ÇATIŞMA BÖLGELERİNDEKİ İNSANİ PROGRAMLARIN UZAKTAN İZLENMESİ VE DENETLENMESİ: LİTERATÜR İNCELEMESİ

Rudaina ALKHAZAM, — 2024-08-29

Since 2013 many countries have been a rise in both number of conflicts and battle casualties; the number of conflicts increased from 26 to 30 between 2013 and 2014 (Gates, etc, 2016). In general humanitarian relief workers have been increasingly targeted in crisis; there were 110 attacks on relief workers in 2014, resulting in 121 deaths. International actors are preferred as kidnapping victims as they provide both a higher ransom and a more visible political statement (Stoddard, etc, 2009). The need to maximize the safety of staff results in miniature access for humanitarian programming and monitoring. The restrictions imposed by both governments and non-state actors who are seeking to exercise control over territories making the access to reach very limited; The researchers see a direct correlation between increasing violence and shrinking humanitarian presence (Stoddard, etc, 2014). When the dangerous to international organizations working in conflict zones becomes highly or access is very limited, they are often left no other choice than to remove themselves from the situation., of course this has a harmful effect on local populations who will remain without any support. Then remote programming will be the most alternative to ‘bunkerization’ (Egeland, etc, 2011). It aims to continue the provision of services on the ground while it supposes that local actors are able to provide services at a reduced level of risk than that faced by international staff because they have greater knowledge of local context and more acceptance in the community. In some cases where a high risk prevents access for expatriate staff from international organizations and national staff from national organizations, remote programs are executed and managed by local actors from communities. This literature review aims to identify these remote and auditing approaches, collating lessons learned and best practices for humanitarian programming in inaccessible conflict situations. While humanitarian programming and monitoring in inaccessible zones has been required in several recent conflicts, it is having largely been governed by trial and error due to lack of comprehensive instruction and detailed strategy. This review hopes to inform the creation of evidence to support humanitarian organizations in conflict settings.

Fırat YILDIZ, — 2024-08-29

Sabahattin Ali and Jerzy Kosinski come from quite different backgrounds. Their prominent studies are named Kuyucaklı Yusuf and The Painted Bird respectively. These novels intersect at certain points in respect to subjects they refer. Both authors refer to social issues. In times of political, economic instability and change, instability in social and cultural life is observed as well. Kuyucaklı Yusuf deals with the pre-World War I and the outbreak of war.

Zakaria KALLO, — 2024-08-29

In all countries, a significant part of the economic activity and output comes through the small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Although they are much smaller compared to listed, multinational conglomerates, SMEs are a vital component in the economy of any country, even in developed countries. They are completely different in terms of funding structure, reporting requirements and stakeholder expectations. Thus the financial reporting requirements for SMEs also vary considerably. Therefore the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), created international financial reporting standards (IFRS) for SMEs. IFRS for SME was simplified to fit the reporting needs of SMEs, keeping in mind the skills they have and the level of costs they can afford. In parallel to this Turkish Financial Reporting Standards (TFRS) for SMEs were included in the legislation by published numbered 27746 in the Official paper dated November 1, 2010 by Turkey Accounting Standards Board (TASB) in accordance with this standard in Turkey.

EVALUATION OF APPEAL TAX LAW WITH REGARD TO TAX LAW

Furkan KILINÇ, — 2024-08-29

The appeal is an area between the first-instance court and the appeal court, both the material and legal aspect of the event that caused the case. In other words, the appeal is that the judgment given by the first instance court is re-examined by a higher court. This is a case at first glance, the length of the trial and the fact that the final decision on the case will be delayed, is not true. Because the dual judicial system tries to treat the case for both the material and legal aspects for the appeal court in the legal systems it has, the duration of the proceedings is too long and justice is manifested late. However, in a system that is on the way of law, the fact that the appeal court is the real task of the appeal court is the only legal side to examine the case both lawfully and financially. With the reduction of the workload of the appeal court, the final decision on the case will be accelerated. In this study, information about the emergence of the referral law route will be given first. Further evaluations will be made about the reason for the referral law.

