Book Part JAK Inhibitors/Drug Interactions(Springer Science+Business Media, 2025) Demirci Saadet, E.JAK inhibitors are a group of drugs that can affect the signaling of various cytokines simultaneously. The number of indications in dermatology has been increasing in recent years. JAK inhibitors are largely metabolized by the liver. Therefore, drug–drug interactions may occur when used with cytochrome P450 and CYP2C19 inhibitors or inducers, and drug dosages should be adjusted or not used together. In addition, OAT-3 inhibitors, which are known to play a role in renal elimination, interact with some JAK inhibitors, and dose adjustment is recommended. During treatment, drug–drug interactions should be reviewed in combination with JAK inhibitors and other drugs. © 2025 The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Making Foreign Policy Through Twitter: an Analysis of Trump's Tweets on Iran(IGI Global, 2020) Orhan,D.D.Through the development of technology, the understanding of traditional foreign policy has changed. Foreign policy making, which was shaped by diplomatic correspondence, visits, agreements, and notes between countries, is carried out today via messages sent over the Internet. Twitter is the most frequently used internet tool in the hands of institutions, decision makers, and leaders in foreign policy making. US President Donald J. Trump is one of the leaders who use Twitter most effectively. Twitter was the center of Trump's messages, both during the presidential campaign and after his election. Trump is not just using Twitter as a platform for meeting his supporters and announcing the country's official policies. Twitter has also been an important way for Trump to challenge and send harsh messages to certain countries, companies, and individuals. Iran is one of the countries that Trump targets through Twitter. This study aims to examine the use of Twitter as a platform in foreign policy making by using content analysis method through Trump's tweets about Iran. © 2021, IGI Global.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Materials and Processes for Treatment of Microbiological Pollution in Water(Springer, 2021) Alazzawi,M.; Turkoglu Sasmazel,H.Clean and safe water is vital for the life and health of human beings. However, there are still millions of people around the world with inadequate clean water sources. Microbiological pollution is one of the most concerned water pollutants and is the crucial cause of waterborne diseases like diarrhea, resulting in about two million deaths annually due to severe dehydration (WHO in Guidelines for drinking-water quality. Incorporating the first addendum, WHO, Geneva, 2017). It is critical to develop methods using advanced materials and process to mitigate contaminants from water resources. Production of safe water usually involves disinfection and decontamination processes. Conventional disinfection process, such as chlorination, is challenged by the formation of disinfection by-products. Furthermore, the presence of emerging pathogenic, that resist conventional water treatment techniques, raised the crucial necessity for emerging materials and techniques for treating water from microbiological pollution (Shannon et al. in Nature 452:301–310, 2008). This chapter describes bacterial, viral, and protozoal microbiological pollution in water supplies and the application of emerging materials and techniques to eliminate such contaminations. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Book Part Clinical Development of Quinone-Based Drugs(Elsevier, 2024) Altuner, E.E.; Issa, G.; Ozalp, V.C.; Aldemir, O.; Torlak, Y.; Dar, U.A.This chapter provides a detailed explanation of the clinical investigations, pharmacological effects, and characteristics of quinone and quinone derivatives, along with references to pertinent sources. Although quinones have an oxygen group in their structure, they are quickly oxidized and interact with reactive oxygen species. This demonstrates how quinones work as drugs. Quinones and their derivatives are used as medications to treat a wide range of diseases, including cancer, lung, kidney, brain, and tumor disorders. Each of the following has effects on a different area of health; lapochols, anthraquinones, naphthoquinone and its derivatives, and other wide range of quinone derivatives are thoroughly explored in this chapter. © 2025 Elsevier Inc.

Under discrete time setting, i.e., when the shocks occur according to a binomial process, the linkage between the lifetime of the system under the shock model and the waiting time for the first scan is presented. Such a useful connection may create a new perspective to study the reliability properties of the system under the δ-shock model. © Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.Book Part Conclusion(Springer International Publishing, 2022) Yilmaz,G.This book explores non-discrimination in Turkey by dividing the principle into issue areas. It provides a detailed analysis of many areas within the principle of non-discrimination. © The Editor(s)(if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.Book Part Gender Representation in New Media Through Global Calendar Photographs(IGI Global, 2020) Karabacak,Z.I.; Özgen,Ö.New media that enables access to more people is a preferred platform by Lavazza for bringing together consumers from all around the world within the framework of coffee culture by means of photography. Lavazza calendar photos (1993-2012) have been analysed using Dyer's non-verbal communication means and lines of appeal under the following headings: "Sexually Highlighted Female Body in Lavazza Calendar Photos, ″ "Different Sexual Orientations as Secondary Emphasis of Lavazza Calendar Photos, ″ "Idealized Body Look of Models of Lavazza Calendars, ″ "Roles of Women and Men in Family in Lavazza Calendar Photos, ″ "Queens and Superheroines in Lavazza Calendars, ″ "Widespread Representation of White Race in Lavazza Calendar Photos, ″ "Italian Cities and Italian Local and National Items in Lavazza Calendars, ″ "Signs of Different Geography, Culture and Life Styles in Lavazza Calendar Photos, ″ and "Lines of Appeal in Lavazza Calendar Photos.'' According to the findings, both non-verbal means of communication in terms of gender and lines of appeal in Lavazza calendar photos in new media have changed over the years. © 2021, IGI Global.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 3Ion Exchange Membranes in Electrodialysis Process for Wastewater Treatment(Elsevier, 2023) Altıok,E.; Cihanoğlu,A.; Güler,E.; Kabay,N.Water is the most important natural resource on earth. Survival without water is impossible and industries cannot operate without water as well. Availability of safe and reliable source of water is therefore essential. Different practical solutions are needed for sustainable preservation of water resources as freshwater resources are limited in terms of technical and economical aspects. Membrane technologies can be applied to water and wastewater treatment for removal of various unwanted substances from water. Recently, the utilization of membrane technologies in the water purification sector has grown exponentially. Compared to conventional reclamation methods, membrane technologies are much more efficient for removal of various contaminants and they are able to overcome more stringent water regulations. Membrane separation processes employed for water treatment include reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, and electrodialysis (ED). In this chapter, we reviewed the basic principles of electromembrane processes, such as ED, electrodeionization, electrodialysis reversal, and bipolar membrane ED based on ion exchange membranes (IEMs) along with few examples of the use of these processes in water and wastewater treatment. In addition, fouling of IEMs is also discussed. © 2024 Elsevier Inc.

Large and irreversible energy investments are usually modelled in real options frameworks with lognormal distributions. This line of research omits two important factors for energy investments. They are the existence of negative cash flows and the impact of business cycles. We developed a unified framework to capture the implications of these omitted features. The framework is based on an arithmetic Brownian motion (ABM) process for the dynamics of cash flows with regime shifts. Our numerical analysis provide results on investment triggering cash flow critical values, probability of investing and optimal investment time. Comparing these results with those obtained under a conventional real option value framework with geometric Brownian motion (GBM) suggests that there are significant differences across these models. The results indicate that ABM investors are more likely to invest within a specified period. Numerical analysis also points that macroeconomic risks are important for investors. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2021, corrected publication 2021.
