Abstract:

Fungal contamination of agricultural products can prove to be harmful to humans and domestic animals as these fungi produce a variety of mycotoxins which can eventually occur in food. Acute intoxications with mycotoxins occur regularly in farm animals but, fortunately, are infrequently observed in humans. However, the chronic exposure of humans to mycotoxins occurs regularly. Such exposures are potentially teratogenic and carcmogenic and can suppress the immune system. It is presently impossible to establish safe levels of exposure for most mycotoxins due to scanty epidemiological data and insufficient observations on experimental animals. With respect to aflatoxin all available data point to a real health risk. Risk analysis based on epidemiological observations shows that the liver-cancer risk for individuals in South Africa is potentially increased by continued exposure to the present legally permitted level of aflatoxin in food.

Abstract:

In recent years, the development of new bio-based products for biocontrol has been gaining importance as it contributes to reducing the use of synthetic herbicides in agriculture. Conventional herbicides (i.e., the ones with synthetic molecules) can lead to adverse effects such as human diseases (cancers, neurodegenerative diseases, reproductive perturbations, etc.) but also to disturbing the environment because of their drift in the air, transport throughout aquatic systems and persistence across different environments. The use of natural molecules seems to be a very good alternative for maintaining productive agriculture but without the negative side effects of synthetic herbicides. In this context, essential oils and their components are increasingly studied in order to produce several categories of biopesticides thanks to their well-known biocidal activities. However, these molecules can also be potentially hazardous to humans and the environment. This article reviews the state of the literature and regulations with regard to the potential risks related to the use of essential oils as bioherbicides in agricultural and horticultural applications.

Abstract:

Introduction. Aim. Selection of priority safety indicators and optimal research scope through analysis of potential health risks associated with chemical and microbiological safety of food products (FP). Materials and methods. Retrospectively analyzed data on chemical and microbiological safety of FP addressed on the consumer market of the Republic of Buryatia for 2016-2020. Assessment of the potential risk of harm to human health included prediction performed on linear regression models. Results. The maximum probability of violations of mandatory requirements for chemical and microbiological contamination was noted for dairy products. The minimum probability of violations was identified for the biologically active additives and industrial baby FP. The calculation of potential risks to consumer health based on the results of studies of FP revealed the categories of “high risk” - fish and seafood, “significant risk” - dairy products, confectionery, vegetables, melons, soft drinks. It was found that the supply of fish and seafood, poultry and poultry products had long supply chains, when the risks associated with non-compliance with their transportation and storage conditions were most likely Correlations were revealed between the risk level according to the microbiological criterion associated with the contamination of food, fish, culinary products, poultry meat and the incidence of acute intestinal infections. The indicated factor signs determine from 28.6% to 67.0% of the variance of the incidence. Conclusion. Identification of potential risks of harm to the public health related to FP safety indicates the need for further monitoring of the content of chemical and microbiological contaminants.

Abstract:

In recent years, the occupational health and safety has become one of the important elements of working life. The importance of contributing to the protection of employee health by preventing occupational accidents and occupational diseases is increasing demand nowadays. The rapid growth of the catering sector with increasing employment and competition turn into a growing problem: increase in occupational accidents. In this research carried out with the necessity of taking precautions for the solution of this problem; A risk analysis was conducted in a catering company in Uşak to identify hazards and risks in the company. The hazards and risks are evaluated and precautionary actions were determined according to the current situation. At the same time, it is thought to be beneficial in terms of creating awareness for all companies in the sector by contributing to the protection of employee health by reducing occupational accidents and diseases. Risk analyses were done by L type matrix (5x5 matrix table). In this study, a total of 131 hazards and risks were identified. The identified hazards and risks are grouped according to their risk level (Unacceptable risk: 5; Significant risk:61; Medium risk:59). It is considered that adopting proactive approaches within the scope of occupational safety practices will accelerate the spread of the safety network and occupational safety culture to all employees

Abstract:

Within the framework of this article, the social health of Russian youth, according to the results of the author's research, is considered at the level of macrosociological risk analysis. As the basic theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the social health of young people, sociocentric and riskogenic approaches are used. As a result, the authors comes to the conclusion that the social health of Russian youth (on the example of the South of Russia) is threatened by: institutional risks associated with the institutional transformation of the Russian society; risks associated with global informatization and the destruction of traditional values; as well as the risks associated with the growth of social and interethnic tension.

