ABSTRACT
This COVID-19 study uses a new way of looking at data to shed light on important topics and societal problems. After digesting specific interpretations, experts' points of view are looked at: We'll study and categorize these subfields based on their importance and influence in the academic world. Web-based education, cutting-edge technologies, AI, dashboards, social networking, network security, industry titans (including blockchain), safety, and inventions will be discussed. By combining chest X-ray images with machine learning, the article views provide element breadth, ideal understanding, critical issue detection, and hypothesis and practice concepts. We've used machine learning techniques in COVID-19 to help manage the pandemic flow and stop infections. Statistics show that the hybrid strategy is better than traditional ones. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
The mental health discourse need not involve the creation or invention of a whole new experience or dogma. When workers feel respected, valued, cared for and viewed holistically, rather than as "cogs in a system," the natural outflow will be mental health- "state of someone functioning at a satisfactory level of cognitive, emotional and behavioral adjustment." (U.K. OSH adviser, personal communication, 2022) In a social context, the safety and health team may facilitate a psychosocial hazard identification and risk assessment process, but the follow-up actions are likely to relate to people management systems. [...]this responsibility could sit with line management, human resources or an organizational effectiveness group.
ABSTRACT
Objectives: Prior publications on pediatric firearm-related injuries have emphasized significant social disparities. The pandemic has heightened a variety of these societal stresses. We sought to evaluate how we must now adapt our injury prevention strategies. Patients and methods: Firearm-related injuries in children 15 years old and under at five urban level 1 trauma centers between January 2016 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, race/ethnicity, Injury Severity Score, situation, timing of injury around school/curfew, and mortality were evaluated. Medical examiner data identified additional deaths. Results: There were 615 injuries identified including 67 from the medical examiner. Overall, 80.2% were male with median age of 14 years (range 0-15; IQR 12-15). Black children comprised 77.2% of injured children while only representing 36% of local schools. Community violence (intentional interpersonal or bystander) injuries were 67.2% of the cohort; 7.8% were negligent discharges; and 2.6% suicide. Median age for intentional interpersonal injuries was 14 years (IQR 14-15) compared with 12 years (IQR 6-14, p<0.001) for negligent discharges. Far more injuries were seen in the summer after the stay-at-home order (p<0.001). Community violence and negligent discharges increased in 2020 (p=0.004 and p=0.04, respectively). Annual suicides also increased linearly (p=0.006). 5.5% of injuries were during school; 56.7% after school or during non-school days; and 34.3% were after legal curfew. Mortality rate was 21.3%. Conclusions: Pediatric firearm-related injuries have increased during the past 5 years. Prevention strategies have not been effective during this time interval. Prevention opportunities were identified specifically in the preteenage years to address interpersonal de-escalation training, safe handling/storage, and suicide mitigation. Efforts directed at those most vulnerable need to be reconsidered and examined for their utility and effectiveness. Level of evidence: Level III; epidemiological study type.
ABSTRACT
In Australia, rates of suicide and poor mental health among construction workers were high before the COVID-19 pandemic. "Lock downs”, "restrictions”, "social distancing” and legislative changes responding to the pandemic have likely exacerbated the working conditions that foster poor mental health. This study analyses the way in which workplace health and safety (WHS) is regulated in Australia against the backdrop of existing research relating to the development of Australia's WHS laws, and the state of mental health of those working in Australia's construction industry. This study was conducted using a doctrinal research methodology and utilising legal theory. This study assesses the capacity of the Australian WHS regulatory system to protect construction workers' mental health by examining and interpreting key provisions in Australia's WHS laws. It then uses a regulatory theory, responsive regulation, to explain the inconsistency between the capacity of those laws to safeguard mental health and the very poor state of mental health of Australia's construction workers. The conclusion reached is that there is scope to improve current WHS laws to better protect construction workers' mental health. A recommendation is made, that current WHS laws are changed to prescribe minimum standards of worker mental health, and mandate control measures to minimise and/or eliminate psychosocial risks. It is submitted that these changes in the law will contribute to a changed culture in Australia's construction sector, which is supportive of mentally healthy workplaces and workers. © 2023 The Author(s).

