2023-2024 Excavations at Boğaziye Höyüğü: a Recently Discovered Mound Settlement in the Upper Khabur Region
(Istanbul Univ, 2025) Gene, Bulent; Sahin, Muaviye; Isik, Senem; Abakay, Ayda; Kaya, Semsihan; Konyar, Erkan; Tan, Armagan
Boğaziye Höyük lies at the northwestern end of the vast and fertile Upper Khabur Region, which stretches along the southern foothills of the Kašiari Mountains. Material culture remains unearthed at the mound by two seasons of excavations (2023-2024) shows significant similarities to assemblages known from other Upper Khabur sites. Our excavations in Trenches BE18-BE17 and BF18 on the northern slope of the mound focused on revealing the stratigraphic sequence in this area. Architectural remains of Building Levels I and II and finds from these contexts in Trench BE18 are dateable to the mid-3rd millennium BC. In Trench BE17, Building Level I also revealed finds that can be dated to the 3rd (especially mid-3rd) millennium BC, and in Trench BF18, ceramic sherds dateable to the 3rd millennium BC were found in Building Level III. This article presents new findings from Boğaziye Höyük and discusses their significance in comparison with the results of surveys and excavations in the Upper Khabur Region, which have continued increasingly since the mid-1930s. We evaluate the significance of Boğaziye Höyük as a regional center within the Upper Khabur basin, and we elucidate its habitation sequence and building levels in the light of our recent excavations. Based on a comparative evaluation of its material culture remains within a regional perspective, we contextualize Boğaziye Höyük in relationship to the cultural horizons of the early and mid-3rd millennium BC in the Upper Khabur Valley.
A Comparison of Native and Syrian Immigrant Women Students' Genital Hygiene Behaviors: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Univ Sao Paolo, 2025) Icke, Sibel; Cifci, Sema
Objective: This study aims to compare the genital hygiene behaviors of native and Syrian immigrant women students. Method: This was cross-sectional research. The sample size of the study was determined via power analysis and G*Power software. A total sample size of 330 individuals was equally distributed to both groups. Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire" and the 'Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale' were used as data collection tools. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean scores of the scales of both student groups (p < 0.05). The mean scores of native students were found to be higher. The variables "how to clean the genital area", "material used for genital hygiene", "washing method of underwear", "pretoilet hand washing habits" and "regular menstruation" were found to be most effective in terms of the mean scores of the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale and its subscales for immigrant students. Conclusion: Social security status and nationality were the most influential sociodemographic factors affecting genital hygiene behaviors. It would be beneficial to raise awareness and promote behavioral changes regarding genital hygiene through seminars, conferences, workshops, and similar events targeting all women university students.

Ability of Cha2ds2-vasc/R2cha2ds2-vasc Scores To Predict Complications Related To Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices
(Wiley, 2025) Aktan, Adem; Kilic, Raif; Guzel, Hamdullah; Tastan, Ercan; Oksul, Metin; Guzel, Tuncay; Soner, Serdar
BackgroundGlobally, the number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing. In our study, we aimed to investigate whether CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc and R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores are predictive of CIED-related complications. MethodsOur investigation was carried out with a multicenter retrospective design. Patients who underwent CIED surgery at two cardiac centers in Turkey between January 2011 and May 2023, 1676, were evaluated. The patients were divided into two groups according to their R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc scores. Patients with R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc >= 5 were included in group 1 (380 patients), and patients with R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc < 5 (1296 patients) were included in group 2. The primary outcome was defined as the cumulative events. Each component of cumulative events, such as hematoma, pericardial effusion, pneumothorax, and infection, was also defined as a secondary outcome. ResultsThe study's patient population had an average age of 62.9 +/- 14 years. Pneumothorax (1.8% vs. 1.3%, p = 0.444), pericardial effusion or tamponade (0.35% vs. 0.2%, p = 0.659), and clinically significant hematoma (1.1% vs. 0.6%, p = 0.376) were comparable between the groups. Infection-related devices and cumulative events classified as primary outcomes were higher in the R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc >= 5 group (6.1% vs. 1.2%, p < 0.001; 7.6% vs. 3.2%, p < 0.001, respectively). Modeling analyses showed that the CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score and HT were also independent predictors of device-related infection and cumulative events. ConclusionIn the R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc >= 5 groups, infection related to the device system and cumulative events were higher. Patients with an R(2)CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score of 5 or more and a high CHA(2)DS(2)-VASc score should be evaluated more carefully regarding infection and cumulative events before and after the operation.

