Abstract:
There is a reciprocal relationship between religion and culture. Religion is a social institution that creates societies with elements such as faith, morals and rituals along with their cultures. In the historical process, beliefs such as Buddhism, Manichaeism, Zoroastrianism, Judaism, Christianity have been adopted by various Turkish tribes for various social and political reasons. However, the influence of the belief of Sky God, which is the basis of Turkish mythology and culture, on the Turkish tribes living in Turkestan has always continued. One of the results of the Talas War, which took place in 751, was that the Turkish tribes living in Turkestan began to accept Islam en masse. In the process of almost thirteen centuries that have passed since the arrival of the Turks under the influence of Islam, Mesopotamian mythology, along with Islamic teachings, influenced Turkic culture and folklore. Desiring to know, interpret and comprehend the nature and environment in which they live, the Turks created various toponymic legends based on their beliefs and cultures. While supernatural powers were gods, goddesses, creatures and spirits in Turkiс mythology, with the evolution of this tradition in post-Islamic Kyrgyz society, the concept of God, religious-mystical personalities such as prophet saints, jinns and angels came to the fore. Our study is about legends compiled on the territory of Kyrgyzstan and presumably formed under the influence of the Islamic faith.

Abstract:
Turkish communities had lived under the belief system of Turkic mythology, known as Tengriism, in a significant part of their history. It is noteworthy that Turkic mythology elements, which have taken such a place in the cultural life of the Turks, are not sufficiently used as visual design tools. Considering the significance of preserving cultural heritage, Turkic mythology is rarely shown in animations, video games, or movies. The primary gods, goddesses, and supernatural creatures of Turkic mythology are not directly depicted, despite the existence of some animations relating to Turkic cultures such as Keloğlan, Nasreddin Hodja, and Dede Korkut. The main concern of this article is that the elements of Turkic mythology are unable to find enough depiction. Therefore some dominant creatures belonging to Turkic mythology were transformed into character designs. As the method, two-dimensional computer-based modelling techniques were selected to compose character designs of selected Turkic mythology creatures.

Abstract:
The motif of "seccadeyi suya sermek" is a motif encountered in epics and folk tales, Alevi-Bektashi legends and Dede Korkut stories. Over time, it has turned into a metaphor that takes place in modern Turkish poetry, albeit a little, in classical Turkish poetry texts. Motif; It has a depth of meaning in beliefs and cultures such as Sumer, India, China, Christianity, which goes back to mythological ages and points to the pre-Islamic beliefs of the Turks. The reconciliation of the concepts and metaphors of "prayer rug" and "water" in the structure of the motif is the embodiment of the intertwinedness, cohesion and syncretism in beliefs and cultures. The term used as "seccâde ber-âb efkend" in some Persian texts is more common in Turkish texts. Different meanings have been attributed to the phrase in legends, mystical texts and non-religious poems. It has also been seen that the motif is especially associated with Hızır in classical Turkish poetry. The meaning and content of the term has not been mentioned in historical sources and dictionaries. The meanings given to the term encountered in two of today's dictionaries are wrong. In the study, due to the syncretic nature of the motif, the concepts and metaphors of prayer rug, water, Hızır are emphasized in order to better draw the meaning of the phrase. By investigating the traces in mythologies and legends, the meaning frame of the phrase in classical Turkish poetry has been tried to be drawn through couplet examples.

Abstract:
Although migration and people’s encounters with other cultures are significant life events, factors that influence migrants’ relationships with host countries remain understudied. This study examined the socio-cultural integration of Turkish-speaking migrants in Belgium from their perspective, using a holistic approach for participants to share their stories. Fifty-nine Turkish-speaking migrants with different religious, national, and regional backgrounds who attended common classes in a (mixed) social integration course in Antwerp participated in the study. They were subdivided into six focus groups for interviews, which allowed participants to deconstruct their knowledge of local people, their subjective beliefs, and prejudices that separated them from other cultures. We found the focus-group interviews to be valuable interventions in the integration process. The study recommends that those who organise integration courses for migrants should approach this process with kindness, empathy, and an open mind.

