Response of L. Scoparium and K. Robusta to biosolids and dairy shed effluent application in a low fertility soil
Authors: Lense Obed Nedjo , Mamun Shamim Al
Published: March 2024

Biosolids and Dairy Shed Effluent (DSE) can contain high concentrations of plant nutrients, making them potential resources for enhancing forest tree species growth and soil fertility. This study aimed to investigate the effects of biosolids and DSE application on the growth and nutrient uptake of Leptospermum scoparium and Kunzea robusta, while also considering the potential accumulation of contaminants. The results demonstrated that amending low-fertility soil with 2600 kg N ha-1 of biosolids and 200 kg N ha-1 of DSE positively influenced the growth of both L. scoparium and K. robusta. This improvement was evident through increased biomass production and enhanced uptake of essential elements such as calcium (Ca), potassium (K), and sulfur (S). Notably, L. scoparium exhibited superior growth when combined with DSE, while both species showed similar positive responses when combined with biosolids. However, it should be noted that the application of biosolids resulted in elevated concentrations of certain trace elements in the plants, whereas DSE did not. These trace elements included cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), and zinc (Zn). Despite the increase, the levels of these elements did not exceed unacceptable thresholds. Considering the potential influence of biosolids on plant rhizodeposition, it is recommended that future studies investigate the interactions between plant roots and microbes, particularly in relation to plant element uptake. This line of research would further enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms involved. In conclusion, the findings suggest that the application of biosolids and DSE can effectively improve forest tree growth and nutrient uptake. However, careful management is necessary to mitigate the potential accumulation of trace elements. These results provide valuable insights for optimizing the use of biosolids and DSE in forestry practices, with potential economic and environmental benefits.

Published: March 2024

Despite its wide application in industry, the effective use of glycerol growing volumes is very relevant, since «technical» glycerol with an acceptably high content of main substance can become an available and promising raw material for obtaining valuable chemical compounds, in particular cyclic glycerol ketals. Glycerol reaction with acetone in the presence of acid-modified clinoptilolite (CLI) as a catalyst for formation of cyclic ketals was studied. It was found that technology of acid modification doesn’t significantly affect the acidity of catalyst. For samples prepared by first method, with increasing time of acid modification, pH suspensions increase, namely the acidity decreases. As for catalysts prepared by second method, no such tendency is observed. The influence of modification time CLI samples has different effects on activity of prepared catalysts with different diameters. For CLI with a larger diameter (dav. = 1.5 mm) a minimum of activity is observed with increasing modification time (τH), namely the dependence of glycerol conversion (ZGL) on τH is extreme. For CLI of smaller dav. (0.05 mm and 0.75 mm) change of this factor has little effect on their activity. Comparing catalysts with same τH, but different dav. and method of preparation, it can be noted that the activity of catalyst with a higher d av. is higher than in samples with less. At the same time, two catalysts of same dav. (0.05 mm), but different methods of preparation practically don’t differ in their catalytic properties. CLI belongs to sorbents with a heterogeneous porous structure, catalytic activity of which depends on acidity, pore structure, and availability for diffusion of reagents. By method of planning two series experiments, according to a complete three-factor analysis, adequate models were obtained, according to which the pH of suspension and d av. are factors that have little influence on response function – ZGL. A linear (sympathetic) dependence is observed between glycerol conversion and initial rate of its loss, which is characteristic for most «families» of studied acid-modified CLI samples.
LOW TEMPERATURE ANALYTICAL CLOUD POINT EXTRACTION. 1: PROTOLYTIC PROPERTIES OF ACIDIC EXTRACTION INITIATORS IN ORGANIZED MEDIA
Authors: Zhukovetska O. M. , Guzenko O. M. , Snigur D. V.
Published: March 2024