Abstract:

Many would agree on the need to inform patients about the risks of medical conditions or treatments and to consider those risks in making medical decisions. The question is how to describe the risks and how to balance them with other factors in arriving at a decision. In this article, we present the thesis that part of the answer lies in defining an appropriate scale for risks that are often quite small. We propose that a convenient unit in which to measure most medical risks is the microprobability, a probability of 1 in 1 million. When the risk consequence is death, we can define a micromort as one microprobability of death. Medical risks can be placed in perspective by noting that we live in a society where people face about 270 micromorts per year from interactions with motor vehicles.Continuing risks or hazards, such as are posed by following unhealthful practices or by the side-effects of drugs, can be described in the same micromort framework. If the consequence is not death, but some other serious consequence like blindness or amputation, the microrisk structure can be used to characterize the probability of disability.Once the risks are described in the microrisk form, they can be evaluated in terms of the patient's willingness-to-pay to avoid them. The suggested procedure is illustrated in the case of a woman facing a cranial arteriogram of a suspected arterio-venous malformation. Generic curves allow such analyses to be performed approximately in terms of the patient's sex, age, and economic situation. More detailed analyses can be performed if desired.Microrisk analysis is based on the proposition that precision in language permits the soundness of thought that produces clarity of action and peace of mind.

Abstract:

Research has shown that workplace health promotion (WHP) efforts can positively affect employees’ health risk accumulation. However, earlier literature has provided insights of health risk changes in the short-term. This prospective longitudinal quasi-experimental study investigated trends in health risks of a comprehensive, eight-year WHP program (n = 523–651). Health risk data were collected from health risk assessments in 2010–2011, 2013–2014, and 2016–2017, applying both a questionnaire and biometric screenings. Health risk changes were investigated for three different time-periods, 2010–2013, 2014–2017, and 2010–2017, using descriptive analyses, t-tests, and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank and McNemar’s test, where appropriate. Overall health risk transitions were assessed according to low-, moderate-, and high-risk categories. Trend analyses observed 50–60% prevalence for low-, 30–35% for moderate-, and 9–11% high-risk levels across the eight years. In the overall health risk transitions of the three time-periods, 66–73% of participants stayed at the same risk level, 13–15% of participants improved, and 12–21% had deteriorated risk level across the three intervention periods. Our findings appear to indicate that the multiyear WHP program was effective in maintaining low and moderate risk levels, but fell short of reducing the total number of health risks at the population level.

Abstract:

Introduction and purpose of the study. Analysis of statistical data, dynamics of absolute and integrated indicators of anthropogenic and technogenic loading on the environment indicates that the ecological situation in Ukraine can be characterized as a crisis. In Ukraine, the ecological crisis is unfolding in the context of limiting natural resources, economic instability, exacerbating social and political problems, the lack of moral foundations in many members of society, and the intensive pollution of the human environment by negative factors, including mutagens and teratogens. Taking into account the above, the urgency of the problem of the interconnection of the environmental state of the environment and the state of health of the population is increasing.The hypothesis of scientific research. It is anticipated that the poorly investigated are the social consequences of environmental threats and challenges, and the state of social consciousness in the field of the environmental paradigm of health is not sufficiently taken into account.The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of negative environmental (anthropogenic) factors on the basic indicators of public health and the means of their elimination and minimization through bioprophylaxis and the formation of ecological consciousness. Methods of research: theoretical analysis, synthesis, comparison and comparison in order to determine the state of disclosure of the research problem in the scientific literature, quantitative indicator of the state of health of the population – health index, study of expert surveys.Results: the risks of negative environmental impact on human health are disclosed. The dependence of health and the environment on certain indicators is shown. The relationship between ecological factors and the development of modern diseases is revealed. The group of diseases related to the environmental impact have been analyzed. The leading role in etiology and pathogenesis of diseases of heredity and the state of the environment has been determined.Conclusions: The current ecological crisis in Ukraine is related to the influence of the complex of environmental and professional-production factors in combination with stress, neuro-psychological overloads. Today, there are many environmental challenges and threats that cause deterioration of physical and mental health, threatening the nation's gene pool. The deterioration of the environment leads to an increase in ecologically dependent chemical pathology and the emergence of new ecologically conditioned diseases.

