Book Part Citation - Scopus: 1Boundary-Element Method in Microfluidics(Springer Science+Business Media, 2015) Çetin, Barbaros; Baranoğlu, BesimBook 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.

The purpose of the designs is to open rectangular slots on rectangular shaped patch antennas and bring them to the desired operating conditions with parametric analyzes. The designs were carried out by following the same procedure steps using five different dielectric laminate substrate materials, such as RO3003, RT6006, FR4, RO3203, RO6010, and one denim fabric base material. The antennas were compared in terms of return loss, gain and radiation characteristics. Except for the antenna designed with RO3203 at certain values of rectangular slots, radiation at multiple frequencies was obtained at 5G frequencies. With the proposed method, improvement was observed for return loss and bandwidth characteristics in the RO3203 based antenna. This study will be a resource for antenna researchers by revealing the responses of different substrate materials to the same design method for 5G bands in patch antennas. © 2024 IEEE.Article Barriers to Adherence After A Self-Management Lymphedema Education Program Among Women with Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2026) Uçar, G.C.; Kapucu, S.; Arıkan Dönmez, A.A.; Ozdemir, O.; Dönmez, Ayşe A.Objectives: – Lymphedema associated with breast cancer is a chronic condition that negatively affects women’s physical functioning, psychosocial well-being, and quality of life. Although self-management education is a fundamental component of lymphedema care, many women struggle to maintain recommended practices in daily life over time. To explore how women with breast cancer-related lymphedema integrate self-management education into daily life over time and to identify barriers to sustained adherence 1 year or more after completing a self-management lymphedema education program (SMLEP). Methods: – A descriptive phenomenological qualitative design was used. In-depth, semistructured interviews were conducted with 17 women diagnosed with breast cancer-related lymphedema. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: – Two overarching themes were identified: problems caused by lymphedema and barriers to self-management. Problems included limitations in activities of daily living, pain, restricted social participation, and body image disturbance. Barriers included economic difficulties, decreased belief in treatment effectiveness, boredom and forgetfulness, lack of family support, absence of monitoring mechanisms, use of the dominant arm, and symptom regression. Conclusions: – Women with breast cancer-related lymphedema face interconnected physical, emotional, and contextual challenges that limit long-term self-management adherence beyond knowledge deficits alone. © 2026Conference Object Need for a Software Development Methodology for Research-Based Software Projects(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Cereci,I.; Karakaya,Z.Software development is mostly carried by a group of individuals. Software development methodologies are heavily utilized to organize these individuals and keep track of the entire software development process. Although previously proposed software development methodologies meet the needs of the industry and the firms, they are not usually suitable for research-based software projects that are carried by universities and individual researchers. In this paper, we aim to show the necessity of a new software development methodology for research-based problems carried by universities. The literature review will show the differences between industry and university software projects from certain aspects. These findings will be supported by the authors own research on the area. This qualitative research involves collecting data through interviews and applying Grounded Theory to better understand the development process. © 2018 IEEE.Book Part Fostering Prosperity: Unveiling the Impact of Governance Quality on Gdp Per Capita in Oecd Nations(IGI Global, 2024) Kayral, I˙.E.; Altan, H.P.; Gontijo, T.S.This study aims to investigate the influence of the quality of governance on economic development among 38 OECD countries using a panel data approach. The data was gathered from the World Bank database for the period of 2002-2021 and consists of six governance indicators and two macroeconomic variables. The independent variables are the six governance indicators (WGI): control of corruption (CC), government effectiveness (GE), political stability and absence of violence/terrorism (PS), rule of law (RL), regulatory quality (RQ), and voice and accountability (VA). The dependent variable is the natural logarithm of GDP per capita, and inflation and real interest rates are control variables. The research identifies a direct and significant relationship between GDPPC and GE, PS, RL, RQ, and VA in OECD countries. These findings suggest that the existence of mechanisms for GE, PS, RL, RQ, and VA contribute positively to economic development. Moreover, interest rates and inflation are found to be significant and negatively related to GDPPC. © 2025, IGI Global.

Creep and shrinkage strains of 60 specimens were monitored for up to two years. The variables considered in this investigation were the concrete compressive strength, specimen size, curing type, age of concrete at loading, and loading stress level. Research findings indicate that the current American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications could be used to estimate the creep coefficient and shrinkage strain of HSC up to 15 ksi (103 MPa). However, the current AASHTO LRFD specifications do not provide appropriate predictions for concrete compressive strength greater than 15 ksi (103 MPa). A revised time-development correction factor is proposed to obtain better predictions for HSC up to 18 ksi (124 MPa). For HSC compression members, the current AASHTO LRFD specifications require an excessive amount of minimum longitudinal reinforcement to account for the long-term effects due to shrinkage and creep. Based on an analysis, a new relationship is proposed for the required minimum reinforcement ratio.Article Legalizing Anti-Gender Ideology and Civil Society Resistance in Turkey(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Keysan, Asuman Ozgur; Özgür Keysan, AsumanThis study investigates how feminist, LGBTQI+, labour, and human rights organisations in Turkey frame and negotiate the legal institutionalisation of anti-gender ideology and how these processes generate strategic yet fragile cross-movement alliances. Drawing on Benford and Snow's framing theory and Yuval-Davis's transversal politics, the analysis is based on semi-structured interviews conducted with activists from ten organisations between April and June 2025 and organisational documents. The study conceptualises anti-gender politics in Turkey not as a societal backlash but as a state-driven, multi-layered project of "masculinist entrenchment (Yetis, & Ozd & uuml;zen, 2024)" that restructures legal, ideological, and affective arenas. The findings demonstrate that activists increasingly reframe anti-gender assaults as systemic attacks on democracy, rights, and equality, producing a shift from issue-based coordination to what this article terms "strategic coexistence", a hybrid alliance formed across previously distant ideological and organisational positions. Diagnostic framing identifies anti-gender reforms as an existential threat, prognostic framing centres on alliance-building, movement memory, and inclusive organisational practices and motivational framing foregrounds shared destiny, solidarity, and the symbolic significance of LGBTQI+ rights. The analysis reveals that while this recontextualisation widens the basis for coalition, the resulting alliance remains structurally unbalanced and fragile. Hierarchical power relations, uneven exposure to political risk, and selective silence, particularly regarding LGBTQI+ concerns, limit the depth and durability of alliances. In this context, LGBTQI+ rights serve both as a catalyst for broad-based mobilisation and as a litmus test for democratic commitment, disclosing the limitations of transversal solidarity under authoritarian regimes.Conference Object
