Positions and approaches of scientists to determine the typical traces of violation of safety rules during performance of increased danger works are considered. It was stated that material traces of violations of safety rules during performance of increased danger works are detected as directly on the scene as in various documents. Trace on the scene can provide information on the conditions under which these works are carried out, the presence of dangerous manufacturing and external factors, technical causes of violation, degree of victim's fault, etc. Typical material traces include victim's body damage; traces of hands, feet, microparticles of the victim or offender clothes; destruction of important building for production, of mechanisms or machinery or of residential building. Allocation of material tracks is closely linked to the situation of crime commission, in particular, to time, place, type of production, nature of performed work. These traces can indicate certain circumstances of crime commission, namely: event nature, work conditions; inactive status of mechanisms, devices and tools used by the victim; event cause. Material traces bearers are certain documents related to the workplace safety management at enterprise, on site during execution of a particular type of works. Each type (group) of crimes is characterized by the availability of a certain Trace Patterns which generalized data are essential practical importance for their investigation. Data set on material traces of a crime, their features and localization should be considered as one of elements of criminalistic description of the crimes regarding violation of safety rules during increased danger works.

Around 124.6 million individuals experience the ill effects of cardiovascular ailments universally. The danger of cardiovascular ailments increments with propelling age in the two sexes. Circadian musicality is liable for a smoothed out working of different body capacities. Certain capacities and hormones have their pinnacle levels as per the organic day or evening of circadian cadence. Move work and rest issues like obstructive rest apnea can cause circadian misalignment that influences diverse metabolic, immunological, and cardiovascular capacities, which eventually expands the danger of cardiovascular illnesses. Our current research was conducted at Shaikh Zayed Hospital from Feb 2021 to Jan 2022. We methodically looked the online information base PubMed to discover papers on randomized controlled preliminaries from the past five years, assessing the function of move work and distinctive rest problems in causing circadian misalignment and its impact on the danger of cardiovascular maladies. Fifty papers were shortlisted, also, after the utilization of different incorporation and prohibition models, 18 papers were picked; and afterward after a careful investigation of the content, eight papers were chosen for the audit. All papers were assessed for quality. Two papers zeroed in on the impact of move take a shot at cardiovascular ailments, though five papers assessed the function of rest problems on circadian cadence and the danger of cardiovascular illnesses. Move work and rest related problems were found to cause circadian misalignment, and it was discovered to be related with an expansion in the danger of cardiovascular maladies. Dealing with these issues can help decrease the danger of cardiovascular infections. Keywords: Circadian Maladministration 'S Position Sleeplessness Heart Disease.

Development of coal deposits in Ukraine is carried out in complicated mining and geological conditions in the presence of high parameters of gas formation, mountain pressure, temperature of enclosing rocks, danger of appearance of sudden coal emissions, rock and gas and the ability of minerals to spontaneous combustion. Being found in mining work places (permanent or temporary stay), as well as while moving to the place of performing work, there is an influence possibility on an employee of hazardous and harmful production factors that by their origin can be of industrial or natural nature. The analysis of accidents in the mining industry demonstrates that accidents occur with the miners who are in the mine, not only while performing a task at the work place, as well as during a descent into the mine leaving the cage on the working horizon, during the movement of mine workings on foot or underground transport to the work place. The research concerning of the attribution to the concept of "work with high risk "of stay of the workers in mine workings while of moving to the place of performing works during carrying out forensic engineering and technical examinations regarding investigation on causes and consequences of emergencies in the mining and underground conditions is carried out. Investigating normative documents and regulations and other sources regarding the regulation of underground works, it possible to conclude that underground staying, namely moving to a workplace by mine working is an operational need, when the worker is located in a dangerous area where he can be exposed to action of hazardous and/or a harmful production factor of natural or anthropogenic origin, therefore the movement of workers in mine workings to the place of performing works is classified as "work with increased danger".

Full textAbstract:
The shift in language classroom organization from teacher-fronted to student group work has received a growing amount of theoretical and empirical support (cf. Long, 1983; Long, Adams, McLean, and Castanos, 1976; Taylor, 1982). However, this practice is becoming so popular that it is in danger of turning into yet another ESL bandwagon. The following study was conducted, therefore, to evaluate the role of group work in the classroom, specifically in regard to its possible effects on classroom second language acquisition. Comparisons were made of three ESL classrooms during group vs. teacher-fronted classroom interaction on decision-making tasks.Analysis focused on three broad categories: (1) grammaticality of input, (2) negotiation of input, and (3) individual input/production. Significant differences between the two participation patterns were indicated only in the increased amount of input and production for individual students during group interaction. Task, rather than participation pattern was shown to be a more important variable with regard to parameters (1) and (2). These results suggested that group work has a useful but somewhat restricted role in classroom second language acquisition.

