Abnormal Heart Sound Detection Using Ensemble Classifiers
(IEEE, 2018) Zan, Hasan; Yildiz, Abdulnasir
Phonocardiogram is used for ambulatory diagnostic to assess health status of heart and detect cardiovascular disease. The goal of this study is to develop automatic classification method of PCG recordings collected from different databases and recorded in a different way. For this purpose, after various time and frequency domain features are extracted from PCG recordings obtained from two databases, recordings are subjected to pre-classification in order determine which database they are obtained from. Before final classification, various time, frequency and time-frequency domain features of classified recordings are extracted. These features are fed into four different classification ensembles trained with training dataset. With final decision rule, proposed algorithm achieved an accuracy of 98.9%, a sensitivity of 93.75% and a specify of 99.5%.
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Adolescent Girls Retrospective Study
(Brieflands, 2025) Ozalkak, Servan; Yildirim, Ruken; Karakaya, Amine Aktar; Tas, Funda Feryal; Oncel, Kahraman; Okur, Nurettin; Ozbek, Mehmet Nuri
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common reason for gynecology-related hospital admissions in adolescence. Objectives: The present single-center study aimed to evaluate the diagnosis distribution in adolescents with AUB and to compare the clinical features and treatments of patients with hemoglobin levels below and above 10 g/dL. Methods: The present single-center study retrospectively collected demographic and epidemiological data from adolescents aged 10 - 18 years presenting to our institution with a diagnosis of AUB. Patient data were extracted from electronic medical records and analyzed using SPSS software. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, and interquartile range (IQR), were calculated. Patients were classified according to hemoglobin levels (< 10 g/dL as group 1 and >= 10 g/dL as group 2). Results: Among 167 adolescent patients, 35.9% had hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dL. Hospitalization rates were significantly higher in group 1 (86.4%) compared to group 2 (2.8%) (P < 0.001). The most common causes of AUB were anovulation (84.4%) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (11.4%). The primary treatments included combined oral contraceptives (COCs) with iron supplementation (45.5%) and iron alone (28.7%). Erythrocyte transfusion (ERT) was performed in 18% of cases, predominantly in group 1. This study is limited by the lack of a standardized quality of life assessment tool for AUB. The single-center design and retrospective data collection may limit the generalizability of the findings and introduce selection bias, respectively. Conclusions: Anovulation and PCOS are the main causes of AUB in adolescents. Patients with hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dL and active bleeding should be evaluated carefully, as ERT may be necessary. A wide differential diagnosis should always be considered when managing adolescent AUB.
Abu Ubayd’s Understanding Of Naskh;
(Hitit Univ, 2022) Yasar, Mehmet Aziz; Nas, Taha
In the period when Islamic sciences were formed, a large number ofscholars with absolute ijtihad capacity were trained. One of the scholars mentioned is Abu `Ubayd al- Qasim ibn Sallam al-Khurasani al-Harawi who was educated by many famous scholars of the period, had a great influence on both the scientific and political circles. For this reason, he could not be shared by different sect biographers. As a matter of fact, some Shafi'i tabaqat writers counted Ebu Ubeyd as a follower of Imam Shafii. On the other hand, some Hanbali scholars have mentioned Ebu Ubeyd among the class of Hanbali scholars. However, it was concluded that it would be more correct to see Ebu Ubeyd as an independent mujtahid rather than a follower of any madhhab. For, in his own works, the fact that he refers more to Imam Malik rather than Imam Shafii and Ahmad ibn Hanbal and sometimes refers to the views of Abu Hanifa and Imamey indicates this. Ebu Ubeyd, who came to the forefront with his faqih and muhaddis aspects, had a deep knowledge of the subject of naskh, which has a close relationship with these two sciences, and in this regard, he wrote a rare work called en-Nasih ve'l-mensu. fi'l-kur.ani'l-aziz ve ma fihi mine'l-fera'iz ve's-sunen. While revealing Ebu Ubeyd's understanding of naskh, his work en-Nasi. ve'l-mensu. was used as the main source. In addition to this, his other works related to the subject, especially his work called Kitabu'l- emval, were among the first hand sources that were consulted. It has been tried to determine his approach to naskh based on the statements he made on the subject and the examples he gave in this regard. In this context, Ebu Ubeyd's approach to the nature and framework of naskh and his views on the evidences that