Article Turkish Cross-Sectional survEy of Glycemic and Other Metabolic Parameters in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in 2023: Comparison with 2018 Nationwide Data (TEMD-2 Study)(Elsevier Inc., 2026) Cetinarslan, Berrin; Gonen, Mustafa Sait; Sonmez, Alper; Akbas, Emin Murat; Cantürk, Zeynep; Haymana, Cem; Demirci, IbrahimArticle Transforming Heritage into Knowledge: A Case of Adaptive Reuse for Children in Midyat(Univ Cueca, 2026) Ergün, Ruşen; Kutlu, IzzettinA children’s library is one of the important functions provided by historical buildings for educational and cultural purposes. This study aims to evaluate the use of historical buildings as baby and children’s libraries. The historical building that was reused as the Midyat Baby and Children’s Library was examined in the study area. The suitability of the building for use as a baby and children’s library was analysed and evaluated in terms of ‘accessibility ’, ‘spatial design’, ‘interior design’, ‘technical’ and ‘building design’ criteria. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that historic buildings are suitable for use as baby and children’s libraries if they meet the correct design criteria and comply with international historical building conservation regulations. This situation not only ensures the sustainability of the historic building through its reusing but also enables children to learn about cultural heritage through experience.Article The Nexus between Climate Policy Uncertainty and Load Capacity Factor in China with the Moderating Role of Financial Development(Springer Nature, 2026) Bayar, İ̇lyas; Özbek, Sefa; Şahin, SerkanAbstract The current study explores the role of financial development and climate policy uncertainty on environmental quality in China, one of the countries with the highest levels of environmental pollution, during the period 1990—2021. This study uses the load capacity factor to indicate environmental quality, while financial development and climate policy uncertainty, energy consumption and economic growth, are considered as explanatory variables. Two different models are constructed to explore the mediating role of financial development and climate policy uncertainty on environmental quality. Analyses are performed using the A-ARDL approach and the FMOLS long-term estimator, and the DOLS analysis is utilized for robustness. The findings obtained using different approaches support each other. According to the empirical results, financial development and climate policy uncertainty reduce environmental quality in China, but improve it when the interaction variable is integrated into the model. This finding implies that the association between financial development and climate policy uncertainty can play a balancing role in ensuring environmental sustainability.Article The Mediating Role of Brand Image in the Effect of Attitudes Toward Activist Advertising on Customer Loyalty(EconJournals, 2026) Kuldaş, ErkutThis study examines the mediating role of brand image in the effect of attitudes toward activist advertising on customer loyalty. As brands increasingly take stances on social and political issues, understanding how consumers respond to activist messages has become critical for marketing strategy. Data were collected from 409 participants residing in Turkey through an online survey and analyzed using Jamovi software. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to assess the validity and reliability of the measurement scales, followed by path analysis and bootstrap-based mediation analysis. The findings reveal that advertising value and entertainment directly affect customer loyalty, while the effects of informativeness, deceptiveness, and irritation on loyalty operate indirectly through brand image. Notably, deceptiveness positively affects brand image—a finding that, contrary to the prevailing literature, may reflect how young and educated consumers interpret provocative activist messages. Brand image has a strong positive effect on customer loyalty. Mediation analysis shows that brand image significantly mediates the effects of advertising value, informativeness, deceptiveness, and entertainment on customer loyalty, while irritation has no significant mediation effect. By integrating multiple attitude dimensions within a single mediation framework, this study provides theoretical contributions to the brand activism literature and offers practical implications for marketing managers in designing effective activist advertising strategies.Article The Effect of Listening to Surah Al-Inshirah on Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Mental Well-Being in Hemodialysis Patients(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2026) Tanrverdi, Ömer; Tanrıverdi, ÖmerChronic renal failure and hemodialysis are common conditions frequently associated with psychological symptoms such as depression, anxiety, and stress, which can significantly impact patients’ quality of life and psychosocial adjustment. This quasi-experimental study investigated the effects of listening to Surah Al-Inshirah on depression, anxiety, stress, and mental