Published: June 2024

Background: A sedentary lifestyle greatly affects a person's life. Inactive lifestyle changes can result in increased neck disability. Sedentary behavior can also affect vascular, metabolic, and autonomic systems. This study aimed to determine the relationship between a sedentary lifestyle, neck disability, and high blood pressure in bank employees.
Methods: The research method used is an observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach and a sampling technique, namely purposive sampling. The number of samples obtained was 93 samples aged 18-55 years. The independent variable measured was sedentary lifestyle using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) questionnaire. The dependent variables measured were neck disability using the Neck Disability Index (NDI) questionnaire and high blood pressure measured using a sphygmomanometer.
Results: Based on the non-parametric Spearman Rho test, a value of p = 0.001 (p < 0.05) was obtained, which showed that there was a significant relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and neck disability and high blood pressure and the value of the correlation coefficient ranging from r = -0.831 to -0.928 and negative values indicating an undirected relationship with a very high level of correlation. Based on the results of multivariate analysis with regression logistic tests showed a significant relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and neck disability and high blood pressure characterized by p values < 0.05.
Conclusion: Based on the study's results, there is a negative relationship between a sedentary lifestyle and neck disability and high blood pressure in bank employees. When a sedentary lifestyle shows low measurement results, it will indicate that the individual has a neck disability and high blood pressure.

Published: June 2024

This research paper investigates the stability characteristics of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow within channels filled with porous media. Specifically, the study explores modifications to the classical Orr-Sommerfeld equation using the Darcy-Forchheimer model to account for the presence of porous media. The analysis aims to elucidate the combined influence of porous media and magnetic fields on flow stability in such systems. Numerical simulations and analytical techniques are employed to assess the impact of varying parameters on the stability behavior of the flow. The study revealed that the velocity profile increases with increase in Schmidt and Prandtl’s number and stabilizes with the increase in Grashof number and the buoyancy. The temperature profile increases with Reynold’s Number and Hartmann number. It stabilizes with Schmidt, Prandtl and Grashof number. The profile of species concentration stabilizes with thermo-phoretic parameter, Prandtl number and Darcy-Forchheimer’s parameter augumentation.

This study discusses modified sorbents based on natural vermiculite for the purification of water andsoil contaminated with heavy and rare metals. Modification methods and sorption properties include an analysis of the studies studied. The advantages and disadvantages are considered. By modifying vermiculite with zirconium oxide, the sorption of nickel (II) ions by it was studied. By purifying the mineral with hydrochloric acid and increasing its porosity, the sorption of copper (II) ion was taken into account. By modifying vermiculite with chitosan, a composite material was obtained and the sorption of ion (II) was studied. Although the sorption of oil residues of the modified product due to the treatment of vermiculite with paraffin, lignosulfates and cellulose is considered, its property of sorption of metal ions is assumed.
Interacciones profesor-estudiante y rol docente: impactos socioeducativos del Espacio Europeo de Educación Superior en la formación de ingeniería en España
Authors: Martín-Civantos Mariano
Published: June 2024

Las actividades formativas en la universidad van más allá de la transmisión del mero conocimiento disciplinar. En ese sentido, las interacciones que se producen en el espacio de formación universitaria influencian el aprendizaje. Estas formas de relacionarse pueden influir en el tipo de profesional que egresa de las aulas. El EEES viene a definir una forma de ser docente y de gestionar el aula. Esto tiene un impacto en la formación de ingenieros. Esta investigación se lleva a cabo en dos fases, mediante encuestas a alumnado de Ingeniería y de entrevistas en profundidad a su profesorado. Se han explorado elementos específicos de la formación en Ingeniería que permiten analizar el impacto que el EEES ha tenido en las interacciones entre profesorado y alumnado. Es significativo que el alumnado valora como deficientes las relaciones afectivas entre estudiantes, la innovación metodológica del profesorado y la evaluación. El individualismo entre pares, la jerarquía y la falta de transparencia en el proceso de enseñanza producen una pérdida de aprovechamiento en el aprendizaje. El profesorado ve poco valorado su rol docente y de gestión, que contrasta con la valoración que recibe la investigación. Igualmente, se constata la precariedad en el acceso a la carrera docente. Se muestra que las interacciones se encuentran debilitadas más allá de las relaciones entre profesorado y alumnado, dando cuenta de redes escasas entre pares. Se aprecia un bajo protagonismos del estudiantado, promovido por su profesorado.

