Plant Taxa Used in the Treatment of Diabetes in Van Province, Turkey
Despite
the richness of local flora and medicinal plant utilization, there is no any
report on documentation of antidiabetic botanicals used in Van province.
Therefore, the present study aimed to record accumulation of the traditional
antidiabetic medicinal plants of Van province in order to preserve the valuable
local medicines knowledge, which has been threatened by urbanization. Antidiabetic folk
medicines were determined via field surveys conducted in 1065 settlements
during the period of 2014-2017 through medicinal plants questionnaire
and structured face-to-face interviews (600 informants) with local people who
are well known in the province for their long practice in traditional medicine.
69 plant taxa (35 species with undocumented antidiabetic medicinal use in
scientific literature for Turkey) including five endemic and one rare to Turkey
belong to 16 families (principally Asteraceae and Lamiaceae) were recorded for
their traditional antidiabetic use. 52 different vernacular names were detected
which were mainly indicate morphological characteristics. Infusion prepared
from leaf and flower organs were found as the most common preparation method of
local medicines in the province. Use value analysis showed that Rheum ribes, Urtica dioica, Scutelleria orientalis
subsp. pichleri, Diplotenia
cachrydifolia, Teucrium polium, Rosa canina, Campanula glomerata subsp. hispida, Rumex scutatus, Helichrysum
plicatum subsp. plicatum and Tanacetum balsamita subsp. balsamita might serve promising
pharmaceutical agents for diabetes treatment

Task-Guided and Semantic-Aware Ranking for Academic Author-Paper Correlation Inference
We study the problem of author-paper correlation inference in big scholarly data, which is to effectively infer potential correlated works for researchers using historical records. Unlike supervised learning algorithms that predict relevance score of author-paper pair via time and memory consuming feature engineering, network embedding methods automatically learn nodes' representations that can be further used to infer author-paper correlation. However, most current models suffer from two limitations: (1) they produce general purpose embeddings that are independent of the specific task; (2) they are usually based on network structure but out of content semantic awareness. To address these drawbacks, we propose a task-guided and semantic-aware ranking model. First, the historical interactions among all correlated author-paper pairs are formulated as a pairwise ranking loss. Next, the paper's semantic embedding encoded by gated recurrent neural network, together with the author's latent feature is used to score each author-paper pair in ranking loss. Finally, a heterogeneous relations integrative learning module is designed to further augment the model. The evaluation results of extensive experiments on the well known AMiner dataset demonstrate that the proposed model reaches significant better performance, comparing to a number of baselines.We would like to thank Yuxiao Dong for suggestions.

Kajian Sastra Perjalanan dalam Hikayat Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ke Mekah Karya Abdullah Bin Abdul Kadir Munsyi
This research is aimed to identify and to reveal a hikayat as classic travel literature of Indonesia by the travel writing theory of Carl Thompson. To gain those purposes, this research used literary criticism and descriptive-analytic methods. The object of this study is Kisah Pelayaran Abdullah ke Mekah by Abdullah bin Abdul Kadir Munsyi (1854), focusing on the six elements of travel writing by Carl Thompson’s approach based on the hikayat. This study shows that the hikayat contains six elements of travel writing. Those are self, other, movement, space, encounter, and writing. Abdullah as a sailor puts himself in his hikayat as the main character by using “sahaya” and “aku” to articulate “self” in his hikayat. The “self” during travel met new and foreign things that the author had never seen before. He drew and expressed his point of view, feeling, and observation of all the encounters that he had met during sailing in to hikayat.Keywords: Carl Thompson, hikayat, travel writin
Dynamic augmentation of SCORM pre-authored course materials with adaptive links to supplementary resources
In a SCORM compliant courseware, content and the pedagogic approach to be taken are predefined by the course author. As a consequence, users are unable to learn according to their preferences, and implicitly they will all encounter the same learning experience. Recent attempts to personalise learning in SCORM often resulted in either modifying or substituting SCORM specification elements. Nonetheless, SCORM is a widely-used solution to interoperability problems. For this reason, this work focuses on supplementing SCORM rather than redefining it. This is accomplished by dynamically associating each pre-authored learning material in a SCORM package with adaptive links to relevant supplementary resources upon delivery. As a result, we have developed a Personalised Link Service (PLS) to deliver these links into user’s SCORM-compliant learning environment. In this paper, we present the design of a PLS authoring architecture which enables the automatic generation of a concept map from a SCORM package and consequently links to alternative learning resources, and a PLS run-time service oriented architecture which delivers these alternative resources, alongside the SCORM defined resources, according to a user model. We demonstrate the feasibility of our architecture by implementing a service to support a simple notion of a user model (Preferred Learning style)
Design and applications of electrochemical biosensors for the detection of plant extract-DNA interactions
Bitki özlerindeki bileşikler ve DNA arasındaki olası etkileşimin ve hatta DNA hasarının doğrudan tespiti için bu projede kullanılıp atılabilir özelliklere sahip (tek kullanımlık) elektrokimyasal DNA biyosensörü geliştirildi. Projede buzağı timus bezi çift sarmallı DNA (dsDNA) ve sentetik prob/hedef DNA dizileriyle Sempervivum davisii Muirhead, Plantago anatolica Tutel & R. Mill. ve Verbascum cheiranthifolium Boiss. var. cheiranthifolium Boiss. bitki özlerinin etkileşimleri, kalem grafit elektrot (KGE) kullanılarak guanin ve ekstrakt oksidasyon sinyallerine dayanarak elektrokimyasal olarak diferansiyel puls voltametri (DPV) tekniğiyle incelenmiştir. Her üç bitki özünün de DNA ile etkileştiği saptanmıştır. Ekstrakt konsantrasyonu ve ektrakt-DNA etkileşim süresi gibi deneysel parametrelerdeki değişiklikler, hem guanin hem de bitki özü elektroaktivitesindeki yanıt farkları kullanılarak incelenmiştir. Elektrokimyasal yöntemlerin DNA ve DNA hedefli maddeler arasındaki etkileşimlere uygulanması araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, DNA hasarına neden olan bileşiklerin analizinde pratik uygulamalar için de ümit vericidir.In this Project, single use electrochemical DNA biosensors were developed for direct detection of possible interactions between DNA and compounds in plant extracts. The calf thymus double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and synthetic probe / target DNA sequences were interacted with plant extracts of Sempervivum davisii Muirhead, Plantago anatolica Tutel & R. Mill with. and Verbascum cheiranthifolium Boiss. var. Cheiranthifolium. The interactions of plant extracts were investigated by differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) technique based on guanine and extract oxidation signals by using pencil graphite electrode (KGE). All three plant extracts were found to interact with DNA. Changes in experimental parameters, such as extract concentration or time to extract-DNA interactions, were investigated using response differences in both guanine and plant extract electroactivity. Additionally, the application of electrochemical methods for the detection of interactions between DNA and DNA-targeted any kind of substances was investigated and discussed. The obtained results are also promising for practical applications in the analysis of compounds that cause DNA damage
