Assessing the mediating relationships between psychological factors in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive disengagement syndrome
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024-04) İnci İzmir, Sevim Berrin; Aktan, Zekeriya Deniz; Ercan, Eyüp Sabri
This study aims to investigate the predictive and mediating relationships between emotion dysregulation, internalizing disorders, family functionality, loneliness preference, and executive functions (EF) in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive disengagement syndrome (ADHD + CDS). This study included 176 children and adolescents (92 boys, 84 girls) who were diagnosed with ADHD + CDS according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, the Fifth Edition criteria by a fellowship-trained child and adolescent psychiatrist, between ages 8 -12 (M = 10, SD = 1.52) with a convenience sampling method. The solitude scale for children, difficulties in emotion dysregulation scale, Child Behavior Checklist, Barkley Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale, Family assessment device, and CNS Vital Signs test were used. The results showed that difficulty in emotion regulation, preference for loneliness, internalizing disorders and CDS symptom severity did not have a mediating effect between family functionality and EF. Still, emotion dysregulation mediates the relationship between EF and internalizing disorders by itself and through loneliness preference. Also, preference for loneliness and emotion dysregulation had a mediating effect between family functionality and internalizing disorders. Finally, it was found that the effect of emotion regulation difficulty, loneliness preference, and internalizing disorders had a mediating role between CDS symptom severity and family functionality. In conclusion, the information obtained from this study on the etiology of CDS may guide future studies.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on online grocery supply chain management: a case study in Istanbul
(Gazi Üniversitesi, 2024-03) Javadi, Sonya; Keten, Olcay; Özer, Ali İhsan; Alkan, Remziye Zeynep
The COVID-19 pandemic has already crippled normal life all over the world. Its negative impact not only changed the human health system tragically but also disrupted the global economic system. One negative result was ended up in the global food supply chain. As the lockdown times have suspended the manufacturing and logistic activities, therefore, the customers have experienced unimaginable chaos in the shopping markets. Moreover, the purchasing habit of the consumers has remarkably changed compared to pre-pandemic. To meet this new demand pattern, many grocery retailers have tried to adapt to the new normal. While before COVID-19 offline grocery purchasing was popular, after the pandemic, online service got tremendous attention in market. In this study, online grocery supply chain management during the COVID-19 in Istanbul is considered. The aim is to find out how online grocery companies will serve more efficiently during the pandemics and which factors have more effect on the customer’s satisfaction. To do so, first, three popular grocery retailers in Istanbul were selected. Then, a related survey was designed to understand the consumer experience as doing online grocery shopping in COVID-19. Unsurprisingly, a result shows that 60% of the respondents did online shopping every 3-4 days in one week, and the delivery time is the most important factor for the customers. Then, the SWOT analyses were performed accordingly, and the related strategies were summarized. Finally, several managerial implications were given to may improve the company’s online services in COVID-19 and post COVID-19 in Turkey.
EMDR Flash technique in adolescents with depression: a twelve-week follow-up study
(Sage Publications Inc, 2024-07) İnci İzmir, Sevim Berrin; Çitil Akyol, Canan
This study aims to investigate the specific effects of the EMDR Flash Technique on adolescents with depression. This follow-up study consists of 32 adolescents, 12-17 years of age (M = 14.34, SD = 1.56), including 7 males and 25 females. They were evaluated with Kiddie Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia for School-Age Children Present, the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and Children Revised Impact of Event Scale-8 (Cries-8). These were administered at baseline, at the end of the 4th and 12th weeks of treatment. The EMDR Flash Technique which can be utilized in the preparation phase of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to reduce the intensity of highly distressing memories rapidly and relatively painlessly was applied for 12 weeks, one session per week as a free-standing intervention. Also, the EMDR Flash Technique can be effective in decreasing the rate of noncompliance and drop-outs of adolescents. The baseline means of total BDI scores decreased from 48.19 to 2.16 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Also, the CRIES scores decreased from 31.78 to 0.44 at the end of the 12th week of treatment. In addition, the baseline means of SUD scores decreased from 9.53 to zero at the end of the 12th week of treatment. Overall, our results underscore the effectiveness of the EMDR-Flash Technique in adolescents with