Halofuginone has a Beneficial Effect on Gentamicin-induced Acute Nephrotoxicity in Rats
No full textThe aim of this study was to investigate the putative beneficial effect of halofuginone on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were treated with gentamicin sulphate (GEN; 80 mg/kg) or saline intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 7 days. Halofuginone was administered (0.1 mg/kg/day; i.p.) following GEN or saline injections. Blood and urine samples were collected to measure the renal function tests. Kidneys were excised for histological evaluation and for the measurement of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, and chemiluminescence (CL). Halofuginone treatment to animals with GEN-induced renal injury caused a significant decrease in serum blood urea nitrogen level and reduced the elevated MDA, GSH content, and MPO activity. It was also effective in reversing the elevated CL values of rats with GEN-induced nephrotoxicity and preserving renal morphology, as examined microscopically. In conclusion, halofuginone was beneficial in GEN-induced acute nephrotoxicity. The mechanism could be attributed, at least in part, to decreased tissue leukocyte infiltration and reactive metabolite production
Turan and Ramsey numbers in linear triple systems II
No full textIn this paper we continue our studies of Turan and Ramsey numbers in linear triple systems, defined as 3-uniform hypergraphs in which any two triples intersect in at most one vertex. In [7] the two main problems left open were the Turan number of the wicket and the Ramsey property of the sail. In this paper we present some progress towards both of these problems.(c) 2022 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier B.V.

The Blockchain–Sustainability Nexus: Can This New Technology Enhance Social, Environmental and Economic Sustainability?
No full textWith the rise and fall of the prominence of Bitcoin, blockchain technology,
which provides public online ledgers used for the verification and recording of
transactions, has started to become the center of attention for diverse parties in the
global financial system. This chapter explores the nature of blockchain and discusses
how it may contribute to, or obstruct, sustainability. To this end, first, blockchain
technology is introduced. Next, a short discussion on sustainability is presented,
including how it is defined, measured, reported, and understood in theoretical
frameworks. After that, the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
are briefly explained. This is followed by a systematic literature review, which
highlights the scarcity of literature linking blockchain to sustainability. Finally, the
author offers her own reflections on the potential of blockchain to revolutionize the
financial services industry and weighs up the pros and cons vis-a-vis sustainable
development.2-s2.0-8514316679

Devlet sanatçılığı ünvanının ortaya çıkışı, kriterleri ve sanat dünyasında uyandırdığı fikir ayrılıklarını inceler. İnci Çayırlı’nın sanatçı bakış açısı ile verdiği bilgiler ele alınarak, Türk sanat müziğinin gelişimi ve değişimi üzerine genel bir değerlendirme yapar.This article covers the transformation of Turkish art music through developing technology and social changes, focusing on the events witnessed by State Artist (Devlet Sanatçısı) and Turkish art music artist Inci Çayırlı. It explores how the political and social changes that took place between 1940 and 2000 affected the process of reaching the audience of Turkish art music and how it faced the danger of losing its popularity as a result. It examines the emergence of the title "state artist" and its criteria while focusing on different points of view about this title. By taking into account the information given by Inci Çayırlı from the artist's point of view, this article makes a general assessment of the development and change of Turkish art music.by Ayşe Sıla Önde
Tokenization and NFTs: A Tokenized Income Sharing Model for Higher Education as a Potential Solution for Student Debt in the USA
No full textThis study focuses on how to tokenize educational assets and discusses how tokenization and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) can be operationalized and adopted to the higher education landscape to provide funds for students during their higher education studies. To that end, it builds upon the income-contingent loans and higher education funding literature to propose a system that captures the value of the student’s potential future income streams as a token to be offered to higher education stakeholders willing to invest in a young person’s future, make an impact toward the Sustainable Development Goals, or simply, to diversify their portfolios and hedge against market downturns. The Future Income Token “FIT” is conceptually devised through a literature review and builds on previous findings by the author. This interdisciplinary study fits into the blockchain, crowdfunding, and higher education finance literature. Given the increasing difficulty of mobilizing funds for higher education and, the almost universal, growing student loan default problem, it asks the question: What aspects of higher education tokenomics may give higher education stakeholders the incentive to contribute to a student’s education, that other forms of financing do not? Policy makers, practitioners, as well as theoreticians can benefit from the ideas and the findings of the study. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.2-s2.0-8516869933
Emerging Trends in the Post-Regulatory Environment: The Importance of Instilling Trust
No full textThe financial services industry is one of the most critical pillars of economic growth and sustainable development in any country. As such, the findings of the 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer, that measures trust in institutions with more than 33,000 respondents in 28 countries over the last 15 years, are highly alarming. Accordingly, the financial services industry is ranked among the lowest with a mere 51 % on a global basis. Despite this darkened outlook, areas exist that seem to be promising: Sustainability management, responsible innovation and the organized and systemic efforts to increase transparency, comparability, accountability and reliability. Although the recent crises in financial markets have led regulators to come to a general agreement that a mutual effort is needed to develop procedures for increased compliance standards, and increase the pace of harmonization in accounting and financial reporting standards, the industry is faced with an imminent challenge: The low levels of trust in financial services. In this chapter, the author discusses how to re-build trust and reputation of the industry.WOS:0004139390000252-s2.0-85064952167Book Citation Index- Social Sciences and HumanitiesArticle; Book ChapterOcakYÖK - 2016-1