PUBLICITY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION: PUBLICITY OF THEATER

Elif Balam SIZAN, — 2024-08-29

The definition of '' public '' has a complex structure. On the one hand, it becomes different on the other hand, while it reveals a built-in structure depending on who makes the definition. It conceptually covers both individuals and, at the very least, citizens, with a quality that appeals to the state as an institution. At one point the public calls for the common use of individuals who resist regulation and control through a system of thought and regulation based on regulation and supervision. We should talk about a public conceptualization that is defined by the coexistence of individuals, the coexistence of citizens, or the collectivity, and the publicity that is brought into the state by the state into the state, and is therefore individualized, citizenized, abstracted from society and eventually belonged to everybody. In this framework, the concept of the public is not publicly independent. This study is aimed at a search for the elements that constitute the content of publicity, starting from the basis of the public concept. This quest will, in particular, be framed in the theatre action as a public and public activity. Undoubtedly, the presentation of the produced theatre activity requires the "public". The public can only be internalized by this activity by coming to the theatre space. In this sense, public and public debates follow an inner controversy with the theatre. However, the topic of publicity of the theatres is not a matter to be defined or explained without defining certain concepts or giving directions to the definitions. This study attempts to examine Frederickson's response to the question of "who is the public" in the study of the Spirit of Public Administration in the context of the basic concepts of publicity in the context of Theatre activity.

İhsan Ömer ATAGENÇ, — 2024-08-29

The concept National Economy has been included to the Turkish thought life during the Second Constitutional era. The decisions taken by the political power of the period also play an important role in terms of the development of the concept "national economy" in Turkish thought life. The "national economy" model presented as a recipe for the emancipation of the Ottoman State has become one of the basic properties of the construction period of the Republican Turkey.In this period, when the national independence and the national economy were intertwined, the economic thought was shaped largely under the influence of the recent discussions of the Ottoman State. Economic thought, which has a different content in the development process of the Republic, reappears with a different content on an understanding that centered on the economic developments in the foundation period of the Republic in the aftermath of the 27th of May. It was one of the main topics of discussion from the 2nd Constitutional Monarchy until the return of May 27, in the thought of establishing an independent national economy. The concept of "national economy" on the agenda in all three mentioned periods, although it has similar points of action, also contains the extent to reflect the conditions of its period as content.

Orhan DENİZ,; Mehmet Zeydin YILDIZ; Suvat PARİN , Rıdvan ERDOĞAN — 2024-08-29

Every year millions of people in the world voluntarily or compulsively migrate. there are forced migrations at the beginning of migrations which have tragic and extremely complicated consequences for humanity. In the realization of such migrations, natural disasters such as wars, internal conflicts, political oppressions and poverty as well as scarcity, drought, flood and earthquake play an important role. The earthquakes that occurred in Van on September 23, 2011 and November 9, 2011 caused hundreds of thousands of people to migrate to areas outside the earthquake zone (even for a certain period). Within the scope of this project entitled "Earthquake and Migration: 2011 Van Earthquake Example", the size and effects of migraine which caused the depression that occurred in the said dates were examined and the effects of the depreminated people on the future migration tendencies towards the future were tried to be determined. For this purpose, a questionnaire consisting of 93 questions was made face to face with 1,500 people, covering different social strata in rural and urban areas where depression was effective. In the earthquake that 644 people lost their lives, about 68,000 of the 101,000 dwellings in areas affected by the earthquake were damaged in various forms. After the earthquake, some 250,000 people temporarily migrated out of the province. The migrations that took place behind the depression were made mostly in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Marmara regions where the climatic conditions are more favourable. Istanbul has been the most migrated province in the province. It is followed by Mersin, Antalya, Ankara, Adana, Izmir and Bursa.
