Validity and Reliability of the Arabic Version of the Sexual Health Literacy Scale in Young Syrian Refugees
(BMC, 2026) Yesil, Yesim; Apak, Hidir
The sexual health literacy of young refugees has not been investigated in detail due to the lack of a sufficient assessment tool in the literature. This study aims to perform validity and reliability analysis of the Arabic version of the Sexual Health Literacy Scale (SHLS) in a sample consisting of young Syrian refugee university students. This methodological study was conducted in December 2023 with 191 young Syrian refugee students at a university in XXX, XXX. Content validity of the scale was assessed in three stages: translation, back translation, and cultural adaptation. Besides, construct validity was evaluated with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and internal consistency reliability with Cronbach's Alpha coefficient and total item correlation. CFA demonstrated that the Arabic version of the SHLS had two sub-dimensions and 16 items. Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was 0.85, indicating the scale was reliable. Male participants studying in health-related departments, aware of sexual health literacy, educated on sexual health, and confident in their knowledge scored significantly higher on the scale. This is the first study investigating the SHLS's validity and reliability in young refugees. Given its acceptable validity and reliability, further research is needed in diverse, broader samples to clarify its applicability in different settings.
Towards a Better Understanding of Commonly Used Medicinal Plants from Turkiye: Detailed Phytochemical Screening and Biological Activity Studies of Two Teucrium L. Species with in Vitro and in Silico Approach
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2023) Ersoy, Ezgi; Boga, Mehmet; Tuncay, Evin Ayguen; Eroğlu Özkan, Esra; Aygün Tuncay, Evin; Ercan, Selami; Ozkan, Esra Eroglu; Suvari, Goncagul; Karahan, Selim
Ethnopharmacological relevance: Since ancient times, Teucrium L. species have been among the most commonly used traditional medicinal plants mainly in the Mediterranean region. From tackling gastrointestinal problems to maintaining the healthy functioning of endocrine glands, and from treating malaria to severe dermatological disorders, Teucrium species are known to have extensive therapeutic applications. Teucrium polium L. and Teucrium parviflorum Schreb. are the two members of the genus that have been used in Turkish folk medicine for various medicinal purposes.Aim of the study: To determine the phytochemical compositions of the essential oils and ethanol extracts of Teucrium polium and Teucrium parviflorum collected from different locations in Turkiye along with the investi-gation of in vitro antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial activities, and both in vitro and in silico enzyme inhibitory activities of the extracts.Materials and methods: Ethanol extracts of Teucrium polium aerial parts and roots, and aerial parts of Teucrium parviflorum were prepared. Volatile profiling of the essential oils by GC-MS, phytochemical profiling of the ethanol extracts by LC-HRMS, antioxidant activity by DPPH radical scavenging, ABTS cation radical scavenging, CUPRAC, and metal chelating activity assays, anticholinesterase, antityrosinase, antiurease, activities by different enzyme inhibitory activity assays, anticancer activity by SRB cell viability assay, and antimicrobial activity against a standard panel of bacteria and fungi by the microbroth dilution technique. Molecular docking studies were performed by Autodock Vina (Ver. 1.1.2). Results: The studied extracts were found to be quite rich in various biologically important volatile and phenolic compounds. (-)-Epigallocatechin gallate, which is a molecule renowned for having great therapeutic potential, was the major compound of all extracts. Teucrium polium aerial parts extract was revealed as a great source for naringenin with 16327 +/- 685.23 mu g/g extract. All extracts exerted significant antioxidant activity by different methods. All ex-tracts demonstrated antibutrylcholinesterase, antityrosinase, and antiurease activities by in vitro and in silico assays. Teucrium polium roots extract stood out with remarkable tyrosinase and urease inhibitory and cytotoxic activities.Conclusion: The obtained results from this multi-disciplinary study proves that the traditional use of these two Teucrium species is justified, and the mechanisms behind are enlightened.
