Osho's Approach to Yoga and Tantra Methods on the Path to Ultimate Liberation

Muhammet Yıldız — 2024-06-15

Throughout history, humanity has mostly viewed the life it has lived as a stepping stone to an eternal life. For this reason, human beings have constantly tried to investigate and make sense of the nature, why and why of existence. Man's search for meaning has revealed many intellectual movements. This quest, which originates from the natural structure of man, expresses itself even more strongly in different ways, even though it seems to be suppressed in today's society of pleasure and speed, where the tangible is constantly valued. Nowadays, people living in depression are searching for ways that will ultimately lead them to salvation, and at this point they are turning to new religious movements. In this context, the Osho movement attracted our attention. Osho's glorification of the human body and expansion of areas of freedom, contrary to masochistic approaches to achieving ultimate salvation, are attractive to individuals. Osho sees yoga and tantra as different methods and claims that tantra is the more effective scientific technique in reaching ultimate salvation. Therefore, in this article, Osho's approach to the teaching of Tantra as a way to attain ultimate liberation will be discussed.

Gulbarshyn Rakhymbayeva — 2024-06-15

When checking speech activity, the most important component is to determine the state of coherent speech of children with general speech underdevelopment. The work on speech development is very closely related to play, physical education, music, and the formation of elementary mathematical concepts. Each action has its own characteristic tasks to be solved, issues of speech development of children with hearing impairment. Various types of artistic activities also play an important role in a child's development. These include sensory perception, the formation of ideas about the environment, and emotional and aesthetic effects. According to special psychological data, a child's coherent speech is carried out only if he consciously perceives objects of the environment. Therefore, it was noticed that educational work, such as teaching coherent speech, the ability to make sentences from words, providing a conscious understanding of the meaning of individual words, analyzing the sound composition of words in a sentence, understanding the order of place, is not carried out enough in special schools.

The State of Traditional and Social Media in Sudan

Rawan Husseen Hassan Mohammed — 2024-06-15

This paper investigates the media landscape in the Republic of Sudan, focusing on both traditional and social media platforms. Traditional media, including radio and television, serves a wide audience by providing content in various languages, encompassing both local and international perspectives, though these media outlets are subject to governmental control. In contrast, social media platforms play a critical role in Sudanese society by offering an interactive space for individuals to express their opinions, share news, and disseminate information. These platforms have become pivotal for grassroots movements, enabling the Sudanese populace to voice concerns and advocate for social causes. However, it is imperative to recognize that social media also poses the risk of perpetuating misinformation and false narratives. Therefore, it is essential for users to exercise critical discernment regarding the information encountered. In conclusion, the judicious use of both traditional and social media platforms is crucial in shaping the future trajectory of Sudan and fostering substantive connections among its citizens.

Psychogeographic Maps and Mobility in Tony Chakar's Alternative Urbanism Approach

Songül Geldi — 2024-06-15

Thinking about cities, producing ideas or presenting a new mise en scene, the process of city formation, impressions, fragmentations, traces, architectural designs, non-uniform view, mobility, fluidity, heterogeneity, dissolution, transformation, lifestyle, conflicts, wars, the connotations-contradictions it evokes, begin in proportion to seeing and confronting them. In this context, the works of architect and contemporary artist Tony Chakar, which produce an alternative history against the state-supported amnesic official narrative around the crisis of representing the experienced violence history and social trauma of “missing” subjects who are effectively silenced or rendered invisible by the neoliberal denial policies and narratives of Beirut and Beirut city center (Downtown), which is likened to an incubator of religious-ethnic conflicts in the 1975-1990 Lebanese Civil War, will be discussed. In this study, which is shaped around the relationship between war, city, space, memory and architecture, the lost image of the city divided by the civil war, the missing persons of the war, mass graves, modernity and neoliberal economic policies, and the temporarily suspended amnesic existence of the Downtown, which was transferred to the population of the real estate company Solidere (Societé Libanaise, le Développement et la Reconstruction de la Centre Ville de Beyrouth), will be evaluated through Chakar’s works Eyeless Map, Yesterday’s Man and The Sky Over Beirut. These works of the artist, which are an effort and expression of recovery after the civil war, are analyzed by discussing whether the Downtown causes individual and social dissolution, contradiction, anxiety, uncertainty and displacement, accompanied by architectural structures, memories, narratives, mapping, imaginary representations and city walks, around the themes of space, memory and trauma. In addition, the question of whether there is a Lefebvre and Situationist influence on Chakar's work on Solidere's demand for the right to the city in response to new memory spaces is discussed and answered.

Berat Akkaya — 2024-06-15

Symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) typically begin in childhood but often persist into adulthood. The present study examined adult ADHD. Symptoms such as attention problems, impulsivity, sleep disturbances, and hyperactivity are observed in most cases. Besides biological and genetic factors, environmental stimuli also play a role in the emergence of the disorder. In this study, a 20-year-old female client who met the criteria for ADHD according to DSM-V was treated within the cognitive-behavioural therapy framework. The client sought therapy particularly after the onset of certain symptoms, notably during the period of university entrance exams. The content of the sessions is sequentially described in the research. To enhance the effectiveness of therapy during these sessions, resources such as the Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Therapy Goals Form, and Automatic Thoughts Exam Form were utilized. In addition to these, the client was given various assignments to promote insight. The client's core beliefs and automatic thoughts were compiled into a table. Following the acquisition of sufficient coping strategies and learning to utilize strong internal resources, a farewell session was conducted, and the sessions were concluded.
