Book Part Citation - WoS: 0The Intellectual Structure of Academic Studies on Blue-Collar Workers(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2023) Asbas, Caner; Tuzlukaya, Sule; Eroglu, Halil; Kirkbesoglu, ErdemThe main purpose of the study is to examine the intellectual structure of academic studies on blue-collar workers. In this context, (1) productivity and evolution of the field, (2) conceptual dimensions, (3) citation density and (4) structure of academic networks related to blue-collar workers were analyzed. The findings of the study produced results covering all fields of science, not just management and organization. As a result of the study, blue-collar studies by years, the most cited blue-collar studies, the researchers who published the most frequently about blue-collar workers, the researchers who conducted the longest research on blue-collar workers, the most frequently used keywords and academic networks in blue-collar studies are determined. The most important finding is that the blue-collar issue is the common intersection point of different fields of science such as health, medicine, finance, management and organization, marketing, psychology and sociology.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Calcium Phosphate Honeycomb Scaffolds With Tailored Microporous Walls Using Phase Separation-Assisted Digital Light Processing(MDPI, 2025) Kim, Gyu-Nam; Park, Jae-Hyung; Song, Jae-Uk; Koh, Young-Hag; Park, JongeeThe present study reports on the manufacturing of biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) honeycomb scaffolds with tailored microporous walls using phase separation-assisted digital light processing (PS-DLP). To create micropores in BCP walls, camphene was used as the pore-forming agent for preparing BCP suspensions, since it could be completely dissolved in photopolymerizable monomers composed of triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) and then undergo phase separation when placed at 5 degrees C. Therefore, solid camphene crystals could be formed in phase-separated BCP layers and then readily removed via sublimation after the photopolymerization of monomer networks embedding BCP particles by DLP. This approach allowed for tight control over the microporosity of BCP walls by adjusting the camphene content. As the camphene content increased from 40 to 60 vol%, the microporosity increased from similar to 38 to similar to 59 vol%. Consequently, the overall porosity of dual-scale porosity scaffolds increased from similar to 51 to similar to 67 vol%, while their compressive strength decreased from similar to 70.4 to similar to 13.7 MPa. The mass transport ability increased remarkably with an increase in microporosity.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Intensive Parenting of Mothers in 11 Countries Differing in Individualism, Income Inequality, and Social Mobility(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Lubiewska, Katarzyna; Zeglen, Marta; Lun, Vivian Miu-Chi; Park, Joonha; Runge, Ronja; Muller, Jacomien; van der Kaap-deeder, JoleneAlthough intensive parenting has been found to be mostly detrimental for both children and parents, less is known about the correlates and sources of this type of parenting. This study aimed to examine associations between mother's primary involvement in caregiving and intensive parenting, as well as their potential sources, thereby focusing on: family social status, characteristics of the national economy (income inequality and social mobility) and culture (individualism-collectivism) in 11 culturally diverse countries. Participants were 2535 mothers of children aged between 6 and 10. Mothers reported on their intensive parenting behaviors, entailing both supportive and undermining aspects of meeting their child's needs, as well as their level of involvement in daily caregiving tasks and the subjective family social status. Hypotheses were tested controlling for country level response style. Results revealed that: mothers who were more often the primary caregiver across daily tasks used more intensive parenting behaviors; high social status mothers were using less child need undermining yet more supportive intensive parenting behaviors, and less frequently served as the primary caregiver for daily tasks; the undermining intensive parenting behaviors related positively to country-level individualism and income inequality, whereas relations with social mobility were mixed.