Personal and Professional Drivers of Wearable Technology use: A Model-Based Analysis Among Physical Education Teachers
(Routledge, 2026) Akyel, Yakup
This study examines the factors influencing wearable technology adoption among physical education teachers by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and Self-Determination Theory (SDT). The research investigates how intrinsic motivational factors (perceived competence, autonomy, and relatedness from SDT) and behavioral intentions (from TPB and TAM) together affect educators’ decisions to adopt wearable technologies. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), data from 338 physical education teachers were analyzed to evaluate the proposed theoretical model. Results indicate that internal motivational dynamics significantly shape teachers’ openness to and intentions toward integrating wearable devices, alongside perceptions of the technology’s ease of use and usefulness. The findings underscore the importance of aligning technological tools with educators’ professional motivations and educational objectives to promote successful technology integration. This research advances the theoretical understanding of technology adoption in education and offers practical insights for designing professional development and policy initiatives. Targeted strategies should address both motivational and behavioral dimensions to support holistic and sustainable technology adoption in educational contexts.
Sustainable Meat Production from a Marketing and Management Perspective: a Case Study of Kirsehir Province
(Society for Innovative Agriculture, University of Agriculture, 2025) Altuntaş, Başar; Özdemir, Halil Özcan
In recent years, a series of reports have been published highlighting the negative environmental impacts of meat production, emphasizing its substantial contribution to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Concerns regarding the high-water consumption associated with cattle farming and the environmental issues caused by livestock waste are among the significant barriers to the sustainability of meat production. The primary objective of this study is to conduct a situational analysis aimed at ensuring sustainable beef production and to evaluate the marketing and management strategies of enterprises operating in this field. To achieve this objective, a qualitative study was conducted with producers in Kirsehir. The findings reveal that producers’ local market knowledge, high-quality meat production, and awareness of sustainability stand out as key strengths. In contrast, the lack of integrated facilities, a declining young population, and price volatility were identified as major weaknesses. Key opportunities include the establishment of modern farms, digitalization, and geographical indication labeling. At the same time, climate change, water scarcity, and economic uncertainty pose critical threats. The findings highlight the need for adopting innovative technologies, environmentally friendly practices, and direct-to-consumer distribution channels. Branding, such as the “Kirsehir Beef” label, is crucial, and promoting local products through events can boost regional visibility. Environmental strategies, including reducing carbon footprints, producing biogas, and improving waste management, are also essential. Policymakers, NGOs, and academics must actively engage in promoting sustainable practices and developing strategies that balance environmental and economic goals.
Letter to the Editor: Comment on Tsiogka Et al.’s “Compound Heterozygosity for the C6777T Mutation of the MTHFR Gene and the FII G20210A Mutation of the Prothrombin Gene in Sequential Bilateral Anterior Ischemic Optic Neuropathy”
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2025) Örnek, Kemal
Dear Editor,
I read with great interest the paper entitled “Compound heterozygosity for the C6777T mutation of the MTHFR gene and the FII G20210A mutation of the prothrombin gene in sequential bilateral anterior ischemic optic neuropathy” by Tsiogka et al.Citation1 The authors reported a case of bilateral, sequential non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NA-AION) in a 52-year-old patient who was found to have mutations for the prothrombin and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) genes.
Investigation of İntegron Gene Cassettes in Trimethoprim-Sulfamethoxazole-Resistant Acinetobacter Baumannii İsolates
(Wroclaw Medical University, 2025) Öztürk, Cihat; Akyol, Rukiye; Küçükgünay, Sadık; Sevim, Elif
Background. The spread of antibiotic-resistance genes among healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) poses serious problems in the treatment of these infections. Recently, these resistance genes have also been shown to be present in integrons. Objectives. By focusing on integron-mediated mechanisms of antibiotic resistance, we sought to elucidate the genetic determinants underpinning the development of multidrug resistance in clinical isolates of Acinetobacter baumannii. Materials and methods. In this study, 27 TMP-SXT-resistant A. baumannii isolates were obtained from various clinical samples. Class I and class II integrons were determined using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Samples were sent for DNA sequence analysis of the integron to a private firm (BMLabosis, Ankara, Turkey). The similarities of the DNA sequences with the associated integron were determined using National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) GenBank. Results. While all isolates were resistant to TMT-SXT and gentamicin, amikacin and tobramycin resistance rates were detected as 70% and 26%, respectively. Class I and class II integrons were found in 1 strain and 2 isolates, respectively. It was also determined that the dfrA12 gene and the aadA2 gene were found in the class I integrons. It was determined that 2 isolates carrying class II integron had dfrA1 and sat2 genes. Both class I and class II integrons were detected in 1 of these isolates. Conclusions. Despite the low integron detection in the resistant isolates, with the detection of class I and class II integrons among A. baumannii isolates, it was determined that HAIs could spread very rapidly within the hospital and cause multidrug resistance. This study reveals the need for comprehensive surveillance and molecular characterization of integron-mediated resistance mechanisms to inform effective strategies to combat infections caused by multidrug-resistant (MDR) A. baumannii.

(Kırşehir Ahi Evran Üniversitesi, Fen Bilimleri Enstitüsü, 2026) Köse, Yaşar
Salisilaldehit Türevi Schiff Bazlarının Sentezi,Karakterizasyonu ve Antimikrobiyal Aktivitelerinin Belirlenmesi Bu tez çalışmasında, salisilaldehit türevi Schiff bazlarının sentezi, yapısalkarakterizasyonu ve antimikrobiyal aktivitelerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bukapsamda izatoik anhidritin farklı primer aminlerle reaksiyonu sonucu oluşan daha reaktiffarklı primer aminlerle salisilaldehitin kondensasyon reaksiyonları sonucunda yedi adetSchiff bazı bileşiği (4a–4g) klasik çözelti fazı yöntemleri kullanılarak sentezlenmiştir.Reaksiyonlar uygun çözücü ortamında, kontrollü koşullar altında gerçekleştirilmiş, eldeedilen ürünler kristalizasyon yoluyla saflaştırılmıştır. Sentezlenen bileşiklerin yapılarıFT-IR ve 1H/13C NMR spektroskopileri ile aydınlatılmış; imin (–C=N–) grubununoluşumu karakteristik spektral bantlar üzerinden doğrulanmıştır.

Sentezlenen Schiff bazlarınınantimikrobiyal aktiviteleri, disk difüzyon yöntemiyle çeşitli Gram-pozitif ve Gram-negatif bakteri türlerine karşı değerlendirilmiştir. Antimikrobiyal testler, Clinical andLaboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) standartlarına uygun olarak yürütülmüş,bileşiklerin inhibisyon zon çapları ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen sonuçlar, bazı salisilaldehittürevi Schiff bazlarının özellikle belirli mikroorganizmalara karşı anlamlı düzeydeantimikrobiyal etki gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, bu çalışma salisilaldehittemelli Schiff bazlarının hem yapısal özellikleri hem de potansiyel antimikrobiyaluygulamaları açısından önemli veriler sunmakta; gelecekte yapılacak farmasötik vebiyoinorganik araştırmalar için temel oluşturmaktadır.
