Dede Korkut Kitabında Sıfat-Fiilli Tamlama Grupları ve Bunların Aktarımı Üzerine
Authors: TULU Sultan
Published: June 2019

In the Dädä Qorqut Book, the verbal adjective {-An+dA} construction was read as
a gerund. However, in some cases this does not reflect the context of the text.
In fact, this adjective verb or participle is not associated with the particle
dA. The article improves the topic {-An+Da}, {-Ar+Da}, {-Duq+Da}. The structures accepted as gerunds were discussed in various
editions of Dädä Qorqut. Repair suggestions were made there, where as a participle
construction should be considered.

Authors: Pratiwi Anggi
Published: June 2019

This study discusses the effect of adding magnesium nutrients from MgSO4.7H2O and iron from FeSO4.7H2O to obtain maximum lipid levels in Tetraselmis chuii microalgae. The nutritional variations used were 0, 4, 6, 8 gr / L MgSO4.7H2O and 0, 24, 30, and 36 µM / L FeSO4.7H2O. Microalgae was cultivated with a photobioreactor filled with 1 L microalgae culture with a ratio of microalgae and sea water 3: 7, namely 300 ml of microalgae and 700 ml of sea water with salinity of 30 ppt. The light intensity is 2000 lux. The study began with culturing microalgae with variations in these nutrients. Then, the cell density is observed every 3 hours until the optimum time is obtained where the cell density is high. Then the microalgae is harvested and extracted so that the lipids are obtained. The extraction process was carried out using diethyl ether solvents. After obtaining the lipid mass, the microalgae lipid levels were calculated. The results showed that the highest lipid levels in Tetraselmis chuii microalgae were obtained by the addition of MgSO4.7H2O 6 gram and the addition of FeSO4.7H2O 36 µM which was 20,175%.
Collaborating to Bring the Credibility Revolution to Giftedness and Talent Development Research
Authors: Makel Matthew C. , Smith Kendal N. , Miller Erin Morris , Peters Scott J. , McBee Matthew
Published: June 2019

Students have numerous opportunities to learn outside the classroom. However, with great choice comes great variability of both quality and of intent. To evaluate the effectiveness of out-of-school programs generally—as well as individual programs specifically—we must know their intended effects (program goals) as well as their actual effects (program outcomes). Despite numerous existing evaluations and even more numerous claims, many programs and evaluations lack strong empirical support, suffer from biases, and are ripe for perverse incentives. In this paper, we propose greater adoption of large-scale collaborative research to provide more precise and accurate information about: effects of participation; heterogeneity of effects across contexts or demographic groups; resolve disagreements; and evolve to exploring new questions with greater confidence in previous findings. Implementing large-scale collaborative research practices that have helped catalyze a credibility revolution in psychology will help stakeholders make more informed decisions.
VIRTUAL CLASSROOM: TEACHER SKILLS TO PROMOTE STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
Authors: Bigné Enrique , Badenes Alberto , Ruiz Carla , Andreu Luisa
Published: June 2019

The Virtual Classroom is the main tool for blended learning, since it allows the breaking of time and space barriers between the teacher and the student. In order to develop and put into practice a higher studies course through this tool, teachers need to have a series of skills related to the command of digital technologies and an understanding of students’ affective and behavioral states: and to then apply appropriate communication strategies to deliver course content and prepare students for this innovative learning approach. This study reviews educational research literature on virtual classrooms, teacher behavior and student engagement to establish a theoretical model that explains the type of abilities that teachers must develop to achieve student engagement in academic activities. These abilities are classified in three categories: technical, affective and communicative. Furthermore, several learning theories (objectivism, constructivism and connectivism) are reviewed to conduct an appropriate Virtual Classroom design and implementation that can adapt to each student’s specific learning needs. Future study lines, as well as empirical proposals to go deeper into these theoretical propositions, are presented.
EDUCACIÓN EMPRENDEDORA A TRAVÉS DE LAS JUNIOR EMPRESAS
Authors: Barba-Sánchez Virginia , Atienza-Sahuquillo Carlos
Published: June 2019

