Turkish manufacturing industry is in the top three in terms of occupational accident frequency among sectors. Therefore, there is a need to determine accident cause-effect relationships in order to improve occupational safety and minimize the risks that cause occupational accidents in the manufacturing industry. An integreated data driven approach is proposed to find patterns among occupational accidents in Turkish manufacturing systems. The proposed approach uses multinomial logit model (MLM) and decision tree algorithms, namely C5.0, Classification and Regression Trees (C&RT), The quaternion estimation (QUEST), Chi-square automatic interaction detector (CHAID) ve Random Trees. In this study, 307,590 occupational accidents in the Turkish manufacturing industry between 2013 and 2019 are used. It is found that there is a statistically significant relationship among division, geographical location of the accident, year, deviation, hour day, gender and age for all accidents with injury, death and loss of limb according to the absence of disability. Additionally, division, geographical location of the accident and year are among the top five predictors based on decision tree algorithms. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Capacity vehicle routing problem (CVRP) is a very common problem in the cargo and logistics industry today. In these days we live in the era of big data, with the increasing need, logistics companies are faced with data that the number of nodes to be served is high and their locations are constantly changing. Therefore, this situation is challenging for existing solution techniques. In this study, the success of using machine learning techniques and classical operations research techniques together on solutions for CVRP solution was investigated. For this purpose, a two-stage approach which hybridizes machine learning techniques and mathematical programming formulations is proposed. In the first stage, it was decided the nodes to be assigned to which vehicles via machine learning algorithms, then it is ensured that the resulting clusters' total demand amount do not exceed the vehicle capacity with a method, which is called capacity balancing algorithm. In the second stage, the vehicle starts from the depot and visits all the assigned nodes to find the shortest travelled distance by using the traveling salesman problem (TSP) mathematical model. The machine learning algorithms that are used in this study are for supervised learning category; K-Nearest Neighborhood (K-NN) and logistic regression (LR) algorithms and for unsupervised learning category; K-Means algorithm. In order to analyze the applicability of the proposed hybrid methods to today's ever-changing conditions, the models under the supervised learning category were run on a dataset that were not seen during the training phase. For the proposed approaches, sensitivity analyzes were performed using datasets with different characteristics and dimensions from the literature, with different number of vehicles. And it has been shown that these hybrid approaches produce better results compared to CVRP GUROBI solutions and Large Neighborhood Algorithm on some test problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the unmet need for family planning and its causes in Şanlıurfa. Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with women of childbearing age who applied to family health centres in Şanlıurfa city centre and who did not use any family planning method. Cluster sampling method was used in sample selection and each family health centre was taken as a cluster. A pilot study was conducted to calculate the required number of clusters and the required number of clusters was found to be 16 and the study was completed with a total of 313 women. In the evaluation of the data, percentage, mean and standard deviation from descriptive statistics; Chi-square and Mann Whitney-U test from univariate analyses; Logistic Regression model from multivariate analyses were used. Results: In the study, it was determined that 35.5% of the women had unmet need for family planning (2.6% to interrupt their pregnancies, 32.9% because they did not want to get pregnant anymore). The most important factors that increase the unmet need for family planning are speaking Arabic at home 3.5 times, having 2 or more daughters 1.8 times, being 34 years of age or older 1.2 times, and having 30 months or more since the last birth 1.019 times (p<0.05). Conclusions: In the study, it was determined that the level of unmet need for family planning was approximately 3 times higher than the average of Turkey and that socio-demographic and cultural factors affected the unmet need for family planning.

