Tur Abdin Kiliseleri ve Manastırları : İstisnai Tanıklık
No full textTur Abdin kayda değer bir kilise ve manastır yoğunluğuna sahiptir. Ancak çoğu Süryani manastırı ve kilisesi yıkılma, hatta izlerinin tamamen yok olması tehdidiyle karşı karşıyadır. Bazı bölümleri 6. yüzyıla tarihlenen ve bölgenin karakterini bir bütün olarak anlamamızı sağlayan, hem benzer özellikler hem de ayrı ayrı kendine has özellikler barındıran beş manastır ve dört kilise UNESCO adaylığı için seçilmiştir. UNESCO Dünya Miras Listesi’ne girmeleri için çaba harcanması bu yapıların uluslararası bilinirliğinin sağlanarak korunmalarında Süryaniler dışındaki paydaşların da sorumluluk alacağına dair umudu canlı tutmaktadır. Elbette bu mirasın değeri listelere girmekle ölçülemez ancak etnik ve dini bir azınlığın kırılgan mirası söz konusu olduğunda UNESCO Dünya Miras Listesi adaylığı ayrı bir önem kazanmaktadır
An analysis of age-standardized suicide rates in Muslim-majority countries in 2000-2019
Get PDFBackground: This study examines the 20-year trend of suicide in 46 Muslim-majority countries throughout the world and compares their suicide rates and trends with the global average. Ecological-level associations between the proportion of the Muslim population, the age-standardized suicide rates, male-to-female suicide rate ratio, and the Human Development Index (HDI) in 2019 were examined.
Methods: Age-standardized suicide rates were extracted from the WHO Global Health Estimates database for the period between 2000 and 2019. The rates in each country were compared with the age-standardized global average during the past 20 years. The countries were further grouped according to their regions/sub-regions to calculate the regional and sub-regional weighted age-standardized suicide rates involving Muslim-majority countries. Correlation analyses were conducted between the proportion of Muslims, age-standardized suicide rate, male: female suicide rate ratio, and the HDI in all countries. Joinpoint regression was used to analyze the age-standardized suicide rates in 2000-2019.
Results: The 46 countries retained for analysis included an estimated 1.39 billion Muslims from a total worldwide Muslim population of 1.57 billion. Of these countries, eleven (23.9%) had an age-standardized suicide rate above the global average in 2019. In terms of regional/sub-regional suicide rates, Muslim-majority countries in the Sub-Saharan region recorded the highest weighted average age-standardized suicide rate of 10.02/100,000 population, and Southeastern Asia recorded the lowest rate (2.58/100,000 population). There were significant correlations between the Muslim population proportion and male-to-female rate ratios (r=-0.324, p=0.028), HDI index and age-standardized suicide rates (r=-0.506, p<0.001), and HDI index and male-to-female rate ratios (r=0.503, p<0.001) in 2019. Joinpoint analysis revealed that seven Muslim-majority countries (15.2%) recorded an increase in the average annual percentage change regarding age-standardized suicide rates during 2000-2019.
Conclusions: Most Muslim-majority countries had lower age-standardized suicide rates than the global average, which might reflect religious belief and practice or due to Muslim laws in their judicial and social structure which may lead to underreporting. This finding needs further in-depth country and region-specific study with regard to its implication for public policy
Determination of hydroxymethylfurfural in Turkish honeys, pekmez (grape molasses), and jam samples by high-performance liquid chromatography with diode array detection
No full textHydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a chemical contaminant that is not naturally present in carbohydrate-containing food samples. The HMF amounts were changed between 4.8 and 214.1 mg/kg in honey; between 7.8 and 204.0 mg/kg in pekmez (grape molasses); between 5.9 and 22.4 mg/kg in strawberry jam; between 6.0 and 65.4 mg/kg in apricot jam; and between 9.2 and 55.9 mg/kg in cherry found by HPLC. The linear calibration plot of HMF was ranged from 0.05 to 10.0 mu g/ml. The correlation coefficient was found to be 0.99997. LOD and LOQ values were found to be 12.0 and 40.0 ng/ml, respectively. According to the experimental results, HMF amounts of four honey samples, three pekmez (grape molasses) samples, one apricot jam, and one cherry jam for investigated samples were found to be higher than the permission amount of Turkish Food Codex. Novelty impact statement Based on experimental results in this study, if the honey is in a transparent package such as a glass, it should be stored in a dark environment. It would be healthier to prefer molasses produced by reliable brands at low temperatures under vacuum instead of molasses made with traditional methods in open boilers. Generally, since jams with high HMF amount have an overcooked or even burnt flavor, this is an extremely negative situation for consumers

Comparative and competitive adsorption of gaseous toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene onto natural cellulose-modified Fe3O4 nanoparticles
Get PDFMany industrial processes produce volatile organic compound (VOC) pollutants within multicomponent systems. Therefore, exploring the comparative and competitive adsorption of VOCs is of both practical and scientific interest. This study elucidates the adsorption behavior of gaseous toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (TEX) targeted as VOCs onto natural cellulose-modified Fe3O4 (NC-Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs) both individually and in multicomponent systems for the first time in the literature. The characterization of NC-Fe3O4 synthesized via co precipitation method was carried out with analysis techniques including BET, SEM, EDS, FTIR, and TGA-DTA. The adsorption capacities of TEX as a single-component onto NC-Fe3O4 (for 20 mg L-1 TEX inlet concentration) were found as 477, 550, and 578 mg g(-1), respectively. In contrast, with TEX in a binary-component system, the adsorption capacity of the T (for 20 mg L-1 T with 10 mg L-1 E and 10 mg L-1 X, respectively) decreased by approximately 43% and 50% for the binary-mixtures of T-E and T-X, respectively, due to competition with E and X for adsorption sites. Similarly, the adsorption capacity of the E (for 20 mg L-1 E with 10 mg L-1 X) decreased by approximately 46% due to competition with the X for adsorption sites. With TEX in a ternary-component system, the adsorption capacity of the X remained consistent, indicating its competitive dominance over the E and T. The adsorption capacity of NC-Fe3O4 followed the order of X > E > T in the ternary-component system, which agrees with the adsorption results for the single-component system. The adsorption mechanism of TEX was explained by fitting the adsorption data to diverse kinetic and isotherm models. The NC-Fe3O4 with a superior performance in terms of both reuse efficiency and adsorption capacity, could be used as a promising and renewable adsorbent for efficient treatment of VOC pollutants. The findings of the current study will contribute to a better understanding of the comparative and competitive adsorption behaviors among different VOC pollutants in relation to a given adsorbent