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Wavelet-Enhanced Sequence-To Modeling With Attention Mechanism for Short-Term Wind Power Forecasting(Taylor & Francis inc, 2025) Karaca, Burak; Unlu, Kamil Demirberk; Turkan, SemraElectricity load forecasting is crucial to managing electric systems, especially loads produced from renewable energy sources since the load from renewable energy sources varies when compared with nonrenewable sources. Turkey is producing an increasing amount of electricity from wind energy every day. The aim of this study is to introduce a hybrid deep learning model based on sequence-to-sequence learning (seq-2-seq), attention mechanisms, and wavelet transformation. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), Gated Recurrent Unit, and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) are used as decoders and encoders in the seq-2-seq model. We proposed six different models. All models are univariate type, requiring only the data itself. The model can be used on any wind farms without requiring the meteorological data. We test the proposed model on four different wind farms in Turkey: Soma, Biga, Balikesir, and Mersin. We utilize four different performance metrics to test the model's performance: mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), mean absolute percentage error (MAPE), and coefficient of determinations (R2). The best model is seen as Wavelet-Seq2Seq-BiLSTM-LSTM at Biga Wind Farm, which achieved the best performance with a MAE of 0.127, an MSE of 0.001, a MAPE of 0.28, and an R2 of 0.997.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Assessment of Anticancer Effects of Aloe Vera on 3D Liver Tumor Spheroids in a Microfluidic Platform(Wiley, 2025) Tevlek, Atakan; Kibar, Gunes; Cetin, BarbarosThe search for effective anticancer therapies has increasingly focused on natural compounds like Aloe vera, renowned for its therapeutic properties. This study investigates the anticancer properties of Aloe vera on 3D liver tumor spheroids via a PDMS-based microfluidic device, providing a more physiologically realistic model compared to traditional 2D cultures. HepG2 cells were cultivated to generate 3D spheroids on-chip, thereafter subjected to different concentrations of Aloe vera and the chemotherapeutic drug Doxorubicin to evaluate cytotoxic effects. The microfluidic system, validated by COMSOL simulations, facilitated continuous perfusion and real-time assessment of cell viability over a duration of 10 days. The results indicated that Aloe vera markedly diminished cell viability by triggering apoptosis at concentrations over 12.5 mg/mL. IC50 values were determined at 72 h: 25 +/- 0.10 mg/mL for Aloe vera and 5.47 +/- 0.03 mu g/mL for Doxorubicin in 2D cultures, but in 3D cultures, the IC50 values were 31.25 +/- 0.14 mg/mL for Aloe vera and 8.33 +/- 0.05 mu g/mL for Doxorubicin. This study underscores the promise of Aloe vera as a natural anticancer agent and illustrates the efficacy of microfluidic platforms for enhanced drug screening and customized medicine applications.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Evaluation of Laser Ablation for Recurrent Pilonidal Sinus Disease: Treatment Success, Recurrence Rates, and Patient Outcomes(Springer London Ltd, 2025) Emral, Ahmet Cihangir; Yazici, Sinan EfePurposePilonidal sinus disease (PD) is a chronic, recurrent inflammatory condition primarily affecting the sacrococcygeal region, often resulting in discomfort, abscess formation, and recurrent disease. Various surgical interventions, including laser ablation, have been employed to treat recurrent PD. This study evaluates the efficacy of laser ablation in patients with recurrent PD, focusing on treatment success, recurrence rates, complications, and recovery outcomes.MethodsA retrospective analysis of 37 patients with recurrent pilonidal sinus disease treated with laser ablation between January 2022 and January 2025 was conducted. Preoperative data, postoperative complications, healing time, Visual Analog Scale values, and return to normal activities were collected.ResultsThe results showed that 70.3% of patients achieved complete healing without recurrence, while 21.6% experienced recurrence within a mean follow-up of 9.6 months. Five patients (13.5%) developed superficial infections, which were managed with local dressing. The median time for wound healing was 35 days, and patients returned to normal activities in an median of 1 day. Persistent disease was observed in 8 patients (21.6%), of whom 5 patients (62.5%) achieved full epithelialization after retreatment with laser ablation.ConclusionThe ease of application, avoidance of hospitalization, minimal postoperative care, and rapid return to daily activities make laser treatment a safe and effective therapeutic option for patients with recurrent pilonidal disease, supported by favorable outcomes and low morbidity.