Abnormal Uterine Bleeding in Adolescent Girls Retrospective Study
(Brieflands, 2025) Ozalkak, Servan; Yildirim, Ruken; Karakaya, Amine Aktar; Tas, Funda Feryal; Oncel, Kahraman; Okur, Nurettin; Ozbek, Mehmet Nuri
Background: Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) is the most common reason for gynecology-related hospital admissions in adolescence. Objectives: The present single-center study aimed to evaluate the diagnosis distribution in adolescents with AUB and to compare the clinical features and treatments of patients with hemoglobin levels below and above 10 g/dL. Methods: The present single-center study retrospectively collected demographic and epidemiological data from adolescents aged 10 - 18 years presenting to our institution with a diagnosis of AUB. Patient data were extracted from electronic medical records and analyzed using SPSS software. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation (SD), median, and interquartile range (IQR), were calculated. Patients were classified according to hemoglobin levels (< 10 g/dL as group 1 and >= 10 g/dL as group 2). Results: Among 167 adolescent patients, 35.9% had hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dL. Hospitalization rates were significantly higher in group 1 (86.4%) compared to group 2 (2.8%) (P < 0.001). The most common causes of AUB were anovulation (84.4%) and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) (11.4%). The primary treatments included combined oral contraceptives (COCs) with iron supplementation (45.5%) and iron alone (28.7%). Erythrocyte transfusion (ERT) was performed in 18% of cases, predominantly in group 1. This study is limited by the lack of a standardized quality of life assessment tool for AUB. The single-center design and retrospective data collection may limit the generalizability of the findings and introduce selection bias, respectively. Conclusions: Anovulation and PCOS are the main causes of AUB in adolescents. Patients with hemoglobin levels below 10 g/dL and active bleeding should be evaluated carefully, as ERT may be necessary. A wide differential diagnosis should always be considered when managing adolescent AUB.
Abu Ubayd’s Understanding Of Naskh;
(Hitit Univ, 2022) Yasar, Mehmet Aziz; Nas, Taha
In the period when Islamic sciences were formed, a large number ofscholars with absolute ijtihad capacity were trained. One of the scholars mentioned is Abu `Ubayd al- Qasim ibn Sallam al-Khurasani al-Harawi who was educated by many famous scholars of the period, had a great influence on both the scientific and political circles. For this reason, he could not be shared by different sect biographers. As a matter of fact, some Shafi'i tabaqat writers counted Ebu Ubeyd as a follower of Imam Shafii. On the other hand, some Hanbali scholars have mentioned Ebu Ubeyd among the class of Hanbali scholars. However, it was concluded that it would be more correct to see Ebu Ubeyd as an independent mujtahid rather than a follower of any madhhab. For, in his own works, the fact that he refers more to Imam Malik rather than Imam Shafii and Ahmad ibn Hanbal and sometimes refers to the views of Abu Hanifa and Imamey indicates this. Ebu Ubeyd, who came to the forefront with his faqih and muhaddis aspects, had a deep knowledge of the subject of naskh, which has a close relationship with these two sciences, and in this regard, he wrote a rare work called en-Nasih ve'l-mensu. fi'l-kur.ani'l-aziz ve ma fihi mine'l-fera'iz ve's-sunen. While revealing Ebu Ubeyd's understanding of naskh, his work en-Nasi. ve'l-mensu. was used as the main source. In addition to this, his other works related to the subject, especially his work called Kitabu'l- emval, were among the first hand sources that were consulted. It has been tried to determine his approach to naskh based on the statements he made on the subject and the examples he gave in this regard. In this context, Ebu Ubeyd's approach to the nature and framework of naskh and his views on the evidences that can abrogate each other are examined in this study. Ebu Ubeyd discussed the abrogation in a broader sense as "the modification of a shar'i ruling by a later evidence", not the established meaning in the methodology as "removal of a shar'i ruling with a later shar'i proof". In this context, naskh is also used for the allocation of public, the denial of the absolute, the statement of conciseness, the correction of a wrong understanding and the exception made from a general rule. This is known as the understanding of naskh among the companions, tabi`in and early convert scholars. However, although Ebu Ubeyd is at the same age as Imam Shafii and has copied and benefited from his works, it is noteworthy that he preferred the predecessor's approach to the subject rather than the naskh understanding he adopted. It is important to investigate this. He adopted the approach of the public regarding the Shari'a evidences of Ebu Ubeyd that could naskh each other. According to him, the verses of the Qur'an can naskh each other. He gave many examples of this. Another point that draws attention here is to ascribe the concept of naskh used for the verse of the Qur'an by Ebu Ubeyd, from the Lawh-i Mahfuz, in the form of a verse whose recitation is lasting and its meaning is naskhed, and a verse that is removed from people's hearts by canceling both its recitation and used in different meanings. Ebu Ubeyd stated that sunnah can be naskhed with sunnah, without making any distinction between ahad and mutawatir about sunnah and its naskh. However, despite giving many examples of the naskh of the ahad sunnah with its own like, no example has been encountered of the naskh of the ahad sunnah with its own like or with ahad and the ahad sunnah with the mutawatir sunnah. As it can be understood from my statements on the subject, Ebu Ubeyd saw that it is permissible to naskh both mutawatir and ahad sunnah with the Qur'an. However, while there is an example for the naskh of the ahad sunnah with the Qur'an in his related works, there is no example for the other. Although there is no clear statement on the issue that the Qur'an can be naskhed with the sunnah, it is understood from some examples that he gives permission for this.
