У сучасній педагогічній науці актуальною залишається проблема чіткого визначення та впорядкування категоріально-термінологічного апарату, який часто залишається недостатньо розробленим, а в деяких напрямах – несформованим. Зокрема це стосується досліджень у сфері впровадження цифрових технологій у освіту. Ігнорування вказаної проблеми може призвести до довільної інтерпретації явищ і процесів, втрати чіткості та повноти, що у свою чергу ускладнить впровадження освітніх інновацій та може негативно позначитися на практичній освіті. Визнані наукові джерела, такі як словники й енциклопедії (Online Etymology Dictionary, Cambridge Dictionary, Merriam-Webster Dictionary, Encyclopaedia of Higher Education), є базисом для розвитку спільного поняттєвого апарату.Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій свідчить про актуальність теми енциклопедичних знань у наукових колах. У сфері освіти енциклопедичний підхід має давню історію і сприяє формуванню цілісної картини світу, що розвиває в учнів здатність до аналізу та синтезу інформації. Новітні дослідження також підкреслюють важливість оцінювання якості інформації в електронних енциклопедіях і аналізують виклики, пов'язані з використанням таких ресурсів, як онлайн-енциклопедії. Стаття містить аналітичний огляд публікацій щодо використання електронних (онлайн, веб) енциклопедій як автоматизованих інформаційних систем акумуляції відомостей з різних галузей знань та надання зручного доступу до них. Критично обговорюються ризики використання вікіпедії та деякі аспекти академічної доброчесності.На підтримку і розвиток науково-освітньої термінології в педагогіці та психології спрямований проєкт “Українська електронна енциклопедія освіти”. Розроблення та впровадження подібних інформаційних систем мають величезний потенціал для підвищення ефективності наукових досліджень й обміну знаннями.

In this article, it has been found that the research and implementation of the competency-based approach is important to ensure that the education system meets the modern requirements of society and the labor market, and military education meets the specific requirements for training military personnel who must be prepared to perform complex tasks in high-risk conditions.The competency-based approach is an educational approach that aims at developing not only knowledge, but also skills, abilities, values and personal qualities necessary for effective implementation of professional and life tasks in different situations.The competency-based approach differs from traditional approaches in education. It focuses on the development of key competencies, including critical thinking, communication skills, teamwork, problem-solving, and professional competencies, including those specific to officer training.The main principles of the competency-based approach used in the training of officers include the principle of focusing on learning outcomes, integration of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the principle of modularity and flexibility of curricula, the principles of active and contextual learning, and others.The application of the competency-based approach under martial law has its own peculiarities aimed at ensuring maximum efficiency of officer training. These features are due to the need for rapid adaptation to changes in the combat situation, real threats, and to ensure commanders’ readiness to act in extreme conditions.The application of a competency-based approach in tactical leadership courses in military education in Ukraine under martial law is aimed at the effective preparation of commanders to lead units in complex, changing and extreme conditions, including the development of both practical skills and moral and ethical qualities, the ability to make quick decisions and adapt to new challenges.

