Scopus A Climate-Sensitive Approach for Determining the Urban Growth Boundaries: Towards a Spatial Exploration for Bursa, Türkiye(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2023) Isinkaralar O.Population growth is inevitable in urban areas responsible for climate crises worldwide, and urban development is affected by processes fed by many dynamics. Predicting and planning the growth limits of the city effectively is a critical issue for achieving sustainable urban growth and managing climate risks. The study used the cellular automata-Markov chain method to define development areas regarding natural structure and land use/land cover. It aimed to present a method that can be applied to different urban areas by focusing on effective urban growth management with a climate-sensitive approach. It offered a climate-sensitive approach to determining growth limits according to scenarios. The boundaries of 2030 have been determined for the city of Bursa, which exhibited an increased average summer value of the land surface temperature from 24°C to 45°C between 2012 and 2021, stands out with its natural riches, and shows a rapid urban growth trend. The proposed method modeled the limits of urban growth with a climate-sensitive approach, and the model's suitability was demonstrated by Kappa statistics (Klocation = 0.8884). The determined urban boundary will reduce the rate of the urban built-up area from 86% to 70% by 2030. © 2023 American Society of Civil Engineers.Scopus A New Complication Reported for the First Time After Rhinoplasty: Demodicosis(2024) Öner, F.; Öner, Ü.Scopus Advanced NH3 Detection by 1D Nanostructured La:ZnO Sensors with Novel Intrinsic p-n Shifting and Ultrahigh Baseline Stability(American Chemical Society, 2024) Ajjaq, A.; Bulut, F.; Ozturk, O.; Acar, S.Due to its stability, transportability, and ability to be produced using renewable energy sources, NH3 has become an attractive option for hydrogen production and storage. Detecting NH3 is then essential, being a toxic and flammable gas that can pose dangers if not properly monitored. ZnO chemiresistive sensors have shown great potential in real NH3 monitoring applications; yet, research and development in this area are ongoing due to reported limitations, like baseline instabilities and sensitivity to environmental factors, including temperature, humidity, and interferent gases. Herein, we suggest an approach to obtain sensors with competitive performance based on ZnO semiconducting metal oxides. For this purpose, one-dimensional nanostructured pure and La-doped ZnO films were synthesized hydrothermally. Incorporating large rare earth ions, like La, into the bulk lattice of ZnO is challenging and can lead to surface defects that are influential in gas-sensing reactions. The sensors experienced a temperature-induced p-n shifting at about 100 °C, verified by the Hall effect and AC impedance measurements. The doped sensor showed exceptional stepwise baseline stability and outstanding performance at a relatively low operating temperature (150 °C) with a sensing response of 91 at best (@ 50 ppm NH3) and recorded a tolerance to water vapor up to 70% RH. Alongside p-n shifting, the enhanced performance was discussed in correlation with La doping-triggered changes in the nanostructural and surfacial properties of the films. We validated the proposed technique by producing similar sensors and performing multiple replicates to ensure consistency and reproducibility. We also introduced the fill factor concept into the gas sensor field as a new trustworthy parameter that could improve sensor performance assessment and help rate sensors based on deviation from ideality.Scopus Chestnut blight (Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr) disease incidence and its effect on the morphological and anatomical features of Castanea sativa trees(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2024) Keleş, S.Ö.; Ünal, S.; Akan, S.; Karadeniz, M.Sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) is an ecologically and economically valuable tree species worldwide. Various pathogens, both endemic or introduced, cause severe damage or death to chestnut trees. Chestnut blight, caused by the fungus Cryphonectria parasitica, is one of the most devastating plant diseases known which influences chestnut trees in all major cultivation regions. The work presented here aimed to investigate how the incidence of chestnut blight varied between trees growing at two altitudes (200–400 m vs. 400–600 m) and to determine the impact of chestnut blight on tree-ring width, morphology and anatomy of C. sativa trees. The incidence of C. parasitica infections was greater at 200–400 m than at 400–600 m. Greater stem diameters were found at 200–400 m than at 400–600 m. There were no differences in stem diameters and heights, however, between healthy and C. parasitica infected chestnut trees. The anatomical characteristics of wood were also compared between healthy and C. parasitica-infected chestnut trees. Fibre cell traits (length/width, lumen width, lumen area) were higher in healthy trees than in C. parasitica-diseased trees. Vessel diameters were greater in infected compared with healthy trees. Tree ring widths and wood anatomical characteristics therefore were significantly influenced by C. parasitica infections.Scopus Climate change in tourism: Understanding the impacts and opportunities for sustainability(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2024) Tanrisever, C.; Pamukçü, H.; Baydeniz, E.Climate change places significant pressure on the tourism sector by altering environmental and socio-economic conditions that influence tourist behaviour and the attractiveness of destinations. Rising temperatures, changing precip¬itation patterns and the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events affect tourism supply and demand. On the supply side, climate change threatens tourism infrastructure, natural attractions, recreational opportu¬nities and accessibility of destinations. Coastal destinations are particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise and coastal flooding, which can damage tourism assets. On the demand side, changing climatic conditions alter visitor comfort levels, health risks and the seasonality of destinations, influencing tourists' choice of destinations. In addition, small