Strengthening of friction surfaces by using geomodifiers based on serpentines from the Dashukivka deposit
Authors: Bodu Svіtlana , Andrieiev Vyacheslav , Novoshytskyi Anton
Published: July 2023

The object of research is the process of improving the tribological characteristics of friction joints, in particular anti-wear and anti-burr properties.
There is a practice of using serpentines, so-called "friction geomodifiers" (FGM), as special repair and restoration additives. Their use leads to a decrease in the coefficient of friction and temperatures in the contact zone; an increase in the mass of parts is observed, which indicates the restoration of worn surfaces. The mechanism of formation of new structures is still unclear. There are hypotheses that severe friction conditions initiate micrometallurgical processes at the atomic-crystalline level, as a result of which modified layers with unique tribological characteristics are formed on the surfaces.
A comparative analysis of the main indicators of serpentines of the Dashukivka deposit in terms of chemical composition and structure showed their correspondence to widely known analogs but they were never used in such a capacity.
According to the results of the tests, the additives have shown their effectiveness as geomodifiers of friction. Addition of 4 % serpentine to the lubricating composition based on I-20 A oil reduced the wear rate by 2–3 times, the friction moment by 15 %, compared to I-20 A without additives.
An increase in surface microhardness was observed, from 6 GPa for the basic variant to 10 GPa, for the variant with FGM additives.
It has been established that the use is most effective for heavily loaded friction pairs (ship fittings, hatch closures, etc.) as it increases the clamping load (from 600 to 1400 N for a pair of steel 45/ShKh15); with increasing load, the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear decrease.
The results confirm the need to expand research into this area to solve the complex problem of increasing the reliability of tribojunctions.
Keywords: repair and restoration technologies, friction geomodifiers, serpentine, heavily loaded friction pairs
Study of factors affecting the in vitro release of dexpanthenol from solutions and topical semi-solid preparations
Authors: Bezuglaya Elena , Liapunova Anna , Zinchenko Igor , Lyapunov Nikolay
Published: July 2023

The aim. To identify the factors influencing the in vitro release of dexpanthenol (DP) from solutions and semi-solid preparations.

Materials and methods. Dispersed systems containing 5.0 % DP were studied: solutions that were Newtonian liquids and semi-solid preparations (creams, gels and ointment) with non-Newtonian flow behaviour. Rheological studies were performed by rotational viscometry. In vitro release tests were performed using vertical diffusion cells. The content of DP in the receptor medium was determined by liquid chromatography.

Results. It has been shown that the greatest values of release parameters of DP were characteristic of its aqueous solution; they decreased when propylene glycol (PG), macrogol 400 (M400), and poloxamer 338 (P338) were added but remained at a high enough level. The inclusion of cationic surfactant and cetostearyl alcohol (CSA) (0.5 : 4.5 % m/m) into the Newtonian liquid led to the formation of disperse system with a plastic flow behaviour and to significant decrease in the DP release. In the case of a cream containing a non-ionic surfactant and CSA, the release parameters of DP were also at a low level. The release of DP from the w/o emulsion-based ointment was minimal. Compared to DP aqueous solution, the rate of DP release from a carbomer-based gel decreased by 2.8 times; when 20 % of a mixture of PG and M400 (10 : 10 % m/m) was added to such a gel, the rate of drug release decreased by another 1.5 times. The fastest and most complete release of DP was observed in the case of the P338-based disperse system, which transformed from a Newtonian liquid into a gel at 32 °C.

Conclusions. In vitro release of DP depended on the type of base; rapid and complete release of DP was characteristic of its aqueous solution, and minimal release was observed in the case of hydrophobic ointment. The use of CSA in combination with a surfactant or carbomer to create bases for semi-solid preparations with plastic flow behaviour was a considerable factor that significantly slowed down the release of DP from them. The greatest values of the release parameters of DP were observed in the case of a gel based on P338

Authors: Miedviedieva Kateryna , Vasyuk Svitlana , Portna Olena
Published: July 2023