En el contexto de la universidad emprendedora, el movimiento de la Junior Empresa nació como un complemento formativo para incrementar el espíritu emprendedor y mejorar la empleabilidad del alumno universitario de cualquier rama del conocimiento. Sin embargo, se observa que en el ámbito español ha tenido un éxito relativo, con una baja tasa de creación y dificultades para mantenerse activas. ¿Por qué no termina de consolidarse este movimiento en España? ¿Cuáles son los problemas a los que se enfrenta la creación y consolidación de una Junior Empresa? A partir del estudio general del movimiento de Junior Empresa, este trabajo de investigación analiza el caso de una Junior Empresa adscrita a la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (UCLM). Los resultados obtenidos sugieren que, a pesar de las singularidades de estas empresas, los problemas son similares a los que se enfrenta una pequeña empresa creada por un equipo de emprendedores, respecto a su coordinación interna, a su capacidad de retención del talento o a la difícil conjunción de capacidades técnicas y de gestión que deben poseer sus miembros. La posible solución a tales problemas pasa porque las universidades ejerzan, de una forma más activa, su papel de incubadora de este tipo de iniciativas emprendedoras.

Contradictions in drug labeling texts for various medicinal products with the same active substance can cause medication errors. We found discrepancies in the Russian drug labeling texts for cefotaxime and oral forms of amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, 500 + 125 mg. We analyzed Russian database of spontaneous reports. In 18.5% spontaneous reports with cefotaxime as a suspected drug and in 22.0% spontaneous reports with amoxicillin/clavulanate in forms for oral administration as a suspected drug we detected medication errors resulted from deviations from those items of approved drug labels which were not harmonized for different drug manufacturers. Such problems require the participation of regulatory authorities in order to eliminate existing discrepancies.

Este artigo apresenta, de forma sucinta, o conceito de geodiversidade. O termo surgiu a partir de um movimento deconscientização da importância de se proteger os elementos não bióticos da natureza e diz respeito à variedade de estruturase materiais que constituem o substrato físico natural, o qual suporta a biodiversidade. À medida que estudos sobre o temaforam avançando, surgiram conceitos associados, que explicitam essa nova postura de parte da comunidade geocientífica,entre eles: geossítio, geopatrimônio, geoconservação, geoturismo e geoparque. Embora elementos da geodiversidade guardem parte da memória da evolução do planeta e, portanto, devam ser conservados para usufruto das gerações futuras, as pesquisas ainda são incipientes quando comparadas às de biodiversidade ou de outras categorias de patrimônio.

The Rise of “Digital Biology”: We need not only open, FAIR but also sustainable data!
Authors: Grandcolas Philippe
Published: June 2019

Biology has already experienced great divides that decreased its global coherence and its ability to answer important scientific and societal concerns. For example in the XXth century, the so-called “Life Sciences” developed remarkably in comparison to Natural History sciences. This way, the approaches on model organisms dominated or prevented other approaches from being carried out on more diverse organisms, which may have given a misleading feeling of generality for the results obtained. Another great divide is at risk of developing now with the rise of what could be called “Digital Biology,” separating from other “material-based” approaches in its tendency to consider digital data only. Some biologists adopt a somewhat essentialist view of species and DNA, considering that enough knowledge is now accumulated, and that species records can be kept and saved as digital data only (Grandcolas 2017). Examples of this include occurrence records without specimens or auxiliary documents, taxonomic descriptions based on photographs, DNA sequences without vouchers, and, lastly, DNA sequences without taxonomic names. This tendency puts at risk the sustainability, growth, and coherence of biological knowledge that is organized in a system wherein all data and notions are connected via specimens, with names and sequences being a retrieval means (Troudet et al. 2018). This tendency also ignores the robust foundation of biology, the data of which are linked to collections, vouchers, and stocks. The foundation of physical specimens exists for data concerning any live beings, be they rare wild species or selected lines of model organisms. There are now many calls for open and FAIR science, with results, methods, tools, and data not only findable, accessible, and interoperable but also re-usable. More than FAIR and digitally re-usable, data need to be sustainable. It is needed that their meaning and significance can be re-analysed, re-interpreted by going back as far as possible to material vouchers. We urge then scientists to consider this question by providing all necessary material elements to make open and FAIR data sustainable as well.
Features of the pharmacological activity of polypeptide modulators on acid-sensitive ion channels in the experiment
Authors: Dyachenko Igor A. , Murashev Arkadii N.
Published: June 2019

Introduction: TRPV1 receptors play a significant physiological role. To study pharmacological activity of new agonists and antagonists is important for the development of new drugs. This paper reports on the features of polypeptide antagonists of TRPV1 based on in vivo data.

