Effects of postharvest UV-C and ethanol treatments on quality of cv. Red Globe grape and storage period

Bu çalışma, ‘Red Globe’ üzüm çeşidinin soğukta muhafazası üzerine farklı dozlardaUV-C ışını uygulamaları ve etanol buhar pedlerinin tekli veya kombinasyonlarının,ticari olarak kullanılan kükürt dioksit (SO2) jeneratörü ile karşılaştırılması amacıylayürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, uygulamalar sonrasında salkımlar MAP torbalardapaketlenerek 0-1°C ve %90-95 oransal nemli soğuk hava deposunda 3 ay süre ilemuhafaza altına alınmıştır. Depolama sırasında aylık olarak, suda çözünebilir kurumadde içeriği, titre edilebilir asit miktarı, toplam fenolik madde miktarı, toplamantosiyanin miktarı ve antioksidan kapasite, salkım iskeleti rengi, çürüklük gelişimiile dış görünüş gibi fiziksel ve kimyasal parametrelerde meydana gelen değişmelerincelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, depolama süresi arttıkça üzüm kalitesindekayıplar meydana gelmiştir. Uygulamalara bağlı olarak biyokimyasal bileşiklerdederim değerine göre muhafaza sonunda artış veya azalış şeklinde dalgalanmalargörülmüştür. Kontrol uygulamasında depolama süresi sonunda görülen çürüklükgelişimleri önemli düzeyde artmış ve pazarlanamaz seviyeye ulaşmıştır. Bununyanında, 90 günlük depolama periyodu sonunda üzüm kalite özelliklerininkorunumu açısından en başarılı uygulama SO2 uygulaması olmuş ve bunu UV-C 1 +Antimold 60 uygulaması izlemiştir.In this study, the effects of alone or combination treatments of different doses of UV-C irradiation and ethanol vapor pads on cold storage cv. Red Globe grape were compared with commercially available SO2 generator. Clusters were packaged in MAP bags and kept in 0-1 ° C and 90-95% relative humidity cold air storage for 3 months after treatments. Monthly changes in physical and chemical parameters such as water soluble solids content, titratable acid content, total phenolic content, total anthocyanin content and antioxidant capacity, cluster skeleton color, decay development and appearance were investigated during storage. According to the results obtained, grape quality losses occurred along with increasing storage periods. Depending on the treatments, there are fluctuations in the biochemical compounds as the increase or decrease at the end of storage compared to the skin value. At the end of the storage period, the decay developments in control treatment increased significantly and reached to non-marketable levels. However, at the end of storage period, the most successful treatment for preserving of grape quality properties was the SO2 treatment, followed by UV-C 1 + Antimold 60 treatment

Spatial analysis of renewable and excess heat potentials for climate-neutral district heating in Europe

District heating can play a decisive role in the transformation to a climate-neutral building sector, replacing fossil fuels. Renewable and excess heat potentials for district heating are often spatially limited and a consistent EU-wide analysis of the potentials is not yet available. In this paper, we quantify the renewable and excess heat potentials that could supply future district heating areas for the entire EU. We combine different data sets with a high spatial resolution and conduct spatial matching. Subsequently, we cluster the results for the potentials for individual district heating areas to derive representative types. The results show that the renewable and excess heat potentials together with heat pumps are overall sufficient to supply the future district heating demand, with high technical potentials from geothermal heat and excess heat from wastewater treatment plants. Decreasing the system temperatures increases the amount of available potentials. Lower heat densities and the overall character of the future supply sources require a paradigm shift in DH systems. Large central CHP units will need to be replaced by a diversity of several smaller sources, often combined with heat pumps and utilized at lower system temperatures

Encephalitozoon intestinalis: A Rare Cause of Diarrhea in an Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) Recipient Complicated by Albendazole-Related Hepatotoxicity

Abstract: A 50-year-old male patient previously diagnosed with acute myelomonocytic (M4) leukemia in July 2009 underwent allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). During the pre-transplant period complete blood count (CBC), liver and renal function tests, coagulation tests, and other parameters were normal. On the first day of transplantation teicoplanin (400 mg d -1 for the first 3 d, and then 400 mg d -1 ) and caspofungin (first dose was 1×70 mg d -1 , followed by 1×50 mg d -1 ) were started intravenously due to white plaques and oropharyngeal candidiasis in the patient's mouth and perianal erythema. On the 14 th d of transplantation watery diarrhea occurred, along with abdominal discomfort, nausea, and fatigue

