The Belt and Road Initiative is the most ambitious project in the 21st century. Its main goals are infrastructure development, financial integration, people to people connectivity. Developing countries which desperately need infrastructure upgrade welcomed Chinese investments, finding an opportunity to be connected to global economy. Although economic and political consequences are discussed in the literature, the spatial consequences of the Belt and Road Initiative are neglected. The Belt and Road Initiative lays out six main economic corridors, reconfiguring the space across the continents. Eurasia, where three of six economic corridors pass through, is mostly affected by this spatial process. The countries in Eurasia are linked with corridors on which dry ports, special economic zones, and free trade areas are set up. This signifies new spatial characteristics in Eurasia.

The use of the Ottoman system for the supply of soldiers in time of war may be estimated from the fact, that an armed horseman was required for every fief of the value of twelve pounds a year, and another for every additional twenty pounds. In the time of Solyman these fiefs were able to furnish 150,000 cavalry. The feudal troops were always kept in readiness, nor was anything required to summon them to the field but an order of the Sultan to the two Beglerbegs of the Empire from whom it was communicated to a regular gradation of officers entrusted with the task of mustering these Spahi, or Cavaliers, in their separate divisions. This force served without pay. If they fell in battle, they were honoured as martyrs: if they distinguished themselves, or if the expedition was successful, they were rewarded with larger gifts of property. All their hopes of advancement depended upon the Sultan, and his success in war. They were ready to do his bidding in any part of the world, for the greater part of every country which they subdued was divided among the members of their own body.

The determinants of local government performance have long been of interest, and have been empirically investigated in a number of recent studies. A general question in this area is: why have some local governments across the countries achieved high rates of performance whilst the others remained at lower levels? Evidence from the relevant literature indicates that some local governments or municipalities, particularly in developed countries, achieve very good performance. Others, in particular those from underdeveloped or developing, have very little or almost no performance.
This research empirically investigates the budgeting conditions in North Cyprus and evaluate how budgeting conditions vary from one municipality to the other in the five major municipalities; Lefkosa, Magusa, Girne, Guzelyurt and Iskele over the period 2004Q1 to 2012Q4. Two types of methodologies are conducted. First; it empirically investigates the determinants of local government deficit by using cointegration techniques. The Johansen co-integration and The Vector Error Correction model (VECM) are applied to test the effect of each element such as own-source revenue, grants, expenditures and debt services on the budget deficit. Second, the study test the convergence hypothesis if similar regions within the country converge to the same long-run steady state by considering five major Cypriot municipalities in the North Cyprus economy.
The results from the empirical analysis on budget deficit findings show that there is evidence of a long-run relationship between general deficit and its determinants. The evidence of causality is found from expenditure and debt to general deficit for Lefkosa municipality. There is unidirectional causality from grant and revenue through deficit for Magusa municipality. Third empirical analysis on convergence introduced that the municipalities with the lowest number of people per staff, commonly diverge from the group mean.

In todays digitalized world, it has become easier and faster to access knowledge. In university education, especially in academic writing courses, it is vital to access knowledge in order to keep up to date and produce quality writing. However, if knowledge sources are not acknowledged correctly, a serious problem which hinders the development of knowledge arises: plagiarism. This book explores the extent to which university students are aware of plagiarism and offers ways to raise awareness and avoid it. For this purpose the book presents a study which offers a practical method to apply in academic writing classes in order to change students plagiarizing behavior. The purpose of the book is to show that it is possible to change students plagiarizing behavior if a systematical approach is followed

