Leadership, branding, and firm’s morale are also impacted by aesthetic and ethical decisions, so iterating on these points will allow us to better understand why businesses make the interesting aesthetic choices that they do.

The source of the text of Genesis has been a core of the contemporary theology studies. One of the most important of these studies is the James E. Atwell’s (2000). He argues that Genesis 1 is directly inspired by Egyptian mythology. But, considering his arguments, the study of the typology of “Yom” shows a new paradigm that we can conclude the existence of a new source.

This learning method is to find out whether there is a relationship between the foreign languages of young people and adults and variables such as their age, previous experiences, and learning purpose. The data obtained as a result of semi-participation interviews with 10 randomly selected students who had English preparatory education at a private university, at least 2 of whom were at their level, and 10 adults selected by the snowball method, who participated in the foreign language certificate offered at the same university, were analyzed with the Maxqda program. The findings obtained as a result of the qualitative study were analyzed and the relationships between age, previous experience of learning a foreign language, language learning characteristics and current success levels were analyzed. In conclusion; It was stated that the language learners in the preparatory class, regardless of their gender and age, could take courses in English and that learning at least one language would be rich in terms of job and career in the future, and their success rates were observed in parallel with this. Certified adults are generally adults who have received any language training before and are in their 30s. It was stated that these research methods for women are generally aimed at helping the family, but on the other hand, adults generally participate in these programs with external motivations, at the request of the institution, that is, regardless of gender.

The research aims to examine the changes in the numerical, verbal and technology intensive problem solving (TIPS) scores of adults according to the data of the PIAAC application implemented in 2016 and to examine the predictions of TIPS skills by other skill scores. The PIAAC aims to provide an overview of the “basic information processing skills in of adults aged 16-65. The focus is on verbal skills, numerical skills and problem-solving skills in technology-intensive environments. As a result of the analyzes, t test was conducted to determine whether there is a difference between the numerical skill scores, verbal skill scores and TIPS skill scores of the individuals according to gender and it was seen that numerical skill scores and verbal skill scores showed significant differences according to gender. However, there was no significant difference between TIPS skill scores according to gender. TIPS skill scores, it was seen that the interaction of the individuals with the computer was made by asking and the individuals who did not want and did not know the use were not involved in the application. It is also among the results that the TIPS skills scores are predicted by verbal and numerical skill scores and the increase in numerical and verbal skill scores leads to an increase in TIPS skill scores. It can be interpreted that the change in TIPS skills by age and the high relationship between other skill scores may also be related to the education process. In addition, the distribution of TIPS skill scores according to the educational status of the individuals was examined and it was observed that there were significant differences in the educational status of the three groups.
