Retrospective study with total sampling method covered tuberculosis cases in working inhabitants of Krasnokamensk town in Zabaikalsk region, aged 20–60 years (2005–2015). Formed sample (n=94) was divided into two groups: main group — workers of uranium-extracting enterprise (n=40), reference group — workers of enterprises not connected with uranium production (n=54). In the groups analyzed, the study covered longstanding dynamics of morbidity and clinical manifestations of tuberculosis process. Evaluation also included tuberculosis risk in workers of uranium production, in dependence on levels of radiation exposure and length of service.Results. Higher average long-term level of tuberculosis morbidity was proved to be characteristic for the uranium production workers (Me=70.10/0000 [40.2–115.5]), not depending on level (Me=13.20/0000 [9.7–31.8]) and trend of morbidity among working inhabitants of the town (rs=0.382; p=0.247). Tuberculosis process has more unfavorable clinical manifestations in the uranium production workers with higher level of radiation exposure (group A personnel). Among them, more frequent discharge of the causative agent, in comparison with workers suffering from tuberculosis and having less level of radiation exposure (group B personnel) (52% and 16% respectively; p=0.022). Th e maximal tuberculosis risk was demonstrated for group A personnel with length of service from 5 to 15 years (OP=2.7 [1.1–7.0]).Conclusion. Work conditions of uranium enterprise workers have negative influence on tuberculosis morbidity level and result in highly contagious types of tuberculosis.","PeriodicalId":229714,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116242068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The issues of radiofrequency electromagnetic field in near field human body exposure correct assessment and control methods improvement actualization determined the need to develop a predictive model that provides different exposure conditions in terms of their biological equivalence comparison.Materials and methods. The problem of laboratory rats and humans equivalent EMF exposure assessment in near and far fields was considered. It is proposed to use a set of criteria that include both the power absorption in the irradiated objects values and the exposure time, allowing to take into account the peculiarities of human body and animals species sensitivity to this factor to solve this problem.Results. Relations for RF EMF equivalent levels values calculation for concrete biological object in near and far fields are presented. There are presented the ratio to calculate EMF levels in terms of power density and energy exposure to case of human body exposure that is equivalent to experimental conditions of rats exposure.Discussion. The developed model can be used to compare the experimental conditions of exposure in the near field with PD values for far field (formed electromagnetic wave), which is most important for >300 MHz frequencies, as well as for the interpretation of EMF biological effects obtained in animal experiments to human exposure conditions assess. This provides a biologically based approach to control RF EMF intensity at any distance from the source and the comparison of the field strength levels with the PD values in the zone of the formed electromagnetic wave.Conclusion. The proposed model takes into account the physical patterns of energy absorption in different objects and differences of organisms species sensitivity to factor exposure; provides the ability to predict critical levels of irradiation for different human body organs and systems, taking into account the time of the factor exposure too.","PeriodicalId":229714,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130669158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Various types of graphic user interface and operator occupations are characterized by various parameters of exertion, both biomechanical and psycho-physiological. Among main elements of graphic user interface are presence or absence of mouse or joystick, intuitive clearness, balanced palette, fixed position of graphic elements, comfort level, etc. Review of various graphic user interface and analysis of their characteristics demonstrated possibility of various occupational risk factors. Some disclosed ergonomic problems are connected with incorporation of graphic user interface into various information technologies and systems. The authors presented a role of ergonomic characteristics of graphic user interface for safe and effective work of operators, gave examples of algorithms to visualize large information volumes for easier comprehension and analysis. Correct usage of interactive means of computer visualization with competent design and observing ergonomic principles will optimize mental work in innovative activity and preserve operators’ health.

Typology of diurnal (circadian) human rhythms is actively studied in occupational medicine, from the viewpoint of adaptation to various work conditions including those with shift working schedule. In recent years, evidences outline bimodal chronotype characterized by simultaneously present signs of extreme morning and extreme evening types without dominating one of them. Studies did not cover bimodal chronotype in night-shift workers.Objective is to evaluate presence of bimodal chronotype in night-shift workers if compared to day-shift schedule.Materials and methods. Chronotype outlining covered 95 workers divided into 2 groups: first — 55 night-shift workers, second — 40 workers on day schedule. Bimodal chronotype was diagnosed via algorithm based on questionnaire Morningness Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ) by B.J. Martynhak et al.Results. Findings are that 7.3% of night-shift workers and 5.0% of workers with day schedule demonstrate bimodal chronotype. Changed chronotype classification leads to smaller share of workers with intermediate chronotype, but quota of morning and evening chronotypes does not change. Possibility of bimodal chronotype should be respected in examination of workers for designing health programs with consideration of chronotype-associated diseases and for better performance due to rational management of working time.Conclusions. Diagnosis of individual chronotype is a serious part in health programs formation in able-bodied population. Chronotype knowledge helps to minimize possible decrease and losses of performance due to rational working time management and preventive programs aimed to diagnose chronotype-associated health disorders.","PeriodicalId":229714,"journal":{"name":"Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129699133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