Abstract:

To use home mechanical ventilation, it is necessary to choose the right target group that can benefit from moving to home care. Moving a patient to home care with home mechanical ventilation involves a number of risks. The aim of this study was to use Health Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (HFMEA) to analyse health risks at a time when a patient is just preparing to move to home care, and a nursing plan is being drawn up. HFMEA was used to analyse health risks. The expert team divided the process of nursing care into 7 parts with other own subprocess, which are 18 in total. Altogether, 41 risks were identified, of which 14 failures were analysed after HFMEA application, potential causes were defined, and their follow-up proposed. According to the results of the method used and the analysis of individual risks, it is necessary to focus on detailed setting of the nursing plan with thorough education of informal caregivers who play an important role in it. The education should be regularly repeated and the check of care itself should be supported by created checklists to confirm the individual steps.

Abstract:

Bankruptcy is an important topic in academic research and practice. It is a burning issue worldwide in the current COVID-19 situation. The aim of this study is to examine the financial risks of Czech companies. By employing the stepwise regression technique to estimate the financial risks, the p-values of all selected 15 financial ratios (explanatory variables) were calculated. If the p-value of the variable is more than the level of significance, the particular variable is removed from the model and another regression model is calculated. The findings from the stepwise regression revealed that return on capital, current ratio, net working capital turnover rate, and current assets turnover rate have a positive influence on company’s financial health. On the contrary, return on capital employed, asset turnover rate, inventory turnover rate, fixed assets turnover rate, and debt to equity ratio negatively impact the company’s financial health. The findings of this study will be fruitful for managers, policymakers, and investors of the companies to estimate and assess financial risks. AcknowledgmentsThis study is supported by the Internal Grant Agency (IGA) in Tomas Bata University in Zlin, the Czech Republic, under the projects No IGA/FAME/2021/008 and IGA/FAME/2021/014.

Abstract:

There is strong interest in both developing and developed countries toward expanding health insurance coverage. How should the benefits, and costs, of expanded coverage be measured? While the value of reducing the financial risks that result from insurance coverage have long been recognized, there has been less attention in how best to measure such benefits. In this paper, we first provide a framework for assessing the financial value from health insurance. We focus on three distinct potential benefits: Pooling the risk of unexpected medical expenditures between healthy and sick households, redistributing resources from high- to low-income recipients and smoothing consumption over time. We then use this theoretical framework and an illustrative example to provide practical guidelines for benefit-cost analysis in capturing the full benefits (and costs) of expanding health insurance coverage. We conclude by considering other potential financial effects of broad insurance coverage, such as the ability to consolidate purchases and thus lower input prices.

