Article Turkish Translation and Cultural Adaptation of the Test of Ideational Praxis(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2026) Asqarova, Sevda; May-Benson, Teresa; Sagliyan, Mustafa; Balikci, Aymen; Sirma, Gamze CaglaIntroduction: The Test of Ideational Praxis is a performance-based assessment designed to identify ideational praxis difficulties in children aged 3-12. However, Turkish therapists are currently unable to use this tool due to the lack of a linguistically and culturally appropriate version. This study aimed to develop a culturally adapted Turkish version of the Test of Ideational Praxis to support future normative data collection, psychometric evaluations and clinical application.Method: A seven-step process for translation and cross-cultural adaptation was conducted, including forward and backwards translation, expert synthesis, linguistic review, structured therapist evaluations and pre-testing with children. Each step was guided by established literature and best practice guidelines.Findings: The translation and adaptation process was completed successfully with 29 participants, including translators, therapists and 10 typically developing children aged 6-8 years (four girls and six boys). While minor revisions were required during the synthesis and linguistic review phases, the forward translations showed strong semantic and conceptual consistency. Discrepancies observed in the back translation were limited to phrasing and did not affect standardised administration or scoring. Both therapists and children confirmed that the Turkish version was clear, comprehensible and culturally appropriate, with no expressions, instructions or symbolic representations perceived as problematic.Conclusion: The Turkish translation and adaptation of the Test of Ideational Praxis provides a culturally adapted instrument that supports future validation studies and clinical piloting, offering a foundation for both research and practice on ideational praxis development in Türkiye.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Selection of Sustainable Facade Materials for Buildings Using Fermatean Fuzzy AHP & WASPAS Methodology(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2025) Aydeniz, E.G.; Güven, İ.; Özçelik, N.; Çetin, H.T.; Ünlü, E.The selection of sustainable facade materials is critical for achieving a sustainable built environment. Multi-criteria decision-making approaches can be used to determine the best alternative among the others considered in selecting sustainable facade materials. Fermatean Fuzzy Sets (FFSs) can represent the uncertainty in this selection and expand the parameter domain of this uncertainty. This study proposes an integrated analytical model based on the Interval-Valued Fermatean Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (IVFF-AHP) and Fermatean Fuzzy Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (FF-WASPAS) to address the uncertainty and complexity in this selection process. The model evaluates facade materials against environmental, financial, social, and technical criteria, comprising 13 sub-criteria. IVFF-AHP is utilized to calculate the weights of these criteria, with Environmental Criteria receiving the highest weight (32.9%), followed by Technical (30.7%) and Social (19.6%) criteria. FF-WASPAS is employed to rank four facade material options, with Wood-Plastic Composite (WPC) identified as the most sustainable material, followed by Aggregated Natural Stone, Aluminium Composite Panels, and Concrete Cladding. The results highlight the approach's capability to provide objective and robust rankings, aiding decision-makers in identifying the most sustainable option. The outcomes underscore the model's novelty in integrating Fermatean fuzzy logic with multi-criteria decision-making techniques, offering enhanced flexibility in uncertainty representation and contributing to the advancement of sustainable construction practices through a more informed and structured decision-making process. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
