The Conflict of Balances in the Mediterranean Region and Its Repercussions on the Map of the Ottoman-European Conflict in North Africa in the 19th Century
(Creative Publishing House, 2025) Şerifoğlu, M.; Meshref, A.
This paper explores the imperialist expansion in the Mediterranean basin and its influence on the Ottoman-European conflict map in North Africa during the 19th century. This era marked significant Western imperialist growth across the Mediterranean and Ottoman territories. North Africa became a key battleground where the Ottoman Empire clashed with European powers competing for colonies in the region. Following the Berlin Conference of 1878, the Ottoman Empire recognized the strategic importance of North Africa in resisting European colonial ambitions, particularly their efforts to access Central Africa's resources by exploiting Ottoman territories. European nations, while united in their imperialist goals, competed fiercely due to divergent interests, leading to international conflicts and shifts in regional balances. This research aims to analyze the nature and background of imperialist expansion in the Medi terranean and its implications for the Ottoman-European conflict. Using a methodology combining deconstruction, historical analysis, and comparative studies, the research draws on Ottoman documents, newspapers, and a range of Turkish, Arab, and Western sources for an objective examination. The findings highlight two key conclusions: first, the imperialist expansion in the Mediterranean was deeply rooted in crusading colonial motives aimed at controlling global resources; second, North Africa played a pivotal role in shaping regional and international dynamics in the late 19th century. © 2025, J.

Evaluation of Measles Cases in a Province in South-Eastern Turkey Receiving Migration From Syria
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Orhan, Ö.; Solmaz, M.; Talay, M.N.
Aim: The study aimed to compare the demographic, clinical and vaccination status of measles cases in 2023 in our region receiving migration from Syria and to evaluate the effect of migration on disease dynamics. Methods: This retrospective study analysed the demographic profiles, clinical features and vaccination status of a total of 98 (67 children born and raised in Turkey [group 1] and 31 children of Syrian origin [group 2]) clinically compatible measles patients presenting to all healthcare institutions in Batman, Turkey, in 2023. Results: Significant differences were observed between groups in vaccination coverage (90.3% unvaccinated amongst Group 2 vs. 55.2% amongst Group 1, p < 0.001), IgM positivity (87.1% vs. 26.9%, p < 0.001) and hospitalisation rates (38.7% vs.16.4%, p = 0.015). Group 2 exhibited higher prevalence of fever (93.5% vs. 70.1%, p = 0.010) and cough (58.1% vs. 26.9%, p = 0.003) than Group 1. Conclusion: The study highlights the impact of migration and socio-economic factors on measles dynamics. Lower vaccination rates amongst Syrian migrants contribute to increased measles incidence and severity. Strengthening vaccination programmes and public health initiatives are crucial for controlling measles outbreaks and improving health outcomes, particularly in vulnerable populations. © 2025 Foundation Acta Paediatrica.

Adaptation of the Employee Spirituality Scale Into Turkish: a Study on Healthcare Workers
(Halil Eksi, 2025) Apak, H.
This study aimed to adapt the Employee Spirituality Scale to Turkish culture for healthcare professionals. A total of 230 healthcare workers participated in the adaptation of the scale, which comprises 24 items. The research data were collected face-to-face with a questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, the Employee Spirituality Scale, and the Spiritual Orientation Scale. Construct validity was analyzed using exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. The two-factor structure of the Employee Spirituality Scale was confirmed in the Turkish sample and showed acceptable fit values. Because of CFA, 2 items were removed from the scale because they did not fit. For criterion validity, the Pearson Correlation Coefficient between the scale and the Spiritual Orientation Scale was calculated, and a significant positive result was obtained. This study demonstrated that the Turkish version of the Employee Spirituality Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for health care workers to assess the various dimensions of human spirituality that give individuals a sense of guidance, facilitate finding meaning and purpose in one’s tasks, enable them to overcome their weaknesses and limitations in the workplace, and assess various dimensions of human spirituality as a relationship with a higher power. © 2025 by Author(s).
