Sipahi, F.; Kaygusuz, A.; Saydam Eker, Ç.; Vural, A.; Akpınar, İ.
The geochemical and Sr–Nd–Pb isotope properties, as well as the Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma and Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) U–Pb zircon age, of Eğrikar Monzogranite in the eastern Pontides, are primarily investigated in this study with the aim of determining its magma source and geodynamic evolution. The U–Pb zircon age obtained from Eğrikar Monzogranite is 78 ± 1.5 Ma, thereby reflecting the age of monzogranite. The I-type Eğrikar Monzogranite comprises quartz, plagioclase (An35–45), orthoclase, muscovite, and biotite. The geochemical analyses of the Eğrikar Monzogranite indicate being medium K calc-alkaline, peraluminous, and resembling magmatic arc granite. The Eğrikar Monzogranite is enriched in large ion lithophile elements and light rare earth elements relative to high field strength elements. Chondrite-normalized rare earth element patterns have concave upward shapes (LaN/YbN 2.47–8.58) with pronounced negative Eu anomalies (EuN/Eu* = 0.29–0.65). Initial εNd(i) values vary between 1.85 and 2.18 and initial 87Sr/86Sr values between 0.7048 and 0.7067. Fractionation of plagioclase, hornblende, and apatite played an important role in the evolution of Eğrikar Monzogranite. The crystallization temperatures of the melts ranged from 770°C to 919°C based on zircon and apatite saturation temperatures. The geochemical and isotopic data suggest being generated by the partial melting of mafic lower crustal sources.

Sezer, İsmet
This study was compiled from the results of various researches performed on using diethyl ether as a fuel or fuel additive in diesel engines. Three different techniques are used the reduction of the harmful exhaust emissions of diesel engines. The first technique for the reduction of harmful emissions is improved the combustion by modification of engine design and fuel injection system, but this process is expensive and time consuming. The second technique is the using various exhaust gas devices like catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter. However, the use of these devices affects negatively diesel engine performance. The final technique to reduce emissions and also improve diesel engine performance is the use of various alternative fuels or fuel additives. The major pollutants of diesel engines are oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and particulate matter (PM). It is very difficult to reduce NOx and PM simultaneously in practice. The most researches declare that the best way to reduce is the use of various alternative fuels i. e. natural gas, biogas, biodiesel or using the additives with alternative fuels or conventional diesel fuel. Therefore, it is very important that the results of various studies on alternative fuels or fuel additives are evaluated together to practice applications. Especially, this study focus on the use diethyl ether in diesel engines as fuel or fuel additive in various diesel engine fuels. This review study investigates the effects of diethyl ether addition on the fuel properties and performance characteristics.

Çoban Kaynak, Rabia
The level of development of societies can not be measured only by economic growth. The level of prosperity of a society is closely related to how social resources are distributed. The question of how resources are distributed in society is closely related to the concept of social justice. Social justice, social welfare is the safety of states. The progress of a society is possible if all people living in a society have equal opportunity to access resources and services. Social justice is the most important instrument of social work, a profession that puts human rights out of a rhetoric. This study will focus on the importance of human rights and social justice based social work practices.

Aykut, Memnune Kabakuş
Today, health problems related to nutrition have a great deal. Regulation of individual nutrition programs, nutrient enrichment, vitamin-mineral supplements and health improvement and disease control to prevent nutritional problems are important public health strategies. In order to select the most suitable method, it's necessary to identify the present health problem as well as knowing the addressed population. Serious health problems may arise in deficiencies of vitamin-mineral, known as micronutrients. In such cases, nutritional support comes to the fore if there is an individual deficiency; however, the use of food-fortification policy may be a correct step if there is a deficiency, and dependent disease-conditions, in the population at large. But it is important to know the upper intake levels well to avoid any toxicity