Acceptance of Diversity, Social Media Use, and Labeling of Refugees in Türkiye: A Mediation Analysis From a Social Work Perspective
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Aslan, Yavuz; Kocak, Orhan; Kus, Yagmur; Hizmetci, Nimet Sagir; Sağır Hizmetçi, Nimet
This study examines the relationships between acceptance of diversity, social media use, and the labeling of refugees in T & uuml;rkiye, focusing on the mediating role of social media use. Grounded in Goffman's Labeling Theory and approached from a social work perspective, the study utilized a cross-sectional, correlational design. Data were collected from 431 participants via an online survey. Confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling were employed to analyze the data. The findings revealed that acceptance of diversity was negatively associated with social media use and the labeling of refugees, while social media use was positively associated with refugee labeling. Moreover, social media use mediated the relationship between acceptance of diversity and labeling. These results underscore the dual role of social media as both a space for intercultural communication and a platform for spreading exclusionary narratives. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the importance of promoting inclusive digital environments. It provides practical implications for developing anti-discriminatory interventions within social work practice and media literacy programs.
Accreditation in Higher Education Tourism Programs: An Administrative Perspective
(Routledge, 2025) Ibadli, U.; Pektas, K.; Demir, E.; Çakici, A.C.
The study evaluates the perceived benefits, importance, and challenges of program accreditation from the perspectives of administrators of TURAK-accredited tourism programs. The participants included department heads, faculty deans, and college directors, with data collected via electronic interviews between February 17 and 31 March 2024. Responses were analyzed using content analysis, revealing four themes: “motivation,” “benefit,” “challenges,” and “expectations.” Key findings show that accreditation enhances educational quality and serves as a promotional tool. It benefits data archiving and quality perception but poses challenges in manual file preparation and evidence generation. Administrators expect improvements in electronic documentation, reporting, objective evaluations, prioritization of graduates, and process continuity. The study offers theoretical and practical implications for both program administrators and TURAK officials. © 2025 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Accuracy Evaluation of ChatGPT 4.0 in Text Annotation of Turkish Islamic Literature
(Dinbilimleri Akad Araştirma Merkezi, 2024) Cancelik, Ali; Sen, Ihsan; Yakut, Emrullah
This study investigates the application of artificial intelligence, specifically Chat-GPT-4.0, in the field of Turkish Islamic literature with a focus on text annotation and accuracy evaluation. With advancements in machine learning and deep learning algorithms, AI has been utilized across various fields, from education to healthcare, enhancing the depth and speed of analyses traditionally done manually. In this study, ChatGPT-4.0 was employed to interpret a Turkish qasida-a form of classical panegyric poetry dedicated to Sultan Selim I. The research evaluated twenty couplets from the qasida, split into two groups: the first ten were analyzed with directed prompts that focused on the relationship between music and emotion, while the remaining ten were interpreted without guidance, allowing the AIto provide autonomous commentary. The first section of the study focused on a structured approach where specific prompts were used to guide ChatGPT-4.0 in exploring themes of musical symbolism and emotional depth. This guided analysis included topics like "Music and Emotional Expression," "Symbolism of Mehter Music," and "The Emotional Role of the Ney (reed flute) in Ottoman Poetic Traditions." By drawing connections between these themes and the couplets, the AI was encouraged to explore the symbolic associations between certain musical instruments and emotional states. The ney, for example, was interpreted as an instrument conveying melancholy, aligning with its cultural significance in Sufi music. This directed approach led to highly consistent results, with the responses scoring well in