"Climate change and the consumption of resources have caused to be focused on zero waste management and circular economy. The aim of this study is to reveal the approaches to circular economy and zero waste management in the world and in our country. The European Union develops the legislative infrastructure, also prepares and implements action plans to enable its member countries to transition to circular economy and develop sustainable waste management models. In our country, the developments in the world are closely followed, and the legislative infrastructure is developed in this direction. In addition, actions are taken on the necessary practices to fight against climate change and transition to a circular economy with the current legislation and action plans. In the study, the general framework for Zero Waste Management and Circular Economy in the world and the principles adopted by the countries, the practices of our country in this direction, the legislative developments in recent years and the actions taken are evaluated. Practices in countries such as Germany, Italy, England and the USA, as well as the Zero Waste Project, Zero Waste Blue Project, Mandatory Deposit Management System and Green Deal Action Plan in our country, and in some sectors within the scope of transition to circular economy are given. Zero waste management and circular economy are directly related issues, and when a circular economy approach is adopted in waste and resource management, resource consumption and primary raw material usage will be reduced. In addition, a significant part of the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN Development Program and the fight against climate change will be contributed."

"Among the most urgent problems faced by humanity today are global warming, climate change and the consequent pollution and environmental disasters and the resulting endangered species. Glaciers in the northern and southern poles are melting, rainfall are becoming increasingly unbalanced, exposing certain regions suffer from excessive precipitation and flood disasters, while some others suffer from drought and desertification. Air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, i.e. environmental pollution are felt at an alarming level, and limited natural resources are depleted rapidly. Some of the prominent concepts produced by the efforts to stop the rot and make a more viable environment possible are sustainable development, green economy, green growth, renewable energy, and circular economy. This study investigates circular economy and related concepts, evaluating the current situation in this process and offers certain suggestions to achieve sustainable development and circular economy."

"Türkiye has a large number of habitats that can be used as a living space for various species due to its geographical location (it is located at the intersection of three continents; Europe, Asia, and Africa), climatic features, and unique topographic structure. This situation, which continued throughout the geological ages, paved the way for Türkiye to have a rich biodiversity and to host many living things. Today, approximately 12,000 land plants, over 500 marine plants, roughly 2,000 fungi, almost 1,200 lichens, over 80,000 terrestrial invertebrates (insects, scorpions, spiders, etc.), over 3,000 marine invertebrates (sponges, corals, molluscs, ringworms, arthropods, echinoderms, etc.), approximately 520 marine fish, roughly 270 freshwater fish, 40 amphibians, 130 reptiles, 480 bird, and 165 mammal species live in Türkiye. Every day, new species continue to be discovered and the numbers of the living groups keep increasing. On the other hand, certain species and their habitats are under threat of extinction due to various reasons, primarily because of human influence. To protect these species and their habitats, it is extremely important for them to be recognized first and then be introduced and promoted to the public."

"Conservation of agricultural biodiversity is essential in terms of ensuring food security for future generations. Therefore, studies examining the relationship between human health and agricultural biodiversity are increasing recently. In this study, change of bioactive components in foods depending on the genotype has been highlighted. In addition to this, current studies examining the relationship between human health and agricultural biodiversity have been covered. According to the results, various studies have shown that the type and amount of bioactive components in foods can vary significantly depending on the genotype. Moreover, it has been reported that the conservation of biodiversity can play an important role in the prevention of some global-scale health problems. It has been also stated that the factors that threaten biodiversity cause negative effects on the environment and society by putting human and animal health at risk. There is a need for interdisciplinary research in order to examine the effects of biodiversity on human health in detail. The steps to be taken for the protection and improvement of biodiversity will be important investments in terms of both human and public health."

"Biodiversity is among the natural richness of countries. Türkiye is a lucky country in terms of biodiversity and is located at the intersection of 3 of the 34 important zoogeographic regions in the world. Inland waters is a term that covers several aquatic habitats such as rivers, lakes, lagoons, caves and underground waters. It is necessary to determine the biological diversity of vertebrates and invertebrates living in Türkiye’s inland waters, and then to protect the habitats of species endemic to our country. Factors that threaten the biological diversity of Türkiye’s inland waters can be listed as global climate change, habitat destruction, pollution, the introduction of alien species, excessive and/or illegal hunting, excessive water consumption, tourism and interventions to the water regime. Human activities are directly or indirectly involved in the basis of all these factors. The excessive pressure in our rivers and lakes and the lack of environmental awareness at the desired level or indifference negatively affect the destruction/loss of habitat in our inland waters and thus our biological diversity. In this context, as administrative power can do, we, as citizens, need to be much more careful, especially in terms of environmental awareness and respect for natural life."

