  Dijital dönüşüm süreci, yükseköğretimde kalite güvence sistemlerinin yalnızca akademik çıktılarla sınırlı kalmamasını, toplumsal etkiyi de kapsayan bütüncül bir yaklaşıma dönüştürmesini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Öğrencilerin toplum yararına geliştirdikleri projeler kalite güvencesi açısından kritik, ancak çoğu zaman sistematik olarak ölçülemeyen bir boyut oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma, yükseköğretimde kalite güvence süreçlerini güçlendirmek amacıyla Yapay Zekâ “Destekli Toplumsal Katkı Temelli Kalite Güvence Modeli” sayılabilecek ve 23 yıldır uluslararası bağlamda devam eden bir bilişim projesini önermektedir. Model, PUKÖ Felsefesine dayalı olarak işleyen ve 2005 Türkiye Yaratıcı Kalkınma Fikirleri Yarışması'nda Dünya Bankası tarafından ödüllendirilen "İmece Halkaları" modeliyle yürütülmekte olup 22 yılda 530 ulusal ve uluslararası projeye rehberlik ederek kalite odaklı bir dünya projesi olarak yoluna devam etmektedir. Türkiye'den katılan ekiplerin yanında Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, Birleşik Krallık, Hindistan, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Güney Afrika, Tayland ve KKTC'den de ekipler projeye katılarak çeşitli ödüller almışlardır. Retrospektif analizde, 2024-2025 akademik yılında İstanbul Kent Üniversitesi'nde planlanan “CyberPaw Projesi” örnek olay olarak incelenmekte; ayrıca 2025-2026 döneminde çalışılmaya başlanan bir Cezayir, bir de Türk üniversite projesi öngörüsel uygulama alanı olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Model kapsamında öğrencilerin projeye katılım düzeyleri, toplumsal etki ölçümleri ve öğrenme çıktıları yapay zekâ destekli sistemler ile analiz edilmekte; süreçte insan denetimi, motivasyon düzeyi, etik ve şeffaflık ilkeleri gözetilmektedir. İncelenen proje planları ve değerlendirme belgeleri, öğrenci katılımı, iş birliği, problem çözme ve toplumsal katkının kalite güvencesi kapsamında sistematik olarak izlenmesine yönelik bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Modelin öğrenme çıktıları ve toplumsal etkileri, projelerin uygulama ve değerlendirme süreçleri tamamlandığında daha kapsamlı biçimde incelenebilecektir. Önerilen proje modeli, yapay zekâ destekli kalite güvencesinin yalnızca performans izlemenin ötesinde, toplumsal değer üretimini destekleyen, ekip ruhunu geliştiren ve diğer ülkelerden katılan ekiplerle iletişimi ve iş birliğini mümkün kılan, sürdürülebilir bir sistem olarak yeniden tanımlanmasına katkı sunmaktadır.

  Post-arthroscopic rotator cuff repair pain is common and can be influenced by psychological factors such as pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, and kinesiophobia. Pain Neuroscience Education is a treatment strategy that helps patients understand the factors influencing pain beliefs and behaviors, aiming to change maladaptive thoughts, such as pain catastrophizing, and improve their understanding of chronic pain. The purpose of this review was to examine studies that have applied Pain Neuroscience Education after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and to determine and summarize the effectiveness of this training in improving pain and disability. A literature search was conducted in PubMed, PEDro, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases to identify clinical studies on arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Eligible clinical studies investigating the effects of Pain Neuroscience Education on pain and disability after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair were identified from the above databases and a narrative review was performed. According to the findings of the studies, Pain Neuroscience Education has been shown to provide similar improvements in pain and disability compared to biomedical education or standard rehabilitation. However, one study reported a significant improvement of Pain Neuroscience Education pain in movement compared to biomedical education. It appears that the results of Pain Neuroscience Education regarding pain do not show significant advantages over biomedical education or standard rehabilitation, the outcomes related to disability are more promising. Confirming the results requires further studies with larger sample sizes. Additionally, future research should establish the optimal dosage, content, and duration of Pain Neuroscience Education.

