    Abstract Güneş enerjili sistemlerin tasarımı yapılırken güneş ışınlarından en iyi şekilde yararlanabilmek için güneş kollektörleri güneşe karşı doğru açıda yerleştirilmelidir. Bu şekilde daha fazla güneş ışınımının güneş kollektörü yüzeyine dik gelmesi sağlanmaktadır. Güneş geliş açıları, bölgenin coğrafik yapısına ve zamana bağlı olarak değişmektedir. Bu değişimlerin etkisini minimize etmek için güneş kollektörü belirli bir dönem boyunca o döneme uygun olacak şekilde optimum bir açıyla yerleştirilmelidir. Bu çalışmada güneş enerjili sistemlerde kollektörlerden yıl boyunca en iyi şekilde yararlanılabilmesi için kollektörün eğim açılarının çeşitli derece-gün bölgeleri için optimum değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Bunun için farklı derece-gün bölgelerinden dört şehir (İstanbul, Ankara, Erzurum, Adana) seçilmiştir ve her bir şehir için yılın her ayında kullanılabilecek optimum eğim açıları, teorik hesaplama ve Hottel & Woertz metotları ile ayrı ayrı belirlenmiş ve birbirleriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Sonuçlar incelendiğinde, teorik hesaplama metodu ile bulunan en yüksek optimum eğim açısının 56° ile Aralık ayında Erzurum ilinde, en düşük açının ise 12° ile Haziran ayında Adana ilinde gerçekleştiği görülmektedir. İki ayrı metotla hesaplanan optimum eğim açıları arasında en büyük fark İstanbul ilinde Ocak ayında .3 olarak gerçekleşirken, en düşük fark Ankara ve Erzurum illerinde Temmuz ayında %4 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Tüm şehirler ve tüm aylar hesaba katıldığında, iki yöntem arasındaki ortalama farkın .64 olduğu görülmüştür.

    Abstract The most widely used statistical method that is used to determine the wind energy potential for a specific region is Weibull distribution or probability function. Using two-parameter Weibull distribution function, wind characteristics such as mean wind speed and mean wind power can be forecasted. In this study, the mean wind speed and wind power potential for Antalya are determined using Graphical, Moment and Maximum Likelihood methods with the help of the data taken from Antalya-Elmalı Meteorological Station. In this way, predicting the wind energy potential of Antalya region, it is discussed whether the possible installation of a wind power plant is feasible or not in this area. The results obtained are evaluated by using error analysis methods that are the Coefficient of Determination (R2) and Root Mean Squares Error (RMSE).

    Abstract Introduction: Cardiac compression is a cumbersome procedure. The American Heart Association suggests switching of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) provider every 2 min to prevent any decrease in resuscitation quality. High quality CPR is associated with improved outcomes. Previous studies have highlighted the difficulties in providing high quality CPR particularly while wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of personal protective equipment (PPE) use on CPR quality in prehospital cardiac arrest situations. Methods: In this prospective simulation study, we compared the cardiac compression qualities and fatigue rates among prehospital health care professionals (HCPs) who were or were not using PPE. Results: A total of 76 prehospital HCPs comprising 38 compression teams participated in this study. The mean compression rate was 117.71 ± 8.27/min without PPE and 115.58 ± 9.02/min with PPE (p = 0.191). Overall compression score was 86.95 ± 4.39 without PPE and 61.89 ± 14.43 with PPE (p < 0.001). Post-cardiac compression fatigue score was 4.42 ± 0.5 among HCPs who used their standard uniform and 7.74 ± 0.92 among those who used PPE (p < 0.001). The overall compression score difference between the two conditions was 25.05 ± 11.74 and the fatigue score difference was 3.31 ± 0.98. Discussion: PPE use is associated with decreased cardiac compression quality and significantly higher fatigue rates than those associated with the use of standard uniforms. Routine use of mechanical compression devices should be considered when PPE is required for out-of-cardiac arrests.

    Abstract Aim: This study was aimed to evaluate the risk factors, associated complications, opioid requirements, and mortality rates of rib fractures. Materials and Methods: Patients with rib fractures who were admitted to the emergency department between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2020, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients' demographic data, rib fracture characteristics, trauma mechanism, associated complications, length of stay in the hospital, and in-hospital mortality were recorded. Results: A total of 1074 patients were included in the study. Most of the patients were male (n = 748, 69.6%) and the mean age was 53.89 ± 15.31 years. The mean number of fractured ribs was 3.65 ± 2.06. All patients with diaphragm laceration, atelectasis, pneumonia, ARDS, pneumomediastinum, lung herniation, flail chest, and empyema had six or more rib fractures. Comparison of died and survived patients showed statistically significant differences for age, gender, side of rib fracture, number of fractured ribs, and accompanying another organ injury. A moderate-strong correlation was found between the number of fractured ribs and pneumothorax, hemothorax, chest tube, opioid use, and length of stay in the hospital. Conclusion: Increased number of fractured ribs were associated with increased complications, opioid use, and length of stay in the hospital. The mortality rate was 8.8% in patients with 6 or more fractures. In-vehicle traffic accidents were the most common mechanism. Many of the rib fractures can be prevented if the measures are improved.