Cloud point extraction is a powerful tool for the analytical preconcentration of trace amounts of analytes. The standard cloud point extraction procedure requires prolonged heating of the solution, which is not always appropriate in the case of thermally unstable analytes or analytical forms and significantly limits the capabilities of the method. One of the ways to modify cloud point extraction is to find approaches to intensifying the process of analytical concentration. The main disadvantage of cloud point extraction is the need for thermal, ultrasonic, infrared or any other initiation of the formation of the surfactant-rich phase. The difficulty lies in the fact that such influence on the system is not always appropriate and possible, and can also negatively affect the formation of the target analytical form. The purpose of this work is to search for new initiators of cloud point extraction and justify the possibility of their analytical use. In the current paper, the ionization constants (pKa) of some cloud point extraction initiators such as aromatic carboxylic acids (benzoic, 4-chlorobenzoic, 3-nitrobenzoic, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic, o-, m-, p-toluic and salicylic acids) in water and Triton X-100 micellar solutions at various concentrations of surfactant in the studied systems have been determined by the potentiometric titration method. It was found that the values of pKa of aromatic carboxylic acids (benzoic, 4-chlorobenzoic, 3-nitrobenzoic, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic, o-, m-, p-toluic and salicylic acids) in water and Triton X‑100 micellar solutions naturally increase with increasing concentration of surfactant in the system. It is shown that the nature and the physico-chemical properties of the environment influence the nature and degree of change in the acid-base properties of the studied aromatic carboxylic acids (benzoic, 4-chlorobenzoic, 3-nitrobenzoic, 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic, o-, m-, p-toluic and salicylic acids). Criteria for the selection of cloud point extraction initiators are proposed, which allow analytical concentration to be carried out at room temperature.

Published: March 2024

One of the important tasks of modern pharmacology and pharmacy is the search and development of safe and effective medicines. On the pharmaceutical market of Ukraine, there is a trend of development of organic chemistry and the emergence of new synthetic medicines. However, the search and in-depth study of plant raw materials remains relevant, as medicinal products based on it show low toxicity and have high indicators of biological activity.
According to literature sources, ripe fruits of Ficus carica L. of the Moraceae family are a promising object for further research. It is known that the fruits of Ficus carica L. contain a whole complex of biologically active substances that provide them with antioxidant, antiinflammatory, choleretic and antispasmodic effects.
The aim of the work was to study the qualitative composition and quantitative content of biologically active compounds of phenolic nature in ripe fruits of Ficus carica L. by the method of high-performance liquid chromatography.
The fruits of Ficus carica L. were extracted under different conditions and methods of extraction. Various concentrations of the water-ethanol mixture (30%, 50% and 70%) were chosen as the solvent, with a ratio of solvent to plant material of 1:8 and grinding of the plant material to a size of 5 mm.
A series of extractions was carried out in a Soxhlet apparatus and by the maceration method until the target product was completely extracted. The main criterion for evaluating the optimal conditions and extraction method was the quantitative content of phenolic compounds, which was determined spectrophotometrically according to the Folin-Chocalteu method in terms of gallic acid.
It was established that the optimal conditions that ensure the maximum extraction of polyphenolic compounds from plant raw materials are the use of 70% alcohol as an extractant when using both extraction methods. It has also been proven that higher rates of target product yield are observed when extracted in a Soxhlet apparatus.
Using the method of high-performance liquid chromatography at a wavelength of 225 nm, it was established that the extract of Ficus carica L. contains such groups of phenolic compounds as: phenolic acids (101.4 μg/ml), catechins (98.08 μg/ml), catechin-like substances (599.29 μg/ml), flavanols (1.07 μg/ml), flavonol-like (43.10 μg/ml), flavonoids (99.15 μg/ml). The total content of polyphenolic compounds in the studied sample of the extract from the fruits of Ficus carica L. is 1420.28 μg/ml, where the share of unidentified compounds is 478.19 μg/ml.

