Crisis Management in Tourism Businesses; Mardin Province Example
No full textTurizm sektörü, dünya çapında hızla büyüyen ve giderek daha fazla insana hitap eden bir endüstridir. Küreselleşme ile, turizm sektörü büyük bir ivme kazanmış olsa da bu gelişme beraberinde önemli tehditleri de getirmektedir. Özellikle çevresel, ekonomik ve kültürel faktörler, sektörü olumsuz yönde etkileyebilecek riskler arasında yer almaktadır. Bu tehditler, sürdürülebilir turizm anlayışı ve etkin yönetim stratejilerinin önemini her geçen gün arttırmaktadır. Turizm sektörü içersin de yer alan konaklama işletmeleri, krizlerden yüksek düzeyde etkilenen işletmelerdir. Konaklama işletmelerinin kriz öncesinde krizlerin tahmin edilebilmesine yönelik yapılan stratejiler, kriz anlarında örgüt içi planlamalar ve krizi aşabilmek için izlenen stratejilerle yakalamaya çalıştıkları başarılar, son yıllarda oldukça fazla gündeme gelmektedir. Konaklama işletmesi yöneticilerinin, izleyecekleri kriz yönetim stratejileri ve planlamaları, krizlerin meydana getirdiği tehditlerin fırsata dönüştürülmesi açısından oldukça önem taşımaktadır. 2015-2016 yıllarında yaşanan terör olayları neticesinde Mardin ilinin sınıra yakın olması, bölgede turizm faaliyetlerinin olumsuz yönde etkilenmesine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, turizm sektöründe etkili olan krizlerin konaklama işletmeleri üzerindeki etkilerini, krizden en az zararla kurtulmak için izlenen yolları ve kriz sonrası edinilen deneyimlerle gelecekteki olası krizlere karşı yapılan stratejik planlamaları ortaya koymaktır. Bu nedenle, Mardin il merkezinde faaliyet gösteren üç adet beş yıldızlı otel işletmesinin yöneticileriyle nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme tekniği kullanılarak araştırma verileri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler betimsel analiz ve içerik analizi yöntemiyle analiz edilmiş ve analiz sonucunda ise 63 kod ile 4 ana tema belirlenmiştir. Bu temalar; kriz nedenleri, kriz öncesi yönetimi, kriz anı yönetimi ve kriz sonrası yönetimine yönelik temalardır. Araştırma bulguları doğrultusunda, işletme yöneticilerine ve iş verenlerine çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.The tourism sector is a rapidly growing industry worldwide that appeals to more and more people. Although the tourism sector has gained great momentum with globalization, this development also brings with it important threats. Environmental, economic and cultural factors in particular are among the risks that can negatively affect the sector. These threats increase the importance of sustainable tourism understanding and effective management strategies every day. Accommodation businesses within the tourism sector are businesses that are highly affected by crises. The strategies that accommodation businesses have made to predict crises before the crisis, the internal planning during the crisis and the successes they have tried to achieve with the strategies they have followed to overcome the crisis have been on the agenda quite a lot in recent years. The crisis management strategies and plans that accommodation business managers will follow are very important in terms of turning the threats created by crises into opportunities. As a result of the terrorist attacks in 2015-2016, the proximity of Mardin province to the border has caused tourism activities in the region to be negatively affected. The purpose of this study is to reveal the effects of crises in the tourism sector on accommodation establishments, the paths followed to overcome the crisis with the least damage and the strategic plans made against possible future crises with the experiences gained after the crisis. For this reason, research data were collected using the semi-structured interview technique from qualitative research methods with the managers of three five-star hotels operating in the city center of Mardin. The obtained data were analyzed with descriptive analysis and content analysis methods and as a result of the analysis, 4 main themes were determined with 63 codes. These themes are; crisis reasons, pre-crisis management, crisis management and post-crisis management. In line with the research findings, various suggestions were made to business managers and employers
Rapid Adsorption of Methylene Blue by Synthesizing Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles From Ocimum Basilicum L. Waste
