Material circularity and environmental quality in the EU: what causes what and where?
(IOP Publishing Ltd, TEMPLE CIRCUS, TEMPLE WAY, BRISTOL BS1 6BE, ENGLAND, 2025) Alola, Andrew Adewale; Özkan, Oktay; Uzuner, Gizem
Although the green and blue dividends associated with circular economy have been widely advocated, whether circular economy necessarily guarantee environmental quality remains unclear. To provide a more precise insight, in this case for a novel case of all the European Union countries, environmental effect of the share of used material resources from the reuse of waste materials is examined over the period 2010–2021. The results reveal that the reuse of waste materials statistically (i)increase CO2 emissions in most quantiles in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Greece, Hungary, Lithuania, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, and Slovenia, (ii) mitigate CO2 emissions in most quantiles in Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Romania, Slovak Republic, Spain, and Ireland, and (iii) either increasing or reducing CO2 emissions depending on the quantile of material circularity use rate and CO2 emissions in Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Latvia. This result points to a more policy driven approach.
Evaluating the Repor aluating the Reporting and Saf ting and Safety Cultur ety Culture of an Airline e of an Airline According to Patankar and Sabin atankar and Sabin's Safety Cultur ety Culture Pyramid
(EMBRY-RIDDLE AERONAUTICAL UNIV, 600 SOUTH CLYDE MORRIS BLVD, DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA 32114-3900, 2025) Mumlu Karanfil, Seda
As a result of the literature review, it is seen that the safety management system in airline businesses is mostly evaluated with Reason's just culture model. The fact that there is no research examining Patankar and Sabin's (2010) safety culture pyramid on airline operations, except for a study conducted in the field of ground handling services (Poçar, Işık, & Durmaz, 2022), constitutes the importance and unique value of the research. As stated by Poçar et al. (2022), Patankar and Sabin's (2010) safety culture pyramid is not sufficiently included in practice, and this model is important in terms of drawing attention to the impact of employees' safe behaviors on safety culture. In this direction, the SMS instructions, reporting policies and SMS reports of the airline subject to the research were obtained as documents and analyzed. As another stage of the research, it was aimed to evaluate the SMS reports of the airline according to Patankar and Sabin's safety culture pyramid. With this evaluation, content analysis was conducted to determine the step of the airline in the safety pyramid. Unlike previous studies, this study is thought to contribute to the literature by explaining the relationship between reporting culture, safety culture and safety management system and evaluating the reporting in the organization according to Patankar and Sabin's safety culture pyramid.
Exploration of multivalent harmonic functions: Investigating essential properties
(HACETTEPE UNIV, FAC SCI, HACETTEPE UNIV, FAC SCI, BEYTEPE, ANKARA 06800, Turkiye, 2025) Çakmak, Serkan
Within this manuscript, we introduce an innovative subclass of multivalent harmonic functions, encompassing higher-order derivatives within the confines of an open unit disk. Our investigation extends to the analysis of coefficient bounds, growth estimates, starlikeness, and convexity radii uniquely associated with this particular class. Furthermore, we scrutinize the property of closure under convolution operations for this subclass.
The Russian-Ukraine War and the Uses of Naval Mines in the Black Sea: The Legal Consequences in Turkey
(ISTANBUL UNIV, FAC POLITICAL SCIENCES, ISTANBUL 00000, Turkiye, 2025) Diop, Mouhamed Bachir
Stray mines in the Black Sea (BS) have sparked substantial debates. Despite the various areas of concern, this matter also warrants a legal perspective. Given that Russia, Turkey, and Ukraine are the primary countries significantly involved, each has developed a distinct legal personality under international law. Therefore, it is important to refer to international law to elucidate this complex issue. This study examines the legal intricacies of the stray mine situation in the BS region by focusing on legal aspects. It also considers other relevant factors, particularly the potential legal implications for Turkey. In the context of this study, we argue that Turkey's geopolitical position, along with its international commitments, places it in a significant role and brings it into close engagement with other nations, especially amid the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. In this study, I will discuss the general framework of international law governing the use of naval mines in international conflicts, particularly in the event of war between Russia and Ukraine. Despite the existence of international customs, several international agreements, including the International Montreux Convention concerning the Strait of Istanbul, play a substantial role in this issue.
