    Eski Uygurcadan Modern Yazı Dillerine Bir Dilbilgiselleşme Tipi: İsim + İyelik + Bulunma Durumu

    Güzel, Ferdi; Azili, Kenan

    Eski Türkçe dönemi, Türkçenin ilk tanıklanan dillik malzemesine sahip bir evre olarak dilbilgiselleşme açısından üretken tarihsel yazı dillerini kapsamaktadır. Özellikle tercüme eserlerin verildiği Eski Uygur çevrelerinde üretilen metinlerde, kaynak dildeki ifadeleri karşılamak üzere kullanılan çeşitli dilbilgisel görevdeki dikkat çekici kimi yapılara rastlanmaktadır. Bunlar arasında bilhassa edatlar, türetim ve kullanım şekilleri açısından bir hayli çeşitlilik göstermektedir. İsim ve fiil köklerinin çeşitli biçim birimler ile dilbilgiselleşme sürecine girmesi sonucu ortaya çıkan çok sayıda yapının farklı kavramsal ilişkilerle meydana geldiği görülmektedir. Bu kavramsal ilişkiler, ortaya çıkan yeni yapıların söz dizimsel görevlerini belirleyici rol üstlenmektedir. Uygur metinlerinde durum morfemleriyle beraber, iyelik çekiminden oluşan özel yapıların oluşturduğu bir grup görevli sözcük tespit edilmektedir. Bu formların isim+3. tk. iyelik+bulunma durumu yoluyla türetildiği, dilbilgiselleşme süreci ile birlikte çeşitli kategorilerde görev aldığı ve birçok kavramsal ilişkiyi taşıdığı görülmektedir. Bu makalede, geç tarihli Uygurca metinlerde kullanılan küçintä, tıltagınta, tüşintä, ugrınta, yolınta ve el(i)gintä gibi dilbilgiselleşmiş biçimler, sözdizimsel ve kategorik ilişkiler bakımından ele alınacaktır. Biçimlerin ortak türetilme yolundan hareketle, kategorik değerleri üzerine odaklanılacak, biçimsel ve karakteristik özellikleri belirlenecektir. Bu aşamada, modern yazı dillerindeki örneklerle karşılaştırılarak Türkçedeki süreklilikleri irdelenecektir. Böylece, Eski Türkçeden modern Türk yazı dillerine kadar devam eden bir dilbilgiselleşme stratejisi olarak bu yapıların genel sınıflandırmadaki konumu tayin edilmeye çalışılacaktır.

    Akademik Akıl ile İnanan Kalbin Sentezi: İlahiyat Öğrencileri İçin Kur’an ile İlişki Ölçeği’nin (Kiö) Geliştirilmesi

    Süheyb, Okur

    İlahiyat eğitimi, doğası gereği öğrencileri “akademik aklın” eleştirel disiplini ile “inanan kalbin” manevi teslimiyeti arasında karmaşık bir sentez kurmaya zorlamaktadır. Ancak mevcut literatürdeki ölçme araçları, öğrencilerin Kur'an-ı Kerim ile kurdukları bu çok katmanlı ilişkiyi genellikle “okuma sıklığı” gibi davranışsal boyutta ele almakta, varoluşsal ve entelektüel bütünleşmeyi ölçmekte yetersiz kalmaktadır. Bu çalışma, ilahiyat fakültesi öğrencilerinin Kur'an-ı Kerim ile kurdukları ilişkinin doğasını; manevi yönelim, akademik ilgi ve bu iki alanın bütünleşmesi ekseninde değerlendirebilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Metodolojik araştırma desenine sahip çalışmanın verileri, 2025-2026 eğitim-öğretim yılı güz döneminde Bayburt Üniversitesi İlahiyat Fakültesinde öğrenim gören lisans öğrencilerinden iki aşamalı olarak toplanmıştır. Ölçek geliştirme sürecinde, 161 öğrenciden elde edilen verilerle açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA), 288 öğrenciden elde edilen verilerle ise doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, toplam varyansın %63,214’ünü açıklayan, 13 madde ve üç alt boyuttan (Manevi Yönelim, Bütünleşme, Akademik İlgi) oluşan psikometrik açıdan güçlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, modelin mükemmel uyum iyiliği değerlerine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir (χ²/sd= 2.471, RMSEA=.072, CFI=.942). Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık katsayısı (Cronbach Alpha) ise .884 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak literatüre kazandırılan “Kur'an ile İlişki Ölçeği (KİÖ)”, öğrencilerin Kur’an’ı Kerim ile kurdukları ilişkiyi sadece teknik bir okuma eylemi olarak değil, akademik merak ve manevi huşunun iç içe geçtiği bütüncül bir tecrübe olarak ölçme imkânı sunmaktadır.

