Ericek Maraslioglu, Serife
According to the findings of the Turkish General Social Survey (TGSS), feelings of loneliness are more prevalent among young people. Due to the frequent changes in values, emotions and thoughts that characterise individuals during this period of life, it can be said that they are particularly vulnerable to loneliness. Existential loneliness, a deeper form of loneliness, is also referred to as ultimate loneliness. Potential triggers for young individuals to experience existential loneliness include meaninglessness and the inability to make oneself understood or express one's feelings. However, loneliness has been associated with various mental and physical health problems, there is insufficient research on individuals experiencing existential loneliness during adolescence. Against this backdrop, the present study aims to examine the mediating role of dysfunctional attitudes in the relationship between religiosity and existential loneliness in individuals in early adulthood. Ethical approval for the study was granted by the G & uuml;m & uuml;& scedil;hane University Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Committee on 28/05/2025 (approval number 2025/5). The study included 408 participants (294 women and 114 men) aged between 18 and 29. Data were obtained using the Religiosity Scale, the Existential Loneliness Scale , and the Dysfunctional Attitudes Scale. These were analysed using IBM SPSS AMOS and the PROCESS add-on module for SPSS. Correlation analysis revealed that religiosity was negatively associated with existential loneliness and dysfunctional attitudes, while existential loneliness and dysfunctional attitudes were positively associated with each other. Additionally, the analyses revealed that dysfunctional attitudes played a mediating role in the relationship between religiosity and existential loneliness. The mediation analysis conducted within the scope of the study was performed using the PROCESS macro (Model 4). Interventions targeting dysfunctional attitudes and promoting a healthier self-concept/self-image could be crucial in safeguarding young adults against existential loneliness. These results shed light on potential psychological mechanisms that explain the effect of religiosity on loneliness experienced by young people.

Dogan, Onur
This study aims to examine the occupational traumas experienced by occupational safety specialists following fatal, limb-loss, and serious injury-related workplace accidents, as well as the impact on their safety perceptions and the preventive strategies they develop. This research was conducted using a phenomenological approach, which is a type of qualitative research design. In-depth semi-structured interviews were carried out with 14 occupational safety experts working in various regions of Turkey. Criterion sampling was used to select participants. The data obtained were systematically analysed using thematic analysis. Interviews continued until data saturation was reached, and recurring patterns were observed. The research process and the reporting of findings were structured in accordance with the COREQ checklist. The study identified three main themes: occupational trauma, altered risk perception, and new safety strategies. These reflect specialistic psychological and professional changes following workplace accidents. The study offers insights into how occupational safety specialists adapt their policies and improve safety culture after serious accidents. It emphasises changes in precautionary approaches and their role in fostering safer workplaces. Key policy and cultural enhancement recommendations are also proposed.

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.

Bingöl, Ozhan
PurposeThis study aims to propose a novel fractional-order neural network-based fixed-time sliding mode controller to address the challenges of chaotic satellite attitude control, synchronization and anti-synchronization. By integrating fractional-order dynamics and neural network-based estimation, the proposed approach enhances robustness and adaptability in stabilizing complex systems.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed control scheme introduces a novel sliding surface that leverages fractional calculus to improve convergence speed and control flexibility. A neural network is used to adaptively estimate unknown error dynamics, compensating for uncertainties in the system. The fixed-time stability property guarantees convergence within a predefined time, independent of initial conditions. Theoretical stability proofs and numerical simulations are conducted to validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.FindingsThe results demonstrate that the proposed controller effectively stabilizes chaotic satellite attitude dynamics and ensures reliable synchronization and anti-synchronization. The approach exhibits strong robustness against system uncertainties and external disturbances while achieving fixed-time convergence.Originality/valueThis work advances the field by integrating fractional-order dynamics with a neural network-based adaptive mechanism in a fixed-time sliding mode control framework. The proposed method enhances convergence properties and robustness in controlling chaotic satellite attitude systems, providing a novel and effective solution for complex nonlinear dynamics.

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.

İncele - Derleme MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ2Purely 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.

