Presentation Deneyimin Dışavurumu Olarak Dengbejlik Geleneğinde Müzik(2015) Bulmuş, SongülMusic is generally conceptualized as the formation of sound which essentially consists in harmonic musical form and vibration, and thus it is referred to the physical aspect of music. However, this kind of approach to music represents tunnel vision. It may be claimed as the birth of melody that human likened his voice to the birds, wind and sea by imitating the sounds in the nature and then created music by using his voice and things. In this respect, music as a basic and primitive instinct among other fields of art have been expressed in different ways from the antiquity to the present, and therefore it becomes a multifaceted reality that should be viewed in the context of various aspects. It appears that there are some indicators on musical tissue in case music is an expression of man’s senses as a bio-psycho being and thus it is a behavioural pattern. When music is examined in the context of social, cultural, politic and economic constructions and identities, it seems that each society has a musical tradition with a sense of aesthetics and value judgments. As written literature has not improved in Kurdish society, music is very important as a language rather than means because it represents emotional world of people. Thus, the dengbej tradition on Kurdish music is essential due to provide an opportunity for oral literature to improve. In Kurdish, ’deng’ means voice and ’bej’ means tell or convey. Dengbejs besides musician have many missions in the society that they are sometimes a teacher of literature as a story teller or an actor with theatrical performance. In this tradition, Dengbejs, whose songs are entirely about every details of life, constitute collective memory by conveying social, cultural and economic situations from the past to the present. The most important assertion of therapy process is to give a new ego narrative to the patient. Consequently, the reconstructing of experience and the transformation of song into a recovery could be seen on the voice and song’s story of dengbej. In other words, it may be recognized a suppression effort on songs. Dengbejs attempt to obtain a theraupetic narrative by blending own story, and the society’s as well. Thus this narrative has a therapeutic effect. In this context, healing property of voice and word refers to transforming the function of mother from the point of Bionien. This study attmepts to emphasise what music in dengbej tradition means for daily living of musician and listener as well. In so doing, it is hoped to evaulate which factors have been effective in improving of this arthistic phenomenon and which immanent meanings of dengbej tradition appears in people’s sense of world as an expression of experiences through musicArticle Geleneksel Dengbej Müziğinin Terapötik Etkisinin Psikanalitik Açıdan Değerlendirilmesi(Porte Akademik Müzik ve Dans Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2016) Bulmuş, SongülMusic as a cultural phenomenon has different meanings and values for every society. Accordingly, musical practices might vary in quantitative and qualitative characteristics. When music is examined in the context of cultural, social and politic constructions and identities, it seems that each society has a musical tradition formed by their own aesthetics and value judgments. As written culture has not improved in Kurdish society, music is of great importance as a language rather than means because it represents emotional world of people. In this respect, dengbej music, having a vital position in expressing oneself, has therapeutical effects on mental health of people. In this article, dengbej music is psychoanalytically reviewed within the scope of projective identification theory of Wilfred R. Bion. In so doing, it is hoped to evaluate traditional performance of dengbej music as functional aspect within the context of interrelation between performer and audience.Article The Theory of Signification: Semiotic Criticism and Literature(International Journal of Language Academy, 2017) Kalelioğlu, MuratAs a signification theory, semiotic criticism attracts considerable interest from researchers in different disciplines. Literature is one of the fields where the theory is used for signifying practices. Literary semiotics has emerged as a sub-discipline as a result of the efficient interaction between semiotics and literature. The process of meaning creation in texts can be elucidated through literary semiotics. Semiotics has idiosyncratic rules and concepts in its system to accomplish its goal that bars new researchers from benefiting the theory’s data in penetrating and unfolding different meaning stratums. This paper will argue the critical steps and tools of a systematized semiotic analysis within the process of signification to overcome such obstacles. The relationship between language and literature, literary semiotics and analysis tools will be addressed through the discussion of the historical development of sign studies within the scope of semiotics as a signification theory.Conference Object 3D Biomechanical Analysis of Targeted and Non-Targeted Drag Flick Shooting Technique in Field Hockey and Training Strategies(ICLEL CONFERENCES, 2017) Eskiyecek, Canan Gülbin; Meriç Bingül, Bergün; Bulgan, Çiğdem; Aydın, MenşureThis study compared targeted and non-targeted drag flick field hockey shooting techniques in the penalty corner area, using a three-dimensional kinematic analysis. Eleven male field hockey players (mean age 19,82 +/- 1,40 years) participated voluntarily. Seven high-speed cameras (Oqus 7+) with 120Hz refresh rates were used. Field calibration was completed via the wand method. The data was evaluated in two phases: starting and fmishing. Players undertook three drag flick shots to the box using targeted and non-targeted techniques. The angular kinematics and stroke force applied to the stick were analyzed using the Qualisys Track Manager Program V2.12, and ball velocity statistics were gathered with the SPSS 18.0 program. To make an accurate target shot the players attempted to maximize their targeted shooting rates, particularly by decreasing the speed of their lower extremities.Book Part Her Yönüyle Yabancı Dil Üzerine Arastırmalar, Bölüm adı:(Türk Ögrencilerin Yabancı Dil Ögreniminde Karsılastıgı Güçlükler)(Çizgi Kitabevi, 2017) BÜYÜKKARCI, Orhun…Presentation Düzenli Egzersiz Yapan ve Düzenli Egzersiz Yapmayan 18-25 Yaş Grubu Bireylerin Fiziksel ve Motorik Özelliklerinin Karşılaştırılması(3.

