    EFFECTS OF HEAVY METAL ON Tetraselmis chuii

    Kutlu, Banu; Dorucu, Mustafa

    We determined the toxic effects of seven metals. copper (Cu), manganese (Mn). zinc (Zn), cobalt (Co). molybdate (Mo), lead (Pb), and cadmium (Cd) on the microalgae Tefraselmis chuii (Butcher, 1959). We exposed 50 mL of cultivated microalgae (f/2 Gaillard) in the exponential growth phase. with three replicates, to concentrations of 0 (control). 0.1, 1.0, 5.0, 10, 25. and 50 g L of each metal for 72 hours. The cellular count was recorded daily to evaluate any potential lethal effects. An increase in cellular density was seen in the control treatment. All treatments exposed to metals showed a logarithmic increase in cell density within 48 hours, with a cellular decrease that became evident later on. This study result with an insignificant decrease at low concentrations of Cd, Pb, and Cu at 24 hour was probably attributed to their use as micronutrients at these low concentrations. The most lethal effect was observed with Cd treatment, which killed 50% of the microalgae population at a concentration of 0.62 mu g L-1. In this study, this concentration was three times lower than that of lead and mercury. while being ten times lower than that of cobalt and molybdate. To elucidate the adverse effects on seawater environments, the microalgae Tetraselmis chuii is recommended as a model species.

    Turgut, Yigit Emrah; Kopuz, Tuba; Aslan, Alper; Toksoy, Seyhan Eryilmaz

    In this study, it was aimed to determine the factors affecting parents' share on social media about their children. This is a qualitative study which was conducted with the participation of 88 parents. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of open-ended questions. It was revealed that most of parents participating in the study posted about their children on social media. It was determined that parents mostly pay attention to the children's appearance and privacy while sharing posts regarding their children on social media. It has been observed that among the factors affecting sharing, the factor of staying in contact with the social environment of the parents stands out. Besides, some parents' desire to make special days permanent and the fact that their shares make them feel happy were other factors which draw attention. It was concluded that the parents did not have sufficient knowledge about the legal processes that may arise from their social media posts.

    BIOCHEMICAL COMPOSITION AND ANTIOXIDANT PROFILE OF GEOGRAFICALLY LABELED KOHNU GRAPE (Vitis vinifera L.) CULTIVAR FROM TURKEY

    Akbaba, Emel; Aydin, Sevinc; Sanyurek, Nesrin Karaca

    Vitis vinifera L. is cultivated throughout the World including Turkey which is one of the largest producers of grape. Grape is consumed as fresh or dry fruit as well as used in the wine industry in which good quality of grapes are preferred. Grape is also a part of the traditional Mediterranean diet which is linked to a low risk of cardiovascular and degenerative diseases. Kohnu is a geographically labeled type of grape cultivated in the eastern cities of Turkey. In this study, Kohnu grapes harvested from two different cities of Turkey were compared through phenolic compounds, phytosterols, vitamins, fatty acids, and antioxidative properties. The concentrations of phenolic compounds in the sample from Elazig were obtained to be significantly higher as compared to the sample from Malatya. Especially vanillic acid was found to be much higher in Elazig samples. The concentrations of fatty acids especially palmitic acid, palmitoleic acid, oleic acid, and linoleic acid were obtained significantly higher in Elazig samples as compared to Malatya samples. Vitamin and phytosterol concentrations of the samples from Elazig were also determined as higher as compared to Malatya samples. Significantly higher antioxidant activity of Kohnu grape seeds from Elazig was obtained via DPPH radical scavenging activity and MDA levels. The antioxidant profile of Kohnu grape seeds of Elazig samples could be related to phenolic composition and vitamins.

