Background: Metabolic disturbances, including hyperlipidaemia, are risk factors for brain ischemia. Despite all research, no definitive treatment has yet been found for brain ischemia. Thus, this study investigated the effect of cinnamon on ischemic tolerance and the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 2 and 9 genes, as well as levels of interleukin 6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) proteins in rats receiving a high-fat diet (HFD). Methods: Rats were divided into control, sham, model, lovastatin, vehicle, and cinnamon 130 mg (Cin130) and 260 mg (Cin260). All groups, except for the control group, received a high-fat diet for 6 weeks. Then, the last four groups received the corresponding treatment for 6 weeks. The stroke was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). Twelve hours later, the animals were evaluated for the extent of neurological defects, lipid profiles, tissue damage, and gene expression of MMP-2,9, as well as IL-6 and TNF-α protein level. Results: The results showed that Cin130 has been highly successful in improving neurological defects. Cin130 was effective in reducing serum cholesterol and triglyceride. Further, Cin260 effectively reduced serum LDL. Moreover, Cin130 and Cin260 could reduce tissue damage volume, blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity, and down-regulation of IL-6, TNF-α proteins and MMP-2,9 levels. Conclusion: Overall, cinnamon, in addition to its lipid-lowering effect, may also have a neuroprotective effect that may be related to the down-regulation of MMPs and cytokines. The two may be independent events or related to a third event; in any case, appropriate experiments should be performed in future studies to determine whether altering the MMPs reduces the effectiveness of cinnamon.

Published: June 2023

Background: Hepatotoxicity is one of the most important side effects of anticonvulsant drugs. This study compared the hepatotoxicity of sodium valproate, carbamazepine, phenytoin, lamotrigine, and vigabatrin in male rats. Methods: Based on the results, 56 rats were randomly divided into seven groups of eight and treated intraperitoneally for four weeks. Groups 1 and 2 received 500 mg/kg of carbamazepine and sodium valproate, and groups 3, 4, and 5 were injected with 200 mg/kg of phenytoin, 200 mg/kg lamotrigine, and 500 mg/kg vigabatrin, respectively. As control groups, the sixth and seventh received distilled water and sesame oil. Biochemical parameters such as alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) in the serum samples, as well as malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH) contents in liver homogenates, were measured at the end of the experiment. Results: MDA levels in carbamazepine and phenytoin groups were significantly higher than that in sodium valproate, lamotrigine, vigabatrin, and control groups (P<0.05). GSH levels in carbamazepine and phenytoin groups were meaningfully higher compared to the groups that received sodium valproate (P<0.05), vigabatrin, and control groups (P<0.001). Based on the results, the GGT level in the carbamazepine group was remarkably higher in comparison with the other groups (P<0.01). ALT and AST represented considerably higher levels in the phenytoin group compared to the vigabatrin, sodium valproate, and control groups (P<0.01). Conclusion: Overall, carbamazepine-induced hepatotoxicity caused the most significant changes in GSH, GGT, and AST. The induction of hepatotoxicity with sodium valproate had the least effect on enzymes and was significantly different compared to carbamazepine and phenytoin groups. Because of no hepatic metabolism, the level of biomarkers did not demonstrate a considerable difference between vigabatrin and the control groups.

Authors: Tabatabaei Sayyed-Ali , Ariafar Saba , Mohammadi Mojdeh
Published: June 2023

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an acquired inflammatory and neurodegenerative immuno-mediated disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) characterized by inflammation, demyelination, and primary or secondary axonal degeneration. Epidemiological studies have suggested that both genetic and non-genetic risk factors are involved in the etiology of MS. Non-genetic factors include infections, vaccinations, nutritional habits, hormonal factors, and physical and chemical agents. Toxic environmental factors have been proposed to play a considerable role in MS pathogenesis. This review explored pieces of evidence and potential mechanisms of action for some toxic factors such as heavy metals, organic solvents (OSs), tobacco smoking, plastic monomers, additives, and pesticides. The obtained findings provide us with the potential for prevention, especially for people at greater risk such as individuals exposed to these toxic factors. It should be noted that further investigations are needed to find precise mechanisms of causality in humans and to develop defensive approaches.

