MECHANISMS OF COMMERCIAL BANK FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
Authors: Novikova Tetyana , Simanaviciene Zaneta , Simanaviciene Arturas , Tuinova Tetyana
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The article examines the main financial management mechanisms of a commercial bank, as well as the prospect of creating a modern financial mechanism. The article analyzes the approach to the definition of the term "finances" and the focus of management on the placement of financial resources to obtain income. Emphasis is placed on the importance of productive financial relations between the bank and clients through financial management. The role of elements of planning, operational management and controlling in the creation of modern financial management methods is also considered. The stability of the banking sector largely determines the stability of the economy in general and its successful development. Therefore, the primary task of state bodies at the macro level and the management of credit organizations at the micro level should be to ensure such stability through the implementation of a rational monetary policy; assessment and monitoring of the state of the real and financial sectors of the economy; the fall of all types of risks and the acquisition of income, which multiplied aggregate costs. All this will contribute to the modernization and improvement of the quality of banking services provided to individuals and legal entities. An unreasonable and hasty policy in the field of banking business will not only lead to a decline in the financial stability of credit organizations, but will affect the economy as a whole. The article analyzes the financial management of foreign banking organizations, as a result of which the author came to the conclusion that the most important indicators in the development of a bank's financial strategy are the value of a financial organization, the level of bank capital, a certain number of active innovative projects, an increase in the range of products and services provided by banks, an increase management of external and internal risks, as well as development of an effective investment policy. As a result of the study, the relationship between effective financial management and a high level of liquidity management of the bank and the adequacy of its capital was revealed. The theoretical recommendations made by the author can be used by bank managers during the development of tactical measures aimed at increasing the financial stability of the credit organization, as well as during the clarification of the bank's development strategy in the phases of economic growth and decline in the interests of owners and other economic entities that enter into financial relations with banks.

Published: December 2023

The problem of bankruptcy in Ukraine is quite relevant during the economic crisis. In connection with the full-scale armed aggression of the Russian Federation, citizens and business entities in Ukraine are experiencing financial losses that lead to insolvency. The war prevents enterprises from effectively conducting business activities, making timely payments to counterparties, and fully fulfilling their obligations. The crisis that began in the domestic economy with the beginning of the war in Ukraine showed that enterprises were not ready for it at all. The lack of profit prompts organizations to borrow, which ultimately, in the case of an ineffective debt policy, can lead to a financial crisis and bankruptcy. In addition, the process of gradual integration of Ukraine into the European community with its specific, clear rules and conditions of operation in the market is currently underway, which may lead to a decrease in the financial stability of domestic sectors of the economy.

An increase in the profits of enterprises has a significant impact on the pace of economic development of the country, individual regions, and the improvement of the standard of living of the population. Therefore, the problem of competent and effective management of the profits of enterprises is relevant for the economy of Ukraine at this time.

The modern market of economic relations is unstable and changeable. The economic situation is prone to constant changes and, as a rule, the inability of business entities to quickly adapt to changing market conditions creates a crisis situation at the enterprise. The emergence of a crisis situation gives an impetus to the improvement of effective management processes, the choice of anti-crisis management methods in order to maintain profitability, because profit is the final result of the activity of every enterprise.

The article examines theoretical generalizations, the essence of profit as an economic category and the main element of the enterprise's efficiency, factors that affect its value and its importance in the financial and economic activity of the enterprise. The conceptual principles of profit management are characterized and the profit management system of enterprises is analyzed, as well as proposed actions to improve the mechanism of profit management.

Authors: Maqdid Ahmed Fakher , Muhammad Taha Al-Balisani Ahmed , Aziz Suleiman Sherzad
Published: December 2023

Marketing of agricultural products is the main factor for the continuity of dealing in the production of any crop or not, and it has an important role in encouraging farmers and urging them to improve the quality of their production; Which leads to an increase in demand, and then activates this cycle of the economic cycle.

