Authors: CEVHERİ Cevher İlhan , YILMAZ Ahmet 
Published: October 2018

Soybean {Glycine
max (L.) Merill} is not only an important food source containing fat,
protein, carbohydrate and minerals but also an important industrial plant
providing raw material for many industries. Organic farming is an important
element for sustainability of farming, protection of environment, and reduction
of chemical fertilizers usage. Soybean, like other legumes, has rhizobium
bacteria in its roots providing nitrogen and organic materials which facilitate
the sustainability of organic farming. This study was conducted with the aim of
researching the effects of the organic cattle manure doses on yield and yield
elements of soybean under semi-arid climatic conditions in organic farming. In
this study, organic cattle manure with the doses of 0, 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000
kg ha-1 were applied to Adasoy Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merill] cultivar under the second crop conditions.
There search was conducted according to the random blocks experimental design
with three replications during 2013 and 2014. In results obtained from the
two-years study determined that the seed yield varied between 1678.9 and 2611.8
kg ha-1; plant height varied between 87.00 and 112.00 cm; number of
branches per plant varied between 3.04 and 6.28; first pod
height varied between 7.68 and 12.81 cm; number of pod per plant varied between
103.83 and 138.66 per plant-1; protein ratio varied between 39.31%
and 41.74%; 100 seeds weight varied
between 12.49 g and 15.28 g; and oil ratio varied between 20.51% to 21.91%. According to the
results of correlation analysis, positive and important correlations between
seed yield with number of branches per plant (r=0.4964**), and number of pod
per plant (r=0.4964*) and 100 seeds weight (r=0.5782**) were observed.

The Pleistocene is an important period for assessing the effects of climate change on biological diversity. In the beginning of this period, many tree species disappeared in the flora of Europe, with ongoing, but smaller losses later, and many tree species exhibiting repeated strong range shifts mostly at the end of the period. It is thought that some areas will be more affected from possible climate change. The Mediterranean Basin is the most important among the mentioned sensitive areas. Species with scattered, relict populations in the region would be more affected by future climate change. One such species is Taxus baccata. Taxus baccata, which is distributed throughout the temperate zones of Northern hemisphere, is the only species of Taxus to be naturally distributed in Turkey. Apart from its general dispersal area in the north of Turkey, Taxus baccata is seen in small groups in protected local areas in southern Anatolia.The aim of this study is to determine the potential effects of past and future climate change on the distribution of Taxus baccata in Bolkar Mountains, using species distribution modelling. We studied how the potential distribution has been affected by the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) climate and the subsequent climate shift to the present, and it can be expected to be affected by future climate change, as represented by a range of future climate change scenarios. For this purpose, Maxent is used for determining the distribution of Taxus baccata. Our Maxent model results show that the AUC values are calculated as 0,85 and 0,80 in sequence. Our results show that the Taxus baccata would have found suitable conditions in the Bolkar Mountains area even during the LGM, pointing to this as an important refuge area. With also find that the potential distribution in Kadincik Valley (on the southern slope of Bolkar Mountains) of Taxus baccata has been reduced with the shift to a Holocene climate, and the distribution in Taurus Mountains is likely diminish even further under future climate change.

Our results show that Taxus baccata is a cool-climate relict in southern Turkey and that its distribution is likely to come under further pressure from future climate change. This situation is likely shared with many other temperate plant species persisting with small populations in mountain areas in the region.

Published: October 2018

Vinasse and biocarbon are used as recuperators of saline-sodium soils. The objective was to analyze remediation process of saline-sodium soils in the district of Tambo Grande, Piura. A sample of 10 kg of saline soil was used and it was taken to the laboratory for testing. Two columns of ground were built; at the lower end of each column was placed a leachate collecting vessel. The columns were divided into two treatments: the first was treated with water and the second was treated with vinasse; the conditions of the field washing were simulated for each column, periodically the leachates were analyzed and at the end of one month of treatment was performed analysis each of the soils in the columns. The final results indicated a decrease PSI (0.49), sodium (3.52 meq/L), Electrical Conductivity (1.46 dS/m), as well as an increase of nutrients mainly potassium (20 meq/L) and percentage of organic matter (2.17%). To evaluate the effectiveness of the soil, tests were carried out in pots with a culture called wild radish (raphanus sativus) in four pots of which one was a blank sample (without any treatment) and the remaining three had the soil treated with vinasse with different proportions of (25%, 50%, 75% by weight), for which the growth (cm) and vigor (number of leaves, number of shoots) of the crop were taken as parameters. The results indicated a better growth in the treatment with 25% of biochar, also evidenced the lack of growth in the control treatment.

