A medicinal plant known as Java ginseng (Talinum paniculatum Gaertn.) may thrive in a variety of water availability situations. The quantity of endophytic bacteria a plant contains affects its capacity to survive in stressful environments. The objective of this study was to identify and separate endophytic bacteria from Javanese ginseng roots that had undergone various water availability treatments. A description method was utilized, in which isolated isolates were given morphological descriptions, assessed for similarity indexes, and then categorized. Endophytic microbe abundance and diversity varied according to this study, but plants treated with water scarcity displayed higher abundance and diversity. While endophytes of plant origin treated with 60% field capacity (FC) had the maximum diversity, root samples treated with 80% (FC) had the highest microbial abundance. Ten species groupings were created from the 42 isolated isolates based on a coefficient value of > 70%.

The application of compost bedding system on sheep farm is a technology to minimize the negative impact of sheep manure waste toward environment. The microorganisms which inhabit the compost bedding, especially nitrifying bacteria are expected to have significant role in odor emission reduction which become environmental problem around the sheep farm. This study aims to analyze the abundance and diversity of nitrifying bacteria of compost bedding obtained from sheep farm which have important role in reducing odor emission of ammonia. The 12 days, 1 and 1,5 months old of compost bedding samples were obtained from sheepfold, while 3 and 4 months old of compost samples were obtained from compost pile. Furthermore, nitrifying bacteria were isolated from compost samples by pour plate method using specific media for Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. The results indicated that compost bedding samples with different composting time duration displayed different abundance and diversity of nitrifying bacteria. The current study was successfully isolated 39 and 47 nitrifying bacterial isolates using specific media for Nitrobacter and Nitrosomonas, respectively. The highest diversity of nitrifying bacteria was gained from 12 days old compost bedding sample. Nitrifying bacterial isolates from compost bedding samples have significant role in odor emission declining as well as manure composting at sheep farm. The obtained bacterial isolates are also potentially to develop as bio-activator for compost bedding.

The species problem in evolution education
Authors: Manikas Miltiadis , Leonardos Ioannis , Sotiropoulos Konstantinos , Plakitsi Katerina
Published: March 2023

An issue that might concern the species problem is the understanding and acceptance of evolution by students. The reason is that some of the modern concepts, which have been developed to define the species category, do not fit the evolutionary theory. In addition, some other concepts are simply criteria for the delimitation of species taxa. In particular, the biological and morphological species concepts, which are present in every textbook and are used almost exclusively in the teaching of evolution, can intensify students’ essentialist perceptions. However, these perceptions could be effectively dealt with the development of the species problem and the nature of species taxa in the classroom, and also the treatment of species as one more level of organization of biological systems during teaching process. This approach is employed in a lesson with a view to contributing to the structure of a fully developed conceptual framework by the students in order to understand the evolution.

Published: March 2023

Background: Viral infections of the central nervous system are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Aim: This study was designed to identify the viruses responsible for viral involvement of the CNS and to determine their frequency, circulation pattern, and seasonality. Methods: Detection, by multiplex PCR using FilmArray® Meningitis/Encephalitis panel, of viruses in the cerebrospinal fluid of all patients admitted for suspected viral infection of central nervous system and requiring hospitalization in the various departments of the Mohamed VI University Hospital of Marrakesh. Results: Viral infection was diagnosed in 74 of 984 patients (7.5%). The viruses responsible were identified as enterovirus in 22 cases (26.82%), Cytomegalovirus in 21 cases (25.6%), Herpes simplex virus-1 and Varicella-Zoster virus in 12 cases each (14.63%). Other agents were also reported with lower frequencies namely human herpes virus 6 and herpes simplex virus-2. Although the overall rate of CNS viral infection was significantly higher between the summer and spring seasons, the seasonality of the different viral pathogens was variable. Conclusion: The FilmArray® test can be an aid in the diagnosis of meningitis/meningoencephalitis, especially of viral etiology. Its rational use can improve the management of patients with potentially severe infections without additional cost.

