Secular principles in practice: The Kyrgyzstan model
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Akchokoev, Aibek; Sarı, Yaşar; Sarı, Yaşar; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Siyaset Bilimi ve Uluslararası İlişkiler Bölümü
The Kyrgyz Republic, while officially a secular state, encounters challenges in balancing secular principles with the increasing role of religion in society. Although secularism typically requires impartiality among religions, the state showed preferential support in 2014 toward the Hanafi school of Islam and the Russian Orthodox Church. Efforts to regulate religious expression among citizens have sparked concerns about the government’s commitment to secular values, which implies the separation between state and religious institutions. Kyrgyzstan faces competing pressures: some citizens call for stricter religious regulations to safeguard national identity, while religious minorities cite violations of their rights, and international organizations push for the protection of fundamental human rights. This paper analyzes how secular principles are crafted, applied, and maintained in Kyrgyzstan, a Muslim-majority nation. It focuses on how Kyrgyz political elites manage rising religiosity, adapting strategies to maintain secular governance. The paper examines policy documents to uncover shifts in Kyrgyzstan’s approach to secularism and religion over time.
Comparative analysis of the financial and operational performance of full-service Turkish and German airline companies in light of the pandemic
(Liberty Publishing House, 2026) Demirkazık, Hasan; Aksoy, Tamer; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study aimed to comparatively examine the financial and operational impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on full-service airlines in the examples of Turkish Airlines (THY) and Lufthansa. Accordingly, the study sought to answer questions such as: how did the pandemic affect the financial and operational performance of the two airlines; which company performed more strongly in terms of post-crisis recovery dynamics; and what differences emerged in terms of liquidity, profitability, and operational resilience in the airlines under consideration. The study utilized a comparative case study along with financial statement analysis and ratio analysis approaches for financial and operational performance indicators. The hypotheses formulated in the study were: H1) The pandemic negatively impacted financial and operational performance; H2) THY was more successful than Lufthansa in post-COVID-19 pandemic recovery; H3) Lufthansa had stronger liquidity management; H4) The performance of the selected airlines showed parallelism in some indicators. This study utilized independent audit reports and activity reports from the sample companies for the period 2018–2022, analyzing companies' liquidity, activity, financial structure, and profitability ratios, along with operational indicators such as passenger volume, load factor, capacity utilization, and cargo performance. The study findings revealed that the pandemic caused significant performance losses for both airlines, but their recovery dynamics differed. Furthermore, the study indicated that THY demonstrated stronger performance in terms of operational recovery, profitability, and asset utilization efficiency, while Lufthansa showed a relative advantage in liquidity management and cash buffers. In other words, the findings showed that THY employed an operational resilience-based model and outperformed in profitability, efficiency, operational recovery, and lower leverage. On the other hand, Lufthansa was found to employ a liquidity-based resilience model and outperformed based on cash buffers, liquidity management, and cargo-weighted resilience. The study is limited to two countries, two airlines, the use of secondary data, selected financial and operational performance indicators, the period, and the comparative analysis method. Future studies involving a wider variety of countries, airlines, performance indicators, broader periods, and different analysis and decision-making methods could lead to more general conclusions.
Uncovering digital maturity and financial performance relationship in the service sectors
(IGI Global Scientific Publishing, 2026) Yılmaz, Mustafa Kemal; Aksoy, Mine; Cengiz Tırpan, Esra; Özşahin, Mehtap; Coşkun, Erman; Uysal, Özgür; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study aims to explore how digital maturity level (DML) affects financial performance (FP) in the service sector firms listed on Borsa Istanbul in Türkiye. Using panel data of 59 service companies for the years 2016–2022, this study employs a text mining approach to calculate DML of the firms from their annual reports and uses panel regression analysis to examine the interplay between DML and FP. The results indicate that there is a U-shaped relationship between DML and FP of service sector firms. Companies that have a greater orientation towards digitalization face a decreasing FP in the short term but get increasing financial benefits in the long run. However, this relationship varies across the sectors of information, communication and publishing activities, construction and public works and transportation and storage. The findings provide valuable insights for companies to structure right digitalization strategies to ensure sustainable financial gains.
