    Neo-assyrıan materıal culture remaıns at murat höyük: an amulet and a dımpled goblet

    Özdemir, Abdulkadir; Danışmaz, Harun

    Murat Höyük is located on the bank of the Murat River in Solhan district of modern Bingöl province in Eastern Anatolia. This study presents two archaeological finds of the Middle Iron Age – an amulet bearing divine symbols and a “dimpled goblet” – from the second settlement phase of the site. Threatened by the construction of Aşağı Kaleköy hydroelectric dam, Murat Höyük was registered by Erzurum Regional Board of Cultural Heritage Preservation in 2018 and immediate action was taken for salvage excavations. Murat Höyük Excavations were conducted by a team of specialists under the directorship of Elazığ Museum during a single, long and intensive field season in 2019 prior to the inundation of the mound. Four main settlement phases (I-IV) were documented at Murat Höyük, where Phase II dates to the 9th – 6th centuries BC. The two unique finds presented in this study provide evidence for the inhabitants’ interactions with neighboring cultures during a period when the site was under the domination of the Urartian Kingdom.

    Potential Role of Zeolite on Improvement of Aquaculture Sector

    Danabaş, Durali; Dörücü, Mustafa

    Aquaculture, which is very important in many regions of the world, attracts attention as the fastest\rgrowing sector in the livestock sector in our country. The share of our country's aquaculture\rproduction in the production of total aquatic products is increasing day by day. Studies have been\rcarried out to solve feed problems and importance has been attached to additives that reduce cost\rand feed conversion ratio (FCR) to contribute to feed quality. Zeolites came to the forefront as feed\radditives. Due to the gap between 20 and 50 % in the structure, the molecules can be taken into the\rstructures and they are named as molecular sieves. Zeolites are used for purposes such as controlling\rthe pollution in pools in the aquaculture sector, increasing the growth parameters of the fish by\rincubation, fish transport and removal of nitrogen compounds from aquarium water, increasing\rambient oxygen in aquarium and fish transport, and as feed additive. In Turkey, billions of tons of\rzeolite have been detected and clinoptilolite type zeolite is found mostly in the beds of AnkaraPolatlı-Mülk-Oğlakçı Region and Bigadiç, Şaphane, Gediz, Emet and Gördes Districts. We believe\rthat the use of zeolites produced in Turkey as a local and natural product as feed additive substance\rin the aquaculture industry in the aquaculture sector will contribute to the production of lower cost\rfish as well as contribute to the development of 2 different sectors (aquaculture and mining) in\rinteraction with each other.

    FATTY ACID CONTENT AND FREE RADICAL SCAVENGING (DPPH) ACTIVITIES OF SOME OF BRYOPHYTES EXTRACTS

    Aydinl, Sevinc; Alatas, Mevlut; Batan, Nevzat

    In this study, DPPH and fatty acid contents were investigated of some taxa belonging to Neckeraceae (Alleniella complanata, Alleniella besseri, Exsertotheca crispa) and Hypnaceae (Hypnum cupressiforme, Hypnum resupinatum, Hypnum andoi) family collected from Kamilet Valley (Artvin-Arhavi) in 2017. DPPH free radical scavenging activity was determined according to the method developed by Brand-Williams et al. The fatty acids in extracts were analyzed via gas chromatography after transforming them into methyl esters. According to the obtained results, it was determined that the DPPH scavenging effects of taxa from Hypnaceae family were significantly higher than those of taxa from Neckeraceae family, and that the free radical scavenging effects of taxa from Hypnaceae family varied depending on the amount of extract. The saturated fatty acids content of the Neckeraceae and the unsaturated fatty acids of the Hypnaceae were found to be richer (p<0.001). The high DPPH activity in our study, especially in Hypnum species, suggested that Hypnum species were richer in terms of phenolic content. These compounds can be used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food sectors, if both of these species are phenolic and fatty acid content can be obtained as pure.

