Zeytinyağı Üretim Atıklarının Biyolojik Aktiviteleri ve Gıdalarda Kullanım Potansiyeli
Authors: Ede Aycan , El Sedef Nehir
Published: June 2022

During the production of olive oil two types of waste are generated: wastewater and olive pomace. Since these wastes have high biochemical and chemical oxygen needs, they have harmful effects on the environment. However, in addition to these damages, many bioactive compounds in olive are transferred to wastewater and pomace during oil processing. Hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and oleuropein are bioactive components that are dominantly found in both olive oil wastewater and pomace, and these compounds have many bioactivities that positively affect human health. As a result of scientific studies, it has been proven that hydroxytyrosol, tyrosol and oleuropein compounds exhibit various bioactivities such as antioxidant activity, anti-inflammatory effect, cardioprotective effect, neuroprotective effect, chemoprevention properties, antidiabetic effect, antimicrobial and antiviral effect. These wastes are recycled in various sectors such as food, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals due to the bioactive components they contain. It has been reported by scientific studies that wastewater and pomace contain phenolic compounds, pectic polysaccharides and fibers. These can be used as natural preservatives, antioxidants, food enrichers, packaging materials in the food industry. In this review, the production methods, chemical and biological properties of olive oil wastewater and pomace and studies investigating the use potential of these wastes in the food sector are compiled.

In this study, oat bran and blackberry were used separately and together in the production of probiotic yogurt (Lactobacillus acidophilus). It was aimed to determine the effect of oat bran and/or blackberry on probiotic viability, total phenolic content and antioxidant activity levels (DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC methods) of yoghurts during both cold storage times and in vitro gastrointestinal digestion stages. At the end of the 21 day of storage period, it was determined that the highest and lowest L. acidophilus viability was found in yoghurt containing blackberry (B) (107 cfu/g) and oat bran (Y) (105 cfu/g), respectively. Oat bran and blackberry containing yogurt YB and control yogurt had the highest and lowest total phenolic content at the beginning and end of the storage period, respectively. According to the antioxidant activity results determined by the DPPH method, B yogurt had the highest antioxidant activity, while according to the ABTS and CUPRAC methods, YB yogurt had the highest antioxidant activity. As a result, it has been revealed that the functional properties of probiotic yogurt can be further improved with the addition of oat bran and blackberry, and blackberry can have a prebiotic effect on L. acidophilus.

Beekeeping, which can be established with little capital and can provide strong economic returns, is one of the important branches of animal husbandry. Beekeeping has an important place in Yozgat's agricultural sector with 411 enterprises. At the end of 2019, there are a total of 29,370 beehives in Yozgat. Honey production has been less than the general of Turkey according to the presence of hive. Achieving more efficient production is possible by identifying the problems in the current production. With this study, it was determined the technical and socio-cultural structures of the existing beekeeping enterprises in Yozgat city center and its districts through a survey study. For this purpose, information about the enterprises was obtained from the Yozgat Provincial Directorate of Agriculture and Forestry and the Yozgat Beekeepers' Association. A sample of 135 beekeepers was created by examining the data of a total of 411 beekeepers. The survey was conducted with these selected beekeepers. According to the findings, a statistically significant difference was found between beekeeper groups in terms of experience of breeders, ownership of land and honey yield. Therefore, it can be said that the scale of the enterprise has grown in parallel with the increase in the experience of the breeders. Similarly, property land assets increase according to the scale of the enterprise. On the other hand, it is observed that honey yield decreases with the increase in scale in beekeeping enterprises. This means that the efficiency of the enterprises in Yozgat province decreases with the scale growth.

