Dust control handbook for industrial minerals mining and processing

"This handbook was written by a task force of safety and health specialists, industrial hygienists, and engineers to provide information on proven and effective control technologies that lower workers' dust exposures during all stages of mineral processing. The handbook describes both dust-generating processes and the control strategies necessary to enable mine operators to reduce worker dust exposure. Implementation of the engineering controls discussed can assist operators, health specialists, and workers in reaching the ultimate goal of eliminating pneumoconiosis and other occupational diseases caused by dust exposure in the mining industry. Designed primarily for use by industrial minerals producers, this handbook contains detailed information on control technologies to address all stages of the minerals handling process, including drilling, crushing, screening, conveyance, bagging, loadout, and transport. The handbook's aim is to empower minerals industry personnel to apply state-of-the-art dust control technology to help reduce or eliminate mine and mill worker exposure to hazardous dust concentrations - a critical component in ensuring the health of our nation's mine workers." - NIOSHTIC-2NIOSHTIC no. 20055113Suggested citation: NIOSH [2019].

“Caderneta da saúde menstrual” : organizador de ciclo menstrual para mulheres de baixa renda

Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (graduação)—Universidade de Brasília, Departamento de Desenho Industrial, 2016.Este trabalho descreve um projeto de graduação do curso de Desenho Industrial da Universidade de Brasilia, que consiste na elaboração de um produto para mulheres com acesso limitado a tecnologia registrarem e armazenarem informações sobre seu ciclo menstrual, de forma que auxilie na comunicação médico/paciente no momento da consulta. O projeto conduziu o desenvolvimento de um produto pela abordagem do Design Thinking, que após seguidas as etapas proposta foi desenvolvido um produto, a “Caderneta de Saúde Menstrual”.This paper describes a graduation project of the Industrial Design course at the University of Brasilia. It consists in the development of a product for women with limited access to technology so they can record and store information about their menstrual cycle in order to assist the communication between physicians and patients during medical appointments. The project was developed using the Design Thinking approach, which after following the steps proposed, has developed a product, the “Handbook of Menstrual Health”

Inter-Enterprise architecture and Internet of the future

The final publication is available at Springer via http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-37291-9_3This paper proposes the concept of Inter-Enterprise Architecture (IEA), which seeks the application of tools and methodologies developed in the Enterprise Architecture (EA) field for the individual firm, adapting to an environment of collaboration between several companies that make networks or supply chains, in order to facilitate the integration and interoperability of their collaborative processes in line with its IS/IT (Information Systems/ Information Technology) to harmonize the joint processes, reduce risk and duplication, increase service and customer responsiveness, reduce technology costs and align the joint business to IS/IT.Vargas, A.; Boza García, A.; Cuenca, L.; Sacala, I.

Industrial policy for the medium to long-term

This report reviews the market failure and systems failure rationales for industrial policy and assesses the evidence on part experience of industrial policy in the UK. In the light of this, it reviews options for reshaping the design and delivery of industrial policy towards UK manufacturing. These options are intended to encourage a medium- to long-term perspective across government departments and to integrate science, innovation and industrial policy