Full textAbstract:
An effective approach to solving the problem of reducing man-made hazards is the use of specialized systems for forecasting and minimizing risks. The theoretical basis for hazard assessment is probabilistic safety analysis (IAB). The most common method of assessing the danger and accident is the development of formalized models of events is the use of logical-probabilistic models "failure tree" (FTA) and "event tree" (ETA). These methods are widely used in the world to analyze the risk of accidents at facilities with increased levels of danger. They are used both for the preliminary analysis of safety during the development of recommendations for reducing the level of risk and for investigating the causes of accidents at hazardous facilities. In Ukraine, such methods are used in the development of safety declarations for high-risk facilities. Considering a great number of hazards inherent in the operation of main pipelines, it is important to understand which of these risks are most critical. The specifics of their operation is directly related to the risk of cascading accidents. The purpose of the work is to establish criteria and assess the danger of accidents at the compressor station of the main gas pipeline.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Studies have shown that the immune system can recognize self-antigens under conditions (eg, cell injury) in which the self-tissue might elaborate immune-activating endogenous danger signals. Uric acid (UA) is an endogenous danger signal recently identified to be released from dying cells. Prior work has shown that UA activates immune effectors of both the innate and adaptive immune system, including neutrophils and cytotoxic T-cell immunity. However, it was unclear whether UA could enhance antibody immunity, which was examined in this study. When added to dying tumor cells or with whole protein antigen, UA increased IgG1-based humoral immunity. Further, UA blocked growth of tumor in subsequent tumor challenge experiments, which depended on CD4, but not CD8, T cells. Sera derived from UA-treated animals enhanced tumor growth, suggesting it had little role in the antitumor response. UA did not signal for T-cell expansion or altered tumor-infiltrating leukocyte populations. Consistent with the lack of T-cell expansion, when applied to dendritic cells, UA suppressed T-cell growth factors but up-regulated B cell–activating cytokines. Understanding the nature of endogenous danger signals released from dying cells may aid in a better understanding of mechanisms of immune recognition of self.

Full textAbstract:
Although the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) scale is a widely utilized instrument, little data on construct validity is available about its use with clients having schizophrenia. This study compared point-specific GAF scores with concurrent ratings of symptomatology and social and occupational impairments using the Functional Assessment Rating Scale (Ward & Dow, 1994). A linear multiple regression analysis of empirical data from investigations of clients' global functioning showed that increased work and school-related problems, danger to others, and psychotic symptoms predicted lower GAF scores. In general, GAF scores seem to reflect the construct of global psychological, social, and occupational functioning that the scale was designed to measure.

The six Arab monarchies of the Persian Gulf host some of the largest global populations of international labor migrants. As COVID-19 began spreading across the Gulf, migrants made up a large share of the positive cases identified. Migrants’ living and working conditions in the Gulf and other structural vulnerabilities increased their exposure to the disease. Despite the risks of staying in the Gulf, many lower-income migrants preferred to do rather than returning to their home countries. For them, travel restrictions and the difficulty of finding work back home in the midst of the pandemic have outweighed the immediate danger of infection and illness.

The use of hearing protectors is a frequent way to avoid the impact of noise present in the work environment. However, it should be kept in mind that the use of hearing protectors, while reduces the threat created by noise, also diminishes the perception of sounds that are important for the safety of the employee. In such cases, employee’s safety can be improved/increased by using a system to detect the near presence of a moving vehicle. Such a system should be able to transmit information on detected danger to an employee using hearing protectors. The article discusses the possible ways of providing such information to employees using hearing protectors. The advantages and disadvantages of using acoustic, light and vibration signals for this purpose were considered. The authors also present original research results to confront the possibility of perceiving the vibration signal produced by two types of wearables.

Purpose The salvation of human life is the goal of work for all rescue units. At the same time, a significant part of rescue operations is carried out in buildings or premises, which themselves are often in a state of destruction or are emergency ones. This paper aims to find how it is possible to carry out rescue operations in the face of the threat of constant collapse of the building. Design/methodology/approach To study the collapse hazard of the building, the information systems are used that display the process of rescue measures in case of a threat of deformation of the building in which there is a risk of burnback or destruction. Findings The findings show that the analysis of destruction parameters online allows using infrared sensors to form a picture of the allocation of places where people can be and thus saves lives while reducing the risk for the fire and rescue unit. To implement the presented format, it is proposed to use infrared sensors. Originality/value The use of infrared sensors allows online interaction with foci of dangerous situations and identifies the main aspects of the stratification of the preparation of the fire and rescue unit’s activities in conditions of increased danger.

Solid barriers represent danger for the driver in case of traffic lane escape. This threat can be represented by a drainage ditch culvert face. The access bridge is not usually conspicuous enough near the traffic lane so that the driver could ditch and crash this barrier in case of an exceptional situation such as avoidance manoeuvres. This work deals with a technical solution of access bridges with an integrated deformation zone which was designed on the ground of a detailed analysis of current types of the construction. The new technical solution was proved by means of a numerical simulation of passenger car impact and compared with the current design of culvert faces.

Full textAbstract:
Ultrasonic waves are mechanical waves with a frequency greater than 20,000 Hz. Ultrasonic waves are emitted by devices that are used in industry or that have a medical or aesthetic purpose. There is growing interest in the effect of ultrasound absorption on the human body, since people’s exposure to these acoustic waves has increased considerably in recent years. There are more and more devices that emit ultrasounds used for different sanitary procedures, aesthetic treatments and industrial processes, creating more possibilities of ultrasound noise, and therefore an increased risk of occupational hazard and occupational danger. Experiments on animals have shown damage to internal organs from receiving different ultrasonic frequencies. The main task of this work was to organize and summarize recent studies on ultrasound to reflect the current state of this technique and establish a systematic basis for future lines of research. This work has allowed us to better understand the unknown field of these high frequencies of sound, and highlights the need to carry out more studies on the ultrasound emissions that can be absorbed by the human body to determine how this energy could affect humans by calculating the maximum dose of exposure and developing manuals for the use of ultrasound-emitting equipment to protect the health of workers and all people. It is necessary to develop regulations by public administrations to improve the protection of workers, health professionals, patients and all people in general for better occupational safety, indoor environmental quality and environmental health.

Full textAbstract:
Alcohol plays a major role in sexual assaults, but few studies have examined its impact on recovery outcomes, particularly in longitudinal studies. In a longitudinal study of 1,013 adult sexual assault survivors, we investigated the effects of victim drinking on posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as well as the mediating role of characterological and behavioral self-blame attributions. In line with some prior research, victims who were drinking before their assault experienced less PTSD, but more self-blame than those who were not. Characterological, but not behavioral self-blame was related to increased PTSD symptoms. Thus, although drinking was overall related to less PTSD, it was also associated with increased PTSD via self-blame attributions, highlighting the danger of blaming victims of alcohol-related rapes for their assaults. Implications for future research and clinical work with survivors of alcohol-related sexual assaults are drawn.

