- ItemA study of the reliability and validity of the Mindfulness Parenting Scale in Infancy and the examination of Mothers' Mindfulness in Pareting in Turkish samples(UNIV POLITECNICA VALENCIA, EDITORIAL UPV, 2025-10) Sezgin, Elif; 157389The research aims to assess the reliability and validity of the Mindful Parenting in Infancy Scale (MPIS) for mothers with infants aged 0-24 months and to analyze their mindfulness levels across various variables. The study included 353 mothers from Bursa's Nil & uuml;fer and Osmangazi districts, with data collected in private nurseries and daycare homes between December 2023 and March 2024. Teachers distributed the data collection tools, which included the "Mother and Baby Information Form" and the MPIS, developed by Gartstein (2021). Adaptation permissions were secured, and the scale's language, content, and structure were validated. Reliability was measured using the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient and item-total correlations. Statistical analyses included independent samples t-test and One-way ANOVA to explore MPIS scores across demographic variables. The Levene test assessed homogeneity, while kurtosis and skewness evaluated normal distribution. The internal consistency coefficient was 0.74, with item-total correlations ranging from 0.35 to 0.49. The findings indicated no significant differences in mindfulness based on mothers' age, education, or family type, but highlighted variations based on the birth order of the baby.
- ItemBibliometric analysis and mapping of the benefits and challenges of cloud ERP systems(İstanbul Üniversitesi, 2023) Şahinaslan, Önder; Şahin, Ahmet; Şahinaslan, Ender; 122635Enterprise resource planning is an effective tool in achieving management goals. Cloud ERP systems and applications are platform-independent offerings of this management tool in a cloud environment. This study was carried out to make sense of the advantages, difficulties and relationships of the cloud ERP system with scientific studies. For this purpose, the Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases and the Publish or Perish, WOSviewer and Excel applications were used. Statistical analysis, text mining, word network association, visual mapping and trend analysis were performed. As a result of the analysis, it was found that the total rate of publications produced in the last 3 years was 43%, the most cited work was Springer (20%) and the country was the USA (10%). It was determined that the three most frequently used keywords were ‘cloud ERP’, ‘ERP system’ and ‘ERP’. A strong correlation was found between ‘study’ and ‘challenge’ in text mining. The challenge was closely related to ‘SMEs’, ‘data’, ‘provider’, ‘technology’, ‘literature’ and ‘cloud environment’. In recent studies, the concept of ‘cloud ERP implementation’ in SMEs has come to the fore.
- ItemDetermining the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females(Bayrakol Medical Publishing, 2024-10) Uray, Ecem Özge; Batar, Nazlı; Tuna Tuğba; 256218; 336342Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females. Material and Method: This study was conducted between January and March 2022 with the participation of 120 adult females who applied to Özel Maltepe Ersoy Hospital, Nutrition, and Diet Polyclinic for body weight control. The researchers recorded participant information form, IPAQ-SF, 24-hour retrospective food consumption record form, and FINDRISK data through face-to-face interviews. NAR and MAR scores were used to determine the diet quality of individuals. Results: It was determined that as body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-height ratio, neck circumference, body fat percentage, and fat mass values increased, the diabetes risk scores of individuals increased (p<0.05). It was determined that decreasing lean body mass and percentage increased the risk of diabetes (p<0.05). Biochemical parameters FBG, Insulin, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TG values were found to be higher in individuals with high and very high diabetes risk compared to other individuals (p<0.05). It was determined that the risk of diabetes decreased as the physical activity levels of individuals increased (p<0.05). Diabetes risk score, and it was determined that there was no correlation between the biochemical parameters (p>0.05). Discussion: It has been determined that individuals’ anthropometric values, body composition, and physical activity level are important factors in the risk of diabetes. Appropriate health policies should be developed considering this situation.
