A Rare Cause of Dysphagia: A Giant Ganglioneuroma in Parapharyngeal Space
(Springer, 2022) Aslan, Mehmet; Dogukan, Fatih Mert
Parafarengeal ganglioneuroma is a very rare benign tumor originating from the sympathetic nervous system that produces mass and functional effects. Ganglioneuroma is most commonly caused by the posterior mediastinal, retroperitoneal area and adrenal glands. Generally, they do not present any additional signs or symptoms other than mass. Horner’s syndrome may sometimes occur due to the compression of the sympathetic chain. A 41-year-old male patient with a long-standing mass in the lateral compartment of the left neck was admitted to our clinic. The patient was operated, and the pathological result of the mass was reported as ganglioneuroma. We present a rare case of ganglioneuroma in paraphryngeal space by reviewing the current literature. © 2022 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

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.

(Centenary University, 2025) Güler Güney, İnci
In this study, endophytic bacteria were isolated from roots and crowns of rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), olive (Olea europaea L.), and loquat (Eriobotrya japonica L.) plant samples. The morphological and physiological properties of nine isolated endophytic bacteria were determined. All isolates were identified as Gram-positive, oxidase-positive and catalase-positive. Amylase, cellulase, and carbohydrate tests gave positive results. Antagonistic activities of the isolates against fungal pathogens varied between 85.7% and 52.9% against Fusarium culmorum and between 86.0% and 65.1% against Neoscytalidium dimidiatum. BMBA2 isolate gave the best results both in Petri dish antagonistic activity and in wheat seed germination in terms of root length and coleoptile length. BMBA2 isolates gave the best results with a coleoptile length of 7.58 cm and root length of 8.33 cm. In wheat seeds treated with F. culmorum and bacteria, the BMBA2 isolate gave the best result with a coleoptile length of 6.98 and a root length of 7.30 cm. For the identification of bacteria, in vitro BiBA1 and ND3BA were determined as Bacillus amyloliquefaciens subsp. plantarum; BiBA2 and YDBA as Bacillus subtilis; NDBA, ND2BA, BMBA1, BMBA2, and BMBA3 as Bacillus mojavensis. Since this is the first study to use endophytic Bacillus mojavensis as a biological agent against F. culmorum and N. dimidiatum pathogens, the results obtained from this study are thought to be important and promising in terms of application. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

(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 Üniversitesi
Materials 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.

(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.
Assessment of Genetic Diversity and Fusarium Root Rot Response in Turkish Bread Wheat
(Springer, 2025) Sesiz, Ugur; Elis, Seval; Kizilgeci, Ferhat; Yildirim, Mehmet; Palacioglu, Gulsum
Understanding the genetic diversity and population structure of bread wheat germplasm is essential for effective breeding and conservation strategies. This study evaluated 96 bread wheat genotypes from Turkiye-including advanced lines, commercial cultivars, and landraces-using Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) and inter-Primer Binding Site (iPBS) retrotransposon markers. Six SCoT and four iPBS primers generated 81.32% and 75.59% polymorphic bands, respectively, producing clear and reproducible profiles. The average polymorphism information content was 0.19 for both marker systems, with resolving power values of 3.13 (SCoT) and 2.35 (iPBS). Unweighted pair group method with arithmetic mean (UPGMA) cluster analysis grouped the genotypes into two major clusters with 41% overall similarity. Principal coordinate analysis (PCoA) clearly illustrated the genetic differentiation among the genotypes. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) revealed that 69% of genetic variation was distributed within populations. Pathogenicity assays revealed differential disease responses among 21 genotypes to Fusarium culmorum isolate, with the cultivar Empire exhibiting moderate resistance. SCoT and iPBS markers effectively revealed genetic variation and supported the exploitation of promising genotypes for resistance breeding. The identification of genetically distinct and moderately resistant genotypes underscores the potential of Turkish wheat germplasm to support future breeding efforts.
Beyond Human Touch: Evaluating the Effectiveness of AI, Human, and Hybrid-Generated Tourism Promotional Texts
(Emerald Publishing, 2025) Carvalho, I.; Loureiro, S.M.C.; Ivanov, S.; Björk, P.; Seyitoğlu, F.
Purpose – This research aimed to compare the effectiveness of human-generated, AI-generated (ChatGPT), and hybrid promotional texts using the AIEDA model, which incorporates anticipated emotions from the Model of Goal-Directed Behavior. Design/methodology/approach – We conducted an experimental study and applied PLS-SEM and other inferential statistics to analyze whether 455 participants from the UK could differentiate between human-created, AI-generated (ChatGPT), and hybrid promotional texts and compared promotional effectiveness. Findings – Participants were not able to distinguish between the three texts. However, the human-generated text was consistently less preferred. Effectiveness perceptions declined as participants suspected AI authorship, regardless of the text’s actual source (human, AI, or hybrid). The AIEDA model, which incorporates positive and negative anticipated emotions, proved effective in all three scenarios. Practical implications – Tourism marketers can leverage AI for content creation but should maintain human oversight. Originality/value – The study adds to communication theories and research on promotional text by deepening our understanding of algorithmic authorship and its impact on consumer behavior in tourism marketing. This study was one of the first to compare the effectiveness of human-created, AI-generated, and hybrid texts in tourism marketing, correlate respondents’ preferences toward advertising texts with texts’ suspected AI authorship, and use an extended AIEDA model. © 2025 Emerald Publishing Limited

(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.

Botulism
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2024) Dicle, Y.; Department of Basic Medical Sciences / Temel Tıp Bilimleri Bölümü; 10. Faculty of Medicine / Tıp Fakültesi; 01. Mardin Artuklu University / Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi
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.

(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.

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.
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 Üniversitesi
Background: 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.
