- MakaleAçık Erişim2026The Anageometric Calculus: Theory, Fundamental Results, and Connections With Classical Analysis
Yalcin, Numan; Dedeturk, Mutlu
In this study, we develop a systematic framework for anageometric calculus as an extension of non-Newtonian analysis. Fundamental concepts, including limits, continuity, differentiation, and higher order derivatives, are established, and the connection to classical calculus is clarified through a logarithmic transformation. Within this framework, we derive the properties of the anageometric derivative, inverse function relations, partial derivatives, and mean value theorems. The theory is extended to integration by establishing the first and second fundamental theorems of anageometric calculus. Furthermore, the structural implications of the anageometric derivative are investigated, demonstrating that the equation D similar to f=lambda f naturally generates power-law solutions rather than classical exponential ones. This highlights the suitability of anageometric analysis for scale-invariant phenomena and proportional growth processes, supported by a practical heat-conduction example.

Pala, Fahrettin; Barut, Abdulkadir; Torusdag, Mustafa; Pilatin, Abdulmuttalip; Henni, Mohamed Djafar
In developing economies, rapid economic growth intensifies environmental pressures, thereby increasing the importance of financial inclusion, energy intensity, and natural resource dependence for environmental sustainability. This situation necessitates a holistic examination of the determinants of environmental degradation in emerging markets, which motivates this study. In this context, the study examines the effects of financial inclusion, energy intensity, and natural resource rents on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in BRICS and MINT countries and empirically tests the validity of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. Accordingly, annual panel data covering the period 2000-2020 are analysed using a machine learning (ML)-based estimation framework, the Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimator, and Panel Quantile Regression (PQR). The findings indicate that natural resource rents increase CO2 emissions in BRICS, whereas they reduce emissions in MINT. Moreover, energy intensity and income per capita are found to increase CO2 emissions across all quantiles in both country groups. The environmental impact of financial inclusion is heterogeneous, reducing CO2 emissions in BRICS countries while increasing emissions in MINT countries. These results underscore the critical importance of explicitly incorporating country-specific heterogeneity into environmental sustainability policy design.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Semianalytical Solutions of a Caputo-Fabrizio Fractional Epidemic Model via the q-Kushare Homotopy Transform Method
Alkan, Asli; Anaç, Halil
In this study, an enhanced semianalytical framework is developed for solving nonlinear fractional differential equations involving the Caputo-Fabrizio fractional operator. The proposed Caputo-Fabrizio q-Kushare homotopy analysis transform method (CFq-KHATM) combines the Caputo-Fabrizio derivative, Kushare transform, and q-homotopy analysis within a unified operator-consistent framework. Unlike conventional hybrid approaches, the method preserves the nonsingular exponential memory structure of the Caputo-Fabrizio derivative and provides additional convergence-control flexibility through the auxiliary parameter & hbar; and q-deformation parameter n. To demonstrate its applicability, a Caputo-Fabrizio fractional epidemic model with memory-dependent transmission dynamics is investigated. Numerical simulations for different fractional-order values show that memory effects significantly influence epidemic evolution, infection persistence, and environmental viral dynamics. Furthermore, comparisons with existing methods together with absolute and relative error analyses confirm the accuracy, stability, and convergence efficiency of the proposed framework. The obtained results indicate that CFq-KHATM is a flexible and computationally reliable tool for nonlinear fractional epidemic systems and other memory-dependent dynamical models.

Tunbekici, Salih; Sahin, Gokhan; Yuksel, Haydar Cagatay; Acar, Caner; Akin, Imge; Aslanhan, Hasan; Isci, Mert; Kabaoglu, Ceren; Bal, Hamit; Sakin, Abdullah
Nonuterine leiomyosarcoma (NU-LMS) is a rare and biologically distinct subtype of soft tissue sarcoma (STS) with clinical behavior differing from that of uterine leiomyosarcoma. In advanced or metastatic STS, immunotherapy has demonstrated only modest activity, and chemotherapy remains the cornerstone of treatment. However, there is a persistent unmet need for more effective and better-tolerated options in this population. This multicenter, retrospective study included 150 patients with histologically confirmed metastatic NU-LMS who received first-line doxorubicin-ifosfamide (AI) or gemcitabine-docetaxel (GD) at 26 oncology centers in Turkey between 2010 and 2024. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Survival was analyzed using Kaplan-Meier estimates and Cox proportional hazards models. Of 150 patients, 79 received AI and 71 received GD. Median OS for the entire cohort was 21.0 months. Median OS was 22.0 months with AI and 19.1 months with GD (p = .18), median progression-free survival was 7.3 versus 6.1 months (p = .66), and overall response rate was 25.3% versus 29.6% (p = .58), indicating no statistically significant differences in efficacy between the two regimens. Hematologic toxicities were less frequent with GD. AI and GD demonstrated comparable efficacy as first-line regimens for advanced or metastatic NU-LMS, with fewer hematologic toxicities observed for GD. Tumor location may have prognostic implications. These findings support individualized treatment selection and highlight the need for prospective studies in this rare and understudied sarcoma subtype, while the recent LMS-04 trial underscores the importance of future comparisons with doxorubicin-trabectedin to further refine first-line strategies in LMS.

