Persepsi Masyarakat Bali Terhadap Risiko Investasi USAha Minimarket

In the begining, in investing investors don\u27t only use the estimation of investment instrumental prospect, but psychological factors are included. Even more, many people say that psychological factor has great impact in investing. The psychological factor determine the investment result and investment analysis that use psychology and finance is known as behavioral finance. Minimarket investment is one of the general investment where everyone can start it and every one knows how to manage it because it is very easy to do.This research uses behavioral risk as independent variable and perceived risk as dependent variable. Behavioal risk is risk measurement in psychological perspective subjectively. Perceived risk is generaly can be understood as psychological phenomena that consist 3 element in descicion making.We conclude that in percepting minimarket risk, people realy concern on how big would be the outcome? Ang how would be the fair-minded. The more the income, the less it would be perceived as a risky thing an so the fair-minde

The Difference of Work Posture in Musculo-skeletal Disorder Symptoms Among Sales Women in the Department Store

Background: Musculoskeletal complaints often occur in saleswomen who do awkward standing during work. Repair of standing position can reduce the risk of musculoskeletal pain. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of corrective work posture on alleviating musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) symptoms among saleswomen in the department store.Subjects and Method: This was a quasi experiment before and after with no control design conducted in Rantauprapat department store, North Sumatera. A sample of 30 sales women from the department store was selected for this study. The dependent variable was MSD scores as measured by Nordic Body Map (NBM). The independent variables were corrective work posture. The data before and after corrective work posture were compared and tested by t-test.Results: There was a difference between poor and good posture in MSD symptoms among saleswomen in the Department Store. Saleswomen with poor posture had higher MSD symptoms (mean 64.45) than those with good posture (53.39), and it was statistically significant (p= 0.001).Conclusions: Saleswomen with poor posture has higher MSD symptoms than those with good postureKeywords: musculoskeletal disorders, work posture correction, Nordic Body MapCorrespondence:Nailatun Nadrah.

The Application of Health and Safety Plan in Nigerian Construction Firms

Construction works all over the world pose serious threat to workers and even non-workers. Health and safety in Nigerian construction firms have long been an issue to reckon with due to the several reports of the occurrence of accidents during construction works. This study investigates the extent of application of Health and Safety Plan in construction firms in Nigeria. A purposive sampling technique was used purposely for convenience sake and data was fetched from three cities with equal representation by the aid of a structured questionnaire. Results reveal that even though most firms studied have been in business for over a decade, one quarter of them hardly comply with any Health and Safety Plan during construction. Furthermore, employees are assets but this study reveals that some firms fully in business neither have Health and Safety insurance for their employees nor do some facilitate payment of Health and Safety insurance for their staff. It was concluded that effective Health and Safety practices for employees in Nigeria are yet to be fully appreciated and implemented among construction firms. As such, it is recommended that relevant authorities should checkmate Health and Safety practices in the Nigerian construction industry

Factors Related to Contact Dermatitis on Workers at PT Inti Pantja Press Industri

PT Inti Pantja Press Industri (IPPI) is an automotive manufacturing industry for car pressing body and car chassis. In the manufacturing process, its uses a variety of chemicals which may cause contact dermatitis for workers. There are other factors which may cause the contact dermatitis to workers worsen including indirect causes. The objective of this research is to investigate factors related to contact dermatitis in workers at PT IPPI. Research is conducted using a cross sectional design with quantitative approach which describe factors affecting the development of workers contact dermatitis. Research subjects are all the worker who uses chemicals during the work process (80 workers) consists from 4 (four) different sections: production (handwork), maintenance (plant service and die shop), quality control, and inventory finish part. Methodology used for data collection was using a questionnaire in which respondents were asked to fullfill a self-completion questionnaire. Results suggested that workers at PT IPPI experienced contact dermatitis are 39 workers (48,8%). There are 4 (four) factors were investigated using chi-square test (95% level of confidence) which are significantly related to contact dermatitis, including: type of work {p value 0,02, odds ratio 3,4 (1,305-8,641)}; age {p value 0,042, odds ratio 2,8 (1,136-7,019)}; working period {p value 0,014, odds ratio 3,5 (1,383-9,008)}; history of dermatitis at previous workplace {p value 0,042, odds ratio 5,9 (1,176-29,103)}. Factors which are not related to contact dermatitis are history of allergy, personal hygiene, and the use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

A study on detection of risk factors of a toddler’s fall injuries using visual dynamic motion cues

This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.The research in this thesis is intended to aid caregivers’ supervision of toddlers to prevent accidental injuries, especially injuries due to falls in the home environment. There have been very few attempts to develop an automatic system to tackle young children’s accidents despite the fact that they are particularly vulnerable to home accidents and a caregiver cannot give continuous supervision. Vision-based analysis methods have been developed to recognise toddlers’ fall risk factors related to changes in their behaviour or environment. First of all, suggestions to prevent fall events of young children at home were collected from well-known organisations for child safety. A large number of fall records of toddlers who had sought treatment at a hospital were analysed to identify a toddler’s fall risk factors. The factors include clutter being a tripping or slipping hazard on the floor and a toddler moving around or climbing furniture or room structures. The major technical problem in detecting the risk factors is to classify foreground objects into human and non-human, and novel approaches have been proposed for the classification. Unlike most existing studies, which focus on human appearance such as skin colour for human detection, the approaches addressed in this thesis use cues related to dynamic motions. The first cue is based on the fact that there is relative motion between human body parts while typical indoor clutter does not have such parts with diverse motions. In addition, other motion cues are employed to differentiate a human from a pet since a pet also moves its parts diversely. They are angle changes of ellipse fitted to each object and history of its actual heights to capture the various posture changes and different body size of pets. The methods work well as long as foreground regions are correctly segmented

