Published: January 2024

In response to the rising incidence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) across diverse work environments, extensive research has been undertaken. Within the apparel sector, initiatives have included workstation redesigns to alleviate worker strain. Emphasis has also been placed on formulating explicit ergonomic risk assessment standards, particularly for roles associated with heavy machinery, exemplified by container terminal operators. The agricultural domain, particularly manual farming activities in Haryana, India, has been studied to comprehend the distinct challenges encountered. The ergonomic implications for fish processing laborers, subjected to cold, damp conditions and repetitive tasks, have also been examined. Notably, the integration of biomechanics instrumentation in occupational health offers insights into refining human work-related movements for improved health. Scrutiny has been extended to varied workplaces, like flour production units and oil and gas enterprises, to discern MSD origins and propose corrective measures. With technological advancements, ergonomics now employs sophisticated tools such as computerized dynamometers for precise risk evaluations. Detailed biomechanics assessments further elucidate the physical demands on workers. Other industries, including textiles, have seen ergonomic appraisals aiming to diminish manual task strains, while the labor-intensive dairy farming sector has also been evaluated. Cumulatively, these comprehensive research endeavors pave the way for a more informed approach, suggesting preventive and mitigative strategies against MSDs across sectors.

Authors: Góra Tomasz , Pluto-Prądzyńska Agnieszka
Published: January 2024

Background and purpose. The aim of this study is to assess the development of scientific production and to define the thematic scope of research in martial arts biomechanics. The research process focuses on the following research questions: how has research productivity developed in the field of martial arts biomechanics research, who are the main participants (countries, authors) in the accumulation of research product in the field, what are the leading thematic areas that attract the most academic attention.

Material and Methods. In the process of selecting the research sample, the Scopus database was used as a source of bibliometric data. The research sample consisted of publications containing the phrases 'biomechanics martial arts in their titles or keywords. A general profiling of publications was carried out to assess trends in scientific production and recognition of leading contributors in the field of research. MS Excel software was used to support the analysis process and visualise the results.

Results. The study shows that martial arts biomechanics is a field of research with a relatively short history. The first reports date back to the 1990s. The greatest interest in this subject is among authors from the United States, which is the undisputed leader here just ahead of Brazil and Poland. Most scientific articles of this type appear mainly in the medical and health sciences.

Conclusions. It can be seen from the review that the number of articles on martial arts biomechanics is increasing, but fluctuating. This may be due to access to specialised apparatus, without which a precise analysis of the kinetics of human movement and thus of martial arts athletes is not possible. An analysis of the literature on the subject shows that in the collection analysed, kinetic description is not one of the issues represented too often. It has been noted that in the Scopus database on 1991 to 2020, more than 3900 articles on martial arts can be found, with only 187 concerning the biomechanics of martial arts, which constitutes 5 percentage of the entire collection.

Hybrid Warfare: Strategies and Counterstrategies in the India-Pakistan Rivalry
Authors: Matloob Natasha , Matloob Nayab , Ishaq Sumbal
Published: January 2024

Hybrid Warfare represents a sophisticated amalgamation of diverse warfare strategies, seamlessly blending both conventional and non-conventional techniques. This nuanced approach encompasses an array of tactics, incorporating elements from fake news to cybercrimes, civil unrest to economic warfare, and diplomacy to separatist movements. Also recognized as asymmetrical or new-generation warfare, its primary objective is not confrontation but to meticulously identify and exploit the fault lines, vulnerabilities, and trigger points within the targeted nation. Pakistan has been subject to hybrid security threats from its historic rival India since the day of independence. The paper sheds light on Indian hybrid warfare against Pakistan which broadly encompasses political and diplomatic support to the separatist movements, targeted campaigns on social media, and hindering the timely completion of CPEC and other developmental projects. Given the intensity of hybrid security threats and their fall-flanged impact on the peace, development, and security of the state, the article has attempted to provide comprehensive policy options for Pakistan to effectively counter the hybrid threats.
Productive Zakat As An Alternative Islamic Social Financial Instrument In Community Economic Empowerment Reflection Of The Covid-19 Era
Authors: Siregar Dina Arfianti , Siregar Saparuddin , Marliyah Marliyah
Published: January 2024

The Muslim population that has great potential in giving zakat is Indonesia. One of the functions of zakat is as a social fund that can be used to overcome social problems such as poverty that occurs in society. Of course, an appropriate formulation is needed to utilize zakat assets to overcome these social problems. Among the efforts is to build a paradigm that the use of zakat must be productive, educational, and economical so that in the end, zakat recipients (mustah}iq) will leave the mustahiq zone and will automatically enter the mandatory zakat zone (muzak). Productive zakat is giving zakat that can make recipients produce something continuously through the zakat assets they have received. This program can not only help underprivileged people. However, it can also enable people who have been economically deprived and have always been zakat recipients to change their position to become muzakki. This research describes productive zakat and its empowerment in Indonesia. Apart from that, we also found that productive zakat is very powerful in playing its role as one of the sharia financial instruments in Indonesia in empowering and alleviating poverty through the philanthropic institutions that support it.

