Randomized controlled study:investigation of the effcet of exercise on liver function tests, fatigue and quality of life in patients with liver cirrhosis
No full textBackground and aims: This randomized controlled study aimed to
determine the effect of the exercise program to be applied in patients
with cirrhosis on the patient’s biochemistry parameters, quality of
life, fatigue level, depression, and quality of sleep.
Method: The study population consisted of 84 patients, including the
physical exercise group (PE, n = 27), the breathing exercise group (BE,
n = 29), and the no intervention group (NI, n = 28).An exercise
program (5 minutes warm-up, 30 minutes walking, 5 minutes
cooldown) and a 10-minute breathing exercise were requested
7days a week for 3 months in PE and BE patients, respectively. The
patients were trained on how to perform the exercises and all the
patients were followed up by phone calls on the exercise days and on
the same days for the NI group to motivate the patients. Personal

Energy and exergy analysis of an industrial corn dryer operated by two different fuels
No full textIn this study, the data obtained after converting an industrial horizontal type corn dryer that meets its drying air temperature from coal to natural gas was compared by thermodynamic analyses. Before starting the drying process, it was assumed that the corn type DKC6050 with 24-25% corn inlet humidity dries when it reaches approximately 14% corn outlet humidity, which is the storage condition after the drying process. Energy and exergy efficiencies, drying rates, unit drying costs, specific moisture extraction rate, and specific energy consumption values of the analysed systems were determined using the data obtained from the experiments carried out at 90, 100 and 110 C drying temperatures. On the other hand, it was also determined that the unit drying cost was approximately 0.1-0.45 €/kg and the specific energy consumption was less than approximately 1,000-8,000 kJ/kgwater. Also, emission values released to the environment were calculated for both systems based on the amount of energy required for drying
Green synthesis of gold nanoparticles from prunus cerasifera pissardii nigra leaf and their antimicrobial activities on some food pathogens
Get PDFIn this study, a new and easy method for the biosynthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with Prunus cerasifera pissardii nigra (PC) leaf extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent was presented. The nanoparticles were demonstrated a characteristic peak at the maximum wavelength of 535 nm with colour change as a result of the ultraviolet (UV)-visible spectrophotometer analysis data. Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) analyzes revealed that the crystal size of the synthesized AuNPs was below 20 nm and the morphological structure was mostly spherical. The size of the crystal structures of AuNPs was calculated as 17.94 nm from the X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis data. Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy results confirmed the involvement of various biomolecules in the reduction and stabilization of PC-AuNPs. The zeta potential of the synthesized nanomaterial was measured as -27 mV. The average size of AuNPs was determined as 103.8 nm with Zetasizer. It was determined that AuNPs have strong inhibitory activity against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtillis and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans

Normalized Difference Vegetation Index and Chlorophyll Content for Precision Nitrogen Management in Durum Wheat Cultivars under Semi-Arid Conditions
No full textTo impart sustainability to modern intensive farming systems, environmental pollution caused by nitrogenous fertilizers needs to be reduced by optimizing their doses. To estimate the grain yield and nutrtional quallity of wheat, the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and chlorophyll content (SPAD) are potential screening tools to identify the N deficiency and screen out the promising cultivars. The two-year field study was comprised of five levels of nitrogen (N) (control, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg N ha-1) and two durum wheat genotypes (Sena and Svevo). The experimental design was split-plot, in which N levels were placed in the main plots, while wheat genotypes were arranged in sub-plots. To predict the yield and quality traits, NDVI and SPAD values recorded at heading, anthesis and milky growth stages were taken as response variables. The results revealed that N fertilization significantly influenced SPAD and NDVI attributed traits of durum wheat, except NDVI at milky stage (NDVI-M) during the first year. The maximum value of NDVI was recorded by 150 kg N ha-1, while control treatment gave the minimum value. The grain yield was increased with the increasing dose of N up to 100 kg N ha-1 (4121 kg ha-1), and thereafter, it was declined with further increased N levels. However, the variation between genotypes was not significant, except NDVI and SPAD values at the milky stage. The genotype Svevo had the highest NDVI values at all growth stages, while the genotype Sena recorded the maximum SPAD values during both years. Similarly, N levels significantly influenced the quality traits (protein, wet gluten, starch test weight and Zeleny sedimentation) of both genotypes. The highly significant relationship of SPAD and NDVI with the grain yield and yield attributes showed their reliability as indicators for determining N deficiency and selection of superior wheat genotypes for ensuring food security under climate change scenario.This research was financially supported by the Sirnak University Research Project Council (Grant Number: 2017.04.09.01)

Factors influencing adaptation of innovations in small ruminant production in the TRC3 Region in Turkey
No full textThis study investigated the socio-economic factors affecting the adoption of innovation in small ruminant production in TRC3 region in Turkey. Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 366 small ruminant farmers from the region. Semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect main data for the study. Data collected were analyzed using descritive statistics, t-tests and multiple linear regression analysis. Results of the study showed that the farmers had a mean age of 45,8 years and 97,0% were male. Traditional production was dominant among the small ruminant producers and as the number of animal increases the income increases (p< 0,01). Out of twelve independent variables, eight of them were statistically significant on multiple linear regression analysis. The F-statistics was statistically significant at 1% level on communication behavior and animal health practices; 5% level on age, breeding reasons, milking way, produced products and fold type. The coefficient of multiple determination (R2) value was estimated to be 0,470 this implies that 47,0% of total variation in the output of small ruminant production was accounted for by the independent variables that were fitted into the model. The main problems of small ruminant production were high feed prices, high deaths of lamps/goat, insufficient use of pastures because of security problems and lack of shepherd due to young people unwillingness to live in rural area
Determining the knowledge levels and opinions of athletes who is age under-16 in different branches about doping and ergogenic AIDS
No full textStudy Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the knowledge levels and opinions of athletes under 16 years of age about doping and ergogenic aids in different branches. The fact that there are no studies in the literature on the knowledge and opinions of athletes under the age of 16 on doping and ergogenic aids has encouraged us to the study. Methods: The sample of the study consists of 392 athletes under 16 years of age in different sports branches. In the study, a questionnaire consisting of 5 likert and 26 questions about doping substances and ergogenic aids was applied to the athletes by Eröz (2007). Results: As a result of the analysis of the obtained findings with the Chi-square test, it was determined that as the age of the athletes increased, the belief that the athlete used doping increased with the fear of losing. It has been determined that as the family income increases, the tendency to try every way to be successful does not decrease significantly, and athletes with low family income are more willing to try every way to be successful. As the education of the athlete's parents increased, the belief that the use of doping harmed the Fair-Play spirit in sports and that doping leads to unfair competition has been increased. Conclusion: The study revealed that there is a need to reinforce the doping knowledge of athletes. It has been concluded that certain socio-economic conditions are determinants in the use of doping by athletes and that they shape their tendency towards doping. Therefore, it is thought that the trainers, managers, athlete families and athletes about the negative effects of doping use on athlete health is of great importance
