Authors: Gorbachev A. L. , Lugovaya Elena A. , Stepanova E. M.
Published: November 2019

To determine age-relatedpeculiarities of trace element system in oldpeople, residing in different natural and geographical regions, the content of 25 trace elements in hair samples of women from Arkhangelsk (average age is 87,0±0,98 years) and Magadan (average age is 80,1±1,25 years) was determined by spectrometric methods. In both groups there was established element misbalance characterized by lower concentration of such essential elements as Ca, Mg, Co, Cu and higher concentration of Na. The excess of K and Zn is more expressed in hair of female residents of Arkhangelsk in comparison with the city of Magadan there was revealed significantly more higher content of aluminum, boron, silicon, in the city of Magadan there are significantly higher concentrations of selenium and tin. According to the frequency of occurrence the excess of elements in the body of residents of the city of Arkhangelsk is comparable to that of residents of the city of Magadan, but has its own features. In Arkhangelsk there is more pronounced the excess ofpotassium, there was found high content of zinc, whereas in the city of Magadan there was revealed an excess of manganese and arsenic. Square of the figure, reflecting the deficiency of elements in female residents of the city of Magadan is more than in the city of Arkhangelsk, which is manifested by larger deficiency of chromium, zinc, iron. Identified regional differences in the content of macro- and microelements are related to biogeochemical and ecological features of the regions, which can determine the specifics of the aging diseases and time of their occurrence.

Published: November 2019

There was developed a liquid storage medium for the isolation of bacteria of genus Salmonella from water bodies (The culture medium for the accumulation of Salmonella, ready to use, “RNS”), providing the accumulation of Salmonella from different serogroups, inhibiting the growth of accompanying microflora, allowing to obtain objective information about the extent of bacterial contamination of water bodies. Medium is by nature of a solution for microbiological purposes which is produced by mixing the components with consequentfiltration and sterilization. In an experimental way there were chosen optimal ratios of the nutrient medium ingredients: extract offodder yeast in an amount of 4.55.0 g/l, sodium hydroxide - to 1.3-1.4 g/l, potassium phosphate - 8.6-8.8 g/l. The medium is a sterile, clear liquid, green in color, medium pH is 6.4 to 6.8, amine nitrogen - from 0.05 to 0.1%. Designed medium for accumulation is sensitivity, it ensures the growth of the test strains of salmonella at seeding of single cells in that favorably differs from similar media used in public health practice at the present time. The smallest time for the accumulation of biomass of Salmonella accounts of 6 hours, the optimal time is 24 hours. Incubation of crops is produced at 37 °C. Cultures of Salmonella at seeding in the developed medium retain their biological properties. Developed medium in terms of sensitivity is superior to magnesian and selenite media.
The content of petroleum products, benzo(a)pyrene and heavy metals in soils of yamalnenets autonomous district and heavy metals in the hair of children

Published: November 2019

The paper presents information about the content of benzo(a)pyrene in soil samples of petroleum products and the content of heavy metals (iron, copper, lead, arsenic, manganese, chromium, cadmium and mercury) in the soil and hair samples of children. Soil samples and hair were taken in October 2014 in the north-western part of the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous District. The values obtained were compared with the approximately permissible levels and maximum allowable concentrations adopted in the Russian Federation. Levels are determined compounds in the soil in general do not exceed the allowable concentrations. In hair samples there was noted marked exceeding of the recommended values for zinc, copper, chromium and iron 10%, 16.7%, 83.3% and 100% samples, respectively. The cause of the high iron content in the hair samples may be due to the quality of consumed water, which is characterized by low mineralization and high iron content. Increased chromium content of more than 80% of the hair samples can be caused, as in the case of iron, the quality of water consumed, but also a high proportion of local foods in the diet of people, rich by chromium. A conducted study on the state of the environment in the village, away from areas of hydrocarbon production, indicates to the low importance of anthropogenic impact.

