Abstract:
The industrial concrete floor is a very important part of an industrial building, distribution center, storage or shopping mall, and it must have high quality surfaces for operation. To achieve the high quality we must know the problems and how to treat them. The most important problems on the concrete floors are: (i) cracks which are caused by shrinkage and creep, (ii) curling resulting in a loss of contact between concrete slab and sub-base, and (iii) unevenness In this thesis, it is aimed to investigate the effect of optimizing the concrete mix with and without additional shrinkage reducing agents (SRA) to reduce the crack risk in industrial concrete floors. Four types of concrete recipes are used (A-D) which include a recipe with optimized mix design for minimum shrinkage, a reference recipe (standard mix), an optimized mix with SRA and a fourth recipe with the reference plus SRA. The testing program extended to 224 days of age and comprised e.g. free-shrinkage, restrained shrinkage, weight change, modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and creep of concrete. At early ages, a 28 days, there are large differences in shrinkage-time relations for different mixes. Later than 28 days, the relations are closer. A comparison among shrinkage and creep test results of four recipes shows that recipes A and C have greater crack risk than recipes B and D. The recipe D has also the best result in restrained shrinkage test. These results are because of the aggrega-te graduation, type of cement and shrinkage reducing agents which all have a direct influence on the concrete properties. These tests were done by CBI (The Swedish Cement and Concrete Research Institute) during 2009.

