The Epistemological Approaches of Positivism, Relativity and Social Constructionism to Social Sciences: Is Critical Realism a Solution

Pınar FAYGANOĞLU, — 2024-08-29

Making science to understand world better has been one of main aims of humanity and there have been different approaches on how it can be done throughout history. For a long time, Positivist approaches, which have been used by natural sciences and based on solely observation and empirical attitude, have been seen as the right prescribed for the social sciences. There are some approaches against this assumption though. For instance, relativism denies the outer reality and utters that social sciences cannot use positivist applications. Besides, social constructionism asserts that reality is based on the descriptions that are constructed socially. Yet, all these approaches fail to reveal the epistemological situation in the social sciences and this idea takes the central role of this paper. ‘Critical Realism’ can be the solution for this by containing both the realism of positivism and the conceptualism of relativity and social constructionism to some extent, moreover providing a more holistic view. In this paper all these assumptions are discussed.

Internal Review Of Formation & Characteristic Traits Of The Owner Managed Companies

Ahmet Ferda SEYMEN,, Mert Seymen — 2024-08-29

Companies are formed by human beings. Like a human being when a company is formed it starts its journey by passing through many stages like the infancy and continues its growth as a teen to a more mature entity throughout the years. Unparallel to the human life span it also ages and starts to decline over the years. The founders have a tremendous impact on the growth of the company. Usually, the founders are entrepreneurs who are by nature opportunists who inherit high self-motivation and confidence and are compulsive individuals. The traits of the individual are passed on to the company as a behavior pattern and a culture in doing business with people, organizations, and society in general. Hence, its very important to analyze the core values of the company and identify the reason of its being in business, and search for answers concerning: Are the proper tools and channels used for healthy growth? Is the company being managed properly to attain sustainable growth? What are the risks and problems ahead which could halt the healthy functioning of the company? This article analyzes company formation in light of the topics given in the Key Word section of this article.

Research On The Causal Relationship Between Azerbaijan Petroleum Consumption And Economic Growth And The Dutch Disease

Hüseyin Naci BAYRAÇ,, Fatih ÇEMREK — 2024-08-29

ABSTRACT Oil and petroleum products have an important place in the exports of Azerbaijan, which is a transition economy. The petroleum sector is the main source of growth and constitutes a large part of industrial production. This shows that Azerbaijan is experiencing a problem called “Dutch Syndrome-Disease”, which means that other sectors are not developing or collapsing in the face of the rapid development of the oil industry. Investments made in the petroleum industry after the "Asrın Agreement" signed in 1994 have had a greater effect on the GDP growth of the country than other industries. Today, the most debated issue in the country is how to invest in oil revenues and to channel into the development of non-oil sectors. In this study, the energy policies of Azerbaijan and the relations between oil consumption and economic growth are discussed. Using the annual data between 1990 and 2016, the causality relationship between per capita oil consumption (kg) and per capita GDP (with US $ and 2010 fixed prices) was investigated. For this, Granger bivariate cointegration analysis was applied and it was determined that there was a cointegration relationship between two variables. As a result of the analysis, after determining the acceleration effect of oil on economic growth, the effects of the Dutch disease in Azerbaijan on the economy will be discussed and the results obtained with the policies implemented in the solution of the problem will be evaluated.

The data were collected by using a questionnaire with 17 questions, Moral- Sensitivity Questionnaire, and California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory and analyzed through Shaphiro Wilk test, Student t test and Chi square test. 67.4% of the students were nursing students and 32.6% were medical students. It was revealed that in both groups, the critical thinking disposition (Medical=212.02±29.34; Nursing=203.74±30.62) was low; however, medical students had higher scores of critical thinking disposition than nursing students and there was a statistically significant difference between them (p<0.05). It was found that the moral sensitivities of the students were at moderate level (Medicine=87.1±24.26; Nursing=95.5±23.92). However, it was determined that medical students had lower total score and subscale scores of the moral sensitivity questionnaire than nursing students and there was a statistically significant difference between them (p<0.05). It was found that both student groups has lower critical thinking disposition, whereas their moral sensitivities were at moderate level; however, the medical students had higher critical thinking disposition and higher moral sensitivity than the nursing students. It is very important to organize continuous education programs following graduation in order for the nursing and physician candidates to be aware of their professional awareness.