Stress as an occupational risk factor among policemen of road patrol service
Authors: Fedotova Irina V. , Chernikova E. F.
Published: November 2019

The hygienic evaluation of occupational factors which characterized working conditions of traffic policemen of road patrol service was performed. The authors found that along with high neuro-emotional occupational stress in traffic policemen, they exposed to unfavorable microclimate, higher level of noise, vibration and their work was classified as heavy. Also, traffic policemen presented subjective complaints about negative impact of polluted air of motorways on their health status. Prevalence of chronic diseases was analyzed in group of 431 traffic policemen. The authors revealed a leading role of the following diseases: musculoskeletal diseases, diseases of connective tissue, digestive diseases, diseases of the nerve system, circulation system; their portion in the morbidity structure was 86.0%. The association of these diseases with occupation was confirmed by the increasing of their incidence with increasing of length of duration of service. Calculation of indices of relative occupational risk showed (that especially important) the increase of the length of service led to the increase in the risk ofpathologies, in which stress played a significant role. In examined group, the authors revealed such diseases as hypertension, autonomous-vascular dystonia, gastric and duodenal ulcer. Risk of the development of these diseases in some age/length of service groups is classified as high and very high. Obtained results provide the evidence that measures aimed to the decrease of the exposure to occupational factors will promote prevention of stress-stipulated diseases among traffic policemen.

Published: November 2019

The assessment of renal functions of the adult population of Atyrau (West Kazakhstan) exposed to Atyrau oil refinery and other industrial objects (enterprises in the city), as well as employees of this refinery has been performed by virtue of the identification ofpathological changes in the urine with the use ofphotometric screening, determination of serum levels of creatinine, urea, uric acid and the calculation of glomerular filtration rate. There were obtained evident data testifying to the development of statistically significant exertion of renal function in residents of this city as compared with those of control area residents. There was revealed a statistically significant decrease in the relative density of urine in in 42% of the population, leucocyturia - in 20%, erythrocyturia - in 25%. Decreased glomerularfiltration rate was noted in these people. A statistically significant elevation of the level of uric acid in the blood in combination with an acidic reaction and sharply acidic urine reaction indicates to the possibility of the development of urate urolithiasis which is confirmed by cases of discharge of stones in the urine in 20% of the population according to data of previously executed questionnaire survey. The above mentioned changes in the functional renal reserve and hyperuricemia are equally often found among the residents of the city - Atyrau refinery workers, and the rest of the city people as well. The results of the study allow to recommend the screening ofurine with quantitative registration ofpathological changes as a mean of the most optimal objective methods for early detection of renal dysfunction in population exposed to nephrotoxic impact of environmental techno-genic pollutants.

Authors: Ivanov Viktor Yu.
Published: November 2019

The purpose of the research is to study the gender aspects of the employment of adolescents, working in the time free from their study, and its impact on the livestyle and health, to assess the risks to health of students. There was studied the employment of senior pupils and students of vocational schools (1.2 thousand persons at the age from 14 till 18 years) in 5 regions of the Russian Federation. The results indicate to a prevalence of illegal employment of the minors. Among young men 62% work part time, among young women - 37%. Violations of hygienic requirements for working conditions and labor law violations are more common in young men employment. The first experience of work can render negative impact on the lifestyle and the state of health. In the working adolescents there is observed the higher prevalence of the behavioral risk factors (smoking, alcohol, drugs, sleep deprivation and others). Adolescents with work experience have lower health status. The analysis of odds ratio (OR), relative risk (RR), etiological fraction (EF) showed that to the higher health risk there are exposed teenagers working constantly throughout the year. In this group among girls there is a high prevalence of chronic diseases (RR = 2; OR = 3.9), of complaints of indigestion (RR = 2; OR = 2.5). In the group of young men, working continuously, the percentage of frequently ill with acute respiratory infections is higher (RR = 3.3; OR = 3.7), there is a higher number of complaints of heartburn (RR = 2.1; OR = 2.6), back pain (RR = 1.8; OR = 2.2). Working young men have higher health risk by comparison with working young women.

