    Simultaneous separation and preconcentration of Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions in environmental samples by carrier element-free coprecipitation method prior to their flame atomic absorption spectrometric determination

    Duran, Celal; Ozdes, Duygu; Akcay, Hakki Turker; Serencam, Huseyin; Tufekci, Mehmet

    ABSTRACT: In the present study, Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions were separated and preconcentrated via carrier element-free coprecipitation (CEFC) method by using an organic coprecipitating agent, 1,2-bis-(2-tosyl ethoxy) benzene (BTEB), prior to their flame atomic absorption spectrometric (FAAS) detections. The experimental conditions were optimized in terms of pH of the aqueous solution, BTEB amount, standing time, centrifugation rate and time, and sample volume. Under the optimum experimental conditions, the detection limits for Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions were found to be 0.13, 0.67, and 0.46 μg L−1, respectively, and the relative standard deviations for the analyte ions were found to be lower than 4.0%. The accuracy of the method was tested by analyzing certified reference material and spike tests. The method was applied to determine the levels of Cd(II), Co(II), and Ni(II) ions in sea and stream water, macaroni, red lentil, and cracked wheat samples.

    Determination to Results of Forest Management Planning Applications with Land Use Changes from 1971 to 2008 in Yalova-Turkey

    Çakir, Günay; Özdemir, Mehmet

    The forest conservation organizations in Turkey have recommended changing the classical forest management systems to protect forest biodiversity since 2006. This study discusses the spatio-temporal analysis of forest management activities and land use changes in Yalova Forest Ecosystems, Turkey. We focused on the Yalova City because (a) it is located in a highly urbanized area, northwestern Turkey, (b) forest is a governmental ownership and producing of many non-wood forest product and wildlife species, (c) governmental organizations are encouraged to be decreased clear-cuts to protect forest ecosystems; (d) GIS databases are available in Yalova; (e) Yalova Forestry Administration has a membership of the Mediterranean Model Forest Network in 2011, and (f) many new forest policies will be developed in Turkey after the membership of the model forest. This study used forest management plans of Yalova Forest during 1971–2008 periods and analyzed data in geographic information system (GIS). Results showed that the rate of forest area in the Yalova steadily increased from 53.4 % in 1971 to 61.2 % to 62.5 % between 1994 and 2008 respectively.

    The effects of the CSR isomorphism on both CSP and CFP

    Ilhan-Nas, Tülay; Koparan, Emrah; Okan, Tarhan

    Purpose – The purpose of this study is to contribute to the understanding of the interrelationships between corporate social responsibility (CSR) isomorphism of headquarters (HQs) and their subsidiaries as well as corporate social performance (CSP) and corporate financial performance (CFP) at the subsidiary level. Design/methodology/approach – This study tested these relationships through canonical correlation analyses. The data used were drawn from corporate HQ and 63 subsidiaries, which were publicly listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange in 2007. Both qualitative and quantitative techniques were used in the study. Findings – The results generally indicated that the isomorphism between the CSR practices of the HQ and those of their subsidiaries could impact both the CSP, especially the product and employee dimensions, and the CFP. No relationship was found to exist between the CSP and CFP. Originality/value – Despite extensive interest by scholars and practitioners in the subject area, relatively little is known about the management of CSR by the multinational enterprises (MNEs) (Meyer, 2004), as the literature does not systematically examine the effects that occur on employee performance following the diffusion of CSR among the MNEs subsidiaries. Extending earlier literature on CSR, by integrating the effect of the CFP, the present study focuses on the effects of isomorphism between the CSR practices of the MNEs and those of their subsidiaries on both CSP and CFP. Further, the study examined the interrelation of CSP and CFP from the perspective of international management. Given the increased interest in corporate governance matters at the international level, CSR plays a central and fundamentally important role in the corporate governance of the MNEs because of both globalization forces and the pressures exerted by stakeholders. In this context, this paper is one of the first to explore the transfer of CSR practices from the MNEs to their subsidiaries. The effect of CSR on performance is an important research question, especially for emerging markets (Ibrahim and Angelidis, 1995; Waddock and Graves, 1997; Ghazali, 2007; Johnson and Greening, 1999). Despite the importance of this issue, however, until recently, only a limited discussion has been evident in the literature on CSR in the international arena with particular reference given to the emerging economies. Studying the effects of the CSR isomorphism on the performance in Turkish context is justified in three ways. First, Turkey is the largest emerging economy in Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Middle East (Tatoglu et al., 2003, p. 7). It presents the emerging nature of the market and the transitional characteristics of the institutional environment (Cavusgil et al., 2002). Second, the drivers for CSR in Turkey, such as the other emerging markets whose institutional characteristics and economic fundamentals is similar, are exogenous and institutional rather than endogenous factors (Ararat and Gocenoglu, 2006, p. 11). Excluding the philanthropic activities, the very first manifestations of CSR were observed in the business conduct of MNEs in Turkey (Ararat and Gocenoglu, 2006, p. 11). MNEs have a dominant and leader role in Turkey for CSR practices. Finally, the subsidiaries operating in Turkey are less likely to resist the transfer of the organizational policies and practices such as human resource management policies (Sayim, 2010, 2011) and organizational culture (Ilhan, 2008). In fact, they want to even transfer the policies and practices from MNEs (Sayim 2010, 2011; Ilhan, 2008). Therefore, Turkish context provides a good case to test the effects of the CSR isomorphism on the performance.

