Cherappurath, Nafih; Navaf, Muhammed; Ceylan, Halil Ibrahim; Elayaraja, Masilamani; Sunooj, Kappat Valiyapeediyekkal; Satheesan, Saranya T.; Thoompenthodi, Muhammed Ali; Perumbalath, Shamshadali; Bayrakdaroglu, Serdar; Muntean, Raul Ioan
Background/Objectives: Lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and osteoarthritis disproportionately affect women due to hormonal, metabolic, and socio-cultural factors. Emerging evidence suggests that combining structured exercise with nano-curcumin, a bioavailable phytochemical formulation with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, may provide synergistic benefits. This scoping review systematically synthesizes available evidence on the combined effects of nano-curcumin supplementation and exercise interventions on health outcomes in women with lifestyle-related diseases. Methods: Following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology and the PRISMA-ScR framework, a comprehensive database search was conducted in March 2025 and updated in June 2025. Records were retrieved from Scopus (n = 30), Web of Science (n = 22), PubMed (n = 18), and other sources (n = 71), yielding a total of 141 studies. After screening and deduplication, eight studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this review. All the studies were conducted in Iran with small sample sizes (12-53 participants) and short intervention durations (6-16 weeks). Therefore, the current evidence is geographically and demographically limited. Results: Across the included trials, the combined interventions produced additive or synergistic improvements in oxidative stress markers, inflammatory cytokines, lipid and glucose metabolism, cardiovascular function, pulmonary capacity, muscle fitness, and psychological outcomes (e.g., depression). When paired with nano-curcumin supplementation at different concentrations, high-intensity interval training, aerobic exercise, Pilates, and resistance training consistently outperformed exercise or supplementation alone in modulating antioxidant defenses, reducing systemic inflammation, and improving metabolic risk factors. Conclusions: The integration of exercise and nano-curcumin supplementation appears to confer superior benefits for women with lifestyle-related diseases compared with either approach alone. These findings highlight the potential of combining phytochemicals with lifestyle interventions to optimize women's health outcomes. However, most available evidence originates from small, short-term studies in single geographic regions. Large-scale, multicenter, randomized controlled trials with diverse populations are warranted to establish standardized protocols and optimal dosing strategies, and to assess long-term safety and efficacy.
- Derleme MakaleAçık Erişim2025Therapeutic Bioactivity Exerted by the Apis mellifera Bee Venom and Its Major Protein Melittin: A Scoping Review
Erdogan, Perihan Mutlu; Bilgili-Tetikoglu, Funda; Çelik-Uzuner, Selcen; Yildiz, Oktay; Kolayli, Sevgi; Mossialos, Dimitris
Honey bee (Apis mellifera) products have been extensively utilized in traditional medicine. Bee venom (BV) is one of the major bee products with a high concentration of the small peptide melittin (MEL) and exerts bioactivity ranging from anti-microbial to anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer. This scoping review aims to sum up research articles on the bioactivity exerted by BV and MEL published in PubMed and Scopus from 2010 onwards. PRISMA guidelines were implemented to analyze the relevant literature; we ended up with 425 research articles. Bioactivity of BV and MEL was grouped as (i) anti-inflammatory (85), (ii) immunomodulatory (37), (iii) anti-microbial (179), (iv) anti-cancer (170), and (v) anti-oxidant (32). Although there is a significant body of research on the anti-cancer and anti-microbial activity of BV and MEL, their anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties have received comparatively less attention. Many studies on the immunomodulatory effects of BV or MEL have focused on cancer. However, the effects on Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease have not been extensively studied regarding the anti-inflammatory effects. Given the critical role of the immune system and inflammatory response in cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, senescence and against infections, it is paramount to further explore the immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory potential of BV and MEL.

Türkkan, Tuğba; Odaci, Hatice
Violence against women is a widespread global public health problem. It is also a serious violation of women's human rights. Violence has traumatic effects on the health and well-being of women and the children who witness it. Violence against women is associated with physical, mental, emotional, sexual health, reproductive health problems and death. Violence and gender norms, which are one of the risk factors causing the continuation of violence; also have significant effects on families and societies, and these negative effects cross social and economic boundaries. However, it is also clear that current prevention initiatives and policy responses are insufficient. Mental health professionals have an important role to play in identifying, preventing and responding appropriately to violence against women and may take primary, secondary and tertiary measures to reduce the risk of violence against women. While providing mental health services, İt is very important to be aware of interpersonal violence and to provide gender-sensitive services. When providing these services, the impact of violence against women on mental health and knowledge of potential treatments are considered as a prerequisite. Along with the knowledge about the dynamics of violence, it is considered extremely important to take measures against the risks that weaken women who are disadvantaged due to problems such as gender inequality. For this reason, in this review, the concept of violence against women and the types of violence are explained and in this context, the initiatives that can be made in the field of mental health are included. It is thought that this review will contribute to the awareness of professionals working in the field about the seriousness of the problem and how violence affects women's mental health. It is also hoped that the present study will provide insight into the complex relationship between violence and health outcomes to help improve health policies and prevention responses in the relevant field.