Static poverty analyses only determine the number of poor people in the population over a given time period, but this aspect reveals a flaw in poverty research. Thorbecke (2007) claims that one of the unresolved issues of poverty is directly or indirectly on the dynamics of poverty. In other words, including the time dimension in poverty analysis is necessary to gain a more comprehensive understanding of poverty. In this study, which takes a dynamic approach to the concept of poverty, the determinants of chronic poverty in Turkey are investigated with a random-effects panel ordered logit model, by using the micro-panel data of the Income and Living Conditions Survey which is published by the Turkish Statistical Institute for the period of 2015-2018. According to the findings, the probability of being temporarily and chronically poor decreases as the age of the individuals increases, the level of education increases, their health status improves and they are being employed. It has also been observed that the probability of being temporarily and chronically poor increases as living conditions become more difficult. Furthermore, women are less likely to be temporarily and chronically poor than men, while married people are more likely than singles to be temporarily and chronically poor. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: In this study, it was aimed to determine the stigmatising attitudes, beliefs and behaviours of women and men living in Şanlıurfa province towards abortion. Materials and Methods: The population of this cross-sectional study consisted of men and women between the ages of 18-65. The sample size was calculated as 292 according to the values obtained from the pilot study. The data of the study were collected by face-to-face interview technique between July and August 2023 by using Personal Information Form and Stigmatising Attitudes, Beliefs and Behaviours Scale towards Abortion. In the evaluation of the data, percentage, mean, standard deviation from descriptive statistics; Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis One-Way Anova and Spearman's Correlation analysis from univariate analysis; Logistic Regression analysis from multivariate analysis were used. Results: In the study, the mean score of the Scale of Stigmatising Attitudes, Beliefs and Behaviours Towards Abortion was 41.39±17.28. In univariate analyses, it was found that the scale score was significantly higher in males, married people, unemployed people, people with poor economic status, Arabic language speakers, people with primary education level and below, and there was a low level positive correlation between age and number of living children and the scale score (p<0.05). In the Logistic Regression analysis, it was determined that the scale score was significantly higher in males, those with poor economic status, those with an educational level of primary education and below, and those with three or more living children (p<0.05). Conclusions: In this study, it was determined that women and men living in Şanlıurfa province had moderate stigmatising attitudes, beliefs and behaviours towards abortion; and gender, education level, economic status and number of living children significantly affected attitudes, beliefs and behaviours.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to examine the risk of sleep disturbance in children and its relationship with computer game addiction during the Coronavirus disease-2019 lock down. Materials and Methods: In our cross-sectional observational study, 343 children and their mothers who applied family medicine clinics of a tertiary hospital between 1 October 2020 and 1 January 2021 were included. A structured questionnaire including the socio-demographic data of the mother and the child, and the Children's Sleep Disturbance Scale and the Children's Computer Game Addiction Scale were applied. Results: One-hundred sixty-five (48.1%) girls and 178 (51.9%) boys aged 8-12 years and their mothers participated in the study. The risk of sleep disturbance was observed at a rate of 74.1% (n=254) and it was strongly correlated with computer game addiction (p<0.001, r=0.787). Game addiction scores of boys (58.66±16.68) and primary school children (60.37±16.41) were higher than game addiction of girls (52.91±17.57), and of secondary school children (55.06±17.39) (p=0.023, p=0.040, respectively). Computer game addiction score (61.89±14.77) of children with sleep disturbance risk was significantly higher (p<0.001) than children without sleep disturbance risk (38.79±11.84). Among the children with a risk of sleep disturbance, the proportion of time spent on the computer compared to the pre-pandemic period (70.1%), the proportion of going late to bed-time (70.0%), and the proportion of being own computer or tablet (71.7%) were found to be higher than the proportions in children (48.3%, 58.4%, 37.1%, respectively) without sleep disturbance (p<0.001, p=0.004, p<0.001, respectively). The level of computer game addiction was significantly increased in children who spent less time with their mothers (58.68±16.97) and less time for games (58.05±18.11) compared to other children (p=0.002). In the logistic regression analysis, it was shown that the game addiction score was 1.128 times higher in children with sleep disturbance risk [Odds ratio=1.128 (1.094-1.162; p<0.001)]. Conclusion: Our study showed that three of four children had a risk of sleep disorders during the pandemic period and were associated with an increased level of computer game addiction and drew attention to the importance of the time spent with the mother.

