How growing conditions are influential on the agronomic attributes and fiber-related quality parameters of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) fibers: A seismomorphogenesis approach
Authors: Koçak Mehmet Zeki
Published: March 2024

Among industrial crops, flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) is a multi-purpose crop grown for production of stem fiber and seed oil. Through longterm domestication for these purposes, cultivated flax has diversified into two main types, namely fiber and oil or linseed types, as well as an intermediate type. This study was designed to investigate the effect of flax fibers of flax varieties (Antares, Dakota and Mures) in field and greenhouse cultivation on fiber mechanical performances, morphological properties and fatty acid composition in flaxseed was investigated. Additionally, plants can change their morphology and mechanical properties when exposed to stress, as is particularly the case when plants respond to wind, a phenomenon known as seismomorphogenesis. Greenhouse plants were found to be significantly lower than field grown plants, with an increase of 16.79cm in technical stem length and 56.02cm in technical stem height. In addition, the total plant height of flax grown in the field was 59.33 cm compared to 17.32 cm in the greenhouse. The Mures variety was found to be the highest both in the field (79.50-76.10cm) and in the greenhouse (18.36-17.47cm). Considering the fatty acid percentages, the highest α-linolenic acid was found in Dakota (29.23%) and the lowest in Antares (20.53%) in the field, while the highest was found in Dakota (19.25%) and the lowest in Mures (16.13%) in the greenhouse. In addition, the highest tensile strength was found in Dakota (704.6 Mpa) and the closest Antares (692.2 Mpa) under field conditions, while the lowest was found in Dakota (198.5 Mpa) and Mures varieties (288.8 Mpa) under greenhouse conditions. In order to reduce the dimension, correlate and visualize the measured parameters, the relevant data of the study were subjected to principal component analysis and heat-map clustering.

Published: March 2024

Red cabbage (Brassica oleracea) is a rich source of phenolic content including colour pigments and have also high antioxidant capacities. The amounts of their phenolic substances and antioxidant activities change depending on the extraction conditions (pH, time, solvent, etc.). In this work, the coloured water extract was obtained from red cabbage at different pH values (pH 4-10) for both an hour and 24 hours. The extracts were evaluated regarding total phenolic contents and antioxidant activities. The results showed that the total phenolic content of red cabbage extracts in all extraction conditions ranged from 4.93±0.20 to 7.59±1.22 mg GAE/g fw. The highest total phenolic contents (7.59±1.22 mg GAE/g fw) were obtained from red cabbage at 24 h and pH=6. On the other hand, the red cabbage extracts have high DPPH (IC50 values ranged from 0.21±0.06 to 0.94±0.03 mg/mL) and ABTS (IC50 values ranged from 0.29±0.01 to 0.46±0.05 mg/mL) activities at all pH values and times. The extract obtained from red cabbage at 1 h and pH=7 exhibited the strongest DPPH activity with the IC50 values of 0.21±0.06 mg/mL, it showed the best ABTS activity with the IC50 values of 0.29±0.01 mg/mL at 1 h and pH=5 and 8.
Safety of agricultural machinery and tractor maintenance planning with fuzzy logic and MCDM for agricultural productivity
Authors: Atlı Hüseyin Fatih
Published: March 2024

Productivity is one of the most important measures used to determine the growth and development level of countries or sectors. A wide variety of projects have been planned and implemented to increase agricultural productivity. The productivity to be obtained in agriculture; Soil conditions, climate, seeds, fertilizer, pesticides, labor and agricultural mechanization directly affect it. Agricultural mechanization is the realization of agricultural activities by using energy together with agricultural tools and machines. Agricultural mechanization; It is an important agricultural production technology that helps increase agricultural productivity. Due to the inadequate maintenance planning of agricultural machinery, agricultural machinery cannot be utilized at the desired level in agricultural production. Most agricultural equipment is subject to frequent changes in speed and direction of movement while operating. Damage that can be seen on a single machine; It also causes other machines to malfunction. During the year, especially in the months when agricultural activity is high, excessive working tempo can cause tractors to malfunction. The breakdown of tractors causes disruptions in agricultural activities. In addition, the breakdown of tractors increases the repair costs. Since there is no tractor maintenance planning, farmers face interruptions in agricultural activities due to tractor malfunction. However, tractor malfunctions may cause cost and economic losses. For these reasons, there is a need for appropriate maintenance planning of agricultural machinery in order to continue agricultural activities without disruption. Maintenance planning; It consists of a set of preventive activities to improve the reliability and availability of any system. The main purpose of this study is to determine and rank the importance level weights of the criteria that are important for agricultural machinery maintenance planning using the fuzzy AHP method. Fuzzy AHP method, which provides ease of application, was preferred in determining the Criterion Weights. The research proposes a framework to determine the weights of appropriate criteria for care planning selection through a combined approach of fuzzy multi-criteria decision making involving relevant stakeholders. On the basis of the prioritization of criteria of tractor maintenance planning (TMP), it was found from the ranking that checking for all fluid levels (TMP1) ranked first. This respectively is followed by checking for general conditions (TMP4), checking for tires and wheels (TMP2) and checking for batteries (TMP3). With the results of the study, a guide was created for farmers and other stakeholders, as well as decision makers, to help plan the maintenance of machines in better working conditions. It is also thought that this study will be encouraging for other studies.