The cruciality of environmental degradation, energy use and urbanization to policy framework for sustainable growth and development: evidence from Spain
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, Floor 5, Northspring 21-23 Wellington Street, Leeds, W YORKSHIRE LS1 4DL, ENGLAND, 2025) Bekun, Festus Victor; Adebayo, Tomiwa Sunday; Agboola, Mary; Onifade, Stephen Taiwo; Awosusi, Abraham Ayobamiji
Purpose – Attaining a sustainable environment has become an international commitment. Therefore, mitigating climate change concerns is pertinent for a sustainable ecosystem. This study aims to focus on the Spanish economy, which has enjoyed some positive growth trends over the years. However, there remains an unaddressed puzzle as to whether the experienced growth path is green or dirty given the wake of global connectedness. These concerns are related to the objective of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) that comprises economic growth (SDGs-8), climate issues (SDGs-13) and responsible energy consumption and access to energy (SDGs-7, 12). Design/methodology/approach – This research empirically explores the comovement and coherence between CO2 emissions and its driving factors – specifically renewable energy, fossil fuel consumption, urbanization and economic growth using the wavelet tools. Findings – The result of the wavelet coherence shows that (i) renewable energy and CO2 emissions are out-phase; (ii) economic growth and CO2 are in-phase; urbanization and CO2 are in-phase; and (iv) fossil fuel and CO2 are in-phase. The result of the multiple wavelet coherence shows that CO2 in Spain were strongly linked to urbanization, economic growth and energy consumption. While coherence with renewable energy and urbanization weakened after 2000, fossil fuel reliance remained a key driver. Practical implications – These results are not desirable for the case study (Spain). Therefore, there is a necessity for a gradual and more aggressive shift in the Spanish energy mix to renewables. The shift to renewables is required for inclusive growth and a green growth path in Spain. Originality/value – In this study, the authors used wavelet tools, which help uncover hidden information across different time-frequency domains. The importance of the ramifications of this research will also go beyond a localized relevance to the Spanish economy alone, as there is relative applicability of some of the practical implications from the study to other similar European Union (EU) countries considering Spain’s stance in the EU in terms of geography, economics and politics.
Unveiling the key dimensions shaping visitor experiences in cave tourism through a content analysis approach: the case of Antalya’s show caves
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2025) Tanrıverdi, Haluk; Çıkı, Kartal Doğukan; Öğretmenoğlu, Mert; Uygun, Nursaç
This research investigates the experiential dimensions of cave tourism by analysing visitor experiences through user-generated content. A qualitative case study approach was adopted, utilising TripAdvisor reviews as the primary data source due to its relevance and widespread use in tourism research. Visitor comments were collected over a 20-day period between late July and early August 2024, covering reviews from 2019 to 2024. The findings reveal that cave tourism experiences encompass five key dimensions: educational, aesthetic, escapism, entertainment, and perceived benefits (e.g. health benefits and social interaction). The originality of this research lies in its exploration of the multifaceted experiences of cave visitors, highlighting the significance of aesthetic, entertainment, educational, and escapist elements, along with perceived benefits such as health and social interaction, in shaping the overall visitor experience. The findings contribute to the literature by offering empirical insights that inform strategic recommendations for the sustainable development of cave tourism. In this regard, the research proposes actionable suggestions to enhance service quality and promote visitor satisfaction in cave tourism settings.
Understanding Muslim tourist behavior in non-Muslim countries through the stimulus–organism– response framework
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, Floor 5, Northspring 21-23 Wellington Street, Leeds, W YORKSHIRE LS1 4DL, ENGLAND, 2025) Çıkı, Kartal Doğukan; Tanrıverdi, Haluk
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to explore the effects of Muslim-friendly tourism (MFT) characteristics in non-Muslim countries on Muslim tourists’ destination loyalty (DL) and subjective wellbeing (SWB) by adopting Stimulus–Organism–Response theory. Additionally, this research seeks to determine the effects of DL and SWB on revisit and recommendation intentions. Design/methodology/approach – In line with the purpose of this research, a model was proposed, and an online survey was applied to Turkish tourists (n = 257) to test the relationships in this model. AMOS software was used to validate the proposed model. Findings – The analysis revealed that most of the proposed relationships were supported, except for the impact of MFT characteristics on SWB and the influence of halal food on DL. These results indicate that while most MFT features positively influence both DL and SWB, local people’s behaviors do not significantly affect DL, and the social environment does not significantly impact SWB. Practical implications – This research creates the potential to better understand the travel preferences of Muslim tourists from a cross-cultural perspective and the factors that shape their holidays. The findings of this study can be used by tourism marketers and policymakers in non-Muslim countries to develop strategies that cater to the needs and preferences of Muslim tourists, thus enhancing DL and encouraging positive word-ofmouth recommendations. Originality/value – This research provides valuable insights into the travel behaviors and preferences of Muslim tourists, a relatively under-researched demographic in the context of non-Muslim countries. By focusing on MFT features and their impact on DL and SWB, this research contributes to the existing literature and offers practical guidelines for improving the Muslim tourist experience.
