The main objective of this study is to determine the necessary measures to reduce energy consumption and save energy in agricultural irrigation in the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. The primary data of the survey study consists of the primary data collected through face-to-face surveys with producers in Sanliurfa, Diyarbakir and Mardin provinces. In the survey, the number of questionnaires to be applied to the producers was determined as 300 in total and the farms to be surveyed were determined by using stratified random sampling method. Flood and furrow irrigation methods are commonly used (62%) in the region. About a quarter of the farmers apply sprinkler irrigation. Nearly four-fifths (78%) of the farmers in the region report that there is a loss-leakage in the irrigation system. A very high proportion (95%) of the farmers in the region apply non-pressure irrigation, and approximately three-quarters (76%) report that they do not know whether the pumps and irrigation systems used are working at the recommended flow and pressure. Almost all of the farmers in the region (98%) do not use solar energy systems. A very high proportion (94%) of regional farmers does not use engine drivers in pumps. The responses of the farmers to the survey questions were interpreted and discussed and suggestions were developed based on the responses of the farmers to the survey questions.

OBJECTIVE: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a smoking cessation initiative for workers who are smokers in a textile factory located in Denizli, Turkey. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This retrospective cohort was conducted by using the occupational health and safety unit records of 821 workers who are smokers. All participants underwent cognitive behavioral therapy, and in case of need, a suitable pharmacological treatment was initiated. The status of smoking cessation was checked at the end of the third month with a carbon monoxide breath monitor. A chi-square test was performed to make comparisons between categorical variables. Logistic regression analysis (backward) was used to evaluate the factors related to the smoking cessation status. RESULTS: The ratio of participants who gave up smoking was 74.3%, and 63% of them used a pharmaceutical aid to quit smoking. Working in the department of finishing and using a pharmaceutical aid to quit smoking were related to increased success in smoking cessation. CONCLUSION: Outcomes of our study emphasize that workplace-based smoking cessation programs may create a huge impact on smoking cessation among workers. Pharmacological aid and cognitive behavioral therapy have been associated with success in quitting smoking.

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the physical mental, physical health and life satisfaction of teachers working in schools affiliated to the Ministry of National Education in Gaziantep. A survey was conducted using mental and physical health scales. It is a 4-point Likert type scale. It was determined that the Turkish form of the scale, whose validity and reliability studies were carried out while adapting to Turkish, was reliable and applicable. In the comparison of more than two independent groups, when the results of Anova and Tukey multiple comparison tests for normally distributed variables and Kruskal Wallis and Dunn multiple comparison techniques for non-normally distributed variables were evaluated, the participants' mental and physical health scale scores and life satisfaction in terms of the "time to do sports at home" variable. It can be stated that there is a significant difference between the scores of the scale. In the pairwise comparisons made in order to understand which independent groups the difference originated from, it was determined that the mental and physical health scale scores of the participants showed significant differences in all groups. On the other hand, it was determined that the life satisfaction scale scores of the participants were not significant between the participants who did not do sports "never" and those who separated "1 day a week", but the difference between all other groups was significant. It can be stated that there is a significant difference between the participants' mental and physical health scale scores and life satisfaction scale scores in terms of the "daily internet usage time" variable. According to the pairwise comparisons made between independent groups, the mental and physical health scale scores of the participants whose “daily internet usage time during the Covid-19 pandemic period” is 1-3 hours are significantly higher than the scores of the participants who have 4 hours or more. It was determined that the participants' Life Satisfaction Scale scores differed significantly between all groups. It can be said that there is a significant difference between the scores of the participants in the Satisfaction with Life Scale in terms of the variable "the most common recreational activity at home during the Covid-19 pandemic period". It can be stated that there is a significant difference between the mental and physical health scale scores of the participants in terms of the "most frequently performed recreational activity at home during the Covid-19 pandemic period" variable. In the pairwise comparisons made to understand which independent groups the difference originates from, it is seen that there is a significant difference between the mental and physical health scale scores of the participants "Other" and "reading", and "sports" and "other". It is recommended that individuals do regular physical activity in order to protect their mental and physical health and increase their quality of life.