Pectin is a polysaccharide with wider applications in foods, pharmaceuticals, and several of other industries. The extraction and determination of vitamins from pectin obtained from citrus fruit peels were studied. The pectin from citrus peels was extracted using ethanol. It was observed that pectin from orange peels gave the highest yield (28.31±2.85%) followed by red grape (14.72±1.83%), lime (12.10±0.97%), and the least in lime (10.15±0.61%).The level of vitamin A (mg/g) was high in pectin from red grape (1483.637±10.420) followed by orange peels (1156.301±8.840), lime peels (475.099±5.510), and the least in white grape (283.228±3.770). There was a significant difference (p≤0.05) in the level of vitamin A content in all the extracted pectin. The vitamin B2 (mg/g) content was highest in white grape (0.183±0.050) followed by orange (0.150±0.040), red grape (0.110±0.030), and the least value in lime (0.083±0.020) respectively. There was no significant difference (p≤0.05) in the level of vitamin B2 pectin samples. The vitamin B12 (mg/g) content was highest in white grape (3.300±1.130) followed by lime (2.931±1.100), orange (1.900±0.930), and the least value with Red grape (0.888±0.870). There was no significant difference in the level of vitamin B12 between pectin from lime and white grape. The increasing order of vitamin C (mg/g) content in the extracted pectins was as follows: white grape (11.706±1.150) <orange (16.940±2.100) < lime (17.404±2.130) <red grape pectin (17.678±2.150). There was no significant difference in vitamin C content of extracted pectin for lime, red grape, and orange peels. The level of vitamin E (mg/g) content was highest in orange (0.233±0.480) followed by white grape (0.179±0.710), lime (0.141±0.860), and the least red grape (0.080±0.630). The vitamin E content from pectin had no significant difference (p≤0.05) in lime and white grape peels. The vitamin K (mg/g) content was highest in orange peel (0.042±0.070) followed by lime (0.035±0.050), white grape peel (0.016±0.030), and the least red grape (0.006±0.010).

Published: March 2023

This work was carried out to evaluate the anti-gastric ulcer activity of the hydroalcoholic extract of Siphomeris lingun. Gastric ulcer was induced by two methods: 100 mg/kg/day of indomethacin administered orally for 5 days, and pylorus ligation. The study was done on rat, the S. lingun extract was administered orally at the doses 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg. The results of this study indicate that S. lingun reduces indomethacin induced mucosa lesion surface area. It is equal to 24.12 ± 0.21 mm2 in control group, versus 15.32 ± 0.12, 9.13 ± 0.25 and 5.22 ± 0.26 mm2 in animals treated with the extract at doses 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg (p<0.05), and 6.30 ± 0.12 mm2 in animals treated with misoprostol at the dose of 1.4 µg/kg. It also reduces gastric content acidity. The pH is equal to 2.64 ± 0.31 in the control group, versus 4.81 ± 0.25, 5.2 ± 0.31 and 5.9 ± 0.12 in the groups treated with the extract at doses 150, 300 and 600 mg/kg (p<0.05), and 6.34 ± 0.26 for the positive control group treated with cimetidine at the dose of 100 mg/kg. These results reveal the anti-gastric ulcer action of S. lingun extract, justifying its use in traditional medicine. Alkaloids and flavonoids in it might be responsible of this activity.

Background: Breadfruit is a staple leguminous food that is widely consumed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world and is an important source of dietary nutrients for adults, infants and children. Aim: This study is aimed at identifying the effect of feed fortification with processed breadfruit on the bodyweight and Lipid profile of Wistar rats. Methods: The Lipid profile was determined using standard diagnostic methods. Results: The results gotten from the research showed a continuous increase in bodyweight in all groups with exception of groups fortified with cooked breadfruit. The total cholesterol level of the experimental rats decreased in all the groups with a significant decrease (p< 0.05) recorded in the group fortified with 50% parboiled breadfruit. All groups except groups fortified with cooked breadfruit showed a significant increase (p< 0.05) in their High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) level when compared with the control group while the Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) level of the experimental rats recorded a significant decrease (p< 0.05) in the group fortified with 50% parboiled and grilled breadfruit. Also, a significant increase (p< 0.05) in Triglyceride (TRIG) and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) levels were only recorded in the group of rats fortified with 50% of grilled breadfruit. Conclusion: The result of this research however suggests no adverse effect of feed fortification with processed breadfruit on the lipid profile of the experimental animals but suggests that appropriate caution should be applied in the use of grilled breadfruit for feed fortification.
Robust-PID controller design for magnetic levitation system using parameter space approach

