- MakaleYalnız künye2024Scopus SJRQ2The effect of anthropometric measurements and muscle endurance of the trunk and lower extremities on anatomic body awareness in healthy individuals with different levels of physical activity
Koca, Rabia; Şen, Müşerref Ebru
Background: The interaction between anthropometric measurements and muscular endurance and how these factors manifest in anatomical body awareness have not yet been fully investigated. It was aimed to examine the relationship between physical activity, body anthropometric measurements and endurance and anatomical body awareness in healthy individuals. Materials and methods: A total of 217 individuals aged 19–40 participated in the study. Participants were categorized into inactive (n = 65), minimally active (n = 80), and sufficiently active (n = 72) groups based on the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ). Anthropometric measurements including shoulder, abdomen, waist, and hip circumferences were taken. Participants’ trunk muscle endurance and lower extremity endurance was assessed through various tests. Anatomic body awareness was evaluated using the Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ) with established validity. Results: While no significant difference in shoulder circumference measurements was found between the inactive and minimally active groups (p > 0.05), the sufficiently active group showed significantly higher shoulder circumference measurements compared to the other groups (p < 0.05). Significant differences were observed among all endurance tests between the groups (p < 0.05). Participants’ body endurance increased significantly with higher activity levels. Moreover, anatomic body awareness exhibited significant variation among the three groups (p < 0.05), with the sufficiently active group having the highest level of anatomic body awareness. Positive correlations were found between all endurance tests and anatomic body awareness (p < 0.05), as well as a positive correlation between physical activity levels and anatomic body awareness (p < 0.05). Conclusion: It is suggested that physical performance and endurance increase anatomical body awareness when applied with appropriate treatment methods, can be applied for a healthier life and can be an additional application in the clinical environment.

Öztekin, Ertekin
In this study, obtaining theoretical stress-strain curves and determining the parameters defining the equivalent rectangular stress block were aimed for 3 and 4-layered rectangular Reinforced Concrete (RC) cross-sections subjected to flexure. For these aims, the analytical stress-strain model proposed by Hognestad was chosen for the concrete grades (20 MPa ≤ fck≤60 MPa) used in this study. The tensile strength of the concrete was neglected and the thickness of the concrete layers in the compression zone of the concrete cross-section was taken as equal. In addition, while concrete strength was kept constant within each layer, concrete strengths belonging to separate layers were increased from the neutral axis towards the outer face of the compression zone of the concrete cross-section. After the equivalent rectangular stress block parameters were determined by numerical iterations, variations of these parameters depending on concrete strength in layers and layer numbers were obtained. Finally, some analytical equations have been proposed to predict the equivalent stress block parameters for the 3 and 4-layered RC cross-sections and validities of these proposed equations were shown by different metrics in this study.

Kefir, which has many beneficial effects on health, is one of the most consumed fermented milk products worldwide. It is important to increase consumption of the fermented product for public health. In this study, it was aimed to increase the beneficial effects of kefir on public health. Therefore, kefirs produced from different types of milk (cow, buffalo, sheep, and goat) were concentrated, and obtained spreadable kefir samples were investigated in terms of their microbiological characteristic (lactic bacilli, lactic cocci, yeasts and moulds, total bacteria, and coliform bacteria), benzoic acid content, physicochemical properties (fat, total solid, ash content, acidity, pH, syneresis, viscosity, colour, and rheological properties), and sensory characteristic. It was determined that APC, lactic bacilli, lactic cocci, and yeast counts of the concentrated kefir samples changed between 6.90 and 8.64, 6.89 and 8.61, 7.42 and 8.72, and 2.17 and 5.39 log CFU/g, respectively, during storage. Mould and coliform bacteria were not detected in the samples. The concentrated kefir samples contained benzoic acid in the range of 18.30–119.58 mg/L. Results from this study showed that type of milk caused differences on APC, lactic bacilli, lactic cocci and yeast count, total solids, ash, fat, acidity, pH, syneresis, colour, viscosity and rheological parameters, and benzoic acid content. In addition, milk type affected sensory properties of the kefirs. Concentrated kefirs produced from cow and buffalo milk were the most liked by panellists. Finally, it was determined that concentrated kefir was favoured as a new product by most of the panellists.

