Published: September 2019

Background: This study used the uncontrolled manifold (UCM) approach to study joint coordination underlying the control of task-related variables important for success at dart throwing skill. Success at a task can be achieved, in principle, by always adopting a particular joint combination. In contrast, we adopt a more selective control strategy: variations of the joint configuration that leave the values of essential task variables unchanged are predicted to be less controlled (i.e., stabilized to a lesser degree) than joint configuration changes that shift the values of the task variables. Objectives: How this abundance of motor solutions is managed by the nervous system and whether and how the throwing in different distances affects the solution to joint coordination was investigated in this study. Methods: Our experimental task involved dart throwing to a target under three conditions (standard, short and long distance) that it performed by fifteen dart professional and semiprofessional athletes. The four joint angles of the arm were obtained from the recorded positions of markers on the limb segments. The variability of joint configurations was decomposed into components lying parallel to those sets and components lying in their complement with respect to control of the path of the arm’s center of mass and spatial position of the hand. Results: When performing the task in all three different conditions, fluctuations of joint configuration that affected arm’s center of mass and spatial position variables were much reduced compared with fluctuations that did not affect these variables. The UCM principle applied to arm’s center of mass and spatial position thus captures the structure of the motor control system across different parts of joint configuration space as the movement evolves in time. Moreover, constraints representing an invariant arm’s center of mass or the spatial position structured joint configuration variability in the early and mid-portion of the movement trajectory, but not at the time of throwing. This specific control strategy indicate a target can be hit successfully also by controlling irrelevant directions in joint space equally to relevant ones. Conclusion: The results suggests a specific control strategy in which changes of joint configuration that are irrelevant to success at the task are selectively released from control. As a result, the method can be successfully used to determine the structure of coordination in joint space that underlies the control of the essential variables for a given task.

Authors: Vanegas Vásquez Orfa Kelita
Published: September 2019

se propone un estudio del espacio ficcional como elemento cardinal de lo narrado, que toma sentido y representación a partir de la memoria emocional de los personajes. Las narrativas en cuestión se caracterizan por representar los lugares: urbanos, familiares, rurales, etc., como focos de memoria del pasado violento. La narración afectiva de sucesos relacionados con la violencia política “espacializa” la historia, e identifica el recorrido del terror en proceso de construcción de sus propios escenarios y arquitecturas. Asimismo, el lugar literario suministra asidero para el recobro del pasado, lo personal y la futura memoria.

Human Rights as a Common Interest of the International Community under the Law of International Responsibility
Authors: Lipkina N. N.
Published: September 2019

Human rights are playing an increasingly important role in the functioning and development of society, and the international legal regulation of the sphere of inter-State cooperation on human rights has acquired a number of specific features that have a significant impact on the development of various institutions of international law, including the law of international responsibility. The purpose of the article is to analyze the features and problems of implementation of the methodology of ensuring the common interest of the international community as a whole that includes protection of human rights under the law of international responsibility. The author considers the category “common interests of the international community as a whole,” and explores its importance in the process of intensification of interstate cooperation in the field of human rights. It is noted that such instruments of ensuring the implementation of the common interests of the international community as a whole as norms of jus cogens and obligations erga omnes predetermine the specifics of the content of the secondary rules of the law of international responsibility. These include rules establishing circumstances precluding the wrongfulness of an act, establishing the consequences of serious breaches of obligations arising from peremptory norms of international law governing the invocation of responsibility by a State other than an injured State. The author emphasizes the significance of the instruments under consideration in the process of establishing the features of the content of individual constructions of the law of international responsibility. Attention is drawn to the fact that implementation of the common interest of the international community as a whole ensuring promotion and protection of human rights in the law of international responsibility entails some difficulties arising due to the lack, inter alia, of consensus concerning methodology for classifying international law as jus cogens norms and the existence of different approaches to understanding the content and structure of human rights per se. It is concluded that, despite the existence of these problems, it is impossible to deny the significant influence of norms of jus cogens and obligations erga omnes on the content of international legal regulation of various areas of international cooperation in the context of the growing trend towards the communitarization of international law and humanization of international relations.
Violent Crime and IT Technologies
Authors: Artyushina O. V.
Published: September 2019

