    Fragile Routes: The Impact of Israel's Confrontational Policies on Trade Routes

    Sancak, Kadir

    The geopolitical position of the Middle East has a strategic value in the functioning of Eurasian trade routes. Accordingly, security issues in the region directly affect the realization and sustainability of trade projects. Israels Palestinian policies disrupt the security balance in the Middle East, posing risks to major trade projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative, the IMEC Project and the Development Road. Recognizing that trade and security are inextricably linked, this study examines the current state and future of these projects from a security perspective. Based on a comprehensive literature review using qualitative analysis, this study evaluates the effects of instability in the Middle East on trade routes. The study reveals that trade projects in the region will be at risk of instability unless security issues are resolved. The first part of the study discusses the relationship between trade and security in a conceptual framework. Then, Israel's Palestinian policies are briefly touched upon and it is stated that these policies negatively affect the security of the Middle East. In the last part, major trade projects are discussed and how these projects are affected by Israel's policies. The findings show that the Southern Corridor of the Belt and Road Initiative has a fragile structure, the IMEC Project cannot be realized due to security problems, and the Development Road offers a more reliable alternative under current conditions. If security and stability cannot be ensured in the Middle East, it is anticipated that it will be difficult for trade projects to operate permanently and effectively.

    Electricity in Ottoman Commercial Enterprises as a New Power Source

    Damlibag, Fatih

    Until the last quarter of 19th century, steam power was the only available source of power for commercial enterprises. But this power required large amounts of investment. This requirement limited the spread of mechanization. But the invention of electrical motors changed the situation. With its practical usage opportunities, electricity took attention of several commercial enterprises in the Ottoman Empire. According to former steam power, electricity provides both usage easiness and lesser cost opportunity to commercial enterprises. Thanks to electrical engines, relatively small businesses were also able to take decision of mechanization. In this article, there were shown examples from six sectors, who wanted to benefit from electricity in their activities. Entrepreneurs made investments in mining, logistics, jewelry, transportation, ginning and milling, for this new technology. With electricity investments, entrepreneurs wanted to reach seven advantages that there were communication possibility, safer working environment, energy efficiency, better lighting, easy utilization, reduced cost and increased productivity. As to the Ottoman government's approach to these entrepreneurs, the officials did not always eagerly meet their demands. Most of the custom officials were reluctant to accept electrical appliances into the country. But in the end, demands of entrepreneurs were mostly accepted by the government. For the control of these demands, the Ottoman Empire wanted both the purpose of each request and the person responsible for that request to be clearly determined.

    Interactional Roles of Proactive Personality and Religious Attitude Levels in the Effect of Disappointment Intolerance on Mental Health of Earthquake Victims

    Maraslioglu, Serife Ericek

    Earthquakes, as natural disasters, are stressful life events characterized by frustration, uncertainty, and psychological burden. In fact, disappointment intolerance - the inability to tolerate distressing or obstructive experiences - has been shown to predict both life satisfaction and depressive symptoms. The present study aims to examine the mediating role of proactive personality in the relationship between disappointment intolerance beliefs and mental health, as well as the moderating role of religious attitudes in this relationship among earthquake victims living in container cities after the 6 February earthquakes. The participants were survivors residing in the region's most severely affected materially and morally by the earthquake centered in Kahramanmara & scedil;, T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected from 354 individuals 18 months after the earthquake using the Demographic Information Form, Frustration Discomfort Scale, Proactive Personality Scale, Religious Attitude Scale, and Mental Health Scale. Pearson correlation, mediation, and moderation analyses were conducted. The findings indicated that higher levels of frustration intolerance were associated with increased levels of depression, anxiety, and stress. Furthermore, proactive personality was found to mediate the effect of disappointment intolerance subdimensions (entitlement, achievement, emotional intolerance, and discomfort intolerance) on mental health outcomes. However, religious attitudes did not moderate the negative impact of disappointment intolerance on depression, anxiety, and stress. The results are discussed considering existing literature, and implications for future research and intervention strategies are offered.

