19. Yüzyıl İstanbul Endüstri Mirasına Palimpsest Kavramı Üzerinden Ontolojik Değerlendirme
(Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2025) Ural, Ayşe Gülçin
Eski yazılı parşömen kağıtlarının silinip üzerine yeniden yazılar yazılması, ancak eski yazı izlerinin hala görünüyor olması hali palimpsest olarak tariflenmektedir. Mekân üzerinden bu kavramı incelemek gerekirse; yeniden işlevlendirilen yapılar içinden eski işlevin ve yapım biçiminin izlerini hala görebilmek şeklinde yorumlanabilmektedir. İstanbul gibi büyük tarihe sahip bir kentte, yeniden işlevlendirilmeye ihtiyaç duyan pek çok tarihi yapı bulunmaktadır. Bu yapılar içinde palimpsest kavramının daha net bir şekilde algılanabileceği yapı tipinin endüstri yapıları olduğu düşünülmüştür. Bu nedenle çalışma İstanbul, Avrupa ve Anadolu yakasında bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapıları ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı ise İstanbul’da bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapılarının 2024 yılındaki durumlarına göre palimpsest kavramı üzerinden değerlendirme ve sorgulama yapmaktır. Çalışmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden genel tarama modeli, belgesel tarama modeli ve tarihsel tarama modelinden faydalanılmıştır. Kavramsal zemini oluşturmak için genel tarama modeli ile palimpsest kavramına ve mekân ontolojisine dair inceleme yapılmıştır. Belgesel tarama yoluyla, tespit edilen yapıların çeşitli özelliklerine dair veri toplanmıştır. Tarihsel tarama ile ise yapıların yapım yılından itibaren geçirdiği süreç ve 2024 aralık ayında ne durumda olduğuna dair tespit yapmak istenmiştir. Toplanan teknik veriler ve görseller hermenötik yöntem ile değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda İstanbul’da bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapıları içinde 11 adet Avrupa yakasında, 4 adet Anadolu yakasında palimpsest olarak değerlendirilebilecek yapı tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma; İstanbul’da bulunan 19. yy. endüstri yapılarının 2024 yılındaki durumlarını listelemek açısından ve bu yapıları mekânın ontolojisi üzerinden değerlendirilerek palimpsest kavramı ile yorumlamak açısından gerekli görülmüştür.
Advances in Ferritin Biosensors: Rapid and Cost-Effective Iron Level Assessment
(Field Crops Central Research Institute, 2025) Vonalioglu, Sena; Okur, Muhammed Daghan; Üstünsoy, Recep; Ertaş, Tahsin; Dinç, Bircan
Iron is an essential element crucial for oxygen transport in the bloodstream; however, deviations from its normal physiological levels can result in health complications. Iron deficiency is a widespread condition and a leading cause of anemia globally. Conversely, excessive iron accumulation can cause severe liver damage, such as cirrhosis, by exacerbating oxidative stress. Consequently, assessing iron status through biomarkers like ferritin, which is a protein that reflects the body’s iron stores, is critical for diagnosing iron-related disorders accurately. The ferritin test, which measures the concentration of ferritin protein in the blood, is a standard method for iron analysis. However, frequent hospital visits for such testing can be both time-intensive and expensive. This has driven significant interest in developing rapid and cost-effective methods for ferritin detection. To meet this demand, a variety of biosensors have been designed using diverse techniques to enable convenient ferritin analysis. Despite considerable advancements in biosensor technologies, a comprehensive classification and analysis of these devices remain lacking, leaving researchers without a unified understanding of their comparative strengths and limitations. This review addresses this gap by systematically categorizing ferritin biosensors based on their underlying mechanisms. The review explores electrochemical biosensors, such as those based on graphene, microfluidics, and ZnO–Mn3O4 nanocomposites, as well as electrical biosensors using quantum dots or gold nanorods. Additionally, optical biosensors, including photonic crystal sensors, surface plasmon resonance systems and magnesium sulfide nanosheets are discussed in detail. Unconventional and immunoassay-based biosensors, such as nanodiamond-based magnetic sensors and nanowire FETs, are also examined to highlight the breadth of detection strategies available. With the rising prevalence of iron-related disorders and the limitations of traditional diagnostic tools, this review underscores the critical need for portable, rapid, and cost-effective ferritin biosensing technologies, offering insights relevant to both clinical practice and future research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Avatar: a Film at the Center of the Feminine Other
(Univ Pittsburgh, Univ Library System, 2025) Dereboyu, Pelin Guregen; Guzel, Ebru; Olaru, Gabriela Oana; Ayberk, Erhan
This study analyzes James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar from the perspective of the feminine other through deconstruction. In the movie, nature and the Na'vi people are depicted as feminine, while modern man and the science, technology, and military power he represents are portrayed as masculine. Although it critiques the colonialist structure of modernity, the film's narrative structure and character portrayals indicate that it reproduces the superiority of Western-centered ideology and the masculine mind. The study analyzes how the film's narrative and character representations implicitly support masculine centrism. The analysis reveals how nature and marginalized cultures are romanticized and presented in the film and how the notion that the feminine can only survive by adopting masculine traits is processed in the subtext. Grounded in a conceptual and theoretical framework, this research focuses on the sustainability of the patriarchal capitalist system and gender politics while critically examining how cinema reconstructs ideological structures through the narratives in the film.

