Reis, Hatice Catal; Turk, Veysel; Khoshelham, Kourosh; Kaya, Serhat
The rapid development of machine learning has increased interest in the use of deep learning methods in medical research. Deep learning in the medical field is used in disease detection and classification problems in the clinical decision-making process. Large amounts of labeled datasets are often required to train deep neural networks; however, in the medical field, the lack of a sufficient number of images in datasets and the difficulties encountered during data collection are among the main problems. In this study, we propose MediNet, a new 10-class visual dataset consisting of Rontgen (X-ray), Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound, and Histopathological images such as calcaneal normal, calcaneal tumor, colon benign colon adenocarcinoma, brain normal, brain tumor, breast benign, breast malignant, chest normal, chest pneumonia. AlexNet, VGG19-BN, Inception V3, DenseNet 121, ResNet 101, EfficientNet B0, Nested-LSTM + CNN, and proposed RdiNet deep learning algorithms are used in the transfer learning for pre-training and classification application. Transfer learning aims to apply previously learned knowledge in a new task. Seven algorithms were trained with the MediNet dataset, and the models obtained from these algorithms, namely feature vectors, were recorded. Pre-training models were used for classification studies on chest X-ray images, diabetic retinopathy, and Covid-19 datasets with the transfer learning technique. In performance measurement, an accuracy of 94.84% was obtained in the traditional classification study for the InceptionV3 model in the classification study performed on the Chest X-Ray Images dataset, and the accuracy was increased 98.71% after the transfer learning technique was applied. In the Covid-19 dataset, the classification success of the DenseNet121 model before pre-trained was 88%, while the performance after the transfer application with MediNet was 92%. In the Diabetic retinopathy dataset, the classification success of the Nested-LSTM + CNN model before pre-trained was 79.35%, while the classification success was 81.52% after the transfer application with MediNet. The comparison of results obtained from experimental studies observed that the proposed method produced more successful results. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]

Karimullah, Suud Sarim
This study responds to a polemic on Indonesia’s formalization of Islamic law, which is inseparable from the dynamics of political authority and the internal views of Muslims. It seeks to describe, explore, construct, and analyze the Indonesianization of Islamic law, as proposed by Kamsi, an Islamic law professor at Sunan Kalijaga State Islamic University of Yogyakarta, as one of the efforts to make Islamic law become the national law. The Indonesianization of Islamic law, namely by legislating or codifying Islamic law through the state system so that it is enforceable in Indonesia. This study is conceptual research using a legal philosophy approach to comprehend an Islamic legal thought from a sharia scholar using the content analysis method. The results of this study show that the concept of Indonesianisation of Islamic Law uses a modern knowledge system as the paradigm. This effort seeks to nationally legalize Islamic law through Indonesian legal instruments that can give birth to inclusiveness and tolerance coupled with pluralism with differentiation in unification. Its theoretical implication emphasizes a need for epistemological and axiological adjustments to realize the concept of Indonesianization of Islamic law. The idea should also apply nationally within the framework of Pancasila (the Indonesian state’s ideology) as a democratic country.

Tolgay, Doga; Yakut, Muhammet Samet; Ozden, Talat; Akinoglu, Bulent G.
The software used today, on the estimation of module temperature of photovoltaic systems, seem very important to be analyzed. These estimates are crucial in future techno-economic and environmentally friendly analyses of the systems to reach better achievements for future generations. This is very important to reach lifetime analyses of long-term feasibility to find out payback time and the levelized cost of energy. The present work is based on this issue, to test the module temperature estimation formulas used by four commonly used software models, and to determine the most suitable software for temperature analyses of five different photovoltaic modules in Middle Anatolia. Outdoor truthful long-term testing is the main realistic approach to reach fundamental contemplations. After an introductory basic knowledge, the main materials and methods are discussed to enlighten the analysis. The main methodology is given and further prospects are enlightened. Four well-known software are analyzed using four years of outdoor testing of five different photovoltaic modules. Measured ambient temperature and solar irradiance are used in the categorization of the software estimation performances. PV*SOL appears to be superior at low irradiance and ambient temperature, whereas Helioscope appears to be superior overall.

