Bu çalışmada yazar Orhan Pamuk’un Kafamda Bir Tuhaflık adlı eserinde işlenen göç, göç olgusuna dair kavramlarla ele alınarak, esere yansıtılan göçmenlik psikolojisi üzerinde durulacaktır. Göç aynı zamanda bir uzam değişimi anlamına da geldiği için, değişen uzamların bireylerin üzerindeki etkisi de yine irdelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Pamuk bu eserinde kırdan kente göç eden Mevlut Karataş ve onun çevresindeki insanların hayatlarını, İstanbul’la imtihanlarını işlemiş ve bununla birlikte Türkiye’nin yaşadığı siyasi ve sosyal anlamdaki pek çok değişimi İstanbul üzerinden eserinde göstermiştir. Göçün ekonomik ve sosyal imkanlar açısından daha iyi bir yaşam sağlaması gibi beklentilerle beraberinde getirdiği sıkıntıları, uyumsuzlukları ve hayal kırıklıklarını da işlediği iddia edilebilir. Çalışmada kişilerin İstanbul’a atfettikleriyle elde ettiklerinin çatışmasına da yer verilerek, kentle ve kent kültürüyle olan çatışmaları irdelenmeye çalışılacaktır. Çalışmada metne dayalı inceleme yönteminden yararlanılacaktır.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Among the Armenian actors who were essential in creating and sustaining Istanbul theaters at the turn of the twentieth century, Eliza Binemeciyan (1890-1981) emerged as a prominent one. In the aftermath of taking part in the play Kösem Sultan in 1912, she became the star of Istanbul theaters for more than a decade until she left her beloved city when she was 35 years old. She never returned to Istanbul, the city that was her home and where the remains of her parents, both well known Armenian actors, were buried. Her story as well as the stories of her Armenian colleagues reveal the decline of cosmopolitanism and the rise of nationalism in Istanbul. The change of scene in Istanbul theaters from multi-lingualism and cosmopolitanism to nationalism was like a microcosm of the policies of Turkification during the decline of the Ottoman Empire. In many memoirs about the era, Eliza Binemeciyan’s departure was normalized since she was depicted as an actor whose absence fostered the acting careers of Muslim Turkish women without much regard for her remarkable presence in Istanbul theaters.

Full textAbstract:
Lofts are housing forms converted from warehouse-workshop into a “habitable environment” in coastal towns of Europe and the USA after the Industrial Revolution. Particularly positioned in coastal towns of New York, Loft life made an impact in the world over time. It became a new form of living when artists converted structures like factories into habitable environment. From past to today, all national and international developments during the process affected and accelerated development of the constant evolution of housing concept. In that sense, in this study, the meaning of Lofts in Istanbul and the effect and change of socio-cultural stratification on spatial conversion of housing consumerism has been examined in the context of Istanbul. Especially, process of gentrification, shaped by effects of urban transformation post 1980, and cultural development affected by this process, attendant Loft life has become an accelerating way of life. In this context, historical and stylistic value and especially usage of Loft living has been examined. In the first chapter; past, present and the post-1980 development of housing sector in Istanbul, in the second chapter, with a thriving cultural life, and Loft formation, has been examined in the context of structural criteria, resulting three different Lofts have been discussed in detail. In the third section, three different types of Loft have been analyzed in the context of space depending on examples. As a result of researches, three different types of Lofts, “Original”, “Semi” and “Imitation” concepts have become clear and it has been concluded that “Imitation Loft” formation gives direction to life in Istanbul.

Full textAbstract:
Historians of the Middle East and the Balkans have paid little attention to intercommunal relations in Ottoman cities prior to the onset of nationalism and the spread of communal violence in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Each national and religious community has, therefore, focused on writing and imagining its own history with very little attention to the larger social milieu, economic and social conditions, and interactions outside confessional boundaries in the pre-modern period. The history of the Jewish community has received more attention from scholars, while that of the Greek and Armenian communities has been largely ignored. The literature on Islamic cities also tends to emphasize the homogenous composition of residential neighborhoods in contrast to the diversity of the market place. I will show that in Istanbul, residential quarters remained mixed in their social and religious make-up until Muslim migration from the Balkans during the nineteenth century enhanced the ratio of Muslims. Moreover, the debate among Ottomanists has focused on the existence or absence of themilletsystem (autonomous communal organizations) prior to the nineteenth century. Scholars have argued that themilletsystem was a nineteenth century development and that there was great fluidity and interaction among the minority communities and the Muslim majority in Ottoman cities. In the nineteenth century, Tanzimat reforms also centralized the administration of confessional communities and set legal boundaries between them that used to be more porous. Elsewhere, I have discussed the plural legal system in eighteenth century Istanbul.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to form a sociological perspective for new applications and to evaluate the local authority applications by observing the effects of urbanization on ‘aging’ and ‘being old’. There is a swift transformation process in Turkey’s social life. Family structure is also changing along with the social transition occurring in the urbanization process. Elders are the main actors that this transition effects and their position has been changed in society. With the social change, something about elders has become problematic with family bands. With urbanization, elders have been faced with ‘loneliness’, ‘cost of living’, and ‘service care’ problems. To overcome these cases, special social supports and raising local authority’s consciousness of responsibility is needed. Although aging in Turkey is not as vital a ‘problem’ as in developed societies, it is obvious that there is an upward movement. As a result of increased living standards and development in health areas, average human lifespan and life expectancy has increased. Although Turkey has a young population percentage-wise, the actual number of elder people is quite high. The increment in elderly population in Turkey and reasons like the change of family structure, which make elder service important, are influential factors determining the subject of this thesis. Within this framework, supporting home care service is a goal. Towards this aim, the social problems that elders may face in urban areas and solving applications for these problems will be evaluated from a sociological perspective. Within this research, it is aimed to understand urban elders’ life from a new perspective. Another way of understanding social processes is to observe the process and to conduct interviews with the related actors. Questions in our study will be divided into “factual questions” and “comparative questions”. In this study, mainly two resources will be used, primary sources, defined as oldies who are living in urban areas and encounter the opportunities and difficulties of this city, their families and health workers who have a direct interaction with oldies, the opinions of people (largely city officials) and as minor sources, firstly sociology and the literature of books, theses, articles, reports etc. which are about socıal science. The methodological tendency of this study will be in qualitative form because of the general features of oldies that are its object. The semi-structured form will be applied to measure the assessments of people who are in contact with oldies and also their personal life, economic status, lifestyle, family, kinship, neighbor relations and their expectations of life. Beyond generalizing about oldies in this study, to make a case determination will be tried as a feature of the qualitative study method. We aim to carry out the study in the framework of one of the qualitative study types, using the data collection techniques of literature survey, questionnaire, and meeting (structured, not-structured) will be used for our study with different dimensions of observation techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The immigrant remittances emerged due to the international migration occupy an important place especially in the economies of developed and underdeveloped countries along with their serious contributions. In addition to their macro level importance these remittances sent to family members for various reasons cause also important transformations in the socio-economic structure of society. This study aims to analyse the effect of sending remittance on immigrants’ life satisfaction. The surveys were conducted face-to-face with 1006 immigrants living in Istanbul and the responses were analysed using the OLS analysis method. The questions in the survey were prepared in English and in Turkish. Immigrants who are a part of the study are people who have legally obtained a residence permit in Turkey. The dependent variable in this study was “All things considered, how satisfied are you with your life as a whole these days?” It is life satisfaction, which consists of individual answers to the question. Participants were asked to rate on a ranking scale ranging from 0 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (completely satisfied. People from 89 different countries took part in the study. Results indicate that sending remittance reduces people’s happiness. People who have left their country due to economic conditions are observed to be more unhappy. On the other hand savings make people happier. In addition people who think that their financial status is better after the migration are happier than others.