Relevance. The study investigates the problem of stress-strain state and stability of porous functional-gradient size-dependent cylindrical panels. The composition and properties of alloys can differ and significantly affect the performance characteristics of products. Therefore, the research of material properties is relevant and contributes to the creation of new types of products demanded by the oil and gas industry. Aim. Development of a new model and creation of accurate methods for analyzing the stress-strain state of porous functional-gradient size-dependent micro/nano cylindrical panels taking into account geometrical nonlinearity. Methods. The method of variational iterations – the extended Kantorovich method is used to analyze the stress-strain state of cylindrical panels. The validity of the results is ensured by comparing the solutions obtained by the method of variational iterations in the first and second approximations with the solutions obtained by the authors, by the Bubnov–Galerkin method in higher approximations, by the finite difference method of the second order of accuracy, for which their convergence is investigated depending on a number of partitions of the integration area in the finite difference method and the number of series terms in the expansion of the basic functions in the Bubnov–Galerkin method. The results obtained by these methods are compared with the solutions obtained by other authors. It should be noted that the solutions obtained by the method of variational iterations for bending of functionally graded cylindrical panels under the action of transverse uniformly distributed load can be considered accurate. Results and conclusions. The authors have constructed the model of porous functional-gradient size-dependent cylindrical panels. Its use will allow studying the properties of alloys for producing drill pipes. The influence of material porosity type, porosity index, functional-gradient index, boundary conditions, size-dependent parameter, curvature parameters on the stress-strain state of cylindrical panels was analyzed using the developed method of variational iterations.

Published: March 2024

Relevance. The need to obtain experimental data on dependence of thermoviscosimetric properties of the examined borosilicate glasses on temperature, in order to solve the problem of developing a low-melting composition of borosilicate glass for a small-scale melter designed by Mayak Production Association. Aim. To get the most complete characterization of the glasses under study using thermoviscometric measurements. Methods. Mathematical modelling, simplex-lattice design. Results and conclusions. One of the most effective methods of experiment planning, which allows, with a relatively small number of experiments, obtaining a mathematical model reflecting the dependence of the studied property of the mixture on the content of components in it, is the simplex experiment planning method. To simplify the solution of such a task, a group or groups of components are usually distinguished, in which the ratio of the mass fraction of the components does not change. In this article, three groups of components are taken – simulators of high-level radioactive waste, sodium and boron oxides, and glass frit. The authors have identified the most promising area, where the mass fraction of glass frit is from 67.5 to 75%, the mass fraction of sodium and boron is from 25 to 32.5% and the mass fraction of high-level waste components is from 0 to 20%. The paper presents the results of thermoviscometric measurements of 15 melts of low-melting borosilicate glasses of different compositions at temperatures ranging from 700 to 1,200°C. Using simplex-based mathematical models of experiment planning, domains of dependence of thermoviscosimetric characteristics of glass melts on their compositions were created. The authors identified the compositions of glass melts that are found within the viscosity limits determined as allowable for glass melt discharge during operation of the removable small-scale melter of Mayak Production Association design.

Published: March 2024

Sexual and gender minority (SGM) individuals have unique healthcare needs yet frequently encounter negative healthcare experiences. These negative encounters with the healthcare system may lead to SGM individuals delaying or avoiding healthcare, which may exacerbate health disparities. We sought to qualitatively examine the healthcare experiences of SGM adults to better understand how SGM adults define SGM-affirming healthcare experiences. We also aimed to add to the literature by asking SGM participants about their future aging and healthcare concerns such as family involvement in medical decisions and end-of-life care. Nineteen semistructured individual interviews were conducted with SGM adults to gather information about the process of finding an SGM-affirming provider, coming out in a medical setting, the components of affirming care, the results of affirming care, the components of nonaffirming care, the consequences of nonaffirming experiences, and aging concerns regarding healthcare. A thematic analysis approach was used to analyze interview data. Results showed unique insights into the techniques used to find SGM-affirming providers and what SGM adults hope for in their healthcare encounters. This qualitative study builds on a body of literature that has documented significant disparities in healthcare access and quality for SGM individuals. The results of this study highlight important aspects of SGM-affirming care, outline understudied healthcare concerns for SGM people, and may guide healthcare providers in improving the quality-of-care experiences for their SGM patients.
Parental Alienation—What Do We Know, and What Do We (Urgently) Need to Know? A Narrative Review
Authors: Hine Benjamin A.
Published: March 2024

