Objective. To study the character and peculiarities of structural changes of esophageal, gastric and duodenal wall in patients with an acute pancreatitis.

Materials and methods. Analysis of the esophago–gastro–duodenoscopy results was conducted in 86 patients with estimation of endoscopic signs of the motor–evacuation and organic disorders of foregut.

Results. Endoscopic signs of gastrostasis were observed in 17 (20.0%) patients, of duodeno–gastric reflux – in 29 (34.0%), and reflux–oesophagitis – in 14 (16.2%). Reactive inflammatory mucosal gastro–duodenal changes (erythematous and hemorrhagic–erosive gastro–duodenopathy) were determined in 22 (25.6%) patients: in 12 (14.0%) – in moderately severe, and in 10 (11.6%) – in severe acute pancreatitis. In 24 (28.0%) patients an acute erosions of gastric antrum and first duodenal segment were revealed, and in 14 (16.0%) – acute ulcers, which dominated in severe course of the disease.

Conclusion. The endoscopic signs of the foregut organic disorders established constitute the predictor of the course severity in an acute pancreatitis and serve a criterion of its diagnosis.

Exploring Environmental Ethics: From Exclusion of More-than-Human Beings Towards a New Materialist Paradigm
Authors:   Aksaray University, Göçmen Gülşah
Published: October 2023

Environmental ethics deals with discussing the ethical framework of environmental values, their organization and regulation, and their ethical premises. One of the main cul-de-sacs that environmental ethics has is its anthropocentrism that can be observed through its diverse ethical approaches—even ecocentric ones, developed as non-anthropocentric egalitarian alternatives. This article aims to question the exclusiveness of Anthropos, the practices, values, and discourses that determine the scope and course of environmental ethics, and the exclusion of nonhuman animals or more-than human beings from its focus. It first examines the main approaches in environmental ethics (land ethic, deep ecology, social ecology, and postmodern environmental ethics)—biocentric, ecocentric, anthropocentric, socialist, postmodern—and reveals that they are but limited to the human perspective, deeply rooted in human exceptionalism. All of these approaches provide us with a critical frame that still needs to be deconstructed so that they will not project an anthropocentric orientation. This article posits that the compass of environmental ethics, recently aligning itself to embrace the more-than-human world in its ecocentric attitude, still needs to be revisited for its discourses of exclusion. At this point, new materialism functions as a prolific theoretical site as it diminishes the classical boundaries between human and animal or subject and object that anthropocentric environmental ethics relies on. With such concepts as “agential realism” (Barad), “transcorporeal ethics” (Alaimo), “vibrant matter” (Bennett), or “storied matter” (Oppermann and Iovino) the new materialist view of the human and the nonhuman evolves to end set dualities in the discourses of environmental ethics. This article concludes that the new materialist theory destabilizes any anthropocentric position in environmental ethics and includes more-than-human beings in its ethical focus, discarding any dualities that serve anthropocentrism or human exceptionalism.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Faruk
Published: October 2023

1755’te Gaziantep’te doğan Ahmet Âsım CENANİOĞLU’nun 13 Ekim 1805’te yazmaya başlayıp 11 Kasım 1810’da tamamladığı Al-ÚÀmūsu’l-Muóīt Tercümesi, Türk dili tarihinde hazırlanmış ve tercüme edilmiş sözlükler arasında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Al-ÚÀmūsu’l-Muóīt ilk olarak İstanbul’da 1815-1817 yılları arasında Matbaa-i Amire’de aslına uygun biçimde 3 cilt olarak basılmıştır. Yazma nüshanın birinci cildi ra (ر) harfinin ortalarına kadar 684 varak; kalın kaf (ق) harfinin ortalarına kadar olan ikinci cildi 689 varak ve son cildi 647 varaktır. Toplamda 2020 varak olan eserin her bir sayfasında 37 satır bulunmaktadır. Mütercim Asım’ın kitabı tercüme ederken Arapça kavramlara Türkçe karşılıklar bulma çabası, onun bu eserini başka tercümelerden farklı kılan özelliklerin en önemlisi olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Al-ĶÀmūsu’l-Muhīt tercümesinde geçen hastalık adları üzerinde durmak ve bu hastalık isimlerini incelemektir. Al-ĶÀmūsu’l-Muhīt Tercümesi’nde çok sayıda hastalık adı ve hastalıklarla ilgili kavramlar tespit edilmiştir. Bu da mütercimin ne kadar bilgili olduğunu ve tercümesinin ne kadar zengin olduğunu göstermektedir. İçinde pek çok bilgi barındıran ve ansiklopedi mahiyetinde olan bu sözlük, özellikle hastalık adları konusunda çok zengindir. Dolayısıyla, çok sayıdaki bu hastalık adlarını ve kavramları ortaya koymak bu çalışmanın temel hedefi olacaktır.
Avni Givda’nın tiyatroları ve tragedya örneği olarak Gece oyunu
Authors: KARACAR Mahir
Published: October 2023