No full textIn this study, zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONp) were synthesized from Ocimum basilicum L. (ObL-ZnONp) plant wastes by green synthesis method to remove methylene blue (MB) dye, which has toxic effects on the environment. In batch adsorption studies, the effects of pH (3-11), ObL-ZnONp amount (0.0312-1.25 g/L), time (0-30 min), initial MB concentration (2-64 mg/L) and temperature (25-45 degrees C) were tested to determine the adsorption mechanism. The obtained results were tested with Pseudo first order (PFO), Pseudo second order (PSO), Elovich and Intraparticle diffusion kinetic models and evaluated in Freundlich, Langmuir, Temkin and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm models. Also 6 different error functions were used to interpret the results. Additionally, the morphological properties of the synthesized ObL-ZnONp were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis. In addition, desorption tests were also performed. According to the obtained results, the most suitable kinetic and isotherm models were determined as PSO (R2: 0.999) and Freundlich (0.991), respectively. In addition, while more than 90% removal efficiency was achieved in 4 min, the maximum adsorption amount was determined as 21.41 mgMB/gObL-ZnONp. This study determined that Np synthesized at low cost was quite effective in MB removal.Dicle UniversityThe authors would like to thank to their university for support

Political Views as a Lens: Examining the Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Perceived Human Rights Practices Through Life Satisfaction
No full textThis study aims to examine the relationships between socioeconomic status (SES), life satisfaction, and perceived human rights practices (PHRP) within the framework of Bandura’s social cognitive theory, which emphasizes the interaction of personal, environmental, and behavioral factors in shaping perceptions and behaviors. By integrating this perspective, the study provides a novel understanding of how socioeconomic factors and well-being influence human rights perceptions. In addition, a revalidation study of the Human Rights in the Context of Generational Rights Scale was conducted. The research was designed as a quantitative and cross-sectional study. A total of 791 adults living in different cities in Türkiye were reached online in June 2022. The data collection tools were a demographic information form, the revalidated version of Human Rights in the Context of Generational Rights Scale, and the Life Satisfaction Scale. The collected data were analysed using IBM’s SPSS v.26 and SPSS Amos v.24 and Hayes’ Process Macro plug-in v.4.2. It was found that SES has a direct negative effect on PHRP and an indirect positive effect through life satisfaction. In addition, political opinion was found to have a moderating effect on the relationship between SES and PHRP in terms of government and opposition. These findings suggest that perceptions of human rights are influenced not only by structural socioeconomic conditions but also by subjective well-being and political affiliations. This highlights the importance of considering psychological and ideological factors in discussions on human rights perceptions, providing implications for policymakers and scholars examining social inequalities and governance. © The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025
Comparison of the Gonadoprotective Functions of Nigella Sativa Oil, Metformin and Vitamin E on Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Testis
No full textBACKGROUND: Changes in blood glucose levels in DM cause many complications. We aimed to make a detailed comparison study on the protective effects of Nigella sativa oil, metformin, and vitamin E on the histopathologic effects of diabetes on the male reproductive system. METHODS: In the experiment, 30 rats were divided equally into 5 groups: Control, DM, DM+NS, DM+M and DM+E. To induce diabetes in the experimental groups, a one-time injection of 45 mg/kg Streptozotocin was administered. Rats with blood glucose levels above 250 mg/dl were included in the experiment. The experiment period lasted 8 weeks. Weekly body weight of the rats, reproductive organ weights at the end of the experiment, spermatologic data, immunohistochemical staining, TUNEL assay staining and morphometric evaluation were performed. RESULTS: According to Johnsen Biopsy Score and Seminiferous Tubule diameter data, the DM+NS group had similar results to the control group, indicating that Nigella sativa oil preserved the seminiferous tubule diameter structure better than vitamin E and metformin. There were head, neck and tail defects in the diabetes group. Based on the results of the applications carried out to evaluate apoptosis and proliferation in testicular tissue, it can be concluded that the treated diabetic groups, especially the Nigella sativa oil, improved the structure of spermatogenic tubules and also reduced the number of apoptotic cells, as shown by the results of the TUNEL test (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: We think that Nigella sativa oil is more effective on the mechanism of diabetes than other active substances and regulates metabolic changes and may be an effective therapeutic agent for diabetes treatment. © 2024 EDIZIONI MINERVA MEDICA.Dicle Üniversitesi, (TIP.19.018); Dicle Üniversites
