Susam, Selim Orhun; Hudaverdi, Burcu
A gene network represents the relationship between different groups of genes with various functions, aiming to depict how genes collaborate and influence each other’s activities within a biological system. This relationship can be effectively explained using copulas. Therefore, it is crucial to determine which copula best fits the gene data and provide the most accurate explanation of the relationships between gene groups. In this study, our objective is to introduce a Spearman dependence function-based goodness-of-fit test using Bernstein polynomial approximation. We apply this test to identify a copula model that can effectively explain the relationships between gene groups. A Monte Carlo simulation study is conducted to assess the performance of the proposed test. Next, we analyse histone gene groups using data from yeast cell regulation, as provided by Eisen et al. (1998). Specifically, we investigate the dependence model structures of gene interactions for eight histone genes.

In this study, a comparison of traditional growth methods (lengthweight relationships and von Bertalanffy growth function) with artificial neural networks in growth models was carried out in the growth of 783 specimens of Capoeta umbla from the Munzur River, Turkey from September 2019 to May 2021. The lengthweight relationships of C. umbla W = 0.0085L3.013 R2=0.943 was determined for all individuals. The ages of the specimens were from 0 to 11 years old. The von Bertalanffy growth function was Lt = 46.15 [1-e-0.139 (t + 2.57)] and Wt = 856.32 [1-e-0.139 (t + 2.57)]3.013 for all individuals. Ф’ value was 2.471 all individuals. The training stopped and the best validation performance was fixed at 8.1473 × 10-5 at epoch 42. The validation checks were reached as 6, at epoch 48 and the gradient = 5.6566 × 10-5, at epoch 48. The target output R value was 0.98584 for training, 0.98969 for validation, 0.98757 for testing and 0.9868 for all. The calculated MAPE values were 0.140 and 0.578 for artificial neural networks, 1.168 and 2.726 for length–weight relationships, 5.721 and 4.013 for von Bertalanffy growth function, respectively. The calculated SSE values for length and weight were 0.0128 and 30.864 for artificial neural networks, 1.3985 and 350.786 for length–weight relationships. The results of the present show that artificial neural networks can be superior estimators than length–weight relationships and von Bertalanffy growth function. Therefore, artificial neural networks models are an effective tool to describe body weight and length in fish.

Background: A limited number of studies have investigated the effects of circadian rhythm-based running exercise interventions on physical fitness in child athletes. This study aimed to investigate the effects of an eight-week morning and evening running program on lower extremity strength, agility and respiratory function in 10–12-year-old male footballers. Methods: Participants visited the laboratory three times, with one-day intervals before and after the training program. The assessments included maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP), maximal expiratory pressure (MEP), forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the FEV1/FVC ratio. Additionally, agility and functional performance tests (FPTs) were conducted for both the dominant and non-dominant legs. Results: The findings indicated that morning running was more effective than evening running in enhancing respiratory function. Morning running also showed superior results in lower extremity strength tests, particularly in the single-leg (SL) and triple-leg (THD) crossover hop for distance tests (CHDs) and the 6-m timed-hop test (6 m THT). Furthermore, the agility performance of the morning running group was significantly better than that of the evening and control groups. Conclusion: Consequently, morning running interventions had a positive impact on key physical fitness parameters, including respiratory muscle strength, respiratory function, agility, and lower extremity strength in child footballers.

Ozcan, Ebru Ifakat
Klaxon pesticide represents a novel generation of insecticide employed in the control of diseases, pests and weeds in select agricultural regions. Pesticides that enter the aquatic environment indirectly have a detrimental impact on the organisms that inhabit this environment, and humans are ultimately exposed to these chemicals through the food chain. The present study investigated the toxicity of the klaxon pesticide in Dreissena polymorpha, a suitable bioindicator of water pollution, through the analysis of oxidative stress and metabolic biomarkers. The effects of klaxon at concentrations of 0.01, 0.15 and 0.30 mg·L-1 on oxidative stress and antioxidant changes in D. polymorpha were determined over a 24 – and 96–hour period. Enzyme–linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were employed to quantify the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), catalase (CAT) and thiobarbituric acid (TBARS), as well as to assess the levels of reduced glutathione (GSH). ELISA kits were used to determine results. Statistical evaluation of biomarker analyzes was performed using the SPSS 24.0 package program one–way ANOVA (Duncan 0.05) test. Significant decreases in GSH levels (P<0.05); significant increases in TBARS levels (P<0.05) were observed. Significant decreases (P<0.05) in SOD, CAT and GPx activities were observed. Considering the study data, it was determined that the klaxon pesticide penetrating the body of the living organism caused oxidative stress and changes in enzyme activities in D. polymorpha.

