Sense of Social Exclusion of Secondary School Students Living in Orphanages

Orphanages are the places where all needs of children in need of protection are met. The financial needs of children who are in need of protection are met by the government. But in addition to children’s protection and sheltering needs, they are in need of socialization and taking an active role in society as well. Social integration of children in orphanages is a matter for all society. Accordingly it is possible to see social exclusion and antisocial behaviours when socialization does not occur. In this study, sense of exclusion of secondary school students living in orphanages was investigated. A total of 100 secondary school students living in Aksaray, Konya, Kayseri and Kirsehir orphanages are included in this descriptive survey model study. The data were collected via the scale developed by Ocal and Altinok (2011). Surveys were administered by the researchers themselves. SPSS was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study are important in terms of indicating social exclusion level of children living in orphanages.

Obstacles for Teachers to Participate in Organizations Effectively

Civil organizations, while trying to save and develop their member's social and economic rights they also produce service about their occupational education and psychological needs. To be organized, is a necessity not only person but also people who hold administration. In this research, which is aimed to search obstacles for teachers to participate in organizations effectively, survey method was used and the thoughts of teachers and managers in Kayseri were asked. According to the results, teachers and managers who are working cannot participate occasional and civilian organizations effectively. Generally, teachers and managers hasn't got enough conscious of occasional and civilian organizations and also they think that being a member of an organization can be seen as being close to a political movement. Also, they share the idea that supports organizations cannot solve occasional problems and there isn't enough safety atmosphere to have organizational thoughts and movements. It is seen that just like all the other administrative and occasional movements, organizational movements also need safety atmosphere. They share the doubt that in the previous years there was lots of negative experiences for the organizational movements and also not having modern organizations which give the right of strike and collective agreement is a problem for them. It is necessary for the government to understand the meaning and importance of organizations and try to solve the problems of especially modern organizations, to support legal civilian attacks and organizational movements.

TOCUSO: Test of Conceptual Understanding on High School Optics

Physics educators around the world often need reliable diagnostic materials to measure students’ understanding of physics concept in high school. The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new diagnostic tool on High School Optics concept. Test of Conceptual Understanding on High School Optics (TOCUSO) consists of 25 conceptual items that measures fundamental topics learned in high school curriculum. TOCUSO was designed with the use of various Optics textbooks, Turkish University exam questions, and questions generated by the author. TOCUSO items were structured as multiple-choice questions. 12 physics faculty members at the school of science and education validated questionnaire items. SPSS program was utilized to calculate reliability values of the test. KR-20 value was found around 0.73, which shows TOCUSO is a reliable measurement questionnaire. TOCUSO was applied to 183 high school students enrolled in 10th grade at the time of data collection process in Kayseri providence in Turkey.

LEGISLATION OF CONSTRUCTION WASTE CONCEPT AND A CASE STUDY AT A READY MIXED CONCRETE PLANT

Supply of the facilities like clean water, shelters, transportation is fundamental construction activities which are required for the survival of the humankind. Efficient and effective use of required resources and waste management activities are also the responsibility of the authorities like; contractors, subcontractors who undertake these activities and application of resource and waste management approaches during construction activities has important environmental impacts. Thus, European Union (EU) legislations and applications in Turkey are investigated in this study together with the general knowledge about waste concept and waste management in construction. Additionally, waste management procedures of a ready-mixed concrete plant in Kayseri, was investigated as a case study.

The photogrammetric modeling of Kayseri Hizir Ilyas Mansion

One of the provisions for being a modern country is to preserve its history and exhibit that history to the service of humanity. The preservation of ‘cultural heritage’ created directly by humans or together with nature should be the joint effort of the whole of humanity. Historical artifacts may be damaged or totally destroyed due to neglect or various natural disasters. To maintain history from the past to the present, it is necessary to determine, document, repair and preserve the current situation of these historical artifacts. Different techniques are used in the documentation of cultural heritages in parallel with technological developments. Digital terrestrial photogrammetry has become a particularly important method used in this field in recent years. This study carried out a photogrammetric survey of Hizir Ilyas Mansion, situated in the town of Erkilet in the Kocasinan district of Kayseri. The mansion is situated on a tumulus, presumably built in the Hittites era in 2000 B.C. This mansion is a prominent artifact of Seljuk civil architecture and is presumed to have been built by a person named Ilyas in the 13th century. Photogrammetric measurements of the Hizir Ilyas Mansion were conducted with the digital terrestrial photogrammetry method. Scaled drawings, three-dimensional (3D) outline drawing and 3D photo models of the mansion were acquired from the measurements. This study shows that digital terrestrial photogrammetry provides great convenience in documentation studies regarding the maintenance of cultural and historical heritage; field surveys take a short time and all other work can be completed in the office. This study shows that documentation studies can be completed quickly and cheaply with digital terrestrial photogrammetry and also demonstrates that scaled archiving of historical and cultural heritage could be conducted digitally and 3D models could be obtained. In addition, 3D animation of the mansion was constructed from “AVI” format video files after the photogrammetric assessment. Key words: Hizir Ilyas mansion, photogrammetry, documentation, Kayseri, cultural heritage.

