    Analysis of Hyperreality in the Movies of Inception and Bab’a Aziz
    (2025) Kılıç, Zeynep
    Although it is claimed that the concept of existence has no definition, many different definitions and interpretations have been made by philosophers who have pondered this field throughout history. While most ancient philosophers and scientists were interested in the problem of what existence is and what it is, the essence (origin) of existence was also a matter of curiosity. According to some, the first being or the essence of being was air, water, and fire. According to the others, they are concepts such as ‘One, logos, idea, substance, cogito, perception, monad, object, self, soul, will’ and power. While the problem of knowledge of existence (ontology) goes through many philosophical stages and focuses on it as a research topic, it can be seen that in later stages this focus shifts to what knowledge is and what it is (epistemology). The method of reaching true (absolute) knowledge has varied from age to age. While scientific and transmitted knowledge was popular in ancient times to reach true knowledge, positive science was used as a reference in reaching absolute knowledge in modern and post-modern ages. This scientific method, which centers on experiment and observation, has been accompanied by technical technological developments. While mass media, and in this context, cinema/television based on visuality, gained great momentum after the 19th century, the first impression created by the train of the Lumiere brothers coming towards people was replaced by panic and fear. Therefore, the truth between visuality and reality has been questioned. What is intended to be done in this study is to try to understand the relationship between existence, image, reality, and effect.

    A Hybrid CNN–LSTM Approach for Large-Scale Twitter Sentiment Analysis with Explainable Artificial Intelligence
    (2026) Kılıç, Zeynep; Aslan, Emrah; Özüpak, Yıldırım
    Sentiment analysis of social media data has become an essential research topic due to the widespread use of platforms such as Twitter for expressing public opinion. However, the short, informal, and context-dependent nature of tweets poses significant challenges for accurate sentiment classification. In this study, a comprehensive sentiment analysis framework is proposed using a hybrid Convolutional Neural Network-Long Short-Term Memory (CNN-LSTM) architecture. The proposed model integrates the local feature extraction capability of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) with the sequential and contextual modeling strength of Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks. The framework is evaluated on a large-scale and balanced Twitter dataset containing over 690,000 tweets labeled as positive, negative, and neutral. Multiple deep learning models, including CNN, LSTM, Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (Bi-LSTM), and the proposed CNN-LSTM hybrid model, are systematically compared using standard evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. Experimental results demonstrate that the CNN-LSTM hybrid model achieves the best overall performance, with an accuracy of 97.73%, precision of 97.74%, recall of 96.73%, and an F1-score of 97.73%, outperforming all baseline models. Furthermore, model interpretability is enhanced using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), which reveal that sentiment predictions are driven by semantically meaningful and sentiment-relevant words. The experimental findings suggest that the proposed approach provides a strong balance between predictive performance and interpretability for large-scale Twitter sentiment analysis tasks.

    The Days of Repentance with the True Promise Ideological and Theological Discourse
    (2026) Kılıç, Zeynep
    Israel’s aggressive attitude and behavior, which has lasted almost a century since its establishment in 1948 and before, has spread to almost the entire Middle East region. The process that started with the October 7 Hamas operation, which is the big excuse behind it, now constitutes the perfect version of Israel’s aggressive attitude. The news discourse of this aggressive attitude of Israel, which covers the entire Middle East region (in the context of the social media Instagram page), a cold war tension with Iran, although there are sometimes hot conflicts between them, and the news discourse of the two states are discussed comparatively. In the one-month period of this ongoing process, the ideological and theological dimension of the war is tried to be clarified on the discourse of these two enemy states. This study first begins with the definition of language, which is the means of expression of discourse. Then, what discourse is, which has a cause-and-effect relationship with language, is mentioned. It is clarified how the relationship between news and discourse is and how the ideological/theological discourse in the news discourse occurs. With what discourse these states convey the ideological/theological discourse of a one-month period during the war on the Instagram platform, at macro and micro levels within the framework of Van Dijk’s discourse analysis. is under review

    The Impact of Satellite Broadcasting on Kurdish Language
    (2025) Kılıç, Zeynep
    The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of globalization as becoming ever more influential due to the media. Concepts discussed are the nation-state, globalization, culture, and media culture. First of all, the nation-state emerged on the historical stage. While the nation-state was strengthened its foundations, globalization and the resultant influence of the media broke down and transcended borders, bringing the influence of the nation-state into question. Globalization then became more widely discussed, inevitably impacting the media worldwide. Hence, the media has become a primary tool in achieving globalization. With globalization, media transcends the concept of space and the boundaries of the nation-state. The media impacts multiple nations and cultures simultaneously, as is clearly evident. This study aims to provide general information within the framework of the main themes of the work described and discussed thus far. In addition, the Kurdish press originating abroad and the Kurdish media that came with satellite broadcasting on a global scale is examined. The role of the above factors in the formation of Kurdish identity is touched upon.
