Individuals, in the process of establishing a meaningful world, create communicating and interacting socially. As Symbolic Interactionists underline, free individuals with free will continue their lives by adapting to the order, in a sense, as imitators of the resources they interact with in the social order. Based on these theories, communication experts and sociologists are expected to realistically evaluate the meanings and consequences created by symbols so that people can live meaningful lives in the interaction processes that individuals are exposed to in society. According to the symbolic interactionist approach, what others think about us represents a process that directly affects who we are. In terms of symbolic interactionism, daily life constitutes one of the most important social elements that should be examined as the area of use of common symbols and language that reveal meaning. This study aims to address the concept of symbolic interaction in order to emphasize the importance of how symbols in culture and many social areas in society, from sports to music, from art to literature, from media to social media, interact with individuals and how similar behaviors become widespread. In the research, document review and qualitative data collection methods were used through symbols. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the advanced levels of technology, it has become very difficult to create physical unity between people. With the global spread of the Internet, the number of users of new media platforms is increasing day by day. With the increase in the number of users, physical ties between societies are replaced by remote, virtual communication. The fact that people stay away from physical ties has pushed them to create their own personal worlds on new media platforms and to prove and accept their self-identity to the societies they are in. In this study, it is aimed to show that students studying at Bitlis Eren University, Güroymak Vocational School are in the expectation of being liked in the posts they have shared on new media platforms and to reveal the reasons for this expectation. Phenomonological approach was used in the research. The participants of the study were selected by random sampling method. Students' opinions were collected through semistructured interview technique. Content analysis method was used to analyze the data. As a result of the study, it is seen that students who post on new media platforms are in the idea of social acceptance towards their peers and relatives due to limited face-to-face communication opportunities. It is seen that students act in the expectation of being liked and accepted in their posts. As a result of the fulfillment of expectations, students experience happiness, self-confidence, improvement in their relations with the social environment and an adjustment in their perspectives towards life. Technological advances and the inclusion of the internet phenomenon in media platforms cause the concern of being liked and accepted among students. In addition, since the interview/interview method was applied to the participants, the ethics committee permission was deemed Bitlis Eren University Ethical Principles and Ethics Committee's decision numbered 2024/03-29 and E.5281 was deemed appropriate and ethics committee permission was deemed appropriate.

Bu araştırma, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin, eğitim süreçlerinde şiddetsiz iletişim kullanma durumları hakkındaki görüşlerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çocuğun iletişim dilinin şekillendiği erken çocukluk döneminde, okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin şiddetten arındırılmış bir dil kullanması gereklidir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında okul öncesi öğretmenlerinin şiddetsiz iletişim hakkındaki düşünceleri ve mesleki deneyimleri önemlidir. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomonoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla odak grup görüşmesi yapılan bu araştırmada, görüşme yapılan öğretmenler amaçlı örneklem türlerinden ölçüt örneklem yöntemiyle belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, 2020-2021 eğitim-öğretim yılında, Gaziantep il, ilçe merkezleri ve köylerinde bulunan resmi okul öncesi eğitim kurumlarında görev yapan 18 okul öncesi öğretmeni oluşturmaktadır. Görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler içerik analizi yöntemiyle incelenerek, elde edilen bulgular yorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda, öğretmenlerin çocuklarla iletişim kurarken genel olarak kendilerini yeterli buldukları görülmüştür. Fakat şiddetsiz iletişim algılarının yeterli düzeyde olmadığı ve bu becerileri kısmi olarak kullandıkları görülmüştür. Öğretmenlerin iletişim konusundaki tutum ve davranışlarının çalıştıkları bölgenin sosyoekonomik durumuna göre farklılık gösterdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Yerel yönetimlerde halkla ilişkiler, halkın siyasete katılım taleplerinin artması ve sivil toplum örgütlerinin taleplerinin çeşitlenmesiyle 1980'lerden itibaren önem kazanmıştır. Halkla ilişkiler, yönetim ile halk arasındaki ilişkiyi geliştiren ve alınan kararların halk üzerindeki etkilerini değerlendiren bir iletişim sürecidir. Yerel yönetimler, özellikle metropollerde kültür kurumlarını koruma ve kültürel değişim taleplerini yönetme rolü üstlenmektedir. Halkla ilişkiler, kültürü biçimlendiren, anlamlar yükleyen ve toplumsal değerleri yansıtan bir disiplin olarak, kültür politikalarının oluşturulmasında aracılık etmektedir. Bu çalışma, halkla ilişkilerin kültür politikaları açısından rolünü ve bir metropol özelinde uygulanma durumunu incelemektedir. Yerel yönetimlerin kültür politikaları ile halkla ilişkiler stratejileri arasındaki ilişkiyi ele alarak, kültür ve sanat organizasyonlarının farklı izleyici kitleleriyle iletişim kurma stratejilerini değerlendirmektedir. Aynı zamanda, halkla ilişkilerin sosyal ve kültürel kalkınma için bir iletişim aracı olarak kullanılmasını incelemektedir. Çalışmada, İzmir Büyükşehir Belediyesi model alınarak, kültür ve iletişim departmanlarıyla yapılan yarı yapılandırılmış mülakatlar yoluyla halkla ilişkilerin kültür politikalarına aracılık etme stratejileri analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, kültür ve sanat alanında örgütsel ve uygulayıcı düzeydeki aktörlerin halkla ilişkiler araçlarını benimsemesi ve uygun stratejiler belirlemesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.

