All the labels of dataset are publicly available in YOLO format and COCO format. The availability and accuracy of the datasets were reviewed by experts in coal mine field. The dataset is open access and aims to support further research and advancement of the intelligent identification and classification of abnormal conditions for underground mining.

Risk Transfer Strategy and Performance of Air Safety Projects in Civil Aviation Industry in Nairobi County, Kenya

The aviation industry plays a major role in the world economy and plays a key role in the realization of Kenya Vision 2030 and the Big Four Agenda. ICAO strives to implement practical and achievable measures to improve air safety and efficiency in the air transportation system, such as Global Air Navigation Plan (GANP) and Aviation System Block Upgrades (ASBU) methodology. The KCAA Airspace Master Plan for 2015–2030 delivers a number of recommendations for the project implementation plan of CNS technologies that will supplement the airspace infrastructure in Kenya. Most of these recommendations stem from the priorities allocated to ICAO ASBU modules to meet the KCAA operational objectives. This project implementation plan is structured to cover Air Navigation Services (ANS). Performance of air safety projects has remained below the global targets in most African states and, consequently, high accident rates. Risk transfer strategy have been identified as one of the factors that affect project performance in other industries. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of risk transfer strategy on the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry in Nairobi County, Kenya. The specific objective of the study was to determine the influence of risk transfer strategy on the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry in Kenya. The study was guided by Agency Theory. A descriptive research design was adopted, and the target population comprised 277 KCAA staff in the ANS department stationed in different stations in Nairobi County. Slovin’s formula was used to obtain a sample population of 164 from a target population of 277. The study used primary data that was gathered by administering questionnaires. Then the data were summarized and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics comprised mean, averages, and standard deviation, while inferential statistics comprised correlation and regression analysis. SPSS software was used to generate the statistics. The findings of the study were presented in the form of tables, frequencies, and percentages to ease interpretations and understanding. Findings from correlation and regression statistics indicated that risk transfer had a positive and significant influence on the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry. This study strongly recommends that more research is required to confirm if the findings hold for other types of public institutions in the transport sector. Future researchers could look into risk transfer strategies in the context before and after the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and how it impacts the performance of air safety projects in the civil aviation industry

Pemetaan dan Analisis Tren Angka Kecelakaan di Kota Surabaya

Traffic accidents are one of the biggest causes of death in Indonesia. Factors causing traffic accidents are traffic conditions which are the accumulated interactions of various characteristics of drivers, vehicles, road infrastructure and environmental characteristics. Surabaya has become a metropolis city with several rich business diversity in it. In addition, Surabaya has now become the center of business, trade, industry and education in Indonesia. These activities have an impact on increasing the volume of vehicles in the city of Surabaya. The method used in this research is descriptive observational (ecological study). March 2023. BPBD Surabaya City. In 2020 to 2022 the total number of traffic accidents in the city of Surabaya shows an increase. The results of mapping and analysis of secondary data obtained from BPBD Surabaya City show that there are several sub-districts that have a high rate of traffic accidents, namely Wonokromo Sub-district, Gubeng District, Genteng District, Tegalsari District. So that the sub-district requires greater traffic management efforts to overcome and reduce the incidence of traffic accidents. Surabaya is a city with a high enough accident risk. Based on data on the number of incidents and the number of victims in the city of Surabaya from 2020 to 2022, the trend for the number of accidents every year has increased even though the data distribution is not linear due to several factors. Several factors include human factors, vehicle factors, and road factors.

Non-pharmacotherapeutic Management of Alcohol Use Disorder in the Alaska Native Population: A Narrative Review.

Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is a leading preventable cause of death in the United States and has had a greater health impact on Alaska Natives than on any other racial group. To date, AUD in these communities has had wide-reaching negative impacts contributing to high rates of suicide, homicide, and accidents. A variety of genetic, experiential, social, and cultural factors have been associated with this trend. For decades, the Alaska Native subgroup has received inadequate treatment. The purpose of this review is to evaluate current trends in effective interventions and to help answer the question: What may comprise a successful non-pharmacotherapeutic interventional strategy to treat and prevent AUD in Alaska Natives?A database literature search was performed in September 2022 using the PubMed library. Search terms included (alcohol use disorder) AND ((Alaska OR Alaskan) Native). Inclusion criteria included full-text articles, a focus on specific non-pharmacotherapeutic treatment strategies, and a publication date after 2005. Studies that did not evaluate non-pharmacotherapeutic interventions, evaluated a population other than Alaska Natives, evaluated a disorder other than AUD,were written in a language other than English, or were editorials or opinion pieces were excluded. The selected studies were assessed for bias utilizing the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). Twelve studies were included in this review. This review found that early social network intervention, incentive-driven programs, culturally-driven programs, and motivational interviewing are promising non-pharmacotherapeutic interventions in the treatment of AUD in Alaska Native communities. Evidence suggests that a shift in focus to the accentuation of protective factors and the mitigation of isolation as a risk factor, rather than on the reduction of more intractable risk factors, may be associated with improved outcomes in treating AUD. The literature also suggests that successful prevention strategies should be driven by indigenous knowledge and grounded in community and culture. This study has its limitations. These include a lack of direct comparisons between studies, a lack of pooled statistical analysis or synthesis, and a lack of quantitative analysis. Instead, the majority of data is gathered from more bias-prone cross-sectional studies and, thus, should be used to provide insight into potential risk factors and non-pharmacologic therapies effective in this population rather than as strong evidence in favor of one therapeutic regimen over another. For this, there is a need for more clinical trials evaluating treatments for AUD in this population.This review received support from the University of South Florida Department of Psychiatry. There were no sources of funding for this work from any institution. There are no competing financial or non-financial interests that may be interested in this work. This review is not registered.

