    Abstract In this research, we investigated the protection motivators and precautionary behaviors against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the associations between them. To do this, we developed two original scales, collected data (2783 responses) using an online survey, after removing the responses (319), which were filled in incompletely or incorrectly in the questionnaire, we obtained 2464 participants covering the aged 18+ population in Turkey. Based on random sampling, our sample complies with these ratios and generally reflects the aged 18+ population of Turkey. We confirmed the psychometrical validity and reliability of our two scales using the collected data. Herewith, we found that perceived susceptibility of COVID-19 infection is very high, perceived severity of COVID-19 is medium, COVID-19 related information seeking is high, beliefs on precautions' efficacy is high and also the practice of precautionary behaviors is high. Our research depicts that all protection motivators significantly are related with the practice of precautionary behaviors (routine and leisure). However, with the only exception of perceived severity of COVID-19 is not related with precautionary behaviors (routine). Besides, we saw that females' average in all variables is significantly higher than males and some variables are sensitive to age, education level, marital status and the number of children. We believe that the findings provide essential inputs for authorities in establishing public health policies against the present pandemic and likely ones in the future.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the effects of high-intensity plyometric training (HIPT) on some parameters in elite soccer players in the U17. Volunteer soccer players were randomly divided into two groups according to their positions: the regular training (RT) group (age: 16.71 ± 0.47 years; stature: 163.46 ± 3.31 cm; body weight: 61.04 ± 1.59 kg) and the HIPT group (age: 16.64 ± 0.50 years; stature: 165.60 ± 3.03 cm; body weight: 59.76 ± 1.92 kg), and each group included five defenders, five midfielders, and four attackers. While the RT group did only routine soccer training, the HIPT group performed high-intensity plyometric training three days a week in addition to routine soccer training. In the study, body weight, stature, sprint (10 m, 30 m, and 40 m), jump (standing long jump, right and left-limb triple hop) and 5-0-5 change of direction speed test measurements of the soccer players were taken. Skewness and Kurtosis values obtained from the pre-test and post-test measurements were calculated to test whether the normality assumption of the study was met. A mixed measure two-way ANOVA test was used to determine the difference between the pre-test and post-test. The significance was set as p < 0.05. The results indicated that 8-week high- intensity plyometric training provided more improvement in measured performance parameters than routine soccer training. As a result, when the data obtained is examined, it can be said that HIPT had better values in sprint, jump, and change of direction parameters, so plyometric training was more beneficial for anaerobic parameters than routine soccer training in children. It is recommended that the trainers make their plans considering these results.

    Abstract Prolonging non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) used in the control of pandemics can cause a devastating effect on the overall economic and social welfare levels. Therefore, policymakers are facing a difficult duty in terms of implementing economically and socially sustainable and acceptable measures. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of NPIs implemented to control the COVID-19 pandemic. To this end, eight NPI measures were analysed, and their effects on the number of cases were investigated for France, Spain, China, and South Korea. In the study, the treatment effect of these mechanisms on the daily increase rate of the total number of cases during a certain period was analysed by using logarithmic linear regression with a dummy variables model. The findings indicate that the measures are effective against the spread of the pandemic at different levels. The findings also suggest that the most effective measure in decreasing the number of cases is workplace closure. An analysis comparing the effectiveness of countrywide measures and regional measures shows that school closing is the most effective measure to decrease the number of cases when implemented countrywide as opposed to regional implementation.

    Abstract Objectives: National interpersonal distance preference is considered a cultural characteristic. Interpersonal distance is critical for the spread dynamics of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). COVID-19's spread trend shows various characteristics in different countries. We believe that 1 of the factors influencing this variation could be national interpersonal distance preference.
    Methods: We used regression analysis based on data of national interpersonal distance preferences (social, personal, and intimate) presented by Sorokowska et al. and COVID-19 rate of spread data for 40 different countries that were calculated using Our World in Data's data.
    Results: National interpersonal distance preferences, with its 3 dimensions, significantly influence the rate of spread of COVID-19 in countries.
    Conclusion: Understanding the relation between national interpersonal distance preference and spread of COVID-19 might be very useful information in decision-making processes of individuals, societies, and governments to develop culturally well-suited counter-pandemic policies, strategies, and procedures during the COVID-19 pandemic or any epidemic or pandemic threats in the future, instead of standard fit-to-all strategies.

