Workstyle Intervention for the Prevention of Work-Related Upper Extremity Problems: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract : Workstyle is a description of how people perform their work and is proposed as a mechanism by which ergonomic and psychosocial stressors in the workplace interact with the individual's cognitive and behavioral responses to work demands, which place a worker at risk for the development and/or exacerbation of work-related upper extremity symptoms and disorders (WRUES/Ds). Recent investigations have shown that multicomponent interventions (i.e., ergonomic redesign and individual stress management) show promise for increasing the effectiveness and durability of intervention benefits. Therefore, inclusion of workstyle-related interventions into workplace WRUED prevention (primary and secondary) programs may result in better overall treatment gains because a focus on workstyle may simultaneously address multiple risk factors for WRUEDs. This study compared treatment outcomes for interventions combining workstyle and ergonomic modification at the workplace compared to addressing workstyle or ergonomic management alone. Symptomatic workers were recruited to participate in one of the three intervention conditions or in a wait-list control condition, where measures of ergonomic risk, psychosocial stress, workstyle response, and symptom status were collected at baseline, post-treatment, and at a 3-month follow-up period. Results indicated that although all groups improved over time, no intervention produced outcomes superior to the control group. The results suggest that future interventions should be more intensive to produce significant and lasting improvements.
Mutagenesis and Screening of High Yield Xylanase Production Strain of Aspergillus usamii by Microwave Irradiation

A high yield xylanase producing strain, A. usamii L336-23, was screened out from its parent strain A.usamii L336 after microwave irradiation. Its productivity of xylanase activity increased by 35.7% from 21000μu·ml-1 to 28500μu·ml-1 and was stable after frequent subcultures and storage for more than two months. The mechanism of microwave mutation was also discussed.
Effect of muscle action, load and velocity variation on the bilateral neuromuscular response

The purpose of this study was to assess the neuromuscular asymmetry of the medial and lateral gastrocnemius (MG, LG) and soleus (SOL) of the dominant and non-dominant limbs during different muscle actions via electromyography (EMG). Fifteen active male participants completed isometric and isotonic (maximum, submaximum, bodyweight), isokinetic (1.05 rad·s-1, 1.31 rad·s-1, and 1.83 rad·s-1), squat jump, and 20 m sprint conditions on the same day. Bilateral asymmetry was only observed in the isokinetic (6.8% to 10.8%) and the squat jump (6.0% to 15.5%) conditions for the SOL, MG, and LG (P≤0.05). No relationship was found between magnitude of bilateral asymmetry and load levels. Isometric max (0.4% to 4.2%) and isometric bodyweight conditions (0.6% to 4.2%) showed the lowest bilateral asymmetry ranges across all muscles. Understanding of bilateral asymmetry induced by different muscle actions is important to prevent muscle imbalance and to understand the potential mechanisms of muscular recruitment in tasks.

Attitudes of esl students toward the use of computer-assisted language learning (call) in a university in china

With the development of educational technology, it is important to determine ESL students attitudes toward the effectiveness of technology used in the ESL classes in a university in Central Eastern China. Students' attitudes can reflect the reality of utilization of computer technology-based ESL courses. The findings can help educators to effectively use computer technology. This study utilized two instruments: A demographic survey and a separate Scale of Attitudes toward Computer-Assisted Language Learning (SACALL). The research questionnaires were administered to 208 participants. Statistical methods including t-tests, correlation coefficient tests, and a one-way ANOVA were used to analyze the data. The study findings indicate that Chinese ESL learners had positive attitudes toward CALL. The t-test findings showed that female ESL learners in the university had more positive attitudes toward CALL than their male counterparts. The t-test also found that undergraduate learners had more positive attitudes toward CALL than did graduate learners. The ANOVA findings confirmed that students expressed different attitudes toward CALL based on the previous number of CALL courses taken and the frequency of the students' computer usage. The results of the Pearson's r correlation indicated that five out of six correlations were statistically significant among the following variables: (a) students' perceived abilities in computer use, (b) students' number of CALL-based ESL courses, (c) students' frequency of computer usage, and (d) students' attitudes toward CALL. In the ESL field, this study found that students' attitudes toward CALL were a key factor for predicting the success of computer assisted learning. The findings of this study should be useful for both administrators and faculty who use CALL in their ESL courses.

