Article Queer Lives in the Social Media Prism: Precarious LGBTQIA Plus Visibility and Lateral Surveillance in Azerbaijan(Sage Publications Inc, 2025) Seyidov, Ilgar; Pentzold, ChristianIn countries where state institutions and the public largely reject LGBTQIA+ identities and issues, queer people struggle with visibility. Next to governments and technology providers, what queer people do, who they connect to, and how they express themselves is being watched and scrutinized by their families and proximate relations. This lateral surveillance is afforded by social media that establish, as we argue in this article, a prism. Here, LGBTQIA+ lives become refracted as extensive though incoherent patterns of digital traces. How queer people respond to this situation where the binary of visible versus invisible falls apart is poorly understood. To address that gap, we interrogate the precarious management of visibility attempted by LGBTQIA+ people in Azerbaijan with its heteropatriarchal, honor-driven culture. Based on our exploratory interview study, we find that queer Azerbaijanis were confronted with a highly ambivalent scopic setup where context collision loomed large. In effect, they supported LGBTQIA+ visibility but had personally decided not to live or promote it. Yet whilst their attempts to remain opaque may contradict their activistic compliancy, this was a logical reaction to too hard to handle terms of visibility.Article Trends and Scientific Evolution in Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) Research: A Comprehensive Bibliometric Study Using Vosviewer(Sage Publications Inc, 2026) Sever, Sinem Nur; Oktem, Hale; Jamil, Yusuf; Pelin, CanBackground: Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become a standard treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysms. However, the evolution of EVAR research and its global landscape remain underexplored. This bibliometric analysis aims to map publication trends, identify key contributors, and analyze thematic shifts in EVAR literature over the past three decades.Methods: Data were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection (SCIE) in May 2025. A total of 4264 original research articles on EVAR were analyzed using VOSviewer for co-authorship, co-citation, and keyword co-occurrence mapping. Citation trends, geographical distribution, and institutional contributions were also assessed.Results: Research on EVAR showed steady growth, with a peak of 295 publications in 2024. The United States contributed the largest share (33.02%) of publications. Prolific authors such as Schermerhorn and Verhagen, affiliated with leading institutions like Harvard University, played a pivotal role in advancing the field. Keyword analysis revealed a shift from technical terms (e.g., "stent graft") to clinical outcomes (e.g., "reintervention") over time. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in EVAR research is emerging as a key focus area.Conclusion: This study highlights the growth and evolving focus of EVAR research, with a notable shift toward patient-centered outcomes. Despite strong contributions from high-income countries, there is a significant gap in research from low-resource settings. Future directions should include addressing gaps in radiation safety, emergency EVAR applications, and exploring AI-driven clinical decision-making for personalized treatments. Complex EVAR research continues expanding, reflecting guideline evolution and advancing practice in anatomically challenging cases.Clinical Impact This bibliometric analysis demonstrates how EVAR has progressed from an emerging minimally invasive technique to a guideline driven standard of care, with a growing emphasis on complex fenestrated and branched procedures. For clinicians, the findings clarify where the evidence base is well established, particularly for standard infrarenal EVAR, and where further caution and innovation are required, including complex anatomies, long term durability, and reintervention risk. By synthesizing influential studies, key guideline milestones, and evolving research themes, this study supports evidence based clinical decision making, improves patient counseling, and reinforces the importance of lifelong surveillance. Its innovation lies in translating three decades of global research into clinically actionable insight.Article Creative Design Engineering Education for Human-Society Integrated Intelligent Systems(Sage Publications Inc, 2026) Erden, Zuhal; Erden, AbdulkadirThe essence and vital roots of scientific activities create theoretical propositions and models that provide unique integrity of the associated concepts, definitions, approaches and methodological components. Design engineering education has made great progress to date by integrating modern methods and tools into the existing process models focused on unique curriculum programs for students' progress during various scientific and technical levels. Contemporary and integrated socio-scientific environments, however, are generally more productive and initiative for future success stories of engineering graduates with high qualifications and science/technology-motivated professional life. Today's global transition from the "industrial-digital age" to the "sustainable knowledge economy and digital society" opens a new path for design engineering education, enforcing a paradigm shift towards training creative professionals who develop and implement new knowledge in real-world social environments. This paper presents and discusses the models, methods and tools to establish a road-map into next-generation creative design engineering education paradigm.