Published: June 2023

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the number of unintentional acute poisoning cases is between 3.5 and 5 million cases worldwide. Among these, 3 million cases were severe, leading to the death of 20000 people per year. In addition, 7.4 million years of life had lost every year due to diseases caused by agricultural toxins (1). Based on the previous evidence, the development of unauthorized supply stores and lack of proper monitoring of the permissible limit of poisons, as well as the sale of poisons without a prescription, the ignorance of farmers, the indiscriminate planting of products not resembling traditional agriculture, can be due to various factors related to the improper and indiscriminate use of pests. Pesticides and agricultural poisons have short- and long-term health effects. Globally, it is recommended that a policy brief be compiled for decision-making cases based on evidence. Therefore, to demonstrate evidence-based policy options, taking into account the existing obstacles and opportunities, it seems necessary to use strategies and intervention plans to reduce the consumption of pesticides while increasing the level of protection of farmers.

Published: June 2023

Background: In December 2019, a new virus, the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was identified as the cause of a cluster of cases of pneumonia of unknown etiology in Wuhan, China. The COVID-19 disease increases cardiovascular events both directly and indirectly. This study aimed to investigate the laboratory diagnostic markers of cardiovascular patients with COVID-19 in Ayatollah Taleghani hospital in Abadan from March 20, 2019 to March 19, 2020. Materials and Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytical study. Some demographic, laboratory, and clinical information of 200 cardiovascular patients with COVID-19 admitted to Taleghani hospital, Abadan, was received randomly by referring to the medical records section and medical records section and health information system (HIS) as well as searching in the patient records. Inclusion criteria included cardiovascular patients with COVID-19 who had been admitted to Ayatollah Taleghani hospital in Abadan with the diagnosis of a cardiologist and infectious disease specialist, and those whose information was available in HIS. The results were analyzed using SPSS software version 24. Results: The mean age of cardiovascular patients with COVID-19 was reported to be 66.98±18.14. The results revealed that the mean of fasting blood sugar (FBS), serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatinine (Cr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was higher than the normal level in these patients. In addition, the mean oxygen saturation (SpO2) was observed to be lower than normal. Reducing the level of SpO2 to less than 90% was significantly related to increasing age, death, patients with a history of lung disease, the duration of hospitalization in ICU, and intubation. This reduction also led to an increase in respiratory rate (RR), LDH, ESR, and C-reactive protein (CRP+1) in cardiovascular patients with COVID-19. Conclusion: In cardiovascular patients with COVID-19, FBS, some kidney markers, liver markers, and inflammatory markers were observed to be higher than normal, and a significant relationship was observed between the reduction of SpO2 and some laboratory diagnostic markers, which requires extensive studies with larger sample size.

Published: June 2023

The dynamics of complex processes of change, transformation or social readjustment constitute essential features that characterize the contemporary world, in this context, education is structured around four basic pillars that today's society demands: learning to know, learning to do, learning to live together and learn to be. It is worth mentioning that there is a problem of desertion and failure at the higher level, this situation is worrying and it is possible that it is related to the teaching styles of the teacher. Therefore, it will be necessary to carry out the present investigation since it could serve as a basis for later studies that allow in turn to identify the relationship of the teacher's teaching styles with the failure rates, for this an instrument is necessary that validates said assumption.
Discusiones sobre la comunidad indígena en México: perspectivas desde las políticas y programas gubernamentales
Authors: Núñez-Altamirano Rubén Darío , Olivos-Fuentes Monserrat
Published: June 2023

The concept of indigenous community has historically sparked various theoretical, investigative and social discussions, disseminated in various debate forums, publications and specialized congresses, around indigenous societies. However, the theoretical postulates and results of various analyzes built with or from the communities have not always been taken into account in the definition of legislation and the construction of national public policies. Given this scenario, through a documentary methodology and legislative analysis, this work generates a brief review of the theoretical positions taken up in recent decades by the Mexican State, emphasizing the moments of close connection with theory and pointing out the processes that have limited citizen participation. In the political framework and the specific demands, concepts of social unity are analyzed, from where the community is built and redefined, within the framework of the situations and relationships that it establishes with representatives of the State and with other social sectors.

