For many years, the assembly line balancing problem (ALBP) has been discussed with different solution approaches in the literature. Recently, the use of collaborative robots (cobots) that can work at the same or different stations with the workers on the assembly line has become very popular. The problem of calculating the break times with the energy expenditure of the workers above a certain level has also been evaluated from the perspective of ergonomics. In this study, the cost-based assembly line balancing and worker-cobot assignment problem (ALBWCAP) under ergonomic constraints is discussed and a mixed integer linear programming model (MILP) is proposed to solve the problem. To evaluate the effectiveness of the cobots in assembly lines, a total of four different scenarios; i.e. cost-based assembly line only with the manual workforce, the cost-based ALBWCAP where the ergonomics perspective is ignored, cost-based ALBWCAP where the ergonomics perspective is ignored with different parameters in objective function, and the costbased ALBWCAP where the ergonomics perspective is addressed-change in energy expenditures were considered and their results were compared. and their results were compared.

Objective: The study aimed at identifying dangers and risks encountered by hazelnut farm workers and exploring the effect of occupational health and safety training about hazelnut farming upon the workers’ knowledge level. Materials and Methods: In this research, which was conducted as an intervention study, the pre-test post-test single-group research pattern was used. Training and brochures were given to 60 hazelnut agriculture employees selected using a random sampling method after the pretest. The change in the current knowledge score was examined statistically with the last test application two weeks later. Results: 53.3% of the participants were male and their average age was 43.0±14.4 years. 60.0% of the participants stated that they had accidents while they were engaged in hazelnut farming and 71.7% of them did not have any training about occupational health and safety previously. Participants’ score of knowledge about physical dangers and risks as to occupational health and safety was 62.7±17.8 before the training while it significantly increased to 79.3±16.3 after the training. It was seen that after the training held; having a previous training, having high educational status, having no accidents previously and being at a young age affected post-test scores significantly. Conclusion: In the study, it was explored that hazelnut farming workers in Trabzon Province lacked knowledge about physical and ergonomic risks in relation to occupational health and safety. For the trainings of the workers; universities, provincial and district directorates of agriculture and agriculture cooperatives can be used.

The concept of belief has an important place throughout human history. People have the right to worship, and the use of places of worship, their design, the accessibility of the disabled and their ergonomic suitability are important. In this study, it is aimed to determine the ergonomics of the mosque space, the current situation of the interior and exterior prayer rooms design with ergonomic criteria, and to analyze the quality of the place for worship. For this purpose, the mosque of Marmara University Faculty of Theology, was examined and the mosque design was evaluated. The study consists of two stages. The first stage is the theoretical part, and it has been researched that the interior and exterior spaces are suitable and accessible to everyone as a whole, in particular, by considering the design of places of worship, universal design principles and the relationship between places of worship, places of worship and ergonomics. In the literature, there has been a lack of ergonomic evaluation of prayer buildings. In the first stage of the study, ergonomic evaluation criteria consisting of anthropometric, physiological, psychological, informatics and behavioral titles were created in order to examine the relationship between ergonomics and place of worship. In the second stage of the study, the mosque was examined in the context of ergonomic criteria; on-site observations were made. At this stage, The physical condition of the space, user behaviors were observed, measurement studies were carried out for anthropometric suitability and analyzes were made for the ergonomic suitability of the space and user satisfaction for the users. Drawings were made on the observation form by the observer and photographs were taken. The Marmara University Faculty of Theology Mosque was analyzed not only as a place of worship, but as a whole.

Environmental problems, one of the most important problems of today, are becoming more visible day by day and they are addressed by many different disciplines. Even though the underlying work or productivity are no longer the only areas of study, ergonomics has proven at some point that it is more than a “science of work” with the criticism it has received. Ergonomics, criticized for its insensitivity to ecological problems for the last 30 years, should be given importance in terms of allowing multidisciplinary studies. From this viewpoint, the focus of the present article is on Neville Moray’s criticisms of this insensitivity and Andrew Thatcher’s definition, and the scope of green ergonomics. Green ergonomics suggest a new approach to ergonomics, starting from the fact that pro-nature designs need to be made. It is possible to implement designs in a way that does not harm nature, in order to solve not only the problems of nature, but also the problems of crowded cities. The present article aims to example that it can provide environmental and social benefits through the studies carried out in cities by referring to green ergonomics. In consideration of the fact that the world is becoming increasingly crowded and that the urban development is experienced rather than rural, it is important to consider the green ergonomics approach in the designs to be made in all areas from food safety to green space requirement.

