- MakaleYalnız künye2025Scopus SJRQ2Concentrations, distribution, and source appointment of heavy metal/loids in non-clastic sedimentary rocks: a case study of early jurassic chert, northeastern türkiye
Saydam Eker, Çiğdem; Kaygusuz, Abdullah; Arı, Uğur Volkan
The Current study used geochemical indicators such as the geo-accumulation index (Igeo), the Enrichment Factor (EF), and the contamination factor (CF) to evaluate the regional distributions and accumulations of various heavy metal/loids (HM; Co, Mo, Pb, Zn, Cu, Ni, As, Cd) in early Jurassic cherts in the Gümüşhane (NE Türkiye). Five stratigraphic section measurement (MS) areas (Tedaş, Alemdar, Akçakale, Tekke, and Pirahmet) and one borehole (Eskibağlar well) were selected for sampling. Major and trace element compositions of the selected 25 samples were measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Calculated geochemical indexes indicated that Alemdar, Tekke MS, and Eskibağlar well samples were polluted with Pb, Zn, Cu, As, and Cd, Tedaş, Akçakale, and Pirahmet MS samples were polluted with Cd. Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC) and principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that Zn, Pb, and Cu contaminating the Alemdar, Tekke MS, and Eskibağlar well samples were of ore mineralization origin, As was of terrigenous input, and Cd was probably of diatom origin. PCC and PCA showed that the Cd contaminating the Tedaş, Akçakale, and Pirahmet MS samples was probably of diatom origin, and the other metals found at normal levels in the samples were due to terrigenous input. The Early Jurassic period, which was a rift environment in the Gümüşhane region, is thought to have produced the cherts of the Alemdar, Tekke MS, and Eskibağlar well samples in a graben environment, while the cherts of the Tedaş, Akçakale, and Pirahmet MS were deposited in a horst environment. δU values, Ni/Co, and Vi/(V + Ni) ratios indicated that oxic-anoxic conditions were generally prevalent in the depositional environment, but redox conditions did not affect the abundance and distribution of HMs. These findings provide critical information for assessing heavy metal/loid enrichment and contamination potential not only in clastic sedimentary rocks, river sediments, and soils but also in non-clastic sedimentary rocks.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2025Scopus SJRQ1ChatGPT-4 in Nursing Research: A Methodological Evaluation of Bias Risk in Randomized Controlled Trials
Tuncer, Metin; Tuncer, Gülsüm Zekiye
Background: Conducting bias assessments in systematic reviews is a time-consuming process that involves subjective judgments. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to perform these assessments can potentially save time and enhance consistency. Nevertheless, the efficacy of AI technologies in conducting bias assessments remains inadequately explored. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ChatGPT-4o in assessing bias using the revised Cochrane RoB2 tool, focusing on randomized controlled trials in nursing. Methods: ChatGPT-4o was provided with the RoB2 assessment guide in the form of a PDF document and instructed to perform bias assessments for the 80 open-access RCTs included in the study. The results of the bias assessments conducted by ChatGPT-4o for each domain were then compared with those of the meta-analysis authors using Cohen's weighted kappa analysis. Results: Weighted Cohen's kappa values showed better agreement in bias in the measurement of the outcome (D4, 0.22) and bias arising from the randomization process (D1, 0.20), while negative values in bias due to missing outcome data (D3, −0.12) and bias in the selection of the reported result (D5, −0.09) indicated poor agreement. The highest accuracy was observed in D5 (0.81), and the lowest in D1 (0.60). F1 scores were highest in bias due to deviations from intended interventions (D2, 0.74) and lowest in D3 (0.00) and D5 (0.00). Specificity was higher in D5 (0.93) and D3 (0.82), while sensitivity and precision were low in these domains. Conclusions: The agreement between ChatGPT-4o and the meta-analysis studies in the same RCT assessments is generally low. This indicates that ChatGPT-4o requires substantial enhancements before it can be used as a reliable tool for bias risk assessments. Clinical Relevance: The AI–based tools have the potential to expedite bias assessment in systematic reviews. However, this study demonstrates that ChatGPT-4o, in its current form, lacks sufficient consistency, indicating that such tools should be integrated cautiously and used under continuous human oversight, particularly in evidence-based evaluations that inform clinical decision-making.

