The relationship between CrossFit performance and grip strength
Authors: HAYNES Emily , DEBELİSO Mark
Published: March 2019

There is a growing interest in maximizing CrossFit (CF) performance as the sport becomes more economically viable at elite levels. The ability to delineate the physiological demands of the sport of CF allows coaches and athletes to develop more efficacious exercise programming in order to maximize the athlete’s potential for success at the most elite and lucrative levels of competition. There is also a growing interest in increasing health and fitness in the general population as obesity and chronic disease rates continue to rise. Hand grip strength (HGS) is an indicator of total body strength, mortality, morbidity and independence among aging adults. Given that CF is the “Sport of Fitness”, it would be of interest to determine the relationship between HGS and CF performance. The current study examined the relationship between CF performance and hand grip strength (HGS). It was hypothesized that CF performance would have a meaningful significant relationship with HGS. Fifteen (n=15) female CF participants (age 30.9±7.1 years, height 160.3±4.8 cm, body mass 64.5±9.6 kg) of varying experience levels (51.9±30.6 months) were assessed for HGS and CF performance measures. The CF performance measures were assessed via a Workout of the Day (WOD) comprised of 3 rounds of 30 seconds at each of the following stations: fan bike (FB) for maximum calories, air squats (AS) for maximum repetitions, sit-ups (SU) for maximum repetitions, and burpees (BP) for maximum repetitions. Each 30 second work interval was followed by 2 minutes and 30 seconds of rest to ensure full recovery of the phosphagen energy system. Scores were reported as the mean number of repetitions completed across the 3 attempts at each movement station. Individual movements as well as total repetitions were then compared to HGS with Pearson correlation coefficients (r). Sit-up performance demonstrated a positive moderately (r=0.44) significant relationship with mean HGS (p<0.05). Neither total WOD performance nor any other individual movement had a significant relationship with HGS (p>0.05). Within the parameters of this study, CF participants exhibited a moderate relationship between HGS and sit-up scores.
Techniques d’exsufflation d’un pneumothorax

Published: March 2019

Les pneumothorax rencontrés aux urgences peuvent être d’origine spontanée ou traumatique. L’exsufflation est une méthode thérapeutique simple du pneumothorax spontané primitif. Cette technique consiste à réaliser une aspiration par l’intermédiaire d’un cathéter, sans que le matériel soit laissé en place. Elle permet une prise en charge ambulatoire du patient et répond à des enjeux de qualité des soins (efficacité, simplicité, sécurité) et d’économie de la santé (diminution de la durée et du taux d’hospitalisation). L’exsufflation peut être réalisée via différents dispositifs tout simples d’utilisation, par voie antérieure ou axillaire. L’exsufflation à l’aiguille avec des cathéters de perfusion intraveineux est peu recommandée devant le risque d’échec lié à une longueur de cathéter inadaptée à la morphologie du patient. Les usages de drains de faible calibre avec la méthode de Seldinger ou de kits dédiés de thoracentèse sont à privilégier. Les complications sont moindres comparées à la pose d’un drain thoracique. Il s’agit le plus souvent d’obstruction ou de déplacement du cathéter. L’exsufflation est également un geste de sauvetage à réaliser en urgence en cas de pneumothorax suffocant. La bonne maîtrise de l’une de ces techniques est donc indispensable dans le cadre de la formation et de la pratique en médecine d’urgence.

Published: March 2019

The article considers special features of time and space characteristics of the genre of travelogue. On the example of “Travel letters from England, Germany and France” by N.I. Grech the peculiarity of the space and time is demonstrated, its special nature is connected with the opposition of self identity and the other, which is characteristic for travelogues. Transformation of time and space depends on the author's assessment and the desire to show the country he is visiting and describing to the reader. Three chronotopes can be distinguished in the travelogue (events, history and culture) which is connected with the author's plan and his evaluation of the other. Depending of the country described by the travelling author both time and space can change significantly. England is represented by quickly changing pictures, time spent there is full of events. France - pondering over the past fame, Germany - idyllic memories. Linear movement in time, following strict chronological order of the events happening, following the route and plans is changed to sudden detours, falling into memories that represent the author's response to the environment. Special and unique dialogue with the other, important for travelogue, is reflected in the chronotope.