Full textAbstract:
This experiment investigated the influence of warning signal words and a signal icon on perceptions of hazard for consumer products. Under the pretext of a marketing research study, 90 high school and college students rated product labels on variables such as product familiarity, frequency of use, and perceived hazard. Sixteen labels from actual household products were used and stored on a computer. Nine of the products labels were used to carry the nine signal word conditions. Five conditions presented the signal words NOTE, CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER, and LETHAL together with a brief warning message. In two other conditions a signal icon (exclamation point surrounded by a triangle) was presented together with the terms DANGER and LETHAL. The final two conditions were controls, one had a warning message but had no signal word, and the other had no warning message or signal word. Seven product labels were “fillers” that never contained a warning. Results showed that the presence of a signal word increased perceived hazard compared to its absence. Between extreme terms (e.g., NOTE and DANGER), significant differences were noted, but not between terms usually recommended in warning design guidelines. The presence of the signal icon had no significant effect on hazard perception. Implications of the results and the value of the research methodology for future warnings” investigations are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Many anti-cancer therapeutics lead to the release of danger associated pattern molecules (DAMPs) as the result of killing large numbers of both normal and transformed cells as well as lysis of red blood cells (RBC) (hemolysis). Labile heme originating from hemolysis acts as a DAMP while its breakdown products exert varying immunomodulatory effects. Labile heme is scavenged by hemopexin (Hx) and processed by heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1, Hmox1), resulting in its removal and the generation of biliverdin/bilirubin, carbon monoxide (CO) and iron. We recently demonstrated that labile heme accumulates in cancer cell nuclei in the tumor parenchyma of Hx knockout mice and contributes to the malignant phenotype of prostate cancer (PCa) cells and increased metastases. Additionally, this work identified Hx as a tumor suppressor gene. Direct interaction of heme with DNA G-quadruplexes (G4) leads to altered gene expression in cancer cells that regulate transcription, recombination and replication. Here, we provide new data supporting the nuclear role of HO-1 and heme in modulating DNA damage response, G4 stability and cancer growth. Finally, we discuss an alternative role of labile heme as a nuclear danger signal (NDS) that regulates gene expression and nuclear HO-1 regulated DNA damage responses stimulated by its interaction with G4.

Hydraulic actuators that commonly used in machine work systems are not equipped with protection features preventing the autonomous insertion and extension of a piston rod because of the influence of external forces. Consequently, a spontaneous fall of working circuits in the event of the loss of tightness of supply lines of an actuator may occur. Currently applied safety features that are sometimes mounted directly on hydraulic cylinders as in the case of mining machinery intended for exploitation in black coal mines protect working systems from uncontrolled lowering. However, their design forces the drive to be started to make it safe to leave the work system. If, for any reason, the drive system of a machine cannot be started and the work system is raised, its lowering can take place only by unsealing the hydraulic system, which is unforeseeable for constructors and carries the danger of crushing a person or persons involved. The paper presents a new solution for hydraulic cylinders, which enables, among other things, the controlled and safe insertion of a piston rod under load without the need for having the drive system started.

The results of investigations are examined in terms of the development of custom ecological safety controls of the action of chemical and technogenic factors. The work is executed in the Department of Ecological Safety and Natural Management of Kremenchuk Mykhaylo Ostrohradskyi National University (Ukraine). The actuality of the theme is determined by insufficient knowledge of the simultaneous impact of factors of the formation of the ecological danger of different genesis, imperfection and the high cost of existing technical safety management tools. Research is conducted in the Kremenchug socio-economic area - region with the intensive technogenic loading. Where the simultaneous presence of constituents of the danger of different genesis and unfavorable keeping of its sources takes place in relation to the objects of the different setting. On results of monitoring of the states of the ecological danger, its regionally significant components and sources are identified: a waste disposal site, technological ponds of a washing and steaming station, technogenic earthquakes. On the basis of monitoring observations and instrumental measurements, manifestations of an ecological danger are recorded: exceeding the permissible concentrations of harmful substances in aquifers, as a result of which the water in the wells does not meet the standards and is not suitable for consumption; exceeding the permissible levels of vibrations of structural elements in living quarters, cracks and plastering of plaster were also found, temporary deterioration of people’s health was recorded. The system of technical decisions is developed on a management ecological safety. The technology of rendering of the ground deposits by destructors harmless is applied, due to what the sources of ecological danger are liquidated at the washing-steaming station. Experience of the improvement of position descriptions of sources of technogenic earthquakes is grounded, namely artificial change of parameters of environment with the purpose of limitation of area of distribution of waves to the dangerous objects (low-power explosions for the crushing of hard rocks, the construction of near-surface hollow protective structures filled with porous materials, the planting of certain tree species with developed root system). For cleaning of water objects from heavy metals, petroleum products, and fats, the sorbents of increased absorptive capacity, manufactured using an improved method (the use of grinding and mechanical activation processes) from wastes from the agro-industrial complex are used.

The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996 was a landmark in American social policy. There were a number of objectives, but the primary purpose was to end the Aid to Families with Dependent Children programme which was a cash benefit paid to poor, very largely single-parent, families. The underlying theme was that AFDC had constituted a ‘something for nothing’ programme which had violated the primacy of work. The Act acknowledged that government had an initial duty to aid those falling on hard times, but also stated that there comes a time when government's obligation diminishes. This legislation has generated much interest in the UK, but there is a danger of important elements of the American story being overlooked. In order to understand, therefore, just what is going on this paper looks at the US welfare-to-work experiment on its own terms. The article looks at the movement behind reform and at why, despite evidence of increased hardship for some, five years on from passage the conventional wisdom is that PRWORA has been a success.