Published: June 2022

Global climate change, the effect of which has been increasingly felt in the last ten years, has made itself felt more in many regions in Turkey, especially in 2020 and 2021, and a serious temperature increase, floods and forest fires have been seen. Climate change affects the most vulnerable agricultural production. Since the adaptation of farmers to climate change is important in terms of food prices and sustainability of agricultural production, it is important to identify the barriers to adaptation of farmers to climate change. The aim of this research is to investigate the barriers to the adaptation to climate change of wheat producing farmers in Çorum province, where wheat is produced on 37% of the total agricultural land. In order to achieve this aim, 424 farmers were interviewed and their climate change 'understanding', 'perceptions', 'attitudes' and climate change adaptation 'barriers' were examined. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the farmers perceive climate change as "drying of water resources" and “increase in drought”, and they have an attitude that "we should strive together to adapt to the changing climate" rather than an individual struggle. In addition to these, it has been determined that “climate change is perceived as a serious problem” by the farmers and as a result of all these, the lack of “access to water resources” is the most important obstacle in adapting to climate change. In order to accelerate the adaptation of farmers to climate change, to protect them against the negative effects of climate change and to make local adaptation strategic plans, politicians, non-governmental organizations, public, private sector, universities, national and international organizations have important duties.

Published: June 2022

In this study, olive oil producing, processing and intermediary enterprises in the TR22 Region in the 2017-18 production year were examined. As a result of the study, it was found that oil mills, olive oil factories, traders, retailers, TARİŞ and final consumers form the marketing channels in olive oil and olive oil in the research region. It was found that the waiting of oil grain olives as a result of agglomeration in post-harvest processing centers, the use of sacks in the transportation of oil grain olives, the mixing of bottom olives with the ones plucked from the branch and the use of poles in harvesting were found to reduce the efficiency. It has been found that increasing the olive paste temperature above the optimum level, opening the lid of the malaxer machine during kneading, and the emergence of the black water problem as a result of the use of three-phase and classical systems are the factors that reduce the marketing efficiency in the processing service. It was found that the marketing margin of the intermediaries was 1.64% in olive oil, 20.00% of traders in olive oil, 14.06% of factories and 22.58% of retailers. The difference between producer prices and retail prices was 51.16% for olive oil.

The current research was carried out to determine the effect of adding sodium formate at the level of 0, 5, and 10 g/kg to the diets on the performance, egg quality and some serum parameters in layer Japanese quails. In the experiment, a total of 84 female quails at the age of 20 weeks were randomly distributed to 3 treatment groups with 7 replicates. At the end of the experiment, the addition of sodium formate at different levels to the diet did not statistically affect performance and egg quality parameters. Compared with the control group, the supplementation of 10 g/kg sodium formate to the diet considerably decreased the serum glucose concentration, while the serum calcium concentration increased significantly. Furthermore, the administration of sodium formate to diet significantly decreased serum triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations. According to the results obtained from the study, it was determined that the addition of sodium formate to the diet was effective in reducing serum glucose, triglyceride and cholesterol concentrations and increasing serum calcium concentration without affecting the performance and egg quality parameters of laying quails, and this effect was more pronounced at 10 g/kg sodium formate level.

This research was carried out to determine the effects of diets containing different levels of threonine on the performance, carcass characteristics, and serum biochemical parameters of growing Japanese quails. In the study, a total of 240 mixed sex quail chicks at the age of one day were randomly allocated to 6 treatment groups with 4 subgroups. Experimental diets were prepared to contain threonine at 0.84 (without L-threonine addition), 1.02 (control), 1.10, 1.20, 1.30 and 1.40% levels, and quails were fed with these treatment diets for six weeks. The threonine level of the diet did not statistically affect the performance and carcass parameters of quails, but the best feed efficiency was obtained at 1.10% threonine level. While serum cholesterol, total protein, albumin, creatinine, calcium and AST levels were not affected by dietary threonine level, serum glucose, triglyceride, globulin, urea, and phosphorus levels were statistically affected. With 1.30% threonine in the diet, serum glucose and triglyceride levels were minimum, while serum globulin level was maximum. Serum phosphorus level considerably increased at 1.40% threonine level compared to the control group. According to these results, it can be said that the addition of 1.10% threonine to diet would be proper for growing quails.