Development of Malaria Diagnosis With Convolutional Neural Network Architectures: a Cnn-Based Software for Accurate Cell Image Analysis
(Galileo Institute of Technology and Education of the Amazon (ITEGAM), 2025) Aslan, E.
This study emphasizes that early diagnosis and treatment of malaria is critical in reducing health problems and mortality from the disease, especially in developing countries where the disease is prevalent. Malaria is a potentially fatal disease transmitted to humans by mosquitoes infected by a blood parasite called Plasmodium. The traditional method of diagnosis relies on experts examining red blood cells under a microscope and is inefficient as it is dependent on expert knowledge and experience. Nowadays, machine learning methods that provide high accuracy are increasingly used in disease detection. In this paper, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture is proposed to distinguish between parasitized and non-parasitized cells. In addition, the performance of the proposed CNN architecture is compared to pre-trained CNN models such as VGG-19 and EfficientNetB3. The studies were carried out using the Malaria Dataset supplied by the National Institute of Health (NIH), and our proposed architecture was shown to function with 99.12% accuracy. The results of the study reveal that it is effective in improving the accuracy of cell images containing Plasmodium. In addition, a software that predicts whether cell images are noisy or not has been developed. © 2025 by authors and Galileo Institute of Technology and Education of the Amazon (ITEGAM).
The Role of Thiol/Disulfide Homeostasis in Unexplained Primary Infertile Patients: a Prospective Cohort Study
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2025) Aksin, Ş.; Yilmaz, M.
Background: Our study aims to investigate whether there is a relationship by measuring the total oxidant/antioxidant load with the thiol/disulfide method in patients with unexplained infertility. Methods: A total of 82 participants were enrolled, consisting of 41 women with unexplained infertility and 41 fertile controls matched for age and body mass index (BMI). Hormonal profiles, including follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E2), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin, were assessed using the chemiluminescence immunoassay method. Thiol/disulfide homeostasis was evaluated using a validated automated spectrophotometric method, which measured native thiol (NT), total thiol (TT), and disulfide levels. Detailed quality control measures ensured the reliability of the results. Results: In the study, no significant difference was found between the infertile and fertile groups' demographic (age) and clinical variables in terms of height, weight, BMI, FSH, LH, E2, TSH, prolactin, antral follicle count, TT, NT, and disulfide values (P > .05). The rates were found to be greater in the infertile group in disulfide/NT ratio and disulfide/TT ratio compared to the fertile group, even though there was no statistically significant difference between the groups' disulfide/NT ratio, disulfide/TT ratio, and NT/TT ratio values. The fertile group, however, had a higher NT/TT ratio rate. Conclusion: Although the unexplained infertility and fertile groups in the study did not differ in serum thiol and disulfide levels, the infertile group was found to have a relatively high disulfide/thiol ratio. More prospective studies on thiol/disulfide balance related to unexplained infertility may help to understand the relationship. © 2025 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.

The Role of Self-Compassion in the Relationship of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder With Posttraumatic Growth in Kahramanmaraş Earthquakes Survivors: a Year on
(Springer, 2025) Çağış, Z.G.; Akçe, İ.
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) are two common posttraumatic reactions that may co-exist in individuals exposed to or witnessing an earthquake. There are a limited number of studies examining some mediating variables, such as self-efficacy and resilience in the relationship between PTSD and PTG in individuals exposed to traumatic experiences. However, these studies were not carried out with earthquake survivors, and self-compassion was not considered as a mediating variable. Therefore, in order to close this gap in the literature, the current study aims to reveal the mediating role of self-compassion in the relationship between PTSD and PTG in Kahramanmaraş earthquakes survivors. The data of the study were collected from 317 survivors of the February 6 earthquakes in Turkey (78.2% females), aged 18 and 52 (Mean = 24.12 ± 6.28). The results have indicated that PTSD was negatively correlated with self-compassion, whereas positively correlated with PTG. Self-compassion was found to be positively associated with PTG. More importantly, the findings have also revealed the mediating effect of self-compassion in the relationship between PTSD and PTG after controlling for gender, age, educational level, and marital status. The findings shed light on our understanding that self-compassion may not only play a protective role against the negative consequences of traumatic events, but also may be an effective mechanism in the transformation of PTSD into PTG. Moreover, the findings of the study have suggested that focusing on self-compassion may be functional for intervention programs aiming to prevent PTSD symptoms and increase PTG in earthquake victims. © The Author(s) 2025.