İncele - MakaleYalnız künye2025Scopus SJRQ1Application of SnO2@CTAB-modified zeolitic clay nanocatalyst for the efficient sonocatalytic degradation of methylene blue in wastewater: Structural characterization, catalytic activity, and mechanistic insights
Önen, Hakan; Kıranşan, Murat
This study investigates the sonocatalytic degradation of dyes in wastewater using SnO2 nanoparticles and a hybrid SnO2@CTAB-modified zeolitic clay (SnO2@M-ZLT) nanocatalyst. The catalysts were synthesized in solution medium and characterized by XRF, XRD, FT-IR, SEM, TEM, and nitrogen adsorption-desorption analyses, confirming their successful formation and suitable surface properties. The effects of critical parameters including initial dye concentration, catalyst dosage, pH, water matrix, and radical scavengers on the removal of methylene blue (MB) were systematically evaluated. Under optimal conditions (10 g L−1 catalyst, 10 mg L−1 MB, Ultrasonic power: 300 W/L, pH for MB: Natural pH), the SnO2@M-ZLT nanocatalyst achieved 97.40 % ± 1.12 % degradation within 120 min, while 95.05 % ± 1.25 % efficiency was observed at 5 g L−1 catalyst and 5 mg L−1 MB. The sonocatalytic degradation of MB over SnO₂@M-ZLT followed pseudo-first-order kinetics, with kapp values ranging from 0.004 to 0.082 mg L−1 min−1 depending on catalyst dosage, 0.012–0.083 mg L−1 min−1 with varying MB concentration, and 0.030–0.055 mg L−1 min−1 across different water matrices. The optimal degradation efficiency was obtained at a catalyst dosage of 2–2.5 g L−1, an initial MB concentration of 5–10 mg L−1, and in distilled water, confirming the strong dependence of the reaction rate on both operational and environmental factors. Reusability tests showed that SnO2@M-ZLT retained high catalytic activity after five cycles. These results highlight the strong potential of SnO2@M-ZLT as an efficient and stable nanocatalyst for sustainable wastewater treatment.

This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial properties and phytochemical composition of pyrolysis liquids obtained from the biowaste of the mealworm Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) adults and larvae. Biowaste was subjected to pyrolysis at 295±5 °C for 7 h under a nitrogen atmosphere using a laboratory-scale system equipped with a dual condensation unit to separate light and heavy fractions. The biowaste pyrolysis liquid (BPL) were purified and analysed for their chemical content using LC–MS/MS, which identified seven key phenolic compounds, with cinnamic acid being the most abundant (358.05 µg/g), followed by salicylic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid and naringenin. Notably, the most of flavonoid derivatives were either absent or below detection limits, indicating the extract’s phenolic acid-dominated profile. The antibacterial activity of BPL was assessed against two gram-negative (E. coli ATCC-25922, P. aeruginosa ATCC-27853) and two gram-positive (E. faecalis ATCC-23212, S. aureus ATCC-25923) bacterial strains using the agar well diffusion method. The results demonstrated significant antibacterial effects, particularly against S. aureus (29.5±0.3 mm) and P. aeruginosa (23.5±0.2 mm), followed by E. coli (21.7±0.1 mm). These findings highlight the potential of insect-derived pyrolysis liquids as natural antibacterial agents, driven largely by their phenolic acid content. This study underscores the value of biowaste valorisation for developing bioactive compounds with potential applications in antimicrobial therapies.

