A First Survey of Metazoan Parasites in the Fishes of Lake Powell, Utah
(Brigham Young Univ, 2017) Brooksby, Aaron M.; Oguz, Mehmet Cemal; Belk, Mark C.
Lake Powell (Colorado River drainage, Utah and Arizona, USA) is an important and unique fishery comprising several nonnative fishes. There are no previous studies of the parasites of the fishes of Lake Powell. We provide a general survey of the metazoan parasites found in the numerically dominant fish species of the reservoir. We collected and surveyed for parasites in 236 fishes of 8 species. We found 832 parasites comprising 13 species. All of the parasite species we found are widespread throughout North America and other parts of the world. Six of the 13 species of parasites we found have been documented previously in the Colorado River system. In general, benthic-feeding fishes exhibited higher parasite richness and intensity compared to pelagic-feeding fishes. This study serves as a baseline for parasite community studies in Lake Powell and can provide a comparison for future studies.

The Effect of Skin-to-Skin Contact on Placental Separation Time and Initiation of Breastfeeding
(Breastfeeding Medicine, 2023) Gündüz, Ülkin; Öztürk, Sibel
Background: The first hour and minutes immediately after birth are quite important for both the mother and the newborn. Ensuring skin-to-skin contact (SSC) during this period has a positive effect on the mother both psychologically and physiologically, and it is also important in starting breastfeeding. Objective: The study was conducted to examine the effect of SSC on placental separation time and initiation of breastfeeding. Materials and Methods: This is a randomized controlled study. The sample of the study consists of a total of 84 women with primiparous birth and vaginal delivery, including 42 experimental and 42 controls. Data were collected using a personal information form, a chronometer, and the LATCH scale. The placental separation time for those in the experimental and control groups was determined by using a chronometer. Initiation and assessment of breastfeeding were evaluated at the first and 24th hours of birth using the LATCH scale. Results: The signs of placental separation occurred earlier in the experimental group than in the control group. The mean placental separation time was found to be 7.05 ± 4.37 minutes in the experimental group and 13.41 ± 5.24 minutes in the control group. A statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of placental separation time (p = 0.0001). Conclusion: This study concludes that SSC in the third stage of labor ensures earlier separation of the placenta and is effective in initiating breastfeeding.

The effects of different concentration methods on the chemical composition, functional and sensory attributes of molasses produced from grape (Vitis vinifera L.) juice
(SpringerLink, 2023) Korkmaz, Aziz
The efects of concentration by outdoor (OCM) and vacuum (VCM) and traditional (TCM) methods for the production of molasses from fresh grape juice (FGJ) were evaluated concerning volatile compounds, sugars, organic acids, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), total phenolic (TPC), total favonoid (TFC) contents, and antioxidant capacity (TAC), and sensory properties. Compared to FGJ, its molasses had lower TPC, TFC, TAC, and total organic acids and total sugars (except for the OCM) in total soluble solids (TSS). Additionally, the most of (60.7%) volatile compounds in FGJ disappeared with the production of the molasses. Moreover, all investigated features were signifcantly infuenced by the concentration method used. The TCMconcentration method markedly increased the amounts of both HMF (~ 180- and 50-fold greater than of the OCM and TCM, respectively) and total volatile furans (~20- and 3.6-fold greater than that of OCM and TCM, respectively). Additionally, this method presented the best antioxidant properties in terms of greater TPC, TFC, and TAC, whereas both TPC and TFC in the molasses produced by the OCM-method were not signifcantly diferent from those they obtained by the VCM-method. The principal component analysis (PCA) based on the chemical characteristics revealed close similarity between the OCM and VCM, even though the OCM had higher contents for sugars and organic acids. According to the sensory evaluation, there were no signifcant diferences between the scores of favor and overall acceptability for the TCM and OCM. In conclusion, an adapted the OCM-concentrating method to industrial-type can be proposed to produce high-quality molasses.

