Authors:   Branch of JSCB FORA-BANK (JSC) in Kaluga, Beloded Diana
Published: December 2020

Ensuring the safety of human activity remains an urgent problem for most social institutions. During a difficult epidemiological situation, isolation on a global scale, economic shocks, and media pressure, psychological security is even more affected by external factors. People with a set of certain psychological characteristics are easier to resist the negative influence of the environment, others – less. Therefore, timely identification of persons exposed to psychological security threats will allow us to take prompt measures to minimize the risks of undesirable consequences of their behavior. This article discusses the possibility of identifying the psychological characteristics of a person by analyzing the graphic indicators of his handwriting. Analysis of the literature on the research topic showed a high interest in the psychological analysis of handwriting, the reliability and objectivity of its methods, but also revealed the lack of a unified position and the need for additional research. The solution lies in the implementation of a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis of psychological characteristics of the individual based on graphic handwriting indicators. For the study, a sample of 30 people aged 25-44 years was examined, of which 23 were women and 7 were men. As a result of the study, graphic handwriting indicators were established that correlate with psychological characteristics according to the R. Kettell questionnaire. The results obtained can later be used as an additional method for evaluating internal factors of psychological security of the individual.

Published: December 2020

The article analyzes the problem of the deficit of the mechanism of joint attention, which affects the formation of the child's ability to separate intentions as a social foundation for the processes of mastering cognitive functions, using speech and learning. The study is devoted to a comparative analysis of the picture of atypical joint attention in a sample of children with different forms of developmental disabilities. To understand the normative and deficient manifestations of joint attention, a comparative study of a sample of typically developing preschool children with groups of children with atypical development was carried out. The aim of the study was to highlight the manifestation of a deficit in joint attention, which prevents involvement in dyadic (bilateral) interactions with an adult, which are necessary for the comprehensive development and learning of a child. Methodology. In an experimental situation of real interaction of a child with an adult and with the help of an eye tracker, it was possible to fix eye movements as a marker of joint attention in real time. The specificity of the functional organization of oculomotor activity as an indicator of the child's participation in joint attention is highlighted. Results and its discussion. Methods of tracking eye movements made it possible to analyze critical shifts of attention, changes in focus of attention, gaze shifting, eye recognition as an informative sign and perception of the partner's gaze direction as a necessary condition for the effective establishment of an episode of joint attention. Conclusions. The following were recorded as diagnostic markers of joint attention disorders in preschoolers with different forms of atypical development: difficulties in following the direction of an adult's gaze; anticipatory actions of the child or decision-making by the method of "guessing" / "trial and error"; the predominance of the orientation of the child's attention to the object, and not to the adult; dispersion of fixations of visual attention; the use of additional multimodal means of establishing joint attention (head turn, gestures, speech, etc.); decrease in the accuracy of fixing visual attention.

Offshore wind energy – South Africa’s untapped resource
Authors: Rae Gordon , Erfort Gareth
Published: December 2020

In the context of the Anthropocene, the decoupling of carbon emissions from electricity generation is critical. South Africa has an ageing coal power fleet, which will gradually be decommissioned over the next 30 years. This creates substantial opportunity for a just transition towards a future energy mix with a high renewable energy penetration. Offshore wind technology is a clean electricity generation alternative that presents great power security and decarbonisation opportunity for South Africa. This study estimated the offshore wind energy resource available within South Africa’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), using a geographic information system methodology. The available resource was estimated under four developmental scenarios. This study revealed that South Africa has an annual offshore wind energy production potential of 44.52 TWh at ocean depths of less than 50 m (Scenario 1) and 2 387.08 TWh at depths less than 1 000 m (Scenario 2). Furthermore, a GIS-based multi-criteria evaluation was conducted to determine the most suitable locations for offshore wind farm development within the South African EEZ. The following suitable offshore wind development regions were identified: Richards Bay, KwaDukuza, Durban, and Struis Bay. Based on South Africa’s annual electricity consumption of 297.8 TWh in 2018, OWE could theoretically supply approximately 15% and 800% of South Africa’s annual electricity demand with offshore wind development Scenario 1 and 2 respectively.
Testing concurrent benefits for Section 12L tax incentives in South Africa
Authors: Hamer W. , Mathews E.H. , Gous A.G.S. , Booysen J. , Vosloo J.C.
Published: December 2020

