Authors: Caglayan Topal Sila , Ozmeric Nurdan , Elgun Serenay , Baloş Tuncer Burcu
Published: June 2022

Objectives:

The objectives of the study were to evaluate oxidative stress biomarkers during a rapid maxillary expansion (RME).

Material and Methods:

Fourteen patients were treated with an acrylic RME device, and after treatment, all were followed for 3 months. Saliva samples were collected before activation (baseline), 1st, 10th days after the first activation, and after retention. Periodontal indexes were recorded at baseline and after retention. Nitric oxide (NO) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were evaluated.

Results:

NO levels were elevated on the 10th day compared to baseline (P < 0.01), revealing a decrease after retention (P < 0.01). MDA levels were increased on the 10th day and after retention periods compared to baseline (P < 0.01, respectively). Both plaque and gingival indexes increased after retention relative to baseline (P < 0.01, respectively).

Conclusion:

Initial stages of orthopedic force increased salivary oxidative stress biomarkers. Long-term results showed decreased levels of NO, but still high MDA levels. The initially increased NO expression decreased after retention, despite the increase in microbial load at this period which might show the effect of mechanical stimuli to be more effective than the microbial load. MDA levels remained at high levels during the post-retention period, arising a possible consideration for the impact of material properties or deficiencies of oral hygiene. Future long-term evaluations for oxidative stress status and orthodontic appliances would be useful.
Learning Formal Definitions for Snomed CT from Text
Authors:   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Ma Yue , Distel Felix ,   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden
Published: June 2022

Snomed CT is a widely used medical ontology which is formally expressed in a fragment of the Description Logic EL++. The underlying logics allow for expressive querying, yet make it costly to maintain and extend the ontology. Existing approaches for ontology generation mostly focus on learning superclass or subclass relations and therefore fail to be used to generate Snomed CT definitions. In this paper, we present an approach for the extraction of Snomed CT definitions from natural language texts, based on the distance relation extraction approach. By benefiting from a relatively large amount of textual data for the medical domain and the rich content of Snomed CT, such an approach comes with the benefit that no manually labelled corpus is required. We also show that the type information for Snomed CT concept is an important feature to be examined for such a system. We test and evaluate the approach using two types of texts. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is promising to assist Snomed CT development.
Verification of Golog Programs over Description Logic Actions
Authors:   Theoretical Computer Science Dresden University of Technology, Baader Franz , Zarrieß Benjamin ,   Theoretical Computer Science Dresden University of Technology
Published: June 2022

High-level action programming languages such as Golog have successfully been used to model the behavior of autonomous agents. In addition to a logic-based action formalism for describing the environment and the effects of basic actions, they enable the construction of complex actions using typical programming language constructs. To ensure that the execution of such complex actions leads to the desired behavior of the agent, one needs to specify the required properties in a formal way, and then verify that these requirements are met by any execution of the program. Due to the expressiveness of the action formalism underlying Golog (situation calculus), the verification problem for Golog programs is in general undecidable. Action formalisms based on Description Logic (DL) try to achieve decidability of inference problems such as the projection problem by restricting the expressiveness of the underlying base logic. However, until now these formalisms have not been used within Golog programs. In the present paper, we introduce a variant of Golog where basic actions are defined using such a DL-based formalism, and show that the verification problem for such programs is decidable. This improves on our previous work on verifying properties of infinite sequences of DL actions in that it considers (finite and infinite) sequences of DL actions that correspond to (terminating and non-terminating) runs of a Golog program rather than just infinite sequences accepted by a Büchi automaton abstracting the program.
On the Decidability of Verifying LTL Properties of Golog Programs
Authors:   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Zarrieß Benjamin , Claßen Jens
Published: June 2022

Golog is a high-level action programming language for controlling autonomous agents such as mobile robots. It is defined on top of a logic-based action theory expressed in the Situation Calculus. Before a program is deployed onto an actual robot and executed in the physical world, it is desirable, if not crucial, to verify that it meets certain requirements (typically expressed through temporal formulas) and thus indeed exhibits the desired behaviour. However, due to the high (first-order) expressiveness of the language, the corresponding verification problem is in general undecidable. In this paper, we extend earlier results to identify a large, non-trivial fragment of the formalism where verification is decidable. In particular, we consider properties expressed in a first-order variant of the branching-time temporal logic CTL*. Decidability is obtained by (1) resorting to the decidable first-order fragment C² as underlying base logic, (2) using a fragment of Golog with ground actions only, and (3) requiring the action theory to only admit local effects.
Similarity Measures for Computing Relaxed Instances w.r.t. General EL-TBoxes
Authors: Ecke Andreas , Turhan Anni-Yasmin
Published: June 2022

