background: provide a review of occupational medicine history in world and iran methods: many books, papers and sites on the occupational medicine history were reviewed. results: occupational medicine have been shaped by the forces that shape work itself, social evolution, changing modes of production, shifting economic powers, and demographic changes in the workforce. hippocrates emphasized th...

We study the nonlinearity (NL) in the conversion from charge to voltage in infrared detectors (HXRG) for use in precision astronomy. We present laboratory measurements of the NL function of a H2RG detector and discuss the accuracy to which it would need to be calibrated in future spacemissions to perform cosmologicalmeasurements through theweak gravitational lensing technique. In addition, we p...

Attitudes and beliefs about parent participation in occupational therapy are shifting toward family-centered practice worldwide. However, adopting a family-centered approach in a society such as Korea, where a Confucian culture of hierarchical roles is reflected in a strong medical model, can prove to be very difficult. A parent training program was developed at the HOPE Center, a pediatric occ...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the relationship of executive functioning and self-awareness to participation in daily life of people after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) referred to occupational therapy in the postacute phase. METHOD Thirteen participants who sustained mTBI (average time since injury = 4.7 months, mean age = 43.4 years) were evaluated with the Behavioral Assessment of the Dyse...

This historical review traces the con­ cept of work throughout the develop­ ment of occupational therapy. Para­ digm shifting is used as a framework for describing the conceptual defini­ tions and therapeutic uses of work in four developmental stages. T he concept of work is funda­ mental to our profession; the terms occupation and therapy con­ note the strong relationship be­ tween healing and...

While vocational education is meant to provide occupational-specific skills that are directly employable, their returns may be limited in fast-changing economies. Conversely, general should learning skills, but these have little value at low levels of education. This paper contributes this debate by exploiting a reform introduced Spain 1990 postponed students’ choice between two educational pat...

The Hong’s modified histogram shifting method is best method of reversible watermarking. But Hong’s modified histogram method is not suitable for cartoon images. Our improved backward histogram shifting method overcome drawback of Hong’s method. Generally PSNR decreases when embedding capacity increases. But our improved backward histogram shifting method gives more embedding capacity and high ...