The South African energy crisis harms the economy. Tax incentives are intended to help, but rules for incentives must be understood by all stakeholders for taxpayers to be encouraged to invest. Section 12L (S12L) is relatively new legislation that allows a tax deduction for verified year-on-year energy efficiency savings in South Africa. Concurrent benefits are excluded from this tax incentive, to prevent a double reward for the same activity. Although the prevention of double benefits is commonly addressed in the field of measurement and verification (M&V), non-technical guidelines are not available. This is a critical shortcoming since multiple professions (tax, audit and legal) need to understand the technical M&V requirements of S12L. This study reviews the current legislation and interpretations of concurrent benefits in terms of S12L. It shows that multiple energy-related incentives are utilised by industries and that, therefore, it must be determined if different programmes overlap, so as to create concurrent benefits with S12L. It is then critical to correctly apply M&V practice to ensure exclusion of concurrent benefits. This study also provides a simplified methodology to evaluate concurrency, based on the S12L regulatory requirements and standard M&V methods. Three case studies show how concurrency can occur and how M&V practice is applied to exclude double benefits. The test for concurrency is shown to reduce to the following question: Is the same energy saving funded twice? The tests must be done to ensure no double benefit occurs.
The electrical energy impact of small-scale onsite generation: A case study of a 75 kWp grid-tied PV system
Authors: Mhundwa Russel , Simon Michael , Nana Yongoua Joel
Published: December 2020

This study presents an analysis of a 75 kWp grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) system with a grid tie limiter to provide energy requirements for an aquaculture centre in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa. A data acquisition system, comprising power and energy consumption meters, was deployed to measure solar PV generation, demand for the facility, and energy drawn from the utility grid. Statistical analysis was conducted on the data to determine the impact of the solar PV plant in reducing demand from the utility grid throughout the day, and this was extrapolated into monthly and annual contributions by the PV system to meeting the energy requirements. Findings reveal that the annual energy yield for the system was 1 864.29 kWh/kWp. The solar contribution to the total load requirement on a 24 hour cycle was 28% (139.82 MWh) from July 2018 to June 2019. Summer and winter average contributions by the PV system were 62% and 57% respectively for the period of 05:30–18:30. The mean monthly solar fraction for operating the farm between sunrise and sunset was 0.44. Furthermore, a total of 141.07 tCO2 has been avoided due to the operation of the PV system.
The Challenges of Protecting Refugees in Mixed Migration, vis-à-vis the Application of Articles 1f and 31 of the Refugee Convention
Authors: Eberechi Oghenerioborue Esther
Published: December 2020

This article embarks on a critical analysis of the application of articles 1F and 31 of the Refugee Convention in a mixed migration setting in Africa. It exposes the problem of mixed migration and how it affects refugees and offers a brief history and scope and purpose of these articles. This study argues that article 1F(b) is ambiguous and inadequate, and that it provides room for adjudicators to exclude certain migrants from refugee status. On the other hand, owing to vagueness in these articles, refugees can be penalised, criminalised and detained for possible extradition and repatriation. Additionally, refugees who enter countries of refuge amidst other migrants may find it difficult to report to an appropriate centre to apply for refugee status. Thus, they are not able to comply with article 31 of the Refugee Convention. Therefore, the author recommends the amendment of both articles 1F and 31 of the Refugee Convention to eliminate problematic ambiguities.
The Patchwork Text as Assessment Tool for Postgraduate Law Teaching in South Africa
Authors: Horn JG , Van Niekerk L
Published: December 2020

