We discuss recent advances in various fields of modern electronic and optoelectronic devices. The major trends in electronics point to the nanoscale, to giga to terahertz operation, and to very low power consumption. These trends will require the development of advanced physics concepts and new device processing and characterization techniques. Various novel material systems will be researched. These approaches will greatly improve the performance of the electronic devices, and novel devices will further improve the level of human life as they have done before.

Cardiac pacemakers have been the standard therapy for patients with bradyarrhythmias for several decades. The pacing lead is an integral part of the system, serving as a conduit for the delivery of energy pulses to stimulate the myocardium. However, it is also the Achilles’ heel of pacemakers, being the direct cause of most device complications both acutely during implant and chronically years afterwards. Leadless pacing with ultrasound-mediated energy has been demonstrated in animals and humans to be safe and feasible in acute studies. Implantable defibrillators revolutionised the treatment and prevention of sudden cardiac death. Subcutaneous implantable defibrillators have been under development for more than 10 years. A permanent implantable system has been shown to be feasible in treating induced and spontaneous ventricular tachyarrhythmias. These developments and recent advances in pacing and defibrillation will arouse further interest in the research and development of leadless cardiac implantable electronic devices.

Beekeeping is one of the most common agricultural activities in the world. In addition to the world and human life, it is very important in the pollination and the efficiency of the plants. Beekeeping activities have been done since ancient times as the tradition of Anatolian people. In Turkey grows 75% of the honey plants species determined in the world. This provides a variety of honey in different aroma and flavors. Turkey with 7 796 666 beehives is in 3rd rank, with 114 471 tons of honey production is in 2nd rank and with 4 488 tons of beeswax production in 2017 is in 4th rank in the world bee products have an important role. It is important to determine future trends in developing appropriate policies for our country, which is one of the leading countries in beekeeping activities. The main aims of this study are to forecast honey and beeswax product in Turkey for 2019-2025. Arima model, which is one of the time series analysis, was used in this study. According to the results, it is expected that honey production will increase in these years. However, it is expected the increase in the production of beeswax until 2021. After 2021 year is expected to decrease a little. In our country which has great potential for beekeeping, it will be able to take place among the countries which have a significant influence in foreign trade with the effective use of production resources in the realization of activities.

Recently, the fabrication of electronics-related components via direct ink writing (DIW) has attracted much attention. Compared to the conventionally fabricated electronic components, DIW-printed ones have more complicated structures, higher accuracy, improved efficiency, and even enhanced performances that arise from well-designed architectures. The DIW technology allows directly print materials on a variety of flat substrates, even a conformal one, well suiting them to applications such as wearable devices and on-chip integrations. Here, recent developments in DIW printing of emerging components for electronics-related applications are briefly reviewed, including electrodes, electronic circuits, and functional components. The printing techniques, processes, ink materials, advantages, and properties of DIW-printed architectures are discussed. Finally, the challenges and outlooks on the manufacture of 3D structured electronic devices by DIW are outlined, pointing out future designs and developments of DIW technology for electronics-related applications. The combination of DIW and electronic devices will help to improve the quality of human life and promote the development of science and society.

Recent advances in geometrically correct 3D IVUS reconstruction enable the depiction of the true coronary anatomy by combining IVUS data with biplane angiographic images. Further development of the existing 3D IVUS reconstruction software, in conjunction with advancing hardware capabilities, is expected to allow the implementation of real-time 3D IVUS reconstruction within the catheterization laboratories.

Owing to its unique and outstanding physical-chemical properties, diamond is considered to be one of the most important potential materials for applications such as in mechanical, optical, thermal, and electronic devices. Among them, the most attractive application of diamond would be a semiconductor for high temperature and high power electronic devices. To realize such novel devices, a high quality of defect-free single-crystal diamond film is required. Recently, continuous diamond films are found to be able to grow on Pt(lll) substrate. Since the diamond film synthesized on Pt shows a high degree of epitaxy, this approach has drawn the attention of reseafchers in this field and some research results have been reported. However, the heteroepitaxial mechanism is still to be elucidated; in particular, why does diamond grow heteroepitaxially on the Pt substrate and how do the atoms align in the interface between diamond and the Pt substrate? In order to solve those problems, it is very necessary to study the diamond growth mechanism on an atomic scale.
