Published: June 2022

Current study is based on the fortification of lentil in dough as a substitute of fat in soft dough cookies. Fat replacement in “Low Calorie Foods” is major challenge for food processors. The chemical composition of lentil-wheat composite flour was analyzed with NIR. The composite flour of lentil was used in accordance with the quantity of fat used in cookies’ formulation i.e. 10, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50%. The changes in rheological behavior of the dough, due to elevated level of lentil, were studied by the Farinograph and Alveograph. Present studies significantly correlate with the overall quality score with Alveograph characteristics (P, L and W). Cookies made with composite flour were acceptable up to 50% and were showing an appealing sensory score, without any significant adverse effect on taste, aroma or the texture. Functional properties of composite flour, such as foaming capacity, foaming stability and swelling power suggest the use of lentil as a fat substitute may be beneficial.

Published: June 2022

Abstract. The aim of the study was to evaluate the growth, body and ultrasonic
measurements and some carcass traits of purebred Ramlıç, Texel and
crossbred (87.5 % Ramlıç and 12.5 % Texel) lambs in a marker-assisted introgression (MAI) project. The effects of some environmental
factors such as genotype, sex, birth type, dam age, weaning age, and birth
weight on growth, ultrasound measurements, and carcass traits were
significant (P<0.05). There were no significant differences
between pure Ramlıç and its myostatin carrier (+/-) and non-carrier
(-/-) second backcrosses (BC2) for birth weight, daily live weight
gain, and weaning weight. The BC2 genotype (+/-) was statistically
caught up with pure Ramlıç for wither height, body length, and rump
width. Differences in the longissimus muscle depth indicated that the
BC2 (+/-) genotypes tended to be better for both pure Ramlıç
and Texel lambs. Texel lambs were superior to Ramlıç in the aspect of
some carcass characteristics such as leg length, cold right-half carcass
weight, foreleg weight in the left-half carcass, and muscle weight in the
left leg. BC2 (+/-) lambs were in the middle of both breeds
for the traits. BC2 lambs carrying myostatin did not vary from Ramlıç morphologically. The new type of Ramlıç was also closer to Texel
in the aspect of carcass characteristics. In this connection, improvement of
indigenous breeds could be achieved by MAI without changing the essential
characteristics. For the summary, please visit http://www.mustafatekerli.com (last access: 14 June 2022).

Published: June 2022

Abstract. Refractory black carbon (rBC) aerosols play an important role in
air quality and climate change, yet highly time-resolved and detailed
investigations on the physicochemical properties of rBC and its associated
coating are still scarce. In this work, we used a laser-only Aerodyne soot
particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS) to exclusively measure
rBC-containing (rBCc) particles, and we compared their properties with those of the total nonrefractory submicron particles (NR-PM1) measured in parallel by a high-resolution AMS (HR-AMS) in Shanghai. Observations showed that, overall, rBC was thickly coated, with an average mass ratio of coating to rBC core (RBC) of ∼5.0 (±1.7). However, the ratio of the mass of the rBC-coating species to the mass of those species in NR-PM1 was only 19.1 (±4.9) %; sulfate tended to condense preferentially on non-rBC particles, so the ratio of the sulfate on rBC to the NR-PM1 sulfate was only 7.4 (±2.2) %, while the majority (72.7±21.0 %) of the primary organic aerosols (POA) were associated with rBC. Positive matrix factorization revealed that organics emitted from cooking did not coat rBC, and a portion of the organics that coated rBC was from biomass burning; such organics were unidentifiable in NR-PM1. Small rBCc particles were predominantly from traffic, while large-sized ones were often mixed with secondary components and typically had a thick coating. Sulfate and secondary organic aerosol (SOA) species were generated mainly through daytime photochemical oxidation (SOA formation, likely associated with in situ chemical conversion of traffic-related POA to SOA), while nocturnal heterogeneous formation was dominant for nitrate; we also estimated an average time of 5–19 h for those secondary species to coat rBC.
During a short period that was affected by ship emissions, particles were
characterized as having a high vanadium concentration (on average 6.3±3.1 ng m−3) and a mean vanadium/nickel mass ratio of 2.0 (±0.6). Furthermore, the size-resolved hygroscopicity parameter
(κrBCc) of rBCc particles was obtained based on their full chemical characterization, and was parameterized as κrBCc(x)=0.29–0.14 × exp⁡(-0.006×x) (where x ranges from 150 to 1000 nm). Under critical supersaturations (SSC) of 0.1 % and 0.2 %, the D50 values were
166 (±16) and 110 (±5) nm, respectively, and 16 (±3) % and 59 (±4) %, respectively, of the rBCc particles by number could be activated into cloud condensation nuclei (CCN). Our findings are valuable for advancing the understanding of BC chemistry as well as the effective control of atmospheric BC pollution.

