Balkanlar, Osmanlıların şehir ve medeniyet tasavvurunu uygulamaya koyduğu bölge olmuştur. Osmanlıları bu bölgede kalıcı kılan en önemli saik ise vakıf kurumu olmuştur. Kökeni çok eskilere dayanan vakıf, İslâm medeniyetinin ve Osmanlı Devleti'nin en önemli kurumlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Bu minvalde, Osmanlı Devleti'nin sosyal ve ekonomik yapısını anlamak için vakıf sistemini analiz etmek gerekir. Bu amaçla, Balkanlardan seçilen iki şehrin mukayeseli bir şekilde analizi çalışmanın temelini teşkil edecektir. Bu çalışmada, Vakıflar Genel Müdürlüğü, Yunanistan Makedonya Tarih Arşivi ve Sofya Milli Kütüphane arşivlerinden tespit edilen vakıf belgeleri ışığında Selanik ve Sofya şehirlerinde inşa edilen kültürel alanlara ait vakıf eserlerin ve icra edilen hizmetlerin mukayeseli incelemesi yapılacaktır.

Participation Banks are an alternative financial
institution that contributes to the development and deepening of the financial
system in the Turkish Banking Sector. In this study, the relationship between participation banks,
non-performing loans, gross domestic product, and asset size in the period
2005: Q1-2018: Q2 was investigated by using the co-integration, Granger
causality tests and regression analysis methods. The results of the Granger
causality test show that there is a one-way causality relationship between
non-performing loans to gross domestic product and the gross domestic product
to asset size, but there is a double causality relationship between
non-performing loans and asset size. In the results of empirical analysis, a
statistically significant relationship was found between both gross domestic
product and asset size, and non-performing loans. In this context, it is
determined that there is a negative relationship between non-performing loans
and gross domestic product. On the other hand, it was determined that the asset
size of the participation banking sector increased and the non-performing loans
were affected in the same direction.

When a state collapses due to conflict, civilians may no longer be able to rely on state institutions to provide basic human needs such as food, health, housing and employment. Accordingly, people tend to shift from state-provided services toward family-centered forms of social capital that are especially useful as coping mechanisms in crisis situations. This paper explores the survival strategies of Turkish Cypriot families during the war conditions of 1963/4-74. On the basis of a Key Informant Survey it attempts to empirically document the forms of social capital utilized in wartime. There is a large volume of literature on social capital, but the particular type of social capital of relevance in the Turkish Cypriot case reported below is non-formal type in conditions of war and ethnic conflict.

The purpose of this study is to make a technological and financial forecast for the future construction of similar facilities based on feasibility data from the Istanbul Domestic Waste Incineration and Energy Production Facility, which was constructed to minimize environmental damage and give domestic solid wastes economic value, as opposed to storing and disposing of them. The study examined the initial investment and operating costs of the facility, the repayment time and profitability calculations, the financial and economic profitability of the project, and the cost and internal profitability rates for other waste disposal facilities to be established, in addition to comparisons with conventional waste management systems (storage or composting) and incineration techniques. By separating themselves as much as possible from conventional waste management systems, systems employing technological methods will be more realistic and cost-effective, both financially and in terms of the environment. To meet rising energy demands and lessen reliance on foreign sources, investments in sustainable renewable energy systems other than fossil fuels must be increased now. It is crucial to accelerate and support investments in environmentally friendly energy technologies through their development. This is the first study conducted in Turkey on obtaining energy by burning domestic solid waste as opposed to storing it.