(MDPI, 2025) Boga Pekmezekmek, Ayper; Emre, Toygar; Tunc, Erdal; Ilgaz, Seda; Oksuz, Hale; Erdogan, Seyda; Emre, Nesrin
Microplastic particles with a size of less than 5 mm make up a significant component of the plastic pollution in freshwater and the ocean. This study was designed to investigate the effects of eight-week exposure to high-molecular-weight polyvinyl chloride (HMW-PVC) on young rats. A total of 40 rats were divided into two assay groups of 15 rats (Group 1, Group 2, a total of 30 rats) and a control group of 10 rats. The rats in the first and second assay groups were fed with food containing HMW-PVC at rates of 1 and 2% of their weight, respectively. The control group was fed food without HMW-PVC. The rats' weights were recorded every 15 days. After eight weeks of feeding, the rats' intestines, kidneys, and livers were removed and underwent histopathological examinations. Additionally, mRNA expression levels of Cyp3A2, Pepck, and Fasn genes in the liver, UT-A1, UT-A2, renin, and Cyp27B1 genes in the kidney, and Muc2, Fabp2, and PepT1 genes in the intestine were determined by using the RT-PCR technique. Our study revealed that rats exposed to microplastic particles exhibited non-significant weight loss and obvious organ degeneration. Furthermore, mRNA expression levels of the examined genes were either elevated or suppressed by regular exposure to high-molecular-weight PVC.

In Vitro Antitumor and Antioxidant Capacity as Well as Ameliorative Effects of Fermented Kefir on Cyclophosphamide-Induced Toxicity on Cardiac and Hepatic Tissues in Rats
(Mdpi, 2024) Yildiz, Songul Cetik; Demir, Cemil; Cengiz, Mustafa; Irmak, Halit; Cengiz, Betul Peker; Ayhanci, Adnan
Fermented prebiotic and probiotic products with kefir are very important to slow down and prevent the growth of tumors and to treat cancer by stimulating the immune response against tumor cells. Cyclophosphamide (CPx) is widely preferred in cancer treatment but its effectiveness in high doses is restricted because of its side effects. The aim of this study was to investigate the protective effects of kefir against CPx-induced heart and liver toxicity. In an experiment, 42 Wistar albino rats were divided into six treatment groups: the control (Group 1), the group receiving 150 mg/kg CPx (Group 2), the groups receiving 5 and 10 mg/kg kefir (Groups 3 and 4) and the groups receiving 5 and 10 mg/kg kefir + CPx (Group 5 and 6). Fermented kefirs obtained on different days by traditional methods were mixed and given by gavage for 12 days, while a single dose of CPx was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) on the 12th day of the experiment. It was observed that alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine kinase-MB (CK-MB), ischemia modified albumin (IMA) and Troponin I values, which indicate oxidative stress, increased in the CPx-administered group, and this level approached that of the control in the CPx + kefir groups. Likewise, as a result of the kefir, the rats' CPx-induced histopathological symptoms were reduced, and their heart and liver tissue were significantly improved. In conclusion, it was observed that kefir had a cytoprotective effect against CPx-induced oxidative stress, hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity, bringing their biochemical parameters closer to those of the control by suppressing oxidative stress and reducing tissue damage.

Humans and/or robots? Tourists’ preferences towards the humans–robots mix in the service delivery system
(SpringerLink, 2022) Ivanov, Stanislav; Webster, Craig; Seyitoğlu, Faruk
This paper investigates tourists’ preferences toward the humans-robots ratio in the service delivery systems of tourism and hospitality companies and the factors that shape them. The sample includes 1537 respondents from nearly 100 countries. The fndings show that a higher preferred share of robots is positively associated with the perceived emotional skills of robots, their perceived usefulness in the tourism/ hospitality context, perceived robotic service expectations, attitudes towards robots in general, and the male gender. On the other side, it is negatively associated with the perceived disadvantages of robots compared to human servers and the household size of respondents.

