Wreckage and Rule: Necropolitical and Biopolitical Configurations of Urban Space in J.G. Ballard’s Concrete Island
(RumeliYa Yayıncılık, 2025) Özçelik, Kaya; 351393; Yılmaz, Yakup
Engaged primarily with the detrimental effects of modernism and late capitalism, which have a destructive impact on humanity, Ballard registers these impacts in all his works from various perspectives. Bearing this approach in mind, Ballard’s writing shifts its focus from external realities to internal experiences, aiming to explore how technology shapes one’s perception, memory, and desires. Grounded in the formative experience of turmoil and confinement, this preoccupation of Ballard forms the basis for all his works, establishing his reputation in post-war English literature. Celebrated for his challenging style and satirical tone in his depiction of bleak, dystopian, and post-apocalyptic scenarios, James Graham Ballard (1930–2009) holds a significant role in the world of English fiction through his novels, short stories, and essays. Born in Shanghai and interned in a Japanese civilian camp during World War II, Ballard’s earlier experiences of imprisonment and societal collapse contributed significantly to his literary imagination, as later fictionalised in his Empire of the Sun (1984).

Gıda Güvenliğinin Ekonomik ve Çevresel Belirleyicileri: BRICS-T Ülkeleri İçin Bir Analiz
(Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi, 2025-07) Şengül, Serkan; Köprücü, Yılmaz; 355807
Bu çalışma, BRICS-T ülkelerinde gıda güvenliğini etkileyen ekonomik ve çevresel faktörlerin uzun dönemli etkilerini analiz etmektedir. Çalışmada, gıda güvenliği endeksi, karbon emisyonları, kişi başına düşen gelir, nüfus artış oranı, ve enflasyon değişkenleri incelenmiştir. Panel eşbütünleşme testi ve FMOLS yöntemleri kullanılarak, karbon emisyonlarının gıda güvenliği üzerinde pozitif bir etkisi olduğu, ancak bu etkinin çevresel sürdürülebilirlik açısından risk oluşturabileceği tespit edilmiştir. Bulgular, sürdürülebilir tarım teknolojilerine yatırım yapılması, doğal kaynakların korunması ve uluslararası işbirliklerinin artırılması gerektiğine işaret etmektedir. Çalışma, BRICS-T ülkelerinin farklı ekonomik ve çevresel koşulları ışığında literatüre yeni bir bakış açısı sunmaktadır.

Production and Sustainability in Türkiye's Fisheries Sector: The Role of Economic Variables
(Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University, 2025-07) Şengül, Serkan; 355807
This study investigates the impact of basic economic variables on production processes in Türkiye's fisheries sector, emphasizing sustainable development strategies. Using a dataset from the Turkish Statistical Institute covering annual data from 2003 to 2023, the research employs the ARDL model to examine the long-term and short-term effects of capital investments, labor costs, and energy expenses on total production. Results indicate that capital investments significantly enhance productivity, though misallocation can negatively impact efficiency. Labor and energy costs exhibit a negative effect, underlining the importance of cost optimization for sectoral sustainability. Based on these findings, the current study proposes strategic policy recommendations such as; efficient capital allocation, labor cost optimization through training programs, and the adoption of renewable energy sources to reduce operational expenses. These recommendations aim to support sustainable growth in the Turkish fisheries sector, enhance food security, and bolster economic resilience.

From capture to culture: the asymmetric impact of education on Türkiye's fisheries sector
(Springer, 2025-08) Canbay, Şerif; Şengül, Serkan; Karahan Dursun, Pınar; 355807; 414023
The aim of this study is to analyze the causal effect of the net schooling rate, as a proxy for human capital, on saltwater fisheries and aquaculture in five coastal regions of T & uuml;rkiye (Marmara, Aegean, Mediterranean, Western Black Sea, and Eastern Black Sea). In the empirical analysis, we use the panel data for the period 2009-2022 and employ the dependent variables that are the amount of fish production obtained through fishing in Model 1 and the amount of fish produced through aquaculture in Model 2. The study applies the panel bootstrap Granger causality method, considering both structural heterogeneities and cross-sectional dependencies. The results show that the effect of educational attainment on fish production activities varies both by type of production and by regional conditions. In the Mediterranean and Aegean regions, educational attainment has strong effects on both fishing and aquaculture, while in some regions, it has a negative effect on production. The study contributes to the literature by presenting the effects of education, a socio-economic variable, at the sectoral level in detail; it also provides an empirical basis for the development of region-specific sustainability policies.

The role of chronotype, sleep quality, and physical activity in food cravings: a crosssectional study
(BMC, 2025-07) Tuna, Tuğba; Karaca Çelik, Kezban Esen; Çelik Kayapınar, Fatma; 336342
Introduction
Food cravings contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors, increased energy intake, and metabolic disturbances. However, the interplay between chronotype, sleep quality, and physical activity in shaping food cravings remains unclear. This study explores these associations in adults attending fitness centers.
Methods
A cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 participants (80 females, 121 males) aged 19–64 years in İzmir, Türkiye. Validated tools, including the Food Craving Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T), Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), were used to assess food cravings, chronotype, and sleep quality, respectively.
Results
Regular physical activity was significantly associated with lower FCQ-T scores (p < 0.05). Poor sleep quality was linked to higher food craving levels (p < 0.05). Evening chronotypes showed higher food craving scores than morning types, though this was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). However, evening chronotypes exhibited significantly poorer sleep quality (higher PSQI scores) compared to morning types (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
This cross-sectional study suggests that regular physical activity and good sleep quality may be associated with lower food craving levels. Although chronotype differences were observed, further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Given the limitations of the study design and potential selection bias, causal interpretations should be approached with caution. Nevertheless, interventions focusing on improving sleep and promoting physical activity may help reduce unhealthy eating tendencies in similar populations.
