This study explores the relationship between teachers’ entrepreneurial behaviors and their creativity-nurturing behaviors, with a particular emphasis on sustainability in education. While previous studies have typically examined entrepreneurship and creativity as separate concepts, often focusing on their individual dimensions, this study underscores the significance of integrating entrepreneurial and creative competencies to promote sustainable educational practices. By highlighting how teachers’ entrepreneurial and creative skills contribute to sustainable education, this study addresses the broader impact these competencies have on meeting the evolving needs and expectations of students, families, and society. This approach supports the development of a more resilient and adaptive education system that can thrive over time. The research involved 1396 classroom teachers from the Mersin province of Turkey. Analysis of the data revealed a strong positive correlation between teachers’ entrepreneurial behaviors and their creativity-nurturing behaviors, indicating that teachers who exhibit higher levels of entrepreneurial traits are more likely to engage in practices that foster creativity or that teachers who exhibit higher levels of creativity nurturing behaviors are more likely to engage in entrepreneurial practices among their students. Thus, the importance of the high-level relationship between entrepreneurial behaviors and creativity-enhancing behaviors in improving sustainability in education has been revealed. This study highlights the need to integrate entrepreneurial skills into teaching practices to support a sustainable educational framework.

The Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) is framed as a flagship of Türkiye’s national low-carbon transition. This study examines how domestic economic actors perceive the project’s socio-economic and environmental impacts, and how those perceptions align with—or diverge from—official assessments and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, the research draws on 28 semi-structured interviews with members of the Silifke Chamber of Commerce and Industry Council. This lens captures how locally embedded businesses read the project’s risks and rewards in real time. Four themes stand out. First, respondents see a clear economic uptick—but one that feels time-bound and vulnerable to the project cycle. Second, many feel excluded from decision-making; as a result, their support remains conditional rather than open-ended. Third, participants describe environmental signals as ambiguous, paired with genuine ecological concern. Fourth, skepticism about governance intertwines with sovereignty anxieties, particularly around foreign ownership and control. Overall, while short-term economic benefits are widely acknowledged, support is tempered by procedural exclusion, environmental worry, and distrust of foreign control. Conceptually, the study contributes to energy-justice scholarship by elevating sovereignty as an additional dimension of justice and by highlighting the link between being shut out of processes and perceiving higher environmental risk. Policy implications follow directly: create robust, domestic communication channels; strengthen participatory governance so local actors have a real voice; and embed nuclear projects within regional development strategies so economic gains are durable and broadly shared.

En tr Development of entrepreneurship is followed by economic, social and cultural development, so entrepreneurship is a vital term for all of the segments of the society. Entrepreneurship is based on people, society and its needs. Approaching the unresolved problems with a different perspective and producing business ideas accordingly is the main task of the entrepreneur. While satisfying the needs of individuals and society with effective entrepreneurship, the entrepreneur provides social and economic benefits. This study, examining postgraduate theses on entrepreneurship in Turkey, is related with the importance, characteristics and the types of entrepreneurship. Postgraduate theses on entrepreneurship are taken into consideration through content analysis. The quantitative and qualitative increase in academic work on entrepreneurship is anticipated to have an impact on the creation of new enterprises. Girişimciliğin gelişmesini ekonomik, sosyal ve kültürel gelişme izlemektedir. Bu bakımdan girişimcilik, her kesimin üzerinde önemle durduğu bir konu haline gelmiştir. Girişimciliğin temelinde insan, toplum ve onun ihtiyaçları vardır. Çözülemeyen sorunlara farklı bakış açılarıyla yaklaşarak buna göre iş fikirleri üretmek, girişimcinin başlıca görevidir. Etkin bir girişimcilik ile bireylerin ve toplumun ihtiyaçları karşılanırken, girişimci de sosyal ve ekonomik kazanç sağlamaktadır. Girişimcilik ile ilgili Türkiye’de yapılmış lisansüstü tezlerin incelendiği bu çalışmada, girişimcilik konusunda literatüre dayalı kavramsal çerçeve ortaya konulmaktadır. Çalışmada, girişimcilik konulu lisansüstü tezler içerik analizi kapsamında ele alınmıştır. Girişimcilik ile ilgili çalışmaların niceliksel ve niteliksel olarak artmasının, girişimciliğin gelişmesinde etkin olacağı öngörülmektedir.

Competitiveness, innovation, and constant change have become indispensable elements in today's transition from an industrial society to information society. Internet technologies, which are constantly renewing themselves depending on globalization, have increased the tendency of promotion, sharing, and following. Social networks have become an important part of our lives as a result of the continuous developments in internet-based applications and mobile devices in the world of fiber networks. FoMO emerges as an interdisciplinary phenomenon expressing individuals' awareness of virtual environment. Accordingly, individuals tend to be constantly aware of the changes around them through social media. Individuals, who constantly update and monitor with their mobile devices, spend a long time on social networks and create their own virtual worlds. The FoMO is closely related with psychological, behavioral, and social issues. In the research, in addition to the theoretical background of FoMO, measurement scales and managerial inferences for the organizations have been discussed.

Purpose: The primary aim of the research is to examine the branding and positioning of cities within the framework of competitiveness. In this regard, Silifke which is a district in Turkey has been analyzed in terms of competitiveness with its branding and positioning tendency. Theoretical framework: It is well-known fact that cities are in a competition with each other to attract entrepreneurs, tourists and citizens in today's globalized world. It is considered that the competitiveness of a city is largely determined by its branding and positioning features. Design/methodology/approach: The mixed research approach was preferred in the research process and data were obtained through a questionnaire using the Drugan’s (2014) Brand City Scale. In order to ensure the highest level of measurement quality, that encompasses reliability of the research, the simple random sampling method was preferred. The analysis process was carried out with the data from 476 participants. Findings: When the discourse analyses including qualitative data have been taken into account, it was found that the city differs with its sea, historical background, agricultural features, river and tourism opportunities. These features occur as competitors however; quantitative data analyses’ results identify that the city has only been regarded as a branding city with its agricultural production capacity. Research, Practical & Social implications: It is suggested that the future researches highlight the contributions by carrying out the comparative studies between the cities. Originality/value: The original aspect of the research is that there hasn’t been any research dealing with the city itself in terms of branding and positioning.
