The study aims to reveal the efficiency of general intensive care units in public hospitals according to health service regions. The study covers 4 periods between 2016-2020. The population of the study consists of 30 health service regions and a sample is not selected. With the Malmquist Total Factor Efficiency Index Analysis Method, the changes in the productivity values of the general intensive care units according to the health service regions are analyzed. According to the results, it is observed that the total factor productivity of 18 regions increased in 2017 compared to 2016, 10 regions in 2018 compared to 2017, 16 regions in 2019 compared to 2018, and 8 regions in 2020 compared to 2019. Total factor productivity average values of 30 regions according to periods, respectively; 1.016, 0.954, 1.037, and 0.879. When 2016-2020 period is evaluated in general, it is seen that the change in technical efficiency of 11 regions increased, the change in scale efficiency of 7 regions increased, and the change in total factor productivity of 9 regions increased. The averages of technical efficiency, scale efficiency and total factor productivity for the 2016-2020 period are 0.990, 0.992 and 0.969, respectively. In the period of 2019-2020, the first period of the pandemic, it is observed that the total factor productivity, technical and scale efficiency changes decreased. This finding shows that the administrative resources of the general care intensive units could not be managed efficiently at that time, production is not made at the appropriate scale, and the technological investments are not at a sufficient level.

The Covid 19 pandemic, which started to spread at the beginning of 2020, has led to a new paradigm that has been defined as the 'new normal' in the world with its ongoing effects until today. With this study, it is aimed to determine which of the existing forms of government achieves more success in solving the problems which have deepened with the effect of the pandemic and are getting more and more complex with each passing day as we experience as a result of global environmental problems, wars and the unfavorable international political economy. In this context, the 'new normal' has been defined by drawing the conceptual framework of politics and forms of government that have been implemented until today. Then, today's complex problems are analyzed in global security and economy, income distribution, social security, education, environment socio-cultural and other dimensions. In the following section, the selected government models were compared within the framework of the determined parameters, and the success of the problems in the solution was determined. In the conclusion, the contribution of government models to this success has been questioned, and some solution proposals have stated. It has been determined that the form of government alone is not sufficient in the success of solving today's complex problems, and other variables such as power ability, geopolitics, identity, religion and moral values are also effective. In addition, the importance of the power model in the country as well as the way of prioritizing the problems understood, while the importance of how international and domestic policies have been determined as the allocation of budget resources also has revealed.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the knowledge level of healthcare personnel working in pre-hospital emergency care services in Konya province regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the pandemic. Material and Methods: A total of 410 healthcare personnel working in pre-emergency care services in Konya province were included in the study. The data were collected through a questionnaire developed by the researcher inquiring about the demographic data, whether they caught (COVID-19) or not, knowledge about COVID-19, and knowledge and attitudes regarding the use of PPE. Results: The rate of individuals who experienced mild infection was 27.1%, and those who experienced severe disease were 5.6%. It was determined that 83.7% of the healthcare personnel were using PPE. The most commonly used PPE were gloves (90.8%), and the least were visors and eyeglasses (43.8%). When the frequency of the COVID-19 symptoms was analyzed according to age, the symptoms were more frequent in the age group of 40 years and above, and the symptom frequencies were seen to increase with age. Conclusion: It was concluded that the healthcare personnel had received in-service training about COVID-19 and had sufficient knowledge. The rate of PPE use was high, and there was no difference between males and females in catching COVID-19 infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The global impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome COVID-19 has extended beyond physical health, significantly affecting mental well-being worldwide. Amid the pandemic's initial wave, COVID-19 patients exhibited symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder and notably depressive symptoms. Alongside manifestations like delirium, confusion, agitation, and altered consciousness, prevalent mental health issues during the pandemic encompassed depression, anxiety, and insomnia. Individuals recovering from COVID-19 may face enduring psychiatric challenges post-hospital discharge, potentially linked to dopamine. Dopaminergic receptors might heighten the susceptibility of certain viruses to bind with the central nervous system, instigating viral encephalitis in the virus's early infection stages. Dopamine could also disrupt the human basal carotid body's respiratory response to hypoxia. Additionally, the virus could manipulate the immune system by elevating dopamine levels, facilitating viral entry. These findings emphasize the significance of considering dopamine's role in the diagnosis, treatment, and care of COVID-19 patients and those with diagnosed psychosis. Tailored interventions are crucial for individuals exhibiting distinctive features. Another intriguing aspect worthy of investigation is whether dopamine confers protection against COVID-19. This review article aims to elucidate the intricate relationship between the impactful COVID-19 pandemic and dopamine, shedding light on its potential implications and avenues for further exploration.