Objective: As people age, irreversible changes occur in cells and organs as part of the aging process, which can lead to balance disorders and falls that decrease an individual's functionality. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between physical activity levels and balance levels among individuals living in a nursing home. Material and Method: Sixty-seven participants living in the Karabük Yücel Nursing Home, who had no communication problems and were not in the special care unit, were included in the study. All individuals living in the nursing home were included in the evaluation, no sampling was done. A four-part questionnaire was used as the data collection tool. Results: A strong positive relationship was found between International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SHORT) scores and Tinetti Balance and Gait Test scores among the participants in the study. As the physical activity score increased, better balance and gait behaviors were observed. Conclusion: The binary logistic regression analysis applied to determine the age, gender, fall history, Body Mass Index (BMI), and IPAQ score of the individuals participating in the study in terms of their balance level showed that the resulting model was statistically significant. The results showed that individuals with higher levels of physical activity had a significantly lower risk of experiencing balance problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

As a health crisis, COVID-19 has significantly transformed labor markets and working culture around the world. Working from home, which has become widespread within the scope of pandemic measures, required employees to adapt to a new working order, and its effects on the conflict between work and non-work areas quickly became visible. This study analyzes the factors affecting work-life conflict with the help of logit model, taking into account the gender differences and the differences created by COVID-19 in working styles, using European Values Survey, Round 10 and covering nine European countries. The main finding of the study is that the factors affecting work-life conflict differ according to women, men, and countries. Factors affecting work-life conflict in women are age, religion, education level, income, overworking, frequency of working from home, digital communication with colleagues, satisfaction with the government's policies towards families with children during the COVID process, and whether or not they have children. For men, age, religiosity, education level, city scale, employment status and frequency of digital communication with colleagues are factors that affect work-life conflict. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: Intrarenal resistive index (RI) in doppler ultrasonography (DUS) after renal transplantation (RT) is a sensitive indicator of kidney graft function. In our study, we aimed to investigate the predictivity of RI in the first three postoperative days in determining complications. Material and Method: Seventy two adult recipients (54 males, 18 females) who underwent live-to-live renal transplantation and had no intraoperative complications were included in the study. The relationship between the mean RI values obtained in the first three days after transplantation, and recipients' gender, age, body mass index (BMI), comorbidities, postoperative complications in the first three months, serum creatinine values at the end of the third month, duration of dialysis, ischemia time of the transplanted kidney, human leukocyte antigen (HLA) mismatch values, survival and graft loss status, the age of the donors were evaluated. Results: The mean age of the recipients was 33 (15-68) years, with a mean BMI of 21.95 (16.7-42) kg/m2. Postoperative complications were developed in 20 (27.7%) patients. RI was higher in patients with cardiovascular complications compared to those without complications and this difference was statistically significant (p =0.022). A statistically positive correlation was found between RI and recipient age (r =0.278). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, RI>0.65 was determined as an independent risk factor for the development of complications (OR= 7.111, 95% CI=1.965-25.727, p =0.003). Conclusion: An RI>0.65 in the first three days after renal transplantation is an independent risk factor for complications in the first 12 weeks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: COVID-19 turned into a pandemic in a short time. Healthcare workers are at risk of infection due to their contact with both patients and the society. The aim of this study is to examine the demographic structures of a hospital's employees diagnosed with COVID-19, to examine the use of antiviral treatment and the factors affecting it, and to compare the case number curves of the hospital and the province. Methods: Healthcare workers who had been infected with the COVID-19 virus between 01.06.2020 and 28.02.2021 were included in the study. It is a cross-sectional, retrospective study. The patients were evaluated demographically and epidemiologically, and compliance treatment was examined in healthcare professionals who recommended antiviral drugs. Results: 390 (56.3%) of the 693 healthcare workers were males. Mean age of the patients was 33,54±9,41. 140 (20.2%) of them had chronic diseases. 173 (25%) were cigarette smokers. 161 (23.2%) individuals stated the source of infection as hospital. 509 (73.4%) had symptoms at the time of diagnosis while symptoms occurred later in 116 (16.7%). The most commonly observed symptoms included fatigue (48%), myalgia (47.5%) and headaches (46.9%). Of 693 patients, 164 (23.7%) did not use antiviral treatment. The distribution of the number of cases by months was similar when examined on the basis of hospitals and provinces. In the logistic regression analysis, those with symptoms at the time of diagnosis used antiviral treatment 1.779 times and those with chronic diseases 1.804 times more. Conclusion: The similarity of the case distribution in the society and among healthcare workers supports the effect of the use of personal protection equipment. In our study, it was observed that healthcare workers with risk factors for severe COVID-19 had higher adherence to antiviral treatment. Along with the vaccination activities and mutations, the clinical course and prognosis of the COVID-19 might change in time. Therefore, surveillance data should be collected from healthcare workers and evaluations should be made through interim analyses. Information about antiviral treatments should be given.

