Published: June 2022

Introduction: Since December 2019, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by SARS-CoV-2, has spread locally in Wuhan, China, and later on, a worldwide outbreak occurred. Invasive fungal infections can cause complications in critically ill immunocompromised patients of COVID-19, especially those admitted to intensive care units and who required mechanical ventilation. Candida albicans have been the most common pathogenic species, followed by other Candida spp. Mannan is a major component of the Candida cell wall and can be detected by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in blood and other fluids. Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis is considered a life-threatening infection, especially among immunocompromised patients. COVID-19-associated pulmonary aspergillosis has emerged as an important complication among patients in the intensive care units. Galactomannan (GM) is a major cell-wall component of Aspergillus spp. and can be found in body fluids. Blood GM can be detected by the enzyme immunoassay. The aim of the current study is to assess the frequency of aspergillosis and candidiasis among COVID-19 patients in some hospitals in Baghdad by using GM and mannan biomarkers. Methods: During the period from February 2020 to May 2021, 175 COVID-19 blood samples of patients were collected and a sandwich ELISA test was performed to detect GM Ag of Aspergillus spp. and mannan Ag of Candida spp. Results: Regarding C-reactive protein (CRP), significant differences were seen among Aspergillus/COVID-19 patients (p = 0.029). Regarding sex and age group, the results indicated that of a total of 175 adult patients with positive COVID-19, more than half of the patients were males. Regarding the distribution of mannan Ag and GM Ag in COVID-19 patients, it was seen that out of the 175 patients, 167 (95.43%) Candida mannan Ag were negative and only 8 (4.57%) were positive, and 170 (79.14%) Aspergillus GM Ag were negative and only 5 (2.86%) were positive. It was also seen that 2 patients (1.14%) who had both Candida mannan and Aspergillus GM were positive and 173 (98.6%) were negative. No statistically significant difference was seen in candidiasis and aspergillosis among patients with COVID-19 regarding age group, sex, underlying chronic diseases (hypertension and diabetes mellitus), and biochemical tests. Conclusion: COVID-19 infections increased with age and were seen more in males than in females. The percentage of infection with C. albicans and Aspergillus spp. among COVID-19 patients was not significant, and this may come from the random collection of samples from patients with different stages of illness. A significant correlation was found between Aspergillus GM Ag in COVID-19 patients and the CRP test.
On a new approach to distributions with variable transmuting parameter: The concept and examples with emerging problems
Authors: Hristov Jordan
Published: June 2022

A new concept in the transmutation of distribution applying variable transmuting function has been conceived. Test examples with power function by quadratic and cubic transmutations have been demonstrated by the applications of the error-function and standard logistic function variable transmuting functions. The efficiency and properties of the new approach by numerical examples addressing the rate constants of the transmuting functions and the shape parameter of the test power function have been demonstrated. An additional example with a quadratic transmutation of the exponential distribution through the error function as a variable transmuting parameter has been developed.

Published: June 2022

Applications of chiral organocatalysts in reaction types capable of forming C-C bonds, such as Michael addition, are one of the important research areas of recent years. One of the best examples of Michael addition, one of the important works of organic reaction types, is the reaction of nitroolefins with ketones in the presence of organocatalysts. In this study, L-proline-based amide derivative was synthesized with moderate yield and its structure was elucidated by various techniques. As an organocatalyst, its effect on enantiomeric excess (e.e.) was investigated in Michael addition studies and the best enantiomeric excess value was found to be 65% in carbontetra chloride (CCl4).

