Pulmonary Effects of Cement Exposure in Construction Workers Correlating Lung Function Parameters with Workplace Hygiene
Abstract: Construction workers are routinely exposed to cement dust, a recognized occupational hazard known to adversely affect respiratory health. This study investigates the pulmonary effects of cement exposure in construction workers by evaluating lung function parameters and examining the role of workplace hygiene practices. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on a sample of construction workers with varying durations of exposure to cement dust. Spirometric assessments, including forced vital capacity (FVC), forced …

Attendance System Based on Facial Recognition
Abstract: Attendance management is a fundamental aspect of educational institutions and workplaces, ensuring accountability, discipline, and operational efficiency. Traditional methods, such as manual roll calls, RFID cards, and fingerprint scanners, are often time-consuming, error-prone, and susceptible to fraud. This research presents an automated attendance management system utilizing face recognition technology to address these challenges effectively. The proposed system employs OpenCV for real-time image processing, the face recognition library for accurate facial …

Polymer-Integrated Smart Biomedical Waste Management System Using AI and Sensor-Based Segregation
Abstract: Biomedical waste, which comes from healthcare facilities like hospitals, clinics, and labs, includes both infectious and non-infectious materials. This can range from sharps and pathological waste to pharmaceutical leftovers and general medical trash. If this waste isn't handled, sorted, and disposed of properly, it can pose serious contamination risks, leading to infections, workplace hazards, environmental damage, and public health emergencies. Traditional biomedical waste management often relies on manual sorting, which …
