    Efficacy of Propolis in the Prevention of Oral Mucositis in Patients Undergoing High-Dose Chemotherapy

    Çakmak, Seher; Nural, Nesrin

    Background: Oral mucositis is one of the most common symptoms in adults with a hematological cancer who are receiving high-dose chemotherapy. Propolis is a complementary and alternative method used to prevent oral mucositis in these patients. Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of propolis in the prevention of oral mucositis in patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy and/or hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Methods: A total of 64 patients, 32 in the propolis group and 32 in the control group, were enrolled in this prospective randomized controlled experimental study. Whereas the standard oral care treatment protocol was administered to the control group, aqueous propolis extract was applied to the propolis intervention group in addition to the standard oral care treatment protocol. Data collection forms included a Descriptive Information Form, the Karnofsky Performance Scale, the Cumulative Illness Rating Scale-Geriatric, Patient Follow-up Form, the World Health Organization Oral Toxicity Scale, and the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. Results: The incidence and duration of oral mucositis were statistically significantly lower in the propolis intervention group than the control group, and the onset of oral mucositis and grade 2 to 3 oral mucositis occurred later (P < .05). Conclusion: Propolis mouthwash combined with standard oral care treatment delayed the onset of oral mucositis and decreased its incidence and the number of days it lasted. Implications for Practice: Mouthwash with propolis can be used as a nursing intervention to decrease oral mucositis and its symptoms in hematological cancer patients receiving high-dose chemotherapy.

    Education and reproductive health: evidence from schooling expansion in Turkey

    De, Prabal K.; Tümay, Muhammed

    We investigate the role of additional years of schooling mandated by a compulsory schooling expansion law in affecting reproductive preferences and safe reproductive health behaviors in Turkey—a middle-to-high-income country with gender inequity in education but overall high levels of safe reproductive health practices at the time of passing the law. Using a fuzzy regression discontinuity design, we find that the additional schooling improved several health behaviors. However, the effects on some outcomes commonly analyzed in the existing literature, such as contraceptive use or fertility, were either weak or insignificant. Overall, our findings complement the current literature on the marginal health benefits of schooling expansion and suggest that policymakers consider the institutional and cultural factors while evaluating the scope and potential non-educational benefits of such expansions.

    The investigation of the relationship between technology readiness and technological resistance: The case of Istanbul airport

    Yalvaç, Güler; Atalik, Özlem

    While new generation technologies are produced, the readiness of the society in which they are produced to the technology to be presented is an important factor that will enable enterprises to obtain maximum benefit from the technology product. It is possible to estimate the readiness of a society for technology according to the level of technology readiness. Resistance to technology refers to the level of adoption or non-adoption of technology by individuals. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the relationship between technological resistance and technological readiness of passengers travelling to Istanbul Airport. For this purpose, a questionnaire study was conducted on 101 people from the Istanbul Airport departing passenger group. According to the research findings, it was concluded that there is a statistically significant, negative, and weak relationship between technology readiness and technological resistance.

    Hysteretic behaviour of square-hollow-section T- and X-joints with in-plane bending moment

    Ozyurt, E.; Gunaydin, M.

    This study examined the hysteretic behaviour of Square Hollow Section (SHS) T- and X-joints subjected to cyclic in-plane bending moments. A nonlinear finite element software, Abaqus, was used to investigate SHS T- and X-joint seismic performance. Prior to the parametric study, the numerical model was validated based on the available test results in the literature. A comprehensive parametric study employed validated finite element models to evaluate the influence of critical geometric parameters, including the brace-to-chord width ratio (β) and the chord width-to-thickness ratio (γ). The results of the finite element analyses regarding ductility, flexural strength, and energy dissipation behaviour of SHS T- and X-joints under quasi-static cyclic in-plane bending were evaluated. Based on the hysteretic curves, increasing β generally leaded to higher initial stiffness and moment capacity in SHS joints, considerably reducing joint rotation. Conversely, the joints with larger γ exhibited reduced initial stiffness and moment capacity. Besides, the Eurocode 3 EN1993-1-8 predictions for the ultimate flexural strength of the joints are found to be conservative compared to finite element results. The results also revealed that the SHS T- and X-joints showed satisfactory ductility levels under in-plane bending load. It was observed that the SHS T- and X-joints with high β and low γ are advantageous for absorbing energy under seismic loads. These findings offered valuable insights for the seismic-resistant design of structures incorporating SHS joints, aiding in selecting optimal configurations based on specific performance requirements.

