Artificial intelligence algorithms offer marketers an insight to understand consumer behavior. Algorithms that follow the clicks of the consumer and create content based on their past likes offer efficiency and profitability advantages to businesses. Also consumers can focus on offers they may like. On the other hand, the consumer, monitored by the algorithms, connects to a single brand over time, always buys products from same retailers, is forced to buy similar products, is unable to see alternative products and service offers and choose more advantageous one for him. This situation is described by the concept of "filter bubble". According to Pariser, who named the concept, the situation which is called the "filter bubble effect", affects the society negatively by causing the polarization of ideas. In this review, which aims to provide a framework for future research efforts, the process from big data to the formation of personalization algorithms and the effect of creating a filter bubble in the consumer's mind are evaluated from a conceptual point of view with the approaches of different researchers. The subject is examined from the perspective of consumer psychology and ethics, and some examples are given. As a result, in order to avoid the influence of artificial intelligence, it is pointed out that it is possible for the consumer to avoid digital manipulation by having technology knowledge; it is necessary to spend more time learning the language of algorithms as much as possible, questioning their suggestions, and reaching the right information. In addition, it is also emphasized that digital marketing applications should include mutually beneficial surveillance and that the use of data should not lead to insecurity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Idioms are formed of joining of words. In syntax, the places of the idioms cant be changed. Idioms are language elements which are ready to be used during speech and writing. For me by combining of more than one words, idioms are the core of society. From this point, of view, idioms that are accumulations of nations based on long years, expose the philosophical sub-structure of societies in the texts. To have knowledge about socities, firstly checking the idioms that are language input will simplify the researcher's work, develop his point of view. In as much as, if individuals studying on their languages want to deal with common point of view, studying the idioms with an diachronic point of view will be enough. Making social evaluations with critical point of view in recent period Turkish literature and using this especially in his theatre plays, it is inevitably expected that Haldun Taner uses idioms. In this work, cliched statements-idioms, which are used in the 13 theatre plays of Haldun Taner and animate the expression, are examined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a philosopher the most important problematic of Ziya Gökalp is the relation between modern civilization and Islam. Gökalp's thougts about this issue take place in his books named Türklesmek- Ðslamlasmak-Muasirlasmak and Türkçülüğün Esaslari and in his articles. The relationships of Islam with modernism have also been the main theme in Ðslam Mecmuasi which was published by Halim Sabit Sibay. In this journal, Ziya Gökalp's articles had been published as well. Two of these don't take place in Gökalp's bibliographies and his collected literature as they were published unsigned. In this study, the articles were examined both from the philological and thematic points of view. The consequence is that without the articles called \"Ðslamiyet ve Asrî Medeniyet\", Gökalp's point of views about Islam and modern civilization cannot be understood completely. At the end of this study, translation of articles with Latin characters and their original publications' facsimile were presented for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
