Işık, bitki büyümesinde önemli çevresel faktörlerden biridir. Birçok avantajından dolayı ışık yayan diyotlar (LED), bitkilerin ışık ortamının düzenlenmesi için önemli ışık kaynaklarından biri haline gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Thidiazuron (TDZ) içeren katı ve sıvı kültür ortamları ve farklı LED aydınlatma koşullarının Alternanthera reineckii Briq.’nin sürgün rejenerasyon yeteneği üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Boğum eksplantları 0,25-1 mg/L TDZ içeren Murashige ve Skoog (MS) besin ortamında kültüre alınmıştır. Aydınlatma için kırmızı, mavi ve beyaz LED tek olarak ve kırmızı ve mavi LED ışıkların farklı kombinasyonları kullanılmıştır. Kontrol olarak beyaz floresan tercih edilmiştir. Sürgün rejenerasyon değerleri incelendiğinde, LED ışıkların flouresan ışığa göre daha verimli oldukları görülmüştür. Daha fazla sürgün sayısı ve uzun sürgünler kırmızı ve mavi LED ışıkların kombinasyonlarında elde edilmiştir. 0,25 mg/L TDZ ve 1K:2M LED ışık uygulamaları katı kültür ortamında en fazla sayıda sürgünleri vermiştir (9,03 sürgün/eksplant). Sıvı kültür ortamında en fazla sürgün sayısı 0,50 mg/L TDZ ve 2K:1M LED uygulamalarında elde edilmiştir (11,62 sürgün/eksplant). Katı ve sıvı kültürlerde en uzun sürgünler 1K:2M LED ışık altında ve 0,25 mg/L TDZ’li MS besin ortamında tespit edilmiştir. Doku kültürü koşullarında köklendirlen bitkiler ardından akvaryum koşullarına başarışı şekilde alıştırılmıştır.
Molecular docking analysis of substituted 2-(1-benzylpiperidin-4-yl)-5-phenoxy-1H-benzo[d] imidazole derivatives as acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for the management of Alzheimer’s disease
Authors: Shome Abhimannu , A. Chawla Pooja
Published: November 2023

The loss of cholinergic neurons in the brain and hippocampus is the hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The hydrolyzing enzyme acetylcholinesterase (AChE) has been identified as a potential treatment for AD. One of the most significant scaffolds for AChE binding is benzyl piperidine, which is included in the medication donepezil. Along with benzimidazole, early investigations have also shown to significantly inhibit AChE. This study includes in designing of a hybrid of benzyl piperidine and benzimidazole as AChE inhibitors. The study revealed that B24, A24, and B8 showed the highest blood–brain barrier (BBB) permeability and binding affinities (−11.4 kcal/mol, 11.0 kcal/mol, and 11.1 kcal/mol, respectively). All the chemicals behaved similarly in the binding pocket of AChE. These important interactions between residues include those between Trp86, Tyr341, Ser293, and others. To stop the BBB from penetrating, polar substitutions on more than two locations were also identified. However, compound B24 is an exception. The series’ most potent ligands may be further evaluated biologically
Informelle Administrativnormen im Unionsrecht
Authors: Gurreck Matti
Published: November 2023

The use of legally non-binding norms is neither a novelty nor rare in European Union law. Nevertheless, many questions concerning these instruments have still not been conclusively answered. This book takes a close look at their use in energy and state aid law, focusing in particular on whether and how they can be categorised. In addition, their effects, both de jure and de facto, the legal limits of their use, and the question of judicial review are examined. It is shown that perceived certainties about “soft law” must be questioned and that the problems raised by these instruments should be addressed above all at the level of transparency.

Die geschäftliche Entscheidung im deutschen und europäischen Lauterkeitsrecht
Authors: Ziegenrücker Daniel
Published: November 2023

This dissertation is a comprehensive analysis of the "transactional decision" as a core term of unfair competition law. After a historical overview, the thesis fills a gap in the German literature by an extensive systematisation of case law and literature on the term. On this basis, and taking behavioral economics into account, an abstract definition is developed that allows for a coherent interpretation of the term. For a complete picture and using the proposed definition, the different functions of the transactional decision as a criterion of the prohibitions are also analysed in order to enable a dogmatically consistent interpretation.
Multistakeholder-Initiativen im Kontext deliktischer Haftung wegen der Verletzung von Sorgfaltspflichten in Lieferketten
Authors: Kroll Malte
Published: November 2023

The LkSG obliges certain companies to comply with appropriate due diligence requirements in their supply chains as of January 1, 2023. At the same time, numerous voluntary initiatives have been promoting such due diligence requirements for many years. Both due diligence concepts have their origins in the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. However, it remains open what impact voluntary initiatives, namely so-called multistakeholder initiatives, have or could have in the context of the LkSG. Using the example of a multistakeholder initiative from the textile industry, the author identifies parallels between the German Supply Chain Due Diligence Act and voluntary initiatives and seeks ways to connect the two approaches.

