Challenges of Diagnosis and Management of Congenital Chylothorax in a Low-Resource Setting: A Case Report
Authors: Ayeni VA , Bitto MI , Ajayi FG , Oni TE , Ezigbo CF
Published: September 2024

Chylothorax is a form of pleural effusion. In the neonate, it may be diagnosed in the antenatal or postnatal period. Congenital forms of chylothorax are due to abnormal development or obstruction of the lymphatic system and may be associated with hydrops foetalis; it may also be idiopathic or associated with chromosomal anomalies. The diagnosis is usually based on biochemical analysis of pleural aspirate, and the interpretation of the biochemical parameters depends on whether the baby is feeding. The treatment involves dietary modification, the use of different types of drugs, chest tube drainage, pleurodesis or some other surgical intervention. There are no clinical trials to document the most effective treatment modality. Intrauterine interventions have been reported in some cases. We report a case of neonatal chylothorax to document the diagnostic challenges and management outcomes in a resource-limited setting.

From Sensations to Contrast, Opposition and Numbers
Authors: Raykowski Wes
Published: September 2024

Language can be deceptively simple in its use yet frustratingly complex in its analysis. Its apparent clarity often masks an inherent complexity, rendering the true meaning of words simultaneously obvious and elusive. This inquiry investigates the multifaceted nature of meaning, encompassing not only language but also forms of expression that do not rely on spoken or written words. Central to this exploration is uncovering the body's role in creating and shaping meaning. The article presents a summary of the sensory schema theory, introduced in the author's previous publications, and examines its application through selected examples. These examples include the notions of scales, opposition, integers, and the number line derived from the sensory schema.
BAAS: Banking as a service brings Industry disruption
Authors: Prashant Bansal
Published: September 2024

Banking as a Service (BaaS) has emerged as a transformative force in the financial sector, challenging traditional banking models and offering innovative solutions. BaaS enables non-financial institutions to integrate banking services into their own products and platforms, leveraging the technology and infrastructure of licensed banks. This disruption has far-reaching implications for both established financial institutions and fintech startups. For traditional banks, BaaS presents an opportunity to expand their reach and generate new revenue streams by partnering with non-financial businesses. By offering their banking services through BaaS platforms, banks can tap into new customer segments and diversify their income sources. However, this also poses challenges, as banks must adapt to the changing competitive landscape and ensure their technology infrastructure can support BaaS offerings. For fintech startups, BaaS provides a cost-effective and efficient way to enter the financial market. By leveraging BaaS solutions, these startups can focus on developing innovative products and services without the need for significant upfront investments in banking infrastructure. This has led to a surge in fintech innovation, with startups offering a wide range of financial products and services, from payments and lending to wealth management. The disruption caused by BaaS is also driving a shift towards open banking, which promotes the sharing of customer data and financial information between banks and third-party providers. This increased transparency and competition is benefiting consumers by providing them with more choice and flexibility in their financial products and services.

Published: September 2024

Pan-Africanism, a socio-political and cultural movement aimed at unifying African nations and people, has played a critical role in shaping the continent's response to global challenges, including climate change. This study explores how Pan-Africanism, cultural resilience, and biodiversity conservation intersect with the urgent issue of climate change. Pan-Africanism, which promotes unity and identity across Africa, is connected to the current need to address environmental problems. Cultural resilience, supported by traditional knowledge, plays a key role in managing resources sustainably and adapting to climate change. By combining these ideas, we can create opportunities for teamwork, sustainable farming, eco-tourism, and climate education. However, this approach also faces challenges, such as varying cultural contexts, limited resources, and balancing development with conservation. Recognizing these challenges and strategically using our strengths can help us use cultural heritage to improve climate resilience and protect biodiversity. This approach aligns with Pan-Africanism's goal of collective progress, providing a guide for societies as they navigate the complexities of climate change while preserving their cultural heritage.
Exploratory study on physicochemical properties of nitazoxanide nanocrystalline suspension obtained by evaporative solvent-antisolvent technique
Authors: Rui Filipe da Conceição Teixeira  , Lucas Antunes Araújo  , Gabriel Lima Barros de Araújo
Published: September 2024

