Published: June 2022

Denetim kalitesi hakkında geçmişten günümüze pek çok farklı unsur ve tanımlamalar yapılmıştır. Denetim kalitesi üzerine uzun yıllar araştırmadan sonra, denetçinin faaliyetinin belirlenen yönergelere göre gerçekleşip gerçekleşmediğini açık bir şekilde belirleyen tek bir gösterge çerçevesi oluşturmaktan hala uzak olan evrensel olarak kabul edilmiş bir tanım yoktur. Farklı yaklaşımlara dayanan çeşitli tanımlar geliştirilmiştir. Daha da önemlisi, bu sürekli evrimde bir konudur ve literatürdeki tartışma artık çok açıktır. Finansal tablolarda yer alan verilerin doğruluğunun ve doğruluğunun sağlanması için artan bir ihtiyaç hissedildiğinden, denetim kalitesi kavramının yıllar içinde giderek daha önemli hale geldiği açıkça görülmektedir.
Bu çalışma denetim kalitesi üzerine 2019-2022 yıları arsında ulusal ve uluslararası yapılmış olan çalışmaların incelenmesi amacındadır. Çalışma sonucunda genel olarak denetçinin mesleki yeterliliği, kişiliği, tecrübesi, bağımsızlığı, mesleki özeni, itibarı, tarafsızlığı, mesleki şüpheciliği ve etik kurallar, firma büyüklüğü, firma değeri, zaman bütçe baskısı, denetim rotasyonu, yönetim kurulu özellikleri, denetim ücretlerinin ve covid-19’un gibi etkenlerin denetim kalitesini etkilediğinin sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Aims
The aim of this study was to minimize the procedure, and reduce the length of hospital stay (LoS) is the future objective for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI).
Aims of the study are to identify procedural and electrocardiographical predictors of fast-track discharge in patients who underwent TAVI.

Methods
Patients treated with TAVI included in the One Hospital ClinicalService project were categorized according to the LoS. ‘Fast-Track’ population, with a postprocedural LoS less than or equal to 3 days, was compared with the ‘Slow-Track’ population with a postprocedural LoS greater than 3 days.

Results
One thousand five hundred and one patients were collected. Despite single baseline characteristics being almost similar between the two groups, Slow-Track group showed a higher surgical risk (P < 0.001). Patients in the Slow-Track group were more frequently treated with general anaesthesia (P = 0.002) and less frequently predilated (P < 0.001) and received a lower amount of contrast media. No difference between Slow-Track and Fast-Track patients was observed at 30 days in death and in cardiovascular rehospitalization.
In the multivariable analysis, STS score of at least 4% [odds ratio (OR): 1.64; P = 0.01], general anaesthesia (OR: 2.80; P = 0.03), predilation (OR: 0.45; P < 001), NYHA 3–4 at baseline (OR: 1.65; P = 0.01), AVB I/LBBB/RBBB onset (OR: 2.41; P < 0.001) and in-hospital new PM (OR: 2.63; P < 0.001) were independently associated with a higher probability of Slow-Track.

Conclusion
Fast-Track patients were safely discharged home showing no difference in clinical outcomes after discharge up to 30 days compared with the Slow-Track group. The STS score, general anaesthesia, NYHA 3--4 at baseline, in-hospital onset of conduction disturbances and new PM implantation after TAVI turned out to be predictors of Slow-Track.

Published: June 2022

Abstract

Introduction
Among physiotherapists, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) are the most common health problem. This study aimed to provide evidence for planning evidence-based health promotion programmes for ensuring and maintaining adequate physical fitness (PF) to decrease WMSDs among physiotherapists which would have started already during the study.

Methods
A cross-sectional study involved the participation of a total of 100 physiotherapy students and 62 physiotherapists. Observed variables were prevalence of WMSDs in the last 12 months, lasting >3 days during physiotherapeutic activities and five PF components: body composition, cardiorespiratory and muscle endurance, muscle strength, and flexibility. A chi-square test and binary logistic regression were used as the main analytical methods.

Results
Prevalence of WMSDs in physiotherapists was 63.9% (the most common locations: lower back, shoulders, neck), while in physiotherapy students it was 46.5% (the most common locations: lower back, neck, upper back) (p=0.031). Among the PF components, the results showed statistically significantly worse flexibility among students compared to physiotherapists (about two thirds of students had poor or very poor results of flexibility testing) (p=0.002) in comparison to physiotherapists. A statistically significant positive association between WMSDs and PF was observed only between knee pain and poor cardiorespiratory endurance (OR=4.03 with 95% CI 1.12-14.58; p=0.033).

Conclusion
The study showed poor flexibility among students indicating that it is necessary to direct them to perform activities that will increase the extensibility of muscles. The awareness of this problem should be increased. A specific role should be played by staff involved in clinical practice.