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Reducing AI Plagiarism Through Assessment of Higher-Order Cognitive Skills(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Toker, Sacip; Akgun, MahiThis study examines whether assessments focused on higher-order cognitive skills can help reduce AI-driven plagiarism in educational settings. A total of 123 participants completed three tasks of increasing complexity, aligned with Bloom's taxonomy, across four groups: control, e-textbook, Google, and ChatGPT. Results from repeated-measures ANOVA revealed that both similarity scores and AI plagiarism percentages significantly declined as task complexity increased (p < .01). The ChatGPT group initially exhibited the highest AI plagiarism rates during lower-order tasks, but their performance improved on higher-order tasks requiring analysis, evaluation, and creation. These findings highlight a clear distinction between similarity scores and AI plagiarism detection, emphasising the need for combined evaluation methods. Overall, the study demonstrates that designing assessments to foster higher-order thinking offers an effective strategy for minimising plagiarism associated with generative AI tools, providing practical implications for academic integrity policies and instructional design.Article Citation - WoS: 0The Effect of Instant Stimulation To Kidney 3 Acupuncture Point on DPOAE Responses in Patients With Tinnitus(Sage Publications inc, 2025) Arslan, Berkay; Tuncer, SebahattinIntroduction Tinnitus is the perception of sound in the ear or brain in the absence of any external stimulation. Theories regarding tinnitus pathology often involve both cochlear involvement and central regions. Different and alternative medical treatment options have been widely used to help individuals suffering from tinnitus. Objective This study aims to investigate the effect of instant stimulation to the Kidney 3 (KI3) acupuncture point on distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) in patients with tinnitus. Material and Method Thirty patients (21 male, 9 female) with subjective tinnitus and normal hearing were included in the study. A total of 39 ears (22 left ears, 17 right ears) were evaluated. After audiological evaluations, the effects of instantaneous stimulation of the bilateral KI3 acupuncture point on DPOAE at frequencies ranging from 1,000 to 6,000 Hz were measured. Results There was a significant difference between amplitudes before and during acupuncture application at all tested frequencies, except at 4,000 Hz in patients with tinnitus in the right ear. There was also a significant difference between amplitudes of before and after acupuncture application at 3,000 and 4,000 Hz in patients with tinnitus in the left ear. Lower amplitude was observed at these frequencies compared with before the application. In patients with bilateral tinnitus, there was a significant amplitude difference between before and during application at 1,000, 2,000, and 3,000 Hz frequencies for the left ear. Conclusion Instant stimulation to the KI3 acupuncture point changed DPOAE amplitude values in patients with tinnitus.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 04D Printing of Reusable Mechanical Metamaterial Energy Absorber, Experimental and Numerical Investigation(Iop Publishing Ltd, 2025) Fallah, Ali; Saleem, Qandeel; Scalet, Giulia; Koc, BahattinThis study investigates the compression behavior, energy absorption, shape memory properties, and reusability of 4D-printed smart mechanical metamaterials. Four structural configurations, i.e. honeycomb, re-entrant, and two modified re-entrant designs were developed to assess microstructure effects. Samples were fabricated using Polylactic Acid (PLA), a widely used shape memory polymer (SMP) in 4D printing, and polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), an emerging SMP with demonstrated shape memory performance in recent studies. Cold-programming-induced shape recovery was evaluated at room temperature, simulating real-world conditions. Finite element simulations of compression and shape memory cycles matched experimental results well. Auxetic samples with negative Poisson's ratios showed superior energy absorption. However, only PETG demonstrated sufficient reusability, while PLA proved unsuitable for reusable designs. The PETG-3 modified re-entrant structure exhibited the best performance, with high energy absorption, delayed densification onset, and shape recovery and reusability factors of 0.95 and 0.96, respectively. Findings highlight the importance of considering both shape recovery and reusability when designing smart structures to address industrial challenges.