Authors: ACAR Anıl Burak , MENGÜ Hüseyin , KARATAY Seçil , ERKEN Faruk
Published: August 2022

With the development of technology, today, the use of technology in the field of agriculture has become widespread. In order to meet the increasing demand for agricultural products, automation techniques should be used in agricultural areas in order to make the production of agricultural products simpler and more efficient. In this study, an automation system is designed by making use of technology against problems such as irrigation problem and water shortage, which have become an important problem in agricultural areas. The data coming from the humidity sensor placed in the soil is processed to the controller. According to these processed data, when the soil is dry and the plant needs water, the water-pumping set automatically activates and meets the water needs of the plant. Optimum use of irrigation water to be used in agriculture is prevented unnecessary agricultural irrigation, reducing excessive water waste and providing a very high level of energy savings. At the same time, the negativities caused by excessive irrigation have been prevented. It is observed that the automatic controlled irrigation system used in this study saves a lot of water compared to the conventional irrigation system and increases the productivity of the plants to a great extent.

Published: August 2022

This study was carried out from December 2018 to November 2019 to examine the distribution and abundance of harmful algal species (HAS) in the central Bonny estuary. Seven sampling stations were established with ArcGIS tool. Microalgae species were sampled with 20 mm mesh plankton net. Nutrients were analyzed in the laboratory using the APHA 4500 Method, while physicochemical characteristics were determined in situ. Results revealed that environmental gradients were adequate to support life in that part of the estuary except for phosphate (2.90 ± 0.22-9.48 ± 1.06 mg l-1). A total of 31 HASs categorized into 17 genera and three classes were determined: Bacillariophyceae (29 species), Chlorophyceae and Cyanophyceae (one species each). Navicula amphibola had the highest density (4.713 103 cells l-1) while Pinnularia divergens recorded the lowest density (0.00049 103 cells l-1). Total density values decreased across seasons with 9.157 103 cells l-1 in dry season and 8.907 103 cells l-1 in wet season. Checklist of species across stations showed that five species were distributed across the seven stations, while two were found only in Station 2 and 7. Diversity indices revealed Shannon’s index ranged between 3.17 and 3.25 and species evenness ranged between 0.78 and 0.88, while Margalef range value (3.09-3.31) was considered moderately stable. Therefore, there is a need for proper management practices which could help to reduce the level of nutrient discharge into the central Bonny estuary.

Authors:   , Costa Daniela Cristina
Published: August 2022

O acompanhamento das práticas de manejo usadas na recuperação de áreas mineradas é de suma importância para manutenção da produtividade da cultura de cobertura e consequentemente nos incrementos na matéria orgânica do solo (MOS). Neste sentido, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar os efeitos residuais da adubação com cama de aviário e fosfato natural reativo na produtividade da Brachiaria brizantha e nas diferentes frações da MOS em área minerada para bauxita. O experimento foi conduzido em um esquema fatorial 4x4x2. Os fatores foram: 1) doses de cama de aviário (CM: 0, 10, 20, 40 Mg ha -1 ) 2) doses de fosfato natural reativo Bayóvar - FR (0, 1, 2,5 e 5 Mg ha -1 ) 3) aplicadas em parcelas sem plantas (SP) ou cultivadas com Brachiaria brizantha, cultivar Marandu (com planta (CP). Após 6,9 anos da implantação do experimento foram avaliados a produção de matéria seca da parte aérea e raiz, teores de nutrientes da parte aérea, teores de carbono orgânico total (COT), nitrogênio total (NT), carbono lábil (CL) do solo, Índice de Manejo de Carbono (IMC) e o Perfil dos Ácidos Graxos de Fosfolipídios (PLFA) do solo. A presença da cultura de cobertura aumentou os teores de COT, NT, CL, IMC e PLFA total. A adubação com CM resultou em maior produção de massa de matéria seca da parte aérea e raiz da planta e, consequentemente, maiores teores de COT e NT. Em contraste, a adubação com FR implicou em um efeito quadrático negativo sobre a massa de matéria seca da parte aérea e teores de CL. Além disso, a planta contribuiu para o aumento da abundância relativa de fungos micorrízicos arbusculares e redução de actinobactérias. Portanto, os efeitos residuais da adubação com CM e FR são determinantes sobre a produtividade da cultura de cobertura, seja pelo excesso ou pela escassez de um determinado nutriente. Por sua vez, os incrementos na produtividade Brachiaria brizantha aumentam os teores de COT, NT e CL. Por outro lado, os microrganismos do solo são mais influenciados pela planta do que pelos efeitos residuais da fertilização. Palavras-chave: Cama de aviário. Fosfato natural reativo. Brachiaria brizantha.

