Gender aspects in occupational exposure and health studies.

While sex is a biological attribute associated with physical and physiological features, gender refers to socially constructed roles, behaviors, expressions, and identities. On the biological side, males and females differ concerning hormonal and anatomical differences, and It is therefore plausible occupational exposure may act differently on males and females. In contrast, gender may influence the work organization, work environment conditions and exposures, and employment conditions, leading people of different genders to perform different jobs or job tasks, be exposed to different stressors, and work under different employment terms. Traditionally, occupational exposures have been assessed without considering how exposures may differ by sex or gender. Early research focused on occupations that primarily employed men. However, women have entered occupations historically dominated by men, leading to emerging exploration of gender differences in exposure. Some women-dominated occupations have become the focus of intensive research activity. In the Annals, the number of articles including sex and gender issues has increased dramatically over time, with only two published prior to 1980, and 70 in the 2010s, and with a special issue dedicated to Gender, Work, and Health in 2018 where the editors highlighted a need to improve assessment of gender and sex identities to allow for more nuanced knowledge to elucidate the role of work organization and contextual factors about gender, work exposures, and health. Females, on average, have different body dimensions than males, which affects how well workplaces and personal protective equipment (PPE) fit females, and there remains a need for further improvements to ensure that females are protected equally well. On the other hand, females tend to comply more frequently with PPE requirements than men highlighting the need for gender-specific initiatives in order to increase PPE performance and compliance. In conclusion, there is still work to do in order to fill in the existing knowledge gap with regard to sex, gender, and work, but there are promising initiatives and the field is progressing.

MITDCNN: A multi-modal input Transformer-based deep convolutional neural network for misfire signal detection in high-noise diesel engines

The accurate detection of faults in diesel engines is crucial for extending their operational lifespan, ensuring safety, and yielding significant economic and societal benefits. However, existing detection methodologies encounter difficulties in the presence of substantial environmental noise and lack generalizability across various operating conditions. Traditional fault diagnosis models also predominantly rely on single data detection schemes, such as one-dimensional data input for anomaly analysis, which may not account for the inherent correlations and distribution discrepancies within the same data source presented in different formats. To tackle these challenges, we proposed a novel multi-modal input Transformer-based convolutional neural network (MITDCNN) for misfire detection in diesel engines under significant environmental noise and diverse working conditions. We collected vibration signals from engine cylinder heads at different speeds and extracted both one-dimensional amplitude vector features and two-dimensional image properties. These features were input into the multi-modal feature extraction network and subsequently processed and identified by the cross-channel feature fusion detection network. Our fusion module incorporated a dual-dimension spatial and channel attention mechanism to suppress vibration noise interference effectively, so that the network is able to counteract the impact of environmental noise and varying operating conditions on the final detection outcomes. We validated the efficacy of the proposed approach through a curated dataset and benchmark comparisons with the established algorithms. Our results demonstrate that MITDCNN's accuracy and noise robustness are notably superior to other available methods. Across four datasets generated under distinct working conditions, our approach achieves a minimum accuracy of 99.008%, even with a signal-to-noise ratio of −4dB, greatly surpassing other methods.

Material characterization and uncertainty evaluation at millimetre wave frequencies in TUBITAK UME

The frequency response of the materials which are used in communication systems has gained increasing importance nowadays. Frequency response measurements of materials in laboratory environments do not contain sufficient information about real working environment conditions. The free space dielectric measurement method, known as one of the most frequently used material characterization methods at high frequencies, is used to give more accurate results under real operating conditions. In this study, using the TUBITAK UME’s infrastructure, the measurement results in free space at millimetre wave frequency, and the uncertainty calculations of the measurements are given for some materials such as Teflon, Fr4, Komacel, and Air. Measurements were performed at two different frequency bands such as E and D bands by using KMMS software which is known to run up to 50 GHz frequency. Measurement results of materials were compared with the known low-frequency response of the materials in this study. And uncertainty calculation model was discussed in this study either.

The Correlation Of Unsafe Action And Unsafe Condition On Work Accident Among Nurses At Dr Tadjuddin Chalid Hospital Makassar

Work accident data at Dr Tadjuddin Chalid, there are 12 reported cases of work accidents in 2021. The objective of this study was to establish the correlation between unsafe actions, unsafe conditions, and the frequency of work accidents among nurses at Dr Tadjuddin Chalid Makassar Hospital. The research methodology employed for this investigation was observational, adopting a cross-sectional approach. The targeted population encompassed 205 individuals, with a final sample size of 136 nurses being involved in this research endeavour. The sample is taken using a simple random sampling method. Respondent data collection using a questionnaire. Data analysis used the chi-square test to see the relationship between independent variables, namely unsafe actions (perceptions, work experience, work stress, work shifts and supervision) and unsafe conditions (work environment, tools/materials and dangerous unsafe environment) with the occurrence of work accidents. The findings indicated a notable correlation between unsafe behaviour and work accidents (p-value = 0.001), alongside a significant relationship between unsafe conditions and work accidents (p-value = 0.007). In summation, it can be concluded that both unsafe behaviour and unsafe conditions are connected to the incidence of work accidents at Dr. Tadjuddin Chalid Makassar Hospital. It is recommended that the hospital emphasizes enhancing the work environment's conditions and elevating the quality of training and supervision. These measures are essential for mitigating the prevalence of work accidents among nurses.

Did the COVID-19 pandemic influence inequality in self-reported work environment conditions based on gender and place of birth? A study of a Swedish commercial laundromat

We evaluated differences in work environment conditions and health by gender and place of birth in a commercial laundromat prior to (baseline) and at the end of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic (follow-up). Using survey data, including dimensions from the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire, from forty-one workers, we assessed work environment conditions and health at baseline, follow-up and in change scores between baseline and follow-up. At baseline, men and women reported similar scores, while foreign-born (FB) workers reported better work environment conditions than Swedish-born (SB) workers. During the pandemic, conditions generally declined for all workers, but FB reported smaller declines than SB. A consistent inequality hierarchy across the 4 groups was not clear at baseline, follow-up or in change scores between time points. The study suggests potential cultural differences may exist in how work environment conditions are experienced. This should be considered in future studies and when managing future crises.

Transition from sheltered workplace: Vocational skills are not the main concern.

The aim of this study was to investigate the transition of employees with intellectual disabilities to inclusive work environments from sheltered workplaces.

Users’ perception of the physical work environment in Covenant University

Office users within higher institutions in Nigeria have been facing several challenges regarding the condition of their offices ranging from abstract concept like office orientation and positioning, to how conducive the office environment is for work. This condition may include unbalanced room temperature, inadequate ventilation and absence of efficient day lighting amongst others. This paper examined the condition of physical work environment of lecturers in Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria. A total of 183 questionnaires were administered, and a response rate of 72% was achieved and used for the study. Data collected was analysed with the use of Relative Agreement Index. Having assessed the condition of the physical work environment of lecturers using five of the essential features of a physical work environment, which are: ventilation, lighting, color, noise and indoor plants, the result showed that majority of the respondents were satisfied generally with the physical work environment in the University. However, with respect to each of the individual feature, they expressed a number of dissatisfaction – some offices do not have access to daylight, neither can they access natural ventilation, some other do not have window view, amongst other displeasures. The study recommends that since the Physical Work Environment (PHE) plays a very important role in an office for organizational survival, and for enhancing employees’ productivity, the University Management should consider retrofitting the offices that need to be made adequate for employees’ productivity.

Teacher Educators’ Application of Learning from Technology Professional Development

This study explored teacher educators’ application of learning from technology professional development (TPD).