Abstract:
The study of modern Kazakh and Turkish languages is crucial in the context of internationalisation and globalisation, as they represent ancient Turkic cultures and national identity elements. The purpose of the study is to analyse the features of the development of the Kazakh and Turkish languages, considering the image of Korkyt Ata in the Kazakh language system. Axiomatic, comparative, and generalisation methods were used. The study reveals that the evolution of modern Turkish and Kazakh languages is a complex process that reflects the interplay between language, culture, and society. Language changes may indicate cultural shifts, including lifestyle, social interactions, and religious beliefs rooted in ancient times. The image of Korkyt Ata, present in the Kazakh language, is not just a linguistic artefact but also a deeply rooted cultural symbol. The linguistic elements used to portray him as an ancestor, wise mentor, and heroic defender form a “code” that can be understood through cultural values. Korkyt Ata’s mention in the language promotes linguistic identity, cultural heritage, and belonging to an ancient culture, especially in the context of language preservation. The practical significance of this study lies in its potential to enhance measures for preserving and strengthening the cultural heritage of Turkic-speaking communities.

Abstract:
PurposeCollective teacher efficacy (CTE) is a promising construct for understanding how schools can foster student achievement. Although much of the early research on CTE took place in North America, researchers from other parts of the world are now delving into this topic. The current study explores whether these powerful collective beliefs function similarly across diverse cultural and linguistic groups: Arab and Jewish teachers in Israel, and teachers in Turkey and the USA.Design/methodology/approachParticipants included 4,216 teachers from Israel, Turkey and the USA, representing four cultures: Arab, Jewish, Turkish and American. We tested configural invariance using multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (AMOS) and alignment optimization (Mplus) to identify the groups in which specific parameters are noninvariant, and to compare the latent factor means.FindingsConfigural invariance showed adequate fit of the model structure across the four groups. Based on invariance tests, using the alignment optimization method, CTE scales held different meanings for specific items across the four cultures, where the USA and Arab cultures were the sources of these differences. Furthermore, in comparing the two-dimensional CTE belief scale across the four groups, latent means revealed the highest mean ranking for the USA and the lowest for Turkey.Originality/valueThis research makes a significant theoretical contribution by examining and comparing the concept of teachers' collective efficacy in multiple cultures. This comparison can also contribute to instructional teaching practices worldwide.

Abstract:
In context of folk belief, serpent symbols carry deep symbolic meanings, especially evident in Duhok—in the Kurdistan region of present-day Iraq. The aim of the present paper is to bring to light and explore the mysteries of Duhok, a city and province where Kurdish is spoken and which has a history dating back to Sumerian civilization. Through interviews with the people of Duhok, the serpent motif of various cultures throughout a long history of passing civilizations has come to light. In addition, Babylonian, Egyptian, Chinese, Hindu, Greek, Iranian, and Turkish folklores are explored. The symbolic meanings though one and all have been associated with both positive and negative characteristics. As a result of this research, and based on the information collected through extensive fieldwork, it has been determined that in Duhok too the serpent is viewed not only as a source of healing and prosperity, as commonly believed, but also as a dangerous and deceptive creature.

Abstract:
The cultural distance is the totality of the perceived similarities and differences between the target and the (source) cultures in contact. Cultural distance knowledge can facilitate adapting students from diverse cultural backgrounds to the target culture. This study aims to ascertain the cultural distance perceptions of international students who study Turkish as a second language in Turkey by the classification made by Karluk (2022) into high-cost, low-cost, and zero-cost categories. A case study method based on a qualitative research approach was implemented to reach that aim. Participants are determined by criterion sampling, one of the targeted sampling methods. The data collected from 15 international students through semi-structured interview forms were analyzed through content analysis. The study showed that the participants in the high-cost groups thought their culture was different from Turkish culture in terms of “daily life,” “physical, social, and economic conditions,” “interpersonal relations and social traditions,” and “values, attitudes, and beliefs.” Whereas the low-cost and zero-cost group participants thought their culture was similar to Turkish culture. Accordingly, it appears that the high-cost groups will have more difficulty in adapting. The outcomes were discussed in light of literature and the importance of creating a third space between the target and source cultures, giving students in-class and out-of-class experience-oriented tasks, organizing events introducing Turkish culture, and providing students with psychosocial support was emphasized.

