Prevalence and molecular analysis of some important viruses in honey bee colonies in Türkiye: the status of multiple infections.

In this study, seven bee viruses of significant importance for bee health in Türkiye were investigated using one-step RT-PCR. For this purpose, larvae from 1183 hives and adult bees from 1196 hives were sampled from 400 apiaries in 40 provinces. The prevalence of viral infections in hives was as follows: acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV), 6.

Molecular characterization of G and F protein genes of bovine respiratory syncytial virus detected from dead calves caused by severe respiratory syndrome: emergence of novel mutations and their importance.

Unlabelled: Bovine respiratory syncytial virus (BRSV) is an important viral agent in bovine respiratory disease complex affecting young calves from asymptomatic to fatal. Although BRSV is widely prevalent in Türkiye as in other parts of the world, there are limited molecular studies on BRSV in Türkiye. Therefore, in order to better understand the characteristics of circulating BRSV in Türkiye, a study based on the molecular analysis of both F and G proteins was performed.

In Their Own Voices; Living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Qualitative Study.

Objective: To provide a deeper assessment of the lived experience of patients with hidradenitis suppurativa, a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent abscess, sinuses, and scars.

Methods: This study used a phenomenologic approach. Researchers recruited 10 participants via purposive sampling.

Glass-based LED system for indoor horticulture: enhanced plant growth through Sm and Tm co-doped luminescent glasses.

This study addresses the challenges of sustainable and efficient agricultural practices in the face of climate change and the destruction of agricultural lands by presenting the development of a novel plant growth LED based on Sm and Tm co-doped luminescent glasses with color-converting properties that emit blue and red light, resulting in an increased rate of photosynthesis and density of photosynthetically active radiation reaching the harvesting pigments. The developed LED exhibits photoluminescence (PL) peak positions ranging from 454 to 648 nm, with a spectral coverage of 50% and 39% of the absorption regions of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b, respectively, resulting in an impressive 56% photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). Furthermore, the developed plant growth LED demonstrates robust performance, remaining unaffected by temperature cycles and extended operation periods.

The first serological detection of West Nile virus infection among residents living in northern Turkey.

Background & Objectives: West Nile virus (WNV) is transmitted by a mosquito-borne virus whose natural reservoir is birds. Humans and horses are considered accidental hosts. Even if the vast majority of WNV infections in humans have asymptomatic or mild disease settings, serious neurological disorders with lethal outcomes can also be observed in around 1% of the cases.