Detection and prevention of hypokalemia which causes economic losses and metabolic diseases in dairy cows had great importance. For this reason, the first objective of this study is to determine the level of blood potassium in dairy cows during the periparturient period and the second objective is to the determination of the relationship between metabolic diseases and blood potassium levels. A total of 60 cows were used in the study. Forty cows of them (Group I; 20 and group II;20) were pregnant and multiparous, and 20 of them with metabolic diseases (ketosis, displacement of abomasum). Blood samples of healthy cattle were taken from v.jugularis twice, 10 ml each time. The first blood sample was taken two weeks before calving, and the second blood sample was taken within two weeks after calving. Blood samples of 20 cattle with metabolic diseases were taken from v.jugularis once, 10 ml. Serum samples were analyzed for Na, K, Cl, Creatinine, AST, LDH, Mg, P, and CPK parameters. The mean potassium level of group I and II healthy cattle after calving was 2,35 ± 0,17 mmol/l and 2,71 ± 0,12 mmol/l, respectively. However, the mean potassium level of cattle with metabolic diseases was also 2,53 ± 0,06 mmol/l. In conclusion, development of negative K balance in dairy cows after birth were detected. Additionally, cattle with displaced abomasum and ketosis were also found hypokalemic.

With Advantages and Disadvantages The Role of Non-Saccharomyces Yeast In The Wine Industry
Authors: GUNHAN Metehan
Published: June 2022

This article aims to describe non-Saccharomyces yeast and their effects on wine composition, fermentation, chemistry and organoleptic characters. The use of non-Saccharomyces yeast is on the rise in the wine industry despite the negative perception from previous research. It is known that higher levels of non-Saccharomyces yeast could cause implications during winemaking practices. On the contrary, non-Saccharomyces yeast provides complexity, richer aroma and flavour and decreases ethanol content. If the main goal is using indigenous yeast and having a starter culture, use of non-Saccharomyces yeast collected from winery environment could be an option, yet again a risky option. However, previous studies indicated the relation between acetic acid production and the use of non-Saccharomyces yeast. In brief, it is important to increase sanitation in the winery environment and personal awareness to maximize cleanliness and to reduce any unwanted yeast activity. More importantly, in the recent years, the use of non-Saccharomyces yeast is attracting winemakers to achieve unique wine styles, and it is an important topic that should be taken under consideration, particularly on a research basis, specifically for targeting consumer liking-perceptions of the wine. In addition to their positive effect on sensory characters on wines, non-Saccharomyces yeasts as bio-control agents (BCAs) is also charming researchers around the globe.

II. GÖKTEPE SAVAŞI’NDAKİ GELİŞMELER VE RUS GENERAL MİHAİL DMİTRİEVİÇ SKOBELEV
Authors: SADULLAYEVA Dilfuza
Published: June 2022

Mihail Dmitrieviç Skobelev 1843-1882 arasında yaşamış Rusya ve Orta Asya tarihinde iz bırakan bir Rus Generalidir. Rusların Orta Asya ve Teke Türkmenlerine karşı savaşlarında büyük başarı elde eden ve Türkmen tarihine iz bırakan önemli komutandır. 19. yüzyıl Çarlık Rusya’sı için büyük savaşların yüzyılı olmuştur. Bu yüzyılda Ruslar kendi sınırlarını genişletmek ve yeni toprakları ele geçirmek arayışına giriştiği dönem olmuştur. Rusların ilk hedefi Osmanlı topraklarına giriş yapıp Akdeniz’de söz sahibi olmaktı. Fakat Ruslar 1856’da Osmanlı ile giriştiği Kırım savaşını Avrupa devletlerinin de dahil olduğu bu mücadeleyi kaybetmişlerdi. Bu kayıp Rusların siyasi politikasına büyük darbe vurmuştur. Fakat Ruslar pes etmeyerek yönlerini Orta Asya’ya çevirmişlerdir. Rusların Orta Asya topraklarında en çok sahip olmak istedikleri bölge Hazar ötesinde yer alan Türkmen topraklarıydı. Kafkaslar ve Orta Asya ticaretini stratejik yolla bağlayan topraklara sahip olan Türkmenlerin işgali zaruriydi. Türkmenlere karşı yapılacak işgal için Petersburg’da Türkmenlere karşı uzun stratejik hazırlık sonrası Rus ordusu bu seferin başına geçecek olan komutanın kimin olacağına dair görüşmeler uzmanlar tarafından tartışılmıştır. Komutanlar tarafından alınan kararda bu seferin komutanı olarak daha önce Türkistan seferlerinde büyük başarılar elde eden D. M. Skobelev’i uygun görülmüştür. Türkmenlerin işgali için sefer öncesi 10 Ocak 1879 tarihinde Çar II. Aleksandır, Skobelev’i ile görüşmek için Petersbug’a çağırır. Çar II. Aleksandır, Ahal-Teke seferine Skobelev’in başa gelmesi ile onun yetkilerini de genişletmiştir. Skobelev, sefer için gerekli olan yardım ve desteği Türkistan ve Orenburg’dan istediği kadar elde edebilecekti. Rusların Türkmenlere karşı daha önce verdikleri kayıp nedeniyle Skobelev daha dikkatli ve temkinli davranmayı tercih etmiştir. Çünkü Orta Asya coğrafyası Rusların yaşadıkları topraklara göre çok daha farklıydı. Ayrıca Türkmenleri işgal etmek diğer Orta Asya hanlıklarına nazaran kolay olmamıştır. Bu çalışmada Çarlık Rusya’sının Türkmen karşı ilk savaşta başarısız olmaları ardından ikinci defa savaş açmaları ve 12 Ocak 1881 tarihinde Göktepe savaşında Ruslar ve Teke Türkmenleri arasında yaşananlar ve Türkmenlerin yenilgisi gibi bilgilere yer verilmişti.