    Background: The emergence of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae poses a serious problem to antibiotic management. We investigated the beta-lactamases in a group of carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae clinical isolates from Turkey. Methods: Thirty-seven strains of K. pneumoniae isolated from various clinical specimens were analyzed by antimicrobial susceptibility testing, PCR for the detection of p-lactamase genes, DNA sequencing, and repetitive extragenic palindronic (REP)- FOR analysis. Results: All 37 isolates were resistant to ampicillin, ampicillin/sulbactam, piperacillin, piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftazidime, cefoperazone/sulbactam, cefepime, imipenem, and meropenem. The lowest resistance rates were observed for colistin (2.7%), tigecycline (11%), and amikacin (19%). According to FOR and sequencing results, 98% (36/37) of strains carried at least one carbapenemase gene, with 32 (86%) carrying OXA-48 and 7 (19%) carrying NDM-1. No other carbapenemase genes were identified. All strains carried a CTX-M-2-like beta-lactamase, and some carried SHV- (97%), TEM- (9%), and CTX-M-1-like (62%) beta-lactamases. Sequence analysis of bla(TEM) genes identified a bla(TEM-166) with an amino acid change at position 53 (Arg53Gly) from bla(TEM-1b), the first report of a mutation in this region. REP-FOR analysis revealed that there were seven different clonal groups, and temporo-spatial links were identified within these groups. Conclusions: Combinations of beta-lactamases were found in all strains, with the most common being OXA-48, SHV, TEM, and CTX-M-type (76% of strains). We have reported, for the first time, a high prevalence of the NDM-1 (19%) carbapenemase in carbapenem-resistant K. pneumoniae from Turkey. These enzymes often co-exist with other beta-lactamases, such as TEM, SHV, and CTX-M beta-lactamases.

    Karaçelik, Ayca Aktas; Küçük, Murat; Iskefiyeli, Zeynep; Aydemir, Sezgin; De Smet, Seppe; Miserez, Bram; Sandra, Patrick

    Antioxidant activity of the juice and seed and skin extracts prepared with methanol, acetonitrile, and water of Viburnum opulus L. grown in Eastern Black Sea Region were studied with an on-line HPLC-ABTS method and off-line antioxidant methods, among which a linear positive correlation was observed. The fruit extracts were analysed with the HPLC-UV method optimised with 14 standard phenolics. Identification of the phenolic components in the juice was made using an HPLC-UV-ESI-MS method. Nineteen phenolic compounds in juice were identified by comparing the retention times and mass spectra with those of the standards and the phenolics reported in the literature. The major peaks in the juice belonged to coumaroyl-quinic acid, chlorogenic acid, procyanidin B2, and procyanidin trimer. Quite different antioxidant composition profiles were obtained from the extracts with the solvents of different polarities. The antioxidant activities of the seed extracts were higher than those of the skin extracts in general. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Background: This study aims to evaluate the potential of ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) to predict the myocardial infarction in on pump coronary artery bypass grafting (ONCABG) patients. Methods: Fifty elective isolated ONCABG patients (41 males, 9 females; mean age 66 years; range 56 to 75 years) were included in the study. Patients were divided into perioperative myocardial infarction (PMI; n=8) and non-infarction (NPMI; n=42) groups according to perioperative cardiac troponin I (cTnI) values and ECG findings. Serum IMA levels were measured preoperatively, 20 minutes after aortic cross clamping, 30 minutes, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 hours after declamping. Results: Compared to the NPMI group, the declamping 30 minutes, 3, 6 and 12 hours IMA levels were higher in the PMI group (p=0.002, p=0.048, p=0.023, p=0.007, respectively). In both NPMI and PMI groups, the 20 minutes after aortic cross clamping IMA levels were higher compared to the preoperative IMA levels (p=0.0001, p=0.038, respectively). Conclusion: Our study results show that IMA may be an early marker of myocardial infarction in the ONCABG patients.

