Application of the best-worst method approach for prioritizing risk factors of musculoskeletal disorders among mobile device users: A case study.

Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the most common work-related health issues among mobile device (MD) users due to long hour of working during homestay. Various researches have been carried out earlier for identifying the MSD risk factors, though the risk factors' priority and weightage play an important role for risk management.

Objective: In the current study, the priority and weightage for MSD risk factor (individual factor, personal factor, psychosocial factor, and subfactors in each factor) were identified using the best-worst method (BWM) for MD users through a case study.

Effect of work experience and upper-limb muscle activity on grip strength of manual workers.

The current study correlated grip strength (GS) measurements with upper-limb muscle activity (UMA) for three different experience levels of manual workers (beginner, intermediate and advanced). . A total of 182 male and female manual workers were chosen, and GS was assessed in some contexts using a digital handgrip dynamometer.

Effect of physical activity intervention on the musculoskeletal health of university student computer users during homestay.

The coronavirus outbreak delivered the condition of dying from infection and forced people (especially university student computer users) to perform all working and non-working activities during homestay. In this situation, device usage for a longer duration is mainly responsible for work-related health issues. This study aims to discover the effect of a physical activity intervention (PAI) on computer users' musculoskeletal health during homestay.

Risk factors of musculoskeletal symptoms among mobile device users during work from home.

Coronavirus (COVID-19) is affecting people throughout the world. People are forced to conduct various activities at home using mobile devices (MDs) as a result of the outbreak. In this case, prolonged use of MDs is the major cause for work-related health problems.

Performance analysis of multi-gap V-roughness with staggered elements of solar air heater based on artificial neural network and experimental investigations.

Among all renewable energy sources, solar power is one of the major sources which contributes for pollution control and protection of environment. For a number of decades, technologies for utilizing the solar power have been the area of research and development. In the current research, thermal performance parameters of multi-gap V-roughness with staggered elements of a solar air heater (SAH) are experimentally investigated.

An integrated multi-criteria decision-making approach for identifying the risk level of musculoskeletal disorders among handheld device users.

In work-from-home (WFH) situation due to coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the handheld device (HHD) users work in awkward postures for longer hours because of unavailability of ergonomically designed workstations. This problem results in different type of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among the HHD users. An integrated multi-criteria decision-making approach was offered for identifying the risk level of MSDs among HHD users.

Effect of fabricated V-rib roughness experimentally investigated in a rectangular channel of solar air heater: a comprehensive review.

Solar power is one of the main sources of renewable energy which helps for protecting the environmental and reducing pollution. Technologies and systems for utilizing solar power are the area of research and development for a number of decades. In a solar air heater (SAH), use of fabricated irregularities on its wide face is an effective technique to augment heat discharge for flowing air with a moderate rise in frictional conduct.

Use of 2-methoxyethyl ether and nitromethane as oxygenated additives for performance improvement and emission reduction of CI engine: experimental investigation and numerical simulation.

Diesel engines are playing a vital responsibility in the field of automobile, agriculture, construction, and power generation. In the present world, much research is going on in the field of renewable energy to replace conventional sources of energy. But it is not very easy to replace diesel engines with other sources due to the better power output and reliability.

Experimental study and comparative analysis of modified solar paraboloidal dish-thermoelectric generator systems.

Solar energy is one of the major sources of renewable energy which contributes for environmental protection and pollution reduction. Methods and technologies to utilize concentrated solar energy have been the subject of research and development for a number of decades. In the present study, experimental investigations were carried out for improving the performance of small-scale solar paraboloidal dish-thermoelectric generator (SPD-TEG) system.

Effect of diesel-methanol-nitromethane blends combustion on VCR stationary CI engine performance and exhaust emissions.

The continuous rise in cost of fossil fuels and environmental pollution has attracted research in the area of clean alternative fuels for improving the performance and emission of internal combustion engines. In the present work, methanol and nitromethane were treated as a biofuel and investigations have been made to evaluate the feasibility of replacing diesel with a suitable diesel-methanol-nitromethane blend. For this, experimental investigations were carried out on a VCR diesel engine using diesel-methanol-nitromethane blends to determine the most favorable blending ratio and engine operating parameters for enhancing performance and reduce emissions.

Properties and effects of organic additives on performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine: a comprehensive review.

Fast depletion of conventional automobile fuels and environmental pollution due to exhaust emission are the issues of great importance. Improvement in engine performance and emission control is quite difficult to handle simultaneously. The fuel properties can be improved substantially by incorporation of additives in different proportions to get better emission standard without deteriorating the engine performance.
