Retrospective study of the impact Of environ mental factors on The occurrence of industrial Accidents In the United Arab Emirates Over a period of t e n years (1984 - 1993)

Industrial workers are practically exposed to multiple environmental factors causing accidents in work places. A retrospective study of the impact of environmental factors on the occurrence of industrial accidents was conducted during the period 1984-1993 in Dubai and Northern Emirates, to determine the impact of environmental factors on the incidence, causes of industrial accidents and the types of injuries among workers. Data were collected from the records of accidents registration in the industrial safety department of the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs in Dubai Emirate. Industrial visits have been conducted to inspect and identify the existing environmental hazards (viz. cement and cement products, building and construction, chemicals, printing and engineering industries). The total number of injured workers was 159 during the period of study. Accident frequency and accident severity rates were simultaneously increased and decreased in the years of study. The study revealed that most of the accidents (69.2%) have occurred in Dubai Emirate. The highest levels of incidence were recorded in the building and construction industry (33 .9%) as well as in the cement and cement products industry (30.2%) .The mechanical accidental factors presented the highest risk (81. 8%) followed by chemical (12.6%), electrical (3 .1%) and physical (2.5%) in the different types of industries. The high prevalence of accidents among injured workers in different types of industries could be attributed to the following socio-demographic characteristics: (i) The majority of injured workers were young (mean age ranged from 30±3.2 to 40 (years); (ii) they lacked both skill and experience (mean duration of employment was between 3.2±1.1 and 5.1±3.5 years); (iii) they did not enjoy good payment (highest mean salary per month was 1263 .3±614.4 Dirhams); most of them came from third world countries with poor health conditions and educational or background (63 .5% were Indians and 41.5% were illiterate). Study of factors affecting industrial accidents revealed the following: Falls or slips(57.2%) and falling or flying objects (23 .9%) represented the main causes of injuries.Most of accidents (93 .1%) occurred due unsafe circumstances; and (84. 9%) of accidents occurred as a result of unsafe act of the injured workers. Injuries of the upper limb (52.8%) and lower limb (18.7%) represented the common injury sites among injured workers especially wound (47.2%) and fracture (17%). The type of first aid offered among injured workers was not known in 55 .3% of cases, and dressing (18 .2%) and bandage (20.8%) were the main known first aid. Disability occurred in (21.3%) of injured workers especially in the upper and lower limbs and 24 death occurred in the period of study. Also 101 injured workers (63 .5%) were completely Recovered without residual effects. Safety training and health education programmers to minimize accidents occurrence is therefore recommended. Meanwhile, formulation of a specific sheet for industrial accident is a must to keep reliable records and good control measures to protect workers from different hazards and should always exist in the work place in different types of industries

The Study of Family Life style with Emphasis on the Instructions of the Holy Quran in Firoz-Koh City

The current research was carried out under the title of 'Studying the Family Life style with Emphasis on the Instructions of the Holy Quran in the City of Firoz-Koh in 1401.' This research has been done using a qualitative approach. The technique of gathering information is structured interviews in an individual format, reading and reviewing the narrated narratives. The target population in this research is the entire family of Firoz-Koh City, whose sample population is 18 family members, the number of children, occupation and age of marriage, which was selected using a random sampling method. The obtained data have been analyzed using the theoretical coding technique. The findings of the research show that 'life style' is one of the vital and important issues of human societies and covers various aspects of human life. On the other hand, the goal of the Holy Quran is to guide humans, and one of the most important components of guidance is life style. The comprehensiveness and immortality of the Qur'an require and have expressed what mankind needs in the path of its growth and perfection, and that is so. In this research, the importance of the family's place in the Holy Quran is mentioned, then the indicators of the Quranic life style in the family are introduced in religious, belief, moral, social and intellectual dimensions. Also, the harmful factors that hinder this family life style research have been analyzed

Relationship between psychological hardiness and self-efficacy in patients with type 2 diabetes: (The mediating role of self-esteem and social support) using structural equation modeling

According to the importance of type 2 diabetes and the variety and intensity of physical, mental, economic and social effects and factors such as psychological hardiness, self-efficacy, self-esteem, social support to manage treatment of this type of diabetes, this study is aimed in assessing the model of relationship of hardiness with self-efficacy with the mediating role of self-esteem and social support in these patients. In a cross-sectional survey, 212 patients with type 2 diabetes (90 male and 122 female) in Health Centers of Islmashahr were selected using available random sampling. The data collection was done using psychological hardiness scale, Coppersmith self-esteem inventory, self-efficacy and social support scales and the data were then analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) using Lisrel and SPSS-22 software. Correlation of main research variables were tested using Pearson correlation test and normality of variables were tested using regression analysis. Then, model fitness and coefficients of variables were measured. Most paths with significant coefficients were maintained in final model. The results obtained from the study are as follows: 1) psychological hardiness can affect self-efficacy directly 2) psychological hardiness can affect self-efficacy indirectly with the mediation of social supports and self-esteem 3) the proposed model is fit based on obtained fitness indices (GFI= 0.94; AGFI= 0.93; RMSEA= 0.032; NNFI= 0.94; SRMR= 0.031; NFI= 0.97 and IFI= 0.97). The correlations between variables in this study are mostly in consistence with the existing literature and theories. It could be concluded that variables such as psychological hardiness, self-efficacy, self-esteem and social support have been considered as effective factors to manage and treat patients with type 2 diabetes in domestic and foreign literature. The proposed model shows potential infrastructural mechanisms that can facilitate the process of treatment and better coping and even reduction of costs of the disease through training patients and their families under current social and economic conditions of Iran. Due to the applied significance of the results for clinical specialists and diabetes treatment centers, appropriate interventions are required in this filed. Paying attention to these results is important to enhance self-care behaviors of diabetes, reduction of complications and reduction of relevant costs and more importantly, general health of society
