Okul Müdürlerine Göre Okulda Yönetmesi Zor Durumlar ve Yönetme Stratejileri
Authors: KOÇ Erman , ATMACA Taner
Published: September 2022

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı okul müdürlerinin görüş ve deneyimlerine göre okullarda yönetmesi zor olarak tanımlanan durumların neler olduğunu belirlemektir. Ayrıca diğer bir amaç ise yönetmesi zor durumlar karşısında okul müdürlerinin ne gibi stratejiler ürettiğini ortaya çıkarmaktır. Bu çalışmada nitel araştırma geleneği içerisinde yer alan bütüncül tekli durum modeli kullanılmıştır. Araştırma grubunu Düzce ili Gölyaka ilçesinde görev yapan toplam on bir okul müdürü meydana getirmektedir. Veriler içerik analiziyle çözümlenmiştir. Araştırma bulgular toplam üç tema içermektedir. Bu temalar sırasıyla yönetmesi zor durumlar, üretilen stratejiler ve yönetmesi zor durumlara örnekler şeklindedir. Bulgular, yönetmesi zor durumlarda en çok öğretmenler arası çatışmayı, iletişim sorunlarından kaynaklı gerilimleri, madde ve insan kaynağı eksikliğini göstermektedir. Okul müdürlerinin yönetmesi zor durumlar karşısında birleştirme ve işbirliği, uyma ve itaat etme, hükmetme ve üstünlük kurma, kaçınma, uzlaşma ve karşılıklı ödün verme gibi stratejiler kullandıkları belirlenmiştir. Müdürlerin çatışma yönetme becerilerinin güçlendirilmesi, iletişim yeterliklerinin artırılması, olağanüstü durumlarda duygularını kontrol edebilmesi, mesleki ve yönetsel niteliklerinin güçlendirilmesi yönetmesi zor durumların üstesinden gelmeyi kolaylaştırabilir.

Published: September 2022

This study is based on the perspective that considering students’ learning styles in the design and development of learning material is crucial. Furthermore, by considering the promises offered by CLIL (content and language integrated learning) – as reported in many scholarly-published articles – claiming that CLIL is effective in addressing the learning of content and language, this study attempts to explore and examine the effects of taking into account students’ learning style in the design and development of English speaking model. A total of 39 6th-semester students participated in the study. In dealing with the design of a hybrid CLIL-based speaking model, the 4D model was applied. This publication is restricted to informing the implementation and assessment phases. Diagnostic and achievement tests reveal that significant difference exists – meaning that the participants successfully enhance their speaking scores. This study suggests English teachers and lecturers involve students’ learning preferences as one of the key aspects of speaking material design and development as it potentially enhances participants' academic achievement.

Published: September 2022

Objective: We evaluated the effects of microclimate temperature on the subjective and objective sleep quality of healthy young adults. For this purpose, we maintained a constant ambient temperature and manipulated the mattress temperature to change the microclimate.Methods: We enrolled 34 healthy young adults (12 males and 22 females; mean age: 24.06±2.70 years). Data from 26 individuals were analyzed (8 males and 18 females; mean age: 23.46±2.40 years). Nocturnal polysomnography (nPSG) was performed and self-reported questionnaires were completed at an ambient temperature of 27°C and mattress temperature of 28°C, 30°C, or 32°C.Results: The subjective sleep satisfaction was lower at a mattress temperature of 32°C than at 28°C. The subjective sleep latency was longer at 32°C than at 30°C. The number of respondents that selected sleep environment (including temperature) as the cause of sleep dissatisfaction was greater at higher temperatures. Participants felt that the mattress temperature was the least cool when they woke up at 32° than 30°C. Furthermore, they reported that the sleep latency at 32°C was longer than the other temperatures compared to usual sleep, and that they had more frequent awakenings at 32°C than at 28°C. The nPSG results showed that the proportion of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep was lower at 28°C than at 30°C.Conclusion: A high microclimate temperature caused by a high mattress temperature was associated with poor subjective sleep quality. Mattress temperature was also related to the objective proportion of REM sleep; however, the results are inconsistent with previous findings. Additional large-scale studies that evaluate a wider temperature range are required.

