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.

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.

Adsorption Behaviors of Malachite Green by Using Crosslinked Chitosan/Polyacrylic Acid/Bentonite Composites with Different Ratios
(Elsevier, 2020) Yildirim, Ayfer; Bulut, Yasemin
In this study, by using different quantities of methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) and acrylic acid (AA), chitosan/polyacrylic acid/bentonite composites (CCS/PAA/BNTs) were synthesized and used for the adsorption of malachite green (MG). The fourier transmission infrared spectra, thermogravimetric analysis-differential thermal analysis and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to determine synthesized composites. The effects of initial concentration, contact time, temperature and pH were investigated. Kinetic studies indicated that, due to the pseudo-second order model, correlation coefficients (R-2 >0.98) were the best fit thus, by using k(ps), the activation energies (E-a) were calculated (19.06, 15.64, 19.49, 8.29, 24.53 kJmol(-1)). The equilibrium data of MG agreed with the Langmuir model. The highest adsorption capacity calculated was found as 384.62-454.55 mgg(-1) for MG adsorption at 298-318 K. Thermodynamic studies demonstrated that MG adsorption was endothermic, caused spontaneous reaction and increased the entropy between 298-318 K. The adsorption reactions of MG were revealed as physisorption (Delta H<80 kJmol(-1)). The optimum pH was found as 6. The CCS/PAA/BNT2 composite indicated the highest adsorption capacity and best thermal stability compared to the other composites. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2018) Hossain, Eklas; Tur, Mehmet Rida; Padmanaban, Sanjeevikumar; Ay, Selim; Khan, Imtiaj; 17.02. Department of Electricity and Energy / Elektrik ve Enerji Bölümü; 17. Vocational Higher School / Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
This paper discusses the power quality issues for distributed generation systems based on renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind energy. A thorough discussion about the power quality issues is conducted here. This paper starts with the power quality issues, followed by discussions of basic standards. A comprehensive study of power quality in power systems, including the systems with dc and renewable sources is done in this paper. Power quality monitoring techniques and possible solutions of the power quality issues for the power systems are elaborately studied. Then, we analyze the methods of mitigation of these problems using custom power devices, such as D-STATCOM, UPQC, UPS, TVSS, DVR, etc., for micro grid systems. For renewable energy systems, STATCOM can be a potential choice due to its several advantages, whereas spinning reserve can enhance the power quality in traditional systems. At Last, we study the power quality in dc systems. Simpler arrangement and higher reliability are two main advantages of the dc systems though it faces other power quality issues, such as instability and poor detection of faults.
Antifungal Potential of Endophytic Bacteria from Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) Against Fusarium culmorum and Neoscytalidium dimidiatum Under Greenhouse Conditions
(Springer, 2025) Guney, Inci Guler; Keske, Mehmet Ata
This study investigated the antifungal potential of endophytic bacteria (EB) isolated from lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) against two phytopathogenic fungi Fusarium culmorum and Neoscytalidium dimidiatum under greenhouse conditions. Seventy EB isolates were obtained and subjected to phenotypic characterization and enzymatic activity profiling. Through 16S rRNA gene sequencing, five isolates were identified as Bacillus sp. (Lvt24, Lvt25, Lvt32, Lvt58 and Lvt62). Greenhouse experiments showed lavender plants treated with a mixture of Bacillus sp. isolates (Lvt24 + Lvt62) via root dipping and soil application grew better than other treatments and the control. Similarly, Bacillus sp. (Lvt25) application alone improved plant health and growth. Plants inoculated with N. dimidiatum had 81.07% disease incidence and 77.7% severity, while those inoculated with F. culmorum had 88.43% disease incidence and 81.6% severity, indicating a high level of infection. Inoculating with the pathogens and Lvt25 isolate reduced disease incidence and severity by 56.2 and 57.9% respectively, compared to control plants infected with N. dimidiatum, and by 57.7 and 57.8%, respectively, compared to control plants infected with F. culmorum. These findings indicate that Bacillus sp. Lvt25 isolate has a beneficial effect in reducing disease against these pathogens and has the potential to be a biological control agent.

(Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Ipek, Polat; Baran, Ayse; Cebe, Deniz Baris; Ahmadian, Elham; Eftekhari, Aziz; Baran, Mehmet Firat; 21.02. Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; 21. Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Cancer is a type of non-communicable disease that is responsible for numerous deaths worldwide. Cancer incidence and mortality rates are on the rise due to a combination of factors, such as a growing population, aging, and poor dietary habits. The Allium turcicum & Ouml;zhatay & Cowley plant is an endemic plant in the area where it grows and is consumed by the public due to its various benefits. This endemic plant, which generally grows in high-altitude regions, is sold in bunches because it is costly, mixed with rock salt, crushed into powder, and consumed as a spice. The cytotoxic and growth-inhibitory effects of A. turcicum & Ouml;zhatay & Cowley herb extract on human glioblastoma U373 cells, human colorectal carcinoma cell HCT-116, and healthy HUVEC cell lines were determined by the MTT method. After 24 and 48 h of application, logIC50 values in HUVEC, HCT-116, and U373 cells were defined as 3.737, 3.765; 3.513, 3.696, 4.476, and 4.104 mu g/mL, respectively. We conducted a cell migration experiment to study the A. turcicum & Ouml;zhatay & Cowley Extract (AT & Ouml;CE) impact on cancer cells' metastatic behavior. Our findings indicate that AT & Ouml;CE has an inhibitory effect on the migration potential of the cells used in the study. We conducted experiments using DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, and total phenolic content to assess the antioxidant properties of AT & Ouml;CE. The findings from the antioxidant activity experiments revealed an activity level of 0.20 +/- 0.046 at IC50. Additionally, the total phenolic content was measured to be 0.26 +/- 0.044 mg GAE/g.
Architectural Features and Typological Analysis of Historical Syriac Churches in Mardin Rural Area
(KeAi Communications Co., 2025) Dinç, Erdal; Dalkiliç, Neslihan
This study deals with the architectural features, typological diversity and sustainability of the historical Syriac churches in the rural areas of Mardin province in southeastern Turkey. Mardin countryside, which bears the traces of different civilisations starting from the pre-Christian period, is of great importance especially for the architectural and cultural heritage of the Syriac Orthodox community. Within the scope of the research, 61 churches and monasteries, most of which were built between the 4th and 9th centuries, were examined in detail, preserving their original structural features and survey drawings of these buildings were created. In this context, a typological classification of the churches and monasteries (monastery churches) in rural Mardin was conducted, identifying three main plan types: single nave village churches oriented along the east-west axis, multi-nave churches and monastery-type churches oriented along the north-south axis. Important architectural elements of these buildings, such as Kduskudshin, doors, windows and bell towers, were analysed in detail and their impact on the original character of the buildings was studied. The results of the study indicate that the preservation of Syriac religious buildings in rural Mardin is crucial not only for the conservation of these buildings but also for ensuring the continuity of the multi-layered cultural heritage of the region. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
An Assessment of Intermittent and Continuous Enteral Feeding in Critically Ill Children
(Mdpi, 2025) Misirlioglu, Merve; Yildizdas, Dincer; Ekinci, Faruk; Akcay, Nihal; Bingol, Ilyas; Sahin, Ebru; Coban, Yasemin
Background: The inability to ensure adequate nutrition for patients, and failure to provide adequate calorie and protein intake, result in malnutrition, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The present study assesses the two approaches to enteral nutrition-intermittent and continuous enteral feeding-in critically ill pediatric patients in T & uuml;rkiye to determine the superiority of one method over the other. Methods: Included in this multicenter prospective study were patients receiving enteral nutrition via a tube who were followed up over a 3-month period. Anthropometric data, calorie and protein intake, and signs of feeding intolerance were evaluated in a comparison of the different feeding methods. Results: A total of 510 patients were examined. In the continuous enteral feeding (CEF) group, 20.2% of patients developed metabolic abnormalities, and 49.5% experienced enteral nutrition intolerance, both of which were higher than in the intermittent enteral feeding (IEF) group, and the differences were statistically significant. No significant differences were observed between the two feeding methods in terms of reaching the target calorie intake on days 2 and 7 (p > 0.05). On day 7, there were significant differences between the two feeding methods in terms of calorie and protein intake (p = 0.023 and 0.014, respectively). Conclusions: In the present study, assessing the IEF and CEF approaches to enteral nutrition, critically ill pediatric patients receiving intermittent feeding exhibited lower rates of enteral nutrition intolerance and metabolic abnormalities. Furthermore, the calorie and protein intake on day 7 were noted to be higher in the IEF group than in the CEF group. Further randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm the findings of the present study.

