Abstract

"Fatigue is a recognized problem in many facets of the human enterprise. It is not confined to any one area of activity but enters all situations in which humans have to perform for extended intervals of time. Most problematic are the circumstances in which obligatory action is continuous and the results of failure are evidently serious or even catastrophic. Therefore, the modern media especially highlights fatigue-related failures in industries such as transportation, materials processing and healthcare. It can be, and indeed is, no coincidence that most of the spectacular failures in process control that have resulted in the world's largest industrial accidents have occurred in the small hours of the morning when the circadian rhythm is lowest and operator fatigue itself peaks. While there have been legislative efforts made at state, federal and international levels to regulate working hours of employees, the appropriate implementation of such legislation is still a long way off. The Handbook of Operator Fatigue provides a comprehensive account of the subject to serve as the definitive reference work for researchers, students and practitioners alike. The volume features 30 chapters written by experts from around the world to address each important facet of fatigue, including: the scale of the fatigue problem (Section I), the nature of fatigue (Section II), how to assess fatigue (Section III), the impact of fatigue on health (Section IV), fatigue in the workplace (Section V), the neurological basis of fatigue (VI), sleep disorders (VII), and the design of countermeasures to fatigue (VIII)."--Provided by publisher.

Abstract

The paper asks how state of the art DSGE models that account for the conditional response of hours following a positive neutral technology shock compare in a marginal likelihood race. To that end we construct and estimate several competing small-scale DSGE models that extend the standard real business cycle model. In particular, we identify from the literature six different hypotheses that generate the empirically observed decline in worked hours after a positive technology shock. These models alternatively exhibit (i) sticky prices; (ii) firm entry and exit with time to build; (iii) habit in consumption and costly adjustment of investment; (iv) persistence in the permanent technology shocks; (v) labor market friction with procyclical hiring costs; and (vi) Leontief production function with labor-saving technology shocks. In terms of model posterior probabilities, impulse responses, and autocorrelations, the model favored is the one that exhibits habit formation in consumption and investment adjustment costs. A robustness test shows that the sticky price model becomes as competitive as the habit formation and costly adjustment of investment model when sticky wages are included.

Abstract

Hoe moet een woonzorgcentrum er uitzien om mensen met dementie er zich thuis te laten voelen? Aan welke vereisten moet het gebouw beantwoorden om ze er hun weg te doen vinden en te laten aarden? Hoe kan je door vormgeving en inrichting van de woonomgeving ervoor zorgen dat mensen met dementie goed wonen? Met deze vragen ging Erik Stroobants naar twintig woonzorgcentra tussen Veurne en Hamont-Achel. Zijn reportages en interviews met tekst, uitleg, foto's en plannen lees je in het eerste deel van dit boek.Patrick Verhaest vond antwoorden op vragen over dementievriendelijk bouwen en inrichten in resultaten van wetenschappelijk onderzoek en stellingen van deskundigen. Beginnen doet hij met 'wat is dementie?' en eindigen met 'contacten bevorderen'. Architectuur verenigt als kunst en wetenschap op een evenwichtige manier schoonheid, stevigheid en bruikbaarheid. Tonica is in de muziek de grondnoot. Het grondakkoord dat daarop gebouwd is, straalt rust uit. 'Architectonica' zorgt voor een thuis voor mensen met dementie.