"With the developing technology and transportation opportunities, human beings have reached almost every part of our planet, and today’s world has rapidly globalized. However, this globalization was not limited to trade, travel and other activities; had effects on the living world. The organisms from different groups, from bacteria to fungi, from plants to animals, and also viruses have been transported directly (consciously) or indirectly (unknowingly) all over the world and this situation continues to increase. In this article, examples from Türkiye and the world are given about the factors that cause changes in the biota (flora + fauna) structure both on land and in the sea, transportation routes, methods and their results. In addition, the globalization of living things with transportation, in other words, the effects of changes in their biogeography on native (indigeneous) species, especially their relations with endangered and vulnarable plant and animal species, are emphasized and also it has been tried to draw attention to the importance of the precautions to be taken against alien/invasive species and the creation of a database in our country."

"This study explains the richness of the animal biodiversity in our country. There are around 12.000 plant species, over 20.000 invertebrate species and over 1.500 vertebrate species in Türkiye. The subject is examined with examples of some bird and mammal species that are subject to wildlife management in Türkiye, especially to hunting. These species are; mallard, pochard, white-headed duck, Caucasian black grouse, pheasant, Caspian snowcock, great bustard and turtle dove, as bird species, and mammal species such as red deer, roe deer, fallow deer, wild goat, chamois, wild boar, Brown bear and grey wolf. Similar to the rest of the world, there is a decrease in wild animal populations in Türkiye. Although most of the problems faced by the wildlife are similar to those in the rest world, there are also some problems specific to our country. This study is focused on negative factors that are affecting the wildlife. Main factors that are affecting wildlife in Türkiye are illegal hunting, global climate change, human population growth, environmental pollution, destruction and fragmentation of habitats, diseases, natural disasters, stray animals, change in land use, intensive agriculture, fertilisers and chemical pesticides. Subsequently it is explained that international conventions can be a guide in overcoming these problems."

"Due to its location and different geographical features, our country is a very rich country in terms of animal diversity. In the light of research findings, expert evaluations and information obtained from various surveys, it is clear that serious losses have occurred in farm animal genetic resources in the last 50 years. However, animal genetic resources are very important for the development of animal husbandry and animal production. Both molecular and archaeological studies show that domestic animals such as sheep, goats and cattle were domesticated from Anatolia. It is a social duty to protect this natural heritage in our lands. Numerous projects have been carried out under the direction of TUBITAK Marmara Research Center to characterize animal genetic resources of our country and protect them in biobanks. These projects will lead the efforts to protect genetic resources, and first “National Domestic Animal Gene Banks” were established within the scope of the TURKHAYGEN-I project. Within the scope of the “Research, Conservation and Management of Large Mammal Species in the context of National Biodiversity and Gene Resources Conservation Goals” project, genetic characterization of some wild animals was carried out and biobanks were established."

"Future climate projections for the Mediterranean basin, where the effects of climate change are highly felt, revealed that there will be changes in the habitats of trees. In this context, the aim of the study is to evaluate the current and future distribution and adaptation ability of Quercus ilex L. (Holm oak) within the context of climate change. Within the scope of TÜBİTAK Project numbered 117O982, incremental cores, woods and leaf samples were taken from 102 different research points covering all natural areas in Türkiye, which is the easternmost border of its worldwide distribution. According to the species distribution models obtained based on the climate scenarios used, the presence of the species in the South Aegean Region will continue in the 2070s, albeit decreasing, whereas the Black Sea and Marmara Regions will become more suitable for the distribution of the species. Thus, the amount of land suitable for the distribution of the species in terms of climate will increase in Türkiye. It was concluded that the adaptation power of water transporting systems and tree rings in the woods of the species and its leaf characteristics is high. Therefore, it is predicted that the species will be resistant to the changing climatic conditions in suitable growing areas of the Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea region. For this reason, it can be recommended to preserve the natural distribution areas of the species in the Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea regions, to cultivate it in forest areas close to sea level and the coast, and to prefer it more in urban groves, parks and roads."

