Corporate Social Responsibility Campaigns for Behavior Change and the Greenwashing Trend
(Nova Science Publishers, 2025) Cicerali, Eyyüb Ensari
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) concerns the ethical duties in service of society and the environment. Advocating and realizing effective practices for social and natural welfare is its mission. On that note, awakening the society concerning environmental hazards, developing self-transcendental values in people, and addressing sustainability problems such as global warming, deforestation, or resource depletion are its central targets. Organizations can effectively use CSR as a behavior management tool to foster and promote green practices among individuals. Nevertheless, it would be wise to be careful of greenwashing. Greenwashing is the deliberately misleading portrayal of a company or product as more environmentally friendly than it actually is. Tags such as "green," "sustainable," or "organic" are equated with being upscale and pricey; therefore, they can be used as marketing ploys. Thus, to decipher and prevent greenwashing, normative practices such as the development of laws/regulations, the standardization of CSR reports, and the implementation of certification and ecolabeling are currently observable. What is additionally suggested here is to provide public mass education on biospheric values, cognitive dissonance and planned behavior change mechanisms, as well. Since consumers are also responsible parties in cases of greenwashing, they need to be knowledgeable and analytical when evaluating organizations' claims of environmental responsibility. Environmentally responsible people would breed like-minded organizations. © 2025 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

(Campus EDUCA SPORTIS S.L., 2025) Yücel, Ali Serdar; Korkmaz, Murat; Abay, Perihan; Özpinar, Saliha; Öztaş, Dilek; Sevil, Ümran; Kuyucu, Mihalis Michael
In this applied study, the effects of medication use and regular sports and physical activity on quality of life in elderly individuals who regularly use medication were examined. In this study, 4972 people with different demographic characteristics participated in this research and data were collected with a questionnaire method consisting of a 5-point Likert scale. The data obtained were in order to understand the effects of demographic variables on medication use and quality of life. Within the framework of the study, the relationship between demographic factors such as age, gender, educational status, marital status and medication use, medication recommendation and the number of medications used analysed in detail. After statistical analyses using ANOVA and Chi-square analyses, it found that medication use differed especially according to age and marital status, while medication recommendation was significantly related to gender, educational status and marital status. In terms of other findings, in addition to demographic factors, regular physical activity and sports positive effects on medication use. It was also determined that the number of medication used was significantly related to loneliness and feeling of helplessness. It also found that the feeling of loneliness and medication use pattern were in a significant relationship in individuals engaged in sports and physical activity. In addition, it was found that there was a significant relationship between medication intake and quality of life in individuals engaged in sports and physical activity. After this study, it has been revealed that it is a very important source to understand the relationship between medication use and quality of life in elderly individuals who do sports and physical activity and the importance of encouraging elderly individuals to do more physical activity. © 2025, Campus EDUCA SPORTIS S.L..

EXPLORING URBAN SPACES THROUGH VIRTUAL SOUNDWALK: DERINKUYU UNDERGROUND CITY
(2025) Nas, Sezin; Saher, Konca; Aytis, Saadet; Mihci, Gurkan
Soundscape research plays a vital role in understanding historical environments by complementing visual interpretation and enhancing spatial perception. This study is part of a doctoral research which focuses on uncovering the acoustic identity and soundscape of Derinkuyu Underground City, a unique subterranean heritage site in Cappadocia, Turkey. Adapting the framework of ISO/TS 12913-2:2018, the research integrates soundscape methodologies with virtual reality (VR) to reconstruct the auditory experience of the site. Virtual soundwalk as an innovative method is significant in defining soundscapes and uncovering their historical narratives. This particular study aims to adapt and refine the virtual soundwalk methodology outlined in ISO/TS 12913-2:2018 to describe the soundscape of Derinkuyu Underground City, an urban-scale interior environment. Key interior typologies were identified based on function, scale, and spatial hierarchy, forming a structured VR soundwalk that guides participants through different levels of the city, from the entrance to the deepest, seventh level. The chosen typologies represent the entirety of the city's levels and spaces. The models integrate distinctive sound sources specific to each interior space, establishing a taxonomy and enriching these environments with sound scenarios. The scenarios were auralized using ODEON software and integrated into the virtual reality models. Auralized sound scenarios, developed using ODEON software, were embedded into 3D VR models to simulate the acoustic conditions of the underground spaces. At designated listening points, participants experience immersive reconstructions of historical soundscapes, reflecting the functional and social dynamics of the site. This study underscores the significance of soundscape in interpreting cultural heritage and highlights the potential of VR technology in preserving and experiencing historical acoustic environments. By refining virtual soundwalk methodologies, it contributes to advancing soundscape research and its applications in heritage conservation. © Copyright 2012 - 2025 IIAV - All Rights Reserved.