Abstract. Accurate simulation of ammonia (NH3) volatilization
from fertilized croplands is crucial to enhancing fertilizer-use efficiency
and alleviating environmental pollution. In this study, a process-oriented
model, CNMM–DNDC (Catchment Nutrient Management Model–DeNitrification–DeComposition), was evaluated and modified using NH3
volatilization observations from 44 and 19 fertilizer application events in
cultivated uplands and paddy rice fields in China, respectively. The major
modifications for simulating NH3 volatilization from cultivated uplands were primarily derived from a peer-reviewed and published study. NH3 volatilization from cultivated uplands was jointly regulated by wind speed, soil depth, clay fraction, soil temperature, soil moisture, vegetation canopy, and rainfall-induced canopy wetting. Moreover, three principle modifications were made to simulate NH3 volatilization from paddy rice fields. First, the simulation of the floodwater layer and its pH were added.
Second, the effect of algal growth on the diurnal fluctuation in floodwater
pH was introduced. Finally, the Jayaweera–Mikkelsen model was introduced to
simulate NH3 volatilization. The results indicated that the original
CNMM–DNDC not only performed poorly in simulating NH3 volatilization
from cultivated uplands but also failed to simulate NH3 volatilization
from paddy rice fields. The modified model showed remarkable performances in simulating the cumulative NH3 volatilization of the calibrated and
validated cases, with drastically significant zero-intercept linear
regression of slopes of 0.94 (R2 = 0.76, n = 40) and 0.98 (R2 = 0.71, n = 23), respectively. The simulated NH3 volatilization from cultivated uplands was primarily regulated by the dose and type of the nitrogen fertilizer and the irrigation implementation, while the simulated NH3 volatilization from rice paddy fields was sensitive to soil pH; the dose and depth of nitrogen fertilizer application; and flooding management strategies, such as floodwater pH and depth. The modified model is acceptable to compile regional or national NH3 emission inventories and develop strategies to alleviate environmental pollution.

Published: June 2022

Giritengah Village is one of the villages with tourism potential, strategically located in the Menoreh hills, best known for the landmass movement on Java Island. This study aimed to identify the biophysical conditions of the land that could trigger landslides in the Menoreh Hills, especially in Giritengah Village. This research was carried out in two stages divided into identifying the occurrence of landslides and identifying the land conditions. There were 33 landslides in 28 locations, with 3 locations of repeated landslides two times and 1 location of repeated landslides three times in the 2015-2021 period. Landslides In Giritengah Village are classified as shallow slides and deep slides, also a flat slip plane or translational landslide. The trend of landslides experienced a sharp increase in 2018 as many as nine events. A decrease that influenced this trend was community activity in maintaining irrigation channels. Based on the overall biophysical conditions observed and analyzed in this study, there are two patterns of landslide drift in Giritengah Village. The first pattern was a landslide at very steep slope conditions, little vegetation with low density, and not too thick soil solum. The second pattern was a landslide at steep slope conditions, thick soil solum to very thick, and lots of vegetation with medium density. These two patterns create a stronger driving force than the restraining force, making Giritengah Village a landslide-prone area.

Ülkemizde et ve et ürünleri katma değerli gıdalar içerisinde yer almaktadır. Bundan dolayı et işleme ve ürüne dönüştürme süreçleri maliyetlidir. Bazı işletmeler tarafından değeri yüksek gıda ürünleri içerisine daha ucuz ikame maddeleri katkılanarak daha fazla kâr elde etme ve ürün maliyetini düşürmek amacıyla taklit-tağşiş vb çeşitli hilelere başvurulmaktadır. Domuz eti veya kanatlı etlerinin sığır etine göre daha ucuz olması sebebiyle genellikle kırmızı etten yapılan ürünlerin içerisine karıştırılarak yasa dışı üretim gerçekleştirilmektedir. Müslüman ve Yahudi tüketicilerin dini inançları gereği domuz eti ve türevlerine karşı diyet kısıtlamaları vardır. Buna ek olarak et ürünlerinde yapılan taklit ve tağşişler bazı alerjik hastalıkları olan tüketicilerin sağlığını da olumsuz etkileyebilmektedir. Ancak, et endüstrisindeki gıda tahrifatının son yıllarda dünya genelinde daha da artış gösterdiği bildirilmektedir. Et ürünlerinde tür belirleme yöntemleri ve taklit-tağşiş gibi hileleri tespit etme metotları da uzmanlık ve teknik donanım gerektirmektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında et ve et ürünlerinde kimlik doğrulaması ve taklit-tağşiş unsurlarının belirlenmesinde kullanılan kromatografik yöntemler ele alınmıştır.

