Strongmen and warmaking

This essay asks whether warmaking can discipline the contemporary strongman regimes, as Tilly's account of European state formation might suggest it once did absolutism. To probe this question, it briefly revisits two non-European cases: New Kingdom Ancient Egypt and Warring Stat...

Preservice science teachers’ systems thinking skills, conceptual understanding, and system-level misconceptions: the water cycle system*

This study explored the systems thinking skills (STS) and conceptual understanding of preservice science teachers (PSTs) related to the water cycle system. Research was designed as descriptive and correlational study with the use of two instruments -the Water Cycle Concept Map (W...

Post-fire performance of thin-plated stiffened T-stubs after controlled heating and natural cooling

This study experimentally investigates the post-fire residual behavior of thin-plated, stiffened T-stub connections subjected to controlled uniform heating up to 1200 °C, followed by gradual natural cooling to ambient temperature. The influence of temperature, bolt diameter, and...

Cross-Border Concordat Law in Türkiye: A Comparative Study of the Extraterritorial Effects of Concordat Approval Decisions

This article examines the legal implications and transnational recognition of concordat confirmation decisions granted in Türkiye, particularly in the context of international insolvency and restructuring law. The concordat mechanism, designed to enable debtors facing insolvency...

Cognitive Performance Under AI Advice: Development and Initial Validation of a CHC-Informed Assessment for Organizational Decision-Making

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in organizational decision-making, requiring employees not only to use AI-generated recommendations but also to evaluate their quality and determine when reliance is appropriate. Although established research examines behavior...

Bitlis Front and Mustafa Kemal Pasha's Commandership of 16th Army Corps during the First World War

Following the defeat at Sarıkamış on the Eastern Front during the First World War, the front was virtually left to its fate. The fall of Erzurum to Russian forces on 18 February 1916, and the subsequent expansion of operations toward Iraq and the Mediterranean, finally alerted th...

Molecular evaluation of organophosphate and carbamate resistance in Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) populations from Türkiye

Chemical control has long been an effective strategy against Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae); however, insecticide resistance increasingly complicates field management. Although the use of many organophosphate (OP) insecticides has been restricted in Tür...

A physics-informed neural network surrogate for multi-band reflection-loss prediction of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer / Ti-6Al-4V ELI radar absorbing materials for UAV airframe integration

Abstract Radar absorbing materials (RAM) are critical for stealth performance of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but their design typically requires expensive parametric sweeps over frequency, incidence angle, and material thickness. This work presents a physics-informed neural...

Inorganic hole-transport layer engineering for high-efficiency Mg2Mn3O8 solar cells: a multiphysics simulation study

Abstract We carry out a comprehensive numerical investigation to evaluate the influence of various hole transport layers (HTLs) on the performance of FTO/TiO 2 /Mg 2 Mn 3 O 8 /HTL/Ag solar cells. Five HTLs, PEDOT:PSS, P3HT, Spiro-OMeTAD, Cu 2 O, and MoO 3 , were examined through...

Numerical study of MRW-type unintegrated double parton distribution functions from non-factorized DPDFs

Abstract Double parton scattering provides a sensitive probe of multiparton correlations inside hadrons. In this work we present a numerical study of unintegrated double parton distribution functions constructed from non-factorized collinear DPDFs. As input we use the DPDFs and e...

Methodological Analysis of Color Research in the Built Environment

Color in the built environment is a fundamental environmental variable that directly shapes human psychology, physiology, and spatial perception processes. Based on an original quantitative matrix compiled from 54 empirical articles published between 1990 and 2025, this study ana...

In Situ Effects of 4,6-α- and 4,3-α-Glucanotransferases During Sourdough Fermentation: Assessing Microbial Community Dynamics, Bread Glycemic Index, Staling, and Texture

Although some lactic acid bacteria species harbor genes encoding α-glucanotransferases (4,6-α-GTase and 4,3-α-GTase), the technological and functional implications of these enzymes within sourdough ecosystems remain poorly understood. This study investigated the effects associate...