Muslim jurists, in the past and in recent times, talked about rules relating to the market, marketing operations, its organization and control, and the supervision of all economic operations in it.

On the other hand, the parliament in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq spoke about the process of marketing agricultural products through some articles in the law on agricultural development issued in “2008 AD” No. “4”, under the title “Law for the Protection and Development of Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region – Iraq”.

This research evaluates the legal articles relating to marketing of agricultural products contained in the Law "Protecting and Developing Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq" in the light of Islamic jurisprudence; This is in terms of the extent to which those articles agree with Islamic jurisprudence.

The first topic is devoted to the concept of agricultural marketing, its elements, and objectives.

In the second topic, light was shed on the texts related to the marketing of agricultural products contained in the Law “Protecting and Developing Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq”, then the research showed the most important criteria for agricultural marketing in Islamic jurisprudence, and then compared and evaluated the legal texts contained in the said law in Islamic jurisprudence.

At the end of the research, the researcher reached a set of conclusions, including: that what was stated in the law on “Protection and Development of Agricultural Production in the Kurdistan Region - Iraq” about marketing agricultural products is a good thing; However, it is not sufficient on the subject, as compared to Islamic jurisprudence, it shows that what is stated in it is much less than what was stated in Islamic jurisprudence on this subject.

Teachers’ Perceptions Associated with Student Considerations in The Flipped Learning Model
Authors: Muhammad Mahmood Abubakir
Published: December 2023

This study explored primary school teachers' opinions on the effects of Flipped Learning (FL) depending on the grade level and subject matter taught in an EFL environment in Kurdistan. Teachers of a Bradost Private School in Raniyah participated in the study. Data were gathered by using a survey tool borrowed and modified by the researcher. 18 teachers participated randomly.  Consequently, due to the additional technology needed outside of the classroom, the participants thought that certain students could find it challenging to access. The results show that the mean scores in the area of parent involvement and parent or teacher conferences, the participants strongly agreed that in an FL, video lectures make the class more transparent to parents, and they also believed that discussions with parents focused more on learning than they do on classroom behavior. Accordingly, they believed that time created for in-class activities in the FL allowed for more active learning and increased higher-order thinking for students, based on the following construct mean scores, with instructional considerations in the FL, in the areas of personalized learning, pupils to teacher interaction, active learning, and time for learning. They believe that FL gave teachers more time to improve and tailor education for students. Additionally, they cited favorable opinions of flipped learning in comparison to traditional classrooms.

Published: December 2023

This study aims to conduct interdisciplinary research using computerized solutions to inventive problems in fluidics. The chosen direction of work relates to the scientific search for new opportunities for extremal control of the thrust vector within a complete geometric sphere (with the range of rotation angle change for the thrust vector being ±180° in any direction). This study assesses the prospects for the emergence of patentable innovative solutions for maneuverable unmanned vehicles. One of the most urgent tasks is to increase the process efficiency in forming fluid medium flow, expanding opportunities for controlling this flow parameter. The research uses an interdisciplinary approach with simulation modeling. The authors of the paper reveal new possibilities for using an ejector with two curved mixing chambers to create special jet units. Calculations (CFD) have confirmed the performance of the simulator ejector when controlling the thrust vector with 90° and 180° rotation. Manufacturing physical micromodels used additive technologies to allow simulation modeling under laboratory conditions. Using “data mining” methods, it was shown for the first time that, based on Euler’s ideas and methodology, it is possible to create a new methodology for teaching and solving inventive problems. The research results apply to power engineering and unmanned vehicles. Some results of scientific studies can be used to create special computer programs working together with artificial intelligence to create advanced techniques and technologies. Doi: 10.28991/HIJ-2023-04-04-01 Full Text: PDF