(Mdpi, 2025) Orhan, Ozhan; Gokdemir, Gul Sahika; Department of Internal Medical Sciences / Dahili Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; Department of Basic Medical Sciences / Temel Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Background/Objectives: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a motor disorder resulting from brain damage that is common in childhood. Iron is vital for the body's basic functions. Iron metabolism disorders and inflammation contribute to the neurological complications seen in CP. The purpose of this research was to ascertain the association and correlation between markers of inflammation and iron metabolism in children with CP. Methods: A total of 181 children diagnosed with CP and 111 typically developing children were retrospectively included in the study. Demographic data, blood parameters, C-reactive protein, iron, total iron binding capacity, and inflammation markers were evaluated. Results: C-reactive protein (CRP), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immuno-inflammatory index (SII) levels of CP children were found to be statistically significantly higher than those of control group children (p < 0.05). Iron (Fe) and ferritin levels were lower in the CP group, while total iron binding capacity (TIBC) was higher. Spearman correlation analysis showed significant correlations between iron, ferritin and TIBC and SII. Conclusions: Iron deficiency and chronic inflammation are associated with the pathophysiology of CP in patients with CP, and therefore it is important to monitor markers of iron metabolism and inflammation in these patients.

Assessment of Walnut (juglans Regia L.) Cultivation Land Suitability Using a Multiple-Criteria Decision-Making Method in Southeastern Turkey
(Nature Portfolio, 2025) Mercan, Cagri; 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
Site selection for agricultural products is critical for agricultural planning, productivity, and farmers. Site selection is also critical for agricultural sustainability, as it helps ensure the efficient use of natural resources and avoids environmental degradation. This research proposes an evaluation model for walnut cultivation in the Savur (Mardin, Turkey) district in the Southeastern Anatolia region. Based on literature data, expert opinion, and local walnut producers' perspectives, a spatial decision support system was developed using Geographic Information System (GIS)-based Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA). This model provides farmers and stakeholders with a comprehensive evaluation of the different walnut-producing sites in the Savur district. It allows them to make informed decisions about the most suitable areas for walnut production. The land suitability assessment for walnut orchards included four primary evaluation aspects, ten main criteria, and forty-seven sub-criteria. Evaluation criteria were weighted using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). A land suitability map was created using the weighted overlay method in overlap with the evaluation criteria. The results showed 442.56 ha of very highly suitable land, 9789.43 ha of highly suitable land, and 1140.76 ha of moderately suitable land in the Savur district. In order to determine the accuracy of the study model, ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) analysis was conducted. As a result of the validation analysis, the constructed model had an Area Under the Curve (AUC) of 0.911, which indicates an excellent fit between the model and reality; therefore, the model is acceptable. This study demonstrates that integrating AHP and GIS can aid agricultural land use planning and decision-making.

