From Formal References to Architectural Form and Meaning: A Transformation-Based Framework for Analysing Reference-Driven Design
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026) Akkam, Mehmet Sair; Yılmaz, Ezgi
This study investigates how formal references are transformed into architectural form and meaning. While previous studies have acknowledged the diversity of source domains in architecture, they often remain fragmented and lack a systematic framework that explains how such references are operated upon during design. This gap limits the ability to dis tinguish between the literal replication of recognizable forms and the deeper transforma tion of their conceptual, structural, and symbolic properties. In response, this research develops a Transformation Based Formal Reference Framework (TFRF) that traces formal reference through six stages—source, interpretation, abstraction, transformation, architec tural expression, and meaning production—with a feedback loop from received meaning back to interpretation. The contribution is therefore not a new classification of sources; classification by source domain (living organisms, cosmos and geographical formations, language, belief systems, precedent architecture, and human made products) is retained only as the entry point of the process. Thirty one architectural cases, selected through pur posive sampling and independently double coded (κ = 0.75 for abstraction and κ = 0.86 for transfer), are positioned within a two dimensional matrix that crosses degree of abstraction (direct, analogy, abstraction) with type of transfer (form, structure, performance, symbol, space). The analysis suggests that source domain and transformation mechanism function as analytically distinct dimensions: one source can yield opposite mechanisms and distant sources can converge on the same one. The framework thereby reframes formal reference from a catalogue of inspirations into a navigable two axis design space, offering a trans ferable analytical framework for understanding how architectural references become form and meaning.
Non-Muslim Cemeteries as Multicultural Urban Heritage in Istanbul: The Case of the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2026) Fındıkgil, Meryem Müzeyyen; Ciritci, İlke; Yıldırım, Semih Göksel
This review examines non-Muslim cemeteries in Istanbul as multicultural urban heritage landscapes, using the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery as its principal case. Rather than treating cemeteries solely as religious or funerary spaces, it conceptualizes them as material archives of urban memory, minority presence, spatial displacement, and heritage governance. Drawing on a literature review, historical documentation, spatial mapping, and field observation, the article first traces the transformation of non-Muslim cemeteries from the Ottoman period to the Republican period, with particular attention to their relocation, disappearance, and reuse within processes of urban modernization. It then analyses the Feriköy Protestant Cemetery in terms of its establishment, multinational governance structure, architectural and funerary features, transferred memorial elements, digitisation practices, and conservation initiatives. The case illustrates the layered relationships among urban development, multicultural identity, and sustainable conservation. The article argues that Istanbul’s surviving non-Muslim cemeteries should be understood as living spaces of memory and cultural landscapes whose protection requires documentation, public awareness, and multi-actor heritage governance.
The Relationship of Temperament and Character with Substance Use
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Elli, Ünal Erdem
This review aims to synthesize the studies focusing on the relationship between the temperament and character dimensions of Cloninger’s Temperament and Character Inventory and substance abuse. A literature search including research articles, meta-analysis, and longitudinal studies was conducted. The findings from the included studies suggest the temperament trait of Novelty Seeking emerging as a consistent risk factor for initiation and sustaining of use of multiple types of substances. Latest research also points to gender and substance type – specific differences in personality profiles of women with opioid addiction compared to women with alcohol addiction. The combination of high Novelty Seeking and low Harm Avoidance, predicts earlier onset substance abuse with relatively worse prognosis. Amongst character dimensions, low Self-Directedness emerges as an important factor to understand transition from substance use to addiction. Neurobiological evidence suggests overlapping neural circuits that modulate both personality traits and drug reward in the mesocorticolimbic dopamine system. In conclusion, TCI offers a strong framework to understand individual proneness, to identify at-risk populations, to individualize treatment approaches, and to predict treatment outcomes. The incorporation of personality assessment into clinical practice may have significant value for prevention and treatment of substance use disorders.
The Role of Telerehabilitation-Based Exercises in the Management of Knee Osteoarthritis: A Narrative Review
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Kaya, Yaşar Sinan; Demirer, Hüsniye Merve
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a progressive disease characterized by joint cartilage degeneration, with prevalence increasing with age. This condition causes pain and reduces quality of life. Traditional face-toface rehabilitation may be limited by geographical and financial barriers. Telerehabilitation (TR) has emerged as a modern therapy method using digital platforms for remote exercise monitoring. This narrative review was conducted by searching PubMed and Google Scholar databases for studies published between 2010 and 2026 using keywords such as "knee osteoarthritis" and "telerehabilitation". Studies have shown that TR exercises may lead to reduced pain and improved joint function and quality of life. In conclusion, TR offers an effective treatment alternative, especially for those facing barriers to in-person care.
The Role of Nutrition Therapy in the Management of Chronic Pain
(İstanbul Gelişim Üniversitesi Yayınları / Istanbul Gelisim University Press, 2026) Berberoğlu, Hatice Tuğçe; Keser Gümüş, Muteber Gizem
Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting longer than three months or recurring in nature and is considered a major public health problem affecting millions of people worldwide. This condition, which significantly reduces quality of daily life and may lead to physical, psychological, and social problems, can negatively affect individuals' lives over the long term. Although the mechanisms underlying the development of chronic pain have not yet been fully understood, recent scientific studies suggest that certain biological processes may play a role in its development. Among these processes, oxidative stress, inflammation, increased body weight, and imbalance in gut microbiota (dysbiosis) are particularly prominent. Notably, most of these factors are closely associated with nutrition either directly or indirectly. Therefore, investigating the effects of nutrition on the development and severity of chronic pain may enable the development of nutrition-based approaches aimed at reducing pain. This review discusses the possible biological mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of chronic pain and examines the role and potential contributions of nutrition therapy in this process. Thus, the importance of nutrition as a complementary approach in the prevention and management of chronic pain is emphasized.
