- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Determining the Factors Affecting Football Fans' Satisfaction with Video Assistant Referee (VAR) Technology; [Futbol Taraftarlarının Video Yardımcı Hakem (VAR)’e Yönelik Memnuniyetlerini Etkileyen Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi]
Avci, İbrahim; Ayik, Öznur
Video Assistant Referee (VAR) technology has been introduced in the sports industry as a decision support system designed to assist referees in making the correct decisions when overseeing a sporting event. In Turkey, VAR technology has been deployed to lessen controversies in football matches, but it has not completely eliminated them. As a result, it is crucial to establish whether fans, a key stakeholder in the sports sector, are satisfied with VAR technology. In this context, the study aims to investigate the effects of football fans' perceived value and identification with VAR technology on their satisfaction with it. Furthermore, the mediating role of attitudes towards the technology and the moderating role of knowledge about VAR technology will also be examined. The study used the snowball sampling method, and data were obtained via an online survey, with 411 fans participating over the data collection period. Using the fan data, Structural Equation Modeling was performed using the AMOS tool, and the study hypotheses were tested. The research revealed that identification and perceived value of VAR technology have a positive effect on satisfaction with this technology, with attitude toward technology acting as a mediator. The level of knowledge about VAR technology has a moderating effect in the relationship between satisfaction and perceived value. These findings have practical and theoretical implications for both the sports sector and the academic discipline.

Genç, Berna
This study reports the production, structural characterization, and preliminary cytotoxicity evaluation of an extracellular polysaccharide (EPS) synthesized by Enterococcus faecium SL60, a strain isolated from traditional Siyez (einkorn) sourdough. Analytical techniques including GC-MS, FTIR, XRD, zeta potential, and elemental analysis were applied to characterize the EPS. The purified EPS was found to be a water-soluble, negatively charged, amorphous heteropolysaccharide predominantly composed of mannose and glucose, with minor proportions of rhamnose, arabinose, galactose, and xylose. The total carbohydrate yield was 7.6 g/L. FTIR confirmed the presence of typical carbohydrate functional groups, while zeta potential analysis indicated a moderate surface charge (−9.71 mV), implying colloidal stability. Cytotoxicity evaluation using the CCD-1079Sk fibroblast cell line showed no significant toxicity at concentrations up to 500 µg/mL. These findings highlight the potential of SL60-derived EPS as a safe bioactive compound with possible applications in functional food development and health-related products.

Tuncer, Metin; Tuncer, Gülsüm Zekiye
Objective: This study was aimed at investigating the brain drain-related perspectives of nursing students who wanted to emigrate in depth. Methods: The study has the descriptive qualitative research design. The population of the study comprised 13 senior nursing students studying at the Faculty of Nursing of a university and intending to emigrate abroad. Data were collected through face-to-face individual in-depth interviews. The interviews were audio-recorded after the participants’ permission was obtained. This study adopted a qualitative research design based on inductive content analysis to explore the participants’ perspectives in depth. Results: In this study, three themes emerged from the students' opinions: "Perception of brain drain", "Motivation behind brain drain" and "Challenges". The first theme reflected students’ varied views on migration, including both positive and negative perceptions, a growing social trend towards emigration, and feelings of hopelessness and dissatisfaction with nursing in Türkiye, leading to the formation of personal migration plans. The second theme captured motivations such as the influence of relatives and role models abroad, favourable personal conditions, attractive opportunities overseas, language efforts, and openness to new experiences. The final theme focused on challenges, including push factors like poor working conditions and low wages, barriers such as language and time constraints, and emotional concerns such as loneliness and cultural adjustment. Conclusion: The study showed that nursing students’ intention to emigrate stems from mixed perceptions of brain drain, strong personal and social motivations, and various emotional and structural challenges. Addressing these issues may help mitigate future nurse migration.

Somoğlu, Mustafa Barış; Yazici, Ömer Faruk; Paktaş, Yakup; İşbilir, Emine
This study aims to examine the relationships between happiness, life satisfaction, and subjective vitality among student-athletes. Conducted using a correlational survey design, the research included a total of 400 students (149 female and 251 male; Mean age = 21.31 ± 2.32) enrolled in sports sciences programs across three different universities. The data collection tools utilized were the “Subjective Happiness Scale (SHS),” the “Subjective Vitality Scale (SVS),” and the “Life Satisfaction Scale (LSS).” The suitability of the data for analysis was assessed based on skewness and kurtosis values. Data analysis was performed using IBM AMOS V25 software (Chicago, USA), and the relationships between happiness, life satisfaction, and subjective vitality were tested through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). According to the results of the structural equation model, the path coefficients between vitality, life satisfaction, and happiness were found to be significant. In this context, life satisfaction explains 44% of subjective happiness, while subjective vitality accounts for 54% of. Based on this, it can be suggested that increasing individuals' levels of life satisfaction and subjective vitality may also enhance their levels of happiness.

Objective: This study was conducted as a single-blind, randomized controlled parallel-group study with 50 elderly individuals to investigate the effect of foot bath on sleep quality. Methods: The data were collected using the “Elderly Information Form” and the “Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)” between 1 May 2022-1 July 2022 at a State Hospital in Gümüşhane province. The elderly in the foot bath group were given a foot bath with 41-42°C water for 20 minutes 50 minutes before normal sleep hours. No application was made to the control group except for the administration of data collection tools. The data were analyzed with Chi-square, Friedman, Wilcoxon Sign, and Mann-Whitney U tests. Results: It was determined that at least one of the total PSQI measurements and median scores of all subcomponents obtained from the elderly in the foot bath group differed depending on time (P<.05). However, it was found that there was no statistically significant difference in the sleep latency (B2), sleep duration (B3), habitual sleep efficiency (B4) and sleep disturbance (B5) component measurements obtained from the elderly in the control group depending on time (P>.05). Again, All PSQI subcomponents and total PSQI scores, except for the subcomponent “Habitual Sleep Efficiency (C4)”, decreased throughout the application in the elderly in the foot bath group. Conclusion: As a result, a foot bath improved sleep quality in the elderly. In line with the findings from this study, it is recommended to compare the foot bath with multiple experimental groups for a longer period of time.

Atasever, Mustafa; Mazlum, Halit
Cheese ripening entails specific biochemical changes that occur under certain conditions during storage. These changes allow different cheese varieties to develop their unique characteristics. The ripening process is influenced by both primary and secondary biochemical events. These are driven by coagulating enzymes, milk's natural enzymes, and the enzymes of both starter and non-starter microflora. The main biochemical events during cheese ripening include proteolysis, lipolysis, and the metabolism of citrate and lactate. Secondary biochemical reactions then process the primary metabolic products, such as lactic acid, fatty acids, and amino acids. This leads to the formation of volatile compounds like alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, acids, lactones, phenols, esters, and sulfur compounds, which play a crucial role in determining the cheese's quality. These processes give each cheese type its distinctive features, like aroma, taste, color, texture, and pore structure, influencing consumer preferences. This review provides insights into the biochemical events that occur during the cheese ripening period.