Full textAbstract:
Externalization that became prominent in 1980s with the globalization brought along dramatic changes in social and spatial areas. The social, cultural and economic events that took place on an international level thanks to globalization made the impact of change felt which was reflected on the urban space and, therefore, on the house, resulting in an increase in the importance of the residential sector. Externalization and developed economic structure enabled more investments into houses which introduced a concept of housing populated in urban fringes starting from the city centers. The housing concept which was shaped by the impacts of the urban transformation after 1980 turned into a new emerging lifestyle in Istanbul in 2000s. Accordingly, the study aims to establish the position of housing in Istanbul and new meanings formed by the socio-cultural changes. In this sense, housing before and after 1980, globalization, gentrification, urban transformation, spatial segregation, socio-economic and cultural aspects were discussed based on the structural benchmarks, and 4 different housing forms, namely the “Loft”, “Residence”, “Terraced House”, and “Gated Communities”, with individual structural examples. This study, thus, aims to question the form of tenancy of these houses created through varying concepts and concerns today. The results obtained showed that the housing as an indicator of cultural life in Istanbul has turned into a lifestyle that is shaped by similar aspects and commercial concern, despite different approaches or production forms, eliminating the traces of the cultural life of the society.

Full textAbstract:
Migration is a natural tendency of human society. Solidification of the modern nation-state led to the regularized protection of states’ borders and territory and reduced the ability of migrants to negotiate their integration into a host society. The political and economic turmoil of the era following the First World War exacerbated the problematic relationships between the nation-state and migrants. Many migrants were excluded from the normal territorial and legal space of post-war global society and were categorized under a new political label as refugees. With the example of Russian Civil War (1918-21) refugees in Istanbul, the article investigates the process of constructing a refugee identity among these people. This included producing a refugee space, which was accomplished through imagining space as a resource, reimagining the meaning of Istanbul, constructing refugee camps, and engagement with the experience of the spatial hierarchy of Istanbul city life. I argue that the experience of Russian refugees in Istanbul after the First World War heavily contributed to the formation of today’s modern refugee regime.

Full textAbstract:
The contrast between Muslim Istanbul and Anatolia in the late Ottoman years was based on the large-scale socioeconomic dichotomies that often set great traditional cities apart from their hinterlands. These differences were also felt in the rhythms of ordinary domestic life in the city. Istanbul was marked by a unique system of marriage and household formation, one that had cultural connections with the Anatolian hinterland, but that also resembled those found in other major centers in the Mediterranean basin. This pattern is not at all what it seems to have been to many Turks or to most European observers of Turkey in the 19th century.

Full textAbstract:
Streets, being vital elements of public spaces, provide mobility and social contact. Beyond their transportation character, streets are the locations where people may interact with each other, satisfy their needs, and express themselves. These functions contribute to the liveliness of streets and have a significant influence on social life in public spaces. This research examines street characteristics as factors of liveliness that help us to identify the street as a public space. Taking physical features, visual identity, functions, and activities as parameters of street character; the research examines Istanbuls Bagdat Avenue by emphasizing these parameters on the liveliest sections of the avenue. The two-stage organized research outputs have shown that the liveliest sections of the avenue include variety of businesses, individual retailers, segments with a unique identity, and buildings with permeable and articulated facades. It can be asserted that the streets characteristics encourage individuals to behave in a way that enhances publicity and that the streets characteristics help in creating a more attractive place and a lively atmosphere for people to behave in a comfortable way that strengthens the publicity. This research aims to contribute to academic literature to develop a framework for rethinking design and planning for revitalizing urban life and explaining the human aspect of environmental design.

The aim of this study was to compare life quality of people living in İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir having higher population density to those living in cities having lower population density. 2060 people from İstanbul, Ankara and İzmir, 5892 people from other cities, totally 7952 people, were participated in the study. Turkish version of WHOQOL-BREF scale consisting 27 items, developed by World Health Organization with the participation of 15 collaboration centers was used to determine life quality of participants. WHOQOL-BREF scale includes four dimensions; physical, psychological, social relations, and environment SPSS 16.0 was used to analyzed collected data. Descriptive analyze was used to determine characteristics of participants, Independent t test was used to compare cities having different populations densities, crosstab and chi square tests were used to analyze items not included in scoring. Significant differences were found between people from cities having different population density in terms of physical and environmental field (p<0.05), and psychological field (p<0.01). No significant difference was found in terms of social field (p>0.05). Consequently, according to higher level of life quality scores of people living in high population density than those living low population densities in terms of physical, psychological, social and environmental field, it can be said that it is a positive reflection of life to life quality in cities having higher population density.