Materials and methods: The study was performed on 250 mature white ICR male mice weighing 25–30 g. Tests were conducted to evaluate the pharmacological activity and biological properties of APHC1-3 and a hybrid polypeptide A13 in thermal pain,, inflammation and body temperature tests.

Results and discussion: APHC1-3 polypeptides showed significant antinociceptive and analgesic activity in the dose range of 0.01–0.1 mg/kg, without causing hyperthermia. A single substitution of the aspartic acid residue of АРНС1 polypeptide at position 23 by transferring one asparagine residue from the cognate peptide АРНС3 led to a significant change in the properties of the molecule. A new polypeptide A13 did not alter the thermal sensitivity of the mice, but showed the most significant analgesic activity in the acid-induced pain model, unlike АРНС1. A13 inhibits TRPV1 and affects body temperature as a classic antagonist of this receptor.

Conclusion: Antagonistic properties of A13 became different from the properties of both initial analgesic polypeptides. Polypeptides APHC1-3 can be referred to as a new class of modulators of TRPV1, which produce a pronounced analgesic effect without hyperthermia.
Réception d’un film et représentation de la langue française : les étudiants en Sciences Humaines et Sociales de l’Université de M’sila et La Bataille d’Alger
Authors: Rahal Amira , Kharchi Lakhdar
Published: June 2019

L’image, véhicule d’un message suscitant une interprétation personnelle et ayant un effet significatif en termes de connaissances et d’apprentissage, fait partie du quotidien, plus particulièrement l’image filmique qui a un effet sur le téléspectateur notamment sur la représentation d’une langue étrangère, telle que la langue française, historiquement ancrée en Algérie, et le statut qu’on lui octroie. À cet effet, une expérience a été menée auprès d’étudiants de différentes spécialités, qui consistait à visionner des séquences d’un film historique (La Bataille d’Alger, Gillo Pontecorvo, 1966) dont quelques répliques sont en expression française. Ce film-culte a été volontairement choisi pour inciter les étudiants arabophones à déconstruire des représentations sociales figées. Notre expérience est accompagnée préalablement d’un premier questionnaire portant sur leur représentation de la langue française et d’un second questionnaire, en fin du visionnage, afin d’observer l’impact des scènes filmiques sur l’opinion des étudiants. Après le visionnage, les statistiques ont révélé d’abord une réticence pour exprimer une opinion controversée, puis une reconnaissance du rôle qu’a joué la langue française lors des évènements de la lutte armée ou politique des militants algériens. Ainsi, l’usage de séquences cinématographiques en didactique du français peut-il contribuer non seulement à l’acquisition de connaissances en français, mais aussi à revaloriser cette langue.

Authors: Chigwada Josiline Phiri , Hwalima Thembelihle , Kwangwa Nancy
Published: June 2019

The chapter documents the proposed framework for the establishment of research data management services in research institutions in Zimbabwe. It has been indicated that there are no formal research data management services taking place in Zimbabwe as researchers are managing their own data. It is against such a background that a literature review was undertaken to understand how research institutions in other countries are engaging in research data services. E-mails were sent to the pioneers of research data services. It was discovered that there are challenges that are faced when establishing research data management services and it is important to consult all stakeholders at the planning stage. The framework consists of strategies, policies, guidelines, processes, technologies, and services.

Published: June 2019

Smartphones are a fundamental part of emerging adults' life. The aim of this chapter is to determine which factors play a role in “phubbing” during emerging adulthood as well as to propose and test a model of this phenomenon. We tested a model of relations between phubbing, self-esteem, self-control, well-being, and internet addiction. The following measures were used: the Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale, the Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS), the Flourishing Scale, the Internet Addiction Scale, and the Phubbing Scale. The participants in the online study were 640 Italian emerging adults (526 females and 114 males), ranging in age from 18 to 29 (M = 21.7, SD = 2.18). The results showed that the model was well fitted, particularly in postulating that a decrease in the level of self-control is related to an increase in Internet addiction, that an increase in Internet addiction increases the probability of phubbing behavior, and that the level of self-esteem and well-being do not affect Internet addiction. Gender differences, in favor of males, occurred only in self-esteem.