Equipping Police officers with resources: perceived control of internal states and suicide tendencies among Turkish Police officers, unraveling the serial mediating roles of resilience and depression
(SPRINGER, ONE NEW YORK PLAZA, SUITE 4600 , NEW YORK, NY 10004, UNITED STATES, 2025) Padır, Mehmet Ali; Doğrusever, Caner; Tansel, Bülent; Vangölü, Mehmet Sıddık
Drawing from existing literature, this study highlights police officers’ heightened vulnerability to depression and suicidality as a result of occupational stressors and investigates the intricate associations among Turkish police officers’ perceived control of internal states (PCOIS), resilience, depression, and suicidal tendencies. The study uses a comprehensive analysis to investigate how PCOIS influences resilience and depression, which subsequently impact suicidal tendencies. A total of 628 police officers participated in the study voluntarily. The mediation analyses indicate individuals with high PCOIS levels tend to have higher resilience, thus leading to lower suicidality regardless of depression levels. High PCOIS levels have also been linked to lower depression levels, thus also leading to a decrease in suicidality independent of resilience. The study shows both resilience and depression to be affected by PCOIS levels, with resilience acting as a protective shield against suicidality, whereas depression exacerbates the likelihood of suicidality. Lastly, the study has uncovered a serial mediating effect, with higher PCOIS levels enhancing resilience and subsequently reducing depression and suicidal tendencies. Therefore, resilience and depression play crucial roles as serial mediators in the relationship between PCOIS and suicidality, underscoring PCOIS’s importance in psychological interventions aimed at bolstering resilience and mitigating depression and suicidality among police officers. This study contributes uniquely to the literature by demonstrating PCOIS’s protective role in a high-stress profession and provides practical implications for developing targeted mental health interventions.
The effectiveness of online Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing 2.0 Group Protocol on post-traumatic stress disorders symptoms, depression, anxiety, and stress in individuals who have experienced a traffic accident: a randomized-controlled study
(FRONTIERS MEDIA SA, AVENUE DU TRIBUNAL FEDERAL 34, LAUSANNE CH-1015, SWITZERLAND, 2025) Yaşar, Alişan Burak; Gündoğmuş, İbrahim; Kubilay, Derin; Tunca, Görkem Alban; Uygun, Ersin; Çiftci, Zeynep Zat; Kavakçı, Önder
Introduction: EMDR 2.0, an innovative approach rooted in the conventional Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), has garnered attention due to its promising outcomes. The application of EMDR, whether it is EMDR or EMDR 2.0 protocol, in a group format, especially for conditions like PostTraumatic Stress Disorder, will provide significant opportunities in terms of economic feasibility and accessibility, ultimately leading to widespread use. Building on the established effectiveness of EMDR 2.0 in individual applications, this study examines its impact in group settings. This protocol is designed to provide a structured framework for implementing EMDR 2.0 within group contexts, paving the way for a nuanced understanding of its potential benefits in collective therapeutic settings. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of the online EMDR 2.0 Group Protocol(EMDR 2.0 GP) versus Improving Mental Health Training for Primary Care Residents(mhGAP) on individuals with a history of traffic accidents in a controlled way. Methods: In this randomized-controlled study sample includes volunteers who were involved in traffic accidents and were given the randomized online EMDR 2.0 GP and mhGAP Stress management module. The participants were given a sociodemographic data form, Depression Anxiety Stress 21 scale (DASS-21) and Impact of Event Scale-Revised (IES-R). Participants were evaluated with measurements before, after and “one month after the application. Results: The mean age of the participants was 34.80(8.10) years and 88.0% (n=22) were female. The change in DASS-21 Anxiety (h2 =0.136), Stress (h2 =0.140), IES-R Avoidance (h2 =0.134), Hyperarousal (h2 =0.0148), Total (h2 =0.223) scores of online EMDR 2.0 GP was determined to be statistically significant compared to the mhGAP group. However, no statistically significant difference was observed in DASS-21 Depression (h2 =0.017), IES-R Intrusion (h2 =0.094), scores between the two groups. Discussion: The RCT of online EMDR 2.0 GP indicated that this newly developed protocol, when applied to groups, may be effective in reducing anxiety, stress, and traumatic symptoms among a non-clinical sample. Clinical trial registration: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/, identifier NCT05596903.