In Ukraine, there are about 100 thousand people with epilepsy. Gabapentin is an effective antiepileptic agent for oral use, presented in capsules of different dosages from different manufacturers. Therefore, the urgent task of pharmaceutical analysis today is the development of highly accurate, reliable, affordable and fast methods of quantitative determination.
The aim of the work is to develop a spectrophotometric technique for the quantitative determination of gabapentin in capsules based on the reaction with diazole red 2J in compliance with the SPhU.
Material and methods. As reagent and solvent, diazole red 2J of AR grade, acetone of AR grade and purified water was used. Analytical equipment: Specord 200 and Specord 250 Plus spectrophotometers, ABT-120-5DM and Radwag XA 210.4Y electronic scales, Elmasonic E 60H and Sonorex Digitec DT100H ultrasonic baths, measuring glassware of A class.
Results. A simple, accurate and eco-friendly colourimetric method was developed for the quantification of gabapentin in capsules. The method was based on the reaction of gabapentin with diazole red 2J to give a coloured product having analytical maxima at 390 nm. Factors affecting colour development and stability were optimized and incorporated into the procedure. Regression analysis of Beer's plot showed a good correlation (not less than 0.999) in a concentration range of 2.10 – 3.64 mg/100 ml. The detection and quantification limits were 2.25 % and 6.19 %, respectively. The intra- and inter-laboratory precision demonstrates and reflects no interference by the capsule additives and confirms the reproducibility of the method in the selected concentration range. The prediction of the total uncertainty of the results of the developed method is calculated and displayed to assess the correctness of the reproduction of the method.
Conclusions. It has been proven that the developed method meets the requirements of the State Pharmacopoeia of Ukraine and allows to perform the correct quality control of medicinal products.

Ideologías enfrentadas: Job y el debate entre las sabidurías en el Israel posexílico
Authors: Ariza Abiud Fonseca
Published: July 2023

El libro de Job expone un debate ideológico entre la sabiduría tradicional y la nueva sabiduría que se fue instalando en Judea, a finales del periodo persa e inicios del helénico. La ideología en el mundo antiguo tenía como sustrato a la religión, que atravesaba todas las aristas de la vida social. La discusión implicó una controversia entre dos cosmovisiones divergentes, ambas configuradas desde sus propias imaginaciones de la divinidad, el ser humano y la relación entre ambos; específicamente en cómo la justicia se opera en esta relación. Este enfrentamiento ideológico se encuentra registrado en la amplia sección poética del libro, en los diálogos entre Job y sus interlocutores, y en los monólogos. Las propuestas de la nueva sabiduría encontraron una respuesta positiva en la comunidad lectora, por su concepción de una justicia que traspasaba las lógicas de la retribución propias de la doctrina sacerdotal. La poesía de Job expone más la tensión ideológica que una resolución.

Social and ethnic-racial inequities of physical accessibility to street markets in Porto Alegre/RS, Brazil
Authors: Borges Daniely , Canuto Raquel , Pasqual Francisco , Rosa Giovani , Vargas Júlio Borello
Published: July 2023

Street markets in Brazil are important spaces for the commercialization of fruits and vegetables (FV), which access by the urban population is considered one of the key aspects for the socalled “healthy cities”. This study adopts an ecological approach with geographic-spatial emphasis to describe accessibility to street markets in Porto Alegre, Brazil, by four different modes of transport (walking, bicycle, bus and car). The distribution of markets across the city is more balanced than other food establishments, although physical accessibility is highly uneven across modes of transport: the ability to reach a market on foot in 10 minutes or less is restricted to no more than 25 % of the population, while almost 90% can do it by driving a car. More importantly, the study found a direct and positive association between levels of accessibility to street markets and income: wealthier areas can reach fairs in less time using any mode of transport than poorer ones (p<0.001). In addition, regions with a majority of white inhabitants have significantly better accessibility to the fairs on foot, by bicycle and by bus (p<0.01) than regions with a majority of Black, Indigenous or yellow populations. Our study highlights the importance of addressing inequalities in access to healthy foods.
EFFECT OF THE NANOFLUID FLOW AND EXTENDED SURFACES ON AN ABRUPT EXPANSION TUBE REGARDING THERMODYNAMIC IRREVERSIBILITY
Authors: Pazarlioğlu Hayati Kadir , Ekiciler Recep
Published: July 2023

