Email Literacy in Higher Education Institutions: A Case Study on Student-Instructor Email Communication at Dhofar University in Oman
Authors: Algryani Ali , Al Jardani Khalid Salim
Published: July 2023

Email is one of the means via which students in higher education institutions (HEIs) liaise with instructors to enquire about course materials, assignments, upcoming assessments and seek advice on personal or academic matters. The current study is an attempt to investigate student-instructor email communication focusing on the problematic aspects in students’ emails that affect the process of communication. The study is based on the analysis of one-hundred email messages composed and sent by undergraduate students to their instructors at Dhofar University in Oman. It is concluded that student email messages are often characterized by lack email etiquette rules, linguistic inaccuracies and traits of texting and instant messaging mediums. Several student messages, for instance, lack proper email layout and contain grammar, spelling and punctuation mistakes, indicating that reviewing emails before sending them to teachers does not take place. In addition, informal features such as use of informal vocabulary, excessive use of punctuation marks, non-standard spelling, emojis and emoticons, which reflect unawareness of formality, professionalism and university setting etiquette, are noticeable in students’ email messages. Therefore, pedagogical intervention with respect to acquisition of skills required for writing and perceiving emails is recommended. Education and guidance on the conventions governing email communication can help students communicate more effectively and professionally via email in HEIs, which will promote not only decent practices but also future employability opportunities.

Authors: S Vidhyapathy. , Dwivedi Laxmidhar
Published: July 2023

This research paper explores the creative metaphorical dimensions of the novel "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville. Through his imaginative metaphorical dimensions, Melville, a brilliant artist, has demonstrated a healthy relationship between the temporal and the eternal. The novelist's best work results from the fusion of Naturalistic Truth and figurative aspects. In this case, Moby Dick is both a novel and an experience of Ahab to discover the white whale. It is brimming with oceanic imagery and symbolic depths. Metaphorical dimensions in this book are based on both people and things. The Natural, Conventional, and Private metaphorical dimensions are the three different types. In this paper that demonstrates the white whale, the mechanism of metaphorical dimensions has been employed in the shape of agony and suffering. Moby Dick's malevolent disposition and attempts to inflict destruction throughout the text make it a secret Metaphorical dimension of an unclear creature.

Authors: Tran Du Thanh , Thanh Nhan Đo
Published: July 2023

Nowadays, code-switching is a common and intricate phenomenon. Together with the rise of increasingly bilingual and multilingual communities, code-switching has become a critical linguistic and academic issue. The purposes of this study are to discover the features of code-switching toward male English learners on the impact of their first language and second language, to investigate the features of code-switching toward female English learners on the impact of their language (L1) and second language (L2), and to identify the differences and similarities in code-switching between male and female English learners on the impact of their first language (L1) and second language (L2). A total of 100 students from two universities in Binh Duong province was included in the study. The data were collected quantitatively and qualitatively through a mixed-method study using the tools of a questionnaire (for students) and a semi-structured interview (for teachers and students in charge of the experimental classes). According to the study results, English-majored students could only occasionally switch from L1 to L2 language during discussions and may require more effort to acquire higher IELTS scores. Furthermore, English-majored students rarely convert from their native tongue to another second language and should regard English as the classroom instruction language. However, alternating between native and L2 languages is beneficial.
A Systematic Literature Review on the Translator’s Voice
Authors: Guo Xiaohui , Ang Lay Hoon , Xie Chaoqun
Published: July 2023

The translator’s voice, although ubiquitous in translation, is not clearly determined when it is applied to translation practices because translator’s voice and translation practices are not conceptually connected. This systematic review focuses on the body of literature regarding the translator’s voice. In this study, academic articles from 1996 to 2023 are surveyed by a criteria pre-set; in addition, a qualitative synthesis of the findings is conducted. Through description and analysis of the titles, abstracts, keywords, and full papers of the selected 50 academic articles based on a PRISMA flow (2020), this research systematically assesses the studies on translator’s voice from the past 27 years. It systematically searched all the related studies in two databases: the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Scopus (which are both accessible). It reveals: (1) more conceptual studies, more of which are unrelated to translation practices, are found; and (2) topics related to narratology are the most studied research objectives of the entire body of the studies covering the translator’s voice. Therefore, empirical studies and the translator’s voice in translated texts which are close related to translation techniques can both be highlighted in future research efforts. Future studies relating the translator’s voice to translation practices are needed so that translator’s voice can clearly present a translator’s creativity.

