Objectives: To characterize the epidemiology of simultaneous traumatic brain injury (TBI) and ocular trauma. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, observational study, de-identified data from patients admitted with ocular trauma and TBI was extracted from the National Trauma Data Bank (2008-2014) using International Classification of Diseases 9th Revision, Clinical Modification diagnostic codes and E-codes relating to injury circumstances. Mechanisms, types of ocular and head injuries, intention, and demographic distribution were determined. Association of variables was calculated with Student’s t and chi-squared tests and logistic regression analysis. Results: Of 316,485 patients admitted with ocular trauma, 184,124 (58.2%) also had TBI. The mean (standard deviation [SD]) age was 41.8 (23) years. Most were males (69.8%). Race/ethnicity distribution was 68.5% white, 13.3% black, and 11.4% Hispanic patients. The mean (SD) Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) was 12.4 (4.4) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) was 17 (10.6). Frequent injuries were orbital fractures (49.3%) and eye/adnexa contusions (38.3%). Common mechanisms were falls (27.7%) and motor vehicle-occupant (22.6%). Firearm-related trauma (5.2%) had the greatest odds of very severe injury (ISS >24) (odds ratio [OR]: 4.29; p

The negative effects of human activities on the environment are causing more and more concern every day. Most governments in the world are trying to minimize human beings' harmful effects on the environment. Businesses are also endeavoring to grasp and address the emerging societal concerns regarding the natural environment, aiming to integrate environmental issues into their organizational activities effectively. In this context, businesses announce these initiatives to their target audience with applications such as green advertisements. This study seeks to investigate the impact of both green brand awareness and brand image on consumers' purchase intentions, as well as the mediating role of green advertisements in relation to green brand awareness, brand image, and purchase intention. According to the results of the research, consumers' purchasing intentions have a positive effect on brand image and green brand awareness. It has been determined that there is a complementary partial mediation role in green advertisements. The strongest relationship between the variables was between green brand awareness and green advertising, and between green advertising and purchase intention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today's social media platforms have become indispensable tools for businesses to engage with their target audiences. Social media marketing holds a significant place as a dynamic and effective strategy that enables businesses to interact with their target audiences. This approach allows businesses to communicate directly and personally with consumers while also providing access to wide audiences and high interaction potential. At the heart of this strategy, social media influencers play a crucial role in reliably transmitting businesses' messages to their followers. The strong bonds between influencers and their followers can positively influence consumers' brand perception, loyalty, and intention to purchase. Parasocial interaction theory suggests that media users can develop one-sided relationships with media personalities, and these relationships can influence users' attitudes and behaviours towards businesses or products. The parasocial interactions that develop between social media influencers and their followers have become powerful and effective, especially in the era of social media. This study aims to contribute to consumer behaviour, parasocial interaction theory, and marketing practice. The research is a quantitative and descriptive analysis that examines the effect of variables such as influencers' perceived credibility, attitudes towards influencers, and the quality of their posts on purchase intention through parasocial interaction. Data collected through surveys in Karabük were analyzed using SPSS 21 and AMOS 20 statistical analysis programs through structural equation modelling. The results highlight the significant impact of influencer marketing on parasocial interaction and, indirectly, on purchase intention. This analysis demonstrates the potential of influencer marketing within the parasocial interaction theory framework to influence consumers' purchase intentions. The study emphasizes that the impact of influencers cannot be reduced merely to the number of followers or the visual appeal of content; beyond that, the depth and quality of the parasocial relationships established are also crucial.

Nowadays, pursuing a career overseas has become a viable choice for numerous individuals. The motivation for individuals to pursue careers abroad is influenced by a combination of various push and pull factors. University students and recent graduates, particularly, express a strong inclination towards seeking employment opportunities abroad, driven by economic and social considerations. They believe that working overseas offers the potential for higher income, improved working conditions, and an elevated standard of living. The objective of this research is to create a scale that is both valid and reliable in measuring the career intentions of students who are studying sports at universities in the Republic of Turkey. The international career intention scale was developed using Churchill's (1979) scale development steps, which are supported by relevant literature and provide a strong theoretical foundation. Following the completion of the literature review, a series of comprehensive interviews were carried out with 11 students who explicitly stated their desire to pursue a career overseas. Explanatory factor analysis (EFA) was utilized to ascertain the underlying structures of the International Career Intention Scale phenomenon. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to statistically validate the structure that emerged from the analyses. After analyzing the data, a final model with 4 dimensions and 11 expressions was tested using DFA. The results of the analysis showed that the values obtained indicate a perfect fit between the model and the data. These values, which include X²: 89.249, X²/df: 2.41, GFI: .94, AGFI: .90, CFI: .97, TLI: .96, IFI: .97, and RMSEA: .076, are higher than the reference values found in the literature. The statistical analysis has confirmed the validity and reliability of the YDKN scale developed for this research.

