The Piano Press: A Cable-Actuated Glove for Assistive Piano Playing
Authors: Pal Varun , Shrivastava Suhana , Leibson Jaaron , Yu Yin , Kim Lina , Bartolini Alanna , Flatley Diarmid
Published: November 2021

As the need for physical therapists for rheumatoid arthritis is rising, novel technologies are emerging to aid in physical therapy and motor recovery for rheumatoid arthritis patients. However, many of the existing techniques pose questions of practicality and use in the real world as multiple patients report being distracted or bored by their physical therapy sessions. To combat this problem, our project Piano Press aims to create a smart wearable glove that combines musical and physical therapy through assistive piano playing. The glove can amplify a user’s force when pressing on a piano key and help arthritic pianists develop muscle memory. We built Piano Press with three main modules, the conversion from sheet music to MIDI files and fingering positions on a virtual piano, the overall glove design and the rings around the hand, and the hardware components such as the microcontroller and servo motors. We simulated the finger movement in Rhino 7 with Grasshopper and compared the actuation time and distance to an experienced piano player’s. By utilizing cable actuation and MIDI files to control finger movement, the piano glove would use music to ease symptoms of arthritis while making physical therapy exercises enjoyable.
Classification Using 3D Point Cloud and 2D Image on Abstract Objects
Authors: Yang Zhenming , Goldsztein Guillermo
Published: November 2021

While classification using machine learning is exceptionally successful with 2D images, it is more challenging to classify 3D objects. However, 3D objects classification is critical because of its application in autonomous vehicles and robotics. This paper compared neural networks with similar structures using 3D point clouds and 2D images on the same objects. We also generated objects with abstract design and input them into the neural networks we created. We find clear disadvantages with classifying abstract objects compared to ordinary objects for both neural networks. We believe having contextual information will help to address this problem. We also observed that the neural network based on images performs worse than that based on point clouds. However, image based classification takes less time to train compared to point cloud based classification.
A Novel Thermoplasmonic Paint with Titanium Nitride Nanoparticles
Authors: Jhaveri Rhiaan , Mariwala Ravi
Published: November 2021

Several studies have reported the photothermal heating of colloidal nanoparticles due to plasmon-enhanced light absorption, and Titanium Nitride has emerged as a promising nanomaterial for the practical application of this phenomenon. Here, we developed a novel paint that is infused with Titanium Nitride nanoparticles. Varying concentrations of this paint were applied to copper plates and tested under natural light. Substantial heating was observed under both high-grade and low-grade light for higher concentrations. The uses of this source of heat extend to long-term solutions for reducing the prevalence of waterborne diseases in remote, rural settings via pasteurization.
9.	The Answer is Learner Autonomy: Issues in Language Teaching and Learning.
Authors: Ludwig Christian
Published: November 2021

This volume is the result of the two-day conference on language learner autonomy, “The answer is autonomy: issues in language teaching and learning”, which was held in Graz, Austria in June 2012. Through its 16 chapters plus a foreword by Ema Ushioda, the book explores themes such as the role of technology in autonomous learning environments; language learner autonomy and its demands on the teacher; language learner autonomy and the power of beliefs; new perspectives on (peer) evaluation and assessment, and the role of the institution in everyday classroom practice. Since its original release, this volume has been considered to have made a notable contribution to the field of learner autonomy. Although undoubtedly there have been many changes in circumstances, ideas, and programmes since the original publication of this book in 2013, it has been republished it ‘intact’ in order to offer a true account of the field at the time of the Graz event.