The article is devoted to the criminological study of quantitative and qualitative changes in criminal violence in modern Russia with due regard to the official statistical data collected by the Main Information and Analytical Center of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the period from 2012 to 2018 and modern processes in the social development. It examines the state and dynamics of crimes against the person including their most dangerous types (murders, intentional inflictions of serious harm to health, and rapes) as the basis of violent crime. The author determines the range of acts that can be committed using information and telecommunications networks, including the Internet, and evaluates the prospects for violent crimes committed by remote means. The paper proves that the related new trends of computerization, youthification, intellectualization and high level of natural latency, which were not previously characteristic of violent crime, can now be revealed. As the methodological basis of the research, the author relies on the fundamental laws of materialistic dialectics and the theory of cognition, general scientific philosophical approach to the study of social phenomena, logical, historical, system-structural and statistical, as well as concrete-sociological methods of research: document analysis and monitoring. In conclusion, the author substantiates the conclusion about inexhaustible relevance of the study of criminal violence caused by the non-ideal and contradictory nature of the man. The author considers as promising the development and application in legal science of the ideas of modern Russian philosophy concerning the need to analyze the results of progress, control over its course and consequences of introduction of high technologies. In order to solve the urgent theoretical and practical issues of combating “new” violent crime an integrative approach to definition of the methodology of criminological research that involves the development of existing problems at the intersection of the already established violensology and the current implications of the philosophy of criminological cyberology.

AIR QUALITY FORECASTING FOR ALL SEASONS IN LARGE GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS
Authors: ŞORA GÜNAL Efnan
Published: September 2019

Today,
air quality monitoring plays a vital role due to increasing number of
pollutants that threaten human health. Importance of providing accurate
information on air quality for forthcoming times is therefore very high. For
this purpose, many studies have been carried out to develop air quality
forecasting models. However, most of these studies focus on a particular season
and relatively small geographical areas. In this paper, unlike the previous
ones, an air quality forecasting model is proposed for all seasons in large
geographical areas. Turkiye that is a pretty large country where there are
seven distinct regions with different geographical and meteorological
characteristics is selected to apply the forecasting model. The proposed model categorizes
the upcoming 6-hour air quality level as “healthy”, “moderate” and “unhealthy”.
The model utilizes low and high order statistical features extracted from the
measurements of air quality monitoring stations covering most parts of the
geographical regions of Turkiye. The features are then fed into both linear and
non-linear classifiers including artificial neural networks, Fisher’s linear
discriminant analysis, nearest neighbor and Bayes classifier. Results of the
experimental study indicate that the proposed forecasting model is a promising
candidate to predict air quality through all seasons at relatively large
geographical areas with varying characteristics.
OPTIMIZING THE THERMAL TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF SINGLE LAYER (2D) TRANSITION METAL DICHALCOGENIDES (TMD)
Authors: KARAASLAN Yenal , YAPICIOĞLU Haluk , SEVİK Cem
Published: September 2019

In order to characterize thermal dependent physical properties of materials, potentially to be used in technological applications, an accurate interatomic-potential parameter set is a must. In general, conjugate-gradient methods and more recently, metaheuristics such as genetic algorithms are employed in determining these interatomic potentials, however, especially the use of metaheuristics specifically designed for optimization of real valued problems such as particle swarm and evaluation strategies are limited in the mentioned problem. In addition, some of these parameters are conflicting in nature, for which multi objective optimization procedures have a great potential for better understanding of these conflicts. In this respect, we aim to present a widely used interatomic potential parameter set, the Stillinger–Weber potential, obtained through three different optimization methods (particle swarm optimization, PSO, covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategies, CMA-ES, and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm, NSGA-III) for two-dimensional materials MoS2, WS2, WSe2, and MoSe2. These two-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides are considered as a case mainly due to their potential in a variety of promising technologies for next generation flexible and low-power nanoelectronics, (such as photonics, valleytronics, sensing, energy storage, and optoelectronic devices) as well as their excellent physical properties (such as electrical, mechanical, thermal, and optical properties) different from those of their bulk counterparts. The results show that the outputs of all optimization methods converge to ideal values with sufficiently long iterations and at different trials. However, when we consider the results of the statistical analyses of different trials under similar conditions, we observe that the method with the lowest error rate is the CMA-ES.