The notion of concept similarity is central to several ontology tasks and can be employed to realize relaxed versions of classical reasoning services. In this paper we investigate the reasoning service of answering instance queries in a relaxed fashion, where the query concept is relaxed by means of a concept similarity measure (CSM). To this end we investigate CSMs that assess the similarity of EL-concepts defined w.r.t. a general EL-TBox. We derive such a family of CSMs from a family of similarity measures for finite interpretations and show in both cases that the resulting measures enjoy a collection of formal properties. These properties allow us to devise an algorithm for computing relaxed instances w.r.t. general EL-TBoxes, where users can specify the „appropriate“ notion of similarity by instanciating our CSM appropriately.
Towards Parallel Repair Using Decompositions
Authors:   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Ma Yue , Peñaloza Rafael ,   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden
Published: June 2022

Ontology repair remains one of the main bottlenecks for the development of ontologies for practical use. Many automated methods have been developed for suggesting potential repairs, but ultimately human intervention is required for selecting the adequate one, and the human expert might be overwhelmed by the amount of information delivered to her. We propose a decomposition of ontologies into smaller components that can be repaired in parallel. We show the utility of our approach for ontology repair, provide algorithms for computing this decomposition through standard reasoning, and study the complexity of several associated problems.
Dismatching and Local Disunification in EL
Authors:   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Baader Franz , Borgwardt Stefan ,   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Morawska Barbara ,   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden
Published: June 2022

Unification in Description Logics has been introduced as a means to detect redundancies in ontologies. We try to extend the known decidability results for unification in the Description Logic EL to disunification since negative constraints on unifiers can be used to avoid unwanted unifiers. While decidability of the solvability of general EL-disunification problems remains an open problem, we obtain NP-completeness results for two interesting special cases: dismatching problems, where one side of each negative constraint must be ground, and local solvability of disunification problems, where we restrict the attention to solutions that are built from so-called atoms occurring in the input problem. More precisely, we first show that dismatching can be reduced to local disunification, and then provide two complementary NP-algorithms for finding local solutions of (general) disunification problems.
Description Logics of Context with Rigid Roles Revisited
Authors:   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden, Böhme Stephan , Lippmann Marcel ,   Institut für Theoretische Informatik TU Dresden
Published: June 2022

To represent and reason about contextualized knowledge often two-dimensional Description Logics (DLs) are employed, where one DL is used to describe contexts (or possible worlds) and the other DL is used to describe the objects, i.e. the relational structure of the specific contexts. Previous approaches for DLs of context that combined pairs of DLs resulted in undecidability in those cases where so-called rigid roles are admitted, i.e. if parts of the relational structure are the same in all contexts. In this paper, we present a novel combination of pairs of DLs and show that reasoning stays decidable even in the presence of rigid roles. We give complexity results for various combinations of DLs involving ALC, SHOQ, and EL.

On Implementing Temporal Query Answering in DL-Lite
Authors: Thost Veronika , Holste Jan , Özçep Özgür
Published: June 2022

Ontology-based data access augments classical query answering over fact bases by adopting the open-world assumption and by including domain knowledge provided by an ontology. We implemented temporal query answering w.r.t. ontologies formulated in the Description Logic DL-Lite. Focusing on temporal conjunctive queries (TCQs), which combine conjunctive queries via the operators of propositional linear temporal logic, we regard three approaches for answering them: an iterative algorithm that considers all data available; a window-based algorithm; and a rewriting approach, which translates the TCQs to be answered into SQL queries. Since the relevant ontological knowledge is already encoded into the latter queries, they can be answered by a standard database system. Our evaluation especially shows that implementations of both the iterative and the window-based algorithm answer TCQs within a few milliseconds, and that the former achieves a constant performance, even if data is growing over time.
Nucleophilic covalent ligand discovery for the cysteine redoxome

