Integration of Emerging Technologies in Tourism and Hospitality Curriculum: an International Perspective
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Baser, Mirac Yucel; Kozak, Metin; Buyukbes, Tuba
This paper investigates the status of emerging technologies, how they can be integrated into the curriculum, the skills students can acquire through these technologies, and the employment opportunities they create in the tourism and hospitality industry. In the study, a content analysis was conducted on the curriculum of 65 undergraduate tourism and hospitality management programs, followed by an analysis of data from 28 academics to explore the role of emerging technologies in the curriculum. We have observed six core topics. Technology courses had the lowest proportion. We further observe four categories of skills that emerging technologies may provide students, highlighting their potential to shape future career opportunities. Building on these findings, the current study contributes to the literature by linking these skill sets - digital and technological, theoretical, operational, and managerial - to emerging job roles such as virtual reality tour designers, competent tourism developers, and AI-driven marketing specialists. Furthermore, the study identifies the domains where emerging technologies have the most relevance and outlines which purpose they may be included in the tourism and hospitality curriculum as a course. Thus, it forwards previous studies emphasizing the importance of emerging technologies. The study also suggests the implications for the literature, practice, and public policies.
Fictitious Conspiracy, Paranormal, and Pseudoscience Beliefs Are Closely Related To Their Regular Counterparts
(Springer, 2025) Alper, Sinan; Elcil, Tugcenaz; Karaca, Nazif; Bayrak, Fatih; Yilmaz, Onurcan
Belief in various types of Epistemically Suspect Beliefs (ESBs), such as conspiracy theories, paranormal phenomena, and pseudoscientific claims, tends to strongly correlate. However, the use of ESB scales in the literature, which often include phenomena frequently encountered in daily life with familiar content, challenges the clarity of inferences about this relationship. To address this issue, we developed a scale for Fictitious Epistemically Suspect Beliefs (FESBs), composed entirely of novel and fabricated statements related to conspiracy, paranormal activity, and pseudoscience. In Study 1, with a Turkish sample of 448 participants, we found that FESBs positively correlated with ESBs, despite consisting of less familiar claims. Moreover, both FESBs and ESBs showed similar associations with individual differences in worldview and cognition. These findings were replicated in a larger Turkish sample (N = 786) in Study 2, and a UK sample (N = 746) in Study 3. The results indicate that individuals with higher ESBs are more likely to endorse FESBs, despite having never encountered these claims before.
Cognitive Styles and Behavioral Systems: Linking Looming Cognitive Style and Reinforcement Sensitivity
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Altan-Atalay, Ayse; Gokdag, Ceren; King, Naz
Background: Looming cognitive style, with its social and physical subtypes, is highly influential on how individuals perceive and respond to threats. Despite its robust relationship with anxiety, its relationship with other traits is underexplored. Revised reward sensitivity theory also addresses individual differences in approach, avoidance, and susceptibility to fear and anxiety. The current study examined associations of behavioral activation (BAS), inhibition (BIS), and fight-flight-freeze systems (FFFS) with social and physical looming. Method: Data were collected online from 401 adults (343 women) between the ages 18 and 65 (M = 22.78 (SD = 6.57) using measures of looming cognitive style, reinforcement sensitivity, anxiety, and depression. Results: The findings showed that social and physical looming were positively associated with BIS and FFFS, controlling for age, gender, and anxiety and depression symptoms. Additionally, social looming was negatively associated with BAS. Conclusions: The findings indicate that social and physical looming are linked to heightened sensitivity to threat and, in the case of social looming, reduced reward sensitivity. These results underscore the role of looming cognitive style in shaping anxiety-related behaviors and responses to environmental stimuli.