    Homoploid hybrids of Origanum (Lamiaceae) in Turkey: morphological and molecular evidence for a new hybrid

    Arabaci, Turan; Çelenk, Sevcan; Özcan, Taner; Martin, Esra; Yazici, Türker; Açar, Mikail; Üzel, Devrim; Dirmenci, Tuncay

    In this study, three hybrids of Origanum (Lamiaceae) were examined in detail using morphological, karyological, palynological and molecular approaches. One of the three hybrids, O. × aytacii, is here described for the first time, and is compared with its putative parents, O. sipyleum and O. vulgare subsp. hirtum. In addition to morphological, karyological and palynological features, we also examined nuclear ribosomal DNA (ITS) sequences of O. × intermedium (O. onites × O. sipyleum), O. × intercedens (O. onites × O. vulgare subsp. hirtum) and their purported parental species that share the same area with the new hybrid. Pollen grains were hexacolpate and isopolar. The range of Polar/Equatorial ratio (P/E) of pollen for investigated taxa varied from 0.74 to 0.99. All investigated taxa are diploid with a chromosome number as 2n = 30. According to molecular results, O. × aytacii was the most polymorphic taxon. In addition, DNA sequences showed that O. × intercedens was more similar to O. vulgare subsp. hirtum than to O. onites, and O. × intermedium was more similar to O. onites than to O. sipyleum. Furthermore, O. onites and O. vulgare subsp. hirtum have many different ITS haplotypes, probably resulting from backcrossing with different individuals. Results obtained in this study demonstrate that hybridization has played a major role in the process of Origanum speciation.

    Topal, Murat

    In this study, the bioaccumulation of some metals by Phragmites australis plants exposed to poultry slaughterhouse wastewater was investigated. For this aim, Mo, As, Cd, Se, Cu, Zn, Cr, Ba, Ti, Fe, Al, and Mn metals were determined in slaughterhouse wastewaters, P. australis plants, and sediment samples. The uptake of metals by P. australis was investigated. Also, BCF and TF values were calculated and compared with reference plant values. The maximum metal accumulation in P. australis plants exposed to poultry slaughterhouse wastewaters was 5900% for Al and 33.5% for Mn when compared with reference plant values. According to the BCF values, P. australis was bioaccumulative for Mo, Se, and Al. As a result, it was determined that P. australis plant can be used in the remediation of metals found in poultry slaughterhouse wastewaters and would be a good accumulator.

    Şakar, Murat; Bayındır, Melek; Kılıç, Tahir

    Study Objectives: This study aimed to examine the body perception levels of women aged between 11 and 14, including those not playing sports and playing sports according to their sports branches. Method: the study was carried out with 140 female participants between ages 11 and 14. The study group consists of 80 licensed women athletes playing volleyball (n:28), basketball (n:25), badminton (n:9), and swimming (n:18) and also 60 women who are educated in the same school but do not actively play sports. Participants were included in the study voluntarily. The data were measured for the 2017-2018 academic calendar by using the “The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire (MBSRQ)”. The Turkish validity and reliability of this scale were performed. Results: The appearance orientation scores of individuals who play individual and team sports were found to be significantly lower than those who do not. It was observed that there was a significant difference in the body perception levels of women playing and not playing sports. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the fitness evaluation, fitness orientation, and overall scale scores according to age, branch, and sports status. On the other hand, there was no significant difference between the scores of appearance evaluation, health orientation, body areas satisfaction, appearance orientation, and health evaluation. Conclusion: The formation of a positive body image can be achieved by actively participating in sports and physical activities in adolescence. It should be encouraged as a state policy that adolescents participate in social sportive communities where they can establish healthy relationships. To have adult behaviors and to struggle with life, for individuals with reduced anxiety levels, high self-esteem and self-confidence, and satisfaction with their body image, organized planning and precautions should be performed to adapt them to life.

    Graphene-reinforced potato starch composite films: Improvement of mechanical, barrier and electrical properties

    Gürler, Nedim; Torğut, Gülben

    In this study, PSG composite films were prepared by casting method by adding graphene (G) to glycerol plasticized potato starch (PS) films. The structure and properties of the composite films were investigated attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR), X-ray analysis (XRD), and swelling capacity, total soluble matter, transparency, tensile strength, and electrical conductivity. When the G content of PSG composite films increased from 0% to 1%, tensile strength increased from 1.035 MPa to 1.681 MPa, but decreased to 1.175 MPa in composite films containing 2% G. It also increased electrical conductivity when the G concentration increased. Also, the G layers are among the PS films and their swelling and solubility properties are reduced. With increased G concentration, the light transmittance decreased and the films were more opaque. These improvements can refer to the interface interaction between PS and G.