Full textAbstract:
e article explores the diversity of narrative techniques in Orhan Pamuk’s novel A Strangeness in My Mind. The main idea is that the drama of a private life is told against the background of the drama of the life of Istanbul. To do this, the novel parallels the biographical ‘I’ of the main character and the historical ‘He’ of the City. This comparison provokes the idea of the novel’s close relation to the history of Istanbul and Turkey over the last fifty years. Orhan Pamuk does not spare the reader any of the specific, purely "Turkish problems" with the Kurds and Greeks, as well as the radical and conservative moods and public discontent from the 1950s to the 1980s. The narrative line is developed slowly and minutely,owing to the author's intention to authenticate real events through the perspective of fictional characters and vice versa - to romanticize cultural and purely civilizational processes in the last half century of the development of this part of the border between Europe and Asia. This is the only way to explain the presence of the problem of women's emancipation and the lack of that misunderstood "patriotism" which often prevents the depiction of purely national processes in life. This refutes the widespread opinion that A Strangeness in My Mind is a postmodern novel.

Full textAbstract:
In 2018, the Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture (OII), an ultra-conservative civil society organisation in Poland, published a draft of the “Convention on the Rights of the Family”. According to the OII, the convention “codifies the fundamental values underpinning all civilised societies” and also contains “rules to combat all forms of violence, including domestic violence”. The CRF was initiated to substitute the “Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence”, commonly known as the Istanbul Convention. This article outlines the origin of the CRF and the replacement procedure with regard to the Istanbul Convention. It then summarises the reasons for drafting the CRF, including the criticism of the Istanbul Convention. The second part assesses the extent to which the CRF protects the right of women to live a life free of violence. Supporters of the CRF suggest that it offers better protection than the Istanbul Convention. They base this thesis on the argument that the alternative convention incorporates all the “good” provisions of the Istanbul Convention and additionally strengthens the “family”, which they purport to most effectively protect its members from violence. The article explains that these claims are false and that violence against women and its underlying causes do not find appropriate consideration in the CRF, leading to a lower level of protection compared to the Istanbul Convention. The third part shows that the ratification of the CRF would further lead to non-compliance with several international human rights treaties. It is concluded that the CRF is thus not a serious alternative to the Istanbul Convention.

Full textAbstract:
Although dining tables and chairs function as the main furniture stereotypes valued for hosting in traditional Turkish households, this practice has been subject to changes and challenges in contemporary urban life in Istanbul. This qualitative study of dining furniture brings insights into the design, production, purchase and use of furnishings from a broad review of literature and from semi-structured in-depth interviews undertaken in the homes of young urban professionals in Istanbul between the years 2013 and 2016. Prescribed as indispensable stereotypes in the furniture retail stores and considered as essential domestic units by the interviewees, dining tables and chairs are found out as not fulfilling their intended hosting functions efficiently or being often replaced by centre tables or coffee tables, because of an increase in casual rather than formal occasions. Domestication of the dining table as an open buffet was considered a practical way to help hold the food and drinks that were also on couches and coffee tables. In addition, the dining table was used for completely different functions unrelated to eating, as study desks or as surfaces for folding and ironing laundry, whereas dining chairs were used as places to drape coats or clothing. Interrogating the disconnect between the consumption and use context of the dining suites yields deeper discussion about the level of intellectual capital of Turkish furniture industry and the consumer culture which advices the enactment of norms. Insights in these complex, changing and sometimes contradictory patterns may influence the design of domestic furnishings in Turkey. Therefore, more user-based design research and a further examination of contemporary patterns of use in urban households are needed to activate this potential for the Turkish furniture design industry.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAs one of the most immediate sources for the study of community life, the shariah court records of Istanbul capture one of the underlying characteristics of Ottoman society at the beginning of the sixteenth century, that of social and spatial mobility. This characteristic is clearly illustrated in the case of slaves. Records concerning fugitive slaves and slaves who resided in the region, either as freedmen or in servitude, clearly indicate that slavery helped fuel the economy of empire and, upon manumission, slaves were readily absorbed into local communities. The institution of slavery was an integral part of both Ottoman society and local community life and was used not only by the palace but by a wide variety of residents, across a range of socio-economic levels.

The fact that the Ottoman Empire was an exotic and mysterious Eastern country has been an important issue that has great meaning for Western orientalist engraving artists. The natural landscape, topographic image, mosques, palaces, daily life and the Bosphorus of Istanbul which is the capital of the Empire, were important elements that lived in the engravings of many painters. After going to Europe, many of these painters turned their paintings into an album with the technique of Engraving. These albums have survived to the present day as a historical document introducing the socio-cultural life of the Ottoman Empire. 18. in the century, Sultan III. During Selim's period, there were serious changes and transformations in the cultural sense. During this period, the Ottoman palace opened its doors to Western artists, and a culture that developed under the influence of the West began to gain a place, especially in Istanbul. In this article, after briefly mentioning the history of Engraving art, information is given about the life of the Orientalist Painter Melling, who grew up under the influence of the Renaissance period in Europe and turned his face to the East. After mentioning the artist's work as a painter and architect in Istanbul, his relationship with Hatice Sultan, the sister of Sultan Selim III, and the dimensions of this relationship were evaluated. It is aimed to examine the change and transformation of the palace and the socio-cultural structure of the period through the Neşetabad Palace engraving made by Melling.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article analyzes different traditions of nocturnal conviviality in 18th-century Istanbul and demonstrates their importance for social, political, and cultural life. The main argument is that the palace used the night to demonstrate its power in spectacles of light and to cultivate personal relations within the elite, both of which were crucial for a patrimonial government based on face-to-face interaction. Yet, it was exactly the reliance on such interaction that marked the limits of the palace's hold of the night. With the neighborhood gaze blinded by darkness, communal policing lost much of its effectiveness, leaving nocturnal social life largely concealed from the eyes of the authorities. Nighttime therefore offered opportunities for illicit modes of socialization and, at times, for subversive political action.

A workshop entitled “Ottoman Ego-Documents” was held at Istanbul Medeniyet University on March 11–13, 2020. The workshop was organized by Istanbul Medeniyet University's Faculty of Letters in collaboration with the Center for Ego-Document Studies and supported by the Turkish Historical Society and the Foundation for Science, Art, History and Literature (İSTEV). It was attended by specialists in history, literature, law, and theology. This event marked the first time in Turkey that this topic was discussed with a large scope. The only previous organized discussion in Turkey on “ego-documents” seems to have been “Autobiographical Themes in Turkish Literature: Theoretical and Comparative Perspectives,” held jointly by Boğaziçi University and the Orient-Institut der DMG in 2003. This discussion was mostly theoretical and the material covered belonged mainly to the post-Tanzimat era. A volume edited by Olcay Akyıldız, Halim Kara, and Börte Sagaster, the organizers of that event, was subsequently published by Ergon.