TRUST SCHEME FOR THE USE OF DIGITAL ASSETS IN THE CONTEXT OF FINANCIAL MARKET FRAGMENTATION
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Zaitsev Aleksei G. , Mashegov Petr N. ,   Plekhanov Russian University of Economics
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the functioning of international financial markets under sanctions. Opportunistic behavior on the part of international financial institutions in relation to the Russian Federation, expressed in a gross violation of obligations and blocking significant amounts of financial resources, forms an agenda related to the need to reduce the transparency of international transactions in terms of identifying their connection with the Russian Federation. One of the methods for solving the issue is the use of digital assets. The use of digital assets based on blockchain technology makes it possible to maximally anonymize the participants in a particular transaction while guaranteeing its uniqueness and execution, however, if the transaction goes beyond such technology (logistical chains associated with the supply of raw materials, equipment, etc.), then the counterparty is deanonymized outside financial circuit. Partially, that could be solved through the use of companies “gaskets” in the territory of third countries, which leads to a significant increase in the cost of logistics expenses. At the same time, “laying companies” do not provide accessing foreign financial markets and the risk avoidance for counterparties associated with accusations of doing business with companies from the sanctions list. An alternative to such companies could be digital financial assets managed by nominal owners. The paper presents methodological recommendations for the implementation of projects related to the creation of partially secured digital financial assets based on trust agreements, which will mitigate the sanctions impact on the country’s economy in the context of the fragmentation of the global financial system

The article considers the impact of international population migration on the demographic situation in Russia. Based on the results of a comparative analysis of the structure and dynamics of migration growth in Russia, it is shown that over the past 30 years, the role of international migration has been transformed from a complementary element of total population growth into a compensatory one. It was revealed that by the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century Russia has practically exhausted the migration potential of traditional donor countries in the post-Soviet space. In the medium term, that makes it necessary to expand the geography of migration flows. Both of the trends pose threats to national security.

У статті здійснено порівняння результатів соціологічних досліджень соціального самопочуття, проведених у місті Луцьку у 2009 і 2014 рр. із використанням методик ІІСС-20 та ІІСС-44 авторства Є. І. Головахи й Н. В. Паніної. Значення індексу соціального самопочуття дещо змінилося – від підвищеного (2009) до високого (2014), але внаслідок напруженої ситуації в країні – анексії частини території й військових дій на Сході – значно змінилася його змістова наповненість: збільшилися показники індексу достатності благ в інформаційно-культурній, матеріально-побутовій (1 та 2-го рівнів), професійно-трудовій, особовій сферах і сферах національних відносин та міжособистісних, тоді як сфера соціальних відносин, соціально-політична сфера й соціальної безпеки стали найбільш дефіцитними. У 2014 р. більшості населення не вистачає таких соціальних благ, як стабільність у державі та суспільстві (73,5 %), упевненість у тому, що не буде міжнаціональних конфліктів (71,3 %); керівників, спроможних управляти державою (67,4 %); державного захисту від зниження рівня життя (66,9 %); дотримання в країні прав людини (60,1 %); політичних ідеалів, які заслуговують на підтримку (56,2 %); упевненості в тому, що ситуація в країні покращуватиметься (54,5 %); справедливої оцінки заслуг людини перед суспільством (48,1 %), автомобіля (47,6 %), захисту від злочинності (44,9 %); необхідної медичної допомоги (44,6 %). У 2009 р. найбільш проблемними для лучан були питання відпочинку (54,8 %) і працевлаштування (41 %), медичного забезпечення (40,5 %), якісного харчування (37,6 %) та здоров’я (36,5 %).Побудовані показники інтегрального індексу соціального самопочуття як для міста в цілому, так і для різних прошарків населення й по районах міста: їхні значення суттєво не змінилися.
Pennsylvanian stratigraphy of Northern Midcontinent Shelf and biostratigraphic correlation of cyclothems
Authors: Heckel Philip H.
Published: December 2023

