Regenerative potential and its variability in different topophysical zones of Kalanchoe daigremontiana leaves in in vitro culture conditions
Get PDFPlants of the genus Kalanchoe are the most frequently purchased potted plants because of their decorative qualities and easy cultivation. Modern commercial plants have unique shapes that are usually not genetically determined; hence, in vitro cultures are used to propagate such specimens. The efficiency of regeneration is significantly affected by the type of explant used when that explant was previously located on one of several parts of a complex plant organ. The study aimed to investigate the influence of the topophysical location of collected explants on the regeneration efficiency of adventitious shoots. Various regeneration pathways were observed in the in vitro micropropagation of Kalanchoe daigremontiana leaf fragments, i.e., direct and indirect organogenesis from the callus stage. The results show a dependent relationship between the location of the collected explant and its regenerative potential. The most remarkable regenerative capacity of K. daigremontiana was found in leaf blade fragments taken from the middle and proximal zones. In addition, the explants collected from the marginal zone of the leaf blade were notably more valuable than those from the part located near the midrib. The research results indicate that the growth and development of new seedlings propagated vegetatively with the in vitro method depends on their location on the mother plant.Plants of the genus Kalanchoe are the most frequently purchased potted plants because of their decorative qualities and easy cultivation.

Effects of molybdenum on growth and fruit quality of small fruit melon (Cucumis melo L.) cultivated under high-temperature stress
Get PDFRecurrent and prolonged heat waves during summer have significantly impacted the growth and quality of cultivated melons in China. Molybdenum (Mo), a trace element crucial for the plant’s photosynthesis process under normal planting conditions, is posited to not only improve plant stress tolerance but also enhance fruit quality and nutritional content. In this study, melon cv. ‘Japanese Sweet Treasure’ was used as the experimental material. Various concentrations of ammonium molybdate solution (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 mg·L–1) were foliar sprayed to examine their impact on the growth, photosynthetic characteristics, carbohydrate metabolism, and fruit quality of melons under high-temperature stress. The results indicated that plants sprayed with Mo exhibited enhanced plant parameters, including height, stem diameter, root volume, root activity, and physiological characteristics of melons under high-temperature stress, in comparison to the control (CK). The most significant improvements were observed in plants treated with 0.1 mg·L–1 Mo (T2). This treatment also showed higher improvement in melon net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr) and total chlorophyll relative to other treatments. It also significantly promotes carbohydrate metabolism in melon plant leaves under high-temperature stress, enhancing their antioxidant enzyme activity. Melon plants exhibit a respective increase in sucrose, soluble sugars, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase (POD) compared to the control. Melon sprayed with 0.1 mg·L–1 Mo showed significantly higher levels of vitamin C, soluble proteins, and soluble solids in fruits compared to other treatments, with a respective increase of 27.9% in individual fruit weight and 20.1% in per-plant yield compared to the CK. In conclusion, spraying 0.1 mg·L–1 Mo effectively mitigates damage caused by high-temperature stress during melon cultivation. It enhances the photosynthetic capacity of melon leaves, promotes carbohydrate metabolism in plant leaves, and thereby strengthens stress resistance. This comprehensive improvement leads to enhanced quality and yield of melon fruits.Recurrent and prolonged heat waves during summer have significantly impacted the growth and quality of cultivated melons in China.