Abstract:
Les pesticides ont pour rôle de protéger les cultures des espèces nuisibles permettant ainsi d’intensifier le rendement agricole pour nourrir une population toujours en augmentation. Néanmoins, les pesticides se retrouvent souvent dans le réseau aquatique, par exemple via le ruissellement, où ils peuvent nuire aux organismes non-cibles. Les concentrations environnementales des pesticides sont souvent considérées sans risque pour les écosystèmes aquatiques, mais elles peuvent cependant induire des effets sublétaux dans les organismes exposés. De plus, les organismes ne font généralement pas face à un seul pesticide provenant d’un champ voisin, mais à un mélange complexe de différents composés chimiques qui interagissent entre eux pour former un cocktail potentiellement toxique avec des impacts inconnus et difficilement prévisibles. Ces composés, peuvent se dégrader au fil du temps et forment des métabolites plus au moins toxiques et persistants qui aggravent encore la complexité des mélanges.Cette thèse s’intéresse à la toxicité de pesticides seuls, en mélange ou en nanoformulation sur des organismes aquatiques non-cibles. Les stades de vie précoces vulnérables de deux organismes modèles : le poisson zèbre (Danio rerio) d’eau douce et un bivalve euryhalin l’huître creuse (Magallana gigas) ont été utilisés afin d’évaluer les effets sublétauxe de concentrations environnementales (détectées dans les cours d’eau européens) de différents pesticides couramment utilisés dont l’herbicide S-métolachlore avec ses deux métabolites acides oxanilique et sulfonique du métolachlore, l’insecticide imidaclopride et le fongicide propiconazole. En complément, une approche in situ a été développée pour évaluer les effets toxiques sur les stades embryo-larvaires de l’huître creuse associés à la qualité de l’eau du Bassin d’Arcachon, réceptacle final de différentes substances provenant des bassins versants.Les résultats indiquent une grande sensibilité des embryons et larves de poisson zèbre aux concentrations environnementales de propiconazole et à un degré moindre de l’imidaclopride. Au contraire, le S-métolachlore et ses métabolites ne présentent que peu d’effet sur le développement, les fonctions neurocomportementales et l’expression des gènes à l’exception des gènes impliqués dans le système thyroïdien. Ces pesticides en mélange semblent se comporter selon un modèle d’addition des concentrations si l’on considère le développement du poisson zèbre. Ces observations sont en lien avec un risque des pratiques agricoles actuelles.Les résultats obtenus lors de ce travail montrent une faible toxicité du propiconazole et de l’imidaclopride sur le développement et le comportement des embryons et larves de l’huître creuse. Quelques effets causés par ces composés seuls ou en mélange sont observés au niveau moléculaire. La concentration environnementale du mélange a induit les malformations larvaires, néanmoins, les embryons d’huître encagés dans le Bassin d’Arcachon ne présentent pas de malformations quel que soit le site d’exposition, ce qui suggère une qualité suffisante de l’eau du Bassin pour le développement de l’huître creuse. Cependant, des différences au niveau de l’expression des gènes sont observées pour les embryons exposés dans la partie interne du bassin d’Arcachon suggérant des conséquences potentielles sur le long terme.Ces résultats indiquent que les stades embryo-larvaires du poisson zèbre et de l’huître creuse sont des outils pertinents pour l’évaluation des faibles concentrations de pesticides seuls ou en mélange. De plus, la mise en œuvre d’expérimentations in situ en complément des approches de laboratoire s’avère utile dans une démarche d’évaluation des risques environnementaux
Pesticides have enabled humankind to protect its crops from pests, intensifying thus the crop yields to sustain the growing population. However, pesticides often end up in aquatic water bodies, e.g. via field runoff, where they may harm non-target organisms. The environmental concentrations of pesticides are often considered safe for aquatic ecosystems although they might induce sublethal changes in exposed organisms. Moreover, the organisms are generally not dealing with only one pesticide issued from a nearby field but with a complex mixture of various chemical compounds, interacting amongst themselves, and creating a toxic cocktail with unknown and hardly predictable impacts. These compounds, each with different environmental fate, eventually degrade and form more or less toxic and persistent metabolites aggravating the complexity of the mixtures.This dissertation thesis summarizes the state-of-the-art in pesticide mixture toxicity research and is composed of five research articles dealing with sublethal effects of selected pesticides on non-target aquatic species. Vulnerable embryo-larval stages of two model organisms: freshwater zebrafish (Danio rerio) and euryhaline bivalve Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) were used to assess the sublethal toxicity of especially environmental concentrations (detected in selected European water bodies) of commonly used herbicide S metolachlor with its two metabolites metolachlor oxanilic acid and metolachlor ethanesulfonic acid, insecticide imidacloprid, and fungicide propiconazole, alone and in a mixture. A complementary in situ approach was carried out to evaluate a real impact on early-life stages of the Pacific oyster in Arcachon Bay in France, a final recipient of various substances including pesticides from respective watersheds.First, zebrafish embryo-larval stages were observed to be highly sensitive to environmentally relevant concentrations of propiconazole and to a lesser extent also to imidacloprid. In contrast, S-metolachlor and its metabolites had almost no effect on their development, neurobehavioral functions, or gene expression except for altered genes implicated in the thyroid system. A mixture of these compounds exhibited a concentration addition effect on zebrafish development. These observations imply that the development of freshwater fish may be at risk with current agricultural practice.Second, a study with Pacific oyster embryos and larvae revealed very low toxicity of propiconazole and imidacloprid on their development and locomotion patterns. Few effects caused by these compounds were observed at the molecular level, as well as the effects caused by the mixture. The environmental concentration of the mixture induced developmental malformations in oyster larvae, however, those exposed in situ in Arcachon Bay did not show higher proportions of abnormal larvae suggesting that the water quality of Arcachon Bay is sufficient for oyster development. Nevertheless, oyster larvae exposed in the inner part of Arcachon Bay showed different gene expression levels than larvae from the reference site located near the ocean entrance, which may indicate consequences of a potential long term impact.These results documented that embryo-larval stages of zebrafish and Pacific oysters are relevant tools for the assessment of low concentrations of pesticides and pesticides in a mixture, and that laboratory studies complemented with field research are useful for (eco)toxicity assessment and of high ecological relevance