    Determination of Antioxidant Capacity, Phenolic and Elemental Composition in Syriac (Mardin) Wines by using Chromatographic and Spectrophotometric Methods

    Sanyurek, Nesrin Karaca; Ince, Olcay Kaplan; Aydogdu, Burcu; Ince, Muharrem

    Free radicals are responsible for many health problems, especially oxidative stress-related diseases. With conscious nutrition and the use of natural antioxidants, it is now possible to cope with these diseases or minimize their effects. The aim of this study was to determine pH, total acidity, total SO2, free SO2, relative SO2, dry matter, density, alcohol content, reducing sugar, ash, CUPRAC, DPPH free radical scavenging capacity, total phenolic content, elemental composition, and some phenolic compounds of Syriac (Mardin) wines. Estimated daily intake (EDI), target hazard quotients (THQ), total target hazard quotients (TTHQ), and relative risk (RR) were calculated, to assess a health risk resulting from regular consumption of Syriac wines. The elements EDI values through consumption of wines were less than the recommended dietary allowance values. Obtained THQ values were less than 1. When the obtained results are compared with the levels set by regulatory authorities, the investigated wine consumption does not pose a toxicological risk based on EDI, THQ, TTHQ, and RR values. In addition, this study showed that the Syriac wine’s antioxidant capacities are high and rich in phenolic compounds and elements.

    Experimental design approach for ultra-fast nickel removal by novel bio-nanocomposite material

    Ince, Olcay K.; Aydogdu, Burcu; Alp, Hevidar; Ince, Muharrem

    In the present study, novel chitosan coated magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were successfully biosynthesized from mushroom, Agaricus campestris, extract. The obtained bio-nanocomposite material was used to investigate ultra-fast and highly efficient for removal of Ni2+ ions in a fixed-bed column. Chitosan was treated as polyelectrolyte complex with Fe3O4 nanoparticles and a Fungal Bio-Nanocomposite Material (FBNM) was derived. The FBNM was characterized by using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), Fourier Transform Infrared spectra (FTIR) and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) techniques and under varied experimental conditions. The influence of some important operating conditions including pH, flow rate and initial Ni2+ concentration on the uptake of Ni2+ solution was also optimized using a synthetic water sample. A Central Composite Design (CCD) combined with Response Surface Modeling (RSM) was carried out to maximize Ni2+ removal using FBNM for adsorption process. A regression model was derived using CCD to predict the responses and analysis of variance (ANOVA) and lack of fit test was used to check model adequacy. It was observed that the quadratic model, which was controlled and proposed, was originated from experimental design data. The FBNM maximum adsorption capacity was determined as 59.8 mg g−1. Finally, developed method was applied to soft drinks to determine Ni2+ levels. Reusability of FBNM was tested, and the adsorption and desorption capacities were not affected after eight cycles. The paper suggests that the FBNM is a promising recyclable nanoadsorbent for the removal of Ni2+ from various soft drinks.

    The assessment of basic blue 41 textile dye decolorisation using the Fenton process: response surface methodology optimisation and toxicity evaluation

    Tanyol, Mehtap; Cikcikoglu Yildirim, Nuran; Tatar, Sule; Serdar, Osman; Yildirim, Numan