This article examines the discontinuation of denosumab treatment for osteoporotic fractures during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study found that patients discontinued denosumab due to fear of limited access to hospitals and mobility restrictions. The discontinuation of denosumab without concomitant bisphosphonate use can increase the risk of bone loss and fractures. The study suggests that patients should be informed about the durability of denosumab treatment and temporarily switched to oral bisphosphonate therapy if necessary. However, the study has limitations, including a limited time period and a retrospective design. [Extracted from the article]

Objective: Respiratory pandemics cannot be prevented from spreading if the mask is not worn correctly. This study aims to determine adult's awareness of mask use and the factors that influence mask use. Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in a university hospital during the COVID-19 pandemic (June 2020). Participants were asked to complete a questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics and mask use. Results: In the presented study, 705 people were included. The mean age of the participants was 35.86±8.77 (18-65) years old and 71.2% (n=502) were male, and 45.5% (n=321) were university graduates. Complete compliance with the pandemic rules was achieved by 83.7% of women (n=170) and 58.0% of men (n=291) (p<0.001). While 77.6% (n=547) used surgical/medical masks, 60.4% (n=426) reported using the same mask more than once. Of these, 44.8% (n=191) washed the mask, 36.9% (n=157) ventilated the mask and 18.3% (n=78) did nothing before reuse. Among mask wearers, 51.9% (n=366) reported breathing difficulties and 33.2% (n=234) reported that wearing a mask had a negative psychological impact. Conclusions: It has been determined that there is a lack of information on the use of masks, even during the COVID-19 pandemic where the use of masks is mandatory. It is important that the mask is used correctly to provide effective protection. Efforts should be accelerated to ensure that all segments of the society are sufficiently aware of this issue.

Objective: To examine patients who presented to the emergency department following motorcycle accidents before and during the COVID-19 pandemic period in order to comparatively assess the incidence of these accidents, associated trauma severity, and patient outcomes. Methods: In this retrospective observational study, we evaluated 1,137 patients who presented to the Adult Emergency Department of Bakırköy Dr. Sadi Konuk Training and Research Hospital with injuries caused by motorcycle accidents. The electronic files of the patients who were determined to have presented to the emergency department after a motorcycle accident were screened, and their age, gender, blood pressure, pulse, oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, body temperature (at presentation), time of the accident, motorcycle speed at the time of the accident as reported by the driver, protective equipment used, time of arrival at the emergency department, length of stay in the emergency department and hospital, the types of treatment applied throughout the patients’ stay, and the outcomes of the patients were recorded in the case forms. Results: Of the 1135 patients included in the study, 129 (11.4%) presented to the emergency department before the pandemic and 1,006 (88.6%) during the pandemic period. There were 1,055 (93%) male patients and 80 (7%) female patients. Of all the patients, 145 (12.9%) were hospitalized, and 990 (87.2%) left the hospital. Of those who left the emergency room, 42 (3.7%) refused treatment, and 35 (3.1%) left without the physician’s approval. Of the hospitalized patients, 20 (1.8%) were admitted to the intensive care unit, and four (0.4%) were referred to other hospitals. Upon examination of in-hospital mortality, it was determined that 1,132 (99.7%) patients survived, and three (0.3%) died. When assessing the association between injury locations according to the use of full-body protective equipment, a correlation was found in terms of head and neck, lung, extremity, pelvis, and multi-trauma injuries. Conclusion: Regardless of traffic density, the use of protective equipment by motorcycle drivers prevents serious injuries in accidents. The EMTRAS and ESI scores are clinical prediction tools that can be used to predict mortality and morbidity in motorcycle accidents [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The importance of prone positioning has increased with the density of coronavirus disease-2019-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (C-ARDS) during the pandemic process. It is aimed to investigate the effect of prolonged duration of prone positioning in C-ARDS patients on the blood gas parameters at the time after supine positioning (post-prone effect), the feasibility, the safety, and the mortality for 28 days. Materials and Methods: This study was a single-center prospective observational study with 1000 beds, 432 of which were intensive care units. Severe and moderate ARDS; the blood gas parameters (PaO2 /FiO2, PaO2, SpO2 etc.) of the patients who were applied the standard prone (16 hours) and the extended prone (36 hours) position were compared. Results: It was observed that PaO2 /FiO2 PaO2 and SpO2 values measured at the 8th hour (t4) (postprone) after the prone was placed in the supine position in the prolonged prone group were higher than before the prone (t1) (p<0.001). In the standard prone group, PaO2 /FiO2, PaO2, and SpO2 values were not maintained in the post-prone period and were even lower than before the prone. The mortality of patients in the standard prone group was 51.7% (n=31); in the prolonged prone group, the mortality was 45% (n=27). Conclusion: With the application of the prolonged prone position, it has been observed that C-ARDS patients have better blood gas exchange with less manpower without harming the patients (pressure ulcer, retinal damage, joint damage, etc.).

