Capture-Aware Dense Tag Identification Using RFID Systems in Vehicular Networks.

Passive radio-frequency identification (RFID) systems have been widely applied in different fields, including vehicle access control, industrial production, and logistics tracking, due to their ability to improve work quality and management efficiency at a low cost. However, in an intersection situation where tags are densely distributed with vehicle gathering, the wireless channel becomes extremely complex, and the readers on the roadside may only decode the information from the strongest tag due to the capture effect, resulting in tag misses and considerably reducing the performance of tag identification. Therefore, it is crucial to design an efficient and reliable tag-identification algorithm in order to obtain information from vehicle and cargo tags under adverse traffic conditions, ensuring the successful application of RFID technology. In this paper, we first establish a Nakagami-m distributed channel capture model for RFID systems and provide an expression for the capture probability, where each channel is modeled as any relevant Nakagami-m distribution. Secondly, an advanced capture-aware tag-estimation scheme is proposed. Finally, extensive Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed algorithm has strong adaptability to circumstances for capturing under-fading channels and outperforms the existing algorithms in terms of complexity and reliability of tag identification.

Recommendations for Occupational Safety and Health (K3) as a Means in Increasing Employee Performance Productivity

Occupational Health and Safety (K3) is an important aspect in an industrial environment that aims to protect employees from various risks and hazards that may occur during the production process. This study aims to analyze the role of OSH in increasing productivity and quality of work in various industrial sectors. Regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 4 of 1987 confirms that every agency that employs employees with a number of over 100 people or more is obliged to pay attention to the occupational safety and health of its employees, but unfortunately Not all agencies apply K3 to these agencies. Working with a healthy, safe and comfortable body and environment is what all workers want. The physical environment of the workplace and organizational environment are very important in influencing the social, mental and physical life of workers. The health of a workplace environment can have a positive influence on worker health, such as increasing worker morale, reducing absenteeism and increasing productivity. On the other hand, an unhealthy or unhealthy workplace (often exposed to hazardous substances/items affecting health/occupational safety) can increase the number of unhealthy and even accidents, lower the quality of workers' health, increase health costs and many other negative impacts. This study uses a qualitative approach by collecting data from various sources, including literature studies and interviews with industry practitioners who are experienced in OSH implementation. The results showed that OSH has a significant role in increasing employee productivity by reducing absenteeism due to work-related accidents and diseases. In addition, the implementation of an effective OSH program can reduce the number of work accidents and potential injuries, which ultimately improves work quality and operational efficiency. This study concludes that OSH is not only the responsibility of the company, but also the community and government must be involved in ensuring a safe and healthy work environment. With the implementation of OSH management, it is hoped that healthy workers will make productive workers, which is very important for the success of company and agency businesses and national development.

Determination of Waste Management Workers’ Physical and Psychological Load: A Cross-Sectional Study Using Biometric Data

Waste management workers experience high stress and physical strain in their work environment, but very little empirical evidence supports effective health management practices for waste management workers. Hence, this study investigated the effects of worker characteristics and biometric indices on workers' physical and psychological loads during waste-handling operations. A biometric measurement system was installed in an industrial waste management facility in Japan to understand the actual working conditions of 29 workers in the facility. It comprised sensing wear for data collection and biometric sensors to measure heart rate (HR) and physical activity (PA) based on electrocardiogram signals. Multiple regression analysis was performed to evaluate significant relationships between the parameters. Although stress level is indicated by the ratio of low frequency (LF) to high frequency (HF) or high LF power in HR, the results showed that compared with workers who did not handle waste, those who did had lower PA and body surface temperature, higher stress, and lower HR variability parameters associated with higher psychological load. There were no significant differences in HR, heart rate interval (RRI), and workload. The psychological load of workers dealing directly with waste was high, regardless of their PA, whereas others had a low psychological load even with high PA. These findings suggest the need to promote sustainable work relationships and a quantitative understanding of harsh working conditions to improve work quality and reduce health hazards.

Mechanization of sugarcane cultivation in Fiji – status and way forward

Sugarcane is Fiji’s most important commercial crop, with the sugar industry being the largest enterprise in the country. The industry employs close to 48,000 individuals, with a quarter of the country’s population depending directly and indirectly on the industry for their livelihoods, despite the subsiding sugar industry and declining yields observed in the past two decades. Therefore, to increase yield per hectare and solve the labour storage problem, there has been an immense focus on the mechanization of the sugar industry. There is very little documentation regarding the mechanization of sugarcane farming in Fiji, hence, the present study was undertaken to determine the status of farm mechanization in sugarcane production, using the Nadogo district of Vanua Levu, Fiji, as a case study site. The study revealed that to increase the productivity of the farm and reduce the cost of cultivation, farmers in the Nadogo district were attempting to adopt various mechanisation strategies related to land preparation, planting of sugarcane crops, intercultural operations, weedicide application, harvesting, ratoon management, and transportation of the harvests. In the study, we also focus on the advantages and disadvantages related to the mechanization of the sugarcane farms. The study revealed advantages such as saving time and labour for the growers, minimizing drudgery, improving work quality, lowering operating costs, and ensuring optimal resource utilization related to farm mechanization. The disadvantages were high maintenance costs due to wear and tear, the high cost of fuel to use some of the machinery, increased carbon footprints, and pollution. Most of these machines were also causing soil compaction during rainy seasons and delaying the cultivation process when machine breakdowns occurred and parts were not available.
