The role of agomelatine in appetite regulation and body weight in rats
No full textThe hypothalamic nuclei play a central role in the synthesis of anorexigenic and orexigenic neuropeptides, which are regulated by peripheral hormones, like leptin and ghrelin. Melatonergic receptors (MT1/MT2) are prominently expressed in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus - an essential hub for appetite control - and in peripheral metabolic tissues where leptin and ghrelin are secreted. Agomelatine, an antidepressant drug and potent MT1/MT2 agonist, offers potential for modulating appetite. This study aimed to investigate the impact of agomelatine on appetite regulation. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly allocated into four groups, control (no treatment), vehicle control, agomelatine 20 mg/kg (Ago-20), and agomelatine 40 mg/kg (Ago-40), and administered oral gavage for 14 days. Body weight and food intake were recorded daily. At the end of the experiment, rats were euthanized and blood and hypothalamic tissue samples were obtained. Agomelatine significantly reduced body weight (Ago-40: 275.2 +/- 7.2 g vs. control: 339.7 +/- 8.3 g, P < 0.05) and food intake (Ago-40: 20.21 +/- 1.32 g vs. control: 32.09 +/- 1.58 g, P < 0.05) by day 14, without affecting water intake. Plasma ghrelin levels decreased (Ago-40: 22.54 +/- 3.95 ng/dL vs. control: 46.67 +/- 4.84 ng/dL, P < 0.05), while leptin increased (Ago-40: 552.30 +/- 41.67 pg/mL vs. control: 271.10 +/- 32.12 pg/mL P < 0.05). Hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptides neuropeptide Y (NPY) and agouti-related peptide (AgRP) were suppressed (NPY, Ago40: 0.61 +/- 0.02 vs. Control: 1.36 +/- 0.1321; AgRP, Ago40: 0.52 +/- 0.03 vs. Control: 1.49 +/- 0.27, P < 0.05), while anorexigenic cocaine- and amphetamine-regulated transcript (CART) and proopiomelanocortin (POMC) were elevated (CART: Ago40: 1.19 +/- 0.08 vs. Control: 0.92 +/- 0.06; POMC: Ago40: 1.49 +/- 0.17 vs. Control: 0.67 +/- 0.10, P < 0.05). These findings suggest agomelatine promotes weight loss by modulating appetite-related hormones and hypothalamic neuropeptides, highlighting its potential as a therapeutic for obesity and metabolic disorders.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUEBITAK) [222S915]The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUEBITAK),Grant/AwardNumber:222S91

Sonuç olarak, veri çeşitliliği, açıklanabilirlik ve model güvenilirliği gibi bazı sınırlılıklar bulunsa da, yapay zekânın gıda sistemlerine entegrasyonu, bu alanın geleceğinde daha akıllı, sürdürülebilir, izlenebilir ve tüketici odaklı çözümlerin önünü açacak önemli bir dönüşüm süreci olarak değerlendirilmiştir.This study provides a comprehensive overview of the current and potential applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques in the field of food science and technology. It begins with an explanation of key concepts related to machine learning, including learning types (supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning) and commonly used traditional algorithms such as decision trees, support vector machines, artificial neural networks, and k-nearest neighbors. The study then explores how various subfields of AI—particularly natural language processing (NLP), image processing, and Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring systems—are applied in food science. Representative applications are presented in areas such as product labeling, content analysis, sentiment analysis on social media, product recognition, spoilage detection, and food safety monitoring systems. A literature-based review demonstrates that AI-powered methods are effectively used in critical tasks including quality control, shelf life prediction, sensory evaluation, consumer preference analysis, and early detection of microbial or chemical spoilage. Moreover, these technologies contribute to the development of data-driven decision support systems that can enhance operational efficiency across the food supply chain. Despite certain limitations such as data heterogeneity, lack of interpretability, and model reliability, the integration of AI into food systems is assessed as a transformative process. It is expected to pave the way for smarter, more sustainable, traceable, and consumer-oriented food systems in the near future