Injury prevention in Queensland : report to Queensland Injury Prevention Council

Injury is the fourth leading cause of death in Australia. Injury rates in Queensland are amongst the highest in Australia and 21.5% of people surveyed for this research reported that their lifestyle or that of an immediate family member had been permanently affected by injury. Injury results in over 40,000 hospital admissions and 200,000 attendances at hospital Emergency Departments in Queensland each year. Queensland's death rate from injuries is higher than the national average, with consistently higher rates of deaths related to transport injuries. Queensland statistics also show higher than national average rates of injuries due to falls, homicide and accidental drowning. (Pike, Muller, Baade & Ward, 2000) In 2000-01 injuries represented over $4 billion (or 8%) of total health system expenditure, and 185,000 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs), or 7% of the total morbidity burden of disease and injury in Australia in 2003. (Begg, Vos, Barker, Stevenson, Stanley & Lopez, 2007). Injury is one of seven key health areas identified by the Commonwealth, state and territory governments for priority attention as National Health Priority Areas
Analyses and evaluation of the behaviour of recycled aggregate and recycled concrete

The obtained results about the present research of the recycled aggregate and recycled concrete were analyzed and the basic behaviour was summarized in this article. It was found that apparent density and stacking density are between 2.31-2.62(kg/m3)and 1.29-1.47(kg/m3), water absorption is 4%-10%, crush index is 14.2%-23.1%. The compressive strength of recycled concrete reduces with the increase of recycled aggregate substituting ratio and water/cement ratio. Its tensile strength was less affected by substituting ratio. With the increase of recycled aggregate substituting ratio, the slump of recycled concrete rapidly reduce, its elastic model reduce, its shrinkage markedly increase, its frost resistance is less infected, its permeability increase, its carbonization speed slightly increase, its sulphate resistance slightly reduce. Based on the previous experiments from large amount of investigation, the calculation formulas of compressive strength and elasticity modulus were proposed. And the application of recycled concrete was discussed in the end.
Invasive Versus Noninvasive Techniques for Diagnosing Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia

For the last two decades, a more discriminative diagnostic approach for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been the aim of extensive studies that have frequently yielded very different results. Enthusiasm has been shown for the diagnostic capacities of the protected-specimen brush and bronchoalveolar lavage performed under bronchoscopic guidance. More recently, some authors have demonstrated a comparable reliability for noninvasive diagnostic procedures. All of this has been rife with discrepancies and contradictory results, which have added to the confusion in this field. One of the reasons for this confusion is the lack of a representative gold standard. This has brought about studies that use histologic and postmortem microbiologic findings as a reference standard to compare results. This pattern, however, introducesobviousbiases thathavenotdispelledalldoubts.Theimpact of different diagnostic strategies on the outcome of severe pneumonia has been surprisingly overlooked until recently. Here again there are controversies that are probably the reflection of different epidemiologic situations and populations studied. The diagnostic strategy may not be the major determinant of outcome for patients with suspected VAP but, rather, whether adequate therapy is given as soon as VAP is clinically diagnosed. To increase the rate of appropriate initial antibiotic therapy, we suggest customizing guidelines according to local epidemiology and resistance patterns.
The role of platelets and their associated recruitment mechanisms, in intestinal ischaemia reperfusion injury

