(Istanbul University, 2025) Coşkun, Murat; Tanır, Yaşar; Karayağmurlu, Ali; Karadoğan, Zeynep Nur; Özdemir, Yahya Esad; Bulut, Ömer Faruk; Selman Adıyaman, Saliha Büşra; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Objective: To examine how COVID-19 affected obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) symptom trajectories in children and adolescents across pre-, during-, and post-pandemic periods over one year. Materials and Methods: Thirty-six youth with a prior diagnosis of OCD (Mage=13.5 years, SD=2.9) completed the Children’s Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (CY-BOCS) and the Clinical Global Impression-Severity (CGI-S) scale at three time points: before the pandemic, during the pandemic, and after the pandemic. Nonparametric repeated-measures tests (Friedman) with DunnBonferroni post hoc contrasts evaluated the change over time. Results: Time effects were significant for global severity (CGIS: χ²(2)=7.35, p=0.025) and CY-BOCS total (χ²(2)=6.44, p=0.040), with descriptively highest total symptoms during the pandemic (18.66±6.73) versus pre-pandemic (14.55±5.20; p=0.08) and postpandemic (12.80±8.00; p=0.17); pairwise contrasts for totals were not significant. Obsessions showed a significant during-to-post reduction (χ²(2)=9.27, p=0.010; Dunn-Bonferroni p=0.047), with a marginal pre-to-during increase (p=0.055). Compulsion had a significant effect (χ²(2)=6.33, p=0.042), but post hoc comparisons were not significant.
Beyond borders: Navigating trauma, identity, and resistance in the Palestinian diaspora
(An-Najah National University, 2025) Nazir, Thseen; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Background: Second and third-generation Palestinians living in the diaspora face profound psychological challenges, mainly as they are unable to visit their ancestral homeland. Witnessing ongoing conflict from abroad exacerbates collective trauma and emotional distress, while many Palestinians maintain a connection to their heritage through religious faith, cultural practices, and resistance efforts. Objectives: This study explores the psychological experiences of second and third-generation Palestinian diaspora, focusing on the challenges they face, their coping mechanisms, and strategies for maintaining cultural identity and contributing to the Palestinian cause. Methods: A qualitative approach was employed, with semi-structured interviews conducted among 14 Palestinian students residing in Turkey. These participants, who have never been to Palestine, were purposefully sampled. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes regarding their psychological challenges, coping strategies, identity preservation, and resistance efforts. Results: Four major themes emerged: Psychological challenges, including collective trauma, helplessness, and guilt; Coping mechanisms, where religious faith provided emotional resilience; Sustaining Palestinian identity, achieved through family narratives and cultural traditions; and Resistance from abroad, with participants engaging in digital activism and community efforts to support the Palestinian cause and raise global awareness. Conclusion: Despite significant psychological challenges, participants demonstrate resilience through faith, cultural preservation, and activism. These strategies not only help them cope with the emotional toll of displacement but also enable them to contribute to the Palestinian struggle from abroad. The study underscores the role of cultural and religious practices in maintaining psychological well-being and emphasizes the importance of transnational activism within the Palestinian diaspora.
Hedonistic pursuits and well-being: A retrospective analysis of expectations and reality
(Elite Scientific Publications, 2024) Salahuddin, Taseer; Vergil, Hasan; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
This paper investigates the relationship between hedonic pursuits and their impact on individuals' long-term happiness and well-being. While traditional views in logical positivism and conventional economics have emphasized the hedonic pursuit of happiness, it is essential to assess the contemporary prevalence of hedonism, the potential moral consequences of this focus, and its effects on individual well-being. This study examines the validity of the claim that prioritizing hedonic pursuits is the goal of life, contributing to discussions on human flourishing and genuine happiness. Employing a retrospective analysis approach, the research gathers data through interviews to capture both current assumptions and real feelings. The findings reveal that, although hedonic behaviors provide temporary satisfaction, they do not significantly enhance sustained happiness levels. In contrast, spirituality and eudemonic values-such as kindness, compassion, care for others, sharing, forgiveness, and gratitude-emerge as key drivers of long-term happiness among participants. This research underscores the importance of engaging in meaningful, purpose-driven eudemonic activities to enhance overall well-being, suggesting a shift away from purely hedonic pursuits toward a more balanced approach to happiness.
A critical approach to debt financing in a Muslim Society: The case of Qatar
(Dicle Üniversitesi, 2025) Başak, Mehmet Ali; Khateeb, Saqib H.
A debt-based society continuously encourages people to go into debt, even through legal means, and this leads to a series of problems.. Though Shariah scholars emphasize the Islamic legacy of lending a helping hand, they overlook society's excessive dependence on debt and its consequences. This paper discusses the harms of debt in Muslim societies based on content analysis of four fatwas issued for Islamic finance institutions. First, the types of debt in Islamic Banking are explained. Then, four fatwas are analyzed regarding mortgage and credit card debt. The paper argues these fatwas also overlook global capitalism, which worsens debt burdens on disadvantaged populations. It is followed by highlighting environmental issues and consumerism. Next, the necessity of preventing excessive debt dependence in Muslim communities is discussed with the example of Qatari society. The research concludes that the examined fatwas fail to consider debt’s societal impact, including its negative effect on mental health and contribution to a consumerist culture.
The impact of foreign employees in aviation on airline objectives and passenger segments
(İstanbul Ticaret Üniversitesi, 2025) Faris, Owaim; Arslan, Hüseyin
In today’s competitive global landscape, industries leverage their unique advantages to adapt and thrive. The aviation sector exemplifies this transformation, evolving beyond basic transportation to create customer-centric brands that build loyalty based on values, preferences, and lifestyles. This study investigates how foreign employees adopt airline goals and their impact on diverse passenger segments with varying cultural and linguistic backgrounds. Using the PRISMA framework, 54 publications were reviewed, and 16 relevant studies were selected for detailed analysis. Findings reveal that foreign employees significantly contribute to innovation, enhanced customer service, and organizational adaptability. However, challenges such as language barriers and cultural misunderstandings persist. By integrating multilingualism, diverse cuisines, and cultural symbols into their services, airlines can improve passenger satisfaction and loyalty. This study uniquely integrates the strategic objectives of airlines with the broader impacts of foreign employees on both company dynamics and passenger experiences, providing a comprehensive perspective not addressed in prior research. It highlights the critical role of embracing workforce diversity to gain a competitive edge in the global market.