У статті з’ясовано, що дослідницька компетентність є одним з ключових результатів навчання для здобувачів вищої освіти. Вона забезпечує не лише їхню академічну успішність, а й підвищує професійну конкурентоспроможність. Формування дослідницької компетентності у студентів закладів вищої освіти і курсантів вищих військових навчальних закладів має свої відмінності, які зумовлені специфікою навчання, професійними вимогами та особливостями майбутньої професійної діяльності. Водночас формування дослідницької компетентності офіцерського складу сил сектору безпеки і оборони під час професійної підготовки у ВВНЗ супроводжується низкою проблемних питань.Структура дослідницької компетентності офіцера складається з кількох основних компонентів, які можна умовно поділити на знання, навички, вміння та особистісні якості. Кожен із цих компонентів відіграє важливу роль у забезпеченні ефективної дослідницької діяльності офіцера у навчальній та професійній діяльності.Дослідницька компетентність може проявлятися під час ведення бойових дій або війни, оскільки дослідницькі здібності дозволяють збирати, аналізувати і інтерпретувати інформацію з різних джерел, вона дозволяє оцінювати поточну ситуацію, передбачати можливі сценарії розвитку подій і аналізувати наслідки різних стратегій.Результати узагальнення наукових публікацій з проблеми дослідження, а також практики професійної підготовки офіцерів у ВВНЗ дозволяють зробити висновок, що ефективне формування дослідницької компетентності вимагає створення відповідних педагогічних умов під час професійної підготовки. Йдеться про забезпечення інтеграції теоретичних знань та практичної діяльності, створення інноваційного освітнього середовища, професійну підготовку викладачів, розвиток мотивації та інтересу до дослідницької діяльності, впровадження в освітній процес ефективних методик навчання, забезпечення безперервної освіти та саморозвитку, а також координацію та підтримку дослідницької діяльності.
Certainty of Fulfilling the Subjective Requirements of an Agreement in the Case of PPJB; Analysis of Decision Number 697/PDT.G/2021/PN.TNG
Authors: Husen Nur Afni , Adhari Ade
Published: January 2025

Ideally, the fulfillment of subjective conditions in an agreement, such as the competence of the parties and free will, serves as the basis for the legal validity of the agreement. However, in reality, as seen in Case Decision Number 697/PDT.G/2021/PN.TNG, non-formal factors such as unequal bargaining positions and emotional pressures also influence the annulment of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (PPJB). This study aims to analyze the legal certainty of fulfilling the subjective conditions of agreements and the judge's considerations in this case. A normative juridical approach was employed, analyzing the court's decision and contract law theory. The research findings indicate that while subjective conditions were formally met, the judge annulled the PPJB by considering substantive justice. Unequal bargaining positions and psychological pressures were the main reasons for the annulment. This study emphasizes that the protection of individual rights and balanced justice is the primary principle in contract annulments, surpassing the mere fulfillment of formal conditions.

Authors:   Central Ukrainian National Technical University, Mytsenko Ivan
Published: January 2025

The article develops and checks a scientific-methodical approach to the analysis and evaluation of the efficiency of strategic management of the innovative development of Ukraine in the conditions of global asymmetries. The scientific-methodical approach is based on the selection of statistical indicators for the comprehensive assessment of the innovative development of the country, calculation of the integral indicator based on actual values of the indicators for the period 2010-2020, and forecasting of the integral indicator of the effectiveness of the implementation of the state strategy of innovative development of Ukraine based on the forecast values of the indicators for the period 2021-2025.
The conducted research showed that from 2010 to 2020 Ukraine observed a decrease in the level of innovative development due to the mostly decreasing dynamics of the rate of change in the total number of scientific workers, the share of expenses for scientific research and development in GDP, the share of foreign investors' funds in total volumes financing of innovative activities of industrial enterprises, the share of machines and equipment in the total number of introduced innovative products. It has been determined that during the analysed period, negative transformations took place in scientific, technical and innovative sphere of Ukraine, which is evidenced by decrease of the integral indicator of the level of innovative development of the country. The results of forecasting indicators of innovative development in Ukraine indicated the existing possibility of an increase in the integral indicator from 0.56 in 2020 to 0.72-0.74 in 2024-2025.
The improvement of individual indicators will require state intervention in terms of improvement of financial and institutional instruments for the implementation of the state innovative strategy of Ukraine, using the experience of EU countries.

Authors: Ghiffari Panji M , Fuad Fuad
Published: January 2025

The severe impact of financial statement fraud (FSF), particularly in large corporations, remains a significant challenge globally, often arising due to weak internal controls and the pressure on employees to meet financial targets. This study explores the applicability of the New Fraud Diamond Model on financial statement fraud (FSF) in energy companies listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 until 2023. The sample comprises 238 companies selected through purposive sampling. The research results indicate that financial stability and financial targets positively influence FSF, while effective monitoring has a negative effect. Other variables show no significant impact. The findings provide practical implications for regulators and companies to strengthen governance mechanisms, enhance monitoring effectiveness, and align financial targets with long-term goals to mitigate fraud risks, thereby improving overall corporate accountability and financial market stability.