БЫЛА ЛИ ГЕОПОЛИТИЧЕСКАЯ КАТАСТРОФА?
Authors: Хакимов Рашид
Published: August 2022

2022 год - год не случившегося юбилея СССР. Автор в связи с этой датой исследует понятие «геополитическая катастрофа». Приведены разные мнения по оценке распада СССР как геополитической катастрофы. Автор рассматривает распад Союза, как внешне, трудно объяснимое, но внутренне вполне обусловленное явление. И считает ее одной из многих геополитических катастроф в мировой истории. И данная геополитическая катастрофа рассматривается автором как инверсия, как этап диалектического развития. Как всякое крупное историческое явление, распад СССР имел свои положительные и свои отрицательные аспекты. Образовались суверенные национальные государства, имевшие многовековую историю, была устранена единая идеологическая надстройка, новые государства встали на путь развития демократии. На огромном евразийском пространстве также произошли вооруженные столкновения этнических групп, кланов, в ряде случаев, принявшие характер гражданской войны (Таджикистан, Приднестровье, Абхазия, Нагорный Карабах), на территории РФ длился несколько лет затяжной вооруженный конфликт в Чечне. Все это нанесло огромный ущерб народам. Освободившись от идеологических догм прошлого, Россия и другие постсоветские страны сегодня выстраивают отношения на основе признания независимости, равноправия и экономического сотрудничества.

CAPACITY BUILDING FOR AGRICULTURE INSURANCE: LESSONS FROM DEVELOPED ECONOMIES
Authors: Kajwang Ben
Published: August 2022

Purpose: Agricultural insurance has been offered in some developed economies for more than a century. In contrast, the sector remains underserviced in low and middle-income economies. Penetration of agricultural insurance exceeds 1 percent in developed economies but in low and middle- income countries, the agricultural insurance penetration is less than 0.3 percent. The gap between the penetration of non–life insurance and agricultural insurance increases as development status decreases. The purpose of this research work is to outline lessons from developed economies on how capacity building for agriculture insurance is done.

Methodology: Relevant books references and journal articles for the study were identified using Google Scholar. The inclusion criteria entailed papers that were not over five years old.

Findings: The study findings showed that insurance company’ in enveloped economies sell crop insurance policies through financial institutions or cooperatives, which are particularly important in marketing crop hail insurance. It was also found that in the developed economies, there is a national climate change policy as a means of capacity building for agriculture insurance. This policy helps the government to plan for training of staff and policymakers on how to advise farmers to take agricultural insurance. This policy also help in enhancement of the administrative and technical capacity of government institutions responsible for handling climate change related issues that affect agriculture insurance  

Recommendations: The study recommend policymakers in developing countries to focus on imperfections on the pricing of agricultural insurance products. This will help policymakers designing public support programs aimed at reducing the cost of insurance thus developing insurance products that are attractive and affordable to farmers and financially viable and sustainable for insurers. The study also recommend developing countries to embrace modern insurance pricing approaches that are based on the credibility theory such as the experience-based approach. This approach has been promoted in several developed countries to cover systemic risks because it allows for the adjustment of the expected loss based on additional credible information such as insured losses of other products. The study further recommend developing countries to promote insurer- insured partnerships.