Ecological effects of energy use and tourism-induced transport modes among coastline Mediterranean countries
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, Floor 5, Northspring 21-23 Wellington Street, Leeds, W YORKSHIRE LS1 4DL, ENGLAND, 2025) Çakır, Mehmet Ali; Recepoğlu, Mürşit; Alola, Uju Violet; Alola, Andrew Adewale
Purpose – Motivated by the criticality of transportationssystem in tourism activities, thisstudy further uncovers the effect of the main transportation modes arising from inbound tourism activities on the ecological footprint across the panel of selected coastline Mediterranean countries (CMC). Design/methodology/approach – The study considers a suitable econometric approach for the case of CMC with the dataset that covers the period 1998–2022. Findings – While the result reveals that all the modes of transportation except air deteriorate environmental sustainability by increasing ecological footprint in the long run, higher impact of environmental woe is associated with the land transportation. Similarly, the findings further show that economic expansion and conventional energy utilization in the examined panel and in each country spurs ecological footprint, thus worsening environmental quality. Meanwhile, for the country-specific observations, ecological footprint is (1) mitigated by tourism activities associated with air, water and land transports in Spain, (2) triggered by tourism activities associated with land transport in Croatia and (3) spurred by land transport in Italy. Originality/value – Policy inference from these results suggests the need to scale up the adoption of a lowemission transportation system in the countries.
Applying self-determination theory to understand cultural tourists’ behavioural intentions
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2025) Çıkı, Kartal Doğukan; Tanrıverdi, Haluk
Following the self-determination theory (SDT), the current research intends to explore the relationships between tourists’ subjective well-being (SWB), destination loyalty (DL), behavioural intentions (BIs) and basic psychological needs (BPNs). The theory, which has received increasing attention in the literature, is used to explain tourists’ motivations, destination decisions and BIs. In this context, a questionnaire was administered to cultural tourists visiting the historical sites of Istanbul. The questionnaire application resulted in 503 usable questionnaires. A total of 503 usable questionnaires were obtained as a result of the survey. According to the data analysis findings, fulfilment of the BPNs of tourists visiting the historical sites of Istanbul affects both SWB and DL. In addition, SWB and DL affect revisit and recommendation intentions (BIs).
Fossil fuel efciency as a pathway to decarbonisation and the role of international trade: A perspective of the LCC hypothesis
(SPRINGER, VAN GODEWIJCKSTRAAT 30, 3311 GZ DORDRECHT, NETHERLANDS, 2025) Özkan, Oktay; Lormom, Bruce Lortile; Usman, Ojonugwa; Uzuner, Gizem
The continued global dependency on fossil fuel sources in the face of increasing international trade may hamper the goal of decarbonisation. To condense climate risk and attain net zero, efciency measures are proposed. This study unambiguously investigates the environmental quality implications of fossil fuel efciency in the face of the international trade based on the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypothesis for Canada from 1965 to 2022. The application of a dynamic ARDL simulations method uncovers the following fndings: (i) fossil fuel efciency engenders load capacity factor (lnLCF) in the short run (SR) and long run (LR). This suggests a dampening trend of environmental externalities as fossil fuel efciency increases. (ii) the connection between income expansion and lnLCF follows an inverted U-type pattern, thus invalidating the LCC hypothesis in Canada. (iii) the efect of international trade is positive but only signifcant in the SR. (iv) urban development is positively linked to lnLCF but its efect is perhaps signifcant only in the LR. These fndings corroborate the responses of the lnLCF to a 1% positive and negative counterfactual shocks in fossil fuel efciency, income expansion, international trade, and urban development. Moreover, the fndings are robust to the results of the nonparametric multivariate quantile-on-quantile regression model. Therefore, the policy take of these results is that to achieve net-zero emissions targets by 2050, environmental policies ought to promote not only fossil fuel efciency but also the growth of income expansion, trade, and urbanization.
