The year 2023 represents a 100-year period of becoming a country for Türkiye. This study examines the urban expansion evolution of Konya in Turkey over a century of urbanization. The expansion process is assessed through the analysis of urban plans from 1923, 1945, 1967, 2000, and 2023 using (1) density calculation derived from the population divided by built-up cells and (2) density calculation utilizing Inverse S function based on land use data. Considering the calculated densities, the city's evolution over a hundred years is examined concerning evolving regulations land use decisions, and growth trajectories. The existing conditions, encompassing both the advantageous and disadvantageous facets of urban expansion, are examined using SWOT analysis, and spatial development strategies for the future are devised. As a result, it has been determined that Konya has undergone urban expansion in certain directions irregularly, attributed to transportation-focused planning decisions, deviating from human-scale and compact urban development.

Güzergahlar ve diğer doğal kaynakların birbirleri ile uzaklıkları dikkate alınarak Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) ortamında rota oluşturulmuştur. Yapılan çalışma mevcut anıt ağaçların korunması ve tanıtılmasına katkı sağlamayı hedeflemektedir. Ayrıca, anıt ağaçlar hakkında bilinç oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.

In this article, the suitable sites for rainwater harvesting of the Serinhisar watershed were determined by accepting the watershed characteristics affecting the rainwater harvesting as criteria and weighting these criteria. For this purpose, a Geographical Information System (GIS) application integrated with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), which is one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods, was implemented. Firstly, the watershed model was created in the GIS environment and the slope and drainage density criteria were obtained from this model. One of the criteria, the land use data, was combined with the soil class data in the GIS environment to obtain the Curve Number (CN) data. By using this CN data and watershed precipitation data, runoff data and accordingly the last criterion, the runoff potential, were obtained with the Soil Conservation Service -- Curve Number (SCS-CN) Method. The criteria, which were given importance and weighted according to each other in the AHP steps by reclassification, were combined in a single map according to their weights and presented as a suitability map.

It is very important that fire trucks can reach the fire scene quickly during an emergency. In this direction, many factors such as the location of fire stations in the city, road conditions, road network, adequacy of fire brigade equipment, type of fire, etc. have a first-degree effect on the fast or slow response to the incident. The study area covers Eyyübiye, Haliliye, and Karaköprü districts, which are the central districts of Şanlıurfa. There are a total of 5 fire stations in these districts. When we look at the ratio of fires in the central districts to all fires in the study area between 2020-2023, it corresponds to 19.72% of building fires, 10.19% of workplace fires, 7.2% of vehicle fires, and 5.37% of garbagelandfill and forest fires. In 2023, the highest number of fires occurred in Haliliye district with 1,098. In Eyyübiye District 749 and Karaköprü district 595 fire incidents occurred. In the light of this information, in the study, the access time of the existing 5 fire stations in Şanlıurfa central districts (Haliliye, Eyyübiye, Karaköprü) was calculated by using Geographical Information Systems (GIS). While calculating the access time of fire trucks, buffer analysis was performed in ArcGIS 10.8. Based on the fire stations in the central districts, an impact area from 500 m to 75 km was determined and the access time of fire trucks was calculated as a zone. While the access time between 500 m-10. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Classical homocystinuria is an inborn amino acid metabolism disorder resulting from mutations in the Cystathionine-β-Synthase (CBS) gene. These mutations lead to elevated homocysteine and methionine levels and reduced cysteine levels in the blood. Typically, diagnosis occurs after patients display symptoms, and various lab methods confirm it. DNA sequencing is the best option for early detection of genetic variants in asymptomatic suspected individuals. Unfortunately, its high cost can hinder its use, especially in low-income countries like Pakistan. Aim of this study was to devise a robust low-cost diagnostic/screening assay based on Tetra-ARMS-PCR for five prevalent genetic variants found in Pakistani classical homocystinuria patients. In the current study, T-ARMS-PCR assays were developed for five mutations (c.975G > C, c.770C > T, c.752T > C, c.1039 + 1G > T, c.451 + 1GG > TA), which were characterized previously in classical homocystinuria patients. These low-cost T-ARMS-PCR assays were then used to screen the affected individuals and their family members to identify their genotypes for pathogenic variations in the asymptomatic patients and carriers in their respective families. The outcomes were entirely consistent with those obtained from Sanger DNA sequencing, confirming the sensitivity, specificity, and reliability of the T-ARMS-PCR assay for detecting CBS mutations. T-ARMS-PCR has wide applications for low-income countries for the screening and early diagnosis of asymptomatic patients and carriers in the homocystinuria affected families as well as other inherited diseases.

