Toma de decisiones empresariales
Authors: Franklin Fincowsky Enrique Benjamín
Published: March 2023

Tanto los individuos como las organizaciones prosperan o fracasan como resultado de las decisiones que toman. Algunas veces, la toma de decisiones es un proceso de prueba y error. Otras, las decisiones son certeras y sus resultados favorables con un margen de error mínimo, generalmente porque media la experiencia y el dominio de un campo específico o la energía positiva de quien las toma. En realidad todas las decisiones entrañan un aprendizaje. Lo importante radica en la intención, la actitud y los valores que se manejan en el proceso. Todas las personas de diferentes ámbitos enfrentan numerosos hechos y circunstancias —casi siempre fuera de control— que influyen en el proceso de la toma de decisiones. No existe un método único para tomar decisiones que todas las empresas puedan emplear en todas las situaciones. El individuo que toma una decisión debe definir con exactitud el problema en cuestión, para después generar soluciones alternativas y evaluarlas y, por último, tomar la decisión. Sin embargo, hacer todo lo anterior no resulta tan sencillo en la realidad. Haciendo un breve recuento de las condiciones que en primera instancia inciden en las decisiones, se puede enumerar las tres siguientes: la certidumbre, el riesgo y la incertidumbre. Cuando las personas identifican las circunstancias y los hechos, así como el efecto que podrían tener en la posibilidad de preverlos, tomarán decisiones en condición de certidumbre. A medida que la información disminuye y se torna ambigua, la condición de riesgo entra en el proceso de la toma de decisiones ya que estas se basan en probabilidades objetivas (claras) o subjetivas (intuición o juicio de opinión). Por último, en la condición de incertidumbre, las personas que toman una decisión cuentan con poca información o ninguna acerca de las circunstancias y los criterios que deben fundamentarla.

Las decisiones de los inversionistas a través del lente de la economía del comportamiento
Authors: Murphy David S.
Published: March 2023

La teoría económica tradicional postula que las personas son racionales. Esto implica que las personas toman decisiones para maximizar sus funciones de utilidad, y que para hacer esto han evaluado de forma completa y correcta sus preferencias y limitaciones. La economía del comportamiento reconoce que esto no es siempre verdad; que a veces no existe suficiente información. En este artículo, examino algunos de los efectos de la economía del comportamiento (que vienen en gran parte de la psicología cognitiva) en la toma de decisiones por los inversionistas en las bolsas de valores.
Caracterización de las nuevas empresas internacionales de los sectores manufactureros tradicionales
Authors: Cantarero Sanz Santiago , Puig Blanco Francisco
Published: March 2023

El principal objetivo de este estudio ha sido estudiar las características de las nuevas empresas internacionales (NEI) o born-global en una muestra de 81 pymes pertenecientes al sector textil-confección español. Para ello, se ha realizado un análisis descriptivo respecto a la localización, el subsector de actividad, el tamaño, la performance económica y la estrategia de internacionalización implementada por las NEI (2005-2009). Los resultados obtenidos identifican tres grupos de NEI: exportadoras, importadoras y exportadoras-importadoras. El grupo de empresas que conforman las importadoras es el más numeroso y está asociado a empresas de menor dimensión. Las exportadoras parecen vincularse más a subsectores low-tech mientras que las más comprometidas internacionalmente son las que tienen una mayor dimensión. Respecto a la localización, no se han detectado evidencias de algún patrón territorial. Por último, entre las empresas internacionalizadas en el periodo de tiempoanalizado, también es destacable que la performance económica de las mismas es mayor entre las importadoras. Este trabajo arroja alguna luz sobre la cuestión de por qué en un mismo país y en un mismo sector algunas empresas deciden al poco tiempo de ser creadas asumir determinados niveles de riesgo, implicándose en operaciones comprometidas con los mercados extranjeros mientras que otras no. Asimismo, también, participa del debate relativo a la competitividad de las empresas manufactureras.

