ACCOMPLISMENT IN ECONOMIC HISTORY: AN EVALUATION ON GRADUATE STUDIES IN ECONOMIC HISTORY IN TURKEY WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO SUPERVISOR, METHOD AND CANDIDATE
Recent studies in economic history have increasingly aroused attention of not only economic historians but also students and academicians from different branches in social sciences. This attention, while bringing about booms in economic history as a interdisciplinary science, paves the way for reassessments of topics, methods and the other features of economic history.
The paper aims at considering graduate studies in economic history in terms of supervisor, candidate, topic and method of thesis. It utilises from a questionaire and focus group study into which economic historians have participated.
According to the results of the study, economic historians confirm that non-economic facts can lead to economic results, and put emphasis on the continuous relationship of economic history with the other social sciences. Multi-dimensional content of economic history studies, utilisation from economic science to determine the hypthesis require to study the facts and events from several points. It can also be said that scholars having different formations and studying in economic history contribute to the interdisciplinary quality of economic history. It can be thought that they don’t have a common attitude, and they have different and new opinions about the target of the scientific branch. The participants support the studies of the facts in the past whose effects go on and those studying the facts in the past inspired from actual facts.
It is expected that the conclusions that the paper reached can contribute to graduate studies in both general history and particularly economic history studies.

The seven holy Slavonic saints (Sts. Cyril, Methodius, Gorazd, Clement, Nahum, Angelar and Savva). The monograph examines the question of how this group came into being and how the common veneration of this group began. The book also deals with the biographies and work of individual saints from the group of seven Slavonic saints. It provides a synthetic survey of sources, basic biographical data and summarize our knowledge of the work and activity of the individual disciples of Sts. Cyril and Methodius. Attention is also paid to the questions of their veneration and the fate of their relics. A review of different sources briefly presents the origin of each source, gives information about the oldest available text, the number of preserved manuscripts and the most important printed editions. We considered it to be important to give a more detailed description of the liturgical situation in the 9th and 10th century, as a background of the spiritual and intellectual formation, work and activity of the holy seven Slavonic saints.

The article presents an overview of the key arguments of Terrence Deacon's theory of how mind emerged from matter. Deacon’s emergentism is analyzed as a way of refocusing the «hard problem» of consciousness. He suggests considering the phenomenon of consciousness as a dynamic coupling of mutually constraining processes. Such coupling is the defining feature of the subjective self and other teleodynamic phenomena. So self cannot be found as something embodied in existing material substrates. Consciousness is not present in such substrates themselves, but in the way different processes unfolding in these substrates constrain each other. Deacon shows that even looking at the simplest forms of life (autogens) one can observe that in them each part, interacting with other parts, creates the whole, and the whole as a synergetic complex makes possible the reproduction of its parts. The same principle underlies the organization of subjective consciousness, as subjective consciousness is...