Among the Sustainable Development Goals, SDG-11 calls for a variety of initiatives to build sustainable cities for cities and their communities. The main agenda of SDG-11 is to make cities and human settlements more inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. The  main objective of this study is to map the road network and road density of the Bil Baghil Basin using GIS and remote sensing (mainly  satellite images) in urban areas and assess the accessibility of public transport to the public for sustainable development goal 11  (SDG-11) to assess and map the current status in order to achieving SDG indicator 11.2.1. SDG Indicator 11.2.1 strives to provide safe,  affordable, accessible, and sustainable transportation networks for all, increase road safety, notably through the growth of public  transportation, and respond to the needs of women, children, people with disabilities, and the elderly in crisis situations. In order to  ensure a sustainable transportation system it is important to determine route designs and density. Here a very high resolution (30 cm)  satellite image called WorldView-03 along with Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics is used to determine the road network pattern of  the study area. As the Bil Baghil basin is a fully urbanized area which has already rapidly changed into an urban area resulting  maximum amount of agricultural land, water bodies, forests and open areas in the region have all decreased. According to the  research findings, the study area has three types of road networks- katca, pucca and semi-pucca, of which semi-pucca roads are the  most and pucca roads are the least. Some areas have high population density as well as dense road network but no bus stops for  transport accessibility. The percentage of overall transport accessibility for the study area is 35.68% and the percentage of inaccessible  area is 64.22%. The survey area has very few areas with high transport accessibility and the percentage of population with high transport accessibility is also very low. The study area has only 10 bus stops which did not cover the entire study area. For higher  transport accessibility it is necessary to build more bus stops in the study area. Which will make this place more convenient for the  movement of its residents.

Authors: Marcelita Faldiena , Mindara Gema Parasti , Noviyanti Inna , Sholihah Walidatush , Buono Agus
Published: January 2024

Dry bamboo leaves are selected as a planting medium for ornamental plants to enhance nutrient content and improve soil drainage. Before being processed into fertilizer, dry bamboo leaves need to be shredded first. The leaf counting process for planting ornamental plants in villages still relies on manual methods such as using knives and scissors, which can be time-consuming and less effective. In response to this issue, a device for shredding dry bamboo leaves has been developed to improve efficiency and facilitate the leaf counting process. The innovation created is a household-scale dry bamboo leaf shredder that is more affordable and easy to mobilize due to its compact dimensions and lighter weight. The device is also easy to operate, as the shredding occurs when it is closed, and the process stops when it is opened, ensuring safe use for various users. The manual control of bamboo leaf weight and counting duration results in inconsistent shredding outcomes. Therefore, development has been carried out on the dry bamboo leaf shredder with artificial intelligence capabilities, specifically using fuzzy logic to automate the counting duration based on the size and weight of the bamboo leaves being inputted.

Published: January 2024

Di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP) hóa chất thuộc họ Phthalates, thường được sử dụng trong các ngành công nghiệp hiện đại với nhiều công dụng. Nó được sử dụng như một phụ gia cho chất kết dính. DBP có thể hòa tan trong các dung môi hữu cơ khác nhau như trong rượu, ete và benzene. Ngoài ra DBP còn được sử dụng như một chất chống ăn mòn, được thêm vào làm chất phụ gia để tăng tính dẻo và tăng độ bền cho cao su (Williams et al., 2016). Phthalates không được liên kết bằng liên kết cộng hóa trị với chuỗi polyme, mà các phân tử của chúng được nhúng vào giữa các phân tử chuỗi polyme, vì vậy, chúng có thể rò rỉ hoặc bay hơi vào không khí và dễ dàng phơi nhiễm ra môi trường (U.S, 2012). Trong điều kiện nắng nóng, nhiệt độ cao ở khu vực miền Trung thì tốc độ bay hơi DBP càng lớn và nguy cơ ảnh hưởng đến sức khỏe người lao động càng cao. Để đánh giá mức phơi nhiễm của người lao động, chúng tôi tiến hành lấy mẫu liều tiếp xúc cá nhân về nồng độ DBP trong vùng thở của 200 công nhân làm việc tại các công đoạn có phát sinh DBP ở một số cơ sở chế biến cao su khu vực miền Trung. Kết quả ghi nhận được giá trị nồng độ DBP cao nhất là 0,1604 mg/m3 tại khu vực lưu hóa cơ sở 2 (CS2) ở Quảng Nam. Công nhân làm việc tại các khu vực sản xuất khác nhau có mức độ phơi nhiễm DBP khác nhau. Phơi nhiễm với hợp chất DBP có thể xảy ra thông qua đường hô hấp tại nơi sản xuất có sử dụng phthalate. Kết quả thu thập được thông qua việc khảo sát đánh giá hiện trạng phơi nhiễm DBP tại các cơ sở nghiên cứu được trình bày và thảo luận trong bài báo, từ đó làm cơ sở để xây dựng các giải pháp bảo vệ sức khỏe cho người lao động.