Communicating in a foreign language is impossible without mastering vocabulary. It is of special importance in English for Specific Purposes (further ESP) courses as requirements of modern realities in Kazakhstan force experts to know enough ESP vocabulary to be able to demonstrate their knowledge in their professional sphere. Since vocabulary plays such an important role in ESP courses it is essential to determine what strategies ensure effective teaching and learning it in specific groups of learners. This paper presents results of a study held on vocabulary teaching and learning strategies employed by ESP teachers and learners at L.N. Gumilyev Eurasian national university (further ENU) in Astana, Kazakhstan. An open-ended questionnaire and a semi-structured interview were conducted among 20 ESP teachers and 48 ESP students of L.N. Gumilyev ENU. The questions elicit not only teachers’ vocabulary teaching experiences and opinions about the most effective vocabulary teaching approaches but also the reasons for students’ vocabulary learning and using problems. During the interview students described their preferred vocabulary learning styles and confirmed the importance of learning vocabulary in ESP. The study determined the most effective ESP vocabulary teaching and learning strategies for teachers to use at L.N. Gumilyev Eurasian National University.
LEADERS DISCUSSION OF THE USSR, USA AND GREAT BRITAIN ABOUT THE PLACE AND TIME OF THE TRILATERAL MEETING IN 1943
Authors: Sukhanov M.S. , Garashchenkova A.N.
Published: March 2019

The article is devoted to the study of the process of preparation of the Tehran conference of leaders of the USSR, USA and Great Britain, held in the Iranian capital from November 28 to December 1, 1943. Based on the analysis of the trilateral correspondence of I.V. Stalin, F.D. Roosevelt and W. Churchill, the authors determine the objectives of the meeting and indicate the positions of the parties regarding the time and place of its holding. It is proved that each of the leaders wanted to organize a conference on the territory under their control, but the desire to resolve controversial issues prevailed over political ambitions, which was a decisive factor in rallying the allies of World War II to fight the aggressors. The novelty of the study is due to the lack of study in the domestic historiography of the organizational aspect of the Tehran conference, which in turn is extremely important for an objective understanding of how the conditions favorable for the adoption of crucial military and political decisions of the time and the development of initial projects of the post-war world order were achieved.

Authors: Swaran Singh Charanjit Kaur , Tek Ong Eng , Masa Singh Tarsame Singh
Published: March 2019

This paper discusses the importance of holistic assessment in the teaching and learning process at all levels of education, both in schools and in higher education institutions. Redesigning classroom assessment for holistic learning to improve student learning is not a new idea. Educators conduct assessment for a variety of purposes such as determining the level of student academic achievement or identifying weaknesses and strengths of students. Educators need to be equipped with ways to maintain these processes to determine the quality of student achievement. Assessment should reflect the understanding that learning is a complex process by engaging a varied selection of techniques, comprising those that require real and authentic performance, utilising them over a period so as to disclose evolution, progress, and emergent steps of integration. The assessment should be continuous and balanced. Implementing holistic assessment benefits the students, teachers and stakeholders. Educators should develop courses with diversified teaching and learning materials that enrich students’ learning experiences with appropriate and authentic activities. Holistic assessment ensures that curriculum is developed to relate to the real world requirement of the tasks and setting that demand thought-provoking conditions to challenge the students. This paper focuses on applying various assessment methods that need to be mastered by educators to ensure students benefit in terms of their personal growth, strength and their learning process. It also offers some recommendations that could help in augmenting assessment, teaching and learning.

