Any workplace implies a greater or lesser number of occupational hazards, respectively workers are exposed to risks, putting their health in danger. If we talk about industrial environments (construction, energy, metallurgy, textiles, wood, etc.), these hazards found extent, often exceeding the allowable limit, but pollutants such as dust suspension and microclimate parameters can also be offic...

This paper uses three methodologies for measuring the existence of systemic risk in Colombian banking system. The determination its is based on implementing measures widely referenced academic works after subprime crisis, known as CoVaR, MES and SRISK. Together, were implemented case Banks during 2008–2017 period. findings allow us to establish that sector did not present a scenario, despite ha...

BACKGROUND Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with increased coronary risk, and it has been suggested that homocysteine screening may provide a method to identify high-risk patients for aggressive primary prevention. METHODS AND RESULTS Homocysteine was measured at baseline and after 1 year among 5569 participants in the Air Force/Texas Coronary Atherosclerosis Prevention Study (AFCA...

4 Risk assessment methods based on scoring methods that rate the 5 severity of each risk factor on an ordinal scale are widely used and 6 frequently perceived by users to have value. We argue that this 7 perceived benefit is probably illusory in most cases. We begin by 8 describing a number of common scoring methods currently used to 9 assess risk in a variety of different domains. We then revi...

This paper tests how subjects behave in an intertemporal consumption/saving experiment when borrowing is allowed and whether subjects treat debt differently than savings. Two treatments create environments where either saving or borrowing is required for optimal consumption. Since both treatments share the same optimal consumption levels, observed consumption choices can be directly compared ac...

In order to evaluate the construction accident risk, a novel method integrating principal component analysis (PCA) and the unascertained number algorithm with the synthesis weights is presented. According to humanmachine engineering, the multi-index and hierarchical system of accident risk in construction projects was built. PCA is applied to find relevant factors of the accident risk, which ar...

BACKGROUND People with schizophrenia frequently have physical comorbidities that can cause pain. Experimental studies report reduced pain sensitivity among schizophrenia patients, but it remains unclear if clinically relevant pain is less prevalent in schizophrenia. METHOD We systematically searched major electronic databases from inception till 03/2014. Articles were included that reported t...