Abstract:
This article embarks on a comparative journey into the distinctive death rites and rituals observed within the Kazakh and Turkish cultural landscapes. By illuminating the remarkable parallels and divergences that characterize these two societies, it provides a unique insight into the profound ways in which death is understood, celebrated, and mourned. The article investigates cultural, historical, and religious influences that have shaped the death rituals of both Kazakh and Turkish communities. It delves into the symbolic elements, funeral ceremonies, burial practices, and commemorative traditions that define these cultures’ approaches to death and the afterlife. Furthermore, this study examines the evolution of death rites in these societies, exploring how factors such as modernization, globalization, and shifting religious beliefs have influenced these age-old practices. It also considers the roles of gender, family structures, and community involvement in these rituals. By comparing these two cultures, the article aims to shed light on the unique ways in which the Kazakh and Turkish communities have preserved their cultural identities while adapting to the challenges of the contemporary world. The interplay between tradition and innovation within these death rites underscores the resilience and adaptability of these rich cultural heritages. Ultimately, this article not only offers a cross-cultural understanding of death rites and rituals but also provides a glimpse into the enduring significance of these practices in maintaining the social fabric and spiritual well-being of Kazakh and Turkish communities. It highlights the importance of cultural preservation in a globalized world and the enduring connection between people and their traditions, even in the face of changing times

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to explore beliefs and experiences of Turkish immigrant women in Norway related to body weight, nutrition and exercise practices. Design/methodology/approach This study has a qualitative research design. Ten semi-structured interviews and a focus group were conducted with a purposive sample of Turkish immigrant women residing in Oslo, Norway. Themes were identified in the transcripts using systematic text condensation. Findings Participants viewed Turkish women as more commonly overweight or obese compared to Norwegian women. Weight was discussed openly among Turkish women and a preference to lose weight, both as individuals and among community members more broadly, also emerged. For participants, this represented a generational shift. Participants identified their barriers to weight loss, including norms around socialization and food in their community and exercise and eating practices during the long Nordic winter. Practical implications Participants expressed a tension between concern about health impacts of overweight and obesity and the desire to uphold cultural practices around food. Weight-related health-care initiatives for Turkish immigrant women can take into account such experiences shaped by their interaction with multiple cultures. Originality/value Participants emphasized that perspectives about weight in their Turkish immigrant community were influenced by the transition toward thin weight ideals in Turkey. Self-image regarding weight was also situated within the context of being immigrants in Norway.

Abstract:
Because I am a specialist on Cypriot literature, in particular Turkish- Cypriot literature, this has direct implications for the study of Turkish and Greek language literatures, as well as European minor literatures (as defined by Deleuze and Guattari: 1994). Due to the positionality of the Turkish and Greek literary traditions vis-a-vis European literary establishments, and that of Cypriot literature within the Turkish and Greek literary canons, I have studied literary polysystems theory (especially Even-Zohar: 1978 and 1979) and the relations between central and peripheral literatures. One of the central contributions of my work and research is to study the Turkish and Greek languages and literary traditions in the context and framework of 'contact languages' (Weinreich: 1953), in other words, as linguistic-cultural forms which have developed under co-habitation and mutual influence. I also studied 'othering, processes in Greek, Turkish, Greek-Cypriot and Turkish-Cypriot literary traditions within the broader context of orientalism and Eurocentricism in the system of European literatures. My work has brought to the fore the plurality of traditions within the domain of Turkish literature as well as the ancient and ongoing multilingual literary traditions of Cyprus. On the one hand, it enabled the study of different traditions within the same linguistic domain (Turkish) to be studied through different categories, such as Turkish literature and Turkish-Cypriot literature. On the other hand, it also allowed for the study of different language literatures under the same roof, such as the Greek, Turkish, and English language literatures of Cyprus as Cypriot literature.

Erdogu, Burcin. "Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures in Turkish Thrace." Thesis, Durham University, 2001. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/3994/.

Full text
Abstract:
The subject of this thesis are the Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures in Turkish Thrace. Turkish Thrace acts as a land bridge between the Balkans and Anatolia. Along this land bridge it might be expected that there has been a transfer of ideas, exchange and movement of objects between two regions. Intensive survey in a selected part of Turkish Thrace - the Edime region - and systematic field collection techniques on selected sites were conducted. Intensive surveys in the Edime region have provided important evidence relating to past land use and settlement systems. On the basis of examination settlements and artefacts, local Neolithic and Chalcolithic cultures closely related to the Balkan cultures were defined. One of the research problems in Turkish Thrace is the apparent dramatic decrease in population in the late Chalcolithic period. All late Chalcolithic sites are small relative to those of other Chalcolithic cultures in the Balkans. There are as yet no geographical studies, soil analysis or pollen diagrams from Turkish Thrace. However, it seems most likely that the depopulation of Turkish Thrace can be explained by a combination of environmental changes, soil changes or exchange network collapse. In Neolithic and Chalcolithic period, some of the Anatolian material looks similar to those of the Balkans. Similarities may be explained by the interaction sphere model. An interaction sphere is defined as an information or item exchange system through which aspects of culture are transferred and which ultimately produces regional similarities. Metabasite stone axes from the Şarköy axe factories were found in the Early Neolithic levels of Hoca Çeşme as well as on settlements in the Edime region. Honey flint of Northeast Bulgaria and Aegean Spondylus were found in the Neolithic and Chalcolithic settlements of Turkish Thrace. These examples begin to introduce the nature of the exchange network in Turkish Thrace.

