Article Comparative Evaluation of Vision Transformers and Convolutional Networks for Breast Ultrasound Image Classification(Open Exploration Publishing Inc, 2026) Naral S.; Cakmak Y.; Pacal I.; Pacal, Ishak; Cakmak, Yigitcan; Naral, SuleymanAim: 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.Article Social Media and Financial Decisions: The Influence of Socio-Demographics and Financial Literacy(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2026) Altinbas, H.This study investigates the predictors of individuals' reliance on social media for financial decision-making within the context of Türkiye's high-inflation environment and the associated surge in retail investor participation. Data were collected via an online survey utilizing the OECD's financial literacy toolkit. The results indicate that gender, family structure, high-risk asset preferences, and financial literacy predict social media usage for financial information. Specifically, males, individuals who invest in stocks or cryptocurrencies, and those with higher financial literacy demonstrate a greater propensity to access financial information on social media; conversely, households with children exhibit lower reliance on social media information. © 2026 American Association of Family and Consumer Sciences.Article “Our Lives Have Gone” Experiences in and After Kahramanmaraş\Türkiye Earthquake: A Qualitative Research(Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, 2025) Gümüş, F.; Dikeç, G.AIM: This study aimed to examine the experiences and emotions of individuals who experienced the Kahramanmaraş earthquake. METHODS: This study’s data, which were collected using qualitative research methods, were collected through face-to-face individual interviews between March 20 and March 21, 2023, after the earthquake in Hatay and Diyarbakır. The purposive sample method, one of the purposeful random sampling methods, was used in the research. A total of 35 individuals formed the study’s sample. Colaizzi’s phenomenological interpretation method was used in the analysis of the data. RESULTS: The data obtained from the individual interviews with the participants were gathered under three main themes: earthquake moment, emotions, and after the earthquake. In the study, it was determined that the participants stated that they were terrified by the noise and shaking at the time of the earthquake; they could not go out immediately, it was cold when they went out, and they witnessed that everywhere was dark and destroyed. It was determined that the emotions experienced by the participants were anger, helplessness, guilt, hope, and hopelessness, and they expressed their needs after the earthquake, the difficulties in getting help, and the losses they experienced. CONCLUSION: Remarkably, the study results are often parallel to acute stress, loss, and grief reactions, and the needs of individuals are the basic principles of psychological first aid. © 2025, Istanbul University-Cerrahpasa, Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing.

Sixty individuals aged 18–50 years with CLBP due to LDH were randomized into two groups: peloid therapy (n=30) and hot pack therapy (n=30). Treatments were applied five days a week for 15 sessions, and all partici-pants received 20 minutes of lumbar TENS per session. Evaluations were conducted before and after treatment, including pain (VAS), Back Pain Functional Scale (BPFS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), quality of life (SF-36), range of motion, and finger-floor distance (FFD). Peloid group showed significant improvements in BPFS, physical functioning, role limitations due to emotional problems, vitality, emotional well-being, pain, and general health compared to the hot pack group (p<0.05). Both groups showed significant reducti-ons in VAS, ODI and FFD scores (p<0.05), with no significant between-group differences (p>0.05). In conclusion, while both treatments were effective in reducing pain and disabili-ty, peloid therapy provided superior improvements in functional status and quality of life compared to hot pack therapy. © 2025 by the authors.Article Multipl Skleroz Öz Yönetim Ölçeğinin Türk Toplumuna Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması(Dokuz Eylul University, 2025) Tosun, Anil; Eroglu, NermınGiriş: Multipl Skleroz (MS), fiziksel ve psikolojik hasara neden olan ve oldukça değişken prognoza sahip kronik, otoimmün bir hastalıktır.