ABSTRACT
Purpose: Given the high incidence of injury duringmarathon training, a better understanding of the factors associated with injury is needed. The purpose of the study was to investigate an expanded set of baseline factors of marathon runners to determine the association with injury during training. Method(s): Adult registrants of the 2022 New York City Marathon were recruited by email for a 16-week observational study. The baseline survey included demographics, running/injury/COVID history, race goal, orthotic use, grit scale, risk-taking scale, injury risk self-assessment, happiness and life satisfaction scales, and perceived risks of running. Injury surveys were collected weekly during training. Result(s): A total of 894 runners registered for the study and were uninjured at the start of the study. Average age was 44.5 years (standard deviation 11.8), 55% were female, and 76% had previously participated in a marathon. During the 16 weeks before the race, 221 of 894 (24.7%) experienced an injury, including 36 of 894 (4.0%) who did not participate in the race. Each of the baseline factors were assessed in a logistic regression model controlling for age, sex, body mass index, base weekly mileage, and number of prior marathons. The baseline factors associated with injury were orthotic use (odds ratio [OR] 1.75, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.12-2.74, P = 0.01), happiness (OR 0.71, 95% CI 0.58-0.88, P = 0.001), and injury risk self-assessment (OR 1.13 for each 10% selfassessed risk, 95% CI 1.05-1.21, P = 0.001). There was no association with age, sex, body mass index, running/injury/ COVID history, race goal, grit, risk-taking behavior, life satisfaction, and perceived risks of running. Conclusion(s): Although age, sex, experience, and history of injury have been previously identified as risk factors for running-related injury, this was not the case in this large cohort of runners training for a marathon. Instead, orthotic use and self-assessed risk of injury were associated with higher rates of injury training, and a higher level of happiness was associated with lower rates of injury. Significance: The results show the value of a comprehensive running injury risk assessment, which could be standardized to facilitate comparative research. Accounting for these factors is important when assessing future injury prevention interventions.
ABSTRACT
Background: When the COVID-19 pandemic intersected with the longstanding global pandemic of traumatic injury, it exacerbated racial and ethnic disparities in injury burden. As Milwaukee, Wisconsin is a racially diverse yet segregated urban city due to historic and ongoing systemic efforts, this populace provided an opportunity to further characterize injury disparities. Method(s): We analyzed trauma registry data from the only adult Level 1 trauma center in Milwaukee, WI before and during the COVID-19 pandemic (N = 19,908 patients from 2015-2021). We retrospectively fit seasonal ARIMA models to monthly injury counts to determine baseline injury burden pre-COVID-19 (Jan 2015-Mar 2020). This baseline data was used to forecast injury by race and ethnicity from April 2020 to December 2021 and was compared to actual injury counts. Result(s): For all mechanisms of injury (MOI), counts during the pandemic were significantly higher than forecasted for Black or African American (mean absolute percentage error, MAPE = 23.17) and Hispanic or Latino (MAPE = 26.67) but not White patients (MAPE = 12.72). Increased injury for Black or African American patients was driven by increases in motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and firearm-related injury;increased injury for Hispanic or Latino patients was driven by falls and MVCs. Conclusion(s): The exacerbation of injury burden disparities during COVID-19, particularly in specific MOI, underscores the need for primary injury prevention within specific overburdened communities. Injury prevention requires intervention through social determinants of health, including addressing the impact of structural racism, as primary drivers of injury burden disparities.Copyright © The Author(s) 2023.
ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 pandemic, authorities in many places have implemented various countermeasures, including setting up a cordon sanitaire to restrict population movement. This paper proposes a bi-level programming model to deploy a limited number of parallel checkpoints at each entry link around the cordon sanitaire to achieve a minimum total waiting time for all travelers. At the lower level, it is a transportation network equilibrium with queuing for a fixed travel demand and given road network. The feedback process between trip distribution and trip assignment results in the predicted waiting time and traffic flow for each entry link. For the lower-level model, the method of successive averages is used to achieve a network equilibrium with queuing for any given allocation decision from the upper level, and the reduced gradient algorithm is used for traffic assignment with queuing. At the upper level, it is a queuing network optimization model. The objective is the minimization of the system's total waiting time, which can be derived from the predicted traffic flow and queuing delay time at each entry link from the lower-level model. Since it is a nonlinear integer programming problem that is hard to solve, a genetic algorithm with elite strategy is designed. An experimental study using the Nguyen-Dupuis road network shows that the proposed methods effectively find a good heuristic optimal solution. Together with the findings from two additional sensitivity tests, the proposed methods are beneficial for policymakers to determine the optimal deployment of cordon sanitaire given limited resources. © National Academy of Sciences: Transportation Research Board 2021.
