Description

Karasal ekosistemleri korumak, iyileştirmek ve sürdürülebilir kullanımını desteklemek; sürdürülebilir orman yönetimini sağlamak; çölleşme ile mücadele etmek; arazi bozunumunu durdurmak ve tersine çevirmek; biyolojik çeşitlilik kaybını engellemek. İnsan yaşamı gıda ve geçim kaynakları bakımından okyanuslara olduğu kadar karaya da bağımlıdır. Bitkiler, insanların besin kaynaklarının %80’ini sağlar, önemli bir ekonomik kaynak ve kalkınma vasıtası olarak tarıma dayanırız. Ormanlar, Yerküre’nin yüzeyinin %30’nu kaplıyor; milyonlarca tür için hayati önem taşıyan yaşam alanları ve önemli temiz hava ve su kaynakları sağlıyor; ve aynı zamanda iklim değişikliği ile mücadele açısından kritik önem taşıyor.

    Functional variables of bull sperm associated with cryotolerance
    (2021-01-01) Gilmore A., Hitit M., Ugur M.R., Dinh T.T.N., Tan W., Jousan D., Nicodemus M., Topper E., Kaya A., Memili E.; Gilmore, A, Hitit, M, Ugur, MR, Dinh, TTN, Tan, W, Jousan, D, Nicodemus, M, Topper, E, Kaya, A, Memili, E
    The objective of this study was to ascertain sperm population and cellular characteristics as well as total antioxidant capacity in spermatozoa from Holstein bulls with Good (11 bulls) and Poor (5 bulls) cryotolerance. Post-thaw sperm kinetics were evaluated using CASA, membrane integrity was assessed via HOS test, and DNA fragmentation was measured using the HaloSperm kit. Data were analyzed using principal component analysis. The spermatozoa from Good bulls had a higher number of cells with intact membranes (P=0.029), non-fragmented DNA (P=0.018), and post-thaw viability (P<0.001) compared to sperm cells from Poor cryotolerance bulls. Sperm cells from Good bulls also had a faster average path velocity (P=0.017) and straight-line velocity (P=0.036), along with a greater distance average path (P=0.006) and distance straight line (P=0.011). However, total antioxidant capacity, number of live cells, and other kinetic parameters between spermatozoa from Good and Poor groups were not different. There is no one specific sperm function variable alone that can accurately predict cryotolerance of bull spermatozoa, and thus, a combination of sperm cell attributes and kinematics needs to be utilized by the AI industry in differentiating between freezability of spermatozoa between bulls.

    Dog massacre with pesticide for theft: Methomyl poisoning
    (2019-01-01) Özdemir Ö., Ateş M., Ortatatli M., Terzi F., Avci T., Hatipoğlu F., Çiftçi M.; Özgür ÖZDEMİR, Mustafa Kemal ÇİFTÇİ, Fatih HATİPOĞLU, Mustafa ORTATATLI, Funda TERZİ, Mehmet Burak ATEŞ, Tülay AVCI; Ozdemir, O, Ates, MB, Ortatatli, M, Terzi, F, Avci, T, Hatipoglu, F, Ciftci, MK
    In this case report, acute methomyl poisoning in dogs is described by pathological and toxicological findings for the first time in Turkey. Five of the thirty stray dogs that were found dead within 1-2 days after eating the foodstuffs in an industrial area in Konya were necropsied. Grossly, undigested pieces of chicken meat with a mild insecticidal smell in stomach of all dogs were found and toxicological analysis by GC-MS revealed toxic levels of methomyl in the stomach contents (15.7-17.8 ppm) and, intestines, livers and kidneys (1.2-2.9 ppm) also. In addition, histopathologically degenerative and necrotic changes were observed in liver, brain, lung, kidneys and gastrointestinal system mucosa. Postmortem and histopathological examinations and toxicological analyses revealed that deaths were related to methomyl poisoning and it has been subsequently learned from the police officers and printed media that this poison had been deliberately infected to dog food for the purpose of theft committed in the industrial area. Publishing these intentional poisoning events, we have wanted to draw attention to that more serious measures and statutory regulations should be taken by governments about animal rights.