Authors: Torres Romero Jose Ignacio , Ureña Bautista Nicolás , Granado Bejarano Alejandro
Published: June 2024

El Estado de bienestar, un sistema político y económico globalmente adoptado, presenta una diversidad de regímenes de bienestar que se definen entre sí, debiéndose entender la relevancia de enfocarnos en la desigualdad y en el rol fundamental del Estado en este ámbito. Esta investigación aborda dichas desigualdades desde una perspectiva de género, uniendo la desmercantilización y la desfamiliarización como categorías de análisis. Se efectúa una comparación internacional por regímenes de bienestar, utilizando datos del Better Life Index de la OCDE (2023), y del Informe de la Fundación FOESSA, analizando dimensiones laborales, contractuales, de dependencia, cuidados y usos del tiempo. Las mujeres realizan más labores no remuneradas, resultando como principal eje de desigualdad que motiva otras externalidades, desarrollándose dentro de unos Estados del bienestar donde su apoyo se limita al trabajo remunerado. La investigación contribuye al análisis de los riesgos sociales no deseados de las sociedades, como el uso del tiempo, y sus consecuencias en diversas etapas vitales.

As stated in the first chapters of this book, politics and money, men were entitled to leisure and entertainment while women were treated as mere objects as they focused on doing housework and caring for their children and husbands, the latter being the head of the family, since women could not be in contact with any political or economic dealings. Nevertheless, gradually, this began to change.
Analysis of genetic variants for different horn phenotypes and their inheritance in Icelandic sheep
Authors: Simon Rebecca , Elísabetardóttir Karólína , Lühken Gesine
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Icelandic sheep are characterized by a great diversity in horn phenotypes. Within their breed, they show a variability in terms of this trait to an extent rarely observed elsewhere. Previously, several genetic variants were published as markers for horn status (in terms of absence or presence of horns, including scurs) and horn traits (e.g., oval horns, horn length and polyceraty). The aim of this study was to genotype, for the first time, five of these genetic variants in Icelandic sheep with different horn phenotypes, as well as to analyze their inheritance. Phenotypic and pedigree data, as well as DNA samples from two Icelandic sheep farms, were used. Genetic variants were genotyped by published PCR-based methods in all samples (n=94) or in subsets. As in other sheep breeds with variable horn status, the inheritance of the presence or absence of horns was shown to be complex in Icelandic sheep, especially when sheep carry anything other than regularly formed horns. The 1.78 kb sized RXFP2 insertion on ovine chromosome 10 previously described to be associated with polledness in several sheep breeds was also found to be present in Icelandic sheep and showed some association but not a perfect segregation with the individuals' horn statuses. Missing associations were especially seen in sheep with scurs and oval horns. Regarding horn shape, there was no agreement with the studied variants described in Chinese breeds having comparable horn traits. However, matching tendencies were seen for the horn size variant that was found in the same study. All sheep with four or more horns carried the already published 4 bp deletion in HOXD1, as previously described for three other sheep breeds. Interestingly, for the first time, the deletion was also detected in phenotypically polled animals originating from multi-horned families. According to the results from animals genotyped simultaneously for the RXFP2 and the HOXD1 variants, polledness in sheep with a genetic disposition for polyceraty seems not to be controlled by the RXFP2 insertion. However, this and all other findings in Icelandic sheep need to be confirmed by analyzing a higher number of well-phenotyped animals.

