Authors: HENGİL Ökkeş
Published: May 2022

Deyimler bir dilin kültür hazinesidir. Her dilin kendine has deyimleri vardır ve bu deyimler o dilin kültürünün bir yansımasıdır. Çoğunlukla mecaz içerme özelliği taşırlar. Deyimler nesiller boyu süregelen bir kültür aktarımıdır. Hayatın içerisinde yer alan her unsur deyimlerde kullanılabilir. Genellikle gerçek hayat, dini inanç, gelenek görenek, âdetler, alışkanlıklar gibi birçok öge deyimlere konu olmaktadır. Bu araştırmada bir insan uzvu olan “el” kelimesi Türkçe ve Arapça deyimler içerisinden taranmış, yaygınlık, sık kullanılma ve yoruma açık olma gibi kriterlere göre seçilmiştir. Beş adet Türkçe ve Arapçada ortak kurgu ortak mantıkta deyim yorumlanıp karşılaştırmaya tabi tutulmuş, beş Türkçe deyim ve beş Arapça deyim kendi içlerinde tahlil edilmiştir. Deyimlerin kullanımlarına örnek olması amacıyla her deyim için Türkçe ve Arapça örnek cümleler, Arapça cümlelerin Türkçe tercümeleri verilmiştir. Bulunan deyimler; deyim arka planı, sözdizimi, anlam, kültür vb. açılardan yorumlanmış, karşılıklı olarak tahlil edilmiştir. Deyimlerle ilgili literatürde insan uzuvları içeren araştırmaların olmayışı nedeniyle araştırma önem arz etmekte ve alana katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır.

Introduction: Several therapies are being used or proposed for COVID-19, and many lack appropriate evaluations of their effectiveness and safety. The purpose of this document is to develop recommendations to support decisions regarding the pharmacological treatment of patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in Brazil.
Methods: A group of 27 experts, including representatives of the Ministry of Health and methodologists, created this guideline. The method used for the rapid development of guidelines was based on the adoption and/or adaptation of existing international guidelines (GRADE ADOLOPMENT) and supported by the e-COVID-19 RecMap platform. The quality of the evidence and the preparation of the recommendations followed the GRADE method.
Results: Sixteen recommendations were generated. They include strong recommendations for the use of corticosteroids in patients using supplemental oxygen, the use of anticoagulants at prophylactic doses to prevent thromboembolism and the nonuse of antibiotics in patients without suspected bacterial infection. It was not possible to make a recommendation regarding the use of tocilizumab in patients hospitalized with COVID-19 using oxygen due to uncertainties regarding the availability of and access to the drug. Strong recommendations against the use of hydroxychloroquine, convalescent plasma, colchicine, lopinavir + ritonavir and antibiotics in patients without suspected bacterial infection and also conditional recommendations against the use of casirivimab + imdevimab, ivermectin and rendesivir were made.
Conclusion: To date, few therapies have proven effective in the treatment of hospitalized patients with COVID-19, and only corticosteroids and prophylaxis for thromboembolism are recommended. Several drugs were considered ineffective and should not be used to provide the best treatment according to the principles of evidence-based medicine and promote economical resource use.

First report of Macrophomina Phaseolina (Tassi) Goid. root rot in Vateria Indica L.
Authors: Priya K. , Nagaveni H.
Published: May 2022

Vateria indica L., is an important endemic vulnerable tree of Western Ghats. Seed myco-flora of V. indica collected from different locations of Western Ghats in Karnataka at different fruiting years was studied. Among all fungal isolates, Macrophomina phaseolina was most abundant (16.92%) on the seed samples causing mortality in germinating seeds. The mycelial growth of this fungus was observed predominantly on collar region of radicle in geminating seeds. Infected roots were rotted from region of pathogen occurrence and further, infected tissues were discoloured with the progress of disease. Seeds treated with fungal suspension carried infection on radicle of germinating seeds and hindered the survival of seedling. Though, M. phaseolina is known for its pathogenicty in most of the agricultural crops, its impact on V. indica seed health and seedling endurance was proved for the first time in this study.

