Algal Communities as a Biological Indicator of Stormwater Management Pond Performance and Function
Authors: Olding Daniel D. 
Published: March 2019

Abstract
An investigation into phytoplankton and periphyton algal communities of two recently constructed Stormwater management ponds suggests that Stormwater impacts on biological communities are reduced during passage through the ponds, providing a degree of protection for biological communities in their receiving waters. In both ponds, disturbance effects from the incoming Stormwater on algal community richness and evenness appear to be greatest in the sediment forebay and are reduced in the main pond. However, the nature of the disturbance in the two systems can be seen to be fundamentally different from a biological perspective, with Rouge Pond functioning primarily to reduce toxins harmful to algal communities (e.g., heavy metals), and Harding Pond acting to reduce nutrients. The taxonomic composition of the two sites provides an indication of the quality of the incoming Stormwater. Rouge Pond, which contains many marine and brackish water species, receives Stormwater runoff from a major highway, while Harding Pond, containing more nutrient rich species, receives Stormwater primarily from residential properties. Despite the nutrient-rich conditions present in both ponds, nuisance blue-green algae (cyanobacte-ria) are conspicuously absent, and the ponds appear to have little potential for developing harmful algal blooms. The lack of blue-green algae can be linked to the hydraulic functioning of the ponds, suggesting that Stormwater facilities may be engineered to inhibit undesirable algal communities.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
The winter operation of an on-stream Stormwater management pond, located in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, was studied with respect to ice cover formation and breakup, density stratification, velocity field under the ice cover, and the risk of sediment washout The pond freezes over in late November, with the ice thickness reaching up to 0.5 m. During the first half of the winter period, the ice thickness was well described by Stefan’s formula with empirical coefficients appropriate for shallow water bodies. The pond was chemically stratified, with total dissolved solids concentrations up to 1200 mg L-1 observed close to the bottom. The meromictic stability of this stratification was calculated as 882 g . cm.cm-2. Measurements of the velocity field under the ice cover indicated a flow pattern comprising a fast flow region, a small dead zone and a large recirculation zone to the north and south of the fast flow trajectory, respectively. Such a pattern agreed well with that simulated by a CFD model (PHOENICS_). During a snowmelt event, the near-bottom velocities reached up to 0.05 m . S-1, but were not sufficient to scour the bottom sediment.

Published: March 2019

Abstract
Our objective was to use a simple screening model to predict the relative leaching of herbicides in Alberta soils to allow producers the option of choosing herbicides with lower leaching potential. Physical properties for each herbicide were obtained from the literature and the Laskowski model was used to calculate the leaching potential (LP) of the herbicides. Relative LP rankings (LPR) were then created by ranking herbicide LP values on a 1 to 9 scale (1 = no leaching; 9 = high leaching). The leaching rates of nine herbicides (2,4-D, dicamba, MCPA, diclofop, quinclorac, bromoxynil, fenoxaprop, triallate and trifluralin) were then determined on soils from the five major soil zones of Alberta (Brown, Dark Brown, Grey, Dark Grey and Black) using small packed soil columns. Eluate fractions were analyzed using a MSD-GC method. Although there were differences related to soil organic matter content, the relative rates of leaching among the nine herbicides were generally quite consistent. Dicamba, 2,4-D, MCPA and quinclorac leached most readily, followed by bromoxynil, and then diclofop, fenoxaprop and triallate, and finally trifluralin, which did not leach. These soil column results and previous field results validated the LPR for most of the nine herbicides. The LPR did appear to underestimate the leaching of MCPA, bromoxynil and quinclorac. LPR values (1 to 9 scale) are a convenient way to convey herbicide leaching information to producers and could easily be included in herbicide guides along with certain provisos.

