A UHF RFID-Based System for Real-Time Production Monitoring and Tag Quality Control in the Textile Industry
(SAGE Publications Inc, 2026) Altuglu, Ogeday; Gunduzalp, Mustafa
In the textile industry, labeling errors during the production process present significant challenges for both quality control and product traceability. This study proposes a real-time RFID-based production tracking and label quality control system to address these issues. In the developed system, RFID tags attached to products are read by embedded devices equipped with RFID readers integrated into the production lines. The captured product code data is transmitted to a local server via MQTT. The server verifies the tags by querying a central database and provides instant feedback to the corresponding device. The system runs entirely over a local network and does not require an external internet connection, ensuring uninterrupted functionality even in infrastructure-limited environments. This architecture enables all devices on the production line to communicate synchronously with the server, maintaining system-wide consistency and integrity. In this way, the use of a single tag per product is ensured, and faulty tags are filtered out. Furthermore, the system evaluates tag readability to detect quality issues such as stitching errors, physical deformation and alerts the operator through feedback. As a result, defective products are identified and removed before production is completed, helping to reduce time loss, and improve overall production reliability.

AIndividualism and Algorithmic Collectivism: Rethinking Individual-Collective Dynamics in the Age of AI
(Springer, 2026) Ozerim, Mehmet Gokay
This study explores how artificial intelligence reshapes the long-standing relationship between individualism and collectivism. It argues that AI does not simply shift the balance between these perspectives, but transforms how they coexist and evolve in contemporary societies. Drawing on Deleuze's idea of Societies of Control and Taylor's theory of self-determining individualism, the paper introduces two related concepts: AIndividualism and Algorithmic Collectivism. The first describes new forms of hyper-personalized autonomy produced through algorithmic personalization and continuous data feedback. The second refers to emerging modes of collective identity and coordinated action that develop within digital infrastructures guided by algorithms. By examining these dynamics together, the study shows that technology can both expand individual agency and cultivate collective forms of organization. AI enhances self-determination while also generating algorithmic collectivities that influence belonging, meaning, and social coordination. These intertwined processes reveal a central paradox of digital modernity: technology empowers individuals even as it aligns them through shared algorithmic systems. The discussion moves beyond binary thinking about autonomy and community, suggesting that both now unfold within the same technological frameworks. Understanding this dual process is crucial for developing ethical and policy responses that reflect AI's impact on human agency and social life. The paper concludes that the challenge of the AI age is not to choose between the individual and the collective, but to sustain both in a balanced and responsible way within an increasingly algorithmic world.

Analysis of M/M/s Make-to-Stock Queues with Production Start-up Costs for Both Lost Sales and Backordering Cases
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2025) Ozkan, Sinem; Bulut, Onder; Dincer, Mehmet Cemali
This study considers a production-inventory system with production start-up costs and parallel production lines. Production times are independent and identically distributed exponential random variables and demands are generated according to a stationary Poisson process. Production and inventory are controlled by the extended-two-critical-number policy. The system is modelled as an M/M/s make-to-stock queue and analysed for both lost sales and backordering cases. A renewal approach is developed to calculate the expected average system cost. Furthermore, an approximation is proposed to calculate the control parameters of the extended-two-critical-number policy. An extensive numerical study is conducted to illustrate the effects of changes in system parameters and the effectiveness of the proposed approximation. The analysis shows that the proposed approximation performs well across various system conditions.

Assessing Seasonal Drought Persistence Using a Bayesian Logistic Regression Approach
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Mehr, Ali Danandeh; Safari, Mir Jafar Sadegh; Ahmed, Abdelkader T.; Ali, Zulfiqar; Raza, Muhammad Ahmad; Danandeh Mehr, Ali; Niaz, Rizwan
This study investigates the patterns and intraseasonal predictability of meteorological drought (MD) through exploring the frequency and persistence of drought events. To this end, 52 years of precipitation measurements at six meteorology stations located in Ankara Province of Türkiye were used. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) at 3-month accumulation period, i.e., SPI-3, was calculated to represent local MD conditions. To evaluate the likelihood and odds of MD events a single variable Bayesian Logistic Regression approach was employed. Our findings showed that both frequency and intraseasonal persistence of MD events range from 40 % to 90 % in the region. Certain areas, such as Beypazari, Nallihan, and Kizilcahamam were found particularly vulnerable to drought and are more likely to experience drought persistence between successive seasons. Furthermore, the results revealed a negative correlation between spring drought occurrences and winter SPI-3 records, indicating a heightened exposure to drought persistence from winter to spring, while demonstrating reduced vulnerability during the transition from summer to fall. Providing a robust probabilistic framework for assessing drought persistence, this study contributes to improving drought risk management in the region.

