Authors: Kumar Kumawat Mukesh , Kumar Sharma Manoj , Yadav Narender , Singh Bhupendra
Published: January 2023

Abstract: Malaria is a potentially fatal parasitic disease brought on by five Plasmodium species, including Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale, Plasmodium malariae, and Plasmodium knowlesi. The fast emergence of P. falciparum resistance to currently available treatments has increased health concerns in developing countries. The growth in resistance emphasizes the need for a novel, secure, and cost-effective antimalarial drug that can treat malaria resistant to multiple antimalarial drugs. Therefore, it has become crucial to create new therapeutic approaches to deal with the rise of parasites resistant to artemisinin. For the treatment of P. falciparum malaria in children living in areas with moderate to high transmission, as established by WHO, the malaria vaccine RTS, S has been authorized. The WHO recommends that governments consider this immunization against a human parasite when deciding the optimum subnational combination of measures for maximum impact. The current research synthesizes numerous 4-aminoquinoline derivatives successfully treating malaria and its diverse etiological species. Additionally crucial to the management and prevention of malaria are antibiotics. Effective and well-tolerated antimalarial medications include tetracycline and chloramphenicol, chloroquine, primaquine, pamaquine, and artemisinins are some of the drugs used to treat malaria; however, numerous new compounds have proven to be even more efficient. This review, based on literature reports, will give medicinal chemists ideas for new malaria drugs to develop. In addition, this review will help search for new antimalarial drug leads in the future.

Abstract: Obesity is a significant public health issue, particularly in developed countries such as the United States, where more than 36% of adults are obese. Understanding how obesity affects breast cancer is essential for public health because it is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among women in developed countries. Numerous studies show a significantly more vital link between increased body mass index (BMI) and breast cancer incidence. Furthermore, obese women with breast cancer have a higher risk of all-cause and breast cancer-specific mortality than non-obese women. A better understanding of the relationship between obesity and breast cancer is critical because this patient population has unique diagnostic and treatment challenges. The study aims to summarize current evidence regarding the association between obesity and breast cancer as a risk factor and its effect on patients' prognosis. For article selection, the PubMed database and EBSCO Information Services were used. All relevant articles relevant to our topic and other articles were used in our review. Other articles that were not related to this field were excluded. The data was extracted in a specific format that the group members reviewed. Our study included nine studies, all of which indicated a positive correlation with different types of breast cancer as a risk factor. One study reported no effect on prognosis.

Published: January 2023

Weather extremes in parts of Europe have led to a renewed search for alternative feeds for ruminants. Cereal straw presents one source of fibre, which is hard to digest due to its lignin-carbohydrate complexes. Chemical and biological treatments have been investigated to improve digestibility. Here, the applicability of alkaline treatments for farming conditions under EU legislation and their efficacy were checked. Thus, we tested caustic soda (60, 120 g kg-1straw) and urea (15, 30, 45, 60 g kg-1 straw without and with urease addition) applications both at laboratory scale and using a mixer-wagon. The nutritive value was evaluated analyzing chemical parameters including fibre components and estimating in vitro digestibility. The in vitro digestibility indicated by gas production, enzymatically soluble substrate and neutral detergent fibre digestibility (30h) was highest for the NaOH treatments, which did not differ by dose. Remoistening the straw to 600 g DM kg-1 was a precondition for the effectiveness of both treatments. Urease addition enhanced the intended ammonification when urea was applied at ≥ 30 g kg-1. An ambient temperature for urea treatment ≥ 25 °C was necessary and had to be maintained for at least 14 d post treatment. The determination of crude ash in NaOH treated feeds by the standard procedure and time overestimated the mineral fraction and had to be modified. This systematic approach provides guidance for feasible straw treatments for EU farmers. However, trials for feed acceptance and in vivo digestibility are needed to demonstrate the real effect in animals.
A new database on Green GDP; 1970-2019: a framework for assessing the green economy
Authors: Stjepanovic Sasa , Tomic Daniel , Skare Marinko
Published: January 2023