Published: May 2022

Introduction:

The goal of this study was to investigate prevalence and morphometric parameters of pubic ligaments and the interpubic disk and its cavity using imaging methods for use in clinical medicine.

Methods:

Pubic symphysis morphology was investigated in 652 patients (348 women and 304 men), from which 449 CT scans and 203 MR scans were available. The average age of men was 48 years and women 39 years. Investigated parameters included dimensions of the interpubic disk, visibility and width of the reinforcing ligaments, and visibility, dimensions, and location of the symphysial cavity. The results were compared with MR scans of 20 healthy volunteers and 21 dissected anatomic specimens.

Results:

The craniocaudal, ventrodorsal, and mediolateral diameters of the pubic disk were 36 to 37.7, 14.8 to 15.2, and 2.2 to 4.2 mm in women and 42 to 42.3, 18.6 to 19, and 2.4 to 4.5 mm in men, respectively. Higher age correlated with shorter mediolateral diameter and larger craniocaudal and ventrodorsal diameters. The superior pubic ligament was visible in 93.1% of men (1.44 mm thick) and in 100% of women (1.7 mm); the inferior pubic ligament in 89.7% of men (1.74 mm) and 88% of women (1.95 mm), the anterior pubic ligament in 96.6% of men (1.5 mm) and 82% of women (1.34 mm); and the posterior pubic ligament in 65.5% of men (1.18 mm) and 63.7% of women (0.83 mm). A symphysial cavity was found in 24% of men and 22.9% of women, with craniocaudal, ventrodorsal, and mediolateral dimensions of 13, 10.7, and 3.2 mm in men and 9.5, 10.7, and 3 mm in women, respectively.

Conclusion:

The presented morphologic parameters provide an anatomic reference for diagnostics of pathologic conditions of the pubic symphysis. The following anatomic structures should be added to the official anatomic terminology: symphysial cavity (cavitas symphysialis), retropubic eminence (eminentia retropubica), anterior pubic ligament (ligamentum pubicum anterius), and posterior pubic ligament (ligamentum pubicum posterius).

Published: May 2022

Objective:

To describe the clinical outcomes of interposition arthroplasty with transposition of the medial epicondyle to the coronoid process and articulated external fixation in patients with untreated chronic dislocation of the elbow.

Methods:

Fourteen consecutive patients diagnosed with untreated chronic elbow dislocation performed a complete radiological and physical examination. The same surgeon treated all patients with a same technique. Passive mobilization started immediately in addition to the vigorous care of the surgical wound and surrounding skin.

Results:

A total of 14 patients were treated, with a mean age of 31 years, with the nondominant side being the most affected (65%). In the immediate postoperative period, the initial Mayo Elbow Performance Score was 60 pts. In all cases, the distraction from the articulated fixator was removed, and there was an average of 16 pts improvement at the time of removal. A hinged elbow orthosis was placed for 4 weeks starting strengthening and obtained radiographic integration of the neocoronoids; ranges of motion of flexion 122°, extension −6°, and pronosupination 70°, without data of any direction instability.

Conclusion:

Considering that this is one of the longest series with a follow-up of more than 60 months of evolution in our patients, the result is completely satisfactory, achieving the objective of a minimum range of motion of 100° in addition to elbow stability.

Published: May 2022

Статтю присвячено аналізу нової книги Тараса Кременя і Людмили Старовойт про лауреата Шевченківської премії Дмитра Кременя, видану в Миколаєві після смерті поета. Автори доводять, що це дослідження є принципово новим етапом наукового осмислення життя і творчості видатного українського митця, уродженця Закарпаття, де відбулося становлення його літературного таланту й особистості.   У книзі докладно презентовано не лише творчий період, умовно названий ужгородським, позаяк це часи навчання Дмитра Кременя в Ужгородському державному університеті, а й розглянуто, як саме партійно-державна влада намагалася зламати молодого письменника, змусити його відмовитися від своїх мистецьких принципів, від власного поетичного голосу, від уявлення про призначення поета та поезії. Автори аналізують подані в книзі архівні матеріали, спогади друзів й однодумців молодого письменника. Доведено, що видана в Миколаєві книга є новим етапом дослідження спадщини Дмитра Кременя, тому що в її основу покладено принцип періодизації творчості, виявлення естетично-громадської своєрідності відповідного етапу життя і творчості видатного поета.