    Işık, Çiğdem; Parlak, Mahmut Ekrem; Kıraç Demirel, Fatma Tuba; Odabaş, Halil İbrahim; Dağdelen, Adnan Fatih; Yilmaz, Mustafa Tahsin; Taylan, Osman; Sarıcaoğlu, Furkan Türker

    Gelatin extraction from chicken skins using ohmic heating (OH) is a promising application in the food industry. In this study, the effects of OH parameters (electric field (5, 10, 15, and 20 V/cm) and extraction time (1, 3, and 5 h)) on the extraction yield, physicochemical, functional, rheological, thermal, and microstructural properties of chicken skin gelatin were investigated, as well as comparison with conventional extraction and commercial halal gelatins. Chicken skin gelatins obtained with OH-assisted extraction showed higher ash content resulting in more turbidity than commercial gelatins. OH parameters significantly increased the gelatin yield, and 1 h of OH treatment revealed the highest gel strength amongst the electric field applications, conventional extracted, and bovine gelatin. The melting and gelation temperatures of chicken skin gelatins were higher than bovine gelatin and OH treatment increased the thermal stability. The amino acid composition significantly changed with OH treatment, and total imino acid content, relating to the gelation properties, increased. Functional properties, water and oil binding, emulsifying, and foaming, of chicken skin gelatin were significantly higher than commercial gelatins, and OH treatment significantly increased these properties. Overall, OH extraction of gelatin from chicken skins could be a better option for less extraction time, higher extraction yield, better functionality, and higher thermal stability compared to conventional extraction. It was concluded that chicken skin gelatins extracted using OH have properties that can be an alternative to commercial gelatins, but further purification processes are required.

    The effect of a cognitive behavioural intervention package on peripheral venous cannulation pain, fear and anxiety in Paediatric patients: A randomised controlled trial

    Demir Imamoglu, Zeynep; Aytekin Ozdemir, Aynur

    Purpose: This study investigated the effect of a cognitive behavioural intervention package (CBIP) on peripheral venous cannulation (PVC) pain, fear and anxiety in paediatric patients aged 7–12 years. Design and methods: This randomised controlled trial included 77 paediatric patients (intervention: n = 39 and control: n = 38). The control group underwent a routine PVC procedure, whereas the intervention group attended the CBIP while undergoing a PVC procedure. Data were collected using a sociodemographic form, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), the Wong–Baker FACES (WB-FACES) Pain Rating Scale, the Children's Fear Scale (CFS) and the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children–State Form (STAIC–State). The participants, their caregivers and the researcher scored PVC pain, fear and anxiety levels. The study was approved by an ethics committee. Informed consent was obtained from caregivers, and verbal consent was obtained from children. Results: No significant difference in pre-procedural CFS scores were noted between the CBIP and control groups (p > 0.05). However, the CBIP group had significantly lower mean procedural pain (VAS and WB-FACES), fear (CFS) and anxiety (STAIC–State) scores than the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: The CBIP helped children experience less PVC pain, fear and anxiety. Practice implications: Nurses can use the CBIP to help reduce PVC pain, fear and anxiety in children. Clinical trials registration: The study was registered at Clinical-Trials.gov (NCT06018909).

    Consumer Protection in the Digital Era: An Analysis of Consumer Protection in E-Commerce

    Septiningsih, Ismawati; Karimullah, Suud Sarim

    The digital revolution has fundamentally reshaped the way consumers interact with the marketplace. The emergence of e-commerce platforms has accelerated economic transactions while simultaneously introducing complex legal challenges, particularly regarding consumer protection. This study critically examines the effectiveness of consumer protection mechanisms in the digital era, with a focus on e-commerce practices in both domestic and cross-border contexts. Using a normative, juridical, and qualitative approach, the research examines the implementation of consumer protection principles in online transactions, with a specific focus on transparency, data privacy, unfair contract terms, and the accessibility of dispute resolution channels. The findings indicate that although several legal frameworks—such as electronic transaction laws and consumer protection statutes—have adapted to digital developments, their enforcement remains inconsistent and fragmented. Many consumers are unaware of their rights in digital transactions, while existing regulations often struggle to keep pace with the rapid pace of technological innovation. The study also reveals that dispute resolution in e-commerce is still dominated by platform-based mechanisms, which tend to prioritize business interests over consumer rights. Furthermore, cross-border transactions often create jurisdictional ambiguities that weaken consumer protection. This research makes an academic contribution by presenting a conceptual model of adaptive consumer protection, which integrates technological responsiveness, legal flexibility, and ethical accountability. It extends the theoretical discourse on digital consumer law by proposing the harmonization of international standards and the establishment of collaborative enforcement mechanisms between states and digital platforms. Practically, the study offers recommendations for policymakers and regulatory bodies to enhance consumer trust, foster digital literacy, and ensure equitable legal safeguards in the global digital marketplace.