For the first time the impact of odorous emissions from the enterprise for the production of chewing gum on the cytogenetic status of children, residing in the distance of 0,9 and 6 km, was studied. Specific weak mint and fruity odour in the air in the placement of the enterprise may be related to the presence of menthol, menthone, pinene, limonene, ethyl acetate and other compounds containing in the emissions. There were no differences in cytogenetic status of children in both groups (by frequency of micronuclei, protrusions, binucleated cells, apoptosis).
A study in the experimental conditions of pesticide action on microorganisms characterizing sanitary-epidemiological safety of reservoirs
Authors: Aleshnya V. V. , Zhuravlev Peter V. , Panasovets O. P.
Published: November 2019

The paper presents experimental data on the pesticides action (molinate (OrdramA), Dinitroortocresolum and chlorophos) at concentrations of 0.01 mg /l to 10 mg/l on sanitary-indicative (TBC, total coliform bacteria, E. coli, E. faecalis), potentially pathogenic ( Ps. aeruginosa) and pathogenic (S. Derby) microflora of the river water. As the test cultures there were used isolated from the reservoir and museum strains of microorganisms. Due to the fact that the rate of decomposition ofpesticides in water increases in direct proportion to the extent of its biological contamination, the experiments were performed with the river water: native and sterilized by autoclaving. There were identified species and strain differences in the microbial response to the action of pesticides. The selectivity of OrdramA action at a concentration of 0.1 to 10 mg/l on Salmonella and of chlorophos at a concentration of 10 mg/l for Salmonella and E. coli is manifested in the stimulation of the reproduction of these bacteria. Dinitroortocresolum in concentrations of 10 mg/l and 1 mg/l gives rise in the reproduction of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and inhibits the growth of total coliform bacteria and E. coli, in a concentration of 0.1 mg/l the preparation stimulates the viability of all the studied microorganisms. When entering the body of water, pesticides were found to cause changes of biocenosis in the river water and disturb bacterial self-cleaning processes. In conditions of pesticide pollution total coliform bacteria, E. coli and E. faecalis unable to maintain their indicative value and therefore the use of only them for the evaluation of the sanitary-epidemiological status of the water source appears to be insufficient. Due to the fact that the epidemic potential of water is directly dependent on quantitative content ofpathogenic and opportunistic pathogenic microorganisms in it, the reproduction Salmonella and Pseudomonas bacteria is a negative moment from the sanitary and epidemiological point of view.

Desde a implantação da Lei 10.639/03, que instituiu a obrigatoriedade do ensino da história e culturas africanas e afro-brasileiras, a produção e reelaboração do conhecimento histórico no âmbito acadêmico e escolar têm sido constantes. O presente artigo almeja compartilhar experiências pedagógicas produzidas em sala de aula sobre a temática e, igualmente, lançar luz sobreo processo de implantação da lei que tem permitido problematizar – graças à atuação dos movimentos negros e antirracistas – o caráter eurocêntrico do ensino de história em nosso país.
Os historiadores e seus públicos: regimes historiográficos, recepção da história e história pública
Authors: Nicolazzi Fernando
Published: November 2019

O artigo discute a relação mantida entre os historiadores e seus públicos a partir da consideração do ato de leitura da história como paradigma da recepção da história. Inicia com a discussão teórica do conceito de regimes historiográficos, considerando-o válido para se estudar a recepção dos textos e demais obras elaboradas pelos historiadores. Em seguida, a noção de operação historiográfica de Michel de Certeau é problematizada, uma vez que desconsidera o papel constitutivo da recepção da história na definição da legitimidade do conhecimento histórico. Finalmente, sugere-se que o pleno entendimento do lugar social e epistemológico ocupado pela historiografia e pelos historiadores e historiadoras no espaço público deve compreender as formas como a história é recebida, e, portanto, apropriada, em diferentes regimes historiográficos.

