    The in vitro effect of Lambda-cyhalothrin on quality and antioxidant responses of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss spermatozoa

    Kutluyer, Filiz; Erisir, Mine; Benzer, Fulya; Ögretmen, Fatih; Inanan, Burak Evren

    There is little information in the scientific literature about effect of in vitro exposure of fish spermatozoa to pesticides. In vitro effect of Lambda-cyhalothrin (La) on sperm quality and oxidative stress has not been fully explored yet. The effects of LCT, which is a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide, on quality and oxidative stress of spermatozoa were investigated in vitro due to extensively use to control a wide range of insect pests in agriculture, public health, and homes and gardens. To explore the potential in vitro toxicity of La, fish spermatozoa were incubated with different concentrations of LCT (0.6, 1.2 and 2.4 mu g/L) for 2 h. Reduced glutathione (GSH), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in spermatozoa were analyzed for determination of oxidant and antioxidant balance. Our results indicated that the percentage and duration of sperm motility significantly decreased with exposure to LCT. Activity of GSH-Px and MDA (P < 0.05) and GSH levels (P < 0.05) increased in a concentration-dependent manner while CAT activity decreased (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the oxidant and antioxidant status and sperm quality were affected by increasing concentrations of LCT. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    Influence of Alpha and Gamma-Iron Oxide Nanoparticles on Marine Microalgae Species

    Demir, Veysel; Ates, Mehmet; Arslan, Zikri; Camas, Mustafa; Celik, Fatih; Bogatu, Corneliu; Can, Safak Seyhaneyildiz

    The effects of alpha-iron oxide (alpha-Fe2O3) and gamma-iron oxide (gamma-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (NPs) on marine microalgae species (Nannochloropsis sp. and Isochrysis sp.) were investigated in this study. Both Fe2O3 NPs covered the surface of algae with the agglomerates of the nanoparticles. This form of physical NP toxicity significantly decreased the sizes of phytoplankton. Both NPs were toxic to the tested algal species, while alpha-Fe2O3 showed less toxicity than gamma-Fe2O3 NPs for both algal species. A comparative analysis of growth data of the two algal species treated with alpha-Fe2O3 or gamma-Fe2O3 NPs revealed that Isochrysis sp. are more sensitive than Nannochloropsis sp. Toxicity of these widely used NPs to primary producers forming the base of the food chain in aquatic environments might result in widespread adverse effects on aquatic environmental health.

    Investigation of the Optical Properties of the Solutions of the Tetraaquabis(saccharinato)metal(II)dihydrate [Metal: Co(II) and NMI)] Complexes at Different Molarity and Volume of Stock Solutions

    Adiguzel, Ragip; Gunduz, Bayram; Turan, Nevin; Topcu, Yildiray

    We investigated the optical properties and the transmittance characterizations of the stock solutions of the Co (II) and Ni(II) complexes of Saccharin and determined the molar extinction coefficients at different molarity. The molar extinction coefficients (epsilon) values of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes in the first region decrease with increasing molarity, and the e values of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes at lower wavelength are higher than that of the values at higher wavelength. The absorption band edge values of the Co(II) complex shift from 3.584 to 3.139 eV with the increasing molarity, while the absorption band edge values of the Ni(II) complex shift from 3.574 to 3.493 eV with the increasing molarity. The plots of refractive index of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes consist of two anomalous (abnormal) dispersion regions and one normal dispersion region. The direct energy-gap of the Co(II) complex can be more decreased with molarity. The absorbance, molar extinction coefficients, refractive index values of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes decrease, while the average transmittance in the visible region, direct optical band-gap values of the Co(II) and Ni(II) complexes increase with increasing volume of DMF solvent or decreasing volume of the solutions of the Coal) and Ni(II) complexes.

