Camas, Mustafa; Sazak Camas, Anil; Kyeremeh, Kwaku
Through the use of genomes that have undergone millions of years of evolution, marine Actinobacteria are known to have adapted to rapidly changing environmental pressures. The result is a huge chemical and biological diversity among marine Actinobacteria. It is gradually becoming a known fact that, marine Actinobacteria have the capability to produce nanoparticles which have reasonable sizes and structures with possible applications in biotechnology and pharmacology. Mycobacterium sp. BRS2A-AR2 was isolated from the aerial roots of the mangrove plant Rhizophora racemosa. The Mycobacterium was demonstrated for the first time ever to produce AuNPs with sizes that range between 5 and 55 nm. The highest level absorbance of the biosynthesized AuNPs was typical for actinobacterial strains (2.881 at 545 nm). The polydispersity index was measured as 0.207 in DLS and the zeta potential was negatively charged (− 28.3 mV). Significant vibration stretches were seen at 3314, 2358, 1635 and 667 cm−1 in FT-IR spectra. This demonstrated the possible use of small aliphatic compounds containing –COOH, –OH, –Cl and –NH2 functional groups in the stabilization of the AuNPs. The effect of the biosynthesized AuNPs on HUVEC and HeLA cell lines was measured at 48 h. IC50 values were determined at 3500 µg/ml concentration for HUVEC and HeLA cell lines at 45.25 and 53.41% respectively.

Karaaslan, Nagihan M.; Yaman, Mehmet
The aim of this study was to determine the toxic metal concentrations in chicken meat consumed by the Turkish population and to establish health risk assessment. The concentrations of cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), and lead (Pb) in chicken meat produced by seven different suppliers were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP- MS). The Cd concentrations in all samples were found to be lower than the maximum allowable concentration (MAC) of 50 Hg kg-1. The Cr and Ni concentrations in all samples were lower than 700 and 450 μg kg-1, respectively, with the exception of Cr in the samples from one producer and of Ni from two other producers. The Pb concentrations (max. 413 μg kg-1) in the samples from three producers were found to be higher than the MAC of 100 μg kg-1. Although the concentrations of lead in some samples exceed the limits set by the authorities, risk of developing cancer over a human lifetime was found to be not significant (between 3 to 16 per 1,000,000 persons).

Yildirim, N.; Erguven, G.O.; Adar, E.
The extensive use of pesticides for controlling insects has been widely used in agricultural activities. However, the indiscriminate use of the pesticides has inflicted serious harmful problems to humans in the ecosystem. Our study aims to evaluating the capacity of Armillaria tabescens to remove the chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD5) at different concentration of malathion insecticide (50, 100 and 150 ppm) under agitated (130 rpm) submerged culture conditions at 27 °C after 8 and 15 days. According to our results, A. tabescens has achieved COD reduction as 52.39, 27.24, and 38.30% at concentration of 50, 100 and 150 ppm respectively on 15 days. The BOD5 reduction rates were found as 78.2, 74.76 and 81.26% at 50, 100 and 150 ppm concentration respectively at the end of the 15th days. At the end of this time period, the dried biomass of A. tabescens was weighted and we have suggested that malathion in medium reduced the biomass production compared the control group (Sabouraud dextrose broth + A. tabescens). Our experiments have focused that; A. tabescens could be an alternative and useful fungus for bioremediation of wastewater containing malathion insecticide.

Aslan, Serpil; Kaya, Mehmet
Recently, link prediction studies on large-scale and complex networks have particularly become the focus of interest for researchers in various scientific fields. Many complex networks created from the real-world data contain bipartite structure by nature. Bipartite networks are a kind of complex networks that represent the interactions between the different node groups. Almost all of the previous studies on link prediction in bipartite networks focus on using the properties of projection networks to predict the relations between the node pairs. In this study, a novel similarity-based link prediction method based on strengthening weighted projection is proposed to predict the potential links between the authors and the topics in the large-scale bipartite academic information network created from the real-world data. Since information loss occurs when bipartite networks are converted to unimodal networks, it should be noted that when making a link prediction in this paper, both the bipartite network and the information on strengthening unimodal network obtained from the bipartite network are used. To evaluate the proposed method, a bipartite network was first created from a real dataset consisting of authors and their work. Then the method was tested on this network. Experimental results demonstrate that it is possible to obtain faster and more accurate link prediction results by the proposed method.