Erol, Ismail; Dogru, Tarik; Oztel, Ahmet; Bilgihan, Anil; Peker, Iskender; Neuhofer, Irem Onder
The primary perspective of this study is the global tourism industry (GTI) as an interconnected supply chain network, encompassing both tourism firms (e.g., hotels, airlines, and operators) and destinations (e.g., local communities and ecosystems). This industry-level focus allows for analyzing resilience indicators that bridge firm-specific capabilities with destination-wide vulnerabilities, rather than isolating one over the other. Using a mixed-method approach, this research conceptualizes resilience through various management theories. First, it identifies critical resilience indicators across institutional, societal, economic, and ecological dimensions. Second, these indicators are analyzed with a novel Spherical Fuzzy Interpretive Structural Modeling and Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification framework, utilizing expert opinions to uncover complex interdependencies among indicators. The findings of this study highlight that effective government policies, robust incentive mechanisms, advanced digital infrastructure, dynamic capabilities, and ecologically sustainable tourism practices are key drivers of resilience. However, socioeconomic impacts, tourist satisfaction, and price competitiveness emerge as highly dependent outcomes influenced by these drivers. This study also introduces the Adaptive Global-Local Interaction Theory, a new framework that integrates global influences with local realities to enhance tourism resilience. By offering a comprehensive framework and practical guidelines, this research equips policymakers and stakeholders with actionable strategies to bolster the industry's capacity to anticipate, adapt to, and recover from crises, promoting sustainable development amidst volatile global conditions.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2026Influencer Authenticity in Marketing: A Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda
Celik, Fatih; Ibrahim, Blend; Polat, Eray; Moulard, Julie; Akbulut, Metin
As influencer marketing scales into a mainstream advertising channel, authenticity has become its defining currency, yet consumers and brands struggle to understand what makes a social media influencer (SMI) genuinely credible and why strategic authenticity backfires. Despite growing scholarly interest, research remains fragmented, leaving practitioners without a unified framework to guide their decisions. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 138 peer-reviewed articles (2011-2024), using topic modeling and thematic analysis, we identify the authenticity paradox, the inherent conflict that arises when SMIs attempt to commercialize their genuine self-presentation. This tension also explains why recent evidence reports no overall engagement benefit from perceived authenticity. Seven latent topics are synthesized into four integrated axes: (1) ontological tensions at the technological interface, (2) the commercial transparency and trust paradox, (3) ethical negotiation in identity construction, and (4) strategic consumer responses. Our findings reveal how consumers continuously navigate between SMIs' curated performances and perceived genuineness, with self-determination theory, attribution theory, and parasocial interaction theory dominating current explanations, predominantly within USA-based contexts. Beyond mapping the field, we specify three conceptual patterns, namely authenticity as attributed intent, transparency as coherence rather than concealment, and authenticity as a structurally constrained accomplishment. We then translate the gaps they expose into a structured research agenda, offering actionable insights for brands, managers, and platform designers on authenticity management, influencer selection, partnership governance, and performance evaluation.

