    Abstract The analysis of landslide susceptibility is a crucial tool in the mitigation and management of ecological and economic hazards. The number of studies examining how the form and durability of forest areas affect landslide susceptibility is very limited. This study was conducted in the Marmara region of northwestern Türkiye, where forested areas and industrial zones are intertwined and dense. The landslide susceptibility map was produced by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. In the context of AHP, a total of 12 different variables were employed, namely lithology, slope, curvatures, precipitations, aspect, distance to fault lines, distance to streams, distance to roads, land use, soil, elevation, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). The performance analysis of the landslide susceptibility map was conducted using the Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) curve method. The AUC value was computed (0.809) for the landslide susceptibility map generated by using the AHP technique. Forest type maps were used to analyze the impact of forests on landslide susceptibility. In terms of forest structure, 4 main criteria were determined: stand structure, development stage, crown closure, and stand age. Each criterion was analyzed with Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by overlaying it with the landslide susceptibility map of the study area. The results showed that the risk of landslides was lowest in forests with more than one tree species, mature, development stage and of (e) > 52 cm, and crown closure of 41%-70% (2).

    Abstract In this study, it is aimed to examine the predictive effect of grammar and vocabulary variables on writing skills of those who learn Turkish as a foreign language and to determine the significance of the variables that affect the writing skills. The study was conducted according to the relational scanning model, one of the quantitative research models. The data of the study were obtained from a total of 100 students with B1 and B2 language levels in Turkish Teaching Centers in the spring semester of the 2019-2020 academic year. In the analysis of the data obtained, descriptive statistics such as mean, t-test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and regression and correlation analysis from hypothesis tests were used. The data were analyzed using SPPS 21.0 data analysis program. As a result of the study, it was observed that the students obtained a result close to the middle level in the grammar test, grammar and writing skills did not differ according to gender, but the probability value calculated for "Vocabulary" changed in favor of men. It has been seen that students at B2 language level get higher scores than students at B1 language level, level of knowledge of the language, vocabulary and writing skills levels of older age groups that favor change and increasing life expectancy in Turkey in grammar, vocabulary and writing skills has been shown to increase. It has been observed that language and vocabulary have a positive and significant effect on writing skill, and there is a positive, significant and high relationship between grammar and vocabulary.

    Abstract Bu çalışma, dinin potansiyel lüks marka müşterilerinin satın alma kararlarını etkileyip etkilemediğini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Genel olarak, İslam dininin, hayatın her yönünde takipçilerine kılavuzluk ettiğine inanılmaktadır. Bu yüzden, İslam'ın tüketicinin satın alma davranışını nasıl etkilediğini bilmek çalışmanın ana amaçlarından biri olacaktır. Elde edilen bulgular, pazarlamacıların, Türk tüketicilerinin dini inançlarına dayalı olarak lüks ürün satın alma niyetini daha iyi anlamalarına yardımcı olmak için faydalıdır. Veriler SPSS ve AMOS 20 programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmaya 400 kişi katılmış, veriler temizlendikten sonra, 232 kişi % 58’lik bir cevaplama oranıyla anketleri tamamlamıştır. Çalışmanın bulguları, dini inancın davranışa yönelik inanç, normatif inançlar ve lüks ürünlere yönelik satın alma niyetlerini etkilemediğini ortaya koymaktadır. Ayrıca, bulgular sadece öznel normlar ve normatif inanışlar ile lüks ürünlere yönelik satın alma niyetleri arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu makale, lüks marka yöneticilerine, dinin tüketicilerin satın alma kararları üzerindeki etkisi konusunda bilgi sahibi olmaları açısından faydalı katkılar sağlayacaktır. Bu sayede, pazarlamacılar etkili pazarlama stratejileri oluşturabilir ve tüketicilerin dini inançları, tutumları ve öznel normlarıyla uyumlu ürünler ve hizmetler sunabilirler.

    Abstract Introduction: Glove-induced dermatoses are frequently seen among healthcare workers (HCWs) and are often mistakenly defined as latex allergy.
    Objectives: To determine the prevalences of (i) the symptoms of immediate type hypersensitivity reactions, (ii) the symptoms of hand eczema, (iii) latex sensitization detected using skin prick test (SPT), and (iv) contact hypersensitivity to rubber additives or glove pieces detected using patch test, in Turkish HCWs.
    Methods: Ninety-eight HCWs were included in the study. All subjects completed a questionnaire. All participants were skin prick tested for latex, and foods previously identified as concomitant allergens in latex-sensitive individuals; patch tested for 7 rubber additives, 3 additional haptens, and glove pieces.
    Results: The mean age was 32.1 (± 9.4) years, and 71 (72.4%) participants were nurses. Eighty-four (85.7%) subjects had a history of mucocutaneous symptoms of immediate-type hypersensitivity occurring within the first 24 hours after latex glove contact, while 9 (9.2%) subjects demonstrated SPT positivity for latex. Eighty (81.6%) subjects had a history of glove-induced hand eczema symptoms, while patch test positivity for the rubber additives or glove pieces was in 17.3%.
    Conclusions: About one-tenth of those with a history of glove-induced type I hypersensitivity symptoms had true latex allergy, and one-quarter of those with a history of glove-related hand eczema symptoms had contact hypersensitivity to glove products. Therefore, rote avoidance of latex use is generally ineffective in the management of glove-related skin complaints. Individual measures should focus on reducing the use of soaps and disinfectants, and promoting the use of moisturizers, rather than glove choice.