Avni Givda, Cumhuriyet Dönemi Türk edebiyatında roman, hikâye, oyun türünde eserler yazmış ve yaptığı çevirilerle ardında çok sayıda yapıt bırakmış bir sanatçıdır. Buna rağmen yazar, edebiyat dünyasında adını duyuramamış ve eserleri geniş okuyucu kitlelerine ulaşamamıştır. Givda’nın eserleri arasında özellikle oyun türünde kaleme aldıkları dikkat çeker. Bu oyunlardan bazıları sahne tekniğine pek uygun olmasa da oyunların özgün bir tarafı bulunur. Özellikle oyunlarında ele aldığı konular okurların pek alışık olmadığı türdendir. Ayrıca yazarın kendine özgü bir üslubu bulunur. Dil konusunda öz Türkçeye bağlı olduğu görülür. Bundan dolayı eserlerinde arkaik sözcüklere sıklıkla rastlanır. Yazarın Gece adlı oyunu klasik tragedyadan izler taşır. Oyun kahramanı olan Doktor’un kızı doğum yaparken hayatını kaybedince Doktor büyük bir boşluğa düşmüştür. Bu noktada klasik tragedyadaki “baht dönüşümü” yaşanır. Doktor, yaşadığı büyük acı yüzünden Tanrı’dan intikam almak için bütün insanlığı yok edecek bir iksir yapar ve yaptığı hatanın cezasını canıyla öder. Bu açıdan bakıldığında oyunda Doktor “trajik kahramanı” hatırlatmaktadır. Yine oyunda Doktor’un soylu bir aileden gelmesi, kibirli davranması ve oyunda koronun bulunması klasik tragedyanın özelliklerindendir. Bununla birlikte eserin tam anlamıyla klasik tragedya olarak kurgulandığı söylenemez. Dönemi itibari ile yazar, gerekli gördüğü yerlerde değişikliklere gitmiştir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında yazarın tragedya türüne vakıf olduğu ve bu türün özelliklerini kendine has bir üslupla yansıtmaya çalıştığı, yer yer modern tragedyadan da beslendiği söylenebilir. Bu çalışmada Avni Givda’nın Gece oyununda klasik tragedyanın etkisi incelenmiştir. Yazarın oyunları üzerine daha önce herhangi bir çalışma yapılmadığı için öncelikle oyunları hakkında kısaca bilgi verilmiştir. Gece oyunu incelendiğinde hem klasik hem de modern tragedyadan izler taşıdığı tespit edilmiştir.
Türk Edebiyatında Mi’râciyye türü ve Necip Fazıl Kısakürek’in Miraç şiiri üzerine bir inceleme
Authors: YAVUZER Mehmet Şahin
Published: October 2023