Orta Çağ Avrupa’sında Hıristiyan Törenlerinde Kullanılan Taşınabilir Kutsal Su Kabı ve Serpme Üzerine Genel Bir Bakış
Authors: YILDIRIM ATEŞ Berna
Published: January 2024

Bu çalışmada, Hıristiyan liturjisinde büyük bir öneme sahip olan kutsal su kabı ve birlikte kullanılan serpme objesinin, tarihsel süreç içerisindeki uğradığı değişimler ve bu değişimin sonucunda edindiği yer üzerine kapsamlı bir araştırma yapılmıştır. Yapılan bu çalışmada özellikle eserlerin günümüze ulaşan örnekleri de dikkate alınarak, etimolojisi, formu, malzemesi, süsleme ve ikonografik değerlendirmesi alt başlıklar altında bir bütün olarak ele alınmıştır. Ayrıca liturji ile olan ilişkileri, politik çıkarımları, törenlerde ne şekilde ve hangi sembolik amaçlarla kullanıldıkları da belirtilmiştir. M.S. 9. yüzyıl ile birlikte toplu ayinlerde daha da yaygınlaşmaya başlayan bu objelerin, “kutsal su” ile bütünsel ilişkisi, Hıristiyan öğretisinde yeni bir boyut kazanır. Suyun yaşam veren doğası, Tanrı tarafından yönlendirilen bir güce evrilir. Bu bağlamın ortaya çıkarılabilmesi için bu türden eserlerin hem dönem liturjisi hem de Hıristiyan yaşamındaki rolü açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca bu tür kaplar, işlevleri farklı olan bazı su kapları ile aynı isimle adlandırıldıkları için hem yazılı kaynaklarda hem de kilise envanterlerinde bir karışıklığa neden olmuştur. Hangi kabın bu tür bir kullanımda olup olmadığının tespiti ve takibi oldukça zordur. Ayrıca günümüze ulaşan sınırlı örneklerin ve yazılı kaynakların çoğu Orta çağ ve Orta çağ sonrası Avrupa kaynaklı olduğu için çalışma, bu bölgeyi etkileyen sanat anlayışları dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmiş ve böylelikle konunun daha iyi anlaşılmasına katkı sağlayacak çoklu bir bakış açısı sunmuştur.
DİYARBEKİR GAZETESİNE GÖRE ISLAHHANENİN KURULUŞU VE EKONOMİK ANLAMDA VİLAYETE YANSIMALARI (1869-1870)
Authors: SERT Şahin
Published: January 2024

Bu araştırmada Diyarbakır’da zanaat ve ziraatin gelişmesine katkı sağlayan kuruluşlardan biri olan Diyarbakır Islahhanesinin kuruluş süreci ve bunun ekonomik anlamda Diyarbakır’a yansımalarının nasıl olduğu yerel bir gazete olan Diyarbekir Gazetesinin bakış açısıyla anlatılmıştır. Islahhanenin kuruluş süreci araştırmanın temel konularından biri olduğu için birinci bölümde sadecce Islahhanenin kuruluş aşamasına yer verilmiş, Islahhanenin daha sonraki gelişim evrelerine ise değinilmemiştir. İkinci kısımda ise kurulan Islahhanenin Diyarbakır’a ekonomik anlamda yansımasının nasıl olduğu gazetenin değerlendirmeleri ışığında ifade edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında Diyarbekir Gazetesinin 1869-1870 yıllarını içeren 70 sayısı incelenmiş ve bunlardan konumuz ile alakalı olan sayıları makaleye alınmıştır. Ayrıca Cumhurbaşkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivinde yer alan Diyarbekir Vilayet Meclisinin Islahhanenin kurulması amacıyla Sadaret makamına yazdığı yazılar ile verilen cevapların yer aldığı resmi belgelerden de faydalanılmıştır. Diyarbakır Islahhanesinin kurulduğu andan itibaren büyük bir ilerleme gösterdiği görülmektedir. Islahhanenin bu gelişimi devlet yetkilileri tarafından da farkedilmiştir. Bu sebepten gelişiminin devam etmesi için Islahhanenin yetkililer tarafından sürekli desteklendiği anlaşılmaktadır. Yerel bir gazete olan Diyarbekir Gazetesi bu gelişmeyi vilayetin ve ülkenin içinde bulunduğu ekonomik sıkıntıları da göz önünde bulundurarak anlatmıştır. Gazete, bunun yanında yaptığı haberler üzerinde değerlendirmelerde bulunmuştur. Diyarbekir Gazetesinin bu değerlendirmeleri yaparken Avrupadan örnekler verdiği, vilayetin ve ülkenin nasıl kalkınabileceği konusunda tespitler yaptığı görülmüştür.
Medâris-i İlmiye Nizamnâmesi Sonrasında Osmanlı Taşrasında Medrese Kurma Teşebbüsleri (1910-1914)
Authors: ŞAHİNTÜRK Hasan

