Alexander Mcqueen’in Plato’s Atlantis Koleksiyonunun Üretken Yapay Zekâ ile Yeniden Yorumlanması: Tasarım Kodlarının Dijital Dönüşümü
(Yaz Yayınları, 2026) Maraba, Bahar
Moda tasarımı; biçim, malzeme, yüzey ve beden ilişkilerinin bir arada değerlendirildiği yaratıcı bir üretim alanıdır. Dijital teknolojilerin tasarım süreçlerine dahil olmasıyla birlikte; tasarımın araştırılması, geliştirilmesi ve görselleştirilmesinde kullanılan yöntemlerde artış gözlemlenmektedir. Özellikle üretken yapay zekâ uygulamalarının yaygınlaşması, tasarımcının görsel kaynaklardan yola çıkarak, yeni tasarım önerileri geliştirmesine yönelik imkânları ortaya çıkarmıştır. Üretken yapay zekâ, görsel verileri belirli komutlar doğrultusunda işleyerek yeni görüntüler oluşturabilmesi ile moda tasarımında fikir geliştirme, biçim araştırması, görsel varyasyon oluşturma ve tasarım alternatiflerinin değerlendirilmesi gibi süreçlerde kullanılmaya başlanmıştır.
Sexual Health Outcomes in Women with Chronic Diseases: Sexual Dysfunction, Quality of Sexual Life and Marital Satisfaction
(Sprınger Nature, 16.06.2026) Öz, Tuğba; Yılmaz, Ülkü; Çalışkan, Behice Belkıs
This study examines the relationships between sexual dysfunction, quality of sexual life, and marital satisfaction in women with chronic diseases and determines how these variables affect each other. This study employs a correlational and cross-sectional design. The study was conducted with women over the age of 18 in a private hospital in Istanbul between December 2024 and June 2025. Data were collected using the Participant Information Form, Female Sexual Function Questionnaire Index (FSFQI), Sexual Life Quality Scale-Women Scale SLQS-WS), and Marital Adjustment Scale (MAS), all of which were prepared by the researchers. Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk tests were used to assess whether continuous variables demonstrated normality. Since the variables did not exhibit a normal distribution, nonparametric tests were used. Descriptive statistical methods (standard deviation, number, percentage, mean, minimum, maximum), Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, and Spearman correlation tests were used. Significance was set at p < .05.The average age of women with chronic diseases included in the study was 39.50 ± 10.29, and the average duration of marriage was 15.81 ± 11.45. The total average score of the women’s Sexual Function Questionnaire Index was 23.05 ± 11.11, the total average score of the Sexual Life Quality Scale-(Women’s Scale) was 42.89 ± 19.59, and the total average score of the Marital Adjustment Scale was 45.51 ± 7.19. A statistically significant relationship was found between FSFQI (r=-.518, p = .000), SLQS-WS (r=-.477, p = .000)and MAS (r = .333, p = .000) scores of women with chronic diseases. Chronic fatigue was found to be highly prevalent and showed a meaningful association with sexual function, sexual quality of life, and marital adjustment, indicating its potential impact on these interrelated domains
The Effects of Oil Price Shocks: A Dynamic SVAR Analysis of the Terms of Trade, Industrial Production, and Inflation
(Sprınger Nature, 02.10.2026) Süt, Ali Taha; Köse, Nezir; Ünal, Emre
This study investigated the impact of the oil price, alongside the exchange rate and wages, on essential macroeconomic indicators in Germany, specifically the terms of trade, industrial production, and inflation. Considering Germany’s export-driven economic structure and its strategic commitment to sustainable energy, it was important to ascertain whether fluctuations in the oil price significantly influenced macroeconomic factors. A structural vector autoregression (SVAR) model was employed to conduct a dynamic analysis using variance decomposition and impulse response functions. The results highlighted the critical role of the oil price in shaping macroeconomic outcomes. Variance decomposition findings revealed that oil price shocks significantly contributed to fluctuations in the terms of trade, industrial production, and inflation. These impacts remained consistent over time, confirming the structural significance of the energy price in Germany’s macroeconomic landscape. Impulse response functions showed that increases in the oil price had a significant positive effect on inflation and industrial production, while simultaneously exerting a negative and statistically significant impact on the terms of trade. The exchange rate exhibited a comparatively stronger influence on macroeconomic fluctuations, particularly in shaping the dynamics of the terms of trade. Overall, the findings indicated that while monetary and fiscal policies could be utilized to control inflation, enhance industrial production, and influence trade terms, the oil price constituted an exogenous variable. This underscored the need for comprehensive energy strategies aimed at reducing reliance on fossil fuel sources and strengthening macroeconomic resilience against external energy shocks.
Effects and relationships of early physiotherapy on respiratory functions and functional capacity at discharge in patients undergoing open heart surgery
(Sprınger Nature, 04.03.2026) Yetüt, Doğan; Şahbaz, Yasemin; Yeldan, İpek; Özelhas, Tülin; Alpagut, İbrahim Ufuk
Open heart surgery (OHS) often leads to declines in respiratory functions and functional capacity. Postoperative challenges, including changes in pulmonary function and respiratory muscle strength, can negatively impact patients’ recovery and quality of life. Early physiotherapy interventions aim to support the restoration of respiratory and physical functions during the critical discharge phase. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes in pulmonary function, respiratory muscle strength, and functional capacity, as well as the relationships among these markers, in patients discharged after undergoing open heart surgery.
The Impact of Social Media Based Advice on Health Behaviors in Digital Health Communication
(Taylor Francis, 17.06.2026) Öngel, Volkan; Uluğ Yurttaş, Özge; Bozkurt Ateş, Gözde; Gümüşboğa, Yağmur
The growing visibility of social media influencers has increased interest in their role in shaping health beliefs and behaviors. While prior research has largely focused on message characteristics or direct behavioral outcomes, less attention has been given to the conditions under which influencer-based health messages are interpreted and translated into action. This study conceptualizes influencer-based health communication not as a direct persuasive force, but as a conditional communication process. Drawing on Uses and Gratifications Theory and the Health Belief Model as interpretive frameworks, it examines how individuals engage with health-related influencer content, how such engagement relates to health perceptions, and how digital health literacy shapes message interpretation.
Survey data from social media users were analyzed using Firth’s penalized logistic regression to address the rarity of influencer-driven health behavior. Findings indicate that, despite high levels of exposure to influencer-based health content, the translation of such exposure into health-related action remains limited. Exposure to health content significantly increases the likelihood of influencer-driven behavior, whereas higher digital health literacy reduces this likelihood, suggesting a protective effect. Additionally, perceived commercial intent decreases the probability that influencer recommendations lead to action.
By distinguishing between engagement and behavioral change, this study reframes influencer effects as conditional outcomes shaped by motivations, perceptions, and interpretive competencies. It contributes to health communication literature by moving beyond linear persuasion models and highlighting the critical role of digital health literacy. The findings also offer practical implications for strengthening individuals’ ability to critically evaluate health information in digital environments.