    Phytochemical profile, antioxidant potential, and cytotoxic effect of the ethanol extract of Micromeria fruticosa

    Çakır, Özlem; Topcu, Kübra Cinar; Anlar, Pinar

    In this study, the ethanol extract of dried Micromeria fruticosa (L.) Druce, commercially sourced from the Tortum Valley (Erzurum Province), was comprehensively analysed to evaluate its bioactive potential. Considering that geographical origin and botanical differences significantly influence phytochemical composition and biological activity, the use of locally sourced commercial samples provides valuable data for plant standardisation and comparative studies. The total antioxidant activity of the extract was determined as 8.84±0.10, 4.96 ±0.05, 34.64 ±0.69, and 18.27 ±0.11 mg TE/g dry weight by DPPH, FRAP, CUPRAC, and ABTS assays, respectively. The total phenolic content was 26.25 mg GAE/g dry weight, and LC-MS/MS analysis revealed a high quinic acid content (93.395 mg/g). ICP-MS analysis showed high levels of essential minerals (Na, Mg, K, Ca, Fe, and Al), while toxic elements such as Cd, Te, and Tl were below the limit of detection, and Pb and Ba were present at very low concentrations. Additionally, the extract significantly reduced A549 lung cancer cell viability in a dose-dependent manner. Overall, Tortum Valley–derived M. fruticosa represents a promising natural bioactive source, and this study highlights the impact of local botanical and environmental variations on the biological activity of the same plant species.

    Assessment of The Relationship Between Telomere Length and Physiological Parameters in Cattle Infected with Bovine Leukosis Virus

    Ince, Omer Baris; Bayraktar, Bülent; Tezcan, Erdem; Korkmaz, Serol; Sait, Ahmet

    The study aims to investigate the relationship between relative telomere lengths and various physiological parameters in cattle infected with bovine leukosis virus, as well as to identify the risk factors associated with cow-level bovine leukosis virus infection in dairy cattle in Türkiye. Three variables—age, parity, and body condition score—were used for risk assessment. Antibodies specific to bovine leukosis virus were detected using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and relative telomere lengths were measured by polymerase chain reaction. The highest seropositivity rate (39.13%) was observed in cattle with a body condition score of 3–3.5 and aged between 2–8 years. relative telomere length was found to be positively correlated with seropositivity, advanced age, and parity, while a negative correlation was observed between seropositivity and body condition score. Relative telomere lengths in bovine leukosis virus-infected cattle were significantly shorter (P < 0.05) than those in non-infected cattle. Among body condition score groups, the shortest relative telomere lengths were found in bovine leukosis virus-infected cattle with body condition score ≤ 2.5 and in non-infected cattle with body condition score 3–3.5. Regarding age groups, the shortest relative telomere lengths were observed in bovine leukosis virus-infected cattle older than 8 years (P < 0.05), as well as in non-infected cattle of the same age group (P < 0.05). In conclusion, relative telomere lengths in bovine leukosis virus-infected cattle were found to be significantly shorter than in non-infected cattle (P < 0.05). The shortest relative telomere lengths were recorded in both bovine leukosis virus-infected and non-infected cattle over 8 years of age (P < 0.05). Finally, the association between bovine leukosis virus infection and relative telomere lengths, along with other factors such as age, parity, and body condition score, is considered potentially useful for disease control and prevention programs.

