    Past and Present of Nation-Building: Ideological Instrumentalization of Ministry of Youth and Sports of Turkey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Erturan-Ogut, Esin Esra
    When Erdogan declared in 2012, 'We will raise a pious generation', Turkey already had a national identity rooted in secularism and Turkism since the early Republic. His statement signalled an attempt to reshape identity along the AKP's anti-Kemalist lines. This study examines shifting nation-building agendas in state-run youth and sports institutions, comparing the early Republican era with the AKP period. Early programmes emphasized Turkism, secularism, and paramilitarism, reflecting the ideological imperatives of the time. Under the AKP, however, programmes increasingly promoted Islamism and neo-Ottomanism, opposing earlier values. The study argues that AKP-era youth policies deliberately sought to replace Kemalist principles, with the Ministry of Youth and Sports serving as a channel for ideological nation-building absent in formal education.

    The Influence of Leisure Screen Time on Sleep Patterns and Feeding Behaviors in Primary School Children
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Aydoner Bektas, Selen; Bumin, Gonca
    The increasing use of screen-based devices in children's daily lives has raised concerns about their effects on health behaviors such as sleep and feeding. This study investigated the relationship between leisure screen time and sleep and feeding problems in primary school children. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 322 children aged 7-10 years and their parents. Parents completed questionnaires measuring children's daily leisure screen time, sleep patterns, and feeding behaviors. Results showed that weekend leisure screen time (M = 149.4 minutes/day) was higher than weekdays. Significant positive correlations were found between leisure screen time and both total feeding problem scores (weekdays: r = 0.22; weekends: r = 0.25, p < .01) and sleep disturbances (weekdays: r = 0.29; weekends: r = 0.32, p < .01). The most affected areas were selective eating and sleep initiation/maintenance. Regression analysis revealed that weekend leisure screen time significantly predicted feeding problems (beta = 0.22, p = .001) and sleep disturbances (beta = 0.27, p < .001), explaining 8% and 12% of the variance, respectively. The findings indicate the importance of managing children's screen time - particularly on weekends - to support healthier sleep and eating patterns and guide family-based interventions.

    Positioning School Readiness as Ecological Fit: The School Readiness Ecological Approach (SERA) for Occupational Therapy and Education
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Aydoner Bektas, Selen
    Traditional perspectives on school readiness have emphasized child-level competencies such as cognitive, language, and behavioral skills. While important, the narrow focus overlooks the ecological systems - families, teachers, and communities - that shape children's adaptation to school. The participation-oriented perspective of occupational therapy has also been largely absent from the discourse. The School Readiness Ecological Approach (SERA) reframes school readiness as a matter of ecological fit rather than merely a set of children's skills. Based on Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and the Person - Environment - Occupation model, SERA conceptualizes readiness as the outcome of dynamic exchanges between children, families, educators, schools, and policy environments. SERA addresses key gaps by: (1) shifting focus from isolated child attributes to participation in real-life contexts; (2) integrating occupational therapy's holistic perspective into readiness; and (3) providing a multi-level framework to guide research, practice, and policy. SERA emphasizes four domains - child, family, educational environment, and community - as interconnected contributors to school readiness trajectories. As a conceptual bridge across education, health, and social systems, SERA will broaden theoretical scope, foster interdisciplinary collaboration, and promote inclusive, and sustainable strategies. Reconceptualizing school readiness as ecological fit will help move beyond deficit-based views and support more equitable and effective school transitions.

    Post-Truth Populism as an Emerging Electoral Strategy: The Case of Turkey's 2023 Elections
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Eldem, Tuba
    This article develops a new theoretical framework to explain how right-wing populist incumbents mobilise electoral support in competitive authoritarian regimes. It argues that post-truth populism, defined as the strategic fusion of securitised discourse and emotionally charged identity appeals with epistemic manipulation, enables populist leaders to shape the political battlefield through affective and symbolic narratives rather than policy content. Drawing on discourse analysis of President Recep Tayyip Erdo & gbreve;an's 2023 campaign in Turkey, the article shows how the ruling coalition reframed the elections as an existential struggle against internal and external enemies while simultaneously offering emotionally resonant promises of national revival. Rather than focus solely on institutional advantages or voter grievances, this study foregrounds the discursive agency of populist leaders and their ability to manufacture fear, pride and loyalty. By analysing how Erdo & gbreve;an's campaign displaced economic accountability with emotionally saturated, post-factual narratives, the article contributes to literatures on populism, post-truth politics and securitisation. It argues that the convergence of post-truth politics and populist securitisation forms a powerful mechanism for authoritarian endurance in hybrid regimes, transforming elections into moralised referenda on identity and national survival.

