Priprema plana uzgajanja šuma u Turskoj: Sažetak primjera upravnog odjela Hisar šume

Forestry resources are managed by long, middle and short term national, regional and local scale plans, programs and special arrangements to consider international and national purposes. The smallest administrative and planning units of forest area in Turkey are the Forest Administration Chief Offices. Planning units are managed by forest management plans prepared in accordance with Ecosystem-based Multiple Use Forest Management principles. The application steps of forest management plans are the silvicultural plans. Although the preparation of silviculture plans in the last five-year period in Turkey is included in the planning process as a legal challenge, a definite standard cannot be formed in the preparation and application of the silviculture plans. In this article, silvicultural plan of Hisar Administration Chief Office selected as the pilot area in order to find solutions to the specified problems were prepared. The process of preparing silviculture plan has been introduced comprehensively. The process begins after the completion of forest management plans. Silviculture plan preparation process, the measurement and evaluation on the forest land, geographical database design, the preparation of silvicultural treatment prescriptions, the production of output such as table, graph and maps, and application, monitoring and evaluation are composed of stages.Šumskim resursima se upravlja dugoročnim, srednjoročnim i kratkoročnim nacionalnim, regionalnim i lokalnim planom, programom i posebnim uredbama, imajući u vidu međunarodne i nacionalne ciljeve.. U Turskoj je najmanja jedinica gospodarenja šumom šumski upravni odjel. Šumski upravnim odjelom se upravljaju na osnovi planova eksploatacije šuma koji se pripremaju prema načelima Višestrukog planiranja zasnovanog na Ekosustavu. Uprkos tome, što je u Turskoj u zadnjih pet godina proces pripreme planiranja šumskouzgojnih radova uvršten kao zakonska obveza, ipak u pogledu pripreme planova i njihove primjene nije se uspostavio jedan određeni standard. U ovom članku, s ciljem da se se iznađe rješenje za navedene probleme, sačinjen je plan šumskouzgojnih radova gdje je odabran šumski upravni odjel Hisar šume. Proces počinje nakon upotpunjavanja planova u vezi eksploatacije šume. Sastoji se iz sljedećih faza primjene i nadzora: radovi na terenu, izrada geografske baze podataka, priprema rješenja u pogledu intervencija kada se radi o uzgoju šuma, izrada tabela, grafikona i karata

Comparison of the Dietary Habits of Elite Turkish Male and Female Weightlifters

Nutritional habits affect performance directly or indirectly in weight class included sports. The aim of this study was to compare the dietary habits of elite female and male weightlifters. After getting official records of athletes from Turkish Weightlifting Federation, a survey was conducted on several factors of the athletes such as weight class, education level, national and international success, income level, weight reduction condition, whether the athlete has knowledge about nutrition, fluid intake, dietary approach before competitions, and type of ergogenic usage. The correlation analyses were completed to determine the relationship between the groups. One-way ANOVA was used to compare the groups. Fischer’s exact tests were calculated again to compare the dietary preferences between different groups. Results of this study showed that lower income, weight category, lower age and level of education of male weightlifters negatively affect the performance. Male weightlifters underestimate the importance of fluid intake and they consumed different types of diets. The use of ergogenic products in female weightlifters was differentiated according to their education levels, weight classes and the competition category. Again, the international female weightlifters consumed more ergogenic substance than national level weightlifters. Both male and female weightlifters showed no significant correlations between the performance variables and all other conditions. It can be suggested that the socio-economic status and education level related to sport nutrition in weightlifters should be increased for enhancing of the weightlifting performance

Evaluation of Artvin-Murgul black locust plantations in terms of biomass production, carbon storage, soil quality improvement and erosion control compared to adjacent grassland areas

Black locust plantations in Artvin-Murgul (established in 1996) were investigated for the purposes of: 1) wood production, 2) above- and belowground biomass, 3) carbon storage, 4) soil quality improvement, 5) erosion control and economic value. For these purposes, soil samples were taken from black locust plantation sites and adjacent grassland (control) sites, and soil respiration, soil infiltration, surface runoff, sediment removal, water holding capacity, soil organic matter, texture, pH, N, P, K, Ca, and Mg contents were determined in both areas. Sample trees were cut to determine aboveground biomass and carbon storage. Root samples were taken to determine root biomass and root carbon storage. Surface runoff and erosion were five-fold lower in black locust stands compared to controls (grasslands). Soil quality improvements in black locust areas were not significantly higher than in grasslands. Grasslands had higher soil respiration rates compared to black locust areas. Soil organic matter did not differ significantly between grasslands and black locust areas. Above- and belowground carbon storage were higher in black locust areas than in grassland

