Analysis of occupational accidents and musculoskeletal system problems of butchers in Hatay

Purpose: Although musculoskeletal system injuries are frequently seen in the area of meat industry, studies on this topic are insufficient. The purpose of this study it to identify the occupational accidents and musculoskeletal problems of butcher shop workers in the city of Hatay. Method: A survey consisting of 32 questions was given to 69 butchers who work in the city of Hatay with 38,20±1,32 in a face to face interview. Their social status, activities in the butcher shop, past injuries and activities after their injuries were questioned with the survey. Findings: It was determined that the butchers were most frequently injured in their hand and finger area (60,9%). It was determined that 40,6% of the butchers had an accidents in the last 5 years; their injuries were mostly non-dominant hand injuries and infections were seen in 15,9% of the butchers after their injuries. It was found that the most frequent injuries took place during the hanging of carcasses; carelessness played an important role in getting injured; use of sharp tools led to injuries in 97,1% of the butchers and that 2,9% of the butchers were left with permanent handicaps after their injuries. Conclusion: It was determined that hand-finger injuries and back pain complaints were frequently seen in butcher shop workers and that they do not use any protective equipment to avoid injuries. Therefore, it was concluded that the necessary analyses need to be done on the butcher shop workers and that training should be provided for them on protective precautions and posture problems.
Global Simulation and Evaluation of Soil Organic Matter and Microbial Carbon and Nitrogen Stocks Using the Microbial Decomposition Model ORCHIMIC v2.0

Soils contain the largest amount of land carbon, even a small change of this pool can significantly affect atmospheric CO2 and climate change. A good representation of soil organic carbon (SOC) dynamics in Earth system models is therefore crucial to predict future climate change. The dynamics of SOC is largely driven by microbial activities and modulated by N cycles. Nevertheless, very few models have explicitly represented soil microorganisms and N cycles integrated at global scale. Here, we present an update of the microbial‐mediated ORCHIMIC model and its application to simulate global gridded SOC stocks, microbial biomass, soil C/N ratio, microbial C/N ratio, and heterotrophic respiration. This is a new attempt to model SOC dynamics with an explicit microbial representation with N dynamics applied at global scale. The model shows relatively good performance in reproducing global SOC and microbial biomass C. The spatial distributions of soil and microbial C/N ratios were not well reproduced because they are sensitive to mineral nitrogen availability controlled by plant uptake, which is not explicitly represented in the model. However, similar relationship between C/N ratios of microbes and soil as observation demonstrated the potential of the model to reproduce global C/N ratios for both microbe and soil pools. Dynamic carbon use efficiency modulated by substrate C/N ratio, consistent with observation, were well represented by mechanistic including microbial dynamics. Modeled suppressed microbial biomass growth under warming climate indicating a weaker positive feedback between soil C pool and climate compared to that predicted by traditional Earth system models.

Parameter estimation and control of an unmanned aircraft‐based transportation system for variable‐mass payloads

This paper deals with the development of an adaptive robust controller for an Unmanned Aircraft System with variable mass. The goal is to improve trajectory tracking and energy performance while the aircraft mass is gradually reducing due to payload release. To improve the trajectory tracking performance, we propose an algorithm that merges the concepts of least squares method and sliding mode observer for the estimation of the vehicle mass. The nonlinear observer estimates the linear velocities and accelerations, which are further used to obtain the vehicle mass. A robust adaptive pole placement controller based on the Attractive Ellipsoid Method uses this estimation to update the controllers gains due to the mass variation. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for performing aerial transportation and deployment of payloads, we present a numerical example comparing the performance of the proposed method with respect to using Proportional Derivative controllers as well as Robust Controllers.
Efficient Online Scheduling of Electric Vehicle Charging Using a Service-Price Menu

