Qualitative Analysis of Solutions for a Timoshenko Type Equation With Logarithmic Source Term
(Univ Nis, 2025) Dinc, Yavuz; Irkil, Nazli; Piskan, Erhan; Tunc, Cemil
This paper deals with a Timoshenko type equation with strong damping and logarithmic source terms. The global existence and the decay estimate of the solutions have been obtained. We reproduce the finite time blow up results of weak solutions by the combining of the concavity method, perturbation energy method and differential-integral inequality technique. These results extend and improve some recent results in logarithmic nonlinearity.

Objective: This study was conducted to determine and compare the antioxidant, cytotoxic, and antimicrobial effects of spindle leaves of Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (E. angustifolia) (oleaster) leaves. Methods: Total phenolic content was measured using the Folin-Ciocalteu method, phenolic compound analysis by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) and antimicrobial effect by the minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) method. The free radical scavenging activity was determined by the (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) DPPH method, the free radical scavenging activity was determined by the ABTS method, and cytotoxicity assays were performed by the MTT method in human retinal epithelium cells (RPE-1), human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS), and prostate cancer cells (DU-145) cell lines. Results: High amounts of gallic acid, protocatechuic acid, and o-coumaric acid were identified as phenolic compounds. E. angustifolia was found to have a good antioxidant capacity and high free radical scavenging capacity. In this study, for the first time, E. angustifolia leaf extract was used to investigate cytotoxic effects on human retinal epithelium (RPE-1), human osteosarcoma cells (U2OS), and prostate cancer (DU-145) cells and antimicrobial effects on Listeria monocytogenes American Type Culture Collection (ATTC) 7644, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29213, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Klebsiella pneumonia ATCC 11774, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 microorganisms. The highest cytotoxic effect was observed in the DU-145 cell line, and the highest antimicrobial effect was observed in Listeria monocytogenes ATTC 7644 and Candida albicans ATCC 10231. The leaf extract of the plant contains some important phenolic compounds and has high free radical scavenging capacity, a good anticancer effect, and effective antimicrobial activity on yeast species such as C. albicans. Conclusion: Our study will contribute greatly to the search for anticancer and antimicrobial agents, especially from a pharmacological perspective, by examining biological activity using three different methods.

(Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2025) Dundar, Ahmet; Irmak, Halit; Ayhanci, Tugba; Yildiz, Songul Cetik
Background: Brucellosis is a zoonotic and multisystemic disease that is widespread worldwide and can present with many different clinical conditions, ranging from asymptomatic to serious and fatal conditions. Brucellosis may be linked to renal tubular and acute kidney damage, nephrotic syndrome, and various types of nephropathies. Objective: Our research was carried out prospectively to investigate the relationship between brucellosis and various biochemical markers and particularly to investigate the role of renal tubular damage biomarkers. Methods: Demographic and biochemical data from 60 controls and 60 brucellosis patients were included in the study. Kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) were analyzed by. The diagnostic accuracy of KIM-1 and NGAL for brucellosis was assessed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Results: According to our findings, significant differences of KIM-1 and NGAL were observed between brucellosis and healthy patients. A high AUC (area under the curve) value of 0.742 (95% CI: 0.616-0.868) and 0.835 (95% CI: 0.729-0.941) was observed for KIM-1 and NGAL, respectively. Conclusion: Serum levels of KIM-1 and NGAL, which are renal tubular damage markers, where higher in Brucellosis than in healthy patients. These biomarkers can contribute to the rapid and accurate diagnosis of brucellosis regarding the involvement of nephropathies and to the standardization of comprehensive diagnostic warning indicators.

(Univ Sao Paolo, 2025) Icke, Sibel; Cifci, Sema
Objective: This study aims to compare the genital hygiene behaviors of native and Syrian immigrant women students. Method: This was cross-sectional research. The sample size of the study was determined via power analysis and G*Power software. A total sample size of 330 individuals was equally distributed to both groups. Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire" and the 'Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale' were used as data collection tools. Results: There was a significant difference between the mean scores of the scales of both student groups (p < 0.05). The mean scores of native students were found to be higher. The variables "how to clean the genital area", "material used for genital hygiene", "washing method of underwear", "pretoilet hand washing habits" and "regular menstruation" were found to be most effective in terms of the mean scores of the Genital Hygiene Behaviors Scale and its subscales for immigrant students. Conclusion: Social security status and nationality were the most influential sociodemographic factors affecting genital hygiene behaviors. It would be beneficial to raise awareness and promote behavioral changes regarding genital hygiene through seminars, conferences, workshops, and similar events targeting all women university students.