Öz

Bu makalenin konusu, 1910 Medâris-i İlmiye Nizamnâmesi’nden 1914 Islah-ı Medâris Nizamâmesi’ne kadar geçer dört yıllık süreçte, Osmanlı taşrasındaki asr-ı hazıraya uygun, fünûn-i cedide derslerini programında barındırır bir şekilde kurulması amaçlanan medreselerdir. 26 Şubat 1910 tarihinden itibaren Medâris-i İlmiye Nizamnâmesinin yayımlanmasıyla beraber artık medreselerde fünûn-i cedide dersleri okutulmaya başlanmıştır. Fakat bu uygulama büyük oranda İstanbul ile sınırlı kalmış, fünûn-i cedide dersleri taşradaki medreselerde birkaç örnek uygulama dışında yaygınlık kazanamamıştır. Bu sebeple bazı vilayetlerde zamanın koşullarına uygun, mevcut medreselerin dışında yeni bir medrese kurma girişimleri söz konusu olmuştur. Bu girişimler, nizamnâmenin bir gereği olarak ortaya çıkmamıştır. Fakat nizamnâmenin fünûn-i cedidenin medreselerde okutulmasına olanak sağlaması dolayısıyla oluşturmuş olduğu ortam bu girişimlere bir zemin hazırlamıştır. Priştine, Van ve Bağdat’ta örneklerine rastlayabildiğimiz bu projeler savaşlar ve mâlî kaynak yoksunluğu sebebiyle hayata geçirilememiştir. Fakat ders programları, fiziki-mimari özellikleri, amaçları ve kendi bölgeleri için taşıdıkları misyon bakımından incelenmeye değerdir. Zira bu medreseler mevcut medreselerin yanında alternatif yeni bir medrese anlayışı sunmaktadır. Ayrıca mevcut medreselerden fiziki-mimari özellikleri bakımından daha farklı ve büyük düşünülen bu medreseler, Darü’l-Fünûn benzeri olarak tahayyül edilmiştir. Bu medreselerin talebe sayısı da mevcut medreselerden çoktur. Bunun yanında bu medreseler, kurulması planlanan vilayet ve civarı için taşıdığı misyon bakımından da dikkat çekicidir. Zira Priştine, Van ve Bağdat belirtilen yıllarda Osmanlı Devleti’nin çeşitli sorunlarla mücadele ettiği vilayetlerdir. Bu anlamda medreselerin, hem halkın dini ve dünyevi eğitim seviyesini yükseltmek hem de bölgedeki farklı propagandalara engel olma amaçları bulunmaktadır.

Published: January 2024

Los contaminantes emergentes, incluyendo fármacos y productos de uso personal, cada vez son encontrados con mayor frecuencia en medios acuáticos, incluidos ambientes marinos e hipersalinos. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar el impacto toxicológico de las sustancias p-fenilendiamina, benzofenona y naproxeno a dos temperaturas (24 ° C y 30 ° C) y dos tiempos de exposición (24 y 48 horas) usando Artemia salina como modelo. La concentración letal (CL50) se determinó después de exponer a Artemia a diferentes concentraciones y la sobrevivencia fue considerada como la principal variable a evaluar. Los resultados obtenidos señalan la p-fenilendiamina y la benzofenona aumentan su toxicidad conforme incrementa la temperatura y el tiempo de exposición, mientras que la toxicidad del naproxeno fue afectada por el tiempo de exposición más no por la temperatura. No se observan diferencias significativas para interacción entre temperatura y tiempo de exposición para las sustancias evaluadas.
