Background: Today, with the development of technology, the presence and role of human resources has been highlighted in industrial environments. Hence, the importance of safety culture is growing. Mining is the one of the most dangerous occupations. Therefore, this study was performed to determine the effect of health, safety, and environment management system (HSE-MS) on safety climate in one ...

Semi-transparent photovoltaic (STPV) windows, one of the building façade elements, can generate electricity and provide a certain amount daylight for occupants. Nevertheless, expensive cost unsatisfying indoor performance in room are common problems with STPV windows. This study investigates thermal, daylight, energy, life-cycle windows by considering varied window-to-wall ratios, orientations,...

Abstract The accelerating pace of climate-induced stress to global ecosystems threatens the sustainable management and conservation biodiversity. To effectively respond, researchers managers require rapid vulnerability assessment tools that can be readily implemented using diverse existing knowledge sources. Here we demonstrate application multi-criteria analysis (MCA) for this purpose a group ...

Despite serving as the principal basis of U.S. climate policy over the past two decades, corporate voluntary environmental programs have been subject to quite limited evaluation. The self-selection of participants—an essential element of such initiatives—poses particular challenges to researchers because the decision to participate may not be random and, in fact, may be correlated with the outc...

BACKGROUND Heat-related mortality is a matter of great public health concern, especially in the light of climate change. Although many studies have found associations between high temperatures and mortality, more research is needed to project the future impacts of climate change on heat-related mortality. OBJECTIVES We conducted a systematic review of research and methods for projecting futur...
