Environmental issues have spread around the world as a result of rapidly evolving technology, industrialization, urbanization, and population expansion. Alongside this, wastes are produced as a result of rising manufacturing activities, the use of natural resources, and brisk consumption. Thus, waste management poses a great danger to both our environment and future generations and is one of the most important environmental problems of our age. Sustainable waste management should be implemented effectively in order to protect rapidly depleted natural resources within the scope of sustainable waste management, prevent the negative effects of waste on the environment and human health, and to ensure their participation as an economic input. The aim of this study is to examine the studies on sustainable waste management between the years 2010–2021 with the visual mapping method. In this context, SSCI, SCI and ESCI indexes were selected in the Web of Science database, and a search was conducted with the concept of “sustainable waste management”. There were 599 publications found with the phrase “sustainable waste management” in the title. Later, these publications were visualized and interpreted through the VOSviewer mapping method. The most frequently used keyword in the findings was “sustainable waste management”. The author with the most publications was “Yong Sik Ok”, while the most cited author was “Daniel C.W. Tsang”. It was observed that the highest number of publications among the countries was in China. China was also identified as the country with the highest number of citations. The findings of the study can be graphically visualized to obtain the most relevant information to be applied in firms. Additionally, because doing a literature review requires a lot of time, it is believed that the researchers will find the findings of this study that compiles the literature useful. For policy makers can bring new perspectives about incorporating strategies in wastes and waste management.

Günümüzde teknolojik yenilik ve gelişmeler sonucu ortaya çıkan inovasyon, toplumları ve sosyal yaşamı doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu etkileşim, sosyal inovasyon kavramının ortaya çıkmasına sebep olmuştur. Sosyal inovasyon, sosyal ilerlemeyi desteklemek amacıyla sosyal ve çevresel sorunlara etkili çözümler geliştirme ve uygulama sürecidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, son yıllarda öne çıkan sosyal inovasyon kavramı ile ilgili yapılmış araştırmaları bibliyometrik analiz yöntemi ile incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda Web of Science veritabanında sosyal inovasyon kavramı kullanılarak 2010-2019 yılları arası baz alınarak tarama yapılmış ve toplamda 579 yayına ulaşılmıştır. Yayınlar, VOSviewer haritalama yöntemi ile görselleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonrası incelenen çalışmalarda en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimenin “sosyal inovasyon” olduğu, en fazla yayın yapan ve en fazla ortak yazarlığı olan yazarın Antonius Schröder olduğu ve en fazla atıf alan yazarın Frances R. Westley olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca en fazla yayın yapan ülkenin İspanya (90 yayın), en fazla atıf alan ülkenin ise İngiltere (915 atıf) olduğu bulgular arasındadır.

Eğitim ve sağlık alanına yönelik yapılan yatırımlar beşeri sermayenin önemli unsurları arasında yer almaktadır ve bu yatırımlar sosyal ve ekonomik hedefler için de önemli bir yerdedir. Beşeri sermayenin üretim ve ekonomik büyümede fiziksel sermaye kadar kritik bir rolü olduğu varsayılmaktadır. Nitekim beşeri sermayenin yeterli olması, ülke içinde çalışan kesimin yeteneklerini, üretkenlik düzeyini ve hayat standartlarını arttırarak ekonomik büyümeye katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1999-2019 dönem verileri ile Avrupa Birliği (AB) ülkeleri ve Türkiye’de beşeri sermayenin ekonomik büyüme ile ilişkisini panel veri analizi yöntemi ile incelemektir. Çalışma kapsamında kurulan model için gerekli olan tüm testler “Arellano, Froot ve Rogers Tahmincisi” modelinin kullanılmasının uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. Yapılan analizler sonrası bulgular, beşeri sermaye ile ekonomik büyüme arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Eğitim harcamalarındaki meydana gelen 1 birimlik bir artış ekonomik büyüme üzerinde 0.5 birimlik artışa neden olurken; sağlık harcamalarında meydana gelen 1 birimlik bir artış ekonomik büyümede 0.15 birimlik bir artış meydana getirmektedir.

Numerous factors influence the tendency for materialism and compulsive shopping. Burnout, one of these factors, is a frequently seen situation, especially in working individuals. This study aims to reveal the effect of emotional exhaustion, personal accomplishment, and depersonalization which are the three sub-dimensions of burnout, on individuals' materialism tendencies and obsessive-compulsive and impulsive purchasing behaviors. Data was collected from 390 consumers over the age of 18 who live and work in Türkiye voluntarily through a survey form prepared for the research. Structural equation modelling was used in the analysis to measure impact. According to the results of the analysis, while emotional exhaustion positively affects materialist tendencies and impulsive buying, it does not affect obsessive-compulsive buying. While personal accomplishment negatively affects materialistic tendencies and obsessive-compulsive buying, it does not affect impulse buying. Finally, while depersonalization does not affect the materialist tendency, it positively affects obsessive-compulsive buying and impulsive buying.

In contemporary society, the notion of "sustainability" is progressively assuming significance due to the mounting issues of global warming, drought, uncontrolled industrialization, and insufficient government regulations pertaining to these matters. This research aims to examine the literature on sustainability in logistics from 2007 to 2021, utilizing the VOSviewer visual mapping method. In this direction, a review of recent publications in the relevant field was conducted to determine the terms for searching, leading to the inclusion of concepts such as "green logistics," "sustainable logistics," "environmental logistics," and "ecological logistics" in the search query within the Web of Science database. The search yielded a total of 881 publications. The analysis revealed that the highest number of publications (133 publications) was observed in 2019 and the most frequently employed keyword was "green logistics". Furthermore, the author with the most publications and highest number of citations was found to be "Syed Abdul Rehman Khan" with 814 citations. Concerning the countries' contributions, China emerged as the leading nation with 271 publications. China also claimed the highest number of citations among the countries examined.

It is essential that people, businesses, and the government provide sustainable solutions to the environmental problems the globe suffers. Green entrepreneurship is one way to address these issues. In the research model based on the Value Identity Norm Model, the primary goal is to determine the moderating influence of variables (such as family, education, support of government & university) as well as the impact of these factors on university students' intention to participate in green entrepreneurship. Through a face-to-face survey, information was gathered from 475 students enrolled at four higher education institutions in the province of Mersin. Using the SmartPLS 4 tool, the data was analyzed in the context of structural equation modeling using partial least squares. The study's findings showed that university students' intents for green entrepreneurship were strongly influenced by biospheric values, environmental self-identities, personal norms, and green entrepreneurship self-efficacy. It showed that the decision to participate in sustainable enterprises is affected by personal norms and environmental self-identities. It was found that families, schools, colleges, and the government had little to no moderating effect.
