Ertarğın, Merve; Yordanov, Nikolay; Zhilevski, Marin; Benedicenti, L.; Liu, Z.
The increasing application of electric motors across various industrial sectors requires effective monitoring and early diagnostics to prevent potential failures. This study explores the use of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based models together with Symmetrized Dot Pattern (SDP) sound representations for classifying the health status of electric motors under different noise conditions. Acoustic data from a brushless DC motor were transformed into SDP images, which were then used to train CNN models. The dataset included recordings of motors in “Good”, “Broken” and “Heavy Load” conditions, captured under various noise environments such as pure, talking, white noise, atmospheric, and stress test conditions. The classification tasks were conducted under three conditions: assessing motor health status, evaluating both motor health status and noise types, and excluding the stress test noise type for a balanced dataset. The results demonstrated that the CNN models achieved high accuracy rates in classifying motor health status, with the Custom CNN model performing best in simpler tasks and MobileNet excelling in more complex scenarios. The study highlights the feasibility of using SDP images with CNN-based models for fault classification in motors and suggests future research directions for improving classification accuracy through advanced feature extraction techniques and multimodal data representations.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of Momordica charantia on hepatorenal toxicity caused by potassium bromate (KBrO3) in rats. Wistar rats were divided into 4 groups as control, KBrO3, bitter melon (MC), and KBrO3+MC. Examining the antioxidant enzyme grade of the kidney tissues, it was found that the enzyme activities of catalase (CAT) (P<0.05), glutathione peroxidase (GSH–Px) (P<0.01), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) (P<0.01) decreased in the KBrO3 group in comparison to the control. There was a significant decrease (P<0.001) in glutathione (GSH) levels and an increase (P<0.01) in malondialdehyde (MDA) level in the KBrO3 group in comparison to the control. Examining the antioxidant enzyme activities in liver tissue, it was determined that CAT, GSH–Px, and SOD enzymes reduced significantly (P<0.05, P<0.01, and P<0.001, respectively) in the KBrO3 group in comparison to the control, and the enzyme activity of decreased CAT, GSH–Px, and SOD enzymes significantly elevated (P<0.01) in the MC group. There was a reduction in GSH level in the KBrO3 group in comparison to the control (P<0.01), while an increase was recorded in the KBrO3+MC group (P<0.05). MDA level in liver tissue increased in KBrO3 group in comparison to the control (P<0.01) and MC decreased the MDA level. Histopathological analysis results indicate severe degenerative and necrotic lesions in hepatorenal histoarchitecture of KBrO3 rats in comparison to the control. However, application of MC+KBrO3 significantly reduced the induced hepatorenal injury with a concomitant increase in histopathological lesions. From the immunohistochemical aspect, MC revealed apoptosis concomitant with the suppression of necrosis in the KBrO3-treated rats as demonstrated by the caspase-3 activity.

Background: Regular exercise during childhood impacts not only physical development but also emotional stability, social adaptation, and behavioral control. Therefore, the present study aimed to examine the effects of a 12-week introductory football training programme on violent tendencies, psychological resilience, and social appearance anxiety in children aged 12–14. Methods: A randomized controlled design was used, with 40 children assigned to an experimental group (n = 20) or a control group (n = 20). The experimental group completed 60-min football sessions three times a week, while the control group did not participate in structured activity. The program included a 20-min warm-up, technical and tactical exercises, game-based activities, and a cool-down, targeting physical, technical, tactical, and psychosocial development. Data were collected using the VTS, PRS, and SAAS scales.Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 25 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY, USA), with mixed-design ANOVA, significance set at p < 0.05, and effect sizes reported as partial eta-squared (ηp2). Results: No significant difference was observed in violence tendency scores in the experimental group (p = 0.939). However, a decrease was observed in psychological resilience scores in comparison to pre-test values, and this decrease approached the threshold of significance with a medium effect size (p = 0.153, ηp2 = 0.053). This finding suggests that the intervention may have a limited effect on psychological resilience. While no significant change was detected in the social appearance anxiety variable in the experimental group (p = 0.120), a significant decrease in anxiety levels was observed in the control group (p = 0.029). This finding suggests that factors other than the experimental intervention may have been effective in the control group. Conclusions: In conclusion, the 12-week football training programme demonstrated no significant short-term effect on violent tendencies or social appearance concerns, but may have a temporary effect on psychological resilience. The findings indicate that the impact of sports participation on psychosocial development in children is multifaceted and contingent on individual differences.