BackgroundSystemic inflammation contributes to arrhythmogenesis in acute coronary syndromes, but its role in NSTEMI-related ventricular arrhythmias remains poorly defined. The pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV) is a novel composite biomarker reflecting immune and thrombotic activity derived from routine blood counts. This study aimed to assess the association between PIV and the risk of sustained VT/VF in NSTEMI.MethodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 1,788 NSTEMI patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention were analyzed. The primary endpoint was the occurrence of sustained VT or VF during hospitalization. PIV was calculated as (neutrophil x platelet x monocyte)/lymphocyte. Logistic regression, ROC analysis, Kaplan - Meier curves, reclassification indices (NRI, IDI), and restricted cubic spline modeling were used.ResultsVT/VF occurred in 34 patients (1.9%). Those with VT/VF had significantly higher PIV values (median 1132 vs. 329, p < 0.001). In multivariable analysis, PIV remained an independent predictor (OR: 1.356 per 1000 unit increase; 95% CI: 1.028-1.787; p = 0.031). The risk of VT/VF rose progressively across PIV quartiles (Q4 vs. Q1 OR: 4.0, p for trend < 0.001). Adding PIV to conventional predictors improved risk classification (NRI: +0.089; IDI: 0.007). Kaplan - Meier analysis showed significantly reduced arrhythmia-free survival in high-PIV tertiles (log-rank p < 0.001), and cubic spline modeling revealed a non-linear association with increased arrhythmic risk at higher PIV levels.ConclusionsElevated PIV is independently associated with malignant ventricular arrhythmias in NSTEMI. As an accessible biomarker, PIV may aid early arrhythmic risk stratification and guide clinical surveillance strategies.

Objectives: The study aimed to develop a measurement method that yielded objective data for the clinical assessment of cervical dystonia using a Kinect camera system. Patients and methods: This double-blind, parallel-group method development study included 22 patients with cervical dystonia (3 males, 19 females; mean age: 47 years; range, 34 to 60 years) and 20 healthy individuals (13 females, 7 males; mean age: 32 years; age range, 22 to 65). Using cameras and a computer software, the head-neck postures of 40 healthy participants were recorded in the virtual environment. Using the device, 22 patients with cervical dystonia were examined both at rest and while moving with different parts of the body. Two different experts evaluated and scored the cases using the Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS) and the Tsui scale. Results: A three-way comparison revealed interclass correlations between the coefficients of 0.799 (79.9%) and 0.784 (78.4%) for at rest and with movement, respectively. The two-way comparison of the experts revealed correlation coefficients of 0.717 (71.7%) and 0.692 (69.2%) for at rest and with movement, respectively. A three-way comparison of the device and Expert 1 and Expert 2 TWSTRS scores revealed interrater agreement values of 0.6 and 0.8 (good) and 0.6 and 0.8 (good) while at rest and with movement, respectively. A three-way comparison of the device and Expert 1 and Expert 2 Tsui scores revealed interrater agreement values of 0.6 and 0.8 (good) and 0.4 and 0.6 (moderate) while at rest and with movement, respectively. Conclusion: The newly developed system was a sensitive tool for use in the kinematic evaluation of patients with cervical dystonia and could prove beneficial in diagnosis and treatment follow-up.

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.

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.

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.

Pala, Fahrettin; Görgün, Mehmet Ragip; Torusdag, Mustafa; Demirtas, Furkan; Barut, Abdulkadir
The current study explores the impact of global gold price uncertainty on the stock markets of the MIST countries: Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and T & uuml;rkiye. The study examined the crisis periods that started with the COVID-19 pandemic and continued with the Russia-Ukraine war, which caused uncertainty in gold and oil prices. Based on this, the study's data set consists of the daily closing prices between March 11th, 2020, and January 31st, 2023. The obtained data were analyzed using the Least Squares (ICC) and panel quantile regression (PQR) methods. There is a significant positive correlation between oil prices and oil volatility index with stock prices for the economies of T & uuml;rkiye, Indonesia, and Mexico, and a significant negative correlation between gold prices and gold volatility index with stock prices for developing countries. There is also a significant positive relationship between gold and oil prices and stock prices for the developed country, South Korea's economy. A significant negative correlation has also been proposed between gold and oil volatility indices and South Korean stock prices. This study provides a novel contribution to the literature by examining the impact of simultaneous global crises namely the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war-on the stock market indices of MIST countries through the lens of uncertainty in both gold and oil markets. While most existing studies focus on a single commodity or analyze crises in isolation, this research distinguishes itself by investigating the combined effects of two major global shocks and incorporating both price and volatility-based uncertainty indicators. The findings suggest that policymakers should develop country-specific and differentiated financial stability policies by taking into account the uncertainties in gold and oil markets during crisis periods.

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.

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.

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.
