Conference Object Zero Carbon Buildings: A Realistic Approach to Climate Adaptation(Springer International Publishing AG, 2026) Harputlugil, Gülsu UlukavakClimate change continues to be a priority on the agendas of countries and governments today. The approach to this issue can gain significant importance in parallel with the severity of the effects caused by the climate crisis in different regions of the world. To minimize the destruction that climate change will cause over the next 50 years, climate adaptation and mitigation strategies are among the leading strategies of all countries. At this point, it is evident that the decisions made within the framework of the Paris Climate Agreement and the annual United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP) meetings are extremely guiding and accurate. However, within the framework of these agreements, it is necessary to develop strategies that will ensure the adaptation of existing buildings, as well as new buildings, to achieve the 2050 targets defined for the building sector. This study will discuss strategies to minimize the impacts that buildings constructed in the past decade and those that will be constructed in the next decade will face as part of the existing building stock in 2050. There is a need to evaluate the measures that can be taken today to ensure that buildings constructed according to current regulations, which can be labelled as nearly zero-energy/carbon buildings, are resilient in the 2050 and 2080 scenarios. Within the framework of this study, 2050 and 2080 climate scenarios will be examined, and suggestions will be presented by discussing how adaptable building stock can be achieved in terms of resilience.Article Navigating Fear and Recklessness: Lawyers’ Perspectives on Courageous Client Behaviours in the Rights-Seeking Process(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Sert, Ozgur; Kılıç, Tamer; Mert, Ibrahim Sani; Bayramoğlu, GökbenCourage is often central to rights seeking. Drawing on Aristotelian virtue ethics and socio-psychological perspectives, this qualitative study examines how Turkish lawyers interpret and manage clients' courage, from cowardice to recklessness, during litigation. Semi-structured written interviews with 46 practising lawyers were analysed thematically in MAXQDA24. Participants largely saw courage as pivotal to sustaining claims, especially when supported by education, financial resources, and robust social ties. Social pressure and reputational risks frequently dampened courage, prompting early withdrawal. Lawyers portrayed cowardly clients as anxious and hesitant, courageous clients as calibrated risk-takers, and reckless clients as bold but imprudent, and tailored their guidance, accordingly, offering reassurance, structure, or caution. Situating these dynamics within Turkiye's collectivist, high-uncertainty-avoidant context, the study advances cross-cultural legal psychology and highlights the value of emotional intelligence and mental health awareness in legal practice.Article A Left-Definite Non-Integer-Order Dissipative Operator(Springer Nature, 2026) Ugurlu, EkinIn this paper we consider a non-integer (fractional)-order nonselfadjoint boundary-value problem so that the fractional-order equation is a kind of left-definite equation. We construct a dissipative operator in a Sobolev space H-1(a,b) and we introduce several results on the spectral properties of the related operators. In particular, we construct an inverse operator with the aid of the Dirac-delta function and we apply Krein's theorem to the inverse operator which is compact having a nuclear imaginary component.Article Enhanced Mapping of Rainfall Induced Landslide Susceptibility Using a Deep Feedforward Neural Network with Soft Computing(Techno-Press, 2026) Zhu, Licai; Akagic, Amila; Nanehkaran, Yaser A.; Pusatli, Tolga; Mahmud, Elkhan; Jian, DongThe presented study attempted to propose enhanced rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility mapping method by using the Deep Feedforward Neural Network (DFNN) which is developed for analysis the non-liner feature detection in landslide susceptibility analysis. To evaluate our approach, a comprehensive dataset of triggering factors was compiled, encompassing historical landslide occurrences with total of 107 records, rainfall data, geological information, seismicity, human-activities, and topographic attributes. Through rigorous training and testing procedures, the DFNN demonstratedsuperior ability for generalization and superior performance. The effectiveness of the selected method is demonstrated on the data from the Zanjan County, known for its diverse geographical, geological, and hydrological characteristics, which are pivotal factors in mapping of landslide susceptibility. Results showcased a substantial enhancement in the accuracy of mapping of rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility for the Zanjan County, which is compared with benchmark learning classifiers. According to the results of the study, it appeared that the northeastern and southwestern area of the Zanjan County can be deemed to have a high to very-high risk of landslide occurrence, which is validated via benchmark classifiers. The western part of the Zanjan County was observed to have a very low to low risk.Article Refocus on Planning and Positive Refocusing Mediate the Relationship Between Cognitive Flexibility and Psychological Resilience(Springer, 2026) Mungan, Özlem; Torun Yazihan, NaksidilCognitive flexibility is one of the most important indicators of mental health and is a cognitive process at the heart of psychological resilience. The more cognitively flexible individuals are, the more likely they are to use adaptive emotion regulation strategies, which in turn increases their psychological resilience, according to the results of the current study. This study highlights the value of fostering cognitive flexibility and adaptive emotion regulation strategies to promote psychological resilience, and provides practical insights for practitioners. For future studies, training programmes designed to improve cognitive flexibility may have downstream benefits for emotion regulation and resilience-for example, cognitive behavioural therapy, rational-emotional therapy and mindfulness-based interventions, which are known to improve cognitive flexibility, may be particularly effective in promoting adaptive emotional responses.Article On Multiplicative Fractional Operators of Hadamard and Katugampola Types in G-Calculus and Related Hermite-Hadamard Inequalities(World Scientific Publ Co Pte Ltd, 2026) Abdeljawad, Thabet; Lakhdari, Abdelghani; Jarad, Fahd; Budak, Hüseyin; Alqudah, Manar AThis paper explores the extension of classical fractional operators to the framework of G-calculus, a non-Newtonian calculus in which differentiation and integration are defined via multiplicative analogs of their classical counterparts. We begin by recalling key concepts from both fractional calculus and G-calculus. Next, we revisit the recently introduced multiplicative