depression. Depression is a significant mental health concern for adolescents due to its early onset and chronic nature. Depression can be observed in conjunction with PTSD, and sometimes, depressive symptoms may transform into traumatic experiences. EMDR is an 8-stage protocol that includes history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation, used to alleviate the effects of traumatic experiences. It is hypothesized that unpleasant and traumatic events are stored in a dysfunctional way, and it promotes an adaptive processing and resolution of the traumatic experience. The goal of EMDR is to achieve an adequate processing of negative experiences and to create new adaptive information. The EMDR Flash Technique (FT) is utilized in the preparation phase of EMDR to reduce the intensity of highly distressing memories rapidly and relatively painlessly. Although a few studies have shown that the FT is effective in adults, there is only one study to investigate the effectiveness of the FT in children and adolescents. This research, in determining the efficacy of the EMDR FT on adolescents with depression, particularly focused on depression symptoms and assessed the observed changes in these symptoms. It aims to evaluate the specific effects of EMDR-FT on adolescents with depression, providing a unique perspective compared to previous research that has mainly focused on broader mental health disorder indicators. It is hypothesized that EMDR-FT is an effective therapy for treating adolescents with Depression. In the present study, adolescents with depression showed significant improvements in symptom severity and their traumatic events impact levels decreased. As a result of our study, a 12-week EMDR-FT treatment was observed to be effective for adolescents with depression and in reducing and improving traumatic stress levels and depression. Our results underscore the effectiveness of the EMDR-FT in adolescents with depression.
Paradox of optimism: opposition coordination against autocratic incumbents in Turkey’s 2019 and 2023 elections
(Routledge, 2024) Balta, Evren; Demiralp, Seda
In the 2019 local and 2023 general elections, Turkey’s opposition parties joined forces in pursuit of a common objective: to oust autocratic incumbents and democratize the political system. While they achieved noteworthy successes in 2019, replicating these gains in the 2023 presidential and parliamentary elections proved elusive. This study reveals that coordinating opposition efforts becomes more challenging during general elections, particularly when a charismatic presidential candidate, capable of fostering synergy among opposition factions and voters, is absent. Additionally, when opposition parties span the ideological spec-trum, crafting a unified campaign around a shared manifesto becomes more intricate. The resulting atmosphere of uncertainty is exacerbated further in the absence of decisive leadership. Most importantly, the research highlights a paradox: as optimism for electoral victory grows, parties become more inclined to form alliances but less willing to nominate a strong leader, due to con-cerns about power-sharing overshadowing electoral success. This paradox diminishes the chances of opposition victory.
Queering conservative democracy
(Turkish Policy Quarterly, 2013-12) Birdal, Mehmet Sinan
The Justice and Development Party (AKP) and its official political identity of conservative democracy dominated the first decade of the new millennium in Turkey. Conservative democracy rests on a fusion of a particularistic conservative national identity with the universal principles of liberal democracy. The conservative narratives on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgenders (LGBTs) reveal the limits of this synthesis' ability to create a deliberative democracy in Turkey, and underscore the challenges faced in recognition of LGBT demands within the conservative democratic project.

Imaging of rough surfaces by RTM method
(IEEE, 2024) Sefer, Ahmet; Yapar, Ali; Yelkenci, Tanju
An electromagnetic imaging framework is implemented utilizing a single frequency reverse time migration (RTM) technique to accurately reconstruct inaccessible two-dimensional (2D) rough surface profiles from the knowledge of scattered field data. The unknown surface profile, which is expressed as a 1D height function, is either perfectly electric conducting (PEC) or an interface between two penetrable media. For both cases, it is assumed that the surface is illuminated by a number of line sources located in the upper medium. The scattered fields, which should be collected by real measurements in practical applications, are obtained synthetically by solving the associated direct scattering problem through the surface integral equations. RTM is subsequently applied to generate a cross-correlation imaging functional which is evaluated numerically and provides a 2D image of the region of interest. A high correlation is observed by the functional in the regions where the transitions between two media occur. Hence, it results in the acquisition of the unknown surface profile at the sites where the functional attains its highest values. The efficiency of the proposed method is comprehensively tested by numerical examples covering various types of scattering scenarios.