Published: June 2022

The convergence of reactive cysteine-targeted electrophilic fragments and chemoproteomics have dramatically accelerated the discovery of ligandable sites in the proteome. Our genome encodes 214,000 cysteine residues, at least 20% of which are estimated to be redox-active. Oxidation blunts sulfur reactivity toward electrophiles but opens the door to a new class of nucleophilic covalent ligands that target cysteinyl sulfenic acids, which are widespread post-translational modifications. Here we report a quantitative analysis of nucleophilic fragments screened against the human sulfenome. Ligands were discovered for >500 sulfenated cysteines in >400 proteins, including sites not targeted by electrophiles with the same scaffold. Among these were compounds that preferentially react with hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF)-related proteins (HRPs) one of which was able to block nuclear transport of this oncoprotein. Nucleophilic fragments provide a rich resource for chemical biology and drug discovery, where ligandability in the human proteome extends beyond protein thiols.
A New Order of Liquids: Polar Order in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Authors: Mandle Richard
Published: June 2022

Given the widespread adoption of display technology based on nematic liquid crystals, the discovery of new nematic phases at thermodynamic equilibrium, although extremely rare, generates much excitement. The remarkable discovery polar order and giant ferroelectric polarisation in a nematic fluid is a watershed moment in soft matter research, and is one of the most important discoveries in the 150-year history of liquid crystals. After a brief introduction to this emerging field, we present the current state-of-the art in terms of understanding the molecular origins of this phase, before exploring how molecular structure underpins the incidence of this phase, as well as exploring future directions.

Herein, we show that aminoboranes can be electrochemically oxidized, they can quench the photoexcited state of common fluorophores, but they do not form thermodynamically favorable adducts with weak Lewis bases. These results are expected to guide the future discovery of next-generation direct aminoboration reactions under mild conditions.
Bioinspired Intramolecular Diels-Alder Cycloaddition for the Total Synthesis of Ophiorrhine A via Ophiorrhine G and Ophiorrhiside E
Authors: Cao Wei , Dou Yingchao , Kouklovsky Cyrille , VINCENT GUILLAUME
Published: June 2022

We report the first total synthesis of the monoterpene indole alkaloids ophiorrhine A via a late stage bioinspired intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition to form the intricate bridged and spirannic polycyclic system. Several strategies were investigated to construct the indolopyridone moiety of ophiorrhiside E, the postulated biosynthetic precursor of ophiorrhine A. Eventually, the Friedel-Crafts-type coupling of indolyl-acetamide with secologanin-derived acid chloride delivered ophiorrhine G. Cyclode-hydratation of a protected form of the latter was followed by the desired spontaneous intramolecular Diels-Alder cycloaddition of protected ophiorrhiside E leading to ophiorrhine A.

Published: June 2022

Targeted protein degradation is a rapidly exploding drug discovery strategy which uses small molecules to recruit disease-causing proteins for rapid destruction mainly via the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway. It shows great potential for treating diseases such as cancer, infectious, inflammatory, and neurodegenerative diseases, especially for those with “undruggable” pathogenic protein targets. With the recent rise of the ‘molecular glue’ type of protein degraders, which tighten and simplify the connection of an E3 ligase with a disease-causing protein for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation, new therapies for unmet medical needs are being designed and developed. Here we use data from the CAS Content Collection and the publication landscape of recent research on targeted protein degraders to provide insights into these molecules, with a special focus on molecular glues. We also outline the advantages of the molecular glues and summarize the advances in drug discovery practices for molecular glue degraders. We further provide a thorough review of drug candidates in targeted protein degradation through E3 ligase recruitment. Finally, we highlight the progression of molecular glues in drug discovery pipelines and their targeted diseases. Overall, our paper provides a comprehensive reference to support the future development of molecular glues in medicine.
Tinjauan Kekudusan Pelayanan dari Pelayanan Sakramen yang Berdosa menurut Santo Agustinus dari Hippo
Authors: Kurniawan Valentinus Febianto Bayu
Published: June 2022

The sacrament is a sign of God’s presence in the world. Through the sacrament mankind finds salvation. Men received the sacraments with the help of priests. Therefore, there is a demand for holiness for the priests. The question is, if as a sacrament minister, a priest does not show holiness, can the sacrament still bring salvation? To answer this question, this paper uses the idea of Saint Augustine of Hippo. Saint Augustine insists that the sacrament can still save because Christ works in it. In addition, there is a de- mand for priests to always practice self-sanctification.