Tax Strategies Employed by Overseas American Individuals and SMEs
Authors: Howard Miller Dr. Alfred
Published: March 2019

A study of the tax behavior of overseas Americans, both individuals and small firms is proposed. The researcher aims to discover and model behavior, through text analysis of data collected from a wide range of sources using interviews, surveys, blog and forum postings, published reports as well as personal communications, to demonstrate and inform using the pattern matching method initially proposed by Trochim (1989). Text mining and modeling techniques, using unsupervised machine learning facilitate large-scale analysis, and have been widely deployed in a range of language-based studies, driven by human-machine interaction. Major multinational corporations are excluded, and the study focuses on individuals and the smaller-scale juristic persons such as small and medium enterprises (SME). Behavioral approaches to taxation will motivate a better understanding of the phenomenon tax avoidance and tax evasion, once quantitative modeled. Overseas Americans are taxable, no matter where they reside globally, on the basis of having American citizenship. Non-citizens with a USA connection may also be subject to US taxes. The range of US taxable entities operating overseas include corporations, individuals, estates and trusts, and many of the small businesses filing as flow-through entities under the individual code, namely S-corporations, sole proprietorships, and partnerships, will be included in the study. There are an estimated 9 million taxable overseas Americans corporations and business entities. The Congressional Research Service (Gravelle, 2015), reported that as many as 100 billion U.S. dollars may go uncollected, due to tax evasion and a similar tax shortfall figure of 100 billion dollars is due to tax avoidance. Avoidance tends to be attributed to U.S. origin, multinational corporations and evasion by the smaller entities. The tax collection is exacerbated by changes to the 2018 tax code, which encourages compliance through tax cuts to a fixed 21% rate for the corporate sector, and reduced taxes for individual , opening up new avenues for aggressive tax avoidance strategies. A gap in the literature is the uncertainty regarding changing of the U.S. tax code in 2018 and how it will affect overseas American tax entities.

Published: March 2019

Uterine fibroid has been identified as one of the most prevailing health challenges among African women. Previous studies focused on the prevalence and prevention of fibroid among women in general, especially with regards to the biomedical science perspective. However, little attention has been given to social dimension of this medical condition particularly among Celibate-women. This study therefore investigated the prevalence and prevention of fibroid among Celibate-women, in the Catholic Ecclesiastical Province of Ibadan, Nigeria. The Data collection technique was triangulated, hence 375 questionnaires were administered on the Celibate-women through a total population sampling technique while key informant interview were conducted for 28 purposively selected respondents. Findings revealed a prevalence rate of 48.0% among the Celibate-women. No specific preventive measure against fibroid was reported; however 48.3% reported that they would have preferred traditional preventive medicine, while 35.2% indicated preference for orthodox medicine. There is high prevalence of fibroid among Celibate-women and its prevention is characterized by uncertainties among this group of women in the Catholic Ecclesiastical province of Ibadan. There is need to sensitize Celibate-women on the risk of fibroid.

Ovarian-type Tumors (Mullerian Tumors) of the Testis: Clinicopathologic Findings with Recent Advances
Authors: Lin Michelle S , Ayala Alberto G , Ro Jae Y
Published: March 2019

Ovarian-type epithelial tumors rarely occur in the human testis and paratesticular region. Histologically, these tumors closely resemble their ovarian counterparts and are therefore classified similarly to ovarian epithelial tumors. Most reported ovarian-type tumor cases are serous tumors, but the full spectrum of ovarian neoplasms has been described, including mucinous, endometrioid, clear cell, and Brenner tumors. In this review, we describe the clinical, morphologic, and immunohistochemical features of Mullerian-type epithelial tumors seen in the testis, with an emphasis on comparison with ovarian tumors. We also discuss theories of pathogenesis, considerations in the differential diagnosis, and recent advances in molecular characterization and therapeutic modalities.

