Published: December 2023

Received : January 2001 A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabr) season of 1996 97 to 1998 99 to find out the contribution of different production factors on grain yield of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) and preferential order of input supply under resource constraint conditions. Complete package of practices resulted in significantly higher mean grain yield (3, 021 kglha) and net returns (Rs 7,797lha) compared with the grain yield (1,497 kglha) and net returns (Rs 1,670lha) obtained under farmer s practice. Inclusion of recommended fertilizers, weed management and variety separately in farmers practice resulted in significantly higher mean grain yield (41.9, 36.3 and 24.2%) and.net returns (Rs 5,522, 2,835 and 2,732lha respectively) than farmers s practice. However, inclusion of line sowing in farmers practice showed net loss of Rs 339 /ha compared to farmers practice. Grain yield decreased significantly when either of the production factors was withdrawn from complete package of practices and the maximum reduction in mean grain yield was recorded due to fertilizers (42.2%), followed by weed management (34.9%), variety (30.8%), timely sowing (1 7.4%), line sowing (9.1 %) and plant protection measures (8.2%). Net returns also reduced significantly when either improved variety or recommended fertilizers or weed management or timely sowing was withdrawn from complete package of practices. However, exclusion of line sowing or plant protection measures frdm complete package of plactices did not bring significant reduction in net returns compared to complete package of practices.

Starch is extensively utilized in food processing for various purposes. However, the use of native starch is limited due to its unsuitability with processing conditions or products characteristics. Physical modification of starch is commonly employed to enhance the properties of native starch. The physical starch modification using microwave heating is presently developed due to its more efficient energy consumption than that of traditional heating methods. The process of microwave heating followed by cooling has been found to induce the formation of type 3 resistant starch (RS3). However, the effects of microwaving heating towards the the increase of resistant starch contents varies among researchers. For this reason, a meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effect of microwave heating on the levels of resistant starch in carbohydrate sources such as cereals, pulses, and tubers. The objective of this study was to analyze the carbohydrate food groups that demonstrated the most significant increase in resistant starch levels due to microwave heating, and to determine the optimal microwave treatment parameters within these food groups using meta-analysis. The findings indicate that microwave heating treatment is particularly effective for cereals, with rice being the most responsive. The most favorable treatment parameters include a power range of 401-600 W, heating time of 60-99 s, and starch moisture content of 40-60%.

Leadership has an important role in utilizing existing resources to realize organizational goals. That the existence of law enforcement cannot be separated from the regulatory function of a government leadership mechanism, so that the study of the form of government leadership from a legalistic and humanistic perspective is always interesting to discuss. The substance of leadership is making decisions, and making these decisions is of course through fair and humane communication between parties. This condition will only arise when the legal system and social order are enforced. In line with this, humanistic government becomes a relevant and urgent concern when dealing with government functions. Humanistic government focuses on, apart from the legalistic dimension, also the dimension of democratization and the wisdom and culture of society that lives and is practiced in people's lives according to the values of Pancasila and not on a rigid and formal approach to power based on authority.

Authors: AKSU Emrah Hicazi
Published: December 2023

Artificial insemination is the most widely used biotechnological application for animal breeding in cattle breeding. It is crucial to properly store the sperm obtained from the breeding bulls while maintaining their spermatological characteristic using suitable methods. During both long or short-term storage of spermatozoa, an ideal storage medium must be employed. For this purpose, diluents have been developed to meet the needs of spermatozoa. An ideal semen diluent contains ingredients that spermatozoa need, such as energy substances, protective agents against cold shock, buffering solutions that protect against pH changes, cryoprotectants to reduce damage to spermatozoa during freezing and antibiotics against microbial contamination. Semen dilution also allows for increasing the available semen volume to obtain more straws. Maintaining spermatological parameters at the best possible level during semen storage has important economic implications in this industry. For this reason, scientists continue to develop new diluents to achieve the optimum benefits from semen diluents. This review is aims to provide information about semen diluents used in bulls.

