This paper aims to show and to discuss some results of a large-time resarch upon the ergonomics problems of fishing in Cabo Frio, 200 km north far from Rio de Janeiro city. By working in a combined Ergonomic Action, Research-Action and Design Methodology perspective, we've looked for establishing the requisites and restraints concerning fishing boat projects, focusing the aspect of habitableness in a sea ambience, because the fishing boat is the workplace in this environment, and that makes it different from boats related to charge or people sea transport.

Occupational Fatigue

Extensive research has been conducted to study the effects of physical and sleep related fatigue on occupational health and safety. However, fatigue is a complex multidimensional construct, that is task- and occupation-dependent, and our knowledge on how to measure this complex construct is limited. A scoping review was conducted to: 1) review sensors and their metrics currently employed in occupational fatigue studies, 2) identify overlap between sensors and associated metrics that can be leveraged to assess comprehensive fatigue, 3) investigating the effectiveness of the sensors/metrics, and 4) recommended potential sensor/metric combinations to evaluate comprehensive fatigue. 512 unique abstracts were identified through Ovid-MEDLINE, MEDLINE, Embase and Cinal databases and application of the inclusion/exclusion criteria resulted in 27 articles that were included for the review. Heart rate sensors and actigraphs were identified to be the most suitable devices to study comprehensive fatigue. Heart rate trend within the heart rate sensor, and sleep length and sleep efficiency within actigraphs were found to be the most popular and reliable metrics for measuring occupational fatigue.

Objective. Our purpose was to evaluate factors associated with preterm birth among a national sample of U.S. nurses. Study Design. We conducted a case-control study of 210 nurses whose infants were delivered prematurely (<37 weeks) (cases) and 1260 nurses whose infants were delivered at term (≥37 weeks) (controls). An occupational fatigue score was constructed from four sources and varied from 0 to 4. The relation between occupational activity (including hours working and fatigue score) and preterm birth was analyzed with the use of Pearson χ2 tests, estimates of odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals, and multivariate logistic regression; we controlled for confounding factors. Results. Factors significantly associated with preterm birth included hours worked per week (P < .002), per shift (P < .001), and while standing (P < .001); noise (P = .005); physical exerton (P = .01); and occupational fatigue score (P < .002). The adjusted odds ratios were 1.6 (P = .006) for hours worked per week (≤36 vs ≶ 36) and 1.4 (P = .02) for fatigue score <3 vs ≥3. Conclusions. Preterm birth among working women may be related to hours worked per day or week and to adverse working conditions.

This study entitled “Determining Region Galunggung in District Sukaratu As Strategic Area Nature”. The purpose of this policy is to increase the activity of the business world in the tourism sector in KGG - KS so as to improve the regional economic growth both on a district or on a regional scale Tasikmalaya regency. The method used in this research is action research (action research) using a qualitative approach. Results of the study were divided into four categories: problem identification, determination of the terms of problem solving, determination of alternative policy formulation and determination of the alternative selected as the end result of this policy formulation. Official data are not obtained, shall be carried out exploration data / information through other means in order to identify the problems become whole / full. In this research, a lack of data / information that is experienced by the researchers can be overcome because there is input from the community although its accuracy is lower. Meanwhile, the establishment of technical provisions troubleshooting is done based on a reference from the rules of the policy object. Each process / stages of policy formulation are not always able to generate a specific output. Determination of the technical provisions of Resolution “or the theory of public policy referred to as” the evaluation criteria Resolution “is one very important part in the process of policy formulation.
