Using the R package popharvest to assess the sustainability of offtake in birds
Authors: Johnson Fred , Eraud Cyril , Francesiaz Charlotte , Zimmerman Guthrie , Koneff Mark
Published: September 2023

The R package popharvest was designed to help assess the sustainability of offtake in birds when only limited demographic information is available. In this article, we describe some basics of harvest theory and then discuss several considerations when using the different approaches in popharvest to assess whether observed harvests are unsustainable. Throughout, we emphasize the importance of distinguishing between the scientific and policy aspects of managing offtake. The principal product of popharvest is a sustainable harvest index (SHI), which can indicate whether harvest is unsustainable but not the converse. SHI is estimated based on a simple, scalar model of logistic population growth, whose parameters may be estimated using limited knowledge of demography. Uncertainty in demography leads to a distribution of SHI values and it is the purview of the decision maker to determine what amounts to an acceptable risk when failing to reject the null hypothesis of sustainability. The attitude toward risk, in turn, will likely depend on the decision maker’s objective(s) in managing offtake. The management objective as specified in popharvest is a social construct, informed by biology, but ultimately it is an expression of social values that usually vary among stakeholders. We therefore suggest that any standardization of criteria for management objectives in popharvest will necessarily be subjective and, thus, hard to defend in diverse decision-making situations. Because of its ease of use, diverse functionalities, and a minimal requirement of demographic information, we expect the use of popharvest to become widespread. Nonetheless, we suggest that while popharvest provides a useful platform for rapid assessments of sustainability, it cannot substitute for sufficient expertise and experience in harvest theory and management.

Multiple myeloma (MM) remains incurable due to drug resistance. Ribosomal protein S3 (RPS3) has been identified as a non-Rel subunit of NF-κB. However, the detailed biological roles of RPS3 remain unclear. Here, we report for the first time that RPS3 is necessary for MM survival and drug resistance. RPS3 was highly expressed in MM, and knockout of RPS3 in MM inhibited cell growth and induced cell apoptosis both in vitro and in vivo. Overexpression of RPS3 mediated the proteasome inhibitor resistance of MM and delayed the survival of MM tumour-bearing animals. Moreover, our present study found an interaction between RPS3 and the thyroid hormone receptor interactor 13 (TRIP13), an oncogene related to MM tumorigenesis and drug resistance. We demonstrated that the phosphorylation of RPS3 was mediated by TRIP13 via PKCδ, which played an important role in activating the canonical NF-κB signalling and inducing cell survival and drug resistance in MM. Notably, the inhibition of NF-κB signalling by the small-molecule inhibitor targeting TRIP13, DCZ0415, was capable of triggering synergistic cytotoxicity when combined with bortezomib in drug-resistant MM. This study identifies RPS3 as a novel biomarker and therapeutic target in MM.
Effect of Movement Tempo During Resistance Training on Hypertrophy and Muscular Fitness: A Narrative Literature Review
Authors: Ersöz Yasin
Published: September 2023

Although many studies have demonstrated whether movement tempo, a training variable during resistance exercise, has an effect on muscle performance, there are still gray areas related to muscle hypertrophy and muscular fitness in different populations. The aim of this narrative systematic review was to investigate the effect of movement tempo on muscular performance such as maximal strength, skeletal muscle hypertrophy, muscle power and muscular endurance in resistance training performed at specific frequencies. Three electronic databases were searched using terms related to movement tempo and resistance training. The included studies were those published in English using randomized and non-randomized comparative dynamic resistance exercise interventions in healthy adults. The results suggest that changing the tempo of movement during resistance training may have an effect on muscle hypertrophy, but the results are not conclusive. There are conflicting research results, although faster tempos seem to be advantageous in terms of power outcomes at different movement tempos. More studies are needed to evaluate muscular endurance performance in terms of movement tempo. Differences in the size of the muscles studied, the structure of the training programs, and the standardization of the experimental approach and data collection tools used may partially explain the inconsistency in the results between tempos in different contraction phases or in the same contraction phases.

