Association of health-promoting behaviors with oral health status among Turkish dental students: A cross-sectional study
(Springer Nature Link, 2026) Ballı Akgöl, Beyza; Bayram, Merve; Üstün, Nilüfer; Aksaka, Nurcan
Background: Oral health is an essential component of overall well-being, and dentistry students are expected to model healthy behaviors. However, their lifestyle habits may not always reflect this role. This study explores the relationship between oral health status and health-promoting behaviors among fourth-year dental students. While the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) has been widely applied, its use alongside objective oral health indices in this population remains limited. Methods: This cross-sectional study assessed health-promoting behaviors using the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP II) and evaluated oral health status using clinical indices, including Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth (DMFT) index, Gingival Index (GI), and Plaque Index (PI), among fourth-year dental students. Results: Students with better gingival health exhibited higher overall health-promoting lifestyle scores, particularly in the domains of nutrition and health responsibility. Similarly, participants with better plaque control demonstrated more favorable stress management behaviors. In addition, weak inverse associations were observed between dental caries experience and spiritual growth, as well as between plaque accumulation and overall health-promoting lifestyle behaviors. Conclusion: This study revealed significant links between key health promoting lifestyle domains—nutrition, stress management, and health responsibility—and oral health indicators. These findings underscore the need to integrate structured health promotion modules into dental curricula to improve students’ well-being and clinical competence.

The integration of spirituality into counseling has gained increased attention due to its significant impact on psychological well-being. However, mental health profes sionals often face challenges with incorporating spiritual dimensions into therapy, primarily due to inadequate training, conceptual ambiguity, and ethical concerns. This qualitative phenomenological study aims to explore mental health profession als’ perspectives on addressing spirituality in counseling and to assess the necessity of a specialized training program to enhance competencies in this area. We used cri terion sampling to select 11 experienced psychologists, counselors, and academics to, conduct semi-structured interviews, and analyze the data using descriptive analy sis to identify the key themes related to integrating spirituality into counseling. The findings reveal that the current training curricula does not adequately cover spir ituality, which has led to a lack of confidence among mental health professionals. The participants highlighted several barriers, including professional hesitancy, ethi cal concerns, clients’ misunderstandings, and the dominance of secular educational models. Additionally, the study identified the specific competencies needed for inte grating spirituality into counseling and categorized them into knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The professionals emphasized the need for a structured training program that includes conceptual knowledge about spirituality, evidence-based intervention techniques, ethical considerations, and culturally sensitive approaches. Furthermore, recommendations were made regarding the content, format, and evaluation methods for such a training module. The study underscores the urgent need for standardized training to equip mental health professionals with the skills required to address spir ituality in an ethical and culturally competent manner.
Experimental and thermodynamic analyses of a two-stroke UAV engine operated with gasoline–methanol blends
(Elsevier, 2026) Tunçer, Erdal
This study delineates experimental investigations and thermodynamic analyses conducted on a two-cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled engine-standard for uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs)-oper ated with various gasoline–methanol fuel blends. Performance and emission metrics were ob tained at five thrust levels (5, 10, 15, 20, and 26 kg) utilizing five distinct fuel blends (M0, M10, M20, M30, and M40). The acquired data facilitated comprehensive evaluations of energy, exergy, and sustainability. At lower thrust levels, the minimal fuel consumption was observed with M0; at higher thrust levels, the minimum was recorded with M40. An increase in the methanol content within the fuel blends resulted in a notable reduction in CO2 emissions; for instance, at a thrust of 26 kg, CO2 emissions were 5.65% for M0 and 3.91% for M40. The highest efficiencies in terms of energy and exergy were achieved at a thrust of 15 kg across all fuel blends. Correspondingly, the maximum sustainability index was determined to be 1.39 for M40 at a thrust of 15 kg.