Bu sayede hem günlük yaşamda kullanıma uygun, pratik ve küçük cihazlar üretilmektedir. Bu cihazlar ile hem veri takibi yapılmakta hemde cihazın verimliliği sayesinde kullanılan alanlarda da hızlı ve sürdürülebilir gelişmeler elde edilmektedir. Bu çalışmada nesnelerin internetinin giyilebilir teknolojide kullanılarak akıllı tabanlık tasarımı ve kullanımı yer almaktadır. Tabanlık ile rehabilitasyon ve yürüme sorunu yaşadıktan sonra iyileşme sürecine giren hastaların yürümeleri kolaylaşmaktadır. Tabanlıkta kullanılacak basınç sensörleri ile kullanıcının ayak tabanındaki basıncı ölçülmektedir. Tasarlamış olduğumuz kart ile tabanlığı kullanan kişiye sesli, görsel ve titreşimli geri bildirim sunulmaktadır. Geri bildirim ise sadece zemine olması gerekenden fazla basınç uygulandığında sağlanmaktadır. Böylece tabanlığı kullanan hasta zemine uyguladığı basınç değerinin ne oranda olduğunu tahmin edebilecek ve iyileşmesini kolaylaştırmak için bu geri bildirimlere göre hareketine devam edecektir. Yapılan çalışma ile hastaların iyileşme süreci hızlandırılmakta, veri kaydı sayesinde geriye dönük kontroller yapılmakta ve tedaviden sorumlu doktorun hakları da korunmaktadır.With the concept of the Internet of Things, new technological ideas related to the Internet and devices that make life easier in many areas without the need for human power are emerging. In this way, practical and small devices suitable for use in daily life are produced. With these devices, data is monitored and rapid and sustainable developments are achieved in the areas used thanks to the efficiency of the device. This study covers the design and use of smart insoles by using the internet of things in wearable technology. With the insoles, it is easier for the patients who are in the recovery process after experiencing rehabilitation and walking problems to walk. With the pressure sensors to be used in the insoles, the pressure on the sole of the user's foot is measured. Audible, visual and vibratory feedback is provided to the person using the insoles with the card we have designed. Feedback is provided only when more pressure is applied to the ground than it should be. Thus, the patient using the insoles will be able to estimate the amount of pressure applied to the floor and will continue to act according to these feedbacks to facilitate recovery. With the study, the recovery process of the patients is accelerated, retrospective controls are carried out thanks to the data recording, and the rights of the doctor responsible for the treatment are protected
Voice aspects in children with precocious puberty
No full textPurpose: In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the difference in voice acoustic parameters between girls with idiopathic central precocious puberty (ICPP) and those who developed normally during prepuberty. Materials and methods: Our study recruited 54 girls diagnosed with ICPP and randomly sampled 51 healthy prepubertal girls as the control. Tanner stages, circulating hormone levels and bone ages of the girls with ICPP and the age and body mass index (BMI) of all participants were recorded. Acoustic analyses were performed using PRAAT computer-based voice analysis software and the mean pitch (F0), jitter, shimmer, noise-to harmonic-ratio (NHR) and harmonic-to-noise ratio (HNR) values were compared in the patient and control groups. Results: The two groups did not significantly differ in age or BMI. In the evaluation of the F0 and jitter values, we were found to be lower in the control group than in the patient group. However, we did not find a statistical significance. The mean shimmer values of the patient group were significantly higher than those of the control group. In addition, a statistically significant difference was noted for the mean HNR and NHR values (P < 0.001). A moderate negative correlation was found between shimmer and hormone levels in the patient group. Conclusions: Voice acoustic parameters one of the defining features of girls with ICPP. Voice changes in acoustic parameters could reflect hormonal changes during puberty. Clinicians should suspect ICPP when there is a change in the voice
Evaluation of hepatosteatosis and gallstone disease in patients with chronic kidney disease