terms of factual accuracy, thematic relevance, and clarity. In the second part of the analysis, ChatGPT-4.0 was tasked with interpreting the couplets without directed prompts, allowing for a broader analysis not constrained to any specific themes. Here, the AI adopted a more conceptual approach, exploring general cultural, aesthetic, and emotional aspects rather than focusing solely on musical connections. This autonomy led to varied interpretations that were not always aligned with the intended themes but introduced additional insights. Interestingly, these responses scored higher in clarity and specificity but showed slightly lower scores in factual accuracy and evidence-based support compared to the directed analysis. The results suggest that while AI can independently provide insightful interpretations, directed prompts are beneficial for maintaining thematic focus and analytical consistency in specialized fields like Turkish Islamic literature. Comparing the results from both sections, the study identified distinct strengths and limitations in AI-driven text annotation. The guided analysis underscored the value of prompt engineering for obtaining focused, factually consistent insights, particularly in examining the complex cultural and emotional dimensions of Turkish Islamic literature. For instance, by structuring questions around musical themes, the AI could more effectively generate contextually accurate interpretations. Conversely, the unguided responses illustrated ChatGPT-4.0's potential for producing broader cultural reflections, allowing the model to interpret the couplets through a more diverse lens, though sometimes at the expense of thematic precision. An important aspect of this study was the accuracy evaluation of the AI's responses. For this purpose, a six-criterion framework-Accuracy of Information Index (AOI)-was developed, rating responses on a scale from 0 to 5 based on the following factors: factual accuracy, evidence-based support, clarity, thematic relevance, specificity, and consistency. The results revealed that the guided approach consistently achieved higher scores in factual accuracy, evidence support, and thematic relevance, demonstrating the importance of structured guidance in AI-assisted literary analysis. On the other hand, the unguided section achieved higher clarity and specificity scores, indicating that, while the AI provided more autonomous insights, some interpretations deviated from the intended themes. The study's methodology also included a detailed comparative analysis of sources cited in each section. In the guided analysis, references to Ottoman music and poetry sources, such as works by Turkish musicologists and historians, were integrated into the AI responses to enhance reliability. Citations were provided in APA style, further validating the AI's interpretations. In contrast, the unguided analysis drew more general connections, citing broader literary and historical sources, which, while insightful, occasionally lacked the thematic depth of the guided responses. The research provides a comprehensive overview of how AI, when combined with structured prompts, can effectively contribute to the study of complex literary texts, offering both thematic insights and cultural analysis. This study suggests that artificial intelligence can act as a valuable assistant in Turkish Islamic literature by supporting traditional methods with a systematic, technology-driven approach. However, the findings also caution against over-reliance on AI, as accuracy and thematic relevance can be compromised without proper guidance. For future research, integrating more diverse prompts or refining prompt strategies could enhance the precision and depth of AI-generated insights, enabling scholars to explore Turkish Islamic literature from new perspectives. Ultimately, this study contributes to ongoing discussions on AI's role in the humanities, specifically in analyzing culturally rich texts within Turkish Islamic literature. The research underscores the potential of AI to support and enrich traditional interpretative methods, suggesting that, with the proper guidance, AI tools can aid scholars in making literary works more accessible and interpretable. While AI may not replace human scholarship, it can significantly complement it, allowing researchers to uncover nuanced layers of meaning within classical literature.