Published: December 2024

Dysmenorrhea is a common occurrence in most women. The pain arising from dysmenorrhea ranges from mild to moderate and can disrupt daily activities and performance. Many women practice self-medication to alleviate this pain. This self-medication practice is influenced by several factors, one of which is the level of knowledge. This study aims to explore the relationship between the level of knowledge among female students and self-medication behavior in dysmenorrhea. This study used a cross-sectional design with a random sampling of female students from SMK Negeri 2 Palembang. The total sample involved 41 students. Data were collected and analyzed using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests. The majority of students experienced dysmenorrhea (87.8%) with an average Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score of 4.6. The duration of pain varied, with most experiencing pain for 2-3 days after menstruation. Almost all students (97.6%) had good or sufficient knowledge about dysmenorrhea. However, only a few students practiced self-medication (11.1%), with paracetamol being the most commonly used medication. The analysis showed a significant relationship between knowledge level and self-medication behavior (p=0.002, OR: 12.681). The level of knowledge among female students is significantly associated with self-medication behavior in dysmenorrhea. Better health education on dysmenorrhea management and the use of safe medication needs to be strengthened to reduce the risk of side effects and improve the well-being of students.

Authors: Maritska Ziske , Hasani Masagus Irsan Saleh , Idris Fachmi , Hafy Zen , Pramudhito Didit , Effendi Kemas Yusuf
Published: December 2024

Disorders of Sex Development (DSD) encompass rare congenital conditions involving atypical development of chromosomes, gonads, or sex anatomy. The 2006 global consensus led to a shift in the approach to handling DSD cases, emphasizing integrated treatment involving various scientific disciplines. DSD diagnosis involves a structured and multimodality approach, including history, pedigree analysis, physical examination, imaging, hormone and chromosome analysis, and genetic testing. An in-depth anamnesis and detailed pedigree analysis help trace family history and inheritance patterns of Mendelian traits in DSD cases. Thorough physical examination, including general and specific assessments, helps screen for abnormalities in sexual development. Karyotyping, hormone level investigation, and imaging examinations are crucial for supporting the diagnosis of DSD. However, genetic or molecular examination remains the modality for definitively confirming the genetic disorder underlying DSD, subsequently leading to a better understanding and management of the condition. Considering the limited resources available in the field in efforts to establish a molecular diagnosis of DSD, it is recommended to explore the role of anamnesis, pedigree analysis, physical examination, imaging examination, hormonal laboratory examination, and chromosome analysis in efforts to approach the diagnosis of DSD.

Published: December 2024

Anemia is a direct or indirect cause of maternal mortality. Anemia is associated with maternal morbidity rates. The government’s effort to address anemia is to provide iron supplements (Ferrous Sulfate). The success of iron supplement administration depends on whether or not pregnant women take iron tablets. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnant women on compliance with iron tablet (Ferrous Sulfate) consumption and the incidence of anemia during pregnancy. This observational analytic study used a cross-sectional design with primary data from pregnant women at Puskesmas Pembina Palembang. 100 samples that met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected through consecutive sampling techniques. Statistical analysis results showed that 80% of respondents were not anemic while 20% were anemic. The respondents with a high level of knowledge mostly had positive attitudes (81%), positive behavior (94%), and compliance with iron tablet consumption during pregnancy (83%). The Chi-Square test and Fisher's Exact test showed a significant relationship between knowledge level (p-value = 0.000, OR = 11.746), attitude (p-value = 0.000, OR = 34.167), behavior (p-value = 0.001, OR = 7.309), and compliance with iron tablet consumption (p-value = 0.040, OR = 3.769) and the incidence of anemia during pregnancy. This study concludes that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnant women on compliance with iron tablet (Ferrous Sulfate) consumption and the incidence of anemia during pregnancy.