Antecedents of Green Consumerism
Authors: Caliskan Aylin
Published: June 2019

While green consumerism is considered as a solution to ecological problems, it is also seen as a good source of income and competitive advantage for commercial enterprises. It is extremely difficult for producers and marketers to design and position their green marketing efforts. Because green consumerism is not only a tendency towards products, but also a multi-faceted approach that varies from political struggle to ethical orientation. Therefore, green consumerism as a form of consumption is influenced by severe factors. Each green consumer exhibits different motivational drivers regarding to the attributes of a green product, service, or act. Therefore, it is vital to understand different preferences and different motivations among green customers. This chapter reviews the antecedents that affect the green purchasing behaviors of consumers. Factors affecting green consumerism are examined under three main headings: endogenous antecedents such as emotion, exogenous antecedents such as social norms, and structural antecedents such as price of the product.
An Intelligent Surveillance System Based on IoT for Internal Security of a Nation
Authors: Kumar Tarun , Kushwaha Dharmender Singh
Published: June 2019

Cross border terrorism and internal criminal activities are critical issues for any country to deal with. In India, such types of incidents that breach security are increasing and tracking such incidents depends only on the radio communications and the operations of security agencies. These security agencies face varied challenges to get real-time locations of targeted vehicles, their direction of fleeing, etc. This article proposes a novel application for the automated tracking of the suspicious vehicles in real-time. The proposed application tracks the vehicle based on their registration number, their type, color or RFID tag. The integration of RFID technique in the application reduces the overhead of image processing techniques, thus improving the performance of the application. This article also proposes an approach for vehicle classification. An integrated framework for tracking any vehicle at the request of security agencies is also proposed. Security agencies can track any vehicle in the specific time period by using a user interface application.
Optimization of the autophagy measurement in a human cell line and primary cells by flow cytometry

Published: June 2019

The limited availability of rapid and reliable flow cytometry-based assays for ex vivo quantification of autophagy has hampered their clinical applications for studies of diseases pathogenesis or for the implementation of autophagy-targeting therapies. To this aim, we modified and improved the protocol of a commercial kit developed for quantifying the microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B light chain 3B (LC3), the most reliable marker for autophagosomes currently available. The protocol modifications were set up measuring the autophagic flux in neoplastic (THP-1 cells) and primary cells (peripheral blood mononuclear cells; PBMC) of healthy donors. Moreover, PBMC of active tuberculosis (TB) patients were stimulated with the Mycobacterium tuberculosis purified protein derivatives or infected with live Mycobacterium bovis bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG). We found that the baseline median fluorescent intensity (MFI) of THP-1 cells changed depending on the time of sample acquisition to the flow cytometer. To solve this problem, a fixation step was introduced in different stages of the assay’s protocol, obtaining more reproducible and sensitive results when a post-LC3 staining fixation was performed, in either THP1 or PBMC. Furthermore, since we found that results are influenced by the type and the dose of the lysosome inhibitor used, the best dose of Chloroquine for LC3 accumulation were set up in either THP-1 cells or PBMC. Finally, applying these experimental settings, we measured the autophagic flux in CD14+ cells from active TB patients’ PBMC upon BCG infection. In conclusion, our data indicate that the protocol modifications here described in this work improve the stability and accuracy of a flow cytometry-based assay for the evaluation of autophagy, thus assuring more standardised cell analyses.
Analysis of cloud condition on Sentinel-2 MSI and Landsat-8 OLI images of a public supply lake in Belém-Pará-Brazil
Authors: Dutra Vítor Abner Borges , Tavares Paulo Amador , Ribeiro Hebe Morganne Campos
Published: June 2019