Nitazoxanide (NTZ) is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic drug with low bioavailability due to its poor aqueous solubility, classified as a Biopharmaceutical Classification System (BCS) class II drug. This study aimed to improve the understanding of NTZ nanocrystalline suspensions produced via the solvent-antisolvent technique. NTZ was extracted from commercially available coated tablets and characterized using DSC, TG, UV-Vis, and FTIR, revealing the presence of impurities likely from excipients. Nanocrystalline suspensions were prepared using three different stabilizers (Lecithin, Poloxamer 188, and Tween® 80) and evaluated for particle size distribution (PSD) and polydispersity index (PDI) over a one-week stability study. Poloxamer 188 was the most effective in reducing particle size (934.7 nm), though Lecithin achieved a more favorable PDI (0.289), indicating better particle uniformity. These findings suggest the solvent-antisolvent technique is a promising approach for producing NTZ nanocrystalline suspensions, but further reduction in particle size and exploration of alternative stabilizers are needed to optimize stability and performance.

Published: September 2024

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, account for 31% of all deaths and they represent an urgent public health problem. Early detection of cardiovascular risks mitigated with healthcare support is important in order to reduce future impact caused from these diseases. In this study we investigated the application of machine learning (ML) techniques to enhance earlier detection of cardiovascular risks, by better enabling high-risk individuals to become identified prospectively before they experience large adverse health events. We use the rich dataset available from the Framingham Heart Study (FHS), an extensive longitudinal study spanning several decades, which includes comprehensive information regarding demographic, clinical and lifestyle measures on more than 5,000 participants. Using state of the art machine learning models like logistic regression, random forest, support vector machines (SVM), and Neural Networks we explore complex patterns and relationships between various cardiovascular disease risks. The results demonstrated that the use of machine learning models in general, and with the random forest algorithm in specific, could significantly improve cardiovascular risk prediction to be 87% accurate with AUC-ROC score up to 0.92. From this, it was concluded that age in addition to levels of both cholesterol and blood pressure were some of the most important factors regarding risk for cardiovascular events. The study further highlights the ability of machine learning to assist targeted interventions aimed at high-risk individuals that can contribute towards personalized health care strategies. Use of these data-driven models in clinical practice would help in determining the risk and expected indications which will aid for an advance management of cardiovascular health, thus indirectly reduces morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases. These models will need to be validated across a range of populations in future research, as well as their integration into real-time monitoring systems so that healthcare can become more predictive and feedback-driven.
The Retreat from BIST: Insights into Foreign Portfolio Investment Movements
Authors: Sezgin Alp Özge , Hazar Adalet , Babuşcu Şenol
Published: September 2024

The need for rapid growth and development in developing countries increases the demand for capital. As a result, foreign portfolio investments are of great importance, especially in emerging markets, as they help meet capital needs. However, their ability to move quickly also introduces high volatility to financial markets. This study examines changes in the share of foreign portfolio investors in Borsa Istanbul from 2004 to 2023, aiming to provide long-term insights to market participants. Initially, changes in the foreign portfolio investor ratio over time are graphically analyzed alongside the BIST 100 index and the average interest rate of deposits with a maturity of up to 3 months. These changes are evaluated in the context of both global and local developments. The study then investigates the causal relationship between the foreign portfolio investor ratio and the BIST 100 index using a cointegration test and a causality test based on the VECM model. The findings show a one-way causality from the BIST 100 index to the foreign portfolio investor ratio, indicating that foreign investors' market movements are largely influenced by the performance of the BIST 100, and local market dynamics significantly affect foreign capital inflows.
The Causality Relationship between Credit Default Swaps (CDS) and Portfolio Investments: The Case of Türkiye
Authors: Küçükosman Asiye , Uzun Sümeyye
Published: September 2024

This study examines the causality relationship between portfolio investments and credit default swaps (CDS) in Türkiye. Analysing the dynamics between portfolio investments and CDS premiums, two important variables for financial markets is critical to understanding how risk perception and investment decisions are affected. While portfolio investments are generally considered an indicator of the confidence of foreign investors in the country's economy, CDS premiums are an important risk measure that reflects the country's debt risk and the risk perception of market participants. In this context, examining the relationships between the two variables contributes to the understanding of the effects of investor behavior and risk perception on macroeconomic indicators in financial markets. In the study, the Granger causality test was applied using data from the period 2014Q1-2024Q1. The results obtained show that CDS premiums have a significant and unidirectional causal effect on portfolio investments. Increases in CDS premiums increase investors' risk perception and lead to a decrease in portfolio investments. On the other hand, no causal effect of portfolio investments on CDS premiums was found. These findings emphasize the importance of risk management in terms of portfolio investments in Türkiye and reveal that CDS premiums play a role in investor decisions.
A Study on the Mediating Role of Work-Family Conflict in the Effect of Workload Perception on Professional Burnout of Employees in the Energy Sector
Authors: Koşarsoy Tuba , Özgül Burcu
Published: September 2024