Published: December 2024

Empathy is an important skill that plays a role in the social and emotional development of adolescents and contributes to healthy and harmonious interpersonal relationships. The decline in empathy levels in adolescents today is a concern, especially in social contexts such as interactions in high school (SMA). Empathy is also key to preventing negative behaviors such as bullying and improving communication and collaboration skills. Therefore, it is important to understand students' empathy levels as a first step in developing appropriate interventions. This study aims to describe the level of empathy in high school students in Bandung. This study used a descriptive design with a total sampling technique, involving 100 respondents. Data were collected using the Basic Empathy Scale (BES) questionnaire consisting of 20 statements to measure affective and cognitive empathy. The validity test of the instrument showed a value between 0.567 and 0.812, while its reliability was measured by the Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.85 for affective empathy and 0.79 for cognitive empathy. Data analysis was carried out using frequency distribution to describe the characteristics and levels of empathy of respondents. The results of the study showed that the average level of empathy of students was 51.82, with the majority of students in the moderate empathy category (51%). This finding indicates that most students have adequate empathy skills, but there is still room for further development. Factors such as family background, academic pressure, and the influence of social media also contribute to the level of empathy shown by students. This study is expected to support the development of educational policies that focus on strengthening students' character and mental health.
Role of Innate Immune Response of Dental Hyperplastic Pulpitis: A Review
Authors: Ratih Ade Rizki Putri , Oktariana Desi
Published: December 2024

Immunity plays an important role in many areas, including dental health. Dental caries is the main and most common problem in dental and oral health fields. Dental caries was influenced by 4 important factors, among them was a bacterial infection. The bacterial infection can cause inflammation of the pulp. Chronic inflammation pulpitis can stimulate pulp polyps or hyperplastic pulpitis. This study aimed to identify the role of innate immune response to hyperplastic pulpitis process. Bacteria Streptococcus mutans was the most prevalent bacteria in dental caries. Its lipopolysaccharide could trigger an immune response by activating the cellular and humoral components in the pulp cavity. The cellular components include polymorphonuclear cells, monocyte and macrophage cells, dendritic cells, basophil cells, and mast cells. The humoral component was histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6, and IL-12. The presence of bacterial infections or pathogens causes the body to stimulate defense mechanisms through innate immune cells and humoral components.
The relationship between hypertension and COVID-19 vaccine in the long term and occupational evaluation
Authors: Ecin Seval Müzeyyen , Okur Tülin
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Many cardiovascular complications, especially myocarditis and pericarditis, have been observed with vaccination. One of these cardiovascular complications is hypertension with a rate of 1-5%. Hypertension emerged in the acute period after vaccination and tended to be persistent in patients with advanced age and comorbid diseases. In this study, we aimed to examine the relationship between hematological, biochemical markers and demographic characteristics between healthy individuals who have never been vaccinated or vaccinated and patients with new- onset hypertension.
Material and Method: Patients diagnosed with new-onset hypertension and healthy COVID-19 vaccinated, and non-COVID-19 vaccinated control patients of similar age and number were included in the study. The relationship between hematological, biochemical and demographic data between newly diagnosed hypertension patients and healthy COVID-19 vaccinated, and healthy non-vaccinated patients was examined.
Result: 56.3% of newly diagnosed hypertension patients were female, 46.9% were primary school graduates, 37.5% were housewives, 81.3% had stress in their lives. Hypertension patients were older (p<0.01), had lower hemoglobin levels (p=0.05) and higher LDL-C levels (p<0.01) than healthy unvaccinated patients.
Conclusion: Although it is seen that the cause of hypertension cannot be attributed solely to the vaccine, since the hypertensive group was older, had a higher body mass index, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia compared to the healthy group, and the number of patients in the study was small, but being a housewife is the most important occupational group and stress is an important trigger. The majority of vaccinees were primary school graduates. Anemia and LDL elevation were found in hypertensive and vaccinated patients. To the best of our knowledge, it is one of the first studies to examine LDL elevation in vaccinated patients and the relationship between long- term newly diagnosed hypertension and vaccination, although confounding factors cannot be excluded.
A tale of two uropathologists: concordance of Gleason Grade Groups in prostatic adenocarcinoma over needle biopsies and radical prostatectomies
Authors: Güner Güneş , Kösemehmetoğlu Kemal
Published: December 2024

