    Comparison and selection of patient follow-up systems for covid-19 pandemic patients
    (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.

    Determining Ergonomic Risks Arising from the Use of Information Technologies in the Covid-19 Environment
    (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.