can abrogate each other are examined in this study. Ebu Ubeyd discussed the abrogation in a broader sense as "the modification of a shar'i ruling by a later evidence", not the established meaning in the methodology as "removal of a shar'i ruling with a later shar'i proof". In this context, naskh is also used for the allocation of public, the denial of the absolute, the statement of conciseness, the correction of a wrong understanding and the exception made from a general rule. This is known as the understanding of naskh among the companions, tabi`in and early convert scholars. However, although Ebu Ubeyd is at the same age as Imam Shafii and has copied and benefited from his works, it is noteworthy that he preferred the predecessor's approach to the subject rather than the naskh understanding he adopted. It is important to investigate this. He adopted the approach of the public regarding the Shari'a evidences of Ebu Ubeyd that could naskh each other. According to him, the verses of the Qur'an can naskh each other. He gave many examples of this. Another point that draws attention here is to ascribe the concept of naskh used for the verse of the Qur'an by Ebu Ubeyd, from the Lawh-i Mahfuz, in the form of a verse whose recitation is lasting and its meaning is naskhed, and a verse that is removed from people's hearts by canceling both its recitation and used in different meanings. Ebu Ubeyd stated that sunnah can be naskhed with sunnah, without making any distinction between ahad and mutawatir about sunnah and its naskh. However, despite giving many examples of the naskh of the ahad sunnah with its own like, no example has been encountered of the naskh of the ahad sunnah with its own like or with ahad and the ahad sunnah with the mutawatir sunnah. As it can be understood from my statements on the subject, Ebu Ubeyd saw that it is permissible to naskh both mutawatir and ahad sunnah with the Qur'an. However, while there is an example for the naskh of the ahad sunnah with the Qur'an in his related works, there is no example for the other. Although there is no clear statement on the issue that the Qur'an can be naskhed with the sunnah, it is understood from some examples that he gives permission for this.

Accuracy Evaluation of ChatGPT 4.0 in Text Annotation of Turkish Islamic Literature
(Dinbilimleri Akad Araştirma Merkezi, 2024) Cancelik, Ali; Sen, Ihsan; Yakut, Emrullah
This study investigates the application of artificial intelligence, specifically Chat-GPT-4.0, in the field of Turkish Islamic literature with a focus on text annotation and accuracy evaluation. With advancements in machine learning and deep learning algorithms, AI has been utilized across various fields, from education to healthcare, enhancing the depth and speed of analyses traditionally done manually. In this study, ChatGPT-4.0 was employed to interpret a Turkish qasida-a form of classical panegyric poetry dedicated to Sultan Selim I. The research evaluated twenty couplets from the qasida, split into two groups: the first ten were analyzed with directed prompts that focused on the relationship between music and emotion, while the remaining ten were interpreted without guidance, allowing the AIto provide autonomous commentary. The first section of the study focused on a structured approach where specific prompts were used to guide ChatGPT-4.0 in exploring themes of musical symbolism and emotional depth. This guided analysis included topics like "Music and Emotional Expression," "Symbolism of Mehter Music," and "The Emotional Role of the Ney (reed flute) in Ottoman Poetic Traditions." By drawing connections between these themes and the couplets, the AI was encouraged to explore the symbolic associations between certain musical instruments and emotional states. The ney, for example, was interpreted as an instrument conveying melancholy, aligning with its cultural significance in Sufi music. This directed approach led to highly consistent results, with the responses scoring well in terms of factual accuracy, thematic relevance, and clarity. In the second part of the analysis, ChatGPT-4.0 was tasked with interpreting the couplets without directed prompts, allowing for a broader analysis not constrained to any specific themes. Here, the AI adopted a more conceptual approach, exploring general cultural, aesthetic, and emotional aspects rather than focusing solely on musical connections. This autonomy led to varied interpretations that were not always aligned with the intended themes but introduced additional insights. Interestingly, these responses scored higher in clarity and specificity but showed slightly lower scores in factual accuracy and evidence-based support compared to the directed analysis. The results suggest that while AI can independently provide insightful interpretations, directed prompts are beneficial for maintaining thematic focus and analytical consistency in specialized fields like Turkish Islamic literature. Comparing