In this study, essential oil from the aerial parts of Gelasia sericea (Aucher ex DC.) Zaika, Sukhor. & N. Kilian was extracted via hydrodistillation using a Clevenger apparatus. GC-MS/FID analysis determined aldehydes (28.31%) as the dominant group, with eucalyptol (8.71%) as the main constituent. Antioxidant activities were exhibited using DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, with the essential oil demonstrating relatively higher antioxidant properties. The essential oil also showed higher levels of bioactive components, including total antioxidant capacity (160.26 mg AA eq./100 mL), total phenolic content (21.57 mg GA eq./100 mL), and total flavonoid content (14.85 mg QE eq./100 mL). While G. sericea essential oil demonstrated some antioxidant activity, it was significantly lower compared to the reference standard ascorbic acid (AA). The antimicrobial results showed relatively higher antimicrobial activity compared to most bacterial and fungal strains, as evidenced by lower MIC and MBC values and larger inhibition zones. Nevertheless, chloramphenicol (CH) and nalidixic acid (NA) continually showed superior antimicrobial efficacy, with the lowest MIC and MBC values and the largest inhibition zones. The essential oil also demonstrated potent enzyme inhibitory activity, especially against CA-II, AChE, and BChE, with the lowest IC50 value observed for CA-II, highlighting its potential as a potent enzyme inhibitor. However, the essential oil exhibited comparatively greater inhibition against AChE, BChE and α-amylase but was less effective overall. These findings suggest that the G. sericea essential oil has important antioxidant potential and enzyme inhibitory activity, while the essential oil shows varying efficacy across different enzymes.

Ozyurt, E.; Wang, Y.C.
This study examines the influence of chord pre-stress on the behaviour and load resistance of Circular Hollow Section (CHS) X-joints with High Strength Steel (HSS) at various temperatures. This investigation uses a total number of seven hundred and four Finite Element simulation results to evaluate the level of accuracy of current Eurocode and CIDECT design guidelines in predicting the high-temperature resistance of these joints. The numerical simulations investigate the effects of changing brace-to-chord diameter (β), chord semi-diameter-to-thickness (γ), and brace-to-chord thickness (τ) ratios, as well as different prestressing levels (np) and temperatures (θ). The γ and τ ratios have a limited effect on the normalised joint strength, but the β ratio, and the prestressing level are highly influential. At ambient temperature, the CIDECT design approach is a more suitable method for calculating the chord pre-stress reduction factors for S355 joints. For HSS X-joints, the constant modification coefficient of 0.80 is inadequate, and this paper has proposed a new modification coefficient as a function of the pre-stress level. At elevated temperatures, the ambient temperature resistance of CHS X-joints can be modified by the reduction factor of the Young's modulus for S355 steel and that of the yield stress for S960 steel.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the mediation role of life engagement in resilience and trauma levels of individuals experiencing the earthquake on February 6, 2023 in the city of Kahramanmaraş in Türkiye. The sample of this descriptive and correlational study included 1406 individuals. The questionnaire data was obtained through Google Forms and other data collection tools were Socio-demographic Information Form, Trauma Level Determination Scale, Short Resilience Scale and Life Engagement Scale. To analyse the data, frequency (percentage, arithmetic mean) and correlation analyses were used. Depending on the findings of the study, the resilience and trauma levels were negatively correlated, whereas the resilience and life engagement levels were positively correlated. Furthermore, the life engagement levels were negatively correlated with trauma levels while they were positively correlated with resilience. It was found that the life engagement played an mediation role in resilience and trauma levels of individuals experiencing the earthquake in Kahramanmaraş, Türkiye. In this study, we found that the life engagement has an important role in resilience and trauma levels of individuals. We are of the opinion that the findings of this study might help researchers and conductors to plan and perform effective strategies for post-impact phase of an earthquake.

This study aimed to examine the temporal and spatial variation of drought in the upper Moulouya Basin, Morocco’s arid and semi-arid region. For this purpose, the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was calculated at various time scales (3, 6, 12, and 24 months) using precipitation data collected from eight stations between 1977 and 2019. The data trends were analysed by classical modified Mann-Kendall (MMK) and Innovative Trend Analysis (ITA). Severe drought events were identified in the 1980s, and 1998–2000, while exceptionally wet years were recorded in periods 1996–1997 and 2008–2012. SPI trend analyses revealed a holistic increase on almost all timescales and at all stations. The increase was found to be higher in more extended time scales. Except for a few stations, SPI values in dry, normal, and wet classes of ITA method increased in the second half (1998–2019) compared to the first half (1978–1997). The ITA method detected different trends for different classes at two stations compared to the MMK method. This situation revealed the importance of analysing the trends of different methods in drought studies. These results are essential for water resources management and adaptation to climate change in arid and semi-arid zones.