Published: September 2019

Background: The study aims to examine the association between lifestyle habits and breast cancer risk in a Moroccan population.Methods: This is a case-control study conducted at the Mohammed VI Centre for cancer treatment in Casablanca.Results: The results highlighted that family history of breast cancer (OR=5.73) and alcohol consumption                     (OR=3.76) were positively associated with breast cancer. Analysis of anthropometric parameters showed that the risk of developing breast cancer is estimated at 1.78 in overweight women and 2.39 in obese women compared to those of normal weight. The risk of developing breast cancer is estimated at 1.82 for women with a WC greater than 88 cm and 1.70 for women with a WHR greater than 0.85. At age 10, the risk is 1.60 for women with a large figure compared to women with a small figure. However, at age 40, the average body shape relative to the lean body was associated with a decreased risk of breast cancer. In addition, the data confirmed that physical activity participation decreases with age; in childhood and adolescence, women are more active while in post-menopause, women become moderately active. Being very active in childhood, peri-menopause and post-menopause seems to be a protective factor against the occurrence of breast cancer.Conclusions: The study showed that the risk of breast cancer is potentially high in elderly women, overweight women and women with a family history of cancer. This risk was increased by behavioral factors such as toxic habits and physical inactivity.

Authors: Pillai Avani , T. Fessylouis , P. Ramesh , T. Parvathy , N. Aparna
Published: September 2019

Background: There is conflicting evidence with regards to the impact of supraphysiologic estradiol levels in in-vitro fertilisation-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI) cycles on pregnancy outcomes such as oocyte quality, implantation, and clinical pregnancy. The objective of our study was to evaluate the effect of serum estradiol levels on the day of ovulation trigger on pregnancy outcomes in IVF-ICSI cycles.Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study, which included eighty-three women who underwent IVF-ICSI and experienced fresh embryo transfer (ET) over one year period. The women included in the study were divided into four groups according to the serum estradiol level on the day of ovulation trigger; Group I: <2000pg/ml, Group II: 2000-3000pg/ml, Group III: 3000-4000pg/ml and Group IV: >4000pg/ml. The outcome measures including number of oocytes retrieved, MII (metaphase II) oocytes, fertilization rate, embryo quality, overall pregnancy rate, implantation rate and clinical pregnancy rate were compared among these four groups.Results: The total number of oocytes, MII oocytes as well as good quality embryos significantly increased from group 1 to group 4. The implantation rate was lowest in group 4 compared to all other groups, although not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in overall and clinical pregnancy rate between the groups.Conclusions: Serum estradiol level shows a positive correlation with the number of oocytes retrieved and good quality embryos. A higher estradiol level does not have a significant negative impact on the implantation rate, overall or clinical pregnancy rate.

Background: Estimation of serum PAPP-A levels studied predictability for adverse perinatal outcome. This case control study tries to establish the association between low PAPP-A levels among the pregnant woman and adverse maternal foetal outcome.Methods: This is an case-control study during 2017-2018 in the women delivered at Department of OBG at Mehta Hospitals. Women delivered in the labour room  had a first trimester screening of PAPP-A level were explained, taken informed consent, questionnaire which include detailed antenatal history, mode of delivery and baby data.  Depending upon outcome, the subjects are classified as case group or control group, out of the study sample of 264 subjects, 88 patients who had complications were taken as cases and 176 patients with no complications taken as control were undertaken.Results: Low PAPP-A level (<0.5 MoM) showed high incidence of PIH and preeclampsia, followed by IUGR and Preterm. PAPP-A level >0.5 MoM, normal outcome is more than the adverse outcome. The difference in the PAPP-A levels is statistically significant. In women with low PAPP A level, low birth weight found statistically significant when compared with <0.5 PAPP A level. The sensitivity of PAPP A levels in identifying the complicated outcomes was 17.04%.The specificity was 98.85%. The positive predictive value of predicting the complications was 88.23% and negative predictive value of 70.44%.Conclusions: The low PAPP-A levels confirmed during first trimester of pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and foetal outcome such as PIH, preeclampsia, preterm, IUGR and LBW.
Classification of births according to Robson 10 group classification: an emerging concept to audit the increasing caesarean section rate
Authors: Kolusu Priyanka , Himabindu Palutla
Published: September 2019

