The inner bay of Izmir is known as the part between Sasalı/Karşıyaka coastline and Güzelbahçe/Bayraklı. It is used extensively in transportation. There is constant ferry transportation and an international port operates in this region. There are also a few streams that flow into the inner bay. Therefore, the inner bay can be exposed to continuous chemical pollutants, and these wastes can intensively be observed in its natural structure. In this study, the magnetic susceptibility values and elemental analyses of the samples taken from the surface sea waters of the inner bay coastline were performed. Silicon, strontium, and manganese elements were mostly observed in the samples. The greatest susceptibility values were seen in the Bostanlı ferry port and Göztepe ferry. In addition, the standard deviation and correlation coefficient values of the samples were calculated and discussed. According to the correlation coefficient value, it can be said that there is a positive correlation between metal ion ratios and magnetic susceptibility.

Mycoplasma often contaminates eukaryotic cell cultures. Determining Mycoplasma cell viability is important when evaluating the cellular response to drug treatment. One method to test cell viability is using a membrane-impermeant nucleic acid dye that is generally excluded from viable cells.

Since 1939, when they first appeared in comic books, Batman and his antagonists have fascinated spectators with their endless drama. How can we understand the longevity of these characters in popular culture and the enthusiasm of the audience? Using a qualitative methodology informed by object relations theory and film analysis, the authors indicate that the drama enfolding on the cinema screen mirrors the depressive dynamics taking place in the inner word of the viewer who, by watching the movie, can master or, at least, keep at bay the terrifying conflicts between fragments of his ego represented by Batman, Joker, and Bane. In Gotham City, like in everyone's inner personality, the human conflicts related to dependency, loss, mourning, and change are always present.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) enhance plant performance through improved nutrient acquisition, stress resilience, and pathogen resistance while strengthening ecosystem functions through soil structure stabilization and carbon sequestration. Livestock grazing is the dominant grassland land-use globally, but the effects of increased grazing intensity on AMF remain debated. Importantly, the mechanistic drivers of AMF responses to grazing intensity remain poorly understood, particularly in arid grasslands.

Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have a detrimental impact on the carbon sequestration by the oceans. Pteropods, a crucial component of the ocean's planktic community, secrete aragonite shells that are sensitive to increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide levels, making them the first indicators of ocean acidification. Therefore, pteropods are often used to observe the changes in aragonite compensation depth (ACD).

The efficient recognition and removal of apoptotic cells and extracellular vesicles (EVs) by phagocytes is critical to prevent secondary necrosis and maintain tissue homeostasis. Such detection involves receptors and bridging molecules that recognize aminophospholipids-normally restricted to the inner leaflet of healthy cells-which become exposed on the surface of dead cells and the vesicles they produce. A majority of studies focus on phosphatidylserine (PS), for which there are well-established receptors that either bind to the lipid directly or indirectly via intermediary proteins.
