The Structure That Structures Us
Authors: Dawson Jaap
Published: May 2023

Christopher Alexander explored the world of built structures. He longed for buildings and spaces that touched and triggered our own psychological and spiritual structure. From his examples of spaces we experience as alive he distilled his Fifteen Properties: aspects and qualities in buildings that quicken us. As architects, we want to learn how we can create structures that embody the Fifteen Properties. Can we do so through consciously attempting to design them? In my experience of designing, we need more than a conscious attempt. We need an awareness of the goal of our designing. And Alexander himself gives us a glimpse of that goal in The Linz Café: Our goal is nothing short of designing as an offering to God. What might an offering to God mean? What might it mean as an attitude free from ideology or embalmed belief? The discoveries C. G. Jung made can help us get in touch with such a goal. Our goal is our own divine centre. Our challenge as architects is to open ourselves to the images and structures that appear on our paper or screens as we design. What is their source? Can we see ourselves in them? Can we meet our divine centre in them?

Disorders in the blood coagulation system play an important role in the pathogenesis and clinical manifestations of COVID-19 both during the acute phase of the disease and in the post-infectious period. The coronavirus disease is associated with a high risk of thrombotic and thromboembolic complications due to a prolonged state of hypercoagulation, which can occur even after recovery. Despite the extremely large amount of scientific data, the pathophysiological aspects of SARS-CoV-2 infection remain uncertain. The presented review summarizes the results of modern scientific research on pathological changes in the hemostasis system that can occur against the background of the transferred coronavirus disease, and considers the main mechanisms of the development of COVID-19-associated coagulopathies. From scientometric databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of science, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, etc. the latest publications devoted to this issue were selected and analyzed. Hemostasis is a dynamic, tightly regulated process which is provided by three closely interrelated links: coagulation, anticoagulation, and fibrinolytic. Activation of the coagulation cascade and the platelet link of hemostasis, which causes a prothrombotic state in convalescent patients with COVID-19, is primarily associated with dysregulation of the renin-angiotensin system, a long-term local and systemic inflammatory reaction, an increase in the immune response due to the release of pro-inflammatory mediators that interact with platelets, stimulate the expression of tissue factor, suppress the fibrinolytic system and lead to dysfunction of the endothelial cells of blood vessels, triggering thrombogenesis. Understanding the pathogenetic mechanisms of post-COVID-19 complications and monitoring the main markers of hemostasis (level of D-dimer, fibrinogen, prothrombin time, platelet count, etc.) are important for the timely detection of disorders in the blood coagulation system, and make it possible, depending on the clinical situation, to take timely measures for their correction at various stages of pathology development.

Published: May 2023

Bu çalışmada, Ağrı Kapalı Ceza İnfaz Kurumunda bulunan hükümlü ve tutukluların yazma motivasyonlarını etkileyen faktörler incelenmiştir. Araştırma, sınırlandırılmış alanlar olarak ceza infaz kurumundaki mahkûmlar için önemli bir iletişim aracı olan yazma motivasyonu üzerindeki etkili faktörleri tespit etmeyi ve mahkûmların motivasyon profillerini karakterize etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Mahkûmların yazma motivasyonu karakterize edilirken Wigfield ve Guthrie (1997) tarafından geliştirilen “Okuma Motivasyonu Ölçeğinin” Durmuş (2014) Türkçe uyarlanmış hâlinden faydalanılmıştır. Bir açımlayıcı faktör analizi çalışması olan araştırmada yazma motivasyonu üzerinde etkili olan değer, haz ve benlik algısı arasındaki puanlar benzer olmasına rağmen, yazmanın değer boyutu diğer iki motivasyon profiline göre pozitif yönde farklılaştığı tespit edilmiştir. Mahkûmlara, özerk ortamlarda yazma fırsatı verildiğinde metinsellik açısından daha yetkin eserler ortaya çıkarmaları sağlanabilir.

