Link between digital technologies adoption and sustainability performance: Supply chain traceability/resilience or circular economy practices
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Duman Altan, Aylin; Beyca, Ömer Faruk; Zaim, Selim; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Technological progress and digitalization have ushered in significant transformations in business strategies. At present, research is scarcely focused on the influence of the adoption of digital technologies (DTs) on establishing comprehensive relationships within the context of a circular economy (CE), and the supply chain (SC) framework to contribute to the Resource-Based View (RBV) theory. This study utilizes survey data collected from 235 manufacturing practitioners employed by Turkish manufacturing enterprises to explore a model elucidating the relationship between DTs adoption and sustainability performance (SP) through supply chain traceability (SCT), supply chain resilience (SCR), and circular economy practices (CEPs), based on 10R strategies. Through this linkage, this research accentuates that the exclusive integration of CEPs with digital technology solutions is insufficient for industrial enterprises to attain their long-term sustainability goals. It underscores the necessity of ensuring SCT and/or SCR in this context.
Revisiting post-Islamism a decade after the Arab Spring
(University of Belgrade - Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, 2024) Affan, Mohammad; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü
The Arab Spring uprisings marked a watershed moment in regional politics, significantly impacting Islamist movements in terms of strategies, ideologies, and organizational structures. Accordingly, this paper examines whether these dramatic events strengthened or weakened the post-Islamist evolution of traditional political Islam movements, focusing on the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood (E-MB) and the Tunisian Ennahda Movement Party (EMP) as case studies. The proposed hypothesis is that the Arab Spring has variably influenced Islamists. In Egypt, it initially weakened the post-Islamist turn of the E-MB. However, owing to the 2013 coup and subsequent repression, the E-MB was politically excluded and weakened, creating a vacuum that was filled by various forms of less political or non-ideological forms of Islamic activism. The Tunisian Islamists had a different story. The Arab Spring seems to have strengthened their transition to post-Islamism. In its tenth conference, the EMP declared its exit from political Islam, adopting the new concept of Muslim Democracy. Even after the presidential takeover in July 2021, which resulted in the political exclusion of the EMP, the Work and Achievement party that defected from it maintained clear post-Islamist features.
Against the odds: Explaining mainstream Montenegrin parties domination of Bosniak and Albanian minority representation in postcommunist Montenegro
(Cambridge University Press, 2024) Lika, Idlir; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü
The Bosniak and Albanian minorities in postcommunist Montenegro have supported and been represented by mainstream Montenegrin parties more than by their ethnic parties. This stands in striking contrast to the situation in neighboring Serbia and North Macedonia where the Bosniak and Albanian minorities vote almost exclusively for their ethnic parties. The Montenegrin case stands out as deviant also when one considers a number of extant explanations, all of which would predict a different outcome. Montenegrin Bosniaks and Albanians constitute two native, sizeable and geographically concentrated minority groups inhabiting a country with an institutional framework and several special electoral arrangements favoring minority parties. Drawing on original data on Bosniak and Albanian legislators elected across 12 parliamentary elections in Montenegro (1990-2023), municipality and country-level parliamentary election results and 12 semi-structured elite interviews, I argue that what explains the deviance in the Montenegrin case is the peculiar nature of Montenegrin identity, specifically the fact that it does not pit the majority against minority, but rather it pits the Montenegrin and Serbian components of the Orthodox majority against each other and in such a context the non-Orthodox minorities become critical political allies of the Montenegrin bloc against the Serbian one.
An integrated expert recommender system approach to environmental service priorities in renewable energy
(IOP Publishing, 2024) Yüksel, Serhat; Dinçer, Hasan; Hacıoğlu, Ümit; An, Jaehyung; Mikhaylov, Alexey; Karpyn, Zuleima; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
The purpose of this study is to analyze the investment success of renewable energy generation projects design. A novel model has been constructed for this purpose. At the first stage, collaborative filtering methodology is taken into consideration to complete missing evaluations. After that, M-SWARA based on QUSFSs with golden cut is used to compute the weights of these factors. Finally, the components of the service design are ranked by TOPSIS approach. The main contribution of the paper is that a new methodology (M-SWARA) has been created in this study by making improvements to SWARA. With the help of this new model, causal directions between the indicators can also be examined. Similarly, collaborative filtering methodology is taken into consideration to complete missing evaluations. In this process, the decision makers are allowed to leave the questions they wanted blank. This situation is considered as the superiority of the proposed model compared to many previous models in the literature. The findings indicate that cost is the most significant factor for the success of renewable energy investments because it gets the highest weight (.261). The ranking results also demonstrate that product is the most essential component of the service design of renewable energy investments. Therefore, solving the high-cost problem is of vital importance to increase these investments. First, renewable energy companies can reduce costs with more effective financial management. To carry out this process effectively, a finance department consisting of qualified personnel is needed. Thanks to this team, current situations in the financial markets will be better followed and this will play an important role in reducing costs.