Cavusoglu, Ibrahim
Cemented paste backfill (CPB) improves underground stability by filling mine voids, but the high cost of cement presents economic challenges for miners. While alternative binders and admixtures have been explored, the combined impact of slag substitution and alkali-free (AF) accelerators on CPB performance is not yet fully understood. This study investigates the influences of slag substitution and AF accelerators on the performance of CPB through a comprehensive experimental approach. CPB samples were prepared with slag substitution ratios of 25%, 50%, and 75%, maintaining a fixed AF accelerator content of 0.4%. Various test techniques, including unconfined comprehensive strength (UCS), mercury intrusion porosimetry (MIP), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermal analysis (TG/DTA), were employed to study their mechanical and microstructural properties. Monitoring tests were also conducted to thoroughly assess the performance of CPB, including suction (self-desiccation), electrical conductivity (EC), and volumetric water content (VWC) tests. The results showed that the PCI50–SL50–0.4AF sample exhibited 2.3 times higher strength than the control sample for 28 days, with this improvement attributed to enhanced pozzolanic reactions contributing to better microstructural compactness. Monitoring tests revealed accelerated hydration kinetics and reduced water content in slag-reinforced CPB, highlighting the significant role of AF accelerator in facilitating rapid setting and improving early-age mechanical strength. Microstructural findings revealed that porosity decreased and C–S–H gel formation increased in the specimen containing slag and AF accelerators, contributing to increased strength and durability. These findings highlight the potential usage of slag and AF accelerators to enhance CPB’s mechanical, microstructural, and hydration properties, offering significant benefits for mining operations by improving backfill performance, while contributing to environmental sustainability through reduced cement consumption and associated CO2 emissions.

In this study; aroma components, some biochemical properties (sugar amount (HPLC-DAD), vitamin C amount, water-soluble solids amount) and antioxidant capacities (bioactive component contents and antioxidant capacity amounts) of V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits were determined. Methanol extraction was applied to the fruit samples, which were made homogeneous after being shredded. Aroma (volatile) components were determined by HS-SPME/GC-MS (Headspace-Solid Phase Micro Extraction) technique combined with Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry. Total antioxidant activity (TAC), total phenolic substance amounts (TPC) and total flavonoid substance amounts (TFC), which are among the bioactive component contents, were examined. As antioxidant capacity, the amount of free radical scavenging (DPPH and ABTS) activity and the amount of ferric (III) ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) capacity were determined. As a result of the analyses, 27 and 33 aroma compounds were determined in V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits, respectively. The main components found among the aroma compounds are α-terpineol (22.67%), (E)-2-hexenal (17.63%), and linalool (9.78%). in the V. arctostaphylos fruit. V. myrtillus fruits were determined to contain menthol (22.93%), α-eudesmol (11.50%), and germacrene D (8.33%). In addition, the chemical classes of aroma compounds identified were monoterpenoid, aldehyde, hydrocarbon, alcohol, ester, sesquiterpene, and sesquiterpenoid classes in V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits. Moreover, the total sugar amount in V. arctostaphylos fruits was found to be 11.30%, and the total sugar amount in V. myrtillus fruits was 13.94%. The amount of vitamin C in V. arctostaphylos fruits was detected as 33.26 mg/kg, and the amount of vitamin C in V. myrtillus fruits was contained as 44.17 mg/kg. The amount of water-soluble solids in V. arctostaphylos and V. myrtillus fruits was determined to be 12.13% and 13.43%, respectively. The amounts of total sugar, vitamin C and water-soluble solids in V. myrtillus fruits were higher than the amounts in V. arctostaphylos fruits. According to the antioxidant results, the TAC, TPC, DPPH, ABTS and FRAP values of the methanol extract obtained from V. myrtillus fruits, excluding TFC, demonstrated higher antioxidant features than the values attained from V. arctostaphylos fruits.