Beautiful, Sexy, and Happy Celebrities: Perfect Mothers or Instamoms
(Bridgewater State College, 2023) Güzel, E.
The development of information technologies and the Internet has created an enormous economy. In line with this digital transformation, cultural change has come about. Global companies create new trends focused on vanity and pleasure in social media that follow the patriarchal capitalist ideology. Motherhood has also been included in this process, and “perfect motherhood,” as an extension to new generation motherhood, has been popularized on social media. Perfect motherhood requires mothers who are responsible for looking after children and the home to also be successful in their professional and personal lives while looking beautiful, young, chic, sexy, and fit. Recently the celebrification of motherhood, which can be seen on Instagram, became another quality added to the requirements of being a perfect mother. Heightened during the new post-COVID times, the “Instamom” phenomenon conceals the fact that women are driven to more states of increased precarity and vulnerability, alongside unemployment, exploitation, and ecological and economic crises. This study analyzes the perfect motherhood myth through Instamom case studies and attempts to show how Instamoms are perceived by mothers and mothers-to-be. By adopting the digital ethnography method, 30 Instamom accounts (with followers ranging from 135,000 to 3.5 million) in Turkey were observed for a year via passive participant observations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with six Instamoms and 12 follower mothers and mothers-to-be. In conclusion, it was discovered that Instamoms were perceived by their followers as exemplars of knowledge and beauty. Furthermore, the study revealed that both groups were part of the celebrification and branding process, and those who shared knowledge based on experience were considered sincere and created a bigger impression on their followers. It was also discovered that when sharing on social media, these Instamoms attempted to look their best. Moreover, Instamom accounts that prominently use children to increase viewer interaction demonstrate issues related to the “commercialization of childhood.” Tangible advice for transformative change is included at the end of the research. © 2022 Journal of International Women’s Studies.

Challenging Discrimination in Different Areas: Turkey
(Peter Lang AG, 2021) Akincilar Köseoğlu, N.; Apak, D.
This book aims to evaluate the issue of discrimination in Turkey from different points of view. Valued academics have addressed issues of discrimination in different fields such as press, sports media, social media, politics, political discourse, immigration, economics, architecture, gender, identity, and violence. Turkey is also encountered in both implicit and explicit examples of discrimination in a way as it is in many other countries. Discrimination can be adopted through discourses and can be reproduced in a wide range from politics to sports, from media to economy and can also be carried over generations. Although legal arrangements have been made against discrimination, discrimination is still active in different parts of society and in different areas. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2021.

(Galenos Publishing House, 2024) Bilaç, Ö.; Dikeç, G.; Akyol, C.K.; Kale, M.K.; Sapmaz, Ş.Y.; Kandemir, H.; Aydemir, Ö.
Objectives: The number of studies on mindfulness in children and adolescents has rised in recent years, and it is crucial to evaluate the mindfulness-based interventions applied with standardized measurement tools. This aim of this study was to make the Turkish language validity and reliability of the Child and Adolescent Mindfulness Measure (CAMM), which can be used in children and adolescents about mindfulness, which has been very well-liked in recent years, and which has validity and reliability in many languages, and to bring it into our language for the ages of 9-18. Materials and Methods: The total sample of the current study consisted of 156 children and adolescents, 48 of whom were children and adolescents with any mental disorderdiagnosis according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5). One hundred eight of them did not have any mental disorders diagnosis according to DSM-5, who had only periodic problems or were brought for counseling. Results: In the reliability analysis of the scale, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.76 for the whole scale. In test-retest reliability two weeks apart, the two measurements have a strong correlation between the measurements (r=0.634 p<0.0001). Conclusion: In conclusion, our findings show that the Turkish version of the CAMM is a valid and reliable measurement tool for the 9-18 age group. © 2024, Galenos Publishing House.

