(CZECH ACADEMY AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES, 2017) Türkölmez, Şahimerdan; Derviş, Sibel
Crown and root rot, caused by the Oomycete pathogen Phytophthora palmivora, has become a destructive disease of apricot and cherry in eastern Turkey. There are no currently registered fungicides labeled for its control. In greenhouse experiments conducted in 2012 and 2013, 1-year-old potted apricot rootstock Zerdali and cherry rootstock Mahaleb plants were treated either with foliar spray of fosetyl-Al (140, 160, and 180 g a.i./100 l) or phosphorous acid (187.5, 200, and 215 g a.i./100 l) or soil drench of 100 ml of metalaxyl-M (= mefenoxam)+mancozeb (12+192, 16+256, and 20+320 g a.i./100 l) one day after wound inoculation of crowns and roots. In both years, phosphorous acid at 200 and 215 g a.i./100 l, fosetyl-Al at 160 and 180 g a.i./100 l, and metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 20+320 g a.i./100 l significantly reduced the root rot severity on Zerdali by 70.68-80.00% and crown rot severity on both Zerdali and Mahaleb, by 68.32-91.96 and 74.21-82.60%, respectively, compared with phosphorous acid at 187.5 g a.i./100 l, fosetyl-Al at 140 g a.i./100 l, metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 12+192 and 16+256 g a.i./100 l and control. Moreover, fosetyl-Al at 180 g a.i./100 l and metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 20+320 g a.i./100 l significantly reduced the root rot severity on Mahaleb compared to fosetyl-Al at 140 and 160 g a.i./100 l, metalaxyl-M+mancozeb at 12+192 and 16+256 g a.i./100 l, phosphorous acid treatments and control in 2012, providing the best control of the disease by 88.00-90.68%. Two/three phosphorous acid foliar applications at 200 g a.i./100 l suppressed symptom development when field applications were made on a curative basis in 2014 and 2015.

(Soc Argentina Pediatria, 2024) Talay, Mehmet N.; Gungor, Emre; Orhan, Ozhan
Introduction : Cyanide poisoning, whether it be accidental or intentional, remains a significant danger to adults and children, especially in societies where agriculture is a primary source of income. We examined the clinical follow-up, complications, and results of cyanide poisoning cases that occurred after eating the pits and seeds of plants containing cyanide glycosides, such as apricot kernels and almonds. Methods : Between 01/01/2017 and 01/08/2022, 14 children aged 1-18 years who were followed up with a prediagnosis of cyanide poisoning in our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) were retrospectively analysed. Results : Eight of the patients followed with a preliminary diagnosis of cyanide poisoning were female and six were male. The most common admission month was July (42.8%) coinciding with the agricultural season. The most common symptoms at presentation were weakness and fatigue (n = 7). In the PICU, 4 patients presented lip cyanosis; 3, altered level of consciousness. Vomiting, seizure, headache, dizziness and palpitatons were less frequent. Four patients were treated with hydroxocobalamin (Cyanokit (R) ) as an antidote due to acidosis in their blood gases. All patients treated for cyanide poisoning were discharged. Conclusions : Cyanide poisoning should be considered in paediatric patients with suspicious findings, sudden loss of consciousness, increased anion gap acidosis and lactic acidosis. The history of eating the seeds of plants such as apricot and almonds should be investigated .

(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2024) Tilkat, Engin; Jahan, Israt; Hoser, Ayse; Kaplan, Alevcan; Ozdemir, Oguzhan; Onay, Ahmet
The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was the cause of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19), commonly known as the coronavirus pandemic. Since December 2020, COVID-19 vaccines have been extensively administered in numerous countries. In addition to new antiviral medications, the treatment regimen encompasses symptom management. Despite sustained research efforts, the outbreak remains uncontrolled, with affected patients still lacking proper treatment. This review is a valuable asset for researchers and practitioners aiming to delve into the yet unexplored potential of Anatolian flora in the fight against COVID-19 and other viral infections. Numerous medicinal plants in Anatolia, such as thyme, sage, cannabis, oregano, licorice root, and Origanum sp., contain bioactive compounds with proven antiviral properties that have been used in the region for centuries. The rich legacy of traditional Anatolian medicine (TAM), has significantly influenced modern medicine; thus, the profusion of medicinal plants native to Anatolia holds promise for antiviral drug development, making this review essential for researchers and practitioners.
