Research-informed and Evidence-based Quality Assurance and Enhancement in Amateur/Grassroots Football: Strategic Educational Inquiry for Coach Leaders/Administrators
Authors: T. Hubball Harry , Diaz-Cidoncha Garcia Jorge
Published: November 2020

Coach leaders/administrators in diverse amateur and grassroots football contexts are increasingly accountable for sustaining strategic, state-of-the-art, evidence-based, effective, and efficient programs, initiatives, and services. However, coach leaders/administrators within these organizational settings face significant challenges (e.g., insufficient organizational support and research expertise) in enacting research-informed and evidence-based practices. Strategic Educational Inquiry (SEI) is a flexible and rigorous approach to practitioner research and is particularly useful for coach leaders/administrators to gather evidence for quality assurance and enhancement purposes. This paper critically examines whether and how SEI is applied in diverse amateur/grassroots football coaching contexts. Drawing on case study research using multiple case design, preliminary findings from this study indicate that SEI situates specific amateur/grassroots coaching programs and initiatives within the relevant research and professional literature; it focuses SEI on organization-specific priority research objectives, ethical inquiry, and appropriately aligned research methodology; and involves systematic data collection, data analysis, and dissemination of best practices. Critical organization-specific supports to facilitate implementation of SEI in diverse amateur/grassroots football contexts include: strategic coach education and skills training (e.g., access to state-of-the-art customized technology-enabled professional development experiences and expert mentoring support).

Published: November 2020

Safe academic services are the most important part of universities. The security of academic services is very important to maintain information optimally and safely. Along with the development of technology, academic information services are often misused by some irresponsible parties that can cause threats. To prevent these things from happening, it is necessary to know the extent of governance of higher education academic information system security by evaluating. So the research was conducted to determine the maturity of the security of Higher Education academic information service security by using the COBIT 5 framework in the DSS05 domain. The DSS05 domain in COBIT 5 is a good framework for use in implementing and evaluating the security of academic information services. Meanwhile, to determine the achievement of the evaluation of the security level of academic information systems, the Indonesian e-government ranking (PEGI) method is required. The combination of the COBIT 5 framework in the DSS05 domain using the PEGI method in academic information security service is able to provide a level of achievement in the form of Customer Value. The results of the COBIT 5 framework analysis of the DSS05 domain using the PEGI method get a score of 3.50 so that the quality of academic information service security evaluation achievement is at a very good level. At this level, universities are increasingly open to technological development. Higher education has applied the concept of quantification in every process, and has always been monitored and controlled for its performance in the security of academic information systems.

Mental Disorder Detection via Social Media Mining using Deep Learning
Authors: Kholifah Binti , Syarif Iwan , Badriyah Tessy
Published: November 2020

Due to the imperceptible nature of mental disorders, diagnosing a patient with a mental disorder is a challenging task. Therefore, detection in people with mental disorders can be done by looking at the symptoms they experience. One symptom in patients with mental disorders is solitude. Patients with mental disorders feel indifferent to their environment and mainly focus on their own thoughts and emotions. Therefore, the patient looks for a place that can accommodate his feelings. Twitter is one of the most widely used media in measuring one's personality through everyday statements. The symptoms as suggested by psychologists can be explored more broadly using Natural Languages Processing. The process involves taking a lexicon containing keywords that could indicate symptoms of depression. This study uses five criteria as a measure of mental health in a statement: sentiment, basic emotions, the use of personal pronouns, absolutist words, and negative words. The results show that the use of sentiments, emotions, and negative words in a statement is very influential in determining the level of depression. A depressed person more often uses negative words that indicate his self-despair, prolonged sadness, even suicidal thoughts (e.g. "sadly”, “scared”, “die”, “suicide”). In the classification process, LSTM Deep Learning generates an accuracy of 70.89%; precision of 50.24%; recall 70.89%.