Authors: Özkan Zekiye
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to evaluate the school social behavior of students with special needs from the perspective of physical education and branch teachers. The school social behavior scale was used in this study. The study was carried out by scanning method. The school social behaviors of 218 students in secondary school were evaluated by both their physical education and branch teachers according to their course performances. When the findings obtained in the research were evaluated, no significant difference was detected in the total and sub-dimensions of students' social competence in physical education and branch courses (p>0.05). Students' antisocial behavior, hostile- irritable scores and antisocial-aggressive scores in the physical education course were found to be significantly lower than in other branch courses (p<0.05). No difference was detected in the demanding-disruptive (p>0.05). According to the gender variable, a significant difference was found in favor of female students in the total and sub-dimensions of social competence in both physical education and branch courses (p <0.05). While there was a significant difference in the total and sub-dimensions of social competence of the students participating in school activities in physical education and other branch courses (p <0.05), there was no significant difference in the total and sub-dimensions of antisocial behavior (p>0.05). As a result, it was determined that the school social behaviors of students with special needs were similar in physical education and branch classes. It has been determined that students who participate in school activities have more positive school social behaviors.
Précis: Interdisciplinary Foundations

Published: September 2023

In the following précis, I provide a summary of Interdisciplinary Foundations for the Science of Emotion. Much of what I say can be found in the “About the “Book” section of my book, although I provide some elaborations here. My summary focuses primarily on the central aim of the book, and the general strategy that I take in order to achieve my aim. What I present is a proposal for an interdisciplinary science of emotion. That proposal goes by the name of meta-semantic pluralisme, and a central principle of this proposal is what I refer to as the α-ωe principle. My summary includes chapter summaries, which provides not only a more detailed account of my general strategy, but also a summary of the fruitfulness of this first principle for interdisciplinary research and theorizing in the science of emotion, including the work it can do in the areas of metaphysics, language, consciousness, intentionality, rationality, and epistemology. Finally, one should note that some of the contents of this précis should also provide a response to at least some of the commentators’ requests for clarification, and I address the concerns not covered in this précis in my subsequent replies.
Moving cardio-oncology foward: the role of physical exercise on cardiovascular disease in breast cancer patients
Authors:   , Naaktgeboren Willeke Romanie
Published: September 2023

Exercise is an increasingly recognized effective strategy to counteract cancer-related symptoms, such as cancer-related fatigue, during and shortly after chemotherapy. However, if exercise during chemotherapy has lasting effects and thus translates to fewer sequelae years after treatment has received little attention. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is among the most prevalent yet burdensome late effects of cancer and its treatment. Evidence from animal studies almost unanimously indicates less anthracycline-associated cardiotoxicity in exercising animals than in controls. We hypothesize that accelerated cardiac chemotherapy clearance could underly exercise-mediated cardioprotection. Clinical studies were limited with small sample sizes and yielded mixed results. In a cohort of long-term breast cancer survivors, we found that higher physical activity levels were associated with better cardiac function. Results of the Pact-Paces-Heart study indicate that exercise and physical activity during chemotherapy for breast cancer were associated with better structural, but not functional, cardiac imaging parameters 8.5 years after treatment. A combined analysis of two previously performed randomized studies found that breast cancer patients with lower pre-treatment physical fitness were more likely not to complete chemotherapy as planned. This association was almost completely mitigated in patients randomized to the exercise program, while it was more pronounced in non-exercising patients. Cancer-related cognitive complaints are common in breast cancer patients treated with chemotherapy. We found that exercise during chemotherapy was not associated with better cognitive outcomes. Overall, the results of this thesis provide additional support for exercise as supportive care during cancer treatment. Future, prospectively designed exercise studies are needed to move the field of cardio-oncology forward.