Published: October 2018

In our country, the wastewater discharges affect to water bodies, public health and as well as different ecosystems without any kind of treatment. For this reason, a different and effective treatment is proposed for the minimization of total coliforms present in the wastewater from Puerto Bermudez, Oxapampa, Peru with the generation of air micro-nanobubbles. The degree of contamination shown in the different physico-chemical and biological parameters was determined; as well as their impact’s minimization to obtain a better quality of life.The research was experimental, the assembly of the air micro-nanobubbles generator was done to get treatment by dosage. The analysis were carried out to determine the degree of contamination and thus treat them with air micro-nanobubbles in different quantities and thus have the best result. The results of the treatment with air micro-nanobubbles were favorable. The efficiency achieved was 66.21%.
New effects in and control of exciton systems in quasi-two-dimensional structures
Authors: Lozovik Yu E 
Published: October 2018

Abstract
New effects in systems of quantum dipoles are discussed, such as anisotropic superfluidity in external fields, strong correlations, crystallization, and the supersolid phase. Roton instability effects typical of strongly correlated Bose systems but also manifesting themselves in weakly interacting systems of titled dipoles are analyzed. Among the interesting physical realizations of the systems under consideration are dipole excitons in single or coupled quantum wells under a strong transverse electric field and in van der Waals heterostructures of new 2D materials, such as transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs). The use at ultralow temperatures of polar molecules or atoms with permanent or external-field-induced dipoles is also interesting, as are Rydberg atoms in an external electric field.
L’Hôtel-Dieu de Tonnerre. Questions d’architecture
Authors: Boulet Jacques 
Published: October 2018

Il ressort des divers récits sur l’Hôtel-Dieu de Tonnerre une histoire architecturale de l’édifice Hôtel-Dieu centrée sur les dimensions exceptionnelles d’une nef unique sur le plan basilical, à la fois église et salle des malades. La généalogie d’une singularité architecturale est réduite aux dimensions imposantes de l’Hôtel-Dieu, dont le classement au titre de « monument historique », en 1842, autorise la démolition de ce qu’il reste de l’histoire architecturale et urbaine de la Maison-Dieu initiée en 1292 et vouée aux Sept Miséricordes par Marguerite de Bourgogne.Le vestige de la Maison-Dieu participe alors d’une histoire de la monumentalité, où les valeurs mémorielles du document d’architecture qui justifient son devenir monument entrent en tension, sinon en conflit, avec ses valeurs d’usage au sens large.L’ouverture de la nef à des manifestations diverses illustre la pérennité de l’usage cultuel qui demeure (messe d’anniversaire de la mort de Marguerite de Bourgogne), et le passage très lent de l’usage hospitalier, abandonné en 1642, à un usage culturel.Au-delà de la seule vertu d’un grand contenant culturel, l’hospitalité offerte à des installations artistiques éphémères instaure un rapport nouveau à l’architecture de l’édifice, un sens nouveau du monument, de nouvelles perceptions de sa monumentalité. Ce qui fait œuvre avec les installations de Caroline Coppey et de Didier Guth, ce n’est pas tant le placement in situ des installations que la « prise de site » qu’elles opèrent et l’expérience esthétique qu’elles proposent. L’ici de l’installation ouvre sur un ailleurs, un espace de déplacements libres avec ses réversibilités et ses temporalités, un autrement de l’espace muséal et monumental.
JADENU® SUBSTITUTING EXJADE® IN IRON OVERLOADED Β- THALASSEMIA MAJOR (BTM) PATIENTS: A PRELIMINARY REPORT OF THE EFFECTS ON THE TOLERABILITY, SERUM FERRITIN LEVEL, LIVER IRON CONCENTRATION AND BIOCHEMICAL PROFILES
Authors: De Sanctis Vincenzo 
Published: October 2018