Redistribution Trends in Turkey: Unintended Consequences Vs. Deliberate Policies
(Wiley, 2025) Tekguc, Hasan; Eryar, Deger
We investigate the impact of taxes, transfers, and social spending on inequality in Turkey during the first two decades of the 21st century. We employ Household Budget Surveys from 2003, 2007, 2011, 2015, and 2019 to estimate market, pension as deferred income, gross, disposable, consumable, and final incomes following the framework developed by the Commitment to Equality Institute. We show that the equality-enhancing effect of total taxes and transfers became more noticeable, resulting in a larger decline in the Gini coefficient from 2003 (12 percentage points) to 2019 (17 percentage points). A large part of the higher equality-enhancing impact over time is accounted for by the unintended consequences of structural changes, past policies, and demographic trends. We focus on the forbearance of self-employment and capital income under-reporting, the endurance of past pension policies, the effect of the declining fertility rate, and explicit policy choices in the areas of health and social assistance. Compared to Latin American countries, the Turkish welfare system redistributes more, especially through the pension system, but also causes relatively higher fiscal impoverishment for low-income households due to the disproportionately high share of indirect taxes.
Evaluation of the Sensitivity of Pbl and Sgs Treatments in Different Flow Fields Using the Wrf-Les at Perdigão
(Mdpi, 2025) Yilmaz, Erkan; Mentes, Sukran Sibel; Kirkil, Gokhan
This study investigates the effectiveness of the large eddy simulation version of the Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-LES) in reproducing the atmospheric conditions observed during a Perdig & atilde;o field experiment. When comparing the results of the WRF-LES with observations, using LES settings can accurately represent both large-scale events and the specific characteristics of atmospheric circulation at a small scale. Six sensitivity experiments are performed to evaluate the impact of different planetary boundary layer (PBL) schemes, including the MYNN, YSU, and Shin and Hong (SH) PBL models, as well as large eddy simulation (LES) with Smagorinsky (SMAG), a 1.5-order turbulence kinetic energy closure (TKE) model, and nonlinear backscatter and anisotropy (NBA) subgrid-scale (SGS) stress models. Two case studies are selected to be representative of flow conditions. In the northeastern flow, the MYNN NBA simulation yields the best result at a height of 100 m with an underestimation of 3.4%, despite SH generally producing better results than PBL schemes. In the southwestern flow, the MYNN TKE simulation at station Mast 29 is the best result, with an underestimation of 1.2%. The choice of SGS models over complex terrain affects wind field features in the boundary layer more than above the boundary layer. The NBA model generally produces better results in complex terrain when compared to other SGS models. In general, the WRF-LES can model the observed flow with high-resolution topographic maps in complex terrain with different SGS models for both flow regimes.
Influence of a Perspective Oriented Task, Executive Function, and Trait Perspective Taking on Efl Writing
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2025) Coskun, Turgut; Aptoula, Nur Yigitoglu
This study adopted a cognitive approach and investigated the effect of a writing task on the passages composed by B2-level EFL learners by considering their executive function and trait perspective-taking capabilities. The experimental group was exposed to a perspective-oriented writing task. Most importantly, they were asked to read three short messages shared by their audience, then take their perspective and write down whatever came to their minds. A perspective-neutral control group was also asked to read the messages but was not encouraged to take the audience's perspective. They were just asked to write down whatever came to their minds. Then, both groups tried to write a convincing passage and completed four executive function tasks and a trait perspective-taking scale. The results revealed that exposing B2-level EFL learners to a perspective-oriented task increased the overall writing quality of the participants if they have high executive function or trait perspective-taking capabilities. These findings confirm the importance of a task for directing and managing cognitive resources and show the executive function's central role and trait perspective-taking's importance in writing. The tasks that encourage employing these individual resources may enrich the instructor toolboxes.
Green Transition for Turkey: Growth, Employment, and Trade Deficit Effects
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2025) Gozkun, Kubra Atik; Orhangazi, Ozgur
This study examines the potential economic impacts of Turkey's energy transition by focusing on the effects of solar and wind energy investments. With Turkey aiming for "net zero" emissions by 2053, this research evaluates the impacts on total emissions, economic growth, employment, and the trade deficit under various scenarios. Utilizing input-output analysis and the employment factor approach, we analyze the macroeconomic and emission outcomes of a 10-year clean energy investment project targeting the transformation of the energy sector. Our findings indicate that investing in solar and wind energy could reduce Turkey's greenhouse gas emissions by 28-77 percent of 2020 emission levels. These investments are projected to enhance economic growth, contributing an additional 0.6%-1.8% of 2020 GDP annually on average. The employment effects are also significant, with total potential job creation amounting to a total of 1.3%-3.4% of Turkey's labor force in 2020. Furthermore, the investments are expected to improve the trade balance by 6.9-14.6 billion dollars over 10 years. The results suggest that green energy investments can simultaneously achieve environmental goals and promote economic stability through job creation and improve trade balances.