A series of early Oligocene Paratethyan manganese deposits occur in the shallow-marine sediments of the Maikop Series that surround the present-day Caspian Sea and Black Sea basins. These deposits are located either in former shallow-water seaways between the anoxic basins, where they typically occur as world-class deposits, or as much smaller deposits in shallow-water, shelf settings around the margins of the anoxic basins. The host rocks of the deposits are similar and are composed mainly of laminated marls, clays, and carbonates. The major-oxide compositions of the Paratethyan manganese deposits are similar and reveal a distinctive enrichment in Mn, Ca, and P, relative to Post-Archaean Australian Shale (PAAS). In addition, compared to the PAAS, the deposits typically show a trace element enrichment of Co, Ni, As, Ba, Sr, and strong depletion of Nb, Ta, Cr, Zr, Th, and Hf, which can be attributed to their similar processes of formation. Detrital-sourced elements of the Paratethyan deposits such as Nb, Ta, Cr, Zr, Th, Ti, and Hf are characteristically extremely low relative to the PAAS and indicate syn-sedimentary Mn-oxide and -carbonate deposition under conditions of low detrital input. Furthermore, a PAAS normalized positive Eu anomaly typically present in most deposits together with high contents of Co, Ni, As, Ba, and Sr in ores indicates a hydrothermal contribution into the basins. Besides the introduction of dissolved Mn and associated elements from rivers, this study shows that these elements may have been also discharged into the Paratethyan basins along the basin-margin growth faults. According to the geological and geochemical findings, Mn deposition is likely to have occurred from oceanic upwelling currents during periods of the high sea-level stand with syn-genetic precipitation of Mn-oxides and carbonates close to paleohighs between the deep anoxic basins.

This study aimed to investigate the case of the examination papers applied to determine the students achievements in the process of assesment and evaluation of Turkish courses. In this context, this study intended to determine which type of exams take place, which skill areas are measured and how grammar area in achievement tests distributes according to class level. This study was performed according to descriptive (survey) method and it was carried out in secondary schools located in the center of Isparta. In the study, in academic year of 2012-2013, 18 primary schools out of 39 primary schools located in the city of Isparta were selected. After obtaining necessary permission from Isparta provincial directorate for national education, the exam papers in these schools applied in the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th grades Turkish classes were collected and they were examined for the purposes of research. The obtained findings are summarized as follows: the multiple-choice exams were commonly preferred as exam type in exam papers and respectively it was determined that it was followed by the written and mixed exams. In these exams, it was determined that in all grade levels and exams applied, the exams concentrated on to reading and writing skills areas. While the questions for reading skills take part in all exams, writing skills take part in an average of half of the exams (%56,25). On the other hand, no questions for speaking and listening skills are included in the examination papers. Grammar area, regarded as knowledge area, takes place at all grade levels and exams except for few exam papers in 5th grade.

The Bayan Obo Fe-REE-Nb deposit is the world’s largest resource of REE and its origin still remains controversial. To decipher the genesis of this unique deposit, we conducted a detailed mineralogical observations using scanning electron microscope (SEM), cathodoluminescence (CL) and in-situ micro-analyses on chemical compositions of the dolomite and apatite by EPMA and LA-ICPMS techniques. A wide range in SrO contents in dolomite mineral grains from coarse-grained dolomite marble has been observed. The SrO contents in the margin of the dolomite mineral reach up to 1.04 wt%, while the SrO contents in the core are as low as 0.16 wt%. In contrast, the SrO contents of the dolomite minerals of fine-grained dolomite marble are basically invariable, mainly concentrating on the range of 0.1 wt%–0.2 wt%. The MnO and FeO concentrations of dolomite mineral grains from the coarse-grained dolomite marble (MnO, 0.24 wt%–0.45 wt%; FeO, 2.27 wt%–3.42 wt%) are significantly lower than those of dolomite from fine-grained dolomite marble (MnO, 0.84 wt%–3.32 wt%; FeO, 3.59 wt%–12.16 wt%). The big differences in major elements between two types of the H8 dolomite marble imply different forming processes. Three types of apatite show big differences in cathodoluminescent signatures, major and trace elements. Type I fluorapatite has few REE mineral inclusions and Type II fluorapatite hosts abundant tiny REE mineral (monazite) inclusions. Type III fluorapatite from strongly deformed coarse-grained dolomite marble forms abnormally large monocrystals with elongated orientation. Both Type I and Type II fluorapatite from fine-grained dolomite marble samples display the heterogeneous component regions under BSE, with obvious depletion in Na and REE in BSE-dark areas observed in the X-ray compositional maps. Unaltered (BSE-bright) regions in Type I and Type II fluorapatite have high REE (17470–77090 ppm), Y (714–8162 ppm), Na (2023–10258 ppm), Sr (2126–6422 ppm) concentrations, obviously different from Type III fluorapatite (REE, 2452–7496 ppm; Y, 157–285 ppm; Na, 501–1464 ppm; Sr, 6878–9949 ppm). The REE, Na, Th and Pb depletion in BSE-dark regions in Type I and Type II apatite correspond to two styles of REE remobilization during fluid-induced dissolution-reprecipitation processes. Late-stage REE, Na, Ba, CO32−, SO42−-rich mesothermal hydrothermal fluid evolved from carbonatite was responsible for REE leaching in Type I fluorapatite. The Sr-rich, Na-poor, REE-poor Type III fluorapatite and associated elevated SrO contents in the margin of dolomite imply that the deposit underwent subsequent fluid infiltration by Sr-rich, REE-poor, Na-poor metamorphic fluid, causing the REE leaching in Type II fluorapatite and the consequent formation of monazite inclusions. As a common REE-bearing mineral in Bayan Obo deposit, apatite displays a diversity of textures and occurrences, fingerprints multi-stage metasomatic fluids and provides new insights into the mechanism of REE enrichment and remobilization.

