Significant concerns have been raised about the potential harmful impact of radio frequencies (RF) transmitted from these devices, especially with the excessive usage of mobile telecommunication systems. A faraday cage was constructed to house cell culture plates in between a radio transmitter and its receiver. Three different cell lines were cultured on 10μg/mL of collagen and fibronectin and exposed to RF using an 8-bit encrypted pulse signal at 433 MHz, 1.02 (Amps) for 3 hours to determine the cell proliferation effects. The results demonstrated that HFF-1 on fibronectin with RF exposure compared to no exposure significantly increased the proliferation rate by 1.55-folds on days 3 and 1.53-folds on day 7, respectively. HFF-1 on collagen with radio transmission compared to no transmission, the proliferation rate significantly increased on 2.34-folds on day 3 and 2.18-folds on day 7 respectively. In contrast, the SKBR3 on fibronectin with radio transmission compared to no transmission the proliferation rate significantly increased by 2.63-folds on day 3 and significantly decreased by 1.68-folds on day 7. Likewise, SKBR3 on collagen with radio transmission unveiled the proliferation rate significantly increased by 1.11-folds on day 3 and significantly decreased by 6.49-folds on day 7. Moreover, L6 on fibronectin with RF exposure compared to no exposure, the proliferation rate significantly decreased by 1.54-folds on day 7. L6 on collagen with radio transmission, revealed the proliferation rate significantly increased by 1.69-folds on day 3 and significantly decreased by 1.64-folds on day 7. In conclusion, radio transmission exposure significantly increases the proliferation rate of HFF-1 cell-lines and significantly decreases the cell proliferation of both the SKBR3 and L6 cell lines overall.
Navigating cultural diversity and conversation barriers in palliative care: a mini review
Authors: Nassif Rawan
Published: May 2024

Navigating cultural diversity while providing palliative care is crucial to ensure that healthcare providers offer their patients the best possible care. Palliative care is increasingly confronted with cultural diversity. To achieve quality care, clinicians must be culturally competent and receive cross-cultural training. Culturally competent clinicians are those who adhere to organizational policies, undergo cross-culture training, and utilize the latest advances to enhance communication, improve health outcomes, and reduce racial and ethnic health disparities. Objective: The main aim of this review is to understand the complexities and challenges associated with navigating cultural diversity in palliative care. This entails recognizing and addressing religious beliefs, family roles, and other culturally rooted practices and perceptions that could influence the delivery of palliative care. Findings: Various cultural barriers have been identified that healthcare providers face, including communication barriers, religious beliefs, family roles, beliefs about suffering and pain, alternative medicines, trust in healthcare providers, radical and ethnic bias, and gender bias. Technological advances, organizational policies, and targeted education can mitigate these cultural and cross-cultural communication barriers. Enhanced training fosters understanding and ensures that diverse populations receive respectful end-of-life and palliative care. Such strategies promote trust, enhance patient-provider relationships, and lead to improved health outcomes. Conclusion: Navigating cultural diversity in palliative care is crucial. Despite the presence of various technological advancements, the ongoing necessity for healthcare providers to possess cultural competence and sensitivity remains evident. Continuous training, education, and heightened awareness are essential. The implementation of IA tools, revisions to organizational policies, and the enhancement of medical training can contribute to achieving cultural competence in healthcare. Looking ahead, we aspire to see improved personalized care that harmonizes medical expertise with cultural understanding, ultimately reducing disparities and elevating care standards universally.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends screening for unmet social needs, and the literature on inpatient screening implementation is growing. Our aim was to use quality improvement methods to implement standardized social needs screening in hospitalized pediatric patients.

METHODS

We implemented inpatient social needs screening using the Model for Improvement. An interprofessional team trialed interventions in a cyclical manner using plan-do-study-act cycles. Interventions included a structured screening questionnaire, standardized screening and referrals workflows, electronic health record (EHR) modifications, and house staff education, deliberate practice, and feedback. The primary outcome measure was the percentage of discharged patients screened for social needs. Screening for social needs was defined as a completed EHR screening questionnaire or a full social work evaluation. Process and balancing measures were collected to capture data on screening questionnaire completion and social work consultations. Data were plotted on statistical process control charts and analyzed for special cause variation.

RESULTS

The mean monthly percentage of patients screened for social needs improved from 20% at baseline to 51% during the intervention period. Special cause variation was observed for the percentage of patients with completed social needs screening, EHR-documented screening questionnaires, and social work consults.