Exploring Women's Visceral Engagement With Electric Appliances in Turkish Kitchens
(Springernature, 2025) Karaosmanoglu, Defne; Ata, Leyla Bektas; Emgin, Bahar
This paper investigates the narratives and experiences of women regarding cooking with small electric appliances. It intends to offer a novel perspective on gender and technology studies by foregrounding the visceral dimensions of these encounters. Drawing from a larger project on the historical representations and lived experiences of domestic technologies in Turkey, it highlights how the embodied dimensions of cooking shape the ways women perceive, adapt, and integrate technology into their daily lives. This study is based on interviews with twenty-seven women across five cities in Turkey conducted between 2022 and 2024. While small electric appliances are often marketed for convenience and efficiency, we argue that focusing solely on their instrumental benefits neglects the complex and visceral ways women engage with technology. A visceral approach remains an undervalued lens for understanding these interactions, particularly as women's embodied knowledge and relationships to kitchen appliances challenge scholarship that prioritizes progress and efficiency. As active agents, many women resist these technologies, viewing them as misaligned with the embodied knowledge and practices integral to cooking. By reevaluating the relationship between food, gender, and technology, we propose that such disengagement challenges the positivist reliance on science and technology, emphasizing the importance of embodied knowledge and everyday practices in shaping women's interactions with technology.
Decision Making, Emotion Recognition and Childhood Traumatic Experiences in Murder Convicts Imprisoned With Aggravated Life Sentence: a Prison Study
(Turkish Neuropsychiatry Assoc-Turk Noropsikiyatri Derneği, 2025) Cikrikcili, Ugur; Yildirim, Elif; Buker, Seda; Ger, Can; Erozden, Ozan; Gurvit, Hakan; Saydam, Bilgin
Introduction: Decision-making and emotion recognition are two fundamental themes in social cognition. Disorders in these areas can lead to interpersonal, psychosocial, and legal problems for the individual and society. The likelihood of consequent aggression and crime makes them foci of forensic psychiatry over time. In this study, two developmental disorders that have a clear relationship with crime, that are antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), and psychopathy are investigated for their relationship with these social cognitive deficits. Methods: The present study involved 23 male prison inmates who were diagnosed with both antisocial personality disorder and psychopathy, as well as 23 control participants who were matched for age, gender, and level of education. Following the psychiatric interview, Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET), the Iowa Gambling Test (IGT), Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS), Defense Styles Questionnaire (DSQ), Childhood Psychic Trauma Scale (CTQ), Hare Psychopathy Checklist (PCL-R) were administered to all participants. Results: The results of the study showed that ASPD group performed statistically worse than healthy controls in TAS, CTQ, all items of DSQ, PCL-R Factor 1 and 2, and all the IGT scores (p<0.05). There were no statistically significant difference between in the RMETtest performances Conclusion: These results suggest that ASPD and psychopathy lead to impaired decision-making behaviors due to the inability to recognize one's own emotions and impulsivity, and that these characteristics play a critical role in the criminal behavior of individuals. In addition, contrary to expectations, the results of affective theory of mind assessed with the RMET showed similar characteristics in homicide convicts and healthy controls. These data indicate the need for further research in the field of forensic psychiatry.