BULGAR KENTLERİ VE BULGAR KENTLERİNİN KÖKEN SORUNLARI
Authors: HUZİN Fayaz Ş.
Published: June 2022

Makalede İtil Bulgarlarının yerleşikleşme süreciyle bağlantılı olarak ilk sabit yerleşimlerin oluşumu, yerleşimlerin kent olarak değerlendirilme ölçütleri, kentlerin ortaya çıkışları ve kökenleri, kentlerin karakteristik özellikleri ve sınıflandırılma ile alakalı sorunlar incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda Bulgar kentlerinin kökeninin, Bulgarların yerleşikleşme sorunu ve ilk sabit yerleşimlerinin ortaya çıktığı zaman ile bağlantılı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Genel olarak araştırmacılar, çok farklı formda sosyal yapıya sahip olan kentlerin kökeni ve ortaya çıkış süreçlerine dair çok çeşitli seçeneklere meyil etmiştir. Yazar bu hususta Bulgar kentlerinin ortaya çıkışı ve kökeniyle alakalı varsayımda bulunan araştırmacıların görüşlerini irdeleyerek, köken sorunsalının aydınlatılması adına kendi varsayımlarını dayanaklı olarak belirtmiştir. Yazara göre boylar sisteminin geç aşamasında yani büyük boylar ve boylar arası birlikteliklerin oluştuğu anda vücuda gelen ve etno-sosyal oluşumların merkezi olan erken kentler zamanla idari, dini veya kültsel, askeri-politik merkezler ve ticaret noktaları olarak gelişmiştir. Müstahkem yerleşimlerin bahsi geçen gelişme noktaları, kentlerin köken sınıflandırmasını yani ortaya çıkış yollarının tespitini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Ortaçağ kentlerinin ortaya çıkış yollarının çeşitliliği İtil Bulgar kentleri üzerinde tatbik edilmiş, bu yollar Moğol öncesi İtil Bulgar materyalleriyle tasdik edilmiştir. Fakat araştırmacılar İtil Bulgar kentlerinin ortaya çıkış kökenleriyle ilgili belli başlı üç yol üzerinde durmuştur: boy merkezi, ticaret-zanaat merkezi ve idari-askeri kale.