CONCLUSIONS

Social needs screening during pediatric hospitalization can be implemented by using quality improvement methods. The next steps should be focused on sustainability and the spread of screening. Interventions with greater involvement of interdisciplinary health care team members will foster process sustainability and allow for the spread of screening interventions to the wider hospitalized pediatric population.

OBJECTIVES

Establish the longitudinal cross-lagged associations between maltreatment exposure and child behavior problems to promote screening and the type and timing of interventions needed.

METHODS

The Longitudinal Studies of Child Abuse and Neglect, a multiwave prospective cohort study of maltreatment exposure, enrolled children and caregivers (N = 1354) at approximately age 4 and followed them throughout childhood and adolescence. Families completed 7 waves of data collection with each wave occurring 2 years apart. Maltreatment was confirmed using official case records obtained from Child Protective Services. Six-month frequencies of behavior problems were assessed via caregiver-report. Two random-intercept, cross-lagged panel models tested the directional relations between maltreatment exposure and externalizing and internalizing behaviors.

RESULTS

Maltreatment exposure predicted increases in externalizing behaviors at ages 8 (b = 1.06; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.14–1.98), 12 (b = 1.09; 95% CI 0.08–2.09), and 16 (b = 1.67; 95% CI 0.30–3.05) as well as internalizing behaviors at ages 6 (b = 0.66; 95% CI 0.03–1.29), 12 (b = 1.25; 95% CI 0.33–2.17), and 14 (b = 1.92; 95% CI 0.76–2.91). Increases in externalizing behaviors predicted maltreatment exposure at age 12 (odds ratio 1.02; 95% CI 1.00–1.05).

CONCLUSIONS

Maltreatment exposure is robustly associated with subsequent child behavior problems, strengthening inferences about the directionality of these relations. Early screening of externalizing behaviors in pediatric settings can identify children likely to benefit from intervention to reduce such behaviors as well as prevent maltreatment exposure at entry to adolescence.
Harm-to-self from gambling: A national study of Australian adults
Authors: Tulloch Catherine , Hing Nerilee , Browne Matthew , Russell Alex M. T. , Rockloff Matthew , Rawat Vijay
Published: May 2024

Aims

Understanding how gambling harm is distributed is essential to inform effective harm reduction measures. This first national Australian study of gambling harm-to-self examined the extent, distribution, risk factors, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) impacts of this harm.

Methods

A Random Digit Dialling sample of 15,000 Australian adults was weighted to key population variables. Key measures included the Gambling Harms Scale-10 (GHS-10), PGSI, SF-6D, gambling behaviours, and demographics. Analyses included ordinal logistic regression.

Results

Amongst gamblers, 14.7% reported harm on the GHS-10, including 1.9% reporting high-level harm. While high-level harm occurred mainly in the problem gambling group (77.3%), other PGSI groups accounted for most of the more prevalent low (98.5%) and moderate (87.2%) harms reported. Proximal predictors of greater harm were use of online gambling and more frequent gambling on electronic gaming machines (EGMs), race betting sports betting, poker, skin gambling, scratchies, and loot box purchasing. Distal predictors were being younger, male, single, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander, and speaking a non-English language at home. At the population level, the greatest aggregate HRQoL impacts were amongst lower-risk gamblers, confirming the results of other studies regarding the ‘prevention paradox’.

Conclusions

The distribution of harm across gambler risk groups indicates the need for preventive measures, not just interventions for problem gambling. Reducing harm requires modifying product features that amplify their risk, especially for EGMs, race betting and sports betting that are both inherently risky and widely used. Gambling harm exacerbates health disparities for disadvantaged and vulnerable groups, requiring targeted resources and support.
Cultural cures for the disconnected mind
Authors: Gorelik Gregory
Published: May 2024

The current article advances the hypothesis that creative culture evolved, in part, to allay the costs of the overgrown human brain and the cognitive integration limit that it imposes. Specific features can be expected among cultural elements best suited to allaying the integration limit and also among the neurocognitive mechanisms that might undergird these cultural effects. Music, visual art, and meditation are used as examples to illustrate how culture helps to bridge or sidestep the integration limit. Tiered religious, philosophical, and psychological concepts are considered in light of their reflection of the tiered process of cognitive integration. The link between creativity and mental illness is offered as additional support for the role of cognitive disconnection as a wellspring of cultural creativity, and I propose that this link can be harnessed in defense of neurodiversity. Developmental and evolutionary implications of the integration limit are discussed.