Miraç, Hz. Peygamber’in Mescîd-i Aksâ’dan göğe yükselmesi olarak bilinen, Müslümanlarca kutsal kabul edilen bir hadiseyi ifade eder. Mi’râçiyye ise Hz. Peygamber’in Allah’a olan bu yolculuğu üzerine yazılan şiirlerdir. Sadece bu konu ekseninde yazılması, mi’râçiyye türünü ortaya çıkarmıştır. Sahabelerden Ka’b bin Züheyr’in Kâside-i bürde’sinde ilk örneği görülen miraç hadisesinin şiirin bir konusu haline gelmesi zamanla birçok edebi türe yansır. Mevlit, siyer gibi türlerin içinde bir bölüm olarak yer verildiği gibi müstakil bir eser olarak da kaleme alınır. Hz. Peygamber’i konu alan edebi türler arasındaki mi’râçiyye, Türklerde ilk Satuk Buğra Han’ın destanında görülür. Daha sonra hem Horasan hem de Anadolu coğrafyasında birçok şair tarafından eserlerine konu edindiği bilinmektedir. Hâkim Ata, Ahmedî, Âşık Paşa, Nâbi gibi şairler bu türden çalışmalar kaleme alırlar. Günümüze kadar sürdürülen bu türün müstakil örneklerinden biri de Necip Fazıl tarafından yazılır. Cumhuriyet sonrası Türk Edebiyatının İslami söylem bağlamında önemli bir temsilcisi olan Necip Fazıl, Miraç adlı şiiriyle miraç hadisesini hem Kur’an’daki hem de hadislere yansıyan şekliyle mi’râçiyye türünde geleneksel imgelere bağlı modern bir şiir okura sunar. Otuz iki beyitten oluşan şiirin, metafizik bir derinlikle kaleme alındığı görülür. Şiirde miraç hadisesi bütün yönleri ve önemli ayrıntılarıyla ele alınıp ontolojik bir bakış çerçevesinde yorumlanır. Allah ve Hz. Muhammed arasındaki iletişime dikkat çekilerek tevhit inancı da ayrıca vurgulanır.
Şahsiyet eğitimi yönüyle siyasetnameler ve Manisalı Ahmed Esad Efendi’nin Nasîhatü’l-mülûk Tercümesi
Authors: TAŞTAN Erdoğan , GÖKÇE Orhan Gazi
Published: October 2023

Türk-İslam eğitim geleneği; duyguların tekâmülü, kendilik bilgisi ve şahsiyet olgunluğu üzerine kuruludur. Bilginin öğrenilmesi kadar onun içselleştirilmesi ve olumlu davranışa dönüşmesi temel bir gaye olarak benimsenir. Bu gayeye münasip olarak Türk düşüncesine zemin teşkil eden metinler arasında zikredebileceğimiz siyasetnameler, eğitim bilimleri açısından da son derece önemli kaynaklardır. Siyasetnameler temelde ideal bir şahsiyet olarak insanı yaşatmak, onu terbiye edip iyi bir insan olarak yetiştirmek, aynı zamanda devleti adalet ve emniyet temelleri üzerinde yüceltmek maksadıyla dönemin âlim, ârif ve kimi zaman da tecrübeli devlet adamları tarafından kaleme alınmıştır. Bu metinler, ilk muhatapları olan sultan kadar ikinci yahut yaygın muhatapları açısından da bağlayıcıdır. Sultanın idealize edilmiş vasıfları benzer şekilde toplumun her bir ferdinin sahip olması istenen vasıflar olarak kabul edilir. Siyasetnameler; tarih, siyaset bilimi, sosyoloji gibi alanlara da önemli bir kaynaklık teşkil eder. Bu metinler her ne kadar devlet yönetimine ilişkin din, töre ve tarihî tecrübelerden esinlenen nasihatleri barındırsa da muhatabı insan olduğu için öncelikle onun şahsiyetini inşa etmeyi hedefler. Nitekim devlet aygıtı onu yöneten insanların şahsiyeti ve iradesiyle istikamet kazanır. Bu yönüyle siyasetnamelerde geleneksel terbiyenin esas ve yöntemlerinin izlerini sürmek mümkündür. Siyasetnamelerde öngörülen prensipler ve model olarak ortaya konulan meziyetler, günümüz eğitim düşüncesi açısından da ilham vericidir. Çalışmada en önemli siyasetnamelerinden biri olarak kabul edilen İmâm Gazâlî’nin (ö.505/1111) Nasîhatü’l-mülûk isimli eserinin 19. yüzyılın ilk yarısında Manisalı Ahmed Esad Efendi tarafından yapılan tercümesinin örnekliğinden yararlanılmıştır. Hususen bu çalışma nihai olarak bahsi geçen tercümede şahsiyet eğitimine ilişkin öne çıkan kavramları içerik çözümlemesi yöntemiyle tahlil etmeyi ve buradan hareketle siyasetnamelere ilişkin farklı bir bakış açısı yakalamayı hedeflemektedir.
Bir Hami, Bir Şair: Nabi’nin Musahip Mustafa Paşa’ya Yazdığı Şiirleri
Authors: ERCAN Özlem
Published: October 2023

