Due to climate change, forest tree species are expected to be impacted by drought. As drought becomes a worldwide problem, there is a need to investigate the responses of forest tree species to drought. In this study, the objectives were (I) to determine the physiological and biochemical responses of seedlings grown from seeds obtained from different populations of Quercus petraea subsp. iberica naturally distributed in Turkey under drought stress, (II) to establish the relationships between morphological variations among populations and the physiological and biochemical responses of seedlings to drought stress, and (III) to provide recommendations for the selection of populations with better adaptation to drought for future afforestation activities. It was determined that total carotenoid, proline, and total carbohydrate contents increased, while predawn xylem water potential, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and total chlorophyll amounts decreased in seedlings exposed to drought stress as the stress intensity increased. Furthermore, strong relationships were revealed between root percentage and Dickson quality index, which are important for seedling quality classification, and the physiological and biochemical responses of populations to drought stress. The populations of Alucra, Koyulhisar, and Mesudiye with water potential above -1.0 MPa during the drought stress experiment and experiencing more severe summer drought in their natural habitats have apparently exhibited higher drought tolerance compared to other populations.

Various trends have driven the digital transformation of health: Developments in digital technologies, pressures for cause reduction in healthcare and increasing demand and expenditures from aging populations. In parallel, Turkey is actively engaged in a great transformative journey with its Health Transformation Program (HTP) since 2003, embracing the age of digitalization in healthcare. This study explores the interplay among historical discourse, political influences, technological advancements which shaped the centralization of Turkey's health system. Specifically, it delves into how Turkey's healthcare system has undergone centralization under the aegis of digital transformation. Amidst this transition, a compelling question arises: How has the positive perception of digital health innovations by both the public and authoritative health institutions converged with the challenges posed by low health and digital literacy levels? This article uses the concept of biomedicalization to encompass the multisited and multidirectional health transformation processes in Turkey. By cultivating a technology-friendly environment, the nation is nurturing (bio)digital citizens through the process of biomedicalization. Drawing on a historical narrative of Turkey's digital health transformation, the article posits that the phenomenon of biomedicalization in the country, molded by intricate multidimensional factors at both micro and macro levels, compels policymakers, privacy advocates, and lawmakers to devise effective and sustainable regulations concerning data utilization, protection, and privacy. By investigating these dynamics, the research provides insights into how a country like Turkey navigates the multifaceted aspects of digital health implementation, shedding light on the potential strategies and mechanisms that enable the successful adoption of digital technologies in healthcare despite existing limitations. This contribution to the broader discourse on digital transformation enriches our understanding of the intricacies involved in leveraging technology to enhance healthcare systems, especially in contexts where there are literacy levels might pose.

Background: Healthcare-associated infections cause high mortality an d m orbidity, and lack of stethoscope disinfection is one of the reaso ns f or healthcare-associated infections. Nurses who frequently use stet h oscopes in the clinic do not disinfect stethoscopes at high rates. This study aimed to identify the frequency of stethoscope disinfection by nurses and their knowledge about the same. Methods: This was a mixed-methods observational study. The quantita ti ve part of the study included 202 nurses, the qualitative part include d 1 2. Two researchers who made observations during stethoscope use recorded the procedures the nurses performed on the "Observation Form". Semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted based on phenomenological methods. Results: 23.7% of the nurses disinfected their stethoscopes before contact with patients, 11.8% after contact with patients and 6.4% before and after contact with patients. The nurses used a stethoscope on an average of 7.42 patients without disinfecting it. In the qualitative interview, some nurses stated that they did not have information about the disinfectants to be used for stethoscopes and their effectiveness. Some of the participants in the present study stated that they did not receive training on stethoscope disinfection and that they did not know that there were guidelines about it. Conclusion: Since there were deficiencies in the implementation of stethoscope disinfection as well as knowledge, the transfer of knowledge in this context must receive more attention in education and training.