Classification of Noisy Histopathology Images with Bayesian and Ensemble Deep Learning
(SPIE, 2025) Akturk, B.; Bilgin, G.
The classification of histopathology image data using deep learning algorithms is a pivotal aspect in cancer diagnosis, offering crucial benefits in terms of accuracy and rapid decision-making for pathologists, technologists, clinicians, and researchers. However, the complex process of data structuring and labeling often involves the presence of noisy or outlier labels and images, which inevitably diminish the training and predictive efficacy of classification models. This study introduces an innovative approach for classifying histopathology images with noisy characteristics, presenting a learning process resilient to noise. In this dataset, where classification performance is inherently challenged, popular transfer learning models are integrated with Bayesian deep learning and ensemble learning algorithms. This integration helps mitigate common problems such as overfitting and underfitting in outlier data predictions, yielding more stable outcomes. These hybrid methods, unaffected by the noise and uncertainty in data structures, demonstrate performance comparable to, or even surpassing, transfer learning algorithms. Consequently, the viability of addressing real-world noisy dataset scenarios is enhanced. Experimental results indicate that the proposed ensemble Bayesian transfer learning algorithms match the success of pre-trained transfer learning algorithms and offer an alternative to time-consuming model validation techniques, underscoring the practical application of ensemble Bayesian transfer learning in enhancing uncertainty assessments. · © 2025 SPIE · 0277-786X ·

Comparative Evaluation of Vision Transformers and Convolutional Networks for Breast Ultrasound Image Classification
(Open Exploration Publishing Inc, 2026) Naral S.; Cakmak Y.; Pacal I.
Aim: Interobserver variability continues to limit the consistency of breast ultrasound interpretation. This study compares two Vision Transformer (ViT) models and two Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models for automated three-class breast ultrasound classification, with a specific focus on the tradeoff between predictive performance and computational efficiency. Methods: Swin Transformer Base and DeiT Base were evaluated alongside InceptionV3 and MobileNetV3 Large using the public Breast Ultrasound Images (BUSI) dataset, which contains 780 images labeled as benign, malignant, and normal. A consistent on-the-fly augmentation pipeline was applied during training to promote robustness and reduce sensitivity to incidental image variations. Results: Swin Transformer Base achieved the highest test accuracy (0.9167) and F1 score (0.8981). MobileNetV3 Large reached an accuracy of 0.8583 with substantially lower computational demand. The efficiency contrast was pronounced, with Swin requiring 30.33 GFLOPs versus 0.43 GFLOPs for MobileNetV3 Large. Conclusions: On this benchmark, ViT models can yield higher classification performance, while lightweight CNNs offer a strong efficiency profile that may better match deployment-constrained settings. These results suggest that model selection should be guided by both predictive accuracy and operational feasibility within the target clinical workflow. © The Author(s) 2026.

Comparison of the Hidden Curriculum for Nursing Education of Two Different Universities in the East and West of Turkiye
(Inonu University, 2024) Elmali Şimşek, H.; Aksoy, M.
The present study aimed to determine and compare the hidden curriculum of two institutions that provide undergraduate nursing education in two different regions of Türkiye. The descriptive and cross-sectional research was conducted with 319 nursing students. Data were collected with the Introductory Information Form and Hidden Curriculum Evaluation Scale in Nursing Education (HCES-N). While the mean score of the HCES-N total score of the nursing students attending the university in the West of Türkiye was 163.31 ± 21.69. The HCES-N total mean score of the nursing students attending in the East of Türkiye was calculated as 145.50 ± 25.81. While the HCES-N total score, school atmosphere, and professional achievement scores of the nursing students attending the university in the West of Türkiye were statistically higher than the nursing students attending the university in the east, the student-teacher-school interaction score was statistically lower. It was determined that the perceptions of the students participating in the study towards the hidden curriculum were moderate, while the perceptions of the students studying in the West of Türkiye were better. In line with these results, it is important to improve the physical conditions of schools in improving the hidden curriculum. © 2024, Inonu University. All rights reserved.

