Three Major Contributors to Back Pain
Dr. Grace Walker Gray, a physical and occupational therapist and certified nutritionist, explored three major causes of back pain in a recent article. The first is poor sleep, which can be addressed by investing in better bedding to encourage proper posture. The second is sedentary lifestyles at work and school, where extended sitting increases back discomfort; setting alarms to remind oneself to move can help. The third is whole-body vibrations experienced by operators of heavy machinery like truck and farm equipment, as identified by University of Iowa researchers, which necessitates physical therapy to counter the effects of labor-intensive jobs.
workplace-design-for-well-being
This document discusses how workplace design can be used to promote employee well-being. It argues that traditional workplace design focused on functionality and productivity, but a new people-centric approach aims to support employees' physical and psychological health through elements like natural light, adjustable workstations, and varied work settings. Promoting well-being leads to benefits like lower absenteeism and higher engagement, creating a healthier and more productive workforce.
Mental work
This document summarizes research from Laval University in Quebec on preventing obesity. It presents several key findings:
1) Mental work, like reading and writing tasks, increases spontaneous energy intake compared to resting. Completing computerized tests also increases workload, reaction times, and glucose instability versus a control condition.
2) A sport-studies program combining academic classes, physical activity, and hockey instruction led to decreased BMI and improved fitness while maintaining academic success in students.
3) Researchers at Laval University hold weekly running meetings to discuss obesity prevention and treatment research, believing it increases productivity and focus compared to stationary meetings.

Temperature & Lighting: It’s Impact on Employee Productivity
Lighting and temperature are two of the simplest—and most underestimated—things that can boost productivity. On the surface level, the concept seems simple: people are not motivated to work as hard if they are straining their eyes and are distracted with the temperature.
Ergonomics
Ergonomics aims to design workspaces and tasks to minimize injury or harm by considering human abilities and limitations. It focuses on ensuring worker health, safety, and productivity through measures like adjustable seating, minimizing repetitive motions, and alternative tasks. Ergonomics standards provide procedures for measuring and reducing physical stress and fatigue in various work environments like vehicles, control centers, and machines. Adhering to ergonomics helps create safe, comfortable workspaces and improves productivity, quality, costs and employee engagement and satisfaction.

Marietta van der Linden & Gillian Robinson - Exercise and MS related fatigue
Fatigue is a common and debilitating symptom of multiple sclerosis (MS). The document discusses primary and secondary causes of MS-related fatigue and reviews evidence that exercise can help reduce fatigue. It finds that exercise, particularly balance training, has a moderate beneficial effect on fatigue compared to no exercise. However, the optimal type, dose, and mechanisms of how exercise impacts fatigue remain unclear and more research is needed to provide definitive guidance. Barriers to exercise for people with MS include fatigue itself as well as physical ability, variability in symptoms, fear, and accessibility issues.

Dissertation Poster Presentation
This study examined the effects of two pre-cooling methods - cold water immersion and ice slurry ingestion - on core temperature and ratings of perceived exertion during cycling interval sprints in hot and humid conditions, compared to a no pre-cooling control. Both pre-cooling methods lowered core temperature prior to exercise, but only cold water immersion prevented core temperature from rising as much during exercise. However, pre-cooling did not correlate with lower ratings of perceived exertion, as was hypothesized. Therefore, pre-cooling lowers core temperature but does not affect the rise in perceived exertion from exercise in the heat.
What is Ergonomics
Ergonomics is defined as fitting the job to the worker. Occupational therapists and physical therapists can contribute to ergonomics by evaluating workplaces and tools to prevent musculoskeletal injuries and ensure accessibility for those with disabilities. Examples of areas therapists can assess include posture, repetitive motions, forceful exertions, and vibration. Therapists are knowledgeable in anatomy, injury prevention, and the needs of different populations - skills that complement ergonomists who focus more on engineering, equipment design, and safety analysis. Collaboration between the fields can enhance workplace and tool design.

Occupational health and safety is important for organizations and employees. It protects the most valuable assets - employees - from hazards in the workplace. When health and safety is lacking, it can result in loss of labor, reduced efficiency and productivity, job dissatisfaction, increased costs, and employees facing hazards. Proper management of health and safety includes developing policies, training, hazard identification, and ensuring responsibilities are clear at all levels. The goal is to educate employees and create a culture where their well-being is protected.
79233671-Concepts-in-Work-Hardening.pptx
The document discusses the concepts and history of work hardening programs. It defines work hardening as a multidisciplinary, goal-oriented treatment program designed to maximize a person's ability to return to work by addressing their functional, physical, behavioral and vocational needs. Work hardening utilizes real or simulated work conditions and physical conditioning tasks to progressively improve biomechanical, neuromuscular and other functions so individuals can make a successful transition from injury to returning to work.

Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on Blockchain
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.