Henry’s The Gift of the Magi(2018) Kalelioğlu, MuratSemiotics covers a broad range of subjects since it has an enchanting multidisciplinary frame from language and culture to philosophy and science. Whatever the subject area is, the primary purpose of semiotics is the signification of all types of signs produced by societies. Language and literature which reflect the cultural richness of societies are the critical outcomes of that production process. Those disciplines are firmly relevant to the field of semiotics since they are formed with linguistic and non-linguistic signs. Regarding the analysis of the products, it is considered to gather various methods and combine them rationally to examine the texts with a multifaceted approach. Accordingly, it is determined to analyze the production process of the semantic universe of O. Henry’s The Gift of the Magi in this study. The research has been carried out by taking advantage of the data from narratology and semiotics. Primarily, the text has been evaluated within the scope of narratology; first, it has been attempted to account for the narrative considering the theory of enunciation and then to put forward the basic structure of the text according to Larivaille’s five-staged narrative profile. Subsequently, in the analysis of the text, it has been made use of literary semiotics; at this point, the constituent elements of the narrative in different semantic stratums have been scrutinized as part of Paris School’s semiotics trajectory. In this regard, we had the opportunity to observe the formative elements of the text at the surface and deep levels of meaning and to explain how these elements are articulated with each other to create the fiction of the narrative as a meaningful whole. Greimas’s four-staged narrative programme, actantial schema, and semiotic square have been practiced in the analysis of the formative elements taking place at various meaning levels of the text. As a result, it has been attempted to find answers to the questions of how O. Henry created the semantic universe of the text, and of what the role of culture was in the creation of meaning in this universe.Article Spor Masajı(Iğdır Üniversitesi, 2018) Gürkan, Alper Cenk; Dalbudak, İbrahim; Bakır, Bahtiyar; Dinç, Ahmet; Türkmen, Mustafa ( Eski Adı: Ghazwan Karaem Ali )Masajın 5 bin yıllık bir geçmişi olduğu varsayılıyor. Hint dilinde “masser”, Arapçada” mess”, İbranicede “mashesh”, Yunancada “massein” kelimeleri sıvazlama ve yoğurma anlamına gelir. 19.yüz yılda ise masajla ilgilenen hekim sayılarında yüksek bir artış meydana gelmiştir. Bu dönemde özellikle İsveçli Peter Henre Ling (1778-1839) masaj tekniklerini bilimsel anlamda ilk düzenleyen kişi olarak tarih de yerini almış olup, bu günkü İsveç masajının da bilimsel açıdan temelini atmıştır. Spor masajı ise, klasik masaj ile ilişkili tekniklerin sporcunun sağlığının ve genel durumunun iyileştirilmesi, sportif performansın arttırılması ya da desteklenmesi için kullanılan manipülasyonlardır. Bir başka açıdan, Sporcunun motivasyonunu pekiştirmek, genel ısınma öncesinde özel ısınmasına destek vermek ve aktivite sonrasında toparlanmasını hızlandırmak amacıyla yapılan bir klasik masajı teknikleridir. Klasik masajın temelini İsveçli Peter Henre Lingde sonra A.Hoffa kurgulamıştır. 1893’te yayınladığı kitabında, masaj manipülasyonlarını öfloraj, petrisaj, friksiyon, tapotement ve vibrasyon olarak beşe ayırmıştır. Halen bu teknikler, Hacettepe üniversitesinde fizyoterapi bölümde ders olacakta okutulmaktadır. İlk spor masajı dersi ise Gazi Üniversitesi o zamanki adıyla Beden Eğitimi ve Spor Yüksekokulunda okutulmaya başlamış buranın öncülüğünde Gençlik ve Spor Bakanlığı bünyesinde spor masörlüğü kursları açılmaya başlanmıştır. Günümüzde spor masajı birçok kulüpte resmileşmiş ve sportif performansın dışında tedavi yöntemleri olarak da kullanılan oldukça önemli bir destekleyici unsur olmuştur.Article Comparison of the narcissism level of the bodybuilders before and after the application of anabolic steroid cure(Horizon Research Publishing, 2018) Tazegül, ÜnsalThe aim of the study was to compare narcissism levels of bodybuilding athletes in elite level before and after anabolic steroid cure. Method: The sample group of the study was composed of a total of 42 bodybuilding athletes who use steroids and voluntarily participated in the study. A control group of 22 people was also established and they did not use steroids. Personality Inventory was used as a data collection tool. 16-question Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI-16) was coordinated by Daniel R. Ames and his colleagues at Colombia University. Paired sample t-test and descriptive statistical analysis were applied in the analysis of the data. Results: Before the steroid cure, the athletes’ narcissism level was found to be (8, 5714), after steroid cure, the athletes’ narcissism level was found to be (13, 4286). Conclusion: According to the statistical analysis results, it was determined that there was an increase in narcissism levels of the athletes after steroid cure. When this result is evaluated according to the characteristics of narcissistic personality, it can be said that after anabolic steroid cure, athletes more liked their bodily and physical characteristics. © 2018 by authors, all rights reserved.Article Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Son Dönemlerinde Misyonerlik ve Spor(İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Araştırmaları Dergisi, 2018) Tazegül, ÜnsalOsmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun son döneminde misyonerlik faaliyetlerinin büyük bir bölümü Amerikan Board ve Genç Hristiyan Birliği Örgütü tarafından yapılmaktaydı.

