Altın, İsmail; Bayraktar, Hakan; Sezer, İsmet
Effects of dual spark plug (DSP) operation in a spark ignition (SI) engine on energy, exergy, and exhaust emissions are numerically investigated in this study. A quasi–dimensional SI engine cycle model is used for the analyses. The practical correlations with no assume the fluid dynamics are occupied for the simulation of intake and exhaust periods and the turbulent flame propagation analogy is assigned for the modeling of combustion. The second law of thermodynamics is added to the cycle model to execute the exergy analysis. The thermodynamic parameters such as in–cylinder pressure and temperature, ignition delay, and burn duration with the engine performance parameters are evaluated in the energy analysis. The exergies transferred via heat, work, and exhaust gases, besides destroyed exergy, fuel chemical exergy, thermomechanical exergy and total exergy are compiled for the exergy analysis. The carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxide (NO), and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions are defined for emission performance analysis. The results show that DSP operation affects moderately energy, exergy, and exhaust emissions. The best results were obtained at dimensionless spark plug location (ratio of spark plug location radius to cylinder radius–Xsp) of 0.2 for DSP compared to centrally located single spark plug (SSP).

Kaya, Selim
This study thoroughly investigated the impact of La2O₃ inclusion on the radiation shielding effectiveness of sodium-barium borosilicate glasses using EGS4 Monte Carlo simulations and WinXCOM computations. The gamma-ray shielding behavior of a set of glass samples was systematically investigated over a wide photon energy interval ranging from 50 to 2506 keV. The glass compositions were modified through the stepwise substitution of Na₂O with La₂O₃. Key radiation interaction and shielding metrics—including the mass attenuation coefficient (μ/ρ), half-value layer (HVL), mean free path (MFP), radiation protection efficiency (RPE), effective atomic number (Zeff), and kerma coefficients—were determined and comparatively evaluated. The results demonstrate that the progressive incorporation of La₂O₃ leads to a marked enhancement in radiation shielding performance, particularly within the low-and intermediate-photon energy ranges where photoelectric interactions prevail. The inclusion of La₂O₃ results in increased material density, μ/ρ, Zeff, and kerma values, while simultaneously reducing (HVL) and MFP.In conclusion, sodium-barium borosilicate glasses treated with La₂O₃ have better radiation attenuation capacities than their La₂O₃-free counterparts. These results validate the effectiveness of La₂O₃ substitution as an approach for customizing borosilicate glass systems for applications that need improved radiation shielding.

Akay, Gamze; Yıldız, Muhammed; Oğuzhan, Hatice; Uzun, Sevda
Purpose Pediatric patients often experience distress, pain, and nausea during medical procedures. This meta-analysis aimed to synthesize current evidence on the potential efficacy of acupressure on symptom management among pediatric patients aged 0–19 years. Design and methods This study was designed as a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials . The literature search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and the YÖK Thesis Center in January 2025 and updated in August 2026, with no restriction on publication year. After the reviews, 17 studies were included in the study. The data were synthesized by meta-analysis and narrative methods. Results The pooled analysis indicated that acupressure was associated with statistically significant reductions in reported anxiety (SMD = −1.021, p < 0.001), pain (SMD = −1.397, p < 0.001), and nausea (SMD = −0.388, p = 0.006). However, substantial statistical heterogeneity was observed for anxiety (I2 = 78.8%) and pain (I2 = 94.4%), and the number of studies available for each outcome was limited (anxiety: n = 6; pain: n = 9; nausea: n = 4). Conclusions and practice implications Current evidence suggests that acupressure may be a promising complementary approach for managing anxiety, pain, and nausea in pediatric patients. However, given the small number of studies per outcome, small sample sizes, and high statistical heterogeneity, these findings should be interpreted with caution. Further rigorous, well-designed RCTs are required to confirm these observations before routine clinical implementation can be recommended.

