Abstract:
This study aimed to analyze how perceptions of eco-friendly agricultural products affect food choice criteria, based on a sample of 225 study participants (consumers) in Sejong City, South Korea. We focused on the following criteria: Health, food safety, environmental protection, trust, reputation, nutrition, and taste. We used factor analysis to classify responses into three types of consumer attitude: Organic-minded, pesticide-free focused, and local food-minded. Then, we applied a logit analysis to determine values of agricultural products (dependent variables) and consumer attitudes toward eco-friendly agricultural products (independent variables). We found that South Korean consumers were not motivated by health or environmental protection, nor were they substantially concerned about food safety; their utmost concern was the reputation of organic products. Pesticide-free focused and local food-minded consumers placed a higher value on nutrition and taste, respectively, likely because, in South Korea, organic agriculture is a component of eco-friendly agriculture, leading to the entanglement in consumer perceptions of organic and pesticide-free products. This paper discusses how phased development strategies of organic agriculture, including the eco-friendly agricultural policy, have failed. It is therefore needed to develop and implement new policies for South Korean eco-friendly agriculture.

Abstract:
A successful Safety Management System is more that just words and numbers on pages. It is the way that human beings cooperate with each other for surviving the hazards around them. The Safety Case concept which arose from the inquiry into Piper Alpha is one of the best attempts made thus far at systematising safety using risk management techniques. Unfortunately the Safety Case and its embedded Safety Management System do not address the basic problem that people are imperfect machines and are wholly unpredictable at a detail level. To counter this, it is essential that managers keep people risk-aware, safety-motivated and improvement-minded. This requires humility, sincerity, good system content, clarity of responsibility, a disinterest in blame, an easy- to-use written reporting system, respect for life and unambiguous priorities of safety, quality and money.

Abstract:
The adoption of organic production and usage is highly strong-minded by market demand. Therefore, this is reflected in consumers’ awareness towards organic food products. There is a society hope in every country that food must be safe, in general for most of the people and most of the time, this expectancy is not met. The safety of food at all times cannot be controlled through strict legislation and systems. Much of the accountability for food safety lies with the agricultural sector and the processed food industry to ensure that reliable procedures are being practiced to produce over and over again safe primary produce and processed foods. Against this backdrop, an attempt has been made in this paper to study the consumer awareness with regard to consumption of organic food and also the sources of awareness about organic food product.

Abstract:
Overexertion injuries related to lifting, pushing, pulling, holding, or carrying objects are a leading cause of occupational injury in the construction industry. Although significant research exists on interventions and practices that could reduce the risk for these injuries, adoption by construction employers has been slow. Ergonomics researchers and safety advocates have struggled to effectively promote safer manual materials handling (MMH) in the complex and dynamic environment of construction sites. Our Ergonomics Community of Practice conducted formative research on the extent to which construction contractors are taking action to reduce MMH injuries, the barriers to engaging in safer practices, and how safety-minded contractors successfully overcame common barriers and associated risks on their job sites. These “positive deviants” used similar strategies regardless of their size or trade. Their strategies suggest fresh opportunities for repositioning and promoting safer MMH practices and increasing their use in the construction industry.

Full text
Abstract:
The Lac-Mégantic oil train disaster, July 6, 2013, was not a highly improbable, impossible-to-anticipate event. A number of prior conditions, the product of deliberate regulatory and corporate actions and inactions, contributed to the risk of a major accident. These preconditions include: three decades of railway deregulation under Conservative and Liberal governments under which railways gained increasing freedom to regulate themselves; a weakened, dysfunctional regulator and a flawed safety regime; a negligent company with repeated safety violations and penchant for cutting corners; a regulation-adverse , austerity-minded government indifferent to the growing dangers posed by the increase in the transportation of oil-by-rail; and an industry bent on blocking or weakening potential protective regulations affecting its costs. These preconditions provided the context for a series of mutually reinforcing regulatory failures, which accumulated, and as oil-by-rail grew, so too did the prospects of avoiding an accident diminish, to the point where the question became: when, where and how serious.

Abstract:
Social investment programs are designed to provide opportunities to the less privileged so that they can contribute to the socioeconomic development of society. Stakeholders in social safety net programs (SSNPs) target vulnerable groups, such as the urban poor, women, the unemployed, and the elderly, with initiatives that have a transformative impact. Inadequate policy awareness remains a challenge, resulting in low participation rates in SSNPs. To achieve all-inclusive development, deliberate policies and programs that target this population have to be initiated by government, corporate bodies, and public-minded individuals. Artificial intelligence (AI) techniques could play an important role in improving the managerial decision support and policy-making process of SSNPs and increasing the social resilience of urban populations. To enhance managerial decision-making in social investment programs, we used a Bayesian network to develop an intelligent decision support system called the Social Safety Net Expert System (SSNES). Using the SSNES, we provide an advisory system to stakeholders who make management decisions, which clearly demonstrates the efficacy of SSNPs and inclusive development.