The perceived destination image and the concept of a memorable tourism experience are significant factors influencing the re-visitation of tourist destinations. This study aims to examine the impact of the perceived destination image related to the Black Sea Region on the intention to revisit destinations within the same region. Additionally, it investigates the mediating effect of a memorable tourism experience and the moderating effect of transportation difficulty on this relationship. The findings indicate a substantial influence of the perceived destination image on re-visitation intention, as well as the intermediary role of a memorable tourism experience in the association between the perceived destination image and re-visitation intention. The analysis of the mediating effect reveals that the memorable tourism experience acts as an intermediary in the relationship between the perceived destination image and re-visitation intention. The examination of the moderating effect demonstrates that transportation difficulty plays a regulatory role in the impact of the perceived destination image and the memorable tourism experience on re-visitation intention. Furthermore, in situations characterized by high perceived transportation difficulty, the influence of the perceived destination image and the memorable tourism experience on re-visitation intention becomes more pronounced.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the theoretical relationship between tourists' destination perceived service quality and repurchase intention and to empirically test the role of brand love in this relationship. The primary data of the study were obtained through a questionnaire survey. The research questionnaire was administered to hotel customers who had previously stayed in hotels in the Mediterranean Region in Turkey. 389 qualified questionnaires were used for data analysis. A structural modeling approach was used to test the proposed research model after the reliability and validity of all constructs were examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). As a result of the research, the theoretical model was supported. The relationship between service quality and repurchase intention and brand love is statistically significant. When brand love variable enters the model in the relationship between service quality and repurchase intention, its effect on repurchase intention decreases. This explains the partial mediating role of brand love in this relationship. These research findings contribute to the literature in the field of destination marketing, where brand love, which is an important marketing issue, has not yet been studied with these relationships.

The direct and indirect effects of work overload, job stress, presenteeism behaviour and turnover intentions linked to each other which are the most significant problems faced in the business life are studied in the research. Understanding the interactions among variables is crucial for ensuring the retention of the company's most valuable resources, namely workforce and knowledge accumulation, within the organization. For this purpose, data from 234 white collar employees working in the provinces of Adana and Istanbul, by convenience-sampling method are analyzed. SPSS 25 and Process Macro programs are utilized for the data analysis. Correlation and simple linear regression analyses are used for direct relationships between variables. Research findings reveal important and meaningful relationships between the variables of work overload, job stress, presenteeism and turnover intention. The bootstrap method is applied using Process Macro for mediation tests; research findings imply mediating effect for job stress on the relation between work overload and both presenteeism and turnover intention. Moreover, presenteeism has no mediation role on the effect of both job stress and work overload on turnover intention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The oaths are one of the occasions that people need throughout their lives in order to strengthen their words and reinforce their claims. The oath, which has been used since the beginning of humanity for purposes such as confirming the promise and determination and convincing the interlocutor, is accepted as legitimate in Islam. However, it has been regulated by centring on the belief in tawhid and it has been stated that oaths contrary to this belief are invalid. Throughout human history, there have been many forms of oaths and expression patterns. The expression patterns used as oaths have differed according to societies. Today, this difference is also noticeable and it is seen that the wording of oaths varies from region to region. In addition to this, the fact that some fiqh sources emphasise that oaths are based on custom points to the relationship between oath and custom. This necessitates bringing the effect of custom on the judgement of oaths to the agenda. As it is known, in matters based on custom, custom has an important effect on the determination of jurisprudential judgement. Considering that the wording of oaths varies according to cultures and geographies, it