Recent studies have demonstrated a key role for platelets and microthrombi in the pathophysiology of intestinal ischaemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. The research described in this thesis investigates the role of the major platelet glycoprotein receptors in recruiting and activating platelets following intestinal IR injury, namely GPVI, GPIb-IX-V and the integrins IIb3 and 21. Intravital microscopy was utilised to monitor individual platelet adhesion and microthrombus formation in anaesthetised mice undergoing intestinal IR injury \(in\) \(vivo\) using a novel dual labelling methodology. This study focussed on the microcirculation of the mucosal villi as this luminal surface is most susceptible to IR injury. We demonstrate that it was necessary to inhibit both microthrombus formation as well as platelet-leukocyte-endothelial interactions in order to ensure longer lasting improvement in gut microcirculation and histology. This was achieved through a dual therapy that targeted both GPIb and P-selectin. The strongest anti-platelet effect was observed with blocking the IIb3 integrin, but this was also associated with a sustained bleeding from the mucosal surface. Overall, the research within this thesis suggests that therapeutic strategies targeting GPIb and P-selectin may prove beneficial in improving the clinical morbidity associated with gut IR injury.
Analysis on Overall Stability of Stainless Steel Beams with Welded I-Section

In order to obtain information on the lateral buckling strength of stainless steel I-beams to formulate the relevant sections of the Chinese stainless steel design specifications,this paper focuses on the overall buck-ling of laterally-unrestrained stainless steel I-beams.The design methods in current codes are discussed,and the results from these codes are compared with the finite element analysis(FEA) results.The influence from the material property on the overall stability of stainless steel beams is also investigated.Based on the FEA results,the design method on overall buckling strength of steel beams specified in the Chinese standard GB 50017-2003 is modified to calibrate the overall stability of stainless steel bending members with welded I-section.Through the comparison with EC3: 1993-1-4 and the FEA results,the proposed formulae in this paper are proved to be applicable in the design of overall stability of stainless steel bending members.
Rational Selection of Antimicrobials for Use in Horses

Antibiotics frequently play an important central or adjunctive role in the therapeutic management of horses and foals with a variety of illnesses, including those requiring critical care, because diseases caused by primary or secondary bacterial infection are commonly encountered and may contribute to failure of single or multiple organs. However, it should be understood that supportive therapy usually plays a role at least as important as antimicrobials in promoting a positive outcome, and that the adverse effects of antimicrobial drugs individually or in combination may actually lead to negative consequences. Antibiotic use should be based on sound rational principles involving thorough patient evaluation, good clinical judgment, overall medical knowledge, information regarding the individual patient and the infecting agent(s), selection of an appropriate drug, and formulation of a dosage regimen appropriate to the patient and its caretaker after assessment of the potential benefits and risks of that
DONOR PROFILE AND BLOOD SAFETY: COMPARISON BETWEEN FIXED (INSTITUTE) AND MOBILE SITE (CAMP) BLOOD COLLECTIONS -

Background: The importance of blood safety in public health was recognized long ago and data are essential to plan strategies to improve its status. Ability to ensure an adequate blood supply depends on knowing and understanding donor demographics and characteristics and their impact on collections. Objectives: To explore and compare the demographic profile and seropositivity among donors donating whole blood at fixed and mobile donation sites. Methods: The information of all the donors registered and donated blood was collected from the donor registration forms. Serological results of the donors were obtained from the Transfusion Transmitted Disease Screening division of the department. Data were entered into Microsoft excel sheet and results analyzed on SPSS software version 10. Results: In fixed site female donors contributed for about 1% of donations while at the mobile site their participation attributed to 18% of donations. Seropositivity was slightly higher among donors at fixed site (HBV-2.5%, HIV-1.1%) when compared to donors at the mobile site (HBV-1.8%, HIV0.6%). The vasovagal reactions among donors were around 4% in fixed site and around 3% at mobile
Beyond ‘transnationalism’: Mexican hometown politics at an American labour union

Abstract The controversial notion of “transnationalism” has generated new insights into international migrants’ on-going ties with their communities of origin, but its problematic conceptualization and vague usage in empirical studies needlessly inhibit the transnational perspective’s utility. Understanding the political and economic incorporation of migrants in both their communities of origin and destination is facilitated by disaggregating the types of political borders, types of nationalism, and levels of identification that have been conflated in the framework of “transnationalism”. I demonstrate the analytic value of these distinctions by using them to interpret evidence from a six-month ethnographic case study of an immigrant labour union in Southern California. A theoretically coherent typology applicable to both the case study and other migration settings provides a framework for explaining how institutions assimilate migrants into U.S. and local politics while simultaneously promoting cross-border ties.
Non equilibrium thermal and electrical transport coefficients for hot metals