Çeşitli alanlarda mal ve hizmet üreten BIST şirketleri ülke ekonomisine yön vermektedirler. Bu çalışmanın amacı BIST şirketlerinin toplam piyasa değerlerinin GSYİH üzerinde etkisini belirlemektir. Çalışmanın veri seti 1999-2022 dönemine ait (24 dönem) yıllık verilerden oluşmaktadır. BIST şirketlerinin toplam piyasa değerlerinin GSYİH üzerinde etkisini belirlemede simetrik ve asimetrik ilişkileri tespit edebilen NARDL (Nonlinear Autoregressive Distributed Lag) modeli kullanılmıştır. Kurulan modelde bağımlı değişken olarak Gayri Safi Yurt İçi Hasıla (GSYİH) ve bağımsız değişken olarak BIST şirketlerinin toplam piyasa değeri (TPD) yer almaktadır. NARDL analiz sonuçlarına göre modelde uzun dönemde bir simetri ilişkinin, kısa dönemde de bir asimetrik ilişki bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Toda-Yamamoto Granger nedensellik testi sonuçları doğrultusunda yapılan Wald testlerine göre, TPD’ den GSYİH’ ye doğru %1 anlamlılık düzeyinde granger nedensellik olduğu, GSYİH’den TPD’ ye doğru Granger nedensellik olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. TPD’ den GSYİH’ ye doğru %1 anlamlılık düzeyinde Granger nedensellik arz öncüllü hipotezi destekleyici kanıtlar sunmaktadır.
KISA FİLM, FESTİVALLER VE SEKTÖREL YANSIMALARI; YÖNETMENLERİN GÖZÜNDEN İRDELEYİCİ BAKIŞ
Authors: SAYICI Fırat
Published: May 2023

Kısa film 30 dakikayı aşmayan, hikâyesini kısa zamanda tutarlı bir şekilde seyirciye aktaran, sinema sanatının kendine has alanlarından biridir. Kısa filmin kurmaca, canlandırma, deneysel ve belgesel türleri mevcuttur. Kısa film festivalleri ve yarışmalarında karşılaşılan genel sorunlar arasında kısa filmi ve kısa filmcileri ikinci plana atmak ve onlara yeteri kadar alan açmamak gibi meseleler gelmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra sektör bileşenlerinin kısa filmin tanımı ve kendine yeterliği konusunda kafa karışıklığını gidermesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada kısa film üreten yönetmenlerin görüşleri baz alınarak bu tarz sorunlar masaya yatırılıp tartışılırken bir yandan da kısa filmin ve kısa film festivallerinin sektöre olumlu yansımaları da ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmanın literatüre katkısında başarılı kısa film yönetmenlerinin öznel bakış açılarının değerlendirilmesinin etkili olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada son yıllarda çeşitli yerli ve yabancı festivallerde başarı kazanmış kısa film yönetmenlerinin verdikleri röportajlar üzerinden bir literatür çalışması yapılmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak yönetmenlerin görüşlerine daha önce yapılmış röportajlardan yararlanılarak ulaşılmıştır. Toplanan veriler ise betimsel analiz kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Kısa filmlerin amatör sinemacılara alan açtığı, kazanılan ödüllerin yeni üretimlere imkân sağladığı, festivallerin sektörel ve profesyonel anlamda bir buluşma noktası oluşturduğu, kısa film üreticilerinin festivaller sayesinde tescillendiği gibi olumlu durumların yanı sıra festivallerin sürekliliğinin sağlanması, ulusal ve yerel desteklerin arttırılması, festivallerin telif ödemesi, sadece kısa filme yönelik kurumların oluşturulması, kısa filmlerin gösteriminin yapılacağı salonlarda izleme koşullarının kalitesinin arttırılması gibi öneriler de çalışmada yer almıştır. Bu çalışma sayesinde kısa filmin sektörel durumu, festivallerin kısa filme bakış açısı ilk defa kısa filmcilerin gözüyle ortaya konulmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışma kısa film üzerine yapılacak yeni araştırmalara temel oluşturacaktır.

