Kaplan, Mahmut; Yüksel, Ferhat; Karaman, Kevser
In this study, deep fried gluten free chips were manufactured using sorghum flour at different concentrations (5, 20, 35 and 50 g/100 g) and in vitro glycemic index, total antioxidant capacity and some physicochemical characteristics (dry matter, ash, oil, protein and color) and overall acceptability of the samples were investigated. Protein, oil and total dietary fiber levels of the samples ranged between 5.39–8.28, 23.58–29.10 and 5.59–6.60 g/100 g, respectively and increase in sorghum flour level resulted in an increase in these studied quality parameters of the chips samples. Ferric reducing antioxidant activity and DPPH radical scavenging performance were affected positively by the addition of sorghum flour. Total starch hydrolysis index and estimated glycemic index values were affected by the sorghum flour addition negatively due to the increased total dietary fiber content of the chips samples. All chips samples enriched with sorghum flour showed similar overall acceptability and increased sorghum concentration decreased the preference scores slightly. All these results could be considered for the manufacturing of the gluten free deep fried sorghum based chips samples.

Seçer, İsmail; Ulaş, Sümeyye
In addition to the serious physical and medical effects on individuals, the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have short- and long-term psycho-social consequences, especially for young people. Nowadays, with psychological problems becoming more widely recognized in adolescents, it is possible that the fear and anxiety caused by the pandemic will trigger various anxiety disorders, OCD and similar negative outcomes. Considering that psychological qualities such as emotional reactivity and experiential avoidance observed in adolescents may increase the risk of such psycho-social disorders, in this study the relationship between fear of COVID-19 and OCD was investigated in a Turkish sample of 598 adolescents, and the mediating role of emotional reactivity, experiential avoidance and depression-anxiety in this relationship was examined. The data collection was performed online rather than in person because of the COVID-19 threat. A structural equation model was used to determine the direct and indirect predictive effects between variables in data analysis. The results of the study show that the effect of COVID-19 fear on OCD is mediated by emotional reactivity, experiential avoidance and depression-anxiety.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and determine the gynecological cancer awareness among women aged 20 and over and make recommendations according to the current situation. Method: The study is a quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. The population of the study was composed of a total of 60.290 women aged over 20 years living in the city center of Gumushane according to TURKSTAT data for 2017. The sample consisted of a total of 382 women determined at 95% confidence interval. Personal information form and Gynecological Cancer Awareness Scale were used to collect the data. Results: The mean age of the women was 39.07 ± 17.84. 48.6% of the participants had knowledge about gynecological cancers, and only 16.2% reached this information from healthcare personnel. It was determined that the women who were working, had an employed husband, had a high level of education, had a husband with high level of education, had no chronic disease, and had knowledge about gynecologic cancers were higher than the others. The awareness of the participants about gynecological cancer decreased as their ages, body mass index, the number of pregnancy and birth increased. The gynecological cancer awareness of the women increased with the increase in marriage age, the age of first sexual intercourse, and the age of first pregnancy. Conclusion: Early diagnosis of gynecological cancers with effective and common screening programs is very important in reducing mortality and morbidity rates. It is recommended to maintain healthy lifestyle behaviors, avoid risky behaviors, screen risky groups and ensure women’s awareness for primary prevention.

In the present paper, identification elliptic problem in a Hilbert space with Dirichlet and integral boundary conditions is discussed. Identification problem is reduced to auxiliary nonlocal boundary value problem with nonlocal integral condition. Operator approach is used to prove stability and coercive stability inequalities for solution of source identification elliptic problem in the case of a self-adjoint positive definite operator in a differential equation. As applications, four mixed boundary value problems for strongly elliptic multidimensional partial differential equation are investigated. Theorems on stability of solutions of these boundary value problems are established.

Superconducting specimens of Y3-xLuxBa5Cu8O18+δ (where x = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.5) ceramic were fabricated via the solid-state route (SSR). The structural and superconducting features of the specimens were analyzed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Measurements and calculations were carried out for electrical resistance (R-T) and DC magnetization (M-H). The onset critical transition temperature (Tconset) of the specimens dropped to lower temperatures with the addition of lutetium (Lu). The estimated critical current density (Jc) values of the specimens, depending on the magnetic field, were extracted from the DC magnetization data. The changes in average grain size and bulk critical current density were examined. Improvement was observed in the bulk critical current density with increasing levels of Lu/Y substitution.