ABSTRACT
Purpose of study COVID-19 has shifted the utilization of health care resources. Gaps remain in our understanding on how COVID-19 affects trends in pediatric trauma, the leading cause of mortality and morbidity during childhood and adolescence. We identified trends in the numbers and types of traumas presenting to a Level 1 Pediatric Trauma Center during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to prior years. Methods used We compared high acuity trauma visits (defined as traumas requiring admission, emergent surgical intervention or resulting in a fatality) presenting between January 1st and August 31st, 2020 to corresponding months in 2017-2019. We also evaluated the changes in mechanisms of injury during this time period. Data were analyzed using longitudinal time series analyses and t-tests. Summary of results Of 480 traumas presenting from January to August 2020, 227 (47.3%, 95%CI 42.7%-51.9%) were high acuity traumas. High acuity traumas declined significantly, as a state of emergency was declared, to a nadir of 16 in April 2020 (compared to the 2017-2019 mean of 38.3, p<0.001). As restrictions were lifted, high acuity traumas increased and surpassed previous years to a peak of 40 visits in August 2020 (2017-2019 mean 35.7, p<0.001). High acuity traumas as a proportion of total Emergency Department visits were higher from March to August 2020 compared to prior years (figure 1). There were more visits for high acuity assaults and child abuse but fewer for falls, drownings, and motor vehicle accidents from March to August 2020 compared to prior years, while visits for animal attacks remained stable Conclusions This analysis provides insight into how the COVID-19 pandemic has affected high acuity trauma in an inner-city pediatric population. Findings may be used to guide public health measures on safety and injury prevention as the pandemic continues and further restrictions are debated. (Figure Presented).
ABSTRACT
The widespread increase in the recreational use of trampolines by children can be partially explained by the recent need to stay indoors during lockdowns due to the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. At the same time, there was a global increase in the number of pediatric accidents resulting from the domestic use of these devices. The resulting injuries may be severe, especially in younger age groups. Although the use of trampolines by children is discouraged in safety recommendations published by several scientific societies and some recent studies, there is still concern about the lack of knowledge about the risks of trampoline-related injuries. In this regard, this review article aimed to highlight the unique role of the pediatrician and/ or family physician advising parents and caregivers as well as the general population to prevent trampoline-related accidents involving children. © Author(s) (or their employer(s)) and Portuguese Journal of Pediatrics 2023.
ABSTRACT
This study analyzes crash data from 2016 to 2020 on a National Highway in Maharashtra, India. The impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the road crashes of the study area is presented, and recommendations to improve road safety are proposed. The crash data is collected from the "National Highways Authority of India, Kolhapur” from 2016 to 2020, and the information is classified into three scenarios: Before Lockdown, After Lockdown, and Strict Lockdown. The crash data is analyzed under three scenarios for seven different classifications followed by their sub-classifications. The time-wise analysis of crash data is performed in four-time slots, namely 00:00–05:59 AM, 06:00–11:59 AM, 12:00–17:59 PM, and 18:00–23:59 PM. The season-wise analysis of crash data is performed in three seasons: Summer, Monsoon, and Winter. The crashes that occurred on 2-lane-straight roads having T-junction are more than 90% in all three scenarios. The significant factors responsible for crashes are "Head-on collision,” "Vehicle out of control,” and "Overspeeding.” Most crashes (more than 36%) occurred between 12:00 and 17:59 PM and in the Summer season (more than 42%) in all three scenarios. The crashes in the COVID-19 "Strict Lockdown” scenario witnessed a fall of 254.55% compared to 2019 and 2018. Surprisingly, there was a rise of 137.5% and a fall of 127.27% in crashes of the COVID-19 2020 "Strict Lockdown” scenario, compared to 2017 and 2016, respectively. The crashes under the sub-classifications "Right angle collision” and "Fatal” increased in 2020 compared to the previous 4 years due to the impact of COVID-19. © 2023, The Author(s).
ABSTRACT
The massive spread of COVID-19 and the crash of China Eastern Airlines MU5735 have negatively impacted the public's perception of civil aviation safety, which further affects the progress of the civil aviation industry and economic growth. The aim of research is to investigate the public's perception of China's civil aviation safety and give the authorities corresponding suggestions. First, we use online comment collection and sentiment analysis techniques to construct a novel evaluation index system reflecting the public's greatest concern for civil aviation safety. Then, we propose two novel large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) models for aggregating evaluation: (1) K-means clustering with a novel distance measure for evaluators combined with unsupervised K-means clustering in two-stage, (2) unsupervised K-means clustering for evaluators combined with unsupervised K-means clustering for processing evaluation in two-stage. Finally, we compare the characteristics of different models and use the average of the two models as the final evaluation results. © 2023, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to Taiwan Fuzzy Systems Association.