Kılıç, Aygün
This study aimed to investigate pre-service science teachers’ (PSTs') PCK levels regarding celestial bodies and the relationships between PCK components. The pre-service teachers’ PCK was analyzed in two ways: personal PCK (pPCK) and enacted PCK (ePCK). PSTs' topic-specific pPCK represented their declarative knowledge of PCK regarding celestial bodies, and their topic-specific ePCK represented their enacted competencies in teaching this science topic in the classroom. Pre-service teachers’ pPCK and ePCK were examined through four components: science curriculum, students’ understanding, instructional strategy and method, and assessment. 22 PSTs participated in the study, and data on pre-service teachers’ PCK was collected through interviews, field observation notes, and teaching video records. The study used two rubrics to analyze the data obtained regarding the PSTs' pPCK and ePCK. Accordingly, PSTs' levels of pPCK/components and ePCK/components revealed idiosyncratic and topic-specific differences. Furthermore, their pPCK and ePCK interact and the internal and mutual relationships between pPCK components and ePCK components are topic-specific. This study provides comprehensive and valuable information for teacher education programs by revealing the dynamic interaction between pre-service teachers’ knowledge and actions. It also highlights the need for more teaching experiences from the early years of these programs to improve their classroom practice.

Yüzüak, G.D.; Tomakin, M.
Transition metal borides are well-known for their high hardness, excellent wear resistance, chemical inertness, and electrical conductivity, making them promising for a wide range of applications. Understanding the interconnections between material structure, composition, and mechanical properties is essential for designing and synthesizing effective coatings. This study systematically investigates the structural and mechanical properties of CrB₂ thin films with varying concentrations of VB₂ (0–10 wt%), focusing on structure, hardness, elastic behavior and deformation characteristics mechanisms through atomic force microscopy and nanoindentation measurements. The results show that increasing VB₂ content leads to the formation of island cluster structures, which significantly strengthens atomic bonds and, in turn, enhances the hardness of the thin films. As particle size decreases, the higher proportion of surface atoms and increased surface energy have a more pronounced effect on the mechanical properties. In particular, the addition of VB₂ up to 10 wt% in CrB₂ thin films results in a marked improvement in superhard properties. 26 % increase in hardness value is also influenced directly by the changes in Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio that depend on the VB₂ concentration.

Objectives: Five solvent extracts (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, ethanol, ethanol/water (70%), and water) of Gladiolus italicus Mill. from Turkey were evaluated for chemical and biological properties. Methods: Antioxidant activities, inhibitory properties against key enzymes involved in the etiology of chronic diseases were tested, as well as cytotoxic effects on different cell lines. Chemical characterization was also carried out to determine the most abundant compounds of each extract. Results: The highest total phenolic content (TPC) was observed in the water extract while highest TFC in ethanol/water extract. The most abundant compounds in the extracts were hyperoside (69041.06 mg kg−1), isoquercitrin (46239.49 mg kg−1), delphindin-3,5-diglucoside (42043.81 mg kg−1), myricetin (21486.61 mg kg−1), and kaempferol-3-glucoside (21199.76 mg kg−1). Molecular dynamic (MD) simulations confirmed the structural stability and dynamic conformational integrity of these complexes over a period of 100 ns. In network pharmacology, A total of 657 unique target genes were screened: 52 associated with programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), 85 with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-2 (VEGFR2), and 130 with fibroblast growth factor receptor-2 (FGFR2), identifying crucial gene interactions for these proteins. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses were conducted, revealing significant interactions and pathways such as the advanced glycation end products (AGE) and their receptors (RAGE) signaling pathway in diabetic complications and T- helper 17 (Th17) cell differentiation, among others. This elucidation of complex networks involving key genes like AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 1 (AKT1), MYC proto-oncogene (MYC), tumor protein 53 (TP53), Interleukin 6 (IL6), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) provides a promising foundation for the development of targeted therapies in the treatment of non-communicable diseases. Conclusion: These results show that G. italicus could be a natural source of potent antioxidants and enzyme inhibitors which need to be further explored for the development of biopharmaceuticals.