Authors: Sopian Annisa Mufidah , Ilyas Ridwan , Kasyidi Fatan , Hadiana Asep Id
Published: May 2024

Twitter is a popular social media in Indonesia, and sentiment analysis on Twitter has an important role in measuring public trust, especially in taxation issues. Aspect extraction is an important task in sentiment analysis. In this research, we propose SAER, a Syntactic Aspect-opinion Extraction and Rule prediction, that used language rule-based approach using syntactic features for aspect and opinion extraction, and we compare several algorithm for rule prediction such as Random Forest Regression, Decision Tree Regression, K-Nearest Neighbor Regression (KNN), Linear Regression, Support Vector Regression (SVR), and Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression (XGBoost) that can generate rules with a tree-based approach. By employing syntactic features and rule prediction, it has been able to explore important features in a sentence. In rule prediction, comparison results show that Support Vector Regression (SVR) was identified as the most effective model for aspects rule prediction, providing the best results with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.022, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) of 0.150, and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.123. While XGBoost was identified as the most effective model for opinions rule prediction, with MSE of 0.013, RMSE of 0.117, and MAE of 0.075. Since we used syntactic feature-based approaches and rule prediction in this work, it is expected to be implemented for other cases, with other domain datasets.
Los seminarios mexicanos de Castroville y Montezuma, dos proyectos del catolicismo transnacional en Estados Unidos
Authors: Aguirre-Cristiani María-Gabriela
Published: May 2024

El presente texto aborda la historia de la creación de dos seminarios mexicanos fundados en los Estados Unidos durante la etapa de la revolución mexicana (1910-1940). El objetivo de la investigación es dar a conocer la importancia de estos dos proyectos educativos, sus características y el proceso mismo de su implementación con el objetivo de estudiar la relación entre los miembros del clero mexicano y el estadounidense en un contexto complejo para los católicos en el exilio. El primer seminario, denominado Seminario de San Felipe Neri, se fundó en el poblado de Castroville, Texas, en 1915; tuvo una vida efímera pues cerró sus puertas en 1918. El segundo seminario, Pontificio Seminario Mexicano de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, ubicado en la comunidad de Montezuma, Nuevo México se fundó en 1937 y permaneció abierto hasta 1972. Ambos proyectos contaron con el apoyo de varios miembros del clero católico estadounidense y en especial con la participación del que en su momento fue el obispo de Oklahoma, Francis Clement Kelley, quien jugó un papel muy importante no sólo en la recaudación de fondos sino en construir consensos dentro de la comunidad católica estadounidense para solidarizarse con la causa de la libertad religiosa en México. La investigación utiliza tanto fuentes primarias como secundarias logrando hacer visible las problemáticas del catolicismo mexicano en tierras norteamericanas. Pese a los apoyos extranjeros recibidos, la investigación concluye que ambos proyectos tuvieron un carácter marcadamente nacional.

Native Kidney Renal Cell Carcinoma in Renal Allograft Transplant Patients –Our Experience
Authors: Survase Pavan , Agrawal Shashank , Singh Abhishek , Sabnis Ravindra , Desai Mahesh
Published: May 2024

The immunosuppression administered to renal transplant recipients to safeguard renal function elevates their susceptibility to renal cancer, which is estimated to be 15 times higher than in the general population. The current study aimed to analyze various aspects of native kidney renal cell carcinoma (RCC) in renal transplant recipients. This study involved a retrospective analysis of 11 patients who underwent nephrectomy for RCC in native kidneys among renal transplant recipients at our institution since 1992. Our institutional incidence was 0.4%. Median age at presentation was 57 (49–60) years. The ratio of male: female was 10:1. Most patients were asymptomatic at presentation and native kidney disease before transplantation was undetermined. In our study, the median time interval between diagnosis of RCC and transplant was 9.1 (8.4–11.2) years. All patients underwent native kidney nephrectomy. Clear cell type was more common than papillary type, 3.5 (2.5–4.2). Ten patients were diagnosed with stage I disease and one patient had stage IV disease. Fuhrman nuclear grading revealed low grades in nine patients and three patients had Grade 3. Immunosuppressive therapy modification was done in nine patients. Meticulous follow-up of renal transplant patients is essential for earlier diagnosis and appropriate treatment of native kidney RCC in transplant recipients. Authors recommend every year follow-up in transplant recipients with special emphasis on ultrasound of native kidney.

