Abstract:
The wire harness assembly process is a complicated manufacturing activity, which is becoming more complex because of the evolving nature of mechatronic and electronic products that require more connectors, sensors, controllers, communication networking, etc. Furthermore, the demand for wire harnesses continues to grow in all industries worldwide as the majority of equipment, appliances, machinery, vehicles, etc., are becoming “smart” (i.e., more mechatronic or electronic). Moreover, most of the wire harness assembly process tasks are done manually, and most of these are considered non-ergonomic for human assembly workers. Hence, the wire harness manufacturing industry is faced with the challenge of increasing productivity while improving the occupational health of its human assembly workers. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a literature review exploring the state of the use of collaborative robots in the wire harness assembly process due to their potential to reduce current occupational health problems for human assembly workers and increase the throughput of wire harness assembly lines, and to provide main findings, discussion, and further research directions for collaborative robotics in this application domain. Eleven papers were found in the scientific literature. All papers demonstrated the potential of collaborative robots to improve the productivity of wire harness assembly lines, and two of these in particular on the ergonomics of the wire harness assembly process. None of the papers reviewed presented a cost–benefit or a cycle time analysis to qualitatively and/or quantitatively measure the impact of the incorporation of collaborative robots in the wire harness assembly process. This represents an important area of opportunity for research with relevance to industry. Three papers remark on the importance of the integration of computer vision systems into a collaborative wire harness assembly process to make this more versatile as many types of wire harnesses exist. The literature review findings call for further research and technological developments in support of the wire harness manufacturing industry and its workers in four main categories: (i) Collaborative Robotics and Grippers, (ii) Ergonomics, (iii) Computer Vision Systems, and (iv) Implementation Methodologies.

Abstract:
Products and assets are becoming increasingly “smart”, e.g., mechatronic, electronic, or cyber-physical. In the lack of fully reliable wireless solutions, extensive wiring and wire bundling into wire harnesses are needed. This has manufacturing implications, leading to increasingly complex wire harness assembly processes, where numerous components, connectors, and cables are assembled, connecting critical and non-critical electric and electronic systems in smart products and assets. Thus, wire harnesses demand is rapidly rising in most industries, requiring human or robotic work. Often, required work tasks are repetitive and physically demanding, while still needing people for quality reasons. An attractive solution would therefore be humans collaborating with robots. Unfortunately, there are very few scientific studies on automation solutions using collaborative robots (cobots) for wire harness assembly process tasks to increase process productivity and improve work ergonomics. Furthermore, wire harness assembly process tasks are presently carried out 90% manually in this industry, causing serious ergonomic problems for assembly workers who perform such tasks daily. The challenge is reducing the ergonomic risks currently present in many established wire harness assembly processes while improving production time and quality. This paper presents an early prototype and simulation to integrate a cobot into a wire harness assembly process, primarily for work ergonomic improvements. The use of a cobot is specifically proposed to reduce ergonomic risks for wire harness assembly workers. Two methodologies: RULA and JSI were used to evaluate the ergonomics of the task of cable tie collocation. The real-world case study results illustrate the validation of a cobot which significantly reduced non-ergonomic postures in the task of placing cable ties in the wire harnesses assembly process studied. An ergonomic analysis without the cobot (the actual process) was conducted, based on RULA and JSI methodologies, presenting the highest possible scores in both evaluations, which calls for urgent changes in the current wire harness assembly process task studied. Then, the same analysis was performed with the cobot, obtaining significant reductions in the ergonomic risks of the task at hand to acceptable values.

Abstract:
The guitar industry is in Mancasan, Sukoharjo regency is a smallmedium enterprises which carried out finishing process to produceacoustic guitars. All of the process are done manually without anymachine. There is one process called fret wire installation where theoperator is in a static work posture for an extended period of time tohold the work piece. Nordic Body Map (NBM) assessment showedthat almost all assessed workers have pain in hip and right upperarm. There is indication of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDS) risk inleft upper arm, back, and waist of workers who conduct fret wiresinstallation process. This indication is confirmed using REBA. REBAScore for fret wiring operator is 10, it indicates that the investigationand modification was needed as soon as possible. This arises to aproblem called workers MSDS due to awkward posture. Thisresearch aims to design an ergonomic working table to reduce therisk of musculoskeletal disorder for fret wire installation operators.REBA was used to evaluate working posture to find the specificproblem. In addition, NIDA product development process andanthropometry concept were also implemented to develop workingtable based on the problem previously found. The result is theproposed working table which specifications are has adjustablesystem on the leg of the table, features a lock to hold the guitarhead, a support with a pad for the neck and body of the guitar, awork tool area and a half-coil fret wire arrangement, and a curvedtable base so that the operator is in a comfortable position and isclose to the work piece.