AUTOMATIC E-CHALLAN GENERATING SYSTEM FOR NOT WEARING HELMET

All bike riders must now wear helmets due to the high accident rate and hazardous road conditions. Nowadays, wearing a helmet is required. Bike riders occasionally disobey safety regulations, such as not donning a helmet while riding, necessitating human intervention, which has not been very successful. Increasing the use of helmets when riding is the goal of our project. This classification- based model has undergone thorough training. Prior to identifying the number plate, the helmet is first recognized. In order to identify whether the rider is wearing a helmet, CNN recognizes the motorcycle. If the rider is not wearing a helmet, Tesseract OCR will find the motorcycle license plate. As a result, the obtained characters will be kept in the Database. Currently, classified automobiles are retrieved from the database and verified against their original identities, which are saved as details about specific vehicles. Now that the information has been matched, it is further contacted via APIs and messages are sent to the appropriate email or phone number.

Obstructive sleep apnea and excessive daytime sleepiness among commercial motor vehicle drivers in Lusaka, Zambia.

Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a risk factor for a major public health problem, car crashes, due to excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS). Commercial vehicle driving (CVD) is a hazardous occupation, having a high fatality rate worldwide. There have been no studies on EDS and OSA in Zambia despite the high rate of annual road traffic accidents (RTAs). We aim to determine the prevalence of EDS and OSA risk among CVDs in Lusaka, Zambia, to assess the impact of OSA on high RTA rates. This was a cross-sectional study. The STOP BANG questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale were used. Consecutive sampling of drivers was done who were divided into low and high risk of OSA (HROSA). The risk factors associated with OSA in the bivariate analyses were subjected to a multivariate logistic regression model. One hundred thirty-six drivers participated in the study (all male) with a mean age of 48 ± 5 years. The prevalence of HROSA was 22.8% out of whom 67.7% also had a EDS. Only 9.6% of the total cohort had EDS without HROSA. Using Fisher's exact test, HROSA was significantly associated with older age (> 50 years, P < .001), obesity (body mass index >30, P < .001), neck circumference of > 40 cm (P = .032), and hypertension (P < .001). Snoring and EDS were significantly associated with RTAs (P < .0001 and P = .007, respectively). High risk of OSA and EDS are common among CMV drivers in Zambia and underdiagnosed. The risk factors for OSA are amenable to preventive interventions. Simpamba K, May JL, Waghat A, Attarian H, Mateyo K.

An Estimation of the Safety Risk Factors Encountered During Tower Crane Installation and Dismantling on Construction Sites in Vietnam

The construction field has an important and meaningful role in the economy of any nation, especially developing nations. However, construction is one of the most dangerous fields and has the highest rate of accidents, including deaths and disabling injuries in the world. The construction field uses many tower cranes, especiallyfor constructing multi-storey buildings, factories, or in urban areas, and requires an increasing number of tower cranes. Tower cranes certainly contribute to the high rate of construction injuries and fatalities, in which tower crane installation and dismantling take a high rate. Accidents during tower crane installation and dismantling can killpeople (workers and citizens) as well as delays in construction schedules of project and/or damage to buildings and machines under construction. As a result, the cost of costruction projects can increase. In this paper, safety risk factors during tower crane installation and dismantling on construction sites in Vietnam are estimated byshowing their likelihood of occurrence, degree of influence, and risk levels. A suitable-structured questionnaire was produced and sent to get data that had their likelihood of occurrence and degree of influence by applying a five-point Likert scale. The results showed that “Time constraints are requested by investor, principal contractor or employer” is the most likely factor with a mean value of 3.60 and “Break of a wire rope occurring on dismantling” has the highest degree of influence, with a mean valueof4.18. The result also showed that there are 15/21 factors with a moderate risk level that is acceptable but, requires suitable controls to maintain a safe working condition of tower crane installation and dismantling. The results of the paper may help managers as well as practicians with good understandings of how to advance the safety of tower crane installation and dismantling on construction sites in Vietnam.