This study has been prepared in accordance with the objectives of evaluating and developing geothermal resources in order to bring the geothermal resources in the Konya Plain Project (KOP) Region, which includes Aksaray, Kirsehir, Konya, Nevsehir, Nigde and Yozgat provinces, to the country's economy with maximum capacity, and to develop proposals for investments to be made. The number of overnight stays and the number of tourists outside the region should be increased by utilizing alternative tourism opportunities in the region. Their use in terms of geothermal energy, tourism and health has an important investment and income potential for the region. It has been determined by the laboratory results that the contents of thermal waters have inductions against many diseases. New investment projects have been recommended with the strategy of highlighting different practices in different provinces within the KOP Region. In this respect, each province and region within each province were evaluated separately, and suggestions suitable for their strategic positioning were presented. In addition, rather than offering new thermal accommodation facilities, modernization of existing facilities or businesses and infrastructures that offer services that all facilities can benefit from are proposed. However, it was seen that there was a need for accommodation capacity and new business models in some regions and suggestions were made accordingly.

The rare earth elements (REE) are critical raw materials for much of modern technology, particularly renewable energy infrastructure and electric vehicles that are vital for the energy transition. Many of the world's largest REE deposits occur in alkaline rocks and carbonatites, which are found in intracontinental, rift-related settings, and also in syn- to post-collisional settings. Post-collisional settings host significant REE deposits, such as those of the Mianning-Dechang belt in China. This paper reviews REE mineralisation in syn- to post-collisional alkaline-carbonatite complexes worldwide, in order to demonstrate some of the key physical and chemical features of these deposits. We use three examples, in Scotland, Namibia, and Turkey, to illustrate the structure of these systems. We review published geochemical data and use these to build up a broad model for the REE mineral system in post-collisional alkaline-carbonatite complexes. It is evident that immiscibility of carbonate-rich magmas and fluids plays an important part in generating mineralisation in these settings, with REE, Ba and F partitioning into the carbonate-rich phase. The most significant REE mineralisation in post-collisional alkaline-carbonatite complexes occurs in shallow-level, carbothermal or carbonatite intrusions, but deeper carbonatite bodies and associated alteration zones may also have REE enrichment.

The Payas region bauxite deposits occur as a sandwiched layer that is a few kilometers long and an average of 10 m thick between the lower and upper Cretaceous carbonates of the Arabian Platform. The bauxites occur as 2 types, comprising blanket and pocket, are chemically and texturally homogeneous, and have a thrust structure with ophiolitic mélange formations. The bauxite varies in color, from reddish-brown to grayish-green to black, and has a massive, patchy, and very rare oolitic-pisolitic texture. The bauxite mainly consists of diaspore, hematite, rutile, anatase, rare kaolinite, boehmite, and pyrite minerals.The prismatic and lath-shaped euhedral rutile within the bauxites indicated in situ formation of the bauxites from Ti-rich basaltic pyroclastics. The chondrite-normalized rare earth element pattern of the bauxite was similar to the basalt pattern and had a very weak Eu anomaly (0.9). There are 2 groups of elements have been enriched in the Payas region bauxite: the first group contains TiO2 (9.67wt%), Cr (752 ppm), V (617 ppm) and Ni (72 ppm), and the second group comprises Zr (993 ppm), Nb (86 ppm) and Sn (7 ppm). These 2 groups of element enrichment indicated that the parental material of bauxite had an alkali basalt character. The carbon and oxygen isotope stratigraphy throughout the carbonate section from the bottom to the top indicated that the climate was warm during bauxitization (mean δ18OVPDB: –6.15‰) and relatively cold after bauxite deposition (mean δ18OVPDB: –4.71‰). A marine regression during the warm climate could have been related to the uplifting of the coastal zone, which was linked to the vertical fault movements of the normal faults. A rapid transgression after bauxite formation during the cold climate period can be explained by subsidence of the continental margin, which was associated with episodic ophiolitic nappe loading during the closure of the Neotethyan Ocean in the region.