Securing and Optimizing Iot Offloading With Blockchain and Deep Reinforcement Learning in Multi-User Environments
(Springer, 2025) Heidari, Arash; Navimipour, Nima Jafari; Jamali, Mohammad Ali Jabraeil; Akbarpour, Shahin
The growth of the Internet of Things (IoT)-related innovations has resulted in the invention of numerous IoT objects. However, the resource limitations of individual items remain a challenge that can be overcome through offloading. A key limitation of previous research is the absence of an integrated offloading framework that can operate securely in offline/online environments. The security and calculated online/offline offloading issues in a multi-user IoT-fog-cloud system with blockchain are investigated in this article at the same time. First, we provide a reliable access control system utilizing blockchain to enhance offloading security. This technique can guard cloud resources against unauthorized offloading practices. Next, we define a computation offloading issue by optimizing the offloading decisions, allocating computing resources and radio bandwidth, and intelligent contract use to address the computation management of authorized mobile devices. This optimization challenge focuses on the long-term system costs of latency, energy use, and intelligent contract charge among all mobile devices. We create a new Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) technique employing a double-dueling Q-network to address the suggested offloading problem. We provide a Markov Decision Process (MDP)-based DRL solution to the IoT offloading-enabled blockchain dilemma. The supposed system works in both online and offline settings, and when operating online, we use the Post Decision State (PDS) method. The contributions of this work include a new integrated offloading framework that can operate in offline/online environments while preserving security and a novel approach that incorporates fog platforms into IoT blockchain-enabled networks for improved system efficiency. Our method outperforms four benchmarks in cost by 5.1%, computational overhead by 4.1%, energy use by 3.3%, task failure rate by 3.6%, and latency by 3.9% on average.
Application of the Fuzzy Mcdm Model for the Selection of a Multifunctional Machine for Sustainable Waste Management
(Mdpi, 2025) Duan, Yu; Stevic, Zeljko; Novarlic, Boris; Zolfani, Sarfaraz Hashemkhani; Gorcun, Omer Faruk; Subotic, Marko
In the sustainability concept, one of the most important areas is sustainable waste management, a system that significantly impacts both economic and social well-being. The aim of this paper is to create a unique model that can contribute to better and more promising waste management in local governments in order to increase the level of sustainability. The scientific contribution and novelty of this research is reflected in developing the Fuzzy M-FullEX (Modified Fuller's triangle approach extended) method for defining fuzzy weight coefficients of criteria and its integration with the Fuzzy ROV (range of value) method for ranking multifunctional machines. The unique model developed in this study encompasses 10 criteria and seven alternative solutions, including the two aforementioned Fuzzy MCDM (multi-criteria decision-making) methods and the Bonferroni operator for averaging expert assessments. The results of the Fuzzy M-FullEX-Fuzzy ROV model based on the preferences of three experts define the best multifunctional machine for efficient and sustainable waste management, which is the Venieri. The rankings are as follows: M1 > M3 > M2 > M4 > M5 > M6 > M7. The obtained results were confirmed through extensive analysis (sensitivity, comparative analysis, correlation coefficients, different matrix size) and discussion.
Geographies of Place-Affective Trans-Becoming: an Ethnography of Drag in Istanbul
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ogut, Tuna; Kilickiran, Didem; Akpinar, Ipek
This paper presents an ethnographic study of Dudaklar & imath;n Cengi, a drag and queer performing event series in Istanbul, where a community of predominantly trans and non-binary performers create a place of collectivity for self-expression and gender exploration. Drawing on trans and feminist geographical perspectives, we examine how the participants use drag as a way of creating shared imagery, exploring themselves in relation to gender, and producing places in the city through their performances beyond the stage. We conceptualise Dudaklar & imath;n Cengi as a place-as-becoming that emerges from the intensities of social ties, flows, narratives, and sensations. We also propose a geographical understanding of gendered embodiment to account for transness in new spatial ways that enable the interrogation of phenomena that do not immediately yield their relevancy to the category of gender. The data was collected in over three years of presence within the field through situated and reflexive participant observation, informal conversations, in-depth interviews, and the participants' written narratives. We analyse the data with iterative cycles of grounded theory completed with continuous collaborative theorisation with participants. Through this collaborative theorisation, a series of concepts emerge that explain the experiences of the participants: opening drag, collectivising the stage, socialising in drag, urban navigation of gender, and an unfolding sense of drag. Together, these concepts help explain a novel understanding of place-affective trans-becoming.