Silicon carbide (SiC) is a next-generation semiconductor material. However, SiC is difficult to machine because it has high mechanical hardness and chemical inertness. Therefore, high-quality processing technology with high efficiency is now required. In our previous study, the authors developed UV-assisted grinding method and clarified that the critical depth of cut is expanded by UV irradiation and that the surface roughness is reduced by applying this method with a composite-abrasive wheel containing diamond abrasive grains with a mean abrasive diameter of 6 μm. On the other hand, it is important to reduce the damaged layer left by lapping or polishing process after grinding. In this study, we developed UV-assisted constant-pressure grinding method as a new alterative processing method to lapping and polishing. In this method, UV-assisted grinding is applied to the constant-pressure grinding method. To obtain a higher-quality mirror surface, we used a superabrasive wheel containing diamond abrasive grains with a mean abrasive diameter of 0.5 μm. By investigating the influence of UV irradiation on processing characteristics, we clarified that the surface roughness and removal height were reduced by UV irradiation. Finally, a high quality surface with few grinding marks was obtained by UV-assisted constant-pressure grinding.

Ring-shaped SiC ceramics used in sliding components were examined herein. Conventional lapping generates many shallow scratches in random directions in the surface of such SiC ceramics, and these starches extend from the inner circumference of the surface to its perimeter. The scratches affect the ability of the surface to prevent liquid from escaping from the perimeter side to the inner-circumference side of the SiC ring, and they can increase the friction force of the finished surface as a sliding material. We propose concentric mutual lapping to remove the scratches caused by conventional lapping. The surface topography of a SiC ring is evaluated quantitatively using a white light interferometer, and a vector and quantitative analysis of the surface profile is proposed. The results show that concentric mutual lapping can quickly remove the scratches caused by conventional lapping, and subsequently, circumferential scratches are generated along the lapping direction. We have also conducted sliding tests to analyze the effect of surface topography on the surface function as a sliding material. The results reveal that concentric mutual lapping suppresses the differences in surface function that occurred depending on the sliding direction.

Cuando se escucha la palabra chat, es muy probableque se la relacione con la tecnología, con la telefonía móvily con los estudiantes. Sin embargo, es un tipo de comunicaciónentre las personas, especialmente los jóvenes. Hatomado importancia, ya que es el medio por el cual losestudiantes expresan cada día sus actividades y sus quehaceresacadémicos. Es así como en los últimos años seha tomado como referencia de investigación los aspectosmorfológicos, sintácticos y hasta semánticos de este tipode lenguaje, es decir, la influencia del lenguaje del chat enla escritura de los estudiantes cada día es mayor. A vecesse le otorga la responsabilidad a la tecnología de por quéexisten tantos cambios en la manera de escribir; tambiénse le responsabiliza al mismo estudiante por su carenciade competencia lingüística en la normativa de la lenguaespañola. No obstante, se debe contar con apoyo de losespecialistas para que se pueda aprovechar este lenguajenovedoso en el aprendizaje de los jóvenes y no fatalizar nilimitar la forma creativa de su expresión lingüística. Si bienexiste una relevante influencia del uso del lenguaje chaten la escritura formal de los jóvenes estudiantes, ello nosignifica que se deba erradicar, ya que en los últimos añosse ha considerado como una motivación para su desarrolloen las relaciones sociales. Además, los jóvenes debenser conscientes de la importancia del lenguaje formal y las diversas formas comunicativas de acuerdo con el contexto,y así se continuará desarrollando la creatividad lingüísticaen ellos.

