Digital Twin Applications in the Extractive IndustryA Short Review

Introduction: The technological development brought up by Industry 4.0 has wholly revolutionised the industrial sector, promptly opening doors to improving operational efficiency and occupational safety. Trying to understand where the extractive industry stands, this short review aimed to find evidence of the sectors digital twin and digitalisation applications and their integration level. Methodology: The Pref...

Modelling Physical Fatigue Through Physiological Monitoring Within High-Risk Pr...

Physical fatigue is not only a tiredness condition but can also be a symptom of various diseases or a precursor of workplace accidents and incidents. High-risk professions like firefighters and military personnel are more frequently exposed to it and its consequences. To contribute to current research efforts towards physical fatigue quantification approaches for these professionals, the current work aimed to t...

Cardiopulmonary, Metabolic and Perceived Exertion Characteristics Among Portugu...

Background: Firefighting is a strenuous occupation that requires firefighters to be in excellent physical condition. However, some of these professionals are not sufficiently physically fit for duty, negatively impacting their performance. Objective: To cardiopulmonary characterize Portuguese firefighters at different exercise intensities to clarify if their physical fitness profile is adequate to overcome thei...

Automation of text document classification in the budgeting phase of the Constr...

Purpose - This study aims to review recent advances towards the implementation of ANN and NLP applications during the budgeting phase of the construction process. During this phase, construction companies must assess the scope of each task and map the client's expectations to an internal database of tasks, resources and costs. Quantity surveyors carry out this assessment manually with little to no computer aid,...

Use of mining residues to reestablish and improve soil in degraded/eroded areas

Physiological Monitoring Systems for Fatigue Detection Within Firefighters: A B...

Firefighters fatigue can negatively impact safety, production, and health. During firefighting, the risks are extreme, and firefighters health status is commonly neglected. A wearable sensor capable of predicting fatigue levels would have a substantial positive impact on the health and organisation of the teams. This review aims to collect information regards usage conditions and the development of wearable sen...

Environmental and Occupational Safety and Hygiene KPI in the Mining IndustryA S...

In a technologically enhanced world brought by Industry 4.0, a great bulk of information can be drawn from the industrial processes. Nowadays, the question is what to do with information and how to manage it, rather than how to collect it. In this sense, Key Performance Indicators might be the answer. Mining is the industry where a more profound change can be seen but, at the same time, remains in the top three...

Movement Analysis in Going Up and Down Stairs and the Aggravation of Patellofem...

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a musculoskeletal disorder in the anterior region of the knee, affecting people of different ages. When it is necessary to go up and down many stairs in a work context, there is a risk of increased wear on the knee joint and, consequently, PFPS. The main objective of this work was to identify the risk of contracting PFPS associated with the action of going up and down stai...