Effects of Pre- and Post-Displacement Difficulties on Parenting Behaviors of Refugee Fathers
(Sage Publications Ltd, 2025) Turunc, Gamze; Kisbu, Yasemin
Adverse effects of war trauma and post-displacement difficulties on refugee families are well-documented in the previous literature, however, there is considerably less research with refugee fathers focusing on different types of stressors. The current study tested a multiple linkage model between war trauma, different post-displacement difficulties, paternal mental health and parenting behaviors. Data was collected from 286 Syrian refugee fathers who have fled from Syria and resettled in Turkey with their children between 2 to 5 years. Using path analysis we examined the associations between pre-displacement war trauma, post-displacement difficulties and perceived discrimination, and fathers' depression, anxiety, and PTSD levels in addition to the punishment and warmth toward their children. Consistent with prior research, results showed that war trauma exposure negatively predicted different post-displacement stressors. In turn, displacement stressors negatively predicted paternal mental health indicators such as depression, anxiety and PTSD. Indirect effects showed that war-trauma has a negative impact on parenting of Syrian refugee fathers through different paths. Results suggested that both post-displacement stressor and discrimination significantly predicts the mental health outcomes and punishment and warmth of fathers and are important risk factors to address within policies and practices regarding refugee parents.
Structural Descriptors for Subunit Interface Regions in Homodimers: Effect of Lipid Membrane and Secondary Structure Type
(Amer Chemical Soc, 2025) Yuksek, Asli; Yikinc, Batuhan; Nayir, Irem; Alnigenis, Defne; Fidan, Vahap Gazi; Topuz, Tayyip; Akten, Ebru Demet
A total of 1311 homodimers were collected and analyzed in three different categories to highlight the impact of lipid environment and secondary structure type: 422 cytoplasmic alpha-helix, 411 cytoplasmic beta-strand, and 478 membrane complexes. Structural features of the interface connecting two monomers were investigated and compared to those of the non-interface surface. Every residue on the surface of each monomer was explored based on four attributes: solvent-accessible surface area (SASA), protrusion index (C x ), surface planarity, and surface roughness. SASA and C x distribution profiles clearly distinguished the interface from the surface in all categories, where the rim of the interface displayed higher SASA and C x values than the rest of the surface. Surface residues in membrane complexes protruded less than cytoplasmic ones due to the hydrophobic environment, and consequently, the difference between surface and interface residues became less noticeable in that category. Cytoplasmic beta-strand complexes displayed markedly lower SASA at the interface core than at the surface. The major distinction between the surface and interface was achieved through surface roughness, which displayed significantly higher values for the interface than the surface, especially in cytoplasmic complexes. Clearly, a surface which is relatively rugged favors the association of two monomers through multiple van der Waals interactions and hydrogen-bond formations. Another structural descriptor with strong distinguishing ability was surface planarity, which was higher at the interface than at the non-interface surface. Surface flatness would eventually facilitate the interconnectedness of an interface with a network of residue pairs bridging two complementary surfaces. Analysis of contact pairs revealed that hydrophobic pairs have the highest frequency of occurrence in the lipid environment of membrane complexes. However, despite the scarcity of polar residues at the interface, the likelihood of observing a contact between polar residues was markedly higher than that of hydrophobic ones.
A New Piece in the Puzzle: Corruption and Financial Constraints-Evidence From European Firms
(Wiley, 2025) Garcia-Gomez, Conrado Diego; Bilyay-Erdogan, Seda; Demir, Ender; Diez-Esteban, Jose Maria
This study explores how country-level corruption affects firm-level financial constraints. We use a sample of 21 European countries from 2002 to 2022 comprising 22,974 firm-year observations. We find that corruption increases financial constraints. In other words, as countries become more transparent, firms face fewer financial constraints. Our findings are robust when we employ alternative definitions of corruption, financial constraints, alternative subsamples, additional firm-level control variables, and different econometric methodologies. As a further analysis, we provide novel evidence that an increase in country-level transparency decreases financial constraints only for firms with lower information asymmetry, higher institutional ownership, or higher foreign ownership. Finally, this effect is stronger for firms with lower ESG performance and firms without bribery corruption or fraud controversies. Our paper contributes to the literature by employing country-level corruption indices as a macroeconomic determinant of firm-level financial constraints for firms in developed countries and by investigating how different firm-level factors moderate the association between country-level corruption and firm-level financial constraints.
Navigating the Digital Age: Children's Self-Regulatory Skills and Technoference in Parent-Child Interactions
(Wiley, 2025) Yildiz, Ezgi; Kessafoglu, Dilara; Altundal, Merve Nur; Akel, Gizem; Uzundag, Berna A.