Authors: Dewantoro Gunawan , Nugraha Benedictus Edwin , Setiaji Fransiscus Dalu
Published: November 2020

Most of the energy used in residential buildings originates from air conditioners. Meanwhile, air conditioner manufacturers are addressing this issue by the production of efficient air conditioners. However, the convertible frequency air conditioners are expensive, up to 60% higher than the fixed frequency control air conditioners. Besides the human behavior in determining the temperature, setpoint plays an important role regardless of the air conditioners technology used. This study incorporated intelligence in setting up the temperature by means of specially designed remote control. The Tsukamoto fuzzy reasoning was utilized as a decision making system with two inputs, namely the outdoor temperature and the number of occupants. The device used DHT22 as the temperature sensor and HC-SR04 to detect incoming and outgoing occupants. Furthermore, the fuzzy inference system generated infrared signal associated with the temperature setpoint. This signal was received by the air conditioner receiver to adjust the temperature setpoint accordingly. The result of this study showed that the fuzzy inference system determines the temperature setpoint appropriately under variations of surrounding temperature and the number of occupants. The proposed approach yielded a satisfactory perception of thermal comfort and also a promising approach to energy conservation.
TOWARDS A PRISTINE ISLAMIC FINANCE: PRECONDITION
Authors: Saidu Oluwaseun Sulaiman
Published: November 2020

The need for an alternative to the current mainstream financial architecture is not in doubt. As exigent as this call might be through the Islamic finance conduit, it has to be done properly. This is particularly important if we must avoid associated shari’ah risks, avoid rubbing the face of the religion, Islam in the mud, and of course, if we must reap the benefits that accrue from following Allah’s dictates in all our affairs including “econo-financial” matters. This study aims at marshaling a path towards scripting a pristine and practicable Islamic finance by identifying two salient preconditions for it. It utilizes a diachronic approach whilst resorting to scriptural reasoning, historical evidence and were analyzed using inductive rationale. The study finds some unique issues cum scenarios that cannot be shoved or brushed aside as far as Islamic financing is concerned. viz; Scenario one: The impracticability of Islamic financing without an enabling Islamic Law; Scenario two: The non-implementability of Islamic financing without the Islamic man; Scenario three: Islamic finance orchestrated without an Islamic law but with an Islamic man; Scenario four: A “globalized” Islamic finance that can at best fit into a practicable legal micro-framework in today’s world; and Scenario five: A non-global Islamic finance within a practicable legal micro-framework.========================================================================================================Prasyarat Menuju Praktik Keuangan Islam Sejati. Kebutuhan akan sebuah arsitektur keuangan alternatif dari yang ada sekarang merupakan suatu hal yang tidak diragukan lagi. Walaupun seruan ini mungkin mendesak melalui saluran keuangan Islam, itu harus dilakukan dengan benar. Hal ini sangat penting untuk menghindari risiko yang terkait kesyariahan sistem keuangan dalam Islam, ibaratnya ini merupakan upaya untuk menghindari menggosok wajah agama Islam dengan lumpur. Jika kita harus menuai manfaat dari melaksanakan perintah Allah, maka itu ada dalam semua urusan termasuk masalah "Econo-financial". Kajian ini bertujuan menyusun jalan menuju skrip keuangan Islam yang murni dan praktis dengan mengidentifikasi dua prasyarat penting untuk itu. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan diakronis dengan melakukan penalaran terhadap teks-teks keagamaan, bukti sejarah, dan dianalisis dengan rasionalisasi induktif. Penelitian ini menemukan beberapa masalah unik sekaligus skenario yang tidak dapat disingkirkan atau disingkirkan sejauh menyangkut keuangan Islam. yaitu; Skenario satu: Ketidakpraktisan pembiayaan keuangan syariah tanpa adanya hukum Islam yang memungkinkan; Skenario dua: Ketidakimplementasian pembiayaan keuangan Islam tanpa Islamic man; Skenario tiga: Keuangan Islam diatur tanpa hukum Islam tetapi dengan Islam man; Skenario empat: Keuangan Islam yang "diglobalisasi" yang paling sesuai dengan kerangka mikro hukum yang dapat diterapkan di dunia saat ini; dan Skenario lima: Keuangan Islam non-global dalam kerangka mikro hukum yang praktis.