Abstract. The spatiotemporal distribution of aerosol particles in the atmosphere has a great impact on radiative transfer, clouds, and air quality. Modern remote sensing methods, as well as airborne in situ measurements by unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAV) or balloons, are suitable tools to improve our understanding of the role of aerosol particles in the atmosphere. To validate the measurement capabilities of three relatively new measurement systems and to bridge the gaps that are often encountered between remote sensing and in situ observation, as well as to investigate aerosol particles in and above the boundary layer, we conducted two measurement campaigns and collected a comprehensive dataset employing a scanning aerosol lidar, a balloon-borne radiosonde with the Compact Optical Backscatter Aerosol Detector (COBALD), an optical particle counter (OPC) on a UAV, and a comprehensive set of ground-based instruments. The extinction coefficients calculated from near-ground-level aerosol size distributions measured in situ are well correlated with those retrieved from lidar measurements, with a slope of 1.037 ± 0.015 and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.878, respectively. Vertical profiles measured by an OPC-N3 on a UAV show similar vertical particle distributions and boundary layer heights to lidar measurements. However, the sensor, OPC-N3, shows a larger variability in the aerosol backscatter coefficient measurements, with a Pearson correlation coefficient of only 0.241. In contrast, the COBALD data from a balloon flight are well correlated with lidar-derived backscatter data from the near-ground level up to the stratosphere, with a slope of 1.063 ± 0.016 and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.925, respectively. This consistency between lidar and COBALD data reflects the good data quality of both methods and proves that lidar can provide reliable and spatial distributions of aerosol particles with high spatial and temporal resolutions. This study shows that the scanning lidar has the capability to retrieve backscatter coefficients near the ground level (from 25 to 50 m above ground level) when it conducts horizontal measurement, which is not possible for vertically pointing lidar. These near-ground-level retrievals compare well with ground-level in situ measurements. In addition, in situ measurements on the balloon and UAV validated the scanning lidar retrievals within and above the boundary layer. The scanning aerosol lidar allows us to measure aerosol particle distributions and profiles from the ground level to the stratosphere with an accuracy equal to or better than in situ measurements and with a similar spatial resolution.
Molecular-level carbon traits of fine roots: unveiling adaptation and decomposition under flooded conditions

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Fine roots are vital for plant development and carbon biogeochemical cycling in terrestrial ecosystems. Flooding is known to regulate the physiology and morphology in plant roots; however, its impact on molecular-level characteristics of carbon compounds (carbon traits) in fine roots remains largely unexplored, which limits our understanding of root adaptation and decomposition under changing environments. Here, we used a sequential extraction method, starting from nonpolar to polar solvents, in order to obtain dichloromethane- and methanol-extractable (FDcMe) fractions, base-hydrolyzable (FKOHhy) fractions, and CuO-oxidizable (FCuOox) fractions from fine roots of Dysoxylum binectariferum, which is naturally grown in soil and water. Subsequently, we characterized them using targeted gas chromatography–mass spectrometry and nontargeted Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. Also, decomposition experiments were conducted on soil- and water-grown roots under aerobic and anoxic conditions. Results showed a consistent increase in the unsaturation degree and aromaticity of the analytes from FDcMe to FCuOox fractions. Both analyses were sufficiently sensitive to show that, compared to soil-grown roots, the water-grown roots developed more polyphenolics with a high unsaturation degree and aromaticity and had more nonstructural compositions. Furthermore, although flooding provided an anoxic condition that slowed down root decomposition, the adaptive strategy of developing more nonstructural labile components in water-grown roots accelerated root decomposition, thereby counteracting the effects of anoxia. This advances our understanding of biogeochemical processes in response to global environmental change.
The weather of 1740, the coldest year in Central Europe in 600 years