Ozdemir, Olcay; Duran, Celal; Mentese, Emre; Ozdes, Duygu
In the present research, a novel cloud point extraction (CPE) method was developed for the separation and preconcentration of toxic Cu(ii), Ni(ii), Pb(ii), and Cd(ii) ions in environmental water and vegetable samples, prior to their determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). The ligand 2-(2-(4-fluorobenzyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-1-yl)acetohydrazide (FB-BIAH) was employed for the first time as an analytical complexing agent for the aforementioned metal ions, and Triton X-114 (TX-114) was preferred as the nonionic surfactant. Within the scope of optimizing CPE conditions, experimental parameters, such as pH, FB-BIAH and surfactant amounts, and incubation temperature and time, as well as centrifugation speed and duration, were systematically investigated. The optimal conditions for the simultaneous quantitative recovery of analyte ions were established as pH 7.0, an FB-BIAH amount of 2.5 mg, a TX-114 quantity of 25 mg, an incubation temperature of 60 °C, and an incubation time of 30 min. Under optimal conditions, the proposed method was successfully applied to river water and seawater, as well as different vegetable samples such as lettuce, parsley, and pepper. The results obtained demonstrated that the analyte ions could be reliably determined in complex matrices and that the method exhibited high analytical performance. Due to its simplicity, rapid applicability, environmentally friendly nature, and cost-effectiveness, the proposed CPE-FAAS method represents a promising approach for the routine analysis of toxic heavy metals in environmental water and food samples.

İncele - MakaleAçık Erişim2026Scopus SJRQ1The effect of eHealth-based guided self help interventions for binge eating disorder : a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Tuncer, Gülsüm Zekiye; Tuncer, Metin
With rapid technological advancements, eHealth-based guided self-help interventions have become accessible, flexible, cost-effective, and stigma-reducing treatment options for binge eating disorder (BED). This meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of these interventions in individuals diagnosed with BED or showing BED symptoms, based on eight randomized controlled trials with 1,575 participants. Intervention length varied between a single session to four months. Six studies focused solely on web-based guided self-help interventions, one study implemented a hybrid approach combining face-to-face and online components, and another study employed two distinct online guided self-help methods. The interventions included psychoeducational modules, therapist feedback, online behavior monitoring, and self-assessments. eHealth-based guided self-help significantly reduced binge eating psychopathology (SMD: 0.53; 95% CI: 0.20–0.86) and objective binge eating (OBE) days (SMD: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.12–0.85) compared to controls. These interventions offer effective solutions for individuals facing barriers to traditional treatment access.

Reis, Hatice Catal; Turk, Veysel
Melanoma, a type of skin cancer, is a severe skin cancer that is critical for early diagnosis but difficult to detect. Deep learning is promising in melanoma diagnosis because it can automatically analyze visual features and perform end-to-end learning. However, achieving the optimum balance between performance and computational efficiency for the effective use of these models in clinical applications is an important research topic. In this study, three innovative methods are proposed for skin cancer detection: PADSCNet, P-DEFF, and M–DEFF. The PADSCNet is an effective neural network developed with CNN and multi-head attention techniques, designed with fusion methods, and stands out with its minimum number of parameters despite being quite deep. The P-DEFF and M–DEFF are based on ensemble learning techniques; P-DEFF was developed with a single deep learning model, and M–DEFF was developed with multiple pre-trained deep learning models. The proposed approaches were tested on the Skin Cancer: Malignant vs. Benign dataset, which was pre-processed using image enhancement techniques. According to the experimental results, PADSCNet achieved accuracy rates of 88.12 %, P-DEFF 93.75 %, and M–DEFF 95.00 %. In additional experiments conducted with the PADSCNet model, 93.12 % accuracy rates were achieved in the CNN for Melanoma Detection Dataset, and 95.00 % accuracy rates were achieved in the PH2 dataset. These findings show that the proposed methods are effective in skin cancer detection and can achieve successful results in clinical applications.

