The problems encountered in the irrigation of landscape of fethiye city center and alternative solution proposals

Bu araştırmada Fethiye ilçe merkezindeki peyzaj alanlarının sulanmasında karşılaşılan sorunlar ve alternatif çözüm önerileri belirlenmiştir. Araştırma ilçe merkezindeki dört büyük parkta yürütülmüştür. Dört parktan 0-30, 30-60 ve 60-90 cm derinliklerden alınan toprak örnekleri ile dört ay boyunca aylık olarak alınan su örneklerinin bazı fiziksel ve kimyasal analizleri yapılmış ve sonuçlar değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; araştırma alanı topraklarının kumlu-tın ve kumlu-killi-tın özellikte oldukları görülmüştür. Toprakların pH değerlerinin 7,30 - 7,91, EC değerlerinin 0,85 ' 1,91 dS/m, tarla kapasitesi % 9,07 - 39,52, solma noktası % 5,28 - 25,60, hacim ağırlıkları 1,23 - 1,81 gr/cm3 arasında değişmektedir. Sulamada kullanılan sularda pH 7,5 - 8,1, EC 0,593 ' 2,929 dS/m arasında değiştiği saptanmıştır. Su örnekleri, ABD Tuzluluk Laboratuvarı Sınıflandırma sistemine göre değerlendirildiğinde Atatürk parkında C2S1, Uğur Mumcu parkında C3S1, Alparslan Türkeş parkında C3S1 ve Haluk Özsoy parkında da C3S1 sulama suyu sınıfında olduğu ve yüksek tuzlu sular kategorisinde yer aldıkları belirlenmiştir. Araştırma alanında kullanılan suların kalite açısından düşük olduğu, bununla birlikte toprakların uygun özelliklere sahip olmasının önemli bir problemle karşılaşılmamasında etken olduğu düşünülmektedir. Araştırmada, Haluk Özsoy parkında infiltrasyon testi ve buna paralel olarak örnek bir yağmurlama sulama projesi tasarlanmış ve mevcut kurulu sistemle karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar, kurulu sulama sisteminde homojen bir su uygulamasının olmadığını, yağmurlama sulamada homojenitenin sağlanmasında önemli bir parametre olan başlık debisi ve tertip aralığını belirlemek için infiltrasyon hızının ölçülmesi gerekliliğini ortaya koymuştur.Thıs research aıms to determine the problems encountered and proposed alternative solutions for the irrigation of the landscape of Fethiye city center. The research took place in four large parks of Fethiye city center. Soil samples were taken from these four parks from 0 ' 30 cm, 30 - 60 cm and 60 ' 90 cm depth, as well as water samples once every month during four months. Some physical and chemical analyses were made of all these soil and water samples and the results were evaluated. According to the results of the research, it has been seen that the characteristics of the soil of the researched area is sandy-loamy and sandy-clayey-loamy. The pH values of the soil vary between 7,30 ' 7,91; EC values between 0,85 ' 1,91 dS/m; the field capacity between 9,07 ' 39,52 % ; wilting point values between 5,28 ' 25,60 % ; bulk density values between 1,23 ' 1,81 gr/cm3. It has been determined that the pH values of the water used in irrigation vary between 7,5 ' 8,1 and EC values of the water vary between 0,593 ' 2,929 dS/m. When the water samples are evaluated according to US Salinity Laboratory Classification, it has been determined that these four parks are in the category of High Salinity Water and Atatürk Park is in C2S1, Uğur Mumcu Park is in C3S1, Alpaslan Türkeş Park is in C3S1 and Haluk Özsoy Park is in C3S1 Irrigation Water Classification. It is thought that the water used in irrigation where the research was done is of low quality; but, on the other hand, because the soil has proper characteristics, no major problem was encountered. In this research, in Haluk Özsoy Park, an infiltration test has been proposed to be taken and at the same time an irrigation system by sprinkling water has to be designed. This proposed irrigation system together with infiltration test has been compared with the existing irrigation system. The results of the research have shown that there is no homogenous irrigation implementation in the exisiting irrigation system and it is necessary to measure the velocity of infiltration in order to determine the hood flow rate and the distance between hoods. These measurements are very important parameters to obtain the homogenity in irrigation by sprinkling water

Three-hundred and ten (310) supermarket employees participated in the research between March and May 2021. Participants filled out the questionnaire sets online The Demographic Information Form, Symptom Checklist, Five Factor Inventory and Resilience Scale for Adults were presented as questionnaire sets. Pearson Correlation Analyses were conducted to determine the relationships between variables, Multiple Regression and mediation analyses were conducted to discover the predictors of symptom level. It was found that personality traits, resilience and psychological symptom levels are related to each other. Conscientiousness, neuroticism, openness and resilience are significant predictors of psychological symptom level. In addition, resilience plays a mediating role in the relationship between neuroticism and psychological symptom levels. The findings were discussed within the framework of the relevant literature and COVID-19 research findings