When considered conceptually, flawlessness is the absence of deficiency or incompleteness. The individual in social networks presents his/her own posts to other users by hiding or changing his/her dissatisfaction both physically and psychologically. During this time, social networks function as 'perfecting'. When gender roles, sexuality and self issues are considered, it is seen that some practices such as being beautiful and staying young, which are the manifestation of the feeling of being liked, which permeates women's lives from their nature and is imposed in some way, are the dominant impulses in social media. The points that the study tries to examine in general terms are social media and digital transformation, then the illusion of flawlessness on social media will be analyzed. Finally, the ten instagram accounts selected. These influencers are chosen according to fitness, beauty, nutrition & health, lifestyle and travel categories. As a result of the study, it is seen that influencers are satisfied with their lives; they do not show difficulties they experience in life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Effective communication, collaboration, and coordination among teams are vital for successfully executing flight operations. Aim of the study is to assess the intra-team communication, coordination, and collaboration skills of cabin crew candidates, to understand their sense of belonging aimed at fostering team spirit, and to evaluate their awareness of acting as a cohesive unit. An ancillary objective of the study is to determine whether the demographic characteristics demonstrate statistically significant differences concerning the research variables. In light of these objectives, quantitative research methods were employed, utilizing a face-to-face survey technique that included a scale encompassing five main dimensions: collaboration, communication, team flexibility, sense of belonging, and team competencies. Primary data were obtained from 387 participants who were in the position of cabin crew candidates, accessed through convenience sampling in the airline industry. The acquired data were analyzed using the SPSS statistical software package. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that cabin crew candidates exhibited high levels of team dynamics, including belonging, collaboration, communication, and flexibility, as well as overall team skills. Correlation analysis revealed positive and significant relationships among these variables. In light of these findings, certain inferences and evaluations are expected to contribute to both the literature and the practice of civil aviation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Media - society relations involve complex events, behaviors and processes. For this reason, it can be examined from different angles and dimensions. This article deals with the media's relations with society in the context of politics. The aim of the study is to understand the social dimensions of the media, its effects on society, and the media-related dimensions of society and its effects on the media in terms of their connections with politics. In the study carried out for this purpose, various aspects of the interactive relations of mass media with society within the framework of politics are tried to be understood with the literature review method and by referring to sources related to the subject of the study. While media represents a great power that interacts with the reality of society with many different types, tools, elements, methods and identities, it is within the scope of the most important dimensions of society and social relations in politics. In this sense, as a summary of the results reached in the study, it can be said that, on the one hand, politics affects the media, society and media-society relations, and on the other hand, media, society and media-society relations affect politics. In the processes of mediatization of politics and politicization of the media, the mutual relations between the media and society have a unique situation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: In addressing the issue of violence in healthcare, it is essential to assess the grievances and requests of individuals who utilise healthcare facilities. This study aimed to examine the SABIM (Call Center of the Ministry of Health of Türkiye) applications submitted to the Uskudar and Sultanbeyli District Health Directorates in Istanbul between 2019 and 2022. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study evaluated SABIM applications reported by the Ministry of Health to the Uskudar and Sultanbeyli district health directorates. Between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2022, 560 SABIM applications from citizens who applied to health facilities in Uskudar and Sultanbeyli districts between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2022 and were dissatisfied with the service process, including violence, were evaluated under different themes. Results: The research findings indicated that the majority of applications were submitted to public health institutions (82.5%). The majority of applicants (76.80%) were male, while 57.67% of them resided in Uskudar. Of those who submitted applications to SABİM, 45.71% did so on their own behalf, while 34.10% applied on behalf of their spouses and children. The most prevalent issues encountered in both public and private healthcare facilities were communication and service-related problems. The majority of grievances submitted to the SABİM authority pertained to medical practitioners. Themes of complaints in public and private healthcare facilities were found to be associated with the place of residence of citizens, with a statistically significant correlation (p < 0.05). Conclusions: Violence-related complaints in the SABIM were related to the communication dimension, which largely covers the attitudes and behaviours of health care professionals and the service procurement process. Interventions aimed at improving the health literacy of the community and the communication skills of health professionals can contribute to the prevention of health-related violence.