Improving Accuracy Through Preprocessing and Data Augmentation Techniques with a Deep Learning-Based Approach for Arrhythmia Detection
(Univ Tun Hussein onn Malaysia, 2025) Aslan, Emrah; Ozupak, Yildirim
Arrhythmia detection plays a critical role in the early diagnosis and management of cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we propose a deep learning-based model for arrhythmia classification using advanced preprocessing and data augmentation techniques. The proposed model is evaluated on the MIT-BIH Arrhythmia Dataset and the PTB Diagnostic ECG Dataset and achieves 98% and 95% accuracy rates, respectively. These results demonstrate the strong ability of the model to classify complex heartbeat patterns, achieving higher accuracy, precision, sensitivity, and F1 score compared to existing methods. The model uses a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture trained on pre-processed ECG signals with data segmented into individual heartbeats. Data augmentation techniques are applied to reduce data imbalances and improve the generalization ability of the model. Experimental results highlight that the model provides a significant increase in accuracy rates over traditional methods. The results of this study highlight the potential of deep learning architectures in biomedical signal analysis, especially for realtime arrhythmia detection. This approach offers promising potential for clinical applications by enabling higher diagnostic accuracy and timely intervention in cardiovascular healthcare.
Analysis of Pyrolysis Liquid From Green Walnut Shells (Juglans Regia L.) and Its Antifungal Activity Against Pathogenic Fungi in Ornamental Plants
(Aloki Applied Ecological Research and Forensic Inst Ltd, 2025) Koc, I
Pathogenic fungi damage ornamental plant production in both quality and quantity. Organic fungicides are significantly needed for the control of these pathogens. This study was carried out to analyze the content of pyrolysis liquid (PL) obtained from green walnut shells (Juglans regia L.) and to evaluate its antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum and Verticillium dahliae. This research was carried out under in vitro conditions with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% (v/v) PL solution applications in a Randomized Plot Design with four replications. The Poisoned Food Method was used to determine the antifungal activity of PL. As a result of chemical content analysis of PL, 53 components were detected by GC-MC, and the major components were propanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-(CAS) (21.69%), e-2-undecenal (7.11%), and nonanal (5.76%). Twelve components were detected by LC-MS/MS, with vanillic acid (393.28 mu g/L), vanillin (334.34 mu g/L), and syringic acid (222.80 mu g/L) identified as the major components. Total phenolic content (201.76 +/- 12.50 mg GAE/mL) and total flavonoid content (114.74 +/- 4.50 mg QE/mL) were determined. Therefore, the effect of concentration on colony size varied depending on the species. It was determined that PL showed stronger antifungal activity at higher concentrations, with the highest activity observed at the 25% (v/v) solution.
Hepatitis A Seroprevalence by Age Groups in Mardin Province
(Galenos Publ House, 2025) Tarhan, Muhammet Salih; Ipek, Davut
Objective: T & uuml;rkiye is a medium endemic country for hepatitis A virus (HAV) and the seroprevalence of HAV varies regionally. The aim of this study was to determine the immunity status against HAV according to age groups in Mardin province, where no seroprevalence study has been conducted. Materials and Methods: Anti-HAV immunoglobulin G (IgG) tests which were requested from outpatient clinics of Mardin Training and Research Hospital between May 2024 and September 2024 were evaluated. Anti-HAV IgG was analysed with Cobas (R) 6000 system (Roche Diagnostics, Rotkreuz, Switzerland) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. Results: Anti-HAV IgG results of 2765 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 34.72 +/- 19.27 years, 1459 were female (52.8%) and 1306 were male (47.2%). Anti-HAV IgG positivity was detected in 94.6% of the patients. This rate was 95.3% in males and 94.0% in females. The lowest rate of anti-HAV IgG positivity was in the age group of 13-18 years (66.7%). At the age of 50 years and older, anti-HAV IgG positivity was 100%. The mean age of seropositive patients was higher than seronegative patients (35.6 vs. 19.8, p<0.001). The seropositivity rate was found to be higher in children born after 2012 (when routine HAV vaccination began in childhood) than in children aged 13-18 born before 2012 (95.3% vs. 66.7%, p<0.001). Conclusion: HAV seroprevalence was found to be high in Mardin province. Furthermore, the HAV vaccination programme has yielded positive results. As the 13-18 age group did not benefit from the programme, they are the most susceptible to HAV. Therefore, special vaccination programmes should be implemented for this age group.
