Abstract:

Occupational health surveillance programs are designed to evaluate and reduce injury, illness, and deaths related to workplace hazards. In the state of Florida, there are numerous industries where workers are potentially exposed to airborne hazards from gases, vapors and dusts. Airborne occupational exposures to irritants, vesicants, and fibrogens have the potential to cause pulmonary function impairment if exposures are not properly controlled for high-level acute exposure as well as chronic exposure. For occupations that demand workers be exposed to substances known to be associated with pul

Abstract:

Despite high prevalence rates of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), the causes and pathways of WMSD development are not fully understood. Multiple factors (physical, psychosocial, and individual) have been associated with WMSD development, but causal inferences are not available due to lack of experimental designs. Because the responses, validity, and reliability of measured outcomes under multiple-exposure environments are not known, the current work analyzed the effects of multiple WMSD risk factors on several measurement methods. Forty-eight participants completed four trials

Thesis (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As the title suggests, the major challenge that this study faces is to set out and design a model for analysing and enabling the management of political risk as investment risk - a model that is both sensitive to and reflective of the comprehensive business and investment climate in a country, not only credit or country risk, or only pure political risk in its narrowest definition. In reading about past and more recent research in the field of political risk analysis, it becomes clear that many authors begin by noting t

Master of Science<br>Department of Agricultural Economics<br>Ted C. Schroeder<br>Glynn T. Tonsor<br>Cattle feeders face significant profit risk when placing cattle on feed. Risks arise from both financial and biological sources. To date, few standardized measures exist to measure current risks against historic levels, or to obtain forward looking risk estimates. Those that do exist could benefit from updates and inclusion of additional risk elements. This study measures the risk of expected profits when cattle are placed on feed.

Abstract:

This thesis considers the subject of crowd safety and investigates how the application of risk assessment can provide support for decision making in crowd safety management and planning. The focus is on major public venues and events where large crowds arc a normal part of the operation. Conventional methods of assessment tend to be ad hoc, reactive and rely on individual experiences. The risk assessment approach, which is comprehensive, systematic and pro-active, can help to overcome these shortfalls. Risk assessments have already been successfully applied in many workplaces, ranging from hig

The first paper examines the value of a statistical life (VSL) for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) victims.

This study has been motivated by the lack of research in the substantial and grow1ng refurbishment sector of the United Kingdom construction industry. The reasons for inexplicably higher variability in tender bids for refurbishment work when compared to new work was investigated. This phenomenon had led to a claim by a large body of contractors that they were exposed to higher risks in such projects. The research involved the joint support of a confederation of contractors and a large number of individual contractors. The methodology adopted consisted of structured interviews with individual c

Several European countries, including the UK, are investing in large-scale telehealthcare pilots, to thoroughly evaluate the benefits of telehealthcare. Due to the high level of risk associated with such projects, it becomes desirable to be able to predict the success of telehealthcare systems in potential deployments, in order to inform investment and help save resources. An important factor for the success of any telehealthcare deployment is usability, as it helps to achieve the benefits of the technology through increased productivity, decreased error rates, and better acceptance.

The research framework combines concepts of security, risk and education within a general constructionist approach.

The results of this research can help managers to more accurately evaluate the risk exposure of their business processes, to more objectively evaluate

Orientador: José Augusto de Lollo<br>Banca: Leandro Eugenio Silva da Cerri<br>Banca: Wilson Manzoli Júnior<br>Resumo: O colapso de solos é um fenômeno típico de solos altamente porosos quando saturados, induzindo recalques significativos em fundações de obras civis, comprometendo total ou parcialmente estas obras. Tal fenômeno é bastante comum nos solos arenosos que ocorrem em boa parcela do Estado de São Paulo e em particular na cidade de Ilha Solteira. A grande disseminação de processos de colapso de solos em todo o Estado faz com que seu estudo seja imprescindível para o entendimento das va

Abstract:

<b>Background:</b> 'Competing risks' are events that either preclude or alter the probability of experiencing the primary study outcome(s). Many standard survival models fail to account for competing risks, introducing an unknown level of bias in their measures of absolute and relative risk. Individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and albuminuria are at increased risk of multiple competing causes of mortality, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), cancer and renal disease, yet studies to date have not implemented competing risks methodology. <b>Aim:</b> Using albuminuria in T2DM as

Abstract:

Urinary incontinence, one of the most prevalent conditions in elderly living in nursing homes (NH) was shown to significantly impact patient's quality of life (QOL) and health outcomes. Bladder antimuscarinics (BAM), the main drug class to treat urinary incontinence, have limited effects in managing the condition; however, given their anticholinergic properties and the characteristics of those living in NH, BAM could potentially lead to serious health consequences in this population. We conducted a retrospective cohort study with a ne

Abstract:

L'analyse quantitative des risques est devenue un outil d’aide à la prise de décisions pour toutes les activités industrielles exposées à des risques d'accidents majeurs. En France, depuis l'accident d'AZF, la réglementation a évolué et exige désormais des études de sécurité quantitatives pour évaluer et réduire les risques technologiques. Cette analyse a encore une forte marge d’amélioration, dont celle d’intégrer les incertitudes inhérentes aux probabilités d’occurrence d’événements et scénarios susceptibles de se produire. L’évaluation des risques industriels par la méthode du nœud papillon
