This study aims to explore the effects of a personal development program based on the technique of therapeutic metaphor on adolescent anxiety. The unique experiences that fill the adolescent period produce sudden changes in emotions and give rise to emotional patterns that can deeply affect the personality that begins to take shape, mainly due to anxiety. The applicative objective of this paper is to implement a personal development program, based on the technique of therapeutic metaphor, to help the adolescent to access emotions in an empathic way, to know his own self, to discover resources, in order to reduce anxiety. The personal development program includes techniques such as creative meditation, role play, art therapy, drama therapy, Dixit cards and storytelling, applied to an experiential group of 12 teenagers and the psychological effects of this program will be evaluated both quantitatively and qualitatively.

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of potato slices (7, 9, 11 mm- Queen Anne variety) fried in palm oil in a fryer set at 190°C, for different periods of time (6, 8, 11 min) on the acrylamide level and color parameters of French fries. The experimental samples were prepared by the SPE technique and analyzed in terms of acrylamide content by GC-MS/MS. Results showed that the acrylamide content is significantly affected by the size of the potato slices and by the frying times: for 6 min of frying it varied from 222.90 µg/kg (7 mm) to 217.81 µg/kg (9 mm) and 192.36 µg/kg (11 mm), respectively; for 8 min of frying it ranged from: 842.44 µg/kg (7 mm) to 416.23 µg/kg (9 mm) and 343.19 µg/kg (11 mm); for 11 min of frying it was between 2636.06 µg/kg (7 mm), 1114.41 µg/kg (9 mm) and 906.70 µg/kg (11 mm), respectively. A reduction in the acrylamide level was obtained by about 14%, 59%, 66% for 6, 8, 11 min of frying at the size of 11 mm, compared to those divided at the size of 7 mm. The acrylamide formation in French fries was significantly reduced with larger the size of the potato slices and with shorter periods of frying. When increasing the potato slice size, positive linear correlations were obtained between the acrylamide level and the color parameters a* and b* (R² = 0.54 - 0.99) and negative linear correlations with the color parameter L* (R² = 0.684- 0.998).

Salinity effects in this period may cause insufficient development of the plant in the later periods. For the continuation of plant production in salinized areas, it is necessary to determine and increase the salt resistance of genotypes. Annual grass plants are grown extensively in the world. However, as with other plant species, annual grass plants are adversely affected by soil salinity. The aim of present study; determination of the salt tolerance of annual grass cultivars in vitro. In the study, 25 registered grass varieties were used as material. Salt concentrations of 150 mM NaCl were applied to determine the response of annual grass varieties to salt stress. Root length, shoot length, root-shoot fresh weight and root-shoot dry weight were examined in in vitro salt testing and the lowest values in the control group in terms of these properties were obtained from Efe and Vallivert cultivars, while the highest value was obtained from Medoacus and Trinova cultivars. In salt application, the lowest value was obtained from Tornado, Vallivert, Venus varieties, while the highest value was obtained from Medoacus and Trinova varieties. In addition, the variation obtained among the annual grass varieties used in the study can be used both in the grass aplication and in breeding programs.
这一时期的盐度效应可能导致植物后期发育不足。为了盐渍化地区植物生产的继续，有必要确定和提高基因型的耐盐性。一年生草本植物在世界上广泛种植。然而，与其他植物物种一样，一年生禾本科植物受到土壤盐度的不利影响。本研究的目的;一年生草品种离体耐盐性的测定。本研究以25个已登记的牧草品种为材料。采用150 mM NaCl盐浓度测定一年生草品种对盐胁迫的响应。在离体盐试验中测定了根长、茎长、根冠鲜重和根冠干重，结果表明，对照组中这些指标均以埃菲(Efe)和缬草(Vallivert)品种最低，而以美多阿斯(Medoacus)和翠诺瓦(Trinova)品种最高。施盐量以Tornado、Vallivert、Venus品种最低，Medoacus和Trinova品种最高。此外，本研究中所获得的一年生草品种间的变异可用于草的施用和育种计划。

Algeria has shown a delay in terms of organic agriculture, although this latter covers diverse agricultural practices and structural potential that have shown to be advantageous to the development of this sector. However, the aim of this Paper is to elaborate a typology of organic agriculture in the semi-arid regions of Algeria, for the purpose of presenting a reading grid so as to be acquainted with the size, distribution and diversity of the organic crops within the study area; in virtue of which, a survey was conducted on the conduct and the structure of organic farm. Visits had also been made to eighty plots of land. Consequently, the results of this survey allowed us to group organic agriculture into three types on the basis of structural and operational criteria: the first type is certified, often modern, small in number, following international specifications, and frequently located in the East; the second one is mixed, respecting the standards of organic agriculture, not certified but large in size; as for the third type, it is traditional, in other words natural, and more widespread. Subsequently, organic agriculture in Algeria is limited in terms of space and number, whilst the majority of practices have shown to be of traditional nature, poorly supervised and controlled due to the technical, socio-economic and agricultural policy constraints.