Sustentabilidade ambiental: um estudo sob a perspectiva da teoria institucional
Authors: Menzel Warken Ines Liani , Klan Roberto Carlos
Published: March 2023

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar as forças inovadoras que influenciam uma universidade para a adoção de práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental, sob a perspectiva da teoria institucional. Para o alcance do objetivo proposto, aplicou-se um questionário sobre Educação Ambiental com 97 questões fechadas, adaptado de Freitas (2013) e respondido pelo departamento de sustentabilidade da Universidade Federal da Fronteira Sul (UFFS). Os dados foram tabulados no software Excel e tratados de maneira quantitativa por meio de estatística descritiva. Os resul- tados demonstram que as forças de inovação que influenciam a UFFS advêm do ambiente interno e externo e é motivada por isomorfismo coercitivo (36,56%), isomorfismo normativo (36,56%) e por isomorfismo mimético (26,88%). Denota-se assim, que a instituição adota as práticas de sustentabilidade ambiental influenciada preponderantemente pela legislação e profissionalização, ao invés de imitar práticas legitimadas entre as Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES). Estes resultados se assemelham aos achados de estudos nacionais e internacionais sobre asustentabilidade ambiental em IES, que a definem como incipiente no segmento.
Effect of Lipid Content on Anaerobic Digestion Process and Microbial Community: Review Study
Authors: Alhraishawi Ali , Aslan Sukru
Published: March 2023

The indiscriminate release of significant amounts of food waste, fat oil and grease, and sewage sludge (SS) into the environment causes severe contamination in many nations. There are numerous potential treatment methods to cope with organic wastes, but anaerobic digestion is currently widely accepted to handle different kinds of biological waste. One of the pillars supporting anaerobic digester biogas production increase in treatment plants is the use of fats in the wastewater. However, it has been claimed that high-fat wastes, particularly mono-digestion in the anaerobic reactor, inhibit acetoclastic and methanotrophic bacteria delay the formation of gas even more, and overtax the system. The aim of this review is to review several publications that dealt with the effect of LCFs and FOG on AD performance and associated methane production and microbial communities, as well as the mechanism of LCFA generation and its inhibitory effect on anaerobic digestion performance, and also addressed the improvement of system efficiency using co-digestion with lipid wastes.
Onomastic suite formation as a hybrid subject of linguistics
Authors:   Moscow Region State Pedagogical University, Sologubov Aleksandr M. , Boronin Aleksandr A.
Published: March 2023

The goal of the research is a transdisciplinary reconstruction of the hybrid subject of linguistics. The result of the research is the distinction between the local onomasticon as a linear list of words, separated from spatial and temporal contexts, and the onomastic suite formation. Transdisciplinarity as a methodological principle of research is represented in the actualization of the cenological approach. The concept onomastic suite formation was coined to linguistically explain the excessive derived groupings of different-frequency onyms related to the parent onym and sharing the common cultural-historical context. The onomastic suite formation is interpreted as a dynamic subsystem of semiocoenosis, the elements of which are formally heterogeneous, loosely coupled from the linguistic point of view, but they share spatial and temporal parameters forming homogeneous social-historical contents associated with psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic and linguoculturological factors. The results are based on the analysis of a sample of 4000 onomastic units, which was generated and interpreted in an “all-humanities key” using an integrated methodology (including contextual analysis, method of vocabulary definitions, interviewing, modeling, introspection).
Appellative vocabulary in Dagestan toponymic names (based on the material of the Avar and Dargin languages)
Authors:   Tsadasa Institute of the Language, Literature and Art  Dagestan Federal Research Center of the  Russian Academy of Sciences, Yusupov Khizri A. , Otsomieva-Tagirova Zabihat M.
Published: March 2023

The article examines the appellative vocabulary of the Avar and Dargin languages related to agriculture. Attention is paid to the analysis of folk geographical terms, especially agroonymic terms that form the toponymy of two ethnoregions of Dagestan. The analysis of the presented materials of the Avar and Dargin languages shows that the vocabulary associated with agriculture is well preserved in microtoponymy. The novelty of the study is seen in the fact that a large number of words related to ancient farming systems indicates the long preservation of archaic methods of land cultivation in the territory of the Avars and Dargins, which in turn led to the preservation of many farming terms and their consolidation in microtoponymy. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the field material collected by the authors in the mountainous areas of Accident and Darga is introduced into scientific circulation, and a classification of nine semantic subgroups of agroonymic terms is proposed. It is also important to analyze the material in the aspect of comparing farming terms in different dialects. The article describes the experience of the authors' long-term work in the study of Avar and Dargin microtoponyms.