They were selected by purposeful sampling and snowball method. The findings were analysed using content analysis and a three-step coding approach. The data in the second part included financial and statistical data and information from the budget and credit office and the university's planning vice-chancellor, which were used to analyse the cost in the system. Based on the analysis of experts' opinions, the design requirements of the financial decision support system in the university are: Content, human, managerial, educational, cultural, infrastructural, technical and operational, software, hardware, legal, economic, security, environmental and cross-sectoral requirements, and acceptance of changes. The results of the experimental implementation have also shown that the financial decision support system improves the efficiency, effectiveness and quality of financial decisions and optimizes the process by accurately estimating costs, reducing time and cost, removing mental limitations, effective use of limited resources, etc. Therefore, the use of ICT and its capabilities to remove biases and cognitive errors and mental limitations of decision makers, introducing the path to improve the intelligentization of financial resource allocation decisions in the university, helping to promote knowledge-based allocation of financial resources, etc. were among the most important results of the present research.

Authors: Rahimian Ashraf
Published: December 2023

The present article seeks to identify the characteristics of the digital university using grounded theory. Snowball sampling was performed and 19 experts in the field of university and digital transformation were interviewed. The result of the interviews was a collection of basic topics that were collected during the open coding process and categories were extracted from them. Then, in the central coding stage, the link between the categories under the following headings: causal conditions, contextual factors, intervening conditions, phenomenon-oriented, strategies and consequences of digital university was determined. Then the cases were written in the selective coding stage. The causal conditions affecting the digital university were divided into two categories. Factors within the university: the need to rethink the mission of the university, the need to change teaching and research approaches, the cost and bureaucracy of education and the need to use new educational opportunities and factors outside the university: demographic challenges, the need to identify and meet scientific needs and job for society. Such are the policy and management strategies of research. In policy strategies, policy of education, hard and soft technologies, digital culture, finance and management and data preservation and educational equality are suggested, and in management strategies (executive), assessing the level of digital maturity of the university, providing infrastructure in humanities, leadership, economics and technology, and review of the education system process and definition of new processes are suggested.

Published: December 2023

The identity of the University of Berlin as the first modern university in Prussia, owes above all to its attention to research and philosophical insight in the management of the knowledge system and its guardian institution. With the establishment of the University of Berlin in 1810, research, along with teaching and moral education, was determined as one of the three main tasks of the big professors of the faculties. In this structure, in addition to faculties as the first pillar of the university, which is in charge of educational activities, the Academy is also a place of excellent research as the second pillar. The Faculty of Philosophy, as the third pillar, should first obtain a reasonable picture of the order of disciplines and sciences in the overall structure of the knowledge system through the general management of the university with the aim of regulating the relationship between the faculties with each other and with the academy, and then reflecting on the research findings of the faculties and the academy and so realize the idea of "unity of science" and "absolute knowledge" step by step. This article tries to explain the building elements of the University of Berlin in the beginning of the 19th century with the focus on Research and the Faculty of Philosophy under the two ideas of "unity" and "progress".
ASSOCIATION OF DRY EYES ON SMOKING HABITS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Lianda Felia
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Dry eye disease (DED), dry eye syndrome, and keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) are typical reasons for eye doctor visits.  Smoking's effect on DED is yet unknown, and there is conflicting evidence. Several factors contributed to this outcome, including the studies' limited sample sizes, the imbalance of components between cases and controls, and the ambiguous smoking status classification. This article shows a link between smoking and dry eye condition.
The aim: This piece of writing provides evidence that demonstrates a connection between smoking and dry eye diseases.
Methods: For this systematic review, publications that were published from 2013 to 2023 were taken into account during the search process. This was achieved through the utilization of numerous online reference sources, such as Pubmed and SagePub. The decision was made to exclude review articles, previously published works, and incomplete works.
Result: We found 92 articles from PubMed and 107 articles from SagePub, for which title and abstract analysis was carried out. We found 23 relevant articles. We found 11 studies demonstrates a connection between smoking and dry eye diseases.
Conclusion: Smoking may not cause DED. The risk of smoking and DED is still debated due to inconsistent findings.
OECD ÜLKELERİNDE KRONİK OBSTRÜKTİF AKCİĞER HASTALIĞI’NA (KOAH) BAĞLI ÖLÜMLERLE İLİŞKİLİ FAKTÖRLERİN BELİRLENMESİ