    The Effect of Hemodialysis Patients' Attitudes Towards Dietary Treatment on Dialysis Symptoms: A Randomized Controlled Clinical Study

    Aktepe Cosar, Dilan; Demírag, Hatice

    Objective: This study was conducted to determine the effect of hemodialysis patients' attitudes towards diet therapy on dialysis symptoms. Methods: The data of the randomized controlled study were collected from experimental (n=30) and control groups (n=30) at G & uuml;m & uuml;& scedil;hane Province Kelkit State Hospital between 1 November 2023 and 1 January 2024. Institutional and ethics committee permissions were obtained before the study. The experimental group patients were given training on diet therapy. Patient information form, hemodialysis patients' attitude scale towards diet therapy (HDTO) and dialysis symptom index (DSI) were used to collect data. Data collection tools were applied before the study (pre-test), after the training was given (intermediate measurement) and one month later (post-test). The data were analyzed using the chisquare, repeated measures ANOVA test and independent groups t-test in the SPSS 25.0 package program. Results: It was determined that the post-training measurements (intermediate measurement) of the total HDTO and sub-dimensions score averages of the hemodialysis patients in the experimental group were higher than the pre-training (pre-test) measurements; and the measurements made 1 month after the training (post-test) were lower than the measurements made immediately after the training (intermediate measurement) (p<0.05). Again, the post-training measurements (intermediate measurement) of the DSI score averages of the experimental group of patients were lower than the pre-training (pre-test) measurements (p<0.05); it was determined that the measurements made 1 month after the training were given (post-test) did not differ from the measurements made immediately after the training (intermediate measurement) (p>0.05). Conclusion: In line with the findings, it was determined that the diet therapy training provided increased hemodialysis patients' attitudes towards diet therapy and reduced dialysis symptoms.

    Emengen, Atakan; Yilmaz, Eren; Gokbel, Aykut; Uzuner, Ayse; Cakir, Ozgur; Ciftci, Ercument; Ozsoy, Bedrettin; Ergen, Anil; Caklili, Melih; Cabuk, Burak

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:Endoscopic endonasal surgery (EES) is the preferred approach for treating sellar and parasellar lesions due to its panoramic view and detailed anatomical definition. This study aims to review major arterial injuries during EES, a rare but critical complication associated with high mortality and morbidity rates.METHODS:A retrospective analysis was conducted, including 15 patients from 5640 EES procedures performed between August 1997 and February 2024 at in our center/Department of Neurosurgery. The study focuses on perioperative and postoperative management strategies, highlighting the use of oxidized regenerated cellulose (Surgicel (R))/gelatin-thrombin matrix (Floseal (R)) and multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve hemostasis.RESULTS:The incidence of major arterial injury was 0.2%, with a mean patient age of 38.4 years and a female-to-male ratio of 10:5. The most common tumors were adenomas (n = 7) and chordomas (n = 5). The most commonly bleeding arteries in 6 patients each are the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery and the paraclival carotid artery. Low-flow bleeding was observed in 10 of our patients, while high-flow bleeding was seen in 5 patients, 4 of whom were recurrent cases (P < .05). In 3 patients with high-flow bleeding from segments of the carotid artery, digital subtraction angiography was performed for stent placement or coil embolization, while in 1 patient with high-flow bleeding, digital subtraction angiography was used for monitoring cerebral blood flow. One of our patients died of a myocardial infarction at the 14th month of follow-up and 1 of our patients developed left-hemiparesis.CONCLUSION:The study underscores the importance of preoperative planning, surgical expertise, and multidisciplinary teamwork in managing major arterial injuries during EES. The authors advocate for the development of standardized treatment algorithms to improve outcomes in these patients. The findings contribute to the limited literature on managing internal carotid artery injuries in EES, emphasizing the need for ongoing research and algorithm development.