The Midcontinent Basin of North America contains well-exposed Pennsylvanian lithostratigraphic units and largely well-defined biostratigraphic zones that form the basis for the North American regional stages. These are the Morrowan, Atokan, Desmoinesian, Missourian, and Virgilian, in ascending order, of which only the Atokan-Desmoinesian stage boundary is not yet well defined. The Morrowan-Atokan part of the succession is exposed mainly in northwestern Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. The Desmoinesian-Virgilian part of the succession on the northern Midcontinent Shelf (Iowa and Nebraska through Missouri and Kansas to northern Oklahoma) is best exposed south of the limit of Pleistocene glaciation from Kansas City southward, where well over 200 lithostratigraphic formations and members, and at least 120 genetic cyclothems of various scales are recognized. Biostratigraphic zones based primarily on conodonts, plus stratigraphic position, allow correlation of most major cyclothems into the Illinois Basin and several of them into the Appalachian Basin as well.
Carboniferous palynology in Midcontinent North America
Authors: Peppers Russel A.
Published: December 2023

Palynofloras derived mainly from coal beds in the Illinois and Midcontinent basins show distinct trends in taxonomic composition and dominance up through the succession, with only minor differences between the basins. The few studied Upper Mississippian (Chesterian) coals are dominated by Lycospora, with other genera represented, including Schulzospora. Morrowan coals are dominated by several species of Lycospora, with many other genera and species represented, including first appearances of Laevigatosporites and Florinites, and the last occurrence of Schulzospora. Atokan coals are also dominated by various species of Lycospora, but are characterized by the appearance of many new taxa, including Endosporites globiformis and Microreticulatisporites nobilis at the base. Desmoinesian coals show decreasing spore diversity and decreasing dominance of Lycospora, with some coals dominated by fern spores, including the first appearance of species of Thymospora at the base. Missourian and Virgilian coals show an abrupt decrease in diversity at the Desmoinesian-Missourian boundary, with disappearance of Granasporites and near disappearance of Lycospora, which dominated miospore assemblages in the Early and Middle Pennsylvanian. Seed fern and tree fern spores became the most abundant miospores in the Late Pennsylvanian.
Calibration of Eocene-Oligocene charophyte biozones in the Eastern Ebro Basin (Catalonia, Spain)
Authors: Sanjuan Josep , Martin-Closas Carles , Costa Elisenda , Barbera Xavier , Garces Miguel
Published: December 2023

A charophyte biozonation for the transitional and continental Upper Eocene-Lower Oligocene record in the eastern margin of the Ebro Basin is performed and calibrated using magnetostratigraphic data. This study has been based on intensive sampling collected along five composite sections. The Harrisichara vasiformis-tuberculata European biozone has been renamed to H. lineata biozone, since the former index-species was a poorly characterised morphotype with a non-valid species name. This biozone is represented in the transitional Sant Boi Formation and the lowermost part of the Artés Formation in the northeastern sector of the basin, within the normal part of chron C16. The Harrisichara tuberculata European superzone encompasses most of the continental Artés Formation in the northeastern sector and the Margalef Formation in the southeastern sector of the basin ranging from chron C16n.2n (~35.5 Ma) to chron C12r (~31.5 Ma). Included within the Harrisichara tuberculata superzone, the Lychnothamnus vectensis European biozone was redefined as the interval between the first occurrence of Lychnothamnus vectensis and the first occurrence of Lychnothamnus pinguis. Redefinition of the Lychnothamnus vectensis biozone implies that its basal limit does not coincide with the basal limit of the Harrisichara tuberculata superzone, as previously believed. The absence of L. pinguis in the Ebro Basin, and probably in all Southern Europe, results in a local Lychnothamnus vectensis biozone for that area including the total distribution range of this index species. Magnetostratigraphic correlation suggests that this biozone ranges in the Ebro Basin from chron C13r (~34.5 Ma) to chron C13n (~33.5 Ma) including the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. Anew local Harrisichara tuberculata-Nodosochara jorbae assemblage zone was defined at the base of Harrisichara tuberculata superzone coinciding with the base of the Artés Formation in the northeastern sector, ranging between chron C16n.2n and chron C13r. The Lychnothamnus major European biozone encompasses the lower part of the continental Albi Formation in the southeastern sector of the basin within chron C12r. The lower limit of the Chara microcera European biozone is recorded in the Tàrrega Formation. Litho- and magnetostratigraphic correlation suggests that the lower limit of this biozone belongs to the uppermost part of chron C12r (~31 Ma). Comparisons with homologous data from the classical Upper Eocene-Lower Oligocene Solent Group in the Hampshire Basin (Isle of Wight, UK) suggest that the lower limit of the Harrisichara tuberculata superzone is isochronous in Europe but was recorded earlier in the Ebro Basin than in the Hampshire Basin due to more appropriate palaeoecological conditions.
Tempo and duration of short-term environmental perturbations across the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary
Authors: Husson Dorothee , Galbrun Bruno , Gardin Silvia , Thibault Nicholas
Published: December 2023