Performance evaluation of sustainable energy alternatives to obtain efficient hybrid energy investments
(Vilnius Gediminas Technical University, 2024) Dinçer, Hasan; Yüksel, Serhat; Hacıoğlu, Ümit; Gherghina, Ştefan Cristian; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study evaluates the synergy of coalition for hybrid renewable energy (RWB) system alternatives. In this context, the alternative sources of hybrid RWB system are examined to illustrate the impact-relation directions among them with multi SWARA based on q-ROFs and golden cut. Next, the performances of renewable alternatives are measured in terms of the synergy of coalition with game theory and Shapley value. It is concluded that solar energy is the most suitable RWB alternative for synergy to increase efficiency in investments. However, biomass does not have a significant influence on providing synergy in energy investments. Therefore, solar energy should be prioritized for hybrid energy investments. Especially with the effect of technological developments, the efficiency of solar energy investments increases significantly. Thus, solar energy investments have become quite suitable for increasing the synergy in hybrid energy projects. Furthermore, necessary research should be conducted to make biomass energy more efficient.
UNIDROIT factoring model law: Critiques and possible effects
(Universidade Portucalense, 2024) Kaya, Barış; Hukuk Fakültesi, Hukuk Bölümü
Factoring fulfills an important function globally in financing and accessing credit for businesses, companies and entrepreneurs of all sizes, especially small and medium-sized businesses. The UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law was prepared within a three-year period as a result of the work initiated by UNIDROIT upon the recommendation of the World Bank due to reasons such as the inadequacy of the existing international legislation for countries to create a functional factoring legislation and the need to create global rules and legislation specific to factoring. The UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law for which the Guide to Enactment has not yet been prepared, contains some challenging rules. During the preparation of the UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law, other relevant legal regulations were also used and compliance with them was observed. In this study, the UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law, which is a very new legislation, has been criticized under basic section headings and its weaknesses and strengths have been examined. While doing this, an answer is sought to the question of whether the UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law could meet the expectations. Additionally, its possible effects are discussed. It has been concluded that the UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law contains provisions that may cause problems and confusion in practice especially under the headings of the scope of receivables subject to transfer, notification and registration system, priority rights, but in general it should be welcomed as an exemplary law. It is too early to answer the question of whether the UNIDROIT Factoring Model Law will be successful internationally, that is, to what extent it will be adopted by countries. The Guide to Enactment to be prepared in this process will also be effective.
The politics of emotions, bio-political border practices and the question of (in)security on the Turkish political territorial borders
(Routledge, 2024) Aras, Ramazan; Kalmoy, Abdirashid Diriye; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Sosyoloji Bölümü
This paper conceptually and analytically delineates the operationand employment of discourses and the political emotions of fearand anxiety in the making, conception, and cartographicimagination of the contours of modern Turkey’s politicalterritorial boundaries. This study posits that the emergence andformation of the Turkish political territorial borders after thetraumatic and violent experience of the cataclysmic shrinking,collapse and disintegration of the Ottoman Empire continue toinfluence discourses, emotions, practices and policies of bordersecurity and policing. Borders and borderlands are not only siteswhere the state performs, exercises and displays its sovereign willand power in protecting national security, dignity, pride andhonor, but also sources and harbingers of fears, anxieties andontological (in)securities. In the context of the highly publicizedimmigration influx of Syrians, Iraqis, Afghanis and others intoTurkey, this paper argues that discourses and emotions of fear,anxiety and hate regained new currency and have becomeconsequential in the state’s eliciting of consent from the massesin instituting border walls, fences and harsh border policingpractices and policies on the borderlands and in cities across thecountry.