Kutlu, Banu; Çevik, Fatma; Çetindağ, Serdar
The primary considerations within aquatic ecosystems are water and sediment quality, rendering it imperative to assess their concentrations, pollution levels, origins, and ecological hazards. In this study, heavy metal concentrations in surface waters and sediments of the Pülümür Stream were investigated to assess the level, distribution, source of pollution and the associated human risks. Water and sediment samples from the river were collected monthly from February 2021 to January 2022 and examined using the Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP– MS) technique. Metal concentrations in the sediment followed a decreasing or derivative sequence of Fe > Al > Mn > Ni > Cr > Zn > Cu > Pb > As >Cd > Hg. The ecological indices of the stream water have low degrees of contamination by heavy metals. Igeo and EF showed that most of the sites are moderately to highly polluted due to Ni, and Cr, while PLI and PERI showed a progressive deterioration of the environment at site 9. Moreover, the modified hazard quotient (mHQ) indicates low ecological risk for Cu, Pb, Zn, Cd, Hg metals, while Ni, As and Cr reach high pollution at sediment sites. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that the presence of Zn, Cu, Pb, Hg, and Mn metals in the sediment analysis has a lithogenic source, and As, Ni, Cd, and Cr accumulate due to human activities, mainly domestic and agricultural irrigation wastes and mining wastes, all of which affect the aquatic environment. According to this study, more attention should be paid to the comprehensive monitoring of metals in the water and sediment for both aquatic biota and human risk of the Pülümür River.

Danışmaz, Harun; Adalı, Selim Ferruh; Şahin, Özgür
This study is concerned with the evaluation of a recently discovered Aramaic inscription and other archaeological remains found at Rabat Fortress (in Tunceli, Türkiye). The Hellenistic period Aramaic funerary text was composed in memory of a local lord from Sophene’s local political elite, with connections to the Orontid dynasty. This is the first known local Aramaic inscription from Sophene. The Aramaic inscription introduced in this study provides significant new information about the Hellenistic-period context for rock-cut stepped tunnels and single-roomed rock-cut tombs known across eastern Anatolia. The Rabat Fortress site provides corroborating evidence for the dating of the stepped tunnels that exhibit the same rock-cutting techniques in the same region to the Hellenistic and later periods in the rocky landscape. The inscription is rendered in a unique Sophene adaptation of the Middle Aramaic script extant on a corner block inside the Fortress. Its funerary context in rocky landscape and the inscription’s script and content indicate that the local elite at Rabat Fortress used Aramaic, and the notion of Orontid lineage to connect with the kingdom of Sophene’s central authority, which positioned itself between Hellenistic and Iranian traditions.
- BildiriAçık Erişim2025Investigation of Fatigue Performance of Hot Mix Asphalt Mixtures Modified with Elvaloy and Phosphoric Acid (PPA) as an Alternative to SBS Polymer
Furtana-Yalcin, Beyza; Ozaslan, M.
In this study, the combined use of Elvaloy and phosphoric acid (PPA) was investigated to enhance the performance of asphalt concrete (Hot Mix Asphalt - HMA) layers used in flexible pavement structures under increasing traffic loads and environmental conditions. These additives, considered as alternatives to Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) polymer, were evaluated solely for their effects on the mechanical performance of HMA mixtures. Binders modified with Elvaloy/PPA at specified proportions were used to produce HMA specimens, and indirect tensile fatigue tests were conducted on these samples. The experimental results indicated that the addition of Elvaloy and PPA improved the mechanical properties of mixtures prepared with bituminous binders, extended fatigue life, and enhanced the strength and deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures at the selected proportions. The findings suggest that the Elvaloy/PPA additive combination could be a viable alternative to SBS polymer and has the potential to extend the service life of hot mix asphalt. Thus, it was concluded that the use of these additives contributes to improving HMA performance and supports sustainable pavement design.

