Violence against women is a significant sociological problem that negatively affects society. Although violence against women is widespread worldwide, the help-seeking behavior of women exposed to violence remains underdeveloped. In this study conducted in Turkey, the formal help-seeking behavior of women exposed to violence was studied according to sociodemographic factors. Data were obtained from surveys on domestic violence against women from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT), which was held in 2008 and 2014. Chi-square and binary logistic regression analyses are used in this study. The dependent variable is determined as whether women who had experienced violence sought help from formal institutions. In order to explain the dependent variable, education, age group, region, and sociodemographic variables are used. According to the results, as the education level of women exposed to violence increases, help-seeking behavior through official means also increases. In addition, women with a personal income are more likely to seek formal help than those without, and the development of the sociocultural region inhabited affects the formal help-seeking behavior of women exposed to violence. Between 2008 and 2014, legal regulations on women’s rights in Turkey were seen to positively affect formal help-seeking behavior. Although the formal help-seeking behavior of women subjected to violence in 2014 increased significantly compared to 2008, this improvement is not sufficient.

Efforts to improve supply chain management processes, which have gained importance since the '90s, have become an increasingly important phenomenon in today's competitive business life. Particularly due to recent developments, attention has turned to the health sector and improvement efforts in this sector. Supplier selection, which is the basic criterion of supply chain management, and the criteria that determine these choices are among the important issues that draw attention. In today's world where costs are reflected in prices and quality and service performance affect competition, knowing the primary criteria of pharmacies in the selection of suppliers in the health sector will guide both the actors who play a role in the sectoral dynamics and the companies. For this reason, by drawing attention to the issue of supplier selection of pharmacies, Fuzzy DEMATEL was used as a research method and supplier selection criteria of pharmacies were evaluated.

Electric energy is very important both technologically and economically in today's countries. Countries can generate and consume more energy according to their level of development and the resources they have. In the literature, it is estimated in parallel with the development of countries; there will also be an increase in electrical energy generation and consumption. Similarly, in economies that generate and consume more electricity, it is assumed that this will affect their economic growth. But these assumptions need to be calculated econometrically. This study has been prepared for this purpose. In this study, the relationship between electricity generation, electricity consumption, and economic growth in Turkey was analyzed. In the analysis conducted for the period 1975-2019, the Toda-Yamamoto causality test method was preferred as the method. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that there is a causal relationship from electricity consumption and electricity generation to economic growth, valid for the period 1975-2019 in Turkey.