Amjad, Naumana. "Role of moral beliefs in aggression : an investigation across two cultures." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2006. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/2341/.

Full text
Abstract:
The overarching aim of this thesis was to contribute to the understanding of specific moral-cognitive processes and mechanisms and their association with aggressive behaviour across age groups and across two cultures. A review of the literature identified the key questions for present research. There is extensive evidence that the normative acceptability of aggression is associated with aggressive behaviour. However the acceptability for retaliation in specific situations and discernment between justified and unjustified retaliation has not been thoroughly researched. Secondly the role of self-censure and self-reflection 'in the regulation of aggressive behaviour needs to be examined further. Finally hostility between groups and its association with beliefs has not been investigated in Muslim samples. Eight empirical studies addressed these specific questions. Study one investigated the component structure of Normative Beliefs about aggression Scale using samples from Pakistan and the UK. Beliefs about equal retaliation, excessive retaliation and beliefs about general aggression were found to be distinct components, were endorsed differentially and had different level of association with aggressive behaviour across both countries. Study two established the discriminant validity of this distinction by comparing a group of violent adolescents with a matched group of non-violent adolescents on acceptability of these types of retaliation. Study 3 examined the association of self-censure with aggressive behaviour and normative beliefs about aggression and retaliation. Self-censure was negatively associated with aggressive behaviour as well as with beliefs indicating that higher the endorsement of aggression, lower would be the expected self-censure as a result of aggression. Study four using retrospective accounts of real aggressive episodes found that private self-consciousness predicted self-censure as well as thinking about one's own aggressive actions. Both thinking and self-censure were negatively associated with frequency of aggressive acts. The beliefs about direct and indirect aggression among Pakistani adolescents were tested in Study five and a reliable measure was developed and found to have convergent validity. Study six examined moral reasoning among children and explored at a preliminary level a possible intervention for changing beliefs about victimization in school. Study seven and eight extended investigation of beliefs to intergroup context (anti-Semitic beliefs) and found that extreme beliefs were related to hostile intentions. An educational intervention was carried out which showed that beliefs could be influenced through creating empathy and stressing intergroup similarity.

Abstract:
This thesis reports a mixed method case study of Turkish teachers’ and trainee teachers’ beliefs and attitudes regarding aspects of moral education and moral psychology, and the development of these beliefs and attitudes through teacher training and experience. Both internationally and in Turkey it is generally agreed that teachers are not well enough equipped to carry out moral education. This thesis explores a philosophical argument for why understanding the psychology of moral development could be valuable for teachers in informing their engagement with explicit and implicit moral education. A cross-sectional sample of participants was investigated using a mix of quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyse beliefs and attitudes relevant to moral education. The results indicate that Turkish teachers and trainee teachers are not equipped with the relevant set of knowledge and skills to consciously foster students’ moral development; neither teacher training nor teaching experience appear to influence the teachers’ belief development. However, teachers and trainee teachers are willing and interested both to engage with moral education, and to receive training relevant to conducting moral education. Key findings regarding teachers’ beliefs and attitudes concerning conducting moral education include an inclination towards providing pupils with a scaffold to foster moral development, rather than dogmatic imposition of a certain set of values and virtues; and an inclination towards creating a pluralistic moral environment in the school that fosters compassion and cooperation. Based on the understandings gained from the reviewed literature and analysed data, recommendations are made regarding how to improve ITE programmes with respect to preparing teachers to engage with moral education.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore Turkish kindergarten early career stage teachers’ self-efficacy beliefs towards technology and their technology integration practices in their classrooms by answering: What are self-efficacy beliefs of Turkish kindergarten early career stage teachers towards technology? How do Turkish kindergarten early career teachers integrate technology into their classrooms’ instructions? The study was designed as a qualitative multiple case study and guided by Bandura’s (1986) social cognitive theory and Mishra and Koehler’s (2006) TPACK conceptual framework. I conducted this study in Istanbul, where is the most crowded and metropolitan city in Turkey. The schools were chosen by the Ministry of National Education (MoNE) after the permissions were received from IRB and MoNE, and the participants were assigned by the directors of schools based on research criteria. Participants were chosen purposefully, and there were four female kindergarten teachers in their early career stages, which were identified based on Steffy, Wolfe, Pasch and Enz (2000)’ stages: novice teacher and apprentice teacher, teaching five-year-old students at technologically well-equipped classrooms, and who had a bachelor’s degree in preschool teaching. Data was collected from three sessions of semi-structured interviews and two sessions of observation based on TIM-O. Data was coded and analyzed based on Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) to make sense teachers’ technology self-efficacy beliefs towards technology and Technology Integration Matrix (TIM)’s to understand their technology practice into classroom instructions.