Sultan IV. Mehmed dönemi (1648-1687) ikinci veziri ve musahibi Musahip Mustafa Paşa (ö. 1685-1686?), aynı zamanda Sultan’ın kız kardeşi Hadice Sultan’ın eşi olup Kamaniçe Kalesi muhasarasında bulunmuş, kaptanıderya olarak görev yapmış, Mora seraskerliği vazifesinde bulunmuştur. Devlet işlerinde çok da ön planda olmadığı anlaşılan Paşa, sanatkârların ve sanatın hamisi olarak tanınmış; günümüze ulaşan sadece bir şiiri olmasına rağmen hattat, ilim, irfan sahibi ve sanat ehli bir kişi olarak dikkat çekmiştir. Aynı zamanda musahip olması sebebiyle padişahın güvenini kazanmış bir devlet adamı olduğu da aşikârdır. Edebiyat tarihinde ise Nabi ile ilgili kaynaklarda şairin hamisi olarak sıklıkla anılır. Ancak bu tarihî şahısla ilgili kaynaklarda sanat ehli ve Nabi ile ilişkisi konusuna yeterince açıklık getirilmez. Makalenin amacı, kaynaklar ve Nabi’nin şiirleri ışığında bu bağı tespit etmek hem de şairin hamisine yaptığı övgüleri ortaya koymaktır. Makalede Musahip Mustafa Paşa’nın biyografik ve tarihî kaynaklardan yola çıkarak hayatı ve sanatçılarla olan ilişkisine yer verildi. Ayrıca şairden bahseden kaynaklarda ve Nabi’nin Münşe’at’ında Paşa’dan ne şekilde söz edildiği saptanarak ikisinin arasındaki bağa dair izler arandı. Sonrasında ise Nabi’nin Paşa için kaleme aldığı bir mesnevi, dört kaside, beş tarih kıtası ve bir müzeyyel gazelden hareketle şairin Paşa’ya yönelik övgüleri üzerinde duruldu. Genellikle bu övgülerin Paşa’nın cömertliği, bağışları ve tabiatı çerçevesinde sınırlı kaldığı, askerî sahada ya da devlet işlerinde geri planda olan Paşa’nın bu yönlerinin methiyelere çok az yansıtıldığı görüldü.
Utilisation of Waste Plastics Admix with Laterite Soil for Production of Road Pavement Interlocking Blocks

Published: October 2023

Plastic wastes are non-biodegradable and hence pile up in refuse dumps and streets constituting an eyesore and menace to the environment. Some of them end up in drainages and waterways where they block water passages resulting in flooding. This is in addition to the fatalities they cause to livestock and marine life that ingest them unknowingly. Globally, plastic waste proliferation has been recognized among the biggest environmental challenges mitigating the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). This research intends to transform the unwanted plastic wastes by mixing with laterite soil to produce road-paving interlocking blocks. Laterite soil was mixed with plastic waste at various proportions by respective weight denoted as P1 (60:40%), P2 (70:30%), and P3 (80:20%) to determine their usability as road paving material. Maximum compressive strength of 9.68, 10.40, and 6.88 N/mm2 were achieved for P1, P2, and P3 respectively, implying the P2 mix has the best strength. The paving interlocking blocks made from plastic-laterite composite registered a relatively high performance and met the minimum compressive strength required by the Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute for interlocking paving blocks deployed for non-traffic use.
Transit-oriented Development from the View of Traditional City Model
Authors: Nafi Sara , Ouahrani Djamel
Published: October 2023

