Fundamentals of Safe Life Activities (OBZhD)

On the degree and nature of the effect on the body All factors are conditionally divided into harmful (factors that, under certain conditions, become the cause of diseases or a decrease in working capacity; this refers to a decrease in working capacity that disappears after rest or a break in vigorous activity) and dangerous (factors that, under certain conditions, lead to traumatic injuries or sudden and severe health problems).

These factors can be natural (or natural) and anthropogenic nature, i.e., created by man (physical, chemical, biological), and psychophysiological.

Physical factors:

1) natural (all climatic indicators) - air temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric pressure, solar radiation;

2) anthropogenic - dust content in the air of the working area; vibrations (general and local); acoustic vibrations (infrasound, noise, ultrasound; static electricity); electromagnetic fields and radiation; infrared radiation, laser radiation; ultraviolet radiation, laser radiation; electricity; moving machines, mechanisms, materials, products, parts of collapsing structures and other things, height, falling objects, sharp fragments; increased or decreased temperature of surfaces of equipment and materials; weapons of mass destruction.

Chemical factors:

1) natural - chemicals that enter the human body with air, water, food.

These include amino acids, vitamins, proteins, fats, carbohydrates, trace elements;

2) anthropogenic - gas contamination of the working area; dustiness of the working area; the ingress of poisons on the skin and mucous membranes; the ingress of poisons into the gastrointestinal tract from various enterprises and transport or after being hit by chemical weapons.

Biological factors:

1) natural - microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi);

2) anthropogenic - biological plant protection products, emissions from food industry enterprises, farms, enterprises for the production of proteins, sera, vaccines, cutting fluids, biological weapons.

Psychophysical factors: according to the nature of their action on the human body, they are divided into physical overloads (they include static and dynamic overloads) and neuropsychological overloads (mental overstrain, overstrain of analyzers, monotony of work and emotional overloads).

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

Taking care of pets can often be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping your home clean. A new interesting solution from the Petgugu Global startup has been presented, which will make life easier for cat owners and help them keep their home perfectly clean and tidy. Startup Petgugu Global has unveiled a unique cat toilet that can automatically flush feces, keeping your home clean and fresh. This innovative device is equipped with various smart sensors that monitor your pet's toilet activity and activate to automatically clean after use. The device connects to the sewer system and ensures efficient waste removal without the need for intervention from the owner. Additionally, the toilet has a large flushable storage capacity, making it ideal for multi-cat households. The Petgugu cat litter bowl is designed for use with water-soluble litters and offers a range of additional ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

Electricity from a cockroach 03.04.2012

Scientists from Case Western Reserve University continue to develop technologies for the production of electricity from chemicals in living organisms. Recent experiments have demonstrated the ability to convert the natural sugar in the blood of insects and oxygen from the air into electricity. Energy is produced using implants placed in live cockroaches and even mushrooms.

Scientists have implanted a miniature fuel cell into living insects that uses sugar (trehalose) and oxygen from the air to generate electricity. The fuel cell did not lead to the death of insects and did not affect the functioning of internal organs. This technology could be used to create remote-controlled insects. Microscopic sensors and systems for controlling the movement of insects already exist today, but there is no miniature power source that could power the electronic parts of a cyborgized insect. A fuel cell powered by the main "fuel" of a living organism (sugar) is the ideal solution.

In addition, fuel cells can be implanted in humans. This will provide energy for microscopic diagnostic devices, artificial organs, mobile electronic devices, etc. Theoretically, the power of the fuel cell depends only on the vital resources of the recipient.

The implantable fuel cell paves the way for the widespread use of cyborg insects, which will be useful to the military, rescuers, and doctors. Also, the new technology in the future will provide an energy source for tiny medical nanorobots that can “pat up” a person from the inside.