Abstract:
In India we live in a society where men and women have equal rights but as far as it goes these don’t hold up in real life scenarios and practical situations for women. Despite having all these laws and regulations to protect the rights of a woman, they still face problems. Women have grown powerful and are conquering our world’s greatest positions/frontiers but they face issues with our society’s narrow-minded behavior. Every third woman faces physical abuse/harassment in this world. Women Safety is a matter of concern and a smart phone can be used efficiently for personal security and other protection purposes. The existing apps need the user to interact with the interface and follow a sequence of steps to make them work. We are going to solve it by eliminating the user interaction with the app by providing an instant solution.

Abstract:
Wild ungulate species provide a much-needed protein source to many communities in developed and developing countries. Frequently, these game meat animals are slaughtered, and the meat is unknowingly contaminated by microorganisms and released to the unsuspecting public. This review investigates the global usage of organic acids (lactic and acetic acids) as microbial decontamination strategies during slaughter. The results show that there is a more open-minded approach to adopting possible decontamination plans as a tool to improve meat safety during slaughter. Developed countries continue to adopt these strategies, while developing countries are lagging behind. While decontamination of carcasses can lead to a reduction of microbial load on these carcasses, this strategy must not be seen as a replacement of hygiene management during the animals’ slaughter.

Abstract:
Recent developments in understanding the concept of problem in problem-oriented policing denote valuable perspectives but mainly from a substantialist perspective. In this article, the relational perspective in thinking of safety problems was introduced, and some key advancements presented. Exploiting causal and constitutive reasoning and the idea of the complexity of problems, the self-actional, inter-actional, and trans-actional perspectives were used for determining the differences between the substantialist and relationalist perspectives. The concept of problem was analysed from two perspectives. First, in light of initial and recent elaborations of the term. Second, through the actual use of the term. The substantialist ethos dominated through the data analysed and it has both advantages and disadvantages. However, relational thinking calls for a deeper understanding of safety problems. Resigning from the substantialist ethos and asking whether there are pre-given A-s and B-s, and turning towards the idea that there is no A-s without B-s, creates an environment for a more open-minded understanding of problems in policing.

Abstract:
Filmmakers are interested in dramas in which medicine and politics meet. This chapter discusses documentaries on health care in the United States contrasted with that in the United Kingdom, AIDS activism, the pharmaceutical industry, the women’s reproductive rights debate, and the vaccine-and-autism debate. Films by medical activists are often skewed in their presentation and usually attract only a like-minded audience and end up “preaching to the choir.” However, as questions of health care, abortion, vaccination, and drug availability and safety continue to create political debate, these films invite the medical establishment to respond (and sometimes, reluctantly, they must do so).

Abstract:
Blocked by novel judicial defenses that deprived them of the common law remedies that the general public enjoyed, workers agitated for decades until growing political pressure led employers and the courts to accept worker’s compensation in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. Two remarkable side-effects of the Worker’s Compensation Acts were the ignition of the safety movement and the reformulation of tort law in regards to technological harms. These changes came just as some of the dangers formerly reserved for industrial workers began to be visited upon consumers in the form of new, complex, and mass-produced products. Safety-minded engineers joined together to reassess the role of technology in accident-related injury, creating a new framework for design that shed old deterministic assumptions about operator behavior. Likewise, the legal community re-imagined tort law in view of a broad no-fault worker’s compensation system. The legal formulation culminated in a strict products liability regime in 1964, and a sea change in the social status of technology itself. But these two revolutionary conceptions, both oriented toward the protection of the user, are not equal: modern legal disputes serve to expose the disconnect between the engineering and legal frameworks of safe design.

Abstract:
Abstract In this work, a Nearly Autonomous Management and Control (NAMAC) system is designed to diagnose the reactor state and provide recommendations to the operator for maintaining the safety and performance of the reactor. A three layer-hierarchical workflow is suggested to guide the design and development of the NAMAC system. The three layers in this workflow corresponds to knowledge base, digital twin developmental layer (for different NAMAC functions), and NAMAC operational layer. Digital twin in NAMAC is described as knowledge acquisition system to support different autonomous control functions. Therefore, based on the knowledge base, a set of digital twin models is trained to determine the plant state, predict behavior of physical components or systems, and rank available control options. The trained digital twin models are assembled according to NAMAC operational workflow to support decision-making process in selecting the optimal control actions during an accident scenario. To demonstrate the capability of the NAMAC system, a case study is designed, where a baseline NAMAC is implemented for operating a simulator of the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) during a single loss of flow accident. Training database for development of digital twin models is obtained by sampling the control parameters in the GOTHIC data generation engine. After the training and testing, the digital twins are assembled into a NAMAC system according to the operational workflow. This NAMAC system is coupled with the GOTHIC plant simulator, and a confusion matrix is generated to illustrate the accuracy and robustness of implemented NAMAC system. It is found that within the training databases, NAMAC can make reasonable recommendations with zero confusion rate. However, when the scenario is beyond the training cases, the confusion rate increases, especially when the scenarios are more severe. Therefore, a discrepancy checker is added to detect unexpected reactor states and alert operators for safety-minded actions.