Published: June 2023

The study on local companies joins the voices that demand a change in behavior around sustainability, care for the environment and aspects related to the social development of communities. Despite the fact that much has already been said about this urgency where the UN has established the Sustainable Development Goals as the purposes towards which nations should direct the course, and within them, government and business organizations, regardless of their size, activity and goals. However, there are still very few who have developed an awareness aimed at making profound changes in their behavior to achieve the objectives of sustainability in the world. The emergence of sustainability and environmental care create a new business culture from a social perspective. Based on the foregoing, local companies have been exhorted to assume a responsibility towards society beyond just satisfying needs for goods and services. Fulfilling a more social purpose implies that they carry out more ethical actions and take responsibility for the damage they do to the environment, as well as taking care of the impact that their activities have on the community where they are located. It is in this sense that this document discloses the results of the research that aimed to analyze the factors that prevent local companies in the city of Los Mochis, Sinaloa from maintaining the standards of environmental care and community. The research approach was qualitative, using the case study as a research strategy and the semi-structured interview as a data collection method. The level of the research was exploratory, thus opening the way to delve into the subject in future research. The results show that local companies have multiple problems that must be solved by improving the mechanisms so that the culture of caring for the environment and the community is assumed by owners and collaborators of the local company, elevating social interests over economic interests.

Authors: Tino-Antonio Patricia , Sánchez-Morales Primo , Juárez-Ramón Dionicio , Boege-Schmidt Eckart , Sánchez-Escudero Julio
Published: June 2023

Home gardens are very old agroecosystems that show cultural identity and knowledge, so the present work aims to analyze the traditional ecological knowledge possessed by the peasant and indigenous families of Olintla, Puebla, in relation to the management of the home garden. The methodology implemented was through a case study that allowed us to apply a mixed methodology. Qualitative techniques were applied, such as the semi-structured interview, which was conducted with 15 key informants; and as a quantitative technique, the survey, in which a sample size of 76 families was calculated, obtained from a previous list of families that have home gardens (N=380) in order to collect primary information in a more complete way. With the data obtained, a database was created in Microsoft Excel ®, where the information obtained was recorded in a coded manner and processed with the SPSS program version 27.0. It was found that the farming families of Olintla name the family garden as liipakan in their native language, Totonac, and it was also found that the agrobiodiversity of the liipakan is reflected in the high number of species registered, which was 239, of which 130 are native; in addition, 142 are named in Totonac. A classification of 18 categories was also made according to their use; 10 agroecological practices used in the orchards were recorded as part of the traditional knowledge and a scale of knowledge possessed by the families was made, obtaining that 58 owners have a high to very high level of knowledge, which evidences the conservation of biodiversity and the preservation of the biocultural heritage. It is concluded that the liipakan are important because they are mainly used to produce food (49.8% of cultivated species) contributing to the food sovereignty of Olintla families; in addition, medicinal plants (24.7%) and ornamental species (23.4%) are cultivated there.
Rasgos etnoterritoriales, racionalidad ecológica e interacción comunicativa en las celebraciones yoreme-mayo
Authors: Borbón-Morales Carlos Gabriel , Borbón-Morales Francisco
Published: June 2023

The aim of this document is to explore the construct of ecological rationality, highlighting the role of animals and plants in religious and organizational animist traits, in the traditional celebrations of the yoreme mayo ethnic group in southern Sonora. The eminently qualitative method examines such a construct in its expression as tropes, which are used in the communicative interaction that takes place in celebrations of this ethnic group. In this qualitative approach, a series of interviews were conducted with the main actors of such ceremonies. The results indicate that rationality, which emerged as sustenance in the ancestral vision of this social group, was intertwined between nature and religious mysticism, to the point of considering it as its own. The animals, plants, the river and its built utensils are used for their communicative interaction, revealed in the form of tropes in their stories and the lyrics of their songs, which serve as scaffolding in their ceremonial acts. Thus, the animist manifestations between prayers, musicians, dancers, and the entire brotherhood, expose an ecological rationality that brings them together, transcending even everyday rationality.