ObjectiveThis study aimed to examine the pathways connecting child effortful control with technoference while considering the roles of parenting stress and mothers' problematic smartphone use, characterized by an inability to regulate compulsive smartphone use. BackgroundInterruptions caused by technology use, commonly referred to as technoference, have significant implications for child development and parent-child interactions. Despite previous studies indicating a link between technoference and child effortful control, the directionality of this relationship remains ambiguous. MethodA total of 199 mothers with children aged 3 to 7 years living in T & uuml;rkiye participated in an online survey, providing data on the frequency of technoference in parent-child interactions, parenting stress, parental problematic smartphone use, and their children's effortful control. ResultsA significant mediation model, F(6, 187) = 10.73, R-2 = .26, p < .001, indicated that parents of children with lower effortful control reported heightened levels of parenting stress, subsequently resulting in increased problematic smartphone use and a greater incidence of technoference in parent-child interactions (standardized indirect effect coefficient = -.04, SE = .02, 95% bias-corrected and accelerated confidence interval [-.13, -.08]). ConclusionOverall, increased parenting stress related to children's poorer effortful control may drive parents to seek solace in smartphone use, resulting in more interruptions in parent-child interactions. ImplicationsBy identifying a pathway from children's effortful control skills to technoference in parent-child interactions, the study emphasizes the significance of recognizing the role of mobile devices in contemporary family life.
A Nano-Scale Design of Vedic Multiplier for Electrocardiogram Signal Processing Based on a Quantum Technology
(Aip Publishing, 2025) Wang, Yuyao; Darbandi, Mehdi; Ahmadpour, Seyed-Sajad; Navimipour, Nima Jafari; Navin, Ahmad Habibizad; Heidari, Arash; Anbar, Mohammad
An electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electric signals from the heartbeat to diagnose various heart issues; nevertheless, it is susceptible to noise. ECG signal noise must be removed because it significantly affects ECG signal characteristics. In addition, speed and occupied area play a fundamental role in ECG structures. The Vedic multiplier is an essential part of signal processing and is necessary for various applications, such as ECG, clusters, and finite impulse response filter architectures. All ECGs have a Vedic multiplier circuit unit that is necessary for signal processing. The Vedic multiplier circuit always performs multiplication and accumulation steps to execute continuous and complex operations in signal processing programs. Conversely, in the Vedic multiplier framework, the circuit speed and occupied area are the main limitations. Fixing these significant defects can drastically improve the performance of this crucial circuit. The use of quantum technologies is one of the most popular solutions to overcome all previous shortcomings, such as the high occupied area and speed. In other words, a unique quantum technology like quantum dot cellular automata (QCA) can easily overcome all previous shortcomings. Thus, based on quantum technology, this paper proposes a multiplier for ECG using carry skip adder, half-adder, and XOR circuits. All suggested frameworks utilized a single-layer design without rotated cells to increase their operability in complex architectures. All designs have been proposed with a coplanar configuration in view, having an impact on the circuits' durability and stability. All proposed architectures have been designed and validated with the tool QCADesigner 2.0.3. All designed circuits showed a simple structure with minimum quantum cells, minimum area, and minimum delay with respect to state-of-the-art structures.

Navigating Legal Avenues: the Complex Landscape of Disaster Accountability in Turkey
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Aslan, Ozlem
As an increasing number of citizens are turning to administrative courts to seek remedies and address deficiencies in disaster management, disaster trials in Turkey emerge as critical sites for exploring the law's potential and limitations in fostering disaster justice. In this article, I examine two significant flood-related disasters and the role of "legal technicalities" in advancing disaster justice within the administrative courts of Turkey. The precedent-setting rulings of these cases challenged the disaster management system, which functions through a paternalistic framework. This framework defines the state's involvement in disasters as providing post-disaster aid to victims and survivors rather than prioritizing risk mitigation and prevention. By focusing on the accounts of lawyers as the "legal engineers" who mediate between the experiences of survivors and the legal technicalities, I aim first to provide insights into the evolving dynamics between citizens and state institutions concerning disaster accountability in Turkey. Second, I endeavor to contribute to socio-legal scholarship by employing "legal technicalities" as an analytical framework to investigate how disaster victims and their legal representatives navigate complex bureaucratic and procedural challenges in their efforts to reshape the parameters of disaster accountability.
