At the edge of Europe
Background: The Balkan–Anatolian corridor is a key but understudied route of Late Pleistocene hominin dispersal. Inkaya Cave (Çanakkale, Türkiye), discovered in 2016, provides the first stratified and radiometrically dated occupation sequence from northwestern Anatolia, spanning approximately 86,000–22,000 years BP. Objective: This study presents the preliminary findings of systematic excavations at Inkaya Cave, examining lithic technological org…

Improved social integration shapes female body composition in Turkish migrants
Background: Turkish migrants in Western Europe exhibit higher adiposity than both host-country populations and non-migrant Turks, yet the role of host-country institutional environments remains poorly understood. European nations differ substantially in their integration policy frameworks – Germany pursues an integration-oriented approach encouraging participation in host institutions, while the Netherlands has historically emphasised multicultur…

Lardan Günümüze İç Anadolu Bölgesi̇nde Menarş Yaşinda Görülen Deği̇şi̇m
Büyümenin ve olgunlaşmanın takip edilebilmesi, çocuk ve ergenlerin sağlıklı gelişimi için büyük önem taşımaktadır. Menarş yaşı da genç kızlarda olgunlaşmanın takibi açısından çok önemli bir belirteçtir. Bu takibin yapılmasında genellikle uluslararası standartlar kullanmaktır. Bölgesel ve etnik farkları göz önünde bulundurduğumuzda, her toplumun kendi referans değerlerinin belirlenmesi ve güncel tutulması gerekmektedir. Ülkemizde bölgesel olarak d…
Peer relations linking overweight and obesity, and mediator factors among Turkish adolescents
Depending on the individual's body height and frame structure and body weight, obesity is considered both as a socially accepted norm in a society and as exceeding the accepted upper limits. The present study aimed to determine the associations between overweight and obesity, peer relationships, and nutritional and physical activity behaviour among Turkish adolescents. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Ankara, and the sample consisted of 4…
Adölesanlarda Boy ve Ağırlık Ölçümleri İle Özbildirimlerin Karşılaştırılması
Boy ve ağırlığa ilişkin veriler; yüz yüze görüşme, postayla yoluyla, internet üzerinden yapılan anketle veya telefonla sorgulama gibi farklı biçimlerde elde edilebilmektedir. Ancak bahsi geçen bu değişkenler bireylerin beden algılarından büyük oranda etkilenebilmektedir. Ülkemizde adölesanlar üzerinde özbildirime dayalı boy ve ağırlık ölçülerinin doğruluğunu ve geçerliliğini konu alan çalışma sayısı oldukça sınırlıdır. Araştırmanın amacı, adölesa…