    Polat, Ridvan; Cakilcioglu, Ugur; Kaltalioglu, Kaan; Ulusan, Musa Denizhan; Turkmen, Zafer

    Ethnopharmacological relevance: This paper provides significant ethnobotanical information on medicinal plants in Espiye in the Black Sea Region. Recording such data calls for urgency. This is the first ethnobotanical study in which statistical calculations about plants are carried out by means of FIC method in Northern (Espiye-Giresun) part of Turkey. This study aims to identify the wild plants collected for medicinal purposes by locals of Espiye which is located in the Black Sea Region of Turkey, and to identify the uses and local names of these wild plants. Materials and methods: A field study had been carried out for a period of approximately 2 years (20122014). During this period, information about medicinal use of 55 wild and 15 cultivated plants were collected. Demographic characteristics of participants, names of the local plants, their utilized parts and preparation methods were investigated and recorded. Through face-to-face interviews, we identified and recorded demographic characteristics of the respondents. We interviewed 128 persons who are over the age of 29. The plant taxa were collected within the scope of the study; and herbarium materials were prepared. In addition, the relative significance value of the taxa was determined, and informant consensus factor (FIC) was calculated for the medicinal plants included in the study. Results: We have found out in the literature review of the plants included in our study that 70 plant taxa are already used for medicinal purposes while 3 plants are not available among the records in the literature. The most common families are Asteraceae, Rosaceae, Lamiaceae, Malvaceae, and Ericaceae. We include in our study and report for the first time the medicinal uses of Alchemilla crinita Buser, Stachys sylvatica L., and Thymus leucotrichus Hal. var. leucotrichus Hal. Names of local plants in Turkey vary especially due to vernaculars. The plants that the locals of Espiye use are called with the same or different local names in various parts of Anatolia. Conclusion: We found out that locals living in the research area use for therapeutic purpose 70 plants taxa which belong to 36 families. Turkish citizens with different ethnic backgrounds took the questionnaire. These people use these wild plants in treatment of several diseases. Comparison of the data obtained in this study with the experimental data obtained in the previous laboratory studies on the wild plants which grow in Espiye proved ethnobotanical usages to a great extent. Literature review indicated that the therapeutic plants that grow in Espiye are used in different parts of the world for the treatment of similar diseases. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.

    Accumulation and Toxicity of CuO and ZnO Nanoparticles Through Waterborne and Dietary Exposure of Goldfish (Carassius auratus)

    Ates, Mehmet; Arslan, Zikri; Demir, Veysel; Daniels, James; Farah, Ibrahim O.

    Dietary and waterborne exposure to copper oxide (CuO) and zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) was conducted using a simplified model of an aquatic food chain consisting of zooplankton (Artemia salina) and goldfish (Carassius auratus) to determine bioaccumulation, toxic effects, and particle transport through trophic levels. Artemia contaminated with NPs were used as food in dietary exposure. Fish were exposed to suspensions of the NPs in waterborne exposure. ICP-MS analysis showed that accumulation primarily occurred in the intestine, followed by the gills and liver. Dietary uptake was lower, but was found to be a potential pathway for transport of NPs to higher organisms. Waterborne exposure resulted in about a 10-fold higher accumulation in the intestine. The heart, brain, and muscle tissue had no significant Cu or Zn. However, concentrations in muscle increased with NP concentration, which was ascribed to bioaccumulation of Cu and Zn released from NPs. Free Cu concentration in the medium was always higher than that of Zn, indicating CuO NPs dissolved more readily. ZnO NPs were relatively benign, even in waterborne exposure (p0.05). In contrast, CuO NPs were toxic. Malondialdehyde levels in the liver and gills increased substantially (p<0.05). Despite lower Cu accumulation, the liver exhibited significant oxidative stress, which could be from chronic exposure to Cu ions. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Environ Toxicol 30: 119-128, 2015.

    Comparison of effects of mild heat combined with lactic acid on Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli O157:H7, O103, O111, O145 and O26 inoculated to spinach and soybean sprout

    Dikici, Abdullah; Koluman, Ahmet; Calicioglu, Mehmet

    The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of lactic acid against Shiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (O157:1-17 and non-O157 serogroups including O103, O111, O145 and O26) at different conditions. Soybean sprouts and spinach leaves inoculated with each serogroup of E. coli (similar to 7.00 + 1.00 log(10) cfu/g) were treated with the lactic acid solutions at different concentrations (0% (control), 1.5%, 2.0%, or 2.5%) and at different temperatures (20, 40, or 50 degrees C) for 3 min. Results indicated that regardless of the treatment temperature, no significant reduction in the numbers of any serogroup occurred in the control group (0%) (p > 0.05). However, lactic acid at concentration of 1.5%, 2% and 2.5% was found to be effective against all organisms tested. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between E. coli O157:H7 and non-O157 STEC serogroups at any treatment group. The highest reductions (ca. 400 log(10) cfu/g) of all serotypes in both produces were observed after immersing into 2.5% lactic acid at 50 degrees C. The results of this study showed that decontamination of fresh produces such as spinach and soybean sprout with lactic acid solutions prepared at mild temperatures (40 degrees C and 50 degrees C) might be an effective safety measure in preventing public health risks associated with these products contaminated with STEC.

