In the study area, the geophysical properties of gypsum and filling materials, karst structures that developed in gypsum, and groundwater level were investigated. According to the results of ...geophysical studies, it was thought that the depression and dissolution/weathering areas in the karst could be completely or partially filled with water, air, gypsum particles, and one, several, or all of the alluvial units. It was determined that resistivity and S-wave velocity (average < 26.4 Ω m, ~ 220 m/s) in these areas were low and corresponded to low seismic velocity zones (LSVZ). In fill and cover unit areas where water did not affect or was less affected, resistivity and
S
-wave velocity (< 67.3–131 Ω m, average < 245 m/s) were determined low. It was found out that resistivity and
S
-wave velocity of the gypsum bedrock was very high (> 10,263–14,412 Ω m, average > 655 m/s), and resistivity and
S
-wave velocity of LSVZ in the gypsum surfaced far from the source were lower (< 91.3 Ω m, ~ 585 m/s) compared to the gypsum bedrock. Therefore, it was observed that the resistivities and seismic velocities of the gypsum in the surfaced area were higher compared to the depression area. The results were associated with karst as the main reason for dissolutions and depressions, because the water draining/leaking/spreading from the water source progressed by creating low-resistivity areas in the permeable filling material and the groundwater was near the surface. Therefore, karst structures will probably continue to develop in this area, and natural hazards may occur in the future.
Physical development, fitness and motor skills are the most important components in determining the performance and success of wrestlers, with wrestling largely dependent on overall body strength and ...relatively short match times. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the relationships between the physical and motor characteristics of young wrestlers in Sivas, Turkey. The study conducted on 86 male freestyle wrestlers aged 10 to 21 years representing urban and rural areas. The sample was analyzed by age groups; 10 to 14 years olds, 15 to 17 years olds and 18 to 21 years olds due to the skill level of the United World Wrestling (UWW) sport categories. Anthropometric measurements (height, weight, skin folds and body composition) as well as motor tests (speed, flexibility and durability) were performed and the data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The results showed that physical properties were correlated significantly with motor features and affected them significantly. According to standardized regression coefficients (β), particularly muscle mass and free fat mass values were presented significant relationships on the anthropometric characters for all of age groups. As a conclusion, wrestlers from all age groups have presented with high level of fat mass, muscle mass and fat free mass where motor and physical properties are highly correlated among the wresting athletes in accordance with the special traning methods.
Before the conservation and restoration of many types of cultural heritage, it is necessary to perform careful examination. This study aimed to determine the original building state and deterioration ...by applying non-destructive testing (NDT) methods in the case of a heritage building. Another goal was to determine, via NDT methods, whether the limestones observed in this study of different forms, colours, and textures were truly different. The Sivas Industry School Ironworking Atelier, which constitutes the research object, is one of the important public buildings in the city of Sivas, Turkey. Within the scope of the study, non-destructive infrared thermography (IRT), Schmidt hammer rebound (SHR) tests, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy were applied. Accordingly, through IRT, deteriorations, anomalies, and material differences were investigated, and via SHR testing, uniaxial compressive strength (UCS) estimates, strength levels and hardness classes of stones were obtained. Moreover, via XRF spectroscopy, characterization analysis of stones was conducted. The data obtained could provide information to establish a basis for subsequent conservation. The innovation of this study is that although the infrared thermography technique is typically used in the investigation of materials, it was revealed that another technique such as XRF analysis is needed to better determine whether stones that seem different based on IRT are actually different. With IRT technique, anomaly and material detorioration can be determined. In addition to these two techniques, SHR tests that are non-destructive methods are needed to think about mechanical features of the material. Therefore, when determining the conditions and for characterization analysis of a cultural heritage before restoration, different techniques should be jointly used to complement each other.
The Early to Middle Miocene period in the Sivas Basin is represented by a thick deposition of mud-dominated marine sediments (Karacaören Formation) in an overall bay-like paleogeographic setting. ...Previous studies have suggested that halokinesis-induced local tectonics and orbital climatic fluctuations have been the primary controls on depositional evolution. In the present study, we investigated a 60-m–thick Karaman Gypsum Member (KGM), located at the base of the Karacaören Formation, in terms of its sedimentological, paleontological; both palynology and nannofossil biostratigraphy, and geochemical/mineralogical aspects to better characterize climatic controls on its deposition. Nannofossil assemblages indicate that the studied member is confined within the Sphenolithus belemnos Zone (NN3; 18.92–17.97Ma), and is mainly composed of rhythmic alternations of supratidal evaporites and lagoonal/marine mudstones. The palynological data demonstrate a minor, yet consistent, occurrence of megathermic taxa and numerous dinoflagellate cysts in mudstone intervals. The high chemical proxy of alteration (CPA) values and occurrence of kaolinites in the same mudstone intervals further prove deposition under warm and humid subtropical conditions. The perfect match between the environmental cyclicities in the KGM with a benthic δ18O curve justifies a strong control of obliquity/short eccentricity of a 40–100kyr duration, and hints at radical precipitation changes throughout the individual orbital cycles. These precipitation changes are explained by extreme latitudinal precipitation gradients during relatively hot periods before the mid-Miocene Climatic Optimum.
•A 60m-thick evaporite-mudstone alternations was studied.•Various gypsum and algal mat facies represent evaporitic section.•Overlying marine muds in each cycle include nannofossils and megathermic taxa.•A good match is discovered between oceanic benthic δ18O and Sivas basin record.•We showed dry and wet cyclic astronomically-driven climate changes in Burdigalian.