Hacia una refiguración poética del imaginario del migrante
Authors: Ocaranza Velasco Jorge Octavio , Berdejo Pérez Claudia
Published: June 2022

El artículo aborda una posible refiguración poética y critica del imaginario del migrante, víctima de la migración forzada, bajo el supuesto de que existe un imaginario hegemónico que los invisibiliza, el cual puede ser refigurado mediante una mirada auto referencial hacia imaginarios más incluyentes, sustentables y basados en la defensa de los derechos humanos. La posibilidad sigue una mirada indisciplinada desde la complejidad, y por tanto bajo una construcción epistemológica inter y transdisciplinar, buscando construir un adecuado marco teórico-metodológico desde el arte, los imaginarios urbanos, la etnografía visual y otros enfoques cualitativos, guiados por el paradigma emergente de la investigación-creación en la que participa un colectivo de investigadores sociales, profesores universitarios, activistas y estudiantes de la Universidad de Guadalajara, México y de la Universidad de la República, Uruguay. La conclusión son imágenes fotográficas logradas como una refiguración poética de los migrantes que los aleja de ser los invisibles del paisaje.
Barcelona 1945-70. El fenómeno de la inmigración. El caso de Bellvitge
Authors: Rovira Teresa
Published: June 2022

En un momento en el que se están produciendo grandes flujos migratorios, que en muchos casos tienen como consecuencia dramas humanitarios debido a las dificultades para albergar a estos colectivos, conviene mirar hacia atrás y considerar la forma en como se resolvieron estos problemas en otras épocas, para corregir deficiencias y aprender de las buenas decisiones. Por ello resulta pertinente analizar el caso del Polígono de Bellvitge, un gran conjunto de viviendas realizado en la ciudad de Hospitalet de Llobregat, muy próximo a Barcelona, en Cataluña, para albergar a los flujos migratorios que con el desarrollo industrial motivaron la llegada de un gran número de familias procedentes del centro y el Sur de España.
Delfim Amorim: de Portugal al Brasil. El proceso migratorio y la permanencia de criterios proyectuales residenciales modernos en la contemporaneidad.
Authors: de Alburquerque e Melo Alcilia Afonso
Published: June 2022

El articulo trata sobre la trayectoria profesional del arquitecto portugués Delfim Amorim (1917/1972), que en los años 50 emigró de Portugal a Brasil en busca de oportunidades personales y profesionales, huyendo de la dictadura de Salazar. El objetivo del texto es observar el proceso migratorio del arquitecto, y la permanencia en la contemporaneidad de sus principios proyectuales apoyados en la modernidad arquitectónica, adoptada en Recife, noreste de Brasil: la ciudad donde el arquitecto vivió actuando como docente y arquitecto, hacia su muerte precoz a los 55 años. Se justifica por la necesidad de rescatar la producción del que fue uno de los responsables, junto al arquitecto italiano Mario Russo y el arquitecto carioca Acácio Gil Borsoi, por la consolidación de la arquitectura moderna en Recife. Amorim emigró joven a Brasil y su obra madura, solo después de su experiencia como arquitecto en Recife, en las décadas de 1950 a 1970.
La semilla instructiva del arquitecto en la función estética de la obra arquitectónica
Authors: Montero Rodríguez Jorge Luis
Published: June 2022

La función estética comparte cualidad con otras funciones en la obra arquitectónica. Evoca el despliegue artístico del creador, es texto instructivo para quien recrea sus códigos estéticos y fuente de valor cultural. Este artículo aborda esa cualidad instructiva visible en las similitudes estéticas entre la Casa Batlló en Barcelona y la casa Finlay Nº 41 en Cuba, de creadores diferentes. El propósito es plantear el posible contacto entre sus autores, quizás no directo, sino por medio de la expresión estética. Por ello, se realizó revisión documental histórica y observación crítica como métodos cualitativos. Y, tras análisis, pude concluir que la conexión estética entre ambas casas es fehaciente, lo cual lleva a suponer que sus creadores tuvieron algún contacto, primordialmente, en la trasmisión de códigos estéticos que uno aprendió de la obra del otro, que cruzaron el Atlántico y fueron recreados en una obra sui generis para la cultura camagüeyana.