Background: Hand cleaning is one of the most critical preventive methods against Coronavirus Disease-2019 cross-transmission. Frequent use of soap and hand washing can cause skin damage and lead to hand eczema. The aim of our study is to investigate the incidence of hand eczema in children and associated factors during the Coronavirus Disease-2019 pandemic. Materials and Methods: We distributed a self-administered online survey to the families of the children in Adıyaman, Turkey. The survey included questions about hand eczema-associated symptoms and risk factors before and during the Coronavirus Disease-2019 pandemic. In order to question the hand eczema-associated symptoms, the presence of the following findings was questioned: Dryness, itching, erythema, desquamation, pain/burning, oozing. A participant was included in the hand eczema-associated symptoms group if he/she reported one or more these symptoms. Results: One hundred thirty-three mothers answered the survey. The median age of the children was 12 (interquartile range=5-14.5) years, and 50.4% of the children were girls and 49.6% were boys. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the incidence of hand eczema-associated symptoms increased from 14.4% to 29.7% in children and from 32.3% to 46.6% in mothers (p<0.001 and p=0.007, respectively). Children with and without hand eczema-associated symptoms were compared to determine risk factors for occurrence of hand eczema-associated symptoms in children. The hand eczema-associated symptoms in the mothers, employed mothers and use of hand disinfectant were higher in the children with hand eczema-associated symptoms group (p<0.001, p<0.001 and p=0.013, respectively). Then these three factors, which were statistically significant in univariate analyzes, were compared with the multivariate logistic regression test. The presence of hand eczema-associated symptoms in the mother was found to be only independent risk factor for the presence of hand eczema-associated symptoms in her children (p<0.001; odds ratio=30.42; confidence interval=5.41-170.99). Conclusions: In our study, we found that the incidence of hand eczema-associated symptoms in children and their mothers increased during the Coronavirus Disease-2019 pandemic. Maternal hand eczema-associated symptoms were found to be only independent risk factor for increased incidence of hand eczema-associated symptoms in children. Proper education and preventive strategies for hand eczema are needed for both parents and children. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Atrial fibrillation is the most common arrhythmia in daily practice. Hypertension is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation. P wave dispersion is one of the accepted non-invasive parameters to predict atrial fibrillation. In our study, we aimed to examine whether the P wave durations of the patients followed up with the diagnosis of masked hypertension differed compared to the control group. Materials and Methods: A total of 82 people were included in the study as 40 patients with masked hypertension, and 42 subjects with control group who were similar in terms of age and gender. The laboratory data and electrocardiography parameters of the individuals participating in the study were analyzed retrospectively. P wave durations were calculated from the ECG recordings of all participants. Results: P wave dispersion (44.88±5.63 ms vs. 38.38±6.21 ms, P < 0.001) and P maximum duration (127.28±4.19 ms vs. 121.38±6.05 ms, P < 0.001) in the masked hypertension group significantly higher than the group. Body mass index values of individuals with masked hypertension (26.28±.23 vs. 24.9±2.89, p=0.019) were found to be statistically higher than the control group, and there was no difference between the groups in terms of other laboratory data. P wave dispersion (odd ratio, 1.217;95% confidence interval:1.098-1.347, p<0.001) and body mass index (odds ratio, 1.239; 95% confidence interval: 1.010-1.521, p=0.040) in multivariate logistic regression analysis were found to be independent predıctors of masked hypertension. Conclusions: P wave dispersion and P max duration are prolonged in patients with masked hypertension and these parameters can be used to predict arrhythmia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to create an index, which will be used for monitoring financial stability for Turkey. For this purpose, firstly the concept of financial stability was