island destinations face unnecessary risks due to their economic dependence on climate-sensitive activities such as beach and nature tourism. Adapting the tourism sector to climate change requires reducing vulnerability through diversification, green infrastructure, ecosystem conservation, community-based adaptation and policy support. Mitigating tourism's contribution to climate change requires minimising energy use, switching to renewable energy, improving efficiency, reducing long-haul flights and promoting sustainable consumption and production. Collective and concerted efforts by all stakeholders are needed to transition to a climate-resilient and low-carbon tourism sector that continues to provide socio-economic benefits while minimising its environmental footprint.Scopus Ecotourism: For a sustainable future(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2024) Baydeniz, E.; Çilginoglu, H.; Sandikci, M.Ecotourism is a sustainability approach that has emerged as an alternative to the negative environmental impacts of tourism, where natural, cultural and historical values are used as sources. Ecotourism is a nature-based tourism activity that ensures the sustainability of natural resources and promotes the economic development of local populations. It also preserves sociocultural values and protects the ecological system for future generations. However, if ecotourism is well-controlled, it can positively affect nature, natural life, local people and the local and national economy. This study highlights the impor¬tance of ecotourism for sustainability in the tourism industry. It examines ways to deal with the ecotourism phenomenon. In this direction, the study defines the concepts of ecological tourism and sustainability. It describes the general characteristics of ecotourism and sustainable tourism and the developing and potential environmental impacts associated with them. The study highlights that any tourist activity that does not have a sustainable quality cannot be long-term and will increase awareness on this topic.Scopus Effects of using collagen and aloe vera grafted fibroin scaffolds on osteogenic differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in SBF-enriched cell culture medium(2023) Taher Mohamed, S.A.; Emin, N.In the study, collagen and aloe vera were grafted onto silk fibroin with two different methods, and 3D-microporous scaffolds (1F5C4A1 and 2F5C4A1) were formed by lyophilization. Three osteogenic cultures were started by seeding rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and pre-induced MSC (osteoblast (OB)) on biopolymeric scaffolds. The osteogenic medium was enriched with 10% (v/v) simulated body fluid (SBF) to promote mineralization and osteogenic differentiation in one of the MSC cultures and the OB culture. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning electron microscopy- energy dispersive spectrum (SEM-EDS) analyses on cellular samples and histochemical (alizarin red, safranin-O, alcian blue) and immunohistochemical (anti-collagen-1, anti-osteocalcin, anti-osteopontin) staining showed that bone-like mineralization was occurred by both chemically and cellular activity. In addition, pre-osteogenic induction of MSCs in 2D-cultured was found to promote osteogenesis more rapidly when started 3D-cultured. These results indicated that enrichment of the cell culture medium with SBF is sufficient forin vitromineralization rather than using high concentrations of SBF. The findings showed that OB cells on the 2F5C4A1 scaffold obtained the best osteogenic activity. Still, other culture media with 10% SBF content could be used for bone tissue engineering under osteogenic induction.Scopus Future tourism trends volume 1: Tourism in the changing world(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2024) Tanrisever, C.; Pamukçu, H.; Sharma, A.The world is entering the Third Millennium in which great changes are expected in all areas of human interest, life, and activity.

The changes in charge density have shown a more important charge transfer on the hexagonal honeycomb nanosheet of gallium nitride (GaN) which acts as the electron acceptor while gas molecules act as the stronger electron donors through adsorption on the graphitic-like GaN surface. The adsorption of NH3, NO2, and NO, respectively, on GaN nanosheet has more contribution with high expansion curves of hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen. The results extracted from PDOS curves after optimization show the electron transferring from nitrogen and oxygen of gas molecules (adsorbate/ donor) towards gallium in the active site of GaN surface (adsorbent/acceptor). GaN nanosheet represents enough capability for adsorbing gases of NH3, NO2, and NO through charge transfer from nitrogen and oxygen atoms to the gallium atom regarding the intra-atomic and interatomic interactions. Concerning the change of physicochemical properties of the PL-GaN sheet before and after molecule adsorption, the PL-GaN nanosheet can be applied as an appropriate selective gas sensor for NH3, NO2 and NO detection.Scopus Preface(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2024) Tanrisever, C.; Pamukçu, H.; Sharma, A.Scopus Preface(IGI Global, 2023-08-18) Demircioğlu A.Scopus Sustainable Use of Waste Tire Rubbers in Eco-Friendly and Lightweight Alkali-Activated Slag-Silica Fume Mortars(American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2024) Dheyaaldin, M.H.; Bayraktar, O.Y.; Öz, A.; Kaplan, G.This study examines the benefits of substituting waste tire aggregate (WTA) for pumice aggregate in alkali-activated slag mortars at replacement ratios of 0% to 60% (by volume). Additionally, silica fume (SF) was added to mortar mixes at a concentration of 10% by volume to improve their compressive and flexural strength, water absorption, water sorptivity, porosity, density, thermal conductivity, and microstructural properties. The influences of chemical sulfate attacks, exposed temperatures, and compressive strength were investigated. Test findings showed that using WTA severely decreased mechanical strength and durability. Conversely, a mixture with 60% WTA reacted at a lower strength and durability compared with different percentages of WTA for all the properties examined in this study. SF has led to significant enhancements in mechanical strength and