Ozmen, Ozlem; Asci, Halil; Kolay, Oznur; Selcuk, Elif Nur; Yuksel, Duygu; Comlekci, Selcuk; Karabacak, Pinar
High-intensity electric fields (EFs) are increasingly encountered in occupational and environmental settings, raising concerns regarding their potential biological effects on hormonally responsive organs. However, the cellular and molecular responses of female reproductive tissues to short-term exposure to high-voltage EFs remain insufficiently characterized. This study aims to investigate EF-associated histopathological and immunohistochemical alterations in major female reproductive organs. Forty adult female Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to five experimental groups (n = 8 per group): a control group (0 min) and four EF-exposed groups subjected to a nominal electric field intensity of 10 kV/m EF for 1, 5, 15, or 30 min using a custom-designed parallel-plate exposure system. The field intensity was verified at predefined measurement points within the exposure setup. Ovaries, uterus, and uterine tubes were examined using hematoxylin–eosin staining and semi-quantitative histopathological scoring. Immunohistochemical analyses were performed to evaluate the expression of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and osteonectin as markers of inflammation, angiogenesis, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Exposure to the electric field was associated with time-dependent histopathological alterations, including tissue edema, hemorrhage, epithelial degeneration, and leukocyte infiltration. The most pronounced ovarian and uterine changes were observed in the 30-min exposure group, whereas the uterine tubes exhibited comparatively milder structural alterations. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated increased TNF-α and VEGF expression in higher-exposure groups, suggesting activation of inflammatory and angiogenic pathways. Osteonectin expression was elevated in all examined reproductive tissues and was also detected in regions without overt morphological damage, indicating its potential sensitivity to early tissue stress responses associated with EF exposure. Significant correlations were observed between histopathological injury scores and immunohistochemical marker expression levels. Overall, short-term exposure to high-intensity electric field was associated with inflammatory signaling, angiogenic responses, and extracellular matrix remodeling in female reproductive tissues in this experimental model. These findings provide histological and immunohistochemical evidence of tissue responses to EF exposure and underscore the need for further studies incorporating comprehensive exposure characterization and additional molecular endpoints to better define potential reproductive health implications to high-voltage electric fields.

Şimşek Evren, Emine
This study was conducted to determine the travel motivations and experiences of paranormal health tourists. In the study, the Gırnavaz Mound in Mardin/Türkiye, where the tomb of the leader of the first Muslim jinn is located, was analyzed. The data were collected with semi-structured interviews conducted with 15 visitors and 2 religious officials. Four main themes and six subthemes were identified during the manual content analysis process. The main themes were named “Paranormal Story: Healing Jinn,” “Motivation for Paranormal Health Tourism,” “Paranormal Health Tourism Experiences,” and “Sense of Healing: Placebo.” Findings reveal that paranormal health tourists are motivated by feelings of helplessness and belief. Their experiences are shaped by ritual participation and shared emotional exchanges with others. The peak experience—encountering a jinn leader in a dream—can be disrupted by environmental factors. Those who reach the peak experience feel a sense of healing that can be attributed to the placebo.

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.

Tunç, Merve Tuğçe; Yılmaz, Fırat; Akdoğan, Arda; Atalar, İlyas; Odabaş, Halil İbrahim
BACKGROUND: Buckwheat is a strategic raw material for plant-based milk production due to its gluten-free nature and rich bioactive profile. However, antinutritional factors and starch structure limit the nutritional quality and technological properties of such beverages. This study aims to investigate the effects of sprouting pretreatment (0, 24, 48, and 72 h) on the physicochemical properties, rheological behavior, phytic acid content, and in vitro protein/phenolics digestibility of buckwheat milk. RESULTS: As the sprouting duration increased, the viscosity of buckwheat milk decreased from 31.42 to 15.42 mPa s (at 72 h) due to the enzymatic hydrolysis of starch and proteins. Rheological analysis revealed that all samples exhibited weak gel behavior. Color analysis showed a decrease in lightness (L*) while redness (a*) and yellowness (b*) values significantly increased with sprouting. The results showed that sprouting significantly reduced phytic acid content, reaching its minimum at 72 h. The highest in vitro protein digestibility was observed at 24 h of sprouting, after which a relative decline occurred due to the formation of protein–polyphenol complexes and metabolic amino acid utilization. Furthermore, total phenolic content, flavonoid content, and antioxidant capacities measured after in vitro digestion were substantially higher in sprouted samples, especially at 48 and 72 h, than in the control. CONCLUSION: The results indicate that a sprouting duration of 48 h represents an optimal balance for the physical stability and nutritional enhancement of buckwheat milk. At this stage, significant increases in bioaccessible phenolics were achieved while maintaining a stable colloidal structure.