Medical tragicomedy (the case of A.K. Tolstoy)
Authors:   Institute of Russian Literature (Pushkin House) of the  Russian Academy of Sciences, Kotel’nikov Vladimir A.
Published: March 2023

A.K. Tolstoy had a bright talent for comic transformation of cultural, literary and everyday phenomena. In this aspect, the “medical” topic is presented in his letters to N.V. Adlerberg. He widely and effectively used grotesque, absurd and pun techniques in the development of this topic. As his illnesses multiplied and worsened, Tolstoy found new ways to mitigate his suffering with laughter in literature and in life. In 1863, asthma attacks began, which did not stop until death. However, he finds the strength to endure the disease with humor and in letters portrays himself in such severe conditions in a comic way. He is forced to increasingly resort to painkillers, including morphine, but does not attach serious importance to his dependence on it. With a sharp but good-natured humor, he draws the figure of his attending physician A.I. Krivsky in “Medical Poems”. The poet’s humorous poetic and epistolary texts also describe cases of deviant and pathological eroticism.
The theatrical and film adaptations of a literary work
Authors:   Russian State University for the Humanities, Gazieva Indira A.
Published: March 2023

The subject of the research is an overview of the foreign theatrical and film adaptations of The Cherry Orchard’s play written by A.P. Chekhov. The aim of the study is to analyze the adaptation of a literary work through non-verbal sign systems. In this regard, the following task is formed: how is the problem of equivalence reflected in the translation from the original language of a literary text into the language of screen images in the Canadian theatrical production and in the cinema of Sri Lanka. The investigation is based on Linda Hutcheon's adaptation theory, postulated that when literary text is transcoded in the process of adapting into any other form sich video game or a musical, this form of transformation is most likely to be seen as a secondary creation and certainly will not be as good as the original text. The question raises — can we give consideration to a theatrical or film adaptation as an individual creation in relation to the original text, despite its connection with it at different levels? Our conclusions are based on the fact, which a literary work in the secondary adaptation may not be inferior to the original and may even be better.
Mysticism of “Batum”
Authors: Kurkin Boris A.
Published: March 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the meanings laid down in “Batum”, the last play by M.A. Bulgakov. The author reviews the sources which the playwright relied on when writing his play, and the need to strictly follow their letter and spirit, which put the writer in an extremely tough political framework. The article argues that the play axis is the contrast between the images of Stalin and Nicholas II. In the meantime, the last Russian Tsar is depicted in a caricature way not corresponding to historical truth. The author of the article notes that in the image of the last Russian Tsar the playwright followed the Soviet dramaturgy tradition. It is also emphasized that a negative, caricatured depicting of Nicholas II image inevitably entailed a blasphemous attitude towards the great Russian St. Seraphim of Sarov referred to in the play. The work shows that the image of Stalin contains unambigious hints on paraphrase of gospel plots which is essentially sacriledge. The play “Batum” is considered in the article as a quite predictable failure in literature legacy of M.A. Bulgakov.
The precedents of bilingual dictionaries of religious vocabulary in modern Russia
Authors:   I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, Lavrentiev Andrey V. ,   Russian Orthodox University named after St. John Theologian
Published: March 2023

The compilation of specialized bilingual dictionaries of religious vocabulary in modern Russia is concerned with a number of methodological difficulties caused by the political and cultural history of the Russian area. The English-Russian and German-Russian dictionaries of religious vocabulary considered in the proposed review, compiled in the period from the 1990s to 2021, reflect the author’s solutions to the problems of intercultural communication and adequate translation of relevant meanings. In the peer-reviewed dictionaries, one can observe both various approaches of the excerption of religious vocabulary (special vocabulary of the main world religions, Christian liturgical, biblical, theological, heortological vocabulary, vocabulary of scientific and theological discourses), and different ways of terminography and translation interpretation. The analysis of peer-reviewed publications is methodologically focused on the critical coverage of the following points: the design of the vocabulary, the criteria for the inclusion of nomenclature names (biblical names, toponyms, etc.), the propriety and degree of prevalence of contextual exemplification of the term. There is an obviously positive trend in the development of German-Russian dictionaries, while the state of development of English-Russian dictionaries of religious vocabulary is somewhat inferior to the former in a number of parameters.