When the space is considered visually, it is most associated with the cinema. The fictional space is an integral part of cinema and offers designers a great experience. Space-themed movies, which are impressive and popular today, are one of the most effective tools in portraying future scenarios. In space-themed movies with scenarios about the future, designers make researches in terms of interior and furniture use and reveal products with future predictions. In these fictional spaces, furniture often comes to the fore to emphasize and support time-space. Therefore, it is observed that space and furniture designs in space-themed movies about the future are in a different dimension from today in terms of comfort, ergonomics and design understanding. In this study, "Passengers", one of the newest space-themed movie, was chosen as the subject of study. The aim of the study is to reveal the futuristic design approach in space and furniture designs in space-themed movies. The fictional spaces in the film are handled in two different categories as social and individual spaces. These spaces were examined in terms of design-function through the movie visuals and evaluated together with the future scenario of the movie. Fictional spaces and furniture are examined from an ergonomic point of view, and the place of space and furniture design in the universe of the movie is emphasized.

Although nowadays unmanned systems have become widespread with Industry 4.0, it is seen that there are still many labor-intensive production systems. At this point, poka-yoke emerges as a lean production tool that prevents the labor-intensive workforce from making mistakes and ensures that mistakes are prevented before they occur. In this study, a human-induced error in printing the date on the can, one of the last stages of production in a tomato paste canning facility, was tried to be prevented by the poka-yoke study. The performed analysis has determined that the workplace layout and the method of placing the products on the belt are the main reasons for the error. The errors by the developed poka-yoke system have been considerably reduced. In addition, with the reorganization of the workplace, the operator's posture and the station position that could cause errors were fixed, and an employee was enabled to work more ergonomically. As a result of the study, some time and cost advantages were achieved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: Today, occupational diseases are growing more and more significant. This study aims to determine pre-hospital health workers' degree of awareness regarding the risk factors they can run into related to occupational diseases and the factors that affect them.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. The study's sample population consists of 504 pre-hospital emergency medical services employees in Elazig province. The sample group has not been chosen, and the entire population is intended to be reached. The questionnaire consists of 25 questions. Face-to-face interviews using a questionnaire were conducted on a volunteer basis. The rate of participating in the survey was 84.6%. The collected data were entered into a statistical package program. For statistical analysis, Fisher's Exact and Chi-square tests were performed.Results: The participants' average age was 30,61±9,83. Women comprised 59.6% of the workforce, 55.4% of those employed at district health facilities, and 40.9% were paramedics. 90,2% of the participants voluntarily choose the occupation. 93% of workers believed that musculoskeletal illnesses were a danger associated with their line of work. The risk of exposure to violence was the top "stress-generating issue" for 69.6% of workers.Conclusion: The majority of respondents willingly chose the profession. Most frequently, ergonomic issues are considered to be risk factors for employment. Long night shift hours and a misfit night shift coworker are sources of high stress for doctors and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) respectively. It is suggested that health professionals receive more training on occupational diseases, that they become more sensitive to various biological and chemical risk factors, with the exception of common viruses like HBV transmission, and it is recommended to take further action against violence.Keywords: Occupational diseases, health workers, risk factors, emergency medical services, ergonomics

The locus caeruleus, which has a tubular anatomical shape in the pons, affects almost the entire central nervous system despite its small size. Locus caeruleus which was first noticed about two centuries ago is the source of noradrenaline and is dark blue due to the neuromelanin pigment contained in its cells. This is why it is called coeruleus (sky blue) in Latin. This group of cells located bilaterally in the pons contains approximately 45.000-50.000 cells. In recent years we have much more information about the locus caeruleus due to developing technology and optogenetic studies, functional magnetic resonance imaging techniques. It is known that this anatomical device plays a key role in user characteristics such as attention, use, and stress. Because oculomotor functions reflect mental fruits, it has been the focus of attention especially for engineers working in the field of ergonomics. In this review study, it is aimed to reveal the anatomical structure, physiological characteristics and clinical importance of the locus caeruleus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The human body should be comfortable in all actions required by the working environment. Otherwise, problems such as fatigue,decreased job comfort or low productivity will occur.This situation is an important problem especially for individuals such as office staff who work in the same position for a long time. This study was carried out to determine the discomfort and satisfaction levels of office workers with the seating element they use. In this context, a face to face survey was conducted with a total of 192 office employees including 70 female and 122 male in İzmir, Denizli, and Hatay cities. According to the results of the study; it has been shown that the office employees’ satisfaction levels from the elements of sitting used by themselves are high and the usage of features in the element of sitting is more important instead of visual features. Besides, it has been observed that the proportion of those who prefer a hard seat surface has increased with age and the office workers who use the models with adjustable height and depth/wheeled-movable do not have any problems with the seating elements.