the results from both sections, the study identified distinct strengths and limitations in AI-driven text annotation. The guided analysis underscored the value of prompt engineering for obtaining focused, factually consistent insights, particularly in examining the complex cultural and emotional dimensions of Turkish Islamic literature. For instance, by structuring questions around musical themes, the AI could more effectively generate contextually accurate interpretations. Conversely, the unguided responses illustrated ChatGPT-4.0's potential for producing broader cultural reflections, allowing the model to interpret the couplets through a more diverse lens, though sometimes at the expense of thematic precision. An important aspect of this study was the accuracy evaluation of the AI's responses. For this purpose, a six-criterion framework-Accuracy of Information Index (AOI)-was developed, rating responses on a scale from 0 to 5 based on the following factors: factual accuracy, evidence-based support, clarity, thematic relevance, specificity, and consistency. The results revealed that the guided approach consistently achieved higher scores in factual accuracy, evidence support, and thematic relevance, demonstrating the importance of structured guidance in AI-assisted literary analysis. On the other hand, the unguided section achieved higher clarity and specificity scores, indicating that, while the AI provided more autonomous insights, some interpretations deviated from the intended themes. The study's methodology also included a detailed comparative analysis of sources cited in each section. In the guided analysis, references to Ottoman music and poetry sources, such as works by Turkish musicologists and historians, were integrated into the AI responses to enhance reliability. Citations were provided in APA style, further validating the AI's interpretations. In contrast, the unguided analysis drew more general connections, citing broader literary and historical sources, which, while insightful, occasionally lacked the thematic depth of the guided responses. The research provides a comprehensive overview of how AI, when combined with structured prompts, can effectively contribute to the study of complex literary texts, offering both thematic insights and cultural analysis. This study suggests that artificial intelligence can act as a valuable assistant in Turkish Islamic literature by supporting traditional methods with a systematic, technology-driven approach. However, the findings also caution against over-reliance on AI, as accuracy and thematic relevance can be compromised without proper guidance. For future research, integrating more diverse prompts or refining prompt strategies could enhance the precision and depth of AI-generated insights, enabling scholars to explore Turkish Islamic literature from new perspectives. Ultimately, this study contributes to ongoing discussions on AI's role in the humanities, specifically in analyzing culturally rich texts within Turkish Islamic literature. The research underscores the potential of AI to support and enrich traditional interpretative methods, suggesting that, with the proper guidance, AI tools can aid scholars in making literary works more accessible and interpretable. While AI may not replace human scholarship, it can significantly complement it, allowing researchers to uncover nuanced layers of meaning within classical literature.

Adsorptive Performance of Magnetic Nano-Biosorbent for Binary Dyes and Investigation of Comparative Biosorption
(Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Tarhan, Tuba; Tural, Bilsen; Boga, Kenan; Tural, Servet
The individual and competitive biosorption capacities of Metanil Yellow (MY) and Reactive Black 5 (RB5) by glutaraldehyde cross-linked magnetic chitosan nanoparticles (GMCNs) were studied. Competitive biosorption of the MY and RB5 dyes by the GMCNs has never been reported previously. Fourier transform infrared technique has been used to show the biosorbed MY and RB5 dyes onto GMCNs. During the studies, various essential factors influencing the biosorption, like adsorbate concentration, pH of the solution and contact time have been monitored.The equilibrium was achieved within 17 h for single dyes and 3 h for binary mixture at pH 3. The biosorption capacities were 620 mg/g for dye MY and 2549 mg/g for dye RB5 at pH 3, 30 degrees C. The second-order kinetic model has good compatibility with the dynamical biosorption behavior of a single dye and binary mixture. In order to study the competition biosorption of the RB5 and MY dyes in mixture solutions, the intraparticle diffusion model was used. Competition biosorption through analysis of the intraparticle diffusion model apparently favored the RB5 dye more than the MY dye on the GMCNs in mixture solutions. The biosorbent was regenerated efficiently through the alkaline solution and was then reused ten times for biosorption-desorption cycles.