"Paleobotanical and paleopalynological studies contain information from the appearance of the first vascular terrestrial plants in the Late Ordovician-Silurian to the Neogene in 4.5 billion years of Earth geological history. In this period based on published studies., the traces of plant life in Anatolia as macro and microflora and their ecological responses have been shared very concisely. In the geological time scale, issues such as continental movements, geomorphology, sea and land effect-view, sea level changes, atmospheric oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration, temperature changes, which play an important role in the change and control of ecological conditions, especially climate are included. Thus, an approach has been tried to be made on the reactions of biodiversity in the vegetative sense to the past and its evolution naturally. The oldest paleobotanical and paleopalynological data in Anatolia belong to the Early Devonian-Early Carboniferous with eophytic/paleophytic flora in the Taurus Mountains and Arabian Platform, Lower-Middle Carboniferous (with Euramirc flora) in Zonguldak-Amasra, Kastamonu-Çamdağ Early-Late Permian and Diyarbakır-Hazro Late Carboniferous (North Atlantic), Middle-Late Permian (with Gondwana flora) of the Anagarian type floras. The Triassic-Jurassic deposits, investigated palynologically at many points in the Pontides and Taurus Mountains, reflect vegetation with Mesophytic flora (gymnosperms-conifer, cycad-dominated and new seed plants added-Pteridospermatophyta). Under the influence of increasing drought during the Triassic, this flora must have survived under conditions where warm-dry and humid-warm periods were interrupted by long droughts. The Late Cretaceous-Paleocene from the Nallıhan and Cihanbeyli-Yeniceoba basins and the Late Cretaceous flora from SE Anatolia identified include various angiosperms (such as Normapolles, Postnormapolles, Juglandales, Myricales ect.), a few gymnosperms (Pinus, Cedripites, Taxodiaceae and Araucariaceae) and dominance of the aquatic species. Paleogeographically, this region must have been located close to the Gondwana landmass in the Cretaceous."

In vitro alcohol induced dose dumping studies for Quetiapine fumarate floating drug delivery systems
Authors: P. Poornima  , Rashmi Bagri  , G. Tulja Rani
Published: September 2023

Alcohol dose dumping can occur due to the solubility of the pharmaceutical excipients, the solubility of the drug, and the formulation’s drug release mechanism. Cellulosics are the most commonly used polymers in pharmaceutical controlled release technologies. The ethanol vulnerability of tablets made with HPMC K250, HPMC K750 and HPMC K1500 were investigated with the low soluble drug quetiapine fumarate. Quetiapine fumarate is an antipsychotic drug and it is suitable drug candidate for FDDS due to its solubility in low pH. HPMC K250, HPMC K750 and HPMC K1500 were used as a polymer matrix to control the release of quetiapine fumarate up to 24 hr. The quetiapine floating tablets were prepared by direct compression method. All the tablets were evaluated for the Pre-compression and post Compression Parameter. In-vitro dissolution study was done in Normal Dissolution Media, 0.1N Hcl and also in 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% v/v hydro alcoholic media for up to 24 hrs. All HPMC K250, HPMC K750 and HPMC K1500 preparation did not fail in alcoholic media. From these studies it was concluded that the concern around alcohol dose dumping seems negligible for these polymers.

O abuso de substâncias psicoativas pela mulher no período pré-natal tem chamado a atenção para a necessidade de práticas de cuidado materno-neonatal que sejam culturalmente competentes. Desta forma, este estudo teve como objetivo relatar limitações e potencialidades de cuidado transcultural ao binômio mãe usuária de álcool ou outras drogas e seu neonato, observadas no dia a dia da maternidade. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de natureza exploratória, descritiva, com perspectiva etnográfica sobre o cuidado prestado ao binômio mãe usuária de álcool ou outras drogas e seu neonato, realizada entre 2018 e 2020 em maternidades. Os dados foram obtidos por meio de observação participante e entrevistas às puérperas e profissionais de saúde, discutindo-os à luz da Teoria de Madeleine Leininger. As limitações e potencialidades do cuidado focaram no acolhimento, na comunicação entre os profissionais e as pacientes, na identificação de sinais de dependência e abstinência na puérpera, nas orientações em saúde e na rotina de avaliação neonatal. A compreensão cultural e o vínculo etnográfico permitiram uma relação de confiança, de busca de conhecimento e de construção coletiva para o efetivo cuidado culturalmente congruente frente às limitações encontradas.

