Burnout is a phenomenon that affects employees’ labor efficiency negatively and reduces their professional efficacy. Burnout has been a topic of investigation in many studies as a dependent or independent variable. In this study, in which the effect of burnout on job satisfaction will be investigated, burnout will be used as an independent variable whereas job satisfaction will be used as a dependent variable. Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) will be used to measure employees’ burnout dimension. The scale was developed by Maslach (1981) and adapted to Turkish and tested for validity and reliability by Ergin (1992). The scale consists of three sub-dimensions, namely emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and a feeling of decrease in personal accomplishment, and 22 items. For job satisfaction, on the other hand, Minnesota Job Satisfaction Questionnaire will be used. This questionnaire was developed by Weiss et al. (1976) and its original (longer) form contains 100 statements. Its shorter version involving 20 questions will be used in this study. The study was conducted on 500 employees working in the textiles sector in the province of Konya and only 251 survey data could be used within the scope of the study.

The Fairness Stitch: A Novel Approach for Neural Network Debiasing

Author(s): Modar Sulaiman,Kallol Roy / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

The pursuit of fairness in machine learning models has become increasingly crucial across various applications, including bank loan approval and face detection. Despite the widespread use of artificial intelligence algorithms, concerns persist regarding biases and discrimination within these models. This study introduces a novel approach, termed “The Fairness Stitch” (TFS), aimed at enhancing fairness in deep learning models by combining model stitching and training jointly, while incorporating fairness constraints. We evaluate the effectiveness of TFS through a comprehensive assessment using two established datasets, CelebA and UTKFace. The evaluation involves a systematic comparison with the existing baseline method, fair deep feature reweighting (FDR). Our analysis demonstrates that TFS achieves a better balance between fairness and performance compared to the baseline method (FDR). Specifically, our method shows significant improvements in mitigating biases while maintaining performance levels. These results underscore the promising potential of TFS in addressing bias-related challenges and promoting equitable outcomes in machine learning models. This research challenges conventional wisdom regarding the efficacy of the last layer in deep learning models for debiasing purposes. The findings suggest that integrating fairness constraints into our proposed framework (TFS) can lead to more effective mitigation of biases and contribute to fairer AI systems.

Author(s): Krishna Prasad Narasimha Rao,Selvan Chinnaiyan / Language(s): English Issue: 3/2024

Patient-centric access control in healthcare data management is paramount for ensuring privacy, confidentiality and security. In this paper, we propose a novel blockchain-powered patient-centric access control system integrated with MIDC AES-256 encryption to enhance healthcare data security. The proposed system prioritizes patient autonomy by granting patients control over access to their detailed health information, while hospitals are authorized to share relevant medical history. Using blockchain technology ensures decentralization, transparency and immutability of data, while smart contracts and consensus mechanisms enforce accountability and integrity. Additionally, the system employs MIDC AES-256 encryption, which combines multi-input data concatenation (MIDC) with AES-256 encryption, optimizing data integrity and security. The study involves a comparative analysis with existing methods including ABE, RSA and hybrid algorithm AES. The results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed system in terms of encryption speed, decryption time and memory usage. The proposed system achieves an encryption time of 3.8 seconds and a decryption time of 3.2 seconds, significantly outperforming ABE, RSA and hybrid algorithm AES. Moreover, the system exhibits lower memory usage (0.146 MB), highlighting its efficiency and scalability. The proposed system is implemented in Python, providing a versatile and accessible solution for healthcare data security enhancement. Through blockchain-powered patient-centric access control and MIDC AES-256 encryption, our system offers a robust framework for securing sensitive healthcare information while prioritizing patient privacy and control.