In the increasingly competitive higher education sphere, delivering graduates with a sound academic grounding in their discipline is no longer enough. Institutions of higher learning must yield lifelong learners who are employable and equipped with the practical skills required by the profession. To ensure this, the right assessment approach is key. While assessment has always been a crucial component of instruction, traditional assessment tools run the risk of being mere tools for certification, facilitating surface learning instead of deep learning. Assessment approaches need to be re-evaluated to strike a balance between encouraging deep learning and instilling proper academic knowledge in graduates. To contribute to such a re-evaluation of traditional assessment methods, this article reports on the introduction of the patchwork text (PWT) as an alternative assessment tool in postgraduate law teaching at the University of the Free State (UFS). After making the case for the move towards more authentic, alternative assessment techniques, the authors embark on a discussion of the main features of the PWT, as well as guidelines for drafting a PWT assessment. The focus then shifts to an overview of PWT implementation in other postgraduate modules, ending with a discussion of the authors’ experience introducing the PWT in their own teaching. Useful information about the authors’ approach is shared, including examples of formative assessment exercises used as part of the PWT, specifics regarding the portfolio of evidence of learning to be handed in, and an outline of the four “patches” making up the assessment. It is concluded that the PWT has proven to be a viable tool for assessing postgraduate students in certain law modules at the UFS. It has managed to promote deep learning, develop students into critical thinkers and problem-solvers, and compel them to continuously engage with the study material – all while achieving the intended learning outcomes. The PWT is therefore recommended to lecturers who seek to equip students with a macro-vision of their field of study, the ability to integrate and contextualise different areas of the discipline, and the skill to reflect critically on new, emerging developments in the field.
The IAAF Rules on Testosterone Levels and the Right to Health
Authors: Mphidi Tebogo M , Lubaale Emma Charlene
Published: December 2020

The International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) regulates the participation of athletes, both male and female, at an international level (see IAAF website https://www.iaaf.org/home). Therefore, it has the mandate to develop criteria for the administration of athletic competitions. In pursuance of this role, in 2018, the IAAF rolled out the Eligibility Regulations for Female Classifications – Athletes with Differences in Sex Development (2018). The IAAF states that the Rules are intended to ensure that females are given the same opportunities in terms of competing in races (International Association of Athletics Federations, 2018 Eligibility Regulations for Female Classification – Athletes with Differences in Sexual Development for events from 400 metres to the mile, including 400 metres, hurdles races, 800 metres, 1500 metres, one mile races and combined events over the same distances, 26 April 2018 - the 2018 Regulations). According to these Regulations, for Relevant Athletes to be eligible to compete internationally in the 400 metres, 800 metres, and 1500 metres races, their testosterone levels have to be under 5 nanomoles (nml) per litre. Importantly, “Relevant Athletes” who are females and belong to a specific list of DSD conditions all happen to be XY. These athletes are to reduce their testosterone levels to 5 nml/L for at least six months and thereafter to maintain it at that level for as long as they wish to participate in these races (the 2018 Regulations). They are therefore being asked to lower their testosterone levels to help ensure a level playing ground based on the debatable assumption that testosterone levels impact on athletic performance. These rules were rolled out against the backdrop of existing standards on human rights demanding, among other things, that the rights of all people are respected. That would include athletes. One such right is the right to health.
Yaşlı nüfusun COVID-19 salgınına ilişkin görüşleri: Giresun ili örneği