Bu çalışmanın amacı Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ülkelerinde Kronik Obstrüktif Akciğer Hastalığı’na (KOAH) bağlı ölümleri etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesidir. OECD ve Dünya Bankası veri tabanları yoluyla veri toplama işlemi yapılmıştır. Veriler 2010-2016 yıllarını kapsamaktadır. Araştırma kapsamında sigara içme, alkol kullanımı, kent nüfusu, gelir, CO kaynaklı hava kirliliği ve SO2 kaynaklı hava kirliği bağımsız değişken, KOAH’a bağlı ölümler ise bağımlı değişken olarak seçilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında ulaşılan veriler çok değişkenli bir analiz türü olan En Küçük Kareler (EKK) regresyon analizine tabi tutulmuştur. Analiz için EViews pro19 ve SPSS programları kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca, Hausman testi yapılarak değişkenlerin sabit etki (fixed effect) ya da rastgele etki (random effect) modeline göre analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir.SO2 kaynaklı hava kirliliği, sigara içme, alkollü içecek tüketimi ve obezite arttıkça KOAH’a bağlı ölümler de artış göstermektedir. Gelir, karbon monoksit kaynaklı hava kirliliği ve nüfusun KOAH’a bağlı ölümlerde etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür. KOAH kronik bir hastalık olması sebebiyle hastalığın semptomlarını azaltılması yaşam tarzının değişmesiyle mümkün olabilecektir. Sağlık politika yapıcıları ve hükümetler toplumun bu risk faktörlerine maruziyetini azaltmak için kampanyaları ve politikaları koordine etmelidir.

Authors: ASLAN Yasemin
Published: December 2023

Hastaneler sağlık hizmetlerine ihtiyaç duyan hastaların tedavi edildiği, karmaşık yapıya sahip yüksek riskli kurumlardır. İşyeri tehlike sınıfları listesinde çok tehlikeli kategoride değerlendirilen hastaneler hastalar, hasta yakınları ve çalışanlar açısından bazı tehlike ve riskler barındırmaktadır. Bu tehlike ve risklerin kanıt temelli metodolojilerle tespit edilmesi ve önceliklendirilmesi, hasta ve çalışan güvenliği açısından ihtiyaç duyulan iyileştirme aksiyonlarının planlanması açısından önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, bir üniversite hastanesi tesis yönetimi süreçleri risk analizinin Fine-Kinney metodu ile değerlendirilmesidir. Fine-Kinney metodu tehlike ve risklerin kaynağından yok edilmesi ya da zararlarının azaltılmasını hedef alan, sağlık sektöründe sınırlı kullanım alanına sahip risk değerlendirme metodolojilerinden biridir. Tanımlayıcı nitelikte, kesitsel tipte tasarlanan çalışmanın evrenini İstanbul’da yer alan bir üniversite hastanesinde 01.02.2023-28.02.2023 tarihleri arasında tesis güvenliği risk değerlendirme süreçleri kapsamında tespit edilen tehlike ve riskler oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş ve evrenin tamamı değerlendirmeye alınmıştır. Risk değerlendirme yöntemi olarak Fine-Kinney metodu kullanılmıştır. Risk ve tehlikelerin belirlenmesinde uzman görüşlerinden, hastanenin geçmiş dönem olay kayıtlarından ve doküman incelemesinden faydalanılmıştır. Çalışmada risklerin %58,4’ünün olası risk, %22,2’sinin düşük risk ve %18,9’unun önemli risk kategorisinde yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Risklerin %21’inin tehlikeli madde ve atıklar, %19,8’inin güvenlik, %17,7’sinin tıbbi cihazlar, %14,4’ünün acil durum ve afet yönetimi ve %12,8’inin yangın güvenliği ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Altyapı sistemleri kapsamındaki risklerin %42,9’u ile yangın güvenliği kapsamındaki risklerin %38,7’sinin önemli risk seviyesinde olduğu ve bu risklerle ilgili düzeltici-önleyici faaliyetlere ihtiyaç olduğu bulunmuştur. Hastanenin elektrik tesisatının daha güvenli hale getirilmesi, yangın güvenliğine yönelik önlemlerin alınması, altyapı kaynaklı uygunsuzlukların iyileştirilmesi, asansörlerin periyodik muayene ve kontrollerinin yapılması risklerin kabul edilebilir seviyeye düşürülmesi açısından önemlidir.