is understood that custom is also effective here. However, the fact that the effect of custom on religious judgements is limited to not contradicting the basic principles of religion and the relevant evidence makes it necessary to examine the issue meticulously. In order to analyse the effect of custom on oaths, the words of oaths must first be classified. Because addressing the relationship between oath and custom without this classification will cause disorganisation and make it difficult to reach clear conclusions, as it will require examining each phrase separately. When we look at the fiqh sources, it is seen that the words of oath are dealt with in a disorganised manner and the evaluations on the subject are interspersed between the lines. This is where the difficulty of making a judgement on the issue comes from. In this study, in addition to the types of oaths, the relationship between oaths and custom in the context of expressing judgement is discussed. The first aim of the study is to classify the words of oath by considering certain criteria. Another aim is to determine whether custom is effective in the production of judgement through the expression patterns that emerge as a result of this classification. In our study, oaths are discussed in two parts in terms of requiring expiation and the expression patterns used. Since there is sufficient information in the sources about the types of oaths in terms of requiring expiation, this subject has been summarised. After that, the words of oath, which are scattered in the sources, are categorised by taking into account the common points between them. In this framework, the words of oaths are divided into three main parts: oaths made in the name of Allah, oaths made on beings other than Allah, and oaths in the form of conditional sentences. While the oaths made in the name of Allah are classified as oaths made with the names and attributes of Allah, the oaths made on other than Allah are classified as oaths made on Ka'ba, prophets, and the Qur'an. The words of oaths in the form of conditional sentences are analysed under three headings as the words expressing forbidding the lawful, apostasy and cursing. Under the evaluation sections following each main heading, the evidence on the subject has been analysed and certain determinations have been made. In summary, it has been concluded that custom is effective both in the meaning of the sentences used as oaths and in the validity of the oaths made with the attributes of Allah. It is concluded that the oath made on the Qur'an is also considered within the scope of the oath made on the attributes of Allah and will be valid if custom is formed. The oaths made on the Ka'bah and the prophets, on the other hand, were accepted invalid, taking into account the scriptures stating that it is not permissible to swear on anyone other than Allah. Among the words of oaths in the form of conditional sentences, the words of making the lawful unlawful and apostasy are considered as oaths, whereas the phrases containing curses are not considered as oaths, whether custom is formed or not. However, the justification for this has been the evaluations related to the nature of the oath rather than custom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research investigates the relationship between person-organization fit (POF) and its impact on affective commitment and turnover intention among employees, considering the moderating role of perceived organizational politics. The study surveyed 251 public sector employees to explore the relationships and effects among the variables. Statistical analyses, including correlation, regression, and simple slope analysis using SPSS and AMOS, were conducted. The results reveal that an increase in POF is associated with higher affective commitment and reduced turnover intention among employees. However, the level of employees' POF does not act as a significant moderator in the relationship between POF and affective commitment or turnover intention. These findings provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics between POF, affective commitment, and turnover intentions in the workplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of health consciousness, environmental concern, product safety, social and personal norms on organic product purchase intention and whether the purchase intention has an impact on actual purchase and repurchase intention. The main population of the research is the consumers living in Gümüşhane and consuming organic products. In the study, in which the convenience sampling method has been used, 473 consumers have been reached with the prepared questionnaire. The data obtained have been analyzed with SPSS and AMOS programs and it has been determined that health awareness, food safety, personal and social norms has a positive effect on purchasing intention, and purchase intention on on actual purchase and repurchase intention. Another result of the study is that the environmental concern factor has no effect on the purchase intention. These results provide important contributions to the literature on organic products.