Published: December 2020

Bu çalışma, COVID-19 salgın sürecinde Giresun ilinde yaşayan yaşlı bireylerin salgın sürecini nasıl değerlendirdikleri ve bu sürecin yaşlılar üzerindeki etkileri ile ilgili görüşlerini belirlemek amacıyla planlanmıştır. Bu amaçla 11 kadın, 9 erkek toplam 20 katılımcıya yarı yapılandırılmış sorulardan oluşan mülakat uygulanmıştır. Çalışmanın potansiyel katılımcı örneklemi; cinsiyet, medeni durum, sağlık durumu, sosyo-ekonomik durum, eğitim düzeyi gibi farklı özellikler dikkate alınarak seçilmiştir. Katılımcılar 65 ile 93 yaş aralığındadır. Nitel araştırma desenlerinden fenomenolojik yaklaşımla hazırlanan çalışmada elde edilen bulgular betimsel analiz yöntemi ile çözümlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada COVID-19 algısı, salgınla başa çıkmada etkili olan faktörler, COVID-19’un yaşlılar üzerindeki etkileri (psikolojik etkiler, sosyal ve kültürel etkiler, ekonomik etkiler), değişen günlük yaşam pratiğinde geliştirilen stratejiler ve coğrafi çevrenin etkilerine odaklanılmıştır. Türkiye nüfusundaki yaşlı oranı (% 9,1) sürekli artış göstermektedir. Bu nedenle çalışmanın, yaşlı nüfusa yönelik hizmetlerin planlanması noktasında katkı sunacağı kanaatini taşımaktayız. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Giresun’un küçük ölçekli bir şehir olması ve ikili yaşamın (kır ve şehir yaşamı) varlığının bu süreçte olumlu etki yarattığı sonucu dikkat çekmiştir. Özellikle bahçeli evler, kırsal yaşam ile bağlantı ve geniş aile yapısında bulunan katılımcıların salgındaki günlük yaşamlarında büyük değişiklik olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Salgınla ilgili yaklaşım ve başa çıkma stratejisinde dini inanç ve kader anlayışının da önemli olduğu görülmüştür. Bu süreçte toplumsal cinsiyet rollerinin devam ettiği, erkek katılımcıların daha çok kamusal alanda yer aldıkları, kadınların ise temizlik ve hijyen gibi ev işlerini yürüttükleri tespit edilmiştir. Ekonomik olarak dezavantajlı yaşlıların bu süreci daha zor geçirdikleri ve yalnız yaşayan bazı katılımcıların gönülsüz olarak çocuklarının yanına gittikleri belirlenmiştir. Araştırmanın başlangıç aşamasında, salgın sürecinin yönetimine ilişkin, katılımcıların yaklaşımları nispeten olumlu olarak görülmüştür. Ancak 65 yaş ve üstü nüfus için sokağa çıkma kısıtlamasının başlatılması ve serbest gün uygulamasının zamanlaması ve içeriği, katılımcılarda olumsuz duyguların yoğunlaşmasına zemin hazırlamıştır. Bu nedenle salgın sürecindeki kısıtlamaların, kronolojik yaşa göre değil; sağlık durumları, yaşanılan yerin doğal-kültürel yapısı ve mekânsal özellikleri dikkate alınarak yerel önlemlerin daha faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Günümüzde nüfusun artış hızı sınırlı kaynaklar üzerindeki baskıyı arttırmış, doğal ve sosyal çevrelerin kalitesini de değiştirmiştir. Küresel turizm sisteminin gelişimi küresel kaynak kullanımını doğurmuştur. COVID-19 salgını gezegensel zaman ve mekân sıkıştırmasının bir sonucudur. Küresel olarak sürdürülebilirlik yönünde sistemsel anlamlı değişim olmaması sonucunda zoonoz salgınlarla karşı karşıya kalınmıştır. Küreselleşme süreçlerinin hem olumlu hem de olumsuz etkilerinin ayrılmaz bir parçası olan seyahat ve turizm endüstrisinin COVID- 19 salgınından etkilenme düzeyi yüksek olmuştur. Bu makalede Covid-19 salgını öncesi turizmin küresel yapısına ve salgının turizm üzerindeki etkilerine kısaca bakılarak, salgın sonrasında turizmin beklenen dönüşümüne ilişkin çerçeve oluşturulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu makale kaleme alındığı sırada Türkiye’ye yönelik turist akışına ilişkin veriler yayımlanmadığı için salgın sürecinde iç turizm hareketliliğinden yola çıkılarak salgın ve sağlık turizminin geleceğine ilişkin öngörüler paylaşılmıştır. Son olarak da turizmin dönüşüm sürecinde Türkiye’nin konumlandırılmasına ilişkin öneriler sunulmuştur.
BİRİNCİ DÜNYA SAVAŞI DÖNEMİNDE YAYINLANAN TÜRK ROMANLARININ TEMATİK HARİTASI
Authors: YILMAZ Nusret
Published: December 2020