Along with high penetration of Electric Vehicles (EVs), charging stations are required to service a large amount of charging requests while accounting for constraints on the station's peak electricity consumption. To this end, a charging station needs to make online charging scheduling decisions often under limited future information. An important challenge relates to the prioritization of EVs that have unknown valuations for different levels of charging services. In this paper, we take into consideration the inability of EV users to express these valuations explicitly. We consider a paradigm where a menu of possible charging schedules and corresponding prices is generated online. By letting the EV users pick their most preferable menu option, the proposed algorithm commits on each EV's charging completion time upon its arrival, achieves a near optimal total weighted charging completion time, and prevents the users from strategically misreporting their preferences, while offering a practical and implementable solution to the problem of EVs - charging station interaction.
Prevalence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Orthodontic Patients with Different Skeletal Classes Using STOP-BANG Questionnaire: An Observational Study

AIM: The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in orthodontic adult patients with different skeletal classes and no pathology in the airway as detected from the lateral cephalometric radiographs using the STOP-BANG questionnaire. METHODS: The sample comprised 309 subjects (152 males and 157 females) collected from the Egyptian population presented to the orthodontic follicular unit extraction for treatment. The sample was divided into three groups based on the anteroposterior relationship between maxilla and mandible (ANB angle) as evident from pretreatment lateral cephalometric. Patients were asked to fill out general medical history, sign a consent form, and fill in the STOP-BANG questionnaire. Patient’s neck size and height were measured using tape measuring tool and weighing scale, respectively. Body mass index (BMI) was obtained. After submission of the questionnaire, scores were measured for each patient to evaluate the severity of OSA. RESULTS: Comparison between OSA risk in the three classes showed no statistically significant difference (p = 0.791, effect size = 0.052). CONCLUSIONS: STOP-BANG questionnaire showed that there was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of OSA between different skeletal classes.

Determination, Spatial Variation and Distribution of Iodine in Fish

Iodine is a very important essential trace element and marine fish is one of the rare natural food containing relatively large amounts of iodine. In this study a fast and reliable determination method of iodine in marine species has been developed and validated. The method based on a procedure of Gu et al. 18) published in 1997 and avoids ashing of the sample which often leads to iodine losses. Furthermore, various biological factors, effecting the iodine content in fish have been studied and the distribution in fish muscle was analysed. The iodine content of various flat, lean and fatty fish species from different fishing grounds has been compared, yielding no clear indication of a relation of iodine concentration to the fishing ground. But large variations were found between cod samples in fishes of a single catch. Distribution within fish muscle showed an iodine gradient, decreasing from skin to the inner part of the fillet and iodine levels in the skin of marine fishes can be up to twentifold of the content of the muscle tissue, depending on the species. No differences were observed between left and right fillets, ventral and dorsal parts and head and tail parts of cod fillets, respectively.
Breastfeeding-Friendly Policies And Programs In Selected Public Universities In Ghana

Background The United Nations through its Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 5 has championed Women empowerment for exclusive breastfeeding through various action plans and expected the concept to be decentralized through locally mandatory implementation of various institutional policies and programs in member Countries. Using Kabeer’s empowerment concept, the authors in this paper assessed the availability and implementation of breastfeeding policies and programs in selected public universities in Ghana. MethodsThe study design was an integration of descriptive, exploratory, and case study using an unstructured interview guide developed by the authors for qualitative data collection. Thematic analysis of data on breastfeeding experiences was done yielding three main categories (breastfeeding policy and programs, support, and views on breastfeeding) emerged during data analysis. The in-depth interviews of respondents lasted 60 minutes. The University of Cape-Coast Ethics Review Board gave ethical approval for the study. ResultsAlthough Ghana has ascribed to various international conventions on childcare and developed policies enshrined in its labour law to support breastfeeding, none of the universities in this study has a formal breastfeeding/childcare policy/program and there are no future policy plans for on-campus facilities to enhance breastfeeding. Financial cost emerged as a major challenge hindering the universities from implementing a policy/program in this regard, hence nursing mothers continue to make personal but challenging arrangements for breastfeeding on university campuses.Conclusions The finding that formal breastfeeding-friendly policy/program was unavailable in the various universities in Ghana reflects negative implications for childcare, hence achieving the Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 5 in Ghana. The authors recommend formal breastfeeding-friendly policies/programs as a criterion for accreditation of universities in Ghana to enhance childcare.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF SYMMETRICAL AND ASYMMETRICAL CASCADED H –BRIDGES OPERATED WITH MULTICARRIER SINUSOIDAL PWM AND NEAREST LEVELCONTROL (NLC)TECHNIQUE

