Authors: BALIKÇI Ebru , TANGOLAR Semih , ADA Melike
Published: December 2021

Bu çalışmada, farklı organik ve inorganik madde uygulamalarının 1103 Paulsen anacı üzerine aşılı Trakya İlkeren üzüm çeşidi (Vitis vinifera L.) üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Bu uygulamalar: kontrol (K; uygulama yok), bazaltik pomza (P), ticari kuru kompost (KK), asma budama artığı: çiftlik gübresi karışımı (v:v) (1: 2) kompostu (BA+ÇG), saman: çiftlik gübresi (v:v) (1: 2) kompostu (S+ÇG), P+KK, P+S+ÇG ve P+BA+ÇG olarak düzenlenmiştir. Sonuçta, en yüksek verim (4320 g asma-1) ve salkım ağırlığı (360.0 g) KK' da bulunmuş, bunu P+KK (sırasıyla 3874.5 g asma-1 ve 322.9 g) uygulaması takip etmiştir. Tane ağırlığı ve hacmi açısından en yüksek değerler (sırasıyla 446.7 g ve 423.3 mL) KK, P+KK ve P+(BA+ÇG)' den elde edilmiştir. Yaprakların makro ve mikro element içeriklerine göre, uygulamalar arasındaki farklılıklar Trakya İlkeren için N ve K' da istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur. En yüksek yaprak mineral besin değerinin elde edildiği uygulamalar elementlere göre değişmiştir. Tüm uygulamalardan saptanan makro ve mikro element konsantrasyonları genelde yeterlilik sınırları içinde bulunmuştur.
Trakya İlkeren çeşidinde tam çiçeklenme ve olgunluk döneminde ölçülen yaprak sıcaklığı ve klorofil düzeyi (SPAD okumaları) uygulamalara göre farklılık göstermiştir. En yüksek SPAD değerleri; Tam çiçeklenme zamanında S+ÇG (32.4); olgunluk zamanı ölçümlerinde ise BA+ÇG (37.8) uygulamasından elde edilmiştir. En yüksek yaprak sıcaklığı değerleri tam çiçeklenmede P (32.3 oC), ve olgunlukta ise P+(S+ÇG) (41.0 oC) uygulamalarında ölçülmüştür. Genel değerlendirme, Kompost uygulamalarının yalnız veya Pomza ile karışım halindeki etkisinin bu tezde incelenen çoğu özelliklerde kontrole göre daha iyi sonuç verdiğini göstermiştir. Böyle olmasına rağmen, uygun materyal veya karışım önerileri yapabilmek için, böyle uygulamaların biriken etkilerinin değerlendirilmesinde yarar olacağı düşünülmektedir.

Authors: Salma Taha , Shrouk Kelany Ali , Fabrizio D’Ascenzo , Hosam Hasan-Ali , Yousra Ghzally , Mohamed Abdel Ghany
Published: December 2021

Background: Although acute inferior myocardial infarction (MI) is usually regarded as being lower risk compared with acute anterior MI, right ventricular (RV) myocardial involvement (RVMI) may show an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality in patients with inferior MI. CMR is ideal for assessing the RV because it allows comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular morphology and physiology without most limitations that hinder alternative imaging modalities. Objectives: To evaluate the sensitivity of strain and strain rate of the RV using 2D speckle tracking echo and the neutrophil/ lymphocyte ratio (NLR) compared to cardiac MRI (CMR) as the gold standard among patients with inferior STEMI undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methodology: 40 Patients with inferior MI who had primary PCI were included in the study; they were divided into two groups according to the RVEF using CMR. NLR was done in comparison to RVEF. Results: out of the 40 patients, 18 (45%) patients had RV dysfunction. 2D echocardiography was done for all patients, where fractional area change (FAC) in the RV dysfunction group appeared to be significantly reduced compared to the group without RV dysfunction (p value = 0.03). In addition, RV longitudinal strain (LS) by speckle tracking echo was reduced with an average of 19.5 ± 3.9% in the RV dysfunction group. Both CMR- derived RV SV, and EF were lower among the RV dysfunction group, (26.8 ± 15.8) ml and (35.4 ± 6.9)% respectively, with large RV systolic volume, with a highly statistically significant difference in comparison to the other group (p value = 0.000). Complications, heart block was significantly higher in patients with RV dysfunction (p value = 0.008) as it occurred in 5 (27.8%) patients. N/L ratio for predicting RV dysfunction by CMR had a cut-off value of > 7.7 with low sensitivity (38.8%) and high specificity (77.3 %). In contrast, LS for predicting RV dysfunction by CMR had high sensitivity (83.3%) and high specificity (63.6%) with p value = 0.005. Conclusion: Our results showed that RV dysfunction in inferior MI is better detected using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. In inferior STEMI patients who underwent primary PCI, NLR has low sensitivity but high specificity for predicting RVD when measured by cardiac MRI.
Managing Tidal Inlets
Authors: French Jonathan Akin
Published: December 2021

