İmar planı uygulamalarına veri kaynağı teşkil eden ‘’İmar Planına Esas Jeolojik-Jeoteknik Etüt’’ çalışmaları, kapsamlı saha, laboratuvar ve paleosismoloji çalışmalarıyla birlikte ‘’ Yerleşime Uygun Alanların’’ belirlenmesinde önemli pay sahibidir. Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmalar; şişme, oturma ve sıvılaşma gibi farklı problemler sergileyen zemin koşullarının belirlenmesini, kent ve çevresinde bulunan fay bileşenlerinin kapsamlı analizleri ile dinamiklerinin ortaya konularak sağlıklı ve dirençli kentlerin oluşturulmasını amaçlamaktadır. Kent jeolojisinin kapsamlı olarak ortaya konulması, yerleşim alanlarının sınıflandırılması ve imar planlarının oluşturulmasında büyük öneme sahiptir.

Bu çalışma, Menemen Belediyesi tarafından uygulamaya konulan İmar Planına Esas Jeolojik-Jeoteknik Etüt çalışmaları kapsamında ilçe sınırları içerisinde; Çukurköy, İğnedere, Görece, Yanıkköy, Doğaköy, Belen, Haykıran ve Hasanlar Mahallelerini kapsayan alan ve çevresinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Belirli standartlar ölçüsünde gerçekleştirilen paleosismoloji çalışmaları kapsamında Menemen Fay Zonu’na ait yapı ve bileşenler üzerinde 12 farklı lokasyonda hendek çalışmaları gerçekleştirilmiş, kent planlamasına etkileri açısından fay dinamikleri ortaya konularak, bölgesel jeoloji ve aktif tektonik yapı içindeki konumu değerlendirilmiştir.

Gerçekleştirilen paleosismolojik tabanlı hendek çalışmalarında, son dönemlerde meydana gelen depremler sırasında oluşmuş herhangi bir yüzey deformasyonuna rastlanmamış ve aktif faylanmayı işaret eden belirgin bir jeolojik yapı gözlenmemiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen dört hendekte, andezitlerden oluşan volkanikler içinde ve bu volkanikler ile Neojen gölsel tortullar arasında gelişmiş bir fayın varlığı saptanmıştır. Yapılan incelemeler noktasında bu fayın Kuvaterner ve/veya Kuvaterner öncesi dönemde gelişmiş bir sismik aktivite sonucunda oluştuğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bu doğrultuda kentsel planlama çalışmaları kapsamında ilçe sınırları içerisinde, Menemen fay zonuna ait segment bileşenleri üzerinde yerleşime uygunluk açısından, herhangi bir Yüzey Faylanma Tehlike Zonunun (Fay Tampon Bölge) oluşturulmasına gereksinim duyulmamıştır.

Authors: Kartal Emin Tarik , Keskin Arabul Fatma
Published: December 2024

Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRMs) have attracted a lot of attention in recent years due to their simple construction, high efficiency and the fact that they do not require rare earth magnets. SynRMs produce torque by directing the magnetic flux through barriers in the rotor, making them a low-cost alternative. The performance of the motor can vary significantly depending on the design of the stator windings and rotor barriers. Different combinations of stator winding types and the number of rotor barriers directly affect the critical performance parameters of the motor such as torque, efficiency, torque ripple, output power, saliency ratio and copper consumption. In this study, SynRMs using six different stator winding types and two different rotor barrier structures (3 and 4 barriers) are analyzed. Output power, efficiency, torque, torque ripple, saliency ratio, d-q axis inductances depending on current phase angle, total losses and copper consumption are investigated. The effect of full pitch and shortened pitch configurations in winding structures on the performance is discussed comparatively. The effect of 3 and 4 barrier rotors on these parameters is also evaluated. These analyses aim to reveal the ways in which winding and rotor configurations in motor design can be used to optimize performance. SynRMs can provide energy efficiency and cost benefits in a variety of industrial applications, therefore selecting the proper configuration is of great importance from both an economic and performance perspective.