    The biochemical biomarkers (Catalase (CAT), glutathione s-transferase (GST), cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1450) activities and glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels) of D. polymorpha exposed to the basic blue 41 (BB41) solutions for 24 and 96 h before and after the Fenton process (FTP) were evaluated to investigate the efficiency of the FTP. The optimum conditions for the removal of BB41 were set using central composite design (CCD), which is a response surface methodology (RSM) module in the Design-Expert® software. The optimal conditions were found to be 27.87 min, 3.49 mg/L, and 0.04 for reaction time, initial BB41 concentration, and Fe2+/H2O2 molar ratio, respectively, resulting in maximum (99%) removal efficiency. After FTP, the MDA and GSH levels decreased significantly during the 24 and 96 h. CAT activities were increased after treatment. No statistically significant changes were observed in the CYP1A1 levels after FTP. GST activities decreased during 24 h but increased during 96 h after FTP. CYP1A1450, catalase, GST activities and MDA, GSH levels of D. polymorpha are useful biomarkers to evaluate the efficiency of FTP. This study suggests that BB41 dye must be further treated after the FTP to minimise the ecotoxicological risk.

    Fine–kinney-based occupational risk assessment using interval-valued pythagorean fuzzy vikor

    Gul, Muhammet; Mete, Suleyman; Serin, Faruk; Celik, Erkan

    This chapter aims at the adaptation of the Fine–Kinney occupational risk assessment concept into the VIKOR multi-attribute decision-making method with an interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set. The classical fuzzy set theory has been improved by proposing a number of extended versions. One of them is the Pythagorean fuzzy set. It has been firstly developed by Yager (IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems 22:958–965, [1]). In this chapter, we use this type of fuzzy set with VIKOR since it reflects uncertainty in occupational risk assessment and decision-making better than other fuzzy extensions. To demonstrate the proposed approach applicability, a case study regarding the activities of the surface treatment area in a chrome plating unit of a gun factory is performed. Some additional analysis to test the solidity and validity of the approach is executed. Finally, the Python codes in the implementation of the proposed approach are given for scholars and practitioners for usage in further studies.

    Evaluation of the efficiency of chlorpyrifos-ethyl remediation by Methylobacterium radiotolerans and Microbacterium arthrosphaerae using response of some biochemical biomarkers

    Onder Erguven, Gokhan; Tatar, Şule; Serdar, Osman; Yildirim, Nuran Cikcikoglu

    This study reveals out detoxifying and antioxidant enzyme response of Gammarus pulex exposed/polluted to chlorpyrifos-ethyl insecticide before and after biodegradation/bioremediation by Methylobacterium radiotolerans and Microbacterium arthrosphaerae. Cytochrome P450 1A1, glutathione S-transferase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities in G. pulex exposed to chlorpyrifos-ethyl before and after bioremediation/biodegradation by these two bacteria during 24 and 96 h tested by using commercial ELISA kits. The activity of catalase enzyme was decreased depending on chlorpyrifos-ethyl before and after bioremediation/biodegradation the enzyme activity was increased repeatedly. Superoxide dismutase activity level increased after chlorpyrifos-ethyl exposure in 96 h (p > 0.05). Following bioremediation, superoxide dismutase enzyme activity decreased again during 24 h (p > 0.05) and increased during 96 h (p < 0.05). Statistical differences were not found in cytochrome P450 1A1 enzyme activity before and after the process (p > 0.05). No significant differences were determined during the activity of glutathione S-transferase in 24 h (p > 0.05). The activities of glutathione S-transferase were increased after exposure of chlorpyrifos-ethyl during 96 h. After bioremediation; the activity of glutathione S-transferase increased even more (p < 0.05). The results determined that activities of G. pulex at superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione S-transferase are common biomarkers for revealing out the efficiency of bioremediation of chlorpyrifos-ethyl with these two types of soil bacteria.

