GIS-Based Monitoring of Urban Utility Excavations for Permit Compliance and Pavement Management in Smart Cities
(NATURE PORTFOLIO, HEIDELBERGER PLATZ 3, BERLIN 14197, GERMANY, 2026) Apak, Mustafa Yurdabal
Real-time compliance monitoring of urban utility excavations remains challenging in digital construction, pavement management, and infrastructure governance. This study presents a pilot feld evaluation of a Geographic Information System–based Pavement and Infrastructure Monitoring System (GIS-PIMS) for permit verifcation, utility-proximity monitoring, and pavement management support. The framework integrates multi-sensor excavation-activity detection, GNSS-based equipment tracking, GIS-defned permit corridors, underground utility layers, and rule-based alarm logic. Field testing at three urban excavation sites used 30 paired observations comparing the tracking device with survey-grade RTK-GNSS reference measurements. The tracking unit showed a mean horizontal deviation of 6.82 m and an RMSE of 7.41 m. Under the tested 20 m-wide permit corridor, rule-based alarm classifcation achieved 96.7% accuracy. The fndings support pilot-scale feasibility for spatial compliance screening, precautionary near-utility warning, and pavement reinstatement planning. Larger datasets, diverse equipment and urban conditions, and longer-term evaluation of communication reliability are required before citywide deployment.
Periodontal Mechanoreceptor Contribution to Minimal Holding Force Between Incisor Teeth
(WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ, 2026) Oğuz, Elif Ezgi; Özlü Uçan, Gülfem; Karakış Akcan, Serap; Mihmanlı, Ahmet; Çetinkaya, Nursuna Büşra; Weisskircher, Hans-Werner; Yıldız, Nilgün; Karacan, İlhan; Türker, Kemal Sıtkı
Background: The functional importance of periodontal mechanoreceptors (PMRs) is highlighted by impaired force control when periodontal input is reduced or absent. Previous studies used handheld transducers to measure the minimum holding force between the incisors. In the present study, a high-resolution force transducer was held passively between the incisors against gravity. Objective: To quantify the contribution of anterior PMRs to minimum holding force and examine the effects of body position and periodontal health. Methods: Twenty healthy adults (12 females, 8 males; 23.2±1.9 years) participated in this repeated-measures study. A lightweight FlexiForce transducer was positioned passively between the incisors and held against gravity. Minimum holding force was measured in sitting and prone positions before and after local anaesthesia (LA) of the incisors. Data were analysed using linear mixed models and correlation analyses. Results: Mean minimum holding force in the sitting position increased from 0.63N to 1.87N following LA. In comparison, prone values increased from 1.23N to 2.63N. Significant main effects were observed for position (p=0.027) and LA (p=0.036), with no interaction effect (p=0.848). Periodontal health was significantly associated with holding force only when LA was present (R2=0.234, p=0.031). Conclusion: Reduced periodontal sensory input from the anterior dentition may impair early detection of food properties, potentially compromising feedforward control during mastication. These findings highlight the functional importance of periodontal integrity and the need to retain healthy teeth in restorative and orthodontic treatment planning.