Macro Economic Investment Decisions Stages And The Case Of Turkey

Oğuz BAL, — 2024-08-29

ABSTRACT One of the variables that make up the national income is investment. Overall investment; public and private sector investments. The decision to invest on the public side is determined by the government and the aim is not to earn profits. In the private sector, the company executives undertook the decision to invest. The investment in the free market economy, which is common in today's economies, is carried out entirely by the private sector. The macroeconomic structures of countries are an important constraint in the realization of investments. On the other hand; Policy makers, who are influential in the macroeconomic development of countries, have a weighted role in influencing investments. Finally; the country's external or external closure is another important factor affecting investments. Investments; It should be noted that when they are separated directly and indirectly, they are two separate subjects feeding each other. But; it should be known that direct investments in employment in the country economy are the result. An investor who has a rational expectation is profit in direct investments and indirect investors obtain a rent. The investor turns to him if the marginal return increases. Both public and private sector entrepreneurs have to do many analyzes such as cost-benefit, profit-loss and risk analysis when making investment decisions. As a result of these analyzes, capital accumulation is ensured through the implementation of the decisions taken and employment and economic growth are achieved. The aim of this study is; to provide information about the scope of investment concept for those interested in macroeconomics. In the study, descriptive analysis approach was applied within the framework of deduction method.

İrem PALA ÇALIŞICIİrem PALA ÇALIŞICI,, Ungsoo KİM — 2024-08-29

This study aims to investigate whether there is a scientific reality within the popular belief of celadon demonstrating the poison. Thus, its use in the Ottoman Empire which contributed to the establishment of significant collection of celadon in the world was taken as the basis of this study. For this purpose, some similar superstitions and poisons in the world were studied. Accessible chemicals especially used in Ottoman Empire were selected and tested for the verification of toxicity with celadons. It has been understood that the celadon, main subject of this study, is resembled to jade stone which was the most precious stone in early times of Far East and believed to protect from poison. Poisoning is remarkable as it can happen to anyone no matter what class they belong to and this concern was used to earn more money by merchants who took roads between East and West. Chemical compounds which were used in daily life such as make-up materials were also used as weapons for poisoning in the Ottoman period. When these chemicals were tested with celadon, it has been observed that no color change has occurred. It also has been proved through these experiments that celadons don't protect from poisoning as antecedents thought.

Çağlar DOĞRU, — 2024-08-29

In the recent years, employees face more demands from their managers and other parties with whom they are interacting with due to the developments in business life. In case of violating the principles of unity of command and unity of direction and in situations of existing incompatible demands, role conflict comes to the agenda. Besides, when employees’ degree of authority and their task activities are unclear, role ambiguity comes into the question. The purpose of this study is to provide the effect of role stress, which is comprised of role conflict and role ambiguity, on job satisfaction of employees and to indicate whether work-family conflict plays a mediator role on this effect. Hence, a quantitative analysis was implemented with the participation of 141 employees. According to the results, there are significant and negative relationships between role conflict, role ambiguity, work-family conflict, and job satisfaction. Furthermore, according to the hierarchical regression analysis results, it was indicated that role stress affects job satisfaction negatively and work-family conflict plays a mediator role in this relationship.