Transformative learning: Flipped classroom and its impact on writing skill and critical thinking level
(International Council for Open and Distance Education, 2024) Alpat, Muhammet Furkan; Görgülü, Emrah; Rektörlük, Yabancı Diller Okulu
The study sought to ascertain if critical thinking instruction delivered via the Flipped Classroom may improve students’ EFL writing skills. In addition to determining if the present instructional model influences students’ views of critical thinking and attitudes toward Flipped Learning integration, another goal is to determine whether students’ attitudes about Flipped Learning integration change. Students at the School of Languages at the upper-intermediate level took part in a reading and writing course to enhance their writing abilities. It was an experimental study with two groups consisting of an experimental group and a control group that each got training from the researcher for six weeks, and each group included 15 students. A variety of qualitative and quantitative data collection tools were used for this study, with the California critical thinking level inventory survey used in the first phase of the study, and critical thinking interviews used in the latter stage of the flipping classroom survey. Analyzing students’ responses to the California Critical Thinking Level Inventory found that the experimental group outperformed the control group, indicating a substantial boost in critical thinking abilities in those who took part in the experiment. The findings of the Flipped Classroom questionnaire show that students have a significant influence on the new teaching model in terms of their opinions regarding it.
A re-classification of al-Ījī’s Akhlāq al-Adudiyya into a model of Traditional Islamic Virtues (TIV)
(Michigan Publishing, 2024) Keshavarzi, Hooman; Yanık, Medaim; Keçeci, Esra; Cinisli, Muhammed Furkan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
While psychologists have only recently become extensively interested in character development and virtue acquisition, such an interest has existed for centuries among Muslim scholars. Islamic scholars have created many typologies and classifications of the virtues building upon the tradition they inherited from the ancient Greeks. Among the most notable works in this genre is the treatise most famously known as al-akhlāq al-ad ․udiyyah, written by the 14th century scholar Ad ․ud al-Dīn al-Ījī (d. 756 AH/1355 CE), which provided a comprehensive yet concise manual of the Islamic virtues that synthesized the previous work of Islamic philosophers situated within Islamic scripture. This paper provides a revised classification of the Islamic virtues by adjusting al-Ījī’s classification of virtues in his al-akhlāq al-ad ․udiyyah.This revised classification of virtues, referred to as Traditional Islamic Virtues (TIV), adopts the four cardinal virtues of wisdom, temperance, valor, and justice, with the addition of spirituality as an independent chief virtue with accompanying sub-virtues. TIV provides an aggregation of many of the sub-virtues enlisted by al-Ījī due to the degree of overlap between them. TIV also makes minor linguistic revisions and adds a few new sub-virtues. The definitions of each of the TIV sub-virtues are constructed by drawing upon numerous sources in the Islamic tradition while still relying mostly on al-Ījī’s classification.The process of aggregation and revision has produced five cardinal TIV virtues with 31 sub-virtues. This paper further demonstrates that a review and integration of the Islamic tradition into mainstream psychological discourses can greatly enrich the holistic practice of clinical and community psychology.
Contemporary scholarship on classical Islamic psychology a scoping review
(Michigan Publishing, 2024) Elzamzamy, Khalid; Bader, Rasha K.; Bircan, Fikriye Bilge
The Islamic classical scholarly tradition is replete with literature on a wide range of psychological themes. In recent decades, there has been a surge in the study and re-evaluation of this classical literature considering modern psychology. The purpose of this review is to typologize and examine the prevalent themes and approaches in this contemporary body of scholarship engaging with classical Islamic psychological literature, and to highlight gaps and limitations. This literature review utilized a flexible search strategy through various national and regional databases using a wide range of keywords. The study included a total of 132 works in three languages: Arabic, English, and Turkish. The identified works were screened for inclusion based on their relevance to psychology and their focus on classical Islamic works. These works were organized according to a thematic typology developed by the authors into three categories: broad overviews, theory-oriented works, and application-oriented works. The review indicated a significant diversified interest in classical literature in relation to modern approaches to psychology. However, contemporary scholarship included a notable “championing” attitude towards classical literature with less prevalence of empirical explorations and practical applications. Certain classical scholars and treatises received significantly more attention than others in recent decades. The paper concludes by offering future directions for research in this domain.
