Today, especially with the globalization process, Turkish TV series are becoming widespread on the international market as a product of the culture industry, and gradually increasing their impact. During this period, in which the 2000s constituted an important breaking point, Turkish TV series reached a wide audience in Latin American countries as well as in the Middle East, the Balkans, Eurasia and Southeast Asia. The fact that Turkish TV series are followed with interest and have a large audience in Latin American countries, as in many other countries of the world, shows that Turkish TV series have important effects on the social structures and audiences of Latin American countries. This study aims to examine the main factors and dynamics that make Turkish TV series effective in Latin American societies as a product of the culture industry. Within the scope of the study, the findings obtained as a result of in-depth interviews with 20 people using the qualitative research method were analyzed through descriptive analysis. The research findings revealed that Turkish TV series have positive impacts on the social structure of Latin American societies towards Türkiye, as well as stimulating the learning of eating and drinking habits, clothing preferences, and more importantly, learning Turkish language and culture, which will affect social change.

Philological methods of afnalysis are not only perfectly congruous with reflections of a poetic order, but especially in the comprehension of a mediaeval epic tale, western or eastern. Philology practised as the art of unveiling images behind sounds and forms, figures and structures, communicates poetically, thus significantly the polyphonic import of the mediaeval epic tale. To defend this philological-poetics experience this paper compares the Turkic Dede Korkut Kitabı with the Armenian David of Sassoun, the poetic structures of the Tamil Periya Puranam, the iconic singularity of the Chinese Ji Bu Ma Zhen (Ji Bu Insulting the Enemy) and the Byzantine Digenis Akritas set within an Anatolian sub-koinê landscape with the Book of Dede Korkut and David of Sassoun. Homage has been rendered to three philologists whose philological training and academic works led them to the most extraordinary poetic works of art: F. Nietzsche, P.P. Pasolini and J.R.R. Tolkien.

This study aims to determine the relationship between inflation and the independence of central banks in post-Soviet, developed, and developing countries. The hypothesis of a negative statistical relationship between the inflation rate and the values of the CWN and GMT central bank independence indices and their constituent subindices for post-Soviet, developed, and developing countries for 2001–2020 was tested. Based on the results of the econometric assessment, the paper finds that high values of the central bank independence indices and their sub-indices help to keep inflation in a certain corridor: if inflation is high, central bank independence reduces it, and if inflation is low, it helps to keep inflation at a low level. The impact of central bank independence on inflation weakens as inflation decreases.

This paper reviews China’s technological development. It shows that the success of China’s technological policy came from both international cooperation at national and firm levels and state support measures. The country’s innovation development model is based on the central role of the government. Using foreign technologies, investments, and expertise, China created its own technology companies, which transformed into global corporations. Through investments in research and development and talent cultivation, China narrowed the technology gap with many developed countries, including the United States. Despite existing tensions, in particular, in the technology sector, United States corporations are interested in strengthening cooperation with China due to its growing market. This type of cooperation will further improve China’s competitiveness and accelerate its technological development.

Keywords: China, Technology, Innovations, Robotics, Research and Development.

With Russia’s attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, the European Union began to impose a series of sanctions on the Moscow government. The history of sanctions began with the 2014 annexation of Crimea and is now being expanded to target various industries and individuals. In this context, in the study, the contents of the sanctions implemented and their effects on Russia are discussed. Based on the evaluation of experts in different regions and statistics, it was assumed that the sanctions did not have much effect on stopping the war but were effective in slowing down the country’s economy and influencing different sectors.

Keywords: Sanctions, Russia, Ukraine, War, European Union.