Also, the need to monitor these types of inclusive policies.
Resistencia comunal y escuela: reflexiones en torno a Ya’ Blligo, lugar sagrado zapoteco
Authors: Manzano-Flores Yerí Manzano-Flores
Published: June 2023

This article denounces the homogeneous and colonizing caracter of the educational system and with it its lack of recognition of epistemic, cultural and linguistic diversity and plurality. Emphasizing the need for actions that have to be taken from the school context to make visible the cultural meanings found in the ways of life of native peoples. Which demands that the teacher becomes a cultural mediator, who promotes mutual respect between the cultures present in the school space. In the attention of the girls and boys of the native communities, present throughout the country, it is essential that the teacher recognizes the matrix of thougth of their belonging cultures, in search of their own education, contextualized, enabling processes of recognition, appropriation and strengthening of their cultural and linguistic identity.
Faced with this challenge, it is important that the teacher develops processes of decolonization and cultural affirmation, with this purpose we sought to document the zapotec cultural meanings present in Ya’ Blligo, a sacred place of the community of San Andrés Solaga, relying on a qualitative methodology, specifically in deep hermeneutics, proposed by John B. Thompson. Recovering two strategies of ethnography such as participant observation and deep interview. Strategies that, together with the narrative, were fundamental in understanding the cultural meanings that emerged from a process of interpretation and reinterpretation of information.
Cultural meanings that have resisted and continue to shape the worldview and identity of the zapotecs, which determines the form of relationship with the sacred and social environment in which they live, recognizing among them: the complementarity in the interaction that the zapotec being establishes with his environment, which is demonstrated in asking, giving and receiving; the search for a dignified and humane life, which is achieved through work; the importance of valuing, preserving and putting into practice the way of life that our grandparents have inherited us from their words and actions.
El diálogo intercultural como mecanismo para la gestión del patrimonio biocultural. El caso del Yolixpa del pueblo nahua de Cuetzalan del Progreso, Puebla
Authors: Núñez-Bonifacio Margarita , Pérez-Serrano Adriana Montserrat
Published: June 2023

The conservation of the heritage of native peoples depends on establishing links between different communities and promoting coexistence, well-being and peace among peoples; In this sense, intercultural dialogue is a communication mechanism that seeks to educate individuals who foster more open, plural and dynamic societies where it is possible to build better life opportunities.
In the municipality of Cuetzalan del Progreso, the Masehual have established, within their daily lives, forms of communication based mainly on family and community values, which have been established within their society and which, in some cases, are reproduced in the interaction with the tourists who have come to the municipality for more than four decades.
The tourist interest towards Cuetzalan is due to the fact that it has a wide repertoire of biocultural heritage, preserved by the inhabitants for generations; among which Yolixpa stands out, a medicinal and traditional drink that is currently in a process of transformation in terms of inputs, preparation and meanings, mainly; in which producers, tourism service providers, authorities, tourists and the local population have contributed.
The changes indicated are not homogeneous for all the actors and this is due to the fact that each actor involved has different worldviews and, therefore, different objectives and particular interests, depending on the individual or collective role they represent; In this context of changes and permanence linked to the tourist practice, intercultural dialogue between social actors becomes relevant, for the safeguarding of heritage, including the Yolixpa and its true medicinal and traditional value.
Based on the above, the objective of this study was to assess the relevance and scope of intercultural dialogue, as a management mechanism for Yolixpa, as a biocultural heritage of the Nahua people of Cuetzalan del Progreso, Puebla, for which a qualitative methodological strategy was used. where in-depth interviews, participant observation, intercultural dialogue, focus group, social clotheslines and group dynamics were applied.
It was observed that although the local actors linked to the management of Yolixpa are different, they share common interests around the drink, especially in its permanence and in the recovery of its traditional value; they also recognize that the lack of dialogue has caused disagreements and little participation; The foregoing has been reflected in the management of the Yolixpa festival, in the commercialization, dissemination and promotion of the drink from a mercantilist approach.

