Determination of heavy metals in Azap Lake's sediment and water
No full textYaşamımızın en önemli sorunlarının başında çevre kirliliği gelmektedir. Çevre kirliliği ekosistemlerimizi büyük ölçüde tehdit etmektedir. Hızlı kentleşme ve sanayileşmenin neden olduğu çevre kirliliği sucul ortamları olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Son dönemlerde sucul ortamlarda çevre kirliliği çalışmaları hızlı bir şekilde artmıştır. Bu çalışmada Aydın ilinin Söke ilçesinde bulunan Azap Gölünün su kalitesinin belirlenmesinde kullanılan bazı parametreler ve su kirliliğine neden olabilecek bazı faktörler incelenmiştir. Azap gölünün çeşitli özellikleri dikkate alınarak beş farklı istasyon belirlenmiştir. Her bir istasyonda iki aylık periyotlar halinde eylül 2013 - mayıs 2014 tarihleri arasında 5 kez su ve sediment örnekleri alınmıştır. Alınan sediment örneklerinde ağır metal (Fe, Al, Mn, Cr, Co, Cd, Cu, Ni, Ba, Pb, Zn, B) analizi; su örneklerinde ise pH, sıcaklık, iletkenlik, toplam sertlik, alkanite ve ağır metal (Fe, Al, Mn, Cr, Co, Cd, Cu, Ni, Ba, Pb, Zn, B) analizi yapılmıştır. Ağır metal analizleri ICP-OES cihazı ile pH, sıcaklık ve iletkenlik tayinleri ph metre ile, toplam sertlik ve alkalinite tayinleri ise titrimetrik yöntem ile yapılmıştır. Su ve sediment örneklerindeki ağır metal derişimlerine bakıldığında Fe, B ve Al diğer ağır metallere göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Su örneklerinde genel olarak Cr, Co, Cd ve Pb; sediment örneklerinde ise Pb tayin edilememiştir.
The most significant problem in our life is environmental pollution. It is the most probably threating in our ecosystems.Environmetal problem which can lead to ill urbanization and industrialization affects negatively in hydrophilous stage. Recently, scientific research continues quickly in hydrophilus stage. For this study, it has examined some factors to cause water pollution and using parameter to be identified the quality of water in a lake of Azap in Aydın-Söke. In the different time interval, it has determined variable features in lake of azap in different 5 stations.It has taken five times water and sediment between September 2013- May 2014 two months periods in every station. Taking sediment examples have done heavy metal analysis (Fe, Al, Mn, Cr, Co, Cd, Cu, Ni, Ba, Pb, Zn, B). As to water examples have done Ph, temperature, conductivity, total hardness, alkanite, and heavy metal (Fe, Al, Mn, Cr, Co, Cd, Cu, Ni, Ba, Pb, Zn, B)Heavy metal analyses were analysed with ICP-OES test device. Ph, temperature and conductivity were investigated with Ph meter.Other analysis which are total hardness and alkanite were tested with titrimetric method. When heavy metal molalities are looked in the water and sediment examples, Fe, B and Al are detected higher than other heavy metals.Generally, Cr, Co, Cd and Pb are not analysed in water examples. As for that sediment example; Pb is not analysed

zenginliğiyle birçok bitki ve hayvan çeşidi bulunan Türkiye, doğal hayat bakımından
büyük ve eşsiz bir potansiyele sahiptir. Bu potansiyel son dönemlerde ekoturizmin
varlığını ve etkinliğini gündeme getirmiştir. Kuş Gözlemciliği (Ornitoturizm), doğayı
ve çevreyi seven birçok insan tarafından tercih edilmesi, ucuz ve ulaşılabilir olması,
doğa bilincinin oluşmasında önemli katkılar sağlaması açısından doğa turizminin
önemli kolları arasındadır. Türkiye'de ekoturizm bağlamında birçok etkinlik ve
aktivite yer almaktadır. Bunlar içerisinde bulunan bir aktivite olan kuş gözlemciliği
önem arz eden bir aktivite olarak değerlendirilmektedir. Ekoturizm aktivitesi olan
kuş gözlemciliği hobi olarak değerlendirilen özel ilgi turizmi çeşididir. Önemli bir
rekreasyon faaliyeti olan kuş gözlemciliği doğayı kuşların dünyasından bakmayı
amaçlayan gözlem sporudur. Ayrıca rekreatif bir aktivite olan kuş gözlem sporu
kuşların tabii hayat ortamlarında çıplak gözle teleskop, dürbün vb. gibi cihazlarla
seslerin dinlenmesiyle gözlem yapılabilmesi olarak tanımlanır.
Bu çalışmanın asıl amacı; turizm bağlamında kuş gözlemciliğinin ekoturizm

structure and cultural richness, as well as many plant and animal species, has a great
and unique potential in terms of natural life. This potential has recently brought the
existence and effectiveness of ecotourism to the agenda. Bird Watching
(Ornithotourism) is among the important branches of nature tourism in terms of
being preferred by many people who love nature and the environment, being cheap
and accessible, and making significant contributions to the formation of nature
awareness. There are many events and activities in the context of ecotourism in
Turkey. Bird watching, one of these activities, is considered an important activity.
Bird watching, an ecotourism activity, is a type of special interest tourism that is
considered as a hobby. Bird watching, an important recreational activity, is an
observation sport that aims to look at nature from the world of birds. In addition, bird
watching, which is a recreational activity, is the sport of observing birds in their
natural habitats with the naked eye, using telescopes, binoculars, etc. It is defined as
the ability to make observations by listening to sounds with devices such as.
The main purpose of this study is; It is aimed to evaluate bird watching in
terms of ecotourism in the context of tourism and to investigate the bird watching
potential of Azap Lake in the Aydın-Söke region. In the research, a literature review
and field trip were conducted, local people were interviewed, EKODOSD officials,
biodiversity coordinator and nature photographers were interviewed. During the
meeting, "Bird observation potential in the context of ecotourism and future tourism
expectations and activities of Azap Lake" were evaluated. The data obtained was
analyzed and the study was given its final form. The method of the research was
qualitative research and the interview technique was used as a data collection tool.
v
As a result of the research, it was also stated in the context of sustainable tourism that
tourism activities will increase further, as Azap Lake was registered as a "Wetland of
National Importance" in 2019. It has been stated that bird watching tourism will gain
vitality with the adequate promotion of the region and the opening of observation
towers
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
Author, publisher and bookseller : a tripartite synergy in Nigerian book industry
No full textThis work is about the roles of Author, Publisher and Bookseller in Book development in
Nigeria. The paper started by delving into the history of Book Publishing in Nigeria after
which it proceeded by defining who an author, a publisher, and a bookseller is and
expatiated on the indispensable roles of these key actors in Nigerian Book Industry and in
the emerging Information Society. Furthermore, the various constraints to book
development were identified while the paper advised on how the Book Industry can be
further promoted in Nigeria. However, the paper concluded and made recommendations
on how the Book sector can help in enhancing scholarship in the country
The Thursday Murder Club: Launching a megabrand author - a publishing case study
No full textIn 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author
Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