Authors: Demir Selçuk
Published: May 2023

Bu çalışmada; öğretmenlerin özerklik davranışları ile okulda kalma tutumları arasındaki ilişkinin açığa çıkarılması amaçlanmaktadır. Araştırma, korelasyonel model ile biçimlendirilmiştir. Çalışmanın evreni, Diyarbakır ilindeki ilkokullarda görev yapmakta olan öğretmenlerden oluşturulmuştur. Yansızlık kuralına göre kararlaştırılan bu evrenden 18 ilkokul seçilmiştir. Bu ilkokullarda çalışan 191 öğretmen, çalışmanın örneklemini meydana getirmiştir. Çalışmada, seçkisiz örnekleme yöntemlerinden oransız küme örnekleme yöntemine başvurulmuştur. Araştırmada, “Öğretmen Özerkliği Ölçeği” ve “Okulda Kalma Tutumu Ölçeği” ile verilere ulaşılmıştır. Korelasyon sonuçları; öğretmen özerkliği ile okulda kalma tutumunun orta düzeyde, pozitif ve anlamlı ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Kısmi regresyon analiziyle öğretmen özerklik davranışlarının, okulda kalma tutumunu anlamlı yordadığı belirlenmiştir. Çoklu regresyon analizi sonucunda; öğretmen özerkliğinin öğretim programı ve mesleki iletişim özerkliklerinin okulda kalma tutumunun anlamlı yordayıcıları olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretme süreci özerkliği ile mesleki gelişim özerkliği boyutlarının ise okulda kalma tutumunun anlamlı yordayıcıları olmadığı bulunmuştur. Okul yöneticilerinin; öğretmenlerin okul değiştirme eğilimlerini azaltmak için kurumlarında öğretmenlerin mesleki özerklik davranışlarını destekleyici bir iklim oluşturması faydalı görülmektedir.

Published: May 2023

BACKGROUND: Gestosis (preeclampsia) is an important problem of modern obstetrics. Despite the improvement of methods of prevention and treatment, there is an increase in the rate of this pregnancy complication. In this regard, the search for new approaches to the treatment of preeclampsia is an important problem of modern perinatology.
AIM: The aim of this study is studying of the effect of taurine on experimental gestosis in rats.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Preeclampsia was induced on female rats by sodium nitrite and lipopolysaccharide. 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid was administered at a dose of 44.3 mg / kg (in terms of taurine) from the 16th to the 19th day of pregnancy. The number of implantation sites, resorption sites, live fetuses, weight of placentas and fetuses, lactate dehydrogenase activity, content of lactic and pyruvic acids, nitric oxide, malondialdehyde and creatine were evaluated.
RESULTS: It has been shown that 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid leads to normalization of the metabolic processes (the level of malondialdehyde, nitric oxide, lactate and lactate dehydrogenase activity) in the body of pregnant female rats with induced preeclampsia in the last trimester of pregnancy. Taurine reduced the quantity of resorption, increased the weight of placentas and fetuses. Along with a correction of the lactate level, pyruvate and lactate dehydrogenase activity, it was observed a decrease of creatine level in placentas.
CONCLUSIONS: Obtained results allows us to recommend taurine, which has antioxidant, antihypoxic, membrane stabilizing, detoxifying, osmoregulating and diuretic effects, for the treatment of placental disorders with preeclampsia.

