Análisis bioquímico, composicional y espectral del aceite de semilla de isot (pimiento Urfa) y evaluación de sus características funcionales

In this study, the physicochemical, functional, and antimicrobial properties of pepper seed oil (PSO) were determined. PSO was subjected to differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), fatty acid composition, carotenoid, capsaicin, and tocopherol analyses. LC-ESI-MS/MS and NMR were used to characterize and quantify phytochemicals. Resveratrol, luteolin, and 4-hydroxycinnamic acid were the principal phenolics in PSO. A high concentration of unsaturated fatty acids (85.3%), especially linoleic acid (73.7%) is present in PSO. Capsaicin, dihydrocapsaicin, α-tocopherol, δ-tocopherol, zeaxanthin, and capsanthin were determined in PSO at concentrations of 762.92, 725.73, 62.40, 643.23, 29.51, 16.83 ppm, respectively. PSO displayed inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase rather than α-amylase. The antimicrobial activity of PSO was tested against Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus subsp. aureus, Aspergillus brasiliensis and Candida albicans. The antimicrobial potential of PSO was expressed as minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and inhibition zone (IZ) diameter. Polyunsaturated fatty acid, capsaicin, carotenoid, tocopherol, resveratrol contents; the antioxidant, α-glucosidase inhibitory and antimicrobial activities of PSO indicated its nutritional value and health promoting nature for the well-being of humans.En este estudio se determinaron las propiedades fisicoquímicas, funcionales y antimicrobianas del aceite de semilla de pimiento (ASP).

Estimated the amount of air void in concrete using image processing technique

Image processing methods have been widely used in civil engineering recently. Image processing is reproducing the processes people got via their own vision system by digitizing. The aim of this study is to define air void values of different concrete specifies with image processing methods. With this purpose seven different concrete series have been produced by using different water/cement rates. Physical and mechanical tests have been applied on the samples acquired. Additively air void ratios have been calculated after section images obtained from hardened concrete surfaces are processed. Relations between the results obtained as a result of image processing method and pressure resistance values of the acquired concrete samples have been examined. Consequentially it has been observed that air void values in the concrete obtained by using image processing techniques may be estimated with a high correlation

Reflections of the Ottoman Architecture on the Balkan Countries: Examples of Romania- Bucharest, Yas, Constanta

In 1453, Ottoman that became the empire with the conquest of İstanbul, governed many countries for many years. At the centuries-long reign, Ottoman didn’t limited the boundaries not only with Anatolia but also it managed to rule over a large number of countries. .While it was creeating architecture of some countries, it brought innovations to some countries, too. Thus the architecture acted as a bridge from past to present and it provided culture transition. In these countries, a large number of structures which were for social, cultural, commercial, religious and educational were built with Ottoman architecture. Even rare of these structures survive today; somehow, architectural heritage of the Ottoman Empire was moved to the present day. Turkish structures in the Balkans form a part of Ottoman Turkish architecture in terms of plan, purpose of usage, facade and decoration. In the study, reflections of Ottoman architecture on the structures which take place in Bucharest, Constanta and Yaş the cities of Romania, which located within the boundaries of Ottoman and form the core with the unification of Wallachia and Moldavia, will be examined. The data obtained as a result of the study will bring out both the importance of the structure in the history of architecture with synthesis studies which are related with contrastive research of different structures in the same period and similar structures in different periods, and it will contribute to determine living standards of the ages and the degree of development

Microbiological, physicochemical properties and biogenic amine contents of the strained yoghurts from Turkish local markets

