An Analytic Hierarchy Process Contingency Analysis of Factors Affecting the Emigration Decision of Medical Doctors in Turkey.

While the importance of explicitly identifying and considering contingent factors such as decision content and context is widely accepted as a way to ensure the validity of the decision analysis for the specific task at hand, few studies include this. This research uses a contingency theoretical approach to study factors affecting the emigration decision of medical doctors (MDs) for the specific case of Turkey. The motivation for conducting this study arises from the observation that the growing trend in emigration among MDs from Turkey is having a significant impact on the country's healthcare system. Dealing with the emigration of MDs is crucial for ensuring an effective and sustainable healthcare system, especially in terms of the availability of services, satisfaction, and employment of the healthcare staff. Contextual factors were explicitly identified through consultation with experts, while the generic factors were retrieved from the specialized medical migration literature. The Analytic Hierarchy Process method was utilized to prioritize the factors. Seventy-three participants were surveyed about their intention to either study or work abroad. The findings reveal that low remuneration and anxiety about their future due to the political situation in the country constitute the two most important factors driving the decision to emigrate.

Bis(triethanolamine)cadmium(II) and -mercury(II) saccharinates: seven-coordinate complexes containing both tri- and tetradentate triethanolamine ligands.

The structures of the title triethanolamine (tea) complexes of Cd(II) and Hg(II) saccharinates, bis(triethanolamine)-kappa3O,N,O';kappa4O,N,O',O"-cadmium(II) 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-onate 1,1-dioxide, [Cd(C6H15NO3)2](C7H4NO3S)2, (I), and bis(triethanolamine)-kappa3O,N,O';kappa4O,N,O',O"-mercury(II) 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-onate 1,1-dioxide, [Hg(C6H15NO3)2](C7H4NO3S)2, (II), or [M(tea)2](sac)2, where M is Cd(II) or Hg(II) and sac is the saccharinate anion, reveal seven-coordinate metal ions in both complexes. Both complex cations, [M(tea)2]2+, adopt a monocapped trigonal prism geometry in which the two tea ligands exhibit different coordination modes to achieve seven-coordination. One tea ligand acts as a tetradentate ligand using all its donor atoms, while the other behaves as a tridentate O,N,O'-donor ligand, with one of its ethanol groups remaining uncoordinated. The H atoms of the free and coordinated hydroxyl groups of the tea ligands are involved in hydrogen bonding with the amine N atom, and with the carbonyl and sulfonyl O atoms of neighbouring sac ions, forming an infinite three-dimensional network. A weak pi-pi interaction between the phenyl rings of the sac ions also occurs.

trans-Bis(ethanolamine-N,O)bis(saccharinato-N)copper(II).

In the title complex, [Cu(C(7)H(4)NO(3)S)(2)(C(2)H(7)NO)(2)], the Cu(II) centre lies on an inversion centre and exhibits octahedral coordination, with the two ethanolamine (Hea) and two saccharinate [sac; anionic 1,2-benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one 1,1-dioxide] ligands in a trans configuration. The bidentate Hea ligands bridge axial and equatorial positions and the sac anions occupy equatorial sites around the distorted octahedral copper(II) centre [Cu--O = 2.3263 (16), Cu--N(Hea) = 1.9923 (16) and Cu--N(sac) = 2.1776 (16) A].
