This randomized controlled trial aimed to investigate the effects of a 12-week Zumba fitness program combined with halotherapy on body composition, respiratory function, and cardiorespiratory fitness in sedentary older adults, compared with Zumba training alone. Twenty sedentary...

From Hope to Subjective Well-Being: Examining the Career Construction Model of Adaptation Among Turkish Adolescents

Adolescence is a crucial period for individuals to make decisions that will impact their future. In this sense, the Career Construction Model of Adaptation (CCMA) can shed light on a better understanding of career development during adolescence by providing a framework for how po...

Spectral Characteristics of Impulsive Schrödinger Equations With Boundary Spectral Parameter

ABSTRACT In this paper, we investigate the spectral properties of an impulsive Schrödinger equation under an impulsive condition. First, we find the Jost solution and some special solutions of the problem. Using these solutions, we give the resolvent operator of the impulsive pro...

AI-Assisted Volumetric Comparison of Parenchyma-Sparing Effect in Robotic Segmentectomy vs Lobectomy.

Background and Objective: In recent years, pulmonary segmentectomy has become a preferred treatment option for early-stage lung cancer. The primary factor encouraging clinicians to choose segmentectomy is the assumption of greater parenchymal preservation. In this study, we inves...

Narrowband Internet of Things over Non-Terrestrial Networks for Remote Renewable-Energy Management: Architecture and Performance Evaluation

Reliable communication is essential for monitoring and supervisory operation of renewable-energy facilities beyond terrestrial-network coverage. This study proposes a four-layer Internet of Things (IoT) architecture aligned with 3GPP Release 17, integrating sensors, an edge gatew...

In vitro inhibition effect of sulphonylhydrazones against Malassezia furfur

Purpose: In this study, the in-vitro antifungal activity of previously synthesized compounds, including methanesulfonic acid hydrazide (I) and its derivatives 3.5-ditertbutylsalicylaldehyde methanesulfonylhydrazone (II), 3-tertbutylsalicylaldehyde methanesulfonylhydrazone (III),...

In Situ Series Resistance Estimation of an Off-Grid PV String by Charge-Controller Actuation: A Feasibility Case Study Within a Digital Twin Framework

Series resistance (Rs) is one of the most informative single parameters for the state of health of a photovoltaic (PV) string. Determining it without a curve tracer or interrupting production remains difficult, because maximum power point (MPP) tracking (MPPT) confines operation...

Comparative Remineralization Efficacy of Different Physical Forms of Chitosan in a Newly Developed Olive Leaf Extract-Containing Artificial Saliva

Plant-derived bioactive compounds and natural biopolymers are increasingly investigated as components of multifunctional remineralization systems. This in vitro study compared the remineralization efficacy of chitosan film, gel, and solution on bleached human enamel within an oli...

A Homozygous ALCAM–CBLB Deletion at 3q13.11‐q13.12 Defines a Candidate Novel Oculo‐Skeletal‐Immune Contiguous Gene Deletion Syndrome

ABSTRACT To our knowledge, we report the first combined homozygous deletion of ALCAM and CBLB at 3q13.11‐q13.12. The patient, a 14‐year‐old boy born to consanguineous parents, had a multisystem phenotype with severe congenital ocular and craniofacial anomalies, early‐onset osteop...

Pan-immune-inflammation Value as a Potential Inflammatory Marker in Autism Spectrum Disorder

Objective: Neuroinflammation and immune dysregulation are implicated in the etiology of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).This study investigated the relationship between inflammatory markers-pan-immune-inflammation value (PIV), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-t...

Bond characteristics of GFRP and BFRP bars embedded in Self-Compacting Concrete with different substitutes

This study investigates the bond behavior of GFRP, BFRP, and steel bars in Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with and without cement replacements. Three specific SCC mixtures were developed: a control batch using only Portland Cement (PC), one utilizing Fly Ash (FA) as a partial PC...
