Exploring the Participant-Related Determinants of Simulator Sickness in a Physical Motion Car Rollover Simulation as Measured by the Simulator Sickness Questionnaire.

Physical motion driving simulators serve as a valuable research and training tool. Since many simulator participants suffer from simulator sickness (SS), we aimed to gain a better understanding of participant-related variables that may influence its incidence and severity. The study involved a 2-min mobile-platform car rollover simulation conducted in a group of 100 healthy adult participants.

How paramedics perceive internal noise in ambulance? sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) and Subjective Noise Assessment.

Introduction: This article discusses the correlation between sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) as a feature of personality and temperament and paramedics' subjective perception of noise inside an ambulance. Description of the theoretical basis of SPS has been strongly depicted.

Materials And Methods: : Polish translation of SPS 12-item short scale and a survey concerning the subjective perception of noise inside an ambulance have been used in this research.

[Simulator sickness and the in Polish practice. A study involving professional drivers subject to compulsory initial and periodic qualification courses].

Background: A phenomenon of simulator sickness is measurable in terms of physiological symptoms. The article presents the practical use of the (SSQ) in post-exposure research, together with feedback given by the examined drivers.

Material And Methods: The study was conducted on the AutoSim AS 1600 simulator, and involved 130 drivers attending preliminary and periodic qualification courses in road transportation.

[The phenomenon of job stress and burnout syndrome in palliative care].

This paper is focused on the analysis of the phenomenon of occupational burnout from the perspectives of the sick person, his/her family and the helper. Practical principles of effective care for dying people and their families were also indicated in order to make the therapeutic team free from the symptoms of occupational burnout. Med.

Exposure to infrasonic noise in agriculture.

Introduction And Objectives: Although exposure to audible noise has been examined in many publications, the sources of infrasound in agriculture have not been fully examined and presented. The study presents the assessment of exposure to infrasound from many sources at workplaces in agriculture with examples of possible ergonomic and health consequences caused by such exposure.

Materials And Method: Workers'-perceived infrasonic noise levels were examined for 118 examples of moving and stationary agricultural machines (modern and old cab-type tractors, old tractors without cabins, small tractors, grinders, chargers, forage mixers, grain cleaners, conveyors, bark sorters and combine-harvesters).