Throughout human history, diplomacy has aimed to conduct international relations in a peaceful manner. Historically, diplomacy has played a significant role between states and societies, and in the modern world, it has gained even more importance with communication technologies, economic integration, migrations, and political changes. These developments have expanded diplomacy beyond being state-centric, incorporating new actors such as public diplomacy and non-governmental organizations, and allowing it to play an active role in new areas, especially religious diplomacy. Religious diplomacy offers a new perspective on religion's function in international relations, with the potential to foster understanding and build bridges between different cultures. This approach provides inclusive and multi-dimensional solutions to global issues, thereby enhancing inter-societal cooperation. The aim of this article is to examine how the diplomatic communication strategies of the Prophet Muhammad can be integrated into modern diplomacy and to discuss the significance and potential of religious diplomacy in international relations. The study analyzes the Prophet Muhammad's diplomatic strategies in a historical context and explores their applicability to modern diplomacy. The methodology involves examining historical examples such as the Constitution of Medina and the Treaty of al-Hudaybiya to analyze the fundamental principles and practices of religious diplomacy.

Communication is the process of information exchange between the source and the receiver in which people transfer their feelings, thoughts, knowledge, wishes and dreams to each other in a verbal, non-verbal or written form. Communication is the key to success and building social relationships. Strong or weak communication leads to the concept of effective communication. People with strong communication skills express themselves better, take care to listen and understand others, and empathize. It is of particular importance to raise students successfully in terms of communication skills at the secondary school level, which forms the basis for many learning. One of the main goals of language teaching is to bring individuals who can communicate effectively and accurately into society. The aim of this study was to develop an Effective Communication Skills Scale for middle school students. In line with the data of the study, a total of 817 secondary school students were reached, 411 for exploratory factor analysis, 311 for confirmatory factor analysis, and 95 for test-retest applications. Different sample groups were used at each stage. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a 15-item Effective Communication Skills Scale consisting of a single factor was obtained. The total variance value of the scale was found to be 35.69%. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the exploratory factor analysis structure (X2=115.11, X2/sd= 1.308, RMSEA=.032, Standardized RMR= .045, NFI=.92, NNFI=.97, CFI= .98, GFI= .95, AGFI= .94, IFI= .98, PNFI= .77, PGFI= .70). In addition, it was determined that Cronbach's Alpha value was .87 and the correlation value obtained from the test-retest applications was .75. Therefore, it was seen that the reliability values determined were also good. As a result, a 15-item Effective Communication Skills Scale for middle school students was obtained. It is thought that this scale can be used to determine middle school students' perceptions of effective communication skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to reveal the relationship between the interface designs and design principles of popular and successful video games. The population of the research consists of students studying in the Digital Game Design department in Turkey. The sample of the research consists of Kahramanmaraş İstiklal University Digital Game Design students. In this qualitatively designed research, intentional sampling method was chosen from non-probability sampling methods. A rubric rubric was preferred as the material in the study. A successful interface design is a must for a game. The bad gameplay or bad story of a preferred game does not affect its sales as much as the visual design. Visual designs always make the first impact on a purchased or downloaded game, and if the designs are attractive, the game somehow stands out. Game interface designs are an important communication tool for the promotion of games. In digital games, game interface designs are the visual output of the game and are used as a visual communication tool that affects the target audience. Game designs contain elements of typography, color, imagery and layout. Examining these elements is important in terms of both understanding the design potential of the video game industry and understanding how interface design is handled together with the game. The Visual Communication designer undertakes the important task of deciding on the placement of all these visual elements and the font to be preferred for the interface design, so as not to obstruct the player's main view. The design also contributes to the game's visual style, distinguishing it from other games and subconsciously influencing the player's mood. According to the results of the study, typographical evaluation of the interface designs of the top 10 most preferred mobile games in the online environment will guide the designers of the games to be designed.

