Guleryuz, Didem
Since soil temperature (ST) is one of the most critical determinants affecting the soil’s physical and chemical properties, the studies on soil temperature estimation increase with the widespread use of deep learning and machine learning algorithms. This study estimates soil temperature at four depths for Giresun and Bayburt stations in Turkey employing the Bayesian Tuned Gaussian Process Regression (BT-GPR), Bayesian Tuned Support Vector Regression (BT-SVR), and Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) models. The stations were selected from semiarid (Bayburt station) and very humid (Giresun station) climates to compare the models’ performance and measure their applicability in different climate classes. Common meteorological indicators were determined as input parameters in the developed models, and a five-and-a-half-year daily dataset was used for all models. This paper represents a novel scheme to optimize the hyperparameters of kernel functions for GPR and SVR models using the Bayesian optimization method to expand predictive efficiency. The developed GPR and SVR models’ outputs are compared with LSTM via three statistical metrics comprising the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and the coefficient of determination (R2). The results show that the BT-GPR model has a superior estimation ability than other developed models for the two stations. The daily ST estimation with the highest accuracy was obtained at a 5-cm depth using BT-GPR at Giresun station (RMSE = 0.0439, R2 = 0.9535, MAE = 0.0344 in the testing phase) and Bayburt station (RMSE = 0.0525, R2 = 0.9438, MAE = 0.0412 in the testing phase). These outcomes provide helpful benchmarking guidance for future soil temperature investigation at various depths across the selected regions.

Çoban, Ömer; Tekmen, Süleyman; Gür, Emre; Tüzemen, Sebahattin
In this study, NiO and WO3 oxide semiconductors were fabricated on glass substrates by RF Magnetron Sputtering technique. Structural and optical characterizations of the semiconductors were performed using XRD, SEM, and optical absorption measurements. NiO and WO3 thin films were occasionally coated with palladium. In order to investigate the optical response of these semiconductors under hydrogen gas exposure, an optical gas sensor test system was installed and programmed. In both of the coated and uncoated cases, optical absorption changes due to hydrogen gas exposure on the surface were investigated. It was observed that these changes occur between 450 and 850 nm wave lengths range. The absorption in the NiO semiconductor was reduced between these wave lengths, while the absorption was increased in the WO3 semiconductor. In the uncoated state, only NiO gave an optical response to hydrogen gas. While the palladium coated NiO (Pd/NiO) sensor had the best response and recovery times of respectively 70 s and 206 s for 2% fraction of H2 gas at 300 °C constant temperature, the Pd/WO3 sensor gave the best response time of 340 s. Palladium coating resulted in approximately 150% increase in the responses of the NiO sensors at higher H2 concentration. The lower limit of H2 sensing of the Pd/NiO sensors at 300 °C was at the H2 fraction of 0.05%, while for Pd/WO3 sensors this value was 0.025%.

Koç, Tuğba Akkoyun
Epics, in which various events such as war, famine, internal political conflicts, and natural disasters, have deep traces in the minds of nations and are conveyed through generations with mythological elements that are not too far from the Dede Korkut Stories. Mythic period traces found in the stories have formed a layered structure equipped with concentrated information. Although chronologically, the first layer is actually the last layer added, it is the most understandable and appealing layer to the general reader. The latter layers are much deeper because its context diverges a little further from the reader. In order to reach the deep structure, as aimed in this study, the method of discourse analysis, which focuses on the archeology of the text, is based on the dominance of the ideology on the text, and the perspectives of linguistic anthropology has been used; since the words and structures they form in the texts come into existence not by chance but by “selection”, These two fields of study are always in an interaction and exchange with each other. According to research, climate plays a very important role in the formation of civilization and interacts with their social, economic, and political elements. Thus, climate changes and their consequences (famine, migration, etc.), wars, important warriors, opinion leaders, and victories throughouth the world can be conveyed through literary texts. When the layered structure in the Tepegoz story is examined, the connection between climate-human interaction is clearly seen. In this context, the story where Basat killed Tepegöz, has been analyzed with the support of data from various disciplines such as environmental history, medicine, climatology, zoology, geology, geography, and toponym, in accordance with the interdisciplinary dimension of discourse analysis; as a result, the Tepegoz-harsh winter link was revealed. As per the concept of Tepegöz; it has been observed that there is reference to the long and harsh winters that prevent access to a healthy metabolism, accommodation, and eating, which are basic human needs. It is possible to assume that “fantastic” beings like Cyclops, which can be found in myths, epics, fairy tales and legends, express a non-human threat that brings human life to an end in various ways.