Transmission line is the most important part of the power system. Transmission lines a principal amount of power. The requirement of power and its allegiance has grown up exponentially over the modern era, and the major role of a transmission line is to transmit electric power from the source area to the distribution network. The exploded between limited production and a tremendous claim has grown the focus on minimizing power losses. Losses like transmission loss and also conjecture factors as like as physical losses to various technical losses, Another thing is the primary factor it has a reactive power and voltage deviation are momentous in the long-range transmission power line. In essentially, fault analysis is a very focusing issue in power system engineering to clear fault in short time and re-establish power system as quickly as possible on very minimum interruption. However, the fault detection that interrupts the transmission line is itself challenging task to investigate fault as well as improving the reliability of the system. The transmission line is susceptible given all parameters that connect the whole power system. This paper presents a review of transmission line fault detection.

Published: September 2023

This paper delves into the realm of psychoanalytic analysis to explore the significance of the human touch in the short stories Kusum and the Riot by Khushwant Singh. Through a detailed examination of the characters, themes, and narrative structures in these two stories, this study aims to shed light on the profound psychological implications of physical touch and its impact on human behaviour. Drawing on Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory, this paper investigates how touch serves as a catalyst for emotional and psychological transformations in the lives of the characters. It explores the complexities of touch as an embodiment of love, desire, power, and violence, and how it influences the characters' relationships, self-perception, and actions. In Kusum, the narrative revolves around the eponymous protagonist and her emotional journey of self-discovery. By analyzing the significance of physical touch in Kusum's relationships with various individuals, including her husband, lover, and the eunuch, this paper uncovers the hidden desires, conflicts, and repressed emotions that shape her character. The Riot delves into the aftermath of a violent religious conflict and its impact on the lives of the characters. Through a psychoanalytic lens, this study examines the role of touch in the characters' responses to trauma, their attempts to heal, and their reestablishment of human connections amidst the chaos and despair of the riotstricken world. By employing a psychoanalytic framework, this term paper aims to unveil the underlying psychological motivations and effects of touch in these stories. The analysis of Kusum and The Riot offers valuable insights into the human psyche, providing a deeper understanding of the characters' behaviours, desires, and struggles within the context of Khushwant Singh's narrative world.

The injection of plastic materials while they are still melted, and finally the ejection of the components.
DEVELOPMENT OF MODIFIED CONSTANTFORCE COMPRESSION SLIDER MECHANISMS
Authors:   Federal University of Technology, Ugwuoke Ikechukwu Celestine
Published: September 2023

The original Constant-Force Compression Slider Mechanisms (CSMs) contain flexure hinges in the form of slender beams which degrades the performance of these CSMs at high values of required transverse stiffness. This work focused on the development of modified constantforce CSMs that will serve as a possible replacement for the original configurations possessing short-length flexural pivots in requiring higher values of transverse stiffness. This class of mechanisms also generate a constant output force over a wide range of slider input displacements. Based on the principle of Static Equivalence, a Generalized Mathematical Static Model (GMSM) was developed for all modified constant-force CSMs. Performance testing of the modified constant-force CSM shows a great improvement in transverse stiffness when compared with the original constant-force CSMs. Comparison between Class 1A-lppm and Class 1A-spp, between Class 1B-plpm and Class 1Bpsp, between Class 2A-llpm and Class 2A-ssp, between Class 2B-lplm and Class 2B-sps, and between Class 3Alllm and Class 3A-sss show an increase of 2291.90%, 2927.36%, 1007.08%, 2559.12%, and 443.97% respectively in the amount of constant-force. This class of modified constant-force CSMs is well-suited for applications requiring higher values of transverse stiffness.

Published: September 2023

Методики и технологии мониторинга зданий и сооружений, проблемы качества создаваемых объектов инфраструктуры и исключения рисков внедрения инженерных решений в области строительства требуют сегодня пересмотра нормативных, экологических, технологических, экономических и эстетических допусков и ограничений в принятии управленческих решений. Данный факт должен найти свое отражение в совершенствовании системы высшего профессионального образования при подготовке инженеров строительных направлений. Актуальность обращения к сущности и специфике процесса формирования инженерной проектности в условиях вуза определяется возрастающей потребностью современного общества в квалифицированном классе будущих инженеров-строителей, способных к разработке и гуманитарной экспертизе прорывных технологических проектов. В исследовании показано, что инженерная проектность как система профессионально-личностных качеств, как инструмент проектной деятельности и расширения творческих возможностей специалиста обеспечивает сферу реализации его профессиональных компетенций, гуманитарно-ценностных ориентиров инженерного мышления и экспертизы последствий применения технических разработок.

