Neurodegenerative effects of boron and other elements on zebrafish and zebrafish embryos
(Taylor & Francis, 2025) Özel Korlu, Armağan Begüm; Yarat, Ayşen; Emekli Alturfan, Ebru
Zebrafish are a valuable model for studying neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) because of their rapid development, high reproductivity, and genetic similarity to humans. Their transparency during their early developmental stages and well-characterized nervous system renders them highly valuable for observing neurodevelopmental processes and identifying substances that can be harmful or protective. Various elements have been studied in zebrafish models to gain a clearer understanding of their roles in neurodegeneration and neuroprotection. These elements can influence cellular pathways associated with oxidative stress, apoptosis, neuroinflammation, and mitochondrial function, which are crucial in developing NDs. This review examines how different elements, such as boron, zinc, magnesium, selenium, iron, manganese, copper, lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, aluminum, silicon, cobalt, nickel, titanium, and tin, affect neural tissues in zebrafish. By synthesizing data from studies on neurotoxic and neuroprotective effects of different elements, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of their interaction with neuronal systems. Research in this area continues to uncover these elements’ specific mechanisms and potential therapeutic applications in protecting neural tissues. A better understanding of these mechanisms could lead to the development of new treatments for diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Comparative analysis of artificial intelligence chatbots in orthodontic emergency scenarios: ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4.0, Copilot, and Gemini
(EH Angle Education and Research Foundation, 2025) Erdem, Buket; Özcan, Mustafa; Şar, Çağla
Objectives To evaluate and compare the accuracy of four AI chatbots, ChatGPT-3.5, ChatGPT-4.0, Copilot, and Gemini, in response to orthodontic emergency scenarios. Materials and Methods Forty frequently asked questions related to orthodontic emergencies were posed to the chatbots. These questions were categorized as fixed orthodontic treatment, clear aligner treatment, eating and oral hygiene, pain and discomfort, general concerns, retention, and sports and travel. The responses were evaluated by three orthodontic experts using a five-point Likert scale, and statistical analysis was conducted to assess variations in accuracy across chatbots. Results Statistical analysis revealed significant differences among the chatbots. Gemini and ChatGPT-4.0 demonstrated the highest accuracy in response to orthodontic emergencies, followed by Copilot, whereas ChatGPT-3.5 had the lowest accuracy scores. Additionally, the “Fixed Orthodontic Treatment” category showed a statistically significant difference (P = .043), with Gemini outperforming the other chatbots in this category. However, no statistically significant differences were found in other categories. Conclusions AI chatbots show potential in providing immediate assistance for orthodontic emergencies, but their accuracy varies across different models and question categories.
Planetary research: A new diamond open access journal for planetary science
(2025) Attree, Nicholas; Crameri, Fabio; Broquet, Adrien; Seignovert, Benoît; Hatipoğlu, Güray; Solmaz, Arif; Wieczorek, Mark
Planetary Research is a new diamond open-access journal for the planetary sciences and is set to be launched in January 2026. Planetary Research will follow an alternative to the traditional model of commercial publishing: the diamond open access model, whereby the journal is run entirely by volunteers using free and open-source software, and owned by the community, through a non-profit association that has been set up in France (The Planetary Research Cooperative). This means that all articles published in Planetary Research will be available for free for both authors and readers, with no access, subscription, or submission processing charges, whilst the journal scope and principles are determined by the community through participation in the online forum and monthly meetings. Further opportunities for participation include open calls for the positions of editor-in chief, editors, associate editors, and members of the media team and technical team, with deadlines on July the 1st, 2025 (see https://planetary-research.org for details).
Senior nursing students' perspectives on nursing management: A qualitative study
(SAGE Publications, 2025) Aydoğdu, Ana Luiza Ferreira; Dişbudak, Büşra
Background Theoretical and practical classes in nursing management are part of nursing programmes; however, students often state a need for more preparation to apply leadership and management skills in clinical settings, highlighting the need for innovative educational approaches. This gap between theoretical preparation and the practical application of leadership and management skills underscores the importance of understanding students’ views on what constitutes effective nurse management. Aim This study aimed to explore final-year nursing students’ perspectives on the essential skills, practice and attitudes that nurse managers should demonstrate. Methods This is a descriptive qualitative study. It comprises written narratives of 35 senior undergraduate nursing students. Data were collected between 23 November 2023, and 4 December 2023. Descriptive thematic analysis was undertaken. Results Five themes were identified: (1) What makes a successful nurse manager, (2) Perspectives on effective leadership in nursing, (3) Fostering empowerment in the nursing team, (4) Building and strengthening team cohesion in nursing and (5) Effective care delivery models. Students believe nurse managers should take on a more effective leadership role. Conclusions Nursing students’ reflections can be utilised to update nursing curricula, to improve student leadership and managerial knowledge and skills as they enter the workforce.
The image of the Turk and oriental discourse in panait istrati’s Kyra Kyralina and Ivo Andrić’s the bridge on the drina
(Brill, 2024) Talay, Haluk İhsan; Griffith, James
In its historical context, the image of the Turk—which presents itself along with the histories, memories and stories throughout Central Europe as well as the Balkans— evolved significantly, owing much to the fact that these regions were and still are inhabited by people of various ethnicities, religions, and cultural structures, and were often focal points of crucial political changes and social developments, including the emergence of the Muslim population amongst the native Orthodox population of the Balkans. Kyra Kyralina and The Bridge on the Drina are works that focus on the condi tion of the Balkans, a region ruled by numerous empires, while using the both histori cal and mythological image of the Turk. This chapter aims to analyze and criticize the stories and memories in these works, specifically in the light of Andre Gingrich’s theory of frontier Orientalism, which largely focuses on the Orientalism observed and understood by the people who are/ were members of the nations placed between and on the borders of the Occident and the Orient. Additionally, this chapter will compare and contrast the different perspec tives on and ideas of the image of the Turk in the novels while analyzing the frontier condition represented by the themes and characters of the works. This image (and the differences between its variations) is emphasized and underlined within the scope of Joep Leerssen’s Imagology and MacMillan’s Images of the Turk in Europe. As is the case with most cultural images, the image of the Turk varies significantly, both in Kyra Kyralina and The Bridge on the Drina.