Published: June 2022

Aunque los autores señalan en su texto que se habían hecho algunas aproximaciones a la importancia historiográfica de la cultura regional en el Occidente de México desde la década de los años 1930 y sobre todo a partir del desarrollo de un imaginario de lo típico mexicano basado en la recuperación de ciertos valores rurales en el Estado de Michoacán, dichas aproximaciones se habían hecho desde espectros o registros más amplios que la arquitectura, como las tradiciones sociales, el folklore y las artes en general. De tal manera que no se disponía previamente de libros especializados que difundieran de una manera tan consistente y específica la arquitectura que podemos llamar emblemática de un momento y una concepción de la cultura nacional puesta finalmente al servicio de un compromiso cultural mundial.
Regulation and Its Impact on Innovation in Healthcare: SAMD Case
Authors: Svempe Līga
Published: June 2022

Digitalisation in healthcare can transform the industry, thus a new product development shall be supported and promoted by stakeholders. Healthcare is also a heavily regulated industry to ensure safety of the end-users – the patients. The aim of this article is to analyse regulation of software as a medical device (SAMD) in Europe in the light of recently introduced Regulation (EU) 2017/745 (MDR). The analysis starts with defining what SAMD is and how it is classified, as well as how the classification has changed according to the new regulation. As the new rules significantly change the classification for most of the SAMDs, their impact on the innovation process is explored from the perspective of the innovators and the market. Furthermore, the regulation of AI solutions in the medtech industry is also explored. The analysis also covers how the SAMD can launch updates to be compliant with the regulatory requirements. Several obstacles in the innovation process have been identified and explored.

We describe in this paper 3 burial practices from the last hunter-gatherers lower Holocene populations of Columnata locality (Tiaret-Algeria). Despite their poor bone condition and some obvious grave disturbances, these individual burials are seen as primary depositions. They were placed in clogged tombs in a dorsal position, with no particular orientation of the body and without any deliberate bone’s modification as noticed with iberomaurusian burials. Bovine horns can be considered as voluntary funerary goods as reported for iberomaurusian or capsian burial unlike the semewhat non-deliberate lithic and faunal remains discovered into the graves. In this respect, grave H1 deposit is a singular case. Another special feature of this site is the stone arrangement in the inner space of H1 and H2. Such an early stonework could be reported according to the graves dates to the 10th and 8th millenia BC. Two of the tombs were built with stones to mark their position which is quite advanced for that time.

L’art rupestre saharien reflète dans son évolution et en filigrane la modification du milieu, de la fin du Pléistocène, le long de l’Holocène jusqu’aux périodes historiques. Cette évolution est très bien illustrée sur le territoire algérien qui comprend de vastes zones rupestres, dans l’Atlas saharien et le Sahara central. Je vous propose d’en marquer les étapes en m’appuyant sur les changements dans les modes de vie, les modes de représentation, les sujets figurés et les propositions d’interprétation. Ainsi, le sujet de mon étude serait ce que l’on peut déduire de l’évolution du milieu, et donc du climat, à travers l’art rupestre saharien.

Published: June 2022

Este trabajo profundiza en la periodización de las prácticas funerarias de los antiguos canarios. Se aportan nuevas fechas y se usa un tratamiento bayesiano de las dataciones para examinar los intervalos de inicio, final y tasa de cambio de las tres categorías sepulcrales definidas: cuevas, túmulos y fosas/cistas. Los cambios en las prácticas funerarias solo pueden ser entendidos en el marco social de referencia, que en el caso grancanario necesita ser repensado. Para probar este planteamiento se testea el periodo vinculado a las fosas y cistas, siglos xi-xv d.C., tratando de reconocer las innovaciones que surgen en esta fase. A la luz de los resultados, las novedades identificadas en el registro arqueológico de este periodo parecen estar promovidas por estímulos foráneos, a partir de la llegada de nueva población norteafricana, que actúan como factor dinamizador del cambio.