Abstract:

We attempt to value health risks by combining traditional demand impact analysis with direct elicitation of individuals' risk perceptions of food safety. We examine the impact of multiple risks of related goods on consumption of a risky good. We argue that the consumption of a risky good depends on both its absolute risk level and its relative risks to other risky goods. Seafood consumption in eastern North Carolina was studied. We elicited, in a survey, individual perceived risks as reference points to derive the economic value of reducing health risk in seafood consumption. Revealed and stated data were combined to trace out demand changes in response to absolute and relative risk reductions. Our results show that seafood consumption is affected by the perceived absolute risk and by the relative risk to poultry and that individuals react to the multiple risks in a nonlinear way, as was suggested by our analytical model.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to assess the wellbeing of 248 young Polish adults between 18 and 26 years old (M = 22.35; SD = 2.20) involved in adventure blue space recreational activities. The adventure water recreational activities were measured by using a questionnaire specially designed for the purpose of this study. This questionnaire consisted of two subscales: adventure recreation associated with water risks and adventure recreation associated with weather risks. In turn, wellbeing was measured using six scales loaded in two factors: hedonic wellbeing and eudaimonic wellbeing. The regression analysis indicated that wellbeing (hedonic and eudaimonic) was positively predicted by adventure recreation associated with water risks. In turn, eudaimonic wellbeing was negatively predicted by adventure recreation associated with weather risks. Additionally, the cluster analysis revealed three distinct clusters of recreationists characterized by diverse results on the scales of adventure recreation dealing with water and weather risks: soft adventurers (low water risks/high weather risks), hard adventurers (high water risks/high water risks) and avoiders (low water risks/low weather risks). The hard adventurers had significantly higher means on hedonic wellbeing than that of the soft adventurers and the avoiders. Surprisingly, the soft adventurers had a significantly lower mean on eudaimonic wellbeing than that of the group of hard adventurers and the group avoiding risky activity in an aquatic environment.

Abstract:

Nitrites can be formed from and away by the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. The properties of nitrite oxidation and metHb formation are carefully studied in mechanism, forming either N-binding or O-binding structures. Apart from nitrate and nitric oxide, nitrites can also form carcinogenic nitrosamines in acidic environments. MetHb can cause hypoxia and vasodilation, while symptoms are revealed in different degrees under recalled or present hypoxic conditions. The study thoroughly studied nitrite’s metabolic properties, chemical pathways, and dosage effects on health. The cancer risks of consuming dietary nitrite need more statistical support, while its metabolite N-nitrosodimethylamine and NDMA concentration are well considered with increasing cancer risks. ED50 of human vasodilation is identified, and lethal doses on juvenile pike-perch can be further utilized to predict related doses for humans. More studies should be done to investigate relative nitrite doses to boost utilization and studies about this chemical.

Abstract:

The process of detecting, assessing, and managing hazards is known as risk management. It involves identifying risks, evaluating risks, and implementing controls to limit risks. Risk management is an integral part of the overall management plan of any firm. The objective of risk management is to reduce the negative impact of risks on an organization's capacity to accomplish its goals. Financial risks, operational risks, strategic risks, and reputational risks can all have an impact on a firm. Financial hazards consist of threats to an organization's financial health, such as credit risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk. Operational hazards include supply chain risk, technology risk, and compliance risk, which are all associated with the operations of a business. Risks associated with an organization's strategy, such as market risk, competitive risk, and regulatory risk, are categorized as strategic risks. Reputational risks include fraud risk, data breach risk, and social media risk, which are all associated with the reputation of a firm. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis on risk management approaches at Microsoft.

Abstract:

Casual observation suggests that many households in Moscow boil water, settle water in pans for some periods (e.g., overnight) before consuming, filter water, and buy bottled water. To date, there has been little empirical analysis of such avoidance behavior. Based on a recently completed survey of 615 households in Moscow, this paper investigates the types and amounts of avoidance measures that are used by households in Moscow to adjust drinking water quality. Survey results show that this is clearly the case: over 88 per cent of the sample boil water regularly due to concerns about water quality; 23 per cent filter water regularly; over 30 per cent settle water regularly; and about 13 per cent buy bottled water regularly. On the other hand, residents are generally content with their cold water supply and quality of delivery. Based on a microeconomic model of household avoidance behavior, logit regression results show how avoidance decisions relate to income, opinions of water quality, and location in the city. It is expected that this analysis from Moscow can also be used as a guide for future studies in other cities in Russia to evaluate opinions of quality, avoidance measures, and citizens' willingness to support public infrastructure projects designed to improve water supply.

