However, he thought that he would not be able to carry out an expression that would always continue to be validated with this method after a while as he draws what he wants to tell. For this reason, he needed writing in order to share the meanings and develop the known symbols. It has allocated necessary liaison channels to make information and culture transfer permanent. One of these channels is literature which has gained momentum since saying was converted into writing by drawing. Caricature has established a network of intimate and collaborate work in literature to be accepted by mass before it becomes a branch of graphic arts. At least this is true for Turkish caricature. Because the artists who use the visual language want to build their work on a solid foundation, they have gone to benefit from different disciplines in this direction. The caricature which prevails in the west and is benefited from its possibilities as much as possible, has continued its life as a part of literature in Turkey. He then began to create his own system. However, the caricature did not allow the breaking of the common bond between him and the literature. The publication we examined is one of the most powerful and intense examples of this connection. The "Akbaba” Magazine has been has been home to literature masters, caricaturists, drawing masters throughout the years. There are thousands caricatures published on the pages of the magazine on the subject of caricature and literature. However we have deemed it appropriate to include only portrait of the literature figures because of the space of our workplace and the volume of the essay. Again, when the volume of the essay is considered, it is not possible to present all the portraits of literature figures in “Akbaba” and for this reason we examined some of the portraits of the writers published in the magazine.

As a result, research findings in the social sciences are rather subjective evaluations. To avoid the mistakes and misleading of subjective assessments different type of analytical methods are used in the social researches. Many researches in social sciences are classified as explanatory because it attempts to clarify why and how there is a relationship between two aspects of a situation or phenomenon. The exploratory research is carried out to investigate the possibilities of undertaking a particular research study which is also called as ‘feasibility’ or ‘pilot’ study. The SWOT method is commonly used in these types of research studies. The methodology of this study is based on the review of SWOT method applications in research and supported with a survey to define missing points and deficiencies in the existing master and doctorate theses. Then possible techniques to improve application of SWOT method in research studies are discussed and results are introduced. The outcome of study may provide useful information for the researchers who prefer use of SWOT method in their studies. This study may lead further studies on improvement of effective use of the research methods which may increase quality of research studies.

The pressure, especially for women who do not have children, causes psychosocial problems and their quality of life to fall. This shows us that a biological problem causes psychosocial problems in some socio-cultural areas. Women who are the cause of social pressure and who are practitioners are again women. Both genders are exposed to social pressure, but society gives women the duty to camouflage male-induced infertility and thus attracts women to the real burden. The social pressure applied to children's ownership also affects other related persons, starting with the problem. Nevertheless, sharing problems with the family and relatives of pregnant women leaves infertile people without support. In this study, sociocultural effects of infertility were investigated and solutions were proposed to solve the problems experienced in the process.
