To determine being correlation between environmental variables and ostracoda?s species, also to evaluate the data, physico chemical factors of stations, such as pH, Salinity (?), Disolved Oxygen (mg.l-1), Oxygen Saturation (%), Electrical Conductivity (?S.cm-1) and Water Temperature (oC) were measured during the sampling.At the result of this study 37 species of non-marine ostracoda (Candona neglecta, Fabaeformiscandona fabaeformis, Pseudocandona eremita, P. albicans, Cypria ophthalmica, Ilyocypris gibba, I. monstrifica, I. bradyi, I. inermis, Cypris pubera, Eucypris virens, E. kerkyrensis, E. lilljeborgi, Koencypris ornata, Prionocypris zenkeri, Trajancypris serrata, T. clavata, Bradleystrandesia reticulata, Herpetocypris chevreuxi, H. helenae, H. intermedia, Psychrodromus olivaceus, P. fontinalis, Stenocypria fischeri, Stenocypris sp., Heterocypris incongruens, H. rotundata, H. barbara, H. salina, Hemicypris sp., Isocypris beauchampi, Cypridopsis vidua, C. elongata, Potamocypris variegate, P. unicaudata, P. smaragdina, P. villosa) were found from 47 stations. Of these, three species E. kerkyrensis, C. elongata ve B. reticulata, were the newly recorded for the freshwater ostracod fauna of Turkey. Meanwhile, genus Hemicypris belonging to the superfamily Cypridoidae was added to the non-marine ostracoda of Turkey. In the current study, bisexual populations of T. serrata, P. olivaceus and I. inermis were also recorded for the second time from Anatolia

Hemicypris vulgaris is reported for the first time from Turkey. The finding of Bradleystrandesia parva is especially important as its original description is brief and inadequate. This paper provides details of redetection of the three species and comments on their variability and possible cryptic speciation.Hemicypris vulgaris Okubo, 1990, Stenocypris bolieki Ferguson, 1962 and Bradleystrandesia parva (Hartmann, 1964) are reported from a tributary of the Gönen River (Balıkesir) in Turkey.

Early Detecting of Infectious Disease Outbreaks: AI Potentials for Public Health Systems
No full textThe world is increasingly connected through technology, bringing people closer despite vast distances. However, this has led to urbanization, population growth, and a complex global economy. Climate change is also a consequence of our consumerist lifestyle. These changes have also increased the risk of global outbreaks and pandemics (Haileamlak, 2022). Fortunately, technological advancements offer tools such as digital surveillance, data analytics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help manage such crises. AI models excel at analysing large amounts of data quickly, revealing complex trends and patterns beyond human capability (Aleixo et al., 2022; Sylvestre et al., 2022). The objective of this presentation is to introduce a comprehensive framework integrating AI with the public health system to harness its strong analytical capabilities and support the early detection of infectious diseases. The proposed framework involves data collection from various sources, cloud-based or centralized repository data storing and pre-processing, AI model development, and data analysis, resulting in an effective early warning system to inform public health authorities promptly. Integrating AI into the public health system enhances response efforts and swift tackling of challenges for better health outcomes. However, effectively harnessing AI's potential and integrating it into existing systems presents significant challenges, requiring the retention of technical expertise and a comprehensive understanding of AI functionalities among healthcare professionals. Addressing these obstacles is vital for enhancing public health resilience and effectively responding to future outbreaks, as demonstrated during the recent use of AI in the COVID-19 response
Contribution to the Freshwater Ostracoda (Crustacea) Fauna of Turkey: Distribution and Ecological Notes
No full textIn this study, a total of 37 freshwater ostracod species were collected from 47 stations between 31 August 2010 and 23 June 2011. Among them, three species (Eucypris kerkyrensis, Cypridopsis elongata, Bradleystrandesia parva) were new records for the Ostracoda fauna of Turkey. Bisexual populations of three species (Ilyocypris inermis, Trajancypris serrata and Psychrodromus olivaceus) were repeatedly occurred from Anatolia. Spearman Rank Correlation analyses illustrated a significant correlation for the four most abundant species (Condona neglecta, Heterocypris salina, Eucypris lilljeborgi and Potamocypris villosa) with electrical conductivity while temperature did not show a significant effect on species occurrence. Five species (Pseudocandona albicans, Ilyocypris gibba, Heterocypris incongruens, Heterocypris rotundata and Eucypris virens) did not have any significant correlation to those variables used here, but correlation was significant between Potamocypris villosa and three variables (pH, electrical conductivity and salinity). According to Environmental Tolerance Index (ETI), most species with high ETI values were widespread species. Such species with high tolerance and widespread (or cosmopolitan) distribution were named as "cosmoecious species"Scientific Research Project (BAP) of Faculty of Fisheries of Ege UniversityEge University [2010.SUF.002]A part of the work contains samples provided by the Scientific Research Project (BAP) of Faculty of Fisheries of Ege University (2010.SUF.002).

Peptide conjugated chemotherapeutics for breast cancer treatment
No full textThe treatment of cancer disorders often implies the use of chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Unfortunately, high toxicity, low selectivity, and a wide range of undesired side-effects are associated with them. Hence, there is an urgent need to achieve an innovative treatment that can improve the efficacy of current therapeutic agents. Immunotherapy, where the patient’s immune system is exploited to eliminate tumor cells, has become one of the most prominent cancer treatment approaches in the last decade. Cancer immunotherapy can stimulate and/or promote the immune system in the body to indirectly attack and kill tumor cells, with the goal of improving anti-tumor immunity while reducing off-target effects. However, establishing versatile strategies with high biosafety and the capability for efficient modulation of immune responses remains challenging. Peptide-based materials hold great promise as immunomodulatory agents for the treatment of cancer. This study is aimed to synthesize a library of immunomodulatory peptides conjugated chemotherapeutics and to evaluate their anticancer efficacies
