La présente étude avait pour objectif de déterminer si l'utilisation d'un mobilier de bureau ajustable en hauteur offrant un appui au niveau des avant-bras sur la surface de travail permet de réduire la sollicitation musculaire tout en minimisant l’impact sur la posture du membre supérieur. Dix-huit sujets ont effectué une tâche de travail à l’ordinateur de 20 minutes impliquant du travail alterné entre le clavier et la souris, avec trois mobiliers de bureau différents : un mobilier à surface unique avec support-écran indépendant, entièrement ajustable en hauteur, permettant l'appui des avant-bras …

Stratégie D'Intervention En Situation Conflictuelle : L'Apport D'Une Démarche D'Ergonomie De Conception, Mario Roy, Daniel Louis Bilodeau

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Cette étude de cas porte sur une démarche d'ergonomie de conception réalisée par l'Institut de recherche Robert-Sauvé en santé et en sécurité du travail dans une usine d'abattage et de transformation du porc. L'intérêt de cette étude repose sur le fait que la démarche des ergonomes responsables de l'intervention se déroule dans un contexte organisationnel difficile caractérisé par les manifestations d'un conflit entre patron et syndicat. Son but est de présenter un cas documenté duquel les décideurs et les intervenants de la pratique ergonomique pourront tirer des apprentissages qu'ils pourront, en les adaptant, réinvestir dans des situations similaires.

Modélisation D'Un Chariot Élévateur Et De Son Cariste Pour Améliorer La Sécurité Lors De Renversements Latéraux, Michel Gou, Carl-Éric Aubin, Maria Olteanu, René Benoit, Marina Koutchouk

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Ce projet de recherche financé par l’IRSST fait suite à une problématique industrielle des traumatismes subis par le cariste lors du renversement latéral de son chariot élévateur. L’objectif général de cette étude a été de concevoir CARISSIMO, un logiciel d’aide à la conception des chariots élévateurs, pouvant tester différents dispositifs de sécurité dans différentes conditions d’accidents.

De façon plus précise, un modèle paramétré de chariot élévateur a été développé à l’aide du logiciel de modélisation MADYMO (TNO). Ce modèle permet de représenter la plupart des chariots à fourche en porte-à-faux et contrepoids, d’une capacité nominale de 2000 à 3000 kg, …

Les Interférences Sur Les Détecteurs À Piles Électrochimiques, Claire C. Austin, Brigitte Roberge, Jérôme Arbarétaz, Nicole Goyer

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les détecteurs à pile électrochimique mesurent le courant différentiel généré en présence des composés cibles présents dans l'air et celui de référence. L'amplitude de ce courant généré par la réaction chimique est proportionnelle à la concentration du composé cible. D'autres substances ayant un potentiel électrochimique différent de celui des composés cibles peuvent augmenter ou diminuer ce signal. Les fabricants des détecteurs et des systèmes de détection fournissent une liste limitée de telles sensibilisations croisées; cependant, les utilisateurs rapportent de façon anecdotique des interférences imprévues, par d'autres substances présentes dans les milieux de travail, notamment par des solvants. La littérature rapporte …

L'Intégration De La Prévention Sst Au Management Des Normes Iso 9000 Par La Macroergonomie : Une Recension Des Écrits Suivie D'Un Projet Pilote, Georges Toulouse

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les répercussions des normes ISO 9000 sur la santé et sécurité du travail sont perçues de façon contradictoire par les chercheurs et les praticiens. Pour certains, les normes ISO 9000 introduisent des éléments de management qui peuvent avoir des effets bénéfiques sur la sécurité; pour d’autres, les normes ISO 9000 auraient des effets négatifs accroissant les prescriptions et la charge de travail. Le présent rapport vise à clarifier cette problématique, et plus particulièrement à cerner avec plus de précision les facteurs favorisant ou limitant l’intégration de la SST aux normes ISO 9000 : 1994 (version 1994). La première partie du …

Improving The Behavior Of Primary School Students With Involvement From Students, Staff, And Families, Judith Spieth Justice

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This applied dissertation was designed to provide better behavior from primary-aged (grades kindergarten through grade 3) school students. Primary aged students were exhibiting disruptive behavior, and this research delved into the evidence, causes, and solutions for disruptive behavior. Disruptive behavior interrupted the learning environment and threatened the physical and emotional safety of the school. Students who behaved inappropriately often perceived themselves as "troublemakers" and established a pattern early in school years. Because it is easier to eliminate problem behaviors before they become a pattern, the writer sought to break the cycle of disruptive behavior in primary ages.