Can, Erkan; Başusta, Asiye; Karataş, Bilal
Salmo munzuricus is a newly-named species of trout that spreads through rivers flowing along the Munzur Valley National Park. The efficacy of anaesthetic 2-phenoxyethanol was evaluated in indigenous brown trout in the present study. Fish were divided into three weight classes: 100-200 g (W1), 200-400 g (W2) and 400-600 g (W3) and they were exposed to four concentrations of anaesthetic (0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mL L-1). The lowest induction time was identified in the group W3 while the highest one was in the group W1. The lowest recovery time occurred after 73.2±3.83 sec in the group W3 and the highest one was 136±31.46 sec in the group W1. The recovery times were increased with increasing the concentration of 2-phenoxyethanol in the group W1. However, recovery times in the groups W2 and W3 were significantly longer than observed in W1, generally. Besides, it was indicated that fish size affected induction times and recovery times. As a result of the present study, the most appropriate concentrations were determined as 0.4 mL L-1 at weights of 100-400 g while 0.5 mL L-1 at weights of 400-600 g for 2-phenoxyethanol in Salmo munzuricus broodstock.

Korkmaz, Volkan; Güngördü, Abbas; Ozmen, Murat
This study evaluated the toxic effects and recovery patterns in zebrafish (Danio rerio) after exposure to phosalone-based (PBP) and cypermethrin-based (CBP) pesticides. Initially, the 96 h LC50 values of the pesticides were calculated as being 5.35 µg of active ingredient (AI) L−1 for CBP and 217 µg AI L−1 for PBP based on measured concentrations. Accordingly, experimental groups were exposed to three sublethal concentrations of pesticides for 96 h, separately, and then zebrafish were transferred to pesticide-free conditions for 10 and 20 days recovery periods. Biochemical markers were assessed including carboxylesterase (CaE), acetylcholinesterase (AChE), glutathione S-transferase (GST), lactate dehydrogenase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, alanine and aspartate aminotransferase (ALT, AST) activities after the exposure and recovery periods. Also, the pesticide concentrations in test water were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis. Our results showed that AChE and CaE activities were significantly inhibited and GST was induced by both pesticides after 96 h exposure. For PBP exposure, the decreases for GST induction and CaE inhibition showed a partial recovery in pesticide-free conditions. However, the decreases in AChE activity for CBP exposure and insufficient increases in same enzyme activity for PBP exposure after 20 days in pesticide-free conditions indicated that the projected recovery period was not enough to the recovery of AChE activities and for the improvement of fish health.

Akyuz, Emre; Celik, Erkan; Celik, Metin
This paper aims to conduct a practical application for human reliability assessment during operating procedures of an emergency fire pump on-board ship. A systematic human error prediction is performed for designated tasks during operational procedures of the emergency fire pump since human error can be regarded as one of the major factors contributing accidents at sea. Hence, human reliability performance is evaluated to enhance fire safety management in operational level on-board ship. In the paper, marine-specific error producing conditions are adopted under fuzzy sets environment. To enhance consistency of research and minimise subjectivity during expert's judgement stage, the paper is supported with a dominance factor which is used to adjust the impact level of expert's judgments in the aggregation stage of the methodology. The outcomes of the paper provide valuable contributions to the safety managers and technical superintends to monitor fire safety management and crew reliability performance.

Maslinic acid (2α,3β-dihydroxyolean-12-en-28-oic acid) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenic compound. Maslinic acid is gradually gaining attention as an excellent pharmacologically active product because of its premium biological properties. In this review we will focus on chemopreventive properties of Maslinic acid against different cancers. Seemingly, available data is limited and we have yet to unravel how Maslinic acid therapeutically targeted oncogenic cell signal transduction cascades in different cancers. Moreover, there are visible knowledge gaps about the ability of Maslinic acid to modulate oncogenic and tumor suppressor microRNAs in various cancers.