Development of a suitable pragmatic and cost effective biomonitoring method for assessing water pollution in tropical African rivers
Authors:   , Elias Julius
Published: November 2023

The needs of tropical African countries to develop their own biomonitoring indices using local macroinvertebrates as opposed to adoption or relying on non-tropical indices in biomonitoring programmes for assessing freshwater pollution were discussed. The discussion build-up involved: (i) reviewing of existing indices from non-tropical regions and their adoption setbacks in assessing pollution in tropical African rivers; (ii) testing of key review findings in the field at a small scale and then at a wide scope by characterizing macroinvertebrates while examining environmental variables; (iii) assigning pollution sensitivity ratings of macroinvertebrates based on related scoring systems and the help of PRIMER7 software; (iv) determination of macroinvertebrates response towards nutrients loading, and; (v) developing suitable and cost-effective biomonitoring method. The review paper, pilot and detailed studies and toxicity test study were aimed at laying the groundwork needed to develop a simple, quick and advanced tropical biomonitoring tool for initial application on Tanzanian rivers. Collectively, ninety seven macroinvertebrate families belonging to seventeen orders were observed at 85 sampling stations, representing 46 reference and 39 monitoring sites along Tanzanian rivers. All observed orders were subjected to six stepwise criteria to identify the one with a potential of discriminating reference from monitoring sites. The criteria include: numerical truncate test, Mann-Whitney test, inter-quartile overlap levels in Box-and-Whisker plots, Spearman rank correlation (rs) analysis, more diverse order (with > 10 taxa) and validation test. Ephemeroptera (E), Diptera (D), Odonata (O) and Trichoptera (T) orders that comprised the 55% (N = 97) of all Tanzanian families met all test criteria after being found with abundances > 2% upon truncate test, a p-value < 0.05 in a Mann-Whitney U test, a sensitivity score of 3, rs < 75% (with p < 0.005), higher number of taxa (n > 10) and separating reference from monitoring sites and thus, chosen to develop EDOT index. Being developed using only four and most diverse local orders, minimizes data variability, needs for great expertise and time in the field, the credibility that is not hitherto possessed by existing indices.

Published: November 2023

The focus of this article is on digital tools as part of mathematics education with six-year-olds. More explicitly, we study how the creation of digital animations, as a part of working on a problem-solving task, enables young students’ learning of combinatorics. In the article, the creation of digital animations implies that the students re-design, that is, recreate their solution procedure with a digital application. The aim with letting the young students create digital animations is diverse. We presume that such work enables problem solving as well as the learning of combinatorics, but also that it has potential to enable creativity and agency in learning. Video-documentations from three classrooms where students work on the problem-solving task were analysed from a multimodal perspective where teaching is seen as a design process. In that process, the teacher designs learning activities that give students access to different resources for their meaning making process. The results show that working with digital animations, when integrated in a learning design sequence, amplify students’ learning of combinatorics.

Authors: Uwihirwe Regine , Kimuya Stephen , Kamau Kung’u Gabriel
Published: November 2023

Vision 2050 envisage Rwanda as a high-income country with improved living standards for all Rwandans. One of the main pillars to help Rwanda achieve this ambition is building a strong education system that is able to develop human capital needed to fill the skill gap as required by the society and the industries. To achieve this, sustainability education could play a crucial role. This paper aims at investigating the effect of sustainability education on human capital development in Rwanda. Three key concepts of concern were identified in literature along which we built our discussions and analysis. These included, inclusive education (proxied by quality, equality and diversity in education), curriculum breadth (proxied by science and extra-curriculum activities) and industrial matching (proxied by skill transfer, meeting market needs and employability). The paper is anchored on human capital and social capital theories. The primary data was collected from a random sample of 270 students in University of Kigali (UoK) and University of Rwanda- College of Business Gikondo Campus. The paper used PLS-SEM method to model the relationships among the study variables and analysed using SmartPLS4. We find positive and significant effect of sustainability education on the human capital development. The results have policy and practical implications going forward to the future. We suggest a holistic integration of sustainability mentality in the education system in order to grow suitable human capital ready for the market.
Language Outlay for the Sokoto Cement Production System Using Deterministic Finite Automata Scheme
Authors: Ibrahim Zaid
Published: November 2023

This paper constructs the compact, detailed and extended models, and focuses on the algebraic theoretic strings and language of each transition of the finite automata scheme. It was discovered that from the initial stage to the final stage of cement production processes, each transition or production process can have a particular language. In addition, a language scheme is developed for each of the sub-states (sub-model) that leads to a theoretic study of language scheme and semantics of the model. It can be deduced that when represented as binary codes, the established schemes in the sub-states can be studied as a Boolean algebraic scheme.