Learner Autonomy Powered by Moodle: Do Language Students Really Want It?
Authors: Pree Maria
Published: November 2021

The study described in this article focuses on two major subject areas. On the one hand, different age groups of university language students at B2, B2+ and C1 level were asked to evaluate the opportunities of Moodle when studying English as an applied business language; on the other hand, the students’ disposition to use Moodle as a technological tool to foster learner autonomy was investigated. As Moodle provides social media features such as blogs, chats and quizzes, it seems to perfectly supplement traditional classroom teaching with student activities which can be performed without the supervision of the language instructor. One question of the survey among 138 applied business language students at the JKU (Johannes Kepler University, Linz, Austria) therefore attempted to establish how much the increasing use of social media has impacted on students’ needs for teacher-independent online learning. The results show a clear preference for ‘conservative’ language acquisition methods. Only 25% of the less advanced students (and even fewer of the more advanced ones) are interested in using social media features to direct their own learning progress and/or to create their own course content. The teacher still is - in the eyes of these students - very clearly the only person to provide content. This article will discuss the survey in detail and offer possible explanations for its results.
Exploring a Model of Autonomy to Live, Learn and Teach By
Authors: Everhard Carol
Published: November 2021

While there have been many attempts to define and redefine autonomy in language learning in order to outline and pinpoint its inherent qualities, it has been a rather different matter when it comes to providing some kind of model of or model for autonomy on which to base language learning and teaching practices. It is unfortunate that the few attempts to provide such a model have been somewhat neglected, since a model could perhaps enable us to transform theory into practice and serve as a framework or guide which could inform our learning, teaching, and even living. In this paper, I will examine the EFL models for autonomy which were investigated for deployment on the Assessment for Autonomy Research Project (AARP), initiated in 2005 and completed in 2010, and consider their advantages and drawbacks. I will then explore the possibility of whether a model, created by Stolk, Martello and Geddes (2007) for the Lifelong Learning of Engineers and adapted by the author to the context of the AARP in a Greek Higher Education (HE) EFL setting, could be appropriated and used by others in different educational, cultural, geographical and socio-political contexts.
Using Textbooks in Developing Learner Autonomy: Contradictio in Adjecto?

methods and materials. Against this background, an increasing number of teachers committed to learner autonomy attempt to support their students in taking over responsibility for their own learning. This, apart from discovering and developing cognitive learning strategies, includes a gradually increasing awareness of all steps involved in the learning process at a meta-cognitive level. Especially when it comes to textbooks, however, freedom of choice is often all too well given up by teachers although textbooks are per se understood as something which enforces the classic division of roles in the classroom and thus hinder the development of autonomy. Nevertheless, textbooks still enjoy an almost sacrosanct status in many classrooms for a number of reasons. From the teachers’ perspective, textbooks are often believed to mirror the curriculum and thus contain everything that students need to learn. For students, the raison d’être of textbooks is often that they present what they believe their teachers and/or the institution expect them to learn. In this article I shall elaborate on some of the myths surrounding textbooks and discuss possibilities of using the textbook in the autonomy classroom by drawing on examples from one of my own Business English courses.
The Implementation of Aspects of Learner Autonomy in Technical English Courses
Authors: Janser-Munro Gerhild , Psonder Tanja
Published: November 2021

This article reports on two best practice examples which incorporate principles of learner autonomy into two different technical courses in tertiary education. These principles include encouraging active learner involvement, self-reflection and peer evaluation as well as target language use and a focus on individual learning styles. The approach applied has been developed based on real experiences from teaching the General English and Technical English courses as part of the Information Management and Construction Design and Economics Bachelor Degree programmes at the FH Joanneum University of Applied Sciences. The goal of this approach is to move away from frontal teaching and to let students develop their own learning materials, experience the social dimension of peer evaluation and become aware of the importance of addressing the needs of different learner types. Thus, students develop their individual autonomy and at the same time integrate their field-related knowledge with a foreign language.

