Video-Based Comparative Modelling of Bus Dwell Time Using Parametric and Machine Learning Methods

This study models bus dwell time and compares different modelling techniques to identify key operational and passenger-related factors affecting it. Using manually collected stop-level data from İzmir, Türkiye, the analysis examined four main explanatory factors, namely, total bo...

Effects of Grain Source and Emulsifier Supplementation of Reduced-Energy Diets on Performance, Slaughter Traits, Tibia Characteristics, Jejunal Histomorphology and Pancreatic Enzymes in Broilers

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of emulsifier addition to reduced-energy maize-, barley- or wheat-based diets on selected indicators in broilers. In this experiment, a total of 540 unsexed (mixed-sex) one-day-old Ross 308 chicks were allocated to six treatmen...

Urinary liver‐type fatty acid‐binding protein in cats with lower urinary tract disease

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein levels in both obstructive and non-obstructive feline lower urinary tract disease. In addition, urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein levels were investigated in cats experienc...

Relative CT Number as a Quantitative Imaging Biomarker for Differentiating Sinonasal Polyp, Inverted Papilloma, and Squamous Cell Carcinoma: A Preliminary Retrospective Study

Background/Objectives: Unilateral sinonasal lesions may be difficult to characterize on non-contrast computed tomography (CT) because inflammatory polyps, benign neoplasms, and malignant tumors can appear as similar unilateral soft-tissue masses. Non-contrast CT is widely availab...

The Effects of Self-Regulated Mathematics Instruction with Integrated Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategies on High School Students’ Self-Regulation Skills, Attitudes Toward Mathematics, and Motivation in Mathematics

(1) Background: In this study, the effect of the Structured Mathematics Teaching Plan Integrating Cognitive and Metacognitive Strategies Based on Self-Regulated Learning (MLP-SRL) on 11th-grade students’ self-regulation skills, attitudes toward mathematics, and motivation in math...

Organ-Specific Clinical Patterns of Pediatric Cystic Echinococcosis: A Multicenter Cohort from an Endemic Region

Pediatric cystic echinococcosis (CE) remains insufficiently characterized, particularly regarding organ-specific presentation and outcomes. This multicenter retrospective cohort included children aged 0–18 years with a definitive diagnosis of CE between 2013 and 2023 at six terti...

Explainable Cross-Dataset Violence Detection for Public Safety Using a Two-Stream I3D Network

Camera networks now cover almost every public space, but the footage they generate has long outpaced what any human team can watch in real time. That gap is exactly where automated violence detection earns its place. The hard part is ambiguity—a hug or a bit of play-fighting can...

Determination of high temperature stress level in Sarılop fig (Ficus carica L.)

Figs are an important agricultural commodity in Türkiye and are expected to experience substantial changes in both yield and quality under climate change. These changes are driven by climate-related stressors that increasingly constrain fig cultivation and are expected to affect...

Association between trabecular microarchitecture and impaction pattern in unilateral maxillary canines: CBCT-based fractal analysis

Alveolar bone characteristics have been suggested as potential contributors to maxillary canine impaction; however, the relationship between trabecular bone microarchitecture and impaction pattern remains unclear. This study aimed to compare alveolar trabecular microarchitecture...

Life quality and depression in mothers of children with spina bifida: A cross-sectional study

Spina Bifida (SB) frequently manifests with neurological, orthopedic, and urological complications in children, which severely restrict the activities of daily living (ADL) for both the affected children and their families. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate how specifi...

Morphological Evidence for a Nail-Like Structure on the Wing Digit of the White Stork (Ciconia ciconia)

Keratinized nail structures are typically restricted to the pedal digits of adult birds. During the anatomical examination of an adult white stork (Ciconia ciconia), a keratinized nail-like structure was identified at the distal end of the third manual digit. Gross morphological...

Effects of Dietary Organic Acid Supplementation in Coccidiosis-Challenged Broilers: A Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to systematically assess the effects of organic acid supplementation on growth performance and disease-related parameters in broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted across Pub...

Predictability Is Not Profitability: An Explainable, Cost-Sensitive Evaluation of Customer Churn Across Three Sectors

Churn prediction research is largely accuracy-oriented, and the link between prediction and financial decision-making remains underdeveloped. This study builds and tests the chain from prediction to profit as follows: calibrated prediction, SHAP-based explanation, a profit-maximi...

Effect of Virtual Reality-Assisted Discharge Education on Readiness for Hospital Discharge Following Transurethral Resection of the Prostate for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Background: Effective discharge education is essential for promoting postoperative recovery following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP); however, conventional discharge education may be insufficient to adequately prepare patients for self-care after discharge. Virtua...