Brand researchers seek to understand how consumers evaluate brands and respond to brand practices. This quest stems from the fact that experiences have a significant impact on consumer behavior. As a marketing strategy, businesses tend to focus on experiences with brands to acquire customers. Because these experiences affect consumers socially, sensory and behaviorally. Brand experience, which is consumers' perception of their experiences with the brand, can influence behavioral intention. Brand experience provides businesses with many opportunities to use customer-brand interaction for an enjoyable experience for their customers. Experience with a brand has more impact than product features and benefits, and brand experience is considered an important strategic factor in establishing long-term consumer-brand relationships. For this reason, the value created by the brand experience can affect behavioral intention, leading to repeat visits, recommendations and more payments, either positively or negatively. Therefore, managing the brand experience by better understanding consumer needs will enable businesses to gain some strategic advantages. This study aims to examine the effect of consumers' brand experience on behavioral intention. "Convenience sampling" method was used as the sampling method in the research. Data was collected from restaurant customers using survey technique. Smart PLS 4 statistical program was used to test the hypotheses in the study. As a result of the tests, it was seen that the sensory, emotional, behavioral and intellectual experience, which are brand experience dimensions, positively affected the behavioral intention dimensions (revisit, recommendation, more payment). However, it was determined that the hypotheses that intellectual experience positively affects recommendation and intention to pay more were not supported. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the present study was to investigate which type of comments, including those with both positive and negative tones, is more effective against online restaurant reviews with only positive tones. Subjects' suspiciousness, attitude, persuasiveness, preference, and purchase intentions were measured for online consumer comments prepared in two different types. The data were collected from a total of 156 subjects selected via convenience sampling method and analyzed running dependent sample t-tests. The results revealed that the subjects were more suspicious of being exposed to positive/negative combined reviews. Also, positive online reviews were found to be more convincing. Attitude towards the restaurant where the comments were made, attitude towards the persuasiveness of the online reviews, restaurant preference, and purchase intention produced stronger results in the scenario where only positive comments were present. Only positive online reviews produced more positive attitudes, preferences, and purchase intentions compared with online reviews that included both positive and negative comments. The current study expands the existing knowledge by comparing consumer reactions with online comments in two groups of only positive comments and positive-negative comments together. Our findings invite practitioners to reconsider their online store reviews. Additionally, it can help practitioners who are influenced by online consumer reviews develop their professional strategies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Reference groups are groups like family members, friends, influencers, members of an association, or artists who indirectly or directly influence consumers. Consumers can make choices under the influence of reference groups, which can be regarded as sensitivity to the influence of reference groups. Sensitivity to the reference groups influence plays both informative and normative roles. The present study examines whether consumers who previously had a negative opinion about a product were satisfied with the product after purchasing it under the influence of a reference group. Therefore, the main purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of reference groups on negative opinions about a product. This study also investigated the effects of reference groups on the relationship between demographic characteristics and product groups. For this purpose, a survey was administered including 728 individuals. According to the findings, there is a relationship between product groups and informative and normative effects. Even if consumers have a negative opinion about a product, there is an informative effect on their satisfaction as well as a normative effect on their dissatisfaction after purchasing under the reference group effect. As a result, it has been observed that consumers can change their negative opinions for positive under the influence of reference groups. This process is named a "collective reference" by the author, introducing this concept to the literature. In this context, this study offers a unique contribution to the literature in terms of the subject it deals with. In the light of the findings obtained, various suggestions were presented to businesses and researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Retail channel integration is one of the prominent issues in the context of multi-channel marketing practices in recent years. The emergence of individuality during the pandemic has accelerated the introduction of digitalization into our lives earlier than expected. This increase has made the rapid use of online and offline channels in the retail sector, as in every sector, inevitable. This situation has revealed the importance of retail channel integration. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of retail channel integration on repurchase intention and whether customer satisfaction has a mediating role in this interaction. In the context of the research, people who shopped from both physical and online stores constitute the universe of the research. Within the scope of the research, the data were collected through a questionnaire on the participants who were determined by convenience sampling method and analyzed by SPSS and AMOS programs. The findings reveal that retail channel integration includes a four-dimensional structure and the relative effects of these dimensions on repurchase intentions are different. It has been revealed that some dimensions have a direct effect on repeat purchase behavior while other dimensions have an indirect effect on repeat purchase behavior through customer satisfaction. One of the dimensions of retail channel integration, flexibility in shopping has both direct and indirect effects on repurchase intention. On the other hand, it is observed that digital support and personalized offer dimensions do not have any direct or indirect effect on repurchase intention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Along with the increase in the number of consumers interacting with social media platforms, the successful interaction of influencers, which are expressed as social media influencers, with their followers has been widely used in marketing activities. In this study, the effect of physical attractiveness, social attractiveness and attitudinal homophily of influencers