Article Açık Bir Ekonomide Toplam İstikrarsızlığın Test Edilmesi(2022) Yılmaz, Yusuf Ömür; 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 ÜniversitesiBu makale, alternatif para politikası kuralları altında pozitif uzun vadeli enflasyon oranı ve güneş lekesi şoku içeren küçük bir açık ekonomi Yeni-Keynesyen modeli kullanarak 2010 ve 2016 yılları arasında Türk ekonomisinin istikrarını ampirik olarak test etmektedir. Belirsizlik olasılıklarının bire çok yakın olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu dönemde ekonominin istikrarsız olduğu sonucuna varılabilir çünkü Merkez Bankası'nın enflasyona zayıf tepki vermesine rağmen uzun vadeli enflasyon oranı yüksek tek hanelidir. Bu durum ekonomiyi genel istikrarsızlığa sürüklemiştir.Article Alışkan Formasyonlu Modelde Reel Döviz Kuru Dinamiği(2021) Yılmaz, Yusuf Ömür; 04.01. Department of Economics / İktisat Bölümü; 04.

PCA 1 and PCA 2 axes (Principal component) were significant (0.01) and supplied to 68.30% of the complete G x E interaction. The AMMI analysis revealed that E3 and E5 were more stable and high productive; mean while E6 and E7 were unstable and nominal efficient environments. According to stability variance, the genotypes (G1, G3, G6 and G9) were the productive and more stable; meanwhile G4 and G5 were low productive and stable genotypes. Moreover, G2 were the best productive to all environments without E2. The G x E model exposed according to AMMI analysis recommended that G2 shown candidates and registered as Kendal, because of wide adaptability with high performances in all environments.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 8Applications of Biodegradable Green Composites(Springer Nature, 2021) Yildirim, A.; Acay, H.; 09.03. Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiMaterials called biodegradable green composites consisting of matrices and reinforcers made entirely from natural resources are macro-, micro-, or nano-sized materials that can fulfill desired mechanical and thermal properties as well as being light. Producing natural polymers with good mechanical properties and thermal stability has attracted the attention of many researchers. The use of this material through a variety of mixtures and composites has become more and more popular as raw materials are limited and there is more concern about greener material that is environmentally friendly. Therefore, materials made from renewable sources such as biocompatible/biodegradable polymers can dominate the future by replacing the petroleum raw material. However, more efforts are needed to achieve better properties of the renewable polymer blend and composites and also to address the deficiencies of this new material. To do this, a basic understanding of renewable material types, structures, properties, and potential applications as needed. The study covers the application areas of biodegradable green composites. The stated application areas can be literature support for the rapid development of biodegradable composites at the request of researchers, manufacturers, and consumers for environmentally friendly products. © 2021, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Article Aqp1 ve Aqp3 Membran Proteinleri ile Mandibulada Hücresel ve Fizyolojik Dejenerasyon İlişkisinin Araştırılması(2020) Çiçek, Mustafa; Tümer, Mehmet Kemal; Unsal, Velid; 09.03.