Amaç: Bu sistematik derlemede infertilite tedavisinde akupunktur uygulamasının, gebelik ve canlı doğum sonuçları üzerine etkisini inceleyen araştırma sonuçlarını sistematik olarak değerlendirmek amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Bu sistematik derleme başlangıç yıl sınırı yapılmadan Ağustos 2023- Ekim 2023 tarihleri arasında Cochrane, Science Direct ve Pubmed veri tabanları tarandı. Yayınlanan 847 çalışmadan 15 çalışma inceleme kapsamına alındı. Bulgular: Sistematik derlemeye dahil edilen 15 çalışmadan; 6 çalışmada akupunkturun canlı doğum sonucunu olumlu etkilediği 8 çalışmada ise etkilemediği belirlenmiştir. 1 çalışmada örneklem grubundaki kadınların canlı gebelik oranı etkilenmese de 35 yaş üstü kadınlarda akupunkturun etkili olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir. Çalışmalarda akupunkturun farklı zamanlarda, farklı bölgelere uygulanması, kontrol gruplarında hiç akupunktur uygulanmayan veya plasebo akupunktur uygulanan (sahte iğne ile gerçek akupunktur grubu ile aynı bölgeye uygulananlar veya akupunktur bölgesi olmayan yerlere uygulananlar) grupların oluşturulması gibi heterojeniteler bulunmaktadır. Sonuç: 15 çalışmanın incelendiği sistematik derlemede; akupunkturun gebelik ve canlı doğum oranlarını arttırdığını belirten ve etkilemediği sonucuna ulaşan çalışma sayıları birbirine çok yakındır. Akupunktur uygulanmasının infertilite tedavisinde yer alması, tartışmalı bir konu olarak devamlılığını korumakta ve konu ile ilgili kanıt düzeyi yüksek randomize kontrollü çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.Article Psychological Effects of Robotic Rehabilitation in Individuals With Spinal Cord Injury: A Narrative Review(BMC, 2025) Ibrahim, Ismail A.; Mounir, Mennatallah M.; Hussein, Omar; Parnian, Nadieh; Sefertas, Ece; Ravanbod, Amin; Arican, Tuna ErenIntroductionSpinal cord injury (SCI) is associated with severe physical, psychological, and social burdens. Robotic rehabilitation, especially robotic-assisted gait training, is increasingly used to improve functional recovery. Nonetheless, its psychological effects which are key to motivation, compliance, and long-term prognosis have received little scrutiny.MethodsWe conducted a narrative review across five databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, Embase) from inception to January 2025. Studies were included if they evaluated robotic rehabilitation in SCI and reported psychological outcomes. Findings were synthesized thematically into domains of anxiety/technophobia, motivation/engagement, self-efficacy/dependence, and frustration/quality of life.ResultsRobotic systems frequently improved autonomy, motivation, and self-confidence, which corresponded to less depression and a better quality of life. Nevertheless, negative effects including technophobia, frustration from technological malfunction, and loss of self-efficacy from excessive dependence were found. Patient experiences ranged: empowerment and new optimism were reported by some patients, whereas others experienced the devices as complicated, emotionally alienating, or inadequately adjustable.DiscussionRobotic rehabilitation has a dual psychological effect. On one hand, it encourages engagement and emotional resilience; on the other, it carries risks of interdependence and diminished autonomy. There are ethical issues to be resolved access disparities, data protection, and preserving human connection that require careful management. The inclusion of psychological screening, education of patients, and specific goal-setting within protocols can maximize results.ConclusionRobotic rehabilitation is highly capable of promoting progress after SCI if psychological considerations are completely incorporated into rehabilitation interventions. A multimodal approach that is interdisciplinary and ethically solid is required to achieve optimized functional improvement as well as psychosocial health.Article Tsunami Awareness: A Case Study Of Hasköy, Beyoğlu, İstanbul(Afet ve Acil Durum Yönetimi Başkanlığı (AFAD), 2025) Taskin, H.; Gunaydin, D.H.; Yücel, G.An earthquake-triggered tsunami, originating from seismic activity in seas and oceans, poses a significant threat to coastal settlements within its impact zone. As part of risk reduction efforts, enhancing public awareness of tsunamis is crucial for mitigating potential disaster-related damages. Accordingly, this study emphasizes the importance of tsunami awareness initiatives by assessing the pre-disaster knowledge levels of the community. The study aims to measure the tsunami-related knowledge and awareness levels of residents in a settlement exposed to tsunami hazards. In this qualitative research, data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted with business owners and employees in a purposively selected settlement. The study was carried out in the Piripaşa neighborhood of the Hasköy district in Istanbul’s Beyoğlu region, specifically within the coastal area parallel to the shoreline of the Golden Horn. Data were obtained from 22 active commercial enterprises out of 50 located along this coastal road. During the interviews, five key questions were posed to assess the respondents’ basic knowledge of tsunami awareness. The questionnaire also included images of tsunami evacuation route signs. The questions covered demographic characteristics, business activity sector, knowledge of tsunami hazards, awareness of the region’s tsunami risk, familiarity with tsunami evacuation procedures, and knowledge of relevant institutions and organizations involved in tsunami preparedness. The findings of the study indicate that the majority of the surveyed enterprises predominantly operate within the service sector. Furthermore, the results reveal a notably low level of awareness among participants regarding tsunami hazards, as well as limited knowledge of appropriate response behaviors during such events. While 50% of participants believe that the region is not at risk of tsunamis, 59% reported being aware of tsunami warning signs, which is a notable observation. Enhancing awareness of tsunami hazards and the region’s tsunami risk level is both essential and a priority. © (2025), (Afet ve Acil Durum Yonetimi Baskanligi (AFAD)). All right reserved.Article 19. Yüzyıl İstanbul Endüstri Mirasına Palimpsest Kavramı Üzerinden Ontolojik Değerlendirme(Atatürk Üniversitesi, 2025) Ural, Ayşe GülçinEski 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.Article 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.