Abstract
Previous research could not yield consistent results concerning the relationship between workload perception and dimensions of professional burnout. The present work examines the mediating role of work-family conflict (WFC) in the relationship between workload perception and the dimensions of professional burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and lack of personal accomplishment). The population of this study consists of employees employed in 21 electricity distribution companies operating in the energy sector in Turkey. 221 usable data were obtained through the survey method. The data were tested with the SmartPLS 4 analysis program. The analysis found a significant positive relationship between workload perception and emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and WFC. However, no significant correlation between workload perception and lack of personal accomplishment could be identified. Moreover, the study results confirmed a significant positive relationship between WFC and the three dimensions of professional burnout. Considering the mediating relationships, it was revealed that WFC plays a complementary partial mediating role in the relationship between workload perception and emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. Likewise, the full mediating role of WFC in the relationship between workload perception and a lack of personal accomplishment was confirmed. This research contributes significantly to literature and practice by showing that lack of personal accomplishment develops when workload perception turns into WFC.

Background: Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the leading diseases causing mortality. It comes in the third rank of common cancer types. It is considered extremely a complicated cancer type since it occurs in highly steroid-responsive and dependent tissues. Many factors are considered to play an important role in the disease progression of PCa, with some functioning at the molecular level. Methodology: After applying the exclusion criteria, 200 patients who underwent proctectomy were included in this study. Following receiving patient consent, blood samples were withdrawn from patients, DNA was extracted, and precise polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification was conducted using specifically designed primers. The resulting amplicons were sequenced and analyzed. Results: The progesterone receptor B (PGRB) DNA from patients showed four distinctive single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at sites 11:101128812, 11:101128924, 11:101128949, and 11:101128986, which altered the amino acid sequences to Y>N, A>D, T>I, and C>R, respectively, compared to control. These SNPs resided in sensitive sites that either affected the control elements or promoted alterations in the protein configuration. This DNA change diminished the PGR gene function and promoted an imbalance in the encoded PGR protein structure and expression. Conclusions: Many factors may play a role in PCa manifestation, with steroids and progesterone initially noted as factors. Many studies have dealt with the hormonal effect on PCa; however, few have ultimately determined the molecular impact on disease progression. The presence of pathogenic SNPs in the enhancing region of the gene may impact the expression level of PGR. High or low expression levels may negatively affect gene function, which can be considered a reliable factor in prostate tumorigenesis.

Published: September 2024

Stakeholders in the education industry in Ekiti State have criticized the unsatisfactory performance of CRS students’ results in external examinations in rural schools. This study examined storytelling methods of teaching, school locations, and students’ academic achievement in Christian Religious Studies (CRS) in Senior Secondary Schools, Ekiti State, South West Nigeria. Research questions and hypotheses were developed for the study. The design adopted for the study was a quasi-experimental research of two groups, that is, one experimental group and one control group. The Senior Secondary School Two (SSS2) students of the Ekiti State public secondary schools formed the population. The schools (rural and urban) for the study were purposively selected from Ekiti South-West Local Government Area of Ekiti State. A total of 159 students participated as the sample for the study. One instrument, ‘Achievement in CRS’ (ATCRS) instrument was used for data collection. The research hypothesis was analyzed using analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Findings from the study revealed no significant difference in the academic achievement of urban and rural students with CRS utilizing storytelling and conventional lecture methods. The study concludes that storytelling is a location friendly teaching method. The recommendations are based on the finding that teachers of CRS in Ekiti State public secondary schools should adopt the storytelling method during the instructional process to enhance students’ academic achievement in both rural and urban schools.

The integration of game-based learning has gained popularity for enhancing cognitive skills such as critical thinking and inference. Interactive tools such as board games nurture engagement and assist in comprehending complex concepts. The Araling Panlipunan curriculum in the Philippines emphasizes critical thinking, making innovative teaching methods essential. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of using the snake and ladder board game in enhancing the inference skills of Grade 7 Emerald students from the Old Cabalan Integrated School (OCABIS) in Araling Panlipunan (Social Studies) during the 2023-2024 academic year. The study employed a convergent parallel approach that included pre-tests, post-tests, and focus group interviews to collect data. Statistical analyses were used to examine the results, including frequency distribution, percentage, mean, Shapiro-Wilk test, Mann–Whitney U test, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and thematic analysis. The results revealed that integrating the snake and ladder board game positively impacted students' critical thinking and inference skills, with post-test scores showing significant improvement as it revealed a notable enhancement in scores, showing a median pre-test score of 8 and a post-test score of 12 (W = 630.000, z = -5.184, p = .000), resulting in a moderate effect size (d = .62). The study also found that the board game strategy was equally effective for male and female students, providing a more engaging learning environment and reducing boredom. Based on these findings, the researchers proposed guidelines for further improving the snake and ladder board game strategy to enhance students’ inference skills.