Several communities have adopted the transit-oriented development (TOD) model to improve the urban form of the city. Through the TOD model, citizens are enabled and encouraged to travel by public transit and live near it, resulting in a compact, walkable city. By emphasizing these principles, cities are able to create a sustainable urban environment that is beneficial to everyone. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between transit-oriented development (TOD) and traditional city models and to promote the TOD model among Middle Eastern planners. Although Peter Calthorpe developed the TOD model in the early 1990s, the elements of TOD have existed in traditional cities for a long time. Literature has not explored the relationship between these two models; therefore, traditional cities and their development have been studied, such as Marrakech and Fes in Morocco. Marrakech and Fes are both examples of traditional cities in Morocco. The two cities have different features, such as Marrakech’s riads, the old city walls, and the souks while Fes is known for its medina, the University of Al-Qarawiyyin, and its tanneries. This research, therefore, aimed to understand the correlation between traditional city models and TOD models by investigating: (a) the concept and diverse types of TOD models; (b) the relationship between TOD and traditional city models, and (c) the presence of TOD elements in traditional cities. This research provided insights into the opportunities and challenges of combining TOD models with traditional city models, in order to achieve more sustainable urban development.

Published: October 2023

Aesthetic control is concerned with the visual appearance of the built environment, specifically in the urban setting. The built environment aesthetics can directly influence place identity, property values and the business owners’ financial status in the area. People’s behavior in terms of choosing a place to live or do business is also affected by the locality’s aesthetics. Qatar has invested heavily in the built environment over the last two decades, which has shed light on the importance of government adopted aesthetic control measures to preserve the identity of Qatar’s built form. This paper reviews the current control measures and provides some directions to adopt in the building permit process in support of Qatar’s National Master Plan 2032. The paper recommends a strategy to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment for a swift implementation of aesthetic/design control in Qatar until a fully integrated solution is adopted to align with the built environment as proposed in the Qatar National Master Plan 2032. Digital tools can foster designs that can restore the quality of compromised ecosystems. A partnership platform can be created between the building permit unit and pre-selected private design-oriented consultants. Lastly, this research initiative could be used by other countries subject to similar development dynamics as a precedent to further develop their own aesthetic control measures.

Published: October 2023

Globalisation and our fast-paced world have opened up new horizons all over the world. Population growth, rising energy prices and their declining nature are creating problems for transport. Road congestion, drastic increases in journey times and rising travel costs have highlighted the importance of improving public transport. However, for public transport to be attractive, it is essential that the transport alternative itself is fast, comfortable and modern. In this paper, we examine two metro construction projects in cities with high populations from a project management perspective, with a particular focus on the main purpose of the project, its usability. In this study, we want to highlight the visible goals expressed by the end users and their reflection in the project. We want to focus on the different phases of project management that lead to the success of the project.
Revisiting the Building Design Attributes and Indoor Radon: A Survey of 36 Homes in the Commonwealth of Kentucky
Authors: Mansour Osama E. , Aly Shahnaz , Hall Peter
Published: October 2023

Radon is an odorless radioactive gas that exists in the soil underneath buildings in areas that is rich in Radium and Uranium. It seeps from the soil and accumulates in the indoor environment. In 2009, radon gas has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer as being carcinogenic to humans. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer after smoking in the United States. EPA recommends homeowners mitigate their houses against radon if the indoor radon concentration exceeds 4 pCi/L. Building new healthy homes while developing affordable building renovation strategies is one of the key solutions to mitigate the impacts of such environmental hazards. This research explores the relationship between building design attributes and radon gas in areas prone to higher concentrations of indoor radon. 36 homes with different age, design features, and construction materials were tested in Bowling green Kentucky, an area classified as zone 1 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Zone 1 is defined by the EPA as an area where the predicted indoor radon average is greater than 4 pCi/L. The survey also collected data about the architectural design, construction materials, structure systems, HVAC systems, and building envelope design of each house that participated in the study. The purpose is to feedback to the construction industry with potential improvements to help with the current indoor radon mitigation efforts. The results open the doors for further research needed to enhance the current building design and construction methods in areas prone to a higher concentration of indoor radon.
The Dependent Clogging Dynamics and Its Impact on Porous Media Permeability Reduction
Authors: Elrahmani Ahmed , Al-Raoush Riyadh I.
Published: October 2023