Microservices-based databank for Turkish hazelnut cultivars using IoT and semantic web technologies
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2024-03-30) Aydın, Şahin; Aldara, Dieaa
Information and communication technologies (ICTs) can play a crucial role in facilitating access to comprehensive information on the quality standards of Turkish hazelnut cultivars. In this regard, this study introduces a Hazelnut Databank System (HDS) that utilizes the microservices architecture, an integrated software system supported by the Internet of Things (IoT) and semantic web, to categorize Turkish hazelnut cultivars. The study focuses on developing microservices using various programming languages and frameworks. Specifically, C# on the.NET Core Framework was used for both microservices and the web-based application implemented through the ASP.NET Core MVC Framework. Mobile-based software applications were created using Xamarin. Forms, and the IoT application was developed using the Python programming language. The data storage is facilitated through the MS SQL Server database. Additionally, the study incorporates the implementation of a hazelnut species classification system using the DNN + ResNet50 machine learning model, achieving an impressive accuracy rate of 95.77%. The overall usability of the system was evaluated, resulting in a score of 42 out of 50. By providing detailed information on Turkish hazelnut cultivars, the HDS has the potential to greatly improve hazelnut production quality in Turkey and increase awareness of hazelnut agriculture among relevant stakeholders.
Aesculus hippocastanum alleviates diabetic neuropathy by reducing MMP-9 and MMP-10 levels
(Asian Network Scientific Information-ANSINET, 2023) Gönüllü, Edip; Dağıstan, Gözde; Özsezer, Yakup; Erdoğan, Mümin Alper; Erbaş, Oytun
Background and Objective: Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is a prevalent complication of diabetes, characterized by neuropathic pain and motor dysfunction. The role of oxidative stress and inflammation in DN pathophysiology is well-documented. This study aims to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Aesculus hippocastanum (AH) in mitigating DN symptoms, focusing on its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Materials and Methods: The study utilized 40 adult male Wistar rats, divided into four groups: Control, diabetic and two AH-treated groups (receiving 10 mg kgG1 and 20 mg kgG1 AH, respectively). Diabetes was induced using streptozotocin (STZ) injections. Evaluations included lipid peroxidation (via malondialdehyde levels), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-9 and MMP-10) levels, electrophysiological records (assessing compound muscle action potential), histopathological examination of the sciatic nerve and motor function tests (using an inclined plane). Results: The AH-treated groups exhibited a significant reduction in MDA levels, indicating decreased lipid peroxidation. Plasma MMP-9 and MMP-10 levels were also lower in these groups, suggesting reduced inflammation. Electrophysiological records showed increased CMAP amplitudes and decreased distal latency in AH-treated rats, indicative of improved nerve conduction. Histopathological examination revealed reduced perineural thickness in the sciatic nerve of AH-treated rats, suggesting less fibrosis. In motor function tests, AH-treated rats demonstrated enhanced performance, implying improved muscle strength and motor capacity. Conclusion: The findings indicate that AH treatment effectively reduces oxidative stress and inflammation in a rat model of diabetic neuropathy, leading to improved neuropathic symptoms. These results suggest that AH could be a promising therapeutic agent for managing DN, warranting further investigation for its potential clinical application.

Impact of climate change and land cover dynamics on nitrate transport to surface waters
(Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024-03) Boyacıoğlu, Hülya; Günaçtı, Mert Can; Barbaros, Filiz; Gül, Ali; Gül, Gülay Onuşluel; Öztürk, Tuğba; Kurnaz, M. Levent
The study investigated the impact of climate and land cover change on water quality. The novel contribution of the study was to investigate the individual and combined impacts of climate and land cover change on water quality with high spatial and temporal resolution in a basin in Turkey. The global circulation model MPI-ESM-MR was dynamically downscaled to 10-km resolution under the RCP8.5 emission scenario. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) was used to model stream flow and nitrate loads. The land cover model outputs that were produced by the Land Change Modeler (LCM) were used for these simulation studies. Results revealed that decreasing precipitation intensity driven by climate change could significantly reduce nitrate transport to surface waters. In the 2075–2100 period, nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) loads transported to surface water decreased by more than 75%. Furthermore, the transition predominantly from forestry to pastoral farming systems increased loads by about 6%. The study results indicated that fine-resolution land use and climate data lead to better model performance. Environmental managers can also benefit greatly from the LCM-based forecast of land use changes and the SWAT model’s attribution of changes in water quality to land use changes.