Research background: Numerous modern indicators are attempting to integrate better economic, political, social, and environmental ambitions to uncover potential synergy, trade-offs, and future views that center around the notion of a so-called green economy. As long as the various indicators are not bounded in one comprehensive measurement, utilizing knowledge of relevant information and statistics that are crucial for monitoring the progress will not give us answers on the progress towards green growth either. Without an adequate measurement framework and robust statistics, the evaluation of the green economy is open to subjective reasoning.
Purpose of the article: This paper aims to offer a strong standpoint for green topics by exploring the concept of Green GDP. The paper introduces a new, updated database on Green GDP for the set of 160 countries from 1970?2019.
Methods: This database is distinctive due to its balanced coverage of two components of the green economy: quantitative feature (standard methodological algorithm) and qualitative feature (opportunity costs) within a common Green GDP accounting framework.   
Findings & value added: Standardizing new methodologies and procedures for estimating environmental costs with a statistical foundation provides added value, which we hope will support the creation of reliable accounting and valuation systems for the green economy on a developing "green platform."

Authors: Sunarto Toto , Angelia Brigitta
Published: January 2023

Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) is one of the pathogens that attack tomato plants so that it can reduce tomato production. One alternative to control Meloidogyne spp. environmentally friendly is to use botanical nematicides. Salam Koja (Murraya koenigii (L.) Spreng) has potential as a botanical nematicide because its leaves contain secondary metabolites which are antihelmintic. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of water extract of M. koenigii leaves and to obtain the best concentration in suppressing the attack of Meloidogyne spp. on tomato plants. This research was conducted at the Greenhouse, Department of Plant Pests and Diseases, Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Padjadjaran, Jatinangor. The study used an experimental method with a randomized block design consisting of 6 treatments and 4 replications. The treatments included control (without water extract of M. koenigii leaves), concentrations of water extract of M. koenigii leaves 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%, and carbofuran 2 g/plant. The results showed that the water extract of M. koenigii leaves had an effect on suppressing root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) on tomato plants. The water extract of M. koenigii leaves at the highest concentration of 15% is effective in suppression of the number of galls in the roots (38.57%) and suppression of the number of juvenile 2 (J2) Meloidogyne spp. in 100 ml of soil (81.03%). Murraya koenogii leaf water extract can be used to control Meloidogyne spp. in tomato plants.

Published: January 2023

The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of pre-service teachers' readiness for online learning on their social anxiety in e-learning environments. For this purpose, opinions of 409 students who continue their pedagogical formation education at a university in Turkey were taken, the answers of 369 students were included in the research, and the data of 341 students with standardized scores were analyzed. In the study, readiness for online learning was considered as the independent variable and social anxiety of the pre-service teachers in e-learning environments as the dependent variable, and the data of the dependent and independent variables were obtained from the Online Learning Readiness Scale and the Social Anxiety Scale for E-Learning Environments. In the findings section, correlation analysis was made between the online learning readiness and social anxiety variables in e-learning environments, and then simple linear regression modeling was applied to determine how much the online learning readiness variable had on social anxiety in e-learning environments. As a result of the correlation analysis, a moderate negative significant relationship was found between readiness for online learning and social anxiety in e-learning environments. In addition, with the regression analysis, it was revealed that as the readiness for online learning increased, social anxiety decreased in e-learning environments. As a result, various suggestions were made to other researchers in line with these findings.

Authors: Cieślak Sławomir , Krzymień Wiesław
Published: January 2023

A helicopter landing and taking off on an elevated helipad is a source of noise that affects the environment and causes vibrations of the landing pad or the building infrastructure. Vibrations are also excited by the air stream flowing through the main rotor and transferred to the landing pad by contact of the helicopter chassis. Vibrations are transferred to the building through the structure of the helipad. Depending on the damping properties of the structure and the vibro-isolating elements used, vibrations can be felt in rooms used by people and also transmitted to devices located in the building. The subject of the study described in this paper is the vibroacoustic effects of an EC-135 helicopter on an elevated landing pad during landing, standstill with the propulsion system engaged and take-off. Measurements of vibrations and noise were made at points located both on the landing pad and in the building. The paper presents selected results of measurements in various phases of flight and helicopter manoeuvres. The frequency analyses of the fragment of the measurement data for the flight phase, in which the highest levels of impact were recorded, were also performed and included. The results are presented as graphs and annotated.