Authors: Karpin V A , Gudkov A B , Usinin A F , Stolyarov V V
Published: March 2019

This report presents the results of the second stage of the study of complex biotropic effects of extreme environmental factors -heliogeomagnetic anomalies. Objective: to study the effect of heliogeomagnetic anomalies on the course of chronic visceral diseases in the environmental conditions of the Northern urban area on the example of Surgut city. Methods: Seasonal dynamics of the most important chronic diseases' recurrences were studied in 7 642 patients for a five-year period. The average monthly dynamic of "geomagnetic activity index" was also studied for the same period, which was calculated according to the average duration of geomagnetic storms in each month in days and according the average intensity in points. Results. A reliable direct correlation between the duration of heliogeomagnetic disturbances and the frequency of chronic visceral diseases' recurrences was revealed. The marked biopathogenic effects are realized through the change of patients' specific resistance. The assumption was made that heliogeomagnetic effect had a priority in the complex of various extreme environmental factors. Conclusions. Total average monthly dynamic of heliogeomagnetic rises and falls plays a significant role in the seasonal recurring of chronic visceral diseases. Extreme effect of vibrational dynamics of heliogeomagnetic activity on the human organism comes against the background of meteorological factors or by means of the latter.

Published: March 2019

Aim of the study - to identify the specific features of anger manifestation in extreme and crisis states in different social groups. The paper presents the analysis of literary sources on the problem of studying the features of human experience of extreme and crisis conditions. The results of the empiric study are given. 170 people were differentiated into three empiric groups: group 1 (50) - employees of the special unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia in the Novosibirsk region, group 2 (70) - patients of oncology department of the City Hospital № 1, Novosibirsk and group 3 (50) - control group («relative norm»). Methods: using one-way ANOVA test differences were identified between the groups according to parameters of anger and aggression manifestation and human personality. Results. The study showed that for subjects of group 1 was typical to control anger manifestations because uncontrolled emotional expression in the professional activity of law enforcement officials was unacceptable. Besides, the activity specificity in the extreme conditions allows to search another way for feeling discharge, in particular, aggressive emotions. In group 2, anger is one of the classic emotions experienced by subjects with oncological pathology and constitutes a structural element of the internal picture of the disease, and also is one of the factors determining the genesis of oncological pathology. Subjects of group 3 are characterized by a periodically experienced state of anger, which manifests itself in various forms and allows to reduce the emerging emotional tension and regain the lost control over the situation. Conclusions. The obtained results can be used in programs development aimed at working with anger in the law enforcement and health care systems, vocational selection, as well as in consulting and psychotherapeutic practice.
Людська гідність у системі конституційних цінностей
Authors: ШЕВЧУК СТАНІСЛАВ
Published: March 2019

Людська гідність посідає визначальну роль у системі конституційних цінностей. Будучи ядром кожного конституційного права, формує та транслює уявлення про людину як унікальну самовизначену істоту, яка не перебуває під владою держави, формує повагу до внутрішнього світу людини, її місце у суспільстві та взаємовідносини з державою. Зі свого боку право на повагу до людської гідності кореспондує з визнанням людини найвищою соціальною цінністю, що унеможливлює тлумачення людини інструментально, лише як об’єкт державної волі. Метою статті є аналіз людської гідності в системі конституційних цінностей через призму історичних детермінант та сучасних політико-правових реалій. За підсумками проведеного аналізу виділено основні аспекти, які дають змогу тлумачити людську гідність як інтегративну категорію, яка визначає, наскільки повсякденне існування людини в конкретному соціумі відповідає її природі та високому призначенню у світі. Серед таких аспектів, зокрема: свобода як можливість вільно діяти відповідно до власної волі; достатній життєвий рівень, який забезпечує гідне існування людини; можливість вибору в духовній та інтелектуальній сфері, можливість формування власного світогляду та духовного світу; аспект безпеки і захищеності людини від посягань та ін. Право на повагу до людської гідності практично в усіх конституційних системах, зокрема і в нашій, є абсолютним, як і право на життя. А це означає, що держава не може встановлювати обмеження права на реалізацію людської гідності. На інші права – так, на них і було встановлено ці критерії обмеження законом. Зокрема, Конституційний Суд України відзначив, що обмеження щодо реалізації конституційних прав і свобод не можуть бути свавільними та несправедливими, вони мають встановлюватися виключно Конституцією і законами України, мати легітимну мету, бути обумовленими суспільною необхідністю досягнення цієї мети, пропорційними та обґрунтованими, у разі обмеження конституційного права або свободи законодавець зобов’язаний запровадити таке правове регулювання, яке дасть можливість оптимально досягти легітимної мети з мінімальним втручанням у реалізацію цього права або свободи і не порушувати сутнісний зміст такого права. По суті, ядро кожного конституційного права – це людська гідність. Що стосується обмежень – це критерії, які було сформульовано імпліцитно. Є й експліцитні обмеження, які фіксуються у тексті конституції. Це стосується саме тих законів, які вводять обмеження і втручаються у права людини. У цьому полягає основне навантаження конституційної скарги – оцінити закони, які обмежують права людини. Мається на увазі реалізація прав людини, що є сутнісним ядром права, без якого воно не може бути правом, і чи не атакують певні закони це ядро. Натомість людська гідність – це те, без чого людина не може бути людиною.