    Ates, Mehmet; Tanaydın, Mehmet Kayra; Yılmaz, Ersen

    Nanomaterials are composed of several atoms or molecules, which may be of various sizes and morphologies. Manmade nanomaterials are specially produced to take advantage of the unique properties of nanoscale. There are many metal chalcogenides with different structures and compositions such as CdSe, InAs, CdS, GaN, InGeAs, CdTe, PbS, PbSe, ZnS, Na2S, CaTe, Ti2S, and Cu2Se. The diversity of metal chalcogenides is related to the orbit of transition metals. In this chapter, new studies using chalcogenide compounds as photocatalysts were explained under the subtopics of metal chalcogenides and their properties, semiconductive nanostructures, nanomaterial production technique, chemical synthesis methods, and metal chalcogenides as photocatalysts. Novel applications of metal chalcogenide-based materials like water splitters, organic pollutant degraders, self-cleaning agents chalcogenide glasses and thermoelectric materials are explained in detail under the relevant headings. Future prospects of chalcogenides are also evaluated from a different perspective.

    Fine–kinney-based occupational risk assessment using interval type-2 fuzzy vikor

    Gul, Muhammet; Mete, Suleyman; Serin, Faruk; Celik, Erkan

    In this chapter, we improved Fine–Kinney occupational risk assessment approach with interval type-2 fuzzy VIKOR (IT2FVIKOR). VIKOR is a compromise multi-attribute decision-making method proposed by Opricovic (1998). Similar to other compromised solution-based approaches, it considers the solution which is closest to the ideal. In this chapter, we adapted the interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs) into VIKOR as it reflects the uncertainty well in decision-making. IT2FVIKOR algorithm under the Fine–Kinney concept provides a useful and solid approach to the occupational health and safety risk assessment. In addition to proposing this new approach, a case study is performed in a gun and rifle barrel external surface oxidation and coloring unit of a gun factory. A validation and a sensitivity analysis is also attached to this study. Finally, the proposed approach is implemented in Python.

    Effects of magnesium biotinate supplementation on serum insulin, glucose and lipid parameters along with liver protein levels of lipid metabolism in rats

    Sahin, Kazim; Orhan, Cemal; Kucuk, Osman; Erten, Fusun; Tuzcu, Mehmet; Sahin, Nurhan; Ojalvo, Sara Perez; Komorowski, James Richard

    The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of a novel form of biotin (magnesium biotinate) on serum glucose, lipid profile, and hepatic lipid metabolism-related protein levels in rats. Forty-two rats were divided into six groups and fed a standard diet-based egg white powdered diet supplemented with either d-biotin at 0.01, 1, or 100 mg/kg BW or magnesium biotinate at 0.01, 1, or 100 mg/kg BW for 35 days. Neither form of biotin influenced (p > 0.05) serum glucose or insulin concentrations. Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride decreased with biotin from both sources (p < 0.05). Concentrations were lower with magnesium biotinate when comparing the 1 mg/kg dose (p < 0.05). Serum, liver, and brain biotin and liver cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) concentrations were greater when rats were treated with magnesium biotinate versus d-biotin, particularly when comparing the 1 and 100 mg/kg dose groups (p < 0.05). Both biotin forms decreased the liver SREBP-1c and FAS and increased AMPK-a1, ACC-1, ACC-2, PCC, and MCC levels (p < 0.05). The magnitudes of responses were more emphasized with magnesium biotinate. Magnesium biotinate, compared with a commercial d-biotin, is more effective in reducing serum lipid concentrations and regulating protein levels of lipid metabolism-related biomarkers.

    Infrared drying of dill leaves: Drying characteristics, temperature distributions, performance analyses and colour changes

    Tezcan, Derya; Sabancı, Serdal; Cevik, Mutlu; Cokgezme, Omer Faruk; Icier, Filiz

    Thin-layer drying behaviour of dill leaves samples under three different infrared radiation power intensities was investigated. Diffusion Approach was found to be the best model that describes the drying behaviour of dill leaves. Effective diffusivity values were 6.97 × 10−9, 6.84 × 10−9 and 8.96 × 10−9 m2/s for power intensities of 1790, 1970 and 2070 W/m2, respectively. According to the first and second law efficiencies, the infrared drying system was more efficient at higher power intensities (p < 0.05). However, the total colour change was maximum at the highest power intensity. For the investigated infrared drying conditions, 1970 W/m2 was recommended as the best-infrared power intensity applied for drying of dill leaves by taking into account both performance analyses and quality changes.