Akyüz, Ahmet Mutlu; Durmuş, İbrahim
The environment of uncertainty created by the COVID-19 pandemic period has caused difficulties especially for healthcare professionals in their work activities. The purpose of this research is to find out which variables might affect the commitment of healthcare professionals to their works during this COVID-19 period. Based on the data announced by the Ministry of Health during the pandemic in the first quarter of 2021, it was decided to conduct a research on doctors, nurses, caregivers, and medical secretaries working in hospitals in the cities of the Eastern Black Sea Region of Turkey which generally show high risk. In the developed research model, satisfactory conditions (SC), emotional commitment to change (ECC), and psychological ownership (PO) as variables that may directly or indirectly affect the commitment of healthcare professionals to their works (CW) were used. The Smart PLS program was used in the analysis of the research model and hypothesis. It was seen that the ECC of healthcare professionals has a positive and significant (.694; p <.000) effect on SC. It was understood that the PO of healthcare professionals has positive and significant effects on their CW (.394; p <.000). It was also observed that the presence of SC has positive and significant effects on the PO of the healthcare professionals in the current situation (.796; p <.000). It was observed that only the effect of ECC of healthcare professionals on their CW is insignificant (.097; p >.086). Looking at the indirect (intermediary) effects obtained as a result of the research, it was seen that all of the hypotheses consist of positive coefficients. This situation reveals that the mediating variables have complementary effects on the obtained results.

Karimullah, Suud Sarim
This study aimed to explore the complex implications of Islamic law on the rights of religious minorities in Muslim-majority countries. Through a comprehensive literature analysis, the study summarized information from various relevant text sources. The findings show the complex challenges faced by religious minorities when exercising the rights in Muslim-majority countries. Examining the impact of Islamic law on religious minorities' rights suggests that the legislation could provide a potential basis for protection. However, the interpretation and application of the law varies between countries. Introducing Islamic law into state policies often creates tensions between religious and universal human rights principles, requiring careful efforts to strike a delicate balance. In modern contexts, such as the impact of globalization and information technology, Muslim-majority countries are faced with challenges that prompt constant adaptation to ensure the effective protection of religious minorities’ rights. Therefore, addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive method including legal reform, interreligious dialogue, and community education to ensure that the rights of religious minorities are respected and substantially protected.

Altuntaş, Ümit; Güzel, İsmail; Özçelik, Beraat
This study aimed to evaluate the biochemical composition and biological activity of propolis samples from different regions of Türkiye to characterize and classify 24 Anatolian propolis samples according to their geographical origin. Chemometric techniques, namely, principal component analysis (PCA) and a hierarchical clustering algorithm (HCA), were applied for the first time to all data, including antioxidant capacity, individual phenolic constituents, and the antimicrobial activity of propolis to reveal the possible clustering of Anatolian propolis samples according to their geographical origin. As a result, the total phenolic content (TPC) of the propolis samples varied from 16.73 to 125.83 mg gallic acid equivalent per gram (GAE/g) sample, while the number of total flavonoids varied from 57.98 to 327.38 mg quercetin equivalent per gram (QE/g) sample. The identified constituents of propolis were phenolic/aromatic acids (chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid, p-coumaric acid, ferulic acid, and trans-cinnamic acid), phenolic aldehyde (vanillin), and flavonoids (pinocembrin, kaempferol, pinobanksin, and apigenin). This study has shown that the application of the PCA chemometric method to the biochemical composition and biological activity of propolis allows for the successful clustering of Anatolian propolis samples from different regions of Türkiye, except for samples from the Black Sea region.

Popescu, Cristina Raluca Gh.; Karapınar Kocağ, Esra
To begin with, Sustainable Development Goals are of tremendous importance in all areas, being seen as vital aims in all domains, which makes them indispensable when it comes to addressing the particularities of the labour market these days. Subsequently, human resources occupy a distinctive and unique position when referring to the implications derived from targeting Sustainable Development Goals, especially in the context represented by the period specific to the COVID-19 pandemic and the international events that followed immediately after that. This study investigates the work motivation of individuals, and whether they would be willing to work more hours if they are paid. Motivation and attitudes towards working more hours might be affected by several factors, and they are important contributors to business performance. Not only business performance is to be affected, but this is also a part of Sustainable Development Goals where labour market conditions and productivity concerns are addressed, along with several other factors. Using the Quarterly Labour Force Survey from 2017 to 2022 that is conducted by Statistics South Africa, this study attempts to shed light on individual preferences for working more hours in the case of South Africa. Considering the dichotomous dependent variable, a binary response model is utilised to explore the determinants of such behaviour. Findings of the probit model reveal that socio-demographic factors such as gender, marital status, education level, and work experience are important indicators to explain this preference. More precisely, being female increases the likelihood of willingness to work more hours if paid by 1.1 percentage points, and being never married increases that probability by 2.7 percentage points. Within education categories, the highest coefficient in magnitude, having tertiary education decreases the probability of willingness to work more hours by 8.2 percentage points. As an important labour market indicator, one more year to commence working increases the probability of willingness to work more hours by 0.4 percentage points.