Abstract:

The paper presents a hygienic quality assessment of water from sources in the Irkutsk Region (Russia) used for public drinking water supply. The aim of the study is to assess health risks to the population of Bratsk and the Bratsk District, which is associated with the exposure to chemicals coming with drinking water from the public water supply system. Risk of occurrence and development of non-carcinogenic effects is assessed for separate age groups using a special method. Based on the risk assessment methodology, non-carcinogenic risks for children and adults are described in quantitative terms. The total health risk of the test groups associated with the oral intake of chemicals with drinking water is estimated as negligible and, therefore, does not need to be reduced through additional measures. Lead and fluoride contents in drinking water are the major contributors to the risk level (59.5–68.4%). There is a risk of developing blood disorders and cardiovascular diseases in children of Bratsk (HI = 1.19), as well as bone tissue and teeth disorders in children of Bikey village, Bratsk District (HI = 1.10).

Abstract:

We modeled early psychosocial risks as a network of interconnected variables to study their associations with later depressive symptoms and cardiometabolic outcomes. The participants were a nationally representative sample of 2580 men and women aged 3–18 years in 1980. Their parents reported the psychosocial risks in 1980, including the following: (1) child-specific life events, (2) parental health behavior, (3) parental socioeconomic status, and (4) parental psychological problems. Adulthood depressive symptoms and cardiometabolic outcomes were measured in 2007–2012. The most central risks (most number of connections to other risks) were socioeconomic risks that also predicted health outcomes more consistently than others.

Abstract:

Aim. To increase the effectiveness of treatment and prevention of periodontal diseases in smoking students. Methods. A comprehensive dental examination and survey was conducted among 380 students 180 of whom were smokers, and the other 200 students were not tobacco smokers. The students were comparable by age (mean age 21.1±0.09 and 21.4±0.10 years, p=0.1009) and the initial state of the oral cavity. To assess the effectiveness of treatment and preventive measures, smoking students with inflammatory changes in periodontium were divided into the groups. The first group (52 subjects) was divided into three subgroups: 1a (n=15) — removal of plaque by the piezoelectric ultrasound apparatus Vector; 2a (n=20) — use of the Air-Flo C2 air-abrasive apparatus; 3a (n=17) — use of Gracey curette. The second group (n=32) was divided into two subgroups: control (n=15) where only conventional therapy was applied, including professional oral hygiene (removal of supra- and subgingival dental deposits) and the main one (n=17), where, unlike the control group, additional supportive therapy was introduced with Antitobacco Chamomile-Sage conditioner. Repeated clinical examinations were carried out 1 and 6 months after the completion of treatment using periodontal and hygienic indices. Results. Students were found to have caries and periodontal inflammation but it was more pronounced in patients with a bad smoking habit in history: 4.37±0.12 and 3.98±0.09 — the intensity of caries in smokers and non-smokers, respectively (p <0.05). Among the smoking students in relatively rare cases a healthy periodontium was detected: 2.78±1.22, versus 9.0±2.02 in the group of non-smoking students (p <0.05). With the inclusion of Antitobacco Chamomile-Sage conditioner in the complex therapy, the values of OHI-S and papillary marginal attachment indices were significantly lower than in the control group 1 and 6 months after treatment. A comparative analysis of the data obtained in another treatment group, divided into three subgroups, revealed that with the use of Gracey curette a more pronounced positive shift in the indices was observed. Conclusion. Favorable dynamics in the reduction of hygienic and periodontal indices at all stages of the research, indicating improvement of oral hygiene and periodontal condition, was recorded when using periodontal Gracey curette and “Antitobacco Chamomile-Sage” herbal conditioner in the complex treatment.