Published: March 2019

Drug-induced Psoriasis is one among the common etiological factors of Psoriasis reported worldwide. Familiar drugs known to cause psoriasiform eruptions include Anti-malarials, Beta blockers, NSAIDs, Lithium. etc. Certain antihypertensives like ACE inhibitors, diuretics are also documented to have caused psoriatic episodes.
A 57 y old South-Indian male patient with a history of Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus, Atrial Fibrillation for 4 y; was on antihypertensive therapy for Hypertension and Atrial Fibrillation with proponolol for past 2 y and metoprolol initially. He was presented to the hospital two weeks after switching on to Metoprolol therapy for chief complaints of erythematous scaly lesions especially over both the extremities and paronydrial appearance of nails. Initially, he was on Propranolol therapy which was then shifted to Metoprolol due to an appearance of oral lesions in the mouth. Metoprolol was now discontinued and switched on to Atenolol. After 1-2 w of therapy with Atenolol, the lesions were found to disappear and no recurrence of psoriatic conditions were found.
Proper reviewing of medical history for any allergic reactions and the optimization of drug therapy through Therapeutic Drug Monitoring could be initiated by Clinical Pharmacist in order to avoid such drug-induced flares.

Authors: Ghosh Debjit , Mondal Sumanta , Ramakrishna Prof. Karipeddi 
Published: March 2019

Objective: The present work deals with the qualitative study of the phytoconstituents present in Aegialitis rotundifolia Roxb., ethanolic leaves extract and evaluate its antioxidant properties in vitro.
Methods: The qualitative phytochemical analysis of the extract was performed first using preliminary phytochemical tests and then by liquid chromatography quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-Q-TOF-MS). The antioxidant properties were investigated comprehensively using seven in vitro models viz., 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, nitric oxide (NO) scavenging, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) scavenging, superoxide (SOD) radical scavenging, lipid peroxidation (LPO) assay, reducing power (RP), and total antioxidant activity.
Results: The preliminary phytochemical analysis revealed the presence of several important phytochemical groups whereas the LC-Q-TOF-MS analysis detected 25 phytoconstituents in the extract mostly belonging to flavonoids and alkaloids. The test extract showed strong dose-dependent antioxidant activity in all the seven in vitro models, however, the activity of the extracts was slightly lower compared to the reference standard ascorbic acid.
Conclusion: The test extract showed strong antioxidant properties which could be possibly due to the phytoconstituents detected in the extract.

"Die Sprache ist eine große und göttliche Gabe" (Martin Luther) Reformation und Sprachkultur
Authors: Heine Susanne 
Published: March 2019

"Language is a great and divine gift" (Martin Luther)Reformation and Language Culture In this paper Luther's anthropology is shown as being based on the human capability of speaking. As a speaking person, the human being is not outside the world but involved in the world by communication. For Luther being human means – thanks to the capability of speaking – being in a personal relationship. The author argues that this relationship to others is based in the relationship to God. Although speaking is a gift of God, it can be abused whenever someone stirs up people to degrade others, as populists do. Luther had been reproached to be a populist in his closeness to simple people, but this was only due to his intention, that everyone should understand his translation of the bible. Instead of stoking fears, as populists do, Luther helped people to overcome their fears, by telling them in their own language – due to his German translation – that God loves them.
Über die Verwirrungen hinsichtlich der Genderfrage oder braucht die römisch-katholische Kirche eine Reformation?
Authors: Moser Susanne 
Published: March 2019

On the Confusuions about the Gender Questionor does the Roman Catholic Church need a Reformation? The main purpose of this article is to show that fivehundred years after Luther, the concept of gender bears the same power for reformation as Luther's theses did bevor. Through a discussion of the connection between the horrific cases of abuse in the catholic church and its anti-genderism it is pointed out, that, instead of using gender as a tool for preventing sexualized violence, catholic church attacks gender-studies as gender-ideology. In explaining the concept of gender in detail and by showing how power and sexuality is interwoven and hidden behind a veil of love mystic, it is made clear how the confrontation with gender would bring the necessary reform into the structures of the catholic church.

Handan romanında batılılaşmış kadın karşısında batılılaş(ama)mış erkekler
Authors: Atabağsoy Naim 
Published: March 2019