Conceded Reconciliation: The Impact of Habitus on Ethnic Identity Formation in Bread Givers and The Island Within
Authors: KATI GÜMÜŞ Gamze
Published: June 2023

The anti-Semitism of the 1920s affected the status of Jewish Americans as equal citizens in the United States. This paper examines the Jewish immigrant’s journey from their ethnic habitus to Americanization in Anzia Yezierska’s Bread Givers (1925/1999) and Ludwig Lewisohn’s The Island Within (1928) that were published amidst the rising tensions of Anti-Semitism. Yezierska and Lewisohn demonstrate how the habitus of these two characters shape their identities as Jewish Americans. Bourdieu’s sociological concept of habitus indicates that the character and the tastes of an individual are shaped in relation to the set structures of his habitus, which is internalized unconsciously. Sara Smolinsky in Bread Givers and Arthur Levy in The Island Within try to preserve their internalized Jewishness in a society that thought the unassimilable Jew was a menace to American values. This paper uses Pierre Bourdieu’s discussion on the habitus as well as Jean Phinney’s model of ethnic identity formation as its initial discussion and develops Phinney’s model to elaborate on the final phase of the formation of Jewish characters in these works. According to Phinney’s argument, the ethnic subject achieves reconciliation between the ethnic identity and the identity of the majority group. However, this paper argues that the main characters of the two novels--Sara and Arthur, reach a conceded reconciliation in the final phase of their ethnic identity formation, which allows them to exercise subjectivity and reclaim their identity against the deterministic aspect of habitus.

The article analyzes the amount of copper-in-stock as a part of finished articles in the US economy from 1900 to 2017. In addition, an assessment of the external trade of copper as a part of finished articles is conducted. All of that allows collecting a non-biased assessment of copper-in-stock in the US economy. The results obtained demonstrate an increase in specific (per capita) copper-in-stock in the US economy and an assessment of potential copper resources in terms of the circular economy. The authors conclude that an analysis of copper consumption should be accompanied by an analysis of copper as a part of finished articles movement in the external trade during the global value chain spread. That strategy will provide a more nonbiased assessment of copper-in-stock in the economy in order to determine its recycling potential.

The aim of the article is to develop the theoretical and methodological base for studying digital inclusion and to identify the distinguishing features of its manifestation in Russian settings. The authors propose an approach to studying digital inclusion by determining the causes and factors of its development in Russia. Macroeconomic analysis of territorial and age-related factors of digital inclusion development in Russia is conducted based on the official statistics indicators that define the features of access to the Internet for the population, directions for digital technology use, digital skills in the population, etc. The territorial factor was found to be a key cause for the development of digital inclusion in Russia. It displays through a more accessible Internet and possibilities to use the potential of digital technology for the population in urban areas rather than for those who live in rural areas and territories remote from the “growth areas”. The article identifies features of the age factor affecting the development of digital inclusion in Russia and changes in the dynamics of the age factor affecting the development of digital inclusion during the pandemic. The analysis allowed the authors to substantiate the directions of positive practice in developing digital inclusion in Russia in order to overcome the digital divide both on the national business level and on the international level. The theoretical and methodological basis for further research in the field is presented in the obtained conclusions. It can be used for improving the state policy on digital development and the implementation of strategic directions for the digitalization of the Russian national economy.
Uruguay, una política limitada: derecha y ultraderecha en una democracia de partidos
Authors: Rilla José
Published: June 2023

Una revisión de las variantes de ultraderecha contemporáneas y de sus vínculos con la tradición autoritaria del siglo XX nos devuelve un mapa confuso, algo borroso y con figuras superpuestas. Las ciencias sociales y la historia tienen problemas serios para interpretar un fenómeno en pleno desarrollo y para el que el pasado resulta menos útil de lo que solemos admitir. Uruguay, la democracia de partidos más longeva y estable del continente experimenta a su manera este proceso, que mirado con más detalle y sin abandonar la mirada comparativa, no se deja describir ni interpretar tan fácilmente. Acercarse al proceso uruguayo ofrece una oportunidad analítica que puede resumirse en una proposición simple y que no es posible generalizar más que de una forma vaga, como suele ocurrir con la historia política: los movimientos radicales de derecha avanzan y sobre todo se consolidan en proporción a la debilidad del sistema de partidos en los que se asientan. La uruguaya es una política limitada para el despliegue cómodo de trayectorias extremas.