Animal Remains of Alaybeyi Hoyuk
(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2019) Siddiq, Abu Bakar
This paper presents the zooarchaeological observations on animal remains of Alaybeyi Hoyuk unearthed from 2016 and 2017 excavation sessions. Dated to 4721-4553 cal. BC, Alaybeyi stands so far as the oldest archaeological settlement discovered in northeast Anatolia. Therefore, the faunal assemblage at Alaybeyi offers great opportunity to study the status of animals and their relationships with humans in the largely unexplored Kars-Erzurum plateau covering a period from the Chalcolithic to Late Iron Age. Taxonomic and osteometric analyses show that, like the present day, cattle were dominant over caprines, revealing extensive cattle pastoralism in the region for at least about 7 millennia. While caprines too were significant in the subsistence strategy of local humans, there was not any sign of raising pigs. Significant numbers of wild species including carnivores, aquatic mammals, and rodents, as well as resident and migratory birds, were also hunted by Alaybeyi people. Additionally, horse burials, horse cult, dog burials, and a rich number of dog bones present animals as versatile actors in various ritual and symbolic practices at the site.

APPLICATION OF EXERGOECONOMIC ANALYSIS FOR POWER PLANTS
(VINCA INST NUCLEAR SCI, 2018) Unal, Fatih; Ozkan, Derya Burcu
Currently, energy resources are rapidly consumed. Therefore, scientists and engineers study the effective use of energy. In the present study, a thermodynamic and exergoeconomic analysis was performed in a thermal power plant in Turkey. The study involved determining the thermodynamic properties of 27 node points in a thermal power plant unit, and this was followed by calculating energy and exergy values of every node. Mean exergy costs were calculated by establishing energy and exergy balances of the equipment with respect to the calculated results. Subsequently, lost and damaged energies and exergies were calculated, and exergoeconomic factors were determined. The equipments were compared with each other on a graph based on the obtained results. The maximum rate of exergy loss and cost of exergy destruction corresponded to 79.5% and 886,66 $/h, respectively. The maximum exergy losses in a thermal power plant occurred in the boiler, turbine groups, condenser, heating group, pumps, and auxiliary groups. The highest and second highest law efficiencies of the studied thermal power plant corresponded to 32.3% and 28.5%, respectively. The study also involved presenting suggestions for improvement. Additionally, exergoeconomic analyses were conducted while considering the power plants' investment and equipment maintenance costs. It is expected that the calculation method and the obtained results can be applied to other thermal power plants.
Applications of He's Semi-Inverse Variational Method and Item To the Nonlinear Long-Short Wave Interaction System
(inst Advanced Science Extension, 2019) Tekiyeh, Ramin Mehdizad; Manafian, Jalil; Baskonus, Haci Mehmet; Dusunceli, Faruk
This work deals with exact soliton solutions of the nonlinear long-short wave interaction system, utilizing two analytical methods. The system of coupled long-short wave interaction equations is studied by two analytical methods, namely, the generalized tan (phi/2)-expansion method and He's semi-inverse variational method, based upon the integration tools. Moreover, in this paper, we generalize two aforementioned methods which give new soliton wave solutions. Abundant exact traveling wave solutions including solitons, kink, periodic and rational solutions have been found. These solutions might play an important role in engineering and physics fields. By using these methods, exact solutions including the hyperbolic function solution, traveling wave solution, soliton solution, rational function solution, and periodic wave solution of this equation have been obtained. In addition, by using Matlab, some graphical simulations were done to see the behavior of these solutions. (C) 2019 The Authors. Published by IASE.

(Elsevier, 2024) Turk, Omer; Ozhan, Davut; Acar, Emrullah; Akinci, Tahir Cetin; Yilmaz, Musa; Türk, Ömer
Today, as in every life-threatening disease, early diagnosis of brain tumors plays a life-saving role. The brain tumor is formed by the transformation of brain cells from their normal structures into abnormal cell structures. These formed abnormal cells begin to form in masses in the brain regions. Nowadays, many different techniques are employed to detect these tumor masses, and the most common of these techniques is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). In this study, it is aimed to automatically detect brain tumors with the help of ensemble deep learning architectures (ResNet50, VGG19, InceptionV3 and MobileNet) and Class Activation Maps (CAMs) indicators by employing MRI images. The proposed system was implemented in three stages. In the first stage, it was determined whether there was a tumor in the MR images Tumor) were detected from MR images (Multi-class Approach). In the last stage, CAMs of each tumor group were created as an alternative tool to facilitate the work of specialists in tumor detection. The results showed that the overall accuracy of the binary approach was calculated as 100% on the ResNet50, InceptionV3 and MobileNet architectures, and 99.71% on the VGG19 architecture. Moreover, the accuracy values of 96.45% with ResNet50, 93.40% with VGG19, 85.03% with InceptionV3 and 89.34% with MobileNet architectures were obtained in the multi-class approach.