Klasifikasi Kendaraan Berbasis Suara Di Lalu Lintas: Implementasi TinyML

Driving is deeply embedded in Indonesian culture. All Indonesian citizens (WNI) who meet the qualifications can obtain a driver's license (SIM). As a result, the number of drivers in Indonesia is relatively significant, resulting in a high rate of traffic accidents. One of the reasons leading to the rising number of road accidents is hearing loss. This study focuses on building a tool that can classify vehicles based on the audio of the vehicle while it is running in order to assist drivers with hearing impairments. This study employs the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, which includes an embedded microphone, and the Edge Impulse open platform. A simple artificial neural network model with four 1-D convolution layers and one hidden layer was utilized. The dataset was obtained manually using the YouTube open platform and was captured directly on the Edge Impulse platform using the Arduino Nano's microphone. The model training procedure was repeated 80 epochs. During training and testing, the model is regarded to be accurate, with accuracy scores of 96.3% and 90.9%, respectively. With these adequate results, the model is judged eligible for implementation, despite the fact that it still requires further refinement.

BASE Jumping in the Lauterbrunnen Valley: A Retrospective Cohort Study from 2007 to 2016.

BASE jumping, and especially BASE jumping with the help of wingsuits, is considered one of the most dangerous airborne sports. The valley of Lauterbrunnen in Switzerland has become infamous for the large number of BASE jumps and the high rate of accidents and fatalities. The aim of this study was to evaluate the morbidity and mortality of BASE jumping, to determine the severity of injuries and injury patterns of BASE jumping accidents and to compare preclinical assessment with clinical diagnoses to detect under- or overtriage. This retrospective, descriptive cohort study covers a period of 10 years (2007-2016). The evaluation covered all BASE jumping incidents in the valley of Lauterbrunnen that required either a helicopter mission by the local HEMS (Helicopter Emergency Medical Service) company of Lauterbrunnen, Air Glaciers, or medical care in the regional hospital, the level I trauma centre or the medical practice of the local general practitioner. Besides demographic data, experience in BASE jumping and skydiving as well as BASE jumping technique(s) and details about the rescue missions were collected. The medical data focused on the severity of injuries, as expressed by the National Advisory Committee of Aeronautics (NACA) score in the prehospital assessment as well as the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) and Injury Severity Score (ISS) retrieved from the clinical records in the hospital or medical practice setting. The patients were predominantly young, experienced male BASE jumpers. Morbidity (injury risk) ranged from 0.05% to 0.2%, and fatality risk from 0.02% to 0.08%. Undertriage was low, with only two cases. Overtriage was significant, with 73.2% of all NACA 4-6 cases not qualifying for major trauma. BASE jumping remains a high-risk sport and is associated with significant rates of injuries and fatalities. Comparison with previous studies indicated that the injury rate may have decreased, but the fatality rate had not. In this known BASE jumping environment, prehospital assessment appears to be good, as we found a low undertriage rate. The high overtriage rate might be an expression of physicians' awareness of high-velocity trauma mechanisms and possible deceleration injuries.

Evaluating the effectiveness of strategies for implementation of health and safety programs on construction sites in Nigeria: A mixed-method study

Introduction: Empirical and anecdotal evidence show that construction projects are delivered on work sites where unsafe acts and conditions abound. Researchers have investigated the strategies that can be adopted to effectively implement health and safety (H&S) in projects so as to reduce the high rates of accidents, injuries and fatalities. However, the effectiveness of these strategies have not been marginally established. Therefore, this study established the effectiveness of H&S implementation strategies on accidents, injuries, and fatalities reduction in Nigerian construction projects. Method: A mixed-method research design was adopted for data collection in the study. Physical observations, interviews, and a questionnaire were the instruments used for data collection in the mixed-method research design. Results: The resultant data identified six appropriate strategies for enabling the desired levels of H&S program implementation on construction sites. Setting up statutory bodies such as the Health and Safety Executive to promote awareness, good practices, and standardization was adjudged pertinent as one of the effective H&S implementation programs that can be used to reduce accidents, incidents, and fatalities in projects. It is expected that the adoption of these strategies would culminate in effective H&S program implementation and subsequently a reduction in the prevalence of accidents, injuries, and fatalities in projects.