Engineering four-qubit fuel states for protecting quantum thermalization machine from decoherence
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-01-10) Özaydın, Fatih; Sarkar, Ramita; Bayrakçı, Veysel; Bayındır, Cihan; Altıntaş, Azmi Ali; Müstecaplıoğlu, Özgür E.
Decoherence is a major issue in quantum information processing, degrading the performance of tasks or even precluding them. Quantum error-correcting codes, creating decoherence-free subspaces, and the quantum Zeno effect are among the major means for protecting quantum systems from decoherence. Increasing the number of qubits of a quantum system to be utilized in a quantum information task as a resource expands the quantum state space. This creates the opportunity to engineer the quantum state of the system in a way that improves the performance of the task and even to protect the system against decoherence. Here, we consider a quantum thermalization machine and four-qubit atomic states as its resource. Taking into account the realistic conditions such as cavity loss and atomic decoherence due to ambient temperature, we design a quantum state for the atomic resource as a classical mixture of Dicke and W states. We show that using the mixture probability as the control parameter, the negative effects of the inevitable decoherence on the machine performance almost vanish. Our work paves the way for optimizing resource systems consisting of a higher number of atoms.
Sustainability via extended warranty contracts: design for a consumer electronics retailer
(MDPI, 2024-01) Aksezer, Sezgin Çağlar
Warranty is one of the most important attributes of any product, from both manufacturer and consumer points of view. Although the retailers connect manufacturers to customers by selling goods, traditionally, they have isolated themselves from warranty-related matters such as customer complaints and maintenance costs. However, recent trends in consumer behavior toward extended warranty contracts have changed this approach. While retailers have started to generate considerable revenue from the sale of these contracts, sustainability is also achieved by longer product life cycles. This study analyzed the failure behavior of different classes of cell phone products and their related costs through a chain of consumer electronics retailer operating in Türkiye. To compete on pricing and customer service, a novel policy was designed for the retailer to honor the contracts in house rather than underwriting to a third party insurer as the industry standard. The maintenance records of 328 previous failures were analyzed to plot a failure model. Failure mode and effects analysis was carried out to identify failure classes and the respective costs for extended warranty design for cell phones. The expected warranty costs for coverage of the third, fourth, and fifth years of operation were determined. The results show that the retailer may achieve the same level of profit by increasing customer satisfaction along with the sustainability of the product through repair actions.

(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023-12) Dalloul, Ahmed Hany; Miramirkhani, Farshad; Kouhalvandi, Lida
The development of remote health monitoring systems has focused on enhancing healthcare services’ efficiency and quality, particularly in chronic disease management and elderly care. These systems employ a range of sensors and wearable devices to track patients’ health status and offer real-time feedback to healthcare providers. This facilitates prompt interventions and reduces hospitalization rates. The aim of this study is to explore the latest developments in the realm of remote health monitoring systems. In this paper, we explore a wide range of domains, spanning antenna designs, small implantable antennas, on-body wearable solutions, and adaptable detection and imaging systems. Our research also delves into the methodological approaches used in monitoring systems, including the analysis of channel characteristics, advancements in wireless capsule endoscopy, and insightful investigations into sensing and imaging techniques. These advancements hold the potential to improve the accuracy and efficiency of monitoring, ultimately contributing to enhanced health outcomes for patients.

(Univ Nis, Fac Sci Math, 2024) Taşdemir, Mert; Canfes, Elif Özkara; Uzun, Banu
In this article, we examine Bertrand curves in E3 and E31 by using the Caputo fractional derivative which we call alpha-Bertrand Curves. First, we consider alpha-Bertrand curves in E3 and we give a characterization of them. Then, we study alpha-Bertrand curves in E31 and we prove the necessary and sufficient condition for a alpha-Bertrand curves in E31 by considering time like, space like and null curves. We also give the related examples by using Python.