Beef and milk price links in Turkey
(2013) Saghaian Sayed; Özertan Gökhan; Tekgüç Hasan
This article addresses the recent beef price spikes in Turkey, using contemporary time-series analysis. The arguments point to the impact of low milk prices that led to liquidation of dairy herds and decline of beef prices initially due to the liquidation and increased meat supply, and subsequent price increases in the next year due to decreased supply. The results revealed that dairy herd liquidation had a delayed impact of a year to 18 months on farm, wholesale, and retail beef prices, Those effects wore off over a two-year time period.

(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2015) Okumus, Veysi; Celik, K. Serdar; Ozdemir, Sadin; Dundar, Abdurrahman; Kilinc, Ersin
The potential biosorption abilities of apple shell (AS), orange peel (OP), banana peel (BP), and millet waste (MW) as a bio-waste material to remove 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4-dichlorophenoxy propanoic acid (2,4-DP), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxy butyric acid (2,4-DB) from aqueous solution were investigated in batch condition. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as a function of contact time, pH of the solution, amount of biomass, and initial pesticide concentrations. The concentrations of the pesticides in the remaining solutions were simultaneously determined by high performance thin layer chromatography. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the biosorption isotherm of the pesticides by agricultural wastes. The experimental adsorption data were fitted to Langmuir adsorption models (r(2)>0.99). It was found that adsorption of 2,4-DP was higher for all biosorbent. The highest maximum adsorption capacities of 2,4-DP were found as 40.08, 22.71, 33.26, and 45.45mg/g, respectively, for AS, OP, BP, and MW. Maximum adsorption capacity was obtained for 2,4-D as OP>MW>BP>AS, 2,4-DP as MW>AS>BP>OP, and 2,4-DB as OP>AS>BP>MW. From the results, it can be said that MW was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-DP and OP was an effective biosorbent for removal of 2,4-D and 2,4-DB through the studied pesticides. Optimum biosorption conditions were determined as 60min of contact time, 100mg of biomass, AS at pH 6.0, OP at pH 6.0, MW at pH 7.0, and BP at pH 7.0. FT-IR was employed to understand the surface properties of biosorbents. According to the results, agricultural wastes have high adsorption capacity.
Biosynthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using Fig (ficus Carica) Leaves: a Potential Antimicrobial Activity
(Corvinus Univ Budapest, 2019) Acay, H.
Environmentally friendly methods for obtaining nanomaterials see a great interest. In addition to being inexpensive, the easy implementation process and the advantages of synthesis without toxic chemicals are the main reasons of interest. In this study, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized using fig (Ficus carica) leaf extract. The formation and the presence of AgNPs were observed using ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometry (UV-Vis). Peaks with a maximum wavelength of 419 nm are identified in the measurements. Phytochemicals in the extract responsible for functional groups providing reduction and stability were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) data. The Scanning electron microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrum (SEM-EDX) analysis showed that the AgNPs were spherical and the elemental composition contained mostly silver. X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results revealed that the peaks 111 degrees, 200 degrees, 220 degrees and 311 degrees belong to the characteristic structure of silver and have a crystal dimension of 17.30 Nm using Debye-Scherrer equation. In thermogravimetric - differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA) analysis, the degradation temperatures of AgNPs were evaluated. AgNPs showed antimicrobial activity on various microorganisms even at very high concentrations. As a solution to the antimicrobial search, it can be developed in medical industry.
Biosynthesis and Characterization of Silver Nanoparticles Using King Oyster (pleurotus Eryngii) Extract: Effect on Some Microorganisms
(Corvinus Univ Budapest, 2019) Acay, H.; Baran, M. F.
The integration of the principles of green chemistry into nanotechnology has become one of the key issues in nanotechnology research. Metal nanoparticle production, which does not contain toxic chemicals and does not harm the environment, needs to be developed to avoid adverse effects on medical applications. In this study, Pleurotus eryngii (PE) extract was used for preparation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The presence of AgNP was understood that after adding 1 mM silver nitrate (AgNO3) to the fungus extract, the reaction turned from the open yellow to reddish brown. The analysis of samples taken at different times with the UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (UV-Vis) confirms the formation of PE-AgNPs. The Scanning electron microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectrum (SEM-EDX) analysis showed that spherical nanoparticles were formed. X-ray crystallography (XRD), analysis is calculated from Debye-Sherers inequality, in which PE-AgNP synthesized in the study was 18.45 nm in size. It has been demonstrated by using the minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MX) method in which AgNPs have strong antimicrobial activity.
