Airborne Particulates Assessment in KL Sentral, Malaysia: Symptoms Associated with Sick Building Syndrome and Perceptions on Indoor Air Quality among Malaysian
This literature review was obtained by reviewing and analyzing peeTakishaPeck109
This literature review was obtained by reviewing and analyzing peer-reviewed scholarly articles related to Sun Coast's six problems. The six problems are particulate matter, safety training effectiveness, sound-level exposure, new employee training, lead exposure, and return on investment. This literature review will provide evidence on how each of Sun Coast's problems may directly impact the company and employees.
Particulate Matter (PM)
In 2016, Velentza conducted quantitative research on existing data concerning particulate matter and its impact on humans and other organisms' health. Velentza (2016) is a Registered Nurse (RN) specializing in psychiatric and environmental nursing at the Eginition Hospital in Athens, Greece. The study outlines particulate matters' classification, how they are formed and their direct sources, and the impact on the human body and DNA (Velentza, 2016). The study found that exposure to particulate matter can cause minor to serious damage to the human body, including increased phlegm, persistent cough, dizziness, respiratory problems, damaged lung tissue, and cardiovascular diseases (Velentza, 2016). The study also found that long-term human exposure to particulate matter can reduce a human's life span by one to two years (Velentza, 2016). The study relates to Sun Coast because there is a concern that particulate matter on and around the job site is causing health problems for their employees, which directly impacts costs for employee health benefits and compensation.

Senior leadership is interested in seeing the project through to fruition. The six business problems identified include particulate matter, safety training effectiveness, sound level exposure, lead exposure, new employee training, and return on investment. The literature review was based on these six problems. The research methodology used is quantitative since it allows for computation and experimentation. Besides, it is good for quantitative behavior. The main null hypothesis (Ho) being analyzed is that there is no statistical difference between individual groups that have undergone training, and those that have not undergone training. The independent t-test indicates statistically significant performance results between group A and group B. This test results in a p-value of less than 0.05, which is 1.94E-15. The study results showed that new employees who received training on safety could apply these measures throughout. Besides, exposure to particulate matter leads to ill health. The toxicity differs in different types of particulate matter. Lead poisoning was detected in some of the employees working in some sites. The company should increase its level of monitoring employees working in various sites for lead exposure. That will make it possible for such employees to be detected early enough so that interventions can be taken. Besides, employees should be given personal protective equipment to protect them from exposure to toxic particulate matter. Such equipment includes face masks.

Effects Of Indoor Environmental Quality On The Occupants Of Islamic Universit...KHALIL EL KHATEEB
Indoor environmental quality is one of the most important factors that affect the residents of the indoor locations, and IUG is considered as a leader in the pursuit of providing satisfaction for workers. This study aims to identify the impact of the elements of indoor environmental quality on the employees of the Islamic University and to compare these elements with the international recognized standards. This study was conducted on 22 rooms within IUG, where employees spend more 7 hours in their offices during three seasons: winter, spring)the second semester) and summer, in two stages, the first stage: field work, by measuring the concentration of CO2,CO,HR,T, PM and noise by using the relevant devices, the second stage: designing a questionnaire for exploring the extent of the impact of these factors on the employees working indoors.
Impact of Air Quality on Human Health In The Vicinity of Construction Sites i...IJERA Editor
Construction sites are important source of air pollution emitting pollutants like PM10, etc. which adversely affect human health especially the respiratory system. The present study aims at monitoring of PM10, health condition of workers, evaluation of API (Air Pollution Index) and development of correlation between API and human health in the vicinity of construction sites. In the present study relevant literature review has also been carried out to study and analyze the impact of air pollution on human health. Reconnaissance survey of 19 selected construction sites in Delhi-NCR has been conducted for the period January 2013 to December 2013 and health related data of people in the vicinity of construction sites has been collected individually through a questionnaire. The air quality data (for pollutant PM10) for the area in which the selected construction sites lie has been obtained from the continuous monitoring stations of Central Pollution Control Board. The monthly average PM10 concentration in the ambient air for the study period has been obtained for all the sites. The annual average PM10 level of all the sites has been estimated and compared with the prescribed value. Also the air pollution index (API) (for pollutant PM10) has been calculated for each site and compared with the percentage of people suffering with respiratory problems at the respective sites. The results show that the construction sites where the value of API for PM10 is higher there the percentage of people suffering with respiratory diseases has also been higher.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Abstract
Since most of our time were spent indoors, Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is very important to our
health and comfort. A study on IAQ and specifically on airborne particulates are the best
means to identify and reduce the negative effects of airborne particulates in the building to
the occupants of building. The previous studies concentrated mainly on medical incidents
that can usually be traced back and officially verified cases such as asthmatic and acute
respiratory infection. Unfortunately, other medical complaints such as eye, nose or throat
irritation, headaches, fatigue, dizziness, difficulty in concentration and nausea (odour) cases
have not been studied. The study of air pollution here is very important in order to obtain the
knowledge about the level of air quality especially airborne particulates that may affect the
human health. It is done by focusing on 100 respondents who were occupants of building or
public users. The primary data obtained in October to December 2010. From the survey
conducted, there are 47 (56%) of the total respondents experienced health problems due to
SBS and BRI in their office building for examples eye, nose or throat irritation, headaches,
dry skin and humidifier fever meanwhile, their perceptions on Indoor Air Quality within
selected office buildings (i.e. SSM, KTMB and MRCB, KL Sentral) found that there are 50%
of respondents thought that air quality in their building is in good condition. Hence, the level
of awareness on the importance of healthy IAQ in office buildings among the occupants also
needs to be improved.
