Article Citation - WoS: 3Evaluation of Students' Opinions Regarding Distance Learning Practices in Turkish Universities During the Covid-19 Pandemic(Tuba-turkish Acad Sciences, 2021) Isik, Oguz; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Tekin, Perihan Senel; Tosun, Nurperihan; Zekioglu, AysuThe purpose of this study is to identify hether students at Turkish universities are having difficulties in the distance learning process and to reveal their opinions regarding the system. Using a cross-cultural survey design, data were collected from 5052 students. Based on the collected data, 58.5% of the students have asynchronous distance learning classes in their universities. Access to distance learning classes is one of the problems, and it is attributed to computers, internet, and connectivity issues as well as with starting the lessons too early or late. A majority of participants (73.7%) found class materials uploaded by lecturers to distance learning systems to be sufficient or partially sufficient, and 36.7% stated that they had problems accessing resources regarding their homework. Students' satisfaction level with the distance learning system scored 4.4 out of 10. According to the evaluation regarding whether the level of satisfaction of participants varied across the type of university, the satisfaction level of students in public universities is generally low (score of 4.3 out of 10) compared to satisfaction in foundation universities (4.9 out of 10).Article Bibliometric Analysis of Authors Contributing to the Development of Health Management and Studies Published in WOS in the Field of Health Management(Sage Publications India Pvt Ltd, 2025) Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Tas, Merve Ozzeybek; Seyhan, Firat; Younis, Mustafa Z.In this study, scientific publications on the management of health institutions and health services, which are becoming increasingly important both in the country and in the world agenda, have been analysed, and it is aimed to make a comprehensive determination by analysing the annual publication amounts, most cited works, most relevant and influential source analysis, source co-citation network analysis, most relevant and influential author analysis, cooperation between authors analysis, author co-citation network analysis, and country's scientific production map and cooperation analysis. The result of the analysis showed that 3,940 article-type documents were published from 1,466 different sources between 1977 and 2021. The country that published the highest number of articles in the field of study was the USA, with 3,405 articles. In the analysis of the most relevant and influential sources, the most relevant source was found as 'Health Policy', which has published 80 articles since its first publication in 1986. The most relevant author in the study field was Yasumura who published 63 articles in total and was found to be one of the most influential authors in the study field. This study is evaluated to provide a macroscopic perspective for all stakeholders interested in the subject and those involved in the health system by providing a holistic perspective.Article Analyzing the Criteria Affecting Transition To Airplane by Comparing Different Methods(Mehmet Akif Ersoy Univ, 2022) Reyhanoglu, Izay; Tengilimoglu, DilaverThis study, using the multi-vehicle approach, discusses the criteria affecting the transition from alternative transportation modes (car, train, bus) to air transportation between city pairs that neither have a hub status nor non-stop flights between them. If these criteria change, the demand for air transportation will increase. For this purpose, a survey was conducted in the provinces of Kayseri and Bursa, which are among the important trade, industry, and tourism centers in Turkey, in the course of three months between January and March, 2018. Logistic regression, the artificial neural network model, and clustering analyses were applied to the data compiled from questionnaires responded to by 501 individuals in Kayseri and 453 individuals in Bursa. According to the empirical findings, it was concluded that the most significant criteria in the transition to air transportation according to all three methods are the cost of travel/ticket price and non-stop flight. Additionally, it was observed that the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) model made more accurate predictions compared to others. This study is important since it compares three different methods for the purpose of criteria determination concerning the choice of transportation modes.Article Mapping the Literature on Thermal Tourism: A Bibliometric and Content Analysis(Conscientia Beam, 2025) Alqaifi, Faten; Tengilimoglu, Dilaver; Aras, Ilknur ArslanThis study explores and maps the existing literature on thermal tourism to provide comprehensive insights and inform future research directions. The research design is based on a bibliometric analysis of 48 documents published between 2013 and 2023 and indexed in the Web of Science database. Data were processed and visualized using Microsoft Excel and Bibliometrix, followed by a content analysis of 42 English-language articles to capture thematic developments in the field. The findings indicate that, despite a temporary decline during the COVID-19 pandemic, publications on thermal tourism have shown strong growth and recovery, with an annual growth rate of 46.65%. The most significant contributions originated from Portugal, China, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, and Japan, with research disseminated across 37 journals. Four central themes were identified: (1) tourist behaviors and satisfaction, (2) demand and motivations, (3) quality and resource management, and (4) strategic and sustainable development. Among these, tourist behaviors and satisfaction emerged as the most prominent research area, representing 38.10% of the analyzed literature. This paper addresses a gap in the literature by mapping the knowledge landscape in the relatively underexplored field of thermal tourism, highlighting its growth potential and proposing a future research agenda. The practical implications suggest that recognizing these trends and themes can help policymakers, industry stakeholders, and academics develop strategies to enhance sustainable practices and expand opportunities in thermal tourism.