Multiple studies have documented an inappropriate and excessive use of telemetry during hospitalization. In this IRB approved study, we report the impact of a focused residents led intervention program on reducing inappropriate telemetry use. The study included two groups. The house-staff covered patients (the intervention group) received the intervention. The non-house-staff covered patients did not receive the intervention and served as the control group. The intervention included the implementation of American Heart Association cardiac monitoring guidelines, daily tele-census and indication evaluation, and discussion around telemetry status during multidisciplinary rounds. Data were collected from the pre- (90 day) and post intervention (90 day) periods for both groups. The intervention resulted in a 49% relative decrease in the average telemetry days in the intervention group (pre-intervention=5.7 days vs. post-intervention=2.9 days; p<0.001). The number of patients maintained on telemetry for >48 hours also decreased by 56% in the intervention group. Overall, there were 9 less tele patients/day during the post intervention phase occupying a high cost tele-bed in the intervention group ($8,141 saved/day) and there were 810 less tele patients for the duration of the study. A resident led intervention program reduced inappropriate use of telemetry and minimized costs without compromising patient safety.
Pre-Service Teacher Performance and High-School Student Uptake of Oral Corrective Feedback in EFL Classes in Da Nang
Authors: Nguyen Thi Phuong Uyen , Nguyen Pham Thanh Uyen
Published: May 2022

The study investigates how pre-service EFL teachers at the University of Foreign Language Studies – the University of Danang (UFLS – UD) perceive and perform oral corrective feedback (OCF); as well as how high-school students respond to OCF. The questionnaire was given to a random group of 32 pre-service teachers, ten classroom observations were made, and five trainees were interviewed. The results demonstrate the types, timing, and target errors of OCF given to learners by novice teachers. Furthermore, despite some matches and mismatches between perception and in-class practices of OCF types, the majority of trainee teachers were aware of the significance and efﬁciency of correcting verbal errors. As a result, while there were some cases of needs-repair or no uptake produced by learners, successful repairs recorded predominated. The study concludes with practical recommendations to promote future EFL teachers' feedback-giving practices at UFLS-UD in enhancing their professional growth and students' speaking performances at high schools in Danang.
Worker’s Perception on Ergonomic Workstation Analysis: A Descriptive Study of L-Shaped Desk Usage
Authors: Moriguchi Cristiane , Foltran Fabiana , Gonçalves Josiane
Published: May 2022

Ergonomic conditions and workers comfort during L-shaped desk usage in an occupational environment has not been extensively studied in the literature. Thus, the objective of this study was to describe how workers have spontaneously positioned their VDUs on L-shaped desks and to analyze related ergonomic aspects of the workstation and the worker’s comfort. Thirteen females and one male VDU worker were observed by a physiotherapist ergonomist during their working time and their comfort was evaluated when using the desk on an 11 point scale. Eight workers positioned the VDU on the concave edge of the desk and seven of them reported high levels of comfort. The main reason for workers positively evaluating this desk was the extra space provided by the desk, which increases the working area in relation to the traditional ones. Workers who evaluated their comfort as lower than 7 (n=6) usually maintained the VDU either on the straight part of the desk or on an intermediate area between the concave and the straight part of the desk (n=5). Observations performed during work revealed the need for environmental, organizational and ergonomic rearrangements of the workstation aiming to prevent musculoskeletal disorders among workers who use L-shaped desks.

Published: May 2022

With the globalization of economy, logistics has gained more importance on a global scale and logistics concept has been strengthened worldwide. The corporate world is more competitive every day and it is essential to put logistics as a business strategy. Considering the constant developments and changes in the corporate world, but specifically in this area, the logistics concept gained wider context, according to Di Serio, Sampaio Pereira (2006:4) " the logistics came to be seen as part of the management process supply chain that plans, implements and controls the flow and storage of goods , services and related information from point of origin to point of consumption in order to meet the needs of consumers . In this sense, logistics is presented as a response to the new context of competitiveness, supply chain management or supply chain management - SCM”. But this concept of evolution and constant struggle for competitiveness in current industrial scenario are generating some effects on professionals in this area and consequently also for organizations. Stress and daily workload affecting the quality of work life of these people. Vanderley and Ximenes (2008), claim that stress is the result of a complex reaction of physical and psychological components from exposure to situations that exceed the coping resources of the person. This article will seek to understand the impacts that the excessive workload and consequently the stress of these professionals can generate for logistics results and also to the organization. The research will be conducted in the main large companies in Curitiba, Brazil, and the data collected through interviews with professionals and also by historical records which these companies have.

