A novel phase-oriented treatment approach for dissociative identity disorder comorbid with major depressive disorder and somatization: A case report
(Elsevier, 2026) Ergül, Hümeyra; Uysal, Burcu; Acartürk, Ceren; Yanık, Medaim; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Psikoloji Bölümü
Background: The phase-oriented treatment approach is the widely recommended approach for Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID); however, evidence for brief, intensive outpatient delivery remains limited. This case report describes an intensive, time-limited, phase-oriented intervention in a client with DID comorbid with major depressive disorder and prominent somatic symptoms. Methods: Following an initial clinical interview conducted according to DSM-5 diagnostic criteria and informed by information from a first-degree relative, a 41-year-old woman received an intensive outpatient phase-oriented treatment model across 17 sessions delivered over nine closely spaced days (two consecutive 50-minute sessions per treatment day; total 100 min). Symptom change was evaluated at baseline and at a 45-day follow-up using the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES) and relevant subscales of the Dissociative Disorders Interview Schedule (DDIS). Long-term clinical follow-up was documented at 2, 3, and 8 years. Results: Dissociative symptoms decreased substantially from baseline (DES = 31.43) to the 45-day follow-up (DES = 6.07). On the DDIS depression subscale, endorsed items decreased from 9/9 at baseline to 1/9 at 45 days; on the somatic symptoms subscale, endorsed items decreased from 20/39 at baseline to 6/39 at 45 days. The reduction in somatic complaints was considered to have occurred in parallel with the integration of alternate identities characterized by pain and bodily distress. At the 8-year follow-up, despite experiencing several significant losses and stress, the DES score went up to 25, with some increases in the DDIS depression (5/9) and somatic symptoms (14/39) subscales, but still stayed below the initial levels of dissociation, depression, and somatic symptoms. Conclusions: This case suggests that an intensive, time-limited, phase-oriented model may be feasible and associated with clinically meaningful short-term symptom reduction in DID with depressive and somatic features. Long-term follow-up indicates that gains may be broadly maintained yet sensitive to major stressors. Further systematic research is warranted.
Building economically robust, technologically advanced, and environmentally sustainable higher education institutions: A glimpse into the case of a Turkish private university
(CRC Press, 2026) Rahman, Mahfoozur; Bulut, Mehmet Akın; Yurdunkulu, Adem; Eğitim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Rehberlik ve Psikolojik Danışmanlık Bölümü
The global rise in student enrollment rates in higher education, growing from 100 million in 2000 to approximately 250 million in 2020, underpins an urgent need for sustainable academic ecosystems. The challenge with sustainability in tertiary education comes with financial, technological, and environmental setbacks. This qualitative case study explores the good practices in sustainability of Ibn Haldun University, a foundation university in Istanbul, Turkiye, to explore how young institutions can tackle such sophisticated demands. Despite broader systemic dilemmas such as a lack of competent faculty members, limited financial resources, a deficiency in infrastructure, and unsatisfactory environmental sensitivity across many universities, Ibn Haldun University displays promising strategies. These include diversification in financial resources, comprehensive initiatives in digital transformation, and alignment with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Through strategic academic centers within the institution, innovation hubs, and technology-integrated teaching, the university sets an example of a multi-perspective approach to sustainability. The findings emphasize the pivotal role of diversification in funds, proactive technology adoption, and state-of-the-art environmental initiatives in ensuring a lasting and persistent position. This research adds to the literature on the sustainability of foundation universities and suggests policy recommendations for education authorities at a local and global scale. By showcasing a replicable model of sustainable higher education, this study offers a roadmap for HEIs, particularly in developing nations, that are seeking to sustain financial, technological, and environmental robustness.
Online political training in exile: Al Sharq Academia platform
(Berghahn Books, 2026) Abdelhamid, Elsayed E.; Affan, Mohammad
I have been following the courses of Al Sharq Academia (SA) since 2017, when I started to look for opportunities to learn social sciences in Egypt alongside my BA degree in translation at Al-Azhar Islamic University in Cairo. As quality social science education in Egypt is privatized and not accessible to many (in terms of linguistic, geographical and economic barriers, to mention a few), I found SA an example speaking to my need. Through time, I developed an interest in pedagogical initiatives that (aspire to) practise decolonization, in the descriptive, pragmatic sense of the word. This interview is an attempt to shed light on the politics and problematics of producing and teaching online political content with the aim of working on gradual long-term ‘democratic’ change in contemporary Al Sharq region. Dr Affan refers geopolitically to the Middle East as the Al Sharq region, and uses the term in a cultural sense when referring to Islamic civilization. Taking Al Sharq Academia as an example, what interests me here regarding its work is to show a case of how the academia’s team, represented here by Dr Affan, circumvented many of the challenges they faced in trying to translate political activism and aspirations for democratic change into a platform that channels the complexities of what the political might mean, in the current postcolonial, post-Arab Revolution context...
Appearance-profile fixation and twin-earth arguments against high-levelism
(Springer Nature, 2026) Başoğlu, Yavuz Recep
High-levelism about perceptual experience holds that experience presents not only low-level features such as colour and shape, but also high-level properties such as natural and artefact kinds. Twin-Earth-style arguments are widely taken to threaten this liberal view: they are supposed to show that Twin-Earth cases involve only low- or mid-level ‘looks’, rather than differences in kind-representing phenomenology. A familiar high-levelist reply weakens the link between phenomenal character and phenomenal content, allowing phenomenal duplicates to differ in which high-level properties they represent. In this paper, I argue that this argument tacitly relies on a bridging principle I call Appearance-Profile Fixation (APF): sameness of a coarse, image-based appearance profile suffices for sameness of high-level phenomenology. First, I reconstruct Twin-Earth arguments so as to make APF explicit and motivate it by appeal to the gist literature in vision science. Second, drawing on a Structural-Fit Lemma for phenomenal spaces and a ‘fake pine’ case, I show that APF is hard to reconcile with robust forms of high-levelism even on a weak notion of phenomenal content. Third, using high-levelists’ own interpretations of bistable displays, Mooney faces, rapid-scene categorisation, and appearance-matched metamers, I argue that high-level phenomenology can vary while the relevant appearance profile is held fixed. The upshot is that the dialectical force of Twin-Earth arguments against high-levelism depends on a substantive, yet optional, thesis about cross-world phenomenal pairing that high-levelists have independent reason to reject.
The “Reduced Inequalities” Sustainable Development Goal in OIC: Inequality of income distribution, measures of subjective well-being using ordinal data
(Emerald Publishing, 2026) Mohammed Alzanganee, Shlair A.; Vergil, Hasan; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
The 10th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, aims to reduce inequalities globally by 2030. Significant efforts are being made to address economic disparity and the uneven distribution of income internationally. Nevertheless, recent reports indicate that further substantial action is required in developing regions to ensure the successful achievement of the SDGs. In recent decades, the rate of advancement in developing nations has proven inadequate. This slow progress is insufficient to reach the goals by the year 2030. It is essential to accelerate this progress, especially in the member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). Access to timely, reliable, and readily available data is also critical for monitoring the progress of SDG implementation. The challenges faced by statistical systems in developing countries hinder effective tracking of SDGs progress. The limitations in statistical capabilities and the absence of trustworthy data in OIC nations complicate this task even further.