This study aimed to analyze the extraction time influences on some phenolics and carotenoids determined in the chokeberry dehydrated residue. In addition, the dynamics of the DPPH· radical reduction under the influence of the different amounts of chokeberry extract and reaction time were registered. For this purpose, fruits belonging to the ’Melrom’ and ’Nero’ cultivars grown in the experimental plots of the Research Institute for Fruit Growing Maracineni-Arges were harvested at full maturity, in the middle of August 2021 and pressed for juice extraction. The resulting pomace was subjected to convective dehydration at 45ºC. Values of 12286.11-16560.88 mg GAE/100g DW for TPC, 6567.96-9428.90 mg GAE/100 g DW for TTC, and 3293.74-5109.63 mg CE/100 g DW for TFC were registered. Lycopene and -carotene ranged between 0.78-1.43 mg/100 g DW and 0.21-0.37 mg/100 g DW. Longer ultrasound treatment led to higher TPC and TFC, while TTC decreased after 60 minutes. Raising the extraction time by at least 24 hours resulted in higher amounts of carotenoids. The lowest remanent radical activity (A=20.55%) was determined for the 50 and 60 µL extract doses. In this case, A% was minimal after 20 minutes of the DPPH reduction reaction (12.62-12.94 %), but not significantly different compared to the values determined after the first 8 minutes of the reaction (17.59-19.11 %).

This research was conducted in 2019 at Tekirdag Namik Kemal University, Faculty of Agriculture, Field Crops Department, Research and Experimental area. It was aimed to determine of effect of iron, boron and zinc applications on yield and quality traits in some soybean cultivars. The experiment was carried out as a split plot design based on RCBD with three replications, in which cultivars constituted the main plot with three cultivars (Arısoy, Safir and Bravo), and micronutrients and their combinations constituted the sub-plot (control, Fe, B, Zn, Fe+B, Fe+Zn, B+Zn and Fe+B+Zn). The micronutrients were applied to the plant by foliar spraying in the V3-V5 period. In the study plant height, first pod height, pod number per plant, seed number per pod, 100 seed weight, seed yield, oil content and crude protein content were investigated. The results showed that foliar micronutrients significantly increased the values for all traits. According to research findings, seed yield values of cultivars changed between 304.93-382.62 kg da-1, oil content values 12.51-17.16% and crude protein content values 37.82-42.30% and showed a wide variation. In terms of cultivar x micronutrient interaction, the highest seed yield was obtained from the Fe+B, Fe+Zn and Fe+B+Zn applications in Safir variety (395.01, 393.55 and 396.42 kg da-1, respectively). The crude protein content, which is the most important character in soybean, varied between 36.79-43.14%, but this difference was not found to be statistically significant for interaction. It was concluded that micronutrients had significant and positive effects on yield and quality characteristics of soybean.
这项研究于2019年在Tekirdag Namik Kemal大学农业学院、大田作物系、研究和实验区进行。研究了施用铁、硼、锌对部分大豆品种产量和品质性状的影响。试验采用基于RCBD的分割小区设计，设3个重复，以3个品种(Arısoy、Safir和Bravo)为主小区，微量元素及其组合(对照、Fe、B、Zn、Fe+B、Fe+Zn、B+Zn和Fe+B+Zn)为副小区。在v3 ~ v5期采用叶面喷施的方式施用微量营养素。研究了单株株高、首荚高、单株荚果数、单株荚果数、百粒重、籽粒产量、含油量和粗蛋白质含量。结果表明，叶面微量元素显著提高了各性状的值。研究结果表明，各品种籽粒产量变化范围为304.93 ~ 382.62 kg da-1，含油量变化范围为12.51 ~ 17.16%，粗蛋白质含量变化范围为37.82 ~ 42.30%，差异较大。在品种与微量元素互作方面，萨菲种子产量以Fe+B、Fe+Zn和Fe+B+Zn处理最高(分别为395.01、393.55和396.42 kg da-1)。大豆最重要的性状粗蛋白质含量在36.79 ~ 43.14%之间，但互作差异不显著。由此可见，微量营养元素对大豆产量和品质性状有显著的积极影响。