Doğan, Kadir Caner
The ombudsman is an institution that accepts citizens' complaints about bad governance practices and the behavior of public administration. Today, it is seen in almost all states of the world. One of its application areas is universities. University ombudsman offices in some parts of the world mostly solve problems between students and the administration. Although there is no example of a university ombudsman in Turkey yet, there is cooperation between the Ombudsman Institution of Turkey and universities. Indeed, ombudsman student clubs established within universities in Turkey create mutual cooperation and synergy between the two institutions. This study aims to identify the ombudsman student clubs in universities in Turkey and evaluate their activities, projects, and academic contributions to the ombudsman. In this way, it is aimed to analyze the contributions of universities, which are higher education institutions, to the ombudsman, their awareness in society and their benefits to justice at the educational level. Document analysis based on qualitative analysis will be used as a method in the research. It is aimed to collect the necessary data, documents and data through contact with ombudsman clubs via e-mail, web, newsletter, report or telephone. In addition, the necessary activities, projects and data will be obtained from the Ombudsman Institution of Turkey, and the information will be analyzed.

The secondary sulfonamide derivatives containing benzothiazole scaffold (1–10) were synthesized to determine their inhibition properties on two physiologically essential human carbonic anhydrases isoforms (hCAs, EC, 4.2.1.1), hCA I, and hCA II. The inhibitory effects of the compounds on hCA I and hCA II isoenzymes were investigated by comparing their IC50 and Ki values. The Ki values of compounds (1–10) against hCA I and hCA II are in the range of 0.052 ± 0.022–0.971 ± 0.280 and 0.025 ± 0.010–0.682 ± 0.335, respectively. Some of these inhibited the enzyme more effectively than the standard drug, acetazolamide. In particular, compounds 5 and 4 were found to be most effective on hCA I and hCA II.

Yılmaz, Hacı Ömer; Günen, Mehmet Akif
This study aims to evaluate the relationship of geographical factors, including precipitation, slope, air pollution and elevation with adult obesity prevalence in Türkiye (TR) using a cross-regional study design. Ordinary least squares (OLS) and geographically weighted regression (GWR) were performed to evaluate the spatial variation in the relationship between all geographic factors and obesity prevalence. In the model, a positive relationship was found between obesity prevalence and slope, whereas a negative significant relationship was determined between obesity prevalence and elevation (p < 0.05). These results, revealing spatially varying associations, were very useful in refining the interpretations of the statistical results on adult obesity. This research suggests that geographical factors should be considered as one of the components of the obesogenic environment. In addition, it is recommended that national and international strategies to overcome obesity should be restructured by taking into account the geographical characteristics of the region.

Bulut, M.; Gundogdu, E.
In this study, various concentrations of Dried Apricot Pulp (DAP) were added to butter at levels of 0, 15, 20, and 25%, and its effects on antioxidant capacity, oxidative stability, color, and sensory attributes were assessed during 45 days of storage. Butter samples were labeled as A0 (Control), A15, A20, and A25 corresponding to the respective levels of DAP incorporation. The addition of DAP resulted in significant reductions in pH, while titratable acidity (expressed as lactic acid %) and free fatty acids (FFA) content (mg KOH g-1 butter) increased in a dose-dependent manner (P< 0.05). Fortification with DAP delayed peroxide formation in the butter samples. Additionally, DAP supplementation significantly (P< 0.05) increased Total Phenolic Content (TPC), improved DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl) scavenging activity, and increased Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC) during storage. Panelists assigned higher sensory scores to the DAP-enhanced butters. These fortified butters exhibited lower fat content (ranging from 65.25 to 65.50%) compared to the control butter (73.75%). Notably, the total sugar content of samples A15, A20, and A25 was 3.69±0.06, 4.70±0.06, and 5.64±0.08, respectively. Overall, this study demonstrates the potential of all DAP ratios, particularly 25%, as rich sources of antioxidants. However, further formulation adjustments and comprehensive analyses are warranted for industrial and marketing applications.

