Evaluation of Salinity by Using Wavelet Modeling

Abstract

Every year, due to the salinity resulting from improper irrigation practices, almost 10 billion ha of agricultural lands across the world cannot be used. Among the main elements (cations) for salinity in regions with dry or semi-dry climate are potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), calcium (Ca+2) and magnesium (Mg+’2). Using proper irrigation methods as well as ensuring the quality of irrigation water are of great importance in terms of the salinity of agricultural soils. In this study, laboratory analyses of ground water resources for salinity parameters were conducted in the province of Yalova (Taşköprü, Çiftlikköy, and Altınova regions). In the explanation of the analysis results, variations and effects based on the level of salinity were taken into account and the role of small, meso and large scale factors were determined through the use of the wavelet model. The study results would be of use in the estimation of salinity contents of soils with respect to groundwater irrigation in agricultural areas.

Examining the Relationship Between Young Boxers' Attitudes Towards Gender Roles and Athlete Identities

“…Boxing is integrated with the patriarchal understanding, perceived as a sport exclusive to men due to the athletic structure associated with men (Emir, Karaçam, & Koca, 2015). Considering gender as one of the strong stereotypes (Dökmen, 2010), understanding the attitudes of young individuals engaged in boxing towards societal gender roles is important, especially when gender, which holds significant weight in career choices, does not limit career options (Özyürek, 2013). Recognizing and overcoming the stereotypes and barriers associated with societal gender roles in the process of overcoming obstacles is crucial.…”

Investigation of the Relationship Between the Alexithymic Characteristics of Secondary Students and Their Childhood Maltreatment Experiences

“…By this means, individuals get to know themselves better and increase their chances of making their lives more meaningful by establishing healthier relationships in their daily lives. Alexithymia is generally defined as the difficulty in making sense of naming and expressing emotions (Dökmen, 2000). Because individuals cannot express their feelings and cannot make sense of other people's feelings, this situation is also defined as emotional immobility (Şahin, 1991).…”