The most important drug metabolizing enzyme of the detoxification mechanism is known as Glutathione S-Transferase. GST enzymes may be associated with brain tumor epidemiology, clinical and demographic factors. The correlation between parameters such as changes in Glutathione S-transferase Theta1 proteins, tumor localizations, age, gender, alcohol use, smoking, chemotherapeutic/radiotherapeutic treatment status in normal and brain tumor tissues, diagnosed in neurosurgery department, were examined by immunohistochemistry. GST-Theta1 expressions were analyzed using immunostaining in samples from 149 patients diagnosed with brain tumors between 2016 and 2018. The mean age of the patient group was 49.44 years. 83 (58.45%) patients were male. After immunohistochemical staining, GST-T1 expression was found approximately 9,46 times higher in tumor tissues than in normal tissues (p<0.0001). Tumor tissues from patients who received chemotheraphy showed higher expression of GST-T1 than those who did not (p<0,05). In addition, GST-T1 expression level was observed at a significantly higher level in patients younger than 60 years of age compared to patients over 60 years (p<0.026; p<0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between patients smoking behaviors, alcohol consumption, tumor localization and GST-T1 expressions. It is aimed to determine the GST-T1 protein expressions and to contribute to the examination of epidemiological and prognostic factors of brain tumors by comparing them with demographic and clinical data.

Effect of artificial structures on shoreline profile of Selingan Island, Sandakan, Sabah, Malaysia
Authors: Saleh Ejria , Geng Chen Nuo , Kiat Yap Tzuen , Isnain Irwan
Published: December 2021

Selingan Island off Sandakan, Sabah is a famous turtle nesting ground and gazette as Turtle Island Park (TIP) within Malaysian Coral Triangle areas. However, beach erosion contribute to loss of turtle nesting area on the island. To counter this, Sabah Parks had deployed stone revetments in 2005, followed by the reef balls deployment at the southern part of the Selingan Island in 2007. Therefore, objectives of this study are to determine the shoreline changes and reef ballsâ€™ effectiveness as shoreline protection. Shoreline changes were determined from satellite images, beach profiling and field observation. Two years interval of satellite images from 2010 to 2016 were obtained from Google Earth Pro, analyzed and overlaid to determine changes of shape and size of the island with QGIS software. Beach profiling was performed on 29th December 2017 at three sites and compared with 2011. The findings indicated that the shape of the island was squeezed towards the east where the reef balls were located. The size of the island does not change much within 9 years after the deployment of the reef balls, but a high volume of sediments accumulated at the south due to the presence of shoreline protection. Generally, the man-made structures in Selingan Island are effective trapping sediment and provide more nesting area for turtles. It is recommended that the dynamic of the island should be monitored by analyzing more satellite images or photos to reflect the changes of the island for better understanding on the changes of the island.

In an ancient era, physical resources used to apply for transacting messages, treaty content, monarchy schemes, and policies and associated national or territorial currency which consumes time duration in the heavy count with negligible security. But as time passes, technological advancement has tendered its valuable and qualitative inputs to make the conventional transaction more better at its highest level of the extent, and as a qualitative and progressive resultant, the world is breathing in the current era of the digital environment with high-security priority. The responsibility of researchers and concerned authorities is to protect the online digital transaction under the safe digital environment. Therefore continuous enhancement is required in the upgrade of the security of the transaction system to handle digital transaction fraud. This research study suggests an approach of deep autoencoder for identifying fraudulent payment card transactions. To assess the outcome and validity of the projected approach of deep autoencoder for identifying fraudulent payment card transactions, testing was executed with the help of two datasets. The first dataset is a real credit card fraud dataset that is public available in world and the second dataset are generated by collecting the data using payment card transaction including genuine transaction and fraudulent transactions. A comparative analysis performed which is based on a comparison with different method and used first dataset. The proposed integration approach performed exceptionally with the different method and accomplished the maximum performance with respect to area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) (95.66%).

Published: November 2021

Tensile strength of a material is the capacity of material to withstand tensile force without failure. Tensile strength is important mechanical property of material which gives direction to use it for proposed application safely. It is very important parameter considered in designing sound product. Grey cast iron carries properties like high compressive strength, castable, good machinability, good abrasion resistance, high thermal conductivity, resist to expand under high temperature. Tensile strength of grey cast depends mainly on carbon content, steel scrap % used, inoculation, graphite morphology, cooling time. Present paper summarizes study of factors affecting tensile strength of grey cast iron. With the study of factors affecting the tensile strength of cast iron it is very helpful to achieve required tensile strength by controlling the factors affecting strength of the material. While studying and experimenting on the behavior of tensile strength, clear idea comes into the picture how the strength is affected.