Honey is a concentrated aqueous solution of sugars, especially glucose and fructose, and minor amounts of dextrin, enzymes, volatile oils, organic acids, ethers, and minerals. Honey samples vary in quality according to various factors, such as climate diversity, geographical characteristics, floral supply period, and packaging and storage conditions, which can compromise the quality of the hive's final product. The assessment of honey quality is a major concern that has gained interest internationally because honey has always been subjected to various fraudulent practices which become more sophisticated in the present day. Consumers, beekeepers, and regulatory bodies are interested to have reliable analytical tools and information to allow the detection of adulterated honey. The UV-VIS spectroscopy and FTIR spectroscopy techniques are two analytical methods used to analyze the honey quality nowadays, with hydroxymethylfurfural being used as a standard for testing honey's freshness. The present study was conducted to assess the quality of some floral honey samples (rapeseed, acacia, and polyfloral honey) produced in Argeș, Călărași, Giurgiu, and Teleorman counties from the south of Romania. Differences between honey botanical and geographical origins were analyzed and highlighted with One-way ANOVA (p˂0.05), followed by Duncan`s Multiple Range Test. Our results indicated that honey is a valuable source of bioactive compounds.
蜂蜜是糖，尤其是葡萄糖和果糖，以及少量糊精、酶、挥发油、有机酸、醚和矿物质的浓缩水溶液。蜂蜜样品的质量因各种因素而异，如气候多样性、地理特征、鲜花供应期、包装和储存条件等，这些因素都会影响蜂箱最终产品的质量。蜂蜜质量的评估是一个引起国际关注的主要问题，因为蜂蜜一直受到各种欺诈行为的影响，这些欺诈行为在当今变得更加复杂。消费者、养蜂人和监管机构都希望有可靠的分析工具和信息来检测掺假蜂蜜。紫外-可见光谱技术和红外光谱技术是目前用于蜂蜜质量分析的两种分析方法，羟甲基糠醛被用作检测蜂蜜新鲜度的标准。本研究评估了产自罗马尼亚南部argenu、Călărași、Giurgiu和Teleorman县的一些花蜜样品(油菜籽、金合欢和多花蜜)的质量。我们用单因素方差分析(p小于0.05)和邓肯多元范围检验(Duncan’s Multiple Range Test)分析了蜂蜜植物源和地理源之间的差异。我们的研究结果表明，蜂蜜是一种有价值的生物活性化合物来源。

This article discusses the complexity of proactive coping strategies in the light of the research of the psychological constructs of compassion and nature connectedness. The proactive coping process was conceptualized as a positively-focused striving for goal. It is regarded as future-oriented, goal management and positive motivated. The dynamic of this process involves resources accumulation, preventing resource depletion and mobilizing resources when needed. The present study aims to explore the link among compassion (towards the humans as well as towards the environment), nature connectedness (as a basic human psychological need) and proactive coping strategies. It is expected that if someone is compassionate and has a psychological/emotional connection with nature, it is more likely to deal successfully with present and future threats to personal goals, health or well-being. Statistical results confirmed this hypothesis. The results of the present research could be used to design personal optimization and development interventions to promote proactive coping strategies in the field of counseling and psychotherapy.

Because of it can be used as a table, for oil or wood and practical medicine, olive became highly valued in Mediterranean basin. Olive oil is considered more important due to its nutritional and health advantages. The olive tree can adapt to adverse soil conditions because it is not very selective in terms of soil requirements. Turkey has a very rich diversity because it is located in the homeland of olives and has been cultivated for many years. There are olive populations that show variation in tree form, leaf and fruit characteristics in different regions of Turkey. Identifying and revealing the characteristics of plants in these populations is important for their evaluation. In this study, some morphological features were determined in olive populations in Kahramanmaraş region, which has a significant diversity. Within the olive populations, seed and leaf characteristics were revealed in 44 genotypes that were visually different and over 50 years of age. Statistical differences were found between genotypes in terms of all parameters studied. The kernel weights of the genotypes varied between 0.76-0.38 g. Kernel length and width values were determined as 16.03-12.21 mm and 10.07-8.01 mm, respectively. The highest leaf length of the genotypes was 7.42 cm and the lowest 5.70 cm. Leaf widths were determined as 15.82-8.49 mm. The results revealed that there is a significant olive diversity in Kahramanmaraş region. It is important to conservation this richness and use it in breeding and genetic studies.

Celtis australis L., is a tree up to 20 m tall. The range is Mediterranean to the Caucasus, in Romania it is found sporadically in Banat, Oltenia and Dobrogea, the species being used in green spaces where it is planted in alignment, isolated or in massifs, but also on the Black Sea Coast has adapted very well. The genus includes about 70 species, trees and shrubs widespread in the northern hemisphere, from tropical to temperate regions. The elm-like branch is distichous. The stalk has a broken marrow, made up of very thick blades, asymmetrical leaves with 3 ribs at the base, polygamous, andromonoic flowers, the male ones in bundles at the base of the stalk, the hermaphroditic ones arranged at the base of the petiole of the leaves, usually solitary. Fruits are spherical or ovoid drupes, with a strong stone and a thin, fleshy mesocarp. The purpose of this experiment is to speed up the germination of seeds that have been prepared in the four variants: stratification, wetting with hot water, scarification, wetting with cold water. Biometric measurements were performed on the following morphological features: seedling stem height, stem diameter, number of roots, root length, number of leaves, leaf area. Analyzing the four methods of seed treatment related to chemical treatment (control) it is observed that the best results are at V1 (stratification) for all analyzed characters.
