The study covers the followings; the pandemic’s timeline and related statistics, the pandemic’s effect on wealthy individuals, the pandemic’s effect on global poverty and the pandemic’s effect on society. Findings- Year 2020 can be considered as a year of global catastrophe. The unemployment rate and poverty have risen while world GDP declined by 4.3%. The previously depicted changes in the pattern of global wealth distribution have and will have numerous repercussions for the World’s social order as shown by a deterioration in the global democracy index of about 2%, s deterioration in the quality of education especially concentrated in less developed countries affecting 1.6 billion students, a rise in food insecurity in the developing world due to poverty and supply chain disruptions, a global decline in human rights especially due to lockdown restrictions, a global decline in gender equality with drastic rises in domestic violence, a global increase in popularity of xenophobic far right movements. Conclusion- Wealth inequality in the world rose drastically during the pandemic. UHNWI and billionaire wealth reached all time high representing a higher percentafe of global GDP than ever. Wealth inequality is forecasted to rise further in the coming years. As inequality increased, major social issues are expected to rise, e.g. democracy is in decline, extremism is on the rise, human rights are in decline, and food security is in decline. As inequality continues to rise, it is expected that social cohesion will continue to deteriorate for the globe. The number of billionaires increased from 2604 in 2018 to 3288 in 2020 while the wealth of billionaires accumulted to 11.4 trillion USD in 2020 from 8.6 trillion USD in 2018. The wealth of 10 richest people increased by 52% in the period of 2019-2020. As a final word, the poor got poorer and rich got richer during the pandemic.Yayın Digital banking during the COVID-19 era in Turkiye(Sivas Cumhuriyet Üniversitesi, 2023-31-12) Oğuz, Ahmet Bünyan; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim PınarThe Covid-19 pandemic which began in early 2020 in Wuhan, China and spread around the world, created a serious impact on personal and business life for all. While individuals tried to protect themselves from the pandemic and continue their lives, businesses also tried to cope with the change in individual consumer behaviour. This study analyses the digital banking usage trends in Türkiye, focusing on the Covid-19 pandemic period, between January 2020 and June 2022, under the precautions imposed by the government such as lock-downs, curfews and public access limitations to businesses, using available quarterly transaction and usage data on virtual credit cards, mail order and phone payments, contactless cards, domestic credit cards, number of credit and bank cards, digital banking, internet banking and mobile banking. Research findings suggest that while internet and digital banking usage increased, significant changes have been observed in contactless card, virtual credit card transactions indicating a shift in user preference in banking during the pandemic period either voluntarily or with the effects of the restrictions and intention to realize their transactions distancing themselves from the crowds. Further research analysing whether this shift is permanent or not is recommended.Yayın Satisfaction of higher education students with online learning during Covid-19(PressAcademia, 2023-07-30) Alyadum, Yasser Abdullah Mohsen; Falcıoğlu, PınarPurpose- With the advent of COVID-19 the world has faced a situation that has changed the course of education towards technology-based alternative solutions. High education institutions in Turkey rushed from the first moments to avoid the disruption of education process, and transformed into the online learning system. Current study aims to investigate the satisfaction level of high education students in İstanbul Turkey during COVID-19. Methodology- An online survey has been filled out by more than two hundred students. Findings- The results show that most of the variables related with the usage and usefulness of online system have statistically significant effects on students’ perceptions concerning satisfaction. It can be reported that the transformation during COVID-19 is satisfactory for all levels of higher education students. Conclusion- The study also tries to differentiate between the perceptions of undergraduate and postgraduate students and it has been found that post graduates are more satisfied in overall terms. Moreover, most demographic dimensions also have different influences on the undergraduate and postgraduate students’ perceptions. The results of the study lead to recommendations and suggestions related with future implementation of online education system useful for both educators and implementers.Yayın Medical device maintenance strategy for post pandemic: case on ventilators(IEOM Society International, 2022-06) Aksezer, Sezgin ÇağlarEquipment-demand of healthcare providing institutions increased drastically during the Covid-19 pandemic. While majority of the demand (also the most publicized) has been occurring for disposable products such as masks, gloves, gowns, sterilizers, and test kits; the demand for electronic devices also increased during the initial waves of the pandemic but dropped afterwards as it was satisfied by the manufacturers. Since devices like vital monitors, dialysis systems, and ventilators are not single use products, handling of such systems after acquisition has become an issue of operations