Özdemir, Hakan; Içten, Bülent Murat; Doğan, Akar
In recent years the use of woven composites in structural applications has increased rapidly due to the advantages it offers such as easy handling, dimensional stability, deep drawing shape-ability, enhanced toughness and increased impact resistance. Mechanical properties in textile composites are closely connected with the textile reinforcement's internal structure. This paper reports and discusses a study of the tensile and impact properties of the twill and twill derivative woven fabric reinforced composites. Tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and elongation at break values of the composites were found by tensile tests. In addition impact tests are performed on specimens of woven fabric reinforced composite laminates in order to measure impact strength and characterize damage mechanisms at diverse impact energies. The experimental results reveal that the average float length and weave interlacing coefficient, which are determined by weave pattern, significantly affect the tensile and impact properties of the composites. It is observed that 3/1 twill woven fabric reinforced composite showed the best performance in tensile tests along warp and weft directions. It is also observed that 3/1 twill woven fabric reinforced composite has the lowest impact strengths at the highest deflections; whereas, 3/3 twill woven fabric reinforced composite has the highest impact strengths at the lowest deflections.

In this study, the effects of some plant hydrosols (distilled plant waters) based upon some hematological parameters and Nitroblue Tetrazolium (NBT) activities in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio Linnaeus, 1758) infected with Yersinia ruckeri were investigated. In the trial, it was utilized totally 200 common carps with 54.3±6.7 g mean live weight and 15.7±1.8 cm mean total lenght. The 10% rate of the common yarrow (Achillea millefolium Linnaeus) hydrosol; 0.5% rate of the cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum Blume) hydrosol; and 5% rate of the rosemary (Rosemarinus officinalis Linnaeus) hydrosol were applied to fish as a bath treatment. The erythrocyte (RBC), leukocyte count (WBC), hematocrit value (HCT), haemoglobin amount (Hg), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and activities of NBT in the blood samples taken from the caudal vena of the control and experimental fish groups were analyzed in the 7 th , 14 th , and 21 st days of the exposure treatment. At the end of the research, HCT, Hg, RBC, WBC, MCH and MCV values decreased in the C-2 Group (the control group contain pathogen) compared to the C-1 Group (the control group no contain pathogen), except MCHC value. The NBT activities in the C-1 Groups increased at the 14 th day, but decreased quite a few at the 21 st day. It has been consequently reached the conclusion that the bath treatments of the some plant hydrosols might be beneficial in increasing of antibacterial properties and in strengthening of defense mechanisms of common carp against Y. ruckeri pathogen.

In our study we studied pollution and heavy metal fractions in the Golden Horn (Istanbul, Turkey). This area has been exposed to domestic and industrial pollution for many years. Concentrations of Zn, Cr, Cu, Pb, Cd, and Ni heavy metals were determined in the study that was conducted to monitor the current state of pollution and changing conditions in the polluted estuary. Mean heavy metal concentrations were found as: Zn 70-260, Cr 26-110, Cu 70-135, Pb 8-50, Cd 0.1-2, and Ni 10-38 mg/kg. Results of the analysis showed that metal concentrations were usually low, indicating that the sediment was not too polluted in the present case. The range of ratios, different fractions of metal concentrations, and total metal concentrations in the samples were critical for potential toxicity and mobility of metals. Results of the analysis showed that heavy metal fractions in the sediment were usually found in residual forms. The values obtained in the study were also compared with the literature. It was found that surface sediments in the Golden Horn were less polluted than other areas. Establishment of sewer collectors and wastewater treatment plants has improved the heavy metal levels in the sediment.

The 96 hour LC50 value of CPF on C. carpio was calculated to as 0.230 mg/L. The fishes were exposed to sublethal concentration of chlorpyrifos (1/8 of LC50 value: 0.029 mg/L), and Tunceli garlic (20 and 40 g/kg diet) was simultaneously administered for 21 days. Blood samples were taken from the fishes at 7, 14 and 21 days and analysed to determine the Hb levels, the NBT activity and the TI content. There was a significant decrease in the Hb level, the NBT activity and the TI content of CPF-treated fish. However, Tunceli garlic reversed the Hb level, the NBT activity and the TI content. In conclusion, this study demonstrated that CPF had a negative effect on the immunological values of the fish. The simultaneous administration of Tunceli garlic was neutralised CPF-induced toxicity.