Abdülkadir GAYRETLİ İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Mütevelli Heyeti Başkanı & PRESIDENT’S PREFACE The Black Sea and Caspian Basin stands out as one of the regions where strategic competition, economic cooperation initiatives, and security debates most intensely intersect in the contemporary international system. With its energy resources, transportation corridors, trade routes, security balances, and historical ties, this basin constitutes a geopolitical space closely followed not only by the countries of the region, but also by global actors. The transformation of the security architecture in the Black Sea, the growing importance of energy and transportation routes around the Caspian, political changes in the Caucasus, migration movements, regional crises, and new quests for cooperation all make it necessary to examine this area from a multidimensional perspective. Türkiye, with its historical depth, geographical position, identity as a Black Sea littoral state, relations with the Caspian Basin and the Turkic world, and central role in energy and transportation projects, is one of the natural and active actors of this basin. In this context, understanding the Black Sea and Caspian Basin means not only following current developments, but also assessing the future regional order, searches for stability, and opportunities for common development. As Istanbul Gelisim University, we attach importance not only to education and teaching activities, but also to being a higher education institution that supports scientific research, international academic cooperation, and intellectual platforms addressing regional issues. In line with this understanding, the International Symposium on the Countries of the Black Sea and Caspian Basin has been a valuable scientific event that enabled regional developments to be discussed on an academic basis. The symposium, held at Istanbul Gelisim University on 15 October 2025, was organized by the Istanbul Gelisim University Political and Social Research Application and Research Center, hosted by Istanbul Gelisim University, and held in cooperation with Istanbul Beykent University. By addressing numerous issues such as stability, security, politics, economy, society, culture, migration, democratization, human rights, and regional cooperation in the Black Sea and Caspian Basin from different perspectives, the symposium produced a significant academic accumulation. This proceedings book is also valuable in that it transforms the studies presented at the symposium into a permanent scientific record. This work is not only an academic output of the symposium, but also an important reference source for researchers, students, experts, and policymakers who are interested in discussions on the Black Sea and Caspian Basin. On this occasion, I would like to express my gratitude to Prof. Dr. Bahri ŞAHİN, Rector of Istanbul Gelisim University; Dr. Erkan ÇELİK, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Istanbul Beykent University; Prof. Dr. Volkan ÖNGEL, Rector of Istanbul Beykent University; Prof. Dr. Kenan AYDIN, Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Administrative and Social Sciences; and the academic coordinators of the symposium, Prof. Dr. Şenol DURGUN, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Kemal OLÇAR, and Asst. Prof. Dr. Emre GÜNDOĞDU. I would also like to extend my sincere thanks to IGUSAM, Istanbul Beykent University, the organizing committee, the secretariat, all colleagues who contributed to the administrative and academic processes, and all participants who enriched the symposium with their scientific contributions.

Development of Design Guidelines for Virtual Learning Environments in Online VR Platforms
(Mehmet Akif Ocak, Bosna Building, Room: 430, Ankara 0000, Turkiye, 2026) Kurtuluş, Minel; Tekin, Çiğdem
Background: The transition from physical classrooms to virtual environments requires rethinking learning spaces in both spatial and pedagogical terms. This shift involves not only a change in setting but also a reconfiguration of learning experiences and habits. Despite shared goals of effective learning, physical and virtual classrooms differ significantly in qualitative aspects. The absence of legal regulations and the dominance of non-architect professionals in designing virtual environments highlight a major gap in achieving standardized and high-quality educational spaces. Objectives: This study aims to develop a comprehensive design guide for virtual learning environments within online virtual reality (VR) platforms, with the objectives of enhancing e-learning quality, fostering interactive educational experiences, and establishing criteria for how virtual environments should be designed to support effective learning. Methodology: Four virtual reality (VR) platforms—Mozilla Hubs, Engage, Meta Horizon, and MeetinVR—were selected as experimental settings. On each platform, participants attended as listeners a 30 -minute theoretical lecture on architecture, material use, and the Industrial Revolution, ensuring consistent educational content across all environments. The study involved 20 participants—10 interior architecture students and 10 faculty members from the Istanbul Gelişim University Interior Architecture Department. A two-hour orientation session was conducted to familiarize participants with the VR headsets and controllers before the experiment. Afterwards, each participant completed a total of 120 minutes of immersive virtual education. Following the sessions, participants filled out structured questionnaires and open-ended feedback forms assessing material, texture, lighting, form, color, size, and scale. The collected data were analyzed using IBM SPSS and MAXQDA to evaluate spatial perception and user experience. Findings: Results show that design elements of VR-based learning spaces directly affect user perception and satisfaction. Material, lighting, and scale notably enhance realism and educational effectiveness. The study provides practical recommendations for user-centered design in VR-supported learning environments, contributing to the development of virtual educational spaces in interior architecture education.
Modern Approach of Resilient and Sustainable Smart Cities Conclusion
(SPRINGER INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING AG, GEWERBESTRASSE 11, CHAM, CH-6330, SWITZERLAND, 2026) Yorucu, Vedat; Bekun, Festus Victor; Yitmen, İbrahim
The quest for smart city development is gaining momentum globally. This is especially true for countries that are scientifically and environmentally sophisticated. This chapter explores overviews of smart cities, origins, importance, elements, issues, and future directions. The chapter sets the scene by putting urbanization from the Second Industrial Revolution to the present from a context regarding the development of the human population and innovation. Therefore, the setting for the emergence of smart cities is linked to this historical foundation and the fact that urban issues have increasingly become more complex, with climate change, infrastructure needs, and economic disparities as the embodiment.