Authors: Hayajneh Audai , Rababa Mohammad , Al-Rawashdeh Sami
Published: November 2020

Background: The prevalence of prehospital delay is high among older
adults with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), resulting in adverse health
outcomes. The current study aimed to examine the associated factors of
prehospital delay among patients with ACS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on a convenience
sample of 300 older adults with ACS admitted to the emergency
department. Bivariate and multivariate analyses, including stepwise
linear regression, were used to explore the predictors of prehospital
delay and length of stay. Results: Being widowed, education, pain
intensity, the gradual onset of ACS symptoms, symptoms lasting for more
than 30 minutes, feeling anxious about their ACS symptoms due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, perceiving their symptoms as dangerous due to the
COVID-19 pandemic, history of myocardial infraction (MI), and mode of
transportation were associated with the time taken before seeking
emergency care among older adults with ACS during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusion: Length of prehospital delay among the participants varied
according to certain sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and
biomarkers. Improved understanding of the associations between
prehospital delay and these characteristics is crucial for achieving
optimal ACS patient outcomes under the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Anti-ROR1 functionalised PLGA nanoparticles modulate metastatic and EMT biomarkers via cellular uptake of curcumin and ICA in colon cancer cells SW480

Published: November 2020

The challenge of next-generation nanoparticles (NPs) includes limited
cellular uptake and loss by phagocytosis. General surface modification
of NPs potentially enhances evasion from phagocytosis. However, active
targeting and enhanced cellular uptake of nanoparticles are possible by
surface functionalisation with molecules that have selective affinity
for cancer cells. ROR1 is a cell surface receptor that is over-expressed
in cancer cells. Hence, its conjugate antibody could be a potential
surface functionalisation molecule. In the current study, anti-ROR1
antibody has been covalently attached to nanoparticles’ surface, thereby
imparting its active targeting potential. Physicochemical and in vitro
characterisations of the antibody-conjugated nanoparticles were
performed. Surface functionalisation of nanoparticles was confirmed by
scanning electron microscopy, isothermal calorimetry, and elemental
analysis. Additionally, biomarkers of metastasis and
epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) were studied. Anti-ROR1 mAb
tagged nanoparticles further confirmed therapeutic efficacy against
colon cancer cells, SW480, thus, opening scope for further in vivo
studies.
Axisymmetric radiation intensity model for annular reactors

Published: November 2020

Cylindrical lamps are usually equipped in the tubular UV reactor to
offer UV radiation. This paper describes the axisymmetric
characteristics of UV radiation from the cylindrical UV lamp.
Axisymmetric lamp emission models are developed in a two-dimensional
axisymmetric space for the line source, the superficial source and the
volumetric source. The present axisymmetric lamp emission models are
easy to understand and of simple mathematical expressions. The
experimental data in literature is used to validate the present
axisymmetric lamp emission models. Good agreements have been obtained
between the experimental data and the computations. A comparison show
that the present models obtain the identical results as previous models.
Predicting microwave-induced relative volatility change by a novel dimensionless number
Authors: Zhao Zhenyu , Li Hong , Sun Guanlun , Tang Xinhui , Wu Haoyu , Gao Xin
Published: November 2020

Microwave (MW) can selectively interact with polar molecules in
homogeneous mixture liquid solution and therefore change their relative
volatility, which has been previously observed in experimental results
for various binary mixtures. However, the lack of theoretical analysis
and quantitative modeling hinders the further development of novel
MW-assisted separation techniques. Hence, this study derived a novel
dimensionless number ZMW based on the assumption of molecular
irradiation to explore the effect of the dielectric and thermodynamic
properties of materials as well as MW field intensity on the
microwave-induced relative volatility change (MIRVC). Furthermore, a
quantitative correlation between MIRVC and ZMW was established, whose
model parameters were determined by fitting experimental data under MW
irradiation. The correlation was also utilized to predict MIRVC in the
previously published literature and the error range between predictive
values and experimental values was within ± 6%, indicating great
validity of the proposed quantitative correlation.