Association of Inflammatory and Metabolic Markers With Mortality in Patients With Postoperative Femur Fractures in the Intensive Care Unit
(Mdpi, 2025) Kilinc, Metin; Celik, Enes; Demir, Ibrahim; Aydemir, Semih; Akelma, Hakan; Department of Surgical Medical Sciences / Cerrahi Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
Background and Objectives: Postoperative femur fracture in elderly patients is associated with high morbidity and mortality, especially in the intensive care unit (ICU). Various factors, including demographic and laboratory parameters, may influence mortality in this population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of inflammatory and metabolic markers with mortality in ICU patients with postoperative femur fractures and to identify key predictors to enhance risk stratification and improve patient outcomes. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, we analyzed 121 patients aged over 65 years with postoperative femur fractures who were admitted to the ICU between January 2023 and January 2024. Demographic and clinical data, including comorbidities, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE II) score, were collected. Laboratory parameters such as white blood cell count (WBC), albumin, C-reactive protein (CRP), D-dimer, Pan-Immune-Inflammation Value (PIV), CRP-to-albumin ratio (CAR), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and others were analyzed. Linear regression, logistic regression, and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to determine the predictive value of these markers for ICU mortality. Results: The mean age of the patients was 76.3 +/- 9.6 years, and 52.1% were female. The most common comorbidities were hypertension (67.8%) and diabetes (49.6%). ICU mortality occurred in 24 patients (20%). Significant predictors of mortality included higher CRP (>62.8 mg/L), NLR (>10.0), PIV (>450), and APACHE II scores (>23) (p < 0.001 for all). Lower albumin levels (<2.5 g/dL) were strongly associated with increased mortality (p < 0.001). ROC analysis demonstrated that the APACHE II score had the highest predictive accuracy for mortality (AUC = 0.83), followed by albumin (AUC = 0.79) and PIV (AUC = 0.76). Extended ICU stay (>10 days) was also significantly correlated with increased mortality (p < 0.001). Conclusions: This study successfully demonstrates the utility of combining traditional clinical markers, such as APACHE II score, with novel inflammatory markers, such as PIV, CAR, and NLR, in predicting mortality in ICU patients following femur fracture surgery. The integration of emerging biomarkers with well-established scoring systems offers enhanced predictive accuracy and provides valuable insights into patient management.

(Academic Press inc Elsevier Science, 2025) Ercan, Leyla; Akan, Hasan; Caliskan, Cemile Gunbegi
Because of the numerous useful components they contain, plants are significant resources that are being explored for their varied purposes in industry, food, and medicine. Recently, particularly endemic species have gained attention with the identification of their different ingredients and characteristics and the exploration of their precious features. This research assessed the endemic species Astragalus elatus's bioactive components utilizing UHPLC-Orbitrap (R)-HRMS, its antibacterial qualities utilizing the disc diffusion method, its cytotoxic impact on cervical cancer utilizing the MTT method, and its apoptosis effect by annexin V methods. Additionally, Astragalus elatus's antidiabetic activity was revealed by in silico and in vitro examinations of its inhibitory effect on the enzymes alpha-Amylase and alpha-Glucosidase. Consequently, it was discovered that A. elatus can be utilized in the treatment of cervical cancer and has effective cytotoxic and apoptotic effects on HeLa cells. Additionally, it was detected that A. elatus possesses antibacterial and anti-diabetic properties. Compared to gram-negative bacteria, A. elatus had a greater inhibitory effect on gram-positive bacteria. The pharmacokinetically significant characteristics and their tendency for chemical reactions of this plant's primary phenolic compounds were identified by utilizing DFT, molecular docking, and ADME/T.
Bioarchaeology and Funerary Practices at the Syriac Orthodox Cemetery of Mor Yaqub Churchyard, Nusaybin, Turkey
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Acar, Ayse
The Syriacs have been, until recently, an important part of the socio-cultural life in the Mardin region. This study evaluates the burial customs of the Syriac Orthodox from the human skeletal remains found during excavations at the Mor Yaqub churchyard cemetery in Nusaybin, in south-east Turkey. The excavations were carried out in 2013, directed by the Mardin Archaeological Museum as part of its Culture and Faith Park Project. As part of the project the burial traditions of the Syriac community from the past to the present were investigated. Macroscopic bioarchaeological excavation techniques were followed and 33 graves were unearthed. There appear to be 66 individuals: 43 adults, 23 infants and juveniles. Of the adults: 11 are female; 14 are male; the remaining 18 are unsexed. Multiple burial customs have been observed from the graves examined. This study illustrates that the burial customs of the Syriac Orthodox have passed from generation to generation, surviving even until today.

