Fuzzy bow-tie analysis for mitigating self-heating risks in maritime coal transportation.

Coal self-heating presents significant risks to maritime transportation, including spontaneous combustion, environmental damage, and economic losses. This study aims to apply a Fuzzy Bow-Tie analysis to assess and mitigate the risks associated with coal self-heating during transportation. By integrating expert judgments and addressing uncertainties in the data, the Fuzzy Bow-Tie model offers a comprehensive evaluation of risk factors and safety barriers.

Animal Welfare Investigation of Akkaraman Sheep Farms in Different Provinces of Türkiye.

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the animal welfare levels in Akkaraman sheep breed in Türkiye. In this direction, welfare assessment was carried out at the farm level with the Animal Needs Index (ANI 35L/2000) method in a total of 71 Akkaraman sheep flock applications on animals were carried out on a total of 1525 sheep. According to the ANI score scale, the average score of all farms was determined as 39.

The effect of climate index on growth values from birth to breeding in Akkaraman sheep.

Under specific agroclimatic conditions, growth is an adaptability parameter resulting in reduced performance with decreasing animal comfort of a sheep breed. In this study, a total of 1011 lambs' live weights (LW) and average daily weight gains (ADG) in 16 different farms between 2018 and 2020 (birth to 18 months) were determined in Akkaraman herds raised in Çankırı Province of Turkey. Comprehensive Climate Index (CCI) was examined to determine the effect of climate.

Reducing the question burden of patient reported outcome measures using Bayesian networks.

Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) are questionnaires completed by patients about aspects of their health status. They are a vital part of learning health systems as they are the primary source of information about important outcomes that are best assessed by patients such as pain, disability, anxiety and depression. The volume of questions can easily become burdensome.