Published: September 2022

Objective: Seasonal variations in mood and behavior and diurnal preference are associated with several genes that regulate circadian rhythms. In this study, we investigated the association of the NPAS2 rs6725296 polymorphism with seasonality and diurnal preference.Methods: A total of 510 healthy subjects were genotyped for the NPAS2 rs6725296 polymorphism and completed self-report questionnaires on seasonality and diurnal preferences. Seasonality was evaluated using the seasonal pattern assessment questionnaire, and diurnal preference was evaluated using the Composite Scale of Morningness (CSM). We assessed the association of genotype and allele carrier status with the total and subscale scores of global seasonality scores (GSS) for seasonality and the total and subscale scores of CSM for diurnal preference.Results: No significant associations were found between the NPAS2 rs6725296 genotype and the allele carrier status and the GSS and CSM scores.Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the NPAS2 rs6725296 polymorphism may not contribute to seasonality and diurnal preference in healthy Koreans. More studies with a larger number of subjects, inclusion of different ethnic groups, and complementation with objective measurements of seasonality and diurnal preference are necessary to evaluate the influence of genetics on seasonality and diurnal preference.

Sialolithiasis perforating the floor of mouth: a case report
Authors: ERDOĞAN Osman
Published: September 2022

Sialolithiasis is the most common disease of the salivary gland. It is most commonly found in the submandibular gland, but less frequently in the parotid and sublingual glands. The submandibular gland is more prone to sialolithiasis than the parotid gland, because Wharton’s canal is wider and longer, it angulates against gravity at the posterior border of the mylohyoid muscle and submandibular gland secretion is more alkaline, mucinous, richer in calcium and phosphate and slower flow rate. In this case report, a patient whose floor of the mouth mucosa was perforated by a sialolith was presented. Although sialoliths are infrequently seen, they cause severe recurrent infections and pain in patients and adversely affect the quality of life. Therefore, the clinician should consider submandibular sialolithiasis in case of foreign body sensation in the floor of the mouth or swelling under the chin associated with a meal.

تعد الموضوعية القاسم المشترك بين صفات وعناصر الخبر الصحفي الذي يوصف بأم الفنون الصحفية , فعندما يكون هناك شكا في صحة المعلومات الواردة في الصحافة سواء كانت مقروءة او مسموعة او مرئية

فأن ذلك يعني خللا في الموضوعية , وعندما يكون هناك استخدام غير صحيح ومقصود للكلمات بهدف التأثير على القراء فأن ذلك يعني الابتعاد عن الموضوعية فهي عنصر ضروري في نجاح المؤسسة الاعلامية ونجاح مادتها التحريرية .

ولكن تفسير تاموضوعية قد يأخذ عدة ابعاد عند القائم بالاتصال , ولغرض الوقوف على تفسير النوضوعية لدى القائمين بالاتصال في المؤسسات الاعلامية العراقية جاء هذا البحث ليسلط الضوء على موضوعا يتداوله الجميع الا ان التحديد الدقيق للتفسير المتفق عليه لم يكن واضحا ولذلك تنحصر مشكلة البحث في التعرف على تفسير الموضوعية  الاكثر اتفاقا لدى القائم بالاتصال في المؤسسات الاعلامية العراقية .

Islamophobic Tendencies And The Otherized Ottoman In Theater Plays From The Ottoman Empire To The Republic (1860-1950)
Authors: AYDEMİR Bünyamin
Published: September 2022

Islamophobia has been among the most emphasized concepts in various parts of the world for almost a quarter of a century, especially in the West. The idea, similarly discussed in Islamic countries, draws attention as a product of understandings in which orientalist and self-orientalist perspectives are determinant. Based on the alterity and hostility of a particular segment through the production of a fictionalized image, this approach is the name of an attitude and behavior that has continued in Turkey since the Tanzimat Period. The attempts to ensure that the masses accept the official (Kemalist) ideology in the nation-identity building process, which started mainly after the establishment of the Republic, entails the otherization of "Ottoman" and "Islam" and injecting Islamophobic elements into the masses and revealing the negative image of Islam were among the most used strategies. At this point, it can be asserted that art, in particular, and theater, in general, were strongly instrumentalized, and the texts of the plays were structured directly or indirectly with Islamophobic tendencies for this purpose. Thus, this situation, predominant in the early phase of the Republic, continued to be the dominant tendency of humorous plays in the later periods.

