The bilateral impacts of global climate change on the shipping sector: an analysis of IPCC scenarios and IMO’S GHG emissions reduction strategies
(Springer, 2025) Ülker, Duygu; Göksu, Serap
The shipping industry serves as a pivotal marker of globalization, with its involvement in 80% of global trade. The impact of climate change (CC) on the shipping sector, as well as the impact of shipping on CC, have been extensively examined in this study. Ships produce exhaust gases which cause significant global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Without intervention, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections estimate that ship-generated CO2 emissions could more than double by 2050. To mitigate the impact of shipping on CC, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) is regulating the shipping sector and setting 2050 emissions reduction targets to improve its environmental efficiency. However, the shipping industry is also affected by CC, particularly in terms of changing shipping routes and rising sea levels. This chapter reviews the bilateral impacts of global CC on the shipping sector, incorporating scenarios from the IPCC and energy efficiency measures implemented by IMO.
Social workers as agents of change: understanding water conservation behaviours and the role of environmental education
(Routledge, 2025) Yanardağ, Umut; Tok, Mevlüt Görkem; Selçuk, Ozan
This mixed-methods research studies the perceptions and practices related to water consumption among social workers in Türkiye. It looks at the determinants that may influence water-saving behaviour and the potential of environmental education. Quantitatively, the results showed that according to the returned questionnaires completed by 395 social workers, significant differences were observed in terms of gender, age, marital status, parental influence, and water-saving training programmes; the female respondents, older respondents, and respondents with children were more active in water-saving practices. In-depth interviews with a purposive sample of ten social workers reinforced how personal experiences, family upbringing, and cultural values shape attitudes related to water conservation. Thematic analysis showed that early socialisation and direct exposure to water scarcity are key factors in promoting sustainable water behaviours. The combination of the quantitative and qualitative results highlights placing environmental education in the curriculum and post-qualifying education on the use of water as a resource in a sustainable manner. For this, future research should be carried out to identify the long-term effects of education concerning water conservation within social work practice.
Anatomy education in transition: examining medical student experiences during the distance education
(Via Medica, 2025) Özkan, Mazhar; Alpay, Meltem; Zeybek, Ali
Background: Distance education emerged as a potential solution to enhance access, standardize content, and facilitate updates. However, student perceptions varied widely. The COVID-19 pandemic prompted a rapid shift towards distance education in anatomy, presenting challenges and opportunities for medical students globally. A crucial area of study is how distant learning, utilized once more during the 2023 earthquakes, affects medical education and students. This study investigates medical students’ perspectives on anatomy education in remote and in-person settings. Materials and methods: This study involved surveying first and second-year medical students to gather their opinions and experiences regarding distance and face-to-face education. The advantages and disadvantages of anatomy distance education were then analyzed based on the students’ responses. Results: Individuals who preferred traditional in-person education were less inclined to utilize digital resources, whereas those who selected remote education shown a greater preference for the usage of digital resources (p < 0.001). Similarly, individuals who favored traditional in-person education exhibited low levels of confidence in online exams, whereas those who preferred remote education shown high levels of confidence (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Considering the results of our study and our location in a potentially hazardous area affected by the North Anatolian Fault line in the Marmara Region of Türkiye, we believe that our experiences with distance education will help in effectively maintaining the anatomy in medical education process.

Aromatic carbothioamide-, triazole-, thiadiazole-, and thiazolidinone-derived benzimidazoles: synthesis, characterization, urease and AChE inhibition properties, and docking study
(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2025) Karaali, Nesrin Ünal; Akyüz, Gülay; Uluçay, Berna; Emirik, Mustafa
In this study, we synthesized a series of aromatic carbothioamide derivatives bearing a benzimidazole scaffold. Subsequently, their thiadiazole and triazole analogs were prepared through intramolecular cyclization under acidic and basic conditions. Additionally, thiazolidinone derivatives were synthesized via cyclization in the presence of ethyl bromoacetate. The in vitro inhibitory activities of all synthesized compounds against urease and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were evaluated. All compounds showed significant inhibitory effects, with IC50 values ranging from 7.50 ± 0.20 to 9.05 ± 0.10 μg/mL against urease (standard: thiourea, 15.75 ± 0.15 μg/mL) and from 7.25 ± 0.15 to 9.35 ± 0.05 μg/mL against AChE (standard: galantamine, 20.75 ± 0.25 μg/mL). Among them, the triazole derivative 3b was identified as the most potent urease inhibitor (IC50 = 7.50 ± 0.20 μg/mL). Notably, carbothioamide derivative 2c exhibited superior dual inhibitory activity, with IC50 values of 7.25 ± 0.15 μg/mL for AChE and 7.80 ± 0.10 μg/mL for urease, making it a promising candidate for multi-target enzyme inhibition. Molecular docking studies further supported these findings by revealing strong and stable interactions of 2c within the active sites of both enzymes, which correlates well with its experimental potency. These results highlight compound 2c as a compelling lead structure for the development of dual-target therapeutic agents, combining significant experimental activity with theoretical validation.