Acoustic-Based Fault Diagnosis of Electric Motors Using Mel Spectrograms and Convolutional Neural Networks
(Nature Portfolio, 2025) Uzel, Hasan; Ozupak, Yildirim; Alpsalaz, Feyyaz; Aslan, Emrah; Zaitsev, Ievgen
This study presents a comprehensive deep learning framework for diagnosing acoustic faults in electric motors. The framework uses Mel spectrograms and a lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN). The method classifies three motor states, engine_good, engine_broken, and engine_heavyload, based on audio recordings from the IDMT-ISA-ELECTRIC-ENGINE dataset. To prevent data leakage and ensure a robust evaluation, the study employed file-level splitting, session separation, 5-fold cross-validation, and repeated trials. The raw audio signals were transformed into Mel spectrograms and processed through a CNN architecture that integrates convolutional, pooling, normalization, and dropout layers. Quantitative metrics, including THD, spectral entropy, and SNR, further characterize the acoustic distinctions between motor states. The proposed model achieved a test accuracy of 99.7%, outperforming or matching state-of-the-art approaches, such as ResNet-18, CRNN, and Transformer classifiers, as well as traditional MFCC-based baselines. Noise robustness and sensitivity analyses demonstrated stable performance under varying SNR conditions and preprocessing settings. Feature-importance maps revealed that low-frequency regions (0-40 Mel bins) were key discriminative components linked to physical fault mechanisms. Computational evaluation confirmed the model's real-time feasibility on embedded hardware with low latency and a modest parameter count. Though primarily validated on one motor type, external-domain testing revealed strong adaptability. Future work may incorporate transfer learning or multimodal fusion. Overall, the proposed framework provides a highly accurate, interpretable, and efficient solution for real-time motor fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance in industrial environments.

(Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Dogan, Yusuf; Ozic, Cem; Ertas, Erdal; Baran, Ayse; Rosic, Gvozden; Selakovic, Dragica; Eftekhari, Aziz
Cancer is a major disease that affects millions of people around the world every year. It affects individuals of all ages, races, and backgrounds. Since drugs used to treat cancer cannot distinguish between cancerous and healthy cells, they cause systemic toxicity along with serious side effects. Recently, controlled drug-release systems have been developed to reduce the side effects caused by anticancer drugs used for treatment. Morin is an anticancer drug with a flavonol structure. It has been extensively researched for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumoral, and antibacterial properties, especially found in Chinese herbs and fruits, and its multiple positive effects on different diseases. In this study, a nanocomposite with magnetic properties was synthesized by coating biocompatible activated carbon obtained using the fruits of the Celtis tournefortii plant on the surface of iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles. Characterization of the synthesized activated carbon-coated iron oxide magnetic nanocomposite was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, and vibrating sample magnetometry. The cytotoxic effects of the drug-loaded magnetic nanocomposite were examined in HT-29 (colorectal), T98-G (glioblastoma) cancer cell lines, and human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) healthy cell line. The morin loading and release behavior of the activated carbon-coated iron oxide magnetic nanocomposite were studied, and the results showed that up to 60% of the adsorbed morin was released within 4 h. In summary, activated carbon-coated iron oxide magnetic nanocomposite carriers have shown promising results for the delivery of the morin drug.

Acute Cyanide Intoxication Due To Apricot Seed Ingestion
(Soc Argentina Pediatria, 2024) Talay, Mehmet N.; Gungor, Emre; Orhan, Ozhan
Introduction : Cyanide poisoning, whether it be accidental or intentional, remains a significant danger to adults and children, especially in societies where agriculture is a primary source of income. We examined the clinical follow-up, complications, and results of cyanide poisoning cases that occurred after eating the pits and seeds of plants containing cyanide glycosides, such as apricot kernels and almonds. Methods : Between 01/01/2017 and 01/08/2022, 14 children aged 1-18 years who were followed up with a prediagnosis of cyanide poisoning in our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) were retrospectively analysed. Results : Eight of the patients followed with a preliminary diagnosis of cyanide poisoning were female and six were male. The most common admission month was July (42.8%) coinciding with the agricultural season. The most common symptoms at presentation were weakness and fatigue (n = 7). In the PICU, 4 patients presented lip cyanosis; 3, altered level of consciousness. Vomiting, seizure, headache, dizziness and palpitatons were less frequent. Four patients were treated with hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit (R) ) as an antidote due to acidosis in their blood gases. All patients treated for cyanide poisoning were discharged. Conclusions : Cyanide poisoning should be considered in paediatric patients with suspicious findings, sudden loss of consciousness, increased anion gap acidosis and lactic acidosis. The history of eating the seeds of plants such as apricot and almonds should be investigated .

(Springer Int Publ Ag, 2017) Cengiz, E. I.; Bayar, A. S.; Kizmaz, V.; Bashan, M.; Satar, A.