A Comparative Study of Design Perceptions of Vehicle Cluster Instruments by Designers and Non-Designers in India and Germany
Authors: Kalenahalli Sudarshan Pratap , Kauer Michaela , Bruder Ralph
Published: May 2022

Cultural differences in the perception of products can be studied by using the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) where the idiosyncratic views of individuals are studied. This study examines the perceptions and prioritization of attributes with regard to six existing vehicle cluster instrument designs with thirteen designers each from India and Germany along with thirteen non-designers each from India and Germany (i.e., comparing German designers with Indian non-designers and Indian designers with German non-designers). The elicited constructs from interviews using RGT were categorized according to Hassenzhal’s (2004) Pragmatic and Hedonic qualities and their subcategories. The categorized data was compared along three metrics of Dominance, Importance and Descriptive Richness. Comparing designers and non-designers across cultures indicated differences in perceptions owing to the cultural background and education in design. For example, German designers emphasized the pragmatic aspects in comparison to Indian non-designers. Alternatively, Indian designers placed more importance to the Identification aspects (ex., exclusive, premium, sporty, etc) when compared to German non-designers. The design implications of these findings provide hints to designers on how to go about designing for Indian and German audiences.

Authors: Spundflasch Sebastian , Krömker Heidi
Published: May 2022

Developing a decision support system with the goal of a seamless integration into different existing complex system environments is a very challenging task. Especially if these environments are characterized by a high heterogeneity, a high dynamic of the information to be processed by the working operator and the uniqueness of occurring event situation that requires a non-linear task solving processes. Supporting operators in this context means supporting their decisions by providing an appropriate information basis for the quick and easy assessment of risk and event situations. The aim of this paper is to describe the methodical and the design challenges that occur during the individual phases of the development of such a system for the specific context of tunnel control. The results are based on analytical and empirical studies conducted within a research project on integration of a real-time-security-management-system for tunnel control centers. In order to determine the requirements, a methodical mix of interviews, observation and cognitive walkthroughs was performed in 12 tunnel control centers in Germany, Austria and Luxembourg. During this, the used methods could be refined and adapted to the development of a decision support system for the present context.

Recently, as Internet becomes over ground and most effective for our lives, in higher education, especially information engineering, network and communication are ones of the most important and indispensable subjects for almost all the students to learn in a short period. There are many trials to teach and educate some theoretical and practical understanding of network and communication. In fact, however, network and communication, particularly a viewpoint of Internet, have a very huge scope and include a lot of themes to understand in a relatively short period. So we have developed a limited scope and self-learning oriented facility of application program for e-Learning tool for network/communication study. Our key topics are as follows: Web-based e-Learning tool, Focusing of IP(Internet Protocol), Easy-drawing network topology, Animation of Packet transmission, Illustration of routing mechanism, and so on. We have applied our e-Learning tool into real classroom lectures and had some questionnaires for technical course and beginning course after trial questionnaire for laboratory members. It is confirmed that our e-Learning tool has been significant for learning network/communication based on the above questionnaire.

Authors: Barré Jessy , Buisine Stéphanie , Aoussat Améziane
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we present a new original method to generate user requirements, Persona Logical Thinking (PLT). Because this method combines several ways of reasoning (empathetic thinking and logical thinking), we hypothesized that it would be particularly efficient for multidisciplinary design teams. To test this assumption, we compared PLT to an empathetic method and to a logical method for generating user requirements for tablets in the education field. We organized working sessions of 60 minutes with 4 designers (from student population of engineers, industrial designers and ergonomists). Nine working sessions were conducted with a total of 36 participants (21 males and 15 females aged 25 years old on average). To evaluate the effectiveness of the three methods, we collected two variables: quantity and originality of user requirements, classified into three categories (User's Needs, Product Functions and Technical Solutions). Our results show that teams were more productive with PLT for the generation of product functions (examples: thinness, being powerful, long life battery…), including original functions (be recyclable, be resistant to chemical substances...). These preliminary results being promising for improving the innovation process, we discuss the future steps that would be necessary to validate our method.
Application of a User-Centered Design Approach to the Definition of a Knowledge Base Development Tool
Authors: Simões-Marques Mário , L. Nunes Isabel

