The Interpretation Principle in Favour of the Employee in the Turkish Individual Labour Law
Authors: Barin Nurgül Emine
Published: February 2023

The application of the law in terms of meaning is called interpretation. If there is doubt or conflict in determining the meaning of a legal rule or contract, or if there is a gap in the law, interpretation becomes inevitable. There are many methods of interpretation in general law. However, based on the principle of protecting the employee in labour law, the principle of "interpretation in favor of the employee ", which is a special form of interpretation, has emerged. In the study, the place and application of this method in individual labour law are discussed. While examining the principle of "interpretation in favor of the employee" examples from relevant judicial decisions are given. It is understood that the principle of interpretation in favor of the employee has turned into a settled form of interpretation with judicial decisions in labor law. In the study, it was revealed that there are factors and boundaries that should be considered while applying this interpretation method. Conclusions: As a result of the study, it is understood that the principle of interpretation in favor of the employee, which emerged as a result of the obligation to protect the employee who is weak against the employer, is widely applied in the courts. But, making decisions that disrupt the delicate balance between the employee and the employer by completely ignoring the general principles of the law will prevent the realization of the purpose expected from this method of interpretation. In the article, the factors that should be taken into consideration while applying the principle of "interpretation in favor of the employee" are also examined.

Authors: Di̇ler Huriye Gonca
Published: February 2023

Telecommunications infrastructure is critical not only for domestic growth, but also for combining credit with international commodity and financial markets, such as the smooth flow of foreign investment, facilitating the positive value of net exports, and increasing the added value in the economy's GDP. In this study, fixed telephone lines in the period since the Republic of Turkey, is to investigate whether mobile phone and affect the economic growth of the telecommunications sector showing growth in internet connection. In our study, the penetration rate represents the development of telecommunications industry. Penetration rate is defined as the number of fixed line and mobile phone subscribers per 100 people. In order to measure the penetration rate in Turkey, we have used the ratio of the total number of fixed line, mobile subscribers and internet users to the population, taking into account the dates when mobile communication and the internet started. Economic growth is represented as the rate of change to Gross Domestic Product. The data used in this study cover an annual period 1935-2017. After investigating the stationarity of the series of variables, a causal relationship between the Toda-Yamamoto causality test and the penetration rate and GDP change rate series was examined. The findings of the analysis, the development of telecommunications in Turkey revealed that does not affect economic growth. According to this result, the Solow paradox is valid in the period examined in Turkey.
Implications of the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive on Non-Core Banks and Investment Firms in Malta

Published: February 2023

Through this research study, the authors set out to analyse the implications of the BRRD on non-core domestic banks as well as investment firms. The main aim behind this study is researchersto gain an insight into how such institutions are managing in view of the requirements of the BRRD. Besides building a thorough understanding of the impact of BRRD provisions on these institutions, this study also sets out to explore the potential challenges that might arise following the application of said provisions. Purposive sampling was applied, whereby the researchers collected the data by holding semi-structured interviews with representatives from a select number of non-core domestic banks and investment firms. The findings converge on a number of points. The institutions under study lacked the necessary guidance, largely because the BRRD was implemented rather quickly to immediately address the weaknesses of resolution and supervision that came to light after the 2008 financial crisis. In this respect, the institutions concerned were not able to invest adequate time in their preparation process. In line with previous local research, an ambivalent approach was also observed in relation to the benefits of the measures under the BRRD, especially in the case of small-sized institutions. These outcomes show that the BRRD might be too recent of a regulatory framework to bear concrete results. Although it has generally been welcomed as a constructive measure bent on bringing improvements in the spheres of recovery and resolution, there needs to be further time, and understanding and work by both authorities and institutions to fully realise its benefits. Given that the BRRD is an important step towards further maintaining financial stability and fighting against financial calamities, this study carries the value of bringing together the existing research done already in this area, further extending the research to cover more domestic institutions and ultimately contributing to a more holistic understanding of the implications of the BRRD in Malta.