Increasing trade volume and diversity of goods movements around the world have brought to the forefront the practical and high quality transfer of products. Today, many different products can be carried with different types of containers on the international scale. Modal transport is used in the transportation today where at least two of transport systems, i.e. road transport, rail transport, air transport, sea transport, pipelines are used. However, especially sea transport is used in international transportation, that’s why the containerization is called industrialization of maritime transport.
In this study, primarily general information is given about container description, history of container transportation, container types, container ships, ports and handling equipment and evaluation is made about container shipping and ports in the World and in Turkey. The effect of container shipping on the economy is considerable. In order to examine the presence of this effect, relationship between container shipping and economic growth in Turkey is examined by using the quarterly data between 2004Q1–2017Q3 by means of several econometric methods.
As a result of co-integration tests, the existence of a positive bi-directional relationship has been found between TEU-type total handling which represents the container transportation in the long run andreal GDP (Gross Domestic Product) which represents representing economic growth.
As a result of the Granger causality test -although the sign of the relationship is not clear in the short term – it has been understood that actual changes in income affect the changes in the total handling. As a result of the impulse response analyze, the effect of change in real income have always positive effect on total handling except for the 5th and 6th periods; as a result of the variance degradation. 69percentage of change in total handling is explained by variable itself and 31 percentage is explained by reel GDP. It is concluded that there is a positive meaningful relationship between the change in the real income and the change in the total handling in the result of the estimation of the OLS. Accordingly, as a result of the findings, it is seen that there is a relationship between economic growth and container transportation in both short and long terms. Having a sustainable rate of economic growth in Turkey, especially in short run will also increase total container handling in terms of TEU. Besides especially in the long run, increase in total container handling in terms of TEU triggers the increase in economic growth. In this regard the container transportation have said that it is very important for Turkey.

The Herbart school adheres to this view of education, and has transferred its spirit and method to the schools. The Herbartians have the hardihood, in this age of moral skeptics, to believe not only in moral example but also in moral teaching. (By moral skeptics we mean those who believe in morals but not in moral instruction.) They seek first of all historical materials of the richest moral content, in vivid personification, upon which to nourish the moral spirit of children. If properly treated, this subject matter will soon win the children by its power over feeling and judgment. With Crusoe the child goes through every hardship and success; with Abraham he lives in tents, seeks pastures for his flocks, and generously marches out to the rescue of his kinsmen. He should not read Caesar with a slow and toilsome drag (parsing and construing) that would render a bright boy stupid. If he goes with Caesar at all, he must build an agger, fight battles, construct bridges, and approve or condemn Caesar’s acts. But we doubt the moral value of Caesar’s Gallic wars. By reading Plutarch we may see that the Latins and Greeks, before the days of their degeneracy, nourished their rising youth upon the traditions of their ancestry. The education produced a tough and sinewy brood of moral qualities.

There is no form or species of literature that may not be interpreted by psychoanalytic methods. Be the author ever so objective, no matter how much he has sought to make his personality intangible and elusive, there are means, with the aid of clues, of opening up the barred gates of his soul. Men like Flaubert and Merimée, who believed in the impersonal and objective theory of art and who strove deliberately to conceal their personalities, failed in doing so. Their presence is revealed in their stories; they could not hold themselves aloof. It is true we have been aided by external evidence in learning what methods they employed to render themselves impersonal; the real Merimée and Flaubert, however, were made to emerge by the help of their published personal letters. It matters not whether the author writes realistic or romantic fiction, autobiographical or historical tales, lyric or epic poems, dramas or essays, his unconscious is there, in some degree.
But in a field which is largely new, it is best to take those works or species of writing where the existence of the unconscious does not elude our efforts to detect it. Therefore, much will be said in this volume of works where there is no question that the author is talking from his own experiences, in his own person, or where he is using some character as a vehicle for his own point of view. Such works include lyric poetry which is usually the personal expression of the love emotions of the singer. Burns, Byron, Shelley, Keats and Swinburne have left us records of their love affairs in their great lyric poems. Most of these were inspired by frustration of love, and were the results of actual experiences. And though much is said in them, other facts may be deduced.