Published: July 2023

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a leading cause of disability worldwide, and effective management is necessary to improve clinical outcomes. Many long-standing therapies including early reduction and spinal cord decompression, methylprednisolone administration, and optimization of spinal cord perfusion have been around for decades; however, their efficacy has remained controversial because of limited high-quality data. This review article highlights studies surrounding the role of early surgical decompression and its role in relieving mechanical pressure on the microvascular circulation thereby reducing intraspinal pressure. Furthermore, the article touches on the current role of methylprednisolone and identifies promising studies evaluating neuroprotective and neuroregenerative agents. Finally, this article outlines the expanding body of literature evaluating mean arterial pressure goals, cerebrospinal fluid drainage, and expansive duroplasty to further optimize vascularization to the spinal cord. Overall, this review aims to highlight evidence for SCI treatments and ongoing trials that may markedly affect SCI care in the near future.

Published: July 2023

Renewable energy is seen as a potential option to offset the rate at which natural resources are being depleted. As a result, investment and development of renewable energy sources such as wind, solar and biogas have grown substantially. While wind and solar are being used more efficiently as technology advances rapidly, and the research and application of biogas production are also being explored. Biogas is a green energy source produced from the decomposition of organic materials such as food waste and animal manure. In this study, the potential for bench-scale biogas production was investigated using boiled rice wastewater as the primary feedstock. Considering parameters such as ambient temperature, control temperature, and pH of the feedstock, three experimental setups were carried out. The findings suggest the potential of biogas from boiled rice wastewater as the primary raw material. Temperature, pH, and HRT are all important factors in biogas production. This study observed that boiled rice wastewater feed could generate 2.97 liters of biogas per litre of raw material.

Published: July 2023

The power system should ensure safe and consistent power to the customer. For secure operation, the voltage should be within the desired limits, or else it will result in voltage collapse and power losses. The power system will be more competent, economic, reliable, and reduce power losses if the voltage stability is enhanced. Since the voltage stability is determined by the reactive power of the network, a reactive power source should be provided to safeguard the stability of the power system. This paper presents the enhancement of voltage stability in the power system using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The GA approach is used to find the optimal value of control variables such as generator bus voltage, shunt capacitance, and transformer tap setting which are the source of reactive power. The GA was executed via MATLAB programming with MATPOWER. The propounded method was tested on the western grid of Bhutan to minimize the real power losses. The results demonstrate improved voltage stability in the power system and a significant reduction in power losses. The results will help Power System Operators to make a better decision while encountering voltage issues in their power lines. Moreover, this research will guide future research in dealing with similar research especially in calculating the optimal location of FACT devices for reactive power compensation.

Authors: Wangchuk Karma , Dorji Cheku , Lhendup Dr. Tshewang
Published: July 2023

This study focuses on the modelling and simulation of an existing active forced circulation solar water heating system in the College of Science and Technology under the Royal University of Bhutan. The installed prototype solar system consists of five flat-panel collectors connected in parallel, with a gross surface area of 10 m2, and a 500-litre water storage tank with a built-in heat exchanger to preheat the water in the student mess. The TRNSYS (Transient System Simulation Software) program is used to model and simulate an identical replica of the installed system. The simulation model is validated by comparing the simulation results with actual measurements. The effects of hot tank temperature and stagnation are simulated. When the temperature of the hot tank reaches a preset value of 60 °C, the circulation pump is turned off, causing the temperature of the solar collector to increase exponentially to stagnation. However, by increasing the hot tank set temperature to 80 ˚C, the stagnation time could be extended by two hours, during which the system can generate 25.425 kWh of thermal energy, while 60 ˚C provides only 18.45 kWh. The overall efficiency of the system increased from 27.13% to 37.88%.

A total population size of 43 questionnaires (29 students and 14 workplace supervisors) were issued and all were returned. The data were analyzed using a Relative Index of Importance (RII) which provides a descriptive interpretation of the most important variables in this research. It was observed from the view of the organization that such training improved the student’s skills in formal and informal communication, help to find a research area for their projects, ability to socialize, and sustained the relationship. In the view of the students, It has been observed that the training improved the students’ confidence in tackling problems and provides the need for continuous learning. Also, observed that inadequate duration and insufficient stipend were the major concerns students expressed during their internship. It has been concluded that industrial experience gained from the OJT help to improve the student’s ability and knowledge gained which can provide the basis for a successful career after graduation from college. It was recommended that OJT should be seen as a tool to improve students’ abilities.