A Comprehensive and Integrated Hospital Decision Support System for Efficient and Effective Healthcare Services Delivery Using Discrete Event Simulation
(Elsevier Inc., 2023) Ordu, M.; Demir, E.; Tofallis, C.; Gunal, M.M.
The difficulty that hospital management has been experiencing over the past decade in balancing demand and capacity needs is unprecedented in the United Kingdom. Due to a shortage of capacity, hospitals cannot treat all patients. We developed a whole hospital-level decision support system to assess and respond to the needs of local populations. We integrated a comparative forecasting approach and discrete event simulation modelling using Hospital Episode Statistics and local datasets. It is clear from the literature that this level of whole hospital simulation model has never been developed before (an innovative decision support system). First, the demands of all hospital specialties were forecasted, and the forecasts were embedded into the simulation model as input. Secondly, a simulation model was developed to capture the patient pathway of all specialties. The model integrates every component of a hospital to aid with efficient and effective use of scarce resources (e.g., staff and beds). As a result, the hospital can meet the increasing demand with its current resources. According to the scenario analysis, the hospital bed occupancy rate will reach the national target (i.e., 85%), and the total hospital revenue will increase by approximately 13%, with a 10% increase in A&E and outpatient and a 20% increase in inpatient demand. In conclusion, the hospital-level simulation model can become a crucial instrument for decision-makers to provide an efficient service for hospitals in England and other parts of the world. © 2023 The Authors
The Correlation Between Vitamin D Levels and Thyroid Functions in Early Pregnancy
(Yuzuncu Yil Universitesi Tip Fakultesi, 2025) Dinmez, Sinem; Özlem, Dülger; Oğul, Zeynep
Vitamin D deficiency (serum vitamin D <10 ng/ml) and thyroid dysfunctions are prevalent issues globally, particularly during pregnancy. Evidence suggests a potential link between thyroid function and vitamin D levels. This study aims to investigate the correlation between serum vitamin D levels and thyroid functions in wome n during the first trimester of pregnancy. The study was conducted retrospectively at a University Education and Research Hospital’s pregnancy clinic, covering data from August 2023 to March 2024. The sample group consisted of first -trimester pregnant women who attended routine pregnancy check-ups and had complete vitamin D levels and thyroid function tests (n=185). The sociodemographic data form and blood serum level assessment forms were used as data collection tools. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. The average age of the pregnant women participating in our study was 27.6±4.9 years, and the Body Mass Index (BMI) was 25.4±4.8 (overweight). The mean number of pregnancies was 1.13±0.3, and the gestational week was 8.19±1.8. Of the participants, 35 had subclinical hypothyroidism, 37 had thyroiditis, and 113 had normal thyroid functions. The study identified 36 women with normal/adequate vitamin D levels (≥20 ng/ml), 113 with vitamin D insufficiency (10–20 ng/ml), and 36 with vitamin D deficiency (<10 ng/ml). The correlation analysis revealed no significant relationship between the thyroid function tests and vitamin D levels of the pregnant women. It was determined that vitamin D levels do not affect thyroid gland function in the first trimester.
The Correlational Study of the Vertical Jump Test and Wingate Cycle Test as a Method To Assess Anaerobic Power in Road Cyclists
(Nevzat Demirci, 2023) Ulusoy, Y.; Koçak, F.
Road Cycling is an important sport that uses anaerobic and aerobic metabolism and especially sprinter cyclists have higher anaerobic capacity. The assessment of anaerobic power in cyclists often involves the use of the vertical jump and Wingate cycle tests. The lack of research in the field of cycling-specific tests to assess anaerobic performance has led to the improvement of existing research. The objective of this research was to investigate the correlation between the vertical jump test and the Wingate anaerobic cycling tests, both of which are often used to assess anaerobic power in road cyclists. A correlation study was conducted on 15 athletes of the Turkish national road cycling team in the 14-16 age group (15.107 ± 0.717 (SD)). The sample of the study was determined by using the convenient sampling method. On the first day, anthropometric measurements and the vertical jump test were conducted. The Wingate cycle ergometer test, lasting for a duration of 30 seconds, was administered to the participants on the second day. The computer application was used to determine the 30-second peak and average anaerobic power during the test. The results acquired from the study revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between the vertical jump performance and the peak power production measured during the Wingate cycle test (r=0.321, p<0.05). The findings indicate that vertical jump tests may serve as suitable field measurements of anaerobic power for road cyclists, as an alternative to the laboratory-based Wingate anaerobic test. © The Author(s) 2023.
Decentralisation as Resistance: Web3’s Potential in Countering Digital Censorship and Redefining Cyber Sovereignty
(Eotvos Lorand Tudomanyegyetem, 2024) Eldem, T.
The Internet, initially celebrated as a bastion of freedom and openness, is increasingly becoming a domain of control, surveillance, and regulation by both states and private entities. The rise of state control and regulation of the Internet, along with the private sector’s expanding control over information, poses significant challenges to the ideals of freedom and openness that once defined the Internet. This article examines the transformation in Internet governance from a state of minimal regulation to a heavily controlled environment by both governments and corporations and explores how the blockchain technology and decentralised architecture underlying Web3 promise to redefine Internet governance and resist censorship. Through a mixed-method approach that synthesises insights from computer science, political science, and legal studies, the paper argues that public blockchains challenge Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers’ (ICANN) traditional control over DNS and significantly reduce the ability of centralised entities to exert control over content and communication, thereby enhancing freedom of expression and resisting censorship. The ability of Web3 to fully realise this potential is, however, dependent on overcoming complex technical and regulatory challenges. © 2024, Eotvos Lorand Tudomanyegyetem. All rights reserved.