Psychological Resilience and Trait Anxiety as Mediators in the Relationship Between Perceived Family Social Support and Life Satisfaction Among Youth
(Routledge, 2025) Koçak, O.; Aslan, Y.; Bezirkan, H.S.
Purpose: This study examines the impact of perceived family social support on youth life satisfaction, focusing on the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional quantitative research design was employed, collecting data from 626 participants via an online survey. A convenience sampling method was used. Analyses, including confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) path analysis, were conducted using SPSS 24 and AMOS 24 software Results: The findings indicate that perceived family social support positively influences psychological resilience and life satisfaction while reducing trait anxiety. Psychological resilience lowers trait anxiety; however, its direct effect on life satisfaction is insignificant. Trait anxiety, on the other hand, negatively affects life satisfaction and acts as a mediator between perceived family social support and life satisfaction. Additionally, psychological resilience plays an indirect role in the effect of perceived family social support on life satisfaction through trait anxiety. Discussion: The results suggest that perceived family support enhances resilience and reduces anxiety among youth, contributing to greater life satisfaction. These findings underscore the complex interplay between these variables and highlight the mediating roles of psychological resilience and trait anxiety. Conclusion: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that perceived family support enhances life satisfaction by strengthening psychological resilience and reducing trait anxiety. In addition, the study emphasizes the importance of fostering family-based support systems to promote youth well-being. © 2025 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
A Worker’s Suicide as the Collapse of Masculinity: The Analysis of The Movie "My Father's Wings”
(Hipatia Editorial, 2025) Çınar, S.
My Father's Wings by Kıvanç Sezer (2016) shows us how loneliness and desperation are experienced, based on a case of a Turkish construction worker. This article analyzes the film My Father's Wings using the film sociology methodology and focusing on gender and the approach of the Turkish cinema industry that has emphasized emotions after the 2000s. The intertwined experiences of masculinity crisis and being a worker are discussed by articulating Turkish cinema and Turkey's social and political dynamics in the analysis of the film. Based on the film, the collapse of the two pillars on which masculinity is built as the head of the family and the master worker and individualization in the working class and society in general are discussed within the political and social atmosphere that resulted in everyone's withdrawal to their own world. © 2025, Hipatia Editorial.

Factors Affect Progressive Sperm Motility
(Permanyer Publications, 2025) Sagir, S.; Tunçekin, A.
Objective: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of age, body mass index, and diet factors on sperm parameters and developing a novel index (Artuklu Sperm Quality Index [ASQI]). Method: The study incorporated a total of 115 patients who sought medical attention due to infertility and underwent semen analysis (spermiogram). The ASQI score was developed. Results: About 73% reported eating three meals daily, while 62% consume fruits a few times a week. When considering grain consumption, 30% rarely do, mirroring the 25% who never do. Carbonated drinks are consumed a few times in 15 days by 39% of respondents. Salt consumption showed 47% taking very little, whereas 42% consume caffeine very minimally. Sausage/ salami is minimally consumed by 44%, and 32% of participants reported never being exposed to air pollution. ASQI score ranges from 6 to 61 point. A lower score indicates good nutrition and quality of life, while a higher score suggests deteriorating nutrition and increasing unhealthy habits. Cronbach alfa value was noted as 0.72. A negative correlation was found between ASQI and sperm progressive motility (p < 0.001, r = −0.405). Conclusions: This study revealed a clear negative correlation between the ASQI score, which signifies deteriorating nutrition and escalating unhealthy habits, and sperm progressive motility. © 2024 Academia Mexicana de Cirugía.
Association Between Abo Blood Group, Peripheral Artery Disease Lesion Severity, and Coronary Artery Disease Coexistence
(Elsevier Inc., 2025) Evsen, A.; Aktan, A.; Kılıç, R.; Özbek, M.