- ItemDoes Pulmonary Function Testing Affect Autonomic Nervous System Activity?(GALENOS PUBL HOUSE, 2026-03) Yalçın, Gülay; Erdoğmuş Gülcan, Server; Kavlak, Erdoğan; 308202; 392815Objective: The autonomic nervous system (ANS) regulates vital functions such as heart rate (HR) and respiration. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs), which require forced breathing maneuvers, may influence ANS activity, potentially affecting the accuracy of autonomic measurements. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PFT on ANS activity and to assess the reliability of the test order. Material and methods: Forty-eight healthy university students (32 women, 16 men; mean age 19±0.92 years) participated. ANS activity was assessed by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis using the Elite HRV Corsense device. HRV was recorded at rest in a seated position (first measurement), was repeated after a 5-minute rest (second measurement), and was recorded again following PFT performed with a Medwelt SP10 spirometer (third measurement). Results: Comparison of the first and second measurements showed a statistically significant increase only in the root mean square of successive differences (RMSSD) parameter, with no significant changes in other indices. Comparison of the second and third measurements revealed no significant differences in RMSSD or average HR; however, significant changes were observed in the low-frequency (LF) and high-frequency (HF) components and in the LF/HF ratio. Conclusion: Respiratory maneuvers during PFT may temporarily alter ANS activity, particularly affecting parasympathetic-sympathetic balance. The differences between the first and second measurements emphasize the importance of adequate rest periods before HRV assessment. Measurements taken prior to PFT appear to be more reliable for the accurate evaluation of autonomic function.
- ItemObesity and Obesity-Related Hypertension in Northern Cyprus: Findings from a Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study(Galenos, 2026-02) Berksel, Ersan; Özduran, Gülşen; 229345BACKGROUND/AIMS Obesity constitutes a chronic and multifactorial condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue and is linked to a wide range of comorbidities, including hypertension (HT). Its predominant cause is the disparity between caloric intake and the body’s energy utilization. As obesity rates persistently rise, the incidence of obesity-related conditions, particularly HT, is expected to increase. This study estimated the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity (AO) and obesity-related HT among adults in Northern Cyprus. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional observational study, data were collected between October 2023 and June 2024 from Turkish Cypriot adults aged 18-79 years residing in Northern Cyprus. RESULTS The population-level prevalences of general obesity, AO, and excess weight were 26.2%, 46.9%, and 63.2%, respectively. Obesity prevalence was higher in males (29.7%) than in females (23.1%), and excess weight affected 74.3% of males and 53.2% of females. AO was also more prevalent among males (49.6%) than among females (44.4%). The population-level prevalence of HT was 34.6% (36.1% in males, 33.1% in females). Among individuals with HT, 76.9% had obesity-related HT (77.6% among males and 76.1% among females). CONCLUSION Obesity and its associated HT are highly prevalent among adults in Northern Cyprus. With rising obesity rates, the burden of obesity-related conditions is likely to increase. Prevention strategies, alongside lifestyle interventions, anti-obesity pharmacotherapy, and metabolic surgery when appropriate, are essential for long-term control of weight and blood pressure.
- ItemThe effect of an educational video on patients' bowel preparation before colonoscopy: a single-blind randomized controlled study(Termedia Publishing House LTD, 2023) Güneş, Ayşegül; Tekin, Yasemin Eda; El, Çiçek; Bektaş, Hasan; 292320Background. The objective of this research was to assess the efficacy of bowel preparation (BP) and colonoscopy compliance of video training given to patients prior to colonoscopy. Material and methods. In this single-blind randomized controlled study, patients in the control group received traditional written instructions with the same content as oral instructions. A total of 139 patients were included in the study, 70 of whom were allocated to the video education group, and 69 to the traditional education group. After the procedure, both groups’ BP quality and satisfaction with education were measured. Sociodemographic Characteristics Form, Boston Bowel Preparation Scale, Colonoscopy Preparation Compliance Form, and Education Satisfaction Form were used in the study. Results. The BP quality scores of the patients in the video group were found to be higher than the traditional method (p<0.05). In addition, it was found that the educational satisfaction scores, general BP compliance score, solid diet compliance scores, and liquid diet compliance scores were higher in the video group than in the traditional method patients (p<0.05). Conclusions. Video-based colonoscopy preparation training is an effective alternative to traditional methods.