Published: September 2024

Remediation is crucial for strengthening students’ reading abilities, particularly for novice readers aged six to seven. Basic education practitioners must design intervention approaches that address reading and comprehension educational gaps. In response, this paper analyzed the effectiveness of the Basic Education Remediation Kits (BERKs) in improving the reading skills of struggling novice readers by revealing their reading skill level and revealing significant differences in the pre-test and post-test mean scores. The study employed a Quasi-experimental methodology with One-Group Pre-Test Post-Test Design and used purposive sampling as the sampling technique. The pre-/post-test consisted of two parts: 1) letter sounds and syllables and 2) short story with comprehension questions. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and paired samples t-tests to determine significant differences between the assessment results and the effectiveness of the remediation kit used. Findings revealed an increase in the students’ mean scores following kit implementation. The paired samples t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference between pretest and post-test scores, further affirming its effectiveness. The kit assists novice readers, particularly those in the early stages of literacy; nevertheless, its effectiveness varies according to reading level; thus, the use of a single teaching strategy may not be equally beneficial to all students. The long-term impact of the remediation kit may be evaluated considering aspects such as intervention duration, teaching pedagogy, and demographics. A group of participants with the same reading level may be used to further assess its efficacy.

Published: September 2024

На сучасному етапі розвитку наукової думки з фізичного виховання школярів надзвичайно велика увага приділяється питанням Нової української школи. Мета: виявити сучасні підходи до змісту занять фізичною культурою учнів 1-4 класів. Матеріал і методи. Використано методи: теоретичний аналіз та узагальнення даних наукової та методичної літератури, абстрагування, історичний метод, порівняння. Для дослідження взято актуальну науково-методичну інформацію з проблематики змістового наповнення фізичного виховання у початковій школі. Результати. Реформування фізичного виховання в сучасних умовах покликало фахівців проводити дослідження з вивчення ставлення учителів фізичної культури здебільшого до освітніх змін. Стан здоров’я сучасної молоді викликає суттєве занепокоєння у суспільстві, оскільки простежується постійне погіршення його показників. Така ситуація пов’язана із малорухливим способом життя більшості дітей і підлітків, внаслідок великого навантаження шкільним матеріалом, а також підвищеної зацікавленості сучасними гаджетами, проведенням великої кількості часу сидячи у соціальних мережах та у віртуальних іграх. Формування змісту фізичного виховання повинне враховувати завдання з накопичення різностороннього рухового досвіду. На уроках фізичної культури широко можуть використовуватися засоби волейболу, футболу, баскетболу, гандболу, волейболу, бадмінтону, тенісу та вправи з арсеналу інших ігрових видів спорту. Проведення спортивної гри дає підстави для формування активності самостійності учнів, емоційності та інтенсивності занять. Висновки. Застосування засобів спортивних ігор у фізичному виховання є невід’ємною складовою та потребує широкого науково-методичного обговорення подальших шляхів їхнього застосування в умовах сучасної школи для дітей молодшого шкільного віку. Провідна діяльність для дітей дошкільного віку міститься у застосуванні різноспрямованого змісту ігрової діяльності, яка є основою пізнання, навчання та виховання. Окрім цього відбувається активізація рухового режиму молодших школярів, створюються умови дотримання принципів особистісно-орієнтованого підходу, поліпшення фізичної підготовленості, гармонізації здоров’я, підвищення мотивації тощо.

