Tatar, Cengiz; Mohammed, Safar Saeed; Kanca, M Sait; Qadir, Rezhaw Abdalla; Kök, Mediha
In this study, Ni41−2xTi49Cu7+xAg3+x (x = 0, 1, 2, 3) shape memory quaternary alloys were synthesized by arc melting, and their thermal, structural and mechanical properties were extensively investigated. Systemically, investigations have been carried out on the phase transformation behavior, thermodynamic properties, microstructure and oxidation resistance of the alloys with increasing Cu and Ag content. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) showed the shape memory effects of all alloys at low temperature. The transformation temperatures increased with increasing Cu and Ag concentrations. Thermodynamic analysis showed that Gibbs free energy trends and entropy were attributed to increased thermal stability at higher doping levels. XRD analysis confirmed the presence of martensitic (β19, β19′) and intermetallic Ti2(NiCu) phases, and grain refinement was found in higher doped samples. Microhardness measurements showed more homogeneous and stabilized microstructures at increasing doping, while SEM imaging showed that the hardness increased significantly. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that Cu and Ag slightly compromised the oxidation resistance due to the destabilization of the passive oxide layers. These results suggest that varying the Cu and Ag content in NiTi-based alloys is an effective method for improving mechanical strength and thermomechanical performance in advanced engineering applications.

Background and Objectives: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected multiple physiological systems, including respiratory function, which is critical for athletic performance. Although alterations in pulmonary dynamics have been observed in high-level athletes recovering from COVID-19, the effects on respiratory function remain unclear. In this context, the present study aimed to examine the impact of COVID-19 on the interrelationships among respiratory function parameters in high-level athletes. Materials and Methods: Sixty-eight high-level athletes participated in the present study, including 34 with a history of COVID-19 and 34 controls without prior infection. Respiratory function and respiratory muscle strength were assessed using a digital spirometer (Pony FX, Cosmed, Italy). Key variables included Forced Vital Capacity (FVC), Peak Expiratory Flow (PEF), Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV), Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1), and Maximum Inspiratory/Expiratory Pressure (MIP/MEP). Results: High-level athletes with prior COVID-19 infection exhibited significant differences in the correlations (p < 0.05) between FVC and PEF, FVC and MVV, FEV1 and FEV1/FVC, and MIP and MVV compared to controls. Conclusions: These findings suggest that COVID-19 can disrupt the interrelationships among respiratory function parameters in high-level athletes, highlighting the need for further longitudinal investigations.

Acar, Ramazan; Saplıoğlu, Kemal; Güçlü, Yavuz Selim
This paper aims to propose a novel approach to estimating solar radiation in relation to sunshine duration. A hybrid Median-Linear (MedLin) model is presented including both the median value and the linear solar radiation equation. First stage is concerned with two-stage alternative of the proposed model with inputs and outputs exhibiting a seasonality structure and it is seasonally adjusted using median values. In the second stage, the linear equation for the difference values is determined with estimations the difference in solar radiation. Finally, the median value and the estimated difference value are added. Monthly total solar radiation values are estimated using monthly total sunshine duration data from Mardin, Adana, Bozova, Hakkari, Şırnak, and Van stations in Southeast of Türkiye for the application. The predictions of the MedLin approach are compared with the results of the Angström-Prescott, ANFIS, and Mean-Linear (MeanLin) models. As for the prediction of monthly total solar radiation data at Mardin and Hakkari stations, the proposed MedLin approach yields the best results compared to other methods with mean absolute percentage error 3.508% and 8.951%, respectively. Angström-Prescott model for Adana, MeanLin method for Bozova, ANFIS model for Şırnak, and MeanLin model for Van provided the best predictions with mean absolute percentage error 3.721%, 3.285%, 4.278%, and 13.101%, respectively. The results show that the MedLin technique proposed in this paper is useful for solar radiation estimation.