Published: December 2024

This proposed FlowingLife framework addresses the challenges of optimizing altered flow regimes in Irish plans and programs to improve Irish aquatic ecosystems' economic and environmental outcomes. The framework uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to revolutionize flow regime management and decision-making processing, providing sustainable resource allocation, climate change adaptation, and aquatic habitat conservation. The potential of identifying optimization guides thoroughly evaluating Irish Plans, including development plans, river basin management, biodiversity, and climate action. Fish population restoration, protection of biodiversity, optimization of agricultural techniques, and management of water resources are some of the critical uses. AI-empowered FlowingLife framework creates real-time monitoring and assessment in Strategic Environmental Assessments (SEAs), enabling adaptive management. The FlowingLife evaluates and adaptively manages fish populations and flow regimes by combining Deep Learning (DL) for image and sensor analysis, knowledge graphs for intricating ecological linkages, and predictive modeling. The results show that the proposed paradigm using AI improves environmental management and supports evidence-based decision-making, sustainable resource management, and the preservation of Irish aquatic ecosystems.
Laypeople’s Use of and Attitudes Toward Large Language Models and Search Engines for Health Queries: Survey Study
Authors: Mendel Tamir , Singh Nina , Mann Devin M , Wiesenfeld Batia , Nov Oded
Published: December 2024

Background

Laypeople have easy access to health information through large language models (LLMs), such as ChatGPT, and search engines, such as Google. Search engines transformed health information access, and LLMs offer a new avenue for answering laypeople’s questions.

Objective

We aimed to compare the frequency of use and attitudes toward LLMs and search engines as well as their comparative relevance, usefulness, ease of use, and trustworthiness in responding to health queries.

Methods

We conducted a screening survey to compare the demographics of LLM users and nonusers seeking health information, analyzing results with logistic regression. LLM users from the screening survey were invited to a follow-up survey to report the types of health information they sought. We compared the frequency of use of LLMs and search engines using ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests. Lastly, paired-sample Wilcoxon tests compared LLMs and search engines on perceived usefulness, ease of use, trustworthiness, feelings, bias, and anthropomorphism.

Results

In total, 2002 US participants recruited on Prolific participated in the screening survey about the use of LLMs and search engines. Of them, 52% (n=1045) of the participants were female, with a mean age of 39 (SD 13) years. Participants were 9.7% (n=194) Asian, 12.1% (n=242) Black, 73.3% (n=1467) White, 1.1% (n=22) Hispanic, and 3.8% (n=77) were of other races and ethnicities. Further, 1913 (95.6%) used search engines to look up health queries versus 642 (32.6%) for LLMs. Men had higher odds (odds ratio [OR] 1.63, 95% CI 1.34-1.99; P<.001) of using LLMs for health questions than women. Black (OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.42-2.54; P<.001) and Asian (OR 1.66, 95% CI 1.19-2.30; P<.01) individuals had higher odds than White individuals. Those with excellent perceived health (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.1-1.93; P=.01) were more likely to use LLMs than those with good health. Higher technical proficiency increased the likelihood of LLM use (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.14-1.39; P<.001). In a follow-up survey of 281 LLM users for health, most participants used search engines first (n=174, 62%) to answer health questions, but the second most common first source consulted was LLMs (n=39, 14%). LLMs were perceived as less useful (P<.01) and less relevant (P=.07), but elicited fewer negative feelings (P<.001), appeared more human (LLM: n=160, vs search: n=32), and were seen as less biased (P<.001). Trust (P=.56) and ease of use (P=.27) showed no differences.

Conclusions

Search engines are the primary source of health information; yet, positive perceptions of LLMs suggest growing use. Future work could explore whether LLM trust and usefulness are enhanced by supplementing answers with external references and limiting persuasive language to curb overreliance. Collaboration with health organizations can help improve the quality of LLMs’ health output.
Electronic Health Record Use Patterns Among Well-Being Survey Responders and Nonresponders: Longitudinal Observational Study
Authors: Tawfik Daniel , Shanafelt Tait D , Bayati Mohsen , Profit Jochen
Published: December 2024

Background

Physician surveys provide indispensable insights into physician experience, but the question of whether responders are representative can limit confidence in conclusions. Ubiquitously collected electronic health record (EHR) use data may improve understanding of the experiences of survey nonresponders in relation to responders, providing clues regarding their well-being.

