Item Open Access Analysis of urban poverty by cultural factors: an overview on Bursa case(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2007-12-01) Bıçkı, Doğan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi.Bu yazıda kentsel yoksulluk sorunun kültürel/moral nedenlerine dikkat çekilmektedir. Yoksulluk sorunuyla ilgili literatürün çok ağırlıklı bölümü, kentsel yoksulluğun, işsizlik, gelir yetersizliği, sosyal transferlerde yapılan kesintiler gibi ekonomik nedenlerine vurgu yaparken, sosyolojik nitelikteki özelliklerini ihmal etmektedir. Bu yazıda ise, genel olarak “yapısal nedenler” olarak adlandırılan politik-ekonomik nitelikli yaklaşımların dışında kalan tezler tartışılmaktadır. Kültürel nitelikli analizlerin bir bölümü, etnik temelli ayrımcılıktan kaynaklanan sorunlar üzerine yoğunlaşırken; diğer bir grup yaklaşım ise yoksulluk konusunu, maddi yoksunluğun ötesinde bir kültür biçiminde değerlendirmektedir.Yanlış devlet desteğinin yoksulluğun kalıcılaşmasını sağladığı şeklindeki görüşler de yoksulluk kültürü argümanını güçlendirmiştir. Bursa’nın Nilüfer (2004), Yıldırım ve Osmangazi (2006) ilçelerine bağlı yoksulluk alanlarında yürütülen nitel araştırmada, bu konuyla ilgili kayda değer sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, kentsel yoksullukla ilgili kültürel nitelikli kuramsal mülahazaların geçerlilik düzeyi hakkında fikir oluşturmak bakımından da önemlidir.Item Open Access Aristotle and Avicenna (İbn Sina) in terms of the theory of intellects(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2006-06-01) Kabadayı, TalipIn this paper, I aim to illustrate the theory or the understanding of intellects, which Aristotle and Avicenna (Ibn Sina) spelled out in their works, and to compare Aristotles’ opinions akin to the intellects with those of Avicenna so that I can set forth how Islamic thinkers were influenced by Aristotle in terms of their theory or the understanding of intellects among the some other things. In order to do so, first I am going to analyze Aristotle’s book called De Anima so as to explain his point of view about intellects. Secondly I will shed light to Avicenna’s ideas regarding with intellects by examining his book called Psychology of Avicenna. Finally, I am going to try to display the similarities and the differences between Aristotle’s ideas about the intellects and Avicenna’s thoughts akin to the intellects.Item Open Access Aristotle and the problem of time(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2005-06-01) Kabadayı, TalipIn this paper, I aim to explain the nature of time and of the now in Aristotle as much as possible so that I can set forth the problem of what the relation between time and the now is. In his Physics in book IV, Chapter 10, Aristotle illustrates his version of time. At first sight, Aristotle examines that time exists and what it is and in how many senses we speak of the now and what sometime, lately, presently or just, long ago, suddenly and so on mean. In order to disclose the nature of time and the importance of the now in terms of Aristotle, first I am going to try to summarize what Aristotle says about time, and then I will look into the concept of the now since it strikes me that time is centered on it in Aristotle’s version of time.Item Open Access Asylum seekers and refugees in Bulgaria: Between opened and closed doors(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-07-31) Erolova, YelisSince 2011, the increasing immigrant inflow from the Middle East to the European Union has led to the implementation of the Bulgarian policy towards asylum and refugees in a specific way. Bulgaria is a border state of the European Union where the people from the conflict regions can find security and their rights to be protected. The article draws attention to the capacity of the state institutions and readiness of society to host asylum seekers/refugees and develops questions on possibilities of their reception and integration examined by different interdisciplinary techniques of ethnographic research. The results of the survey show that asylum seekers/refugees find themselves in a contradictory situation between the Bulgaria’s asylum policy under a number of international instruments and national legislation, and the government decisions, the anti-refugee propaganda and the negative public attitudes. This controversial situation strengthens the country’s transit position in the migration corridor to other European countries.Item Open Access Byzantine-Ottoman relations in early 1420’s(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2013-07-31) Kılıç, Şahin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi.Until up to the Ottoman defeat in 1402 at the Battle of Ankara, the course of the relationships between the Byzantium and Ottoman Empire was defined by the expansionist policies of Ottomans against the Byzantium. During the reign of Beyazıd I, the attempts for transforming the Ottoman state into a centralized empire covering the Balkans had to be postponed until to the reign of Murad II. The policies pursued after the Interregnum period had also important impacts on the ways of relationships between Byzantium who was now confined within the city walls of İstanbul and Ottomans who were trying to recover. The early 1420’s was the beginning of a new era for the Byzantines. Emperor Manuel Palaiologos II who had managed to keep the state alive through his rational politics which gave direction to the Ottoman-Byzantine relations for three decades died in 1425 after a long period of illness. Ottoman Empire also entered a new period with the ascension of Murat II to the throne in 1422. Therefore, it can be said