1979 yılında işgal ve devamındaki terör yüzünden ülkelerinden koparak göçer duruma düşmüş ve Hatay-Ovakent’e yerleştirilmiş Özbek asıllı bir grup Afganistan vatandaşının kültür ve kimliklerini koruma çabalarını, kültürel değişimlerinin yönü ve hızını, değişimlerinin düzey ve biçimlerini belirlemeye yönelik yapılan ve sahada gerçekleştirilen anket çalışmasıyla desteklenen bu çalışma, kültürel azınlık bir topluluk durumundaki göçerlerin kültür(süz)leşme (acculturation) sürecini incelemektedir. Çalışmada, kültürel boyutlarıyla ele alınan topluluğun durumu makro düzeyde değerlendirilmiştir. Yedi bin kişilik göçer nüfusun 0.03 oranında küçültülmesiyle, farklı yaş ve cinsiyetten, 210 kişilik denek grubuna kültürün devamlılığı, çeşitliliği, değişimi ve egemen kültürle bütünleşme sürecini ölçmeye yönelik, yaşam biçimleri, benimsedikleri kimlik, dinsel uygulamaları, örf ve adetleri, aidiyetleri, meslekleri ve yemek kültürlerine yönelik yirmi dört soruluk bir sormaca uygulanmıştır. Yanıtlar Likert ölçekleme yöntemi ve John W. Berry’nin göçerlerin başka kültürlerle temasları durumunda karşılaştıkları süreçleri ele aldığı kültür(süz)leşme izlemleri kuramı çerçevesinde değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, Özbek göçerlerin Türk toplumuyla her yönüyle bütünleşmeyi sürdürdüğü, ancak Ovakent’in egemen kültür bireylerinden ayrık bir konumda olmasının bu süreci yavaşlattığını göstermektedir..ABSTRACT IN ENGLISHAcculturation among Uzbek Immigrants in OvakentThis study, based on a survey, explores the efforts and experiences of maintaining the culture and identity among Uzbek immigrants, who were uprooted due to the occupation and the terror in 1979, and had moved to Hatay-Ovakent. It examines the process of acculturation of Uzbek migrants in a community in order to understand the process and speed of a cultural change. In this study, the Uzbek community is analysed at macro level. A questionnaire of twenty-four questions about the continuity of culture, diversity, exchange and integration processes are explored with a sample representing 0.03 percent of (210 respondents) a migrant community of seven thousand. The responses were collected using a questionnaire employing Likert Scale questions following the framework of acculturation strategies theory of John W. Berry regarding immigrants in contact with other cultures. We have found that Uzbek migrants continue to acculturate with Turkish society in all aspects, but due to Ovakent’s isolated position and distance from the mainstream culture in Turkey, this process has seemingly slowed down.

This book, originally published in 1962, has now become a classic on the historyof modemTurkish political thought, whose beginning is usually traced back to theT-t period (1836-1878), the most turbulent and crucial period of modemTurkish history. Serif Mardin, the famous Turkish historian and political scientist,is like a household name to those interested in modern Ottoman and Turkishintellectual history. In his numerous books and articles, which followed thepublication of the present work, Mardin took the herculean task of unearthing theparameters of modem Turkish thought with an almost solitary conscience. It issimply impossible to have a discussion about Islam and Turkish society, socialchange, modernization or secularization without referring to Mardin’s work,which is woven around a string of ideas, concepts and analytical tools, all of whichenable him to see the realities of Turkey and the modem Islamic world both fromwithin and from without. His more recent Relwon and Social change in Twkey:’ c irhe of&aYuzaman Said Nuni (New York: SUNY Press, 1989),w hich is thesingle most important book written in English on Said Nursi, the founder of theNurcu movement in Turkey, is the result of the same set of principles Mardin hasadopted throughout his career: diligent scholarship, resistance to fads, and willingnessto understand before passing any judgements on his subject.The present work under review touches upon the most sensitive and crucialperiod of modem Turkish history, viz., the end of the Ottoman era and the establishmentof the modem Turkish Republic. Mardin’s exclusive emphasis is on theTanzirnat period, and the figures that laid the intellectual foundations of it. Thesignificance of this period can hardly be overemphasized, not only for Turkish historybut also for the rest of the Islamic world. It was in this period that a wholegeneration of ottoman intellectuals, from right to left, was faced with the historictask of confronting modem western civilization in the profoundest sense of theterm, and their successes and failures set the agenda for the modem intellectualhistory of Turkey for decades to follow. Their troublesome journey was shaped bythe historical setting, in which they came to terms with such questions as modernism,secularism, westernization, nationalism, Islam, society, science, tradition,and a host of other issues that continue to haunt the minds of the Islamic worldtoday. Their trial, however, was linked to the rest of the members of the Islamicworld in ways, as the present work under review shows, more important than isusually thought, and this issue, namely the place of ottoman intellectual historywithin the larger context of modem klamic thought, has not been resolved.

Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI) in the Turkish society, which was developed to evaluate dignity-related distress in palliative care patients. Methods One hundred and twenty-seven adults with advanced cancer hospitalized in several clinics of two university hospitals were included in the study. The patients whose Palliative Performance Scale score was at least 40% were recruited to study. The data were collected with a patient demographic form, the Turkish version of Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-TR), and the Turkish version of the PDI (PDI-TR). The PDI-TR was finalized and back-translated after translating into Turkish and obtaining 10 expert opinions. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency, concurrent validity, and test–retest reliability analysis were performed. Results The Cronbach's α coefficient of PDI-TR was 0.94. Factor analysis resulted in a five-factor solution, and all items were loaded on factors. Factors were labeled as symptom distress, existential distress, self-confidence, dependency, and supportive care needs and accounted for 68.70% of the overall variance. The model's normed fit index, comparative fit index, and X2/SD were found between acceptable range (0.90, 0.93, and 2.64, respectively). A positive and strong correlation was found between subdimension scores of HADS-TR and the total score of PDI-TR (r = 0.70 for anxiety subdimension; r = 0.73 for depression subdimension). The test–retest reliability was conducted with 32 patients within the sample two weeks after the first application, and no significant difference was found between the two application scores as the result of paired-sample t-test (p > 0.05). An intraclass correlation coefficient of test–retest reliability was r = 0.855. Significance of results PDI-TR was found to be a valid and reliable tool in palliative care patients in Turkish society.

The Republic of Turkey was founded in 1923. In the first 20 years of its existence, the political leadership of the republic embarked on a process of nation building in Anatolia and at the same time changed the face of Turkish society, stamping on it a particular brand of secular modernity. This article tries to find out what were the common characteristics of the small band of men who made up the leadership of the republic and to what extent their shared background and experience can help explain the course they charted for Turkey after its creation. One of the conclusions is that Turkey, although located geographically for more than 90% in Asia, is in fact a creation of Europeans, who shaped the country after their own image.