The complex interplay between extraterrestrial events and earth-bound processes that triggered one of the greatest biological crises of the Phanerozoic requires a high resolution timescale. Detailed magnetic susceptibility measurements at the Contessa Highway and Bottaccione sections (Italy) span the Cretaceous-Paleogene boundary and reveal clear orbital signatures in the sedimentary record. Identification of precession and 405 kyr eccentricity cycles allows an estimate of 324+/-40 kyr for the duration of the Maastrichtian part of Chron C29r. We present in the same high resolution time frame sites in Spain and the North and South Atlantic and bio-horizons, biotic changes, stable isotopic excursions and the decrease in Osmium isotopes recorded in these sections. The onset of 187Os/188Os decrease coincides with the δ13C negative excursion K-PgE1, thus suggesting a first pulse in Deccan volcanism at 66.64 Ma. The K-PgE3 δ13C negative excursion is possibly the expression of a second pulse at 66.26 Ma. Late Maastrichtian δ13C negative excursions are of low intensity and span durations of one to two eccentricity cycles, whereas early Danian excursions are brief (about 30 kyr) and acute. Biotic response to late Maastrichtian perturbations occurred with a delay of ca. 200 kyr after the beginning of K-PgE1 shortly before K-PgE3. The biotic perturbation could be thus either a delayed response to K-PgE1, or a direct response to K-PgE3, and possibly, a threshold response to the stepwise buildup of CO2 atmospheric injections. No delay is evident in response to early Danian hyperthermal events. These differences suggest that short-lived, volcanically-derived environmental perturbations were buffered within the stable late Maastrichtian oceanic realm whereas they were amplified by the more sensitive and highly disturbed early Danian oceanic ecosystem.

The sequence consisting of foraminifera-rich, alternating beds of mudstones and fine- to medium-grained sandstones was subjected to stratigraphic logging and detailed calcareous nannofossil analysis. The nannofossils were used to interpret the biostratigraphic assignment of the sequence relative to the identified formations in the study area. Index calcareous nannofossil species reveal a Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene age (~1.67 to 4.13 Ma) of the sequence, which suggests it was formed from continuous sedimentation after the Miocene collision of the Palawan-Mindoro Block with the Philippine Mobile Belt. Based on its lithologic description and age, the sequence represents the northwest extension of the Balanga Formation, a sedimentary unit reported to be extensively distributed in southeast Mindoro.
HISTORY OF THE USE OF WASTE MATERIALS IN VISUAL ARTS: CONCEPT AND ROOTS