Acet, Tuba; Kadıoğlu, Asım
SOS5 locus, encodes cell wall adhesion protein under salt stress conditions in plants, and it is required for normal cell expansion as well as for sustaining cell wall integrity and structure. However, it is still unknown how this gene locus-ABA cross-talk and interacts with the antioxidant mechanism under salt stress conditions. For this purpose, the study focused on mutant sos5-1 plant treated with ABA under NaCl stress and observed its growth and development as well as stomatal aperture, lipid peroxidation, proline, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and ABA contents, and some antioxidant enzyme activities. In addition, the expression levels of ABA related genes have been analysed by RT-PCR after stress application. According to findings, sos5-1 mutant plants treated with ABA under salt stress resulted in eliminated cellular damage compared to those which are solely exposed to salt stress; other observations include closing of stomata, decreased H2O2 content, increased amount of proline, and similarity with the wild type due to induced antioxidant enzyme activities. Besides, both ABA biosynthetic and inducible gene expressions of the mutant plant under salt stress were lower compared to the control, and catabolism gene expression was higher. As a result, SOS5 gene in synergy with ABA, scavenge the ROS by stimulating antioxidant system, leads to an increase in stress related gene expressions and thus contributes to salinity tolerance. This study is significant in the way that it shows how SOS5 gene locus, under salt stress conditions, interacts with antioxidant system in sustaining cell wall integrity.

Şahin, Rıdvan; Küçük, Gökçe Dilek
Linguistic neutrosophic number (LNN) is a specific form of neutrosophic number whose elements are expressed by linguistic terms. Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) operator is one of the basic collection operators in the modern knowledge fusion theory. Its most important feature is to consider the interrelationships among multiple input arguments. Multiple attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) with linguistic neutrosophic information is considered. First, we present some basic concepts, then we combine the MSM operator with linguistic neutrosophic environment and develop a sequence of linguistic neutrosophic MSM operators which are the linguistic neutrosophic Maclaurin symmetric mean (LNMSM) operator, the weighted linguistic neutrosophic Maclaurin symmetric mean (WLNMSM) operator, linguistic neutrosophic dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (LNDMSM) operator, and the weighted linguistic neutrosophic dual Maclaurin symmetric mean (WLNDMSM) operator. We look into some features of them such as monotonicity, boundedness, and idempotency and then discuss some special situations of these operators. A new idea based on the WLNMSM operator is proposed to solve an MAGDM problem where evaluation information is composed of LNNs. It is worth mentioning that the weight information of the decision-makers (DMs) and the attributes are completely unknown. In conclusion, a comparison analysis is performed with the existing methods. The developed method is based on both the WLNMSM operator which considers the interrelationships among any number of input arguments and LNNs which is a combination of the neutrosophic numbers, linguistic variables. At the same time, it also has the advantages of mentioned components. So, it enables preventing the loss or distortion of the original decision information in the decision-making process.

Ersoy, Hakan; Kaya, Ayberk; Angın, Zekaİ; DaĞ, Serhat
The purpose of this study is to investigate the slope stability problem that occurred in the Ulubey (NE Turkey) during the construction of a hospital building and to propose a reliable support design. The borehole applications, geophysical surveys, groundwater measurements, soil sampling and SPT were performed to establish the geotechnical model. Based on the site characterization investigations, three units were defined as sliding material, residual regolith and volcanic rocks. Strength parameters of the sliding and residual soil materials were obtained from the back analysis. The long-term performance of the double row-bore piles was proposed as support measures and was controlled using the limit equilibrium (LE) and finite element (FEM) analyses methods under a dynamic condition. The 2D-LE and 2D-FEM analysis results showed that the suggested support design is reliable for long-term stability. The locations of the critical shear surface determined by 2D methods were almost the same as those obtained from 3D-FEM method and the total displacement values obtained from the 3D-FEM model were smaller than those obtained from the 2D-FEM model. These results indicated that 2D and 3D stability analyses were sufficient to evaluate the stability of uncomplex slope geometry when a reliable design with simple solutions was required.

Partial Re (rare earth elements: Lu, Yb and Dy) substituted YBaCuO (123) superconductors synthesized by solid-state reaction (SSR) procedure have been investigated via x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, a.c. magnetic susceptibility, and d.c. magnetization, and calculations. The measurements of a.c. magnetic susceptibility have been carried out at constant a.c. field amplitude and constant frequency for the samples studied. The temperature dependence of intergranular critical current density (Jcm) has been estimated from the a.c. magnetic susceptibility data. The d.c. magnetization measurements were performed at the temperatures of 5 K, 20 K, and 77 K separately. The variation of critical current density (Jc) with magnetic field (μ0H) has been evaluated from the d.c. magnetization data by using upper and lower branch of the major hysteresis curve. Lu substituted Y0.5Lu0.5BCO (123) sample shows higher critical current density than Yb and Dy substituted samples at low-temperature (lower than 77 K) regions.