Abstract:
A series of 35 adult male industrial workers with displaced unstable transverse fractures of the shaft of the proximal phalanx of the fingers were treated with reduction and K-wire fixation leaving the metacarpophalangeal and interphalangeal joints free to move immediately after surgery. At final follow-up, the total active motion score of the injured finger was graded as excellent, good, fair, or poor if it was greater than 240°, 220–240°, 180–219°, or less than 180°, respectively. Complications were also documented. The results were compared with our previously published series of these fractures treated with two other techniques: percutaneous K-wires immobilizing the metacarpophalangeal joint and open reduction and interosseous loop wire fixation. The final TAM scores in the current study were excellent in 43%, good in 29%, fair in 14% and poor in 14%. Four out of the 35 patients (11%) had minor pin tract infection. These results were significantly better than the results following percutaneous K-wire fixation immobilizing the metacarpophalangeal joint indicating that immediate mobilization of all joints has a significant effect on the outcome.

Abstract:
Underground cables are inclined to faults because of underground conditions. Detecting particular fault area in the underground cable is a tedious one for that the whole line is to be dug check and settle issues. The proposed method using IoT identifies the correct fault position that makes repairing work simple. The professional domain workers identify the fault area sometimes they also are not able to predict the fault location. Determining fault in the cable itself take lots of time, cash and endeavours and furthermore permit to service underground links speedier. An excellent Wi-Fi featured ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller is utilised to implement the system. This device offers a total, ease, practical and easy to use method for continuous checking. The fault is acknowledged with the help of sensors placed over the cable. The cell phone application furnishes with a GUI to screen the information from a remote area. The cloud server act as the centre man between the hardware device and the cell phone application dealing with the data movement.

Abstract Introduction Paper aims to investigate the redesign of a lorry to reduce biomechanical load in kerbside waste collection workers. Two workers (one for gender) simulated unloading 10kg bins inside a lorry using five techniques at different heights (105, 135, 145, 185, 200cm) and horizontal distances (5, 35cm). Methods We used sEMG to calculate bilateral mean muscle activity as percentage of Maximum Voluntary Contraction (%MVC) from Anterior Deltoideus, Lateral Deltoideus, Upper Trapezius, and Erector Spinae. Results Workers refused to test 200cm for its height. Trunk muscles of both workers had highest %MVC at 145cm. For male, 105 and 135 showed the lowest %MVC values (16% ESdx, 23% ESsx). For woman, techniques less overloading were 105 and 185cm. Combined %MVC values were still high (65%). Both workers showed the lowest shoulders %MVC at 105cm. Man had the highest anterior deltoids %MVCs at 145cm; both trapezius showed the highest overall %MVC at 145 and 185cm. Woman had the highest shoulder %MVC on left side at 145cm; all TRdx values exceeded 40%. The most overloading height was 185cm. Conclusions Findings revealed negative and positive effects. Negative concern to pull a wire for opening the lorry’s backdoor at 145cm. The wire involves biomechanical load on shoulders. Handling at 145 also results in high %MVC dues to increased horizontal distance (35cm). Positive, concern lowering whole lorry to reduce lower limbs load in repeated hop on hop off task and a reduced handling height of container (135cm Vs. 105cm). Despite improvements biomechanical risk remains high. Acknowledgment Rubes Triva Foundation promoted this paper.