A Study of the Relationship between Safety Perceptions and Mindfulness

It is well known that the construction industry has a high rate of workplace accidents, resulting in complex legal situations and legal cases. Researchers are debating whether the majority of workplace accidents and injuries are the result of employees' unsafe work practices or unsafe working conditions. In this context, it has been determined that we must comprehend the trait predictors of safety behaviors, which influence workplace accidents and injuries. This study's primary objective is to identify the factors that influence safety behavior in construction workplaces. In previous studies, the effects of employee perceptions of safety culture on safety behavior performance were typically measured with the aid of various mediators. This study, unlike previous ones, focuses on revealing the mediating effect of employee mindfulness perceptions in the relationship between safety culture and safety behavior. Using a sample of 387 employees from the Turkish construction industry, a 58-item survey was conducted to determine the impact of safety culture perception and mindfulness on self-reported safety behavior. A structural equation model was used to analyze and explain the relationships between the proposed framework's constructs. The results of the study indicate that safety culture is associated with safety behavior, and that mindfulness mediates this relationship. There are significant relationships between employees' perceptions of safety culture, mindfulness, and safety behavior, according to the findings. Safety culture and mindfulness are significant predictors of safety behaviors, and mindfulness is an essential personal resource for a successful safety-focused organization.

“It Adds to The Stress of the Body”: Community health needs of a state-recognized Native American tribe in the United States

While many of the health disparities, brought on by the cruelties of settler colonization, that affect Native American and Alaskan Native communities and individuals at high rates have been documented, the health risks impacting non-federally recognized tribes are less explored. In this manuscript, we explore the challenges non-recognized tribes face and how without Tribal sovereignty, autonomy, and resources, it is more difficult for non-recognized tribes to provide care and resources for the members of their communities. This study took place in the Gulf South regions of the United States, where there are environmental factors pertaining to industry, global warming, environmental racism, and rurality that further impact the quality of life and rates of cancer, respiratory illness, and reproductive health issues in the Native American communities that live there. In addition, tribes without federal recognition have increased challenges in addressing the lack of access to health equity and may not have the health resources or programming available to them that exist for federally recognized tribes. To explore these topics, a qualitative description methodology was used to conduct 31 semi-structured interviews with women from a state-recognized Native American tribe in the Gulf South to understand their healthcare experiences and concerns. Participants in this study described: high rates of cancer, vehicle accidents or collisions common, barriers to exercising, physical injuries common, chronic illnesses common in the community, loss of family members, and physical violence. These findings indicate that state-recognized tribal members may need increased, improved, and culturally contextualized healthcare programs within their communities, in addition to full recognition of their tribal sovereignty rights. This study begins to address important gaps in the research exploring the full scope of the health risks and challenges affecting non-federally recognized tribal members, while also highlighting their resilience in the face of settler colonialism.

Evaluating the Influence of Positive Affect, Risk Perception, and Personal Characteristics on the Risk-Taking Riding Behaviors of Motorcyclists

This study on Malaysian motorcyclists was carried out due to the high fatality rate of motorcycle traffic accidents. A survey was conducted to assess demographic information, risky behavior engagement, positive affect, and risk perception among Malaysian motorcyclists. The results were analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling to assess the survey’s reliability and validity. Consequently, a statistical model was created based on the hypothesis model where the relationship among each latent construct was evaluated, including risk perception, positive affect, risky behavior, and mediator personal characteristics. The model revealed that positive affect had the strongest positive relationship with the construct of risky behavior (t-value of 15.517), while the personal characteristics of the rider had a significant direct effect on risky behavior, with a t-value of 2.175. In addition, an indirect effect of personal characteristics on risky behavior through positive affect was also found to be significant (t-value = 3.885). These results concur with most studies conducted on motorist driving behavior showing that motorcyclist risky behavior engagement can potentially be reduced from the perspective of encouragement and empowerment instead of enforcement and deterrence. This study is important in identifying practical measures that can integrate road safety into a broader strategy for sustainable transportation.

Factors associated with accidents involving biological material among health professionals.

Accidents with biological material and cuting/piercing instruments among health professionals have led to increased rates of hospital infection and subsequent patient contamination. To compare factors associated with accidents involving biological material among health workers. This cross-sectional epidemiological study, conducted in 2019-2020, included 229 physicians and non-physicians. The sample was 60.7% physicians and 39.3% non-physicians; 51.5% were women; 48.5% were aged ≥40 years; 55% lived with a partner; 57.6% had a specialist or graduate degree; and 51.5% had ≥ 1 child). he physician group had a higher education level, worked > 1 job, and had a high rate of accidents, in addition to lower rates of pre-employment examinations, specific accident training, and supervisor contact in case of accidents. There was also a positive association in the physician group between accidents, employment length, and operating room experience, while age was inversely correlated with accident risk. Different worker categories had specific risk profiles that involved education level, employment length, a low notification level, and risk underestimation. The results showed that education level and employment length do not guarantee accidents prevention. Both the physician and non-physician groups had significant accident rates and a similar behavior profile when events occurred, including low notification rates and underestimating the risk involved in the accident.