Abstract:
As condições de trabalho em laboratórios de ensaios de materiais e equipamentos, utilizados em redes de energia elétrica, expõem os operadores a importantes riscos de acidente. No entanto, existem poucos estudos com abordagem ergonômica para analisar as condições de trabalho e os riscos em laboratórios deste tipo. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi elaborar uma sistemática para avaliar estas condições, visando reduzir os riscos de acidentes e doenças ocupacionais nestes laboratórios. A abordagem elaborada foi aplicada em quatro etapas: a primeira correspondeu à análise da demanda, com o levantamento de indicadores de segurança e saúde; a segunda etapa compreendeu a construção e aplicação de uma ferramenta de análise das condições gerais de segurança com base nas normas brasileiras existentes; na terceira etapa deu-se a construção e aplicação de uma ferramenta de identificação de riscos inerentes às atividades; a quarta e última etapa contemplou a aplicação do método Deparis para diagnosticar riscos nas atividades, a partir da percepção do trabalhador. Como resultado, a sistemática mostrou-se eficaz, evidenciando situações passíveis de causar danos à saúde e à integridade física dos trabalhadores do laboratório analisado. A abordagem se mostrou de entendimento e aplicação simples e permitiu a confrontação de visões distintas (analista e operadores), evidenciando com maior precisão os riscos analisados.
The conditions of work in laboratories of test of materials and equipment, used in nets of electric energy, expose the workers to serious risks of accident. However, there are few studies about this matter with ergonomic approach. Thus, the purpose of this study was to elaborate a systematics to evaluate these conditions, being aimed to reduce the risks of occupational accidents and illnesses in these laboratories. The approach of this work was applied in four stages: the first one corresponded to the analysis of the demand, with the survey of security and health indexes; the second stage was based on the construction and application of a tool of analysis of the general conditions of security the existing Brazilian norms; the third stage was given by the construction and application of a tool to identificate the risks of the activities; the fourth and last stage used the application of the Deparis Method to diagnosis risks in the activities, from the perception of the worker. As result, the systematics revealed efficient, evidencing situations that must cause damages to the health and the physical integrity of the workers of the analyzed laboratory. The approach seemed to be simple to understand and to be applied and allowed the confrontation of distinct sides (analyst and operators), evidencing with most precision the analyzed risks.

Abstract:
Risk is endogenous when an individual is able to undertake mitigation or self protection actions that reduce the risk that he faces. Most risky environments studied in economics involve endogenous risk. This dissertation studies the conceptual and behavioral implications of introducing endogeneity in the controlled environment of the laboratory. The dissertation consists of three different experiments designed to examine how endogeneity affects risk attitudes and risk perceptions in simple experimental set ups. All three experiments employ a virtual reality scenario where the subject is able to form his own beliefs, based on naturalistic cues provided by the virtual reality experience. In the first experiment, a  short run individual experiment, subjects experience several forest fires that allow them to form beliefs about the probability of a house in the simulated forest being destroyed by fire. The evidence suggests that endogenous risk settings do cause subjects to employ different subjective beliefs than they use in an exogenous risk setting, although risk attitudes appear stable across these settings. Typically, the risk of natural disaster in any area is very small, and an adverse event like a forest fire occurs only once in a couple of decades. This has implications for self-protection expenditure where risk is endogenous. A  long run individual experiment with several rounds of decision making allows the estimation of subjective beliefs about the risk of the property burning when a fire may occur. This design allows for the study of the effect of an actual experience of forest fire on a subject s beliefs. Several mitigation options are collective in nature and require group contributions for the self-protection action to be provided. In an extension of the long run design, we study the effect of an actual experience of fire on beliefs when the risk is faced by a group rather than an individual. This framework also allows us to compare behavior in a public goods game involving risk, with the standard public goods game.

Abstract:
This study investigated whether risk compensation behavior would occur during a chemistry experiment due to the presence of protective equipment. This study also examined whether a homeostatic regulating mechanism exists for risk-taking behavior. Risk compensation and a homeostatic regulating mechanism for risk-taking behavior are both encompassed within the Risk Homeostasis Theory, which states that people accurately perceive and fully compensate for changes in risk. Thirty-six subjects performed three trials of a short chemistry experiment either with protective equipment or without protective equipment during the first of two sessions. After the first session, half the subjects were required to switch from wearing protective equipment to not wearing protective equipment, or from not wearing protective equipment to wearing protective equipment. The time required to complete the task, the number of errors committed, and subtask measurement accuracy were tabulated. Between-subject analyses did not reveal risk compensation behavior. Moreover, within-subject comparisons failed to show a significant risk compensation effect or the presence of a homeostatic regulating mechanism for risk-taking behavior. The results suggested that the Risk Homeostasis Theory may not explain sufficiently changes in behavior due to increases (or decreases) in perceived risk. The limitations of the present study were discussed. Suggestions and examples for research on different aspects of the Risk Homeostasis Theory were also provided.

The diploma thesis deals with analysis and assessment of risks in testing laboratories, where the work with risks is an unrecognized area. A part of the thesis defines risks according to standard revision 17025:2017. Subsequently, these risks are processed by selected methods, which are used for qualitative and quantitative evaluation. Risks determination in the thesis is based on methods Risk Matrix, Failure Modes & Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Bow Tie Analysis. Introducing possibilities and patterns of described methods to testing laboratories is the main aim of the thesis, this could be a way to increase their chance to get a new accreditation.