Жители современных городов ежедневно ощущают воздействие вибрации от городского транспорта (открытые или мелкого заложения линии метрополитена, трамваи, железнодорожный транспорт и т. д.). Снизить негативное воздействие вибрации на здоровье людей и строительные конструкции зданий можно посредством разнообразных систем защиты - виброизоляторов. Показаны преимущества применения виброизоляторов для улучшения самочувствия людей, а также влияние виброзащиты на технико-экономические показатели проектирования и строительства зданий и сооружений. Представлен расчет с использованием языка программирования Python резинометаллического виброизолятора, имеющего пять отверстий различного диаметра и без отверстий. Проведен сравнительный анализ собственных частот этих резинометаллических виброизоляторов. Построены конечно-элементные модели резинометаллического виброизолятора с отверстиями и без, а также проанализированы их характеристики. Результаты показывают, что виброизоляторы с несколькими симметрично расположенными сквозными отверстиями превосходят по ряду параметров виброизоляторы без отверстий. Следовательно, они могут применяться для виброизоляции зданий, особенно в случае отложенного монтажа виброзащиты.

Published: September 2023

Приведены результаты обзора отечественных и зарубежных научных исследований железобетонных конструктивных систем зданий в запредельных состояниях, вызванных особыми воздействиями. Установлено, что при большом разнообразии таких воздействий расчет, основывающийся на их конкретизации и нормировании, утрачивает свою эффективность и часто становится трудно реализуемой задачей. Поэтому наиболее перспективным представляется расчетный анализ, рассматривающий ситуационный подход, при котором в качестве особого воздействия производится удаление из расчетной схемы сооружения одной из несущих конструкций. Проанализированы расчетные ситуации и механизмы сопротивления железобетонных конструктивных систем при рассматриваемых воздействиях, применяемые подходы к оценке динамических эффектов в таких физически и конструктивно нелинейных системах, используемые критерии запредельных состояний, некоторые вероятностные подходы к прогнозированию живучести сооружений. Изложен численно-аналитический алгоритм расчета устойчивости железобетонных каркасов зданий квазистатическим методом при внезапных структурных перестройках, вызванных накопившимися при эксплуатации повреждениями и внезапными локальными разрушениями. При этом учтены нарушения сплошности бетонной матрицы при трещинообразовании и энергетические критерии для оценки устойчивости к прогрессирующему обрушению.

В статье обсуждаются вопросы расчета и проектирования железобетонных конструкций по параметрическим критериям (требованиям по эксплуатационной пригодности) как альтернативы применяемого до сего времени проектирования и расчета по предписывающим параметрам. Предписывающие требования определяют материалы и технологию производства работ. В отличие от них параметрические (эксплуатационные) описывают требуемые качественные характеристики конечного продукта, оставляя на выбор производителя работ материалы, дозирование, а также строительные средства и методы. Параметрические требования (по эксплуатационной пригодности) позволяют проектировщику, подрядчику и производителю применять более инновационные материалы с ориентацией на обеспечение качества проектируемого объекта на стадии эксплуатации как конечного продукта.
Lusaka: New Capital and the Imperial Garden City Movement
Authors: MacKenzie John M.
Published: September 2023

