OBJECTIVES Workers in the steel industry are exposed to various severe hazards. This study investigated risk factors for non-fatal injury occurring in the workplace and during travel to and from work in steelworkers in Brazil. METHODS Non-fatal work related injuries during employment from January 1977 to September 1992 were analysed in a cohort of 21 732 male workers in the steel plant of USI...

BACKGROUND India is motorising rapidly. With increasing motorisation, road traffic injuries are predicted to increase. A third of a billion children travel to school every day in India, but little is known about children's safety during the school commute. We investigated road traffic injury to children during school journeys. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional survey in Hyderabad using a...

With the rapid growth of car ownership today, choosing self-driving travel has become first choice for many people. At same time, we should pay attention to safety issues in process travel. The “road rage” emotions drivers during driving pose a threat individual driver and passengers car. Based on traffic-oriented intelligent terminal system platform, this article explores ways reduce emotion f...

conclusions: thus, identifying the hf patients before the flight and providing them proper education about the events that may occur during flight is necessary. results: hf patients are more prone to experience respiratory distress, anxiety, stress, cardiac decompensation, and venous thromboembolism (vte) during air travel. although stable hf patients can tolerate air travel, but those with acu...

Nowadays, due to the advances of many industries people tend to travel much more in compared to the past. Without any doubt, various types of climates and weathers, vemacular diseases, changes in life style and qualitative and quantitative changes of nutrition are all the factors of which many diseases occur during trips.

Crews on tankers traveling and hauling cargo on the lower reaches of the Mississippi River during the hot and humid (H&H) summer season face various occupational safety and ergonomics problems. Evaluation of medical data reveals that a large number of the crewmembers experience job related injuries, diseases, disorders, and exhaustion as a result of adverse environmental conditions (National In...

This paper is concerned with the traveling wavefronts of Belousov-Zhabotinskii model with time delay. By constructing upper and lower solutions and applying the theory of asymptotic spreading, the minimal wave speed is obtained under the weaker condition than that in the known results. Moreover, the strict monotonicity of any monotone traveling wavefronts is also established.

Nowadays air travel is one of the most popular traveling as its advantages. A disabled should commute easily, so Facilitation of air traveling is vital. A disabled needs various services which depends on travel steps. These needs should have supported by travel agencies and airport staffs. Therefore, planners must be considering not only physical environment but also well services. This paper i...

BACKGROUND With an ever increasing population of older adults (65+ years) in the USA, a better understanding of this population's travel patterns is needed to improve travel mobility and transportation safety. OBJECTIVE In this study, we described the travel patterns of older adults in the USA during 2015. METHODS Travel patterns of older adults (65-74 and 75+ years) were compared with youn...