on the reliability of influencers and the effect of trust on consumers' behavioral intentions were examined. The quantitative research method was used in the study. A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool in the study. In the online survey, 318 valid data were obtained. LISREL8.5 package program was used in the analysis of the data. As a result of the research, it has been seen that the physical attractiveness, social attractiveness and attitude homophily of the influencers positively affect the reliability of the influencer. In addition, it has been concluded that the reliability of the influencer positively affects the consumers' recommendation intention and purchase intention. In this study, the proposed model contributes to the marketing literature theoretically. Practically speaking, it has been attempted to provide practitioners interested in influencer marketing with information on influencer characteristics that can influence credibility, which has a significant impact on consumers' behavioral intentions. Practitioners will be more effective on the behavioral intentions of consumers with the selection of highly reliable influencers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The impact of intention on divorce, its feature and its number in classical jurisprudential works is approached from different perspectives. The explicit or allusive usage of divorce words directly affects three aforesaid issues. While there are exceptions among madhhabs, intention is generally not considered legal judgement in explicit divorce words, but it is taken into account as religious judgement under certain conditions. It is widely accepted among madhhabs that divorcing a wife who has sexual intercourse with her husband through explicit words is a revocable divorce. However, there are some disagreements regarding the legal consequences of using such words without intending divorce. As for the number of divorces resulting from explicit words, intention is generally considered with exceptions and some certain details. The impact of intention in divorce through allusive words has been subject to a considerable disagreement among madhhabs. Fuqahā see the marriage contract as an agreement through which husband has the legitimate right to benefit from his wife. Husband can immediately annul this right if he wishes based on a general principle that "a person can dispose of his property rights as he wishes. When we analyze divorce as an annulment transaction, divorces through explicit terms before sexual intercourse or through mukhālaʿa are considered irrevocable and consequently, immediate termination occurs between spouses, which is in line with this general principle. Nonetheless, it is established by textual evidence that divorce through ṭalāq word after sexual intercourse is revocable. Considering that revocable divorce grants some certain rights such as husband’s ability to return to his wife without a new contract, it appears to contradict this general principle. If we look at this issue from the viewpoint of the divorces through allusive words many of which imply baynūna, it becomes apparent that there is both a general principle that can be applied to these words and a textual evidence. More clearly, if these words are compared to the general principle, they should be considered revocable divorces, whereas if they are compared to the textual evidence, they should be considered irrevocable divorces. Some jurists have evaluated divorce through explicit word according to its number and have compared allusive words to the general principle rather than ṭalāq word. Some jurists have depended on the textual evidence and compared allusive words to ṭalāq word. Some scholars have taken a different approach by increasing the number of divorces to three to resolve this contradiction. Therefore, intention only serves the function of expressing the ambiguity in divorces through allusive words, and the features of divorce are determined by the meanings of the words themselves. The consideration of intention in determining the number of divorces is a highly detailed and disputed issue. Intention also plays a significant role in mukhālaʿa through allusive words. This study relies on classical sources by considering the authoritative views of the four schools and the Zahiri school. It briefly addresses the divorce words and their types mentioned in classical works and attempts to illustrate the impact of intention on divorce, its attributes, and number through examples. Moreover, it aims to correct some certain misconceptions that have become prevalent regarding the features of divorce through allusive words in recent works on Islamic Family Law.

The aim of the study is to examine the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the effect of perceived alienation on intention to leave. The research is conducted on the employees of two shopping mall operating in Denizli. Face-to-face and drop-off survey methods are used in the research and the data obtained are evaluated in SPSS and SPSS AMOS programs. The scales are prepared in a five-point Likert type with equal intervals. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used in the application of confirmatory factor analyzes (CFA) and testing of hypotheses. While testing the mediating role of emotional intelligence in the effect of perceived alienation on intention to leave, the four-stage method developed by Baron and Kenny is adopted. According to the results obtained, perceived alienation affects intention to leave work positively and affects emotional intelligence negatively. The effect of emotional intelligence on intention to leave is examined and no significant relationship is found. According to the Baron and Kenny method, this result means that emotional intelligence does not have mediating role in the effect of perceived alienation on intention to leave.

This study aims to define inbound marketing and determine its impact on marketing efforts. The target audience of the research consisted of consumers who researched on the internet before purchasing any product or service. Research data were collected through an online survey. The reliability of the collected data was tested with the Cronbach Alpha Coefficient and the validity was tested with Factor Analysis. The hypotheses created were tested with the Structural Equation Model. As a result of the analysis, it was concluded that inbound marketing (visibility management, active listening, community building and live communication) had a positive effect on word of mouth, brand awareness and purchase intention. Of the hypotheses created, only "A company's live communication has a positive effect on purchase intention." hypothesis was not supported. The limited number of studies on the subject in our domestic literature, the fact that the subject is generally handled qualitatively in the foreign literature and the few quantitative studies reveal the importance of the study. When the results of the study are also considered from the point of view of the practitioners, it is thought that it will provide important contributions to the businesses in the conditions of today's digital age, in terms of guiding them and providing positive feedback.
