    (Springer, 2022) Eren, Tamer; Danisan, Tugba; Deringoz, Aysegul; Aksut, Guler
    People have struggled with many infectious diseases throughout history. Today, the Covid-19 is being fought. One of the most important things for people who have or are at risk of getting Covid-19 is social isolation. Many countries resort to different ways to ensure social isolation. For this, remote patient monitoring systems have been developed. In this study, the problem of the selection of Covid-19 remote patient monitoring systems is discussed. Seven Wearable Health Technology (WHT) products were evaluated with a total of 10 criteria, including the important symptoms used in the patient tracking systems. The weights of 10 criteria determined by the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method were calculated, and these weights were used in the solution of The Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE), and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS) methods. WHT products were compared. As a result, the most appropriate patient follow-up system was determined. This study generates differences in terms of evaluating seven different products and ten criteria in total with MCDM methods. A more comprehensive evaluation has been made in the literature than the studies in this field.

    (Taylor & Francis Inc, 2023) Aksut, Guler; Alakas, Haci Mehmet; Eren, Tamer
    Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) emerging in Wuhan, China, most employees had to work from home in unsuitable conditions. Employees are more affected by the factors that cause musculoskeletal disorders when working from home using information and communication technologies. The aim of the study was to determine the ergonomic risks related to the musculoskeletal system that teachers, who made up a large number of employees working in the service sector during the COVID-19 period, may be exposed to working remotely. For this, first of all, in line with the literature review and expert opinions, physical, psychosocial, and individual risk factors related to the musculoskeletal system were determined and the weight of the risk factors was calculated with the Analytic Network Process method. Work duration, posture, and physical environment constituted the highest risk factor among physical factors. With the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations, information and communication devices were ranked according to their effects on the user. The ranking is determined by mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers. It is concluded that it is necessary to pay attention to the risk factors specified in the use of these devices in order to prevent musculoskeletal system damage.

    Evaluation of ergonomic criteria with an AHP-based approach in the textile industry and ordering alternatives
    (Inst Natl Cercetare-Dezvoltare Textile Pielarie-Bucuresti, 2023) Aksut, Guler; Eren, Tamer
    ordering The textile sector, which has a wide application area worldwide and in Turkey, is one of the most critical sectors. Ergonomic risks, which are the most important risk factors of the sector, which contain many dangers in terms of work accidents and occupational diseases, affect the health and safety of the employee. In this area where human dependence continues, and labour-intensive production exists, it is aimed to make an ergonomic risk ranking of the sections of a textile factory within the borders of Yozgat province. Within the scope of this target, alternatives, criteria, and sub-criteria were determined after scientific literature, expert opinions, interviews with managers and employees, and a detailed examination of the textile factory, and the ranking of alternatives was made with the AHP method. Alternatives include sewing, ironing, quality control, packaging and shipping, slaughterhouse, and printing. The riskiest section has emerged as the sewing workshop. This study will not only increase the awareness of ergonomics and reduce occupational health and safety problems but also contribute to reducing workplace costs and losses.

    Evaluation of personal protective equipment to protect health and safety in pesticide use
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2024) Aksut, Guler; Eren, Tamer
    Introduction Agriculture emerges as one of the most dangerous industries in the world, considering injury and illness rates. After the service sector in Turkey, the next large-scale sector is the agricultural sector, which constitutes 20% of the general employment. The exposure of farmers to pesticides, used to increase the quality and productivity of agricultural products, causes health risks via the mouth, respiration, skin, and eyes. Pesticide use in Turkey is increasing; the annual average increase is estimated at 1.2%. Exposure to pesticides can be reduced by wearing personal protective equipment to protect against health and safety hazards.Objective This study aimed to determine the importance of personal protective equipment using the multi-criteria decision-making method to prevent the risk of injury and disease resulting from pesticide use.Materials and methods The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to find the weights of the criteria determined by expert opinion and a literature review. The Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) was used to rank personal protective equipment.Results Personal protective equipment includes masks, gloves, overalls, safety shoes, glasses, and hats. The use of multi-criteria decision-making methods in health and safety in the agricultural sector will contribute to the literature.Conclusion Emphasizing the use of personal protective equipment, especially when using pesticides, will increase the rate of use of protective measures.

    Model proposal for physically ergonomic risky personnel scheduling problem: An application in textile industry for female employees
    (Gazi Univ, Fac Engineering Architecture, 2023) Aksut, Guler; Alakas, Haci Mehmet; Eren, Tamer; Karacam, Hikmet
    One of the most important risks encountered in the textile sector, a labor-intensive industry where women work intensively, is ergonomic risks, which are the basic and inseparable part of occupational health and safety practices. Repetitive movements, improper posture, working in the same position for a long time are the most common ergonomic risks and cause musculoskeletal disorders. The high incidence of this disease in the textile industry also reveals the need for ergonomic regulation. Job rotation allows employees to work in different positions, thus balancing individual ergonomic risks. In this study, it is aimed to improve occupational safety and health by reducing the number of employees who are exposed to high ergonomic risks. For this purpose, the physical risks of 15 distinct missions in the t-shirt production process from sewing to packaging in a textile company producing t-shirts were determined by the REBA method. By creating a mathematical model with goal programming, staff scheduling was prepared to reduce the ergonomic risk in the employees, providing alternate work with weekly job rotation. As a result, the staff schedule will reduce employee health and safety problems, increase productivity and quality of life, and increase employee concentration and job satisfaction. In addition, it prevents employees from permanently working in high-risk locations and will increase the firm's efficiency by balancing the risks they are exposed to.

    SELECTION OF WEARABLE SENSORS FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY USE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY
    (Vilnius Gediminas Tech Univ, 2023) Aksut, Guler; Eren, Tamer
    Construction industry workers; are exposed to serious safety and health risks, hazardous work environments, and intense physical work. This situation causes fatal and non-fatal accidents, reduces productivity, and causes a loss of money and time. Construction safety management can use wearable sensors to improve safety performance. Since there are many types of sensors and not all sensors can be used in construction applications, it is necessary to identify suitable and reliable sensors. This requirement causes a sensor selection problem. The study aims to determine the priority order of physiological and kinematic sensors in preventing risks in the construction industry. Within the scope of this purpose, five criteria and seven alternatives were determined in line with the literature research and expert opinions. The criteria weights were calculated with the AHP method, and the alternatives were ranked with PROMETHEE and AHP. Providing a proactive approach to the use of sensors in the construction industry will provide safer working conditions, identify work-ers at risk, and help identify and predict potential health and safety risks. It will contribute to the literature on improving construction health and safety management.