Published: June 2024

Abstract. The winter 1739/40 is known as one of the coldest winters in Europe since early instrumental measurements began. Many contemporary sources discuss the cold waves and compare the winter to that of 1708/09. It is less well known that the year 1740 remained cold until August and again in October, and that negative temperature anomalies are also found over Eurasia and North America. The 1737/40 cold season over northern midlatitude land areas was perhaps the coldest in 300 years, and 1740 was the coldest year in Central Europe in 600 years. New monthly, global climate reconstructions allow addressing this momentous event in greater detail, while daily observations and weather reconstructions give insight into the synoptic situations. Over Europe, we find that the event was initiated by a strong Scandinavian blocking in early January, allowing the advection continental cold air. From February until June, high pressure dominated over Ireland, arguably associated with frequent East Atlantic blocking. This led to cold air advection from the cold northern North Atlantic. During the summer, cyclonic weather dominated over Central Europe, associated with cold and wet air from the Atlantic. The possible role of oceanic influences (El Niño) and external forcings (eruption of Mount Tarumae in 1739) are discussed. While a possible El Niño event might have contributed to the winter cold spells, the East Atlantic blocking is arguably unrelated to either El Niño or the volcanic eruption. In all, the cold year of 1740 marks one of the strongest, arguably unforced excursions in European temperature.
Reconstruction and forecasting of slow-moving landslide displacement using a Kalman Filter approach
Authors: Mishra Mohit , Besançon Gildas , Chambon Guillaume , Baillet Laurent
Published: June 2024

Abstract.  This work presents an approach for reconstructing displacement patterns and unknown soil properties of slowmoving landslides, using a special form of so-called Kalman filter or observer. The approach relies on a model for the prediction step, with online correction based on available measurements. The observer proposed here relies on a simplified viscoplastic sliding model consisting of a rigid block sliding on an inclined surface. Landslide (slide block) motion is controlled by a balance between gravity and sliding resistance provided by friction, basal pore fluid pressure, cohesion, and viscosity. In order to improve the observer performance upon abrupt changes in parameters, a resetting method is proposed. A novel tuning method, based on a combination of synthetic and actual test cases, is introduced to overcome the sensitivity to observer coefficients. Known parameter values (landslide geometrical parameters and known material properties) as well as water-table height time series are provided as inputs. The observer then reconstructs landslide displacement and the evolution of unknown parameters over time. The case of Super-Sauze landslide (French Alps), with data taken from the literature, is used to illustrate the potential of the approach. Finally, the observer is extended to forecast displacement patterns over different temporal horizons assuming that future water-table height variations are known.

Published: June 2024

Abstract. Observations of contrail are vital for improving understanding of contrail formation and lifecycle, informing models, and assessing contrail mitigation strategies. Ground-based cameras offer a cost-effective means to observe the formation and evolution of young contrails and can be used to assess the accuracy of existing models. Here, we develop a methodology to track and analyse contrails from ground-based cameras, comparing these observations against simulations from the contrail cirrus prediction model (CoCiP) with actual flight trajectories. The ground-based contrail observations consist of 14 h of video footage recorded on five different days over Central London, capturing a total of 1,619 flight waypoints from 283 unique flights. Our results suggest that the best agreement between the observed and simulated contrail formation occurs at around 35,000–40,000 feet and at temperatures at least 10 K below the Schmidt-Appleman Criterion threshold temperature (TSAC). Conversely, the largest discrepancies occurred when contrails are formed below 30,000 feet and at temperatures within 2.5 K of TSAC. On average, the simulated contrail width is 17.5 % smaller than the observed geometric width. This discrepancy could be caused by the underestimation of sub-grid scale wind shear and turbulent mixing in the simulation, and model representation of the contrail cross-sectional shape. Overall, these findings demonstrate the capability of ground-based cameras to inform weather and contrail model development when combined with flight telemetry.
Adaptive Behavior of Over a Million Individual Farmers Under Consecutive Droughts: A Large-Scale Agent-Based Modeling Analysis in the Bhima Basin, India
Authors: Kalthof Maurice W. M. L. , de Bruijn Jens , de Moel Hans , Kreibich Heidi , Aerts Jeroen C. J. H.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Consecutive droughts, becoming more likely, produce impacts beyond the sum of individual events by altering catchment hydrology and influencing farmers' adaptive responses. We use GEB, a coupled agent-based hydrological model, and expand it with the Subjective Expected Utility Theory (SEUT) to realistically simulate farmer behavior and subsequent hydrological interactions. We apply GEB to analyze the adaptive responses of ±1.4 million heterogeneous farmers in India's Bhima basin over consecutive droughts and compare scenarios with and without adaptation. In adaptive scenarios, farmers can either do nothing, switch crops, or dig wells, based on each action’s expected utility. Our analysis examines how these adaptations affect profits, yields, and groundwater levels, considering, e.g., farm size, risk aversion and drought perception. Results indicate that farmers’ adaptive responses can decrease drought vulnerability and impact after one drought (x6 yield loss reduction), but increase it over consecutive due to switching to water-intensive crops and homogeneous cultivation (+15 % income drop). Moreover, adaptive patterns, vulnerability, and impacts vary spatiotemporally and between individuals. Lastly, ecological and social shocks can coincide to plummet farmer incomes. We recommend alternative or additional adaptations to wells to mitigate drought impact and emphasize the importance of coupled socio-hydrological ABMs for risk analysis or policy testing.
Copper permalloys for fluxgate magnetometer sensors
Authors: Narod B. Barry , Miles David M.
Published: June 2024