Fruit juice is an ideal medium in the production of a probiotic drink. Watermelon fruit is a
suitable medium for the production of probiotic juice due to its nutritional content.
However, its utilisation as a probiotic drink is underutilised. Experiments were conducted
to determine the chemical (pH, Brix, titrable acidity) and microbiological changes (lactic
acid bacteria (LAB) count) during fermentation of probiotic watermelon juice using
different concentrations of Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus paracasei and
Lactobacillus acidophilus (2%, 5% and 10%) at 30°C for 72 hrs. The results indicated a
significant drop in pH of the probioticated watermelon juice (2%, 5% and 10%) using
various Lactobacilli strains during 24 hrs of fermentation. Interestingly, 2% probioticated
watermelon juice in all their strains of probiotic were higher than 5% and 10%
probioticated watermelon juice. The lactic acid content in probioticated watermelon juice
was reduced significantly throughout 72 hrs of fermentation, but the watermelon juice
without probiotic strains increased only within 24 hrs of fermentation. The LAB count in
probioticated watermelon juice (2%, 5% and 10%) maintained a high population count
(108
to 109 CFU/mL) for all probiotic strains throughout fermentation. Since all
concentrations studied showed similar results in the chemical and microbiological
analyses, 2% concentration is proven to be sufficient for probioticated watermelon juice
regardless of the types of Lactobacillus strains used.

Komba-komba (Eupatorium odoratum L) is a shrub, which is native to America.
Traditionally, komba-komba is used to treat burns, wounds, skin infections, postpartum
wounds, malaria, coughs and colds, and has anti-gonorrhoea, anti-inflammatory,
anthelmintic, analgesic and antioxidant properties. This study aimed to investigate the
phytochemicals from Komba-komba roots and in vitro antioxidant activity. Komba-komba
root powder was macerated using methanol as solvent. Then fractionated with n-hexane,
chloroform, and ethyl acetate. The antioxidant power was measured using the DPPH
radical inhibition method and reducing agents using the FRAP method. Komba-komba
root exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity. The ethyl acetate fraction showed the
strongest antioxidant activity using both the DPPH method and the FRAP method with
IC50 values, 10.0598±0.0665 g/mL, and 16.4782±0.3558 g/mL, respectively. The
antioxidant activity of komba-komba root was correlated with its phenolic and flavonoid
content. Komba-komba root showed very high phenolic and flavonoid contents to be
developed as a source of natural antioxidants.
Electromagnetic device for spacecraft orientation
Authors: Popov I. P.
Published: June 2022

It is shown that the basis for the creation of an «artificial» mass which is not related to either the volume or the density of the material contained in an artificially inert object, is the requirement to satisfy Newton's second law. Of interest is the possibility of creating conditions for the emergence of an artificial moment of inertia. Since the principle of equivalence between inertial and gravitational mass does not apply to artificial mass, a device with artificial mass can be incomparably lighter than its mechanical counterpart with the same moment of inertia. This quality makes such a device particularly attractive for use in astronautics as light flywheels for orienting spacecraft. The purpose of the study is to analytically synthesize the artificial moment of inertia and establish the parameters that determine it. If an artificial electric flywheel is placed in a «black box» with the shaft outside, then no experiments can determine whether the artificial or «natural» flywheel is inside. The main advantages of an artificial or electromagnetic flywheel over a «natural» one are incomparably lower weight and the possibility of electrically controlling its moment of inertia over a wide range by changing the magnetic field (excitation) and capacitance.

The conceptual options for small spacecraft on the basis of a unified space platform are analyzed, the areas of rational use of the unified space platform as part of the small spacecraft for solving a wide range of tasks, including monitoring of the Arctic regions, are explored. Methodical approaches are given to ensure the design analysis of circuit solutions of the unified space platform for small spacecraft remote sensing. The actual problem of selecting the standard size of the unified space platform, evaluating the effectiveness of its use, taking into account the necessary modernization for a specific payload, is being investigated. A technique and models for selecting the parameters for the modification of the remote sensing satellites have been developed. The application of the methodology makes it possible to determine the rational parameters for modifying the remote sensing spacecraft, to evaluate the impact of the features of design solutions and external relations on the total costs in the implementation of the project for the creation of the unified space platform. The relevance of research is related to the need to create competitive variants of small-sized spacecraft based on a unified space platform, designed to provide monitoring of high-latitude regions using the small spacecraft system.