    Logistics Performance and Agricultural Exports: Evidence From Sub-Saharan Africa
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Vardar, N. Baris; Cifter, Atilla; Delipinar, Gul Esin; Tekelioglu, Mehmet Gurel
    This paper investigates the relationship between logistics performance and agricultural exports in Sub-Saharan Africa. Using dynamic panel data from 2012 to 2022, we examine the impact of various components of logistics performance on aggregate agricultural exports. We also analyse how logistics performance affects exports in agricultural subsectors. Our results show that improvements in logistics infrastructure, customs procedures, and international shipping services significantly increase agricultural export performance. The food and live animals subsector benefits the most, followed by crude materials and animal and vegetable oils and fats subsectors. We also find that financial development, foreign direct investment, and world demand are important drivers of agricultural exports in Sub-Saharan Africa. We include institutional quality indicators in our analysis for robustness checks, showing that governance factors also play a significant role in boosting exports. These findings highlight the need for targeted investment in logistics and complementary economic policies, supported by good governance, to harness the region's agricultural export potential and promote sustainable economic development.

    Implementation of an AI-Enhanced Motor and Cognitive Intervention: A Case Study in Developmental Delay
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Bektas, Selen Aydoner; Bumin, Gonca; Aydoner Bektas, Selen
    This study aimed to explore the implementation of an AI-enhanced motor and cognitive intervention for a 7-year-old child with developmental delay. A case study design was employed using an A-B framework (pre-test, intervention, post-test) over 12 weeks. The intervention incorporated AI-based tools such as Lumosity, Just Dance, and Cogmed for tailored motor and cognitive activities. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 Brief Form (BOT-2 BF) and the Dynamic Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment for Children (DOTCA-Ch) were used to evaluate outcomes. Post-intervention, significant improvements were observed in BOT-2 BF and DOTCA-Ch scores, indicating enhanced motor coordination, and cognitive abilities. AI-enhanced interventions demonstrated the potential to address developmental delays by providing adaptive, engaging, and effective therapeutic activities. The findings highlight the feasibility of integrating AI tools into therapy, with implications for broader adoption in addressing developmental challenges. Further research is recommended to explore generalizability and long-term effects.

    The Making of Football Diplomacy: A Case Study of a Sports Official from Türkiye
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Erturan-Ogut, Esin Esra; Pamiroglu, Cem
    This study employs an exploratory single case design to investigate whether an international sport official can perform the functions of sport diplomacy: communication, negotiation, and representation. It explores the mechanisms and outcomes of such engagement. Focusing on & Scedil;enes Erzik, a long-serving executive in UEFA and FIFA, the study examines how such actors operate within institutional sport structures while intersecting with broader diplomatic processes. The findings suggest that sport diplomacy can advance national visibility and soft power objectives, particularly through international representation and branding. Erzik's involvement in peace initiatives, informal mediation in politically sensitive matches, and participation in joint tournament bids demonstrates how sport officials may serve as facilitators of diplomatic communication. The case further illustrates that sport diplomacy, when driven by individual initiative, can align with national foreign policy goals. While limited in generalizability, the study contributes to understanding sport diplomacy's practical functions and its informal and personalized diplomatic mechanisms.

    Sensory Processing Skills and School Functions in School-Aged Children With Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: a Gender-Based Analysis
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ceyhan, Irem; Akyurek, Gokcen
    Sensory processing skills are important for school functioning, learning and school participation. Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may need additional support in the school context. This study aims to assess sensory processing skills and school functions in children with ADHD, focusing on gender differences. We included 118 children of whom 57 had ADHD and 61 were typically developing peers. Sensory processing skills were assessed with the Sensory Integration and Praxis Test subtests (Postrotary Nystagmus, Standing Walk and Balance, Bilateral Motor Coordination), and school functioning was evaluated using the School Function Assessment. Results showed that children with ADHD had worse sensory processing skills and school function, regardless of gender (p < 0.05). In girls with ADHD, Bilateral Motor Coordination emerged as a significant predictor across some sub-parameters of school functioning (Participation: p = 0.022; task supports: p = 0.020; physical tasks: p = 0.012). In boys, balance was particularly significant predictor of physical (p = 0.008) and cognitive functioning (p = 0.008). Boys with ADHD had more difficulty than girls in cognitive/behavioral task adaptations, setup and cleaning, and eating/drinking. Recognizing gender differences among these children is essential for health professionals to deliver more effective and individualized support interventions.

    Empowering a Mother of Children With Autism: a Case Report on the Impact of Tele-Occupational Performance Coaching on Parent-Child Relationships, Maternal Self-Efficacy, and Occupational Performance
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Bektas, Selen Aydoner; Bumin, Gonca; Aydoner Bektas, Selen
    This case report aimed at tele-occupational performance coaching to empower the mother of a child with autism spectrum disorder by enhancing occupational performance, parent-child relationships, and maternal self-efficacy. Over 8 weeks, the intervention addressed goals collaboratively identified by the mother, including self-care, productivity, and leisure-related tasks. Results revealed clinically significant improvements, with a two-point increase in Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores for both performance and satisfaction. Significant score increases were also obtained on the Parent-Child Relationship Scale and the Early Intervention Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale. The findings underscore the effectiveness of tele-occupational performance coaching in enhancing family dynamics and parental capabilities while emphasizing the potential of telehealth as a scalable and accessible modality for delivering family-centered occupational therapy. Future research should expand on these findings by incorporating diverse populations and assessing long-term outcomes.