O pernambucano Othon Lynch Bezerra de Mello tornou-se proprietário de quatro fábricas de tecidos no decorrer da década de 1920, todas no estado de Pernambuco. O empresário fez fortuna nas décadas de 1930 e 1940, momento de grande expansão dos negócios em direção aos estados do Rio de Janeiro, local em que adquiriu a Companhia Agrícola e Industrial Magalhães, rebatizada de Fábrica Esther, Minas Gerais onde foi instalada a Fábrica de Tecidos Maria Amália e Alagoas onde adquiriu a Fábrica Fernão Velho, rebatizada de Fábrica Carmen. A venda e fabricação de tecidos nesse período garantiram a Bezerra de Mello um grande acúmulo de capitais com os quais decidiu diversificar os negócios. Na década de 1940, o Grupo Othon se constituía de duas Companhias Têxteis: o Cotonifício Othon Bezerra de Mello e a Companhia de Fiação e Tecelagem Bezerra de Mello, além de usinas de açúcar e investimentos na produção de energia, agropecuária e seguros. Nos anos de 1940, o industrial decidiu investir também no ramo da hotelaria, utilizando, para tanto, o capital acumulado no setor têxtil, de onde surgiria a imponente Rede de Hotéis Othon. Para além da construção de uma história empresarial, esta tese representa o esforço de pôr em evidência as estreitas relações entre industrialização, trabalho, política e sociedade, utilizando como um dos recursos elucidar e interpretar aspectos dos modos de vida e visões de mundo dos trabalhadores e do empresário, em suas formas autônomas e institucionalizadas, verificando-se em um período considerável de tempo as mediações entre sua experiência cotidiana e a presença como classe na cena política nacional.

The entrepreneur made his fortune in the 1930s and 1940s, a time of great expansion of business toward the states of Rio de Janeiro, where they acquired the Company for Agricultural and Industrial Magellan renamed Factory Esther, Minas Gerais where the factory was installed fabrics Maria Amalia and Alagoas where Ferdinand acquired the Old Factory, renamed Carmen. The sale and manufacture of fabrics that period ensured the Bezerra de Mello a large accumulation of capital with which decided to diversify the business. In the 1940s, the group was made up of two Othon Companies Textiles: The cotton mill Othon Bezerra de Mello and Spinning and Weaving Company Bezerra de Mello, besides sugar and investments in energy, agriculture and insurance. In the 1940s, the industry also decided to invest in the hotel business, using for this purpose, the accumulated capital in the textile sector, where the stately arise Network Othon Hotels. Apart from building a business history, this thesis represents the effort to highlight the close relationship between industrialization, labor, politics and society, using as a resource to elucidate and interpret aspects of lifestyles and worldviews of workers and the entrepreneur, in their autonomous and institutionalized forms, checking into a considerable period of time mediations between their everyday experience and presence in class as national political scene.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Wine farms in the Western Cape represent one of the pillars of the region's economy. The social problems that are prevalent among farm workers and their families have evolved over centuries along with the wine industry; the unique set of social, economic, and political conditions affecting rural dwellers in the Western Cape have created a set of challenges impeding a productive future. The interventions at Solms-Delta Wine Estate have empowered the farm community and thus provide a template for social reform. Capacity development initiatives have been central to the farm's management plan. The employment of a fulltime social worker allowed resource gathering to implement social reforms on the farm. The present study investigated the evolution of an approach that encompasses the social development perspective of social work theory. This study is an example of the methods used to bring about stronger community development capacity. The goal of the study was to gain an understanding of the nature of capacity-building initiatives on the wine farm under review from a social development perspective. A review of the historical roots of farm worker subjugation was undertaken to uncover the social dynamic of farm worker community development. Secondly, the study has outlined the political, economic, and legal institutional parameters for rural development. A third strand of the narrative describes the nature of capacity-building initiatives undertaken over the preceding six years, and their impact on the social development of the target community. Finally, the study explored the impact of local capacity development via a semi-structured questionnaire and subsequent interviews with the twenty-one participants. The results of the research outlined in this study provide a number of templates for social work interventions in rural communities on wine farms in the Western Cape. Given the centrality of the wine farm industry in the Western Cape, the success of social welfare initiatives at Solms-Delta delineates road maps for other community-based programmes that can be launched from the lessons of this study. The locality development model, with its emphasis on community input in problem solving provides a framework for countering the unique set of challenges created from the inception of colonialism up to the end of Apartheid social engineering. The empowering environment developed at Solms-Delta offers insight into rolling back historical ills and entitlement issues that bedevil social work practice. Successful community participation requires research into specific community dynamics and the resources to empower one of South Africa's most impoverished social strata.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wynplase in die Wes-Kaap vorm een van die pilare van die streek se ekonomie. Die maatskaplike probleme wat onder plaaswerkers en hul gesinne voorkom, het oor die eeue heen saam met die wynbedryf ontwikkel. Dit behels die unieke kombinasie van sosiale, ekonomiese en politieke omstandighede met betrekking tot die landelike bewoners van die Wes-Kaap, wat 'n uitdaging stel en 'n produktiewe toekoms belemmer. Die intervensies op die Solms-Delta wynlandgoed bemagtig die gemeenskap op die plaas en bied dus 'n voorbeeld vir sosiale hervorming. Kapasiteitsontwikkelingsinisiatiewe is sentraal tot die bestuursplan van die plase. Die aanstelling van 'n voltydse maatskaplike werker was 'n belangrike addisionele hulpbron om sosiale hervorming op die plaas te bewerkstellig. Die huidige studie ondersoek die evolusie van 'n benadering wat die sosiale ontwikkelingsperspektief van maatskaplike-werkteorie betrek. Hierdie studie is 'n voorbeeld van die metodes wat gebruik kan word om 'n sterker kapasiteit vir gemeenskapsontwikkeling te ontwikkel. Die doel van die studie was om 'n begrip vanuit 'n maatskaplike ontwikkelingsperspektief-oogpunt te verkry van die aard van kapasiteitsbou-inisiatiewe op die wynplaas onder oorsig. Om die sosiale dinamika van die plaaswerkergemeenskap se ontwikkeling aan die lig te bring, het die studie 'n oorsig van die historiese herkoms van die plaaswerkers onderneem. Tweedens, het die studie 'n oorsig onderneem van die politieke, ekonomiese en wetlike institusionele parameters vir landelike ontwikkeling. 'n Derde deel van die navorsing beskrywe die aard van kapasiteitsbou-inisiatiewe oor die afgelope ses jaar, en hul impak op die maatskaplike ontwikkeling van die teikengemeenskap. Ten slotte, het die studie die impak van die ontwikkeling van plaaslike kapasiteit deur middel van 'n semi-gestruktureerde vraelys en 'n daaropvolgende onderhoud met die 21 deelnemers ondersoek. Die resultate van die navorsing soos in hierdie verslag uiteengesit bied 'n aantal voorbeelde vir maatskaplike werk-ingrypings in landelike gemeenskappe op plase in die Wes-Kaap. Gegewe die sentraliteit van die wynbedryf in die Wes-Kaap, lewer die sukses van die maatskaplike welsynsinisiatiewe op Solms-Delta 'n voorbeeld vir ander gemeenskaps-gebaseerde programme wat uit die lesse van hierdie studie kan baat. Die lokaliteit-ontwikkelingsmodel, met sy klem op insette vanuit die gemeenskap om probleme op te los, bied 'n raamwerk vir die stryd teen die unieke stel uitdagings wat ontstaan het met die begin van kolonialisme en tot aan die einde van apartheid bly voortduur het. Die bemagtigings-omgewing wat op Solms-Delta ontwikkel het, bied insig in die rol van so 'n proses vir die bekamping van die historiese euwels en onregte wat die praktyk van maatskaplike werk so belemmer. Suksesvolle gemeenskapsdeelname vereis navorsing na die dinamika binne spesifieke gemeenskappe, asook al die nodige hulpbronne, om een van Suid-Afrika se mees verarmde sosiale strata te bemagtig.