The Silver Coinage of Roman Syria Under the Julio-Claudian Emperors

Analyses of 71 Roman provincial silver coins of the Julio-Claudian emperors (27 BC–AD 68) minted at Caesarea in Cappadocia and Antioch and Tyre in Syria are discussed in this paper. The finenesses of the alloys are presented and it is proposed that there was a logical relationship between the standards used for Caesarea and Antioch. Trace element profiles and selected lead isotope analyses help to characterize the products of the different mints, and also demonstrate that one particular issue of coinage, normally attributed to a mint in Syria, was probably produced at Caesarea in Cappadocia. During this period minting of silver at Tyre was discontinued and trace elements suggest that some of the later Antiochene coinage may have been produced from recycled Tyrian silver.

ON DISTRIBUTION AND CONSERVATION STATUS OF Neurergus kaiseri (CAUDATA: SALAMANDRIDAE)

Newts of the genus Neurergus in south-western Iran are amongst the least known amphibian taxa in the country. Since 1975, few scientific record have reported for Neurergus kaiseri . Morphological characteristics and habitat preferences of Neurergus kaiseri have been described from Taleh Zang stream in southern Zagros Mountains, Iran, in an area not previously known as a habitat for this newt. In the stream, where the newt was found channel substrate, channel width, adjacent riparian plant community type, and land use practice were determined. Visual estimates were made of percent channel substrate composition showed that this newt more often (45%) occupies aquatic microenvironments with substrate of pebbles and fine texture. Various factors threatening this species including lack of suitable highland streams, presence of a cyprinid fish ( Barbus sp.) which is known to prey upon eggs and larvae of the amphibians and also illegal collecting and trade are discussed.

Complaints About Avâriz Assessment and Payment in the Avâriz-tax System: An Aspect of the Relationship Between Centre and Periphery. A Case Study of Kayseri, 1618-1700

AbstractThis paper on complaints about avâriz assessment and payment relies on the şer'iyye sicils of Kayseri. It begins by reviewing the traditional Near Eastern concept of State Justice in conjunction with the archival evidence. By examining the court cases and the imperial orders in these sicils it is possible for us to assess how the Ottoman judicial system and central administration dealt with the complaints and alleged corruption regarding the avâriz levies in the province of Kayseri throughout the seventeenth century. It is also possible to see how common people fought with rising problems in the avâriz system, or how they sought justice, and to what degree they knew what was their legal right and what not by examining the sicils themselves. The result of this examination will help to revise a number of misconceptions regarding complaints in the Ottoman Empire- a study of complaints from the sicils may yield a certain insight into the nature of the relationship between the centre and periphery. Cet article sur les plaintes concernant le calcul et le paiement de l'impôt avâriz est fondé sur les şer'iyye sicils de Kayseri. Il débute par l'étude du concept traditionnel de l'État de Justice au Proche Orient en relation avec les données trouvées dans les archives. En examinant les procès et les ordres impériaux dans ces sicils , il nous sera possible d'établir comment, à la fois le système judiciaire et l'administration centrale de l'Empire ottoman, ont traité les plaintes et la supposée corruption concernant le prélèvement de l'impôt avâriz dans la province de Kayseri tout au long du XVIIème siècle. Il nous sera alors possible, en exploitant les documents contenus dans les sicils, de voir comment la population luttait contre les problèmes croissants dans le système avâriz, comment elle avait recours à la justice et dans quelle mesure elle connaissait ses droits légaux. Les résultats de cette analyse permettront de réviser un certain nombre d'idées fausses à propos des plaintes dans l'Empire ottoman; de même, l'étude de ces plaintes pourra éventuellement donner une certaine idée de la nature des liens entre le centre et la périphérie.

The Gerzeul hoard of coins of Caesarea of Cappadocia (in the Museum of Abkhazia)

Summary. — The article discusses the Abkhazian Museum's part of the Gerzeul hoard of silver coins of Caesarea in Cappadocia discovered in 1926 in the the Suhumi district of Abkhazia. The Gerzeul Hoard, consisting of more than 467 silver coins, of which 91 were purchased by the Museum, was deposited under Marcus Aurelius, probably during the eastern campaigns of Lucius Verus, in the period between AD 163, when the Romans confirmed Sohaemus as king of Armenia, and AD 168, during the revolt of Tiridates, or sometime later.

