FEASIBILITY OF NEARLY-ZERO ENERGY BUILDING RETROFITS BY USING RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES IN AN EDUCATIONAL BUILDING
Full text linkDissemination of education is vital especially in developing countries like Turkey. Besides, proper use of energy resources is required while dissemination of education is ensured. Considering the regions where energy is limited, renewable energy sources should be used to achieve the goal of a zero-energy building. Moreover, an increase of smart technologies has potantial in order to decrease energy consumption in educational buildings. This paper aims to investigate renewable energy sources to decrease energy consumption to achieve nearly-zero energy building goal by implementing different energy efficient retrofitting scenarios. The retroffitting scenarios are based on renewable energy sources and are presented for an educational building located in Ankara-Turkey, through a Building Energy Simulation Tool, Design Builder Software. In order to develop an accurate model, educational building is monitored and the model is calibrated. Then, various energy efficient retrofitting scenarios are defined such as implementing PV panels, solar collectors and adding wind turbines for electricity generation
INVESTIGATION OF BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITIES OF 4-HYDROXY-3-(2-HYDROXY-5-METHYLBENZYLIDEAMINO) BENZENESULPHONIC ACID
Full text linkIn this study, the antimicrobial activity, DNA cleavage, DNA binding and antioxidant properties of a sulfonic acid-based imine compound were investigated. The antimicrobial activity of the compound was investigated for minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) against some bacteria and yeast cultures. The DNA cleavage activity of the compound was investigated as hydrolytic and oxidative with the gel electrophoresis method. H2O2 was used as an oxidizing agent for detection of the cleavage activity mechanism. The Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) field absorption spectroscopy method was used to determine the binding effect to DNA. The sulfonic acid-based imine compound reacted with Calf Thymus DNA (CT-DNA) which was examined by UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy. The free radical scavenging activity was determined using the 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method.
The studied compound was found to be effective on yeast and bacteria at different concentrations. The compound was found to be more effective on Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923 and Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 bacteria. DNA cleavage study showed that the compound cleaved DNA without any external agents in hydrolytic and oxidative manner. UV-Vis spectroscopy studies of the interactions between the compound and CT-DNA showed that the compound interacts with CT-DNA via electrostatic binding. The compound to be tested was compared with the butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) solution used as standard. It was found that the compound exhibits good antioxidant activity
FIELD STUDY ON KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIORS REGARDING VIOLENCE IN TRAFFIC AND ROAD RAGE
Full text linkContext and Aim: The road rage can be defined as the anger occurred while driving and its level can be associated with aggressive and risky driving, loss of concentration and vehicular control, and near accident misses on traffic. The aim of this study is to measure whether the attitudes and behaviors of people in the face of incidents in traffic are covered by road rage and also whether people are aware of their legal rights when they encounter violence in traffic.
Methodology: In this study, the factorability of the 14-item short form of Driver Anger Scale (DAS) was investigated among 421 drivers from Turkish population, and SPSS program has been used in the analyses.
Findings: Drivers had more difficulty in controlling their anger and showed aggressive behaviors when they felt they were at risk and could control their anger better in cases of impatience, such as waiting for a vehicle to park. The percentage of those who honk in traffic and of those who flash their lights when they get angry in traffic was 71% and 57%, respectively, which suggest that the acts of honking, flashing lights have become normal and are not considered as acts of violence. While 75% of the surveyed drivers, and 80% of the non-lawyers surveyed drivers stated that they did not know their legal rights when they encountered violence in traffic, 81% of the lawyers who participated in the research stated that they knew their legal rights.
Conclusion: Violence in traffic ranges from injury to killing, from insulting to sexual harassment, from endangering traffic safety to damage to property. Although there are some regulations proposed in the legal dimension to combat violence in traffic and suggestions to enable drivers to control their anger, the main solution is increasing the level of culture and education