Tissue Type and Cultivar-by-Isolate Interactions Govern Walnut (Juglans Regia) Resistance to Diaporthe Eres in Türkiye
(Academic Press Ltd- Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Orman, Erdal; Ozer, Goksel; Polat, Zuhtu; Dervis, Sibel; Turkkan, Muharrem; Gultekin, Mehmet Akif
Diaporthe eres is increasingly reported as a causal agent of canker, shoot dieback, and fruit rot of walnut (Juglans regia L.) in diverse production regions. In this study, multi-locus phylogenetic analysis using ITS, tef1, and tub2 gene sequences confirmed that two isolates, ED 5/4 (Edirne) and BUR 7/4 (Bursa), belong to D. eres sensu stricto, showing 99-100% sequence identity with ex-type strain AR5193 in BLASTn analysis and clustering with high bootstrap support in Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic trees. Pathogenicity assays conducted on green fruits, current-season shoots, and one-year-old dormant branches of seven cultivars revealed strong and statistically significant cultivar & times; isolate interactions, demonstrating that resistance responses were highly isolate-specific. Isolate BUR 7/4 displayed higher virulence overall than ED 5/4. Lesion development differed markedly among tissue types, with current-season shoots consistently exhibiting substantially greater necrosis than oneyear-old dormant branches, indicating a pronounced influence of tissue ontogeny on host susceptibility. Cultivar performance varied among tissues: 'Chandler' showed the greatest resistance in woody tissues, whereas 'Fernor' and 'Orman 77 ' were consistently susceptible. Fruit assays demonstrated variable husk susceptibility but uniformly severe, cultivar-independent kernel decay, indicating the absence of internal resistance once the husk barrier was breached. D. eres was re-isolated from all symptomatic tissues while controls remained healthy, fulfilling Koch's postulates. These results establish D. eres as an important contributor to walnut canker and fruit rot in Türkiye and emphasize the roles of tissue-specific susceptibility, isolate diversity, and cultivar-dependent responses in shaping disease outcomes and informing resistance-based management strategies.
The Transcript of a Long Story: A Critical Analysis of Eurocentric Prejudices in Turkey’s European Union Membership Process
(Scientific Scholar LLC, 2025) Birkan, Onur
Turkey's European Union (EU) membership process has long been knotted in identity-based discussions that frame Turkey as an outsider, reinforcing the perception that it poses a cultural and political challenge to European unity. This study critically examines the role of Orientalist narratives in shaping the EU's approach to Turkey's membership, arguing that Turkey's exclusion is not merely a result of political or economic misalignment but is deeply rooted in Eurocentric prejudices. Drawing on Edward Said's Orientalism (1978), this paper explores how the concept of Europeanization extends beyond institutional alignment (EUization) to include implicit cultural and civilizational boundaries. The study employed a qualitative, interpretative methodology to analyze the EU's lengthy strategies and policy frameworks that construct Turkey as the Other. It further investigates how Orientalist tropes manifest in debates surrounding Turkey's geopolitical position, religious identity, and democratic credentials, affecting the EU's inconsistent application of membership criteria. The findings reveal that the EU's reluctance to integrate Turkey stems from an exclusionary European identity that prioritizes ethno-religious homogeneity over pluralism. Furthermore, mechanisms such as the privileged partnership model and discourse on the EU's absorption capacity reflect an Orientalist mindset that seeks to control rather than integrate Turkey. By uncovering these underlying biases, this study contributes to broader discussions on European identity, integration policies, and the persistence of Orientalist thought in contemporary political discourse.