Abstract:
Karmic beliefs, centered on the notion of ethical causation within and across lifetimes, appear in religious traditions and spiritual movements around the world, yet they remain an unexplored topic in psychology. I developed and validated a 16-item measure of belief in karma, and used this measure to assess the cultural distribution, cognitive content, and correlates of karmic beliefs among participants from culturally and religiously diverse backgrounds, including Canadian students (Sample 1: N = 3193, Sample 2: N = 3072) and broad national samples of adults from Canada (N = 1000) and India (N = 1006). Belief in karma showed predictable variation based on participant’s cultural (e.g., Indian) and religious (e.g., Hindu and Buddhist) background, but was also surprisingly common among people from cultural groups with no tradition of karmic beliefs (e.g., nonreligious or Christian Canadians). I demonstrate how karmic beliefs are related to, but distinct from, conceptually-similar beliefs, including belief in a just world and belief in a moralizing god. Finally, I provide preliminary evidence of intuitive conceptions of karma, and investigate how karma is related to self-reported prosocial behaviour and moral judgments. Karma is a form of supernatural justice belief, endorsed by many people from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds that lies at the intersection between beliefs about justice and morality, and beliefs about supernatural forces that shape the course of life’s events.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Psychology, Department of<br>Graduate

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter Dinc and Uztemur aim to adapt the Beliefs About History Questionnaire (BHQ) developed by Maggioni into Turkish culture and test its validity and reliability. The study group consists of 264 student social studies teachers selected by simple random sampling method. To determine the construct validity of the 22-item scale, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed respectively. Although the results revealed that the three-dimensional structure was supported in Turkish culture, it was seen that the five items in the original scale were not included in the Turkish version. Although the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficients for the sub-dimensions are not high, they are at an acceptable level. Considering that there is not any study assessing epistemic beliefs in the field of history in the Turkish context, it is recommended that further research be conducted by expanding the results of this adaptation study.

Abstract:
AbstractTo further elaborate on the concept of hope outlined in Chap. 2, the purpose of this contribution is to investigate the role of basic beliefs and worldviews in sustaining the general perception of hope in different cultures. We begin by introducing the theoretical concepts about the nature of basic beliefs and worldviews, especially with regard to a future-oriented thinking. Employing the Perceived Hope Scale, the Dispositional Hope Scale, the Assumptive Worldviews, and several variables of subjective and psychological well-being, we investigate the levels and predictors of hope in six distinct samples of the Hope Barometer 2017 (N = 6548). Our findings support the notion of hope as a multidimensional phenomenon with certain universal features across cultures while recognizing that people in different cultures experience hope based on specific worldviews, independently from the nation’s economic wealth.

Maigre, Marie-Elisabeth. "THE INFLUENCE OF THE GÜLEN MOVEMENT IN THE EMERGENCE OF A TURKISH CULTURAL THIRD WAY." In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/mxux7290.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper aims to understand the role of Fethullah Gülen’s movement in the emergence of the new Islamic culture in Turkey. Among the Islamic dynamics that emerged in the 80s, the movement based on Gülen’s ideas is unique not in that it spread through an intellectual, healthcare and media network – this is true of other Sufi communities – but in its develop- ment of an effective educational programme now comprising more than 300 schools around the world. In the 1990s, this movement favoured a ‘Turkish Islam’ encompassing the principles of de- mocracy and moderation, and so rejected the radical ideals of Necmettin Erbakan’s Refah party. After the 1997 ‘soft coup’ removed the Erbakan government, pro-Islamic businesspeo- ple became more disinclined to support a party that could threaten their business interests. A reformist branch led by Istanbul mayor, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, began to adopt the principles of democracy and religious freedom as part of a new political argument, and eventually won the general elections of November 2002. It seems that three actors – the Islamist reformists, the businessmen, and Gülen’s followers – converged around the common concepts of Turkish Islam, Conservative Democracy, and Business to re-elaborate the cultural content of the Islamic movement with a more Western- democratic and capitalist orientation. The phrase ‘Islam de marché’, coined by Patrick Haenni, refers to the culture, born of globalisation, in which business success is efficiently used to translate thinking or religious beliefs into something practical and derive some cul- tural influence from association with the state. Fethullah Gülen, whose movement is a paradigm of these new approaches, could be consid- ered a far-sighted visionary since he anticipated the need for Turkish people, whether secular or Islamist, to adapt to the present times, and the strong potential of globalisation to diffuse his vision of Islam.