- ItemThe effect of conscious mindfulness-based program (MBP) applied to emergency nurses on their anxiety and quality of life: A randomized controlled study(Kare, 2024-09) Çalışkan, Behice Belkıs; Güneş, Ayşegül; Tekin, Yasemin Eda; Ayvaz, Meryem Yıldız; Kızıl, Hamiyet; 292320Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of a mindfulness-based program applied to nurses working in the emergency department on their anxiety and professional quality of life. Methods: The study was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study with 50 nurses working in the emergency department. Data were collected with a sociodemographic information form, state-trait anxiety & imath;nventory (STAI), and quality of life scale for employees (ProQOL-30). Mindfulness-Based Program (FTP), which lasted for 8 weeks and was an application of 2.5 h/week, was applied to the experimental group. A pre-test before the application and a post-test after the application (1 week after the application was completed) were administered to the experimental and control groups. In evaluating the data, number, percentage, mean, standard deviation, Kurtosis, Skewness, Chi-Square, and Fisher's exact tests were used. Results: It was found that the STAI state and trait anxiety pre-test mean scores of emergency nurses were not significantly different between the experimental and control groups (p>0.05), but the STAI state anxiety post-test mean score was significantly lower in the experimental group (t=-3.527, p=0.01). In addition, no significant difference was detected between the ProQOL-30 scale general and all subscale pre-test scores of the experimental and control groups (p>0.05). In addition, while there was no significant difference between the ProQOL-30 scale general and sub-dimension pre-test and post-test scores of the control group (p>0.05), it was found that the ProQOL-30 general score average increased significantly after the application (t=-2.113). Conclusion: It was concluded that the mindfulness-based program is a program that reduces the anxiety levels of emergency room nurses and increases their work-life satisfaction levels.
- ItemThe predictive role of eating disorders and physical activity in findrisc diabetes risk: the sample of nutrition and dietetics students(Pontificia Universidade Catolica Campinas, 2024-06) Hamurcu, Pınar; Batar, Nazlı; 256218Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eating disorder risk and physical activity level on diabetes risk in students enrolled in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 313 students enrolled in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at a private foundation university during the academic year of 2021-2022. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews using the Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale, and Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire. The data was analyzed using IBM®SPSS® v.26 statistical software. Results Among the Nutrition and Dietetics students, 91.1% were female, mean age was 21.42±3.62 years, and mean body mass ındex was 21.72±3.25 kg/m2. According to International Physical Activity Questionnaire assessment, 8.9% of the students were categorized as inactive. The SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale assessment revealed that 25.6% of the students were at risk of developing an eating disorder. The Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire assessment indicated that 90.7% of the students had a low to slight risk of diabetes. The results of the correlation analysis showed that as International Physical Activity Questionnaire scores increased, Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire scores decreased by 16.8% (p=0.003), and as SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale scores increased, Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire scores also increased by 28% (p<0.001). The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that International Physical Activity Questionnaire significantly predicted Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire score, accounting for 3.8% of the variance, while SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale predicted Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire score, accounting for 8% of the variance (p<0.001). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that physical activity level and susceptibility to eating disorders have a significant effect on the development of diabetes mellitus.
- ItemThe Role of Forest Areas as Carbon Sinks in Türkiye: The Impact of Industrialization and Energy Consumption on Greenhouse Gas Emissions(KASTAMONU UNIV, 2026-04) Şengül, Serkan; 355807Aim of study: This study examines the impact of forest area expansion on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in T & uuml;rkiye, focusing on the roles of industrial production, energy consumption, and economic growth. Area of study: The analysis covers T & uuml;rkiye using annual data for the period 1990-2021. Data on GHG emissions, forest areas, industrial production, energy consumption, and economic growth were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) and other official sources. Material and method: The study employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model and Johansen cointegration approach to analyze the long-run relationships among the variables. Unit root tests were conducted to examine the stationarity properties of the series. Main results: The findings indicate that forest area expansion significantly reduces GHG emissions in the long run, highlighting the role of forests as carbon sinks. In contrast, industrial production, energy consumption, and GDP per capita exert statistically significant positive effects on emissions. The Johansen cointegration results confirm a stable long-run equilibrium relationship among the variables. Research highlights: Achieving T & uuml;rkiye's emission reduction targets requires strengthening forest management policies and aligning industrial production and energy consumption with environmental sustainability.
