Nanovaccines are considered a new approach in vaccination methodology specially for Covid-19 infection. Nanovaccines are more effective than conventional vaccines; Because ofhumoral and cellular immune responses which are simultaneously induced. Nano vaccines are assumed to upregulate the immune system as well as infection prevention. They are probably promising candidates for chronic autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, AIDS, and COVID-19 infectious. Based on this, we will describe the different working mechanisms of nanoparticles. In addition, applicable nano vaccines which have been approved for COVID-19 therapy Covid 19 are described. Antigen-carrying nanoparticles can affect the immune response and significantly enhance cell-T cytotoxic response. Nanoscale particles can improve vaccine efficiency because of their biomedical benefits. These properties include Small size, which allows better penetration into tumors and more half-life tumor cells. Current vaccines, however, are required to re-formulate almost because of gradual antigen modifications. More ever these vaccines do not protect against mutations and the low half-life of current vaccines due to limitations of current technologies. Nano vaccine formulation improvements have been required to induce a widespread and potent immune response. In this review, we provide an overview ofthe types and applications of nanoparticles in vaccines and their outstanding properties that made them alternatives for Covid-19 treatment. © 2023, Bentham Books imprint.
Anaphylaxis
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2023) Ayik, D.B.; Dogan, D.A.
Anaphylaxis is a serious condition that usually occurs suddenly and requires immediate treatment, which can lead to hypoxemia and/or shock and death. Nurses should be able to recognize early signs of anaphylaxis and know how to intervene appropriately. Although the risk of complications from anaphylaxis can be reduced with timely and appropriate treatment, the ideal approach is to prevent anaphylaxis from developing. Routine education of patients and their families is critical to prevent recurrence of anaphylaxis, and teaching this knowledge is a key role of the nurse. © 2023 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

Botulism is a rare but serious illness caused by a toxin produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. The toxin can cause paralysis and, in severe cases, it can be fatal. Botulism can be contracted through contaminated food, wound infections, or the use of contaminated drugs. Symptoms typically appear within six to 36 hours after exposure and include blurred vision, dry mouth, difficulty swallowing, and muscle weakness. Diagnosis is typically made through laboratory testing of blood or stool samples from a patient. Treatment involves administering antitoxin medication and supportive care to manage symptoms. Prevention measures include proper food handling and preparation, wound care, and avoiding the use of illicit drugs. While botulism is rare, it is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and reduce the risk of complications. © 2024 Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.

Collective Capabilities and Local Democratic Governance to Transform Public Education: A Case Study on the Brazilian State of Ceará
(IGI Global, 2025) Çuhadar, Pınar
Amartya Sen's Capability Approach (CA) provides an alternative understanding of development, welfare, and democracy. Amartya Sen focuses on the non-material roots of welfare, such as agency freedom, and the material roots of economic development. However, his approach's liberal roots, which put individuals at the center of analysis, have been criticized in various aspects. The literature on collective capabilities provides arguments for filling these criticized gaps in the CA. This study aims to discuss the role of social movements in transforming the power relations created by the neoliberal economic and political system, along with its relationship between education and deliberative democracy through collective capabilities, using the solid example of the Brazilian state of Ceará. By examining Ceará, it is expected to see how collective capabilities can transform public education into a more inclusive direction in the long term. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

Plants have a crucial role in sustaining all living organisms. Plants possess unique systems that they have evolved to counteract different biotic and abiotic stressors, ensuring the continuation of their essential functions. Specifically, the organisms generate secondary metabolites that bear significant bioactivity. Aromatic plants, rich in bioactive compounds, produce these phytochemicals as a defense mechanism and for preventive purposes, exerting substantial impacts on human health. The effects encompass antibacterial, anticancer, antioxidant, antidiabetic, and antiinflammatory actions. Incorporating plants with these effects into the human diet enhances the significance of plants in terms of their defensive and beneficial characteristics. The characterization of bioactive compounds in aromatic plants can be determined utilizing a variety of equipment and methodologies. By analyzing the chemical composition of the plant, we can establish the specific type and quantity of bioactive compounds it contains. These characterization techniques play a crucial role in determining the direction of many activities involving bioactive compounds. This study aimed to investigate the secondary metabolites, bioactivities, and characteristics of aromatic plants. © 2025 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2021) Kodaş, B.; Kodaş, D.; 11.03. Department of Tourism Management / Turizm İşletmeciliği Bölümü; 11. Faculty of Tourism / Turizm Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Travels and vacations organised by a large number of people to certain destinations in certain periods cause some negative impacts on the destinations in question. The concept of overtourism, which has become a current issue especially with the anti-tourism demonstrations in certain destinations such as Venice, Barcelona and Dubrovnik as a result of the increasing tourism carrying capacity, has been drawing attention in recent years regarding the sustainability in the destinations. Popular destinations that are affected by overtourism try to develop some strategies in order to minimise the negative impacts of overtourism. One of these strategies is the demarketing strategy that is developed by the destination stakeholders towards the target group. In this chapter of the book, the significance of the concept of demarketing in terms of struggle against overtourism was revealed and how demarketing strategies applied to the marketing mix and different strategies were approached in tourism studies was discussed in detail by addressing the current literature. In addition, suggestions were proposed to the popular destinations that feel the negative impacts of overtourism and will be affected by overtourism also in the future concerning creating their own demarketing strategies and destination planning. © 2021 by Emerald Publishing Limited.