Background: This study aims to investigate the relationship between ABO blood groups and the severity of peripheral artery disease (PAD) lesions, the coexistence of coronary artery disease (CAD) with PAD, and to identify which blood groups may be more predisposed to these conditions. Methods: This study, which has a single-center and retrospective design, includes 305 patients diagnosed with peripheral artery disease (PAD) between 2015 and 2021. The patients were selected from those with at least 50% stenosis detected by computed tomography (CT) angiography. The severity of PAD lesions was evaluated according to the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC-II) classification, and the presence of CAD was determined by simultaneous conventional coronary angiography. Demographic data, comorbidities, and laboratory results were collected, and statistical analyses were performed using chi-square tests, logistic regression, and t-tests. All of these patients were divided into 2 groups based on their ABO blood types: O and non-O blood groups. Results: This study demonstrates a significant relationship between blood group classification and both the severity of PAD and the prevalence of CAD. Patients with non-O blood groups exhibited a higher likelihood of having severe PAD lesions (TASC-C and TASC-D) compared to those with O blood groups, who more frequently had milder lesions (TASC-A and TASC-B) (P < 0.001). The prevalence of CAD was also significantly higher among patients with non-O blood groups than those with the O blood group (54.4% vs. 36.4%; P = 0.003). In the logistic regression analysis, non-O blood groups, alongside age, hypertension (HT), and chronic kidney disease (CKD), emerged as independent predictors of severe PAD (P < 0.001 for non-O blood groups). Similarly, older age and non-O blood group status were identified as significant independent predictors of CAD (P = 0.004). These findings suggest that blood group classification, particularly non-O groups, may influence the severity and coexistence of PAD and CAD. Conclusion: Our study reveals a significant association between ABO blood groups and both the severity of PAD and the association of CAD, and shows that non-O blood groups are linked to more severe forms of these conditions. These findings highlight the potential role of ABO blood groups in cardiovascular risk stratification, suggesting a need for further research to confirm these associations and understand their clinical implications. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.
Ascorbic Acid Exhibits More of a Protective Effect Than Estradiol Against Nephrotoxicity Induced by Malathion in Rats: a Histopathological and Molecular Docking Study
(TUBITAK, 2025) Alhilal, M.; Elsayed Mohamed Salem, M.; Ali Albakoush, A.; Alhilal, S.; Farag, B.; Gomha, S.M.
Background/aim: Despite the known harmful effects associated with malathion toxicity in various organs, it continues to be widely used for plant protection and insect control. This study is the first to compare the protective effects of estradiol and ascorbic acid against malathion-induced nephrotoxicity through histopathological assessment and molecular docking analyses. Materials and methods: This study was conducted using 20 female albino rats that were distributed into sham, malathion, malathion + estradiol, and malathion + ascorbic acid groups. Nephrotoxicity was induced by daily treatment with malathion and the effects of estradiol and ascorbic on nephrotoxicity were evaluated. After 4 weeks of treatment, the animals were sacrificed and the kidneys were examined following hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining. Histopathology results were supported by molecular docking studies of estradiol and ascorbic acid against a target protein (PDB ID: 2YMX), the peptide inhibitor Fab408 inhibiting acetylcholinesterase (AChE). The inhibition of AChE is the primary mechanism of the toxic effects of malathion. Results: Histopathological examination revealed a notable elevation (p < 0.001) in degeneration and necrosis within the tubular epithelium and interstitial nephritis in the malathion group compared to the sham group. Daily administration of estradiol and ascorbic acid resulted in a notable reduction (p = 0.0022) in the severity of these histopathological changes in the malathion + estradiol and malathion + ascorbic acid groups compared to the malathion group. Of these, the most significant decreases were observed in the malathion + ascorbic acid group. Docking studies of these compounds against the selected protein (PDB ID: 2YMX) revealed promising binding scores. Ascorbic acid exhibited the highest docking score (–6.44 kcal/mol), indicating a favorable binding interaction with this protein. Conclusion: Estradiol and ascorbic acid exert protective effects against malathion-induced nephrotoxicity, whereas ascorbic acid showed superior efficacy compared to estradiol. This result was further supported by molecular docking studies. © TÜBİTAK.
