Narażenie na hałas podczas pracy i praktyka prewencyjna wśród pracowników pracujących w kamieniołomach w rejonie prowincji An Giang, 2018
No full textNoise is one of the most common occupational hazards in Vietnam, causing occupational hearing impairement. Stone mining is among the high-risk working environment. This study aims to describe noise exposure and prevention practice among workers of stone mining in An Giang province. A cross-sectional study using a quantitative method was conducted in 2018. 176 noise samples were collected, and 215 workers were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Results show that workers at grinding section exposed with the high level of noise (compared to national standards) and they did not practice adequately to protect themselves from the hazard. Workers aged above 39 years old and had more than 10-year working experience had better prevention practice than the other groups. The differences were statistically significant. It is concluded that workers were exposed to the high level of noise at work, their practice regarding hearing impairement prevention was not adequate, and age, years of working were associated factors with prevention practice among workers.W kamieniołomach na rejonie prowincji An Giang występuje szereg źródeł lub procesów emitujących hałas, który powoduje uciążliwość akustyczną przede wszystkim na stanowiskach pracy. Część procesów/źródeł pozostaje poza możliwościami zastosowania wyciszeń użycie materiałów wybuchowych w kopalni czy stosowanie ciężkiego sprzętu do transportu urobku. Uciążliwe dźwięki mogą być szkodliwe nie tylko dla słuchu, ale mają negatywny wpływ na cały organizm. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu opisanie narażenia na hałas i praktyk zapobiegawczych wśród pracowników górnictwa kamienia w prowincji An Giang. W 2018 roku przeprowadzono badanie przekrojowe metodą ilościową. Pobrano 176 próbek hałasu i przeprowadzono wywiady z 215 pracownikami za pomocą ustrukturyzowanego kwestionariusza. Wyniki pokazują, że pracownicy sekcji szlifowania narażeni byli na wysokim poziomie hałasu (w porównaniu z normami krajowymi) i nie ćwiczyli odpowiednio, aby chronić się przed zagrożeniem. Pracownicy w wieku powyżej 39 lat i mający ponad 10-letnie doświadczenie zawodowe mieli lepsze praktyki profilaktyczne niż inne grupy. Stwierdzono, że pracownicy byli narażeni na wysokim poziomie hałasu w miejscu pracy, ich praktyka w zakresie profilaktyki wad słuchu nie była adekwatna, a wiek, lata pracy były czynnikami związanymi z praktyką profilaktyczną wśród pracowników

Business plan for a coffee shop
No full textThis subject of this thesis project is the author’s business plan for opening a themed book coffee shop in Helsinki and involved discovering how a new graduate is going to establish a start-up company in the food and beverage field. The study addresses how a business is run as a start-up company and discuss several difficulties of becoming an entrepreneur in Finland.
The theoretical framework of this thesis discusses issues regarding entrepreneurship, the setting up of a company and how this should be documented. The objective of the study was to produce a feasible business plan for a coffee shop in Helsinki and to help people get a closer look at the step-by-step procedure of how this can be achieved.
The empirical research involved investigating the Finns’ habits of consuming coffee and other popular beverages in order for the author to design the menu of the coffee shop. Market research and observation of how coffee shops in Helsinki are doing in terms of their success in maintaining and strengthening their brand were also utilized to draw up a detailed business plan.
The thesis project utilized and qualitative research methods. By interviewing 3 the coffee shop owners and customers about their interest in buying coffee in Helsinki, details concerning the potential market could be gauged and some of the pitfalls likely to face a new graduate when opening a coffee house could be determined. The thesis has brought a clearer insight on how to run a coffee business in the Helsinki region as well as given a detail business plan for the startup step by step
Groundwater Quality Assessment Using Fuzzy-AHP in An Giang Province of Vietnam
No full textAlong with rapid population growth in Vietnam, there is an increasing dependence on groundwater for various activities. An Giang province is known to be one of the agricultural intensification areas of The Vietnamese Mekong Delta (VMD). This study aimed to evaluate the spatiotemporal variation of groundwater quality for a period of ten years from 2009 to 2018 in An Giang. The weighted groundwater quality index (GWQI) was developed based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (Fuzzy-AHP) for assigning weighted parameters. The results show that that shallow wells in the Northeast and Southeast regions of An Giang were mostly categorized under "bad water" quality with high arsenic (As) concentration over the years partly due to huge amounts of sediment deposition in monsoon season. Overall, the reason for the poor groundwater quality in An Giang was the combined effect of both natural and human activities. On the other hand, we detected high values of GWQI links with high As concentration in areas where people extract more groundwater for irrigation. Temporal variation of GWQI suggested that groundwater quality at eight wells has improved from 2009 to 2018 in the wet season as compared to the dry season. The reason behind the improvement of groundwater quality during wet season was the decrease in river discharge, which causes less deposition of suspended solids near the flood plains. Moreover, the filling of unused wells can reduce the movement of pollutants from unused wells to groundwater aquifers. Although there was not sufficient evidence to show the relationship between As and sediment concentration, the temporal reduction trend in river discharge and suspended solids was detected in An Giang. The understanding of groundwater quality can help policymakers protect and manage limited water resources in the long-term
