How Do Resource Efficiency and Environmental Innovation Affect Greenhouse Gas Emissions? Evidence From E-7 Countries
(WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ, 2025) Bozkaya, Şeyma; Duran, Feride; Bekun, Festus Victor
This study investigates the determinants of environmental quality in China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Turkey, and Indonesia
(E-7 countries) using annual frequency data from 1990 to 2019. Feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) is used, while
panel corrected standard error estimator (PCSE) is employed as a control estimator. The dependent variable representing
the environmental quality indicator is greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Furthermore, the analysis includes following five
variables that are assumed to determine environmental quality: (i) resource efficiency; (ii) renewable energy consumption (REC);
(iii) growth; (iv) environmental technologies; and (v) energy efficiency. In the estimated model, GHG is used to represent
environmental pollution. Conversely, the independent variables are mostly environmentally friendly variables. The results reveal
that GDP, REC, and environmental technologies increase GHG emissions, while resource efficiency and energy efficiency have
a positive effect on environmental quality. These findings suggest that, in shaping their environmental policies, E-7 countries
consider economic growth, environmental protection, and sustainability. The study concludes with a discussion of further policy
insights.
Bridging Educational Research and Teacher Performance: Multiple Mediation Analysis of Professional Development and Teacher Leadership
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD,2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OX14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND, 2025) Özgenel, Mustafa; Yalçın, Elif; Yazıcı, Şebnem; Taktak, Mustafa; Uysal, Orhan Kadir; Asmaz, Adem; Aydoğan, İlker
This study explores the mediating roles of professional development and teacher leadership in the relationship between educational research and teacher performance. Data from 465 Turkish teachers were analyzed using a multiple mediation model. Results show that educational research positively influences teacher performance directly and indirectly through professional development and leadership, enhancing overall performance. Significant connections between educational research, professional development, and leadership are highlighted. The findings suggest that integrating educational research with teacher development and leadership can improve teacher performance, providing valuable insights for educational leaders and policymakers focused on enhancing teacher effectiveness.
Psychological Impact of COVID-19: Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Fear of Illness and Virus Evaluation(FIVE) Scale
(AVES, BUYUKDERE CAD 105-9, MECIDIYEKOY, SISLI, ISTANBUL 34394, Turkiye, 2025) Kılınçel, Oğuzhan; Çelikbaş, Zekiye; Batmaz, Sedat
Background: During the Coronavirus disease-2019 pandemic, various scales were developed to assess mental health issues linked to the virus. This study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Fear of Illness and Virus Evaluation (FIVE)-Adult Report Form (ARF). Methods: Individuals aged 18 and above who consented to participate were given access to the questionnaire after being informed about the study’s objectives. Authorization for the translation was obtained from the original form’s creator. Results: A total of 466 participants took part in the study. The explanatory factor analysis revealed that items 1-9 assessed fears related to contamination and illness, items 10-19 focused on fears concerning social distancing, and items 20-33 addressed behaviors associated with fears of disease and viruses. Items 34 and 35, which measured the impact of illness and virus fears, were found to load onto the factor related to fears of contamination and illness. The scale explained 44.5% of the total variance. The internal consistency reliability coefcients were 0.902 for the contamination and illness fears subscale, 0.905 for the social distancing fears subscale, 0.777 for behaviors related to illness and virus fears, and 0.916 for the scale. Conclusion: The fndings indicate that the Turkish adaptation of the FIVE-ARF has a 3-factor structure and demonstrates strong validity and reliability for use within the Turkish population.
Disproportionate Short Stature in Nail Patella Syndrome: Clinical, Radiological, and Genetic Insights
(EMERGENCY MEDICINE PHYSICIANS ASSOC TURKEY, YUKARI AYRANCI GÜLERYUZ SK NO 26-19, ANKARA, CANKAYA 06550, Turkiye, 2025) Yaşartekin, Yüksel; Dirican, Onur; Husseini, Abbas Ali; Buluş, Ayşe Derya; Işın, Uğur Ufuk; Ergün, Mehmet Ali
This case report presents an 11-year-old male with disproportionate short stature as a rare manifestation of Nail Patella Syndrome (NPS). NPS is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by mutations in the LMX1B gene and is typically characterized by nail dysplasia, skeletal anomalies, and renal complications. The patient exhibited classical features of NPS, including dysmorphic traits, nail abnormalities, and radiological evidence of patellar aplasia and iliac horns. Genetic analysis identified a p.Arg221Ter pathogenic variant in LMX1B, confirming the diagnosis. Importantly, comprehensive evaluations excluded endocrine, renal, and systemic causes for short stature, suggesting it as a direct, albeit uncommon, feature of NPS. This case underscores the importance of genetic testing in diagnosing atypical presentations and highlights the need for tailored management, including regular monitoring for renal and ophthalmological complications. By documenting short stature in NPS, this report expands its clinical spectrum, contributing valuable insights to the understanding of this complex condition.Keywords: Chronic pancreatitis, complication, ductal rupture
Gender diversity in endodontics: Women's representation at recent biennial meetings
(WILEY, 111 RIVER ST, HOBOKEN 07030-5774, NJ, 2025) Karadayı, Ayşe; Baştürk, Fatıma Betül
Aim: Leadership opportunities within professional fields often include invitations to speak at major organizational meetings. However, the representation of speakers from underrepresented groups at annual scientific meetings of endodontic organizations has yet to be documented. This observational study aimed to evaluate the percentage of women invited to speak at selected endodontic organization meetings. Methodology: The number of male and female keynote or invited speakers at the European Society of Endodontology (ESE), Asian Pacific Endodontic Confederation (APEC), and International Federation of Endodontic Associations (IFEA) conferences from 2013 to 2023 were recorded. A chi-square test was conducted to assess differences in the percentage of women speakers over time and among the three organizations. Results: A total of 714 keynote and invited speakers from the scientific meetings of the three endodontic organizations between 2013 and 2023 met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 601 (84.17%) were men, and 113 (15.83%) were women, reflecting a significant gender disparity (p<0.001). No significant differences were observed between the organizations, nor was there a significant change in the number of
women speakers over time.Conclusions: Regardless of the organization or the timeframe, the number of women speakers at scientific meetings remains consistently lower than that of men, with no significant change observed over the past decade.