Abstract:
Abstract The provision of effective antiretroviral therapy is an ethical imperative, and global access to antiretroviral drugs is an important aspect of this. The other less recognised aspect of effective HIV management is in ensuring that HIV does not become resistant to the drugs used in treatment (and increasingly also in prevention), as multi-drug resistant HIV poses a major threat to the sustainability of current responses to HIV control. In resource-constrained environments, the rapid scale up of access to life-saving anti-HIV treatment was achieved using a public health approach that standardised antiretroviral regimens, minimised laboratory monitoring, and devolved responsibilities from clinicians where necessary. In recent years demand for antiretroviral treatment has increased due to new understandings of the clinical importance of early treatment, but global investment has declined. Exponential growth of the population using antiretrovirals without careful monitoring increases the risk of significant antiretroviral drug resistance. In this chapter, I consider the example of single-drug interventions to prevent parent-to-child HIV transmission, and how the implementation of that strategy increased health risks for mothers. I argue that while global antiretroviral scale up must continue, laboratory monitoring at individual and national levels needs to improve to maintain treatment effectiveness, and protocols for moving people from failing regimens need to be strengthened.

Abstract:
AbstractPatients undergoing oral and maxillofacial surgeries have unique perioperative considerations as the surgical field is in proximity to the airway and poses a challenge to the anesthesiologist in the matter of airway management. A well-structured preoperative evaluation plays a decisive role for the successful performance of the planned surgical intervention, as well as to overcome any challenges posed due to the pre-existing health condition of the patient. Each physiologic system can be adversely affected by associated comorbidities that may or may not have clinical importance for the surgeons. Thus, the effects of coexisting diseases on the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, renal, and endocrine systems may be significant. Moreover, to mitigate risks related to these associated comorbidities, as well as to the impact of surgery/anesthesia on the patient, specific risk reduction strategies for the entire perioperative period need to be implemented. Risk management and optimization strategies involve the rational use of adjunctive laboratory and imaging studies and professional opinions of consultants of other specialties. A team approach is critical in establishing a working framework of perioperative management that would be able to keep morbidity and mortality related to the maxillofacial surgery, to an absolute minimum.

Abstract:
Abstract RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE PROGRAM/PROJECT ENVIRONMENT: The Risk Management process is assuming greater influence in the process of Project and Program Management. The requirements of NPG 7120.5A [NPG, 1998] have created inroads for the results of identifying risk to influence project decisions. Program needs and the interdependencies of risks among projects are receiving increasing attention on major JPL projects. Creating Risk Management plans and requiring risk reporting are beginning to make project personnel aware of the benefit of identifying and mitigating potential future adverse consequences and understanding the trade-offs involved in spending reserves for prevention as opposed to recovery from problems. Risk-based decision-making in the planning phase is allowing risks balancing to be considered, and hard decisions in the cost-capped environment require even reduction in expected mission return in order to provide adequate performance assurance. RISK ASSESSMENT TOOLS USED IN DESIGN AND ASSURANCE: The paper will describe the use of Risk-revealing checklists and compilations of engineering guidance principles as enabling tools for comprehensive risk identification. Also, effective risk assessment methods (such as Failure Modes Effects Analyses (FMEAs), and Probabilistic Risk Analyses (PRAs) will be discussed. Tracking tools appropriate to maintaining cognizance of risk will be covered. INTEGRATING RISK AND MANAGING PROJECT RESOURCES: JPL is in the process of identifying a standardized Risk Management methodology, which is based on the two pioneering methodologies developed on the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) and Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) projects. Criteria for assessing risk will be “normalized” with tailoring allowed. Database tools are available now to support this approach for flight projects. The Risk Management team at JPL has developed such a tool, which is in use on many of our projects. An advanced version of the JPL tool has been demonstrated which will provide options for quantitative analysis and resource management trade-offs. Implementation of risk tracking metrics in cost and schedule management systems, and design tools, will allow change to be quickly detected. Also, experience on the MGS project suggests that project management can make effective use of risk impact assessments based on cost, and can therefore gain insight into the effective use of project reserves. Utilizing common risk metrics between the risk management process and design metrics, Problem/ Failure Reports (PFRs), earned value reporting, and other management areas will provide more confidence in the impact of project decisions. INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS AND THE SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT OFFICE (SMO): The requirement to balance faithful service to the project customer while at the same time provide an objective assessment of the health of the project to the JPL administration and to the agency will be facilitated through the SMO function. Risk Assessments using criteria common to those that the project uses but identification and assessment by independent “eyes” will allow added possibility for early detection and correction of problems. This will enhance the Risk Management effectiveness on the project, and undoubtedly increase the likelihood of mission success.