In diesem Artikel stehen die Wechselwirkungen zwischen einer autoritären Präsidialregierung und dem Management von Pandemiedaten im Fokus. Ein besonderes Augenmerk liegt auf der Analyse der Datenpolitiken in diesem autoritären Kontext unter Einsatz von Hayat Eve Sığar (HES), dem türkischen Kontaktverfolgungs- und Proximitysystem sowie der dazugehörigen Anwendung. Ethnografisch werden die komplexen und sich ständig verändernden Landschaften viraler Daten erkundet. In diesem Zusammenhang wird verdeutlicht, wie die Frage der (Un-)Regierbarkeit inmitten der Pandemie durch die politische Gestaltung und Nutzung von Daten wahrgenommen, verhandelt und herausgefordert wird. Mit einem speziellen Fokus auf autoritäre Geflechte trägt dieser Beitrag zur Analyse von Datenpolitiken in digitalen, datengesättigten Gesellschaften bei. Autoritäre Geflechte, so das Argument, formen sich in Zeiten von Krisen wie der viralen Pandemie flexibel neu. Diese wirken subtil und schleichend auf die Machtverhältnisse im Zusammenhang mit Daten ein und beeinflussen die datenpolitischen Auseinandersetzungen, bleiben jedoch oft im Verborgenen.

Wilhelm Salomon-Calvi had a brilliant scientific career as full professor for geology and palaeontology at the University of Heidelberg. He felt like a German patriot, acted accordingly and was named honorary citizen of the city of Heidelberg. At the end of his professional life, he was pushed out by the Nazis as a Jew and emigrated to Turkey. In Ankara, he greatly advanced geological education and knowledge, in particular about the groundwater resources. In the tectonically active country, he developed first-ever guidelines to limit damage from earthquakes for the first time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article concerns the development of archaeology and museology, in the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, and Greece, through the life and career of Théodore Macridy. Macridy participated in knowledge transfer in more than one discipline and more than one country. Through his links with Western academic circles in archaeology and museology, he made a significant contribution to their development in the Ottoman Empire, Turkey, and Greece. Living between the Ottoman and Greek epistemic communities as an Ottoman citizen of Greek origin, he excavated numerous sites of the Ottoman Empire, worked at the Ottoman Imperial Museum, and contributed to the foundation of the Benaki Museum in Athens at the end of his career. This makes him a good example of an Ottoman Greek scholar whose liminal identity led to his relative neglect in both Greek and Turkish archaeology and museology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this research was to investigate the energy input-output analysis of apple produced in Karaman province of Central Anatolian Region in Turkey. This research was conducted at the apple cultivating facilities during the 2016 and 2017 production seasons in Karaman province. Production data of this research were collected in 2018. In order to determine the energy use efficiency of apple cultivation, various surveys were conducted at the 180 apple farms located in Karaman and selected through Simple Random Sampling method. The data were collected by face to face questionnaires and observations. The agricultural input and output energies used in apple cultivation were calculated to determine the energy input-output analysis. The energy input and output values in apple production were calculated as 78,378.08 MJ ha−1 and 99,959.60 MJ ha−1, respectively. Based on these research findings, the energy inputs in apple cultivation were 15,364.70 MJ ha−1 (19.60%) chemical fertilizers energy, 31,623.70 MJ ha−1 (40.35%) diesel fuel energy, 13,864.40 MJ ha−1 (17.69%) chemicals energy, 6998.40 MJ ha−1 (8.93%) machinery energy, 5738.88 MJ ha−1 (7.32%) human labor energy 2016 MJ ha−1 (2.57%) irrigation water energy and 2772.00 MJ ha−1 (3.54%) electricity energy, respectively. Yield output energy of apple production was calculated as 99,959.60 MJ ha−1. The energy productivity, specific energy, energy use efficiency and net energy calculations were also calculated as 0.54 kg MJ−1, 1.84 MJ kg−1, 1.28 and 21,581.52 MJ ha−1, respectively.