This article showcases a research, dissemination and impact study on the striptease industry that explores why key stakeholders (dancers) are excluded, and ways that inclusion in policy development is achievable. This form of erotic work has undergone increased attention from policy and regulatory officials in recent years with the introduction of a new licensing process as venues are categorised as Sexual Entertainment Venues. The article will demonstrate how community and campaign group voices were heard over that of the dancers themselves, who were not consulted in the process of the legislative change. However, the article shows how small but significant interventions into policy development by direct work with stakeholders (here Licensing Committees and officers) can make steps towards an inclusion of dancer welfare and safety issues. Finally, we propose a set of principles that can ensure dancer and sex worker voices are included in policy consultation and decision making to ensure evidence-based policy making.

AIMS: Dancers have high injury rates of the lower extremity. External factors such as footwear likely alter the work demands placed on the lower extremity joints when performing dance-style movements. Research on pedestrians shows an increase in knee work demand when wearing heels, which may occur in dancers as well. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of heeled shoes on lower extremity joint work demand during a basic dance-specific jump (sauté) in dancers when compared to barefoot. METHODS: Ten healthy, female dancers (age 25.6±4.7 yrs; height 1.7±0.1 m; weight 64.9±9.2 kg; mean years of dance training 17.6±6.4) performed repetitive vertical bipedal dance jumps (sautés) barefoot as well as wearing heeled dance shoes. Sagittal plane hip, knee, and ankle kinetics were calculated. Percentages of work done by these joints were calculated in comparison to the work done by the leg as a whole and compared between the two conditions. RESULTS: During a dance-specific jump, the percent contribution of energy absorption was significantly different at the ankle and knee between the two conditions. The ankle contribution decreased from 50.7±6.1% in the bare condition to 34.9±5.3% in the shod condition (p=0.002), and the knee contribution increased from 38.6±3.9% barefoot to 55.1±2.8% shod (p=0.002). The same pattern was seen for energy generation, with the ankle contribution decreasing from 48.1±7.3% to 35.6±6.9% and the knee contribution increasing from 43.3±5.6% to 56.4±6.1% in the bare vs shod condition (both p=0.002). There was no significant difference in the percent contribution from the hip. CONCLUSION: With heeled shoes, there is a shift in work demand from the ankle to the knee with no change at the hip as compared to barefoot.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The most common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy is hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. When conservative measures fail, providers often use medications to treat persistent hypoglycemia. Diazoxide is first-line therapy for neonatal hypoglycemia and works by inhibiting insulin secretion. Diazoxide is associated with fluid retention, and less commonly with respiratory decompensation and pulmonary hypertension. Case reports documenting these severe adverse events exist in the literature, although the overall incidence, risk factors, and timing for these effects in a newborn are not clearly defined. Methods: We performed a retrospective chart review of all infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) at Regional One Health from 1 January 2013 until 15 August 2019, who received diazoxide as a treatment for persistent hypoglycemia secondary to hyperinsulinism. Patients were stratified as either having no adverse event or having an adverse outcome to the medication. A severe adverse outcome was defined as any known major side effect of the medication, which a patient developed within 2 weeks of medication initiation that led to medication discontinuation. Results: From our pharmacy database, we identified a total of 15 babies who received diazoxide for persistent hypoglycemia. Of these patients, eight (53%) were classified as having a complication requiring discontinuation of the medication. Six out of eight patients required intubation with mechanical ventilation and five out of eight patients developed pulmonary hypertension. All patients returned to their baseline respiratory support after drug discontinuation. Conclusions: A total of 53% of our study population had an adverse outcome to diazoxide. Previous studies suggest 5% of patients may have respiratory decompensation and require ventilatory support while on diazoxide; however, 40% of our patients deteriorated and then required mechanical ventilation. Based on our data, respiratory deterioration may be more likely to occur when diazoxide is used in preterm infants, those with lower birth weight and intrauterine growth restriction. Plain language summary The dangers in diazoxide Newborns could experience a transient period of low blood glucose levels soon after birth. However, some may progress to persistent low blood glucose levels that cannot be controlled with adequate glucose infusion and may require other ways of treatment. Diazoxide is the first-line drug approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for this condition. However, certain cases have reported the development of respiratory deterioration, including increased blood pressure in lung circulation after its use. This prompted a black box warning in 2015 by the FDA. The incidence of neonatal low blood glucose levels seems to have increased and so has the use of this drug. Our study identifies 15 newborns who received diazoxide at Regional One Health neonatal intensive care unit in the past 6 years and reports a significantly higher rate of adverse events in our population leading to drug discontinuation in almost 53% of our cases.

AbstractIn this article presented results of researching corrosion of steel bars in aggressive environment in time under loading. For researching were used special equipment. The experience and research works shown that steel bars in the crack cross-section area can be corrode. With increasing width of crack in re-bars and power of aggressive of environment increased the level of corrosion and decreased time of progress. The level of danger of corrosion in the crack in depend of specialty of steel bars. It is geometry parameters of steel bars and characteristic of corrosive behaviour. The general tendency of the influence of various defects on the strength of steels is widely studied experimentally and theoretically only for geometrically correct stress concentrators. For damages that are irregular in shape, such as corrosion ulcers, significantly less researching in each case must experiment to find their effect on the mechanical properties of steels. In this work the influence of simultaneous action of the aggressive environment and loading on strength of steel re-bars has been described.

