This work aimed at the description of the working conditions of the nurse, its specification, transformation and contradictions. The sample was constituted of 10 skilled nurses or specialists in obstetric nursing active in six public institutions in Salvador (four maternity hospitals and two hospitals). As technique of data collection there were used interviews and observation with participation. The results on the working conditions are presented through the following components; working day, wage, feeding, rest, human resources, facilities, material and other aspects. There were observed several inadequacies in the conditions offered to the work of a nurse, not only the ones related to the environment but also the needed raw materials for the women assistance during the birth as well. There were found some accounts related to the existing conditions for the work, which demonstrated inherent conditions in the health work seen as social practice.

In this paper, we studied the diffusion characteristics and distribution patterns of gas leakage in soil from buried natural gas pipelines. The three-dimensional simulation model of buried natural gas pipeline leakage was established using Fluent software. Monitoring points of gas leakage mole fraction were set up at different locations, and the influence of buried depth and pressure factors on the mole fraction and diffusion of leaked gas was analyzed.

Order picking tasks require repetitive trunk and upper arms movements that may increase the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders, particularly among older workers due to the decline of their physical capabilities with aging. We proposed an approach based on a limited number of wearable inertial sensors to assessed exposures to non-neutral trunk and upper arms postures among both older and young workers during their regular work-shifts. The obtained data were processed accordingly to international standards (ISO 11226 and EN 1005-4) to detect the existence of possible differences associated with age-specific working strategies.
