Visuals, are significant instructional tools that facilitate children's learning, provide an aesthetic perspective, and contribute to classroom management. This study investigated preschool classroom visuals on walls from the perspective of preschool teachers. The data was collected from 58 preschool teachers working in Ankara by using the Demographic Information Form and Classroom Visuals Questionnaire developed for this study. The data were analyzed with content analysis qualitatively. This study has found that generally, the visuals used in preschool classrooms mainly display children's works, basic concepts, and classroom rules. There are limited visuals representing diversity, especially for people with special needs and most of the teachers use visuals related to diversity and people with special needs during special days and weeks. Finally, the majority of static and non-static visuals are created by the teachers for their classrooms. The findings of this study, which provide a snapshot of classroom visuals from the perspective of preschool teachers, yield interventionists and researchers who work on classroom environments and learning methods, emphasizing the importance of visuals in the development, and learning of young children.

Sugar, which causes political tensions, has been the subject of many studies in the history of Turkey. Especially, the first half of the 1930s was a period when this tension was felt the most and the problem was brought to the newspapers and the parliament. The year 1935, when the sugar companies were merged, was a turning point in terms of the debates. The new company established as a result of the merger and the price reduction created a strong legitimization ground for the government. Nowadays, the issue of merger is frequently analyzed in studies on sugar companies. Even today, it is possible to see the affirmative power of the legitimacy ground created in these studies dominated by a developmentalist language. However, the 'merger text' that is the source of the studies in the literature does not have a legal record. Moreover, Law No. 2785, the only legal regulation associated with price cuts and mergers, is neither related to prices nor to mergers. This study argues that the merger of sugar companies was a de facto capitalization transaction, a bargain-based financial operation carried out in the informal field. The illusion created by the aforementioned unrelated law provided a perception of legitimacy to the extent that it rendered invisible the informal bargain with the shareholders of the companies, while on the one hand, it ensured a price decrease accompanied by strict measures. This informal bargaining process, in which the value increases achieved through capitalization were redistributed among shareholders, was formalized through the establishment of Türkiye Şeker Fabrikaları A.Ş.
导致政治紧张局势的糖一直是土耳其历史上许多研究的主题。特别是，20世纪30年代上半叶是这种紧张关系最强烈的时期，问题被带到报纸和议会。1935年，两家制糖公司合并，这是争论的转折点。合并后成立的新公司和降价为政府创造了强大的合法性基础。目前，糖业企业并购问题是糖业企业研究的热点问题。即使在今天，也可以看到这些研究中创造的合法性基础的肯定力量，这种力量由发展主义语言主导。然而，作为文献中研究来源的“合并文本”没有法律记录。此外，第2785号法是唯一与降价和合并有关的法律规定，它既与价格无关，也与合并无关。本研究认为，糖业公司的合并实际上是一种资本化交易，是在非正式领域进行的一种以讨价还价为基础的金融操作。上述不相关的法律造成的错觉提供了一种合法性的感觉，以至于它使与公司股东的非正式交易变得不可见，而一方面，它确保了价格下降，同时采取了严格的措施。这种通过资本化实现的价值增加在股东之间重新分配的非正式谈判过程，通过建立 rkiye Şeker fabrikalaryi A.Ş而正式化。

Although the home working model, which started in the general directorates at first and then emerged in the branches in the banking sector, has some advantages, it disrupts the work-life balance of individuals in the long run. Thus, the present study focused on the moderating role of professional self-efficacy in the relationship between the perceived organizational support and work-life balance of women employed in private banks operating in Turkey and working from home. To this end, data were collected from 403 female private bank employees by the survey method and tested with the help of the Smart PLS 3 analysis program. According to the study findings, women's professional self-efficacy beliefs play a moderating role in the relationship between perceived organizational support and work-life balance. This relationship has been ignored in the literature. Therefore, this study enriches the content related to organizational support theory and social cognitive theory by investigating the relationship between perceived organizational support, professional self-efficacy, and work-life balance in women working in the banking sector from home and thus contributes to theory and practice.

This paper focuses on the use of microsimulation methodology to generate reliable population estimations for Türkiye. Microsimulation closely mimics life course dynamics and is therefore well-suited for predicting demographic changes. Using data from the 2018 Türkiye Demographic Health Survey, we developed a new microsimulation method that allows for greater customization and accuracy without relying on external patterns or models. The resulting population simulation includes age, education, marital status, usual residence, and labour force status for each individual until 2030. Our study demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of microsimulation for demography and argues that it provides a coherent and meaningful way to estimate and project population attributes that other tools cannot provide. Ultimately, the dynamic simulation model has the potential to inform important policy decisions related to the population in Türkiye.

During the birth of the Turkish nation-state as a republic, sports became one of the dynamics of social transformation, and physical training and sports were described as a “case” in this period. The goal of this study is to reveal the role the journal of the Turkish Sport Association in the concretization and dissemination of the ideology of the regime. The study’s theoretical foundations are based on Althusser’s theory of the “ideological apparatus of the state”. The magazine published by this institution between 1936 and 1938 became the spokesperson of the official ideology in sports. This qualitative study, which explores the meanings and obligations attributed to sports in the Early Republic Period and the ways in which those messages were propagated throughout society, employed the descriptive analytic approach. The study reveals that sports in the magazine serve to embody and spread the official ideology through nationalism, which is one of the basic principles of the Republic; the “new woman” as the symbol of the Republic; and the relationship of the state with population-national defense, which is one of the most important problems of the state.