Full text
Abstract:
Mevlânâ was born on September 30, 1207, in the city of Balkh, one of the old Turkish cultural centers, today within the borders of Afghanistan. His real name is Muhammed Celâleddin. His grandfather, Hüseyin Hatibî, was one of the great scholars of his time. His father, Bahâeddin Veled, was known as "Sultânü'l Ulemâ" (Sultân of Scholars). Sultânü'l Ulemâ, an honest person who did not hesitate to speak to anyone, would say everything he knew right in his lessons and sermons without knowing any boundaries. Language is the symbol of being human. Language, which is the necessity of being human, the development of thought and emotion, indispensable of respect and love, is a legacy that nations inherited from the past to the present and the future. It is a known fact that individuals speaking the same language have the same background, culture and values, that is, a common destiny. Our expressions clearly carry the values, norms and social control elements, beliefs and traditions of our nation and play an important role in transferring the above-listed ones to future generations with the help of the language they are a part of. Mevlana has a very important place in the history of Turkish literature. In our study, there will be a language study on volume I based on the book "All Stories in Mesnevi" prepared by Mehmet Zeren. Based on the auxiliary verbs in the stories in the book, the idioms in the sentence will be determined. The idioms determined in the work, the number of lines and the number of pages will be determined. How often the author has used idiomatic word groups and will evaluate the meaning he adds to the sentence. Key words: Mevlana, Mesnevi, İdiom, Language Study

Rəhimli, Gunel. "Şah İsmayıl Xətainin yaradıcılığında Qızılbaş ideologiyasının izləri". У 1st International Shah Ismail Khatai Symposium. Namiq Musalı, 2024. https://doi.org/10.59402/ees02202413.

Full text
Abstract:
In this article, the “Divan” of Shah Ismail Khatai, which collects his poems, is analyzed as a historical source for studying the Qizilbash ideology, and the Sufi - mystical perspectives of the Qizilbash ideology are explored based on various sources. The Safaviye Order, founded by Sheikh Safi al-Din Ishaq in Ardabil in 1300, initially emerged as a Sufi order. Over time, the order shifted its religious orientation, which led to the formation of the Qizilbash ideology. Under this ideology, the Safaviye Order became involved in political processes, eventually leading to the creation of the Safavid state, one of the powerful states in the medieval East. Based on our research, and looking at Shah Ismail Khatai’s literary work, we can assert that Qizilbashism is a Turkish cultural movement that embraced the concept of wahdat al-wujud (the unity of existence), infused with Sufi understanding, Islamic mysticism, and strong love for the Ahl al-Bayt. It represents a unique social-political movement. This ideology clearly reflects the influence of Sufi-mystical ideas, ancient Turkish beliefs and traditions, and elements of Shi’ism. Furthermore, the article notes that the Alevi communities living in Anatolia, as well as the Alialli communities in Azerbaijan and certain regions of Iran, are contemporary followers of the Qizilbash ideology. These communities continue to preserve the Sufi-influenced love for the Ahl al-Bayt that forms the core of the Qizilbash ideology in their religious practices and way of life. Despite the changing historical and political conditions, these societies have remained loyal to the Qizilbash ideology and have maintained it up to the present day. As a result, the influence of the Qizilbash ideology continues to be significant not only in medieval Eastern history but also in the modern era.

Full text
Abstract:
Anthroponymy mirrors faithfully the features and core values of people considered as individuals or as ethnic groups sharing common traits. Whether we refer to a religious name chosen for one’s child according to one’s personal beliefs, a foreign, trendy name, or an unusual name which ensures the bearer is easily distinguished, all anthroponyms convey a message. Depending on people’s particular way of perceiving integration in a foreign culture, some may choose to give their children names that are specific to their native culture to perpetuate their tradition; others may wish not to reveal their migrant background by naming their offspring in a way that is characteristic to the host culture. The present approach is both synchronic and diachronic. It follows naming practices in contemporary multicultural communities, at the same time illustrating how names are culturally embedded. The grounds for this perspective are provided by the analysis of a wide corpus of anthroponyms existing in sayings and proverbs pertaining to three different languages and cultures: Romanian, English and Italian.