    From Garden to Pillow: Understanding the Relationship between Plant-Based Nutrition and Quality of Sleep

    Arslan, Neslihan; Bozkır, Eda; Koçak, Tevfik; Akin, Meleksen; Yilmaz, Birsen

    The effect of diet on sleep quality has been addressed in many studies; however, whether/how plant-based diets (PBDs) impact sleep-related parameters has not been explored in detail. This review aims to give an overview of the components of PBDs and the possible mechanisms through which PBDs may improve sleep quality. Studies have indicated that diets such as PBDs, which are typically high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fiber, are associated with better sleep outcomes, including less fragmented sleep and improved sleep duration. Several mechanisms may explain how PBDs impact and/or improve sleep outcomes. Firstly, PBDs are characteristically rich in certain nutrients, such as magnesium and vitamin B6, which have been associated with improved sleep patterns. Secondly, PBDs are often lower in saturated fats and higher in fiber, which may contribute to better overall health, including sleep quality. Additionally, plant bioactive compounds like phytochemicals and antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, and herbs may have sleep-promoting effects. According to available data, PBD and Mediterranean diet elements promise to enhance sleep quality; however, it is crucial to note that diets should be customized based on each person’s needs.

    Remote sensing and monitoring of water resources: A comparative study of different indices and thresholding methods

    Günen, Mehmet Akif; Atasever, Umit Haluk

    Water resources are essential for the ecological system and the development of civilization. Water is imperative factor for health preservation and sustaining various human activities, including industrial production, agriculture, and daily life. Remote sensing provides a cost-effective and practical means to detect and monitor water bodies, offers valuable insights into the impact of climatic events on water structures, especially in coastal lake regions. The research primarily utilizes Landsat-9 OLI-2 satellite images to evaluate the effectiveness of various water indices (WRI, NWI, MNDWI, NDWI) in combination with global automatic thresholding methods (K-Means, Zhenzhou's, Adaptive, Intermodes, Prewitt and Mendelsohn's Minimum, Maximum Entropy, Median, Concavity, Percentile, Intermeans, Kittler and Illingworth's Minimum Error, Tsai's Moments, Otsu's, Huang's fuzzy, Triangle, Mean, IsoData, Li's). The study was carried out on Lake Nazik, Lake Iznik, and Lake Beyşehir, which have unique geographical characteristics, and examined the adaptability and robustness of the selected indices and thresholding methods. MNDWI consistently stands out as a robust index for water extraction, delivering accurate results across different thresholding methods in regions all three lakes. As a result of quite extensive analysis, it is obtained that MNDWI and NDWI are reliable choices for water feature extraction in various lake environments, but the specific index should consider the thresholding method and unique lake characteristics. The Minimum thresholding method stands out as the most effective thresholding technique, demonstrating impressive results across different lakes. Specifically, it achieved an average Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 78.97 and Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of 99.37 for Lake Nazik, 74.08 PSNR and 98.34 SSIM for Lake Iznik, and 63.96 PSNR and 93.61 SSIM for Lake Beyşehir.

    Gyroscopic precession control for maneuvering two-wheeled robot recoil stabilization

    Çetin, Gökhan; Ünker, Faruk

    A two-wheeled robot has high maneuverability and can spin around with a high velocity but is prone to roll over under a recoil force. Because the wheels are only used to control the maneuver speed of the robot. However, a two-wheeled robot using a gyroscope does not need the control of the wheels and can maintain the stability of the robot under a recoil force during maneuvers even if the gimbal of the gyroscope is not controlled by a torque. In this study, the equations of motion of the gyroscopic robot are derived via Lagrangian equations, and the balancing performance of the uncontrolled gyroscope is simulated via Matlab to determine a desired configuration for mechatronics system design. Then, a linear-quadratic regulator (LQR) is implemented to the chosen control moment gyroscope (CMG) configuration and compared in simulations of RecurDyn. LQR controller was used to prevent oscillating motions of double CMGs under the recoil force of a weapon. The simulation results showed that the gyroscopic two-wheeled robot is improved using an LQR controller and powerfully balanced in static with excellent performance.

    Edge detection and depth estimation of Lake Sapanca, Eastern Marmara Region, from high-resolution magnetic data

    Aktaş, Gülten

    The present study aims to determine submarine structural elements by analysing high-resolution magnetic data sets and to examine the impact of geological surface structures characterizing Lake Sapanca. Lake Sapanca is located on the northern branch of the North Anatolian Fault Zone. The study area and its immediate surroundings are located within the most active tectonic structure of Turkey. A magnetic study was carried out in Sapanca Lake to reveal the structural elements that caused the formation of the lake. Diurnal corrections were applied to the magnetic data. During the analysis of the marine magnetic data set, there are variations in the mean field level of the magnetic field caused by the routing effects of ship noise on the measurements. To eliminate this noise effect, directional correction was performed. Then, de-stripping correction was also applied. It is essential to estimate the boundaries and depths of the structural features of the region. In order to elucidate the structural features of the region, different techniques such as tilt angle derivative, the total horizontal derivative of tilt angle derivative, Euler 2D deconvolution, horizontal gradient magnitude, and source edge detection were applied to magnetic data. 2-D modelling using GM-SYS in Oasis Montaj were performed. These techniques identified and mapped the edges of anomalous sources related to magnetic data corresponding to geological elements in the study area. The results allow us to image the submarine lineaments for the survey area. These structural lineaments are in E–W, NE–SW and NW–SE trends. These lineaments in our results are quite compatible with the faults in previous geophysical results. The E–W trending lineaments are related to the E–W trending faults in the region.

