Güngör, Haluk; Koçak, Aslı; Maden, Sedat
Phonological awareness is pivotal in language learning, influencing speaking, writing, and listening abilities. Identifying factors that affect reading development is crucial for effective language instruction. This study explores the phonological awareness of A1-level learners of Turkish as a foreign language (TFL), examining how native language backgrounds impact this foundational skill. Ninety-three participants, whose native languages include Arabic, Indonesian, French, Russian, and Kazakh, were assessed using the Phonological Awareness subtest from the Early Literacy Test (EROT). Data analysis employed non-parametric statistical methods, specifically the Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results revealed no statistically significant relationship between gender and phonological awareness, although female participants exhibited higher average scores than males. Among native language groups, Kazakh speakers achieved the highest phonological awareness scores, whereas Indonesian speakers scored the lowest. These findings indicate that a learner’s native language significantly influences their phonological awareness in Turkish. Despite its limited scope, this pilot study underscores the essential role of phonological awareness in developing comprehensive language skills in TFL learners. l.

Prostate cancer (PC) is the most frequent cancer in males, as well as the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths in men. Differences in expression levels of miRNAs were linked with prostat cancer pathogenesis. qPCR was used to evaluate the expression of miR-130b-3p and miR-375 in Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH (n = 20) and PC (n = 22, pre- and post-operative) patients plasma. Relative telomere lengths (RLTs) in genomic DNA isolated from plasma were measured with qPCR, and telomerase activity analyzed by the ELISA method. PSA levels of PC patients were greater than of BPH patients (p = 0.0473). miR-130b-3p and miR-375 levels were significantly lower in pre-operative specimens of PC patients according to BPH (p = 0,0362, p = 0.0168, respectively). Similarly, post-operative miR-375 levels were lower in PC patients than in BPH patients (p = 0.1866). BPH patients had shorter RTLs than PC patients in both pre- (p=0.0438) and post-operative (p=0.0297) specimens. Telomerase activity was higher in PC patients than BPH(p = 0.0129). Interestingly, telomerase activity was further increased after surgery (p = 0.0003). We aim to identify the levels of miR-130b-3p and miR-375 expression and their relationship with telomerase activity in PC patients. Our data suggest that miRNAs and telomere length (TL) with telomerase activity may play a role in regulating prostate tumorgenesis and may be used as biomarkers for PC diagnosis.

Tonyali, Zeliha; Kiral, Adnan; Ergun, Mustafa; Garcia, Reyes
This study investigates the seismic resilience of an existing reinforced concrete (RC) dual-system during the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. The shear wall-frame dual building was designed according to the Turkish guidelines (TEC 2007) and experienced negligible damage during the earthquakes, whereas all neighboring buildings collapsed. The case study building is modeled in SAP2000® adopting a lumped plasticity approach. The 3D building model was subsequently subjected to pushover and nonlinear time-history analyses (NTHAs) using real ground motions recorded during the first and strongest mainshock of the Kahramanmaraş earthquakes ((Formula presented.) = 7.7 Pazarcik earthquake). The results from the NTHAs indicate that the maximum inter-story drift (IDR) ratios on all floors of the case study building remained below the Immediate Occupancy performance level (IDR = 1.0%). Moreover, the dual-system building designed with TEC 2007 survived the earthquakes without damage, even when the design earthquake scenarios exceeded those considered in the new and more stringent TBEC 2018 (i.e. a 475 return period). The limited damage experienced by the RC dual-system building can be largely attributed to its high wall index (WI = 1.5% and 1.84%) and high average lateral stiffness index (H/T ≥45.3), which are above the minimum values (ρ = 0.6% and H/T ≥45) suggested in previous research. This study also highlights the critical importance of site-specific ground motion selection, particularly in the context of Hatay province, where the seismic demands exhibited significant variability and intensity. This study contributes to a better understanding of the resilience of RC shear wall-frame buildings in seismic zones.

Oğur, Yekta Göksel; Yarımkaya, Erkan; Aydemir, Uğur; Kul, Murat
With the increasing presence of autistic students in inclusive schools, understanding the attitudes of physical education (PE) teachers towards teaching these students has become important. The current study aimed to examine the attitudes of PE teachers in inclusive schools towards teaching autistic students using the theory of planned behavior. The participants of this phenomenological-qualitative study were 16 PE teachers who participated in one-on-one semi-structured telephone interviews. The interviews were transcribed for analysis and later analyzed using thematic line-by-line analysis. The findings revealed that the majority of PE teachers in inclusive schools had negative attitudes towards teaching autistic students. Barriers and challenges during teaching autistic students were more dominant for PE teachers than facilitators. The results highlighted the importance of addressing the barriers and challenges that limit the quality of PE teachers’ teaching experiences with autistic students as a way to improve PE teachers’ attitudes and indicated the need to establish an adapted PE teacher definition, especially in countries such as Türkiye.