Tam, Gürkan; Yön, Burak
In this study, the effectiveness of reinforcement with steel diagonal elements in a reinforced concrete building was investigated. A typical reinforced concrete building with ground floor+4 floors was designed for the numerical study. All column dimensions were 400×400 mm, all beam dimensions were 250×500 mm, transverse reinforcement spacing in column and beam elements was 100 mm and floor heights were 3 meters. The existing building was strengthened with X steel diagonal elements and two models were obtained. Nonlinear static pushover and incremental dynamic analyses of the buildings were performed. 11 earthquake records were used for incremental dynamic analyses. The acceleration amplitudes of these records were increased from 0.1 g to 1.0 g by 0.1 g and the analyses were performed. In order to model the nonlinear behaviour, lumped plastic hinges were assumed at the ends of the structural elements. As a result of nonlinear static pushover and incremental dynamic analyses of the buildings, capacity curves, maximum responses, inter-storey drifts, hysteretic curves at the ends of selected columns and damage patterns were obtained. Fragility curves were created by considering the damage levels in the buildings. According to the results, the average inter-storey drifts of the building strengthened using X steel diagonal elements decreased by approximately 90% compared to its current condition for 1.0 g PGA, while the damage probability and vibration period were also significantly reduced. In addition, the base shear force encountered by the strengthened building increased more than 4 times compared to its current condition.

Özdemir, Ahmet Münir; Yalçln, Beyza Furtana; Yllmaz, Mehmet
The rheological and mechanical properties of bituminous binders vary significantly depending on the crude oil source. Consequently, the response of binders from different sources to polymer modification also differs. This study compares the rheological performance of B160/220 penetration-grade binders sourced from the Turkey-Batman and Iraq-Lanaz refineries, modified with styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), the most widely used polymer additive. To evaluate high-temperature performance, performance grade and frequency sweep tests were conducted using a dynamic shear rheometer. In addition to experimental assessments, the rheological behavior of the binders was analyzed using the Christensen-Anderson, Cross, and Carreau-Yasuda models. Time-temperature superposition principle master curves were generated to characterize their viscoelastic behavior. Zero shear viscosity (ZSV) values were determined using the Cross and Carreau-Yasuda models to examine the impact of polymer modification on binder viscosity. The findings indicate that the initial rheological properties of bitumen significantly influence its response to SBS modification. For instance, the G∗/sin δvalue increased by up to 199% at 64°C with 4% SBS addition, while the softening point rose by 9.5°C compared to unmodified binders. Modelled ZSV values showed more than a sevenfold increase in some cases, especially in Iraqi binders. On the other hand, at -18°C, the m-value dropped to 0.282 in the B-SBS4 binder, indicating a potential risk of low-temperature cracking. While polymer modification improved the rheological properties of both bitumen types, its effectiveness varied depending on the source.

This research presents a minimum distance method based on the Bernstein empirical copula process for estimating the dependence parameter of the Farlie-Gumbel-Morgenstein copula. Also, this study examines its performance through a comprehensive Monte Carlo simulation study. The findings in this paper demonstrate that selecting the optimal degree of the Bernstein empirical copula has a significant impact on the performance of the new estimation method. The proposed estimator achieves optimal performance in terms of mean squared error (MSE) for the parameter range (Formula presented.) in small sample sizes, while outside this range, its performance varies depending on the degree of the Bernstein empirical copula. Finally, we apply the new method to real data for illustrative purposes.