Abstract:
Many calibration laboratory managers, who plan to become accredited or re-accredited to the new ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, worry about how to address a new requirement of the standard: considering the risks and opportunities associated with laboratory activities. They may not realize that a well-run calibration tivities. Practical examples of consideration of risks and opportunities in routine laboratory activities such as calibration interval determination, out-of-tolerance investigations, root cause analysis of nonconformity incidences, etc., will be addressed, and suggestions on how to enhance, monitor and document such activities will be provided. Laboratory personnel will find that they do not have to start from scratch in order to comply with this new aspect of ISO/IEC 17025, but they can leverage and improve upon existing best practices.

Abstract:
This article presents a new method of laboratory density determination and construction equations of state for marine waters with various ionic compositions and salinities was developed. The validation of the method was performed using the Ocean Standard Seawater and the UNESCO thermodynamic equation of state (EOS-80). Density measurements of water samples from the Aral Sea, the Black Sea and the Issyk-Kul Lake were performed using a high-precision laboratory density meter. The obtained results were compared with the density values calculated for the considered water samples by the EOS-80 equation. It was shown that difference in ionic composition between Standard Seawater and the considered water bodies results in significant inaccuracies in determination of water density using the EOS-80 equation. Basing on the laboratory measurements of density under various salinity and temperature values we constructed a new equation of state for the Aral Sea and the Black Sea water samples and estimated errors for their coefficients.

Abstract:
Laboratory investigation of eddy formation mechanism due to spatially non-uniform wind impact was fulfilled. Experiment was provided in a cylindrical and a square form tank filled with homogeneous or stratified fluid and displaced on a rotating platform. In the absence of the platform rotation, an impact of the single air jet lead to the formation of a symmetric vortex dipole structure that occupied the whole water area in the tank. In the presence of the platform rotation, a compact anticyclonic eddy was formed in a part of the dipole with anticyclonic vorticity, while in a part with cyclonic vorticity no any compact eddy was observed. The laboratory results were successfully compared with the field observation results fulfilled in the at the Black Sea coastal zone near Gelendzhik.

Abstract:
This study aims to assess the cumulative risks and impacts of all REDD+ initiatives in Mai-Ndombe on the rights and subsistence of local communities and Indigenous Peoples, using existing tools while taking into account gray areas of the REDD+ process. Findings come from existing project documentation, field studies conducted in recent years, and a series of interviews with REDD+ stakeholders in Mai-Ndombe. The study provides a mapping of all existing and planned REDD+ initiatives in the province, as well as a cross-cutting contextual analysis of risks which connects REDD+ to human rights. This is followed by an assessment of these initiatives’ cumulative impacts as well as of national and project strategies to address and reduce risks. It thus offers a perspective on the link between the accumulation of REDD+ initiatives and conflicts at different scales.

Abstract:
Microbiology, tissue culture, medical, equipment manufacturing labs, and many research labs and industries need strict sterile environments for their diverse operations. Experiments, specifically those involving cell lines or microorganisms need to be conducted in a controlled environment. Contamination not only voids experiments, but also wastes effort, time, and money and when involving patients, it poses serious health risks. It is essential to be well-versed in laboratory sterilization techniques.

Full text
Abstract:
Although engineered nanomaterials are active components in a wide variety of commercial products, there is still limited information related to the effects of these nanomaterials once released into the terrestrial environment. A high number of commercial applications use silver nanoparticles (nAg) due to its anti-microbial activity. This may be of concern for waste management since nAg could be applied to soil (e.g., biosolids) or disposed of in traditional landfills, which could lead to possible leaching into surrounding soil. This report aims to provide additional insight into the fate and effects of nAg in terrestrial systems. The studies in this report examine the leachability of nAg in field soil and compares the soil migration to bulk (i.e., micron-sized) silver; examine the ecotoxicity of nAg to earthworms in four field soils spanning several different soil orders; and examine the behavioral effects of earthworms when exposed to engineered nanoparticles in field soil. These data provide additional insight into engineered nanoparticle fate and effects to terrestrial receptors in field soils, an important distinction from laboratory-generated soils. These data will also assist ecological risk assessors to better determine the acute environmental risks of nAg in terrestrial ecosystems with different soil compositions.