While many people with disabilities can benefit from power wheelchairs, some people with disabilities find it difficult or impossible to use a basic power wheelchair. To serve this group, several researchers have developed "smart wheelchairs" that use technologies originally developed for mobile robots to reduce the physical, perceptual, and cognitive skills needed to operate a motorized wheelchair. Smart Wheelchairs are mechanically controlled devices that can move on their own with the help of a user command. This reduces the user's human effort and force required to push the wheelchair wheels. It also allows visually or physically disabled people to move from one location to another. The wheelchair also has an obstacle detection system, which reduces the likelihood of a collision while traveling.
Հայ-աղվանական զինակցությունը պարսկական տիրապետության դեմ (V դարի կեսին)

Наряду с навязыванием закавказским странам системы марзпанства (персидская административная единица) Сасанидская Персия с середины V в. предприняла попытку искоренения христианства и окончательного утверждения зороастризма в Армении, Алуанке (Арран) и Вирке (Картли). Но, как и следовало ожидать, это вызвало противостояние названных стран, вылившееся в восстание. Пытаясь силой подчинить их своей воле, персидская армия во главе с Себухтом в начале осени 450 г. захватила Алуанк, но в октябре того же года армянская армия под командованием спарапета (верховный главнокомандующий войск) Вардана Мамиконяна нанесла сокрушительный удар по численно превосходившей персидской армии и освободила Алуанк. Успешно завершив военный поход на Чора пахак (Каспийские ворота, Дербентский проход), спарапет заключил также союз с гуннами, дабы в дальнейшем объединенными силами оказать сопротивление персам. Однако персидскому двору и марзпану (наместник) Армении Васаку Сюни удалось «лишить» восставших возможных союзников, в частности, отрекшийся от своей веры алуанкский царь Ваче II встал на путь предательства, и уже 26 мая 451 г. в Аварайрской битве армяне остались один на один против превосходящих сил персов. Свои союзнические обязательства выполнили лишь гунны, вторгшись в северные провинции Персии, но персам удалось дать отпор и восстановить персидское господство в Закавказье. Along with the imposition of the marzpan system (administrative unit) on the regional countries, the Persian royal court, from the middle of the 5th century, made an attempt to eradicate Christianity and establish Zoroastrianism in Armenia, Caucasian Albania and Virk. But, as expected, this caused a confrontation between the above mentioned countries, which culminated in an uprising. Trying to force them to submit to their will, the Persian army led by Sebukht captured Caucasian Albania in the early autumn of 450, but in October of the same year, Armenian army under the command of sparapet (supreme commander of the armed forces) Vardan Mamikonyan dealt a crushing blow to the numerically superior Persian army and liberated Caucasian Albania. Having successfully completed the military campaign against Chorapahak (Caspian Gates, the Derbent passage), the sparapet also concluded an alliance with the Huns in order to further resist the Persians with united forces. However, the Persian royal court and the marzpan (viceroy) Vasak Syuni managed to “deprive” the rebels of possible allies. In particular, the king of Caucasian Albania Vache II, who renounced his faith, embarked on the path of betrayal, and on May 26, 451, in the Battle of Avarayr, the Armenians were left face to face against the superior forces of the Persians. Only the Huns fulfilled their allied obligations by invading the northern provinces of Persia, but the Persians managed to fight back and restore Persian rule in Transcaucasia.
Քրդերի և Քրդստանի միջնադարյան շրջանի պատմության մի շարք հարցեր քննական լույսի ներքո

История курдов средневековой эпохи изучена сравнительно плохо. Основная причина этого – недостаточность или почти полное отсутствие источников. Средневековые арабские источники приводят данные об истории курдов только начиная с эпохи Омеядского халифата (661–750 гг.). По этому вопросу более ранние упоминания не дошли до нас, вероятно, по причине отсутствия. Из средневековых армянских авторов Маттеос Ураеци является первым автором, который в своем труде под названием «Хронология» упоминает этническое название «курд». В дальнейшем, начиная с XII века, этноним «курд» регулярно употребляется в армянских источниках.
The medieval period of the Kurdish people is relatively less studied. The main reason for this is the scarcity or almost complete absence of sources. The Arabic medieval sources referred to the history of kurds since the period of Umayyad Caliphate (661–750 CE). Earlier references, on this issue, have not come down to us, probably, due to their lack. Among the medieval Armenian authors, Matteos Urhaetsi was the first to mention ethnic name “kurd” in his “Chronicle”. In the future, beginning from the XII century, the ethnonym “kurd” was regularly used in the Armenian sources.