Objective

The aim of the study was to identify EHR use measures corresponding with physician survey responses and examine methods to estimate population-level survey results among physicians.

Methods

This longitudinal observational study was conducted from 2019 through 2020 among academic and community primary care physicians. We quantified EHR use using vendor-derived and investigator-derived measures, quantified burnout symptoms using emotional exhaustion and interpersonal disengagement subscales of the Stanford Professional Fulfillment Index, and used an ensemble of response propensity-weighted penalized linear regressions to develop a burnout symptom prediction model.

Results

Among 697 surveys from 477 physicians with a response rate of 80.5% (697/866), always responders were similar to nonresponders in gender (204/340, 60% vs 38/66, 58% women; P=.78) and age (median 50, IQR 40‐60 years vs median 50, IQR 37.5‐57.5 years; P=.88) but with higher clinical workload (median 121.5, IQR 58.5‐184 vs median 34.5, IQR 0‐115 appointments; P<.001), efficiency (median 5.2, IQR 4.0-6.2 vs median 4.3, IQR 0‐5.6; P<.001), and proficiency (median 7.0, IQR 5.4‐8.5 vs median 3.1, IQR 0‐6.3; P<.001). Survey response status prediction showed an out-of-sample area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.88 (95% CI 0.77-0.91). Burnout symptom prediction showed an out-of-sample area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.63 (95% CI 0.57-0.70). The predicted burnout prevalence among nonresponders was 52%, higher than the observed prevalence of 28% among responders, resulting in an estimated population burnout prevalence of 31%.

Conclusions

EHR use measures showed limited utility for predicting burnout symptoms but allowed discrimination between responders and nonresponders. These measures may enable qualitative interpretations of the effects of nonresponders and may inform survey response maximization efforts.
A Validation Tool (VaPCE) for Postcoordinated SNOMED CT Expressions: Development and Usability Study
Authors: Ohlsen Tessa , Hofer Viola , Ingenerf Josef
Published: December 2024

Background

The digitalization of health care has increased the demand for efficient data exchange, emphasizing semantic interoperability. SNOMED Clinical Terms (SNOMED CT), a comprehensive terminology with over 360,000 medical concepts, supports this need. However, it cannot cover all medical scenarios, particularly in complex cases. To address this, SNOMED CT allows postcoordination, where users combine precoordinated concepts with new expressions. Despite SNOMED CT’s potential, the creation and validation of postcoordinated expressions (PCEs) remain challenging due to complex syntactic and semantic rules.

Objective

This work aims to develop a tool that validates postcoordinated SNOMED CT expressions, focusing on providing users with detailed, automated correction instructions for syntactic and semantic errors. The goal is not just validation, but also offering user-friendly, actionable suggestions for improving PCEs.

Methods

A tool was created using the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resource (FHIR) service $validate-code and the terminology server Ontoserver to check the correctness of PCEs. When errors are detected, the tool processes the SNOMED CT Concept Model in JSON format and applies predefined error categories. For each error type, specific correction suggestions are generated and displayed to users. The key added value of the tool is in generating specific correction suggestions for each identified error, which are displayed to the users. The tool was integrated into a web application, where users can validate individual PCEs or bulk-upload files. The tool was tested with real existing PCEs, which were used as input and validated. In the event of errors, appropriate error messages were generated as output.

Results

In the validation of 136 PCEs from 304 FHIR Questionnaires, 18 (13.2%) PCEs were invalid, with the most common errors being invalid attribute values. Additionally, 868 OncoTree codes were evaluated, resulting in 161 (20.9%) PCEs containing inactive concepts, which were successfully replaced with valid alternatives. A user survey reflects a favorable evaluation of the tool’s functionality. Participants found the error categorization and correction suggestions to be precise, offering clear guidance for addressing issues. However, there is potential for enhancement, particularly regarding the level of detail in the error messages.

Conclusions

The validation tool significantly improves the accuracy of postcoordinated SNOMED CT expressions by not only identifying errors but also offering detailed correction instructions. This approach supports health care professionals in ensuring that their PCEs are syntactically and semantically valid, enhancing data quality and interoperability across systems.