Abstract:
The aim of my study is to investigate how representatives of wine-farm workers' unions and wine-farm workers' support groups formulate their ideas about procedures aiming at achieving improved conditions. As sustainability work and ethical follow-up are terms which most often are used within companies, and not reflect methods, procedures instruments etc. for change, I have chosen to name them approaches. The study's data is collected between April and June 2016, through interviews with representatives for the farm workers' unions and farm workers' support groups in the Western Cape province (where most of the wine districts are located) in South Africa. The results are structured by using the theory around 'mapmaking', originally created by Smith (2005), and which Newman (2012) further developed in her theory known as 'working the spaces of power'. The various approaches on how to improve working and living conditions that the study will show, are structured in clusters according to where the spaces of power are created. This forms the first part of the analysis and its purpose is partly descriptive. The map that is formed, containing the various approaches to improve the farm workers' positions, shows the plurality of aspects in which improvement can be made. The second part of the analysis is based on the presented result's clusters, on which theories of governmentality then are used to place the study in a broader context.

AbstractIn this chapter we consider the competence of older employees and how it has been developed and refined throughout their careers. We consider this competence in the light of earlier findings on the development of work-related knowledge and we suggest some new ways of interpreting the particular kind of competence older employees often have. We suggest that the concept of wisdom can be used to supplement our understanding of long career competence and based on our interview data we present a concept of the wise worker.