Authors: Sheikh Suleimany Jehan M. Fattah , Aurahman Tara H. , Mamand Bruska S. 
Published: June 2022

This study investigates the flow of a semicircular labyrinth weir in an open channel by experimental and numerical methods. The experiments were carried out in a channel with a length of 3.5m and width of 0.25m and 0.3m height under five different flow rates. Five different discharge values over the weir were used. In each experiment, flow rate and flow depth were measured. Numerical processes solved using mathematical equations of fluid flow through the computational fluid dynamics using ANSYS FLUENT code. The Volume of Fluid (VOF) model is designed for the case of water and air-immiscible faces. Standard k-epsilon turbulence models were tested. A mass balance result indicates that the maximum error between the inlet and outlet discharges of the main channel does not exceed 12% for discharge values of 4.31 L/sec. The results indicate that by increasing the discharge flow rate, the percentage of error decreased to 0.4% for discharge, 14.6 L/sec. The findings show that the free water surface profile obtained from the numerical model compared to experimental values complies well with the experimental results.

Perbandingan Penyelesaian Sengketa Lingkungan Hidup melalui Mekanisme Gugatan Warga Negara (Citizen Lawsuit) di Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat
Authors: Nurmedina Listyalaras 
Published: June 2022

Citizen lawsuit merupakan gugatan yang diajukan oleh warga negara terhadap penyelenggara negara yang menimbulkan kelalaian sehingga menyebabkan kerugian. Kelalaian tersebut merupakan Perbuatan Melawan Hukum (onrechtmatige overhead daad), dimana negara diperintahkan untuk melakukan perbaikan atas kinerjanya dan mengeluarkan suatu kebijakan yang mengatur umum (regeling). Hal tersebut bertujuan agar kelalaian yang sebelumnya terjadi tidak terulang lagi pada masa yang akan datang. Pada dasarnya, gugatan citizen lawsuit hampir mirip dengan gugatan class action karena memiliki kesamaan yaitu gugatannya diajukan dengan melibatkan kepentingan sejumlah besar orang yang diwakilkan oleh satu orang atau lebih. Perbedaannya adalah gugatan citizen lawsuit diajukan oleh warga negara untuk kepentingan umum sedangkan dalam gugatan class action, gugatannya diajukan oleh wakil dari sebuah kelompok untuk kepentingan tertentu. Citizen lawsuit terbentuk di negara-negara dengan sistem hukum common law yang pada awalnya diajukan terhadap permasalahan yang berkaitan dengan lingkungan hidup. Sedangkan citizen lawsuit di Indonesia sebenarnya tidak diatur dalam perundang-undangan. Namun pada tahun 2003, Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Pusat telah menerima bentuk gugatan citizen lawsuit, sehingga walaupun gugatan citizen lawsuit ini tidak diatur dalam perundang-undangan, namun telah diakui dalam praktiknya. Pada artikel ini, penulis menjelaskan contoh-contoh citizen lawsuit yang pernah terjadi di Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat. Selain itu, akan dijelaskan juga mekanisme gugatan citizen lawsuit sehingga dalam penulisan artikel ini ditemukan beberapa persamaan dan perbedaan dalam praktik citizen lawsuit yang diterapkan di Indonesia dan Amerika Serikat.

In this study, we focused on the large inelastic behavior of a sandwich panel made of two solid plates as a stiffener and a honeycomb core shell subjected to blast load. The loading scheme was carried out using an explosive charge bullet mounted at a standoff distance of 100 mm with three mass variations of trinitrotoluene: 1, 2, and 3 kg TNT. The numerical simulations performed using ABAQUS/CAE were validated with the experimental results of a previous study. The geometrical effects of the sandwich panel on intact and damaged models were also numerically investigated. The panel was designed using a square and hexagonal honeycomb core. The effect of honeycomb core height was also observed by modeling the core using three height variations: 31, 51, and 71 mm. The results showed that the hexagonal core was more resistant to blast loads than the square design. The core height parameter determines the energy absorption based on these results. The structural strength is also affected by the damage. The findings of this study can be used to improve structural designs that utilize sandwich panels to withstand blast loads.

Influence of Natural Zeolite and Mineral additive on Bacterial Self-healing Concrete: A Review
Authors: Akhtar J. N. , Khan Rizwan Ahmad , Khan Rehan Ahmad , Akhtar Mohammad Nadeem , Nejem Jamal K. 
Published: June 2022

With time, the development of micro-cracks in concrete is a frequently reported problem in the structures due to the ingress of harmful substances, leading to the degradation of its quality and strength, which ultimately declines the construction. The present work is a review paper based on enhancing the self-healing property of concrete by inducing different bacteria alone or incorporating different mineral additives. It has been seen that various rehabilitated methodologies are in queue to surmount concrete’s weaknesses and to increase its strength and durability. The latest methodology includes using non-pathogenic microbes in concrete as Microbial induced Calcium Carbonate Precipitation (MICCP). The property of precipitating calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals by their metabolic activities helps repair the cracks in harsh conditions and improve their strength. Ureolytic bacteria like Bacillus pasteurii/Sporosarcina pasteurii, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus megaterium, etc., have a specific property by which they can excite urea when integrated with a calcium source and help in sealing the cracks by CaCO3 precipitation. Different studies have observed that specimens having a bacterial concentration of 105-107 cells/ml with Natural Zeolite (NZ) replacement (10%) represents better interaction of the microstructure of concrete because of the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gel. Further, the reduction in CH bond with reduced pore space has also been observed. NZ alone enhances micro-structural property, but it shows CaCo3 precipitation and more densification of microstructure under bacterial combination. XRD also confirms an increase in the calcite composition when the bacterial concentration of 105-107 cells/ml is used. The overall properties of standard and high-strength bacterial concrete (105-107 cells/ml) with 10% Natural Zeolite replacement can provide a better option for the future of sustained and strong concrete.