In Fifth International Conference on Higher Education Advances. Universitat Politècnica València, 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/head19.2019.9453.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper discusses the results of a qualitative narrative study that focuses on academics´ professional identity and teaching practice at the university during the structural reform at Tallinn University, Estonia. The aim of the research is to understand how professional identity is formed in relation to the development of teaching practice in the frame of interdisciplinary projects introduced as an innovation at the university. The central research question is: How does the continuously changing university context, suggested teaching approaches and innovative projects affect professional identity, beliefs, and teaching practice of academics? The empirical data consists of 48 narrative interviews with academics from different study fields. The empirical data was analyzed using qualitative content analysis with narrative coding. The presented narratives indicate that on the institutional level the entrepreneurial cultures are more visible than collegial cultures. On the individual level there are slow, but meaningful changes in teaching practices, as well as beliefs, understandings and professional identities of academics.

"Workplace Learning Cultures, Learning Potential and Important Work Outcomes among Managerial Employees in Five-Star Turkish Hotels." In International Conference on Eurasian Economies. Eurasian Economists Association, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.36880/c06.01344.

Full text
Abstract:
This research investigated the relationship of perceived workplace learning culture, workplace learning potential, perceived employability, feelings of psychological empowerment, important work outcomes, and self-reported assessments of service quality among supervisors and managers in five star hotels in Turkey. Data were collected from 205 managers, an eighty-nine percent response rate, from twelve hotels, using anonymously completed questionnaires. Work outcomes included job satisfaction, perceptions of service quality and intent to quit. Managerial Self-efficacy was significantly related to perceptions of workplace learning culture, opportunities for learning, employability and all other work outcomes. In addition, stronger workplace learning cultures and more opportunities for learning also had positive effects of several work outcomes. &#x0D; The present research has limitations which should be noted to better assess the results. First, all data were collected using self-report questionnaires with the possibility of response set tendencies and common method biases. Second, all data were collected at one point in time making it challenging to address issues of causality. Third, although the sample was relatively large, all respondents came from high quality properties in only one large city in Turkey (Istanbul), thus the extent to which our findings would apply to hotels in other regions or hotels of lower quality is indeterminate. &#x0D; Practical implications include training supervisors on ways to develop and support a workplace learning culture, training all employees on the benefits of personal efficacy and ways to increase it, and training employees on the benefits of their own learning and ways to enhance this.

Full text
Abstract:
The current study examines Theory of Mind (ToM) development in English-speaking ethnically Chinese 3- to 6-year-old children raised in Singapore, a country influenced by both eastern and western cultures. All tasks were administered in English. Study 1 investigated the vertical development of ToM in 3- to 6-year-olds (N = 65) with five tasks, including diverse desires, diverse beliefs, knowledge access, content false-belief, and explicit false-belief tasks. Results revealed that like English-speaking preschoolers growing up in the West, English-speaking Chinese Singaporean preschoolers develop the understanding of diverse desires and diverse beliefs earlier than the understanding of knowledge access and false beliefs; however, contrary to previous findings in both the West and East, even 5-year-olds had not fully developed the understanding of false beliefs. Study 2 specifically examined the understanding of beliefs through the appearance-reality, deceptive pointing, false belief, and non-mental states control tasks. Results (N = 127) showed that in terms of the development of beliefs, English-speaking Chinese Singaporean preschoolers develop the understanding of the difference between appearance and reality earlier than deception, the understanding of false beliefs regarding location and content. In addition, Study 2 replicated the findings of Study 1 by showing that even 5 year old English-speaking Chinese Singaporean preschoolers had not fully developed the understanding of false beliefs. Together, these results suggest that the developmental pattern of ToM in English-speaking Chinese Singaporean children is unique, possibly reflecting a mix of East and West, and their unique linguistic experience.

