Predicting fatigue-related aberrant driving behaviours in taxi drivers
Taxi drivers face elevated risks of fatigue-related aberrant driving behaviours (ADBs), exacerbated by sleep-related factors, yet predictive models incorporating these factors remain underexplored. This study employed a multi-modal approach to assess the predictive value of heart rate variability (HRV) metrics for fatigue-related ADBs and to assess the added value of integrating demographic and sleep data. A four-day naturalistic driving study in…
How Can We Improve Initial Public Response During Emergencies? Recommendations from a Systematic Review of Pre-Incident Information
This systematic review examines the effect of pre-incident information on public preparedness prior to an emergency or disaster. Preparing members of the public for adverse events can improve self-sufficiency and improve health outcomes, particularly during periods when emergency responders are not immediately available. Twenty-three studies were identified, addressing both natural and human-influenced events. All the studies investigated pre-inc…
Casualty Behaviour and Mass Decontamination
Chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) incidents pose significant challenges requiring swift, coordinated responses to safeguard public health. This is especially the case in densely populated urban areas, where the public is not only at risk but can also be of assistance. Public cooperation is critical to the success of mass decontamination efforts, yet prior research has primarily focused on technical and procedural aspects, neg…
Current Status of Pollution in Major Rivers and Tributaries of India and Protection-Restoration Strategies
Characteristics of crowd disaster
Crowd disasters pose a serious societal threat with frequent occurrence and high fatality. Despite thorough research having been conducted on the basic mechanisms behind crowd disasters, further qualitative study is required to explain patterns of crowd movement under different environmental conditions. This paper describes the methodology behind the creation of a novel crowd disaster database, incorporating unprecedentedly strict inclusion crite…
Associations between air pollution, intracellular-to-extracellular water distribution, and obstructive sleep apnea manifestations
Background Exposure to air pollution may be a risk factor for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) because air pollution may alter body water distribution and aggravate OSA manifestations. Objectives This study aimed to investigate the mediating effects of air pollution on the exacerbation of OSA severity through body water distribution. Methods This retrospective study analyzed body composition and polysomnographic data collected from a sleep center in…
Understanding levels of compliance with emergency responder instructions for members of the Public involved in emergencies
It is essential to understand how members of the public make decisions during emergencies. Such understanding is crucial in order to understand how emergency services can best influence positive protective behaviours. Previous research in this area has indicated that members of the public will respond both to the threat from an incident such as a fire as well the way the threat is managed by emergency responders and that this management will be c…
A quantification of the reliability of self-reports following a simulated stressful event
Interviews and surveys are the most commonly used data-gathering and data-generating techniques when investigating human behaviour in emergencies. However, these approaches suffer from several limitations, including potential errors in memory accuracy, a lack of quantitative reliability. This study focuses on a survey performed on participants who had taken part in a stressful experiment. The survey was carried out three months afterwards, asking…
Secondary Qualitative Research Methodology Using Online Data within the Context of Social Sciences
Qualitative research using interviews is a crucial and established inquiry method in social sciences to ensure that the study outputs represent the researched people and area rather than those who are researching. However, first hand primary data collection is not always possible, often due to external circumstances. Additionally, the use of secondary data, particularly open data, is progressively preferred to increase efficiency and gain geograp…
Research as agitation
A torrent of public attention has surfaced myriad allegations of exploitation, discrimination and abuse by humanitarian, development, international aid, and global agencies. Amid these, Me decins Sans Frontires (MSF), our former employer, has been thrust into the spotlight, owing in large part to the tmoignage and activism of current and former employees mobilizing in a growing movement to "Decolonise MSF". In June 2020, a staff-led open letter c…
