A research on milk yield, milk composition and body weights of Anatolian buffaloes

The objective of this study was to define the lactation milk yield and milk composition, and the weights at birth, at 180 and 365 days of age in Anatolian buffaloes reared in Bitlis province of Turkey. The animal material of the study consisted of 1448 Anatolian buffaloes having different ages. The lactation milk yield and lactation length were calculated from monthly milking records during the lactation period. The least squares means for lactation milk yield and lactation length in Anatolian buffaloes were 163.99±18.66 kg and 262.63±8.37 days, respectively. Dry matter, protein, fat, lactose, ash contents and pH value of the milk of Anatolian buffaloes were 16.08 ±1.54%, 3.40 ±0.67%, 7.09±1.38%, 4.57%±0.81, 0.67±0.30%, and 6.68±0.40, respectively. The weights at birth, at 180 and 365 days of age were 29.28±0.56, 97.51±1.56 and 142.16±1.50 kg, respectively. As a result, the values found for the lactation characteristics and the body weights of Anatolian buffaloes were low compared to genotypes raised in intensive production systems, but the potential of genetics of buffaloes reared in traditional production systems can be understood providing of adequate environmental conditions and planning of effective selection programs

Dörtlü HPV aşisinin vulvar kondilom nüksü üzerine etkisi

IEEE International Ultrasonics Symposium, IUS 201521 October 2015 through 24 October 2015118680Aim: We tried to assess both prophylactic and therapeutic efficacies of quadrivalent vaccine for vulvar condylomas. Material and Methods: Thirty three women with vulvovaginal condylomas and variable degree of cervical preinasive lesions were treated with cauterization at gynecological oncology clinic of Zeynep Kamil Women and children’s health Training and Research hospital between 2006 to 2014. After cauterization treatment, subjects were vaccinated by quadrivalent HPV vaccine at 0, 2 and 6th months from the treatment. Subjects were followed for 48 months by repeat cervical smears/year and routine urogenital examination. Results: Among 33 cases with vulvar condylomas, there were 6 (18 %) cases with HGSIL, 4 (12 %) cases with ASCUS, 8 (24 %) cases with LGSIL and 15 (46 %) cases with normal cervical smear. Colposcopy directed biopsy revealed 3 (9 %) cases with CIN1, 1 (3 %) case with CIN 3, 29 (88 %) cases with normal histopathology. Distribution of HPV screening results were as follows:HPV 16 in 2 (6 %) cases, HPV 35 in 1 (3 %) case, HPV 56 in 1 (3 %) case, there were 18 (54 %) cases with HPV negative result and 11 (34 %) cases with low risk HPV type. Condyloma recurrence was observed in 4 (12 %) cases. There was only 1 (3 %) case of women with abnormal smear (LGSIL) in control smears during 48 months of follow up. Conclusion: In our study, we included only regularly followed women through 48 months period, and our data revealed lowered condyloma recurrence after cauterization and quadrivalent vaccination

A study on determination of functional food consumption habits and awareness of consumers in Turkey

DOGAN, I. S., O. Yildiz, E. Eyduran and S. Kose, 2011. A study on determination of functional food consumption habits and awareness of consumers in Turkey. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 17: 246-257 The survey study was to determine the status of knowledge about functional foods, the factors influencing consumer preferences in the purchase and their expectations in Turkey. A total of 389 persons, 288 men and 101 women ranging from 10 to 70 ages were participated in the study. Participants’ level of awareness about functional foods was found to be approximately 40%. In general, it was determined that these foods were consumed little by almost half (51.34%) of those participated to the survey. It was also found that women and especially participants ranging from 20 to 40 years-old consumed more functional foods than the rest of participants. As a result, it was concluded that education, income level, product price, compliance with religious sensitivities, the presence of artificial food additives and genetic modification were to be effective on functional food choice

Investigation of The Posture Positions of The Apparel Workshop Employees with The REBA and RULA Method

As the industry made progress, human labor force gained importance as an element of work life. The science of ergonomics came into being in order to take necessary precautions by determining the convenience of human motions with anatomy and risks and possible dangers during work. Through the methods of risk assessment, risks and possible dangers are determined to create a healthy environment for workers. Through REBA and RULA risk assessment methods, worker motions and postures are studied to determine convenience by calculating risk scores related to worker motions. The aim of REBA and RULA risk assessment methods is to study whether or not the worker is functioning in accordance with his/her skills and to prevent labor accidents and occupational diseases with the help of the data obtained. In this study, REBA and RULA risk scores are tried to be calculated by studying the motions of apparel workshop employees working in the fabric cutting, quality, packaging, ironing and stain removal sections. According to the analysis obtained, REBA score for the fabric cutting employee is 6, RULA score for the sewing machine operator is 4, REBA score for the quality control employee is 4, REBA score for the stain removal employee is 3, REBA score for the ironing employee is 6 and REBA score for the packaging employee is 5. According to the scores obtained through the use of REBA and RULA risk assessment method, the motions and postures of employees are determined to be at dangerous levels. Among the primary precautions needed to be taken to prevent the risks can be having the employee work at different tasks within certain intervals, monitoring the health, providing occupational health and safety educational program

In vitro cytotoxic properties of six artemisia L. species

Methanolic extracts of Artemisia L. taxons (Artemisia absinthium L., Artemisia arborescens L., Artemisia campestris L., Artemisia scoparia Waldst;amp;Kit, Artemisia santonicum L., Artemisia vulgaris L. and Artemisia arborescens L.) were investigated for their cytotoxic activities against three human cancer cell lines, MCF7, A549, HeLa, and two human normal cell lines, A7R5 and 293T.