that the first years of the 1420’s was a turning point for both Ottomans and Byzantine Empire and the ways of their relationships. This article examines these changing relationships between the Byzantine and Ottoman Empire and the new balance of politics emerged after the Battle of Ankara primarily based on the contemporary sources of this period.Item Open Access The challenging facets of EFL learners’ writing performance(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2018-01-31) Zidane, RahmounaWriting constitutes an important skill that has to be acquired by learners of English as a foreign language (EFL) to be able to express themselves in a written form within different contexts including academic studies and realistic situations. It requires the manipulation of a set of linguistic and cognitive sub-skills that determine the quality of the written product. The mastery of these features is reflected in the level of the learners’ writing performance. Therefore, this article attempts to highlight the interrelationships between the distinct writing traits and their role in increasing or hindering the students’ achievement through the study of the case of third year EFL learners at Tlemcen University using tests and interviews as research instruments. The analysis of the collected data has led to the conclusion that the students’ writing difficulties are mainly related to the issues of fluency and style.Item Open Access City as the resource of philosophy(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-01-31) Yılmaz, Muhsin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Felsefe Bölümü.The relation between the concepts of philosophy and the city in the sense of the resource of philosophy is discussed and clarified. Why the philosophical manner of thinking which defined as “the causes of the creation or generation in the natural world should be searched in the frontier of natural world and the autonomous reason of man should be the only and adequate means” by Guthrie comes out form Ancient Greek instead of Ancient Egypt or other cultural realms? Agora which makes it possible to dispute in objectifying manner besides keeps also to think philosophically is an agent differs Ancient Greek form other similar cultures. One could talk in this sense about a parallelism between the philosophical manner of thinking and Ancient Greek’s way of life, i.e. Agora.Item Open Access A comparison of social networks: Native and immigrant women of İnegöl(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2012-01-06) Zafer, Ayşenur Bilge; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Tarih Bölümü.İnegöl country of Bursa city has been a settling area where substantial amount of different immigrant groups have settled. In this article, social network structures of native and immigrant women of İnegöl are tried to be analyzed and also compared. The study uses ‘ego networks’ as a methodology. Social network structures are demonstrated through a visualization package built into Ucinet / Netdraw. Different groups, which have experienced different migration and acculturation processes, exhibit different social network structures. This study shows us how different cultural groups can be compared with social network analysis method.Item Open Access The condition of the cultural and historical resources of the Pavlodar region(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2016-01-31) Zhakupov, Altynbek; Kızılçaoğlu, Alaattin; Wendt, Jan A.; Atasoy, Emin; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Eğitim Fakültesi/İlköğretim Bölümü.The Pavlodar region is located in the northeast of Kazakhstan. The most part of the territory of the Pavlodar region is in limits of the South of the West Siberian Plain on average a watercourse of the river Irtysh, and occupies the space of 127,5 thousand km ². In the north the area borders with the Russian Federation (Omsk region), in the south - with the Karaganda region, in the east - with East Kazakhstan, in the West - with Akmolinskaya and North Kazakhstan regions. Total, there are about 1000 archaeological monuments in the area, most of which, 705 are included in "The arch of monuments of the Pavlodar region", but the potential of their further identification isn't exhausted yet. From 12 districts of the region, the greatest numbers of monuments of archeology are three largest districts, Bayanaul, Mayskiy and Ekibastuz have, and then follow Pavlodar, Lebyazhinskiy, Shcherbaktinskiy and other districts. The article discusses the situation in the region at the moment as the main tourist cluster componentItem Open Access Conflictual approaches to nationalism in the Islamic thought in the late Ottoman society: A case study of the journal Sebilür-reşad (1908-1924)(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-07-31) Aşık, M. Ozan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Sosyoloji Bölümü.In this study, I examine the journal Sebilür-reşad to understand how nationalism was coupled with Turkish Islamic thought in the journalistic discourse between the years 1908 and 1924. For this study, I analyzed thirty articles published in Ottoman Turkish in the journal between those years. The mainstream idea of the journal during this period was to stress a perceived conflict between the Muslim world and western powers and to advocate the idea of the unity of Muslims against the colonialist activities of western powers in the region. The idea of this unity, however, seems to be articulated in different and even contesting nationalist terms. Therefore, my intention here is to demonstrate how Islamic discourse was mediated by journalistic activity with