Aim: This research aimed to evaluate sleep quality and fatigue among individuals undergoing hemodialysis and to explore the determinants affecting these variables. Methods: This observational investigation was carried out among 78 who were regularly receiving hemodialysis therapy. The research was carried out between May and October 2025 in three different public hospitals among individuals undergoing hemodialysis treatment. Data were gathered using the Patient Information Form (PIF), the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: The mean score of the hemodialysis patients on the FSS is 4.97 ± 1.11, and the mean PSQI value is 7.76 ± 3.64. A moderately positive and statistically noteworthy relation was observed between the PSQI and FSS scores. Additionally, a low negative meaningful correlation was seen between ferritin levels and the FSS scores, as well as between calcium levels and the PSQI scores. The use of medications related to chronic disease and the PSQI scores were identified as significant predictors of the FSS scores. Conclusion: Fatigue and sleep quality in individuals receiving hemodialysis treatment are related to each other, as well as to biochemical balance and treatment adherence.

Yalvac, Sefa; Bjelotomić Oršulić, Olga
Land subsidence induced by excessive groundwater withdrawal has become one of the most significant geohazards affecting the Konya Closed Basin, Turkey. Although previous studies have successfully monitored ground deformation using geodetic and remote sensing techniques, limited attention has been devoted to transforming deformation measurements into quantitative, spatially classified hazard information. This study presents a severity-based framework for delineating land-subsidence hazard zones and critical hotspots in the Konya metropolitan area by integrating SBAS-InSAR observations and spatial statistical analyses. A total of 82 Sentinel-1 SAR acquisitions (41 ascending and 41 descending images) acquired between January 2023 and May 2026 were processed using the Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) technique. Ascending and descending line-of-sight deformation measurements were combined to derive vertical deformation rates, which were integrated with spatial statistical indicators and a composite severity index to quantify deformation clustering and classify subsidence severity. Hazard zones and critical hotspot areas were delineated through severity-based classification and spatial connectivity analyses. The results reveal a continuous north–south-oriented subsidence deformation belt extending across the eastern Konya. Maximum vertical subsidence rates exceeded 230 mm/yr, while spatial statistical analyses confirmed strongly clustered and statistically significant deformation patterns. Severity-based hazard zonation identified four hazard classes and a continuous high-hazard corridor. Clustering analysis further identified a dominant hotspot belt covering approximately 160 km2, with mean subsidence rates of approximately 142 mm/yr. A sensitivity analysis of the composite severity index weighting scheme, the spatial statistical neighborhood distance, the DBSCAN clustering parameters, and the number of Jenks severity classes confirmed that the resulting hazard zones and critical hotspot belt are robust to reasonable parameter variations. The findings demonstrate that land subsidence in Konya is organized as a spatially continuous regional-scale deformation system rather than a collection of isolated subsidence centers. The proposed framework transforms InSAR-derived deformation measurements into quantitative, decision-support hazard information and provides a transferable methodology for land-subsidence hazard assessment in groundwater-stressed urban environments.

In this study, the characterization of some bioactive content of exopolysaccharide (EPS) extracted from Pediococcus ethanolidurans isolated with Smilax excelsa L. from conventionally produced pickles were investigated. Background: Although this study is the main study involving the characterization of EPS obtained from Pediococcus ethanolidurans, it is important because it has determined a natural polysaccharide that can be used in different fields in the industry. According to the obtained results, sugar analysis by GC-MS revealed that EPS consisted of glucose (7.59%), mannose (41.96%), fructose (16.98%), arabinose (3.15%) and rhamnose (30.30%). From the thermal behavior determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), it was concluded that it should not be heated close to 250 °C. At the same time, according to the thermogram obtained as a result of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, it was found to have a crystalline structure. EPS, which reached 73.844% efficiency, showed antibacterial activity against Listeria monocytogenes, Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while 2,2′-Azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid (ABTS) scavenging activity was detected at 0.24 mM. It also has remarkable results, seen in cytotoxicity analysis against healthy HT-29 cells, demonstrating that it has proliferative activity as high as %125 In short, Pediococcus ethanolidurans was found to be a novel EPS producer with impressive properties.

Dedeturk, Mutlu; Yalcin, Numan
This paper investigates non-Newtonian differentiation associated with integer iterates of generator functions. For (Formula presented.), we consider the derivative operators (Formula presented.) and derive explicit first-order representation, transformation, and factorization formulas that relate operators corresponding to different iteration levels. The construction is then extended to higher-order derivatives, where the resulting operators are represented through conjugation with the classical derivative operator Dr. Faà di Bruno’s formula and exponential partial Bell polynomials are used to obtain explicit higher-order expressions. Several examples involving exponential, double-exponential, and quadratic generators illustrate how the general results specialize to familiar non-Newtonian calculi. The results provide a unified treatment of non-Newtonian differentiation based on iterated generators and clarify its relationship with classical differentiation.