- Derleme MakaleAçık Erişim2024A review on effects of diethyl ether on cyclic variations in diesel engines
Sezer, İsmet
Diethyl ether (DEE) can be used in diesel engines as a fuel or fuel additive. The review study was compiled from the findings of several studies in this area. The diverse techniques are employed to mitigate the detrimental pollutants emitted by diesel engines. The first approach to reducing emissions involves altering the fuel system and engine design to improve combustion, but this is an expensive and time–consuming process. The utilization of various exhaust gas devices, such as a particle filter and catalytic converter, is necessary for the second way. However, the engine performance could be negatively impacted by these tools. Additionally, these exhaust devices increases the vehicle and maintain costs. The use of different alternative fuels or fuel additives is the third way that reduces emissions while improving engine performance. The particulate matter (PM), smoke, and nitrogen oxides (NOx) are the main environmental pollutants released by diesel engines into the atmosphere. The decreasing PM and NOx emissions at the same time is practically very difficult. The majority of researches indicate that using alternative fuels, such as natural gas, biogas, and biodiesel, or blending additives with conventional or alternative fuels, is the best way to reduce emissions. However, the characteristics of the fuel have a significant influence on cycle variations, which have a significant impact on engine performance, fuel economy, and emissions. Therefore, it is very important that the results of studies on the impact of DEE on cyclic variation are evaluated together to practice applications and to guide future studies. As a result, the primary focus of this study is on the usage of DEE as a fuel or fuel additive with different diesel engine fuels. The aim of this review is to investigate, using the available knowledge in literature, how DEE affects cyclic variations.

Türkiye’de dağlık ve engebeli alanların geniş yer kaplaması yaylacılık faaliyetleri ve yayla kültürünün gelişmesini sağlamıştır. Türkiye’de geleneksel olarak hayvancılık amaçlı kullanılan yaylalar; yaz aylarında hayvan otlatmak, küçük çaplı da olsa tarım faaliyetlerinde bulunmak veya dinlenmek amacıyla faydalanılan geçici yerleşme alanları özelliği taşır. Tarım arazilerinin dar ve parçalı olduğu Gümüşhane ili (özellikle ilin kuzeydeki arazileri) ve çevresi Türkiye’de yaylacılık faaliyetlerinin en yoğun olduğu sahalar arasında yer almaktadır. Yörede hayvancılıkla meşgul olan halk için otların uzun süre kurumadan yeşil kaldığı yaylalar, büyük önem taşımaktadır. Yaylalar, çeşitli özellikleri yanında aynı zamanda kültürel birikimin âdeta gizli birer hazinesi niteliğindedir. Önce Orta Asya, sonrasında da Anadolu’da binlerce yıldır hayvancılık amacıyla yaylak ile kışlak arasında yer değiştiren topluluklar, sürdürdükleri ekonomik faaliyetlerin ve yaşadıkları coğrafyanın etkisiyle kendilerine has bir kültür oluşturmuşlardır. Bu kültürün en önemli unsurlarından birini de yayla mutfağı oluşturmaktadır. Yayla mutfağı, Türk toplum hayatında geçmişten beri süregelen yayla hayatının vazgeçilmez olgularından birini oluşturmaktadır. Yayla mutfak kültürü, zamanla birçok yönden ayırt edici ögenin eklenmesiyle özgün bir kimlik kazanmıştır. Mutfak kültürünün oluşmasında, coğrafi bölge, sosyo-ekonomik yapı, gelenek, görenek, tarım, hayvancılık ve teknolojik gelişmeler gibi faktörler etkili olmuştur. Bu çalışmada da kültürel miras unsuru olan yayla mutfak kültürünün geldiği son nokta ele alınmış, gelişimsel açıdan yayla mutfak kültürünün olumlu ve olumsuz yönleri tartışılmıştır. Yayla mutfağına ilişkin mevcut durumun yerinde tespit edilmesi için Doğu Karadeniz bölümünde yer alan Gümüşhane yaylalarına saha çalışması düzenlenmiştir. Bu çalışmalar kapsamında yayla sakinleri, muhtarlar, işletme sahipleri ve çeşitli paydaşlarla görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler üzerinden içerik ve betimsel analiz yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, yayla mutfak kültürü dört ana ve on alt tema üzerinden kategorize edilmiştir. Gümüşhane yayla mutfak kültürünün temel yapısını oluşturan bu dört ana temayı; hayvan ürünleri, tarım ürünleri, yöreye mahsus ürünler, yenilebilir yabani bitkiler ve mantarların oluşturduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Kategorize edilen her bir tema katılımcıların ifadeleri, gözlem ve ikincil verilere dayalı olarak bulgular kısmında değerlendirilmiştir. Ayrıca yaylalarda bakılan hayvan sayısı ve ekilen alan miktarı bakımından azalmaların olduğu, eskiden yayla halkı tarafından üretilen hayvan ve tarım ürünleri miktarının fazla olduğu ancak günümüzde yaylada yaşayan hanelerin genel itibari ile kendilerine yetecek kadar üretim gerçekleştirmeye çalıştığı, yaylacıların temel ihtiyaçlarını haftalık merkez yaylalarda kurulan pazarlardan veya ilçelere yakın marketlerden temel ihtiyaçlarını satın aldıkları tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanında yaylalarda yapılan yöresel ürünler listelenmiş ve yöresel yemek kültürünün bölgeye özgü ürünler kullanılarak devam
- Derleme MakaleAçık Erişim2024The Importance of Motivational Interviewing Technique in Providing Breastfeeding Motivation in the Postpartum Period
Aktas, Songul; Ay, Ozge Palanci
Breastfeeding is an important period in terms of mother and baby health. In order to benefit from breast milk at the maximum level during the breastfeeding process, it is important for the mother to start breastfeeding as soon as possible after birth and to be able to maintain breastfeeding. In this process, physiological, psychological, social and motivational factors have an effect on the continuity and maintenance of breastfeeding. If the mother experiences any breastfeeding problem during breastfeeding, her motivation to breastfeed may decrease. In recent studies, breastfeeding trainings have been applied with different techniques to encourage mothers to breastfeed during the breastfeeding process, to support them to feel competent and strong in this process and to increase their motivation for breastfeeding, adapted to their individual needs. One of these techniques is the motivational interview technique. Motivational interviewing technique has a supportive role in helping mothers to adapt to the breastfeeding process, to determine their attitudes towards breastfeeding, to address their lack of knowledge about breastfeeding, their concerns about this process, to increase their confidence and intrinsic motivation about breastfeeding, and to continue breastfeeding by helping behaviour change when necessary. In this article, the importance of motivational interviewing technique in providing breastfeeding motivation in the postnatal period is explained.

