Technological advancement has not been equally distributed. It has differed from country to country, region to region, and even among individuals. As a result, the digital divide has emerged as an umbrella term to represent these disparities. Recently, the research focus has shifted to the outcomes of information and communication technology usage or tangible benefits (the third-level digital divide). As an emerging economy, Türkiye must overcome the digital divide to maximise tangible benefits. Thus, this research starts by determining the digital divide indicators for Türkiye and goes further to examine the digital divide between regions in Türkiye. The main aim is to present a comprehensive index for the regional scale that is currently missing in the literature. To do so, this research starts with exploring the digital divide indicators. Then, with the help of principal component analysis (PCA), a new index is formulated for Türkiye. The result maps indicate digital inequalities both at regional and city scales, yet inequalities are more remarkable at the city scale. Increasing the diversity of technology usage, focusing on gender equality, expanding R&D expenditures, and supporting initiatives, especially ICT initiatives, will assist Türkiye in reducing digital inequalities.

The analysis of shape is a fundamental part of much biological research. Morphometrics, which incorporates concepts from biology, geometry, and statistics, is the study of the geometrical form of organisms. In addition, morphometric characteristics can be used to differentiate ‘phenotypic stocks’ as groups with similar growth, mortality, and reproductive rates. In this study, 25 morphometric characters were used to discriminate European pilchard (Sardina pilchardus) stocks from Türkiye. Intraspecific variation of the European pilchard was investigated based on morphometric characters. Samples were collected from the Aegean Sea (AS; N = 54), the Sea of Marmara (MS; N = 50) and the Mediterranean Sea (MEDS; N = 50) during the 2019 fishing season. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Canonical Discriminant Analysis (CDA) were used for stock discrimination of the European pilchard. Univariate statistics (ANOVA) showed that 24 of the 25 measurements differed significantly between samples to a varying degree ( p < 0.001). According to CDA, an overall classification success rate of 87.7% was achieved using 12 morphometric parameters. All samples were clearly separated from each other in the discriminant space, suggesting that there was no strong intermingling between populations. In addition, we would like to conclude that the morphological difference is not at the genetic level, and would like to emphasize the need for additional stock discrimination methods.

The aim of this study is to examine differences in women’s perceptions of travel constraints by personality trait, according to age, educational level, personal income, travelled destination, the purpose of travelling, the time spent travelling, the region travelled to and the factors that affect the choice of destination. The survey data collected from a sample of 304 women travellers were analyzed by performing one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The results showed that there are significant differences between women’s perceptions of travel constraints and personal income, the region they travelled to and the purpose of travelling. Significant differences between women’s personality traits and age, education level, duration of travel, destination and destination choice were also found.

The purpose of this study is to assess heavy metal and selenium pollution in water and sediment of Lake Eğirdir using some indices. The water and sediments have the highest content of Fe. According to Water Quality Index (WQI) results, the lake water is in the good category, while the low pollution category depends on HPI and HEI values. The Enrichment Factor (EF) showed that the sediments contained very high, extremely high and significant levels of Pb, Cr, Cu, Mn, Ni and Fe. The Geoaccumulation Index (Igeo) revealed that Lake Eğirdir was not polluted with Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni and Zn. Based on the results of the Contamination Factor (CF), Cr, Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo, Ni and Zn were in the low contamination category. The results of The Pollution Load Index (PLI) for lake sediments indicated no contamination for all metals in all seasons. Sediment quality guidelines were used to determine the possible risk of heavy metal contamination of sediments, and the results show that Cd and Pb were at the minimal effect threshold (MET), while Cr, Cu, Ni and Zn were at the lowest effect levels (LEL). These results indicate that precautions should be taken to prevent an increase in metal pollution and reduce the existing pollution.

The article concerns the characteristics and assessment of the Mecca pilgrimage trends among the inhabitants of Konya Province (Türkiye) in 2017–2021, i.e. before and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the pandemic on: (a) the tourism of the provincial inhabitants to Mecca, (b) the activities of local religious tourism operators, and (c) the sense of psychological discomfort in those who could not participate in a pilgrimage. The study concerned the inhabitants of Konya Province due to the deeply rooted conservatism and high religiosity distinguishing this society. The study was conducted through the methods of investigating sources, expert interview and diagnostic survey. The interviews were conducted at selected Konya travel agencies that organise pilgrimages and at the Konya Valiligi Mudurlugu il Muftulugu. In addition, using an online survey questionnaire, inhabitants of the province were asked if and how their level of psychological comfort was affected by not being able to make the pilgrimage to Mecca during the pandemic. The results showed that the pandemic significantly weakened the previously growing trend of pilgrimages to Islamic holy sites in the analysed community. It also elicited changes in the offers of local tour operators who were forced to open other destinations. To a lesser extent, it affected the feeling of discomfort of provincial inhabitants resulting from the lack of opportunity to make such trips.