Gülen, Jale; Karpuz, Ömer
The present study displays the adsorption characteristics of dichloro phenoxy acetic acid (2.4-D) on biomass-based peanut shell (BPC) carbon. Experiments were conducted by varying some parameters like concentration, pH, and temperature. 2,4-D adsorption uptake was increased from 0.504 to 3.826 mg/g with rising concentration from 1 µg/mL to 5 µg/mL and giving the highest adsorption at acidic pH. 1.605 mg/g uptake was obtained at pH 2.7. The data were in good harmony with Langmuir, Freundlic, Dubinin-Radushkevich (DR), and Generalized isotherms. The monolayer adsorption capacity was found as 42.62 ± 0.3257 mg/g. The kinetic was governed by the first-order kinetic. Various kinetic models were employed and particle diffusion was predominated for 2,4-D adsorption. Thermodynamics were explained in detail. The mean adsorption energy (E) was shown by the physical sorption, and Gibbs energy was the indicator of the spontaneous nature of the adsorption. Standard enthalpy, entropy, and Gibbs values were recorded as 5.064 ± 139.84, 18.849 ± 0.148, and 0,7414 ± 0.0943 J/mol. The results showed that BPC was an eco-friendly and cost-effective material.

Alak, İsmail; Hatik, Sefa Haktan; Büyükkirli, İlker Can; Aydin, Emine Busra
Spinal manipulation (SM) and stabilization-focused exercise are commonly used in chronic low back pain, yet evidence on their combined effects is limited. This randomized controlled trial compared SM and dynamic neuromuscular stabilization (DNS), alone or combined, in chronic non-specific low back pain. Forty-eight participants were randomized (1:1:1:1; n=12/group) using a computer-generated sequence with opaque sealed-envelope concealment to Control, SM, DNS, or SM+DNS (SMDNS). Interventions (except Control) were delivered twice weekly for 4 weeks. Outcomes (VAS, ODI, RMDQ, DNS-HS, PostureScreen) were assessed at baseline and follow-up. Assessor blinding was not feasible (treating physiotherapist also assessed outcomes); analyses used coded group labels.Within-group analyses showed significant improvements in most outcomes (p<0.05), except for postural deviation in the SM group and frontal postural deviation in the DNS and SMDNS groups. Between-group comparisons indicated greater early pain reduction with SMDNS at the second assessment (p<0.05). By week 4, pain decreased most in DNS and SMDNS (VAS Δ=−3), while SM showed Δ=−2 and Control showed no change. Disability improved most in DNS/SMDNS (ODI Δ=−13.39/−15.38; RMDQ Δ=−5.24/−5.77). Week-4 effect sizes favored SMDNS over Control and SM for key outcomes (VAS D2 g=2.07 vs Control, 1.24 vs SM; ODI PC2 g=1.73 vs Control, 1.05 vs SM; RMDQ PC2 g=1.34 vs Control, 0.23 vs SM). Overall, adding SM to DNS may enhance early pain relief; the magnitude of between-group differences (effect sizes with 95% CIs) supports interpretation, while clinical relevance should be considered alongside established MCIDs and confirmed in larger trials with longer follow-up.

Yalçın, Elif Güvendi
[Abstract] This article offers a critical re-evaluation of Hanif Kureishi’s short story “My Son the Fanatic” at the intersection of Frantz Fanon’s postcolonial psychoanalysis and Didier Bigo’s security studies. Moving beyond conventional readings that center generational conflict, religious radicalism, or immigrant assimilation, the study foregrounds surveillance as a constitutive force shaping postcolonial subjectivity within diasporic family dynamics. It is argued that Kureishi’s narrative dramatizes the internalization of state logics of suspicion and control, whereby the immigrant father, Parvez, becomes both the subject and the agent of a dispersed surveillance apparatus. Drawing on Bigo’s concept of the ban-opticon and its emphasis on anticipatory governance and affective regulation, the article examines how fear of deviance displaces paternal care with a mode of domestic policing. Simultaneously, Fanon’s notion of epidermalization elucidates how the colonized subject internalizes visibility as a site of control, resulting in a fractured self constantly navigating racialized gazes and cultural expectations.