Background: The effect of inspiratory muscle training on upper limbs One Rep Maximum (1RM) in professional natural bodybuilders is still unclear. Our aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a 6 weeks inspiratory muscle training on 1RM results. Methods: This study included 14 athletes, that had participated in international bodybuilding competitions. Each athlete had been training for minimum of 5 years and at least 5 h per week. The participants were randomly divided into two groups: inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and control (CON) groups. The IMT group and CON group consisted of seven subjects. While the control group continued with the normal training regime, the IMT group additionally performed inspiratory muscle training with the resistance setting of the PowerBreathe® Classic device set to 40% of the participant’s MIP. Prior to and during the 6-week training period, the bench press 1 RM, anthropometry, pulmonary function tests, and maximal inspiratory (MIP) and expiratory (MEP) pressure measurements were obtained. A nutrition protocol developed by a qualified dietician was implemented for each athlete. Results: The mean maximal strength of the respiratory muscle training group changed by 14.39%, whereas that of the control group changed by 9.43% (p = 0.012). The changes in the mean FVC (p = 0.000), FEV1 (p = 0.001), PEF (p = 0.064), MIP (p = 0.001), and maximal expiratory pressure (p = 0.017) were greater in the IMT group. The mean circumferences of the shoulder (p = 0.004), chest (p = 0.008), arm (p = 0.004), and neck (p = 0.003) improved more in the IMT group than in the CON group. A reduction in abdominal measurement was observed in the IMT group (p = 0.039), whereas no notable discrepancy was identified in body fat percentage (p = 0.295). Conclusion: In conclusion we identified that the addition of progressive loading inspiratory muscle training for competition preparation programs in professional natural bodybuilders will further improve their respiratory function, respiratory muscle strength, maximal strength, and muscle development. This research provides valuable insights into how IMT influences bodybuilding training outcomes, potentially guiding future interventions and program designs to better support strength development and body composition in bodybuilding training contexts.

In this study, 3646 articles published in the Scopus database between 1975 and 2024 were analyzed to examine the main research themes, trends, and research gaps in the field of librarianship. Using Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) implemented in Python (Gensim, spaCy, pyLDAvis), a 17-topic model with a coherence score of 0.5266 was generated. The preprocessing steps included tokenization, lemmatization, bigram/trigram construction, and the removal of both general and domain-specific stopwords. The bibliometric analysis showed that most publications were classified under Social Sciences (93%), with the USA (1961 articles) being the leading contributor. Among the identified themes, “Information, Research, and Technology” (10.59%), “Students’ Information Literacy” (9.22%), and “Information Development” (8.23%) emerged as the most prominent, while “Professional Identity and Practice” (3.37%) and “Education and Research Competency” (3.65%) were underrepresented. Trend analyses revealed that technology-related topics have accelerated significantly since 2010, reflecting the digital transformation of librarianship. In contrast, traditional themes such as “Information Development” and “Health and Medical Services” have declined in momentum. The study shows that digitalization and information literacy remain dominant in the field. In addition, it concludes that significant research gaps exist in professional identity, education, and competency development.

Background. This study investigated the effects of Lactobacillus plantarum supplementation on the Akt/eNOS pathway in the cardiac tissue of rats subjected to a fructose-rich diet, which induced metabolic syndrome. Materials and methods. Twenty-two male Wistar albino rats were randomly assigned to three groups: (1) control, (2) fructose, and (3) fructose ± L. plantarum. Rats in the fructose group were administered a 20% fructose solution in their drinking water for 15 weeks. In the L. plantarum-treated group, the probiotic was administered via gastric gavage at a daily dose of 1×109 CFU/mL/100 g during the final six weeks of the study. Results. The administration of Lactobacillus plantarum resulted in a significant increase in the levels of Akt (p < 0.0001), IRS-1 (p = 0.0113), mTOR (p < 0.0001), eNOS (p < 0.0001), and SIRT1 (p = 0.0031) in the cardiac tissue of rats compared to the fructose group. Moreover, a marked reduction in iNOS, NF-κB, and TNF-α levels (p < 0.0001) was observed, highlighting the potential of L. plantarum to counteract the adverse effects of fructose consumption. Conclusion. The findings of this study suggest that L. plantarum has the potential to reduce inflammation in the heart, enhance insulin sensitivity via the Akt/eNOS pathway, and protect against cardiovascular diseases associated with metabolic syndrome.