The author analyses the meaning of the key term, gives the variants of its modern interpretation, names the most important works, devoted to the metafunctionality as a phenomenon. The discussion of literary criticism positions of the author is followed by the evaluation of literary methods used in the book. The author emphasizes J. Weir’s pioneering contribution to the problematic of autoreferencing in the historical and literary perspective.
Pay-as-you-go oder Abonnement? : Forschungsstand und Praxisbeispiele zu Erlösmodellen von Mobility as a Service- Angeboten
Authors: Hager Florian , Karl David
Published: March 2023

Pilotprojekte zeigen, dass die Gestaltung des Erlösmodells den Erfolg eines Mobility as a Service (MaaS)-Angebots beeinflusst. Dieser Beitrag untersucht das Design möglicher Erlösmodelle und Abonnementgestaltungen von MaaS-Angeboten. Nach einer systematischen Literaturanalyse zum Forschungsstand vergleicht eine Fallstudienanalyse die Erlösmodelle aktueller MaaS-Angebote unter Berücksichtigung der jeweiligen Kontexte. Sowohl die Erschließung der Erlösquellen als auch die Entscheidung zwischen den Erlösformen Pay-as-you-go und einem Mobilitätspaket als Abonnement wird von der Art des MaaS-Providers beeinflusst. Vorgefertigte Mobilitätspakete bilden nicht immer die optimale Abonnementgestaltung ab. Dieser Beitrag bietet einen Überblick über unterschiedliche Ausgestaltungsoptionen eines MaaS-Erlösmodells und ist nach Kenntnis der Autoren das erste Review in dieser umfassenden Art. Weiterhin lassen sich Empfehlungen ableiten, unter welchen Bedingungen welche Erlösmodell-Gestaltung eingesetzt werden kann, sodass diese Arbeit auch als Orientierung für MaaS-Betreiber in der Praxis dient.
Bestell- und Lieferverhalten digitaler Marktplätze : Rationalität versus Kundenzufriedenheit
Authors: Sucky Eric
Published: March 2023

Digitale Marktplätze sind im Kern online verfügbare Marktplätze, auf denen ähnlich wie bei einem realen Markt Angebot und Nachfrage aufeinandertreffen. Hierbei kann zwischen Online-Shops und Online-Marktplätzen unterschieden werden. Während in Online-Shops der Betreiber als einziger Verkäufer von Produkten und/oder Dienstleistungen auftritt, übt auf Online-Marktplätzen der Betreiber als unabhängiger Dritter lediglich eine Vermittlungsfunktion für die Produkte und Dienstleistungen einer Vielzahl von Anbietern aus. Für Unternehmen, die beide Geschäftsmodelle (Eigenhandel und Marktplatz) parallel betreiben, eröffnen sich insbesondere im Logistikmanagement signifikante Erfolgspotenziale. Die Ausnutzung dieser Erfolgspotenziale kann jedoch zu Distributionsprozessen führen, welche die Kundenzufriedenheit negativ beeinflussen können.

Assessment of adjustment disorder in people with COVID-19 infection
Authors: PEKER Şükran , TOPUZOĞLU Ahmet
Published: March 2023

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the development of adjustment disorder according to the ADNM-20 (Adjustment Disorder New Module-20) scale in participants who were followed up for Covid-19 infection.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted from September to November 2020. After sample size calculation, we aimed to reach minimum 170 people out of 1290 people who applied to the hospital for Covid-19 disease treatment. Participants were selected from the patients admitted to the hospital using a simple stratified random sampling method. We reached 182 people after treating the patients who were followed up with Covid-19 infection in a University Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. A questionnaire and the Adjustment Disorder New Module-20 scale were applied via phone / mail at the end of the 6th month after Covid-19 related hospital admission by researchers.

Results: Adjustment disorder was found in 28.8 % (n=42) of the participants disorder according to the ADNM-20 scale. While the rate of development of adjustment disorder due to Covid-19-related stress was 26.7 % (n=39); the rate of development of adjustment disorder due to non-Covid-19 stress was found to be 2.1 % (n=3). With the increase in stress load, the development of adjustment disorder increased significantly. The frequency of developing Covid-19-related stress-related adjustment disorder was statistically significantly increased with the duration of exposure to stress.

