Authors: Muglisa Bravo Cristina Fernanda , Villalva David
Published: September 2022

La estabilidad laboral es un derecho relativo a cualquier trabajador, así lo propugnan diferentes organizaciones internacionales, entre ellas, la Organización Internacional del Trabajo, (OIT), de hecho, varias de ellas, defienden la protección de los derechos de todos los trabajadores, sean estos, dirigentes sindicales o no, combatiendo la institución jurídica del despido intempestivo, que tanto afecta la estabilidad laboral. Sin embargo, en la realidad puede observarse determinadas afectaciones al principio de igualdad, por ende, como objetivo general en este trabajo se plantea: argumentar la vulneración al principio de igualdad con respecto a los parámetros que sustentan a la estabilidad laboral tanto para dirigentes sindicales, como para trabajadores. Para lograr dicho objetivo se emplearán los métodos científicos, de revisión bibliográfica, analítico -sintético y el inductivo-deductivo, lo que permitirán evidenciar el objetivo general planteado.

VALIDATION OF Σ−YLIQ ATOMIZATION MODEL IN PRESSURE SWIRL ATOMIZER
Authors: Amedorme Sherry K. , Roselina NR.N.
Published: September 2022

In many combustion and agricultural applications atomizers are used to increase the surface area of the liquid to ensure high rates of mixing and improve evaporation. The most common, simple, and reliable atomizer is the pressure swirl atomizer. This atomizer is said to have quality and effective atomization compared to others and induces swirling motion to the liquid and gives a hollow cone spray with air core as it emerges from the exit orifice. To enhance the understanding and prediction of the atomizing characteristics various atomization models are used and need to be investigated experimentally. This paper presents a validation of the Σ−Yliq atomization model of two-phase flow in a pressure swirl atomizer using commercial CFD star-cd code and laser-diffraction based drop measurements. To obtain the best results for the droplet mean diameter between the prediction and the experiment in terms of turbulence different k-e models were evaluated. The results show that the computational predictions of Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) for the model have a good agreement with most of the experimental measurements in the radial positions when standard k-ɛ turbulence was used. However, more divergence was observed between the predictions and the experimental measurements when the RNG and Realizable k-ɛ turbulence models were used in the predictions. It was also observed that the model has good agreement with the mean droplet measurements on the spray centreline and radial axis with a percentage error of less than five percent.

Öz: Araştırmada brassinosteroid (BR) grubu bileşiklerinden 24-epibrassinolid (EBr) ve 22(S), 23(S)-homobrassinolid (HBr)’in çiçek çinsiyet dağılımına etkileri çalışılmıştır. Çalışma Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Bahçe Bitkileri Bölümü’nde 2016-2018 yılları arasında ‘Chandler’ ceviz (Juglans regia L.) çeşidi üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çöğür anaç üzerine ‘Chandler’ ceviz çeşidi aşılanarak toprak: torf: perlit (2:1:1) yetiştirme ortamı ile doldurulmuş 70 litrelik saksılarda yetiştirilmiştir. HBr ve EBr 1 mg L-1 konsantrasyonunda birbirini takip eden iki yıl boyunca kış dinlenme ve tomurcukların uyandığı dönemde iki kez el pülverizatörü kullanarak uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, BR uygulamalarının cevizlerdeki çiçek cinsiyet dağılımını değiştirebileceğini göstermektedir. EBr ve HBr uygulamaları fidan başına dişi, kedicik (erkek) ve toplam çiçek sayısını önemli ölçüde artırmıştır. En fazla dişi çiçek (5.2) HBr uygulanan fidanlarda saptanmıştır. Fidanların yıllık gelişmesi ile dişi çiçek, kedicik ve toplam çiçek sayılarındaki artışın istaistiksel olarak pozitif ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kedicik ve dişi çiçekler arasındaki oransal ilişkinin BR uygulamaları ve fidanların gelişiminden bağımsız olduğu görülmektedir.