Published: September 2022

Background and Objectives The aims of this study were to clarify the impact of adenoidal extension toward the choana on the quality of life and to find differences in radiographic parameters between patients needing additional excision with a 90-degree tip and those who only require a 40-degree debrider tip.Subjects and Method Patients who underwent adenoidectomy with both 40-degree and 90-degree debrider tips were defined as the difficult-to-treat (DTT) group. Patients who underwent adenoidectomy using only a 40-degree debrider tip were defined as the control group. We measured the antroadenoidal distance, the adenoidal nasopharyngeal ratio (ANR), the length from the adenoid to hard palate, and reviewed the Korean Obstructive Sleep Apnea-18 (KOSA-18) scale scores.Results There was no difference in the quality of life due to OSA between the DTT and control groups, pre- and post-operatively. Correlation analysis between the antroadenoidal distance and the pre-operative KOSA-18 scale scores revealed a negative correlation. The antroadenoidal distance was shorter in the DTT group; however, a cut-off value could not be obtained. The ANR was a statistically discriminatory, but not effective, factor.Conclusion There was no difference in the KOSA-18 scale scores between the groups with the adenoidal extension toward the choana and the control. The ANR should be considered in the pre-operative radiographic evaluation but is not a diagnostic parameter for choanal extension. Further studies to find additional parameters are necessary.

Authors: Woo Joo Young , Kwon Soon Bok , Koh Tae Kyung , Ji Chang Lok , Koo Soo Kweon
Published: September 2022

Background and Objectives The most common cause of snoring in children is enlarged tonsils and adenoids. However, there is insufficient evidence to determine whether the subjective measurement of tonsil hypertrophy, the most common prevailing method, reflects the actual tonsil size and volume. Therefore, we tried to determine whether the subjective grading of tonsil size and actual tonsil volume is related, and whether tonsil volume, weight, and adenoid index are correlated with the acoustic analysis of snoring.Subjects and Method The study was conducted on 21 children between the ages of 4 and 15 who came for tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy due to snoring symptoms. The degree of adenotonsillar hypertrophy was measured using the Brodsky grading scale and adenoid index. After tonsillectomy, the volume and weight of resected tonsil were measured. For acoustic analysis, the Praat software was used to determine formant frequency and sound intensity. A linear regression model and a dummy variable were used to determine the correlation between the quantitative values of tonsil, adenoid and the result of acoustic analysis.Results The Brodsky tonsil grade tended to match the actual tonsil volume, but it was not statistically significant (p=0.073). There was no correlation between snoring intensity and actual tonsil volume, weight, and adenoid index. Formant frequency 1 and 2 were statistically negatively correlated with the actual tonsil volume (p=0.011, 0.002).Conclusion The study confirmed that the acoustic analysis of pediatric snoring could be a screening test to predict tonsil volume and changes in the vocal tract due to tonsil hypertrophy.
Effect of Body Mass Index on Upper Airway Obstruction as Revealed by Drug-Induced Sleep Endoscopy in Patients With Sleep-Disordered Breathing
Authors: Woo Joo Young , Koo Soo Kweon , Koh Tae Kyung , Ji Chang Lok
Published: September 2022

Background and Objectives Drug-induced sleep endoscopy (DISE) usefully determines the sites of airway obstruction in patients with sleep-disordered breathing. It is widely accepted that obesity increases obstructive sleep apnea. However, no study has explored how and where obesity causes obstructions. In this study, we described the patterns of upper airway obstruction revealed by DISE in patients of various body mass indices (BMIs) with sleep-disordered breathing.Subjects and Method All subjects had sleep-disordered breathing and underwent DISE. Endoscopic findings at the retropalatal (upper lateral, upper anteroposterior [AP]) and retrolingual (lower lateral, lower AP) levels were graded; obstruction was complete (2), partial (1), or none (0). Subjects with BMI <25 (<25 group), 25≤BMI<30 (25<30 group), and ≥30 kg/m2 (>30 group) were compared using a dummy variable; to this end, we employed R ver. 4.0.5.Results For the total of 153 patients reviewed, the mean age was 43.1±12.2 years and the mean BMI was 26.0±3.4 kg/m2. At the retropalatal AP level, the DISE grade was significantly higher in the 25<30 group than in the <25 group (p=0.029) but not in the >30 group (p=0.248). At the retropalatal lateral level, significant increases were evident in both of the higher BMI groups (p=0.06 and p=0.024, respectively). No significant relationship was found at the retrolingual level.Conclusion In terms of the retropalatal AP and lateral diameters, a higher BMI is associated with a greater incidence of more severe obstruction.
In Vitro Studies on the Role of Zinc Oxide in the Development of Aspergillus Fumigatus Biofilm on Nasal Epithelial Cells