Cascaded H – Bridge (CHB) is one of the multilevel inverter topologies which is most used in the medium and high-power applications. To increase the output power and the voltage levels hybrid cascaded H bridges with unequal input voltages have been proposed in the various publications. The number of stages i.e. series connected H -bridges are reduced. It also reduces the distortion and the Electromagnetic Interferences (EMI). The analysis of the hybrid Cascaded H bridges operated with level Shifted (LSPWM), Phase shifted (PSPWM) and Nearest Level Control (NLC) have been studied. Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), fundamental output voltage and the first harmonic spectrum are the performance parameters considered. The comprehensive simulations of three stage CHB, and new hybrid multi-level inverter topologies have been carried out in MATLAB/SIMULINK software.

PF-TL: Payload Feature-Based Transfer Learning for Dealing with the Lack of Training Data

The number of studies on applying machine learning to cyber security has increased over the past few years. These studies, however, are facing difficulties with making themselves usable in the real world, mainly due to the lack of training data and reusability of a created model. While transfer learning seems like a solution to these problems, the number of studies in the field of intrusion detection is still insufficient. Therefore, this study proposes payload feature-based transfer learning as a solution to the lack of training data when applying machine learning to intrusion detection by using the knowledge from an already known domain. Firstly, it expands the extracting range of information from header to payload to accurately deliver the information by using an effective hybrid feature extraction method. Secondly, this study provides an improved optimization method for the extracted features to create a labeled dataset for a target domain. This proposal was validated on publicly available datasets, using three distinctive scenarios, and the results confirmed its usability in practice by increasing the accuracy of the training data created from the transfer learning by 30%, compared to that of the non-transfer learning method. In addition, we showed that this approach can help in identifying previously unknown attacks and reusing models from different domains.
Protection against Children who Conflict with the Law Due to the Delinquency Reviewed from the Juvenile Criminal Jurisdiction System

The Constitution guarantees every child to live, grow and develop and has the right to protection from violence and discrimination. Therefore, Indonesia as a rule of law has the obligation and responsibility to provide protection, one of which is for children who conflict with the law. A child in conflict with the law is a child who is 12 (twelve) years old, but not yet 18 (eighteen) years old, who is suspected of having committed a criminal act. One of the causes of conflict with the law is child delinquency. Many can factor cause delinquency in children. According to Law Number 11 of 2012 concerning the Criminal Justice System for Children, cases of children in conflict with the law must be adjudicated in juvenile criminal courts located within the general court. However, before entering the judicial process, law enforcers, families, and the community are obliged to seek a settlement process outside the court, namely through Diversion based on the Restorative Justice approach. The objective of juvenile justice is not merely to prioritize the crime as the main element, but protection for the future of the child is a goal that juvenile justice aims to achieve. Therefore, the imposition of punishment must have attempted as a last option after all means are considered inadequate (ultimum remidium).
Micro-analysis of a single vehicle driving volatility and impacts on emissions for intercity corridors

Abstract A deep understanding of driver behavior is an important step to improve road safety and environmental performance. Volatility can be defined as the extent of variations in driving, which can be characterized by accelerations/braking, lane change, and unusual high speed for roadways conditions. There is a lack of knowledge on what concerns the relationship between driver’s volatility and exhaust emissions and how driving volatility can be used as safety eco-indicator. This article explores a driving volatility concept for assessing tailpipe emissions and driving behavior classification. For that purpose, an empirical approach that combined vehicle activity and emission rates for light duty vehicles was used. Field measurements were collected from four probe vehicles in one partly urban/rural, and two highway routes using Portable Emission Measurement Systems, Global Positioning System receivers, and On-board Diagnostic scan tool, to measure real-world tailpipe emissions, position and engine activity data. Acceleration-based parameters, including relative positive acceleration and mean of positive acceleration, acceleration, vehicular jerk, and power demand thresholds were used to detect differences in emissions for different driving styles. Results indicated that vehicular jerk impacted carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides per unit distance regardless of driving style and route type, especially from negative to null jerk values and during positive accelerations. There is potential to incorporate the analyzed thresholds into a driver decision support algorithm by considering safety and environmental aspects through warning messages.