Sandy inlets are in a dynamic equilibrium between wave-driven littoral drift acting to close them, and tidal flows keeping them open. Their beds are in a continual state of suspension and deposition, so their bathymetry and even location are always in flux. Even so, a nearly linear relationship between an inlet’s cross-sectional flow area and the inshore tidal prism is maintained - except when major wind and/or runoff events act to close or widen an inlet. Inlet location can be stabilized by jetties, but dredging may still be necessary to maintain a navigable channel. Armoring with rock large enough to resist erosion can protect an inlet bed or river mouth from excessive storm flow erosion.  Armoring can also be used as a stratagem to close inlets.

A critical eye to breeding potential of the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) or natural selection vs castration
Authors: Silviya Stefanova Radanova
Published: December 2021

The article analyze the reproductive potential of uncastrated domestic cats. The notions of the high reproductive capabilities of the species have been refuted, even with provided resources, shelter and human attention. Space and density are not major stressors in a multi-cat indoor group if a high-protein food and inner freedom of individuals are provided. The established natural patterns in its development and the parallel made between other wild felines and human population are evidence of the evolutionary value and genetic potential of the species, which must be assessed and preserved in time. Specific adaptive behavior in female individuals related to indoor life and possibly a way of self-control of reproduction is described

Excess molar volume (VE), molar volume (Vm), Excess Viscosity (ηE), Viscosity deviations (Δη) and excess Gibbs free energies of activation of viscous flow (ΔGE) were calculated. The results obtained shows that excess free energy of activation were all positive over the entire mole fraction. The viscosity deviation shows both negative and positive values. The positive VE obtained in this study shows increase in volume in the binary mixture. This work will help in effective monitoring, detection of adulterated kerosene and subsequent enforcement of severe penalty on such adulteration.
A case of anencephaly in an Unbooked Primipara diagnosed at 35 weeks gestation
Authors: Awopola Ibiebelem Jumbo  , Esther Ijeoma Nonye-Enyidah
Published: December 2021

Background: Anencephaly is a rare but lethal congenital anomaly of the neural tube. Ideally, the diagnosis is made early in pregnancy and the pregnancy is usually terminated. This is to prevent avoidable complications during pregnancy and childbirth as well as the accompanying psychological trauma from late intrauterine foetal death or death during the neonatal period. Objective: To report a case of anencephaly in an unbooked primipara at 35 weeks gestation. Methods: The case note of the patient and how she was managed were reviewed. A relevant review of the literature on the subject was also done. Case report: Mrs A.N was a 22year old unbooked G3P1+1 who was referred to the Rivers State University Teaching Hospital (RSUTH) on the 4th of September, 2021 with a three-day history of bleeding per vaginam and an ultrasound scan report of an absent cranium and club foot at 35weeks gestation. She resided in a rural area and was on herbal medication in the index pregnancy. She did not receive routine antenatal medications and had no family history of congenital malformations. She had an induction of labour at presentation and delivered a severely asphyxiated male anencephalic baby weighing 2.0kg. The baby died 9minutes after delivery. Conclusion: Anencephaly is a lethal anomaly that is associated with folic acid deficiency. Despite available diagnostic tools, most women in rural areas lack access to antenatal care and will have a late diagnosis and increased morbidity. Thus, there is a need to improve access to antenatal care for women in rural communities, as well as supplement food with folic acid for women in the reproductive age group.