Abstract. Fluxgate magnetometers are commonly used to provide high-fidelity vector magnetic field measurements. The magnetic noise of the measurement is typically dominated by that intrinsic to a ferromagnetic core used to modulate (gate) the local field as part of the fluxgate sensing mechanism. A polycrystalline molybdenum–nickel–iron alloy (6.0–81.3 Mo permalloy) has been used in fluxgates since the 1970s for its low magnetic noise. Guided by previous investigations of high-permeability copper–nickel–iron alloys, we investigate alternative materials for fluxgate sensing by examining the magnetic properties and fluxgate performance of that permalloy regime in the range 28 %–45 % Cu by weight. Optimizing the alloy constituents within this regime enables us to create fluxgate cores with both lower noise and lower power consumption than equivalent cores based on the traditional molybdenum alloy. Racetrack geometry cores using six layers of ∼30 mm long foil washers consistently yield magnetic noise around 4–5 pT/Hz at 1 Hz and 6–7 pT/Hz at 0.1 Hz, meeting the 2012 1 s INTERMAGNET standard of less than 10 pT/Hz noise at 0.1 Hz.

Published: June 2024

Esta investigación tiene como objetivo diagnosticar la Nueva Agenda Urbana como herramienta del gobierno local para impulsar la renaturalización frente al cambio climático. Se utilizó un enfoque cualitativo, con un método etnográfico. Se recolectaron datos mediante observación participante y entrevistas no estructuradas a representantes de alcaldías, ONG, representantes del sector salud, consejos comunales y gremios profesionales con experiencia en el área ambiental, además de efectuar una revisión del estado del arte de las categorías de estudio. Se realizó triangulación para asegurar la fiabilidad de la información obtenida. Entre los hallazgos encontrados se destaca que la función del gobierno local es hacer crecer la ciudad como un organismo vivo, mejorando espacios verdes y plazas con estrategias de renaturalización para mitigar los efectos del cambio climático. Se observan esfuerzos del gobierno local para resolver estos problemas, pero los históricos problemas de la ciudad parecen mitigar los esfuerzos de las autoridades locales a orientar la planificación para buscar soluciones viables y atenuar los efectos del cambio climático. El gobierno local deberá generar políticas que fomenten espacios verdes, balcones y terrazas verdes en áreas públicas para contribuir con los Objetivos del Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS). Se puede concluir que la Nueva Agenda Urbana constituye una herramienta valiosa para el gobierno local en la promoción de la renaturalización y la lucha contra el cambio climático. Se necesitan políticas públicas que incentiven la creación de espacios verdes y la participación ciudadana para lograr ciudades más sostenibles y recipientes. Esta investigación proporciona información valiosa sobre el papel de la NAU en la promoción de la renaturalización y la lucha contra el cambio climático. Los resultados pueden ser utilizados por el gobierno local, las ONG, la academia y la comunidad en general para desarrollar estrategias más efectivas para la construcción de ciudades más sostenibles y resilientes.
Una revisión de la producción científico-académica sobre turismo en la Unión Europea (2013-23)
Authors: Sánchez Bayón Antonio , Pellejero Carmelo , Luque Marta
Published: June 2024

