“…The network analysis method provides a different perspective for these recent studies' interpretation and visual expression. In addition, network analysis, which is widely used in social sciences, has, in recent years, been applied to data in the field of livestock, since it can visualize the relationship between variables (2,(35)(36)(37).…”

Recently, Turkey has seen significant increases in animal-source foods and related raw material prices. These recent increases in prices have made it even more important to examine the prices of animal-source foods and their associated factors. This study aimed to reveal the pattern network structure and characteristics of the prices of animal-source foods and related variables for the 2010-2020 period in Turkey. To this end, a network analysis covered the prices of animal-source foods, raw material prices used in producing these foods, and some economic variables. The study results revealed that Producer Price Index (PPI) and Agricultural PPI are key variables that are highly active in the network and act as a bridge between other unconnected variables. In addition, the results of the analysis suggest that the overall network consists of highly correlated variables and that the PPI and Agricultural PPI are the two most important variables. As a result, the pattern network structure shows that economic variables have a high impact on the prices of animal-source foods. The network structure visualizes Turkey's import-substitution model in animal production and foreign dependency on feed raw materials and the market structure affected by high exchange rates. In addition, as can be understood from the positive connections between feed raw materials, the pattern network of the variables affecting the prices of animal-source foods is largely shaped by feed prices and the internal dynamics of economic variables.

Introduction: Functional neurological disorders (FND) is one of the most common causes of neuropathy, However, its cause continues to be mysterious. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of FND is crucial for treatment strategies. The study was conducted on brain images(rs-fMRI) taken from two volunteers (FND patient and healthy subject) who had the same characteristics. Method: We fitted Gaussian Graphical Models to a single subject data using network approach. Results: Based on the results of the networks, the number of significant edges was more in the left hemisphere in the patient, but in the healthy person, the number of these non-zero edges was more in the right hemisphere. Both the networks related to the healthy person and the patient had high density. Therefore, it indicated that the regions considered by these 2 people were strongly related to each other. The results showed the existence of more links and positive relationships between the regions, most of which showed a strong relationship. Among these connections, there were also negative connections. The networks of the healthy participant with almost symmetrical structures and the patient with FND showed different characteristics, including asymmetry between the hemispheres. Conclusion: this study is the first to demonstrate that the brain regions of both FND patient and healthy participant can be conceptualized as networks. The findings of this study add to a growing body of literature that FND patient brain regions can be analyzed using network approaches.

This study was aimed to conduct a meta-analysis to determine the seroprevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey. A systematic literature search was conducted using the Medline/PubMed, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Scopus databases to identify studies reporting the seroprevalence of L. monocytogenes in dairy products. The search was conducted using the following keywords: (“ice cream” or “curd” or “cream” or “cheese” or “butter” or “yoğurt” or “dairy” or “milk”) and (“Listeriosis” or “Listeria monocytogenes” or “Listeria”) and (“Turkiye” or “Turkey”) and (“seropositivity” or “seroprevalence” or “prevalence”). A comprehensive meta-analysis included a total of 4766 dairy products from the 27 studies. The overall molecular prevalence of Listeria monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey was estimated to be 7.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.7-10.7%). The I2 value of 93.5% (CI95%91.6–95.0) suggested high heterogeneity, with a τ2 of 3.4422 (CI95%-1.7091–8.5936), and an X2 statistic of 399.2 (P < 0.0001). In conclusion, this meta-analysis reveals a significant seroprevalence of L. monocytogenes in dairy products in Turkey. The findings highlight the need for improved control measures to minimize the risk of contamination and ensure consumer safety. By implementing rigorous hygiene practices, enhancing monitoring systems, and promoting collaborative efforts between industry and regulatory bodies, the dairy sector in Turkey can effectively mitigate the risks associated with L. monocytogenes and maintain high standards of food safety.