Published: November 2021

The goals of this work are to estimate the amount of erosion and to evaluate the impacts of sediments on Best Management Practices (BMPs) for highway runoff and also used to estimate the annual erosion and sediment yield from the construction sites considering various erosion control management methods that might be used in the sites. Once the sediment yield is found, a model was designed to estimate the sediment capture efficiency of different Best Management Practices (BMPs) and to evaluate the service year of each BMP before it is filled with sediment. The two major objectives of this project are: to predict sediment yield from highway construction sites under different erosion management conditions and secondly to estimate the service year of sediment control BMPs treating runoff from highway construction sites. The BMPs selected for evaluation were: detention ponds, infiltration trenches, grass lined swales, grass lined swales with rock check dams, and bio retention areas. Each respective BMP requires different measures of efficiency to accurately assess its effectiveness and service year.
Dissociative Fugue: A Case Report
Authors: Valadas Maria Teresa , Pedro Costa Ana , Bravo Lucilia
Published: November 2021

A dissociative fugue occurs when an individual with dissociative amnesia wanders away from their familiar surroundings, maintaining self‑care and apparently normal behavior to observers, lasting from hours to months in a row. New identities can be assumed and even organized travel can occur. While dissociative amnesia by itself may have a prevalence of around 7.2%, dissociative fugue is a rare entity, with unknown prevalence, and there are few reports in the literature. In this article, we describe a case of dissociative fugue in a 34‑year old woman that lasted eight months. Dissociative amnesia with fugue remains an interesting topic for further research since it can present a diagnostic challenge, there are currently no evidence‑based pharmacological treatments and prognosis varies greatly between patients.

Published: November 2021

Black currant (Ribes nigrum L.) is one of the most widespread berry crops in Russia. The need for planting material of black currant is increasing every year, because the area for laying industrial plantations is increasing. The purpose of our research is to assess the effect of combinations of biological products on the rooting rate of cuttings and on the parameters of the root system of black currant. The objects of research are black currant varieties - Dar Smolyaninova, Sevchanka, Yadrenaya. In the research, there are two combinations of biological products: based on Trichoderma viride + water and the combined use Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas fluorescens. The experiment was carried out in 2021 in the Moscow region. We found that there is no reliable effect of the products on the increase of the root system volume and the roots length. The coefficients of variation for the studied varieties of the root system volume and along the length are very high, that does not make the planting material leveled according to these indicators.

Lip and Tongue Postures Following Maxillary Impaction Surgery
Authors:   Miami University, Grandstaff Harvey , Mason Robert ,   Duke University Medical Center
Published: November 2021

Conclusion: Surgical impaction of the maxilla for patients with vertical maxillary excess and associated skeletal, anterior openbite, is often accompanied by modifications in lip and tongue posture and tongue functions during swallowing. Patients differ in adaptive responses to maxillary surgery for skeletal openbite conditions. Myofunctional therapy for retained problems of lip incompetence has been demonstrated to be effective in selected patients. and may also influence tongue adaptations postoperatively. Our experience with the VME [vertical maxillary excess] osteotomy patients reported in this study should encourage the inclusion of the myofunctional clinician on multidisciplinary teams dealing with facial variations. The myofunctional clinician should follow the lead of Case (1982, IJOM) in emphasizing that therapy to improve oral posturing can benefit the patient both in cosmetic and psychosocial areas.