defined. As a result of the literature review, the variables considered to give information about financial stability were examined and the variables were grouped by principal component analysis. Finally, generated factors were subjected to logistic regression. The variables which were examined in the study include a total of 57 quarters, which is between the second quarter of 2003 and the second quarter of 2017. Three different dependent variables were used in the logistic regression analysis, each of which was formed by taking into consideration the "break points" in the independent variable series. All variables included in the financial stability index were standardized. The financial stability index was formed with the results obtained by the logistic regression analysis, and then; the contribution of the variables to financial stability was interpreted. It will be possible that the stakeholders in the financial system have information about the expected change in the level of financial stability by monitoring the variables which were examined and used in the analysis.

The continuity of urban activity is determined by a number of variables. One of the elements is the continuity of well-managed transportation systems, therefore sustainable transportation systems are becoming an important part of long-term urban development. Squares, as is well known, are the central and common focus of social activity in urban and public spaces. Urban squares function as social areas that are well-organized and demand continual active access via various modes of transportation. This article attempts to identify the variables that come to the fore by presenting the legitimate distribution favored by visitors to The Historical Peninsula's Eminönü, Çemberlitaş, Sirkeci, Beyazıt, and Sultanahmet Squares in a specific manner. Its goal was to verify the aspects that influence these squares' accessibility levels in terms of walking, private automobiles, and public transportation. The marginal effect coefficient estimates for these factors are 36.71 percent, 52.47 percent, and 38.02 percent, respectively, according to the findings of the multinominal logistic regression model. The location of home, monthly transportation cost, and age are the leading factors in shaping the rates of walking, private vehicle, and public transportation use. The least effective elements determining the relevant modal split trends were the monthly transportation cost and education level, in contrast to the frequent conditions that happen in developed cities.

The aim of this study is to determine the factors that influence financially successful and unsuccessful businesses. As part of the study, financial data of 48 businesses included in the BIST 100 index for the 2001-2019 period were tested by logistic regression analysis. Businesses that were financially successful and financially unsuccessful were determined by the Altman Z-Score model criteria. Based on the price detection reports published in the companies' IPO, independent audited balance sheets and income statements for the pre-IPO periods were used, as well as data for the stock transaction period. The relevant data is accessed through the Public Disclosure Platform, Finnet and İstanbul Stock Exchange. As a result of the analysis, it has been determined that the variables that increase the success of the firm are the current ratio, asset turnover, fixed asset turnover and profit before interest and tax / total assets ratio. The variables that decreased operating success were found to be the total leverage ratio, cash conversion duration and return on equity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study investigates demographic and socio-economic characteristics that determine information and communication technology usage for Turkey. For this purpose, the binary logit model was estimated using the survey on information and communication technology usage in households for 2019. The findings of this study show that the most critical factors affecting the probability of internet usage are household income, household size, age, gender, educational attainment, geographic location and occupational status. According to the findings, the higher education levels the higher probability of internet usage. The rise in household income and the number of information equipment owned by the household increases the probability of internet usage. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