Human Capital Flight in ECOWAS Subregion: The Heterogeneous Influences of Macroeconomic and Institutional Factors
(WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ, 2025) Olanipekun, Ifedolapo Olabisi; Irughe, Roland Ighiwiyisi
This study demonstrates a deep concern about the forces behind the recent upsurge of human capital flight in ECOWAS despite the crucial need for human capital in their development process. In five separate models, the heterogeneous impacts of macroeconomic and institutional variables on migration in ECOWAS are examined between 2009 and 2023 using a panel quantile approach with nonadditive fixed effects. The results explain that the impacts of the selected macroeconomic and institutional determinants of human capital flight are heterogeneous through the quantiles. Specifically, poor institutional qualities in terms of governance, corruption, freedom and accountability, and political stability are important sources of human capital flight. There are more robust indications that human capital flight increases as income and unemployment increase while it reduces with increased life expectancy. The study recommends stronger institutional frameworks to increase public confidence and reduce pessimism. Peaceful political transitions, equity, transparency, and effective governance can create more attractive economic opportunities to reduce the problem of unemployment and, ultimately, reduce human capital flight in ECOWAS.
The effect of the uniforms and attitudes of the flight attendants on passenger repurchase intention, and the mediating role of brand imagery and brand perception
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS AS, KARL JOHANS GATE 5, NO-0154 OSLO, NORWAY, 2025) Aslan, Mustafa; Güngör, Habibe; Önler Çiğdem, Büşra
In a competitive airline industry, even small details, like the cabin crew’s uniforms and demeanor, can significantly influence passenger loyalty, and hence, this study aims to reveal how the cabin crews’ attitudes, behaviors, and uniforms shape passengers’ loyalty through brand imagery and brand perception. The data was collected from airline passengers by utilizing the convenient sampling method. A total of 488 surveys out of 520 participants were included in the analyses conducted using Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) software. The results show that the appearances and attitudes of uniformed cabin crews significantly affect the repurchase intention, and while the brand perception only mediates the effect of attitudes on repurchase intention, the brand imagery both appearances and attitudes of uniformed cabin crews. Results suggest that airlines need to pay attention to both the attitudes and the appearance of the cabin crew to make the passengers feel that the airline is their own extent and, in return, to increase passengers’ repurchase intention. Unlike previous studies, this research focuses on the interplay between visual branding through uniforms and passengers’ psychological mechanisms driving loyalty explained by Social Identity Theory and Aesthetic Labor Theory. This research demonstrates the strategic role of cabin crew in creating a brand experience that is different but reflective of their own identity.
The Impact of Artificial Intelligence Applications on Digital Banking in Turkish Banking Industry
(HINDAWI LTD, ADAM HOUSE, 3RD FLR, 1 FITZROY SQ, LONDON W1T 5HF, ENGLAND, 2024) Demirel, Serkan; Topçu, Murat
Tis paper presents the efects of chat box (C.B.) and video call (V.C.) artifcial intelligence applications, which are becoming increasingly common in the banking system in parallel with the development of information systems on the number of digital banking users, and the relationship between the variables is investigated. Te data set of the variables consists of a total of 44 observation points between the 1st quarter of 2012 and the 4th quarter of 2022. Te cointegration relationship between the variables is examined using the ARDL cointegration test. According to the F statistic results for cointegration hypothesis testing, there is a statistically signifcant relationship between the variables at a 1% signifcance level. In the long run, a 1% increase in Chat Box users causes an increase of approximately 0.2% in the number of mobile banking users. A 1% increase in Chat Box users in the short term increases the number of mobile banking users in the current period by approximately 0.03%. A 1% increase in video call users in the long term causes an increase of approximately 0.04% in the number of mobile banking users. A 1% increase in the number of video calls in the current period increases current period mobile banking applications by approximately 0.005%. It has been determined that the efect of chat box applications on mobile banking is higher than that of video call applications. In addition, there is a close correlation between mobile banking and the independent variable chat box, no correlation between mobile banking and video calling, and a moderate correlation between chat box and video calling. All fndings mean that artifcial intelligence applications positively contribute to the expansion of mobile banking.