The Thematic and Rhetorical Transformation of ’Asabiyya in Early Islamic Poetry
(MDPI, 2026) Aslan, Ramazan; Araz, Ismail
Classical Arabic poetry played a powerful social role in Arab society, particularly during the J & amacr;hiliyya (pre-Islamic) period, due to its high level of eloquence (fas & amacr;ha) and bal & amacr;gha. Within this poetic tradition-shaped around themes such as heroism (ham & amacr;sah), boasting (fakhr), satire (hij & amacr;'), and love (tashb & imacr;b)-'asabiyya occupied a central position as a means of constructing and preserving tribal identity through language. Poets exalted their own tribes and disparaged rival ones by employing persuasive and emotionally charged expression. With the revelation of the Qur'an in 610 CE, this literary and cultural heritage, grounded in aesthetic and expressive power, was reconfigured within a new religious framework. The Qur'an's challenge-oriented discourse entered into direct interaction with existing poetic sensibilities. Against this background, the present study examines the transformation of 'asabiyya in classical Arabic poetry during the early Islamic period. It offers a comparative analysis of lineage-centered 'asabiyya in J & amacr;hiliyya poetry and the emergence of an ummah-centered discourse of unity in Islamic poetry, drawing on poems by different poets from both periods. Using content analysis, rhetorical text analysis, and inductive methods, the study demonstrates that the Qur'an's influence on Arabic poetry was neither uniform nor one-dimensional but significantly shaped poetic themes and authorial attitudes. By focusing on 'asabiyya, the article aims to contribute to a renewed understanding of the Qur'an-poetry relationship in early Islam.
The Relationship between Maternal Health Literacy and Knowledge and Attitudes about Newborn Screenings in Different Ethnic Groups
(BMC, 2026) Kacan, Havva; Butun, Ahmet; Deger, Vasfiye Bayram
Introduction Newborn screening (NBS) programs play a crucial role in early diagnosis and prevention of neonatal morbidity and mortality. Maternal health literacy is a key factor influencing mothers' understanding, perceptions, and engagement with these programs. Ethnic disparities in health literacy and knowledge may affect equitable access and adherence. This study aimed to examine the relationship between maternal health literacy and mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding newborn screenings across three ethnic groups, Turkish, Arab, and Kurdish, in the multicultural city of Mardin, Turkey. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 568 mothers (189 Turkish, 189 Arab, 190 Kurdish) who had children aged 0-1 years. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews between March and June 2025 using a socio-demographic form, the Maternal Knowledge and Attitudes about Newborn Screening Survey (MKANSS), and the Turkey Health Literacy Scale-32. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlations, and linear regression. Results Significant ethnic differences were identified in maternal health literacy and NBS-related knowledge and attitudes. Turkish mothers demonstrated the highest health literacy scores, followed by Kurdish and Arab mothers. Similarly, Turkish mothers scored significantly higher on all MKANSS sub-dimensions compared with Arab and Kurdish mothers. Health literacy was strongly correlated with total NBS knowledge-attitude scores in the Turkish group, moderately in the Kurdish group, and weakly in the Arab group. Regression analyses showed that health literacy significantly predicted NBS knowledge-attitude scores in all ethnic groups, with the strongest effect observed among Turkish mothers. Conclusion Maternal health literacy is associated with mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward newborn screenings, with disparities across ethnic groups. Arab mothers demonstrated lower health literacy and less favourable knowledge and attitudes, indicating the need for targeted, culturally and linguistically appropriate educational interventions. Improving health literacy may enhance maternal engagement with NBS programs and help reduce ethnic disparities in neonatal health outcomes.
The Impact of Sufis on Activating the Jihad Movement against the Crusaders during the Era of Saladin
(Escola Superior Dom Helder Camara, 2026) Kadro, Narjes
The concept of Sufism has been the subject of varying opinions, with diverse perspectives on its origins and historical development. Despite the criticisms leveled against Sufism by some scholars, its significant role in confronting external threats and calling Muslims to jihad cannot be denied. This study highlights the importance of Salah al-Din's engagement with Sufis and their role in encouraging people to resist the Crusaders. It also sheds light on Salah al-Din's notable efforts to support Sufis by establishing institutions for their benefit. The research begins by defining Sufism, exploring its early spread within Islamic civilization, examining the origins of the concept, and analyzing the reasons behind the Sufis' inclination towards seclusion. It further investigates their preference for residing in ribats (fortified structures on the frontiers established to protect Muslim borders) and the ways rulers, particularly during the Ayyubid era, utilized their influence. Additionally, the study examines prominent Sufi figures during Salah al-Din's time and discusses key Sufi institutions of the period, such as the Salahiyya Khanqah and the Khanqah of Sa'id al-Sa'da. The research concludes by presenting key findings, including Salah al-Din's strategic use of Sufis to confront the Crusader threat and their critical contribution to the spiritual preparation of Muslims, culminating in the liberation of Jerusalem.

