A New Society Emerges in Anatolia: Bioarcheological Perspectives on the Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic Population of the Gökhöyük (GH)
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2026) Şener, Elçin; Taş, Ali; Erkman, Ahmet Cem
Gökhöyük (GH), dates to the Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic periods, is situated in proximity to other significant tells, such as Çatalhöyük (CH), which holds a prominent place in global archaeological discourse. This study provides a crucial glimpse into the lives of GH's earliest inhabitants through the analysis of their skeletal remains. The research was structured around three primary objectives. First, it aimed to conduct a qualitative assessment of pathologies present in the GH population based on paleopathological findings. Second, it sought to uncover aspects of daily life within the settlement and offer insights into its subsistence economy. Lastly, the study endeavored to contribute to the development of bioarcheological methodologies and comparative analyses of contemporaneous Late Neolithic and Early Chalcolithic settlements in Anatolia. The minimum number of individuals identified within the community was established at 37. The presence of various degenerative joint disorders, metabolic conditions, and periostitis was documented. Findings suggest that the GH population subsisted primarily on a carbohydrate-rich diet, intricately linked to a socioeconomic framework dominated by pastoralism and agricultural activities.
Some Results of Korovkin Type For Nonlinear Operators
(Springer, 2026) Taş, Emre; Aykanat, Sevil
The Korovkin theorem (Korovkin, Linear Operators and Approximation Theory. Hindustan Publishing Corporation, Delhi, 1960) has significant importance within the field of approximation theory and has spawned numerous generalizations. Among these, nonlinear extensions of the Korovkin theorem stand out as particularly noteworthy. In the chapter, we present Korovkin-type theorems for nonlinear operators using the power series summability method. Additionally, we provide an example demonstrating that our results are more general than the classical ones.
Assessing the Correlation Among Soil Quality, Tree Species, and Productivity in Forest Ecosystems using SMAF Method
(Namik Kemal University - Agricultural Faculty, 2026) Reis, Ahmet; Acir, Nurullah; Dindaroğlu, Turgay
Ensuring soil quality and sustainability is of vital importance in combating global climate change and desertification. Factors such as weakening of vegetation, soil erosion, compaction, and degradation reduce soil fertility, thus impacting soil quality. Evaluating soil quality accurately is essential, and the Soil Management Assessment Framework (SMAF) is a method that uses soil indicators to assess soil properties comprehensively. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship among tree species, bonitet classes, and soil quality in forest ecosystems at the watershed scale using the SMAF method. The research took place in the Karasu Watershed in Akifiye, Andırın district of Kahramanmaraş province. Soil indicators were selected from the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Soil indicators such as aggregate stability, water-filled pore volume, bulk density, carbon content, nutrient levels, pH, and electrical conductivity were used to determine soil quality indices in forest stands. Soil quality indices were determined and statistically interpreted by applying the SMAF method between tree species and bonitet classes in forest lands. Results showed that soil quality was lowest in black pine stands (69.42%) and the highest in oak stands (77.31%). Leafy stands had statistically higher soil quality. Soil quality indices ranged from 72.54 to 74.75 across bonitet classes, which are indicators of productivity (bonitet) in forest stands. No significant differences were found between bonitet classes and soil quality scores in karst forest ecosystems due to their karstic characteristics. Although soil quality may be high in karst areas, shallow soil depth limits plant growth. Therefore, a high soil quality index in karst areas can correspond to a low bonitet class. The negative effects of production activities and silvicultural interventions in forest ecosystems on soil quality can be eliminated by activities such as soil tillage. Implementing management strategies that prioritize soil protection and improvement in forest ecosystems with natural plant cover will enhance soil functionality and ensure long-term soil quality sustainability.
Biodiversity and Categories of İnsects on Lucerne Crop at El-Outaya Bio-Resources Station (CRSTRA-Biskra, Algeria)
(National Documentation Centre, 2026) Bengouga, K.; Taharchaouche, S.; Bettiche, F.; Bozdoğan, H.
Lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) is the main forage crop cultivated in the El-Outaya plain (Biskra, Algeria); however, information on the associated insect community remains limited for the region. Studying insects associated with this crop allows an assessment of their roles and ecological importance within the production system. This study aims to assess insect diversity, functional guild composition, and ecological roles within a pesticide-free lucerne agro-ecosystem. Insects were sampled weekly during the 2018 growing season, using circular yellow water traps, placed in a lucerne field and an adjacent bare-ground control. A total of 4655 insect specimens were collected and found to represent 80 species, 80 genera, 47 families, and seven orders. The main functional groups recorded were phytophagous species (47.5%), entomophagous (27.5%), and pollinators (13.75%), while detritivorous, hematophagous, scavengers, and saprophagous species accounted altogether for 11.25%. Most phytophagous species belonged to the order Hemiptera, whereas beneficial insects were mainly Hymenoptera. The Shannon–Wiener diversity index was higher in lucerne (H′=1.415) than in the bare control (H′=1.137), indicating the positive effect of crop presence on insect diversity. Long-term lucerne cultivation (approximately 10 years), providing both favourable microclimate and abundant nutritious food, under pesticide-free conditions, likely promoted the establishment of a structurally diverse and functionally balanced insect community consisting mainly of pollinators and phytophagous species, which in turn support predator populations. These findings provide baseline data for integrated pest management strategies and highlight the ecological value of lucerne agro-ecosystems in arid regions.
