Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of Biorhythms is an up and coming topic. Its founding fathers: Dr, Fliess, Dr. Swoboda, and Dr. Teltsher discovered the 23 day physical 28 day sensitivity, and 33 day Intellectual cycles around the turn of the century. Today, biorhythms are being looked at and studied from many different disciplines. Over seventy five studies on biorhythm have been noted in the review of literature. There is a great amount of controversy over the reliability of the biorhythm theory. Some safety professionals believe in biorhythms, and use them as a tool to reduce accidents in the workplace. Two hundred and twenty two accidents from Zidell Explorations, Inc., a Portland, Oregon based firm, was used to test the validity of the biorhythm theory. Using all the accidents for a complete year, an analysis revealed that the level of significance for all methods of analysis could not reject any of the nine null hypotheses of the study. Therefore, the study could not verify the biorhythm theory. The conclusion stated that even though the theory was not verified, biorhythms could be used in the workplace to promote more employee-employer relations. Recommendations for further study was made. Consisting of personal information that includes birth place and exact times of birth along with other recommendations.

Download or read book Relationships of Biorhythms and Categories of Industrial Accidents on an Air Force Installation written by C. B. Freitag and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biorhythms were calculated for 852 personnel involved in industrial accidents, over a six year period, on an Air Force installation. Each subject had biorhythms calculated and plotted, by computer, for the month of their accident and were analyzed for relationships between critical days and negative phases of each cycle. Chi Square analysis indicated no significant relationships for the entire group. The categories of accidents called Unsafe Personal Factors and Unsafe Practices were individually studied as well as the specific causes of Work Posture/Position, and Inattentive, Absentminded. These were felt to be most likely to be associated with biorhythm cycles. No accident frequency was found beyond the expected level. A unique feature of this study was to generate new random birthdays for all subjects. The same procedures were followed using the new biorhythms plots for the month of their accidents. Results showed the same insignificant relationship, and it was concluded that there was no evidence to link biorhythm cycles and accidents. (Author).

Download or read book Prevention of Accidents at Work written by Ales Bernatik and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prevention of Accidents at Work collects papers presented at the 9th International Conference on the Prevention of Accidents at Work (WOS 2017) held in Prague, Czech Republic, on October 3-6, 2017, organized by the VSB-Technical University of Ostrava. The conference on current issues within occupational safety is organized under the umbrella of Workingonsafety.net (WOS.net). WOS.net is an international network of decision-makers, researchers and professionals responsible for the prevention of accidents and trauma at work. The network aims to bring accident prevention experts together in order to facilitate the exchange of experience, new findings and best practices between different countries and sectors. WOS.net is supported by the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA). The overall theme is safety management complexity in a changing society, with the motto: Do we need a holistic approach? Underlying topics include: Foundations of safety science: theories, principles, methods and tools; Research to practice: achievements, lessons learned and challenges; Risk management and safety culture: case studies, best practices and further needs; Safety regulation: reasonable practicable approach; Education and training: prerequisite for safety; Complexity and safety: multidisciplinarity and inter-stakeholder views. Prevention of Accidents at Work should be valuable to researchers, policy makers, safety professionals, labor inspectors, labor administrators and other experts in the prevention of occupational accidents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Biological Rhythms is a primer that serves to introduce individuals to the area of biological rhythms. It describes the major characteristics and discusses the implications and applications of these rhythms, while citing scientific results and references. Also, the primer includes essays that provide in-depth historic and other background information for those interested in more specific topics or concepts. It covers a basic cross-section of the field of chronobiology clearly enough so that it can be understood by a novice, or an undergraduate student, but that it would also be sufficiently technical and detailed for the scientist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1982, this book provides rich evidence of the relevance of the temporal aspects of behavior. The generalized areas of learning, memory, operant scheduled behavior, task performance, vigilance, mood and motivation and their rhythmic components are explored in varying detail. The particularized measures range from on-the-job errors, through reading efficiency to milliseconds of change in reaction time in the laboratory. The subjects range from ants to older persons. Across this range of settings, subjects, and behaviors, the message is clear: there is an interaction between time and behavior.

Download or read book Paranormal Borderlands of Science written by Kendrick Frazier and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-10-17 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Headlines and television news reports feature accounts of reincarnation, the predictions of astrologers, and psychic "miracles." Citizens report UFO sightings. Police departments call on psychics to provide clues in baffling crimes. From every available information source, the public is bombarded with unsubstantiated claims of paranormal phenomena. How much of the evidence is reliable? What is the truth behind these claims? Paranormal Borderlands of Science is an exciting, well-informed examination of the most publicized and exotic claims of astrology, ESP, psychokinesis, precognition, UFOs, biorhythms, and other phenomena. Written by respected psychologists, astronomers and other scientists, philosophers, investigative journalists, and magicians, the 47 articles in this superb collection present a skeptical treatment of pseudoscientific claims - an aspect often sorely neglected in sensationalized media reports. This book is an effort to help readers sort fact from fiction and sense from nonsense among the astonishing variety of assertions labeled "paranormal." Never before published in book form, the essays in this anthology originally appeared in the Skeptical Inquirer, a leading magazine devoted to the critical investigation of pseudoscience from a scientific viewpoint. Among the contributors are: Isaac Asimov (distinguished science fiction author), Martin Gardner (Scientific American columnist), James Randi (The Amazing Randi), Philip Klass (noted UFO skeptic), Scot Morris (Omni), and James Oberg (NASA). An essential contribution to skeptical literature, this book will be of lasting value to all those wishing to balance the case for paranormal claims by reading the dissenting critics.