Published: June 2022

Moored floating platforms have great potential in ocean engineering applications because a mooring system is necessary to keep the platform in station, which is directly related to the operational efficiency and safety of the platform. This paper briefly introduces the technical and operational details of an optical sensor for measuring the tension of mooring lines of a moored platform in waves. In order to check the performance of optical sensors, an experiment with a moored floating platform in waves is carried out in the wave tank at Changwon National University. The experiment is performed in regular waves and irregular waves with a semi-submersible and triangle platform. The performance of the optical sensor is confirmed by comparing the results of the tension of the mooring lines by the optical sensor and tension gauges. The maximum tension of the mooring lines is estimated to investigate the mooring dynamics due to the effect of the wave direction and wavelength in the regular waves. The significant value of the tension of mooring lines in various wave directions is estimated in the case of irregular waves. The results show that the optical sensor is effective in measuring the tension of the mooring lines.

La interculturalidad en el Ecuador se inserta como un tema trascendental en diferentes ámbitos como la salud, la educación y la comunicación, entre otros; mediante la aplicación de políticas públicas. El sistema educativo no escapa de esta realidad, constituye un eje transversal, tanto a nivel de educación básica, bachillerato y superior. No obstante, existen una serie de aproximaciones en torno al concepto de interculturalidad que ocasiona que su aplicabilidad se realice desde la perspectiva de quien la enuncia y su contexto. Por un lado, se relaciona con la educación bilingüe, los pueblos y nacionalidades; por otro lado, con movimientos migratorios. El objetivo del estudio fue identificar las diferentes voces y visiones que tienen los docentes acerca de la interculturalidad. El estudio se realizó bajo un enfoque cualitativo interpretativo de carácter hermenéutico. Se aplicó entrevistas semiestructuradas a docentes del sistema educativo nacional e intercultural bilingüe provenientes de diferentes territorios del país. El principal hallazgo está relacionado a la problemática de su definición y polisemia de significados que están articulados a conceptos de identidad, cultura y saberes. Así como al respeto, tolerancia, interacción y diferencia. Se destaca la Constitución del 2008 y la Ley Orgánica de Educación Intercultural como las principales normativas en materia de interculturalidad. También, la necesidad de reconceptualizar el concepto de interculturalidad, pasando de una definición descriptiva o prescriptiva a una perspectiva crítica. De esta manera, se convierta en una herramienta emancipadora para la transformación de las estructuras, instituciones y relaciones sociales para construir sociedades en el marco de igualdad oportunidades.

A Classification Schema for Designing Augmented Reality Experiences
Authors: Bangay Shaun , McKenzie Sophie
Published: June 2022

Aim/Purpose: Designing augmented reality (AR) experiences for education, health or entertainment involves multidisciplinary teams making design decisions across several areas. The goal of this paper is to present a classification schema that describes the design choices when constructing an AR interactive experience.

Background: Existing extended reality schema often focuses on single dimensions of an AR experience, with limited attention to design choices. These schemata, combined with an analysis of a diverse range of AR applications, form the basis for the schema synthesized in this paper.

Methodology: An extensive literature review and scoring of existing classifications were completed to enable a definition of seven design dimensions. To validate the design dimensions, the literature was mapped to the seven-design choice to represent opportunities when designing AR iterative experiences.

Contribution: The classification scheme of seven dimensions can be applied to communicating design considerations and alternative design scenarios where teams of domain specialists need to collaborate to build AR experiences for a defined purpose.

Findings: The dimensions of nature of reality, location (setting), feedback, objects, concepts explored, participant presence and interactive agency, and style describe features common to most AR experiences. Classification within each dimension facilitates ideation for novel experiences and proximity to neighbours recommends feasible implementation strategies.

Recommendations for Practitioners: To support professionals, this paper presents a comprehensive classification schema and design rationale for AR. When designing an AR experience, the schema serves as a design template and is intended to ensure comprehensive discussion and decision making across the spectrum of design choices.

Recommendations for Researchers: The classification schema presents a standardized and complete framework for the review of literature and AR applications that other researchers will benefit from to more readily identify relevant related work.

Impact on Society: The potential of AR has not been fully realized. The classification scheme presented in this paper provides opportunities to deliberately design and evaluate novel forms of AR experience.

Future Research: The classification schema can be extended to include explicit support for the design of virtual and extended reality applications.

