Climate change has the potential to impact the quantity and reliability of forage production, quality of forage, water demand for cultivation of forage crops, as well as large-scale rangeland vegetation patterns. Abiotic stresses, factors limiting crop productivity and sustainability worldwide. Several agronomical and physiological mechanisms are involved in stress tolerance of crop plants. To alleviate the negative effects of environmental stresses, plants increase the production of various compatible osmolytes. This book summarizes the highlighting the importance of forage crops, the present improvements and some of future directions for enhancing yield and nutritional quality under environment stress 1 conditions. Accordingly, Recent agricultural technologies that have greatly increased food supply have had inadvertent, detrimental impacts on the environment and on ecosystem services, highlighting the need for more sustainable agricultural production.

But all scientists agree that climate changes will increase exponentially in the 21st century. It is assumed that the temperature will increase by 4 to 5 °C and the CO2 density will increase from 330 ppm to 555 ppm until the year of 2060 (Pittock, 1993). In recent years, global climate changes and agriculture have been the most two important duo in our world. During the recent years, many scientists have focused on the effects of increasing CO2, temperatures and precipitation on agriculture. For example, the FACE experiment in New Zealand, where I also had the opportunity to work for three months, began in the late 1990s, according to Newton et al. (2001). As the rest of the world, Turkey is also affected by climate change. It is said that climate change may cause adverse effects on agriculture, forestry and water resources especially in semi-arid and semi-humid regions such as Central Anatolia, South East Anatolia, Aegean and Mediterranean regions that are faced with the threat of desertification. According to researchers, climate zones appear to be shifting hundreds of kilometers poleward from the equator as happened before in the geological history of the earth; and Turkey may be exposed to the hot and dry climate zone prevailing in the Middle East and North Africa (Türkeş, 1998). Water is the most strategically important resource in the world. It is the source of life and increasing population, urbanization as well as industrial and technological developments increase the demand for water everyday. However, using water efficiently is of particular 5 importance for future generations. In pastures, plants meet their water needs from rainwater. In our world, food supply is as crucial as adequate water supply. Climate changes may cause food scarcity as well as adversely affecting productivity in agriculture. The most important need in nutrition is protein. And protein predominantly comes from animal products. Due to population growth, recent projections have suggested that the total world food production will

    124 Rangelands 10(3), June 1988 Grassland Resources and Development of Grassland Agriculture in Temperate China Zhu Tinachen Natural temperate grasslands occupy 2.4 million km2 or one-quarter ofthe area of China. They form a broad beltfrom the plains of the northeast to the Tibetan Plateau of the southwest (Fig. 1). The nature and distribution of thegrassland is determined in large part by the influence of the monsoon. In the north- east where the monsoon is well developed, the grassland owes its existenceto dry conditions in the spring. Westward and southwestward wherethe monsooninfluence is weaker, the grasslandsoccupy higherelevations (to as high as 5,000 m) in response to the semiarid and arid regional climate. Similarly, temperate grasslands occur at high elevations in mountains of the desert region in northwestern China, far beyond the continuous grassland belt. Some 4,000 species offlowering plants comprise thevegetation ofthese temper- ate grasslands.About 200 are important forage species.

    Anatolian Journal of Education April 2020 ● Vol.5, No.1 e-ISSN: 2547-9652 www.e-aje.net pp. 105-118 The Obstacles on Woman’s Path to School Administration12 Semra Kıranlı Güngör Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Faculty of Education, Educational Sciences, Turkey, [email protected] Feride Meriçelli Teacher of English, Directorate of National Education, Turkey, [email protected] This study aims to determine the reasons why the number of the woman principals in school administration is low. The study was conducted in spring semester of 2016-2017 academic year with the participation of sixteen-man principals and fourteen-woman principals, serving in thirty public pre-schools, primary and secondary schools. The study was carried out by interview technique which is one of qualitative research methods. The content analysis of the data was carried out. The obstacles of woman principals to find place in administration stem from the eagerness of the women to be a principal. The mother roles, the household chores, the idea that the administration is suitable for the men, the women do not support their same gender are some of the obstacles for women not to prefer being principals. Even if women want to be principal, prejudge shown to them and the lack of confidence resulting from the prejudge cause the women work harder and consume away. It has been concluded that the social roles, the social culture, patriarchal structure and society, the queen bee syndrome and the glass ceiling syndrome are the reasons which prevent the women to go forward in administration. Keywords: education administration, woman principals, feminism, glass ceiling syndrome, queen bee syndrome INTRODUCTION Although women constitute half the population of the world and Turkey, they are not represented in the same proportion as men in economic activity and business life.
  • The New Context for the Turkish-U