In this study, the alternan/selenium nanoparticles (Alt/SeNPs) were characterized with respect to their formation, morphology, size, selenium distribution, molecular, crystallographic, and thermal properties using UV–Vis spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, EDAX, FTIR, XRD, DSC and TGA measurements. UV–VIS measurements confirmed the synthesis of nanoparticles by observing a maximum surface plasmon resonance peak at 212 nm. In this study, alternan contributed to stabilizing the dispersion of SeNPs, resulting in a cluster of spherical and well-dispersed nanoparticles ranging in size from 50 to 90 nanometers. Nanoparticles were found to be highly thermally stable and in a nanocrystalline structure. The ABTS and CUPRAC radical scavenging activities of Alt/SeNPs were remarkable (95% and 78% at 4 and 6 mg/mL levels of Alt/SeNPs, respectively). Alt/SeNPs had also good inhibitory activities (3.5–4.0 and 4–15 mm of inhibition zone levels at 5 mg/mL level of Alt/against foodborne pathogenic bacteria and fungi, respectively).

Ari-Arat, Ceren; Cetinkaya, Elif; Oz, Koray
Objectives: Understanding the factors that influence parental acceptance during the preschool period when many children with developmental disabilities are diagnosed is crucial. Mindfulness in parenting is the intentional, nonjudgmental attention a person gives to their child and their parenting actions and is associated with processes of acceptance. This research examines the relationship between parental acceptance and mindfulness in parenting among parents of preschool children with developmental disabilities. Methods: The investigation included 120 parents of preschool-aged children (3–6 years) with developmental disabilities in Turkey. Results: The findings reveal that parental acceptance of children with developmental disabilities varies according to the father’s education level and the child’s age. A significant correlation was found between mindfulness in parenting and parental acceptance. Notably, mindfulness in parenting accounted for approximately 19.2% of the variance in parental acceptance of children with developmental disabilities (R2 = 0.192). Conclusions: The results underscore the importance of interventions aimed at enhancing mindfulness in parenting, particularly in supporting the acceptance processes during the preschool years. This is especially critical for younger children and for fathers with lower educational levels. The study also highlights the need for further research to deepen our understanding of the acceptance process.

This study investigated the botanical origin, chemical composition, phenolic and volatile aromatic profiles, and antioxidant activities of 11 bee bread samples from different regions of Anatolia, Turkey. The bee bread samples contained high amounts of proteins (19.61 g/100 g) and lipids (6.43 g/100 g). The bee breads were determined to have a rich mineral content. The antioxidant potential of the bee breads was predicted using total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), total condensed tannin (TCT) content, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays. The TPC of the bee breads ranged between 2.041 ± 0.170 and 3.224 ± 0.006 mg GAE/g, while the TFC ranged from 0.323 ± 0.004 to 1.903 ± 0.017 mg QE/g. The FRAP assay showed antioxidant activity ranging from 17.778 ± 0.207 to 49.752 ± 0.856 µmol FeSO4.7H2O/g, and the DPPH values were between 1.054 ± 0.009 and 4.366 ± 0.014 SC50 mg/mL. Using 25 standards, RP-HPLC-PDA quantified the composition of the phenolic compounds, attributed to their antioxidant activity. The highest concentrations were detected for t-cinnamic acid, rutin, and p-coumaric acid. One hundred nineteen volatile aromatic compounds were determined in the bee breads by solid-phase microextraction coupled with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (SPME-GC-MS). The obtained values suggest that bee breads could serve as a potential source of nutrients and bioactive compounds for value-added food supplements and functional foods.

There has been an increasing interest in biocatalysts over the past few decades in order to obtain high efficiency, high yield, and environmentally benign procedures aiming at the manufacture of pharmacologically relevant chemicals. Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), a microbial group, can be employed as biocatalysts while performing asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones. In this study, Leuconostoc mesenteroides N6 was used for the asymmetric bioreduction 1-indanone. And then, a novel and innovative face-centered design-based multi-objective optimization model was used to optimize experimental conditions. Also, the experimental design factors were defined as agitation speed, incubation period, pH, and temperature for optimization to acquire the maximum enantiomeric excess (ee) and conversion rate (cr) values. When using the face-centered design-based multi-objective optimization model, the optimum culture conditions corresponded to 96.34 and 99.42%, ee and cr responses, respectively, were pH = 5.87, incubation temperature = 35 °C, incubation period = 50.88 h, and agitation speed = 152.60 rpm. Notably, the validation experiment under the optimum model conditions confirmed the model results. This study demonstrated the importance of the optimization and the efficiency of the face-centered design-based multi-objective model.

