On the topological indices of a generalized graph family used in number-theoretic graph realizations
(Vertex Academic Press, 2026) Demir, Bilal; Sarp, Ümit; Emin, Ahmet
Abstract. In this paper, we study the topological properties of a generalized graph family, constructed by attaching loops to the vertices of a path
graph. This family generalizes several graph structures that are used in the
literature for realizing graph degree sequences based on number-theoretic sequences. We derive exact general formulas for various degree-based topological
indices, including the first and second Zagreb indices, the Randic index, and
the Harmonic index for this general family. As an application, we use these
formulas to derive several new or known identities for Fibonacci and Lucas
numbers by applying them to the known realizations of Fibonacci and Lucas
graphs. Furthermore, we show that the ratio of these indices asymptotically
converges to the cube of the Golden Ratio.
Performance-based material selection in future housing: A Mediterranean climate case
(EDP Sciences, 2026) Ünlütürk, Mustafa Serhan; Özlük, Resul
Designers constantly develop materials with different technical properties to provide optimumindoor comfort conditions with minimum energy consumption. Ensuring indoor thermal comfort
conditions in residential buildings, where people spend a significant portion of their time, is a challenge
that must be addressed. In recent years, the climate crisis (CC) has caused temperatures to rise, particularly
in warm climate regions. The study proposes a computational framework for a residential model that
demonstrates optimal thermal performance for at least 50 years in hot climate regions affected by the CC.
Within the scope of the study's objective, it primarily focuses on a residential building in Balıkesir that
exhibits the characteristics of the Mediterranean climate type (CSA), a hot climate type. Honeybee
performed energy simulations for the residential building under current climate conditions and a 2080
weather scenario generated by Meteonorm. The results showed that the building's energy consumption
would increase by 12% in 2080. Within this scope, the study optimised the residential building envelope
and interior design parameters. Furthermore, the study aimed to compare the effectiveness of the Genetic
Algorithm (GA), frequently used in architectural design problems in the literature, with different
algorithms by employing the GA and the RbfOpt algorithm.
Polychromatic photobiomodulation accelerates diabetic wound repair via pro-angiogenic and anti-inflammatory mechanisms
(Elsevier B.V., 2026) Sarıkaya, Burcu; Çetin, Furkan Batuhan; Kaplanoğlu, Gülnur Take; Gümüşderelioğlu, Menemşe
This study aimed to evaluate the histological and molecular effects of polychromatic photobiomodulation (PBM,
600–1200 nm), delivered at varying treatment frequencies, on wound healing in a streptozotocin (STZ)-induced
diabetic rat model. To minimize inter-subject variability, three full-thickness excisional wounds were created on
the dorsum of each diabetic rat and assigned to one of three groups: untreated Negative Control (NC), once-daily
PBM (PBM1), or twice-daily PBM (PBM2). Treatments were administered using a polychromatic light source
(600–1200 nm) placed 30 cm away from the wounds at an irradiance of 0.038 W/cm² with escalating fluences
over a six-day period. Skin samples were harvested on Days 7 and 14 post-wounding and analyzed using Masson’s Trichrome staining and immunohistochemistry for VEGF, VEGFR2, TGF-β, TGF-βR2, CD163, and TNF-α.
The PBM2 regimen significantly enhanced re-epithelialization, collagen deposition, and angiogenesis compared
to both PBM1 and untreated controls. Immunohistochemical analysis demonstrated early and pronounced
expression of VEGF and CD163, along with sustained activation of TGF-βR2 in the PBM2 group. TNF-α expression
was significantly reduced, particularly in the PBM2-treated wounds, suggesting accelerated resolution of
inflammation and enhanced M2 macrophage polarization. Masson’s Trichrome staining further confirmed the
presence of denser and more organized collagen fibers in PBM2-treated wounds. Collectively, these findings
indicate that twice-daily polychromatic PBM facilitates diabetic wound healing through synergistic proangiogenic, anti-inflammatory, and fibroproliferative pathways. This study supports the further optimization
of PBM protocols for the effective management of chronic wounds.
Post-disaster permanent housing and life satisfaction in Van, Turkey: Impacts of housing satisfaction, socioeconomic and demographic factors
(Elsevier, 2026) Uğurlar, Aysu; Alkan Gökler, Leyla; Çenesiz, Gaye Zeynep
This study investigates the factors influencing life satisfaction among residents of post-disaster permanent
housing in Van, Turkey, following the 2011 earthquake. Data were collected through a survey of 382 households
across five districts, examining socioeconomic factors, housing satisfaction, and their impact on overall life
satisfaction. Multiple regression analysis revealed that income, satisfactions from housing attributes, neighborhood characteristics and social activities, and demographic factors significantly influence residents’ life satisfaction. Households facing fewer difficulties meeting housing expenditures reported higher levels of life
satisfaction. The study highlights that both objective housing attributes, such as housing quality, and subjective
perceptions, such as neighborhood satisfaction and sense of community, significantly influence residents’ overall
life satisfaction. These findings, consistent with existing research, underscore the importance of addressing socioeconomic disparities and improving housing quality to enhance residents’ well-being. The study emphasizes
the need to incorporate residents’ needs and preferences into post-disaster permanent housing policies to promote successful resettlement and ensure the long-term well-being of disaster-affected communities.
Komplo teorilerine inanmanın temelleri: nesne ilişkileri ve ahlaki uzaklaşma etkisi
(Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, 2026) Şenyurt, Ahmet Yasin; Adatepe, Gizem
Bu çalışma; nesne ilişkileri, ahlaki uzaklaşma ve komplo teorilerine olan inanç arasındaki ilişkileri
incelemeyi ve ahlaki uzaklaşmanın bu süreçteki aracı rolünü test etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Nesne
ilişkileri kuramı, erken dönem bağlanma deneyimlerinin bireyin dünyayı algılayışını ve ahlaki
değerlerini şekillendirdiğini savunur. Ahlaki uzaklaşma, etik dışı davranışları meşrulaştıran bilişsel
mekanizmaları; komplo teorileri ise olayların gizli ve kötü niyetli gruplarca yönetildiğine dair inançları
ifade eder. Kartopu örnekleme yöntemiyle Türkiye genelinden ulaşılan 434 katılımcıdan; Bell Nesne
İlişkileri Envanteri, Genel Komplo İnançları Ölçeği ve Ahlaki Uzaklaşma Ölçeği aracılığıyla veri
toplanmıştır. JAMOVI yazılımı ile yapılan analizler; nesne ilişkilerinin alt boyutları, ahlaki uzaklaşma
ve komplo inançları arasında anlamlı pozitif ilişkiler olduğunu göstermiştir. Bulgular, ahlaki
uzaklaşmanın, benmerkezciliğin tüm komplo inancı boyutları üzerindeki etkisinde aracı rol
oynadığını ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca, güvensiz bağlanmanın gizli güçlere olan inancı pozitif yönde
yordadığı saptanmıştır. Bu sonuçlar, benmerkezci eğilimleri olan bireylerin, ahlaki sorumluluğu
dışsallaştırarak komplo inançlarını rasyonalize edebildiklerini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, güvensiz
bağlanma örüntülerinin dünyayı tehdit edici ve kontrol edilemez bir yer olarak algılamaya katkıda
bulunarak gizli güçlere olan inancı artırdığı değerlendirilebilir. Bu çalışma, komplo teorilerinin
psikolojik kökenlerini anlamada erken dönem ilişkisel örüntülerin ve ahlaki bilişsel süreçlerin
önemini vurgulamaktadır.