Published: December 2024

UNSTRUCTURED

This study investigates the efficacy of AI, particularly ChatGPT, in providing patient education on common dermatologic conditions by analyzing search patterns and evaluating AI-generated responses. Using Google Trends and People Also Ask, the research identifies the most frequently searched dermatologic conditions (rash, eczema, acne, skin cancer, and hair loss) and assesses the accuracy and completeness of responses generated by AI (via ChatGPT-4) compared to those from Google search. The relative search volume (RSV) data revealed that acne and rash were the most frequently searched terms, with a marked increase in interest for "skin cancer" when combined with "dermatology." The study found that patients' primary concerns centered on detection and diagnosis (30.6%), with skin cancer showing a high proportion of questions related to prognosis, while acne attracted more questions about pathogenesis. Notably, hair loss was most commonly associated with inquiries about professional help. AI-generated responses were significantly more accurate (4.5/6 vs. 3.6/6) and complete (2.3/3 vs. 1.25/3) than those from Google, with AI providing higher-quality sources, though predominantly from commercial websites (46.4%). Despite the moderate quality of sources cited by AI, the study found that AI responses generally guided users toward seeking professional care and did not propagate misinformation. The study highlights the potential for AI to enhance patient education, though it emphasizes the need for improved source quality and algorithmic adjustments to ensure more reliable, evidence-based outputs. Limitations include the use of a single AI model and search engine.

English Education Method Influence Mechanism Analysis
Authors: Xu Xialian , Guihen Laura
Published: December 2024

Upon mastering novel words in a second language (L2), students' initial vocabulary expressions and associations may not be accurate. When studying these new words, these concepts should be more precise to stay clear of errors. This study looked into whether words that are similar could aid in learning and sharpening skills. 114 adults were given comparable spelling and semantic L2 terms through comparison in certain targeted learning tasks. Participants compared words from their second language in Test 1, and terms from their first language in Test 2. Only comparisons of L2 characters written in a similar manner can help their absorption. Our conclusion is that comparing undefined characteristics can act as a learning mechanism that guides people in acquiring relevant terminology knowledge. Therefore, it allows students to build more precise concepts to facilitate learning. The possibility of further research and its possible effects on second language teaching were talked about.

Authors: DOLI CHOUDHURY  , PINAKI CHAKRAVARTY  , TANUREETO CHOUDHURY
Published: December 2024

Objectives: The aims of this study were as follows: (1) To study the drug utilization pattern of drugs prescribed to patients suffering from acne vulgaris attending the Outpatient Department of Dermatology at Tezpur Medical College and Hospital. 2 To assess the rationality of prescriptions using the World Health Organization (WHO) core indicators. Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin disorders, affecting more than 85% of adolescents worldwide. The irrational use of drugs is a significant concern in modern medical practice, as it can lead to ineffective treatment, unnecessary prescriptions, adverse effects, and an economic burden on both patients and society.
 Results: A total of 2,360 prescriptions were analyzed. A female predominance was observed among the patients, with the most common age group being 21–30 years. The average number of drugs per encounter was 3.21. The percentage of medicines prescribed by generic names was 62.35%, and the percentage of antibiotics prescribed was 29%. The most commonly prescribed antibiotic was doxycycline, and the majority of drugs prescribed were topical (74.32%).
Conclusion: This study performed relatively well when compared to other similar studies but still fell short when measured against the optimal values recommended by the WHO. An improvement in the prescribing pattern is necessary to reduce the unnecessary prescription of drugs, enhance the effectiveness of treatment, and lower the cost of treatment.