Vural, Alaaddin
Investigation on the behavior of elements in the soil is important both in exploration and environmental geochemistry studies. Rare earth elements (REEs) are the most useful among all trace elements. REE studies have shown that they have important applications in igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic petrology. This work aims to investigate the relationship of these elements with one another and the behavior of the major oxides and trace elements with REEs. Soil samples were obtained from the alteration site possibly related to mineralization and were analyzed for major oxides, trace elements, and REEs. The relationships between the major oxide–trace element/heavy metal and REE were investigated by statistical methods, such as descriptive statistics, correlation coefficient, and principle component analysis. According to the correlation coefficient matrix, light REEs (LREEs) showed weak to moderate negative correlation with MgO and MnO and moderately positive correlation with SiO2 and K2O. No association was detected between the heavy REEs (HREEs) and the main oxides, but a strong positive correlation with LREEs was observed. For the trace elements, LREE showed a weak positive correlation with Ba and Sn and moderate to strong positive correlation with As, Hf, Nb, Rb, Ta, Th, U, W, and Zr. They also displayed weak to moderate correlation with Sc, Co, Zn, Ni, and V. HREE showed weak to moderate positive correlation with Ni, Cs, Ga, Hf, Th, Zr, As, and LREE. Although REEs exhibited no direct correlation with Au and Ag, they showed a good correlation with some trace elements that are related to hydrothermally altered products. This study showed that REEs can also be used in exploration and environmental geochemistry studies by exploiting the relationship between REEs and other trace/heavy metal elements.

Numerous natural lentic systems of the world are under the threat of drying due to either natural or anthropogenic activities. Natural circumstances are basically due to climate change effects remarkably sensed within the past decades. However, human-induced activities in some cases dominate over natural events due to demand of water particularly for irrigation and domestic needs. This study investigates the changes that have occurred on the water surfaces of 3 significant water bodies located in the Konya Closed Basin of Turkey. Geographically inner Anatolia region of Turkey receives half of the annual average precipitation of the overall country; on the contrary, the region is known to be an important agricultural area. The majority of fertile arable land is spared to wet agriculture necessitating vast amounts of water. As expected, all the 3 water bodies have incredibly lost their water within years. In the multi-temporal analysis of the study area, Landsat 5 TM, 7 ETM+ and 8 OLI satellite images belonging to every 10-years interval between 1987 and 2017, and corresponding meteorological data were used. Water losses in the 3 ecosystems, one is a salt production lake, Tuz (Salt) Lake, the other is a Ramsar Site (Meke Maar), and the last one is an internationally recognized wetland (Akgol), are detected. Resultantly, it is observed that only Tuz Lake has been artificially fed in the last decade as its economic value is higher than the other two systems. Meke Maar and Akgol Wetland have high ecological value; however, their original functions vanished as they have almost lost their water. It is important to state that humans’ need of water is essential; but, unconscious utilization and wrong irrigation applications lead to water scarcity. On the other hand, climate change accelerates the reduction of water resources. Satellite data coupled with ground truth measurements are accepted as modern technological tools to detect short and long term temporal changes in the water surfaces of such vulnerable water systems especially for attracting the attention of decision-makers responsible of sustainable management of water resources.

İpek, Egemen
In this study, the additional economic cost of disability for households is calculated using a standard of living approach (SoL) for Turkey. Firstly, the Standard of Living (SoL) index is determined using principal components analysis through the Household Budget Survey data for the year 2014. The cost of disability is estimated using ordered logit method by dividing the index into three income groups such as low, middle and high. As a result of the analysis, it is estimated that households with disabilities need additional financial support of at least 9.1% of household income in order to reach the same standard of living as those without disabled individuals. In addition, two different levels of disability, which are working life disability and daily life disability, are considered in estimating the cost of disability. While the cost caused by individuals’ disabilities in working life is 14.6% of their household's income, the ratio is 9.1% for the individuals’ disabilities in daily life.

