There are many data used in historical research studies which are preserved in the forms of documents, records, almanacs, journals and memoires that shed light on events or help us understand them from various aspects. On the other hand, verbal resources, the witnesses of the period from past to date, are first-hand documents of such kind, but are different in that they were not recorded. The objective of this study is to draw attention to the contribution of verbal sources and memory studies which can present more humane, or “realistic” aspect of the issues scrutinized in history studies. Hence, as the subject of history, verbal sources will be recorded under the name of social memory and put under protection. By this means, the historian will look out for history’s retrospective marks, therefore the other half of history that completes the other part of it. In this sense, the study aims at revealing the need for developing historical research studies from this aspect.

This research was designed to assist difficulties in producing a quality three dimensional (3D) visual object among architecture undergraduate students at Polytechnic Malacca, Malaysia. This study focuses on a studio practice process of illustration drawing based on a style used by a prominent architect, Jomathir. Jomathir produces hybrid 'Art' and 'Architecture Graphic Presentation Drawing' (A+AGPD) as illustrative graphic presentation. This research adopted qualitative research approach. The methods used to collect data were interview, observation and artefact analysis. The organization of Line Visual Art (LVA) was analysed based on art elements which include appearance, line, shape, form, texture and colour in order to form Three Dimensional Illustration Line Drawing Objects Manually (3DiLDom). The process consists of the best technique by Jomathir as Subject Matter Expert (SME) using researchers exploring analysis study and synthesize the work of ‘studio practice’ produced by an expert guided Edmund Burke Feldman critical theory. This study helps in the development of students’ drawing ability using line techniques with new approach and contributes to the curriculum and pedagogy in the area of drawing model development; shifted from a Traditional Learning Approach (TDA) to a Self-Access Learning (SAL) to draw their manually drawing and painting environment for student-centred teaching transformation.

Factors such as population growth rate, industrialization, increase in urbanization rate, unplanned urbanization, consumption of pesticides, climate change, which are experienced during the history of mankind, cause environmental pollution affecting future generations especially water resources. This situation, which constitutes a global public problem in today's world, has particularly reached threatening levels for usable/potable water resources. Under the prediction that the world will face 40% water scarcity by 2030, it is important that the rainwater will be stored and made usable. The article includes the applied fiscal policies around the world (e.g. public standards/practices, public incentive policies, output/result-oriented policies).

There are vital institutions serving the production, distrubution and consumption of the contemporary art works and constituting the value of art. One of those institutions, an Auction House, as being solely a commercial entity, directly affects the perception of the art value via pricing. However, market value is not necessarily a fair and sufficient indicator and does not necessarily correspond to the artist’s career path. According to the artists, the perception of value attributed by that price per se, harmed the artists’ reputations and careers. This research aimed to analyze the presence of Auction Houses in Turkish contemporary art market.

Visualized information has not lost its significance since from time that we were living in caves. Visual support to information that is meant to be explained, or its totally visual presentation, facilitates its reaching to the target audience. Information transfer throughout images is a long process, ranging from pictograms to graphics and even motion graphics. We frequently meet with these images in our everyday lives. These infographics, which facilitate our everyday life, provide us a faster understanding of the environment we are living in or the information we read.

For handling the problem from different point of views and for reaching correct solutions through these views, different branches of science should be used in scientific studies together. Interdisciplinary studies, by using different disciplines which provides different approaches to the problem, make the studies richer. This study aims to emphasize the importance of the depth which is provided by different disciplines in musical researches and to help to widespread these kinds of studies. In this study, the usage of statistical methods by the help of computer technology is worked out. The meanings and the usage of some statistical terms in musical researches like maximum-minimum values, range, standard deviation, grouping, line up, median, kurtosis and skewness are tried to be explained by giving some examples.

This work focuses on the communication processes used in the nation construct process. The study is part of the debate about power, legitimacy and public relations. The issue that, Government what kind of communication strategies used to ensure the legitimacy during periods of social change and transformation are important in the debates. Accordingly, systematic and power-based change and transformation, rather than an autonomous change, has become a way to be used in nation. Since suppressing and ignoring is the most undesirable method for change, public relations are to be regarded as an application of power. Telling people the innovations has been a problem for The New Turkish Republic in its foundation years. This point is also to be clarified and explained in a systematic way. However, examining the communication strategies and practices that are used throughout the innovations of the Republican period has many difficulties. For this reason, the communication applications used in the "letters revolution" process have been discussed. In the study, news of Cumhuriyet newspaper that published in those years were examined. The new letters began to be used in November 1, 1928. In the light of the data obtained as a result of the examination, a descriptive explanation was made on the axis of the question "How is the nation constructed as a reality that is shaped by the communication applications in terms of power?"
