Opis:
The purpose of this work is to look at the expectations and actions that exist around the use of hearing protectors. Are our expectations for the performance of hearing protectors rational and is the way we expect them to be used reasonable? Perhaps we are expecting too much of hearing protectors and their ability to effectively reduce noise exposure. Better understanding of expectations and requirements along with improvements in technology and design offer the opportunity to markedly improve on the current situation.

Opis:
Stonecutting and setting are important tasks in a construction site. A field study was conducted to assess occupational-related disorders and to conduct ergonomics assessment among stonecutters. The study focused on (a) the duration of work per day, (b) the working environment and working activities and (c) the feeling of discomfort in different parts of the body. A detailed posture analysis was performed with the Ovako working posture analysis system (OWAS). It was observed that stonecutters worked continuously in awkward postures during stonecutting and setting. Consequently, they suffered from discomfort in different parts of their body, specifically in the lower back, knees and shoulders, which mainly prevented them from continuing their work. This study also revealed that stonecutters had to work in congested work areas with a poor level of illumination. The noise level and dust particles emitted during stonecutting activities could affect stonecutters.

Opis:
Artykuł koncentruje się na fenomenie tzw. mind-game films – filmów powstających od końca lat 90., które cechują się m.in. skomplikowaną narracją, ontologicznie niepewnymi światami przedstawionymi, niestabilnymi mentalnie bohaterami ogniskującymi fabułę. Autorka tekstu osadza zjawisko mind-game films w kontekście przemian w estetyce i produkcji współczesnego kina amerykańskiego i odpowiada na pytanie, dlaczego okazało się ono najwyraźniej obecne właśnie w kinematografii USA. Choć eksperymenty narracyjne nakierowane na budzenie dyskomfortu poznawczego u widza były dostrzegalne już w kinie modernistycznym, to właśnie współczesne kino amerykańskie sprawiło, że stały się one oswajalne i przystępne dla szerszej widowni. Szczekała skupia się również na aspekcie estetyczno-ideologicznym zjawiska, analizuje najczęściej powtarzające się tematy i chwyty narracyjne oraz swoistą dla mind-game films formę „identyfikacji poznawczej”.
The article focuses on the phenomenon of the so-called mind-game films – films emerging from the end of the 1990s, which are characterized by, among others, complicated narrative, ontologically uncertain worlds, mentally unstable characters that focus the story. The author embeds the phenomenon of mind-game films in the context of changes in the aesthetics and production of contemporary American cinema and answers the question, why is it most present in the American film industry. Although narrative experiments aimed at arousing cognitive discomfort in the audience were already visible in the modernist cinema, it is the contemporary American cinema that made them acceptable to the wider audience. Szczekała concentrates also on the aesthetic and ideological aspects of the phenomenon, and analyses the most recurrent themes and narrative tricks, and specific to the mind-game films form of “cognitive identification”.

Introduction: Stage fright is a symptom of excessive emotional arousal, and it is commonly referred to as social anxiety. This type of anxiety results mainly from a sense of being judged by others in a given social situation. Materials and Methods: We enrolled 27 female students, aged 22-30 years. We used two methods to examine the influence of stage fright on the activities and sensations within the vocal tract; namely, palpation assessment and the Vocal Tract Discomfort and Voice Quality questionnaire, which were performed twice, i.e., shortly after a presentation in front of an audience and after a normal conversation. The purpose of the study was to assess the impact of stage fright on actions and sensations within the vocal tract. Results: Participants had significantly higher scores with regard to palpation assessment, discomfort, and voice quality after presentations in front of an audience than after normal conversations, indicating a negative impact of stage fright on the studied parameters. Discussion: Stage fright significantly affects activities within the vocal tract structures such as the submandibular region, lateral pharyngeal walls, sternocleidomastoid muscles, and cricothyroid and thyrohyoid spaces; also, it affects jaw mobility and breathing patters. In addition, stage fright induces negative sensations within the vocal tract such as burning, tension, dryness, jaw clenching, throat tightness, grunting, shallow breathing, voice tremor, hoarseness, and faltering voice. The feeling of discomfort during situations that elicit stage fright correlates with self-assessed voice quality.