Examining the Relationship Between Problematic Media Use and Screen Time in Children Aged 5-6
(Cukurova Univ, 2025) Polat, Pinar
This study aims to examine the relationship between problematic media use and screen time in children aged 5-6 years, and to investigate whether problematic media use differs according to gender, parental education level, and family income. The study sample consists of 407 parents (191 girls, 216 boys) of children aged 5-6 selected by the convenience sampling method. Designed using a correlational survey model, the study collected data via online surveys using the Problematic Media Use Scale-Parent Form (PMUS-PF) and a demographic information form. Data were analyzed using SPSS 25.0 with Independent Samples t-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation Coefficient. The results indicate that children's levels of problematic media use were below average. While a statistically significant positive relationship was found between problematic media use and screen time, no significant difference was found according to gender, parental education level, and family income. This study contributes to the determination of preventive measures that can be taken in this regard by raising awareness about problematic media use in the preschool period.
Hoarseness, Quality of Life, and Social Anxiety: A Case-Control Study
(MDPI, 2025) Donmezdil, Suleyman; Toprak, Serdar Ferit
Hoarseness is a common voice symptom that can impair communication and lead to psychosocial difficulties. It has been hypothesized that chronic hoarseness may contribute to elevated social anxiety. This study aimed to assess the impact of hoarseness on quality of life and social anxiety in affected individuals. Thirty-eight patients with chronic hoarseness (voice disorders) and 40 matched healthy controls were evaluated in a prospective case-control study. Quality of life was measured using the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire (Physical, Psychological, Social, and Environmental domains). Social anxiety was assessed with the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), and general anxiety and depression with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Group scores were compared using appropriate statistical tests, and effect sizes with 95% confidence intervals were calculated. Patients with hoarseness had significantly lower Psychological Health and Social Relationships scores on the WHOQOL-BREF than controls (p < 0.01 for both; large effect sizes), indicating worse quality of life in these domains. Physical Health and Environmental domain scores did not differ between groups. The hoarseness group also showed higher social anxiety: LSAS total scores and Social Interaction subscale scores were significantly greater than those of controls (p < 0.01 and p < 0.05, respectively; moderate-to-large effects), whereas the Performance Anxiety subscale was similar between groups. By contrast, HADS anxiety and depression scores did not differ significantly between patients and controls. Notably, mean HADS scores in both groups fell in the mild (borderline) range rather than the normal range. Chronic hoarseness is associated with reduced quality of life in emotional and social domains and with increased social anxiety symptoms, but not with elevated general anxiety or depression. These findings underscore the need to address psychosocial factors, particularly social anxiety, in the clinical management of patients with voice disorders.
The Mediating Role of Psychological Resilience in the Relationship Between Workplace Violence and Job Stress Among Healthcare Workers
(BMC, 2025) Bayram Deger, Vasfiye; Cifci, Sema; Kacan, Havva
Background Workplace violence is a widespread, global public healthcare concern among healthcare employees. The present study aimed to examine the mediating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between workplace violence and job stress among healthcare employees. Materials and methods The population of the study, which had a descriptive and correlational design, consisted of all healthcare employees working in a hospital in the southeast of Turkey, and the study was completed with 515 healthcare employees. The data were collected between 20.05.2024 and 15.09.2024 using a face-to-face interview technique with a data form consisting of 4 sections. The data collection form consists of 4 sections: socio-demographic characteristics, Psychological Violence Behaviors at Workplace Scale, A Work Stress Scale-20, Brief Psychological Resilience Scale. The data were then analyzed by using the SPSS software. Descriptive statistics and parametric methods, Pearson Correlation Analysis, and Linear Regression were used in the evaluation of the data, and hierarchical regression analyses regarding the mediation effect were made by using the PROCESS Model 4. A p-value < 0.05 was accepted as significant in the analyses. Results A total of 55.9% of the participants were female and 44.1% were male. When the occupational distribution was evaluated, the largest group was nurses with 55.3%, followed by midwives with 12.6% and physicians with 7.4%. The total mean score on the Scale of Psychological Violence Behaviors in the Workplace was 37.27 +/- 39.51, the total mean score on the Short Psychological psychological resilience Scale was 20.41 +/- 4.32, and the total mean score on the Job Stress Scale was 46.51 +/- 20.72. A negative and significant relationship was detected between the psychological psychological resilience scale total score and the total score of Psychological Violence Behaviors in the Workplace. A positive and highly significant relationship was detected between the total score of the Job Stress Scale and the total score of Psychological Violence Behaviors in the Workplace. A negative and significant relationship was detected between psychological resilience and job stress. The effect of psychological violence in the workplace on psychological resilience was significant. Conclusion This study suggests that workplace violence increases job stress by weakening psychological resilience. Psychological resilience plays a partial role in moderating this effect. Reducing the negative impacts of Job Stress and psychological violence on individuals and protecting and developing the psychological resilience of healthcare staff is a critical priority for the well-being of employees and for institutions to achieve their sustainable targets.