Al acompañar sus desplazamientos, las relaciones sociales en las que se involucraron y la oferta de empleo que existió en su sastrería en la porteña calle Perú, este análisis microhistórico “en movimiento” realiza un aporte a la comprensión de los mundos del trabajo urbano en Buenos Aires, de las migraciones existentes a mediados de siglo XIX de Europa a Sudamérica y de las mutaciones de un oficio artesanal. Con las herramientas de la historia social en perspectiva de género, el artículo también se interroga por la división del trabajo al interior del taller y aborda los sentidos de honor laboral que los hombres de la familia Sanglas expresaron al comparecer frente a la justicia comercial porteña. Este estudio sigue la pista de un sastre catalán a través de la exploración atenta de fuentes censales, documentación municipal, expedientes judiciales del Tribunal de Comercio de Buenos Aires, registros contables, listados de pasajeros de embarcaciones, avisos clasificados, entre otras.

Bu çalışmada, Reçine Transfer Kalıplama (RTM) yöntemiyle üretilmiş cam fiber takviyeli kompozit plakalarda elyaf ağırlığının ve jelkotun mekanik özelliklere etkisi incelenmiştir. Üç farklı laminasyon planı ve bu planların jelkotlu halleri kullanılmıştır. Numunelerin incelenmesi için çekme testi, üç nokta eğme testi ve Barcol sertlik testleri yapılmıştır. Laminasyon planlarında 300 g/m2, 450 g/m2, 600 g/m2 olmak üzere 3 farklı ağırlıkta elyaf kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca laminasyon arasında 180 g/m2 ve 250 g/m2 polipropilen köpük malzeme kullanılmıştır. Her laminasyon için bir jelkotlu, bir jelkotsuz plaka üretilmiştir. Üretim sonunda kalınlıkları 2.5 – 3.2 mm arasında değişen 6 plaka üretilmiştir. Üç nokta eğme ve çekme testi için 10’ar numune kesilmiştir, Barcol sertlik testi plaka üzerinde 5 noktadan alınmıştır. Testler sonucunda elyaf ağırlığının artmasıyla mukavemet değerlerinin arttığı, uzama değerlerinin azaldığı gözlemlenmiştir. Her laminasyonun jelkotlu hallerinde %5 - 15 aralığında mekanik özellik düşüşü gözlemlenmiştir.
Investigation Into The Molecular Stability, Synthesis Mechanism, and Formation of Some Norcantharimide Derivatives Using AcCl or Ac2O: A Mechanism-Based Study
Authors: KÖSE Aytekin
Published: June 2023

The aim in this study was first to explain, in detail the conversion of diacetates over time into chlorinated monoacetates following ether cleavage with AcCl of norcantharimide derivatives with the help of the NMR technique and second, to verify this conversion theoretically and computationally. Ether cleavage reactions of N-methyl, N-benzyl, and N-acetoxyethyl-substituted norcantharimide derivatives were performed with Ac2O or AcCl in the presence of H2SO4, and the mechanisms of these reactions were elucidated in detail. According to the 1H NMR analyses of aliquots from the reactions with AcCl, trans-1,4-diacetates formed firstly. Upon the continuation of the reaction, trans-1,4-diacetates transformed into trans-1,2-chloroacetates via an SN2' mechanism. Additionally, this explanation was further supported by the soft theoretical and physical calculations.