Thirty three strained yoghurt samples were collected from local open markets in different provinces of Turkey (Afyon [AF], Aydın [AY], Burdur [B], Isparta [I] and Muğla [M]). Physicochemical and microbiological properties, as well as biogenic amine content, were examined in each of the samples. The dry matter (17.90 to 26.44%), fat (5.51 to 10.44%), ash (0.65 to 1.48%), lactic acid (1.69 to 2.05 g l-1), salt (0.61 to 1.68%), pH (3.52 to 3.94), protein (5.73 to 8.57%) and syneresis (1.67 to 9.22%) of samples differed as indicated. The mean of the lactobacilli counts ranged from 6.63 to 8.35 Log10 CFU g-1, lactococci ranged from 7.16 to 8.02 Log10 CFU g-1, while streptococci and propionic acid bacteria ranged from 6.71 to 7.27 and 5.60 to 8.38 Log10 CFU g-1, respectively. All the yoghurts were contaminated with fungi and coliforms at levels above the acceptable limits, indicating insufficient process hygiene and also raising concerns of consumer safety. Tryptamine is the only biogenic amine determined in all yoghurt samples. Cadaverine, putrescine, tyramine and b-phenylethylamine were not detected in any of the samples.Key words: Strained yoghurt, physicochemical properties, biogenic amine, tryptamine

Türk Mizah Dergiciliğinde Bir Örnek : Bizim Köylü

İkinci Dünya Savaşı'nın ardından Türkiye'de Tek Parti Yönetiminden çok partili demokrasiye geçiş için çalışmalar başladı. Uzun yıllar sessiz kalan muhalefet, demokratik ortamda daha fazla sesini duyurmaya başladı. Demokrat Parti bu muhalefetin sözcüsü haline geldi. Basın önemli ölçüde Demokrat Partiyi destekliyordu. 1945-1950 arası gelişen demokratik ortam ve toplumun desteğini alabilmek için CHP'nin basın kanununda yaptığı değişiklikle birçok gazete ve dergi yayın hayatına geçti. Bu dönemde yayın hayatına başlayan dergilerden biriside uzun süreli olarak devam edememiş olmasına rağmen Bizim Köylü'dür. Bizim Köylü, adlı mizah dergisi CHP iktidarına yönelik sert eleştiriler yayınlıyordu. Özellikle antidemokratik kanunlar, karaborsa, hayat pahalılığı, değişen sosyal yaşantının getirdiği yeni yaşam biçimleri dergi tarafından alaycı bir tavırla işleniyordu. Dergide özellikle hükümetin uygulamaları sert bir dille eleştiriliyordu. Karikatürler ve köylünün ağzından yorumlarla hükümeti eleştirerek aslında bir taraftan da halkın %80ini oluşturan köylünün desteğini de almayı amaçlıyordu. Bu makalede mizah dergiciliğinin tarihinde yer alan bir dergi incelenmişti

Non-Surgical Causes of Acute Abdominal Pain

Abdominal pain constitutes 5% of the causes of emergency admissions and is an important part in the practice of emergency services in all centers. Patients may suffer from acute surgical abdomen, acute abdomen with nonsurgical diseases or acute problems of chronic diseases. Abdominal pain is sometimes associated with acute trauma. Clinical assessment is a process where diagnosis and treatment must be done quickly and must be well managed. We have tried here to discuss the non-surgical causes of abdominal pain

Anılarda Mudanya Ateşkes Antlaşması

Mudanya Ateşkes Antlaşması, Türkiye ve İtilaf güçleri arasında 12 Ekim 1922'de imzalanmıştır. Yunanistan ise, 14 Ekim'de ateşkese razı oldu. Ateşkes antlaşmasının hükümlerine göre Yunanistan'ın işgali altında bulunan İstanbul ve Çanakkale boğazlarından Meriç nehri ve Edirne'ye kadarki Doğu Trakya'nın Türk egemenliğine bırakılması kabul edildi. Taraflar arasındaki son uzlaşmaya ise Lozan Konferansı'nda varıldı. Kasım 1922'den Temmuz 1923'e kadar devam eden Lozan Konferansı sonunda, Sevr Antlaşması'nı tanımayan Mustafa Kemal önderliğindeki Türkiye'nin yeni hükümeti Lozan Antlaşmasını imzaladı. Gerçekleri anlamının bir diğer yolu da anılar ve yaşam öykülerine bakmaktır. Bu çalışmada Mudanya Ateşkes Antlaşması'yla ilgili o dönemi yaşayanların anıları, hissettikleri ve yaşananlar üzerinden bir değerlendirme yapılacaktır

Analysing of the Relationship between Team Cohesion and Prosocial and Antisocial Behaviors of Athletes Taking Groundwork Training in Professional Football Teams