Authors: Atasever Mesut , Çürük Semiye
Published: February 2023

Introduction: Strategic management and its most important component, the strategic policies, and the expression of these policies and the implementation of the stated policies are very important. The purpose of this study is to examine the policy statements of the enterprises operating in the field of logistics, which is an important sector for the economy of countries, to examine whether they are current and industry-appropriate statements, and to discuss the reasons. Categorization and interpretation were preferred as methods. As a scope, only policy statements among the strategic concepts shared by the Logistics Association (LODER) member enterprises in the logistics sector have been discussed and studied. Especially in logistics enterprises, the establishment of strategic management and strategic policies, their expression, sharing and their implementation, the concepts emphasized and prioritized in the policies, and whether these concepts are up-to-date and appropriate to the sector should be seen as a problem. According to the findings, an important part of the policy statements are about customers and customer-related concepts. It has been observed that the concepts prioritized in policy statements are not specific to the business, which are popular and shared in most businesses. The fact that the concepts examined are not up to date causes businesses to stay away from the concepts they really need. The fact that the stated policies are not specific to the business will not benefit the strategic management of the business in details. This study is expected to be beneficial to academics and administrators working in this field.

Volatility is considered one of the most important risk indicator. The high volatility in a data set means that the risk is high. The aim of the study is to predict the strong changes in the main activity items of the banking sector from the post-crisis period to the present, based on the number of delays. During the period from the end of 2002 to the end of 2017, the volatility of the main financial items at the end of the three-month period has been analyzed in the Turkish Banking Sector. Afterwards, these main items were taken into consideration of past trends and predictive equations related to the levels that can be reached in the future were established. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the highest change is primarily in the volume of the sector and in the loans and deposit items immediately afterwards. The high change in these two main factors in balance sheet naturally leads to a high volatility of the balance sheet total as well.

The performance of solar panels is strongly influenced by several parameters including panel surface temperature, ambient temperature, and solar irradiance. This research makes a solar irradiation sensor using solar panels as a substitute for a pyranometer and adds temperature and wind speed sensors to determine the effect on PLTS performance. To find out the temperature, the PV surface temperature uses the DS18B20 sensor and the ambient temperature sensor uses the DHT11 sensor. Anemometer sensors use wind speed to find out, then each sensor is configured with an Arduino microcontroller so that it can operate and display the required data. The test results obtained the effect of wind speed on the performance of solar panels.

Authors: Angeles Mary Rose , Crosland Paul , Hensher Martin
Published: February 2023

Objectives

To identify the financing and policy challenges for Medicare and universal health care in Australia, as well as opportunities for whole‐of‐system strengthening.

Study design

Review of publications on Medicare, the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, and the universal health care system in Australia published 1 January 2000 – 14 August 2021 that reported quantitative or qualitative research or data analyses, and of opinion articles, debates, commentaries, editorials, perspectives, and news reports on the Australian health care system published 1 January 2015 – 14 August 2021. Program‐, intervention‐ or provider‐specific articles, and publications regarding groups not fully covered by Medicare (eg, asylum seekers, prisoners) were excluded.

Data sources

MEDLINE Complete, the Health Policy Reference Centre, and Global Health databases (all via EBSCO); the Analysis & Policy Observatory, the Australian Indigenous HealthInfoNet, the Australian Public Affairs Information Service, Google, Google Scholar, and the Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) websites.

Results

The problems covered by the 76 articles included in our review could be grouped under seven major themes: fragmentation of health care and lack of integrated health financing, access of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to health services and essential medications, reform proposals for the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme, the burden of out‐of‐pocket costs, inequity, public subsidies for private health insurance, and other challenges for the Australian universal health care system.

Conclusions

A number of challenges threaten the sustainability and equity of the universal health care system in Australia. As the piecemeal reforms of the past twenty years have been inadequate for meeting these challenges, more effective, coordinated approaches are needed to improve and secure the universality of public health care in Australia.

Las cruces verdes: antiguos lugares de fiesta, potenciales lugares de identidad de la ciudad de Santa Cruz de la Sierra
Authors: Toledo Jimmy Cesar
Published: February 2023

Esta investigación busca los restos materiales de unaantigua costumbre casi perdida en la ciudad de Santa Cruzde la Sierra, Bolivia, como es la colocación de las llamadas“cruces verdes” en los barrios, y registrar las fiestaspopulares callejeras que se desarrollaban en torno a ellas.Preservar la historia, significados e identidades construidosdentro de las ciudades contribuye con el acervo culturalde los pueblos. En tal sentido, se ha buscado registrar enla ciudad, los lugares que aún se preservan relacionados ala tradición de la cruz y la fiesta celebrada anteriormente.La “Fiesta de la Cruz” tiene su origen en la tradición de lareligión Católica, pero también tiene relación directa conel nombre de la ciudad, la presencia de la cruz conviertea los espacios en lugares de referencia y de construcciónde una imagen urbana propia, tipo marca ciudad, y deesa manera sirven para la construcción de una identidadpropia. El trabajo de exploración realizado, busca identificarestos antiguos lugares de identidad y de encuentrocomunitario, para quizás más adelante intervenir con unavisión actual para que recuperen su vigencia, tanto comolugar de actividad y punto referencial del barrio donde seencuentren.

