Being one of the most important ancient cities, Aizanoi in Kütayha's Çavdarhisar town is settled continuously by Turkish tribes from the 13th century onwards. As well as ancient building remains, buildings belonging to the Turkish-Islamic period can be seen in Çavdarhisar, and it is known that there are civil architectural works that preserve their original state. Some examples of these buildings are granaries. In Çavdarhisar, where the continental climate is dominant, almost all the agricultural production consists of grain products. The surplus of cereals such as barley, wheat and chickpeas or the seeds for the next year were stored in these granaries. Built with only wooden material using "çantı" technique (joint notched, also known as dog's neck cornered), the granaries were placed on simple foundation walls or stone blocks and raised from floor level by disconnecting their contact with the ground. Built in available places on house yards without any concerns about direction, it is not known when and by whom these granaries were built. Although many granaries in Çavdarhisar are known to be demolished, undone, or even sold to other cities; there are still some examples that preserve their original state. In this study, a total of eighteen granaries located in four neighborhoods of Çavdarhisar's old settlement will be introduced. By discussing the common features and differences of similar examples in Anatolia, the place and importance of Çavdarhisar granaries, which are a concrete example of traditional architecture place and importance in Turkish art were emphasized..

As is known, the yield level of high quality, hard or semi-hard, wheat varieties has lower yield level than soft varieties. Because of pricing policies applied in Turkey for many years, farmers have tend to the search for high yields and low quality wheat. It has been unintentionally promoted to production of soft varieties. This situation has caused the production of high quality wheat to undesired level. Flour industrialists are faced with many different varieties in the wheat market and due to the abundance of low-quality wheat, wheat production is mandatory due to the negatively affected production programs created for high-quality flour purposes. This process also affects the bakers and the consumers negatively. The seed preferences of the producers are closely related to this situation. The main purpose of factor analysis is dimension reduction. The aim is to make the data set easier to explain by reducing the data set. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors affecting the wheat seed preferences of the producers using factor analysis method. Thus, a large number of reasons for preference can be presented to agricultural policy makers and implementers more regularly. The five groups obtained as a result of the analysis as experience and advice, high quality and price, climate conditions compliance and support purchases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigated the effects of Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products (PPCPs) on wheat varieties of Ahmetağa, Cemre and Michelangelo. Two different active pharmaceuticals substances acetaminophen and gemfibrozil, which are frequently consumed in daily life, were used in the study. For study, acetaminophen and gemfibrozil were mixed with soil as follows: 50, 100, and 250 mg. 7 g of wheat seeds were planted from each varieties on each 650 gr of soil that mixed with the pharmaceuticals substance, then covered with 100 gr of soil. The wheat was irrigated at certain intervals in accordance with the field capacity and harvested after 15 days. After extracting the harvested wheats, the content of H2O2 in the samples were determined. Moreover, wheat samples were analyzed by ICP-OES for mineral element concentrations after pre-treatment. The relationship between control samples and test samples was evaluated statistically at 95% confidence interval, and significant differences were determined. In the study, it was determined that there was an increase in the H2O2 content in parallel with a decrease in mineral element uptake of wheat samples treated with increase amount of acetaminophen and gemfibrozil when compared to the control group.