The soaring cases of coronavirus pandemic coupled with unpredictable climatic variations posed danger to human lives and food security. This work examined “Relationship between climate change and food security in sub-Saharan Africa.” Using the Generalized Method of Moments technique with preliminary diagnostic tests on panel data across the 17 sub-Sahara African countries, the dependent variable is agricultural output, while the independent variables are temperature, rainfall, government expenditure on agriculture, inflation, exchange rate, gross fixed capital formation, and labor force. The findings revealed that climate change exerts negative impact on food security through temperature variations which degenerated during the period under review. The results also showed positive significant impact of government expenditure which increased during the period. The work recommended that government should embark on massive productive investments to reinvigorate and re-engineer the economy. The government and appropriate agencies should also put in place hybrid technology of high yield crops adaptive to change in climate as well as effective mechanism for food storage to secure food for the future.

Abstract Female involvement in the juvenile justice system has steadily increased in the United States over the past three decades. During this time, as male arrests have declined, female arrests have increased. Although many social workers have responded to these trends with a national call to identify and address the unique needs of these girls, we lack much high-quality research, including empirically supported interventions or programming to serve the needs of female youths involved in the justice system. This article provides a summary of the extant research that helps document the unique needs of these female youths and national policy efforts and practice considerations for social work practitioners. These needs and policy initiatives offer important opportunities for social workers to conduct research to improve the understanding of this population and also ways in which to provide services that address these youths’ complex needs. The article concludes that these female youths—most of whom are not a danger to society—need services instead of involvement in the justice system.

The research was carried out in order to determine the optimal time for sowing winter wheat according to various predecessors in the changing climate of Volga forest-steppe. The work was carried out in 2013–2019 in Ulyanovsk region on heavy loamy leached chernozem using conventional techniques. The experimental scheme provided for the study of two predecessors (peas and pure fallow) of winter soft wheat of Marafon variety, sown at 6 sowing dates with an interval of 10 days (from August 20 to October 10). The seeding rate for pure fallow is 5.0 million viable seeds per hectare, for peas - 5.5 million viable seeds per hectare. Average annual air temperature for 1961–2018 increased by 1.8°С. Its most significant increase was noted in the last twenty-five year period of time in the winter months. The increase in the frequency of extremely warm winters and temperature variability in the winter period significantly changed the conditions for overwintering winter crops. The danger of the development of wintering weeds, damping diseases, and soaking of winter crops has increased, and the conditions for overwintering pests have improved. It is possible to mitigate the danger of the natural and climatic vulnerability of crops during the wintering period by observing the optimal sowing dates, which should be postponed to a later period (7 ... 12 days), compared with the previously recommended ones. The optimal sowing period for winter wheat in Ulyanovsk region is from August 30 to September 10. Earlier crops are more intensively affected by diseases (powdery mildew and brown rust), and later crops, which have left in the winter in the germination phase, form a low density, form a small ear and provide low productivity or completely die

The problem of deterioration of marble or stone monuments on display in the open air was raised in scientific terms around the mid-nineteenth century, correctly sensing the close dependence between the increased speed of surfaces alteration and air pollution. However, only more recently, around the years 1980–1990, emerged a need for quantitative data to assess the degree of degradation and the relative danger in the future projections. Non-destructive techniques can be an important aid in assessing the state of degradation and, above all, its speed, directly on the most important monuments exposed to the urban environment. In this work we discuss some non-destructive techniques able to evaluate the alteration of the surface shape of artefacts exposed to the environment through a non-contact survey of their surface shape. Advantages and disadvantages will be highlighted, as well as the problems still open.

The duration of the periods of risk to the health of the population of the influence of cold in combination with wind in the territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory was assessed according to the integral indicator of the conditions of the body’s cooling (IPOOO). Health risk based on average monthly temperatures and wind in the subarctic (No. 1) zone 8 months. (two critical, 6 moderate), territories No. 2 (Krasnoyarsk) and No. 3 (Minusinsk) — 6 and 5 months. (moderate). When analyzed by Q25-Q75 intervals, the duration of the risk periods increased by 1–2 months. In the first territory, the risk of critical cooling of the body increased by 1 month; the rest are moderate. At the minimum temperature and maximum wind in the subarctic zone, the period of critical risk of cooling the body is 5 months, catastrophic — 2. In the region of Krasnoyarsk 2–3 months, Minusinsk 3 months. the risk is critical. Determination of the IPUOO based on the data of average monthly temperatures and wind speed does not allow to fully determine the risk of cold influence; analysis by indicators of ranges of 25 and 75 quartiles in the conditions of three territories of the Krasnoyarsk Territory indicates its presence within 1–2 months, and also indicates a more significant degree of risk. In conditions of minimum temperatures and maximum wind, the period of risk of cold influence lengthens to 9–10 months a year, the nature of the degree of risk increases significantly, including critical and catastrophic. This must be taken into account when determining the length of time for safe work in an open area. With extreme indicators of the state of physical factors in an open area, the «contribution» to the value of the IPOOO wind speed increases more significantly: the minimum temperature is 1.2–1.3 times, the maximum wind is 3.1–5.1 times.

It is important to give the husbands of pregnant women, as decision makers in the family, health education about the danger signs in pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. Methods of brainstorming and buzz group on health education are able to stimulate the active role of participants of a discussion, so they accept the information given to them more easily.
This was a Quasi Experimental Study with Non Randomized Pretest-Posttest design. Population in this study consisted of the husbands whose wife was pregnant and lived in the work area of Sukamakmur Puskesmas (Community Health Center) in Bogor District. Accidental sampling method was used and it involved two groups, namely brainstorming group consisting of 63 respondents and buzz group consisting of 61 respondents. Statistical analysis used Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.
The results showed that the respondents knowledge was improved immediately after the health education had been given (p <0.001). The results of Mann-Whitney test described that the increased median value of knowledge of the respondents in buzz group was better than that in brainstorming group. The conclusion shows that Buzz group has better impacts on the increased median value of the respondents’ knowledge.