Assessing the efficiency of pure-play internet banks in South Korea, Japan and China with data envelopment analysis
(INCISIVE MEDIA, HAYMARKET HOUSE, 28-29 HAYMARKET, LONDON SW1Y 4RX, ENGLAND, 2024) Öcal, Hüseyin; Bağcı, Erdem; Kamil, Anton Abdulbasah
This study aims to provide empirical insight into the efficiency of major pure-play internet banks in South Korea, Japan and China (that is, KakaoBank, K Bank, Sony Bank, Jibun Bank and WeBank). We employed the data envelopment analysis model and adopted a profit-oriented approach to measuring the efficiency of the banks between 2017 and 2020. In addition, we ran fixed cross-section regression to measure the relationship between net profit and the input and output variables. We found that in 2017 Sony Bank was run efficiently, but KakaoBank, K Bank and Jibun Bank were run inefficiently. In 2018 WeBank and Sony Bank were efficient, and the efficiency scores of KakaoBank and Jibun Bank were close to 1, meaning they ran fairly efficiently; however, K Bank was run inefficiently. In 2019 KakaoBank, WeBank and Sony Bank were run efficiently, and Jibun Bank’s efficiency score was close to 1, meaning it was run fairly efficiently, but K Bank was run inefficiently. In 2020 KakaoBank and Sony Bank were run efficiently but K Bank was run inefficiently. In addition, Jibun Bank’s efficiency score decreased slightly compared with 2019. Fixed cross-section regression showed the strongest relationship between net profit and noninterest expense. However, the relationship between net profit and noninterest income is also strong. We recommend that banks prioritize managing noninterest expenses and income to achieve sustainable profits.
Revealing The Relationships of Trust in Chatbot Applications in The Accommodation Sector With Consumer Innovativeness and Purchase Intention
(UNIV NOVE JULHO, AV FRANCISCO MATARAZZO 612, AGUA BRANCA, SAO PAULO C05001-100, BRAZIL, 2024) Tanrıverdi, Haluk; Çıkı, Kartal Doğukan
Objective: The approaches of innovative consumers who have benefited from the chatbot applications of accommodation businesses operating in Istanbul to chatbot applications have been examined. The aim of the research is to determine whether there is a relationship between consumers' trust in chatbot applications and their level of innovativeness and purchase intentions. Method: The sample of the research was reached by convenience sampling method and the questionnaire application was carried out. 417 usable questionnaires were obtained and then the data were analyzed by correlation analysis and difference tests. Originality/Relevance: There is a lack of studies linking consumer innovativeness and trust in chatbot applications, especially in tourism and hospitality research. This research is one of the first attempts to empirically examine the use of chatbot applications, an artificial intelligence technology platform, in hospitality businesses and to empirically examine consumers' trust in the technology and their level of innovativeness along with their purchase intentions. Main results: The results of the research revealed that there is no significant relationship between the "benevolence dimension" of trust in chatbot applications and consumer innovativeness; however, there is a significant relationship between the "competence dimension" and the "honesty dimension" of trust and consumer innovativeness. Similar findings were found between trust in chatbot applications and purchase intention. Theoretical/methodological contributions: Although the results of this research represent a limited area, they show the gap in the relevant literature and provide important clues to industry pioneers.