    Maden, Asli; Soylu, Şeymanur

    Bilim ve teknolojideki gelişmeler, insan yaşamında birçok değişikliği beraberinde getirmiştir. Bunlardan biri de okuryazarlık becerileridir. Teknolojinin araç ve ortamlar açısından sunduğu imkânlar özellikle dijital okuryazarlık becerilerinin önemini artırmaktadır. Günümüzde dijital okuryazarlık artık dil eğitimine konu olmuş ve program hazırlarken dikkate alınır hâle gelmiştir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmada, Türkiye Maarif Vakfı tarafından hazırlanan Türkçenin Yabancı Dil Olarak Öğretimi Programı’nın (2020) dijital okuryazarlık bağlamında incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. A1, A2, B1ve B2 dil düzeylerindeki beceri alanlarında dijital okuryazarlıkla ilgili kazanımların bulunup bulunmadığı incelenmiştir. Kazanımların dil becerilerine nasıl dağıtıldığı değerlendirilmiştir. Nitel araştırma yöntemine göre yürütülen araştırmada doküman analizi tekniği uygulanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ise içerik analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda; programda dil düzeylerine göre dijital okuryazarlığa yönelik öğrenme-öğretme sürecine dair çeşitli açıklamalar yer aldığı yine dil beceri alanlarında kazanımlara yer verildiği ancak bu kazanımların sayıca yetersiz olduğu, dengeli dağılım göstermediği belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca dinleme/izleme, yazma, okuma ve sözlü üretim beceri alanındaki kazanımlarda dijital okuryazarlığın daha çok yer bulduğu da tespit edilmiştir.

    Torul ilçesinin idari yapısı ve nüfus dinamikleri üzerinden tarihsel-güncel bir analiz

    Göktaş, Serdar

    Torul, Karadeniz Bölgesi’nin iç kesimlerinde yer alan ve Gümüşhane iline bağlı, tarihî ve coğrafi açıdan önemli bir ilçedir. Tarihi İpek Yolu’nun önemli bir kesişme noktası ve güzergâhı olan Torul, bu geçmişten gelen kritik rolüne rağmen günümüzde coğrafyasının da yarattığı dezavantajlarla birlikte halkının beklentisi olan büyüme ve gelişme ivmesini bir türlü yakalayamamıştır. Şüphesiz bu ivmenin yakalanama-masının sebeplerinin tarihsel bir geçmişle birlikte ele alınması zorunluluğu bulunmaktadır. Coğrafi dezavantajı, bağlı olduğu sancak ve vilayet merkezlerinin uzaklığı, tarih boyunca yaşadığı idari değişiklikler, Torul tarihinin ve günümüzdeki durumunun belirleyicileri olmuşlardır. Bu makale, Torul ilçesinin idari taksimatının tarihsel seyrini ve güncel yapısını detaylıca incelerken, demografik hareketlerini ve bunların ilçenin sosyo-ekonomik durumu üzerindeki etkilerini analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, özellikle Erken Cumhuriyet dönemindeki idari parçalanmışlıktan, nüfusun zirveye ulaştığı 1960-1980 dönemine ve sonrasındaki yoğun dış göç ile idari küçülmenin bölge sosyo-ekonomik yapısı üzerindeki kalıcı etkilerine odaklanmaktadır. Veriler, arşiv belgeleri, dönemsel salnameler, Genel Nüfus Sayımları, bölgesel monografiler ve güncel TÜİK verileri ışığında karşılaştırmalı bir analiz sunmaktadır.