Las explotaciones mineras asociadas con la extracción de carbón y esmeraldas en el departamento de Boyacá, Colombia, contribuyen en la generación de drenajes ácidos de mina (DAM), los cuales afectan los ecosistemas cercanos a la actividad minera. La aplicación de sistemas básicos como los drenajes anóxicos calizos (DAC) permiten contrarrestar la acidez presente en los DAM elevando el pH. Sin embargo, no pueden eliminar de manera significativa compuestos como los sulfatos y el hierro ferroso, contenidos en este tipo de residuos. Debido a lo anterior, el presente trabajo estudia el comportamiento de un drenaje ácido sintético (DAS) anóxico, tratado a través de un sistema de DAC, utilizando la roca caliza de la zona como futura posibilidad de aplicación para el tratamiento de residuos a nivel industrial. Las muestras sintéticas se analizaron con tiempos de retención hidráulica de 8, 16 y 24 h en condiciones anóxicas. Los resultados muestran una regulación del pH después de las 8 h de tratamiento. La alcalinidad de las muestras preparadas de Fe+2 de 10 y 100 mg·l-1 alcanzan su pico máximo en este mismo periodo de tiempo, reduciendo la concentración de Fe+2 presente en las muestras de DAS en un 88 %, con un tiempo de retención de 24 h. El estudio demuestra que la aplicación de DAC para el tratamiento de este tipo de aguas disminuye de forma significativa la concentración de Fe+2, el cual puede estar asociado con la formación de carbonatos.

Published: January 2023

Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) is the most common tendon injury in the lower limb, and its incidence has been on the rise since the 1980s. Individuals with Achilles tendon rupture often present with pain, snapping, and audible popping at the site of injury. The mechanism of rupture is described as a suddenly forced plantar flexion of the foot. Moreover, direct trauma, existing tendinopathy, and conditions that cause degeneration are all frequent contributors to the etiology. In addition, basketball, diving, and tennis are all sports that place players at a higher potential risk for Achilles rupture. It is debatable whether the operative management of Achilles ruptures is superior to non-operative management. However, each of the approaches has its own advantages and possible disadvantages.

Authors: Arefin Md. Riyadh , Hossain Md. Ismail
Published: January 2023

Tea is one of the most important non-alcoholic beverage in the world and has been gaining further popularity as an important ‘health drink’ in view of its inferable medicinal value. In Bangladesh, commercially tea was cultivated since 1854 by establishing first tea garden Malnicherra Tea Estate in Sylhet. From 1947 to 2020, tea growing area, production and per hectare yield were increased 127.71%, 370.53% and 137.96% respectively. The major reasons behind the increasing tea productivity are extension of tea growing areas as well as cultivation of the tea clones (BT clones) released by Bangladesh Tea Research Institute (BTRI). Till now BTRI released 23 clones and 5 biclones, having average per hectare yield of 3461.67 kg. In the world, tea production, consumption and exportation have increased significantly. Unlike world condition, there is a negative relation between tea production and export in Bangladesh. From 1980 to 2020 the quantity of tea exports was decreased by 92.99%. This situation emphasizes the need for exploring alternative means by the tea industries of increasing profits from tea cultivation and tea export. As a result, researches on tea varietal improvement is needed for rapid economic growth and development of tea industry as well as to encourage tea plantation business to go ahead with more production to meet our own demand along with quality tea to flourish tea business in Bangladesh.

Verticillium wilt disease in cotton is a soil-borne disease that causes significant yield losses, and it is therefore important to identify disease-resistant genotypes. Current study was carried out in the experimental field of the Faculty of Agriculture, Dicle University (Diyarbakir) in the year 2020 to determine the tolerance levels of some cotton genotypes which contain different characteristics to wilt disease (Verticillium dahliae Kleb.). The experiment area has been naturally infected with Verticillium wilt pathogens. A total of 124 cotton genotypes, including four controls (DP-499, Edessa, ST-468, ES-1), were arranged in five blocks according to the Augmented Design. The indices of stem cross-section and the leaf-disease severity were found significant. The leaf-disease severity varied between 0.12-3.09 at 50-60 % at boll opening period, whilst stem cross-section values ranged between 0.36-2.30. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between the indices. In conclusion, G7, G12, G21, G22, G23, G41, G51, G55, and G101 were determined as tolerant genotypes to Verticillium wilt in terms of examining two parameters.

