'MONROE' ŞEFTALİ ÇEŞİDİNİN SOĞUKTA MUHAFAZASINA ALOE VERA UYGULAMALARININ ETKİLERİ
No full textBu çalışmanın amacı, Eğirdir-Isparta yöresinde yetiştirilen ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidinin soğukta muhafazasına Aloe vera uygulamalarının etkileri ve soğukta depolamave raf ömrü süresince meyve kalitesinde görülen değişimlerin saptanmasıdır. Bu çalışmada materyal olarak, Eğirdir-Isparta yöresinde yetiştirilen ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidimeyveler kullanılmıştır. ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidi meyveleri 0±0.5 °C’de ve %90±5 oransal nemde 60 gün süreyle soğuk hava deposunda muhafaza edilmiştir. Raf ömrü çalışmaları için soğukta depolamadan çıkartılan meyveler 20±1 °C ve %65±5 oransal nemde 3 gün bekletilmiş ve aynı analizler yapılmıştır. ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidi meyvelerinde Kontrol, Kontrol + su, Aloe vera ve Aloe vera + kuşburnu yağı uygulamaları yapılmıştır. Ağırlık kayıpları (%), görünüş (1‒5), fizyolojik ve mantarsal bozulmalar (%), meyve kabuk rengi, meyve eti sertliği (N), suda çözünebilir toplam kuru madde miktarı (%), titre edilebilir asit miktarı (%), pH değeri incelenmiş ve tat (1‒9) puanlaması yapılmıştır. Bulgularımıza göre, ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidi meyvelerine uygulanan Aloe vera + kuşburnu yağı uygulamasında ağırlık kayıpları %5’i geçmediğinden meyveler ekonomik olarak pazarlanabilirliğini kaybetmemiştir. ‘Monre’ şeftali çeşidinde meyve eti sertliği muhafaza süresini sınırlandırıcı bir faktör olmuştur. Tat değerlendirmesinde meyveler 45. günün sonunda tüketici tarafından kabul edilebilir sınırın altında kalmıştır. Tüm kalite parametreleri birlikte değerlendirildiğinde; kalitelerinden bir şey kaybetmeden 0 C (±0.5) sıcaklık ve %90 (±5.0) oransal nem koşullarında ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidinden Kontrol, Su kontrol ve Aloe vera uygulamaları 30 gün, Aloe vera + Kuşburnu yağı uygulaması 45 gün kaliteli bir şekilde muhafaza edilebileceği saptanmıştır. Görünüş puanlarının yüksek ve ağırlık kayıplarının az olması nedeniyle, ‘Monroe’ şeftali çeşidinde Aloe vera + Kuşburnu yağı uygulamasının kullanımı ümitvar bulunmuştur.Anahtar Kelimeler: Şeftali, ‘Monroe’, Aloe vera, soğukta muhafaza, kalite</p
Effects of dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses in children with cerebral palsy: A single-blind randomized controlled trial.
No full textBackground:The dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses (DEFOs) are made of neoprene material, providing the right biomechanical alignment and afferent input in the trunk, pelvis, and extremities, potentially allowing individuals to actively participate in daily life.Objective:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of DEFOs applied to the lower trunk and pelvis, on balance, gait parameters, and pelvic symmetry in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Study Design:An evaluator-blinded randomized controlled trial.Methods:Twenty-two children (7 girls, 15 boys) aged 4-10 years, with spastic CP, Gross Motor Function Classification System levels 1 and 2 were included. Thirteen children were randomly assigned to the control group (group 1) and 13 to the orthosis group (group 2), but 4 withdrew before treatment commenced. There were 10 children in group 1 and 12 in group 2. Both groups received a physiotherapy and rehabilitation program twice a week for 8 weeks. Children in group 2 received lower body and pelvis DEFOs in addition to physiotherapy and rehabilitation sessions. Dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses wearing tolerance was gradually built up over the first week, until the child was wearing the DEFO 8 h per day. The pediatric balance scale and timed up and go test were used to assess balance, while gait parameters and pelvic kinematic values were evaluated using the BTS G-Walk, a wireless mini digital gait analysis system. All of the measurement tools used were validated for CP.Results:Only stride length among the gait parameters changed in the group using DEFO compared with the group not using it (p = 0.035). There was no change in gait speed and cadence nor were there any differences in the balance scores between the groups. However, the pelvic tilt in the frontal plane of the pelvis improved significantly in the group using DEFOs compared with the group not using it (p = 0.014).Conclusions:Dynamic elastomeric fabric orthoses used in the lower body and pelvis conferred superior stride length and the pelvic tilt in the frontal plane to conventional physiotherapy. All other outcomes were equally effective between groups
Sustainability Analysis of Olive Production in Hatay Province, Turkey
No full textHatay Province, located in the Southern Mediterranean region of Turkey, contributes approximately 7% of the country’s olive production. This study assessed the sustainability of olive enterprises in the province by interviewing 100 producers across 5 districts. A total of 33 variables (10 economic, 14 social, 9 environmental) were identified and used to evaluate sustainability. Results showed that 76% of the enterprises were considered “fragile”, 14% were considered “good”, and 10% were considered “poor”, with the highest scores obtained for social sustainability (58%), and the lowest obtained for environmental sustainability (7%). Statistically significant relationships were also found between sustainability and the following variables: being a member of a producer organization (χ2 = 5,144; p < 0.05), planning to increase production (χ2 = 10,747; p < 0.05), a willingness for their descendant to become a farmer (χ2 = 6,349; p < 0.05), and a decrease in fertilizer use (χ2 = 4,070; p < 0.05). Moreover, only 63% of producers reported having successors willing to continue agricultural activities, with production costs and product prices identified as key factors in their decision to remain in agricultural production. These findings highlight the need for stronger support for olive enterprises to ensure sustainable production. Given the vulnerability of most enterprises in Hatay Province and future significant challenges that may be encountered, it is critical to enhance the level of effectiveness of cooperative organizations, along with policies aimed at improving economic and environmental conditions in the region