Authors: Tracz-Krupa Katarzyna , Molek-Winiarska Dorota , Tomé Eduardo
Published: May 2024

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to verify and determine changes in training and development processes regarding the COVID-19 pandemic in Polish companies.
Research Design & Methods: The research was conducted in 100 companies using CAWI and was addressed to human resource (HR) specialists, mainly in large companies from a diverse range of sectors, mainly in manufacturing, public sector, ICT, and transport. The tailored questionnaire consisted of 62 statements addressing the following dimensions: training and development (T&D) policy, organisational expectations, procedures of preparation, implementation and monitoring of T&D, participants, evaluation, and financing and investment in T&D. The theoretical base of the paper is human resource development (HRD) theory.
Findings: The results indicate several changes made by organisations as a result of the pandemic, some of which were only temporary, while others became a permanent feature of T&D policies. Generally, Polish companies managed to adapt to the environmental changes caused by the COVID-19 pandemic to the satisfaction of both employees and employers.
Implications / Recommendations: Results of the research can be used to improve training and development programmes offered by companies to increase employees’ skills, knowledge, and attitudes in the workplace. They could also help to adjust the training to the new situation and conditions in the post-pandemic period. Finally, they can serve institutions responsible for policy provision of HRD at a national level to provide possibilities to apply for funding for T&D activities.
Contribution: No detailed quantitative study has been done so far to analyse if and how training and development activities have changed over the past few years, especially in the Polish business environment.

Published: May 2024

Language learning as a factor in preserving the identity of Ukrainians in Poland. One of the primary factors in fostering national identity is mastery of one’s native language, preservation of national memory, and nurturing of cultural traditions of one’s people. The Republic of Poland is a state that has one of the most significant Ukrainian minorities and has hospitably sheltered a vast mass of Ukrainian immigrants who left the Motherland due to Russian military aggression. The purpose of the article is to investigate the possibilities for preserving the identity of Ukrainians in 17 Poland through teaching children their native language. We have implemented the following tasks to achieve the goal: 1) We have determined the role of the national language in preserving identity. 2) We have clarified the historical and political prerequisites for a large Ukrainian community in Poland. 3) We have outlined the distinct types of educational opportunities for teaching children their native language in the Republic of Poland. 4) We have revealed the trends in the positioning of the Ukrainian language in Polish society. The article draws attention to different types of migration of Ukrainians. It reveals specific differences in intentions to nurture Ukrainian identity, satisfy one’s own national and cultural needs, and avoid assimilation. We have distinguished and characterized three types of educational institutions in the modern education school of the Republic of Poland where children are taught the Ukrainian language: Saturday schools or educational institutions under public organizations; Polish secondary schools, where Ukrainian is studied as a second foreign language; Educational institutions that conduct Ukrainian language training. We have revealed that the primary trend related to the positioning of the Ukrainian language in Polish society is the strengthening of its status in line with the educational policy of the European Union due to the increased interest of Poles in Ukraine, its language and culture.

La ponderación, la idoneidad, la obediencia y la discrecionalidad hacen que los jueces en Colombia vean el derecho al revés
Authors:   Universidad Santiago de Cali, Marín Gil Johnny
Published: May 2024

Tema y alcance: el control de convencionalidad establecido por la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos se debe traducir como la forma en que el Estado hace frente a sus obligaciones en cuanto al respeto y la garantía de los derechos humanos. Es un mecanismo de protección y de hacer efectivos los derechos fundamentales e inherentes al ser humano consagrados en las diferentes fuentes del Derecho Internacional Público, principalmente en los tratados internacionales. Características: Colombia, a pesar de tener una Constitución garante y basada en la dignidad del ser humano, aplica este mecanismo a discrecionalidad, casi a voluntad de los jueces. Hallazgos: un Estado Parte tiene el deber jurídico de adoptar las medidas necesarias para cumplir con sus obligaciones de conformidad con el tratado, ya sean ejecutivas, legislativas, judiciales o de otra naturaleza, para la protección del derecho concernido. Las tres ramas del poder público en Colombia no reconocen y aplican que los presupuestos procesales son los requisitos indispensables para que se integre el proceso y sea factible emitir la sentencia que entre al fondo del asunto, esencialmente por falta de conocimientos sobre estas temáticas. Conclusiones: el Consejo de Estado Colombiano, la Corte Suprema de Justicia y la Corte Constitucional, al momento de emitir sus fallos, no aplican eficazmente el control de convencionalidad de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos.
Proyecto Ambiental Escolar: dispositivo educativo en la configuración de subjetividades ambientales
Authors: Galindo-Quiroga Claudia , Pulgarín-Ramírez Angélica , Ospina-Ramírez David-Arturo
Published: May 2024