Automated Detection and Quantification of Honey Adulteration Using Thermal Imaging and Convolutional Neural Networks
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Unluturk, Mehmet S.; Unluturk, Sevcan; Berk, Berkay
Honey is a valuable natural food rich in bioactive substances beneficial to health. Despite strict regulations prohibiting adulteration, honey remains one of the most frequently adulterated foods, often with low-cost commercial syrups. Conventional detection methods require expensive instruments, expert operators, and lengthy analysis times, limiting their practical use. This study introduces a rapid and automated method for detecting and quantifying honey adulteration using thermal image analysis combined with a tailored Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture. Thirty-six pure honey samples (blossom and honeydew) from different regions of Türkiye were adulterated with inverted sugar, maltose, and glucose syrups at varying levels (3 %-60 % weight/weight (w/w)). Samples were heated to 60 degrees C and thermal images were captured during cooling using a custom image-capturing unit. The CNN model employed a multi-layer structure, starting with a shallow network for binary classification (pure vs adulterated honey) achieving 100 % accuracy, followed by specialized deeper CNN regressors to quantify adulterant levels with mean squared errors of 0.0003, 0.001, and 0.0002 for glucose, maltose, and inverted sugar, respectively. This layered CNN approach leverages thermal patterns linked to adulteration, enabling sensitive, rapid, and non-destructive quality control. Furthermore, the method is integrated into a user-friendly hardware-software system called Compact Adulteration Testing Cabinet on Honey (CATCH), requiring no specialized expertise, demonstrating strong potential for automated honey authenticity verification in practical settings.
Automatic Short-Answer Grading in Sustainability Education: AI-Human Agreement
(Wiley, 2026) Emirtekin, Emrah; Ozarslan, Yasin
Background Sustainability education emphasises critical thinking and interdisciplinary understanding, making the assessment of students' learning outcomes complex. While Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in educational assessment, their reliability in domains requiring contextual reasoning-such as sustainability-remains unclear. Objectives This study aims to evaluate the agreement between human raters and several LLMs (GPT-4o, Gemini 2.0 Flash, DeepSeek V3, LLaMA 3.3) in assessing short-answer responses from a university-level Sustainability course. It also investigates how this agreement varies across cognitive skill levels. Methods A total of 232 short-answer responses were evaluated using a rubric aligned with Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. Consensus scores from human raters were compared to LLM-generated scores using multiple statistical measures, including Quadratic Weighted Kappa (QWK), Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), Pearson correlation, and distributional overlap. Results Moderate agreement was found between LLMs and human raters in total scores (QWK: 0.585-0.640; r: 0.660-0.668; eta: 0.681-0.803). Inter-rater reliability among humans was good to excellent (ICC: 0.667-0.800). Criterion-level agreement declined as cognitive complexity increased, with notably low agreement on evaluating higher-order skills. Conclusions Overall, LLM-human agreement was moderate on total scores but declined at higher cognitive levels, indicating that LLMs are suitable for basic comprehension checks while human oversight remains necessary for complex reasoning.