İnsanın öznesi olduğu toplumsal olaylarla ilgilenme ve onları yazıya geçirme deneyimi olarak tarihle roman benzer ilgilere sahiptir. Tarihin ilk çağlardan beri önemli olay ve kişilerin hikâyeleri olarak kurgulanması bu iki yazma edimini yakın tutmuştur. İngiliz dilinde aynı kökten gelen “history”nin (tarih) “story” (hikâye) sözcükleri, bu yakınlığın somut bir göstergesidir. İnsanların bireysel ve toplumsal yaşam biçimlerinin, tarihsel süreçte girdiği mücadelelerin, onu var kılan bütün eylemlerinin kayda geçirilmesi ve kolektif belleğin somut kanıtları olarak sonraki kuşaklara iletilmek istenmesi, tarih ile edebiyat dünyasını ortaklaşmaya mecbur bırakmıştır. Türk tarihinin en önemli sosyopolitik deneyimlerinden biri olan Birinci Dünya Savaşı’nın bu bağlamda tarihsel olduğu kadar yazınsal bir ilgiyi hak ettiği kuşkusuzdur. Bu çalışma, toplumsal tarihimizi etkileyen ve Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun yerini Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’ne bırakacağı koşulları yaratan savaşın dönem yazarları tarafından nasıl görüldüğünün tespitine yöneliktir. Bireysel, toplumsal ve siyasal temalar üzerinden yapılan yakın okumalarla savaş yıllarında eser veren yazarların romanları incelenmiştir. Bu dönem romanlarının, edebiyatın toplumla ilişkisine inanan okuyucuları hayal kırıklığına uğratma potansiyeli vardır; zira -okunan yirmi dokuz romandan hareketle- savaş yıllarında yazılmış eserlerde söz konusu savaştan hiç bahsedilmemiştir. Toplumları derinden etkileyen olayların aynı süreçte hemen edebiyata ve özellikle romana yansımaması makul karşılansa bile hiçbir roman kahramanının bu savaştan bahsetmemesi ve yazarların daha ziyade Servet-i Fünûn dönemi temalarıyla ilgilenmeleri hayli ilginçtir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, romanların tematik düzleminde bu ilginç durumun muhtemel nedenlerini irdelemektir.

Published: December 2020

Phytohormones are essential signaling molecules in multiple plant processes, including growth, development, and stress response. Simultaneous quantification of multiple plant hormones is required for understanding plant physiology because hormones typically change in tandem in response to external stimuli. Sensitive and quantitative analysis using liquid chromatography linked mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) adopts stable isotope-labeled compounds in previously published works. However, quantifying hormones when isotopically labeled chemicals are not available remain to be established. This protocol is used for measuring plant hormone content by standard addition method. Standard addition method has been used for quantification of various compounds such as drugs and pesticides especially when it is difficult to obtain stable isotope-labeled compound. Plant hormones is extracted from plant material such as Lotus japonicus with organic solvent and partially purified with reversed phase solid phase extraction and ready for LC-MS analysis. Calibration curve is constructed by spiking pure standard in the matrix. The method allows us to quantify plant hormones in plant tissue of interest by correcting matrix effects.

A exposição a fatores de risco para perda auditiva induzida por ruído (PAIR) é uma realidade atual, especialmente entre os jovens que fazem uso abusivo dos fones de ouvido. Diante disso, este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a prevalência e os fatores de risco associados a perda auditiva consequente ao uso de fones de ouvido em adultos através do teste de emissão otoacústicas transientes (EOATE), bem como avaliar a eficácia desse exame na triagem da PAIR. Tratou-se de um estudo transversal e quantitativo com amostragem probabilística, que avaliou 331 estudantes de uma universidade de Sergipe, de janeiro-maio de 2019, a partir da aplicação de questionário e realização do teste. A amostra teve predominância do sexo feminino (51,7%) e idade entre 18-22 anos (68%). A maioria faz uso de fones há mais de 5 anos (82,2%), em médio volume (51,4%), por 7 dias da semana (30,5%), durante 1-2 horas/dia (39%) e a principal queixa dos usuários foi o zumbido (13,6%). Tabagismo e etilismo se mostraram como fatores de risco. O estudo mostrou que o teste das EOATE não é eficaz para triagem de PAIR em adultos jovens usuários de fones de ouvido.

