Comprehensive insights into electric vehicle classification and lithium-ion battery technologies: Applications, disposal, and thermal management
(Turk Isi Bilimi ve Teknigi Dernegi, 2025) Cüce, Pınar Mert; Genç, Gamze; Cüce, Erdem; Genç, Mustafa Serdar; Alvur, Emre; Hatem, Muhammed
Electric vehicles (EVs) have emerged as a critical solution to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the transportation sector. However, the effectiveness and sustainability of EVs are closely tied to the performance and environmental impact of lithium ion batteries (LIBs). This study provides an in-depth exploration of LIB technologies, focusing on battery thermal management systems (BTMSs), recycling processes, and the environmental consequences of large-scale battery deployment. We compare different battery types, including lithium-ion, nickel-metal hydride, lead-acid, and metal-air batteries, presenting their advantages, limitations, and sustainability metrics in a comprehensive table. Furthermore, this work investigates a variety of cooling methods, air, liquid, phase change material (PCM), and thermoelectric systems, highlighting their effects on battery lifespan, efficiency, and safety. The analysis extends to the environmental impacts of LIB production and disposal, exploring recycling technologies like pyrometallurgical, hydrometallurgical, and direct recycling processes. By integrating intelligent cooling systems and addressing challenges in waste management, this research bridges a crucial gap in the literature, offering innovative solutions to enhance LIB efficiency, longevity, and sustainability in EV applications.
Thrift-growth nexus for the regional comprehensive economic partnership countries
(2025) Çolak, Olcay; Bölükbaşı, Ömer Faruk
Purpose - This study examines the relationship between savings and economic growth, accounting for the mediating role of financial development across the selected Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) countries. Methods - Using a panel data set spanning 1986 to 2022, the long-run interaction among the variables is investigated with panel cointegration methods that account for cross-sectional dependence. Moreover, the associated long-run elasticities were estimated using the augmented mean group estimation method. The causal nexus was examined for each country in the sample. Findings - In addition to the presence of a long-run relationship, the findings revealed that both thrifts and growth have a positive influence on each other in the long run. In addition, bidirectional causality tends to exist between thrifts and growth. Implication - Since the findings disclose the validity of two mainstream macroeconomic views, policymakers should rely on developing economic policies aiming at fostering thrift and economic growth, which may include support of institutional quality and financial deepening in those economies. Originality - The originality and added value of the study stem from the development of a new perspective, particularly in the examination of causal relationships. Furthermore, this is one of the primary efforts focused on the RCEP bloc, which has significant potential in terms of trade, finance, thrifts, and economic size in the contemporary world economy.
The role of parents' space maintainer awareness on their children's untreated dental caries: Testing a conceptual model
(SAGE Publications, 2025) Ulubay, Sena Sakın; Aydınoğlu, Sema; Arslan, İpek
Objectives: Space maintainers are frequently used to prevent malocclusion problems in early primary tooth loss. Parents' oral health literacy and awareness of space maintainers may influence children's oral health outcomes. This study aimed to examine the direct and indirect roles of parents' space maintainer awareness on their children's untreated dental caries with a conceptual model. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 600 children and their parents. Sociodemographic data and space maintainer awareness survey was administered to parents face to face. Parents' oral health literacy levels were measured with TREALD-30 and TREALD-30A scales. Children's oral health status was evaluated using DMFT and PUFA indexes. Path analysis was performed to test the conceptual model (p < 0.05). Results: The conceptual model revealed significant effects of TREALD-30A scores on space maintainer awareness (ss = 0.384, p < 0.001), DMFT scores on space maintainer awareness (ss = 0.081, p = 0.023) and space maintainer awareness on PUFA scores (ss = 0.106, p = 0.017). Additionally, TREALD-30A (ss = -0.032, p = 0.002) and DMFT (ss = -0.008, p = 0.014) scores had significant indirect effects on PUFA through space maintainer awareness. The space maintainer awareness score has a mediating role. Conclusions: The path analysis has shown that the parents' space maintainer awareness has a direct and indirect effect on the clinical outcomes of untreated dental caries in their children. Although oral health literacy alone was not effective, it reduced clinical consequences of untreated dental caries in children through space maintainer awareness. The model suggests that interventions to increase parents' oral health literacy and space maintainers awareness will help parents pay more attention to their children's oral health.