Published: November 2020

The advent of android operating system introduced tools to keep track of users’ information activities and prevent information leakage which bridged the trust between application developers and consumers. Literature shows that several phenomena had been developed to prevent malicious applications from stealing personal sensitive information from smart phones but there is still the need for efficient solutions. This study proposes a conceptual approach for the development of a contentAnalyzer for information leakage detection and prevention on android-based devices. The concept will help to minimize false positives that will in turn lead to increase in code coverage towards detecting the maximum number of data leaks. The proposed concept combines both static and dynamic analysis, and if implemented will improve checking through the codes in the file activities and vulnerabilities that could be a problem. Keywords: Android, ContentAnalyzer, Static Analysis, Dynamic Analysis, Information leakage, Information leakage detection, Information leakage Prevention.

A Discourse Analysis of Three Past TAM Forms in Vwanji
Authors: Eaton Helen
Published: November 2020

This paper presents data from Vwanji, an under-documented Bantu language spoken by approximately 28,000 people in southwestern Tanzania. Bantu languages are well known for having multiple degrees of past time reference grammaticalized in their TAM systems, and Vwanji is a good example of such a language, but one with some interesting typological differences from certain general TAM trends in Bantu languages noted in Nurse (2008). Three past TAM forms, in particular, are the focus of the research: P1 /Anterior SM-VB-ile, P2 SM-a-VB-a, and the Near Past Habitual SM-a-VB-aɣa. The analysis of data from a corpus of narrative and non-narrative texts (both written and oral) reveals that these three TAM forms have multiple discourse functions which do not necessarily follow in expected ways from their places in the TAM system as a whole. Comparing the Vwanji findings with those of neighbouring languages suggests some possible directions in which the verb forms in Vwanji may be changing functionally or being lost. The goal of this investigation is to increase understanding of a typologically interesting language which has not been well described and for which there is very little published data. The paper also shows the importance of taking natural discourse data into account when considering TAM functions in a language. Relying on elicited data alone may hide interesting complexities and variation.
On the “Atypical” Imperative Verb Form in Manda
Authors: Bernander Rasmus
Published: November 2020

This paper accounts for the atypical Imperative verb form found in Manda, a Bantu language spoken along the shores of Lake Nyasa in southern Tanzania. Unlike the vast majority of Bantu languages, Manda lacks a reflex of the so called “morphologically specialized” imperative. Instead, Imperatives (as well as other directives) are expressed with the suffixation of a marker of the form -ayi. Based on the form-meaning variation found both language-internally and in comparative data, this study reconstructs the functional and formal pathways of change leading to the highly unusual situation encountered in today’s Manda. The study shows that the Manda Imperative originates from a construction consisting of a reflex of the pre-final morpheme *-a(n)g-, an imperfective marker originally recruited into the directive domain to add pragmatic overtones of emphasis. However, at some point in time the meaning of this erstwhile emphatic construction became neutralized and conventionalized as the regular imperative, while the marker itself became decategorialized and morphophonologically opaque.
Evidential Strategies in Nyamwezi
Authors: Kanijo Ponsiano Sawaka
Published: November 2020

This paper provides an overview of evidential strategies in Nyamwezi. Nyamwezi, like many other African languages, does not have specific grammatical categories which indicate evidentiality, but evidentiality can be expressed (i) through tense and aspect constructions and (ii) through lexical verbs (particularly verbs of saying and verbs of perception) and epistemic expressions. These evidential strategies differ from each other based on the information source, that is, on the source of knowledge expressed in a proposition, and on the speaker’s attitude and view concerning that knowledge.
An Analysis of the Verbal Marker tsa in Luguru
Authors: Petzell Malin
Published: November 2020