Kobya, H.N.; Baltaci, C.; Karpuz, O.
Honey vinegar is little known in Turkey, while pollen- or propolis-added honey vinegar is yet to be found. Therefore, the objectives of the present work were to produce chestnut honey vinegar enriched with pollen and propolis, and to analyse their physicochemical compositions, mineral contents, colours, and antioxidant activities. Eleven different honey vinegars were produced using various methods. There were significant increases in the total antioxidant activity of both pollen- and propolis-enriched vinegars, with 73 and 56% increases, respectively, compared to plain honey vinegar, and these increases were more than twice that of grape vinegar. The ferric-reducing activity and phenolic content of vinegar enriched with propolis increased by 43 and 52%, respectively, compared to plain honey vinegar, and more than threefold compared to grape vinegar. Principal component analysis revealed a strong positive correlation among all antioxidant tests and the most significant components, including antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content, and total flavonoid content. The colour difference was determined as follows: 5 < total colour difference (∆E*ab). All vinegar samples exhibited highly variable physicochemical properties. High amounts of Na, K, Mg, and Ca were also detected. Vinegar samples containing pollen and propolis are suitable under the Turkish Food Codex legislation. The findings of the present work would encourage the production of honey vinegar enriched with pollen and propolis, as well as increase attention to honey vinegar.

Tekin, Bahar; Dundar, Serkan; Tekin, Samet; Emine Sukuroglu, Ebru; Khurshid, Zohaib; Ezgi, Yusuf; Demirci, Fatih; Faheemuddin, Muhammad
Background: This in vivo study evaluated the effect of graphene oxide and graphite coatings, coupled with the micro-arc oxidation (MAO) surface roughening technique, known for their mechanical strength, chemical stability, and antibacterial properties. The main objective was to assess the degree of improvement in osseointegration of titanium implants resulting from these interventions. Materials and methods: In this study, 32 female rats were utilized and randomly allocated into four groups (n = 8 each): machined surface titanium implants (control), those roughened by the MAO method, those coated with graphene oxide-doped MAO, and those with a graphite-doped MAO coating. Titanium implants were surgically placed in the right tibia of the rats. Rats undergoing no additional procedures during the 4-week experimental period were sacrificed at the end. Then, the implants and surrounding bone tissues were separated and embedded in acrylic blocks for reverse torque analysis. Using a digital torque device, the rotational force was applied to all samples using a hex driver and racquet until implant separation from the bone occurred, with the corresponding values recorded on the digital display. Then, statistical analysis was performed to analyze the data. Results: No statistically significant difference between the groups was observed in the biomechanical bone–implant connection levels (N/cm) (P = 0.268). Post-hoc tests were not required because no discernible differences were identified between the groups. Conclusion: Within the scope of this study, implants treated with the MAO method, along with those coated with graphene oxide- and graphite-doped MAO method, did not exhibit significant superiority in terms of osseointegration compared to machined surface titanium implants.

Şimşek, Ahmet Bahadır
Purpose: The study has two main objectives. The first is to introduce three new examination policy practices: overbooked exam rooms, a substitute invigilator and an inheritance of the invigilation distribution. The second is the use of the examination model to determine the sustainability of the system against expected changes and to obtain long-term strategic information. This study aims to obtain managerial insights on the sustainability of the examination system with the newly introduced practices; it does not claim to propose solutions for large-scale problems. Design/methodology/approach: This study introduces a multi-objective mathematical model that contains a couple of constraints that belong to new practices. To check the sustainability of the system, this study gets help from sensitivity analysis, which informs the decision-maker about how the results will react to parameter changes. The authors perform all experiments in the Python/Gurobi modeling environment. Findings: The results demonstrate that the proposed practices are effective in the efficient use of resources. Also, this study shows that the examination model can be used as a stress test so that the weaknesses of the system can be identified and long-term strategic information can be obtained. Originality/value: The contribution of this study is twofold: the introduction of examination policy practices that are overbooked exam rooms, a substitute invigilator and an inheritance of the invigilation distribution. Overbooked exam rooms aim to use resources effectively, taking into account the possibility of temporarily increasing the exam room capacity. The substitute invigilator protects the examination process against sudden events. The inheritance of the invigilation distribution helps to ensure fairness; and the use of the examination model to obtain managerial insights on expectations. This allows testing the validity of existing policies and making necessary changes, taking into account possible changes in the system. In this respect, it differs from the studies in the literature and fills an important managerial gap.