Published: May 2023

Marshall taksonomisinin kentlerin morfolojik yapılarının belirlemesi noktasında geliştirdiği bu topolojik yöntem, matematik ve geometrik parametrelere dayanarak oldukça ampirik ve reel sonuçlar sağlamaktadır. Ayrıca bu yöntem sayesinde bir mekanın tipolojisini belirlemek ve dokuların topolojik benzerliklerini belirlemek, mekanlar arasındaki benzerlikleri ve farklılıkları ortaya koymak mümkündür. Çalışmada Elazığ şehrinin ilk kurulan mahallelerinden olan Mustafapaşa, İcadiye, Çarşı, Akpınar, Sarayatik ve Rüstempaşa altı mahalle örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Seçilen bu mahallelerin öncelikle doku özellikleri analiz edilmiş daha sonra ise Marshall’ın X-T taksonomisi kullanılarak bu alanların doku tipolojileri belirlenmiştir. Örneklem seçilen mahallelerin doku analizleri yerleşim alanındaki ada ve parsellerin yerleşim yerinde oluşturdukları kentsel lekelerden yola çıkılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Daha sonra bu mahallelerin X ve T kesişmeleri, çıkmaz sokakları ve yapı adalarının durumları tespit edilerek hesaplamalar yapılmış ve örneklem mahallelerinin dokuları topoloji diyagramı üzerindeki konumları belirlenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda örneklem seçilen mahallelerden Çarşı ve Mustafapaşa mahalleleri organik doku tipolojisi sergilerken, İcadiye, Akpınar, Sarayatik ve Rüstempaşa mahalleleri ise melez ızgara tipi dokuya sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Yine örneklem seçilen mahallerin tümünün topolojik olarak “T hücre” statüsünde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Fakat yine de tam anlamıyla T hücre yapısına birebir uygun bir yerleşme yoktur. Çünkü yapı adası oranlarındaki düşüklük ve çıkmaz sokakların varlığı tam manasıyla “T hücre” yapısının oluşmasına müsaade etmemiştir.

Published: May 2023

Objective: Vehicle safety plays a key role in reducing the number of road traffic deaths and serious injuries. This study aims to investigate the effect of vehicle safety on the severity of traffic crashes in Iran using structural equation modeling (SEM).
Methods: This was a comparative cross-sectional study of all imported vehicles with Aras free trade zone license plate as well as all domestic vehicles (cars produced in Iran) commuting on Tabriz-Jolfa road. The study population included drivers who had accidents on Tabriz-Jolfa road over a period of one year from September 22, 2020 to September 21, 2021 and were injured or  their vehicles had been damaged (n=652). Data was collected using set of questionnaires with 10 sections. The effect of independent variables, as exogenous latent variables (human, vehicle, and environmental factors), on a dependent variable, as an endogenous latent variable (crash severity) was measured using SEM. All data were analyzed using Mplus 8.0 software.
Results: In the structure part of the model with foreign vehicles group, the effect sizes of three exogenous variables, i.e., human, environmental, and vehicle factors, on the dependent variables were found to be 0.412, 0.396 and 0.358, respectively. The effect sizes in the model with domestic vehicles were found to be 0.312, 0.702 and 0.820, respectively.  
Conclusion: Vehicle factors (variables related to car safety) had a high impact on crash severity in the national license plate and domestically manufactured vehicle group, indicating the necessity of improving vehicle safety.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease can affect all aspects of a person's life. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the relationship between stress, anxiety and depression with the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis. MS was performed.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in 2018-2019 on 245 patients with multiple sclerosis in Shahrekord city. Non-random sampling method was used and data collection tool was Depression, Anxiety and Stress Questionnaire (DASS-21) and Quality of Life Questionnaire in Multiple Sclerosis Patients (MISIS-29). The data were analyzed through spss 20 software.
Results: In the present study, only 26/6% of patients experienced high quality of life, and 30/5% of patients had severe to moderate anxiety, 13/8% moderate stress, and 34/2% moderate and severe depression. There was a significant relationship between the stress and anxiety of the patients and their jobs (p<0/05) and also there was a significant difference between the quality of life and the education of the patients (p<0/05). A significant relationship was observed between the state of stress, depression and anxiety of the patients with the quality of life and with the physical and mental subscales (P<0/001).
Conclusion: The results indicated the prevalence of mental disorders in patients with MS, which has affected the quality of life of patients. Therefore, providing suitable interventions to deal with or adapt to these symptoms and ultimately improve the quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients seems necessary.