Abstract:
ZusammenfassungGig-Worker sind Arbeitskräfte, die ihre Dienstleistungen auf Internetplattformen anbieten und dadurch für verschiedene Aufraggeber tätig sein können. Jeder Auftrag wird als „Gig“ bezeichnet. Diese wachsende Form der Beschäftigungsart hat dazu geführt, dass Gig-Worker ähnlich einem Einzelunternehmen selbstständig agieren. Dementsprechend ist auch unternehmerisches Denken und Handeln erforderlich. Marketingaktivitäten, wie z. B. die Erstellung und Ausführung eines Marketingkonzeptes, sind ein wichtiger Bestandteil davon. Dieses Kapitel soll Gig-Workern nützliches Grundwissen anbieten und gleichzeitig eine Vorlage für zukünftige Marketingkonzepte sein. Zu Beginn werden das Thema „Gig-Work“, dessen wachsende Verbreitung und die Problemstellung dieser Arbeit vorgestellt. Später werden klassische und aktuelle Theorien zum Marketing und dessen Konzepte erklärt und anschließend der Bezug zu Gig-Workern in der Schweiz hergestellt.

Abstract:
Analyses of how wine experts use language to describe wine experience abound in academic works from different perspectives. However, little attention has been devoted to understanding the processes underlying wine discourse interpretation by general consumers, a large segment of the wine community that often lacks essential specific lexical and conceptual knowledge of the field. In this paper a proposal is built about how non-expert wine discourse interpretation develops. Based on Relevance theory together with a close analysis non-expert preferences and the specific design of the linguistic stimuli, we construct a hypothesis about the inferential nature of wine discourse interpretation and the lines along which this process could develop.

Abstract:
This paper aims to study the terminology of the wine language in the context of traditional medicine from a translational perspective. The treatment of medical terminology, as well as its translation into Spanish, involves exceptional difficulty due to the level of specialization of this field. In doing so, the professional specialised in medical translation works with a highly specialized language, composed of broad-ranging set of technical terms. Subjected constantly to scientific updating, these terms are conditioned by the influence of other languages, as their long-lived Greco-Latin roots or the current English-speaking influence in health science. Likewise, wine consumption has a deep-rooted relationship with medicine, given its healing properties granted by traditional medicine throughout history and which nowadays also includes scientific medicine. Therefore, using research scientific documents, some aspects of the wine’s lexicon are analysed in this article, with the principal objective of proposing a translation from German to Spanish of the term and its context, rethinking the relevance of its correct treatment.

Abstract Micro-component brush wires are important parts of many conductive structures. The pressure of the brush wires has a crucial influence on product performance. Testing and adjusting the pressure of the brush wires is a key step to improve product performance. The existing measurement and adjustment schemes are poor in accuracy and low in automation, and rely heavily on the experience of workers. This study has developed a set of high-precision automatic brush-pressure testers, obtained the rule of brush-wire pressure adjustment through simulation calculations, and realized the high-precision, automatic measurement, and adjustment of brush pressure.