    Purely endoscopic endonasal resection of extracranial trigeminal schwannomas: a descriptive systematic review and institutional case series

    Yilmaz, Eren; Emengen, Atakan; Uzuner, Ayse; Ozsoy, Bedrettin; Gokbel, Aykut; Anik, Ihsan; Ceylan, Savas

    Background: Trigeminal schwannomas (TSs) are uncommon, benign tumors that arise from the trigeminal nerve. They can spread to the middle cranial fossa, posterior fossa, and extracranially (pterygopalatine fossa (PPF), infratemporal fossa, orbita). Among these, extracranial involvement is the least frequent. Before the advent of endoscopic techniques, these tumors were primarily removed using conventional microsurgical approaches. Due to both the rarity of extracranial localization and the increasing use of endoscopic techniques in suitable cases, reports of TSs with extracranial involvement treated via a purely endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) remain limited, typically appearing as case reports or a small subset within larger case series. This study systematically reviews the literature on extracranial TSs managed exclusively with EEA and presents two illustrative cases from our institution. Methods: A systematic search of the PubMed database was performed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines to identify studies that utilized a purely EEA for extracranial TS cases. Additionally, a retrospective review of 6118 EEA procedures conducted at our institution identified two patients with histopathologically confirmed extracranial TSs. Clinical presentation, surgical approach, outcomes, and complications were analyzed. Results: A total of 147 records were identified through database searches and reference lists. After removing duplicate records, 144 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 124 studies were excluded with justification, resulting in 23 studies being included in the review. When combined with our institutional cases, data from a total of 52 patients were analyzed. Facial numbness was the most common presenting symptom (70.5 %). The mean tumor diameter was 38.6 +/- 13.3 mm, and the gross total resection rate was 93.1 %. In our cases, both patients successfully underwent tumor resection via EEA without postoperative neurological deficits. Conclusions: EEA provides a direct, minimally invasive route for managing extracranial TSs while reducing the morbidity associated with transcranial approaches. Although optimal for purely extracranial tumors, lesions extending into the middle or posterior fossa may require a combined approach. Therefore, individualized surgical planning is essential for achieving optimal outcomes in TS management.

    The Mediating Role of Impulsivity in the Relationship Between Internet Addiction and Eating Disorders: A Study on High School Adolescents

    Bülbül, Kenan; Türkkan, Tugba; Meriç, Cagdas Salih; Yilmaz, Haci Omer

    Eating disorders are a problem that negatively affects physical and psychological development and can potentially be life-threatening. In order to successfully combat this disorder, it is important to have a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms. The aim of this study is to examine the mediating role of impulsivity in the relationship between internet addiction and eating disorders in an adolescent sample. The current research was designed in accordance with the correlational model. The study group was formed by convenience sampling method among students who continue their education in secondary schools and high schools in Trabzon. The data of the study were collected with a demographic information form prepared by the researchers, the Young Internet Addiction Test-Short Form, Rezzy Eating Disorders Scale and Barratt Impulsivity Scale-Short Form. As a result of statistical analysis, it was determined that the average eating disorder score of female students was higher than that of male students. It was found that the eating disorder scores of those whose income was less than their expenses were significantly higher than those whose income was more than their expenses. Positive significant relationships have been identified between internet addiction and eating disorders. It has also been determined that impulsive behavior plays a mediating role in the relationship between internet addiction and eating disorders. It is thought that the current findings will contribute to the understanding of the mechanisms underlying eating disorders and the development of effective prevention and intervention strategies.

    EFFECT OF TRAPEZIUS MUSCLE THICKNESS ON THE ONE-REPETITION MAXIMUM (1RM) STRENGTH

    Yilmaz, Coskun; Ceylan, Tulay; Altunbas, Adem; Soylu, Hakan Huseyin; Kavuran, Korhan; Söyler, Mehmet