Synthesis and characterization of magnetic nanocomposite for in vitro evaluation of irinotecan using human cell lines
(Turkish Journal of Chemistry, 2021) Tarhan, Tuba
In this study, magnetic O-carboxymethyl chitosan (MOCC) nanocomposite was synthesized and characterized as a drug delivery system for loading the anticancer drug irinotecan (CPT-11). To increase the drug loading capacity, MOCC was synthesized by linking the carboxyl group functionally to chitosan. Also, several critical factors such as concentration, the dose of MOCC, and contact time for optimum drug loading condition were investigated. The loading capacity of CPT-11 onto MOCC was calculated as 5.6 mg/g, and the loaded drug concentration was calculated as 0.04787 mM at pH value of 5. Besides, the cytotoxic properties of MOCC, CPT11 loaded MOCC (MOCC-CPT-11), and free CPT-11 were studied on glioblastoma multiforme cell lines, including U87 and U373. According to the results, the MOCC-CPT-11 showed at least as toxic effect as free CPT-11 even at very low concentrations, while the MOCC showed slight toxicity (cell viability of 96% to 78%) on U373 cell lines at all concentrations and for 24 h and 48 h incubation times. Moreover, the results showed that the MOCC indicated significant toxicity in increasing concentrations and incubation times, and the MOCC-CPT-11 is as toxic as free CPT-11 on U87 cells at all concentrations and incubation times.
Determination of Trace Manganese Contents in Real Samples and Interference Studies by Combining Coated Magnetic Nanoparticle-Assisted Solid-Phase Microextraction With Slotted Quartz Tube-Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
(Springer Wien, 2025) Aydin, Firat; Umaz, Adil; Umaz, Kader; Aydin, Isil
This study aimed to propose a sensitive analytical method to determine trace levels of manganese by combining magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-assisted solid-phase microextraction (SPME) with slotted quartz tube flame atomic absorption spectrometry (SQT-FAAS). MNP was used as an absorbent in the extraction processes, univariately optimizing parameters such as pH, buffer volume, MNP amount, eluent concentration and volume, mixing type and duration, and interaction time to improve extraction efficiency. The limits of detection and quantification values for the developed MNP-SPME-SQT-FAAS method were identified as 108 and 359 mu g/dm(3), respectively. The coefficient of determination, percentage relative standard deviation, and percentage recovery values were also calculated as 0.9995, 3.84, and 96.73, respectively. As a result, the developed MNP-SPME-SQT-FAAS method improved the detection power of the traditional FAAS method by 16.91-fold. This method is the first to accurately and sensitively determine trace manganese content in nut samples. The developed MNP-SPME-SQT-FAAS method was confirmed that have a high sensitivity to determine the trace amounts of manganese and displayed potential applicability for real samples.

Allelic variations of glutenin subunits and their association with quality traits in bread wheat genotypes
(2017) Aktaş, Hüsnü; Baloch, Faheem Shehzad
The present study was conducted to evaluate the genotype × environment interaction of the yield and quality traits for five bread wheat varieties commonly grown in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey and 20 advanced lines developed within the framework of the International Winter Wheat Improvement Project. We also determined the allelic pattern of the Glu-1 and Glu-3 loci of these genotypes and examined whether these loci had an effect on the quality traits. There was a significant variation among the genotypes and environments in terms of grain yield, protein content, sedimentation volume (SV), and the extensograph dough energy value (EDEV). The results of the study indicated that genotypic effect was more influential on SV and EDEV than environmental effect; thus, both traits could be used in breeding programs to develop elite cultivars with better quality. Twelve different high-molecularweight (HMW) glutenin alleles were identified at the Glu-A1, Glu-B1, and Glu-D1 loci, resulting in 14 allelic combinations, and 17 different alleles were observed in 19 combinations for low-molecular-weight (LMW) subunits. Furthermore, among all the genotypes, 13 + 16 and 13 + 19 alleles at Glu-B1 and 5 + 12 at Glu-D1 were observed to have the lowest frequency. Our study indicated that the combinations of HMW glutenin alleles with 2* at Glu-A1, 17 + 18 and 13 + 16 at Glu-B1, and 5 + 10 at Glu-D1, as well as the combinations of LMW alleles with subunits c and d at Glu-A3; subunits d, b, c, and g at Glu-B3; and subunits a and b at Glu-D3 had positive effects on the quality traits.