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Ongoing Discussion: Is Prophylactic Central Neck Dissection Necessary in Ct1a-B,2n0 Papillary Thyroid Cancer(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025) Bayir, Omer; Akan, Latif; Kizilgul, Muhammed; Ucan, Bekir; Karahan, Sevilay; Toptas, Gokhan; Korkmaz, Mehmet HakanObjective: To analyze the central lymph node metastasis (CLNM) rates of patients who underwent prophylactic central lymph node dissection (pCLND) with total thyroidectomy for cT1-2N0 papillary thyroid cancer in our clinic, to evaluate the conditions associated with lymph node metastasis, and to examine the necessity of pCLND in these patient groups.Methods: This study includes a retrospective review of the medical data of patients who underwent bilateral/unilateral central lymph node dissection (CLND) (b/uCLND) with total thyroidectomy in our center between 2013 and 2021, whose fine needle aspiration biopsy result was reported as malignant, who were detected as cT1a-1b-2N0 on thyroid and neck ultrasonography.Results: Of the 251 patients included in the study, 63 (25%) had CLNM (49 (19.5%) ipsilateral and 14 (5.5%) had contralateral CLNM). Twenty-two (20.1%) of 109 patients with cT1a, 30 (28.3%) of 106 patients with cT1b, and 11 (30.5%) of 36 patients with cT2 had CLNM, and metastasis rates increased with increasing cT category. CLNM rates increased with increasing pT category (p=0.005). CLNM was present in 21 (38.8%) of 54 patients (21.5%) with collision tumors, and metastasis rates increased significantly compared to the presence of a single histopathologic tumor (p=0.006). CLNM rates were higher in patients with multicentric tumor localization than in those with unicentric localization (p=0.006).Conclusion: Multicentricity, bilaterality, capsule invasion, collision tumors and tumors larger than 1 cm increase the risk of CLNM. uCLND for tumors larger than 1 cm, bCLND for tumors larger than 2 cm can be considered. We believe that patients with unilateral CLNM also have an increased risk of contralateral metastasis.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Impact Behavior of Sandwich Composites With S2-glass/Epoxy and PVC Foam Under Low Velocity Loading(Walter de Gruyter Gmbh, 2025) Karakuzu, Ramazan; Sarioglu, Rifat; Kandas, HalisThe purpose of this research is to examine the absorbed energy, resistance to impact load of sandwich composite, and power exercised by impactor, experimentally. Therefore, low velocity impact tests were performed at three different energy levels for two distinct noses on sandwich composite with a PVC core and varying amounts of S2-glass layers. The vacuum-assisted resin infusion method (VARIM) was used to manufacture sandwich composites. S2-glass fabric with an areal density of 190 gm-2 and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) core material with a thickness of 10 mm were utilized. For every face sheet material, three distinct layer numbers of S2-glass fabrics were used. It is seen that composites exposed to flat impactors absorb considerably more energy than hemispherical ones.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Biosorption of Reactive Dyes by Novel Bacterium Leclercia Adecarboxylata: Complete Removal of Reactive Black 5 and Molecular Insights Into the Adsorption Mechanism(Wiley, 2025) Sen, Seda; Korkmaz, Filiz; Kilic, Nur KocberberLeclercia adecarboxylata isolated from the D & uuml;den Waterfall (Turkey) was utilized as a biosorbent for the removal of Reactive Black 5 (RB5), Setazol Blue BRF-X (BRF-X), Setazol Navy Blue SBG (SNB), and Setazol Turquoise Blue G (STBG). Of the dyes, RB5 was removed with the highest efficiency, 97.4% after 60 min. The effect of parameters such as pH (3-9), initial biosorbent dose (0.1-2.0 g/L), and initial dye concentration (25-1200 mg/L) on the biosorption of RB5 was investigated. Increasing the biosorbent dosage from 0.1 to 2.0 g/L enhanced the RB5 removal from 55.3% to 100% within 10 min. The complete removal (100%) of RB5 was achieved in media with 2.0 g/L biosorbent and 25 mg/L RB5 at pH 3 after 10 min. Additionally, the soluble extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) of L. adecarboxylata were found to consist of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides according to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis. The EPS was found to play a crucial role in dye removal, forming chemical interactions with dye molecules. Zeta potential analysis was used to evaluate the charge distribution on the biosorbent surface (-12.6 +/- 1.1 mV) and its interactions in the biosorption process. Kinetic and isotherm models suggested a complex interaction mechanism between the biomass and the dye. Adsorption isotherm data were analyzed via nine isotherm models. Among them, the Hill model was found to be the best fit for describing the equilibrium adsorption process of the RB5 (R2 = 0.9993). Overall, the applied models elucidated the influence of both physical and chemical interactions on the mechanism. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption of RB5 fit a pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The unique biochemical composition of the indigenous L. adecarboxylata biosorbent provided a high affinity for RB5, offering a sustainable, rapid, and economical solution for the treatment of dye-polluted water.Article Citation - WoS: 0Does the Relationship Between Sustainable Human Resource Management and Organizational Identification Vary by Culture ? Evidence From 35 Countries Based on Globe Framework(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Turek, Dariusz; Wojtczuk-Turek, Agnieszka; Edgar, Fiona; Podgorodnichenko, Nataliya; Okay-Somerville, Belgin; Fu, Na; Zhang, GangfengPurposeThe article discusses the relationships between sustainable HRM and organizational identification, conceptualized at the individual level, and the moderating role of cultural dimensions conceptualized at the country level (described in GLOBE's framework). The study's theoretical model based on social exchange theory proposes that sustainable HRM practice increases organizational identification. However, the strength of this identification depends on the dimensions of national culture. Thus, we assumed national culture functions as a second-level moderator in the relationship between sustainable HRM and organizational identification.Design/methodology/approachWe conducted the study with data from 10,421 employees across 35 countries. We used a multilevel modeling approach for data analysis.FindingsThe study revealed the cross-level interaction effects of national culture on the relationship between sustainable HRM practice and organizational identification. Specifically, the results indicate that sustainable HRM strengthens employees' organizational identification more in cultures with higher levels of gender egalitarianism and lower levels of humane orientation.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates that the relationship between sustainable HRM practices and employees' organizational identification is culturally sensitive. It highlights the need to consider cultural context when assessing the impact of sustainable HRM practices on employee outcomes. Furthermore, it shows that certain cultural dimensions can enhance the effect of sustainable HRM practices.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0The Effectiveness of Redistribution in Carbon Inequality: What About the Top 1%(MDPI, 2025) Boz, Arinc; Unalan, Gokhan; Caskurlu, ErenThis study investigates the impact of income redistribution on carbon emissions across 154 countries from 1995 to 2023, with a particular focus on carbon inequality. Using a dynamic panel approach with two-step System GMM estimations, the analysis considers three dependent variables: average per capita emissions, top 1% per capita emissions, and the ratio of top 1% per capita emissions to national average per capita emissions. Results show that income redistribution (measured in both absolute and relative terms) significantly reduces average per capita emissions in the short term. However, redistribution has no mitigating effect on the carbon emissions of the top 1%; in some models, it is even associated with increases in elite emissions and a widening of carbon inequality. These findings suggest that while redistribution may contribute to national emission reductions, it is insufficient to curb the carbon-intensive lifestyles of the wealthiest. The analysis confirms the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis and underscores the need for complementary policy tools to more effectively address the emissions of high-emitting individuals. Overall, this study contributes to the literature by linking income redistribution with emission disparities across income groups and highlights the importance of considering distributional dynamics in climate policy design.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Exploring the Role of Search Experience and Self-Efficacy in Cognitive Self-Esteem: a Latent Growth Modelling Approach(Sage Publications inc, 2025) Akgun, Mahir; Toker, SacipIn this study, we seek to contribute to a broader understanding of the processes and contexts that lead to inflated judgments of cognitive ability in human-computer partnerships. We conducted a within-subject experiment design study with 164 college students in order to explore the impact of the search experience on cognitive self-esteem (CSE). Our preliminary findings revealed that search experience is an important factor that influences individuals' perception of their abilities to answer questions. This influence was observed regardless of whether they have access to search tools or not. However, search experience does not explain the significant change in CSE that we found between "access" and "no access" (to search tools) conditions.