Published: August 2022

All children should be treated equally, feel significant and should not left out. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) focuses on supporting culturally, socioeconomically and racially diverse school district populations. Public education is a right for all well and disadvantaged children. Inclusive education treated learners fairly and with dignity regardless of their race, color, physical ability, learning styles and interests. It is a dynamic process where stereotypes, exclusion from education, inactivity, discrimination are terms that will not be tolerated anymore. Nevertheless, the activation of comprehensive education in Palestine remains limited due to the lack of skills of teachers to contain all students at all levels, and the lack of material resources, equipment and means, and therefore appropriate legislation and laws for the Palestinian context must be enacted to facilitate the integration of people with special needs into our schools. Therefore, this study aims to highlight the history of inclusive education, its objectives, the justifications for its application, inclusive education and private education, the role of teachers when applying them, and the challenges of their application in Palestine.‎ Key words: Inclusive education, challenges, Palestine.

Published: August 2022

Purpose: This paper examines the application of brain-based learning in the teaching of Physics in the selected colleges of education in Oyo State. This study also seeks to identify the constraints and measure the perceptions of both students and teachers in the utilization of brain-based learning models in the teaching of Physics in the selected colleges of education.

Methodology: This study adopted a quantitative research methodology in accomplishing the purpose and objectives identified. Multistage sampling was used in selecting a sample of 162 respondents (42 lecturers and 120 students). Instruments for data collection were Lecturers and Students Questionnaire Descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage counts) were used in analyzing the data.

Findings: The results revealed that lecturers adopt the use of brain-based techniques in the teaching of optics, mechanics, and thermodynamics. However, in the teaching of concepts like nuclear physics relativity, and quantum mechanics the adoption level was low. A majority of lecturers further stated that this technique is only effective in a small class size. The responses of the students also point to the fact that a larger majority of them prefer a brain-based learning environment to the current teacher-focused mode of learning.

Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: It is recommended that educational training in Nigeria should focus not only on curriculum and students’ management but also on models such as brain-based learning in its practical dimension.

Published: August 2022

Studies of maple problems in Michigan beginning in 1970 have shown that the problem occurs on soils of high ,pH (7.1-8.0). Foliar treatment with various micronutrients initially showed the problem to be related to manganese deficiency. Spraying chlorotic trees can effect a significant, though not complete, positive color change. Treatment through systemic means shows promise, with MnSC>4 implantation superior to other methods researched to date. Results are not as quickly and markedly effective as similar treatment reported for pin oak chlorosis with iron. Maple manganese deficiency is described.
Insect Transmission of Oak Wilt
Authors: Rexrode C.O.
Published: August 2022

A review of the research done in attempts to identify the insect vectors of the oak wilt fungus Ceratocystis fagacearum. Oak bark beetles Pseudopityophthorus sp. are believed to be the most important vectors of the oak wilt fungus. Nitidulids, sap-feeding beetles, probably aid in the transmission of the fungus when mycelial mats of the fungus develop on diseased trees

Published: August 2022

Introduction: In subjects undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary no-reflow phenomenon is generally determined through evaluation of TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) score. Contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) has also been a frequent problem in these patients. The purpose of this study is aimed to evaluate potential risk factors of CI-AKI in subjects with coronary no-reflow phenomenon.
Methods: We enrolled consecutive patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) undergoing PCI between the years 2014 and 2019 in cardiology clinic. Independent variables associated with CI-AKI in patients with no reflow phenomenon following PCI were evaluated using multivariate logistic regression analysis. A p value <0.05 was accepted as the statistical significance limit.
Results: Among a population of 3034 patients, 93 (3%) were diagnosed as having coronary no-reflow (64% male, mean age of 64±12 years). CI-AKI occurred in 22% of the patients with coronary no-reflow (n:20). The multivariate analysis has demonstrated significant associations of post PCI TIMI flow 0-1, contrast volume and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PHT) with the evolution of CI-AKI in the setting of no-reflow phenomenon (p:0.023, p:0.017 and p<0.001).
Conclusion: In CAD patients managed with PCI, PHT, contrast volume, post-PCI TIMI flow as well as the presence of coronary ectasia may pose a significant risk for CI-AKI development in subjects with coronary no-reflow phenomenon.
Bibliometric Analysis of Publications on “Diabetic Foot Ulcer and Nursing”
Authors: Koyuncu Fadime
Published: August 2022