Numerous scientists have examined circular dimpled surfaces, tubes, and other approaches for enhancing heat transfer. Moreover, the dimples' angle of attack has a substantial effect on the tube's flow and thermal features. This numerical study presents a novel approach to enhancing heat transfer rate in a tube subjected to constant heat flux by incorporating a surface dimpling strategy and evaluates three different tube layouts with elliptical dimpled fins for different working fluids such as DW and Al2O3/DW nanofluid (φ = 0.5-1.0%) by using ANSYS Fluent v2020R2 under laminar flow conditions. Under identical circumstances, the thermal performances of proposed designs are compared to those of a smooth tube, and the influence of the elliptical dimpled fin angle of attack on these parameters is determined for different Reynolds numbers (1000 ≤ Re ≤ 2000). When comparing the Nusselt number of a tube with/without elliptical dimpled fins, it is found that EDT 1 performed better. Lower Reynolds numbers are shown to result in a greater friction factor. Besides, elliptical dimpled fins promote flow mixing within the tube and the establishment of a thermal boundary layer. At a 135° attack angle (EDT 1), the 1.0% Al2O3/DW nanof﻿luid is found to be the best-performing nanofluid in the dimpled tube, improving Nu by up to 44.56%. Furthermore, ff presented an increase of 29.18% when comparing ST and EDT 1 flowing 1.0% Al2O3/DW at Re = 2000, while total
Sgen is diminished by 37.75% in the same conditions.
SIMULATION OF THE COLD-END TEMPERATURE AND THE OPTIMAL CURRENT OF THERMOELECTRIC COOLER WITH VARIABLE SEMICONDUCTOR CROSS SECTION USING LATTICE BOLTZMANN METHOD
Authors: Xu Jimin , Lai Tianwang , Liu Xiangyang , He Maogang
Published: July 2023

In order to evaluate the effects of variable semiconductor cross section on the cold-end temperature of thermoelectric cooler (TEC), the numerical model of the cold-end temperature field of TEC with variable semiconductor cross section was established using the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in this work, Firstly, the Chapman-Enskog expansion method was used to derive the LBM model and build the parameter connection between the continuous equation and the discrete model. Secondly, nine different types of cross section of TECs were designed to calculate cold-end temperature field at different electric current. Finally, it is found that increasing the cross-sectional area of the cold end will decrease the minimum cold-end temperature, but increase the optimal current. While maintaining the same
cross-sectional area of the cold end, decreasing the hot-end cross-sectional area has less effect on the minimum cold-end temperature but decreases the optimal current. In order to increase the cooling capacity, the cross-sectional area of the cold end can be appropriately larger. TEC of type 2# with a larger cross section at the cold end reduces the cooling temperature by 15.38 K at the cost of a coefficient of performance reduction of 0.021.
THREE-DIMENSIONAL THERMO-HYDRO-MECHANICAL DYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF A HALF-SPACE UNDER FRACTIONAL ORDER THEORY OF THERMOELASTICITY
Authors: Guo Ying , Fang Zhiyuan , Xiong Chunbao , Yu Kuahai
Published: July 2023

To permit understanding and improvement of subgrade load bearing performance, this paper presents the analysis of a three-dimensional (3D), half-space, elastic subgrade coupling of multi-fields using normal mode analysis (NMA) under Ezzat's fractional order generalized theory of thermoelasticity. Using this method, the analytical equation can be divided into two parts, and the analysis is done with neither integral transformation nor inverse transformation, thereby increasing the speed of decoupling and eliminating the limitation of numerical inverse transformation. The influence of fractional order parameter, load frequency, and permeability coefficient on the thermo-hydro-mechanical dynamic (THMD) coupling media is analyzed for two loading protocols, including thermal impact and normal load. The distributions of the dimensionless vertical displacement, temperature, stress, excess pore water pressure, and strain in the porous structure are analyzed and discussed in detail. The results of the analysis show that the load frequency plays an important role in determining the result values of all dimensionless physical variables. The fractional order parameter only has a significant effect on the calculations of physical variables of the upper surface subjected to thermal impact, and the permeability coefficient mainly affects the stress, strain, and excess pore water pressure. The developed computational method can improve the decoupling speed without any transformation, and it eliminates the limitation of numerical inverse transformation. The method has wide potential application in many engineering fields.
Wh-which relatives and the existence of pied-piping
Authors: Pesetsky David , Evile Kanoe
Published: July 2023

This paper describes and offers an analysis of a kind of relative clause acceptable to some English speakers that we call a wh-which relative, e.g. the snowmen whom (of) which the children loved. We propose that these relatives involve the movement of a phrase headed by an element that we call R, analogous to the Q posited by Cable (2010a, 2010b) for interrogatives — the optional of in the example above being an overt form of a special variant of R. The syntax of this variant resembles particularly closely the variant of Q proposed by Coon (2009) for Ch’ol interrogatives in triggering movement to its specifier — but with a puzzle that has a parallel in Finnish, for which we propose a tentative solution. The analysis thus supports the overall explanatory landscape for pied-piping phenomena proposed by Cable, but presents a challenge to his broader claim that all pied-piping phenomena can be explained in this way. If correct, it provides yet one more instance of the "unity in diversity" of syntactic structures across the world’s languages.