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0Incidental Detection of Ectopic Liver Tissue During Elective Cholecystectomy: a Case Report(Frontiers Media Sa, 2025) Emral, Ahmet CihangirIntroduction Ectopic liver tissue (ELT) is a rare embryological anomaly most commonly found in the abdominal region, particularly on the gallbladder. It is generally asymptomatic and is often discovered incidentally during surgery or autopsy. Although histologically similar to the main liver, ELT should be excised due to the potential risk of malignancy.Case presentation This study presents a case of incidental ELT discovered during elective cholecystectomy in a 34-year-old female patient. Preoperative imaging revealed multiple gallstones, and during laparoscopic exploration, an ectopic liver tissue lesion was found on the gallbladder fundus. The lesion, measuring 10 x 5 mm, was excised en bloc with the gallbladder and sent for pathological examination, which showed no malignancy.Discussion The rarity and asymptomatic nature of ELT make it difficult to diagnose preoperatively, but its association with malignant transformation warrants careful management. In cases of suspected malignancy, further surgical approaches such as extended surgical margins and regional lymph node dissection should be considered.Conclusion This case underscores the importance of early detection and excision of ectopic liver tissue due to its potential for malignant transformation.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0On Perturbed-Sτ-Contractions(Amer Inst Mathematical Sciences-Aims, 2025) Alsahli, Ghaziyah; Shahi, Priya; Karapinar, ErdalThis study aims to present novel fixed-point results within the structure of a newly introduced abstract structure known as perturbed metric spaces. As expected, these spaces naturally extend and generalize the classical metric spaces. Consequently, the key results of this study broaden, refine, and broaden the existing fixed-point results in the published outcomes.Article Citation - WoS: 0Effectiveness of Game-Based Teaching Method on Nursing Students' Knowledge of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS)(Dubai Iranian Hosp, 2024) Abumettleq, Ibrahim S.

However, our results show that the game-based teaching method enhances nursing students' comprehension of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS), and the method could be useful in developing lesson plans for nursing education and nursing schools.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 0Driving Conditions Leading To Thermal Runaway in Li-Ion Battery EV's(IEEE, 2024) Ertan, H. Bulent; Azuaje-Berbeci, Bernardo J.The adoption of high-energy-density lithium-ion batteries (LIB) as the energy source in electric vehicles (EV) introduces significant safety concerns. Thermal runaway (TR), a self-accelerating rise in battery temperature resulting in catastrophic failure, is a significant safety concern. Cooling system failure within the EV's thermal management system is one of several factors that can trigger TR. Typically, TR is initiated by exceeding a critical temperature threshold under abusive conditions. Understanding the operating conditions that lead to the path of TR is essential for ensuring EV and occupant safety. Recently, a detailed electrochemical-thermal model that incorporates the chemical reactions within the battery until TR is introduced. This paper aims to illustrate how this model can be used to identify the conditions leading to TR under realistic EV driving scenarios. For this purpose, an Advisor/Matlab-based model of a hybrid EV is developed and verified by tests, is used to estimate the current required from the vehicle's battery pack at a given driving condition. This is followed by the prediction of battery thermal response using the mentioned finite-element-analysis-based battery model. Several scenarios are tested in this paper to determine whether TR occurs and to identify the factors contributing to TR. This study aids in comprehending the factors that contribute to TR and the development of preventative measures for battery management system design.Article Citation - WoS: 0Citation - Scopus: 0On Rational Contractions in Perturbed Metric Spaces(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Alsahli, Ghaziyah; Karapinar, Erdal; Shahi, PriyaThis paper aims to extend the Banach contraction principle using rational expressions in perturbed metric spaces.