Bayır, Erdal; Solmaz, Adnan; Kaya, İsmet; Yağmur, Hatice Karaer
In this study, 4-((2-phenylhydrazono)methyl)benzene-1,2-diol (4-PHBD) Schiff base was obtained from the condensation reaction between 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde (3,4-DHBA) and phenylhydrazine (PH). The obtained Schiff base (4-PHBD) was polymerized using H2O2, NaOCl, and O2 oxidants in an aqueous basic medium (10 % KOH) and 4-PHBD was converted to o-(4-PHBD)-P (by H2O2 oxidant), o-(4-PHBD)-H (by NaOCl oxidant) and o-(4-PHBD)-O (by O2 oxidant). The structures of Schiff base and oligomers were characterized with FT-IR, NMR, SEM, TGA, UV-Vis, CV and GPC measurements. The Cyclic Voltammetry and UV-Vis measurements were used to ascertain the compounds' optical (Eg) and electrochemical (Eg’) band gaps, respectively. The Eg values of o-(4-PHBD)-P, o-(4-PHBD)-O and o-(4-PHBD)-H were found be 2.99, 2.63 and 3.26 eV, respectively. o-(4-PHBD)-O was used as an adsorbent in the removal of methylene green (MG) from an aqueous solution. The obtained data were applied to pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order kinetic models. It was determined that the adsorption process obeyed the pseudo first order kinetic model. The kinetic model was validated with R2, RMSE, SSE, SD, Δqe (%), MSE and ARE validation methods. The activation energy (Ea) was calculated as 7.31 kJ mol−1 using the Arrhenius equation. It was determined that the adsorption of MG on o-(4-PHBD)-O was physical adsorption.

İlhan, Hasan; Güler, Ömer; Şi̇mşek, Tuncay; Alkan, Salih
In this study, boric acid-zinc (BA-Zn) nanoalloys were employed as an adsorbent for the removal of RB-5 dyestuff from aqueous solutions. The investigation focused on analyzing the impact of the initial dyestuff concentration, solution pH, temperature, and equilibrium contact time on the adsorption process of RB-5. The adsorption behavior of RB-5 onto the surface of BA-Zn-nanoalloys was explored, with a particular emphasis on the influence of initial dyestuff concentration and solution pH. The adsorption equilibrium data were subjected to analysis using Langmuir, Freundlich, DRK, and Temkin isotherm models. The results revealed a consistent alignment of RB-5 adsorption with both Langmuir and Temkin isotherms. Notably, the Langmuir adsorption capacity of BA-Zn-nanoparticles for RB-5 adsorption was determined to be 11.77mg / g at a temperature of 25°C. In the Temkin isotherm model, an adsorption constant (AT) of 1.003 was obtained. The calculated adsorption energy from the DR adsorption model was 1.09kJ / mol, implying a physical interaction-driven adsorption process. The empirical data further exhibited conformity with the pseudo-second order kinetic model, reflecting the rate-limiting step and overall kinetics of the adsorption process. Complementary to this, thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy (ΔH0), Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), and entropy (ΔS0) were evaluated to discern the energetics of BA-Zn-nanoparticle RB-5 adsorption. This study not only underscores the effectiveness of BA-Zn nanoalloys as a potential adsorbent for RB-5 dyestuff removal but also contributes to the understanding of the underlying adsorption mechanisms and energetics. The insights gained hold implications for the development of sustainable and efficient strategies for wastewater treatment and environmental protection.

In this study, the three most probable and high-priority failure types were determined in the failures made in the procedures for the transmission of the infection from the patient to the nurse.There is a need to increase the quantity and quality of intensive care unit care personnel to manage new waves of COVID-19 or possible pandemic situations effectively.
- MakaleAçık Erişim2025Scopus SJRQ1Unlocking the potential of nutmeg oil: A sustainable alternative for rainbow trout anesthesia in aquaculture
Minaz, Mert; Er, Akif; Ak, Kübra; Serdar, Osman
In aquaculture, interest in natural anesthetic agents as alternatives to synthetic anesthetics has been steadily increasing. This is due to concerns over residue accumulation, environmental impact, and growing demand for sustainable practices. Within this context, the present study focused on the anesthetic effects of nutmeg essential oil at three different concentrations in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss, 94.42 ± 23.9 g): low (400 µL/L), medium (600 µL/L), and high (800 µL/L). Induction and recovery times were recorded, and samples were collected at 0, 2, 4, and 8 hours post-anesthesia for antioxidant, cortisol, and hematological analyses. Additionally, gill tissues were sampled immediately after anesthesia for histological examination. While the induction time for the low concentration exceeded 3 minutes, the induction and recovery times for the other concentrations ranged within acceptable limits (3 min for induction and 5 min for recovery). Blood parameters exhibited an increasing trend until the 4th hour post-anesthesia, peaking at the 2nd hour, before returning to control levels by the 4th hour. Histological evaluation revealed healthy gill tissues in the control and low-concentration group (400 µL/L), whereas hyperplasia was observed in the medium (600 µL/L) and high-concentration (800 µL/L) groups. Antioxidant enzyme activity (superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), malondialdehyde (MDA), and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px)) indicated potential oxidative stress at the high anesthetic concentration. Similarly, cortisol levels were higher at the high concentration, with plasma cortisol showing a slight initial increase followed by a return to normal levels over time. In conclusion, this study highlights that nutmeg oil at a concentration of 600 µL/L may serve as a promising natural alternative to synthetic anesthetics in aquaculture. However, future studies should include a synthetic anesthetic as a control to allow for direct comparisons and a more comprehensive evaluation of its efficacy and physiological effects.