Opis:
Objectives: The most frequent manner of attending childbirth imposes on midwives assuming poor body position affecting the musculoskeletal system. Long professional experience does not mitigate the negative effects. The adopted movement habit, as well as the type, number and frequency of actions influence the body posture. The aim of the study was to identify ergonomic threats of basic occupational midwives activities and how particular spinal segments arrangements while attending childbirth using the same technique in senior midwives differ from those of junior ones. It was also checked whether pain influences the working position assumed by midwives. Materials and Methods: Examinations were conducted in 95 midwives aged 21–50 (X = 29.25±9.34): 51 graduates of BSc midwifery who worked 680 h in delivery rooms during obligatory practical classes and apprenticeship and 44 senior midwives with professional experience of 7–27 years (X = 14.84±5.98). The study was threefold. The spinal alignment while performing work activities associated with attending childbirth was assessed using the OWAS system and the SonoSens Monitor, the center of gravity projection on basal plane – using the AccuGait AMTI stabilometric platform. The measurements were taken during a simulation of attending childbirth (on examination model). A survey was conducted aimed at identifying spinal pain. Results: Midwives’ working postures require unnatural body alignments. Postural instability in the working position and no maximal usage of basal plane were observed. The work overload may afflict the musculoskeletal system, which was confirmed by different pain discomforts in 67.3% of the examinees. Conclusions: Spinal alignment while attending childbirth is individually differentiated and in every case non-ergonomic. Identifying explicitly spinal overloads is difficult, but the most prevalent ones affect lumbar and cervical regions altogether. Spinal pain is frequently noted, both in junior and senior midwives, and is characteristic for midwives working in maximal movement ranges.

Opis:
Objectives: The aim of the study was to analyze discomfort glare sensation in subjects aged 50 years and more in comparison with younger subjects (i.e. younger than 35 years of age). Material and Methods: The experiments were performed on a computer workstation placed in controlled lighting environment where 2 discomfort glare conditions were modeled. Each participant performed for about 1 h specially designed visual tasks, including the tests with Landolt's rings presented on the screen by a computer program. The glare evaluation method consisted of subjective evaluation of discomfort glare on the semantic glare rating scale, tests of mesopic contrast and glare sensitivity, subjective assessment of lighting quality and asthenopic symptoms. The time needed to perform the task and the number of mistakes were also recorded. The subjective evaluation of glare was compared with the Unified Glare Rating (UGR) index calculated by the DIALux simulation program. Results: A higher percentage of the younger group subjects assessed glare after the experimental session as uncomfortable and intolerable than in the 50+ group, who more often assessed glare as acceptable. The assessment of discomfort glare in the younger group corresponded to higher UGR value compared to UGR value calculated by DIALux. In the 50+ group, such correlation was found only for lower discomfort glare (UGR = 19). The results showed that younger participants more frequently suffered from visual fatigue and assessed lighting as less comfortable. However, the mesopic glare sensitivity increased significantly after the experiments only in the 50+ group under both glare conditions. Conclusions: The obtained results showed that discomfort glare sensation changes with age. The younger population seems to be more sensitive and demanding than the older one in relation to discomfort glare limiting, in spite of the lack of significant objective measures of fatigue. The exposure of the elderly to bigger discomfort glare could adversely affect the objective measures of fatigue like mesopic glare sensitivity and visual performance.