    Assessment of kinetics, thermodynamics, and equilibrium parameters of Cu(II) adsorption onto Rosa canina seeds

    Serencam, Huseyin; Ozdes, Duygu; Duran, Celal; Senturk, Hasan Basri

    Rosa canina seeds (RCS) is considered as a low-cost and promising adsorbent in removal of metal ions; hence, in the present study, we aimed to test the adsorptive removal of Cu(II) ions from aqueous solutions by utilizing RCS in a batch process. After characterization of RCS by using several techniques, the effects of various experimental parameters such as initial pH of aqueous solution, contact time, initial Cu(II) concentration, RCS concentration, temperature, and electrolyte concentration were studied upon the adsorption process. The desorption conditions of Cu(II) ions from the loaded RCS were also evaluated. Maximum Cu(II) adsorption was found to occur at pH 6.0 and the equilibrium was established after 60 min of contact time. The adsorption isotherms were described by means of Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, and Dubinin Radushkevich models. The adsorption kinetics were analyzed using pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich and intraparticle diffusion models and the adsorption data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. Thermodynamic parameters such as the Gibbs free energy (ΔG), enthalpy (ΔH), and entropy (ΔS) changes were also evaluated and it has been found that the adsorption process was feasible, spontaneous, and endothermic in the temperature range of 278-313 K.

    Assessment of liquefaction potential of Erzincan Province and its vicinity, Turkey

    Subası Duman, E.; Ikizler, S.B.

    One of the most important causes of damages after the earthquakes is the soil liquefaction. Liquefaction can be defined as temporary loss in strength of saturated sandy and silty deposits under transient and cyclic loadings due to excess pore water pressure. This study includes determination of liquefaction potential in Erzincan city center and its vicinity. Due to the proximity of the North Anatolian Fault Zone, in a probable earthquake, Erzincan Province is thought to be affected. In this context, the earthquake scenarios were produced using the empirical expressions. Liquefaction potential for different earthquake magnitudes was determined. These earthquake magnitudes were selected as 6.0, 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, respectively. Liquefaction potential was investigated using standard penetration test (SPT) data. The first stage of the study, 63 boreholes in different locations was drilled and SPT was performed. Disturbed and undisturbed soil samples were taken from these boreholes. Laboratory testing was performed to determine physical properties of soil samples, and liquefaction potential analyses were examined using three methods, namely Seed and Idriss (J Soil Mech Found Div ASCE 97(9):1249-1273, 1971), Tokimatsu and Yoshimi (Soil Found 23(4):56-74, 1983), Iwasaki et al. (Soil liquefaction potential evaluation with use of the simplified procedure. International Conference on Recent Advances in Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering and Soil Dynamics, St. Louis, pp 209-214, 1981). In order to complete liquefaction analysis within a short time, MATLAB program was prepared. Liquefaction potential analyses were carried out with the MATLAB program. At the final stage of this study, liquefaction potential maps were prepared for different earthquake magnitudes. The expected results will be shared with the local authorities and important engineering remedial measurements will be proposed to prevent further life losses and to mitigate property losses.

    Suggestion of new formulations for schmidt hammer and UPV test methods for concrete

    Cavdar, A.; Bingöl, S.

    The concrete is the most widely used building material in Turkey. Especially reinforced concrete dominates at building sector. Because of concrete is an non-homogeneous and non-isotropic material, the strength of concrete cannot be accurately achieved at the site. To control the mechanical properties of concrete in the site, non- -destructive test methods can be used. They are useful for having no damage on concrete, however these test results sometimes gives deceptive results. In this study, two of non-destructive test methods, Schmidt hammer testing and ultrasonic pulse velocity methods were used for determining concrete compressive strength. 101 samples were poured concrete cube dimensions 150×150×150 mm3. On 28th days, firstly, the samples were applied Schmidt hammer test and ultrasonic pulse velocity test and then the compressive strength of these samples was measured by breaking in the press, destructive method. Thus, the new formulations are obtained for Schmidt hammer test and ultrasonic pulse velocity test.

    On the solutions of nonlinear fractional Klein-Gordon equation with modified Riemann-Liouville derivative

    Merdan, Mehmet

    In this paper, fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) is applied for finding approximate analytical solutions of nonlinear fractional Klein-Gordon equation. Time-fractional derivative is described in the Riemann-Liouville sense. A new application of fractional variational iteration method (FVIM) is extended to derive analytical solutions in the form of a series for this equation. The behavior of the solutions and the effects of different values of fractional order α are indicated graphically. It is shown that the solutions obtained by the FVIM are reliable, convenient and effective for strongly nonlinear partial equations with modified Riemann-Liouville derivative.

