İş Kazası ve Meslek Hastalıklarının Maliyeti (2005-2014)

Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye de 2005 – 2014 yılları arasında meydana gelen iş kazalarının ve meslek hastalıklarının görünür ve görünmeyen maliyetlerinin hesaplanması, maliyetleri etkileyen faktörlerin ortaya konulmasını amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma ve Sosyal Güvenlik Bakanlığı 2005 ile 2014 yılları arasında yayınlanan istatistik yıllarından elde edilen verilerle Türkiye’deki iş kazası ve meslek hastalıkların seyri ve ülke ekonomisine olan ekonomik yükü hesaplanmaya çalışılmıştır. Ülke ekonomisine olan maliyetin hesaplanmasında iş göremezlik süreleri ile ortalama günlük işçi kazancının çarpılması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. 2005–2014 yıları arasında toplam 990.587 iş kazası meydana gelmiş bu kazalardan dolayı 12.617 çalışan hayatını kaybetmiştir. Bu dönemde 5.709 çalışan meslek hastalığına yakalanmış 56 çalışan hayatını kaybetmiştir. İş kazası ve meslek hastalıkları sonucunda kaybedilen iş göremezlik gün sayılarına bakıldığında 2005-2014 yılları arasında 582.774 günü hastanede yatarak olmak üzere toplam 18.464.857 işgünü kaybı yaşanmıştır. Son on yılda iş kazaları ve meslek hastalıklarının ülke ekonomisine olan ekonomik yükü 67.887.000.000 TL olarak hesaplanmıştır

The Opinions of Roman Women about Marginalizing in Working Life: A Qualitative Study

Çalışmanın amacı, iş yaşamında ötekileştirmeye ilişkin Roman kadınların görüşlerini incelemektir. Çalışma grubunu Edirne ilinin Merkez ilçesinde bulunan Çavuşbey mahallesinde ikamet eden, iş yaşamında aktif olarak rol alan 20 Roman kadın oluşturmaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemi ile desenlenen çalışmada, veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuş yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ise betimsel analiz yaklaşımından yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre çalışmaya katılan Roman kadınların çoğunun, iş yaşamında ötekileştirilmeye maruz kaldığı görülmüştür. Ötekileştirilmeye ilişkin durumların ise çoğunlukla iş yerinde muhatap alınmama, iş yükü eşitsizliği ve iş türü adaletsizliği olduğu ifade edilmiştir. Ayrıca, ötekileştirilme sonunda Roman kadınlar, işe gitmeme, iş yaşamında performans düşüklüğü ve işi bırakma gibi eylemleri sergileyebilmektedirler. Ayrıca, Roman kadınların görüşlerinden, ötekileştirilmesinin eğitim eksikliğinden, meslek kurslarının ve iş fırsatlarının etkili bir şekilde planlanıp uygulanmadığından kaynaklandığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Bulgular sonucunda, ötekileştirilmenin hem Roman kadınların iş yaşamı üzerinde hem de genel iş yaşamın verimliliği, güvenliği, iş gücü ve performansı üzerinde olumsuz etkileri olduğu söylenebilir.This study aims to examine the views of Romani women on marginalizing in their working life. The study group consists of 20 Romani women who are living in Çavuşbey neighbourhood, the central district of Edirne, and have an active working life. This study planned as qualitative research uses a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researchers as a data collection tool. In the analysis of the data, the descriptive analysis approach is used. The present study finds that most of the Romani women participated in the study are exposed to marginalizing in their working life. It is stated that the situations related to marginalization are mostly caused by inequality in the workplace, unbalanced workload and labour injustice. In addition, Romani women might not go to work, have poor performance in the workplace and quit their job as a result of marginalization. It is also deduced from the views of Romani women that marginalization results from lack of education, ill-planned system of vocational courses and job opportunities. As a result of the findings, it can be said that marginalization has negative effects both on the working life of Romani women and productivity, safety, workforce and performance of the general working life

Direct Health Expenditure Analysis Related to Hearing Loss in Individuals Using Hearing Aids and Cochlear Implants

Objective:This study aimed to investigate the expenditures related to hearing devices and compare the differences in expenditures in child and adult users.Methods:A preliminary questionnaire was developed and conducted amongst hearing aid and cochlear implant users. A total of 178 patients (57.3% were hearing aid users, 42.7% were cochlear implant users) were included in the study and grouped as adults (first group, 50 patients), and children 1< (second group, 123 patients).Results:The results of the study showed that individuals used approximately 4.5% of their annual income as health expenditure related to hearing loss. This rate was over 5% for child users, and about 2.7% for adult users. Moreover, the expenditure made by adult users was below the amount of expenditure made for children in all health expenditure indicators.Conclusion:Supporting the family budget for hearing loss expenditures not covered by the public health insurance will minimize the financial problems caused by the disability