Este artículo de revisión es un estudio heterodoxo de Historia Económica y del Pensamiento Económico y de sus Instituciones, así como de Economía Pública, para evaluar el desarrollo de la producción científicoacadémica sobre el turismo en el seno de la Unión Europea. Resulta que la producción científico-académica de los últimos diez años (2013-23, según Scopus) ha coincidido con la salida de dos grandes recesiones, como la Gran Recesión de 2008 y la de COVID-19. Si la Gran Recesión de 2008 supuso la búsqueda de una nueva narrativa de reintegración europea, la producción científico-académica se sincronizó con los discursos oficiales y sin una revisión paradigmática desde los microfundamentos económicos, se impulsó una propuesta política de sostenibilidad y crecimiento verde de corte neokeynesiano. Con la crisis de COVID-19, la producción científico-académica se alineó con el marco del Pacto Verde, de influjo neo y poskeynesiano, impulsándose un decrecimiento verde, afectándose así sensiblemente al sector turístico. En vez de estimularse uno de los principales motores económicos europeos (el turismo supone más del 10% de su PIB), promoviéndose su digitalización, se le han puesto más barreras verdes y se pretende su sustitución por una industria verde, que ha empezado a afectar ya al turismo rural y cultural de la Economía Naranja. Frente a tal posición, asumida por el Pacto Verde Europeo, se ofrecen aquí alternativas heterodoxas de fundamentos (austriacos y neoinstitucionalistas, sobre todo), focalizándose en el fomento de estrategia de digitalización y talento en el sector turístico, para ofrecer ágiles experiencias personalizadas de Economía del conocimiento e innovación.
Trabajo no asalariado, políticas públicas y estrategias de atención de necesidades ante el COVID-19 en Argentina
Authors: Hopp Malena Victoria
Published: June 2024

El objetivo del artículo es analizar las políticas públicas destinadas a trabajadores/as no asalariados/as, implementadas en Argentina para atender las consecuencias socioeconómicas de la pandemia, considerando: a) el modo en que participaron en la regulación de las condiciones laborales a partir de establecer el carácter esencial o no esencial de las actividades, y ofreciendo formas de apoyo diferenciales para distintas categorías de trabajadores/as y unidades productivas; y b) las estrategias familiares y colectivas desplegadas frente a las limitaciones y dificultades de acceso a las mismas para sostener la reproducción de la vida. Utilizamos una metodología cualitativa que articuló entrevistas semiestructuradas a dos grupos de trabajadores/as no asalariados/as: vendedores ambulantes y trabajadores/as de plataformas de reparto, con el análisis de normativas e información estadística. El artículo muestra que las políticas implementadas replicaron esquemas de intervención existentes en los que el trabajo asalariado formal tiene una gravitación fundamental. A partir de ello se distinguieron los sectores de actividad esenciales y no esenciales, las modalidades de intervención estatal, los recursos y la calidad de las prestaciones según la condición laboral formal-informal, asalariada-no asalariada. Este esquema (re)produjo y profundizó desigualdades de protección y acceso a derechos y tendió a colocar a los/as no asalariados/as en el espacio de la asistencia. Al tiempo que se buscaba atender las necesidades, las políticas revelaban las fracturas del mundo del trabajo que adquirieron una nueva entidad durante la pandemia.