    A moderated mediation model of AI acceptance in healthcare: Perceived AI usage competence, AI trust, and AI anxiety

    Kılınç, Mehmet

    This study examined whether perceived AI usage competence is associated with AI acceptance in healthcare and whether this association is mediated by AI trust and moderated by AI anxiety. A cross-sectional, correlational survey design was used. Data were collected online from 422 adults in Türkiye who had used healthcare services within the previous six months. Perceived AI usage competence was modeled as the independent variable, AI trust as the mediating variable, AI acceptance in healthcare as the outcome variable, and AI anxiety as the moderating variable. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, Pearson correlation analysis, and Hayes PROCESS Macro Model 8 were used to analyze the data. The findings indicated that perceived AI usage competence was positively associated with AI trust and AI acceptance in healthcare, and AI trust was positively associated with AI acceptance. The trust-mediated indirect association between perceived AI usage competence and AI acceptance was statistically significant. AI anxiety moderated both the competence–trust association and the direct competence–acceptance association, with weaker associations observed at higher levels of AI anxiety. Overall, the findings suggest that AI acceptance in healthcare is related not only to perceived technical competence but also to psychosocial factors such as trust and anxiety.

    Market-based financial literacy under macro-financial and political risk conditions: A rolling ARX–PCA proxy index for the BIST 100

    Kuzu, Mehmet; Kocaoğlu, Fatih

    This study develops a time-varying Market-Based Financial Literacy Proxy Index (MBFLPI) for Borsa İstanbul's BIST 100 index. The term financial literacy is retained in a restricted sense: MBFLPI is an indirect, outcome-based market proxy, not a direct score of investors' knowledge, skills, attitudes or behaviour. Using actual BIST sessions from 1 August 2013 to 30 January 2026, a 252-session rolling ARX relates USD-denominated returns to Türkiye's two-year government bond yield, conservatively lagged industrial production, the five-year sovereign CDS, and the VIX. It derives benchmark macro-financial alignment, low first-order return predictability and model-based residual stability; rolling PCA combines the diagnostics, and the composite is rescaled to 0–100 for ex post presentation. Sensitivity analysis varies the window, aggregation, calibration, return denomination and normalisation. Event movements are descriptive associations, not evidence of causal transmission. Published Türkiye evidence provides an external benchmark: pre-sample S&P and OECD/INFE–Capital Markets Board reports supply historical context, whereas fieldwork-matched TEB–Boğaziçi University and FODER–Visa Türkiye/Ipsos surveys and monthly Capital Markets Board investor statistics yield mixed or null evidence. The comparison does not support convergent validity. MBFLPI therefore remains a complementary market-level proxy rather than a substitute for survey-based financial literacy.

    Social Identity in Team Sports: A Quantitative Study of University Student-Athletes

    Çakır, Zekai; Uğurlu, Döndü; Sengonül, Abdullah; Yel, Kader; Güzel, Sema; Yaman, Menzure Sibel; Aktoklu, Sevda; Dilek, Ahmet Naci; Gürbüz, Cihan

    The predominance of psychological approaches in sport-related social identity research highlights the need to examine social identity within a broader sociological framework, particularly in the context of team sports. This study aims to investigate the levels of social identity among university students engaged in team sports and to determine whether these levels differ across various demographic and sport-related variables. Rather than conducting a process-oriented qualitative analysis, this study examines social identity quantitatively through measured social identity levels and selected demographic and sport-related variables. The study used a quantitative descriptive survey design with a sample of 266 university students participating in amateur-level team sports. Data were collected using a personal information form and the Social Identity Questionnaire for Sport, and analysed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t-tests, one-way ANOVA, and Spearman’s correlation analysis. The findings indicated that participants’ social identity levels were close to moderate. While no significant differences were observed with respect to gender and age, significant differences were found in favour of participants who held leadership roles, engaged in out-of-team social interaction, and had longer sport experience, as well as across different sport branches (p < .05). Furthermore, a positive and significant relationship was identified between sport experience and social identity levels. In conclusion, social identity in team sports appears to be more closely associated with social interaction, in-group roles, and accumulated sport experience than with individual demographic characteristics.