Yağış deseninin ve potansiyelinin doğru belirlenmesi su kaynakları yönetimi, planlaması ve geliştirilmesi açısından çok önemlidir. Yağışlar zamana ve yere göre en fazla değişkenlik gösteren iklim elemanıdır. Bu sebeple yağış ölçümlerinde diğer iklim elemanlarından daha sık ölçüm ağına ihtiyaç duyulur. Bu çalışmada yağış ölçer ağı sıklığı ve konumunun Antalya Havzasında yağış deseni, miktarı ve hacmine olan etkisinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu maksatla çalışmada iki farklı veri seti kullanılmıştır. Veri Seti-1’de sadece Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü (MGM) istasyonlarına ait yağış verileri kullanılmıştır. Veri Seti-2’de MGM ve Devlet Su İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü (DSİ) istasyonlarına ait yağış verileri birlikte kullanılmıştır. Veri setlerinin mekânsal enterpolasyonunda, çok yaygın bir kullanım alanına sahip olan jeoistatistik Ordinary Kriging (OK) yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Veri setlerinin sonuçları çapraz doğrulama yöntemiyle ölçülmüş ve Ortalama Mutlak Hata (MAE), Ortalama Karekök Hatası (RMSE), Belirleyicilik Katsayısı (R2) ve Nash-Sutcliffe etkinlik katsayısı (NSE) ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Veri Seti-1 ile NSE: 0.64, R2: 0,64, MAE: 123,75 ve RMSE: 145,83; Veri Seti-2 ile NSE: 0,77, R2: 0,77, MAE: 111,55 ve RMSE: 135,22 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Veri Seti-1 ile karşılaştırıldığında Veri Seti-2’nin hata miktarları daha düşük, doğruluğu ve çalışma alanını temsil etmesi daha yüksektir. MGM ve DSİ istasyonlarının birleştirilerek kullanılması çalışma alanında istasyon ağı sıklığı ve homojenliği sağlamıştır. Bu uygulama enterpolasyon metodunun da başarısını artırmıştır. Havzanın alansal ortalama yağış miktarı MGM istasyonlarıyla 763 mm, Veri Seti-2 istasyonlarıyla 887,1 mm olarak hesaplanmıştır. DSİ yağış istasyonu verilerinin kullanımı Antalya Havzanın yağış deseni ve potansiyelinde büyük farklılıklar oluşturmuştur.

Chestnuts with high economic and socio-cultural value (Castanea sativa Mill.) must determine forests' spatial and climatic characteristics to improve them, increase fruit yield, and effectively combat diseases and pests. This study aimed to determine the spatial and climatic attributes of pure chestnut forests spreading within the borders of the Zonguldak Forestry Regional Directorate. A total of six criteria were used for spatial and climatic analyses: total precipitation (mm/year), annual mean temperature (C°), wind speed (m/s), altitude (m), slope (%), and aspect (°). Climate values were calculated as maximum, minimum, and average values, respectively; 1 619.25, 866.95, and 1 024.07 mm/year for total precipitation (mm/year), 13, 6 and 11.76 C° for annual mean temperature (C°), 6.62, 0.22 and 2.46 m/s for wind speed (m/s). The spatial characteristics were calculated as 1 221.68, 33.24, and 300.23 m for the height (m), 32.43%, 7.34%, and 18.63% for the slope (%) and finally, 338.63°, 18.18° and 184.18° for the angle (°), respectively, in terms of maximum, minimum and average values. Bartın Forest Management Directorate (FMD) ranks first with 57.18% of the natural chestnut forests spread the most in the study area, while Zonguldak FMD ranks second with 21.45% and Ulus FMD ranks third with 17.13%. The results obtained from the study based on the location and climate will contribute to the selection of the most suitable place for the new chestnut forest afforestation studies to be established and increase the percentage of success.