Companies are undergoing a process of change in all organizational processes along with digital transformation processes. Mobile devices are increasingly entering people’s daily lives as different smart devices and educational processes in the form of mobile learning. These developments in the field of technology are also effective in companies involved in the digital transformation process. These trends in developed countries are also becoming widespread in developing countries. In this study 109 managers working in a well-known company in the restaurant sector in Turkey to mobile learning processes and the factors affecting their readiness for mobile learning were examined. A partial least squares (PLS) path modeling approach is employed to examine relationships using SmartPLS 3. As a result of the analyses, facilitating conditions and social influence variables were found to have a positive effect on the behavioral intention during the acceptance process of managers’ mobile learning. In addition, it was found that among the control variables, there was a statistically significant difference only for time spent on the Internet with a smartphone. These results are generally consistent with the findings in the literature. This situation simultaneously draws attention to the future potential of mobile learning in terms of companies in our country in the context of digital transformation. With the implementation of this study in different sectors, the awareness of this issue in our country can be increased.

As a representative form of popular culture, the continuation of advice letters written by the agony aunts in newspapers can demonstrate society's needs. Despite its commonality in everyday life, advice can be termed as a ‘complex and interesting speech act’ (Hyland and Hyland 2012) since sometimes it does not end in one sentence like other speech acts (e.g., requesting, apologies and thanking) (Trosborg 1995). Based on data from a collection of 100 advice letters written by the Turkish agony aunt gathered from the years 2020-2021, a textual meta discursivee analysis of advice letters is conducted to evaluate the types and frequencies of textual markers to find out how the agony aunt utilizes these textual elements to put forward her arguments. The findings reveal that 1) logical markers are extremely essential for persuading advice seekers and 2) adversatives and additives are necessary for providing a logical basis when advising advice seekers. The paper concludes by indicating that textual markers are essential for persuading advice seekers and potential readers when giving advice.
作为大众文化的一种代表形式，报纸上持续不断的“知心大妈”劝谏信可以反映社会的需求。尽管建议在日常生活中很常见，但它可以被称为一种“复杂而有趣的言语行为”(Hyland and Hyland 2012)，因为有时它不像其他言语行为(如请求、道歉和感谢)那样以一句话结束(Trosborg 1995)。根据从2020-2021年收集的100封土耳其知心大姐写的建议信的数据，对建议信进行了文本元话语分析，以评估文本标记的类型和频率，以了解知心大姐如何利用这些文本元素提出她的论点。研究结果表明:1)逻辑标记对于说服建议寻求者至关重要;2)在建议寻求者时，助剂和添加剂对于提供逻辑基础是必要的。文章最后指出，在给出建议时，文本标记对于说服建议寻求者和潜在读者是必不可少的。

The current study deals with e-feedback delivered to the students in higher education during COVID19 pandemic. The data comes from e-feedback delivered to the students in a departmental compulsory course at the department of English language in a state university. Data analysis is conducted in two stages. First, the e-feedbacks classified into three categories regarding the feedback moves by Hyland and Hyland (2012). In the second stage, the categories coded by the two researchers were transferred to SPSS, with the aim of finding out the frequently employed speech act employed by the instructor while giving e-feedback to students. In addition, chi-square test was also conducted to see whether there are significant differences in speech act groups according to the level of success in the study. The findings indicated that the instructor prefers to give e-feedback to unsuccessful students than successful ones using different groups of speech acts such as praise and criticism. Another finding of the study shows that criticism and praise were the most frequently used feedback patterns in our data while suggestion and other feedback acts did not occur frequently. Overall, the study shows the importance of instructor-based e-feedback for academic writing.

The means of meeting people's needs are changing day by day. For example, the need for transportation has been provided by various vehicles until today and user satisfaction has always been taken into account. However, with the development of technology and the change in the way of meeting human needs, the level of acceptance and use of products by consumers has also changed. Scooters developed to provide ease of transportation can also be seen as a part of this change. Within the scope of the study, it was investigated at what level female participants used e-scooter technology to meet their transportation needs and at what level they accepted this technology. The factors affecting women's adoption of e-scooters are discussed in the context of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The relationship between the perceived safety factor within the scope of the study and the behavioural intention to use the e-scooter could not be measured. However, there are direct and indirect relationships between social impact, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and environmental sensitivity, and behavioural intention. As a result, inferences were made regarding the factors affecting the use of e-scooter by women. Suggestions were made for further studies on the subject.

For example, the need for transportation has been provided by various vehicles until today and user satisfaction has always been taken into account. However, with the development of technology and the change in the way of meeting human needs, the level of acceptance and use of products by consumers has also changed. Scooters developed to provide ease of transportation can also be seen as a part of this change. Within the scope of the study, it was investigated at what level female participants used e-scooter technology to meet their transportation needs and at what level they accepted this technology. The factors affecting women's adoption of e-scooters are discussed in the context of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). The relationship between the perceived safety factor within the scope of the study and the behavioural intention to use the e-scooter could not be measured. However, there are direct and indirect relationships between social impact, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness and environmental sensitivity, and behavioural intention. As a result, inferences were made regarding the factors affecting the use of e-scooter by women.
