! Sample Leading Indicators • New actions, use strategies and techniques • Use cumulative & effective language • From “caused” to”contributed to” • Adjustments made • Report more comfort/energy, less fatigue, “easier” • Fewer negative comments about machines/tools • Purchasing/Contracting supports • Used at home/personal activities • Say shared with family members • Safety Committees trained • ...

Materials, including bone, often fail due to loading in the presence of critical flaws. The relative amount, location, and interaction of these flaws within a stressed volume of material play a role in determining the failure properties of the structure. As materials are generally imperfect, larger volumes of material have higher probabilities of containing a flaw of critical size than do small...

Oncology nurses may experience intense physical and emotional exhaustion, identified in the literature as symptoms of cumulative grief and compassion fatigue, with significant consequences for both nurses and organizations. The first step in preventing these consequences is recognition. Organizations should provide nurses with resources including education, counseling, and opportunities to grie...

A : When I started working in health care, practitioner well-being was not something that received much attention, and I knew little about it. After several years as a crisis counsellor, working with clients in high-trauma situations, I found that my relationship to my work was changing: I was feeling less empathy, more irritation toward my colleagues and constant anger about budget cuts and in...

BACKGROUND Dyspnea and fatigue are distressing symptoms commonly seen in heart failure (HF) patients, and are closely related to patients' disease trajectory of contributes. Identifying the effect of symptom trends on disease outcomes is important to develop effective symptom management interventions in HF patients. METHODS One hundred and twenty-two patients were recruited. Dyspnea, fatigue,...

BACKGROUND Resistive load applied to the airways may induce diaphragmatic fatigue, and hypoxaemia has been shown to predispose to the development of fatigue. Inspiratory muscle fatigue may occur in patients with obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), as these patients repetitively develop both inspiratory loading and hypoxaemia. The results of previous studies on this topic are inconclusive,...

Carburized Cr-Ni steel is widely used in the manufacture of components many fields due to excellent performance, which service life has been a concern. In order investigate high-cycle-fatigue and very-high-cycle-fatigue properties carburized gear steel, axial loading fatigue tests were performed by QBG-100 with stress ratios −1, 0 0.3. The Generalized Pareto distribution was evaluate inclusion ...

To more accurately predict the fatigue life of components under action random loads, it is necessary to explore influence interaction between load sequence and on prediction. Based Manson-Halford method Corten-Dolan model, this paper establishes a cumulative damage model that takes into account both order also loads near limit. The mechanical parts can be calculated through which provides theor...

The aim of this study was to predict the fatigue life of two different connections of a dental implant as in load transfer to bone. Two three-dimensional models were created and assembled. All models were subjected to a natural masticatory force of 118 N in the angle of 75° to the occlusal plane. All degrees of freedom in the inferior border of the cortical bone were restrained, and the mesial ...
