Small industry has a big role in encouraging development in areas, especially rural areas, which cannot be separated from national development in accordance with regional autonomy and regional aspirations. One of the small industries to fulfill development is the brick-making industry manually because it still uses a simple process in its production. Manual brick making cannot be separated from the risks that will arise for workers, one of the risks is fatigue due to the workload carried out in the process of making bricks repeatedly, the workload can be in the form of physical loads or mental loads. Fatigue from work will reduce performance and increase the rate of work errors. Increasing work errors will provide opportunities for work accidents. From this it is necessary to measure workload on work fatigue from the results of the ergonomic analysis of brickwork manual workers with Linear Regression with web-based programming. Each worker will be recorded based on the category Initial Pulse, Work Rate, Body Weight, Blood Pressure, Height, Age, as well as several questions to workers needed to measure the workload against work fatigue. Questions about Activity Weakness and Physical Fatigue in a span of days (Very Often, Often, Sometimes, Never; to each worker. The conclusion from the results of the workload analysis has an influence on fatigue of work in making bricks manually, namely Normal or Not Fatigue 6 workers , and Needs Improvement 9 workers with the percentage classification of Cardiovascular Load (CVL) is 40% and 60%.

Гестаційний процес та пологова діяльність у вагітних з різними типами вегетативної регуляції

The objective: is to analyze the frequency of gestational complications and labor abnormalities in pregnant women with different types of autonomic regulation disorders. Materials and methods. 129 women were examined. The type of autonomic regulation was determined by recording the time and spectral parameters of heart rate variability by computer cardiointervalography with use of CardioLab Bebicard diagnostic system. The main group consisted of 66 pregnant women with established autonomic regulation disorders. 63 patients with a normal autonomic state, a balanced level of sympathetic and parasympathetic activity formed a control group. To assess the status of the mother-placenta-fetus, an ultrasound examination with doplerometry was performed. Results. A significant increase of the central regulatory activity in pregnant women with autonomic dysfunction was established. The cardiointervalography indicate a balanced activity of the autonomic nervous system in the control group. The gestational complications were significantly more frequent in women of the main group in the context of detected autonomic dysfunction than in the control group. Labor anomalies were more common in pregnant women of the main group. Women with high parasympathetic astivity noted an increased frequency of labor dystocia. In patients with a superiority of sympathetic and humoral regulation, an increased frequency of labour activity weakness was observed. The fast deliveries often determined in pregnant women with decreased activity of both departments of autonomic nervous system. The incidence of urgent caesarian deliveries was significantly higher in the main group, including due to the ineffectiveness of the medical correction of labor abnormalities. Conclusions. The cardiointervalography is informative for the diagnosis of autonomous regulation and adaptive disorders, which may be the prerequisites for the gestational complications and labor abnormalities development. Using the heart rate variability analys is in pregnant women will improve the early prediction of gestational pathology and pathological birth process, reduce the risk of obstetric and perinatal complications. Key words: heart rate variability, autonomic regulation, gestational complications, labor activity abnormalities.