Published: March 2023

Recently, implementation of air magnetic suspension systems has become more challenging due to the growing demand for lightweight technologies, comfortable cabins, vehicle safety stability, and pollution control. Magnetic levitation, or Maglev, is the method of propelling a target into the air by adjusting different magnetic forces. The absence of contact and the avoidance of wear and friction phenomena are key considerations in the applications of magnetic levitation technology. Due to the high nonlinearity in the modelling process of such kind of systems, the stabilizing of magnetic levitation has been considered as a challenging task for many researchers in control engineering sector. The computation of all stabilizing PID gains controllers for the magnetic levitation benchmark ED-4810 (Maglev) is demonstrated in this paper using two different scenarios. In the first one, the tuning parameters of the classical PID controller (KP, KI, and KD) are assumed to be the uncertain parameters. The second scenario demonstrates the uncertainty in the transfer function of the system by using the resistance and the inductance as uncertain parameters. The characteristic polynomial of the linearized uncertain model is shown to be an unstable affine polynomial using the Zero Exclusion Theorem and the singular frequencies technique. The parameter space approach is used to illustrate the values of all PID parameters in order to achieve robust stability in the two scenarios. The effectiveness of the presented graphical technique has been verified through MATLAB simulation to obtain robust stability for magnetic levitation systems.

Published: March 2023

A total of 211 soil samples were collected in different crop fields from 10 districts. Out of 211 samples, 137 samples were diagnosed for different plant parasitic nematodes. The samples were collected from the fields of cruciferous and solanaceous crops. All together twelve different nematodes were identified. The identified genera are Meloidogyne, Helicotylenchus, Pratylenchus, Tylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Hoplolaimus, Belonolaimus, Criconemoides, Aphelenchoides, Hirschmanniella, Longidorus and Rotylenchulus. They found either single or more than one genus in a sample. It means they are existed in both single or combine with two or more genera in a same place or root zone. The population of some of the nematode genera was recorded above the threshold level and some were below the threshold to cause significant yield loss in the crops. In potato, the population of Helicotylenchus, Tylenchorhynchus, Pratylenchus and Tylenchus were recorded equal to or more than 2 nematodes per gram of soil. Similarly, in tomato, Helicotylenchus, Meloidogyne, Hoplolaimus, and Tylenchorhynchus were recorded above threshold level. Likewise, the distribution of nematodes population in the fields of cabbage, cauliflower, chilly, capsicum, board leaf mustard, carrot and radish also had above threshold level to reduce the crops yield. Hence, lower nematode population may not show any symptom caused by nematode alone and so the effects may easily be overlooked, but nematodes become a problem when the population level surpasses the damage threshold; at that point the damage due to the pathogen is measurable and also need to manage them.

Authors: Monday Komene Sapira  , Leesi Sapira-Ordu
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Urological problems are common in women, especially those undergoing surgeries, due to the proximity of the urinary tract and the reproductive tract. This study aims to present the complications of major gynecological surgeries in our institution. Materials and Methods: This study reviewed sixty-one case notes of patients who had gynecologic surgeries at Rivers State University Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt. The data were analyzed using SPSS, and the results were presented in tables and charts. Results: The mean age of the patients was 38.51 years. Forty-eight (78.7%) had myomectomy; 8.2% total had an abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (TAH+BSO); and 4.9% had ovarian cystectomy. Those with pelvic tumors were 78.7%, and tumors with hypertension were 14.8%. Eight patients (13.1%) had urinary tract infections, while 7 (11.5%) had abnormal abdominal ultrasound findings, and 3.3% had abnormal renal function with serum creatinine above 120 micromoles per liter. Urinary tract infections were the most common urological problem among the women. Risk factors for urological problems were pelvic tumors (mostly uterine fibroids), hypertension, previous pelvic surgeries, and uterovaginal prolapse. Seven patients had lower urinary tract symptoms. Frequency of micturition and dysuria were the most common urinary tract symptoms. Conclusion: The most common lesions were urinary tract infections. Findings made here differ from those of other studies in which findings were mostly of iatrogenic urological injuries. The most common risk factors were pelvic tumors which caused mechanical obstruction to the urine flow. Early detection and treatment of pelvic tumors and hypertension are advocated in this population.