Conclusion: We have found out that one out of every four people who apply to the hospital for healthcare services due to Covid-19 infection may develop an adjustment disorder. Assessment of the adjustment disorder more frequently and making early interventions may contribute to the prevention of progressive mental disorders.

Indicadores para medir la accesibilidad universal en edificios de vivienda plurifamiliar = Indicators for measuring universal accessibility in multi-family housing buildings
Authors: Vega-Higuera Marcela
Published: March 2023

El Código Técnico de la Edificación (CTE) en el apartado de Seguridad de Utilización y Accesibilidad (SUA) incluye más de 200 parámetros de accesibilidad que a su vez derivan a otras normativas. Sin embargo, los Informes de Evaluación del Edificio (IEE), como se mostrará en este trabajo, plantean un análisis mucho más escaso y subjetivo, no existiendo correlación entre sus indicadores y todos los previstos en el CTE. El objetivo de esta comunicación es analizar los parámetros del CTE en su conjunto, estudiar la proporción de parámetros físicos, frente a sensoriales y cognitivos y generar una herramienta que permita el conocimiento y aplicación de la accesibilidad universal en los edificios de vivienda plurifamiliar de forma eficiente. La metodología desarrollada es una revisión bibliográfica de la normativa y su volcado a unos listados Excel diseñados para clasificar y cuantificar los datos, donde se observa un crecimiento del 32% al añadir las normativas relacionadas y un alto peso de parámetros físicosAbstractThe Technical Building Code (CTE) in the section on Safety in Use and Accessibility (SUA) includes more than 200 accessibility parameters that in turn derive from other regulations. However, the Building Evaluation Reports (IEE), as will be shown in this paper, propose a much more scarce and subjective analysis, and there is no correlation between its indicators and all those foreseen in the CTE. The aim of this paper is to analyse the parameters of the CTE as a whole, to study the proportion of physical versus sensory and cognitive parameters and to generate a tool that allows knowledge and application of universal accessibility in multi-family housing buildings in an efficient way. The methodology developed is a bibliographic review of the regulations and their dumping to Excel lists designed to classify and quantify the data, where a 32% growth is observed when adding the related regulations and a high weight of physical parameters.
Supporting the Global Biodiversity Framework monitoring with LUI, the Land Use Intensity indicator
Authors: Spangenberg Joachim H.
Published: March 2023

Biodiversity loss has been identified as one of the environmental impacts where humankind has been tres-passing planetary boundaries most significantly. Going beyond the pressures causing damages (calling them ‘direct drivers’) and analysing their underlying driving forces, IPBES, the Intergovernmental Sci-ence-Policy Platform for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, also identified a series of indirect drivers. The Montreal-Kunming Global Biodiversity Framework GBF including its suggested monitoring approach is intended to and claims to be a policy response to such analyses.

However, to assess the human impact on ecosystems as a basis for planning conservation and restoration, as foreseen in the GBF, monitoring ecosystem typologies (in the GBF with reference to the UN statistical standard SEEA ES, which in turn refers to the IUCN ecosystem classification) is not enough. It needs to be complemented with data on the severity of human impacts, and on the history of places, i.e. how and when the current ecosystem status was brought about.

In this conceptual paper we suggest LUI, a deliberately simple ordinal scale index for land use intensity changes, to address these two gaps. It is based on the hemeroby concept, measuring the human impact as deviation from naturalness. This makes it an information collection and presentation tool for those working in landscape planning and management. LUI’s simple and intuitively understandable structure makes it suitable for citizens’ science applications, and thus for participative monitoring when extensive statistical data gathering is not feasible, and past data are not available. Of course is can also be used as a simple too for communicating when detailed statistical data series are available.