Published: July 2023

This article explores the exhibition Plastic Heart: Surface All the Way Through. Curated by the Synthetic Collective, the exhibition emerged from a scientific study aimed at tracking plastic pellet pollution on the strandlines of beaches of the Great Lakes. This lake system crosses the border of the United States and Canada and contains more than 20% of the world’s surface freshwater reserves. Utilizing this study as a starting point, Plastic Heart also examined the role of plastics in the art world, the challenges of conserving plastics in museum collections, and the potential for art-science collaboration. Importantly, Plastic Heart also aimed for a minimal carbon impact, driving decisions throughout the process to mitigate the energy footprint and waste generated during curation. Using Plastic Heart as a case study, the authors address the strengths and weaknesses of the curatorial approach employed in the exhibition and argue for curatorial strategies grounded in complexity as a method of addressing environmental issues.

Authors: Fernández-Benavides Alejandro , Castillo-Palacios Stefanny
Published: July 2023

The interconnected and changing social, political and economic reality of the postmodern era pushes for a perspective of language teaching that addresses the intercultural dimension of communication in the EFL classroom. This need added to the persistence of ethnocentrism, hate discourses, and discrimination demand an active role of teachers and students as intercultural mediators. This goal can be achieved with the integration of the intercultural dimension in language teaching. Therefore, this study aimed to integrate the intercultural approach of language teaching through the exploration of the cultural meanings in Rhythm and Blues (r&b) music. In this way, data collection included a survey, focus group sessions, students’ artifacts and observations. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis and some themes explored were the cultural dimension of R&B, the affordances of music to discover other cultures, the students’ conception of culture, and the relevance of culture in EFL. Finally, findings showed that the students identified some cultural manifestations in r&b music and its potential to examine other cultures. Similarly, the participants discovered the importance of culture in language learning and its role to enhance their pedagogic experiences.

Despite a growing interest in the field of neuroeducation, it is widely accepted that attempts to establish interdisciplinary links between education and neuroscience can also lead to misunderstanding and miscommunication. Errors arising from misreading, misunderstanding or misquoting information about the brain and its functions are called neuromyths. Educational neuromyths, on the other hand, are defined as widely accepted erroneous beliefs that contribute to pseudo-scientific practices in educational settings, resulting from a misunderstanding of neuroscience. Neuromyths seen as a problem existing in educational environments for many reasons such as causing false truths in education and training, causing ineffective teaching, wasting important resources such as effort, time and money to be used for effective teaching practices, negatively affecting the reliability of the teaching profession and neuroscience research. For this reason, it is stated that neuromyths should be detected and eliminated. The purpose of this article is to give information about the causes of neuromyths, the importance of neuromyths in education, and how to eliminate neuromyths, by looking at neuromyths that cause problems in education from an educational point of view.

This study aimed to characterize medical terms in an online cancer forum, with particular focus on specialization and semantic features. A three-step analysis was carried out on a 60-million-word corpus to detect and characterize the most typical medical terms used in a cancer forum by means of (1) keywords contrastive, (2) co-text-guided, and (3) semantic analyses. More than half of the 1000 words analysed were medical terms according to the co-text-guided analysis carried out. Most of them (73%) were dictionary-defined medical terms, followed by co-text-defined terms (9%) and medical initialisms (8.5%). The semantic analysis showed a higher number of terms within the fields of Anatomy, Treatment, Hospital and Symptoms. Our findings suggest that medical terms are commonly used in cancer forums, especially to share e-patients’ concerns about treatment, symptoms and hospital environment. The method followed is efficient and could be applied in future studies. Altogether, this article contributes to characterizing medical terms used by e-patients in online cancer forums

As an export commodity, rubber is a major contributor to Indonesia's foreign exchange. Regarding the increase in rubber production, a study on combinations of growth regulators and rubber clones has been carried out based on plant growth and anatomical characteristics during the immature plant period. This research is conducted for eighteen months at the KSO Karang Inong plantations, PTPN-I, and PTPN-III, East Aceh District, using five clones. This study adopts a nested design with three factors: clones, Growth Regulators (GRs), and paclobutrazol. The clones used are PB 260, IRR 104, IRR 112, IRR 39, and 105. The GRs combination factor between IAA and Kinetin consists of seven levels and three levels of paclobutrazol. The results show that the rubber clones PB260 and IRR105 give higher stem girth and plant height than the other clones when applied with GRs at six different levels. The most expansive leaf area is found in clone IRR 104 compared to other clones. In addition, paclobutrazol affects plant height. Applying paclobutrazol can reduce plant height for all clones but increases stem girth, skin thickness, number and diameter of latex vessels, and total chlorophyll at 46 months after treatment.

