Kann es eine Islamfeindlichkeit ohne die Religion des Islam geben? Naime Cakir zeigt, dass nicht allein die Terroranschläge des 11. September 2001 für die zunehmenden antiislamischen Vorurteile und Feindbilder in Deutschland verantwortlich sind, sondern auch die Erkenntnis, dass die ehemaligen Gastarbeiter ihren Lebensmittelpunkt auf Dauer in die Bundesrepublik verlegt haben und nun für sich beanspruchen, Objekt von Verantwortung zu sein. Damit waren für die Residenzgesellschaft und für die Einwanderer die etablierten Rollen des Gastgebers und des Gastes irritiert. Die Studie zeichnet nach, wie der Islam zum Gegenstand öffentlicher Anerkennungskonflikte gemacht worden ist, da es einer Neujustierung der Rollen innerhalb des Gesellschaftsgefüges bedurfte, die die Marginalisierung der mittlerweile etablierten Einwanderer weiterhin zu gewährleisten hatte. Can there be an anti-Islamic sentiment in the absence of Islam? Naime Cakir demonstrates that the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001 alone fail to explain the growing anti-Islamic prejudice and enemy stereotyping in Deutschland, but, critically, so does the perception that former guest workers have transferred their permanent domicile to the Federal Republic of Germany and now demand to be received as responsible, thereby unsettling the established roles of host and guest for the resident society and immigrants, respectively. The study traces how Islam was rendered the object of official conflicts of recognition, since it required a realignment of the roles inside the societal framework, which necessarily ensured the continued marginalization of the meanwhile established immigrant.

Çokkültürlülük, Batı toplumları bağlamında kültürel ve dini çeşitliliğe yanıt vermek için kapsayıcı ve uzlaşmacı çözümler ortaya koyar. Will Kymlicka gibi liberal çokkültürcüler, kültürel kimliğin/aidiyetin liberal teori ve insan hakları paradigmasıyla normatif ilişkisini ortaya koyan öncülerdir. Bu çalışma, Kymlicka'nın kültürel pratiği bir hak olarak meşrulaştıran liberal anlayışı yeniden değerlendirmesini inceleyecektir. Kymlicka, cemaatlerin ve grupların bireyin özel ve kamusal yaşamı için önemini vurgularken insan haklarının hayata geçirilmesinin özünde azınlık haklarıyla ve kültürel haklarla bağlantılı olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Kymlicka, ulusal ve etnik kültürün önemini yalnızca bireyler üzerindeki etkisinin bir sonucu olarak ele aldığı için onun kültürel uyum için öne sürdüğü liberal çokkültürlülük anlayışı bireyselcidir. Bu çalışma, Kymlicka'nın liberal çokkültürlülük anlayışının kültürel uyum bağlamında insan hakları söylemini nasıl genişlettiğini ortaya koyacaktır.

Turkey reported its first COVID-19 case on March 10, 2020. We present here the mitigation efforts Turkey has undertaken so far, and also review the lessons learned for future proactive strategies. High number of intensive care unit beds and ventilators, national treatment algorithms, governmental support for free testing and medications, tedious contact-tracing with early detection and isolation of cases together with early shelter-in-place for the elderly and youngsters, and subsequent weekend curfews in selected cities have so far prevented the surge pressure on the health care system. At this phase, Turkey needs to adopt an evidence-based, proactive control system for an effective transition process to normalize the situation. Here, we underline the urgent need for detailed analysis of the national COVID-19 data and propose an epidemiologic investigation framework for better understanding, efficient control, and reliable forecasting of COVID-19 pandemic.

The starting point of this study was to understand the possible causes of evaluation system change in a military academic environment. With that motivation the objectives of this study were defined as examining student profiles in a military academy, establishing the nature of academic performance, comparing student groups that were identified by course scores, analyzing student performance changes over time and developing a manageable evaluation system and curriculum by comparing different scenarios. An analysis was performed on the literature on academic performance prediction, cluster analysis methodologies and their development, and specifically summarized cluster analytic academic performance studies where these two fields intersected. The study started with data collection, database creation and preparation for clustering and simulation studies. A two step clustering methodology was used for grouping courses and cadets. The validated cluster distributions were used as inputs into simulation study. The simulation study started with modeling cadet movements among clusters over stages. The distribution of clusters was found for each course and the scores were transferred into grades using information gathered from historic data. A new evaluation system design procedure was summarized starting with benchmark examples. Then a simulation was used for the evaluation of new system design settings. Assumptions of the simulation study were evaluated. Parameter settings and decision variables were defined and simulation experiments were conducted and results were interpreted by output analysis. The study concludes with a summary of possible outcomes for alternative system designs. During this study it was observed that academic performance is affected by many cognitive noncognitive and demographic variables. Complex human behavior and its interactions with educational environment make it unpredictable. Though, any curriculum or evaluation system development study should focus on these differences and the difficulties due to variation among students.