The eutrophication process leads to reduced water quality and economic losses worldwide. Furthermore, it is possible to apply remote sensing techniques for monitoring of aquatic environments. In this paper, we analysed the combined use of Sentinel-2 Multispectral Instrument and Landsat-8 Operational Land Imager data to monitor a eutrophic aquatic environment under adverse cloudy conditions, from July 2016 to July 2018. Data pre-selection was performed, and then the images were acquired for further investigation. After that, we created a key to the interpretation of cloud conditions for the study area and grouped each of 125 scenes in a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). The PCA grouped months with similarities in cloud conditions, highlighting their patterns in terms of the rainy and dry seasons for the study area. Another interesting result was that, even under the inherent adverse cloud regime of the Amazon, the combined use of both free satellite imagery data could be useful for further analyses, such as measuring of chlorophyll a, coloured dissolved organic matters, total suspended solids and turbidity. However, we highlight that, firstly, studies must be made to validate the data in situ, so that monitoring programs can be built through remote sensing applications.
A novel approach to calibrating a photoacoustic absorption spectrometer using polydisperse absorbing aerosol
Authors: Foster Katie , Pokhrel Rudra , Burkhart Matthew , Murphy Shane
Published: June 2019

Abstract. A new technique for calibrating photoacoustic aerosol
absorption spectrometers with multiple laser passes in the acoustic cavity
(multi-pass PAS) has been developed utilizing polydisperse and
highly absorbing aerosol. This is the first calibration technique for
multi-pass PAS instruments that utilizes particles instead of reactive gases
and does not require knowledge of the exact size or refractive index of the
absorbing aerosol. In this new method, highly absorbing materials are
aerosolized into a polydisperse distribution and measured simultaneously
with a multi-pass PAS and a cavity-attenuated phase shift particulate matter
single-scattering albedo (CAPS PMSSA, Aerodyne Inc.) instrument. The
CAPS PMSSA measures the bulk absorption coefficient through the
subtraction of the scattering coefficient from the extinction coefficient.
While this approach can have significant errors in ambient aerosol, the
accuracy and precision of the CAPS PMSSA are high when the measured
aerosol has a low single-scattering albedo (SSA) and particles are less than 300 nm in size, in which
case truncation errors are small. To confirm the precision and accuracy of
the new calibration approach, a range of aerosol concentrations were sent to
the multi-pass PAS and CAPS PMSSA instruments using three different
absorbing substances: Aquadag, Regal Black, and Nigrosin. Six repetitions
with each of the three substances produced stable calibrations, with the
standard deviation of the calibration slopes being less than 2 % at 660 nm and less than 5 % at 405 nm for a given calibration substance.
Calibrations were also consistent across the different calibration
substances (standard deviation of 2 % at 660 nm and 10 % at 405 nm)
except for Nigrosin at 405 nm. The accuracy of the calibration approach is
dependent on the SSA of the calibration
substance but is roughly 6 % for the calibration substances used here,
which all have an SSA near 0.4 at 405 nm. This calibration technique is
easily deployed in the field as it involves no toxic or reactive gases and
it does not require generation of a monodisperse aerosol. Advantages to this
particle-based calibration technique versus techniques based on ozone or
nitrogen dioxide absorption include no reactive losses or impact from
carrier gases and the broad absorption characteristics of the particles,
which eliminate potentially significant errors in calibration that come with
small errors in the peak wavelength of the laser light when utilizing
gas-phase standards.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the properties of essential oils packed in foils derived from different plant sources used in Edam type cheese on selected parameters (total viable count of microorganism, coliform bacteria, micromycetes, sensory parameters and instrumental colour). Essential oils have antibacterial and antifungal activities against microorganisms. However, the concentration of these substances applied in cheeses should be considered carefully because of their possible negative influences on sensory parameters. Mixture of the essential oils (clove/cinnamon/thymol in a 1:2:1 ratio), three concentrations (3.9 %, 6.6 %, 9.0 %), respectively mixture of the essential oils (eugenol/thymol/cinnamon in a 1:1:1 ratio), three concentrations (0.10 %, 0.19 %, 0.24 % as a 5% solution in limonene in a dry coating) were used. Samples wrapped in polystyrene dishes were stored in the refrigerator at 3 - 6 °C. Analyses were made after 48 h, 168 h (144 h), 216 h (240 h) respectively. Taste is the most affected by presence of essential oils. The effectiveness of the film with the mixture A seems to be more effective in eliminating microorganisms. Negative sensory changes were observed at higher concentration. Based on the results, the tested foils seem to be promising materials suitable for packaging of cheese.
“Brushed by the Wing of a Great Feeling”: The Embodied Mind inMy Ántonia
Authors: Doležal Joshua
Published: June 2019