    Investigation on the effects of Inula viscosa L. on rainbow trout gonad cells induced by lipopolysaccharide

    Küçükgül, Azime; Küçükgül, Altug; Korkmaz, Tulay Metin

    Fish cells have been accepted as an alternative to in vivo assay for inflammatory effects of therapeutic experimental systems. To reveal the anti-inflammatory effects of Inula viscosa (IV) fish cell line RTG-2, derived from the gonadal tissue of rainbow trout, was infected with lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Effective concentrations for different concentrations of LPS (1, 5, 10, 20 mu M) and IN (1, 5, 10, 20 mu g ml(-1)) were determined. While the 20 mu M concentration of LPS, which was effectively selected from preliminary tests, caused 27% cell loss, the effective 1 mu g ml-1 concentration of IN caused 1.1% proliferation in the cells when compared to the control group. All pro-inflammatory parameters investigated in LPS-induced RTG-2 cells showed up-regulation, with the highest increase in TNF-alpha gene expression level (11.3 fold changes). Down-regulation was determined in the IN together with LPS administered group and IL-1 beta had the highest effect with 96%. IL-6 protein level decreased by LPS at a rate of 4% and IN together with LPS increased by 9%. The IN exhibited significant efficacy against inflammation caused by LPS. However, further studies are needed to determine pharmacological activity of I. viscosa in details.

    On Metric Contact Pairs with Certain Semi-Symmetry Conditions

    Ünal, Inan

    Blair et al. [7] introduced the notion of bicontact manifold in the context of Hermitian geometry. Bande and Hadjar [1] studied on this notion under the name of contact pairs. These type of structures have important properties and their geometry is some different from classical contact structures. In this paper, we study on some semi-symmetry properties of the normal contact pair manifolds. We prove that a Ricci semi-symmetric (or concircularly Ricci semi-symmetric) normal metric contact pair manifold is a generalized quasi-Einstein manifold. Also, we classify normal metric contact pair manifolds as a generalized quasi-Einstein manifold with certain semi-symmetry conditions L (X, Z).R = 0, R(X, Z).L = 0 and L (X, Z).L = 0 for the concircular curvature tensor L, the Riemannian curvature tensor R, and an arbitrary vector field X.

    TREND ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECT OF RAIN ON SOLAR ENERGY PRODUCTION IN A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

    Korkmaz, Meral

    The greatest need of the modern world is energy. From production to consumption, energy has become essential in all areas. As fossil-derived energy production systems cause global warming and climate change, interest in renewable energy sources is increasing. Despite the pandemic, solar production has shown promising growth throughout the world. Turkey has been encouraging investments in renewable energy sources, especially solar energy, for the last 10 years. Feasibility studies before the installation of solar power plants are crucial for investors. As a result of feasibility studies, the cost of the investment and the depreciation period can be calculated. In this study, feasibility studies of the 474 kWp power plant in Samsun province were carried out with PVsyst program. Significant differences were found between the software results and the actual results of the solar plant built in Samsun province. Production losses between actual data and numerical data are thought to be related to meteorological data. There are numerous studies in the literature about PV software. However. current studies have not examined the effect of meteorological data of the region on the difference in production between PV software results and solar power plant production values. In this study, the Sen method was used to determine the precipitation trend by taking meteorological data from Samsun province. With this method, rainfall in Samsun province was seen to be on an upward trajectory. For this reason, in regions where there is a lot of precipitation; feasibility studies of solar power plants are falling by approximately 9 percent.