No full textIntroduction: The prevalence rates of hepatosteatosis and gallstones are increasing owing to the multifactorial causes of chronic kidney disease, and the prevalence may change with the availability of different forms of renal replacement therapy. We aimed to determine the incidence or prevalence rates of hepatosteatosis, cholelithiasis, and acute cholecystitis in patients with chronic kidney disease and compare them between renal replacement therapy modalities. Methods: A total of 270 patients (90 with chronic kidney disease stages III-V, 90 undergoing peritoneal dialysis, and 90 undergoing hemodialysis) were included and categorized into the pre-dialysis, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis groups. The patients were questioned about previous gallbladder surgeries and chronic diseases. The results of abdominal ultrasonography, tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging were retrospectively evaluated with respect to the findings on the hepatobiliary system. Hepatosteatosis and cholelithiasis were diagnosed by expert radiologists on the basis of abdominal ultrasonography, tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging findings. The prevalence rates of hepatosteatosis, cholelithiasis, and other liver findings were compared between the groups. Findings: Hepatosteatosis and cholelithiasis were detected in 16.7% and 21.5% of the 270 cases, respectively. Hepatosteatosis was present in 17.8%, 25.6%, and 6.7% of patients in the pre-dialysis, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis groups, respectively. The prevalence of hepatosteatosis was significantly higher in patients undergoing hemodialysis than in patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis (p = 0.002). However, no statistically significant difference was found between the peritoneal dialysis and pre-dialysis groups or between the hemodialysis and pre-dialysis groups (p >0.05). The prevalence rates of cholelithiasis were 15.6%, 28.9%, and 20.0%, in the pre-dialysis, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis groups, respectively, and there were no statistically significant differences among the groups. The incidence of acute cholecystitis was significantly higher in the hemodialysis group than in the pre-dialysis group (p = 0.006). Discussion: Our study showed that the hepatobiliary system is frequently affected in chronic kidney disease and that the findings may differ depending on the renal replacement therapy modality
Explanation examples of Elazığ region
No full textSosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, Türk Müziği Ana Bilim DalıElazığ'a ait türkü ve deyişler yüz yıllardır var olan âşıklık geleneği ile süreklilik arz etmektedir. Özellikle Şeyh Ahmed Dede ocağından olan Teslim Abdal ile başlayan âşıklık geleneği, yine bu ocağın etrafında gelişmiştir. Teslim Abdal, Derviş Ali, Derviş Muhammed, Kul Mustafa, Nimri Dede, Kul Mansur (Mansur Çiftçi), Ahmet Fethi Erdoğan, Hüseyin Altun (Yaşar Dede), Miktat Güler ve Sezai Pehlivan (Pir Perişah) gibi dedeler âşıklık geleneğini günümüze kadar getirmişlerdir. Elazığ'ın Baskil ve Keban bölgelerinde rastlanan âşıklık geleneği, Elâzığ'ın merkez köylerinde de Alevi-Bektaşi âşıkların olduğu görülmektedir. Araştırma sürecince, Ahmet Fethi Erdoğan, Hüseyin Altun (Yaşar Dede), Miktat Güler, Kul Mansur (Mansur Çiftçi), Pir Perişah (Sezai Pehlivan) ile yaptığımız mülakatlar ile hayat hikâyelerine dair bilgiler alınmış ve deyişlerinden örnekler dinlenmiş ve kayıt altına alınmıştır. Buna göre; Ahmet Fethi Erdoğan Dede, Hüseyin Altun (Yaşar Dede), Miktat Güler Dede ile yüz yüze görüşmeler sağlanmış, Pir Perişah Dede ile Almanya da yaşadığı için çevrimiçi görüntülü görüşme, cemlerde zakirlik görevini çoğunlukla üstlenen Mansur Çiftçi (Kul Mansur) ile de telefon görüşmesi yapılmıştır. Harput musikisine ve bu yörede kullanılan çalgılara hakkında da tezde bilgiler verilmiştir. Ayrıca araştırma esnasında kentin müzik kültürünün çevre iller ile etkileşim hallinde olup olmadığı, benzeyen veya farklılık içeren yönlerine ait bilgiler hakkında çok sayıda literatürden istifade edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte deyişlerin bir kısmı internet ortamında dinlenmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda; Alevi-Bektaşi inancı çerçevesinde Elazığ'da deyişlerin