well-being in hemodialysis patients. A total of 60 eligible patients were allocated to an intervention group ( n = 30) and a control group ( n = 30) according to dialysis scheduling. Patients in the intervention group listened to Surah Al-Inshirah during dialysis sessions over a 4-week period. Outcomes were assessed using the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS). The results suggested that listening to Surah Al-Inshirah may be associated with reduced symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in hemodialysis patients. Given the cultural context of the study setting, Qur’anic recitation may represent a culturally acceptable complementary intervention.Article Technology-Mediated Authenticity in Tourism and Hospitality: A Systematic Review and Conceptual Framework(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Seyitoğlu, FarukThis study presents a systematic literature review and thematic synthesis of research on technology and authenticity in tourism and hospitality. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a systematic search of the Web of Science and Scopus databases identified 141 eligible studies. The synthesis revealed four interrelated themes: authenticity as a driver of positive experiences and behaviours in technology-mediated tourism services; the role of technology in providing authentic experiences; the determinants of authentic experiences when technology is involved; and cross-cutting mechanisms linking technology, authenticity and outcomes. Moving beyond descriptive synthesis, the study develops an integrative, process-based conceptual framework and research propositions that explain how technological configurations shape authenticity across tourism and hospitality contexts. The findings advance authenticity theory by conceptualising authenticity as a dynamic, technology-mediated, and co-created process while providing a foundation for future empirical research and practical guidance for designing technology-enabled tourism and hospitality experiences.Article Sheikh Mahmud Barzanjı and the Mosul Question: Borders, Identity and Sovereignty in the Anglo-Turkish Rivalry(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Kilic, Avni; Dinc, FasihThis study examines the international dispute over the vilayet (province) of Mosul after the First World War and the role of Kurdish leader Sheikh Mahmud Barzanji in this process. The research addresses the British Empire’s strategy of maintaining control over Iraq within the scope of its colonial policies and Turkey’s counter-argument that viewed Mosul as an integral part of Anatolia. The Mosul issue, which remained unresolved in the Treaty of Lausanne, was brought before the League of Nations and became a complex matter involving conflicting ethnic, political and economic interests in the region. The study analyzes in detail how Turkey and Britain instrumentalized the Kurdish issue to maintain their dominance over Mosul and examines Sheikh Mahmud’s stance.Article Robust Fault Diagnosis of Electric Vehicle Induction Motors via Gramian Angular Field Encoding and Metaheuristic-Optimized Deep Transfer Learning(SAGE Publications Ltd, 2026) Özüpak, Yıldırım; Aslan, EmrahAims: The aim of this study is to develop and evaluate a robust fault diagnosis framework for induction motors used in electric vehicle propulsion systems. Since induction motor faults may compromise operational safety, energy efficiency, and system reliability, an accurate and interpretable diagnostic approach is required for safety-critical electric vehicle applications. Methods: This study proposes an advanced diagnostic pipeline that transforms one-dimensional time-series current and voltage signals into informative two-dimensional spatial representations using Gramian angular field encoding. This transformation preserves temporal correlations and enables effective deep feature extraction. Five pretrained convolutional neural network architectures, namely the visual geometry group 19-layer network, the 101-layer residual network, the 169-layer densely connected convolutional network, the extreme inception network, and the efficient network B5 variant, are comparatively evaluated through a transfer learning strategy. To enhance classification robustness, the nature-inspired Coati optimization algorithm is integrated to optimize deep feature selection and weighting. Results: The proposed framework was tested on a multi-fault induction motor dataset including normal operation, overload fault, overvoltage fault, phase-to-ground fault, phase-to-phase fault, and undervoltage fault conditions. The experimental results show that the DenseNet169–Coati optimization algorithm model achieves the best performance, with an accuracy of 97.22%, a precision of 97.62%, and a macro area under the curve of 98.80%. Furthermore, gradient-weighted class activation mapping analysis confirms that the model focuses on physically meaningful signal regions. Conclusion: The proposed Gramian angular field-encoded and Coati optimization algorithm-optimized transfer learning framework provides an accurate, interpretable, and computationally feasible