A study of changes in swallowing habit resulting from tongue thrust therapy recommended by R.H. Barrett
Authors: Harden Joyce , Rydell Clara
Published: November 2021

It was the purpose of this study to (1) select from the files of R.H. Barrett subjects who had been diagnosed as manifesting tongue thrust behavior, (2) evaluate the swallowing behavior of subjects who had successfully completed therapy at least five years prior to the study, and (3) evaluate the swallowing behavior of subjects who had declined therapy at least five years ago. Fifty subjects (median age = 17) who completed therapy and 30 age-matched subjects who had declined therapy were examined for swallowing behaviors and associated oral habits. Normal tongue function during swallowing was observed in 84% of the therapy group and 0% of the control group. According to clinic records, all subjects initially demonstrated incorrect resting tongue posture. Based on the current examination, 88% of the therapy group and 0% of the control group demonstrated correct resting tongue posture. The results of this study show that the majority of subjects who completed therapy with Barrett were successful in maintaining appropriate swallowing behaviors. The most significant factors involved in maintaining correct swallowing habits appeared to be the individual subject's habitual resting posture of the lips and tongue. [abstract constructed by N.P.

Triadic Model - Dynamics of Behavior Change
Authors: Tharp R , Wetzel R
Published: November 2021

Summary: In the present section, we have suggested a model by which the principles of learning may be systemati­cally applied to the natural environment. The basic technique is contingency management; that is to say, a positively reinforcing event must follow desirable behavior, and must not follow undesirable behavior. A positively reinforcing event is defined as that outcome in which the resolved sign of all sources of reinforcement is + . The task of the consultant is to select mediators and behaviors which will maximize the posi­tive resolution. The task can be facilitated by attending to the role positions and the specific available reinforcers for each individual in the chain. Each individual in the chain must attend to the primary task of modifying the behavior of the next individual in the chain, not the target's behavior. That behavior should be chosen for the next individual, which will then ultimately maximize the behavior correction of the target.

Recognizing tongue related malocclusions
Authors: Mikell Barbara
Published: November 2021

Introduction: With the emphasis today on holistic approaches to health care, the dentist/orthodontist can benefit from an awareness of the causes of functional malocclusions. There can be little disagreement that tongue pressures during swallowing, speech, and resting position, may be a contributing factor to certain malocclusions. This article is not intended to provide a comprehensive examination protocol but rather to raise the awareness of the dental community to tongue related malocclusions. Dentists and orthodontists may be in a position to see the beginning stages of many preventable problems. Early detection and intervention can be beneficial to the patient.
Effect of lip training in children with short upper lip
Authors: Ingervall Bengt , Eliasson Gun-Britt
Published: November 2021

Summary: The effect of lip training was studied in 15 children with incompetent lips, who were compared with a control group of 10 children who also had incompetent lips. Lip function was evaluated by electromyography of the activity of the lips in resting posture and during swallowing and chewing. The morphology of the dentition, facial skeleton and lips were studied on dental casts and profile radiographs. Lip training was performed for one year and was found to maintain lip function in the test group, in contrast to impairment of lip function in the control group. Lip training favorably influenced lip morphology, increasing the height of both lips and decreasing the interlabial gap. In the control group, the interlabial gap increased. The beneficial effect of the training on the function and morphology of the lips could not be shown to affect tooth position during the one-year study period.

Published: November 2021

Actually,  Sawang is the largest sub-district in North Aceh, ±38,465 ha or 11.67% of the total area of North Aceh. Consists of thirty nine villages. 3,449 ha are paddy fields and 35,016 ha are non-paddy fields. The use of non-rice field land is usually used by the surrounding community for gardens, forests, and ponds of 27,997 ha. In order to support government programs in improving people's welfare and creating job opportunities, it can be done by developing the potential of agriculture and plantations. Therefore, integrated and complete information is needed regarding the characteristics of land in North Aceh, especially Sawang Sub - District, which is suitable for planting certain types of plants in support of optimal and sustainable land use policies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the nature of the land that is suitable for use as an agricultural area or plantation of superior commodities. The specific purpose of the research is to provide recommendations to local governments to determine policies for the use of vacant land with appropriate plant types. The research steps include preliminary studies, identification of superior commodities, mapping of vacant land, testing of land suitability parameters, determination of land suitability, policy recommendations. Based on the results of the research that has been carried out, the researchers conclude that cocoa is considered the most appropriate plant among several other options, referring to the results of several parameters and observations that have been made, either through spatial studies based on mapping techniques, using special software, or the study of chemical elements, as a support for plant growth, through the results of laboratory tests that have been carried out by the research team.

