, and U. Sheldon. The internal processes of every individual depend on the innate features of the given phenomenon, which are reflected in his external behavior. The specificity of the impact of innate psychological and physiological determinants of a pianist's temperament is a significant factor in the process that causes the formation and manifesting his individual performance style. There are provisions that testify to the expediency of studying the individual performance style of each pianist both from the standpoint of genesis and from the standpoint of genetics, because it depends, first of all, on the innate, and not on the acquired, psychological and physiological properties of the artist of concert and stage activity, which determine formation and manifestation of this phenomenon. The author describes the main features of the individual performance style of a pianist of each type of temperament, the formation and manifestation of which is "based" on their innate psychological and physiological properties and therefore takes place with minimal expenditure of energy and time resources, namely: virtuosity, emotional resistance to stress, balanced, but "brightly expressed" artistry (provided it is subordinated to the emotional sphere, not the intellectual) - in a sanguine pianist; virtuosity and "brightly expressed" artistry - in a choleric pianist; emotional resistance to the effects of stress and inert and balanced artistry without effective and expressive communicative stage movements, even if they are subordinated to the emotional sphere, not the intellectual one - in a phlegmatic pianist. Pianists who have a phlegmatic and melancholic type of temperament produce a "crumbly" performance of virtuoso works and passages, which is explained by the complicated slow course of both cognitive and anatomical-physiological processes in them. For the purpose of further investigations, the article offers promising directions for continuing the study of the individual performance style of a pianist of any type of temperament.

Authors: SIMONOVA NATALIA
Published: December 2023

The author offers his investigation, which indicates the main trends in the use of means of artistic expression in Ukrainian and foreign drama. Techniques of modern stage practices are revealed in order to understand the quintessence of the idea for the future production of an opera performance. Generalized conclusions are made regarding the change of certain psychological and figurative characteristics of the heroes of the New Age, focusing on the emphasis of cultural and political reforms of the period when the work was written. The main purpose of comedy is to fulfill a general social and educational task by means of a positive view of the problem. The relevance of the theme of Gioachino Rossini's opera "The Silk Ladder" is determined, which is in accordance with the work's tendency to update and rethink ancient and classical opera works for their better perception by the modern youth audience with the use of the latest technological possibilities of the theater production; as well as the composer's confidence in the existence of mutual love as the main reason for marital relations.The ideological and artistic component of the mentioned opera and the means of its implementation are outlined. Attention is focused on the fact that before creating the director's idea of the mentioned opera by J. Rossini, it is necessary to take into account its genre features, which combined the features of farsa and buffa at the same time. The history of the creation of the opera by the Italian composer and librettist in 1812 is studied, in particular, the influence of the Great French Bourgeois Revolution on its plot. The multifaceted components of scenic expressiveness, their conditioning by genre features and belonging to such a theatrical category as the atmosphere of the play, its main components and role in creating an analogue for J. Rossini's opera "Silk Ladder". It is proposed to change the name of the opera from "Silk Ladder" to "Silk Stairs" in the context of the corresponding variability of its translation from Italian, which will allow to emphasize the thematic and figurative content of the work. The musical dramaturgy of J. Rossini's opera work is analyzed on the example of solo and ensemble numbers. A musical and psychological analysis of the characters of the opera was carried out for plastic visualization of the role-image.

Contribution to the knowledge of Lepidoptera fauna in
Passo Fundo National Forest
 
ABSTRACT: Butterflies maintain a close relationship with plant species and can provide crucial insights into the environmental quality of their habitats, serving as valuable bioindicators. This study aims to investigate butterfly species occurring in the Atlantic Forest of Passo Fundo National Forest. Eight fragments were selected for active sampling to capture nectar-feeding butterflies, and among these, five fragments underwent both active and passive sampling to capture fruit-feeding butterflies. The combined effort involved 70 hours of active sampling and 84,750 hours of passive sampling, resulting in the identification of 169 butterfly species. Among these, 123 are nectar-feeding species, and 46 are fruit-feeding species. Nymphalidae emerged as the most diverse family, encompassing approximately 50% of the species. Notably, several prominent species were registered, including Arcas ducalis (Westwood, 1852), which is indicative of preserved environments. The study also provides significant insights into species interactions and includes visual documentation of certain individual specimens.
Keywords: Nymphalidae; Atlantic Forest; animal-plant interaction; fruit-feeding butterflies; nectarivorous butterflies.
HERITAGE REQUALIFICATION PROCESS THROUGH SOCIAL PERCEPTIONS: THE CASE OF "HALLE VOLTA" IN ALGIERS

Published: December 2023

Urban industrial sites in Algeria constitute a colonial heritage that often undergoes a process of degradation and abandonment, leading to ruptures in the urban fabric. The question of their preservation is conditioned by their integration into a contemporaneity useful to the community to which they represent the heritage.