As a result, it was determined that the applied CuO concentrations caused some physiological changes in C. demersum tissues.
Gas exchange parameters of 8-year-old Abies fraseri (Pursh) Poir. seedlings under different irrigation regimes
Authors: Koç İsmail , Nzokou Pascal
Published: January 2023

Eight-year-old Abies fraseri seedlings were grown under different irrigation regimes to determine how drought stress might affect the seedlings in terms of gas exchange parameters. In this study, net photosynthesis (Anet), transpiration rate (E), stomatal conductance (gs), intercellular CO2 (Ci), Ci to ambient CO2 (Ca) concentration ratio (Ci/Ca), intrinsic water use efficiency (iWUE), and water use efficiency (WUE) were measured on August 11 and 27. Irrigation and measurement time were statistically significant on all gas exchange parameters except WUE for irrigation and measurement time and Anet for measurement time. E and gs were significant under the irrigation and measurement time interactions. In this study, increasing irrigation generally decreased Anet, and gs, while increased E, iWUE, and Ci/Ca. On August 27, A. fraseri had higher Anet, gs, E, Ci, Ci/Ca, and lower iWUE values than August 11. However, there was a robust positive correlation between gs and Anet, while a negative correlation between gs and iWUE in A. fraseri seedlings. In general, prolonged water deficiency leads plants to decrease Anet, gs, and E while iWUE increases, contrary to the current study. A well-developed and deeper root system, especially in plants under less or no-irrigation regimes, may alleviate drought stress effects in the long run and provide an advantage in leaf gas exchange parameters. In addition, the fact that soil moisture did not differ much between treatments, although irrigation levels were different, may explain the similar behavior among individuals measured in terms of gas exchange parameters.

Authors: Alkaç Onur Sefa , Güneş Mehmet
Published: January 2023

Compost is usually made of biodegradable wastes. Today, compost, bio-agent bacteria and mycorrhizae are used as the key components of sustainable agriculture. This study was conducted to determine the effects of compost treatments alone and combined with bacteria, mycorrhiza and commercial fertilizers on growth, flower and bulb quality parameters of the ‘Jan van Nes’ tulip cultivar. Compost was made of grape pomace and set at different EC levels. Three different compost ratios (0%, 20% and 40%), three different EC levels (0.75, 1.10, and 1.45 dS/m) and combinations with or without bacteria and mycorrhizae were experimented. Flower stalk length, perianth length and vase life were identified as the most striking parameters for growth and flowering of tulip plants. The best outcomes in terms of flower stem length (34.20 cm), perianth length (44.85 mm) and vase life (7.00 days) were obtained from 0% compost treatments. Increasing compost ratios had adverse effects on plant growth and bacteria and mycorrhizae treatments alone did not provide any significant effects. However, combining with different compost ratios increased the effectiveness of bacteria and mycorrhiza. EC of 0.75 yielded better results than the other EC levels.

Published: January 2023

The study assesses the two approaches of feminization: labor and managerial, and explores the implication of feminization in agricultural production in Gorkha and Chitwan district of Nepal. We examine the degree to which men, women or men and women jointly make agriculture-related decisions, and discuss the labor feminization and managerial feminization using five domains of the Women Empowerment in Agriculture Index (WEAI), relative to the degree to which women’s decision-making power relates to the feminization of agriculture leading to women empowerment and food security. The results revealed that the average workload for women (86.50 hours/week) was more than that for men (55.52 hours/week). Workload was found significantly affected by the total cultivated area (ha), gender of household head, occupation, number of livestock holdings, number of children, number of elders and household location.All aspects of operational and strategic decision making were dominated by jointly made decisions, except in the case of income utilization where female showed dominance. The implication of feminization in agriculture is reflected by reduction in cropping cycle, lower productivity of cereals and vegetables which led to food insecurity by own production. The income from remittance was observed to be mainly used for consumption purposes to ensure food security. It appears that the feminization of agriculture leads to women playing not only important role in decision-making but also more responsibilities and heavier workloads without necessarily resulting in empowerment and improvement in well-being.