Published: September 2022

Background and Objectives Fungal biofilm is commonly found in non-invasive fungal rhinosinusitis. Previous endodontic maxillary teeth treatments have increased fungus ball development in the maxillary sinus. We sought to evaluate the effects of zinc oxide (ZnO), the main component of endodontic sealers, on developing the Aspergillus fumigatus biofilms on primary human nasal epithelial cells.Subjects and Method Primary human nasal epithelial cells were cultured with A. fumigatus spores with (1 and 3 µg/mL) or without ZnO for 72 h. Interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1 levels in cultural supernatant were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. ZnO’s effects on the formation of A. fumigatus biofilm were determined using crystal violet, safranin, concanavalin A staining, and confocal scanning laser microscopy.Results IL-6, IL-8, and TGF-β1 protein levels in primary human nasal epithelial cells increased significantly by A. fumigatus exposure. During coculturing with ZnO and A. fumigatus, biofilm dry weight, crystal violet, safranin, and concanavalin A staining intensity increased with time. On the other hand, ZnO did not enhance A. fumigatus biofilm formation.Conclusion A. fumigatus biofilm formation increased in the presence of primary human nasal epithelial cells. However, in vitro study, ZnO alone did not influence or aggravate biofilm formation in sinonasal mucosa.
Tools adapted to Ethical Analysis of Data Bias

Published: September 2022

Data Bias, a bias embedded in data during collection, storing, and use, and in the apps used by a human, is an emerging issue of data privacy exemplified by Artificial Intelligence bias (AI bias). This issue is becoming gradually an added vulnerability to data ethics, an added threat to data security, and an added burden to data protection. It has an effect to induce a reduction in data protection expenditure, and is crucial to the success of any creative endeavours in the data-driven technology-intensive era, including Engineering, exemplified by AI bias, and AI bias is bias created when biased data creeps in during design, development, and training of AI algorithms. AI indeed culminates in a phenomenon in which the populace jumps, yet a sober minority steers away from because of the pervasive cyber-threats that AI bias raises. At issue is not data bias per se, nor the multi-dimensional issues induced by human bias, which are usually complex and slippery, but a need for a method to enable a holistic view covering the technical, financial, legal, social, ethical, and ecological aspects of a given problem, action, policy, or decision. Recommendable is a method composed of the Ethical Matrix Algorithm and Hexa-dimension Metric Algorithm (Lee, forthcoming) based respectively on the Ethical Matrix and Hexa-dimension Metric (Lee, 2021).
Pan-oceanic distribution of mercury (Hg) in sea turtles: a review
Authors: Rodriguez CAB , de Lacerda LD , Bezerra MF
Published: September 2022

With no known biological function, mercury (Hg) is highly toxic, bio-accumulates, and biomagnifies up the food web. Long-living marine animals, such as sea turtles, can be exposed to Hg in the oceans. The wide distributions of these reptiles and lifespans compatible with Hg residence time in ocean surface waters (approximately 30 yr) makes them reliable biological monitors of the long-term changes in Hg concentrations in the oceans. Taking this into consideration, we conducted a thorough review of studies to compare the concentrations of Hg in the 7 species of sea turtles distributed in different regions of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans and the Mediterranean Sea. Hg concentrations in muscle and scutes of Chelonia mydas were highest in the South Atlantic, whereas the highest concentrations found in Caretta caretta occurred in the Mediterranean Sea. The differences could be associated with the feeding habits of each species and the characteristics of the environment, such as the oligotrophic nature of the water and the lower productivity in the Mediterranean Sea. Unfortunately, few studies exist for the other 5 sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea, Eretmochelys imbricata, Lepidochelys olivacea, L. kempii, and Natator depressus), which hampers a more detailed regional or ecological comparison among species. The results found in this review reveal information gaps that should be filled through more numerous studies focused on different oceanic regions and species.