Evaluation of Anxiety Levels and the Effect of Video Information on the Anxiety Levels of Parents Whose Children Undergo Oral Food Challenge
(Turkish Natl Soc Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Mustafa Kemal Mh. 2124 Sk No: 16/4 Sogutozu-Cankaya, Ankara 0000, TURKIYE, 2024) Yılmaz Topal, Özge; Turgay Yağmur, İrem; Üneri, Özden Şükran; Kara Uzun, Aysun; Toyran, Müge; Çöp, Esra; Dibek Mısırlıoğlu, Emine
Objective: The Oral Food Challenge Test (OFC) is the gold standard for diagnosing or excluding food allergies. OFC in children may cause anxiety in the parents. The study aims to evaluate parental anxiety during children’s OFC, examining the impact of informational videos with instructions, comparing anxiety levels between tested children’s parents and healthy controls, and correlating parental anxiety with psychological symptoms. Materials and Methods: The study included parents of children over 18 months of age undergoing OFC. All parents received verbal/ written test information and some got informational videos. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Symptom Checklist-90-Revised (SCL-90-R) were used as questionnaires. Results: The median age of the 44 patients included in the study was 25.3 (IQR:20.2-41.6) months, and the median age of the 23 healthy children in the control group was 30 (IQR:23.85-43.96) months (p=0.125). Among the parents of the patients undergoing OFC, 29 (65.9%) were informed verbally/with text, and 15 (34.1%) were additionally provided information through video. Fourteen (31.82%) of the patients had an anaphylactic reaction in their history, and 36 (81.82%) patients were tested to evaluate the development of tolerance. No significant differences were detected in the STAI-T and STAI-S scores between parents of the control group and those of the group undergoing OFC. No statistically significant difference was observed in the assessment of the pre-OFC STAI-S scores of the patients’ parents between those who received verbal/written information and those additionally informed via video. Among the parents’ of patients without reactions during OFC, a decrease was noted in the post-test STAI-S scores compared to pre-test scores. STAI-T scores of the parents of patients undergoing OFC exhibited positive correlations with the general symptom index, anxiety, obsession, depression, interpersonal sensitivity, psychosis, paranoid, anger, and phobia parameters, as determined by the psychological symptom screening scale. Conclusion: As evidenced by our study, the absence of reactions during OFC resulted in a reduction of parental anxiety. The effect of additional video information with verbal and written instructions on anxiety remains unclear in this study. Limited sample size may be a factor; further research with larger cohorts is needed before making generalized conclusions.
The role of institutional quality on tourist arrivals in leading emerging economies
(SPRINGER INDIA, 7TH FLOOR, VIJAYA BUILDING, 17, BARAKHAMBA ROAD, NEW DELHI 110 001, INDIA, 2024) Uzar, Umut; Eyüboğlu, Kemal; Alola, Uju Violet
This study explores the relationship between tourist arrivals and institutional quality in leading emerging economies (Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia, and Turkey) during 1996 to 2022. By utilizing principal component analysis for dimensions of governance performance, such as voice and accountability, political stability and absence of violence/terrorism, government efectiveness, regulatory quality, rule of law, and control of corruption, this study develops a comprehensive index that enables a nuanced understanding of the collective efect of these dimensions on tourism. The results of the panel data estimations indicate that institutional quality positively afects tourist arrivals in all countries, with strong efects in Mexico, Russia, and Turkey. Additionally, the study accounts for economic growth, the real efective exchange rate, and gross fxed capital formation, all of which show that overall, tourist arrivals increase in response to economic growth, decline in response to the exchange rate, and increase in response to gross fxed capital formation, with country-specifc efects. Granger causality evidence supports these fndings, implying the need for a comprehensive policy review to encourage the tourism industry in these countries.
Improving students’ academic integrity through academic integrity training (AIT) program in higher education
(EMERALD GROUP PUBLISHING LTD, Floor 5, Northspring 21-23 Wellington Street, Leeds, W YORKSHIRE LS1 4DL, ENGLAND, 2024) Ramdani, Zulmi; Natanael, Yonathan; Liem, Andrian; Kamil, Anton Abdulbasah; Hadiana, Deni; Warsihna, Jaka
Purpose – The study examines the effectiveness of an academic integrity training program called Academic Integrity Training (AIT) in improving students’ academic integrity among final-year students. Design/methodology/approach – The research design used was one group pretest and posttest (n 5 40) students in research proposal courses. Findings – Analysis with stacking and racking analysis showed a change in the distribution of the Logit Value Person (LVP) and Logit Value Item (LVI) values on the side of the subjects and items used forthis study. Testing with a paired sample t-test yielded a value of t 5 �3.059 and a significance (p) 5 0.004, indicating that there was a significant increase in LVP at the pre-test (M 5 2.52 & SD 5 1.56) and post-test (M 5 3.33 & SD 5 2.09) in the subject of the study. Practical implications – The study results concluded that this academic integrity training program can improve students’ academic integrity and is designed and implemented with the right personal approach to suppress academic dishonesty, especially the problem of plagiarism among graduate students submitting thesis proposals. Originality/value – Academic dishonesty has been a major problem in higher education over the last two decades. Various strategies have been attempted to address the condition, but no program has been found to directly address the problem on the personal order or individuals who do so.
