    Anti-Immigration Conspiracy Beliefs Are Associated With Endorsement of Conventional and Violent Actions Opposing Immigration and Attitudes Towards Democracy Across 21 Countries
    (SpringerNature, 2025) Thomas, Emma F.; Stothard, Christina; Besta, Tomasz; Akbas, Gulcin; Becker, Julia C.; Becker, Maja; van Zomeren, Martijn; Department of Psychology; 02. School of Arts and Sciences; 01. Atılım University
    Despite widespread speculation that conspiracy beliefs foster anti-democratic outcomes, the empirical picture is inconsistent. To clarify this literature, we examine the relationships that conspiracy beliefs have with commitment to reactionary action and criticism of democracy, focusing on a global issue: immigration. We expected that people who believe that their government uses immigration to diversify the population against citizens' wishes (anti-migration conspiracy beliefs) would be more committed to conventional and violent action to oppose immigration, and more critical of democracy. However, societal-level factors - economic performance and democratic functioning - were expected to influence (strengthen, weaken) these links. As hypothesized, multi-level analyses (N = 4353) from 21 countries revealed that economic prosperity attenuated the positive link between anti-migration conspiracy beliefs and commitment to reactionary action. Paradoxically, more democratic societies evidenced stronger links between conspiracy beliefs and conventional (but not violent) action to oppose immigration. Thus, more democratic societies appear to invite conventional forms of action to oppose immigration which may, in turn, weaken democratic norms of inclusion. Results highlight the interplay of individual- and societal-level factors underlying illiberal movements.

    Effect of Training Based on Travelbee's Human-To Relationship Model on Prenatal Attachment, Fear of Childbirth, and Anxiety in Pregnant Women With Fear of Childbirth a Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Slack Inc, 2025) Sari, T.; Gürhan, N.; 01. Atılım University; 07. School of Health Sciences; Nursing
    PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of education provided to pregnant women with fear of childbirth according to Travelbee's Human-to-Human Relationship Model on fear of birth, prenatal attachment, and anxiety. METHOD: This prospective, randomized controlled study was conducted between June and August 2023. Participants included 62 pregnant women divided into intervention and control groups. Pregnant primiparous women who had fear of childbirth were selected for the intervention group, receiving an eight-session educational program based on Travelbee's model. RESULTS: At the end of the educational program, decreased fear of childbirth, lower anxiety, and higher prenatal attachment were detected in the intervention group. Results showed a statistically significant difference in the intervention group compared to the control group. CONCLUSION: Birth preparation education prepared according to Travelbee's model is an effective method for reducing pregnant women's fear of childbirth and anxiety and increasing prenatal attachment level.

    A Niche-Based Perspective to Stem and Cancer Stem Cells of the Lung
    (Springer, 2025) Boyacıoğlu, Özge; Kalali, Berfin Deniz; Tongün, Ege; Korkusuz, Petek; Basic Sciences; 08. Medical School; 01. Atılım University
    Lungs carry the principle function for the conduction and exchange of air through the primary, secondary, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli, resulting in the exchange of oxygen to carbon dioxide within the human tissues. Lung stem and progenitor cells enable differentiation of parenchymal and stromal elements and provide homeostasis and regeneration in the microenvironment against pulmonary diseases. Tumor-initiating cancer cells (TICs) refer to a subpopulation named as cancer stem cells (CSCs) of lung cancer exhibiting high self-renewal and proliferation capacity by Notch, Hippo, Hedgehog, and Wnt signaling pathways that leads to tumor development or recurrence. Lung cancer stem cells (LCSCs) are characterized by distinct genotypic or phenotypic alterations compared to healthy lung stem cells (LSCs) that provide a potential target to treat lung cancer. Therefore, understanding the cascades responsible for the transformation of healthy to CSCs is essential to develop new targeted therapy approaches. In this chapter, we precisely highlight the latest researches on LSCs and CSCs, key signaling mechanisms within the perspective of novel targeted therapy strategies. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
