Turizm sektörü hem ülkemizde hem de dünyada her geçen gün değişen koşullara göre yeni ihtiyaçları beraberinde getirmektedir. Sektörün gelişmesinde farklı parametrelerin etkili olduğu araştırmalarda da görülmektedir. Pazarın çeşitlenmesi ve pazarlama faaliyetlerinin yetersiz kalması nedeniyle, kurum, şirket ve hatta ülkeler, geleneksel pazarlama yöntemleri dışında farklı yöntemler geliştirme konusunda çalışmalar yapmaktadırlar. Film veya dizilerin turizm üzerinde etkisi olduğu ile ilgili varsayımlar bu alanda bilimsel çalışmaların artmasına neden olmuştur. Araştırmamızda yöntem olarak Saussure modellemesine dayalı göstergebilimsel analiz kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında örneklem olarak, “Zeytin Ağacı” dizisinin birinci sezonundaki 419 dakikalık 8 bölümünde kullanılan gösterenler belirlenmiştir. Dizide gösterenler vasıtasıyla bölgenin birçok yönünün izleyiciye gösterildiği görülmüştür. Film etkili turizm kapsamında bölgenin ve ülkenin tanıtımının yapılması, hem iç pazar hem de uluslararası pazarda yaratacağı etki bakımından önemlidir.

Purpose – The purpose of the study is to examine the effects of job security satisfaction and various variables on intent to leave in the context of hotel businesses and to test the hypothesis of the study in the light of these data. Design/methodology/approach – In line with the purpose of the study, a model was proposed to test whether job security satisfaction, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, job stress, age, gender, marital status, education status, department worked, monthly income, manner of work, position held, working hours and duration of employment significantly predicted the intention to leave. This proposed model was tested with binary logistic regression analysis. The dependent variable in the model is the intention to leave, and the independent variables are job security satisfaction, organizational commitment, job satisfaction, job stress, age, gender, marital status, education status department worked, monthly income, manner of work, position held, working hours and duration of employment. The universe of the research consists of employees in five-star hotel businesses in Kundu town of Antalya. In calculating the sample size, the sampling table suggested by Yazicioglu and Erdogan (2004: 50) was used. In the table in question, it was stated that the sample size should be 384 if the universe volume was 100 million, with a significance level of 0.05 and an error rate of ± 0.05, and 477 people were included in the scope of the study. A questionnaire consisting of six parts was used in the study as data collection method. In order to fill in the questionnaires, most of the 25 hotel businesses in Kundu town of Antalya province were visited in the summer season of 2015. The data obtained from 477 valid questionnaires were analyzed using binary logistic regression analysis in statistical package program. Findings – The result of binary logistic regression analysis conducted in order to test the main hypothesis of the study suggests that female and single employees have much higher levels of intention to leave while married employees graduated from primary school who are committed to their organization, satisfied in terms of job security with high job satisfaction and income at the level of 0-1000 TL have low levels of intention to leave. Discussion – Today, there are major economic bottlenecks on a global scale. In these troubled days, institutions prefer to either lock their doors or shrink in order to continue their lives. Unfortunately, many employees face the risk of being unemployed in this process and their job security satisfaction decreases.

The purpose of this research is to identify the barriers to the creativity of the managers working in hotel businesses. The universe of the research is comprised of managers from 43 hotels attending the fourth Career Days which took place on March 9, 2020 at Pamukkale University. Within the scope of the research, the data were collected using the survey method. All the data obtained were analyzed in the Statistical package program using frequency analysis, factor analysis, correlation analysis, Kolmogorov-Simirnov test, Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal- Wallis test. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the participants do not have too much fear of change in the companies they work in, they are not criticized, they do not experience time and work pressure, they have high commitment to the organization and the system and they do not find the rules and company style rigid in the companies they work in. As a result of the kruskal-wallis test, it was determined that there was a significant difference between the training of the managers and the working times at the current workplace, and rigid rules and company style; As a result of the mann-whitney u test, there was a significant difference between gender and rigid rules and company style. As a result of the study, it was concluded that the managers who received postgraduate education see the strict rules and company style as an obstacle to creativity compared to high school, associate and undergraduate graduate managers. In addition, it has been found that male managers see strict rules and company style (p = 0.016

This study aims to reveal the local people's perspective on tourism and contribute to a sustainable tourism planning in the region. The local people's perspective on tourism, which is developing day by day and affecting all the individuals it is related to, is important for the sustainability of tourism activities. It is necessary to examine the possible effects of tourism and to include them in the planning while carrying out tourism planning for the regions that are candidates for destinations. Structured questionnaires, which are quantitative research methods, were used in the research. Local people are of the opinion that tourism will not change traditional culture, will not cause destructive effects and will provide economic benefits to local people. In the light of the questions posed to the local people in the research, it was concluded that the perspective of the local people in Buldan is positive and the suggestions about the sustainable development of tourism were made.