muhteva açısından farklılık göstermediğini, fakat deyişlerin okunurken yöresel farklılıklar içerdiğini söylemek mümkündür. Kelimeler: Elazığ, Müzik Kültürü, Yöre, Müzik PratikleriThe folk songs and sayings of Elazığ have been maintained through the âşıklık (minstrelsy) tradition, which has existed for centuries. This tradition, notably initiated by Teslim Abdal from the Sheik Ahmed Dede lineage, has continued to develop around this lineage. Prominent figures such as Teslim Abdal, Derviş Ali, Derviş Muhammed, Kul Mustafa, Nimri Dede, Kul Mansur (Mansur Çiftçi), Ahmet Fethi Erdoğan, Hüseyin Altun (Yaşar Dede), Miktat Güler, and Sezai Pehlivan (Pir Perişah) have preserved the âşıklık tradition to the present day. The âşıklık tradition, observed in the Baskil and Keban regions of Elazığ, is also found in the central villages of Elazığ, where Alevi-Bektashi minstrels are present. During the research process, interviews were conducted with Ahmet Fethi Erdoğan, Hüseyin Altun (Yaşar Dede), Miktat Güler, Kul Mansur (Mansur Çiftçi), and Pir Perişah (Sezai Pehlivan) to gather information about their life stories and listen to and record examples of their sayings. Face-to-face interviews were held with Ahmet Fethi Erdoğan, Hüseyin Altun (Yaşar Dede), and Miktat Güler, while an online video interview was conducted with Pir Perişah (Sezai Pehlivan) due to his residence in Germany. Additionally, a telephone interview was conducted with Mansur Çiftçi (Kul Mansur), who often serves as a zakir in religious gatherings. The thesis also provides information on Harput music and the instruments used in the region. Numerous literary sources were utilized to examine whether the musical culture of the city interacts with neighboring provinces and to identify similar or differing aspects. Some of the sayings were also listened to online. The research concludes that, within the framework of Alevi-Bektashi beliefs, the content of sayings in Elazığ does not differ significantly, although there are regional variations in their performance.

Bahrî Memlûkleri dönemi Bîre/ Birecik (1250-1382)
No full textFırat Nehri üzerinde yer alan Bîre şehri, ilkçağlardan itibaren jeo-stratejik öneme haiz bir yer olmuştur. Sahip olduğu bu özelliğiyle ilkçağlardan itibaren Hitit, Asur, Pers, Makedonya, Roma, Doğu Roma (Bizans), Emevî, Abbasi, Büyük Selçuklu Devleti, Artuklu, Eyyûbî ve Memlûk Türk Devleti'nin hâkimiyet alanlarına dâhil olmuştur. Memlûk Türk Devleti'nin kuruluşu ile birlikte Bîre, Suriye coğrafyasına hâkim olma noktasında pek çok girişimin ve bunun yanında çatışmaların yaşandığı bir yer haline gelmiştir. Özellikle Moğolların batı seferleri ile başlayan orta doğu coğrafyasına akınları bu hâkimiyet mücadelesinde Bîre'yi daha da önemli bir hale getirmiştir. Bunun nedeni, Suriye ve Mısır'a ulaşmanın ve hâkimiyet icra ederken gelen saldırılara karşı bir güvenlik koridoru oluşturabilmenin Fırat Nehri üzerinde konumlanan geçiş noktalarının elde tutulmak istenmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda Bîre, Memlûk teşkilatlanmasına dâhil edilerek devletin kuzey sınırından gelecek olan saldırılara karşı bir gözlem noktası ve Anadolu'ya yapılacak seferlerde askeri bir üs haline getirilmiştir. Bîre, Memlûk Türk Devleti'nin merkezi olan Kahire'ye uzaklığı göz önünde bulundurulsa da Anadolu tarafında ilk savunma noktası olması bakımından oldukça önem verilen bir yer olmuştur.The city of Bîre, located on the Euphrates River, has been a place of geo-strategic importance since ancient times. With this feature, it has been included in the domination areas of the Hittite, Assyrian, Persian, Macedonian, Roman, Eastern Roman (Byzantine), Umayyad, Abbasid, Great Seljuk State, Artuqid, Ayyubid and Mamluk Turkish States since ancient times. With the establishment of the Mamluk Turkish State, Bîre became a place where many attempts and conflicts took place to dominate the Syrian geography. Especially the incursions of the Mongols into the Middle East geography, which started with the Western campaigns, made Bîre even more important in this struggle for dominance. The reason for this is that they want to hold the crossing points located on the Euphrates River in order to reach Syria and Egypt and create a security corridor against incoming attacks while exercising dominance. In this context, Bîre was included in the Mamluk organization and became an observation point against attacks from the northern border of the state and at the same time a military base for expeditions to Anatolia. Although Bîre is considered to be far from Cairo, the center of the Mamluk Turkish State, it was a place of great importance as it was the first defense point