The existence of the Manpower Law is one of the government's ways to reduce labor problems, for example problems in wages. Minimum Wage and Overtime Wage, namely basic wages and fixed allowances, are still a dispute in wages because the Indonesian people consider that the calculation of wages is not appropriate and then added with termination of employment which temporarily makes anxiety in the minds of labor workers by adding to the Covid-19 pandemic period which makes the lack of respect for work from labor workers. The purpose of this research is to provide valuable insights to public policymakers about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on labor workers and related layoff issues. One of the benefits of the study is to help identify areas where labor workers are vulnerable to layoffs. This research uses legal research with a doctrinal approach that is normative, or normative juridical legal research or normative legal research. The results of labor protection research consist of economic, social, and technical protection. Economic protection includes sufficient income, including when the workforce is unable to work. Social protection involves health care and freedom of association. Technical protection relates to occupational security and safety. Termination of Employment (PHK) is regulated by Law Number 13 of 2003 and refers to the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia, where companies are urged to take steps such as reducing wages or laying off workers.

Background: This research evaluates the results of a distance biostatistics training for physicians during the COVID-19 pandemic. Materials and Method: Online basic-level biostatistics training consisting of six courses was conducted between 21 October-30 December 2020. At the beginning and after the training, the structured Biostatistics Basic Knowledge Questionnaire consisting of 20 questions developed by the researchers was applied to the physicians who took the training. Results: A total of 198 medical doctors participated. At the end of the training, 21 of those who participated in the research at the beginning attended more than half of the courses, 45 of them attended less than half of the courses, and 132 physicians did not attend any of the courses. 80.8% of the participants stated that they took the training to make their statistics in their scientific research. After the training, regardless of their professional title and department, the score change was not significant for those who did not attend the classes at all, (p=0.306), while it was found that the score increased significantly for those who attended less than half and those who attended more than half of them (p<0.001 for both). Conclusion: The high achievement of even those who attended only some of the courses after the training shows that such distance education models should be developed and widely extended.

The implementation of basic immunizations for toddlers has been delayed due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Many parents in Pangguh Village, Ibun District, Bandung Regency are afraid of contracting Covid 19 when carrying out basic immunizations for their toddlers. As a result, the willingness to carry out basic immunizations for toddlers decreases. The aim of this community service is to increase awareness of parents who have children under five to carry out basic immunizations for toddlers. This community service is carried out in a hybrid manner from preparation to implementation of health education. The activity was attended by 56 people. The results of the activity showed that before the health education was carried out the average knowledge score was 3.61 and after it was carried out it increased to 5.96 with a p value <0.05. An increase in knowledge is a good start for the community in understanding the importance of basic immunization for toddlers. It is hoped that people who take part in this activity can also share information with the surrounding community, especially in the Pangguh Village area, Ibun District, Bandung Regency.