Published: January 2023

In today's economy, social media can be a valuable tool for businesses to conduct various marketing activities. In particular, social media marketing is imperative for tourism as it helps with branding, increasing awareness, and driving visitors. In this way, social media can be used in marketing communication, media promotion, and reaching more target consumers. A limited number of studies have investigated the topic of destination promotion from the tourism marketing perspective. As a result, social media has become a popular media reference that influences consumers' decision-making processes. This study aims to investigate how the promotion of beach destinations on social media affects destination attractiveness, destination image, and visit intention. This study examined the hypotheses of 320 respondents who possess Instagram accounts and have visited beach tourist destinations due to Instagram promotions. Smart-PLS 3.0 was used to examine the hypothesis using the structural equation modeling method. Test results indicate that promoting destinations on social media can significantly influence their attractiveness and public perception. When consumers believe that a destination is attractive, it will positively impact the destination's image. Furthermore, the destination image can significantly impact the visit intention. As a result, the findings of this study suggest that tourism businesses use the findings as an effective means to develop a positive image of a destination that is attractive. Furthermore, this study contributed to how tourism marketing businesses and researchers may be able to use Instagram to generate interest in visiting.

Published: January 2023

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework of continuance intention of e-wallet by rural youth in Malaysia.

Methodology: On the basis of knowledge induced from literature, a conceptual framework for continuance intention of e-wallet usage by rural youth in Malaysia has been developed. The proposed framework is demonstrated using an integrated Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT).

 Results: The framework provided detailed guidance for the development of a continuance intention of e-wallet usage by rural youth in Malaysia. Findings of this study suggest that social influence, perceived trust, and perceived security have significant impact on continuance intention of e- wallet usage among rural youths. Gender acts as a capable moderating role in the relationship between social influence, perceived trust, and perceived security, and continuance intention of e-wallet usage among rural youths.

 Implication: This framework describes the significance of social influence, perceived trust, and perceived security with gender act as moderating variable towards the continuance intention of e-wallet usage among rural youth. The study is particularly useful for practitioners by identifying advantages from suitable factors that can enhance the continuance intention among rural youths to use e-wallet and lead to a success of cashless society in Malaysia.

Hem Yahudi hem de Hristiyanlık geleneğinde mühim bir yere sahip olan Beytülahm, Filistin bölgesinin fethi sonrasında İslam egemenliğiyle tanışmıştır. Osmanlılar buraya hâkim olduklarında karşılarında Hristiyan karakteri güçlü bir köy bulmuşlardır. Nitekim Müslümanların karyeye yerleşme teşebbüsüne rağmen burası bu özelliğini muhafaza etmiş ve on altıncı yüzyılın sonlarında bu iskân denemesi tamamen başarısızlığa uğramıştır. Önemli bir hac mekânı olarak varlığını koruyan ve Hristiyan hacıları cezbeden köyde, muhtelif Îsevî mezhepler dini ehemmiyetini göz önünde bulundurarak kendilerine çeşitli mabetler inşa etmişlerdir. Kutsal gördükleri dini mekânlara hâkim olma arzusu, zaman içinde bazı tartışmaların ve sürtüşmelerin ortaya çıkmasına yol açmış ve bu ihtilaflarda Osmanlı Devleti, problemin halli için bir hâkim ve hakem olarak davet edilmiştir. Mevcut statükonun muhafazası ve herkesin rahat bir biçimde ibadetlerini eda etmeleri, yöneticilerin krize yaklaşımlarını belirleyen esaslar olmuştur.

Beytülahm, Yavuz Sultan Selim’in (1512-1520) ilhakından 1917 senesine kadar Osmanlı idaresinde kalmıştır. Osmanlı arşivlerinden köyün on altıncı yüzyıldaki durumuna ilişkin bilgi edinmek mümkündür. Bu makalede başta tahrir defterleri olmak üzere Mühimme kayıtlarıyla diğer belgeler rehberliğinde günümüzde artık bir şehre dönüşmüş olan Beytülahm’in adı geçen asırdaki mazisine ışık tutulacak, böylece Filistin tarihinin bir kısmının anlaşılmasına katkı sağlanmış olunacaktır.