Published: December 2023

Today the whole world is struggling with the problem of waste materials and their proper maintenance. Examples of the use of waste material are also found in art. An artist always needs a medium to create their artwork, and also, in contemporary art, many artists are creating artwork from waste materials and beautify their environment and make people aware of its reuse. The process of making artwork from waste material is today known as ‘Scrap Art’ or ‘Junk Art’. An early example of the use of waste materials in art comes from the ‘Dadaism’ Art Movement, which started in France in the 20th century, when artists started exhibiting industrially produced objects as artwork, along with their titles. From here, a question mark was raised regarding the idea of ‘Readymade Art’ and its aesthetics. Behind this was the main artist ‘Marcel Duchamp’ whose work 'Fountain' in 1917. The other two major Artists were Man Ray and Francis Picabia. The second developed form was seen in Picasso's 'Bull Head' artwork in 1942, where Words like ‘Found objects’ and ‘Ready-mades’ became popular in the history of art. Many artists in contemporary art are creating artworks using these waste materials. This is not only enhancing the beauty of our public places but also making people aware of their reuse and also showing a new dimension of art creation. This research paper analyses what new changes have taken place in terms of style and thought due to the use of waste material in art from the beginning till today.

1526-1858 yılları arasında Hindistan’da hüküm süren Babür Devleti bölgedeki pek çok alanda yaptığı atılım ve yenilikleri ile Hindistan’ın çehresini değiştirmiştir. Devlet yöneticileri ilimi bilimi desteklemiş gerek kendi sınırları
gerekse uzak memleketlerden ulema, mutasavvıf, şair, yazar ve aydınlardan oluşan kitleleri saraylarında ağırlamış hatta onları çalışmalarına imkân sağlamak adına saraylarında istihdam etmişlerdir. Tarih boyunca başka milletlerin
istilaları ile karşılaşan ve bu milletlerin kültürleriyle entegre olan Hindistan’ın pek çok alanda etkileşim içine girmiştir. Bu etkileşim yemek kültürüne de yansımıştır. Özellikle Hindistan’ın kuzey kesimlerinde yoğun olarak Türk
kültür ve medeniyetinin izlerine rastlandığını söylemek mümkündür. Günümüz Hindistan’ına baktığımızda kuzeyiyle, güneyiyle, doğusuyla ve batısıyla Türk kültürünün ülke genelinde yaşatıldığı özellikle mutfak kültüründe Babür Devleti
hükümdarlarının damak zevkinin yaşatıldığı görülmektedir. Ünlü restoranların spesiallerinde vejeteryan ya da etçil tercihlere çeşitli seçenekler sunan Babür saray mutfağı çok zengin menüsüyle dikkat çekici ve iştah kabartıcıdır
görünmektedir.Çalışmamızda Babür saray mutfağını ele alınarak menülerde sıkça kullanılan meyve, sebze, baharat ve et ürünlerine değinilerek dönemin ünlü hükümdarlarının meylettikleri yiyecek ve içeceklere dair bilgilendirme yapılacaktır.
AN OVERVIEW OF THE CAVEAT EMPTOR DOCTRINE UNDER THE UNITED STATES LAW
Authors: ANŞİN Nisa Nur ODABAŞI
Published: December 2023

Caveat emptor doktrini, gayrimenkullerin satışları açısından ABD hukukunda büyük önem arz etmiştir. Doktrinin kökeni Roma’ya kadar dayanmaktadır. Ancak ABD hukukuna onaltıncı yüzyıldan itibaren karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Caveat emptor
doktrini uyarınca, bir gayrimenkul satın alınırken alıcı dikkatli olmalıdır. Alıcının dikkatli olmaması nedeniyle keşfedemediği zararlardan dolayı satıcının sorumluluğuna gidilemeyecektir. Bu doktrin daha ziyade satıcının lehinedir.
Ancak modern gelişmeler ve kentleşmelerin yoğunlaşmasıyla bu doktrin sekteye uğramaya başlamıştır. ABD eyalet mahkemelerinin verdikleri kararlar neticesinde sorumluluk alıcıdan alınarak satıcıya doğru kaydırılmıştır. Ancak doktrinin
uygulama alanı tamamen sona ermemiştir. Bazı eyaletlerde halen daha sorumluluğun alıcıda olduğunu kabul eden caveat emptor doktrini uygulanmaktadır. Çalışmada caveat emptor kavramına, ABD hukuku kapsamında tarihçesine ve erozyona
uğramasına genel olarak değinilmiştir.