    Global Financial Architecture Under Geopolitical, Financial and Policy Pressures: A Capacity-Pressure Index of Financial Resilience

    Kuzu, Mehmet; Kocaoglu, Fatih

    Financial resilience depends on both prevailing pressures and the resources available to maintain financial functions. This study proposes a Global Financial Resilience Index (GFRI) that combines selected structural indicators with the inverse of geopolitical, policy, and market pressures. The formal retrospective sample covers January 2000-June 2026; July-August extensions are reported separately. Fixed-reference standardisation and geometric aggregation produce a transparent capacity-pressure composite, not a measure of environmental, social or intergenerational sustainability. Fixed-basket comparisons retain some capacity improvement, but a balanced five-indicator panel covers only 20 economies and 12.4-16.0% of global GDP. Country selection and calibration alter the pandemic-era ranking. The OECD growth-cycle mean difference is -8.30 points with HAC(12) p = 0.055. Classification AUC is 0.658, with a 12-month block-bootstrap 95% interval of 0.468-0.821, and does not improve on matched stress benchmarks. The incremental explanatory power of industrial production is negligible. Weight simulations and publication-lag tests reveal uncertainty in material construction. The index offers a reproducible description of selected capacity and pressure conditions; the evidence does not support operational policy bands, superior crisis prediction or comprehensive sustainability claims.

    ECONOMIC POLICY UNCERTAINTY AND HOUSING INVESTMENTS: AN EMPIRICAL VAR ANALYSIS FOR THE EURO AREA (EA-19)

    Tunçay, Cenap Mengu; Akar, Nuri Cagri

    The housing sector is considered one of the key factors of macroeconomic fluctuations. Consequently, analyzing the scale of housing investments within economies and identifying the primary drivers influencing these investments is of major importance. Since one of the variables determining investments is uncertainty, and housing investments are affected by uncertainty, it is important to determine to what extent uncertainty has an impact on housing investments. While many studies have examined the effect of uncertainty on housing prices and returns, the effect on housing investments has rarely been discussed. The dynamic impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) on housing investments remains nearly unmentioned in the Euro Area-19 (EA-19). According to Real Options Theory, uncertainty leads to investment delays. If this relationship holds for the housing market, new construction investments should fluctuate in response to uncertainty, meaning that dwellings, which can serve as a proxy indicator for housing investments, may be affected by uncertainty. Therefore, this study investigates the relationship between the Europe-wide EPU Index and the EA-19 Dwellings Index by using monthly data (1994 M2-2023 M8). In the literature, this study is the first article to investigate the dynamic relationship between EPU and housing investments for EA-19 by performing Vector Autoregression (VAR) analysis. Based on the VAR analysis, the EPU index produces virtually no statistically significant effect on the dwellings index in the EA-19, although a unidirectional Granger causality from EPU to housing investment is detected. Based on this result, it is also possible to claim that political uncertainties in the EA-19 may not be one of the reasons for economic fluctuations due to housing investments. This study contributes to further research in this field, as it is the first study analyzing the effect of EPU on housing investments in the EA-19.

    Yİ-DARBOUX SLANT HELICES ON SURFACES

    Tosun, Ceyda; Kocayigit, Huseyin; Aydin, Tuba agirman

    In this study, a new class of surface curves, namely Yi-Darboux slant helices, is investigated. The conditions under which a surface curve is a iY-Darboux slant helix with respect to the Osculating Darboux (OD), Normal Darboux (ND), and Rectifying Darboux (RD) frames are established, and several characterizations are obtained. In particular, necessary and sufficient conditions are derived in terms of the curvature functions associated with these frames. Furthermore, relationships between iY-Darboux slant helices and classical helices and slant helices are established for special surface curves, including geodesics, asymptotic curves, and lines of curvature. Concrete examples on conical and cylindrical surfaces are also presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