DİJİTAL ÇAĞDA YÖNETİM: E-DEVLET VE BİLİŞİM UYGULAMALARI SONRASINDA YEREL YÖNETİMLER: MAHALLE MUHTARLIKLARI ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
No full textBu makale, bilişim teknolojilerinin mahalle muhtarlıkları üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektedir. Bilişim teknolojilerinin yerel yönetim birimlerinden mahalle muhtarlıkları üzerindeki etkilerini ele alan bu çalışma, özellikle e-devlet uygulamalarının mahalle muhtarlıklarının işlevlerini nasıl dönüştürdüğü ve dijitalleşmenin hizmet sunum süreçlerine katkıları incelenmiştir. E-devlet uygulamaları ve dijitalleşme süreçleri, muhtarlıkların geleneksel görevlerini dönüştürmüş, hizmet sunumlarını daha hızlı ve etkili hale getirmiştir. Çalışmada, muhtarlıkların tarihsel gelişimi ve dijital çağdaki rolü, kırsal ve kentsel alanlar arasındaki farklılıklarla birlikte tartışılmıştır. Özellikle kırsal ve kentsel muhtarlıklar arasındaki dijitalleşme farkları üzerinde durulmuştur. Dijitalleşme sürecinin, hizmetlerin daha şeffaf ve hızlı sunulmasını sağlarken, altyapı ve bilgi eksiklikleri nedeniyle bazı muhtarlıklarda zorluklara yol açtığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca dijitalleşme sürecinin daha katılımcı bir yönetim sunduğu, ancak bazı muhtarlıkların altyapı eksiklikleri ve dijital okuryazarlık konularında zorluklar yaşadığı belirtilmiştir. E-devlet ve CİMER gibi platformlar, vatandaşların muhtarlıklarla olan ilişkilerini değiştirirken, muhtarların rollerini de yeniden tanımlamıştır. Mahalle muhtarlıkları, dijitalleşmenin getirdiği yeniliklerle yerel yönetim süreçlerinde aktif bir rol oynamaya devam etmekte, ancak klasik işlevlerinin bazılarının bu süreçte azaldığına dikkat çekilmektedir. Yaygın bir e devlet uygulamasıyla birlikte mahalle muhtarlıklarının geleneksel işlevlerinin ortadan kalktığı ve artık gerekliliğinin tartışılması gerektiği dile getirilmiştir.This article examines the impact of information technologies on neighborhood headmanships. Focusing on the effects of information technologies on local governance units, particularly neighborhood headmen, the study explores how e-government applications have transformed the functions of headmen and contributed to the digitalization of service delivery processes. E-government applications and digitalization processes have reshaped the traditional roles of headmen, making service delivery faster and more efficient. The article discusses the historical development of headmanships and their role in the digital age, highlighting the differences between rural and urban areas. The digitalization process has made services more transparent and faster but has also led to challenges for some headmen due to infrastructure deficiencies and knowledge gaps. It is noted that while digitalization offers a more participatory governance model, certain headmen, especially in rural areas, face difficulties due to a lack of infrastructure and digital literacy. Platforms like e-government and CİMER have altered citizens' interactions with headmen and redefined their roles. Neighborhood headmanships continue to play an active role in local governance through digital innovations, but some traditional functions have diminished in this process. The article concludes by suggesting that with the widespread implementation of e-government, the traditional functions of neighborhood headmen may become obsolete, and their necessity should be questioned
Investigation of high temperature wear and cyclic oxidation behavior of pack-aluminized Inconel 601
No full textIN601 (Inconel 601) superalloy sample surfaces were subjected to pack-aluminizing heat treatment at 700 degrees C for 4-h treatment period. The microstructural changes in the produced samples were assessed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the phase structures of the treated surfaces were studied with X-ray diffractometry (XRD). To investigate the effect of thermochemical surface hardening on the high temperature tribological performance of the produced samples, dry sliding pin-on-disc wear tests were performed at room temperature and 400 degrees C under 7 N and 15 N loads. Microhardness and nano hardness measurements were also performed on the sample cross-sections. High temperature wear tests showed that, thermochemical surface hardening reduced the specific wear rates by nearly 39 %, 38 %, 49 % and 51 % under room temperature and 7 N, room