Between the 8th and 5th millennium BCE, human societies in the Western Mediterranean underwent several major changes. One of them took place during the 7th millennium with a profound change in material production, especially in their stone industries. It resulted in a fundamental change in production patterns, operating sequences and technical procedures. The precise origin of these changes is currently unknown, but it is possible that they initially occurred in North Africa before spreading rapidly along the shores of the Mediterranean and reaching Western Europe. This south-to-north expansion could reflect population shifts, at least in the early stages of the expansion of these new technical processes. However, possible contacts between Africa and Europe are not limited to this technical sphere, and exchanges can also be documented in both ceramic productions and graphic expressions. Several recent research programmes have brought new data to these hypotheses, the main results of which are presented here.
Borrowings and exogenous contact in the Eastern Maghreb in the holocene: an examination of the bone industry
Authors:   Laboratoire PRETECH (CNRS), Sidéra Isabelle
Published: June 2022

This article considers the bone industries of the Capsian and the Neolithic of Capsian Tradition. It place these industries in the broader context of the Near-East and Europe in order to identify their unique characteristics and the elements they share with other industries. The criteria considered are at once stylistic, morphological, and technical. Both the Capsian and the Neolithic of Capsian Tradition (NCT), present commonalities with the industries of the Natufian and the PPNB. Is this the result of exogenous borrowings, internal dynamics, or documentation biases? The question of possible contact between cultures and populations is examined here.
Tifinagh rock inscriptions in Central Sahara
Authors:   Universidad de La Laguna, Springer Bunk Renata Ana
Published: June 2022

During a stay in a small Tuareg village in the south of Tamanrasset (Ahaggar, Algeria), a number of fifteen Tifinagh inscriptions has been observed, which were reportet here. Being accompanied by some Tuaregs from this area, we had an excellent opportunity to observe their difficulties in trying to read and understand the texts. So we were able to compare rock inscriptions with those of the current alphabet and appreciate certain aspects of the script’s evolution, focused on features such as the use of different signs.
Cemeteries, social change and migration in the time of the Ancient Canarians
Authors: Alberto-Barroso Verónica , Velasco-Vázquez Javier , Delgado-Darias Teresa ,   Universidad de Valladolid, Moreno-Benítez Marco A.
Published: June 2022

This paper delves into the proposal for periodisation of funerary practices among the Ancient Canarians. New radiocarbon dates are provided together with a Bayesian treatment used to estimate the onset and later tempo of the three burial categories previously established: caves, tumuli, and pit-graves/cists, as well as their temporal activity patterns. Changes in funerary practices can only be understood within the social framework of reference which in the case of Gran Canaria needs to be reconsidered. To substantiate this claim, the period corresponding to pit-graves and cist burials from 11th-15th centuries AD is reviewed, in an attempt to identify the innovations that arise during this phase. It is concluded that the new developments identified in the archaeological record seem to be caused by foreign stimuli, stemming from the arrival of new North African settlers that act as agents of change.
Long-segment fixation versus short-segment fixation with instrumentation of index vertebra for thoracolumbar fractures
Authors: Agrawal Harsh , Sharma Ayush , Singh Vijay , Naseem Atif , Gaddikeri Manojkumar , Amin Ankit
Published: June 2022

Background:

We assessed and analyzed the clinical, perioperative, functional, and radiological outcomes of long- versus short-segment (SS) fixation of thoracolumbar spine fractures that included the index vertebra.