Objective: The standard 12-core transrectal prostate needle biopsies don’t reflect the tumor entirely. Approximately 35-36% of needle biopsy diagnoses of Gleason grade group (GG) 1 are upgraded upon radical prostatectomy (RP). Pathologists are not in perfect concordance in Gleason scoring. Two uropathologists in a university hospital aimed to determine how concordant needle biopsy GGs were with RP GGs. Moreover, they also assessed how frequently they up-/down-graded the needle biopsy GGs each other gave when they graded RPs.
Material and Methods: In-house prostate needle biopsies and RPs from 31/01/2020 to 10/09/2022 were retrieved from the hospital database. Patients who had both a needle biopsy and an RP were included. Whether each case was down-/up-graded upon RP, GGs and the pathologist that reported the cases were tabulated.
Results: One hundred and thirty cases were assessed. Needle biopsy and RP GGs were identical in 63,1% (n=82). Pathologist1 (P1) assessed both the needle biopsy and RPs of 41 patients, 8 of which they downgraded and 8 upgraded (19,5%). Pathologist2 (P2) assessed both the needle biopsy and RP samples of 23 patients; downgrading 13% (n=3) and upgrading 17,4% (n=4) of cases. Where the needle biopsy was reported by P2 and RP was reported by P1 (n=48), 10 (20,8%) were downgraded and 8 (16,7%) were upgraded. The reverse scenario was noted in 18 patients; 2 (11,1%) of which were downgraded, 5 (27,8%) were upgraded. While P2 showed a tendency to upgrade more frequently, this was not statistically significant (p=0,2774, Pearson chi-square).
Discussion: The two uropathologists’ up- and down-grading rates seemed concordant. Routine practice doesn’t allow time for one pathologist to re-score the other’s cases, nor is every case consulted. Looking back at pathologist-specific tendencies to up/downgrade one’s own or a colleague’s scores may help direct ourselves and others to curb tendencies to over/undergrade.

Objective: The skin acts as one of the body’s first defense components against many external factors by creating a physical barrier. Therefore, it is significantly vulnerable to the irritating effects of protective personal equipment use. A wide range of occupational skin diseases (OSD) can be observed in the nurses who are in close contact with patients and frequently use personal equipment. We aim to identify different types OSD observed in the nurses and explore the impact of these skin diseases upon Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI).
Materials and Methods: A web-based questionnaire consisting of 24 questions related to the physician-confirmed cutaneous diseases observed in the participants who were actively working as nurses in Türkiye. DLQI was calculated by using DLQI score.
Results: Two hundred twenty nine participants were included in the study with a mean age of 33.74 years. The mean duration working as a nurse was 9.86 years. One hundred (43.7%) participants reported to have at least one skin disease; the most commonly observed occupational cutaneous skin diseases were xerosis, contact dermatitis, pruritus, brittle nail syndrome and callus formation. The median DLQI score was 4 (interquartile range=7.5). The time during which the participants worked as a nurse was significantly associated with the development of at least one OSD (p=0.02).
Conclusions: Our study show that OSD, most common ones being xerosis, contact dermatitis and pruritus seem to affect dermatologic life quality of the nurses in Türkiye.

