Assessment of knowledge, practices, and work place condition related to ergonomics among dental students of Bhopal city - A questionnaire study

Background: Dental profession is susceptible to various postural and nonpostural occupational risks. Aim : To determine knowledge, practice, and condition of work place regarding ergonomic posture among dental students from Bhopal city, Central India. Also to observe any correlation among knowledge, practice, and condition of work place scores. Materials and Methods : A self-administered questionnaire study was conducted among 231 dental students. The questionnaire consisted of three parts: Knowledge, practice, and condition of work place. Analysis of variance was used to compare mean of knowledge, practice of clinical posture, and condition of work place. Pearson's correlation coefficient has been applied to compute correlation among knowledge, practice, and condition of work place scores. A P value < 0.05 was considered significant for all statistical analyses. Results : We found that 70% of dental students perform torsion of the body and cervical flexion to improve vision and prefer direct vision when working. Only 59% reported that they are working with ergonomically designed dental unit and instruments. Most of them reported that the work stool is not comfortable. Mean knowledge, practice, and condition of work place scores were 3.93 (1.26), 5.01 (1.58), and 2.60 (1.14), respectively. Significant differences between the groups were noted for means of practice scores (P ≤ 0.01). Significant linear correlation was seen between knowledge-practice scores (r = 0.20) (P ≤ 0.01), practice-condition of work place scores (r = 0.14) (P ≤ 0.05), and knowledge-condition of work place scores (r = 0.14) (P ≤ 0.05). Conclusion : The knowledge of ergonomic postural requirements and their clinical application among the dental students surveyed were not satisfactory. A multifactorial approach that includes preventive education, postural and positioning strategies, proper selection, and use of ergonomic equipment should be employed.

Geosensor Data Representation Using Layered Slope Grids

Environmental monitoring applications are designed for supplying derived and often integrated information by tracking and analyzing phenomena. To determine the condition of a target place, they employ a geosensor network to get the heterogeneous sensor data. To effectively handle a large volume of sensor data, applications need a data abstraction model, which supports the summarized data representation by encapsulating raw data. For faster data processing to answer a user’s queries with representative attributes of an abstracted model, we propose such a data abstraction model, the Layered Slopes in Grid for Sensor Data ion (LSGSA), which is based on the SGSA. In a single grid-based layer for each sensor type, collected data is represented by slope directional vectors in two layered slopes, such as height and surface. To answer a user query in a central monitoring server, LSGSA is used to reduce the time needed to extract event features from raw sensor data as a preprocessing step for interpreting the observed data. The extracted features are used to understand the current data trends and the progress of a detected phenomenon without accessing raw sensor data.

Prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares em professores de escolas públicas e privadas do ensino fundamental

OBJETIVOS: Diante da preocupação com a saúde e as condições de trabalho dos professores, este artigo objetivou verificar a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares em professores do ensino fundamental de escolas públicas e privadas. MÉTODOS: A amostra foi composta por 320 professores de seis escolas. Para a pesquisa, fez-se uso de um questionário sociodemográfico, de um check-list para avaliação ergonômica, e do questionário nórdico para avaliar os sintomas osteomusculares. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se o programa SPSS® 10.0. RESULTADOS: Dos participantes, 89,7% referiram algum sintoma nos últimos 12 meses. As áreas mais acometidas por estes sintomas foram: coluna dorsal 54,1% (173), pescoço 50,9% (163) coluna lombar 49,1% (157). Os sintomas impossibilitaram 36,6% dos professores de exercer suas atividades normais. Observou-se também que a condição ergonômica do local de trabalho é considerada ruim pelos professores. CONCLUSÃO: Concluímos que a prevalência de sintomas osteomusculares nos professores é alta e as condições ergonômicas são consideradas inapropriadas, podendo interferir diretamente em sua saúde.

222 豊島廃棄物等処理事業での情報共創システムの開発 : GISを活用した事業の進捗業況の3Dモデル化とその活用(環境マネジメント・手法(1),資源循環・廃棄物処理技術)

Teshima waste treatment project is going forward under the idea called the KYOSO. From this idea, it is important that information sharing of progress of the project among an enterprise, inhabitants, citizens. Therefore we deliberated visualization the disposal place by 3D modeling that created periodical GPS surveying. By results data that surveyed by GPS of three years, we were able to confirm visually progress of the digging. In addition, we could compare actual condition of disposal place to future plans. Furthermore, we calculated a digging volume from a 3D modeling to assure strictness of the information and compared it with quantity of export. As a result, we were able to get fixed consistency.