- Derleme MakaleYalnız künye2024A general evaluation on tax policy in the fight against effects of natural disasters
Günay, Hamdi Furkan
As one of the realities that many countries frequently face, natural disasters have various social and economic effects. One of the policy tools used by countries to alleviate the negative socioeconomic consequences arising from natural disasters is taxes. Decisions regarding tax policies for natural disasters require many factors to be taken into consideration under limited information, time and cost pressure. This study aims to evaluate the role of tax policies in combating the effects of natural disasters in the context of country practice examples and literature research. When country practices are examined, it is seen that states generally provide tax deductions and facilities to citizens affected by disasters, while at the same time imposing additional taxes to meet the revenue needs created by the disaster. Based on the research, it is emphasized that tax policies regarding natural disasters have an important but limited role and that comprehensive policies, especially public expenditure policies, are necessary. In addition, the appropriate design of tax legislation is very important in creating a structure prepared for natural disasters.

Muslu, Ayşe; Üçüncü, Osman; Baltacı, Cemalettin
The compound 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (HMF) has emerged as a versatile intermediate with the ability to undergo conversion into both fuel and a variety of platform chemicals. Lignocellulosic biomass, such as hazelnut shells and tea processing residues, was employed in this study for HMF production through two distinct methods. In the first method, cellulose from biomass was converted to sugars using a 4% acid solution, followed by catalytic conversion with NaCl/CrCl3.6H2O. After a 1-h reaction at 131 °C in a high-pressure system, HMF was obtained from tea processing waste and hazelnut shells with yields of 8.6% (82.3 mg/g) and 6.7% (66.7 mg/g), respectively. The second method involved LiCl/NaCl-doped N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) as an ionic solvent system for HMF production. After a 2-h reaction at 131 °C in the DMA-NaCl/[EMIM]Cl ionic solvent system, HMF was obtained from tea processing waste and hazelnut shell celluloses with yields of 5.7% (57.5 mg/g) and 3.1% (31.3 mg/g), respectively. This study contributes to the economic conversion of various food wastes into valuable chemicals, highlighting the potential of lignocellulosic biomass in sustainable chemical production.

Low-calorie orange marmalade was produced using sugar and reb A (0.08%) or reb A-sugar free recipes with pectin (1%) and agar agar (AA) (1%) stabilizers. The physical, chemical, and sensory properties of the marmalades were evaluated. AA stabilizers increased the viscosity of the marmalades compared to pectin, but they did not affect samples with reb A. Low-calorie samples had higher L* and b* values and lower a* values than sugar-containing samples. Total sugar content in reb A samples was 8.30 to 9.28 g/100 g, and it was lower in agar samples produced in parallel with pectin. The hydroxymethyl furfural (HMF) value was lower in sugar-free recipes (3.03 to 3.62) than in sugar-containing samples. Pectin-reb A samples had favorable taste, while AA-reb A samples favored consistency among reb A-containing samples.