Формулювання проблеми. Основною задачею сучасної школи є розвиток природних здібностей та обдарувань учнів, формування компетентностей, необхідних для їх соціалізації, розвиток критичного мислення та створення умов для забезпечення гармонійного розвитку. Отже, постає проблема формування в учнів цілісної системи теоретичних відомостей і практичних навичок з різних дисциплін, що дозволить використовувати отримані знання для вирішення проблем сьогодення. Проте шкільні підручники недостатньо враховують знання школярів із суміжних предметів та сучасного життя. Метою статті є створення задач інтегрованого змісту з теми «Теорема Вієта» різного рівня складності з можливістю використання їх у класах різного профілю та під час навчання студентів педагогічних спеціальностей.
Матеріали і методи. У дослідженні використовувалися теоретичні методи – аналіз навчальних програм з математики та освітніх програм педагогічних спеціальностей з математичною складовою, змісту сучасних шкільних підручників, узагальнення власного та передового педагогічного досвіду щодо застосування завдань інтегрованого змісту в освітньому процесі школи і ЗВО; емпіричні – спостереження під час роботи з учнями ЗЗСО на уроках математики і під час позаурочної роботи та студентами педагогічних спеціальностей на заняттях з математичних дисциплін у ЗВО.
Результати. Авторами була розглянута серія задач з теми «Теорема Вієта». Наведено огляд типових задач, які зустрічаються у шкільному курсі математики і у математичних курсах педагогічних спеціальностей ЗВО. Запропоновано приклади завдань краєзнавчого аспекту, які зорієнтують вчителя враховувати історико-географічну місцеву тематику чи профіль вивчення математики при створенні схожих завдань. Показано використання теореми Вієта у геометрії та інших розділах алгебри, у тому числі і для розв’язування завдань практичного змісту. Наведені задачі високого рівня складності, які доцільно розглянути з учнями у позаурочний час при організації науково-дослідницької чи проєктної роботи.
Висновки. Створення серії задач інтегрованого змісту з теми «Теорема Вієта» може бути корисним досвідом для молодих вчителів, котрі викладають математику у класах різного профілю, та студентів фізико-математичних факультетів.

There was  a possible association between  certain infection  and the  propensity  to develop  nocturnal enuresis  including intestinal  helminthes infection. Prospective study  included (100)  randomly  selected children  aged range  (6-12) years from both sex, have been acquired from primary schools in the center of Al-Kut city. The children were examined for    E.vermicularis infection by microscopic examination .Total positivity rate of Enterobiasis among children from 6 -12 years was 14% & the number of positive sample were 14 out of 100 child examined .37 (16.2%) were males and 63 (12.6%) were females..Males had a slightly higher prevalence than females However, difference was non-Significance (NS) P>0.05. The results showed the highest prevalence (28.57 %)in the group age 6 years ,  while the lower infection rate was found in the group age  10-12 years (0%), The statistical analysis showed significant differences at the level of 0.05 between the age groups. E. vermicularis is one of the most common intestinal helminthes with nocturnal enuresis  among  children  in  Al-Kut city.,  there are no significant  differences (NS) P>0.05 between males and females for Enterobius vermicularis infection and nocturnal enuresis.
Investigating the MicroRNA 10b Regulatory Network: A Bioinformatic Approach to Transcription Factor Binding and Cancer Implications.
Authors: Abdal Rhida Muna
Published: September 2024

miR-10b, that stands for microRNA 10 in bovine serum protein refers to a subgroup of small molecules belonging to the body especially involved in physiological processes with regard cancers initiation and progression as well cellular differentiation. An understanding of the regulation miR-10b along with identification of its corresponding transcription factors (TFs) that bind to the so-called mirR-10b Regulated-DNA Sequence (MRDS) as well discovering potential targets serves a powerful tool not only in elucidation but also pharmacological arsenal targeting miRNAs. In this work, two bioinformatics databases (JASPAR and PROMO) were used to suggest the putative TFs that can interact with miR-10b MRDS. Most interestingly, among the set of TFs common to both databases were a number have previously associated with histone modification. Since the function of miR-10b is well known, we focused only on TFs with documented associations to regulation by this particular miRNA. These TFs were E2F1, P53, SP1 and NFKB. In an attempt to investigate the regulatory network of TFs involved TFs associated with miR-10b, STRING database was utilized to study the interactions among the identified TFs and their functional enrichments. Through this analysis, we found important Gene Ontology terms and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathways linked with different kinds of cancer, the transcriptional regulation, and gene expression. This study aims to provide an inclusive analysis of TFs that control miR-10b by applying bioinformatics predictions and validate these findings over existing literature evidence. This method will deepen our knowledge towards miR-10b regulatory network and its implications in cancer biology and eventually discovering new treatment interventions.
Economic Efficiency Of Pineapple Farming Using The Stochastic Frontier Approach
Authors: Adhiana  , Ariani Rita , Tanjung Ade Firmansyah
Published: September 2024