This study was carried out in order to increase the usage areas of Al 7075 alloy, which is preferred as an engineering material in the aerospace industry, defense industry and automotive industry, in high temperature applications, wear resistance in different environments and corrosion resistance in aggressive environments. For this purpose, the focus was on the growth of Al2O3 and Al2O3:TiB2 doped composite coatings on the surface of Al 7075 aluminum alloy by the MAO method, and the structural, morphological, corrosion, adhesion and wear properties of the grown coatings in three different environments (atmospheric conditions, brine containing 3.5 % NaCl and oil). Firstly, Al2O3 coatings were grown in electrolytic solution number 1. Secandly, Al2O3:TiB2 doped composite coatings were grown in electrolytic solution number 2 and the phase structure, microstructure and chemical composition of the grown coatings were determined by X-ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, respectively. The abrasion behavior of the coatings in three different environments was determined by a pin-on disc abrasion tester, adhesion resistances were determined by a Scratch Test, and corrosion resistance was determined by a potentiodynamic polarization tester. It was observed that dense and uniform coatings were grown on the surfaces of TiB2 nanoparticle-added (Al2O3:TiB2) coatings, porosity and pore sizes on the surfaces of the coatings were reduced and microcracks were reduced. In addition, it was determined that the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of composite coatings (Al2O3:TiB2) grown with nanoparticle addition increased, and coatings with high bond strength with the substrate were grown.

Kostas, Kahraman; Yasa Kostas, Rabia; Just, Mike; Lones, Michael A.
With the proliferation of devices on the Internet of Things (IoT), ensuring their security has become paramount. Device identification (DI), which distinguishes IoT devices based on their traffic patterns, plays a crucial role in both differentiating devices and identifying vulnerable ones, closing a serious security gap. However, existing approaches to DI that build machine learning models often overlook the challenge of model generalizability across diverse network environments. In this study, we propose a novel framework to address this limitation and to evaluate the generalizability of DI models across data sets collected within different network environments. Our approach involves a two-step process: first, we develop a feature and model selection method that is more robust to generalization issues by using a genetic algorithm with external feedback and datasets from distinct environments to refine the selections. Second, the resulting DI models are then tested on further independent datasets to robustly assess their generalizability. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by empirically comparing it to alternatives, highlighting how fundamental limitations of commonly employed techniques such as sliding window and flow statistics limit their generalizability. Moreover, we show that statistical methods, widely used in the literature, are unreliable for device identification due to their dependence on network-specific characteristics rather than device-intrinsic properties, challenging the validity of a significant portion of existing research. Our findings advance research in IoT security and device identification, offering insight into improving model effectiveness and mitigating risks in IoT networks.

In the present study, einkorn wheat flour (Tiriticum monococcum L.) was incorporated into a special dried bread (peksimet) formulation produced from sourdough breads at different concentrations (0–10–20–30–40 and 50 g 100 g−1) and some physicochemical and nutritional (total dietary fiber, resistant starch, glycemic index, acrylamide content) characteristics and sensory properties of the samples were investigated. The total dietary fiber content of the bread samples ranged from 3.00 to 6.17 g 100 g−1. The highest acrylamide content (247.54 µg/kg) was obtained using an einkorn flour level of 40 g 100 g−1. Einkorn wheat flour resulted in a significant decrease (from 94.61 to 89.23) in the glycemic index level of the bread samples (p < 0.05). Bread enriched with einkorn wheat flour (50.0 g 100 g−1) received the highest overall acceptability score. In conclusion, einkorn wheat flour could be used in a special dried bread formulation to enhance its nutritional quality.