Sustainable Development Indicators and Economic Growth: Evidence from Seven Strategic Emerging Economies (2002-2023)
(MDPI, 2026) Akdag, Ilham
This study investigates the nexus between sustainable development indicators and economic growth across seven strategic emerging economies: China, Turkey, Brazil, Malaysia, Iran, Egypt, and Argentina, from the period 2002 to 2023. Utilizing panel data regression analysis, the Random Effects model was identified as the most appropriate estimation method based on rigorous statistical criteria. The empirical results reveal that R&D expenditures, health expenditures, the renewable energy share, and CO2 emissions exert a positive and significant influence on GDP. In contrast, education expenditures were found to have a negative and statistically insignificant effect on growth. This study emphasizes the necessity of supporting vital sectors, such as agriculture and industry, while simultaneously adopting effective environmental policies to reduce emissions and ensure long-term sustainable development goals in the analyzed countries.
Superstitions, Perception of Luck and Bad Luck in Turkish-Mongolian Nations
(Osman Kose, 2026) Selcukoglu, Ahmet
Since ancient times, there have been beliefs in every society that doing or not doing something would bring good luck or bad luck. Although it varies according to the holiness perception of each society, it is believed that events related to water, fire, sky or natural events are the harbingers of good or evil, and indicate luck or danger. Similar superstitions also emerged among the Turkish-Mongolian nations who shared a common geography and a common memory. These habits, which attracted the attention of local/foreign travelers and authors of the period and came to the fore with their ritualistic meaning rather than their logical basis, acquired deep symbolic meanings in the steppe folk culture. This article will discuss superstitions that are generally nourished by Turkish-Mongolian Shamanism, believed to bring good luck or bad luck, and some of which have survived to the present day.
Spiritual Transcendence and Tourist Experiences at Neolithic Ritual Sites: Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Gorurum, Gamze; Titiz, Dilan; Harman, Serhat
Nowadays, travelers tend to seek spiritual and sacred experiences on a personal level rather than through institutionalized religious structures. Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe, selected as the study sites for this research, are significant ritual sites dating back to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic period in Upper Mesopotamia. Recently, these sites have attracted increasing attention from spiritual tourists, and organized tours incorporating spiritual activities have become more common. Transcendence is regarded as one of the key components of spiritual experience. Accordingly, this study explores the components of transcendent experiences among spiritual tourists visiting these sites. In this study, a qualitative research design was employed, and purposive sampling was used to select participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 21 tourists and analyzed via content analysis. The findings indicate that the experiences of spiritual tourists consist of dimensions such as timelessness, self-loss, flow, connection with something higher, connection with communitas-others and nature, spirit of place, positive emotions, limitlessness, awe, and transformation/self-development. Thus, this study theoretically contributes to the development of transcendence by proposing novel sub-dimensions specific to spiritual tourism experiences at Neolithic ritual sites. In addition, the study offers practical implications by focusing on site managers and spiritual tour operators at Göbeklitepe and Karahantepe.
Social Media Addiction and Poor Mental Health: Examining the Mediating Roles of Internet Addiction and Phubbing
(SAGE Publications Inc, 2025) Ergun, Naif; Ozkan, Zafer; Griffiths, Mark D.
Many researchers have examined the potential detrimental role of problematic social media use (often referred as 'social media addiction') on mental health. The present study investigated how social media addiction is associated with three components of mental health: depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, structural equation modeling was used to test the mediating roles of internet addiction and phubbing among a sample of young adults (N = 603). Results showed that social media addiction was associated with poorer mental health via internet addiction and phubbing. More specifically, associations between social media addiction and stress, and social media addiction and anxiety were explained by both internet addiction and phubbing. The association between social media addiction and depression was explained by internet addiction only. These results remained consistent after controlling for gender, age, frequency of internet use, frequency of social media use, and frequency of smartphone use. These findings extend the extant literature by providing evidence for the dual roles of internet addiction and phubbing in explaining the relationship between social media addiction and poor mental health. Social media addiction did not directly influence poorer mental health but did via internet addiction and phubbing. Therefore, greater awareness of the inter-relationships between technology-based behaviors and their impact on mental health is needed among a wide range of stakeholders, and these inter-relationships need considering in the prevention and treatment of technology-based disorders.
