Incident reporting systems can be used to detect problems before they result in an accident. They can also be used to strengthen the defences that lead to the detection and resolution of potential problems. There are also significant limitations. For instance, it is difficult to support long-term participation from all elements of a workforce. In spite of these difficulties, incident reporting ...

We consider the problem of solving Natural Language Understanding (NLU) tasks characterized by domain-specific data. An effective approach consists pre-training Transformer-based language models from scratch using data before fine-tuning them on task at hand. A low volume is problematic in this context, given that performance relies heavily abundance during pre-training. To study problem, we cr...

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are devices that exploit living microbes for electricity generation coupled to organics degradation. MFCs are expected to be applied to energy-saving wastewater treatment (WWT) as alternatives to activated-sludge reactors (ASRs). Although extensive laboratory studies have been performed to develop technologies for WWT-MFCs, limited information is available for compar...

AIM Diagnosing attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in patients with substance use disorder (SUD) is a complicated process in which a screening tool may be useful. We analyzed the ASRS-v1.1 validity in patients with SUD, considering the addiction severity and co-morbidity with depressive disorders, antisocial and borderline personality. METHODS Eighty outpatients with SUD were eval...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate adult attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in smokers, Maras powder users and non-users of tobacco products by using the Adult Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder Self-report Scale (ASRS). METHODS The study was performed on 446 males presenting to family health centers in Kahramanmara, Turkey. Of 446 participants, 104 we...

Çalışmamızın amacı sigara içen ve içmeyen üniversite öğrencilerinde anksiyete, depresyon, algılanan yorgunluk, dikkat eksikliği hiperaktivite bozukluğu (DEHB) düzeylerini karşılaştırmaktı. Çalışmaya 302 gönüllü öğrencisi dahil edildi. Katılımcılarda yorgunluk DEHB durumu değerlendirildi. Sigara içmeyenlerin düzeyi, düzeyleri arasında fark görülmedi. grupta; DSM-IV ile ASRS, anksiyete skorları y...

Although construction has been known as a highly complex application field for autonomous robotic systems, recent advances in this field offer great hope for using robotic capabilities to develop automated construction. Today, space research agencies seek to build infrastructures without human intervention, and construction companies look to robots with the potential to improve construction qua...