Türk edebiyatında roman türünde eser veren
yazarların Batılılaşma meselesine yoğun olarak ilgi gösterdiği görülür. Bu aynı
zamanda, özellikle 19. yüzyılın ikinci yarısı ve 20. yüzyılın başlarında toplumsal
olarak Batılılaşmaya yönelik mevcut eğilimin bir tezahürüdür. Toplumdaki bu
yenileşme sürecinde kadının konumu da elbette sorgulanmış ve bu konu
edebiyatta, çoğunlukla romanlar aracılığıyla karşımıza çıkmıştır. Bu anlamda
çalışma, kadın hareketlerindeki görünürlüğüyle de bilinen Halide Edip Adıvar’ın
mektuplaşmalar biçiminde kaleme alınmış 1912 tarihli romanı Handan’ı odağına almaktadır. Romanın
merkezindeki karakter olan Handan’ın kendisini birbirinden farklı şekillerde
arzulayan ve Batılılaşmış görünen erkek karakterlerle sorunlu ilişkisi,
modernleşme sürecinde kadının toplumdaki konumunu da sorgulamaya iter. Romanda
Nâzım, Hüsnü Paşa ve Refik Cemal karakterleri, bu süreci Batı’yı yüzeysel
biçimde taklit ederek tecrübe eden erkek karakterlerdir. Bu erkek karakterler,
toplumdaki yeni tip erkeği farklı şekillerde temsil ederken buna paralel
gelişen yeni kadın tipini çelişkili biçimde özümseyememektedirler. Handan,
toplumsal meselelerde fikirleri olan iyi eğitimli bir kadındır. O, geleneksel çizgideki hemcinslerine kıyasla
erkeklerle daha rahat iletişim kurar, erkeklerin de bulunduğu meclislerde
serbestçe görüşlerini açıklar, üstelik onlarla tartışmalara girmekten geri
durmaz. Handan bu yönleriyle Nâzım’da, Hüsnü Paşa’da ve Refik Cemal’de belirgin
bir çekince uyandırır. Çalışma Handan’ın bu üç
erkekle ilişkisine, erkeklerin bu yeni toplumsal süreçte kadınlar karşısındaki
çelişkili tutumuna ve Handan’ın gelenek karşısındaki konumlanışına
eğilmektedir.
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar’ın bazı romanlarında kenar mahalleler
Authors: Öner Haluk 
Published: March 2019

Mahalle; sosyal hayatın yerlilik vurgusu yapan,
kültürel, ekonomik açıdan benzer insanları bir araya getiren yahut
benzemeyenleri yakınlaştıran, aidiyet hissini mekânla özdeşleştiren dinamik
unsurlarından biridir. Kenar mahalle de bu dinamiğin içinde ekonomik, kültürel,
ahlaki açıdan ve dil bakımından çevrede kalan; merkezle oluşan uzak mesafeyi
gösteren, gündelik hayatı ayrıntılarıyla yansıtan müesseselerindendir. Bu
yönüyle kentleşme olgusunun somutlaştığı zamanlardan itibaren edebi eserlerin
önemli mekânlarından ve sosyolojinin ilgilendiği alanlardan biri olmuştur.
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar, Türk edebiyatında kent kimliğinin henüz
yerleştiği dönemlerden itibaren kenar mahalleleri eserlerine yansıtan romancılardan biridir. Yazar, kenar mahallelerin ve buradaki
insanların görünümlerini yazma anının gerçeklerine uygun bir bakışla dile
getirirken kurguyu da bu gerçeklikten yola çıkarak şekillendirir. Yazarın kenar
mahallelerde geçen romanlarında kurgu ve kurgudaki çatışma unsurları, buralarda
yaşamakla doğrudan ilgilidir. Dolayısıyla kenar mahalle, yazarın dünyasında
yalnızca bir mekân unsuru olmanın ötesinde sınıf farklılığının, canlı ve renkli
kent hayatının, yoksulluğun, alt kültür pratiklerinin görüldüğü gündelik hayat
müessesesidir. Bu makalede üretken bir yazar olan Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar’ın
kenar mahalleleri, buralardaki insanları ve hayatları yansıtma bağlamında
temsil değeri olan 13 romanı incelenecektir. Kenar mahallelerin nasıl tasvir
edildiği, buralarda yaşayan ve romanların kişi kadrosunu oluşturan insanların
ele alınma biçimleri üzerinde durulacaktır. Yazarın romanlarında kenar
mahalleleri ele almasının sebepleri üzerinde durulacaktır. Hüseyin Rahmi
Gürpınar’ın kenar
mahalleleri ve insanlarını bir sınıf sorunsalı olarak değerlendirip
değerlendirmediği de sorgulanacaktır.&nbsp;
Ontolojik metin tahlili hakkında bazı tespitler
Authors: Bingöl Ulaş 
Published: March 2019

