Injury reducing effect of GSHP-heated pedestrian paths
No full textIn Sweden, pedestrian falls during wintertime due to slipping on ice and snow pose a costly and growing problem. Utilizing data on pedestrian falls from four Swedish cities, the study examined the injury-reducing effect of heated surfaces. The results suggest that heated surfaces significantly reduce injuries, particularly in cities with higher occurrences of ice and snow. Presently, district heating serves as the primary heat source, albeit at rising costs. Transitioning to Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems could substantially lower costs, thereby ensuring the continued use and expansion of heated pedestrian paths
Synopsis of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
No full textPostural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a condition that affects millions of people all over the world. There are three main types of POTS: neuropathic, hypovolemic, and hyperadrenergic. Some of the main symptoms of POTS are shakiness, dizziness, fatigue, and elevated heart rate and mostly occur when your body position changes. POTS is hard to diagnose because of the variety of symptoms and the range of times it can occur. The main way to diagnose POTS is by using the tilt table test. Doctors commonly recommend exercise, eating healthy, and avoiding things that can trigger the symptoms, but there are also medications that can be taken to help with some of the symptoms. Some of the more common medications used to treat the symptoms of POTS are fludrocortisone, pyridostigmine, midodrine, and beta blockers. There is a lot of research to be done into the causes of POTS and how to treat it better. One possible area of research is blood circulation and how to increase it either with drugs, such as pentoxifylline, or without the use of medication, such as using compression garments
Role of modern-day labor unions: Perceptions of U.S. airline employees
No full textLabor unions began as organizations that were formed to ensure fair wages, better benefits, and improved working conditions for workers. Over the past century, unions have evolved into political powerhouses which can be viewed as unethical due to the tactics they use. Some of these unions have been accused by some of their respective members of not fully representing them against corporate policies. Organized labor within the United States aviation industry is no exception. The demands of the unions can cause a cycle of (1) demanding higher wages and more benefits from the airline’s management team, lowering profits for the airline, (2) resulting higher price for consumers, (3) leading to lower ticket sales and lowering financial stability, (4) reducing the airline’s ability to pay the union’s newly granted premiums, (5) causing bankruptcy and/or layoffs, (6) renegotiating the unions’ contracts, (7) the company starting to make profits again, (8) unions seeing those profits and making demands for higher wages and better benefits for union members. The result, in terms of perception, is that even though unions are a necessary evil to help ward off greedy management teams, unions have become just as greedy. This study shows that opinions can differ greatly within the unionized aviation industry regarding the unions. Results of this project’s survey are examined within the scope of four research questions, guiding the researcher’s conclusions and recommendations concerning the perceptions of U.S. airline employees on unions. These conclusions focus on whether unions are ethical in nature and provide the representation that union members expect

Evaluating a salience nudge to increase uptake of 988
No full textSuicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2018) and the second leading cause of death among ages 18-24. Approximately 1,100 college students die by suicide each year in the United States (CDC, 2009), making college students particularly vulnerable to suicide risk. There is a need for tactics to broaden suicide prevention initiatives in the general public using scalable prevention resources. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is one scalable and effective resource that provides support and prevention efforts for individuals going through suicide crises, and having this number easily accessible may increase prevention opportunities. Prior research has shown that nudges, which are small interventions aimed to promote certain choices by taking advantage of decision makers’ cognitive biases and heuristics, have been shown to be effective at promoting suicide prevention resources (Bauer et al., 2019; Bauer et al., 2021). The current study investigated the efficacy of a previously unexplored nudge type in suicide research, the salience nudge, to promote willingness saving the 988 crisis line number into college students’ cell phones. The nudge was an informational statement regarding suicide rates among college students meant to increase salience of suicide as a relevant issue for students. Findings indicate that the salience nudge did not increase reported willingness to save, or actual behavior in saving, 988 into participants’ cell phones. Exploratory analyses suggest female gender, knowing someone who has died by suicide, personality traits of agreeableness and openness, and higher self-reported symptoms of depression and anxiety relate to willingness and behavior of saving the crisis line, independent of having received the nudge. Salience nudges that emphasize suicide risk may not increase uptake of 988 but other person-level factors may provide useful information in targeting such suicide prevention efforts