Aim: The aims of this study were to evaluate hand grip strength in young adults, to examine its relationship with anthropometric values, and to determine which values are predictive. Subject and methods: This prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with 913 healthy young adults aged 18–30 years. A questionnaire form was administered in face-to-face interviews, and anthropometric measurements including height, body weight, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), mid-upper arm circumference (MAC), neck circumference (NC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF), and hand grip strength (kg) were performed for each participant. Results: Hand grip strength was significantly higher for men than for women (p < 0.001), and was also higher in obese and overweight people compared to underweight participants (p < 0.001). Hand grip strength was correlated with weight, height, body mass index, MAC, TSF, WC, and NC (p < 0.001). The predictive ability of anthropometric measurements in estimating hand grip strength was thus demonstrated in a large population of healthy young adults. Significant regression was found, with an R2 value of 0.556. Hand grip strength increased by 0.282 kg for each centimeter of height and by 0.135 kg for each centimeter of MAC. The hand grip strength of male participants was 0.424 kg greater than that of females. Height, MAC, TSF, and sex were significant predictors of hand grip strength. Conclusion: According to our results, variability in hand grip strength among healthy subjects can be explained by height, MAC, TSF, WC, HC, age, and sex. The estimation of hand grip strength could be established based on these demographic and anthropometric variables.

The Marmara Region is an active tectonic region in northwestern Türkiye, which comprises some important strike-slip active fault mechanisms and important tectonic units, located near the western part of the North Anatolian Fault Zone. In the historical and instrumental period, the Marmara Region experienced large/devastating earthquakes. Considering this continuous activity, in this study, we investigate the tectonic structure and performed future seismic hazard estimation of the region based on some seismotectonic parameters. For this evaluation, we plot the Coulomb stress change maps of 1912 Mürefte-Şarköy, 1953 Yenice-Gönen and 1999 İzmit mainshocks with the earthquakes (MW ≥ 4.5) that occurred in the study region after 2003. For the estimation of b-value, occurrence probabilities and return periods of earthquakes, we used a homogenous local seismicity catalogue consisting of 119.029 events for the period between 1912 and 2023. In the findings of this study, the lower b-values and increasing Coulomb stress changes which are trigger stress failure compatible are observed in the west and northwest of the Marmara Sea. In contrast, the higher/moderate b-values and decreasing Coulomb stress values are observed in the east and southeast of the Marmara Sea. The results of probability assessments show that an earthquake with Mw = 6.5 may occur with a probability of 98% in the west of the Marmara Sea after 2025. As a remarkable fact, a comprehensive assessment of these types of variables will supply important findings for earthquake hazard and potential in the study region.

Seferoğlu, Mehmet Tevfik; Seferoğlu, Ayşegül Güneş; Akpınar, Muhammet Vefa; Iribagiza, Divine
The condition of the highway base/subbase layers is critical for the durability and performance of the road pavement. Compaction control plays an important role in determining the ability of these layers to support traffic loads, their strength and stability. Various methods are used to evaluate the compaction rate of subbase layers; such as nuclear density gauge (NDG) and sand cone. These methods also have their own limitations and difficulties. While the NDG test is used to determine the compaction percentages, the lightweight deflectometer (LWD) test is used as a relatively more practical, portable and non-destructive method to measure the surface stiffness modulus (Emod). In this study, the possibility of using the surface stiffness modulus obtained by the LWD test in the subbase layer instead of each other is investigated by establishing a correlation between the compaction percentages determined by the NDG test. To investigate how well the LWD results are in line with established methods, only correlation and regression analysis of SPSS software are focused on. Correlation analysis helped us assess the strength and direction of the relationships between LWD modulus values and compaction percentages, while regression analysis provided insights into the predictive capability of LWD in estimating compaction outcomes. These methods helped evaluate the reliability and accuracy of LWD as a compaction control tool, providing a deeper understanding of the role of LWD in highway subbase layer assessment.