temperature and 15 N, 400 degrees C and 7 N, and 400 degrees C and 15 N, respectively. Heat treatment enhanced the microhardness and nano hardness of the samples by nearly 382 % and 394 %, respectively. The enhancement of wear performance and hardness values is mainly attributed to the formation of hard aluminide phases after heat treatment. Cyclic oxidation tests were performed at 1000 degrees C in 10-h cycles amounting to a total of 50 h. Despite the formation of local damages within the oxide layer, the persistent presence of the alumina layer in aluminized IN601 forming after the oxidation cycles significantly improved the oxidation resistance as the rate constants for were calculated as 0.0013 mg1.86.cm-3.71 and 0.0173 mg1.94.cm-3.87 for aluminized IN601 and bare IN601, respectively
Social media burnout and social anxiety as antecedents of discontinuous usage in the stressor-strain-outcome framework
No full textThis study aims to examine the structural relationships between problematic social media use (PSMU), social anxiety on social networking sites (SNSs), social media burnout (SMB), and discontinuous use from a stress-strain-outcome (SSO) framework. The research sample is 715 college students in T & uuml;rkiye (58.5% female, Mage: 21.71). Based on the SSO framework, PSMU and users' social anxiety on SNSs were identified as stressors. In response to these stressors, users' experience of SMB was determined as strain. As a result of this strain, users' discontinuous use of SNSs was identified as the outcome. Moderated mediation analyses revealed that SMB mediated the negative effect of PSMU on discontinuous use. The mediating effect of SMB was moderated by users' social anxiety on SNSs. Users' social anxiety on SNSs had a buffering moderating effect on the relationship between PSMU and discontinuous use. The moderating effect of users' social anxiety on SNSs was significant in the positive relationship between SMB and discontinuous use. SMB was positively correlated with both PSMU and discontinuous use. Similarly, self-evaluation anxiety and shared content anxiety were positively correlated with both PSMU and discontinuous use. These findings provide empirical evidence for the relatively new SMB paradox literature and extend the paradox of social anxiety phenomenon, which reveals contradictions in the face-to-face socialization process, to social media. The results demonstrate complex relationships between the antecedents of discontinuous use from the SSO framework.Scientific Research Coordination Unit of Anadolu University [SCB-2024-2493]This study was supported by the Scientific Research Coordination Unit of Anadolu University under the project number SCB-2024-2493

The synthesis, carbonic anhydrase and acetylcholinesterase inhibition effects of sulfonyl chloride moiety containing oxazolidinones using an intramolecular aza-Michael addition
No full textOxazolidinones are used as various potent antibiotics, in organisms it acts as a protein synthesis inhibitor, focusing on an initial stage that encompasses the tRNA binding process. Novel intramolecular aza-Michael reactions devoid of metal catalysts have been introduced in an oxazolidone synthesis pathway, different from alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. Oxazolidinone derivatives were tested against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), carbonic anhydrase I and II (hCA I and hCA II) enzymes. All the synthesized compounds had potent inhibition effects with Ki values in the range of 13.57 +/- 0.98 - 53.60 +/- 6.81 mu M against hCA I and 9.96 +/- 1.02 - 46.35 +/- 3.83 mu M against hCA II in comparison to the acetazolamide (AZA) (Ki = 50.46 +/- 6.17 mu M for hCA I) and for hCA II (Ki = 41.31 +/- 5.05 mu M). Also, most of the compounds demonstrated potent inhibition ability towards AChE enzyme with Ki values 78.67-231.75 nM and compared to tacrine (TAC) as standard clinical inhibitor (Ki = 142.48 nM). Furthermore, ADMET analysis and molecular docking were calculated using the AChE, hCA I and hCA II enzyme proteins to correlate the data with the experimental data. In this work, recent applications of a stereoselective aza-Michael reaction as an efficient tool for of nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffolds and their useful to pharmacology analogs are reviewed and summarized.Communicated by Ramaswamy H.

Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposite Films: Chitosan/Polycaprolactone Matrix Reinforced with Green-Synthesized Silver NPs
No full textThe synthesis and characterization of Chitosan/Polycaprolactone (CHT/PCL) polymer nanocomposites doped with silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were conducted for antimicrobial applications. Ag NPs were synthesized using a green method with Sambucus ebulus L. extract, and the nanocomposites were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM images revealed Ag NPs with an average size of similar to 100 nm, while XRD analysis showed a marked increase in crystallinity with higher Ag NP content, indicating improved structural properties. The antimicrobial activity was assessed against Escherichia coli ATCC 25,322, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25,923, and Candida albicans FMC17 using the disk diffusion method. The results demonstrated significant antimicrobial activity, with inhibition zones increasing with Ag NP concentrations, particularly against E. coli and C. albicans. The nanocomposites exhibited a 9 mm inhibition zone for E. coli and 10 mm for C. albicans at 3 wt% Ag NP concentration. However, the activity against S. aureus was less pronounced, particularly at higher Ag NP concentrations, potentially due to nanoparticle aggregation. The inclusion of Ag NPs also enhanced the physical properties of the nanocomposites, including increased swelling degree and gel content, although the shape memory effect was observed to be more prominent in films with lower Ag NP concentrations. Overall, CHT/PCL/Ag NP nanocomposites show promising potential for antimicrobial applications, offering a balance of enhanced antimicrobial activity, improved physical properties, and some limitations in activity against certain bacterial strains.Management Unit of the Scientific Research Projects of Fimath;rat University (FUBAP) [FF 24.33]This work was supported by the Management Unit of the Scientific Research Projects of F & imath;rat University (FUBAP) (Project Number: FF 24.33)
Climate smart city and landscape context in the framework of sustainability: Case of Bartin
No full textKentlerin hem iklim krizini derinleştiren nedenleri barındırmaları hem de iklim değişikliğine karşı savunmasızlıklarına karşın, uyum ve azaltım çabalarına öncülük edebilecek potansiyelleri bulunmaktadır. Küresel amaçların odak noktasında, uluslararası ortaklıklarla kurulan politikaların desteklediği sürdürülebilir kentlere ulaşma nihai hedefi bulunmaktadır. "İklim-akıllı kentler", akıllı kentin sistemsel işleyişine iklime duyarlı stratejilerin entegre olduğu bir kavram olup sürdürülebilir kentlere ulaşmada destekleyici bir unsur olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kentlerin iklim değişikliği azaltım ve uyum olmak üzere iki boyutuyla da ele alındığı sektörlerden oluşan bir çerçevede değerlendirilmesinin kentlere bir yol haritası sunacağından yola çıkılarak, Bartın Belediyesi ve Mücavir Alan Sınırında alan çalışması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu çalışma, Bartın kentinin iklim kriziyle mücadelede mevcut kapasitesini değerlendirmeyi ve bu kapasitenin geliştirilmesine yönelik azaltım ve uyum odaklı eylemler ortaya koymayı amaçlamaktadır. Mevcut durum tespiti için, hem azaltım hem de uyum önlemlerini değerlendirmeye elverişli, kentlerin iklim dayanıklılığını artırmaya yardımcı olacak bir araç olarak "İklim-Akıllı Kentler Değerlendirme Çerçevesi 3.0"dan yararlanılmıştır. Bu çerçeve, "Kentsel Planlama, Yeşil Örtü ve Biyoçeşitlilik; Enerji ve Yeşil Binalar; Kentsel Mobilite ve Hava Kalitesi; Su ve Atık Yönetimi" sektörlerini kapsamaktadır. Uluslararası kalkınma amaçları, ulusal kalkınma hedefleri ve yerel ihtiyaçlar doğrultusunda çerçeveye "Gıda Güvencesi ve Kentsel Tarım" ile "Korunan Alan Oranı" göstergeleri eklenmiş; tüm göstergeler ülkenin azaltım ve uyum taahhütleri ile mevzuat temelinde gerekçelendirilmiştir. Peyzaj bağlamında "iklim-akıllı kentlere" yönelik bütüncül bir perspektif sunan bu nihai çerçeve, alan çalışması kapsamında Bartın Belediyesi ve Mücavir Alanında değerlendirilmiş ve kente ilişkin kanıtlar derlenerek Bartın'ın İklim-Akıllı Kent Puanı 45,05 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Bu puan, Bartın'ı "İklim Trend Öncüsü" konumuna taşıyarak "İklim eylem planlamasına başlayan veya planlamayı mümkün kılmak için kurumsal mekanizmalara sahip kent" sınıflamasında konumlandırmıştır. Bu değerlendirmeden hareketle, sektörlerdeki göstergelerde saptanan eksikliklere odaklanan, kentin mekânsal gelişim eğilimleri ile iklim değişikliğiyle ilişkili su ve erozyon süreçlerini dikkate alan ve yöntem çerçevesi ile yönetişime yönelik ek önerileri içeren bir "Eylem Planı" oluşturulmuştur. Söz konusu plan; bir amaç, altı hedef, on strateji ve 38 eylemden oluşmakta olup kurumlar arası