Bu nedenle devletler, toplumsal görevlerini yerine getirmek amacıyla, sağlık ve eğitim harcamalarına önem vermektedir. Ancak, yolsuzluk etkin ve verimli harcamaları engellemektedir. Bunun sonucu olarak, gelişmişlik göstergeleri ve bunların arasında sağlık da olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Bu çalışmada öncelikle ülkelerin sağlık göstergelerine göre belirli sınıflarda kümelendiği gösterilecektir. Bu sınıflarda dolaylı olarak toplumun yolsuzluk algısının nasıl olumsuz olarak şekillendiği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Devlet yönetiminde yolsuzluk ile artan harcamalar verimsiz olmakta ve performansları zayıflamaktadır. Bu çalışmada sağlık göstergelerine göre, OECD ülkeleri üç sınıfta kümelenmiştir. Kümelerin ortalama yolsuzluk kontrolü algısı anlamlı farklılıklar göstermektedir. Düşük sağlık performansı olan ülkelerde yolsuzluk kontrolü algısı da zayıftır. Aynı zamanda yolsuzluk kontrolü ile sağlık harcamaları arasında güçlü anlamlı pozitif bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Özellikle günümüzde ortaya çıkan COVID-19 pandemisinde öncelikle toplumun sağlığının korunması için yolsuzluk kontrolünün güçlendirilerek, halkın devletin sağlık uygulamalarına güvenini ve erişimini arttırmak gerekir.

Ekonomi, hukuk, teknoloji, iletişim vb. birçok alanda yaşanan değişim, gelişim ve entegrasyon yeni multidisipliner alanlar ile mesleklerin doğmasını sağlamıştır. Bu multidisipliner alanlardan birisi de muhasebe bilim dalı altında gelişen adli muhasebedir. Branş ve meslek geçmişine bakıldığında genç bir meslek olarak kabul edilen adli muhasebenin yakın zamanda ilgi gören alanlar arasında olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bilgi ve iletişim çağı olarak da kabul edilen günümüzde kişisel veriler kullanılarak ticari işlemlerin dijital ortamda yapılması, kayıtların elektronik ortamlarda tutulması zaman ve işlem kolaylığı gibi pek çok avantaj sağlamaktadır. Bu avantajlı durumlardan biri de adli muhasebe uygulamalarıdır. Fakat bu avantajlı durumlar birçok risk unsuru taşıyan finansal hata, hile veya olumsuzlukları da beraberinde getirmektedir. Adli muhasebe ile ortaya çıkan avantajlı ve dezavantajlı durumların tespiti, tarafların adli muhasebe algılarının belirlenmesi, bu mesleğin gelişimine olumlu yönde katkı sağlayacağı beklenmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı İskenderun’da faaliyet gösteren ve adli muhasebenin taraflarından sayılan muhasebe meslek mensupları ile avukatların adli muhasebe algıları hakkında mevcut durumu tespit edip, bu alan ve mesleğin gelişimi için gerekli görüş ve önerilerini belirlemektir. Araştırmada veri toplama yöntemi olarak anket yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya, İskenderun’da faaliyet gösteren muhasebe meslek mensubu ve avukatlar dâhil edilmiş olup fiziksel ortamda hazırlanan anket 2019 yılında uygulanmıştır. Yapılan araştırmaya göre; avukatların ticari uyuşmazlıkların yer aldığı davalarda müvekkillerinin savunmalarını hazırlarken bir dava destek danışmanına ihtiyaç duydukları, muhasebe meslek mensuplarının da adli muhasebenin belirli eğitim şirketlerinden sertifikasyon hizmeti ile değil yasal/idari altyapısının oluşturulup adli muhasebenin görev tanımı, eğitim içeriği vb. hususlarının netleştirilmesi, adli muhasebe eğitiminin belirli bir program dâhilinde verilmesi ve bu eğitimin de TÜRMOB aracılığı ile yapılmasının uygun olacağını düşündükleri gibi sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuçlardan yola çıkarak adli muhasebenin taraflar üzerindeki farkındalığını artırmak için çeşitli önerilerde bulunulmuştur.