    The New Context for the Turkish-U

    1 TURKEY’S NEW ECONOMIC DIPLOMACY BALANCING COMMERCIAL INTERESTS WITH GEOPOLITICAL GOALS Mehmet Ögütçü1 Abstract The need for a comprehensive reform agenda has become extremely pressing in Turkey. At the international level, the key element is Turkey’s drive towards EU membership, which will require a huge overhaul of its regime, practices and governance (linked with the call for a new political architecture and a redefinition of national interests in foreign affairs strategy). Domestically, sense of economic crisis has accelerated needed reforms and brought an unprecedented sense of urgency. The post-crisis Turkey may well rebound and recover quickly on a solid basis, as was the case in the aftermath of the 1997 Asian crisis for Thailand and Korea. We see the novel economic diplomacy strategy as an essential part of Turkey’s wide range of policy and institutional reform agenda, designed to put Turkey on a sound footing in the new international system. More economics and less geopolitics During the Cold War, the Turkish diplomacy, like that of other NATO nations, was more focused on security, regional stability, and managing the balance of power between two superpowers and two competing models of governance. Business interests often took a back seat to these concerns. Although frustrated, business understood this. Today, we live in a different world, where competition among nations increasingly takes place in the economic arena, although for Turkey situated in a difficult neighborhood, the security issues still top the national agenda and foreign affairs. Yet, advancing Turkey’s economic interests abroad will not only create valuable new business opportunities for Turkish firms but will also enhance Turkey’s pursuit of more traditional foreign policy and security objectives by creating interdependencies and mutual interests that cannot be readily sacrificed.

Institute of Science, University of Uludag, 16059 Bursa, Turkey Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Hospital gardens, one of the urban public outdoors, are located in the active spots of the city and are important as the image of the city. Hospitals will also be effective in quality of patient health and urban environment with their services. A well-designed hospital garden helps patients to feel good about themselves as well as shorten the healing process. Hospital gardens should be design comfortably according to the needs and desires of the users, create positive effects in physical and spiritual sense and create a social environment by saving both patients and employees from monotony. In this study, a total of 26 private and public hospital gardens in districts of Bursa city center (Osmangazi, Yildirim, Nilufer) were examined in detail. The evaluation of the landscape designs of the hospitals were done by scored method, and the success status were determined by five categories; space use, comfort and image, transportation, equipment and maintenance. As a result, it was identified that the landscape designs were successful with a range of 65-85 % in hospitals in Bursa city center, but some deficiency about designs, especially requirement of renovation and maintenance studies were detected.

Department of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, Faculty of Agriculture, Uludag University, 16059 Bursa, Turkey; 2. Department of Biosystems Engineering, Faculty of Agriculture, Uludag University, 16059 Bursa, Turkey) Abstract: This paper introduces biogas potential of animal waste in Bursa, an important agricultural, industrial and tourism centre in northwest Turkey. This research has focused on Bursa’s biogas potential from animal wastes. The potential quantity of electric energy, the potential amount of biogas as well as potential bio-electric energy per capita to be obtained from animal wastes were studied. If the evaluation of biogas potential is conducted thoroughly, 1.12% of the electricity consumption of Bursa can be met with the conversion of biogas from animal wastes into electricity. This study also revealed that the power for 95% of street lighting, approximately twofold of the electricity consumed in official apartments and all of the agricultural irrigation operations can be provided with electrical energy obtained from biogas obtained from animal wastes in Bursa.