    Abstract In recent years, countries have been fighting with increasing momentum against outbreaks. This struggle requires the effective implementation of several measures that are required in medical science. However, the cultural characteristics of each society prevent these measures from being applied in the same way globally. One area in which social scientists have not applied much effort is observing the impact of countries' cultural characteristics in the fight against outbreaks. Therefore, this study aims to determine whether cultural differences among countries have an impact on their fight against outbreaks. This study uses the COVID-19 pandemic's total cases and selected European countries' cultural dimension scores as data. Due to the differences in the measurement units of cultural and outbreak variables, a stepwise multiple logarithmic regression analysis is preferred to select the proper regression model. The results have shown that power distance has a significant and negative effect on the increase rate of the total COVID-19 cases per million (IRTCCPM). In addition, the results have demonstrated that both individualism and indulgence have significant and positive effects on IRTCCPM, at the 95 % confidence level. However, the hypotheses concerning the impacts of masculinity, uncertainty avoidance, and long-term orientation on the IRTCCPM are rejected at the α = 0.05 level. In light of the findings of this study, it can be asserted that countries act in harmony with their cultural characteristics in the formal or informal practices of their fight against outbreaks. The contributions of the study can be discussed in academic and practical fields.

    Abstract İş kazaları tüm dünyada olduğu gibi ülkemizde de hem ekonomik hem de yönetsel açıdan birçok olumsuz sonucu beraberinde getirmektedir. Özellikle ölümle sonuçlanan iş kazalarının sebeplerini ortaya koymada çalışanların yaş faktörünün etkisi olabileceği değerlendirilmektedir. Çünkü yapılan araştırmalar bireylerin yaşlanma ile birlikte birçok fiziksel ve bilişsel yetenek kaybına maruz kaldıklarını ortaya koymaktadır. Hem fiziksel hem de bilişsel yetenek kayıplarına uğrayan iş görenin reaksiyon zamanı da anlamlı bir şekilde uzamaktadır. Genel anlamda yaşlanma ile birlikte algı ve hareket yeteneği yavaşlayan iş görenin hem kazaya sebep olma ihtimali artmakta hem de karşılaşılan kaza durumlarında kendini kurtarabilme veya kazayı önleyecek tedbiri zamanında alabilme yeteneği azalmaktadır. Buradan hareketle yaşlanmanın iş kazaları ve iş kazası sonucu ölümler üzerinde etkisi olabileceği değerlendirilmektedir. Bu çalışmada son yıllarda ülkemizde meydana gelen iş kazaları sonucu ölümlerin yaş faktöründen ne ölçüde etkilendiği irdelenmiş ve iki değişken arasında anlamlı ve doğrusal olmayan (kuadratik) bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Bu ilişkiye göre 40-44 yaş aralığına kadar iş kazası sonucu ölüm riski artmakta, bu yaş aralığından sonra tedricen azalmaktadır. ENGLISH Occupational accidents lead bad consequences in terms of economics and management for Turkey like other countries in the world. In particular, deaths caused by occupational accidents are thought to be related with the age of employees since experiments show that many physiological and cognitive aspects are negatively and significantly sensitive to age of employees. Decreased physiological and cognitive capacity averts employee from saving himself/herself from accidents and hinders him/her to take preventive actions. It is claimed that age has an impact on occupational accident related deaths. In this study, the influence of age factor on deaths caused by occupational accidents in Turkey is explored. A significant and non-linear relationship is found between these two variables. According to this association, risk of death caused by occupational accidents increases until the age interval of 40-44 years then it decreases gradually.

    Abstract Bu çalışmada iş performansına olumlu etkileri olduğu düşünülen psikolojik güçlendirme ve örgütsel bağlılık kavramları ele alınmıştır. TRB-2 Bölgesinde (Van, Hakkâri, Bitlis, Muş) kamuda eğitim sektöründe çalışanların katılımıyla (n=437) yapılan analizler neticesinde psikolojik güçlendirme boyutlarının (anlam, yetkinlik, etki, özerklik) iş performansını pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca örgütsel bağlılığın iş performansını pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı olarak etkilediği görülmüştür. Örgütsel bağlılığın, psikolojik güçlendirmenin alt boyutlarıyla iş performansı arasındaki ilişkide aracılık rolü oynadığı belirlenmiştir.