durability, especially at an early age. On the eighth day of the specimen curing period, the compressive and flexural strength increased by 20%. Additionally, by raising the curing temperatures by 80°C enhances the polymerization process, the polymerization process is strengthened, boosting durability characteristics and improving mechanical strength and durability. When exposed to higher temperatures, the mechanical strength and durability reduced the specimens' strength and weight. Specimens exposed to sulfate attack solutions can reduce the mechanical strength by 1%-3% for a 120-day curing period in a chemical solution, even more reducing the weight of specimens and shapes after visual inspection.Scopus The contribution of values education to increasing disaster awareness of primary school students(IGI Global, 2023-08-18) Tastan B.Disasters cause great damage worldwide every year. A conscious and scientific strategy should be used to reduce the damage. Disaster management ensures the successful completion of the process. If people want to manage disasters properly, they must act diligently at every stage of disaster management. These tasks can be fulfilled by vigilant, responsible, and educated individuals. Disaster awareness can be increased with the support of education. Primary school is the most memorable period of education. In this period, disaster education is not included in the curriculum. Teaching values in the curriculum can play an important role in increasing disaster awareness in this period. This study shows how values education and disaster awareness are integrated in primary schools. In the first part of the study, disasters are mentioned. In the following sections, the contribution of disaster education and values education to disaster awareness is discussed.Scopus The effect of tourist guide performance on memorable tourism experiences and revisit intention(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd., 2024) Koç, D.E.; Ulema, Ş.Tourist guides undertake many versatile roles as a requirement of their profession. The realisation of these roles also affects the performance of the guide. Findings obtained from empirical evidence on the effects of the tour guide's performance on memorable tourism experiences and the intention to revisit the Cappadocia region shed light on the importance of these elements on each other. Accordingly, the primary purposes of this research are to measure the effect of tourist guides' performance on memorable tourism experiences and the impact of memorable tourism experiences on revisit intention (RVI). For these purposes, the survey technique obtained data from 569 domestic and foreign tourists who participated in guided tours in the Cappadocia region. According to the results of the research, it has been observed that the performance of the tourist guide influences the memorable tourism experience, and the memorable tourism experience affects RVI. In light of the results, suggestions to tourism stakeholders and researchers are listed.Scopus The Interconnection Between Workplace Incivility, Religiosity and Employees’ Psychological Well-Being: An Update of the Conservation of Resources Theory(International Association of Management, Spirituality and Religion, 2024) Abualigah, A.; Koburtay, T.; Syed, J.; Arici, H.E.; Aboramadan, M.Drawing upon the conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study contextually examines the relationship between workplace incivility IP: and 5.10.31.151 employees’On: psychological Fri, 19 Janwell- 202 being, and the moderating effect Delivered of religiosity by Ingenta on this relationship. Following a quantitative approach, data were collected from 199 employees from different service industries in Jordan and the hypotheses were tested with partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) using SmartPLS 3.3.3. The findings show that workplace incivility negatively affects employees’ psychological well-being, and intrinsic religiosity buffers this adverse effect. Our study brings to fore the concept of religiosity, an important yet neglected personal resource. The findings extend the notion of COR theory through capturing the linkages between the focal constructs, thus contributing to the literature through demonstrating that intrinsic religiosity, as a boundary condition, buffers the adverse effect of workplace incivility on employees’ well-being. The study highlights in closing an array of future research directions.Scopus The role of spirituality in the workplace in the context of corporate culture(Emerald Publishing, 2023) Arasli, F.; Arici, H.E.; Arasli, H.This chapter introduces and discusses spirituality in the workplace from the lens of corporate culture. Organizational members represent the core embodiment of businesses, while their performance signifies vitalization of strategic goals that heavily depends on their sense of wellbeing and belonging to their organizations. In that sense, organizations must indulge on positive cycles to comprehend, tune, and affix on members' well-being for sustainable longevity and profitability. For this chapter, strategic management capsu- lates implementation of premeditated objectives via systematic establishment of agendas and deployment of assets. In the same vein, spirituality is centered around the self-induced nature of organizational member behaviors. Elaboratively, authors provide a condensed corpus of research to identify and touch base with the multidisciplinary nature of spirituality in differentiating business types. Accordingly, select constructs are exemplified within the general and sub-fields of management to characterize the linkages of spirituality spanning across service and production focused industries. Based on their expertise, authors exemplify tourism and hospitality literature for the representation of service-focused businesses and provide mini-review of the housed organizational spirituality literature. As a secondary focus, authors discuss the employee, management, and organizational level similarities of spirituality by largely focusing on organizational member perceptions. Distinctively, this work exemplifies the prolific studies to help distinguish longstanding "belief-centric" devotions from organizational spirituality of exemplified industries. The chapter finishes with suggestions for future studies.