After a couple of relatively hardcore posts on ilial osteology, we though it would be good to look at something lighter this time.  If you’re interested in dinosaurs, or indeed alive, you will hardly have been able to avoid seeing Francisco Gascó’s glorious life restoration of  Brontomerus  .
Naming new animals again: no families or subgenera
Authors: Taylor Mike
Published: November 2023

I have just made a series of fairly major edits to the in-progress Checklist for new zoological genera and species, and wanted to explain what’s changed and why. The important change is that the Checklist no longer attempts to encompass the creation of families, nor of all genus-group and species-group names — only genera and species.
Coombs’s chimaera

Published: November 2023

I first encountered that passage at age 9, in  The Dinosaurs  , by William Stout, William Service, and Bryon Preiss. Peter Dodson quoted it in his introduction to the book, and it really stuck in my head. So much so that I quoted it myself when the opportunity arose, and now present it here for your consideration.
Things to Make and Do, part 7: fun with rhea necks
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: November 2023

When you last saw this rhea neck, I was squeezing a thin, unpleasant fluid out of its esophagus. Previous rhea dissection posts are here and here; you may also be interested in my ratite clearing house post. We did that dissection back in 2006. Since then I finished my dissertation, got a tenure-track job, and moved twice. The rhea neck followed me, living in a succession of freezers until last spring.
Clearing the air about Brontomerus
Authors: Wedel Matt
Published: November 2023

 Introduction  Many people in the paleontological community have probably seen the comments about our work on  Brontomerus  by Jim Kirkland. Most of these comments have been posted on Facebook or sent around by email. We have held off until now in responding to them because we wanted to have everything–both the criticisms and our responses–publicly available to everyone, not in the walled garden of Facebook.

The World-Wide-Web is currently celebrating its 30th anniversary; you can get the T-shirt in the CERN visitor centre! Five years on, in May 1994, the first Web conference took place (WWW94) at CERN and now celebrating its own 25th anniversary. That 1994 conference also had various break-out sessions, one of which summarised the state of chemistry on the web at the time.
Does Kekulene have Kekulé vibrational modes? Yes!
Authors: Rzepa Henry
Published: November 2023

Increasingly, individual small molecules are having their structures imaged using STM, including cyclo[18]carbon that I recently discussed. The latest one receiving such treatment is Kekulene.[1] As with cyclo[18]carbon, the point of interest was which of the two resonance structures shown below most closely resembled the measured structure.

Why are illiberal monuments legally possible? Some insights from Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors: Pistan Carna
Published: November 2023

After unveiling a monument to the genocide denier Peter Handke a few years ago, local authorities in Banja Luka – the largest city of Bosnia’s Serb-dominated Republika Srpska entity – are now building a massive monument to the soldiers of the Bosnian Serb Army (VRS) who died in the war of 1992–95. The memorial site in Banja Luka is not the first dedicated to the VRS. On the contrary, it follows the example of other towns and municipalities in the Serb-dominated areas. Together, they form an illiberal politics of remembrance developed by Bosnia, and especially Republika Srpska, since the end of the war in the 1990s. This memory politics is marked by the denial of war atrocities and the glorification of war criminals. The ongoing construction of the monument in Banja Luka shows that, almost thirty years after the conflict, there is a need to establish a new and comprehensive legal framework for memorialization in Bosnia. In essence, memorialization should be aligned with human rights and enable the development of a democratic culture. To achieve this twofold goal, constitutional and legislative reforms are needed.
Fast Fashion and its Impact on Environmental Pollution and the Importance of Sustainability in Protecting the Environment
Authors: Qari Eman
Published: November 2023

The technological development, globalization, and the change in the purchasing behavior of the consumer lead to the emergence of a production method called rapid fashion, and this method relied on the speed of copying all the designs offered by major international fashion houses and manufacturing them as soon as possible at the lowest cost and provide the latest fashion for the owner in large numbers and at the lowest prices; Cheaply and that method in Production is anti-sustainable, which is mainly based on adherence to the ethics of design, production, environmental conservation and labor rights. The current research aims to focus on scientific research in the field of sustainability, especially in the field of fashion and clothing because of its harmful effects on the environment significantly shedding light on the negative effects of fast fashion. It defines the ethics of sustainability in the field of fashion and its production. And highlight the wrong practices that appear from fast fashion companies. Suggestions must also be made to apply the rules and standards in sustainability in fast fashion. The research problem is determined by the following questions: How effective scientific research is in sustainability in the field of clothing production? What is its impact on the environment? The study followed the analytical approach to analyze the impact of fast fashion and clothing on the environment, and the applied approach in training workers in factories on sustainable methods in the clothing industry by providing ideas and proposals that make the environment clean for sustainability and applying them in the field of clothing. And conducting interviews for experts and decision makers in ready-made clothing factories and companies to poll their opinions through a scale to find out whether sustainability in clothing and the use of trust materials have an impact on the environment towards the proposed study and reach the results. The results of the study found a statistically significant relationship between sustainability in the field of clothing and consumer and environmental preservation by 83% and an average correlation of 8.51. There is also a statistically significant relationship between workers in the manufacture of clothing and maintaining sustainability standards to protect the environment between sustainability 73% with an average correlation of 0.49. With a significance level of 0.00. The researcher recommends paying attention to scientific studies that are concerned with the areas of sustainability to preserve the environment and consumer awareness in the field of sustainability and environmental preservation.