Character is an important thing that must exist in every human being. Because humans who havecharacter will be able to bring themselves to participate actively in society and be able to contributeto the development of the nation and state to be more advanced. In addition, good character canlead a person to have a good personality and also be useful for the people around him. This thesisaims to determine the concept of character education according to Ki Hajar Dewantara. As we knowthat Ki Hajar Dewantara is a national education figure and is known as the Father of Education.This thesis uses a qualitative descriptive approach and the type of research used is library research.This research is sourced from primary and secondary data sources. Primary data is the main andimportant data that is directly related to the thoughts of the characters. The primary data sourcecomes from the book by Ki Hajar Dewantara. While secondary data is an indirect source of data,in the form of library materials that have the same study produced by other thinkers. The secondarydata comes from books, journals and articles related to character education according to Ki HajarDewantara. The data collection technique is carried out by collecting data from the exploration oflibrary materials both from primary and secondary data sources which are studied holistically, thenanalyzed based on a certain framework of thinking or theory/philosophical paradigm that underliesit, while the data analysis used is content analysis ( content analysis). The results of this study can beconcluded that the concept of character education according to Ki Hajar Dewantara is a concept thatuses an approach to the soul of the learner, without going through coercion and based on the nature ofnature. Ki Hajar Dewantara’s concept of character education focuses on character education in threeeducational centers, namely the family realm, the education realm, and the youth movement realm.As well as using materials that are adapted to the age level of students, and using a method known asthe Among system which consists of Momong, Among and Ngemong. This character education aims tomake students become independent human beings physically and mentally

Предложена методика определения истинной относительной площади адгезионного и когезионного соединений при проведении испытаний по установлению прочности сцепления облицовочных плиток с основанием при осевом растяжении, согласно действующему государственному стандарту с использованием фотограмметрии. Представлен альтернативный способ определения площади сцепления плиток с основанием на основе создания фотограмметрических моделей плиток после испытания с последующим нахождением истинных относительных площадей свободной поверхности плитки (без следов адгезионного или когезионного соединения), а также истинных относительных площадей адгезионного и когезионного соединений. Проведена апробация разработанной методики на образцах с различными характерными особенностями поверхности после испытания. Установлено, что при определении прочности сцепления традиционным методом полученные результаты могут быть в значительной степени занижены из-за разницы в определении площади сцепления. Разработаны и сформулированы общие требования и подходы рассмотренной новой методики с использованием фотограмметрии. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы для уточнения существующих методик проведения испытаний прочности сцепления и корректировки нормативной документации.

This research developed polymer grouts made from wastes such as fly ash, palm oil fuel ash, and silica fume. The selected polymer grouts served as an interlocking key between the StormPav covers and as a grout to seal the gaps between the interlocking keys and StormPav covers. Based on compressive strength and workability of the polymer grouts, mix ratio of resin to fly ash = 1:1.00 was chosen as the grout, while mix ratio of resin to fly ash = 1:1.50 was used to form an interlocking key. Mix ratios of resin to fly ash = 1:1.00 and resin to fly ash = 1:1.50 had a compressive strength of 98.90 MPa and 81.70 MPa, respectively, and flexural strength of 53.00 MPa and 61.90 MPa. Moreover, increasing the fly ash content in polymer grout decreased the water absorption and volume of permeable voids. In terms of shear strength, the mix ratio of resin to fly ash = 1:1.00 performed well as grout, with a determined shear strength of 3.98 MPa. Even after 25 days of exposure to the high concentration of sodium hydroxide, sulphuric acid, sodium chloride, and magnesium sulphate, the determined shear strength met the minimum shear strength requirement of 1.38 MPa as stated by the Iowa Department of Transportation. Therefore, it can be concluded that both selected mix ratios were suitable for use as grout and interlocking key due to their good physical and mechanical properties.