The interaction of P and Zn is a crucial factor affecting plant growth and yield. The aim of this study was to investigate the combined effects of P and Zn on P-Zn distribution in safflower tissues and seed yield. A two-year study was conducted in farmer fields in northeastern Turkey during 2014 and 2015 years. P applications consisted of four levels (0, 3, 6 and 9 kg P2O5 da−1) that were allotted to the main plots. Sub-plots were composed of three Zn levels (0, 0.5 and 1 kg Zn da−1). The results showed that P and Zn applications had a significant effect on the P and Zn concentration of straw, head, seed, and yield. P concentration in straw, head, and seed increased significantly with increasing P and Zn levels. Zn concentration decreased with high P levels compared to the control, while it increased with increasing Zn levels regardless of P application. At low P levels, yield did not respond to Zn treatments; however, at high P doses, Zn application resulted in a dramatic increase in yield compared to the control. In order to increase seed yield, instead of P and Zn sole application, their combined application was very effective, and doses of 9 kg P2O5 da−1 and 0.5 kg Zn da−1 showed the optimum performance. In conclusion, this study revealed that in P- and Zn-deficient soil, P treatments increased seed yield remarkably, but the combined application of P and Zn resulted in even higher yield increases.

Social media facilitates crisis management and emergency response efforts by disseminating disaster information during disasters. Understanding the positive and negative contributions of social media to disaster management after devastating disasters will make social media more effective and efficient for crisis management in the future. The objective of this study was to investigate the public's social media use in the 15-day period after the earthquakes that occurred on February 6, 2023, in Türkiye. The study was designed both quantitatively and qualitatively. The data were collected from 1698 people residing in Türkiye via a survey method and analyzed via descriptive, ordinal logistic regression, and thematic analysis. The thoughts of 245 participants regarding social media use were analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that social media was employed as a powerful resource for sharing information after the earthquakes. The participants used Instagram the most and followed the social media accounts of the institutions the most. Posting the physical and psychological damage of earthquakes and humanitarian aid negatively affected the participants and caused them to think that social media was useless. Due to the information shared by social media phenomena and nongovernmental organizations, the participants stated that social media was useful after the earthquakes. For people to share posts that will contribute to search and rescue, aid and damage assessment on reliable and high-follower social media accounts, disaster managers, scientists and policy makers should understand communities' usage intentions, satisfaction and criticism regarding social media accounts and platforms during previous disasters.

Gökgöz, Baki; Gül, Fatih; Aydın, Tolga
The prevalence of artificial intelligence applications using artificial neural network architectures for functions such as natural language processing, text prediction, object detection, speech, and image recognition has significantly increased in today's world. The computational functions performed by artificial neural networks in classical applications require intensive and large-scale data movement between memory and processing units. Various software and hardware efforts are being made to perform these operations more efficiently. Despite these efforts, latency in data traffic and the substantial amount of energy consumed in data processing emerge as bottleneck disadvantages of the Von Neumann architecture. To overcome this bottleneck problem, it is necessary to develop hardware units specific to artificial intelligence applications. For this purpose, neuro-inspired computing chips are believed to provide an effective approach by designing and integrating a set of features inspired by neurobiological systems at the hardware level to address the problems arising in artificial intelligence applications. The most notable among these approaches is memristor-based neuromorphic computing systems. Memristors are seen as promising devices for hardware-level improvement in terms of speed and energy because they possess non-volatile memory and exhibit analog behavior. They enable effective storage and processing of synaptic weights, offering solutions for hardware-level development. Taking into account these advantages of memristors, this study examines the research conducted on artificial neural networks and hardware that can directly perform deep learning functions and mimic the biological brain, which is different from classical systems in today's context.