Full text
Abstract:
Whether it adopts a right- or left-wing ideology or it is embraced as a belief or a set of ideals, and no matter the strategy or tactics, populism, in the final analysis, is a way of seizing power, and differences between the different strands carry significant repercussions. Many diverse economic, political, and cultural factors have been put forward to explain the rise of populism. One leader who has drawn increasing attention on the crest of the most recent wave of populism is Turkey’s incumbent president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. After a period of progressive and democratic leadership through to 2007, Erdoğan’s fundamental beliefs and personality surfaced, and the entire process was reversed, with devastating consequences for Turkey. This article argues that Erdoğan’s Islamist–nationalist populism has been one of the primary triggers of Turkey’s current political and economic meltdown. Moreover, his populist rhetoric has weakened Turkey’s already fragile autonomous institutions and paved the way for reform reversals and incoherent economic policy. Taken together, Erdoğanism has brought a woeful deterioration in macroeconomic indicators, including rampant inflation, mounting national debt, massive unemployment, rising poverty, and a profound currency shock.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Workplace bullying is a severe and widespread occupational problem that negatively affects individuals, organizations, and societies. Studies have shown that national culture influences the way bullying is understood and experienced across different countries. However, our understanding of the cross-cultural variations in workplace bullying is still lacking. This study aimed to compare nurses’ experiences of workplace bullying in two culturally distinct countries: Turkey and Sweden. Methods: Using a qualitative design, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nurses (21 Turkish, 16 Swedish) who identified themselves as targets and/or bystanders of workplace bullying. Data were collected during 2019/2020 and analyzed using the deductive content analysis method. Results: There were many similarities between the Turkish and Swedish nurses in their reports of the most common types, antecedents, effects of, and target responses to workplace bullying. Differences were observed between countries concerning the source of bullying and in bystander responses. Conclusion: The findings emphasize that workplace bullying is a serious problem in the nursing profession across cultures and attention should be paid to cultural factors in understanding the varying bullying-related experiences of nurses. Healthcare organizations should therefore consider developing tailor-made interventions that fit their local cultural contexts to deal with workplace bullying in a more effective way.

Zea, Phoebe. Touched Landscapes: Americans’ changing perceptions and interactions with the West. Montana State University, 2022. https://doi.org/10.15788/s2022.curio3.

Full text
Abstract:
In 1854, the United States and Mexico finalized the Gadsden Purchase, in which the U.S. purchased a 29,670 square mile portion of Mexico which later became Arizona and New Mexico—today’s “Southwest.” Before and since then, the Southwest has undergone major changes in landscape, demographics of its population, culture, beliefs and land uses. Phoebe Zea’s Touched Landscapes explores the multitudes of and reasons for such changes within this American region. The project also explores the people who reside within the Southwest, and their shifting beliefs about the land, as well as the ways in which they have in the past, and continue to, interact with and utilize the vast landscapes of Arizona and New Mexico. Touched Landscapes focuses on Southwesterners’, as well as generalized Americans’, sense of ‘place’ within the given landscape, and how interactions with various landscapes can affect our sense of belonging to the land. The photographs in this project seek to emphasize the uses of the landscape, the people within, and the diversity of cultures and narratives shared among the region.

Full text
Abstract:
Unpaid Care and Domestic Work (UCDW) and Paid Domestic Work (PDW) are essential to societal wellbeing. However, these activities often carry negative perceptions, attitudes and beliefs when performed by men and boys. As a result, women and girls typically shoulder the primary responsibility for performing UCDW. Similarly, society often undervalues PDW by perceiving it as low-skilled work, as demonstrated through low remuneration and unfair employment practices. The narratives many cultures embrace concerning UCDW and PDW partly explain why these essential activities frequently fall on women and girls, and why society often undervalues PDW. This report documents a collaborative research project between Busara Center for Behavioral Economics and Oxfam to investigate existing narratives on UCDW and PDW in Kenya, and test potentially transformative narratives that could shift societal attitudes.

Full text
Abstract:
This case study documents experiences from a 10-year project working with a remote island community along the Furo Grande tributary, just off the coast of Belem in the Amazonian region of Brazil. The residents living along Furo Grande experience extreme poverty and social marginalisation, and mainly use latrines which empty directly into the river, or defecate in the forest, which is dangerous particularly for women and girls at night. Successful programme interventions included community engagement and collaborative processes to build trust and relationships with the people, and enable development of designs that respected local cultures, beliefs and routines of the traditional population. Adaptations included development of ecological toilets and rainwater harvesting systems, redesigning the structure to ensure suitability for high tides and flooding, changes to materials, for example the type of wood to prevent rotting, and adaptations to the construction process to utilise local building techniques. Ongoing monitoring enabled challenges to be identified and rectified, and provision of support to communities to strengthen understanding on how to maintain the new facilities.
