Falls from beds and other household furniture are common scenarios that may result in injury and may also be stated to conceal child abuse. Knowledge of the biomechanics associated with short-distance falls may aid clinicians in distinguishing between abusive and accidental injuries. In this study, a validated bed fall computer simulation model of an anthropomorphic test device representing a 1...

For the first step, this study was carried out to find out "cause of death" in labor accidents by using past statistics data and was analyzed it. For the second, Butt dropping tests were carried out to me...

in order to study the effect of elevation on quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the humid forests of guilan shafaroud, series 17, 16 and 7 were selected that fall in to three height classes; class 1 (‏less than 500 m), class 2 (‏500 – 1000 m) and class 3 (‏1000 – 1600 m). in height class 1, 2 and 3 sample plots were determined as 4, 15 and 20 respectively and each sample plot was 0...

This paper aims to identify events of falls causes FFH through a comprehensive literature review. The top three fall that resulted fatalities were falling ladder, scaffold, roof surface. classified into categories: human factors, management environmental factors. sub-factor for eac...

jajrood protected complex (khojir and sorkheh hesar national parks and jajrood protected area) is one of the most important habitats of central alborz wild sheep (ovis gmelini x o. vignei) in iran. since the species mate in fall, then fall home range has critical rule in life cycle of this species. using the ecological niche factor analysis (enfa), effective factors on the presence of species w...

AIMS The aim of this study was to ascertain the average height of occupied patient beds in a general medical ward and to investigate the relationship between staff working-height for patient beds, time and whether the patient was on fall precaution. BACKGROUND The height of occupied patient beds can be an overlooked contributor to inpatient falls. Better physical design of hospital equipment ...