Knowledge Bases (KB) are used to store structured and unstructured information about a specific subject. KB are a key element of Expert Systems, a type of Computer-Based Information Systems designed to analyze and offer recommendations and explanations about a specific problem domain, providing support when human experts are not available or helping experts dealing with very demanding and critical problems, usually because of the problem’s complexity, the volume of information processed, and the pressure for short time answers. Developing KB is a quite difficult task, since there is the need to figure out and map, among others, the knowledge elements, organization, context of use, composition and representation, relations, importance and the reasoning processes used to feed the inference process, combining the inputs coming from real world data with such knowledge in order to present the desired outputs. In this paper we propose to address the context and issues involved in defining the requirements for designing a KB development tool, which supports cooperative and participatory processes of knowledge elicitation, which, despite the eventual complexity of the problem at hand, are intuitive and easy to implement. This calls for an approach that carefully considers the principles and methodologies proposed by User-Centered Design.
Ergonomic Design Thinking - Approaching Ergonomics Through a New Way For Performing Innovation in the Workplace
Authors: Silva e Santosa Marcello , M. Soaresb Marcelo
Published: May 2022

Design Thinking is somewhat understood as a tool for acquiring design optimization but still far from being considered as an instrument for competitive advantage. The main idea to that approach is based on the concept that one can apply the kind of thinking designers employ when solving problems to business related or work system optimization. Instead of ordinary decision-making methods, designers resource to iterative processes. This translates into nonlinear reasoning and creative thinking. Thus, according to Design Thinking theory, we can apply innovative schemes and creative actions in the course of carrying out any kind of project, or even business venues. The proposition set forth in here approaches alternative project management methods in which workplace optimization is considered an end user product, like in HFE related processes contexts. Therefore, usability and participatory design is thought to be a necessary demarche to produce and user friendly work environment. A set of successful cases employing the preliminary versions of this “under construction” model, is presented through the text in order to both contextualize the methodology and validate its implementation. Final considerations ask for open participation from HFE professionals and academic community in general for ample consolidation of the model.

Advances in technology have enabled increasingly sophisticated automation to be introduced into the flight decks of modern airplanes. Generally, this automation was added to accomplish worthy objectives such as reducing flightcrew workload, adding additional capability, or increasing fuel economy. To a large extent, these objectives have been achieved. Safety also stood to benefit from the increasing amounts of highly reliable automation. Indeed, the current generation of highly automated transport category airplanes has generally demonstrated an improved safety record relative to the previous generation of airplanes. Vulnerabilities do exist, though, and further safety improvements should be made. To provide a safety target to guide the aviation industry, the Secretary of Transportation and others have expressed the view that the aviation industry should strive for the objective of none accidents. Training standards and currency in manual flying skills may well have deteriorated, but are these changes in proportion to the tasks and situations typical of modern operations, or really at the root of handling related safety concerns.

Guilt! : A word which disrupts accident investigations. In the scenario of aircraft with high degree of automation control which resembles computer consoles, point to the need for further research focused on possible conflicts between the "human logic" and "logical automation" checked in control systems for aircraft. It is very important to consider that the logic of automation was also drafted by pilots, so that this assumption is difficult to validate. A pilot in command of the Airbus blurted that "modern technology was withdrawing men of cockpits. This happened with the radio-telegraph when they got the new communication systems called SSB and VHF. But from there, the pilots were more burdened with the task of transmitting operational information and logistics companies, diluting attention at critical moments of the flight, in congested terminal areas. Also happened with the navigator when new systems arise like Omega and Doppler Radar. Over a sequence of operations adjustments and manipulations more equipment were transferred to the pilots on this occasion, adding to the known and the complex and overloaded duties of these professionals. This also happened with the mechanics of flight (the third man in the cockpit), when computers arrived. Until the 70s there was a work station flight engineer.