Müzik, insanın tüm benliğini içten içe saran, insanın doğuşundan ölümüne kadar her an yanında olan, büyüsüyle insanı harekete geçiren, hayallerden ortaya çıkan; bir nevi insanın içindeki sonsuz evrenin dünyanın kapılarını aralayan
bir yol olmuştur. Bu yüzden müzik, her insanın yaşamında önemli bir yer tutmaktadır. İnsanların hayatının vazgeçilmez bir parçası ve insanlar için büyük bir öneme sahip olan müzik, zamanla insanların hayatına pek çok yönüyle fayda
sağlayan, zaman zaman da ortaya çıkan problemleri çözmek için bir araç olarak kullandıkları bir yol haline dönüşmüştür. Bu araştırma, lise öğrencilerinin dinlemekte olan müzik tercihlerinin neden ve sebeplerinin ortaya konması
amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada veriler, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formuyla toplanmıştır. Görüşme sorularının hazırlanması aşamasında soruların, araştırmanın amacına uygun olmasına ve katılımcılar tarafından kolaylıkla anlaşılabilir
olmasına özen gösterilmiş. Aynı zamanda konu uzmanı 2 öğretim üyesinin görüş ve önerileri doğrultusunda görüşme formuna son şekli verilmiştir. Görüşmelerde demografik bilgiler kapsamında öğrencilere ‘cinsiyet, anne eğitim düzeyi,
baba eğitim düzeyi, kardeş eğitim düzeyi, okuduğu okul türü, okuduğu sınıf düzeyi” sorulmuştur. Veri analizinde araştırmadan, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmelerde elde edilen veriler, betimsel analiz yöntemiyle analiz edilerek. Görüşme
sonucunda katılımcıların vermiş oldukları cevaplardan ortaya çıkan nitel bulgular, içerik analizine tabi tutulmuş. Görüşmede elde edilen cevaplar doğrultusunda öğrencilerin vermiş oldukları cevapların benzerlikleri ve yakınlıkları
dikkate alınarak kategorilere göre bölünmüş. Verilen cevapların güvenilirliğini ve yansızlığını desteklemek amacıyla kategorize edilerek ayrılan cevaplar, yüzdelik oranları hesaplanarak analiz edilmiştir. Bulgulardan elde edilen
sonuçlar değerlendiğinde lise öğrencilerinin müziği genel olarak dinlemekten zevk aldıkları. Müzik dinlemekten alınan bu zevkin sanatçı ve müzik türlerine olan ilgi ile bağlantılı olduğu görülmektedir. Müziğin alt boyutları (enstrüman
çalma, müzik dinleme, şarkı söyleme), müzik klipleri ve müziğin yapısal özelliklerinin öğrencilerin müzik tercihlerinde önemli bir rol oynamadığı, çevrede gelişen bireyi etkileyen olaylara göre dinleme alışkanlığının değişebildiği,
duygu durumuna göre dinlenen müzik anlam kazandığı, aile bireyleri ve yaşanan çevrenin müzik türü tercihine etki ettiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
TAWFIQ AL-HAKIM’S VİEW OF WOMEN IN THE LIGHT OF THE NOVEL AL-RIBAT AL-MUQADDAS