The colonial Garden City Movement represents the culmination of a whole sequence of relationships between botany and imperialism that had developed from the seventeenth century onwards, but particularly in the Victorian era. Botany was central to the transnationality of imperialism and botanical exploration while plant collecting fed into many Victorian phenomena in Britain which also had their colonial counterparts. These were intended to alleviate the social, environmental and medical evils of industrialism, providing a closer interaction between the rural and the urban. They included the creation of green belts, the founding of model villages, the emergence of municipal public parks and botanical gardens, and finally the garden city movement. By these means it was intended that industrial (and sometimes rural) workers should experience a healthier lifestyle, as well as a social uplift which would mitigate class conflict while also providing rational recreation. In the export of garden city ideas to the British Empire, there were additionally significant colonial precedents in street tree planting and in the beautification movement of the Victorian era and early twentieth century. This article specifically focuses upon the translation of aspects of this garden city movement and of these other influences into the creation of the new capital of Lusaka in Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) in the twentieth century and the manner in which a great diversity of both indigenous and exotic plants were used to express the idealistic characteristics of this urban development while also reflecting the social and racial norms inherent in the colonial relationship.
Framing ‘Normalcy’: Windows, Liminality, and Crime in Patricia Highsmith’s The Cry of the Owl
Authors: Lance Snyder Robert
Published: September 2023

Patricia Highsmith deploys the iconography of windows in The Cry of the Owl (1962) to indicate sites of liminality whereby she questions what constitutes ‘normalcy’ in mid-twentieth-century America. When protagonist Robert Forester, formerly of New York City, peers clandestinely into the kitchen window of Jenny Thierolf’s rural house near Langley, Pennsylvania, he projects a tableau of domestic tranquility far different than his own tortured life. As their relationship progresses, however, his solipsism becomes apparent, while Highsmith simultaneously exposes the criminality that local residents are willing to condone when confronted with an outsider. The deceptive optics of ‘normalcy,’ in conjunction with specular imagery, is traceable in Highsmith’s other works as well, reinforcing one critic’s observation about ‘the heavily compromised, even reversible binary opposition of deviance and the norm’ in her fiction.
Limits of Empire: The Jazīran North before the Tenth Century
Authors: Hagemann Hannah-Lena
Published: September 2023

This article traces the history of the northern Jazīra in the early Islamic period, from the beginning of Umayyad rule until the 870s. It reviews the material and written evidence for this territory, using as case studies the main cities of Āmid, Mayyāfāriqīn, and Arzan. It argues that there is little evidence for a systematic integration of the Jazīran north into the imperial fabric before the (re-)establishment of caliphal authority over this region at the end of the ninth century, a process that culminated in the creation of the provincial subdivision of Diyār Bakr around the mid-tenth century. The paper suggests that the history of the Jazīran north in the early Islamic period should be studied with reference to its Armenian connection: the entire region had strong historical ties to Armenia that carried over at least partially into the Islamic period. Approaching the north from a Jazīran as well as Armenian perspective thus improves our understanding of the complex and understudied history of this region before the tenth century.
Sicily and Southern Italy: A Long-Lasting Byzantine Multilingualism
Authors: Rognoni Cristina
Published: September 2023

The aim of this paper is to examine the literary and documentary sources produced in the ninth- and tenth-century border contexts of Sicily and Apulia, two western regions still central to imperial policy at the time. The former between Byzantium and Islam, and the latter almost reconquered by Latin Lombards, these regions appear as an excellent field for revisiting the Greek-speaking turn of the empire in the middle centuries. The monolingualism of the state was adapted to the plurilingualism of society by means of various strategies that ensured a long western history for Byzantine Hellenism.
Speaking Persian in Byzantium
Authors: Shukurov Rustam
Published: September 2023

The earliest instances of Byzantine interest for the New Persian language date from the ninth century. The most notable example is provided by Photios who was especially curious about the Persian roots of Greek words. However, in the eighth-to-eleventh centuries, the knowledge of Persian was not common among the Greeks. The situation changed in the second half of the thirteenth century, when the practical knowledge of foreign languages spread outside the small circle of professional scholars and diplomats and became rather common among the native Byzantines. The status of the Persian language increased dramatically for two reasons: first, because of the rise of the political and cultural prestige of Anatolian Muslims in Byzantine eyes; and secondly, due to the rediscovery of Persian science by the Byzantines.
Byzantine Translations from Arabic into Greek: Old and New Historiography in Confluence and in Conflict
Authors: Mavroudi Maria
Published: September 2023