Published: September 2022

The study was carried out to enumerate fungal contamination, and toxigenicity of Aspergillus flavus strains on cacao beans during drying and storage. As many as 3500 g cacao beans during drying and storage were purchased from smallholder farmers on the plantation areas at Karo Regency, Northern Sumatera. The percentage of the beans contaminated by fungi was conducted using direct plating. Fungal populations on soil and beans were determined using dilution followed by pour plated in dichloran 18% glycerol agar (DG18) and Aspergillus flavus and parasiticus agar (AFPA). The mycological evaluation was carried out based on morphological characteristics. Results showed eighteen genera of soil fungi were isolated at the cacao plantation; genera of Aspergillus sp., A. niger, A. flavus, and Penicillium citrinum were the most important contaminants. Six species of the fungi were associated with contamination on cocoa beans during drying i.e. Aspergillus sp., Candida tropicalis, Saccharomyces sp., A. niger, Penicillium spp., and Fusarium spp. Whereas three fungal species were associated during storage i.e. A. niger, A. flavus, and P. citrinum. The percentage of cacao contaminated during drying and storage was dominated (>40%) by Aspergillus sp. Fusarium sp. A. niger, A. flavus, and P. citrinum, respectively. Among 21 strains of A. flavus, 3 strains (15%) were isolated from soil, and 18 strains (85%) were isolated from beans during storage. Among toxigenic A. flavus, both strain scaf6 isolated from soil and strain cbaf5 isolated from beans during storage were the highest aflatoxin producers (30.0 ppb). Preventing soil contamination during harvesting, drying, and storage of cacao beans was a prerequisite to minimise fungal contamination.

Authors: HERİANSYAH Pebra , ANWAR Pajri , PRİMA Ari
Published: September 2022

The study aimed to understand how farmers perceive seasonal climate events (SCE) and assess the impact on farming and how farmers’ attitudes and efforts to adapt in dealing with SCE. This study was conducted in Kuantan Singingi Regency, Riau Province, Indonesia, in August - December 2020. Total of 297 farmers was selected purposively to be interviewed. Descriptive statistics analysis was used to analyze socio-demographics, farm characteristics, the impact of SCE on rice production, and farmers’ responses in adapting to SCE as an effect of climate change. Friedman’s test was used to analyzed the importance of climate over other non-climate-related stressors. Ordinal regression analysis was performed for the determination of possible association of farmers’ socio-demographics and farm characteristics to the perceived extent of SCE impact. Flood was the climatic factor that most often caused rice production failure. Farming experience, education, gender, farm size, cultivation period, rice varieties, land management, fertilization, rice field type, and farming purpose have a significant effect on farmers' perceptions of SCE impact. Adjusting the planting season, the use of chemical fertilizers, and controlling pests and diseases were the most dominant responses by farmers in dealing with SCE. Implications: The availability of weather information must be done massively, induction of flood-tolerant varieties needs to be carried out, female farmers with higher education and long experience in farming can be used as cadres as extension officers to farmer groups, planting twice a year was an option to increase rice production, the number of farmers get assistance from extension officers could be increased.

Published: September 2022

Drought is one of the main factors of abiotic stress in the agricultural world. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of drought on Guar (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.) Plant and finally improve the productivity of the grain yield and the qualitative characteristics in case of high dryness by spraying salicylic acid and potassium. This experiment was performed as a plot divided into strips in a randomized complete block with three replicates over two years in Kerman, Iran. Experimental treatments include drought stress at three levels, salicylic acid (three levels) by foliar application, and potassium (two levels). Guar is resistant to high drought stress and has had a significantly improved yield. Applying 100 kg/ha of potassium in combination with a foliar spray with salicylic acid produced the highest potassium and cereal protein content. The results clearly demonstrated that potassium and salicylic acid application at all levels of drought stress and dry conditions had a positive effect on cereal yield and quality features.

Published: September 2022

In this study, the aim was to compare experimental and empirical methods used for estimation the soil water retention under different soil conditions. Soil samples were chosen to represent examples of heavy, medium and light soil structures. Water retention curves were obtained in the laboratory using the standard method. The van Genuchten (1980) (vG), and the Brooks and Corey (1964) (BC) methods were used empirically. Model parameters were determined by artificial neural networks and Solver optimization methods. In addition, soil water retention SWR curves were obtained by using a piecewise regression (PR) method. As a result of the study, determination coefficient R2 values from 0.8946 to 0.9879 were obtained for the vG model, while the Solver method gave better results. R2 values from 0.8914 to 0.9267 were obtained for the BC method and finally from 0.9598 to 0.9717 for the PR method. No clear differences were observed for different soil structures. Finally, the use of PR has been suggested for water retention curves where breakpoints are to be included, and it is also easy to use. In addition, the vG and BC models gave reasonable results for different soil groups. It is understood that the Rosetta method provided with the HYDRUS software program can be used in the case of limited data to determine model parameters. However, the Solver method provided more reliable results and was easy to use with both models.