Research on behavior seeking to disrupt, deny, or negatively impact the parent–child relationship, sometimes labeled as parental alienation (PA), has burgeoned in recent years. Despite this proliferation, the theoretical and practical conceptualization of PA is still a highly controversial topic, not helped by the potential outpacing of academic knowledge on PA in relation to its application in socio-legal and clinical contexts. Confusion and controversy persist despite several recent reviews seeking to provide clarity on different areas of PA-related discourse (e.g., its effect on alienated children). The current narrative review, therefore, sought to synthesize learnings from those reviews (most of which were published between 2020 and 2022), with subsequently published work, in the most comprehensive and contemporaneous overview of PA to date. As a narrative review, there were no specific inclusion criteria, other than a limitation to English manuscripts and literature from the last 10 years. Snowballing was also utilized, whereby reference lists were used to identify further papers for inclusion. The resulting review outlines current understandings of (a) the key areas of controversy relating to PA, including how it is defined, its use in family court proceedings, and recommendations on intervention; (b) how PA is enacted, by whom, and in what contexts; and (c) how PA impacts on parents, children, and other family members. Crucially, urgent recommendations for further research directions are then made, particularly in relation to legal applications and therapeutic intervention.
Advancing Nursing Science: Deriving a Middle-Range Theory for System-Level Communication Research in Complex Hospital Environments
Authors: Brittain Angela C. , Carrington Jane M.
Published: March 2024

Background:Millions of injuries and deaths occur yearly from preventable errors, despite interventions applied at the point of care. Although evidence suggests that system-level factors are responsible for hospital system health and patient safety, research has largely not accounted for hospital complexity. Prior to the authors’ research regarding the communication of system-level events that influence hospital system health and patient safety, no nursing-specific communication theories that accounted for hospital complexity were identified. However, theory-guided research holds the potential to boost scientific knowledge through the provision of a robust foundational understanding of phenomena.Purpose:The purpose of this article is to discuss the concept derivation used to create a middle-range theory for the guidance of research involving system-level communication in complex healthcare environments as it relates to hospital system health and patient safety.Methods:Concept derivation as described by Walker & Avant (2018) was conducted using parent concepts from the Effective Nurse-to-Nurse Communication Framework, Symbolic Interactionism, Information Theory, Gerbner’s Communication Model, and Complexity Theory.Results:Authentication of the derivedEffective System-to-System Communication Theory(ESSCT) was confirmed through identification of coherent relationships between the concepts and conceptual statements, alignment with the nursing metaparadigm, and peer review by a subject matter expert from the nursing discipline. Additionally, research revealed an overall congruency between the research findings and the ESSCT’s theoretical statements.Implications:The current healthcare climate necessitates that research involving communication be optimized by a germane theoretical underpinning that accounts for hospital complexity. The authors contend that the use of the derived theory may assist such endeavors.
Migration of the population of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the country’s prospects for joining the EU
Authors: Gadzhimuradova Gyulnara , Rusu Svetlana
Published: March 2024

The Republic of Moldova is a small country that has recently become a labour resource donor to Russia and OECD countries due to declining living standards, economic issues, lack of social guarantees, and prospects within the country. The article analyses the consequences of citizen emigration for Moldova, focusing on its impact on demographics, socio-economic conditions, and the labour market, since 2014 when Moldova signed an agreement on a visa-free regime with the European Union and many residents of the country were able to freely cross the border and go to European Union countries in order to work. At the same time, special emphasis is placed in the article on the demographic problems that are currently being observed in the country. The authors note that Moldova's accession to the EU entails a demographic crisis due to the fact that young, educated and able-bodied people leave the country, fewer children are born in Moldova every year, the death rate in the country exceeds the birth rate, and the number of marriages is equated to the number of divorces. On the one hand, joining the EU will open up opportunities and broad horizons for the citizens of the Republic of Moldova, but on the other hand, the same problems will remain, and therefore, will people want to develop and live in their country? In their study, the authors rely on statistical and sociological data, as well as analytical materials from the Republic of Moldova, OECD countries, UNHCR, etc.
Formation of all-Russian civil identity in the context of regional elites' activities (on the materials of the North Caucasus)
Authors: Salgiriev Ali
Published: March 2024