The purpose of this research is to determine the metaphors of the managers working in hotel businesses regarding the concept of "intern". A total of 45 managers, 29 men and 16 women, participated in the study. The research data were collected with the metaphor form. In the form, participants were asked to complete the phrase “Intern resembles ………, because ………”. The data obtained were analyzed by qualitative research methods. The participants produced 30 metaphors about the concept of the trainee. The common features of the metaphors determined by the participants were examined, and those related to each other were placed under the same category. At the end of this process, 30 metaphors were gathered under a total of 5 categories: an individual who develops with interest, an individual whose absence is deficient, whose existence is innovative, an individual who will develop with experience and an individual who will shape the future.

OBJECTIVES: Precise measurements of aortic annulus dimensions are crucial for prosthesis size selection in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The so-called effective diameter (derived from area) measured in multislice computed tomography (MSCT) images has evolved to be the most precise measurement tool. Usually, the operator must manually adjust the aortic annular plane. Syngo Aortic ValveGuide (Siemens Healthcare) is a new software tool that allows for automatic aortic root reconstruction and annular plane detection. The aim of this study was to compare the effective diameter measured in automatically detected and manually adjusted annular plane. METHODS: Seventy-three raw image datasets of preoperative TAVI MSCT scans were analysed using our institutional gold standard (3Mensio Valves™) with manual annular plane adjustment and using Aortic ValveGuide with automatic annular plane detection. The aortic annular circumference was manually marked for both software tools, and the effective diameter was calculated using the formula: effective diameter = 2 × √(circumferential area/π). RESULTS: Automatic annulus plane detection using Syngo Aortic ValveGuide worked well in all MSCT scans. Minor manual adjustment of the detected plane was necessary in only 3 patients. The mean effective aortic annulus diameter was 23.1 ± 2.4 mm for 3Mensio and 23.3 ± 2.4 mm for Syngo Aortic ValveGuide. Bland-Altman analysis of both imaging software tools showed good agreement (mean difference of 0.16 mm and limits of agreement of -0.48 to 0.80 mm). CONCLUSIONS: Effective aortic annulus diameter measured with Syngo Aortic ValveGuide, as a new imaging software that allows for automatic aortic annular plane detection, shows good agreement to gold standard measurements. Automatic annulus plane detection might reduce the effort for MSCT analysis and may lead to more reproducible aortic annulus measurements. Aortic ValveGuide is part of the DynaCT and in future aortic annulus dimension measurements may be feasible during intraoperatively acquired DynaCT.

In tourism industry, attitudes and behaviors of hospitality businesses’ employees who are in direct and continuous communication with guests constitutes a critical importance for the sector. Therefore, attitudes and behaviors developed by employees towards the organizational culture they are in, must be monitored and necessary measures to prevent possible conflicts must be taken. In this study, Çelik’s (2007) Organization Culture Scale and Rahim’s (1983) Organizational Conflict Scale have been utilized to determine the effects of organizational culture on organizational conflict and applied on 226 employees who work at a five star hospitality business in Antalya. Organization culture has been found to be influential on all personal, group and group identity conflicts as a result of the study. © 2014 MCSER-Mediterranean Center of Social and Educational Research.

International Financial Reporting Standards (UFRS) has made publishing cash flow statement mandatory, along with balance and income statement. In Turkey, Turkey Accounting Standards Board has published TMS 7 that is compatible with UFRS. TMS 7 requires that cash flow statement be documented in an action-based format. There are some studies discussing the effectiveness of action based cash flow statements for the use of analysis. Cash flow ratios have been used more frequently in financial performance assessment after UFRS made cash flow statement publishing mandatory. Cash flow ratio analysis requires the cash flow ratios to be calculated and interpreted. After the analysis, the action results of the company is assessed based on financial performance. In this study, the cash flow ratio analysis of stocks of stone and land based industrial companies on ISE between 2012 and 2014. The purpose of this study is to assess the various dimensions of the companies performances using cash flow ratios.Keywords: Cash flow, ratios, financial analysis, finance.