Sex Differences in Early Complications After Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Implantation: Myth or Reality
(Wiley, 2026) Evsen, Ali; Kilic, Raif
Background Early complications after cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation remain clinically relevant and have been widely examined in large registry studies. Advanced age, comorbidities, device complexity, and antithrombotic therapy are recognized predictors of early complications. This study planned to examine the effect of sex on early (<= 30 days) device-related complications and to determine independent predictors of early major adverse cardiac events (MACE). Methods This retrospective, single-center study enrolled 1807 sequential patients (729 women, 1078 men) undergoing pacemaker, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, or cardiac resynchronization therapy implantation. Early MACE was described as consisting of pocket hematoma, pneumothorax, pericardial effusion/tamponade, and device-related infection within 30 days. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine autonomous prognostic factors. Results Early MACE occurred in 26 (3.6%) women and 41 (3.8%) men (p = 0.893). Device type distribution differed significantly by sex, with defibrillators more frequently implanted in men and pacemakers and resynchronization devices in women (all p < 0.001). Sex was not independently related to early MACE (OR 1.28, 95% CI 0.77-2.13; p = 0.337). Higher PORT scores (OR 1.06, p = 0.035), higher white blood cell counts (OR 1.09, p = 0.004), lower hemoglobin levels (OR 0.86, p = 0.024), and the presence of heart failure (OR 0.35, p = 0.002) remained independent predictors of early MACE. Conclusion Early CIED-related complications were infrequent and occurred at similar rates in women and men. Sex was not an independent predictor of early MACE; instead, overall clinical risk burden and systemic factors were the primary determinants of early adverse outcomes.
Selection of Spring Barley Lines Using Biplot Analysis for Yield and Quality Traits
(Kahramanmaras Sutcu Imam Univ Rektorlugu, 2026) Kendal, Enver
The method of observation and measurement is quite important for selection and affects the success of breeders. In order to develop highquality and productive varieties, 20 barley lines were compared with 5 standard varieties in two growing seasons, and their performances were investigated. The research was carried out according to the Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD). The research focused on grain yield and some quality parameters. According to the variance analysis results, year, genotype, and year*genotype interaction were found to be significant (p< 0.01; p< 0.05) in terms of yield. According to the average results of both years in the research, grain yield of genotypes varied between 4400-6800 kg/ha, hectoliter weight between 67.4-74.1 kg/hl, thousand grain weight between 35.7-49.7 g, protein ratio between 12.4- 15.5%. In addition, genotypes evaluated with the GT biplot technique, and superior ones were determined. In the GT (Genotype x Trait) biplot technique, PC1 accounted for 46.35% of the variation, PC2 accounted for 34.40% and 80.7% of the total variation. According to the research results, depending on the ecological factors of the growing seasons, the grain yield and protein content in the first year (6680 kg/ha, 14.9%) were higher than the second year (5030 kg ha_1, 12.9%), on the contrary, thousand grain weight and hectoliter weight were higher in the second year (72.2 kg hl(-)1, 43.9 g) than the first year (69.7 kg/hl(-)1, 42.5 g). Determination of variety candidates by evaluating the results obtained from the studies carried out in different growing seasons with different analysis models in selection facilitates the work of breeders. As a result, while the lines 2,4,9,12,14,17,19,21,22, and 24 were selected and taken to the next generation, it was determined that the Kendal variety used as the standard in the trial showed high performance according to the average data of both years. In the breeding process, it is recommended that the variety candidates be evaluated with varying models of analysis, and the lines showing high performance according to the standards used as varieties in the trial be taken to the next generation in selection.