Development Of The Digital Literacy Scale: Validity And Reliability Study

Süleyman Erkam SULAK, — 2024-08-29

When the effects of digital technologies on education are examined; educational environments, teaching materials, methods and techniques are differentiated. This raised the concept of digital literacy. The ability of digital literacy is one of the important skills that individuals need to have in the current century. Students can learn and use digital tools without learning to read and write. Teachers cannot keep up with the speed of the new generation, but they remain behind. Therefore, teachers and pre-service teachers should be able to use digital tools effectively and have digital literacy skills. The aim of this study is to develop a measurement tool for measuring the digital literacy skills of teacher candidates, teachers and educators. The participants of the study consisted of 424 pre-service teachers who were studying at a faculty of education in the fall semester of 2017-2018 academic year. In the study to be carried out in the screening model, Ng (2012) and Noh (2017) studies were taken as basis in the development of the scale. The developed scale is a 5-point likert-type scale and consists of three factors (instructional technologies, information and communication, technical) and 44 items. Exploratory factor analysis (AFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed for construct validity of the scale. The first factor included a total of 18 items, with factor loads of 0.367 to 0.803; the second factor included a total of 15 items and the factor loadings of these substances were 0.482 to 0.675; The third factor included a total of 11 items and the factor loadings of these substances ranged between 0.509 and 0.742. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of the first factor was 0.92; the second factor 0.90; the third factor was determined as 0.91 and a high internal consistency was obtained. As a result, it can be said that Digital Literacy Scale is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to determine the digital literacy skills of teachers, teacher candidates and educators.

Ahmet ÇİFTCİ,, Eylül Duygu ERGÜN — 2024-08-29

In democratic societes governed with free parliamentarian regimes, freedom of expression and freedom of press and broadcasting as well as personality rights are legally regulated and protected fundamental rights and freedoms. Citizens in the ideal social order are those who know their rights and freedoms and also duties and responsibilities and also who use them for the welfare of themselves and the society, in a way that they do not harm others. On the other hand, freedom of press and broadcasting is a way of transferring news and information, ideas, thoughts and opinions to people and the society and the way of using freedom of expression. Mass media (printed press and broadcasting institutions) fulfill and perform important tasks,on behalf of public, such as to release news and to inform the public, to form public opinion and to criticise, to comment and to control those who are well-known people by public, and the budget. Fundamental rights and freedoms including freedom of expression and freedom of press, publication and broadcasting cannot be accepted as unlimited, for the necessity of democracy. Freedom of expression and freedom of press, publication and broadcasting, including releasing news and thougts conflict with personality rights and individual benefits. In this study, in the context of the theory of social responsibility, the concepts of the news and reports, news value, and as regards of conflict between to release news and personality rights, legal compliance of news and reports have been examined.

Impact On Economy Of Smuggling Offense In Turkey (2015-2018)

Zeynep Müjde SAKAR, — 2024-08-29

The term smuggling is described in different ways. The common point is that; The crime of smuggling is considered to be a trade made against the laws of a state, and then the trafficking of smugglers without being perceived as confidential. It is then described as an action of changing, selling, selling objects that are prohibited from buying by the law, taking them abroad, selling them secretly and selling them. As a result of its wide range of diversification and processing methods, smuggling crimes are involved in the activities of organized crime and terrorist organizations because they provide high profits at low cost. In addition, it is known that the proceeds from smuggling crimes are used as a source of finance for the activities of illegal organizations. Within the framework of security policies, the sharing and coordination of inter-agency information regarding the seizure of crime revenues from the smuggling crimes and the prevention of the financing of terrorist organizations shows that there is a mechanism in which common strategies can be formed in accordance with the structure of the fight against crime. In this context, the strategic depth of the methods used in combating the types of crime is questioned and new methods have been developed and the international cooperation channels are kept open, thus showing that there may be a decrease in smuggling crimes. Social, economic and political development of society directly affects the occurrence of smuggling crimes. In fact, sometimes the earning of the smuggling asset can be effective in the formation of the crime while mobilizing the smuggler and sometimes the geographical structure, strong social networks or the portability of the abducted asset. Considering the magnitude of the unfair gains and the functional structure of the criminal organizations, we see the rapidly globalizing world states within the scope of the economic crime phenomena and the forms of economic crime and the organizations that have been dealing with these crimes. In the first part of this study, the definition and scope of the concept of smuggling, while the historical development of the concept of smuggling is emphasized. The second part focuses on the concept of informal economy and the third part evaluates the impact of the economy on the financial structure. These assessments Interior Ministry, Security General Directorate of Anti-Smuggling and Organized Crime Agency, based on information and documents received from the Presidency of data for the years 2015-2018 the trafficking offense under the Crimes economy in Turkey has been prepared in the light.