In Anatolia, the tubers of Dactylorhiza romana subsp. georgica orchid are consumed as food and frequently used in folk medicine to alleviate the symptoms of some disorders. However, these properties have not been scientifically studied until the present day. In this research, we aimed to identify phenolic profile of the orchid tubers and determine their several features and functions. Among these, there are the antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and the inhibitory effect against diabetes related enzymes (α-amylase and α-glucosidase). In this sense, total phenolic content (Folin–Cicalteu assay), total antioxidant capacity (Phosphomolybdate method), antioxidant (ABTS and DPPH assays) and enzyme inhibition effects of tuber extracts obtained with different solvents (chloroform, ethyl acetate, methanol, ethanol, or hexane) were determined by using spectrophotometric methods, and the phenolic profile was also analysed by HPLC. In addition, antimicrobial activity of the extracts against 3 g (+) and 3 g (−) bacteria and 2 forms of yeasts was determined by disc diffusion and micro dilution methods. Based on our findings, the total phenolic content and antioxidant properties of ethyl acetate extract were considerably higher than the others. The most abundant among the screened phenolic standards was found to be benzoic acid. The highest α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzyme inhibition was measured in methanol and chloroform extracts, respectively. The highest antibacterial (B. cereus) and anticandidal (C. tropicalis and C. albicans) activities were detected in the chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts, respectively. In short, it was clearly seen that the D. romana subsp. georgica tuber had a great potential for being used in food and drug industries as a source of bioactive compounds.

Yalvac, Sefa
This study aimed to validate the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) method by using relative and absolute Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) techniques. In this context, two land subsidence areas, one high (Mexico City) and one medium (Aguascalientes), were monitored between 2014 and 2018 by using Sentinel 1A satellite data. The monitoring was carried out with the Small Baseline Subset (SBAS) technique using 46 images for Mexico City and 18 images for Aguascalientes. Concordantly, the GNSS Continuously Operating Reference Station (CORS) data in the regions were analyzed with relative and Precise Point Positioning (PPP) GNSS analysis techniques. The time series obtained from three different analyses were compared and the results were evaluated in light of statistical criteria. According to the results, it is determined that the InSAR-SBAS technique can vary up to ± 20 mm from the displacement values obtained from GNSS due to various noise sources. Such deviations were limited to a few samples, and in general the differentiations were reasonable in the range of 7–8 mm. The difference between the deformation velocity estimation results obtained from the three different methods varied between 3 and 10 mm/year. In this context, these findings suggest that the InSAR-SBAS technique is an effective method for monitoring land deformation with the accuracy of sub-centimeter decided. In addition, PPP which has become an increasingly popular technique showed fast and reliable results in the range of 5–10 mm for InSAR verification. Moreover, with this study, most current results for Mexico City, which is the world’s fastest subsiding metropole, were achieved. In the central region of the city, the detected 300 mm/year of subsidence rate was updated as 370 mm/year. In addition, Aguascalientes was monitored by using the Sentinel 1A satellite mission for the first time in this study. The 60 mm/year subsidence rate obtained for Aguascalientes in previous studies was updated and it was estimated that there are zones where this rate reaches up to − 115 mm/year levels. In this regard, it was concluded that the deformation rate has increased for both regions since the previous monitoring studies.

Altun, Fatma; Şahin, Rıdvan; Güler, Coşkun
Probabilistic simplified neutrosophic set (PSNS) is an important tool to describe the vagueness existing in the real life. In this study, we define a PSNS and discuss some of theoretical set operations of PSNSs. Also we propose the concepts of module on PSNSs, as well as inner product and projection operator between two PSNSs. In relation to this new set, we introduce a probabilistic simplified neutrosophic number (PSNN). A PSNN has three components which is called probabilistic-valued truth membership degree, probabilistic-valued indeterminacy membership degree and probabilistic-valued falsity membership degree, respectively. We give some of algebraic operational rules, a score function and an accuracy function on PSNNs. Furthermore, we introduce two aggregation operators called the probabilistic simplified neutrosophic weighted arithmetic average operator and the probabilistic simplified weighted geometric average operator on PSNNs. Furthermore, we determine weights of criteria with a method that is based on fuzzy measure and develop a method based on preference function to determine weight of each decision maker. We present an extended PROMETHEE method based on PSNSs for group decision problems. Finally, as an application of this theory, we give a practice on a multi-criteria group decision making problem based on PSNNs by using extended PROMETHEE method to ensure stability of the proposed method.

