As a result of non-recognition, economic embargoes and political isolation, hopes for a federal solution have diminished and the economic integration of North Cyprus with Turkey is now on the agenda. In the study discussed in this paper, academics and top managers in the private and public sectors were interviewed to ascertain their expectations concerning the possible impacts on the tourism industry of North Cyprus of such economic integration. The consensus was that economic integration would improve marketing and promotion, transportation, and investments in the tourism industry. However, the success of the industry depends heavily on increasing the competitiveness of the North Cyprus tourism product in terms of price, quality and marketing, and on the successful establishment of joint ventures with Turkish entrepreneurs.

<p><strong>BACKGROUND:</strong> From 1995 to 2007, age‑standardized total cancer mortality rates in the North Cyprus (NC) fell by around 9% in both sexes. Available cancer mortality data in Europe up to 2002 allow a first check of the forecast of further declines in cancer mortality. <strong>MATERIALS AND METHODS:</strong> We considered trends in age‑standardized mortality from major cancer sites in the NC during the period 1995-2007. <strong>RESULTS:</strong> In women, total cancer mortality declined by 23% from 92/100 000 to 75/100 000 between the years 1995‑2007. Corresponding figures for men were 85/100 000 to 66/100 000, corresponding to falls of 23% from 1995 to 2007. Lung cancer in men declined from 20/100 000 around 1995 to 16 around 2007 (−20%). In women, lung cancer mortality was 2/100 000 and there were no changes between the years 1995 and 2007. Bladder cancer declined by 25% for both men and women from 1995 to 2007. Breast cancer mortality declined from 18/100 000 around 1995 to 15/100 000 (−16%) in 2007. Prostate cancer was approximately stable until 2000, but declined from 8 to 6 (−25%) in 2007. <strong>CONCLUSIONS:</strong> Despite the persisting rises in female lung cancer in the EU, the recent trends in cancer mortality in the NC are encouraging and indicate that a 9% reduction in total cancer mortality from 1995 to 2007 is realistic and possible.</p>

The present study aims to examine the effect of authentic leadership (AL) on service innovative behavior (SIB) of employees as well as to identify whether proactive personality (PP) mediates this connection at an individual level. The quantitative cross-sectional study design was utilized to gather information from a study sample which consisted of 428 front-line employees (FLE) working at banks located in North Cyprus. Specifically, the study uses confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), correlation, structural equation modeling (SEM), and bootstrapping techniques to test the hypothesized relationships. The results reveal that both AL and PP have a significant positive effect on SIB; AL has a positive impact on PP of FLE, and PP plays a partial mediating role between AL and SIB of FLE. By relating the study findings, authenticity and proactivity in the banking sector in North Cyprus play a critical role in fostering the innovative behaviors of FLE. The study also discusses the practical and managerial implications, as well as the future scope.