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Neonates face a lot of challenges especially based on their gestational age, maternal factors, birth weight at the time of delivery, immediate cry following birth. H ypoxic ischemic encephalopathy and Germinal matrix haemorrhage constitutes major portion of those challenges. To identify varied conditions, we can take help of imaging in form of neurosonogram. METHODS : Neurosonogram was carried out on all n tool including followeonates both as screening and diagnostic up scans. A total of 100 preterm babies with positive findings were included in the study. An analysis was performed over different pathologies including grading of specific condition in requir ed areas. RESULTS: Our study comprising of 100 neonates with brain pathologies showed following results. In our study of 100 neonates, most of the disease burden is by vascular causes (56%), then followed by infective (19%), congenit al (14%), trauma (8%), metabolic (2%) and miscellaneous (2%). 52% of PVL showed associated risk factors. CONCLUSION: In our study 100 preterm babies with suspected brain injuries were studied with ultrasound through anterior fontanelle and mastoid sutures. Neurosonogram can detect various intracranial pathologies on par with CT scan . Transcranial doppler can reflect the cerebral blood volume and perfusion status through RESISTIVE INDEX and abnormal values according to literature are >0.8 and <0.4 and can be noticed in severe HIE and conditions which increases intracranial pressure . Any measure that decreases the vasospasm which decreases RI can eventually prevent the neonate having progression of ischemia and further new infarct. 1

Authors: K Fakiha , A Aljahdali , L Nouri
Published: July 2023

Background: Despite the advances in treating burn injuries, burn severity remains one of the most challenging cases to be treated. As technologies advances, regenerative therapies using stem cells have been established and found to be effective and friendly as a regenerative tool. Stromal vascular fraction (SVF), extracted from adipose tissue, has a great potential for multipotent mesenchymal stem cells differentiation. Recent research has determined the therapeutic effects of SVF on burn injury. Previous finding has proved the efficacy of using SVF that is isolated enzymatically. This research aimed to examine the efficacy of allogenic mechanically isolated (MI) SVF in treating deep partial-thickness burns in a Wistar rat. Materials and Methods: After burn induction, 45 rats were divided into three groups of 15 as follows: group one (control, treated with phosphate-buffered saline), group two (treated with silver sulfadiazine (SSD), and group three (injected with SVF). SVF was harvested from the inguinal fat pad of six rats and mechanically processed. All injections were administered intradermally at the four edges of the burn to cover the entire wound bed. Morphological and histopathological analyses were performed for all groups at three different time points (4, 8, and 32 d post-treatment).
Results: Treatment with MI SVF significantly reduced edema formation and dryness of the wound bed on day one compared to the control (P = 0.001). Histopathological results showed that SVF significantly reduced inflammation compared to the control (P = 0.045) on day one and increased neovascularization on day 8 (P = 0.016). Epithelial thickness was significantly greater in the SVF group compared to the SSD group (P = 0.034). Conclusions: The results of this study indicated the therapeutic potential of MI SVF on deep-partial-thickness burns by increasing neovascularization and epithelial thickness and reducing inflammation.

The article examines the role of medical education, regulatory requirements and effective practices in ensuring the quality of healthcare services in medical practice and dentistry. The authors indicate that these factors directly affect the quality
of medical care in any country of the world. By studying the structure of the issue, the researchers identify to what extent this or that indicator has an impact on increasing patient satisfaction with the medical services provided, on increasing awareness of medical workers of the work they perform on the medical care of the population. An important role, according to the authors, is played by the results of the assimilation of educational programs by future doctors, as well as the effectiveness of their activities in internship and residency. Special emphasis is placed on the need to develop communication and ethical skills in future therapists and dentists. Regulations and standards in the field of medicine, as noted in the work, also play an important role in the organization of high-quality patient care in medical organizations of different levels. Also, various innovations in the field of digitalization of the process of providing medical services play a leading role in the field of medical care, especially in the field of therapy and dentistry. It is for this reason that the study of best practices, as well as the experience of Russian and foreign colleagues, makes it possible to expand the scope of their activities by applying innovative tools and approaches in the field of patient treatment. In general, the prospects of these areas of improving the quality of patient care in the field of dentistry and therapy will not only achieve this goal, but also increase the pace of development of these medical fields, which will favorably affect, in general, the development of domestic medicine.