Central Aceh Regency is the province's largest pineapple producer. However, pineapple farming is facing the problem of low pineapple productivity and input use efficiency. The research aims to analyze the factors that influence the level of technical efficiency and the allocative and economic efficiency of pineapple farming in Pegasing District, Central Aceh Regency. The sampling process employs the stratified random sampling method. The total sample consisted of 62 respondents. The stochastic frontier is used. The research revealed that the production factor of land area, with a variable coefficient value of 0.0312, seeds with a variable coefficient value of seeds of 1.0152, and pesticides with a coefficient value of 5.6239, significantly influenced pineapple farming production in Pegasing District. Conversely, the labor factor, with a coefficient value of 0.0408, and fertilizer, with a coefficient value of 0.1198, had an insignificant effect. The use of inputs in pineapple farming has reached technical efficiency values, but there are ​still opportunities to increase optimally. However, neither allocatively nor economically have we achieved efficiency. The technical efficiency value for pineapple farmers was 0.80, the allocative efficiency value reached 0.427, and the economic efficiency was 0.351. Farmers, as actors in farming activities, need to pay attention to the use of the right combination of inputs; economic efficiency will be obtained from the use of production factors so that pineapple farmers' income will increase.

Authors: Demirdağ Mehmet , Yorulmaz Murat
Published: September 2024

Bu çalışma, tersanelerde gerçekleştirilen gemi raspa operasyonlarındaki iş sağlığı ve güvenliği risklerini kapsamlı bir şekilde değerlendirmeyi ve bu risklerin FMEA (Hata Türleri ve Etkileri Analizi) yöntemi ile analiz edilmesini hedeflemektedir. Raspa operasyonları, gemi yüzeylerinin temizlenmesi amacıyla yaygın olarak kullanılan bir yöntemdir; ancak bu süreçte çalışanlar birçok tehlikeyle karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. FMEA yöntemi, bu operasyonlardaki risklerin detaylı bir şekilde analiz edilmesine olanak tanır ve her bir risk faktörünü (gürültü, toz, kimyasal maddeler, ergonomik sorunlar) olasılık, şiddet ve fark edilebilirlik açısından sıralar. Çalışmanın ana odak noktası, bu risklerin sadece tanımlanması değil, aynı zamanda nasıl önceliklendirileceği ve hangi önlemlerin alınması gerektiği üzerine somut stratejiler sunmaktır. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre, en önemli riskler arasında yüksek gürültü seviyeleri, metal tozları ve boya partiküllerine maruz kalma, kimyasal çözücülerle temas ve ergonomik sorunlar yer almaktadır. Özellikle gürültüye uzun süre maruz kalmak işitme kaybına, kimyasal maddelerle temas ise solunum yolu ve cilt hastalıklarına yol açabilir. Bu risklerin minimize edilmesi için Kişisel Koruyucu Ekipmanlar (KKE) kullanımı, ergonomik düzenlemelerin yapılması ve periyodik sağlık kontrollerinin gerçekleştirilmesi önerilmektedir. FMEA yöntemi, bu süreçte iş kazalarını ve meslek hastalıklarını önlemede önemli bir araç olarak değerlendirilmiş olup, iş güvenliği yönetiminde sürdürülebilir iyileştirmeler sunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, FMEA ile yapılan bu analiz, tersanelerdeki iş güvenliği risklerinin yönetilmesinde etkili bir yol haritası sunmakta ve iş güvenliğini artırma potansiyeline sahip stratejiler geliştirilmesine katkı sağlamaktadır.

Uncovering Core Mechanisms of Selfhood: Novel Methods and Implications for Modelling Selfless States
Authors: Bunting Amber , Reichle Erik , Polito Vince
Published: September 2024

This paper introduces a method for identifying minimally sufficient neurocognitive mechanisms of selfhood. It focuses on extracting context-independent mechanisms from computational models and neuroimaging data of states with disrupted self-specifying processing. A proof-of-concept is demonstrated using active inference models of meditative non-dual awareness and psychedelic ego-dissolution. The resulting predictions suggest that the hierarchical nature of neural systems may be a core mechanism for generating selfhood. The hypothesis posits that flattening the hierarchy in a system allows one to experience qualia without the psychological sense that they are given to a subject. This hypothesis is then implemented in a current computational model of selfhood (Reichle & Boag, 2024). The paper provides two insights: (1) how to deduce core mechanisms of selfhood, and (2) specific guidance on which parameters to modify in computational models of consciousness or selfhood to simulate selflessness.