    Abstract Aim:This study aims to evaluate factors related to mortality in occupational injuries admitted to emergency departments (EDs).Materials and Methods:Patients admitted to the ED because of occupational injuries between January 2015 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The first admission to the ED following each occupational injury was recorded.Results:Three thousand and two hundred and forty patients included in the study. We observed that occupational injuries decreased with age and were more common in males (91.4%), in agriculture (27.6%) and construction (24.9%) industries, and in summer (29.9%) and spring (28%). Additionally, occupational injuries generally occurred due to falling (31.8%) and caused superficial injuries (39.8%). A majority of patients (83.6%) were discharged from the ED. Three hundred and fifty-one and 156 patients were hospitalized in the surgical clinics and intensive care unit respectively. A total of 25 and 18 patients died in ED and intensive care unit, respectively (total 43 deaths, 1.32%). Moreover, increasing age (p=0.000), construction industry (p=0.008), immigration (p=0.037) and working in night shifts (p=0.009) are independent risk factors related to mortality after occupational injuries.Conclusion:The labor conditions of immigrants as well as of those working at night shifts and in construction industry should be supervised. Their job security should be improved and working without social security should not be allowed.

    Abstract Objective: Reverse transcriptase loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) is one of the time-saving, accurate, and cost-effective alternative methods to real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). This study aimed to identify the robustness of a colorimetric RT-LAMP assay kit that we developed, detecting SARS-COV-2 viral RNA within 30 minutes using a primer set special to the N gene against RT-PCR, the gold standard.
    Materials and methods: Both symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects were included from a single university hospital and the status of both RT-PCR and RT-LAMP assay results were compared, and the consistency of these two assays was analyzed.
    Results: We showed that the RT-LAMP and RT-PCR assay results confirmed 90% consistency. When we consider the epidemiologic, clinical, and radiologic evaluation, the consistency reached 97%.
    Conclusion: The results revealed that the colorimetric RT-LAMP assay was efficient, robust, and rapid to be used as in vitro diagnostic tool to display competitiveness compared with RT-PCR.

    Abstract Microorganisms are crucial for human survival in view of both mutualistic and pathogen interactions. The control of the balance could be achieved by use of the antibiotics. There is a continuous arms race that exists between the pathogen and the antibiotics. The emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria threatens health even for insignificant injuries. However, the discovery of new antibiotics is not a fast process, and the healthcare system will suffer if the evolution of MDR lingers in its current frequency. The cationic photosensitizers (PSs) provide a unique approach to develop novel, light-inducible antimicrobial drugs. Here, we examine the antimicrobial activity of innovative selenophene-modified boron dipyrromethene (BODIPY)-based PSs on a variety of Gram (+) and Gram (-) bacteria. The candidates demonstrate a level of confidence in both light-dependent and independent inhibition of bacterial growth. Among them, selenophene conjugated PS candidates (BOD-Se and BOD-Se-I) are promising agents to induce photodynamic inhibition (PDI) on all experimented bacteria:

    Abstract Pyrenophora teres f. maculata (Ptm) is a fungal pathogen that causes the spot form of net blotch on barley and leads to economic losses in many of the world's barley-growing regions. Isolates of Ptm exhibit varying levels of aggressiveness that result in quantifiable changes in the severity of the disease. Previous research on plant-pathogen interactions has shown that such divergence is reflected in the proteome and secretome of the pathogen, with certain classes of proteins more prominent in aggressive isolates. Here we have made a detailed comparative analysis of the secretomes of two Ptm isolates, GPS79 and E35 (highly and mildly aggressive, respectively) using a proteomics-based approach. The secretomes were obtained in vitro using media amended with barley leaf sections. Secreted proteins therein were harvested, digested with trypsin, and fractionated offline by HPLC prior to LC-MS in a high-resolution instrument to obtain deep coverage of the proteome. The subsequent analysis used a label-free quantitative proteomics approach with relative quantification of proteins based on precursor ion intensities. A total of 1175 proteins were identified, 931 from Ptm and 244 from barley. Further analysis revealed 160 differentially abundant proteins with at least a two-fold abundance difference between the isolates, with the most enriched in the aggressive GPS79 secretome. These proteins were mainly cell-wall (carbohydrate) degrading enzymes and peptidases, with some oxidoreductases and other pathogenesis-related proteins also identified, suggesting that aggressiveness is associated with an improved ability of GPS79 to overcome cell wall barriers and neutralize host defense responses.

    Abstract The importance of wheat yellow rust disease, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), has increased substantially due to the emergence of aggressive new Pst races in the last couple of decades. In an era of escalating human populations and climate change, it is vital to understand the infection mechanism of Pst in order to develop better strategies to combat wheat yellow disease. The present study focuses on the identification of small secreted proteins (SSPs) and candidate-secreted effector proteins (CSEPs) that are used by the pathogen to support infection and control disease development. We generated de novo assembled transcriptomes of Pst collected from wheat fields in central Anatolia. We inoculated both susceptible and resistant seedlings with Pst and analyzed haustoria formation. At 10 days post-inoculation (dpi), we analyzed the transcriptomes and identified 10550 Differentially Expressed Unigenes (DEGs), of which 6072 were Pst-mapped. Among those Pst-related genes, 227 were predicted as PstSSPs. In silico characterization was performed using an approach combining the transcriptomic data and data mining results to provide a reliable list to narrow down the ever-expanding repertoire of predicted effectorome. The comprehensive analysis detected 14 Differentially Expressed Small-Secreted Proteins (DESSPs) that overlapped with the genes in available literature data to serve as the best CSEPs for experimental validation. One of the CSEPs was cloned and studied to test the reliability of the presented data. Biological assays show that the randomly selected CSEP, Unigene17495 (PSTG_10917), localizes in the chloroplast and is able to suppress cell death induced by INF1 in a Nicotiana benthamiana heterologous expression system.