Department of Organic Agriculture / Organik Tarım Bölümü; 16. School of Vocational Higher School of Kızıltepe/ Kızıltepe Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiKiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) production in northeastern T & uuml;rkiye is facing an emerging threat from Armillaria root rot. Surveys conducted in August 2021 and 2022 revealed that 10.5%-17.5% of the 200-500 vines within each of 35 kiwifruit orchards in the Per & scedil;embe, G & uuml;lyal & imath; and Alt & imath;nordu districts of Ordu province exhibited symptoms of Armillaria root rot, including complete defoliation. Diseased plants exhibited diagnostic signs on their root collars and woody roots, including white mycelial fans, extensive wood rot and rhizomorphs. A single Armillaria isolate was obtained from each of the 35 symptomatic orchards. Molecular identification, employing DNA sequencing of the large subunit (LSU) region of rDNA, the translation elongation factor subunit 1-alpha (TEF1) gene and the second largest RNA polymerase II B-subunit (RPB2) gene, identified 20 isolates as Armillaria gallica and 15 as A. mellea. Phylogenetic analyses, based on TEF1 alignments, further supported the species identification with a 100% bootstrap value. To examine genetic diversity, start codon targeted (SCoT) marker 13 was used, successfully differentiating the two Armillaria species and revealing three distinct clades. Clades I and II comprised 15 and 5 isolates of A. gallica, respectively, while Clade III contained all 15 A. mellea isolates. Pathogenicity testing on kiwifruit seedlings (cv. Hayward) revealed the ability of both A. gallica and A. mellea isolates to induce disease. Rhizomorph-producing isolates in kiwifruit seedlings displayed high virulence, inducing severe leaf necrosis and seedling mortality, while isolates lacking these structures were non-pathogenic. This study identifies the first global instance of A. gallica causing kiwifruit root rot. This finding, along with the identification of A. mellea as a causal agent in the country, highlights the emerging threat of Armillaria root rot to kiwifruit production in the region.Correction Armillaria Species Causing Kiwifruit Vine Decline and Root Rot in Northeastern Turkiye: a Growing Concern for Kiwifruit Health (Vol 172, E13409, 2024)(Wiley, 2025) Turkkan, Muharrem; Bozoglu, Tugba; Dervis, Sibel; Erper, Ismail; Ozer, Goksel; 16.01.

Department of Architecture / Mimarlık Bölümü; 08. Faculty of Engineering and Architecture / Mühendislik Mimarlık Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThis research critically challenges the conventional perception of drawings as mere technical blueprints and delves into the intricate integration of design ideation, abstraction, and speculation with geometrical manipulations and semantic labelling. By focusing on unconventional architectural design studio experiments at the undergraduate level, the study aims to explore the role of creativity in speculative drawing. It adopts a 3-dimensional design thinking process that transcends the rigid constraints of traditional drawings and embraces the fluidity of representational norms. Furthermore, the paper elucidates on the pedagogical aspects of the design studio, including the unstructured creativity inherent in the design process. The methodology employed in this study is exemplified through different stages of the design studio, incorporating a variety of representations such as 2D, 2.5D, and 3D, encompassing scalar, geometric, and material transfigurations. To assess the outcomes of the studio, the research utilises correlation diagrams that establish connections between digital drawing features at different stages and the unstructured creativity manifested in the final design. These scatter and correlation diagrams capture the syntactic relationships between the objects within digital drawings. The findings of this study reveal insight on the nuanced interplay between intuitive, reflective, and retrospective aspects of unstructured creativity during the design ideation process. By unravelling the intricate role of digital design tools and methods this research contributes to a deeper understanding of how design ideation is generated and manifested through the dynamic interplay of the modulating compounds of drawing objects. It highlights the significance of meaningful, conceptual, and speculative representations that directly relate to the creation of buildable forms and architectural spaces. Through its critical insights, this study paves the way for advancements in the field of CAAD and offers valuable perspective for architectural education and practice.Article Assessment of preoperative anxiety and negative automatic thoughts in patients waiting for corneal transplantation(Publishing Office of the University of Rzeszow, 2024) Tanrıverdi, Seher; Şen, Mehmet Ali; Genç, Hasan; 09.06. Department of Social Services/ Sosyal Hizmet Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiIntroduction and aim. In patients waiting for organ transplantation, increased waiting time can increase anxiety by creating negative automatic thoughts. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between corneal transplant recipients' negative automatic thoughts and anxiety before organ transplantation. Material and methods. The population of this correlational descriptive study consisted of 108 patients waiting for cornea transplantation in the Eye Bank unit of a hospital in the south east region of Türkiye. The data were obtained from the patients presented to the ophthalmology clinic for transplantation between September and December 2022. A patient information form, the Negative Automatic Thoughts Scale, and the Trait Anxiety Scale were used to collect the data. Percentage distribution, arithmetic mean, logistic regression and correlation analysis were used in the data analysis. Results. It was determined that the mean score of the negative automatic thoughts of the transplant patients participating in the study was 100.69±47.83, and the trait anxiety mean score was 53.06±6.07. There was a positive relationship between negative automatic thoughts and trait anxiety at a moderate level, which was statistically significant (p<0.05, r=0.53). Conclusion. It was determined in the study that the patients' negative automatic thoughts and trait anxiety were high, and their anxiety increased as the negative automatic thoughts increased.Review Bedouin Bureaucrats: Mobility and Property in the Ottoman Empire.