У сучасній конституційній доктрині і практиці органів конституційної юрисдикції особливе значення надається поняттю людської гідності як основи ціннісного порядку. Однак воно, яке зараз сприймається як аксіома, є продуктом повоєнної епохи. Коли і за яких обставин поняття “гідність” набуло сучасного змісту в конституційному праві? Які фактори, міркування та обґрунтування призвели до появи цього терміна в конституційних текстах? Яким чином людська гідність набула такого особливого значення? Метою статті є дослідити виникнення і становлення конституційного поняття “людська гідність”, визначення його витоків і причин, що за досить короткий час призвели до визнання особливого конституційного значення людської гідності у повоєнному конституціоналізмі. Конституційне поняття людської гідності і, власне, сама ідея дигнитарного конституціоналізму зароджуються у 30-ті роки ХХ ст. у католицькій політичній думці. Парадокс полягає в тому, що його виникнення стало наслідком несприйняття і заперечення як ліберального доробку Великих революцій XVIII ст. у міжвоєнний період, так і екстремізму комуністичних і нацистських режимів. Хоча ідея людської гідності має тривалу історію в європейській релігійній думці, появою в конституційному тексті вона завдячує енцикліці Папи Пія ХІ “Divini Redemptoris”, в якій формулюється ідея соціальної справедливості, в основі якої стоїть вже не колектив чи громада, а особа. Така переорієнтація гідності в католицькій політичній доктрині з колективної кваліфікації (гідність родини, працівників) на індивідуальну (гідність людини, людська гідність) стала тим важливим інструментом, що проклав дорогу поняттю гідності людини до конституційної доктрини і практики, а саме сприяв появі цього терміна в преамбулі Конституції Ірландії 1937 р. Авторитет Святого Престолу пояснює, чому ідеї свободи і людської гідності також були проголошені найвищими цінностями і священним благом у конституційних текстах таких авторитарних держав, як вішистська Франція і франкістська Іспанія, а також у конституціях Латинської Америки. Виникнення нового значення людської гідності в повоєнних конституціях континентальної Європи також засвідчує переосмислення самої ідеї представницької демократії, спробу запровадити надійні запобіжники проти мажоритарного фатуму демократії.