Published: June 2022

Gümüşhane’de ikamet eden tüketicilerin geleneksel yöntemlerle işlenmiş menşe işaretli Gümüşhane ev tipi dut ürünlerinin homojenleştirilmiş hedef tüketici kitleleri tarafından tercih edilme nedenlerini ve bu tüketicilerin satın alma modellerine dayalı müşteri odaklı pazarlama taktik ve stratejilerini belirlemek amacıyla, bu çalışma planlanmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan veriler, Gümüşhane ilinde bu ürünleri tüketen 300 hane halkı ile yapılan anket çalışmasından elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, tüketim tercihleri ana faktörlerini belirlemek için Principal Component Analiz (PCA) ve tüketim sıklıklarına göre homojen tüketici grupları oluşturmak için de K-means Cluster analiz kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları; ev tipi dut ürünlerini yoğun bir şekilde tüketen kullanıcılar, satın alma kararı üzerinde yerli fındık-ceviz-dut, yüksek oranlı süt ve bal, fakat düşük düzeyli un ve su bileşiminden oluşan ürün içeriği ile geleneksel işleme teknikleri altında duyusal kalitenin yaratmış olduğu memnuniyet ile bölgesel kalkınmaya katkı sağlamaya istekli olduklarını göstermiştir. Ayrıca, orta düzeyli kullanıcılar, duyusal kalitenin temel belirleyicisi olan ürün içeriğinin geleneksek işleme tekniklerine dayalı temel fayda ve kısa arz zinciri güveni ile hedonik kalite tercihlerini kapsayan bileşik ürün imajına büyük bir önem atfetmektedir. Diğer taraftan düşük seviyedeki kullanıcılar, sosyal çevrenin etkisi ve besleyicilik güdüsü altında ürünle ilgili görsel deneyime dayalı olarak duyusal ve hedonik kalite algısına önem atfederek, gerçek ürün imajı altında kısa gıda arz zinciri güvencesi ile bölgesel kalkınmaya katkı sağlamak istedikleri analiz edilmiştir.

Bu çalışma serin iklim sebze yetiştiriciliğinde önemli bir yere sahip olan karnabahar ve brokoliye dışarıdan yapılan melatonin (MEL) uygulamalarının tuz stresi üzerine olası etkilerini belirleyebilmek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu sebeple 4-6 gerçek yapraklı karnabahar ve brokoli fidelerine farklı dozlarda MEL (0, 5 ve 10 μM MEL) içeren sulu çözelti topraktan uygulanmıştır. Tesadüf parselleri deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak kurulan denemede stres etkilerini belirleyebilmek amacıyla fidelerde fiziksel (fide ağırlıkları, boyu, çapı ve yaprak alanı) ve biyokimyasal (elektriki iletkenlik, klorofil ve karotenoid içeriği, prolin, melondialdehit ve toplam fenolik madde içeriği) analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda stres altındaki fidelere dışarıdan yapılan MEL uygulamalarının stresin olumsuz etkilerini azaltarak boy, çap, ağırlık, klorofil, karetenoid, antosiyanin ve fenolik madde içeriğinde iyileşmeler sağladığı gözlemlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak dışarıdan yapılan MEL uygulamaları tuz stresinin olumsuz etkilerini azaltmada etkili olmuş, bununla birlikte karnabaharda 5μM MEL uygulaması, brokoli fidelerinde ise 5μM-10 μM MEL uygulamaları uygun dozlar olarak belirlenmiştir.

The importance of organic fertilizers for sustainable agricultural production is an undeniable fact. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of different organic fertilizers on the growth and quality properties of maize plants. Three different types of organic fertilizers; cattle manure, vermicompost and leonardite, and their doses of 2.500, 5.000, 7.500 and 10.000 kgha-1 were used in the experiment. In addition, conventional production and non-fertilized production were used as control applications. The experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The experiments were repeated to assess the residual effects of the treatments. Fertilizers were applied in 2018 to determine the residual effects of organic fertilizer applications in the second year. In the research; plant height, ear diameter, ear grain weight, 1000 grain weight, grain yield, protein ratio, oil ratio and starch ration were examined. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of different organic fertilizers on the yield components and grain content of the corn plant. These features varied between 180.72-157.87 cm, 39.38-33.59 mm, 117.1-62.2 g, 261.2-237.1 g, 4416.8-1712.9 kg ha-1, 7.8-5.9%, 2.5-2.1% and 74.7-73.8%, respectively. According to the results, the 2500 kgha-1 and 5000 kgha-1 doses of vermicompost had the highest values for the oil ratio and protein ratio, on the other hand the leonardite application of 10.000 kgha-1 for the starch ration had the highest value. Generally, conventional fertilizer application had the highest values for yield components.