Full textAbstract:
Nafi Baba is one of the most important Bektashi fathers who grew up under the conditions of the banned period of Bektashism. He was born in the Martyrdom Lodge in 1835. He started his education life by taking private lessons at a young age, and he learned religious sciences from important classes of the time. His scientific career started with the title of Istanbul professor conferred on him in 1846. The scientific rank of Nafi Baba, who also received a madrasa education, rose to the position of professorship in Süleymaniye and the Mevleviyeh of Aleppo. In 1861, he was brought to the post of the Martyrs' Lodge, and although he received a madrasa education, he did not act like an ordinary mudarris and became a special Bektashi father. He learned French and English, as well as Arabic and Persian languages, and adopted a modern and innovative understanding as a world of thought and lifestyle. He transformed his lodge into a center of science, culture and art, making it an institution where the intellectual part of Istanbul is among the regulars. Among the regulars of the lodge were famous thinkers, artists and poets of the period such as Philosopher Rıza Tevfik, Cartoonist Cem, Gedai, Rami, Hüseyin Kamî and Künci (Günci). The fact that he established political relations with the Young Turks, defended the transition to the constitutional administration and contributed to the establishment of Robert College, a missionary school, are reflections of Nafi Baba's modern personality. He had his grandchildren educated at Robert College, and some of them were teachers and administrators at this school. In this study, the life of Nafi Baba as an Istanbul gentleman, a modern, innovative and wise personality is discussed in the light of main sources. Keywords: Istanbul, Mahmut II, Bektashism, Sehitlik Lodge, Mahmut Baba, Nafi Baba.

The data in this study was provided from 400 households in the Kucukcekmece District of Istanbul Province in 2011. Unclustered Proportional Sampling Method was used to determine the sample size of the study. The primary objective of this study was to identify the most suitable type of milk for consumers. In determining the most appropriate type, four criteria were taken into account. These criteria are hygiene, shelf-life, nutritional content, and price. Based on the data, milk consumption was 30.2 L per annum per capita in Istanbul Province. The households consist of about 3.7 individuals, and they give importance to hygiene by 26.4 percent, shelf-life by 26.7 percent, nutritional content by 29.6 percent and price by 17.2 percent. 55.3 percent of the households prefer UHT (long of shelf-life Tetra Pac packaged milk which heat-treated range of 135-150°C in a short period of 2-4 seconds) milk, 28.5 percent prefer Pasteurized milk, and 16.2 percent prefer Raw milk. Also, while households gave more importance to price and nutrient content at the raw and pasteurized milk, shelf life and hygiene content at UHT milk. Considering these criteria, the most suitable type of milk for the consumers was UHT milk. As a result, the national companies marketing pasteurized milk in the research area need advertisement works that inform the consumers regarding pasteurized milk.

Full textAbstract:
In Istanbul, rural and urban migrations and unplanned urbanization have resulted in severe housing problems, especially for the lower and middle-income groups. Within the context of Architectural Design Studio VII for the IKU Department of Architecture, senior architecture students were encouraged to go beyond developing projects for mere educational purposes and instead discuss alternatives for residential design. A problematic residential area of 40.000 square meters in Kagithane, which has officially been designated a renewal area in Istanbul-Turkey, was selected as the case study area. Students were asked to analyse the site in terms of physical and social attributes. Each student detected and defined different sets of problems and was expected to propose an experimental, creative, new housing alternative and system. The main theme of the studio was to understand, evaluate, and improve urban life in and around the defined site. The approach of the design process followed was a contextual methodology. The aim of this paper is to evaluate and put forward different contextual approaches within the framework of this project for use in pursuing new solutions to similar global housing problems.Keywords: Architectural education, urban renewal, housing, Kagithane in Istanbul, contextual approach

Khaldun Taner is a great Turkish writer, academic, and journalist. He was born in Istanbul in 1915, and died in his home city of Istanbul in 1986. He wrote many stories and plays during his seventy years of age. Writers describe him according to his writings as one of the most prominent people who used the fluent Turkish language and addressed all classes of people. Many readers have read his productions, both in his life and after his death. His stories "A Morning in the Palace" occupy a great place among all of his stories. We note all kinds of eloquence in this book and that the literary impact of 7 independent short stories can be dealt with from many aspects. In addition to this study, we will study the nature portrayal in the tale of Khaldun Tanner, which bears the name "A Morning in the Palace" which is a wonderful effect. And that the main reason for choosing this topic is because it is the subject of nature portrayal that attracted our attention, and differs from the rest of the studies, and that Khaldoun Tanner provided us with a depiction of nature with his own tale of nature and with great precision through his observation of nature and he has a high experience in narrating it. And events usually take place in Istanbul, where he was born and raised. Despite the concerns of life by going from home to work, he was dealing with nature in a smooth manner. We will study this topic under clear headings. We started this study with a comprehensive summary of the writer. Then we dealt with the life of Khaldoun Tanner and his literary personality and his effects, and then we deal with the body of the research, which is a portrayal of nature in Khaldun Tanner’s story entitled “A Morning in the Palace.

Objective.To compare clinical manifestations and activity of Behçet syndrome (BS) in the United States versus Turkey using validated outcome measures.Methods.Consecutive patients with BS from the US National Institutes of Health (NIH), New York University, and the University of Istanbul were evaluated. Disease activity was measured using the Behçet’s Syndrome Activity Scale (BSAS) and the Behçet’s Disease Current Activity Form (BDCAF) with quality of life measured by the Behçet Disease Quality of Life (BDQOL) form. One-way ANOVA, t-tests, and multivariate regression analyses were performed.Results.Mean age did not differ between sites; however, more women were seen in the United States versus in Turkey (p < 0.001), and disease duration was longer in the United States (p = 0.02). Organ manifestations were similar for oral and genital ulcers, skin disease, arthralgia, eye disease, and thrombosis. However, more gastrointestinal (p < 0.001) and neurologic disease (p = 0.003) was seen in the United States. BSAS and BDCAF scores were worse in the United States compared to Turkey (p = 0.013 and < 0.001, respectively). Worse mean BDQOL scores were observed at the NIH compared to Istanbul (not significant). Multivariable regression models showed worse scores in ethnically atypical patients for BSAS and BDCAF (p = 0.04 and p = 0.001), American patients for BDCAF (p = 0.01), older age for BDCAF (p = 0.005), and women for BDQOL (p = 0.01).Conclusion.Demographic and clinical manifestations of BS differ between sites with higher disease activity in the United States compared to Turkey. Referral patterns, age, sex, ethnicity, and country of origin may be important in these differences. These observations raise the question of whether pathogenic mechanisms differ in Turkish and American patients.