Background: High caesarean birth rates are an issue of international public health concern. Worries over such increases have led the WHO to advice that caesarean section rate should not be more than 15%. WHO proposes that the health care facilities to use the Robson’s 10 group classification system to audit their CS rates. Our aim was to investigate the CS rates in a period of 6 months using Robso’s 10 group classification.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted for a period of 6 months from July 2018 to December 2018 in Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Siddhartha medical college which is a tertiary care center .All women delivered during this period in labour ward were included. All relevant obstetric information (parity, mode of previous deliveries, previous CS and indications, gestational age, onset of labor) was entered on a questionnaire and classified into Robson’s 10 classes and percentages were calculated.Results: Total number of deliveries in 6 months is 4719 out of which C-sections are 1816 which accounts for 38.48%. Highest contribution was by group 5 and group 2. Together these two groups contribute to 62.4% of the total caesarean sections. Group 6 and group 9 by themselves did not contribute much but within their groups had 100% C-section rates.Conclusions: Robson’s 10 group classification provides easy way in collecting information about caesarean section rate which obtains good insight into certain birth groups. Number of women who attempt VBAC has declined over recent years due to fear of uterine rupture. Reducing primary C-section rates, adequate counseling and changing norms for non-reassuring fetal status could reduce contribution of Robson’s groups towards absolute C-section rates.
Prevalence of Chlamydia pneumoniae seropositivity in early pregnancy and its association with preeclampsia among primigravidae in Indian population
Authors: Sindhu Lavi , Yadav Bindoo , Batra Aruna
Published: September 2019

Background: Preeclampsia (PE) is a multifactorial disease that might be caused by a concurrent or preceding inflammatory stimulus. Inflammatory changes similar to those reported in chronic Chlamydia pneumoniae infection are seen in PE. It is suggested that persistent or chronic Chlamydia pneumoniae infection might have a role in the pathogenesis of PE and antichlamydial treatment in early pregnancy may prevent reactivation of infection and hence the development of preeclampsia.Methods: This randomized interventional study was conducted to determine the prevalence of C.pneumoniae IgG seropositivity in early pregnancy, its association with PE and the effect of treatment with oral azithromycin. A total of 330 primigravidae included in the study were followed up till delivery. C.pneumoniae IgG antibodies measured by ELISA technique at 14-20 weeks of gestation revealed seropositivity in 32.4%. These women were at higher risk of developing severe PE (odds’ ratio 3.2) as compared to the C. pneumoniae seronegative cases.Results: Treatment with oral azithromycin resulted in reduction in the occurrence of PE amongst the C.pneumoniae seropositive cases; as well as significant reduction in the incidence of low birth weight babies in the C.pneumonie seropositive group (p<0.001, ARR= 0.204).Conclusions: Pregnant women who were C.pneumonia IgG seropositive are at higher risk of developing severe preeclmapsia as compared to the C.pneumoniae seronegative cases. This association needs to be further evaluated.

Authors: Sharma Varuni , Shukla Navin
Published: September 2019

Background: Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) remain a major global health issue not only because of the associated high adverse maternal outcomes but there is a close accompaniment of significant perinatal morbidity. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), a condition that occurs due to various reasons, is an important cause of fetal. It has been defined as a rate of fetal growth that is less than normal in light of the growth potential of that specific infant. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence and risk factor for IUGR among the PIH patient.Methods: A prospective randomized controlled clinical trial of 25 patients was carried out in Kamla Raja Hospital and Out Patient Department of Gajra Raja Medical College, Gwalior from October 6th to October 2007. A total number of 25 patients were included in study of PIH.Results: conclude that the prevalence and risk factor for IUGR among the PIH patient.  The Distribution prevalence of sociodemographical factor for IUGR among PIH patient is statistically not significant. It concluded that there is no significance (no effect) between risk factors of IUGR among the pregnancy induced hypertension.Conclusions: The prevalence of IUGR found in this study. There is need to increase awareness among medical and paramedical personnel on the need for early referral of women with previous history of IUGR, preeclampsia, multiple gestations, gestational diabetes and obesity for specialist care as they have a higher risk.