    The Role of the Amālfi Qasida in the Transmission of Māturfidfi Thought and Its Classıcısm

    Sever, Mehmet

    This article analyzes the role of Ab & umacr;'l-Hasan `Al & imacr; al-& Umacr;sh & imacr;'s (d. 575/1179) Em & amacr;l & imacr; Qasida (al-Qas & imacr;dat al-l & amacr;miyya / Bad'al-Am & amacr;l & imacr;) in the transmission and canonization of M & amacr;tur & imacr;d & imacr; thought within the Ahl al-Sunnah tradition. Although Maturidism was systematized by Im & amacr;m M & amacr;tur & imacr;d & imacr; (d. 333/944) in the Hanaf & imacr; intellectual environment of Transoxiana, the survival of only a limited portion of his works meant that the school's doctrines were carried mainly by later scholars and concise didactic texts. Among these, the Em & amacr;l & imacr; Qasida became one of the most effective instruments for teaching, memorizing, and stabilizing M & amacr;tur & imacr;d & imacr; creed across centuries and regions. The study situates the Em & amacr;l & imacr; within the broader M & amacr;tur & imacr;d & imacr; textual heritage, alongside major works such as Hak & imacr;m al-Samarqand & imacr;'s al-Saw & amacr;d al-a`zam, Ab & umacr;'l-Mu`& imacr;n al-Nasaf & imacr;'s al-Tamh & imacr;d and al-Tabsira, al-S & amacr;b & umacr;n & imacr;'s al-Bid & amacr;ya and al-Kif & amacr;ya, and `Umar al-Nasaf & imacr;'s al-`Aq & amacr;'id. While these extensive treatises provide systematic theological exposition, the Em & amacr;l & imacr; offers, in 67 verses, a tightly structured summary of core doctrines. It addresses themes such as divine unity and attributes, the createdness of the Qur'& amacr;n, ru'yat All & amacr;h, human acts and divine justice, prophecy and miracles, the virtues of the Rightly Guided Caliphs, the status of the Companions, the nature of faith and takf & imacr;r, death, resurrection, and eschatology. Its allusive use of had & imacr;th material reflects al-& Umacr;sh & imacr;'s training as a traditionist and reinforces the poem's pedagogical utility. The text also preserves the polemical voice of the Samarqand-based Hanafi-M & amacr;turidi tradition, especially in its criticisms of Mu'tazili positions. The article employs historical-textual analysis combined with a reception-history approach. By examining commentaries, glosses, and translations in Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, Persian, and Urdu, and by identifying the geographical origins of commentators, the study reconstructs the poem's diffusion from Central Asia to Syria, Egypt, Anatolia, the Balkans, and the Indian subcontinent. The Ottoman period emerges as a crucial phase in which the Em & amacr;li became widely taught, memorized, and commented upon. In particular, its inclusion in the curricula of the reformed D & amacr;r & uuml;'l-Hil & acirc;fe madrasas as the introductory text for teaching tawhid illustrates its institutionalized role as a representative statement of M & amacr;turidi creed. Based on this reconstruction, the article argues that the Em & amacr;li Qasida functioned not only as a concise catechism but also as a canonical marker of M & amacr;turidi identity. Its constant reproduction, commentary, and even polemical modification by opponents signal that it achieved the status of a classic-a text perceived as indispensable for the articulation of Hanafi-M & amacr;turidi orthodoxy. The commentary tradition shows how different regions and periods reinterpreted the same core text, thus revealing both continuity and controlled adaptation within the M & amacr;turidi intellectual world. In conclusion, the article suggests that the Em & amacr;li Qasida remains essential for understa As a concise yet richly layered doctrinal text with a vast commentary tradition, it offers a coherent entry point for re-establishing a foundational M & amacr;turidi canon within contemporary studies of the History of Islamic Sects.