    Evaluation of Alpha and Gamma Aluminum Oxide Nanoparticle Accumulation, Toxicity, and Depuration in Artemia salina Larvae

    Ates, Mehmet; Demir, Veysel; Arslan, Zikri; Daniels, James; Farah, Ibrahim O.; Bogatu, Corneliu

    In this study, Artemia salina (crustacean filter feeders) larvae were used as a test model to investigate the toxicity of aluminum oxide nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) on marine microorganisms. The uptake, toxicity, and elimination of -Al2O3 (50 nm and 3.5 m) and -Al2O3 (5 nm and 0.4 m) NPs were studied. Twenty-four and ninety-six hour exposures of different concentrations of Al2O3 NPs to Artemia larvae were conducted in a seawater medium. When suspended in water, Al2O3 NPs aggregated substantially with the sizes ranging from 6.3 nm to >0.3 mu m for spherical NPs and from 250 to 756 nm for rod-shaped NPs. The phase contrast microscope images showed that NPs deposited inside the guts as aggregates. Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry analysis showed that large particles (3.5 m -Al2O3) were not taken up by Artemia, whereas fine NPs (0.4 m -Al2O3) and ultra-fine NPs (5 nm -Al2O3 and 50 nm -Al2O3) accumulated substantially. Differences in toxicity were detected as changing with NP size and morphology. The malondialdehyde levels indicated that smaller -Al2O3 (5 nm) NPs were more toxic than larger -Al2O3 (0.4 mu m) particulates in 96 h. The highest mortality was measured as 34% in 96 h for -Al2O3 NPs (5 nm) at 100 mg/L (LC50 > 100 mg/L). -Al2O3 NPs were more toxic than -Al2O3 NPs at all conditions. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    Aylaz, Rukuye; Karadag, Ezgi; Isik, Kevser; Yildirim, Melek

    AimThis study was planned to assess the levels of fatigue and social support in patients with diabetes and to determine the relationship between fatigue and social support in these patients. MethodsA descriptive design was used in this research. The study was conducted between March and June 2013 with 300 sampled patients from 1657 studied participants with type 2 diabetes who presented to the diabetes polyclinics of Malatya State Hospital and Inonu University, Turgut Ozal Medical Center. The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support and the Fatigue Severity Scale were used in the study. ResultsWhen the correlation analysis carried out between fatigue severity and social support in patients with diabetes was examined, a significant relationship was found in the negative direction between fatigue severity and family support (r=-0.145, P<0.05) as well as overall support (r=-0.132, P<0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between the Fatigue Severity Scale score and sex, education status, occupation, cohabitation, presence of complications, and hemoglobin A1c (P<0.05). Family support was significant only with respect to marital status, occupation, and being employed (P<0.05). ConclusionIt was seen at the end of this research that social support reduced the level of fatigue in a number of patients with type 2 diabetes. Nurses of diabetes patients should carry out fatigue assessments routinely and reflect these in nursing care plans by also associating them with the social support sources of the patient.

    Determination and Health Risk Assessment of Heavy Metals in Drinking Water of Tunceli, Turkey

    Demir, V.; Dere, T.; Ergin, S.; Cakir, Y.; Celik, F.

    Tunceli, Turkey is one of the small cities in the Eastern Anatolian Region with substantial natural, cultural and historical heritage that is suitable to be a slow city. Water sources are abundant in the area due to rain and heavy snowfall in the mountains, which seeps into the ground or flows into the rivers. Therefore monitoring and conservation of city's drinking water quality is one of the main issues in the city. The present study was conducted to investigate several heavy metals and cyanide, arsenic, and selenium concentrations of drinking water samples taken from 100 different locations in the city and towns of Tunceli, Turkey during the years 2011 and 2012. In three locations, high levels of copper was found with a range of 2.1-11.5 mg/L, and high levels of arsenic was detected in five locations with a range of 10.5-78.0 mu g/L, exceeding the action levels for copper and arsenic. For health risk assessment, the average daily dose and hazard quotient (HQ) were calculated. The region mean values of HQ were found above 1 for arsenic in the samples collected from Mazgirt, while HQ values were below 1 in the rest of the samples.