Gisèle Sapiro La sociología de la literatura
Authors: Carrillo Jara Daniel
Published: November 2019

Aunque la literatura peruana es considerada como una de las másimportantes en el contexto cultural latinoamericano (diversos poetas ynarradores han ganado sendos premios internacionales, incluyendo elPremio Nobel de Literatura en 2010), es innegable que los estudios literariosen el Perú no han alcanzado el mismo grado de consolidación yreconocimiento. Ya sea por la presencia de escasos centros universitariosenfocados en la enseñanza de la disciplina literaria, la ausencia de centrosde investigación y de financiamientos (privados o estatales), o la falta deproyectos de investigación grupales e interdisciplinarios, la ciencia de laliteratura en el Perú no ha alcanzado los logros teóricos y metodológicosevidentes en otros países. Por ese motivo, el libro de Gisèle Sapiro (discípulade Pierre Bourdieu, y con importantes cargos en el Centre Nationalde la Recherche Scientifique, la École des Hautes Études en Sciences Socialesy el Centre Européen de Sociologie et de Science Politique) resultafundamental para entender un enfoque teórico desarrollado parcialmenteen nuestro país: la sociología de la literatura.

Authors: Ellis Nicola , Bartley Angela , Allen Alexander Nicholas , Clift Michael , Miguel Ronelle , Rodger Alison
Published: November 2019

Background: We aimed to estimate the prevalence of overweight and obese children attending a paediatric outpatient clinic and explore opportunities and barriers for staff to raise the issue of healthy weight families. Methods: A retrospective review of children’s outpatient clinic notes in a hospital in London, UK during one week was undertaken to collate height and weight measurements and calculate (Body-Mass-Index) BMI centile. Qualitative interviews were conducted with staff to explore attitudes and opportunities to discuss weight Results: Of children included (n=236) Two fifths (41.1%, n=97) had height and weight recorded. BMI centile was calculated for 79.4% of those (n=77). A quarter (26% [95% CI: 13-30%], n=20) were overweight (>91st centile) or obese (>98th centile). Nursing staff reported that the period taking height and weight measurements was not a good opportunity to raise the issue of weight, due to lack of time, lack of knowledge of patient’s medical history and not having BMI centile available. Conclusion: Over one in four children attending the paediatric clinic were overweight or obese. Nursing staff need support and training to feel confident to incorporate discussions around healthy weight into their role and to make the most of opportunities to make every contact count.
Competency of Level-4 Health Extension Workers to provide Long Acting Reversible Contraceptives: A task shifting initiative in Ethiopia
Authors: Teklu Alula M. , Yimam Hamid , Medhin Girmay , Tesfay Teklemichael Gebru
Published: November 2019

Background : The Ethiopian health system has been facing challenge to meet the growing desire for family planning service. Shortage of trained service providers at a primary care setting is one of the reasons for unmet need to access Long-Acting Reversible Contraceptives (LARCs). To investigate feasibility of task shifting of providing LARCs, community health extension workers (CHEWs) were trained in four Regions of Ethiopia on how to insert and remove contraceptive of implant and Intrauterine Contraceptive Device (IUCD). Therefore, this study is aimed at assessing the knowledge, attitude and skill of the trained health extension workers to provide LARC. Methods : A cross sectional study was employed from April to May 2017 in four feasibility study regions of Ethiopia, namely; Amhara, Oromia, Tigray, and Southern Nation, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR). Data were collected from 66 health extensions who give the service of 402 IUCD and 793 implants. The collected quantitative data were analyzed using statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 25.0 for window. Results : Nearly two-third (62.7%) of L4HEWs had good level of knowledge of counseling for LARC. Using anatomical model L4HEWs completely performed all steps for around 58.5% Implanon, 30.6% Jadelle and 22% IUCD insertions. Conclusions : With adequate training and supportive supervision, L4HEWs can provide high-quality implant insertions. The IUCD insertion and removal needs careful consideration. Despite the possibility of improving uptake of LARC services by training more L4HEWs, there is a need to improve the skill of IUCD insertion and removal before scale up the intended task sharing.
Substance Use Disorder in the Emergency Department: Approaches to Estimating Prevalence
Authors: Punches Brittany , Hart Kimberly W. , Lindsell Christopher J , Mandler Raul , Delrahim-Howlett Katia , Lyons Michael S
Published: November 2019

