European Consensus on Functional Bloating and Abdominal Distension-An Esnm/Ueg Recommendations for Clinical Management
No full textHammer, Heinz F./0000-0001-8683-4951; Barba Orozco, Elizabeth/0000-0002-5986-6592;Introduction: Abdominal distension is an objective visible sign of increased abdominal girth. Bloating is a feeling of abdominal fullness and discomfort. Bloating may be associated or not with abdominal distension. Bloating and abdominal distension are among the most commonly reported gastrointestinal symptoms and may be associated with both organic and functional disorders. Nevertheless, specific consensus and recommendations on diagnosis, underlying mechanisms, assessment and management of functional bloating and abdominal distension are still lacking. The aim of this European consensus, then, is to provide expert opinions and recommendations on the epidemiology, diagnosis, pathophysiology and treatment of functional bloating and abdominal distension. Methods: A multidisciplinary team of experts in the field, including European specialists and national societies, participated in the development of this consensus. Relevant questions were formulated and addressed through a literature review and statements were developed and voted using a Delphi process. Results: Functional bloating and abdominal distension are common and frequently overlap with other disorders of gut-brain interaction. Diagnosis is made according to the Rome IV criteria after the exclusion of organic disease, based on the physical examination and assessment of the patient's medical history and alarming signs. In the absence of alarming signs or any relevant finding, clinical laboratory, imaging or endoscopic tests are unnecessary. The pathophysiology of functional bloating and abdominal distension is multifactorial and involves visceral hypersensitivity, abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia, intestinal dysmotility and dysbiosis. Treatment may include dietary modifications (e.g. lactose-limiting diet and low FODMAP diet), probiotics, antispasmodics (e.g., otilonium bromide, peppermint oil), rifaximin, secretagogues (e.g., linaclotide), neuromodulators (e.g., serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, tricyclic antidepressants, buspirone), and plethysmography-based biofeedback. Moreover, cognitive behaviour therapy and hypnotherapy can be used in case of functional bloating associated with irritable bowel syndrome. Conclusion: This consensus provides an evidence-based framework for the evaluation and treatment of patients with functional bloating and abdominal distension.This project was funded by The United European Gastroenterology Activity Grant in Support of Standards ; Guidelines initiatives.United European Gastroenterology Activity Grant in Support of Standards ; Guidelines initiative
Future Circular Collider Feasibility Study Report: Volume 3 Civil Engineering, Implementation and Sustainability
No full textVolume 3 of the FCC Feasibility Report presents studies related to civil engineering, the development of a project implementation scenario, and environmental and sustainability aspects. The report details the iterative improvements made to the civil engineering concepts since 2018, taking into account subsurface conditions, accelerator and experiment requirements, and territorial considerations. It outlines a technically feasible and economically viable civil engineering configuration that serves as the baseline for detailed subsurface investigations, construction design, cost estimation, and project implementation planning. Additionally, the report highlights ongoing subsurface investigations in key areas to support the development of an improved 3D subsurface model of the region. The report describes the development of the project scenario based on the ‘avoid-reduce-compensate’ iterative optimisation approach. The reference scenario balances optimal physics performance with territorial compatibility, implementation risks, and costs. Environmental field investigations covering almost 600 hectares of terrain—including numerous urban, economic, social, and technical aspects—confirmed the project’s technical feasibility and contributed to the preparation of essential input documents for the formal project authorisation phase. The summary also highlights the initiation of public dialogue as part of the authorisation process. The results of a comprehensive socio-economic impact assessment, which included significant environmental effects, are presented. Even under the most conservative and stringent conditions, a positive benefit-cost ratio for the FCC-ee is obtained. Finally, the report provides a summary of the studies conducted to document the current state of the environment. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
A Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Energy-Efficient Hydrogen Production and Ethanol Upgrading into Acetate via Hybrid Seawater Splitting
No full textThe sluggish kinetics of the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the competing chlorine evolution reaction (CER) significantly limit the efficiency of seawater electrolysis for hydrogen production. Replacing OER/CER with thermodynamically more favorable anodic reactions presents a promising strategy for reducing energy consumption and overcoming chlorine-based toxic products. This study reports a hybrid seawater electrolysis system that couples the ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) with the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER), enabling the co-production of green hydrogen and value-added potassium acetate in alkaline seawater. Utilizing bimetallic NiCu hierarchical nanostructures supported on nickel foam (NiCu–HNS@NF) as a bifunctional electrocatalyst, this promising system required 220 mV less potential for EOR compared to OER to achieve a current density of 20 mA cm−2. Meanwhile, the HER required a low overpotential of only 97 mV to attain the same current density, with a faradaic efficiency (FE) of 97.6%. The COinf>2/inf>-free selective conversion of ethanol into acetate, along with the high faradaic efficiency (FE) for Hinf>2/inf>, may be attributed to the bubbles-templated interconnected hierarchical nanostructures and the bimetallic synergistic effect. This study highlights the potential of ethanol-assisted seawater electrolysis as an energy-efficient and economically viable platform for sustainable hydrogen production and biomass valorization. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