Gul, Muhammet; Ak, M. Fatih
The concept of risk assessment has been introduced as an examination of safety in the workplace to enable assessments as to whether sufficient precautions have been taken or if more should be done to prevent potential harm. Hazardous industries have faced serious fatalities related to work, workplaces, and workers as a consequence of their high-risk processes. Therefore, in this work, a novel and comparative methodology for quantifying risk ratings in occupational health and safety risk assessment is proposed. A 5 × 5 risk matrix is initially determined, and the fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) method is then applied to rank identified hazards. As a novelty to the knowledge, two parameters of the 5 × 5 matrix method, likelihood and severity, are subjectively assessed by occupational health and safety experts, and then importance levels for these parameters are determined using the Pythagorean fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (PFAHP). In the proposed approach, analysts use linguistic terms and Pythagorean fuzzy sets, which provide greater independence in their evaluations. An outline that enables comparison of the results of this study with the circumcenter of centroids method and the fuzzy AHP-fuzzy VIKOR integrated method in quantifying risk ratings is also provided. In order to present the practicality of this work, a case study in an underground copper and zinc mine is carried out.

Objective: The study aimed to determine the practices used by breastfeeding mothers to wean their children from the breast. Method: This qualitative–quantitative research was conducted with mothers whose children were registered the pediatric clinics of a state hospital between June and September 2016. In accordance with a purposeful sampling method, 232 mothers of children between the ages of 2 and 5 years were included in the study. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire with demographic characteristics of mothers as well as their weaning practices. The data obtained were analyzed with a computer-assisted program using number and percentage distributions. Results: The mean breastfeeding duration was 19.00 ± 7.11 months. It was determined that the majority of mothers (56.5%) used traditional methods for weaning their children. These included applying substances with a bad taste (58.1%) to their breasts, covering their breasts with various materials (26.2%) to make the child not want to nurse anymore, and using a pacifier or feeding bottle (9.2%) to substitute for the mother's breast. Conclusions: It was observed that more than half of the mothers were used some traditional practices that could cause trauma in their children, instead of natural weaning.

In this research, from 10% to 40% by weight of hydrolyzed powder coating recyclates were used as filler in polypropylene (PP). Firstly, PP and filler were dry-mixed and then, in order to get a homogeneous mixture, were extruded at 180°C. The resulting compounds were cooled and granulated, and by use of an injection molding machine at 180–200°C, standard tensile test bars were produced. Tensile stress, three-point bending strength, and izod impact strength of these specimens containing different types of filler and different filler concentrations were tested. The results are presented, and the effects of type and content of hydrolyzed powder coating waste on the mechanical properties of polypropylene are discussed. Also, the change in melt flow index of polypropylene as a function of filler content is analyzed. Furthermore, the bonding mechanism of filler and matrix material was examined by electron microscopy.

The use of pesticides has been increased along with increasing the farming activities and has caused environmental impacts deleteriously. In particular, non-target organisms including fish can be affected by toxic effects of pesticides. Therefore, the impacts of malathion (MTN) on oxidative stress and sperm quality were investigated in vitro. The MTN concentrations used on this study were 0 (control), 75, 100, and 125 μg/L. Lipid peroxidation (MDA), non-enzymatic (GSH), and enzymatic (SOD, GSH-Px, and CAT) activities in spermatozoa were examined for determination of oxidative stress status. Our findings showed that motility rate and period of sperm cells significantly decreased with exposure to MTN. Biochemical assays revealed that CAT activity and levels of MDA, GSH increased in spermatozoa based on concentration while activity of GSH-Px and SOD decreased. Consequently, spermatozoa were highly sensitive to MTN exposure. MTN has disruptive effects on sperm quality and caused to oxidative stress in spermatozoa.