Authors: HAMZAOĞLU Ergin
Published: March 2023

Some interesting Bupleurum (Apiaceae) specimens with very branched stems, (1–)2-rayed inflorescences and ivory-white bracteoles were collected from Tepebaşı District (Eskişehir Province). The specimes, at first glance, resembled the Bupleurum pendikum (sect. Aristata) species, which is endemic in Türkiye, as a habit. However, as a result of detailed examination, it was determined that there were some differences. Based on these differences, the specimens were presented to the scientific world as a new variety and were named Bupleurum pendikum var. eskisehiricum. The fact that the inflorescences are (1–)2 rays (not (2–)34(–5)); the bracteoles are 2.6–3.7 mm broad, ovate-elliptic and with arista up to 0.5 mm long (not 1.2–2 mm broad, lanceolate and with arista 11.5 mm long); the petals 0.6–0.8 mm broad (not 0.4–0.5 mm broad); the filaments 0.7–0.8 mm long (not c. 0.5 mm long) and the mericarps 2.7–3.1 × 1.1–1.3 mm (not 2.2–2.4 × 0.9–1 mm) are the most obvious attributes that separate Bupleurum pendikum var. eskisehiricum from B. pendikum (var. pendikum), that is a close taxon. Here, a detailed description of the new variety, informative photographs, and some ecological preferences were given.

Published: March 2023

Türk müziği ve dinî mûsikî icralarında etkin rol alan sazların başında hiç şüphesiz ney gelmektedir. Ney, başta Mevlevi ayinleri olmak üzere birçok dinî mûsikî formunda kullanılmasının yanı sıra la-dinî mûsikî formlarında da yoğun bir şekilde kullanılmaktadır. Bu sazın öğreniminin, tarihsel süreçte meşk adı verilen bir yöntem ile devam ettirildiği bilinmekte olup günümüzde nota kullanımının artması ile işleyişinde değişiklikler oluşmuştur. Bu işleyişteki değişikliklere rağmen meşk yöntemi, bu sazın en etkin öğrenim metodu olmaya devam etmektedir. Hoca-talebe ilişkisine dayanan meşkle ney tavrı öğretilmekte ve nesilden nesile aktarılmaktadır. Ney icra tavrılarını oluşturan öğeler; nota-icra farklılıkları, süslemeler ve artikülasyon öğelerindeki farklılıklardır. Bu araştırma ile amaçlanan; ney icrasında önemli bir yer tutan ve tavırlar arası uygulama farklılıkları gösteren vibrato kavramının tüm yönleri ile ele alınması ve açıklığa kavuşturulmasıdır.
Bu amaçla; ney icrası özelinde vibrato kavramının literatürdeki yeri incelenmiş ancak birkaç tanım ve bilgiden öteye gidilememiştir. Yazılı kaynaklardan elde edilen bilgilerde vibratonun yapılış şekillerinin tavırlar arasında farklılık gösterdiği belirlenmiş ve bu minvalde ülkemizdeki ney tavırlarının tespiti yapılmaya çalışılmıştır. Taranan kaynaklarda tekke tavrı ve Niyazi Sayın tavrı olmak üzere iki ney tavrından bahsedildiği görülmüştür. Yazılı kaynaklardan detaylı bilgiye ulaşılamadığından sözlü kaynaklara başvurma gerekliliği doğmuş ve her biri günümüzde önde gelen neyzen ve eğitmenlerden olan Doç. Dr. Süleyman Erguner, M. Sadreddin Özçimi ve Ahmed Şahin ile görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Yapılan görüşmelerden ve yazılı kaynaklardan edinilen bilgilere göre vibratonun tanımı, Türk müziğindeki ve ney icrasındaki yeri, tavırlar arasındaki uygulama farklılıkları, yapıldığı yere ve yapılış şekline göre vibrato çeşitleri açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Son olarak yanak vibratosuyla ilgili bilgilere yer verilmiş olup bu vibrato tekniğinin geliştirilmesine ve eğitim şekline dair egzersizlere yer verilmiştir.