Deltamethrin is a pyrethroid pesticide contaminating aquatic ecosystems. The purpose of this study was to clarify the acute toxicity of deltamethrin on the fatty acids of phospholipid (PL) classes in liver and gill of Nile tilapia. The fatty acids of PL classes were analyzed by gas chromatography. Deltamethrin brought about differences in the fatty acids of the PL classes in the liver and gill. In the liver of exposed fish, 16:0, 18:2(n-6), 22:6(n-3) in phosphatidylcholine (PC); 16:0, 18:1(n-9), 18:2(n-6), 20:4(n-6), 22:6(n-3) in phosphatidylethanolamine (PE); 16:0, 18:0, 18:1(n-9), 20:4(n-6), 22:6(n-3) in phosphatidylinositol (PI) and in phosphatidylserine (PS) 16:0, 18:1(n-9), 20:4(n-6), 22:6(n-3) were the affected fatty acids. There were significant alterations in Sigma MUFAs (monounsaturated fatty acids), a(n-3)PUFAs (polyunsaturated fatty acids) and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PC; Sigma SFAs (saturated fatty acids), Sigma MUFAs, Sigma PUFAs, Sigma(n-3)PUFAs and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PE; Sigma SFAs, Sigma MUFAs, Sigma(n-3)PUFAs and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PI and Sigma SFAs, Sigma MUFAs,Sigma PUFAs and Sigma(n-3)PUFAs in PS. In the gill, 18:2(n-6), 20:4(n-6), 22:6(n-3) in PC; 16:0, 18:1(n-9), 20:4(n-6), 22:6(n-3) in PE; 16:0, 18:0, 18:1(n-9), 18:2(n-6) in PI and in PS 16:0, 18:0,18:1(n-9), 20:3(n-6), 20:5(n-3), 22:6(n-3) affected. The alterations in Sigma SFAs, Sigma MUFAs, Sigma PUFAs and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PC; Sigma SFAs, Sigma MUFAs, Sigma PUFAs, Sigma(n-3)PUFAs and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PE; Sigma(n-3)PUFAs and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PI; Sigma SFAs, Sigma MUFAs, Sigma PUFAs, Sigma(n-3) PUFAs and Sigma(n-6)PUFAs in PS were significant in gill. The changes in the fatty acids of the PL classes in response to deltamethrin can influence structure and functions of the membrane systems. Changes in fatty acids may be one defense mechanism against the deltamethrin.

Adaptation of the Vicarious Resilience Scale To Turkish: a Validity and Reliability Study
(Educational Publishing Foundation - American Psychological Assoc, 2025) Topcu, Feyza; Boz, Canahmet; Seneldir Patolo, Ayse; Kitapcioglu, Sureyyanur; Isiker-Bedir, Deniz; Sanyar, Sema; Seneldir-Patolo, Ayse
Objective: The 27-item Vicarious Resilience Scale (VRS) is the first tool developed to measure vicarious resilience in mental health professionals working with trauma survivors. Given that the VRS measures the positive impact on therapists resulting from observing the healing process of trauma victims, it is especially significant to evaluate its validity and reliability in Turkish culture. This study aims to adapt the VRS to Turkish and examine its psychometric properties. Method: VRS was adapted and administered via electronic survey to 337 mental health professionals from around the globe working with survivors of severe traumas, such as earthquake survivors. The validity of the VRS was examined using different techniques: confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and criterion-related validity. Result: CFA yielded seven factors that were consistent with the original form: changes in life goals and perspective, client-inspired hope, increased recognition of clients' spirituality as a therapeutic resource, increased capacity for resourcefulness, increased self-awareness and self-care practices, increased consciousness of power and privilege relative to clients' social location, and increased capacity for remaining present while listening to trauma narratives. The Cronbach's alpha reliability of the VRS was found to be .95; it displayed positive correlations with posttraumatic growth, psychological resilience, and quality of life, indicating convergent validity. However, it had a negative correlation with depression, anxiety, and stress, indicating discriminant validity. Conclusion: The VRS is a valid and reliable measurement scale by professionals working with trauma survivors to aid the recognition and cultivation of vicarious resilience in Turkish mental health professionals.

