The researchers also used an observation technique for data collection in order to better analyse the existing case situation.FindingsAlthough the findings show similarities in the stakeholders' awareness of cryptocurrencies, they lack overall knowledge of BCTs. The responses of participants indicate a lack of knowledge regarding the use of BCTs, particularly the areas in which they can be used. North Cyprus' tourism and hotel sectors are significantly behind the curve in terms of adopting innovative technologies, due to traditional o...

The population of the study consists of the teacher candidates in the Faculty of Education Turkish Language Departments at the universities in North Cyprus. The sample consists of 82 teacher candidates who were selected according to convenience sampling in Faculty of Education Turkish Language Department in an a private University. The result of this study shows that there is a statistically meaningful differentiation Turkish Language Teacher candidates' perceived computer self-efficacy according to the gender and there is no meaningful differentiation according to the age, level of English and socioeconomic parameters.

The study employed a panel data analysis, Pooled Mean Group (PMG) and Cross-Sectionally Augmented Autoregressive Distributed Lag (CS-ARDL) estimators were utilized, for the period spans between the years 2008 and 2018. Both the borrowing (leverage) ratio and equity ratio used in the analysis cover short-term deposits and long-term deposits as a fundamental determinant variable on the capital structure. The main findings confirm that the deposit ratio has a positive relationship with the size of the bank. In other words, big banks use more foreign sources than small banks to use the tax shield advantage. At the same time, a percentage increase in bank size and liquidity ratio enhance the bank deposit rate by 0.0068% and 0.479%, respectively, in the long-run, while a percentage change in interest income coverage will reduce the bank deposit rate by 0.004% in the long-run....

The qualitative research methodology was applied, the theses were analyzed through the descriptive content analysis technique. Forty-eight graduate studies accessible from the national thesis center database of YÖK were included in the analysis. The theses were coded according to the date of publication, university, institute, department, degree level, the academic title of the thesis supervisor, thesis language, research methodology, research sub-areas. Graduate studies on DSS have increased in the last 15 years, and 42 studies have been conducted in the last 15 years. Selçuk University ranks first with the most studies on DSS. Half of the studies were carried out in the Institute of Science, and most of the studies that were produced in the universities were master's theses. Most supervisors were "Prof. Dr." titled faculty members. Most of the theses were written in Turkish, and primarily experimental studies were conducted. The business administration department produced most of the theses on DSS. Business and environment studies were the primary disciplines that produced theses. These were carried out in 7 institutes and 26 different departments. The findings of this study will guide other researchers who are willing to work in the decision support systems field.

On March 10 th 2020, the council of ministers in North Cyprus announced a lockdown and listed some restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus; schools and entertainment centres were closed, and children had to spend most of their day at home. This study aims to examine the use of mobile technology before and during the COVID-19 lockdown period by children aged three to six, based on parents' opinions. This is a descriptive study with a sample of 319 parents. Data and demographic information were collected with a questionnaire and analysed with SPSS (24.0). Comparing the duration of mobile technology device usage before the pandemic and during the lockdown period, an increase is evident, as expected. Of note, when compared to the pre-pandemic period, it is found that there is a decrease in the rate of mobile technology device usage for video viewing during the lockdown period. The findings also suggest that children mostly first experienced mobile technology devices in some way before 36 months of age. This study has determined that most children do not have their own mobile technology device.

This study group consists of 510 teacher candidates' (282 female, 228 male). The scale's validity and reliability were statistically tested by computing the KMO and Bartlett tests, and via an exploratory factor analysis, descriptive statistics, Cronbach's alpha, a confirmatory factor analysis. As a result of the exploratory factor analysis, a construct consisted of 20 items, and three factors have been attained. The confirmatory factor analysis results have shown the adjustment to the sample that the scale applied to is at a reasonable level. The ATUSAS's Cronbach's alpha internal consistency reliability coefficient has been found as .90 for factor 1, .89 for factor 2, .73 for factor 3, and .92 for the whole test. The results show that ATUSAS is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

It means that when a milestone of a contract is reached and the payments are made, it is registered in the blockchain so that neither party can manipulate the truth or validity or registration. All of these provide additional security, transparency and efficiency. In the higher education sector, although there are blockchain studies that are focusing mainly on the originality of documents and information, studies involving smart contracts are less common. In this study, a blockchain and smart contracts-based platform is presented as scholarship management model in order to create and store contracts between students and the Credit and Hostels Institution (CHI) in Turkey. Then it is confirmed on the Higher Education Information System of Turkey that the student fulfills the continuation requirements at the end of the academic year and automatically authorizes the scholarship. The proposed scholarship management model involves many parties and processes, provides transparency and document integrity, and the most importantly, provides authorization of those who are entitled to receive a scholarship by automated rules.

Also, it was determined that there is a medium level positive statistical difference between perceived computer self-efficacy and attitudes toward computer. conditions, psychological medium and perceived self-efficacy are among the factors affecting learning. Perceived self-efficacy is a concept in the scope of social learning theory. According to the social learning theory, the most basic motivating structure behind the behaviors of the individuals is perceived self-efficacy. The societies of nowadays require individuals who possess lifelong learning talents; in other words, individuals who can continuously renew their knowledge, comply with transformation, follow developments and can produce conscious knowledge. The basic outcome expected from the education institutes is to train self-learning individuals equipped with knowledge and talents, who can manipulate technology (Akkoyunlu & Orhan, 2003).

Çalışmada 287 üniversite öğrencisinden elde edilen veriler kullanılmıştır. Yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda sosyal ihtiyaç, sosyal etki, kullanım uygunluğu, bağımlılık ve gelecekteki satın alma davranışı olmak üzere 5 faktörlü yapı doğrulanmıştır. Sosyal ihtiyaç, sosyal etki, kullanım uygunluğu, bağımlılık ve satın alma davranışı değişkenleri için Cronbach’s Alpha güvenilirlik katsayıları sırasıyla 0,80; 0,60; 0,80; 0,77 ve 0,80’dir. Bu sonuçlar akıllı telefon bağımlılığı ve gelecekteki akıllı telefon satın alma davranışına etkisi ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye uyarlanmasının geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