Comparison of Machine Learning Algorithms for Automatic Prediction of Alzheimer Disease
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2025) Aslan, E.; Özüpak, Y.
Background: Alzheimer disease is a progressive neurological disorder marked by irreversible memory loss and cognitive decline. Traditional diagnostic tools, such as intracranial volume assessments, electroencephalography (EEG) signals, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have shown utility in detecting the disease. However, artificial intelligence (AI) offers promise for automating this process, potentially enhancing diagnostic accuracy and accessibility. Methods: In this study, various machine learning models were used to detect Alzheimer disease, including K-nearest neighbor regression, support vector machines (SVM), AdaBoost regression, and logistic regression. A neural network was constructed and validated using data from 150 participants in the University of Washington's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (Open Access Imaging Studies Series [OASIS] dataset). Cross-validation was also performed on the Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) dataset to assess the robustness of the models. Results: Among the models tested, K-nearest neighbor regression achieved the highest accuracy, reaching 97.33%. The cross-validation on the ADNI dataset further confirmed the effectiveness of the models, demonstrating satisfactory results in screening and diagnosing Alzheimer disease in a community-based sample. Conclusion: The findings indicate that AI-based models, particularly K-nearest neighbor regression, provide promising accuracy for the early detection of Alzheimer disease. This approach has potential for further development into practical diagnostic tools that could be applied in clinical and community settings. © 2024, the Chinese Medical Association.

Networks of Relationships of the City Notables in the Ottoman Sharia Court: “Muzakkis, Shuhûd Al-Hal and Muslihun”
(Creative Publishing House, 2025) Akman, E.
In Ottoman urban life, the judge and the sharia court Formed the center of social networks. In the functioning of the sharia court, testimony of the witnesses is the foundation of the judicial procedure. Aside of the witnesses of the incident, there is also a class referred to as the notables(eşraf), who are known by different names, consisting of the city's respected and upright Muslims known for the sharia court. These are the classes called just witnesses(adil şahitlar), validators (muzakkiler), witnesses of the incident (şühûdu'l-hal) and mediators (muslihun), who are included in the records during the trial process. This class, defined in the records as the peomin Figures of the city (vücuh), the respected of the realm(muteberân-I memleket), and the arbiters of the town, constitutes the court’s social periphery. The subject of the article is to trace the class seen in the records with their roles in the sharia trial processes, which are at the center of urban social life in the Ottoman/Islamic city. These are the civil mediators, those who take part in the investigation of the witnesses, and the respected part of the city who participate in the process by signing the verdict in the role of spectators in the court. Examining The status and relations of this social class, called the arbiters or notables in the Ottoman city from the perspective of the court environment, are important in terms of urban studies. The article investigates the identities of the mentioned class-muzekkiler, şühûdu'l-hal and muslihun-, their status in society, and their roles in the court and in the trial process. The sharia records were used as the main source in the study. In the context of the records scanned as primary sources, it was aimed to reveal the duties or roles of the mentioned social class in the court, their relations with the judge and the court, and their position and status in the urban social life of the city. © 2025, Creative Publishing House.

Evaluation of management of Ureteroceles in our Clinic: 8 years of Experience
(Permanyer Publications, 2025) Bayram, S.; Aydoğdu, B.; Okur, M.H.; Önen, A.; Bilici, S.; Basuguy, E.; Arslan, S.