Od 2002 r. na tureckiej scenie politycznej niesłabnącym poparciem cieszy się Partia Sprawiedliwości i Rozwoju i jej niekwestionowany lider, obecnie przywódca państwa Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. Zachodzące w Turcji procesy określa się mianem „erdoganizacji tureckiej polityki”. Następuje ona zarówno na poziomie polityki wewnętrznej państwa, jak i polityki zagranicznej, określanej jako „polityka zagraniczna Erdoğana”. Procesy te postępują równolegle ze wzrostem roli, którą Erdoğan odgrywa we własnym ugrupowaniu. Stał się on bowiem niekwestionowanym przywódcą partii, a następnie również całego państwa. Jego postać oceniania jest również pozytywnie w społeczeństwach innych państw muzułmańskich. W przypadku Turcji ważną kwestią wymagającą analizy stało się dostosowanie rozwiązań instytucjonalnych do zmieniającej się pozycji poszczególnych podmiotów i zwrócenie uwagi na wzmocnienie roli jednostki/przywódcy w obrębie systemu politycznego państwa.

Since 2002, the Justice and Development Party and its undisputed leader, the current leader of the state, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, have enjoyed unwavering support on the Turkish political scene. The processes taking place in Türkiye are referred to as the “erdoganisation of Turkish politics.” It is happening both at the level of the state’s internal policy and foreign policy, referred to as “Erdoğan’s foreign policy.” These processes are proceeding in parallel with the growing role that Erdoğan plays in his own party. He became the undisputed leader of the party, and then of the entire state. He is also positively evaluated in the societies of other Muslim states. In the case of Türkiye, an important issue that required analysis was the adaptation of institutional solutions to the changing position of individual entities and paying attention to strengthening the role of the individual/leader within the political system of the state.

Post-)migration literature by Polish and Turkish authors in Germany is no longer an artistic elaboration of life abroad, a view of the West from an Eastern perspective or a reflection of traumas, phobias and dreams from the old homeland. More and more frequently, writers with foreign roots refer to the German past and present. Similarly to authors of Turkish origin, Polish writers and journalists living in Germany are reporting on the country of their childhood-and that is not always a sentimental view. Ideological polarization, anti-democratic tendencies, patriarchy, religious radicalism, phantom pains and longing for the imperial past, nationalism and idealization of one’s own history, division of the country into pro-Western metropolises and a conservative province form a background for the journey through the rediscovered country of origin-in Poland and in Türkiye. Emilia Smechowski’s Return to Poland: Expeditions to my home country (2019) and the report by the German-Turkish sociologist Necla Kelek Bittersweet Home: Report from the interior of Turkey (2008) form the starting point for a comparative analysis of the authoritarian potentials in both societies.

(Post-)Migrationsliteratur polnischer und türkischer Autoren in Deutschland ist nicht mehr eine künstlerische Aufarbeitung des Lebens in der Fremde, ein Blick auf den Westen aus östlicher Perspektive oder ein Spiegelbild von Traumata, Phobien und Träumen aus der alten Heimat. Schriftsteller mit ausländischen Wurzeln beziehen sich in ihren Werken immer häufiger auf die deutsche Geschichte und Gegenwart. Ähnlich wie die Autoren türkischer Herkunft, berichten auch die in Deutschland lebenden polnischen Schriftsteller und Publizisten über das Land ihrer Kindheit – und das ist nicht immer ein sentimentaler Blick. Ideologische Polarisierung, antidemokratische Tendenzen, Patriarchat, religiöser Radikalismus, Phantomschmerzen und Sehnsucht nach der imperialen Vergangenheit, Nationalismus und Idealisierung der eigenen Geschichte, Teilung des Landes in prowestliche Metropolen und in eine konservative Provinz bilden einen Hintergrund für die Wanderung durch das wiederentdeckte Herkunftsland – in Polen und in der Türkei. Emilia Smechowskis Rückkehr nach Polen. Expeditionen in mein Heimatland (2019) und die Reportage der deutsch-türkischen Soziologin Necla Kelek Bittersüße Heimat: Bericht aus dem Inneren der Türkei (2008) bilden den Ausgangspunkt für eine vergleichende Analyse der autoritären Potentiale in beiden Gesellschaften.