Pucak Meru Temple is one of the temples belonging to the Kahyangan Jagat Temple, which is located in Banjar Kasianan, Pangsan Village, Petang District, Badung Regency, Bali. Pucak Meru Temple has a cave called Goa Meru which is a historical witness to the establishment of this temple. Pucak Meru Temple has several uniqueness, namely, in Goa Meru flowing 5 sources of water, inside the cave there are also guards in the form of snakes and there are also many ancient kepeng coins, and during piodalan in this temple it always rains even during the dry season. when pujawali does not rain, it is certain that the drought will be long. Pucak Meru Temple is a temple that recently has the status of Kahyangan Jagat Temple, so the name of this temple as Kahyangan Jagat Temple is still foreign to the public. With the current development of information technology, the author built a Website-Based Virtual Tour 360 Degree application which aims to provide effective information and the impression as if you had been at Pucak Meru Temple. This application was built using the MDLC (Multimedia Development Life Cycle) method. Based on the test results using the heuristic evaluation method, the results were quite good and through the system usability scale testing, an average SUS score of 80 was obtained, thus concluding that each function is running well and can be used easily by users.

Education is one of the foundations in life that starts early. Early childhood education is a program that requires parents to introduce their children to various things, especially introducing Al-Qur'an recitation. This is shown as a coaching effort for children from birth to the age of six. In the learning process it often happens that a teacher has difficulty conveying material to students, especially introducing the Al-Qur'an. This is due to the relatively short time in the learning process. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to create a learning application using macromedia flash to introduce recitation of the Qur'an which can help teachers and parents of students in the learning process of children outside of learning hours. The method used in developing this application uses the multimedia development life cycle method with the Luther model which has six stages, namely, (1) Concept, (2) Design, (3) Material Collection, (4) Manufacture, (5) Testing, (6) Distribution. Starting from this problem, the method used can be one of the interactive learning materials designed to be as attractive as possible to arouse children's enthusiasm in learning the Pronounce Arabic (Makhorijul Huruf) of the Qur'an so as to improve the quality of learning and minimize the estimated time used in the learning process. The result of this research is an application to recognize the Makhorijul Huruf of the Qur'an which can assist teachers in conveying learning with new and interesting methods.

Virtual Reality is a technology used in today's application development. Virtual Reality allows users to fully engage in a 3D visual environment and perform various activities. Indonesia has approximately 515 species that are threatened with extinction based on data on the IUCN website. The purpose of this research is to introduce rare biodiversity in Indonesia through a Virtual Reality-based application to reduce extinction rates. In the process of making applications, the authors use the SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) Waterfall model, which is a software development model with organized and structured stages. SDLC Waterfall stages include needs analysis, planning or design, implementation, and testing, including 3D creation and integration with Unity3D. Testing is applied to the black box testing method. From the trials conducted, this application can run smoothly on computers and laptops with minimal specifications. The results of testing the application involving several respondents with an average percentage value of 87.67% are feasible and effective in making this application an educative media. This application is expected to increase public awareness about Indonesia's natural wealth as well as become an interesting and innovative educational tool.

The harsh environmental loads may lead to strength failure in the turbine in an aero-engine. To accurately assess the strength reliability of the turbine under multiple loads, the stress distributions of 41 danger sites of a turbine under thermal, centrifugal, and pneumatic loads were determined by the flow-thermal-solid coupling analysis using ANSYS. Second, based on the flow-thermal-solid coupling analysis and response surface method, the probabilistic analysis model of stress at the danger site was established. And the probabilistic distribution of stress was determined by sampling and hypothesis testing. Finally, the reliability model of the turbine with multi-site damage and failure dependency was established, by which a reliability of 0.99802 was calculated. And the actual reliability of the turbine was 0.99626 determined by the Monte Carlo simulations, which verified the model in precision. The results indicated that the reliability model has a high efficiency and higher precision than the traditional reliability model with failure independence.