Exploring the impact of behavioural factors and personality traits on private pension system participation: A machine learning approach
(İstanbul University Press, 2024) Verberi, Can; Kaplan, Muhittin; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
This study aims to investigate the effects of personality traits, in addition to basic financial literacy, private pension literacy and behavioural factors on Private Pension System (PPS) participation using machine learning algorithms. The PPS participation model was trained using both random forest and LightGBM algorithms, and the contributions of model inputs in the prediction of pension participation were interpreted using the Tree SHAP algorithms with swarmplots. The data employed in the empirical analysis is survey data collected from the Şırnak province of Türkiye with a sample size of 449. The findings of the study shows that: (i) PPS participation is more likely for females and middle-aged people; (ii) High basic financial literacy has a negative impact on PPS participation; (iii) Extraversion is the key personality trait affecting PPS participation; (iv) Advanced pension literacy has more impact on participation than simple pension literacy: (v) Present-fatalistic tendency is key behavioural factor and it negatively affects PPS; (vi) Present-hedonistic, conscientiousness, future-time orientation, and locus of control tendencies increase PPS participation. Furthermore, the distribution of colours in LightGBM has a greater degree of uniformity in both directions compared with the random forest algorithm. Finally, to increase PPS participation, the results of the study suggest the implementation of the following policy measures: Tailored pension literacy programmes can help to increase pension participation rates. Incentives should be created to prevent narrow-minded behaviour and establish a sense of protection and control around PPS, targeting middle-aged individuals and women.
An ecological inquiry into transnational English language teachers’ emotional vulnerability and agency
(Routledge, 2024) Nazari, Mostafa; Kamali, Jaber; Rektörlük, Yabancı Diller Okulu
In this study, we propose an ecological model of teacheragency and emotional vulnerability that draws on epistemological rootsof these two constructs to capture historico-personal, socio-organizational,and prospective levels of teacher professionalism. We then ontologicallyapply the model to exploring transnational language teachers’ agency andemotional vulnerability in the context of Turkey. Framing the study withina narrative inquiry methodology, we collected data from open-ended ques-tionnaires, narrative frames, and semi-structured interviews. Data analysesrevealed that the teachers’ personal emotions, embodied agencies, andvulnerabilities were profoundly shaped by individual histories, contextualdiscourses, and sociocultural particularities. The findings unpack noveldimensions of teachers’ agency and emotional vulnerability, attesting totheir interconnection, especially within the context of transnationalism. Weconclude the study with implications for teacher educators to reduce thepressure on transnational teachers and render their agencies as rooted ineffective professional growth, rather than being defined by excessive vul-nerabilities that in turn restrict teacher agencies.
Case report: Recovery from sexual assault: A religion-adapted cognitive behavioral therapy for a woman sexual assault survivor
(Elsevier Masson s.r.l., 2024) Işık, Hatice Rumeysa; Toprak, Taha Burak; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Long-term prevalence estimates for PTSD among female victims of sexual assault vary from 54.8 % (Oosterbaan et al., 2019) to 70 % (Bownes et al., 1991) and 87 % (Mgoqi-Mbalo et al., 2017), according to studies. Even sexual assault-related PTSD is significantly more prevalent than PTSD unrelated to sexual assault (Oosterbaan et al., 2019). Furthermore, Temple et al. (2007) found that rape, particularly by a current partner, is a significant risk factor for PTSD, stress, and dissociation. A significantly higher prevalence of PTSD as well as sexual problems and eating and mood disorders has been observed in raped women (Faravelli et al., 2004; Mgoqi-Mbalo et al., 2017; O'Loughlin & Brotto, 2020; Steketee & Foa, 1987). These findings underline the need to provide treatment for victims (Chivers-Wilson, 2006; Cowan et al., 2020). Existing research indicates that there is a need for a greater number of studies examining psychosocial interventions for victims of sexual assault; however, the prevailing body of evidence supports the effectiveness of interventions utilizing video and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques (Lomax & Meyrick, 2022). However, trauma-related disorders may vary by culture, as may their therapies (Schnyder et al., 2016)…
Examining the interplay of teacher emotional intelligence and feedback responsiveness in post-observation conferences: Voices from Iran
(Springer Nature, 2024) Kamali, Jaber; Javahery, Pourya; Rektörlük, Yabancı Diller Okulu
This study attempted to investigate the impact of teachers’ Emotional Intelligence (EI) on how they respond to post-observation feedback. To do so, 11 Iranian EFL teachers were selected and divided into two groups of high and low EI based on their EI test results. Based on their observed classes, post-observation conferences were held between the teacher and the observer. A thorough thematic analysis of the data unveiled three pre dominant themes: (1) maintaining positive moods and coping with stressful situations, (2) accepting negative feedback and justifying one’s performance, and (3) accepting negative feedback and becoming defensive. The findings of the study suggested that there were obvious differences in the way the teachers reacted to feedback from their observers. High EI teachers remained more confident after the negative feedback, were willing to listen to the observer, were active listeners, were open to criticism, and reflected on their performance. Low EI teachers, however, became agitated, failed to control their stress, tried to justify their performance, did not tend to accept the negative feedback, became defensive, responded immediately, and used discourse boosters frequently after the nega tive feedback. The study urges updated teacher education programs informed by teachers’ EI, particularly in providing feedback on their performance.