The general socio-political situation in the region is analyzed, the centrifugal and centripetal forces that determine the very nature of politics in the region through the prism of ethnic and civic forms of identity are considered. The emergence of new points of ethnopolitical and ethno-religious tension, chauvinistic tendencies, and anti-Semitic sentiments demonstrate a fairly high level of conflict potential and the severity of nationalist manifestations in the region. Such conflict behavior is most often provoked from the outside, including through the use of modern information resources, social networks, using manipulative technologies that have an impact on the masses. These processes indicate the existence of socio-cultural and religious grounds for the growth of discriminatory rhetoric and clashes. The study of these problems is an urgent scientific task in the context of transformation and transit of local identity features. The article also analyzes various forms and approaches of identity formation in the North Caucasus, highlights common and special factors, contradictions in the development of general civil attitudes. The national composition is considered, the role of regional actors in the political management and development of the region is highlighted separately. These issues carry elements of novelty and relevance. The work uses specialized political science techniques: the method of analyzing a specific situation - case-study, secondary analysis of sociological research data. Along with private scientific methods and approaches, general scientific methods and approaches are also used in the study: historical and philosophical methods and approaches (dialectics, the principle of historicism), the system integrative method, comparative studies. In conclusion, recommendations are presented aimed at solving the problems of forming the civil identity of the peoples of the North Caucasus, through the transition of ethnic forms of identity to all-Russian ones.

Married life being one of the new levels of a life that brings some differences to some people. The concept of division of roles in the household is often misunderstood by some groups in society. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out several studies in this regard. The study with the object of discussion “Susahnya Jadi Perempuan Part 2 Mata Najwa” aims to theoretically prove the phenomenon of gender inequality experienced in households. To achieve this goal, we use a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. The dialogues uttered by the speakers were also reviewed through pragmatic theory and resulted in the discovery of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary speech acts in the object. Through the application of gender inequality theory to objects, it was found that there are two forms of inequality that occur in households, namely workload or double burden, and stereotypes that include women”s beauty standards, men’s participation in family planning programs, and men’s obligations in the household .
COPYRIGHT ISSUE IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE APPLICATIONS OF SMART PRODUCTION AND AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
Authors:   Master of Laws, University of California, Los Angeles, CA, United States, Alparslan Gulde
Published: March 2024

Background: In recent years, the use of artificial intelligence in the field of production and design has increased. As a result, in smart production and autonomous systems, the concepts of copyright and rights ownership on the works produced have become increasingly complex. In addition, there is no sufficient legal regulation regarding the rights of the software side of the system, the content providers and the commercial parties with whom they have agreements, in the productions made by autonomous systems through artificial intelligence software. In addition to the ownership of the work, the copyright of the elements in the content of the work and those who produce these elements also emerge as an important problem in productions made with artificial intelligence. Purpose of Study: In this study, it is aimed to examine the copyright issue in artificial intelligence applications of smart production and autonomous systems. Sources of Evidence: In the research, a literature review was conducted and semiotic analysis and content analysis were conducted based on academic studies. According to the results obtained, analyzes were made regarding the deficiencies in copyright and the main problems arising from field applications in smart production and autonomous systems made through artificial intelligence. Main Argument: The main argument of the research is that copyright is an important problem in both the short and long term in smart production and autonomous systems produced through artificial intelligence. Conclusions: Although DSM Directive 2019/790/EU, which was issued in 2016 and came into force in 2019, regulates digital copyrights, there are serious deficiencies regarding the ownership of the system or work and the legal regulations regarding smart productions and autonomous systems produced through artificial intelligence. While DSM Directive 2019/790/EU targets a uniform digital market, the copyright issue in artificial intelligence applications shows that this regulation is also inadequate. Regarding the AI Act, there is not yet sufficient regulation or implementation data regarding copyrights. The United States Copyright Office published in 2023 points out similar deficiencies in artificial intelligence and copyrights. Existing copyright regulations are insufficient today, especially for smart products produced by autonomous systems. One of the most important sources of the problem is that the work, its ownership, the types of work, and the commercial and moral values of the work are not fully defined. For a solution, comprehensive and advanced studies are needed regarding the copyrights of artificial intelligence.
Defining Immersive Learning
Authors: Motley Phillip , Archer-Kuhn Beth , Dishke Hondzel Catharine , Dobbs-Oates Jennifer , Eady Michelle , Seeley Janel , Tyrrell Rosemary
Published: March 2024