Savaşkan, T.; Azaklı, Z.; Tan, H.O.
To study the influence of nickel addition on the microstructure, mechanical and lubricated wear properties of Zn-40Al-2Cu alloy, one ternary and five quaternary Zn-40Al-2Cu-(0.5-2.5)Ni alloys were made by permanent mold casting. The wear behavior of these alloys was studied using a block-on-cylinder type test machine, after examining their microstructural and mechanical features. The microstructure of Zn-40Al-2Cu alloy was comprised of aluminum-rich α dendrites and a eutectoid α+η phase mixture. The addition of nickel caused the formation of intermetallic Al3Ni particles in the microstructure of this alloy. As the nickel content of alloys increased their hardness, friction coefficient, working temperature, and average surface roughness increased to certain extents but their strength, ductility, impact resistance, and wear volume decreased. However, the values of their wear volume and average surface roughness exhibited opposite changes with increasing nickel content. The worn surfaces of Zn-40Al-2Cu-Ni alloys were observed to be characterized by smearing and scratching marks. Furthermore, the wear and mechanical properties of these alloys were correlated, and the results were discussed in terms of their microstructural features. Finally, it may be concluded that the nickel addition adversely affects the ductility of Zn-40Al-2Cu alloy but increases its wear resistance.

Seferoğlu, Mehmet Tevfik; Seferoğlu, Ayşegül Güneş; Akaryali, Enver
Tunnels are road transport structures that reduce traffic and expropriation problems, noise, and possible damage to animals and plants, and provide safer, more comfortable, and faster transportation for vehicles compared to highways. However, some environmental problems occur during tunnel construction. These problems such as vibration, noise, rock throwing, etc. caused by the blasting process used during tunnel excavation on buildings and people should be well investigated. In this study, two buildings located close to the exit and entrance of two tunnels (T2 and T3 tunnels) on the Gümüşhane belt road were chosen to investigate. Firstly, the existing damages in the first building, which is 7 m away from the T2 tunnel exit, and the second building, which is 60 m away from the T3 tunnel entrance, were analyzed by considering criteria such as the geological and ground condition of the land and the building materials used during the construction of those building. In addition, the negative effects on the buildings were evaluated by calculating the vibrations after the blasting process in the tunnel with the help of various empirical formulas. Investigation on site showed that building 1 was built of masonry and building 2 was built of reinforced concrete, and that deep cracks had formed in the bearing systems of both buildings, spills occurred in the walls, and fractures in the windows. Also, calculations with empirical formulas showed that the vibration rates caused by blasting process in the 1st and 2nd buildings were as 385.68 mm/sec and 6.91 mm/sec, respectively, and these vibration values were above the standard values. The data obtained through examination on-site and empirical approaches show that it would be dangerous for people to be resident in both buildings.

In this study, the physicochemical properties, antioxidant capacity, sensory properties, and phenolic and mineral profiles of instant rosehip teas prepared using spray-drying (SD) and freeze-drying (FD) were compared. The yield of instant tea produced using FD and SD was 23.75 and 21.25 g/100 g, respectively. The total color difference between the FD and SD tea was 50.74, with the SD sample exhibiting higher redness and yellowness. The FD tea was richer in ascorbic acid than SD tea (67.2 and 59.4 mg/100 g dry weight, DW, respectively). The mineral content ranged from 0.20 mg/kg DW (copper) to 2,837 mg/kg DW (potassium) in SD tea, and from 0.31 mg/kg DW (copper) to 3,083 mg/kg DW (potassium) in FD samples. The total phenolic content was 1,315 and 1,495 mg GAE/100 g DW of SD and FD samples, respectively. The antioxidant capacity of instant rosehip teas was determined as total antioxidant capacity, ferric reducing antioxidant power and DPPH radical scavenging activity. In all these assays, FD tea was found to have a higher antioxidant capacity. In the phenolic profile determined by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technique, protocatechuic acid dominated in instant rosehip teas prepared using both methods. The main flavonoids identified were quercetin, quercitrin, hyperoside and luteolin 7-glucoside. Following the sensory analysis, the panelists have generally preferred the FD tea in terms of aroma and flavor, while opting for the SD tea in terms of appearance and color. In conclusion, although freeze-drying allowed obtaining a product with a higher antioxidant capacity and antioxidant content than spray-drying, both drying methods may be considered suitable for the production of instant rosehip teas and ensure obtaining a functional food product.