Anatolia is one of the most important main gene centers of V. vinifera grapes in the world. Although The Black Sea Region has a fairly wide geographic area in Turkey, the European grapes are the least grown in this region except for V. labrusca grapes. Because of the having heavy rainfall in both spring and autumn of the region, when combined with insufficient sunshine during the vegetation period, V. vinifera cultivars are not be grown economically in this humid northern area. Samsun city is settled in the Black Sea region, and has two important agricultural plains. Although Samsun settled in this humid region, it has the least rainfall compared to other coastal provinces towards the Eastern Black Sea Region. In this study, the adaptation of some wine grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) in Samsun conditions is evaluated by examining the phenology and ripening characteristics of 'Merlot', 'Cabernet Sauvignon', 'Syrah', 'Ugni Blanc', 'Kalecik Karası', 'Muscat' and 'Chardonnay'grapes from 2014 to 2016. Some different climatic indices were used to assess the potential of wine grape cultivars grown in this region. In the study, grapes were evaluated whether will grow or not suitable in this location by using Winkler Index (WI), Huglin Index (HI), Branas Heliothermic Index (BHI), and Hydrothermic Index (Hyl). When the climatic indices evaluated according to long term climate records; Huglin index 1983; Winkler index 1848; Branas Hyl 3991, and Heliothermic index were found as 3.5 oC. According to average values of 2014, 2015, and 2016 years; the Huglin index 2290; Winkler index 2132; Branas Hyl index 5198, and Heliothermic index was determined as 3.8 oC. The phenological investigations and the evaluated climatic records showed that the research area is very favorable to grow wine grapes. According to Hyl results, moderate fungal disease risk might be considered for the central coastal area of the Samsun region. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study was conducted to determine quality criteria of raisins served to taste of consumers in local bazaars and identify their compliance with the standards. Raisin samples randomly taken from local bazaars in Midyat town of Mardin province and Beşiri town of Batman province were used as the material of the study. A total of 30 samples (15 from each town) were subjected to physicochemical analyses (100-raisin weight, number of raisins per 100 g, average raisin width, average raisin length, average number of seeds, average seed weight, raisin skin color parameters, chroma and hue angle, pH, TSSC (total soluble solid contents), maturity index, water content, ash content, specific gravity and total acidity). According to size characteristics specified in Turkish Food Codex, in terms of number of raisins per 100 g, all samples, except for M‑2 (large), were classified in jumbo (very large) class. In terms of chroma values, M‑13 (15.97) and B‑3 (6.51) samples had the greatest color saturation and M‑11 (3.64) and B‑13 (0.22) samples had the opaquest colors. In terms of hue angle values, M‑3 (312.59) and B‑13 (112.28) samples had the darkest blue color and M‑10 (54.09) and B‑1 (85.92) samples had the darkest red-purple color. In terms of pH values, M‑6 (4.68) samples were classified as moderately acidic foods and all the others were classified as acidic foods. Despite the lack of vertical food codex for raisins in Turkish Food Codex, compliance is required with the horizontal regulation provisions (labeling, contaminants, pesticide, additives, microbiological criteria and etc. applied to all foodstuffs). Present findings revealed that there were no standard productions in raisins sold in public bazaars. Thus, it was concluded that improper storage and marketing conditions could pose serious risks on public health. Therefore, raisin topic should urgently be issues and relevant controls should be made accordingly. A similar study was not conducted in Midyat and Beşiri towns of Southeastern Anatolia region. Thus, present findings may guide further researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Der folgende Beitrag befasst sich mit dem Zusammenhang von Geschlechter- und Raumordnungen. Auf der Grundlage einer ethnografischen Studie in der südosttürkischen Provinz Hatay wird aufgezeigt, wie vergeschlechtlichte Raumordnungen die Raumund Mobilitätspraktiken von Frauen und Mädchen prägen und regulieren. Eine zentrale Annahme der Studie ist, dass Zugängen zu Bildungseinrichtungen eine besondere Rolle zukommt, da durch neue Sichtbarkeiten und räumliche Mobilitätspraktiken junger Frauen und Mädchen die vorherrschende vergeschlechtlichte Raumordnung und die strikte Trennung des Raumes in öffentlich und privat irritiert werden.