While the aggregate index is expected to communicate well, its components are more relevant to motivate and help policy makers to prioritise their decisions according to the severity of recent anthropogenic ecosystem disturabances.
Biblical Perspectives as a Guide to Research on Life’s Origin and History
Authors: Ross Hugh
Published: March 2023

The more than thirty spacetime theorems developed over the past five decades establish that the universe and its spacetime dimensions have emerged from a cause/Causal Agent beyond the cosmos. Thus, to infer that this cause/Causal Agent may have intervened in the origin and history of Earth and Earth’s life resides well within the bounds of reason. Meanwhile, proponents of each of the three prevailing naturalistic models for the origin and history of Earth’s life have marshalled arguments and evidence that effectively undermine and refute the other two models. A biblical perspective and approach to Earth’s life can help resolve this impasse. While a superficial and pervasive appeal to divine intervention thwarts scientific advance, so does a rigid adherence to naturalism. A productive way forward is to identify which models (or parts of models), whether naturalistic, theistic, or a combination, most effectively narrow, rather than widen, knowledge gaps, minimize anomalies, offer the most comprehensive and detailed explanation of the data, and prove most successful in predicting scientific discoveries.
An Integrated Bayesian Risk Model for Coastal Flow Slides using 3-D Hydrodynamic Transport and Monte Carlo Simulations
Authors: Durap Ahmet , Balas Can Elmar , Çokgör Şevket , Balas Egemen Ander
Published: March 2023

Breaching and liquefaction are two types of coastal flow slides proposed in the literature. While their final results are similar, liquefaction and breaching failure are two different processes, with breaching failure characterized by a different progression and sand movement mechanisms. In densely packed sand, breaching causes delayed sand grain discharge and negative excess pore pressures. Liquefaction, when a mass of soil suddenly behaves like a liquid, flow out over overly gentle slopes. Flow slides typically go unnoticed until the slope fails above ground because they start below the water. Without modern technology, diving equipment, risk assessment, and probabilistic and sensitivity assessments, flow slides inherently challenging. The authors developed a new sensitivity index to detect the susceptibility of coastal flow slides. It was established a sophisticated hybrid model that accommodates flow slides in sync with unpredictable variables employed in this new sensitivity index. Innovative hybrid model has three distinctive models. The Hybrid Hydrodynamic Model addresses wave, wind, current, climate change, and sediment transfer. The Monte Carlo Simulation analyses sensitivity, and the Bayesian Network calculates joint probability of coastal flow slide parameters of this new index that includes environmental characteristics, including climate change. With the assistance of these three models, researchers aim at a) presenting a methodology for coupling coastal flow slide projections with outcomes; b) distinguishing two flow slides; c) examining variables influencing flow slides. The use of such a hybrid model and risk index offers a robust and computationally efficient approach to evaluating the critical angle slope for breaching failure.

The purpose of the study is to improve the standard methodology for controlled parameters information value assessing. The proposed method is based on the controlled parameters value probabilities analysis falling into the subintervals of the interval of possible values for different states of the system. When the value of the controlled parameter falls into the left or right boundary subintervals of the compatibility interval for any state of the object, the conclusion about its state is made taking into account possible errors of the first or second kind in this case. When the controlled parameter value enters the central subinterval, useful information appears if the corresponding probabilities for the states H1 and H2 are differ significantly. Thus, it is shown that taking into account the probabilities of fuzzy values of the controlled parameter falling into the compatibility interval for various states of the object significantly increases its informational value.

Due to the high value and economic importance of the plant Lycium (goji), its genome has been intensively studied in multidisciplinary research. In the present study, the structure and genetic relationships of 14 selected Lycium genotypes from different origins are presented. By using 18 random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) decamers and 15 inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR) primers, 200 and 183 loci were amplified, respectively. Among the amplified loci, 45.5–49.2% were polymorphic, and 6.5–7.6% were genotype-specific. Cluster and STRUCTURE analyses performed for RAPD and ISSR revealed the genetic relationships among the genotypes. The highly significant and positive value of the Mantel’s correlation coefficient calculated for the Jaccard similarity matrices of RAPD and ISSR confirmed the suitability of using both these methods separately in this type of study. The significant values of FST statistics obtained in AMOVA for ‘among’ and ‘within’ group analysis confirmed the diversity of genotypes not only between the designated groups but also within them. This diversity provides opportunities to select interesting genotypes and conduct further studies on identifying markers for marker-assisted selection.