(Burhan Caglar, 2024) Ciftci, Erdal; 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 ÜniversitesiThis monograph examines the imperial nation-building process in the latter half of the nineteenth century, centering on tent-dwelling Bedouin tribes of inner Syria, predominantly in the Transjordan region. Investigating interactions among Bedouin chiefs, commercial-capitalists, urban elites, and Ottoman officials from the eighteenth to the early twentieth century, it illustrates the central role of Bedouin bureaucrats in fostering mutually beneficial relationships within or outside the state sphere.Article Citation - Scopus: 15Biosorption Studies of Mushrooms for Two Typical Dyes(Journal of the Turkish Chemical Society, Section A: Chemistry, 2020) Yıldırım, Ayfer; Acay, Hilal; 21.02. Department of Medical Services and Techniques / Tıbbi Hizmetler ve Teknikleri Bölümü; 09.03. Department of Nutrition and Dietetics/ Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü; 9. Faculty of Health Sciences / Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi; 21. Vocational School of Health Services / Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiThis study investigated the adsorption behaviour of two cationic dyes, methylene blue (MB) and malachite green (MG) onto Pleurotus ostreatus, Armillaria tabescens, and Morchella conica mushrooms. The effects of contact time, initial dye concentration, and solution pH (3-11) were also determined. The adsorption on all mushrooms attained equilibrium within 120 min for both MB and MG. To evaluate the experimental kinetics data, the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, and intraparticle diffusion kinetics equations were utilised. The pseudo-first-order kinetic model demonstrated a good fit with all adsorption kinetics. The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models were used to analyse the mechanism of the adsorption isotherm. The adsorption equilibrium isotherm was in a good agreement with the Freundlich model. Thermodynamic parameters such as ΔH enthalpy variation, ΔS entropy variation, and ΔG free Gibbs energy variation were calculated at 303-323 K. The results suggested that the Pleurotus ostreatus mushroom was the most suitable adsorbent for both cationic dyes’ removal.Book Part Blockchain-Enabled Strategies for Sustainable Business and Organisational Growth(Springer, 2025) Kurnaz, G.; Kılıç, C.This chapter examines the transformative role of blockchain technology in fostering sustainable business and organisational growth. It highlights blockchain’s capacity to enhance supply chain transparency, promote innovative business models and embed ethical practices into corporate strategies. Blockchain’s decentralized and immutable features enable organisations to address challenges such as resource inefficiency, unethical practices and stakeholder mistrust. The integration of blockchain with the principles of the smart circular economy offers a pathway for redefining linear economic models, emphasizing reuse, remanufacturing and recycling to achieve sustainability goals. Furthermore, blockchain-enabled tokenization and decentralized decision-making frameworks are explored as tools for incentivizing sustainability and improving resource management. Despite its potential, blockchain adoption faces barriers, including regulatory uncertainties and technological standardization issues. This chapter underscores the necessity for strategic frameworks, stakeholder collaboration and a culture of continuous learning to fully leverage blockchain’s potential for sustainable practices. By addressing these challenges, blockchain technology can become a cornerstone for achieving long-term sustainability and resilience in businesses and organisations. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Article British Orientalist And Intelligence Officer David George Hogarth's Perspective On The Palestinian Territory And Issue;(Muhammed Mustafa KULU, 2024) İpek, M.Due to its geopolitical position and the location of the holy shrines of the three holy religions, the Palestinian region has been a geography of interest to great powers throughout history. From the 19th century to the mid-20th century, the Britain was among the states that attached importance to the Palestine region in order to protect its interests in the Middle East and to be the defender of the Christian religion. Some politicians, clergymen, scientists and military officers working in official and private institutions within the British State also came to the Palestine region to protect the interests of their countries in the Middle East. The defenders of the state, who worked in different branches, gathered information about the Palestinian region and presented articles that would help the imperialist policies of their countries. Among the British who travelled to the Middle East and Palestine to protect their country's interests was the orientalist, researcher, writer and intelligence officer D. G. Hogarth (1862-1927). During his scholarly work in the Middle East between 1887 and 1915, during and after World War I, Hogarth wrote numerous military-political reports, letters, memoranda and academic papers on the Palestine region and issue. This study analyses the views, recommendations and warnings of the orientalist Hogarth on the Palestinian region and issue in the context of his texts. © 2024, Muhammed Mustafa KULU.

