Identities Arising from a Certain Family of Special Combinatorial Numbers and Polynomials

The results obtained in this paper extend several identities and interpolation formulas previously established for the numbers y9,n(λ;a) to the higher-order case. We derive several explicit formulas, identities, and recurrence-type relations, and establish connections with well-k...

Genomic Diversity and Footprints of Selection in Hamdani Sheep

This study aimed to characterize the genomic diversity, population structure, and candidate regions consistent with selection in Hamdani (HAM) sheep using high-density SNP generated by double-digest restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (ddRADseq). A total of 20 animals were...

Hope and Life Satisfaction Among University Students: The Mediating Role of Psychological Resilience

This study examined the indirect role of psychological resilience in the association between hope and life satisfaction among university students. University years involve substantial academic, social, and psychological change; therefore, identifying resources that support well-b...

Experimental investigation of the effect of nanoparticle size on the Thermophysical properties and heat transfer performance of sol–gel synthesized MgO/water Nanofluids for heat exchanger applications

This study experimentally investigates the effect of nanoparticle size and its associated surface properties on the heat transfer performance and thermophysical properties of water-based magnesium oxide (MgO) nanofluids synthesized via the sol–gel method. High-purity MgO nanopart...

Acute kidney injury during ruxolitinib therapy in pediatric patients with graft-versus-host disease: incidence, associated factors, and histopathological findings in a retrospective cohort study

Ruxolitinib is a cornerstone treatment for steroid-refractory graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in children, yet longitudinal data on kidney function during such therapy remain limited. We retrospectively analyzed...

Development of an Interpretable QSAR Model for Predicting Coagulation Factor XIIa Inhibitors Using Ensemble Machine Learning

Background/Objective: Activated coagulation factor XII (FXIIa) is a component of the contact activation pathway and a pharmacologically relevant target in contact-system-associated processes. In this study, scaffold-aware and interpretable machine-learning QSAR models were develo...

A hidden coronary cause of cardiogenic shock after exercise in a child: a case report

Malignant left main coronary artery (LMCA) anomalies are rare but potentially fatal congenital defects that may cause myocardial ischemia or sudden cardiac death during exertion, even in otherwise healthy children. Early recognition and timely intervention are crucial to prevent...

Sentiment and Thematic Analysis of Social Media Discourse for Child Trafficking Crimes: Epstein Case Example

The study aimed to examine the sentiment and thematic structure of social discourse on child trafficking through the Jeffrey Epstein case on the X platform. The research method involved 50,000 tweets with the highest engagement posted about Jeffrey Epstein investigation on the X...

Effects of mesh size on catch efficiency and catch composition of multifilament trammel nets in Beymelek Lagoon (Antalya, Türkiye)

Mesh size strongly influences catch efficiency and catch composition in trammel-net fisheries. This study evaluated the effects of four different inner panel mesh sizes (18, 22, 26, and 30 mm) on catch efficiency, catch composition, and discard proportions of multifilament tramme...

Disaster preparedness belief in older adults: a cross-sectional psychometric evaluation of the general disaster preparedness belief scale, its refinement needs, and sociodemographic correlates

Older adults are among the groups most vulnerable to disasters, yet the General Disaster Preparedness Belief (GDPB) scale has not been psychometrically evaluated in this group. We evaluated the construct validity, reliability, and sex-based measurement invariance of the 31-item G...

Prognostic value of the preoperative HALP score for 30-day and 1-year mortality in older adults undergoing hemiarthroplasty for intracapsular hip fracture: a retrospective cohort study

Hip fracture mortality in older adults reflects biological reserve as well as the acute injury. The hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score integrates anemia, nutritional status, immune competence, and systemic inflammatory burden. We evaluated whether preopera...

Hybrid AI Model for Early Detection of Structural Irregularities in Earthquake-Resistant Architectural Design

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into early-stage architectural design remains limited, particularly in detecting seismic structural irregularities before structural engineering analysis. This study proposes a hybrid AI-driven framework for the early detection of s...

Commodity Price Forecasting and Risk Dynamics Across Major Commodity Sectors: Evidence from Linear and Tree-Based Machine Learning Models

This paper intends to predict the prices of commodities in metals, energy, agriculture, and other industrial products sectors. This study covers a large span of about ten and a half years with 3484 daily observations starting from 7 April 2016 to 7 April 2026. The commodities tak...

Glottic view, tube-advancement techniques, and airway events during videolaryngoscopic nasotracheal intubation in adults with special healthcare needs: a prospective observational study

Airway management in adults with special healthcare needs undergoing dental treatment under general anesthesia may be challenging because of limited cooperation, heterogeneous diagnoses, and difficulties in awake airway assessment. The Percentage of Glottic Opening (POGO) score q...

The Effect of Placental Mesenchymal Stem Cells on The Protection of Chronic Renal Failure: The Role of Adiponectin

Abstract Purpose Chronic glomerular and tubulointerstitial fibrosis is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Mesenchymal stem cell therapy shows great potential for kidney tissue regeneration. The use of measurable biomarkers is crucial for assessing the therapeutic effec...

Digital Reactions, Discourse and Sentiment on Educational Reform: A Text Mining Study of the Türkiye Century Maarif Model on X

The Türkiye Century Maarif Model, introduced by the Ministry of National Education in 2024, represents a major curriculum reform. Although previous research has examined teachers, administrators, and teacher candidates mainly through surveys and interviews, spontaneous digital re...

Healthcare financing and healthy longevity in OECD countries

Abstract This study examines the relationship between health expenditure and healthy life expectancy (HALE) across OECD countries over the period 2000–2021, a timeframe that includes major structural reforms, global economic shocks, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Unlike conventional...

Audience Engagement or Production Scale? Determinants of Film Return on Investment in the Motion Picture Industry

The film industry presents one of the most capital-intensive and financially uncertain environments within cultural markets. While prior research has predominantly measured success through box office revenue, return on investment (ROI) offers a more meaningful lens for producers...