The dynamics of fine particle entrapment, transport, and deposition within pore systems, particularly the ability of mobile fines to impair permeability within porous media, are critical to a variety of natural and manmade phenomena, impacting oil and gas recovery, slope stability, filter capacity, and the efficiency of lab-on-chip diagnostics in medical disciplines. According to the research, clogging of pore throats in the porous media is not a random process; clogged throats, in particular, modify flow conditions and promote subsequent clogging nearby which is called dependent clogging. Over the last several decades, significant efforts have been made to identify and parameterize the role of dependent clogging in permeability reduction, with studies applying a combination of physical investigation and numerical simulation to this objective. In this work, we deploy a coupled computational fluid dynamics-discrete element method-based framework to investigate fines migration and consequent pore-throat clogging within a geologically realistic pore system extracted from an x-ray microtomographic image of a sand pack. The analysis of the simulation results revealed a spatial correlation between the clogged throats, implying that throats in close proximity became clogged dependently around the same time. Furthermore, dependent clogging was observed to be more frequent than independent clogging and it impacts system permeability more efficiently. This suggests that the distribution of clogged throats has a significant impact on the system's permeability reduction other than the total number of clogged throats.
How Efficient Would Demand-Based Water Strategies Be for Qatar?
Authors: Ghanimeh Sophia
Published: October 2023

Qatar is a water scarce country that heavily relies on seawater desalination. Multiple studies have concluded the need for a more resilient water planning through efficient "demand control" strategies. This study is among the very few attempts to "quantify" the actual impact of such solutions on the water sector. The purpose of this work is to generate "indicative" water usage figures to inform the (non-technical) decision makers and prove the benefits of shifting toward demand-based water strategies. A scenario-based approach was adopted, considering: maintaining status quo (scenario 1), improving the water pricing system (scenario 2), and regulating greywater reuse (scenario 3). Scenario 2 estimates the impact of water tariff increase based on Price Elasticity of Demand in neighbouring countries. Scenario 3 considers imposing on-site greywater reuse as part of the permitting process (for new constructions only). The study forecasted, up to year 2100, the impacts of demand control measures on: (1) domestic water consumption, (2) volume of desalinated water, (3) year by which additional desalination capacity is needed, and (4) year by which wastewater treatment facilities need expansion. It was shown that, by improving the water tariff system, the total domestic water consumption is reduced by up to 27% (equivalent to 16-19% reduction in total demand for desalinated water). As a result, the need to expand the water desalination facilities and the wastewater treatment infrastructure is delayed substantially: 15-20 years and 15-30 years, respectively. Also, regulating greywater reuse may reduce domestic water consumption by up to 6%.
Recycling of Tetra Pak for Space and Water Heating by Blending with Phase Change Materials
Authors: Nishad Safna , Krupa Igor
Published: October 2023

A rapid rise in demands for thermal comfort in the building sector necessitates higher energy consumption for air conditioning, ventilation, space, and water heating systems. Recently, phase change materials (PCMs) have gained much attention from researchers for passive heating/cooling of space and water. PCM can store/release thermal energy as latent heat during its phase change process isothermally. Moreover, PCM facilitates solar energy harvesting by photothermal conversion and storage. However, major limitations of PCM include low thermal conductivity, leakage during phase change, and lack of photoabsorbance. Therefore, in this study, the shape-stabilized phase change composites were prepared by melt blending of Paraffin Wax (PW), Tetra Pak (TP), and expanded graphite (EG). PW is an organic PCM, widely being studied due to its high enthalpy, availability at various melting points, and chemical and thermal stability. In addition to providing shape stability and thermal conductivity enhancement of PCM, the usage of TP promotes the recycling of TP waste into useful products. The addition of EG contributes to the thermal conductivity increase of 3.6 times that of pure PW. Moreover, the excellent photoabsorption of EG and TP effectively converted the photo energy to thermal energy and stored it as latent heat by PW in the composite. Two types of composites using PW of melting points 44 ℃ and 64 ℃ were exhibited a photothermal conversion and storage efficiency of 80 and 55 %, respectively and which is promising for solar water heating applications.

Published: October 2023

Due to the expansion of industry, the world's population growth has led to increased air and water contamination. Because they are poisonous and non-biodegradable, organic dyes are a significant source of this contamination. Studies have concentrated on photocatalysts to transform organic dyes into innocuous compounds in order to lessen the harm that organic colours cause. In this study, solution combustion technique was employed to prepare rare-earth metal (terbium (Tb)) doped lanthanum silicate phosphor (La10Si6O27) using lanthanum nitrate and fumed silica were utilized as precursors, oxalyldihydrazide was used as fuel, and terbium nitrate was used as a dopant. The photocatalytic activities for the Direct Green-23 (DG23) dye degradation under UV irradiation were studied and found that 59.05% of dyes degraded at 120 min. These findings shows that, La10Si6O27 is a promising material for industrial dye degradation since 59.05% of the dyes were absorbed by the material in 120 min.