Yaylacı, Murat; Öner, Erdal; Adıyaman, Gökhan; Öztürk, Şevval; Uzun Yaylacı, Ecren; Birinci, Ahmet
Contact mechanics analysis is crucial because such problems often arise in engineering practice. When examining contact mechanics, the material property of the contacting components is a crucially significant aspect. It is more complex to solve the contact mechanics of systems that are composed of materials that do not have a homogenous structure compared to materials that have homogeneous qualities throughout. While many studies on contact problems with homogeneous materials exist, those involving non-homogeneous materials are scarce in the literature. As material technology improves fast, there will be a greater need to solve such problems. In this respect, analytical and finite element method (FEM) solutions of the continuous and discontinuous contact problems of a functionally graded (FG) layer are carried out in this article. The FG layer in the problem rests on a rigid foundation and is pressed with a rigid punch. From the solutions, the contact length, contact stress, initial separation distance, and beginning and ending points of separation were determined, and the results were compared. It has been concluded that the FEM findings are consistent with the analytical results to a satisfactory degree. This study analyzes contact problem using different approaches and accounts for the influence of body force in a contact geometry that has yet to be reported.

Uslu, Emin; Tiğli, Ahmet; Çolak, Murat
The mechanical properties of aluminium alloys can be increased by controlling the grain size and morphology of the alloy. In these studies, mechanical vibration, cooling slope plate (CSP), and grain refiner were applied on sand mould casting using A380 alloys. The hardness, and microstructure of the cast samples are investigated. These processes lead to the refinement of grain structures and a decrease in the tendency for dendritic structure formation. The Effect of the solidification time (modulus) on the microstructure is investigated. It was determined that the solidification time varies depending on the section thickness, which affects the SDAS values. It was observed that the lowest SDAS values were in CSP and the highest values were in grain refiners added casting. The lowest hardness value was recorded at CSP casting. Meanwhile, the grain refiner added vibration casting exhibits the highest hardness.

Purpose: Little is known about the relationship between apelin and serotonin in emotion regulation. This study aimed to examine children’s emotional regulation skills and salivary apelin and serotonin levels. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study performed in Türkiye. The research was completed with the participation of 146 children, 8–10 years old, from the general population. Emotion Regulation Skills Scale for Children (CERS) was used to assess children’s levels of emotion regulation skills. Apelin and serotonin levels were examined by ELISA technique in saliva samples obtained from children. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the mean total score of the CERS and the mean apelin and serotonin levels (p ˂.01). We found that females had higher emotion regulation skills compared to males, older higher than younger ones (p ˂.01). The regression analysis results show that age and gender together explain 50.5% of the variance in CERS scores, while apelin and serotonin together explain 35.8% of the variance. When all four variables (age, gender, apelin, and serotonin) are included in the model, they explain 51.3% of the variance in CERS scores. Conclusion: Older age and female gender explained most of emotion regulations skills.Key points It was determined that the average salivary apelin and serotonin levels increased with increased age, and with increased age ERS also increased. More research is needed as this is the first time that the relationship between emotion regulation skills and serotonin and apelin levels has been examined.

Walayat, Noman; Yurdunuseven-Yıldız, Aysun; Kumar, Manoj; Goksen, Gulden; Öztekin, Sebahat; Lorenzo, José Manuel
Vegetable oils are extracted from oilseeds, fruits and other parts of plants. The method used in oil extraction is of great importance, as it affects both the quality of the final product and the environment. It is desirable that the extraction method be minimally costly, fast, environmentally friendly, and produce oil of high quality and quantity. Common oil extraction methods are mechanical pressing and solvent extraction, and these methods have advantages and disadvantages over each other. Mechanical extraction and solvent extraction are controversial due to poor product quality and high environmental impacts. This review presents applications where conventional oil extraction processes are assisted by microwave or ultrasound. It is necessary to evaluate the impact of ultrasound and microwave-assisted extraction on the quality of the extracted oil and also to compare the results with those of conventional extraction methods. For this purpose, this review discusses the effects of microwave and ultrasound-assisted extraction on the physicochemical, oxidation indices, bioactive compounds, and antioxidant properties of oil extracted from oil seeds and fruits. Furthermore, this review provides readers with in-depth information on the mechanisms involved, their use, and the impact of operating conditions. The yield and quality of the oil obtained by these processes can vary depending on parameters such as microwave power, ultrasound power, processing time, and temperature. Finally, the review also discusses the challenges and advantages of the industrial application of these technologies.