Full textAbstract:
During the past thirty years, there has been a steady growth in the size and number of ships that use the Strait of Istanbul (Bosporus), which is one of the most difficult, crowded, and potentially dangerous waterways in the world. There have been over two hundred accidents over the past decade resulting in loss of life and serious damage to the environment. Many of the proposed export routes for forthcoming production from the Caspian sea region pass westwards through the Black Sea and the Bosporus en-route to the Mediterranean Sea and world markets. The risks and dangers associated with tanker navigation, maritime accidents and environmental catastrophe are aggravated with the increase in the density of traffic, tanker size and cargo capacity, as well as the nature of the cargo. In order to ease the problem, a Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) was established and approved by IMO in 1994. This scheme has drastically reduced the number of collisions. However, one-way or two-way suspension of traffic in the Bosporus is inevitable for ships that cannot comply with the TSS because of their type, size or poor manoeuvring characteristics. The selection of size criteria to comply with the TSS has been a matter of discussion. This paper presents the results of a real-time simulation study investigating the manoeuvring performance of large tankers in the Bosporus. The study was conducted with a simulator capable of subjecting a given hull form to any combination of environmental conditions, i.e. wind, current and wave drift forces. The results indicate that, when realistic environmental conditions are taken into account, the size of ships that can navigate safely in compliance with the traffic separation lanes is limited.

Full textAbstract:
Ahmed Agayev, better known as Ahmet Ağaoğlu (1869-1939), has been a prominent preacher of Turkism and one of the founding fathers of the so-called Azerbaijani identity, having played also a significant role in the formation of Pan-Turkism. Ağaoğlu’s involvement in Pan-Turkist circles in the Ottoman Empire and then in the nationalist movement in Kemalist Turkey partly overshadowed some details of his earlier life. This paper examines one of the lesser-known episodes in his biography—his participation in the activities of the Iranian revolutionaries in Istanbul and his collaboration with their Persian organ, Sorush (Sorūš) in 1909-1910 in Istanbul. Ironically, positioning himself in his Persian writings in Sorush as an avid follower of Iranian nationalism, Ağaoğlu began soon to propound in the Ottoman press the idea of “the Turks of Iran”, actively promoting Turkism and Pan-Turkist views on the ethnic background of the South Caucasian Muslims and the population of the northwestern areas of Iran. Ahmet Ağaoğlu’s writings in Istanbul in 1909 and 1910 shed some light on the genesis of a modern ethnic identity, which was later labelled as “Azerbaijani”.

Full textAbstract:
Rapid migration towards cities is occurring due to economic and social reasons. Industrialization, urbanization, and changes in consumption habits are creating environmental problems. Sustainable urban planning is necessary to ensure people’s quality of life in future cities. The establishment of strategic waste management processes is crucial. This topic encompasses the awareness, education, adaptation, and implementation of them by urban residents. The “Zero Waste Project” was initiated in Türkiye in 2017, and local governments have a significant responsibility for its implementation. City administrations strive to create clean, healthy, contemporary, and livable environmental conditions for their stakeholders. The aim of this study was to examine the Zero Waste Project system, an important approach for planning sustainable cities. Istanbul has 39 district municipalities. In this study, the amount of waste collected by the municipalities affiliated with Istanbul within the scope of the “Zero Waste Project” in 2022 was determined. Data were obtained from the “Zero Waste Project Implementation” sections of the 2022 activity reports of the 39 district municipalities. Data on the quantities in the categories of packaging, glass, clothing and textiles, electronics, batteries, vegetable oil, pharmaceuticals, tires, motor oil, and wood waste were obtained. This help us understand, the implementation of waste management systems in Istanbul district municipalities. In addition, the “Zero Waste Awareness and Incentive” activities carried out in Istanbul district municipalities are emphasized. The Zero Waste Project has the potential to improve the sustainability of urban living. It can be evaluated as a participatory environmental policy in terms of sustainable urban planning.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeTurkey has been rapidly urbanizing since the 1950s. In quantitative and qualitative meanings, the problem of housing is one of the most important subjects on Turkey’s agenda. Increasing population, rapid cultural and economic transition and the dynamics of in-migration, changes in social life, consumption patterns and value systems have made a significant impact on housing demand and supply. If we try to realize a general analytical outlook to define the basic formal and informal categories that reflect specific values pertaining to housing typology of the twentieth century, it would be possible to make a classification under the following sub-titles: formal housing-row houses, separate houses, apartment blocks, social housing, mass-housing, luxury housing including gated communities; informal housing – squatter settlements/gecekondus, slums; inbetween –apartkondus, unpermitted constructions/building extensions. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approachIstanbul has been experiencing these various dynamics of planned and unplanned housing settlements in a very radical way, since the 1950s. Changing typology is examined systematically under certain periods up to now. In confronting housing needs under rapid urbanization, “types of housing supply channels” appeared and as a result, urban texture has been changing by periods. In this paper, in order to understand each of these categories and the conditions under which they have been generated, an analysis will be realized to understand the urban housing concept of Istanbul within the twentieth century urban environment.FindingsThe factors playing a role in the evolution of twentieth century dwelling forms on Istanbul will be defined, and the physical/architectural, locational, neighborhood characteristics, as well as their user profile will be examined.Originality/valueThis study is expected to contribute to the further understanding of the urban housing stock and the future trends in housing typology.