Dogan, Nilgun
This study aims to present the economic impact of the production of local Geographical Indication (GI) products on producers based on the example of GI Kelkit sugar (dry) beans. Kelkit sugar beans, which are cultivated using local seeds, are legume products with white seeds and pink spots. Sugar beans grown around the Kelkit district of Gümüşhane were registered as a geographical indication product by the Turkish Patent and Trademark Office (TPO) in 2020. This study seeks to answer the question of how the production of Kelkit sugar beans, which are mainly marketed with a geographical indication label, affects producer welfare. The target group of the research consists of farmers living in the Kelkit, Siran, and Kose districts of Gümüşhane who use GI-labelled seeds and do not use GI-labelled seeds in beans production. Propensity Score Matching was employed to determine the economic impact of the production of local geographical indication products on producers. The results indicate that the agricultural enterprises participating in the Kelkit sugar beans production program using geographical indication seeds have lower gross output and gross profit per unit area than those who did not participate in the program.

In this study, fly ash (FA) from Sivas/Kangal thermal power plant and blast furnace slag (BFS) from Bolu cement industry were used as the main binder materials. Based on both the literature and preliminary tests, samples were prepared with 85% blast furnace slag and 15% fly ash (85BFS15FA) as the main binder. In addition, the effect of geopolymer main binders and different additives such as mine waste, marble powder, and titanium dioxide were evaluated under various working conditions. The aim was to observe the effect of three different levels and 6 different parameters on the geopolymer samples using the Taguchi optimization method. Accordingly, the L27 orthogonal matrix was created. Three different molar ratios (8M, 10M, 12M) of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) solution were used as alkaline activators. Physical and some mechanical tests such as flexural strength, compressive strength, water absorption, and void ratio were performed on the 7, 28, 56, and 90-day samples, and Taguchi and ANOVA statistical analyses were performed on the 90-day samples. The highest compressive strength observed among 108 samples reached 65.75 MPa in the S20 samples (90-day). Taguchi and ANOVA statistical analyses identified curing temperature as the most significant parameter influencing the geopolymer samples. Additionally, the Signal to Noise ratio data indicated that the optimal curing temperature, determined to be the most effective based on the 'Larger is better' criterion, was found to be 75 ̊C.

Kosmaz Sunnetci, Betul; Bingol, Ozkan; Gedikli, Eyup; Ekinci, Murat
Automatic ROI extraction from hand images is a critical step in palmprint recognition. Traditional methods involve steps such as identifying the region of the hand, finding the valleys between the fingers and marking the palm area. Some of these processes are performed manually and some are performed with image processing techniques. However, these methods are time-consuming, vulnerable to human error, and computationally redundant. In this study, a deep learning-based convolutional neural network is developed for high-performance automatic ROI extraction from hand images. The proposed method eliminates the hand segmentation process and provides a solution where the palm region can be automatically selected directly. This reduces processing time, minimizes human error and improves overall accuracy.

Şan, Murat; Nacar, Sinan; Kankal, Murat; Bayram, Adem
Precipitation, especially in regions dominated by the Mediterranean climate, is one of the most critical parameters of the hydrological cycle and the environment affected by climate change. One the one hand, the transition probabilities of wet and dry days in precipitation occurrence are a relatively new topic, on the other hand these are essential in defining the regional climate. For the first time, spatiotemporal variations of transition probabilities of wet and dry days in the Susurluk Basin, northwestern Türkiye, dominated by a semi-arid Mediterranean climate and also having a mountain climate, were analyzed based on the observation (1979–2014) and future terms (2030–2059 as short and 2070–2099 as long), under four Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) scenarios. To do this, statistical downscaling was performed for 14 general circulation models (GCMs) from the CMIP6. By applying an ensemble of four high-performing GCMs, four indices for transition probabilities of wet and dry, i.e., a dry day following a dry day (FDD), a wet day following a dry day (FDW), a dry day following a wet day (FWD), and a wet day following a wet day (FWW), were calculated, and their changes were determined statistically. Monotonic and partial trends of the indices were also analyzed. According to the results, the FDD will increase in water year and wet period and autumn in the future, especially for the long term, in the basin dominated by the FDD (75 % in water year). The risks are higher in the western part of the basin, where human activities are intense, as the FDD is higher in this part than other parts especially in summer (90–100 %) in SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5 scenarios for the long term. So, the length of consecutive dry days in the wet period and water year will increase in the basin, thus increasing the likelihood of droughts. As for the intra-term trends, the FDD increases and the FWW decreases in the water year and seasons in SSP3-7.0 and SSP5-8.5, contrary to the observation term.