ABSTRACT
Increasing disposable income of society and the individual., time-saving attitude., health safety (during COVID-19)., and innovation have increased consumer inclination from offline to online food delivery (OFD). Before COVID-19., eating out the home was the fashion and hangout., but after COVID-19., consumers feel safe while sitting at home. This study aims to explore the pre and current publications on online food delivery., find out the most studied country in OFD., find out the top-cited research publications in OFD., and find out the most dominant research terms in OFD. The present study reviews previous research published during the last 11 years (2012-March 2022) extracted from the www.dimensions.ai free web app. A drastic increase in publications since 2020 explains researchers' inclination toward the OFD. Two hundred twenty research articles were published during the pandemic out of 253 published in the last 11 years. The maximum researched country in OFD is the United States., followed by India and the United Kingdom. The most cited research publication has 255 citations. The most visible keywords in the present study were 'Zomato.,' followed by 'SEM' and 'OFD.' The present study has some limitations., like the database used in the study (dimensions) may not be as good as Scopus or WoS., which may give a better result. More study is required to understand the OFD topic and its survival. It is recommended that the catering industry take OFD as an opportunity along with the regular business generated through steady footfall of the customer/guest. It can be improved through proper logistics., software support., and merging with artificial intelligence. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
A fall in third age triggers a domino effect of consequences that are recognized by specialists as leading causes of further falls. After the first event, the post-fall syndrome onsets: a pathological fear of falling that affects quality of life. It leads to loss of self-efficacy, sedentarism, musculoskeletal weakening, reduced mobility, postural insufficiency, gait disorders, isolation and depression—all acknowledged as fall risk factors. Specialists agreed that the most effective approach to prevent new episodes is to restore confident postures and good alignments. This paper presents the first design stages of a soft-actuated re-educational garment for remote post-fall rehabilitation in female users. The objective is to i) restore postural control by providing a gentle pressure stimulus, suggesting corrections when poor body alignments are detected;ii) restore the perceived self-efficacy;iii) promote physical activity by motion monitoring and providing daily reports through a patient-therapist smartphone app. To date, we have tested a soft body-postures detection system by cross-checking data from a network of e-textile stretch sensors, along with a pneumatic actuator system around the user's torso providing a targeted pressure stimulus to correct bad habits. Tests have been run on a limited number of users due to the Covid-19 emergency. Data are not yet statistically conclusive but suggest the way to a new dimensional approach, both for rehabilitation and prevention. © 2023, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
ABSTRACT
Oil industry construction is a very high risk from a safety and health perspective. Thousands of workers die while working in onshore oil refineries and pipeline projects worldwide, and despite many advancements in research and technology, fatal injuries are still happening. Construction products involving oil refineries and pipelines always need successful strategies in mitigating health and safety risks. After the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the industry became more conscious of increasing workers' safety on construction sites. The lack of a comprehensive literature review involving raking and prioritization of critical health and safety risk factors is the reason behind conducting a new secondary study. This study aimed to show the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) on risk analysis of health and safety issues construction workers face in onshore oil refineries and pipeline construction projects. The SLR methodology involved searching and reviewing the most relevant research papers from the perspective of safety risk factors and proven mitigation techniques. The SLR involves 30 research papers that are of high significance from 2011 to 2022. Fifteen health and safety risk factors are ranked according to arguments from previous studies, with falling from height at the top and scaffolding failure at the lowest position. The successful mitigation techniques are discussed in the existing literature, and the study provides positive theoretical and practical implications for the workers in oil refinery and pipeline construction projects. © 2022 IEEE.
ABSTRACT
Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a serious public health issue with a substantial burden on society. Screening and intervention practices vary widely and there are no standard guidelines. Our objective was to review research on current practices for IPV prevention in emergency departments and trauma centers in the USA and provide evidenced-based recommendations. Methods: An evidence-based systematic review of the literature was conducted to address screening and intervention for IPV in adult trauma and emergency department patients. The Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluations methodology was used to determine the quality of evidence. Studies were included if they addressed our prespecified population, intervention, control, and outcomes questions. Case reports, editorials, and abstracts were excluded from review. Results: Seven studies met inclusion criteria. All seven were centered around screening for IPV; none addressed interventions when abuse was identified. Screening instruments varied across studies. Although it is unclear if one tool is more accurate than others, significantly more victims were identified when screening protocols were implemented compared with non-standardized approaches to identifying IPV victims. Conclusion: Overall, there were very limited data addressing the topic of IPV screening and intervention in emergency medical settings, and the quality of the evidence was low. With likely low risk and a significant potential benefit, we conditionally recommend implementation of a screening protocol to identify victims of IPV in adults treated in the emergency department and trauma centers. Although the purpose of screening would ultimately be to provide resources for victims, no studies that assessed distinct interventions met our inclusion criteria. Therefore, we cannot make specific recommendations related to IPV interventions. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42020219517.