Objective: We aimed to investigate patients who were managed and followed up in our clinic for ureteroceles. Method: We retrospectively analyzed 52 patients’ records with ureterocele diagnoses who were treated at the Pediatric Surgery Clinic of the Medical School of Dicle University between January 2009 and December 2017. Results: Of the patients 29 were female and 23 were male. Thirty-six patients had left-sided ureteroceles, 12 had right-sided ureteroceles, and four had bilateral ureteroceles. Thirty-three were intravesical and 19 were ectopically located. Twenty-seven were on a duplex system. Ureterocele was diagnosed antenatally in 12 patients and 21 in the first 6 months of the post-natal period. Ultrasonography was the most common diagnostic method. Urinary infection was the most frequent symptom (38.4%). Except for a patient who received conservative follow-up, all ureteroceles were decompressed. Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), urinary tract infection (UTI), and renal scarring were all significantly higher in patients with the duplex system. Significantly decreased UTI rates were observed in early-diagnosed patients (p = 0.04). Conclusion: Ureterocele is still a challenging problem due to the high risk of UTI, VUR, and renal scarring. Endoscopic decompression is the most preferable intervention for ureteroceles. UTI and renal scarring could be decreased with early detection and treatment. © 2023 Academia Mexicana de Cirugía.
Molecular Screening of Septoria-Resistant Genes in Historical Turkish Bread Wheat Germplasm Using the Validated Gene Specific Ssr Markers
(TUBITAK, 2025) Ali, A.; Ölmez, F.; Tatar, M.; Mortazavi, P.; Altaf, M.T.; Turgay, E.B.; Baloch, F.S.
Septoria tritici blotch (STB), caused by Zymoseptoria tritici, poses a significant threat to global wheat production, particularly in Türkiye. Resistance breeding is the most sustainable and effective disease control method. Molecular markers, especially simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers are extensively employed in wheat breeding to enhance the efficacy. The primary objective of this study was to identify Stb resistance genes among 143 historical registered Turkish bread wheat genotypes released as commercial cultivars between 1963 to 2014, using 16 closely linked SSR markers. The findings revealed substantial genetic variation among the screened cultivars, with the Stb3 gene being the most prevalent, identified in 89.51% of the samples. Other notable resistant genes included Stb13 (71.32%), Stb4 (43.33%), and Stb11 (41.25%). Cultivars Porsuk-2811, Porsuk-2853, and Porsuk-2868 exhibited the highest level of resistance to STB, with 10 resistance genes detected. Of the 143 cultivars screened, 10 were found to carry a total of nine Stb genes, while two cultivars were observed to possess only a single resistance gene. The study identified 23 wheat cultivars harboring 8–10 Stb resistance genes, which are highly recommended for future wheat breeding programs and gene pyramiding strategies to combat Z. tritici. This research provides critical insights for national breeding programs, supporting the development of resilient and high-yielding wheat varieties resistant to STB. © 2025, TUBITAK.

Attention Enhanced Inceptionnext-Based Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Lung Cancer Detection
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2025) Ozdemir, B.; Aslan, E.; Pacal, I.
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality globally. Early diagnosis of this highly fatal and prevalent disease can significantly improve survival rates and prevent its progression. Computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard imaging modality for lung cancer diagnosis, offering critical insights into the assessment of lung nodules. We present a hybrid deep learning model that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with Vision Transformers (ViTs). By optimizing and integrating grid and block attention mechanisms with InceptionNeXt blocks, the proposed model effectively captures both fine-grained and large-scale features in CT images. This comprehensive approach enables the model not only to differentiate between malignant and benign nodules but also to identify specific cancer subtypes such as adenocarcinoma, large cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. The use of InceptionNeXt blocks facilitates multi-scale feature processing, making the model particularly effective for complex and diverse lung nodule patterns. Similarly, including grid attention improves the model's capacity to identify spatial relationships across different sections of the picture, whereas block attention focuses on capturing hierarchical and contextual information, allowing for precise identification and categorization of lung nodules. To ensure robustness and generalizability, the model was trained and validated using two public datasets, Chest CT and IQ-OTH/NCCD, employing transfer learning and pre-processing techniques to improve detection accuracy. The proposed model achieved an impressive accuracy of 99.54% on the IQ-OTH/NCCD dataset and 98.41% on the Chest CT dataset, outperforming state-of-the-art CNN-based and ViT-based methods. With only 18.1 million parameters, the model provides a lightweight yet powerful solution for early lung cancer detection, potentially improving clinical outcomes and increasing patient survival rates. © 2013 IEEE.