management for healthcare professionals. Utilization of such devices seem to have a cyclic behavior correlated with pandemic waves (as the hospitalizations peak so the usage and vice versa) and tend to have a longterm decreasing trend as the Covid-19 pandemic transforms to epidemic. Ventilators have found extensive usage in the treatment of Covid-19 related patients for ICU and emergency admissions. Medical ventilator device provides mechanically simulated air into the lungs of patients who are completely unable to breathe by themselves or breathes but insufficient to carry the necessary oxygen. So, the total functionality is crucial and service readiness is imminent. Number of active ventilators in Turkey increased to 22.000 units by the first year of the pandemic. However, utilization ratio of ventilators dropped to 29.6% (as of March 17, 2022) from the heights of 55% observed in the winter of 2021. Because of such decline, devices have become idle or operational times have dropped significantly. Health institution under investigation is a full-service government hospital operating in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. There are currently 142 ventilators in the hospital with less than 35% utilization. Maintenance task is only carried out by manufacturer approved service providers and parts are supplied from abroad. Since the operator of devices is a non-profit government hospital, maintenance outsourcing is done by bidding with strict budget and usually under the pressure of currency exchange rates even after the maintenance contract is signed. Failure analyses indicate mean time to failure of devices has not changed significantly with respect to pre-pandemic operation. Periodic maintenance strategy that has long been adopted for such devices has been modified to consider cyclic operation, extended standby durations, and lead time of spare parts. Further proposals are under consideration for group maintenance involving multiple healthcare institutions.Yayın Correlation analysis between the community mobility and nighttime lights in the city of Istanbul, Turkey(2022) Çavdaroğlu, Gülsüm ÇiğdemThe COVID-19, which emerged in Wuhan, China, in 2019, has significantly affected people’s Daily lives, business environment, surrounding environment, and countries' economic and social conditions. This study aims to measure the correlation between community mobility changes in six different areas and nighttime lights in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. Nighttime light data used in the study was obtained from VIIRS Nighttime Day/Night Band Composites Version 1 using remote sensing methods via Google Earth Engine platform. Then the correlation between Nighttime light values and community mobility values was investigated. It has been observed that the correlation values have changed dramatically over the years. The most significant correlation values were observed for the year 2020. This is because 2020 is the year when the pandemic is most effective, and restrictions are at the highest level in Turkey. The increase in freedom in the following years caused a decrease in the correlation. When the correlation results covering the period of February 2020 - to January 2022 were examined, it was observed that there was no significant relationship between nighttime light values and Google Community Mobility Reports’ variables. Considering the correlation results for 2020, it was observed that there was a high negative correlation between nighttime light data and mobility trends for grocery and pharmacy, and mobility trends for places of work. In addition, there was a moderate negative correlation between nighttime light data and mobility trends for retail and recreation, and a moderate positive correlation between nighttime light and mobility trends for places of residence. When the correlation values of 2021 and the correlation values of the period 2021-2022 were examined, no significant relationship was observed.Yayın Impact of COVID-19 on people-processing vs. information-processing services: case of food service and banking industries(Springer Nature, 2021) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, MehmetAlthough COVID-19 pandemic is a health crisis, it has and will continue to have serious repercussions on business activities and the global economy, as well as a strong societal impact. This chapter focuses on comparing and contrasting the banking services sector and the food service industry in Turkey in relation to how these industries were impacted by and responded to the crisis caused by COVID-19 pandemic. Banking services are information-processing services and the food service business for the most part is people-processing. The distinction is that informationprocessing services can be provided both face-to-face in a high-contact fashion, and online/through the phone in an untact fashion. People-processing services, however, are mostly high-contact services where the person receiving the service must be present when the service is provided (Lovelock in Journal of Marketing 47: 9–20, 1983). Naturally, this distinction creates a difference in the response of these two different types of services to the COVID-19 crisis. This chapter analyzes the economic and social developments during the COVID-19 outbreak in Turkey along with current and expected future action steps by the government and NGOs. Findings suggest that innovative products, market-linking capabilities and investment in digitalization and trust building activities are effective in dealing with the new normal.
