The objective of this study was to musculoskeletal disorders among SOGEAC handlers. Methodology: This was a descriptive and analytic cross-sectional study over 6 months from November 2021 to April 2022. Results: We collected 110 handlers during the study. All of our population had postural constraints and were men. The average age of workers was 39.2 years. 93 handlers or 84.5% did manual handling, and 79% or 71.8% were baggage handlers. Regarding training, 88.2% or 97 handlers were trained, and 89.1% did alternating work. The standing posture was the most adopted with 89.1% followed by the kneeling position with 66.4%. 89.1% carried weights at work. 80 handlers or 73% had developed musculoskeletal disorders and the lumbar seat was found at 70%. The analysis of factors that may influence the occurrence of musculoskeletal disorders did not find any statistically significant relation. Conclusion: Our study shows that musculoskeletal disorders are an occupational health problem and recommends better compliance with occupational safety and health instructions.展开更多

To avoid the discomfort of direct monitoring, the dyna- mometer system was designed based on 12 string-gauge bridges instrumented on a standard walker frame. The detailed positions of these bridges were determined according to the deformation distri- butions of the walker frame under different directional components of HRV. To adapt the system to quantitative and reliable measurement, a redundant-optimized technique was developed in calibra- tion. The measurement accuracy, nonlinearity. and crosstalk of the designed system were investi- gated, which were better than 1.01%. 2.91%, and 3.19% respectively. Clinical trials were done with 6 paraplegic subjects using the system and one case was given as the example of actual mea- surement. All experiment and clinical trial results show that this method is reliable and practicable.展开更多

The activity towards wool of a non-specific endoprotease (Novolan L) was shown to bemuch greater in buffer containing a reducing agent (so-dium sulphite). The balance between protease and sodi-um sulphite concentrations was studied in order to reducethe amount of enzyme required.展开更多

Handle of two kinds of pure cotton poplin, one of which is made of the keratin transgenic cotton while the other is made of the ordinary cotton of the same breed as control group and both with absolutely identical spinning, weaving, and dyeing process, was objectively evaluated with KES system. The result of analysis indicates that the principal changes of keratin transgenic cotton fabric are that the bending and shearing property of the fabric are considerably enhanced, KOSHI (Stiffness) and HARI (Anti-drape stiffness) of the fabric are good, while SHINAYAKASA (Flexibility with soft feeling) and SHARI (Crispness) decline.展开更多
Let M be a hyperbolic 3-mauifold with boundary. Suppose that α and β are two separating slopes on the same component of δM. We shall prove that if both M[α] and M[β] are reducible, then △(α,β) ≤ 8.