In this study, it was aimed to determine the relationship between team cohesion and prosocial and antisocial behaviors of football player candidates taking groundwork training in the professional football team of Kayserispor. The population of the study consisted of 172 football player candidates getting regular football training for at least 1 year in the Kayserispor football team and were in competition status, and the sample consisted of 104 volunteers. As data collection tools, “Personal Information Form”, “Youth Sport Environment Questionnaire” and “Prosocial and Antisocial Sports Participation Motives” were used. The data obtained in the study were analyzed in computer environment. Number, percentage, mean, standard deviation were used as descriptive statistical methods in the evaluation of the data. Pearson’s correlation was applied between the continuous variables of the study.Among the subtitles of youth athlete team cohesion; among the subtitles of task dimension and pro-social and anti-social behaviors, a moderate positive relationship between pro-social behavior towards teammate and a low level positive relationship between pro-social behavior against the opponent were detected. While a moderate negative relationship was detected between social behavior, there was no relationship between pro-social behavior to the opponent and anti-social behavior to the opponent, one of the subtitles of social dimension and pro-social and anti-social behavior. A low-level negative correlation was found between anti-social behavior towards teammate As a result, in Kayserispor football team, it has been observed that athletes who take groundwork training have a high level of cohesion both in terms of their duties and social aspects, they have positive attitudes and behaviors towards their teammates and the opponent both in or outside of the training or competition, regardless of the situation of the training or the competition, they think that they should stay away from humiliating and disabling attitudes and behaviors. It is thought that this is due to the strong emotional relationship among the team members and the high level of closeness to each other, and the respect they have for the opponent team players who are moving towards the same goal as themselves

Karcinom jezika s endobronhijalnom metastazom: rijedak slučaj

Endobronchial metastases of extrapulmonary malignant tumors are quite rare. We present a patient with endobronchial metastasis previously operated for tongue carcinoma. A 71-year-old female patient presented with the complaint of cough. She had a history of tongue carcinoma operation 2 years before. Chest x-ray revealed an air-fluid level in the lower zone of the right hemithorax. There was a big cavitary lesion in the right lower lobe and bilateral multiple nodular lesions, some of which had cavity formation on computed tomography. Bronchoscopy revealed a polypoid lesion with necrotic appearance and pathologic examination showed squamous cell carcinoma. The lesion was accepted as a metastasis of tongue carcinoma after evaluation of the materials taken from the tongue on previous operation. There was no finding suggestive of local recurrence; however, the patient died from hemoptysis and respiratory insufficiency. In conclusion, endobronchial metastasis should be considered in patients with extrapulmonary malignancies and bronchoscopic examination should be performed in such cases, even in the presence of atypical radiological findings.Endobronhijalne metastaze ekstrapulmonalnih zloćudnih tumora vrlo su rijetke. Prikazuje se bolesnica s endobronhijalnom metastazom, koja je prethodno operirana zbog karcinoma jezika. Bolesnica u dobi od 71 godine žalila se na kašalj. Anamneza je pokazala da je bolesnica bila operirana zbog karcinoma jezika dvije godine ranije. Rentgenografijom prsišta otkrivena je razina zraka i tekućine u donjem dijelu desnog hemitoraksa. Nađena je velika kavitarna lezija u desnom donjem režnju te obostrano višestruke nodularne lezije od kojih su neke pokazale stvaranje kaviteta na kompjutoriziranoj tomografiji. Bronhoskopski je otkrivena polipoidna lezija nekrotičnog izgleda, a patološki je opisana kao karcinom pločastih stanica. Nakon procjene materijala prethodno uzetog tijekom operacije jezika zaključeno je da lezija predstavlja metastazu podrijetlom iz karcinoma jezika. Nijedan nalaz nije upućivao na lokalni recidiv karcinoma, a bolesnica je umrla od hemoptize i respiracijske insuficijencije. U zaključku, na endobronhijalne metastaze treba misliti kod bolesnika s ekstrapulmonalnim zloćudnim bolestima i provesti bronhoskopski pregled, čak i kod atipičnih radioloških nalaza