Published: September 2023

Considerando que as práticas clínicas se baseiam tanto em conhecimentos científicos como em crenças e valores nem sempre conscientes, este estudo objetiva investigar o imaginário coletivo de profissionais de saúde mental sobre o paciente psiquiátrico, na perspectiva da psicologia psicanalítica concreta. Justifica-se, portanto, desde o interesse em aperfeiçoar a qualidade do atendimento, tendo em vista tanto o benefício dos pacientes, como a melhoria das condições de exercício profissional. A partir de uma entrevista psicológica coletiva, articulada ao redor do uso do Procedimento de Desenhos-Estórias com Tema, abordamos sete profissionais de nível superior que trabalham em equipamento de saúde mental. A consideração do material permitiu a produção interpretativa de dois campos de sentido afetivo-emocional: “Sofredores psicóticos” e “Impostores dependentes”. O quadro geral apresenta a coexistência de visões solidárias e éticas diante do psicótico com visões preconceituosas e hostis em relação ao dependente químico. Esse contraste se baseia sobretudo na dificuldade em perceber que a base motivacional do uso da droga seria o sofrimento emocional. Como um todo, esse cenário permite pensar que a reforma psiquiátrica gerou transformações que promovem acolhimento, mas que ainda permanecem estigmas a serem superados.

Objective: To investigate the relationship between anticholinergic load (ACL) and self-perceived general health in adults in a medium-sized municipality in southern Brazil. Methods: This cross-sectional study was based on 2015 data from a medium-sized municipality in southern Brazil. All respondents aged 44 years or older who reported using drugs in the 2 weeks before the interview were included (n = 662). The Anticholinergic Drug Scale was used to measure the ACL. Self-perceived health was categorized as positive self-perception (PSP) or negative self-perception (NSP). Crude and adjusted Poisson regression analyses were conducted to investigate the association between ACL and self-perceived health. Results: NSP was found in 50.91% of 662 respondents. Significant ACL, older age, lower economic status, lower education, polypharmacy, and depression correlated with a higher frequency of NSP. Individuals with significant ACL had a prevalence of NSP of 1.27 (95% confidence interval: 1.02 – 1.58), and each additional ACL level represented a 6.10% higher chance of worse self-perceived health, regardless of confounding factors. Conclusions: An association was found between significant ACL and NSP, with an effect dependent on ACL level.

El propósito de este trabajo es presentar resultados de una investigación sobre las representaciones de género en niños y niñas de 10 y 11 años, focalizando en algunas de las dimensiones indagadas: autopercepción de sexo/género, diferencias y jerarquías de género, atribución de las diferencias, fuentes de información y posibilidades de reflexión con pares y docentes. El tema de nuestra indagación se ubica en el campo del desarrollo de los conocimientos sobre las instituciones sociales y el mundo social, y utiliza un diseño de estudio de casos intrínseco. La revisión bibliográfica previa ha puesto de manifiesto la dificultad de encontrar antecedentes específicos para nuestra investigación, principalmente aquellos que recuperen la voz de las niñas y los niños mediante el uso de metodologías cualitativas y que enfoquen el tema desde la psicología del desarrollo. Las respuestas infantiles mostraron, en general, concepciones más ligadas a una perspectiva biologicista binaria, sin distinción entre sexo y género, basada en caracteres sexuales primarios y secundarios. Asimismo, la totalidad de las y los entrevistados hicieron alusión al derecho a la igualdad de género en cuanto a las ocupaciones y actividades de la vida cotidiana. En base a lo señalado y a la importancia del tema en el contexto actual, creemos que esta investigación puede brindar una mirada desde la psicología del desarrollo sobre las concepciones infantiles y ofrecer, además, insumos valiosos para la elaboración de propuestas de enseñanza de la Educación Sexual Integral (ESI) en el ámbito escolar.
Effective Use of Metacognitive Strategies of Students in ESL Writing Based on Gender
Authors: Mohd Dollah Murni Hayati bt , Nair Subadrah Madhawa , Wider Walton
Published: September 2023

There is a clear association between gender differences in using metacognitive strategies in English as a second language (ESL) writing and poor writing achievement, and one of the factors that contributes to this correlation is the sense of how male or female students use their brain hemisphere when presented with the writing task. Students who are studying ESL view the ESL writing task as difficult because they find it significantly more difficult to use metacognitive writing strategies in their writing tasks due to their poor proficiency in ESL and failure to use appropriate metacognitive writing strategies, which makes it difficult for them to write a coherent and cohesive essay. This study's primary purpose is to investigate whether students’ gender significantly affects their metacognitive writing strategies before, during, and after writing. This study employed a descriptive research design using quantitative data. 480 Form Four students from 12 secondary schools in Melaka, Negeri Sembilan, and Selangor made up the study's sample. The sample was chosen via purposive sampling. In order to gather data, the questionnaire served as the preferred method. The data from the questionnaire were analyzed using SPSS for Windows version 25. In this study, a one-way ANOVA was employed to detect whether there was a discernible gender gap in the use of metacognitive writing strategies before, during, and after the writing process by ESL male and female students. This study showed some interesting findings. First, the findings showed that in the use of overall metacognitive writing strategies, female students were much higher than their counterparts in ESL writing in terms of taking a position on the topic. Second, and this difference is crucial, female students also employed more metacognitive writing strategies before, during, and after writing. Therefore, it is suggested that metacognitive writing strategies be employed as an effective pedagogical tool to improve students’ writing performance and thus, education quality, in future ESL classes.