Abstract. Introduction: Due to the chronic nature of chelation therapy and the adverse consequences of iron overload, patient adherence to therapy is an important issue. Jadenu ® is a new oral formulation of deferasirox (Exjade ®) tablets for oral suspension. While Exjade® is a dispersible tablet that must be mixed in liquid and taken on an empty stomach, Jadenu ® can be taken in a single step, with or without a light meal, simplifying administration for the treatment of patients with chronic iron overload. This may significantly improve the compliance to treatment of patients withβ-thalasemia major (BMT). The aim of this study was to evalute the drug tolerability and the effects of chelation therapy on serum ferritin concentration, liver iron concentration (LIC) and biochemical profiles in patients with BMT and iron overload.
Patients and Methods: Twelve selected adult patients BMT (mean age: 29 years; range:15-34 years) were enrolled in the study. All patients were on monthly regular packed cell transfusion therapy to keep their pre-transfusional hemoglobin (Hb) level not less than 9 g/dL. They were on Exjade ® therapy (30 mg/kg per day) for 2 years or more before starting Jadenu ® therapy (14-28 mg/kg/day). The reason for shifting from Deferasirox ® to Jadenu ® therapy was lack of tolerability, since most of the patients described Deferasirox ® as not palatable. Lab investigations included montly urine analysis and measurement of their serum concentrations of creatinine, fasting blood glucose (FBG), serum ferritin, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transferase (ALT), aspartate transferase (AST) and albumin concentrations. LIC was measured using FerriScan ®. Thyroid function, vitamin D and serum parathormone, before and one year after starting Jadenu ® therapy, were also assessed.
Results: Apart from some minor gastrointestinal complaints reported in 3 BMT patients that did not require discontinuation of therapy, other side effects were not registered during the treatment. Subjectively, patients reported an improvement in the palatability of Jadenu® compared to Exjade ® therapy in 8 out of 12 BMT patients. A non-significant decrease in LIC and serum ferritin levels was observed after 1 year of treatment with Jadenu ® . A positive significant correlation was found between serum ferritin level and LIC measured by FerriScan ® method. LIC and serum ferritin level correlated significantly with ALT level (r = 0.31 and 0.45 respectively, p < 0.05). No significant correlation was detected between LIC and other biochemical or hormonal parameters.
Conclusion: Our study shows that short-term treatment with Jadenu ® is safe but is associated with a non-significant decrease in LIC and serum ferritin levels. Therefore, there is an urgent need for adequately-powered and high-quality trials to assess the clinical efficacy and the long-term outcomes of new deferasirox formulation.
Business rescue: Adapt or die

Published: October 2018

Background: The low success rate of business rescue has prompted debate relating to the effectiveness and continued suitability of business rescue as a mechanism to rehabilitate financially distressed companies. Although this legislation was implemented in May 2011, statistics indicate that the success rate for business rescues is only approximately 12%. A feature of the business rescue environment in South Africa is the lack of knowledge, necessitating more research in the field.Aim: This study focused on changes required to ensure the survival and increased success of the business rescue legislation.Setting: This research was undertaken in South Africa between 2015 and 2017.Methods: A mixed-methods research approach was utilised for the study. The approach entailed interviews with 7 of the top 10 business rescue practitioners to diagnose reasons for business rescue failure and establish factors that would contribute to successful business rescues. A survey was conducted with the membership of the Turnaround Management Association of Southern Africa.Results: The survey was mailed to 130 members and the response rate was 54%. This study found that the causes of business rescue failures are mainly attributable to the skills deficit of the business rescue practitioner or the practitioner’s abuse of legislation. There is also a negative impact of appointing a liquidator as a business rescue practitioner. Other factors contributing to the failure of business rescues are management’s delay in filing for business rescue, either due to the resistance of filing or their lack of awareness of their distressed status. This study also provided the ranking order for business rescue success factors with the accreditation of a business rescue practitioner being ranked as first.Conclusion: The study chiefly focused on diagnosing and understanding the reasons for business rescue failure. The original contribution of this study to knowledge is the ranking of an accreditation framework for practitioners as the most important factor that would contribute to a successful business rescue. This study not only explains the low success rate of business rescue but ways to improve and succeed in rescuing ailing businesses.
Cytotoxic potential of <em>Cissus quandrangularis</em> on <em>Allium cepa</em> root meristem
Authors: Mattummal Rubeena , Thoppil John E 
Published: October 2018