Büyüksaraç, Aydin; Senkaya, Mustafa; Alkan, Hamdi; Bektas, Ozcan; Öztürk, Serkan; Pirti, Atinc; Yücel, Mehmet Ali
The Simav Fault Zone (SFZ) in Western Anatolia remains one of the most active tectonic regions in Turkey, and the 2025 S & imath;nd & imath;rg & imath; earthquake swarm has renewed concern regarding evolving seismic hazard. This study analyzes the swarm on the S & imath;nd & imath;rg & imath; Segment using Coulomb stress modelling, spatial distributions of b- and p-value, gravity and magnetic anomalies, geothermal data, and GNSS observations. Coulomb stress calculations show that the M-W = 6.1 and M-W = 6.0 mainshocks produced stress increases of similar to 0.1 bar that effectively loaded adjacent segments of the SFZ, D & uuml;vertepe Fault Zone (DFZ), and Gelenbe Fault Zone (GFZ), guiding the east-southeast and northward migration of aftershocks. Spatial statistics indicate a b-value ranging from 0.6 to 1.3 and a p-value between 0.3 and 1.0. The lower b-values (< 1.0) and p-values (< 0.5) mark high-stress regions near the mainshock, and higher values characterize more stable zones. Gravity anomalies delineate a dense volcanic-ophiolitic body in the southwest and a caldera-like depression south of the SFZ, while magnetic anomalies highlight the structural continuation and interaction of the SFZ with the GFZ. GNSS stations recorded centimetre-to millimetre-scale motions: BAL1 moved similar to 1.34 cm horizontally with minor uplift, DEI1 experienced similar to 1.12 cm displacement with small vertical fluctuations, and KIKA shifted similar to 0.85 cm southwestward with largely stable elevation. Together, these results show that the 2025 swarm was controlled by stress transfer within a mechanically heterogeneous tectonomagmatic system. The identified stress-enhanced corridors along the SFZ and DFZ may act as future nucleation zones, emphasizing the need for sustained monitoring of this evolving fault network.

Behrens, Felix; Holle, Johannes; Chen, Chia-Yu; Ginsbach, Laura F.; Krause, Benjamin C.; Bruning, Ulrike; Kriegel, Fabian L.; Kaiser, Toralf; Szijarto, Istvan A.; Anandakumar, Harithaa
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the pathogenesis of CVD in CKD remains incompletely understood. Endothelial extracellular vesicles (EC-EVs) have previously been associated with CVD. We hypothesized that CKD alters EV release and cargo, subsequently promoting vascular remodelling. We recruited 94 children with CKD, including patients after kidney transplantation and healthy donors, and performed EV phenotyping and functional EV analyses in the absence of age-related comorbidities. Plasma EC-EVs were increased in haemodialysis patients and decreased after kidney transplantation. Thirty microRNAs were less abundant in total CKD plasma EVs with predicted importance in angiogenesis and smooth muscle cell proliferation. In vitro, CKD plasma EVs induced transcriptomic changes in angiogenesis pathways and functionally impaired angiogenic properties, migration and proliferation in ECs. High shear stress, as generated by arterio-venous fistulas, and uremic toxins were considered as potential drivers of EV release, but only the combination increased EV generation from venous ECs. The resulting EVs recapitulated miRNA changes observed in CKD in vivo. In conclusion, CKD results in the release of EVs with altered miRNA profiles and anti-angiogenic properties, which may mediate vascular pathology in children with CKD. EVs and their miRNA cargo may represent future therapeutic targets to attenuate CVD in CKD.

Uysal, I. Tonguc; Karabacak, Volkan; Aykut, Tunahan; Ring, Uwe; Liu, Entao; Sancar, Taylan; Leonard, Nicole; Tong, Kui; Todd, Andrew J.; Temel, Abidin
The North Anatolian Fault (NAF), one of the most prominent plate boundary continental fault systems on Earth, facilitates the westward movement of the Anatolian microplate into the Aegean region. The temporal and spatial evolution of the NAF is important for understanding the mechanism of escape tectonics during plate interaction in active orogenic regions. The driving force(s) behind the movement of the NAF and the time period over which this occurred remain controversial. Our U-Pb and K-Ar dating of syntectonic minerals shows that a predecessor faulting initiated as early as similar to 40 Ma due to shortening along the Neo-Tethyan suture zone. Fault reactivations occurred at similar to 20 and 10 Ma synchronously in eastern and western Anatolia, suggesting that the NAF already existed by similar to 20 Ma. Our data also show that the westward motion of Anatolia was not only controlled by the Arabia-Eurasia collision in eastern Anatolia, but also by Aegean extension.

