In this study, to test an inference from the 1991 Previc hypothesis that right-handers have a right-ear advantage, the durations of hearing for the right and left ears were compared for 81 right- and 45 left-handed high school students. In the present study, right-handedness was associated with a right-ear advantage and left-handedness was associated with a left-ear advantage. In addition, there was a significant positive correlation between the durations of hearing for the right and left ears and the scores for right-handedness for right-handed subjects. The durations of hearing for the right and left ears were negatively correlated with the left-handedness for left-handed subjects. These results suggest hand preference may be related to asymmetry of aural sensitivity.

This study was carried out within the context of amenity migration addressed as a category of post-tourismmovements group with a purposeful sample of 489 participants. The main purpose of this research is to explore themotivations of participants of different nationalities in Alanya by using a push and pull framework and toinvestigate the relationship between motivation and overall destination satisfaction. A quantitative researchmethodology was adopted, and the descriptive and explanatory research methods were used. The findings of thisstudy indicated that pull and push motivations of participants differ according to country origin. Furthermore, theresults revealed that push and pull motivations significantly influence destination satisfaction. Moreover, it wasconcluded that push motivation factors of Middle Eastern and Russian participants had a higher impact ondestination satisfaction than European participants. Findings of the research were discussed along with theirtheoretical contributions and managerial implications.

Fractal dimensions of leaves from Cercis canadensis L., Robinia pseudoacacia L., Amelanchier arborea (F.Michx.) Fernald, Prunus persica (L.) Batsch, Quercus alba L., Carpinus caroliniana Walter, Ficus carica L., Morus rubra L., Platanus orientalis L., and Ulmus rubra Muhl. were calculated. The values were then confirmed and compared by those obtained from box-counting method and the exponent values of densitydensity correlation function (first time in the literature). It is now proposed for the first time that there is a relationship between a fractal dimension of the leaf and a surface density of the image and was concluded that together with other measures, the fractal dimensions with surface density function could be used as a new approach to taxonomical study of plants.