During the last two decades, a lot of ink has been spent in favour of narrative analysis of policy. According to such approaches, policy processes are influenced by narratives that are spread around specific ‘issues’ and lead to their solutions. Following a similar vein, this article examines territorial cohesion as a policy narrative and how it can be perceived as a narrative constituted by a diverse narrative structure. Territorial cohesion is a dynamic narrative that changes through time. As time goes by and different politico-economic philosophies get more influential, technological changes also bring along different priorities, broader EU narratives change, and territorial cohesion adapts to such changes. Accordingly, within the post-2014 framework (2014–2020), territorial cohesion’s (spatialised) social inclusion perspective was subdued to the economic competitiveness sub-narrative in a globalised world. For the new programming period (2021–2027), the European Cohesion Policy will continue to be increasingly linked to the place-based narrative and most of its funding will be directed towards a ‘smarter’ and ‘greener’ Europe within a global space of flows and fast technological changes. The aim of a ‘smarter’ Europe based on digital transformation and smart growth is a new version of the economic competitiveness sub-narrative, while a ‘greener’ Europe is the new policy meta-imperative (“European Green Deal”). However, it must be considered how the Coronavirus crisis and the measures to fight its economic effects play out on these policy narratives.
FORGOTTEN NAMES OF POLISH LITERATURE – KAZIMEZH TRUKHANOVSKY
Authors: Hajder T.
Published: December 2020

Polish literature is one of the leading positions not only in the Slavic world, but also well-presented at the global level. The article is devoted to the Polish writer of the middle of the twentieth century, whose name is unknown to the Ukrainian narratee, but his works are extremely interesting. The reasons why some writers do not fall into the field of wide-ranging research are different. In the case of the Kazimierz Trukhanovsky’s works, this is an insufficient research of the Polish literary criticism, the researchers are writing about it only now. Returning the names of interesting writers and attracting attention to their works is an actual and interesting task.The creative legacy of K. Trukhanovsky is quite extensive – it’s a romance cycle, story and short stories, individual novels. Philosophy, reflection and utopia are the most extensive characteristics of the writer’s works. The imagery and aesthetic background of the novels become clearer if we attract the work of artists, whose leading motive of creativity was the hell and the wandering of human souls in the search of divine light. The writer applied to mythologization and the magic properties of time-space measurements in the novel. Mythological and literary traditions are superimposed, as a result of which the author creates a complicated model of a labyrinthine novel.
IRONY AND FANTASY
Authors: Ajdačić D.
Published: December 2020

The absence of a typology of irony in the theory of fiction stems from the fact that irony and fiction differently form and transform reality – fiction is a kind of fictional depiction of amazing worlds or phenomena. On the contrary, irony does not create worlds; in it, the subject comments on reality, adding another vision, a vision with a reassessment and deviation from what is said or presented. Irony can comment on the realities of different ontological status, that is, irony can relate to the real world and the fictional world, whether it is real or amazing. Fantasy transforms the world – it distorts, destroys or completes, or builds new worlds, and irony already adds a different vision to the ideas and views presented, regardless of whether they are real or fictional. The terminological and literary-theoretical aspects of the use of irony in works of literary fiction are discussed in the text. Dragan Stojanović’s book “Irony and Meaning” and the author’s terms “Ironical Focus” and “Meaning Pressure” are used as a theoretical starting point. After highlighting the touchpoints of irony and fiction and their special qualities and roles, is proposed a typology of the use of irony in fiction that separates ironic actions concerning the real world, the marvelous world and problematizing the relationship between the real and the marvelous world.

The objective of this study was to examine the level of member satisfaction and its influencing factors in the Organic Hazelnut Agricultural Producer Union (OHAPU) of the Samsun Province. The data of this study was collected through surveys from 92 members in the Samsun Province using the Simple Random Sampling Method. The factors affecting the levels of the members’ satisfaction were analyzed by the Ordered Probit Model. The research results showed that while 52% of the members were highly satisfied with the union, 30% and 18% of the members were satisfied at moderate and low levels, respectively. The empirical model results showed also that while the variables of the education level of the member, marketing hazelnut through the unions, participation in education, the member’s commitment to the union and the trust level of the member in other members had statistically positive effects on the satisfaction level of the members towards the union, the variables of gender and frequency of visits to the union had statistically negative effects. Therefore, the union’s taking a more active role in marketing of the hazelnut of the members, increasing the participation of the members to training programs, encouraging more women to become a member of the union, increasing the members’ trust in and commitment to their unions could increase the members’ satisfaction to their union.