    Comparison of Eating Behaviours, Anthropometric Measures, and Malnutrition Risk in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder and Other Developmental Disabilities

    Esgin, Ozge; Ari-Arat, Ceren; Yilmaz, Gulsum; Hamitoglu, Aysun

    Purpose This study examined differences in eating behaviours, anthropometric indicators, and malnutrition risk among children aged 5-16 years with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities (DD), including Down syndrome, developmental language disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods This study was carried out using a cross-sectional design and included 220 children attending special education and rehabilitation centres: 97 autistic children (girls: 26, boys: 71) and 123 children with other developmental disabilities (DD; girls: 44, boys: 79). The DD group comprised children with Down syndrome (n = 52, 42.3%), developmental language disorder (n = 58, 47.2%), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; n = 13, 10.6%). Results Autistic children differed from children with other developmental disabilities in both growth patterns and eating behaviour profiles. Height-for-age z-scores were higher in children with ASD than in those with Down syndrome (DS) and developmental language disorder (DLD) (p=.01). Autistic children showed higher Food Fussiness scores than children with DS (p<.05). Associations between eating behaviours and BMI-for-age varied according to diagnostic group (all interaction p<.05). In other developmental disability groups, eating behaviours also varied according to BMI-for-age categories and malnutrition risk (p<.05). Among autistic children, malnutrition risk was associated with higher Food Responsiveness and Slowness in Eating scores (p<.05). Conclusion This study showed that eating behaviours, anthropometric measurements, and malnutrition risk vary among children with ASD and diagnostically distinct developmental disability subgroups, underscoring the importance of individualised, diagnosis-informed nutritional assessment and monitoring.

    Reading comprehension self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving in primary education: a serial mediation model through mathematical reasoning and critical thinking

    Filiz, Tunahan; Kaplan, Kadir

    Introduction Mathematical problem-solving is fundamental for academic success and real-life challenges and involves more than procedural and computational skills. As most primary school mathematics problems are text-based, reading comprehension self-efficacy may be closely associated with students' performance in mathematical problem-solving. Grounded in Albert Bandura's social cognitive theory, this study examined the associations between reading comprehension self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving, focusing on the sequential indirect associations involving of mathematical reasoning and critical thinking.Methods A quantitative, correlational research design was employed. The sample consisted of 518 fourth-grade students from 14 provinces across seven regions of T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using validated scales measuring reading comprehension self-efficacy, critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and mathematical problem-solving skills. Data were analyzed using correlation analysis and regression-based mediation analysis.Results The findings revealed that mathematical reasoning and critical thinking partially accounted for the association between reading comprehension self-efficacy and mathematical problem-solving. The findings indicated significant indirect effects through critical thinking skills (beta = 0.18, K2 = 0.23), mathematical reasoning skills (beta = 0.04, K2 = 0.19), and the sequential pathway from mathematical reasoning to critical thinking (beta = 0.01, K2 = 0.03). Although the sequential mediation effect was statistically significant, its effect size was relatively small compared with the individual mediation effects, particularly that of critical thinking skills.Discussion These results highlight the interconnected roles of foundational cognitive processes in relation to higher-order mathematical problem-solving skills. The study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the relevance of considering reading comprehension self-efficacy, mathematical reasoning, and critical thinking as interconnected factors in early mathematics education.

    The main objective of this study is to investigate the symmetric and asymmetric linkages between gold, a traditional investment instrument, and Bitcoin, often referred to as the digital gold of cryptocurrencies, and to determine their direction and magnitude. Forthis purpose, the study examines cointegration relationships amongthe variables using weekly data from January 2, 2022, to April 5, 2026. According to the Engle & Granger (1987) cointegration test, there is no long-term relationship between the variables. However, the Granger &Yoon (2002) hidden cointegration test determined hidden cointegration relationships from the gold's positive components to the Bitcoin's positive components and from the Bitcoin's positive components to the gold's negative components. Subsequently, longterm coefficients are estimated using FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR estimators. The results show that a 1% increase in gold's positive shocks leads to approximately a 0.92%-0.95% decrease in Bitcoin's positive shocks. A 1% increase in Bitcoin's positive shocks results in approximately a 0.08%-0.10% increase in gold's negative shocks. The estimation results show that increases in gold prices significantly constrain the rise in Bitcoin prices, but the impact of Bitcoin price increases on gold price decreases remains limited. Finally, the findings demonstrate that gold's market-making capacity as a traditional investment vehicle is stronger than that of modern financial investment vehicles.