Giriş: Diyabetli bireylerde en yaygın morbidite ve mortalite nedeni diyabetik nöropati ve/veya periferik arter hastalığının sonucu olan ayak ülserleridir. Diyabetik ayak ülserleri (DAÜ), tüm travmatik olmayan alt ekstremite ampütasyonlarının %85’ini oluşturmaktadır. DAÜ, yaşam kalitesinin düşmesine, erken ölüm riskinin artmasına, aile ve sağlık sistemi üzerinde mali yüke neden olduğu için son yıllarda çalışmaların odak noktalarından biri olmuştur. Ancak, tüm bu araştırmaları bir arada analiz eden bibliyometrik bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır.
Yöntemler: İngilizce yayınlar için Pubmed veri tabanında “diyabetic food ulser and nursing” anahtar kelimeleri, Türkçe yayınlar için ise Google Akademik veri tabanında “Diyabetik ayak ülseri ve hemşirelik” anahtar kelimeleri ile arama yapılmıştır. Toplam 857 çalışma incelenmiş olup, 118 orijinal araştırma bibliyometrik çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Çalışmalar, yıllara göre yayın sayıları, yayın türleri ile kavram-konu yönelimleri bağlamında analiz edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Makalelerin yıllara göre dağılımı incelendiğinde; 1986-2005 yılları arasında 9, 2006-2015 yılları arasında 33, 2016-2021 yılları arasında 76 araştırma yayınlanmıştır. Araştırmalar, türleri açısından incelendiğinde; sistematik derleme ve meta-analiz türünde 52, deneysel dizaynda 42, gözlemsel 23 ve metodolojik dizaynda bir araştırma bulunmaktadır. Araştırmaların kavram-konu yönelimi analizinde; DAÜ’ne ilişkin özellikler, DAÜ’li hastaların yönetimi, DAÜ’de kullanılan kılavuzlar, ölçüm araçları, sınıflandırma sistemleri ve DAÜ’de tedavi yöntemleri olmak üzere dört kategori altında toplanmıştır.
Sonuç: DAÜ konusunda hemşireler tarafından yapılan araştırmaların sayısının giderek arttığı ve bu araştırmalarda DAÜ’nün önlenmesinden tedavisine kadar, tüm süreçte hemşirenin önemli rollerinin olduğu görülmektedir.

34 yaşında erkek sağlık çalışanı, COVID-19 ile enfekte hastaların yattığı klinikte çalışırken, hastadan kan alınan şırınganın iğnesi yanlışlıkla sol elin 2. Parmağının distal falanksın volar yüzeyine kazara saplandı. Şırınganın kullanıldığı hasta 54 yaşında COVID-19 pnömonisi nedeniyle hastanede 3 gündür tedavi alan kadın hastaydı. Sağlık çalışanı 4 hafta boyunca takip edildi. COVID-19 enfeksiyonunu düşündüren hiçbir semptom veya bulgu tespit edilmedi. Sağlık çalışanı 2 doz BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) aşısı ile 2 doz arası 42 gün olmak üzere aşılanmıştır. Son aşısı, iğne batması yaralanmasından 1 ay önceydi.Perkütan iğne batması sonucu yaralanma nedeniyle virüs bulaşma riski yok denecek kadar azdır veya yoktur. Bulaşma riski düşünülse dahi hastanın iki doz BNT162b2 aşısı olması kendisini korumuş olabilir. Teorik olarak koronavirüsün kan yoluyla bulaşma riski var gibi görünse de henüz kanıtlanamamıştır. Virüs bulaşmış hastalarda, bulaş riskinin yüksek olduğu solunum yolu ile perkütan iğne batması sonucu yaralanma karşılaştırıldığında, enfeksiyonun bulaşma riski yok denecek kadar azdır.Bu konuda geniş çaplı çalışma yapılması gerekir.
A Rare Type of Coronary Anomalies: Twin Circumflex Arteries
Authors: Ozturk Cihan
Published: August 2022