Introduction : Cette étude avait pour objectif de décrire les homicides survenus à domicile à Abidjan afin d’assurer une meilleure prévention de ce type de décès.Matériel et Méthodes : Il s’agissait d’une étude rétrospective et descriptive réalisée sur une période de 06 ans (2015 à 2020) et portant sur les personnes décédées à domicile des suites d’un homicide et ayant fait l’objet d’un examen externe et/ou d’une autopsie médico-légale.Résultats : Les homicides à domicile représentaient 29,8% (85 cas/285) de l’ensemble des morts violentes survenues à domicile sur la période d’étude. La majorité des victimes appartenait à la tranche d’âge de 25 à 34 ans (40%), de sexe masculin (66%), célibataire (47%), commerçants (38,8%), issue du secteur informel (41,2%). Ces homicides survenaient le plus souvent les lundis (29,4%) et les dimanches (23,5%), la nuit (18 heures et 5 heures 59 minutes) (70,6%). Les auteurs et leurs victimes avaient un lien direct (65,9%) notamment d’association de malfaiteurs (43,5%), indirect (homicides commandités) (22,3%) ou inconnu (11,8%). Les décès survenaient dans un contexte de vol suivi de violences (48,2%), de braquage (24,7%) et de règlement de compte (20%) rarement de violence conjugale (7,1%) pouvant cacher des cas de féminicide. Il s’agissait de morts traumatiques (91,8%) le plus souvent consécutives à des plaies provoquées par armes blanches (57,6%), notamment les instruments piquants et tranchants (50%) et par armes à feu (27%) utilisant les cartouches à balles (24,4%). Quelques fois, il s’agissait d’asphyxies mécaniques (8,2%) par strangulation (5,8%).ConclusionLa prévention des homicides domestiques nécessite l’implication des gouvernants pour un renforcement des mesures sécuritaires des domiciles.
DES VICTIMES ENTRE DEUX FEUX : LES VICTIMES D’INCENDIES
Authors: TOUTIN Thierry
Published: July 2023

A partir d’une dizaine d’incendies constatés sur le terrain, nous observerons combien les conséquences d’un sinistre peuvent être dramatiques pour les victimes. Dans une dizaine d’autres incendies, accidentels ou criminels, une série de six questions ont été posées aux victimes afin de recueillir leur ressenti après le préjudice subi. Il en ressort que la victime d’un incendie, comme n’importe qu’elle victime, reste traumatisée par les faits, mais elle présente une particularité. Cette particularité concerne la perte d’un patrimoine sentimental. Elle laisse place à une immense tristesse, un chagrin inconsolable lié à la perte irréversible de biens, parfois sans aucune valeur vénale. Mais si ces biens n’ont pas de valeur vénale ils ont une valeur affective, morale, à laquelle les victimes tiennent plus que tout au monde et qu’aucune indemnisation ne viendra remplacer. Même si l’indemnisation financière contribue à la cicatrisation psychologique du préjudice subi, les séquelles demeurent indélébiles.
Türkiye’de Sendikalaşmanın Emeğin Gelir Payı Üzerindeki Etkisi: 1990-2022
Authors: KARACA Orhan
Published: July 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye’de sendikalaşmanın emeğin toplam gelirdeki payı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışmada 1990-2022 dönemi için analizler yapılmıştır. Üç alternatif emek payı göstergesi hesaplanmış ve iki model kullanılarak sendikalaşma oranının bu göstergeler üzerindeki etkisi tahmin edilmiştir. Birinci model, kontrol değişkenleri olarak, çalışan başına reel GSYH’nin logaritması ile ihracat ve ithalat toplamının GSYH’ye oranını da içermektedir. Bunlardan birincisi teknolojik değişmenin ikincisi küreselleşmenin göstergesidir. İkinci modelde, net asgari ücretteki değişim, enflasyon ve ekonomik büyüme de kontrol değişkenleri olarak yer almaktadır. Ekonometrik yöntem olarak ARDL modelleri kullanılmış, modeldeki değişkenler arasında eşbütünleşme olup olmadığı sınır testi kullanılarak incelenmiş ve bu ilişkinin varlığı belirlendikten sonra uzun dönem katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular Türkiye’de sendikalaşma oranının emek payı üzerinde pozitif etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca küreselleşmenin ve teknolojik değişmenin emek payını negatif etkilediğine ilişkin kanıtlar bulunmuştur. Ek olarak, enflasyonun emek payı üzerinde negatif ve net asgari ücretteki değişmenin pozitif etkisi olduğuna ilişkin bulgular elde edilmiştir. Bulgular Türkiye’de son 30 yılda emek payında yaşanan düşüşün büyük ölçüde sendikalaşma oranındaki gerilemeyle açıklanabileceğine işaret etmektedir. Emek payını arttırmak ve gelir dağılımını iyileştirmek için öncelikle sendikalaşmanın önündeki engellerin kaldırılması gerekmektedir

