Its association with nutrients is one of its main characteristics. Water resources have been depleted due to un-healthy urbanization, population growth, an increase in greenhouse gases, and industrialization. The balance between supply and demand is deteriorating day by day, and water scarcity reveals the necessity of alternative water resources. Therefore, in addition to the proper use of clean water resources, wastewater management is also important. This study includes the management and evaluation of the wastewater of Konya's central districts. For this purpose, the neighborhoods (Karatay, Meram, Selçuklu Districts) within the impact area of Konya Waste-water Treatment Plants, where the wastewater generated in Konya Province Centre is treated, are the target group. Data obtained from farmers who live in these neighborhoods and irrigate their lands with the water from the treatment plants were used. Thus, the wastewater price was calculated based on the value of agricultural products. In the calculations, wastewater pricing was made based on barley, wheat, and sunflower products commonly grown in the region, by which the treated wastewater price was determined. Accordingly, the wastewater cost was calculated as 0.18 USD/ton for barley production, 0.28 USD/ton for wheat production, and 0.21 USD/ton for sunflower production. Pricing and determining the economic value of water will ensure the balancing of supply and demand, and the efficient use or exploitation of scarce water and natural resources. When it comes to water prices in the classical sense, calculations are generally made based on operation, maintenance, and repair costs both worldwide and in Türkiye. However, this situation leads to not only the use of water, which is a natural asset, at a high price, but also causes uncontrolled use of natural resources. Calculations based on product value will ensure that they will lead to more efficient and fair use of water.

Among the policy's main goals were increasing women's labour force participation rate and boosting their representation in management positions. Therefore, womenenomics has failed to achieve its goals. Although women's labour force participation rate has increased since 1986 (reaching 66% in 2016), this increase has largely coincided with a rise in irregular (precarious) employment rates. Notwith-standing, womenomics, within a neoliberal framework, primarily aims for economic growth rather than genuine social equality. This top-down approach does not adequately address the various economic challenges and pressure to leave the workforce faced by women, particularly in low-skilled occupations. All in all, to create a sustainable impact for womenomics, it must go beyond mere participation metrics and target deep-rooted cultural and institutional trans-formations that ensure job quality and parental leave are accessible to both genders.

While tradition has long been discussed in the social sciences through ritual, symbol, narrative, and memory, it has often been treated as synonymous with organizational culture in organizational studies, which has overshadowed its analytical potential. The study adopts a conceptual review method, systematically analyzing key literature on culture and tradition to develop a comparative framework. Within this framework, the article distinguishes between culture and tradition, highlighting the structural components of organizational tradition and its functional dimensions. Accordingly, organizational tradition is positioned not as a sub-element of culture but as a distinctive institutional structure that shapes normative orders and identity formation processes. Future research in this field can contribute to a better understanding of the analytical potential of organizational traditions as well as their practical implications.

Indeed, income distribution began to deteriorate especially after the industrial revolution. In particular, the fact that a small minority of the world's population receives a large portion of the world's income and wealth is truly a matter that needs to be discussed. At this point, for the discussion to be healthier and reach a solution, it may be necessary for the majority to share the same view. However, due to changing perceptions, the importance of the income inequality problem may be perceived differently. From this perspective, the behavioural economics school emerges, which argues that our perceptions can be distorted by the influence of psychology in perceptual processes. The psychological effects put forward by this school are generally referred to as biases, and perhaps the most popular of these biases is the framing effect. According to this effect, when the same situation is presented differently, the perceived reality may differ. In this study, the perception of income inequality was examined in the context of the framing effect. To test this perception, a questionnaire was designed, and participants were asked to answer numerical and verbal questions with the same meaning. The results obtained from the study show that the way income inequality is conveyed leads to perceptual differences and that the use of the framing effect could be an important tool in minimising potential income inequality problems.

Therefore, it can be stated that the interaction of the organization with its strategic dimensions will be important. In this context, the main purpose of this research is to determine the relationship of basic strategic dimen-sions with the ISO 56001 Innovation Management System within the scope of the opinions of the practitioners. The survey created for the research was answered by 32 practitioners in the energy sector operating internationally, in the first ISO 56001 innovation management system certified business in the world, between January 2025 and March 2025. As a result of the re-search, four factors were formed: "basic strategic dimensions", "visionary, system, market and competition dimensions", "innovativeness, collaborations, reputation and image dimensions" and "behavioral dimensions". A high and moderate positive linear correlation was determined between the dimensions. According to the findings of the structural equation model, it was determined that there is a positive interaction between the basic strategic dimensions in orga-nizations and the ISO 56001 innovation management system strategic dimensions.

The motivational marketing activities for tobacco and tobacco products are based on themes such as freedom, social belonging and aspirational lifestyles, especially to attract young people. On the other hand, counter-marketing efforts for these products focus on public service announcements, legal measures and behavioral change campaigns, or a combination of all of these, to raise public awareness, thus attempting to reduce potential harmful effects from the very beginning. The study examines both-way marketing efforts on the subject with global and regional examples, and emphasizes graphical warnings, increased tax practices, digital promotion activities and other effective policies to prevent people from quitting or starting smoking. In the literature, studies on the subject reveal the critical role of comprehensive and multi-faceted approaches in reducing the use of tobacco and tobacco products and the health risks they may bring. In addition, this study emphasizes that there is a need for continuous innovation in anti-tobacco marketing activities, especially in today's world, in digital and social media areas, in order to counter the strategies developed by the tobacco industry for the sale of their products. The most basic conclusion obtained from the research is that the long-term prevention of tobacco product use will be achieved by the integrated action of the social and legal environment in a broader sense.

It systematically examines eight key components of the green economy: jobs, finance, innova-tion, infrastructure, energy, growth, taxation, and education/skills. These eight pillars were selected because they represent the domains most consistently highlighted across both academic studies and international policy frameworks, ensuring that the review captures the core dimensions of the green economy. For each component, the conceptual framework, practical implementations, and existing gaps in the literature are analyzed. Drawing on academic studies and policy documents from 2000 to 2025, the review explores the intersections of the green economy with critical issues such as just transition, digitalization, and social inclusion. The study emphasizes methodological diversity and measurement challenges. It also highlights opportunities for theoretical and policy integration, offering an original contribution that advances both scholarly understanding and practical guidance in green economy research.