There are main activities of the worker in UD Askan such as splitting the fish, carrying, and lifting the tubs. Work activities are done manually and the production process continually undergoes. The frequency of activity (15 cycles) in a day causes the risk of fatigue, injury, and Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs). Evaluation of the work posture of four workers by Ovako Working Posture Analysis System (OWAS) and Job Strain Index (JSI) methods showed high risk in the process of lifting and carrying a tank. The previous posture caused the worker to bend forward, both legs standing or squatting with both knees, and walk by carrying a tub. The results recommend solving soonest due to the danger to the musculoskeletal. The recommendation shows that lifting methods are required and the design of lifting and transporting equipment is needed. The evaluation posture by OWAS show that the process of carrying a tank is 3 level (immediate repair because it is harmful to the musculoskeletal), and after improvement, it is 1 level (not harmful to the musculoskeletal). Then, JSI indicates any improvement from the 3 levels (posing a hazard) to level 1 (safe work).
Influence of site-specific probabilistic seismic hazard on the risk assessment of a masonry tower
Authors: SAYGILI ÖZDEN
Published: March 2023

A probabilistic seismic hazard analysis was performed for İstanbul considering the seismotectonic structure of the region. Earthquakes that occur in seismic regions has the possibility of triggering each other to a certain extent, and this causes earthquakes to cluster in time and space. In this study, the Poisson model was preferred for probabilistic seismic hazard analysis. Conventional integration approach was adopted to calculate the hazard curves to describe the likelihood of exceeding ground motion in a particular period. This paper presents results on the impact of seismic hazard on structural performance of an existing masonry tower, by evaluating the seismic response for different levels of ground motions.

Brain extraction is an indispensable computational necessity for all researchers using brain imaging data. However, the complex structure of the interfaces between the brain, meninges and human skull have not allowed a highly robust solution to emerge. While previous methods have used machine learning with structural and geometric priors in mind, with the development of Deep Learning (DL), there has been an increase in proposed Neural Network architectures to solve such problems. Most DL approaches focus on improving the training data with little change in the DL architecture. However, the amount and quality of accessible training data with expert-labeled ground truth varies between groups. Thus, the performance of many methods heavily depends on the amount and quality of training data. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture we call EVAC+. EVAC+ has 3 characteristics to work around this major issue: (1) a smart augmentation strategy that improves training efficiency, (2) a unique way of using a Conditional Random Fields Recurrent Layer that improves accuracy and (3) a new loss function that fine-tunes the segmentation output. We compare our model to state-of-the-art non-DL and DL methods. Results show that even with limited training resources, EVAC+ outperforms in most cases, achieving a high and stable Dice Coefficient and Jaccard Index along with a desirable lower Surface (Hausdorff) Distance. More importantly, our approach accurately segmented clinical and pediatric data, despite the fact that the training dataset only contains healthy adults. Ultimately, our model provides a reliable way of accurately reducing segmentation errors in complex multi-tissue interfacing areas of the brain. We expect our method, which is publicly available and open-source, to be beneficial to a wide range of researchers.
Adult body constitution and hearing loss: a bidirectional Mendelian randomisation study

Published: March 2023

Hearing-loss and -disorders represent possible mediating pathways in the associations between noise exposures and non-auditory health outcomes. In this context, we questioned whether the noise-obesity associations should consider hearing functions as possible mediators and applied Mendelian randomisation (MR) to investigate causal relationships between body constitution and hearing impairments.
We obtained genetic associations from publicly available summary statistics from genome-wide association studies in European adult populations (N= from 210,088 to 360,564) for (i) body constitution: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) and body fat percentage (BFP), and (ii) hearing loss: sensorineural hearing loss, noise-induced hearing loss, and age-related hearing impairment (ARHI). We employed colocalisation analysis to investigate the genetic associations for BMI and ARHI liability within an FTO locus. We conducted bi-directional MR for the ‘forward’ (from body constitution to hearing) and ‘reverse’ directions. We applied the random-effects inverse variance-weighted method as the main MR method, with additional sensitivity analyses.
Colocalisation analysis suggested that BMI and ARHI shared a causal variant at the FTOgene. We did not find robust evidence for causal associations from body constitution to hearing loss and suggested that some associations may be driven by FTO variants. In the reverse analyses, ARHI was negatively associated with BMI [effect size -0.22 (95% CI -0.44 to -0.01)] and BFP [effect size -0.23 (95% CI -0.45 to 0.00)], supporting the notion that ARHI may diminish body constitution. Finally, our data suggest that hearing may have little to no effect on explaining the association between noise exposure and body constitution.