Increasing life expectancy offers the potential benefit of additional years of productivity and engagement to both individuals and society as a whole. However, it also carries substantial risks. For many, advanced age brings increased disease and disability (including cognitive impairment), financial insecurity, and social isolation. These risks are greatest for those with the least education and financial resources. An aging society must cope with increasing demands for high-quality geriatric care, mounting stresses on social insurance programs (such as Social Security and Medicare in the United States), and the increasing danger that the growing gap between the haves and have-nots will threaten societal cohesion. These risks can be mitigated or aggravated by the lifestyle and savings behavior of individuals, families, employers, and the government. We present policy options in the areas of education, work and retirement, financial security, health care, and social cohesion that can promote the benefits and reduce the risks of longer life.

This paper deals with the evaluation of risks in the production process. The possible hazards were determined in the production of plastic windows and security measures were proposed. The level of risk were evaluated by using the extended point method, where were defined the probability and consequence of events as well as the opinion of the evaluator. The level of the risk is calculated as the multiplication of these three parameters and is classified into categories: Negligible, moderate, precarious, Adverse and unacceptable. The levels of hazard and safety measures are defined for employees for the manual handling of loads. The highest level of the risk (precarious) was achieved in danger of spine injury, where the risk cannot be accepted without protective measures. Other monitored threats (overload, wrick, fall of the load etc.) are classified in negligible risk or moderate risk that is acceptable or acceptable in increased attention. By compliance of suggested precautions it is possible to achieve the minimization of health threats of employees at work.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Nurses and midwives are currently facing new challenges at work related to the epidemiological situation caused by the occurrence of a new SARS-CoV-2 pathogen. An immediate concern during the pandemic is a complete shortage of publications or research concerning safety procedures for the medical staff. Aim of the study: The aim of the study was to examine the factors affecting work safety for nursing and midwifery teams, to raise awareness about those risks, and gain the knowledge to minimize occupational risk in the pandemic era. Material and methods: The research group consisted of 550 professionally active nurses and midwives who were interviewed with the use of surveys. The author’s survey questionnaire contained 33 questions, including 13 open and 20 closed ones. Results: The medical staff usually felt safe at work 73.8% of the time (406); however, 7.5% (41) of the respondents always declared that positive feeling. The sense of safety at work in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic decreased to 82.5% (454). Occupational and epidemiological training was attended by 73.45% (404) of the staff. However, only 57.6% (317) of them were instructed on how to proceed with a patient suspected of having a COVID-19 infection, while 42.40% (233) were not. The respondents who did not take part in the training felt less secure more frequently (p<0.05) than the trained ones. The respondents who were provided with increased accessibility to the personal protective equipment (PPE), rarely experienced a decrease in their sense of safety at work. Conclusions: The sense of safety at work among medical staff undoubtedly depends on regular training on health and safety measures during epidemiological crises. Participation in training sessions about the procedures connected with COVID-19 endangerment significantly increases the sense of safety at work. Guaranteeing the accessibility of PPE daily also substantially influences the feeling of security among the active medical staff who face increased danger from COVID-19 transmission.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the dialogical foundations of a person’s personal self-identity in the space of culture on the example of N. M. Bakhtin. The relevance of the work is associated with the increased relevance of the experience of live dialogue, which in modern information reality, on the one hand, appears as an opportunity for unprecedented self-expression and a space for communication and exchange of meanings, on the other hand, as a real danger of drowning in the cacaphony of discord and loss of oneself. The purpose of the work is through a hermeneutic reading of the works of N.M. Bakhtin, to show that through dialogue a person’s personal identity is formed, through existential questioning: «Who am I?». The authors use a hermeneutic approach to reading the philosophical works of N. M. Bakhtin, as well as a comparative analysis of his ideas and those of the leading philosophers of our time. However, the authors of the article not only analyze the similarity of N.M. Bakhtin with the main philosophies of postmodernism, but also insist on the pragmatic value of his works in themselves. The authors come to the conclusion that the dialogues of Nikolai Mikhailovich Bakhtin are a wonderful example of the experience of dialogue, which takes on an existential dimension, addressing the very essence of human existence. Nikolai Bakhtin appears as a thinker striving for a living experience of philosophy, trying to find a way to a genuine person who collects and shapes himself into a simple and integral unity in the space of the true culture of a hierarchically ordered cosmos. Thanks to this, the tension of the dialogue keeps the vivid sounding of the word, ready to turn into a deed, and does not allow the voices of the interlocutors to fall into monologue one-sidedness, degenerate into artificial schemes that disidentify and enslave a person’s personal integrity.

Purpose Physical security has remained an important reason for, and the consequence of, societal living. In recent times, the threat potential and the risks of loss and damage due to criminal activities have increased substantially. In Indian Railways, it is being increasingly felt that efficient security management is inevitable for the development and sustainability of desired state of affairs. The purpose of this paper is to address the broad goal of achieving optimal strategies for minimizing security threats to Indian Railway Security System (IRSS). Design/methodology/approach The authors use two forecasting techniques, namely, Delphi technique and Harva method, whose joint approach allows the authors to use both quantifiable (Delphi technique) and linguistic (Harva method) data. The choice of the two approaches provides a multi-method approach to the research problem. Findings Predicted trend toward the expected scenario in 2020 has more or less matched with the actual developments for improvement in security scenario of Indian Railways. The positive indications are that there is an improving trend, which is expected to lead to a much better state of affairs with certain inputs. Research limitations/implications The joint approach of Delphi technique and Harva method is a multi-method example of original research work in the railway security, which can also be implemented in other security settings, such as aviation or marine security. A replication of the exercise closer to the target date will throw light on the exact state of affairs in the area of railway security in India. Practical implications An outcome in consonance with the present exercise has been the implementation of the policy developed on the basis of the forecasts. Policy efforts initiated in the recent past have been consistent with the features discussed in the study. From the above indicators, it can be inferred that some of the policy initiatives taken are in line with the trend status as predicted by the Delphi exercise. Social implications Security has been considered as an important reason, as well as a consequence, of living in a society. It has been perceived as the condition of being protected against danger or loss, and also refers to the freedom from exposure to danger (protection), implying a feeling of assurance against danger. Research work in this area, thus, has strong social welfare implications. This is particularly so as the area of security gained importance, not only in India, but also across the world. Originality/value The present study is the first of its kind in the area of railway security using systems approach. The approach used is quite generic and can also be implemented in other security settings, such as aviation or marine security.