Sosyal bir varlık olan insanın hayatında günlük selamlaşmanın etkili iletişim için önemli olduğu bir gerçektir. Fakat son zamanlarda iletişimin sanal alemle sınırlı olduğu ve özellikle pandemi döneminin olumsuz sonuçları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda konunun önemi daha da artmaktadır. Aynı zamanda öğretmen ile öğrenci arasında gerçekleşecek etkili iletişimin önemi sayesinde sınıf yönetiminin daha da kolaylaştığı göz ardı edilmemelidir. Söz konusu çalışma ile öğrencilerin sosyal hayatta ve sınıf ortamında günlük selamlaşmanın iletişim becerilerinde ve sınıf yönetimindeki rolünün olup olmadığı amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada nicel araştırma yönteminin deneysel modeli kullanılmıştır. Veriler ise Excel programı kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Araştırmanın evreni Şanlıurfa ili fen liseleri, örneklemi ise Necip Fazıl Kısakürek Fen Lisesi 9. sınıfa devam eden 48 öğrenciden oluşan iki sınıflık grup kontrol ve yine 9. sınıfa devam eden 52 öğrenciden oluşan iki sınıflık grup deney grubu olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışmada 2024 Mart ayı boyunca deney grubu sınıflarında derse giren tüm öğretmenlerden, dört hafta boyunca sabah, akşam ve derse girdiklerinde deney grubu öğrencileri ile selamlaşmaları dersin başında birkaç dakika da olsa selamlaşmanın önemi ve gerekliliği hakkında sohbet etmeleri istenmiştir. Kontrol grubuna ise herhangi bir farklılık olmadan derslerine devam etmeleri istenmiştir. Belirlenen dört haftalık araştırma süreci tamamlandığında her iki gruba da “Etkili İletişim Becerileri Ölçeği” ve “Sınıf Yönetimi Ölçeği” son test tasarımı tercih edilmiş ve uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular sonucu hem iletişim becerileri hem de sınıf yönetimi verilerinde deney grubu puan ortalamaları ile kontrol grubu puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı farkın olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca kız öğrencilerin erkek öğrencilere göre hem iletişim becerilerinde hem de sınıf yönetimi puan ortalamalarında anlamlı fark olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. İletişim becerileri genel bulgularının yanında ölçeğin “Egoyu Geliştirici Dil”, “Etkin Dinleme”, “Kendini Tanıma-Kendini Açma”, “Empati”, “Ben Dili” gibi alt faktörlerinde de deney grubu ile kontrol grubu puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark ortaya çıkmıştır. Aynı zamanda sınıf yönetimi ölçeğinin “İnsan Yönetimi” ve “Davranış Yönetimi” alt faktörlerinde deney grubu ile kontrol grubu puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı fark ortaya çıkmıştır. Fakat “Ders Yönetimi” alt faktöründe her iki grubun puan ortalamaları eşit çıkmıştır. Bu sonuçlara göre selamlaşmanın önemini kavrayan bireylerin sosyal ortamlara daha hızlı ve kolay adaptasyon sağladığı, günlük selamlaşma ve kısa süreli sohbetlerin kişilerde iletişim becerilerini arttırdığı ve sınıf ortamına kolaylıkla uyum sağladığı sonucuna varılmıştır. * Araştırma, Karaköprü İlçe Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğünün 27.03.2023 tarihli ve E-689718-73153771 sayılı izni ile yürütülmüştür.

The aim of this study is to examine the development of the concept of sustainable communication in the business, management and communication literature through bibliometric analysis. Sustainable communication involves strategic, transparent dissemination of information integrating environmental, social, and economic factors, engaging stakeholders, promoting awareness, and emphasizing the interconnectedness of sustainability dimensions. The research problem lies in the absence of a comprehensive bibliometric study on sustainable communication, despite the abundance of studies in field of sustainability and communication. This study will fill this gap in the literature by utilizing the bibliometric analysis method and contributing to the existing literature. The situation underscores the significance of research. In line with this purposes, this study examines 2724 articles on sustainable communication, focusing on applied studies and focusing on the distribution of these articles, co-authorship, co-citation, and co-occurence of the authors who published them. As a result of the bibliometric analysis, it has been determined that the field of sustainable communication has continued to develop over the years and that the concepts of big data within the scope of Industry 4.0, green business, sustainable business, sustainable supply chain management, environmental performance, greenwashing, and the circular economy have come to the fore in recent years. The study’s findings can be beneficial to scholars as they reveal the current performance of authors, documents, as well as the progression of themes.
