Extended Work Periods

Extended work periods.

A literature review of 105 studies on the effects of extended daily working hours was conducted. Potential negative effects of extended working hours are discussed: More accidents on the job; more accidents off the job; reduced duration and quality of sleep due to moonlighting; sleepiness; reduced alertness; fatigue; adverse effects on performance; prolonged toxic exposure; adverse effects on h...

Humanization according to cancer patients with extended hospitalization periods.

OBJECTIVE To identify the concept of humanization and raise aspects that contribute towards and that hinder humanization of hospital care, according to the opinion of oncology patients. METHODS This is a descriptive-exploratory survey, with a qualitative-quantitative approach. The sample was made up of 10 patients hospitalized for more than 30 days at the Oncology Unit of Hospital Israelita A...

Optimal Parallel Algorithms for Periods, Palindromes and Squares (Extended Abstract)

of results Optimal concurrent-read concurrent-write parallel algorithms for two problems are presented: Finding all the periods of a string. The period of a string can be computed by previous eecient parallel algorithms only if it is shorter than half of the length of the string. Our new algorithm computes all the periods in optimal O(loglog n) time, even if they are longer. The algorithm can b...

Non-work periods for a better working life

Simultaneous production planning and scheduling in a hybrid flow shop with time periods and work shifts

Simultaneous production planning and scheduling has been identified as one of the most important factors that affect the efficient implementation of planning and scheduling operations for the production systems. In this paper, simultaneous production planning and scheduling is applied in a hybrid flow shop environment, which has numerous applications in real industrial settings. In this problem...