Published: May 2023

Introduction: The high prevalence of the Covid-19 disease and its rapid infection, the imposition of restrictions, and the high mortality had many negative effects on the psychological and social aspects of bereaved families. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of group counseling to deal with grief caused by Covid-19 regarding mournful women in Yazd.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest design and a control group. The statistical population consisted of women with grief experience over losing their husbands due to Covid-19 in 2021. Through available sampling method, 30 participants were selected and randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Data was collected through Grief Experience Questionnaire (GEQ) by Barrett and Scott (1998). Moreover, the package of confrontation with mourning, a lived experience of mourning women in Yazd (Kalantari et al., 2021), was performed on the experimental group for ten 90-minute sessions. Covariance with repeated measurements and SPSS version 26 software were used in data analysis.
Results: The research findings showed that the average score of grief experience in the experimental group was significantly lower than control group in posttest droup (p<0.001). Group training and intervention program could improve mourning experience in the experimental group compared to the control group in bereaved women.
Conclusion: Educational intervention based on lived experience of mourning women in Yazd can be used as one of the effective methods to improve mourning experience.
Transient Thermal Cooling of Electronics Systems using Functional Graded Fins: Hybrid Computational Analysis
Authors: Jemiseye Akinwale Emmanuel , Sobamowo Gbeminiyi Musibau , Mayowa Olayiwola Olatunji
Published: May 2023

Passive cooling of electronics systems requires the use of fins and spines. Improved heat transfer enhancements in the systems have been achieved through porosity, magnetic field,  functionally graded materials, etc. However, the space and time-dependent analysis of passive device with inherent nonlinearities and explorations of conditions at the tip have not been fully presented. Therefore, this work presents an application of hybrid computation analysis using combined methods of Laplace transformation and Legendre wavelet collocation to the space and time-dependent nonlinear thermal models of a longitudinal conductive-radiative functionally graded extended surface. The spatial-dependent thermal conductivity is considered for three different cases. The present analysis results demonstrated good agreement with numerical results. The significances of the model's pertinent parameters on the fin’s performance are thoroughly considered and scrutinized with the aid of graphical illustrations. The fin tip thermal response decreases with an increase in conductive-convective parameters, but it increases as time progresses. The in-homogeneity index is directly proportional to the FGM fin temperature. However, the convective term is inversely proportional to the fin’s thermal distribution. The fin temperature under quadratic-law heat conductivity of the passive device shows an enhanced performance of lower thermal distribution than the linear- and exponential-law heat conductivity.  Ultimately, the study provides a very useful in the design of the fin with FGM.
The Digital Border
Authors: Chouliaraki Lilie , Georgiou Myria
Published: May 2023

As the numbers of people fleeing war, poverty and environmental disaster reach unprecedented levels worldwide, states step up their border controls. In this, they rely on digital technologies, big data, artificial intelligence, social media platforms, and institutional journalism to manage not only the flow of people at crossing-points, but also the flow of stories of migration among their publics. What is the role of digital technologies is shaping migration today? How do digital infrastructures, platforms, and institutions control the flow of people at the border? And how do they control the narratives of migration as “crisis”? Finally, how do migrants use digital platforms to make themselves heard in the face of hardship and hostility? Taking their case studies from the biggest migration event of the twenty-first century in the west, the 2015 European migration “crisis” and its aftermath up to 2020, Chouliaraki and Georgiou develop a holistic theory of the digital border as an assemblage of technological infrastructures (from surveillance cameras to smartphones) and media imaginaries (stories, images, social media posts) to tell the story of migration as it unfolds in Europe’s outer islands as much as its most vibrant cities. This is a story of exclusion and violence but also care and solidarity. Through it, the border emerges neither as strictly digital nor as totally controlling. Rather, the border is both digital and pre-digital; datafied and embodied; automated and self-reflexive; and traversed by fragile social relationships that entail both the despair or inhumanity and the promise of a better future.