Objective: Laparoscopic liver surgery (LLR) was first performed in 1992 and LLR began to be performed for many benign and malignant etiologies, especially hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal cancer metastases (CRC). Recent studies have shown that LLR has less bleeding, shorter hospital stay (LOS), faster recovery, and similar long-term oncologic outcomes compared to open surgery. This study aims to examine the results of LLR, which has been performed for 8 years in our institution, which is one of the referal centers in the field of hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery.
Methods: Twenty-nine patients who underwent LLR for malignant and benign reasons in our hospital between January 2016 and March 2024 were included in the study, and 416 patients who underwent open surgery, and laparoscopic ablation. Data were obtained retrospectively from the hospital registry system.
Results: 18 (62.1%) of the patients were male and the median age was 57 (41-62.5). 23 (79.31%) of the patients underwent surgery for malignant reasons. The most common indications for surgery were HCC (24.14%) and CRC (20.69%). Median blood loss was 200 (100-375) ml. Median LOS was three (3-5) days, and 30-day readmission rate was 3.45%. Clavian-Dindo ≥3 complication grade was seen in 13.79% of patients and no mortality was observed in any patient. R0 resection was achieved in 73.91% of patients. Disease recurrence developed in 56.52% of patients at a median follow-up of 22.1 (9.9-48.5) months. Of the patients who developed recurrence in the liver, recurrence developed at the surgical margin in 13.04%, and in other liver segments in 30.43%. Median overall survival was 48.5 months, and median recurrence-free survival was 21 months. 1-, 3-, and 5-year overall survival were 85%, 76%, and 48%, respectively, while 1- and 3-year recurrence-free survival were 71% and 34%, respectively.
Conclusion: In this study, it was shown that LLR is a safe alternative to traditional open surgery in terms of length of hospital stay, blood loss, recurrence rates, and survival rates in parallel with the literature, and that although the surgical margin was positive, recurrence developed mostly in other liver segments, and in some patients, no recurrence was observed despite positive margins.

Daratumumab is a widely-used monoclonal anti-CD38 antibody both in newly-diagnosed and relapsed refractory multiple myeloma. CD38 is expressed on the surface of NK, regulatory B, and T cells. Therefore, patients receiving the drug are prone to decreased immunity, especially against herpes virus infections. Varicella-zoster virus is one of the herpesviruses, and reinfection typically occurs in immunocompromised individuals, including multiple myeloma patients, by reactivation of endogenous latent infection within the sensory ganglia. This type of infection (herpes zoster) usually presents in a dermatomal skin area. Here, we report a patient who developed varicella-zoster virus meningoencephalitis under daratumumab treatment.

Published: December 2024

Havzaların iklim değişikliğine karşı kırılganlık düzeyleri coğrafi konumu, hidrolojik yapısı, fiziksel yapısı, toprak yapısı, jeolojik yapısı, iklim koşulları, kentleşme düzeyi, arazi kullanımı gibi pek çok faktöre dayalı olarak farklılık göstermektedir. Havza temelli kırılganlık değerlendirmeleri iklim değişikliğine uyum politikalarında su ile ilgili konuların da gözetilebilmesi açısından önem taşımaktadır. Bu noktada alt havzalar ise aynı zamanda yerele özgü stratejilerin belirlenmesinde uygun bir ölçek oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, Küçük Menderes Nehir Havzası’nda yer alan, kentleşmiş havza niteliği gösteren ve aralarında farklı özellikleriyle öne çıkan İzmir-Körfez, Çeşme-Karaburun ve Tahtalı-Seferihisar alt havzalarının deniz seviyesi yükselmesi ve aşırı yağış tehlikelerine karşı mekânsal kırılganlık düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda, alt havzalardaki mikro havza sınırları eşik alınarak, maruz kalma, hassasiyet ve dirençlilik olmak üzere üç tipte belirlenen göstergelerden faydalanılarak mekânsal kırılganlık analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, alt havzaların değişen kırılganlık düzeylerine sahip olduğunu ve göreli daha kentleşmiş nitelikteki İzmir-Körfez alt havzasının diğerlerine kıyasla daha kırılgan bir yapı sergilediğini ortaya koymuştur. Orman ve yarı doğal alanlarıyla öne çıkan Çeşme-Karaburun alt havzasının daha düşük kırılganlık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir.