The study has been applied out on 35 male and 3 female national athletes including 9 male Greco-Roman style wrestlers (24±4.5 years), 10 male freestyle wrestlers (22.10±3.21 years), 8 male judokas (23.6±1.89 years), 8 male athletes (29±2.87 years) and 3 female athletes (21.67±2.08 years).The body fat ratios (BFRs) of the participating athletes have been measured totally 3 times, immediately before the 6 month training period, 3 months later and 6 months after the period. In order to determine body fat percentage, skinfold thicknesses have been measured with HOLTAIN brand skinfold caliper and the body fat percentages have been determined according to the LANGE formula. The statistical evaluation of the findings has been carried out by SPSS 21.0 computer package program and the arithmetic mean and standard deviation of all parameters have been calculated. Differences in (P<0.05) level were accepted as significant. BFRs in Greco-Roman wrestling, free style wrestling, judo and male athletes haven’t shown statistical difference according to measurement times (P>0.05). However, each measurement has been determined numerically lower than the previous one. The lowest average of women athletes has been observed in the second measures. Conclusion; Although each measure in body fat percentages of wrestlers and judokas has not been found statistically significant with respect to the previous measurement, the low reflectance has been interpreted as a conscious body weight loss for adjusting the weight for the athletes who were competitors as they approached the competition period.Presentation On İki Yaş Grubu Çocuklarda Altı Haftalık Aerobik ve Anaerobik Egzersiz Programının Motorik Özelliklerin Gelişimine Etkisi(3.

This in- terrelation from the point of music performance refers to a "person-object-music rela- tion” that can be interpreted that the voice contains the audibility, and therefore, other object. When we look at the acquisition of man making music from this point, it is pos- sible to say that the man who produces the music carries wish and desire to be heard by someone else. Therefore, this form of musical expression, which people make through the practice of singing, refers to a political situation. The object of which man wants to be heard, which he is addressing to is a reflection of this political situation. In this context, when we consider that music production is related to behavior; it is possi- ble to see that when we look at music as a human behavior, not just aesthetically, but also individuality and creativity, music performance comes together on a musical basis of the individual and social factors that underlie and act on this action. In this respect, the role of words cannot be denied. Especially in a social structure where written cul- ture cannot find development possibilities, dengbejs and dengbej music, which we can evaluate in verbal culture, has an important role as a form of expression. Today, new political establishments and the degeneration experienced with the media and popular works, are not leaving an area in which different music cultures in Turkey can find opportunity to express themselves freely. The reflection of this to Kurdish mu- sic in particular can be interpreted as the fact that the assimilation and repression pol- icies of the past still keeps its problematic update and that the written culture cannot develop itself with the influence of the social events in the region. Therefore, dengbej music, one of the ways of expressing itself, has an important functional role in preserv- ing the cultural identity and handing the collective memory down generation to gen- eration. Dengbejs, under many restrictive conditions, have created their own re- sistance fields on a musical ground. In this context, while music is a tool for the discourse of power, in parallel with this, what does it gain as a means of social holding in the current tension between power and society? What kind of harmony and resistance patterns have been displayed in Kurdish society as a consequences of the state policies and social events that the gov- ernment implements periodically? What kind of tensions do the experiences encoun- tered create in society, and what are impacts on the musical basis? In so doing, it is hoped to attempt to answer these questions.Presentation Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu Öğrencilerinin Narsisizm Düzeyleri ve Çoklu Zeka Düzeyleri Arasındaki İlişkinin Belirlenmesi(3.