  Objectives. This study evaluated, for the first time, the radiation exposure of dentists examining thyroid cancer patients following radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy. Study Design. External dose-rate measurements were performed at distances of 5 100 cm in 93 differentiated thyroid carcinoma(DTC) patients between Days 1 and 7 after discharge. Patients were classified according to administered RAI activity as Group I (1110 2775MBq,n=31)and Group II (3700 7400MBq,n=62). Measurements were obtained in the anterior oblique position with patients seated upright to simulate dental examination conditions. Results. In Group I, the cumulative radiation dose potentially received by a dentist was 461.75 mSv on Day 1 after discharge, decreasing to 112 mSv and 92 mSv on Days 2 and 3, respectively. In Group II, cumulative doses on Days 1 4 after discharge were 1148 mSv, 447 mSv, 73 mSv, and 37 mSv, respectively. Conclusions. The findings indicate that patients receiving <3700 MBq RAI may safely undergo dental examination approximately 24 26 hours after discharge with appropriate radiation protection precautions, whereas dental treatment in patients receiving 3700 MBq RAI should preferably be postponed for at least 48 hours to maintain occupational exposure below the 1 mSv public dose limit.

  BACKGROUND Food insecurity may intersect with sustainable eating, eco-anxiety, and subjective well-being, but evidence among dietitians is limited. This cross-sectional study examined these associations among 2027 nutrition and dietetics students recruited through multicenter departmental networks in Türkiye. Participants completed the Sustainable and Healthy Eating Behaviors Scale, Adult Food Security Survey Module, Ecological Anxiety Scale, and Contentment with Life Assessment Scale. Group comparisons, Spearman correlations, and sequential multivariable linear regression were used. RESULTS Overall, 1381 students (68.1%) were food secure and 646 (31.9%) were food insecure. Compared with food-secure students, food-insecure students had lower sustainable and healthy eating behavior scores [3.93 (3.11–4.53) vs. 4.09 (3.48–4.74); |rrb| = 0.132], higher ecological anxiety [16.50 (13.00–22.00) vs. 13.00 (8.00–17.00); |rrb| = 0.321], and lower life contentment [19.00 (16.00–22.00) vs. 22.00 (19.00–26.00); |rrb| = 0.422] (all P < 0.001). In fully adjusted models, higher food insecurity scores were associated with lower sustainable and healthy eating scores (beta = −0.073, P = 0.002), higher ecological anxiety (beta = 0.279, P < 0.001), and lower life contentment (beta = −0.305, P < 0.001); adjusted R-squared values were 0.040, 0.093, and 0.128, respectively. CONCLUSION Food insecurity was associated with less favorable sustainable and healthy eating behaviors, greater eco-anxiety, and lower life contentment among nutrition and dietetics students. Effect sizes ranged from small to moderate, and the cross-sectional design does not permit causal inference.

  Psychometric evaluations of the Short Dark Tetrad (SD4; [33]) have been conducted predominantly in Western samples, and the limited evidence from non-WEIRD contexts has yielded inconsistent findings regarding its factor structure. The only prior Turkish adaptation reported that seven items did not function adequately and were removed following exploratory factor analysis, leaving open whether this reflected genuine cultural unsuitability or methodological choices in the analysis of ordinal data. The present study re-examined the SD4 in a community sample of 417 Turkish adults (54.4% female,Mage = 30.4, SD = 12.5) using confirmatory factor analysis with the WLSMV estimator and polychoric correlations, the approach recommended for ordinal Likert data. At the item level, only one item (m1, “It is not wise to let people know your secrets”) showed a substantive problem (standardized loading = .14, with cross-loadings on Psychopathy and Sadism). The six remaining items removed by Aytaç [1] performed adequately in the present sample (loadings = .53–.74). A 27-item correlated four-factor model excluding m1 showed acceptable fit (CFI = .913, TLI = .904, RMSEA = .069 [.064, .074], SRMR = .070) and outperformed a unidimensional model. Multi-group analyses across gender supported configural, threshold (weak), and thresholdplus-loading (strong) invariance (all ΔCFI ≤ .005). Convergent validity was demonstrated through theoretically expected associations with the NPI-13, MPS, LSRP, and Violence Tendency Scale (r = .40–.69). Men scored higher than women on all four traits; effect sizes ranged from small for Narcissism (η2p = .010) to moderate–large for Sadism (η2p = .115, Cohen’s d = 0.72). The findings indicate that the original SD4 structure is largely retained in Turkish samples when ordinal-appropriate estimation is used, with Sadism emerging as the most strongly genderdifferentiated trait.