Die alten Viten des heiligen Mamas von Kaisareia Mit einer Edition der Vita BHG 1019

According to the earliest tradition St. Mamas of Caesarea in Cappadocia, a young shepherd of Mount Argaios, was martyred during the reign of Emperor Aurelian. In competition with this version the so-called aristocratic Vita was composed in which Mamas was a noble child of a senator family who was condemned to death by the Emperor himself. The so-called encyclical Vita BHL 5191d arose on the basis of the original Passio of Mamas by the addition of a short introduction, while the Vita BHG 1019 is the result of the combination of the Passio and the aristocratic Vita.

The miracle De juvene qui Christum negaverat in the pseudo-Amphilochian Vita Basilii and its Slavonic adaptations

The miracle De juvene qui Christum negaverat in the pseudo-Amphilochian Vita Basilii and its Slavonic adaptations The Life of St Basil of Caesarea in Cappadocia ascribed to St Amphilochius of Iconium was one of the most popular examples of hagiographical literature throughout medieval Europe, both East and West. It appears to have been first written, or rather compiled, ca 800 in one of the Greek communities of Northern Italy.1 The particular chapter of the Life with which this paper is concerned was extremely popular in its ownright,and existed also, with varying degrees of modification, independendy of the Life (in the West,forexample, it is found in the Legenda Aurea and the Speculum Magnum, and also provides the subject of Hrosvit of Gandersheim's Basilius). The fact that the Life has long been recognized as spurious no doubt accounts for the m o d e m neglect of it which matches the enthusiasm for it in the Middle Ages. Even at the time of the editio princeps of Amphdochius' works in 16442 its authenticity was already in doubt and there is no modem edition of the whole Life. Migne does not print the Greek text at all, though he does give two separate Latin versions.3 There is, however, a modem edition of the miracle,4 though it is based on only a limited selection of the extant manuscripts.5 The miracle concerns the unnamed servant of one Proterius who falls in love with his master's daughter, who is destined to be a nun. He has recourse to a magician, who advises him to approach the Devil, drawing up for him a document renouncing Christ. With this document the servant is able to summon up demons, who conduct him to the throne of the Prince of Darkness. In return for a written declaration of the young man's apostasy, the Devil inflames the girl with love for him, so that she compels her parents to acquiesce 1 J.

She seeks advice from St Basil, to w h o m the young m a n confesses. The saint confines the young m a n for three consecutive periods, during which the penitent is tormented by demons, with progressively diminishing force. Finally St Basil takes him to the church, where the Devd confronts the saint, attempting to prevent him from taking the young m a n into the building and citing the pact that he has signed; but after much prayer on the part of the assembled people, the document comes floating through the air into the hands of the saint, whotearsit up. The basic story of the miracle is clearly much older than the pseudoAmphilochian Life. The locus communis of the pact with the Devil goes back to late Classical times, and it appears in a number of nanatives on a similar theme in Byzantine literature.6 Again, the compiler of the pseudoAmphilochian Life introduces the miracle with the words 'EXXdSiog 5e 6 ev data TT} pv-qprj... 5ir\yr\aax6 p.01, and the following chapter, Tlepi 'Avaaxaaiov •vov Ttpecrfivrepov, opens in a similar manner: Airiyqaaro Se p.oi xai rovro 6...

Basil of Caesarea and the Problem of the Wealth of Monasteries

The work of Basil of Caesarea (c.330–79; Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia from 370) as an organizer and theologian of the monastic life has long been recognized as an important part of his activity as a bishop, and has been extensively studied. The principal authentic ascetic works of Basil which have formed the basis of this study are traditionally known as his monastic rules, though this description is not strictly accurate, since the rules are in fact composed of a series of questions and answers about the organization and administration of monasteries, about the theological principles of the monastic life, and about the interpretation of particular texts of Scripture. Basil’s answers almost always refer to Scripture, and show his asceticism to have been based firmly on obedience to the commandments of Christ as he interpreted them, particularly to the commandments of love of God and love of neighbour, which are discussed at the beginning of LR. Basil believed that obedience to the commandments could best be practised in the context of the common life, rather than that of the solitary monk.

Professor J. Schmid On the Greek Text of the Apocalypse 1

The next commentary, that of Andreas of Caesarea in Cappadocia, was written between 563 and 614 and is here edited by Professor Schmid, who enumerates and classifies some 83 manuscripts. Another thirteen manuscripts have an abbreviated form of commentary. Fifteen manuscripts give a group of Scholia extracted from it and other manuscripts have notes taken from it. Arethas of Caesarea produced a commentary on Revelation at the beginning of the tenth century, largely dependent on Andreas but instead of Andreas' text of Revelation he follows a K text.
