Occupational Dermatitis in Railroad Cases

Employers today must be presumed to know of the dangerous nature of many chemicals which produce contact dermatitis, as well as respiratory and other injuries. Among the known-to-be-dangerous substances are such things as chrome compounds, lead compounds, petroleum compounds, and many others. The danger of sensitization by these substances also must be presumed to be known. It follows that an employer is legally bound to take all reasonable possible precautions to protect his workers from such injuries. Whether or not he has taken adequate precautions is a question of fact, for the jury. If he has taken no special precautions, he may be guilty of negligence as a matter of law

1907 - Report of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs for 1907

Detailed report on the efforts by the US government to civilize, educate and provide moral training to the original inhabitants. This largely involved placing the Indians on reservations, teaching them agricultural and homebuilding skills, training them in proper dress and customs of the white man and providing opportunities for education. Addresses, in part, recent laws regarding Indians and need for coordination amongst governmental agencies.https://digitalcommons.csumb.edu/hornbeck_usa_2_e/1031/thumbnail.jp

Uchronia: time at the intersection of design, chronosociology and chronobiology

The societal transformation from an agricultural to an urbanised 24/7 society, reflected in a move from natural time to the mechanical clock to the contemporary digital age, has significantly influenced our daily biological and social rhythms. Modern technology has fostered an increasing temporal fragmentation, heralding an era of flexible time with ever more complex processes of synchronisation. These inhumane rhythms conflict with the natural rhythmicity of the human biological clock. This thesis investigates the potential of new perceptions of time through the application of uchronia - a term derived from the Greek word ou-chronos meaning ‘ no time ’ or ‘ non-time’, and from utopia, from the Greek ou-topos. This research is situated within contemporary debates on the nature of temporality, often denoted as time crisis or dyschronia. It investigates uchronia as temporal utopia and in the way it generates insights about our knowledge of contemporary temporality. The research develops an original uchronian methodology and applications of uchronian thinking in practice-led design research, intertwining design, chronobiological and chronosociological research to propose a new area of chronodesign. Through design practice, I explore how scientific research can be translated into lived, aesthetic experience. The methods range from critical and speculative design ( thought experiments ), artistic research ( unlearning methods ), to methods drawn from chronobiological research ( zeitgeber method ). I investigate practical work which challenges thought patterns regarding the temporal structure of contemporary life, in which participants explore alternative time-givers or synchronisers, in order to think outside the boundaries of clocks and calendars. By providing a broadened definition of uchronianism, I aim to establish uchronia as a platform for critical thought and debate on the contemporary time crisis, with chronodesign as a practical design initiative
