The deep state ranks among the most critical issues in Turkish politics. This book traces its origins and offers an explanation of the emergence and trajectory of the deep state; the meaning and function of informal and authoritarian institutions in the formal security sector of a democratic regime; the involvement of the state in organized crime; armed conflict; corruption; and massive human rights violations.

The contribution of education to overcoming restraints of a personal or cultural nature in transition from traditional farming methods to modern farming methods was studied in a sample consisting of 135 cultivators from Mumbwa & 104 cultivators from Katete, Zambia. The data were taken from the UNZALPI survey of 1968 & 1969. An education index was constructed based on 4 components: schooling, cosmopolite experience, present cosmopolite experience, & training & experience in farming. The education indexes & a General Knowledge Index were correlated with farm production & evidenced significant results. Motivation to use improved methods & adoption of improved methods were studied in relation to the educational factors using multiple regression techniques. The 2 areas in the sample were chosen for the diversity of their characteristics--Mumbwa is culturally more heterogeneous with a higher proportion of educated cultivators, & a higher proportion of Rhodesians. Motivation to adopt modern methods is the critical factor, & motivation to increase output is affected by education & cosmopolitan experiences rather than by adoption of modern practices. 8 Tables.

The abundance and complexity of information now being delivered visually demands that we become visually literate, as well as verbally literate. We need to understand better a process we have taken for granted. In an age increasingly dominated by images – a media culture, it becomes imperative to develop an understanding of how our visual processing system works; how visual cognition is shaped by social, political, and cultural conditioning; and how visual messages are created to elicit specific responses. One of the chief goals of visual literacy education is to encourage critical analysis of visual communication by developing tools that help us understand and manage this complex activity. "Seeing" needs to become an actively conscious, not a passive activity for us. This thesis illustrates the importance of critical visual literacy, provides an historical overview of the visual literacy movement, and suggests a foundational approach to teaching the basics of visual literacy.

This research is descriptive. Sociodemographic data were collected online from 311 special education and other education faculty undergraduate students who voluntarily participated in the study and whose consent was obtained, using a sociodemographic data collection form and the Attitude Scale Towards Braille Writing (ASTBW). In statistical analyses, t test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient were calculated using SPSS 25.0 data analysis software. It was determined that 71.1% of the participants were female and 24.1% were male. About 52.4% of them were students of special education teaching department. According to the mean scores obtained, the participants' beliefs were at a medium level, their interest and desire were at a high level, and their desire to learn was at a very high level. It was found that there were significant differences between the sociodemographic descriptive information of the students in the undergraduate department of special education and other education faculties and their attitudes towards Braille. It was stated that the attitudes of the students in the undergraduate of special education department and other education faculties towards Braille writing varied. It is thought that it will be a guide to conduct research in the related field to include other departments in the faculty of education.