Full textAbstract:
The field of construction is one of the most traumatic areas of human activity. Various methods are used to reduce injuries and increase the safety level at construction sites, which do not allow to reduce the level of injury risk. In other industries characterized by heightened danger, the risk management methodology based on the “human factor” management is gaining popularity. By attracting the most relevant workers, we can compensate for a significant portion of the risks. The authors propose the use this concept in the field of construction. In this paper, a study of professional fitness in construction during work requiring an increased level of attention and reaction under the influence of noise factor was conducted. For this purpose, testing was per-formed to identify the dependencies between the external effects of noise and attention indicators. During the testing the subjects demonstrated various concentration abilities. We concluded that, using this methodology, it is possible to select “successfully fit” personnel to perform specific tasks in construction, in order to increase the level of safety.

Toy guns with projectiles may injure young children. A study was undertaken to assess the danger posed by these toys and the regulations governing them. Us Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) data indicate that toy guns with projectiles cause relatively few injuries, mostly to young boys. The magnitude of the problem is smaller than that of nonpowder and powder firearms. Most often, toy gun injuries are to the face and eyes. Of the estimated 818 injuries in 1980 and 1981, 2.9% required hospitalization. More than 400 days were lost from school and work, and there were nearly 3,000 days of restricted activity due to these toy gun injuries. The hazard posed by toy guns with projectiles can be reduced through the legitimate regulatory authority of the Consumer Product Safety Commission with minor impact on retail cost, toy industry sales, and the play value of the toys. The yearly cost to consumers from increased regulation would probably be similar to the annual cost of the injuries. Regulation is warranted to protect young children who use these toys.

The high population in Indonesia has an impact on increasing the mobility of the population in work and activities, which is followed by the increased transportation facilities needed by the community. One of the negative effects of the increasing number of vehicles is the danger of exhaust emissions. One way to minimize the danger of exhaust gases is to regulate the mixture of air and fuel on the gasoline engine. In Yamaha injection motors there is a CO setting technology, this technology will have an impact on fuel use. The standard CO on a Yamaha motorbike is 0 and can be added or reduced (±) until it reaches 30. Increasing CO one strip will cause the fuel sprayed by the injector to be reduced by 0.05 cc. Examination of exhaust gas emissions is carried out using the Qrotect 401 Engine Gas Analyzer which is capable of measuring CO2, O2, CO, HC and Lamda. Based on the test results show that the lowest exhaust emissions are produced by the vehicle at 2500 rpm and in CO-30 mode settings, namely CO gas emissions of 0.49%. So we can conclude that the lowest exhaust gas emissions are produced by the vehicle at rpm 2500 with CO-30 settings. In addition to co mode settings, variations in engine rpm also affect exhaust emissions. In different modes but with different rpm the results will also be different. In the CO 10 mode setting with rpm 1400 CO gas emission is produced at 2.102 while at 2500 rpm is produced 0.821. So at rpm 2500 produced exhaust emissions lower than rpm 1400. There is a significant effect between CO mode settings and engine rpm on motorcycle exhaust emissions.

The hydrolysis of last resort carbapenem antibiotics by Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2 (KPC-2) presents a significant danger to global health. Combined with horizontal gene transfer, the emergence KPC-2 threatens to quickly expand carbapenemase activity to ever increasing numbers of pathogens. Our understanding of KPC-2 has greatly increased over the past decade thanks, in great part, to 20 crystal structures solved by groups around the world. These include apo KPC-2 structures, along with structures featuring a library of 10 different inhibitors representing diverse structural and functional classes. Herein we focus on cataloging the available KPC-2 structures and presenting a discussion of key aspects of each structure and important relationships between structures. Although the available structures do not provide information on dynamic motions with KPC-2, and the family of structures indicates small conformational changes across a wide array of bound inhibitors, substrates, and products, the structures provide a strong foundation for additional studies in the coming years to discover new KPC-2 inhibitors. Impact statement The work herein is important to the field as it provides a clear and succinct accounting of available KPC-2 structures. The work advances the field by collecting and analyzing differences and similarities across the available structures. This work features new analyses and interpretations of the existing structures which will impact the field in a positive way by making structural insights more widely available among the beta-lactamase community.

