These contractual arrangements and infrastructure pricing are key components of future reform to be implemented under the new railway framework law.

The signaling investment is 70% complete (physical measure, as of October 2013). When finished, this investment is expected to relieve congestion on the railway lines to/from Mersin port so that more of the port traffic maybe handled by rail rather than road. This supports the Government's goal to shift traffic from road to rail, reducing road congestion, demand for additional road infrastructure and GHG emissions. The investment will benefit the railway financially by attracting freight traffic and improving network density. Staff Adjustment This component financed the end-of-employment, lump sum payments for retirement of 1,596 TCDD staff. All retirements were voluntary, involving no layoffs. The component was completed in 2009. Advisory Services to TCDD Public Disclosure Copy Under this component studies have been successfully completed on (a) Internal Financial Controls Risk Assessment, (b) Freight Marketing, (c) Rationalization of Passenger Services and Public Service Obligation (PSO), and (d) maintenance practices. The component has supported the TCDD Financial Audit for 2009 - 2012. TCDD has also carried out pilots supporting reforms on public service contract and infrastructure charging. TCDD Staff Training Under this component training has been successfully completed on (a) non-destructive testing, (b) project management, (c) how to deliver on-line, computer based training, and (d) training of trainers. TCDD Public Communications and Periodic Surveys Under this component three surveys of customers and stakeholders have been carried out. Project Restructuring The project was restructured in 2009 to focus it on the reforms and achievements that could be realized within Turkey’s existing legal framework for railways, pending passage of a new railway law. The project development objective and the results indicators were changed in this restructuring. The project was restructured again in 2011 to address land acquisition and building renovation activities that trigger Bank policies on involuntary resettlement (OP/BP 4.12) and physical cultural resources (OP/BP 4.11). The project was restructured in June 2012 to extend the project closing date until December 31, 2013.

Yüreğir4 1 Prof. Dr. Muzaffer Aksoy Thalassaemia Centre, Mersin, Turkey 2 Municipal Health Centre, Director, Mersin, Turkey 3 Universale Hospital, Adana, Turkey 4 Department of Biochemistry, Cukurova University School of Medicine, Adana, Turkey [email protected] Received: Oct 30, 2005 • Accepted: Feb 27, 2006 ABSTRACT The prevalences of hemoglobin S (HbS) and β-thalassemia (β-thal) are high in Mersin, Turkey. In this study, the results of a five-year premarital screening program in Mersin province are reported. A total of 79,000 persons including 31,498 couples were screened in this program. Hematological analyses and electrophoresis were done to identify carriers. The results were given confidentially and at-risk couples were counselled on reproductive options and prenatal diagnosis. The carrier rates of hemoglobins (Hb) (HbS, HbD, HbE) and of β-thal were 1.21%, 0.17%, 0.04% and 2.04%, respec- tively. One hundred and thirty-four couples were at-risk, of whom 67.2% had health insurance. Twenty-seven couples did not become pregnant, six were divorced and 11 could not be reached. Of the 135 pregnancies, 80 had prenatal diag- nosis. Five stillbirths occurred, and 18 homozygous babies were born to couples that did not seek prenatal diagnosis. Two families with prenatal diagnosis had affected babies: one was a late referral and the other due to religious reasons.

As soon as the complaint was reported to the Mersin Provincial Directorate of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, the case was inspected by the Directorate and finally, the municipality was fined about 180.000 Turkish Liras on the basis of Turkish Environmental Law. (No. 2872) The municipality was also obliged to rehabilitate the area. However, the Municipality refused to pay the fine and appealed to the administrative court. The National Court made its decision in January 2021 and it ruled to dismiss the appeal filed by the Municipality with the decision no K.2020/1054. In view of the bilateral interviews between the General Directorate of Nature Conservation and National Parks and the complainant Association, it was decided that the rehabilitation must be done within the scope of the principals determined by a group of experts, so as to mitigate further degradation on the beach due to the heavy machinery activities.

UZUN, M. UNLU, M. BIRCAN, O. GULSEN, C. YILMAZ and H. GUBBUK, 2015. Identifi cation of banana accessions sampled from subtropical region of Turkey using srap markers. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 21: 270–276 This study was conducted to estimate genetic relationships and natural somatic mutations among selected banana geno- types from different region of Turkey via SRAP molecular markers. Ninety-six banana genotypes including 39 ‘Dwarf Caven- dish’, 18 ‘Grande Nain’, 28 ‘Azman’ and 11 other bananas were evaluated. A total of 102 bands were obtained from 19 SRAP primer combinations and 86 (85.5%) of them were polymorphic. Number of bands per primer combination was 5.3 whereas polymorphic bands per primer combinations were 4.5. Genetic similarity of 96 accessions varied between 0.63–1.00. It was determined genetic variation among the accessions which may allow new selections for breeding programs. Considerable variation was also found among genotypes within the same banana cultivar and it was very important for banana breeding and germplasm evaluation. It can be concluded that SRAP markers could readily be used to estimate genetic relationhips among banana genotypes and natural somatic mutations.

E-mail: [email protected]. Accepted 20 April, 2010 This experiment was conducted in Mut-Mersin from 2008 to 2009 to determine the phenological and pomological characteristics of ‘Angeleno’, ‘Autumn Giant’, ‘Bella Di Barbiano’, ‘Black Amber’, ‘Black Beauty’, ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Fortune’, ‘Globe Sun’, ‘Obilnaja’, ‘October Sun’, ‘Original Sun’ ‘President’, ‘Queen Rosa’ and ‘T.C Sun’ Japanese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl) cultivars. In the experimental years, flowering periods, harvesting date, fruit dimensions, fruit weight, seed weight, flesh/seed ratio, total soluble solid contents (TSS%) and acidity were determined. Fruit weight (g) ranged from 46.71 g (Obilnaja) to 91.26 g (Black Diamond). Among the cultivars tested, ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Queen Rosa’ and ‘October Sun’ had the biggest fruits. Date of full bloom ranged from 13 March for ‘Black Diamond’ to 4 April for ‘T. Sun’. From the results of this research the following conclusions were determined: 1) Fruit maturation were earlier on ‘Black Beauty’ and ‘Obilnaja’ cultivars than the other cultivars. 2) In terms of fruit weights ‘Black Diamond’, ‘Queen Rosa’, ‘October Sun’ and ‘Autumn Giant’ were bigger than the other cultivars.
