Assessing the Usefulness of Mobile Apps for Noise Management in Occupational Health and Safety: Quantitative Measurement and Expert Elicitation Study

JMIR mHealth and uHealth, 2023
BackgroundOverexposure to occupational noise can lead to hearing loss. Occupational noise mapping is conventionally performed with a calibrated sound level meter (SLM).

“We might be put into situations we are uncomfortable with, but not exactly told how to deal with them”: Health professional students' experiences questioning low‐value care practices during work‐integrated learning

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Health professions students often observe and practice alongside supervising health professionals during work‐integrated learning (WIL) to develop essential capabilities. While students may encounter practices they interpret as low‐value care during WIL, many hesitate to question or challenge these practices.

Validity of self-reported occupational noise exposure [PDF]

Occupational and Environmental Medicine, 2009
In all epidemiological studies the validity of self-reported questionnaire data is an important issue as the exposure assessment based on such data is a major source of bias in the risk estimation. A validation study was conducted based on a case-control study including 94 acoustic neuroma cases and 191 matched controls from the German Interphone Study

Workplace noise exposure and the prevalence and 10-year incidence of age-related hearing loss.

PLoS ONE, 2021
There is paucity of population-based data on occupational noise exposure and risk of age-related hearing loss. Therefore, we assessed cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of past workplace noise exposure with hearing loss in older adults.

"UWBCarGraz" Dataset for Car Occupancy Detection using Ultra-Wideband Radar [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We present a data-driven car occupancy detection algorithm using ultra-wideband radar based on the ResNet architecture. The algorithm is trained on a dataset of channel impulse responses obtained from measurements at three different activity levels of the occupants (i.e. breathing, talking, moving). We compare the presented algorithm against a state-of-

The Value Chain of Sustainable Dual Carbon Sodium Ion Capacitors

Batteries &Supercaps, EarlyView.
Sodium‐ion capacitors (SICs) bridge the energy‐power gap between batteries and supercapacitors, offering sustainable and scalable energy storage solutions. This review provides a 360‐degree perspective on SIC technology, covering material choices, presodiation strategies, manufacturing challenges, applications and life cycle assessment to ensure ...

Occupational noise and myocardial infarction

Noise and Health, 2015
The present analysis aims to differentiate the association of noise on myocardial infarction (MI) by job specific demands using International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO)-88 codes as a proxy. Data of a German case-control study were supplemented by job descriptions (indicated by ISCO-88).

Spatiotemporal Modeling and Forecasting at Scale with Dynamic Generalized Linear Models [PDF]

In 1st ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Anomaly Detection (GeoAnomalies'24), October 29, 2024, Atlanta, GA, USA
Spatiotemporal data consisting of timestamps, GPS coordinates, and IDs occurs in many settings. Modeling approaches for this type of data must address challenges in terms of sensor noise, uneven sampling rates, and non-persistent IDs. In this work, we characterize and forecast human mobility at scale with dynamic generalized linear models (DGLMs).

Preschool Personnel Exposure to Occupational Noise [PDF]

Proceedings of the Latvian Academy of Sciences. Section B. Natural, Exact, and Applied Sciences., 2016
Abstract Increased noise, which is also below the occupational exposure values and is “hearing safe” noise, affects the exposed person’s health as a non-specific stressor. Increased noise level also creates an environment for additional vocal apparatus load.