Different studies even on same shrimp species and same heavy metals from same locations may be inconsistent with each other. Because of their important on a food safety risk, therefore, a meta-analysis is required to evaluate the true risk level to human consumption for these aquatic organisms. In this study, commercially important two shrimp species, Penaeus semisulcatus (de Hann, 1844) and Metapenaeus monoceros (Fabricius, 1798), from İskenderun Bay were considered in a meta-analysis for their some heavy metal content (Cadmium-Cd, Zinc-Zn, Lead-Pb, and Copper-Cu). Meta-analysis results (mean±Sd) were evaluated according to the reference values that are maximum permissible limit (dry-wet, mg/kg) for shrimp as follow; Cd (1 mg/kg), Zn (50 mg/kg), Pb (2 mg/kg) and Cu (20 mg/kg). For Cd, M. monoceros (0.93±0.02 mg/kg) was not exceeded the reference limit (p>0.05), while, P. semisulcatus (3.93±0.12 mg/kg) was exceeded (p

In this study, an evaluation of the protective effect of lyophilized ethanolic Achillea arabica Kotschy. extract was investigated on the islets of Langerhans in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats. The rats were divided randomly into 5 groups: Group I: control; Group II: rats treated with STZ (50 mg kg-1 body weight (bw)); Group III: rats treated with A. arabica (Aa) extract (400 mg kg-1 bw); Group IV: rats with DM treated with Aa extract; and Group V: rats with DM treated with glibenclamide (2 mg kg-1 bw) which is a standard drug used in the treatment of DM. STZ treatment caused histopathological changes in the islet and significantly lowered the islet diameter/area, -cell index values, and blood insulin and C-peptide levels. Administration of the extract of Aa improved the islet histology, diameter/area, and -cell index values, and caused significant increases in insulin and C-peptide levels similar to the rats treated with glibenclamide when compared to the diabetic rats. Our findings suggested that the Aa extract possessed protective potential on the pancreatic islets due to its repairing or regeneration impact on -cells.

The Alyssum L. genus which is spread in the Eastern Mediterranean is known by the public as ‘Rabid weed’ or ‘Kevke’. Many of these species are seen as a way to prevent disasters such as erosion, both due to drought resistance and low soil selectivity. Also Alyssum known as ‘Tooth weed’, it has been used to reduce tooth sore, bladder stones and spasm. In this study, in order to examine antibacterial and antifungal activities, extracts obtained from three naturally growing plants (Alyssum caricum T.R.Dudley and Hub.-Mor., Alyssum discolor T.R.Dudley and Hub.-Mor. and Alyssum sibiricum Willd.) in Turkey were examined on seventeen bacteria and two fungal strains by disc diffusion method. In addition, antimicrobial activity was supported by the Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) method. DPPH (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrilhydrazyl) method was used to investigate the antioxidant activities of plant extracts, and crystal violet binding method was used to prevent biofilm formation. As a result, A. caricum ethanol extract showed the best effects in antimicrobial activities. None of plants were effective against fungi. A. sibiricum shows the best activity in antibiofilm activity and A. caricum was showed the best result in antioxidant activity.

Толстая кишка демонстрирует самую высокую бактериальную плотность и разнообразие на протяжении всего желудочно-кишечного тракта, что может указывать на важную роль пристеночного микробиома в патогенезе колоректального рака (КРР). Механизмы, лежащие в основе канцерогенеза, остаются важным и не изученым предметом обсуждения в области биологии рака. Исследования данной группы пациентов группы и экспериментальные данные на лабораторных животных связали дисбиоз кишечника с конкретными видами бактерий, которые способствуют онкогенезу. Необходимы дальнейшие фундаментальные исследования для анализа механизмов и роли микроорганизмов в колоректального рака, которые могут быть использованы в терапевтических и прогностических целях.

Цель данного обзора является обобщение литературных и экспериментальных данных о том, что дисбиоз толстой кишки является важным прогностическим критерием в развитии опухолей толстой кишки.