A Novel Approach to Correction of Features from Image Matching in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Navigation Through Clustering and Triangular Similarity
No full textAntalya Bilim University; IEEEFeature extraction and matching are critical in image-based models, particularly for the navigation of unmanned aerial and ground vehicles. While classical methods have been widely used, deep learning techniques are increasingly favored due to their superior performance. However, both approaches are sensitive to perspective differences, often resulting in incorrect matches, sometimes outnumbering correct ones. Although various traditional and deep learning-based algorithms exist to mitigate this issue, they do not consistently yield optimal results. This paper presents a novel method to eliminate high-density outlier matches to enhance matching accuracy. The proposed approach leverages triangular similarities among matched features and groups randomly selected feature sets. A three-dimensional simulation environment was developed, and a dataset was prepared to evaluate the algorithm. The performance of the proposed method was compared with existing algorithms using simulation images and real-life public datasets captured from various aerial angles. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved
Preferred Retinal Locus in Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
No full textObjectives: To evaluate foveal lesion and preferred retinal locus (PRL) locations and their effects on visual acuity in juvenile macular dystrophy (JMD) patients. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, 14 JMD patients (28 eyes) with bilateral central vision loss were examined using scanning laser ophthalmoscope/optical coherence tomography. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), dimensions and location of the macular lesion, PRL location, and PRL stability were evaluated. Results: Mean BCVA was 0.84 +/- 0.17 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution. PRL was superiorly located in 64.3% of eyes and nasally located in 35.7%. PRL location was significantly associated with patient age (r=0.541, p=0.002); nasally located PRLs were more common in younger patients (mean age 15.1 +/- 2.8 years) while superiorly located PRLs were more common in older patients (mean age 22.4 +/- 6.9 years). Superiorly located PRLs were significantly closer to the fovea than nasally located PRLs (p=0.014). Visual acuity worsened as lesion size increased and PRL-fovea distance increased. PRL-fovea distance was longer in younger patients and positively correlated with lesion dimensions and PRL-lesion distance. Conclusion: In JMD patients, PRLs are predominantly located superiorly or nasally. In younger patients, PRLs are typically located nasally and farther from the fovea, with poorer visual acuity compared to older patients. Cortical adaptation mechanisms may play a role in changing PRL location with age. Understanding PRL characteristics in JMD is crucial for developing effective low-vision rehabilitation strategies

In Run 2 (2015-2018), about 140 fb(-1) of proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV were collected by the ATLAS experiment. This review presents the most important Run 2 results obtained by the ATLAS Collaboration regarding the properties of the Higgs boson and its interactions with other particles. The performed studies significantly enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson, while hunting for deviations from the predictions of the Standard Model of particle physics.

Caught in the Middle: Examining Pedestrian and Driver Responses to Aggressive Driving
No full textBu çalışma, bireylerin trafikte hem yaya hem de sürücü olarak üstlendikleri çift rolleri incelemektedir. Bu roller bağlamında agresif sürüş davranışları ve trafikle ilgili diğer etkileşimlere yönelik algı ve tutumlarını araştırmaktadır. Rol Teorisi çerçevesinde, toplumsal beklentilerin ve rol çatışmalarının söz konusu tutumları nasıl şekillendirdiği derinlemesine ele alınmaktadır. Ayrıca, bireylerin bu ikili rol arasında yaşadığı psikolojik ve davranışsal zorluklara dair kapsamlı bir inceleme yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Toplamda 10 kadın ve 10 erkek katılımcıyla gerçekleştirilen görüşmeler aracılığıyla nitel araştırma yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Katılımcıların trafikle ilgili deneyimleri tematik analiz yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda iki ana tema belirlenmiştir: Yaya Davranışları ve Sürücü Davranışları. Yaya davranışları, trafik akışı ve güvenliği etkileyen öngörülebilir ve öngörülemez hareket örüntüleri olmak üzere iki alt kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Sürücü davranışları ise olumlu davranışlar (örneğin, kurallara uyma, yayalara öncelik verme) ve olumsuz davranışlar (örneğin, agresif sürüş, yaya haklarını ihlal etme) şeklinde sınıflandırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, yaya ve sürücü rollerinin dinamiklerini ve etkileşimlerinin karmaşıklığını ortaya koymaktadır. Bu bağlamda sonuçlar, daha güvenli ve iş birliğine dayalı trafik ortamlarının oluşturulmasında Rol Teorisi’nin sağlayabileceği katkılara ve buna yönelik eğitimsel ve politika odaklı müdahalelerin gerekliliğine dikkat çekmektedir

An Adaptation and Reliability Study of the Flemish CVI Questionnaire for the Screening of Cerebral Visual Impairment in Preschool-Age Children with Cerebral Palsy
No full textIntroduction: This study aimed to adapt the Flemish CVI Questionnaire (FCVIQ) Turkish form for screening cerebral visual impairment (CVI) in preschool-age children with cerebral palsy (CP). Additionally, it sought to explore the relationship between FCVIQ scores and visual abilities. Method: The study involved 137 preschool-age children. The FCVIQ’s test-retest reliability and construct validity were assessed, and its components were identified through factor analysis. Logistic regression analyzed the FCVIQ’s predictive power for Visual Function Classification System (VFCS) levels. Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves determined optimal cut-off values. Results: The FCVIQ demonstrated strong test-retest reliability and revealed three components. The first component showed a strong positive correlation with VFCS levels. ROC analysis yielded optimal cut-off values for scoring methods, indicating the FCVIQ’s robust predictive performance. Conclusion: This study identifies distinct characteristics of CVI cases in children with CP and highlights the FCVIQ’s reliability and three-component structure.