Deep eutectic solvent (DES) is used as a green solvent in science due to its benefits over ionic liquids, such as biocompatibility and biodegradability, chemical stability with water, ease of preparation, and non-toxicity.DES 1 was successfully synthesized in a 1:2 molar ratio of Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and polyethylene glycol 400 (PEG 400), while the novel DES 2 and DES 3 were synthesized in a 1:6 molar ratio of TBAB/ dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and TBAB/N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) respectively. The performance(s) of the three DESs in the enhancement of heavy Nigerian crude oil recovery at ambient temperature was investigated. DES 1 recovered additional 16.07 % oil from core flooding using Berea sandstone core sample, resulting in an overall recovery of 53.44 %. DES 1 also resulted in an incremental recovery of 35.94 % from Niger-Delta sandstone, with a high ultimate recovery of 85.94 %. The presence of DES 2 and DES 3 were also shown to result in additional oil recovery. A drastic IFT reduction from 5.19 to 2.46mN/m was observed between the oil and the DES2 phase. Thus the study confirms that the presence of TBAB-based DES promotes reduction in the viscosity of the heavy oil and results in more oil recovery.

Electric power theft is a serious concern in the world irrespective of being major revenue losses and developing a nation. More than one-third part of the electricity generated power is lost due to electric theft, power loss, and inefficiencies in the distribution system. Interdicted or illegal utilization of electricity has not only affected economically but also obstructs the design and modeling phases of the power system. Due to electric theft, providing wrong data input values for power system analysis and difficult to load forecasting. In this paper, an inventive Simulink model is designed to detect and monitoring of electric power theft in power system distribution networks through Power Line Communication (PLC). Electric power theft was detected with variance amendment in the amplitude of carrier signal with a narrow band. PLC technique is utilized for data communication over the power line. A narrow band power line carrier signal which has high frequency transferred in power line alongside with power frequency signal. The deviation in the amplitude of the transmitted carrier signal is monitored at the regular time- intervals and the stealing of electricity can be distinguished by the computing of distinction change within the amplitude of the carrier signal. In a normal case, the signal present fixes pattern and waveform, but in the case of power theft, the signal shows some variation and disturbance in a within waveform pattern. A pattern recognition and monitoring approach is used for direct power theft in the PLC model. The Simulink model is performed on MATLAB software to analyze the performance and efficient results that satisfy the proposed Simulink model.

Published: June 2022

Corporate reporting has been considered a formal and widespread source of information within organizations. According to standards and accounting rules, financial accounting provides a representation of the financial situation of companies. This representation is communicated through financial statements at the end of each accounting period and under the legal requirements and tax regulations. Thus, corporate reporting has been limited to preparing financial statements for legal purposes and producing historical accounting and financial information. This study is a meta-analysis of prior literature to understand the concept of corporate reporting and identify the key domains that are still not explored by the researchers.

El objetivo de este libro colectivo es reunir trabajos de investigaciones realizadas en distintas regiones y países que permitan reflexionar en torno a los procesos de desarrollo territorial en diversas escalas. Se busca comprender, a través de diferentes herramientas teóricas y metodológicas, la acelerada y dinámica transformación de las realidades locales derivadas de los procesos económicos actuales, que inciden en las formas en que se organiza e interactúa la multiplicidad de actores en el territorio. La perspectiva territorial permite redimensionar las lógicas de decisión, acción e intervención de los actores que pueden llegar a interferir con las dimensiones de lo local, dando especificidad y tipicidad al territorio. De esta forma se busca centrar la atención en torno a la valoración que se realiza de los territorios y sus potencialidades para activar el desarrollo mediante múltiples combinaciones de intereses y recursos. Nuestra propuesta es incidir en esa discusión reuniendo diversos estudios empíricos a partir de los cuales debatir en torno a la heterogeneidad de las formas de aproximarse a la complejidad de las dimensiones, procesos y escalas que comprende lo territorial.

