Exploring early marriages: evidence from türkiye on the roles of education and regional inequalities
(SAGE Publications, 2026) Ankara, Hasan Giray; Değerli, Hakan; Değerli, Havvana
This study investigates the educational and regional determinants, as well as education-related inequalities, in early marriage among women in T & uuml;rkiye, utilising data from the 2003 to 2018 rounds of the Turkish Demographic and Health Surveys. Logistic and ordinary least squares regressions were applied to explore the factors influencing early marriage. Concentration indices and their normalised and corrected versions were calculated to quantify education-related inequalities, and Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition was conducted to identify the drivers of these inequalities between western and eastern of T & uuml;rkiye. Findings reveal that women's and husbands' education levels, along with regional differences, significantly affect early marriage, while parental education shows no notable influence. The analysis highlights that early marriages are more prevalent among less-educated women, with greater homogeneity observed in eastern regions. Decomposition results indicate that disparities in women's and husbands' education are the primary contributors to regional inequalities in early marriage. Addressing these inequalities requires not only ongoing educational interventions but also targeted programmes to reduce regional and developmental disparities, thereby fostering greater equity.

Additive manufacturing in biomaterials: a comprehensive and integrated review of innovations in tissue engineering, bioprinting, implant design, and regenerative medicine
(IOP Publishing, 2026) Alparslan, Cem; Bayraktar, Şenol
Additive manufacturing (AM) has rapidly evolved into a groundbreaking technology in biomedical engineering, offering unprecedented capabilities for fabricating patient-specific, anatomically complex structures with high precision. This review presents a comprehensive and critical overview of recent innovations in AM-applied biomaterials, focusing on the integration and application of hydrogels, biopolymers, ceramics, metals, and composite systems. These materials, each with unique biological and mechanical attributes, are pivotal in advancing regenerative medicine, tissue engineering, and the development of next-generation medical implants and devices. Special emphasis is placed on hydrogel-based bioinks and photopolymerizable networks used in 3D bioprinting, which offer tunable properties, excellent biocompatibility, and the ability to mimic extracellular matrix environments. Furthermore, the synergistic design of structural and functional materials in AM platforms is explored to address critical challenges such as mechanical durability, degradation kinetics, immunomodulation, and dynamic cell-matrix interactions. By synthesizing current progress in material science, biofabrication strategies, and translational pathways, this review highlights the transformative potential of AM in shaping the future of personalized and precision medicine-bridging the gap between innovative material design and clinically viable biomedical solutions.
Shaping teacher education through professional identities: enhancing autism awareness
(Springer, 2026) Yazıcı, Mahmut Serkan; Karsantık, İsmail
PurposeThe main aim of this study is to examine autism awareness in relation to different professional identities and to explore its implications for teacher education. Furthermore, the study aims to explore how teacher education can be improved by considering differences in individuals' professional identities, especially regarding autism awareness.MethodsA quantitative approach was used with a sample consisting of 745 participants who completed a data collection form that included the Autism Awareness Scale to primarily examine levels of autism awareness, their sources of information about autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and their perceived competence in educating students with ASD. The analysis included group comparisons, structural equation modeling, response surface analysis, and machine learning-based prediction.ResultsThe findings revealed that different professional identities significantly impact the participants' results. Also, this study found that autism awareness was higher when university education was supported by social media and websites (or non-governmental organizations). For in-service teachers, the most effective method was in-service training delivered in partnership with a non-governmental organization.ConclusionIn line with the results, the study suggests a framework for designing teacher education programs with a focus on teachers' professional identities to effectively foster autism awareness. Furthermore, the study suggests that focusing on key professional factors such as professional pressure, professional belonging, professional awareness, and cultural pressure could make teacher education more effective, especially when tailored to different professional identities within the framework.
Can Rize attract digital nomads? A destination analysis
(University Externado Colombia, 2026) Mete, Bilgen; Acuner, Elif; Özer, Kübra
Technological advancements have expanded remote work opportunities, leading to the emergence of the "digital nomad" tourist profile and a new tourism market. This study aims to evaluate Rize, Turkey, as a potential destination for this profile. Using a qualitative case study design, Turkish digital nomads interested in nature-based destinations were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews and participant observation during a six-day visit to Rize in June 2024, where participants continued their regular work routines. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. Findings indicate that Rize holds strong potential for digital nomad tourism. The study also contributes to the conceptual definition of the digital nomad tourist profile. Based on the findings, destination-planning strategies to attract this kind of tourist are recommended.