Published: September 2019

Background: During the last few decades hysteroscopy has become a tool of choice for evaluation of uterine cavity due to its “see and treat “benefits. It is more accurate and less invasive. Introduction of hysteroscopy in gynecological practice is the need of time. Aim of our study is to share the experience of hysteroscopy, its learning curve and limitations in a rural tertiary care center of Haryana.Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all the hysteroscopy procedure done from January 2016 to December 2018 from the hospital records.Results: Total 118 hysteroscopy were done but record of only 110 was available. Out of 110, 37(33%) were operative and 73(67%) were diagnostic. 36% were done for AUB, 33%  for infertility, 15% for misplaced cu t, 6% for amenorrhea, 2% in cases of RPL and rest for some less common indications. Out of operative hysteroscopy major procedures done were polypectomy and removal of misplaced Cu-T. Septal resection was also done in 3 cases. Number of operative hysteroscopy has increased over the time period of study.Conclusions: Hysteroscopic evaluation of uterine cavity is a reliable method for both diagnostic and treatment purpose. Proportion of hysteroscopy procedures and its learning curve will improve with persistent effort.
Laproscopic evaluation in primary female infertility
Authors: Bhatia Ruby , Kaur Paramjit , Kaur Gurpinder , Mor Sunita
Published: September 2019

Background: Infertility is defined as inability to conceive within one or more years of regular unprotected coitus. Infertility has now a days not only a medical but a social problem as well. Ignorance and illiteracy, coupled with hesitancy to discuss the problem, complicates the matter further. WHO has listed infertility as a global health issue.Methods: The present study was conducted on 64 patients with female factor primary infertility admitted in department of obstetrics and gynecology at Rajendra Hospital, Patiala over a duration of 1 year (December 2013- November 2014). All the patients had normal semen study of their partner.Results: In our study mean age was 27.87±4.57. No patient was above 40 years of age. Duration of infertility between 1-5 years was in 47 patients (73.43%), nine patients (14.06%) were infertile for 6-10 years. Out of 64 patients of primary infertility, majority of patients were of endometriosis 15(23.43%), followed by pelvic inflammatory disease14(21.87%), tubal blockade in 7(10.9%), PCOD in 6(9.37%). 14.08% patients had normal laproscopic study. 34 patients (53.12%) had bilateral spill while no spill was seen in 12 patients (18.75%). Unilateral spill was seen in seven patients (10.93%) while six patients (9.37%) had delayed spill.Conclusions: Prevalence of infertility is increasing, so is the awareness and treatment seeking behavior. The present study assures that in evaluation and workup of primary infertility patients, after baseline noninvasive investigations, endometrial sampling and HSG, the diagnostic and operative laproscopy is an excellent tool for evaluation of tubal factor. Least expected conditions like endometriosis on clinical evaluation, can be diagnosed and treated with ease on laproscopy. Although tubal factor has been considered to be responsible for a large percentage of cases with female secondary infertility since decades, but in present study laproscopic evaluation confirmed tubal factor in 85.01% cases with female factor infertility.

Authors: Singh Sanjay
Published: September 2019

The second stage of labor begins with full dilatation of cervix and ends with delivery of the fetus. In most of the cases the labor progresses uneventfully, without any need of an active intervention but in few cases complications may occur.  With passage of time there has been better understanding about second stage of labor, still there are several grey areas yet to be resolved. This review endeavours to scrutinize a variety of care practices including positions, time and type of pushing, use of epidural analgesia, and perineal support techniques etc and discuss evidence based management of second stage of labor. The review was carried out in the period of 1900-2019 by searching in Pub Med, Embase, Scopus, Google scholar, Web of sciences using relevant key words. Reports, articles, fact sheets and official publications of World health Organization (WHO), Ministry of health and family welfare-Govt of India and various other countries were also reviewed.