La presente investigación documental desarrolla un estudio sobre el programa de Proyectos Ambientales Escolares (PRAE), con enfoque en sus aspectos teóricos y pedagógicos, y en su influencia en la formación de subjetividades ambientales en el contexto escolar. El artículo reivindica la interpretación crítica de la educación ambiental, desde los principios de la ética ecológica y la ecología política. Polemiza los enfoques instrumentales, extractivistas y conservacionistas que a lo largo de la historia han predominado dentro del campo. En términos metodológicos, la investigación adopta el marco del análisis documental, con un interés doble: hermenéutico emancipatorio, y divide su estructura en dos partes complementarias: el desarrollo de una reseña analítica sobre el surgimiento institucional del PRAE, bajo políticas educativas que recoge el Decreto 1743 de 1994 y la Política Nacional de Educación Ambiental de 2004. Ello sirve de preludio a la evaluación crítica de sus cualidades y vacíos en función de su capacidad para agenciar sujetos ecológicos. También se explora el potencial pedagógico de las categorías de subjetividad y experiencia, como posibles catalizadores de una educación ambiental trascendente y significativa por medio del PRAE.

Una visió econòmica del llarg segle XX al Camp de Tarragona i les Terres de l'Ebre
Authors: Margalef Joaquim
Published: May 2024

El procés d'industrialització ha emmarcat el creixement econòmic català iniciat al segle XIX i consolidat al XX. Malgrat aquesta generalització, la dinàmica d'aquest procés no ha estat uniforme a tot el territori, i en moltes parts el creixement econòmic ha transcorregut per camins diferents. És per això que es pot estudiar duna manera precisa una àrea amb una dinàmica econòmica específica per les seves diferències amb la global del país. Actualment, els nivells de renda i de productivitat són territorialment molt similars, però el camí que s'ha seguit per arribar-hi ha tingut una trajectòria molt particular. Ha estat una trajectòria, per altra part, molt estudiada pels historiadors, tant des punts de vista locals, amb monografies sobre diferents viles, com de transversals, sobre moviments socials, culturals, polítics, etc.; però no hi havia una interpretació econòmica que plantegés un esquema de funcionament d'aquesta societat on es donaven una sèrie de contradiccions que es manifestaven de maneres diferents, de la violència al pacte, i que portaven uns canvis econòmics que afectaven la forma de vida de la població. Aquest assaig estudia els canvis econòmics en aquesta àrea en un llarg segle XX que s'inicia a les acaballes del XIX amb la fil·loxera, les transformacions dels anys seixanta com a punt de referència central molt important, i s'acaba amb la perplexitat, ja molt entrat el segle XXI, d'una critica situació social i econòmica.

L'objectiu principal d'aquest llibre és fer conèixer i difondre la recerca que es fa a Catalunya en Enologia i Viticultura i aspectes relacionats que s'han presentat en unes Jornades a Tarragona. En repassar les bases de dades de publicacions científiques dels darrers anys, hem pogut constatar que al país hi ha uns 20 grups d'investigadors que tenen com a línies de recerca principals les relacionades amb les ciències de la vinya i el vi, però a més a més hi ha uns altres 40 grups o investigadors que encara que el seu àmbit principal de recerca no sigui la viticultura o l’enologia, han publicat aquests darrers anys diversos treballs relacionats en diferents aspectes, fins i tot de disciplines científiques aparentment allunyades. Tots ells han estat convidats a la Jornada per presentar els seus treballs més innovadors o les línies de recerca.