In case of natural disasters, it is vital that accurate information is delivered to disasters managers through correct communication channels at a correct time. The technological infrastructure of law enforcement can be categorized into three main areas: communication technologies, information query technologies, and geographic information systems. Coordination and the correct channeling of resources in post-disaster search and rescue operations and support services are paramount. Within this framework, communication emerges as the fundamental need. Initially, the need for emergency communication was met through the narrow band JEMUS system, then through wired and GSM infrastructures repaired; high data requirement was met through broad band systems. Following the adoption of broad band capabilities in disaster management centers, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) began to be utilized in disaster management, planning efforts, and data analysis. Safety and security services were initially operated over narrow band systems and later supported by broad band systems. Ensuring that personnel in the field can take the most appropriate actions without delay highlights that communication is the most critical service required for disaster management and coordination. The significance of instant sharing of data or high-resolution multimedia content such as photos and videos, remote access to institutional databases, access to biometric data, utilization of geographic information systems, and the use of law enforcement technologies were underscored by the earthquakes centered in Kahramanmaraş. In addition to all other preparations, supporting the decision-making processes of disaster managers and ensuring coordination to reduce loss of life and property, and to provide the best possible assistance to disaster victims through the efficient use of resources underscores the significant role of law enforcement technologies.

Land consolidation can be considered as a rural revitalization project encompassing the aggregation of fragmented parcels, the creation of agricultural parcels suitable for farming, the organization of rural roads, and the establishment of irrigation and drainage systems, alongside the provision of sociocultural facilities. These evaluation methods can assist policymakers, land administrators, and decision-makers, especially considering the rapid progress of land consolidation projects in Türkiye, in improving these projects that require high costs and significant efforts. In the monitoring and evaluation of land consolidation projects, numerous researchers have developed methods. In land consolidation projects, among the project objectives are achieving the optimal parcel size due to the growth of enterprise and providing road services to all parcels. Research in the literature is still lacking in terms of evaluating the distances of parcels from the village centre and the densities of the rural roads constructed in land consolidation projects, in addition to the optimal parcel size. The use of geographic information systems (GIS) can be valuable in the evaluation of land consolidation projects, as GIS-generated maps not only aid in assessment but also provide easily understandable interpretations. The aim of this study is to examine road lengths before and after a land consolidation project, as well as the spatial changes of parcels, using geographic information systems. The cadastral data of Tatkınlık Village in Arguvan District of Malatya Province constitute the main material of the research. In line with this objective, geospatial analyses were conducted using Kernel Density and Line Density tools. The ArcMAP program's Model Builder Tool was employed to process the data obtained from NetCAD. As a result of the research, it was observed that road density increased in areas where parcel sizes decreased. The regions with the highest parcel and road density are situated around the village centre. In addition to the optimal size of agricultural operations, the distance to the village centre also affects fuel expenses. Therefore, the aggregation of small-scale parcels around the village centre can be considered one of the indicators of success for land consolidation projects. Density analyses can assist decision-makers in evaluating, interpreting, and determining priority land consolidation areas. Additionally, the indicators for road lengths developed in this study can be utilized in studies conducted on road lengths. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to examine the effects of pollution coming from point sources within the basin of Kesikköprü dam lake, which is considered a source of drinking water supply for Ankara province, considering the increasing population between 2022 and 2050, and the wastewater. The point sources of pollution in a region include domestic and industrial wastewater and solid waste leachate incoming to the receiving environment. A methodology for calculating total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total suspended solids (TSS) loads, which are pollutant loads coming from point sources, is presented and region-specific findings and results are obtained. The study area is divided into 33 sub-basins and point pollution sources in each sub-basin are determined. The loads occurring in these sources are calculated according to unit pollution values. In addition to the pollution loads from point sources existing in the basin in 2022, the change in loads in 5-year periods between 2022 and 2050 is also estimated according to the population projection in the region. Thematic maps showing the spatial distribution of the results are created using ArcGIS 10.8. The calculated point source pollution loads reveal that if no improvement for wastewater treatment is made by 2050, they will increase parallel to the population growth, creating a significant pollution load on the dam lake from which drinking water is supplied, and negatively affecting water quality in the reservoir.

