One of the most important topics of Christianity is the Last Judgment. The Byzantines, as a Christian society, showed great interest to this subject and produced many pieces of art depicting it. This scene consists of several themes coming together. Among the most important themes of the scene is Abraham and Hades's Bosom. Using these themes, the artists have kept the event alive in the minds of people about what will happen in the afterlife. While Abraham's Bosom is depicted to the right of Jesus as the area where those who found salvation are located, Hades's Bosom is located on his left side and those, who will face their punishment are seen there. The artists depicted the scenes in connection with each other. However, there is an important difference here. While Abraham's Bosom is an intermediate form for those who will attain salvation, Hades's Bosom has been the part of eternal fire. To make the picture more dramatic and remarkable, the painter depicted the lake of fire with the dragon of Hades swallowing the dead. Thus, the viewer can now clearly see what kind of suffering human beings will face in afterlife. The artists created a contrast between the two themes by using many permeable structures and transferred this to the paintings.

In the study, from a developed preliminary conceptual new institutionalist framework to determine the different strategic responses of organizations as a result of institutional pressures for conformity and predict the formation of alternative strategies; which strategic responses were given (acquiesce or defy or manipulate) from the Turkish higher education institutions that conform to the normatively presented quality management tried to determine. In the study, PLS-SEM algorithms were applied with SmartPLS software. The findings concluded that the "acquiesce" strategic response against normative pressure from the institutional pressures for the adoption of quality management in Turkish higher education, and the "manipulate" strategic response is given against mimetic pressure. According to the results obtained in this study, the acquiesce response as a strategic response to the normative pressures for higher education institutions to adopt quality management reveals that normative pressure is an essential tool for establishing quality in higher education. This indicates that success has been achieved in the systematic establishment of quality management on a national basis in Turkiye. Conformity to ESG standards brings success to Turkish higher education and enables Turkiye to complete its integration with Europe in higher education as soon as possible.