Background: Cybersecurity has become a critical issue with the increasing use of digital platforms in healthcare. Understanding nursing students' cybersecurity practices, perceptions, and cybercrime awareness is essential for improving healthcare security and developing strategies to mitigate cyber threats. Aim: This study aimed to determine nursing students' cybersecurity practices, perceptions, and cybercrime awareness. Design: A descriptive cross-sectional design was used. Setting: The study was conducted between April and June 2024 at a School of Nursing within a public university in Türkiye. Participants: A total of 434 undergraduate nursing students participated in the study. Methods: Data were collected face-to-face using a paper-and-pencil technique. The data collection tools used included the Personal Information Form, Cyber Security Scale (CSS), and Cyber Crime Awareness Scale (CAS). Data analysis utilised descriptive statistical methods, Pearson correlation analysis, independent samples t-test, ANOVA, and linear regression analysis. Results: The study revealed that 92.9 % of the students had not received any prior cybersecurity education. The mean CSS score was 87.50 ± 11.40, and the mean CAS score was 174.75 ± 36.75. A moderate positive correlation was found between the CSS and CAS scores (r = 0.576, p < 0.01). A positive relationship was found between computer usage skills and CSS scores (r = 0.190, p < 0.01), while a weak negative correlation was observed between internet usage duration and CSS scores (r = −0.095, p < 0.05). No relationships were identified between the CSS score and age, gender, or cybersecurity education. Linear regression analysis showed that higher computer usage skill levels were significantly associated with increased CSS scores (B = 1.129, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of integrating cybersecurity education into the nursing curriculum. Enhancing cybersecurity awareness and practices may help protect patient data and support safer healthcare by better preparing nursing students for cyber threats.

Background: Boys often experience significant fear and anxiety before the circumcision procedure, and postoperative pain is linked to increased fear and anxiety in children. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of mandala coloring on fear, anxiety, emotional symptoms and postoperative pain of circumcised children. Methods: This randomized controlled trial was conducted in the pediatric clinic of a state hospital in eastern Turkey. Children were divided into two groups using a computer program: Group 1 (control) included children with no intervention (n = 40), and Group 2 (mandala coloring) included children who received mandala coloring (n = 38). Statistical analyses were performed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to assess the normality of the data, the chi-squared test to compare categorical variables between groups, the paired samples t-test for within-group comparisons, the independent samples t-test for between-group comparisons, and mixed model repeated measures ANOVA (rANOVA) to evaluate the temporal changes in pain and anxiety scores across groups. Findings: Children's fear, anxiety, emotional symptom, and postoperative pain scores were similar in all groups before the nursing intervention, and the fear, anxiety, and emotional symptom scores of the mandala painting intervention group were statistically lower than the control group after the nur csing intervention. The pain scores of the children in the mandala coloring group were lower than the control group after surgery. Conclusion: Mandala coloring intervention can be used to reduce emotional symptoms, fear, anxiety and postoperative pain in children aged 6–12 years undergoing circumcision.

Psychoeducation after a traumatic event can help reduce negative effects by providing a cognitive framework for one’s experience. It can also enable trauma survivors to increase their ability to help coping. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of psychoeducation on hope, loneliness and depression in nursing students who experienced 6 February 2023 Turkey earthquake. The study, which was conducted in experimental design, included 40 students who experienced the February 6 earthquake. 20 students were assigned to the psychoeducation group and 20 students to the control group. Students in the psychoeducation group received six sessions of psychoeducation, while students in the control group were not intervened. ’Personal Information Form’, ‘Beck Hopelessness Scale’, ‘UCLA Loneliness Scale’ and ‘Beck Depression Scale’ were used to collect the data. Mean, standard deviation and percentage calculations, chi-square test and t test were used to analyze the data. Sociodemographic characteristics of the students in the psychoeducation and control groups were similar except for the place of residence (p > 0.05). It was determined that the mean score of the hope sub-dimension of the ’Beck Hopelessness Scale’ was statistically significantly higher in the control group (p < 0.05). It was determined that there was no statistically significant difference between the students in the psychoeducation and control groups in terms of hopelessness levels and mean scores of ‘UCLA Loneliness Scale’ and ‘Beck Depression Scale’ (p > 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference between the students in the psychoeducation and control groups in terms of depression levels (p < 0.05). In conclusion, psychoeducation was partially effective on hope and depression and not on loneliness in students who experienced the earthquake. Students in the psychoeducation group had lower levels of depression. It is recommended that students experiencing natural disasters such as earthquakes should be monitored by a specialized psychologist and the duration of psychoeducation should be regulated.