ABSTRACT
Our cars make our everyday life much easier. With their help, in a day full of programs, we can get anywhere on time without carrying our packages on our own. In our rushing world, there is the probability that even if we have enough time to get there somewhere, we will hurry, which leads to inattention or worse case an accident. Car manufacturers have a huge amount of research projects to install driver-assistance safety electronics into our cars that, even if they are not driving, instead of the driver, alert to an accident and help to avoid a stutter or a life-threatening accident. According to the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), research on car manufacturers has brought significant results, as while in 1990 there were nearly 37,000 accidents involving personal injuries on the roads, in 2020 there were only 18,000 such accidents. However, in addition to these active and passive safety features, we need to be aware of and follow the written and unwritten rules of road safety. However, the number of passenger cars has increased so significantly in the last 20–25 years—but especially in the last two years due to the coronavirus epidemic—as roads are characterized by such a high degree of congestion that pedestrians and cyclists require much more attention from participants. This way it is important children receive proper education on the rules of walking or cycling at nursery school and preschool age. The aim of the study is to enumerate and present the platforms that help children to learn, know and deepen the rules of safe traffic. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
Purpose: This study aims to investigate technology-based health and safety (H&S) management to control the spread of disease on construction sites using a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) approach. Design/methodology/approach: An extensive literature review is conducted to develop a conceptual framework. The variables identified from the literature review are included in a cross-sectional survey which gathered a total of 203 valid feedback. The variables for challenges are grouped under their relevant construct using exploratory factor analysis. Then, a hypothesized model is developed for PLS-SEM analysis using Smart PLS software. Later, the outcome of the model is further validated by nine construction experts using a semi-structured questionnaire survey. Findings: The results rationalized the relationships between the COVID-19 H&S measures, challenges in implementing COVID-19 H&S measures on construction sites and the innovative technologies in transforming construction H&S management during the COVID-19 pandemic. The possible challenges that obstruct the implementation of H&S measures are highlighted. The potential technologies which can significantly transform H&S management by reducing the impact of challenges are presented. Practical implications: The findings benefited the industry practitioners who are suffering disruption in construction operations due to the pneumonic plague. Originality/value: By developing a conceptual model, this study reveals the contribution of technology-based H&S management for construction projects during the COVID-19 pandemic, which remains under-studied, especially in the context of the developing world. © 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Introduction With the normalization of the prevention and control of the covid-19 epidemic, the proportion of outdoor sports in sports has gradually increased, but the risks have increased, resulting in joint injuries. Objective Explore the prevention of joint injuries in outdoor sports under the influence of covid-19. Methods 88 men and 64 women with ankle injuries, 45 men and 33 women with knee injuries, for a total of 133 men and 97 women volunteers were investigated by questionnaire, which included joint injuries, causes of injuries, and treatment methods after joint injuries, and the data were analyzed. Results Currently, most joint injuries in outdoor sports belong to minor injuries, which can recover after some minor readjustments and will not cause much impact on the sportsmen. However, there are also some serious injuries. Conclusion The athletes themselves must be fully prepared, including the use of protective gear and equipment, psychological adjustment, and learning knowledge about sports protection. Coaches and volunteers should give scientifically based and sensible guidance according to the actual situation of the sportsmen to reduce the incidence of joint injuries as much as possible.

ABSTRACT
Due to the decrease in GNI per capita, the Indonesian government has launched its national economic recovery program in response to the COVID-19 emergency crisis, known as the New Normal and ordered to partially resume on-hold infrastructure projects followed by the implementation of a new, integrated COVID-19 health protocol. This research presents a study of health protocol standard implementation in the construction industry with the aim of formulating recommendations for minimum criteria elements that can be used for construction services companies at all levels. The domain-taxonomy analysis approach was used as the research method: the ISO/PAS 45005:2020 and ILO standards were adapted to Ministerial Regulation of PUPR No. 10 Year 2020. A gap analysis was conducted with Singapore, Malaysia, and Australia. The analysis generated four segregated main groups of elements with level-2 sub criteria. The main groups of elements were: Planning, Prevention, Handling, and Control and Evaluation. These criteria were validated and implemented in a case study of state-owned construction enterprises, here called PT. X and PT. Y, with large, qualified construction companies. From the implementation analysis it was found that PT. X and PT. Y had implemented the minimum criteria of the COVID-19 health protocol for construction workers very well. © 2022 Published by ITB Institute for Research and Community Services.