Effects of the Work Environment on Turnover Intentions among Psychiatric Nurses: The Mediating Role of Burnout
(2025) Işık, Nurten Arslan; Sandıkçı, İrem Nur; Şekeroğlu, Beyza; Demirci, Şevval; Keleş, Dılşa Azizoğlu; Kotyk, Taras
This study examines the impact of the nursing work environment on turnover intention among psychiatric nurses and explores the mediating role of burnout in this relationship. A cross-sectional design was employed, including 168 psychiatric nurses working in various psychiatric hospitals across Turkey. Data were collected using a demographic information form, the Nursing Work Environment Index (NWEI), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Turnover Intention Scale. Spearman correlation analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) were used to assess the relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that the nursing work environment negatively affects turnover intention (β = -0.179, p = .009), whereas burnout positively influences turnover intention (β = 0.501, p < .001). Furthermore, burnout significantly mediates the relationship between the work environment and turnover intention (β = -0.221, p < .001). These results highlight the importance of improving the work environment for psychiatric nurses to reduce burnout and mitigate turnover intention. Managerial support, effective leadership, and enhanced resources may play a crucial role in addressing these challenges
Alglerin Sürdürülebilirlik ve Besin Zenginleştirmedeki Yeri
(2025) Anık, Sema; Kestane, Vahibe Uluçay
Son yıllarda dünyada gıda üretiminde üst limitlere ulaşılmasına rağmen her 9 kişiden biri yetersiz beslenme ile karşı karşıyadır. İklim değişimi ve nüfus artışı ile durumun daha da kötüleşmesi sürdürülebilir alternatif enerji ve protein kaynaklarına yönelmeyi ihtiyaç haline getirmiştir. Sürdürülebilirlik kavramı, her zaman var olma, geleceğe kalabilme, varlığını devam ettirme olarak açıklanmaktadır. Bir beslenme stratejisi olarak düşünüldüğünde ise düşük çevresel etkiye sahip, protein seçeneklerinin var olduğu yeni alternatif kaynakların arayışı olarak gündeme gelmiştir. Literatürde alternatif protein kaynakları arasında yenilebilir böcekler, yenilebilir alg türleri ve biyoteknolojik yöntemler kullanılarak üretilen sentetik etler bulunmaktadır. Alglerin sucul ortamda doğal olarak yetişebilmeleri, çok uzun zaman güvenli olarak tüketilmeleri, makro ve mikro besin ögesi çeşitliliği ile biyoaktif madde yoğunluğunun yüksek olması, genetik olarak modifiye edilebilmeleri ve ihtiyaç duyulan ögelere göre seçilip çoğaltılabilmeleri gibi nedenlerden dolayı geleceğe yönelik doğal besin alternatifleri arasında yer almaktadır. Bu nedenle günümüzde süt ürünleri, makarna, ekmek vb. tahıl ürünleri gibi insan beslenmesinde sıklıkla tüketilen besinlere çeşitli mikroalg türleri ilave edilerek bu besinlerin makro ve mikro besin ögeleri yönünden zenginleştirilmesi sağlanmaktadır. Mikroalgler sağlıklı bir diyet için yeterince araştırılmamış doğal bir kaynaktır. Bu nedenle yüksek değerli ürünler elde edebilmek için yeni mikroalg suşlarının tanımlanması ve özelliklerinin belirlenmesine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu derlemenin amacı, artan dünya nüfusunun gıda ihtiyacını karşılamak için sürdürülebilir ve yenilikçi protein kaynaklarına olan gereksinimi açıklamak ve alglerin sürdürülebilirlik ve besin zenginleştirmede alternatif besin kaynağı olarak kullanılmasının önemini vurgulamaktır.