Panorama y efectos del entrelazamiento en el Quijote
Authors: Martín Morán José Manuel
Published: December 2021

In addition to offering a great variety of narrative transition formulas, in Don Quixote interlacing has a triple function: a balancing instrument in the making of the story; a strategy for the construction of diegesis; and an opportunity to expand the space and functions of the enunciative system. By means of this triple function of interlacing, Cervantes distances himself from his triple intertextual model (the two Orlandos and Amadís), to lay the foundations for a new way to conceive narrative.
De nuevo sobre el epigrama latino del Viaje del Parnaso
Authors: Romo Feito Fernando
Published: December 2021

This article aims to rectify an error in the translation of the Latin epigram at the beginning of Cervantes’s Viaje del Parnaso, perpetuated until the recent BCRAE edition. The translations, which vary according to whether one or the other reading is adopted to rectify the princeps edition, can be grouped in two lines: one shared by Schevill, Bonilla and Medina; the other, which departs from Eijo and Garay, appears in Rodríguez Marín, and reaches Sevilla and Rey Hazas. Astrana Marín offered an explanation for the textual difficulties. But there was another solution: that of José Vallejo, which Miguel Herrero echoed in his edition. In this article, I explain why the latter seems preferable today.

In this work, it is shown that when an ionizing radiation pulse acts on surfactant-type devices in which a silicon single crystal is deposited with a gap on a piezoelectric substrate made of lithium niobate, the output signal is distorted. It was found that, depending on the type of conductivity of the material deposited on the lithium niobate, a different character of recovery of the device parameters was observed. The effect of ionizing radiation on air-gap devices operating as a memory correlator showed that the previously recorded signals were erased at a dose rate of ≥ 106 rad. To explain these dependencies, a model is used based on the fact that photo carriers excited by ionizing radiation in the depleted layer are captured by traps at the silicon-air interface for devices with an air gap and at the silicon-silicon oxide interface for monolithic structures The presented model, which takes into account traps not at the interface, explains most of the effects that cause a change in the output high frequency (RF) signal.

Simultaneous effusive and explosive cinder cone eruptions at Veniaminof Volcano, Alaska
Authors: Waythomas Christopher
Published: December 2021

Historical eruptions of Veniaminof Volcano, Alaska have all occurred at a 300-m-high cinder cone within the icefilled caldera that characterizes the volcano. At least six of nineteen historical eruptions involved simultaneous explosive and effusive activity from separate vents. Eruptions in 1944, 1983–1984, 1993–1994, 2013, 2018 and 2021 included periods of explosive ash-producing Strombolian activity from summit vents and simultaneous nonexplosive effusion of lava from flank vents on either the southern or northeast sides of the cone. A T-junction conduit network is proposed to explain the simultaneous eruptive styles and as a mechanism for gas-magma segregation that must occur to produce the observed activity. Historical eruptions with simultaneous summit and flank activity produced slightly higher rising ash clouds compared to historical eruptions where simultaneous activity did not occur. This could be a consequence of the partitioning of more gas-charged magma into the vertical conduit of a T-junction conduit system.
Indivisible Partners or Enduring Combatants? Divisions and Triumphs in the EU-Australian Relationship
Authors: Raffin Luke
Published: December 2021

