The aim of this study is to address the issues identified in previous reviews and meta-analyses regarding the progress of patient experience literature and to highlight the most important concepts specifically related to digital health technologies. To do so, we have carried out a comprehensive analysis of the literature on patient experience in the category of health science services databases over the past decade and identified the tools related to digital health technologies within these studies. This is a bibliometric study based on data obtained from the Web of Science and Scopus between the years 2014 to and 2024 by using 11 search terms. In this review, a total of 21,392 publications from patient experience literature over the last decade were analyzed. Keywords were grouped by showing their co-occurrence using bibliometric and scientific mapping analyzing methods. The development of digitalization and digital tools has contributed to the advancement of theory in the field of digital health, eHealth, electronic health records, health information technology, the internet, mhealth, mobile applications, mobile health, patient portals, smartphones, social media, telemonitoring, web, artificial intelligence, machine learning, virtual reality, telehealth, telemedicine, telerehabilitation, and virtual care. These developments have provided sustainable digital health benefits in the development of patient experience theories. The findings of this study emphasize that digital health tools cover a wide area of research, and the application of information and communication technologies goes beyond the field of medicine and covers the broad field of healthcare.

The rapid growth of urbanization and industrialization has brought the issue of waste management to the forefront. Industrial, household, and medical waste management and disposal are major issues affecting the whole world. The adoption of digital technologies across society is largely a result of the increasing processing power of waste and decreasing costs. Waste management and recycling is also benefiting from emerging digital technologies. The Internet of Things, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, robotics, and data analytics are a few examples of specific digital technologies that are currently in use and are predicted to have a significant impact on the efficiency of the waste recycling industry in the future. The objective of this review, which was conducted using the bibliometric method and visualized with scientific mapping, is to demonstrate how the digital transformation of waste recycling has evolved over the last decade and to identify which issues have been overlooked or have become more prominent. The scope of the research is based on studies carried out all over the world and on digital applications and works in the field of waste recycling. In this review, bibliometric analysis was used to scan the entire field and the results were classified and interpreted according to the PRISMA (preferred reporting of systematic reviews and meta-analyses) methodology.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, dünyayı derinden etkileyen ve çalışma ilişkilerinde önemli değişimlere neden olan COVID-19 küresel salgını öncesi ve salgın sürecindeki durumu kıyaslayarak, dijital teknolojilerin öneminin artması ve ön plana çıkmasıyla gençlerin kariyer değerlendirmeleri ve dijital girişimcilik niyetlerindeki değişimleri ortaya koymaktır. Araştırma kapsamındaki veriler, Akdeniz Üniversitesi’nin dört farklı fakültesinde okuyan 407 öğrenciden elde edilmiştir. Araştırma bağlamında dokuz hipotez geliştirilmiş ve bu hipotezlerin test edilmesinde; korelasyon analizi, bağımlı örneklem t testi, bağımsız örneklem t testi, One Way ANOVA ve yapısal eşitlik modellemesinden yararlanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları COVID-19 öncesi döneme ilişkin gençlerin kariyer değerlendirmelerinin dijital girişimcilik niyetleri ile ilişkili olmadığını, ancak COVID-19 sürecinde kariyer değerlendirmelerinin zayıf da olsa dijital girişimcilik niyetiyle ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Diğer yandan, gençlerin COVID-19 öncesine ilişkin kariyer değerlendirmeleri ile COVID-19 sürecindeki kariyer değerlendirmeleri arasında anlamlı farklılık görülmezken, dijital girişimcilik niyetlerinde anlamlı farklılık olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapısal eşitlik modellemesi yardımıyla gerçekleştirilen yol analizleri gençlerin COVID-19 öncesine ilişkin ve COVID-19 sürecine ilişkin bireysel kariyer değerlendirmelerinin, onların COVID-19 öncesine ilişkin ve COVID-19 sürecine ilişkin dijital girişimcilik niyetleri üzerinde anlamlı etkisinin olmadığını göstermiştir. Yapılan bu çalışma, gençlerin özellikle COVID-19 öncesine ve COVID-19 sürecine dair algıları ışığında kariyer değerlendirmeleri ve dijital girişimcilik niyetlerini birlikte ele alarak irdelemesi yönüyle özgün bir niteliğe sahiptir. Ayrıca, çalışma kapsamında alanyazına dayalı derlenen, güvenilirlik analizi, açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri gerçekleştirilmiş olan “Gençler İçin Bireysel Kariyer Değerlendirme Ölçeği”nin daha sonra yapılacak çalışmalarda araştırmacılara yararlı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Grand challenges are defined as wicked problems that affect a significant number of people on a global scale. To overcome these challenges and ensure the continued existence of humanity, a greater focus has been placed on addressing the underlying issues. This has led to an increase in research and literature on grand challenges affecting both international business and multinational enterprises. The aim of this study is to assess the status of grand challenge literature in all areas connected to multinational enterprises and grand challenges, which are global issues with significant implications. From 2013 to 2023, the Web of Science database was used to investigate eight search terms from the literature, and bibliometric and thematic analyses were carried out based on the principles of the systematic literature analysis. The most focused areas of the research are performance, foreign direct investment, management, firms’ innovation, knowledge, corporate social responsibility, international business, and impact. Asian, African, European, and other countries may emerge together in different clusters depending on whether the grand challenges they are struggling with are similar or identical. The terms ‘grand challenges’, ‘innovation’ (open and social), ‘technology transfer’, ‘R&D internalization’, ‘digital transformation’, ‘technology’ and ‘artificial intelligence’ in the literature of multinational enterprises indicate that these themes are used as tools to solve grand challenges.