    Trichlorfon-induced haematological and biochemical changes in Cyprinus carpio: ameliorative effect of propolis

    Yonar, M. Enis; Yonar, Serpil Mise; Pala, Aysegul; Silici, Sibel; Saglam, Naim

    Trichlorfon is among the most commonly used products to treat fish parasites in aquaculture. We investigated the effectiveness of propolis in alleviating the toxicity of trichlorfon on haematological and oxidant/antioxidant parameters in carp Cyprinus carpio. Fish were exposed to sublethal concentrations (11 and 22 mg l(-1)) of trichlorfon, and propolis (10 mg kg(-1) of fish weight) was simultaneously administered. At the end of 14 d administration, blood and tissue (liver, kidney, gill) samples were collected. Haematological changes (red and white blood cell count, haemoglobin concentration, haematocrit level and erythrocyte indices: mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular haemoglobin and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration) were determined in the blood samples, while antioxidant parameters (malondialdehyde and reduced glutathione levels and superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase activities) were evaluated in the liver, kidney and gill samples. Trichlorfon led to negative alterations in the haematological and antioxidant parameters investigated. The administration of propolis alleviated this effect and suggests that fish treated with trichlorfon improve their physiological status when fed a propolis-supplemented diet.

    The effect of case-based instruction on 10th grade students' understanding of gas concepts

    Yalcinkaya, Eylem; Boz, Yezdan

    The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of case-based instruction on remedying 10th grade students' alternative conceptions related to gas concepts. 128 tenth grade students from two high schools participated in this study. In each school, one of the classes was randomly assigned as the experimental group and the other class, instructed by the same chemistry teacher, was assigned as the control group. The students in the experimental groups were instructed by case-based instruction based on conceptual change conditions while the control group students received traditionally designed chemistry instruction. As pre-tests, the science process skills test, the attitude and motivation towards chemistry and the gas concept test were applied to both groups of students. As a post-test, the gas concept test was administered to both groups of students to determine their alternative conceptions and understanding of gas concepts. One-way ANOVA was used to assess the effect of case-based instruction on students' understanding of gas concepts. The results revealed that case-based instruction was an effective method for overcoming students' alternative conceptions about the gas concepts.

    Determination of Volatile Compounds of Sucuk with Different Orange Fiber and Fat Levels

    Yalinkiliç, Baris; Kaban, Guzin; Ertekin, Ozlem; Kaya, Mukerrem

    In this study, the effects of fat (10, 15 and 20%) and orange fiber (0, 2 and 4%) levels on volatile compounds of sucuk (Turkish dry-fermented sausage) were investigated. The volatile compound profile of sucuk samples was analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) by using a solid phase microextraction (SPME). 75 volatile compounds were identified in the sucuk samples. The volatile compounds identified were 11 aldehydes, 7 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 2 acids, 10 esters, 1 furan, 5 alcohols, 8 aromatic hydrocarbons, 6 ketones, 6 sulphur compounds, and 19 terpenes. It was determined that the use of orange fiber had significant (P<0.05) effects on a few volatile compounds (allyl methyl sulfide, copaene and caryophyllene). Alpha-thujene was significantly affected by fat level (P<0.05). Fat level also showed very significant effect on p-xylene and allyl methyl sulfide (P<0.01). As result, orange fiber and fat level had no significant effects on volatile profile of sucuk samples.

    A COMPARATIVE STUDY ON THE EFFECTS OF LEAD AND ZEOLITE ON SERUM BIOCHEMISTRY OF CARP FISH, Cyprinus Carpio Linnaeus, 1758 (Cyprinidae)