Koroner arter anomalileri klinik pratikte çoğunlukla tesadüfen teşhis edilmektedir. Bu bağlamda sirkumfleks (Cx) arterin anormal orijini diğer anomalilere göre nispeten daha sık görülmektedir. Ancak bugüne kadar ikiz sirkumfleks (Cx) arterlere çok nadir rastlanmıştır. Daha önce yapılan bir çalışmada sol ve sağ koroner sinüslerden kaynaklanan Cx arterlerin görülme sıklığının %0.19 ile %0.29 arasında değiştiği bildirilmişti. Klinik olarak, bu anomali genellikle iyi huylu bir patoloji olarak kabul edilir. Ancak olası bir akut koroner sendrom veya kararsız angina pektoris durumunda tanı ve tedavide zorluklara neden olabilir. Bu yazıda, anjina pektoris ile başvuran ve koroner anjiyografide (KAG) ikiz Cx arterleri (sol ve sağ koroner sistemlerden çıkan iki ayrı arter) ile birlikte sağ koroner arterinde (RCA) kritik bir stenotik lezyon gösteren 58 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu.
Footprints of Greek Mythology in Medical Terminology

Published: August 2022

Mitoloji ve bilim arasındaki anlamsal ortaklığa dayanan mitik semboller, bilimsel terminolojide özellikle tıpta geniş bir kullanıma sahiptir. Bir medeniyetin dili olarak mitler hastalığa ilişkin doğaüstü yaklaşımın benimsendiği dönemlerden olan Antik Yunan Uygarlığında, hastalık kavramları ve iyileşme süreçleri üzerinde güçlü bir etkiye sahiptir. Çok sayıda tıbbi terim bu mitolojik figürlerle ilgilidir. Birçok tıbbi terimde yaşadığı görülen Yunan mitolojisinin kahramanlarına ve sıra dışı hikayelerine göz atmak ilgi çekici olacaktır. Bu çalışmada Freud'un Oedipus ve Electra komplekslerinden tıbbı simgelemek için kullanılan yılan metaforuna kadar tıbbın her köşesine ayak basmış Antik Yunan kültürüne ait efsanelerin ve mitolojik karakterlerin modern tıbbın günlük uygulamalarına nasıl ilham verdiğini incelemek amaçlanmıştır.

Published: August 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected both physical health and mental health of Health Care Workers (HCWs), which should be prioritized to analyze to better understand the associated factors that could affect their mental health and to help improve the working conditions and tailor suitable interventions of the multi - variant coronavirus. The scoping review method is used to describe existing literature and other sources of information, commonly includes findings from different study designs and methods, following PRISMA-ScR. All 39 reviewed studies indicated the prevalence of popular mental health problems as consequences of COVID-19 on HCWs, including depression, insomnia, post-traumatic stress disorders, stress and anxiety. Main associated factors are ranged from low - to high - risk, including fears of getting infected, long working hours and intensive night shifts, insufficient personal protective equipment, isolation from family and friends, lack of social supports, reading COVID-19 related news. A small portion of HCWs reported with positive health outcomes thanks to their good self-coping strategies to fight off bad influence of COVID-19. Mental health of HCWs is important in COVID-19 pandemic. This review provides evidence for researchers and policy makers to develop guidelines, evidence-based intervention, and policies to back up healthy working conditions and a work-life balance of HCWs.

Published: August 2022

The Global Adult Tobacco Survey (2015) showed that 45.3% of all adults who currently smoke were men in Vietnam. A cross - sectional study among 355 adult male smokers, using The Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) scale, was conducted to determine the levels of nicotine dependence and its related factors in rural areas of Thua Thien Hue province. The results of study showed that 25.9% of participants had high nicotine dependence. Multivariate logistic regression model was showed that associated factors of this outcome were age of starting to smoke (OR = 1.941, 95%CI: 1.076 - 3.500), monthly average smoking expenditure (OR = 0.306, 95%CI: 0.138 - 0.683), smoking due to emotional reasons (OR = 0.185, 95%CI: 0.068 - 0.503), and intention to quit smoking (OR = 0.479, 95%CI: 0.234 - 0.979). It could be suggested to reduce nicotine dependence for adult male smokers. These can increase the smoking quit rate among smokers and reduce the burden of disease caused by the tobacco epidemic.