Casting the spotlight over a complex and dynamic relationship, this article seeks to diagnose the state of relations between the European Union and Australia by contrasting the sources of tension with the forces of unity in the relationship. After illuminating the substantial differences between the EU and Australia in the political, military and economic spheres, the article asserts that the Common Agricultural Policy (‘CAP’) has disproportionately influenced the EU-Australia dialogue and — like the Howard Government’s propensity to bilateralism — needlessly impeded the advancement of relations. The impact of bilateral relations with the United States and the increasingly contentious challenges posed by global climate change have threatened to destabilise the bond between Brussels and Canberra. However, the article insists that the destructive potential of CAP-related disagreement is dissipating. Rather, debates over agriculture in the EU-Australia dialogue have been emasculated by rapidly intensifying social, political and cultural integration. Moreover, the development of Australia’s relationships with its Asian neighbours promises to optimise Australian engagement with Europe. After carefully weighing these competing factors, the article concludes that — despite the transitory phases of discord — the future for the EU-Australia relationship is bright.
The EU-NATO Syndrome: Spotlight on Transatlantic Realities
Authors: Vincze Hajnalka
Published: December 2021

This article examines the relations between the European Union (EU) and NATO in light of both of the current, deeply unhealthy, state of the transatlantic relationship, and of its ongoing evolution. The first part is devoted to a retrospective outline of the links between European defence and the Atlantic system, which highlights the major constant features of these last sixty years, as well as the rupture points. Then, various issues, from the problem of the division of labour and the definition of the chain of command to coordination on the ground and arms procurement, are evoked as concrete examples where the same fundamental question marks emerge, again and again; all of them revolving around the concept of sovereignty – that of the Europeans vis-à-vis America. It is suggested in the article that current European dependence does not allow but superficial and/or temporary ‘progress’ in EU-NATO relations, just as is the case in the broader Euro-American relationship. As long as Europeans will not assume fully the objective of autonomy (i.e. freedom of decision and action, with all the commitments it would imply), their subjection will continue to generate increasing tensions, since this inherent imbalance is not only detrimental to Europe’s own interests, but it also excludes any reciprocity and prohibits any genuine partnership with the United States.
UEFA and the European Union: From Confrontation to Co-operation?
Authors: García Borja
Published: December 2021

This article investigates the relationship between UEFA, as European football’s governing body, and the EU. It assesses the evolution of UEFA as a football governing body since the Bosman ruling (1995) until current initiatives such as the rules on locally-trained players (2005-2006). The paper traces the evolution of UEFA’s reactions to the increasing involvement of EU institutions in football matters, with special focus on the regulation of the players’ market. It is argued that UEFA’s attitude towards the EU has changed in the last ten years. Whilst the EU was seen as a threat for UEFA in 1995, it is now considered a ‘long term strategic partner’. Two main reasons can be identified for UEFA’s evolution. First and foremost, UEFA has been forced to accept the primacy of European law and its application to the activities of football organisations. UEFA has had no option but to adapt to the impact of European law and policies on its activities. This has lead to a relationship of ‘supervised’ autonomy between UEFA and the EU institutions. Second, UEFA’s strategic vision to preserve its own position within the governance structures of football. UEFA has tried to enhance its legitimacy within football’s governing structures by engaging in policy co-operation with EU authorities. This paper draws almost entirely on empirical research conducted through elite interviews and the review of official documents.
The Commercialising of British Men’s Basketball: Psychological Contracts Between Coaches and Players in the Post-Bosman Game.
Authors: Owen-Pugh Valerie
Published: December 2021

This paper explores the psychological contracts of male players and coaches in British commercial basketball, and the ways in which these might be shaped by the constraining and enabling pressures of athletic talent migration. It draws on qualitative interview data to argue that commercialising changes in the game’s recent history have led to the emergence of divergent forms of psychological contract between coaches and players. These have promoted the interests of the game’s migrant Americans at the expense of its indigenous athletes. In particular, while the Americans reap the benefits of a high social reputation, material rewards and career development, many indigenous athletes working in the top-flight clubs struggle to gain remuneration and court-time and must fall back on their own resources to build self-confidence and self-respect. It is argued that this marginalising process was intensified following the Bosman ruling of 1995, which led to the exodus of many skilled indigenous players from the UK and prompted the commercial league to make more extensive use of Americans. Interpretation of the study’s findings is informed by Elias’ theory of established-outsider relations.
Through Thick and Thin: ‘European Identification’ for a Justified and Legitimate European Union
Authors: Davidson Anna C.
Published: December 2021