Full textAbstract:
Peanuts are the most dangerous among food allergens. It is therefore the most common cause of deadly foodborne anaphylaxis in developed and developing countries. Individuals with peanut allergies are in danger of peanut exposure in cases such as the use of raw materials contaminated with peanuts, cross contamination during processing, unintentional transport of allergens from common equipment, deliberate participation or non-compliance with labeling rules. In this study, peanut residue in cakes in Istanbul markets was investigated by ELISA to raise awareness and warn both consumers who are allergic to peanuts and food producers. For this purpose, a total of 84 cake samples were collected, including 42 packaged cakes that were declared free of peanuts on their labels and 42 unpackaged cakes that were declared free from peanuts by their producer/saller. As a result of the study, indicate that, the peanut residue was detected in one out of 42 analyzed packaged cake samples (2.4%) at a level of 6.15 ppm. Besides, in 6 unpackaged cake samples (14%) the peanut residue levels ranged between 2.5 ppm and 20 ppm. Moreover in 10 samples (23.8%) these levels were detected more than 20 ppm. In conclusion, cake samples sold with and without packaging may contain various amounts of peanut residiues and this situation, which does not comply with Turkish Food Codex, can be harmful for the public health and life threathening for the allergic induviduals.

Aims: Sexual dysfunction negatively affects women’s biological, psychological and social aspects of life, reducing their quality of life. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of bariatric surgery (BS) on sexual life, depression and quality of life in women. Methods: This prospective study was conducted at Medistate Hospital and İstanbul Medipol University Çamlıca Hospital between December 2022 and March 2023. Female sexual function index (FSFI) total score and FSFI subgroups (desire, arousal, hydration, orgasm, satisfaction, pain), Beck anxiety inventory (BAI) and Beck depression inventory (BDI) were compared in before and after BS. Results: The mean age and body mass index (BMI) of the subjects were 32.59±3.92 years and 33.44±3.18, respectively. BS led to significant improvement in total FSFI score (p<0.001) and all sexual domains. Results found a statistically significant association between BS andimprovement in total BDI score in women (p<0.001). There was statistically significant association between BS andimprovement in total BAI score in women (p<0.001). Conclusion: Our findings show the benefits of BS in improving sexual life and quality of life, at least for the first three months postoperatively.

On the throne of the cross Dimitrios I, Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople (1972-1991) His All Holiness Dimitrios I, Archbishop of Constantinople, New Rome, and Ecumenical Patriarch, died in Istanbul on the 2d of October 1991 after a heart attack. Dimitrios Papadopoulos, born in 1914 near Istanbul, studied at the Theological School at Chalki. After having spent a year in Northern Greece, he was ordained priest and looked after the parish in Feriköy at Istanbul. From 1945 to 1950 he organized the Greek Orthodox community in Teheran. Called back by patriarch Athenagoras I, he soon became auxiliary bishop of Istanbul. In 1972 he was appointed as metropolitan of Imbros and Tenedos, one of the four eparchies near Istanbul. After Athenagoras’ death he was unexpectedly and against his own will elected as ecumenical patriarch, while the Turkish authorities had refused the candidacy of other, more prominent members of the Holy Synod. Dimitrios I continued and developped the work of his predecessor: with the preparation of the panorthodox council; with his „dialogue of truth” (instead of the former „dialogue of love”) with the Roman Catholic Church; with his collaboration with the World Council of Churches. Progress certainly has been made, but no final goal has been achieved. A panorthodox council is still not in view. The "dialogue of truth" is hampered by Roman Catholic proselytism in Eastern Europe. The World Council of Churches has departed too much from its „base”. In the last years of his life Dimitrios could visit the Orthodox churches abroad, including the patriarchate of Moscow, as well as the Vatican, Canterbury and Geneva. In the U .S.A. he spoke to the United Nations. Thus he became an internationally well-known spiritual Orthodox leader. In the meantime he had to cope with extremist Turkish aggressivity at home. Dimitrios I was a humble successor of St. Andrew on, as he called it, „the throne of the cross”.

Full textAbstract:
Imagine a festival taking place before about five thousand people in a park in Adana, Turkey, in June 1992. In the middle of the park is a stage made of concrete. A touring Kurdish theatre company comprising four men, Hüseyin Kaytan, Kazım Öz, Nihat Öz, and Kemal Orgun, is performing a short play called Du Şivan (Two Shepherds). They enact a village raid and choose the villagers from among the audience. Kemal Orgun plays the commander of the task force raiding the village. The other three carry out the operation, rounding up the villagers. Orgun struts among the villagers, harassing them. All of a sudden, a woman jumps onstage and tries to grab the gun Orgun is carrying. He tries to wrest the gun from her, but she won't let go. A great commotion ensues, and more people clamber onstage to help the woman and attack the actors. When a man tries to strangle Orgun, he yells out in Kurdish, “Bira ma tu çi dikî, te ez kuştim?” (Hey my friend, what are you trying to do, kill me?). When the attacker finally understands Orgun is Kurdish, he releases and embraces him. Recounting this incident in his interview with me, Orgun remarks that they were almost lynched. The Kurdish woman who had jumped onstage and impulsively attacked Orgun had thought this was a real raid, just like those that had been taking place in Kurdish villages in Turkey for years. Her rage and instinctive self-protection is at one level slightly amusing, but this was also a bitter episode that demonstrated the consequences of the oppression of Kurdish people in the country. After the festival, Orgun and the other members named their theatre company Teatra Jiyana Nû (New Life Theatre). This became the foremost Kurdish theatre company and has trained many Kurdish actors, who in turn have further sustained and promoted Kurdish theatre by establishing their own companies.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to assess a comprehensive model that computes a single score in order to evaluate the sustainability of the municipal solid waste management (MSWM) system of a given city. The model was applied to calculate the sustainability index for the MSWM of Istanbul, Turkey as a case study. Design/methodology/approach – Different sustainability indicators (including environmental, economical, and social parameters) along with exergy analysis were integrated to utilize an analytical hierarchy process (AHP) under a life cycle perspective. Findings – The Istanbul case study helped to verify that AHP is an effective and efficient decision-making tool. According to the analysis, the current MSWM system of Istanbul is sustainable, and the sustainability can be improved only by changing the amounts to be treated by the current system without any new technological investments. Research limitations/implications – The Municipal Solid Waste Management Sustainability Index (MSWMSI) in this study allowed to integrate large amount of information on interrelated parameters and the sustainability indicators in the whole life cycle into one value that is useful for a general or a comparative judgment and helpful in MSWM decision making. Originality/value – The fact that the weighting assigned to each component in the model is dependent on the decision makers’ evaluations enables the model to be tailored to any city of concern. The model allows the user to readily determine the relative contribution of each criterion or sub-criterion to the final MSWM selection. It is convenient to use and the computations can be run utilizing available specialized software as well as computing by hand.