Awareness of medical and aromatic plants in the western black sea region

In our research, the level of awareness about medicinal and aromatic plants in different professions groups (farmers, civilservants, workers, retired, students and unemployed) and education levels were examined through direct interviews inWestern Black Sea Region (Düzce, Sakarya, Zonguldak, Bartın). By using the Neyman method, 77 people wereinvestigated, based on the Likert scale to measure awareness levels, and the results were evaluated by SPSS method.As a result of our research, 24.7% of them prefer medicinal and aromatic plants when they are sick, while 81.8% thinkthat medicinal and aromatic plants are organic. 66.2 %agree that organic certification is required for medicinal andaromatic plants. 63.6% of inadequate education is remarkable when the problems are expressed. At the rate of 5.2% is TVand 15.6% is for newspapers are used for information acquisition. According to the study, it was concluded that the levelof awareness of the medicinal and aromatic plants in the Western Black Sea region is not sufficient, and starting fromschool programs, it is necessary to raise awareness of the public by means of non-formal education, magazines andcourses besides TVand newspaper

Protonation kinetics compromise liposomal fluorescence assay of membrane permeation

The membrane permeation of weak acids and bases couples to the ambient pH and can be studied using pH-sensitive dyes as reporters. Such fluorescence measurements with aliphatic amine drugs have revealed biexponential kinetics of permeation into liposomes (Eyer et al. J. Controlled Release 2014, 173, 102). Permeability coefficients have been obtained using the faster of the two kinetic components. Here, the origin of the biexponential kinetics is studied with a kinetic rate model that in addition to drug permeation accounts for the protonation of the drug and the dye. Surprisingly, the experimental readout is found to strongly depend on the rates of protonation. The analysis demonstrates that fluorescence studies of drug permeation relying on pH-sensitive proxies should be accompanied by comprehensive modeling of the relevant kinetic processes

Determining the factors that affect self-reported quality of life among Turkish seafarers

Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the quality of life (QOL) of Turkish seafarers and its relationship with the factors affecting it.Materials and methods: A total of 103 Turkish seafarers completed an “Employee Assessment Form” and “WHOQOL-BREF” Scale.Results: The majority of the seafarers who participated in the study were males (98%) of the age group 36–48 (44%). Among the seamen, 58% smoked and 42% used alcohol. The rate of exercising was 29% and the mean body mass index was 27.63 ± 3.78. Average scores of WHOQOL-BREF sub-dimension are 15.99 ± 1.83 for physical (PHY), 15.77 ± 2.26 for psychological (PSY), 15.50 ± 2.73 for social (SOC), 14.17 ± 2.25 for environmental domain (ENV), and finally 14.18 ± 2.13 for ENV-TR.Conclusions: According to the results of this study, it is possible to argue that Turkish seafarers have a weak awareness towards improving their health and QOL in their working life and that they need assistance in improving their QOL, especially in psychological and social aspects

Lipid bilayer permeation of aliphatic amine and carboxylic acid drugs: rates of insertion, translocation and dissociation from MD simulations

Aliphatic amines (AAs) and carboxylic acids (CAs) constitute the two most commonly occurring chemical groups among orally active drugs [Manallack, et al., ChemMedChem, 2013, 8, 242]. Here, we aim to rationalize this observation in terms of molecular properties that are essential for drug bioavailability. To this end, the permeation of the AA drug dyclonine and the CA drug 4-phenylbutyrate through a lipid bilayer is studied with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Permeability coefficients for the neutral and ionized forms of these drugs are calculated using the inhomogeneous solubility-diffusion model. To draw conclusions about other AA and CA drugs, the permeability coefficient is expressed as a sum over contributions from drug insertion into, translocation across, and dissociation from the lipid bilayer. Simple but general expressions for each of these separate steps are obtained and validated against the MD simulations of dyclonine and phenylbutyrate. We conclude that the neutral forms of most AA and CA drugs have large permeability coefficients (>1 cm s−1), while their ionized forms ensure solubility in aqueous environments. Thus, a physicochemical rationale for the reported abundance of AAs and CAs among drugs is provided
