Ahmadu Bamba’s Qur’ānic commentaries: Characteristics and methodologies
(Üsküdar Üniversitesi, 2025) Mbacke, Khadim Cheikhouna
This article examines the Qur’anic exegesis of Shaykh Ahmadu Bamba Mbacke (d. 1927), founder of the Murīdiyya Sufi order, with a focus on his interpretive methodologies and the distinctive features that define his engagement with the Qur’ān. While Bamba is widely recognized for his spiritual authority, moral reformism, and socio-political legacy within colonial Senegal, his intellectual contributions to tafsīr have received comparatively limited scholarly attention. By situating his work within the broader context of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century West African Islamic scholarship, the study explores how Bamba combined exoteric (ẓāhirī) and esoteric (ishārī) approaches to produce a synthesis of juridical precision, linguistic mastery, and mystical insight. Through an analysis of his writings, the article highlights his creative use of inherited exegetical traditions and his emphasis on spiritual transformation as a goal of Qur’ānic understanding. It further examines the continuing influence of his tafsīr on Murīd thought and Senegalese Islam, underscoring Bamba’s enduring contribution to the renewal of Qur’ānic interpretation in the Islamic West.
Technology-enhanced “GipSci” approach in developing contexts performs well at interest and curiosity, yet, needs reinforcing at inquiry level
(Routledge, 2025) Birgili, Bengi; Bulut, Mehmet Akın; Gülünay, Oksana; Koçoğlu, Merve; Baş, Fatma Rüveyda; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
Numerous studies explore inquiry in science centers, but technology-enhanced science centers’ (TeSC) curricula remain relatively nascent. This mixed-methods study explores how the GiPSci model, a technology-enhanced science center program developed in-house by curriculum experts, supports learners’ inquiry skills aligned with international standards. Data were collected through learners’ products (n = 161), lesson observations (n = 20), train-the-trainer activities (n = 405), expert evaluations (n = 14), and interviews with trainers (n = 10). Findings reveal curiosity and interest scored higher than inquiry, highlighting the challenges of inquiry in tech-enhanced settings. Consensus among trainers, observations, and learners’ products points to gaps in fostering inquiry skills in the TeSC program. To enhance GiPSci-like models, collaboration among program designers, trainers, and train-the-trainer providers is essential to better align the technology-enhanced science centers’ program with inquiry-based learning.
Khaṭīb al-Baghdadi’s methodological contributions to hadīth studies and their influence on subsequent Islamic scholarship
(Ensar Neşriyat, 2025) Özdemir, Eda
The study of ḥadīth lies at the heart of Islamic scholarship, providing the second foundational source for Islamic law and theology after the Qur’an. Ensuring the authenticity and understanding of ḥadīth reports has been a crucial endeavor throughout Islamic history, as it directly influences legal rulings, theological doctrines, and the overall structure of Islamic practice. Al-Khaṭīb al-Baghdādī's contributions to ʿUlūm al-Ḥadīth were pivotal in refining the methodologies used to authenticate ḥadīth and ensure their appropriate application. Understanding his work is not only important for appreciating the historical development of ḥadīth sciences but also for exploring how his synthesis of ʿilm al-riwāyah (transmission) and ʿilm aldirāyah (understanding) continues to influence contemporary Islamic scholarship...
Humor in therapy: Assessing demand for integration
(Bilişsel Davranışçı Psikoterapiler Derneği, 2025) Çakır Mete, Betül; Selman Adıyaman, Saliha Büşra; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Humor can deepen therapeutic alliance and cognitive flexibility, yet its clinical value appears to depend on the characteristics of the client. This study examined how sociocultural factors play a role in psychotherapy expectations for humor use. In a preregistered study of adults (n=398, 77.1% female; Mage=34.5, SD=12.1), participants completed personality, coping humor, expectation of humor in therapy, and demographic/cultural measures. Group differences were assessed using t-tests and analysis of variance (t/ANOVA); a path model (adjusted for demographic and contextual covariates) was used to test whether the approach to humor in culture was linked to coping humor and expectations for humor in psychotherapy. Men reported greater use of coping humor than women (p<0.05). Habitual coping with humor was strongly correlated with higher expectations for therapeutic humor (ρ=0.60, p<0.05). Regression analyses showed that older age (β=0.16, p<0.05) were independently associated with stronger expectations of humor in psychotherapy. A favorable cultural stance toward humor was associated with more coping humor (β=0.24, p<0.05), which in turn was related to higher expectations (β=0.38, p<0.05); the indirect effect (β=0.09, 95% CI.05–0.14) accounted for 40% of the total association. Personality traits and other covariates were not significant. Clients who come from humor-affirming cultures and already rely on humor to cope are most likely to expect and presumably benefit from humor in psychotherapy. Therefore, a culturally attuned, client-centered use of humor may enhance engagement without compromising therapeutic seriousness.
Cognitive and affective empathy, executive functions, and the key role of personal distress: Why do autistic traits predict mental health symptoms in neurotypical adults?
(Springer Nature, 2025) Sönmez, Dilruba; Jordan, Timothy R.
Individuals with elevated autistic traits often experience internalizing symptoms that affect their quality of life. However, the mechanisms underlying this process in neurotypical populations remain unclear. The present study investigated the mediating roles of executive functions (cognitive flexibility, working memory, inhibitory control) and social cognition (affective empathy, cognitive empathy) in this relationship. The mental health symptoms of 159 neurotypical adult participants (ranging 18-45) were assessed using the Autism Quotient, Depression Anxiety Stress-21, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Generalized Anxiety Questionnaire-7. Within the same participants, executive functions were assessed using the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task, N-back Task, and Go/No-Go Task, while social cognition was assessed using the Interpersonal Reactivity Index, the Eyes Test, and the Self-Assessment Manikin. Results indicated that autistic traits were positively associated with mental health symptoms. Among the examined variables, personal distress-a component of affective empathy—was the only factor showing a link between attention-switching difficulties and mental health symptoms. Neither cognitive empathy nor executive functions demonstrated significant associations. These findings suggest that heightened affective empathy may be related to greater emotional vulnerability in individuals with elevated autistic traits. The study contributes to a better understanding of the associations among autistic traits, affective empathy, and mental health, and underscores the importance of considering emotion-regulation processes in future research.