Starch and gelatin offer opportunities for use due to their non-toxicity, biocompatibility, physical and functional properties. In this study, different amounts of nano-zinc borate were added to starch/gelatin composition for biological applications and their properties were studied. The structure of the films was investigated by various techniques. Nanostructured zinc borate was synthesized using a chemical method and particle sizes were determined as 196 nm. The atenolol drug was doped into the polymer composite. The atenolol release was performed at pH 7.4 and in phosphate-buffered saline solution medium. Cumulative drug release was 76% with the inclusion of nano-zinc borate in the polymer mixture. The atenolol release was approximately 50%–70% in films with nano-zinc borate added after 300 min. Furthermore, thermal resistance of the films improved with the addition of nano-zinc borate. The investigated chemical compound exhibited pronounced antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus), with significantly greater potency compared to Gram-negative bacteria (E. coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa). Notably, the formulation containing 1.5% starch, 0.5% gelatin, and 1% nano-zinc borate demonstrated broad-spectrum efficacy against all tested pathogens, highlighting its potential as a promising antibacterial agent. The observed differential activity against bacterial strains suggests that fine-tuning the concentrations of starch, gelatin, and nano-zinc borate may optimize antibacterial efficacy and broaden the spectrum. The results showed us that non-toxic and biocompatible polymer films can be realized in pharmaceutical industry systems and biomedical applications.

Akarsu, Mehmet; Güllü, Mehmet; Günata, Gül Polat; Kızılkaya, Aysel; Aydın, Savaş; Özcan, Ecesu; Norman, Göktuğ; Kurhan, Cihad Onur
Background: It is well-established that, for adolescents to adopt sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors, not only access to information but also the skills required to translate that information into action are critical. In this field, research that examines the relationship between e-health literacy and sustainable healthy lifestyle behaviors within the context of physical literacy is notably scarce. In this context, the aim of this study is to examine the effect of e-health literacy on a sustainable healthy lifestyle and to evaluate the mediating role of physical literacy in this relationship. Methods: A total of 835 adolescents from high schools across Türkiye voluntarily participated in this study. During the data collection process, the e-Health Literacy Scale, the Perceived Physical Literacy Scale, and the Healthy and Sustainable Lifestyle Scale were utilized. Data were analyzed using the JASP (version 0.18.3.0) software. Correlation analysis and structural equation modeling were conducted, and the bootstrap method (n = 5000) was employed for mediation analysis. Results: The effect of e-health literacy on a sustainable healthy lifestyle was found to be positive and statistically significant (β = 0.452, p < 0.001). Similarly, e-health literacy significantly predicted physical literacy (β = 0.755, p < 0.001), and physical literacy significantly predicted a sustainable healthy lifestyle (β = 0.310, p < 0.001). The mediating effect was also statistically significant (β = 0.234, p < 0.001). The model explained 32% of the variance in healthy lifestyle behaviors. Conclusions: The findings indicate that evaluating e-health literacy and physical literacy together provides a holistic approach to fostering sustainable healthy lifestyle habits among adolescents. It is recommended that intervention programs be structured to encompass both areas of competence.

In the present study, a copolymer of poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) and sodium acrylate was synthesized with the Solution Polymerization Technique. The purpose was to uncover the cytotoxic and genotoxic effects on root tip cells of the Triticum aestivum L. plant germinated with this polymer at different concentrations (25, 50, 100, and 200 ppm). The deposition of poly(DMAA-co-NaAc) copolymer in the study sample T. aestivum was demonstrated with the FTIR, UV–VIS spectroscopy analysis, X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), SEM Element Map, and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS) Spectrum. All concentrations of the poly(DMAA-co-NaAc) copolymer caused a decrease in the Mitotic Index (MI). The poly(DMAA-co-NaAc) copolymer caused various mitotic abnormalities such as loss of genetic material, deconstructed prophase, adhesion, chromosome groupings in metaphase, deconstructed metaphase, C-metaphase, chromosomal loss, chromosomal fracture, deconstructed anaphase, lagging chromosome, fragment, polar aberration, bridge, advancing, star anaphase, multipolarity, and deconstructed telophase. Study results show that poly(DMAA-co-NaAc) copolymer will cause abnormalities in mitosis as a result of its uptake by plants. These results also show that the poly(DMAA-co-NaAc) polymer, which affects organisms, must be produced in a controlled setting to reduce its accumulation in nature and ultimately disposed of in a way that will not harm the environment.