Published: December 2024

Objective: To study clinical presentation, demographic profile, and hematopathological profile of pancytopenia patients.
Methods: An observational, cross-sectional study was conducted at Geetanjali Medical College, and Hospital from September 2022 to September 2023 on patients presenting with pancytopenia.
Results: A total of 150 patients diagnosed with pancytopenia participated in the study, comprising 84 males and 66 females, with the average age of the participants being 44.90 years. The most common etiology of pancytopenia was megaloblastic anemia, followed by hematological malignancy. Hematological malignancies were observed in 24 patients. The most common cause of hematological malignancy was non-Hodgkins lymphoma followed by plasma cell dyscrasias. Out of 150 pancytopenia study participants, 110 participants had bone marrow examination. The most common observed bone marrow examination finding was hypercellular bone marrow seen in 80 (72.73%) patients.
Conclusion: From our study, it can be proposed that despite numerous etiologies available for pancytopenia and its various manifestations, the most common etiology is megaloblastic anemia. Physical findings, complete blood count, and peripheral blood smear examination provide valuable information in the initial workup of the patients presented with pancytopenia and can provide valuable clues to underlying etiology. Bone marrow examination is a gold standard investigation for comprehensive evaluation of pancytopenia and guides further management in these cases.

Published: December 2024

Objectives: Dry eye disease (DED) is increasingly recognized as a significant health problem in children, particularly about screen time exposure. However, detailed epidemiological data on DED in young populations, especially in regions such as Eastern Bihar, are sparse. This study aims to assess the prevalence of DED among children aged 5–15 years and explore the relationship between the duration of screen time and the occurrence of DED.
Methods: A cross-sectional study at M.G.M. Medical College and L.S.K. Hospital, Kishanganj, Bihar, examined 140 children with DED symptoms. Diagnostic tests such as tear film breakup time and Schirmer’s test were conducted during comprehensive ocular examinations. The association between DED prevalence and parental and self-reported screen usage was examined.
Results: The prevalence of DED among the participants was 12.1%. There was a significant association between higher screen time and increased prevalence of DED, with the severity of symptoms correlating positively with a longer duration of screen exposure. Children with severe DED reported significantly more screen time compared to those with milder forms.
Conclusion: The study confirms a notable prevalence of DED among children in Eastern Bihar, closely linked to excessive screen time. These findings highlight the need for public health strategies to manage screen exposure in children to prevent the onset of DED.

Published: December 2024

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between nursing students' self-confidence, academic achievement, intention to leave school and conflict management styles.
Material and Method: This study was a descriptive correlational design with a convenience sample of 573 nursing students. Data were collected using the Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory II (ROCI II), the Self-confidence Scale and the Personal Information Form. The descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and regression analysis were performed for the data analysis.
Results: Integrating style subdimension was found to have the highest score while dominating subdimension had the lowest score. 83.1% of the students did not think of leaving school. The study results suggested a positive correlation between self-confidence and integrating subdimension (r=.408, p=.000), obliging (r=.085, p=.042), dominating (r=.310, p=.000), and compromising (r=.344, p=.000) subdimensions.
Conclusion: Nursing students' conflict management styles was related to self-confidence and academic achievement. Intention to leave school was not correlated with conflict management styles. Faculty managers should notice nursing students with low self-confidence and inadequate skills of conflict management and plan specifically designed initiatives for these students.

Published: December 2024

The alloying elements present in both tool steel and aluminium are influenced in the dissolution of tool steels in molten aluminum alloys. This study aims to predict how the alloying elements in the tool steel, particularly nickel (Ni) and molybdenum (Mo), impact the formation of the interaction layer between the tool steel and the molten aluminium alloy. The interaction layer between the investigated tool steels Dievar or RavnexHD and the aluminium alloys Al99.9 and Al99.7 consists of an intermetallic and a composite layer. The interaction layer between the investigated tool steels and the AlSi12 aluminium alloy consists of three different interaction layers. The hot-work tool steel RavnexHD shows the better solubility resistance in various molten aluminium alloys. The main alloying element in the tool steels investigated that has an influence on the dissolution of tool steel in molten aluminium is Ni, which is present in higher amounts in RavnexHD. Ni incorporate in the matrix, and inhibits the diffusion of iron and aluminium through the matrix. Mo in Dievar tool steel forms carbides, allowing easier diffusion of these elements through the Fe-matrix. The resilience in molten aluminium alloys is demonstrated by Ravnex HD tool steel for hot work.