Ozden, Erdemalp; Guleryuz, Didem
In Economic Development, human capital was previously seen as production factors but gradually evolved into endogenous growth theories. Most of the previous studies have examined the relationships between economic development and human capital via econometric models. Since this relationship is usually nonlinear and machine learning (ML) models can resolve it better, this study investigates the relationships by employing ML methods to provide a new perspective. For this purpose, the optimized ML methods, namely Bayesian Tuned Support Vector Machine and Bayesian Tuned Gaussian Process Regression (BT-GPR), were performed to develop the prediction model for economic development. The hyperparameters have been optimized with the Bayes method by using different kernel functions to increase SVM and GPR methods' predictive performance. The Multiple Linear Regression model has been employed to make a comparison as an econometric model. The performance of the models is evaluated using three statistical metrics, namely, the root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R2). The BT-GPR with the exponential kernel model has superior prediction ability with the highest accuracy (R2: 0.9727, RMSE: 0.4022, MAE: 0.3728 in the testing phase). The study shows that the BT-GPR model increases the accuracy of R2 6.4%, RMSE 10.7%, and MAE 1% compared with other developed models.

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) were isolated from traditional sourdough samples, and functional properties of selected LAB species were determined. Five distinct strains Limosilactobacillus fermentum LR1, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus LR2, Levilactobacillus senmaizukei CE37, Lactiplantibacillus plantarum CE48 and Limosilactobacillus reuteri KD44A were identified following the genotypic discrimination of hundred isolates. Presence of bacteriocin genes in identified species was determined by PCR, and sourdough isolates have been shown to carry bacteriocin genes although they vary according to species. Exopolysaccharide (EPS) production tests showed that the amount of EPS production varies in different media and different incubation conditions. Antimicrobial effects of 5 different LAB species were determined against Bacillus cereus BC 6830, which cause rop problems, and other pathogen species and also molds isolated from bread. Amylolytic activities of isolates, which are important in terms of technological roles, were determined genotypically and phenotypically. Finally, the phytase and phosphatase activities of these species were studied. This study was aimed to unveil the functional sourdough LAB species to be used for industrial purposes.

Salvia species showed sensitivity with a zone diameter of 12–16 mm. Concentrations of 0.5 mg/ml to 16 mg/ml by the dilution method were used to determine the Minimum inhibited concentration (MIC) and Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBK). The MIC values of the plants are mostly 0.5 mg/ml - 4 mg/ml and MBC values are between 0.5 mg/ml - 8 mg/ml. Antifungal activity findings are remarkable on the species and it has been observed to have very high effects especially on Candida parapsilosis. When the antioxidant research findings are examined; It was observed that Salvia marashica and Salvia caespitosa plants have approximately 75% antioxidant activity at 1 mg/ml, and findings mostly directly proportional between concentrations and antioxidant activity capacity were recorded. MCF-7 and HUVEC cell lines were used to investigate anticancer activity properties. In line with the findings, while the IC50 value of Salvia marashica on the MCF-7 Cell line was 0.125 mg/ml, it was 1.65 mg/ml in the HUVEC cell line, while the IC50 value of Salvia caespitosa on the MCF-7 Cell line was 0.115 mg/ml in the HUVEC Cell line. It was found to be 9.87 mg/ml. It has been proven that both Salvia species have a cytotoxic effect on the MCF-7 Cell line.

Yilmazel, Sefa Emre; Özer, Leyla
Purpose: The aim of this study is to determine the effects of brand components (CBBE, brand fit, brand image, brand reputation, brand familiarity) on consumers brand portfolio attitude via perceived risk (for two main portfolio strategies). Design/methodology/approach: The study used a structured questionnaire to collect primary data from 636 consumers who made purchases from companies using house of brand (318) and branded house strategy (318). By conducting reliability and validity analysis, the model of this study was tested with confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis methods, using structural equation modeling. Findings: According to the results of the path analysis, the effects of CBBE and brand reputation on brand attitude were confirmed for both house of brand and branded house strategy. Moreover, the full and partial mediating effect of perceived risk was proven in the relationships. Research limitations/implications: One of the limitations of the study is determining a portfolio of brands for each strategy and collecting data for these brands. In addition, since the number of consumers using brand portfolios could not be reached in the study, data could be collected using the purposeful convenience sampling method. For this reason, it is thought that research conducted with the data obtained through systematic sampling methods can yield more reliable results. Practical implications: Managers of companies with a brand portfolio should work on a main strategy that enhances CBBE and brand reputation regardless of the strategy they use. After these two variables, the variable that portfolio managers need to address is brand fit. Originality/value: It will offer different perspectives in terms of understanding which portfolio strategy is needed, and which predecessors and outputs can be produced. Also, the findings of the research will produce important results to reduce the perceived risks of consumers and increase their positive attitudes toward brand portfolios.

Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) is a pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are becoming increasingly common in various diseases. This study aims to investigate mutations in the cytochrome-b (CYB) and adenosine triphosphatase-6 (ATPase-6) genes of mtDNA in COVID-19 patients. The association between mtDNA mutations and clinical outcomes is investigated here. In the present study, mutations of the mtDNA genes CYB and ATPase-6 were investigated in COVID-19 (+) (n = 65) and COVID-19 (−) patients (n = 65). First, we isolated DNA from the blood samples. After the PCR analyses, the mutations were defined using Sanger DNA sequencing. The age, creatinine, ferritin, and CRP levels of the COVID 19 (+) patients were higher than those of the COVID-19 (−) patients (p = 0.0036, p = 0.0383, p = 0.0305, p < 0.0001, respectively). We also found 16 different mutations in the CYB gene and 14 different mutations in the ATPase-6 gene. The incidences of CYB gene mutations A15326G, T15454C, and C15452A were higher in COVID-19 (+) patients than COVID-19 (−) patients; p < 0.0001: OR (95% CI): 4.966 (2.215−10.89), p = 0.0226, and p = 0.0226, respectively. In contrast, the incidences of A8860G and G9055A ATPase-6 gene mutations were higher in COVID-19 (+) patients than COVID-19 (−) patients; p < 0.0001: OR (95%CI): 5.333 (2.359−12.16) and p = 0.0121 respectively. Yet, no significant relationship was found between mtDNA mutations and patients' age and biochemical parameters (p > 0.05). The results showed that the frequency of mtDNA mutations in COVID-19 patients is quite high and it is important to investigate the association of these mutations with other genetic mechanisms in larger patient populations.

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) from different niches can be responsible for the production of distinct exopolysaccharides (EPS) that might possess important structural and technological features. In this respect, the aim of this study was to isolate an EPS producer LAB strain from bee pollen environment. Leuconostoc mesenteroides BI-20 with a slimy-mucoid colony morphology was identified from bee pollen and the structural, technological and functional characteristics of EPS produced by this strain were determined. EPS BI-20 was a highly branched dextran containing 20% (1 → 3)-linked α-D-glucose branches determined by 1H and 13C NMR analysis. The presence of (1 → 6)/(1 → 3)-linked α-D-glucose linkages in dextran BI-20 was also confirmed by FTIR analysis. Dextran BI-20, with a molecular weight of 1 × 108 Da, possessed strong thermal properties, amorphous nature and highly branched and fibrous microstructural characteristics determined by DSC, TGA, XRD and SEM analysis, respectively. In terms of functional roles, dextran BI-20 demonstrated strong antioxidant capacity detected by ABTS and CUPRAC tests. Finally, no digestion was observed in dextran BI-20 under simulated gastric conditions. Results of this study unveiled techno-functional characteristics of dextran BI-20 produced by a bee pollen isolate LAB strain.

Cobalt aluminate is one of the most widely-used spinel aluminate types. It is known that various structural, magnetic and morphological properties of spinel ceramics can vary depending on the synthesis technique and the starting chemicals used. In this study, initially, heat treatment was applied to cobalt aluminate nanoparticles synthesized by the microwave-assisted combustion method and the effects of the applied heat treatment on the structural properties were investigated. Characterization studies showed that cobalt aluminate spinel pigments were successfully synthesized. The optimum heat treatment temperature was determined as 700 °C. Then, the synthesized cobalt aluminate nanoparticles were used as photocatalysts for dye removal by photocatalytic oxidation from a synthetic wastewater containing Astrazon red textile dye and their photocatalytic activity was investigated at different catalyst dosages. Moreover, the same particles were also produced by conventional combustion technique. Then, their photocatalytic activities were studied and the data were compared with the results obtained from the experiments made with the samples produced with microwave assisted combustion method under the same experimental conditions. The results show that cobalt aluminate nanoparticles synthesized by microwave assisted combustion exhibit a better photocatalytic activity. In experiments performed with samples produced via microwave-assisted combustion method, all dyestuff content in the solution containing 50 mg/L dye was completely removed under UV irradiation for approximately 60 min. It was determined that the catalyst dosage had an effect on the reaction rate and the reaction was found to be compatible with the pseudo first order kinetic model.

