Staging concept for aging management: Definition, mechanism, and coping strategies

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
We divided the overall aging stage into “pre‐aging”, “aging compensation”, and “aging disability”. For each stage, we delineate the clinical presentations, biological phenomena, theoretical underpinnings, and key management priorities. Abstract Aging, as a gradual and largely irreversible biological process, characterized by declining organismal ...

DECOLONIZING CREATIVE GEOGRAPHIES OF ART BIENNIALS: A Study of Istanbul's Yeditepe Biennial through the Cultural Politics of Turkish Islamic Nationalism

open access: yesInternational Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines the Yeditepe Biennial—Turkey's first Islamic and traditional arts biennial—as a creative festival shaped by the socio‐political and spatial dynamics of Turkish‐Islamist nationalism. Counterposed against the Istanbul Biennial and the Western‐oriented secular cultural legacy of the Turkish Republic, the Yeditepe Biennial ...