Protez kapak endokardit komplikasyonunun değerlendirilmesinde multimodal görüntülemenin artan değeri

A 47-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital with complaints of fever (38.3°C), palpitations, chills, and weakness. He had undergone a surgical graft interposition repair of the ascending aorta and aortic valve replacement (AVR) (No. 19; St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN, USA) of the bicuspid aortic valve with severe aortic stenosis and an ascending aortic aneurysm 2 years earlier. Laboratory tests indicated a high erythrocyte sedimentation rate and an elevated white blood count and C-reactive protein level

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OPEN AND CLOSED FLOATING KNEE INJURIES

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the functional outcomes between floating knee injuries with open femur and tibia fractures and closed floating knee injuries. Methods: Floating knee injuries (followed up and treated in our clinic) were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: floating knee injuries with open femur and tibia fractures (Group 1) and floating knee injuries with closed femur and tibia fractures (Group 2). Patients were compared according to their demographic characteristics and clinical and functional outcomes. Results: Of 52 study patients, 28 had Group 1 injuries and 24, Group 2 injuries. We found a statistically significant difference in length of hospital stay between the two groups (p = 0.01) and a statistically significant difference in Karlström-Olerud functional scores between the groups (p = 0.02). We found osteomyelitis in five (17%) patients in Group 1 and in one (4%) patient in Group 2. Conclusion: Patients with floating knee injuries and open fractures showed poorer outcomes than those with closed fractures. Those with open floating knee injuries show complications more often and longer hospital stays. Level of Evidence III, Therapeutic Studies Investigating the Results of Treatment

Impact of Elaeagnus angustifolia flour added to bio-yogurt on probiotic survival and monitoring of in vitro acid tolerance in synthetic gastric fluid

Abstract The present study aimed to investigate the effect of oleaster flour on Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus, and Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis in probiotic yogurt during its storage period and whether oleaster flour has a protective effect against gastric fluid for these probiotic bacteria. For that purpose, the effect of oleaster flour at different doses (1%, 2%, and 3% w/v) on the titratable acidity, pH, and microbiological properties was investigated throughout cold storage. In addition, on the first day of storage, in vitro tolerance of probiotics in pH adjusted to (pH 2.0-ph 4.0) simulated gastric fluid was investigated for 1, 60, 120, and 180 min. Yogurt with a higher dosage (2%-3%) of oleaster flour had a higher pH and lower titratable acidity. Moreover, the addition of 3% oleaster flour showed a preservative effect on L. acidophilus, L. delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus and B. animalis subsp. lactis during storage. On the first day of storage in pH 4.0 for synthetic gastric fluid, in vitro acid tolerance of all probiotics showed stability for 180 minutes. Also, at pH 2.0 SGF, B. animalis subsp. lactis was below the detectable limit in the control and 1% of groups. However, the 2% and 3% groups showed nearly 3 log cfu/g viability at the end of 180 min. These positive effects were related to the buffering effect of the oleaster peel. Thus, these results could prove that oleaster flour can be used for the production of bio-yogurt

The real-life efficacy of the second line treatment strategy in advanced pancreas cancer

ABS TRACT Objective: Pancreatic cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death. Despite the introduction of new therapeutic agents, survival rates remain low. Furthermore, few trials have evaluated the options for second-line therapy and the prognostic variables. In this study, we aimed to determine the real-world efficacy and prognostic parameters of second-line treatment for advanced pancreatic cancer. Material and Methods: Patients with advanced pancreatic cancer from different centers who received second-line treatment were enrolled in the study. The patients’ demographic, clinical, and pathological characteristics were retrieved retrospectively. Results: A total of 161 patients were enrolled in the study. The majority of the patients (50.3%) received oxaliplatin plus fluoropyrimidine as second-line treatment. The median progression-free survival and overall survival for the entire cohort were 2.5 months and 4.5 months, respectively. In univariate anal-yses, an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≥2, age ≥65 years, hypoalbuminemia, thrombocytosis, presence of metastatic peritoneal disease, elevated alkaline phosphatase and carcinoembryonic antigen levels, and a neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) ≥3 were identified as poor prognostic factors. In multivariable analyses, low albumin level (p=0.031) and high NLR (p=0.05) were found to be independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusion: Pancreatic cancer is a unique malignancy, and advanced disease has a dismal prog-nosis. In univariate analyses, we identified multiple factors that were poor prognostic variables. In particular, the albumin level and NLR were independent prognostic factors for overall survival, and these parameters might be useful in selecting the second-line treatment and pre-dicting the survival of these patients
