Teamworking has become a key issue in efforts to develop working life and workplaces. In the research literature, several approaches to teamworking have been introduced. A major line of research strategy has been to compare two alternatives, the Japanese model vs. the Swedish model (Berggren 1993), for example. The literature represents various theoretical angles, including the sociotechnical s...

GNSS, InSAR and LIDAR are identified as important techniques when it comes to monitoring and remote sensing of our planet Earth and its atmosphere. In fact, these techniques can be considered as key elements of the Global Geodetic Observing System. Examples of applications are: environmental monitoring; volcano monitoring, land slides, tectonic motion, deforming structures, atmosphere modeling,...

The guidelines on the management of hypertension released by European and US Task Forces in 2013 and 2014 recommend target blood pressure (BP) levels below 140/90 mm Hg in most hypertensive patients, with higher values (<150/90 mm Hg) in the elderly. However, recent randomized trials as well as new metaanalyses of the available data have obtained results that are not consistent with these recom...

Introduction. The article contributes to conceptual studies of information behaviour research by examining the conceptualisations of information seeking and related terms such as information search and browsing. Method. The study builds on Bates' integrated model of information seeking and searching, originally presented in 2002. The model was slightly elaborated, resulting in the identificatio...

Number of accidents during driving is increasing day by day and drowsy driving has been implicated as a causal factor in many accidents. Goal of driver drowsiness detection systems is to reduce these accidents. It has been seen that most of the accidents occur due to driver’s fatigue and a small due to inattention factor, therefore this paper reviews driver’s fatigue monitoring techniques in de...

15 Abstract Arterial hypertension on the day of surgery is a frequently encountered phenomenon nowadays. In many patients, correction of the elevated blood pressure (BP) helps to avoid serious complications and improves perioperative safety. However, there is no general agreement on whether all patients presenting with high BP will benefit from an antihypertensive therapy prior to the start of...

Modern cyber physical systems (CPSs) are becoming more and more vulnerable to security related attacks, due to the growing number of interconnectivity and standardized communication channels. This evolution make the traditional approaches considering the safety and security domains as two disjunctive areas obsolete. In this paper we propose state/event fault tree for modeling and analyzing the ...

The objective of this study is to develop and analyze a nonlinear suspended energy harvester (NSEH) that can be mounted on a rotating wheel. The device comprises a permanent magnet as a mass in the kinetic system, two springs, and two coil sets. The mass vibrates along the transverse direction because of the variations in gravitational force. This research establishes nonlinear vibration equati...

The unnecessary long cross road waiting times for pedestrians is due to the inefficient traffic light system configuration and has led to the increasing number of traffic accidents involving pedestrians. This research designs, develops, constructs and tests the pedestrian monitoring approach to elevate the efficiency of traffic lights system configuration. This approach consists of two phases w...