Chemometric Differentiation of Organic Honeys From Southeastern Türkiye Based on Free Amino Acid and Phenolic Profiles
(MDPI, 2025) Gurbuz, Semra; Kivrak, Seyda
Verifying the geographical origin of honey is crucial for its market value and for preventing fraudulent practices. This study aimed to characterize the chemical profiles of organic honeys from three distinct regions in Southeastern T & uuml;rkiye-& Scedil;& imath;rnak Fara & scedil;in, Siirt Merkez, and Siirt Pervari-to establish a robust method for geographical authentication. A total of 51 multifloral honey samples were analyzed. The concentrations of 20 free amino acids (FAAs) and 16 phenolic compounds were quantified using (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS). The resulting data were subjected to both an unsupervised (PCA, CA) and supervised (PLS-DA, RF, SVM) chemometric analysis to identify biochemical markers for each region. The results revealed a distinct chemical fingerprint for each region. Based on the FAA profiles, the PLS-DA method provided the best overall classification, achieving an excellent discrimination with a total accuracy of 94.1% in the & Scedil;& imath;rnak Fara & scedil;in honeys. For the phenolic compound profiles, the RF method achieved the highest correct classification rate for & Scedil;& imath;rnak Fara & scedil;in honeys at 88.2%. This study demonstrates that an integrated approach, combining FAA and phenolic profiles with supervised chemometric methods, provides a successful and reliable model for determining the geographical origin of these multifloral honeys.

Factors Determining the Number of Sessions in Successful Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy Patients
(De Gruyter Poland Sp z. o. o., 2025) Ergun, Muslum; Sagir, Suleyman
Background and aim - The aim of this study is to investigate whether certain clinical nomograms influencing the success of extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) also play a role in determining the number of treatment sessions required in patients who achieved stone-free status following ESWL. Methods - The data of 354 patients with successful ESWL outcomes were analyzed. Patients were evaluated 4-6 weeks post-ESWL using X-ray, ultrasound, or computed tomography. The presence of residual stones larger than 4 mm was considered a treatment failure. Data recorded included age, gender, laterality of stone localization (right/left), stone location (renal pelvis, mid calyx, upper calyx, proximal ureter, mid ureter, distal ureter), stone size (maximum longitudinal dimension), body mass index (BMI), and stone Hounsfield unit (HU) values. Patients were categorized into two groups: single-session and multiple-session treatment. Results - In the univariate model, factors such as age, BMI, distal ureter, renal pelvis, mid-calyx stone localization, stone size, and stone HU value showed a significant (p < 0.05) effect in distinguishing between single-session and multiple-session groups. Stone size and HU values were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in the multiple-session group compared to the single-session group. In the multivariate model, age, stone size, and HU value emerged as significant independent factors (p < 0.05) in differentiating between single-session and multiple-session treatments. Conclusion - Several factors influencing the success of ESWL also affect the number of sessions required. BMI, age, stone size, stone HU value, and certain stone locations are key determinants of the number of ESWL sessions.

Sculpting the Leader and Making the Nation; Atatürk Monuments and Statues in the Early Republican Period
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Yelbasi, Caner
This article argues that statues and monuments to Atat & uuml;rk were constructed as symbols of the nation-state intended to unite society. To fill the void left by Ottoman-era images, the nation-state provided the nascent nation with a new symbol. Atat & uuml;rk's monuments and statues were more than simply stone structures: they were erected to serve as a central focal point in the heart of the nation. They were physically located in the centre of towns and cities to mark a gathering point, and national ceremonies were held in front of them. These monuments and statues of Atat & uuml;rk not only placed him at the centre of Turkish political life but also made a significant contribution to ensuring his perpetual visibility as a significant presence in daily life throughout Turkey.
