Evaluation of the extract obtained from various medicinal and aromatic plants “antibacterial and antioxidant⇝ in the wood industry

Throughout the history of mankind, various plants (medicinal aromatics etc.) have been used naturally to prevent all diseases, or they have been used in a wide range of fields, especially in the pharmaceutical industry, by cultivating in agriculture/greenhouse areas. However, as a result of the protection and coloring of the wood material by chemically, especially the indoor contamination causes negative effects on human health. The main objective of this study is to use the wooden product in wooden child toys, hospitals, sterile areas, pharmacies, wood-based materials used in the kitchen (fork, knife, serving plates and chopping boards etc.), playgrounds, dining table surfaces, nursery and kindergarten furniture, beehives etc. In addition, it will be recommended to use on all surfaces where there is an antibacterial / antioxidant effect, as well as on the surfaces with collective contact such as door handles, cabinet handles, elevator buttons and cash dispenser keys. In research, extracts of Evelik (Rumex patientia L.) and Çakşır (Ferula comunis L.) herbs (1% concentration) from medicinal aromatic plants were prepared and spruce and mahogany wood were used as wood type. According to ASTM D 143-76 principles, retention and bending resistance properties were determined by impregnation according to the results of the experiment, the highest retention (0.55%) and bending strength (100.20 N/mm2 ) were determined in Evelik plant and the optimum increase was determined when the results were compared with the control sample

Determination of antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of sweetgum (Liquidambar orientalis) leaf, a medicinal plant

In the study, sweetgum tree (Liquidambar orientalis), which is an endemic species that grows in Mugla, Koycegiz and is applied for medicinal purposes among the public, its leaves was examined. The antioxidant ability of the extract obtained from dried plant leaves has been evaluated using a variety of methods which are Total Phenolic Substance, Total Flavonoid, FRAP, CUPRAC, DPPH, and ABTS(+). Simultaneously, the antimicrobial activity of the plant extract was examined using disk diffusion and microdilution methods to determine the minimum inhibitor concentration (MIC). While the total phenolic content of Liquidambar orientalis extract was 96.34 mg GAE/g, the total amount of flavonoid was 2.15 mg QE/g. When the results of the antioxidant analysis were examined, it was observed that it had a good level of antioxidant activity with the results of 49.25 +/- 0.54 mmol TEAC/g according to the CUPRAC method, 39.83 +/- 0.25 mu mol Fe/g according to the FRAP method, 80.34 mu g/mL according to the DPPH method and 51.20 mu g/mL according to the ABTS(+) method. As a result of the antimicrobial analysis, it was indicated that L. orientalis extract was more effective on Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), which is a gram-positive bacterium and causes a wide variety of clinical diseases. Even, L. orientalis extract with an MIC value of 10 mg/mL has been found to have a higher antibacterial effect than Amoxicillin+Clavulanic acid, which is used as a standard drug in that field. This research is significant because it is the first to report the determination of all biological activities for L. orientalis, including total polyphenols, flavonoid contents, antioxidant content, and antimicrobial activity

Antioxidant stone water (human/friendly environment) thermal (thermogravimetric-TGA) combustion properties in biohazard (insect/fungus) wood

In this study, four different wood species walnut (Juglans regia L.), chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.), Poplar (Populus nigra), scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) were chosen and test samples were prepared according to TS 2470 principles. Especially the pine wood by taking the structure (with fungus, fungus/insect, insect), flawless wood structure is compared with the flawed wood structure. The impregnation process was carried out according to ASTM D 1413 -76 principles. Effects of the chemical characteristics of the determined Stone Water (Firetex) on the thermal decomposition properties of wood (burning degrees, degradation temperature points and residue amount) were determined with TGA (thermogravimetric analysis). According to the results of the experiment; the highest retention value was found in poplar (23.56%) and the lowest retention (12.79%) in chestnut was determined. Amount of residue; 60.84% of the highest on scotch pine wood with fungus and 56.70% of the lowest value was determined on poplar wood. Thermal deterioration was determined between 226.41-405.04 o C on wood