تطورت الاتجاهات النقدية في علم الاجتماع المعاصر استجابةً لمجموعة من أحداث ومتغيرات السياق الاجتماعي وتحولاته، التي مرّت بها المجتمعات الغربية المعاصرة على المستويات الاجتماعية والاقتصادية والسياسية والتكنولوجية، فأردته في أزمة بنيوية. حصدت الفئات المسيطِرة في المجتمع ثمار هذه التحولات، أما السواد الأعظم من باقي أفراد المجتمع عاشوا أزمة هذا الواقع بكل تجلياتها. رداً على المتغيرات السابقة للواقع الراهن ظهرت على الساحة الفكرية لعلم الاجتماع مجموعة من علماء الاجتماع المعاصرين الذين اتصف فكرهم بأنه فكر نقدي يرمي إلى التغيير والثورة على الأوضاع الراهنة، بهدف تصحيح الأخطاء التي وقعت بها النظريات الاجتماعية التقليدية، وأيضاً بهدف تخليصها من الأزمة الراهنة التي تعتريها نتيجة لتعدد الاتجاهات والإيديولوجيات التي تتحكم بنظرتها وفهمها للواقع الاجتماعي، بالإضافة إلى محاولة إعادة روح النزعة الإنسانية للعلوم الاجتماعية، التي افتقدتها في ظل فلسفة الاتجاه الوضعي الذي اتُخذ كمبدأ أساسي لدراسة الواقع الاجتماعي من قبل العديد من النظريات الاجتماعية المعاصرة، التي نظرت إلى الإنسان على أنه شيء يمكن دراسته، كما تدرس الظواهر الأخرى في العلوم الطبيعية من أجل الوصول إلى قوانين ثابتة تحكم توجهاته وعلاقاته الاجتماعية. مما يجعل لفكرة القانون الضروري الشامل سلطة على المجتمع البشري الذي ظل حتى الآن مستعصياً على كل قانون نتيجةً لطبيعته الخاصة ذات التنوع الفريد والاختلاف.

Recent discoveries have retorted the critic’s objections upon himself. It is not the Biblical writer but the modern author who is now proved to have been unacquainted with the contemporaneous history of the time. The Hittites were a very real power. Not very many centuries before the age of Elisha they had contested the empire of Western Asia with the Egyptians, and though their power had waned in the days of Jehoram they were still formidable enemies and useful allies. They were still worthy of comparison with the divided kingdom of Egypt, and infinitely more powerful than that of Judah.

The Imagist movement, a radical departure from traditional poetry, emerged as a revolutionary literary turning point in the 20th century. Following the principle of economy and precision of language, the Imagist poets championed poetry devoid of ornament and emotional excess. The movement’s emphasis on directness, simplicity, and visual intensity reshaped the spirit of poetry, sparking profound reverberations in literature.
This book comprehensively explores the Imagist movement’s theoretical background and historical context, as well as the analysis of the poems and contributions of its key figures, such as T. E. Hulme, Ezra Pound, H.D., and Amy Lowell. It also includes selected poems from Imagist anthologies, providing readers with concrete examples that highlight the essence of Imagist poetry.

In The Myth of the Female Hand: Forms of Female Power, Şeyda Sivrioğlu explores the symbolic representations and the significance of the female hand as a means to open up literary and critical space for the oppressed and marginalized female figure in different centuries and in different patriarchal cultures and genres. Inalterably, in a culture where creativity is defined purely in male terms, women “exist only to be acted on men, both as literary and sensual objects” (Gilbert and Gubar, 8). This comprehensive study, however, traces the origins of the female hand symbolism from a fairy tale to a play-text and finally to a science fiction novel in order to illustrate how, to borrow Margaret Atwood’s words, the hand as an extension of the brain, in this case the female brain, becomes an important tool for indicating the development of the power of women.

In contemporary fiction, shifting identities, contested spaces, and sociopolitical ruptures are central concerns, reflecting the broader crises of migration, ecological displacement, posthumanism, and gendered spatial politics. The Novel in Transition examines these intersections of space, identity, and power, offering critical insights into how novels engage with the changing landscapes of selfhood and spatiality. Building on theoretical approaches in geocriticism, feminist theory, and postcolonial studies, this volume explores how fiction constructs and deconstructs subjectivities within fluid geographies. It traces the evolving narratives of transformation that define contemporary literature, from nomadic resistance in dystopian landscapes to the contested terrains of diaspora and belonging. By engaging with these pressing issues, this book positions fiction as both a theoretical framework and a mode of empirical analysis, illustrating its role in shaping new imaginaries of identity and space in an era of unprecedented global change.