reference to varying nationalist approaches (Turkish, Ottomanism and territorial nationalism) and their ‘others’ under changing political circumstances.Item Unknown The contribution of an important verdict of Turkish Council of state to the system of law in evaluating civil servants(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2006-12-01) Derdiman, R. Cengiz; Uludağ Üniversitesi/İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi.According to the resolution established unanimously on 31 January, 2005 by basis no:2004/6213 and resolution no:2005/329, II. Seccion of Turkish Council of State, has applied a procedure ensuring civil servant’s security, equality and impartiality beyond defined establishments about the evaluation of civil servants in the exercise of their duties. In this short study, the chronic of this resolution will be emphasized. It is about arranging the registry report, the document regarding the evaluation of the function of civil servants. I want to analyse and present this resolution below with reference to different aspects which I notice important and original in terms of comperative law and public administration.Item Unknown Critical approaches to Edward Said’s Orientalism(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-01-31) Tekdemir, HandeEdward Said’s ground-breaking work in postcolonial studies, Orientalism, has received both praise and criticism since its publication in 1978. Focusing on the various reactions to Orientalism, this article draws attention to the relevance of the intricate relationship between Orientalism’s main tenets and Said’s thoughts about intellectuals’ commitment in our current society.Item Unknown The cultural values which evolved from Hasan Dede and his social environment in Şehitler Village(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2009-12-01) Taş, Hülya; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Türk Dili ve Edebiyatı Bölümü.Village Sehitler is 10-11 km away from Inegöl and 30 km away from Bursa. It is believed that the village was established by Hasan Dede, who was a descendant of Ahmet Yesevi. All the members of the village are Alawii. The rules put forth by Hasan Dede and other Alawii elders are still dominant in daily life. These rules also from the basis of Alawii philosophy. Since the village was invaded, burnt and pillaged by Greek soldiers during the Turkish war of Independence, there remained no written resource about Hasan Dede. This study is based on mutual talks with the villagers and focused on legends, beliefs and traditions set forth by Hasan Dede and his followers.Publication Unknown Culture shock and cross-cultural adaptation in Maggie Gee’s Virginia Woolf in Manhattan(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-10-16) Düzgün, ŞebnemMaggie Gee’s Virginia Woolf in Manhattan (2014) depicts the resurrection of Virginia Woolf in contemporary New York. Having been encultured into the norms of Victorian period and the early twentieth century, Virginia is overwhelmed by an initial sense of estrangement in the modern, multicultural world, whose façade has been shaped by advanced scientific and technological developments and the changes in traditional socio-economic and cultural relationships. When Virginia decides to be deculturated from Victorian culture, she starts to adjust herself to the new world, in which she has a chance to develop herself in a more liberated woman. This study refers to theories on culture shock and cross-cultural adaptation to show that Gee’s Virginia, who moves from the early twentieth-century society dominated by conservative Victorian norms, achieves crosscultural adaptation into a foreign community by adjusting herself to the rules and values of the global and multicultural twenty-first century world.Item Unknown Debate on word system-modern word systems in the context of Andre Gunder Frank and Immanuel Wallerstein(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2017-07-31) Yeniçırak, Hasan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen-Edebiyat Fakültesi/Sosyoloji Bölümü.This study is an assessment on over modern system and world system one in terms of Andre Gunder Frank and Immanuel Wallerstein. There are two sides of this study. On the one hand are Andre Gunder Frank and his supporters such as ChaseDunn and Wilkinson. On the other hand of the dispute Immanuel Wallerstein and his followers such as Immanuel Wallerstein, Giovanni Arrighi, Fernand Braudel, Samir Amin and Janet Abu-Lughod. Frank and his supporters advocate word system; however Wallerstein and his followers is adherent of Modern World System. In the Wallerstein’s perspective, modern world system, in other words capitalist modern world system, is last and unique systems to be found in the sixteenth century. However, according to Frank, it is possible to find the characteristics peculiar to modern world system such as endless accumulation of capital, center-periphery (coreperiphery) relation and hegemony process also earlier before the sixteenth century.Item Unknown The defense of externalism about reasons from a new perspective(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2004-06-01) Doğan, AyselSome philosophers contend that people who accept certain moral judgments act in accordance with these judgments, and that it is odd for people to accept certain moral judgments and yet to be entirely indifferent as to acting on these judgments. According to these philosophers, moral considerations people hold motivate them to act in certain ways. Nevertheless, it seems possible for people to be indifferent to moral judgments they believe while acting. This is the main focus of the