This paper deals with a morphosyntactic phenomenon found in the under-described Bantu language Luguru, spoken in central Tanzania: the verbal marker tsa. This marker encodes shared knowledge or shared reference. The meanings conveyed by the marker stretch from ‘at a specific time’ or ‘at that place’ to ‘as we know’, or even ‘for that reason’. In Mkude’s grammatical description of Luguru from 1974, there is a mention of a marker (zaa) signalling what he calls “recollected reference”, which restricts the event to one specific moment in the past; this marker is believed to have developed into today’s tsa.

Published: November 2020

This article is a museum study from an anthropological perspective. Generally, the museum is an institution that stores and preserves particular material cultures. On the other side, a museum can also be critically seen as a space for the production of cultural discourse that narrates a particular ideology through exhibition strategies and display systems. This study wants to explore the discourse of cultural ideology that is represented by the museum through the design and exhibition. The museum is no longer only monopolized by the state but also developed by the private sector which offers a fusion model between the museum, edutainment, and amusement park. Thus, this article proposes a case study of the Museum Angkut in Batu, East Java, one of the most popular private museums in Indonesia that exhibits transportation system and world civilization themes assembled by implementing amusement park concepts.  This article would like to address the issue of the production of cultural discourse. The research questions are what kind of cultural discourse production is narrated in the Museum Angkut, and how has it been materialized through the display strategy? Additionally, this article explores the relationship of the visitor with material objects in the museum. This paper uses a hermeneutic approach, and Michael Foucault’s heterotopia to examine how cultural imagination with its ideology is represented in museum bodies. As a result, we argue that the Museum Angkut can reflect the character of society, as a post-colonial nation in the sense of seeing self and other cultures.
ORGANIZATIONAL DYNAMICS OF COMMUNITIES FOR WATER USERS (Case in Cihea Irrigation Area, Ciranjang District, Cianjur Regency, West Java)
Authors: Sukayat Yayat
Published: November 2020

Growth in food demand caused by population growth exceeded food growth, encouraging the development of irrigation in the colonial era to the present. The solution offered is to intensify agriculture, along with the emergence of new varieties that are responsive to water, and fertilizer, in such a way that production goes up. Therefore water management at the farm level is very much needed. In the Cihea irrigation area, irrigation management (its management authority) has been handed over to farmers, starting from the Submission of Small Irrigation (PIK) program, PKPI (Renewal of Irrigation Management Policy) and WISMP (Water Resource and Irrigation Sector Management Program). Of the 90 P3As that are still developing, only 10% are still running. The non-functioning of the P3A still seems to be a problem in the process of institutionalization of P3A. The purpose of this study is to obtain an overview of the organization’s movements. This research is a quantitative study, with descriptive survey techniques. From the results of the study, P3A Titaguna is a dynamic P3A, because it is supported by a philosophy that prioritizes togetherness, structurally the highest decision is on the members, and in the process of coordination and clarification is prioritized.

MEASURING THE EFFICIENCY OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES STRUCTURE: FINDING RIGHT SIZING PATTERNS
Authors: Khairi Halilul
Published: November 2020

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the current bureaucratic structure is efficient and is actually formed to carry out managerial functions according to the needs of the tasks and functions that are carried out. This research also aims to find out that the formulation of job descriptions in structural positions has been formulated in accordance with the standard of job description formulation. Descriptive quantitative method is used to measure the structural workload of structural work units and the qualitative method is used to determine the pattern of structural job description description in the regional apparatus. An important finding in this study is that the formulation of the job description does not meet the standard rules where the task description does not contain content, methods and results / objectives. The formulation of echelon IV job descriptions also does not reflect structural task behavior patterns that describe managerial behavior. The task formulation still uses the same or even lower pattern of task behavior than the staff behavior pattern. Another important finding is that the main managerial workload in echelon IV work units generally falls into the very low workload category. So that, it can be concluded that the organizational structure at echelon IV level is less efficient because it carries out tasks whose job behavior patterns can be carried out by staff.

