Abstract: This study examines whether energy shocks are permanent or temporary in the 15 countries with the highest natural gas consumption, according to the BP World Energy Statistics Report. The analysis was carried out with the help of annual data of these 15 countries between 1970-2021. The stationarity of countries' natural gas consumption was analyzed with the panel unit root test, which allows smooth transitions as well as sharp structural breaks, developed by Bahmani-Oskooee et al. (2014) with the Fourier methodology. According to econometric findings, it has been determined that natural gas consumption is not stationary in Germany, Argentina, France, Iran, Japan and Mexico. While possible energy shocks have permanent effects in these countries, energy consumption tends to return to trend in the other 9 countries of the panel. Another result obtained from the analysis shows that the overall panel has stationary properties. The study has comprehensive data on energy consumption, which is indispensable in line with the sustainable growth and development goals of the global world.

With industrialization and urbanization, the traditional extended family has been replaced by the nuclear family. This has led to a weakening of the traditional function of the family in providing care in old age and its replacement by professional elderly care service institutions such as nursing homes and hospices. This study focuses on testing the relationship between the modernization of the economic structure and the increase in non-family care options for elderly care. The correlation between economic indicators and provincial ranking in topic and term search trends was test with the data obtained from Google trends. Spearman and Kendall rank correlation analyses were used. The findings show that, in general, search trends for elderly care and social services are decreasing in provinces where agriculture is dominant, while these searches are increasing as the modern economy, represented by non-agricultural activities, becomes dominant. It also shows that the inadequacy in public service provision is negatively correlated with the increase in the trend of elderly care and social service seeking. Again, there is a statistically significant and negative correlation between the increase in GDP per capita and the trend in the search for elderly care and social services. In term-based searches, it is seen that the findings in the subject-based searches are not supported in nursing home and nursing home searches. Among the components of GDP by branches of activity other than agriculture, forestry and fishing, there is a negative correlation between the search trend for the terms nursing home and care home and a positive correlation with public services. This suggests that, in terms of elderly care in Turkish society, families are not very willing to entrust their elderly parents to institutions such as nursing homes and care homes, that they are forced to do so as the income level decreases, and that institutional care tends to increase in places where the state's public services are intensive. However, despite the reluctance to direct elderly care to non-family institutions, there is also a structure in which there are many support options for elderly care support, including financial payments and disability benefits. Here, the correlation findings between elderly care and social service screenings and economic structure under this topic support that, in general, families demand support in providing care for their elderly parents, while the tendency to leave them in institutional care remains weak. Of course, the limitations of the study are limited to two topics and two term trends, and there is a need for further studies questioning various aspects of this issue. The preliminary findings of the study, which was conducted from the perspective of providing evidence from the Turkish society on the subject, also constitute a limitation of the study.

Hospitals, which are an important part of the health sector, are organizations in a matrix structure that include medical services, patient care services, preventive health services, hotel management and facility services, socio-psychological consultancy, administrative and financial transactions. Effective communication and information sharing ensure the success of this matrix structure. Failure to ensure the flow of information between departments in hospitals results in the failure to fulfill the needs of patients correctly and on time, and the implementation of independent practices by the members of the organization. This situation, which jeopardizes patient and employee safety, also causes a decrease in satisfaction. The aim of this study is to try to reveal the mediator role of leader-member interaction in the effect of organizational knowledge sharing on organizational blindness of 489 health workers working in different tasks of the chain hospital, with the method of structural equation modeling. The results of the study showed that the leader-member interaction has a mediating role between knowledge sharing and organizational blindness behavior. It has been determined that providing high quality leader-member interaction increases knowledge sharing and reduces organizational blindness.

Cognitive flexibility enables healthcare professionals to adapt to these rapidly changing conditions, quickly analyze complex problems and produce effective solutions. Cognitive flexibility helps employees be more resilient in the face of difficulties and cope with stress more effectively, which positively affects job performance by increasing job satisfaction and productivity. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of cognitive flexibility on job performance for healthcare personnel working in different positions in private and public hospitals serving in Istanbul. Analyzes were carried out for a total of 490 healthcare workers. As a result of the correlation analysis, a positive and significant correlation was obtained between the cognitive flexibility dimension and job performance at a rate of 47.9% (r = 0.479, p < 0.01). As a result of the regression analysis, the perception of cognitive flexibility was 1 unit when the perception of job performance increases, 0.622 unit will increase. As a result, cognitive flexibility is a concept that has positive effects on work performance.