Getting Lost in Tokyo

This paper explores the potential for using alternative forms of inscriptive practice to describe the urban space of the Tokyo Subway. I begin with an account of the process of getting lost in Shinjuku Subway Station in the heart of Tokyo. This station represents a limit condition of place, being dense and complex beyond the powers of traditional architectural representation. The station is explored through serial translations, beginning with narrative, moving to a flowchart diagram, Laban dance notation, recurring motifs and archetypes, architectural drawing, photography, and cartography. As Claudia Brodsky Lacour and Tim Ingold describe, the form our inscriptive practices take are crucial to the ways in which we conceptualise those places. How much of the experience of a place is lost in the traditional inscriptive practices of the architect? This description of the urban space of the Tokyo subway forms the basis for an extended study exploring the description of this experience of place, and the power of such description to theorise space. The ultimate aim of this is to shift the focus of urban design away from geometric principles and towards the experiences that might be enjoyed in such places.

Un prateiro compostelán e o seu entorno familiar. Tradición testamentaria de Rodrigo de Pardiñas

The city of Santiago de Compostela was, for many centuries, an by virtue of his condition of archdiocese and place of peregrination, a center of reference for the religious arts, and very especial way, the silverwork, which gives name, precisely, to one of de most known squares of the city. The object of this article is to realize a shallow approximation to the vital incident of a silversmith, Rodrigo de Pardinas, across the testaments that he granted along his life, as well as of the documents of last wills of two os his wives.

At the Edge · In the Frame

A truly felt work of architecture is that which has been freed from dualities. Within the multitude of forces inherent in a particular condition of place it is not a question of revealing paradoxical opposites, but of directing ordering forces to cohere, to build and store energy through their interactions.

Théorèmes d'existence pour un modèle membranaire « proprement invariantde plaque non linéairement élastique

We establish the “local” existence of an injective solution to the nonlinear, “properly invariant”, membrane plate model, stated in [ 1] and [ 2], successively for the clamped plate submitted to forces parallel to its plane and for the plate submitted to a boundary condition of place of “extended” state.

Initial‐boundary value problems for non‐linear equations of generalized thermoelasticity and elasticity

AbstractWe formulate a local existence theorem for the initial‐boundary value problems of generalized thermoelasticity and classical elasticity. We present a unified approach to such boundary conditions as, for example, the boundary condition of traction, pressure or place combined with the boundary condition of heat flux or temperature.

Studies on the Effects of Soil Physical Conditions on the Growth and Yield of Crop Plants : VIII. Efects of aeration treatment on the nutrient absorption and tuberous root formation of sweet potato.

By managing so that a tuberous root forming place and a nutrient-absorbing place could be distinguished, the authors made these experiments to probe the effects of aeration treatment to each place and the amount of fertilizer (ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate) on the growth of the top parts and the thickening of tuberous root. The results obtained may by summarized as follows. 1) The authors investigated the effects of aeration treatment in the soil where nutrient-absorbing chiefly took place, the condition of the soil where tuberous root was fomed being equal. As a result, it was observed that the growth of the top parts and the thickening of tuberous root were checked by the poor of the soil aeration and the soil compaction of a nutrient-absorbing place. However, when air was injected and O2 concentration in soil air was increased, the growth of the top parts and the thickening of tuberous root were remarkably promoted. On the other hand, when N gas was injected in that place and O2 concentration in soil air was decreased, the growth of non-tuberous root was promoted and the weight of the top parts increased, although the thickening of tuberous root was hampered and its weight decreased. When the soil of a nutrient-absorbing place was loose and the soil aeration was kept to be excellent, both the growth of the top parts and the thickening of tuberous root were greatly promoted and-the weight of tuberous root could be increased. 2) The authors examined the effects of fertilizer treatment to a tuberous root-forming place and a nutrient-absorbing place on the thickening of tuberous root. As a result, it was found that to apply much nitrogenous fertilizer (ammonium sulfate) promoted the growth of the top parts remarkably but hampered the thickening of tuberous root to some extent. On the other hand, to apply a great deal of potash fertilizer (potassium sulfate) hardly affected the growth of the top parts. but promoted the thickening of tuberous root and increased its weight. 3) The authors examined the effects of soil aeration to tuberous root-forming place on the growth of the top parts and the thickening of tuberous root, the condition of a nutrient-absorbing place being equal (in water culture). When N gas was injected in the soil and of concentration in soil air was decreased, the growth of the top parts was not affected so much, but the thickening of tuberous root was checked and its weight was decreased considerably.