The graduates from education faculties which have been founded for training of teachers in our country have completed theoretical and practical courses essential for profession of teaching, and have been assigned as teachers. Besides, according to Assignment Regulation of National Education, graduates from higher education can be assigned as teachers on condition that they successfully complete Pedagogic Formation Education which is seen appropriate by Ministry of Education. The Certificate Programs of Pedagogic Formation Education can be initiated at universities having departments of educational sciences with the necessary given permission by Higher Education Institution. When it is taken into consideration that these formation education programs have been run by teaching staff working at education faculties and at departments of educational sciences, the importance for revealing views of teaching staff on these programs is clear. The general purpose of study is to identify the views of teaching staff on Education Programs of Pedagogic Formation. The answers for the below questions have been observed in the study which is conducted within the frame of qualitative research paradigm. “What are your opinions about the Education of Pedagogic Formation?”, “What are the reasons for students taking formation education to participate in these programs?”. The data of study have been gathered by semi-structured interview forms obtained from 35 instructors working at Education Faculty of Sinop University between the years 2017 and 2018. In conclusion of the study, the views of teaching staff have been gathered under two categories as positive and negative. Most of teaching staff have expressed negative opinions for Education of Pedagogic Formation. Amongst these views, the insufficiency of education duration and the increase in the number of unassigned teachers are seen prevalent. On the other hand, according to teaching staff, amongst the reasons for students to attend Pedagogic Formation Education are that the students see profession of teaching as convenient and guaranteed, also as a proper way of increasing their chance to be assigned.Article On Meaning Production Process in Short Stories: A Semiotic Approach to Hwang Sunwon’s ”Cranes”(International Journal of Language Academy, 2018) BÜYÜKKARCI, Orhun; Bulut, TürkaySemiotics, as a signification approach, makes it possible to unfold meaning formation process of the works of art. Each work has an idiosyncratic semantic universe created by the logical systematization of signs. The situation is also valid in the literary world. The impactful interaction of semiotics and literature forms the multidisciplinary approach titled literary semiotics. Meaning production process in the narratives can also be examined through the approach. However, the unique characteristic of rules and concepts of the literary semiotics prevent the implementers to apply it to the analysis of the texts which requires penetrating and explaining various meaning layers to be able to reveal the semantic organization and meaning production process of the texts. Therefore, in this study, the aim is to make the application process and the concepts of semiotics in the analysis of the literary texts more comprehensible. To do that, one of the famous Korean short story has been chosen. The focus is to reveal the meaning production process of the story within the scope of literary semiotics. In the light of the findings gathered from semiotic analysis of the short story “Cranes”, it can be suggested that the story was produced on oppositions of war time. These oppositions can be summarized in the form of leaving homeland/remaining in homeland – life/ death – freedom/captivity, or duty/friendship. Also, the oppositions found out in the end of analysis can be accounted as link between the real life and the text itself.Article The determination of the relationship between sportspersonship orientations and positive thinking levels of the athletes engaged in different sports branches(Horizon Research Publishing, 2018) Tazegül, Ünsal; Esmer, OzanThe aim of this study is to reveal the relationship between sportspersonship orientations and positive thinking levels of the athletes in the team branch. In this study, Multidimensional Sportspersonship Orientation Scale and Positive Thinking Skills Scale were used as data collection tools. Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v20 software package was also used to analyze the data. For analyses of the data, descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation coefficient analysis were applied in the analysis of the data. As a result, it was determined that there is a positive relationship between athletes’ positive thinking scores and adherence to social norms, respect for rules and officials and respect for opponent. © 2018 by authors.