    Morphometric investigations on the NW Bitlis-Zagros mountain range (SE Turkey): Implications for the internal deformation of the western Turkish-Iranian Plateau

    Sançar, Taylan

    Collision of the Arabian and Eurasian plates has resulted in uplift of the Turkish-Iranian Plateau, where debate continues over how post-collisional convergence is being converted to strain. The internal deformation models of the plateau have taken into account the distribution of deformation in the NW-trending Bitlis-Zagros Mountain Range (BZMR), the southern boundary of the collision. The western end of the BZMR is marked by contrasting topographic relief resulting from the coupling of tectonic and erosional processes. This region providing an excellent record for undertaking quantitative analysis which can improve our understanding of its tectonic evolution. Mountain front analyses reveal that each fault segment located in front of the western BZMR falls within the limits of Class-1 that corresponds to an uplift rate of >0.5 mm yr(-1). Hypsometric and basin asymmetry analysis were analyzed for 93 drainage basins, indicating that weakly to moderately eroded basins can be moderately to strongly asymmetric but show no uniform tilting direction. Channel concavity, integral and knickpoint analyses suggest that, apart from the thrust fault that represents the margin of the collision zone, there is no pronounced single geological constraint that causes differential tectonic uplift and furthermore implies that the effect is distributed across multiple different structures. The findings of this study suggest that continuous lower rate horizontal displacement has occurred in this region since the onset of collision, but also indicates that the western end of the BZMR represents a zone of higher convergence, in which shortening is being converted to the vertical plane strain.

    ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITIES AND SOME BIOCHEMICAL CONTENTS OF THE SEEDS OF THE OKUZGOZU AND BOGAZKERE (Vitis vinifera L.) GRAPE VARIETIES GROWN IN TURKEY

    Aydin, Sevinc

    The Vitis vinifera L. grape species is a fruit that is the most prevalently grown in the whole world and has economic significance. It is known that, due to its climate conditions, Turkey has rich resources in terms of Vitis vinifera L. With this study, we aimed to determine the phenolic, vitamin and fatty acid contents of the Okuzgozu and Bogazkere varieties of Vitis vinifera L. and see the effects of these contents on antioxidant activity. Fatty acids in the lipid extract were analyzed by gas chromatography after conversion into methyl esters. For flavonoid and vitamin analyses, a high-performance liquid chromatography device (HPLC-UV. Shimadzu) was used. Antioxidant activity was determined by Radical Scavenging Activity (DPPH) and Lipid Peroxidation (MDA) experiments, As a result of the study, some saturated and unsaturated fatty acid, phenolic compound and vitamin contents of the two varieties were obtained. It was observed that the amounts of unsaturated fatty acids, whose effects on antioxidant activity are known, in the Okuzgozu variety were significantly higher than those in the Bogazkere variety. The results on phenolic and vitamin compounds revealed higher amounts in the Okuzgozu variety in comparison to Bogazkere as in the case of fatty acids. The finding that these contents and antioxidant activity were in proportion suggested that the antioxidant effect of the Okuzgozu variety is higher. If the substances that provide this effect are correctly isolated from the plant, they may be used beneficially in both the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

    THE EFFECT ON JOB SATISFACTION OF EXECUTIVE SUPPORT PERCEPTION OF COACHES IN TURKEY

    Kizilkoca, Mustafa; Namli, Aysel Kizilkaya

    This study aims to determine the effect of coaches' perception of executive support on job satisfaction. A relational screening model was used in the study for this purpose. Disproportionate sampling was used within the scope of the study, and 516 coaches working in various provinces of Turkey composed a sample of the study. The scale of executive support developed by Karasek et.al (1985) and adapted by Kula (2011) and the scale of job satisfaction made by Bilir and Keser (2019) was used in the collection of data. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to reveal the relationship between scores from scales, Linear Regression analysis was used to determine whether the scores obtained affected each other. Error level in the study was taken as p<0.01. It has been determined that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the executive support levels of coaches in Turkey and the levels of job satisfaction. It can be said that as the level of executive support increases, the levels of job satisfaction increase. According to linear regression analysis, it was determined that the level of executive support positively affected the job satisfaction levels of coaches. It was observed that the executives' support scores of coaches in Turkey were higher than average with an average of 3.53 and job satisfaction scores were high with an average of 4.08 in our study.

    PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF WILD GROWS GANODERMA LUCIDUM IN TURKEY BASED ON THE ITS REGION OF RDNA AND OBTAINING HYBRID STRAINS BY PROTOPLAST FUSION METHOD

    Kar, Bulent

    Ganoderma is a cosmopolitan genus of fungi in many tree species. In this study, two wild Ganoderma lucidum strains that show the natural distribution in oak trees in the Mediterranean region (Alata and Balcali) were collected and their phylogenetic relationships based on the internal transcribed spacer rDNA region were defined and investigated. 3 equal phylogenetic trees were obtained using ITS sequences, the smallest of which was similar to 517 bp and the largest was similar to 836 bp, and the analysis of Maximum Likelihood (Kimura 2 and Tamura 3) and Maximum Parsimony (Bootstrap: 1000). G. lucidum strain in Turkey, unlike its European and Chinese relatives along with high bootstrap values (ML-K2P: 99%, ML-T2: 98%, and MP: 98%) they form a cluster with G. resinaceum. Moreover, results of phylogenetic analysis observing over 70% bootstrap (ML-K2P = 80%, ML-T3 = 79% and MP 86%) values of the G. lucidum samples in the study even among themselves creates an impression that these two strains arc a sub-strain of a new G. lucidum. RAPD method was used for molecular identification of hybrids acquired by protoplast regeneration. The difference between hybrid individuals was best identified as a result of RAPD analysis performed with primer no RAPD-GN X-17.

    Palaeoseismic behaviour of strike-slip faults in slowly deforming regions: palaeoearthquakes and long-term slip history of the Ovacik Fault (eastern Turkey)

    Yazici, Muge; Zabci, Cengiz; Natal'in, Boris A.; Sançar, Taylan; Akyuz, H. Serdar

    The Ovacik Fault (OF) is one of the internal structures of the Anatolian Block, located close to its eastern boundary. Although it shows a very clear surface trace, there are no instrumentally recorded surface rupturing earthquakes on this fault. This study concludes results of the first palaeoseismological trench study on the OF with the evidence for three surface rupturing earthquakes for the last 6 kyr. Structural, stratigraphical and geochronological constraints show that the oldest event happened between 4700 and 3022 BCE, whereas the penultimate event was between 2262 and 1643 BCE. The youngest event happened after 56 BCE, which we could only delimit from below because of the absence of any dateable material from the upper layers of the relevant horizons. The derived mean interevent time of these three palaeoevents is 2400 +/- 765 years. We could not correlate any of these palaeoevents with historical earthquakes due to the absence of records in catalogues for the region of interest. Moreover, we used cumulative offsets of the major drainages to calculate the long-term slip rate of 2.7 mm/year since the Pliocene, which exceeds slip rates of other internal faults of Anatolia almost by the factor of two. Our results do not only show significant deformation for the internal parts of Anatolia but also point out a seismic potential of the OF.

    An Investigation of Receptive and Productive Morphological Knowledge of Derivational Suffixes in Turkish Learners of English

    Tosun, Sibel; Onur, Fulya Eslek

    Morphological awareness (MA) has been regarded as a profoundly important aspect of enhancing both vocabulary breadth and depth. As one of the predictors of morphological competence, knowledge of derivational suffixes has a crucial place among all morphemes because they have the ability to change word class. This descriptive study, which employed a quantitative approach, aimed to investigate students' receptive and productive knowledge of derivational class-changing suffixes and to identify to what extent they can produce appropriate derivatives in different word classes. Predictive roles of receptive and productive MA on writing achievement are also a subject of the current study. To achieve the purpose, 50 undergraduate EFL students studying at the School of Foreign Languages at a state university, whose ages ranged between 18 and 22 participated in the study. The results of the study indicated that the participants were significantly better at the receptive task than in productive task. It has also been found that productive MA uniquely predicts writing performance scores. The current study is noteworthy in that it aims to shed light on the strengths and weaknesses of the learners' morphological knowledge as well as provide insights for similar settings on the areas to specifically focus on while teaching derivational suffixes.