(SPRINGER WIEN, 2018) Özdemir, Sadin; Yalçın, M. Serkan; Kılınç, Ersin; Soylak, Mustafa; 21.02. Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; 21. Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
The authors show that the fungus Boletus edulis loaded with gamma-Fe2O3 nanoparticles is a viable sorbent for magnetic solid phase extraction of trace levels of Co(II) and Sn(II). The surface structure of immobilized magnetized B. edulis was characterized by FT-IR, SEM and EDX. Experimental parameters were optimized. Following elution with 1 M HCl, the ions were quantified by ICP-OES. The limits of detection are 21 pg.mL(-1) for Co(II), and 19 pg.mL(-1) for Sn(II). The preconcentration factors are 100 for both ions. The sorption capacities of the sorbent are 35.8 mg.g(-1) for Co(II) and 29.6 mg.g(-1) for Sn(II). The method was applied to the analysis of certificated reference materials and gave >= 95% recoveries with low RSDs. It was also successfully applied to the quantification of Co(II) and Sn(II) in spiked environmental and food samples.
Boncuklu Tarla: Production and Social Dynamics of a Middle PPNB Knapped Stone Workshop (Mardin/Türkiye)

Boncuklu Tarla, located about 2 kilometres west of the Tigris River, is one of the few sites continuously occupied throughout the entire Pre-Pottery Neolithic Period. This site offers key insights into the evolving techniques and typologies of knapped stone tool production during the Neolithisation process. In 2017, excavations revealed a knapped stone workshop on the floor of a domestic structure, dated to the Middle PPNB. A total of 2,067 artefacts-including cores, flakes, debris, and unprocessed raw material-were found in situ, stacked together. Of these, 1,564 pieces are flint and 503 are obsidian. The finds are especially significant for understanding the use of pressure flaking techniques. Detailed typological and technological analyses, supported by experimental studies, have helped reconstruct all stages of the cha & icirc;ne op & eacute;ratoire in this production context. The Boncuklu Tarla assemblage contributes important data on Neolithic craft specialization and the organization of lithic production within domestic spaces.

Access to higher education for refugees remains a focal point in discussions concerning human rights. In the aftermath of the Syrian civil war, T & uuml;rkiye has become a significant host country for forcibly displaced individuals. While the Turkish government has implemented an open-door policy toward refugees, the actual participation of women in higher education and the workforce falls short of anticipated levels. Through the lens of Amartya Sen's Capability Approach (CA), this study delves into the perspectives of Syrian refugee women regarding their experiences with higher education in T & uuml;rkiye and investigates how their educational pursuits shape their career aspirations. Employing a qualitative methodology involving semi-structured interviews, this research examines the viewpoints of 40 women enrolled in a state university in T & uuml;rkiye. The findings underscore the role of higher education in enhancing women's career-related skills, fostering their awareness of rights, and predominantly fostering optimistic outlooks toward future labor market engagement.

Changes in sugars, organic acids and volatile compounds (VC) of red pepper flakes (RPF), traditional (TRI), and industrial (INI) isot peppers were evaluated during one year storage at the room condition. The changes in the flavor components were significantly affected by the production methods and storage time. Glucose content decreased gradually along storage and reduced by about 21.23, 47.22 and 56.65% for TRI, INI and RPF, respectively. However, fructose decreased significantly only in RPF (11.29%). Citric and succinic acids exhibited slight changes, but malic acid showed an increasing trend, especially in RPF (4-fold). Most of the VC in all samples decreased or disappeared after storage. The major quantitative losses in these compounds were found in TRI during the first 3 months as 81.76%. The storage was found to be caused deterioration flavor properties in red pepper spices and revealed the importance of appropriate storage conditions.
