The Hemithea Cult Belief in the Hellenistic Period Karia Chersonesos and Its Contributions to Regional Culture – An Archaeological Evaluation in Light of New Findings

Located within the territory of Bybassos (Marmaris - Hisarönü), the Sanctuary of Hemithea at Kastabos (Κάσταβος) occupies a strategic natural ridge on Eren Mountain at an altitude of 275 meters. During the Late Classical and Early Hellenistic period, this sanctuary played a pivot...

Turkish Teachers’ Views on the Educational Model of the Türkiye Century

The aim of this study is to examine Turkish language teachers’ views on the Türkiye Century Education Model. The study was conducted within the framework of a qualitative research approach using a phenomenological design. The study group consisted of 17 Turkish language teachers...

Exogenous ATP Attenuates Biochemical and Histological Markers of Osimertinib-Associated Myocardial Injury in Rats

(1) Background: Osimertinib is an effective third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor, but its clinical use may be limited by cardiotoxicity. This study investigated the relationship between reduced measured cardiac ATP levels and osimertinib-associated cardiac injury and e...

Sodium Hydrosulfide Attenuates Vancomycin-Related Liver Damage in Rats: Roles of Redox Balance, Inflammation, and Cell Death

Vancomycin (VAN), a glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat severe Gram-positive infections, may cause hepatotoxicity at high systemic exposure, limiting its clinical use. Sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS), a water-soluble hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) donor, possesses antioxidant, anti-inflamma...

Evaluation of stress distribution patterns of titanium, zirconia, and CFR-PEEK implants in mandibular all-on-four rehabilitation: a three-dimensional finite element analysis

In mandibular All-on-Four rehabilitation, posterior implant angulation is often dictated by anatomical constraints, while the mechanical properties of the implant–abutment system may influence load transfer to peri-implant bone and prosthetic components. This study aimed to evalu...

Protective effects of flunarizine and ATP against pembrolizumab-associated gastric injury in rats

Abstract Pembrolizumab, an immune checkpoint inhibitor targeting pro-grammed cell death protein-1 (PD-1), is widely used in cancer therapy. However, its potential gastrotoxic effects and underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Flunarizine has antioxidant, calciu...

SOX17 and TRPS1 in Müllerian, Breast, and Mesothelial Tumors: Tissue-Based Specificity Profiles and Diagnostic Pitfalls in Malignant Serous Effusions

Background Malignant serous effusions may be the first manifestation of an underlying malignancy, and accurate primary-site attribution is essential. However, distinguishing Müllerian carcinoma, breast carcinoma, and mesothelioma in effusion cytology remains a challenge because o...

Enforcement Approaches to Personalised Pricing: The Role of Article 9 of Regulation 1/2003

Personalised pricing has shifted from theory to scaled practice in digital markets, blurring the traditional divide between third-degree and first-degree discrimination through profiling, experimentation, interface design, and artificial intelligence. While it can expand output a...

Organizational ostracism and quiet quitting in healthcare a mediated moderated model of deviance and anxiety

Organizational ostracism experienced by healthcare workers in the workplace can reduce their motivation and productivity, potentially leading to undesirable behaviors such as quiet quitting. In this context, the roles of organizational deviance behaviors and anxiety levels among...