Psychological capital, health, and performance: the mediating role of burnout
Authors: Lupșa Daria , Vîrgă Delia
Published: November 2020

Psychological capital (PsyCap) is a state-like concept with roots in positive psychology. This study investigated the potential role of PsyCap, as a personal resource, in increasing the level of employees’ health (mental and physical) and performance. Based on the Job Demand-Resources theory, the mediating effect of burnout was examined using self-report data. The models were tested on 304 Romanian employees (51% women) from Information Technology & Communications (IT&C) companies, using structural equation modeling. The analysis found that burnout partially mediates the relationship between PsyCap and health (mental and physical) as well as the relationship between PsyCap and performance (task and contextual). The results highlight the role of PsyCap, as a personal resource, in health, and performance. These results are useful for implementing an evidence-based intervention to improve the level of PsyCap in IT&C employees. An improvement in PsyCap would reduce burnout and enhance well-being and performance. This study highlights the mediating role of burnout in the relationship between psychological capital and two distinct outcomes: health and performance. Thus, this research helps identify further mediators of the relation between PsyCap and health and performance.

There is a large body of literature devoted to factors that shape performance in organizations. Although much of this literature focuses on the relationships between job demands, job resources and performance, Bakker and his colleagues (2014; 2018) have recently drawn attention to self-undermining effects that can add support for a deeper understanding of such a relationship. The following contribution explores self-undermining related to exhaustion at work and its mediating role in the perception of three types of job demands in a sample of employees working in IT companies. More specifically, the paper draws on the concept of self-undermining to reflect on how it activates a loss cycle of job demands and potential negative reactions at work. We argue that (i) exhaustion has an indirect effect on the perception of job demands through self-undermining; and so on referring to each dimension of job demands: (ii) exhaustion has an indirect effect on the perception of workload through self-undermining; (iii) exhaustion has an indirect effect on the emotional load through self-undermining; (iv) exhaustion has an indirect effect on the cognitive load through self-undermining. In order to test the hypotheses, a cross-sectional design was employed. The regression analyses revealed that self-undermining mediated the relationship between exhaustion and the perception of workload meeting our expectations, and a significant indirect effect of exhaustion on the perception of job demands and emotional load. However, there is a need for future studies to generalize the results. Finally, theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
The role of Dark Triad on the link between Emotional Labor and Core Burnout

This study investigates whether the Dark Triad personality traits could be potential moderators of the relationship between the emotional labor and core burnout. The nonexperimental, cross-sectional study was based on a sample of 158 participants from different fields of activity. The results show that only narcissism (at medium and high scores) acts weakly as a moderator for the positive relation between emotional labor and burnout and, contrary to our hypothesis, it buffers the negative effects of emotional labor. These results can be explained in terms of Narcissism' conceptualization and are consistent with the newest proposed distinction form the literature between adaptive and maladaptive nature of this trait. Meanwhile the effects of the other moderators are insignificant. The results highlight both the importance of the emotional factor at work and the role of Dark Triad personality factors for core burnout.

The current study investigated the dyadic longitudinal interaction between psychological capital as a personal resourceand work-family enrichment. Work-family enrichment is a positive transfer by both men and women from the homedomain's job experience. The study involved 129 couples with a broad age range measured at two measurement occasionsspaced three months apart. The design was built on the Work-Home Resources and Spillover-Crossover models. Theanalyses applied in this study were based on Actor–Partner Interdependence Models and extended Common Fate Models.Psychological capital is a predictor of the interpersonal (between partners) and intrapersonal (within the self) level forWFE in the models conducted on dyadic data. Furthermore, shared work-family enrichment predicted sharedpsychological capital from both partners. Thus, personal resources predicted work-family enrichment three months later.Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.
The Path from Leader-Member Exchange to Citizenship: An Empirical Test of Self-Determination as a Linchpin