Türkiye’de yaşayan bir etno-dini yapı olarak Ezidi topluluğunun doğaüstücülük çerçevesindeki sağlık hizmeti arayışları bu makalenin konusunu oluşturmaktadır. Sağlık sadece biyolojik bir denge hali değildir. Aynı zamanda kültürel ve de dini bir olgu olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tanımıyla da örtüşen bu yaklaşım bireylerin sağlık hizmeti arama davranışlarında birçok faktörün etkili olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Sağlık kavramının tanımlanmasında kişilerin mesleği, ekonomik durumu ve eğitimi etkili olduğu gibi dini inançları ve toplumsal kültürü de rol oynamaktadır. Sağlık hizmeti arayışında doğaüstücülük ve doğalcılık aynı anda varlık gösteren iki ayrı paradigma olarak göze çarpmaktadır. Çalışmada dışarıya kapalı bir topluluk olan Ezidilerin halk tıbbı içinde değerlendirilebilecek sağlık inançları konusunda ne tür pratikler ve uygulamalar bulunduğu incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla Ezidi topluluğunun farklı kastlarına mensup kişiler ve din adamlarıyla derinlemesine mülakatlar gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ezidilerde kasta mensup olan din adamları, kutsal objeler ve kutsal mekânlar sağlık arayışında öneme haiz olup sürecin işleyiş pratiklerinin ritüel özellikleri taşıdığı görülmektedir. Ezidilerin sağlık arayışı pratikleriyle ilgili bu çalışmada elde edilen bulgular ileride yapılacak çalışmalarda yol gösterici olabilecektir.

Ulaştırma altyapısı bir ülkenin gelişmişlik düzeyini gösteren en önemli faktörlerden biridir. Bu nedenle yaşam kalitesi endeksi yüksek olan şehirlerde ileri düzeyde toplu taşıma sistemleri bulunduğu gözlemlenmektedir. Günümüzde kentiçi nüfusun artışına paralel olarak insan hareketliliği fazlalaşmış ve toplu taşıma şehir yaşamının en önemli unsurlarından biri haline gelmiştir. Kentiçi toplu taşıma yatırımlarının yüksek maliyetli olması, karar vericilerin kısa vadede yeni yatırımlara odaklanmalarından ziyade ilave yatırım gerektirmeyen ve mevcut filoların daha etkin kullanılmasını sağlayacak performans artırıcı çalışmalara yönelmelerine neden olmuştur. Bu çalışmada Erzurum Büyükşehir Belediyesi Başkanlığına ait toplamda 29 otobüs hattından oluşan kentiçi toplu taşıma sistemi incelenerek mevcut sistemin verimliliğinin artırılmasına yönelik bir karışık tamsayılı programlama modeli geliştirilmiştir. Geliştirilen model ile haftaiçi ve haftasonu yolcu talepleri, otobüs tip ve kapasiteleri de gözönüne alınarak, hatlarda hizmet veren otobüs sayıları ile atıl kapasitenin minimizasyonu amaçlanmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda karar vericilerin geçmiş tecrübelerine ve taleplerine göre matematiksel modelde değişiklikler yapılarak alternatif senaryo ve çözümler üretilmiştir.

Published: March 2023

The prediction of the exchange rate time series has been quite challenging but is an essential process. This is as a result of the inherent noise and the volatile behavior in these series. Time series analysis models such as ARIMA have been used for this purpose. However, these models are limited due to the fact that they are not able to explain the non-linearity as well as the stochastic properties of foreign exchange rates. In order to perform a more accurate exchange rate prediction, deep-learning methods have been employed withremarkable rates of success. In this paper, we apply the Long-Short Term Memory Neural Network to predict the USD/TL exchange rate in Turkey. The result from this paper indicates that the Long-Short Term Memory Neural Network deep learning method gives higher prediction accuracy compared to the Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average and the Multilayer Perception Neural Network models.