Published: September 2022

To examine the effect of supplementation of varying levels of the oil of Nigella sativa in Karadi lambs rations on nutrients digestibility, blood metabolites, and some rumen parameters, 18 Karadi lambs were allocated into three groups, and the first group was fed a basal diet as control whereas, the second (T2) and the third (T3) groups fed the basal diet being supplemented with 0.15 and 0.30% of DM Nigella sativa oil (NSO) respectively. All animals were fed individually on 1.5 kg/lamb/day. Results showed that dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), organic matter (OM), and crude fiber (CF) digestibility was not affected (P>0.05) by NSO supplementation. Also, supplementing NSO had no significant effect on serum total protein (TP), albumin (Alb), globulin (Glb), triglycerides (TG), cholesterol (Chol), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) concentrations. There was an increasing trend (P=0.07) in LDL concentration of lambs fed on T2 and T3 as compared to control. Neither treatment nor interaction between time and treatment had an effect on rumen fluid pH. A significant decrease (P=0.008) was noted in rumen fluid pH value with the advances of time post feeding. The ammonia-nitrogen concentration in rumen fluid was generally lower upon oil supplementation, and it was significantly (P=0.03) decreased in the T2 group at 4 hours following morning feeding. It can be concluded that supplementing with 0.15 and 0.3% /DM of NSO showed a reduction in rumen ammonia-nitrogen while it had no effects on nutrient digestibility and blood metabolites in Karadi lambs.

Authors: ORHAN Nuri , ŞAHİN Seda , BAHADIR Mehmet
Published: September 2022

Although flow in biological materials sometimes behaves like a continuous one, it cannot be simulated with continuity-based modeling when it comes to discontinuous flow behavior. The Discrete Element Method (DEM) in combination with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a computational method for modeling particles in fluid flow by tracking their motion. DEM is widely used in the field of engineering, and its use in the agricultural field is increasing. This study analyzes the CFD-DEM relationship of biological material in aerodynamic systems and reviews current applications. In the article, the definition of aerodynamic systems as a basic principle, particle-fluid and particle-particle interaction forces in the system, modeling of particle motions, CFD-DEM coupling method, and analysis applications of agricultural aerodynamic systems are examined. In this study, simulation experiments were carried out at 100 g/s and 200 g/s straw feeding values at each value of 18-15-12-10-8-6-4 m/s air and straw inlet velocities. The flow near the cyclone walls caused the straw particles to be directed towards the lower exit end of the cyclone. At feed densities of 100 g/s and 200 g/s, the least particle output was obtained at a rate of 18 m/s. The highest cyclone output efficiency was obtained at feed densities of 100 g/s and 200 g/s at a velocity of 12 m/s. The compatibility of the trial simulation results with the literature showed that the CFD-DEM application is an important approach to study the behavior of particulate matter in fluids.
Plant defense elicitor, 2, 4-dichloro-6-{(E)-[(3-methoxyphenyl) imino] methyl} phenol (DPMP) and its mode of action against fungal pathogen Alternaria solani in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Published: September 2022

Biotic stress factors are one of the major constraints plants face, and they significantly affect production and yield. There are multiple ways to cope with stress factors, including genetic enhancement. When they cannot provide sufficient protection, pesticides are commonly applied. Plant defense elicitors are a new approach for boosting plants' natural immune responses and tolerance levels. The newly identified promising plant defense elicitor; 2, 4-dichloro-6-{(E)-[(3-methoxyphenyl) imino] methyl} phenol (DPMP) was previously studied against the oomycete Hyaloperonospora arabidopsidis, the bacterial pathogens Pseudomonas syringae and Clavibacter michiganensis ssp michiganensis and found to induce disease resistance against these phytopathogens. However, it was not tested against fungal pathogens. Here for the first time, DPMP was evaluated against one of the most destructive fungal pathogens, Alternaria solani. Disease severity and plant development were evaluated. The results revealed that DPMP neither inhibited nor enhanced the disease severity of A. solani. Gene expression of several salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, and ethylene pathway-related genes (Pti4, TPK1b, Pto kinase, PRB1‐2, SABP2, and PR3) were also analyzed. According to the results, while DPMP induces PRB1-2, TPK1b, and Pto kinase gene expressions, the protection against A. solani does not occur via these genes. PR3 is one of the most important genes for defense responses against necrotrophic pathogens, and DPMP downregulated gene expression of PR3. These results demonstrated that DPMP mostly takes a role through the SA-related defense pathway and was effective against biotrophic and hemibiotrophic pathogens. However, it is not suitable for protection against the necrotrophic pathogen A. solani. Further research may pinpoint the activity of DPMP on the defense pathway and provide a better understanding of the mode of action for DPMP and other plant elicitors for specific plant protection solutions.