Abstract:

Occupational safety and health in hospitals as health services is an important thing to pay attention to. Nurses as one of the medical personnel in the hospital have risks and hazards that are quite vulnerable in every process of their work. Data found from the PPI (Infection Prevention and Control) committee at DR Tadjuddin Chalid General Hospital Makassar as many as 17 cases of needle stick accidents in the last 5 years, there was 1 case of a slip/fall accident when an inpatient co-worker took the patient to the operating room. The purpose of this study is to describe the level of occupational safety and health risks that can occur in nurses at DR Tadjuddin Chalid General Hospital Makassar. The research design used is qualitative in nature with the approach method, namely risk management with interview guide instruments, observation, cameras for documentation and Job Safety Analysis to identify the risks and hazards of nurses' work. Risk assessment uses a semi-quantitative method. The results of this study indicate that the highest risk in the Emergency Room with a score of 300 (Priority 1) is at the anamnase stage and the patient's vital signs, there is a risk of danger of droplet contact contracting the patient's infectious disease and during infusion there is a risk of needle sticks. The results in the ICU show a risk level with a value of 300 (Priority 1) in the administration of injection drugs, infusion with a risk of needle pricks and in personal hygiene activities with a value of 90, there is a risk of contact with the patient's body fluids, and the results in ordinary hospitalization show a high level of risk with a value of 300 (Priority 1) on the examination of the patient's vital signs with a risk of danger of contact with the patient's body fluids, installation of infusion and administration of injection drugs, risk of needle stick hazard. The conclusion from the research results obtained is that there is a need for technical improvements, it is hoped that better supervision in the implementation of SOPs for nursing actions and the active role of K3 Hospitals in identifying deeper stages of nurse work in hospitals.

Abstract:

The aim of this study was to assess the level of awareness of elderly primary caregivers of being at physical and mental health risk due to their caregiving role, as well as to examine the impact of sociodemographic characteristics, patient care characteristics, and situational variables on caregivers’ awareness. Data were collected by interview of a sample of primary caregivers aged 60+. A total of 202 primary caregivers responded positively, representing a response rate of 65% (202/311). We found a low–moderate level of awareness. The final multivariate regression analysis (F (12, 179) = 21.26, p < 0.000) revealed six variables, out of nearly 30, that are associated with a high percentage (59%) of the variability of caregivers’ awareness, namely caregiving burden, caregivers’ self-rated health, patient’s disease severity, caregiver gender, number of children, and familial relation to the patient. Action may be taken to raise caregivers’ awareness. Such interventions would possibly contribute to the quality of life and health of caregivers, enable the optimal treatment of the patient, and reduce the costs imposed on the health system and society in general.

Abstract:

Introduction: University life represents an important change in students' development; since they enter adulthood, in which they will deal with academic challenges and responsibilities; reducing considerably the time to carry out physical, recreational and/or cultural activities; favoring diseases related to overweight and obesity, because of sedentarism, potentializing the consumption of harmful substances as relaxation or anti-stress mechanisms. Objective: To analyze the variables in the consumption of tobacco, alcohol, physical and cultural activity in new students in the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. Materials and methods: Comparative, observational study with a descriptive scope. It was conducted by non-probabilistic sampling at convenience, in three generations, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The variables, alcohol consumption, tobacco consumption, frequency of physical activity and frequency of cultural activities were evaluated. Results and conclusions: Of the three generations evaluated, the one with the highest average for the four variables to be evaluated was 2017. The practice of cultural activities is the least performed in the three generations. The analysis of alcohol and tobacco consumption, as well as physical activity, is consistent with the data reported in ENSANUT 2016, 2018, and ENCODAT 2017.