In this study, an intermediate product manufactured in an automotive supplier plantis addressed through an integrativeapproach including Kaizen method and facility layout design technique, which are among the process improvement techniques, and the errors in the process are examined. In addition,REBA analysis is conducted for the process. As a result of this study, the prevention and improvement activities for an error that significantly affect customer satisfaction were presented and the expected returns of these activities were determined. While improving the quality of the process with the Kaizen method, suggestions for facility layout have been presented by considering the ergonomic aspects and cost analyzes have been carried out in terms of applicability. In terms of occupational health and safety, when the layout design improvement proposed in this study is realized, 13%to 18% of the insecure conditions, one of the main causes of occupational accidents, will be eliminated and a safer workshop environment will be achieved. In addition, with the design and improvement suggestions presented in this study, the errors that negatively affect customer satisfaction will be reduced, and related financial losses will be prevented, cycle time will be approximately reduced by 25%and a yield of 22% will be obtained from the area utilized and the cost will be reduced.

It is the responsibility and goal of those working in the field of ergonomics to ensure that job demands do not exceed the abilities of employees and to keep a job at a level that can be done all day long. The employee, who is expected to work constantly above the performance limit, gets tired. Fatigue can create negative effects in terms of work efficiency, health, safety and psychological balance of employees. Metabolic energy expenditure rate is a physiological measurement used to determine the maximum work intensity that can be performed continuously without accumulating excessive physical fatigue. In this study, the evaluation of metabolic rate and energy load in the logistics department of a rubber hose manufacturing enterprise was achieved using the metabolic rate expenditure model for manual material handling works. In the current situation, the metabolic energy expenditure rate of the employee was found to be 6,56 kcal/min. With the new conveyor system developed, the metabolic energy expenditure rate was reduced to 4,35 kcal/min and it was kept below the limit value. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Due to the importance of the "water" element in Islam, special structures have been built for water in every period of Islamic history. It is possible to summarize these structures as “fountain”, “sabil” and “shadirvan” in general. It could be stated that among these structures, especially the shadirvans were built for the function of performing ablution in religious buildings such as mosques and masjids. Besides the shadirvans, "ablution places", which are not called "shadirvan" but contain the function of performing ablution, have also been built in the last hundred years. In this study, first of all, all places and structures that have the function of performing ablution are expressed as “structures for performing ablution” and defined under this concept. Afterwards, the common and general architectural features of structures for performing ablution and their ergonomic parameters according to anthropometric data are examined with various examples. Afterwards, a survey was conducted on three hundred and eighty-nine people in order to identify current user problems and complaints regarding these structures. In addition, an interview was conducted with the Construction and Real Estate Department, which is affiliated to the Presidency of Religious Affairs of Turkey, to investigate the current status of the constructions of ablution structures in our country and the production strategies of these structures. As a result of the survey and researches, it has been seen that the structures for performing ablution carry a contemporary architectural problem based on "Function" and "Ergonomics". In the study, with a unique approach, the sub-components of the structures for performing ablution were searched for the mathematical value ranges for these components. Starting from the problematic, the idea of producing design parameters and standards for the production of these structures was proposed in the study, in which solution-oriented ideas are shared in a scientific framework.