Scholarly demand to re-evaluate underappreciated cultures has grown since the 1980s. This generated a call to re-write the nineteenth-century narrative on the transmission of knowledge from the ancient Near East to the Graeco-Roman, Islamic, Western medieval, and early modern European world. The paper surveys the modern study of Byzantine translations from Arabic into Greek in order to propose a new narrative frame, no longer linear but attentive to continuous and bi-directional contact between medieval civilisations. The paper offers the contact between Byzantium and various parts of the Islamic world as an example. It discusses the presumed insularity of Byzantine literary culture and its relationship with ancient Greek literary heritage. Problems of dating, localising, and socially contextualising the translations (through information on their authors and patrons) are also examined.
Black lives and peripatetic practice in Sylvia Townsend Warner’s Summer Will Show and David Garnett’s The Sailor’s Return
Authors: Schwab-Graham Milena
Published: September 2023

David Garnett’s The Sailor’s Return (1925) and Sylvia Townsend Warner’s Summer Will Show (1936) are highly significant for their engagement with Black characters’ walking practice, which becomes a means to explore, and circumscribe, their subjectivity. Garnett and Warner use the physical act of walking to examine their imbrication, as white, English writers, with the haunting legacies of enslavement and empire. The essay offers a reading of Tulip Gundemey in The Sailor’s Return and Caspar Rathbone in Summer Will Show to reveal how their peripatetic practice is imbued with negative, racialised affect, which is instrumental to each novel’s tragic conclusion. This in turn reiterates the complexity of Garnett and Warner’s ambivalent responses to racism and imperialism in their fiction, which are exacerbated by their positionality as white, Bloomsbury-affiliated writers active during the inter-war period.
The Three-Self Model, Christ’s Headship and Christian Unity: Bengali Christians Seeking and Reforming the Nineteenth-Century Indigenous Church Ideal
Authors: Burbank Ray
Published: September 2023

This article focuses on the nineteenth-century Protestant missionary ideal of an indigenous church, particularly in its articulation by missionaries of the Free Church of Scotland, and how three Bengali Christians connected to the Free Church endeavoured to reform the ecclesial ideal for North Indian contexts. The study seeks to show how the Western origins of the indigenous church ideal, commonly summarised in the ‘three-self’ model and supported by the Free Church’s doctrine of Christ’s headship, was received and reappropriated by the ‘native’ Christians for whom the ideal was intended. The Bengali Christian engagement with the indigenous church ideal is shown to be both consistently Protestant in its appeal to the church’s spiritual independence and uniquely contextualized to Indian contexts in its focused pursuit of Christian unity.
Liquidity and Stillness: The Sea and Shore and the Furo in Kore-eda Hirokazu’s Cinema
Authors: Su Yue
Published: September 2023

This paper focuses on two recurring cinematic spaces of water: the sea and shore and the furo (Japanese bathroom) in the films of the contemporary Japanese auteur Kore-eda Hirokazu. 1 To develop a somatechnical perspective to address the dynamics between water, bodies and technologies, I deploy the notion of ‘the domestication of water’ ( Macauley 2005 ), denoting the process of how humans make a constant effort to maintain water in a state between liquidity and stillness. This lived interaction between humans and water can illuminate the leitmotif of kinship through the two cinematic spaces. In so doing, I firstly focus on the final shots of the sea and shore from Maborosi (1995) and Our Little Sister (2015). The mise-en-scène of the sea and the shore can create a vision of stillness on the surface but also a sense of liquidity underneath, illustrating that kinship is an ongoing process which can never be shaped but is constantly being re-shaped. Following the flow of water, I then observe the space of the furo in Still Walking (2008) and Like Father, Like Son (2013). By examining two bath routines, co-bathing with children and bathing-in-turn, I argue that the water in furo is by no means in a still state but rather is always circulating between different bodies. The circulation can not only help nurture the parent-child intimacy through co-bathing, but it also enables a theatrical stage on which to convey conflicts of kinship via bathing-in-turn. In conclusion, by further linking the representation of water and kinship in Kore-eda’s cinema, I propose the idea of liquid kinship: a lived process of making rather than a static state of being. The domestication of water between stillness and liquidity epitomises this liquid form of kinship.