Debates on the viability of European integration often rest on the need for some form of common European identity. This article looks at European integration through the framework of normative political theory to explore what form of European identity is needed for the EU to be considered both justified – having a good or just reason for existence, and legitimate – having consent from its citizens. It critiques arguments for a purely justified EU, which rule out the need for a common European identity, as well as those requiring a thick common identity for a legitimate EU. In contrast, this article argues for a European identification that is both desirable as an identity and works to sustain a justified and legitimate EU. The proposed conception of European identification takes into consideration national and sub-national identities and opens up the potential for Europeanised identities at multiple levels.
'Communicating Europe': The Role of Organised Civil Society
Authors: Monaghan Elizabeth
Published: December 2021

The European Commission’s new ‘communication strategy’ has been presented as a radically new way of bridging the gap between the citizens of the member states and the European Union (EU) institutions. However it should also be seen as the latest in a long line of attempts to solve the problems of democratic legitimacy from which the EU is said to suffer. The rhetoric of the strategy is infused with highly commendable objectives and desirable principles stating how effective communication can help the EU connect more closely with citizens, and calling upon all relevant stakeholders – specifically civil society – to contribute to this project. Democratic theories of civil society provide support for the idea that civil society can play a linkage role between citizens and political structures. But empirical research on processes of interest representation in the EU casts doubt on whether organisations purporting to represent various strands within European civil society are able and willing to help bring citizens and the EU closer together. Turning the empirical focus to the organisations themselves it becomes apparent that simply invoking civil society involvement in ‘communicating Europe’ is not a sufficient guarantee of success. Instead, the nature of the communication activities, the characteristics of the organisations in question, and the issue of funding all have implications for the role of civil society in communicating Europe.
Variaciones estacionales de parámetros reproductivos, calidad espermática y enzimas del plasma seminal en carneros texel
Authors: Ojeda P. M. , Manes J. , Aller J. F.
Published: December 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue determinar el efecto de la estación del año (fotoperíodo) sobre la circunferencia escrotal (CE), peso testicular (PT), volumen testicular (VT), capacidad de servicio (CS), concentración plasmática de testosterona, características cuali-cuantitativas del semen fresco y enzimas del plasma seminal de carneros de raza Texel. El estudio se realizó en la pampa húmeda de Argentina (37°45’ S, 58°18’ O, 130 msnm). Se utilizaron seis carneros jóvenes (2 años de edad) y las determinaciones realizadas, peso vivo, CE, PT [PT=0,5533 x (L) x (A)2], VT [VT=4/3 x (n) x (L/2) x (A/2)2] (siendo L=longitud y A=ancho del testículo) y testosterona plasmática se realizaron una vez por mes. La prueba de CS se realizó dos veces por estación y la evaluación del semen se efectuó dos veces por semana durante el mes central de cada estación. Las variables fueron analizadas mediante modelos lineales mixtos para medidas repetidas en el tiempo (R Core Team). En verano (Marzo) se observaron los mayores valores (media ±EE; p<0,05) de CE (33,8±0,6 cm), PT (467,5±15,2 g) y VT (442,3±8,5 cm3). El número promedio de montas totales fue mayor (p<0,05) en invierno (21) respecto de la primavera (9). La mayor concentración plasmática de testosterona (p<0,05) fue determinada en verano (Enero=13,2±2,9 ng/ml) y la menor en invierno (Sep- tiembre=0,13±0,1 ng/ml). Eyaculados (n=192) fueron evaluados y los mejores parámetros de calidad seminal fueron determinados en otoño e invierno. Los patrones anuales de las enzimas alanina-amino-transferasa y lactato-deshidrogenasa mostraron una significativa variación estacional (p<0,05), con la más alta actividad durante la estación reproductiva. Por otro lado, las concentraciones de aspartato-amino-transferasa, gama-glutamil-transpeptidasa y fosfatasa alcalina fueron más bajas en verano. Los resultados sugieren que los carneros Texel presentan un mayor potencial reproductivo en la estación de otoño (fotoperíodo decreciente) en esta latitud.