Flow Characteristics through Granular Soil Influenced by Saline Water Intrusion: A Laboratory Investigation
Authors: Basack Sudip , Goswami Ghritartha , Khabbaz Hadi , Karakouzian Moses 
Published: June 2022

The coastal geoenvironment initiates saline water intrusion into the freshwater aquifers, producing a geohydraulic problem. Such intrusion not only contaminates the fresh groundwater resources, making them unsuitable for human use, but also alters the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer materials, which affects the coastal groundwater flow, influencing the water resources planning and management. Past investigations reveal that the groundwater flow can be linear or nonlinear depending upon the hydraulic gradient. Thus, the coefficients of nonlinear hydraulic conductivities are affected by saltwater intrusion. The present study focuses on an in-depth laboratory investigation into the influence of saltwater submergence on the nonlinear flow characteristics through granular soil. The fine sand samples have been submerged under saline water of specified concentrations for a specific duration, and the alteration in their nonlinear geohydraulic properties has been studied. It is observed that the flow characteristics through fine sand are significantly affected by the period of submergence and saline concentration. Appropriate analyses of the test results are performed to interpret the experimental data, and relevant conclusions are drawn therefrom. The novelty of this study is an in-depth analysis of nonlinear flow characterization affected by saline water intrusion. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-05-02 Full Text: PDF

Published: June 2022

Many industries have recently focused on cost-effective materials with good mechanical properties. Steel fiber reinforced cementitious composites have proven their mechanical performance in industrial and structural components. The concept of recycled fiber-reinforced FGM is used as an alternative construction material, which can be one of the proposed cost-effective solutions. To achieve these objectives, an experimental program has been developed. A cementitious composite based on local materials was strengthened in two designs; one strengthened over the entire cross-section and the other strengthened only in the tensile zone. We also substituted a functional gradient material reinforced with recycled fibers considering the following volume fractions: 0, 0.5, 1, and 1.5%. This paper investigates the feasibility of using recycled fibers from industrial waste from steel wool manufacturing as reinforcement. We also characterized their mechanical properties using ultrasonic pulse velocity, compressive strength, flexural tensile strength, and shear strength. The results show that the corrugated recycled fibers are the ideal choice to increase the mechanical performance of the reinforced composite, including the improvement of flexural and shear behaviors. Therefore, the investigated FGC could be a valuable tool to optimize the design process in various structural applications and make the production of mechanically and environmentally economical composites possible.

Authors: Ngo Si-Huy , Nguyen Ngoc-Tan , Nguyen Xuan-Hien 
Published: June 2022

As a large amount of steel is produced for the industrialization and modernization of Vietnam, a correspondingly large quantity of steel slag is also released annually. Besides, the demand for mortar is increasing due to urbanization, especially for the high-strength and durability mortar used for important constructions and structures in aggressive environmental areas. This study aims to carry out further research into high-strength mortars incorporating ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS). The control mixture was designed with a water-to-binder ratio of 0.2, and the amount of silica fume used was equal to 25% of the total binder amount by mass. Four other mixtures were designed using GGBFS to substitute for 15, 30, 45, and 60% of cement by mass. The engineering properties of fresh and hardened mortars were comprehensively investigated, especially the durability properties. The microstructure of these mortars was also examined using scanning electron microscopy. Test results show that replacing 15 or 30% of cement with GGBFS yields an improvement in mortar's strength and durability properties. All the mortars in this study show excellent qualities with high strength, low water absorption, and high resistance to chloride attack. Moreover, the presence of GGBFS reduces the shrinkage of mortar caused by the drying process. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-05-07 Full Text: PDF
Impact of External Environmental Factors on Construction Firms' Performance, Mediated By Institutional Pressures
Authors: Fehan Hassan , Aigbogun Osaro 
Published: June 2022

While the mainstream of construction management research has paid attention to the causes of poor performance in construction projects, there is a dearth of empirical research that considers the influence of external environment and institutional pressures in the debate. The objective of this research was to examine the impact of external environmental factors and institutional pressures on the performance outcomes of construction firms. The role of institutional pressures as a mediator in that relationship was also evaluated. Using a self-administered questionnaire, primary data was collected from 250 executives working in construction firms. This was then analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling. The results demonstrated that both external environmental factors and institutional pressures have an impact on the performance of construction firms. In light of the institutional theory, the findings addressed a genuine research gap, as institutional pressures were discovered to mediate the relationship between external environmental factors and construction firm performance outcomes. This study contributes to the current debate about the causes of poor performance in construction firms by assisting managers in recognizing the impact of the aforementioned factors on a firm's performance.