Department of History of Art / Sanat Tarihi Bölümü; 02. Faculty of Letters / Edebiyat Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiLate Antique Northern Mesopotamia, which was situated at the eastern edge of the Byzantine Empire, was dotted with important cities such as Edessa (Urfa), Anastasiopolis (Dara), Amida (Diyarbakir), Martryropolis (Silvan), Constantia (Viranşehir) and Nisibis (Nusaybin). These cities were wealthy and highly cosmopolitan. As a result, the region had a sophisticated architecture which was by no means inferior to that found in other parts of the Byzantine Empire. This article deals with two monumental centralised churches in Northern Mesopotamia, namely the Church of the Virgin at Amida and the Octagon at Constantia. It concentrates firstly on the Church of the Virgin, which is an aisled-tetraconch church, a familiar plan type repeated in different parts of the Empire, and secondly on the Octagon at Constantia which has some unique features but shares the ambulatory design, long eastern chamber, use of materials and the monumentality with the aisled-tetraconch at Amida. By contextualising these two churches together, which has not been done in the past, this paper sheds further light on these neglected structures and reconsiders their reconstructions, dating, dedications and possible prototypes.Article Comparison of Chitosan-Containing Hemostatic Pad and Manual Compression After Coronary Angiography With Femoral Access(Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia, 2024) Kiliç, R.; Güzel, T.; Aktan, A.; Kaya, A.F.; Department of Internal Medical Sciences / Dahili Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu ÜniversitesiBackground: Femoral access remains a common choice in coronary angiography due to its easy accessibility and high success rate. Various techniques exist for achieving hemostasis following femoral artery catheterization. Objectives: The aim of our study is to compare the methods of chitosan-containing hemostatic pad (HP) and manual compression (MC) in terms of efficacy and safety in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with coronary angiography via femoral access. Method: A total of 204 patients from 3 centers were included in our study between August 2021 and June 2023. The patients were divided into 2 groups, HP and MC, with 102 patients in each. Patients were evaluated for back and low back pain, complications, and duration of hemostasis immediately after angiography and up to 24 hours. Student’s t test and Mann-Whitney U test were used for numerical variables, while chi-square test was used for categorical variables. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Hemostasis time and back and low back pain were significantly lower in the HP group (7.5 ± 1.1 versus 15.1 ± 1.6, p < 0.001 and 2.13 ± 1.29 versus 4.22 ± 1.69, p < 0.001, respectively). While ecchymosis was found to be significantly lower in the HP group (2.9% versus 14.7%, p = 0.003), there was no significant difference in terms of other complications. Conclusion: HP was found to be more advantageous than MC in patients who underwent coronary angiography with femoral access. While ecchymosis and back and low back pain were found to be lower in the HP group, the absence of the need for sandbags also increases patient comfort. © 2024, Sociedade Brasileira de Cardiologia.
