Identification And Quantification

A methodology has been developed and demonstrated which is capable of determining total amounts of asbestos fibers and fibrils in air ranging from as low as fractional nanograms per cubic meter (ng/m3) of air to several micrograms/m3. The method involves the collection of samples on an absolute filter and provides an unequivocal identification and quantification of the total asbestos contents including fibrils in the collected samples.The developed method depends on the trituration under controlled conditions to reduce the fibers to fibrils, separation of the asbestos fibrils from other collected air particulates (beneficiation), and the use of transmission microscopy for identification and quantification. Its validity has been tested by comparative analyses by neutron activation techniques. It can supply the data needed to set emissions criteria and to serve as a basis for assessing the potential hazard for asbestos pollution to the populace.

Steep Slopes

Karanganyar District is a hilly area with steep slopes, rock constituent of young volcanic deposits of Lawu Volcano products, thick soil and relatively high rainfall, so it is potential for large landslides in this region. The landuse in the Karanganyar District including the Tengklik Village is generally dominated by rice fields, seasonal gardens and settlements. Plantation made up in areas with steep topography has great influence on erosion and landslides. Similarly, many settlements are built on a slope so that the area is very vulnerable to the threat of landslides. In the rainy season landslides are common. The potential hazard of landslidesoccurred in 14 sub districts in Karanganyar District. Large landslides have occurred in Karanganyar on December 26, 2007 which claimed the lives of 62 people, with the greatest victims were in the Ledoksari Village, Tawangmangu. The Tengklik Village has already experienced creep type landslides, which have destroyed settlements, roads, seasonalgardens and all existing infrastructure in the area. In order to do the proper handling and anticipation of a catastrophic landslide, a variety of technological applications landslides using geographic information system (GIS) was then carried out, to detect the configuration of 2D geoelectrical subsurface prone areas for landslide risk study and regional planning.

Background: Veterinary work is considered high risk and involves working with a range of hazards including large animals, high workload and long hours. A key potential hazard is making home visits and providing out of hours emergency care where vets often work alone, without support, and must travel long distances. The current study aimed to examine UK veterinary perceptions of safety climate, lone working and on-call tasks to gain a deeper understanding of the risk and hazards involved. Method: An online mixed-methods survey was used to gather quantitative data relevant to practice safety climate, and qualitative data regarding veterinary perception of lone working and on-call work. A sample of 76 UK veterinarians were recruited.Results: The quantitative results suggest that there may be practice safety climate issues around a lack of communication and discussion pertaining to safety, particularly in terms of maintaining personal safety. Key themes within the qualitative data included feeling pressure to treat patients, dealing with difficult clients, travel concerns and feeling unsafe when meeting clients alone and in remote locations. Conclusion: These findings indicate that personal safety requires more attention and discussion within veterinary practices, and that safety protocols and requirements should be shared with clients.

Abstract : Macrofungi or mushroom are cosmopolitan heterotrophic organisms which have a very important ecological role. Information on the presence and description of macrofungi can be used as a reference for conservation steps and future potential utilization. The purpose of this study was to provide  description of macro fungi and their potential utilization at Belitong Island. All macro fungi found were Basidiomycota. The identification results showd there were 11 species of mushrooms, i.e. Chlorophyllum molybdites, Lepiota sp., Marasmius sp., Parasola sp., Phallus indusiatus, Lentinus sp.1, Lentinus sp.2, Microporus sp., Polyporus cf. tricholoma, Russula sp., dan Schizophyllum commune. All mushrooms are decomposer at the study site. Some mushrooms have potential as food, medicine and source of other bioactive compounds. This paper explains how to use macroscopic characters to help the identification of macrofungi.Abstrak : Jamur makro merupakan organisme heterotof kosmopolitan yang memiliki peran ekologis yang sangat penting. Informasi mengenai keberadaan dan deskripsi jamur makro dapat dijadikan acuan untuk langkah konservasi serta pemanfaatan potensinya di masa mendatang. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk menyediakan deskripsi jamur makro dan potensi pemanfaatannya di Pulau Belitong. Seluruh jamur makro yang ditemukan merupakan Filum Basidiomycota. Hasil identifikasi menunjukan terdapat 11 spesies jamur yaitu Chlorophyllum molybdites, Lepiota sp., Marasmius sp., Parasola sp., Phallus indusiatus, Lentinus sp.1, Lentinus sp.2, Microporus sp., Polyporus cf. tricholoma, Russula sp., dan Schizophyllum commune. Seluruh jamur merupakan dekomposer pada lokasi penelitian. Beberapa jamur berpotensi sebagai bahan pangan, obat, dan sumber senyawa bioaktif lainnya. Pada tulisan ini dijelaskan cara menggunakan karakter makroskopik untuk membantu identifikasi jamur.

Modifiable Factors

In the past few decades, increasingly blistering heat due to climate change has created more illnesses and claimed more lives worldwide, an issue mostly ignored because it's an invisible hazard and hard-to-document disaster. Victims are usually vulnerable populations, including workers exposed on a daily basis to heat, who not only suffer from heat illnesses but also from an exacerbation of existing health problems aggravated by heat and dehydration. Research has proved that heat is a higher risk for female workers, who are affected far more often than their male counterparts. India’s informal economy is dominated by the female workforce and many informal workplaces have minimal welfare facilities including toilets. One of the modifiable factors that influence workplace psychology is the lack of access to a private toilet. To avoid embarrassment or harassment, many women refrain from drinking water during the day in order to limit their trips to the toilet, a potentially deadly strategy during hot seasons which has adverse health consequences. A global trend especially in developing nations evidences a higher number of women entering the workforce. With this trend and rising temperatures, the issue is expected to escalate to significant proportions unless workplace interventions and policy level actions are taken at a national level to protect women workers.