In a famous scene from My Ántonia, Jim Burden sits studying Virgil's Georgics when Lena Lingard pays him a visit. He has been contemplating a lecture by his Latin professor from the day before, when he felt “brushed by the wing of a great feeling,” and his window is open to the “earthy wind” of a spring thaw, which makes him indolent. As Jim turns back to the page he is flooded by the warmth Lena has left behind, which sparks a fresh understanding of Virgil's phrase, “The best days are the first to flee.” This scene and others like it in My Ántonia reveal the body's ineluctable role in cognition. As Mark Johnson explains in The Meaning of the Body, abstract processes like thought, reasoning, and comprehension are driven by the felt qualities of situations. Thus, the physical particulars of Jim's meditation on Virgil are more than the objective correlative of mood; they saturate the situation that Jim experiences and define his understanding of it. Cather's representation of Jim's cognitive processes as a character and as a narrator resonates with developments in neuroscience and philosophy of mind which present the mind as the body.

Authors: Ahmadi Fatemeh , Nashibi Roohangiz , Dadsetan Bahar
Published: June 2019

Background: The understanding of the epidemiology and demographic patterns of diseases can accelerate diagnosis and treatment, as well as decrease morbidity and mortality. Objectives: This study was performed to determine the epidemiological pattern of infective endocarditis in the city of Ahvaz, Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 79 patients with infective endocarditis were studied between 2004 and 2013 in Razi Teaching Hospital affiliated to the Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences. The diagnosis was made based on the Duke criteria. The data were recorded in a checklist for epidemiologic data including age, gender, time to defervescence, etc. Data analysis was performed using SPSS version 18 software. Results: Among the sample of 79 patients, the frequency was highest in men (n = 65, 82.3%) and in the age group of 26 - 35 years (38%). The fever was resolved in 49 (49.4%) patients after four days whereas 19 (24.1%) patients had no fever. The most common predisposing factor was being an intravenous drug user, which was true for 44 (55.7%) patients. The most common affected valve was the tricuspid valve, as seen in 43 (54.4%) patients. The most common peripheral manifestation was musculoskeletal manifestations seen in 13 (16.5%) patients. Blood cultures were positive in 12 (15.2%) patients. Fifteen (19%) patients expired during the study period and 64 patients were improved, of whom 23.4% required surgical intervention. Conclusions: Appropriate diagnosis is necessary for decreasing mortality.

So, you didn’t get the job. I have a secret (well, it’s not a secret anymore): I don’t always get the job I want. Perhaps you, too, are like me? The truth is, there are more of us who get the “Dear John” version of a job rejection than those magical people who get job offers left and right—if there truly are any of them at all.

Goths. How did we get from warlike Germanic tribes sacking Rome, to an aesthetic or subculture imbued with “the dark and melancholy, a hint of horror tinged with romance.” This column will show you how widely this aesthetic is represented in art, architecture, film, literature and more, and along the way you will undoubtedly find some great resources to add to your collections, from music CD, to academic journals, reference works and the usual popular and academic books. Rachel Fischer has ably put together an excellent resource for anyone wanting to build a collection from the ground-up, or add some new and interesting resources.—Editor

Book Review: The Indispensable Academic Librarian: Teaching and Collaborating for Change
Authors: McCain Cheryl
Published: June 2019

Rumors of the demise of the academic librarian have been greatly exaggerated. As libraries have changed, so, too, have those who teach students and collaborate with faculty to help students learn. It may be that these changes have simply gone unnoticed or unacknowledged. For academic librarians whose work as teachers often goes unseen or underappreciated, this book offers strategies for changing outdated perceptions of what we do. Writing in the first person, Reale provides examples and discusses how the work of academic librarians has value; we are first and foremost teachers but also consultants, liaisons, collaborators, and leaders.
Book Review: Black Power Encyclopedia: From “Black Is Beautiful” to Urban Uprisings.