18 ve 19. Yüzyıl Sırp Aydınlanmasında Bilimsel Dönüşüm
No full textThis thesis examines the Serbian Enlightenment as a complex, hybrid movement shaped by imperial rule, religious tradition, and rationalist modernity. It was not merely an imitation of Western models but a culturally negotiated response to the challenges of being a non-sovereign Orthodox society caught between the Ottoman, Habsburg, and Russian empires. The study argues that vernacularization—using spoken Serbian to discuss science and education—was the primary way the Enlightenment ideas were adapted to local needs. This vernacular shift marks the scientific turn: a move from devotional learning toward empirical, utilitarian knowledge that re-centred Serbian intellectual life on observation, measurement, and public usefulness. Through close analysis of figures such as Dositej Obradović, Teodor Janković-Mirijevski, and Vuk Karadžić, the thesis employs a transnational and entangled history approach to trace shifts in language, intellectual networks, and pedagogy across imperial and cultural boundaries. It reveals how Orthodox institutions spread the Enlightenment ideas, how state-funded schools transformed them, and how literature and folklore made them accessible to the public. Reformers did not reject Orthodoxy but merged reason with Christian humanism to form a rational piety compatible with the Enlightenment values. By rethinking the links between imperial constraint, cultural innovation, and vernacular mobilization, the thesis repositions the Serbian Enlightenment within broader European and Balkan intellectual currents, challenging narratives that marginalize the 'peripheral' Enlightenments.Bu tez, Sırp Aydınlanmasını imparatorluk yönetimi, dini gelenek ve akılcı modernitenin şekillendirdiği karmaşık ve melez bir hareket olarak incelemektedir. Sırp Aydınlanması, Batılı modellerin basit bir taklidi değil; Osmanlı, Habsburg ve Rus imparatorlukları arasında sıkışmış, egemen olmayan bir Ortodoks toplum olmanın getirdiği zorluklara kültürel olarak müzakere edilmiş bir yanıttır. Çalışma, Aydınlanma fikirlerinin yerel ihtiyaçlara uyarlanmasının başlıca yolunun, bilim ve eğitimi konuşma dili olan Sırpçayla ifade etmek anlamına gelen 'halk diline geçiş' (vernacularization) olduğunu savunmaktadır. Bu dilsel dönüşüm, bilimsel bir dönüm noktasını temsil eder: dua merkezli öğrenmeden gözlem, ölçüm ve toplumsal fayda temelli ampirik ve faydacı bilgiye doğru bir geçiş. Dositej Obradović, Teodor Janković-Mirijevski ve Vuk Karadžić gibi figürlerin yakından incelenmesi yoluyla, tez; dil, entelektüel ağlar ve pedagojideki değişimleri imparatorluk ve kültürel sınırlar boyunca izlemek için ulusötesi ve iç içe geçmiş bir tarih yaklaşımını benimsemektedir. Ortodoks kurumların Aydınlanma fikirlerini nasıl yaydığı, devlet destekli okulların bu fikirleri nasıl dönüştürdüğü ve edebiyat ile halk kültürünün onları halka nasıl ulaştırdığı ortaya konulmaktadır. Islahatçılar Ortodoksluğu reddetmemiş; aklı Hristiyan hümanizmiyle birleştirerek Aydınlanma değerleriyle uyumlu bir 'rasyonel dindarlık' oluşturmuşlardır. Tez, imparatorluk kısıtlamaları, kültürel yenilik ve halk dilinin seferber edilmesi arasındaki ilişkileri yeniden düşünerek, Sırp Aydınlanmasını daha geniş Avrupa ve Balkan entelektüel akımları içinde yeniden konumlandırmakta ve 'çevresel' Aydınlanmaların dışlandığı anlatılara meydan okumaktadır