This study determined the level of parental support and its influence on the well-being of youth in the province of Sorsogon. The main respondents of the study were 308 students from Grades 9 to 12 level from Prieto Diaz District I and II (SY 2022-2023). The study used a researcher-made and standardized questionnaire that underwent validation pre-testing. The study utilized descriptive-correlational and evaluative methods to analyze the impact of parental support on youth well-being. The descriptive method analyzed weighted mean, percentage, and rank, while the correlational method determined significant differences between parental support and respondents' well-being using Analysis of Variance. The evaluative method tested relationships between parental support and well-being among aspects using Pearson R. The study found that parental support for aspects of the well-being of the youth is very good. Youth exhibit excellent well-being. The relationship between parental support and youth well-being is highly significant, suggesting that if indicators of parental support are good, high well-being is expected. The proposed sustainable plan was crafted to help the local government unit sustain and upscale the level of parental support to the well-being of their children.

Bu çalışmanın amacı bir hizmet üretim birimi olan hastane acil servis departmanında hastaların bekleme sürelerinin en aza indirilmesi ve personelin meşguliyet oranının en uygun seviyeye getirilebilmesi amacıyla uygun personel sayısının belirlenerek optimum hizmet kalitesinin elde edilmesine çalışmaktır. Hastane Acil Servis Departmanının modellenebilmesi için Kahramanmaraş’ta bir kamu hastanesinden temin edilen 2022 yılı verileri kullanılmıştır. Verilerden bazıları hastane sisteminden çıktı olarak temin edilmiş bazıları da gözlem yoluyla elde edilen değerlerden oluşturulmuştur. Dolayısıyla sistemin modellenmesinde kullanılan bazı değişkenler yaklaşık değerleri içermektedir. Hastane acil servis iş akış süreci Arena Simülasyon yazılımı üzerinde modellenmiş ve optimum hizmet kalitesi için gereken optimum personel sayısı, optimum personel kullanım oranı ve birim zamanda hastalara harcanan maksimum katma değerli sürelere ulaşabilmek amacıyla model üzerinde farklı değişkenler denenerek oluşturulan senaryolar doğrultusunda model koşulmuş ve ortaya çıkan raporlar analiz edilmiştir. Modelleme yapılırken verilerin olasılık dağılımları için Smirnov-Kolmogorov uygunluk testi yapılmış ve veri setindeki maddelerin hangi olasılık dağılımına uyduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırmada simülasyon modelinin ürettiği sonuçlar arasında en ideal çözüme ulaşabilmek amacıyla PROMETHEE II (Preference Ranking Organization Method For Enrichment Evaluation) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Acil Servis Departmanında bu yöntem kullanılarak yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre ortaya atılan 5 adet senaryo arasında incelenen, 1 adet kayıt ve triyaj personeli 2 adet hemşire, 3 adet doktor ve 1 adet laboratuvar personeli çalıştırılmasını içeren senaryonun modellenen birim için en uygun senaryo olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Başka bir deyişle incelenen Acil Servis Departmanında yukarıda belirtilen senaryonun uygulanması durumunda hastalara sağlanan hizmet kalitesi optimuma ulaşmış olacaktır.

OBJECTIVES: Several studies have found higher sickness absence in shared and open workspaces than in private offices, but little is known about why these differences occur. We propose and test job control as a potential mechanism underlying observed differences in the risk of physician-certified sickness absence between private offices and shared and open workspaces.

METHODS: We conducted a counterfactual mediation analysis using observational survey data from a nationally representative sample of Norwegian employees merged with prospective data from national registries (N=5512). The registry data included information about whether participants had any physician-certified sickness absence the year following the survey. Models were adjusted for age, sex, education level, occupation group, executive/leadership responsibility, and time spent on office work.

RESULTS: We found significantly higher sickness absence risk in conventional [risk ratio (RR) 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.01‒1.25] and non-territorial (RR 1.20, 95% 1.04‒1.37) open-plan and non-territorial shared-room offices (RR 1.29, 95% CI 1.13‒1.48) compared to private offices. Natural indirect effects due to job control were statistically significant in all contrasts and accounted for 19–34% of total effects depending on contrast.