Urban Vulnerability Assessments to Climate Change for Members of the European Healthy Cities Network in Turkey: A Case Study
Authors: Türe Cengiz , Ar Murat
Published: December 2024

It is a scientific fact that climate change has important negative effects on and ecological sustainability. Especially its increasing effects on human and urban health make settlements more vulnerable. Therefore, government-level actions are important, but local governments have more important roles in climate change mitigation and adaptation. However, the lack of information on combating climate change is the biggest problem for local governments. To overcome this lack of information, action, and inclusive governance systems based on the measurement and monitoring are required. There are many tools and methods for qualitative and quantitative vulnerability assessment for cities. Indicator-Based Vulnerability Assessments are recommended in the relevant literature to assess vulnerability to urban climate impacts. This study, based on the method IBVAs, Turkey Healthy Cities Association member aims to determine the level of vulnerability of cities to climate change. When these 40 settlements/cities were analyzed by vulnerability categories, it was determined that they were distributed as High Vulnerability 0, Medium Vulnerability 5, Low Vulnerability 32, and Durability 3, respectively. It is seen that the biggest deficiencies related to the sub-parameters in the cities are in the Organizational Structures of the Cities, followed by the General Characteristics of the Cities and the Built-Environment respectively.
Key Location Attributes of Disaster Medical Services Headquarters: Developing an Urban Health Care Disaster Preparedness Model
Authors: Tunalıgil Verda
Published: December 2024

INTRODUCTION: The strategic location of health services headquarters during disasters is critical for effective emergency management. This research examines essential qualities necessary for managing health services in disaster scenarios, emphasizing infrastructure, communication, and resource management. METHODS: This study utilized an adapted qualitative analysis framework to develop a model for public health preparedness and disaster management, employing thematic analysis of six high-risk disaster scenarios. These scenarios were deliberately selected to encapsulate a range of challenges encountered during disaster response, with a particular emphasis on vulnerabilities and communication breakdowns. The analytical approach was tailored to align with the specific themes and intended outcomes of the study, facilitating a comprehensive exploration of the factors influencing effective health service management in disaster contexts. RESULTS: The findings illustrate significant risks associated with suboptimal headquarters location, particularly during earthquakes. Scenarios highlighted issues such as traffic congestion, structural vulnerabilities, and flooding that impede emergency response. These challenges lead to resource shortages and complicate public health interventions, while proximity to high-risk facilities poses additional threats. DISCUSSION: Analysis of the six scenarios revealed common themes: infrastructure damage, strain on emergency services, communication failures, access limitations, and mental health repercussions. The proposed model emphasizes risk assessment, infrastructure improvements, and community engagement to enhance resilience and response efficacy. CONCLUSIONS: This research underscores the need for strategically located health service headquarters to mitigate disaster risks. While the model offers insights into effective disaster management, its findings are not universally applicable, necessitating further research to refine preparedness strategies in varied contexts. A diagram representing the model's components is provided to enhance stakeholder understanding and facilitate implementation. The literature review concludes that the location and key characteristics of health service centers in disasters have been identified. In this regard, the research highlights a significant gap, presenting for the first time a city model that describes these aspects along with a diagram representing its components.

This research aims to determine the effect of potassium fertilizer doses on the growth and yield of watermelon plants planted in ultisol soil, and determine short-term changes in weed composition.The experiment used a Randomized Block Design (RAK) with five treatments of potassium (D) doses and three replications. The treatment doses are: Without fertilizer (control) equivalent to 0 kg/plot; A dose of 125 kg/ha is equivalent to 37.4 g/plot; A dose of 250 kg/ha is equivalent to 74.8 g/plot; A dose of 375 kg/ha is equivalent to 112.1 g/plot; A dose of 500 kg/ha is equivalent to 149.5 g/plot. The research data was analyzed using Sidik Ragam to find out whether the treatment had a real effect or an insignificant effect. If the results of the analysis have a real or very real effect, then continue with the Duncant's Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level.This research concluded: (1) The dose of potassium fertilizer had no significant effect on plant length and fruit weight per plant but had a very significant effect on fruit weight per plot. Potassium fertilizer dose of 500 kg/ha provides the highest fruit weight per plot; (2) Potassium fertilizer doses tend to provide different weed populations and dry weights in watermelon plantings. The higher the dose of potassium fertilizer given tends to increase the weed population and weed dry weight; (3) The weed community coefficient index between mid and late weeds in watermelon planting is the same. However, the number of weed populations and biomass in the middle observation was higher than the final observation of watermelon planting.