Immersive learning practices (ILPs) in higher education are multidisciplinary in nature and varied in levels of integration into the student learning process. They appear in a variety of higher education programs such as teacher education, social work, law, and health sciences, and in practices such as service-learning, study away, internships, and foreign-language instruction. Based on observations of teaching and data from an open-ended survey and semi-structured interviews with post-secondary educators from three different countries, this study theorizes that immersive learning practices are composed of six distinct underlying theoretical components that work in combination. These six components can be used to describe, define, compare, and design different types of structured ILPs. This study suggests that ILPs are pedagogically distinct from other forms of engaged and experiential learning.

Purpose-This study aims to reveal the effects of planned obsolescence application types perceived by consumers on consumer satisfaction and subsequent consumer behavior. Design/methodology/approach –Research data were collected by online questionnaire method. The snowball sampling method was used in the research. Smart PLS structural equation modeling program was used to analyze the obtained data. The research model, created based on the literature research, was tested with structural equation modeling analysis. Findings-Structural equation modeling analysis results show that perceived technological obsolescence has a positive effect on satisfaction, while perceived psychological obsolescence has a negative effect on satisfaction. Perceived quality obsolescence did not have a significant effect on satisfaction. Satisfaction has a positive effect on repurchase intention and positive word of mouth. On the other hand, it was found that satisfaction had a negative effect on regret and negative word of mouthDiscussion-According to the research results, the significant effect of perceived technological obsolescence on satisfaction can be interpreted as consumers expecting technological innovation from smartphone manufacturers. The negative effect of perceived psychological obsolescence on satisfaction can be interpreted as supporting psychological obsolescence through advertising and marketing efforts, creating dissatisfaction in consumers. Therefore, businesses should be careful in advertising and marketing efforts to avoid consumer dissatisfaction. In this sense, it should not be forgotten that satisfaction will negative impact regret and negative word-of-mouth communication.

Amaç –Son zamanlarda tedarik zinciri faaliyetlerini bünyesinde barındıran işletmelerin gündem maddesi haline gelen “çevreye duyarlılık” anlayışı, artan küresel iklim krizlerinde bilinçlenmeyi ve önlem almayı gerektirdiğinden, tedarik zinciri operasyonlarının çevresel boyutuna odaklanan yeşil tedarikçi seçim problemine etki eden faktörleri önceliklendirmekgerekmektedirBu doğrultuda bu çalışmanın amacı plastik sanayisinde üretim yapan bir şirketin yeşil tedarikçilerden satın alma kararlarında belirleyici olan kriterlerin Sezgisel Bulanık DEMATEL yöntemi ile önceliklendirilmesidir.Yöntem –Doğayı ve insan algılarını gerçeğe daha yakın bir şekilde modelleyebilen Bulanık Mantık ve özellikle firmaların yeşil tedarik seçimi ile ilişkili hedeflerini gerçekleştirmek için yapacakları seçim veya sıralama çalışmalarında kullanılan Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) Yöntemleri incelenerekSezgisel Bulanık DEMATEL yöntemi seçilmiştir. Analize konu olan tedarikçi seçim kriterleri,literatürde yer alan hem klasik hem de yeşil tedarikçi seçim kriterleri incelenerek kullanılma sıklığına göre belirlenmiştir. Bu kapsamda şirketin satın alma departmanından üç kişilik uzman grubun on sekiz adet yeşil tedarikçi seçim kriteriyle alternatif altı şirketi değerlendirmeleri sağlanmıştır. Bulgular –Yeşil tedarikçi seçim kriterleri neden-sonuç grubuna göre sınıflandırılmış, aralarındaki etkileşim derecesi tespit edilmiştir. (D-R) değerinin en büyük değeri bu kriterde alması nedeniyle yeşil tedarikçi seçiminde en önemli kriterin “Fiyat/Maliyet” olduğu görülmüştür.Tartışma –Yöneticilerin yeşil tedarikçi seçim listelerini oluşturmaları için bir çerçeve geliştirilmiştir. Belirlenen kriterler ve öncelikler; gelişen teknolojiler, pazar eğilimleri veya düzenleyici çerçeveler nedeniyle zaman içinde değişebilir. Bu sınırlamaları gidermek ve gelecekteki araştırmaları geliştirmek için analizleregüncel kriterlerindahil edilmesi gereklidir.Güncel olan ise çevreye duyarlı olan kriterlerin kullanımıdır.Çalışmada çevreye duyarlı kriterler kullanıldığında klasik tedarikçi seçim problemlerinin çoğunda olduğu gibi “Fiyat/Maliyet”kriterinin önem düzeyinin en yüksek olarakelde edilmiş olması, çevreye duyarlı birsisteme geçiş aşamasında anlaşılabilirdir.Etki faktörü açısından ise “Kalite” kriteri en etkilikriter olarak belirlenmiştir.Sezgisel Bulanık DEMATEL yöntemi ile yeşil tedarikçi seçim probleminin pratikte ele alınması maliyetinönemsenmesive kaliteden ödünverilmeden yapılması durumunda uygulanabilirgörünmektedir