Introduction. Hydraulic calculation of bridges is one of the most important stages in determining its basic geometric parameters. Therefore, it should be based on the exact equations of hydraulics that characterize the behavior of water flow. Currently, the hydraulic calculation of a small bridge is based on an empirically established dependence, which is that the compressed depth under the bridge hc is associated with the support H approximate dependence hc ≈ 0,5H and is independent of the compression of the flow bridge crossing. In this work, it is theoretically proved that taking such a relationship between depths, you can get quite large inaccuracies in determining the depth in the compressed section hc, and hence in determining the speed in the calculated cross section of the bridgehead. Results. Based on the three basic laws of physics, namely: the law of conservation of mass (continuity equation), the law of conservation of energy (Bernoulli equation), the law of momentum (equation of the momentum change theorem), obtained an analytical relationship that establishes a relationship between compressed depth parameters hc and support H at different degrees of flow compression ε. Based on this dependence, an equation was obtained that establishes the relationship between the flow rate Q and the pressure in front of the bridge H. The obtained equation is similar in form to the flow equation through a wide-threshold spillway, with the difference that the flow coefficient m(ε) in the obtained equation depends on the degree of flow compression. Conclusions. The equation for determining the flow rate through the opening of a small bridge taking into account the flow compression is obtained. It is shown that the obtained equation coincides in form with the flow equation, which determines the flow through a wide-threshold spillway. The difference between these equations is that the flow coefficient m(ε) is a function of the flow compression coefficient ε. Using the boundary transition, it is obtained that m(ε) can vary from 1/3 √(2/3) to √0,5. Graphs are presented, which allow to analyze the change of hydraulic characteristics of the flow depending on the compression coefficient ε.

The article is devoted to the consideration of an actual issue - the development of systemic measures to improve the quality of the educational process at the National Transport University. R. Mitchell's model was applied to classify the stakeholders of the higher education institution depending on their interests. The stages of creating coalitions of stakeholders are proposed, which include drawing up a list of stakeholders; grouping of stakeholders according to their interests, position, degree of influence and priority value; determination of stakeholders' influence factors for strategy formulation and decision-making; assessment of factors and integration of stakeholders' interests; development of improvement measures taking into account the interests of stakeholders. The four main stakeholder coalitions of the National Transport University were identified, a map of their interests was developed, and the results of the questionnaire regarding the quality of the educational process for the 2021-2022 academic year were analyzed. A list of measures for the development of the system for ensuring the quality of the educational process in the 2022-2023 academic year has been developed, including: gradual introduction of elements of education in the dual form of education; deepening cooperation with employers, in particular, involving employers in the organization of the educational process according to the educational programs of the university; systematic work on the motivation of teachers to improve their teaching skills and publish articles in international scientometric databases, participate in international projects, improve their knowledge of foreign languages; intensification of the use of software products in the educational process; expanding the functionality of distance learning platforms and services used by the university; strengthening of internal monitoring of educational programs; use of a flexible mode of online classes (synchronous / asynchronous mode). It is proposed to develop the research data in the development of a strategic model of the university's development.

Published: September 2022

The concepts of frictional characteristic of the brake mechanism and frictional characteristic of the friction pair of the brake mechanism, which are necessary for the calculation of the real braking properties of vehicles, are considered. An experimental device has been developed to determine the influence of such destabilizing factors as temperature, sliding speed and contact pressure on the mentioned characteristics. A method for obtaining polynomial models of the third order to determine the effect of temperature, sliding speed and contact pressure on the coefficient of friction in the friction pairs of brake mechanisms is proposed. The technique is suitable for cases when the second-order models inadequately describe the effect of these destabilizing factors on the coefficient of friction in the friction pairs of brake mechanisms.

The degradation of polystyrene (PS) and polyurethane (PU), both are foams, is a budding challenge due to increasing white pollution. The present investigation has focused on the microbial assisted biodegradation. Various indigenous microorganisms were isolated from sewage soil. PS – PU foam and bioplastic was used to screen the soil bacteria with biodegradation potential. The screened bacteria were subjected to biodegradation assay such as soil burial and liquid culture in the presence of PS – PU foams and bioplastic in a growth medium. Two microorganism were isolated-- Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger. The degradation rate based on weight loss is conducted by in vitro assay for 10 and 35 days. The maximum degraded foam was analyzed through Scanning Electron Microscopy, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and PS – PU foam and bioplastic act as a control without microorganisms. Results of the present study showed that the maximum degradation and weight loss in the polyurethane foam occurred in the soil burial method by Pseudomonas aeruginosa compared with Aspergillus niger. The soil burial method is more significant than liquid culture method. There is no weight reduction in the polystyrene foam in both organism and methods. For the degradation of synthetic polymers the isolated Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus niger were encapsulated for future studies.