In response to calls to uncover the mechanisms whereby leadership influences subordinate outcomes, the present studyproposes and tests a path from leader-member exchange (LMX) to subordinate organizational citizenship behaviors(OCBs) through work motivation as conceptualized by self-determination theory (SDT). We conducted a survey studyon a Romanian sample of 338 subordinates nested under 59 leaders from a large variety of organizational contexts. Ourfindings at the within-group level offer limited support for the incremental validity of autonomous motivation andamotivation, but suggest controlled motivation—and, through it, LMX—has a negative incremental contribution to bothOCB targeted at co-workers and OCB targeted at the organization. None of the paths was supported at group level.Results thus suggest that leaders should be wary of the consequences of high LMX—despite its established overallpositive influence on OCB, LMX may also undermine OCB to the extent to which it enhances controlled motivation.

Neuromeningeal cryptococcosis (NMC) is relatively rare in immunocompetent subjects. We report a Congolese case of NMC diagnosed in an apparently immunocompetent subject. A 35-year-old woman was admitted for acute meningoencephalitis. The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) examination revealed cytological and biochemical abnormalities and the presence of Cryptococcus neoformans on direct examination with India ink and in culture. The serum dosage of cryptococcal antigens was titrated at 1:32. HIV and syphilis antibodies were negative and the blood CD4 lymphocyte count was 610/mm3. The patient had no other immunosuppressive factors, in particular no hematologic abnormalities, no solid tumor, or malnutrition. She was unsuccessfully treated with fluconazole intraveinously, and died after 10 days of treatment. This observation reminds us that NMC can occur in subjects without apparent immunosuppressive factor with a misleading clinical presentation. It is a rare infection with a severe prognosis even in immunocompetent patients.

Gün içerisinde gerçekleştirilen işlerin ağırlığı, tekrarlı ve sürekli olması çalışanları zorlamakta ve zamanla kas iskelet sistemi rahatsızlıklarına yol açabilmektedir. Endüstride genelde işin yaratacağı fiziksel etkileri önlemek amacıyla çalışmalar yapılmaktadır. Ancak yapılan işlerin çalışanlara fiziksel etkilerinin yanında zihinsel etkileri de söz konusudur. Oluşabilecek performans ve verim kayıplarının önüne geçebilmek için hem fiziksel hem zihinsel iş yüklerini azaltacak iyileştirmelerin yapılması gereklidir. Bu çalışmada, alternatör üretiminde kullanılan stator sac kesim işlemi esnasında operatörlerin çalışma duruşları ve zihinsel iş yükü incelenmiştir. Alternatör üretim süreci emek yoğun gerçekleştirilen işlerden birisidir. Stator sac kesim işleminde, çalışma duruşu değerlendirildiğinde çalışanın fiziksel olarak çok fazla zorlanmadığı düşünülmektedir. Çalışma duruşunun ergonomik açıdan uygun olduğu düşünülse de gün içerisinde işin sürekli tekrarlanmasının çalışana fiziksel etkisinin yanında bıkkınlık, isteksizlik ve iş motivasyonu düşüklüğü gibi zihinsel etkilerinin de olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Yapılan işin çalışanda oluşturacağı zihinsel iş yükünü değerlendirmek için NASA-TLX yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Yöntemde önem ağırlıklarının belirlenmesinde ikili karşılaştırma süreci yer almaktadır. Bu süreçte belirsizlikler söz konusu olduğundan daha gerçekçi sonuçlar elde etmek üzere bulanık önceliklendirme metodu kullanılmıştır. Zihinsel işyükü boyutlarının ikili karşılaştırması sonucu elde edilen önem ağırlıklarının belirlenmesinde, iki akademisyen ve iki üretim yöneticisinin yer aldığı bir ekibin değerlendirmelerinden yararlanılmıştır. Böylece daha objektif sonuçlar ortaya konulmuştur.
