Monitoring Surface Deformations in a Fossil Landslide Zone and Identifying Potential Failure Mechanisms: A Case Study of Gümüşhane State Hospital.

The escalating occurrence of landslides has drawn increasing attention from the scientific community, primarily driven by a combination of natural phenomena such as unpredictable seismic events, intensified precipitation, and rapid snowmelt attributable to climate fluctuations, compounded by inadequacies in engineering practices during site selection. Within the scope of this investigation, contemporary geodetic techniques using the GNSS were employed to monitor structural and surface deformations in and around a hospital edifice situated within an ancient fossil landslide region. Additionally, inclinometer measurements facilitated the determination of slip circle parameters.

A qualitative study of women's experiences of vaginal douching in Türkiye.

Vaginal douching, a practice that has existed for many years, is defined as the process of intravaginal cleansing using a liquid solution. Despite its negative consequences with respect to health, vaginal douching is widely practised in many countries. This study sought to examine the vaginal douching experiences of women in the southeastern region of Türkiye.

Land Subsidence and Its Relations with Sinkhole Activity in Karapınar Region, Turkey: A Multi-Sensor InSAR Time Series Study.

The Karapinar basin, located in the Central Anatolian part of Turkey, is subjected to land subsidence and sinkhole activity due to extensive groundwater withdrawal that began in the early 2000s. In this study, we use Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR), Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and groundwater level data to monitor and better understand the relations between groundwater extraction, land subsidence, and sinkhole formation in the Karapinar basin. The main observations used in the study are InSAR-derived subsidence velocity maps calculated from both Sentinel-1 (2014-2018) and COSMO-SkyMed (2016-2017) SAR data.

Validating InSAR-SBAS results by means of different GNSS analysis techniques in medium- and high-grade deformation areas.

This study aimed to validate the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) method by using relative and absolute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) techniques. In this context, two land subsidence areas, one high (Mexico City) and one medium (Aguascalientes), were monitored between 2014 and 2018 by using Sentinel 1A satellite data. The monitoring was carried out with the Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) technique using 46 images for Mexico City and 18 images for Aguascalientes.

Survival of periviable infants: 5-year experience at a single center.

The primary aim of the present study was to investigate the survival rates of periviable births in a referral Level III NICU center in Turkey; the secondary aim was to determine the perinatal and natal risk factors related to mortality. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit between 1 January 2011 and 31 December 2015. All live deliveries occurring from 22 0/7 weeks to 25 6/7 week of gestation were included in the study (total  = 165).