The global competitive environment forces businesses to produce high-quality and low-cost products and they develop strategies in this regard. At the same, production risks should be identified and their effects on quality and cost should be minimized. The FMEA method is a risk analysis method that produces effective results. Traditional FMEA and Fuzzy FMEA analyses were conducted in the machining workshop of an enterprise with a wide range of products and semi-products in this study. Real-time data was obtained with the help of an embedded set of data processing cards, which use IoT technology. These data have been used to identify errors that cause production bottlenecks, and they were obtained without relying on the machine operator. Improvements were made in the riskiest subjects during the three-month analysis, and it was discovered in the cost records that a total reduction of 6% in production costs was achieved. Simultaneously, traditional FMEA and fuzzy FMEA results were compared.

İÇ DENETİM PERSPEKTİFİNDEN KURUMSAL KÜLTÜR DENETİMİ: UYGULAMA MODEL ÖNERİSİ
Authors: USUL Hayrettin , ÇAĞLAN Elif
Published: March 2023

İç denetim, bir kurumdaki iç kontrol, yönetişim ve risk yönetimi etkinliğini sistemli ve disiplinli bir yaklaşımla değerlendirerek kurumun faaliyetlerine değer katma ve kurumun hedeflerine ulaşmasına yardımcı olma gütmektedir. İç denetimde modern paradigma, uygunluk denetiminden ibaret olan ve mali konularla sınırlı kalan klasik iç denetim anlayışının aksine, proaktif bir yaklaşım sergileyerek kurumun amaçlarına ulaşmasını engelleyebilecek tüm unsurların denetim kapsamına alınmasını öngörmektedir. Geçtiğimiz yüzyılın sonlarından itibaren dünya çapında yaşanan şirket yolsuzlukları ve skandallar geleneksel iç denetim faaliyetlerinin etkinliğinin sorgulanmasına yol açmıştır. Kurumlarda istenmeyen davranışların kök nedenleri araştırıldığında, birçok vakada sorunun temel nedeninin sağlıksız bir kurumsal kültüre dayandığı görülmektedir. Kurumsal kültür kavramını iç denetim perspektifinden ele alan bu çalışmada, kurumsal kültür denetiminin iç denetim içerisindeki yerinin sorgulanması hedeflenmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında, kurumsal kültür denetimi için bir model önerisinde bulunulmuş ve bu modelin uygulanabilirliği ve geçerliliği analiz edilmiştir.Bu çalışma İzmir Kâtip Çelebi Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü 2021 tarihli "İç denetim perspektifinden kurumsal kültür denetimi: Çelik sektöründe bir uygulama" isimli Doktora tezinden üretilmiştir.
FACTORS AFFECTING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN EMERGING ECONOMIES: MIXED MODELS
Authors: NAİMOĞLU Mustafa , AKAL Mustafa , BEKTUR Çisem
Published: March 2023

This study aims to explain energy efficiency by social, political, institutional, and economic variables for emerging countries during the 1990-2018 period. The estimated models exhibited cointegrated relationships. According to the predicted models, while GDP per capita and total factor productivity have the most positive effect on energy efficiency, on the other hand, fossil fuel use has the most negative effect on energy efficiency among economical variables. Social globalization, government efficiency, and control of corruption are positive; on the other hand, urbanization is negatively effective on energy efficiency. A 1% increase in GDP per capita improves the energy efficiency between 0.78% and 0.86%, and a 1% increase in total factor productivity increases it by about 0.48%. On the other hand, a 1% increase in fossil fuel consumption reduces energy efficiency between 0.56% and 0.70%. A 1% increase in the energy use of the service and industry sectors causes a decrease in the energy efficiency of about 0.43% and 0.19%, respectively. A 1% increase in social globalization, government efficiency, and control of corruption increase energy efficiency by about 0.15%, 0.10%, and 0.03%, respectively, while a 1% increase in urbanization decreases it by about 1.18%