Alak, Gonca; Kuzgun, Nermin Karaton
The valorization of industrial fish waste has gained significant scientific interest due to its integrated benefits such as waste management and resource recovery. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of fish bones, which is one of the wastes of aquaculture processing and constitutes approximately 9–15% of the waste generated as a result of the process, as a preservative in the food industry within the scope of green chemistry applications, sustainability and green product targets. In line with this objective, in the first stage, hydroxyapatite (HAP) was obtained from the fish bones, in the second stage, chitosan (Ch)-based coating solutions were enriched with HAP at different levels (0.02, 0.04 and 0.08 g / L) and in the last stage, fillets were coated with this solution and fillet quality parameters were monitored by microbiological, chemical and sensory analyses at certain intervals (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days) during 12 days of storage (at + 4 °C). Based on the data obtained during the storage period, the shelf life of control (Chitosan, Ch). chitosan + low HAP (Ch + L-HAP) and chitosan + medium HAP (Ch + M-HAP) fillet groups increased by 50%, 26% and 20%, respectively, compared to chitosan + high HAP (Ch + H-HAP). In the findings obtained, it was determined that the high concentration application (Ch + H-HAP) had a negative effect on all the parameters studied in fillets, and when the data on the last day of storage, especially the microbiological results were taken into consideration, it was determined that the shelf life decreased by 20–50% on average compared to the other concentrations (Ch + L-HAP and Ch + M-HAP) and Ch group and caused serious negativities in sensory parameters. Based on this result, it would be useful to try low and medium levels of this compound in different combinations. These findings indicate that HAP-enriched chitosan coatings have potential as a promising delivery system for the effective and controlled transport of bioactive ingredients in the food industry.

In this study, a novel series of nano-Sm2O3-doped lithium borotellurite glasses was synthesized and systematically investigated in terms of their structural, physical, and radiation shielding characteristics. X-ray diffraction confirmed the amorphous nature of all samples, while transmission electron microscopy revealed progressive nanoarchitectural refinement and particle growth with increasing Sm2O3 content, from uniformly dispersed nanodomains to dense agglomerates exhibiting short-range crystalline ordering. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and elemental mapping validated the homogeneous incorporation of boron, oxygen, tellurium, and samarium throughout the glass matrix without phase separation. Gamma-ray shielding evaluations showed enhanced mass attenuation coefficients and reduced half-value layers, particularly in the Sm(n)8 sample, with significant performance gains at lower photon energies. Neutron shielding assessments further indicated elevated macroscopic removal cross-section values and dose attenuation, affirming the compositional benefit of Sm2O3 for fast neutron mitigation. It can be concluded that nano-Sm2O3 incorporation would play a multifunctional role on structural and radioprotective properties in addition to morphostructural features of lithium borotellurite glasses.

In this study, a fault detection system that classifies motor faults using deep learning without requiring any sensor connections inside or on the motor setup is proposed. The focus is on the electrical and mechanical faults of asynchronous motors, which are widely used in the industry. A mobile application developed using Flutter can collect vibration data using the three-axis accelerometer sensor in smartphones. By placing a smartphone with the application installed on the motor for which fault detection is desired, vibration data on three axes (x, y, z) is collected to train deep models. Subsequently, test data is used to identify the fault status and class of the electric motor. Different conditions and scenarios were created to test the adequacy of smartphone accelerometer sensors in detecting motor faults. Fault classification with vibration data obtained under different motor operating speeds in loaded and unloaded conditions achieved accuracy rates of over 99%.

Dogan, Akar; Mahmat, Aybars; Agar, Salih
Recently, the production of materials obtained from plant sources has been increasing due to their environmentally friendly and sustainable sources. Natural fibers and waste materials offer a remarkable alternative in composite production due to their biodegradability, low cost and renewability. In this study, composite materials were produced using hybrid Jute and industrial tea waste-reinforced epoxy materials by vacuum assisted resin infusion molding. In this context, the reason for using natural and industrial resources such as jute fiber and tea waste is to contribute to both the improvement of mechanical properties and the reduction of environmental impacts. It was observed that tensile and flexural strength decreased as the amount of tea waste increased. Conversely, the energy absorbed during the quasi-static punch shear and Charpy impact tests increased, unlike the tensile and flexural strength. Approximately 50% decrease was observed in the tensile strength of the 60% tea waste reinforced material compared to the pure jute composite material. In Charpy impact and quasi-static punch shear tests, a 5% increase in the energy absorbed in the 60% tea waste reinforced composite materials was obtained.