Jurnalisme Investigasi dalam Film Dokumenter The End Game
Authors: Megawati Cita Inggil , Agus Sriyanto
Published: January 2023

Watchdoc Documentary as one of the alternative media in Indonesia, often shows the results of journalistick work in a documentary film.one of them is The EndGame documentary film which raises issues about the current KPK situation. Watchdoc courage in covering the issue in depth caused controversy in various circles. That’s what makes me interested in knowing the description of investigative journalism that implemented in the film. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach by analyzing using the theory of eight elements of investigative journalism and four characteristics of investigative journalism by Santana (2003). From the results of this study, shows that Watchdoc’s coverage of the KPK issue has fullfilled all the characteristics and elements of investigative journalism. However, in its search Watchdoc does not emphasize the principle of cover both side or search for the opposite point of view. Watchdoc doesn’t present sources from institutional representative, Watchdoc only uses open statements from various press conference and news snippets that have been published. In conclusion, the documentary film focuses more on how and why it happened, not revealing what and who is the mastermind behind the issue. So, overall the results are still not clear enough to be called as a perfect investigative journalism, but rather lead to in-depth reporting with an advocacy jornalism perspective.

Published: January 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of covid 19 on the movement of the JCI Stock Price by testing various combinations of the input variables of closed price stock data on the JCI. The analysis is carried out to find the best RMSE value from the combination of these input variables using the neural network method. The best RMSE results are compared using the optimization of grid search and evolutionary parameters. The data used in this study was taken from the Yahoo.finance.com page on the JCI Historical Data, during the covid pandemic, from 12/11/2019 to 12/30/2021. The data obtained are 509 records. The input variable used is the closing price data (closed price) as a target. The preprocessing data used are data cleansing, filtering, and windowing until seven days before. The results obtained an RMSE value of 0.104 five days before Close t (P=5), training cycle 9000. Momentum 0.9 and learning rate 0.2 is then optimized using the grid search parameter to produce RMSE 0.101, training cycle 100. Learning rate 1 and momentum 0.1 are then compared with evolutionary parameters, which make RMSE 0.103 at learning rate 0.029, momentum 0.68, and training cycle 86. Based on this research, optimizing grid search parameters produces better RMSE than evolutionary parameter optimization. This small RMSE result shows that investors are still safe to invest.

Havacılık faaliyetleri için meteorolojik faktörler çok önem taşımaktadır. Özellikle şiddetli kar yağışları havalimanlarının kapanmasına, havalimanlarına ulaşılan yolların kapanmasına ve/veya kilitlenmesine neden olmaktadır. Bu da ekonomik
olarak çok büyük kayıplara neden olduğu gibi, havalimanlarında ve yollarda kalan birçok yolcunun zor anlar yaşamasına neden olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; Türkiye’nin en büyük havalimanı olan İstanbul Uluslararası Havalimanı
(International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) kodu: LTFM)’de meydana gelen kar yağışlarının istatistiksel analizini yaparak en şiddetli kar yağışlarının olduğu günlerdeki meteorolojik şartlarını belirlemektir. Elde edilen sonuçlar
ileride meydana gelmesi beklenen benzer etkili kar yağışlarının tahminini kolaylaştıracaktır. Çalışma periyodu olarak, havalimanının açıldığı gün olan 29 Ekim 2018 tarihinden 1 Mayıs 2022 tarihine kadar geçen zaman olarak seçilmiştir.
Veriler Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü (MGM)’den temin edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında Aviation Routine Weather Report (METAR), Aviation Selected Special Weather Report (SPECI), sinoptik rasatlar, sinoptik haritalar, radar ve uydu
görüntüleri incelenmiştir. Çalışma kapsamında kar yağışlarının deniz etkili kar (DEK), cephesel kar ve siklonik dönüş sonucu oluşan kar yağışları olarak sınıflandırması yapılmıştır. Kar kalınlıklarının en yüksek olduğu 3 gün tespit
edilmiştir. Bu günler için analiz yapılarak birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. En yüksek kar kalınlığı 25 Ocak 2022 tarihinde 36 cm olarak ölçülmüştür. Bu şiddetli kar yağışında, pist görüş mesafesi 200 m’ye kadar düşmüştür. Havalimanı
belirli bir süre kapalı kalmıştır.