    Mutlu, Ekrem; Demir, Tugba; Kutlu, Bann

    One of the pollutants leading to heavy metal pollution is the lead element. The studies on exposure of fish to lead have shown that this exposure leads to negative effects on body weight, and digestive enzymes and lipase. In humans, the symptoms of chronic lead toxicity are renal malfunction, anemia, brain and liver damage, cancer, hyperactivity, and general psychological impairment. For struggling with this heavy metal contamination, we have a useful tool named Zeolite. Zeolites are used in many fields such as agriculture, metal industry, energy sector, manufacturing industry, water treatment, animal husbandry, struggling with environmental pollution, and etc. In this study, we utilized the biochemical parameters of carp fish (Cyprinus carpio) in order to reveal the effects of zeolite on fish health and production. The experiments were performed within 100 L glass aquariums with 85x40x30 dimensions. The study was planned for 3 different durations as 35 days, 90 days, and 120 days. The subjects were divided into 4 groups for each of experiment durations. The groups were named Pb(NO3)(2) group, Pb(NO3)(2) + Zeolite group, Zeolite group, and control group. At the end of each of the experiment period (on 35(th), 90(th), and 120(th) days), the fish in groups were weighed, and the average growth rates of each of the groups were calculated. The parameters used in blood analyses are glucose (GLU), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total protein (TP), albumin (ALB), globulin (GLB), creatinine (CR), total bilirubin (TBIL), uric acid ([JA), and direct bilirubin (DBlL).

    A study of the place and importance of women in politics: The case of Tunceli

    Menteşe, Sabit

    This study has attempted to determine the place and importance of women in politics in Tunceli as perceived by women in Tunceli. For this purpose, the study has determined that where women see themselves in politics, where they want to be and the obstacles to women&amp;#8217;s participation in political life by collecting data through semi- structured questions. Data have been collected from 195 women of 18 years and over from Tunceli by using the random sampling method. According to the findings, women in Tunceli do not see themselves as playing a significant role to get elected, but participating in political events. It has been concluded that women in Tunceli where majority of people identify themselves as Alevi/Kızılbaş believe that this identity has a positive impact on their freedom and participation in political life. Many women in Tunceli stated that they would like to participate in politics as a parliamenter. This study has arrived to the conclusion that in Tunceli even though there is no discrimination between genders, the current political situation in Turkey affects Tunceli therefore women cannot get rid of being the object of the politics. This study has arrived to the conclusion that women in Tunceli as well as in Turkey and all over the world may get rid of being object of the politics and become a subject only if it is considered as a democratic problem to be solved.

    This study has been conducted to assess the perceived service quality of Turkish Railways Corporation (TCDD), which is in the process of reorganization. For achievement of the purpose of the study, the relationships between service quality and demographic characteristics of customers have been examined and the results have been compared to the service quality measurements done in 2004. Perceived service quality is measured using widely accepted SERVQUAL scale that is developed by Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry. Data has been collected from primary sources. Respondents have been given the statements in proportional way. Data analysis is performed by reliability checks, computation of means, t-test for independent samples and finally ANOVA (Analysis of Variance). Using the results, the most important dimension for respondents is selected among the five dimensions of service quality. It has been observed that there are meaningful improvements in the each of service quality dimensions from angel of the amount of investments. However, it is also seen that the improvements are not enough and customers expect more than current service quality in all the dimensions of service quality.

    Ecological sustainability and degrowth

    Turgut, Gönül

    Ecological sustainability recently has become a crucial matter of discussion. Thesustainable development, which has been denoted as a solution to the threat of theecological crisis, endorses the idea that the ecological problems can be overcome withinthe limits of the prevailing economic paradigm. On the contrary, this prevailing paradigmis based on the increasing production and consumption which jeopardise a possiblesolution. De-growth literature and movement is an emerging debate on the questions thatarise from the ecological sustainability perspective and it represents an alternativeconceptualisation of the ecological problem. In this point of view, the solution to ecologicalproblem is only possible within a new social order that is based on less production and lessconsumption, namely de-growth. In this manner, also it might be possible to alleviate thesocial inequalities globally.

    This study was aimed to investigate erythrocyte arginase activity and plasma nitric oxide (NO)levels in dystocia and normal calving of cows and compare these parameters. The study materialconsisted of 16 cows, 3 8 years old, brought for parturition at term to the Clinic of Obstetrics andGynecology at F ı rat University. Blood samples of cows normally calving and dystocia were takeninto blood collecting tubes with heparin from the jugular vein in the first half hour after delivery andcentrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes. Plasma NO levels and erythrocyte arginase activities weremeasured. The erythrocyte arginase activity in cows normally calving was significantly increasedcompared to that in cows with dystocia (P&lt;0.01), and the plasma NO level in cows normally calvingwas significantly decreased compared to that in cows with dystocia (P&lt;0.05). It was concluded thatthe lower erythrocyte arginase activity and higher plasma NO level in cows might play a role indystocia.