A Methodological Approach To the Investigation of Regional Variations in Artuqid Islamic Architecture
No full textAnatolia is a geographical area characterized by various architectural styles from different civilizations and offers a rich historical and cultural heritage in terms of Islamic architecture. This study aims to examine the spatial features of the Harput, Silvan, and K & imath;z & imath;ltepe Great Mosques built during the Artuqid period and determine the effects of regional differences on the architectural features. The study discusses the historical and architectural characteristics of mosques and adopts a method of analysis based on Kevin Lynch's urban images of paths, edges, districts, nodes, and landmarks. With this method, the plan diagrams, spatial organizations, and facades of the mosques were typologically compared, and their relationships with regional variations were examined. The results reveal that the mihrab dome and the harim plan scheme are significant in the key design decisions in the spatial configuration of the three mosques. However, different architectural approaches, such as the porticoes and interior walls, were developed depending on regional requirements and functions. The study emphasizes the importance of these mosques in Islamic history and provides a framework for examining the relationship between the monumental structures and urban images by using the proposed methodology
Objetivos E Atitudes Dos Indivíduos Para Usar Plantas Medicinais Na Turquia
No full textThis study determined the use of medicinal plants as an alternative therapeutic approach in Turkey. Moreover, the study identified the specific ailments for which these plants are employed and the corresponding proportion of usage. Data was collected by face to face interview with using a structured questionnaire form in all regions of Turkey. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis. According to the research findings, approximately 65.4% of participants use medicinal plants into their treatment regime, asserting their significant benefits. Furthermore, it is posited that the consumption of medicinal plants has witnessed an upsurge during the Covid-19 epidemic. The participants’ attitudes towards medicinal plants are directly influenced by their level of knowledge, convenience and perceived usefulness. The study reveals that participants possess awareness of approximately 200 medicinal plants. Among the most well-known plants are garlic (Allium sativum L.), St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum L.), parsley (Petroselinum crispum), chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.), ginger (Crocus sativus L.), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum L.), mint (Melissa officinalis L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill.), aloe (Aloe vera L.), linden (Colocasia esculenta L.), nettle (Achillea millefolium L.), and sage (Salvia officinalis L.). The most critical determinant fort he prevalence of medicinal plant consumption appears to be individuals’ positive beliefs regarding their efficacy in curing diseases. Additionally, promoting knowledge about medicinal plants is deemed essential in fostering informed and conscientious consumption practices. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved

Development, Characterization and Application of Chitosan-Based Formulation Incorporating Crataegus Orientalis Extract for Food Conservation
No full textIn this investigation, chitosan-based films loaded with plant extracts from Crataegus orientalis (CR) were elaborated and evaluated in terms of structural, physicochemical and antimicrobial properties. Firstly, the CR extract was characterized by LC-MS/MS showing an abundance of Protocatechuic acid (56.82 μg/g) and Chlorogenic acid (67.13 μg/g). Then, the extract was incorporated into chitosan-based films at different concentrations (CHCR1-3). Findings revealed modifications in FTIR and XRD graphs as well as SEM micrographs following the incorporation of CR extract confirming the changes in the matrix structure and texture. Moreover, the addition of the extract reduced the transparency, swelling ratio, water solubility and moisture content potencies while increasing considerably the material thickness reaching 2.5-fold as regards CHCR3. Furthermore, Thermogravimetric findings showed three stages of degradation for CH control and CHCR2, with mass loss due to water evaporation and glycerol breakdown. Ultimately, CHCR bioformulations showed significant antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, especially in the case of the CHCR3, which was verified by the application as a preservative coating for lemon fruit. These encouraging results highlight the potential utilization of CHCR bioformulation as coating/packaging for perishable food products. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
