Editorial Preface(Birkhauser, 2019) Inam, I.; Büyükaşık, E.Article Citation - Scopus: 1A Cinematic Narration of Urban Segregation Through Migration in Turkey: an Analysis of the Film Block-C Directed by Zeki Demirkubuz(Intellect Ltd., 2025) Aydin, M.F.; Erdoğdu Erkarslan, Özlem; Erkarslan, Ö.; Erkarslan, ÖnderMetropolitan life is always one of the major concerns of modernity as well as the set for the cinematic art. The critical gaze of cinema throws a light on how cities provide various social and architectural contexts for diversified groups as an indispensable part of the scenario. This study delves into the portrayal of metropolitan life in Zeki Demirkubuz’s 1994 film C Blok (Block-C) through the intertwined concepts of spatial alienation, urban segregation and urban migration. Situated within the context of 1990s Istanbul, the film serves as a microcosm for exploring the social and architectural landscape of Turkish modernity. It scrutinizes the interactions between diverse social classes residing in a suburban apartment complex, offering critical insights into how western-style modernization has shaped urban spaces and individual experiences. In this context, the theoretical foundation of this research encompasses the advent of western-style modernization in Turkey, its permeation into societal realms, and the concept of spatial alienation at the social stratum. Moreover, adopting a critical thinking perspective, this study probes the notions of home and house, elucidating their implications for individuality within the framework of spatial alienation. © 2025 Intellect Ltd.Conference Object Pen Holder Design for a Handwriting Education Assistance Robot(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2025) Güler, O.; Özdemir, Ekrem; Özdemir, E.; Dede, Mehmet İsmet Can; Balkan, M.A.; Öztürk, Ç.; Dede, M.İ.C.The aim of this work is to contribute to quality education by developing a robot system that can assist in handwriting education. The effects of educational robots on learning motivation and performance enhancement have been proven by various studies. In this context, the handwriting assistive robot aims to ease the work of teachers by enabling students to learn how to write more easily and to provide a platform where students can learn on their own. This robot can contribute to the spread of quality education by supporting equal educational opportunities, especially in disadvantaged areas and in cases where the number of teachers is insufficient. The robot supports three different operation modes: Active Mode, Assistive Mode, and Passive Mode. In this study, the pen holder design of this robot is presented. The final design is suitable for both right- and left-handed users, does not require an additional sensor, and the writing ergonomics is increased by keeping the contact point of the pen with the paper at a constant point independent of the holding style. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 1FBG-Based Temperature and Fire Sensors for Use in Industrial Microwave Ovens(SPIE, 2025) Yuksel, K.; Merdin, O.