Background: Understanding the prevalence of substance use disorder (SUD) in emergency department (ED) settings could facilitate prevention and treatment responses to the epidemic. However, little information is available on the true prevalence of SUD in the ED population. We characterized 1) methods for determining the prevalence of substance use and SUDs within an ED, and 2) the degree to which prevalence differs between geographically proximate EDs. Methods: This cross-sectional, multi-hospital study analyzed data from prior studies and electronic health records (EHR). Our data sources included 1) interviews of a population-based sample of ED patients, 2) chart review for a cohort of ED patients, and 3) ICD-9 codes from an urban, academic trauma center. In addition, ICD-9 codes were obtained for three geographically proximate hospitals of differing type. The sampling methods and ED settings were compared descriptively in terms of their population characteristics and estimated prevalence of SUDs. Results: Prevalence of SUDs at the urban academic center was extremely high, particularly when measured by prospective survey, but also with chart review. Use over the prior year (binge drinking, illicit drug use, or treatment for alcohol or drug use) as determined by self-report and chart review respectively was: 41.9% and 15.2% for alcohol, 36.2% and 21.6% for drugs, and 59.2% and 30.4% for either. Estimates using ICD-9 codes indicated a far lower prevalence of substance use and suggest differences between EDs. Conclusions: SUDs are highly prevalent in ED populations, though significant variability between EDs is likely. SUDs are infrequently coded, suggesting that clinicians may be unaware of SUDs, or that discharge coding is insufficient to understand and respond to SUDs. Feasible and efficacious methods of identification and documentation of SUDs is an urgent priority to aid efforts to facilitate health services planning and quality improvement, and enable pragmatic clinical trials.
Examination of preterm babies for ROP referred to an eye department from an urban and semi-urban neonatal intensive care unit: implications for practice.
Authors: Venkatesh Ramesh , Dave Prachi Abhishek , Gurav Prachi , Agarwal Manisha , Jajoo Mamta , Gupta Vidit
Published: November 2019

Background: To study and analyse the factors affecting the proportion of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) distribution between the urban and semi-urban regions in North India.
Methods: Retrospective, observational, cross-sectional study. All babies referred for ROP examination by paediatricians or other general ophthalmologists between 2013 – 2016 were included in the study. Demographic, clinical and treatment related findings were recorded.
Results: Five hundred and fifty-eight (467: urban & 91: semi urban) babies were examined for ROP. The mean birth weight in the urban and semi-urban setting was 1348.6 ± 395.21 gm and 1703.77 ± 401.76 gm respectively. The mean gestational age was 30.99 ± 2.93 weeks and 30.73 ± 2.08 weeks in the urban and semi-urban cohorts respectively. The average time for first ophthalmic examination following birth was 23.82 ± 13.69 (range: 3-77) days in the urban and 101.16 ± 238.26 (range: 13- 330) days in the semi-urban setting. 94% of the babies completed all screening examination visits. Any ROP was identified in 11.6% and 33.0% of the urban and semi-urban cohorts respectively; Type 1 was detected in 7.5% of urban babies and 23.1% of semi-urban babies
Conclusion: Differences in the proportion of babies developing any ROP and Type 1 ROP between the semi-urban and urban groups is likely due to selection bias, as a high proportion of semi-urban babies did not attend for examination or failed to complete all the examinations necessary.