Günümüz teknolojisinde, tarımsal ilaçlama makinelerinin genişliklerinin artmasıyla ilaç püskürtücü kanatların katlanma ve montaj usullerinde farklılaşmaya gidilmiştir. Orta ve uzun kanatlı ilaçlama makineleri, daha ekonomik ve hızlı ilaçlama avantajlarını sunmakla birlikte arazi, çevre koşulları ve düşük montaj rijitlik etkisiyle kanatlarda ürün ilaçlama kalitesini etkileyen stabilite problemlerine sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, tarımsal ilaçlama makinelerinde kullanılan X tipi katlanır kanatlar ile geleneksel kanatlar; tasarım farklılığı, farklı yüklemeler altında oluşan gerilme ve gerinim bakımından mukayese edilmiştir. Konuyla ilgili literatür araştırması yapıldıktan sonra, her iki kanat tipi tasarlanarak gerekli malzeme sabitlerine ve literatürde belirtilen farklı deplasman değerlerine göre yüklemeler altında yapısal sonlu elemanlar analizleri (FEA) yapılmıştır. Taguchi deney tasarımına göre yapılan FEA neticesinde; X tipi katlanan kanatta maksimum gerilme ve gerinimler püskürtücü kanadın kayar mekanizmaya montaj konstrüksiyonunda, geleneksel kanatlarda profillerin kaynaklı montaj bağlantılarında yoğunlaşmıştır. Ayrıca, FEA analiz sonuçları kullanılarak yapılan Taguchi analizi ile yorumlanarak imalata projeksiyon bilgiler elde edilmiştir.

Published: June 2023

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a widely used insulator in the industry, but it also has a high global warming potential. Studying electron impact ionization of SF6, particularly measuring the energy and angular distributions of the collision products, can provide valuable information about the underlying physics of the collision process and the nature of SF6 molecule. In this study, double differential cross sections (DDCSs) for electron impact ionization of SF6 have measured using a crossed beam experimental setup. The incident electron beam, with an energy range of 50-350 eV, was directed towards a target gas composed of SF6, and scattered electrons were detected as a function of the energy and scattering angle. The findings of this study offer significant insights into the molecular structure of SF6 and will contribute to enhancing the understanding of charged particle interactions involving SF6.

Feeding and reproduction of striped snakehead Channa striata (Bloch, 1793) inhabiting the Gangetic river system
Authors: Khan Salman , Khan M. Afzal , Ankita
Published: June 2023

The striped snakehead Channa striata is a valuable food fish and has a high market value. The feeding and natural breeding grounds of this economically important fish species have been reduced due to increasing anthropogenic activities and habitat alterations in the Gangetic River system. The present study was undertaken to assess the feeding and reproductive biology of C. striata, which is widely distributed in India and many other Asian countries (Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, China, etc.). A total of 400 fish specimens were collected from three sites on three different rivers in Uttar Pradesh, India. Feeding habits, feeding intensity, gonadosomatic index, fecundity, maturity stages based on macroscopic studies, and sex ratio were examined. C. striata was found to be a carnivorous species (dominantly piscivorous). The feeding intensity varied according to season and fish size, with a higher intensity being observed during pre-spawning and post-spawning seasons. The reproductive biology of the striped snakehead from the Gangetic River system demonstrated that the gamete maturation occurred during May to July. The fecundity of C. striata ranged from 3652 to 48,450 eggs. Fecundity was linearly correlated with body length, body weight, and ovarian weight. The average ratio of males to females was observed to be 1:3.2.
Population development of three sympatric dove species in African acacia savanna following a drought
Authors: Kopij Grzegorz
Published: June 2023

The breeding densities of three dove species: Laughing Dove Spilopelia senegalensis, Ring-necked Dove Streptopelia capicola, and Mourning Collared Dove Streptopelia decipiens were studied by means of the territory mapping method in 400 ha of acacia savanna in northern Namibia. About half of the study area comprised cultivated fields, orchards, sport fields and human settlements. The study was conducted in February–June 2020, after a prolonged drought in 2017–2019. During the drought, most doves vacated their territories and ceased to breed, but breeding populations recovered rapidly. The overall population density of all species was the highest in February/March (30.3 pairs / 100 ha), intermediate in April (27.8), and lowest in May/June (23.5). Population densities were higher in the man-modified than in natural savanna. While the population densities in natural savanna significantly increased with the advance of the dry season, in man-modified savanna the densities decreased slightly.