Cretaceous carbonates up to 600 m in thickness occur in the Mardin region, SE Turkey, and the uppermost parts of these carbonates include phosphorite deposits that represent the easternmost extention of the Tethyan phosphorite belt extending from Morocco to Turkey. The Semikan phosphorite level of the early Campanian is one of the most important, consisting mainly of cream-colored and locally reddish phosphorites occurring as lenses or concordant blankets within high-grade cream phosphorites. Reddish phosphorite is relatively enriched in Al, Mg, K, Ti, Zr, Ga, Cr, Fe, and rare-earth elements (REEs), whereas cream phosphorite enriched in U, Ca, Na, and Y. Geochemistry of the iron oxide - rich reddish phosphorite beds indicate an intense lateritic weathering on the land, then transportation into the marine environment under warm climatic conditions. The mean δ18OPDB isotope value of the phosphorite-bearing host carbonate section is −5.5‰ (range from −4 to −7.68, n:11), which is lower than the Cretaceous average of English chalk which is around −2.5‰ (Jenkyns et al.,1994) indicating that the seawater in the Derik region was warmer than that of the oceanwater. 87Sr/86Sr isotope values in the phosphorite zone had the highest values, which corresponded to the presence of a peak of the warmer climatic conditions during phosphorite deposition. The lowest carbon-isotope value of the phosphorite– bearing carbonate section is corresponded to oceanic upwelling, which was possibly responsible for the depletion of δ13C during phosphorite deposition. In phosphorite zone, negative Ce anomaly, presence of rare pyrite and red color of phosphorite in depositional environment indicates oxic-suboxic formation condition.

This study was carried out to determine the constant anxiety levels of prisoners who attend recreational activities with regards to certain variables. The study was carried out using the general survey model, and the sample comprised 256 volunteer prisoners selected by simple randomization method, who were subject to supervised release in the province of Gaziantep. The trait anxiety inventory was used in the study. When analyzing the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for data compatibility, followed by Mann-Whitney U Test and Kruskal-Wallis H test, and for paired comparison of the groups with a significant difference, Bonferroni correction tests were used. As a result of the study, it was observed that the anxiety statuses of the prisoners in the sample demonstrated differences throughout the period of attendance at recreational activities in terms of the mean rank scores by independent variables. The anxiety status of the prisoners who are single, non-smokers, aged 39 or above, with an earning higher than the minimum wage, and a sentence duration of 3-4 years during their attendance at the activities was observed to be higher than those of the prisoners in the other groups. Additionally, it was determined that there were no statistically significant difference the prisoners’ marital status, education and sentence duration variables in terms of constant anxiety status, whereas there was a significant difference in smoking status, age and wage level variables.

In the ancient world gold was mined mainly from alluvial occurrences using gravity methods combined with the use of mercury (amalgamation), a method that is still used today in small-scale alluvial gold mines worldwide. Cyanide, which was first used in the 1880s, is used in large-scale hardrock mines to recover gold, silver, copper, and other metals from porphyry and disseminated ore deposits. Therefore, amalgamation must be considered, or specifically in the case of Sardis, reconsidered as the technology for ancient alluvial gold mining. Evidence that includes: the availability of cinnabar, the ore of mercury; an ancient mercury retort; ancient use of cinnabar as a pigment and mercury for gilding and amalgamation; the very fine-grained alluvial gold at Sardis; and the composition of the end-product gold, a Byzantine coin. These all indicate that amalgamation must be considered as the mining technology that supplied gold to Sardis’ ancient refineries and craftsmen.