Ontolojik yöntem son yıllarda sıkça başvurulan
metin tahlil tekniklerinden biridir. İsmail Tunalı’nın Sanat Ontolojisi isimli eserinde, Nikolai Hartmann ve Roman
Ingarden’ın düşüncelerinden faydalanarak geliştirdiği ontolojik yöntem,
edebiyat araştırmacıları tarafından özellikle şiir incelemelerinde
kullanılmaktadır. Birçok araştırmacı, Tunalı’nın yöntemini bazı değişiklikler
yaparak edebî metne uygulamaya çalışır. Ontolojik yönteme göre metin
incelenirken genellikle iki konu göz ardı edilir: Birincisi edebî eserin var
olmasını sağlayan yazar, ikincisi okuyucu veya alımlayıcı özne. Sanat
faaliyeti; eser, sanatçı ve alımlayıcı öznenin içinde yer aldığı bir süreçtir.
Ontolojik yöntem esere odaklanmasına rağmen sanatçı ve alımlayıcı öznenin
varlığını yadsımaz. Ontolojik yöntem ile metin tahlili, şüphesiz bir metni
çözümlemede araştırmacının disiplin içerisinde hareket etmesini sağlar.
Araştırmacının metin dışı unsurları bir tarafa bırakarak metinin kendisine,
başka bir deyişle metnin varlığına odaklanmasına olanak tanır. Tarafsız,
bilimsel neticelerin alınmasında ve edebî metnin doğasının anlaşılmasında
ontolojik yöntemin önemli katkıları olduğu yadsınamaz. Edebî eser, ontik
bütünlüğünü aynı zamanda yazara ve okuyucunun varlığına borçludur. Bir eserin
ontik bütünlük göstermesinde yazar ve alımlayıcı öznenin rolü, ancak sanat
felsefesi ve estetik disiplini hakkında yeteri derecede bilgi sahibi olmakla
bilinebilir. Nitekim İsmail Tunalı, ontolojik yöntemi metne uygulamadan önce
sanat felsefesi ve ontolojinin sanat eserinin anlaşılmasındaki etkisine
değinir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, ontolojik yöntem ile yapılan metin tahlillerinde
öne çıkan bazı eksiklikleri ortaya koyup ontolojik yöntemde sanatçı ve
alımlayıcı öznenin önemsenmesinin gereğini belirtmektir.
Murathan Mungan’ın Şairin Romanı romanında fantastik unsurlar

Published: March 2019

Sanatçı, kimi zaman gerçeklere olduğundan farklı
yaklaşıp ona estetik bir şekil vererek kimi zaman da gerçeklerden bunaldığı
için onlardan kaçarak kendi kurduğu kumaca bir dünyaya sığınır. Sanatçı
sınırsız hayal gücü sayesinde kurduğu bu dünyada sanatın gücü sayesinde
gerçekleri daha soyutlaştırır ya da kendi hayal ürünü olan fantastik mekânlara
da gerçek bir hüviyet kazandırır. Eserlerinde mitoloji, masal, efsane ve halk
hikâyesi unsurlarını sıklıkla kullanmanın yanında bazı hikâye ve romanlarında
fantastik unsurlara da yer veren Murathan Mungan 1980 sonrası Türk edebiyatında
önemli şahsiyetlerden biridir. Mungan; şiir, tiyatro, roman ve hikâye gibi
değişik türlerde birçok eser yazmıştır. Bizler de bu çalışmada onun fantastik
tür kapsamında değerlendirilebilecek Şairin
Romanı adlı eserini inceledik. Çalışmanın amacı fantastik türün ilkelerine
bağlı kalarak romandaki fantastik unsurları tespit etmek, ayrıntılı bir şekilde
kategorilere ayırıp belirlemektir. Buna göre söz konusu eserde sırasıyla;
fantastik kişiler, mekânlar, zaman, olaylar, hayvanlar, bitkiler ve nesneler
incelenmiştir. Çalışmada, veri toplama aracı olarak nitel araştırma
yöntemlerinden olan doküman inceleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır.&nbsp;