Published: June 2022

Nowadays, the global trend of reducing exhaust emissions and the increasing the demand for clean energy sources have initiated the development of electric vehicles by many vehicle manufacturers. We are starting to encounter electric vehicles, whose mass production is relatively new, on the roads more and more every day. Fire response methods, which are one of the most common emergencies encountered in electric vehicles, which are widely used, differently in the extinguishing agent and extinguishing methods of fires compared to gasoline or diesel engine vehicles. In this study, the causes of the thermal leak formation mechanism in batteries, which are the most basic place of fires encountered in electric vehicles, will be examined, and information on the methods of intervention to the fire that may occur will be examined. By means of the results obtained from here, the possibilities of application in electric and semi-electric (hybrid) vehicles will be discussed.

Authors: SEVGİLİ Coşkan , TÖZ Ali
Published: June 2022

Port state control (PSC) inspections are one of the best ways of improving safety at sea. Therefore, it is vital to determine the parameters that cause deficiencies in the prevention of ship accidents. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the PSC inspection results of Turkish flagged ships using the data mining model. Considering a total of 209 PSC inspection reports resulting in the detention of Turkish flagged ships between 2014 and 2019, the Apriori Algorithm was applied using SPSS Modeler 18.0 software to determine the association rules of deficiencies detected. The study found that the safety of navigation, living/working conditions, and emergency systems are the main factors creating association rules in deficiencies. However, when the deficiencies causing detention were analyzed, the most frequently associated variables were safety of navigation, certificate/documentation, and emergency systems. The results of the study are supposed to be useful for the flag state control mechanism to improve the port state control performance of Turkish flagged ships. We recommend that further research collect more data on the PSC inspection of ships flying other flags to update the proposed models and improve their analysis performance.

“The Land Doesn’t Stretch”
Authors: Rivers Daniel Lanza
Published: June 2022

This essay analyzes representations of agriculture, drought, and fecundity in John Steinbeck’s novel To a God Unknown in order to better understand the ways that this novel draws on, revises, and critiques regional histories of agro-industrial development in California. In particular, it explores parallels between the Wayne ranch's boom-and-bust narrative and its historical antecedents, particularly the rise and fall of California’s rancho economy in the mid-nineteenth century. Along the way, this article also examines the ways that Steinbeck’s representations of fecundity and drought reflect enduring entanglements between the cultural vocabulary of the U.S. family farm and settler colonial visions of claiming and developing fecund and malleable California landscapes. This article concludes with a reflection on To a God Unknown’s enduring relevance to contemporary discussions of water management, drought, and agriculture in the Anthropocene (the contemporary epoch of human-induced climate change), when California’s drought seasons are on track to become more regular and intense.
Steinbeck’s Self-Revelations in East of Eden
Authors: Potts Sister Mary Esther
Published: June 2022

Though many scholars have discussed the theme of dysfunctional family relationships in East of Eden, a fuller treatment of the autobiographical elements and intentions in the novel is still needed. A comparison of biographical documents with character developments in Steinbeck’s “big book” demonstrates correspondence between the relationships and emotional difficulties of both its fictional and nonfictional characters and those experienced by the author and his sons. Steinbeck’s maternal heritage unfolds in the nonfictional Hamilton narratives, while his paternal heritage unfolds in the fictional Trask narratives, rendering the novel quasi-autobiographical.
Beyond Melodrama
Authors: Johnson Carter Davis
Published: June 2022

East of Eden is often criticized as overly symbolic and melodramatic. However, such characterizations overlook Steinbeck’s latent innovations in characterization. Rather than developing stiff allegorical figures, Steinbeck makes creative use of Carl Jung’s theory of archetypes, forming personalities that manifest psychological potentialities and transformations. In this essay, I trace the manifestations of Jungian theory across several characters in East of Eden, contrasting Steinbeck’s use of Jungian archetypes with traditional literary archetypes. Additionally, I outline how this artistic feature also displays Steinbeck’s opposition to the exclusivity of Freudian theory. If the characters and plot are viewed in the entirety of their complex Jungian influences and careful criticism of Freud, the novel is reinvigorated with creative energy that surpasses melodrama.
Laborers Lost in The Grapes of Wrath
Authors: Nez Thomas J.
Published: June 2022

Readers might consider redirecting their attention from the text’s critique of exploitation to focus more carefully on Steinbeck’s disclosure of labor’s increasing redundancy under conditions of industrialized production. For the novel situates unemployment as a result of capitalist accumulation. Through their historical exploration of the Great Depression’s impact on agricultural industry in the United States, Steinbeck’s interchapters specifically position a diminishing demand for labor as an entailment of capital’s accelerated investment in machinery.
Algerian Immigrants
Authors: Ali Chaker Mohamed Ben
Published: June 2022