This work is focused on the discussion about the transport coefficients for non equilibrium hot metals. First, we review the role of the non equilibrium Kappa distribution, [1], in which The Kappa parameter varies with the temperature [1, 2]. A brief discussion compares such distribution with the classical non equilibrium function used in metals. Later, we show the derivation of the generalized electrical conductivity [3]. Also, it is shown the connection between the melting point of the metal and a material-dependent coefficient which can be extracted by analyzing its thermionic emission[3]. We extend previous studies by analyzing additional metals used as thermionic emitters. Finally, in the light of the Wiedemann-Franz Law, we present a new generalized thermal conductivity, which is also analyzed.
CHEMICAL, RHEOLOGICAL AND SENSORY PROPERTIES OF WHEAT- OAT FLOUR COMPOSITE CAKES AND BISCUITS

The effect of using Oat flour to improve the functional properties of cake and biscuit was explored. Oat flour in the cake and biscuit formulation was replaced at four levels, 25, 50, 75 and 100% with whole meal wheat flour(wmwf). Biscuit and cake containing only whole meal wheat flour was used as control. Raw materials, prepared cake and biscuits were analyzed for their proximate composition, baking quality of cake (weight, volume, specific volume) and biscuit(diameter, thickness, spread ratio, weight, volume, specific volume), color, texture, stalling and sensory evaluation. Rheological properties of mixed oat flour with whole meal wheat flour were studied. Results revealed that, the chemical composition of oat flour and whole meal wheat flour resulted in a significant increase in fibre and ash contents and a decrease in protein and carbohydrate content compared to whole meal wheat flour. Farino graph parameters showed that water absorption, dough weakening and arrival time increased as Oat Flour level increased in the blends. While dough stability and mixing tolerance index were decreased by adding Oat flour to whole meal wheat flour at all levels replacement. The adding of Oat flour to Whole meal wheat flour led to increased of transmission temperature, temperature of peak viscosity and peak viscosity. Cake weight produced from Whole meal wheat flour with oat flour were lower than compared to control, while, its volume and specific volume of cake produced from Whole meal wheat flour with oat flour was increased as the level of oat flour increased in cake. Cake produced from Whole meal wheat flour withoat flour at different levels (25, 50, 75 and 100%) caused a noticeable decrease in alkaline water retention capacity values compared with control at the same storage period. Results also showed that Hunter color parameters (L*, a*andb*) of biscuits and cakes were lightness were increased as mixing level of oat flour increased. This result was confirmed with the obtained sensorial results. Moreover, sensory evaluation of biscuits and showed that all samples were acceptable, but sample which contained oat flour had superior sensory characteristics, nutritional value and was suitable for Diabetic and Obesity.
Biomechanical Behavior of Tooth-Supported Fixed Partial Prostheses Components with Two Different Infrastructures: Metal and Polyether Ether Ketone (Peek).

This study uses the finite element method to assess the biomechanical behavior of tooth-supported fixed partial prostheses components manufactured with two different infrastructures: Cr-Co Fit Flex metallic alloy and Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) subjected to physiological occlusal loads. Two models with equal geometry were simulated-Model M1: fixed partial prosthesis with Cr-Co metallic infrastructure and feldspar ceramics coating Noritake Ex-3; Model M2: fixed partial prosthesis with PEEK infrastructure PEEK and indirect resin coating Sinfony. They were subjected to axial and oblique loads. The 3D models were entered in the software CAD Solidworks 2016 for registry and analysis. Data were analyzed according to the studied factors: dentin behavior, infrastructure, aesthetic coating, detachment pressure between tooth and cement, and tensile stress of cement. Most stress peaks were observed in model M2, but values from the two models were close. Model M1 showed better results in four of the factors: dentin, infrastructure, detachment pressure between tooth and cement, and cement tensile stress. Model M2 showed better performance in terms of the aesthetic coating. Similar values for both models in most of the simulations suggest a long lifespan of both treatments, although longer for model M1.