Objectives: This study compared dexmedetomidine to fentanyl as an adjunct to ropivacaine for epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing femoral neck fracture surgery. Methods: A total of 56 patients in two different groups with dexmedetomidine and fentanyl underwent the epidural anesthesia method by ropivacaine. This study compared the onset and duration of sensory block, duration of motor block, visual analog scale (VAS) analgesia, and sedation score. The VAS and hemodynamics (e.g., heart rate and mean arterial pressure) were measured every 5 to 15 minutes, then every 15 minutes to the end of the surgery, and then in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 6th, 12th, and 24th hours after surgery. Results: In the fentanyl group, the onset time of the sensory block was longer (P < 0.001), and the duration of the block was shorter than in the dexmedetomidine group (P = 0.045). In the fentanyl group, the onset time of motor block was longer than in the dexmedetomidine group (P < 0.001). The mean highest VAS score for each patient in the dexmedetomidine group was 4.9 ± 0.6, compared to the fentanyl group (5.8 ± 0.9), with a significant difference between the two groups (P < 0.001). The sedation score was higher from the 30th minute (P = 0.01) to the 120th minute (P = 0.04) in the patients of the dexmedetomidine group than in the fentanyl group. Side effects, such as dry mouth, hypotension, and bradycardia, were more common in the dexmedetomidine group, and nausea and vomiting were more common in the fentanyl group; however, there were no differences between the groups. There was no respiratory depression in both groups. Conclusions: This study presented that dexmedetomidine as an adjuvant in epidural anesthesia for orthopedic femoral fracture surgery shortens the onset time of sensory and motor block, increases analgesia length, and prolongs anesthesia. Sedation with dexmedetomidine is better than fentanyl, with fewer side effects, and more effective as preemptive analgesia.

Background: Warts are common skin disorders that are treated by a variety of methods. Therefore, researchers are searching for effective and less-complicated methods, especially for treatment-resistant warts. In this regard, the present study compared two methods, CO2 laser and trichloroacetic acid, to treat warts in patients who visited Khanevadeh Hospital from October 2013 to October 2014. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare two treatment methods, trichloroacetic acid, and CO2 laser, in patients with warts who visited Khanevadeh Hospital regarding side effects and efficacy of the treatment. Methods: The present interventional study, which had a randomized, double-blind clinical trial type, examined 60 patients with warts who visited Khanevadeh Hospital from October 2013 to October 2014, and determined and compared the side effects and efficacy of two treatment methods, CO2 laser, and Trichloroacetic acid. Results: The complete treatment effectiveness rate was 20% in the trichloroacetic acid group and 56.7% in the CO2 laser group, indicating a statistically significant difference (P = 0.005). There was no special side effect in any treatment methods. Conclusions: According to research results, the efficacy of CO2 laser was higher in treating warts than trichloroacetic acid; hence, its use is recommended in treating patients with warts because of its efficacy and safety.

: Azo dyes, as a major group of the synthetic colorants, are added to food products not only to make them aesthetic but also to preserve their appearance. However, the use of azo dyes in food has been banned worldwide due to side effects on human health. The search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Europe PMC beta, Science Direct, and Springer database considering all articles published up to 9 July 2021. The inclusion criteria were double-blind, randomized, cohort studies, placebo-controlled trials, case reports, non-controlled trials, and case series. Several studies suggest that azo dyes induce oxidative stress, which subsequently increases the concentration of malondialdehyde and reduces superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and glutathione (GSH) concentration in brain tissue. Also, results showed the adverse effects of azo dyes on the brain parts such as the prefrontal cortex, cerebellum, and cerebrum which, are accompanied by changes in brain function. It can be concluded that azo dyes with an increase in oxidative stress affect the most important parts of the brain and cause brain dysfunction. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the food additive azo dyes on brain tissues.