Beyond Mainstream Paradigms: The Epistemological Gap in Turkish Public Relations Postgraduate Research
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Alikilic, Ozlem; Gokus, Busra
PurposeThis study aims to examine the extent to which graduate theses in the field of public relations in Türkiye engage with critical thinking and theory. By analyzing 664 master's and doctoral theses completed between 1984 and 2024, the research assesses the dominance of mainstream paradigms and the presence - or absence - of critical approaches. Highlighting the lack of epistemological diversity in postgraduate education, the study critiques the overemphasis on technical skills and the marginalization of ethics, social responsibility and critical reflection. Ultimately, it advocates for integrating critical theories into curricula to foster a more democratic and transformative public relations education.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopts a descriptive and exploratory qualitative design. It analyzes 664 public relations theses - 511 master's and 153 doctoral - completed in Türkiye between 1984 and 2024 using content analysis. Coding followed Ferguson's (1984; 2018) tripartite framework (introspective, practice and/or application and theory development) and incorporated subcategories from Sallot et al. (2003). Abstracts were the main data source; full texts were examined when theoretical grounding was insufficient. Six critical frameworks guided the identification of critical perspectives: (1) power relations and hegemony, (2) socio-political conditioning, (3) discursive legitimation, (4) methodological strategies, (5) public interest and realism and (6) critical cultural praxis.FindingsThe study reveals that 98% of public relations theses in Türkiye (1984-2024) are based on mainstream theories, with only 13 of 664 theses (1.96%) - eight master's and five doctoral - engaging with critical perspectives. Although greater critical depth is expected at the doctoral level, most critical theses were at the master's level. The majority of research emphasizes technical applications and managerial solutions, while critical dimensions - such as socio-political context, ethics, gender and power - are largely neglected. This suggests a structural marginalization of critical thinking in both academic production and pedagogical practices within public relations education in Türkiye.Originality/valueThis study represents the first comprehensive critical analysis of graduate theses in public relations education in Türkiye. It not only maps the numerical distribution of theses but also uncovers their theoretical orientations, pedagogical trends and epistemological gaps. By demonstrating the near absence of critical theories, the research highlights the urgent need for structural transformation in the field. It offers a strong rationale for developing pedagogical models centered on critical thinking and serves as a valuable reference for scholars, educators and curriculum developers aiming to reform public relations education toward more democratic and reflective practices.
Beyond the Spotlight: Unveiling Self-Presentation Strategies of Elite Turkish Female Athletes on Instagram
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Uluçay, Dilek Melike; Melek, Gizem
This study aims to reveal the self-presentation strategies of elite Turkish female athletes on Instagram. Drawing on Goffman's self-presentation theory, the research also explores how gender typing across different sports may shape athletes' self-presentation strategies. By examining the use of social media by 44 elite Turkish female athletes in 15 different sports, this study provides clear evidence that elite athletes utilise Instagram for both front-stage and back-stage presentations by employing six self-presentation strategies (information-sharing, match or competition-related information-sharing, behind-the-scenes, interaction, self-promotion, and opinion-sharing) when sharing content on the platform to convey these different aspects of their athletic lives. The research findings also reveal that, in 'masculine' sports, female athletes tend to share more back-stage performance footage, whereas within 'feminine' branches of athletics, there appears to be a notable inclination towards higher utilisation of the front-stage category.
A Bibliometric Analysis on Bio-Inspired Responsive Facades
(Gazi Univ, 2025) Bilmez, Busra; Maden, Feray
The implementation of responsive facades offers a promising strategy for reducing operational energy use while enhancing indoor comfort. These facades dynamically adjust their configurations, mirroring adaptive behaviors observed in living organisms. The bio-inspired responsive facade approach integrates principles from biomimicry and responsive architecture to develop systems that react intelligently to environmental stimuli. This study aims to analyze existing literature to identify key developments and trends in bio-inspired responsive facades. The research is conducted in three main phases. First, the study establishes its conceptual framework. Second, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis is conducted using the Web of Science database, employing science mapping techniques via VOSviewer and the Bibliometrix R package. This analysis uncovers major trends, turning points, influential authors, leading journals, and significant conferences, offering a clear overview of the research landscape. In the third phase, 33 facade designs are selected from 141 identified publications for comparative analysis. Each design is examined based on material, control systems, movement mechanisms, and functional objectives. The review explores their natural inspirations, responsive stimuli, and material strategies to derive insights for future innovation. Results reveal that 45% of designs focus on improving thermal comfort in hot climates, often utilizing active systems or smart materials. Folding and rotating mechanisms are the most common modes of movement. However, only five designs progress beyond the conceptual phase, highlighting the need for practical implementation. By mapping the evaluation of this interdisciplinary field, the study establishes a systematic foundation for advancing bio-inspired responsive facade research.

Bridging Supply Chain Technologies and Sustainability Outcomes From a Network Based Resource Dependency Perspective
(Wiley, 2026) Ozkan-Ozen, Yesim Deniz; Ozbiltekin-Pala, Melisa; Kazancoglu, Yigit
It is still unclear how different supply chain actors, both human and non-human, implement technological changes to achieve sustainability outcomes by considering their dependencies on each other and their natural social networks, especially in emerging economies. From this point of view, this study aims to integrate two management theories, Actor-Network Theory and Resource Dependence Theory, to explain how supply chain technologies can bridge sustainability outcomes for different supply chain actors. In this study, firstly, a theoretical structure that integrates Actor-Network Theory and Resource Dependence Theory is proposed; secondly, supply chain technologies and sustainability outcomes are determined, and finally, a proposed framework for bridging supply chain technologies and sustainability outcomes through the lens of Actor-Network Theory and Resource Dependence Theory is presented by using semi-structured interviews. As a result of this study, a relationship between technology and sustainability outcomes was established for supply chain actors. It is revealed that technological needs to achieve sustainable outcomes vary for different supply chain actors. The main originality of this paper is its integration of actor-network theory and resource dependence theory. A framework is developed to show resource dependencies between human and non-human actors in the supply chain to achieve sustainability outcomes using supply chain technologies.