Meningkatnya emisi gas rumah kaca (GRK) menjadi suatu ancaman bagi dunia setelah pandemi COVID-19 mulai terkendali. Dunia berkomitmen untuk menurunkan emisi karbon, tak terkecuali Indonesia. Komitmen tersebut diproyeksikan dalam kebijakan pajak karbon dalam Undang-Undang Harmonisasi Peraturan Perpajakan sebagai instrumen ekonomi lingkungan hidup. Pajak karbon berfungsi regulerend yang dalam hal ini mengatur pola konsumsi terhadap energi tidak terbarukan yang menghasilkan emisi karbon. Fungsi lain pajak karbon adalah menambah penerimaan negara atau menjalankan fungsi budgeter. Pada praktiknya, upaya penerapan pajak karbon menemui suatu dilema. Dilema tersebut dianalisis dalam penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan, pendekatan perbandingan yang mengkomparasi aturan pajak karbon di beberapa negara, dan pendekatan historis yang menelaah latar belakang dari munculnya peraturan mengenai pajak karbon. Hasil penelitian dalam penulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa: Pertama, masih ditemukan problem regulasi, struktural, dan kultur pada pengaturan pajak karbon di Indonesia saat ini. Kedua, pajak karbon potensial untuk menurunkan tingkat emisi karbon sekaligus memberikan sumber pendapatan bagi negara sehingga berperan bagi pertumbuhan ekonomi dan diproyeksikan dapat menjalankan misi penurunan emisi karbon pada agenda Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Günümüzde üniversite öğrencilerinin eğitime ve eğitim materyallerine internetten erişim oranları oldukça artmıştır. Eğitimde internetin kullanılması ve ders materyallerine erişimin artmasına bağlı olarak analiz edilebilecek veri setinde artış meydana gelmiştir. Bu veri setlerinden bir tanesi de (planlı veya acilen) uzaktan eğitim sürecine geçen üniversitelerin, uzaktan eğitim sistemlerinde biriken ödev, sınav, proje, performans, devam notları ve benzeridir. Yeni Korona Virüs (Covid-19) pandemisinde Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu’nun (YÖK) tavsiyesi ile üniversiteler eğitimlerine uzaktan Asenkron, Senkron ve Hibrit yöntemlerini kullanarak devam etmiş, hatta sınavları uzaktan eğitim sisteminde yapmak zorunda kalmışlardır. Bu araştırmada, Kayseri Üniversitesinin Uzaktan Eğitim Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi (KAYUZEM) sisteminden alınmış veriler kullanılmıştır. Araştırma kapsamında 8319 işlenmiş veri bulunmaktadır. Bu veriler üzerinde Veri Madenciliği (VM) alanında kullanılan RapidMiner programının otomatik modelleme özelliği kullanılarak varsayılan algoritmalarla geleceğe yönelik tahminleme işlemi yapılmıştır. Varsayılan algoritmalar arasından en iyi sonucu veren Derin Öğrenme, Naive Bayes, Gradient Boosted Trees, Lojistik Regresyon kullanılmış ve bu otomatik modelleme de yer almayan k-En Yakın Komşu (k-NN) algoritması da çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Bu 5 algoritmanın parametreleri üzerinde değişiklikler yapılarak daha iyi sonuçlar elde edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Öğrenci başarısına göre en iyi tahminleme sonucunu, Lojistik Regresyon ile kurulan model vermiştir. Derse katılma yöntemlerinin tümünün (Senkron, Asenkron ve Hibrit) öğrenci başarısına etkisi Karışıklık Matrisi yöntemiyle karşılaştırılmıştır ve en güvenilir yöntemin Hibrit olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışma ile üniversitelerde derse katılma yöntemlerinden hangisinin, öğrenciler açısından daha güvenilir olacağına yönelik çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur. Dolayısıyla yapılan çıkarımlar ile birlikte bir dahaki akademik dönem için öğrenci başarı düzeyinin artması yönünde, derse katılma yöntemlerinden hangisinin daha güvenilir olduğu konusunda tahminleme mümkün olmuştur.