Introdução: O gerenciamento de riscos ergonômicos faz parte das atividades de gestão que tem ganhado destaque por suas implicações na saúde do trabalhador, no ganho de produtividade e na diminuição de passivos trabalhistas. Em 2020, em decorrência da pandemia da COVID-19, houve um aumento expressivo da modalidade de teletrabalho, com a migração de 14 milhões de trabalhadores somente no Brasil. No Mato Grosso do Sul 76.791 pessoas estão em trabalho remoto. Objetivo: Analisar as características queixas e desconfortos dos trabalhadores remotos, em teletrabalho, do Mato Grosso do Sul utilizando a ABNT ISO/TS 11226:2017 que possui o questionário nórdico para mapeamento de queixas de segmentos corporais, e de acordo com a resposta do trabalhador mapeando o grau de desconforto por segmento e região, com as opções de resposta para presença de queixa e desconforto: nenhuma, leve, moderada, forte e excessiva. Método: Estudo descritivo, transversal, realizado no período de junho de 2021 a outubro de 2021, através da metodologia bola de neve para convite dos participantes via redes sociais, participaram 34 trabalhadores, sendo vinte e três mulheres e onze homens em trabalho remoto, a amostragem foi por conveniência, os critérios de seleção foram trabalhadores em regime de trabalho remoto com uso de computador em suas residências e acesso à internet, faixa etária de 19-50 anos pareadas por trabalho remoto em ambiente domiciliar, com uso de computador e postura sentada por longos períodos, pelo menos quarenta horas semanais com oito horas diárias, e após responderem um formulário via google FORMS as respostas foram analisadas qualitativamente e a escolha dessa ferramenta nesse estudo possibilitou avaliar as queixas dos trabalhadores respeitando a privacidade do ambiente domiciliar dos participantes, pois estes estão em trabalho remoto, e por isso, foi necessário um questionário on-line. Resultados: A maior parte da população trabalhadora não apresenta queixas e dos que apresentam, os segmentos corporais inferiores de costas lados direito e esquerdo apresentaram o maior número de trabalhadores com queixas em nível forte, sendo cinco trabalhadores totalizando 14,70% das respostas em ambos os segmentos, o segmento corporal superior costas lado direito apresentou o maior número de trabalhadores com queixas em nível moderado, sendo oito trabalhadores totalizando 23,52% das respostas e o segmento corporal pescoço lado direito apresentou o maior número de trabalhadores com queixas em nível leve, sendo onze trabalhadores totalizando 32,35% das respostas.

Introdução: Segundo a Organização Mundial da Saúde (OMS), até 5 milhões de mortes por ano poderiam ser evitadas se a população em todo o mundo fosse mais ativa, ou seja, mais tempo se movimentando e na pandemia da COVID-19, com a necessidade de isolamento, houve uma diminuição na prática de atividade física. Objetivo: Analisar as características de hábitos levantando o tempo dedicado a prática de atividade física, o nível de satisfação dos trabalhadores em teletrabalho e se realizam horas extras. Método: Estudo descritivo, transversal, realizado no período de junho de 2021 a outubro de 2021, cuja amostra por conveniência após convite na metodologia bola de neve com uso de redes sociais foi constituída por 34 trabalhadores, sendo 23 mulheres e 11 homens com faixa etária de 19-50 anos pareadas por trabalho remoto em ambiente domiciliar, uso de computador e postura sentada por longos períodos, pelo menos quarenta horas semanais em oito horas diárias. A análise foi realizada de forma qualitativa através das respostas enviadas pelos trabalhadores via FORMS e a escolha dessa ferramenta nesse estudo possibilitou avaliar os hábitos e nível de satisfação dos trabalhadores respeitando a privacidade do ambiente domiciliar dos participantes, pois estes estão em trabalho remoto, e por isso, foi necessário um questionário on-line. Resultados: Ao serem questionados se realizam pelo menos 150 a 300 minutos de atividade aeróbica moderada a vigorosa por semana, 52,9% dos trabalhadores não realiza e 47,1% realiza, sendo assim a maior parte da população trabalhadora analisada é considerada sedentária. A população trabalhadora ainda que satisfeita, ou muito satisfeita, ou insatisfeita com suas condições de trabalho pontuou oportunidades de melhoria em seus postos de trabalho em casa evidenciando a importância de envolver o trabalhador nas oportunidades para suas condições de trabalho e a carga de trabalho relacionada a quantidade de dias que os trabalhadores realizam horas extras e que por consequência prolongam a sua postura sentada por longos períodos não teve impacto com o grau de satisfação, pois os trabalhadores insatisfeitos não realizam horas extras e os muito satisfeitos e satisfeitos realizam. Vinte e nove trabalhadores, variando entre os graus de satisfação em relação aos seus trabalhos, pontuaram oportunidades de melhoria ao serem questionados o que facilitaria o seu trabalho, a maior parte são sugestões de melhoria relativas a mobiliários, equipamentos e uma melhor organização do trabalho. Conclusão: O estudo indica as possíveis causas, que podem prejudicar a saúde dos trabalhadores, com agentes causadores relacionados a diversos fatores como por exemplo os organizacionais relacionados ao tempo dedicado ao trabalho sedentário e seus impactos na saúde e satisfação do trabalhador.