Derin Öğrenme ile Büyük Veri Kümelemlerinden Saldırı Türlerinin Sınıflandırılması
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2019) Ahmetoglu, H.; Das, R.
One of the solutions proposed to ensure information security is intrusion detection systems. Improving the performance of these systems has been among the most important objectives of information technologies. In this study, a detailed analysis of the explicitly presented CICIDS2017 data set was performed. The data set was rearranged by collecting different types of attacks under the same heading for binary classification. For multiple classifications, all files it contains are combined. Using the new version of the data set, a sample model has been developed with the Full Linked Artificial Neural Network, which is one of the machine learning techniques. This model is encoded with TensorFlow-Keras libraries and classified using network traffic properties. The success of the dual classification results and the multiple classification successes were compared. Multiple classification can include the type of attack. On the other hand, in case of dual classification, the attack is present and no attack status is examined. The success rate of binary classification is expected to reduce false alarm conditions in intrusion detection systems. © 2019 IEEE.
Destructive Effect of Heavy Metals on the Oxidative Defense Mechanism of Some Aromatic Plants
(Elsevier, 2025) Kanber, S.; Yildiztekin, M.; Baran, A.
Aromatic plants are used in the production of natural medicines, treatment of various diseases, production of essential oils, and as a food source. Many plants are cultivated for their aromatic compounds. The essential oils they produce are used as antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and insecticidal agents, and as appetite suppressants against herbivores. Heavy metal pollution, which has become a significant environmental issue, can be highly reactive and toxic to living cells. Aromatic plants may be exposed to heavy metals in both natural and cultivated environments, leading to stress and oxidative damage in the plants. Some heavy metals cannot undergo biological degradation reactions, while others, due to their immobile nature, cannot be removed from the environment, resulting in accumulation. Those that are mobile can enter cells through various transport pathways and negatively affect physiological processes in the plant. The formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) occurs as a result of these physiological processes. ROS types, such as O2 •-, 1O2, H2O2, and •OH, can be hazardous to cells, cause structural damage, and lead to cell death. The imbalance between the accumulation and removal of these oxidative molecules in the cell causes oxidative stress. The effects of oxidative stress can be observed in enzyme inactivation, disruption of membrane integrity, and inhibition of growth in plants. To mitigate the effects of oxidative stress and defend themselves, plants have antioxidant defense mechanisms. These mechanisms include enzymatic antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase, peroxidase, ascorbate peroxidase, and nonenzymatic antioxidants such as lipid-soluble and water-soluble reducing agents. The type, dose, and duration of heavy metal exposure, as well as the species and developmental stages of the plant, trigger various antioxidant defense mechanisms and responses. In this process, the role of ROS detoxifying enzymes is particularly significant. Due to their various properties, such as metal exclusion, aromatic plants are able to cope with oxidative stress. In conclusion, understanding the factors that affect the antioxidant defense mechanisms and enzyme inhibition in plants under heavy metal stress, and developing strategies to address them, is important for enhancing plant productivity and ensuring adaptation to environmental stress. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.

(Mersin University, 2022) Karataş, L.; Alptekin, A.; Karabacak, A.; Yakar, M.; 17.06. Department of Architecture and Urban Planning / Mimarlık ve Şehir Planma Bölümü; 17. Vocational Higher School / Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Detection of material degradation of urban facades constitutes a preliminary activity for the preparation of any restoration response project. The traditional method for fixation relies on mechanical contact means and requires a great time effort to obtain a few preliminary points. In addition, the size of buildings and historical places make it difficult to examine the types of material deterioration, and on-site visual analyzes and current inspections by experts can also lead to human-induced errors. The development of methods based on UAV photogrammetry in order to reduce the labor force and margin of error in solving this situation brings great convenience for the detection of material deterioration in historical areas. The aim of the study carried out in this context is to document the material problems of "Sarışıh Han", a historical masonry building located in the Tarsus district of Mersin, which is of great importance for its continuity. Contributing to the documentation, detection and repair of financial problems for the preservation of the cultural heritage of the region and thus the sustainable management of the structures in the geographical region. In this context, material problems in the structure were documented using UAV photogrammetry method. In the study, the use of UAV photogrammetry to support the constraints of material deteriorations allows for more detailed results in façade analysis of material deteriorations, leading to simplification of manual and direct search procedures. © Author(s) 2022.

