A fossil monkey skull recovered from the "Old Alluvium" of presumed Pleistocene age near Wad Medani in the Central Sudan is described. This find represents a variant of Colobus polykomos abyssinicus, a living species whose habitat is restricted to forest canopy. Since this skull is not abraded and is unlikely to have been water-transported more than a few kilometers to its site of burial, it pr...

This paper presents an approach to describe business process in production systems using workflow concepts. In this sense, we define an extension of the UML Activity Diagram called Workflow Activity Diagram (WAD) which applies the C-WF model concepts. The C-Wf model represents the structural and functional enterprise objects involved in the business processes, such as enterprise activities, hum...

BACKGROUND Whiplash associated disorders (WAD) are the most common non-hospitalised injury resulting from a motor vehicle crash. Approximately 50% of individuals with WAD experience on-going pain and disability. Results from intervention trials for individuals with chronic WAD are equivocal and optimal treatment continues to be a challenge. It may be that traditional quantitative measures inclu...

BACKGROUND Chronic neck pain affects 50% - 85% of people who have experienced an acute episode. This transition and the persistence of chronic complaints are believed to be mediated by brain alterations among different central mechanisms. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to systematically review and critically appraise the current existing evidence regarding structural and functional brain alterat...

The chronic state of whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) might be understood as a somatization of existential pain. Intervention aimed to improve quality of life (QOL) seemed to be a solution for such situations. The basic idea behind the intervention was holistic, restoring quality of life and relationship with self, in order to diminish tension in the locomotion system, especially the neck. A ...

This study proposes a novel coding framework to quantify and categorize the differences between Work-As-Imagined (WAI) Work-As-Done (WAD) based on Safety-II perspective. While Safety-I approach focuses controlling deviations from Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as solution prevent incidents, this aims describe code workers’ adaptive behavior while executing their tasks. The proposed checks...