Published: September 2023

This study was conducted out in the southern Black Sea coastal zone, in 2011-2016 fishing seasons. In the study, bycatch of sturgeons and cetaceans were examined both in small scale (turbot gillnets) and large scale (trawlers) fisheries. During the fishing operations within the study, 66 sturgeons (41 Danube sturgeon - Acipenser gueldenstaedtii and 25 starry sturgeon - Acipenser stellatus) and 49 cetaceans (40 harbor porpoises - Phocoena phocoena relicta and 9 short beaked dolphin - Delphinus delphis ponticus) were captured. Length-weight relationships of Danube sturgeon and starry sturgeon were determined as W=0.0123L2.8808 (R=0.9964, negative allometric growth) and W=0.0345L2.5351 (R=0.9961, negative allometric growth), respectively. Mean total length were calculated as 60.02±1.04 cm for Danube sturgeons, 46.42±1.17 cm for starry sturgeon and mean fork length were established as 126.75±3.36 cm for harbor porpoises, 163.74±1.42 cm for short beaked dolphins in the study.
SAĞLIK TURİZMİ GELİRLERİ VE EKONOMİK BÜYÜME İLİŞKİSİNİN FOURIER YAKLAŞIMI İLE AMPİRİK OLARAK İNCELENMESİ
Authors: TUTGUN Seyhun , KÜNÇ Soner
Published: September 2023

Sağlık turizmi, kişinin zihin ve beden sağlığını korumak, geliştirmek veya yenilemek için yerel çevresi dışında organize seyahat etmesi olarak ifade edilmektedir. Özellikle son yıllarda dünyada yaşanan COVID-19 salgını ve Rusya-Ukrayna savaşından dolayı küresel üretim ve tedarik zincirinde ciddi sorunlar yaşanmaktadır. Bu sorunlar, özellikle az gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde birçok sektörde derinden hissedilirken, sağlık turizmi sektörü de yaşanan olaylardan olumsuz etkilenmiştir. Seyahat kısıtlamaları ve güvenlik gerekçesiyle uluslararası hareketliliğin azalması sağlık turizmi gelirlerinin düşmesine yol açmıştır. Mevsimsel etkilerin yaşanmadığı sağlık turizmi, Türkiye gibi dünyanın en önemli sağlık turizmi destinasyonlarından birinde, döviz girdisi yoluyla ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu etkileyebilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, özellikle dünyadaki en önemli sağlık turizmi destinasyonlardan biri olan Türkiye’de, sağlık turizminin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. 2012Q1-2022Q4 yılları arası çeyreklik zaman serisi verisinin kullanıldığı çalışmada, uzun dönemli ilişkinin varlığını ortaya koymak için Yılancı, Bozoklu ve Gorus (2020) tarafından geliştirilen Fourier Bootstrap ARDL yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca parametre katsayı tahminleri için En Küçük Kareler yöntemi (OLS) ve Tam Modifiye Edilmiş En Küçük Kareler (FMOLS) yöntemleri uygulanmıştır. Bulgularımız, uzun dönemli ilişkinin varlığını ortaya koyarken, sağlık turizm gelirinde yaşanan artışların ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu yönde etkilediğini göstermiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında, sağlık turizmi alanındaki gelişmeleri dikkate alan ve bu alana yatırım yapan ülkelerin gelecekte ülke refahını arttırıcı unsurlar arasında sağlık turizm gelirlerinden önemli pay alacakları öngörülmektedir.