Retrospective Observational Study of Computed Tomography-Based Vascular Risk Assessment During Needle Drainage of Peritonsillar Abscess
(Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2026) Samanci, Serhat; Toprak, Serdar Ferit; Ayral, Muhammed; Dedeoglu, Serkan; Temiz, Hakan
Peritonsillar abscess (PTA) is a common deep neck infection in which bedside drainage is performed close to major cervical vessels. Although catastrophic vascular complications are rare, clinicians have limited quantitative information on how far the internal carotid artery (ICA), external carotid artery (ECA), and internal jugular vein (IJV) lie from the abscess in individual patients. This protocol describes a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT)-based workflow to confirm unilateral PTA, acquire neck CT images under standard clinical settings, measure linear distances from the anterior and posterior abscess capsule to the ipsilateral ICA, ECA, and IJV, compare these distances with the contralateral healthy side as an internal control, and classify the theoretical risk of ICA injury during needle drainage using a modified Pfeiffer system. The procedure includes patient selection, safety screening for iodinated contrast, contrast-enhanced CT acquisition, standardized axial image review by a head and neck radiologist, and structured data recording and analysis. In a retrospective cohort of 94 adult patients, PTA consistently displaced the ICA, ECA, and IJV away from the tonsillar space, increasing both anterior and posterior distances compared with the healthy side. The mean posterior PTA-ICA distance was approximately 14 mm, whereas the contralateral tonsil-ICA distance was about 9 mm. ICA course anomalies (tortuosity or coiling) were detected in a minority of patients, and roughly one in seven cases met moderate-risk criteria because of shorter distances and/or aberrant ICA anatomy. Age, sex, and abscess volume did not significantly alter these relationships. This CT-based protocol provides a reproducible method to quantify PTA-vessel distances and identify patients with potentially higher vascular risk anatomy prior to drainage. It supports cautious, controlled-depth needle aspiration in most cases and highlights scenarios in which image-guided or operating-room drainage may be preferable.

Protocatechuic Acid Mitigates Diazinon-Induced Lung Injury in Rats through Modulation of Oxidative Stress, Inflammatory, Keap-1/Nrf-2/HO-1 and ER Stress-Mediated Apoptotic Pathways
(Mashhad Univ Med Sciences, 2026) Can, Ismail; Bozkurt, Ilyas; Senocak, Esra Aktas; Karaarslan, Tuba; Alat, Omercan; Halici, Mesut Bunyami; Gur, Cihan
Objective(s): Diazinon (DZN), a widely used organophosphate pesticide, induces pulmonary toxicity through oxidative stress, inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and apoptosis. This study investigated the potential protective effects of protocatechuic acid (PCA) against DZN-induced lung injury in rats. Materials and Methods: Thirty-five adult rats were randomly assigned to five groups (n = 7): Control, DZN (20 mg/kg), PCA100 (100 mg/kg), DZN + PCA50, and DZN + PCA100. Lung tissues were evaluated histopathologically, and oxidative stress markers (GSH, SOD, CAT, and GPx) and inflammatory mediators (TNF-alpha, IL-1 beta, IL-6, NF-kappa B, COX-2, and iNOS) were measured by ELISA. The protein levels of Keap-1, Nrf2, and HO-1 were assessed via Western blotting. Expression of ER stress-related genes (XBP-1, eIF2, ATF4, CHOP) and apoptotic markers (Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3, -6, -9) was analyzed by qRT-PCR. Results: DZN exposure caused severe histopathological damage and significantly increased oxidative, inflammatory, ER stress, and apoptotic responses. PCA administration, particularly at 100 mg/kg, markedly improved lung morphology, normalized antioxidant enzyme levels, reduced cytokine production and NF-kappa B activation, and downregulated ER stress and apoptosis-related genes. PCA also enhanced Bcl-2 expression and activated the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. Conclusion: PCA exerts dose-dependent protective effects against DZN-induced pulmonary toxicity by modulating oxidative stress, inflammation, ER stress, and apoptosis. These findings suggest that PCA may serve as a promising therapeutic candidate for mitigating pesticide-related lung injury.