In this paper, composites of multi-walled carbon nanotubes decorated with hollow porous gold nanoparticles (HPAuNPs/MWCNTs) were prepared using wet chemistry methods, and their capacitive properties were evaluated in Na2SO4 aqueous solution on glassy carbon (GC) electrodes as both cathode and anode materials by cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge–discharge (GCD), and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques. Also, the MWCNTs were studied under similar experimental conditions for comparison. The results revealed that the charge storage mechanisms of the MWCNTs/GC and HPAuNPs/MWCNTs/GC electrodes were electrostatic in the negative potential window, whereas they exhibited pseudocapacitive energy storage behavior in the positive potential region. Moreover, the HPAuNPs/MWCNTs/GC electrode yielded specific capacitance values of 57 and 49 F g−1 at a scan rate of 20 mV s−1 in the cathodic and anodic potential windows, respectively, which were higher than those of the MWCNTs/GC electrode (~9 F g−1).

Uzun, Sevda; Ustuner Top, Fadime
The concept of immigration is a complex phenomenon that goes far beyond mere relocation and refers to the transition from one social environment to another or from one culture to another. Immigration and its effects on children are regarded as global and interdisciplinary problems. This study aims to reveal the opinions of nurses working in the pediatric emergency department about the mental health of immigrant children. In this qualitative research, a phenomenological research design was used (N = 19).Interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview form. Colaizzi’s method was used to analyze the data manually. Four categories, eleven themes, and thirty-eight sub-themes emerged from the analysis of the data. The difficulties nurses experience with immigrant children and their relatives in providing care include communication problems, cultural problems, and economic problems. The causes of mental health problems in immigrant children include war, exposure to immigration traumas, cultural assimilation problems, loss/absence of parents, economic reasons/excessive role overload, and exposure to neglect and/or abuse. Education, economic aid, communication, non-stigmatization, and social support were identified as significant sub-themes for practices to protect/promote children’s mental health. The study showed that immigrant children experience physical and mental problems. Nurses struggle to treat immigrant children effectively but have difficulties due to insufficient facilities. It may be suggested to include cultural care models in patient care.

Şirin, Murat; Bayrak, Esra Yılmaz; Baltaş, Hasan
The contamination of fish resulting from marine pollution is a major concern, as it poses potential adverse effects on human health. Therefore, heavy metal concentrations (Cr, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, and Pb) in different genders and tissues (muscle, liver, gonads and gills) of whiting fish collected from fish markets in Rize province were determined by Inductively–coupled plasma optic emission spectrometry (ICP–OES). The concentration ranges of heavy metals in all tissue samples, based on the overall average, were as follows (mg/kg wet weight): Cr: 0.081–0.25, Fe: 2.3–40, Ni: 0.070–0.095, Cu: 0.33–1.01, Zn: 3.0–20, and Pb: 0.015–0.043. The results indicated that the liver and gills exhibited a higher metal accumulation capacity compared to other tissues, whereas the muscle consistently displayed the lowest metal concentrations. The metal concentrations in the muscle were found to be below the maximum permissible levels set by international organizations for seafood. Additionally, calculated estimated daily intake (EDI), metal pollution index (MPI), target hazard quotient (THQ), total exposure hazard index (HI), and target carcinogenic risk (TR) indicate no potential risk to humans from whiting fish consumption.