Riemann-Liouville fractional operators and extend the multiplicative Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative to arbitrary order alpha > 0. Building on this foundation, we introduce multiplicative versions of the Hadamard and Katugampola fractional integrals and derivatives. Finally, we establish Hermite-Hadamard inequalities for both newly defined integrals.Article From Facial Expressions to Thermal Sensation: POMS-Validated AI-Based Mood Estimation Driving Psychology-Adaptive HVAC Control(Elsevier Science SA, 2026) Saleh, Yousif Abed Saleh; Sümer, Mustafa Erdi; Saleh Saleh, Yousif Abed; Lotfi, Bahram; Turhan, Cihan; Özbey, Mehmet FurkanThe psychological state of building occupants plays a critical role in how thermal environments are perceived and experienced, yet conventional Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) control strategies largely ignore this factor. Current systems typically focus on environmental and personal parameters, overlooking the influence of mood state on thermal comfort. This omission can lead to suboptimal comfort levels, decreased occupant satisfaction, and inefficient energy use. Integrating psychological feedback into the HVAC control has the potential to transform indoor climate management into a truly occupant-centric process. To this aim, this study presents a novel framework that employs artificial intelligence (AI) and image processing together to estimate occupants' mood states in real time. Facial expressions are analysed using a deep learning-based computer vision model, and the resulting mood predictions are validated with the Profile of Mood States (POMS) questionnaire to ensure accuracy and reliability. Validated mood data directly informs the HVAC setpoint adjustments, enabling psychology-adaptive control that responds dynamically to occupants' current mood states. Moreover, the system operates in real time, combining low-latency image analysis with adaptive control algorithms to continuously align thermal conditions with validated mood estimations. Additionally, implementing mood-driven HVAC control shows potential for enhancing perceived comfort while improving energy efficiency. By bridging the gap between psychological state assessment and environmental control, this research contributes to the advancement of intelligent building systems, paving the way for more responsive, energy-conscious, and human-centered indoor environments.Article A Metaverse-Based Fully Immersive Training for Temporomandibular Joint: A Pilot Study(Wiley, 2026) Ozcelik, Erol; Ekici, Saliha Zerdali; Basmaci, Fulya; Cagiltay, Nergiz Ercil; Kilicarslan, Mehmet AliObjective Understanding the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can be challenging with conventional methods, as its complex anatomy, comprising the articular disc, mandibular condyle, and temporal bone, requires detailed visualisation. Traditional approaches like textbooks and static images often fall short, whereas modern tools such as 3D modelling and virtual reality (VR) offer more effective alternatives. Metaverse technology further enhances this by creating interactive, immersive and collaborative learning environments that simulate real-world experiences. While VR is increasingly used in dental education, research on fully immersive metaverse-based learning remains limited.Methods In this pilot study, a custom metaverse environment was developed to teach TMJ concepts. Then, the effectiveness of conventional and metaverse-based teaching methods in improving dental students' understanding of the TMJ was evaluated experimentally. A randomised trial was conducted with 120 first-year dental students, divided into three groups: classical lecturing, metaverse-based training and a combination of both.Results Findings indicate that students in the metaverse and combined groups outperformed those in the classical lecturing group, with no significant difference between the two metaverse-involved groups.Conclusions This suggests that for highly complex anatomical structures like the TMJ, metaverse-based training alone may be sufficient, eliminating the need for additional traditional instruction. The study highlights the metaverse's potential to enhance dental education by providing a fully 3D, interactive learning experience.Article Messaging Brand Experience: Brand Ethicality, Brand Trust, Brand Attitudes(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Ozsacmaci, Bulent; Kilic, Tamer; Dursun, Tolga; Celik, SuleymanMessaging applications (e.g. WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal-type platforms) have become high-frequency touchpoints within integrated marketing communications. This study examines how the brand experience of messaging applications translates into brand attitudes through two parallel mechanisms: perceived brand ethicality and brand trust. We theorize that ethicality and trust serve as communication signals that arise from interface-level design and governance choices, such as plain-language privacy notices, granular consent flows, visible encryption and reliability cues, and third-party assurances. Using survey data from active messaging users, we validated the measurement model via CFA and tested a parallel-mediation structure with bootstrapped indirect effects. Results indicate that messaging brand experience exerts a positive direct effect on brand attitudes and significant indirect effects through both brand ethicality and brand trust, confirming that persuasion in messaging hinges on credibility and transparency signals embedded in the journey. Robustness checks across alternative specifications support these findings. Theoretically, the paper integrates behavioural foundations of persuasion with corporate communication by reframing governance artefacts as source/message credibility cues that shape ethical inferences and risk reduction. Managerially, the results recommend making ethical and reliability signals salient within messaging flows, aligning privacy-by-default language with value propositions, and orchestrating assurance elements across channels to improve attitudes and downstream performance.Article Exploring undefinedIundefined in Research: Reflexivity through a Lacanian Lens(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Canbolat, FaziletThis article explores reflexivity through a Lacanian lens, emphasizing the divided nature of the subject and the role of the unconscious in shaping reflexive practices. It examines the limitations of traditional definitions of reflexivity, which often focus on the self or ego, and offers a Lacanian perspective centered on the subject and the Borromean knot. By highlighting the roles of academic norms and expectations, language, ideal images, and unconscious forces, the article argues that reflexivity involves not only a dynamic negotiation between the researcher's subjectivity and academic structures but also the interplay of the imaginary, symbolic, and real dimensions of subjectivity. It also emphasizes how language exposes the often-overlooked real dimension within reflexivity.