Ekonomide yönlendirici rol üstlenen kamu mali politikaları, uzun yıllar etkileri düşünülmeden uygulana gelmiştir. Fakat son dönemde oluşan küresel farkındalıkla birlikte, ülkelerin en önemli ara mallarından biri olan enerji ve bununla ilgili olarak fosil yakıtlara verilen sübvansiyonlar ekonomik etkinliği bozucu kabul edilip ciddi eleştiri konusu olmuştur. Bu bağlamda 25 OECD ülkesine ait 2000-2019 yıllık panel verileri kullanılarak Ortak İlişkili Etkiler Ortalama Grup (CCEMG) yöntemi ile ampirik analiz yapılmış ve fosil yakıtlar için verilen devlet sübvansiyonlarının uzun dönem iktisadi ve sosyal etkileri tahmin edilmiştir. Elde edilen katsayı tahminlerine göre fosil yakıtlar için sağlanan devlet sübvansiyonlarının gayrisafi yurtiçi hâsıla (GSYİH) üzerinde pozitif etki oluşturduğu ancak bununla beraber işsizliği artırıcı sonuçlarının olduğu ortaya konmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre fosil yakıtlara verilen toplam sübvansiyonlarda meydana gelecek %1'lik bir artış GSYİH'yı %0.04 ve işsizliği ise %0.03 oranında artıracaktır.

Diyarbakır ilinde hizmet veren Gazi Yaşargil Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesine başvuran 18 yaş üstü hastaların hasta hakları ve sorumluluklarıyla ilgili bilgi düzeylerini tespit etmek maksadıyla yapılmış tanımlayıcı bir araştırmadır. Gazi Yaşargil Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesine başvuran 18 yaş üstü, akli dengesi yerinde olan ve anket sorularına cevap verebilecek 400 kişi basit ve rastgele örneklem yöntemiyle seçilmiş olup araştırmaya dahil edilmiştir. Araştırma için kullanılan anket formunun soruları 01.08.1998 yılında Resmi Gazete yayımlanan 23420 Sayılı Hasta Hakları Yönetmeliği başta olmak üzere ilgili literatür taranıp hazırlanmıştır. Anket formu araştırmacı tarafından yüz yüze anket uygulama yöntemiyle uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verileri frekans ve yüzde hesaplamalarıyla değerlendirilmiştir. Hastaların %55’i Hasta Hakları Yönetmeliğini bilmektedir. Hastalar, %95 ile ziyaret ve refakatçi bulundurma hakkı, %86 ile tıbbi müdahale için hastadan rıza alınma hakkı, %44 ile sağlık hizmetlerinden adalet ve hakkaniyete uygun olarak faydalanma hakkı, %50 ile tıbbi gereklilikler dışında müdahale yapılamayacağı hakkı olduğunu bilmektedir. Yönetmelikte geçen hasta sorumluluklarıyla ilgili hastaların bilgi düzeylerinin genel olarak %70 üzerinde olduğu görülmüştür. Eğitim ve Araştırma hastanesine başvuran hastaların hasta hakları ve sorumluluklarıyla ilgili bilgi düzeylerinin iyi durumda olduğu konuyla ilgili eksik olan hususlar içinde hastalara yönelik bilinçlendirme çalışmalarının yapılması gerektiği düşünülmektedir.
GELİR EŞİTSİZLİĞİ VE İTHALAT TALEBİ: EŞBÜTÜNLEŞME ANALİZİ
Authors: ARI Ayşe
Published: November 2021