Published: September 2019

В условиях интенсификации осмысления учеными развития национальной экономики в координатах пространства, представляет интерес изучение системы высшего образования в рамках пространственного подхода. Актуальность исследования обусловлена отсутствием единообразия в теоретических подходах к понятию образовательного пространства, которое в исследовании рассматривается в разрезе ряда дисциплинарных наук: философии, социологии, педагогике, юриспруденции. Обобщение и оценка научных подходов позволила выделить наиболее важные аспекты природы образовательного пространства, объединяющие большинство научных взглядов: образовательное пространство рассматривается как общественное отношение, поле взаимодействий акторов, имеющих общие интересы, институты, взаимосвязи. Сложность исследования образовательного пространства обусловлена не только отсутствием теоретического единообразия научных подходов, но и критериев оценки, а также устойчивых характеристик. Таким образом, осмысление концепта «образовательное пространство» обладает определенным научным потенциалом и перспективой дальнейшего изучения и уточнения.

В связи с внедрением новейших технологий окружающий мир претерпевает постоянные изменения. Претерпевают изменения и условия приёма на работу. Работодатели значительно скрупулёзней отбирают кадры, включая в перечень требований, необходимых для соискателя, порой самые неожиданные. Однако, на первом месте традиционно остаются профильное образование и опыт работы кандидата.
В данной статье авторами предпринята попытка разобраться, какое из требований важнее, и чему отдают предпочтение работодатели: диплому (свидетельству, удостоверению), подтверждающему теоретические знания в профессиональной сфере, или наличию опыта работы по профилю. В частности, названы специальности, для которых высшее профессиональное образование – это обязательное условие; обрисована ситуация, когда опыт важнее академических знаний; рассмотрена зависимость заработной платы от наличия диплома; обозначен вопрос, каким должен быть университет будущего.

Erozyon Duyarlılık Parametrelerinin Farklı Enterpolasyon Yöntemleriyle Konumsal Dağılımlarının Belirlenmesi: Türkiye, Ilgaz Milli Park Toprakları
Authors: CELİLOV Celalledin , DENGİZ Orhan
Published: September 2019

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Ilgaz Milli Park sınırları
içerisinde dağılım gösteren toprakların; toprak aşınım faktörü (USLE-K),
dispersiyon oranı ve kil oranı gibi bazı erozyon duyarlılık parametrelerinin
belirlenmesi ve Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri yardımıyla farklı enterpolasyon
yöntemleri kullanılarak konumsal dağılımlarının haritalanmasıdır. Bu amaçla, çalışma
alanından rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle 0-20 cm toprak derinliğinden 151 adet toprak örneği alınmıştır.
Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, araştırma alanı topraklarının büyük bir kısmının
erozyona karşı oldukça yüksek duyarlı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca, duyarlılık
parametreleri ile toprakların diğer fiziksel ve kimyasal özellikleri arasındaki
korelasyon analizi sonucuna göre; USLE-K ile organik madde, kireç, kil ve silt
arasında p<0.01 önem düzeyinde negatif ilişki belirlenirken, hacim ağırlığı
ve kum arasında p<0.01 önem düzeyinde pozitif ilişki görülmüştür. Bu duruma
yönelik olarak benzer sonuçlar kil haricinde dispersiyon oranında da
belirlenmiştir. Kil oranı yönünden, organik madde ile herhangi bir ilişki
görülmezken, kil ve silt ile p<0.05 önem düzeyinde negatif, kum ile pozitif
ilişki belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, araştırma alanı topraklarının büyük bir
kısmının erozyona karşı duyarlılıkları oldukça yüksek olması nedeniyle, organik
madde kapsamını ve hidrolik geçirgenliğini arttırıcı ve strüktürünü geliştirici
önlemlerin alınmasının yanı sıra, üzerinde yer alan bitki örtüsünün tahrip
edilmemesi de gerekmektedir.