Araştırmada Kars ili merkezinden toplanan 13 adet subadult erkek kör fare Nannospalax nehringi (Satunin, 1898) (Rodentia: Spalacidae) (2n=50) mandibula’sı kullanıldı. Öncelikle mandibula’lar üzerindeki deri ve kaba etler uzaklaştırıldı. Daha sonra mandibula’lar kontrollü bir şekilde suda kaynatılarak maserasyon işlemine tabi tutulup temizlendi. Ardından dijital kumpas (0.01, BTS, Eng) ile mandibula’lardan ölçüler alındı. Elde edilen ölçülerin ortalama, standart sapma ve pearson korelasyon testi SPSS (20.0) paket programı yardımıyla yürütüldü. Mandibul’a üzerindeki noktaların belirlenmesinde Driesch AVD 1976 esas alındı. Maserasyon işlemi sonunda mandibula’ların symphysis mandibula’dan ayrılmadığı ve mandibula’lar üzerinde inciciv ve molar dişlerin varlığı görüldü. I ve II numaralı inciciv dişlerin radix dentisleri alveoli dentalesler içerisinde caudal yöne doğru ‘’C’’ harfi şeklinde kıvrım yaptığı görüldü. Mandibula’nın proc. coronoideus, proc. condylaris, proc. alveolaris ve proc. angularis olmak üzere 4 adet processus’a sahip olduğu görüldü. Mandibula’nın belirgin bir foramen mentale’ye sahip olduğu tespit edildi. Foramen mandibula’nın for. mentaleye nazaran daha geniş ve belirgin olduğu görüldü. Yapılan istatistiksel analiz sonucunda en büyük uzunluğun infradentale ile proc. alveolaris arasında olduğu görüldü(U11). Sol taraf korelasyon analizine göre sırasıyla (U1/U8), (U6/U5), (U11/U13) uzunlukları arasında pozitif yönde güçlü korelasyonun olduğu saptandı. Benzer şekilde sağ taraf korelasyon analizinde ise (U6/U5) ve (U11/U13) uzunlukları arasında pozitif güçlü korelasyon olduğu görüldü.

Published: November 2019

Bu çalışmada oda sıcaklığında cam altlık üzerine SILAR tekniği ile büyütülen CdO ince filmlere pH etkisi araştırıldı. Elde edilen ince filmlerin yapısal, morfolojik ve optik özellikleri sırasıyla X-ışını difraksiyonu (XRD), taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM) ve UV vis spektrofotometre ölçümleri alınarak incelendi. XRD sonuçları, ince filmlerin pH 11.5 ve daha yüksek değerlerde farklı açı ve düzlemlere yönelim sergilediğini gösterdi. SEM görüntüleri, filmlerin yüzey morfolojisinin pH değeri değişimi ile önemli derecede değiştiğini gösterdi. Yapılan optik soğurma ölçümleri ise pH yükselmesine bağlı olarak band aralığının arttığını gösterdi.
Population Dynamics of Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) [Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae] With Different Traps Types in Open Areas of Şanlıurfa Province, Turkey

Tomato is an important crop in Turkey, which is grown in greenhouses as well as in open fields. Tomato leafminer [Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917)] is a serious pest of tomato production in the country. The residues of greenhouse tomato are thrown in nearby fields, which could result in significant populations of the pest. However, limited work has been done to assess the population dynamics of the pest in the fields adjacent to greenhouse or open field tomato production areas in Turkey. Therefore, the current study was conducted to determine the population dynamics of the pest in open fields near tomato production areas in Şanlıurfa province, Turkey during 2014-2015. Three different trap types (delta, water + pheromone and ferolite) were established in three different fields in the Harran plain of the province. The traps were established during the month of May and monitoring was continued until January. The pest population was monitored weekly during the whole study period. The population density of the pest reached to the highest level during September, and a continuous decline was noted afterward. The highest average number of adults trapped by ferolite traps were 278 adult week -1, whereas delta traps caught the lowest number of the adults (60 adult week -1). The water pheromone traps also collected similar number of adults (79 adult week -1) to delta traps. Overall, ferolite trap type exhibited higher efficacy in trapping and monitoring the adults compared to the rest of the trap types included in the study. The current study reveals that tomato residues could result in significant populations of the pest in the adjacent fields, which could negatively affect other crops. Therefore, the residues must be managed properly to avoid the pest outbreaks in adjacent areas of tomato production. Moreover, ferolite traps could be used effectively to manage the pest in tomato production areas.