Denizcilik sektöründe yakın gelecekte yaşanacak olan gemiadamı arz-talep dengesindeki sıkıntı gemilerde çalışacak gemiadamına olan ihtiyacı her geçen gün arttırmaktadır. Bu durumun önüne geçmek için denizcilik mesleğinin insana yakışan şartlarda icra edilmesi gerekmektedir. Uluslararası Denizcilik Örgütü (IMO) ve Uluslararası Çalışma Örgütü (ILO) denizcilikteki insan kaynaklarının şartlarını iyileştirmek için MLC konvansiyonunu çıkarmıştır. Bu konvansiyon ile denizcilikle ilgili insan kaynakları yönetimi alanında yeni kurallar getirilmiş ve insana yakışır bir çalışma ortamı hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışma ile Türk Bayraklı gemilerin MLC konvansiyonu kapsamında eksikliklerinin neler olduğu tespit edilerek çözüm önerileri sunulması amaçlanmıştır. MLC konvansiyonunu kabul sürecinde oluşturulacak strateji ve politikaların belirlenmesi ülkemizin ekonomik ve ticari politikaları açısından önemlidir. Bu kapsamda Türk Bayraklı gemilerin Paris MoU kapsamında eksiklik tespit edilen denetim raporları (n=376) doküman analizi yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Analizler ile elde edilen sonuca göre devlet politikaları belirlenerek MLC standartlarına uyumun sağlanması konusunda işletmeler teşvik edilmelidir. Bilinçli ve sürdürülebilir politikalar ile işletmelerin yönetim anlayışı değiştirilmeli ve gemiadamlarının yaşam ve çalışma koşulları iyileştirilmelidir. Gemiadamlarının haklarını savunabilecekleri sendikalaşma haklarının oluşturulması ve şikâyet mekanizmalarının kurulması gerekmektedir. Türkiye Cumhuriyeti’nin ülke menfaatlerine uygun olan konvansiyonlara taraf olup gerekli yatırımları yaparak modern ve örnek gösterilen bir filoya sahip olması sağlanmalıdır.

Çalışma hayatının önemli sorunlarından biri, çalışanların sağlık ve güvenliklerinin sağlanması ve sağlıklı bir ortamda çalışma olanağının yaratılmasıdır. İşyerinde kaza ve hastalık riskinin en aza indirgenmesi ve riskler gerçekleşmeden çalışanların korunması, iş sağlığı ve güvenliğinin de temel amacını oluşturmaktadır. İş sağlığı ve güvenliğinin etkin bir şekilde sağlanabilmesi için, denetimlerin yapılması ve risklerin varlığı halinde işverence önlem alınması gereklidir. Bu amaçla işyerinde görevlendirilen iş güvenliği uzmanlarının görevlerini gereği gibi yerine getirmeleri ve mesleki açıdan tam bir bağımsızlığa sahip olmaları önem taşır. Mesleki bağımsızlığa ilişkin mevzuatta kanuni düzenleme ve sınırlı çerçevede kanuni bir güvence getirilmiş olmakla birlikte, uzmanların bağımsızlığının tam olarak sağlanabildiğini söylemek güçtür. Özellikle uzmanların ücretlerini işverenden almaları ve feshe karşı korunmalarını sağlamak amacıyla etkili ve özel bir iş güvencesi sisteminin bulunmaması, mesleki bağımsızlık içerisinde görevlerini yerine getirmelerini olumsuz yönde etkilemektedir. Çalışmamızda genel olarak iş güvenliği uzmanlarının mesleki bağımsızlığı konusu incelenmeye, uygulamada bu alanda doğan sorunlar tespit edilmeye ve bu sorunlara çözüm aranmaya çalışılacaktır.