With long-term human activity, many factors begin to make a significant influence on fatigue and reduced concentration. The question is even more urgent when it comes to drivers and operators of road construction and agricultural machinery. Work on these modes of transport involves increased danger and additional responsibility for life and health of people. Along with such parameters as ergonomics and optimization of the work and rest regime, the optimal values of the microclimate parameters in the driver's area or the operator of transport equipment play an important role. The microclimate parameters include: pressure, oxygen concentration in air, temperature and humidity. And if there is no need to regulate the oxygen content and pressure in land transport, in contrast to aircraft, and the temperature is regulated by the air conditioning systems of the car, the humidity parameters are not given proper attention. In the conditions of road transport and construction equipment, in areas of low humidity or increased dust generation, a low level of moisture content in conditioned air begins to play a key role in the increased fatigue and the development of drivers chronic diseases. This can be fraught with both a decline in efficiency and economic losses, and the creation of additional dangerous situations for life and health of people. The article discusses and compares the main methods of moisture saturation of dry air, and assesses the acceptability of their implementation in road transport, and conducts typical estimated calculations of changes in system parameters from load conditions. The peculiarities of the application of air humidification in air conditioning systems for ground and air transport are given, a generalized assessment of the methods of moistening, their advantages and disadvantages is made, the most optimal methods of humidifying air are revealed from the point of view of transport technology. For the calculations, the software complex MathCAD was used.

"High environmental salinity induces memory enhancement and increases levels of brain angiotensin-like peptides in the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus." Journal of Experimental Biology 203, no. 22 (November 15, 2000): 3369–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.1242/jeb.203.22.3369.
Full textAbstract:
Previous work on the brackish-water crab Chasmagnathus granulatus demonstrated that an endogenous peptide similar to angiotensin II plays a significant role in enhancing long-term memory that involves an association between context and an iterative danger stimulus (context-signal memory). The present results show that this memory enhancement could be produced by moving crabs from brackish water to sea water (33.0%) and keeping them there for at least 4 days. The possibility that such a facilitatory effect is due to osmotic stress is ruled out. Coincidentally, the level of angiotensin-II-like peptides in crab brain, measured by radioimmunoassay, increases with the length of exposure to sea water, reaching a significantly different level at the fourth day. The presence of angiotensin-II-like immunoreactive material in neural structures of the supraoesophageal and eyestalk ganglia was confirmed by immunohistochemical analysis. The results are interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that exposure to water of high salinity is an external cue triggering a process mediated by angiotensins that leads to enhanced memory in these crabs.

Full textAbstract:
No Christian mission was pursued among the Norse in Iceland before the latter part of the tenth century, and the ruling body of the Church took no part in this work. In the beginning, missionary activity was the private initiative of an Icelander, and the concluding chapter was supported by the Norwegian crown. Christian influence increased steadily then during this heathen period. The greatest hindrance to the propagation of Christianity among the Icelandic chieftains during the tenth century was undoubtedly the fact that Christians were denied seats in the legislative assembly; therefore it was not easy for the sons of the chieftains to be converted. Although pagans enjoyed a majority at the Althing in the year 1000, the Christians had increased their numbers. There was great danger of war in the land if agreement were not reached at the assembly. The choice consequently was either to reach an agreement or have a civil war, which would have led to the abrogation of the legal political and power structure. Older and peaceable chieftains wanted above all to protect the peace and they consequently accepted baptism and professed Christianity. This indicates that Christianity has had a great influence on Icelandic national life. The Christian conversion at the Althing in the year 1000 was, thus, both a religious and a political decision.

Abstract In relation to EU countries, the level of safety on Polish waters is still low. The drowning rate in our country is two times higher. Since 2013, there has even been an increase in the number of drownings. Typically, following each incident, attention is focused on the quality of work of the rescue services, however, there are multiple factors to be considered when seeking where responsibility for this state of affairs actually lies. In contemplations, the main subjects of analysis were external threats (atmospheric conditions, legal conditions, trends in water recreation) and threats generated by various groups of waterrelated subjects (administrators, service providers, rescuers, cleaning and medical services, participants enjoying recreation on or in the water). The purpose of this article is to present the issues of water safety from the perspective of the responsibility of various subjects, which are active in this environment. The attractiveness of recreation in or on water results largely from the emotions caused by increased risk. Often the greater the danger, the greater the attraction. At the same time, it is accompanied by an increased sense of security, excessive self-confidence and excessive trust, which weakens the natural defense mechanism. Hence, so many accidents in the water are caused by the victims themselves. In the article we are looking for an answer to the question about the reasons for such a phenomenon.

AbstractThe nature of gas-geodynamic phenomena is so complicated and unpredictable that it forces the necessity of continuous search for new principles of identifying the outburst threat and ongoing monitoring of this threat with view of current conditions in the mine. After the incidents in JSW S.A, the mines carrying out works in seams threatened with outbursts, upon their own initiative introduced additional rigours and increased the frequency of measurements and tests regardless of the existing legal requirements. Incidents that have taken place in KWK “Budryk” in recent years show how important is continuous verification of knowledge related to the forecasting of the outburst threat on the basis of ongoing observations of works. The local occurrence of a zone characterized by high methane-bearing capacity in the coal seam, even after taking preventive measures and introducing additional rigorous did not allow for the complete elimination of gas-geodynamic phenomena and avoidance of danger to employed people.

[abstFig src='/00280002/09.jpg' width=""300"" text='ASTERISK use our proposed method to walk' ]Since the industrial age began, increasing numbers of manufacturing plants have been set up to serve economic growth demand. More bridges were built simultaneously to connect cities and to make transportation more convenient. As these facilities have aged, regular maintenance has increased. The limb mechanism project we started almost 20 years ago was to deliver new types of inspection and maintenance to industrial fields. Our first prototype, a six-limb robot called Asterisk, included such capabilities as walking on ceilings, climbing and descending stairs and ladders, walking tightropes, and transversing rough terrain. Asterisk's latest version uses electromagnets to work in antigravity environments such as steel structures. Unfortunately, this presented a major danger, requiring that we replace electromagnets with electropermanent magnets (EPMs). Limitations on EPMs, however, required a new control strategy. We propose and compare three control methods -- open-loop control, closed-loop control using torque feedback, and closed-loop control using angle feedback -- in the sections that follow. Our objective is to determine the best control for inspection robots having electropermanent magnets but not using additional sensors.