ObjectivesThe article presents the results of selected pilot studies conducted in medical ambulances. Their aim was to determine the working conditions and identify troublesome factors accompanying the performance of basic medical procedures by rescue teams.Material and MethodsThe study of working conditions was carried out in Mercedes-Benz ambulances, type S and P. Fifty-one paramedics of the Emergency Medical Rescue Service in Siedlce took part in the research. The questionnaire expert survey method and the direct observation method were used.ResultsAs a result of the applied research methods, knowledge was gained on the irregularities and difficulties that occur at the workplace of a paramedic, i.e., in an ambulance, including the lack of access to essential elements of medical equipment and their different location inside the vehicle, and the diversity of solutions for the spatial structure of ambulances, which all cause difficulties at work. Research has shown that paramedics take, on average, 33 min to familiarize themselves with the location of equipment in an ambulance other than the one in which they are usually on duty. There was no correlation between the lifeguard’s length of service and the time necessary for getting acquainted with the equipment, which was studied using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. In the study, rescuers also pointed to musculoskeletal ailments, mainly spinal pains resulting from taking forced positions during medical activities in an ambulance.ConclusionsThe results obtained constitute the basis for the author’s methodology of complex research aimed at defining the ergonomic recommendations necessary in the modification process of the operated medical fleet. The next step will be to formulate uniform guidelines for the construction of medical compartments of ambulances, the application of which will lead to the unification of their spatial structure regardless of the vehicle brand.

W artykule opisano wyniki badań mających na celu opracowanie metody pomiaru olśnienia przykrego, wykorzystującej kamerę z matrycą CCD. Przedstawiono ogólne informacje na temat olśnienia i dotychczasowych prób jego oceny. Zaprezentowano oryginalną metodę pomiaru wielkości niezbędnych do wyznaczenia wskaźnika UGR, którą poparto wynikami badań eksperymentalnych. Dzięki temu wykazano możliwość pomiaru olśnienia przykrego za pomocą miernika w konfiguracji cyfrowej kamery otworkowej.
In the paper the results of investigations on elaboration of a discomfort glare measurement method are described. This method uses a camera with CCD matrix. In the introduction some general information about glare [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6] and attempts to measure it [7] are presented. Besides, the most reliable system of glare evaluation - called the unified glare rating system UGR [8, 9] - is introduced. It imposes the necessity of estimation of the following quantities: background luminance, luminance of glare sources, their angular size and spatial arrangement (Fig. 1). A novel method for measurement of these quantities and, as a result, of the UGR index is described in Paragraph 2. It uses a pinhole digital camera. In practice this method consists in taking a series of images of the analysed area in the investigated interior. These images are used to calculate the background luminance, the luminance of each source within the field of view, their Guth position indexes and solid angles [7, 8]. It is done on a basis of the brightness analysis and localization of each pixel on the image (Figs. 2 and 3). After including parameters of the imaging system these results give information about the searched quantities. In Paragraph 3 the structure and most important parameters [7, 10, 11] of the research stand (from the photometry point of view) are described. If the luminance distribution is included by the single image, the luminance distribution measurement uncertainty is 6,83%. The exemplary results of the UGR index measurements are presented in Paragraph 4. For the luminance distribution simulated in a laboratory and contained in the field of view of the imaging system the maximum error was 6,9%. In a real didactic room this error was about 28%. In conclusions the discussion of the presented results is carried out. The possible directions of later investigations are suggested.

Opis:
Increasing numbers of workers use computer for work. So, especially among office workers, there is a high risk of musculoskeletal discomforts. This study examined the associations among 3 factors, psychosocial work factors, work stress and musculoskeletal discomforts. These associations were examined via a questionnaire survey on 30 office workers (at a university in Malaysia), whose jobs required an extensive use of computers. The questionnaire was distributed and collected daily for 20 days. While the results indicated a significant relationship among psychosocial work factors, work stress and musculoskeletal discomfort, 3 psychosocial work factors were found to be more important than others in both work stress and musculoskeletal discomfort: job demands, negative social interaction and computer-related problems. To further develop study design, it is necessary to investigate industrial and other workers who have experienced musculoskeletal discomforts and work stress.
