Time allocation between work and recreation and the associated injury risks among young people

PROBLEM: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between overall risk of injury and time use patterns between work and active recreation among adolescents and young adults. METHODS: Using a representative sample of 9,795 Canadians aged 15-24 years, a multivariate logistic regression on the likelihood of any medically attended injury was conducted, including sociodemographic, individual, and time factors. RESULTS: Young people who engaged in a combination of high work and high activity hours were twice as likely to sustain a medically attended injury compared to those who worked low hours, but did not participate in any recreational activity. Those respondents who were not in school had a 43% increase in injury risk compared to full-time students. SUMMARY: Our findings suggest that injury risk was not a simple function of fatigue and cumulative exposure time. Our findings suggest the importance of considering time use and the associated injury risk tradeoffs. IMPACT ON INDUSTRY: Relevant to state and federal work safety policy makers, our findings suggest the importance of understanding where youth might otherwise spend their time if constraint were placed on their employment opportunities, and the associated injury risk tradeoffs must be taken into consideration.     

AOR工艺的设计研究

AOR是传统活性污泥法与氧化沟结合的一种新型生化反应器。具有较高的脱氮除磷功能,同时独特的污泥恢复区的设计,使得回流污泥集中适当充氧,另外采用同心圆结构,使每个区形成循环流态,因此是一种高效、节能、适应性强的污水处理工艺。在对AOR反应器分析研究的基础上,提出满足生物脱氮除磷的动力学设计研究方法,并对其设计计算公式进行推导。