Authors: Unver Tuba
Published: March 2024

Isorhamnetin (3’-methylquercetin) is an important flavonoid produced as a secondary metabolite from medicinal and aromatic plants due to its pharmacological and therapeutic properties. Thus far, the anticancer, antiallergic, antiinflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral, and antimicrobial properties of isorhamnetin have been evaluated in indirect studies conducted with isorhamnetin found in plant extracts or essential oils or direct studies performed with pure isorhamnetin. However, this is the first study in the literature on the antifungal activity of 97% pure isorhamnetin against C. tropicalis, C. albicans, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis using two assays including agar dilution and broth microdilution methods. This study showed that isorhamnetin has a significant inhibitory effect against all Candida species used. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) value of isorhamnetin against C. tropicalis, C. albicans, C. krusei, and C. parapsilosis was 1.875 mg/mL, the same for all yeast strains. These results have opened a new horizon regarding the usability of isorhamnetin as a pharmacological therapeutic antifungal agent.
Forecasting some climate parameters of Türkiye using the SSP3-7.0 scenario for the years 2040–2059
Authors: Çeliktopuz Eser
Published: March 2024

This study employs the Coupled Model Inter-comparison Projects (CMIPs) and the Sixth phase of CMIPs (CMIP6) to unravel the multifaceted impacts of global climate change on climate of Türkiye. The CMIP6 data, fundamental to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Assessment Reports, forms the basis for projecting future climate scenarios, specifically under the medium-high reference scenario SSP3-7. Utilizing a suite of global climate models, including the innovative Multi-Model Ensemble (MME) approach, this study combines predictions to enhance the precision climate projections of Türkiye. Historical data spanning from 1951 to 2020 were subjected to rigorous statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics and regression analysis. The findings reveal an unequivocal upward trajectory in Türkiye’s annual mean temperature, with an accelerated pace in recent decades. Despite a lack of a significant long-term trend in annual precipitation from 1951 to 2020, the rate of change in precipitation is accelerating, indicating potential future challenges. Projections for 2040-2059 under the SSP3-7.0 scenario indicate a non-uniform increase in mean temperature across Türkiye, with the southern and western regions facing the most significant impact. This warming trend poses imminent threats to agriculture, altering crop yields and increasing the risk of heat stress for livestock. Additionally, the projected decrease in precipitation, alongside a surge in hot days and tropical nights, underscores the urgency for adaptive measures. As Türkiye navigates the complex terrain of climate change, this study provides valuable insights, emphasizing the significance of robust climate modeling for informed decision-making. The results underscore the imminent challenges Türkiye faces and emphasize the critical importance of proactive climate action on both national and global fronts.

This study was carried out to determine the relationships between stomatal density and type and some leaf morphological traits in 10 grapevine varieties (Vitis vinifera L.). The study was performed during the vegetation period of 2022-2023 in the vineyards of the Research Station for Viticulture of Ankara University Faculty of Agriculture in Kalecik-Ankara. ‘Lival’, ‘Tekirdağ Seedless’, ‘Beauty Seedless’, ‘Michele Palieri’, ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’, ‘Narince’, ‘Syrah’, ‘Kalecik Karası’, ‘Alphonse Lavallée’ and ‘Hasandede’ varieties, grafted on 5BB rootstock, were evaluated as experimental materials in the study. The results revealed that there have been significant variations among varieties in terms of stomatal density, distribution of stomatal types, the proportion of trichomes, and leaf thickness. In general, stomatal density ranged from 168.17 to 268.27 stomata mm-2 in the varieties. The presence of the three different stomatal types (same level, raised above, and sunken) was detected by SEM images. The percentage of stomatal types varied between 39-59 for the same level, 25-42 for the raised above and 10-26 for the sunken. The percentage of the same level stomatal type was found to be higher than the other two types in all varieties. In addition, the same level stomatal type exhibited negative correlations with the raised above and the sunken stomatal types. In terms of leaf characteristics, the proportion of trichomes showed a negatively significant correlation (r = -0.309; p<0.01) with stomatal density. However, the relationship between leaf thickness and stomatal density was not significant.

Published: March 2024

Athlete burnout is increasingly reported as impacting esports players' wellbeing and performance. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Athlete Burnout Scale (ABO-S) within esports. Specifically focusing on item discrimination and difficulty parameters to establish optimal raw cut-off scores indicating levels of burnout risk among esports players. Participants were 453 English-speaking adult esports players who ranked in the top 40% of one of seven major esports. The sample included 372 males, 74 females, and seven nonbinary participants who represented 66 countries. Item Response Theory analysis, including Rasch and Graded Response Model, was used to examine the ABO-S's psychometric properties. The GRM provided a superior fit, with all items showing sufficient discrimination and difficulty levels. Items related to feeling wearied, lacking energy, and feeling physically drained demonstrated high levels of information and reliability across a range of burnout levels. A provisional diagnostic cut-off point of ≥ 63 (+2SD) was established, indicating a high risk of burnout, with 2% of participants exceeding this threshold. Furthermore, raw total burnout scores of ≥47 (+0.5SD) and 52 (+1SD) were also identified. The ABO-S is a robust instrument for assessing burnout in esports players, with specific items effectively identifying varying levels of burnout. The establishment of cut-off scores aids in identifying players at high risk of burnout, contributing to better support and intervention strategies in the esports community. These findings further the understanding of burnout in esports, highlighting the scale's utility in monitoring and addressing player wellbeing.