Ahmed Anzavur: Soldier, Governor, and Rebel. a Reevaluation of a Late Ottoman Military Man
(Oriental Inst Czech Acad Sci, 2023) Yelbasi, Caner
Following the Russian conquest of the North Caucasus, many Muslims from the region were exiled to the Ottoman Empire from the 1860s onwards. They were settled in different parts of the empire from the Balkans to Anatolia to the Syria and Iraq vilayets. By following this policy, the Ottoman state ensured that many Circassians would become part of the Ottoman army, ruling elites, harems and agricultural workforce. Anzavur Ahmed's family was one of them. Although he did not graduate from military school, he participated in the army during the war in Libya (1911), the Balkan Wars (1912-1913), and the First World War (1914-1918). He was also appointed as the governor of Izmit (1920). Anzavur Ahmet is portrayed as a rebel by Turkish official historiography, but in reality, he was much more than that. He was an Ottoman Governor, and supported by Ottoman administrators such as Damad Ferid and Ali Kemal, who were against the Kuvayi Milliye because they believed that the empire would eventually emerge from the chaotic atmosphere of the post-First World War period and make an agreement with the British. This article argues that although Ahmed Anzavur has been labeled a rebel and a traitor according to the official historiography, it is difficult to use these labels given the circumstances of his time.

The Analysis of the Effects of Olfactive Stimulus in Learning in Context of Educational Technology
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Ozdas, Faysal; Yildirim, Bilal; Batdi, Veli; Akpinar, Burhan
When the educational Technologies, which are used in the process of learning-teaching process, are associated with sensory organs, the least used one becomes the olfactive stimuli. Nowadays, because of being foreground of visual-audio Technologies, Positivism is based on vision and audition but it ignores the other senses. Although seeing and hearing play important roles, the ineffectiveness of other senses is delusion in this process. In this delusion the impact of visual-audio Technologic devices from telescope to television, internet, mobile phones is inevitable. However sensation and learning is wholistic and based on togetherness of five senses. Thus, with the delusion olfactive stimulus which is rejected from the educational field is effective on senses, attention, concentration and memory in learning. The purpose of this study, which is in form literature review, is to discuss the nature of olfactive stimulus the effectiveness in education, areas of usage in context of educational technology, to deduce and to make suggestions.

Antioxidant, Ache Inhibitory, and Anticancer Effects of Verbascum Thapsus Extract
(CMB Assoc, 2023) Zhang, Na; Baran, Ayse; Valioglu, Ferzane; Teng, Lei; Atalar, Mehmet Nuri; Keskin, Cumali; Beilerli, Aferin
Verbascum thapsus (Mullein) is a medicinal plant used in folk medicine to treat various ailments. For this study, the biological functions of Verbascum thapsus (VT) methanol extract were determined in vitro. The plant's methanol extract was created through the maceration process. The phytochemical composition of plant extracts was investigated using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. The antioxidant capacity of the extract was determined using the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazil (DPPH radical) and 2,2-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS radical). Cell lines Caco-2 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells), LNCaP (Lymph Node Carcinoma of Prostate), and HEK293 (Human embryonic kidney 293 cells) were used to model colon, prostate, and non-cancerous cells. The cytotoxic activity of the plant extract on the proliferation of these cells was determined by the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide, a tetrazole) assay protocol. VT extract showed moderate DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities at 30 mg/ml concentration. With this, VT extract was determined to inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme and had strong cytotoxic activity on cancerous cell lines. In addition, our findings clearly showed that the plant extract had greater cytotoxic activity on the viability of cancerous cells compared to non-cancerous (Human embryonic kidney cells; HEK293) cells. The current findings showed that V. thapsus might be a promising anti-cancer medication candidate for the treatment of human colorectal adenocarcinoma and colon cancer, as well as a good source antioxidans.