This study aimed to evaluate prospective elementary school teachers’ skills in creating written and oral arguments about the ecology. The case study method, one of the qualitative research approaches, was used. The study group consisted of 38 prospective elementary school teachers studying in the third year of an elementary teaching undergraduate program. As data collection tools, an expressions table containing ecology topics was designed by the researchers to evaluate the written argument creation skills of the participants and audio recordings of discussions were used to determine their oral argument creation skills. Descriptive analysis was used to analyze the data obtained in these ways. According to the findings of this research, the written and oral arguments of these prospective elementary school teachers were concentrated at a moderate level, but their oral arguments were at a higher level than their written arguments. It can be concluded that oral classroom discussions are more effective than written activities in creating arguments about the ecology.

Wastewater-based disease monitoring is an early warning system and a surveillance tool for infectious disease outbreaks regarding pathogens with pandemic potential. This study aimed at investigating the recovery efficiency of centrifugal ultrafiltration (CeUF), which is one of the most-used virus concentration methods, for inactive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavi-rus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) added to wastewater. Inactivated SARS-CoV-2 was inoculated into untreated wastewater at different concentrations (4 × 103, 8 × 103, 16 × 103, 24 × 103 and 32 × 103 gene copy/ µL) and concentrated through ultrafiltration with a disposable centrifugal filter device. Total nucleic acids in concentrated filtrates were extracted and isolated by an automated system. In isolates, total RNA was measured by a UV/VIS spectrophotometer, and the recovered virus was quanti-fied by RT-qPCR with two gene regions (N1 and N2). The recovery rates were between 11% and 17.8% (mean 15.1%, CV below 15%). While there were positive correlations among the inoculated virus, total RNA and recovered virus, there was no correlation and linearity between the recovery rates. Despite limited recovery rates, CeUF integrated with RT-qPCR quantification can be a valid assay for monitoring SARS-CoV-2 in wastewater, and an early warning system.

Türkiye’s migrant integration policy, which is one of the most migration-receiving countries in the Middle East owing to regional conflicts during the 2000s, is assessed alongside that of other receiving nations in the “Migrant Integration Policy Index” (MIPEX). These index ranks nations in eight key categories: labor market mobility, family reunion, education, health, political participation, permanent residence, access to nationality, and anti-discrimination. This study examines Türkiye’s change in migration policy ratings by comparing the index 2015 and 2020 with six European countries (Germany, Belgium, France, Norway, Finland, Sweden). It is found that there was a significant disparity in index scores between Türkiye and these European countries in the 2015 MIPEX report; however, this difference has narrowed in the 2020 report. Türkiye’s migrant integration policy rankings have improved substantially (+17), according to the 2020 report. As a result, Türkiye’s policy indicator has increased from “slightly unfavourable” to “halfway favourable”. Although this score and increase are not at the desired level, they may indicate comprehensive improvements in Türkiye’s integration policies in the following report.

The Mediterranean region is increasingly recognized as a climate change hotspot but is highly underrepresented in hydrological climate change studies. This study aims to investigate the climate change effects on the hydrology of Lakhmass catchment in Tunisia. Lakhmass catchment is a part of the Medium Valley of Medjerda in northwestern Tunisia that drains an area of 126 km². First, the Hydrologiska Byråns Vattenbalansavdelning light (HBV-light) model was calibrated and validated successfully at a daily time step to simulate discharge during the 1981–1986 period. The Nash Sutcliffe Efficiency and Percent bias (NSE, PBIAS) were (0.80, +2.0%) and (0.53, −9.5%) for calibration (September 1982–August 1984) and validation (September 1984–August 1986) periods, respectively. Second, HBV-light model was considered as a predictive tool to simulate discharge in a baseline period (1981–2009) and future projections using data (precipitation and temperature) from thirteen combinations of General Circulation Models (GCMs) and Regional Climatic Models (RCMs). We used two trajectories of Representative Concentration Pathways, RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, suggested by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Each RCP is divided into three projection periods: near-term (2010–2039), mid-term (2040–2069) and long-term (2070–2099). For both scenarios, a decrease in precipitation and discharge will be expected with an increase in air temperature and a reduction in precipitation with almost 5% for every +1 °C of global warming. By long-term (2070–2099) projection period, results suggested an increase in temperature with about 2.7 °C and 4 °C, and a decrease in precipitation of approximately 7.5% and 15% under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. This will likely result in a reduction of discharge of 12.5% and 36.6% under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5, respectively. This situation calls for early climate change adaptation measures under a participatory approach, including multiple stakeholders and water users.