Określenia interakcji mogących zachodzić w układzie wodór–skała–woda złożowa dokonano na podstawie przeprowadzonych symulacji możliwości wytrącania lub rozpuszczania się składników w układzie za pomocą programu PHREEQC, analiz chromatograficznych fazy gazowej, analiz pierwiastkowych próbek rdzeni z wykorzystaniem metody fluorescencji rentgenowskiej (XRF), analiz mineralogicznych próbek rdzeni z wykorzystaniem metody dyfrakcji rentgenowskiej (XRD) oraz analiz fizykochemicznych wody złożowej przed testami i po ich zakończeniu (metoda chromatografii jonowej oraz spektrofotometryczna). Symulacja możliwości wytrącania lub rozpuszczania się osadów w układzie wodór–rdzeń A–woda złożowa wskazała na wysoki potencjał do rozpuszczania się anhydrytu i gipsu w badanej wodzie złożowej pod wpływem wzrostu stężenia wodoru w układzie. Poza tym w układach: wodór(16%)–rdzeń A–woda złożowa oraz wodór(100%)–rdzeń A–woda złożowa po zakończeniu testów kontaktowych stwierdzono obecność siarkowodoru w ilości odpowiednio 1,74 mg/dm3 oraz 5,98 mg/dm3. Przeprowadzone analizy elementarne oraz mineralogiczne rdzeni nie wykazały istotnych zmian w ich składzie w wyniku kontaktu z wodorem, natomiast analiza fizykochemiczna wody złożowej potwierdziła możliwość oddziaływania wodoru na materiał skalny oraz wodę złożową. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych testów kontaktowych stwierdzono, że wraz ze wzrostem stężenia wodoru w gazie wzrasta prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia interakcji pomiędzy wodorem, materiałem skalnym i wodą złożową.

W wielu zastosowaniach technicznych elastomery wykorzystywane są jako materiały uszczelniające lub przewody zasilające. Elementy te narażone są na działanie czynników agresywnych wpływających niszcząco na ich strukturę. Ze względu na swoją budowę elastomery ulegają niekorzystnym zmianom w miarę upływu czasu, wzrostu temperatury, oddziaływania światła ultrafioletowego, ozonu oraz różnych substancji organicznych. Jednym z wymagań stawianych środkom smarowym jest kompatybilność z materiałem elastomerowym. Obecnie rosną wymagania stawiane elastomerom. Jest to głównie związane z ochroną środowiska (eliminacja wszelkich wycieków) oraz z przedłużeniem okresu bezawaryjnego działania urządzeń. Warunki pracy uszczelnień są jednak coraz trudniejsze, zwłaszcza ze względu na wprowadzenie do stosowania olejów syntetycznych oraz podwyższenie temperatury pracy. Zmiany te powodują konieczność wprowadzenia rygorystycznych badań elastomerów, w tym badań ich kompatybilności z cieczami. Z elementów układów smarowania / węzłów tarcia najmniej trwałe są uszczelnienia. Elastomery, z których są one wykonane, w niesprzyjających warunkach w stosunkowo krótkim czasie mogą ulec zestarzeniu, zmieniając radykalnie swoje własności fizyczne. Zaczynają one wyraźnie pęcznieć, zmienia się ich twardość i wytrzymałość. Niebezpieczeństwo rozszczelnienia układu w przypadku braku kompatybilności środków smarowych z uszczelnieniami może generować znaczne straty finansowe. Z uwagi na to, że badania eksploatacyjne i stanowiskowe są długotrwałe i bardzo kosztowne, a do tego mało obiektywne, do badań kompatybilności stosuje się testy laboratoryjne. Wykorzystuje się próbki danego wyrobu elastomerowego i poddaje się je oddziaływaniu badanego środka smarowego przez określony czas w określonej temperaturze, stosując znormalizowane metody badawcze. W artykule opisano współoddziaływanie zachodzące pomiędzy elastomerami a smarami plastycznymi. Na podstawie przeglądu literaturowego oraz obserwacji poczynionych w trakcie badań określono dopuszczalne zmiany właściwości fizycznych i mechanicznych, które pozwalają ocenić odporność elastomerów na oddziaływanie smarów plastycznych.