    Purpose: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of trapezius muscle thickness measurements on bench press single repetition maximum (1RM) power output. Material and Methods: The study included 13 male bodybuilders who participated in national and international professional natural bodybuilding competitions and 13 healthy sedentary male subjects. Body composition, 1RM values and ultrasonographic measurements of trapezius muscle thickness were obtained from the participants. Results: The findings revealed that both the skin-to-superficial muscle tissue (R1, L1) and skin-to-deep fascia (R2, L2) distances were significantly lower in sedentary individuals compared to bodybuilders (p<0.001). Additionally, 1RM strength output was significantly higher in bodybuilders than in sedentary individuals. In sedentary individuals, a moderate negative correlation was observed between the distance between superficial muscle and 1RM, and a low positive correlation was observed between the distance between deep fascia and skin surface. In contrast, a low negative correlation was found in both parameters in bodybuilders. Conclusion: Our findings indicate that trapezius muscle thickness is significantly lower in sedentary individuals compared to bodybuilders, both in superficial and deep tissue layers. We believe that the skin surface imaging method used in our study could be an effective tool for predicting injuries in athletes. Additionally, we believe that regular imaging follow-ups in athletes could provide important information about adaptations in muscle structures resulting from applied training stimuli.

    EZH2 expression in colorectal carcinoma: an evaluation of clinicopathological and prognostic value

    Cagatay, Diren Vuslat; Balci, Mecdi Gurhan; Issin, Gizem; Demir, Fatih

    BackgroundEnhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), the catalytic subunit of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2, catalyzes trimethylation of histone H3 lysine 27 and has been implicated in tumor progression.AimOur study aims to assess the relationship between EZH2 expression and clinicopathologic data, and survival in colorectal carcinomas (CRC).Materials and methodsEZH2 immunohistochemistry was performed on tumor blocks from 124 CRC patients. Based on H-scores, cases were stratified into low- and high-expression groups. EZH2 status was correlated with demographic, clinical, and pathologic features, and overall survival was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.ResultsA total of 124 cases of CRC; 12 (9.7%) cases were classified as low EZH2 expression, and 112 (90.3%) cases were classified as high EZH2 expression. A significant association was found between EZH2 expression and microsatellite stability. High EZH2 expression was significantly enriched in microsatellite-stable tumors (p = 0.007) and in left-sided lesions (p = 0.049). No significant associations were detected with sex, stage, grade, lymph-node status, or vascular invasion. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed no difference in overall survival between low- and high-EZH2 groups (log-rank p = 0.47; hazard ratio = 1.13, 95% CI 0.45-2.85). EZH2 staining was uniformly strong in normal mucosa and adenomas, mirroring the high expression observed in most CRCs.ConclusionsEZH2 is highly expressed across the normal-adenoma-carcinoma sequence and, in our cohort, was not linked to overall survival or to most clinicopathologic parameters in CRC. The lower expression observed in a subset of MSI-H tumors warrants further investigation; present evidence remains insufficient to establish EZH2 as an independent prognostic biomarker.

    Analyzing the impact of economic growth and FDI on sustainable development goals in China: insights from ecological footprints and load capacity factors

    Güler, Ilkay; Naimoglu, Mustafa; Simsek, Orhan; Adali, Zafer; Özbek, Sefa

    This study investigates the impact of economic growth and foreign direct investment (FDI) on China's sustainable development goals (SDGs), specifically Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Life Below Water (SDG 14), and Life on Land (SDG 15). It examines ecological footprints and load capacity factors (LCFs) in cropland, fishing, forest, and grazing land using Fourier bootstrap autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration analysis and fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) estimators. The study covers the period from 1979 to 2022. Key findings reveal that while GDP and FDI often exacerbate environmental degradation, urbanization and value-added agriculture, forestry, and fishing (FAFGDP) improve sustainability in some areas. The study confirms the pollution haven hypothesis for most models, suggesting that China's legal and regulatory frameworks may inadequately mitigate FDI's adverse environmental effects. The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis is not supported as GDP growth generally increases ecological footprints. However, trade openness and urbanization show positive influences on environmental sustainability. Policy recommendations include enhancing energy efficiency, promoting renewable energy, implementing green technologies in agriculture and urban development, and revising FDI policies to incentivize environmentally friendly practices. These strategies are crucial for achieving China's sustainable development goals and mitigating the pressures of human activities on natural resources.