Çabas, Meral; Beser, Nazife Ozge; Ayaydin, Hasan; Barut, Abdulkadir; Magazzino, Cosimo
This paper aims to investigate the relationship among green environmental technologies, resource efficiency, population density and ecological footprint in 38 OECD member countries between 2000 and 2019. The Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQREG) and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimators are used to analyse this relationship. Based on the results, strong evidence of a negative relationship between green environmental technologies, resource efficiency, population density and ecological footprint emerges, suggesting that these factors contribute to environmental improvement in OECD economies. Overall, the findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics among these variables and provide valuable insights for policymakers and stakeholders striving for sustainable environmental management and policy formulation. In this context, countries should develop standard guidelines and best practices on green technologies and resource efficiency, making it easier for sectors to adapt in these areas.

Background: Athlete's heart encompasses cardiac adaptations to long-term intensive training. Although male-dominated sports have been widely studied, limited data exist on structural and functional cardiac remodeling in female contact-sport athletes. This study aimed to evaluate cardiac changes in elite female rugby players using conventional and strain echocardiography. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 66 elite female rugby players and 50 sedentary controls. Anthropometric measurements and transthoracic echocardiographic assessments, including speckle tracking-derived global longitudinal strain (GLS), were performed. Linear, multivariable, and partial correlation analyses evaluated associations between GLS, active playing years (APY), and body mass index (BMI). Results: Compared to controls, athletes exhibited increased ventricular diameters, wall thicknesses, and left atrial size, with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). GLS values were significantly lower in rugby players (p < 0.001), though within normal limits. APY and BMI both showed significant inverse correlations with GLS (r = -0.456 and -0.370, respectively). In multivariable analysis, APY (beta = -0.392, p = 0.001) and BMI (beta = -0.225, p = 0.013) independently predicted GLS. Partial correlation confirmed the independent association of APY with GLS (r = -0.412, p = 0.001). GLS showed strong discriminative performance for >= 5 years of play (AUC = 0.816) and moderate performance for BMI >= 24.13 (AUC = 0.666). Conclusion: Elite female rugby athletes demonstrate physiological cardiac remodeling, including reduced GLS associated with training duration and BMI. These findings highlight the need for sex- and sport-specific echocardiographic reference values and further longitudinal research to clarify long-term clinical implications.

Liver fibrosis is a common, progressive disease that affects millions of patients worldwide. In this study, it was aimed at investigating the effect of white tea on liver fibrosis in an in-vivo environment by creating an experimental liver fibrosis model on rats. In this study, an experimental liver fibrosis model was created with carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in Sprague-Dawley rats to investigate the effect of white tea on liver fibrosis. Rats are treated with CCl4 (1 mL/kg) to constitute the liver fibrosis model. White tea was given ad libitum with drinking water. As a result of the study, liver tissue hydroxyproline levels were found to be significantly lower (p = .001) in the white tea group. Histopathologically, it was found that the liver tissue histopathological damage score (LHDS) and fibrosis scoring were significantly lower (p < .001) in the white tea group. However, although it was not statistically significant in the group given white tea, compared with the fibrosis group, it was found that the malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the liver tissues was lower, the glutathione (GSH) level was higher, and the serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were lower. The study explained the effect of white tea on liver fibrosis and suggested that white tea might be beneficial in reducing the progression of liver fibrosis.

Uzun, Sevda; Guerhan, Nermin
ObjectiveThis study aims to reveal the effect of the motivational interviewing on the quality of life and self-efficacy behaviors of individuals with chronic diseases.Material-methodFor this meta-analysis study, PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and Y & Ouml;K Theses databases were searched in January-May 2021 without year limitation. As a result, 38 studies were included in the study: 23 for the quality of life variable, and 21 for the self-efficacy behaviors variable (in 6 studies, both variables were examined together). The data were synthesized with meta-analysis and narrative methods. The total sample size of the studies is 25,425.ResultsThis meta-analysis study showed that the motivational interviewing applied to individuals with chronic diseases changed their quality of life (SMD: 0.296, %95 CI: 0.054-0.537, Z = 2.402, p = .016, I2 = %95). The type of chronic disease, measurement tool, sample group, disease group, age range, and whether the motivational interviewer was a nurse or not changed the effect size of the motivational interviewing on the quality of life. The self-efficacy score average of the experimental group to which motivational interviewing was applied was statistically similar to that of the control group (SMD: 0.141, %95 CI: -0.065, 0.347; Z = 1.346, p = .178, I2 = %87).ConclusionsAs a result of the meta-analysis, it was determined that the use of motivational interviewing increased the quality of life level of individuals with chronic diseases. However, it is thought that more research is needed because some studies were conducted with small sample size and prepost test design. The results of the study may provide guidance on the interventions to be used in improving the quality of life of individuals with chronic diseases.

Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide, recognized for its unique taste and aroma and for its social and health impacts. Coffee contains a plethora of nutritional and bioactive components, whose content can vary depending on their origin, processing, and extraction methods. Gathered evidence in literature shows that the regular coffee consumption containing functional compounds (e.g., polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and melanoidins) can have potential beneficial effects on cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal adiposity, hyperglycemia, and lipogenesis. On the other hand, coffee compounds, such as caffeine, diterpenes, and advanced glycation end products, may be considered a risk for cardiometabolic health. The present comprehensive review provides up-to-date knowledge on the structure-function relationships between different chemical compounds present in coffee, one of the most prevalent beverages present in human diet, and cardiometabolic health.

Tang, Thomas Li-Ping; Li, Zhen; Özbek, Mehmet Ferhat; Lim, Vivien K. G.; Teo, Thompson S. H.; Ansari, Mahfooz A.; Sutarso, Toto; Garber, Ilya; Chiu, Randy Ki-Kwan; Charles-Pauvers, Brigitte
Corruption involves greed, money, and risky decision-making. We explore the love of money, pay satisfaction, probability of risk, and dishonesty across cultures. Avaricious monetary aspiration breeds unethicality. Prospect theory frames decisions in the gains-losses domain and high-low probability. Pay dissatisfaction (in the losses domain) incites dishonesty in the name of justice at the individual level. The Corruption Perceptions Index, CPI, signals a high-low probability of getting caught for dishonesty at the country level. We theorize that decision-makers adopt avaricious love-of-money aspiration as a lens and frame dishonesty in the gains-losses domain (pay satisfaction-dissatisfaction, Level 1) and high-low probability (CPI, Level 2) to maximize expected utility and ultimate serenity. We challenge the myth: Pay satisfaction mitigates dishonesty across nations consistently. Based on 6500 managers in 32 countries, our cross-level three-dimensional visualization offers the following discoveries. Under high aspiration conditions, pay dissatisfaction excites the highest- (third-highest) avaricious justice-seeking dishonesty in high (medium) CPI nations, supporting the certainty effect. However, pay satisfaction provokes the second-highest avaricious opportunity-seizing dishonesty in low CPI entities, sustaining the possibility effect-maximizing expected utility. Under low aspiration conditions, high pay satisfaction consistently leads to low dishonesty, demonstrating risk aversion-achieving ultimate serenity. We expand prospect theory from a micro and individual-level theory to a cross-level theory of monetary wisdom across 32 nations. We enhance the S-shaped Curve to three 3-D corruption surfaces across three levels of the global economic pyramid, providing novel insights into behavioral economics, business ethics, the environment, and responsibility.

Acar, Emrah; Ozgul, Neryan; Izci, Servet
Purpose The simple right ventricular contraction pressure index (sRVCPI) is a new echocardiographic variable for estimating the right ventricular systolic function. Our aim was to investigate the association between the sRVCPI, the pulmonary embolism severity index (PESI), and mortality rate in acute pulmonary embolism (APE). Methods We included in this study 116 patients diagnosed with APE by pulmonary computed tomography angiography or ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy. They were divided into two groups based on the simplified PESI < or >1. Tricuspid regurgitation velocity and TAPSE were measured and used for sRVCPI calculation. Results Mortality was higher in patients with a higher sRVCPI (P < .001). In receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis using a cut-off level of 312.8 mm Hg mm, sRVCPI predicted mortality with a sensitivity of 86.8% and specificity of 69.5% (ROC area under curve: 0.712; 95%CI 0.597-0.882; P < .001). The sRVCPI was lower in the sPESI >1 than in the sPESI <1 group (364.3 +/- 31.9 vs 511.6 +/- 26.1; P < .001). There was an inverse correlation between sRVCPI and the sPESI score (-0.784; P < .001). Conclusion The sRVCPI correlated with the sPESI score and was associated with mortality in patients with APE. This easily measurable variable may be used to predict short-term mortality in APE patients.