Methods:

We retrospectively evaluated 119 patients with thoracolumbar spine fractures (i.e., using AO classification system). The patient was followed up for a minimum of 1 year at which time the angles of correction were measured on lateral X-rays (i.e., using Cobb’s method). Neurological grading employed the Frankel’s grading system. Operative time, perioperative blood loss, and time to mobilization were also analyzed.

Results:

After 1 year, the loss of kyphosis was not significantly different between the two groups. Although there were no statistical differences in terms, regarding neurological outcomes, time to mobilization, or duration of hospitalization, the operative times and perioperative blood loss were significantly reduced in patients undergoing SS fixation.

Conclusion:

We determined the efficacy of SS fixation for thoracolumbar fractures including the index vertebra.

Published: June 2022

MMP-17 plays a vital role in the activation of ADAMTS4, a key aggrecanase involved in cartilage degradation and Osteoarthritis development. The present study focused on MMP-17 expression in patients with knee OA and its advancement. A total of 98 study subjects were enrolled (n=98), of which 49 were cases and 49 controls. Quantitative estimation of MMP-17 in serum and synovial fluid of study subjects was assessed by sandwich ELISA and statistically analyzed by one way ANOVA, bivariate analysis and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The mean value of Serum MMP-17 was significantly higher in cases than controls (15.43±0.91 vs 14.71±1.04ng/ml respectively). ROC curve cut off value was 14.82ng/ml (75.5% sensitivity and 71.4% specificity), which increased with disease severity. The value >15ng/ml in serum had approximately 11 fold risk of OA [OR=11.333, 95% CI=(2.209-58.147)]. SF MMP-17 were assessed only from OA patients due to ethical concerns and the level >4.6ng/ml had 27.5 times higher risk for disease severity [OR=27.556, 95% CI=(3.031-250.524)]. The levels of MMP-17 in serum and synovial fluid were significantly associated with knee OA and its severity. Thus serum MMP-17 level could be a potential marker for knee OA and may be a target for therapeutics.
Managing the economic development of the country on the principles of ESG and digitalisation
Authors: Mokiy M. S.
Published: June 2022

The article substantiates the thesis that the implementation of the principles of ESG (environment, society and corporate governance) at the level of the country’s economy requires a revision of the ontological provisions of economics. The application of the system-transdisciplinary concept allows us to interpret economic relations as a fragment of humanity’s relations with nature. Economic relations arose as a systemic necessity for the existence and development of mankind. It is shown that in the system of “economic relations” a set of values determines the nomenclature and assortment of goods, methods of production, exchange and distribution. From the point of view of system ontology, the basic element of the system of economic relations is the “household”. Therefore, the objective function of managing the development of economic relations at the country level should be to improve the welfare of each household. The identified immanent attributes of the “economic relations” system and the designation of their systemic role allowed us to conclude that the main task of management is to change the value system that meets the requirements of the coevolutionality of the system development. It is shown that such an ontological interpretation is most consistent with the principles of ESG and the requirements of sustainable development of the human community. On this basis, the ranking of management tasks was made and the directions of digitalisation of management processes at the country level were identified.

Review: Smriti Srinivas, Bettina Ng'weno, and Neelima Jeychandran (eds.), Reimagining Indian Ocean Worlds. Abingdon: Routledge, 2020
Authors: Kozhisseri Yoonus
Published: June 2022

The edited volume, Reimagining Indian Ocean Worlds, collects chapters that explore new ways of engaging with Indian Ocean studies, a remarkably evolving field of concern in recent academic discourse. The chapters have in common a dialogical and memoir-like disposition, and they harp on prospective methods of understanding human existence as essentially intersectional, heterogeneous, and interconnected. In substance, the volume insists to pre-empt a plain conjecture of the Indian Ocean as a physiographical unit that delineates and thus disconnects the continents and modern nation states which are centred landward rather than seaward. In effect, the oceanic spaces are considered intersecting terrains for people who experience the two different sides of the same waves that interweave their mutualities through narratives of movements, migrations, labours, translations, and more.
