Footedness and Mounting—Short Review and Two Case Studies

Footedness is a personal quality like handedness. Footedness may be associated with moving ability during mounting, dismounting, and jumping movements. Occupational accidents have occurred during movement at different working levels, during the use of access and exit systems, and during the mounting of vehicles. Aging can also affect accident risk and body laterality. For example, falling accidents on stairs are common among the elderly. One reason for accidents may be that the structure of the access system or stair system is unsuitable for individual moving patterns depending partly on body laterality. Footedness and the way the feet are used may be contradictory to the demands of the moving situation, especially during uncommon or rapid situations. This contradiction may trigger disturbance during moving. The aims of this pilot study were (a) to review the literature briefly and (b) to describe the use of the dominant and nondominant foot by farmers and the elderly when mounting a tractor and stairs, respectively. The study also gives ideas for future studies based on both (a) and (b).     

Contemporary and traditional localism: a conceptualisation of rural local food

The increasingly popular local food movement in the US has experienced wide-scale buy-in on behalf of the general public as well as in academic arenas. However, there have been recent efforts to critique this movement, typically for being inequitable and unfairly geared towards those with above-average financial means. In this article, I examine local food efforts and present a new conceptualisation of food localism. While geographically localised food consumption activities are taking place, some have ideological labels attached to them, whereas others do not. What I have termed contemporary and traditional localisms exist in the same physical but different social space. The contemporary local is represented by current local food initiatives and corresponding aspirations to support local farmers and to promote sustainability through local purchasing behaviour. The traditional local, on the other hand, is similar in that it represents food growing activities that are in close geographical proximity to consumption, but lacks the motivation associated with the contemporary local's programmatic literature; instead, it is guided by a motivation to obtain fresh and affordable food. I substantiate the contemporary/traditional localism framework with qualitative fieldwork findings from Grafton County, New Hampshire, USA, and describe the practical as well as conceptual implications of this framework.     

“冰冻灾害”过程中长途汽车司机心理安全感与应付方式的初步调查

“春季冰灾”的严重后果无疑是“京珠高速”的瘫痪,而长时间滞留其中的长途汽车司机既是灾害当事人,也是灾害见证人。在灾害持续过程中了解当事人心理活动及其变化过程,在灾害心理学上无疑具有理论意义与实践价值。调查结果表明,灾害持续时间（车辆滞留时间）与当事人的心理活动有着密切的关系,灾害持续一周后,当事人的心理安全感显著下降,应付方式开始从成熟型应对向不成熟型应对退化。看来,灾害持续不仅消解心理健康,而且瓦解应变能力。     

矿地复垦执行保证金的法治化问题研究

矿地复垦的市场调控失灵导致负外部性经济效果,政府命令与控制型因信息和寻租而同样失灵;保证金是弥补两个失灵时基于市场的政策工具,但要与矿地复垦协议共同使用。保证金的功能是担保矿地复垦合同的履行。复垦合同属行政管理中相对人自愿诺成行为,具有行政与民事的双重属性。行政机关的优益权和矿地验收决定等引起的争议属行政纠纷,救济要平衡合同主体双方,矿山利益和公共利益都要保护。这一切都要依靠理论研究、体制改革、培育中介机构等系列基础工程。     

企业环境等级评价制度中的多方博弈辨析

企业环境等级评价制度将公众第三方引入环境管理体系,着重分析三方在管理中的各自作用,以及如何实现利益的最大化。公众的参与是核心,政府引导是保证企业环境等级评价制度顺利和健康实施的基础,而企业可以通过环境等级评价提高企业环境信息的透明度,并进一步利用市场增大企业的利益。     

区域生态安全评价的BP神经网络方法

生态安全评价是建立生态安全预警系统及进行环境管理的基础。为确立有效的区域生态安全评价方法,基于压力－状态－响应概念模型,构建了区域生态安全评价指标体系和评价标准;采用BP神经网络的途径,对安徽省17个地级市的生态安全评价问题进行了研究。结果表明：宣城、池州、黄山为Ⅱ级,亳州、宿州、阜阳、滁州、六安、巢湖、安庆为Ⅲ级,合肥、淮北、蚌埠为IV级,淮南、马鞍山、芜湖、铜陵为Ⅴ级。区域生态安全的BP神经网络评价方法涵义明确,计算过程简单,能区分生态安全的等级,可以应用于具有评价标准的其它生态系统综合评价。     

家庭作坊式“企业”安全水平的模糊综合评价研究

通过对家庭作坊式＂企业＂的现状调查以及当前的经济形势分析,可知当前家庭作坊式＂企业＂的安全问题十分突出,为了控制住家庭作坊式＂企业＂的火灾发生,对其进行适当的安全水平评价显得很有必要。本文针对家庭作坊式＂企业＂的安全问题,根据资料确定影响家庭作坊的安全指标,采用层次分析法对各安全指标进行分层次处理并建立了评价层次结构模型,由各安全指标相对重要度的比较确定了各级指标权重;再通过模糊评价将各指标权重与安全评价关联,并划分不同的安全等级,提出了安全水平的模糊综合评价模型;最后采用模糊中值法把安全评价结果数量化并得出所处的安全等级。本文还通过对某家庭作坊式＂企业＂的安全水平评价实例,证明了该方法具有一定的可行性。     

探析模糊控制无线节点网路技术在石油化工安全中的应用

在石油化工领域,为了有效预防和控制易燃易爆有毒气体的泄漏燃烧爆炸,利用计算机技术和电信通讯网络,处理信息和传输信息,以监测探头、无线接收发模块、监控主计算机三部分构建一套安全预警监控系统。在化工厂或危险源区域的危险点,设置多处监测节点,接受信息传输到无线接收发模块,进行模糊化计算、推理,判断后输出结果到监控主计算机,监控主计算机向安全管理人员、现场工作人员等发出报警信息。     

装修改造对结构整体安全性影响分析

归纳了危害结构安全的主要装修改造行为,提出装修改造对结构安全性影响应以整体结构为研究对象,分析结构整体抗力的变化。以实际工程为例,对装修改造前后建筑结构进行设计复核,重点分析了建筑荷载增加、承重墙窗下墙拆除对结构安全性的影响。指出在各种装修因素综合作用下,结构承重体系发生改变,尤其是抗震薄弱构件的出现,使结构整体抗震能力大大降低。提出保证建筑结构安全性的合理化建议,对防止突发性灾害具有重要意义。
