Abstract and Keywords Set within the context under which ethnic-Turks suffered seriously amidst rising communism in post World War II Eastern Europe, this thesis examines the socio- political-cultural circumstances surrounding the life and sporting career of Olympic weightlifter Naim Suleymanoglu, a Bulgarian-born Muslim of Turkish descent. This thesis examines several phases of Suleymanoglu’s life, much of which was devoted to aiding and abetting a mass exodus of Muslim ethnic-Turkish community members from Bulgaria to Turkey, the pursuit of Olympic achievement, and service to the enhancement of the sport of weightlifting in Turkey. By utilizing sports platforms and his remarkable success in weightlifting, widely reported by world media, Suleymanoglu’s life, in the end, translated to a new dimension surrounding the identification of Turkey in the sporting world, one in which weightlifting rivalled time-honoured wrestling as Turkey’s national sport.

  • Georgia: Country Gender Assessment
    Country Gender Assessment Georgia This publication provides a gender analysis of socioeconomic areas and issues in Georgia and relevant operations of the Asian Development Bank. Georgia has advanced its gender equality agenda but progress is still needed to achieve some key gender equality outcomes. Georgia continues to fare poorly on key global indicators of economic status and political voice. Violence against women also remains a pervasive issue in the country, affecting one in seven women. Some gender-responsive practices were identified, but significant gaps and missed opportunities for women’s empowerment and inclusion were also identified. Recommendations include the need for capacity-building on gender mainstreaming, increased human and financial resources, and an improved evidence base. About the Asian Development Bank ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific, while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. Established in 1966, it is owned by 67 members— 48 from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.

In total, 48 players (male = 24; female = 24) from six countries (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Georgia) participated in the study. Stature, bodyweight, BMI, dominant and non-dominant hand visual and auditory reaction time values of the participants were detected. At the end of the study, it was determined that there were statistically significant differences between the countries in terms of male dominant and non-dominant hand visual reaction values, and male dominant hand auditory reaction values. It was also determined that there were statistically significant differences between the countries in terms of female bodyweight, BMI, dominant and non-dominant hand visual reaction values, and female non-dominant hand auditory reaction values. There was statistically significant difference between female and male players with regards to dominant and non-dominant hand visual, and non-dominant hand auditory reaction values. In conclusion, it was determined that the reaction times of the top ranking countries in the fifth International Rumi Child Sport Games under-15 were at a better level, and it can be concluded that this factor played an important role for success alongside with technique and tactic features.

  • Turkish Healthy Nutrition and Active Life Programme 2010–2014 And
    Turkish Healthy Nutrition and Active Life Programme 2010–2014 and related initiatives An evaluation of progress since the WHO Ministerial AK Conference on Counteracting Obesity Turkish Healthy Nutrition and Active Life Programme 2010–2014 and related initiatives An evaluation of progress since the WHO Ministerial Conference on Counteracting Obesity ABSTRACT Dietary factors and physical inactivity undermine health and well-being in every Member State in the WHO European Region. Turkey is no exception and has been at the forefront of the fight against obesity and other diet- and physical activity-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) in the Region. In 2010, Turkey introduced the Healthy nutrition and active life programme in order to increase the knowledge of the population and the adoption of healthy habits to decrease the prevalence of obesity and obesity-related diseases such as diabetes. This report presents the findings of a qualitative evaluation by a team of international and national experts. It demonstrates notable achievements, opportunities for building on the achievements and suggestions for a programme and action plan for 2017–2021. The team found that Turkey is to be commended for its national plan and the range of activities under way to prevent and control obesity and overweight. Its strengths include: investment in action to improve physical activity; emphasis on leading by example in Government agencies; work in primary care, such as obesity counselling in family practices and community health centres; development of a healthy living centres model; and some structural environmental changes, such as increasing the number of cycling paths. Some areas for improvement include: moving from projects to sustained, coordinated programmes and policies; widening the scope of policies; improving use of data and validated information for evaluation; moving beyond awareness-raising and health education; and strengthening enforcement, auditing and implementation.