Abstract:

Aim: To examine beliefs about health, health risks and health expectations from the perspective of people diagnosed with a psychotic disorder Background: People with psychotic disorders have a threefold higher risk of developing physical health problems than the general population, and prevention of these problems is warranted. Examining patients´ health beliefs could help deepen our understanding of how to plan successful health interventions with this group. Methods: Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted from November 2010 to October 2011 with 17 people with psychotic disorders. Data were analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: An overall positive picture of health was found despite the fact that physical health was found to be hard to verbalize and understand. Health was mainly associated with psychological wellbeing, while health risks were found to be related to uncertain bodily identity, troublesome thoughts and inner voices, and exclusion from society. Interest in learning, and visions and goals of health seemed to increase awareness of health risks and health expectations, while not worrying could be viewed as a hindrance for health expectations. Conclusion: There is a lack of expressed awareness of physical health risks, but such awareness is fundamental to performing life-style changes [14]. Nurses thus have an important task to help patients understand and verbalize potential physical health risks, and to find out what motivates them to adopt health behaviors.

Abstract:

We compared socioeconomic life course models to decompose the direct and mediated effects of socioeconomic status (SES) in different periods of life on late-life oral health. We used data from 2 longitudinal Swedish studies: the Level of Living Survey and the Swedish Panel Study of Living Conditions of the Oldest Old. Two birth cohorts (older, 1925 to 1934; younger, 1944 to 1953) were followed between 1968 and 2011 with 6 waves. SES was measured with 4 indicators of SES and modeled as a latent variable. Self-reported oral health was based on a tooth conditions question. Variables in the younger and older cohorts were grouped into 4 periods: childhood, young/mid-adulthood, mid /late adulthood, late adulthood/life. We used structural equation modeling to fit the following into lagged-effects life course models: 1) chain of risk, 2) sensitive period with late-life effect, 3) sensitive period with early- and late-life effects, 4) accumulation of risks with cross-sectional effects, and 5) accumulation of risks. Chain of risk was incorporated into all models and combined with accumulation, with cross-sectional effects yielding the best fit (older cohort: comparative fit index = 0.98, Tucker-Lewis index = 0.98, root mean square error of approximation = 0.04, weighted root mean square residual = 1.51). For the older cohort, the chain of SES from childhood → mid-adulthood → late adulthood → late life showed the following respective standardized coefficients: 053, 0.92, and 0.97. The total effect of childhood SES on late-life tooth loss (standardized coefficient: –0.23 for older cohort, –0.17 for younger cohort) was mediated by previous tooth loss and SES. Cross-sectional effects of SES on tooth loss were observed throughout the life course, but the strongest coefficients were at young/mid-adulthood (standardized coefficient: –0.41 for older cohort, –0.45 for younger cohort). SES affects oral health cumulatively over the life course and through a chain of risks. Actions to improve socioeconomic conditions in early life might have long-lasting effects on health if they help prevent people from becoming trapped in a chain of risks.

Abstract:

Mental illness affects 1 in 5 women during pregnancy and the first year postnatal and in about 1 in 20 women the condition is serious. When a woman with major mental illness becomes pregnant she and her child face a number of risks. These include poor pregnancy and neonatal outcomes and a sharp rise of psychiatric admissions after childbirth. Mental illness is also one of the leading causes of maternal death. Risks to children are impaired parenting and developmental disadvantage in emotional, behavioral and cognitive domains. Parental mental illness also has a significant role in infanticide and abuse-related serious harm to children, with infants <1 year old being most at risk.A recent analysis has shown that the resulting economic costs to public services and the wider society are extremely high. In view of the wide-ranging consequences, a number of European countries have set up specialized perinatal mental health services. These consist of specialized inpatient units and community teams. The essential components of their service are preconception counselling, expert advice on the use of medication during pregnancy and breastfeeding, joint inpatient admissions of mothers and babies, interventions to improve parenting, and advice to children's social services. None of these countries, however, are yet offering universal access.In order to improve service provision and outcomes it is important that perinatal mental health is acknowledged more widely as a public health priority. The workshop will provide an opportunity for participants to discuss approaches to raise awareness and promote perinatal service developments.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTBackground:An increasing body of evidence suggests that health behaviors may protect against cognitive impairment and dementia. The purpose of this study was to summarize the current evidence on health behavioral factors predicting cognitive health through a systematic review of the published literature.Methods:PubMed, Embase, and PsycINFO databases were searched for studies on community representative samples aged 65 and older, with prospective cohort design and multivariate analysis. The outcome – cognitive health – was defined as a continuum of cognitive function ranging from cognitive decline to impairment and dementia, and health behaviors included physical activity, smoking, alcohol drinking, body mass index, and diet and nutrition.Results:Of 12,105 abstracts identified, 690 relevant full-texts were reviewed. The final yield amounted to 115 articles of which 37 studies were chosen that met the highest standards of quality. Leisure time physical activity, even of moderate level, showed protective effects against dementia, whereas smoking elevated the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Moderate alcohol consumption tended to be protective against cognitive decline and dementia, but nondrinkers and frequent drinkers exhibited a higher risk for dementia and cognitive impairment. Midlife obesity had an adverse effect on cognitive function in later life. Analysis showed vegetable and fish consumption to be of benefit, whereas, persons consuming a diet high in saturated fat had an increased dementia risk.Conclusion:The review demonstrates accumulating evidence supporting health behavioral effects in reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia. Results indicate potential benefits of healthy lifestyles in protecting cognitive health in later life.

Abstract:

In the process of working on a construction project, there is no such thing as a work accident, therefore it is necessary to take preventive measures. One of its efforts to prevent workplace accidents is the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety (K3). K3 is a form of effort to ensure the integrity and perfection of the workforce, both physically and spiritually, to create protection and security from the risk of accidents and hazards both physically and mentally. The method used in this research is Hazzard Identification, Risk Assessment and Determining Control. The construction project of Vila House identified 82 occupational risks, therefore 42 risks are classified as low risk and 40 risks are classified as medium risk. The preventive measures that can be taken to minimize the risk of Occupational Health and Safety (K3) are Eliminate Unsafe Conditions and Unsafe action socialization/ Occupational Health and Safety (K3) training, as well as Use of proper and correct (Personal Protective Equipment) and (Work Protective Equipment).

Abstract:

Organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) including Hexachlorocyclohexanes (HCHs) and dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethanes (DDTs) in surface water of Lake Baiyangdian were determined to assess the potential health risk when using as drinking water for children and adults. The concentration of HCHs and DDTs in surface water were in the range of 2.74-11.50 ng L-1 and 3.48-16.88 ng L-1, respectively. Compared with similar results reported around the world, the level of OCPs in this study was in the mid-range. The analysis of health risk indicated that risks from OCPs in most part of the lake would not be risky to human health according to the acceptable risk level, while carcinogenic effects caused by α-HCH might occur if drinking water from Nanliuzhuang (NLZ) and Laowangdian (SCD). α-HCH and β-HCH were the dominating factors for carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic risks, respectively. Risks of OCPs for children were much higher than those caused by OCPs for adults.

Having as starting point the fundamental requirements outlined in Directive 2002/44/CE in which the minimum health and safety requirements for the workers’ exposure to the risks generated by physical agents (vibrations) are established, the paper presents a concrete evaluation, based on experimental determinations, of the vibrations transmitted to the entire body of a human operator. The evaluation of the level of exposure to vibrations is based on the computation of the daily exposure, expressed over a period of eight hours. The weighted mean square acceleration will be determined function of the frequency weighting curves Wc, Wd and Wk , using a MATLAB program developed by the author. Based on the indications from SR ISO 2361-1 the evaluation of the vibrations for health, comfort, and perception are presented as experimental results. In this context, the necessity of compliance with the minimum health and safety requirements imposed by the current legislation are highlighted.
