How fatigue produce negative influences “Have you ever considered about which season has a higher risk of car accidents on the highway? Summer or winter?” I glanced to the right, kept my hands stable on the wheel. “It must be Winter.” Responded by my roommate without hesitation.“The slushy weather could make the highway slippery which is really dangerous.” “Actually, accidents happened more frequently in Summer because of fatigue driving, which made people drive under the condition of lower attention and reaction.” At this time, I can feel the confusion showed on my roommate’s face, yours as well. In fact, Summer always famous because of its high temperature and sunshine. Summer will have a longer day length and a warmer weather than other seasons, which could increase people’s drowsiness. This phenomenon happens to the human body which called fatigue that caused by irregular sleep, long time working, anxious, pressure, etc... could affect drivers’ attention and reactions in bad ways. As a result, this fatigue states …show more content…
As an international student, back home should be my most exciting moment of each year. However, the time difference has always haunted me as a trouble and would cause many problems. The most direct influence is the upside down schedule when the time I back to China after a long life I spent in the United States. I could feel like stay up late all the nights to have a normal life at home. I had the lower appetite and easy to have a cold every first week. I thought this phenomenon was endemic, but when the time I back to America I could have the same feeling which is fatigue. Under the help of an experimental result, we know that fatigue will also affect the person’s lifespan. Both a large amount of exercise and lack of sleep will help toxins accumulated in our body. The toxins will induce oxidation reaction which could accelerate
Second, in summer our body system gets easily tired and we tend to lose a lot of energy. In addition, normally the human body works hard to maintain a consistent internal temperature. but when people exposed to direct heat while spending time in the sun. all this extra physiological effort can make people feel tired or sleepy. moreover, less clothing means more exposed skin. The hot weather actually slows a human body very down. the hotter it is; the more energy they need to keep themselves cool. People dress very relax in summer and it is important to apply a sports sunscreen about 30 minutes before a person
People should be punished for not taking action in a life and death situation. In the article the author, Jay Sterling Silver, believes that civil liability should be established for everyone everywhere. I somewhat agree with his point because it’s the right thing to do but that’s not always the case. During a life and death situation people tend to panic and when they do they start to lose control because they are torn between taking action or calling 911 but it might be too late for that. People will act without precaution in an emergency or some will not act at all because they’re scared they might make the situation worse than what it is.
The short story “Driving to the Funeral” by Anna Quindlen discusses about the appropriate age to start driving. The author starts out by stating that “car crashes are the No. 1 cause of death among 15 to 20-year-olds in this country.” Many teenagers start driving at 16 and that is the reason why the number of car crashes continue to go up for their age group. Quindlen questions why parents of 16-year-olds allow their kids to start driving right away without giving it much thought. Their recklessness only leads to missing countless high school memories that last a lifetime. Teenagers who start driving early are known to break protocols, which is one of the reasons of fatal car crashes. One protocol is that they are not allowed to carry more
Tires squealed on black ice and the engine backfired as she swerved around a narrow edge of the cliff. Jennifer Lesniak is traveling from Wisconsin to Oregon in a six ton truck through treacherous mountains and endless plains. It was three days of almost non-stop driving, only being able to sleep when she gave the wheel to her husband. Just when she was about to give up she thought the extreme weather in Wisconsin and about why she was moving to Oregon in the first place. She carried on willed by the warmer weather that awaited her on the west coast. The snow fell like ash from a volcano, building up on the road to the point where they had to get out of their truck and shovel the road clear. “Clearing the roads were extremely difficult” She said. “We were so close to the edge of this mountain standing on slippery ice trying to shovel the snow out of the road with little to no safety guard between us and the drop.”
In the article “Beating the Winter Blues” the author also explains reasons how winter should be viewed as an unsafe season, in the article the author says”Some people find that
In this study, I believe the independent variables are the stage of illness of the patient, spiritual well-being, and gender. The dependent variable fatigue during the cancer treatment. In the setting and subject description, the selection criteria had inclusion, and exclusion criteria. Within the inclusion criteria, every one of the participants had to be 18, or older, and have active cancer related treatment with a cancer diagnosis with either a palliative or curative intent, willing to participate in the study. The criteria that was excluded were those individuals whom had completed the cancer treatment those whom only received treatment only palliative care.