Authors: Revathy K. , Shankar S. Ravi
Published: May 2023

Background: Both cadmium (Cd) and nickel (Ni) are recognised environmental toxins that may have devastating effects on plant life, particularly on their photosynthetic pigments. Heavy metal toxicity is one of several abiotic stressors that is especially relevant to investigate because of its impact on crop species growing in close proximity to heavy industrial sites, especially in less developed nations. Methods: The chlorophyll content in barnyard millet (Echinochloa frumentacea) was evaluated across five different Cd and Ni concentrations (50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mg/kg of soil) by pot experiment. We measured and compared the influence of Cd and Ni on the chlorophyll content of the leaves of E. frumentacea seedlings at 15, 30 and 45 days of intervals. Result: The results reveal that there was regularly a reduction attributable to Cd and Ni application in chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll content. Comparatively, the chlorophyll content was higher in Ni stress than Cd stress at all the concentrations ranging from 50 to 250 mg/kg of soil. Based on the results, it was concluded that the chlorophyll content declined progressively with increasing concentrations of Cd and Ni in all day intervals.

Background: Listeria monocytogenes is the only pathogenic bacterium of Listeria that causes disease to humans. The Dairy products, meat and other foods have been proved to be the transmission carriers of Listeria monocytogenes, endangering human health. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a fast, sensitive and specific fluorescent quantitative PCR method for detecting Listeria monocytogenes in milk based on internal reference. Methods: According to the genome sequence of Listeria monocytogenes published in Genbank, we screened specific target gene Hly gene, designed specific primers and probes, optimized the reaction system and added internal reference (IAC) to the system. This IAC was detected by TaqMan probes labeled with different fluorophore. 25-100 CFU/25 g artificially contaminated sample was added to evaluate the performance of reaction system. Result: The assay was could be used reliably for detection of Listeria monocytogeneswith a sensitivity of 10-3ng/uL. For the 10-fold dilutions bacteria DNA extracted by cooking water,the lowest detection limit was 4 x 102cfu/mL. But for the plasmid with hly, the lowest detection limit can reach 104 cfu/mL. The standard curve of hly and hly-IAC was established and the quantification was linear between Ct and template copy number (r2=0.999). While the initial sample amount of artificially contaminatedbacteria was 25 CFU/25 g (Fresh milk, milk powder, fermented milk), Listeria monocytogenes could be detected in 14 h. The Hly IAC fluorescent quantitative PCR detection method established in this study,and added internalreference tothe system, can accurately detect Listeria monocytogenesin fresh milk.At the same time, real-time monitoring of the PCR reaction process ensures the reliability of the results, which is suitable for rapid detection of large batches of samples.

Background: The model of sustainable agriculture mostly emphasizes on enhancing the efficacy of agrochemical usage by the implementation of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology, substitution of various inputs and practices with effective alternative technologies involving low energy utilization and plant/animal integration. Following the sustainable approach towards agriculture, a research has been conducted in the state of Rajasthan to identify the major factors that influence the adoption of IPM technology in Cotton. Cotton being the major crop of Sri Ganganagar and Hanumangarh districts for kharif season had an average area of 2.39 lakh hectares and average production of 7.44 lakh bales that constituted 51 per cent and 52 per cent of total area and production of Rajasthan, respectively during last five years ending 2016-17. Methods: On the basis of pest management strategy, farmers in the area were classified into three categories viz. farmers following conventional practice, farmers following IPM practice and farmers following both the practices, for the research. The purpose of the study was to identify the factors influencing adoption of IPM technology in the study area. A total of nine metric socio-economic variables of three groups of a total sample of 90 farmers from both the districts were taken for the study for the crop year 2017-18. The data were analyzed through suitable statistics: linear discriminant analysis and two-step cluster analysis. Result: It was found that ‘years of experience in current practice followed’, ‘number of workshops attended for current practice’, ‘years of education’, ‘years of experience in agriculture’ and ‘number of trainings attended for current practice’ are the major variables that discriminated among the three group of practices followed by the farmers of the study area. Among the selected significant discriminating factors, ‘higher education’, ‘higher number of workshops attended for current practice’ and ‘higher number of trainings attended for current practice’ were found to be the major influencing factors towards the adoption of IPM technology among the cotton growers in the study area. This study would facilitate the stakeholders involved in the dissemination of IPM technology as a measure for sustainable agriculture.