Occupational Cumulative Trauma Disorders: Prevention and Treatment

Cumulative Trauma Disorders (CTDs) consist of a group of musculoskeletal injuries caused by overuse or repetitive strain. The purpose of this Independent Study was to review the literature concerning occupational CTDs, the methods of prevention, and treatment as it related to physical therapy. The most beneficial means of controlling CTDs appear to be taking preventative measures with jobsite analysis and employee education. Treatment is varied and dependent upon the actual diagnosis and causative factor. Therapists may attempt heat or cold modalities, work hardening programs, or manual therapy such as strain-counterstrain. An important aspect to treatment is early intervention. Due to the high prevalence of CTDs, it is important for therapists to become aware of its presence, learn to effectively determine the mode of injury, and appropriately treat the injured patient

The foreign body aspiration in children

Departamentul Pediatrie USMF “Nicolae Testemițanu”The foreign body aspiration (FBA) is responsible for a significant rate of morbidity and mortality in infants. The aspiration of foreign object in respiratory pathways can provoke the acute respiratory distress syndrome, chronic pulmonary infections, atelectasis and even decease. Because very often the moment of FBA remains unobserved, its consequences can mime other acute respiratory pathologies, for example croup, acute pneumonia, bronchial asthma, obstructive bronchitis etc. Being not timely treated and diagnosed, FBA can provoke severe impacts on respiratory system, such as atelectasis of some pulmonary segments and even whole lobes, more frequently – right middle lobe. Following from these considerations, the study of this pathology is very important for the timely diagnosis and correct treatment of children with FBA. Aspirația corpilor străini (ACS) este responsabilă pentru o rată semnificativă de morbiditate și mortalitate la copiii de vârstă fragedă. Aspirația unui obiect străin în căile respiratorii poate provoca sindromul de detresă respiratorie acută, infecții pulmonare cronice, atelectazie și chiar deces. Deoarece foarte frecvent momentul ACS rămîne neobservat, consecințele ei pot mima alte patologii acute respiratorii, de exemplu crupul, pneumonia acută, astmul bronșic, bronșita obstructivă ș. a. Nefiind tratată și diagnosticată la timp, ACS poate provoca impacturi severe asupra sistemului respirator, așa ca atelectazia unor segmente pulmonare și chiar a unor lobi întregi, mai frecvent – lobul mediu drept. Reieșind din aceste considerente, studierea acestei patologii se prezintă foarte importantă pentru diagnosticul oportun și tratamentul corect al copiilor cu ACS

Occupational respiratory health surveillance at Minara Resources, Murrin Murrin mine site

This thesis outlines the results of occupational respiratory health surveillance at Minara Resources, Murrin Murrin mine site. The research was conducted as part of a collaborative agreement between Edith Cowan University and Minara Resources, the overarching title of which was ‗Establishing best practice protocols in the management of occupational and environmental health in a high-risk mining and ore-processing environment‘. To form the basis of this research it was hypothesised that although the chemical hazards had been adequately identified, and the occupational exposures in each work area at Murrin Murrin were generally well below their respective occupational exposure levels, it was still possible that additive, or even synergistic biological effects could cause adverse respiratory health effects due to the exposure to a combination of these atmospheric contaminants. This was the perception and a concern voiced by the Murrin Murrin workforce. Therefore, in working through the hypothesis, a literature review concentrating on the gaps in current knowledge and research for the early detection of occupational respiratory diseases was conducted, and the research tool and experiment design determined. The case for using pulmonary function tests in conjunction with a respiratory questionnaire in assessing early respiratory changes due to occupational exposures was established. Over a period between 17 February 2004 and 21 June 2006, a longitudinal study was conducted to ascertain the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and lung function of employees at the Murrin Murrin Operation, and compared with a local control group consisting of catering staff who resided at the accommodation camp approximately eight kilometres from the mine site. Lung function data were also compared to established predicted normal values from a reference population with normal lung function. Lung function data were analysed to determine whether there was an effect due to the area worked, and the employee‘s length of service. The lung function parameters of the study group, corrected for age and height were compared using linear regression analysis with both the control group and the predicted normal values. Repeat lung function tests were conducted on a sample of the original study group approximately two years after the initial study and statistically analysed to determine whether there was an effect on lung function over this time period. In addition, lung function tests were conducted for a cohort of refinery workers at the start and end of their two-week work period to determine whether there was a before-and-after effect due to their working conditions. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms was less in the study group compared to the controls; and these respiratory symptoms were determined to be non-work-related. On statistical analysis, for the ‗presumed healthy‘ workers (minus the smokers and those with known non-work-related respiratory symptoms) there was no overall decrement in lung function. Similarly, there was no overall statistically significant decrement in lung function for the ‗presumed healthy‘ workers in the repeat study conducted approximately two years after the initial study. There was no decrement in lung function associated with area work; nor was there a decrement in lung function for the cohort of refinery workers from the start to completion of their two-week work period. However, there were decrements in lung function for the smokers in the study and control groups. There was a significant difference in FEV1 between non-smokers and smokers with length of service (