Amaç –Çalışmanın amacı, örgütlerde inovasyon ve örgütsel öğrenme ilişkisinde yapay zekâ kaygısının rolünü araştırmaktır. Yenilikçilik kültürünün gelişmediği örgütler, faaliyet gösterdikleri sektörde ön safhalarda yer alamazlar. Bu sebeple, örgütlerde inovasyon ve örgütsel öğrenme birbirinin tamamlayıcısı olabilmektedir. Bunun yanı sıra son yıllarda inovasyonla birlikte yapay zekâ kavramının ön plana çıkması ve örgütlerde iş yapış şekillerinde değişimi yaratması da önem arz etmektedir. Yöntem –Araştırma, alan araştırması yoluyla elde edilen verilerin nicel analiz yöntemleriyle değerlendirilmesi şeklinde uygulanmıştır. Araştırmanın evreni,Kuzey Kıbrıs Türk Cumhuriyeti, Lefkoşa’da faaliyet gösteren özel hastane çalışanlarıdır. Örneklem, biri diş hastanesi olmak üzere, iki özel hastanede 490 çalışandan oluşmaktadır. Veriler, yüz yüze anket yöntemiyle toplanmıştır. Verilerin normal dağılım analizi için normallik testi,ölçeklerin iç tutarlılığını ölçmek amacıyla güvenilirlik testi,değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin tespiti için; Pearson korelasyon testi, aracılık ve düzenleyicilik rol testleri için hiyerarşik regresyon testi kullanılmıştır.Bulgular –Araştırma verileri, bir paket programında analiz edilmiş ve %95 güven düzeyi ile çalışılmıştır. Oluşturulan beş hipotez de analiz sonuçlarına göre kabul edilmiştir. Örgütsel inovasyonun, örgütsel öğrenme üzerinde pozitif yönlü ve anlamlı etkisinin varlığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca örgütselinovasyonun yapay zekâ kaygısı üzerinde negatif etkisi belirlenmektedir. Yapay zekâ kaygısıyla örgütsel öğrenme arasında negatif yönlü ilişki saptanmaktadır. Son olarak, örgütsel inovasyon örgütsel öğrenme ilişkisinde yapay zekâ kaygısının hem aracı hem de düzenleyici etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir.Tartışma –Araştırmanın sonuçları literatür ile örtüşmektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda, örgütsel inovasyonun öğrenme üzerindeki etkisi bulunmaktadır. Örgütlerde yenilikçi bakış açısıyla birlikte kullanılmaya başlanan yapay zekâ uygulamaları, çalışanlarda bazı kaygılara yol açabilmektedir. Çalışma bu bağlamda yöneticilerin çalışanların kaygılarını azaltıcı önemlere yönelmeleri gerektiği önerisinin altını çizmektedir