Published: October 2023

The world is suffering from limited sources of energy thus finding a renewable and sustainable source is very crucial. Cow manure is an unexploited treasure and is expected to have a high potential for energy recovery. This study aimed to evaluate biogas production from cow manure (CM) under an anaerobic condition. The cow manure was collected from a local farm in Oman and diluted with a ratio of 1:3 (dry CM/Water). The diluted cow manure (DCM) was characterized and found to have pH 7.9, total solids (TS) 8930 mg/L, total dissolved solids (TDS)1390 mg/L, dissolved organic carbon (DOC) 8160 mg/L and electrical conductivity (EC) 2730 µS/cm. The used anaerobic reactor (20 litres, black) was fed with DCM (15 litres) and operated at atmospheric mesophilic conditions (40 to 45 C). The gas was measured by the water displacement method. The results revealed that the biogas was generated in low amounts after three days (119 mL) and achieved more than 20 litres after nine days. The percentage of volatile solids to total solids was found to be 71% and the production of the biogas was calculated as 131 L/kg VS. This study is believed to pave the way for reducing the pressure on landfills and converting an environmental burden into a product of added value serving the circular economy theme.

Corrosion damage, which can be considered as a construction or usage defect during the life of the structure, is an important parameter for the structural elements. Strength loss is observed in reinforced concrete (RC) elements due to corrosion, which is an important parameter affecting the performance of the building. Determining the shear strength of beams with corroded reinforcement is important in terms of strength loss, design, and reinforcement criteria in the structural element. In this context, the data of the corroded RC beam experimental tests carried out in the literature were collected and the ultimate shear strength values of the beams were determined depending on the test parameters. Strength estimation was performed with machine learning regression algorithms XGBoost and AdaBoost. The results obtained were evaluated with R2, RMSE and MAE performance metrics and high estimation success was achieved. The study shows that with these systems, which can perform learning based on experimental data, it is possible to estimate the shear strength values of corroded beams with known production parameters without the need for experimental measurements.

Sweet potato is a tuber crop which is grown for both its tubers and vines. The tubers are used as human food while the vines are used as livestock feed. It is a crop that is able to resist drought conditions and will take a short time to mature hence plays a big role in food security in Kenya. There are many different varieties of sweet potatoes in the world and in Kenya which differ in growth and yield characteristics. Since most of the population in Embu West Sub County is made up of small scale farmers who undertake farming as an economic activity, it is necessary for them to adopt the variety that produces the highest yield. A study was carried out to determine effects of enhancing suit potatoes variety diversity in increasing yield and quality of tuber of SPK004, Kenspot 3 and Kenspot 4.Data on specific growth and yield parameters was collected in two seasons , summarized using excel then analysed using SPSS version 23, α=0.05. The study showed significant growth and yield potential difference in all yield parameters among the three sweet potato varieties with Kenspot 4 being the highest producer of and biomass above the ground and widest tuber diameter.

Authors: AKBULUT Mustafa Kemal
Published: October 2023

In this study, the leaf and stem structure of Tamarix tetrandra Pallas ex. Bieb. species, which are distributed in riparian and salt marshes, were examined in terms of anatomical and micromorphological aspects. Specimens of the species have been preserved in 70% alcohol for anatomical study. Herbarium specimens were used for micromorphological studies. The studies showed that there were differences in anatomy and micromorphology. It was found that the stomata were embedded in the epidermis in the samples distributed in the salt marsh. In addition, stem epidermal cell length, sclerenchyma cell diameter, sieve tube cell diameter, and pith cell diameter were found to be greater in riparian species. In the correlation analysis, a positive correlation was observed between leaf lower surface stomata width and upper epidermis cell width, and between stem sclerenchymatic cell diameter and upper epidermis cell width in species distributed in salt marshes. The studies did not find intensive salt accumulation in the stem and leaf structures of the species that spread in the salt marsh. Salt uptake is thought to be inhibited in these species.