Fidan, M. Said; Yasar, S. Sadiye; Yasar, Mehmet; Atar, Musa; Alkan, Elif
The present study investigated the effect of various types of impregnating and surface treatment materials on the fire resistance of wood material indoors and outdoors. Wood samples (Cedrus libani A. Rich.) were impregnated with Wolmanit-CB or Tanalith-E according to ASTM D1413-76 (American Society for Testing and Materials 1976). The impregnated surface was treated with either synthetic or water-based outdoor varnish materials. The impregnated and varnished samples were left in outdoor conditions for 1 year. The combustion characteristics of the samples were investigated at the end of 1 year according to the combustion parameters detailed in the ASTM E160-50 (1975) combustion test. The results of this study indicated that the combustion parameters were lower in the 1-year-old samples (89.12% of control values), in the samples impregnated using Wolmanit-CB (89.18% of control values), and in samples treated using water-based varnish (88.43% of control values). The analysis of flue gas indicated that the O-2 content of the 1-year-old samples impregnated with Wolmanit-CB and treated with synthetic varnish was higher, whereas the CO content was lower. In conclusion, impregnated Wolmanit-CB specimens provide higher fire resistance.

Demand for organic milk is partially driven by consumer perceptions that it is more nutritious. However, there is still considerable uncertainty over whether the use of organic production standards affects milk quality. Here we report results of meta-analyses based on 170 published studies comparing the nutrient content of organic and conventional bovine milk. There were no significant differences in total SFA and MUFA concentrations between organic and conventional milk. However, concentrations of total PUFA and n-3 PUFA were significantly higher in organic milk, by an estimated 7 (95% CI -1, 15)% and 56 (95% CI 38, 74) %, respectively. Concentrations of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), very long-chain n-3 fatty acids (EPA + DPA + DHA) and conjugated linoleic acid were also significantly higher in organic milk, by an 69 (95% CI 53, 84) %, 57 (95% CI 27, 87)% and 41 ( 95% CI 14, 68) %, respectively. As there were no significant differences in total n-6 PUFA and linoleic acid (LA) concentrations, the n-6:n-3 and LA: ALA ratios were lower in organic milk, by an estimated 71 (95% CI -122, -20)% and 93 (95% CI -116, -70) %. It is concluded that organic bovine milk has a more desirable fatty acid composition than conventional milk. Meta-analyses also showed that organic milk has significantly higher alpha-tocopherol and Fe, but lower I and Se concentrations. Redundancy analysis of data from a large cross-European milk quality survey indicates that the higher grazing/conserved forage intakes in organic systems were the main reason for milk composition differences.

Demand for organic meat is partially driven by consumer perceptions that organic foods are more nutritious than non-organic foods. However, there have been no systematic reviews comparing specifically the nutrient content of organic and conventionally produced meat. In this study, we report results of a meta-analysis based on sixty-seven published studies comparing the composition of organic and non-organic meat products. For many nutritionally relevant compounds (e.g. minerals, antioxidants and most individual fatty acids (FA)), the evidence base was too weak for meaningful meta-analyses. However, significant differences in FA profiles were detected when data from all livestock species were pooled. Concentrations of SFA and MUFA were similar or slightly lower, respectively, in organic compared with conventional meat. Larger differences were detected for total PUFA and n-3 PUFA, which were an estimated 23 (95% CI 11, 35)% and 47 (95% CI 10, 84)% higher in organic meat, respectively. However, for these and many other composition parameters, for which meta-analyses found significant differences, heterogeneity was high, and this could be explained by differences between animal species/meat types. Evidence from controlled experimental studies indicates that the high grazing/forage-based diets prescribed under organic farming standards may be the main reason for differences in FA profiles. Further studies are required to enable meta-analyses for a wider range of parameters (e.g. antioxidant, vitamin and mineral concentrations) and to improve both precision and consistency of results for FA profiles for all species. Potential impacts of composition differences on human health are discussed.

Hakkıoğlu, Mümin
Kuzey İrlandanın önde gelen şairlerinden Michael Longley, Homerosun İlyada ve Odysseia destanlarından yaptığı çeviriler ile hem kendi yazın yolculuğuna hem de ülkesinde yaşanan politik karmaşaya ışık tutar. Bu çeviri şiirlerde, özgün anlatıları par- çalayarak ve bölerek ya da yeniden birleştirerek adeta yeni metinler yaratır. Sözü edilen metinler iki boyutta değerlendirilebilir. Birincisinde, Longley, Homeros ile kendisini karşılaştırarak dil ve sanat üzerinden onunla bir yarışa girer; ustasını yüceltirken kendisini de büyütür. İkincisi, şiddetin insanlık tarihi kadar eski olduğu gerçeğine ilişkindir. Şair bu gerçeği vurgulamak için Homeros metinlerindeki şiddet ve savaş sahnelerini, XX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısında Kuzey İrlandada yaşanan karmaşayı anlatmada kullanır. Böylece geçen onca zamana karşın insanoğlunun uygarlaşamadığına, şiddetin fırsat bulduğu her yerde ve zamanda ortaya çıkan evrensel bir sorun olduğuna işaret eder. Longley, Odysseus ve Hektor üzerinden kini ve öç almayı dizelerine taşırken, Troya Savaşı sırasında Priamos ve Akhilleus arasında varılan ateşkes üzerinden İrlanda Sorununa ilişkin kendi çözümünü sunar: Yaşananları unutmadan ve geçmişe takılıp kalmadan bir uzlaşı kültürü oluşturmak, bağışlayıcılığı öne çıkarıp başkalarıyla duygudaşlık geliştirmek ve sorunun çözümüne yönelik kararlı adımlar atmak.