Full textAbstract:
Rather than write a classic biography of James Baldwin in the last cycle of his life—from his arrival in 1970 as a black stranger in the all-white medieval village of Saint-Paul, until his death there in 1987—I sought to discover the author through the eyes of people who knew him in this period. With this optic, I sought a wide variety of people who were in some way part of his life there: friends, lovers, barmen, writers, artists, taxi drivers, his doctors and others who retained memories of their encounters with Baldwin on all levels. Besides the many locals, contact was made with a number of Baldwin’s further afield cultural figures including Maya Angelou, Harry Belafonte, Sidney Poitier, Angela Davis, Bill Wyman, and others. There were more than seventy interviews in person in places as distant as Paris, New York or Istanbul and by telephone spread over four years during the preparatory research and writing of the manuscript. Many of the recollections centred on “at home with Jimmy” or dining at his “Welcome Table.”

Many people suffer loss of life and property due to the earthquake disaster in Turkey. In order to minimize this disaster, the resistance of the structures to earthquake should be determined under the light of studies done before. Turkey is in one of the most dangerous seismic regions in the World. As a sub plate between the large Eurasian, Arabian and African plates, Turkey rests on the Anatolian tectonic plate. Arabian plate in the direction of pushing Turkey to the North, the Anatolian plate moves in the opposite clockwise. However, it is prevented to move in the North direction due to the Eurasian plate. In this case, it contains many active faults and Turkey’s most populous city of Istanbul is in danger. In this study, it is aimed to perform a performance analysis according to the Turkey Building Earthquake Code 2018 in a six-story reinforced concrete shear wall-framed structure in Istanbul where active fault lines are located. This existing complex designed reinforced concrete building investigated in this study is in the city of ?stanbul, Turkey. This city is under danger of approaching and inevitable Great Istanbul Earthquake likely greater than Mw 7. The nonlinear seismic behavior of a complex reinforced concrete (RC) residential building is investigated by and linear and the static pushover. The selected reinforced concrete structure was designed according to 1998 version of Turkish Earthquake Code (TEC-1998). In the earthquake engineering, performance-based design method is used to determine the level of expected performance of the structures under the earthquake effect. According to the code, the reinforced concrete shear wall building is not expected to satisfy controlled damage (life safety) performance levels under design earthquake

Huseyin el-Kirmasti, who lived during the reigns of Fatih Sultan Mehmet and Bayezid II. Information about his life is scarce and limited. He was a prolific and versatile scholar who spent his life in Bursa and Istanbul, which became the capitals of the Ottomans. Kirmasti did not go to science centers such as Khorasan, Damascus and Egypt; instead, like Molla Husrev, he received all his education in Bursa and Istanbul, which served as the capitals of the Ottoman state. Having begun his education at home with his father Fakih Huseyin, Kirmasti took lessons from the prominent scholars of the time, especially Hocazâde Muslihuddin Efendi, the tutor of Fatih Sultan Mehmed. Kirmasti taught in Ottoman madrasahs and Sahn-ı Semân (a higher order madrasah) and became a judge in Bursa. He was appointed to Istanbul in order to benefit more from him due to his successful and qualified judgeship in Bursa. Although he worked as a judge in Bursa and Istanbul, he never stayed away from teaching and continued his teaching activities. Owing to his committment to truth and right, he received Bayezid II's appreciation and praise. Although it is known that Kirmasti, who spent his life as a professor, trained many students, there is no other name in the sources other than Mevlâ Shu'ayb et-Turâbî among the people who became students of his. Although Kemalpashazâde, who was an Ottoman sheikh and historian, is mentioned as one of his students in some studies conducted today, there is no information to confirm this in classical sources. Having begun writing books at a young age, Kirmasti became a versatile scholar who wrote works in many fields such as rhetoric, fiqh, fiqh method, qalam, logic and debate. This work named al-Veciz, which is considered as the concise version of Zübdetü'l-vusul on the fiqh method include ûlu'l-ahkâm, Zubdetu'l-vusûl to ilmi'l-usûl, al-Vajîz fi usûli'l-fiqh and al-Medâriku'l-asliyye ile'l-makâsıdi'l-feriyye. All of these four works, which were referred to in the sources in the relevant literature on the Fiqh Method were published. This study examines his work called al-Vajîz, which he wrote on the subject of fiqh. It is seen that Kirmasti wrote his works in a systematic way, possibly for educational purposes, written for their benefit in the educational process. Kirmasti wrote his works on method of fiqh using the mixed/memzûc method. Gelenbevî İsmâil Efendi, who is mostly known for his works in the fields of mathematics and logic, had Reisulkurra Abdullah Eyyubi, a recitation and grammar scholar, read and study al-Vacîz. Sacaklızâde Mehmed Efendi speaks highly of al-Vajîz in his Tertibu'l-ulûm. The fact that he had his students read and study Kirmasti's works on usûl-i fiqh and praised it, rather than the famous works of the great scholars of the Ottoman Empire on Hanafi method proves his success in this field. However, Kirmasti's referred to topics related to method of fiqh under the titles of mersad (observation), fasl (section/period), maqsad (purpose) and bab (topic). Although he pointed to the methodological views of the Shafi'i sect while treating the subjects in al-Wajiz, he adhered to the method of the Hanafi sect and based himself on the Hanafi method.

Full textAbstract:
The present study aims to investigate the mediating role of spirituality in the relationship between couples’ marital satisfaction and life satisfaction. The study was conducted following the relational design, one of the quantitative research methods. The study group included 586 married individuals residing in Istanbul, Turkey, of whom 525 were female and 61 were male. Three scales, the Married Life Scale the Life Satisfaction Scale, and the “Spiritual Orientation Scale, were used together with a demographic information form to collect data for the study. Moreover, descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analyzes were conducted over the course of the study. The analysis findings demonstrated that marital satisfaction predicted life satisfaction and spirituality, that spirituality predicted life satisfaction, and that spirituality played a partial mediating role in the relation between marital satisfaction and life satisfaction. In other words, it was determined that marital satisfaction had both a direct and, via spirituality, a indirect impact on life satisfaction. The findings are discussed in light of the literature.