Recently, myriad studies have defined the versatile abilities of gasotransmitters and their synthesizing enzymes to play a "Maestro" role in orchestrating several oncological and non-oncological circuits and, thus, nominated them as possible therapeutic targets. Although a significant amount of work has been conducted on the role of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO) and their inter-relationship in the field of oncology, research about hydrogen sulfide (H2S) remains in its infancy. Recently, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) have been reported to play a dominating role in the regulation of the endogenous machinery system of H2S in several pathological contexts. A growing list of microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are leading the way as upstream regulators for H2S biosynthesis in different mammalian cells during the development and progression of human diseases; therefore, their targeting can be of great therapeutic benefit. In the current review, the authors shed the light onto the biosynthetic pathways of H2S and their regulation by miRNAs and lncRNAs in various oncological and non-oncological disorders.

Maps produced using remote sensing (RS) and photogrammetry techniques are commonly used today. Alongside rapidly advancing technology, RS, photogrammetric sensors, and transportation platforms are changing and evolving. Particularly, the advancement in unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has facilitated access to aerial images. Besides being faster compared to other methods, the inclusion of spatial information makes UAV imagery advantageous. The increasing urban population and the expansion, renewal, and growth of cities have heightened the need for rapidly and accurately collected spatial data. UAV usage is one of the methods in accessing the required raw data. 3D building models, being a crucial component of 3D virtual city models, play an important role in detecting existing buildings through digital products produced via photogrammetric methods from UAV-obtained aerial imagery. Considering that our country is prone to earthquakes, there is a significant need for 3D virtual models of our cities. The possible creation of a 3D virtual city model enables the determination of material damage post-earthquake and facilitates access to information about the residents in the area. In this study, the New Neighborhood district of Şefaatli, Yozgat, was selected as the application area. As a result of the study, a 3D virtual model of the neighborhood located in the stream bed was created. The 3D virtual model has successfully achieved its purpose by carrying information in addition to the 3D appearance of the buildings in the attribute data. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study is to determine non-point pollution sources in the Kesikköprü Reservoir basin as well as to estimate the amount of pollution carried into the reservoir by surface flows from non-point sources. Water quality at the Kesikköprü reservoir has been negatively affected by nutrients from non-point pollution sources in the surrounding basin. These sources are identified as actions caused by land use practices (agricultural areas, urban zones, meadows, pastures, and natural vegetation areas), fertilizer use for agricultural activities, livestock activities, leaks from individual septic tanks, and atmospheric deposition in the basin. To estimate the pollution from non-point sources, sub-basin boundaries were established by using digital elevation maps within the existing basin boundaries of Kesikköprü Reservoir. The pollution loads namely, total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) from non-point sources in sub-basins are calculated for the year of 2022. The areal distributions of the obtained results are presented as digital maps generated by using ArcGIS 10.8, a Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Non-point pollution loads have been found to occur to a greater extent in the KAH-10 and KAH-2 subbasins, which have the largest areas among the sub-basins and have a high intensity of anthropogenic activities, in comparison to other sub-basins.

