The main objective of this study is to investigate how printeries in Ankara understand the new risks brought by pandemic and how they make sense of them. In this study, we used data collected from 20 top managers or owners of printeries located in Ankara. By using the qualitative research design, we observed how printeries approach risks and problems and how they try to make sense of them. Printeries make sense of the new risks through the existing risks. Health risks are overshadowed by the existing financial risks. Financial problems and risks are heavily caused by the constant decrease in the value of Turkish Lira that started before the pandemic. Long lasting financial depression and intense rivalry make it difficult for printeries to take precautions against the risks of pandemic.

Cengizci, Süleyman; Cengizci, Aslıhan Dursun; Uğur, Ömür (2021-01-01)
In this study, a mathematical model for simulating the human-to-human transmission of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is presented for Turkey’s data. For this purpose, the total population is classified into eight epidemiological compartments, including the super-spreaders. The local stability and sensitivity analysis in terms of the model parameters are discussed, and the basic reproduction number, R0, is derived. The system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations is solved by using the Galer...