ЛІНГВІСТИЧНИЙ АНАЛІЗ СУСПІЛЬНО-ПОЛІТИЧНИХ ЗАПОЗИЧЕНЬ ТОТАЛІТАРНОЇ ДОБИ: АНГЛОМОВНИЙ АСПЕКТ
Authors: Ажогіна Н.
Published: August 2022

У час відтворення історичної національної пам`яті на засадах її інтернаціонального визнання, має актуальне значення звернення до лінгвістичного аналізу суспільно-політичних запозичень, застосованих в тоталітарну добу на теренах срср. Ці лексичні одиниці обійняли значне місце в англомовному дискурсі часів «холодної війни» в якості ідеологічних інструментів критики найбільш значних негативних елементів тоталітарної ідеології й характеристик соціокультурного життя. Терміни й поняття політичного й соціокультурного спрямування, які були лінгвістичними маркерами радянського режиму, ввійшли в науково-популярний обіг на теренах англійської мови, виражаючи таким чином певне відношення західного світу до цього режиму та його соціокультурних наслідків. В умовах позбуття «совєтського» ідеологічного і пропагандистського багажу, інформаційної війни, викликів і загроз на полікультурних теренах, викорінення в свідомості громадян, в національній історії і культури, наслідків тоталітарної доби має надважливе значення. Метою статті є лінгвістична характеристика місця й ролі запозичень цього роду в англійській мові, яка є мовою лінгва франка в різноманітних сферах суспільного життя, в тому числі, в політичній лінгвістиці. В якості методологічної платформи опрацювання теми були застосовані наукові матеріали, видані як в Україні, так і за її межами. Виклад матеріалу обмежений рамками існування радянського тоталітарного режиму. Сьогодні це має значення в якості ретроспективного аналізу генези певного шару англійської мови, який має витоки у соціолінгвальних соціокультурних особливостях тлумачення означених лінгвістичних одиниць на рівні понятійно-категоріального апарату. Висновки засвідчують, що часи «холодної війни» пройшли, але сьогодні ми маємо справу з новітніми імперськими зазіханнями, з певними геополітичними змінами й відповідними їм трансформаціями в соціополітичній, соціокультурній риторіці. Це спричиняє актуалізовані наукові пошуки в полікультурній соціолінгвальній царині.

ОСНОВНЫЕ ЭТАПЫ ИЗУЧЕНИЯ АРХЕОЛОГИИ ВЕРХОВЬЯ ЗАРАФШАНА (ДРЕВНИЙ ПЕНДЖИКЕНТ)
Authors: Сафоев Джамшед
Published: August 2022

Автор в своей статье рассматривает основные этапы изучения археологии верховьев Зарафшана на примере Древнего Пенджикента. Подчеркивется, что важность изучения археологии на разных этапах заключается в том, что она заложила основу для будущих исследований в области археологии и этнографии верхнего Зеравшана. Хотя научные экспедиции были немногочисленны и недолговечны, они принесли молодым таджикским археологам великие открытия в области древней истории согдийцев, предков таджикского народа. Основоположником историко-археологического направления в изучении древнего таджикского стана, его социологического комментария фактически был А.Ю. Якубовский, который подвел итоги работы ТСАЭ 1946-1951 гг. в Пенджикенте. Делается заключение, что выводы исследователей различных периодов, которые опирались на материалы археологических раскопок по истории, материальной и духовной культуре Пенджикента и всей Верхней Зеравшанской котловины, позволили картографировать топографию, социальное положение населения и его культурная жизнь древнего и средневекового периодов по всей Зеравшанской долине.