El presente artículo analiza los aspectos más significativos, desde un punto de vista léxico semántico y cronológico, de algunas voces presentes en un inventario de bienes dieciochesco de procedencia navarra. El manuscrito fue redactado en el año 1742 y posee un indudable valor, no solo por ser una fuente inédita, sino por contener voces escasamente documentadas. Asimismo, en él se encuentran los posibles primeros registros de algunos vocablos de la centuria ilustrada.
The Causes and Modes of European Disintegration
Authors: Huysmans Martijn , Van Kerckhoven Sven
Published: July 2023

This thematic issue on the causes and modes of European disintegration seeks to answer two main questions: What are the causes of (potential) European disintegration across countries? And what are the actual and potential modes of European disintegration? The articles on the causes of EU disintegration go beyond the immediate causes of Brexit, to date the prime example of European disintegration. They address, for instance, the impact of ignoring the results of referendums on EU treaty changes. The articles demonstrate that the extensively studied proximate causes of Brexit may be different from more long-term drivers of potential disintegration in the UK and other member states. The second question raises a point that has been largely overlooked. Going beyond the growing literature on Brexit, differentiated integration, and non-compliance, the articles on the modes of European disintegration address issues such as (temporary) opt-outs from the Schengen agreement. The thematic issue is innovative not only due to the questions it raises but also by deploying a multi-disciplinary social science perspective. Contributions are quantitative, qualitative, and theoretical from a wide array of social science disciplines. Taken together, the contributions to this thematic issue advance scholarly understanding of European (dis)integration.
“We Kiss Everyone’s Hands to Get a Permanent Job, but Where Is It?”: The Failure of the Social Inclusion Narrative for Refugees
Authors: Svensson Hanna
Published: July 2023

Humanitarian migrants, while required to prove their vulnerability to gain entry to a country of settlement, rapidly become subject to an integration narrative where self‐sufficiency is the primary aim. In the integration narrative, language learning is conceptualised as an individual endeavour that will inevitably lead to employment, while linguistic fluency and social inclusion tend to be presented as the inevitable outcomes of engagement in the labour market. Lack of success is attributed to individual failures and is typically addressed through policies designed to incentivise the individual to try harder. Drawing on a qualitative study involving refugees, language teachers and settlement brokers in New Zealand and Sweden, this article critiques the integration narrative by contrasting it with the voices of those who have sought to conform to the ideal narrative yet failed to reach the idealised outcomes. Using M. M. Bakhtin’s notions of monologue and epic dis‐ courses, it challenges the view of language learning and integration as “a test of virtuosity” (Sullivan, 2012, p. 49) which the deserving are guaranteed to pass. Instead, it argues that a range of exclusions prevents successful language acquisition, labour market entry, and social engagement and that incentives, while potentially increasing the individual’s desire for success, are insufficient unless structural inequalities are addressed.

Karar verme kavramı, hedeflere ve amaçlara ulaşılabilmesi için var olan alternatiflerden birisinin seçilmesi işlemidir. Günümüzde sıkça karşılaşılan ve birçok kriterin birlikte değerlendirilmesini gerektiren problemler ise bir seçim problemleridir. Çok kriterli karar verme teknikleri ise bu seçme problemlerine uygun çözüm önerileri sunmaktadır. Türkiye’deki Üniversite Hastaneleri ile sınırlı olan bu çalışmada Hastanelerin hangisinin en ideale yakın olduğunu tespit edilmesi için CRITIC entegreli TOPSIS Yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada en uygun Üniversite Hastanesi seçmek amacıyla 13 (on üç) adet kriter göz önüne alınarak en ideal çözüm tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada kullanılan kriterler ilk önce CRITIC yöntemi ile ağırlıklandırılmış, daha sonra TOPSIS yöntemi ile Üniversite Hastaneleri sıralanırken bu ağırlık değerleri kullanılmıştır. Böylece kriterlerin ağırlıklandırılmasıyla en ideale yakın Üniversite Hastanelerinin belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. En idealden kasıt, Hastanelerin belirlenen kriter ağırlıklarına göre üst sırada yer almasıdır. Çalışma sonucunda en ideale yakın Üniversite Hastanesi U18 (Erciyes Üniversitesi) olmuştur. Daha sonra Üniversite Hastaneleri sırasıyla, U17(Ege Üniversitesi Hastanesi) U19 (Hacettepe Üniversitesi Hastanesi) şeklinde sıralanmaktadır. İdeale yakın olmayan Üniversite Hastaneleri ise sırasıyla, U7 (Bozok Üniversitesi Hastanesi), U8 (Kafkas Üniversitesi Hastanesi) ve U16 (Düzce Üniversitesi Hastanesi) olmuştur.