Eroğlu, Hasan; Şahin, Ridvan
In this study, a new score and distance function which provides more accurate results than the studies in the literature and considers the decision maker’s cognition has been proposed. In order to show the effects of the new score function coefficients on neutrosophic numbers, a new representation named “4D Plot” has been proposed. VIKOR (Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija Kompromisno Resenje which means multicriteria optimization and compromise solution in Serbian) method, which is based on the creation of a conciliatory solution within the framework of alternatives and evaluation criteria, provides highly effective results in multiple criteria decision-making problems. Neutrosophic numbers play an active role in facilitating the decision-making process in many studies. In this context, extension of the classical VIKOR method is introduced in detail in this study. The framework of the extended neutrosophic VIKOR method has been established. The proposed method has been applied to the renewable energy alternative selection problem in Turkey and compared with different methods and different scenarios. It has been shown that the proposed method gives more effective and accurate results. Furthermore, the sensitivity and accuracy of the study are enhanced by a sensitivity analysis. We have extended the classical VIKOR method for SVN numbers with a newly generalized score function and a distance measure. As a novel and newly presentation named “The 4D Plot” has been developed and applied in this paper to SVN numbers for presenting the effect of the new score function. The renewable energy alternative selection was made in Turkey with the proposed method by the opinions of the experts and the ranking of the alternatives was obtained. A sensitivity analysis has been made to show the accuracy and validity of the study. With the proposed distance measure and score function, it is shown that more accurate results can be found in multiple criteria decision-making problems. The model will provide solutions for many soft computing problems such as engineering and economy by finding more effective and accurate results in the neutrosophic number space according to the preference of decision makers. As a future work, the presented functions and framework can be adapted to different MCDM problems.

Yurtkuran, Emre; Ünal, Rahmi
Plasma atomization technology is able to both melt and atomize a material which is fed into the converging plasma jets as a wire. Temperature and velocity distribution in a plasma jet obtained at the outer region of a plasma torch is very important to melt a solid wire and to disintegrate the liquid metal into fine spherical particles. In this study, a non-transferred arc plasma torch is designed and numerically solved for the determination of temperature and velocity distributions in the plasma jet. A high velocity nozzle attachment is assembled to plasma torches for increasing the jet velocity for atomization purposes. Results of numerical solutions with and without high velocity nozzle attachment are discussed and compared with experimental studies. It is found that high velocity nozzle attachment can be favourable in terms of the higher velocity and temperature distribution in the plasma jet at longer distances from the torch exit.

Araz, Onur
The tuned mass damper (TMD) is a widely used passive control device which is attached to a main system to suppress undesired vibration. In this paper, a non-traditional form of TMD system is investigated. Unlike the traditional TMD configuration, the considered TMD system has a linear viscous damper connecting the absorber mass directly to the ground instead of the main mass. There have been some studies on the optimization design of the non-traditional TMD (NT-TMD) for undamped main structures. Those studies have indicated that the NT-TMD provides better performance than the traditional TMD does. When there is a frequency shifting in the structural frequency or tuning frequency of TMD, to the best knowledge of the authors, there has been no study on the performance of the NT-TMD. The main idea of the study is to investigate the effect of frequency detuning on the control performance of the NT-TMD. The optimum parameters of the NT-TMD system and corresponding effectiveness are obtained for different mass ratios of the NT-TMD system. The numerical results indicate that the NT-TMD with high mass ratio provides better robustness to the changes in the target frequency ratio than the traditional TMD.

Sipahi, Ferkan; Gücer, Mehmet Ali; Saydam Eker, Çiğdem
Iron oxide mineralizations in the eastern part of the Pontides (NE Turkey) are hosted in the skarn environments which are the Pontide paleomagmatic arc. These mineralizations always occur in the contacts between granitoid and limestone. Magnetites are hosted in carbonate rocks and generally formed during garnet-magnetite-epidote-quartz phase. Magnetites have high Co (15.8–43.4 ppm for the Kopuz, 11–12.5 ppm for the Eğrikar, and 3.8–1266.7 ppm for the Karadağ) concentrations suggesting that the sulfide decreased from the early to the late phases in the iron skarn mineralization forming systems. The Co/Ni ratios in the magnetites (0.12 to 35.38 for Karadağ, 2.19 to 13.53 for the Kopuz, and 2.39 to 5.21 for the Eğrikar) show the hydrothermal effect on the magmatic source in iron skarns in the study area. Thus, variable Co/Ni ratios reflect interactions between the magma with the host rock during successive alteration stages. Magnetites in this study have Sc-Nb-Mg-Ti depletions and Ta enrichment. In this study, high Co, Ti, and V contents in magnetites suggest the high temperature (300–500 °C) and low ƒO2. The V contents of the magnetite in the Karadağ increase with the decreasing oxygen fugacity of fluid(s) forming magnetites, whereas the V contents of the magnetites in the Kopuz and Eğrikar decrease with increasing oxygen fugacity of fluid(s) forming magnetites. Element patterns and Ni/Cr ratio (< 1) of the magnetite are geochemically similar to those of magnetite in Fe-skarn deposits and partly magmatic accessory magnetite of I-type granites. As a result, the Co, Ni, V, and Ti elements of the magnetite have played an important role in the discriminating and interpreting of skarn mineralizations in the eastern Pontides and support a calcic skarn origin with studies of the mineralization geology.