Authors: Saputra Anandhika Agus , Cahyo Rudi
Published: September 2023

For many students, starting college marks a significant transition. Students must face many transitions as they enter college, including changes in their life, academic environment, social environment, and adjusting to their independence and responsibilities. Although many students successfully make the transition to college, The importance of transition and adjustment for students in their first year is fascinating to investigate, and this paper investigates college adjustment predictors in assisting students and first-year student in their transition to university. A systematic literature review will turn up several articles on transitions and adjustment of first-year students. The goal of this review is to determine the predictors of college adjustment. According to the findings of a literature review, there are four domain factors that are predictors of college adjustment: personality trait factors, external factors, coping style factors, and demographic factors. The limitation of this review may be added during the selection of the articles, the setting of the articles is not chosen specifically implying the countries are mixed between continents randomly, also the articles chosen are only limited from English language only, implying that the articles written in developing countries are not included and reviewed.
Using FitnessGram to Measure the Impact of ‘Lost’ Physical Education During the COVID Years
Authors: G. Pennington Colin
Published: September 2023

Physical education can play a critical role in helping children establish a foundation for an active lifestyle. There is reason to believe the impact of COVID-19 eliminating compulsory physical education in the K-12 setting only exasperated the problem of increasingly physically unhealthy children in the United States. Much of what kinesiology and public-health scholars know about the fitness level of American youths are based on dated or retrospective data; FitnessGram has emerged as a viable option for revealing the present-day physical health of youth populations. There is clear potential for FitnessGram data to contribute to advancing knowledge about current levels of health-related fitness in youth. In this study, researchers using FitnessGram data from an independent K-12 school district in Texas, USA (ISD) investigated K-12 students’ fitness levels and patterns after the COVID-19 pandemic.

Published: September 2023

Tomato fruit yields have a variety, not only ripe fruit but also the condition of tomatoes that are still raw or half-ripe. By naked eye, tomato ripeness can be seen by the difference in three colors, namely red, yellow and green. Each color difference describes the level of maturity. However, human decisions in distinguishing the color of ripe tomatoes can vary and are more subjective. With the help of an image processing system, the selection of tomato ripeness can be faster and more objective. This study uses the YOLOv4 algorithm which is implemented into a mobile computing device, namely the Raspberry Pi 3, to select the tomato image captured by a camera. The results of the YOLOv4 image process will be output to the actuator in the form of a conveyor equipped with a wiper that will sort tomatoes automatically. The result of this research is a prototype with the YOLOv4 algorithm that has been trained with the tomato dataset.

Published: September 2023

In this era of globalization, science and technology has developed rapidly, especially in the industrial world. As for science and technology that is beneficial to industry, namely for components of the production process, one of which is Valve control. This technology is used to modify the fluid flow or pressure rate in a process system by using power for its operation. The application of this control valve is used to control a pressure rate or quantity, such as the amount of oxygen gas content (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) in fruit and vegetable plants. In the research that has been carried out on the carbon dioxide (CO₂) process using a porous fiber membrane contactor, the gas model is absorbed in a pure state at cold room temperature. In this study, it is still an obstacle when applied in the field because there are many factors that have not been taken into account, so in an effort to control the wasted gas, an electric gas valve control system device is needed which is designed to determine the value of wasted gas. This system is designed with valve components, servo motors, solenoid valves, Arduino uno, and relays, where all these components are built and programmed with Arduino uno microcontroller. The results of the test are carried out to determine the level of accuracy of each input to the control valve and to determine the value of the gas wasted at the degree of opening of the valve. The test results on the ten forms of angular movement are when the valve works and opens at a movement angle of 0° to the movement, the valve opens at 0%. When the valve works and opens at an angle of movement of 10° to rotation, the valve opens by 11.1%, and when the valve works and opens at an angle of movement of 20° to 80° to the movement, the valve opens by 22.2% to by 88.8%, then when the valve works and opens at an angle of movement of 90° to the movement, the valve opens by 100% or fully opens. The benefits of this research in the performance process of production technology in industry are to meet consumer demand by producing safe, minimally processed, additive-free, and stable quality food.