Published: December 2023

Modern Mısır edebiyatında Fransız istilasıyla başlayan Batılılaşma süreci hayatın her alanında değişime kapı aralarken toplumla ilişkisi kuvvetlenen edebiyat tanıştığı yeni formlarda hayatın eleştirisine soyunmuş, her yazar kendi yaşam
tecrübesi ve fikri dizini çerçevesinde tarihe not düşmüştür. Söz konusu dönemde tartışılan konuların başında gelen “kadının eş seçimi” ve “eğitim hakkı”, gelenek ve normlar arasında kendine alan açmaya çalışırken aile hayatına
katkısı oranında olumlanmış ancak kamusal alanda varlığı uzun süre tartışılmaya devam etmiştir. Bu konuda kalem oynatan entelektüellerin başında gelen Tevfîk el-Hakîm 1944 yılında kaleme aldığı er-Ribâtu’l-Mukaddes (Kutsal Bağlar)
adlı romanda kadının eş ve annelik rollerine işaret ettmiş, modernitenin ona verdiği zararı konu edinmiştir. Çalışmada Tevfîk el-Hakîm’in kadına bakış açısı söz konusu roman çerçevesinde incelenecek ve yazara bu bakış açısını kazandıran
fikri dizin ele alınacaktır.
LEV TOLSTOY - THE INEVITABLE REVOLUTION (TRANSLATION)
Authors: SERDAR İsmail
Published: December 2023

Lev Tolstoy (1828-1910) büyük bir yazar olduğu kadar teoloji, sanat, sosyoloji, eğitim gibi alanlarda da fazlasıyla kafa yormuş bir düşünürdür. Özellikle yaşamının ikinci yarısında geçirdiği aydınlanma ile edebiyattan bir nebze uzaklaşarak,
hümanizm, direnmezlik, pasifizm gibi temalara ağırlık vermiştir. Bunda, hiç şüphesiz yaşadığı dönemin çalkantılı atmosferi etkili olmuştur. 1904 Rus-Japon Savaşı, 1905 Rus Devrimi, ülkedeki siyasi baskılar, ekonomik zorluklar,
yazarı sosyolojik ve siyasi konularda daha fazla düşünmeye ve inisiyatif almaya sevk etmiştir. Örneğin, 1891 yılında Güney Rusya'yı vuran büyük bir kıtlık ve kuraklığın yaşandığı ve bölgede sadece kolera nedeniyle 500.000 kişinin
hayatını kaybettiği dönemde, büyük bir uluslararası bağış ve yardımlaşma organizasyonu yürütür. Bizzat bölgeye giderek bu yardımların düzenlenmesi için bilfiil çalışır; binlerce insanın faydalanacağı aşevleri, sağlık ocakları kurar.
Ancak hükümetin bile yetersiz kaldığı böylesine büyük bir insani trajediye yakından tanık olması, kendisinde köklü bir fikir değişikliği yaratır. Zor durumda olan insanların -ki o dönemde Rus halkının büyük çoğunluğunu oluşturur-
sadece bağış ve başkalarının yardımlarıyla kurtulamayacağını, daha köklü ve insanlığa yakışır bir düzenin kurulması gerektiğine kanaat getirir. Sosyolojik olduğu kadar, mevcut ekonomik düzenin, halkın bir kesimini -özellikle köylüleri
ve işçileri- halkın azgınlığını oluşturan diğer insanların tekeline ve insafına bırakmasına şiddetle karşı çıkar; özel mülkiyet ve fabrikalarda çok düşük ücrete ve zor şartlarda çalışan işçilerin emeğinin sömürülmesine karşı sesini
yükseltir. İşte bu saiklerle Tolstoy, daha adil bir dünya düzeni ve umut vaat eden bir gelecek amacıyla çeşitli yazılar kaleme alır. İnancım Neden İbarettir, Tanrı'nın Egemenliği İçimizdedir gibi oldukça önemli kitaplarının yanı
sıra, yaşamının son yılında yazdığı ve dolayısıyla 82 yıllık uzun yaşamı boyunca özümsediği dünya görüşünü yansıtan makalesi, Kaçınılmaz Devrim de (H?�?�?�?�?�?�?�ы?� ?�?�р?�?�?�р?�т) Tolstoyculuğu özetleyen son derece önemli bir
metindir. Çevirisini yaptığımız bu makalenin, ülkemizde Tolstoy’u ve onun felsefesini tanıtan çalışmalardan biri olacağını umut ediyoruz.