Full textAbstract:
A rather small portion of old Slavonic literatures is thematically linked with the journey to the Holy Land. Of many Serbian pilgrims over the centuries only three left more detailed descriptions of Bulgarian places and parts: patriarch Arsenije III, Jerotej of Raca and Silvestar Popovic. They described, each in his own way, some of the places and areas along the road to Istanbul or Salonika. Their vivid depiction of encounters with people and observations about the places they saw on their way reveal only a fragment of life in the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Ottoman empire. In a seemingly ordinary way, they incorporate into their own epoch the legends heard from the people they met. The descriptions of Bulgarian parts in the Serbian accounts of pilgrimage have all the appeal that generally characterizes travel literature. Although their literary value is modest they belong among the works characterized by the simplicity and immediacy of experience. Rather than being the result of a strong literary ambition, they are witness to the need to speak about the great journey, quite an adventurous enterprise at the time.

Objective: Depression, one of the most prevalent psychiatric disorders, causes disability and reduces quality of life. Rates of clinical depression in community samples of older adults range between 1–16%. Most studies of old age depression have been conducted in developed countries. The present study was conducted to determine the prevalence of depressive disorders among Turkish elderly in an urban community.Method: This study was carried out in the Kadiköy district of Istanbul. The sample for the cross-sectional part of the study was 1067 individuals age 70 or older, randomly selected from population registries. Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Mini-mental State Examination (MMSE) scores and demographic data were obtained by face-to-face home interviews. The data were analyzed using regression analysis for each variable.Results: The study group consisted of 623 (61%) females and 395 (39%) males. The mean age was 74.8 years, with 63% of subjects aged 70–74, 29% between 75–84 years old and 8% aged 85 and above. Sixteen percent (n=163) of the total group scored 14 or higher on the GDS. Only 9% of the depressed group were on antidepressant medication. Logistic regression analysis indicated that significant predictors for higher scores GDS scores were: illiteracy, aged 75–79 yrs, female sex and having 4 or more children.Conclusion: Depression is a common but unrecognized and thus untreated problem among the elderly population in Turkey. While gender and age are unmodifiable, education level and multiparity can be altered. Education of caregivers and medical staff about old age depression may increase its rate of detection and facilitate improved treatment.

Full textAbstract:
The desire to raise a family with as many children as possible was a major aspiration of Jewish families in the Ottoman Empire for centuries. Many halakhic responses and other sources address this subject and its impact on Jewish families and society. This paper reviews how Sephardic Jewish society in the Ottoman cities of Istanbul, Izmir and Salonica (Thessaloniki) grappled with the reality of barren men and women – which was quite common – from 1500-1850, and how Jewish courts resolved cases that involved men’s requests to marry a second wife in order to fulfill the commandment of procreation. It discusses how the desire to procreate was realized through the institution of marriage, the undesirability of single life, the age at marriage, yibum (levirate marriage), women’s desire for children, the impact of kabbalah on fulfillment of the commandments, contraception, fertility treatments, the effect of child mortality on parents, and how the longing for children affected the private life of prominent individuals.

PurposeResidential satisfaction can be viewed as a part of life satisfaction. There are many studies related to the relationship between residents’ satisfaction with their environments and the quality of those environments. The purpose of this paper is to examine how this satisfaction differs according to the type of residential environment.Design/methodology/approachIt is based on empirical data on the quality of life in the different residential environments of the Istanbul Metropolitan Area. The primary source of information was a household survey.FindingsIn an attempt to find solutions to problems with the quality of residential environments, the data were analyzed through several variables related to the subjective perceptions of residential satisfaction. According to the results of the research, residents living in planned neighborhoods in the city are more satisfied than those living in unplanned neighborhoods. The residents who live in the planned sections of the city are satisfied with the attractiveness and accessibility of their neighborhoods, while those who live in unplanned sections of the city are satisfied with their level of attachment to their neighborhoods.Practical implicationsThe study was designed to produce baseline data so that future changes in residential conditions as perceived by the residents of Istanbul could be monitored to support decisions for residential areas.Originality/valueComparative case studies, especially on planned vs unplanned environments, are relatively limited in number. Therefore, there is a need for new researches examining differences between different residential settings within cities. This study adds value to the field of comparative studies on residential environments.

Full textAbstract:
This paper examines the influence of Renaissance themes and techniques in art on miniaturist painting in Istanbul and on shaping Michelangelo’s attitude to sculptor and painting in Italy. The clash between Eastern and Western painting techniques is part of the conflict in Orhan Pamuk’s My Name is Red. The novel is set in sixteenth-century Istanbul and the main characters are miniaturists who inherited the Persian style of painting. Istanbul people were very religious and the Muslim miniaturists felt unconfident and constantly tortured about their paintings. Artists were considered trying to imitate God and create their own perception of the world. The miniaturists of the novel are commissioned to adopt Venetian art with its emphasis on lifelike painting and individuality. Consequently they suffer of whether their creative work is considered blasphemous, or not. My Name is Red is juxtaposed to Irving Stone’s biographical novel The Agony and the Ecstasy. The novel is set in approximately the same time that the events took place in My Name is Red. It concerns the life and work of the Renaissance Florentine painter and sculptor Michelangelo. The study examines the cultural atmosphere that determined Michelangelo’s approach to art. It also addresses how religion has been the main source of inspiration for Michelangelo’s themes, and consequently it was the medium through which he presented his own version of man. Both novels are examined according to the relation of Renaissance humanism to art and religion.

Full textAbstract:
Upon his death, Count Jacobus Colyer (d. 1725), the Dutch Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, left his Greek wife Catterina de Bourg in a state of debt. The countess appears to have struggled to survive after a life of conspicuous consumption and extravagant luxury in the Ambassadorial palace. Possibly because of her seemingly proud attitude, she was often met with prejudice and malice by her husband’s relatives, travelers to the Ottoman Empire, the new Dutch Ambassador, other members of the foreign communities of Istanbul, and even her own servants. When she died in 1730, an inventory of her remaining possessions was drawn up, and most of her belongings were auctioned off to cover her debts. The records of her possessions and their auction as well as her private correspondence offer a rare glimpse into the ‘world’ of this Dutch-Greek countess. These records bear witness to her exquisite taste in commodities brought to Istanbul from all over the world, but also of her destitute situation after the demise of her husband.