This study uniquely evaluates the cytotoxic potential of four synthesized isoindoline derivatives against five different cancer cell lines. Methods: Cancer cell lines were treated with varying concentrations of each derivative and incubated for 24, 48, and 72 h. Cytotoxicity was assessed via cell growth inhibition assays and cell membrane damage tests. Additionally, molecular docking studies were conducted to examine the interaction of the compounds with key cancer-related proteins: human tankyrase 1, c-MET, estrogen receptor alpha, androgen receptor, and EGFR. Results and Discussion: The epoxy alcohol derivatives demonstrated a dose-dependent cytotoxic effect, inhibited cell proliferation, and induced membrane damage in adenocarcinoma cell lines. Apoptosis rates and in vitro wound healing assays further supported their antiproliferative potential. Conclusions: These findings suggest that epoxy isoindole derivatives may serve as promising anticancer agents for the treatment of cervical, lung, prostate, and breast cancers due to their cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities. Molecular docking results corroborated their potential mechanism of action.Article Understanding the Synthesis Mechanism of Arginine Functionalized Silver/Silver Chloride Nanoparticles Using Sugar Ligands(Elsevier, 2025) Bolat, Suheda; Degirmenci, Suna; Gumus, Abdurrahman; Sancak, Zafer; Yazgan, DrisIn this study, we performed a mechanistic study to understand how the sugar ligand chemistry affected the morphology, size and surface chemistry of Ag/AgCl_NPs synthesized in the presence of L-Arginine hydrochloride and L-Arginine/KCl mixture. The sugar ligands Lactose p-methoxyaniline (LMA) and Galactose 5-aminosalicylic acid (G5AS) resulted in formation of sheet-like Ag/AgCl_NPs while Lactose sulfanilic acid (LSA) and Lactose psulfonyldianiline (LPSA) caused the formation of anisotropic and film-like Ag/AgCl_NPs. The UV-Vis based mechanistic studies showed that the presence of Arginine posed a strong effect on how G5AS and LMA ligands interact with silver ions while the effect was more complicated for the LSA and LPSA ligands due to the fact that they form complexation with Ag+ ions. The mechanism was further investigated using infrared (IR) studies that showed the increases in Argine and chloride ion concentrations resulted in differentiation of the surface chemistry of the Ag/AgCl_NPs, and appearance of Arginine related IR bands became clearer in the case of cointroduction of Arginine and the sugar ligands. The characterized nanoparticles were then used as antibacterial agent for multidrug resistant Escherichia coli species for which less than 10 mu M minimum inhibitory concentrations were obtained. The promising antibacterial activity, which could be assigned to the presence of Arginine, was independent from the sugar ligand chemistry and nanoparticles' morphology and size. Particularly, large Ag/AgCl_NP film forming capacity can call further research to be exploited as coating materials for antibacterial application.Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 6Hydrocolloids for Tissue Engineering and 3d Bioprinting(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2024) Yildirim-Semerci, Ozum; Onbas, Rabia; Bilginer-Kartal, Rumeysa; Arslan-Yildiz, AhuHydrocolloids, derived from plants, marine, and microbial sources, have become research favorites due to their unique properties.

In this study, poly(ethylene glycol)-keratin (PEG-KRTN) hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties were prepared by varying molar mass of the maleimide functionalized PEG in the thiol-maleimide chemistry. Reduced keratins were reacted with PEG-maleimides having 2000 Da and 6000 Da molar masses. Viscoelastic and physiochemical properties and cytocompatibility of these hydrogels were tested. Storage modulus values were obtained as 2613 +/- 254 Pa and 1313 +/- 345 Pa for PEG2000-KRTN and PEG6000-KRTN hydrogels, respectively. Strain sweep data indicate that the linear viscoelastic region (LVER) of the PEG6000-KRTN hydrogel spans up to 40% strain value, whereas it is limited to 10% critical strain for the PEG2000-KRTN hydrogel. PEG6000-KRTN hydrogel presented higher swelling ratios and porosity. CCK-8 test showed that both hydrogels promoted the proliferation of L929 mouse fibroblast cells and, hence, can be applied in soft tissue engineering.Article Investigation of the Effect of Solar Energy Use in Buildings on Reducing Carbon Dioxide Emissions(Inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2025) Hancioglu, EbruThe aim of this study was to examine the reduction in CO2 emissions by using solar modules.

However, many small and medium-sized companies cannot perform objective SSM and Software Effort Estimation (SEE) due to the lack of resources and an expert workforce. This results in inadequate estimates and projects exceeding the planned time and budget. Therefore, organizations need to perform objective SSM and SEE using minimal resources without an expert workforce. In this research, we conducted an exploratory case study to predict the functional size of software project requirements using state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs). For this aim, we fine-tuned BERT and BERT_SE with a set of user stories and their respective functional size in COSMIC Function Points (CFP). We gathered the user stories included in different project requirement documents. In total size prediction, we achieved 72.8% accuracy with BERT and 74.4% accuracy with BERT_SE. In data movement-based size prediction, we achieved 87.5% average accuracy with BERT and 88.1% average accuracy with BERT_SE. Although we use relatively small datasets in model training, these results are promising and hold significant value as they demonstrate the practical utility of language models in SSM.
