This paper explores the under-researched area of how emerging market dynamics affect brands that take a sociopolitical stance. Our purpose is to gain a deeper understanding of brand activism in emerging markets and its impact on society and brands in the light of the Scandinavian Institutionalism Theory that deals with the changing meanings of ideas during their transition from one place to another. We have conducted in-depth interviews and alternated between literature reviews. Qualitative thematic analysis is used to comprehend the position of brand activism in emerging markets and present insights for future research. From a macro perspective, our insights propose a taxonomy of social impact for brand activism in emerging markets. This study suggests a dynamic and interactive process in which brand activism ideas and practices are circulated across national boundaries and institutional orders, shifting from generalized notions to embedded practices with local meanings.

This study examines the news content of Turkish digital-native news websites, namely Diken, Gazete Duvar, Kısa Dalga, and T24. Employing both quantitative and qualitative content analysis approaches, the study initially investigates the utilization of sources and framing techniques within the news articles presented on these platforms. The findings underscore the imperative of embracing reporter-driven journalism to amplify the voices of disadvantaged individuals and groups and foster an alternative news agenda. Furthermore, while these websites prominently exhibit a critical framing towards the government and official entities, a distinguishing feature is adopting a balanced language, rather than one showing positive bias, when reporting on the opposition and associated individuals and institutions.

This study aims to examine the effectiveness of the psycho-education group-based program aimed at improving the social problem-solving skills of female prisoners. The applied program is adopted by Çekici & Güçray (2012) based on the five-stage approach model in social problem-solving (D'zurilla & Nezu, 2007; Nezu et al., 2007). The research is in the semi-experimental design, and one of the types of the experimental design, "real experimental model with pretest-posttest control group" was used. The implementation was carried out with 36 convicts in Karataş Prison in Adana province in the Women's Open Penal Institution. Since the sample did not show a normal distribution, it was evaluated by the Wilcoxon Signed Rows Test, one of the non-parametric analysis methods used to compare the difference between the scores of the two sets of measurements. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the use of a positive orientation-rational problem-solving style to the problem, which is a positive coping style, increased social problem-solving skills in female convicts who participated in social problem-solving group practices, and their use of inattentive and avoidant styles, which are negative orientation to the problem and negative coping styles, decreased. This did not change in the results of the monitoring measurement in which the persistence of the effect was evaluated. The findings were interpreted in light of the literature data.
本研究旨在探讨以团体为基础的心理教育计划在提高女囚犯社会问题解决能力方面的有效性。应用程序采用Çekici &g ray(2012)基于社会问题解决的五阶段方法模型(D'zurilla &Nezu, 2007;Nezu et al.， 2007)。本研究采用半实验设计，实验设计的类型之一是“真实实验模型加前测后测对照组”。在阿达纳省妇女公开刑罚机构的卡拉塔卡伊监狱对36名囚犯实施了这项措施。由于样本不显示正态分布，因此通过Wilcoxon Signed Rows Test进行评估，这是一种用于比较两组测量值之间分数差异的非参数分析方法。结果发现，参与社会问题解决小组实践的女性罪犯使用积极应对方式——积极取向-理性解决问题的方式提高了她们的社会问题解决能力，而使用不注意和回避方式——消极应对方式和消极解决问题的方式则降低了她们的社会问题解决能力。这在监测测量的结果中没有改变，其中评估了效果的持久性。根据文献资料对研究结果进行了解释。

This research was conducted with the aim of examining the perspectives of Roma women on gender equality within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The study was designed based on the phenomenological approach, which is a qualitative research method. The study group was limited to ten Roma women residing in Mersin. The data for the research were obtained through individual in-depth interviews. In the analysis of the data, the content analysis technique was used. As a result of content analysis, the research findings were examined by forming themes within the sub-goals set for 'Gender Equality,' one of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These themes include: (1) Education, (2) Discrimination against women and girls, (3) Domestic violence, (4) Early or forced marriage, (5) Economic and social opportunity equality (6) Reproductive health and rights. According to the research findings, Roma community often adheres to traditional views, Roma women experience gender inequality, lack access to quality education, lack economic and social opportunities, and are not sufficiently involved in public spaces and the workforce. It has been revealed that Roma women face discrimination due to both their ethnic origin and gender, which causes double disadvantage in the context of intersectionality.

The aim of this paper is to examine the relationship between university students' online learning self-efficacy and academic self-efficacy using structural equation modeling and to create a statistically significant model for online learning self-efficacy. In the study, the cross-sectional survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The sample of the study consists of 322 university students studying in various programs and at different grade levels in the faculty of education in the 2022-2023 academic year. Demographic information form, academic self-efficacy scale, student’s engagement scale in online learning environments, online learning systems acceptance scale and online learning self-efficacy scale were used as data collection tools. The results obtained from the study indicated that academic self-efficacy had a positive and significant effect on student’s engagement in online learning environments and online learning systems acceptance, while student’s engagement in online learning environments and online learning systems acceptance had a positive and significant effect on online learning self-efficacy. In addition, academic self-efficacy was a stronger predictor for student’s engagement in online learning environments, and student’s engagement in online learning environments was a stronger predictor for online learning self-efficacy.