    Attitudes of Individuals with a Family History of Hypertension Towards the Prevention of Hypertension and Health Locus of Control

    Demir Doğan, Melike; Akdemir, Rabia Rumeysa

    This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of individuals with a family history of hypertension towards the prevention of hypertension, their health locus of control, and the factors affecting these attitudes. The data of this cross-sectional study were collected from 97 individuals through face-to-face interviews between 01 March 2023 and 01 June 2023. A Descriptive Information Form, the Attitudes Scale Towards Prevention of Hypertension, and the Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale-Form A were used to collect data. It was observed that the participants had a high level of attitudes towards prevention of hypertension. Their knowledge of disease and risk, habits and lifestyle attitudes, attitudes towards prevention and control, and attitudes towards mental state and physical activity were positively high. Those who lived with their families had lower attitudes towards the prevention of hypertension, attitudes towards prevention and control, and knowledge of disease and risk than those who lived alone. Smokers had lower attitudes towards habits and lifestyles than non-smokers. As age advanced, attitudes towards the prevention of hypertension, attitudes towards prevention and control, and attitudes towards habits and lifestyles rose. Attitudes towards prevention and control declined as educational levels elevated. As educational level elevated, knowledge of disease and risk declined. It was found that the locus of control of the individuals was the internal locus of control, and as the internal locus of control grew, their attitudes towards the prevention of hypertension, attitudes of prevention and control, knowledge of disease and risk, attitudes of mental state and physical activity, and attitudes of habit and lifestyle positively increased.

    Identification of wart treatment evaluation by using optimum ensemble based classification techniques

    Balcı, Muharrem; Alkan, Ahmet

    Warts caused by Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) do not disappear spontaneously with the body's natural immunity. This is due to many features of HPV, such as its weak immune effect, not entering the bloodstream and causing an immune response, and permanent infection of skin cells. HPV requires urgent treatment due to these characteristics and the fact that warts are most common on the hands and feet and are painful and disturbing. Choosing the most appropriate Cryotherapy or Immunotherapy treatment methods according to the patient's physiological characteristics is important in order to carry out the treatment process quickly. This study focuses on helping experts choose the most appropriate treatment for the most common plantar and common warts. For the selection of treatment method machine learning have been used. Bagged Tree and Subspace K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) Ensemble classification algorithms were developed and tested on two data sets. These data sets were used to develop classification algorithms with pre- and post-treatment information of 180 patients receiving cryotherapy and immunotherapy treatments. The Subspace KNN Ensemble algorithm correctly predicted the treatment results of 88 of 90 patients receiving cryotherapy treatment, reaching 97.80% accuracy, and the Bagged Tree Ensemble algorithm correctly predicted 78 out of 90 patients receiving immunotherapy, reaching 86.7% accuracy. It has been shown that algorithms can help experts in terms of both high accuracy values ​​and fast decision making. The algorithms proposed have not been used before, and it has also been seen that they have superior performances than similar studies.

    Polat, Eray; Çalişkan, Serkan

    Purpose: The Food Neophobia Scale developed by Pliner and Hobden (1992) has been widely utilized globally and in Turkey for many years to measure people's fear of new foods. This study aims to determine the mean value by conducting a reliability generalization meta-analysis for the reported reliability coefficients of individual studies in Turkey's tourism field, which employed Pliner and Hobden's scale to investigate food neophobia. Additionally, this study explores variations in the mean value among subgroups. Methods: A reliability generalization meta-analysis based on a random-effects model was conducted to examine the heterogeneity of reliability coefficients in the study, along with heterogeneity analyses and moderator analyses. Results: Based on the analysis of 48 independent samples (N= 23306), the transformed mean Cronbach's alpha value was estimated to be .827 (95% CI [.796-.853]) and found to be significant. The Q-test and I2 values reveal significant heterogeneity between alpha coefficients, indicating a notable variation in the measurement reliability across samples. Moderator analyses using analog to the ANOVA and meta-regression analyses showed that reliability coefficients differed according to the variables of publication type, sample type, and proportion of women in the sample. Implications: The results offer valuable insight for researchers seeking to select appropriate scales for investigating food neophobia.