Amaç: Bu çalışma “Adölesan Annelerde Emzirme Destek İhtiyaçları Ölçeği” nin Türkçe’ ye uyarlanması, geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntemler: Kesitsel ve metodolojik tasarımda yürütülen çalışmaya 15-20 yaş aralığında 140 adölesan anne dahil edilmiştir. Türkiye'nin Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgesindeki bir ikinci basamak sağlık kuruluşunda uygulanan çalışmada örneklem seçimi, gönüllülük esasına dayalı olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, Tanımlayıcı Bilgi Formu ve Adölesan Annelerde Emzirme Destek İhtiyaçları Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Ölçeğin dil geçerliliği uzman görüşleri ile sağlanmış ve kapsam geçerliliği değerlendirilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde faktör analizi, Cronbach alfa ve madde analizleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Analizler sonucunda ölçek 17 madde ve üç alt boyuttan oluşmuştur. Alt boyutlar (1) Değerlendirme ve Bilgilendirme, (2) Emzirme Davranışına Destek ve (3) Bireysel Emzirme Desteği olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizine göre, model uyum indeksleri x²⁄SD=2,579, GFI=0,805, CFI=0,865, NFI=0,800, RMSEA=0,076 olarak hesaplanmış ve modelin iyi uyum gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Maddelerin faktör yükleri 0,486-0,855 arasındadır. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alfa katsayısı 0,911 olarak bulunmuş olup, korelasyon katsayıları 0,326 ile 0,762 arasında değişmektedir. Sonuç: Analizler, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu ölçek, adölesan annelerin emzirme sürecindeki destek ihtiyaçlarını belirlemek ve sağlık çalışanlarının bu ihtiyaçları ne ölçüde karşıladığını değerlendirmek için uygun bir araç olabilir.

Adolescent Transport and Unintentional Injuries: a Systematic Analysis Using the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2022) Peden, Amy E.; Cullen, Patricia; Francis, Kate Louise; Moeller, Holger; Peden, Margaret M.; Ye, Pengpeng; Ivers, Rebecca Q.
Background Globally, transport and unintentional injuries persist as leading preventable causes of mortality and morbidity for adolescents. We sought to report comprehensive trends in injury-related mortality and morbidity for adolescents aged 10-24 years during the past three decades. Methods Using the Global Burden of Disease, Injuries, and Risk Factors 2019 Study, we analysed mortality and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) attributed to transport and unintentional injuries for adolescents in 204 countries. Burden is reported in absolute numbers and age-standardised rates per 100 000 population by sex, age group (10-14, 15-19, and 20-24 years), and sociodemographic index (SDI) with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs). We report percentage changes in deaths and DALYs between 1990 and 2019. Findings In 2019, 369 061 deaths (of which 214337 [58%] were transport related) and 31.1 million DALYs (of which 16.2 million [52%] were transport related) among adolescents aged 10-24 years were caused by transport and unintentional injuries combined. If compared with other causes, transport and unintentional injuries combined accounted for 25% of deaths and 14% of DALYs in 2019, and showed little improvement from 1990 when such injuries accounted for 26% of adolescent deaths and 17% of adolescent DALYs. Throughout adolescence, transport and unintentional injury fatality rates increased by age group. The unintentional injury burden was higher among males than females for all injury types, except for injuries related to fire, heat, and hot substances, or to adverse effects of medical treatment. From 1990 to 2019, global mortality rates declined by 34.4% (from 17.5 to 11.5 per 100 000) for transport injuries, and by 47.7% (from 15.9 to 8.3 per 100000) for unintentional injuries. However, in low-SDI nations the absolute number of deaths increased (by 80.5% to 42 774 for transport injuries and by 39.4% to 31 961 for unintentional injuries). In the high-SDI quintile in 2010-19, the rate per 100 000 of transport injury DALYs was reduced by 16.7%, from 838 in 2010 to 699 in 2019. This was a substantially slower pace of reduction compared with the 48.5% reduction between 1990 and 2010, from 1626 per 100 000 in 1990 to 838 per 100 000 in 2010. Between 2010 and 2019, the rate of unintentional injury DALYs per 100 000 also remained largely unchanged in high-SDI countries (555 in 2010 vs 554 in 2019; 0.2% reduction). The number and rate of adolescent deaths and DALYs owing to environmental heat and cold exposure increased for the high-SDI quintile during 2010-19. Interpretation As other causes of mortality are addressed, inadequate progress in reducing transport and unintentional injury mortality as a proportion of adolescent deaths becomes apparent. The relative shift in the burden of injury from high-SDI countries to low and low-middle-SDI countries necessitates focused action, including global donor, government, and industry investment in injury prevention. The persisting burden of DALYs related to transport and unintentional injuries indicates a need to prioritise innovative measures for the primary prevention of adolescent injury.