10 грудня 1948 р. після ретельної підготовчої роботи та довготривалого обговорення окремих статей 48 державами – членами Організації Об’єднаних Націй була урочисто прийнята та проголошена Загальна декларація прав людини (Декларація). Нині день прийняття цього документа, який, без сумніву, став наріжним каменем сучасних всесвітньої та регіональних систем захисту прав людини, щорічно святкується у всьому світі як День прав людини. Зокрема, 10 грудня 2018 р. людство святкуватиме 70-річчя прийняття Декларації. Для України це святкування має особливе значення: є підстави вважати, що ще задовго до подій Другої світової війни, які безпосередньо спричинили прийняття цього акта, українські науковці – випускники юридичного факультету Львівського університету безпосередньо долучилися до формування ідеології та системи прав людини, які на 90 % визначили зміст і структуру Декларації. Імена цих науковців – Г. Лаутерпахт і Р. Лемкін. У статті здійснено загальнотеоретичний аналіз впливу Декларації на становлення сучасної системи міжнародних, зокрема європейських, актів з прав людини. В основу дослідження покладено гіпотезу про те, що, з одного боку, головні ідеї Декларації є загалом ідеологічною основою Хартії основних прав Європейського Союзу (Хартія ЄС), а з другого – норми зазначеної Хартії ЄС якісно розвивають положення Декларації, забезпечуючи змістовну конкретизацію прав та свобод людини і створюючи більш ефективні передумови їх юридичного гарантування. Метою статті є, зважаючи на складність і багатогранність означених питань, нагальна потреба у подальших наукових розвідках із цієї проблематики, зокрема в аспекті впливу Декларації на ідейну спрямованість та правозахисні принципи Хартії ЄС. Одним із завдань дослідження є з’ясування питомої ваги відображення ціннісних орієнтацій, закладених в основу Декларації (зокрема, таких як гідність людини, взаємозалежність, неподільність фундаментальних прав людини, спрямованість усіх категорій прав людини на створення належних умов існування та розвитку індивіда) у Хартії ЄС. Відтак у статті застосовано діалектичний, порівняльно-правовий, конкретно-історичний підходи дослідження. Зазначені вище методологічні принципи, на нашу думку, дають змогу простежити “генетичну спорідненість” норм Декларації із положеннями Хартії ЄС, а також максимально реалістично оцінити та розробити відповідну програму адаптації законодавства України до праволюдинних стандартів ЄС.

Phenotyping is a modern technology that allows registering and analyzing data about living systems phenotypes in automatic mode. In recent years a high-efficiency higher plants phenotyping with the aim of deep study of the physiological and biochemical bases of their functioning, as well as selection of new high-yielding and stress-resistant varieties has acquired significant development. It is based on adaptation and introduction of modern information approaches such as algorithms of «computer vision» and allows receiving detailed information about plants phenomes at various organization levels. One of the unreached research sections in this field is tree plant cuttings phenotyping, which represents a great practical interest. In this work the system of phenotyping of green stem cuttings of woody plants Thuja occidentalis L. (Smaragd), Juniperus scopulorum Sarg. (Blue Arrow), Picea Abies L., H. Karst. was developed using machine vision algorithms and spectral analysis. A modular phenomics complex was created. It consist of phenomics box, plant cultivation system, lighting and watering systems, as well as system of registration and processing of RGB-images, including software. This complex has been tested in the laboratory and in field conditions. The initial testing of the phenomics complex was carried out. It showed that the data of changes in the pixel distribution of RGB-images by wavelengths can be the basis for estimating the size and physiological state of stem cuttings of woody plants. It was shown that the shift of the spectral curve of the reflected light into the long-wave area under the influence of water deficit allows to non-invasive and statistically reliably register the death of some cells. At the same time, statistically reliable distinctions have not been revealed at testing of influence of phytohormones (auxins and brassinosteroids) on rooting of stem cuttings of coniferous species. The obtained results have a fundamental practical significance and can be used in the research of physiological processes in higher plants, ornamental crop production and forestry.

The diel growth of tomato and capsicum leaves under laboratory conditions was studied. Plant growth was monitored by DISP – digital image sequence processing method. Under round-the-clock lighting mode in both species was observed more or less permanent growth of leaves. When lighting mode of 12/12 h (day/night) was applied growth curves have changed dramatically. The maximum increment at a capsicum was registered at the beginning of night whereas at a tomato the maximum increment was observed for the second half of night and early morning. The obtained results show photoperiodism can play triggering role for inner circadian clock that control processes of cell proliferation and differentiation in leaves of plants.