işbirliğini de teşvik etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın, yerel yönetimlerin iklim değişikliğiyle mücadelede hangi sektörlerin önceliklendirileceği, hangi kurumlarla işbirliği yapılacağı ve başarıya ulaşmak için hangi somut adımların atılacağına dair belirgin, ölçülebilir, ulaşılabilir, ilgili ve zamana bağlı (SMART) bir yol haritası sunması beklenmektedir.Although cities both contain factors that exacerbate the climate crisis and are vulnerable to climate change, they also have the potential to lead adaptation and mitigation efforts. Within the global agenda, supported by international partnerships and policies aimed at achieving sustainable cities "climate-smart cities" emerge as a concept that integrates climate-responsive strategies into the systemic operation of smart cities. Based on the idea that evaluating cities within a framework consisting of sectors addressing both mitigation and adaptation to the climate change would provide a roadmap for urban areas, a case study was conducted within the Bartın Municipality and its adjacent jurisdiction. The primary objective of this study was to assess Bartın's current capacity to address the climate crisis and to develop mitigation- and adaptation-focused actions that would strengthen this capacity. For the purpose of assessing the current situation, the "Climate-Smart Cities Assessment Framework 3.0" was employed as a tool conducive to evaluating both mitigation and adaptation measures and to enhancing cities' climate resilience. This framework comprises the sectors of "Urban Planning, Green Cover and Biodiversity; Energy and Green Buildings; Mobility and Air Quality; Water Management and Waste Management." in alignment with international development goals, national development targets, and local priorities, the indicators "Food Security and Urban Agriculture" and "Proportion of Protected Areas" were also integrated into the framework. All indicators were substantiated with reference to the country's mitigation and adaptation commitments and relevant regulations. Offering a holistic perspective on climate-smart cities from a landscape standpoint, the finalized framework was applied within the Bartın Municipality and its environs. Empirical evidence gathered through this process determined Bartın's Climate-Smart City Score to be 45,05. This score classifies Bartın as a "Climate Trendsetter" and situates it "among cities that have initiated climate action planning or have institutional mechanisms in place to facilitate such planning"
Impact of attapulgite and basalt fiber additions on the performance of pumice-based foam concrete: mechanical, thermal, and durability properties
No full textThis study explored the combined effects of using attapulgite (ATP) as a partial cement replacement and basalt fibers (BF) as reinforcement in the development of high-performance foam concrete (FC) with 100% pumice aggregate. The experimental program included preparing FC mixtures with ATP replacements at 10%, 20%, and 30% by cement weight, and adding BF at volume fractions of 0.5%, 1.0%, and 2.0%. Key properties assessed were fresh flowability, compressive and flexural strengths, stress-strain behavior, thermal conductivity, and durability under sulfate exposure and high temperatures. Findings revealed a synergistic effect between ATP and BF, leading to significant performance enhancements across various parameters. The mixture with 30% ATP and 0.5% BF exhibited the highest compressive strength, reaching 19.45 MPa at 28 days and 22.11 MPa at 90 days, indicating improvements of 129.3% and 85.3% over the reference mix, respectively. This combination also achieved the lowest sorptivity, improved thermal stability, and better sulfate resistance, making it highly suitable for structural applications in harsh environments. In addition, the mixture with 10% ATP and 0.5% BF demonstrated the lowest thermal conductivity, reducing heat transfer by 4.2% compared to the control, which is beneficial for thermal insulation in building materials. Microstructural analysis using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that ATP's pozzolanic reactivity led to a denser microstructure with stronger bonding, while BF effectively bridged micro-cracks, enhancing the FC matrix's durability. Overall, these results highlighted the potential of ATP and BF to significantly enhance FC's mechanical, thermal, and durability properties, providing an eco-friendly solution with lower cement use and greater resilience to environmental stressors. This study contributes to sustainable construction technology by showcasing how ATP and BF can optimize FC performance, supporting its wider use in the construction industry.Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUEBITAK)Open access funding provided by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUEBITAK).