Background: Previous studies have shown that magnetic susceptibility is increased in several subcortical regions in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). However, it is still unclear how subcortical and cortical susceptibilities vary across different PSP variants, Parkinson's disease (PD), and corticobasal syndrome (CBS). Objective: This study aims to clarify the susceptibility profiles in the subcortical and cortical regions in different PSP variants, PD, and CBS. Methods: Sixty‐four patients, 20 PSP‐Richardson syndrome (PSP‐RS), 9 PSP‐parkinsonism (PSP‐P), 7 PSP‐progressive gait freezing, 4 PSP‐postural instability, 11 PD, and 13 CBS, and 20 cognitively normal control subjects underwent a 3‐Tesla magnetic resonance imaging scan to reconstruct quantitative susceptibility maps. Region‐of‐interest analysis was performed to obtain susceptibility in several subcortical and cortical regions. Bayesian linear mixed effect models were used to estimate susceptibility within group and differences between groups. Results: In the subcortical regions, patients with PSP‐RS and PSP‐P showed greater susceptibility than control subjects in the pallidum, substantia nigra, red nucleus, and cerebellar dentate (P < 0.05). Patients with PSP‐RS also showed greater susceptibility than patients with PSP‐progressive gait freezing, PD, and CBS in the red nucleus and cerebellar dentate, and patients with PSP‐P showed greater susceptibility than PD in the red nucleus. Patients with PSP‐postural instability and CBS showed greater susceptibility than control subjects in the pallidum and substantia nigra. No significant differences were observed in any cortical region. Conclusions: The PSP variants and CBS had different patterns of magnetic susceptibility in the subcortical regions. The findings will contribute to our understanding about iron profiles and pathophysiology of PSP and may provide a potential biomarker to differentiate PSP variants, PD, and CBS. © 2023 International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society.

As a non-essential amino acid, cysteine could be obtained through both exogenous uptake and endogenous de novo synthesis pathways. Research has demonstrated that restricting the uptake of cystine could result in a depletion of intracellular cysteine and glutathione, ultimately leading to an increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. However, the role of methionine in regulating intracellular ROS levels is currently unclear. Here, we want to explore the role of methionine in regulating intracellular ROS levels. We found that methionine restriction could lead to a decrease in intracellular ROS levels, while supplementation with SAM can restore these levels through flow cytometry. Mechanically, we found that the methionine-SAM axis relies on CBS when regulating intracellular ROS levels. Furthermore, we speculate and prove that the methionine-SAM-CBS axis alters the metabolism of serine, thereby reducing intracellular reductive power, therefore promoting intracellular ROS levels through changing metabolite levels and genetic methods. Finally, our study revealed that high expression of CBS in tumor cells could lead to increased intracellular ROS levels, ultimately resulting in faster proliferation rates. Together, our study confirmed that methionine plays a promoting role in the regulation of intracellular ROS levels. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Magnesium (Mg2+) is the most abundant divalent cation in cells and plays key roles in almost all biological processes. CBS‐pair domain divalent metal cation transport mediators (CNNMs) are a newly characterized class of Mg2+ transporters present throughout biology. Originally discovered in bacteria, there are four CNNM proteins in humans, which are involved in divalent cation transport, genetic diseases, and cancer. Eukaryotic CNNMs are composed of four domains: an extracellular domain, a transmembrane domain, a cystathionine‐β‐synthase (CBS)‐pair domain, and a cyclic nucleotide‐binding homology domain. The transmembrane and CBS‐pair core are the defining features of CNNM proteins with over 20 000 protein sequences known from over 8000 species. Here, we review the structural and functional studies of eukaryotic and prokaryotic CNNMs that underlie our understanding of their regulation and mechanism of ion transport. Recent structures of prokaryotic CNNMs confirm the transmembrane domain mediates ion transport with the CBS‐pair domain likely playing a regulatory role through binding divalent cations. Studies of mammalian CNNMs have identified new binding partners. These advances are driving progress in understanding this deeply conserved and widespread family of ion transporters.
