    A qualitative examination of career adaptation of LGBT+ individuals
    (Springer, 2026-02) Çohadar, Esra; Karacan Özdemir, Nurten; 392810
    This study explores LGBT+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and other sexual and gender minority identities) individuals’ career adaptation processes through the career construction model of career construction theory. Employing a qualitative, phenomenological design, data were collected from 15 participants via snowball sampling using a personal information form and semistructured interviews. Content analysis revealed 14 themes and 31 categories across four dimensions: adaptivity, adaptability (concern, control, curiosity, confidence), adapting responses, and adaptation results. Participants reported challenges in career decision-making and exploration. Some preferred working in socially accepting countries. Coming out influenced the effectiveness of coping strategies in job search and the workplace.

    Problems and opportunities of artificial intelligence
    (İnönü Üniversitesi, 2022) Gürsakal, Necmi; Çelik, Sadullah; Batmaz, Bülent; 16040
    This article reviews Artificial Intelligence (AI)’s challenges and opportunities and discusses where AI might be headed. In the first part, it was tried to reveal the differences between Symbolic AI and Deep Learning approaches, then long promises but short deliveries of AI were mentioned. The problems of AI are that the media has high expectations about artificial intelligence and keeps the problems and restrictions it creates low. Today, while AI is stuck with issues such as deepfake applications and carbon footprints that create moral and climatologic problems; on the other hand, it is struggling with problems such as deep learning models requiring huge amounts of data. Another problem with deep learning is that deep learning models are a blackbox and not open to improvements because it is not known where mistakes were made. Among the new paths ahead of AI are Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) models and hybrid models that generally try to bridge the gap between Symbolic AI and Connectionist AI. If we consider that the most important leaps in AI have been made with the features of the brain that AI can imitate, then the developed HTM models may also be a new opportunity for AI.

    The mediation role of coping with stress in the relationship between psychological flexibility and posttraumatic growth in cancer patients
    (Sage, 2024-10) Akcan, Gizem; Bakkal, Bekir Hakan; Elmas, Özlem; 192722
    Objectives: Active and adaptive coping strategies have been identified as factors that can assist cancer patients in effectively managing and overcoming the crisis, leading to the potential for post-traumatic growth during the diagnosis and treatment stages. Psychological flexibility is another factor that can protect individuals and promote more adaptive reactions to traumatic situations. The study aims to examine the investigation of the mediation role of coping with stress in the relationship between psychological flexibility and posttraumatic growth in cancer patients. Methods: This study was conducted with 97 (63 women, 34 male) participants aged between 38 and 82 who are literate and diagnosed with breast cancer or gynecological cancers (endometrial, cervical, vulvar) undergoing radiotherapy planning at the Radiation Oncology Clinic of Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit University Hospital. Demographic Information Form, Psychological Flexibility Scale, Post-Traumatic Growth Inventory, and Coping Styles Scale were applied to the participants. The mediation effects were interpreted using bootstrap confidence intervals and VAF values. Results: This study showed that the active coping styles partially mediated the relationship between psychological flexibility and posttraumatic growth. Conclusion: In this regard, by organizing psychoeducational programs and interventions aimed at increasing psychological flexibility for individuals diagnosed with cancer or undergoing treatment, individuals can be enabled to cope with stress more actively, and thus post-traumatic growth can be achieved.