The relationships of neuropsychological factors and loneliness preference in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and cognitive disengagement syndrome
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023-12) İzmir, Sevim Berrin İnci; Aktan, Zekeriya Deniz; Ercan, Eyüp Sabri
This study aimed to examine emotion dysregulation and internalizing disorders mediating the relationship between selective and sustained attention and loneliness preference in children diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS). This study included 176 children and adolescents between ages 8 and 12. The solitude scale for children, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale, Child Behavior Checklist, Barkley Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale, and CNS Vital Signs test were used. The results suggest that difficulties in emotion regulation and having an internalizing disorder had a mediating effect between difficulties in selective attention and preference for the loneliness of children with ADHD + CDS. Also, it was likely that the association between sustained attention and preference for loneliness is mediated by internalizing disorders. The results suggest that the social problems commonly exhibited by children with ADHD + CDS may be related to deficits in sustained and selective attention.

Attitudes of psychiatrists towards people with mental illness: a cross-sectional, multicentre study of stigma in 32 European countries
(Elsevier Ltd, 2023-12) Őri, Dorottya; Szocsics, Péter; Molnár, Tamás; Bankovska Motlova, Lucie; Kazakova, Olga; Mörkl, Sabrina; Wallies, Michael; Abdulhakim, Mohamed; Boivin, Sylvie; Bruna, Krista; Cabaços, Carolina; Carbone, Elvira Anna; Dashi, Elona; Grech, Giovanni; Greguras, Stjepan; Ivanovic, Iva; Guevara, Kaloyan; Kakar, Selay; Kotsis, Konstantinos; Ingeholm Klinkby, Ida Maria; Maslak, Jovana; Matheiken, Shevonne; Mirkovic, Ana; Nechepurenko, Nikita; Panayi, Angelis; Pereira, Ana Telma Fernandes; Pomarol-Clotet, Edith; Raaj, Shaeraine; Prelog, Polona Rus; Soler-Vidal, Joan; Strumila, Robertas; Schuster, Florian; Kisand, Helena; Reim, Ann; Ahmadova, Gumru; Vircik, Matus; Yılmaz Kafalı, Helin; Grinko, Natalia; Győrffy, Zsuzsa; Rózsa,Sándor
Background Mental health-related stigma occurs among the public and professionals alike. The lived experience of mental illness has been linked to less stigmatising attitudes. However, data on psychiatrists and the relationship between stigmatising attitudes and psychotherapeutic activity or case discussion groups remains scarce.Methods A cross-sectional multicentre study was performed in 32 European countries to investigate the lived experiences and attitudes of psychiatrists toward patients with mental illness as well as the relationship between stigma, psychosocial and professional factors. The self-reported, anonymous, internet-based Opening Minds Stigma Scale for Health Care Providers was used to measure the stigmatising attitudes. The survey was translated into the local language of each participating country. All participants were practising specialists and trainees in general adult or child and adolescent psychiatry. The study took place between 2nd October, 2019 and 9th July, 2021 and was preregistered at ClinicalTrial.gov (NCT04644978).Findings A total of 4245 psychiatrists completed the survey. The majority, 2797 (66%), had completed training in psychiatry, and 3320 (78%) worked in adult psychiatry. The final regression model showed that across European countries more favourable attitudes toward people with mental illness were statistically significantly associated with the lived experience of participants (including seeking help for their own mental health conditions (d = -0.92, 95% confidence interval (CI) = -1.68 to -0.15, p = 0.019), receiving medical treatment for a mental illness (d = -0.88, 95% CI = -1.71 to -0.04, p = 0.040), as well as having a friend or a family member similarly affected (d = -0.68, 95% CI = -1.14 to -0.22, p = 0.004)), being surrounded by colleagues who are less stigmatising (d = -0.98, 95% CI = -1.26 to -0.70, p < 0.001), providing psychotherapy to patients (d = -1.14, 95% CI = -1.63 to -0.65 p < 0.001), and being open to (d = -1.69, 95% CI = -2.53 to -0.85, p < 0.001) and actively participating in (d = -0.94, 95% CI = -1.45 to -0.42, p < 0.001) case discussion, supervision, or Balint groups.Interpretation Our study highlights the importance of psychotherapy training, supervision, case discussions and Balint groups in reducing the stigmatising attitudes of psychiatrists toward patients. As the findings represent cross -national predictors, Europe-wide policy interventions, national psychiatric education systems and the management of psychiatric institutions should take these findings into consideration.Funding National Youth Talent Award (Ministry of Human Resources, Hungary, (NTP-NFTo-20-B-0134).
