Forests form an organic unity with a great number of organic and inorganic components and tend to maintain the sustainability of their existing balance. However, some factors which adversely affect the balance of nature may interrupt this sustainability. The epidemic which is formed by bark beetles in their spreading region, due to various factors, changes the stability so much that interference is required. One of the most common methods used to monitor these beetles is pheromone-baited traps. The recognition of parameters, such as date (day/month/year), temperature and humidity, when bark beetles are captured in pheromone-baited traps, especially those used for monitoring will help to increase the trap efficiency on land and to develop an effective strategy for combating pests. In this study, an electronic control unit was added to pheromone-baited traps in order to obtain all of the above mentioned parameters. This unit operates with microcontrollers and data related to the parameters is saved in a storage unit. This is triggered by the beetle at the moment it is captured in the trap. A photovoltaic system was used to meet the energy needed for the system functioning and to complete the counting process in due time.
ÖzetOrmanların sürdürülebilir bir yaklaşımla toplum hizmetine sunulmasını olumsuz yönde etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden biri de orman yangınlarıdır. Orman yangınlarıyla mücadele iyi bir organizasyonu gerektirdiği gibi çalışan işçiler içinde yüksek düzeyde kas kuvveti gerektirmektedir. Orman yangınlarındaki iş organizasyonunda çalışanlara ait görev dağılımı yaparken veya orman yangın işçisi seçiminde bulunurken kas gücünün bilinmesine gerek duyulabilir. Bu çalışma ile Kastamonu ve Bursa yöresindeki orman yangın işçilerinin "maksimum izometrik istemli kavrama kuvveti" kapasitesini belirleyerek Türk insanına ait kavrama kuvvetlerindeki yerinin ortaya konulması hedeflenmiştir. Böylece orman yancın işçilerinin maksimum izometrik el kavrama kuvveti yaş, vücut pozisyonu ve desteğe bağlı olarak belirlenmiş, Türk insanına ve diğer bazı milletlere ait kavrama kuvveti ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Beraberinde orman yangın işçilerinin el uzunlukları ile kullandıkları ekipmanlar arasındaki uyum da araştırılmıştır.Anahtar Kelimeler: İzometrik Kavrama Kuvveti, El uzunluğu, Orman Yangın İşçisi
A Study on the Determining the Isometric Hand Grip Strength of Fireworkers AbstractForests fires are one of the important factors effecting negatively to public uses of forests and its functions. To combat with forest fires it is required to have a good organization and require a high level of muscle strength for workers. Muscle strength was needed to be known for selection the employees or making the task distribution on forest fires. This study was aimed to find out the location of the grip forces of Turkish people, by determining "maximum isometric hand grip strength" of fire worker, working at Kastamonu and Bursa Regions. Therefore, the maximum isometric of hand grip strength was determined, depending on age, body posture, and its support. The results of grip strength of people in Turkey and other nations were compared.