    Investigation of Physical and Cognitive Performance of Athletes

    Çeviker, Abdulkerim; Turgut, Abdusselam; Zambak, Omer; Yanar, Muhammed Said; Çamiçi, Furkan; Ünlil, Cisem; Eroglu, Seref

    This study aims to examine the relationship between physical performance levels and cognitive functions of male athletes aged 18-25 years competing in the Turkish Hockey Indoor 1st League. 45 athletes participated in the study, balance, flexibility and vertical jump tests and D2 Attention Test were applied. In addition to descriptive statistics, independent samples t-test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation analysis were used to analyze the data. The results revealed that attention levels did not differ significantly according to age, education, sport experience and position (p>0.05). While there was no significant relationship between physical performance variables and attention, only vertical jump values showed a significant difference between the positions (p<0.05). In addition, positive and significant correlations were observed between the sub-dimensions of the attention test. In this context, it was concluded that not only physical criteria but also cognitive skills should be systematically included in the performance evaluations of hockey athletes.

    Measuring Dysfunctional Grief due to a COVID-19 Loss: A Kurdish Validation Study of the Pandemic Grief Scale

    Karimi, Kambiz; Yaghoobi, Abolghasem; Gungor, Sunay; Karimi, Afagh; Sohrabi, Saeed

    Millions of people are grieving the loss of someone who died of COVID-19. The current study aims to validate a Kurdish version of the Pandemic Grief Scale which is a brief English-language mental health screener to identify cases of dysfunctional grief associated with a COVID-19 death. We recruited 501 participants. Participants completed the PGS, WSAS, PHQ-9, and Optimism scales. The factor structure, reliability, and validity of the PGS were analyzed. Using exploratory factor analysis (N1 = 300), we derived an one-factor structure. In confirmatory factor analysis (N2 = 201), the one-factor model showed good to excellent fitness. The PGS was positively correlated with PHQ-4, and WSAS and negatively correlated with optimism. The scale was internally consistent with a Cronbach's alpha of .79. These results support that the Kurdish version of the PGS is a valid and reliable assessment to assess the severity of dysfunctional grief associated with a COVID-19 death.

    Quantum interferometric protocol using spin-dependent displacements

    Çelik, Necati; Özen, Songul Akbulut; Engin, Burhan

    We propose a quantum interferometric protocol that leverages spin-dependent spatial displacements to enable high-precision parameter estimation beyond classical limits. By inducing a unitary coupling between a particle's spin degree of freedom and its momentum, the protocol generates entanglement between spin states and spatial positions, resulting in coherent spatial superpositions. Interferometric reconstruction of the resulting phase differences enables Heisenberg-limited sensitivity for parameters encoded in the spin Hamiltonian. As a concrete application, we demonstrate the protocol's effectiveness in magnetic field sensing, where the field is transduced into spatial interference fringes. Quantum Fisher information analysis confirms sub-shot-noise scaling, and the protocol's feasibility is discussed for physical platforms including ultracold atoms and nitrogen-vacancy centers. Our framework provides a versatile approach to quantum metrology with potential extensions to multiparameter sensing and gravitational wave detection.

    Urban memory, defined as the accumulation of human experiences within human settlements, is largely shaped around examples of spatial and architectural art. As different cultural environments participate in the formation of urban memory, the accumulation of the settlement also becomes richer. This richness, which carries the traces of civilisations through the ages to the present day, can also be observed in the & Ccedil;& ouml;mlek & ccedil;i Neighbourhood, which forms one of the eastern suburbs of Trabzon and takes its name from the pottery production industry. The neighbourhood is home to cultural layers from the Hellenistic Period Mithra Cult, the Roman and Byzantine Empires, the Komnenos Kingdom, the Ottoman and Republican periods, as well as Catholic Italians, Orthodox Greeks, Mitharist Armenians and Muslim Turks. The neighbourhood's significance extends beyond its multiple cultural layers; as an area of artistic and artisanal production, it makes a significant contribution to the city's budget and vitality. Raising awareness of the neighbourhood is crucial for the integration of fragments of the city's memory. This study compiles new findings added to the existing knowledge about & Ccedil;& ouml;mlek & ccedil;i Mahallesi. The neighbourhood, which bears witness to rich experiences alongside its architectural structure, has been examined in terms of urban memory, centred on the discipline of art history alongside its multiple cultural layers, and studied within a hermeneutic framework that incorporates meaning and interpretation through the criteria of definition, witnessing, surface research, and evaluation.

    DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGE OF PRIMARY COLONIC POORLY COHESIVE ADENOCARCINOMA EXHIBITING GASTRIC-TYPE IMMUNOHISTOCHEMISTRY PROFILE AND FOCAL SIGNET-RING DIFFERENTIATION

    ISSiN, Gizem; Tok, Merve; ÇAgATAY, Diren Vuslat; Gökçe, Oruc Numan; Aytekin, Faruk Onder

    Colorectal adenocarcinoma infrequently exhibits a diffuse, poorly cohesive architecture and a gastric-type immunophenotype, closely resembling diffuse-type gastric carcinoma and posing a formidable diagnostic challenge. This report describes a 65-year-old woman who presented with non-specific abdominal discomfort and was found by colonoscopy to have a 6.5 cm ulceroinfiltrative lesion in the hepatic flexure. Histologically, the tumor comprised discohesive cells with focal signet-ring morphology, accompanied by extensive lymphovascular and perineural invasion, necrosis, and a marked peritumoral lymphoid response. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated a gastric-type profile (CK7+, CK20-, SATB2-, CDX2 weak/focal, MUC5AC+, MUC2-), whereas panels excluding breast, urothelial, M & uuml;llerian, neuroendocrine, and hematolymphoid differentiation were uniformly negative. Comprehensive imaging and endoscopic evaluation excluded an extra-colonic primary malignancy/ carcinoma. Mismatch repair testing revealed loss of MLH1/PMS2 expression with preserved MSH2/MSH6. This case underscores that, in such uncommon colorectal variants, reliance on immunophenotype alone may mislead, and that definitive diagnosis necessitates integrated clinicopathologic correlation, exhaustive sampling, and exclusion of alternative primaries/primary malignancies/carcinomas to confirm a primary colonic poorly cohesive adenocarcinoma with focal signet-ring differentiation.

    COMPARISON OF INSTANT EFFECT OF LUMBAL AND SACROILAC SPINAL MANIPULATION ON FLEXIBILITY AND JUMPING PERFORMANCE IN PROFESSIONAL SOCCER PLAYERS

    Dönmez, Beyza; Hatik, Sefa Haktan; Büyükkirli, Ilker Can; Aydin, Emine Busra

    Recent evidence suggests that spinal manipulation can acutely improve mobility and lower-limb performance. This study compared the acute effects of lumbar and sacroiliac chiropractic manipulation on flexibility nd jump performance. Forty-five healthy male participants were randomly assigned to three groups: a Lumbar Manipulation Group (LMG; n = 15), a Sacroiliac Manipulation Group (SMG; n = 15), and a Control Group (n = 15). Flexibility was assessed using the V-Sit and Reach test, while performance was evaluated with vertical and horizontal jump tests. Lumbar manipulation was applied to the dysfunctional lumbar segment in the LMG, and sacroiliac joint manipulation was applied to the dysfunctional sacroiliac region in the SMG. No intervention was performed in the control group. Both manipulation techniques resulted in significant acute improvements in mobility and jump performance compared with the control group (p < 0.05), with the greatest improvement observed in vertical jump height (p = 0.001). No significant differences were found between the LMG and SMG. Spinal manipulation to the lumbar and sacroiliac regions appears to produce acute improvements in mobility and lower-limb power. These findings suggest that spinal manipulation may serve as a short-term performance-enhancing intervention.
