AN INVESTIGATION OF THE VIEWS ON THE LAKE OF THE TEACHERS WHO WORK IN THE VICINITIES OF LAKE AVLAN, TURKEY

Several problems such as the deterioration in water regime, climate’s getting harsh, desertification and the decrease in agricultural productivity have been experienced in and around Lake Avlan which was dried in 1970’s entirely for the purpose of opening new cultivation areas. Upon the deterioration, the gates of the regulators were closed by the Ministry of Environment upon the written demand from almost 3000 people from the vicinity by the organization of a mayor and 37 village headmen. Lake Avlan is the first wetland on which a decision of restoration has been taken upon the demand from the people in the vicinity, including the villagers who were given a piece of land from the lake. When the things experienced with the case are taken into consideration, it is observed that the perception of education on environment has changed and the importance of education on environment increased. The education for environment is aimed to raise individuals who are aware of local, regional, national and global problems; who approach these problems with concern and sensitivity; who spend effort voluntarily for thesolution of such problems; and those whose ecological culture, environmental moral and environmental consciousness is high (Atasoy&Ertürk, 2008). The aim of this study is to identify the views of the teachers who work in the schools in the vicinity of Lake Avlan on the lake. The participants of the study are 14 teachers as 9 males and 5 females. The study was designed as a case study, which is one of the methods of qualitative research. The data used in the study were collected by giving interviews to the teachers and were analyzed using content analysis technique. The findings revealed that the teachers rendered superficial information on the social and socioeconomic structure of the Lake Avlan; that they bear confusing ideas about the physical form of the lake and that the information they provide is not sufficient. They all share the idea that Lake Avlan has not been preserved and based upon each participant’sexplanations, the study reached the same conclusion.  Article visualizations

Design And Fabrication Of A Tropical Motorcycle Helmet

The present work is devoted to the design and evaluation of a new crashworthy motorcycle helmet taking into consideration the tropical climate of Malaysia. A multidiscipline literature review on the design problems of motorcycle helmet was carried out and current problems were formulated. Based on the literature review findings, a new shell and liner designs were then proposed to overcome or eliminate these problems. The shell design improvements consisted of developing hybrid natural fiber composite (NFC) shells which were fabricated and evaluated by the standard dynamic penetration test. The results of the new design were found to be satisfactory according to the related helmet standards. Three additional methods have been developed to assess the new shells performance in a more quantified manner. These tests are the helmet quasi-static penetration, the helmet rigidity, and the helmet crushing. All these tests were performed and the results confirmed the superior performance of the new natural fiber shell helmets as compared to the market dominant ABS shell helmets. Other factors also supported this design improvement such as cost, and the utilization of environmental friendly material. In the liner design improvement, the shell was kept to the current ABS shell and the EPP foam as a liner. A 3D finite element algorithm has been developed using LSDYNA- 3D software. Based on the simulation results, the helmet with EPP foam liner was found to be satisfactory according to the related helmet standards. A parametric study of the helmet design was performed using the Response Surface Methodology in the Design of Experiment (DOE) statistical method. From this parametric study, the foam thickness and the foam density were found to have more significant effect on the helmet energy absorption than the she]] effects. Design optimizations were also conducted and optimum design was obtained. Finally, thermal analysis for commercially available helmet without ventilation system and the new helmet design with ventilation system were made. from which it was found that helmet ventilation is essential to avoid possible health problems. A design chart for helmet with ventilation system to obtain the minimum cross sectional area required for ventilation nozzles has been developed. This chart is suitable for a wide span of amounts of heat generated from the motorcyclist head. The effect of adding the ventilation system to the helmet has been structurally investigated by the finite element simulation and found to positively improve the energy absorption performance of the helmet

Reforming public education in developing countries: Turning challenges into opportunities

This paper tries to respond to a basic question: “Can public education (or some aspects of it) be reformed?” The authors’ response to this question is, “Yes, public education can be reformed, if contextual possibilities are exploited efficiently.” Although a straight forward and simplistic response to the question, this was felt necessary to counter an unfavourable bias towards public education sector without recognizing the challenges that it faces, and without recognizing the potential of many of the public teachers who continuously strive to change these negative perceptions. This paper recognizes the potential of public sector education and shares a relatively successful example of improving competencies among public teachers to support the response

The Study of the Apocrypha by the Preacher

Luther had a better appreciation of the apocryphal writings of the Old Testament than the English translation. He carefully translated them and appended them to the Old Testament canon. He did more than that. He recommended these strange and non-inspired books, which have no place in the Old Testament Bible, as useful reading. To-day these writings have almost come to be regarded as obsolete in our circles. Many of our children have never seen them; we pastors scarcely find time to read them occasionally

Analisis Produk Dan Inovasi Pangan: Bumbu Racik Nasi Goreng Kedelai Hitam (Buked Hitam)

Nasi goreng merupakan makanan yang banyak dikonsumsi di Indonesia karena rasanya yang sudah familiar di lidah masyarakat Indonesia. Nasi goreng biasanya dibuat dengan cara menggoreng nasi disertai tambahan bumbu-bumbu dapur seperti bawang merah dan bawang putih. Kandungan gizi dalam nasi goreng yang biasa dikonsumsi biasanya didominasi oleh karbohidrat dan lemak, sehingga nasi goreng ini seringkali dijauhi oleh konsumen yang sedang diet. Selain itu, apabila nasi goring dikonsumsi terlalu banyak tanpa tambahan lauk yang mengandung protein, akan membuat kelebihan berat badan karena karbohidrat dan lemak yang tinggi tidak baik untuk tubuh jika tidak diimbangi dengan kandungan gizi lainnya. Kedelai hitam sebagai salah satu varietas dari kedelai dengan warna kulit hitam dan memiliki berbagai kandungan gizi bias memberikan banyak manfaat bagi tubuh manusia. Kedelai hitam merupakan bahan pangan yang kaya protein, serat, vitamin, mineral, serta antioksidan yang sangat bermanfaat bagi jantung dan tulang, bahkan untuk menurunkan berat badan. Oleh karena dalam eksperimen ini dikembangkan sebuah produk bumbu racik nasi goreng kedelai hitam yang diberi nama “Buked Hitam”. Produk Buked Hitam yang dihasilkan berupa olahan bumbu pasta yang digunakan untuk membuat nasi goreng. Produk ini merupakan pengembangan produk dari kedelai hitam dengan substitusi bumbu-bumbu yang biasa digunakan untuk membuat nasi goreng. Selain memiliki rasa, aroma, dan warna yang unik ketika diaplikasikan pada nasi goreng, produk ini memiliki kelebihan dibandingkan produk bumbu nasi goreng lain yaitu tinggi protein