objection externalists raised against internalist claims just mentioned. I think that externalists are on the right track in criticizing the internalist contention that the connection between holding a moral belief and motivation to act is necessary. Accepting a moral principle may not have any corresponding motivation to act on the relevant principle. The arguments brought against internalism within the traditional reason/passion framework are not, however, strong enough to defeat it conclusively. Instead of the dualistic framework, I propose a new perspective based on a triadic division of soul, and the idea of autonomy of will, which I believe, help us definitely condemn internalism.Item Unknown Design of a robotic toy and user interfaces for autism spectrum disorder risk assessment(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2019-01-31) Uncular, Deniz; Artut, SelçukAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is an umbrella term for a spectrum of complex developmental disorders resulting in deficits in social communication and repetitive and stereotyped behaviors (APA 2013). Research in the area revealed that young children with ASD are interested in technology. This preference for technology may lead to promising intervention models (Annaz et al. 2012; Klin et al. 2009; Fong et al. 2003). This paper includes research into how to design and use technology to create suitable products for deficits of ASD. With all the concern over the high prevalence ratios of ASD, this study presents the methodology and design of a risk assessment device, which aims to capture the interest of children with ASD aged 3-4, and direct children who score low on the tests towards a diagnosis. The tests in the device are designed to detect differences with ToM tests between ASD and typically developing (TD) children. In the scope of the paper, 2D illustrations, interface design, and outer shell design of the device are created in compliance with the research data in the field.Item Unknown Desperate lovers versus tyrant beloveds: the master-slave analogy in the poems of John Keats and felicia hemans(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2020-11-17) Özkan, HediyeAlthough love of nature as a source of inspiration is one of the primary themes in Romantic period, romantic love, which conveys the passion, pleasure, or the pain of love, often appears as a common theme in Romantic poetry. Romantic poetry becomes as a fertile space where some of the poets explore romantic love as a powerful, intense, and irresistible emotion that gives pain and melancholy rather than pleasure and happiness. I argue that the uneasy relationship between the lovers and beloveds in Romantic poetry, particularly in poems of John Keats and Felicia Hemans parallels with a long-lasting theme, the pain of love, depicted through the sultan-servant or master-slave analogy in Ottoman Divan poetry. Discussing the function of masterslave analogy in Ottoman Divan poetry and theorizing love within philosophical and scientific contexts with the ideas of Ficino and Hegel, this paper examines how Keats and Hemans employ this analogy in their poems and explore the pain of love to demonstrate the power dynamics between the lovers and beloveds.Publication Unknown Determinants of adoption of mobile games: Extending UTAUT2 with trust and reward(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2023-06-07) Erdoğan, GörkemThis paper's goal is to investigate the variables influencing mobile gaming players' behavior intention based on the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) model. The UTAUT2 model is expanded by adding variables, trust, and reward, in addition to the model’s variables. The behavior intention to adopt mobile game is used and usage behavior is taken as the dependent variable. A survey is conducted and a sample of 474 mobile game players in Turkey isanalyzed through structural equation modeling approach. The results indicate that reward has themost influential effect on behavior intention, followed by trust, price value, habit, social influence, performance expectancy, facilitating conditions, hedonic motivation, and effort expectancy. Besides, behavior intention has a significant positive effect on the usage behavior. The findings of theresearch fill the gap in existing literature on mobile games as well as provide valuable base for forthcoming research findings in mobile games.Item Open Access The disembedded custom: Intrafamily murders for sexual honor in Turkish metropolises(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2000-06-01) Şimşek, Sefa; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Fen Edebiyat Fakültesi/Sosyoloji Bölümü.The subject of this article is the intrafamily murders committed for sexual honor in big cities and metropolises. Murders for sexual honor and the customs concerning them are among the basic elements of traditional and rural cultures. However, great waves of migration, technological advances, development of communication, and the globalization process experienced especially since the 1980’s have radically changed the coordinates of the rural-urban, traditionalmodern and local-universal distinctions. Just like many other things have been dismantled from their contexts, intrafamily murders for sexual honor, too, have been disembedded out of their original milieu, and begun to haunt in big cities and metropolises. Therefore, the globalization process does not only involve the expansion of such concepts as democracy, liberalism and human rights that are highly valued by the civilized world, but also that of primitive cultures, violent customs and superstitions.