The role of flexibility, digitalization, and crisis response strategy for SMEs: Case of COVID-19
(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Kahveci, Eyüp; Avunduk, Zehra Binnur; Daim, Tuğrul; Zaim, Selim; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
We explore the impact of COVID-19 on small- and medium-sizedenterprises (SMEs) and examine how crisis management strate-gies, particularly related to flexibility and digitalization, haveinfluenced their responses during and after the pandemic. Inthis regard, we investigate the relationships between strategicflexibility, digitalization, digital technology adoption, COVID-19 perception, and firm strategy after the pandemic by specifi-cally incorporating the mediating role of the crisis responsestrategy. Based on a survey of 206 Turkish SMEs in manufactur-ing and service industries, our research employs structural equa-tion modeling using Smart PLS. Our findings indicate that crisisresponse strategies play a significant role in shaping the firmstrategy after COVID-19, mediating the impact of strategic flex-ibility, digitalization, digital technology adoption, and COVID-19 perception. The findings highlight the importance of crisisresponse strategies—including optimizing business models,developing marketing channels, investing in technologicalinnovation, diversifying into new business areas, and integrat-ing the supply chain—during the COVID-19 period. These stra-tegies are crucial influencers in shaping the firm strategies ofSMEs beyond the pandemic. In particular, SMEs demonstrateadaptation by reassessing and restructuring their product port-folios, expanding their presence in regional markets, and estab-lishing strategic collaborations to thrive in the evolving businesslandscape.
Dimensions responsible for overall satisfaction among university students: A case study of Ibn Haldun University
(Tomsk State University, 2024) Nazir, Thseen; Nawab, Tabish; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Educational institutions around the world are always trying to impart the highest quality of education, and they are continuously improving their quality and standards. This practice enables them to attract much more capable students as well as academics. As the student is at the center of the learning process, his/her satisfaction is also at the center of the quality and standards of an educational institution. This study aims to find and assess the most important dimensions responsible for the overall satisfaction of Ibn Haldun’s students. For this, a sample of 180 students from different departments, programs (undergraduate, graduate and language), gender (Male – 41.28% and Female – 58.72%), nationalities (Turkish – 71% and Foreigners – 29%), etc. were surveyed. Students were questioned about their satisfaction levels on different dimensions like academic, accommodations, facilities and services, extracurricular, economic and financial, social and cultural via their expectations before joining Ibn Haldun University. In-depth descriptive statistical analysis and multiple linear regression model with General to Specific methodology has been used to find and evaluate the key dimensions contributing to overall satisfaction. The study found overall satisfaction to be independent of gender and nationality. Also, graduate students were found to be more satisfied than undergraduates, while the number of semesters spent at Ibn Haldun University was found to be positively and highly correlated with overall satisfaction. Furthermore, economic and financial benefits granted to students by the university, academic features and the facilities and services dimen- sions are the key determinants of overall satisfaction of the students. The study concludes that the students’ satisfaction can be further improved by enhancing the above-mentioned features and a special attention may be given to social and cultural integration of students, accommo- dation facilities provided to the students and extracurricular activities.