Deterioration Analysis of Historical Village House Structure in Mersin Kanlıdivane Archaeological Area by Uav Method
(Mersin University, 2023) Karataş, L.; Dal, M.; 17.06. Department of Architecture and Urban Planning / Mimarlık ve Şehir Planma Bölümü; 17. Vocational Higher School / Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
The village house located in the Mersin Kanlıdivane archaeological site is one of the oldest settlements in the ruins, built in the second century. The house is mainly built of a yellowish beige limestone. This stone, which is the main material of the building, shows many deterioration patterns today. The aim of the study is to determine the dominant deterioration pattern of the stones in the village house structure in the Mersin Kanlıdivane archaeological site and to investigate the source of the deterioration. In order to investigate the deterioration patterns in the structure, the images obtained by UAV photogrammetry were interpreted and the types of deterioration were mapped. In the study, it is seen that even the types of material problems based on the smallest detail can be determined based on virtual visual inspection, thanks to UAV photogrammetry, without observing the structure in situ with UAV photogrammetry. The findings obtained in the study shows that the color change and surface loss deterioration on the stone surfaces has reached advanced levels as a result of the structure's exposure to the strong climate-induced sun and water effects for centuries. The results of the study show that the main damage observed on the stone surface of the structure is caused by the erosion by the effect of water. Restoration methods should be tried to stabilize the deterioration and replace the most degraded stones. It is recommended to use water-repellent surface coatings to protect the natural stone, especially against the intense water effect in the building. © 2023, Mersin University. All rights reserved.

(Jomard Publishing, 2025) Evcil, Murat; Kurt, Barış; Baran, Ayse; Mouhoub, Anouar; Karakaplan, Mehmet
In this investigation, chitosan-based films loaded with plant extracts from Crataegus orientalis (CR) were elaborated and evaluated in terms of structural, physicochemical and antimicrobial properties. Firstly, the CR extract was characterized by LC-MS/MS showing an abundance of Protocatechuic acid (56.82 μg/g) and Chlorogenic acid (67.13 μg/g). Then, the extract was incorporated into chitosan-based films at different concentrations (CHCR1-3). Findings revealed modifications in FTIR and XRD graphs as well as SEM micrographs following the incorporation of CR extract confirming the changes in the matrix structure and texture. Moreover, the addition of the extract reduced the transparency, swelling ratio, water solubility and moisture content potencies while increasing considerably the material thickness reaching 2.5-fold as regards CHCR3. Furthermore, Thermogravimetric findings showed three stages of degradation for CH control and CHCR2, with mass loss due to water evaporation and glycerol breakdown. Ultimately, CHCR bioformulations showed significant antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Candida albicans, especially in the case of the CHCR3, which was verified by the application as a preservative coating for lemon fruit. These encouraging results highlight the potential utilization of CHCR bioformulation as coating/packaging for perishable food products. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(Turkish Journal of Agricultural Economics, 2020) Çuhadar, P.; 04.01. Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü; 04. Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences / İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Purpose: The aim of this study is to test empirically the relationship between climate change and agriculture in developing countries within the frame of the political economy. The extreme events related to climate change such as floods, desertification, loss of fertile soil, water scarcity, drought, rising at sea level negatively affect human life economically, politically and socially. As a global public good, implementations of natural environment protection strategies seem to be possible through international cooperation. However, the limited state capacity of many developing countries’ do not allow this cooperation. One of the factors preventing this cooperation is the production structure of developing countries. As a matter of fact, the agriculture sector, having great importance of the production, consumption and distribution relations of developing countries, feeds climate change with the use of natural resources and effected by these changes too. Design/methodology/approach: In this context, the relationship between carbon emission levels, agricultural value added, irrigated agricultural land, participatory democracy, urbanization, reel GDP percapita and energy use data belonging to twenty developing countries having the highest agricultural value added between 2000-2014 is examined by the System Generalized Moments Method (GMM-sys). Findings: The agricultural value added and participatory democracy and energy use have statistically significant effect on carbon emission. Originality/value: The study is one of the research that tests the relationship between agriculture and climate change with the political economy variable. © 2020, Turkish Journal of Agricultural Economics.