Association of Gla-Rich Protein (GRP) With Inflammatory Markers in Critically Ill Patients: A Cross-Sectional Observational Study
(MDPI, 2025) Eygi, Elif; Bayrakci, Sinem; Bayrakci, Onur; Ayhan, Nazire Ates; Atlas, Ahmet; Kilinc, Metin; Dokuyucu, Recep
Objectives: Gla-rich protein (GRP), a vitamin K-dependent protein, has been increasingly recognized for its dual role in modulating inflammation and inhibiting pathological calcification. Despite its emerging importance in chronic conditions, limited evidence exists regarding its behavior during acute critical illness. This study aimed to investigate the association between GRP, systemic inflammatory markers, oxidative stress (via total thiol oxidation-reduction ratio, TORR), and calcium metabolism in critically ill patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional observational study included 93 critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) and 60 age- and sex-matched non-critically ill volunteers. Serum GRP levels were measured using ELISA. Other biomarkers including TORR, C-reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT), white blood cell count (WBC), immature granulocytes (IGs), and serum calcium were also analyzed. Pearson's correlation, multivariate linear regression, and ROC analysis were performed to assess the relationships among GRP and biochemical markers, as well as their capacity to differentiate ICU patients from controls. Results: GRP, TORR, CRP, PCT, WBC, IGs, and ferritin levels were significantly elevated in ICU patients compared to the control group, whereas serum calcium levels were markedly reduced (all p < 0.05). GRP levels demonstrated moderate positive correlations with WBC (r = 0.47), neutrophils (r = 0.51), TORR (r = 0.42), CRP (r = 0.30), and IGs (r = 0.46), and a strong negative correlation with calcium (r = -0.63). In multivariate regression, TORR, CRP, WBC, IGs, PCT, and calcium levels showed significant correlations with GRP levels in univariate analysis. ROC analysis revealed that CRP had the highest discriminatory power (AUC = 0.88; 95% CI: 0.82-0.94), followed by TORR (AUC = 0.79; 95% CI: 0.71-0.86), GRP (AUC = 0.76; 95% CI: 0.68-0.84), and IGs (AUC = 0.77; 95% CI: 0.69-0.85), for distinguishing ICU patients from non-critically ill individuals. Conclusions: Our findings demonstrated that GRP is significantly associated with systemic inflammation, oxidative stress, and calcium metabolism disturbances in critically ill patients. The combined evaluation of GRP and TORR may enhance the understanding of inflammatory and oxidative mechanisms in acute critical illness. Although this study did not assess patient outcomes, these biomarkers could serve as promising candidates for future prognostic research in ICU settings.
Impact of Gender Roles on Menopause Attitudes, Symptoms, and Psychological Well-Being: A Predictive and Correlational Study
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Cetinkaya, Sahika Simsek; Yasar, Beril Nisa
This study aimed to examine the relationships among menopausal attitudes, psychological well-being, menopausal symptoms, and gender role attitudes, and how these factors influence psychological well-being in menopausal women. Data were collected from 290 participants using a Personal Information Form, Gender Roles Attitude Scale, Psychological Well-Being Scale, and Attitude Toward Menopause Scale. Pearson correlations and multiple linear regression were used to analyze the relationships and predict psychological well-being. Menopausal attitude was positively correlated with psychological well-being (r = 0.550, p < 0.001) and negatively correlated with menopausal symptoms (r = -0.420, p < 0.001). Gender attitude was positively correlated with both menopausal attitude (r = 0.480, p < 0.001) and psychological well-being (r = 0.380, p < 0.001), and negatively correlated with menopausal symptoms (r = -0.290, p < 0.001). The relationship between psychological well-being and menopausal symptoms was not significant (r = -0.100, p > 0.05). In the regression model, these variables explained 30% of the variance in psychological well-being (Adjusted R-2 = 0.30, F = 32.584, p < 0.001). Positive menopausal and gender role attitudes were associated with improved psychological well-being, while higher menopausal symptoms were linked to lower well-being. These findings suggest that addressing gender role attitudes and promoting positive perceptions of menopause could enhance psychological well-being during this life transition.