[Conference Object] Factors affecting bank selection in export financing: The case of Turkey
(Hitit Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2023) Bahari, Soraiya; Gümüş, Nihat; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
This study investigates the factors that are effective in the selection of the banks with which the exporting firms choose to work in financing their operations. Choosing a bank is of utmost importance for firms since the chosen bank can, beyond facilitating the financial transactions, become a collaborative partner, influencing the timeliness, security, and reliability of cross-border exchanges. So, the choice of a bank can significantly impact the success of export finance transactions. This study investigates the factors exporters consider when choosing a bank for export financing. Based on the conceptual frameworks in the literature and interviews with the practitioners, a scale has been developed encompassing thirty-two variables that consistently emerge in various studies as crucial criteria for bank selection. To collect primary data and determine the key factors influencing exporters' bank selection in Turkey, a structured questionnaire was designed based on a five-point Likert scale to measure participants' levels of agreement concerning variables. A total of one hundred thirty responses were collected from Turkish and non-Turkish exporters in Turkey. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) and Microsoft Excel were used as the statistical tools for data analysis. An exploratory factor analysis was conducted using the principal component analysis (PCA) technique with Varimax rotation. The analysis resulted in the identification of five distinct factors: the first factor, "Alternative Products and Services," which comprises seven variables, the second factor, "Information and High-Quality Services," composed of four essential variables, the third factor, "Bank Institution Type" encompassing two key variables, the fourth-factor "Marketing and Customer Loyalty," consisting of three variables and the fifth factor "Bank Reputation," formed of two variables. The first and the second factors turned out to be the most important factors among others, as indicated by the highest average value. Bank reputation and marketing, and Customer Loyalty factors are in the next positions, respectively. Whether a bank is a conventional or participation bank is found to have the least importance. The study contributes to the literature in three aspects. First of all, it provides a new scale to measure the bank preferences of exporting firms which is a rather less studied area. Secondly, it contributes to the literature on customer behavior in the finance sector using sample data from institutional firms rather than individuals. Thirdly, the study has important ramifications for banks since it provides insights about which factors to focus on when approaching institutional clients that engage in exporting business.
Talim ve terbiye kavramları: İslam'ın ilk dönemlerinden hicri 6. yüzyıla kadar
(VakıfBank Kültür Yayınları, 2025) Baysan, İbrahim Vehbi; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
“Talim” ve “terbiye” kavramları İslam’ın ilk dönemlerinden itibaren yüzyıllar boyunca sürekli bir evrim ve farklılaşma geçirerek, çocukların eğitim ve öğrenim faaliyetleri açısından önemli bir rol oynamıştır. Gelişmekte olan fıkıh, kelam, tefsir, hadis gibi ilimlerin yanı sıra talim ve terbiye meseleleri de gündemdeki yerini korumuştur. Üstelik zikredilen ilimlerden ayrı olarak sadece konunun uzmanlarını değil toplumun farklı kesimlerini de ilgilendiren bir mesele olmaya devam etmiştir. Aileler çocuklarına iyi bir dini eğitim aldırma saikiyle talim ve terbiye sürecinin doğrudan bir parçası haline gelmiştir.
Eğitim ve öğretim faaliyetleri zamanla dönüşen sosyal, kültürel ve siyasi koşullara bağlı olarak değişime uğramıştır. Doğal olarak bu süreçte kavramların anlam ve kullanımında farklılıklar ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, talim ve terbiye terimlerinin İslam’ın ilk dönemlerinden hicri 6. yüzyıla kadarki tarihsel süreçte geçirdiği aşmalar, edindiği manalar, kullanım çeşitliliği, bu terimlerin zaman içinde ve bölgeden bölgeye olan muhtemel anlam farklılıkları incelenmiştir. Değişim ve farklılaşma süreci ilgili kaynaklara dayanılarak araştırılıp analiz edilmiştir. Kavramların devirden devire, bölgeden bölgeye kullanımında olası anlam farklılıkları da göz önünde tutulmuştur. Bir diğer ifadeyle, İslam’ın ilk yüzyıllarından hicri 6. Yüzyıla kadar olan dönem, bu kavramların kullanımının inceleneceği birinci evreyi oluşturmaktadır. Bu dönemde talim ve terbiye terimlerinin ifade ettiği anlamlar, eğitime dair o döneme ait çeşitli eserler aracılığıyla detaylandırılmıştır.