The writer developed …

Evidence For The Involvement Of A Tsetse Midgut Lectin-Trypsin Complex In Differentiation Of Bloodstream-Form Trypanosomes, L. U. Abubakar, G. Zimba, C. Wells, F. Mulaa, E. O. Osir

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

We have previously described a bloodmeal-induced molecule (lectin-trypsin complex) from the midgut of the tsetse fly, Glossina longipennis, with both lectin and trypsin activities (Osir et al., 1995). In this paper, we report on the isolation of a similar molecule from the midguts of Glossina fuscipes fuscipes and provide direct evidence for its involvement in the development of African trypanosomes. The molecule (native Mr ∼65,700) has two non-covalently linked subunits, Mr ∼28,800 and Mr ∼35,700. The native molecule was found to be capable of inducing differentiation of bloodstream-form trypanosomes into procyclic (midgut forms) in vitro. In the assays, specific antibodies …

High Seasonal Variation In Entomologic Inoculation Rates In Eritrea, A Semi-Arid Region Of Unstable Malaria In Africa, Josephat Shililu, Tewolde Ghebremeskel, Solomon Mengistu, Helen Fekadu, Mehari Zerom, Charles Mbogo, John Githure, Robert Novak, Eugene Brantly, John C. Beier

All Peer-Reviewed Publications

Entomologic studies were conducted in eight villages to investigate the patterns of malaria transmission in different ecologic zones in Eritrea. Mosquito collections were conducted for 24 months between September 1999 and January 2002. The biting rates of Anopheles arabiensis were highly seasonal, with activity concentrated in the wet season between June and October in the highlands and western lowlands, and between December and March in the coastal region. The biting rates in the western lowlands were twice as high as in the western escarpment and 20 times higher than in the coastal region. Sporozoite rates were not significantly different among …

The Federal No Child Left Behind Act And The Post-Desegregation Civil Rights Agenda, James S. Liebman, Charles F. Sabel

Faculty Scholarship

Despite many deficiencies, the No Child Left Behind Act ("NCLB" or "Act") extends to the federal level and diffuses to the states an innovative system of publicly monitored decentralization of school governance known as the "New Accountability." This Article argues that, given background changes in the understanding of effective classroom teaching, accountability systems of the type imposed by the NCLB can enable willing school districts to build the capacity for school-level reform upon which the ultimate improvement of public schooling depends. It claims further that activists can accelerate the reforms and ensure respect for the requirements of racial and economic …

Partnership With A Graduate Nursing Program: Voices Of The Community, Deborah Essex Forbes Lindell

Thesis, Dissertations, Student Creative Activity, and Scholarship

Academic-community partnerships (ACPs) are a means by which community-based organizations can implement their missions and programs of higher education can facilitate student educational objectives through real world learning experiences. Many ACPs are framed in the educational methodology, service-learning. Theoretical definitions of ACPs (as a type of inter-organizational relationship) describe them as relationships that are on-going, reciprocal and characterized by mutual trust and respect.

During the past 15 years, ACPs and service-learning have experienced a rapid growth in nursing education. Literature pertaining to ACPs in nursing education is largely anecdotal and concerns undergraduate nursing programs. There are few reports of research …

Subglacial Thermal Balance Permits Ongoing Grounding Line Retreat Along The Siple Coast Of West Antarctica, Byron R. Parizek, Richard B. Alley, Christina L. Hulbe

Geology Faculty Publications and Presentations

Changes in the discharge of West Antarctic ice streams are of potential concern with respect to global sea level. The six relatively thin, fast-flowing Ross ice streams are of interest as low-slope end-members among Antarctic ice streams. Extensive research has demonstrated that these "rivers of ice" have a history of relatively high-frequency (óO(100) years), asynchronous discharge variations with evolving lateral boundaries. Amidst this variability, a ~1300 km grounding-line retreat has occurred since the Last GlacialMaximum. Numerical studies of Ice Stream D (Parizek and others, 2002) indicate that a proposed thermal-regulation mechanism(Clarke and Marshall, 1998; Hulbe and MacAyeal,1999; Tulaczyk and others, …