Ormanlık alanda gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmanın amacı, hem nesne tabanlı sınıflandırma yönteminin başarısını hem de sınıflandırma öncesi ihtiyaç duyulan referans veri ihtiyacı için arazi çalışmasının yeterli olup olmayacağını araştırmaktır. Nesne tabanlı sınıflandırma yönteminde sınıflandırma öncesi hem segmentasyon parametrelerinin hem de doğruluk analizi için seçilecek eğitim alanlarının seçiminde çoğu zaman hava fotoğrafları, paftalar, meşcere haritaları, arazi verisi gibi referans veriye ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu çalışma da ilk olarak Kastamonu İli Merkez Orman Şefliğine ait 12x12 km’lik çalışma alanı içerisinde belirlenen “İbreli, Yapraklı, Tarım alanı, Açık alan ve Bina” sınıf türlerine ait detay çıkarımı için yüksek çözünürlüklü GeoEye-1 uydu görüntüsü üzerinden eCognition Developer 9.1 yazılımı kullanılarak, nesne tabanlı sınıflandırma yöntemi ile değerlendirme yapılmıştır. Değerlendirme sonrası Diferansiyel Küresel Navigasyon Sistemi yöntemi ile her sınıftan 30 adet olmak üzere toplamda 150 adet nokta ile arazi çalışması yürütülmüş ve sonuçlar nesne tabanlı sınıflandırma sonuçları ile nokta bazında analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre, arazi verisinin sınıflandırılmış uydu görüntüsü ile yeterli miktarda uyumlu ve referans veri olarak kullanılabilir olduğu sonucu elde edilmiştir.
Atık bitkisel yağlarla muamele edilmiş İroko (Milicia excelsa Welw. C.C. Berg) odununda beyazlık indeksi, renk ve parlaklık değerlerinin belirlenmesi
Authors: Çamlıbel Osman , Ayata Ümit
Published: May 2024

Günümüzde ahşap malzemenin sahip olduğu rengi değiştirmenin birçok farklı metotları (ısıl işlem, emprenye, ağartma, vb.) bulunmaktadır. Bu işlemler esnasında çevre dostu ürünlerin kullanılması gerek insan sağlığı gerekse ahşap endüstrileri için önem teşkil etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, atık bitkisel yağların (zeytinyağı, mısır yağı ve ceviz yağı) İroko (Milicia excelsa Welw. C.C. Berg) odunun yüzeylerine bir fırça ile uygulanması sonrasında meydana gelen bazı yüzey özellikleri araştırılmıştır. Uygulama öncesi ve sonrasında ahşap yüzeylerde beyazlık indeksi (WI*) [liflere dik (⊥) ve paralel (║)] değerleri, renk parametreleri (∆L*, ∆a*, ∆b*, ∆C*, ∆H*, ∆E*, a*, C*, L*, b* ve ho) ve parlaklık değerleri [20o, 60o ve 85o’lerde liflere dik (⊥) ve paralel (║)] belirlenmiştir. Bütün atık bitkisel yağ türleri uygulanmış deney örneklerinde a* ve C* değerleri artış gösterirken, L*, b* ve ho değerlerinde azalışlar elde edilmiştir. En düşük ∆E* değeri atık mısır yağında (23.70) bulunurken, en yüksek değer atık zeytinyağında (24.48) tespit edilmiştir. Her iki yöne ait olan WI* değerlerinde atık yağların uygulandığı örneklere ait sonuçlar kontrol örneklerininkine nazaran daha düşük olarak tespit edilmiştir. Uygulanan atık yağlar ile WI* değerlerinde azalış belirlenmiştir. Bütün atık yağ türlerinde liflere dik ve paralel yönlerde parlaklık değerleri 20o ve 60o’lerde azalırken, 85o’de artmıştır. Kullanılan tüm atık yağların iroko odunu yüzeylerinde yüzey özelliklerini değiştirici etkide bulunduğu görülmüştür.

This research was carried out to determine the Sorbus L. species distributed within the borders of Rize province between 2011-2013 and to reveal the differences (morphological, anatomical, and ecological) between them. It was determined that four taxa belong to the genus Sorbus L. in the research area, which is located in the A8 square according to the grid system. Identified taxa, Sorbus aucuparia L., Sorbus subfusca (Ledeb) Boiss, Sorbus caucasica (Zinserl) var. Yaltırikii, Gökşin and Sorbus umbellata. var. cretica (Lindl) Schneidear. The morphological, anatomical, and ecological characteristics of these taxa, which are naturally distributed in the flora of the research area, were comparatively examined. Localities of Sorbus L. taxa distributed in the region, habitat characteristics, and species identification keys were identified. The localities of the taxa that naturally spread in the region were determined, and their maps were processed according to the GPS coordinate data.