Sickle cell disease is a major public health issue in sub-Saharan Africa, with Nigeria having the largest absolute numbers of young people living with sickle cell disease. Research in the Global North suggests that young people with sickle cell disease are not well supported at school, whilst research in the Global South focuses on attitudes to the identification of genetic carriers to prevent births of children with sickle cell disease, rather than support of those with the sickle cell disease condition itself. Between 2015 and 2017 a randomized controlled trial based on one hour education session for school teachers, based on information contained in a guide to school policy on sickle cell disease, was conducted with 402 young people with sickle cell disease across 314 schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. Young people with sickle cell disease in both intervention group and control groups showed significant decreases in the number of days of school absence and in self-reported indicators of lack of support, and significant increases in self-reported indicators of school support. The results suggest a breakdown of the randomization, probably because the young people with sickle cell disease all reacted positively to researchers taking an interest in their welfare in a context where they would usually be heavily stigmatized and would be inclined to hide their sickle cell disease status from others at school. In conclusion, conditions conducive to conducting successful research on sickle cell disease in this context - increased self-esteem in young people with sickle cell disease, reduction in within-school stigmatizing attitudes, and commitment by policy makers to improve the situation of young people in schools – are the very factors that would improve the experiences of young people living with sickle cell disease at school in Lagos, Nigeria. The fact that positive changes did occur warrants further research on this topic.

Sucul ekosistemlerin ağır metallerle
kirlenmesi, sediment ve yüzey sularındaki birincil üretimi, nitrojen
fiksasyonunu, karbon, azot, fosfor mineralizasyonu ile enzim sentez ve
aktivitelerini önlemektedir. Bu bağlamda ağır metaller gerek toksik etkileri
gerekse sedimentte ve besin zinciri boyunca birikme potansiyelleri nedeniyle
özellikle iç su ekosistemlerinin sürdürülebilirliği açısından önem
taşımaktadır. Ekosistemin önemli bir bileşeni olan sedimentte, antropojenik
kaynaklı metal girdisinin belirlenmesine ilişkin farklı yöntemler bulunmaktadır.
Türkiye’de su-sedimentteki ağır metal seviyelerine ilişkin çalışmalar, deniz ve
göllerde yoğunlaşmış olup baraj göllerinde konuya yönelik nispeten sınırlı
sayıda çalışma mevcuttur. Bu derleme
çalışmasında, ülkemizdeki baraj göllerinde su-sedimentte ağır metal kirlenmesi
odaklı 2000’li yıllardan sonraki güncel araştırmaların özetlenerek bir araya
getirilmesi ve araştırmalar ışığında genel bir değerlendirmenin yapılması amaçlanmıştır.
Özellikle iç sularda kafeslerde balık yetiştiriciliğinin yaygınlaşması nedeniyle
de konuya dikkat çekilmek istenmiştir.
GÖL EKOSİSTEMLERİNDE SEDİMENTTE FOSFOR SORPSİYON MEKANİZMASI
Authors: TOPÇU Akasya , PULATSÜ Serap
Published: March 2019

Sucul sistemlerde sedimentteki fosfor sorpsiyonu,
sediment-su arası fosfor dinamiği ve hareketliliğinin belirlenmesinde
kullanılan ana mekanizmadır. Bu
mekanizma sedimentte fosforun adsorpsiyon ve desorpsiyon süreçlerini kapsar. Sedimentte
uzun dönemli fosfor adsorpsiyon oranınının tahmini ise fosfor kirlenmesi ve göl
yönetim uygulamalarının belirlenmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Sedimentteki adsorpsiyon-desorpsiyon olaylarını açıklamak için
geliştirilmiş birçok eşitlik bulunmaktadır. Deneysel çalışmalara dayanan bu
eşitliklerden Freundlich ve Langmiur izotermleri, sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Sucul sistemlerde
sediment-sediment üstü su arası adsorpsiyon ve desorpsiyon değerlerinin
birbirine eşit olması olarak tanımlanan denge fosfat konsantrasyonu (EPC0);
dış kaynaklı fosfor yüklemesindeki azalmayı takiben, iç kaynaklı yükleme
potansiyelinin belirlenmesi ya da fosfor salınım ve/veya tutulum düzeyinin
tespiti için kullanılan önemli bir parametredir. Bu çalışmada farklı sucul
sistemlerde sediment fosfor sorpsiyonu tahmininde kullanılan bazı eşitlikler ele
alınmış ve sorpsiyonda etkili fiziko-kimyasal parametreler özetlenmiştir.