Guler, Seval Hale; Yakin, Alican; Guler, Omer; Chattopadhyay, Arun K.; Simsek, Tuncay
In this study, the traits, production methods, and applications of refractory high-entropy materials—including refractory high-entropy alloys (RHEAs), refractory high-entropy composites (RHE-Cs), and refractory high-entropy ceramics (RHE-Ce)—which are part of the broader category of refractory high-entropy materials with a wide range of applications, have been thoroughly examined and discussed. RHEAs have emerged as materials that exhibit superior properties, such as high melting temperatures, excellent temperature resistance, and high wear and corrosion resilience, in addition to high mechanical and fatigue strength. These attributes have made them extensively studied materials in recent times. The properties of RHEAs suggest their safe operation in challenging environments such as nuclear reactors, gas turbines, aerospace, and energy production. Among refractory materials, RHE-Cs stand out for their high strength and low density, showing significant potential for use in the automotive, aerospace, and space industries. Another group with a wide range of applications, RHE-Ce materials, is distinguished by their high-temperature resilience, high hardness, and low thermal conductivity, making them suitable for high-temperature environments. Refractory materials are generally fabricated using traditional techniques such as arc melting, powder metallurgy, and magnetron sputtering. In this study, along with traditional production methods, additive manufacturing techniques which have revolutionized the manufacturing field are discussed concerning their applications in refractory material production. Additive manufacturing methods enable the achievement of high temperatures and the production of homogeneous, single-phase solid solutions, making them suitable for fabricating refractory materials with high melting points.

The aim of this study was to examine the genotypes of wild blackberries growing naturally in Tunceli province in terms of fruit characteristics and to determine the ones with superior characteristics. Nine different genotypes were determined by population screening and 100 fruits were collected from each genotype. The physical properties such as fruit weight, length, width, as well as color, chemical content, and antioxidant properties were examined. Statistically significant differences were found among the genotypes; fruit weight, length, and width varied between 0.71 and 1.19 g, 10.08 and 12.63 mm, and 12.25 and 14.33 mm, respectively. The G9 genotype had the largest fruits, and the G6 genotype had the smallest fruits. In fruit color analyses, significant differences were observed among the genotypes, and the G2 genotype stood out with the highest L* value (20.05), but G9 had the lowest a* value (0.92). Total soluble solids (TSS) content varied between 11.95% in G2 and 21.10% in G7. Vitamin C content was highest in the G6 genotype (54.46 mg 100 g−1), while G9 had the lowest vitamin C content (22.66 mg 100 g−1). Significant differences were also observed among the genotypes in terms of phenolic content, flavonoids, anthocyanins, and antioxidant activity. As a result, in this study, significant differences in organic acid contents were determined among wild blackberry genotypes in Tunceli province. The G1 genotype was the richest in malic acid, while the G6 was the genotype with the highest ascorbic acid level. Various differences were also found among the genotypes in terms of oxalic acid, citric acid, and other organic acid contents. These findings may constitute an important resource in determining the commercial production and potential health benefits of wild blackberries.

Derse, Onur; Polat, Elifcan Göçmen
Increasing solid waste amount arisen from the urbanization and population growth is an inevitable outcome in many countries. Solid waste has become one of the serious environmental problems and peculiar solid waste pathways are required to prevent contamination of environment. The optimal planning of the waste management should comprise the operations such as minimization, collection, landfilling and recycling of the waste. Also, location selection for landfill of municipal solid waste (MSW) is an effective step even essential, due to growing area shortage for waste disposal. In this respect, landfilling of MSW has been addressed in Tunceli, Turkey using an integrated approach. The Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy-AHP), a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, is utilized to decide the weights of the environmental, technical, economic, and social criteria regarding uncertainty. Then, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is conducted to rank the alternative landfill districts. Finally, the sub locations of selected district are mathematical modelled regarding transport cost, investment cost and demand with an integer linear programming model. The computational results indicate the proposed method effectiveness with a systematic approach by integrating MCDM and mathematical modelling.