Published: May 2022

This 12-months follow-up study aimed to investigate the incidence of low back pain (LBP) and the relations of workstation dimensions and workers anthropometry to LBP among office workers. Participants were 159 office workers from Khon Kaen University of Thailand. Data were collected by use of interview structured questionnaires, baseline measurements of workstation dimensions and anthropometric parameters. The finding of 12 months LBP incidence was 83.0%. The linear regression analysis for the linearity of the relationship between workstation dimensions and anthropometric parameters of office workers identified the linearity significance between the seat height and the popliteal height as well as the workspace (workstation) width and the sitting elbow height. The correlations of specific factors with LBP were analyzed by using t-test and chi-square test. The popliteal height, the buttock-popliteal length and the elbow height of LBP cases were significant smaller than those of non cases. The body mass index (BMI), the workspace width and the difference between the seat depth and buttock-popliteal length were significantly contributed to the occurrence of LBP. The findings are very useful for the design of the sedentary workstation. The suggestion is that the seat and workstation area should be optimized to individual worker in order to prevent LBP among office workers.
Ergonomic Recommendations for the Design of Pacifiers
Authors: Stüdeli Thomas
Published: May 2022

Pacifiers are everyday companions for babies and toddlers. General safety requirements to reduce the risk of accidents with pacifiers are described in three European Standards (EN 1400-1/2/3 (2002)) and in the US Requirements for Pacifiers (1996). Next to these “general safety requirements” various recommendations on the use of pacifiers to reduce the risk of negative health effects have been formulated. In contrast to this, only few design recommendations for pacifiers have been published so far and most of them are focusing on or are limited to specific risks or user needs. This paper describes ergonomic design recommendations that have been derived from an analysis of the anatomical, physiological and psychological user needs. This work in the field of Ergonomics / Human Factors Engineering is based on literature search, screening of existing pacifier design solutions and interviews with parents and experts. Due to the fast development of infants and toddlers, the user needs on pacifiers are described age-dependent. The ergonomic design recommendations are written in the style of “general ergonomic requirements” focusing on the basic needs and well-being of the user and the usability of the product. These requirements should complement existing safety guidelines and use recommendations for pacifiers and aim to support the development of a new generation of pacifiers. To conclude, this paper describes some basic elements of a User Centered Design process for pacifiers for the redesign of an entire pacifier product family.

This paper aims to present the results of a critical diagnosis about the presence of human factors and ergonomics contents into the academic curricula of industrial/product design in Portugal. This study is part of a PhD research focused on product design curricula’s adequacy to business challenges. Based on the gathering and interpretation of several Portuguese design education curricula, it turns out that the introduction of the practice of HFE is rarely linked with the design studio course, operating isolated, mostly as a theoretical course. However, the approach of human factors and ergonomics should be more practical and better linked with the design studio curricular unit. As previous conclusions of this study one can point out that there are better results in the education field when the HFE principles are earlier transmitted in the education process, which would have clear impacts on the quality and nature of the proposed design solutions, adding value to the final product. This way, students could be more prepared to respond with more social sustainable projects, increasing the chances of being more prepared and adjusted to the market and its demands.

Design activities are becoming more scattered in place due to the development in technology and globalization of resources. As a result, the Computer Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW) for design, is not only required to adopt suitable technical products and systems to effectively support designers’ work, but also the remote collaborative _ team mental model factors affecting theory required to deeper exploration for designers team. Team mental models as cognitive variables of a team get attention in recent years. The concept that the team mental models can help team improve performance has been 20 years of history, but so far the team mental models theory has not yet formed a relatively complete system. The current measurement methods of team mental models are mostly static, individually measured for each team member's mind and then unity. This is tantamount to default team mental models are all members’ mental model of simple addition, ignored the team interactive processes effects obviously. This paper will be based on the current study of team mental models, through investigate the designers’ mental model of the same team, to analyze the team mental model factors of designers working in distributed environment, then establish corresponding reference models as well.