Abstract:
Heated jackets are a popular clothing item among outdoor enthusiasts, athletes, and workers who need to work outside in cold weather [1]. They offer a convenient and effective way to stay warm in cold temperatures, while also providing therapeutic benefits for those who suffer from certain medical conditions [2]. However, existing methods and tools can be expensive and bulky, and some may not provide even heat distribution. A new approach to creating a heater that can be added to any existing jacket and powered by plugging into a wall socket or connecting to a battery source offers a practical, flexible, and cost-effective solution to the need for warmth in cold weather [3]. This approach allows users to easily add heating elements to their existing clothing, without the need to purchase a new jacket or invest in expensive heated clothing. The option to power the heater through a wall socket or battery source offers flexibility and convenience for users who may not have access to a power source when they need it [4]. Overall, the innovative approach to adding heating elements to existing jackets offers a practical, flexible, and cost effective solution to the need for warmth in cold weather.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Offshore pipelay is a complex activity that is subject to some risks due to the challenging operating scenario. The risks may concern the workers during pipes handling, the subsea environment that may be subject to huge seabed rectification works and the integrity of the pipeline. This paper will present the technological roadmap developed by Saipem to implement a more sustainable pipelay operation, focusing on the safety and integrity of the environment, personnel and pipeline. Four innovative tools will be described. The Hands Free Lifting Beam (HFLB) is a system for automatic offshore lifting of pipes, removing human intervention and keeping the workers away from the line of fire. The AFT (Anti Flooding Tool) is a remotely operated tool for pipeline protection from flooding in case of a wet buckle occurrence during lay. The I.A.U (Integrated Acoustic Unit) can perform a safe and non-intrusive, continuous piggability monitoring of the pipeline catenary during lay. The UCB (Underwater Cold Bending) is a solution for crossing sharp slope transition avoiding seabed preparation work and associated environmental impacts. The HFLB grabs and lifts the pipes from cargo barge to pipelay vessel under the control of the operator located in a safe area. The AFT runs inside the laid pipeline during the entire lay, remaining in the safe section already laid (free from possible buckling running effects); it automatically plugs the pipe in case of an accidental flooding event, keeping safe the portion of the pipeline already laid. The I.A.U exploits the acoustic reflectometry and can be integrated with the ILUC (Internal Line Up Clamp) on firing line. It is an alternative to Mechanical Buckle Detector (MBD) which is an intrusive system with associated risks for the pipeline like wire break and loss of the device inside the pipeline, device stacking and possible damage of internal coating during pulling. The UCB is a combination of a new installation method and new subsea bending machine ROV operated, to realize cold bends safely and effectively on the pipeline profile without interrupting the continuous pipelay operation. The UCB can realize the bends underwater, directly on the pipeline catenary when the pipe joint to be bent is landing or close to landing on the seabed, reducing the operational cost while increasing the sustainability. The presented tools can pave the way for safer worker operations during pipe handling (with HFLB); for de-risking the flooding of laid pipeline in case of wet buckle event avoiding the use of a dewatering spread and chemicals for seawater treating, reducing costs and environmental impact (with AFT); for de-risking the monitoring of pipeline during lay (with I.A.U) and for a sustainable crossing of steep escarpment without excavation works (with UCB).

Abstract:
The Tokamak Fusion Test Reactor (TFTR), at the Plasma Physics Laboratory of Princeton University (PPPL) was the first fusion reactor fueled by a mixture of deuterium and tritium (D-T) to be decommissioned in the world. The decommissioning was performed over a period of three years and was completed safely, on schedule and under budget [1]. Provided is an overview of the project and detail of various factors which led to the success of the project. Discussion will cover management of the project, engineering planning before the project started and during the field work was being performed, training of workers in the field, the novel adaptation of tools from other industry, and the development of an innovative process for the use of diamond wire to segment the activated / contaminated vacuum vessel. The success of the TFTR decommissioning provides a viable model for the decommissioning of D-T burning fusion devices in the future.

Abstract:
Finishing processes such as deburring are performed on a wide variety of products in various quantities by workers on a piece-by-piece basis. Accordingly, the accuracy of the product depends on the worker’s skill. The aim of this research is to develop a finish machining support system. The machining is supported by using a haptic device and controlled by a bilateral control system. Here, we propose a control method based on a machining model made up of several components, including tool speed, feed speed of the tool and others, in order to control the robots under conditions in which it is possible to achieve highly accurate machining surfaces. The motion of a slave robot that requires precise control is controlled automatically, and the worker is given the force calculated by this control method. The effectiveness of this system is shown in a machining experiment.

Abstract:
Abstract Top 8 digital safety trends in Oil and Gas in 2023 Oil and Gas is one of the most hazardous industries to work in. From exposure to toxic gases to working at dangerous temperatures, lone worker management to fall detection, there are a host of safety issues that are common to the industry. It is also an industry undergoing a revolutionary digital transformation. With changes, come challenges and new opportunities. This paper looks at the top digital safety trends that are taking place within the industry. The top trends that will be investigated in this paper include: Real time safety solutions (RTLS): Real-time location services have re-defined personnel monitoring. From real time access control to personnel monitoring, geo-fencing to vehicle collision avoidance, real-time location tracking has a wide range of applications that can be used to make the industry safer.Remote monitoring: Remote monitoring technologies are one of the most adopted digital technologies used by Oil and Gas companies around the world. From a safety perspective, remote monitoring has changed the game for confined space monitoring. Gas monitors, breathing air apparatus can all now be monitored remotely reducing the number of onsite personnel required contributing to a safer and more efficient worksite.Connected worker solutions: Networked devices are transforming lone workers to connected workers. Through a comprehensive solution of apps, industrial IIoT infrastructure and connected devices, workers can now directly communicate and connect with the command center ensuring enhanced safety for lone workers.Smarter equipment: Equipment, devices and tools are also getting smarter. All traditional equipment can be ‘smarter’ by using data, AI and IIoT technology to work with each other to revolutionize their role in safety.AI solutions: AI is being increasingly used in Oil and Gas for a range of safety solutions. Computer Vision for example has a versatile range of applications that ensure safer workers. From PPE compliance to fall detection, Computer Vision and other AI technologies can be used to ensure safer Oil and Gas workers.Automation of hazardous and high-risk jobs: Robots and drones have been taking over high-risk jobs to keep workers safe.Training in the digital era: Better trained workers are safer workers. With the rapid rise in digital technologies, there are a growing number of digital and hybrid training and coaching sessions that are becoming more popular. AI is also being increasingly used in training to ensure a highly trained workforce.Digital twins: More organizations are investing in digital twins to detect, predict and even help prevent incidents from happening in the real world by better understanding their impacts in the digital world by gaining a clearer comprehension of their consequences in the digital sphere.

