Occupational noise exposure and hearing loss among pulse processing workers

Occupational noise exposure and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) has been recognised as a problem among workers in Indian industries. The major industries in India are based on the processing of agricultural products. There are appreciable numbers of pulse processing units spread throughout the country. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hearing loss among pulse processing workers. As a part of hearing protection intervention, audiometric tests were conducted at the binaural low (250–1,500 Hz), the binaural mid (1,500–4,000 Hz) and the binaural high (3,000–8,000 Hz) frequency averages. The prevalence of hearing loss was determined based on hearing threshold levels (HTLs) with a low fence of 25 dB. Over 50% of pulse processing workers (dana bazaar and dal mill) showed hearing loss in the noise-sensitive higher (binaural mid and high) frequencies. The rate of hearing loss was particularly high among workers in the dal mill. The analyses show a higher risk of prevalence of hearing loss among the dal mill workers compared to the workers associated with the grain preprocessing activities. The study shows alarming signals of NIHL, especially in the dal mill workers. The occupational exposure to noise could be minimised by efficient control measures through engineering controls, administrative controls and the use of personal protective devices. Applications of engineering and/or administrative controls are frequently not feasible in developing countries for technical and financial reasons. A complete hearing conservation programme, including training, audiometry and the use of hearing protection devices, is the most feasible method for the protection of industrial workers from prevailing noise in workplace environments in the developing countries.

固定化甲烷八叠球菌提高甲烷化作用研究

用聚乙烯醇（ Ｐ Ｖ Ａ） 为包埋剂对甲烷八叠球菌（ Ｍｅｔｈａｎｏｓａｒｃｉｎａ ） 的富集培养物进行固定化, 并以甲醇为唯一碳源对其产气特性进行了研究．结果表明：以甲醇为唯一碳源时,固定化甲烷八叠球菌与非固定化甲烷八叠球菌的总产气量相似,但两者的产气特性有明显不同．固定化甲烷八叠球菌产气迟于非固定化甲烷八叠球菌,固定化甲烷八叠球菌的产气集中,在产气高峰两天中的产气量占总产气量的６６ ．０ ％ ．非固定化甲烷八叠球菌产气平稳, 平均日产甲烷量为８ ．９１ ｍ Ｌ／ｄ．固定化甲烷八叠球的电子显微镜观察结果表明, 细胞在固定介质中多呈较大包囊存在,包囊直径３０ ～５０ μｍ ．固定化甲烷八叠球处理豆制品废水的结果表明,在低有机物负荷下,固定化甲烷八叠球菌发挥着很大作用,有较低的出水 Ｃ Ｏ Ｄ 和较高的甲烷含量．在较高有机物负荷下,与对照无明显差别．其原因是在高有机物负荷和短水滞留期运转条件下,固定化甲烷八叠球菌受到抑制而失去活性所致     

Stakeholder participation in sustainability assessment of non-wicked problems: The case of a future seaweed industry in Sweden

Acceptance by, and cooperation with relevant stakeholders in developing new sustainability initiatives when they are generally perceived as positive, is one of the keys for successful implementation of such new sustainability initiatives later on. It is remarkable, however, that ample literature exists about involving stakeholders in research projects focusing on problems with diverging views (controversy) around facts and values (wicked problems), but there is very little literature addressing whether and how to involve relevant stakeholders in case of initiatives where diverging norms and values do not play a (substantial) role, like in sustainability assessment for a future seaweed industry. This perspectives paper addresses that gap, and explores how to design such sustainability assessment, illustrated by how stakeholder interaction influenced the assessment and its results for a future seaweed industry in Sweden, followed by a discussion whether and how a similar approach may benefit sustainability assessment of other non-wicked sustainability initiatives.     

网络视域下突发事件对旅游目的地形象的影响过程研究

突发事件直接影响旅游目的地形象,关系到目的地的可持续发展。基于网络视域,从旅游者感知角度,建立突发事件影响目的地形象的过程模型。根据突发事件网络传播的效应——信息爆炸效应和舆论聚合效应,将模型分解为对目的地形象的强化过程和反馈过程。突发事件的网络传播会加速目的地形象感知的过程并深化目的地形象感知的内容,从而强化对目的地形象的感知,反馈过程导致目的地形象的调整。分析表明,网络视域下突发事件对目的地形象的影响更加显著。最后总结网络信息时代目的地遭遇突发事件时维护自身形象的策略。
