Giriş Dünyada enerjiye olan ihtiyaç sürekli olarak artarken, enerjinin tasarruflu kullanımı da öne çıkmaktadır. Enerji ihtiyacını karşılamak için kullanılan fosil kaynaklı yakıtların yakın bir gelecekte tükenme olasılığı ve sanayileşmenin belirli bölgelerde yoğunlaşması çevre kirliliğini artırmaktadır. Bu durum, enerji geri kazanımına ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının yaygınlaşmasına yol açmaktadır. Enerjinin tasarruf yöntemlerinden birisi de ısıl sistemlerin enerji ve ekserji analizinin yapılarak performansının değerlendirilmesi ve sistemlerin verimini artırıcı iyileştirmeler yapılmasıdır. Enerji analizi ve ekserji analizi ısıl sistem uygulamalarının performansını belirlemede en etkili yoldur. Enerji analizi, sistemin nicel enerji potansiyeliyle ilgili bilgi verirken, ekserji analizi de sistemlerin nitel performanslarını hesaplamada ve enerji kayıplarının olduğu noktaları belirlemede etkili bir yöntemdir. Ekserji analizi, sistemin kullanılabilir enerji değerini hesaplamada kullanılır. Yani bir sistemde verimin arttırılması için gerekli önlemlerin alınması ekserji analizinin uygulanmasını gerektirir.

Cultural components and their characteristics are very important for the development of urban tourism and the drawing of a spatial and mental image. Spatial and socio-cultural structures and factors play an indispensable role in the development of tourism areas and the emergence of different structures to the forefront in the postmodern era and the spaces created accordingly give cities a special character and draw a mental perspective for individuals and cities. In this study, we focused on the city of Paris and identified the framework that forms the criteria for cultural tourism venues in the city using an analytical approach and content analysis method, and then examined the factors and phenomena in the development and increase of cultural tourism in these venues. The findings from these analyses show that cultural tourists seek authentic, diverse and creative experiences, and that these places are the building blocks of the city's cultural sites and include public spaces (historical, natural, contemporary cultural, indigenous, unusual places, urban, recreational, commercial). The experiences of tourists are formed in a symbolic and continuous combination of social interactions, as well as fixed and temporary physical characteristics and the cultural meaning of space.

However, its effect on glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in glial cells is still unclear. Our study was designed to investigate the effect of carbamazepine against glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in C6 glial cells and involved mechanisms. Material and Methods: In this study, the C6 glioma cell line was used. Four cell groups were prepared to evaluate the effect of carbamazepine on glial cell death after glutamate-induced cytotoxicity. The control group was without any treatment. Cells in the glutamate group were treated with 10 mM glutamate for 24 hours. Cells in the carbamazepine group were treated with various concentrations (3.75, 7.5, 15, and 30 μM) of carbamazepine for 24 hours. Cells in the carbamazepine + glutamate group were pre-treated with various concentrations (3.75, 7.5, 15, and 30 μM) of carbamazepine for 1 hour and then exposed to 10 mM glutamte for 24 hours. The cell viability was evaluated by XTT assay. Total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in the cells were measured by commercial kits. Results: Carbamazepine at the concentration of 30 μM significantly increased the cell viability in C6 cells after glutamate-induce cytotoxicity (p < 0.05). CBZ (30 μM) + glutamate significantly increased TOS levels in C6 cells compared to control untreated control cells (p < 0.05), while it did not change TAS level (p > 0.05). Moreover, carbamazepine did not change TNF-α level (p > 0.05) and increased MDA (p< 0.05) level in C6 cells after glutamate-induced cytotoxicity. Conclusion: Carbamazepine decreases glial cell death after glutamate-induced cytotoxicity in C6 cells. While carbamazepine produced protective effective in the acute process, long-term usage may increase oxidative damage and cause cell death.

Chrysin is a natural flavonoid that has been extensively investigated for its significant biological impacts. In this study, we aimed to investigate the protective effect of chrysin against aspirin-induced oxidative damage in rat ovarian tissue. Forty female albino rats were used in the study. Rats were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group1 (control group): No medication was administered to the rats in this group. Group 2 (ASA group): 1 mg/kg aspirin was administered to rats in this group by oral gavage for 28 days. Group 3 (ASA+CH): 1 mg/kg aspirin and 50 mg/kg CH were administered to rats in this group by oral gavage for 28 days. Group 4 (CH): 50 mg/kg CH was administered by oral gavage to the rats in this group for 28 days. Group 5 (olive oil): 1 ml/kg of olive oil was administered orally to the rats in this group.