Background: The extant research on judo sports has principally concentrated on the physiological effects of training. Conversely, there has been limited attention paid to studies on psychological resilience, self-control, and emotional expression levels. The present study examined the effects of Judo exercises on psychological resilience, self-control, and emotional expression levels in healthy male subjects. Methods: The present study comprised 50 healthy, sedentary male subjects. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups: one group participated in judo training (JT) and the other group served as the control group (CON). The sample sizes for the JT and CON groups were both 25. The JT group underwent judo training, while the CON group maintained their usual lifestyle. The Brief Psychological Resilience Scale, the Multidimensional Brief Self-Control Scale, and the Berkeley Emotion Expression Scale were administered prior to and following the 6-week training period. Results: The study demonstrated that a 6-week judo training regimen exerted a significant effect on the psychological resilience score (e.s. = 1.047, p < 0.001), while no such effect was observed in the Control group (e.s. = 0.0091, p = 0.751). In the context of self-control levels, an effect was observed on the Initiation sub-dimension (e.s. = 1, 739, p < 0.001), yet no effect was found on the Inhibition dimension (e.s. = 0.052, p = 0.892). In the control group, a significant decrease was identified in the Initiation sub-dimension (e.s. = 0, 785, p = 0.001) and Inhibition sub-dimension (e.s. = 1, 861, p < 0.001). The findings indicate that impulse power (e.s. = 0.395) and concealment (e.s. = 0.428) exerted a negligible influence on the emotional expression sub-dimensions. Conversely, psychological resilience (e.s. = 0.886) demonstrated a substantial impact. Conclusions: The judo exercises demonstrated a favorable impact on psychological resilience, self-control, and emotional expression levels in healthy male subjects. The findings of this study may offer significant insights into the impact of judo exercises on psychological resilience, self-control, and emotion expression levels. These findings could serve as a guide for the development of future interventions and program design in the domain of sport psychology.

Aydın, Handan; Özen Öner, Ecem; Aydın, Cihat
Tungsten oxide, a versatile transition metal with numerous polymorphs and sub-stoichiometric compositions, containing inherent tunnels and oxygen vacancies, has become a current field of study due to its rich crystal structure, high electrochemical stability, easy accessibility, and environmental friendliness. Thus, the versatile structure of WO3-based materials makes them promising candidates for advanced applications. Our study aims to provide valuable insights into the performance of these materials used in various fields. The structural, optical, and thermal characteristics of PVC-PCL composites doped with tungsten oxide (WO3) were examined in this work. According to DSC research, the thermal characteristics of the polymer matrix were significantly impacted by the addition of WO3. The thermal stability was found to have increased based on the TGA measurement findings. XRD analyses revealed that as the doping rate increased, improved crystallinity was seen. According to SEM tests, the grain clusters are uniformly mixed and the tungsten oxide is evenly spread across the surface. The dopant reacted either chemically or physically with the polymer matrix, according to the ATR-FTIR spectra of PVC-PCL matrix nanocomposite films. An improvement in conductivity with an increase in dopant concentration was noted in the optical experiments. Thus, it can be stated that PVC-PCL composites doped with WO3 can be used in optoelectronic, various industrial, and biomedical application areas due to their structural, optical, and thermal properties.

The fertilization and subsequently embryo and larvae development are linked to gamete quality and FA (fatty acid) content is one of the specific factors affecting egg or sperm quality. Hence, FA profile of gametes (egg and sperm) was documented in brook trout (Sa lve linus fontinalis) under cultivation. FAs were detected and measured using gas chromatography. These results indicated that a total of 26 and 22 FAs were determined in egg and sperm, respectively. The levels of PUFAs were determined in nearly identical quantities in both egg (47.57%) and sperm (47.53%). DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid), LA (Linoleic acid), EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and ARA (Arachidon ic acid) were predominant PUFAs for egg and sperm. Interestingly, vaccenic acid (C18:1 n-11) (24.07%) was major FAs in egg. In conclusion, the analysis of fatty acids in broodstock gametes contributes valuable insights into the dietary requirements necessary for effective aquaculture breeding programs.