Ağagündüz, Duygu; Yeşildemir, Özge; Koçyiğit, Emine; Koçak, Tevfik; Özen Ünaldı, Buket; Ayakdaş, Gamze; Budán, Ferenc
Oxylipins are oxidized fatty acids, both saturated and unsaturated, formed through pathways that involve singlet oxygen or dioxygen-mediated oxygenation reactions and are primarily produced by enzyme families such as cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450. These lipid-based complex bioactive molecules are pivotal signal mediators, acting in a hormone-like manner in the pathophysiology of numerous diseases, especially cardiometabolic diseases via modulating plenty of mechanisms. It has been reported that omega-6 and omega-3 oxylipins are important novel biomarkers of cardiometabolic diseases. Moreover, collected literature has noted that diet and dietary components, especially fatty acids, can modulate these oxygenated lipid products since they are mainly derived from dietary omega-3 and omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) or linoleic acid and α-linolenic by elongation and desaturation pathways. This comprehensive review aims to examine their correlations to cardiometabolic diseases and how diets modulate oxylipins. Also, some aspects of developing new biomarkers and therapeutical utilization are detailed in this review.

Arslan, Neslihan; Bozkır, Eda; Koçak, Tevfik; Akin, Meleksen; Yilmaz, Birsen
The effect of diet on sleep quality has been addressed in many studies; however, whether/how plant-based diets (PBDs) impact sleep-related parameters has not been explored in detail. This review aims to give an overview of the components of PBDs and the possible mechanisms through which PBDs may improve sleep quality. Studies have indicated that diets such as PBDs, which are typically high in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and fiber, are associated with better sleep outcomes, including less fragmented sleep and improved sleep duration. Several mechanisms may explain how PBDs impact and/or improve sleep outcomes. Firstly, PBDs are characteristically rich in certain nutrients, such as magnesium and vitamin B6, which have been associated with improved sleep patterns. Secondly, PBDs are often lower in saturated fats and higher in fiber, which may contribute to better overall health, including sleep quality. Additionally, plant bioactive compounds like phytochemicals and antioxidants in fruits, vegetables, and herbs may have sleep-promoting effects. According to available data, PBD and Mediterranean diet elements promise to enhance sleep quality; however, it is crucial to note that diets should be customized based on each person’s needs.
- Derleme MakaleAçık Erişim2024Taxation as a Policy Instrument For Social and Economic Effects of Gambling
Günay, Hamdi Furkan
The personal and social benefits and harms of gambling, which has been more accessible, diversified, and widespread thanks to global internet use, sometimes find their place in country agendas. Due to its characteristics, the gambling sector requires effective management through public policies. In this direction, governments determine sectoral policies in two ways: by choosing to ban gambling activities completely or by regulating the sector by legalizing certain types. In this context, taxes stand out as one of the policy tools adopted by many countries. This research aimed to evaluate the success of taxes–as a public policy tool–in controlling the social and economic effects of the gambling industry. Through a systematic review, the role and success of taxation against the social and economic influences of gambling have been evaluated in light of literature research and application examples. The present study revealed that taxes, as a policy tool, are insufficient and may lead to undesirable results in combating gambling, which has limited-positive contributions to the country's economies but harms society by creating severe addictions and other irreversible social costs.

Researchers have recently been interested in employing nanoparticles (NPs) obtained from herbal extracts through green synthesis for various applications. This study investigated the detoxification of aflatoxins, which are toxic substances produced by molds Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. The present work examined the levels of aflatoxins in hazelnut and peanut puree. Turkish black tea extract (BTE), Turkish green tea extract (GTE), green synthesized black tea-based iron oxide nanoparticles (BTFeONPs), and green tea-based iron oxide nanoparticles (GTFeONPs) were produced for aflatoxin removal. Characterizations and various antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the tea extracts and iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) were investigated. The aflatoxin levels of hazelnut puree used for this study were 6.57 ± 0.06 µg/kg for aflatoxin B1 and 13.03 ± 0.16 µg/kg for total aflatoxin, whereas the aflatoxin levels of (AFLB1) peanut puree were 7.79 ± 0.15 µg/kg for AFLB1 and 15.21 ± 0.12 µg/kg for total aflatoxin. Using soluble BTE resulted in a 40 to 50% decrease in aflatoxin levels in hazelnut and peanut purees, while soluble GTE led to a 30 to 45% decrease. Meanwhile, using BTFeONPs and GTFeONPs resulted in a 33 to 48% and 40 to 50% decrease, respectively, in aflatoxin levels in hazelnut and peanut purees.