Nermin KİŞİ, — 2024-08-29

Changes in today’s business world bring many opportunities and threats. The sustainability of business activities is closely related to the effective evaluation of these opportunities and threats. Therefore, managers’ ability of predict changes including technological, political, economic and social dimensions and shape the future with strategic approaches plays a critical role in their business success. For this reason, managers should act in the framework of a strategic structure consisted of past, present and future in their decision-making processes in order to utilize energy, time and resources in a balanced manner. With the management approach called as planned opportunism, managers can respond to changing environmental conditions by following weak signals and can try to penetrate into new market areas. Planned opportunism, which is a proactive approach to predict possible changes in the future and to set new opportunities systematically, draws a roadmap for managers to control the future. The studies on planned opportunism are rare in the literature. The aim of this exploratory research is to provide a conceptual framework for planned opportunism, which is one of the strategic management approaches. The findings show that planned opportunism will be an appropriate approach in shaping the future of enterprises by planning future scenarios with an innovative perspective. In addition, a long-term visionary perspective, the openness to change signals, a rational decision-making mechanism, an effective leadership, and a flexible and harmonious organizational structure are necessary for the implementation of this approach. The results of the research are expected to provide benefits to researchers and practitioners in the field of strategic management and planning.

Human Development Indexes And Country Comparisons

Metin YILDIRIM,, Özge ARPACIOĞLU ÖZDEMİR — 2024-08-29

The concept of development requires that countries take into account the economic power as well as some other social indicators. Because, unlike growth, development is supported by human-oriented indicators that determine the quality of life, the opportunities and the rights that countries have.

This paper seeks to expose Jesus non violence and violent response to conflict situations.

Yasin Galip GENCER, — 2024-08-29

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, döngüsel ekonomi ve sürdürülebilirlik arasındaki temel ancak güçlü ilişkiyi örneklendirerek literatüre katkı sağlamaktır. Dünya nüfusunun artmasıyla birlikte, küreselleşme oranı artmakta ve küresel ekonomi hızla büyümektedir. Sonuç olarak ekonomilerde büyüme, işsizliği azaltma ve ekonomik kalkınmayı hızlandırmaya, özellikle de 20. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında da bu konulara odaklanan kısa vadeli ekonomik politikalara öncelik verilmiştir. Ancak, tüm bunlar gerçekleşirken, kalkınma ekonomisine yönelik eleştiriler artmaya başlamış, nüfus artışı ve sanayileşmenin artması, doğal kaynaklara olan talep ve bu kaynaklar üzerindeki baskı, sürekliliği sorgulamanın gerekliliğini vurgulamıştır. Küresel zenginlik ve üretim-tüketim faaliyetlerinin sürdürülebilirliği açısından bu olgular üzerine çalışmalar yapılması gereksinimi ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu noktada, toplumların gelişiminin sürekliliğinin ekonomik değerlendirmesi yerine, ekonomik, sosyal ve çevresel faktörleri içeren daha kapsamlı bir değerlendirme yapılması gerekmektir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, döngüsel ekonomi ve sürdürülebilirlik arasındaki ilişkiyi aydınlatmaktır. Ayrıca döngüsel ekonomi ile ilgili detaylı açıklamalar ve değişik sektörler ölçeğinde sürdürülebilir kalkınma ile ilişkisi açıklanmıştır. Sonraki çalışmalarda bu sektörel incelemelerin derinleştirilmesi ve farklı sektörlerin incelenmesinin de literatüre faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Dilthey treated hermeneutics as a scientific method and tried to present epistemological bases. He sees hermeneutics as a scientific enterprise with an approach based on understanding, life and the concepts of life. Gadamer viewed hermeneutics as a historical and experiential cognitive attitude in a traditional context.

So, the conservation of historical and cultural environments is an important phenomenon for the sustainability of urban culture and social life styles of certain periods. Today the settlements with historical and cultural value lost their functions in this process and turn into spaces that are either useless or isolated in the name of protection. These areas subject to tourism are easily confronted with deterioration because of dense visitor population due to the carrying capacity of the area. However, these privileged places either within the city in or in rural areas should be protected and preserved as they are the places conveying the historical lifestyles of various civilizations and societies that has to be transferred to future generations. Conservation with a cultural focus from building to site scale especially for the World Cultural Heritage Areas brings out the discussion of heritage conservation at global scale in agenda.
