Article The Potential of AI Chatbots as Diagnostic Tools in Mental Health: Evaluating Exercise Dependence Symptoms(Springer, 2025) Saraç, H.; Yüzakı, E.; Aşçi, F.H.This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of AI chatbots (Claude-3.5 Sonnet, ChatGPT-4o, and Gemini-1.5 Pro) in identifying exercise dependence symptoms using a hypothetical case study. To this end, three sport psychologists, each with a minimum of five years of experience, assessed the chatbots' performance in diagnostic assessment competency, implementation of diagnostic criteria, summary quality, terminology use, and overall effectiveness. The results indicated that while all chatbot models successfully identified major symptoms, their performance varied. Specifically, the Claude-3.5 Sonnet model demonstrated superior performance in specific areas, such as providing a clear case summary and using accurate terminology. However, all chatbots exhibited limitations in recognizing symptom severity and distinguishing between primary and secondary dependence. The sport psychologists expressed a willingness to use at least one AI chatbot model as an assistive tool in initial client assessments. These findings highlight the potential value of AI chatbots in mental health assessments. Future research should prioritize the optimization of algorithms and training data through expert collaboration and controlled real-world testing to improve the reliability and practical application of these tools. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Exploring the Dynamic and Spillover Effects of Renewable Energy, Energy Consumption, and Financial Growth on SDG 13: Evidence from India and China(EconJournals, 2025) Demirkale, Özge; Çağatay, BilgeClimate change represents a critical global challenge, propelled by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, industrial growth, and reliance on fossil fuels. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 underscores the imperative for immediate climate action and sustainable energy policies. This study seeks to analyze the influence of energy consumption, renewable energy transition, and financial development in India and China on climate change mitigation, in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13. The energy policies and financial mechanisms of the two largest emerging economies and carbon emitters are pivotal to global sustainability. The primary research question of this study is, how do India’s and China’s energy sectors and financial development influence climate change mitigation efforts? The findings reveal that despite advancements in renewable energy, both nations continue to struggle with high carbon emissions and environmental degradation. China’s substantial investments in clean energy and financial instruments, including green bonds, have facilitated emission reductions, while India encounters infrastructural and financial limitations despite its ambitious sustainability objectives. The study underscores the necessity of integrating financial development with sustainable energy initiatives to reduce environmental harm. By evaluating the environmental consequences of energy policies, this research contributes to the broader discourse on sustainability and the role of major economies in global climate mitigation efforts. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Critical Spatial Reasoning in Designing: A Visitor’s Centre Relating to Beylikdüzü Archaeological Site, Istanbul(Jomard Publishing, 2025) Agboola, Oluwagbemiga Paul; Uzun, Türkan İrgin; Çakır, Hülya SoydaşArchitectural Design Studio helps students develop the skills to abstract, conceptualise and analyse space. This paper addresses the process of developing critical thinking and design, focusing on the central project, relating to Beylikdüzü Archaeological Excavation Site in Istanbul, Turkiye. This project provides the opportunity for students to explore the context, restrictions of the site and metaphors in design while operating more as an incubator for collaboration than a formal studio course. More specifically, the project aims to improve links between the welcome centre and the archaeological site and hence fills a research gap by exploring the value of producing three-dimensional thinking able to deliver architectural solutions that are new to the context. The purpose of the study is to investigate students' abilities in site analysis, topography and environment for appropriate designs that are functional and sustainable. Methods such as SWOT analysis and topographical studies are incorporated within the framework to propose a unified design solution that is sensitive to both the archaeological site and cultural attachment. The results show integrated and innovative solutions that combined the welcome centre with the archaeological area, helping to enrich the visitor experience. Cultural preservation and taking into consideration the value of archaeological sites to integrate them with minimum damage in new architectural interventions is another aspect seen through this project. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Article 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; Güregen Dereboyu, PelinThis 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 4Beautiful, 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.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Nurse Unemployment in the Country Which Has Nursing Shortage: Investigation of the Reasons in the Aspect of Nurses(Informa UK Ltd, 2024) Soydaş, K.; Harmancı Seren, A.K.Turkey is the country which has serious nursing shortage.

In Turkey the growth rate in college graduates with degrees aligned to the industry is significant. However, despite the representation of women in the industry as athletes and teachers, within sports management women remain significantly underrepresented. This discussion highlights the cultural norms that contribute to gender representation and forecasts the gender equity benefits that would accrue to greater female representation in the sports industry. © 2021. All Rights Reserved.Article Effect of Body Size on Pulmonary Function in Male and Female Dancers(Editura Universitatii din Pitesti, 2020) Tekin, D.Introduction: Pulmonary function influence the performance of dancers during their trainings and also their performance stage. Therefore, it is important to investigate the factors that effects the pulmonary function. The effect of body size on resting pulmonary function in modern dancers is unknown but may be related to sex differences. Accordingly, the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of body size on resting pulmonary function in male and female modern dancers with the same training levels. Materials and Methods: Thirtyeight (n=18 male; n=20 female) undergraduate modern dancers participated voluntarily and their exercise levels (minimum of 5 days/week, 3 hours/day) and training histories (at least 4 years) were similar. All dancers completed pulmonary function test with a computerized spirometer (MIR, Spirobank, Rome, Italy) according to the American Thoracic Society (ATS) guidelines. Results: There was a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the genders in terms of vital capacity-best (VC-best) and maximum voluntary ventilation-best (MVV-best). The values were significantly higher in the male than in female dancers, and body size had a significant effect, with a small effect size (< 0.2) on the VC-best (F(1,25)= 4.902, p = 0.036) and MVV-best (F(1,25) = 7.864, p = 0.010) values. Conclusion: Although the effect size was small, the effects of body weight, height, and body mass index on the VC-best and MVV-best values were influenced by the fact that male dancers have higher resting respiratory function performance. In a practical contribution, the current results suggest that it is necessary to consider the gender factors when planning and organizing dance training with different models. © JPES.