Emergence of the Anti-Kemalist Movement in the South Marmara: Governor of Izmit Cule Ibrahim Hakki Bey and the Circassian Congress
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Yelbasi, Caner
The civil war between the Ankara and Ottoman governments between 1920 and 1921 deepened the split among bureaucrats and the military, the two parties supporting the rival governments. After attaining military power, Ankara expanded its control almost to Istanbul, arresting or coercing those statesman who had previously sided with the Ottoman government. The Governor of Izmit, cule Ibrahim Hakki Bey, was one of these. His activities over a few short years completely altered Ankara's policy towards the Circassians of the South Marmara region. His aim was to establish a society based on the self-determination rights espoused under Wilsonian Principles, to enable the Circassians to elevate their national aspirations. This article firstly examines the motivations of the anti-nationalist Circassians, particularly discussing the activities of cule Ibrahim Hakki Bey. Secondly it demonstrates how the anti-nationalists established an association, sought foreign support and declared their independence from both the nationalist government of Ankara and the Ottoman government of Istanbul.

The Effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Anxiety Levels and Sleep Among University Students
(Galenos Publ House, 2023) Cifci, Sema; Deger, Vasfiye Bayram; Kacan, Havva
Objective: This study was conducted to examine the effects of the Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the anxiety and sleep levels of university students.Materials and Methods: The population of this descriptive study consisted of students who studied in health departments. The data were collected with a questionnaire that consisted of the descriptive characteristics form, Beck Anxiety Inventory, and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.Results: A total of 70.5% of the students who participated in the study were female. 9.0% of the students use drugs and 38.4% of them smoke. The difference between anxiety score averages and having a chronic disease, continuous drug use, smoking, and being a disabled person in the living environment is significant. Sleep quality scores were found to be "elevated" and significant for those who constantly used drugs, had a family member with a disability and/or a person over the age of 65, and those who smoked. It also affected the sleep quality scores of those who were infected with the Coronavirus, those who had family members with Coronavirus in their family, and/or students who had a relative who died from the Coronavirus.Conclusion: It can be argued that the anxiety frequency of the students increased and their sleep quality deteriorated during the COVID-19 pandemic period. Having a family member over the age of 65, having a disabled person, being infected with the Coronavirus and/or losing one of their relatives to the Coronavirus affected the anxiety and sleep quality scores of the students.

Classification and analysis of epileptic EEG recordings using convolutional neural network and class activation mapping
(Biomedical Signal Processing and Control, 2021) Zan, Hasan; Yıldız, Abdulnasir; Said, Sherif
Electrical bio-signals have the potential to be used in different applications due to their hidden nature and their ability to facilitate liveness detection. This paper investigates the feasibility of using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to classify and analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) data with their time-frequency representations and class activation mapping (CAM) to detect epilepsy disease. Several types of pre-trained CNNs are employed for a multi-class classification task (AlexNet, GoogLeNet, ResNet-18, and ResNet-50) and their results are compared. Also, a novel convolutional neural network architecture comprised of two horizontally concatenated GoogLeNets is proposed with two inputs scalograms and spectrogram of the eplictic EEG signal. Four segment lengths (4097, 2048, 1024, and 512 sampling points) with three time-frequency representations (short-time Fourier, Wavelet, and Hilbert-Huang transform) are statistically evaluated. The dataset used in this research is collected at the University of Bonn. The dataset is reorganized as normal, interictal, and ictal. The maximum achieved accuracies for 4097, 2048, 1024, and 512 sampling points are 100 %, 100 %, 100 %, and 99.5 % respectively. The CAM method is used to analyze discriminative regions of time-frequency representations of EEG segments and networks' decisions. This method showed CNN models used different time and frequency regions of input images for each class with correct and incorrect predictions.