Published: September 2019

Milletlerin çocuklarına ad verme gelenekleri ve usulleri farklıdır. Türk kültüründe kişinin adı, onun kaderiyle ilgili olduğu için adların seçimine özen gösterilmiş, çocuklara ad verme gelenekleri çok eski devirlerde oluşmaya başlamış ve bazı değişikliklerle günümüze kadar ulaşmıştır. Türkmen Türklerinin tarihî süreçte yaşadıkları siyasi ve dinî değişiklikler, onların ad verme âdetlerini etkilemiştir. Kişi adları üzerinden de Türk kültürünün yansımalarını, Orta Asya’daki inanışları, İslamlığın etkisini ve Sovyet baskısını anlamak ve sosyolojik değişiklikleri izlemek mümkündür. Türkmen Türkçesinde fiillerden yapılan kişi adlarıyla ilgili bu çalışmada, yaklaşık 7000 kişi adından 901’inin fiillerden yapıldığı tespit edildi. Bunların 76’sı kız adı, 29’u hem erkekler hem kızlar için ortak olarak kullanılan kişi adıdır. Erkek çocuklarına verilen fiil kökenli isimlerin sayısı ise 796’dır. Türkçedeki bazı yapım eklerinin özellikle sıfat-fiil yapma eklerinin kişi adları türetmede de kullanıldığı görülmektedir. İncelememizde on adedi yapım eki, dokuzu fiilimsi ve dördü kiplik olmak üzere toplam yirmi üç şekil tespit edilmiştir.
Evaluasi Potensi Sedimen Perairan Sebagai Sumber Kontaminan Logam Berat (Pb, Cu, Zn) Di Badan Air Pada Wilayah Reklamasi Lumpur Lapindo
Authors: Anitra Novi , Rumhayati Barlah , Retnaningdyah Catur
Published: September 2019

Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah mengevaluasi potensi sedimen perairan di wilayah reklamasi lumpur Lapindo sebagai sumber kontaminan logam berat (Pb, Cu, Zn) di badan air muara Sungai Porong, Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Evaluasi dilakukan dengan menentukan nilai faktor kontaminasi (Contamination Factor, CF) dan kode penilaian resiko (Risk Assessment Code, RAC) berdasarkan konsentrasi fraksi geokimia logam berat dalam sedimen. Fraksi logam berat ditentukan dengan metode ekstraksi bertahap (sequential extraction) BCR dimodifikasi oleh Chakraborty. Sampel sedimen diambil pada dua lokasi di muara Sungai Porong, yaitu pada lokasi 1 yaitu 7°34'26.76" LS, 112°52'53.76" BT dan lokasi 2 yaitu 7°33'31.35" LS, 112°51'05.56"BT. Sampel diambil dengan menggunakan Eickman Grab sampler, disimpan dalam wadah gelap pada suhu 40C. Konsentrasi logam berat ditentukan dengan Spektrofotometri Serapan Atom. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada kedua lokasi nilai CF(Cu) lebih tinggi dibandingkan CF(Pb) dan CF(Zn). Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Cu memiliki waktu retensi lebih singkat dibandingkan kedua logam lainnya dalam sedimen. Dengan kata lain, Cu lebih mudah terlepas dari sedimen dan menuju badan air sehingga dapat mengkontaminasi badan air. Berdasarkan nilai RAC, sedimen di lokasi 2 memiliki potensi lebih besar melepaskan logam Cu dalam  fraksi 1 (fraksi logam berat terlarut dalam air pori sedimen) dan fraksi 2 (fraksi logam berat mudah tertukar dan dalam bentuk karbonat) yang dapat dimanfaatkan langsung oleh biota di badan air. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa meskipun mangrove yang ditanam di wilayah reklamasi Lumpur Lapindo dapat mengabsorpsi logam berat tetapi sedimen perairan di wilayah tersebut memiliki potensi sebagai sumber kontaminan Cu, terutama di wilayah reklamasi yang berhubungan dengan laut.