Design and Development of a New Tactile Stimulator
(Ieee, 2019) Kazma, Coskun; Levent, Vecdi Emre; Aydin, Nizamettin
We have designed and implement a tactile stimulator to obtain information from the central nervous system. Our system consists of two main components. The first one is tactile stimulator, which was designed to stimulate index and middle finger tips, stimulating mechanoreceptors according to the test protocol. Second one is a personal computer running a desktop software for the implementation of test protocols. The flow is as follows; the subjects are asked the question of the test protocol through the personal computer. The parameters are then transmitted to the embedded board on the machine. The embedded board drives step motors to apply the relevant test parameters. The desktop software expects the individual to answer the question using the right or the left mouse button of the computer mouse. After answering the relevant question, the test proceeds to the next step. According to the test protocol, the stimulation process of the mechanoreceptors located at the index and middle finger tips must start and terminate at the same time. From this perspective, the embedded board with 3 18F46K22 PIC microcontrollers produces 2 square wave signals with different frequencies and amplitudes at the same time. The embedded system card developed with the PIC microcontroller is also developed with FPGA. The system has also been tested on 24 blue and white collar employees and a significant result has been obtained.
The Destruction of a Generation by War: Syrian Families, Children’s Education, and the Risks for Turkey
(Dr. Esmeralda F. Sanchez, 2025) Terekli, M.S.; Beşiktaş, M.Y.
This study examines the phenomenon of migration, focusing on Syrian families under temporary protection who migrated to Turkey following the mass movement of people from Syria after 2011. The research explores the education of Syrian children and the risks faced by Turkey in this context. It also evaluates the economic, social, and cultural impacts of the Syrian refugee crisis on Turkey, highlighting both its positive and negative aspects, as well as related security concerns. Syrian children require increased access to psychological and psychiatric healthcare services. However, many are forced to work under harsh conditions as cheap labor. The employment rates of these children, categorized by age groups, exhibit similarities to those in Turkey but differ significantly from global trends. Applying these observations to Turkey, this study discusses the stages of educational services provided to Syrian children and suggests practical recommendations to improve their quality. The findings reveal that although Syrian children increasingly benefit from educational services each year, their participation rates remain below Turkey's national average. The study also highlights deficiencies in education, healthcare, employment, and socioeconomic conditions for children under temporary protection. Predictably, migration flows intensify during periods of intense conflict. Data from international organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) have been utilized in this research. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
Detached Yet Connected: Life and Tension Between the Dodecanese Islands and the Turkish Mainland in the Interwar Period
(Taylor and Francis, 2024) Papuççular, H.
This chapter shows that the formation of a vague border in the Aegean Sea after the transfer of the Dodecanese to Italy created legal and quotidian problems for the islanders. It reveals that these problems, ranging from property rights to fishing and sponge-diving rights, could not be solved within this period as constant tension reigned in the Aegean. However, the formation of a border did not mean the total disruption of the connection between the islands and the Anatolian mainland. On the contrary, the mobility of the islanders generated a constant challenge to the notion of a border, the constitution of which was apparently not only a political but also a social process. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Valerie McGuire and Aron Rodrigue.

Digital Society and Togetherness Against Discrimination: Analyzing Reactions in Turkish Tweets on George Floyd Protest
(Peter Lang AG, 2021) Eyrek, A.
This study aims to examine how people react, interact, and come together against discrimination by using social media even if they are in a spatially different location. George Floyd protests spreading around the world are selected as case study for explaining reaction against discrimination on social media. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd died after being arrested by police officers in Minneapolis, United States. After the footage that displays the fatal arresting of George Floyd by police officers had been circulated on social media, street demonstrations were organized. The reaction of people spread through social media networks around the world. Using social movement theories as a theoretical framework and applying a content analysis, this study focuses on the tweets that are written in Turkish under the hashtags related to George Floyd’s death. The data set involves 12 thousand tweets, between May 28 and June 4 (during the first weeks of protests). The results reveal that social media is an essential part of interaction with people and combination of solidarity against discrimination. © Peter Lang GmbH Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften Berlin 2021.
