The understanding and production of art has gained momentum with the various effects of the culture that has slowly formed with the changing living conditions from the first people to the present and the rapidly developing technology. Products produced for various reasons in primitive life periods have developed over time and have had profound effects on human life. In these periods, many artistic elements related to the culture of the society were included in all the products that were handled without being classified according to the purpose of use. The traces of the rich dream world of the primitive peoples were encountered in the studies, in which formal simplicity was observed. The works were not aimed to be realistic, the measurements were often exaggerated, and the pieces that seemed important were emphasized with changes in color or proportion. The diversity in lines and geometrical structures that primitive people discovered and used thanks to their talents caused an improvement in their aesthetic perceptions and thus provided support for today's artists to better understand the form. African Primitivism first gained a place in the art community as a result of Paul Gauguin's research, and thanks to the artworks produced by the artists of the period with the sensitivity they showed against racism, it became a culture recognized by the western peoples. Primitive art emerged as a reflection of the cultures of African peoples, but it showed its existence in the history of art with the steps taken by Western artists who were affected by this culture to preserve the culture. The unusual expression of primitive art on line, color and form did not escape the attention of Picasso, one of the intellectual artists of the period. The artist, who conducts research on many social and cultural problems, also supported the studies carried out to protect the culture of the African peoples, who were exploited by the Western states with the colonization method. Pablo Picasso, who is in constant motion in his art life, was influenced by African culture and prepared the ground for his future works by interpreting it with his own artistic understanding. 2024-08-29 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62695 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62695 Özlem KUM Semiotics is the science that studies the underlying meanings of signs. While performing semiotic analysis, many variables are evaluated together and there is a purpose of revealing and making sense of the messages presented directly or indirectly in the analysis. According to the theory of Roland Barthes, signs turn into the "Sign", "Signifier", "Signed" system by going through the process of comprehension, understanding and interpretation. The aim of the article is to present a case study by examining Roland Barthes' semiotic method and Savaş Hammer's book cover designs. By analyzing the indicators in the selected 10 book cover designs, it was tried to reveal the hidden indicators in the background in order to reach the unsaid as well as the said. In the article, literature review was used to obtain information about the book covers designed by Savaş Çekiç, and the semiotic analysis method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used for the analysis of the selected books. Book covers were analyzed by Barthes's analysis method consisting of "Signifier", "Signifier", "Signified". Making productions such as illustrations, books and magazine catalogs in his own design workshop, Savaş Çekiç made cover designs with a unique characteristic approach in connection with his interest in literature. Çekiç's book cover designs, which prefer simplicity and narratives with images in its essence, have a style that contains meaning in the content and accompanies the story. When the cover designs are analyzed, it has been concluded that the books contain images and indicators based on the narrative, and the ideas revealed by Çekiç's interdisciplinary communication and the narratives accompanying the story. In his designs for poetry books, it is possible to find an approach that accompanies poetry rather than the meaning of a poem. 2024-08-29 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62826 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62826 Hülya CAMCIMuhammet Lütfullah GÜVENÇ In this study, it was tried to evaluate the leadership behaviors of female school administrators from the perspective of teachers. The population consists of teachers working in primary, secondary and high schools in Avcılar District. 50 teachers determined by simple random sampling method from this population constitute the sampling of the study. The sample was determined on a voluntary basis to represent the population. The aim of this study is to reveal whether the leadership styles of female school administrators can be affected positively or negatively by different factors. When examined in general, it was seen that female managers determined a strong, innovative, meticulous, entrepreneurial and fair management style in the perception of leadership. However, it is seen that being emotional put them in a disadvantageous position at the point of decision-making. Although the number of female teachers in the field of education is high in Turkey, female administrators are much less than male administrators. In this, the traditional social and cultural structure in our society affects women's view of management. There is no opposition to the leadership of women individually in Turkey. Working overtime in management, the obligation of women to manage their home and business life together, and the refusal of higher managers to work with female managers are the main obstacles. 2024-08-29 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62891 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62891 Melih KUTLUDiler TÜRKOĞLU Access to long-term equity and debt financing is more scarce than in developed country financial markets such as Turkey. It is sometimes unclear how and in what way they can get short or long-term loans under the financial system. Even the most developed financial system is able to lend some borrowers at much lower or higher interest rates than they would like. A firm's optimal capital structure depends on its credit quality, growth ratio, profitability of projects, and ability to financing projects. The benefits of long-term financing not only apply to borrowers, but also to lenders and financial intermediaries. Lenders may be willing to enter into long-term financial contracts because yields are higher than short-term contracts and the maturity of these contracts can meet their long-term savings needs. Long-term financing can contribute to higher growth and lower macroeconomic volatility for the economy,. Tech firms' lack of technical capability is related to the speed with which they adopt new technologies. The R&D and production processes of new technologies should be supported with long-term financing. For this reason, the aim of this study is to investigate the effect of capital structures of companies in Borsa Istanbul Technology Index on their profitability. The study conduct with annual data between the years 2010-2020 and 14 companies that are constantly traded in Borsa Istanbul using Panel Data Analysis. In the study, return on assets and return on equity are used as dependent variables. Equity/asset, long-term debt/asset, leverage and liquidity ratios are used as independent variables. The effect of equity/asset ratio on return on assets has been determined. The findings show that R&D-intensive technology firms do not benefit from the leverage effect and have problems in terms of long-term borrowing. 2024-08-29 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62902 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=62902 Nadire KARADEMİR As in the whole world, in Turkey, with the increasing competition between cities, strategies are being developed for branding and creating themes and new searches are emerging.

The positive relationship between academic career and chess has been tried to be explained within the scope of the study by examining the contribution of playing chess to the development of cognitive abilities and mathematical skills in learning, through its role in academic life, by examining the problem-solving abilities of students at different education levels, the contribution of the predicted achievements to the students, and their role on their success. These results showed that we can use chess as an effective tool in education, and it has been suggested to use chess as a material that allows to improve children's school performance in the fields of mathematics and reading, which are the most used areas. In this context, educational and psychological researches were examined and explanations were made to examine the benefits of playing chess. It is aimed that these two departments, which interact with each other in academic success, make the study a whole. In line with this goal, it has been concluded that the opportunities offered by classical education programs are not sufficient for individual development due to the necessity of adapting to new conditions in the field of education in accordance with the challenges brought by the modern age. For this reason, attempts have been made recently to renew existing programs through the introduction of new educational techniques and better knowledge in the school and preschool age. One of these new techniques is the game of chess, which has proven to be an effective educational tool. The important benefits of chess can be divided into cognitive elements, concentration, memory and logical thinking, which we can count as necessary skills for the development of each individual; critical thinking factors: develop the ability to evaluate strengths and weaknesses, form value judgments, develop creativity through decision making and problem solving. Besides these main factors, there are causal links with improvements in literacy as well as better results in math, attitude and general behavior. The main advantage of using chess as a formal or informal learning tool in education is that all these benefits can be obtained, which is of exceptional value in preschool and school age. 2024-08-29 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=63016 https://asrjournal.org/?mod=makale_tr_ozet&makale_id=63016 Emel ERKAPLAN Gülhan GÜLDÜR Long historical background of Anatolia and effects of different cultures since centuries have played an important role for the Turkish dressing up culture to have a rich structure.