Tarih Felsefesi, Osmanlı-Türk Modernleşmesi, Osmanlı-Türk İlişkileri ve Balkan Tarihi alanlarında çalışmaları olan akademisyen yazar Necmettin Alkan’ın 2020 yılında Timaş Yayınları’ndan çıkan kitabı, İmparatorluğun Son Savaşı – Birinci Dünya Savaşı’na Nasıl ve Neden Girdik?, günümüzde hala geçerliliği koruyan savaşa girme kararını tüm boyutlarıyla incelemektedir. Kitabın temel argümanı, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun Birinci Dünya Savaşı’na girme kararının acele alınmış bir karar olduğu ve üzerinde yeterince düşünülmemiş olma fikrini sorgulamaktır. Bu sebeple yazar, savaş kararının yalnızca dönemin siyasi aktörlerinin kişisel tercihleriyle alındığı düşüncesini eleştirmektedir. Kitapta, savaşa girme kararının yaklaşık üç aylık bir süreç içerisinde nasıl alındığına odaklanılarak, kararın nedenlerinin, İmparatorluk’un yaklaşık iki yüz yıllık modernleşme sürecinden bağımsız ele alınamayacağı vurgulanmaktadır.
SLAB GRAVE BURIAL CULTURE AND THE HUN (XIONGNU) CONNECTION
Authors: YILDIRIM Elvin
Published: June 2022

The oldest state known to have been founded by the ancestors of the Turks is the Asian Hun State. The earliest records on the Huns date back to 2070 BC and are based on the legendary story of the Xia Hou Dynasty, of which the first known ruler was Chunwei. In Chinese sources, separate from this legend, the nomads who came from the north and raided Chinese lands were called Rong, Di, Shan Rong, Quan Yi, and Quan Rong. Accordingly, the ancestors of the Huns were called Northern Di in general, Xunyu in the Xia period, Guifang in the Yin period, Xianyun in the Zhou period and Xiongnu in the Han period. Of these, the Rong and Di were relocated west of the Yellow River after they were defeated by the Zhou Dynasty, and they were divided into two as Red Di and White Di. The Rong, Di and Yi tribes are mentioned in the northern lands of China before 771-481 BC. One of the tribes mentioned in Chinese sources and subjugated by Modu is the Dinglings who were later referred to as Toles in Turkic inscriptions. During the northern and western expeditions of Modu in 201 BC, it was named for the first time with the Kyrgyz. They were recorded by Chinese sources as having settled around Baikal Lake as nomadic people. This is the main subject of our article. It is stated by many researches that the ancestors of the Dinglings are the community who created the Andronovo Culture. Starting from the Bronze Age and continuing throughout the Iron Age, shallow slabs of wide granite were placed around graves, a tradition which seems to have spread as far as the Orkhun region. The graves of this cultural period which date back to 1000 BC and are thought to have connections with the Karasuk Culture on the one hand and the Glazkov Culture on the other hand. They are of great importance, especially since they were also utilized by the Huns. Their developments beyond Khakassia are very important since those are the lands where they were last seen after Andronovo Culture. Although scholars have rejected the claim that the Huns are the ancestors of the Mongols, in terms of anthropological and material culture Huns have connections with the nomadic Europoids of the Baikal and Yenisey region. In this respect, cultural development continued towards Baykal and Otuken. With this study, we will discuss the period of Slab Grave Culture or Flat Stone Grave Culture, which has not yet been specifically studied in Turkey. Through this analysis, we will reveal important links with the Huns and other pre-cultures, then reveal their relations in terms of burial culture and material remains. In this respect, the connections of the Andronovo, Begaz Dandybai, Karasuk and Slab Grave and the characteristics of the Hun graves and cultural continuity in the directions of the area extending from the Kazakhstan, Yenisey and Baykal triangle to Mongolia will be elaborated upon. Cultural continuity will also be shown in terms of material remains, especially the tomb structure style. According to Chinese sources, there is plenty to learn about the early Turkic tribes’ presence in this region.