Morality by Tacit Agreement: A Contribution from the Economics of Emotions toward Moral Judgments
Authors: Kadokawa Kazuo
Published: March 2024

Current research on morality is divided into rationalist and intuitionist theories. This study shows that when individuals make rational choices, they are inevitably guided by the moral foundation of intuitionism. Especially to pursue self-interest, individuals must agree with others in society. They must keep their opinions constant to agree with others. To maintain a constant opinion, the individual assigns an opinion that can improve the utility of the other person and place both of them in the same situation. The actions taken by an individual must be altruistic to enhance the utility of the other person . The individual’s opinion is subsequently guided by the golden rule of morality, “Treat others as you would like to be treated,” which facilitates moral foundations.
The precarity of hope at the end of the world: young climate activism in search of a future
Authors: Bowman Benjamin , Starzak Madeleine
Published: March 2024

Young people are imagining a better world in conversations locally and globally, in the streets, in the classrooms and in their everyday life. Young climate activists are people who work for transformative change, radical kindness towards others and climate justice in a deeply unjust world. Some activists call themselves activists, and some do not, but we use the term activist to bring attention to the diverse range of things young people do for climate justice. At the same time, young people must navigate a complex intersection of profound crises and sudden ruptures, from war to pandemics, from the continuing legacies of colonialism to racist police violence in their city streets. This chapter, which is written in collaboration between a researcher and a food grower, reflects on the activism of young people during the climate crisis. We use the concept of “precarious hope” (Nunn et al. 2021) to argue that traditional and adult-centred approaches to young people’s participation tend to be optimistic and progressive. Young hopes are often found pushing through the cracks, and rupturing the structures and systems of the dystopian future they live in. We hope that a concept of precarious hope will uphold young people in future activism, and support researchers in the study of young people who are taking action for a liveable planet.
The role of Interleukin-6 as a biomarker in ADHD
Authors: Glasberg Anton
Published: March 2024

Introduction: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a common psychiatric syndrome with a strong genetic component. ADHD can have adverse effects on academic, professional, financial, and interpersonal achievement. Previous studies have indicated that inflammation and interleukin-6 (IL-6) may be involved in the pathophysiology of ADHD. However, conflicting results have been reported in previous meta-analyses, and errors in data extraction are common. Additionally, previous meta-analyses have not analysed IL-6 assuming it is an exponentially distributed biomarker. Aim: To investigate if IL-6 levels are elevated in patients with ADHD in peripheral blood. Materials and methods: This meta-analysis is a replication of the most recently published meta-analysis with an extended literature search. The studies included measured IL-6 in peripheral blood in patients with ADHD without severe neurological disease and a healthy control group. The values were analysed in their raw form and log-transformed to approximate a normal distribution. Results: Errors in data extraction and computational errors were detected in the replicated meta-analysis, which removed the significance of the result of a pooled analysis. After an extended literature search, no significant association between IL-6 and ADHD was found (estimate = 0.5861, 95%CI = -0.2539 – 1.4261, p = 0.17, I 2 = 96.6%). Conclusion: No significant association between IL-6 and ADHD was observed in this meta-analysis. This study confirms that errors in meta-analyses are common.

Methods: We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study at the Central Hospital of Yaoundé over a 4-month period from January 1 to April 30, 2019. Men aged 20 to 40, sexually active, and freely consenting to participate were included in our study (66 had sexual complaints and 39 had other complaints). Results :105 patients were included in the study, with 66 reporting sexual complaints and 39 presenting other complaints. The average age of our study population was 31.7 years. Alcohol was found in 60.6% of cases, followed by tobacco at 30.3% for toxicological history. 78.7% of patients were overweight. Digital rectal examination was mostly normal; however, hemorrhoids were the most common finding at 14.2%. Decreased libido was very common in our study population, with a proportion of 41%, followed by erectile dysfunction at 37.1%. 66.3% of patients had a normal ejaculation time of 1 to 20 minutes. 21.2% of patients had premature ejaculation. 80.3% of patients had a Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) score higher than 27. 9.2% of patients had severe erectile dysfunction according to the IIEF5 score. 3.8% of patients had low testosterone levels. 62.2% of patients had never talked to anyone in their circle about sexual problems. 68.1% of patients resorted to self-medication, while 18.1% turned to traditional medicine. Conclusion: Despite the increasing frequency of sexual disorders worldwide, the subject remains taboo in our context, leading to underdiagnosis and undertreatment.