Liver Transplantation in a Patient with Absent Inferior Vena Cava: Case Report

Transplantation procedure used if the recipient and donor do not have a special anatomicalvariation today; left lateral segment in the pediatric age group, and right lobe in the adult agegroup. Biliary atresia in children and various liver diseases like metabolic events in adults arethe major causes of liver transplantation. Liver transplantation is challenging in the patientswith congenital vascular anomalies. Infrahepatic interruption of the inferior vena cava (IVC)is a rare congenital anomaly with the incidence of 0.6% to 2% and mostly found withcongenital heart disease. In this study we tried to report a 58-year old male patient with adiagnosis of decompensated liver cirrhosis caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) who washospitalized for the first time for living donor liver transplantation.Günümüzde alıcı ve vericinin özel anatomik bir varyasyonunun yokluğunda kullanılan transplantasyon prosedürü; pediatrik yaş grubu için sol lateral segmentin alınması, erişkin yaş grubunda ise sağ lobun kullanılmasıdır. Çocuklarda biliyer atrezi, erişkinlerde ise metabolik olaylar gibi çeşitli karaciğer hastalıkları karaciğer transplantasyonu için başlıca nedenlerdir. Karaciğer transplantasyonu, konjenital damar anomalisi olan hastalar için oldukça zor bir işlemdir.

[Retrospective evaluation of the alveolar echinococcosis cases between 1980-2010 in Erciyes University Hospital]. Erciyes Üniversitesi Hastanesinde 1980-2010 Yillari Arasinda Alveoler Ekinokokkozis Saptanan Olgularin Retrospektif Deǧerlendirilmesi.

Alveolar echinococcosis is an uncommon parasitic disesae confined to the Northern Hemisphere. There is limited data regarding the incidence of the disease in Kayseri. Clinicopathologic features of the cases with the diagnosis of alveolar echinococcosis reviewed between 1980-2010. Twenty-nine cases of alveolar echinococcosis were found. There were no significant distribution differences during the study period. 28 of the 29 cases were localised in the liver, whereas one case was localised in the omentum. Sixteen of the 29 cases were male (55%) and 13 were female (45%). The age distribution of these cases varied between 33 and 80. Thirteen cases resided in Kayseri, 2 cases resided in Erzurum, 1 each case resided in Adana, Ardahan, Kars, Niǧde, Nevşehir and Yozgat. We could not obtain information from the remaining 8 cases. Abdominal pain was the main symptom in 8 cases, jaundice in 2 cases and fatigue and fever in one case on admission. One case was detected incidentally. All of the cases were diagnosed by histologic examination. The data about the alveolar echinococcosis is limited due to its low prevelance. Alveolar echinococcosis cases were detected in Kayseri with a lower incidence than in the East Anatolian region. This report will add data about the incidence of the alveolar echinococcosis

Sociodemographic characteristics and risk factor analysis of Demodex infestation (Acari: Demodicidae)*

To identify sociodemographic characteristics and risk factor of Demodex infestation, 756 students aged 13–22 years in Xi’an, China were sampled for the school-based cross-sectional study. Demodex was examined using the cellophane tape method (CTP). The results showed that the total detection rate of Demodex was 67.6%. Logistic regression analysis revealed that five variables (gender, residence, sharing sanitary ware, frequency of face-wash per day, and use of facial cleanser) were found to be uncorrelated with Demodex infestation, whereas three variables (age, skin type, and skin disease) were found to be independent correlates. Students aged over 18 years had 22.1 times higher odds of Demodex infestation compared to those under 16 years and students aged 16–18 years also had 2.1 times higher odds compared to those aged 13–15 years. Odds of having a Demodex infestation for oily or mixed skin were 2.1 times those for dry or neutral skin. Students with a facial skin disease had 3.0 times higher odds of being infested with Demodex compared to those without. The inception rate of students with facial dermatoses increased in parallel with increasing mite count. The inception rates were 21.3%, 40.7%, 59.2%, and 67.7% in the negative, mild, moderate, and severe infestation groups, respectively (χ 2=60.6, P<0.001). Specifically, the amount of infested mites and inception rate of acne vulgaris were positively correlated (R 2=0.57, moderate infestation odds ratio (OR)=7.1, severe infestation OR=10.3). It was concluded that Demodex prevalence increases with age, and Demodex presents in nearly all adult human. Sebaceous hyperplasia with oily or mixed skin seems to favour Demodex proliferation. Demodex infestation could be associated with acne vulgaris. The CTP is a good sampling method for studies of Demodex prevalence
