The unsafe behavior of workers causing work injuries and accidents is an important concern the world so it embraced by psychological physical measurements. study aims to analyze workload employees in quality control (QC) division, measured National Aeronautics Space Administration Task Load Index (NASA-TLX) method, based on percentage Cardiovascular (% CVL) 15 QC division. research step was car...

Driving simulators are becoming a common research tool for investigating driver behavior in safe, controlled environments. Wide ranges of simulator configurations are available for research—this wide range, as well as and the complexity of the virtual worlds being driven, has not been studied for specific effects on driver response. This study examined driver behaviors in virtual scenarios with...

This research examined the training effectiveness of utilizing a virtual world simulation within an operationally relevant task domain and environment. Virtual world simulation-based training is becoming more common for military training due to recent simulation technological advancements. However, there remains a paucity of research examining this class of simulation's training effectiveness. ...

BACKGROUND: Fatigue and workload experienced by aircraft de-icing personnel have been largely neglected in occupational health and safety research. OBJECTIVE: To provide an initial assessment of fatigue and workload among de-icing ground crews. METHODS: Company records were used to reveal possible relationships between different variables (age, seniority, truck type, and work shift). A group of...

Nuclear receptors comprise a large and expanding family of transcription factors involved in diverse aspects of animal physiology and development, the functions of which can be modulated in a spatial and temporal manner by access to small lipophilic ligands and/or the specificity of their own localized expression. Here we report the identification of a human nuclear receptor that reveals a uniq...

OBJECTIVE To assess the effect of vision in three dimensions (3D) versus two dimensions (2D) on mental workload and laparoscopic performance during simulation-based training. MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective, randomized crossover study on inexperienced students in operative laparoscopy was conducted. Forty-six candidates executed five standardized exercises on a pelvitrainer with both visi...

BACKGROUND This study assessed the reduction in surgeon stress associated with savings in procedure time for mechanical fixation of an intraperitoneal onlay mesh (IPOM) compared to a traditional suture fixation in open ventral hernia repair. STUDY DESIGN Nine general surgeons performed 36 open IPOM fixation procedures in porcine model. Each surgeon conducted two mechanical (using ETHICON SECU...