CONCLUSIONS: Findings were in line with hypothesized relationships and suggest that job control may be a mechanism underlying observed differences in sickness absence across office concepts. Future studies should continue to explore potential mechanisms linking shared and open workspaces to higher sickness absence and other unfavorable outcomes in the workplace, particularly with study designs that provide stronger basis for causal inference.
Does job stress mediate the risk of work disability due to common mental disorders among social workers compared with other health and social care, education, and non-human service professionals? A prospective cohort study of public sector employees in Finland

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate (i) the risk of work disability (>10-day sickness absence spell or disability pension) due to common mental disorders (CMD) among social workers compared with other health and social care, education, and non-human service professionals and (ii) whether the risk was mediated by job stress.

METHODS: A cohort of 16 306 public sector professionals in Finland was followed using survey data from baseline (2004 or if not available, 2008) on job stress [job strain or effort-reward imbalance (ERI)] and register data on work disability due to CMD from baseline through 2011. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the risk of work disability due to CMD between three occupation-pairs in a counterfactual setting, controlling for age, sex, job contract, body mass index, alcohol risk use, smoking, and physical inactivity.

RESULTS: Social workers’ job stress was at higher level only when compared to education professionals. Thus, the mediation hypothesis was analyzed comparing social workers to education professionals. Social workers had a higher risk of work disability due to CMD compared with education professionals [hazard ratio (HR) 2.08, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.58–2.74]. This HR was partly mediated by job strain (24%) and ERI (12%). Social workers had a higher risk of work disability than non-human service professionals (HR 1.54, 95% CI 1.13–2.09), but not compared with other health and social care professionals.

CONCLUSIONS: Job stress partly mediated the excess risk of work disability among social workers only in comparison with education professionals.

Objective: We present data of patients with relapsed/ refractory T cell lymphomas treated with brentuximab vedotin (BV) in real-world practice.
Material and Method: This study is an observational, multi-center, retrospective study. The data of patients (n=17) treated with BV alone from January 2014 until July 2020 in thirteen centers from Turkey were collected.
Results: Bv was given as salvage chemotherapy to 17 patients with median age of 53. Nine (52.9%) patients had diagnosis of peripheral T cell lymphoma, not otherwise specified; 8 (47.1%) patients had anaplastic large T cell lymphoma. The median follow-up of the cohort was 20 months. Nine (52.9%) patients had complete response, 5 (29.5%) had partial response, 3 (17.6%) had progressive disease. The safety results aligned with the established profile of BV, included 2 pneumonia and 1 thrombocytopenia with grade 4. The median progression free survival of the cohort was 10 months. BV cycle and response to BV therapy were found to have an effect on the univariate analysis.
Conclusion: In patients with relapsed/ refractory T cell lymphomas, BV seems to have convincing antitumor activity with favorable safety profile.

Objective: The aim of this study was to research the frequency of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-B27 antigen positivity and relationship between HLA-B27 positivity and other autoantibodies and between HLA-B27 positivity and treatment in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Material and Method: The study is a retrospective study. Patients diagnosed with RA and AS as a result of the examinations performed at Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic between January 2017 and September 2022 were retrospectively screened, and patients whose HLA-B27 antigen was tested were included in study.
Results: A total of 569 patients, 199 with RA and 370 with AS were included in study. While HLA-B27 was positive in 11% of patients with RA, it was 37.5% in patients with AS and there was a significant difference between the groups. When we analyzed the correlation of autoantibodies with HLA-B27, we found that HLA-B27 was not correlated with RF, Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides (Anti-CCP) or Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA). When we analyzed the relationship between HLA-B27 and the treatment method, there was no significant relationship between HLA-B27 and treatment method.
Conclusion: While HLA-B27 was found to be 5% positive in the general population in the literature, we found 11% in 199 patients with RA. This study is important because it shows that HLA-B27 positivity is not very common in patients diagnosed with AS recently contrary to popular belief. More studies are needed to evaluate HLA-B27 frequency in RA and AS.
