Preventive interventions to reduce occupational injuries and diseases among farmers require an appraisal of the relative importance of the various risk factors. This paper describes the results of a cross-sectional study investigating determinants of occupational health and injuries among 510 Belgian farmers, looking at health-related behaviors (machinery use, animal handling, fall prevention, ...

Drivers with cognitive impairment are at increased odds for vehicular crashes. Rear-end collisions (REC) are among the most common crash types. We tested REC avoidance in 61 drivers with mild Alzheimer's disease (AD) and 115 elderly controls using a high-fidelity interactive driving simulator. After a segment of uneventful driving, each driver suddenly encountered a lead vehicle stopped at an i...

Occupational accidents are all unplanned events that cause or have the potential to injury, illness, damage other losses, both for workers and company. This study aims determine factors associated with work in Cement Production at PT. Bosowa Maros. The type of research used is quantitative an analytic observational approach using a cross sectional design. population this cement production Semen...

An object-oriented language that permits changing the behavior of a class or of a single object is said to support computational reflection. Existing reflective facilities in object-oriented languages are either complex, type unsafe, or have a large performance penalty. We propose a simple, easy-to-understand, and statically typed model that captures much of the functionalities of other reflect...

We present a simple, yet flexible parameter synthesis approach for Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS). The user defines the behavior of a CPS, a set of (un)safe states, and a generic template for an invariant using Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) formulas. Counterexample-Guided Inductive Synthesis (CEGIS) is then used to compute values for open parameters and a concrete invariant to prove that a...

The coal mine production safety hazards are large, and the situation is difficult, workers affected psychologically, producing unsafe psychological states triggering behavior. This paper firstly studies interactive influence process of state reveals emergence psychology behavior workers. According to characteristics qualitative simulation behavior, personnel, 23 schemes designed, analysis carri...

Current abortion law is restrictive, but its legal interpretation needs to be clarified. In Tanzania, the penal code explicitly states that termination of pregnancy is legally permitted if it is performed to save a woman’s life.1 However, a recent report indicated that since Tanzania’s legal system is based on English common law, the English case of Rex v. Bourne could be applied in the interpr...

An estimated 200,000 children born in Thailand each year are at risk of prenatal exposure to pesticides and associated neurodevelopmental outcomes because of their mothers' agricultural occupations. Children born to non-agricultural workers may also be at risk of exposure from other pathways of maternal pesticide exposure, including exposure through home use, diet, and other environmental media...

This paper presents a formal approach for the analysis and development of effective, safe, and efficient procedures for abnormal and emergency situations. The focus is on methods for describing the behavior of the underlying machine, specification of desirable and unsafe regions of operation, and an algorithmic approach for computation of optimal action sequences. We discuss current gaps in pro...

Application adaptations can involve changing the stucture or the behavior of applications. When performed at runtime, such adaptations may lead application execution to unsafe states. It arises in component and service-oriented platforms as well as aspectoriented frameworks that support run-time adaptation. However such platforms hardly manage adaptation-related errors. In this paper we propose...