    Is the combined use of insulin resistance indices, Including adipokines, more reliable in metabolic syndrome?

    Kural, Birgül; Değer, Orhan; Erem, Cihangir; Balaban Yücesan, Fulya; Aliyazicioğlu, Rezzan; Barlak, Yaşam

    Background/aim: To determine the levels of adipokines (leptin, adiponectin, resistin, and visfatin) and the indices of insulin sensitivity/ resistance, and to examine the relationship among them in patients with metabolic syndrome (MetS).; Materials and methods: The study groups included 45 subjects with MetS (31 women/14 men), and 45 sex- and age-matched non-MetS healthy volunteers (31 women/14 men). The levels of adipokines were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.; Results: The levels of leptin and visfatin were significantly higher in the MetS than in the non-MetS subjects (P < 0.01). There was no difference in adiponectin levels in subjects with and without MetS (P = 0.052). Similarly, resistin did not show any statistically significant difference. A statistically significant positive correlation of leptin with insulin levels was observed, while negative correlations of visfatin levels with age, and resistin levels with the ratio of adiponectin to leptin, were found in the MetS (P < 0.05). The combination of adipokines, insulin resistance-sensitivity parameters, and MetS criteria parameters gave more signifcant differences than a single parameter.; Conclusion: Since the parameters mentioned above might affect, interact with, and/or interfere with each other, the combinations of these parameters might give more reliable results to evaluate the insulin resistance/sensitivity in MetS patients.

    The spring triticale cultivars Aysehanim and Mehmetbey (X Triticosecale Wittm.) were developed by Agricultural Research Station of The Eastern Mediterranean Transition Zone and they had been registered by Variety Registration and Seed Certification Center in Turkey. In this experiment, some characteristics of two new varieties were studied. The experiments were conducted at four locations of the Eastern Mediterranean Transition Zone in Turkey with three check triticale cultivars (Egeyildizi, Taceddinbey and Focus) under rain-fed conditions during the 2009 &#8211; 2010 and 2010 &#8211; 2011 growing seasons. The locations were Kahramanmaras, Adana and Hatay provinces and Ceyhan town. The genotypes were tested for agronomic, quality and botanical characteristics. Also, resistance of some cereal disease and lodging of the genotypes were determined. Aysehanim and Mehmetbey cv. had good adaptation and agronomic performance in the Eastern Mediterranean Transition Zone. The grain yields of Aysehanim and Mehmetbey cv. were 6459 and 6387 kg ha-1, respectively, and these values were significantly higher than the grain yields of Egeyildizi and Focus check cultivars, 5916 and 4919 kg ha-1, respectively. The cultivars had acceptable quality traits compared to the check cultivars. While their hectolitre weights and 1000 kernel weights were higher than the averages of check cultivars, protein content was not higher than those of the checks. Aysehanim and Mehmetbey cv. had good resistance for rust disease and lodging.

    The effect of different photoperiods and stocking densities on fattening performance, Carcass and some stress parameters in broilers

    Das, H.; Lacin, E.

    This study was carried out for the purpose of investigating the effects of different photoperiods and stocking densities on physiologic parameters such as body weight, feed consumption, feed efficiency, carcass traits and some stress parameters in broiler chickens. Throughout the experiment, 480 day-old male chickens obtained from a commercial hatchery were used. The chicks were placed in different partitions which had three different photoperiod (continuous lighting: 24 hour light, constant lighting: 16 hour light - 8 hour dark, intermittent lighting: 4 hour light – 2 hour dark) were applied. Each photoperiod group was formed with five replicates at two different stocking densities (normal stocking density: 12 broiler/m2, high stocking density: 20 broiler/m2). The experiment was carried for 42 days. At the end of the experiment, the effect of photoperiod and stocking density on live weight gain were significant (P<0.05) while photoperiod significantly affected the feed consumption only (P<0.05). The feed efficiency were insignificant (P>0.05) with respect to both factors. The photoperiod programs had significant effects on the relative weight of gizzard, blood, feather percentage values (P<0.05) and breast percentage values (P<0.01). The stocking density has a significant effect on relative heart weight (P<0.05) and entire thigh values (P<0.01). At the end of the experiment, it was ascertained that the photoperiod program and stocking density had no significant (P>0.05) difference on tonic immobility and tibial dyschondroplasia values. However, stocking density had a highly significant effect (P<0.01) on gait score values and on heterophil-lymphocyte rate values (P<0.01).