Bu çalışmanın amacı gelir eşitsizliğinin ithalat talebine etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu amaçla gelişmiş ülkelerde gelir eşitsizliğinin ithalatı artıracağı hipotezi Almanya örneği için 1979-2018 dönemi analiz edilerek sınanmıştır. Çalışmada Bayer & Hanck (2012) eşbütünleşme testi ile FMOLS ve DOLS tahmin yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgular, gelir eşitsizliğinin ithalat talebini pozitif etkilediği şeklinde olup söz konusu hipotezi destekler niteliktedir. Çalışmada ayrıca ekonomik büyümenin ithalatı pozitif etkilerken reel döviz kurunun negatif etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak gelir eşitsizliğinin ithalatın ve dolayısıyla dış ticaret dengesinin bir belirleyeni olduğu görülmektedir. Bu durumda otoritelerin daha adil bir gelir dağılımı sağlayarak dış ticaret açığını hafifletebileceği söylenebilir.
HEALTHCARE SCHOOL STUDENTS’ WILLINGNESS TO WORK WITH THE ELDERLY: INFLUENCE OF AGEISM
Authors: GÜMÜŞ Rojan
Published: November 2021

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of ageism attitude and the associated factors such as demographics of healthcare school students on willingness to work with elderly after graduation. A cross sectional descriptive study was conducted with a total of 704 vocational healthcare school students. An online questionnaire consisting of socio-economic variables, Ageism Attitude Scale and questions related to willingness to work and live with elderly after graduation was completed by 80% of the entire study population. Data were analyzed by Normality test, Cronbach test, t-test, ANOVA and Scheffe test and Chi-square test. According to the results, willingness to work in elderly care was significantly higher in student groups having higher positive AAS scores. Elderly care willingness and AAS scores of the students showed no significant differences with regard to demographics. Only students whose mothers’ educational level was higher had more positive AAS scores. AAS scores were high in all groups but willingness to work in elderly care was low. The students who have visited a nursing home showed significantly higher willingness to care for the elderly. Participants who had lived with an elderly before were less likely to live with an older adult in the future. The students showed the lowest AAS scores with regard to hiring of the elderly and 55% of them consider people at the age of 55 and over as being old. There is a positive relationship between the low ratio of ageism among young people and the tendency to work in the field of elderly care in the future. In order to encourage young people to work in this field, their concerns should be addressed and their prejudice should be eliminated. Both as part of a state policy and in terms of employment volume, students of universities’ vocational healthcare schools should be encouraged to pursue a career in elderly care after their graduation.

Günümüzde doğal ve beşerî faktörlere bağlı olarak yaşanan afet olayları dünya gündeminde yer alan konuların başında gelmektedir. Nitekim ülkemizde gerek bulunduğu coğrafi konum gerekse iklim değişikliği, salgın olaylar, çevre sorunları, çarpık kentleşme, denetim yetersizliği, konut güvenliği, alt yapı yetersizliği gibi beşeri faktörlere bağlı olarak afet olayları sık sık yaşanmaktadır. Afetlerin türü ve boyutu afetin meydana geldiği bölgenin coğrafi yapısı, gelişmişlik düzeyi, afet bilinci gibi faktörlere göre değişiklik gösterebilmektedir. Bu bakımdan Şanlıurfa ilimiz bulunduğu konum, sosyoekonomik yapısı ve iklim koşulları açısından incelenmesi gereken illerimizin başında gelmektedir. Şanlıurfa deprem bölgesinde yer almamasına rağmen çevre illerde meydana gelen depremlerden, kışın artan sel ve taşkın olaylarından, yaz aylarında aşırı kuraklık olaylarından etkilenmektedir. Ayrıca en fazla sığınmacıya sahip iller arasında olmasıyla birlikte sığınmacıların uyum sorunu, kültürel çatışma, kentsel güvenlik bakımından incelenmesi gereken iller arasında yer almaktadır. Şanlıurfa’da afet olaylarının sosyal ve yönetim açısından bir krize dönüşmeden sorunların hızlı tespit edilmesi ve doğru süreç yönetimi afet olaylarının olumsuz etkilerinin azaltılmasını sağlayacaktır. Bu bağlamda çalışmanın afet ve kriz yönetimi konusunda geliştirilecek politikalara katkı sunması beklenmektedir.