There are barriers to CRF occurring at the patient, professional and system levels. The patients barrier is due to the patient believing that their fatigue is not important, that it is inevitable or untreatable. Patients usually do not consider fatigue as a valid problem to complain about to their providers. Even when patients communicate an overwhelming or severe fatigue, they are not sure about the process that care health care providers will use to diagnosis their fatigue (Borneman, 2007). Barriers at the professional levels, include a lack of knowledge about the complex nature of fatigue. Also there is lack in literature agreement about the definition of fatigue, it’s causes, effects and remedies used for fatigue management. Usually health care providers focus on managing pain and nausea because they interfere with quality of life but fatigue is not considered one of these symptoms that needs to be addressed.
Decreased Visibility- Winter weather decreases a driver’s ability to see what is ahead of them. Not only do the actual weather elements reduce visibility, but many accidents occur due to a driver’s negligence to clean their windshield and other windows
A Citizen, Roger, says “I could not go to work today since the roads are not ploughed”. Afterwards, the city took action to clear the roads as soon as possible, so they can help people who are stranded on the 401. The municipal were encouraging the citizens to stay inside and not to go out if they do not need to. The storm caused many cars to get stuck on the road due to the heavy snow the storm gave. The police says that they are prepared to lead the vehicles that were stuck to their way home.
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is one of several names given to a poorly understood, variably debilitating disorder of uncertain causation. CFS is thought, based on a 1999 study, to affect approximately 4 per 1,000 adults in the United States. For unknown reasons, CFS occurs more often in women than men, and in people in their 40s and 50s.
When winter comes around drivers try not to drive but when they have to drive, they try to be careful. Winter throws snow, hail and really cold weather at the drivers. The snow can cover the entire car, from the tires to the top of the car. When that happens drivers have to dig their car out and wipe all the snow off. Another thing that can happen is the cold air can freeze the engine or the pipes in the car. Drivers have to be careful when driving during winter because of the slippery ice on the road.
In America, twenty-four percent of all car accidents are weather-related. That fact raises a question: what about the weather causes these accidents? Many people would point to winter as the reason, but what about winter causes accidents? And can weather-related accidents happen in the summer? To get that answer we need to analyze the differences between road conditions in the winter and summer, and also the effect those seasons have on a person’s car.
As a Californian girl, one day I went to Washington for vacations. As I was driving, my car slipped and almost crashed, due to the winter conditions in Washington. It may seem the same to drive during the winter and the summer but it’s really different driving in these two seasons.
By adjusting covariate values, the researchers could estimate the exact rates at a time. In find the information of the study, the rate of the g-force event has 69.5% higher than the (95% confidence interval, CI= [13.7%, 152.6%]) for participant involved in accidents, than participants who were not involved in accidents. The g-force proceedings return to normal significantly in the 3rd month following the accident. The results generally reinforced the primary hypothesis that risky driving lowered following an accident. Both groups of the participants involved in accidents and those who were non-collision participants displayed lowers after g-force in month 3. Maybe this was a product of the young drivers reached a level of maturity and loss of interest for dangerous driving. The study did not give any ideas to were there should be more information provided in educational classes for drivers. The researchers had to rely on subjective data, for instance they used self-reported risk behaviors. The validity of the self-reported behavior has called for serious questions. In the considerations for the collision several factors need to come into play, in which would be conditions such
For Idaho, statistics show the negative repercussions and dangers of weather-related accidents. One study was completed by the United States Department of Transportation showing how weather relates to car accident statistics (U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration). In the United States yearly, about 22% of crashes and 16% of fatalities were based off weather related incidents such as slick roads and bad conditions (U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration). Over a ten year study, 33% of weather related accidents were based off of snow, sleet, and ice conditions (U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration).