Denne artikkelen utfordrer den norske EU-debatten ved å sette søkelys på et oversett, men stadig viktigere politikkområde for europeisk samarbeid, nemlig helsepolitikk og mer spesifikt helseberedskap. EU har iverksatt store prosjekter knyttet til helseberedskap i kjølvannet av koronapandemien. Norge er omfattet av noen av disse gjennom EØS-avtalen, men står også utenfor viktige initiativer. Denne artikkelen tjener to formål: den kartlegger den pågående utviklingen i EU på helseberedskapsområdet og vurderer i hvilken grad nettopp dette området bør ta mer plass i den norske europadebatten og debatten om holdbarheten til dagens status quo. Artikkelen identifiserer videre to konkrete områder som er sentrale for Norge knyttet til helseberedskap. Det ene dreier seg om utviklingen av EUs helseunion og Norges politiske arbeid med å sikre formell tilgang til alle initiativene som nylig har blitt utviklet i EU. Det andre er virkningene EUs sterkt intensiverte arbeid med helseberedskap har for norsk helseindustri. Artikkelen konkluderer med at norske sårbarheter er særlig knyttet til det politiske utenforskapet, men at disse sårbarhetene må sees i sammenheng med eventuelle bidrag norsk helseindustri kan gjøre i det europeiske helsemarkedet dersom Norge blir tettere tilsluttet helseunionen.

Aims: Many studies have shown the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on postpartum depression (PPD) as a stressor. In this study, we aimed to examine the frequency of PPD and the associated sociodemographic-obstetric factors in mothers who gave birth or were in the third trimester during the fourth wave of the pandemic. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 211 women who underwent a postpartum checkup between December 2021 and August 2022. All women had given birth or spent the last part of their pregnancy in the fourth wave of the pandemic. PPD was measured using the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS). In addition, the authors assessed sociodemographic and obstetric characteristics with a form. Results: The prevalence of PPD was 22.7% (EPDS cut-off score ≥ 13). EPDS scores were higher in those with inadequate social support, fear of childbirth, or having a past psychiatric illness. Conclusions: In the late pandemic, the negative effect on PPD does not seem to continue. However, PPD remains a significant public health problem in Turkiye. In addition, some sociodemographic characteristics associated with PPD continue to pose risks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the Covid-19 pandemic, many companies chose to lay off their employees, starting from those who were temporarily laid off or until termination of employment (PHK) and arrears of workers' BPJS Health contributions. The purpose of this research is to examine and analyze the form of fulfilling the right to health of workers in terms of human rights and the actions of companies that are in arrears in paying BPJS Health contributions to workers in terms of human rights. Based on the research it was concluded that the right to health is a human right. Legal protection for the fulfillment of public health rights is guaranteed in the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia Article 28 H paragraph (1). One form of fulfilling workers' health rights is by requiring companies to pay BPJS Health premiums for workers. The actions of companies that are in arrears in paying BPJS Health contributions for workers are not in accordance with efforts to fulfill human rights. The arrears in BPJS Health contributions risk causing workers to not get health services, payment of fines and termination of public services such as making a driver's license or passport.

The COVID-19 epidemic, defined as a disaster in the last quarter of 2019, has negatively affected all humanity, causing people to be physically separated from each other but united in the struggle. During this period, the media played an important role in history, playing a unifying, daily and constant role in the struggle the world. The COVID-19 epidemic, which caused the course of education, economy, healthcare system and social life around the world, showed how helpless human beings who have mastered advanced technologies are in the face of deaths and crises. It has been observed that the media conveys this despair to the whole world with an instant dystopian narrative. This has been the reason why negativity that threatens the world continues in a direction that drags people into a dystopian world of pessimism and anxiety. Based on these ideas that constitute the hypothesis of the study, first the concepts of media and dystopia were explained and shared, then the progress of COVID-19 was summarized and then method was applied. In the analysis conducted as a result of the research, it was observed that dystopian visual images were frequently used in the narratives about the ratios of the media and these ratios were presented in an uncontrolled way in the media. The study aims to reveal the accuracy of the assumption that epidemic news in digital media is fictionalized using dystopian images. In the study, firstly, the concepts of media and dystopia were explained and related to each other, then the COVID-19 epidemic process was summarized, and then the dystopian visual images used in news fiction were analyzed with the method of semiotics. In the analysis made at the end of the research, it was observed that digital media frequently used dystopian visual images in the presentation of epidemic news. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