solution for induction motor fault diagnosis in electric vehicle applications.Article Relationship between Acute Coronary Syndrome and Coronavirus Disease 2019 Infection and Vaccination Type: A Retrospective Observational Study(BMC, 2026) Gökdemir, Gül Şahika; Gökdemir, Mehmet TahirBACKGROUND: Studies have reported that the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine causes other serious health problems, including myocarditis, pericarditis, neurological problems, and problems resulting from the reactivation of chronic infections. There are no satisfactory studies on the relationship between late-stage COVID-19 disease and cardiovascular diseases, or even Acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Our study primarily aimed to compare the frequency of emergency department (ED) visits and mortality rates of patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) before and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondly, we aimed to evaluate differences in demographic and laboratory characteristics between pre-pandemic and post-pandemic ACS patients. Finally, we aimed to investigate the association between COVID-19 vaccination status (unvaccinated, inactivated vaccine, and mRNA vaccine) and mortality outcomes in post-pandemic ACS patients. METHODS: Data from 1,856 patients over the age of 18 diagnosed with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), and unstable angina pectoris (USAP) in 2023, post-pandemic, and 1,450 patients diagnosed in 2018, pre-pandemic, were analyzed. The incidence of ACS before and after the pandemic, its relationship with the presence of viral vector-based vaccination and mRNA vaccination, and demographic and laboratory results were retrospectively examined. RESULTS: Although the number of emergency department visits nearly doubled after the pandemic, mortality rates were similar (P = 0.595). Troponin I (P < 0.001), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) (P < 0.001), and prothrombin time (PT) (P = 0.016) levels were significantly increased in post-pandemic patients. Univariable analysis showed that being unvaccinated was associated with 2.88-fold higher odds of mortality (95% CI: 1.23-6.70), while in the multivariable analysis this association remained significant with 3.77-fold higher odds (95% CI: 1.04-13.65) (p = 0.014 and p = 0.043). Inactivated vaccine [OR 0.60 (95% CI: 0.36-1.01) and p = 0.054] and mRNA vaccine [OR 1.42 (95% CI: 0.85-2.36) and p = 0.177] did not have a significant effect on mortality. CONCLUSIONS: Post-pandemic mortality rates were similar to those before the pandemic. Being unvaccinated was found to be a significant associated with higher mortality. Vaccination type did not affect mortality. Cardiac and inflammatory marker levels were increased in post-pandemic ACS patients compared to pre-pandemic ACS patients.Article Protective Effects of P-Coumaric Acid against Lead-Induced Hepatic Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Apoptosis: Integrated Molecular and Machine Learning-Based Analysis(Elsevier, 2026) Alhilal, Mohammad; Bozkurt, İlyas; Bolat, Smail; Karaarslan, Tuba; Demir, Yeliz; Bozkurt, Lyas; Halici, Mesut Bunyami; Bolat, İsmailLead (Pb) exposure is a major environmental health concern that induces hepatic injury through oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. This study evaluated the hepatoprotective effects of p-coumaric acid (PCA), a phenolic compound, against Pb-induced liver toxicity using integrated molecular and machine-learning approaches. Male rats were allocated into experimental groups and exposed to Pb-acetate (30 mg/kg), while PCA was orally administered at 50 and 100 mg/kg for 14 days. A dataset consisting of 30 adult male rats (n = 6 per group) was analyzed using biochemical, molecular, inflammatory, and histopathological parameters. Oxidative stress markers, antioxidant and apoptotic gene expression, inflammatory protein expression, and liver tissue alterations were assessed. In addition, principal component analysis (PC analysis), correlation heatmap analysis, and Random Forest-based SHAP (Shapley Additive Explanations) analysis were applied to identify key biomarkers associated with Pb toxicity and PCA-mediated protection. Pb exposure caused a pronounced oxidative imbalance, evidenced by significant depletion of antioxidant defenses, including reduced glutathione (GSH) (p < 0.001), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) (p < 0.001), and catalase (Cat) gene expressions (p < 0.001), together with increased malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (p < 0.001). Pb also up-regulated Bax and Casp3 (p < 0.001), down-regulated Bcl-2 (p < 0.01), and activated NF-kappa B, IL-1 beta, TNF-alpha, IL-6, and COX-2 (p < 0.001). Histopathology confirmed severe hepatocellular degeneration and necrosis. PCA treatment attenuated these alterations in a dose-dependent manner, with 100 mg/kg showing the strongest protection (p < 0.05). Overall, PCA alleviates Pb-induced hepatotoxicity by restoring antioxidant defenses, suppressing inflammatory signalling, and inhibiting mitochondrial apoptotic pathways.