<p>Apoptosis is a developmental and regulated process which may occur as a result of the cytogenetic changes in the cell. <em>Cissus quandrangularis</em> is a xerophytic plant that belongs to the family Vitaceae, commonly distributed throughout the hotter parts of India and Sri Lanka. An attempt had been made to explore the apoptosis-mediated cytotoxic potential of <em>C.</em> <em>quadrangularis</em> on <em>Allium cepa</em>. Cytogenetic activities of the plant were revealed using DAPI staining and <em>in situ</em> visualization of cell death was carried out with the help of Evans blue staining. The presence of clastogenic (nuclear lesions, chromosome bridges, chromosome breakage and pulverization of chromosomes) and non-clastogenic abberations (ball metaphase, stellate metaphase, chromosome clumping and early movement of chromosomes) observed under fluorescent microscope shows the cytotoxic effect of the plant extract. The quantification of cell death was measured by reading absorbance at 600 nm using the spectrophotometer. The cytotoxic effects on <em>Allium</em> root tips shows the apoptotic potential of the plant extract and the present study enlightens the anticancer potential of the plant.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><h2> </h2><h2> </h2><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
Employee and the Self-Employed Job Satisfaction: Similarities and Differences
Authors: Janicijevic Nebojsa , Ignjatović Paunović Katarina 
Published: October 2018

Research question: This paper investigates if there are differences between employees and the self-employed job satisfaction levels. Motivation: The motive for this research was the desire to determine the validity of the assumption that the self-employed are more satisfied with their jobs than employees, and also to investigate for the first time in Serbia the differences in the self-employed and employee job satisfaction. The paper relies on earlier research works that have all shown that the self-employed are more satisfied with their jobs than employees (Blanchflower, 2004). This is due to the autonomy at work that the self-employed have, while employees experience it in a smaller degree. In addition, the selfemployed also have better opportunities to organize their work so that it can be interesting, a greater flexibility at work and larger income. Idea: In this perspective, the central hypothesis of this study is that in Serbia, and also other researched countries, the self-employed job satisfaction is higher than that of the employees in their firms. Therefore, the research has been directed to determine whether job satisfaction, as a dependent variable, is systematically different depending on the respondents’ status (self-employed – employee), as an independent variable. Data: The research included 127 employees in 15 different business firms run by the self-employed from different parts of Serbia. Of the total number of respondents, 52 were self-employed while 75 were employees. The respondents rated the importance of and their satisfaction with 12 job dimensions. Tools: While calculating the average importance and satisfaction rates of the self-employed and employees, as well as the statistical significance of the differences in their ratings by means of independent sample t test, significant results have been obtained. Findings: Just like in the earlier research, it has been confirmed that the self-employed show a higher level of total job satisfaction in comparison with employees. Statistically significant differences in the job dimensions’importance exist only in the job dimension “Work that does not require overtime”, which is significantly more important to employees than to the self-employed. With respect to job satisfaction, statistically significant differences exist in 6 out of 12 job dimensions, and in each of them the self-employed are more satisfied than the employees. Unlike in earlier research, the main source of the self-employed satisfaction is not autonomy at work, but personal responsibility in task completion, safe working conditions and friendly atmosphere at work. Contribution: The study has once again shown that the selfemployed are more satisfied with their job in comparison with the employees, and that this also applies in Serbia.