Acute pancreatitis in Turkey: Results of a nationwide multicenter study
No full textBackground: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is the most common gastrointestinal disease requiring hospitalization, with significant mortality and morbidity. We aimed to evaluate the clinical characteristics of AP and physicians ' compliance with international guidelines during its management. Methods: All patients with AP who were hospitalized at 17 tertiary centers in Turkey between April and October 2022 were evaluated in a prospective cohort study. Patients with insufficient data, COVID-19 and those aged below 18 years were excluded. The definitions were based on the 2012 revised Atlanta criteria. Results: The study included 2144 patients (median age:58, 52 % female). The most common etiologies were biliary (n = 1438, 67.1 %), idiopathic (n = 259, 12 %), hypertriglyceridemia (n = 128, 6 %) and alcohol (n = 90, 4.2 %). Disease severity was mild in 1567 (73.1 %), moderate in 521 (24.3 %), and severe in 58 (2.6 %) patients. Morphology was necrotizing in 4.7 % of the patients. The overall mortality rate was 1.6 %. PASS and BISAP had the highest accuracy in predicting severe pancreatitis on admission (AUC:0.85 and 0.81, respectively). CT was performed in 61 % of the patients, with the majority (90 %) being within 72 h after admission. Prophylactic NSAIDs were not administered in 44 % of the patients with post-ERCP pancreatitis (n = 86). Antibiotics were administered to 53.7 % of the patients, and 38 % of those received them prophylactically. Conclusions: This prospective study provides an extensive report on clinical characteristics, management and outcomes of AP in real -world practice. Mortality remains high in severe cases and physicians ' adherence to guidelines during management of the disease needs improvement in some aspects. (c) 2023 IAP and EPC. Published by Elsevier B.V.

A mixed method research on increasing digital parenting awareness of parents
No full textAs children spend more time in the digital world, numerous researchers have studied access to and use of the internet. They pointed out the positive and negative consequences of that. However, despite the importance of children's conscious use of the internet and parental guidance, the awareness and needs of parents in this area have not been discovered. In order to provide a correct and healthy counselling service, it is useful for the person providing it to be aware of the need for the service to be offered and then to examine his or her self-efficacy in this area. To address the gap in the relevant literature, in this embedded mixed-methods study, we first interviewed parents (n = 40) to explore their digital parenting and identify their needs. We then developed a digital parenting training program to address these needs and sought to raise parents' awareness. We tested the effect of the program we developed using the experimental design pretest-posttest-follow-up-tested control group. We used the risk protection subdimension of the Digital Parenting Awareness Scale as a data collection tool. At the end of the training, we found that parents in the experimental group (n = 14) showed a significant increase in protection from risks in digital parenting. In a follow-up measurement three months after the end of the training program, we found that the scores of parents in the experimental group had not changed significantly in terms of protection against digital risks, i.e., this change persisted. As part of the findings, we made professionals who provide family education and counseling aware of the digital parent training program and suggested that they use the program we developed in the family trainings they organize.Inonu University Scientific Research Projects Unit [SBA-2020-1708]This research is supported by Inonu University Scientific Research Projects Unit (Project Code: SBA-2020-1708)