Aim/purpose – This study has three main aims; the first aim is determining doctors’ and nurses’ organizational commitment, vocational satisfaction and burnout levels; the second is analyzing the relations between organizational commitment, vocational satisfaction and burnout levels; and the third aim is analyzing doctors’ and nurses’ organizational commitment, vocational satisfaction and burnout levels according to their demographical characteristics. Design/methodology/approach – Data for the cross-sectional study was gathered from a university hospital in Turkey of 735 doctors and nurses. Data was gathered by a four part data gathering medium. The medium consists of a personal data form developed by the researchers, Allen – Meyer organizational commitment scale, Minnesota satisfaction scale and Maslach burnout scale. The gathered data was evaluated with correlation analysis, variance analysis, definitive statistics, meaningfulness test of variance between two averages and averaging methods. Findings – The evaluated data showed that participants’ emotional and normative commitment levels are over average and continuation commitment level is high; their burnout level is high, desensitization level is at average, intrinsic satisfaction level is high because of their personal success; and extrinsic satisfaction level is low and general vocational satisfaction level is close to neutral. Academician doctors’ emotional and normative commitment levels; intrinsic and extrinsic vocational satisfaction levels; desensitization and personal success levels are higher than assistants’ and nurses’. In our study, it is found out that as emotional and normative commitment levels increase, so does the vocational satisfaction; while the continuation commitment level increases, vocational satisfaction level decreases; and meaningful statistical relation was determined between vocational satisfaction and burnout levels. Research implications – The limitation of the present study is that it was conducted in one hospital in the province of Sivas, Turkey. Originality/value/contribution − The originality of this work is to examine job satisfaction, burnout and organizational commitment in health worker

New approach to ecological structure effects of medical aromatic plant extract/borax on the anatomical structure of wood and human/environmental health

In this century, in which human and environmental health are prioritized in the usage of medical aromatic plant extract and boron chemical, both separately and in combination, when the effect of wood on the anatomical structure is assessed in the context of hygiene/antimicrobials, it opens up additional areas to be addressed (indoor/outdoor spaces, hospitals, space, and so on). In order to determine the anatomical characteristics, cross -sections (transverse/radial/tangential) of the wood samples were obtained and interactions/changes in the anatomical structure were identified under the light microscope, and the retention scale was created in relation to this. The retention level of both medicinal aromatic plant extract and borax in wood is the highest in mahogany wood (2.88%), while the lowest percentage is found in oriental spruce wood (0.35%). In comparison to the control sample, the air/full dry specific density change produced good outcomes in both wood types. The highest air-dried specific density value was found in borax (0.58 g/cm3) in mahogany wood, and in caw (Ferula comunis L.) plant, borax and ferula+borax (0.38 g/cm3) in spruce wood. In both wood species, retention occurred in sap rays and there was no retention in the traheid/trahe cells, which act as conduction, and retention was determined in these cells, since they are sapphire cells and cells that act as storage

Discussion of forest products ındustry in term of ecological

Küreselleşme süreci sonucunda dünya ülkelerinin karşılaştığı en önemli problemlerden birisi de çevre ve çevre sorunları olmaktadır. Hem geçmişte hem de günümüzde ekolojik dengeyi bozan, çevre sağlığının yanı sıra doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilir yönetimini olumsuz etkileyen faktörlerden birisi de kaynakların sorumsuzca tüketimi ve çevresel sorunlara sebep olacak yapıda ve miktarda atık üretimidir. Bu artışlar sonucu meydana gelen çevre kirliliği ve ekonomik kayıplar, yaşanan çevresel problemler sonucu farkındalığın artması, yaşam alanlarına karşı toplumun beklentilerini ve profesyonel kesimin ilgi ve duyarlılığını değiştirmiştir. Yaşadığımız dünyanın ve insanlığın geleceğini tehdit eden çevre sorunları gündemimize yerleşmiştir. 1980’lerin başlarından itibaren küresel ısınma, ozon tabakasının zarar görmesi, doğal kaynakların azalması, asit yağmurları, hava, su ve toprak kirliliği, insan ve çevresinin zehirlenmesi gibi bazı tehlikeler nedeniyle tartışmalar yaşanmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; küreselleşme sonucu ortaya çıkan çevresel problemlerin orman ürünleri endüstrisini nasıl etkilediği, ekolojik açıdan nasıl önlemler alındığı konusunda yapılan çalışmaların değerlendirilmesi ve orman ürünleri endüstrisinde sürdürülebilir çevre anlayışı ile neler yapılması gerektiği hususlarının irdelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.One of the most important problems in the world is environmental problems.  Both past and nowadays, one of the factors that negatively affect the sustainable management of natural resources, disrupting the ecological balance and environmental health are production of waste that causes environmental problems and irresponsible consumption of natural resources. These increases occurred as a result of increased awareness of environmental problems, environmental pollution and economic losses have changed society’s expectations for areas of life and professional section’s interest and sensitivity. Since the early 1980s, there are arguments due to some hazardssuch as global warming, ozone layer damage, reduction of natural resources, acid rain, air, water and soil pollution, poisoning people and the environment.  In this study, It is aimed to discuss aspects of what to do with the concept of sustainable environment at the forest products industry, the evaluate these studies that how the measures are taken in the ecological point of view and how environmental problems resulting from globalization affects the forest products industry. Both the furniture and used in the construction industry, as well as paint, varnish, glue, etc. materials, the use of water‐based systems would be more effective right the fact that the human‐environment