Drawing upon the writings of Mimi Reisel Gladstein that explore the relationships between Steinbeck studies and immigration, this article illuminates the connections between The Grapes of Wrath (1939) and the experiences of Algerian harragas, who may be considered “contemporary Joads.” Like the Joads, the harragas, or “burners,” burn their identity documents as well as burning the gasoline needed to undertake their perilous voyages. In spite of their treacherous journeys, both the Joads and many Algerian immigrants persist until they arrive at their respective destinations, exemplifying both Steinbeck’s “phalanx” and the Algerian concept of “Twiza.” In the end, the Joads and these immigrants, subjected to slurs and a discouraging economic outlook, find their hopes for a better life dashed. These parallels illustrate the universality of The Grapes of Wrath and Steinbeck’s sure understanding of conflicts between insiders and outsiders, the haves and the have-nots, the smugly comfortable and the suffering who seek better lives for themselves and their families.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is considered main dangerous feature for the expansion of cardiac metabolic and coronary disorders. Chronic Heart failure along conserved ejection fraction (EF %) were distinguished by the dysfunction of left ventricle diastolic phase (LVDD). Aim: Aim of subjects with elevated serum cortisol or hydrocortisone level establish with Cushing’s syndrome has to be related with the progression of the LVDD. Methodology: We select 42 patients Diagnosed with (DM) and 40 subjects with no DM. Which was underwent echocardiography assessment at multiple hospitals of Lahore within two years of duration. The functions of left ventricle were estimate and the percentage of before time diastolic rate from inflow to trans-mitral before time diastolic rate be considered while guide for diastolic purpose. Concentration of serum cortisol in Plasma, glucose levels, serum fasting cholesterol and triglyceride levels, along by means of anti glycemic medications plus additional scientific distinctiveness was estimated, as well as along its relationship among E/A was resolute by means of only one variable and multiple variable analysis. Results: Multiple variable linear regression study illustrate that log of E/A were confidently associated by age factor (P=0.018), blood pressure systolic phase (P=0.003) and hydrocortisone (P=0.037), in subjects of diabetes mellitus. Multiple variable analysis illustrate that hydrocortisone were completely associated by means of age (P=0.016) and glycated hemoglobin (P=0.011). Therefore no relationship found among E/A and serum hydrocortisone levels in control subjects. Conclusion: Raised levels of hydrocortisone concentration might elevate the possibility of rising in subjects of diabetes mellitus. Keywords: Diabetes mellitus, left ventricle diastolic function, serum hydrocortis

Deistlerin Vahiy Karşıtlığı-Muhammed Abduh’un Vahiy/Nübüvvet Anlayışı ve Modern Kelamî Yaklaşımlar Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: MENEKŞE Aslı , TÜRCAN Galip
Published: June 2022

Modern çağda, problemler ilahî yardımdan ziyade akıl yürütme gibi insan becerilerinin yardımıyla çözümlenmektedir. Bu bağlamda ilahî vahyi reddetmek ve ancak akılla kavranabilecek bir varlığı kabul etmek üzerine kurulu olan deizm, pek çok insana makul görünmeye başlamıştır. Aynı zamanda, herhangi bir rasyonel temelden yoksun olduğu varsayılan dinî inanç ve pratiklere atıfta bulunurken hurafe kelimesini kullanmak popüler hale gelmiştir. Tanrı’nın varlığı ve kudretinin kabul edildiği deizmde insan, dinî yükümlülükler yani ibadetler ile sorumlu tutulmamaktadır. Deistik iddialara karşı vahyin gerçekliğini ve gerekliliğini, toplumsal ihtiyaç, medeniyetin kurucu unsurları, insanları doğru düşünceye yönlendirebilecek rehberler yani peygamberler üzerinden ispat etmek gerekmektedir. Bu açıdan modernist Müslüman düşünür Muhammed Abduh’un (1849-1905) yenilikçi görüşlerini ve vahiy/nübüvvet savunusunu modern dünyanın kavramları ve anlayışını dikkate alarak izah etme girişimi oldukça önemlidir. Deizm modern çağın popüler inanç yapısı olduğuna göre ona karşı İslamî vahyi savunma yönteminin de modern bakış açısına uygun olması gerekmektedir. Bu bağlamda modern dinî problemlere çözüm arayışında Abduh’un görüşleri vahyin ispatını güncelleme bakımından yol gösterici niteliktedir.