Aydin, Çağlar Mert
The aim of this study is to achieve maximum phenolic component extraction efficiency by using deep eutectic solvent, and to gain higher extraction efficiency than that obtained using conventional solvent from fruit waste, namely Kultik seed (Cucumis melo L.). Six DES (deep eutectic solvent) combination were formed using zinc chloride, ethylene glycerol, lactic acid, choline chloride, sorbitol and glucose. The evaluated DES properties were viscosity, pH, %brix and refractometric index, and their effect on phenolic extraction. Overall, the forming components significantly influence DES properties, indicating importance of choosing proper components in DES formation to receive desired extraction result. There was a correlation between extraction yield and DES properties (brix%, pH and viscosity), showing adjusting these properties are crucial in yield of desired phenolic extraction yield, r > 0.5. Alcohol based DESs had lower viscosity, higher brix% and pH in the range of 3–5. Sugar based DESs had higher viscosity, lower brix% and pH other than the range of 3–5. The highest phenolic extraction efficiency was obtained in extraction using alcohol based DESs as solvent, while the extraction using sugar and carboxylic acid based DESs underperformed. Furthermore, the extractions using some DES types (zinc chloride: ethylene glycerol (149.5 mg GAE 100 g−1), choline chloride: ethylene glycerol (161.5 mg GAE 100 g−1)) achieved better phenolic yield than that obtained using conventional solvents (water (7,6 mg GAE 100 g−1), methanol (80.2 mg GAE 100 g−1), ethanol (138.7 mg GAE 100 g−1)). These results indicate that DESs, as a green solvent, provide excellent alternative to organic solvents for green chemistry, and have a great potential to use in industrial applications involving extraction of bioactive compounds from plant sources.

Özger, Pelin Doğan
This paper explores how patriarchal power relations construct the idea of “nature” in Athena Farrokhzad’s Morals According to Medea (Moral enligt Medea, 2022), an adaptation of Euripides’ classic play Medea (431 BCE). The analysis will concentrate on Medea’s subversion of patriarchal “appropriation” tactics from a feminist perspective, particularly through ideological codes embedded in the dialogues between Medea and Morality, the only other character in the play. By doing so, it seeks to understand women’s position in relation to patriarchy through a materialist feminist lens, with particular attention to the conflict between Medea and Morality. The focus will also be on how Medea challenges traditional discourses of motherhood, constructed within male-dominated societal structures. The study will further discuss the ways in which she raises her voice in resistance, both as a local and as a refugee, within the spaces where she is either confined or expelled. The discussion will be framed within the context of the theory of social relations between the sexes highlighting the specific impact of women’s resistance and militancy in examining the mechanisms of sovereignty.

Aydin, Yilmaz; Garipcan, Ali Murat; Özkaynak, Fatih
In this study, a novel robust design methodology that successfully meets the performance and security criteria for substitution-boxes (s-boxes), critical component in block cipher systems, is proposed. Unlike traditional methods providing low-level randomness, the proposed method utilizes physical true randomness as the entropy source, significantly improving the robustness and effectiveness of the s-box design. Phase noise (jitter) occurring on ring oscillators (ROs) is used for true randomness inputs with high security and unpredictability properties in the proposed method. The success of the proposed method is evaluated by considering key performance metrics of s-boxes such as bijectivity, strict avalanche criterion (SAC), bit independence criterion (BIC), nonlinearity (NL), and differential probability (DP). In the novel method, including the integration of the secure hashing algorithm (SHA)-256 hash function for cryptographic usage adequacy of the noise signal, 106.75 NL, 0.4995 SAC, and 105.7 average BIC-NL values can be obtained for s-boxes without any additional optimization process. Considering the low DP value, the analysis results confirm that the s-boxes produced by the proposed method can provide remarkable resistance against linear and differential cryptanalysis scenarios. Numerical findings also show that the proposed s-boxes are competitive and superior compared to other s-box designs in the literature. In conclusion, we believe that the methodology producing robust and reliable s-box solutions for block cipher systems contains important contributions inspiring future research regarding design principles.