Ledebouria hyderabadensis is a new species found in the city limits of Hyderabad, Telangana, India, in 2012. Ethanolic extract of L. hyderabadensis bulbs was measured for its antioxidant and antihypertensive. Phytochemical investigation revealed that the plant contains glycosides, saponins, flavonoids, tannins, carbohydrates, amino acids. Acute toxicity studies performed according to OECD 423 guidelines, where a single dose of 5, 50, 300 and 1000 mg/kg of ethanolic extract of L. hyderabadensis bulbs administered to rats did not displayed any toxic symptoms. Therefore 1000 mg/kg is chosen as the therapeutic dose. The ethanolic extract of L. hyderabadensis bulbs exhibited the DPPH and NO free radical scavenging activity in dose dependent manner than ascorbic acid with IC50 value 54.08 µg/ml and 64.67 µg/ml. The L. hyderabadensis extract exhibited statistically significant (p < 0.05) ACE enzyme inhibition IC50 values (59.64µg/ml) when compared to the standard Captopril (IC50=24.67µg/ml). DOCA salt treatment at the 100 mg/kg, and 200 mg/kg doses, significantly reduced the Mean Systolic Blood Pressure (MSBP) (198.8&169.4) compared with the standard Nifedipine (132.6) and the negative control (122.6).

Published: June 2022

Barringtonia racemosa L. (Lecythidaceae) is an ancient and mangrove associate plant. It possesses antidepressant activity, antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory activity, antidiabetic activity and antifungal activity. In the present study, we investigated the anticataleptic activity of extract of Barringtonia racemosa fruit on haloperidol induced catalepsy in rats. Chloroform extract of Barringtonia racemosa fruit was prepared and evaluated for anti-cataleptic property. The rats were divided into 4 groups (n=6). Group I is served as control. Group II [(haloperidol 1.0 mg/kg body weight, i. p. in Haloperidol induced catalepsy (HIC)]. Group III (CEBR, 200 mg/kg body weight, p. o.). Group IV (CEBR, 400 mg/kg body weight respectively p. o.). The anti-cataleptic effect of Barringtonia racemosa, was evaluated by locomotor activity and rota rod test using rat models. Barringtonia racemosa extract (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight, p. o.) was found to decrease the duration of catalepsy significantly (P < 0.01) in standard bar test as compared to haloperidol group. Comparatively, CEBR (400 mg/kg body weight, p. o.) was more potent anti-cataleptic activity than CEBR (200 mg/kg body weight, p. o.)

The rotational speed, transverse speed, and axial load were the parameters taken into consideration. The optimum process parameters were determined with reference to tensile strength of the joint. The predicted optimal value of tensile strength was confirmed by conducting the confirmation run using optimum parameters. This study shows that defect free, high efficiency welded joints can be produced using a wide range of process parameters and recommends parameters for producing best joint tensile properties. Analysis of variance showed that the axial load is the most dominant factor in deciding the joint soundness while rotational speed and welding speed also played significant roles.

Published: June 2022

The present paper describes the design and fabrication development of a 250kN closed-loop hydraulic actuated press to control Force, velocity and position during stamping operations as well as mechanical tests. The press has one hydraulic servomechanism: a hydraulic cylinder, driven by a servo-solenoid P/Q valve, to support the operation; The press is equipped with a pressure sensor installed in the cylinder chamber for indirectly measuring the pressing force. On the press it is also possible to measure the position of the upper plate by using a micro-pulse linear transducer, which creates a precondition for the realization of a hybrid force /position /velocity-control algorithm. The control algorithms and monitoring process are implemented on a real-time hardware board. They are programmed in the LABVIEW software. Based on the experimental results, it can be concluded that electrically actuated control components supported by the appropriate computer programs make it possible to improve the characteristics of the hydraulic systems required in modern industrial plants. The software setup allows the implementation of a hybrid controller (force + position + velocity) for the hydraulic cylinder in such a way that it will be easy to switch between force, position and velocity control.

It needs the study of different measures to scale down the amount of vehicles movement daily, particularly single-occupant vehicles. Many researches conducted discovered that carpooling are often an economical resolution to alleviate the pressure thanks to traffic. The carpooling may be a system by that an individual offers his or her personal vehicle to at least one or additional commuters who have similar destinations or routes. Carpooling is effective solution to cut back the traffic. It consists of accelerating the occupancy of vehicles by occupying empty seats within the vehicle effectively. This system isn't enough as so much as tiny regions are thought-about and it's quantifiability issue. Our system will offer a secure interface for connecting drivers and commuters to share the ride whereby we have a tendency to are reaching to provide this service in small regions also in order that daily commuters like office-goers and students may also be expedited and might contribute in reducing traffic so saving environment.

