The Impact Of Intentional Learning Experiences For Personal Spiritual Formation On Seminary Students, Carol M. Tasker
The Impact Of Intentional Learning Experiences For Personal Spiritual Formation On Seminary Students, Carol M. Tasker
Dissertations
Problem. Many seminary students describe their time in seminary as a spiritual desert. Most Protestant seminaries do not provide spiritual formation classes for their students, thinking that such measures are unnecessary or inappropriate for theological education, or assuming that the church is the place for spiritual formation to take place. Nevertheless, pastors are expected to be spiritual leaders, and the pastor’s spirituality is ranked by laity as the highest priority needed by seminary graduates for effective church ministry. A literature survey of theological education shows that, in the last 150 years, students have consistently recognized their need for help …

In Vitro Model For The Study Of Listeria And Salmonella Adherence To Intestinal Epithelial Cells, Nevzat Yurdusev
Turkish Journal of Biology
A quantitative test to study Listeria and Salmonella adherence to epithelial cells was developed. The quantitative test is rapid and allows the simultaneous testing of many variables such as the adherence ability of different bacteria to their target cells as well as the capability of various molecules to inhibit bacterial adherence. By using a strain-specific standard curve in each test, the test for the quantification of adherent bacteria became specifically sensitive. Non-viable biotinylated bacteria and immobilized cells or their extract were found relevant for the study of bacteria-epithelial cell interactions. Adherence ability of Listeria strains was found to be 10-fold …

Effect Of Some Organophosphorus Insecticides On Soil Microorganisms, Meti̇n Diğrak, Ferdağ Kazanici
Turkish Journal of Biology
The effect of some organophosphorus insecticides [Isofenphos (=Oftanol DS 40), Phorate (=Thimet 10G and Foratox 10-G) and Fonofos] were investigated on soil microbiota (total viable bacteria, actinomycetes, anaerobic bacteria, aerobic endospores, proteolytic bacteria, cellülolytic microorganisms and yeast-mold). In the isofenphos-treated soil sample, the total viable bacteria number was found to be higher than that of the control groups during incubation. Moreover, it was observed that this treatment had no inhibitory effect on the development of the other microorganism groups. It was determined that the fonofos and phorate pesticides were had no inhibitory effect on the devel- opment of the soil …
Purification Of Buchnericin Lb Produced By Lactobacillus Buchneri Lb, Meti̇n Yildirim
Purification Of Buchnericin Lb Produced By Lactobacillus Buchneri Lb, Meti̇n Yildirim
Turkish Journal of Biology
Buchnericin LB produced by Lactobacillus buchneri LB was purified to homogeneity by a rapid and simple three-step purification procedure including freeze drying, silicic acid adsorption/desorption and cation-exchange chromatography. After the silicic acid and cation-exchange chromatography steps, the activity of buchnericin LB was recovered by 85 and 25%, and its purity increased about 111 and 2,500 fold, respectively. It was determined that the adsorption of buchnericin LB to silicic acid and cation-exchange chromatography was dependent on the pH of the suspending environment. The molecular weight of buchnericin LB was determined to be about 4.0 kDa by tricine SDS-PAGE.

Turkish Journal of Biology
Lactobacillus buchneri LB isolated from a commercially fermented vegetable product produced a bacteriocin-designated buchnericin LB. It was found that buchnericin LB was heat-stable (90-121^oC for 15 min) and hydrolyzed by proteases, \alpha-chymotrypsin, trypsin, papain, proteinase K and pepsin. However, it was observed that it was resistant to catalase, peroxidase, lipase, amylases and organic solvents. Also, it was found that it retained its biological activity after exposure to pH 2.0-9.0 and after storage at -20^o and -70^oC. It was determined that buchnericin LB had a wide inhibitory spectrum, being inhibitory to the Listeria, Bacillus, Enterococcus, Micrococcus, Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, and Streptococcus …

Availability Of Use Of Total Extracellular Proteins In Sds-Page For Typing Staphylococcus Aureus And Coagulase-Negative Staphylococci, Sefa Can Saçilik, Özlem Osmanağaoğlu, A. Hakki Sayar, Cumhur Çökmüş
Turkish Journal of Biology
A total of nineteen Staphylococcus references, nine of which are Staphylococcus aureus and ten coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS), were characterized by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Whole-cell protein (WCP) profiles obtained by SDS-PAGE were compared with banding patterns produced by SDS-PAGE of total extracellular proteins (TEP). No report has yet been issued which explains Staphylococcus typing by SDS-PAGE of extracellular proteins. SDS-PAGE of whole-cell extracts did not usefully distinguish different isolates of Staphylococci. Our preliminary results suggest that SDS-PAGE of total extracellular proteins provides additional criteria and characteristic banding patterns for the study of the epidemiology and characterization of Staphylococci. …

Nitric Oxide Synthase In The Skeletal Muscle And Arterioles Of Rats With Streptozotosin-Induced Diabetes Mellitus, Ci̇han Demi̇rci̇, Kadri̇ye Akgün Dar, İlhan Uyaner
Turkish Journal of Biology
Nitric oxide synthase (NOS) that uses NADPH as a cofactor is an enzyme which produces nitric oxide (NO) from L-arginine. Endothelial-derived (eNOS), inducible (iNOS) and neuronal (nNOS) nitric oxide synthase are 3 known isoforms. Endothelial NO regulates the vascular tonus and causes the dilatation of vessels, while NOS localized in the sarcolemma of striated muscle plays a role in the regulation of muscle hemodynamics. Many authors have found differences in NO production in some pathological conditions such as diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension and atherosclerosis. In this study, NADPH-diaphorase (NADPH-d) was histochemically employed to explore any changes in NO production associated …

Comparison Of 22 Taurus Cedar (Cedrus Libani A. Rich.) Origins By Seedling Morphological Distance, Zeki̇ Yahyaoğlu, Ali̇ Demi̇rci̇, Nebi̇ Bi̇li̇r, Musa Genç
Turkish Journal of Biology
In this study, seeds were collected from 22 seed stands of Taurus cedar (Cedrus libani A. Rich.), and these seeds were sown at the Black Sea Technical University Nursery in 1995. The main morphological characteristics of 2+0 year old seedlings were measured in 1997. Values of seedling morphological distance were calculated using the Penrose formula to compare the origins in terms of morphological characteristics. According to the Penrose formula, when the values of morphological distance (P_{ij}) approach zero, the similarity between origins increases. Consequently, the most similar origins were Mugla-Arpacik and Isparta-Belcegiz2 (P_{18,22}=0.040), while the most different origins were Mersin-Aslankoy …

The Role Of P13-Kinase On Melanoma Cell Adhesion And Migration, Zerri̇n Seller, Ian R. Hart
Turkish Journal of Biology
Integrins are responsible for anchoring cells to the extracellular matrix and also can initiate intracellular signal pathways. The interaction between integrins and the extracellular matrix results in activation of PKC, PTKs, p21Ras, MAPK and PI3-kinase. The \alpha4\beta1 integrins are expressed mainly on haematopoietic cells and also appear on several tumour types. The adhesion of \alpha4\beta1 to VCAM-1 is an essential step for lymphocyte extravasation during the inflammatory response. Furthermore, the interaction of \alpha4\beta1, expressed on tumour cells, with VCAM-1, might have a role in tumour cell extravasation. We examined the role of PI3-kinase activation in \alpha4\beta1-mediated melanoma cell adhesion and …