Asymmetric effects of economic growth, fossil fuel consumption, and financial development on carbon emissions in Ghana
(Shaheed Benazir Bhutto Women University, 2024) Abdul Rahman, Mutawakil; Iftikhar, Sundas; Khan, Asad ul Islam; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İktisat Bölümü
This research analyzes the impact of economic expansion, non-renewable energy consumption (NonREC), financial sector improvement, and carbon releases in Ghana. The study used yearly data from 1971 to 2014 and applied the Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) method to examine the data. The NARDL approach facilitated the differentiation of variables into favorable and unfavorable adjustments by examining the short-and long-run effects. The results indicated that all the independent variables exhibited short-term asymmetries, while economic growth presented long-term asymmetry. Negative adjustments in economic expansion led to a decline in carbon releases in the long run but an increase in the short run. favorable and unfavorable adjustments in NonREC positively and negatively impact carbon releases in both the short and long term. Additionally, negative adjustments in financial development positively affected carbon releases in the long run. The cumulative dynamic multipliers graphs and impulse response function graphs illustrate the same impact pattern of the independent variables on carbon releases, confirming the findings' robustness. The study suggests implementing environmental policies in Ghana that promote renewable sources of energy and energy-conserving innovations to reduce environmental degradation. The findings recommend that the decision-maker prioritize effective environmental strategies like a green economy, renewable energy use, and energy-saving technologies. By adopting clean energy and implementing advanced technologies, sustainable economic growth can be achieved while preserving the environment and the ecosystem.
Türk edebiyatının yurtdışında temsili hakkında bir soykütüğü denemesi
(Istanbul University Press, 2024) Haliloğlu, Nagihan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Karşılaştırmalı Edebiyat Bölümü
2023’ün son günlerinde katıldığım bir tez savunmasında jüri üyeleri yakın zamanda okudukları romanlardan bahsederken konu Elif Shafak’a geldi. Hocalardan biri yirminci sayfadan sonra romanı okumakta zorlandığını, yapay zeka tarafından yazılmış bir metin okuduğu hissine kapıldığını söyledi. Elif Shafak’ın en başından beri yurtdışı pazarına dönük olan yazınının geldiği en son nokta, yaşadığı ülke İngiltere’de en çok rağbet gören sosyal meselelerin AI tarafından yorumlanması olarak değerlendirilen bir roman. Uzun süre dünya edebiyatında Türkiye’yi ve hatta “Doğu”yu temsil eden (Rustin, 2014), bölgeyi bilmeyen Avrupalılara buraları şerh eden bir yazar olarak isim yapan Shafak öyle “uluslararasılaştı” ki, 2010’ların sonuna kadar “bir Türk kadını olarak ben…” mealinde yazdığı yazıları elden ele dolaşan yazarın ismi şu anda Wikipedia sayfasında “Britanyalı Türk” yazar olarak geçiyor...
A PERMA model approach to well‑being: A psychometric properties study
(Springer Nature, 2024) Al-Hendawi, Maha; Alodat, Ali; Al-Zoubi, Suhail; Bulut, Sefa; Bulut, Sefa; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Psychological well-being infuences all the facets of adolescent success. This study examined the psychometric prop erties of PERMA, a subjective well-being measure consisting of fve domains: positive emotions, engagement, relation ships, meaning, and accomplishment. The sample size consisted of 502 high school students from public schools in Qatar. Contrary to expectations, the fve-factor structure for PERMA did not ft our data well; however, after refning the model by the errors of the covariances between items, the one-factor model was found to be applicable. Mul tivariate analysis revealed that socioeconomic status (SES) and level of academic performance were independently and positively associated with overall well-being scores, whereas internalizing and externalizing behaviors were negatively associated. Notably, no signifcant efects of gender or age on well-being were observed. These fndings suggest that interventions specifc to socioeconomic status, academic excellence, and internalizing and externalizing behaviors in the school setting can produce more efective outcomes concerning student well-being.
Islamic theism and the multiverse
(MDPI, 2024) Doko, Enis; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Felsefe Bölümü
In this paper, we argue that under certain assumptions, Islamic theism moves in the direction of a multiverse. We present several arguments in two major categories. The first is based on the divine attribute of everlastingness: if God’s everlasting attributes are expressed in the creation and the universe has a finite past, then God created a multiverse. The second category involves perfect being theology: if some of God’s attributes express themselves in the creation, and God has every compossible perfection, then we should expect God to create a multiverse.
