In this paper a system for increasing children's safety is proposed. The focus is on the daily route from home to school and vice versa, assuming the use of school buses. IoT paradigm is exploited together with different localization techniques i.e. RFID and GPS, in order to design a solution for parents willing to make certain of their child's following the main steps to school or home, i.e. taking...
This paper discusses the concept of a smart wearable device for little children. The major advantage of this wearable over other wearable is that it can be used in any cellphone and doesn't necessarily require an expensive smartphone and not a very tech savvy individual to operate. The purpose of this device is to help parents locate their children with ease. At the moment there are many wearables...
In this review we discuss some aspects of herbal use among pregnant women and children, since exposure to phytomedicines is frequent in these subjects, often on a self-treatment basis. From an analysis of the literature some interesting aspects emerge: (1) herbal consumption during pregnancy ranges from 7 to 45%, depending on the geographical area; (2) the use of herbal products during pregnancy...
With the rapid increase of internet use by children worldwide, and the diversity of electronic tools used to surf the Internet, parents are becoming more concerned than ever about the safety of their children and their protection from harmful materials and risks associated with their Internet use. The study aims to investigate parental involvement in children's Internet use, their awareness and mediation...
The study objectives were: (1) to develop and design an Electronic book (E-book) for improving knowledge addressed pesticide safety behaviors among children living in rubber farming areas; and (2) to evaluate their knowledge and perceptions on pesticide use. This study was conducted in the Khogyang community, Trang province, Thailand between September 2013 and March 2014. E-book's content validity...
Many electronic products commonly found in the household are not considered children's products and are not regulated as such. However, these products may still be accessible to children, and in some cases, they may have designs that make them appealing to young children. Toddlers and young children will pick up and play with devices ranging from remote controls to cell phones. Although regulations...
In this paper, 9 to 12 years old children and their parents were studied about they selective purchasing children's toys through interviews and questionnaires were launched. There are some significant differences between these two groups in the behaviour, cognize and psychology, that were analysed and researched to get some information for designers who are designing on the old children's toys.
In order to increase the safety for children, with help of a higher degree of control and routine during school transport, an EU-project, SAFEWAY2SCHOOL1, started in 2010. This project aims to take the previous study, made in 2008 in Kristianstad, a step further and highlight and enhance the technological aspects of different subsystems in order to achieve a system even more useful. Within the project...
Even though protecting the children — one of the most vulnerable transport system's users — is of great importance for all societies, bus transport to school is a highly under investigated area in many EU-countries. School transport by bus is not just about going by the school bus. It should be considered from a door-to-door perspective. A system that supports all involved stakeholders and take into...
Bus Stops for school busses incorporate a special risk to school children. Most accidents on the way to school occur at or close to the school bus stops. Modern ITS telecommunication technology can be applied to make bus stops safer and inform car drivers about dangerous bus stops on their route. In order to raise the acceptance of speed limits at bus stops it can help to reliably inform the drivers...
Because cognitive characteristics and mental characteristics of children are limited, the road traffic safety educational methods should stimulate children's interest and make them focus on the taught content. In order to get the better educational method three different kinds of educational methods are analyzed from effect to short-term memory, long term memory and mental load. Through relative analysis...
This paper investigates and analysis the psychological state and the basic physiological characteristics of children and analysis the situation of children's chair in the domestic and international market; illustrate the type and the advantage and disadvantage of children's chair by mixed forms, focus on the classification of famous foreign brand of children's chair and with this as the baseline of...
The purpose of this paper is motion analysis by experiment and simulation for riding bicycles with children. It is very important to think about stability when the bicycle is driving with children. However, such a research is not so performed. Therefore, analysing human motions in the such case by some experiments and simulations, dynamic characteristics of the such case are shown. The modeling of...
Recently, there has been an increasing concern regarding the effects of electromagnetic waves on the health of humans. The safety of radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) is evaluated by the specific absorption rate (SAR). In recent years, SAR has been estimated by numerical simulation using fine-resolution and anatomically realistic reference whole-body voxel models of people of various...
Emotion simulation is very useful for modeling believable virtual character in safety education software, in order to enhance the efficacy of emotion simulation for Web3D applications, a fuzzy productive rule-based emotion model is presented, it integrates the mechanism of emotion decay and emotion filtering, an emotion intensity is calculated by Mamdani inference model. A 3D virtual interactive virtual...
The author points out noninvasive measurements are highly desirable in physiology for two main reasons: (1) absence of interference with the system under evaluation and (2) safety for the subject. Such measurements are especially important in children and during sleep or exercise studies. In these conditions a simple mouth piece, for instance, significantly modifies breathing pattern and can be considered...
