The Europeanization process has a considerable impact on the fundamental rights within the candidate and member countries. Within this framework, reforms on union rights in the domestic realm have been one of the significant determinants of Europeanization. Turkey’s harmonization process with the European Union (EU) acquis started in 1999 with Helsinki Summit. In this process, it seems to be essential to make more reforms on union rights. Considering Copenhagen criteria, the problems dealing with this issue pose a serious obstacle to the membership process of Turkey. On the other hand, Croatia which became a candidate country in 2004 and was granted the membership status in 2013, passed through a rapid harmonization process on union rights. The paper is based on the Europeanization literature in defining union rights. It is aimed to find answers to the questions of which steps were taken in Turkey and Croatia within the context of freedom of association and social dialogue, why Croatia came a long way in those matters although the country started negotiations with the EU much later than Turkey.

Healthcare institutions are systems open to change in terms of structure. Hence, change becomes inevitable in these institutions. They also have to incorporate the human resources who will adapt to this change. Therefore the healthcare professionals serving at these institutions must be away from inertia. Patient safety is one of the fundamental principles of health care sector. Aim of this paper to examined the relationship of inertia statuses of the healthcare professionals with patient safety. We hope that this paper will help for future study in this area. Inertia has the meanings such as laziness, phlegm, crestfallenness, slowness, clumsiness in daily language. Hence, we confront inertia as a term which affects the individuals and ultimately the patients. However, there are several reasons which make it hard for the enterprises to adapt to the changes, preclude them from achieving success and surviving at organizational and managerial level, reduce performance and efficiency of the organizations, and perhaps the most important one among such reasons is “inertia”. In the healthcare services, the term of patient safety has entered among the leading studies, first, as required by the understanding of human, in order not to harm the patient. The term of patient safety covers also hospital management and the entire measures taken by the employees at the hospital. Healthcare institutions carrying out efforts toward becoming accredited shed light on the problematic areas in terms of healthcare through the International Patient Safety Targets, and help ensuring safety of the system in itself. These targets are determination of the patient identity correctly, improvement of the effective communication, improvement of safety of high-risk pharmaceuticals, securing correct party, correct procedure, correct patient surgery, reducing the infection risks associated with the healthcare services, reducing the risk of injury of the patients as a result of the falling events. In line with these targets, efforts need to be carried out in order to increase awareness of healthcare professionals through the patient safety applications that are recommended to be prepared at the healthcare institutions. The slowness, crestfallenness and burnout statuses of action abilities of the healthcare professionals are likely to lead to problems in realizing the actions within the framework of the patient safety. Because healthcare sector is has a rapidly changing and developing structure. With respect to adapting to change and development, great duties fall to the healthcare professionals for the sake of the patient’s right to receive care safely. Both healthcare professionals and healthcare institutions must make arrangements with respect to being incorporated in a system which keeps them away from inertia. Because the results led by clumsiness and negligence damage to patient safety.

The impacts of recent advances in technology on Turkish language have been seen obviously in the fields of computer, electric and electronics. Additionally, latest developments in information and communication technologies with the appearance of the Internet have affected Turkish in the areas of commerce, education and entertainment. As the rapid advancements in ICTs are usually discovered by developed countries, those reveal the need for new words in Turkish. The spread of the foreign originated terms impair the tradition of the Turkish language and its image. For instance, the simplest negative impact of foreign words can be seen on the Turkish vowel harmony. Since the use of the foreign originated words in Turkish language impairs both the Turkish spelling and utterance, the use of the equivalence of the foreign terms has been perceived as an important solution. Despite of this solution, it is not possible for Turkish speakers and writers to analyse the origins of the words that they select. In particular, the publications such as journals, papers, reports are evident in this case. Therefore, to alleviate the negative impacts of foreign words, a relational database design is essential. Upon the execution of this design, the origin of the words and their equivalences in papers, journals and reports can be identified with ease by Turkish’s speakers and its writers and those words can be swapped with their equivalences in Turkish language to alleviate the impact of foreign languages on Turkish prior to the press of journals and reports.

Victorian Era is characterized with the power men held in the society. Patriarchal social structure always tended not to let women take positions in the workplace, and social organizations. Victorian England didn’t take the women, their education, attitudes and feelings into consideration. The women were only the docile servers at home for Victorian men. However, some intellectual women and male writers wrote striking novels and plays to attract the public and authorities’ attention to this mere discrimination. Oscar Wilde was one of those who held this issue. He could affect the public opinion with his delightful and satirizing plays. In this study, Oscar Wilde’s well-known play, Importance of Being Ernest was analyzed in terms of feminist point of view. The male and female characters of the play, the patriarchal society, attitudes of characters towards marriage were examined under the light of the approaches of some feminist philosophers, such as Simone de Beavoir, Kate Millet, Susan Bordo and Betty Friedan.