Sivas kenti geçmişten günümüze Lidyalı, Romalı, Danişmendli, Selçuklu ve Osmanlı gibi birçok medeniyet ve uygarlığa ev sahipliği yapmıştır. Sivas sahip olduğu gelenek ve görenekleri, farklı kültürel ...katmanlarıyla zengin kültürel miras barındıran bir kenttir. Sivas’ın tanıtılması, kentte yaşayan bireylerin kültürel miras farkındalığının artırılması önemlidir. Bu sebeple bu çalışmada Sivas kentinde kültürel miras farkındalığı kazandırmak için kültür rotası önerisinde bulunmak amaçlanmıştır. Kültür rotası önerisinde bulunurken Türkiye Turizm, Tanıtım ve Geliştirme Ajansı’nın hazırlamış olduğu GoTürkiye platformunda yer alan rota önerileri geliştirilip görselleştirilerek rota önerisi hazırlanmıştır. Sivas için rota önerisinde bulunurken somut ve somut olmayan kültür varlıklarını kapsayan bütüncül bir yaklaşım sergilenmiştir. Kültür rotası hazırlanırken Sivas GoTürkiye bölümünde yer alan yapılar esas alınmıştır. Ancak web sayfasında yer alan anıtsal yapılar rota önerisinde bulunmada eksik kaldığı için yeni duraklar eklenmiştir. Rota önerisi haritasında kent merkezinin 1 km’lik yarıçap içerisindeki anıtsal ve kamusal yapılar, müzeler, yeme-içme durakları işaretlenmiştir. Rota önerisinde kentin tarihi, kültürel ve sosyal yönleriyle ele alınmasına dikkat edilmiştir. Kültür rotası önerisinin kentte turizmin gelişmesi, kültürel miras bilinci kazandırılması ve kentin tanıtılması adına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
Inherited and syn-compressional salt-controlled structures in orogens are difficult to distinguish from compressional features because classical salt features (halokinetic growth strata, salt welds) ...can be misinterpreted as shortening-related structures (syn-kinematic growth strata, tectonic unconformities). In the Sivas basin in Turkey, syn-kinematic salt diapirism entirely shaped the architecture of the foreland and allowed the development of primary and secondary minibasins. One of the most impressive, the Tuzlagözü minibasin, formed by sinking into a salt feeder while being upturned due to compression. This minibasin has been nicknamed the “Turkish Vélodrome” because of its similarity with the well-known Vélodrome structure in the French Alps which shows growth strata and successive unconformities, commonly interpreted as foreland growth syncline features. Based on structural field descriptions and geometric analogies with the Tuzlagözü minibasin, we revisit the Vélodrome as a salt-related minibasin. We argue that the Vélodrome developed as a secondary minibasin above an Oligocene aerial salt glacier: sheet of Upper Triassic evaporites extruded during Alpine orogeny. This new interpretation enables to propose a revised evolution of the sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt. In line with other recent works, this study emphasises once again the important role of salt tectonics in the evolution of the sub-Alpine fold-and-thrust belt.
This paper presents a revised geological map at the 1/50,000 scale of the Central Sivas Basin together with a synthetic stratigraphic chart and cross-sections. The map covers an area of approximately ...9840 km² within the Eastern Anatolian orogen. The structure of the studied area is dominated by three major tectonic domains: (i) to the south, a north-verging thrust wedge involving Maastrichtian - Eocene sediments deposited onto an ophiolitic basement, (ii) in the center an Oligo-Miocene domain shaped by salt tectonics detached above the thrust wedge, along a late Eocene salt layer, and, (iii) to the north the Pliocene depocenter onlapping onto the Kırşehir basement. The central halokinetic domain exhibits two generations of minibasins (respectively, early Oligocene and late Oligocene to late Miocene), separated by an evaporite canopy. The map includes new stratigraphic correlations for the pre-salt stratigraphy and improve the comprehension of the southern fold-and-thrust-belt.
Günümüzde müzelerin sergileme, koruma ve araştırma işlevlerinin yanı sıra ziyaretçi ile iletişim kurma işlevini de yerine getirdikleri görülmektedir. Özellikle bazı müzelerde çocuklar için çeşitli ...öğrenme ve eğlenme olanakları sağlayan uygulamalara ve etkinliklere rastlanmaktadır. Dolayısıyla, ziyaretçi deneyimi üzerinde yalnızca müzenin sahip olduğu fiziksel faktörler değil; ziyaretçilerle olan iletişim ve müze personelinin profesyonelliği gibi unsurlar da etkili olmaktadır. Sivas Arkeoloji Müzesi’ni ziyaret eden 18 yaş ve altı çocukların evreni temsil oluşturduğu araştırmada; müzenin ve müzedeki çocuklara yönelik uygulamaların ziyaretçi deneyimi kapsamında nasıl değerlendirildiğini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Araştırma bulguları doğrultusunda müzenin sahip olduğu fiziksel koşulların genel olarak elverişli olduğu; ancak sergilenen eserlerle ilgili yapılan açıklamaların yeterli olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Diğer taraftan müzede ziyaretçileri yönlendirebilecek, müze ve eserler hakkında kapsamlı bilgi verebilecek bir müze görevlisinin olmaması da eleştirilmiştir. Müzede düzenlenen etkinlikler arasında en fazla ilgi çeken etkinliğin sikke basımı olduğu ve müze ziyaretinin sosyalleşmeye, toplumla uyum sağlamaya ve en fazla da eğitime katkıda bulunduğu belirlenmiştir. * Bu çalışma 24-27 Nisan 2019 tarihinde yapılan 2. Uluslararası Çocuk Dostu Turizm Kongresinde sunulmuş, kongre kitabında tam metin bildiri olarak yayınlanmıştır.