Arap Edebiyatı Tarihi Yazımının Kuramsal ve Metodolojik Temelleri
(Hitit Univ, 2024) Simsek, Sultan; Araz, Ismail
The writing of literary history as a scientific discipline was initiated by Western researchers in the late 18th century, as a result of a modern research endeavor, distinct from the long-standing tradition of literary works. In the modern era, firstly the literature of the history of nations was written. Arabic literary history also benefited from this process, and it is considered one of the earliest examples of literary historiography. In the second half of the 19th century, the works of writers such as Hammer Purgstall (d. 1856) and Alfred von Kremer (d. 1889) on the history of Arabic literature emerged as pioneering studies. The writing process accelerated with Carl Brockelmann's (d. 1956) comprehensive work, leading to the production of numerous Arabic literary history books in both the West and the East, continuing to the present day. While this process contributed to enriching the literature of literary history, it also sparked various theoretical and methodological debates. Since the 19th century, different approaches have been proposed in the writing of Arabic literary history, and there is no theoretical unity in this regard. This situation, which complicates the understanding and interpretation of literary history works, poses an obstacle to developing literary history writing based on scientific criteria. To benefit greatly from reading literary history books, it is crucial to know the authors' perspectives, approaches to the subject, and methods. Aware of this importance, our article focuses on the theoretical and methodological framework used in studies of Arabic literary history. The article examines the writing theories and methods that are often not clearly and explicitly expressed by the authors in the writing of Arabic literary history. However, philosophical differences between the East and the West in literary historiography, the relationship between literature and history, criteria for determining periods, and the ideal method for writing literary history, which is beyond the scope of the article, are not discussed. The main aim of the article is to provide information about the methods and theories applied in Arabic literary history writing, to raise the awareness of researchers about the background of works in this field, offer a more informed reading perspective, and draw attention to the many aspects of the subject that still await further study. Today, despite the numerous studies on Arabic literary history that focus on specific periods, literary figures, and genres, research on theoretical approaches and methodology is almost nonexistent, leaving a significant gap in the field. Our article can be considered a modest step toward filling this gap. To substantiate the conclusions reached in the article, descriptive methods of qualitative research were employed throughout the study, and the obtained data were evaluated by using analytical methods. In this context, the emergence of Arabic literary history and its transmission to the Eastern world were highlighted to provide a better understanding of the scope of the subject. The article discusses how writing of literature history was applied among Arabic literary historians as a theoretical and methodological problem during this transmission process from the West to the East, based on primary sources. At this point, the methodological foundations and areas of influence in Arabic literary history writing were discussed. Additionally, the most widely adopted literary history method and its implications among the methodological problems were examined. As a result of the evaluations, it was determined that the methods followed in the writing of Arabic literary history were highly diverse and that some methods were synthesized. The article concludes that there is a need for indepth new research to evaluate holistically the accumulated knowledge in this area, given the diverse methods employed by literary historians, the complex and multifaceted nature of the field, and the lack of consensus on a single method.

Architecture in Crisis Exception as a Form of Decay
(Pontificia Univ Catolica Chile, Escuela Arquitectura, 2016) Tan, Pelin
Although Agamben defines the camp (concentration or refugees camp) as the paradigm of the state of exception, this statement overlooks not only the physical and spatial conditions of the camp, but also everyday practices that take place inside. Analyzing the spatial practices in current refugee camps in Turkey, the text shows that its design often forgets the very humanity of the refugee.
Artificial Intelligence Threats Against Family and Religion: Proposed Solutions Through the Lenses of Sunnah
(Şırnak Univ, 2025) Kiransal, Abdulaziz
This study examines the multidimensional threats posed by rapidly advancing artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to the family unit and religious values within it, through the normative framework of the Sunnah, and offers solution-oriented proposals. AI is evaluated not only as a technical development but also as an ideological tool that, shaped by a transhumanist philosophical background, transforms religious values, privacy, gender roles, and perceptions of parenthood. Threats emerging from data-driven, algorithmic, and philosophical levels include the erosion of religious values in the family, violations of privacy, the transformation of traditional gender roles, and the systematic marginalization of Islamic references. The findings reveal that AI operates not only as a technical mechanism but also as an ideological agent that reshapes the structure of the family. Accordingly, the study proposes concrete strategies from the perspective of Islamic values, based on the Sunnah of the Prophet, in response to the threats AI poses to the family unit, aiming to fill a significant gap in the existing literature. Indeed, academic studies that offer concrete solutions to AI-induced threats against the family are quite limited. The study employs a qualitative analysis method based on literature review, examining current studies on the effects of AI technologies on the family unit, and evaluates these effects in light of the fundamental principles found in the Sunnah of the Prophet. In particular, fundamental tenets and principles safeguarded by the Sunnah-such as privacy, modesty, morality, marriage, and fidelity-are interpreted in line with the higher objectives of Islamic law, including the protection of life, property, intellect, lineage, and religion. Within this framework, the study introduces novel and innovative proposals such as the "AI Family Ethics Charter," "AI-Based Family Filter Programs" and "AI Awareness Education Programs."
Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Fusarium Root Rot Response in Turkish Bread Wheat
(Springer, 2025) Sesiz, Ugur; Elis, Seval; Kizilgeci, Ferhat; Yildirim, Mehmet; Palacioglu, Gulsum
Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of bread wheat germplasm is essential for effective breeding and conservation strategies. This study evaluated 96 bread wheat genotypes from Turkiye-including advanced lines, commercial cultivars, and landraces-using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) and inter-Primer Binding Site (iPBS) retrotransposon markers. Six SCoT and four iPBS primers generated 81.32% and 75.59% polymorphic bands, respectively, producing clear and reproducible profiles. The average polymorphism information content was 0.19 for both marker systems, with resolving power values of 3.13 (SCoT) and 2.35 (iPBS). Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into two major clusters with 41% overall similarity. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) clearly illustrated the genetic differentiation among the genotypes. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that 69% of genetic variation was distributed within populations. Pathogenicity assays revealed differential disease responses among 21 genotypes to Fusarium culmorum isolate, with the cultivar Empire exhibiting moderate resistance. SCoT and iPBS markers effectively revealed genetic variation and supported the exploitation of promising genotypes for resistance breeding. The identification of genetically distinct and moderately resistant genotypes underscores the potential of Turkish wheat germplasm to support future breeding efforts.

Bioarchaeology and Funerary Practices at the Syriac Orthodox Cemetery of Mor Yaqub Churchyard, Nusaybin, Turkey
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Acar, Ayse
The Syriacs have been, until recently, an important part of the socio-cultural life in the Mardin region. This study evaluates the burial customs of the Syriac Orthodox from the human skeletal remains found during excavations at the Mor Yaqub churchyard cemetery in Nusaybin, in south-east Turkey. The excavations were carried out in 2013, directed by the Mardin Archaeological Museum as part of its Culture and Faith Park Project. As part of the project the burial traditions of the Syriac community from the past to the present were investigated. Macroscopic bioarchaeological excavation techniques were followed and 33 graves were unearthed. There appear to be 66 individuals: 43 adults, 23 infants and juveniles. Of the adults: 11 are female; 14 are male; the remaining 18 are unsexed. Multiple burial customs have been observed from the graves examined. This study illustrates that the burial customs of the Syriac Orthodox have passed from generation to generation, surviving even until today.

Bloodless Executions in the Seljukid State Tradition: The Procedures and Principles of Choking With Bowstring and Drawing Iron Rod To Eyes
(Selcuk Univ, Fac Letters, 2025) Selcukoglu, Ahmet
In medieval sources, two popular liquidation methods are mentioned that were frequently applied by Turkish nations, especially in the context of sovereignty conflicts: Strangling with a bowstring and pulling a hot iron rod to the eyes. In the steppe law, the red lines regarding not shedding the blood of the dynasty members brought to the forefront alternative methods for dealing with the defeated opponent, and strangulation was used as a functional execution method because it achieved the goal without shedding blood. Although the strangling process is carried out with different tools and techniques, bows, one of the most important instruments of Turkish daily life, are the most frequently used tools for this purpose. Among the Turkish states, the Seljuks were one of the states that most frequently used the punishment of strangulation with a bowstring and carried this ancient steppe custom to distant areas of domination. However, after the Seljuks' interaction with Iran, Anatolia and the Islamic world, a different method of elimination began to become more popular and was frequently used in struggles for dominance. In this execution method, which is described in the sources as drawing an iron rod into the eyes, the aim was to heat a long stick called "mil" in the fire and hold it to the eyes from a certain distance, thus causing the victim to lose his ability to see. This article aims to examine the practices of strangulation with a bowstring and drawing a hot iron rod to the eyes, which are frequently mentioned as a type of bloodless execution in the sources, within the context of logic, method and technique within the framework of the Turkish steppe law and sovereignty concept using examples from the Seljuk period.