Mazlum, Ugur; Vahapoglu, Vahap; Karadeniz, Sami
Rubber type materials are preferred because they are suitable for use in many engineering applications besides their elasticity. EPDM rubber show outstanding heat, ozone and weather resistance and has excellent electrical properties. Therefore this rubber as an elastomer is an engineering material that has wide range of applications in industry such as door and window seals, radiator, garden and heating hoses, tubing, washers, belts, electrical insulation, roofing membrane and rubber mechanical goods. In this works, the stress relaxation behaviour of EPDM rubber at the room temperature were experimentally investigated. Applied to the hardness EPDM samples were subjected to different loading programs. In addition, for the loading programs that were implemented, it is shown that for the EPDM rubbers tested the stress relaxation curves obtained at different stretch ratios may be represented by a single representative curve for the specimens having the same hardnesses.

Maden, Nafiz; Öztürk, Serkan
In this paper, we analyze the relationships between the seismic b-values, Bouguer gravity and heat flow data in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. For this purpose, spatial distributions of b-value, Bouguer gravity and heat flow have been presented for different depths and locations. In distinction to previous studies which have used only two parameters (gravity and seismic b-value or heat flow and seismic b-value), we have combined seismic b-values, Bouguer gravity and heat flow data to determine the new results on the active tectonics of the Eastern Anatolia region. Our analysis shows that there are significant and robust correlations amidst the heat flow data, Bouguer gravity anomaly and seismic b-values. The crustal structure is thick in areas where the large negative gravity anomalies and low b-values are observed. On the contrary, the regions with positive gravity anomalies and high b-values are likely to be associated with magma chambers or crustal low-velocity zones. We also provide some evidence suggesting that high b-values and high heat flow values can be related to the magmatic activities beneath the volcanic chain in the Eastern Pontide orogenic belt. Consequently, we have reached some conclusions for the Eastern Anatolia region: (1) The Moho to surface is rather thick and earthquakes are relatively smaller beneath the volcanic chain where the high heat flow values are observed, (2) a southward subduction model could have existed for the development of the Pontides during the late Mesozoic–Cenozoic era, (3) hot and unstable mantle lid zones or a lithosphere deprived of mantle under the study region is much more plausible, (4) a southward movement of the subduction plate and a northward extension of the Black Sea increase the state of stress along the trench axis and decrease the b-value, and (5) these movements may load the stress energy to the fault zones, thereby causing the catastrophic earthquakes in the Eastern Anatolia region.

The immigrations that the Ottoman Empire was exposed to in the 19th century launched a new social mobility in Ottoman territories after the Crimean War (1853-1856). Especially the immigrations in 1864 starting with the great emigration of the Circassians after the Russian conquest faced the Ottoman Empire a huge and massive migration movements that could not be compared with the previous immigrations. In this immigration process, southern Black Sea ports, Trabzon and Samsun served as main entry ports for immigrants in the Ottoman territories. However, these immigrations led to serious issues to these port cities. The Ottoman government took some series measures to prevent both the immigrants and the indigenous people from the problems caused by the migration. This process, managed basically by the Refugee Commission, was an issue for international community in terms of the political and social consequences of the immigration. In this context, the Quarantine Council that had an international character closely followed this process. This study aims to investigate the mission of Dr. Barozzi sent by the Sublime Porte, as a member of the Quarantine Council, his measures and his activities in Trabzon and Samsun and the consequences of the migrations at these entry ports.