Occupational safety and health (OHS) education in universities has an important role in developing and improving safety cultures in the workplace. Safety education is essential for improving necessary OSH skills, culture and knowledge, so do architects, urban planners, interior architects whose duties are regarded as the design, planning and execution of construction projects in high-risk sectors. As a consequence, there has been increasing recognition that safety education courses in the architecture faculties should have participative learning methods and resources. In order to increase preparedness for any potential future health crises parallel to the “Vision Zero” approach in work-related deaths, a new EU Strategic Framework was announced by the European Commission. The course described and proposed here aimed to raise awareness about OHS by teaching risks related to working environments, basic issues, basic legislation within the scope of OHS. It also aimed to cover professional liability with respect to OHS, and risks and hazards in the construction sector, as well as helping participants to analyze and evaluate the risks in workplace. This article’s primary objective is to identify an innovative safety education model of the “occupational health and safety course” with a “Vision Zero” approach.

Aim: Evaluate the patient satisfaction of monolithic zirconia crowns with vertical preparation technique and compare them to deep chamfer finish line preparation in single crowns restoring posterior teeth. Materials and methods: Fourty full coverage zirconia crowns were fabricated for posterior teeth. The patients were divided into two groups according to the preparation designs. Group1: (control group) horizontal finish line and Group2: (intervention group) vertical finish line. Monolithic zirconia was used for the final restorations. EXOCAD software was used to design the try-in & final restorations which were later produced by five axis milling machine. The cementation was done by using self-adhesive resin cement. Patient satisfaction was assessed immediately after cementation using the “Visual Analogue Scale” VAS. These measurements were repeated after one, three, six, nine, and twelve months respectively. Result: independent t-test was used to compare between the two groups. No statistically significant difference was detected between both groups for patient satisfaction over one year. Conclusion: Both horizontal finish line and vertical finish line revealed successful clinical performance in terms of patient satisfaction for zirconia full coverage restorations.

Published: June 2022

Along with the increasing number of COVID-19 cases around the world, new forms of prevention, diagnosis and treatment for this disease have been widely studied globally. As the virus primarily attacks the respiratory system, computed tomography of the chest (lungs) has played an important role mainly:in the detection of pneumonia in patients with high suspicion (not yet confirmed by laboratory; in the magnitude of the evaluation of pneumonia; and in the monitoring of the respiratory condition (pneumonia) evolution in adult and pediatric patients with laboratory studies that confirm the disease. In this scenario, computed tomography (CT) has proven to be an important ally for health professionals in addition to pediatric and adult patients, since the results can help make a timely decision on the clinical direction to follow. This review paper demonstrated deeply the physical mechanism of CT machine. Moreover, in this review paper, studies have shown that in adult and pediatric patients with laboratory evidence of COVID-19, CT images showed lung lesions with very specific features.

Authors: Kavitha R. , Durgadevi N.
Published: June 2022

In this paper, we apply a new approach to uterine contractions to a large panel of human pregnant non pregnant myometrial strips, treated or not by corticotropin releasing hormone (CRH). This model is based on a fine analysis of the contraction curves.This analysis yield four mathematical parameters beta, theta, tau1 and tau2 related to excitability, duration of plateau phase, and time constants for relaxation describing respectively, the different portions of the contraction cycle. This leads to specific differences in spontaneous contractile activity between pregnant and nonpregnant states. In the present study, we compare nonpregant and pregnant women close to the term vitro CRH myometrial responsiveness, to describe uterine contractile activity during a parturition. We have a Trivariate compound generalized Poisson model for uterine contraction to a pregnant and nonpregnant myometrial strips, treated or not treated by corticotrophin- releasing hormone (CRH). Although, the biochemical signification of these results remains to be elucidated, we contribute to emphasize CRH action at the myometrical level. The results reveal highly significant differences between pregnant and nonpregnant myometrium as well as in their response to CRH.
