Workplace bullying is conceptualized as a systematic exposure to harassing behavior accompanied by feelings of defenselessness. Yet, most research has solely focused on exposure, thereby ignoring the role of defenselessness regarding victimization from bullying. Using a person-centered approach, this cross-sectional study addresses this gap by investigati ...

Pyrrole derivatives are natural organic molecules that are important to the pharmaceutical industry due to their occurrence in nature and their use in a wide range of medical applications. In general, non-symmetric, 1,2,5-triaryl-substituted pyrroles are prepared either by Paal-Knorr condensation or cycloaddition that present synthetic challenges particul ...

Developing advanced functional materials requires the synergistic integration of nanoscale reinforcements with tailored properties. In this work, composite films of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs), cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) were synthesized using a combination of solution casting, high shear homogenization, vacuum filtra ...

As a response to aging of cultured urease-producing microorganisms, the blending method was examined to obtain the required carbonate production amount using the apparent viability (Rcv) based on previous research. As a result, a significantly higher carbonate content than the amount of CaCl2 2H2O used was produced. Since this trend has been obtained in p ...

Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP)-reinforced concrete beams are increasingly used in infrastructure, yet their flexural behavior under fatigue and harsh environmental conditions remains insufficiently studied. This study investigates the fatigue response and structural behavior of 12 glass-FRP (GFRP)-reinforced concrete beams under four environmental regimes ...

Bilingual children regularly hear sentences that contain words from both languages, also known as code-switching. Investigating how bilinguals process code-switching is a crucial component in understanding bilingual language acquisition, because young bilinguals experience processing costs and reduced comprehension when encountering code-switched nouns. S ...

Neural topic models (NTMs) based on variational autoencoders (VAEs) have emerged as a scalable and flexible alternative to classical probabilistic models for uncovering latent thematic structures in text corpora. However, most existing NTMs either overlook the geometric structure of word embeddings or rely on Euclidean priors that are poorly aligned with ...