Citrus spp. is widely planted in tropical and subtropical regions, including in Turkey and other Mediterranean countries. Due to its widespread vector and climate change, Citrus chlorotic dwarf-associated virus (CCDaV), a member of the newly formed genus Citlodavirus, is one of the emerging viruses that can be a serious constraint to Citrus crops production in the coming years. Therefore, in-silico analysis on all available isolates in NCBI GenBank was performed to provide the first insight into the genetic population and evolution of CCDaV, which may contribute to its control. CCDaV phylogroups based on full genome, complete movement protein, and complete coat protein sequences were found to be not associated with isolate origins or host species, and all isolates also shared a high genetic identity among them. However, neutrality tests indicated that the current populations are expanding, driven by new mutations. Low Fixation index (FST) values (0.00000-0.36207) confirmed no genetic separation among different ORFs of isolates from three countries. The constructed TimeTree suggested that CCDaV emergence was very recent compared to the other three members of the genus Citlodavirus. Therefore, the obtained results of this study could also expand our knowledge on other even more obscure citladovirus and even other plant DNA viruses, which are still less studied than RNA viruses.

This study gathered statistical data about bird strikes from various countries, including Türkiye. The study aims to compare the bird strike events that occurred in Türkiye and other countries by investigating bird strike data analysis from targeted countries. In this context, data on bird strikes per 10000 flights, distribution of the number of birds strikes according to months, phases of flight, the components hit by the birds, and the time of the event occurred on a day were presented. The data includes findings from Türkiye, USA, UK, Australia, Finland, Iran, and Czechia. When the results were evaluated, it was concluded that bird strikes are an essential factor to consider for safety and risk management. It is crucial that countries must conduct regular reporting to manage this safety issue. With the help of appropriate modelling conducted via proper measurements, the industry will come a long way in solving the safety issues caused by bird strikes.

The paper aims to understand the combination of biomimicry and the BREEAM category of energy to identify innovative solutions for sustainable architecture and sustainable urbanism. It purposes to find similarities between biomimicry and the BREEAM category of energy by selecting and analyzing literature. The study aims to indicate potential applications of biomimicry, and the BREEAM category of energy focused on building design. The main question of this research is to discover how biomimicry and the BREEAM category of energy could combine to identify innovative solutions to address sustainable architecture and sustainable urbanism? The research required a systematic literature review for identifying, collecting, and analyzing relevant studies. JSTOR, Science Direct, and Microsoft Academic were used as repositories and led to the identification of 3855 studies. After screening, eligibility, and inclusion, 39 studies were included in the systematic literature review. More studies discussed sustainable architecture and required classification through subthemes: biomimetic design and associated principles; building skin; integrated framework; designing with BREEAM. The paper provides insight into biomimetic design approaches and energy management combining to ensure sustainability ranging from a building to an urban environment. The chosen research method causes the research results to lack generalizability since it does not associate with other BREEAM categories such as health and wellbeing, innovation, land use, materials, management, pollution, transport, waste, and water. The research fulfills the need to study the combination of biomimicry and one of the BREEAM categories to identify innovative solutions for sustainable architecture and sustainable urbanism.
Anti-spoofing detection based on eyeblink liveness testing for iris recognition

Published: September 2022

Iris pattern is the most stable biometric trait for personal identification. It is the only traits that can’t be used after a person death. Despite its stability and difficulty to spoof, it has found that presenting a high quality image of an iris one can spoof and gain an access. Furthermore, the use of video frames of an authorized personnel and the use of 3D models can cheat the system. This study aimed at presenting a solution to this problem by testing the liveness of an eye being scanned by an access control device. The algorithm works by additional process of detecting an eyeblink and background subtraction and correlation to assume liveness. For one to gain access, first an iris is scanned and identified, secondly if this iris is in the database before providing an access, an eyeblink is also sensed. If eyeblink is sensed an access is granted otherwise access is denied. An algorithm has been developed in MATLAB adopting an adaptive Canny method for edge detection. The proposed algorithm validates the user being scanned by two stages which are; Eyeblink detection, background subtraction and correlation. Testing on standard datasets of ZJU Eyeblink, ACASIA v3 and the TalkingFace databases showed show 96.47% accuracy.