Background/Aim. One of the postoperative complications of phacoemulsification is the formation of fluid-filled microvacuoles inside the implanted intraocular lens (IOL). This condition is known as ?glistening?. The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of glistening formation after the implantation of three different acrylic IOLs during the two-year follow-up period. Methods. Cataract surgery was performed in 93 patients (93 eyes) with developed senile cataracts. According to the implanted IOL, patients were equally divided into three groups: group with single-piece hydrophilic (SPHphil) acrylic IOL, group with single-piece hydrophobic (SPHphob) acrylic IOL, and group with three-piece hydrophobic (TPHphob) acrylic IOL. The presence of glistening was measured five times: 1, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months after phacoemulsification. Results. Statistically significantly lower glistening incidence was recorded in the SPHphil group compared to the SPHphob and TPHphob group, six months after phacoemulsification (p < 0.05). That difference was even higher one year after the cataract surgery (p < 0.01) and remained at that level until the end of the study. During the whole follow-up period, no statistically significant difference was recorded among SPHphob and TPHphob groups (p > 0.05). Conclusion. The presence of glistening was recorded in all groups. Our results strongly suggest that the progression of glistening was the most pronounced in the first postoperative year. However, a very low glistening incidence associated with SPHphil IOL could be particularly beneficial in patients expected to develop increased postoperative inflammation.

ИСКЛЮЧЕНИЕ ИНЫХ ДОКУМЕНТОВ, ПОЛУЧЕННЫХ С НАРУШЕНИЕМ УПК РФ В ХОДЕ ДОСУДЕБНОГО ПРОИЗВОДСТВА
Authors: Яновский Антон Сергеевич
Published: December 2024

В статье анализируется порядок признания недопустимыми такого вида доказательств, как «иные документы». Автор обращает внимание на то, что действующий УПК РФ не содержит порядка получения и приобщения к материалам уголовного дела «иных документов», а признание их доказательствами зависит от стороны обвинения. При этом акцентируется внимание на том, что у стороны защиты фактически отсутствует возможность для оспаривания решений о включении либо не включении соответствующих материалов в перечень доказательств в качестве «иных документов». Одним из выводов является необходимость дополнительной проработки процедуры признания доказательств недопустимыми в целях соблюдения принципа законности и обеспечения реализации прав участниками процесса.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TO AUTOMATE: TRANSLATION OF TECHNICAL TERMS IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Authors: Lysychenko Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

This article highlights the influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on automating the translation of technical terminology in project management. In particular, the article focuses on the use of machine translation (MT), which, thanks to their ability to process large amounts of data, cloud computing, and advanced algorithms, increase the accuracy and speed of translation of technical documentation. It is noted that AI helps to reduce translation costs and improves the consistency of terminology, which is critical for the successful completion of projects with tight deadlines. Nevertheless, challenges in this field are also identified, including the high error rate in translating highly specialized terms and the ongoing need to enhance systems to meet the varied demands of users. Different translation approaches are discussed, including neural machine translation (NMT), statistical machine translation (SMT) and rule-based machine translation (RBMT), which ensure high accuracy and smoothness of translation. Integrating AI into project management systems can also optimise communication in multilingual teams. The article highlights the growing role of AI in the translation of technical terms, which has great potential to improve efficiency in project management.

Authors: Malynovska Iryna , Barantsova Iryna
Published: December 2024

In the article, the authors analyse the concept of ‘soft skills’ and define the role of soft skills in the professional training of teachers in the modern educational process. It is established that these skills include the ability to empathise, active listening, constructive communication, conflict management and leadership qualities that contribute to the effectiveness of the teaching process, stimulate active interaction between participants in the educational process and contribute to the successful achievement of educational and professional goals. It is noted that developed soft skills allow a teacher to more effectively establish interaction with students, colleagues and the administration of a higher education institution. The ability to communicate, motivate and manage emotions creates an atmosphere of mutual understanding and trust, which has a positive impact on the success of students and forms their positive attitude to learning in general. In the article, the authors analyse the experience of other countries in developing soft skills for teachers, in particular in the Scandinavian countries, Singapore, Canada, Australia, and Japan. The study found that in order to develop soft skills in teachers, it is necessary to attend trainings and seminars, which will help teachers improve their dialogue skills, better understand the needs of students to resolve conflict situations and create a positive educational environment; create conditions for the professional growth of teachers, recognition of their achievements; encourage teachers to share experiences and cooperate with colleagues, which will help improve their teamwork and conflict resolution skills.