    Abstract Today, data mining has become a relevant topic in digital soil mapping. In this current study, prediction of some soil properties and their spatial distribution were examined by machine learning algorithms (Support Vector Machine, Artificial Neural Network) using reflectance values of Triplesat satellite image bands in Vezirköprü district of Samsun province. The band data obtained from different wavelengths revealed positive correlations between the electrical conductivity and calcium carbonate equivalent contents of the soils. The support vector machine algorithm was the most successful to estimate the textural fractions, organic matter, electrical conductivity, and calcium carbonate equivalent contents of the soils using the bands obtained from satellite images. The mean absolute error for estimating sand, silt, and clay contents by support vector machine was 4.05%, 3.05%, and 3.66%, respectively. Texture classes were determined with an accuracy of 82% with support vector machine and 60% with artificial neural network. In all estimations, the highest percentage of error was for calcium carbonate equivalent content with very low estimation reliability. The mean absolute percentage of error values for this property are 101.13% and 51.61% for artificial neural network and support vector machine, respectively. Also, in both algorithms, the most successfully estimated soil property was clay fraction of soils. It was also investigated the spatial distribution of actual and estimated values using various interpolation methods (Kriging, inverse distance weighting-, radial basis function). Considering the spatial distributions, it was determined that the most successful method was kriging for sand, silt, and clay contents and inverse distance weighting for electrical conductivity, calcium carbonate equivalent, and organic matter contents. According to our findings, it is concluded that successful estimations and spatial distributions can be made by the support vector machine algorithm using band data from different wavelengths.

    Abstract It is known that sponsorship has a significant impact on the performance of marketing. In the study, it was aimed to create a conceptual structure in the sponsorship communication process. The research conducted by Cardist in 210 exhibitors shows the factors affecting the relationship between the six brands sponsoring the event (Hürriyet, Cnbc-e, BKM, Banksoft, Visa Card and Master Card) and the event (Cardist). In this light, this paper aims to contribute to the literature by providing a better understanding of the links between sponsorship and brand image transfer .It is one of the most important findings of the study to emphasize that the harmony between sponsor and event is important in multiple sponsorship agreements and that the sponsor brands should be influenced by the image of the sponsored event. Furthermore, when more than one brand sponsors the same activity, it is claimed that these brands and the event are perceived as a single group.

    Abstract Background: Human Demodex mites, Demodex folliculorum and Demodex brevis, are microorganisms that reside in the pilosebaceous units, usually without causing symptoms. Phototherapy has been linked to demodicosis in previous studies. We aimed to determine whether there was an increase in the frequency of demodicosis and Demodex density after 20 phototherapy sessions.
    Methods: A case-control study was conducted with 32 participants who received narrowband ultraviolet B or ultraviolet A-1 therapy for various dermatological indications. Standardized skin surface biopsies were performed before and after phototherapy to assess Demodex density. The presence of Demodex-related skin conditions was assessed before phototherapy. A statistical analysis was performed to compare the Demodex densities and prevalence of demodicosis between the baseline and 20th session of phototherapy.
    Results: No significant change was observed in Demodex density after 20 sessions of phototherapy. The average Demodex density before treatment was 2.75 ± 4.48 (/cm
    Conclusions: Our findings contradict previous studies that suggested an increased Demodex density and demodicosis prevalence after phototherapy. The data from previous studies are open to debate due to their selected samples, designs, and interpretations regarding the phototherapy-immunosuppression-Demodex relationship. Larger-scale longitudinal studies conducted on a homogeneous sample are warranted to better understand the relationship between phototherapy and demodicosis.

    Abstract Background: Demodex density is known to increase in various immunosuppressive conditions. The relationship between biologic therapy and Demodex density remains unknown. We aimed to investigate whether the density of Demodex mites is higher in psoriasis patients treated with biologic agents compared to treatment-naive or topically treated patients.
    Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, comparing psoriasis patients receiving biologic therapy (n = 34) with controls (n = 33). Demodex density was assessed using the standardized skin surface biopsy technique (SSSB). Statistical analysis was performed to compare the densities and prevalence of demodicosis between the two groups.
    Results: Demodex density was significantly higher in the biologic therapy group compared to the control group on the right cheek (7.29 vs. 0.12/cm
    Conclusions: Psoriasis patients receiving biologic therapy had a higher Demodex density and prevalence of demodicosis compared to controls. Biologics may lead to an increase in Demodex density by blocking specific cytokines, such as interleukin-17 and tumor necrosis factor-α, which play a role in immunity against Demodex. Further research is needed to explore the impact of different biological agents on Demodex density.