Abstract:
This paper reports on an illustrative human rights impact assessment (HRIA) of the Italian wine supply chains of Systembolaget, the Swedish monopoly alcohol retailer. The HRIA aimed to evaluate the actual and potential human rights impacts at the production stage of the value chain in Italy, to identify their root causes, and to provide recommendations to relevant stakeholders concerning their prevention, mitigation and/or remediation. The assessment took just over a year and consisted of five phases of analysis using a methodology aligned with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs). However, the onset of Italy’s severe first wave of coronavirus in 2020 meant that the assessment team was unable to conduct the field study phase with the full rigour required of an HRIA. The field phase started in September 2019, with an initial assessment phase based on a literature review and a round of stakeholder interviews from September 2019 to March 2020. Further, limited, worker interviews were conducted from October 2020 to January 2021. The result is an illustration of the human rights risks that are present in the areas of Italy from which Systembolaget sources its wine.

The basic hypothesis is that they are positive, due to either equipment-skill complementarity or to skill advantage in technology adoption. Using a panel data set with a wide rage of countries, the relative wage and relative employment of skilled workers are regressed on lagged investment in machinery and other relevant variables. The results indicate a strong, positive effect of machinery investment on the relative demand for skilled labor.

Full text
Abstract:
Since 2020, the richest five men in the world have doubled their fortunes. During the same period, almost five billion people globally have become poorer. Hardship and hunger are a daily reality for many people worldwide. At current rates, it will take 230 years to end poverty, but we could have our first trillionaire in 10 years. This report shows how a huge concentration of global corporate and monopoly power is exacerbating inequality economy-wide. Seven out of ten of the world’s biggest corporates have either a billionaire CEO or a billionaire as their principal shareholder. Through squeezing workers, dodging tax, privatizing the state and spurring climate breakdown, corporations are driving inequality and acting in the service of delivering ever-greater wealth to their rich owners. To end extreme inequality, governments must radically redistribute the power of billionaires and corporations back to ordinary people. A more equal world is possible if governments effectively regulate and reimagine the private sector.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper develops and applies a new approach to the estimation of the impact of economy-wide reforms on wage differentials, using a new high-quality data set on wage differentials by schooling level for 18 Latin American countries for the period 1980-1998. The results indicate that reform overall has had a short-run disequalizing effect of expanding wage differentials, although this effect tends to fade over time. This disequalizing effect is due to the strong impact of domestic financial market reform, capital account liberalization and tax reform. On the other hand, privatization contributed to narrowing wage differentials, and trade openness had no effect on wage differentials. Technological progress, rather than trade flows, appears to be a channel through which reforms are affecting inequality. The paper also explores the effects of reforms on wage levels; tentative results suggest that reforms have had a positive effect on real average wages, but a negative effect on the wages of less-schooled workers.

Abstract:
ANZSOG is collaborating with the Queensland Public Service (QPS) and the Centre for Social Impact (CSI) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) on a research project to address system-wide challenges of leadership development, including career transitions and generational transformation in the context of capability planning for the QPS. This interim evidence review compares leadership enablement approaches from across several jurisdictions, as well as gathering insights on QPS’s existing leadership foundations. It found that traditional leadership frameworks, such as the existing QPS framework, tend to outline a ‘one-size fits all’ pathway for leadership and describe a linear set of steps to progress up the leadership ladder. As an alternative, and a precursor for QPS, it presents a well-researched and developed framework (the Wallace 2D framework) which uses a relationship-focused leadership approach to provide better opportunities for all workers in QPS to thrive through progression up the leadership ladder.