The use of plants in the traditional management of diabetes in Nigeria: Pharmacological and toxicological considerations

Ethnopharmacological relevance: The prevalence of diabetes is on a steady increase worldwide and it is now identified as one of the main threats to human health in the 21st century. In Nigeria, the use of herbal medicine alone or alongside prescription drugs for its management is quite common. We hereby carry out a review of medicinal plants traditionally used for diabetes management in Nigeria. Based on the available evidence on the species׳ pharmacology and safety, we highlight ways in which their therapeutic potential can be properly harnessed for possible integration into the country׳s healthcare system. Materials and methods: Ethnobotanical information was obtained from a literature search of electronic databases such as Google Scholar, Pubmed and Scopus up to 2013 for publications on medicinal plants used in diabetes management, in which the place of use and/or sample collection was identified as Nigeria. ‘Diabetes’ and ‘Nigeria’ were used as keywords for the primary searches; and then ‘Plant name – accepted or synonyms’, ‘Constituents’, ‘Drug interaction’ and/or ‘Toxicity’ for the secondary searches. Results: The hypoglycemic effect of over a hundred out of the 115 plants reviewed in this paper is backed by preclinical experimental evidence, either in vivo or in vitro. One-third of the plants have been studied for their mechanism of action, while isolation of the bioactive constituent(s) has been accomplished for twenty three plants. Some plants showed specific organ toxicity, mostly nephrotoxic or hepatotoxic, with direct effects on the levels of some liver function enzymes. Twenty eight plants have been identified as in vitro modulators of P-glycoprotein and/or one or more of the cytochrome P450 enzymes, while eleven plants altered the levels of phase 2 metabolic enzymes, chiefly glutathione, with the potential to alter the pharmacokinetics of co-administered drugs. Conclusion: This review, therefore, provides a useful resource to enable a thorough assessment of the profile of plants used in diabetes management so as to ensure a more rational use. By anticipating potential toxicities or possible herb–drug interactions, significant risks which would otherwise represent a burden on the country׳s healthcare system can be avoided

The Process of the Formation of Denominations in Buddhism: The Emergence and Comparison of Mahayana and Theravada Denominations

Yüksek Lisans TeziBudizm bugünkü Hindistan’ın kuzey eyaletlerinden biri olan Bihar eyaletinden dünyaya yayılmıştır. Kurucusu Siddhārtha Gautama isminde bir prenstir. Nirvana’ya ulaşmasının ardında ‘Aydınlanmış’ anlamına gelen ‘Budha’ ismini alır. Onun ölümünün ardından müritleri kendi içlerinde birtakım ihtilaflara düşmüşlerdir. Bu ihtilafları gidermek ve birliği sağlamak amacıyla konseyler düzenlenmiştir. Konseylerin etkisi Budizm tarihi açısından önemlidir. Zira konseylerde alınan kararlar keşişler arasında ayrışmalara neden olmuştur. Zamanla daha da belirgin çizgilerle birbirlerinden ayrılan keşişler bir süre sonra fikirlerini sistemleştirip mezhep haline getirmişlerdir. Bu çalışmada konseylerin Budizm’in iki büyük mezhebi olan Mahayana ve Theravada’nın oluşmasındaki etkisi ele alınmıştır. Mahayana ve Theravada okullarına dair genel bir tasvirden sonra aralarındaki benzerlik ve farklılıklara kısaca değinilmiştir.Buddhism has been spread to the world from the state of Bihar, one of the northern states of today's India. Its founder was a prince who was called Siddhārtha Gautama. After reaching Nirvana, it took the name 'Budha' which means 'Enlightened'. After his death, his followers had some conflicts among themselves. Councils have been organized in order to resolve these disputes and ensure unity. The influence of the councils is important to the history of Buddhism. Because the decisions taken in the councils has caused divisions among the monks. Afterwards the monks who has seperated from each other with important differances have systematised their ideologies and they have created denominations. In this study, the influence of councils on Mahayana and Theravada which are the two major denominations of Buddhism was examined. Arter a general description of the schools of Mahayana and Theravada, similarity and discrepancy between them were mentioned
