    Anaplastic Ependymoma and Atypical Refractory Longitudinal Expansive Transverse Myelitis Due to Immune Reaction After COVID-19-A Case Discussion That Raises Many Unknown Questions About Covid-19
    Gemici, YI; Çelik, F; Göz, ZZ; Isisag, A; Ovali, GY; Zileli, M; Barutçuoglu, M; Mavioglu, H
    Inflammatory neurologic manifestations, both infectious and noninfectious, have been reported secondary to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19). However, the relationship of spinal tumor and COVID-19 longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis (LETM) coexistence has never been reported in our knowledge. The clinical presentation and response to treatment of a 24-year-old female patient diagnosed with COVID-19 LETM and anaplastic ependymoma are described in this case report. The Patient's cerebrospinal fluid COVID-19 antibody level was higher than serum , she was resistant to immunosuppressive treatment. The interaction between COVID-19 and spinal tumor was discussed in the light of the literature. It is thought that COVID-19 infection could trigger tumor growth in this patient. Also, this is the first case of anaplastic ependymoma and COVID-19 myelitis coexistence in the literature.

    Effects of Oral Stimulation and Supplemental Nursing System on the Transition Time to Full Breast of Mother and Sucking Success in Preterm Infants: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    Çelik, F; Sen, S; Muslu, GK
    This study aimed to investigate the effect of oral stimulation and a supplemental nursing system on the time to full maternal breastfeeding and sucking success in preterm infants. The sample consisted of 70 preterm babies. Oral motor stimulation and a supplemental nursing system were applied to the preterm infants in the experimental group, while no intervention was applied to those in the control group. Significant differences were found between the two groups concerning transition time to oral feeding, transition weight, transition time to full maternal breast, discharge age, duration, and weight, LATCH mean scores, continuing to suck in the first month after discharge, and weight averages. Oral stimulation and a supplemental nursing system shortened the transition period to oral feeding and full breastfeeding, increased breastfeeding rates and the sustainability of breastfeeding, and did not affect the period of discharge and vital signs during feeding in preterm babies.

    Two decades of research on Roma in Türkiye: Socioeconomic exclusion, identity, and state policies
    Çelik, F; Ustuk, O
    The scholarly investigation of Roma communities in Turkiye has intensified since the 2000s, largely driven by Turkiye's EU accession candidacy and subsequent adaptation process. This alignment, along with internal developments, prompted governments to prioritize Roma issues, implement projects, and issue action plans. The Roma Civil Society Movement in the 1990s further highlighted Roma challenges, resulting in a diverse body of literature. This study critically examines academic literature to map prevailing trends and thematic foci. Key areas of scholarly engagement include the various dimensions of socio-economic exclusion faced by Roma in education, employment, housing, and health. Additionally, scholars analyze how Roma negotiate and resist pejorative representations, construct their identities, and organize to address contemporary challenges. State policies affecting Roma, from past to present, also receive considerable attention. By critically engaging with this scholarship, the present study highlights significant progress and ongoing challenges in Romani Studies in Turkiye, offering insights into future research directions.

    AN ANALYSIS ON THE OPERATIONS AND FUNCTIONS OF A SHARIAH COURT: THE CASE OF OTTOMAN USKUDAR (1547-1551)
    Çelik, F
    Through a close reading of a single register found in the sixteenth-century court record series of Uskudar, this article introduces the reader to the operations of the Shariah court of Uskudar and its records from 1547 to 1551. By approaching the court records as both text and document, it explores the functions of the court, identifies the court officials, defines their roles, and delineates the role played by the qadi, his court and the local community in the administration of justice. This article can be read as a contribution to the newly emerging literature on variations in the Shariah courts in the Ottoman Empire in terms of their operations. As the recent literature including this present study demonstrates, the duties of the local Shariah court in the Ottoman Empire are neither singular nor monolithic. While some of the courts provided notarial and administrative services primarily, others acted as significant sites for dispute resolution. Hence their operations were primarily judicial. What emerges from this study is that the court of Uskudar in the very middle of the sixteenth century primarily functioned as a public registry.

    High Depression Symptoms and Burnout Levels Among Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Multi-Center, Cross-Sectional, Case-Control Study
    Kütük, MÖ; Tufan, AE; Kiliçaslan, F; Güler, G; Çelik, F; Altintas, E; Gökçen, C; Karadag, M; Yektas, Ç; Mutluer, T; Kandemir, H; Büber, A; Topal, Z; Acikbas, U; Giray, A; Kütük, Ö
    The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in a child affects family processes, increases parenting stress and marital conflicts, and may lead to parental psychopathology. It may also affect the prognosis for their children. The aim of this study is to determine depression and burnout levels as well as their predictors among parents of children with ASD compared with those of healthy children. We also sought to evaluate rate of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) interventions among parents and explore the associations of this phenomenon in an exploratory fashion. 145 children with ASD and 127 control children were enrolled along with their mothers and fathers. Beck Depression Inventory and Maslach Burnout Inventory were used to evaluate parents' depression symptoms and burnout levels. Symptoms of children with ASDs were evaluated according to the Childhood Autism Rating Scale by the clinicians. Family, child and CAM variables were screened by means of a sociodemographic data form. Descriptive, bivariate and correlation analyses were used in statistical evaluations. Predictors of burnout were evaluated with multiple regression analysis. Burnout and depression levels among parents of children with ASD were significantly elevated compared to controls. Burnout levels of mothers were significantly elevated compared to fathers while depression scores of fathers were significantly elevated compared to mothers. Maternal burnout was significantly predicted by presence of functional speech in child while paternal burnout was significantly predicted by paternal vocation. Maternal depression was associated with paternal depression, lack of speech in child and attendance of child to special education services. Paternal depression was associated with autistic symptom severity and maternal depression. More than half the parents sought CAM interventions. Education level did not affect search for CAM interventions while both maternal and paternal psychopathology and presence of epilepsy among children increased use of CAM methods. Psychological support should be provided to both mothers and fathers of a child receiving a diagnosis of ASD. Addressing parents' burnout and stress levels and facilitating their negotiation of knowledge on etiology and treatments for ASD may be beneficial for the family unit as a whole.
