Transportation of Dangerous Goods: Turkey Model

 The shortcomings in the implementation of hazardous substances transport in the world and in our country lead to very serious hazards. These problems lead to life, property and very serious environmental disasters. This is not only a matter of transportation, but also of the chemistry, textile and fuel industries. This study provides information on the legislation on dangerous goods transport in Turkey. It also contains technical information on hazardous substances, following the search of the relevant literature for the province of hazardous goods.  

Ga-67 Uptake in a Patient with Breast Cancer

Omurgasızlardan omurgalılara kadar evrimsel olarak oldukça korunan Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolu hem erken embriyonik gelişimin düzenlenmesinde, hem de erişkin dokularda apoptozis, adipogenez, anjiogenez, sinaps oluşumu gibi olaylarda rol almaktadır. Bununla birlikte bu sinyal yolunda meydana gelen bozuklukların kanser başta olmak üzere birçok ciddi hastalığın etiyolojisinde rolü olduğunun düşünülmesi, son yıllarda bu sinyal yolu ile ilgili araştırmaları oldukça arttırmıştır. Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolunun bu hastalıklardaki rolünü belirlemeye yönelik çalışmalarda çoğunlukla β-katenin, Axin, Adenomatöz polipozis koli (APC) gibi biyomoleküller araştırılmaktadır. Ayrıca, bu biyomoleküller sadece hastalıkların oluşum mekanizmalarının belirlenmesinde değil, bu hastalıkların tedavisinde hedef olarak da kullanılmaktadırlar. Dolayısıyla Wnt/β-katenin sinyal yolunun en önemli basamağı olan sitoplazmik reaksiyonların ve bu reaksiyonlarda görev alan biyomoleküllerin ortaya konulması sinyal yolunun bütünün tam olarak anlaşılması için oldukça önemlidir. Bu sebeple derlememizde hedef hücre sitoplazmasında görev yapan biyomoleküllerin tartışılması ve bu şekilde sinyal yolunun tam olarak aydınlatılması amaçlanmıştır. Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, which is highly evolutionarily conserved from invertebrates to vertebrates, regulates apoptosis, adipogenesis, angiogenesis, synapse formation in adult tissues, and controls embryonic development in the embryo. Researches related to the signal pathway because of its probable role in the etiology of serious diseases such as cancer are quite increased. In the studies, for determining the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in these diseases, are mostly investigated biomolecules such as β-catenin, Axin, Adenomatous polyposis coli (APC). In addition, these biomolecules are not only used in determining the mechanisms of diseases, but also used as a target for treatment. Thus, determination of the cytoplasmic reactions, which are the most important step of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway, and biomolecules of these reactions are very important for understanding of fully signaling mechanism. Therefore, discussion of biomolecules in the cytoplasm of target cells and identification of the entire mechanism of the signaling pathway were aimed in our review

Information and digital literacy for primary education: diagnosis of needs and challenges.

The aftermath of the crisis generated by the COVID-19 pandemic - and the dangerous infodemic that has emerged in parallel - has made the importance of fostering information literacy even more evident. Information literacy is fundamental in all ages to enable us to participate in contemporary society and is therefore specifically a key competence to be developed starting from early childhood (Baji, Bigdeli, Parsa and Haeusler, 2018; Batool and Webber, 2019; Chu, Tse and Chow, 2011; Gardner, Goldstein, Pavey and Secker, 2020). In some countries, for the primary education stage, the socio-educational need to promote information literacy has obtained an institutional response with the inclusion of information and digital competence in the school curriculum and in current legislation. But the reality is that there is no sound educational approach, no updated and transferable curricular design, no substantial support for the school library, and the results of both the PISA Programme (2018) and recent academic research (Martínez-Piñeiro, Gewerc and Rodríguez-Groba, 2019) regarding information literacy of primary school students show huge gaps that urgently need to be addressed. The aim of this panel is to describe the preliminary results of the research carried out within the European BRIDGE project ("Information and Digital Literacy at School: A Bridge to Support Critical Thinking and Equality Values for Primary Education Using Children's Literature and Transmedia"). In the panel, the main results obtained in the six countries of the project will be presented to identify and reflect the needs and challenges shared and those that are specific to each country

BRIDGE project: information and digital literacy at primary school.

This poster describes the BRIDGE project ("Information and Digital Literacy at School: A Bridge to Support Critical Thinking and Equality Values for Primary Education Using Children's Literature and Transmedia"), which aims to review current legislation, curricula and practices for promoting information and digital literacy in six countries: Spain, Turkey, Italy, Finland, Greece and the United Kingdom

Removal of suspended solids and turbidity from marble processing wastewaters by electrocoagulation: Comparison of electrode materials and electrode connection systems

WOS: 000271346800047PubMed: 19651474In this study, removal of suspended solids (SS) and turbidity from marble processing wastewaters by electrocoagulation (EC) process were investigated by using aluminium (Al) and iron (Fe) electrodes which were run in serial and parallel connection systems. To remove these pollutants from the marble processing wastewater, an EC reactor including monopolar electrodes (Al/Fe) in parallel and serial connection system, was utilized. Optimization of differential operation parameters such as pH, current density, and electrolysis time on SS and turbidity removal were determined in this way. EC process with monopolar AI electrodes in parallel and serial connections carried out at the optimum conditions where the pH value was 9, current density was approximately 15 A/m(2), and electrolysis time was 2 min resulted in 100% SS removal. Removal efficiencies of EC process for SS with monopolar Fe electrodes in parallel and serial connection were found to be 99.86% and 99.94%, respectively. Optimum parameters for monopolar Fe electrodes in both of the connection types were found to be for pH value as 8, for electrolysis time as 2 min. The optimum current density value for Fe electrodes used in serial and parallel connections was also obtained at 10 and 20 A/m(2), respectively. Based on the results obtained, it was found that EC process running with each type of the electrodes and the connections was highly effective for the removal of SS and turbidity from marble processing wastewaters, and that operating costs with monopolar Al electrodes in parallel connection were the cheapest than that of the serial connection and all the configurations for Fe electrode.

The Prevalence of Leptospirosis in Human Beings and Rats in Samsun

Leptospirosis is a worldwide zooanthroponosis and also it is an important public health problem in Samsun Turkey. The purpose of this study is to know the prevalence of leptospirosis in humans and rats. Serum samples for serology were obtained from 279 people with the risk of leptospirosis (e,g. farmers, veterians, rice-field workers) and 200 people with no risk. Sera of all the human and 10 rats were tested for the presence of leptospiral agglutinins by microscopic agglutination test (MAT) using the following four leptospiral antigens; L. interrogans icterohaemorrhagiae, L. interrogans grippotyphosa, L. interrogans sejroe hardjo and L. biflexa semaranga patoc I. A titer of 1/100 and above for rats and 1/20 and above for epidemiological survey was considered as positive. A total of 4.3% of the risky group and 0.05% of controls were seropositive with using MAT. The difference being significant in risky group (p < 0.05). The serovars detected were 7 (58.3%) L. grippotyphosa, 5 (41.7%) L. icterohaemorrhagiae. Among 28 rats examined for evidence of leptospiral infection by dark field microscopy, silver staining, MAT and culture, the evidence of Leptospira infection was demonstrated in 53.6% of them by at least one method. Three rats were identified as serovar L. icterohaemorrhagiae (2 MAT, 1 culture). Leptospirosis is a frequent zoonosis in this area and leptospirosis should be considered as a possible diagnosis in febrile diseases in occupational groups such as farmers, veterians and rice-field workers