Therefore, their future cannot be dissociated from the physical and social context they are part of, emphasizing the relationship between the object and the subject. Engaged in their epistemic posi-tions, this article proposes expertise on the heritage potential of Halle Volta, one of the industrial architectural structures from the late 19th and early 20th centuries in Algiers.

This expertise makes it possible to understand the appreciations and perceptions engaged by a community towards this relic of the past, with the perspective of its management and transformation. This approach highlights the connection between the social and urban dimensions that can be raised by a heritage requalification project. The knowledge gained from this aims to address the issue of the requalification of Halle Volta, and, to a larger extent, the future of urban industrial heritage in Algeria.

Published: December 2023

This paper examined the issue of graduate employability in Malaysia by exploring its theoretical underpinnings, defining key concepts, analysing the levels of employability, and investigating the underlying socio-political-economic aspects of the issue. Other than the Malaysian context, the study also drew insights from international perspectives on the employed theoretical framework, comprising the theories of job market signalling, human capital, and neoliberalism, in order to provide a comprehensive understanding of graduate employability. Then, the study highlights the distinction between employability and employment, while emphasizing the long-term ability of graduates to obtain jobs aligned with their skill sets. It critically analysed the current Graduate Tracer Study (GTS) framework in Malaysia, which primarily focuses on employment status and unable to capture the broader concept of employability, particularly long-term employability. Suggestions were put forward to expand the GTS framework by including industrial insights, addressing the horizontal mismatch of employment and long-term employability. Socio-political-economic issues related to graduate employability, such as minimum wages, income inequalities, and gig work arrangements, were also examined. This was followed by the discussions on the role of the state governments in managing employment and employability issues, along with policy initiatives that are aimed at enhancing job quality and long-term employability. Overall, this paper presents a way forward for improving graduate employability in Malaysia. From the perspective of socio-political-economics, this paper has highlighted the challenges faced by gig workers, including job security and unstable income. In line with these, necessary recommendations were proposed, including graduates' learning skills development, the expansion of existing employability programs, the enhancement of the GTS, improvements in the gig-worker sector, collaboration between academia and industries, as well as promotions of entrepreneurship and innovation.

Anadolu’nun farklı bölgelerine yerleşen Oğuz boylarının konuşma biçimindeki çeşitlilikler farklı ağızları meydana getirmiştir. Bugün derleme çalışmaları ile takip edilebilen, yöreden yöreye benzerlik ve farklılıklar gösteren bu ağızlar günümüz Türkiye Türkçesi söz varlığına katkıda bulunmaktadır. Ağızlar üzerine yapılan çalışmalar Türk dilinin yanı sıra tarih, coğrafya, sosyoloji, halk bilimi gibi alanlara da kaynaklık etmektedir. Türkiye Türkçesi ağızları hakkında yapılan çalışmalar teknolojinin gelişmesi, ulaşım şartlarının kolaylaşması ve fiziki imkanların çoğalmasıyla son yıllarda artış göstermiştir. Bu bölgelerden biri de Türkoğlu ağzıdır. Bu makalede Kahramanmaraş iline bağlı Türkoğlu ilçesinin şekil özellikleri yer almaktadır. Daha önce hakkında ses bilgisi çalışması yapılan Türkoğlu ağzının şekil bilgisi bakımından henüz Kahramanmaraş ve yöresi ağızlarından bağımsız incelenmediği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışma için Türkoğlu ilçesine bağlı tüm mahallelerden ayrıntılı saha çalışması ve derlemeler yapılmıştır. Ancak çalışma kapsamında Beyoğlu, Damobası, Merkez, Yavuzlar ve Yeşilyurt mahallelerinden soruşturma tekniği ve ses kayıt cihazıyla alınan kayıtlar dikkate alınmıştır. Derleme kayıtları daha çok okuma-yazma bilmeyen, yerleşim yerinin dışına çıkmamış, elli yaş üstü kadın konuşurlardan alınmış ve transliterasyon yöntemiyle yazıya geçirilmiştir. Deşifre edilen metinler şekil bilgisi (morfoloji) yönünden incelenmiştir. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda Türkoğlu ağzının diğer bölge ağızları içindeki yeri belirlenerek bölgeyle ilgili hazırlanacak ağız haritası için kaynak oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmadan elde edilen veriler numaralandırılarak sonuca varılmıştır. Çeviri yazıyla yazılan metinler çalışmanın sonuna eklenmiştir.