    Analyzing IPO Performance on Borsa Istanbul: A Hybrid Econometric and Machine Learning Framework (2013-2025)

    Ayberkin, Doruk

    This study examines the determinants of the performance of initial public offerings (IPOs) conducted by 237 firms across 38 sectors on the Istanbul Stock Exchange between 2013 and 2025, using a hybrid analytical framework. To analyze the impact of sector characteristics, firm-level financial indicators, supply structure, and market timing on the returns of USD-denominated IPOs, this study combines heteroskedasticity-resistant ordinary least squares (OLS) regression with tree-based ensemble machine learning algorithms (random forest, XGBoost) and benchmark models (support vector regression, artificial neural network). The distributional characteristics of returns from IPOs highlight the use of nonlinear modelling techniques characterized by high positive skewness (5.12) and excess kurtosis (45.24). Our findings reveal significant sectoral heterogeneity. According to the findings, the Financial Services and Fisheries sectors showed statistically significant superior performance, while the Metal Mining, Insurance, and Construction sectors underperformed. Transportation and Storage exhibited the highest point estimate but did not reach conventional significance levels. The XGBoost machine learning model, with an R 2 of 0.869 and a mean absolute error (MAE) of 17.87, achieved superior single-split prediction accuracy compared to the OLS method, which yielded an R 2 of 0.220. However, cross-validation analyses indicated that all models exhibited limited out-of-sample generalizability (best CV R 2 = 0.04). The Diebold-Mariano test, conducted to compare prediction performance, confirmed that the artificial neural network (ANN) model provided a statistically significant improvement over the OLS method (DM = 2.121, p = 0.034). The SHAP value analysis used in the models reveals how each feature affects the final predictions, the relative importance of each feature, and the model's dependence on feature interactions. It identifies the IPO price (USD), the USD/TRY exchange rate, and the size of the supply as the most effective estimators with economically significant nonlinear interactions. The study aims to demonstrate the comparative advantages and limitations of ensemble learning under abnormal financial data conditions by presenting detailed sectoral evidence across 38 sectors. In this way, it aims to contribute to the IPO literature in emerging market economies by offering viable policy recommendations for investors, issuers, and regulators in Turkish capital markets.

    Primary School Teachers' Perceptions of Artificial Intelligence and Their Opinions on Artificial Intelligence Applications in Life Science Courses

    Ari, Sinan

    In this study, in which the perceptions of artificial intelligence of primary school teachers and the use of artificial intelligence in the life science course were examined, explanatory sequential design, one of the mixed research methods, was used. While 318 primary school teachers took part in the quantitative dimension of the study, 15 primary school teachers took part in the qualitative dimension. Artificial intelligence perception scale was used in the quantitative dimension of the study, and a semistructured interview form prepared by the researcher was used in the qualitative dimension. At the end of the study, it was determined that the perceptions of primary school teachers about artificial intelligence were generally positive, according to the graduation status variable, the teaching and learning perceptions of postgraduate teachers about artificial intelligence were higher, there was a significant difference in favor of women according to the gender variable, and in terms of seniority variable, the perceptions of teachers with 1-5 years of experience about artificial intelligence were higher. It has been revealed that primary school teachers can use artificial intelligence applications in all learning areas in the curriculum and that they use these applications mostly to create studentcentered and interactive learning environments. At the end of the research, postgraduate and in-service trainings on artificial intelligence were recommended for primary school teachers.