Cardioprotective effects of Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra. against cyclophosphamide related cardiotoxicity in rats
(Marmara Pharmaceutical Journal, 2018) Çetik Yıldız, Songül; Keskin, Cumali; Şahintürk, Varol; Ayhancı, Adnan
Cyclophosphamide (CYP) is commonly used as anticancer agent but its usage is limited by cardiotoxic side effects such as dose-dependent cardiac damage, morphologically defined necrosis and bleeding. Hypericum triquetrifolium Turra. (HT) shows anti-oxidative and anticarciogenic properties with its rich phenolic contents. The current study was designed to investigate the possible protective effect of HT on CYP-induced cardiotoxicity. Albino rats were randomly divided into 9 groups, each included 7 animals. Serum creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), malondialdehyde (MDA), aspartate transaminase (AST), glutathione (GSH), total antioxidant (TAC) and total oxidant capacity (TOC) levels were investigated. Furthermore, the cardiac tissue samples were investigated histopatologically. While the levels of serum CK-MB, MDA, AST and TOC were high, the levels of serum GSH and TAC levels were low in the CYP groups. It was also observed that CYP-induced cardiotoxicity was dose dependent. In the treatment with CYP plus HT doses there was observed an essential decrease in the CYP cardiotoxicity; decreased cell damage and oxidative stress parameters and also increased GSH and TAC levels. Based on our findings, it can be proposed that HT seed methanol extract was a strong candidate in preventing the CYP-induced cardiotoxicity.
Changes in Quality Components of Durum Wheat Genotypes Under Temperature Stress and Sufficient Rainfall Conditions During the Growth Period
(Publ House Bulgarian Acad Sci, 2024) Elis, Seval; Yildirim, Mehmet
A combination of genetic makeup and environmental factors determine the quality characteristics of durum wheat. Specifically, environmental stressors, such as extreme temperature fluctuations, can have a substantial impact on the productivity and quality of wheat crops. The effect of terminal temperature stress on yield and quality in durum wheat genotypes grown during 2019 and 2020 seasons was studied. These characteristics include thousand kernel weight, protein content, hectoliter weight, wet gluten content, Zeleny sedimentation value, and grain colour. The first year of the study was warmer than the second, resulting in decreased kernel weight, hectoliter weight, and gluten values, as well as increased protein content and Zeleny sedimentation values. This indicates that temperature stress leads to a higher protein content. The study also showed considerable variation in quality traits among genotypes, with certain genotypes demonstrating greater stability in specific quality traits. Genotype by environment interaction significantly affected grain weight, protein content, gluten content and Zeleny sedimentation. These data indicate that temperature stress plays an important role in determining the quality characteristics of durum wheat. Future studies should focus on mitigating the adverse effects of terminal temperature stress and improving the generation of genotypes with optimal quality traits.

Comparing the Efficacy of Manual Therapy and Exercise To Synchronized Telerehabilitation With Self-Manual Therapy and Exercise in Treating Subacromial Pain Syndrome: a Randomized Controlled Trial
(Mdpi, 2024) Celik, Erman Berk; Tuncer, Aysenur
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of manual therapy and exercise versus synchronized telerehabilitation with self-manual therapy and exercise in treating Subacromial Pain Syndrome (SAPS). Sixty individuals diagnosed with SPS, aged 18-50 years, were randomly assigned to home exercise (HE), manual therapy (MT), and telerehabilitation (TR) groups. Treatment protocols were administered over 8 weeks and included specific exercises and therapy interventions. Outcome measures included the Visual Pain Scale (VAS), shoulder range of motion (ROM) via goniometric measurements, Quick Disability Arm-Shoulder-Hand Problems Survey (Q-DASH), and patient satisfaction. Results revealed that both MT and TR groups exhibited reduced pain, increased ROM, lower Q-DASH scores, and higher patient satisfaction than the HE group. However, no significant differences were found between the MT and TR groups regarding pain levels, ROM, Q-DASH scores, or patient satisfaction. The study concludes that both telerehabilitation and manual therapy effectively alleviate pain and are well-received by patients with SPS. Additionally, manual therapy demonstrates superiority in enhancing functional levels compared to exercise-based interventions (Registration: NCT05200130).