Background: Linseed, being a short duration crop, can be introduced in rice fallow system in order to derive more benefits. Timely and adequate amount of water to the crop in best possible way helps in optimizing agricultural production. At the same time, the need to meet increasing demand for food will require increased production per unit of water. However, the scope of linseed cultivation is very limited in Nagaland. The farmers of the region are not well-acquainted with linseed cultivation and information on varietal performance of linseeds in Nagaland condition is scanty. Methods: The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications and consisted of seven linseed varieties viz., JLS-95, RLC-153, LSL-93, T-397, Shekhar, Priyam and Parvati. Result: Among all the varieties, JLS-95 produced higher growth attributes viz., plant height (cm), number of leaves plant-1, number of branches plant-1, plant dry matter (g plant-1), crop growth rate (g m-2 day-1) and yield attributes viz., number of capsules plant-1, seed yield (kg ha-1) and stover yield as well was statistically superior in variety JLS-95 over the other varieties.

Basically, the new topic of the dominant local metric dimension which be symbolized by Ddim_l (H) is a combination of two concepts in graph theory, they were called the local metric dimension and dominating set. There are some terms in this topic that is dominant local resolving set and dominant local basis. An ordered subset W_l is said a dominant local resolving set of G if W_l is dominating set and also local resolving set of G. While dominant local basis is a dominant local resolving set with minimum cardinality. This study uses literature study method by observing the local metric dimension and dominating number before detecting the dominant local metric dimension of the graphs. After obtaining some new results, the purpose of this research is how the dominant local metric dimension of vertex amalgamation product graphs. Some special graphs that be used are star, friendship, complete graph and complete bipartite graph. Based on all observation results, it can be said that the dominant local metric dimension for any vertex amalgamation product graph depends on the dominant local metric dimension of the copied graphs and how the terminal vertex is constructed

COVID-19 entered Indonesia in March 2020 and included North Kalimantan Province, Tarakan. COVID-19 cases have outspread in Tarakan. The cause of the outspread and the patterns were not known yet. One relevant approach was to use Generalized Linear Models. The two methods are Poisson Regression and Stochastic with Spatial Poisson Process. The variables used were rainfall, population density, and temperature in each village in Tarakan. The Poisson Regression analysis founds that only one factor affected temperature. Then, the results were refined with the Spatial Poisson Process, where in addition to the influencing factors also, the distribution patterns are obtained. The analysis showed that the pattern of case distribution was included in the non-homogeneous Poisson process criteria. Then the model of the case density intensity was obtained using regression. From the model, it was known that the covariate variables significantly influence rainfall and temperature. Compared with general Poisson regression analysis, the results showed that only the average temperature variables had a significant effect. Thus, a better method was used, namely the Spatial Poisson Process. It was also shown by the two models' AIC values, where the AIC value of the Spatial Poisson Process model was smaller than the Poisson Regression.

A total k-labeling is a function fe from the edge set to the set {1, 2, . . . , ke} and a function fv from the vertex set to the set {0, 2, 4, . . . , 2kv}, where k = max{ke, 2kv}. A distance irregular reflexive k-labeling of the graph G is the total k-labeling, if for every two different vertices u and u 0 of G, w(u) 6= w(u 0 ), where w(u) = Σui∈N(u)fv(ui) + Σuv∈E(G)fe(uv). The minimum k for graph G which has a distance irregular reflexive k-labelling is called distance reflexive strength of the graph G, denoted by Dref (G). In this paper, we determine the exact value of distance reflexive strength of some connected graphs, namely path, star, and friendship graph.
